Transcript: The Bottle Cap Collection
[Groovy music plays]
Carl, a young raccoon, sits among a collection of stuffed animals in his bedroom.
Singers sing, YES! IT'S CARL! THE COLLECTOR!
Carl jumps out from the pile of stuffed animals. He wears a black, white and grey sweater vest over a mustard-yellow short-sleeved polo shirt. At a table, Carl smells a green pickle sticker from his sticker collection.
The singers sing, IT'S CARL, IT'S CARL, ABSO-LUTE-LY!
Carl imagines himself flying over an ocean of pickle juice on two slices of pickle. On a park trail, he rides his teal bike wearing a matching teal helmet.
The singers sing, CARL! IT’S CARL! THE COLLECTOR!
Carl’s friends follow him down the trail, all wearing helmets. Sheldon, a beaver wearing a green plaid shirt, rides a green bike with Forrest, a grey squirrel wearing a white T-shirt, on his back. Arugula and Nico, pink rabbits wearing matching mustard-yellow dresses, ride on either side of Sheldon. Arugula rides a bike, and Nico rides a skateboard.
The singers sing, IT'S CARL! IT'S CARL! THE COLLECTOR!
Carl and his friends ride up to Pyramid Pizza and join Lotta, a fox wearing a teal jumpsuit. Everyone holds up jars of collected items, including toy trucks, nuts and bolts, watches and pom-poms.
The singers chant, CARL! CARL! CARL! CARL! CARL! THE COLLECTOR!
The title reads, “Carl the Collector. Created by Zachariah Ohora.” In his bedroom, Carl puts a jar with the episode title on a cube shelf. He reads the title.
Carl says, THE BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION.
At night, lights shine from Carl’s house.
[Owl hooting]
[Crickets chirping]
[Carl grunting]
Carl carries his backpack into his room. He closes and leans against the door.
Carl groans, OH, MY BACKPACK IS SO HEAVY!
Carl stumbles and yelps, WHOAAA!
Carl falls onto his backpack. He tries to stand and kicks at the air.
Carl says, ONE. TWO. THREE.
Carl pulls his arms out of the backpack straps and jumps to his feet. Carl pulls a jar of fortune cookies and a box of dryer lint dinosaurs out of his backpack and sets them on the floor.
Carl says, HOPE I DIDN'T MESS UP ANY OF MY COLLECTIONS!
[Two-way radio beeping]
Through a two-way radio, Sheldon says, THIS IS SHELDON, CALLING FOR CARL. COME IN, CARL!
Carl grabs his two-way radio off his bedside table.
Into the radio, Carl says, GO FOR CARL!
From his bedroom, Sheldon says, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK, CARL OLD PAL! I MISSED YOU! HOW WAS THE WEEKEND AT YOUR DAD'S?
Carl says, IT WAS SPECTACULAR! WE HAD DINNER AT A CHINESE RESTAURANT, AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
Sheldon says, YOU GOT A NEW FORTUNE FOR YOUR FORTUNE COOKIE COLLECTION?
Carl reaches toward the jar and box at his feet.
[Rustling]
Carl holds up a fortune cookie.
Carl says, YES!
Carl blows through the fortune cookie.
[Fortune cookie whistling]
Carl blows the paper with the fortune out of the cookie.
Sheldon says, WHOA, WHAT DOES IT SAY?
Carl reads the fortune.
Carl says, THE UNIVERSE SMILES UPON YOU.
Sheldon says, OHHH! THAT'S DEEP.
Carl says, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT THEN WE WENT TO THE LAUNDROMAT TO DO LAUNDRY, AND I FOUND BIG PUFFS OF LINT IN THE DRYER, SO GUESS WHAT I MADE?!
Sheldon says, A LINT DINOSAUR FOR YOUR LINT DINOSAUR COLLECTION!
Carl grabs one of the lint dinosaurs from the box at his feet.
Carl says, YES! I CALL IT LINT-O-SAURUS REX!
Sheldon says, I MADE A LINT DINOSAUR THIS WEEKEND TOO! IT'S A TRI-LINT-OTOPS! AND I'M DONATING IT TO YOUR COLLECTION!
Carl says, AWESOME! TOMORROW AFTER SCHOOL WE CAN PLAY WITH THE WHOLE COLLECTION!
Carl holds up his lint-o-saurus rex and says, ROOOOOOOAAAAR!
Sheldon holds up his tri-lint-otops and says, ROOOOAAAR!
