Cats Don't Dance Page #2

Synopsis: Danny is a cat leaving his small town home for the big time in Hollywood.

Here, let me get the door for you. Where I come from you see clouds first.

- Stay. - After you.

And then the rain comes after it.

I'm sorry. Miss?

Oh, I'm telling you, one more plucking scene...

...and... right in the gizzard.

So aggravating and humiliating. I'm out of this picture business.

There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

So I guess we're gonna be the only two cats on the ark, huh?

- Pretty great, huh? - So much for preserving the species.

Hey, Kong, how's the picture coming?

Don't get me started!

You know the King?

On my side of the tram, home of Darla Dimple...

...America's sweetheart. Look for Darla in Lil Ark Angel...

...coming soon to a theater near you.

All right, everybody. We're ready for Darla's big ark.

Hey. Hey, mister. I could help you push that cart, you know.

Hey. What are you doing? Get out of here, kid.

Let me help, will you?

I'm little but I'm strong.

- These sweets are for Miss Dimple. - Okay, all right.

You don't have to get mad.

I'm busted.

- Hey. - Hey.

You're the cat from this morning?

- What are you doing here? - That ice thing is just my side job.

Name's Peabo Pudgemyer.

But you can call me Pudge.

Time to start. Better go get your costume.

Script! Script! Script!

"Meow"? Is that all? Where's the rest?

- You're looking at it. - But I thought this was a musical.

We're supposed to sing and dance, aren't we?

Oh, for the love of Moby Dick.

Listen, tiger, this town has rules. Around here, cats say "meow."

But that's so old hat. I'm sure no one would mind if I jazz this up a bit.

All right, learn it the hard way.

Meow, see. Yeah, that's it, meow, meow.

Quiet on the set, please. Quiet!

Miss Dimple is ready to begin.

Lights! Camera!

Action.

Cue the elephant.

Tusk, tusk, hair.

- The hair, the hair, fix the hair. - Sorry.

Now, the people, they were so bad

That the Lord made the rain come down

And he washed away their bad cities

And he washed away their bad towns

And all of the people drowned

With the animals it was different

Though some of them drowned too

The others were just poor animals

And they didn 't know what to do

So I built a little boat

As cute as it can be

And I put all the animals two by two In my little boat on the sea

The moo cows went:

The piggies went:

And all the little birdies went Tweet, tweet, tweet

In my little boat on the sea

The doggy went:

The kitty cat went:

The lion went:

- In my little boat on the sea - Talking about the boat on the sea

On the sea

Meow?

- Cut! Cut, cut, cut! - Cut? Yes, cut.

Let me down this instant!

Lower Miss Dimple! Lower her!

Hurry! Hurry! Lower Miss Dimple!

Darla. Darla, darling. Here...
