The Cat in the Hat Page #5

@ So can't you see

I'm as happy as a clam

I'm as fit as a fiddle @

@ Yeah, the dogs

may bark about you @

@ And the purebred chaps

may doubt you @

Getting motion sickness!

Milk? Big mistake.

@ But remember this

You can't have fun without "U" @

I can't breathe!

Ohh!

Whoa!

I knew that milk would

come back to haunt me.

Help! Help!

@"U" in the middle @@

- Bravo, Cat.

- Huh?

These children are smart enough

not to fall for your MTV-style flash...

at the expense of content

and moral values.

That was wicked cool!

Do it again!

I'd love to, but Shamu is right...

I really should be going.

- No, don't go!

- No, I should go.

I should let you and the fish

have all your fun conjugating verbs,

cleaning your room,

doing long division.

No, you have to stay!

All right, I'll stay.

Oh, yeah!

Yeah!

But if I'm gonna stay,

there's something I wanna show you.

Something magical...

and full of wonder.

- It's called a contract.

- You want us to sign this?

- Just a formality, really. Yeah.

- Who are they?

Magical time-traveling elves.

Yeah. Magic.

Okay, they're my lawyers.

Liability issues, litigious society,

frivolous lawsuits.

You understand.

Basically, this contract guarantees

you can have all the fun you want...

and nothing beds

ever gonna happen.

- All the fun we want?

- Uh-yeah!

- Nothing bad will happen?

- Uh-no!

Come on, Sal,

for once in your life

try something spontaneous.

It goes against

my better instincts, but...

fine.

Beautiful.

Initial here.

And here. And here.

Not here!

Turn it over.

This is nothing.

Scratch this.

Smell that!

Terrific.

Yadee-yadee-yadee.

Sign the bottom.

You're it!

Okay, gimme five!

Four.

Let's get this party

started! Uh-huh!

Hey, check out this room!

What now?

Mom says we're not

allowed in the living room

today, or else.

She's worried we'll mess up the couches

by jumpin' on 'em or somethin'

And she's right.

You can't jump on these.

Not like this.

They need some adjustment.

Yee-haw!

Let's take a look

under the hood.

Yeah.

Just doin' my job.

Sorry.

What have we got here?

Whew.

Here we go.

It's oversized.

That's unusual.

Here it is.

Down, Simba!

Down, Simba!

Get outta here!

Spray me, would ya?

You...

- Thanks for the help.

Back in a second.

Who's your couch mechanic?

You oughta call

Mr. Catwrench.

Oww! My fur!

My fur! My fur!

That oughta do it.

Whoo!

Come on, kids.

I could use a little company.

What about Mom's party?

What about it?

We signed the contract.

Wha-hoo!

Yeah!

One cushion left,

Sally.

She'll never do it.

She doesn't know

how to have fun.

Fun? Sally,

you're better than fun.

Fun is beneath you.

Remember

what your mother told you...
