[Car Engine noise]

CARL: Yes!

SARAH: Well hello there, my friend!

CARL: Hello, Mail Carrier Sarah. Did we get any mail

CARL: today?

SARAH: Hmm...is your name still Carl?

CARL: Yes! It is!

SARAH: Well, then, yes, indeed you DID!

CARL: Will you put it in our mailbox? So it's official?

SARAH: I sure will! That's my job.

SARAH: I stacked it just the way you like it. Little

SARAH: things, like postcards on the top, and big things,

SARAH: like magazines on the bottom.

CARL: And two rubber bands...

CARL/SARAH: To hold it all together!

SARAH: Now you officially have mail!

GRAMMA B: Caaaaarl?

GRAMMA B: Is that you, Carl?

CARL: Yes, Ms. Sheldon's Grandma.

GRAMMA B: Carl, do you have time to bring my mail up to me

GRAMMA B: on the porch?

CARL: Ah yes, I have time.

SARAH: Thank you for doing that, Carl. That's a very nice

SARAH: thing to do!

CARL: Okay. See you tomorrow.

SARAH: Bye bye, Carl!

[♪]

CARL: Here's your mail, Gramma B!

GRAMMA B: Oh, thank you, Carl! That is so helpful.

CARL: Okay. I am gonna get our mail now. Bye, Ms. Sheldon's

CARL: Grandma.

GRAMMA B: Goodbye, Carl! Thank you again!

CARL: Mama! We BOTH got mail today!

MAMA: Ooh! Is that the new issue of Community Access

MAMA: Garden & Radio? Aww, thank you, Carl!

[ kiss ]

CARL: Mama, first Mail Carrier Sarah, then Gramma B, and now

CARL: you said thank you today, but I didn't really do

CARL: anything.

MAMA: Well, I think people want you to know they

MAMA: appreciate you and are grateful for all the

MAMA: thoughtful things you do. Like bringing in the mail.

CARL: Hmm. Mail Carrier Sarah always stacks the mail just

CARL: the way I like it! With the little things on top, and

CARL: the bigger things on the bottom. And two rubber bands

CARL: to hold it all together.

CARL: I don't think I have ever thanked Mail Carrier

CARL: Sarah, Mama.

MAMA: Well, you know honey, it's never too late to let

MAMA: someone know you're grateful.

CARL: That's RIGHT! It isn't too late! And I'm

CARL: going to start RIGHT NOW! I know JUST what to give

CARL: her to say thanks!

[♪]

[Silly bike horn honking]

SHELDON: Heya, Carl! Whatcha up to on this toasty day?

CARL: Sheldon, today I have realized it is important to

CARL: let people know you appreciate them and to thank

CARL: them for doing the thoughtful things they do.

SHELDON: I think you're probably right about that!

CARL: I AM right. And today I intend to thank Mail Carrier

CARL: Sarah for always bringing me the mail JUST the

CARL: way I like it. To show her my gratitude, I am going

CARL: to give her my biggest heart-shaped rock in

CARL: my heart-shaped rock collection!

SHELDON: Whoa. That IS a big rock!

CARL: The biggest! Now all I have to do is find her...

CARL: And carry this.

SHELDON: Well, you might need some help with that rock.

SHELDON: Maybe I should come with you.

CARL: Yes. That is a good idea.

CARL: Oh, and thank YOU, Sheldon. I appreciate your

CARL: help!

SHELDON: Always, Carl! That's what best buds are for.

[Secret handshake]

SHELDON/CARL: [laughing] Yeah!

[♪]

CARL: You know what, Sheldon? I never noticed how many

CARL: people do helpful things every single day. I wonder if

CARL: THEY ever get thank you's.

SHELDON: Well, maybe we can be the ones to say thank you!

SHELDON: To everyone!

[♪]

CARL: Thank you, Sidewalk-Sweeper-Mimi!

[♪]

CARL: Thank you for planting flowers, Marble Mable!

[♪]

CARL: Thank you, Ramon, for donating books!

[♪]

SHELDON: Uh-huh. That felt right.

[♪]

CARL: Hello, Mr. Garbage Collector George. Thank you

CARL: for collecting all the garbage all the time!

SHELDON: We appreciate you.

GEORGE: Awwwww! Thank you two for making my whole day. It

GEORGE: was kinda stinky up till now - mostly because it's

GEORGE: hot out, and this is trash.

