[truck honking]

[very loud garbage truck noises]

LOTTA: [Groan]

LOTTA: Too loud!

[very loud garbage truck noises]

CARL: Hi Lotta.

LOTTA: Oh, hi Carl.

CARL: Whoa! Look at all those colorful cords! Almost as

CARL: colorful as my rainbow puffball collection. What is

CARL: all this stuff?

LOTTA: These are my musical instruments, and each color

LOTTA: cord hooks up to a different instrument.

CARL: Oh! So it's a musical instrument collection!

LOTTA: I never really thought of my instruments as a

LOTTA: collection before.

CARL: Sure, it's a collection. A great collection! Oh! You

CARL: should sort them by the kind of sound they make. OH!

CARL: Or maybe by how many buttons they have.

LOTTA: I'm sure sorting instruments can be fun, but

LOTTA: I'd much rather play music on them.

CARL: You can play music on ALL of these instruments?

LOTTA: Oh yes!

♪♪ [ Lotta's eletronic jams & can rhythm ♪]

CARL: Whoa! You're playing with your tail!

[♪]

LOTTA: I need to use my whole body to play these

LOTTA: instruments.

CARL: So that's what you needed cans from my can

CARL: collection for! I've never heard anything like that

CARL: before!

NICO: What's going on?

CARL: Lotta's playing one, two,

CARL: three, FOUR musical instruments all at

CARL: the same time. Lotta is a one fox band!

FORREST/ARUGULA/NICO: Wow!/Yay!/So cool!

SHELDON: That was sensational music making, Lotta.

LOTTA: Thanks, Sheldon! Thanks, everyone! I just hope

LOTTA: it's good enough for the Fuzzytown Music Maker

LOTTA: Championship.

FORREST: You're competing in the Fuzzytown Music Maker

FORREST: Championship? You're so lucky. Me and my nose

FORREST: flutes got taken out in the first round.

[♪ nose flutes screeching ]

Lotta:[shuddering]

[♪ nose flutes screeching ]

FORREST: Sorry, Lotta, didn't mean to be so loud.

LOTTA: That's okay. I'm sorry you didn't get in to the

LOTTA: championship, Forrest. But maybe if you practice

LOTTA: you'll do better next year.

ARUGULA: I think you're good enough to win the Music Maker

ARUGULA: Championship, Lotta!

LOTTA: Maybe, but I'm sure there will be lots of other

LOTTA: good music makers there too.

SHELDON: But you'll be the best. Plus we're going to

SHELDON: cheer you on!

FORREST: Yes! We can be Lotta Cheerleaders.

FORREST: Stomp your feet, clap your hands,

FORREST: Lotta is a one-fox band!

LOTTA: Whoa! That's a big cheer.

FORREST: You haven't seen anything yet. Our cheers will

FORREST: be the cheeriest!

LOTTA: You'll really come and cheer me on?

FORREST/NICO/ARUGULA/SHELDON: YEAH!

CARL: Um...I do like your music, Lotta, but I planned on

CARL: playing with my rainbow puffball collection.

SHELDON: Maybe you can bring your puffballs to the Music

SHELDON: Maker Championship?

CARL: Um, hmmm...

[♪ pondering ]

CARL: I believe I will go. After all, you probably want

CARL: all your friends around, hmm?

LOTTA: I sure do!

[crowd sounds, people talking]

LOTTA: Yellow cord goes here, pink one goes here...

FORREST: Lotta Cheerleaders! We need to work on our cheer!

FORREST: It goes like this...

FORREST: Give a cheer for Lotta Fox! Cheer real loud,

FORREST: Cause Lotta Rocks!

FORREST: Gotta, gotta, gotta - Cheer for Lotta!

FORREST: YAY!

SHELDON/ARUGULA/NICO: Give a cheer for Lotta Fox!

SHELDON/ARUGULA/NICO: Cheer real loud, cause Lotta rocks!

NICO: This isn't working.

SHELDON: What's wrong, Nico?

NICO: Cheerleaders need pom-poms! I refuse to cheer

NICO: without my pom-poms.

FORREST: Where are we going to find pom-poms?

SHELDON: Ooh! I see something that may help.

[♪]

SHELDON: Hey Carl, can we borrow some of your puffballs?

CARL: What for?

SHELDON: We need pom-poms for our cheer.

CARL: I don't know...my puffballs aren't really made

CARL: for cheering.

ARUGULA: Please?

CARL: I can see it probably would be more fun for you to

CARL: cheer with pom-poms. I guess it would be okay to use

CARL: them.

CARL: But please be careful with them.

SHELDON: Thanks, buddy!

