- (Blythe is grooming Pepper's tail at the front desk)
- [Door opens]
Mrs. Twombly: Good morning, all!
Blythe: Good morning, Mrs. Twombly.
Mrs. Twombly: Is this the loveliest day you've ever seen? I wish I could bring it all inside! I just wish we didn't need doors and walls. Oh, so artificial! When it's like this, I want to invite the whole outdoors inside!
Blythe: Uh, Mrs. Twombly...?
Mrs. Twombly: Because what are we people but just more animals? Why should we be inside ever?
[Birds chirping]
[Bees buzzing]
Blythe: Actually, Mrs. Twombly, I think we should keep the door closed.
Mrs. Twombly: That's the problem with young people nowadays. Not that there's anything wrong with you, dear, but your whole generation fails to appreciate old-fashioned mother nature.
Blythe: Gotcha! Your home is outside, little guy. Oh, Mrs. Twombly? There's a bird on your head.
Mrs. Twombly: Aah! Get 'em off, get 'em off!
- Mrs. Twombly: When driving an automobile, always press on the wheels. Oh, that's not correct. No wonder there are so many bad drivers out there. What is this pamphlet? Driver's pest glide. No, no, beavers' test guy-day. Oh, where are my glasses? Ho ho, I don't need the silly things anyway; the Twomblys are known for their eagle-eyed vision! Now, how may I help you, sir?
Blythe: Were you talking to me?
Mrs. Twombly: Ohh, you sound so much younger than you look, sir!
Blythe: Why are you talking to the cardboard man, Mrs. Twombly?
Mrs. Twombly: Excuse me, sir. Blythe, I'm trying to help this man, but he won't tell me what he wants.
Blythe: Have you lost your glasses again?
Mrs. Twombly: Yep.
Blythe: Have you checked your purse? The drawer? The cash register?
Mrs. Twombly: Yes, yes, and yes. And the washing machine, the freezer, and the peanut butter jar.
Blythe: I'm behind you, Mrs. Twombly.
Mrs. Twombly: I'm fine if I just squint my eyes a little and tilt my head just so, keep the image in the middle range of my vision and hold it - Ah, now I see you!
Blythe: Maybe they accidentally fell into the dumpster when you emptied the trash earlier
Mrs. Twombly: Good idea, Blythe; you check the nooks, I'll check the crannies. What is a cranny anyway?
- Blythe: What the - ? Blech!
Shivers: Why would you throw that away?
Blythe: Because it was gross.
Shivers: Did - did you just speak to me?
Blythe: Do you see anyone else here?
Shivers: I do not. Nice to meet you, talking girl.
Blythe: My name's Blythe. Are you missing something?
Shivers: Maybe. I'm a bit of a treasure hunter, so until I find what I'm looking for, I don't know what I'm looking for. Ooh, furball! Hm, American tomcat with a hint of [Sniff] Himalayan. Want it?
Blythe: I'm good, thanks.
Shivers: But it's a furball! Much more useful than people realize. It makes a good hat, it makes great winter insulation.
Blythe: Cat fur's not really my best look.
Shivers: Eh, I could use a new coat anyway. It's getting colder. [Shivers]
Blythe: Hey, I should call you Shivers, unless you already have a name.
Shivers: Well, I get called "Scat!" and "Get outta here!" a lot, but frankly, I like Shivers more.
Blythe: Alright, Shivers it is. I've got to get back inside; I'll see you later, Shivers.
[Door opens, closes]
[Conk!]
Blythe: Well, I didn't find your glasses in the dumpster, Mrs. Twombly, so we'll have to retrace your steps. Where were you the last time you had them?
Mrs. Twombly: Let's see... I remember I had my glasses on when I visited next door.
Blythe: Oh, maybe you left your glasses at Sweet Delights. I'll go look.
[Bell dings]
[Smack!]
Shivers: [Groan]
Youngmee: Hi, Blythe.
Blythe: Hi, Youngmee. Hey, when Mrs. T was over here earlier, did she happen to leave behind her glasses?
Youngmee: [Gasp] [Scream] Aunt Christie, bring the lost and found box! Mrs. Twombly can't find her glasses!
Aunt Christie: Really?