CARL: Have you seen Mail Carrier Sarah lately?

GEORGE: As a matter of fact, I have. She turned down Main

GEORGE: Street about ten minutes ago.

CARL: That is very helpful information. Come on, Sheldon.

♪ CARL: Let's follow that mail truck!

[♪]

CARL: Thank you, Bus Driver!

[♪]

CARL: Thank you, Mr. Howell!

SHELDON: We appreciate you for having the best deli and the

SHELDON: best breakfast burritos!

MR. HOWELL: Aww, thank YOU, kids!

MR. HOWELL: ‘Scuse my rush, I've gotta keep this cool.

MR. HOWELL: There's ice and raw fish and mayonnaise in

MR. HOWELL: here!

[♪]

CARL: Thank you, Sidewalk-Chalk-Draw-ers, Dylan and

CARL: Skylar!

SHELDON: We appreciate you for making the neighborhood a

SHELDON: prettier place. And creatively expressing yourself,

SHELDON: in chalk.

[record scratch]

[♪]

CARL: [gasp] Look, Sheldon! It's Mail Carrier Sarah's mail

CARL: truck! She MUST be around here somewhere.

SHELDON: Probably bringing someone the mail.

[whistle]

CARL: I have an idea! Why don't we WAIT for her to come

CARL: back? In the meantime, we can say thank you to Ms.

CARL: Huffman, for being a crossing guard.

SHELDON: And a yoga instructor!

CARL: And a museum docent.

SHELDON: And a librarian!

CARL: Let's do it!

MS. HUFFMAN: Hello, Carl. Hello, Sheldon.

MS. HUFFMAN: Whoo-whee, it's a warm one!

CARL: Hello, Ms. Huffman. We wanted to say thank you!

SHELDON: We appreciate you for being an excellent crossing

SHELDON: guard.

CARL: And helping everyone cross the street.

MS. HUFFMAN: Oh, what a lovely thing to say! Sorry, but the

MS. HUFFMAN: middle of the street is not a good place to

MS. HUFFMAN: stop. This is a place to keep things moving.

CARL: We also wanted to thank you again for being our

CARL: librarian.

SHELDON: And I definitely plan on returning those late

SHELDON: library books... Maybe even this week!

MS. HUFFMAN: Boys, that's very kind, but it's important you

MS. HUFFMAN: clear the crosswalk!

CARL: What could be more important than thanking

CARL: someone for all that they do?

SHELDON: And letting them know how much you appreciate them.

CARL: For it is not just WE who feel this way, EVERYONE in

CARL: Fuzzytown is grateful for you!

CARL: Honk your horns if you appreciate Ms. Huffman!

ANGRY DRIVER : Come on, guys! What's the hold-up?!

CARL: See? Everyone appreciates you!

ANGRY DRIVER : Come on, already!

MS. HUFFMAN: Carl and Sheldon, you REALLY need to clear the

MS. HUFFMAN: intersection!

SHELDON: Carl, we might need to get out of the street.

SHELDON: People are getting pretty cranky.

MR. BARNABY: Ahhh! Oh, double-drip! We're not moving!

MR. BARNABY: How can I get ice cream to the people on this

MR. BARNABY: hot day, if we're stuck?

CARL/SHELDON: Uh-oh.

RADIO DJ: You're listening to KFUZ, and this just in -

DJ: it seems two young friends, set on showing their gratitude

DJ: this hot, sizzling summer day, have accidentally caused

DJ: quite the traffic jam in the middle of Fuzzytown!

SHELDON: Carl, I think they're talking about us!

CARL: Whaaa?

RADIO DJ: Now if you ask me, there are two ways to go, here.

DJ: You can stress and distress about this, OR you can get in

DJ: the mood of gratitude!

[constant honking continues]

MR. BARNABY: Hmm, get into the mood of gratitude?

MR. BARNABY: Gather round, Fuzzytown! Let's be grateful

MR. BARNABY: for what we've got, and what we've got is ice

MR. BARNABY: cream! Free ice cream for all! Get it while

MR. BARNABY: it's cold!.

MR. BARNABY: Here you go.

MR. BARNABY: Here ya go!

MR. BARNABY: Don't forget yours! Enjoy.

MR. BARNABY: Enjoy!

MS. HUFFMAN: Well, that helped calm everyone down.

SHELDON: We are really sorry for blocking the traffic, Ms.

