[CARL] Dad, did you know the world record for the largest

[CARL] pretzel is feet?

[CARL] It weighed one thousand, seven hundred

and twenty-eight pounds.

[CARL] That's as much as a really big polar bear!

[HAROLD] Ha, Ha, No, Carl, I had no idea.

[HAROLD] Hey, I wonder how long it took for people to eat it.

[CARL] Hmm, not sure.

[CARL] Hey, look!

[CARL] They carry crispy critter chips here.

[HAROLD] Hey, while you're taking inventory of the snacks,

[HAROLD] I'll be picking out some fruit for our breakfast

[HAROLD] tomorrow.

[CARL] OK, Dad.

[someone humming]

[PAOLO] Oh!

[Boink, boink, boink, boink ]

[♪]

[CARL] Ah-hah!

[♪]

[HAROLD] Strawberries or blueberries, Carl?

[♪]

[HAROLD] Carl, do you want strawberry or blueberry pancakes

[HAROLD] tomorrow morning?

[CARL] Uh-huh.

[CARL] Tomorrow's fine.

[string pluck]

[♪]

[CARL] Found you!

[PAOLO] [Giggle]

[CARL] Hi, I'm Carl.

[CARL] I think you dropped something.

[CARL] What's your name?

[♪]

[PAOLO] My name is Paolo.

[♪]

[CARL] Whoa, that's cool, Paolo!

[CARL] I saw a kid at the library with a tablet like that,

[CARL] but I didn't have a chance to ask him how it works.

[CARL] Can you show me?

[PAOLO] mmmmm-hmmm

[♪]

[CARL] Oh, so there are letters and pictures.

[Button click]

[PAOLO] Tree.

[Button click]

[Button click]

[PAOLO] Egg.

[PAOLO] Apple.

[CARL] Hey, that's pretty neat.

[♪]

[PAOLO] Thank you for the apple.

[PAOLO] My tablet helps me talk.

[CARL] Was it hard for you to learn how to use it?

[CARL] I bet it was hard because there are so many buttons.

[PAOLO][computer translating mid typing response]

[CARL] Oh! oh,your typing.

[CARL] Sorry, I'll be quiet.

[PAOLO] Hard first, but now easy.

[♪]

[PAOLO] How do you spell your name?

[CARL] C-A-R-L.

[PAOLO] Carl.

[CARL] Yep! that's me!

[CARL] Hi, Dad.

[CARL] This is Paolo.

[HAROLD] Hello, Paolo.

[HAROLD] I'm Carl's dad.

[HAROLD] Do you live around here?

[♪]

[PAOLO] I live in the building.

[♪]

[PAOLO] Mom, Dad.

[♪]

[♪] [Cash register beeps]

[♪]

[HAROLD] Oh, your parents own the store?

[PAOLO] Mm-hmm.

[CARL] I live here, too.

[CARL] Well, I also live with my mama.

[CARL] I have two homes, but only one school.

[CARL] Mr. Kelly is my teacher, and I'm a collector.

[CARL] I collect all kinds of things.

[CARL] Rocks, marbles, feathers, pine cones, seashells, bouncy

[CARL] ba*ls, stickers.

[PAOLO] [Excited]

[Button clicks]

[PAOLO] Stickers.

[♪]

[CARL] Wow, you collect the little stickers that go on

[CARL] bananas?

[PAOLO] Yeah, yeah.

[CARL] Banana! I like bananas, just not when they're brown and

[CARL] mushy.

[CARL] Yuck.

[PAOLO] [Grossed out sound]

[CARL] [Giggle]

[HAROLD] It seems like you two have a lot in common.

[PAOLO'S MOM] Paolo! come up front, please.

[♪]

[PAOLO] Goodbye, Carl.

[♪]

[CARL] Bye, Paolo.

[CARL] It was nice meeting you.

[CARL] Maybe I'll see you another time.

[CARL] Your parents sell really good snacks.

[♪]

[PAOLO] Goodbye.

[♪]

[CARL] Got it.

[CARL] Do you think we can stop by the market before we go to

[CARL] the fishy fountain today? so I can give this sticker to

[CARL] Paolo for his collection?

[HAROLD] We sure can.

[HAROLD] That's kind of you, Carl.

[CARL] Dad, why does Paolo use a tablet to talk?

[HAROLD] Well, there are a few reasons why someone might use a

[HAROLD] device to speak.

[HAROLD] Paolo could have apraxia.

[ARUGULA] That's a condition that makes it difficult to speak

[ARUGULA] the correct sounds and words.

