1. EXT. ELINOR’S YARD -– DAY One day, Elinor, Olive and Ari are playing catch when Hazel, a very outgoing lioness, comes into Elinor’s backyard. ElinOR Here Ari, catch this! Elinor throws the ball and he runs to catch it and almost bumps into Hazel, who is sniffing flowers near Elinor's house. Ari Oh, hi Hazel! Whatcha doing? HAZEL I’m smelling all the amazing flowers. This one is my favorite. (sniffs another) Ooh , no. Now THIS one is my favorite! ARI Want to play catch with us? HAZEL Sure. ARI Okay. Go long! He throws the ball back towards the girls. Hazel runs, but we see the ball land without Hazel in the frame. ELINOR Where’s Hazel? OLIVE I think she found a new smell. The kids look over and see Hazel sniffing the air. HAZEL Something over here smells delicious and fruity. It’s coming from... Right... (sniffs the air) Here! Hazel stops at Elinor’s garden and leans in for a full whiff of the strawberries. Hazel (CONT’D) Yep! Th at’s the smell . Strawberries! Olive Mmm ... I love the smell of f resh strawberries! Elinor They taste good too . My parents said it’s okay to pick them, as long as we wash them before we eat them. Hazel Yay! Let’s pick some strawberries. As the kids go to pick, we push in close on a strawberry. Dissolve to: 2. EXT. elinor’s yard -- later We are still close on a strawberry and, as we pull out, we see the kids now sitting at a picnic table with a basket bowl of cut strawberries, enjoying the fruits of their labor. ari These are the best strawberries ever! How did you grow them to be so yummy , Elinor? ELINOR That’s easy. I’ll tell you my secret... I just made sure I had the three S’s in my garden. hazel Three S’s ? As Elinor explains, she grabs a packet of seeds, a handful of soil and motions up to the sun to demonstrate. ELINOR (leaning on the S sound) Yep. Good S ss eeds to plant - that the first S, lots of really nice brown S ss oil for the plants to grow in and loads of S ss un to help the plants grow. Hazel Oh, three S’s , I get it! Although my favorite is the 4th S. ELINOR 4th S? Hazel takes another bite of a strawberry and gets up, doing a happy little dance as she speaks . HAZEL (mouth full) Yep, Sss trawberries ! Thank you sooo much! The kids all <GIGGLE> as Elinor remembers something. Elinor That reminds me, there is a 4th thing that every garden needs... water! I’d better water my garden so we can keep my strawberries healthy. Ari Good idea. While you do that, I’m gonna do... whatever Hazel’s doing. As Elinor takes a moment to water her garden, Olive and Ari join Hazel in her dance. Hazel I wish I could grow yummy strawberries like these at my house too! Elinor You can, Hazel. I’ll get you started with the very first S... seeds. Elinor hands Hazel the packet of strawberry seeds she had earlier. Hazel is very excited about this and now spins around in joy! Hazel Thank you ! I can’t wait to grow my very own strawberries! Olive You’ll have strawberries a s soon as you plant those seeds in your garden at home. Hazel stops in mid-spin as more juice runs down her chin. Hazel Oh. Uhh ... I don’t have a garden at home. Elinor then has a THOUGHT BUBBLE shows Elinor helping Hazel plant a garden. Elinor That’s no problem. We can help you start a garden of your own. As long as your parents are okay with it. HAZEL (mouth full) Are you kidding? My dad loves strawberries. He’s gonna be so excited! ari Mr. Lion gets excited about everything! That’s why h is art class is so fun ! Elinor Let's head over to your house and start your strawberry garden. HAZEL Can we also bring some of these yummy strawberries for my Dad? ELINOR Sure! Let me go tell my Mom that we are going to your place and I’ll bring some strawberries with us. The kids run off with SFX: EXCITED WALLA. 3. EXT. HAZEL’S APARTMENT -- DAY The kids arrive at the apartment in the main area of town. HAZEL Here we are, home sweet home. The kids are a bit confused as they look at the storefront. Ari You live here? But this is a store? HAZEL Yep. We live right above the store. Olive Ooh , you live in an apartment. That is sooo cool! HAZEL Yeah, my dad was very excited about it, of course. He likes painting on the sunny balcony . As the kids come around to the side of the building, they see Hazel’s father, Mr. Lion, painting on the balcony. ELINOR Hi, Mr. Lion. Mr. Lion Oh, hey there, kids! Don’t mind me, just taking in the scenery up here . Come on up, Hazel-b asil . Hazel Okay, Dad. Elinor is gonna help me start a garden to grow yummy strawberries. Mr. Lion Ooh , I love strawberries! Red is such a bold color, but those berries pull it off. Hazel See? I told ya he would love it. Olive Do you have a yard with a garden upstairs, Hazel? HaZEL Hmmm ... I don’t. Hazel seems puzzled at first, but Ari reassures her. Ari Don’t worry Hazel. I’m sure we can figure something out, easy-peasy . As the kids enter the building, Elinor is confident. Elinor We sure will. Y ou can have a garden anywhere as long as you have seeds, soil and sun. OLIVE And water! 