What happened to your ankle, Grace?
I hurt it.
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]
