CARL: Whole Lotta Lotta

CARL: The meeting of the Squishy Squeezers Society

CARL: will now come to order! Let the squishy squeezing

CARL: begin!

FORREST: I'm squeezing Cheeseball, the squishiest

FORREST: cheetah in the universe!

SHELDON: I'm squeezing my pillow!

SHELDON: Mmm!

ARUGULA: And I'm squeezing Squiggles, my super squishy

ARUGULA: squashy squashy squishy unicorn!

CARL: Whoa! Do you see that squishy, squashy, unicorn,

CARL: Lotta?

CARL: Lotta?

LOTTA: Huh? What?

CARL: Lotta, you're the Vice President and co-founder of

CARL: the Squishy Squeezers Society, and yet you don't seem

CARL: interested in anyone's squishy squashy squeezables.

LOTTA: Oh, sorry. I'll squish later.

LOTTA: [sigh]

ARUGULA: Is something wrong, Lotta?

LOTTA: I just wish I could go live on another planet, that's

LOTTA: all.

CARL: That is quite impossible, Lotta, as the

CARL: other planets in our solar system are either too

CARL: hot or too cold to live. There also wouldn't be any

CARL: oxygen for you to breathe.

LOTTA: I would totally be able to live on my planet...

[♪]

LOTTA: I call it No-Noise-ia. It's so soothing, peaceful and

LOTTA: quiet. And I also have my own unicorn!

[♪]

LOTTA: [giggle]

LOTTA: Yay!

[♪]

LOTTA: And no one makes fun of me, or calls me any names

LOTTA: because I never have to wear my headphones!

ARUGULA: Did someone make fun of you and your headphones,

ARUGULA: Lotta?

LOTTA: Her name is Skyler and she's in my after-school club.

[♪]

LOTTA: Everyone thinks she's super cool, but I think she's

LOTTA: just mean!

[♪]

SKYLER: You're sitting in front of the pretzels,

SKYLER: Headphone Girl.

[♪]

ARUGULA: Why do you think she called you that?

CARL: Probably cause Lotta wears headphones all the time.

LOTTA: Yes! And that's all she knows about me. That's all

LOTTA: a lot of people know about me - that I wear

LOTTA: headphones.

LOTTA: But there are a lot of other things about me too!

SHELDON: Definitely! You're a musician!

FORREST: And an artist! Don't forget artist!

ARUGULA: And a lover of unicorns!

LOTTA: I wish other kids in after-school club could see me

LOTTA: as all of you do.

CARL: I think I know how you feel.

LOTTA: You do?

CARL: Yes, something similar happened to me.

ARUGULA: They called you headphone boy?! You don't even

ARUGULA: wear headphones!

CARL: No. When I was younger, a girl in my class found out

CARL: I'm autistic, so she started calling me The

CARL: Autistic Kid. And then a few more kids called me The

CARL: Autistic Kid. And soon, everyone in my class was

CARL: calling me The Autistic Kid!

LOTTA: That sounds annoying.

CARL: Really annoying! I mean, yes, I am autistic. But

CARL: there's lots of other stuff I wanted people to know

CARL: about me too!

LOTTA: So what did you do?

CARL: I did what I do best... I made a collection!

CARL: A Carl Collection!

LOTTA: Wow! What's a Carl Collection?

CARL: It's a collection full of things that show who I am

CARL: and all the ways I am special.

CARL: The Carl Collection has my universal screwdriver

CARL: cause I love using tools!

LOTTA: Nice! What else is in the Carl Collection?

CARL: Here's a bicycle flag. You know why it's in my

CARL: collection?

LOTTA: Is it because you love to ride bikes?

SHELDON: Yes! But also because he loves the feeling of the

SHELDON: wind in his fur as he rides!

CARL: You both really get me!

LOTTA: Ooh! What else is in the Carl Collection?

CARL: This ponderosa pine cone!

FORREST: And that's because Carl loves nature.

ARUGULA: And he loves nature so much he joined the Fuzzy

ARUGULA: Scouts!

CARL: Yes! And yes!

LOTTA: What's that?

