[laughs]
Cue me, Frances!
Tillie Hippo Now just cut that out! Besides it was much more like... Meow, meow, meowy, meow, meow, bada, dump! Danny, wait. [hits Cranston] Oh, maybe one of us should talk to him.
Oh, I'll do it. It's about time someone talked to him. Since he's tip-tapped into town he's been nothing but trouble.
Well, I guess this is gonna set me back a whole day. Nah, maybe only half a day.
Look, Danny, I'm sorry your feelings got hurt, but the fact is, since you...
I don't get it. What happened in there, anyway?
Because if I did, I could go back in there. I could fix it.
Danny! Danny, they are not interested.
Don't you get it? What is it with you? Why are you so determined to make a fool of yourself?
What do you mean? All I wanna do is the thing I love. Doesn't everyone?
Then maybe that's where you should of stayed.
[singing]
You can do anything / If you...
I better not sing right now.
Oh, I was gonna slug that big dumb Max for you, but I don't wanna hurt the guy. So, what's that Dimple kid's problem? I thought you were great today!
Oh, you know all, that a bob-doo-doo-dee-ya-aaaah! [falling down]
No, it's a little more like, here, I'll show you.
[The piano music plays]
Whoa, whoa!
[Pudge and Danny dancing]
Hey, hey, hey!
Wait a minute. Where-where's that music coming from?
SG Security Guard
[to the animals]
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!
[He retreats back into his shell and turns on a vacuum, Sawyer types in the office.]
Here's our chance, Pudge. Come on! Hey, everybody!
Oh, look who's back! I wish he'd get himself stuffed.
I know a divine taxidermist darling. Did my first husband.
[song to Animal Jam plays]
Come on, everybody, gather 'round! Don't let this old town getcha down. Look at you there with the long, long face.
H Horse
[to another horse]
Hey, he must be talking to you.
You take this and you take that! Come 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?
[singing]
I got rhythm / In my feet / I got rhythm in my heart and soul / I got rhythm / Hot and sweet / Sometimes rhythm makes me loose control / Hat-cha-cha-chow! / I want everyone / To have all the fun / That I have / I got rhythm / So do you / Let's turn it on and show 'em what we can do!
Tillie Hippo Bye!
[The animals dancing while Tillie snaps Danny. Meanwhile, Max brushes Darla on his face]
Perfect! How could you possibly improve a face like this? What is that hideous racket?
[The animals dancing while then the animals singing and dancing]
Look at them. I'm ashamed to be an animal.
Oh, shut up, you old nanny, and show old Franny what you got.
[Cranston and Frances dancing]
Whoo-pee!
[Danny climbs the ladder and the light dust. Sawyer types the paper on the desk]
Huh? [music plays and she sees the animals; screams]
Come on, Sawyer. Grab a partner and do-si-do.
Hey, Sawyer, dance with me? I hear you're a natural.
[Woolie trumpets]
Listen, Danny, it's a waste of time! You'll never get to dance in the movies.
Movies? Did I say movies? Not really, we're just having fun.
Look at those fools. Laughable isn't it Max? Max? [Max dancing and gasps] MAX! [growls]
Not bad, a little rusty, but hey, who's perfect?
Rusty? [they all dancing] I'll give you rusty!
[Thunder booms]
Thunder and lightning. Check. Special effects all ready, Danny!
All right, everybody. Mr. Mammoth will be here any minute. Get into position. Remember, do it like you did in the alley. Only make it big and loud this time. And don't be nervous.
Nervous? Why would I be nervous?
Well, well. Run of the sound-stage, use of Darla's ark, costumes... I don't know. Something seems fishy.
Sorry. It's just that I smell a rat.
So, you decided to join us, huh?
Me? Oh, no, no, no. This is never gonna work. Besides, how did you arrange all of this?
Let's just say a little angel's looking out for us.
Come on, Sawyer. Your life isn't back there in that office. It's here.
[Off-screen]
It's 3:00, Danny!
