[DJ Carl is doing a gig with a really impressive soundboard] Carl: "Que pasa Great Lakes City?! DJ Carl in the hizzouse!" [Blasts airhorns] "When I say DJ you say Carl! DJ!" [Listens, but doesn't get any response. He is actually DJing with a cardboard box in the Chavez Academy cafeteria, which is empty, save for a blowing tumbleweed] Alexis:[Offscreen] "Carl!" [Alexis is standing in the corner applauding] "Whoo! Yay! Woohoo!" [Carl isn't too enthusiastic] Carl: "What a crummy turnout." [Goes to Alexis] "I don't understand, Alexis, didn't anyone see my flyers?" [There is a flyer up in the gym, which a kid takes, looks at, and blows his nose into. He throws it in the trash which is where all the other flyers are] Alexis:[Has the last flyer] "I got the flyer, Carl. it's awesome the graphics, the colour the font choice. I give it three toots." [Plays three toots on his tuba, taking him off his feet. Alexis is in a very good mood today] Carl: "What are you so happy about?" Alexis: "Oh, I found out that the junior band will be performing at the halftime show of the Gatos game. I've been tooting for joy all day." Carl: "Wait, the junior band gets to play at the Gatos game in front of fifty-thousand screaming fans?" Alexis: "You're darn tootin'." [Totos his tuba again] Carl:[Thinks] "Why don't I do you guys a favour and be the headliner? That kind of exposure would be great for me." Alexis: "Um, I'm not sure about that." Carl: "Okay, okay, we'll share the billing and both be the headliners. That's fair." Alexis: "Sorry, Carl, the only way for you to be on the field that day is to actually be in the junior band." Carl: "Oh, I see." [Laughs with a diabolical plan]
[Later, at the apartment, Carl is in his room trying to play the bassoon. Sergio enters covering his ears] Sergio:[Squawks] "Make it stop!" Carl: "No can do, I need to learn the bassoon to get into the junior band. Actually, you know what? I think I'm holding it upside down." Sergio: "You? School spirit?" [Squawks, not buying it] "What do you got cooking?" Carl: "The perfect plan." [Takes out a diagram] "I'll play with the band at the halftime show, and as soon as they're done I'll launch into a DJ set." [Diagram Carl swaps the band outfit for his DJ outfit and blows airhorns again] Crowd: "DJ Carl! DJ Carl!" Carl: "DJ Carl! DJ Carl!" Sergio:[Takes the diagram] "It's devious, mischievous." [Sheds happy tears] "I'm so proud of you. And it's a great chance for me to sell your merch." [Tosses down a suitcase which pops open revealing DJ Carl plushes, t-shirts and toilet paper] "I keep ten percent bassoon away." [Carl bassoons Sergio away, closing Sergio in the suitcase]
[Later, Carl knocks on apartment 2B and whistles waiting for an answer. Alexis and Buttercup answer] Carl: "Alexis, amigo, I've got great news you've convinced me to join the junior band." Alexis:[Ecstaic] "I have? Fantastico!" [Hugs Carl] "I'm so happy for you what instrument are you going to play?" Carl: "Bassoon in the hizzouse. Dale!" [Plays the bassoon about as well as when he started. Alexis covers his ears and Buttercup ties hers over her chin, it blocks out the sound] "Not too shabby huh? So, uh, when do we start rehearsing for the show?" Alexis: "Lo siento, Carl, but I'm not sure this is the right instrument for you." Carl: "Alright, forget the bassoon." [Tosses it away, Buttercup eats it in midair. The boys are speechless] "I just want to be in the band is there anything else I can play?" Alexis: "Sure, why don't you try the tuba?" [Offers his tuba to Carl. The tuba is much heavier than Carl thought it was, and he ends up stumbling backwards and falling] Carl:[Takes the tuba off his head] "Maybe not the tuba." Alexis: "Yeah, I think you need more core strength." [Lifts his shirt revealing an extremely ripped core. Carl can't believe his eyes] Carl:[Gasps] "Holy mother of washboard abs!" Alexis: "Don't worry, Carl, I can help you find the right instrument for you." [Buttercup farts the bassoon in her belly] "A toot and d-minor, nice."
