  [giggles] 

  Mimi : [watering her flowers]  Who has the prettiest garden that anyone ever grew? Who has the prettiest garden? Me, me, me. That's who!

  Marci : She kicks, she scores!

  Mimi : She wrecks my tulips.

  Marci : Oh. Sorry, Mimi.

• Dennis : Don't worry, Mimi. The worm isn't going to hurt you. Look at what it does when it crawls through the dirt. See how it moves it all around?

  Marci : Oh yeah. Kind of like it's plowing it.

  Dennis : That's why the earthworm is called nature's plow. The worm's crawl in. The worms crawl out. They move the nutrients all about.

• Dennis : The earthworm really is the gardener's best friend.

  Mimi : You've gotta be kidding. Worms help my flowers grow?

• Dennis : Do you have any idea what eh world would look like if there weren't any worms?

  Mimi : Hmm. Prettier?

  Dennis : I'm afraid not. Without worms, the flowers wouldn't get the nutrients they need and would shrivel up.
