I want to be a shutterbug.
All right, I'll go get the camera.
Really? I can use your camera?
As long as you handle it carefully.
Oh, I'll be really, really careful.

I'm learning how to be a shutterbug.
F1Frank #1
Uh, a shutterbug?
F2Frank #2
What kind of a bug is it?
[giggles] A shutterbug is somebody who likes to take pictures.
Mrs. Jenkins?
Yes, Timothy.
May I take a picture of the whole class for my photo album?
A class picture. That's a grand idea!
That's not the Friendship Stone.
I know. I've lost it, Nora.
What? You've lost the stone?
Sorry, I didn't mean to lose it.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because... I thought you wouldn't be my friend any more.
Lilly, you'll always be my friend.
Really? Thanks, Nora! You'll always be my friend, too.
Hey, Frank. Do you want to ride on the teeter-totter with me?
F1Frank #1
Me?
F2Frank #2
Or me?
[laughs] It doesn't matter. I only need one of you on the other end.
F1Frank #1
Umm, no, thanks, Claude.
F2Frank #2
We play together.
Frank and Frank, do you want to play with me?
Do you want to play with me?
F1Frank #1
Yeah, okay.
F2Frank #2
Yeah, let's play!
I don't know what I want to do when I grow up, Yoko.
YYoko
It might help if you think about all the things you like to do.
[giggles] You sound a lot like Mrs. J.
YYoko
I do?
Yeah, you know, like a teacher.
YYoko
Really? Thank you. I wonder what it would be like to be a teacher.
YYoko
Mrs. Jenkins?
Yes, Yoko.
YYoko
Why did you want to be a teacher?
Well, I love working with children.
YYoko
Uh huh?
And I like helping my students.
YYoko
Mrs. Jenkins, there are so many things I want to be when I grow up, but I can't decide on just one.
You don't have to. I know you will do well, whatever you choose to do.
YYoko
Thank you, Mrs. Jenkins.
[off-screen] Mrs. Jenkins?
Yes, Claude?
Since I'm the dentist, I should have a dentist drill. I'm going to bring in my dad's electric drill to use in the play. It goes, "(insert drill imitation noises here)!".
[Claude mimics a dentist drill buzzing. Mrs. Jenkins reminds Claude the first time about the safety/prohibition of power tools. That is, as she --Mrs. Jenkins-- says...!]
We can't have (nor allow) power tools in school. (They are not safe.) But it sounds like you can make drill noises all by yourself (if you are going to do that).
[As a result, power tools --real or toy-- are not allowed in school. So Claude isn't allowed to bring his father's power drill/electric drill or a toy drill if he has any toy tools. This is the first time he is told --by Mrs. Jenkins-- that the answer is "No" to power drills. The answer is "No", even if tools --brought to school-- are toys.]
[Claude still wants to use his father's drill for a dentist drill in the play]
Mrs. Jenkins? I still think that this would be way better with a real drill.
[Mrs. Jenkins reminds Claude the second time about the safety/prohibition of power tools. That is, as she says...!]
I am sorry, Claude. The answer is still "No". (Even if they are real or toy.)
[Claude reacts when Mrs. Jenkins has told him the second time that the answer is "No" --"No" to power drills. That is, even if power tools --in the school brought by children-- are real or toy.]
Being the dentist isn't any fun. I wish I were something else.
YYoko
You can be the cavity, Claude. I don't mind being the dentist!
Why would I want to be the cavity, Yoko? You're the bad guy!
[Yoko looks rather upset.]
YSYoko's Mom
Don't you like your costume, Yoko?
YYoko
No, I don't want to be a cavity. It's no fun, isn't it?
YSYoko's Mom
Perhaps you will think of something to make your part more fun?
YYoko
I guess so, Mama.
[Yoko is in her bedroom. She imagines what would happen if she switched with Claude --that being if Claude was the cavity and Yoko was the dentist.]
YYoko
[pretending to be the dentist] I am the dentist! [in deep voice --as if to sound like the dentist speaking] DON'T WORRY! I CAN FIX IT! IT IS AS EASY AS CAN BE!
[In the play, the Franks are the junk food. Frank #1 is a candy bar, while Frank #2 is a bag of cracker jacks.]
F1Frank #1
[as the role of the chocolate bar] THE TOOTHPASTE, TOOTHBRUSH, AND THE DENTAL FLOSS ARE NEVER GOING TO CATCH ME! I AM GOING TO BE HERE FOREVER AND MAKE A CAVITY!
[He gets off Yoko the tooth and creates a cavity.]
YYoko
[as the role of the cavity] (Ow!) I am a cavity from candy and from cake. If you do not see a dentist, I can cause a toothache.
[as the dentist] Let's have a look just to make sure that these teeth are healthy and strong.
[Claude --as the dentist-- he finds a cavity --and it is made by the Franks who are "the junk food".]
[as the dentist --and wants to know what the "mouth" is eating] OH NO! WHAT IS THIS!?
[Claude as the dentist find the Franks who are pretending to be junk food. Claude --as the dentist-- sees the cavity which is Yoko. Then he turns to the Franks who are the junk food items. They are a candy bar and a bag of cracker jacks respectively.]
F1Frank #1
[as one of the junk food items --that being the candy bar] A LUMPY, CRUNCHY, CANDY BAR! (AND FRANK #2 IS THE CRACKER JACKS!)
[Claude --as the dentist-- this is obviously not what he wanted to hear. He knows that the mouth has a cavity in one of its teeth.]
[to the Franks --who are the sweets/junk food] YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO BE HERE FOR LONG!
[Claude pretends to get them off the teeth and off the tooth with cavity. Because now --in the play-- the junk food items --that being the Franks who are the candy bar and cracker jacks-- have created a cavity. The cavity is Yoko. Claude "destroys" both the chocolate bar and cracker jacks --played by the Franks-- and makes the mouth cut down with the junk food.]
Good morning, Frank and Frank.
F1Frank #1
Good morning, Henry.
F2Frank #2
Hi, Henry.
[The Franks are trying to get inside the bus]
F1Frank #1
Me before you, me first.
F2Frank #2
No, me before you, me first.
[off-screen] Now, one at a time there, boys. [on-screen] Didn't you go first yesterday, Frank?
F2Frank #2
Uh-huh.
Then, it's your brother's turn today. [chuckles]
[Frank #2 lets his brother go in the bus first]
F1Frank #1
Me first! [giggling]