[At school, Tom Bone demonstrates the trombone for Carl. Carl takes it and seems to enjoy it. He spins around but accidentally throws the slide, which gets stuck on a kid's face. The kid stumbles in front of them and falls over. Next, Carl and Alexis are with a kid holding a saxophone. The kid demonstrates and offers it to Carl. Right when Carl is about to blow, a pigeon poops right into the bell. Carl doesn't notice and blows, sending the poop flying. Barry ducks but the kid who Carl hit with the trombone gets hit with the poop. Next, Alexis takes Carl to Clara. She hits her drum like a gong and tosses it at Carl. Carl tries to carry it but loses it. The kid Carl keeps hurting stumbles in front of them with the drum on his head. Clara is not happy with Carl. Later, the junior band is showing Carl the last instrument left] Alexis: "Okay, Carl, there's one more instrument for you to try." [Gives Carl a triangle, which Carl gets right] Carl: "This is easy, look at me go." [Dances around with the triangle] "Fifty-thousand fans, here I come."
[It's time for the Gatos game, the junior band is getting ready in the dressing room] Carl: "[Offscreen] "Carl in the casa!" [Carl has arrived, wearing a significantly larger hat than the others. He and Alexis approach each other] Alexis: "Que guapo, Carl." [Hugs Carl] "You look amazing." Carl: "Sorry I'm late, my mom made me take a billion photos and kept crying and being like…" [In Frida's accent with tears in his eyes] "We are so proud of you." [Cries. Then immediately stops] "Or whatever." Alexis: "Don't worry, you made it just in time we're on in five." Carl: "It's almost half time? Uh, I'll be right back I gotta fix my hair." Alexis: "But you're wearing a hat." Carl: "Exactly, hat hair am I right?" [Carl exits the stadium and takes off his hat, revealing a suffocating Sergio inside] Sergio: "About time." [Squawks] "Been breathing hair gel fumes in there." Carl: "Focus, Sergio follow this map to the control booth. Once you're there ditch the guy inside then wait for me to give you the cue, I'll wave three times. Okay?" Sergio: "Got it, three waves." [Squawks] "And remember, I get twenty percent of merch sales." Carl: "We said ten." Sergio: "Oh, guess you're on your own." [Tosses back the map and attempts to leave] Carl:[Grabs him] "Ugh, fine twenty. Just get going." [Puts the map in Sergio's beak and throws him into the stadium]
[Carl enters the dressing room again] Alexis:[To the band] "Okay, junior band, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Go out there and play your hearts out." [The band cheers. Alexis notices Carl has returned] "And let's hear it for Carl, our new triangle player." Carl:[Sweating] "Just happy to be here, no ulterior motives." [Laughs. Suddenly the referee's whistle goes off] Alexis: "That's our cue. Junior band on three. Uno… Dos… Tres." Everyone:[Raises their instrument] "Junior band!"
