[0:07]Hey, it's Franklin, coming over to play. Growing a little every day.
[0:27]Here he comes with all his friends.
[0:31]They've got stories, got time to spend with you.
[0:40]Hey, it's Franklin.
[0:45]Coming in your house.
[0:50]Hey, it's Franklin.
[0:55]Coming to my house.
[0:58]Hey, it's Franklin.
[1:09]Franklin Plays the Game.
[1:14]Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes.
[1:20]He could button buttons and zip zippers. But he couldn't kick a soccer ball straight, and that was a problem. Because Franklin wanted to be the best player on his team.
[1:39]Morning. Good morning, Franklin. Excited about today's game? Yeah, I suppose. Well, you certainly don't sound like it. It's just that it's not much fun. We haven't won one game. Maybe today will be different. Never know what a good breakfast will do for you. Yeah, Dad, maybe. You want flies with that? Yes, please.
[2:15]I can count by twos and tie my shoes. Zip zippers and Oops.
[2:26]Hey!
[2:33]Oh, I can't kick a soccer ball straight no matter how hard I try. Come on, Franklin. Bear's team's going to be here before we even get a chance to warm up. Okay, right to me this time.
[2:51]It's okay, I got it. I got it. I'm foul. Are you calling me a foul, beaver? No, not foul like a bird, goose, and not foul like stinky. The play is foul. It means it's against the rules. Yeah, silly. You can only touch the ball with your feet unless you're the goalkeeper. I thought everybody knew that. I knew that. But I keep forgetting. That's okay, goose. Just remember the most important thing. Yes, beaver. Always give the ball to me.
[3:32]Today is the day I'm going to score a goal. Uh-oh, here it comes. Whoa! Oh.
[3:45]What's that about scoring a goal, beaver? Well, I could score a goal if my tail didn't always get in the way. It is pretty big. No wonder we haven't won a game all season. With my kicking, Goose's wings, your tail, and my big feet. Hi, guys. Hey, rabbit. Sorry I'm late. So, think we might win our game today? Win a game, rabbit. We haven't even scored all season. Well, today's the day I changed that. No, me. No, me, beaver. No, me, Franklin. Um, I'd like to try. All right, players in position. And remember, let's have some fun out there. Yes, coach.
[4:41]Go, bear. Go, Franklin. Go, Franklin. Go, bear. This way, my favorite team can't lose.
[4:52]Go, bear, go.
[4:57]Not again.
[5:03]Mine, mine. Oh. Don't worry, I got it.
[5:11]Foul. Free kick for Bear's team. Aw, goose. Sorry. If only I had kicked straighter. I would have scored for sure. As if. Go, bear, go.
[5:47]Aw. Franklin's team, zero. Nice try, guys. If it was such a nice try, why are we losing? Go, bear, go.
[6:06]I got it. No, mine. No, me. Me. Mine. Me.
[6:17]Come on, guys. You have to work together as a team. We're all trying to score a goal. Yes, but only one of you can score at a time. We can still win. You'll see.
[6:38]Oh, no.
[6:47]Oh, no.
[7:03]Oh. Oh.
[7:07]Oh.
[7:12]Bear's team, 10. Franklin's team, zero. Game over. Good game, Skunk.
[7:22]Nice one. Cheer up, Franklin. Your team played a great game. Your best one yet. Really? Really? I bet next game you'll actually score a goal. Sure, but scoring goals doesn't matter all that much. No. Okay, maybe it matters a lot, but so does having fun. Yeah, you're right, Bear. Head's up. I got it. Wow, nice save, Goose. Really? Thanks, Franklin. Are you okay, Franklin? I'm sure Fox didn't mean it. Yeah, sorry, Franklin. But that was a pretty good header. Thanks, Bear. Oh, sure. Great saves, great headers. Now that the game's over. Great saves, great headers. That's it. What's it, Franklin? You'll see next game, Bear. Come on, team, we've got a lot of work to do.
[8:40]Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Hello, Bear. You guys have been out here every day for almost a week. What are you doing? Having fun. Well, it looks like you're getting wet to me. The only thing that gets me outdoors on a day like today is berry season. So long, guys. Bye, Bear. See you at the game tomorrow. Sorry, I'm late. Ready to practice? Yay, team.
[9:30]Ready. Hey, what are you doing? Using our heads and our tails, and our wings, not to mention our big feet. You asked. Go, Bear. Go, Franklin. Go, Franklin. Go, Bear. Whoa. Oh.
