Claude didn't let me do anything, Mom. Not anything. I don't care if our space shuttle wins the special prize. It's no fun being partners with Claude. Isn't it?
Oh. I'm so sorry, honey.

[During "In the Spotlight"]
I'm a little seed beginning to grow. I'm a little seed growing up through the dirt. I'm a little seed bursting into a...
Flower! The seed grew into a flower!
Yes, Doris! April showers bring May flowers and that's what I know about springtime. [the class applauds]
Thank you for a wonderful In the Spotlight, Lilly.
You're welcome, Mrs. Jenkins.
I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely as a tree.
F1Frank #1
Let's build a birdhouse!
F2Frank #2
Out of ice cream sticks!
F1Frank #1
Will we have to eat a lot of ice cream?
F2Frank #2
Only if we make a big one.
F1Frank #1 and Frank #2
Okay, let's build a big one! [begin to giggle]
Frank and Frank, I have just the thing to help.
F1Frank #1
Maybe Mrs. J. has some ice cream for us!
F2Frank #2
Yeah!
[brings a jar full of ice cream sticks] I enjoy ice cream too, from time to time.
F1Frank #1
Huh?
Here you go, boys.
F1Frank #1
[without enthusiasm] Gee, thanks, Mrs. Jenkins.
F2Frank #2
Yeah, thanks a lot. That's really swell.
YYoko
[after Timothy's kite gets stuck in a tree] Oh, no.
That's okay. Maybe someday, my kite will get stuck in your cherry blossom tree.
YYoko
You really think so?
Yep, I think it will, Yoko.
I'm a majorette, Mrs. Jenkins.
You look wonderful, dear. [to Claude] Are you a prince, Claude?
I'm a king.
Of course you are. [to the Franks] And you are?
F1Frank #1 and Frank #2
Football players.
[The Franks run away from Mrs. Jenkins]
YYoko
What happened to your ankle, Grace?
I hurt it.
F1Frank #1
Did you fall off a tree?
No, I hurt it, dancing. (And I fell and sprained it.)
Maybe it will get better before the show.
[Even though Nora thinks that Grace's sprained ankle may heal before the show, Grace says it won't. Then she breaks down because she cannot be in the show after breaking her ankle even though the talent show is on tonight. What she means by that is that it is on and she's not going due to her broken ankle.]
[sobs] No, it's not. I can't be in the show.
[Tears --which everyone will not be swayed by anymore-- roll down Grace's cheeks.]
I'm so sorry, Grace.
[in between tears] (I know.) But I practiced and practiced, Mrs. Jenkins. Now I can't dance. I can't even do anything.
[Two more tears roll down Grace's cheeks and she --Grace-- resumes crying.]
We can think of something.
You can watch.
[stops crying and hears a plan or suggestion from Doris] I don't want to just watch.
[to Grace] Can you pull a curtain, Grace?
Of course, I can pull a curtain.
Well, then, you can help me.
[looking at Timothy] Okay. [smiles]
[Grace as a result is able to be in the talent show after all. But she's not able to do her talent. Instead, she's being Timothy's assistant]
[In the talent show]
[when Grace had to miss out with doing her talent in the Talent Show after breaking her ankle] It is such a shame about Grace's ankle. Isn't it?
GSGrace's Mom
[sitting next to Timothy's mom] She was so looking forward to the show.
I know lots of dinosaurs, but I think T-Rex is the best. He's the king of all dinosaurs.
Diplodocus was like a submarine. He can stay underwater forever because he had a nose on top of his head.
I like Pterodactyl. She can fly, and she sleeps hanging upside down.
F1Frank #1
I like Stegosaurus.
F2Frank #2
Yeah, he had the brain of a meatball.
[The Franks begin to laugh]
YYoko
Brachiosaurus had a really stretchy, long neck to reach the highest trees. Which dinosaur do you like best, Nora?
Umm... well... I... uh...
Nora is frightened of dinosaurs.
F1Frank #1
Frightened?
F2Frank #2
Of dinosaurs?
YYoko
Yes, and she needs our help.
I'm frightened of spiders. Will that help?
Spiders can't hurt you, Doris.
And neither can dinosaurs. They died a long time ago.
[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!
[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...!]
[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...!]
[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...!]
Where is Nora?
[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.]
Here she is.
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.]
[Timothy takes Nora to the Megazostrodon]
Nora, Meet Megazostrodon.
[gasps and covers her eyes] That sounds big and scary. [opens her right eye] That's it? He's so little.
Just like you.
I'm bigger than him. He's not scary at all.
[laughs] That's what Yoko thought to, when she found his picture in the book.
Hi, Megazostrodon. [laughs]
Wanna go meet some other dinosaurs?
Okay.
[Timothy takes Nora to the next dinosaur as the camera zooms in to the Megazostrodon]
[Nora explains about her day to her family --about her field trip to the Science Museum.]
You're right. And then we saw Tyrannosaurus Rex. He is as tall as our house.
[Nora becomes excited to go to the dinosaur museum again --this time wanting to see the dinosaurs with her family too.]
[to her father] May we see the dinosaurs again? Please, Dad? My favorite is Megazostrodon.
Taking care of a pet is a big responsibility. I suggest we each take turns caring for Goldie.
F1Frank #1
You mean like walking it?
F2Frank #2
Yeah, and giving it a bath?
Um, It's a fish.
F2Frank #2
All right, no bath.
[Frank #1 and Frank #2 laugh and Claude stares at them in disbelief. Goldie is in her fish tank and looks at Lilly]
All right, Who wants to go first?
Oh, oh! I do! I do!
I will.
Lilly and Claude both want to go first. I suggest we take a vote.
It should be Claude, Lilly's forgetful. She wouldn't remember to feed him.
[Lilly frown is upside down]
Hey, Claude, you want to play ball?
I would, but I have more important things to do, Timothy. I'm taking care of Goldie.