[CARL] You know how you said Paolo and I have a lot in

[CARL] common?

[HAROLD] Do you think he could be autistic too?

[HAROLD] Could be, Carl.

[CARL] But I'm autistic and I can speak with my voice, and

[CARL] Paolo mostly uses a tablet.

[♪]

[HAROLD] That's true.

[HAROLD] Not everyone who's autistic is the same.

[♪]

[CARL] Like me and Lotta.

[♪]

[CARL] Lotta does not like strong smells, but I do!

[CARL] Well, except for some flowers.

[CARL] I'm really glad Paolo has the tablet to help him talk and

[CARL] say what he's thinking and feeling.

[♪]

[HAROLD] Me too, Carl.

[♪]

[CARL] Dad, can I video chat with Mama?

[CARL] I want to tell her something.

[♪]

[HAROLD] You bet!

[Phone dialing]

[Dial tone]

[CARL'S MAMA] Hi, Carl.

[CARL] Mama, guess what?

[CARL] I made a new friend!

[CARL] His name is Paolo.

[CARL] He lives in Dad's building, and his parents own

[CARL] the store downstairs.

[CARL] Guess what else?

[CARL] He collects the little stickers you put on bananas.

[CARL's MAMA] That's wonderful, Carl.

[CARL] Also, there's a % chance for showers today.

[CARL] Even though that means it's more likely it won't rain,

[CARL] I'm going to pack our umbrellas, because % is not

[CARL] %. Bye!

[CARL'S MAMA] Bye, Carl! Have fun today!

[♪]

[Cash Register Beeps]

[♪]

[CARL] Paolo?

[CARL] Paolo, where are you?

[♪]

[CARL] It's me, Carl.

[♪]

[CARL] [Sigh]

[♪]

[PAOLO] [Greeting sound]

[♪]

[CARL] Oh, hi.

[CARL] There you are.

[CARL] I have something for you.

[♪]

[PAOLO] Giggle

[♪]

[PAOLO] Thank you.

[♪]

[PAOLO] For you.

[CARL] Whoa! this bouncy ball is amazing!

[CARL] It looks like a planet!

[♪] [Bounce, bounce]

[♪]

[PAOLO] Neptune, my favorite!

[♪]

[CARL] Awesome!

[CARL] My favorite planet is Jupiter.

[♪] [Bounce, Bounce]

[PAOLO] Biggest planet out there.

[CARL] That is correct.

[CARL] It's also the oldest planet in our solar system.

[♪]

[PAOLO] Love space.

[♪]

[CARL] Me too!

[♪]

[PAOLO] [Excited sound]

[♪] [Button click]

[PAOLO] Happy.

[CARL] This new bouncy ball for my collection makes me happy,

[CARL] too.

[CARL] Thanks, Paolo!

[♪]

[HAROLD] One Fuzzy-O orange juice, no pulp, for the road?

[HAROLD] Hi, Paolo.

[CARL] [sipping straw]

[PAOLO] Hello.

[CARL] Thanks, Dad.

[♪]

[CARL] We're heading over to the fishy fountain park if you want

[CARL] to join us later.

[PAOLO] Maybe.

[CARL] Okay. Bye!

[HAROLD] Goodbye, Paolo. Nice to see you again!

[♪]

[♪] [Fountain and street sounds]

[CARL] Paolo! Over here!

[KID AT PARK] Don't bother asking him to play.

[KID AT PARK] He doesn't talk.

[CARL] Don't ask him to play?

[CARL] This feels like that time a kid in school called me the

[CARL] autistic kid. I need to collect my thoughts.

[♪]

[KID AT PARK] Don't bother asking him to play.

[KID AT PARK] He's autistic.

[♪]

[KID AT PARK] Don't bother asking him to play.

[KID AT PARK] He's autistic!

[KID AT PARK] Don't bother asking him to play.

[KID AT PARK] He's autistic!

[KID AT PARK] Don't bother asking him to play.

[♪]

[KID AT PARK] He's autistic!

[♪]

[CARL] It wasn't nice.

[CARL] It didn't feel good.

[CARL] But then Sheldon and Arugula asked me to play with

[CARL] them.

[♪]

[CARL] That helped, but I still remember that bad feeling.

[CARL] Everyone should be invited to play!

[♪]

[CARL] His name is Paolo, and he does talk.

[CARL] He just talks with the help of his tablet.

[CARL] And for your information, Paolo is also very nice, and he

[CARL] collects stickers, and he likes astronomy.

