A

HARRY

Something. I wonder if we’ll have science class today…

A

HARRY

He eats up all the other little dinosaurs and stomps around like this. (HARRY acts like a T-Rex and uses his toy to show what a dinosaur acts like.) He has by far one of the biggest growls of the dinosaurs. (Lets out a big dinosaur growl.) He also likes to swoop up people named Sidney. (Maniacal laugh.)

Q

MISS MACKLE

On to the next exhibit, children! Make sure to stay with your partner.

Doug notices that HARRY is still standing by himself now.

DOUG

I thought you were partners with Song Lee.

A

HARRY

She’s with Mary and Ida. They’re gonna sit three to a seat on the way home.

37
Q

DOUG

I wouldn’t be your partner in a hundred years.

A

HARRY

I’ll wait.

38
Q

MISS MACKLE

Alright kids! It’s time for lunch!

A

HARRY

Doug, do you want to sit together.

39
Q

DOUG

No thanks, Harry, I’m going to sit with Sidney.

DOUG and SIDNEY sit together; Harry sits a few feet away. A bee lands on DOUG’s sandwich.

SIDNEY

A BEE!

A

DOUG is frozen in horror. HARRY grabs a cup and traps the bee and throws it away in the trash can.

40
Q

DOUG

Thanks, Harry! You saved my life!

A

HARRY

Some jerk is gonna get a big surprise when he opens this! (Grabs his sandwich.) Would you like half of my sardine sandwich, Doug?

41
Q

DOUG

Ew, no. I can’t eat sardines, they look too much like the fish in the aquarium.

A

HARRY looks at his sandwich with disgust. He goes to throw it away in the trash can when suddenly the bee gets out and chases HARRY until the bee stings him.

HARRY

Ow!

42
Q

MISS MACKLE

Oh no! Harry are you alright?

A

HARRY

I got stung by a bee!

43
Q

DOUG

Hey Harry, would you like my last chocolate chip cookie?

A

HARRY

Thanks pal. (He eats it all.) You don’t think I’m a jerk?

44
Q

MARY

Me too Miss Mackle!

A

HARRY

Hey Miss Mackle! Knock knock!

45
Q

DEXTER

(To Miss MACKLE) Give yourself a Padme on the back, like Queen Amidala!

A

HARRY

(Whispering to DOUG.) Nothing’s working! Maybe Miss Mackle just doesn’t like to laugh.

46
Q

DOUG

I could try a headstand, like clowns do.

A

HARRY

Okay, I’m going to think of a really good joke!

47
Q

MISS MACKLE

Please work on your own to write the sentences with the correct contractions. If you have a question raise your hand and I will come help you. This is a quiet individual work time, so please absolutely no talking.

A

HARRY

(He takes a moment to read the sentences and then grins.( I know how to make Miss Mackle laugh.

48
Q

MISS MACKLE

Oh boy, do I have one funny class! I think that we can be done with English for today. Can anyone show the class some of the funny things they can do?

A

HARRY begins telling jokes.

49
Q

MISS MACKLE

Okay class it’s time for lunch!

A

DOUG

…homemade fudge. (HARRY has taken out a box with the fudge in it and passed it out to the kids. He comes up and gives a piece to DOUG.)

50
Q

DOUG

Wow! That was a crazy game of dodgeball.

DEXTER

(Gasping.) I think I need my inhaler.

A

HARRY

Did you see when Sidney started to cry when he got out?! Haha!

51
Q

SIDNEY

It was Harry! He’s the fish monitor and he loves doing horrible things!

A

HARRY

I would never do anything that horrible! I would never take the life of a single living thing. I plan on being a great scientist some day!

52
Q

MISS MACKLE

We’ll talk about this after schoool.

The bell rings. MISS MACKLE dismmisses the students but calls SIDNEY over to her desk and begins to reprimand him. HARRY grabs his lunch box and goes to SONG LEE.

A

HARRY

Hey Song Lee. Would you like the last piece of my mom’s homemade fudge?

53
Q

SONG LEE

Yes please.

A

HARRY

Thanks for standing up for me.

54
Q

MISS MACKLE

Alright students put away your worksheets and get out a blank sheet of paper. (The students do so and MISS MACKLE grabs the pointer off her desk.( Now students, we are going to start to learn about the United States of America. For today, we are going to be focusing on the Midwest region. The Midwest is comprised of 12 states. They are Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan…

A

HARRY

(Overlapping MISS MACKLE. To DOUG.) Hey DOugh! I found this disgusting centipede at home, I’ll show it at recess.

55
Q

SIDNEY

(To HARRY) You know what you are Harry? One big fat canary!

A

HARRY

(Loudly) Well you know what you are Sidney…

56
Q

MISS MACKLE

Alright Harry, it looks like you will be spending your recess inside with me.

(Bells ring. HARRY sulks at his desk.)

MISS MACKLE

Now Harry do you know why you are in here?

A

HARRY

Because I was talking.

57
Q

MISS MACKLE

Yes because you were talking and not listening to what was going on in class. What should you do differently next time?

A

HARRY

Don’t talk and listen to what you are saying.

58
Q

MISS MACKLE

Good.

A

HARRY

Whatchya reading Miss Mackle?

59
Q

MISS MACKLE

It’s this new book I got. It’s filled with all sorts of different dinosaurs. It’s called “Terrible Tyrannosaurus Rex.” Would you like to take a look at it?

