SHELDON: What's a theremin?
CARL: The theremin is the oldest electronic instrument. The only instrument you can play without touching! You wave your hands over antennas like this, and it makes music!

CARL’S MAMA: Hey, what's going on, Carl?
[Mellow music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Carl walks to his mama.
CARL: I knew I needed to work on my song because there was this one part that I didn't know yet, but then I saw a U.F.O. and chased it all over the neighbourhood.
CARL’S MAMA: A U.F.O.? Wow!
CARL: But it was just a flying disc, and now my song sounds awful. I'm sorry, Mama. It was just too hard not to look for a U.F.O.
CARL’S MAMA: It's okay. I have moments like that, too, Carl!
CARL: You do?
CARL’S MAMA: Mmm, maybe not chasing U.F.O.s. But sometimes, something I really want to do now gets in the way of something more important I need to do later.
CARL: So, what do you do?
CARL’S MAMA: Well, I think about how I'll feel later if I'm not able to do the more important thing.
CARL: I think I'd feel better now if I had practiced before.
CARL’S MAMA: Mmm. Well then, what should we do?
CARL: I'm going to work on my song until it's just the way I want it to be. Then I'll play it for you.
CARL’S MAMA: Now that sounds like a good plan.
[Footsteps patter, theremin music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Carl’s mama hugs him and then takes out her book. Carl plays the theremin with his tongue poking out of the corner of his mouth. His mama clenches her teeth and smiles.
CARL’S MAMA: It's...getting there, Carl! Keep practicing.
CARL: Just one second.
[Footsteps patter]

[Rustle, footsteps rustle]

CARL’S MAMA: Hey, what's going on, Carl?
[Mellow music plays]
DESCRIPTION: Carl walks to his mama.
CARL: I knew I needed to work on my song because there was this one part that I didn't know yet, but then I saw a U.F.O. and chased it all over the neighbourhood.
CARL’S MAMA: A U.F.O.? Wow!
CARL: But it was just a flying disc, and now my song sounds awful. I'm sorry, Mama. It was just too hard not to look for a U.F.O.
CARL’S MAMA: It's okay. I have moments like that, too, Carl!
CARL: You do?
CARL’S MAMA: Mmm, maybe not chasing U.F.O.s. But sometimes, something I really want to do now gets in the way of something more important I need to do later.
CARL: So, what do you do?
CARL’S MAMA: Well, I think about how I'll feel later if I'm not able to do the more important thing.
CARL: I think I'd feel better now if I had practiced before.
CARL’S MAMA: Mmm. Well then, what should we do?
CARL: I'm going to work on my song until it's just the way I want it to be. Then I'll play it for you.
CARL’S MAMA: Now that sounds like a good plan.
[Footsteps patter, theremin music plays]
