* Bill: You are very good darling.
* Bill: You don't have to be like Jessica.
* Maggie: But Jessica is best in everything she does!
* Bill: You are great at many things, some of them much better than Jessica.
* Maggie: Like what for example?
* Bill: Like not cocking up your little nose.
* Maggie: Grandpa, she is not like that!
* Bill: Just saying...
* Bill: You better start packing yourself.
* Maggie: Yes sir!

* Bill: Not really sweetie... Jessica had an accident when she played volleyball.

* Jessica: Hey Ted! We miss skiing so much!
* Jessica: Are you having fun here?
* Ted: Yes, it's great! Wish you both were here.
* Jessica: Us too. But you know...
* Jessica: ...at least we are not missing the Winter Ball.
* Ted: Sorry girls, I have to go.
* Ted: They are serving the dessert and I'm starving after morning on the slopes.
* Jessica: OK. Talk to you later!
* Ted: Bye!
* Jessica: That's it.
* Jessica: He had to get his dessert...
* Maggie: Phef… Let him stiff himself with cakes.
* Maggie and Jessica walk in the hallway, into the gym.
* Maggie: Yes, me too. I always wanted to go to the Ball with Ted.
* Jessica: Oh no! What shall we do...
* Maggie: I wouldn't feel good going with him in that case.
* Jessica: No, me too.
* Maggie: That means neither of us should go with Ted.
* Jessica: Yes, because we are best friends.
* Maggie: But we still go to the Ball.
* Jessica: I will bring you my fashion magazines...
* Jessica: ...so you can see all these amazing dresses.

### During the level

* Jessica: Fat Sausage! Just pretend we don't see him.
* Diego: …
* Maggie: I think his name is Diego... Why nobody likes him?
* Jessica: Who cares. He is just not fun! Listen to him, his jokes are dull.
* Maggie: I can't remember anything like that.
* Jessica: Anyway, he is fat, unpopular and from poor family.
* Jessica: We can't let him stick around us.

## Level 4

* Maggie: You know grandpa... he is just silly and weird.
* Bill: I have spoken with Diego a while ago.
* Bill: Did you know that he is son of Mrs. Martinez from the store?
* Bill: He is not a bit the boy you described.
* Maggie: But Jessica says...
* Bill: It's not about what Jessica says. It's about who he really is.
* Bill: Did it cross your mind that he must be very lonely?
* Bill: Try to put yourself in his shoes.
* Maggie: But... I trust Jessica, why would I doubt in what she says?
* Bill: Honesty Maggie.
* Bill: Do you really feel OK just listening to Jessica?
* Maggie: I... I actually... don't.
* Bill: You should meet this boy. Be honest to yourself.
* Bill: It's not so easy to stick to his virtue.
* Bill: You know that very well Maggie.

### After the level

* Maggie cleans the table while Mrs. Martinez enters the place.
* Mrs. Martinez: Hello my dear!
* Maggie: Oh! Good afternoon Mrs. Martinez.
* Mrs. Martinez: I brought your grandpa's wallet. He left them in the store, again.
* Maggie: Haha. Yes, he does it every so often.
* Mrs. Martinez: You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
* Maggie: Yep... I guess.
* Mrs. Martinez: You look bit sad Maggie. What's eating you?
* Maggie: Me... oh, nothing really...
* Mrs. Martinez: C'mon Maggie! I can read you as a book. What's wrong?
* Maggie: Well... My friend is sometimes arrogant and selfish.
* Maggie: And not kind to other people.
* Maggie: Sometimes I don't like the way she acts.
* Mrs. Martinez: Just don't let it bother you.
* Mrs. Martinez: Why don't you tell her that? Listen Maggie, it's her problem, not yours.
* Mrs. Martinez: You are a good girl, you have nothing on your conscience. Right?

## Level 5

* Maggie: Yes. You know my name?
* Diego: My mom told me about you. And I met your grandpa.
* Diego: Mr. Welles is a really cool guy.
* Maggie: Haha! I like him too.
* Maggie: I haven't seen you in the cinema.
* Diego: No. I met him in my mother's store.
* Diego: I help her from time to time.
* Diego: This is the reason why I couldn't go to the Ski Camp.
* Jessica: Oh yeah? Isn't it that you simply can't afford it?
* Diego: My mum really needs my help...
* Jessica: Sure! You must be absolutely irreplaceable.
* Diego: I do my...
* Maggie: Jessica!
* Maggie: Why are you doing this!?
* Jessica: Doing what exactly?
* Maggie: You are horrible to Diego. You bully him!
* Jessica: I see. If that's so, then have fun with your new friend!
* Jessica: Bye FATSY!
* Jessica left.
* Now in the theater...
* Bill: Thank you Ma'am.
* Bill: Yes, please ask Jessica to call Maggie back when she can.

