Can We Be Friends? Boys and girls, let's look at the next picture. Raise your hand if you know what the next picture is. When I came down the hall, I felt happy. I felt a little scared. Good morning. must be Fun Fun. Boys and girls, this is Fun Fun. He's going to be a new boy in our classroom,

and this is Patricia Lam, his aide, and I'd like you to welcome him and to make him feel like he's part of our class. Boys and girls, would you like to say hello to Fun Fun? Good morning, Fun. Okay. Fun Fun, would you like to sit down? Yes. And Patricia? And he didn't have no friends. I was happy when we had a new boy, and then I went up and asked the teacher, I play with him? Can I play with the new boy named Fun Fun? Yes, but let's wait till recess time. This is Fonix right now. Fonix, now we're doing Fonix now. Would you like to join in with us? Good. All right, children, and the next picture, I think Trinay's had it. Cats. Can you spell cats twice? C -A -T -N. That's right, we can write cats on the line. This is a high building. The first day when people come in, you can't be friends

with them. They're strange to you. He was a little frightened, and then I was a little frightened. Can I have one of those blocks? Let me take one. Thanks. Yeah. Anything? I don't even know what this is. I was happy. Because I had someone to play with. No. Better start, dude. The first time I saw Jessica was on the playground over by the wall, and I felt like she couldn't do nothing like she was a handy cat, and I didn't want to be a friend. Hi,

C -A -T -N -D. Who's this? Jessica. That's because this is me and Mia. This is Jessica. Hi. I'll see you later. Okay, bye. All right, we've been working on the French folk song now, and we've got to get a couple things cleared up. The phrasing and the breath marks are for one thing. Let's start with the trumpets, okay? One, two, three, four. All right, let's do that again. Now, remember, it's a French folk song, not a Russian folk song, so don't rush it. One, two, three, four. When I first met Mia, it was just like and then we went to music class. I heard her playing the trumpet, and I thought she was

good. Okay, flutes to my count. Now, make sure you don't rush. One, two, three, four. two, I liked how she played the flute, and so we became friends, like, a little then. We were getting closer to being friends. Jason, you did not die with that. You wanted to look cool and show off. I wouldn't talk. You're the one who's showing off. Oh, Voloni. The first time I met Jason,

we were playing football right down the farm at Little Hill. Jason has a tendency when he meets new kids to show off a lot. It was like he was trying to make everybody think he was the best. He says he was showing off. Oh, yeah. Oh, stick your soul. And then we just jumped by and started rolling down the hill. Yeah, Voloni. look like a Richard from a car wash.

What, hopefully basketball? I don't know how. Come on, let's cover you. When we started to see each other, and then we just began to like each other, and I discovered that he only showed off for new kids and when he was new. I think he was just self -consciously trying to get friends and going about it the wrong way. At recess, I saw her on the playground and she was playing hockey. She saved a lot of gold. All right. Were you picked for me? Yeah. When she played kickball, she picked the greatest boy on the team and he always kicked home runs for her. I'm good because if she can pick the smartest

kicker, then she must be okay. Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

Ha, I'm Chris. This movie's about making friends. Jessica's in it. And Mia. And Robert. You'll see Joey, Jason, and me. He worked sad because he didn't have nobody to play with. No. Move off my son. Move,

hurry up. Then I went and played with him. What? I had to jump. I was going try to jump. You better jump or I'm going to beat you up and eat you up. And then we came friends. Don't stay near there. You go. He's going, going, he's I had to jump. I didn't know how to play basketball. I shot underhand then I kept on missing it and then Jelly came over and he held me on my shoe. He was shooting. Nice one. Here, take another one.

Right. This is fun, isn't it? You want a dribble? Here, try. He didn't give up, you know. He kept trying and he got pretty good. Now he's better than I am. We started helping each other in the classroom. Jason's a good athlete and so I help him with his math reading and that kind of thing. Then you multiply. Here, it's a definite order to be the student. Divide. Multiply. Subtract. Bring down. Sometimes when I have trouble, Joey helps me and outside of recess I

help him and we have a pretty good system going there. Right. Cut it off. We was walking in the room and this girl, Katie, called Jessica for no reason. I felt angry because I wanted to be Jessica's friend. Today what we're going to try and experiment with is to go out to this girl and bring her into our group. I want you to be thinking about how this girl feels when she's out here all by herself and how it feels to leave our group and to go out to her. You played wood tag. Katie just kicked me for no reason. She chased me around the wood tag. Tia!

Tia! Tia! Push me a little bit over. Ready? While we were running, Katie over at the teacher's we were watching us and we got in trouble. Girls, I understand we had a little problem at outdoor recess yesterday.

We're not going to have any problems today, you know why? Because you're going to spend recess with Mr. Callahan. And to see that our time is utilized correctly we're going to do a little work here, okay? I assume that you can do those problems, huh? I'll be back in about ten minutes. We'll go over what you've got done and see what's right or wrong. Jessica passed me a note in a ring. And I read the note. I said, yes. I felt excited. And I yes. I'll be back I'm Chris. This movie is about making friends.

