Favorite Quote(s):
Jo: You can never have too many books, Dan.
Jo: I find when I read a book, it opens my eyes to things I may not have noticed before, and that makes me appreciate the world outside my window even more.
Nan: What about my porriage? I worked all morning on it.
Emil: And I almost choked! That stuff was awful!
Jo: This is an 'n' as in navigate. This is an 'i' - iceburg. 'C', uh, cannon. And this last one is a 'k'-kettle-kitty. No but look, look. When you put these letters together, that spells Nick.
Nick: Nick.
Jo: That's your first word.
Reson For Rating: This episode has a lot of 'little' things that combined make a good episode. It teaches the meaning of the word "Philanthropy" which I had never known before. My favorite parts were when Jo was trying to teach Nick how to read and he told her that he quit (I liked the arguing! :) ) and when Dan wouldn't tell her where he was out of respect for Nick. The episode was good, and well worth your time!
