Cats Don't Dance Page #4

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

And it's not a pea for that matter either.

It's rather odd that they call it a nut because it isn't a nut, you see.

It's... It's... It's a member of the legume family.

Sugar?

- Yeah. - Wait, wait. How about pea legume?

No, that wouldn't make sense either.

But whatever it is, it makes a splendid tea.

My grandmother developed this recipe, with certain additions from yours truly.

I forgot the cream. Would you like some cream?

- No, no! - Don't go to any trouble!

All right. All right. Suit yourself, suit yourself.

That music was great, Woolie. Did you write it for some movie?

No, no, it's not for any movie.

I used to hope that one day I'd write music for the motion pictures.

But all they wanted me for was to put on those beastly tusks and...

...at the beginning of every film.

- What a waste of your talent. - Oh, it's the same for everyone.

Look behind you.

So many, many broken dreams.

Is that Sawyer?

Poor Sawyer. I thought she'd be the one to make it.

Such a dancer with the voice of an angel.

I never would have guessed.

That's what this town does to you, my boy.

It wears you down.

But I thought Hollywood was always looking for new talent.

Talented people, not animals.

You see...

...the spotlight will never be on fellows like you and me.

And it's foolish to think otherwise, Danny.

Danny?

Yeah. Foolish.

Unless...

...we can remind them.

- Of what? - Why they came here in the first place.

All right, all of you, listen up!

I only need you, water buffalo, for the Tarzan jungle stampede.

The rest of you, go home.

Well, today's shot. Might as well go home and clean.

Here's our chance, Pudge. Come on!

Hey, everybody!

Look who's back. I wish he'd get himself stuffed.

I know a divine taxidermist, darling.

Did my first husband.

Come on, everybody, gather around

Don 't let this old town get you down

Look at you there With the long, long face

Hey, he must be talking to you.

You take this and you take that Come on over here, T. W., put on this hat

If we all work together We can make our dreams come true

Let's show the world what we can do

- Pudge? - Yeah.

Boogie with me!

I got rhythm in my feet

I got rhythm in my heart and soul

I got rhythm, hot and sweet

Sometimes rhythm Makes me lose control

I want everyone to have all the fun

That I have

I've got rhythm So do you

Let's turn it on And show what we can do

Bye!

Perfect.

How could you possibly improve a face like this?

What is that hideous racket?

Look at them. I'm ashamed to be an animal.

Shut up, you old nanny, and show old Franny what you got.

Hey.

Come on, Sawyer. Grab a partner and do-si-do.

Hey, Sawyer, dance with me? I hear you're a natural.
