NICO: Do you have all your birthday money, Arugula?

ARUGULA: Oh yeah!

NICO: Great! Now we can go shopping for all the things we

NICO: need for our new business!

CARL: Hi, Nico, hi Arugula! You wanna make arts and

CARL: crafts out of my shoebox collection?

LOTTA: Snacks will be served!

NICO: No thanks, Carl! No, than you, Lotta. We're too

NICO: busy starting our own business!

CARL: Wow! What kind of business?

ARUGULA: It's the...

NICO: Wait, Ru-Ru! We have to sing the name of our business,

NICO: remember?

NICO: [harmonica tuning]

NICO/ARUGULA: Twin Sisters Hamster Sitters...

NICO: Incorporated!

LOTTA: You're going to be hamster sitters? I LOVE

LOTTA: hamsters! They're so cute!

CARL: The word hamster comes from the German word

CARL: hamstern, which means to store away lots of

CARL: stuff, which is kind of like collecting!

ARUGULA: Good to know!

NICO: Now, if you'll excuse us, we have to get to the

NICO: store and buy hamster stuff!

LOTTA: Bye!

CARL: Good luck with Twin Siste Hamster Sitters

CARL: Incorporated!

[car driving]

ARUGULA: The first thing we nee for taking care of

ARUGULA: hamsters is... food!

[♪]

NICO: Ooh!

[♪]

NICO: We could get the hamster kibble, but wouldn't we rather

NICO: have these?!

ARUGULA: Plates?

NICO: Not just ANY plates! They're fuchsia, and they have

NICO: cute hamsters on them! An they're wearing top hats!

NICO: Aren't they adorable?

ARUGULA: Well, yes, they are very dashing in their top

ARUGULA: hats, Nico, but --

NICO: But nothing! We need these!

ARUGULA: But what about the food?

NICO: We can get the food anytime! Fuchsia plates, with

NICO: cute hamsters wearing top hats, are something you

NICO: don't see everyday! So, we need them.

ARUGULA: We also need plenty of water bottles so all the

ARUGULA: hamsters can get enough to drink.

[♪]

NICO: We don't need all those water bottles! We just need

NICO: THIS! Disco Water Bottle!

NICO: Look how shiny it is! And it lights up.

NICO: And plays music.

NICO: And best of all...

NICO: It spins!

ARUGULA: I don't know. One bottle for all the hamsters we

ARUGULA: hamster sit?

NICO: It will teach them to share.

ARUGULA: I guess so...But we also need something to keep

ARUGULA: the hamsters cozy and warm when they take a nap,

ARUGULA: so we should buy some hamster bedding!

NICO: That just looks like plain, old, torn up paper.

ARUGULA: Hamster bedding is torn up paper.

NICO: Not for us! We need something squishier.

NICO: Something like...this...

ARUGULA: A squishy pillow?!

NICO: A squishy pillow specifically for hamsters!

ARUGULA: [groan] Okay! But we definitely need an

ARUGULA: escape-proof hamster enclosure.

NICO: Forget tha! We NEED this. A hamster carnival play

NICO: set!

ARUGULA: Nico, I think we need an escape proof enclosure more

ARUGULA: than a Hamster Carnival.

NICO: It's got a carousel, Arugula! Our hamsters will

NICO: LOVE a carousel!

NICO: Now we have everything we need for...

NICO: Twin Sister Hamster Sitters Incorporated!

NICO: This looks amazing!

ARUGULA: I'm not sure we have everything we need.

NICO: Of course we do! The hamsters are going to love it!

NICO: You'll see.

GEORGE: Excuse me! Are you the hamster sitters?

NICO: Yes, we are!

GEORGE: Oh good! Uh, please tak care of Schmoogums. She

GEORGE: likes to nap a lot during the day!

ARUGULA: Sleeps a lot during the day! Check!

ARUGULA: Hey, Munchy! I know how much you love your hamster

ARUGULA: snacks!

ARUGULA: Oh, you're so cute!

MR. BARNABY: Okay, this is Athena! And this is Ferris.

MR. BARNABY: Ferris is very fast, so keep an eye on him!

ARUGULA: We'll take good care of them.