Dance with me. See you on board.
Tillie Hippo Well?
Tillie Hippo And?
Tillie Hippo So?
Fortune says "Rough waters ahead". [shivers]
Start the rain, Pudge. When L.B. shows up we'll come out singing and dancing!
Ladies and gentlemen of the press, I bring you the founder of Mammoth Pictures, Mr. L.B. Mammoth! Boom chachalaca boom chachalaca boom!
R Reporter
Gee whiz, Mr. Mammoth, what's the secret of your success?
Dainty Delightful Darla Dimple!
Ah, the recipe for a Darla Dimple movie. Begin with one part adorable character in jeopardy.
[Inside the sound-stage, Darla has tied up Pudge]
Sorry, penguin, but in everyone's life, a little rain must fall. Max, man the valves!
[Max opens the water valve]
Add two parts perky determination...
More water, Max. More water!
[Max opens the water valve even more, causing the shower heads to burst open]
Sprinkle in an air of innocence...
Wind, Max! We must have WIND!
[Max rips off the fan guard, grips one of the blades, and pushes it down, creating wind]
Stir in...
[Max rips off the water valve, sending gallons of water gushing out into the flood]
Add a pinch of...
[Max grips a steam pipe, which starts bulging at the bottom. Two gauges and a bulb burn out, harming Pudge. The steam pipe eventually bursts, letting off steam]
And an itsy-bitsy dash of...
[Darla cackling evilly, Max slams the two lightning generators to create lightning]
Mix them all together, and what do you get?
[He presses the open door button and the stage doors open, revealing a flooded stage which then spills out into the lot with they screaming in terror. Flanigan leaps into his boss' arms] [panicking]
Mommy!
[The two friends scream their heads off, followed by the reporters, who scream and run for their lives. Then, the massive flood spills into the open lot, engulfing L.B. Mammoth and Flanigan. Back on the ark, Danny is at the steering wheel as he tries to steer the ark, while Woolie clings onto the crow's nest for dear life. The animal actors scream in terror as the ark does a corkscrew] [panicking]
Throw the anchor! Somebody, throw the anchor!
Tillie Hippo [Tillie tosses the anchor that catches Flanigan and L.B. Mammoth]
It's L.B.! [singing] We're on! Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag / And smile, smile, smile [bashing T.W. and Frances together]
[imitating Danny]
"Your life isn't back there at the office". He says! "Dance with me". He says. [nags at him] You know what your problem is?! You're pushy, self centered, pig-headed... No offense, Herb.
C Crewman
[The flood approaches a Samson and Delilah movie set]
Action. We're pushing, we're pushing... We're running, we're running!
[Danny and Sawyer are covered in their Egyptian garb]
And, your driving stinks!
Well, maybe you could do better. Go ahead, you take it.
If you think you know so much... Sawyer!
Well it doesn't get any worse than this. I was wrong. It's worse.
Tillie Hippo [gasps]
Oh my. This is an awkward moment. I don't think we met. I'm Tillie. Mr. Mammoth, Cranston, Cranston, Mr. Mammoth, Flanigan, Cranston... AAAAAAH!!!
A Announcer
What appears to be a tidal wave, folks, is actually just a special effect.
This has gone far enough! Give me that!
You didn't want it before! Give it!
Excuse me I don't mean to interrupt or anything, but we're about to...
DC Danny Cat and Sawyer Cat
[in unison]
Will you just stay out of this?!
R Receptionists
Good day, Mr. Mammoth.
You animals will never...
nibble kibble in this town again!
Tillie Hippo I think they liked it.
[Thunder, in a bar at the midnight]
Goodbye, show biz; hello, farm work.
Tillie Hippo [in a bar]
Well, there's always Broadway. Yeah! Broadway! I hear hippos are very big on Broadway!
They're big everywhere, darling!
You know... this is all Danny's fault.
You got it brother. That toe-tapping tom!
I never trusted him. Too happy.