* Bill: I will keep my eye on the phone.

### During the level

* Ted: Yeah, that's a shame.

* Jessica: Ted, you know, about the Winter Ball...
* Ted: Sure…
* Jessica: Would you go with me?

## Level 6

* Maggie: What's gotten into you?
* Jessica: Since when you and Fatsy are friends?
* Maggie: Don't call him like that, I was just talking with Diego.
* Maggie: Why are you picking on him all the time?
* Maggie: You should meet him too. He really is a nice guy.
* Jessica: Oh yeah?! Then you can go with him to the Ball.
* Jessica: I'm going with Ted!
* Maggie: What are you talking about?
* Jessica: I spoke with him yesterday. Alone.
* Jessica: He asked me to be his partner.
* Maggie is scared!

### During the level

* Bill comforts Maggie when she's sad.
* Bill: What's on your mind?
* Maggie: Jessica will go with Ted to the ball!
* Maggie: We promised each other not to go with him!
* Maggie: I don't know what to do...
* Maggie: I think Ted's likes her too much.
* Maggie: This will ruin our friendship!

### After the level

* Inside the store...
* Bill: Thank you for bringing my wallet the other day.
* Mrs. Martinez: You are welcome Mr. Welles. It was nice to meet Maggie.
* Mrs. Martinez: She is a really charming girl.
* Bill: Yes, she is... And how are things with your daughter Mrs. Martinez?
* Bill: Is she getting better?
* Mrs. Martinez: Yes, she is...
* Bill: Oh, yes... Diego told me. I met him in the store when you were in the hospital.
* Mrs. Martinez: I see. Well, she is getting better.
* Mrs. Martinez: Thank you for asking.
* Bill: I have a friend in the hospital...
* Bill: He told me that treatment is very expensive.
* Mrs. Martinez: Well...
* Mrs. Martinez: I won't lie to you, it is.
* Bill: If there is any way I can help...
* Bill: I mean... the cinema is doing very well recently.
* Mrs. Martinez: Mr. Welles! This is out of question!
* Mrs. Martinez: I could never accept anything like this.
* Bill: Mrs. Martinez please just think it over...
* Mrs. Martinez: I'm sorry, but I have to refuse.
* Mrs. Martinez: I may not earn much but I can take care of me and my family.
* Mrs. Martinez: This is my fate and I have to endure it on my own.

## Level 7

* Maggie: Diego, when grandpa is back he will show you the screening room.
* Diego: I can't wait.
* Bill: Hello kids! Are you having fun?
* Diego: Good afternoon Mr. Welles.
* Maggie: I'm telling Diego about the cinema.
* Maggie: Can we show him the screening room grandpa?
* Maggie: Please, please, please!
* Bill: Sure Tater Tot!
* Bill: Do you have a day off Diego?
* Diego: No, mum doesn't need me anymore in the shop.
* Bill: Doesn't she? In that case...
* Bill: I wouldn't mind having some help Diego.
* Bill: What do you think? Have you ever wanted to work in cinema?
* Diego: I would love to!
* Bill: That's great! I will discuss this with your mum later.
* Bill: And now it's time to show you the screening room...
* Bill: ...and anything else you would like to see.
* Bill: Follow me kids!
* Maggie and Diego lead Bill to screening.

### After the level

* Again in the store...
* Bill: Diego was so curious about everything.
* Bill: And he is learning smart. He is a really smart boy Mrs. Martinez.
* Mrs. Martinez: I'm glad to hear that.
* Bill: It's great that he became friends with Maggie.
* Mrs. Martinez: And it's so good for the kids having company during winter break in town.
* Bill: That's right. I was afraid that Maggie will be stuck here with this friend of her.
* Bill: Frankly, she will be better off spending time with Diego instead of that girl.
* Mrs. Martinez: Don't be too harsh Mr. Welles.
* Mrs. Martinez: Many kids stayed in town for the winter break and all of them need some company.
* Mrs. Martinez: They must be really bored when there is no school.
* Bill: Actually... I think I have an idea how to make this time more enjoyable for those kids.
* Bill: Yes, that would be great...
* Bill: Thank you Mrs. Martinez!
* Bill leaves the store, but he left his wallet!
* Mrs. Martinez: Mr. Welles your wallet!