CARL: This is a video game controller for the first

CARL: Vectronix Gaming System of .

LOTTA: Because you like to play vintage video games?

CARL: And why?

LOTTA: Because your dad takes you to old-timey arcades to

LOTTA: play vintage video games together!

CARL: Yes! You really know me too, Lotta!

LOTTA: That is one great Carl Collection, Carl!

CARL: It really is. Because whenever anyone looks at me

CARL: and only sees the autistic kid, I can take out

CARL: my Carl Collection and show them that I'm much more.

LOTTA: That's awesome! I wish I had a collection like that.

FORREST: I don't see how having a Carl Collection would

FORREST: help you.

LOTTA: I meant a collection for me, Forrest. A Lotta

LOTTA: Collection!

FORREST: Ohhhh! That makes more sense.

ARUGULA: Maybe you can start one!

LOTTA: I don't know...I'm not an expert collector, like Carl.

CARL: I could help you if you want!

LOTTA: You would do that?

CARL: Of course. You're my friend, and I like helping

CARL: friends. That's why I keep THIS!

CARL: May I offer you a helping hand?

LOTTA: Yes! Thanks, Carl! Let's do it!

CARL: Here's a container for your Lotta Collection.

LOTTA: Thanks, Carl, but that's where you keep your

LOTTA: collection. I have something different to keep MY

LOTTA: collection in.

CARL: That looks just like your head!

LOTTA: It's supposed to look like my head.

LOTTA: I made it myself. Now, what should I put in my Lotta

LOTTA: head?

CARL: Well, you're making a Lotta Collection, so you want

CARL: to add the things that make you, YOU.

LOTTA: There are lots of things that make me, me!

LOTTA: What do I choose?!

CARL: Well, I know you like music.

LOTTA: Carl, I don't like music. I LOVE MUSIC!

CARL: Music HAS to go into your collection!

LOTTA: Yeah, it does!

LOTTA: My patch cord! It connects all my synths so I

LOTTA: can make music with everything, so it's the

LOTTA: perfect thing to go in my collection!

CARL: Your collection is off to a great start, Lotta!

CARL: What's next?

LOTTA: Ooh! I know.

[Typing]

[Electronic sounds]

CARL: Uh...What is that?

LOTTA: I build robots.

LOTTA: This is my ladybug-bot!

[♪]

CARL: I love robots too! You have to add a robot to your

CARL: collection.

LOTTA: I agree! So let's put it in the head!

[♪]

CARL: What else can we add to the Lotta Collection?

[♪]

LOTTA: This!

CARL: A model of a brain? Why is it so many different

CARL: colors?

LOTTA: Well, I'm autistic too, Carl.

CARL: Oh! You are autistic like me! I didn't know that.

LOTTA: Yeah. It's a big part of who I am. And all the

LOTTA: different colors in this brain mean that all

LOTTA: brains are unique, including mine.

CARL: And mine too.

LOTTA: My brain sees colors when I hear music!

CARL: And my brain is really good at remembering details

CARL: about my collections.

CARL: Note to self, add brain to Carl Collection!

LOTTA: Hey Carl? Um, I'm not ready to tell everyone that I

LOTTA: am autistic. Can you keep it between you and me?

CARL: Of course, Lotta.

LOTTA: Thank you. And I'll add an oven mitt because I love

LOTTA: baking cookies. A rook from a chess set because I

LOTTA: love how chess makes you think. A unicorn from

LOTTA: Friendicorn High, which is my absolute favorite show!

LOTTA: Ooh, and you can't forget the scented markers!

CARL: Why scented markers?

LOTTA: Because I love making art that smells good.

CARL: Ooh! This drawing of me smells better than I do!

CARL: Is that it?

LOTTA: Not quite. I want to put these in.

CARL: Headphones? But I thought you wanted everyone to

CARL: know that you're not just headphone girl?

LOTTA: This collection is full of things that make me - me!

LOTTA: And my headphones are important. They block out

LOTTA: loud, annoying sounds. So they belong in my

LOTTA: collection, too.

CARL: Whoa! This head has a whole lotta Lotta!

