0:00:37 > 0:00:39- # Oh, believe in yourself- Believe in yourself

0:00:39 > 0:00:41# For that's the place to start

0:00:41 > 0:00:46- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day

0:00:46 > 0:00:51# If we can learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:00:51 > 0:00:56# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hey, DW!

0:01:00 > 0:01:04- Hey!- Whoa!

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Carl is a great kid, but he's very particular.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13If things aren't a certain way he can get really upset.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Like with food...

0:01:15 > 0:01:20- I can't eat this.- Why not? I thought you liked chicken?

0:01:20 > 0:01:24The peas are touching the potatoes. Peas are green, potatoes are white.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29That's better.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Or putting toys away...

0:01:32 > 0:01:37- No, no, that box is only for square pieces.- Oops, sorry, I forgot.

0:01:37 > 0:01:42And he likes to have a very structured routine.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44I knew I shouldn't have touched it but I did

0:01:44 > 0:01:47and the whole toothpick Ferris wheel came crashing down.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50BEEPING

0:01:52 > 0:01:53Hey, where are you going?

0:01:53 > 0:01:58It's 3:52, Extreme Kite Flying with Tex Buttery is on in eight minutes.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02Carl has autism and I really don't mind following his rules.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08But I think bringing him here might have been a terrible idea.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Hey, George, come on in. - You just moved it!

0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Well, that's how I spin things. - Well, you're a terrible spinner.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Thanks for lending me the math assignment.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- I'll bring it right down.- It's not Donna Winiford, it's Dora Winifred.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35And I told you never to call me that.

0:02:35 > 0:02:40Well, I did call you that and I'm not taking it back either.

0:02:40 > 0:02:41Hey, what's all the ruckus?

0:02:41 > 0:02:46Sweet johnnycakes, it's a miniature giraffe with four bowties.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48That's just Wally, George's dummy.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51I prefer the term ventriloquist puppet.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55Wait, you're making him talk? But you hardly moved your mouth.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Thank goodness, nothing interesting comes out of his mouth.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04That's amazing. Hey, you should perform at our school's Bayfaf Day.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05Bayfaf Day?

0:03:05 > 0:03:10I'm not sure what it stands for but it's going to be a lot of fun.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11That's a great idea.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14You'd be much better than that sneezing clown we had last year.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Please, please, please.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Um... We'll do it.- Wally!- What?

0:03:20 > 0:03:23You never take me anywhere.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Here you go.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29George, that was really nice of you to agree to perform at DW's

0:03:29 > 0:03:31- school for Bayfaf.- Oh, well,

0:03:31 > 0:03:36- it's just a little show, I thought it would be fun.- It's not so little.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Bayfaf stands for bring all your friends and family.- It does?

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Yeah, my whole family is going and Molly will be there.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46And I think Ladonna even invited Mr Ratburn.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49OK, class, open your books to chapter ten.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52I can't wait to see what you do.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58I had no idea this was going to be such a big deal.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Whatever we do has to be really good.- How about Hamlet?

0:04:02 > 0:04:04You can't go wrong with Shakespeare.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07It has to be something little kids would like.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09I was thinking of Goldilocks And The Three Bears.

0:04:09 > 0:04:14Oh, goody, I've always wanted to be a blonde. Can we make it a musical?

0:04:14 > 0:04:15No, we can't make it a musical.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Where am I going to find someone who... Huh?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20ACCORDION PLAYS

0:04:20 > 0:04:25Be not afeard, the woods are full of noises, sounds and sweet airs.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33Hello, George, would you like to join our picnic?

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Hey, Carl, since when do you play the accordion?

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Since I got it for my sixth birthday two years ago from my uncle Cal.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42- I know 18 songs. - You're really good.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Yes, I know.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Oh, sorry.- It's OK, I'm no longer afraid of puppets.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53My therapist uses them to coach me on my social skills.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56How are you today, George?

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Um, good. Actually, that's not true.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02I'm doing this puppet show

0:05:02 > 0:05:04but it's a bigger audience than I thought and...

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Hey, you wouldn't want to play for it, would you?

0:05:08 > 0:05:11- I really want there to be music in it.- OK.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15- You don't have to if you don't want to.- I know.- That's great.

0:05:15 > 0:05:20This is going to make it so much better. Thanks, Carl.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28OK, you guys are three bears. Binky, you're Papa Bear.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Let's hear you roar.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Rawr!- Good. Rattles, show me Mama Bear.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Roar!

