Quotes 

• Bobby : [Sees Little Bill draw on April's door]  Ooohh, you're in trouble.

  April : [Opens door]  Who's in trouble?

  [Angrily] 

  April : LITTLE BILL! Mom! Mom!

  Brenda : Alright, alright, what's going on?

  Bobby : Look!

  Brenda : Little Bill? What happened?

  Little Bill : I don't know.

  Brenda : Well, who drew on April's door?

  Bobby : It wasn't me.

  April : Well I didn't!

  Brenda : Little Bill, do you want to tell me what happened?

  Little Bill : [Lying]  Elephant did it.

  Brenda : Is that really what happened?

  Little Bill : I don't know.

  April : Little Bill.

  Little Bill : I don't know! LEAVE ME ALONE!

  Brenda : Little Bill, I want you to go to your room. I'll be there in a minute and we can talk about this.

• Brenda : What's wrong, Little Bill?

  Little Bill : Mama, please can I go outside and play? Pleaaaaaase?

  Brenda : I'm sorry baby, you need to rest your arm.

  Little Bill : But I wanna ride my bike with Bobby.

  Brenda : I don't think so, honey. Why don't you color?

  Little Bill : How come I can't ride my bike and Bobby can?

  Brenda : Bobby doesn't have his arm in a cast. You do.

  Little Bill : It's not fair. I can't do anything I want to do!

  Brenda : Why don't you color?

  Little Bill : I don't wanna color.

  Brenda : Well, we have all kinds of fun toys to play with.

  Little Bill : I don't wanna play with my toys.

  Little Bill : [Looks out the window and sees Bobby ride his bike and his friends playing, then walks to Brenda]  When can I take this cast off?

  Brenda : When your arm is all better, honey.

  Little Bill : I want it to be better now. I wanna go outside. I wanna play with my friends.

  Brenda : Baby, until your arm gets better, you have to stay inside and do quiet things, alright?

  Little Bill : Ok, mama.

  [Walking to the hallway] 

  Bobby : [Comes in the door with a flat wheel]  Hey, Little Bill.

  Little Bill : Hey.

  Bobby : What's wrong?

  Little Bill : I can't go outside.

  Bobby : [Stunned]  That's too bad.

  Little Bill : I wanna ride my bike with you.

  Bobby : What if you fell and hurt your arm again?

  Little Bill : I won't fall. I'm a great bike rider.

  Bobby : Yeah, but you still have to be careful.

  Little Bill : What happened to the rest of your bike?

  Bobby : I left it outside.

  Little Bill : Why?

  Bobby : Because I got a flat tire.

  Little Bill : You can't ride anymore? You wanna play a game with me?

  Bobby : I can still ride, Little Bill. I just have to put air in my tire, put the tire back on the bike, and zoom, it's off.

  Little Bill : Can I help put the pump on your tire, Bobby? I'm a good tire pumper. Whoosh, whoosh, whooshhhhhhh.

  Bobby : You can't pump air in a tire with only one arm, Little Bill.

  Little Bill : Whoooooshhhhhhh...... why not?

  Bobby : You have to be careful, so that you can't hurt your arm while it's healing.

  Little Bill : I know.

  Bobby : Don't worry. Your arm will be better soon. And I'll get another flat tire, and you can pump air in it all you want.

  [Little Bill sighs] 

  Bobby : See ya.
