[At the school library.]
And this is where our science and nature books are.
Interesting.
Are there any questions? [Doris raise her hand up] Yes, Doris.
DorisDo you have any books about spiders?
Yes, indeed we do. [off-screen] Several of them, in fact.
Doris[groans in disgust] I'm not going to borrow any of those!
[Timothy, Yoko, Fritz and Nora laugh]
What's it like to be big?
DorisI don't know.
But you're the biggest in the class.
DorisThere are a lot of other times when I'm the smallest.
Like when?
DorisLike all the time at home. I'm the smallest in my family.
Really? You're the smallest?
DorisUh-huh, I'm even too small to ride the bumper cars at the fair. I have to watch my brothers drive past, and stick their tongues out at me. They call me a shrimp! It made me so mad!
Hmm, I just don't like being called a shrimp either. If I see your big brothers sticking their tongues out, I'll tell them to stop it.
DorisThanks, Charles! [to Claude's figure] What do you think about that, Mr. Big Shot?!
[Charles and Doris giggle]
DorisDo you want to come play at my house after school?
Okay.
[As for Nora, she loses this because Charles is at Doris's house. So she --Nora-- postpones it --the long talking-to-- until tonight. That is, even though it was supposed to be for this afternoon after school.]
(Charles is going to Doris's house?! Well, I am talking to him about this "lie" and "being bigger" status tonight. And I did say, "Sometime after school".)
[Nora and Charles both get permission from their parents, their teacher Mrs. Jenkins, and their principal to break into the school so Nora and Charles can use the school over the weekend. That is, so Nora can talk to Charles about Charles's incident for a serious conversation. That is, both her --Nora-- and Charles. And Charles is going to be sitting on Nora's lap and doing nothing but the "serious conversation".]
Your big brothers can learn a thing or two from your little friend, Doris.
DorisCharles is not little, Mom. He is just the smallest like me. (And he is just the smallest student in my class. That is, even if he is strong.)
[Despite remembering the craft models --since Charles's picture didn't line up like Nora and everybody else's pictures-- Doris still mentions Charles is big. But he is the smallest in the class.]
I see.
[Charles still feels the smell of Nora's nose. That is, after she --Nora-- was annoyed because his picture didn't line up on the floor like Nora's picture and everybody else's.]
[talking about his science project] I started working on it after school yesterday. You can see it at "Show and Share." That's when I'll do the test flight.
DorisTest flight?
Today?
I can't wait!
I'm going to do an experiment that shows how a rocket works.
A rocket?
A real rocket?
DorisOne that'll go into outer space?!
It won't go that far, but it will fly up in the air.
Wow.
I can't wait to see it.
That'll be great!
[When Grace takes a fall in ballet class]
[notices her "injury" after falling] Oh my goodness! Oh...!
DorisGrace, are you okay?
[Grace starts to cry.]
[sobs] No! Something is terribly wrong.
[Grace cries and hot tears run down her cheeks. She --Grace-- turns to Doris and faces her. And she says...!]
[in between tears] Dancers don't fall like that!
DorisHow do you normally fall?
[in between tears.] (How do they usually fall?!) I don't! (That is how!)
[Grace resumes crying. That is, as more hot tears run down her cheeks.]
[crying] I'm so embarrassed!
[Doris wants to know how dancers usually fall, when Grace told her they do not fall like that. But Grace says they don't.]
DorisMaybe you hit a slippery spot, Grace. That is all.
Yes, I think you're right.
DorisYou're still the best dancer I've ever seen.
Thank you.
[to Doris after Doris tells the class about Grace's fall in ballet class] DORIS...!?
[Grace --before sobbing-- glares at Doris.]
[before sobbing] YOU ARE A BLABBER-MOUTH!
[Everyone else gasps and look on as Grace begins to cry.]
DorisWELL, YOU ARE A...!
[Grace bitterly sobs and hot tears roll down her cheeks. She bitterly bursts into tears, by which everyone won't be swayed anymore.]
Doris[looks at Grace bitterly sobbing] YOU ARE A CRY BABY!
[Grace turns away.]
[sniffs and sobs bitterly] I AM NOT GOING TO SIT WITH A BLABBERMOUTH!
DorisWELL, I AM NOT GOING TO SIT WITH A CRY BABY!
[Grace turns back and --holding back tears-- yells at Doris. And she says...!]
[angrily and in between tears] AND I AM NOT (EVER AGAIN) GOING TO DANCE WITH YOU, EITHER!
Doris[shouts back] GOOD!
[Grace tearfully walks away --and resumes sobbing.]
DorisWell, this isn't any fun. [to Grace] Grace, can you hear me?
What is it, Doris? (What do you want from me?)
DorisI don't really like it when we're mad at each other.
[off-screen] Well, [on-screen] I don't like being called a cry-baby. A big one.
DorisBut you called me a blabber mouth!
You told everyone I fell and they laughed at me. [closes her eyes] I was so embarrassed.
DorisBut, Grace, you just slipped (yesterday).
It's still not funny... Isn't it?
Doris[crawls towards Grace] I'm sorry I told everybody what had happened (yesterday), Grace. I didn't mean to embarrass you. (It was just an accident.) I like being your friend.
And, Doris, I'm sorry I was so cross. I like being your friend too, Doris.
DorisDo you want to dance?
Well, I'll have to think about it. [thinks for a second] All right, but don't step on my toes!
DorisOkay!
[Doris and Grace danced together and then they both jump. Doris and Grace then begin to laugh as the camera zooms out of the dance recital. Then the scene fades to black as the episode ends]