## Level 8

* Maggie: So what's the big news grandpa?
* Bill: It's about the festival.
* Bill: Since there are many kids staying for the winter break in town...
* Bill: ...I thought about some entertainment for them.
* Bill: I decided to change the Silent Film Festival into Kids Festival.
* Bill: We will play old classical cartoons which you can't watch in the cinemas anymore.
* Maggie: Oh! That's great grandpa.
* Bill: I would love to have you in it. Would you help me Maggie?
* Maggie: Ech… Kids Festival?
* Maggie: I don't quite feel like being a child anymore grandpa...
* Bill: What do you mean Maggie?
* Maggie: Jessica says that we are too grown up for silly movies.
* Bill: Pardon me? And her again...
* Bill: Listen Maggie. There is no such thing like silly movie.
* Bill: It's important whether you enjoy the movie or not.
* Bill: How old you are doesn't really matter.
* Maggie: Well... I don't know...
* Bill: OK then. Please think about it overnight.
* Bill: I was hoping we could do it together. If you are not in, I won't change the festival.
* Maggie: I'm sorry grandpa.

### After the level

* Diego: It could be fun to have such festival in town...
* Diego: I'm sure many kids would like it a lot.
* Maggie: Well... I know. No w I feel sorry that I didn't want to help...
* Diego: My mom says that it is important to stick together and help family.
* Diego: I know wish I knew how to help my sister.
* Maggie: Isn't she better? You said that she is back home.
* Diego: She is back home because we couldn't afford to pay for the hospital anymore.
* Diego: Until we save money for treatment I can forget about stuff like skiing...
* Diego: And I don't mind... All I care about is her getting better.
* Maggie: I'm so sorry Diego. There must be a way to help her...
* Maggie: Yes! There is a way.
* Diego: ….
* Maggie: I think your mother is right! One has to stay with loved ones when they need him.
* Maggie: We are going to help your sister Diego.
* Maggie: C'mon! I have a great plan!
* Diego and Maggie leave the gym.

## Level 9

* Bill: So that's why your mom doesn't need you in the store anymore...
* Bill: It's really sad news.
* Maggie: Grandpa. I think we could help Diego's sister.
* Bill: Mrs. Martinez would have to accept this help, Maggie.
* Diego: Yep, mum can be really stubborn.
* Maggie: But what if you set up a charity?
* Maggie: Like you did for orphanage year ago.
* Bill: That might work...
* Bill: Maggie, you are such a clever girl!
* Maggie: But there is one condition grandpa.
* Bill: Oh.... What is it then?
* Diego: I want to participate Mr. Welles.
* Diego: It's very important to me that I take my pat in it.
* Bill: Well, frankly, I'm more than happy to have you on board Diego.
* Maggie: And me too grandpa...
* Maggie: Let's make the Kids Festival together.
* Bill: Oh, Darling!
* Bill: Wonderful! Let's start planning the festival, kids!
* Diego: My mum shouldn't know anything till the end of the festival.
* Bill: Of course young boy. It will be our secret.
* Diego: And Mr. Welles...
* Diego: Thank you so much!
* Maggie now runs the place.

### After the level

* Jessica enters the place.
* Jessica: Hi Fa... Diego.
* Jessica: Where is Maggie?
* Diego: She is at home.
* Jessica: So what are you doing here alone?
* Diego: I'm helping Mr. Welles preparing the festival.
* Jessica: Phew... So now she made you her mule to do her choices.
* Diego: It's not like that.
* Jessica: Isn't it? What makes you so sure?
* Diego: Because...
* Jessica: You know why you both spend so much time together?
* Jessica: She doesn't really like you, she is jealous.
* Jessica: Maggie can't stand the fact that I'm going to the Winter Ball with Ted!
* Jessica: So she tries to punish me.
* Jessica: And "become" your friend.
* Jessica: So pathetic.
* Diego: You have it all wrong.
* Jessica: Do I?!
* Diego: Yes you do. Gosh...
* Diego: I'm sorry for you Jessica.
* Jessica: Why would you... You...
* Diego: I think you are just a very lonely person.

* Mrs. Martinez: Don't wanna talk about it?
* Diego: Not really, I just feel blue...
* Mrs. Martinez: Cheer up, Diego! There is the Ball coming soon.
* Diegp: I don't think I will go this year...
* Mrs. Martinez: You DON'T want to go?!
* Mrs. Martinez: That's odd...

* Diego: Oh... Hi Jessica.
* Maggie: What!?
* Maggie: I know what you told Diego! How could you?
* Maggie: How dare you even show up here?!
* Maggie: You are the worst person I have ever known.
* Jessica: I didn't mean... I'm so sorry...
* Maggie: I'm not even listening to this.
* Maggie: Just LEAVE!
* Jessica leaves.
* Diego: Maggie... Haven't you been bit too harsh?
* Maggie: How can you defend her?

* Mrs. Martinez: Mr. Welles, I simply can't accept this money...
* Bill: That's too bad, because I can't keep it.
* Bill: The tax is already registered for charity.

* Bill: If you won't accept my offer, I will have to give the funds to the Mole Protecting Committee.
* Bill: And I really hate moles. SO please, Mrs. Martinez, don't put me into this situation.
* Mrs. Martinez: I... I don't know what to say...
