Timothy Goes to School · Season 1
Hey, Yoko, watch this!
[Timothy showed Yoko some of his tricks. He walks backwards, took a deep breath, runs to the pool, and jumps off the deep end. He swam in the water. He kicked and he paddled.]
Good jumping, Timothy!
Timothy is the best swimmer.
[Charles float on the water]
Hey, what are you doing here, Charles?
Watching clouds. It's fun.
Hey, that cloud looks like a cowboy hat.
[The cloud cowboy hat flies through the sky]
Wow. Apple pie, my favorite.
[The next cloud shows Henry's head]
[laughs] It's Henry.
I'm not good at swimming.
What? But you're good at everything.
Not swimming. I'm not good at it.
It's easy.
Easy for you. You're a good swimmer.
Thank you. I can teach you to kick and paddle.
Well, only if you don't tell anyone.
Okay, I'm good at secrets.
[At school, Mrs. Jenkins hangs up pictures]
These are all wonderful pictures, what fun we're going to have this summer.
[Mrs. Jenkins hangs up a picture of the Franks twins who are behind the garage. The camera moves to a picture of Claude swimming in the pool]
Look, Timothy, Claude's swimming. He must be taking lessons.
Yeah, he's pretty good. Although he doesn't even like getting his head wet.
Huh?
[The next morning, The bus arrives to Claude's house]
Hi, Claude, you coming swimming?
[Claude stops for a second then smiles]
I sure am.
[Claude runs to the bus. At the pool, Charles watches some clouds]
See anything?
Uh-huh. A big ship.
[The cloud ship flies through the sky]
Hey, Timothy, heads up!
[Claude closes his nose and dives into the water]
Told you he could swim. Claude's good at everything.
[Claude swim pasts Doris and Lilly]
Claude's the best swimmer!
[Claude swim past Timothy, Yoko and Charles]
Good swimming, Claude.
Hey, isn't that your trick, Timothy?
Uh... yeah.
[Yoko, Timothy and Charles get out of the pool]
You must have a very good teacher, Claude.
[Claude looks at Timothy]
The best. [Timothy stops walking] Here, Timothy, use my towel.
[Claude throws the towel to Timothy]
Thanks, Claude.
[Timothy dries himself with Claude's towel]
[Fritz rubs his head with a red balloon]
This is called static electricity. It will give you a little shock when you touch your partner's finger.
[Fritz touches Frank #1's finger]
Oh, oh!
[The Franks feel the floor. Frank #1 touches Frank #2's finger and everyone laughs at the Franks. Yoko makes an origami dog]
Wow!
How did everyone else do?
Look at mine, Yoko!
Oh, Nora. Your puppy is wonderful.
Thanks.
[The camera zooms in to Nora's blue origami dog. Grace in doing the pirouette]
This is called a pirouette. I'll do another one. Remember, on one foot.
Oh!
[off-screen] Now, you try.
[Frank #1 walks to Grace. He tries to do a pirouette but he spins too fast]
Ahh!
[Grace gasps when she sees Frank #1 crashes]
Hey, that was pretty good, Frank. wasn't it, Grace? Huh?
Uh... It's a start.
[Frank #2 smiles]
They're building a tree fort, for boys only!
Boys only?! [gasps] That's not fair!
Why would they do that?
It's not fair!
Mrs. Jenkins!
What is it, Doris?
The boys are building a tree fort, and they say it's for boys only.
Oh. Well, at Hilltop School, we let everyone play.
That's what I thought.
We can play without the boys. We'll start our own club.
A sandcastle club.
Just for girls.
Girls are smart, girls are fun. Hilltop Girls are number one!
We're the Boys of Hilltop School. We're the boys, and we rule!
[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".]
Is it Game Day?
[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.]
[to Yoko and Doris] It's none of those things.
[She turns to the class about the real answer about why she is here.]
(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.]
[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]
[whispering] You do it.
[whispering] No, you do it.
[Ms. Appleberry catches the Franks from trying to drink water from the faucet rather than paper cups.]
Paper cups, please, Frank and Frank.
Huh?
[Frank #1 turns off the water faucet.]
But...! Mrs. Jenkins lets us!
Yeah. She does.
(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.]
[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
Whoa!
[about Ms. Appleberry] She's magic.
Hey, what are you doing, Fritz?
I'm collecting worms for Mrs. Jenkins.
What?
Huh?
Ew!
What is Fritz doing? When you want someone to feel better, you make them a "get well soon" card. Not worms!
Maybe Fritz doesn't know that.
[The scene cuts from the school bus to Fritz's house. In Fritz's kitchen, Cleo --Fritz's mother-- is fixing Fritz an after-school snack.]
Hi, Mom.
Hello, dear. How was your day at school?
Okay. Well, Ms. Appleberry was our teacher today.
I know. I heard that Mrs. Jenkins hurt her arm.
Everyone made Mrs. Jenkins a "Get Well Soon" card. But I did not want to.
Fritz?
[Cleo puts Fritz on the kitchen counter. She used to put him --Fritz-- up on the kitchen or bathroom counters if he had a potentially tingly area on the section under his belly. And she'd kiss the stings to make it better. She used to do this to Fritz when he was 4 and under. But only when he hurt the section under his belly and waist. She --when Fritz was one year old-- even kissed his --Fritz's-- diaper rashes too. So at this she --Cleo-- reenacts an action of easing Flick's stings, like the time when he was one and she kissed his diaper rashes. That is, by putting Fritz up on the kitchen counter. Then, she continues her question and asks Fritz...!]
How do you feel about Mrs. Jenkins being away from school?
[Fritz --sitting on the counter-- he is playfully close up to his mother's face --smelling the "stinky smell" from her skunk nose-- while he is telling his mom about school. As for the "easing the stings" action, Cleo does not do this to Fritz nowadays because Fritz is going to be ages 5 to adult. So he should grow out of it. His mother made him grow out of it, beginning with the late single digits. That is, as late as age five. But this is one exception. That is, exclusively to tell his mom about school.]
[about Ms. Appleberry] Sometimes Ms. Appleberry is fun.
[But then, he regards with Mrs. Jenkins --who wasn't at school today.]
But I still miss Mrs. Jenkins.
Then, why didn't you want to make her a card?
[While Fritz smells his mother's nose --as he talking to her about school-- he doesn't mind the smell of her.]
I wanted to make her something different.
Oh, that is my Fritz.
[Cleo hugs Fritz.]
So, what is in the bag?
[Cleo goes up to Fritz's bag. She looks in the bag and it's filled with bugs, leftovers and worms which he tried to collect from school.]
Bugs, and leftovers, and worms? Oh, Fritz! She is going to love it!
[Cleo --offscreen-- kisses Fritz on the belly. For the remainder of the day --extending until night-- Fritz feels the smell --from his mother's nose-- scented into his. And he feels the smell --from her nose-- for the remainder for the day.]
Get well soon, Mrs. Jenkins.
What's this?
I made you something different.
[Fritz takes something out of the bag and it's a bird feeder; he had been planning to make a bird feeder all this time since the day before]
It's mostly bugs, leftovers and worms.
Thank you, Fritz. I love it!
What?! You do?
This is just the thing I need to make me feel better.
[happily knows that Fritz's "junk plan" which was made from leftovers, bugs, and worms was for making a bird feeder all this time since the day before] Oh! A bird feeder. Fritz made a bird feeder.
[Fritz happily smiles]
Now I can look at my birds along with my wonderful cards.
