[whistle shriek]

FUZZY FRIENDS: [giggling]

FORREST: Forrest breaks away from the pack...

FORREST: he has his sights set on Arugula! Can he catch

FORREST: her? Of course he can!

FORREST: Forrest is now in the lead! The Sack Race

FORREST: Championship is all but

FORREST: Down goes Forrest! Down goes Forrest!

FUZZY FRIENDS: [giggling]

FORREST: Ow.

FORREST: I was going to win if I didn't trip over this one

FORREST: soda can! Nuts!

CARL: It's actually not just one

CARL: I'd say well over cans.

CARL: Look at all this litter...

LOTTA: There was a music festival in the park

LOTTA: yesterday...

LOTTA: I bet that's where all this trash came from!

SHELDON: Must've been some music

LOTTA: I just really hate trash! So gross and sticky.

LOTTA: Ew!

[♪]

SHELDON: Let me help!

[♪]

SHELDON: Huh?

SHELDON: [Struggle sounds]

SHELDON: [sigh]

SHELDON: Oh, come on.

SHELDON: [Struggle sounds]

SHELDON: Oh, boy.

CARL: Hold still, Sheldon.

CARL: Problem solved.

SHELDON: Thanks, buddy.

MIMI TOOTS: Hey guys!

ALL TOGETHER: Hey, Mimi!

MIMI TOOTS: I was gonna have my picnic and piccolo practice here

MIMI TOOTS: but ew! So much garbage!

NICO: Mimi Toots is right! There are still problems here,

NICO: Carl. This litter is such a bummer.

SHELDON: It's not so fun to be at the park when it looks like

SHELDON: this.

ARUGULA: ooh, hey! Maybe we can collect all this trash?

CARL: Trash is a weird thing to collect. Where are you

CARL: going to keep it? In your room?!

ARUGULA: No! We'd be collecting trash to get rid of

ARUGULA: it, not keep it!

CARL: Interesting! Collecting something that you don't keep.

CARL: I've never done that before.

SHELDON: Let's collect the trash!

ALL TOGETHER: Yeah!/Woohoo!/Yes!

FORREST: Hey! What if we turn it into a game? Whoever

FORREST: collects the most litter, wins!

NICO: I don't think that is the point of this, Forrest.

ARUGULA: Yeah, we all just want to clean up the park.

LOTTA/SHELDON/ARUGULA/CARL: Yes!/Yay!/Let's do it!

CARL: Hold on! I think we'll need a few things, like

CARL: gloves, more bags, and grabbers to pick up the trash.

CARL: Be right back

LOTTA: The trash smells are bothering me. I'm going to run

LOTTA: home and get a mask.

FORREST: Well, I think it should be a contest. And I'm

FORREST: not gonna lose another competition today!

[♪]

[Picking up garbage sounds]

SHELDON: Thanks for helping us, Ms. Carl's Mom!

CARL'S MAMA: Of course! I can't believe the

CARL'S MAMA: festival-goers left so much trash! I wonder

CARL'S MAMA: who they thought was going to clean up after

CARL'S MAMA: them.

FORREST: He dribbles down the court with lightning speed!

FORREST: And goes for the dunk!

FORREST: Touchdown! The crowd goes wild!

LOTTA: Ew...

[♪]

LOTTA: This is yucky!

LOTTA: I mean, the trash can is right there. And the hot

LOTTA: dog eater didn't even walk ten feet to throw it

LOTTA: away!

NICO: Can you believe all this trash was just left here?

NICO: That's not being a very good neighbor!

LOTTA/NICO: Ew!/Eugh!

ARUGULA: [Panting]

ARUGULA: I filled a trash bag!

FORREST: Me too!

CARL'S MAMA: [gasp] Two bags of garbage! Wonderful! Please

CARL'S MAMA: empty them over here, okay?

[Garbage falling]

FORREST: And I will collect more, Arugula. I am not losing

FORREST: another contest today!

ARUGULA: But - but I'm not part of your contest, Forrest!

[♪]

CARL'S MAMA: So, now, we need to

CARL'S MAMA: the other litter.

CARL: Sorting this one pile into two piles? I really love

CARL: sorting, Mama!

CARL'S MAMA: And then, on Tuesday, the garbage and

CARL'S MAMA: recycling trucks will come and collect it all!

CARL'S MAMA: And you know what? When these plastic

CARL'S MAMA: bottles are recycled, Carl, they'll be

CARL'S MAMA: turned into something new like a fleece

CARL'S MAMA: jacket!