Carl says, ROOOOAAAAAR!
Sheldon says, ROOOOOOOOAAAR!
Carl says, ROOOOAAAAAR!
Sheldon says, ROAR!
Carl says, ROAR!
Carl’s Mama walks into the room.
Carl’s Mama says, ALRIGHT, CARL. THAT'S ABOUT ENOUGH DINOSAUR ROARS FOR THIS EVENING. TIME FOR BED, OKAY?
Carl looks at his Mama and says, OKAY, MAMA!
Carl’s Mama leaves and closes the door behind her.
Into his two-way radio, Carl says, I GOTTA GO, SHELDON! SEE YOU TOMORROW!
Through the radio, Sheldon says, GOODNIGHT, CARL OLD BUDDY! OVER AND OUT.
[Two-way radio beeping]
Later at night, Carl climbs into bed wearing teal pyjamas.
[Carl yawning]
Carl says, TIME FOR SLEEP.
Carl lies between his stuffed animals. He pulls the blanket over himself and closes his eyes. He frowns, and tosses and turns. He opens his eyes and sits up in bed.
Carl says, OH NO!
Carl looks at an empty cube shelf across from his bed.
[Ominous music plays]
Carl says, OH NO, NO, NO, NO. NO!
Carl jumps out of bed and looks in his bag.
Carl groans, AUGH!
Carl looks in the empty shelf.
Carl says, WHERE IS IT? IT HAS TO BE HERE! IT JUST HAS TO!
On his loft bed, Sheldon sleeps beside his two-way radio.
[Two-way radio beeping]
Through the two-way radio, Carl says, SHELDON!
Sheldon wakes up and looks around.
Sheldon says, AH! EEE…WHA?
Sheldon sits up and grabs his two-way radio.
Into the radio, Sheldon asks, WHAT IS IT, CARL?
From beside his bed, Carl says, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU LATE, SHELDON. BUT IT'S A REAL BEST-BUDDY-FUZZIE-TALKIE EMERGENCY!
Sheldon asks, WHAT'S THE EMERGENCY?
Carl says, I FORGOT MY BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION! MY BESTEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS IS STILL AT MY DAD'S HOUSE!
Carl wiggles his fingers.
[Sheldon yawning]
Sheldon lies back and says, OH! I'M SO SORRY. WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO TO SLEEP SO THE MORNING WILL COME QUICKLY AND YOU CAN GET YOUR BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION BACK?
Carl says, AH, YES! THAT IS A SUPERB IDEA, SHELDON! OPERATION BACK-TO-SLEEP IS UNDERWAY!
Sheldon says, NIGHT, CARL!
[Two-way radio beeping]
Carl puts his two-way radio on his bedside table. He climbs into bed and closes his eyes. Carl opens one eye and looks toward the empty shelf.
[Ominous music plays]
Carl wails, AHHH!
Carl rolls onto his belly and hugs his pillow.
[Ominous music continues]
Carl turns back to face the empty shelf.
Carl wails, AHHH!
Carl gazes up at the glow-in-the-dark solar system on his ceiling.
[Magical music plays]
Carl groans, AUGH. I CAN'T DO THIS!
[Two-way radio beeping]
In his bedroom, Sheldon lies asleep in bed.
Through Sheldon’s two-way radio, Carl says, SHELDON! COME IN, SHELDON!
Sheldon jolts awake and yelps, AH!
Sheldon throws off his blanket and says, WHA –
Sheldon grabs his two-way radio.
Into the radio, Sheldon asks, WHAT IS IT, CARL?
From his bed, Carl says, OPERATION BACK-TO-SLEEP IS A SPECTACULAR FAILURE!
Sheldon says, THAT'S TOO BAD, BECAUSE I WAS TOTALLY BACK TO SLEEP! SNORING, DREAMING, YOU NAME IT, I WAS SLEEPING IT!
Sheldon climbs down the ladder to his loft bed.
Lying under his blanket, Carl says, YOU'RE LUCKY, SHELDON! BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT I DO, I CAN'T FALL ASLEEP!
Sheldon asks, WHY NOT?
Carl says, BECAUSE THERE IS AN EMPTY SPACE ON THE SHELF WHERE MY BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION SHOULD BE, AND THAT EMPTY SPACE MAKES ME FEEL EMPTY, SHELDON! I FEEL BAD!
Sheldon says, WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN TRY AND FILL THE SPACE.