[♪]

[Ball Bouncing] [♪]

[Typing] [♪]

[♪]

SKYLER: Oops! Sorry about that! Hey, can you throw us

SKYLER: the ball back, Headphone Girl?

LOTTA: Why do you call me that? It's not my name.

SKYLER: Well, because you wear headphones. So you're

SKYLER: Headphone Girl...

SKYLER: What's that?

SKYLER: Is that...your head made out of papier mâchè?

LOTTA: It's my Lotta Collection.

SKYLER: Lotta what?

LOTTA: Lotta is my name. And this collection is filled with

LOTTA: things that make me - me!

SKYLER: Oh...What is that?

LOTTA: It's my ladybug bot.

[♪]

SKYLER: Whoa! Did you build that?

LOTTA: I did!

SKYLER: You should join the Robotics Club with Eyeglasses

SKYLER: and Braces.

LOTTA: Thanks, I'll think about it.

[♪]

SKYLER: And what is this thing?

LOTTA: It's a patch cord for my synthesizer.

SKYLER: You play music?

LOTTA: I write, compose, and play!

[♪]

SKYLER: Whoa! This song is kind of amazing! You actually

SKYLER: wrote this?

LOTTA: I did! I have music in my head all the time!

SKYLER: Is music why you always wear headphones?

LOTTA: Actually, I have a hard time with loud noises, and

LOTTA: headphones help make everything a bit quieter.

SKYLER: That would be helpful during a thunderstorm.

LOTTA: Oh! It is! Thunderstorms really freak me

LOTTA: out and the headphones really help!

SKYLER: I really don't like thunderstorms either.

LOTTA: Try headphones next time.

SKYLER: That's a good idea.

SKYLER: Hey, is that a rainbow in your collection?

LOTTA: Actually, it's Friendicorn!

SKYLER: From Friendicorn High?!

LOTTA: Yeah! This is...

LOTTA/SKYLER: Greebow Gertrude!

LOTTA: You're a fan?

SKYLER: I am!

LOTTA: Me too!

SKYLER: If I had known that I would have called you

SKYLER: Frendicorn High Girl!

LOTTA: Or you could just call me Lotta.

SKYLER: Okay, Lotta! I'll call you Lotta.

LOTTA: Thanks.

SKYLER: Hey, want to play four square with us, Lotta?

LOTTA: That sounds fun.

[♪]

SKYLER: Hey, Braces, Eyeglasses, Lotta's gonna play

SKYLER: with us!

LOTTA: Actually, Skyler, this is Brittany. And that is

LOTTA: Ramon.

SKYLER: Sorry, Brittany and Ramon.

LOTTA: Come on! Let's play!

[♪]

CARL: Leaf It To Carl

[♪]

CARL: [gasp]

[♪]

CARL: [sigh]

CARL: It was beautiful. Bright golden yellow. It looked like

CARL: a half-circle with a stem! I've never seen another

CARL: leaf like it. I'm going back after school to see if I

CARL: can get one for my leaf collection.

SHELDON: I didn't know you had a leaf collection.

CARL: I do.

SHELDON: I'd be glad to help you track down one of your

SHELDON: yellow half-circles.

NICO: And GO!

SHELDON/CARL/NICO/ARUGULA: One Mississippi, Two Mississippi,

SHELDON/CARL/NICO/ARUGULA: Three Mississippi

[Loud whistle]

SHELDON'S MOM: Everybody gather round! This here is

SHELDON'S MOM: Dylan. He's a new student - just started

SHELDON'S MOM: school today. Let's all say hi and make

SHELDON'S MOM: him feel welcome.

SHELDON/CARL/NICO/LOTTA/NICO: Hi Dylan.

SHELDON'S MOM: Great! Everybody back to free play.

FORREST: Hey Dylan!

FORREST: Wanna practice handstands with us?

ARUGULA: Dylan! Come do somersaults.

SHELDON: Do you like basketball, Dylan?

FORREST: Hey Dylan!

ARUGULA: Dylan!

CARL: Dylan!

[♪ Rolling Jams ]

[♪]

FORREST: Oh no!

[♪]

FORREST: Phew!

