CARL: And now...I, The Amazing Carldini, will have

CARL: my assistant, Arugula The Great...

CARL: pick one seed from this...

CARL: zinnia seed pouch!

[Crowd gasp and chatting] [♪]

ARUGULA: I've got it! One seed.

CARL: You might expect only ONE flower to grow from one

CARL: seed. But not with the power of magic!

CARL: Presto Carl-blam-o!

LOTTA: Whoaaaaa!

FORREST: Beeeeeautiful!

SHELDON: No way!

FORREST: I just LOVE magic!

[♪ Magic Jam ]

CARL: The Amazing Carldini and Arugula The Great will be back

CARL: with our next show tomorrow! Same time, same

CARL: place, different tricks!

[♪]

CARL: Cannot wait, Arugula the Great!

ARUGULA: [forcing a rhyme] It's ma-gic-iAN?

[♪]

Arugula: [♪ Humming ]

ARUGULA: Huh?

NICO: Arugula! Check out my new magic set! You know I've

NICO: been wanting one for so long, and I finally saved up

NICO: enough in my Bunny Bank to

NICO: I'm going to call myself Nico The Magnifico! I'm going

NICO: to learn how every trick is done! And best of all? YOU

NICO: can be MY assistant!

ARUGULA: Oh. But, I'm already Carl's assistant. And I'm a

ARUGULA: little magic'd out after today's show.

NICO: But you're MY sister. I knew you first! We were born

NICO: only seven minutes apart. I need your help!

ARUGULA: Well, okay. I can help you get started.

ARUGULA: But tomorrow I gotta go

ARUGULA: assistant again.

NICO: If we practice really hard, we can start putting

NICO: on shows together! Soon!

ARUGULA: This is gonna be a lot of magic.

[♪ Magic Trick Jam ]

NICO: Ugh!

[♪]

[♪]

Nico: [Shuffling cards] [♪]

[Playing Cards falling to the fl [♪]

[♪]

Nico: [Yawning] [♪]

[♪]

ARUGULA: [snoring]

ARUGULA: [snoring]

NICO: SUCCESS!

NICO: I think Nico The Magnifico

NICO: finally got it!

ARUGULA: Phew! Good timing.

ARUGULA: [Yawning]

ARUGULA: It's time for Carl's magic show, and I gotta be

ARUGULA: there to help assist.

NICO: But Nico the Magnifico can't have a magic act without

NICO: her sister! You're not just my assistant, you're my

NICO: a-sister!

ARUGULA: Yes, but well...I was Carl's assistant first. And I

ARUGULA: promised him I'd be there today.

NICO: Hmph.

ARUGULA: Maybe I can be both your assistants? I'll come

ARUGULA: right back after the show, and you and I can keep

ARUGULA: practicing.

ARUGULA: Okay! Be back soon! Keep practicing! Love you!

ARUGULA: Bye!

NICO: Aww...

CARL: Now, I, The Amazing Carldini, will wave my wand,

CARL: and say the magic words! Presto Carl-blamo!

[poof of smoke]

ARUGULA: [yawn]

CARL: Now it's a finale!

[Clapping] [♪]

LOTTA/SHELDON/FORREST: Yay!/Brav Encore!

CARL: Thank you, thank you everyone. I, The Amazing

CARL: Carldini, and Arugula The Great, will be back

CARL: tomorrow with more magic!

ARUGULA: Wait, what?

Nico: [Clapping]

NICO: Um...the thing is, Carl, tomorrow Arugula the

NICO: Great will be my assistant.

ARUGULA: Wait. We should really discuss -

CARL: Your assistant?!

NICO: Yes! I, too, am a magician. Nico The Magnifico.

NICO: And I, too, will be doing a magic show at the

NICO: bandstand!

CARL: But Arugula the Great was MY assistant first!

NICO: But she was my sister before that. Isn't that right,

NICO: Arugula?

ARUGULA: Uh, well, yes. You're both right. I was

ARUGULA: Carl's assistant first

ARUGULA: and I was your sister

ARUGULA: before that. But there's no need to get upset!

CARL: Yes. There. Is.

ARUGULA: No! No, really - I have

ARUGULA: I can be both your assi

CARL: I don't see how that could work! I need an

CARL: assistant to help me all the time!