The lost and found box
The lost and found box

[Youngmee]
A purse

A brick
[Youngmee]
A lock of hair
[Aunt Christie]
Accordion and eight-track tapes
[Youngmee]
Somebody didn't eat these grapes?
- [Aunt Christie]
But that's not it, not even close
[Youngmee]
This chewing gum is kinda gross.
[Aunt Christie]
Hey, someone lost a funky tie
[Youngmee]
Come on there must be more inside
- [Youngmee & Aunt Christie]
The lost and found box
The lost and found box
Get over here, no need to fear

A kookoo clock, a bit behind
[Aunt Christie]
A picture that Abe Lincoln signed
[Youngmee]
This dino bites, don't get too close!
[Aunt Christie]
This shrunken head is kinda gross!
[Youngmee]
What just ate my favorite ring?!
[Aunt Christie]
A mounted fish that likes to sing!

Check and you'll

See just how cool

Now I know you love to show

A wad of cash
[Aunt Christie]
A monster's tail!
[Blythe]
The Holy Grail?!
[Gasp]
- [Blythe, Youngmee, & Aunt Christie]
We love our lost and found box!
- Blythe: But no glasses.
- [Door opens]
Blythe: Sorry, Mrs. Twombly; no luck. But, if you enjoy musical theater, go next door and ask to see their lost and found box.
Shivers: Hello, sir, wonderful to meet you. The name is Shivers.
Sunil: Sir?
Shivers: Good day, miss. Don't get up. Howdy and a hey-ho to you both, pleasant day, isn't it? Hello tiny dancer and beautiful lady.
Russell: Hi, I'm Russell, welcome to LPS day camp. You are?
Shivers: Shivers. That girl out there named me.
Russell: You mean Blythe? She named you?
Shivers: Oh yeah, she named because... I'm her pet squirrel!
Pets: [Chattering]
Russell: It's a little odd that Blythe never mentioned you to us before.
Pepper: Ever!
Shivers: Well, she probably just hadn't had the chance. She's so busy. Hoo, that bag looks comfy! And what is this? Kibble? Mmm! Oh-hohoho, scrummy-yummy!
Zoe: Well, Shivers, if you're hungry, you may certainly -
Shivers: Help myself? Thank you! Ohh! [Gulp] [Belch]
Russell: We've got more than the comforts of home here - lots of food, an activity center, an exercise facility.
Shivers: Ahhh! This is my kinda place! Thanks for making me feel at home!
- [Slurping]
Russell: [Snoring] [Conk]
Blythe: Hi, everybody; what's new?
Vinnie: Him.
Blythe: Shivers? What is he doing in here?
Pepper: Well, isn't he your pet? That's what he said.
Blythe: My pet? No, I just met him out back. Are you still treasure hunting?
Shivers: Yep!
Blythe: Well, maybe you could help me find Mrs. Twombly's glasses. Aww, he seems sweet! Maybe it'll be fun to have him around for the day.
[Door closes]
Pepper: Hmm. So, Mrs. Twombly's glasses are missing?
Russell: Aren't her glasses missing, like, every other day?
Pepper: But they're missing this day, when that squirrel just happens to scamper in here!
Russell: Hmm...
Pepper: That squirrel smells like trouble, and I know what trouble smells like! It doesn't smell good! Smells like rotten eggs! Like when you leave of eggs in your pocket for a couple of months, then they get all kinda grey skin, starts to steam a little, then-
Russell: I get it, he smells!
Pepper: Yeah...!
Minka: Has anyone seen my paintbrush? You know, the one I paint with?
Penny Ling: That's funny. I lost my other slipper.
Vinnie: Ugh. Anyone seen my headphones, the ones that go on my ears?
Zoe: And I can't find my favorite squeaky lobster!
Penny Ling: Oh, yeah, Zoe. You like to chew things, like slippers!
Zoe: Oh, Penny Ling, I don't have your slipper! But come to think of it, you were sitting next to my lobster this morning!
Penny Ling: [Gasp] Why would I take your lobster?