[The bands comes out on the field] Announcer: "For our halftime show please enjoy a performance by the Chavez Academy junior band." [Behind him, the vent is kicked open. Sergio pops out] "And I'll enjoy this Italian beef hoagie." [Sergio takes out an ant farm and dumps it out. The announcer is about to eat when the ants attack him] "Oh no, ants. Why did I snack at work?" [Sergio opens the door for the ants to drag the announcer out] Sergio:[Squawks] "I'll take it from here." [Sergio goes to the controls, eats the hoagie, and looks out onto the field] Alexis: "Take your positions, everybody." [Carl is ready, when a bee starts bothering him] Carl: "Shoo! Get out of here you dumb bee." [Blows the bee away. This makes the bee dizzy, and then angry. The bee bothers Carl even more] "Oh, a wise guy, huh? I'll show you." [Starts swinging his triangle striker at the bee, not realizing that from where Sergio is, it looks like he's waving three times] Sergio: "Ooh, the signal. It's go time." [Takes out a CD] "Let's crank it up." [Slides in the disc and cranks up the volume. The band is just about to start the performance of their lifetimes when DJ Carl appears on the jumbo screen] DJ Carl: "Hey! It's DJ Carl! Dale!" [The band has no idea what's going on] Alexis: "DJ Carl?" Carl: "Oh no, Sergio started too soon." DJ Carl: "Que pasos, gatos fans! Hire DJ girl for your party today! Here's my new hit single… The Chonie Cha-Cha!" [Airhorns go off as DJ Carl dances on the screen, so loud that the whole arena shakes] Carl:[Waves to Sergio] "Sergio! Stop!" Sergio:[Misinterprating] "That's the fog machine queue." [Sergio hits the button for the fog machine, which rolls up and blasts Carl away, and disorients the rest of the band] Barry: "Save yourselves!" Clara: "Why is this happening?" Tom Bone: "I can't feel my ears." Alexis: "Stay calm, everyone, get back in formation, remember you're training." [The bass drum rolls over Alexis and the band ends up in a pile as the fog clears. Carl runs up to them and the referee blows his whistle] Referee: "All right, all right, enough of this nonsense. Get off the field kids." [The band leaves disappointed, Alexis gets up and glares at Carl] Alexis:[On the verge of angry tears] "Carl, how could you?" [Alexis leaves, holding back tears and Carl feels horrible]
[Back in the half time dressing room, the band is still disappointed when Carl arrives] Clara:[Mad] "Look who it is, the boy who ruined our performance!" [Angrily snaps her mallet over her knee] Carl: "I am so sorry guys. I just wanted to expand my audience I never meant to ruin your show. I feel terrible." Alexis:[Sniffling] "Forget it DJ Carl, it's over." [He and his bandmates walk away] Carl: "No it's not." [Grabs a stool and gets on it] "You're gonna go back out there and play." Tom Bone: "But the game's about to start." Carl: "I'll figure it out just get back on the field, trust me. Come on, junior band, on three." [Takes out his triangle] "Uno… Dos… Tres… Junior band!" [Rings his triangle and runs to the door with a battle cry. The band looks at each other and follows. Outside the player's locker rooms, Carl appears] "This oughta stop 'em." [Takes out his triangle] "Don't fail me now, triangle." [Throws it between the door handles. The door is moved from the inside] Soccer Player: "Hey, the door's stuck. Someone let us out of here! We've got a game to play." [Carl blocks the door. Out in the field, the crowd is getting impatient] Referee: "Where is everyone?" [Sees the band approach] "Hey, kids, buy us some time while I find the players, no fog machine." [Goes to look] Alexis: "All right, let's do it, junior band." [The band starts playing and the crowd loves them. Meanwhile, the soccer players manage to kick the door open. They see what happened] Soccer Player: "That kid locked us in, get him!" [Carl jumps up, screams, ringing the triangle like an alarm bell, and runs for it. Carl runs onto the field being chased by the angry soccer players] Carl: "Help! Help!" [Carl runs circles around the band, still screaming and being chased. Just then, Sergio catches up with him] Sergio:[Squawks] "Oh, hey, Carl." [Sergio is also being chased, by the announcer] Announcer: "You owe me a hoagie you blasted bird!" Sergio:[Squawks, taking out the suitcase] "Chew on this merch." [Throws the DJ Carl merch at the announcer and players, it takes them all down. The referee blows his whistle at them and takes out a red card. The band finishes their song and Carl chimes his triangle, out of breath. The crowd cheers] Alexis: "Thanks, Carl, you ruined the day but then you saved it." Carl: "I told you I'd figure it out." [Collapses]
[The next day, DJ Carl is performing in the park] Carl: "When I say DJ you say Carl! DJ!" Junior Band: "Carl!" Carl: "Who needs fifty-thousand fans when I have the five best ones right here?" Passerby:[Sees Carl, excited] "Hey aren't you DJ Triangle from the Gatos game?" Carl: "Actually it's…" Passerby: "DJ triangle DJ triangle." [This gets the attention of everyone else in the park] Everyone: "DJ triangle DJ triangle." Carl:[Okay with this] "I can work with this." [Carl starts playing his triangle, with the rest of the band backing him up. Everyone cheers]