Sheldon jumps onto his bean bag chair.
Sheldon says, THEN, YOU WOULDN'T NOTICE YOUR COLLECTION IS MISSING AND YOU AND I WOULD BOTH BE ABLE TO...
Sheldon’s eyes slowly close, and he falls asleep.
[Sheldon softly snoring]
Carl loudly asks, BE ABLE TO WHAT?!
Sheldon yelps, AAH!
Sheldon jolts awake.
Sheldon says, SLEEP! WE WILL BOTH BE ABLE TO SLEEP!
Carl says, HMM. THAT IS A SOLID IDEA, SHELDON! OPERATION SPACE-FILLER IS ON!
Sheldon falls back asleep. Carl puts down his two-way radio and hops off his bed. He grabs a book off his desk and stands it up inside the empty cube shelf.
Carl says, THERE!
Carl runs back to his bed and says, NOW I CAN GO TO SLEEP.
Carl closes his eyes. He opens one eye and looks at the book.
[Ominous music plays]
The book falls over. Carl squeezes his eyes closed, opens them, and frowns.
Carl says, NO, I CAN'T! THAT BOOK IS WAY TOO SMALL FOR THAT SPACE! WHAT ELSE CAN I USE?
Carl looks around. He grabs a pink elephant stuffed animal beside him and climbs out of bed. He swaps the book in the shelf for the elephant.
Carl says, MR. ELEPHANT WILL FILL IT UP NICELY.
Carl stuffs the elephant into the cube.
[Carl straining]
The front half of the elephant protrudes from the cube. Carl returns to his bed and smiles at the elephant staring back at him.
[Ominous music plays]
The elephant blinks.
Carl says, NOT GOOD! NOT GREAT!
Carl climbs out of bed and says, THIS IS WAY TOO BIG!
Carl looks under his bed and finds a dump truck.
Carl says, AHA!
Carl swaps the elephant for the truck.
Carl says, THAT FITS PERFECTLY!
Carl climbs into bed with the elephant.
Carl says, NOW I'LL DEFINITELY FALL ASLEEP!
Carl closes his eyes.
[Magical music plays]
Carl opens one eye and frowns.
[Ominous music plays]
Carl looks at the truck in the now half-empty shelf. The truck rolls off the shelf.
[Clanging]
Carl says, OH, DEFINITELY NOT!
Into his two-way radio, Carl says, SHELDON! COME IN, SHELDON!
In his room, Sheldon jerks awake and falls out of his bean bag chair.
Sheldon yelps, AH!
Sheldon grabs a slipper and asks, WHAT NOW, CARL?
Sheldon frowns and tosses the slipper aside.
Into his two-way radio, Sheldon says, OOPS! WHAT NOW, CARL?
From his bed, Carl says, OPERATION SPACE-FILLER IS A FAILURE!
Sheldon asks, WHAT WENT WRONG THIS TIME?
Carl says, I FILLED THE SPACE WITH SOMETHING THAT'S NOT MY BESTEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS. AND I STILL FEEL REALLY, REALLY BAD!
Sheldon walks across his room to a tent lined with pillows.
Sheldon says, OKAY, I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA THAT WILL WORK.
Sheldon crawls into the tent and lies on the pillows.
Sheldon says, AND ONCE YOU DO IT, WE WILL BOTH...
Sheldon relaxes onto the pillows and says, BOTH...
Carl sits up and loudly asks, BOTH WHAT?!
Sheldon jumps in surprise and says, SLEEP! WE WILL BOTH SLEEP!
Carl says, THAT'S GREAT! WHAT'S THE IDEA?
Sheldon says, YOU START A NEW BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION FROM THE BOTTLE CAPS YOU FIND AROUND YOUR HOUSE.
Carl says, SHELDON, THAT IS A BRILLIANT IDEA! OPERATION SECOND-BEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!
[Gentle groovy music plays]
Carl walks into the kitchen with a flashlight and an empty jar. He shines the flashlight around the room onto a recycling bin.
Carl says, AHA!
Carl turns off the flashlight and walks over to the bin.
Carl says, I BET THERE ARE LOTS OF BOTTLE CAPS IN THERE!
Carl puts down the flashlight and jar and looks inside the bin. He reaches for a single blue bottle cap at the bottom of the otherwise empty bin.
Carl says, OOF! IT'S TOO FAR DOWN.
Carl jumps onto the rim of the bin. His feet dangle behind him.
