"Hello Dolly" is a Camp Lazlo episode from season 2. In this episode, Edward's secret doll, Veronica, is discovered by the campers so he will attempt to snatch her back.
Plot[]
After Lazlo loses at Capture the Flag to Edward and the dung beetles, the latter expresses indignation that Lazio took it in stride. "You're supposed to act like a jerk! It's called being macho!" rants Edward as he starts back towards his cabin. But once he's inside, tiptoeing on his hands, he digs out his most prized possession: his Veronica doll. After playing with it, Chip and Skip seem to catch him in the act. Nervously, Edward slips Veronica out the window, and it rolls down the hill outside.
Edward discovers this and screams in horror.
Meanwhile, while staring at a pine cone, the Jelly Beans find Veronica rolling towards them and think that it's an action figure.
Soon enough, Edward discovers the Bean Scouts playing with their new action figure. He cries and slaps himself, determined to hide the fact that the doll is his. The Beans spot Edward standing on the spot, shaking like a leaf, and ask him how he is."F-f-f-f-fine, thanks. W-w-w-wa-wa-wha-whatcha got there?" he quavers. They tell him it's an action figure and continue "playing" with it at the risk of damaging it. The sight being too much for him, Edward faints. When he comes to, he sees his beloved Veronica, safe and sound, right before his eyes. Overjoyed, Edward kisses the doll, leading to confused reactions from the other scouts. He denies that the doll is his (despite Lazlo being accepting of the fact that Edward plays with dolls), and sarcastically asks "What do I have to do to prove it to you, blow her up?!" Lazlo bluntly says "Yes", and Edward yells "FINE! I'LL BLOW HER UP THEN!"
Once out of earshot, Edward mutters that he wasn't really serious and he was convinced that everyone would forget about it. But they hadn't. Soon word was going around camp that Edward was going to blow up a doll (much to Scoutmaster Lumpus' panic, since he owns a collection of dolls himself.) Inside his cabin, Edward lingers over the imminent loss of his doll, "her soft, marshmallow hair, her pickle-like body, her tiny toothpick arms." And then he has an idea.
In front of the waiting crowd, Edward arrives and announces he's going to blow up his doll... which is really an effigy consisting of- what else?- a marshmallow with a face drawn on it, a pickle and some toothpicks. The crowd is incredulous and Lazlo assures Edward that he will go and get the doll from Pinto Cabin.
After looking around, Lazlo finds Veronica beneath Edward's bed, along with an extensive, expensive looking collection of Veronica merchandise. He realizes that Edward really does love the doll, and so decides to help him blow up the effigy instead under the excuse that "Dolls look like pickles in person."
Once the effigy is blown up, it begins raining marshmallows and pickles, which everyone starts eating.
Edward begins reluctantly thanking Lazlo for helping him, but quickly covers this up with a bark of "Clean this mess up, ya loser!" Understanding Edward’s thankfulness, Lazlo agrees to clean up the pickles, marshmallows, and toothpicks with Raj and Clam.