NICO: So do I! It's not a magic show without an

NICO: assistant!

ARUGULA: Don't worry! I can be there for everyone!

ARUGULA: You'll see. You'll see.

NICO: Hmph. We'll see.

CARL: Yes.

ARUGULA: [gulp]

[♪]

SHELDON: Can you believe we get to see TWO magic shows

SHELDON: today?

LOTTA: It's...like magic!

FORREST: I love magic. I love magic. I have to say it twice.

FORREST: One time for each of them.

NICO: Good luck in this Magical Magic-Off today, Carl.

NICO: May the best wizard win!

CARL: A magician and a wizard are not the same thing, Nico.

CARL: You might know that if you real magician.

CARL: Good luck.

ARUGULA: Wait! This is a competition now?!

ARUGULA: Good luck to you both.

ARUGULA: ...and to me. Heh...

CARL: For my first trick, I, The Carldini, with

CARL: the help of my assistant, Arugula The Great -

ARUGULA: [realizing Carl needs her] Oh!

CARL: - will make this card float in mid-air!

CARL: Presto Carl-blam-o!

CROWD: [applause]

[♪ Magic Competition Jam ]

NICO: And now I, Nico The Magnifico, with the help of my

NICO: assistant, Arugula The Great -

ARUGULA: Oh!

CARL: [Grunt & Stimming]

NICO: - will make a quarter disappear. Arugula?

NICO: Now I say the magic words. Nico Change-O!

NICO: The quarter is gone!

CROWD: [applause]

FORREST: That gets me every time!

[♪]

CARL: For my next trick...

CARL: We'll make the crayons in this disappear. Presto

CARL: Carl-blam-o!

[ Poof of smoke]

CROWD: [applause]

NICO: Oh...hmph.

NICO: And now, with a wave of my wand...

NICO: The ring has vanished!

FORREST: I could watch this all day!

[Crowd clapping] [♪]

[♪]

ARUGULA: [yawn]

LOTTA: Incredible!

FORREST: There's magic in the air! Literally!

SHELDON: How did he DO that?!

NICO: Ahem! And for my last trick...

NICO: If you would be so kind, please step inside the box.

ARUGULA: [exhausted] Okay.

NICO: Now I say the magic words...Nico Change-O!

CROWD: [GASP]

SHELDON: Whoah!

LOTTA: Amazing!

FORREST: Next-level magic!

CARL: [stimming] Hmph.

NICO: Thank you, thank you, everyone. And now...let's

NICO: close the curtain, and bring Arugula The Great back

NICO: again!

NICO: Nico Change-o!

CROWD: [GASP]

FORREST: Woo-hoo! No way!

NICO: Ahem...Uh, I said...NICO CHANGE-O!

CARL: Here. Let a REAL magician do it!

CARL: PRESTO Carl-blam-o! Arugula The Great, REAPPEAR!

NICO: Mmm...is that what a REAL magician can do?

CARL: Nico, I think Arugula has vanished! For real!

FORREST: That was RAD! Way to make the magic!

NICO: We have to find Arugula!

CARL: Yes, she's my assistant!

NICO: And my sister! Let's search for her everywhere.

NICO: We can do this together.

[Magical Ding]

[♪ Arugula Search Jam ]

[Frog noise]

[♪]

NICO: [Sigh]

[♪]

NICO: Carl, I feel like this is all my fault. I shouldn't

NICO: have made Arugula feel like she had to be my

NICO: assistant. She...was your assistant first.

CARL: But I can see why you wanted her to be your

CARL: assistant, too! She's the greatest.

NICO: Everyone wants her help, I guess.

CARL: I know! If only we had two

NICO: Right now, I wish we just had one. I wish it so

NICO: much.

CARL/NICO: Arugula!/Ru-Ru!

ARUGULA: Hi.

CARL: Where were you?

NICO: We were so worried!

CARL: How did you make yourself disappear?

ARUGULA: Magicians never reveal their secrets. And

ARUGULA: neither do magicians' assistants. But I don't want to

ARUGULA: be a magician, so I'll tell you! I opened the

ARUGULA: back of the box and walked home.

CARL/NICO: Ohhh!

NICO: Wait, you don't want to do magic anymore?