NICO/ARUGULA: Thanks, Carl.

FORREST: Sweet! Thanks Carl! Woo-hoo!

MS. HUFFMAN: Welcome to the Fuzzytown Music Maker

MS. HUFFMAN: Championship!

[Crowd cheering]

MS. HUFFMAN: Musicians get ready!

LOTTA: Okay, Lotta, this is what you've been practicing

LOTTA: for.

[♪ punk rock ]

LOTTA: I don't like that sound.

[Crowd sounds]

[DJ scratching vinyl record]

LOTTA: That's kind of hurting my head.

MS. HUFFMAN: Fuzzytown! Put your paws together for...The

MS. HUFFMAN: Ectotherms!

[♪ punk rock ]

LOTTA: There are too many sounds!

FORREST/NICO/ARUGULA/SHELDON: Woo-hoo! Yay!

LOTTA: I need my headphones!

LOTTA: Oh no! My headphones! Where are they?!

[♪ punk rock ] [Crowd sounds]

CARL: Huh? Lotta?

NICO/ARUGULA/FORREST/SHELDON: Yay! Woo-hoo! Woo!

CARL: Does it seem like something's wrong with Lotta?

SHELDON: Uhh...I can't tell.

CARL: Something seems wrong. Maybe she's nervous about

CARL: playing in front of...

CARL: everyone?

ARUGULA: If she's nervous, we can cheer for her. To remind

ARUGULA: her, her friends are here with her.

FORREST: Yes! Come on, squad! Let's cheer for Lotta!

ALL TOGETHER: L-O-T-T-A! Give Lotta a big hooray! HOORAY!

ALL TOGETHER: HOOOO...

ALL TOGETHER: ...RAAAAAAAYYY!

LOTTA: Ohhh! I really need those headphones!

SHELDON: Do you think Lotta's okay?

CARL: Not at all! It looks like her head hurts!

ARUGULA: Hmm. Our cheer didn't work.

FORREST: What else can we do to help?

CARL: Hmm...Sometimes, my head hurts and I hold it like that

CARL: when I'm hungry.

NICO: So maybe Lotta is hungry?

CARL: We need to find her some food.

CARL: Ooh!

CARL: We can give her these Crispy Critter Chips!

FORREST: I'll take it from here!

[♪]

FORREST: Don't worry, Lotta, Crispy Critter Chips is on its

FORREST: way!

[♪]

FORREST: Whooaaa! Oof!

[♪]

[CRUNCH]

[♪]

[CRUNCH]

[♪]

[CRUNCH]

[♪]

FORREST: Lotta! Want a chip?

[♪]

FORREST: Can you hear me?

[♪]

MS. HUFFMAN: Give it up for The Ectotherms!

MS. HUFFMAN: Next up, we have...Jam Master Spray!

[DJ scratching records]

[♪]

FORREST: Lotta didn't want a chip!

SHELDON: Something is definitely wrong. But what?

CARL: Maybe she feels those cans aren't right for today's

CARL: performance?

NICO: What do you mean?

CARL: Well, when part of my collection isn't perfect,

CARL: sometimes it bugs me, and I have to replace it with

CARL: something else.

CARL: Like this puffball. It's not perfectly puffy. I really

CARL: should change it!

[♪]

CARL: There! That's the perfect amount of puffiness!

NICO: But...where are we going to find cans?

[♪]

CARL: There!

CARL: New cans coming your way, Lotta!

CARL: Don't worry, Lotta, I'm almost there!

[CRASH]

[Cand rattling]

LOTTA: Ohhh!

[cans crashing ]

LOTTA: Ohhh!

CARL: Lotta? Where are you, Lotta?

FORREST/NICO/ARUGULA/SHELDON: Lotta left the stage today,

FORREST/NICO/ARUGULA/SHELDON: We saw her going

FORREST/NICO/ARUGULA/SHELDON: that-a way!

[♪]

CARL: Lotta! You can go back onstage. It's okay, I found

CARL: different cans for your collection!

LOTTA: The cans are fine, Carl. But I really can't stay

LOTTA: here.

CARL: Lotta! Hey wait, Lotta?

CARL: On no! I don't know what to do! How can I help my

CARL: friend?

CARL: I need to collect my thoughts.

[♪]

CARL: When I feel nervous...

CARL: having friends around cheers me up.

[♪]

CARL: When I don't feel good cause I'm hungry...

[♪]

CARL: ...food helps me feel better.

[♪]

CARL: And when I don't feel good because my collection

CARL: isn't perfect...

CARL: ...a puffy puffball can cheer me right up.

