Molly用晚飯有冰淇淋的方法并沒有使Carl的情緒好起來。Molly要求他用一個(gè)笑臉來交換一個(gè)生日驚喜。第二天，Carl的生日。Molly請來了小丑Popo來表演。這個(gè)驚喜令Carl很高興。最后，Carl主動(dòng)要求玩猜啞謎的游戲。

    Molly： Hi， Carl. How you doing？ I know it hurts. But it'll be better tomorrow. In the meantime， what would you like？

    Carl： Surprise. Molly： A surprise？ I promised you a surprise， didn't I？ And it wasn't just ice cream， was it？ Your birthday is tomorrow， isn't it？ [He nods.] Molly： Well， maybe， just maybe， there will be surprise. But first you have to smile. I just want to see one smile from you. No smile， no surprise. That's the deal. No smile， no surprise. If you want a surprise， then you've got to smile first. [Carl finally smiles.]

    Molly： How you all doing？ Well， I'm glad you're feeling better because we have a little surprise for you today. It's Carl's birthday， and we have Popo the Clown to entertain you. And here he is —— Popo the Clown.

    [Carl pulls his ear. Then he points to his nose.] Philip： Hmm？

    Molly： You want to play charades？