ARUGULA: No. I've had enough magic-assisting for a while.

ARUGULA: At first, I thought I could be BOTH your assistants.

ARUGULA: But after a while, I felt squished in the middle.

ARUGULA: Like the lettuce in a lettuce sandwich.

NICO: I'm sorry I made you feel that way, sis.

CARL: And I'm sorry I made you feel that way too,

CARL: Arugula.

ARUGULA: It's okay. I should have told you how I felt,

ARUGULA: instead of disappearing. I just didn't

ARUGULA: want to let you down! But from now on, I'll try to

ARUGULA: say how I feel when I'm feeling those feelings.

NICO: And I will try to ask what

CARL: I should have asked you, too, Arugula.

ARUGULA: Thank you. At least you

CARL: I don't know how The Amazing Carldini will perform

CARL: without an assistant...

ARUGULA: I do have an idea! Both of you are such good

ARUGULA: magicians - what if you worked together?

CARL: Nico would become my assistant.

CARL: I mean, you do look alike...

NICO: No, Carl! We could become partners! We could

NICO: combine our acts, and help each other!

ARUGULA: Exactly!

CARL: Oh! Well, we did work well together when we were

CARL: trying to find Arugula. Maybe it could work?

NICO: Do you wanna try it, Carl? Tomorrow? Same place,

NICO: same time, double the magic?

CARL: Yes.

ARUGULA: I'll be there in the front row, cheering for you

ARUGULA: both!

CARL: Then let's do this!

CARL/NICO: Abracadabra!

FORREST: I love magic. I love magic!

Arugula: [giggling]

[♪]

CARL: Listen Coach

[♪]

[♪]

CARL: Megaphones make my voice loud!

[Door Opens]

MAMA: Carl, don't forget to clean your room today!

CARL: Did you know the first megaphone is thought to have

CARL: been invented over years ago?

MAMA: Uh, Carl, are you even listening to me?

CARL: Of course, I'm listening. You said something

CARL: about megaphones.

MAMA: No, see, I was actually reminding you to clean your

MAMA: room!

CARL: Okay, Mama! But can I get a little more time with my

CARL: megaphone collection?

MAMA: more minutes.

CARL: THANKS MAMA!

[♪]

CARL: Arugula! Want to try my awesome megaphone collection?

ARUGULA: That is an awesome collection, but Nico and I had

ARUGULA: a bad argument, and I'm pretty sad about it.

CARL: You really should try it! Megaphones can help one

CARL: person speak to a whole, huge crowd!

ARUGULA: Thanks, but I don't need to speak to a huge crowd.

ARUGULA: I want to tell you about me and Nico and our

ARUGULA: fight.

CARL: You're not going to want to miss an opportunity to use

CARL: a megaphone like this!

ARUGULA: You're not being a very listener right now,

ARUGULA: Carl!

FORREST: [Squishing foot steps]

CARL: Hey Forrest! Did you know that some megaphones can

CARL: change the sound of your voice?

[Click]

CARL: This one makes my voice sound high.

FORREST: That's funny, Carl, but not use it right

FORREST: now?

CARL: Why are you walking like that, Forrest?

FORREST: Something happened that's embarrassing...and I

FORREST: don't want anyone else to know about it.

[Click]

CARL: What happened?

FORREST: [Squishing foot steps]

FORREST: [inaudible whispers]

CARL: YOU SPILLED POTATO SALAD IN YOUR SOCKS?!

[Bike bell ringing]

[♪]

FORREST: Carl! I told you! I didn't want anyone else to

FORREST: know! Were you even listening?!

CARL: [grumpy] Why does

CARL: everyone think I'm not listening today?!

SHELDON: Mmm. Is that potato salad I smell? Who thinks

SHELDON: you're not listening, Carl?

CARL: My mom. Arugula. Forrest. Everyone!

SHELDON: Why do you think they think that?

CARL: Let me collect my thoughts...

[♪ Collecting Thoughts Jam ]

CARL: My mom and my friends were trying to tell me

CARL: stuff...

[♪]

CARL: But I was busy playing with my megaphone collection!

CARL: And when I'm playing with an awesome collection,

CARL: it's hard for me to focus on anything else

[♪]

CARL: Maybe I do have trouble listening!