Carl says, STILL CAN'T GET IT.
Carl falls into the bin.
Carl yelps, WHOA! OW!
Carl stands up inside the bin. The bottle cap sticks to his nose
Carl says, GOT IT!
Carl climbs out of the bin and drops the bottle cap into the jar. He grabs the jar and the flashlight and continues through the house.
By the kitchen table, Carl says, YOW!
A bent orange bottle cap sticks to his foot.
Carl says, NOT REALLY COLLECTION-WORTHY, BUT I NEED EVERY CAP I CAN FIND.
Carl adds the orange cap to his jar. In the living room, the couch cushions move.
[Carl grunting]
Carl pops up from under a cushion.
Carl says, YES!
Carl opens his paw, revealing an orange button.
Carl says, A BUTTON?! AWWW. BUT I WILL PUT IT IN MY BUTTON COLLECTION.
In his bedroom, Carl puts his new bottle cap collection jar in the empty cube shelf.
Carl says, THERE! A SECOND-BEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS! NOW I CAN SLEEP.
Carl climbs into bed and closes his eyes. He tosses and turns. Carl opens his eyes and looks toward the bottle cap collection jar.
[Ominous music plays]
Carl says, AW! WHO AM I KIDDING? THAT IS THE WORST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS!
In Sheldon’s room, Sheldon sleeps on his back in his tent.
Through his two-way radio, Carl says, SHELDON! COME IN, SHELDON!
Sheldon wakes up, and the tent collapses on top of him.
Sheldon yelps, AHH!
From inside the tent, Sheldon pushes at the tent walls.
Sheldon asks, WHAT NOW, CARL?!
From his bed, Carl says, I'M SORRY, SHELDON! I KNOW I'VE BEEN BOTHERING YOU ALL NIGHT.
Sheldon crawls out from under the tent.
Into his two-way radio, Sheldon says, IT'S OKAY, BUDDY! I'M HERE FOR YOU ANYTIME. EVEN 11:18 P.M. APPARENTLY! LET ME JUST WAKE MYSELF UP!
Sheldon climbs out from under the tent and does jumping jacks.
[Sheldon panting]
Sheldon taps his tail against a tree stump.
[Tapping]
Sheldon squeezes his cheeks.
[Squeaking]
Sheldon sits on the tree stump and shakes his head.
[Sheldon blabbering]
Into his two-way radio, Sheldon says, OKAY! READY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
Carl says, I MADE ANOTHER BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME, AND I STILL FEEL REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD!
Sheldon says, WHOA! WHAT KIND OF REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD FEELING ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
Carl says, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS! BUT IT FEELS BIG! AND KIND OF CONFUSING!
Sheldon says, I'VE FELT STUFF LIKE THAT BEFORE, CARL. TELL ME HOW IT FEELS AND MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU FIGURE IT OUT.
Carl lies back on his bed and says, I FEEL REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD BECAUSE I WANT MY COLLECTION HERE IN MY ROOM WITH ME, BUT NO MATTER WHAT I DO, I CAN'T HAVE IT!
Sheldon says, I KNOW THAT ONE. I FELT THE SAME WAY WHEN I WANTED TO SEE THE MOVIE "CHOMPIN' 2: ELECTRIC BEAVEROO", BUT IT WASN'T PLAYING ANYWHERE IN FUZZYTOWN!
Carl sits up on the edge of his bed.
Carl asks, HOW IS THAT THE SAME AS WHAT I'M FEELING?
Sheldon says, WELL, I REALLY WANTED TO SEE THE MOVIE, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT, JUST LIKE THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT YOUR BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION. AND THAT MADE ME FEEL FRUSTRATED.
Carl says, YES, THAT'S IT! I'M FRUSTRATED! I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH MYSELF BECAUSE I FORGOT MY BESTEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS, AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO TO GET THEM BACK!
Carl wiggles his fingers.
Sheldon says, SORRY, BUDDY. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER?
Carl says, HMM. I THINK I'D BE LESS FRUSTRATED IF I KNEW I'D NEVER FORGET A COLLECTION AGAIN.
Sheldon says, HEY! MAYBE WE CAN THINK OF SOMETHING TO HELP WITH THAT.
Carl says, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA! LET ME COLLECT MY THOUGHTS!
Carl sits against his pillows and stuffed animals.
Carl asks, HOW CAN I MAKE SURE I NEVER FORGET ONE OF MY PRECIOUS COLLECTIONS AGAIN?
