Pete, about that job...

Wait! Is no good!

Rats want job!

Frog want job!

- What next? Penguins?

- Do you have jobs available?

- No!

- Well, excuse us for living!

Hey, Pop, everybody's

waiting for their food.

Pete, I can work nights.

Come on, Pete. Give these guys

a break, all right?

Hey, I go crazy!

- Okay, rats, you go to work.

- Yea!

Wait! Wait!

Listen. I tell you what is.

Is no work, is dancing...

is cheese... is big shoes!

Waitress!

- All right, rats, go to work.

- Yea!

So, like, you got

a boyfriend?

Pete, is there nothing else?

'Cause I'll do anything...

Pop, we could use

some help in the kitchen.

Is dishes need washing.

Oh, thanks, Pete!

That's terrific! Oh, boy!

- Thanks a lot, Jenny!

- Hey, no sweat.

- So, where are all your friends?

- They had to leave.

- Oh, even your pig friend?

- Yes, but I'm bringing her back.

I wrote the show for them.

When I sell it, I can bring them back.

I'm staying and I'm getting

our show on Broadway.

I really admire that.

I'm going to do

something special too.

I mean, in fashion.

Maybe your fashion

designing can help me now.

- What do you mean?

- I did some reading last night...

about Broadway producers

and investors and agents.

Now I know what I have

to do to sell our show.

I can use your help

'cause I have a three-part plan.

And the first part is...

if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Hiya, sweetheart! I just

flew in from the coast.

I love your hair!

Don't ever touch it!

Listen, I got an appointment

with your top theater agent.

Leonard Winesop?

Yeah, Lennie, right.

What office is he in, doll?

He's in Suite 1024.

I'll call and see...

No, no, sweetheart. No need for that,

'cause Lennie and I go way back!

I'm talkin' way back.

But, thanks, honey.

Far out! Right on!

Mr. Winesop?

Yeah? A frog.

With an afro.

Hiya, Lennie, sweetheart, babe!

I just flew in from the coast.

Hey, I love your office.

Don't change a thing.

My private plane's

double-parked so I gotta run.

I got this boffo, socko script for a

Broadway slot called Manhattan Melodies.

It's totally today yet

tremendously timeless.

I'm giving you first look-see

'cause we're like family.

Have I ever lied to you?

Oop, I think I hear my beeper.

I gotta split. I'll have

your people call my people.

We'll set a conference call.

Remember, Lennie.

Boffo, Lennie. Socko, Lennie.

I'll call you.

We'll have lunch. Ciao!

- Hi, Jenny!

- Hi. Here. Have a seat.

Were you a hit?

They loved it, right?

- How'd the costume work?

- The costume was great.

It's hard to tell how it went. They're

probably reading the script right now.

Hey, baby.

Baby!

Where you goin', sweetheart?

Hello.