[♪]

CARL: Those things help me when I feel bad, but why don't

CARL: they help Lotta?

CARL: Wait a minute! That's it! I'm not Lotta! If I want

CARL: to help Lotta feel better, I have to ask what's

CARL: bothering her !

CARL: Lotta! Wait! Don't go!

CARL: Maybe I can help you, but first I need to know

CARL: what's bothering you. Can you tell me what's wrong,

CARL: please?

LOTTA: It's too noisy here, and I can't find my

LOTTA: headphones. All the noise is too much. I have to

LOTTA: leave.

CARL: Oh! Well, maybe we can run back to your house and

CARL: look for them.

MS. HUFFMAN: Lotta Fox to the stage please?

LOTTA: There's no time! I'm supposed to be playing right

LOTTA: now.

CARL: There's gotta be something we can do.

LOTTA: Thanks but no, Carl. Nothing. I can't play with all

LOTTA: this noise.

CARL: So you just need something to make all the loud

CARL: noise quieter?

LOTTA: Yes! It's WAY too loud for me!

[♪]

[ding]

CARL: Ooh! I have an idea!

LOTTA: What is it?

CARL: Something to help lessen the noise for you!

MS. HUFFMAN: Last call for Lotta Fox! Lotta to the

MS. HUFFMAN: stage...

LOTTA: Do you think your idea will work, Carl?

CARL: I do!

LOTTA: Then I'm going to the stage. But...please hurry!

CARL: On it!

[DJ scratching records] [Crowd noise]

LOTTA: Ohhh! Where's Carl?

CARL: Lotta, here!

LOTTA: What's that?!

CARL: Earmuffs I made! By tying together my rainbow puffball

CARL: collection and two cans!

[♪] [Crowd sound]

♪ LOTTA: It works! It's much quieter!

[♪] [Crowd sound]

MS. HUFFMAN: Thank you, Jam Master Spray!

MS. HUFFMAN: And now...Heeeeeere's Lotta!

[sliding]

[crowd cheer]

[♪ Lotta's song ]

SHELDON: Love the puffball-can headphones, Carl old buddy!

SHELDON: How'd you figure out what was wrong?

CARL: I realized that what helps me might not help Lott,

CARL: so I asked her what she needed!

ARUGULA: Nice thinking, Carl! Now let's cheer for Lotta!

CARL: Okay! But MAYBE not so loud!

ALL TOGETHER: [whispering] Gotta-gotta-gotta-gotta

ALL TOGETHER: cheer for Lotta! Woo-hoo! Yeah! Go Lotta! You can do

ALL TOGETHER: this!

CARL: The Bottle Cap Collection

[night sounds]

CARL:[struggling grunt]

CARL:[grunt]Oh, my backpack is so heavy! Whoaaa!

[struggling]

CARL: One. Two. Three.

CARL: Hope I didn't mess up any of my collections!

SHELDON: This is Sheldon, calling for Carl. Come in,

SHELDON: Carl!

CARL: Go for Carl!

SHELDON: I'm so glad you're back, Carl old pal! I missed

SHELDON: you! How was the weekend at your dad's?

CARL: It was spectacular! We had dinner at a Chinese

CARL: restaurant, and do you know what that means?

SHELDON: You got a new fortune for your Fortune Cookie

SHELDON: Collection?

CARL: Yes!

[fortune cookie whistle]

SHELDON: Whoa, what does it say?

CARL: The universe smiles upon you.

SHELDON: Ohhh! That's deep.

CARL: I don't know what that means...But then we went to the

CARL: laundromat to do laundry, and I found big puffs

CARL: of lint in the dryer, so guess what I made?!

SHELDON: A lint dinosaur for your Lint Dinosaur Collection!

CARL: YES! I call it Lint-o-saurus Rex!

SHELDON: I made a lint dinosaur this weekend too!

SHELDON: It's a Tri-lint-otops! And I'm

SHELDON: donating it to your collection!

CARL: Awesome! Tomorrow after school we can play with the

CARL: WHOLE collection! ROOOOOOOAAAAR!

SHELDON: ROOOOAAAR!

CARL: ROOOOAAAAAR!

SHELDON: ROOOOOOOOAAAR!

CARL: ROOOOAAAAAR!

SHELDON: ROAR!

CARL: ROAR!

CARL'S MAMA: Alright, Carl. That's about enough dinosaur

CARL'S MAMA: roars for this evening. Time for bed, okay?

CARL: Okay, Mama!

CARL: I gotta go, Sheldon! See you tomorrow!

SHELDON: Goodnight, Carl old buddy! Over and out.