Carl wiggles his fingers.
[Whooshing]
Carl thinks about himself standing beside a thought in his brain. The thought shows Carl’s collections strapped to him. The collections include a jar of dice, flowers, balls, and sports gear, such as a football, baseball, and tennis rackets.
[Gentle upbeat music plays]
Carl says, OH! MAYBE I CAN TIE ALL MY COLLECTIONS AROUND ME, SO THEY'RE ALWAYS THERE WITH ME!
In the thought, Carl collapses with all his collections.
Carl says, ON SECOND THOUGHT, THAT MIGHT BE TOO BULKY.
Carl collects the thought in an empty jar.
[Carl sighing]
Carl runs over to a second thought.
Carl says, AH! I KNOW! I LOVE TO MAKE LISTS!
The second thought shows a bottle of stars, a jar of balls, and three cubes, including a die and a Rubik’s cube. A notepad shows drawings of each item.
Carl says, YES! I CAN MAKE A CHECKLIST OF ALL MY COLLECTIONS THAT I TAKE TO MY DAD'S! THIS WAY I CAN CHECK EACH ONE OFF AS I PACK MY BAG TO GO BACK TO
MAMA'S HOUSE.
Carl collects the second thought.
Through Carl’s two-way radio, Sheldon says, AWESOME IDEA, CARL. THEN YOU WON'T EVER FORGET A COLLECTION AGAIN.
[Sheldon yawning]
Sheldon says, NOW WE SLEEP! G'NITE, CARL!
[Ominous music plays]
Carl frowns. A third thought pulses. On the tree stump in his room, Sheldon sleeps.
[Sheldon snoring]
Through his two-way radio, Carl says, SHELDON.
Sheldon wakes and says, YES, CARL?
Among his thoughts, Carl says, I THOUGHT I WAS JUST FEELING ONE THING, BUT I THINK I FEEL ANOTHER FEELING TOO!
Sheldon says, I GET THAT. LIKE RIGHT NOW, I FEEL LIKE I REALLY WANT TO HELP YOU, BUT I ALSO FEEL LIKE I REALLY WANT TO SLEEP.
Carl says, AND I DON'T JUST FEEL FRUSTRATED. I FEEL THAT MY BESTEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS MAY NOT BE SAFE, BECAUSE I'M NOT THERE TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
A thought with Carl’s bottle cap collection floats down into Carl’s jar of collected thoughts.
Carl says, I'M FEELING...I'M FEELING...WORRIED.
[Whooshing]
In bed, Carl says into his two-way radio, I'M FRUSTRATED AND I'M WORRIED!
Sheldon says, THOSE ARE TWO BIG FEELINGS! WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER?
Carl says, IF I KNOW MY BOTTLE CAPS WERE SAFE.
Sheldon asks, IS THERE ANY WAY TO DO THAT?
Carl says, OOH! YES! I HAVE AN IDEA. THANKS, SHELDON!
Sheldon says, GOOD LUCK, CARL.
Carl changes channels on his two-way radio.
Into the radio, Carl says, MAMA! COME IN, MAMA! OVER.
[Two-way radio beeping]
Through the two-way radio, Carl’s Mama says, MAMA HERE! YOU NEED A DRINK OF WATER, CARL? OVER.
Carl says, IT'S SOMETHING ELSE AND IT'S IMPORTANT. OVER.
Carl’s Mama says, TEN-FOUR, GOOD BUDDY. OVER AND OUT.
Carl puts the two-way radio on his bedside table. On a video call on a smartphone, Carl’s Dad picks up Carl’s jar of bottle caps.
Carl’s Dad says, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY WERE HERE. BUT HERE THEY ARE! AND EACH AND EVERY BOTTLE CAP IS SAFE AND SOUND.
On the video call, Carl’s Dad shows Carl the bottle cap collection. On Carl’s bed, Carl’s Mama kneels beside Carl.
Carl says, AHH, THANKS, DAD! THAT MAKES ME FEEL A LOT BETTER!
Carl’s Dad says, YOU GOT IT, CARL! AND DON'T YOU WORRY, I'LL KEEP THEM SAFE AND BRING THEM BACK TO YOU IN THE MORNING. SLEEP WELL, CARL. LOVE YOU, BUDDY.
Carl says, LOVE YOU, DAD!
Carl’s Dad ends the video call.
