[The episode's first half introduces Ms. Appleberry --Mrs. Jenkins's student teacher.]
Children? Say hello to our new student teacher. Her name is Ms. Appleberry.
[Ms. Appleberry says a big, long, "GOOD MORNING" --completed with her face shaking with her hands on her hips.]
AMs. Appleberry
GOOD MORNING, BOYS AND GIRLS!
[The class responds back saying "Good morning" to Ms. Appleberry --also in a big, long, "GOOD MORNING".]
AAll
GOOD MORNING, MS. APPLEBERRY!
[Indeed the class's student teacher --Ms. Appleberry-- is here to help out.]
[After the class --on the bus-- arrives at the science museum, Mrs. Jenkins and Ms. Appleberry get off the bus. Mrs. Jenkins gets off first, then, Ms. Appleberry comes off next to her. Next, she --Ms. Appleberry-- counts students off the bus as they --one by one-- get off the bus.]
We are here, children. Quick sticks!
AMs. Appleberry
[counting] One, two, three, four...!
[When Ms. Appleberry says this, she counts Grace as number 1, Doris as number 2, Yoko as number 3, and Timothy as number 4. As the "count" pauses, Timothy --before getting off-- becomes excited.]
Oh boy! [gets off the bus] We are going to the museum. I cannot wait to go inside.
[It is revealed that Timothy's buddy/partner/teammate was Nora. In other words, "He was paired with Nora".]
[to the rest of the class] Everybody, find your buddy.
[As Timothy races to the museum's double front doors --still thinking Nora is with him-- the scene cuts to Ms. Appleberry. And she continues counting. The students --one by one during the count-- get off the bus. And now, Ms. Appleberry is at numbers 9 and 10. That is, as she says...!]
AMs. Appleberry
[resumes counting --and makes it up to ten] (Five, six, seven, eight), nine, ten...! (Ten? Only ten?)
[Someone is missing even though Nora was supposed to be number 11. That is, as Mrs. Appleberry says...!]
AMs. Appleberry
[gasps and puts her palm to her nose in confusion] Oh, my! We are one short! Someone is missing! (It must be Nora! Where did she go?!)
[The scene cuts to Timothy. Remembering that he --Timothy-- had Nora as his buddy, he --Timothy-- says...!]
[At first, Timothy thinks that still he has Nora. But since she's scared and won't go in, he realizes that she isn't there.]
I really want to go, Timothy. But I am scared.
Timothy? Nora? Is everything okay?
It is okay, Mrs. J. If Nora wants to stay on the bus with Henry, I should stay too.
But, Timothy, you love dinosaurs. You must go.
I am not going if you are not going.
[Everyone gasps if Nora is not going]
[changes her mind and decides to go] All right. But if you, Timothy, promise to hold my hand.
[Timothy scoops up Nora, cradles her, hugs her, and carries her.]
[off-screen] Okay, everyone, [on-screen] who can tell me what we call Monday in Summer time?
[The kids, who were wearing their swimsuits --except Claude-- raise their hands up]
[off-screen] That's right. [on-screen] Swim Day is when we stop at Hilltop Park for a swim. [points to her student teacher Ms. Appleberry, who is in her swimsuit] And look who's here to help out.
EEveryone
[greets Ms. Appleberry the student teacher who is going to be part of the Swim Day field trip] MS. APPLEBERRY!
[Ms. Appleberry responds and greets back the children. She responds in a big, long, "GOOD MORNING".]
AMs. Appleberry
GOOD MORNING, BOYS AND GIRLS!
[This phrase --said by Ms. Appleberry-- was heard again, reused, and said a second time from a previous Season 1 episode --that being the episode "On the Fritz".)
[Before finding out that Ms. Appleberry is the substitute for Mrs. Jenkins.]
[wants to know why Ms. Appleberry who is Mrs. Jenkins's student teacher is here] Are we going to the (Science) Museum?
[Yoko has mentioned the science museum which references the "Scary Monsters" episode, the first half of the eighth episode of Season 1 and the TV series "Scary Monsters / Lifesaver Lilly".]
[Ms. Appleberry tells Doris about what really is happening today. But it's not a field trip to the museum nor Game Day. That is, even though Yoko thinks it is a field trip to the Science Museum while Doris thinks it is "Game Day". See in quote.]
AMs. Appleberry
[to Yoko and Doris] It's none of those things.
[She turns to the class about the real answer about why she is here.]
AMs. Appleberry
(I'm Ms. Appleberry.) I'm your substitute teacher today.
[Cut to Timothy and Yoko near the front doors. Timothy and Yoko are shocked to hear that. Then the scene cuts back to Ms. Appleberry.]
AMs. Appleberry
[to the class] Come on inside and I can explain.
[The Franks are trying to drink water from the faucet instead of using paper cups]
F1Frank #1
[whispering] You do it.
F2Frank #2
[whispering] No, you do it.
[Ms. Appleberry catches the Franks from trying to drink water from the faucet rather than paper cups.]
AMs. Appleberry
Paper cups, please, Frank and Frank.
F1Frank #1 and Frank #2
Huh?
[Frank #1 turns off the water faucet.]
F2Frank #2
But...! Mrs. Jenkins lets us!
F1Frank #1
Yeah. She does.
AMs. Appleberry
(Really?) I do not think so. (That is, unless we can work something out with you guys.)
[Ms. Appleberry whips out a letter and reveals it. It's a letter from Mrs. Jenkins to the Franks. She reads it even though Frank #1 and Frank #2 say that Mrs. Jenkins lets them drink water from the faucet. Ms. Appleberry --after revealing the letter-- reads the letter out loud to the Franks. Then the Franks hear it read by Ms. Appleberry.]
AMs. Appleberry
[reading the letter] Dear Frank and Frank,
Please listen to Ms. Appleberry (properly) while I am away.
And no drinking from the faucet.
(So you must be careful.)
(That is, or I have Ms. Appleberry subjected to put you in after school detention --for a week-- if not.)
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jenkins
F2Frank #2
[about Ms. Appleberry] She's magic.
[It begins to rain]
[after everyone else is on the bus] Well, boys and girls, I am afraid this rain isn't going to let up. We are going to have to say "Goodbye" to Hilltop Park for tonight. (Until next year, actually. So no more Hilltop Park until next year.)
[Everyone groans when they hear that this year's day at Hilltop Park is cancelled due to the rain which causes their "Hilltop Park" day to be washed out. They let out a big, long, groan. That is, as they say...!]
EEveryone
[groaning] (BACK TO SCHOOL?! AND NO MORE HILLTOP PARK?!) AWE!
I hope everyone had a wonderful time.
AMs. Appleberry
[this is her only line and it's about the rainy day] (I know it does bite that we didn't stay the full hour and need to leave early.)
[Then the bus starts moving and on the way back to school.]
AMs. Appleberry
[to Mrs. Jenkins] (Yeah. I heard the weather report on the radio and newspaper. And the forecast, they did not say this. They said it was sunny all day. But today, it was rainy this afternoon. That is why the rest of it is washed out! I think the weather forecast is the one to blame.)
[also about the weather report] (I agree.)
