Transcript: Kitten Academy
(music plays)
The TVO Kids and Air Bud logos appear on a white screen.
A caption reads "Air Bud Entertainment Presents."
Harvey sits on a garbage can in the street. She is white and gray.
Corazon say CAT. THE ENEMY OF...
Harvey says DOG. THE ENEMY OF CAT.
(cowboy music plays)
Corazon says COOL RECAP, BRO.
Corazon barks at Harvey.
A Male Mail Carriers says BETTER HIM THAN ME.
[chuckles]
[pup academy whistle blowing]
Corazon gasps and says MY HYDRANT!
Harvey says WELL, I GUESS THAT MEANS
YOU HAVE TO RUN.
SMELL YOU LATER,
BONE BREATH!
CAT'S RULE!
Corazon says HEY! COME BACK HERE!
THIS ISN'T OVER!
WOO-HOO!
Corazon runs into a magical fire hydrant and appears in a classroom.
[indistinct chatter]
Reginald snores and murmurs. He is an old Basset Hound.
Corazon says WOW. THIS PROFESSOR
TOTALLY KNOWS HOW
TO CHILLAX.
Fitz walks in and says WELL, HOW'S EVERYTHING
GOING IN HERE?
UGH, REGINALD.
NOT AGAIN!
OKAY, CLASS.
TODAY'S LESSON IS ON ACCEPTANCE
AND COEXISTENCE.
Corazon says CO-E-WHATTITY-WHAT?
Fitz says COEXISTENCE.
SPECIFICALLY, THE ETERNAL
QUESTION OF HOW TO TOLERATE
THE INTOLERABLE...
CATS.
[all exclaiming]
Pups say BOO!
YEAH, BOO!
Fitz says YES, YES, YES, GROSS, I KNOW.
BUT OUR ARCHIVIST, REGINALD,
KEEPER OF ALL RECORDS AND
CHIEF HISTORIAN OF THE ACADEMY,
WILL EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE.
AHEM.
REGINALD!
Reginald wakes up and says UH, DOGGIE BISCUITS!
WHAT THE... OH, NO.
DOGS AND CATS
USED TO BE
NATURAL ENEMIES.
TO THE POINT
THAT IT BECAME A PHRASE.
YOU KNOW,
"FIGHTING LIKE CATS AND DOGS"?
Corazon chuckles and says HA HA!
CLASSIC.
Reginald continues THEN, HUMANS DECIDED
THAT BOTH DOGS
AND CATS WOULD MAKE
GREAT PETS, AND SO...
[snoring]
Whiz says HMM. I THOUGHT THE TEACHERS
WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE US SLEEPY.
Reginald says UGH! PORK CHOPS!
WHAT? OH!
AND SO,
AN AGREEMENT WAS MADE.
THAT WHEN DOG AND CAT...
BOO!...LIVED WITH HUMAN,
THERE WOULD BE PEACE.
A Pup says NEVER!
Rotty says CATS ARE ROTTY'S
FAVORITE CHEW TOY!
Corazon says CAT.
CAT, CAT, CAT, CAT, CAT.
Spark says CHILL. CHILL, CHILL,
CHILL, CHILL, CHILL.
Reginald says WE SIGNED A SACRED TRUCE
WITH THE CATS
AND SEALED IT IN THIS LOCKET
THAT WE KEEP SAFE,
DEEP IN THE ARCHIVES
OF OUR ACADEMY.
Fitz says SHORTER VERSION,
SEE A CAT, DON'T ATTACK.
Corazon says ATTACK?
Reginald says NO! CORAZON!
THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID.
Rotty says GO GET HIM!
BITE HIM GOOD!
Fitz says UGH!
Reginald says EVERY TIME!
PLEASE, DO NOT
ENCOURAGE HIM!
Corazon chews and bites a teddy cat.
Whiz says CATS ARE THE WORST.
Bite says YOU CALL THAT AN ATTACK?
TOUCHÉ!
Reginald says CORAZON!
Corazon says DID I PASS?
[class laughing]
The theme song plays.
Through magical portals disguised as fire hydrants, puppies appear at the Pup Academy entrance. They wear school uniforms.
At the academy, Charlie turns on a device that lights up the fire hydrants and activates the puppies' collars. Fast clips show them at school and playing. Morgan, Charlie and Izzy have fun with the pups and experience different adventures.