NICO: Your hamsters will have everything they need at...

NICO/ARUGULA: Twin Sister Hamster Sitters...

NICO: Incorporated!

GEORGE: The singing really makes me think these two know

GEORGE: what they're doing!

NICO: Okay! It's time for some hamster-sitting fun! What

NICO: should we do first?

NICO: Whoa! Come back here, Ferris!

[♪]

ARUGULA: Wow! He really is fast.

NICO: Huh? Where'd he go now?

[♪]

ARUGULA: We'd better do something fun to keep these

ARUGULA: hamsters occupied!

[♪]

NICO: I thought maybe they would enjoy hamster bowling!

[♪]

[Hamster chewing]

ARUGULA: Or...perhaps they need a snack first.

[♪]

NICO: Yes! Now's the perfect time to bring out our cute

NICO: pink plates with the hamster in the top hat on

NICO: them!

[Hamster chewing]

NICO: Whoa! Easy there, Munchy! Don't chew on the plates!

NICO: They're not food!

ARUGULA: He's hungry!

NICO: So, let's give him some food!

ARUGULA: We didn't buy any food You wanted the plates

ARUGULA: instead!

NICO: Okay...then, we need to do something to get their minds

NICO: off of food!

ARUGULA: Like what?

NICO: I don't know!

ARUGULA: Maybe we can do a hamster dance?

NICO: Yes! Yes! Good idea! Come on, hamsters! Let's

NICO: dance!

[♪]

ARUGULA: Come on hamsters, take a chance, let's all do

ARUGULA: the hamster dance!

[♪]

NICO: Schmoogums, what are you doing? You're supposed to

NICO: be dancing, not chasing Athena!

ARUGULA: Maybe she's acting out because she's tired!

NICO: Tired! Well, that's perfect!

NICO: Schmoogums! If you're tired, this is the perfect spot

NICO: for a nap! It's so squishy.

[♪]

ARUGULA: I don't think hamsters like to sleep on a

ARUGULA: squishy pillow.

ARUGULA: But they do like chewing it.

NICO: We NEED to try something else.

NICO: Let's get the Disco Water Bottle!

[♪]

ARUGULA: Maybe we should have gotten more than one water

ARUGULA: bottle...

[♪]

ARUGULA: This is not helping!

[♪]

ARUGULA: Aah!

[♪]

ARUGULA: None of this is working very well. What do we

ARUGULA: do?!

NICO: Let's put them on the hamster carousel. They'll

NICO: love it!

[♪]

NICO: Have fun hamsters!

[♪]

NICO: They're heading towards the park! Come on!

[♪]

NICO: Gotcha!

[♪]

NICO: Oh, hey, oh!

[♪]

ARUGULA: Aha!

ARUGULA: Huh?

ARUGULA: [frustrated efforts]

[♪]

NICO: Hmmm...

[♪]

NICO: Whoa-oh-oh!

[♪]

ARUGULA: Carl! Lotta! Stop him!

NICO: Don't let him get away!

[♪]

CARL: Well, this is quite the hullabaloo!

ARUGULA: [out of breath] Sorry, Carl, the hamsters ran off and

ARUGULA: we're trying to get them.

CARL: I know something that may work!

[♪]

CARL: Come get it!

[♪]

NICO: Wow! How did you know that would work?

CARL: From my hamster book collection. In addition to

CARL: hamsters being stout and having poor eyesight, they

CARL: can't resist fruit! Sometimes they'll collect it

CARL: in their cheeks and store it for later.

NICO: Carl, you seem to know a lot about hamsters. Will you

NICO: be a hamster sitter with us?

ARUGULA: You too, Lotta, we can use all the help we can

ARUGULA: get!

CARL: You mean we'd be...

ARUGULA/NICO/CARL/LOTTA: Twin Sisters and Friends

ARUGULA/NICO/CARL/LOTTA: Hamste Sitters...

NICO: Incorporated!

ARUGULA: Okay, we returned all the things we bought before.

ARUGULA: Now remember Nico, we are only buying what we need!

NICO: Right! What we need...

NICO: Like this sparkly hamster t-shirt!