Jessica Zeny and Mia, Fawn Fawn and Robert, you'll see Joey, Jason, and me. Sometimes it's hard to stay friends. That's what this part's about. It's hard to stay friends when she runs me over. But she calls me. She writes down the wrong score. She pinches me and she slaps me across the face. It's not nice. Mia! Never mind. Once when me and Mia were bowling, this girl was calling the other girl. So I thought I would do it to Mia once. Mia! What? I've got what's gonna say.

So I called Mia and she started to get mad. Hi. What would you have done? Let's see what happens next. And then it was my turn. Mia! Why? What did you do that for? My hands was nervous. Nervous? Mia! Stop it! other hand wasn't nervous, too. Every time I was on my last ball, she would turn the bowling ball and it go in the gutter. That's gonna go in the gutter. See, it's not as pushy No! Well, it was.

See, my hands were nervous. Mia! So that's good. Yeah, I could have got a 10 if you didn't flip all my balls. My move! King. Now we're King, Okay. King, mate. Okay. Could I play? No. Why not? Because the game ain't finished. Could you play with me, Robert? No, I'll play with the guy. I ain't gonna play no more! Me, either. Joy was out of school for a few days. Jason and I played. what it's you! That's what it's you! You okay? Yeah, I guess so.

Jason offered to help me. Then I decided I wanted to be friends with Jason. You sure? Yeah. Thanks a lot. Joy came back to school. Now, Joy and I both wanted to be Jason's friend. I was Jason's new friend. When I came back, Jason and Chris were hanging around together. Chris had pushed me and then he'd get in and I'd push him and I'd get in. Chris and I both wanted to be friends with Jason and neither one of us really wanted to have the other one be friends. We had an ice fight and it was fun at first. And then she got hit in the eye.

We started fighting back and forth. No. Yes. No. So I've been wet. So? So. I started it. Yes. You did it. Me, I don't want bolt you anymore. I'll get in the boat and partner. I felt sad. You guys, I have to go to bathroom. I'll be back in a minute. There's a corner that we go into. It blocks out the wind and so we went in there. Sorry. Come on, Joe. I'm not. Move it, Joe. No. Pig. You think, you know, everybody can only have one friend and stuff like that, you know, you're really out of your mind. Maybe we're Joe Jason's friends first, but it doesn't mean it. I can't be his friend,

too. What are you guys fighting about? Come on, break it off. You guys, why are fighting? Pig, don't. Why? You guys, cut it out. Come on. Break it up. Come on. You guys, all right. Come on. Break it up. Come on. We just realized this is stupid. We can both be Jason's friend at once. I mean, such thing as having two friends. Psst. Okay. What do guys want to do?

I don't know. So let's get out of here. Come on. Let's go. And from then on, we decided, you know, felt left out. That's one thing I like about it. mean, none of us feel left out when we play together. Hello? Hello, me and Jesse. Hi. Sorry about the fight at the bowling alley. I'm sorry too. Would you like to bowl with me when school begins? Okay. Promise not to move with bowling boys? I promise. Promise me that you won't call me when I'm bowling? I promise. Well, I'll see you when school begins. Okay.

Bye. Bye. Could you make me a Superman? Yes. Sorry about being too tired to you. I'm sorry for knocking the checkers down. I think your friend is, it's a present. He helps you around the place. He gives you things, paper, your crutches, help you with your work. And he's a nice friend to play with. It's 42. 42 four fifths. 42 and four fifths. Okay. 42 and four fifths. We play a game called Math Baseball. Hey, Jerry, you want to play Math Baseball? Sure. Okay. You have a single, a double,

a triple, and a home run. And a home run is hard division. That's division, right? Yeah. 17, 35, 46. Okay. Ready? On your mark. Get set. Go. Dying is ticking away. Seconds are passing by. I get two, eight, nine, two. No. Yeah, it could be. Two, eight, nine, two are four. Okay. Now let me do the problem. Ah! You pretend you don't have a handicapped. But somebody says, oh, you're a handicapped. You can't do anything. say, I'm not handicapped. There's nothing wrong with me. I'm a person too, you know. I can do just about anything you can do.

He kind of acts like it's not fair. I don't like when kids make a special point of me. That I'm different. I don't, I want to be, I want to blend in. I don't want to be known as the different person. Joey, in this, he could, yeah, he can do things. But kids think that he's helpless. Some things he can do that other kids can't. They're mean to me out at school. would play ground, oh, you can't play. You can't do a thing. And then you get inside, oh, could you please help me? Joey is kind because he helps them. Joey is one of the most kind -hearted people I know. I mean, although he is big and large, he fights a lot. Big and large and a lumbering ox. Oh, it's your lumbering ox here. I'm happy about it. To be friends with Jessica means a whole lot to me.

I feel glad that she was my bowling partner again. Being friends means that you have somebody that you can trust and somebody that you can play with. I'm happy about I'm

happy I'm happy.

happy.
