- Hi Miss Talia Rose.

- Well, come on in.

- It's okay, sweetie.

- Go ahead.

- Take a seat right over there.

Go ahead.

Now class,

I'd like you to help me

say good morning to Miss Talia.

You ready?

[all]

Good morning, Talia.

Very nice, very nice.

Uh, Mrs. Rose, if there's

nothing else I can do for you,

I'd like to wish you a good day.

Oh, uh...

And one more thing, my class

starts promptly at 9:00 am,

and tardiness will

not be tolerated.

Yes, ma'am.

Bye.

[screams]

[groans]

Sold!

Who is gonna buy

this turd ranch?

[banging]

[groans]

We are reading

Charlotte's Web, Talia.

And, uh, well, Miss Sophia,

why don't you tell us a

little bit about what we know.

Well, the animals,

they all can talk.

That's right.

But animals can't really talk.

My cousin has a dog,

Tillie, who could talk.

- No way!

- Well, not talk, talk.

I mean, Tillie always knew

what you were saying, though.

Like if you ask her to play

ball she goes, "Bark, bark,"

and goes crazy.

That's not the same

thing as talking.

- Well, it kinda is.

- Well, what do you mean?

If a dog wags its tail,

it's probably happy.

Well, that's right. Animals

communicate with us all the time.

They tell us when

they're happy, or sad,

or serious, or angry.

Just like people.

That's very good.

You're a teacher's pet.

Me? I just got here.

I don't like teacher's pets.

Psst. That's Bertha.

She's a bully.

You know, these things

work a lot better

if you actually swing on them.

I don't feel like swinging.

Mm.

First day didn't go so hot?

[sighs]

I miss my old school.

Mm.

Beginnings are tough.

But you know, I think when you

meet that special somebody,

things are gonna

look a lot brighter.

- Maybe.

- Trust me.

Come on, come inside.

You can help me make dinner.

- Okay.

- Okay, see you in there.

Okay.

[leaves rustling]

- Well, hello, down there!

- Well, hello, up there!

Wait, what are you doing?

Hey!

Oh, this feels pretty good.

Talia, are you coming?

Coming, Mom!

Okay.

[pig squealing]

Okay, little piggy.

I have to go.

You stay right here,

you promise?

Nope, not moving.

Just leave the cookie.

You made mac and cheese!

I love mac and cheese!

Well, somebody's

in better spirits.

Can't forget my vegetables.

You feeling okay, Talia?

Yeah, sure, Mom.

Why?

Just wondering.

[sniffing]

I smell bacon.

- [dog barking]

- [Talia gasping]

- What's that?

- Oh, that's just Buster,

Mr. Unger's dog from next door.

I met them today.

Why is he barking?

Maybe he just wants to say hi.

[pig] Hey, get me outta here!

Hey, take it easy!

I'm new in the area!

- Maybe he's an attack dog.

- Oh, don't be silly.

He's just a harmless fur-ball.
