Roly, isn't it time for...?
ROLY GASPS
Duggee!
ROLY LAUGHS
ALL: Duggee!
Duggee!
Woof!
ALL: Duggee!
Roly's first day badge.
Hello, squirrels. What are you doing?
SHOUTS: Reading!
Sh!
Hello, squirrels. What are you doing?
SHOUTS: Meditating!
Sh!
Hello, squirrels. What are you doing?
SHOUTS: Hiding!
GASPS
Found you!
Oh... Duggee!
Woof-woof?
Roly's being loud again.
SHOUTS: But I've always been loud!
Actually, you haven't, Roly.
SHOUTS: Really?!
No. On your first day at Squirrel Club, you were quite different.
SHOUTS: Was I?!
Woof.
DOORBELL RINGS
When you arrived...
Hello, Duggee. I'm Roly's dad and this is Roly.
..you were very quiet.
Eek.
He's very quiet.
ALL: Really?!
Woof.
Yes. Roly hardly spoke a word.
Look at all this, Roly. Isn't Squirrel Club brilliant?
Woof, woof.
Come on, Roly.
He only asked if you like playing games.
Isn't that right, Duggee?
Was he poorly?
More like a little shy.
Come on, Roly. Don't be shy.
Roly?
ROLY SQUEAKS
And a bit clingy.
What's clingy?
It means Roly didn't want to let go of his dad.
Oh, look at all the lovely books, Roly.
Eek!
Woof. Yes.
Duggee makes delicious blueberry juice.
Gah!
And so much room to run around, Roly.
Dad!
Hmm.
Duggee thought making a friend might help,
so he took him to meet Norrie.
Woof!
Woof-woof, woof.
Hi.
Eek!
But where were we?
You were younger, so hadn't started Squirrel Club yet.
Does that mean I'm the oldest?
Yes. And Roly is...
Older than me?
Ha-ha!
Did Roly and I play together?
Well, not at first.
Yay! Woohoo!
Eek!
Ah, I expect this place keeps you busy, Duggee.
Dad.
Then Duggee had an idea.
What was it?
ROLY GASPS
Was it doing things?
ALL: Yeah!
Duggee always gets us to do things.
Indeed.
And by keeping you busy, he could help you settle in.
Ah, that looks like fun.
THEY GIGGLE
I think it's working, Duggee.
Dad.
Oh...
THEY LAUGH
Ah, it looks like they're having fun.
Oh, woof.
Well, then, I'll be back at...
Dad.
THEY GIGGLE
Woof.
Good work, Duggee.
I'll come back at...
DADDY!!
Oh!
That's when Duggee noticed
Roly had a particularly nice voice.
Woof-woof.
And wanted to hear more.
Er, OK.
Erm, what else can you say?
Door.
Very good, Roly.
Roly?
Lolly.
Woof.
ROLY GIGGLES
Ball!
Hat!
Fish!
Where?
Tree!
Sand!
Rock!
Ha! That's the Roly I know.
MUD SPLATS
Mud!
He must really feel at home.
Bird!
WINGS FLAP
Duggee taught Roly how to shout?
Oh, no. But he did help him relax and be himself,
and Roly carried on being himself for the rest of the day.
Sky!
Worm!
Bird! Bird! Bird!
BIRDS TWEET
Woof.
Flower!
Sheep!
Bird! Bird! Bird!
MOUSE LAUGHS
Cat! Meow.
Cloud!
Bird! Bird! Bird!
BIRDS SQUAWK
Soon, he was having so much fun, he hardly noticed his dad at all.
I'll be off then, Roly.
Ant!
Stick!
Bird! Bird! Bird!
BIRDS TWEET
Er, Bye, Roly.
Duggee!
Norrie!
Bird! Bird! Bird!
Bye, Roly!
SHOUTS: Bye, Roly!
BYE!
Bird! Bird! Bird!
Oh, what time should I pick him up, Duggee? Oh, woof-woof.
That soon?!
Oh, I may as well stay now.
Bird!
Bird!!
Bird! Bird! Bird!
Bird!
Bird!!
Bird! Bird! ALL: Bird!
THEY LAUGH
And that's how Roly earned... Woof!
..his first day...
Badge!
THEY LAUGH
CAR HORN TOOTS
Ah, and here are your parents.
Just time for one more thing.
ALL: Duggee hug!
Oh... Duggee hug.
THEY LAUGH
ALL: We learnt about Roly's first day.
Oh, you mean the day Roly became loud.
Yeah!
ALL: Ah...
Bye-bye, everybody.
Well, that was fun, wasn't it, Duggee?
Bird! Bird! Bird!