Vinnie: Hey, Minka, now that I think about it, you borrowed my headphones last week!
Minka: Well, I remember that you wanted painting lessons the other day and you need a paintbrush for painting lessons... to paint! Aha!
Zoe: Oh-ho!
Vinnie: Nuh-uh!
Penny Ling: Mm-hm!
Sunil: Hey-o!
Zoe: Aren't we all overlooking something? Sunil is a magician! He's obviously using magic to make our stuff disappear!
Sunil: Me? No way, and I can prove it! Except I can't find my magic wand!
Pets: [Squabbling]
Russell: Heeeey! Should we really all be blaming each other like this?
Sunil: Well, everyone thinks I made their missing stuff disappear, but I couldn't have because I'm missing the thing that I could do that with!
Pepper: I'm telling you, Russell, it's that Shivers! He's taking our stuff, I just know it!
Russell: You might be right, Pepper.
Pepper: Now unfortunately, the police won't arrest a squirrel. So we're going to have to take matters into our own tiny paws!
Pets: Yeah!
- Mrs. Twombly: Well, Blythe, I'm off to get some supplies. I'll just grab my purse.
Blythe: Are you sure you're okay to go out without your glasses, Mrs. Twombly?
Mrs. Twombly: Oh, no worries; I'm far-sighted, Blythe. As long as where I'm going is far away, I'll be fine. [Laugh] Just making sure it's earthquake-proof. [Crash] Whose idea was it to put a fire hydrant and a mailbox in middle of the crosswalk?!
Blythe: [To Shivers] If you're going to be here, you need to be in day camp.
Russell: Blythe, we need to talk to you.
Pepper: That squirrel's gotta go!
Blythe: He does? Why?
Pepper: Because he's a thief! He stole Russell's bed, he drank Zoe's coconut water, and everybody's missing something or other, including Mrs. Twombly!
Blythe: A thief? Naw, I'm sure he can explain everything himself. Shivers?
Vinnie: [Gasp] Somebody stole shivers!
Pepper: Nobody stole Shivers, Vinnie!
Vinnie: Ah, thank goodness he's safe!
Zoe: But where is he?
Pepper: Do you forget sometimes that you're a dog?
Zoe: I do, actually. [Sniffing]
Pepper: I'll handle this. Hello, Shivers.
Shivers: Oh, hey.
Pepper: I couldn't help but notice you've got a little hiding place up there.
Shivers: Hiding place? That's silly! Repairing – yeah, that's what I was doing, you know, the ceiling.
Pepper: Sure, sure. Nice of you to help.
Shivers: Yep! Just call me Handy Shivers, so, uh, gotta go!
Pepper: Lookit, Shivers, we've been missing a few things around here lately!
Shivers: Well, I haven't taken anything!
(Sunil's wand falls from the ceiling.)
Sunil: Oh hey, my magic wand! [Kissing]
Shivers: And it just fell from the sky like that! You're good!
(Zoe's squeaky lobster falls from the ceiling too.)
Zoe: My squeaky lobster!
Shivers: [Awkward laugh] What a coinky-dink!
(Then Penny Ling's other slipper.)
Blythe: Shivers!
Shivers: I've been a bad squirrel. But it's not really stealing, it's gathering!
Pepper: Gathering somebody else's things!
Blythe: Shivers, you've definitely got a problem that you need to deal with.
Shivers: What? I don't have a problem!
Blythe: Did you take Mrs. Twombly's glasses?
Shivers: Actually - actually, I don't keep track of it all, I - Oh, no! I do have a problem! [Sobbing]
- Blythe: Wow, that's a lot of gathering! But I don't see Mrs. Twombly's glasses.
(The pets glare at him. Blythe takes him to Downtown City Park.)
Shivers: I don't know why I take stuff, I just always have.
Blythe: Well, you need to gather squirrel-type stuff, not things that belong to others. That's why I wanted to bring you to the park. You're going to be so happy here. Just picture it.