4. INT. HAZEL’S APARTMENT -- DAY The kids enjoy some more strawberries with Mr. Lion. MR. LION Oh, Hazel-b asil , you were right! These strawberries are just plain tickling my tastebuds ! I can’t wait ‘till you grow some of your own. HAZEL Me either. Let’s do it! Hazel takes off to the next room , leaving everyone behind as Mr. Lion grabs another strawberry. MR. LION Well, I’d better get back to my painting , but thanks for bringing some color to my day, kids. Have fun. As Mr. Lion gets up, Elinor leads the kids around the apartment. OliVE Okay, so we need to figure out the best place for Hazel’s garden with no back yard . ElINOR With the three S’s seed, soil and sun . OLIVE A nd WATER! ELINOR Right. And you have the first S, seeds, so now you need soil and sun. Hazel Hmm... what about the kitchen sink? That has water. Elinor and Olive look at the sink and see dishes in it. olive Yeah, but no soil. Ari And if you made a garden in your sink, how would you wash your dishes? Hazel Oh... good point. (she thinks then) I got it! Hazel then takes off before the kids can even say anything. The kids follow and Hazel points into her bathroom (which we don’t see). HAZEL (CONT’D) When I have a bath, I wash my dirt off in the tub. Let's put my garden there! Hazel is proud of this suggestion, but the kids <LAUGH> . Elinor I don't think there's dirt left in your tub, even if you were REALLY dirty. ARI And I don’t think there’s enough sun. Olive You know, my Mom has lots of plants inside the house, and her plants are always in a pot or a box , so when she needs soil, she always goes into town to get it. ELINOR That’s a great idea, Olive! Why don’t we go into town and find the things we need to bring into Hazel’s apartment for the garden. hazel I already have the first S, Seeds, so the second S is some Soil! ARI Now this is my kinda mission! Looking for dirt! Mr. Lion then pops in. Mr. LION Hey, kids. You heading out? HAZEL Yep! We’re looking for soil. MR. LION Then you’d better take the wagon. It’s downstairs in the shed. Good luck! ELINOR Thanks, Mr. Lion. Hazel leads the way as the kids head out. 5. EXT. ANIMAL TOWN main street –- DAY With the wagon in tow, the kids walk around Animal Town. Suddenly, Ari sees an empty field nearby. Ari Look! There’s plenty of dirt here! Ari and Hazel run over and try to dig up the dirt with their hands, but the red dirt is really hard to dig up. Elinor Hmm... this soil is to hard to dig up . Olive Yeah! What we need is good, healthy brown soil like Elinor has in her garden. HAZEL Gotcha, brown soil. This way! Hazel once again takes off and the others follow closely behind, struggling to keep up with the energetic lioness. 6. Ext. Mz. Llama’s yard -- continuous Suddenly, Hazel stops next to Mz. Llama’s place , she points to Mz. Llama’s backyard and the others notice that Mz. Llama has dug a big hole in the ground to plant the tree . S he has a pile of good, brown soil, so they approach Mz. Llama. HAZEL Hey, look! Will that soil work for my garden? Olive I don’t know. Let’s go see. Elinor That’s a beautiful tree, Mz. Llama. MZ. LLAMA Thanks, Elinor. I just dug this hole to plant it in. Ari Are you going to be using all that brown soil you dug up ? MZ. LLAMA I’m not sure, but if you kids need it, you can have it . ELINOR Thanks, Mz. Llama. I’ll just get this-- Hazel comes running into the frame towing the red wagon . HaZEL I’ll get the oil! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mz. Llama! As Hazel goes to grab the dirt, Ari notices a wooden box behind Mz. Llama. ari Mz. Llama, is this your wooden box too? MZ. LLAMA It is, the tree came in that box, I was planning to recycle it, but if you want to reuse it that’s fine by me. Hazel runs over to the box, pick s it up over her head and brings it over to the dirt pile. Hazel Woo hoo ! This box is perfect. Thank you so much! You’re the best, Mz. Llama! The others follow behind Hazel as Mz. Llama waves to them. MZ. LLAMA It’s no problem. I’m always happy to help start a new garden. Have fun, kids. 7. INT. HAZEL’S APARTMENT -- DAY The kids arrive back inside Hazel’s apartment with their box full of soil. Elinor Okay, so we have our first two S’s, seeds and soil. All that’s left is the final “S”... Sun. HAZEL So let’s find a nice, sunny spot in the apartment. Go! As Hazel runs off, we see a quick MONTAGE set to fun, bouncy music where the kids try out various spots and find reasons why each spot won’t work. First up, the kitchen table. Olive How will you eat? Next, under the kitchen table. Ari No t enough sun. Next, Hazel places the garden next to the couch. Elinor Still no t enough sun. Hazel places the garden in the dark closet and we see nothing. A beat later, Hazel turns on a flashlight , which puts some light in the closet, where she and Hazel stand. Elinor (CONT’D) REALLY no t enough sun. Finally, Hazel puts the garden on top of her toy box. ari Lots of sun, but h ow will you get to your toys? HazEL Ohh. Good point. As the music fades, the kids are stumped. OLIVE I don’t know, Elinor. I’m not so sure there really is a good spot for this garden in Hazel’s apartment. Elinor sees disappointed Hazel flashes her puppy dog eyes. Elinor There has to be a perfect, sunny spot somewhere. We just haven’t found it yet. Right on cue, Mr. Lion comes back in from the balcony. MR. LION Whew. I love the natural light, but it can get a touch sweaty on the balcony with all that sun shining on you. ELINOR That’s it! The balcony gets lot of sun. Olive Mr. Lion, would it be okay to go out and see if the balcony is a good place for Hazel’s garden? MR. LION Sure! Way to think outside the box, or should I say, outside the apartment. Mr. Lion laughs at his Dad joke, but he’s the only one. Mr. LION (CONT’D) Well, you kids should never go out on the balcony by yourselves, but I’d love to help with your fun garden project. Let’s go! Hazel heads out first, of course! 8. EXT. BALCONY -- DAY The kids go out on the balcony and quickly discover that Elinor was right! hAZEL Elinor, you were right. This is the perfect place for my garden. Mr. LION Agreed! And might I say, a garden out here will really spruce the place up. As it finally looks like this garden of her own is about to become reality, Hazel dances for joy. HAZEL Thank you soooo much everybody, for all of your help with this garden! ELINOR You’re welcome, Hazel, but we’re not done yet. We still have to plant the garden. HAZEL That shouldn’t be too hard because now we have all three S’s: Seeds, soil and sun. SONG MONTAGE: As the music rises, Elinor and her friends sing a song about the three S’s . As they sing their song, the kids dance and help Hazel set up an amazing new garden right in the wooden b ox on the balcony and plant the seeds! ELINOR You can build a garden anywhere A balcony, a yard or here or there As long as you have these three special things You can have all the joy that a garden brings. Olive pulls out the packet of seeds and places them in little holes in the garden. OLIVE: The first thing to get are your favorite seeds To grow fruits or veggies or whatever you need. Ari then carefully covers the seeds with soil . ARI: The next thing is soil straight from the ground You can dig it up or buy it, it’s all around. Hazel points up to the sun above, which shines down on the garden. HAZEL: Once your seeds are planted, you’ll need sunlight To make sure your plants grow big and bright. ELINOR: You can build a garden anywhere A balcony, a yard or here or there, As long as you have those three, special things-- Olive then comes in with a watering can, interrupting Elinor. OLIVE: (spoken) And water. Can’t forget water. Hazel then jumps into frame, finishing the song. HAZEL You’ll have all the joy that a garden brings! With the garden now planted, we pull out and watch the sun rise, set and rise over the balcony . As the songs ends, we: DISSOLVE TO: 9. EXT. BALCONY –- DAY (LATER) Mr. Lion and the other kids watch as Hazel waters her garden, which now has its very own strawberries growing! There are also some other fruits and veggies growing behind the strawberries too, such as tomatoes and cucumbers. MR. LION Oh, Hazel-b asil , I am so proud of you for taking such great care of your garden for the last few weeks. Elinor Me too. Everything looks great. Especially y our strawberries ! ari And it looks like they’re just about ready to be picked. Hazel then pulls out a bowl of strawberries. Hazel I already have some ready for you! Here everybody, h ave a fresh, yummy strawberry. (then, to Elinor) And don’t worry, I already washed them. Hazel WINKS at Elinor, who smiles, as everyone grabs a strawberry. ARI Don’t mind if I do! Each of the kids, and Mr. Lion, take a bite and it’s clear they’re very tasty. Olive Mmm , these are great, Hazel. Elinor Yeah. I couldn’t have done a better job myself. HAZEL Well, there’s nothing sweeter than strawberries you’ve grown yourself... on your own balcony garden . As the kids <LAUGH> and eat more berries, we: FADE OUT.