[Phone beeping]
Carl’s Mama says, THERE. FEELING BETTER, CARL?
Carl says, MUCH! THANKS, MAMA!
Carl gives his Mama the phone and lies down under his blanket.
Carl’s Mama climbs off the bed and says, YOU'RE WELCOME, LOVE. GOODNIGHT.
Carl’s Mama kisses Carl’s forehead.
Carl’s Mama says, MWAH!
Carl’s Mama leaves, and Carl closes his eyes.
[Two-way radio beeping]
Through the two-way radio, Sheldon says, THIS IS SHELDON, CALLING FOR CARL. COME IN, CARL!
Carl grabs his two-way radio.
Through the radio, Sheldon asks, HOW YOU FEELING, BUDDY?
Carl quietly says, OPERATION SLEEPYTIME IS A...
Carl’s eyes slowly close.
[Carl sighing tiredly]
Through the radio, Sheldon whispers, YOU'RE WELCOME, BEST PAL! GOODNIGHT!

Lying under his blanket, Carl says, YOU'RE LUCKY, SHELDON! BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT I DO, I CAN'T FALL ASLEEP!
Sheldon asks, WHY NOT?
Carl says, BECAUSE THERE IS AN EMPTY SPACE ON THE SHELF WHERE MY BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION SHOULD BE, AND THAT EMPTY SPACE MAKES ME FEEL EMPTY, SHELDON! I FEEL BAD!

In his room, Sheldon jerks awake and falls out of his bean bag chair.
Sheldon yelps, AH!
Sheldon grabs a slipper and asks, WHAT NOW, CARL?
Sheldon frowns and tosses the slipper aside.
Into his two-way radio, Sheldon says, OOPS! WHAT NOW, CARL?
From his bed, Carl says, OPERATION SPACE-FILLER IS A FAILURE!
Sheldon asks, WHAT WENT WRONG THIS TIME?
Carl says, I FILLED THE SPACE WITH SOMETHING THAT'S NOT MY BESTEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS. AND I STILL FEEL REALLY, REALLY BAD!
Sheldon walks across his room to a tent lined with pillows.
Sheldon says, OKAY, I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA THAT WILL WORK.
Sheldon crawls into the tent and lies on the pillows.
Sheldon says, AND ONCE YOU DO IT, WE WILL BOTH...
Sheldon relaxes onto the pillows and says, BOTH...
Carl sits up and loudly asks, BOTH WHAT?!
Sheldon jumps in surprise and says, SLEEP! WE WILL BOTH SLEEP!
Carl says, THAT'S GREAT! WHAT'S THE IDEA?
Sheldon says, YOU START A NEW BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION FROM THE BOTTLE CAPS YOU FIND AROUND YOUR HOUSE.
Carl says, SHELDON, THAT IS A BRILLIANT IDEA! OPERATION SECOND-BEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!
[Gentle groovy music plays]
Carl walks into the kitchen with a flashlight and an empty jar. He shines the flashlight around the room onto a recycling bin.
Carl says, AHA!
Carl turns off the flashlight and walks over to the bin.
Carl says, I BET THERE ARE LOTS OF BOTTLE CAPS IN THERE!
Carl puts down the flashlight and jar and looks inside the bin. He reaches for a single blue bottle cap at the bottom of the otherwise empty bin.
Carl says, OOF! IT'S TOO FAR DOWN.
Carl jumps onto the rim of the bin. His feet dangle behind him.
Carl says, STILL CAN'T GET IT.
Carl falls into the bin.
Carl yelps, WHOA! OW!
Carl stands up inside the bin. The bottle cap sticks to his nose
Carl says, GOT IT!
Carl climbs out of the bin and drops the bottle cap into the jar. He grabs the jar and the flashlight and continues through the house.
By the kitchen table, Carl says, YOW!
A bent orange bottle cap sticks to his foot.
Carl says, NOT REALLY COLLECTION-WORTHY, BUT I NEED EVERY CAP I CAN FIND.
Carl adds the orange cap to his jar. In the living room, the couch cushions move.
[Carl grunting]
Carl pops up from under a cushion.
Carl says, YES!
Carl opens his paw, revealing an orange button.
Carl says, A BUTTON?! AWWW. BUT I WILL PUT IT IN MY BUTTON COLLECTION.
In his bedroom, Carl puts his new bottle cap collection jar in the empty cube shelf.
Carl says, THERE! A SECOND-BEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS! NOW I CAN SLEEP.