My Small Squirrel,
the very smallest

they're happiest
up in a tree
- Multicolor Stripe: [Giggle] Hi, Lavender! Hi, Cotton Candy!
Lavender: Well, triple hi to you, Multicolor Stripe! Let's go make new squirrel friends!
- [Voice-over]
My Small Squirrel,
the very sm-
- Shivers: Seriously?
Blythe: Well, I'm not saying it'll be exactly like that, but-
Shivers: [Sigh] I guess I'll give it a try.
Pepper: I knew that squirrel was a felon!
Penny Ling: I'm sorry I thought you chewed my slipper, Zoe.
Zoe: Apology accepted. And I'm sorry I thought Sunil was that great a magician. Wait, that didn't sound right. I mean, I don't know if he's great, but I can't say good with total confidence.
Sunil: [Sigh] Here.
Shivers: Thanks!
Sunil: Shivers?!
Pets: Aaaah! [Crash]
Pepper: Shivers, you're supposed to be at the park!
Shivers: You know, I thought about it a lot, and I realized that this is a better place for me.
Pets: Blyyyyythe!
- Blythe: See those squirrels over there, Shivers?
Shivers: Yep.
Blythe: See how they're being very... squirrel-ish?
Shivers: Uh-huh.
Blythe: Just doing normal things that normal squirrels do?
Shivers: Sure, I know how to do that stuff, regular squirrel stuff.
Blythe: Right, no going inside stores, no stealing things, just - okay, maybe gathering a few nuts for the winter.
Shivers: Brrr, winter!
Blythe: So you're going to stay here this time, right?
Shivers: Yes, I'm a regular park squirrel. I'm staying. Squirrel's promise.
- [Bell dings]
Blythe: What the what?!
Shivers: The thing is, squirrels are not that good at keeping promises!
- [Music]
Blythe: Step on it!
[Tires screecing]
- Pepper: Is he gone for good this time?
Blythe: Yes, I'm sure we won't be seeing him again.
Shivers: [Stretching] Think I might have whiplash!
Pepper: [Growling] Shivers! YOU NEED TO STAY IN THE PARK!
Shivers: [Groaning]
Blythe: Maybe we can help you find a nice tree or something and make it your home.
Shivers: Oh, I have a home.
Blythe & Pepper: You have a home?!
Shivers: Yeah, at the park. Did I forget to tell you?
Blythe & Pepper: [Groaning]
Shivers: Well, here it is. Home sweet home.
Pepper: Well, aren't you going to invite us in?
Shivers: Errrrr, it's a little messy right now.
Pepper: [Gasp] Oh, my! I–I don't know if I should be impressed or sick!
Shivers: I told her not to go in there.
Blythe: It can't be that bad.
Tour Guide: And now we come to the infamous Devil's Mouth Treehole. It's also referred to as Wet Dog, Cavity of Gross, and That Which Must Not Be Spoken Of.
Squirrels: Ooh!
[Cameras clicking]
Tour Guide: And we're moving on.
Shivers: Told ya.
Pepper: We're gonna need a very large trash can. [Groan]
- Youngmee: Let's see - we've got three vanilla pickle, three peanut butter sour cherry, three coconut zuccini confetti, and three... uh, plain chocolate?
Woman: My husband's very picky.
Mrs. Twombly: Ooh, quite a day I've had, Blythe. I actually made it to the vegetable stand before they closed, so at least I have something for dinner. [Sniffing] Mm, I just love the smell of fresh carrots, don't you? Why, hello, Russell! How about a treat? (Stuffs a dog biscuit in the woman's mouth) Goodness, I almost forgot - I've got a driving test today! Oh, now where are my gloves? Oh, there are my gloves! (Stuffs her hands in cakes)
[Bell dings]
[Spit]
Youngmee: [Awkward laugh] Anything else?
- Shivers: Uh, what do we need that for? We just need to organize everything.
Blythe: Not organize, throw out. You don't need all this stuff.
Shivers: But I do! Because when winter comes - well, you just never know!
Blythe: You won't miss a broken tennis racket.
Shivers: Unless I needed to use the strings as a net and the handle as a sort of post to hold up my roof, if I ever get a roof.
Blythe: Well, you don't need these empty cans.
Shivers: What if I need to make some metal drums really quick?
Blythe: Uh, do you play the drums?
Shivers: Oh, and drum lessons, I need those. [Clattering] Ohh! Ahh... This is not good!
Pepper: You know, Shivers, at first I thought you were the most untrustworthy, lying thief I ever met.
Shivers: And now?
Pepper: Now I realize you're not a thief, you're just a squirrel; you can't help yourself. You're just squirreling stuff away for winter.
Shivers: So you think maybe I'm normal?
Pepper: I'd say you're extra normal.
Blythe: [Grunting] [Straining] Oh great, now I'm stuck! Hello? Anybody?
Pepper: Hey, I think Blythe is stuck! What are we gonna do?
Shivers: I got an idea! Wow, you've done a nice job clearing out my place, thank you!
Blythe: If you really want to thank me, you'll get me unstuck. [Straining]
Shivers: [Straining]
[Thud]
[Hammering]
Shivers: [Crying] Wow! I don't even recognize the place! It really feels like a home!
Pepper: [Sniffs] Okay, pal, don't start with the waterworks or you'll get me going too! Ha ha!
Shivers: [Tearfully] Th-this is so great! I have a place to live again that doesn't smell like old bologna! Thank you both!
- [Door opens]
Blythe: Oh, hi, Mrs. Twombly. I just took Pepper for a walk to the park.
Mrs. Twombly: Well, you should've called and I could've picked you up [sing-song] using my new drivers license!
Blythe: Wow, you passed? Congratulations! And you found your glasses! Where were they?
Mrs. Twombly: In my purse. I looked before I got in the car, and there they were, sitting in a bed of acorns. Isn't that strange?
Blythe: Yeah. Kinda gives me... shivers.