[CARL] His favorite planet is Neptune, so I'm going to go

[CARL] invite him to play.

[♪]

[KID AT PARK] Oh, OK, cool.

[♪]

[PAOLO'S MOM] You must be Carl.

[PAOLO'S MOM] Paolo's told me all about you.

[CARL] I like your store.

[PAOLO'S MOM] Aw, thank you, Carl.

[PAOLO'S MOM] Oh! Gotta fill up my water bottle.

[PAOLO'S MOM] Be right back, Paolo.

[CARL] Do you want to play a beach ball game with me and my

[CARL] friends over by the fountain?

[♪]

[♪] [Button click]

[PAOLO] No, thank you.

[♪]

[CARL] Are you sure?

[♪]

[PAOLO] Can't get tablet wet.

[CARL] Oh, I understand.

[Ball splashing] [♪]

[♪] [City traffic sounds]

[CARL] Hmm, % chance of rain.

[CARL] Don't move.

[CARL] I'll be right back.

[CARL] Just got to get something from my backpack.

[CARL] Perfect.

[CARL] Fuzzy Scouts are always prepared.

[PAOLO] [Excited sound] [♪]

[♪]

[PAOLO] [Cheering]

[CARL] Everyone, this is Paolo.

[CARL] He's my friend.

[KID AT PARK] Hi, Paolo!

[PAOLO] [Excitied sound]

[KID AT PARK] Woo-hoo!

[♪]

[♪] [Rain falling]

[CARL] I knew it! % chance of rain.

[♪]

[PAOLO] But we're dry.

[♪]

[CARL/PAOLO] Let's keep playing!

[♪]

[PAOLO] You're it!

[Rain]

[CARL] Got you.

[CARL] You're it!

[CARL/PAOLO][Laughing] [Rain]

[♪]

[CARL] Lotta the Copycat.

[♪]

[Lotta] [pencil sketching sounds] [♪]

[♪] [Fly buzzing]

[NICO] Shoo fly, don't bother me!

[Fly buzzing]

[LOTTA] Try not to move so much, Nico.

[♪]

[ARUGULA] Ooh, I can't wait to see our sister portrait!

[ARUGULA] How's it coming, Lotta?

[LOTTA] Great, if you both just stay still.

[NICO] Hey! This reminds me of when we first met!

[NICO] You were drawing under the same tree!

[LOTTA] Oh, yeah.

[LOTTA] I had just moved into Fuzzytown.

[LOTTA] We weren't friends yet.

[LOTTA] I really wanted to play with you guys, but I was so

[LOTTA] nervous.

[ARUGULA] Really?

[NICO] Don't you remember, Ru-Ru?

[NICO] We were jumping rope right over there!

[LOTTA] Oh, yes.

[♪]

[NICO/ARUGLA] [giggling]

[LOTTA] And I would daydream about playing with you.

[FUZZY FRIENDS] [Cheering] [♪]

[Jump rope skipping]

[Jump rope skipping] [FUZZY FRIENDS] [Giggling]

[Jump rope skipping] [♪]

[LOTTA] [Sigh]

[LOTTA] I wish they were really my friends.

[Ball bouncing] [Jump Rope skipping]

[♪] [Jump Rope skipping]

[SHELDON] My ball.

[ARUGULA] That's the new girl, Lotta.

[ARUGULA] She's in my art class.

[ARUGULA] She's really good.

[ARUGULA] Hey, Lotta!

[SHELDON] Can you kick the ball back?

[LOTTA] Er, what?

[♪]

[LOTTA] Oh.

[Kicking air]

[LOTTA] Whoa!

[♪]

[♪]

[SHELDON] That's OK.

[♪]

[SHELDON] I got it.

[SHELDON] Nico, catch!

[♪]

[NICO] We were just talking about the new Will and Fred

[NICO] movie.

[LOTTA] My favorite part is when Fred says, I can't put my arms

[LOTTA] down!

[LOTTA] It's so funny, I crack up every time!

[FUZZY FRIENDS] [Laughing]

[LOTTA] Wow, Nico has a lot of friends.

[LOTTA] I wish I could be more like her.

[♪]

[LOTTA] So confident and funny.

[FUZZY FRIENDS] [Laughing]

[SHELDON] What about you, Lotta?

[SHELDON] Have you seen the new Will and Fred movie?

[♪]

[LOTTA] Of course.

[♪]

[LOTTA] My favorite part is when Fred says, I can't put my arms

[LOTTA] down.