SHELDON: Huffman.

CARL: We really only meant to say a great big thank you.

MS. HUFFMAN: I know you did, and I'm grateful that you

MS. HUFFMAN: thought of me! Even a little gratitude goes a

MS. HUFFMAN: long way. Now will both of you do me a BIG

MS. HUFFMAN: favor?

CARL/SHELDON: Yes.

SHELDON: Anything, Ms. Huffman!

MS. HUFFMAN: Could you both please, PLEASE get out of the

MS. HUFFMAN: street? Like, right now!

CARL: Oh yes. We will.

SHELDON: Sorry, Ms. Huffman.

MS. HUFFMAN: [sigh] I need an ice cream.

CARL: Mail Carrier Sarah!

SARAH: Well, hello again, Carl.

SARAH: If that's still your name!

CARL: It is! Mail Carrier Sarah, we have been looking

CARL: for you for SO LONG! I wanted to say thank you for

CARL: always bringing the mail to our house, and for

CARL: organizing it just the way I like it. With the little

CARL: things on the top, and the big things on the bottom,

CARL: with two rubber bands...

CARL/SARAH: To hold it all together!

SARAH: Well, thank you, Carl. Isn't that the nicest thing?

CARL: And I brought you something very special. It's

CARL: the biggest heart-shaped rock, from my heart-shaped

CARL: rock collection.

SARAH: Wow! How thoughtful of you, Carl. This is...really

SARAH: big!

GEORGE: Ooh! It sure is a hot one. Hey, Sarah, you think you

GEORGE: can, uh, help me out with this ice cream before it

GEORGE: melts?

SARAH: It's like you read my mind!

SARAH: Thank you. And thank you, Carl and Sheldon. You

SARAH: really made my day.

CARL/SHELDON: Yesss!

CARL: And then, even though we accidentally caused a traffic

CARL: jam and I finally got to thank Mail Carrier Sarah, and

CARL: give her the biggest rock in my heart-shaped rock

CARL: collection!

MAMA: Well, it sounds like, in the end, you were able to make

MAMA: a whole bunch of people feel pretty special and

MAMA: appreciated today, Carl.

CARL: We did, Mama! Sheldon and I turned today into a

CARL: great big Gratitude Day!

MAMA: You know what, Carl? The thing about showing thanks is

MAMA: it doesn't always have to be a big, grand

MAMA: gesture shared on just one day. A simple thank you

MAMA: any day is meaningful too.

CARL: Like the way you thanked me for bringing in the mail

CARL: this morning?

MAMA: Exactly!

CARL: Well, I saved the biggest thank you of all for

CARL: right now. I am the most grateful for YOU, Mama. You do

CARL: so much for me, every day.

MAMA: Aww. Because you are my Carl.

CARL: And you are my Mama.

MAMA: Fuzzy-nuzzle?

CARL: Fuzzy-nuzzle.

[Sparkle sound] [♪]

CARL: The Pet Rock Collection

[♪]

CARL: Come on... [digging]

CARL: Come out, little buddies! [digging]

SHELDON: Hey there, Carl.

CARL: Hi, Sheldon. Hi, everyone.

ARUGULA: We're heading to the park to play. Do you want to

ARUGULA: come?

CARL: No, thank you, Arugula.

CARL: Aha!

NICO: Wow. A rock.

CARL: It's not just any rock, Nico. It's granite! Granite is

CARL: a strong rock that's hard to break.

SHELDON/NICO: Whoa!/Ooh...

CARL: Now this super-strong granite is one of the hardest

CARL: rocks in my pet rock collection.

NICO: They...look like regular rocks to me.

CARL: No. They have googly eyes. See? That makes them

CARL: pet rocks.

[♪]

CARL: And there are two-hundred and forty-six

CARL: reasons rocks make great pets.

CARL: One, they're quiet. Two, they are hypoallergenic, which

CARL: means they don't make Mama sneeze. Three, they like

CARL: the same TV shows I do. Four-

FORREST: Pet rocks sound amazing! I wish I had one.

CARL: Hmm. I have enough pet rocks for everyone. You can

CARL: each take one, and we can play all together!

FUZZY FRIENDS: Yay!/Woohoo!/Let's do it!

CARL: Here, you can choose from these ones.

CARL: Except for this one. Granite stays with me.

FORREST: Woohoo!

NICO: Awesome!

ARUGULA: Oh wow!