The song plays YEAH, HERE WE ARE, WE'RE
ALWAYS LEARNING SOMETHING NEW
THERE MAY BE UPS AND DOWNS
BUT WE'LL BE COMIN' THROUGH
SO PAY ATTENTION
WE'LL PICK UP A THING OR TWO
UH-OH-O-OH
I'LL BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
YOU GOT ME DAY AND NIGHT
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE
FOR YOU
AND I KNOW
YOU'RE THERE FOR ME TOO
AND WE GOT THAT BOND
FOR LIFE
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
I GOT YOU LIKE THAT.
Against the night sky, the name of the show appears. It reads "Pup Academy. Created by Anna McRoberts."
Fitz says UGH.
LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.
YOU SEE A CAT.
Corazon says RIGHT.
Fitz says YOU DON'T ATTACK.
Corazon says WHAT?
Fitz says YOU GREET THE CAT.
Corazon says AW...
Fitz says AND HOW DO WE GREET A CAT?
Whiz says WATCH AND LEARN.
Whiz sniff a new teddy cat sitting on a stool.
Fitz says OH!
WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS.
WE ARE GREETING A CAT,
NOT A DOG.
Corazon says BUT FIGHTING LIKE CATS
AND DOGS, IT'S IN OUR DNA!
Spark says I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THE BIG DEAL IS.
YOU LEAVE CATS ALONE,
THEY'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
[all gasp]
Corazon says WHAT?
Pup 1 says HMM?
Pup 2 says CAT LOVER!
Spark says I WOULDN'T SAY LOVE.
MAYBE LIKE?
TOLERATE? ACCEPT?
[whimpers]
Spark says ISN'T THAT WHAT
THIS CLASS IS ABOUT?
Corazon says YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
OR, AND HEAR ME OUT,
WE COULD
GET THE CAT!
[all clamoring]
Pup 3 says TAKE HIM DOWN, CORAZON!
Fitz says EH, ALWAYS THE
HARDEST CLASS OF THE YEAR.
Morgan and Izzy chat outside the academy.
Morgan says JUST FORGET ABOUT IT.
PLEASE.
Izzy says I FOLLOWED MY DOG
THROUGH A FIRE HYDRANT
TO THE MOST AMAZING PLACE
I'VE EVER SEEN,
AND YOU WANT ME TO JUST
FORGET ABOUT IT?
Morgan says I EXACTLY WANT YOU
TO FORGET ABOUT IT.
Izzy says HOW DO I GET BACK?
NO, WHEN CAN I GO BACK?
SORRY, THAT'S NOT POLITE.
MAY I GO BACK?
Morgan says TOO POLITE.
I DEMAND...
Morgan says CAN WE NOT DO THIS
OUT IN THE OPEN?
IMAGINE WHAT SOMEONE
WOULD THINK ABOUT ME
IF I SAID I WENT TO
A SCHOOL FOR DOGS, RUN BY DOGS?
Izzy says THEY'D THINK YOU'RE WEIRD.
Morgan says EXACTLY.
Izzy says OKAY. LET'S GO
SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN.
Morgan says I HAVE TO GET TO CLASS.
Izzy says WELL, WHAT IF
I MAKE THIS FACE?
[whimpering]
Morgan says CAN YOU NOT DO THAT?
I'M ALREADY THE NEW KID.
I DON'T NEED TO BE THE KID
WITH THE WEIRD FRIEND TOO.
Izzy says BUT I'M JUST AN
IDDY-BIDDY-WITTLE PUPPY DOG.
Morgan says ALL RIGHT, FINE.
THIS WAY.
Izzy says YES!
The torn teddy cat sits on D.O.G's desk.
D.O.G. says WELL, HERE WE ARE.
AGAIN.
LIKE EVERY YEAR.
Gruff sighs and says TEACHING PUPS
TO RESTRAIN
THEMSELVES AROUND CATS
IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGE.
D.O.G. says BUT THE TRUCE IS IMPORTANT.
UGH. I DO SO HATE
THIS PART OF THE JOB,
BUT IT DOES SEEM TO HELP
WITH THE LESSON.
[phone line ringing]
D.O.G. calls Felicia. She is an elegant white and brownish cat. She wears a black dotted bandana around her neck.
Sitting on a luxurious sofa, Felicia says KITTEN ACADEMY.
HEADMISTRESS FELICIA SPEAKING.
WHO IS THIS,
AND TELL ME WHY I SHOULD CARE?
