Franklin Turtle

[first lines]
["Franklin and His Night Friend"]
Narrator: Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He could swim and ride a bike and do many things really well. But one day, Franklin learned that the thing he could do best was just be himself.
Franklin Turtle: Wow, look at all those stars, dad. There must be a zillion of them.
Mr. Turtle: Maybe we should count them to find out.

Bear: What happened to your bat costume?
Franklin Turtle: I put it away.
Bear: How come? I thought you wanted to be a bat.
Franklin Turtle: The only "bat" thing I can do is hang upside-down and that gives me a headache.
Bear: Why do you want to be like Bat anyway? You're already good at being Franklin.

["Franklin and His Night Friend"]
Franklin Turtle: I want you to come and meet some of my friends.
Bat: Okay. Can I bring some of my friends too?
Franklin Turtle: That sounds great. We'll play some games and stuff. See you tonight, Bat.
[He starts to ride off on his bike]
Bat: Franklin, wait! Before I go back to sleep, could you take me for a ride on your wheel thing?
Franklin Turtle: [giggles] On my bike? Sure. Hang on.
Bat: Wow. This is great.
Franklin Turtle: Yeah. It is, isn't it?

Beaver: Bear! That's Henry's cage.
Bear: Huh? Oh yeah.
Mrs. Bear: We'd better make a trip to the pet shop and buy your hamster his own home.
Bear: Do you want to come too?
Franklin Turtle: Sure.
Beaver: Okay. I'll go get my wagon to help carry the food and supplies.
Franklin Turtle: So what are you going to call him, Bear?
Bear: Henry.
[Beacver shoots him an annoyed look]
Bear: Ehh... Henry II.