A

HARRY

Sure!

MISS MACKLE hands HARRY the book. HARRY opens the book immediately and a huge smile comes across his face.

(Pointing to the book) Oh look! A T-Rex! That’s my favorite!

60
Q

MISS MACKLE

Mine too! You know what, Harry? Let’s not waste this recess! Let’s have some fun.

A

HARRY gives MISS MACKLE a puzzled look. Beat. MISS MACKLE startes imitating a T-Rex and rampages the room. HARRY laughs and joins MISS MACKLE in her rampage (jumping on desks, running about the room, making dinosaur noises, and etc.

61
Q

MISS MACKLE

My that was fun! Hey, why don’t you get ready for science class. We can be dinosaurs another day.

HARRY starts walking away and MM picks up the book.

MM

Harry, would you like to borrow this book for a while?

A

HARRY

You mean it?! Really?

62
Q

MISS MACKLE

Of course! As long as I get it back in one piece.

A

HARRY

Gee thanks Miss Mackle. You’re the best teacher in the whole world!!!

63
Q

DOUG

Stub monologue.

A

HARRY

Psssst! Pssssssst! Doug, Doug!

64
Q

DOUG

What, Harry?

A

HARRY

Tomorrow. Tomorrow is the perfect day to release the evil of the stub people. It’s the day of Halloween, it will scare the wits out of everybody!

65
Q

DOUG Oh yeah, I’m ssss…ss…sure everyone will be super scared, but not me! I’m brave and strong, no stub people can bother me…

A

HARRY

Oh you just wait. You just wait.

66
Q

MISS MACKLE

If this snake is who I think it is, you’re ten minutes late to class.

A

HARRY

Sssssssssssss.

67
Q

MM

You’re ten minutes late, Harry.

A

HARRY

Snakes don’t move that quickly. It took me a long time to slither across the playground.

68
Q

DOUG

Dream

A

HARRY

ATTACK!!!

69
Q

DOUG

Harry, what’s going on?

A

HARRY

It is time for the stub people to release their evil onto Room 2B. Stub people, follow me!

70
Q

DOUG

Wakes up

A

HARRY

Are you alright?

71
Q

MISS MACKLE

Okay, Doug, you can be Squanto, Mary and Song Lee, you will be Pilgrims, Dexter and Ida will be Native Americans, Signey, you’ll be the turkey, and Harry—

A

HARRY

(Interrupting) I want to be the dead fish body!

72
Q

MM

You want to be a dead fish in our Thanksgiving play?

A

HARRY

(Beaming) It’s an important role. If it wasn’t for the dead fish, the Pilgrims wouldn’t have been able to fertilize the corn and if the corn wasn’t fertilized, the corn wouldn’t have grown and the Pilgrims would have starved and you wouldn’t have a play about them. So, I want to be a dead fish.

73
Q

MM

But that’s a horrible part to play… a dead fish!

A

HARRY

(Smiling.) I don’t mind.

74
Q

MM

Okay, Song Lee, you don’t have to say your line right now.

A

HARRY

Miss Mackle, can we practice the dead fish part?

75
Q

DOUG

Let us now join in feast!

HARRY lays on the floor.

MISS MACKLE

Harry, you wiggle forward when Squanto pulls you on the rope.

A

HARRY

(Looking at SONG LEE, who seems uncomfortable and sad to be doing the play.) I don’t feel like wiggling right now.

76
Q

MISS MACKLE

But you ave to wiggle a little so that Squanto and pull you in. You’re too heavy.

A

HARRY

(Grumbling.) I’ll wiggle a little. (Idea pops into HARRY’s head.) Miss Mackle, can I talk to you?

77
Q

MM

Song Lee is going to be a dead fish.

A

HARRY and SONG LEE smile at each other and lay on the ground.

78
Q

DOUG

The parents especially loved the dead fish. Song Lee and Harry got the loudest applause. You know, sometimes Harry’s ideas aren’t so horrible after all.

A

SONG LEE and HARRY come into focus.

HARRY

You were really great, Song Lee.

79
Q

SL

Thanks Harry, you too.

A

HARRY

(Handing a not to SL) This is for you.

80
Q

SL

What is it?

A

HARRY

It’s a note. But you have to wait until I leave to open it.

HARRY smiles and then exits.

81
Q

SIDNEY

Song Lee, you’re stupid! Everyone knows you can only do what SIMON SAYS!

A

HARRY

Sidney! That’s not very nice to say, Song Lee isn’t stupid! Apologize to her right now!

82
Q

SIDNEY

Why would I listen to you? You’re a canary! Harry’s a canary!

A

HARRY

You can call me a canary all you want, but you can’t call Song Lee stupid!

83
Q

SIDNEY

But… But!

A

HARRY

Don’t cry Song Lee, it’s okay, I’ll make Sidney apologize to you.

HARRY gives SIDNEY a look.

84
Q

SONG LEE

Thanks for apologizing. I forgive you.

A

HARRY

See Sidney? You don’t have to be mean all the time… Sometimes it feels good to do good things.

HARRY turns to DOUG and they do their handshake.

85
Q

SIDNEY and HARRY bump into each other.

A

HARRY offers his had for a handshake. SIDNEY hesitates but takes the peace offering. The two engage in a “how low can you go?” dance off.

86
Q

STUDENTS

A

Bye! Thanks for coming! We hope you enjoyed the show! Come back soon! etc.