[LOTTA] So funny.

[LOTTA] I crack up every time.

[NICO] That's what I just said.

[LOTTA] Uhh... yeah.

[LOTTA] I guess we think a lot alike.

[School bell ringing]

[SHELDON] Race you back to class!

[Running foot steps]

[MR. KELLEY] Okay. The next slide is lily pollen.

[♪]

[CARL] Whoa.

[♪]

[NICO] It looks like giant fluff ba*ls!

[♪]

[MR. KELLEY] On to bugs.

[MR. KELLEY] Let's take a look at a cicada's wing.

[CARL] Did you know the shell left behind by a cicada is

[CARL] called an exuviae?

[LOTTA] Yes!

[LOTTA] And cicadas also... Oh... Um...

[♪]

[LOTTA] Uh, never mind.

[NICO] I hate bugs!

[NICO] They're so... creepy-crawly!

[FUZZY FRIENDS] [Laughing]

[CARL] They are not creepy-crawly, Nico.

[SHELDON] It's Lotta's turn, Nico.

[♪]

[LOTTA] Whoa!

[♪]

[LOTTA] I hate bugs.

[LOTTA] They're so... creepy-crawly.

[NICO] Heh. Right!

[♪]

[MR. KELLY] It's time for Free Play.

[MR. KELLY] We've got several centers set up.

[MR. KELLY] The Lost City of Atlantis, also known as the

[MR. KELLY] Water Center.

[♪]

[MR. KELLY] The Sahara Desert, also known as the Sand Center.

[MR. KELLY] Michelangelo's Place, also known as the Clay

[MR. KELLY] Center.

[MR. KELLY] And of course, the Terrarium, or as I like to call

[MR. KELLY] it, the Lost Woods.

[EVERYONE] Cheering

[♪]

[LOTTA] Sculpting is my first choice.

[CARL] The terrarium center is my favorite!

[CARL] A terrarium is like an aquarium, except it's for plants

[CARL] rather than fish!

[SHELDON] The terrarium is super cool.

[SHELDON] The friendship plant is my favorite.

[NICO] Hurry, we've got to get to the water center first!

[♪]

[LOTTA] I like sculpting, but no one else is there.

[LOTTA] They might think I'm weird.

[FUZZY FRIENDS] [Laughing]

[♪]

[LOTTA] Everyone likes Nico.

[LOTTA] If I keep copying her, people will like me too.

[♪]

[NICO] The yellow seahorse is my favorite!

[LOTTA] The yellow seahorse is my favorite too.

[NICO] I wanted that!

[LOTTA] Oh, sorry.

[LOTTA] Here, you can have it.

[NICO] No, it's fine.

[NICO] You can have it.

[ARUGULA] Oh, there's another yellow seahorse right here.

[NICO] First, it has to go through the marshy waters.

[LOTTA] Mine too.

[LOTTA] It goes through the marshy waters.

[♪]

[NICO] Then, it swims to the top of the underwater castle.

[LOTTA] My seahorse also wants to swim to the top of the

[LOTTA] castle.

[NICO] Are you copying me?

[LOTTA] Our seahorses just like the same things.

[NICO] It's my game!

[School bell ringing]

[Foot steps]

[♪]

[Lotta] Ow! [Nico] Oof!

[NICO] Ow, Lotta!

[NICO] Watch where you're going!

[LOTTA] Sorry, I was just trying to follow you.

[NICO] Well, stop it!

[♪]

[NICO] Hmph!

[♪]

[LOTTA] [Sigh] [♪]

[♪]

[NICO] The new girl has been copying me all day.

[NICO] It's super annoying!

[NICO/ARUGLA] [Eating]

[ARUGULA] She's new. It's hard being the new student in school.

[NICO] New or not, I don't like it!

[NICO] It's like she's making fun of me or something!

[ARUGULA] Maybe she's copying you, but I don't think she's

[ARUGULA] making fun of you.

[ARUGULA] Oh, there she is. Hey, Lotta, join us!

[NICO] No, don't!

[NICO] She's just going to keep copying me!

[LOTTA] Thanks for letting me sit here.

[ARUGULA] Of course!

[ARUGULA] I really liked what you were drawing yesterday in

[ARUGULA] art class.

[LOTTA] Oh, thanks. I was drawing my favorite character

[LOTTA] from Friendicorn High.

[ARUGULA] Friendicorn High?

[ARUGULA] I've seen that show.

[LOTTA] Have you?

[LOTTA] It's my favorite show because...

[SHELDON] Hi, everyone.