SHELDON: That happens to me too! Luckily, my mom is my

SHELDON: listening coach. I call her Coach Mom! And she

SHELDON: taught me some great tricks to help me listen when

SHELDON: I'm distracted.

CARL: Oh! Maybe you can teach them to me, and be my listening

CARL: coach. Coach Sheldon!

SHELDON: Oh! I like the way that sounds. Is it okay if I

SHELDON: get some of my family to help?

CARL: I don't mind!

SHELDON: Good! Then let's get listening!

[whistle shriek]

SHELDON: Coach Mom taught me that a good listener hears

SHELDON: what people are saying, and shows them they

SHELDON: understand.

CARL: Coach Sheldon, what am I supposed to do to make sure

CARL: that I'm listening and understanding?

SHELDON: You say something like, "“so what you're saying

SHELDON: is..."” and then, repeat back what you heard to

SHELDON: make sure it's correct!

CARL: Got it!

SHELDON: Our next lesson is body listening, where you

SHELDON: listen with more than your ears.

CARL: But my ears are the only parts of me that can actually

CARL: hear anything!

SHELDON: True. But there are other things you can do with

SHELDON: your body to let someone know you are

SHELDON: listening.

SHELDON: Let's try it out. Now here to share a story is my

SHELDON: cousin Brittany Beaver!

[whistle shriek]

BRITTANY: You are so going to want to listen to this story!

BRITTANY: Six months ago, I was going to do a stellar

BRITTANY: performance with my awesomely, amazing school

BRITTANY: orchestra...

BRITTANY: Carl, are you paying attention?

CARL: You can't tell?

CARL: What do I do with my body to show I'm paying

CARL: attention, Coach Sheldon?

SHELDON: You can look at Brittany to let her know

SHELDON: you're listening and paying attention.

[♪]

CARL: [gasp]

[♪]

CARL: Sometimes it's hard for me look in someone's eyes.

SHELDON: Oh, that's good to know. Okay! No eye contact.

SHELDON: But you could turn more towards her, and lean in.

CARL: Right!

BRITTANY: Okay! We were about to start the amazing concert,

BRITTANY: but when I opened up my French horn

BRITTANY: case...my French horn was missing!

BRITTANY: Carl? Did you even hear what I said?

CARL: What do I do, Coach Sheldon? How do I show

CARL: Brittany I'm listening with my body?

SHELDON: According to Coach Mom, it helps to imagine how

SHELDON: the other person is feeling, and then let that

SHELDON: emotion show. Also, shake your head yes or no when

SHELDON: you're listening.

CARL: Ooh! Maybe I can imagine myself in Brittany's place.

[♪]

CARL: To see how she felt when she opened her French horn

CARL: case...

[♪]

CARL: Opening my case and not having my instrument right

CARL: before a concert would make me upset!

BRITTANY: You shaking your head no, and your super

BRITTANY: concerned look shows me you're listening! Okay, I

BRITTANY: started looking around the school. And soon, I

BRITTANY: found my French horn! It turns out the school

BRITTANY: gerbil had just borrowed it to take a nap in.

CARL: Hold on a second, Brittany. I just want to

CARL: imagine how that felt!

CARL: A gerbil in a French horn is hilarious!

CARL: [giggling]

BRITTANY: You ARE listening!

SHELDON: Great job listening with your body, Carl!

[High Five]

SHELDON: And now I have one last lesson to show you!

[whistle shriek]

[♪]

CARL: Why are you putting all these amazing things around,

CARL: Coach?

SHELDON: We're pretending that someone has an important story

SHELDON: to share, Carl! Your mission is: to listen to the

SHELDON: story and not be distracted as you walk by all

SHELDON: these amazing things.

CARL: How am I possibly gonna do

SHELDON: When you feel like you're getting distracted,

SHELDON: you're going to do something to help you

SHELDON: concentrate. It's called Distraction Action!

CARL: Got it!

SHELDON: Now, here to tell you a story, is the greatest

SHELDON: listening coach in the world! Coach Mom!

COACH MOM: Yee-haw!

SHELDON/COACH MOM: Let's play Distraction Action!

COACH MOM: Last summer, I took a to the Wavy Wave

COACH MOM: Point to do some surf

CARL: Ooh! Look at that yo-yo! It's so shiny! I want to play

CARL: with it. What do I do, Coach Sheldon?

