BUT IS THIS DOTTO?!
Donke says, OOH. LET'S COMPARE IT
TO THE PHOTO AND SEE.
Cousin Hodie holds the photograph. Panda has a golden rock without dots.
[Photograph rustles, birds chirp]
Panda says, OH. LET'S SEE.
WELL, IT'S THE RIGHT SIZE
AND IT'S THE SAME COLOR...
Cousin Hodie says,
BUT LOOK, IT'S MISSING
THE POLKA DOTS.
THAT'S WHERE THE NAME DOTTO
COMES FROM, THE POLKA-DOTS.
Panda says, D'OH.
Cousin Hodie says, OHH.
OH, WHERE DID DOTTO
THE ROCK-O GO?
Donkey says, OH, I'M NOT SURE,
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA GIVE UP.
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP LOOKING!
Cousin Hodie says, OKAY...
Donkey says, HMM... HEY!

Donkey holds up a golden cube-shaped rock with dots.
[Gasps, gentle music plays]

LIKE THE SAME COLOR!
OOH, AND IT HAS RAINBOW
POLKA DOTS JUST LIKE DOTTO!
Cousin Hodie says, BUT LOOK, IT'S NOT
THE SAME SHAPE.
DOTTO IS ROUND, THIS ROCK ISN'T.
Bob Dog says, AHH!
COME BACK! AHH!
The ball bounces between Panda and Donkey. Bob Dog chases it.
[Boings, upbeat music plays]
Bob Dog says, THIS BALL IS BEING
UNCOOPERATIVE!
Panda says, OH!
Bob Dog says, WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE
BOUNCING TO DO!
Panda says, HI AND BYE, BOB DOG!
Donkey says, HMMM...
I WAS JUST REMEMBERING
THAT BOB DOG BOUNCED IN
WHEN COUSIN HODIE
FIRST GOT HERE.
Panda says, OH!
COULD BOB DOG HAVE
ACCIDENTALLY PICKED UP DOTTO?
[Donkey gasps]
Cousin Hodie says,
NO, HE COULDN'T HAVE
BECAUSE YOU MET DOTTO
AFTER WE BOUNCED
WITH BOB DOG.
Donkey says, SO, BOB DOG
DIDN'T EVEN SEE HIM.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Panda says, WELL, THEN HARRIETT CAME
WITH HER MUSIC RACER
FOR THE DANCE BREAK!
Donkey says,
OH, THAT WAS HEE-HAWESOME.
[Cousin Hodie giggles]
Cousin Hodie says, I DANCED
WITH DOTTO THE WHOLE TIME!
Donkey says, BUT YOU DANCED WITH ME TOO.
In a flashback, Cousin Hodie and Donkey dance.
Donkey and Cousin Hodie say, HOOF-HOOF HODIE!
[Birds chirp]
In the present, Cousin Hodie says, OH YEAH!
YOU'RE RIGHT! I MUST'VE PUT HIM DOWN.
Panda says, OH. BUT WHERE...?
Cousin Hodie says, UMM.
I WANTED TO DANCE WITH YOU,
DONKEY. UMM. AND I COULDN'T DO
THE HOOF-HOOF HODIE
BECAUSE I HAD SOMETHING
IN MY HANDS, SO I... I... I...