CARL: I don't think we need a t-shirt.

NICO: These are hamster t-shirts. We are hamster

NICO: sitters. HOW can we not need them?!

LOTTA: There's a difference between wanting something and

LOTTA: needing something, Nico. Wants are things that

LOTTA: are nice to have, like that t-shirt. Needs are things

LOTTA: that you have to have to get the job done.

NICO: Well, how do I know that I don't need this?

CARL: Ask yourself if you could take care of the

CARL: hamsters without the t-shirts.

NICO: Well...we would look cool in these, but I guess the

NICO: t-shirts wouldn't really do much for the hamsters.

ARUGULA: Excellent! How about hamster kibble? Want or a

ARUGULA: need?

NICO: Hmmm...

CARL: Can you take care of hamsters without food?

NICO: No, definitely not.

ARUGULA: Then we NEED hamster kibble!

NICO: Ooh! How about these awesome light-up blankets?

ARUGULA: Is that light-up blanket something we have to

ARUGULA: have to take care of the hamsters?

CARL: Definitely not!

NICO: But I really, really, want it!

ARUGULA: But, if we buy this, w won't have enough money to

ARUGULA: buy the things we actually need to take care of

ARUGULA: hamsters!

NICO: You're right. I want this blanket, but I don't need

NICO: it.

CARL: What else do we really need?

NICO: How about this?

CARL: That would help us take care of the hamsters!

ARUGULA: And keep them safe!

LOTTA: And have fun on the wheel!

LOTTA/ARUGULA/CARL: This is something we need!

NICO: I think I'm getting the hang of this want verses need

NICO: stuff! Now come on, let's go find some hamster

NICO: bedding!

[♪]

NICO: Okay! We have everything we need to take care of

NICO: hamsters. Let's see how the hamsters like it.

[♪]

NICO: They like it!

LOTTA: Let's hear it for...

NICO/ARUGULA/LOTTA/CARL: Twin Sisters and Friends

NICO/ARUGULA/LOTTA/CARL: Hamste Sitters...

FUZZY FRIENDS: [laughing and playing]

CARL: And this turn is for slide-lovers everywhere! Wheee!

CARL: Here's to sliding all day!

CARL'S MAMA: Hmm.

CARL'S MAMA: I'm afraid everyone will have to slide

CARL'S MAMA: without you Carl! We have to go run some

CARL'S MAMA: errands.

CARL: Ughhh! Mama, stores are the worst!

CARL'S MAMA: Aww. I know, hon, they're not your favorite. So

CARL'S MAMA: I promise we'll ge in and out as quickly as

CARL'S MAMA: we can!

CARL'S MAMA: Ooh, these sneakers are looking pretty

CARL'S MAMA: shabby, Carl!

CARL: I know, they have a hole here, and here, and this part

CARL: along the top is fraying...

CARL'S MAMA: Wow! Why didn't yo tell me? We can go to the

CARL'S MAMA: shoe store while we're out.

CARL: Ugh, another store?!

CARL'S MAMA: In and out as quickly as we can! I promise.

FORREST: Say “hi” to my dad at the store!

[♪]

[sound getting muffled]

[soud slowing down] [shoes squeaking]

[soud slowing down]

[slow cash register sounds]

[soud slowing down]

CARL'S MAMA: Ooh! Want to try something different?

CARL'S MAMA: These are pretty cool!

CARL: No, thank you. I want the Pro Court Flyer Low Tops

CARL: in Licorice Black. One size bigger. Like always.

CARL'S MAMA: I know, my love, they'll be here any minute.

FORREST'S DAD: Sorry to keep yo waiting, Carl! So busy

FORREST'S DAD: here today!

FORREST'S DAD: Pro Court Flyer Low Tops in Licorice Black,

FORREST'S DAD: one size bigger!

CARL'S MAMA: Thank you!

CARL: Thank you.

CARL'S MAMA: What about if I pa while you try them on?

CARL'S MAMA: That'll get us out of here quicker.

CARL: Yes please, Mama!

[♪]

CARL: Ohhh...these are really tight...

[soud slowing down]

CARL: My feet feel like they're inside of a burrito.

CARL: A tightly-wrapped burrito!