Tillie Hippo Well, I have to admit, we were better off before.
Well, let's face it. That cat ruined our already miserable lives.
Tillie Hippo Well, he's just a... He's a crackerjack is what he is.
She's right. You're doggone right.
Nothing but trouble, that guy.
Bad luck! Old happy feet better not show his face around here again.
[People cheering]
Do you really love me?
Ladies and gentlemen. Wait! Please, take your seats! [coughs] Today we've come to honor Miss Darla Dimple. And because Darla Dimple cares she's arranged a special treat for you.
A special live show with an all animal cast!
Unheard of, yes, of course, but not enough for America's Sweetheart Lover of Children and Animals!
No, no, no. Now, don't try to share the credit. You're the one who has wanted us to perform for L.B., and I was not dreaming of performing without my friend... [notices they are not there] I-I...
Silly cat. Run along now. Skit scat, Mr. Kitty Cat. Isn't he cute? Run along and play, Mr. Kitty!
We're all behind you, Danny. 100%. Don't let them go, Tillie!
Tillie Hippo [Tillie is holding T.W., Cranston, and Frances in her arms]
I got them!
Let go! Have you lost your mind?
Release me you mad hippo!
Tillie Hippo One big happy family!
[Looking at his fortunes]
You will meet with disaster!
Would you just listen to me?
The end is near! The fat lady sung!
Look, if you're willing to accept what they can think of you, then you can go! [everyone gasps] I almost did.
Well, you should have! Life here for animals is the pits, always playing the scapegoat!
Then why are you still here?
Because you can't forget the feeling, can you? The feeling you have when... [Refers to Cranston and Frances] when you two dance together. [Camera switches to Woolie] When you play. [Danny motions to Sawyer] When you sing. They cursed you, humiliated you, and even slam the door in your face. But they still haven't made you forget. Have they?
[searches through his fortune cookie papers]
They can smash your cookie, but... but you'll always have your fortune. [everyone grins] Huh.
Come on. Let's go show 'em what we can do.
Tillie Hippo Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
Well... [yawns] It's kind of getting kind of more or less rather late!
You weren't right! Hit it Pudge!
[Pudge plays saxophone] [song to Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now plays; singing]
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen / If you would be so kind.
[singing]
Got someone very special here / She's 'bout to speak her mind...
[singing]
I gotta song to sing / If you don't like my song I'm gonna sing it anyhow! / I gotta dream in my heart! / Yeah! Nothin's gonna stop us now!
DC Danny Cat and Sawyer Cat
[singing]
Take 4 and 20 blackbirds / And bake 'em in a pie / Before you put it in the oven, babe, you know they're gonna fly.
[singing]
Say curiosity killed the cat? / I'm livin' proof that that's a lie!
DC Danny Cat and Sawyer Cat
[singing]
Now I'm gonna tell you why! / Yeah! Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us now! / Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us now!
[singing]
And if I wanna dance I'll dance!
[singing]
Just as long as the law will allow!
DC Danny Cat and Sawyer Cat
[singing]
Dance and sing all night long! / Nothing's gonna stop us now! / Yеah! Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us / Yeah!
[singing]
Look for me wherе there's the smell of danger! / The smell of danger is my middle name / I've been very quiet / But I've got a lot to say, believe me!
FA Frances Albacore and Cranston Goat
[singing]
If you ain't goin' with us then stay out of our way!
Tillie Hippo [singing]
Oh, Dear! Locked down, knocked down, locked down, shut down, held / Down, fell down, Everybody! / Push back, push back, get on a contract! / When you got yours you musta got mine!
A All
[singing]
Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us now!
DC Danny Cat and Sawyer Cat
[singing]
I gotta feeling inside! / The moon! And it's love! Without a doubt! / Oh, I got someone I'm crazy about!! / Nothing's gonna stop us now!| Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us now! / Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us / Nothing's gonna stop us now!
[singing]
No, no, no! / Nothing's gonna stop us now! / Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[The crowd cheering]
