What's it like to be big?
But you're the biggest in the class.
There are a lot of other times when I'm the smallest.
Like all the time at home. I'm the smallest in my family.
Really? You're the smallest?
Uh-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.
Thanks, Charles! [to Claude's figure] What do you think about that, Mr. Big Shot?!
[Charles and Doris giggle]
Do you want to come play at my house after school?
[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".]
DMDoris' Mom
Your big brothers can learn a thing or two from your little friend, Doris.
Charles 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.]
[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.]
[That night at Yoko's house]
YSYoko's Mom
Yoko, I thought a glass of milk might help you go to sleep.
Thanks, but I'm not very thirsty. I wish I never took the Netsuke family to school, Mama.
YSYoko's Mom
I know, but someone will find them tomorrow.
But we looked everywhere today! Mama, do you think someone took them?
If they did, I hope they bring them back.
YSYoko's Mom
I do too. [kisses Yoko]
YSYoko's Mom
Goodnight, my Little Cherry Blossom.
[Yoko's Mom turns off the light and leaves off-screen]
[still thinks someone might find them and bring them back] I hope someone finds them.
[When Grace takes a fall in ballet class]
[notices her "injury" after falling] Oh my goodness! Oh...!
[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!
How 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.]
Maybe you hit a slippery spot, Grace. That is all.
Yes, I think you're right.
You're still the best dancer I've ever seen.
[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.]
[Grace bitterly sobs and hot tears roll down her cheeks. She bitterly bursts into tears, by which everyone won't be swayed anymore.]
[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!
WELL, 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!
[Grace tearfully walks away --and resumes sobbing.]
Well, this isn't any fun. [to Grace] Grace, can you hear me?
What is it, Doris? (What do you want from me?)
I 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.
But you called me a blabber mouth!
You told everyone I fell and they laughed at me. [closes her eyes] I was so embarrassed.
But, Grace, you just slipped (yesterday).
It's still not funny... Isn't it?
[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.
Well, I'll have to think about it. [thinks for a second] All right, but don't step on my toes!
[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]
F2Frank #2
We should trade all of our (chocolate chip) cookies for butterscotch pudding.
[To trade desserts, Timothy got Fritz's chocolate cake, while Fritz got Timothy's apple crisp. But Nora does not want to trade. Unlike Timothy and Fritz, she does not want to switch. And at this she does not want to trade her pudding for cookies brought from the Franks, apple crisp by Timothy, nor chocolate cake by Fritz. Nora is unaware that she has grabbed Jack's baby food.]
[to the Franks] (Nah!) I am not trading my pudding for anything.
[Nora --still unaware that she has Jack's baby food-- she spoons into her "butterscotch pudding" and takes one bite of it. She is still unaware that she has Jack's baby food, until she takes a bite out of it after thinking it was her "pudding". After one bite, she sticks out her tongue in disgust.]
It doesn't taste like butterscotch!
[Nora --after saying this-- smacks her lips.]
[Nora spits afterwards. That is, as Nora continues of what she just ate --and thought it was her "pudding". She finishes spitting and then says...!]
[continues --and after she finishes spitting] AND IT DOES NOT EVEN TASTE LIKE PUDDING!
[That is, after Nora's reaction when she took a bite from her "pudding", realized that her "pudding" was not really pudding, and smacked her lips from the baby food taste.]
It doesn't look like pudding either.
[Nora's "pudding" is not really pudding. When she smells it, it smells like baby food. It's really her baby brother Jack's baby food though she had thought it was pudding. And therefore, she realizes that she grabbed Jack's baby food by accident rather than her pudding. When she smells it, it is Jack's baby food. After smelling it, she pinches up her nose from the baby food smell in disgust.]
[through pinched-up nose] UGH!
[Nora tells Timothy, Fritz, and the Franks it is not pudding but what it really is]
[It is really her baby brother Jack's baby food. It is not pudding. At this, Nora for the second time at school has mentioned her baby brother Jack after grabbing his baby food instead of her pudding by accident. She did not know she had Jack's baby food when she tried to grab her pudding that morning.]
[Frank #2 is disgusted about Nora bringing baby food, he declines to trade or share any of his cookies with someone who would ever bring baby food.]
F2Frank #2
[to Frank #1] I AM NOT TRADING ANY OF MY COOKIES FOR BABY FOOD!
[Frank #2 pushes back his cookies in disgust.]
F1Frank #1
[agrees with Frank #2 and declines about trading or sharing any of his] NEITHER AM I!
[Frank #1 also pushes back his cookies in disgust. After seeing that Nora almost got sick from eating Jack's baby food --which she had accidentally got after mistaking it for her butterscotch pudding-- the reason why they both decline sharing/trading any of their cookies for baby food is because they do not want to be sick. That is, despite seeing that Nora almost got sick from eating Jack's baby food. Nora --after lunch-- then --from offscreen-- washes down the baby food taste with a glass of water.]
I'm not drawing him on my poster.
I'm tired of having a little brother. He's always crying or making a mess or breaking things. Isn't he?
[At this, Nora has mentioned Jack for the third time.]
[wishing he had a brother or sister] I think it would be fun to have a little brother (or sister).
That's because you don't have one.
[Ruby --from offscreen-- sees Samantha --Timothy's mom-- at the front door ready to pick up Timothy. Timothy is unaware that his mom is here. And in this scene, Samantha and Ruby --from offscreen-- approaches the kids Timothy and Nora. Timothy is still unaware until Ruby --Nora's mom-- says his mom --Samantha-- is here to pick him up. And after Ruby --from offscreen-- has met Timothy's mother --who is ready to pick up Timothy from Nora's house-- she tells him that his mom is here to pick him up. Ruby walks Samantha over to Timothy who is playing with Nora in Nora's living room. And then, Ruby --from offscreen-- says to Timothy...!]
[to Timothy] Your mom is here, Timothy.