[♪]

[ARUGULA] What were you going to say, Lotta?

[LOTTA] Oh, um, nothing.

[NICO] We should go to the creek after school today.

[NICO] I've got something special to show you guys.

[LOTTA] That's right.

[LOTTA] We should go to the creek after school.

[LOTTA] I've got something special to show you guys, too.

[NICO] Are you making fun of me?!

[LOTTA] No, I wasn't. I was just...

[NICO] You've been copying me all day, Lotta, and it's not

[NICO] very nice!

[NICO] You're being a total... copycat!

[LOTTA] Uhh... I forgot something back in the classroom.

[LOTTA] I better go get it.

[SHELDON] What was that about, Nico?

[NICO] She made me mad.

[NICO] She's been copying me and making fun of me!

[SHELDON] Yeah, I noticed she's been following you around a lot.

[SHELDON] It didn't seem like she was being mean about it,

[SHELDON] though.

[NICO] But why else would she do that?

[NICO] Why would she copy me?

[SHELDON] That's a good question.

[SHELDON] Maybe she was trying to get your attention for some

[SHELDON] reason.

[ARUGULA] Maybe we should just ask her.

[ARUGULA] We could invite her to the creek to find out what's

[ARUGULA] going on.

[ARUGULA] Would that be OK?

[NICO] No, thanks.

[SHELDON] It might be good to get Lotta's side of the story,

[SHELDON] Nico.

[♪]

[NICO] Ugh, fine.

[NICO] But if she copies me again, that's it!

[♪]

[NICO] Did you invite Lotta?

[ARUGULA] I did.

[ARUGULA] She said she'd be here soon.

[NICO] Whatever.

[CARL] What did you want to show us, Nico?

[NICO] Oh, it's really weird.

[NICO] It's right over here.

[SHELDON] Whoa, that's a pretty big rock.

[NICO] It's not just a rock.

[FUZZY FRIENDS] Ooooh!

[NICO] I hate bugs, but I know you guys don't.

[NICO] So I figured you'd like it.

[ARUGULA] That's a bug?

[NICO] I don't know what it is.

[LOTTA] It's called a crayfish.

[LOTTA] And if you gently pick it up behind its head without

[LOTTA] squeezing it, it won't pinch you.

[LOTTA] If you really look at it, it's actually kind of cute.

[NICO] If you say so.

[ARUGULA] Wait.

[ARUGULA] I thought you said you didn't like bugs, Lotta.

[LOTTA] Technically, a crayfish isn't a bug.

[LOTTA] It's not a fish either.

[LOTTA] It's a kind of crustacean, like lobsters and

[LOTTA] crabs.

[NICO] Well, whatever.

[NICO] You still spent the day copying me, and I want to know

[NICO] why.

[LOTTA] Oh, well, uh...

[♪]

[LOTTA] The truth is, sometimes in new situations, I get nervous

[LOTTA] and I don't know what to say, so I copy people around me.

[NICO] Oh, is that why you were copying me all day?

[LOTTA] I just wanted you guys to like me.

[LOTTA] Nico is so cool and funny, and you all already like

[LOTTA] her.

[LOTTA] So I thought if I acted like Nico, you would all like me

[LOTTA] too.

[ARUGULA] But you're really cool, Lotta.

[ARUGULA] I've never seen anyone so good at drawing.

[NICO] So you really weren't making fun of me when we were at

[NICO] centers?

[LOTTA] No way.

[LOTTA] I just wanted to be popular, like you.

[NICO] Well, I am pretty popular. ha, ha, ha

[NICO] Just kidding.

[NICO] Thanks for explaining, Lotta.

[NICO] I guess I should have talked to you before I let

[NICO] myself get so upset.

[♪]

[LOTTA] And that's how we met.

[NICO] And we've been friends ever since!

[LOTTA] Yep. Now hold still, friends.

[LOTTA][Drawing] [♪]

[ARUGULA] Wow, Lotta, you're so good.

[NICO] It really is beautiful, Lotta.

[LOTTA] It's OK.

[LOTTA] I wish I had done a better job with your ears.

[NICO] What are you talking about?

[NICO] They look even better than my real ears.

[♪]

[ARUGULA] [giggles]

[NICO] Let's go jump some rope!

[NICO] You coming, Lotta?

[LOTTA] You guys go ahead.

[LOTTA] I'm not so good at jumping rope.

[LOTTA] It's okay.

[NICO] I'll help you learn if you want.

[NICO] Just copy my moves.