[10:25]Yay. Yay. Yay. Franklin's team scores. Go, Franklin. Go, Bear. Go, team. Yay.
[10:40]Yay.
[10:48]Hi, Mom. Why, this looks like a winning team. Nope, we lost, but they only beat us by one. We got a goal. Yeah, just one, but we all helped to score it. Well, this calls for a celebration.
[11:08]Coach gave us these ribbons because we worked hard as a team. That must have been quite a game. Yeah, it was fun. Yay, team. Please, no more cheering. At least not until the next game. Oh, poor Snail. You're snail. Have some ice cream. Hey, that's my ice cream. Beaver.
[11:47]Franklin Wants a Pet. Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He could button buttons and zip zippers. He even had a best friend named Bear. But Franklin wanted something else. Okay, now sit. Sit, Sam.
[12:08]That's a good boy. Roll over. Come on, Sam, roll over. Okay, now speak, Sam. Speak. Sam? Was that you?
[12:22]Huh?
[12:25]Hello, puppy. Hello, there. I always wanted a real pet. I guess I thought maybe I got my wish.
[12:40]I still love you, Sam, but a real pet. All right, Franklin. Now all we need for our picnic is a dessert.
[13:05]It's going to be a delicious picnic, Sam. But don't worry. I know you don't like desserts, so I'll eat yours for you. Look, Sam. Beaver's bringing you some nice yummy biscuits. Now that's what you like. Hey, guys. Hi, Franklin. Can't stop for long. Yeah, there's a new puppy in the pet shop, and we've got a big box of biscuits for him. But I thought it was for Sam. Franklin, Sam's not a real pet. Come on, guys. Bye, Franklin. Bye. All set now, Franklin. We don't want to keep your mother waiting. Come along. Now no sneaking any nibbles. Dad. Dad, Dad. Remember what I asked you and Mom a long time ago when I was little? And you said I was too little? So now I want to ask you again. Can I have a pet? We'll think about it, Franklin.
[14:43]If I had a pet, it would be a bird. I'd love a bird. They make great pets because they sing such beautiful songs.
[15:02]A bird. A bird is nice, Bear, but birds can sing really loud.
[15:17]And and they sing so early in the morning.
[16:59]Hmm. If I had a pet, I would want a pony, because you can ride ponies around. A pony. Kitty up, pony. Come on, kitty up. Whoa. Hey, wait. Come back. Ponies are nice, Otter, but they can run too fast. Hey. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
[17:41]Finished thinking yet? Not quite, Franklin.
[17:47]You see, we need to know if you could take care of a pet. I take care of Sam every day. Eat up, Franklin. Your father and I will talk about it later. Well, at least talking's better than thinking. We'll see about it, Franklin.
[18:23]I guess if talking's better than thinking, then seeing about it is better than talking. So, are you going to get a pet? My parents said they'd see about it. Oh, that doesn't sound too good, Franklin. Maybe not, but it's okay, Snail, because I still don't know what kind of pet to get. Oh, if I could pick a pet, I'd pick an elephant. Huh? They're great, and wrinkly, and big. An elephant. Time for your walk, elephant.
[19:03]Whoa. Hey, wait. Whoa. Whoa. Elephant.
[19:15]Elephants are nice, Snail, but they're too big to take for walks.
[20:13]Dinosaurs are nice, Goose, but they're awfully hard to feed. It's a good idea, but now I know what kind of pet I do want.
[20:25]Mom, Dad. I need to talk to you. This sounds serious. You've been thinking and talking and seeing for two whole days. Well, I've been thinking too. And I think I've been taking care of Sam for a long, long time. And I'll take good care of a real pet too. I'll love it and feed it and clean its house. And I'll take it to the vet if it gets sick. So, may I please have a pet? Please? It sounds like you have been doing a lot of thinking. Okay. You can have a pet. Yippy.
[21:09]Franklin. Where are you going? To the pet shop. It's a little late, Franklin. The pet shop's closed. We'll go first thing in the morning. Then you can pick the very best puppy. Oh, but I don't want a puppy. Sam and I have talked it over. Oh, then a kitten? Not a puppy. Not a kitten, and not a bird either. Then what kind of pet do you want?
[21:48]Meet my new pet, Goldie. Ooh. Wow. Look, Sam, Goldie is so gold and silver and every color all at once. Watching her swim around makes me feel kind of all nice inside. You see, Sam, Goldie is your friend too.