SHELDON: Try turning your head from the yo-yo, and facing

SHELDON: Coach Mom.

CARL [Stimming]: [uncomfortable

COACH MOM: I was in the water, and a HUGE wave was coming

COACH MOM: right towards me!

CARL: Ooh! Is that the FZ- Shout Module?

SHELDON: Do an action, Carl! So you can focus!

CARL: [inner voice] Focus. Focus

CARL: [inner voice] That's a rea nice megaphone.

CARL: [inner voice] So shiny.

SHELDON: You're getting distracted, Carl! Take action!

CARL: [inner voice] C'mon, Carl, think. Think.

CARL: Nothing is working, Coach Sheldon! What do I do?

CARL: What do I do?

SHELDON: This is a tough one! What does he do, Coach Mom?

COACH MOM: Well, it's always helpful to use your words,

COACH MOM: Carl.

SHELDON: Oh right! If you feel like you can't listen right

SHELDON: now, explain what you're feeling and what you

SHELDON: need to do to be able to pay attention again.

CARL: Okay! I'll try! Coach Mom, that FZ- megaphon

CARL: distracting me. Can you pause your story for a minute

CARL: so I can investigate and restart when I'm ready to

CARL: listen?

COACH MOM: Of course, I can.

CARL: [excited gasp]

[♪]

CARL: Testing , , !

♪♪

CARL: There! Now I'm ready to pay attention again!

COACH MOM: The huge wave was coming, but...

[♪]

COACH MOM: I hopped on my surfboard and rode it all the

COACH MOM: way to shore!

[♪]

CARL: All the way to shore! Amazing story!

SHELDON: You did it, Carl! You were able to listen without

SHELDON: being distracted!

CARL: Now I'm ready to show my friends what a good

CARL: listener I am! Thanks, Coaches!

[♪]

CARL: Arugula, I've been working on my listening skills

CARL: and I'm ready to listen to your story now. Why are you

CARL: so sad?

ARUGULA: Because Nico thinks I borrowed her favorite gold

ARUGULA: crayon and broke it. But I didn't!

CARL: Let me see if I understand.

[♪]

CARL: Nico thinks you broke her favorite crayon.

[♪]

CARL: But you didn't even borrow

ARUGULA: Yes, and she yelled at me and that made me feel

ARUGULA: really bad.

CARL: I wouldn't like it either if someone said I did

CARL: something I didn't do, then yelled at me for it.

ARUGULA: Thanks for really listening, Carl. I feel a

ARUGULA: little better now.

FORREST: [squishing when walking

CARL: Forrest, I'm ready to listen now.

CARL: Forrest, I'm ready to listen now.

FORREST: Okay, but I'm still so embarrassed! You see, I was

FORREST: having lunch this afternoon...

CARL: I'm listening.

FORREST: So my mom had made my favorite potato salad and I

FORREST: was about to have a big when...the potato

FORREST: salad scoop slipped off

CARL: [inner voice] Oh boy! Look at those shiny, shiny

CARL: [inner voice] wrenches! Need a new Distraction Action!

CARL: [inner voice] What do I do? What do I do?

CARL: I'm sorry, Forrest, I'm distracted by these shiny

CARL: wrenches. Can you pause your story for a moment until

CARL: I can listen again?

FORREST: Oh! Okay, sure!

CARL: [deep breath in and out]

CARL: There. Now I can listen again.

FORREST: And, the potato salad scoop slipped off my

FORREST: spoon and it landed right in my socks!

CARL: I would NOT like having squishy salad in my socks,

CARL: Forrest. But I have something that might help!

[♪]

[Squishy sound]

[♪]

CARL: How are the socks?

FORREST: A little big, but potat

FORREST: feel embarrassed anymore! In fact, I think I'm

FORREST: ready to share this story with the world.

[♪]

FORREST: My name is Forrest, and I spilled potato salad in

FORREST: my socks!

CARL/FORREST: [giggling]

FORREST: Want to play megaphones

CARL: Yes!

CARL: But first, I promised my mama I'd clean my room.

FORREST: I can help!

CARL: Let's do it!

FORREST: Woo hoo!

CARL/FORREST: [Giggle]