Carl climbs into bed and closes his eyes. He tosses and turns. Carl opens his eyes and looks toward the bottle cap collection jar.
[Ominous music plays]
Carl says, AW! WHO AM I KIDDING? THAT IS THE WORST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS!
In Sheldon’s room, Sheldon sleeps on his back in his tent.
Through his two-way radio, Carl says, SHELDON! COME IN, SHELDON!
Sheldon wakes up, and the tent collapses on top of him.
Sheldon yelps, AHH!
From inside the tent, Sheldon pushes at the tent walls.
Sheldon asks, WHAT NOW, CARL?!
From his bed, Carl says, I'M SORRY, SHELDON! I KNOW I'VE BEEN BOTHERING YOU ALL NIGHT.
Sheldon crawls out from under the tent.
Into his two-way radio, Sheldon says, IT'S OKAY, BUDDY! I'M HERE FOR YOU ANYTIME. EVEN 11:18 P.M. APPARENTLY! LET ME JUST WAKE MYSELF UP!
Sheldon climbs out from under the tent and does jumping jacks.
[Sheldon panting]
Sheldon taps his tail against a tree stump.
[Tapping]
Sheldon squeezes his cheeks.
[Squeaking]
Sheldon sits on the tree stump and shakes his head.
[Sheldon blabbering]
Into his two-way radio, Sheldon says, OKAY! READY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
Carl says, I MADE ANOTHER BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME, AND I STILL FEEL REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD!
Sheldon says, WHOA! WHAT KIND OF REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD FEELING ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
Carl says, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS! BUT IT FEELS BIG! AND KIND OF CONFUSING!
Sheldon says, I'VE FELT STUFF LIKE THAT BEFORE, CARL. TELL ME HOW IT FEELS AND MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU FIGURE IT OUT.
Carl lies back on his bed and says, I FEEL REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD BECAUSE I WANT MY COLLECTION HERE IN MY ROOM WITH ME, BUT NO MATTER WHAT I DO, I CAN'T HAVE IT!
Sheldon says, I KNOW THAT ONE. I FELT THE SAME WAY WHEN I WANTED TO SEE THE MOVIE "CHOMPIN' 2: ELECTRIC BEAVEROO", BUT IT WASN'T PLAYING ANYWHERE IN FUZZYTOWN!
Carl sits up on the edge of his bed.
Carl asks, HOW IS THAT THE SAME AS WHAT I'M FEELING?
Sheldon says, WELL, I REALLY WANTED TO SEE THE MOVIE, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT, JUST LIKE THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT YOUR BOTTLE CAP COLLECTION. AND THAT MADE ME FEEL FRUSTRATED.
Carl says, YES, THAT'S IT! I'M FRUSTRATED! I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH MYSELF BECAUSE I FORGOT MY BESTEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS, AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO TO GET THEM BACK!
Carl wiggles his fingers.
Sheldon says, SORRY, BUDDY. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER?
Carl says, HMM. I THINK I'D BE LESS FRUSTRATED IF I KNEW I'D NEVER FORGET A COLLECTION AGAIN.
Sheldon says, HEY! MAYBE WE CAN THINK OF SOMETHING TO HELP WITH THAT.
Carl says, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA! LET ME COLLECT MY THOUGHTS!
Carl sits against his pillows and stuffed animals.
Carl asks, HOW CAN I MAKE SURE I NEVER FORGET ONE OF MY PRECIOUS COLLECTIONS AGAIN?
Carl wiggles his fingers.
[Whooshing]
Carl thinks about himself standing beside a thought in his brain. The thought shows Carl’s collections strapped to him. The collections include a jar of dice, flowers, balls, and sports gear, such as a football, baseball, and tennis rackets.
[Gentle upbeat music plays]
Carl says, OH! MAYBE I CAN TIE ALL MY COLLECTIONS AROUND ME, SO THEY'RE ALWAYS THERE WITH ME!
In the thought, Carl collapses with all his collections.
Carl says, ON SECOND THOUGHT, THAT MIGHT BE TOO BULKY.
Carl collects the thought in an empty jar.
[Carl sighing]
Carl runs over to a second thought.
Carl says, AH! I KNOW! I LOVE TO MAKE LISTS!
The second thought shows a bottle of stars, a jar of balls, and three cubes, including a die and a Rubik’s cube. A notepad shows drawings of each item.