CARL: [upset gasp]

FORREST'S DAD: [rushed] Glad you like them, Carl! Excellent!

FORREST'S DAD: Have a great day!

CARL: Um, they're...

[Bell Ringing] [soud slowing down]

[soud slowing down]

CARL'S MAMA: Alrighty, all paid up! Let's go home.

CARL'S MAMA: Um, don't you want to wear them out? Don't

CARL'S MAMA: forget, it always takes you a while to get used

CARL'S MAMA: to a new pair of sneakers.

CARL: Let's just go!

[♪]

FORREST: Did you get new sneakers, Carl?

CARL: I did.

FORREST: Can I see them? I LOVE new sneakers!

CARL'S MAMA: Ooh, I bet it's time for the ceremonial

CARL'S MAMA: putting of the old sneakers into the old

CARL'S MAMA: sneakers collection!

FORREST: Oh man, I hope so!

[♪]

FORREST: This collection is amazing! All it needs is that

FORREST: pair right there!

FORREST: [sniffing]

FORREST: Mmm, that new sneaker smell! Why aren't you

FORREST: putting them on, Carl?

CARL: The thing is... the thing is...

CARL: I don't WANT to put on my new sneakers. They squish

CARL: my feet so tight, my feet feel like burritos. And

CARL: that makes ME feel like a burrito!

FORREST: That is NOT good. Did you say anything to my dad

FORREST: when he was helping you?

CARL: No, but the store was so busy and he was in a hurry.

CARL: Then, Mama paid for them, and I didn't know what to do!

CARL: I just wanted to get out of there!

FORREST: Tell your mom! I bet she'll take you back for a

FORREST: different size.

CARL: I don't want to go back there, it's too busy! And what

CARL: if everyone gets mad at m for not saying anything

CARL: before? Or what if they don't have the right size and

CARL: I have to get DIFFERENT sneakers than Pro Court Flyer

CARL: Low Tops in Licorice Black?

FORREST: They ARE your favorites.

CARL: Maybe I can just keep wearing these ones...

FORREST: I don't know Carl...you can't wear those

FORREST: sneakers forever.

[♪]

CARL'S MAMA: Hey Carl, don't yo want to show off your new

CARL'S MAMA: sneakers at school today?

CARL: Oh. Yeah, thanks.

CARL'S MAMA: You have a wonderful day!

CARL'S MAMA: Mmwah!

[♪ Burrito Sneaker Jam ]

[♪]

CARL: Oh no!

[♪]

[♪]

SHELDON: Freeze!

[ripping]

[♪]

FORREST: Dude, you can't go on like this!

[♪]

CARL'S MAMA: Hey, Carl? You're not wearing your new sneakers.

CARL: Oh! Um...I couldn't find them!

CARL'S MAMA: Huh...

[♪]

LOTTA: Hey, weren't you getting new sneakers a few

LOTTA: days ago?

CARL: I did. But they're too tight. They make my feet feel

CARL: like burritos, which makes ME feel like a burrito!

FORREST: A burrito?

CARL: Nothing against your lunch, Sheldon, but I don't

CARL: like feeling wrapped up like I can't breathe.

SHELDON: That's the worst. Can you get a bigger size? I bet

SHELDON: your mom would take yo back to the store!

CARL: I don't want to. It's too crowded! And everyone

CARL: might get mad at me, and they might be out of the right

CARL: size, and what if I had t get different sneakers than

CARL: Pro Court Flyer Low Tops in Licorice Black?

FORREST: That's a tough one, Carl. I'm sure nobody would be

FORREST: mad, though...

SHELDON: Your sneakers are falling apart! Next time it

SHELDON: rains, your socks are gonna get wet.

FORREST: You HAVE to say something.

CARL: I guess you're right. But I don't even know what to

CARL: say.

FORREST: Just tell it like it is. Say, ‘Hey Mom, these shoes

FORREST: hurt. Can I get a different size instead?'

LOTTA: It sounds easy when you say it like that, Forrest. But

LOTTA: I don't like having to ask for something from a

LOTTA: grown-up. Once, I was to scared to ask for the

LOTTA: bathroom key at the library and I almost had an

LOTTA: accident.