BOB DOG'S BOUNCY BALL DID?
Cousin Hodie says, MAYBE.
[Birds chirp, gentle music plays]
Panda says, OH, IT'S OK COUSIN HODIE.
WE'LL FIND IT.
I'M GOING TO LOOK THIS WAY!
Donkey says, WE SHOULD KEEP LOOKING
AROUND HERE TOO!
Cousin Hodie says, OKAY.
[Donkey gasps]
Donkey says, HEY! DOTTO!
[Cousin Hodie gasps]
Donkey says, THIS LOOKS ABOUT
THE RIGHT SIZE!
Donkey picks up a rock.
[Slide whistle]
Cousin Hodie says, BUT IT DOESN'T
LOOK LIKE DOTTO.
IT'S THE SAME SIZE AS DOTTO
BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT COLOR. SEE?
Cousin Hodie shows Donkey a photograph of Dotto.
[Birds chirp]
Donkey says, OH, IT'S NOT
THE RIGHT COLOR.
THIS ROCK IS PINK
AND DOTTO IS NOT.
Cousin Hodie says, OH.
I'M GETTING WORRIED WE'RE NOT
GOING TO FIND DOTTO!
[Sighs]
Cousin Hodie asks, WILL I EVER SEE MY FRIEND AGAIN?
[Rock music plays]
Cousin Hodie sings,
OH DOTTO, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
OH DOTTO, CAN YOU SEE ME?
IF YOU'RE OUT THERE
WILL I FIND YOU?
SINGIN' WHERE ARE YOU?
WHERE ARE YOU?
Two birds sing, AHHH.
Cousin Hodie sings,
WILL I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN?
YOU ARE MY BEST BEST
BEST BEST BEST BEST
BEST BEST FRIEND!
OH DOTTO THE ROCK-O,
DO YOU REMEMBER
ALL THE FUN WE HAD TOGETHER?
OH DOTTO WHERE ARE YOU?
WHERE ARE YOU?
WILL WE EVER PLAY
TOGETHER AGAIN?
In a flashback, Cousin Hodie drinks through a straw. Dotto rests on a table beside Cousin Hodie’s drink. They pose together wearing sunglasses.
[Slurping, rock music continues]
Cousin Hodie sings,
YOU ARE MY BEST BEST
BEST BEST BEST BEST
BEST BEST FRIEND!
In a flashback, Dotto and Cousin Hodie are in a movie theatre wearing 3-D glasses. Cousin Hodie offers Dotto a piece of popcorn.
Cousin Hodie asks, WANT MORE POPCORN?
In the present, Cousin Hodie sings,
WILL WE EVER SEE YOU AGAIN?
YOU ARE MY BEST BEST
BEST BEST BEST BEST
BEST BEST FRIEND!
In a flashback, Cousin Hodie runs to the other side of his drink and drinks through a second straw.
[Slurping]
Cousin Hodie sings,
YOU ARE MY BEST BEST
BEST BEST BEST BEST
BEST BEST FRIEND!
In a flashback, they sit in the theatre.
[Film reel clicks]
Cousin Hodie sings,
YOU ARE MY
BEST BEST BEST BEST
BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST
BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST...
FRRRRRIENNN-D!!
In a flashback, Cousin Hodie holds Dotto and spins in a field.
The birds say, AWW!
A red bird says, THERE, THERE.
Donkey says, COUSIN HODIE?
The red bird says,
I HOPE YOU FIND HIM, COUSIN.
A purple bird says, GOOD LUCK!
Donkey says, HEY, COUSIN HODIE.
Cousin Hodie says, HI, DONKEY.
Donkey says,
YOU KNOW, I KNOW HOW IT FEELS
WHEN YOU LOSE SOMETHING
THAT YOU LOVE.
[Birds chirp]
Cousin Hodie says,
JUST PLAIN OL' SAD, RIGHT?
Donkey says, YEAH, BUT...
I, DONKEY HODIE,
WILL HELP YOU FIND DOTTO!
[Donkey giggles]
Cousin Hodie says, AWW.
THANKS FOR HELPING ME, DONKEY.
Donkey says,
OH, WHAT ARE BIG COUSINS FOR?
HUH?
[Chuckles, birds chirp]
Panda says, EXCUSE ME.