Carl says, YES! I CAN MAKE A CHECKLIST OF ALL MY COLLECTIONS THAT I TAKE TO MY DAD'S! THIS WAY I CAN CHECK EACH ONE OFF AS I PACK MY BAG TO GO BACK TO
MAMA'S HOUSE.
Carl collects the second thought.
Through Carl’s two-way radio, Sheldon says, AWESOME IDEA, CARL. THEN YOU WON'T EVER FORGET A COLLECTION AGAIN.
[Sheldon yawning]
Sheldon says, NOW WE SLEEP! G'NITE, CARL!
[Ominous music plays]
Carl frowns. A third thought pulses. On the tree stump in his room, Sheldon sleeps.
[Sheldon snoring]
Through his two-way radio, Carl says, SHELDON.
Sheldon wakes and says, YES, CARL?
Among his thoughts, Carl says, I THOUGHT I WAS JUST FEELING ONE THING, BUT I THINK I FEEL ANOTHER FEELING TOO!
Sheldon says, I GET THAT. LIKE RIGHT NOW, I FEEL LIKE I REALLY WANT TO HELP YOU, BUT I ALSO FEEL LIKE I REALLY WANT TO SLEEP.
Carl says, AND I DON'T JUST FEEL FRUSTRATED. I FEEL THAT MY BESTEST BOTTLE OF BOTTLE CAPS MAY NOT BE SAFE, BECAUSE I'M NOT THERE TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
A thought with Carl’s bottle cap collection floats down into Carl’s jar of collected thoughts.
Carl says, I'M FEELING...I'M FEELING...WORRIED.
[Whooshing]
In bed, Carl says into his two-way radio, I'M FRUSTRATED AND I'M WORRIED!
Sheldon says, THOSE ARE TWO BIG FEELINGS! WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER?
Carl says, IF I KNOW MY BOTTLE CAPS WERE SAFE.
Sheldon asks, IS THERE ANY WAY TO DO THAT?
Carl says, OOH! YES! I HAVE AN IDEA. THANKS, SHELDON!
Sheldon says, GOOD LUCK, CARL.
Carl changes channels on his two-way radio.
Into the radio, Carl says, MAMA! COME IN, MAMA! OVER.
[Two-way radio beeping]
Through the two-way radio, Carl’s Mama says, MAMA HERE! YOU NEED A DRINK OF WATER, CARL? OVER.
Carl says, IT'S SOMETHING ELSE AND IT'S IMPORTANT. OVER.
Carl’s Mama says, TEN-FOUR, GOOD BUDDY. OVER AND OUT.
Carl puts the two-way radio on his bedside table. On a video call on a smartphone, Carl’s Dad picks up Carl’s jar of bottle caps.
Carl’s Dad says, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY WERE HERE. BUT HERE THEY ARE! AND EACH AND EVERY BOTTLE CAP IS SAFE AND SOUND.
On the video call, Carl’s Dad shows Carl the bottle cap collection. On Carl’s bed, Carl’s Mama kneels beside Carl.
Carl says, AHH, THANKS, DAD! THAT MAKES ME FEEL A LOT BETTER!
Carl’s Dad says, YOU GOT IT, CARL! AND DON'T YOU WORRY, I'LL KEEP THEM SAFE AND BRING THEM BACK TO YOU IN THE MORNING. SLEEP WELL, CARL. LOVE YOU, BUDDY.
Carl says, LOVE YOU, DAD!
Carl’s Dad ends the video call.
[Phone beeping]
Carl’s Mama says, THERE. FEELING BETTER, CARL?
Carl says, MUCH! THANKS, MAMA!
Carl gives his Mama the phone and lies down under his blanket.
Carl’s Mama climbs off the bed and says, YOU'RE WELCOME, LOVE. GOODNIGHT.
Carl’s Mama kisses Carl’s forehead.
Carl’s Mama says, MWAH!
Carl’s Mama leaves, and Carl closes his eyes.
[Two-way radio beeping]
Through the two-way radio, Sheldon says, THIS IS SHELDON, CALLING FOR CARL. COME IN, CARL!
Carl grabs his two-way radio.
Through the radio, Sheldon asks, HOW YOU FEELING, BUDDY?
Carl quietly says, OPERATION SLEEPYTIME IS A...
Carl’s eyes slowly close.
[Carl sighing tiredly]
Through the radio, Sheldon whispers, YOU'RE WELCOME, BEST PAL! GOODNIGHT!