CARL: Okay, Mama. Now back to sorting. Here's one soda can.

CARL: Here's two...

LILAH: Ew!

LILAH: I don't want to play catch here, Uncle B...

MR. BARNABY: I know, honey, look at all this garbage!

CARL: Never fear, Mr. Barnaby, because my friends and I are

CARL: cleaning up the park! For park lovers everywhere!

MR. BARNABY: That is amazing, Carl!

CARL: Thank you. My friends are picking up the trash now,

CARL: and my mom and I are sorting them into two piles,

CARL: garbage and recycling.

MR. BARNABY: Hmm. With that boot, you could start

MR. BARNABY: another sorting pile.

CARL: A third pile?!

MR. BARNABY: Yes! A pile of things that will still be used

MR. BARNABY: for something, even if it isn't what they

MR. BARNABY: were originally used for. It's called

MR. BARNABY: upcycling.

MR. BARNABY: Like this old ice cream container from my ice

MR. BARNABY: cream truck. This was garbage, but I cleaned it

MR. BARNABY: out, we decorated it...

LILAH: And now, we use it to carry our baseball stuff!

CARL'S MAMA: Great idea! And that boot, hmm...Oh, I know!

CARL'S MAMA: I can use it in the I can put holes in

CARL'S MAMA: the soles, fill it with soil, and plant

CARL'S MAMA: flowers in it!

CARL: Plant flowers in a boot? Very interesting.

CARL'S MAMA: That's right! The more we reuse, the less trash

CARL'S MAMA: we make. And then we don't have to buy as many

CARL'S MAMA: new things, either!

CARL: Well, this ALL is better for me, because now I have even

CARL: MORE to sort!

MR. BARNABY: I'll go get some work gloves for us so we can

MR. BARNABY: help pick up the litter.

LILAH: Great idea, Uncle B! The sooner this park is clean,

LILAH: the sooner we can play some catch!

[♪]

CARL: One garden boot coming right up, Mama!

FORREST: Boom! Another bag for sorting. I am so gonna win!

[♪]

FORREST: Another bag of litter from me! I'm in the lead!

ARUGULA/SHELDON/LOTTA: It's not a contest, Forrest!

LOTTA: Wow! Gold bottle caps! These are too cool to throw

LOTTA: away...

PUNK TURTLE : Like, I know I lost my lucky guitar pick

PUNK TURTLE : Whoa. I didn't realize our fans made such a

PUNK TURTLE : to come back and clean this place up!

PUNK TURTLE : Fans! Meet us back at the park! Need help

PUNK TURTLE : cleaning up your mess!

PUNK TURTLE : Hey, let's help these kids. It'll be better

CARL: Hello, Punk Turtles! Thank you for helping! We have

CARL: three piles of litter over One is garbage.

CARL: One is recycling. And one is for upcycling .

CARL: The Button Collection

[♪]

CARL'S MAMA: There you go!

CARL'S MAMA: One blue plate, Carl!

[♪]

CARL: One blue plate, check!

[♪]

[shiny ding]

CARL: That is the third piece of pottery you have sold

CARL: so far.

CARL'S MAMA: And I appreciate you keeping track, Carl!

CARL: Mmmhmm. You have also sold four black and white

CARL: bowls. Plus, two yellow mugs, one fuchsia mug, and one

CARL: sort of brownish plate.

SHELDON: Finally! There you are! I looked under three

SHELDON: other tables of pottery! I thought I'd never

SHELDON: find you.

CARL: Hello Sheldon!

CARL'S MAMA: Thank you for stopping by Sheldon!

SHELDON: Hi, Mrs. Carl's Mom! Ooh! Did you make ALL of

SHELDON: these?

CARL: She did!

CARL'S MAMA: I did!

SHELDON: There are so many! And they're all so different!

CARL'S MAMA: Each is one of a kind, made by these paws!

CARL: Different, but with simila things about them.

CARL: There are bowls, plates, and mugs in eight different

CARL: colors and eleven different designs.

CARL: And see how these are both bowls with spirals, but

CARL: that bowl has green spirals and that one has

CARL: fuchsia spirals?

[♪]

SHELDON: Ooh, I like that one! With the yellow zigzags!

CARL'S MAMA: Go ahead, honey...

