'''Muffy:''' Sorry, I have tap class. Besides, isn’t hat something you do with Rubella?

'''Prunella:''' She's too busy studying for some silly test.     ''Brain hands Muffy two ice-cream cones.''

'''Brain:''' You mean the college exam? That ''is'' a big test. It's what colleges look at when they decide whether or not to take you.

'''Muffy:''' Don't worry. There are a zillion colleges out there. I'm sure there’s at least one that will take you.    ''She walks out. Brain serves Prunella her sundae.''
'''Muffy:''' Don't worry. There are a zillion colleges out there. I'm sure there’s at least one that will take you.    ''She walks out. Brain serves Prunella her sundae.''


'''Brain:''' Do you want gummy newts in that?
'''Brain:''' Do

'''Prunella:''' Actually...I've lost my appetite.    ''She walks out. Brain drops the newt on the sundae.''

''Prunella lies in bed at night. She hears Muffy’s voice.''
 
'''Muffy:''' 'There are a zillion colleges out there. I'm sure there’s at least one that will take you.    ...will take you...'
 
''In her dream attends a college graduation ceremony with her mother and Mr. Haney. She gets up ''
 
'''Dean Pickles:''' Prunella Deegan, for successfully completing four years of pie-throwing and batball, I, Dean Pickles, of the Whoop-Dee-Doo College for clowns, present you this non-refundable diploma. Congratulations.      ''He gives Prunella a diploma and shakes her hand with a hand buzzer.''
 
'''Prunella:''' Argh!
 
'''Audience:''' (laugh)    ''Prunella wakes up.''
 
'''Prunella:''' Augh!!

''In the library Prunella brings a large pile of books to the checkout counter. Muffy arrives with Bailey.''
 
'''Muffy:''' You’re not checking out all the Henry Skreever books, are you? I've reserved “The Chalice Of Malice”.
 
'''Prunella:''' These are text books. Quantum physics, surrealist poetry, the Crimean War...
 
'''Muffy:''' Since when are you interested in that stuff?
 
'''Prunella:''' Since I decided I don't want to go to Clown College.
 
'''Muffy:''' Are you still worried about that? Look, there are other ways to get in besides good grades and tests. They also want people who are well-rounded.
 
'''Prunella:''' But I'm thin as a rail!
 
'''Muffy:''' No, silly. Well-rounded means having lots of fascinating interests and activities.
 
'''Prunella:''' Does being a Henry Skreever fan count?
 
'''Muffy:''' Uh...no. They have to be things that make you seem exciting, like playing the ukulele or delivering turkeys to orphans.
 
'''Prunella:''' What do ''you'' do?
 
'''Muffy:''' I folk dance, play the okarina, and I come here every week and read to little kids.    ''A group of preschoolers is waiting.''
 
'''Prunella:''' How do you have time to do all that?
 
'''Muffy:''' When you really care about stuff, Prunella, you just find the time.    ''Muffy takes an “I Ching, You Ching” magazine and sits down on a couch. Bailey starts reading to the preschoolers.''
 
'''Bailey:''' “Chapter One. A funny face peered at me through the gate. It was none other than my pet goat."       ''Miss Turner has checked out all the books and put them in abox.''


'''Prunella:''' I don’t think I’m gonna need these, Miss Turner.
'''Prunella:''' Actually...I've
lost my appetite.    ''She walks out. Brain drops the newt on the sundae.''

''Prunella stands on the sidewalk by the park dressed as a grebe and holding up an “I love grebes” sign. People ignore her.''
'''Prunella:''' Save the pie-billed grebe! Donate now and get a "I Honk for Grebes" bumper sticker!   Oh...!     ''She sits down on a bench and drinks some water. She throws the empty bottle in the trash.''
'''Somebody:''' Hey, Grebe! That goes in recycling!
'''Prunella:''' Oh... Sorry!     ''As she takes the bottle back out she is attacked by a pigeon.''    Argh! Get away! Ugh, get away!  Get away!