[♪]

FORREST: Hey! Watch out!

[♪]

ARUGULA: It was nice to meet you, Dylan.

[♪]

LOTTA: So he just rolled back inside?

SHELDON: It was quite the hullabaloo.

CARL: Hullabaloo! I have that word in my word collection. It

CARL: means lots of noise, activity, and confusion. Like a

CARL: commotion!

LIBRARIAN: Shh!

[♪]

LOTTA: That does sound like a hullabaloo. I'm glad he didn't

LOTTA: hurt you, Forrest.

FORREST: You kidding? I'm tough. Plus, I kinda want to

FORREST: know how he did that!

ARUGULA: And I want to know why...why would Dylan do all

ARUGULA: that?

SHELDON: Maybe he was nervous?

FORREST: Or maybe he wanted to impress us all with his

FORREST: basketball skills! I mean have you ever seen

FORREST: someone put themselves through the

FORREST: hoop?

NICO: Or...maybe he's just a mean kid. My friend's

NICO: cousin's soccer goalie, Louise, heard that at his old

NICO: school...

NICO: Dylan was painting a picture in art class...

NICO: But, when someone else used all the orange

NICO: paint, he got so mad, he wrecked the whole class!

[Boing]

FUZZY FRIENDS: [gasp]

CARL: Wait so he meant to knock everyone's art over?

LIBRARIAN: Shh!

SHELDON: We don't know that, Nico. It's just a rumor.

ARUGULA: Yeah, Nico. That story was passed along by a

ARUGULA: lot of people, and none of us were there. We

ARUGULA: don't really know what happened.

NICO: We saw him roll into a ball today! Seems like it

NICO: could have happened.

CARL: It's a gingko leaf!

LIBRARIAN: Shh!

SHELDON: Carl saw a really cool leaf this morning on the

SHELDON: bus to school. He needs it for his collection.

FORREST: What did it look like?

CARL: It was like a yellow semi-circle just like this.

SHELDON: Carl and I are gonna see if we can track one after

SHELDON: school.

FORREST: That sounds fun, can I come?

LOTTA: And me?

CARL: Sure! Why not!

NICO: And us?

FUZZY FRIENDS: [giggling]

LIBRARIAN: Shhh!!!

FUZZY FRIENDS: [tiny giggle]

[School bell ringing]

[School bus engine sound]

[♪]

CARL: Presenting my newest addition to my...

CARL: newest edition to my

CARL: leaf collection?! I don't understand. Just this

CARL: morning, the whole sidewalk was covered in yellow

CARL: leaves.

FORREST: You mean...those yellow leaves?

CARL: Oh no!

[Compost truck sounds]

LOTTA: They were very pretty leaves, Carl. The tree will

LOTTA: make more in the springtime.

CARL: But the leaves will be green in the spring. I'll have

CARL: to wait until NEXT FALL for the leaves to change color

CARL: to yellow.

ARUGULA: Wait a minute!

ARUGULA: Look up there!

CARL: The last leaf!

CARL: Let's go get it for my collection!

NICO: [gasp] Look!

LOTTA: Dylan. What's he coloring?

CARL: Surely he wouldn't mind if I took the last leaf for my

CARL: collection. Would he?

NICO: Oh, I think he might...

NICO: My friend's cousin's see-saw partner's

NICO: sister said once at his old school, they asked

NICO: Dylan to borrow an eraser...

NICO: He got so mad, he broke both their desks!

SHELDON: Nico! That's just another rumor. We weren't

SHELDON: there. We don't know it's true.

ARUGULA: Yeah. All we know about Dylan is what we saw

ARUGULA: today...the mess he made on the playground. Maybe

ARUGULA: we shouldn't judge him based on just that?

ARUGULA: Everyone has bad days.

SHELDON: Hey, since the leaf is so high, maybe Forrest could

SHELDON: climb that tree and be back here before Dylan

SHELDON: knows what's happening!

CARL: That makes sense.

FORREST: It does?

FORREST: I mean, it does!

[♪]

FORREST: Here I go.

[♪]

FORREST: Ahh!

FORREST: Did I do it?