SHELDON: I want to give my mom a present for her birthday

SHELDON: tomorrow, and the zigzags remind me of the

SHELDON: letter M, for mom!

CARL: They DO look like M's!

SHELDON: And - her favorite color is yellow! This is the

SHELDON: perfect present!

CARL'S MAMA: Funny you should say it's perfect.

CARL: Why is that funny?

CARL'S MAMA: The zigzags were actually a mistake!

[♪]

CARL'S MAMA: When I was painting I kind of got

CARL'S MAMA: accidentally distracted -

CARL'S MAMA: and made a zigzag. But you know, I liked

CARL'S MAMA: how it looked...so, painted more zigzags to

CARL'S MAMA: match!

[♪]

SHELDON: Really?

CARL: You never told me you make mistakes, Mama.

CARL'S MAMA: [laugh] Oh Carl, everyone makes mistakes!

SHELDON: My mom's right over there! I don't want her to see

SHELDON: the mug.

COACH MOM: Hi kids!

SHELDON: Phew! That was a close one.

CARL: Okay, we need a plan. A secret plan!

[♪]

CARL: Step one, I take the yellow zigzag mug back home

CARL: with me.

SHELDON: And...?

CARL: Step two, you come pick it at our house later! Then

CARL: your mom will not see, see?

SHELDON: I see, I see! Let's do it!

CARL/SHELDON: [Secret hand shake

CARL/SHELDON: [giggles]/yeah!

CARL: I will take extra special care of it for you.

[Table bump and glass rattle]

CARL: I promise!

CARL'S MAMA: You know, that was the most I've sold at a

CARL'S MAMA: craft fair yet!

CARL: And there is one more. I just have to take it home for

CARL: Sheldon!

CARL'S MAMA: Oh, here let me wrap Sheldon's mug with the

CARL'S MAMA: other things going home in the box.

CARL: I promised Sheldon I would special care of it.

CARL'S MAMA: Well, it'll be much safer wrapped up in the

CARL'S MAMA: box...

CARL: As his best friend, I must personally take care of

CARL: the mug until Sheldon picks it up!

[♪]

CARL'S MAMA: Let's take our stuff through the back door,

CARL'S MAMA: okay?

CARL: Okay, Mama!

[♪]

[Glass Shatter]

CARL: OH NO! How could I dothat?!

CARL'S MAMA: Oh, Carl...

CARL: I am the worst friend in the world! Sheldon won't have

CARL: a present for his mom... and it is all my fault!

[♪]

CARL: How could I just drop it?! It was my idea to take

CARL: care of the mug in the first place, as best friend...I

CARL: wish I could go back and do it over.

[♪]

FORREST: Two hands, one door handle. Sounds easy, but this

FORREST: is gonna be a tough move for rookie player Carl.

FORREST'S DAD: That's right, Bob. And the stakes are HIGH.

FORREST'S DAD: He promised his teammate Sheldon he would take

FORREST'S DAD: EXTRA SPECIAL CARE of that mug.

FORREST: Let's take a look at the replay.

[♪]

FORREST: Carl does NOT look read

[Glass shatter]

FORREST/FORREST'S DAD: Oooohhhh!

FORREST: And the mug is DOWN.

FORREST'S DAD: That's a heartbreaker. Let's replay, and

FORREST'S DAD: see where he went

[Rewinding tape sound] [♪]

FORREST: I'd say he's trying to hold too many things at

FORREST: once.

FORREST'S DAD: Absolutely agree, Carl never had

FORREST'S DAD: much of chance of this move

FORREST'S DAD: successfully.

FORREST: This is where things start to get out of control...

CARL: [slow-motion] Nooooo!

CROWD: [shocked and disappointed

FORREST'S DAD: He also might have gone wrong when he

FORREST'S DAD: wouldn't put the mug in the box with the

FORREST'S DAD: others.

FORREST: That's a great point, Terry. Letting mom wrap and

FORREST: box the mug, or carrying just one thing

FORREST: at a time...

FORREST: If Carl had done just ONE of those things,

FORREST: everything would be fine.

[♪]

CARL: But everything is NOT fine! Why didn't I -

SHELDON: Hi Carl! Why didn't you

SHELDON: Ummm, are you okay?

CARL: Why didn't I put it in the - or carry one

CARL: thing?

SHELDON: Wait, what's going on now?

[♪]

CARL: I broke it, Sheldon. I dropped and broke the yellow

CARL: zigzag mug.

SHELDON: You...broke my mom's present?