''Prunella leans against her locker at school and sleeps.''
'''Prunella:''' (snores)    ''Mr. Ratburn comes.''
'''Mr. Ratburn: '''Prunella?  '''    '''''Prunella does flamenco moves.''
'''Prunella:''' Olé! Arriba! Chico!      Oh, sorry...I thought I was in flamenco class for a second.
'''Mr. Ratburn:''' I was wondering if you'd be willing to help paint the set of the school play? You did such a wonderful job last year.
'''Prunella:''' Sure! That was so much fun!
'''Mr. Ratburn:''' We're doing Chekhov's “The Cherry Orchard” and I’m thinking of creating an entire forest as a backdrop.
'''Prunella:''' Oh, with tons of cherry blossoms and... Oh, wait... Would it take a lot of time?
'''Mr. Ratburn:''' Just an hour after school, and maybe a few hours on the weekend.
'''Prunella:''' I don't think I can do it, Mr Ratburn. I just don't have time.
'''Mr. Ratburn:''' You don't have to make a decision right away. Why don't you think about it?    ''He walks away.''
'''Prunella:''' (sighs)    ''She opens her locker and lots of sport equipment falls out.''    Argh!   Grrr!
<nowiki>#</nowiki>
''In her room Prunella checks her very thick appointment book.''
'''Prunella:''' Okay, I have to be at the Senior Center at six to help with bingo, but Amish Quilt Design has moved to four-fifteen, so that means...  I have a whole twenty minutes all to myself!   Aah…   ''She drops on her bed.''
''In her dream Prunella carries a backpack full of equipment.''
'''Prunella:''' Must...get to...next appointment...  
'''Sensei:''' You're not breathing right. Here's some extra air.    ''He gives her a gas cylinder.''
'''Prunella:''' Ugh!
'''Czech Teacher:''' Náš výrobek se prodává velmi dobře na americkém trhu.  ''He puts a couple of books on top of the gas cylinder.''
'''Prunella:''' No more! I can't carry it all!      ''The kendo sensei, a cook with a cheese and several grebes come running at her.''
'''Sensei:''' Breathe!   Breathe!  
'''Prunella:''' Aaah!      ''She runs away. The others chase her.''
'''Sensei:''' Breathe! Breathe! Breathe in!
'''Czech Teacher:''' Náš výrobek se prodává velmi dobře na americkém trhu!
''Prunella runs into the Cultural Center. She blocks the door with the gas cylinder.''
'''Prunella:''' Phew!     Hh!   ''She is now in a large room full of students sitting at desks. Rubella walks up to her.''
'''Rubella:''' Pruny, you're late for the college exam!
'''Prunella:''' This isn't my bouzouki class?
'''Rubella:''' Face it, you were no good at all those other things, you’d better just hope you do well on this.    ''She hands Prunella a stack of papers labelled “College Exam”. Prunella sits down at a desk.''
'''Prunella:''' “Fish is to bicycle as fusilli is to 'blank'?!"     ''Dean Pickles puts a balloon animal on her desk.''
'''Dean Pickles:''' Don't worry, we'll always have a spot for you.
'''Prunella:''' No-o-o-o-o-o!

''An alarm clock sounds the next morning. Prunella wakes up, still in her street clothes. She turns off the alarm.''
'''Prunella:''' Hh! Eight in the morning! I slept through all my appointments!  Argh!     ''She lies back down.''
<nowiki>#</nowiki>
''Prunella and Marina sit in the Sugar Bowl.''
'''Prunella:''' So I quit everything.
'''Marina:''' Everything?
'''Prunella:''' Yep. I guess I better get used to the idea of Clown College.
'''Marina:''' Look at the bright side. Now you have time to do things you really like.
'''Prunella:''' You're right. From now on, I'm just living for today.           ''Marina stands up and raises her cane.''
'''Marina:''' Then we must not tarry, o powerful wizard, the three-headed dog of Doogenkirk is still out there!
'''Prunella:''' And Lord Moldywart is growing more powerful. To the castle!   Wait... Could we go to the castle a little later? There's something I wanna do first.
<nowiki>#</nowiki>
''Mr. Ratburn watches Prunella and Muffy paint the backdrop for “The Cherry Orchard”. Fern, Binky, George and Sue Ellen are also helping.''
'''Mr. Ratburn:''' Ah, these trees really give the sense of wistfulness that pervades “The Cherry Orchard”. Excellent work, Prunella.
'''Prunella:''' Thanks.  Too bad painting sets won't get me into college.
'''Mr. Ratburn:''' Why not? Set design is a well-respected profession. There are entire schools devoted to it. Not that you should be worrying about college now. You're only in fourth grade.    ''He leaves.''
'''Muffy:''' Agh! I'm covered in paint!
'''Prunella:''' You didn't tell me this counts.
'''Muffy:''' Counts for what?
'''Prunella:''' College! Painting sets is a fascinating activity that makes me well-rounded.
'''Muffy:''' No, it doesn't.
'''Prunella:''' Does too!    ''Mr. Crosswire comes in.''
'''Mr. Crosswire:''' Hi, Muffin. Bailey had some sort of pastry class to go to so I'm your ride home today.
'''Muffy:''' Daddy, tell Prunella that painting is just a hobby and would never in a million years get you into Ivy University.
'''Mr. Crosswire:''' I wouldn't know. I never went to college.
'''Muffy:''' Hh! But you have that framed diploma in your office!
'''Mr. Crosswire:''' Oh, that's just an honorary degree. They gave it to me when I donated the library.   Beautifu set! Well, come on, Pookums, the car's outside.     ''He walks away.''
'''Prunella:''' Don't worry, Muffy, there's a zillion colleges out there. I'm sure there must be at least one that’ll take you!
'''Muffy:''' Huh!    ''She walks away.''
'''Prunella:''' That tree could use more blossoms, George. Binky, put a few clouds up there. But use a sponge, it's a softer effect.  Come on, people, let's make this forest come alive!