CARL: [yawn]

CARL: Time for sleep.

[♪]

CARL: OH NO!

[ ominous feeling ]

CARL: Oh no, no, no, no. No!

CARL: Augh!

[♪]

CARL: Where is it? It has to be here! It just has to!

CARL: SHELDON!

SHELDON: Ahhh! Eee..wha?

SHELDON: What is it, Carl?

CARL: Sorry to bother you late, Sheldon. But it's a real

CARL: Best-Buddy-Fuzzie- Talkie emergency!

SHELDON: What's the emergency?

CARL: I forgot my Bottle Cap Collection! My bestest bottle

CARL: of bottle caps is still at my dad's house!

SHELDON: [Yawn]

SHELDON: Oh! I'm so sorry. Well, maybe you should go to

SHELDON: sleep...so the morning will come quickly and you can

SHELDON: get your bottle cap collection back?

CARL: Ah, yes! That is a superb idea, Sheldon!

CARL: Operation Back-to-Sleep is underway!

SHELDON: Night, Carl!

[♪]

[ ominous feeling ]

CARL: Ahhh!

[ ominous feeling ]

CARL: Ahhh!

[♪]

CARL: Augh...I can't do this!

CARL: SHELDON! Come in Sheldon!

SHELDON: Ah! Wha-a-a...

SHELDON: What is it, Carl?

CARL: Operation Back-to-Sleep is a spectacular failure!

SHELDON: That's too bad, because I was totally back to

SHELDON: sleep! Snoring, dreaming, you name it, I was

SHELDON: sleeping it!

CARL: You're lucky, Sheldon! Because no matter what I do, I

CARL: can't fall asleep!

SHELDON: Why not?

CARL: Because there is an empty space on the shelf where

CARL: my bottle cap collection should be, and that empty

CARL: space makes me feel empty, Sheldon! I feel bad!

SHELDON: Well, maybe you can try and fill the space. Then,

SHELDON: you wouldn't notice your collection is missing and

SHELDON: you and I would both be able to...[snore]

CARL: Be able to what?!

SHELDON: Aah! SLEEP! We will both be able to sleep!

CARL: Hmm. That is a solid idea, Sheldon! Operation

CARL: Space-Filler is on!

[♪]

CARL: There!

[♪]

CARL: Now I can go to sleep.

[♪]

[ ominous feeling ]

CARL: No, I can't! That book is WAY too small for that

CARL: space!

CARL: What else can I use?

CARL: Mr. Elephant will fill it up nicely.

CARL: [straining]

[BANG, BANG, BANG]

[blink]

CARL: Not good! Not great! This is WAY too big!

CARL: Aha!

[♪]

CARL: That fits perfectly!

[♪]

CARL: Now I'll definitely fall asleep!

[♪]

[ ominous feeling ]

CARL: Oh, definitely not!

CARL: SHELDON!

CARL: COME IN SHELDON!

SHELDON: What now, Carl?

SHELDON: Oops! What now Carl?

CARL: Operation Space-Filler is a failure!

SHELDON: What went wrong this time?

CARL: I filled the space with something that's not my

CARL: Bestest Bottle of Bottle Caps.

CARL: And I still feel really, really bad!

SHELDON: Okay, I think I have an idea...

SHELDON: ...that will work...and once you do it, we will

SHELDON: both...both...

CARL: BOTH WHAT?!

SHELDON: Sleep! We will both sleep!

CARL: That's great! What's the idea?

SHELDON: You start a new bottle cap collection from the

SHELDON: bottle caps you find around your house.

CARL: Sheldon , that is a brilliant idea! Operation

CARL: Second Best Bottle of Bottle Caps is about to begin!

[♪]

CARL: Aha! I bet there are lots of bottle caps in there!

[♪]

CARL: Oof! It's too far down.

CARL: Still can't get it.

CARL: Whoa! Ow!

[♪]

CARL: Got it!

[♪]

CARL: Yow!

CARL: Not really collection-worthy, but I need

CARL: every cap I can find.

[♪]

CARL: Yes!

CARL: A button?! Awww...But I will put it in my button

CARL: collection.

CARL: There! A Second Best Bottle of Bottle Caps! Now I

CARL: can sleep.

[♪]

CARL: Aww! Who am I kidding? That is the Worst Bottle of

CARL: Bottle Caps!

CARL: Sheldon! Come in, Sheldon!

SHELDON: Ahh! What now, Carl?!

CARL: I'm sorry, Sheldon! I know I've been bothering you

CARL: all night.

SHELDON: It's okay, buddy! I'm here for you anytime.