[♪]

CARL: I should have let Mama wrap it with the others where

CARL: it would be safe, but I wanted to do it myself cause

CARL: you are my best friend.

SHELDON: Oh.

CARL: And I was holding my button collection at the same

CARL: time. It was too much to carry. I...I did not think.

CARL: I did not think.

CARL: I'm sorry, Sheldon.

SHELDON: It was the perfect present. Her favorite color is

SHELDON: yellow, and, and the M's -— the zigzag M's?

CARL: You do not want to be friends anymore. I know it.

CARL: I am an awful friend.

[♪]

SHELDON: It was an awesome present and all, but come on,

SHELDON: Carl. We're still friends. Best friends!

CARL: Really?

SHELDON: Well, yeah. I mean, you care so much about what

SHELDON: happened to the mug, that makes you a really GOOD

SHELDON: friend, not a BAD one.

SHELDON: I still need a birthday present for my mom,

SHELDON: though.

CARL: As your best friend, I will help you solve this!

SHELDON: Thanks, buddy.

[♪]

SHELDON: You can still see the zigzags that look like M for

SHELDON: mom.

CARL'S MAMA: So...I saw you looking at the mug pieces.

CARL'S MAMA: Can I show you something that helps me, when I

CARL'S MAMA: make a mistake?

CARL'S MAMA: Here. See, in Japan

CARL'S MAMA: putting back together broken pottery and

CARL'S MAMA: showing where it broke with gold paint. It's

CARL'S MAMA: called kintsugi.

CARL'S MAMA: It reminds me that you can turn a mistake

CARL'S MAMA: into something beautiful!

SHELDON: [sigh]

SHELDON: I think my mug is in too many pieces to put back

SHELDON: together.

CARL: Maybe we can still make it into something beautiful...

CARL: Something else with yellow M's for mom!

SHELDON: Oh!

SHELDON: Like what?

CARL: I have an idea!

[♪]

CARL: Look at this!

CARL'S MAMA: Hey! My mosaic tray!

CARL: My mama actually made this little broken pieces

CARL: of pottery -— see? See them?

SHELDON: Ohhh...yeah!

CARL: Little pieces, like these!

CARL'S MAMA: Sheldon, would you like to make a mosaic tray

CARL'S MAMA: for your mom out of these pieces? I have all

CARL'S MAMA: the supplies you need!

SHELDON: Really? That would be awesome!

CARL: Yes!!!

FORREST/FORREST'S DAD: SCOOORE!

[♪]

CARL: I brought you some gloves from my glove

CARL: collection, so you do not cut yourself.

SHELDON: Thanks, Carl! Good idea!

[♪]

CARL: You still have a lot of M's Sheldon, and that was your

CARL: favorite part of the mug, right?

SHELDON: Yeah! I'm going to put them all in the middle...

SHELDON: I like that. I wish I had more yellow pieces,

SHELDON: though...I would put some yellow around them, like

SHELDON: a heart or something.

[♪]

SHELDON: That's pretty good! But yeah, too bad there aren't

SHELDON: more yellow pieces.

CARL: I have twenty-eight yellow buttons in my button

CARL: collection. You can...uh..

SHELDON: Really? Are you sure Carl?

CARL: Yes. You can have fourteen yellow buttons!

CARL: One...two...three...

SHELDON: Thanks, Carl! That's like, amazing!

CARL: Four...five...six...seven...

[♪]

SHELDON: There, all finished.

CARL: It looks good enough to be at a craft fair!

SHELDON: You think so? I just hope my mom likes it!

CARL: I'm sure she will, Sheldon!

SHELDON: Hey, now instead of giving my mom something I

SHELDON: bought, I'm giving her something I made! Which

SHELDON: is extra special.

SHELDON: And it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't dropped

SHELDON: the mug in the first place! So, thanks!

CARL: You are...welcome? It feels weird you are thanking

CARL: me for breaking your mom's present...But I guess

CARL: that is why you are my best friend!

[♪]

CARL'S MAMA: Sheldon! Well, that turned out beautiful!

CARL'S MAMA: Alright, here's a bow to finish your present.

[♪]

SHELDON: Happy Birthday, mom!

COACH MOM: Oh!

SHELDON: I made it myself!

COACH MOM: Thank you, Sheldon, darling! It's beautiful!

FORREST: Oh, and the tray is making a run for it!

[♪]

FORREST: Oh! What a save!