LOTTA: Yay!

SHELDON: Are you sure it's okay for us to keep them?

CARL: Yes. I like digging for rocks. And now I have room in

CARL: my collection to add more.

ARUGULA: I'm going to name her "Holly".

LOTTA: I'm naming my pet rock "Melody", like a song!

CARL: Wait! Yours is called Syenite. I always name them by

CARL: the type of rock they are.

CARL: This pet rock is made of granite, so its name is

CARL: "Granite".

LOTTA: Sye-en-nun-ite? Sey-nan-ite?

CARL: Syenite.

LOTTA: Maybe that's the right way for you, but "Melody" is

LOTTA: way easier for me to say. And I like it better.

CARL: Mmm.[ stimming]

FORREST: On your mark, get set, go!

FORREST: I win!

CARL: Forrest, my pet rocks don't race.

[twirling sound]

NICO: Sorry! Coming through!

CARL: And my pet rocks don't skateboard!

ARUGULA: Whee!

CARL: And they don't fly, and they don't make music - that is

CARL: NOT how I play with my pet rocks!

[♪]

CARL: Rocks are quiet pets. Calm playtime is best for

CARL: them. They're great to read with, and they keep your

CARL: papers from blowing away if you draw outside on a windy

CARL: day.

NICO: Maybe your rock likes to be a paperweight, but my

NICO: pet rock does skateboard tricks! Like me!

CARL: That's it! I have just realized that none of you know

CARL: how to properly play with a pet rock. Please give

CARL: them back.

ARUGULA: That's not fair, Carl! You can't take them back

ARUGULA: just because we play with them differently than you

ARUGULA: do.

ARUGULA: Isn't that right, Holly?

NICO: It's rude.

CARL: Well, I think it's rude that you're not playing with

CARL: the pet rocks the RIGHT way.

FORREST: The right way? Or your way.

CARL: MY way is the right way.

SHELDON: You know Carl, we haven't had pet rocks as long

SHELDON: as you have.

CARL: You are right, Sheldon. Maybe you just don't know how

CARL: to properly play with pet rocks yet. But I can teach

CARL: everyone. To the treehouse!

[♪]

CARL: Welcome everyone, to my School of Proper Pet Rock

CARL: Playtime!

CARL: Today I will be teaching you how to properly play with

CARL: your pet rocks. The Carl way! Which is

CARL: also the RIGHT way.

NICO: Ugh! I know how to play with my pet rock just fine.

NICO: Isn't that right, "Mustachio Moose?"

NICO: Nico rocks at playing with rocks!

FUZZY FRIENDS: [laughing]

CARL: [clears throat]

CARL: The sooner you learn to play with your pet rocks

CARL: the RIGHT way, the sooner we can all

CARL: play together!

CARL: Alright. Here are some pet rock do's and don'ts.

[♪]

CARL: Do play outside with your pet rock.

CARL: But do NOT play catch with them. They do not make

CARL: very good ba*ls. Do have staring contests with them.

CARL: They are very good stare-ers. Do NOT feed them

CARL: after bedtime.

SHELDON: Why not?

CARL: Rocks don't eat food, Sheldon.

CARL: Now, for some hands-on lessons.

FUZZY FRIENDS: [collective groan]

[♪]

[brushing]

CARL: Brush them JUST like this.

[♪] [brushing]

[♪]

CARL: Staring contest starts now!

[♪]

SHELDON: [snoring]

SHELDON: Aah! I'm awake!

[♪]

SHELDON: [big yawn, more snoring]

CARL: Hooray! You have finished your pet rock

CARL: lessons. Now we can all play together with them, the

CARL: right way!

[♪]

CARL: What's the matter? Isn't everybody excited to play?

NICO: Well...I want to play with my pet rock my own way.

ARUGULA: Your way may be fun for you, but I like to

ARUGULA: decorate my pet rock with flowers.

LOTTA: Playing your way doesn't let my pet rock be

LOTTA: unique.

CARL: I've had pet rocks the longest out of everyone, so I

CARL: know how to play with them. The way you all want to

CARL: play just is not the right way.

SHELDON: Maybe there can be more than one right way to

SHELDON: play with pet rocks.

CARL: No. My way is the only right way. And if you're not

CARL: gonna play with those pet rocks MY way then...I'm

CARL: not playing with any of you!

SHELDON: Okay, Carl. If that's what you want. We'll be at the

SHELDON: park.