ELINOR WONDERS WHY EWW169: A Garden for All! By Michael Foulke Elinor’s Question: Where can Elinor’s friend Hazel the lioness grow a garden of her own in her apartment? Logline: Elinor and her friends help Hazel figure out the best way to start a garden and grow her very own strawberries in her apartment. Curriculum Goals: LS5 . Begin to understand that animals and plants depend on other living things and nonliving things in the environment to meet some of their needs: b. Identify the habitats of familiar animals and plants in the environment c. Recognize that each kind of living things has a habitat that has resources to meet its unique needs (Elinor and Hazel learn they need soil, sun and space to grow strawberries) ET1 . Begin to understand that asking questions, making observations, and gathering information are helpful in thinking about problems, and that it is important to clearly understand the problem before beginning to design a solution (Elinor and Hazel learn what they need to have before they can design a rooftop garden to grow strawberries – soil, sun and space) SEP4 . Analyzing and interpreting data a. Collect, describe, and record observations in greater detail and in various ways b. Use the 5 senses and simple tools to gather and record data c. Record observations to describe patterns and/or relationships in the natural and designed world(s) in order to answer scientific questions and solve problems. (Elinor and her friends observe what plants need to grow, then try to replicate the conditions in Hazel's apartment). MAINS: Elinor, Ari, Olive SECONDARY: Hazel, Mr. Lion, Mrs. Llama LOCATIONS: Elinor's Yard, Hazel's Apartment, Animal Town Main Street, Mrs. Llama's Yard PROPS: Seeds, Barrel, Soil, Strawberries, Rug Outline: March 25, 2020 First Draft: April 9, 2020 Second Draft: April 17, 2020 Polish Draft: April 30, 2020 Scene 2 – Maybe they are sitting at a picnic table near the garden to eat the strawberries? Wasn’t sure how this was all framed since the strawberries are now washed and cut. "Our comment on this scene from D1 seems to have been deleted/missing from the tracker. Original notes were: ""It's a good idea to have a first beat to establish H's impractical enthusiasm, but this beat with the bike makes her seem more ""flighty and distracted"" than ""enthusiastic but impractical"". Consider something else, which is more positive and also leads more naturally into the smelling/gardening. Maybe she's over the moon with how the flowers smell, and is trying to enjoy them while she plays catch, but it doesn't go very well...and then her nose leads her to the strawberries"" We suggest something like: Elinor: Ari, catch this! Elinor throws the ball and he runs to catch it and almost bumps into Hazel, who is sniffing flowers near Elinor's house. Ari: Oh, Hi Hazel! Watcha doing? Hazel: I’m smelling all the amazing flowers. This one is my favorite. She sniffs another one. Ooh, no, now THIS one is my favorite. Ari: Want to play catch with us? Hazel: Sure! He throws the ball back towards the girls Hazel runs, but we see the ball land without Hazel in the frame. Elinor: Where’s Hazel? Olive: I think she’s found a new smell. Hazel: Something smells delicious and fruity. It’s coming from… Right… (sniffs the air) Here!" Scene 1 (Lines 1-6) – This is where we feel like Hazel is a bit dismissive and sometimes seems mean as she keeps wanting and then ignoring what her friends have and are doing. Line 4 – Hazel would need to put a helmet on if she gets on the bike. Cut this line. Line 50 – Better to say, “Usually we find soil and sun in a backyard so we need to investigate…” Line 61 – This line confused us because they found both the sink and bathtub that seemed big enough but were wrong for other reasons. Line 114 – Again – would love for this line to change. Olive Elinor Ari Mrs. Hippo ELINORE Mrs. Llama Air Mr. Raccoon Mz. Llama Hazel Olive/ari Mr. Lion Ari ELINOR/olive/ari (V.O.) (O.S.) (O.C.)