I-I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT,
BUT IS THIS DOTTO?!
Donke says, OOH. LET'S COMPARE IT
TO THE PHOTO AND SEE.
Cousin Hodie holds the photograph. Panda has a golden rock without dots.
[Photograph rustles, birds chirp]
Panda says, OH. LET'S SEE.
WELL, IT'S THE RIGHT SIZE
AND IT'S THE SAME COLOR...
Cousin Hodie says,
BUT LOOK, IT'S MISSING
THE POLKA DOTS.
THAT'S WHERE THE NAME DOTTO
COMES FROM, THE POLKA-DOTS.
Panda says, D'OH.
Cousin Hodie says, OHH.
OH, WHERE DID DOTTO
THE ROCK-O GO?
Donkey says, OH, I'M NOT SURE,
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA GIVE UP.
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP LOOKING!
Cousin Hodie says, OKAY...
Donkey says, HMM... HEY!
IS THIS DOTTO?
Donkey holds up a golden cube-shaped rock with dots.
[Gasps, gentle music plays]
Donkey says, HEE-HAW, IT LOOKS
LIKE THE SAME COLOR!
OOH, AND IT HAS RAINBOW
POLKA DOTS JUST LIKE DOTTO!
Cousin Hodie says, BUT LOOK, IT'S NOT
THE SAME SHAPE.
DOTTO IS ROUND, THIS ROCK ISN'T.
Bob Dog says, AHH!
COME BACK! AHH!
The ball bounces between Panda and Donkey. Bob Dog chases it.
[Boings, upbeat music plays]
Bob Dog says, THIS BALL IS BEING
UNCOOPERATIVE!
Panda says, OH!
Bob Dog says, WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE
BOUNCING TO DO!
Panda says, HI AND BYE, BOB DOG!
Donkey says, HMMM...
I WAS JUST REMEMBERING
THAT BOB DOG BOUNCED IN
WHEN COUSIN HODIE
FIRST GOT HERE.
Panda says, OH!
COULD BOB DOG HAVE
ACCIDENTALLY PICKED UP DOTTO?
[Donkey gasps]
Cousin Hodie says,
NO, HE COULDN'T HAVE
BECAUSE YOU MET DOTTO
AFTER WE BOUNCED
WITH BOB DOG.
Donkey says, SO, BOB DOG
DIDN'T EVEN SEE HIM.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Panda says, WELL, THEN HARRIETT CAME
WITH HER MUSIC RACER
FOR THE DANCE BREAK!
Donkey says,
OH, THAT WAS HEE-HAWESOME.
[Cousin Hodie giggles]
Cousin Hodie says, I DANCED
WITH DOTTO THE WHOLE TIME!
Donkey says, BUT YOU DANCED WITH ME TOO.
In a flashback, Cousin Hodie and Donkey dance.
Donkey and Cousin Hodie say, HOOF-HOOF HODIE!
[Birds chirp]
In the present, Cousin Hodie says, OH YEAH!
YOU'RE RIGHT! I MUST'VE PUT HIM DOWN.
Panda says, OH. BUT WHERE...?
Cousin Hodie says, UMM.
I WANTED TO DANCE WITH YOU,
DONKEY. UMM. AND I COULDN'T DO
THE HOOF-HOOF HODIE
BECAUSE I HAD SOMETHING
IN MY HANDS, SO I... I... I...
[Gasps]
Cousin Hodie says,
I PUT HIM ON THE MUSIC RACER!
THAT MUST BE WHERE DOTTO IS!
[Donkey gasps]
Panda says, OH!
WELL, THEN LET'S
GO FIND HARRIETT!
Cousin Hodie says, OKAY!
Donkey says, COME ON!
Panda says, HEY-O!
[Upbeat music plays]

Donkey shouts, HARRIETT!
Harriett Elizabeth Cow says, YES?
Donkey asks,

Harriett Elizabeth Cow says,
OH, WELL IT IS RIGHT OVER THERE.

BECAUSE I FOUND THIS

Harriett Elizabeth Cow says, HERE IT IS.

[Cousin Hodie gasps]
Donkey says, LET'S BE SURE!
Donkey holds the photograph of Dotto beside the rock in Harriett Elizabeth Cow’s hand.
[Gentle music plays, birds chirp]

IT'S THE SAME COLOR,
SAME RAINBOW POLKA-DOTS,