CARL: Wait, what?

CARL: I know how to play with pet rocks way better than they

CARL: do. They are bound to get bored soon.

CARL: Not us though!

CARL: Maybe we should go to the park too, so they can see

CARL: how much more fun we have playing MY right way

CARL: than they have playing their wrong way.

[♪]

CARL: Look at them, playing all wrong. They're gonna get

CARL: SO bored.

CARL: I told Lotta pet rocks don't make music!

Lotta:[drumming and making a beat]

CARL:[snapping fingers] It is a catchy beat though.

FORREST: Ooh! So close, Forrest Junior!

FORREST: I named my pet rock after myself.

SHELDON: Come on, Ludwig. Roll a strike!

[♪]

SHELDON/FORREST: Yay!/Woohoo!

CARL: Pet rock bowling? Pet rocks aren't supposed to roll

CARL: like that. I TOLD them rocks don't make good ba*ls.

CARL: Pet rocks sit on top of papers, not other rocks. It's

CARL: going to fall!

ARUGULA: Five seconds! Woohoo! A new record!

CARL: Wrong, wrong, wrong! Come on, Granite. Let's show

CARL: everyone how much fun playing the right way is.

NICO: Whee!

CARL: Ha ha! Brushing Granite is SO much fun.

CARL: Anyone not gently brushing their pet rock is

CARL: missing out.

SHELDON/NICO: Woohoo! / Wow!

[♪]

CARL: Are they seriously not seeing all the fun we're

CARL: having over here?

NICO: Watch out!

ARUGULA: Aah! Nico! Watch it!

CARL: That's why rocks don't skateboard.

NICO: Sorry, Arugula! My board got away from Mustachio Moose.

NICO: We're working on a new trick. Want to watch?

ARUGULA: Yes!

ARUGULA: Hey everyone! Nico and her pet rock are trying a

ARUGULA: new trick!

SHELDON/LOTTA/FORREST: Yay!/Woohoo!/This sounds

SHELDON/LOTTA/FORREST: great!

[♪]

CARL: [big sigh]

CARL: That's okay, we're having the most fun, right,

CARL: Granite?

CARL: But if you want to see what the others are doing, we

CARL: can...

NICO: Me and Mustachio Moose will ride toward the ramp

NICO: super fast, but then I'll hop off and let him ride

NICO: up the ramp alone. He'll fly up, roll down that tree

NICO: trunk, and roll right into that box.

SHELDON/ARUGULA/LOTTA: Whoa!/ Cool!/ Let's do it!

CARL: They're playing with their pet rocks completely

CARL: wrong, but they seem to be having more fun than we are

CARL: right now. Hmm...I should collect my thoughts.

[♪ Collecting thoughts ]

CARL: I've had pet rocks longer than anyone, and I've

CARL: always had fun.

CARL: But my friends don't like my way of playing.

[♪]

CARL: They are having fun their way though. I had fun

CARL: watching them.

CARL: I bet I'd have even more fun if I was playing with

CARL: them.

CARL: Maybe it's okay if I play my way, and my

CARL: friends play their way?

ARUGULA: Carl?

SHELDON: We know, we know. We're playing with our pet

SHELDON: rocks "wrong", right?

CARL: No. I've thought about it and decided my way is not

CARL: the only right way to play with a pet rock.

SHELDON: Really? Glad to hear it, buddy!

CARL: I'll play with mine the way I like to. And we can all

CARL: have fun together!

NICO: Watch out!

CARL: Ahhh!

NICO: Oh no! It's not going to make it!

SHELDON: Yes, it will!

[♪ building up ]

SHELDON: Or maybe not.

LOTTA: Hmm...

LOTTA: I have an idea.

LOTTA: [Drumming]

[wind blowing]

CARL: Oh no! The wind is moving the box! Mustachio

CARL: Moose isn't going to make it! Unless...

[wind blowing]

[♪]

CARL: Drum roll, please?

LOTTA: [Drumming]

ARUGULA: Come on, you can do it.

SHELDON/FOREST/NICO/ARUGULA: Woo-hoo! / Yes!/ Yay!

NICO: Carl! You and Granite saved my pet rock's trick!

CARL: We did! You played your way and I played mine, and...

CARL: It was fun!

CARL: Now who's ready to play in their own way all

CARL: together?

FUZZY FRIENDS: [laughing and playing]