SHELDON: Even :pm apparently! Let me just wake

SHELDON: myself up!

SHELDON: [jumping jack breaths]

[♪] [tap, tap]

[♪] [squeek, squeek, squeek, squeek]

[♪] [head shake]

SHELDON: Okay! Ready, what's going on?

CARL: I made another bottle cap collection but it's not

CARL: the same, and I still feel really, really, really

CARL: bad!

SHELDON: Whoa! What kind of really, really, really

SHELDON: bad feeling are we talking about?

CARL: I don't know what it is! But it feels big! And kind of

CARL: confusing!

SHELDON: I've felt stuff like that before, Carl. Tell me how

SHELDON: it feels and maybe I can help you figure it out.

CARL: I feel really, really, really bad because I want my

CARL: collection here in my room with me, but no matter

CARL: what I do, I can't have it!

SHELDON: I know that one. I felt the same way when I

SHELDON: wanted to see the movie "Chompin' : Electric

SHELDON: Beaveroo", but it wasn't playing anywhere in

SHELDON: Fuzzytown!

CARL: How is that the same as what I'm feeling?

SHELDON: Well, I really wanted to see the movie, but there

SHELDON: was nothing I could do about it, just like there's

SHELDON: nothing you can do about your bottle cap

SHELDON: collection. And that made me feel frustrated.

CARL: Yes, that's it! I'm frustrated! I'm very

CARL: frustrated with myself because I forgot my Bestest

CARL: Bottle of Bottle Caps, and there's nothing I can do

CARL: to get them back!

SHELDON: Sorry, buddy. Is there anything that would make

SHELDON: you feel better?

CARL: Hmm. I think I'd be less frustrated if I knew I'd

CARL: never forget a collection again.

SHELDON: Hey! Maybe we can think of something to help

SHELDON: with that.

CARL: That's a great idea! Let me collect my thoughts!

CARL: How can I make sure I never forget one of my

CARL: precious collections again?

[♪ collecting thoughts jam ]

[♪]

CARL: Ooh! Maybe I can tie all my collections around me, so

CARL: they're always there with me.

CARL: On second thought...that might be too bulky.

CARL: [Sigh]

[♪]

CARL: Ahh! I know! I love to make lists!

CARL: Yes! I can make a checklist of all my

CARL: collections that I take to my dad's! This way I can

CARL: check each one off as I pack my bag to go back to

CARL: Mama's house.

SHELDON: Awesome idea, Carl. Then you won't ever forget a

SHELDON: a collection again.[yawn]

SHELDON: Now we sleep! G'nite, Carl!

[ ominous feeling ]

SHELDON: [Sleeping]

CARL: Sheldon.

SHELDON: Yes, Carl?

CARL: I thought I was just feeling one thing...but I think

CARL: I feel another feeling too!

SHELDON: I get that.

SHELDON: Like right now, I feel like I really want to

SHELDON: help you, but I also feel like I really want to

SHELDON: sleep.

CARL: And I don't just feel frustrated.

CARL: I feel that my Bestest Bottle of Bottle Caps may not

CARL: be safe, because I'm not there to take care if it.

[♪]

CARL: I'm feeling...I'm feeling...worried.

CARL: I'm frustrated and I'm worried!

SHELDON: Those are two big feelings! What would make you

SHELDON: feel better?

CARL: If I knew my bottle caps were safe.

SHELDON: Is there any way to do that?

CARL: Ooh! Yes! I have an idea. Thanks, Sheldon!

SHELDON: Good luck, Carl.

CARL: Mama! Come in, Mama! Over.

CARL'S MAMA: Mama here! You need a drink of water, Carl?

CARL'S MAMA: Over.

CARL: It's something else and it's important. Over.

CARL'S MAMA: Ten-four, good buddy. Over and out.

HAROLD: I didn't even know they were here. But here they

HAROLD: are! And each and every bottle cap is safe and

HAROLD: sound.

CARL: Ahh, thanks Dad! That makes me feel a LOT better!

HAROLD: You got it, Carl! And don't you worry, I'll keep

HAROLD: them safe and bring them back to you in the

HAROLD: morning. Sleep well, Carl. Love you, buddy.

CARL: Love you, Dad!

CARL'S MAMA: There. Feeling better, Carl?

CARL: Much! Thanks, Mama!

CARL'S MAMA: You're welcome, love. Goodnight. [kiss]

SHELDON: This is Sheldon, calling for Carl. Come in,

SHELDON: Carl! How you feeling, buddy?

CARL: Operation Sleepytime is a...

CARL: [sigh]

SHELDON: [whispering] You're welcome, best pal! Goodnight!