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Nice. And Buster.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41Raawr!

0:05:41 > 0:05:43A little more baby-like.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Rawr!- Great.

0:05:47 > 0:05:52OK, when the show opens, Wallylocks will be skipping through the woods.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Carl, could you play some happy, skippy music?

0:05:58 > 0:05:59La, la, la, la.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Here I am skipping through the woods. Hello, birch. Hello, elm.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07Hello, poison oak. Keep your distance.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10The music stopped.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Should I keep skipping or take five?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Um, Carl? Why'd you stop?

0:06:16 > 0:06:20I don't like this room, it's very messy.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- It is?- I think we should rehearse outside.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Outside? But we can't...

0:06:27 > 0:06:32- It is pretty stuffy in here. - And it's a gorgeous day out.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34I could use a little vitamin D.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40OK, let's take it from where we left off.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Wallylocks is skipping through the woods while... - BEEPING

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Carl? What are you doing?

0:06:45 > 0:06:50- Putting my accordion away.- I know, but why? We have to rehearse now.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53It's 12:15, so it's time for lunch.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Well, can we have lunch a little later?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59It's 12:15, it's time for lunch.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02OK, everyone, let's break for lunch.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07SNORING

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Someone's been sleeping in my bed and they're still there.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16Ah, it's a long-necked alien from the planet Gammamega!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Easy on the ad-libs. OK, Carl, that's your cue.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24ACCORDION PLAYS

0:07:27 > 0:07:31That's great. But I think we only need you to play it once.

0:07:31 > 0:07:37- It's out of tune.- That's OK, it still works.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38It doesn't sound good.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- I have to replace one of the reeds. They're at home.- What?

0:07:41 > 0:07:45- No, you can't leave now.- Do you have an accordion reed here?- No, but...

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Then I have to go home.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Oh.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Oh, what a beautiful day to be skipping through the woods.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02I'm so happy.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05ACCORDION PLAYS PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

0:08:07 > 0:08:09I said happy, not filled with doom.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20It's supposed to be a fairy tale, not a scary tale.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Even though this is free, I demand my money back.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28BOOING

0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's not my fault!

0:08:30 > 0:08:34I tried to tell Carl what to play but he wouldn't listen.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37George, as a member of the Puppeteers Guild, I hereby revoke

0:08:37 > 0:08:39your dummy operator's licence.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- I'm afraid I have to confiscate Wally as well.- No, no, never!

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Well, if you won't leave then I'll have to...

0:08:55 > 0:08:57..invite you to live with us.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59ALL: Yay!

0:08:59 > 0:09:01And Wallylocks moved in with the bears

0:09:01 > 0:09:04and lived rent-free for ever and ever.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06The end.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Carl, that's your cue to play the final tune.- I know.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Well, can we hear it? The show's tomorrow.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19I don't feel like playing it right now but I've been practising it,

0:09:19 > 0:09:22it'll be good. See you tomorrow.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Binky, I'm worried about Carl.- Why?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29He's a really good musician.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31I know, but what if it's too noisy in the room or

0:09:31 > 0:09:33he just doesn't feel like playing?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Could you bring your clarinet tomorrow?

0:09:35 > 0:09:39You want me to replace him? Who will play Papa Bear?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41I will, I can use both hands.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44To be honest, I don't find Mama Bear that challenging.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- She's very passive. - OK, it's your show.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50But you'd better tell him.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Well, what are you waiting for? The phone can't call itself.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00I know, I know, I'm just thinking about what I'll say.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Good evening, Gold residence.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Hello?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Hello?

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Oh.- That went well.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Carl.- Hello, George.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34I meant to call you last night but I was kind of busy.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36What did you want to talk to me about?

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Oh, I just wanted to say that you don't have to play today,

0:10:40 > 0:10:41I mean, if you don't want to.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45There will be a lot of kids in there and you might get nervous.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48I don't feel nervous, I've practised a lot.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52- Yeah, I know, it's just that...- It's just that what?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Nothing, forget it.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Oh, man.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Hey, boys and girls, it's me, Wallylocks.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Get a load of these golden curls.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29He moved in with the bears and lived rent-free for ever and ever.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46You were really great, Carl.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48I know. BEEPING

0:11:48 > 0:11:50It's time for a snack, see you later.