CARL: Really?

LOTTA: Yes. Now I practice ahead of time. It gets easier

LOTTA: the more you say it out loud.

FORREST: That's a good idea! What do you want to say to

FORREST: your mom?

CARL: Okay, let's see. Mama, my new sneakers...I feel

CARL: that...my new sneakers ar too tight!

SHELDON: That was good!

FORREST: And?

CARL: However...the shoe store made me anxious...

CARL: Could you get a different size without me?

FORREST: Nailed it!

FORREST: Just keep practicing.

CARL: I think I have to.

[♪]

CARL: [deep breath in and out]

[♪]

CARL: Mama, there's something I need to tell you.

CARL'S MAMA: Of course, buddy! I'm all ears!

CARL: All ears? You have many different body parts, like a

CARL: head and a --

CARL'S MAMA: Okay, well, that's just an expression,

CARL'S MAMA: Carl, it means, ‘I'm listening'! So, what did

CARL'S MAMA: you want to tell me?

CARL: Um, I want to tell you that...that...

CARL: the lifespan of the common house fly is only to

CARL: days!

CARL'S MAMA: Well, that's good to know! Thank you, Carl.

[♪]

FORREST: I came by to see the new sneakers. Did you get them

FORREST: yet?

CARL: I tried to say something but I failed.

FORREST: This calls for a treehouse meeting! Come on!

FORREST: Let's go practice!

FORREST: Hi, Mrs. Carl's Mom!

CARL'S MAMA: Hi, Forrest.

CARL: We're going to the tree fort.

CARL'S MAMA: Listen, if you two are hungry, there are some

CARL'S MAMA: Power Nut Bars you can grab on your way out, k?

FORREST: I'm actually allergic to tree nuts. Got any cheese,

FORREST: please?

CARL'S MAMA: Oh! That's right. Phew, I'm glad you said

CARL'S MAMA: something! So there's cheese in the fridge

CARL'S MAMA: door, and you can help yourself.

CARL: I...uh, have something to say too.

[♪]

CARL: My sneakers are too tight!

FORREST: Alright!

CARL'S MAMA: Wait, what? Your new sneakers? They don't fit?

CARL: No, they're too tight, they make my feet feel like

CARL: burritos!

CARL'S MAMA: So, why didn't you say anything, my love?

CARL: The store was so crowded, and everyone was

CARL: hurrying, and then you'd already bought them — I didn't

CARL: know what to do.

CARL'S MAMA: Oh, Carl! That mus have felt pretty

CARL'S MAMA: overwhelming. But you know, you can always talk

CARL'S MAMA: to me. It's always okay to speak up when

CARL'S MAMA: you need something, especially if

CARL'S MAMA: something hurts.

CARL: [big sigh]

FORREST: And?

CARL: One more thing.

CARL: I don't want to go back t the crowded shoe store. Can

CARL: you get them for me?

CARL'S MAMA: Let me see the sneakers, maybe I can exchange

CARL'S MAMA: them without you. Or we can go right when they

CARL'S MAMA: open before anyone else is there!

CARL: They're in my backpack!

[♪]

CARL'S MAMA: Well, here you go! These are one size smaller

CARL'S MAMA: than your falling-apart pair, not one

CARL'S MAMA: size BIGGER. No wonder they hurt! We got this

CARL'S MAMA: pair by mistake!

CARL: Whaaaaat?

FORREST: Dude!

MAMA/CARL/FORREST: [giggling]

CARL: Friends, thank you for coming to witness the

CARL: ceremonial putting of the old sneakers into the old

CARL: sneaker-collection.

CARL: None of this would have been possible without you

CARL: helping me speak up on behalf of my burrito feet.

FORREST/SHELDON/LOTTA: Way to go!/Bravo!/Yay!

CARL: Now, you may all choose one pair of shoelaces from my

CARL: shoelace collection. You know, to keep.

FORREST: Awesome!

LOTTA: Really?

SHELDON: Thank you, Carl!

LOTTA: No more burrito feet?

CARL: No more burrito feet! Mor like...a nice, loose

CARL: sandwich.