LOTTA: C'mon guys! I know we can figure out how to get Carl

LOTTA: that leaf, without Dylan rolling over us!

[♪]

SHELDON: A little more.

SHELDON: More!

[♪]

CARL: Oh no!

[wood sticks hitting the ground]

NICO: Scatter!

LOTTA: Run away!

CARL: Meet back in ten minutes!

[♪]

FORREST: Steady.

[♪]

NICO: You're gonna miss it!

NICO: You don't know what you're doing! You haven't had

NICO: the training!

SHELDON: Uh...Nico? Arugula?

Nico: [Gasp]

[crash]

LOTTA: Oh, my.

SHELDON: You sure about this, Forrest?

FORREST: If I go in from above, he'll have no chance of

FORREST: rolling me over again.

FORREST: And remember, by morning, I am Forrest,

FORREST: virtuoso of the handstands, but by afternoon

FORREST: I am FORESTRO, squirrel of the sky!

NICO: Would you look at that!

[♪]

FORREST: [gasp!]

FORREST: Ah!

FORREST: Hey! How did you bounce yourself through that

FORREST: hoop?

[Boing]

[♪]

CARL: My leaf collection!

[♪]

CARL: Follow that ball!

[♪]

FORREST: Coming through! Forrest to the rescue!

[♪]

FORREST: Rats! Missed him. He's just such a fast roller!

FORREST: But this is our chance. Let's just go back to

FORREST: the park and get the leaf.

[♪]

CARL: I have to talk to Dylan.

SHELDON: What? Why?

CARL: He has my whole leaf collection stuck to his back.

CARL: Without it, the yellow leaf doesn't matter.

LOTTA: I'm going with you. I have got to know what he's

LOTTA: been drawing over there all day.

[Doorbell ring]

CARL: Hello? Is Dylan home?

CARL: I believe he has something that belongs to me.

DYLAN: I don't have anything of yours.

LOTTA: Did you draw that?

DYLAN: Yeah. I was watching you all play for a while. It

DYLAN: looked like a lot of fun.

CARL: Dylan, did you want to play with us?

DYLAN: I did. But I didn't know how to ask. My old school

DYLAN: was a lot smaller than yours.

DYLAN: Meeting so many new people today was really scary.

DYLAN: Everybody looking at me. It's been...a lot.

CARL: I think I understand. Making new friends can be

CARL: hard!

DYLAN: Yeah! That's why I rolled up.

LOTTA: So you don't roll into a ball because you're angry?

DYLAN: No. I do it when I get nervous.

ARUGULA: And you didn't destroy an art class at your

ARUGULA: old school?

DYLAN: Never! I love art class! It's my favorite. Where

DYLAN: did you hear that?

NICO: The stories I heard might've been about a

NICO: different armadillo. Sorry, everybody. Sorry,

NICO: Dylan. I got carried away.

DYLAN: I understand. Once I'm rolling, I get carried away

DYLAN: too.

SHELDON: After what happened on the playground, and all of

SHELDON: the rumors, we were so nervous that you'd roll

SHELDON: over us, we made a big mess of the park.

DYLAN: It was quite the hullabaloo!

FORREST: Whee!

DYLAN: I guess I didn't make much of a first impression. I

DYLAN: didn't mean to scare everyone.

ARUGULA: We all have bad days, Dylan. And we shouldn't have

ARUGULA: made up our minds about you so quickly.

LOTTA: You're gonna fit right in! I love to draw, too. And

LOTTA: it looks like you love collecting leaves, just like

LOTTA: Carl.

DYLAN: Huh?

DYLAN: Oh. Sorry.

[♪]

SHELDON: Forrest, buddy? What are you doing?

FORREST: Dylan is the fastest roller I've ever seen. I think

FORREST: it's cause of how tightly he ba*ls up.

FORREST: What is your secret, dude?

DYLAN: Come on, I'll show you!

CARL: And I'm gonna get my gingko leaf!

[♪]

CARL: Got it!

CARL: For leaf lovers everywhere!

FORREST: Whee!

ARUGULA: Whee!

SHELDON: Woo! Whee! Yay!