D.O.G. says THIS IS THE HOTLINE
BETWEEN OUR TWO ACADEMIES,
HEADMISTRESS FELICIA.
YOU KNOW WHY I'M CALLING.
IT'S TIME FOR
THE ANNUAL STUDENT EXCHANGE.
Felicia says MMM. YES. THAT TIME OF YEAR.
WHERE YOU SEND US ONE OF YOUR
STUDENTS TO BLAH BLAH BLAH,
LEARN TO GET ALONG
WITH CATS, ET CETERA,
ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
D.O.G. says YES, VERY GOOD.
Felicia says AND IN THE SPIRIT OF OUR
LONG-STANDING TRUCE,
WE WILL SEND
OUR BEST KITTEN TOMORROW.
AND I TRUST YOU WILL SEND
YOUR BEST PUPPY?
Felicia UH, YES, YES.
WE'RE SENDING
THE BEST OF THE BEST.
Gruff says I THOUGHT WE WERE
SENDING CORAZON?
D.O.G. says SHH!
Felicia says OKAY, CIAO.
ZIPPER?
HERE, ZIPPER, ZIPPER,
ZIPPER, ZIPPER, ZIPPER!
[kissing sounds]
Zipper is a small tabby cat wearing a red tie.
Zipper says YOU KISSY NOISED,
HEADMISTRESS?
Felicia says YES. IT'S TIME.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE PLAN?
Zipper says YES, HEADMISTRESS FELICIA.
BUT ARE YOU SURE
WE SHOULD BE DOING THIS?
I MEAN, NOT ALL DOGS
ARE TERRIBLE.
Felicia says AH-TA-TA-TA.
WE HELPED YOU FIND YOUR
FOREVER FAMILY, ZIPPER.
YOU OWE ME.
YOU WERE A STRAY ONCE,
AND I THINK THOSE SKILLS
CAN FINALLY DESTROY THE TRUCE.
I CAN COUNT ON YOU, YES?
Zipper says YES.
Felicia says MARVELOUS.
BUT FIRST, YARN!
Zipper says ROWR!
YAY!
YARN IS SO FLUFFY
AND PUFFY!
[laughing]
The bell rings at the academy.
Morgan says OKAY. SO WHAT ELSE DO
YOU WANT TO KNOW?
Izzy says OKAY, SO, I KNOW THAT PUPS
GET IN THROUGH THE HYDRANTS,
BUT HOW?
HOW DID THEY GET IN?
I TRIED,
AND MY HEAD STILL HURTS.
Morgan says FIRST, THEY HEAR
A WHISTLE, RIGHT.
WHICH IS KINDA LIKE
OUR SCHOOL BELL, THEN THEY...
Schiffley says SPEAKING OF SCHOOL BELLS,
DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR OURS?
Morgan says UM, ACTUALLY,
NO, PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY.
WE MUST HAVE MISSED IT.
Izzy says YEAH, UH, WE WERE BUSY
GOING OVER OUR HOMEWORK.
Morgan says YEAH.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
Izzy says NOPE.
Schiffley says I HOPE NOT.
I'VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU, EDWARDS.
REMEMBER, I COULD PUT YOU
IN DETENTION LIKE THAT.
LIKE... LIKE THAT!
She tries to snap her fingers but cannot do it.
She continues THAT.
SERIOUSLY, WHAT AM I
NOT GETTING HERE?
Next, outside the school, Corazon says THIS IS SO LAME.
WHY DO I HAVE DO TO DO THIS?
WHY ME?
D.O.G. says DO YOU REMEMBER
THE CLASS THIS MORNING?
YOU KNOW,
THE ONE ABOUT CATS?
Corazon says CATS? WHERE?
MUST ATTACK!
Gruff says YES. I BELIEVE THAT
WAS YOUR REACTION EARLIER.
Corazon says AH. THAT'S WHY ME.
D.O.G. says WE WILL BREAK
THIS HABIT, CORAZON.
YOU WILL LEARN
TO COEXIST WITH CATS.
Corazon says OKAY. OKAY.
A SCHOOL FULL OF KITTENS,
I CAN TOTALLY HANDLE THIS.
HOW BAD CAN THIS BE?
Corazon jumps into a fire hydrant and appears in a sleek room full of kittens.
[cats meowing]
Corazon says THIS BAD. I GUESS.
Back at the Pup Academy, Fitz says OKAY, CLASS.
THIS IS OUR
EXCHANGE CAT, ZIPPER.
THIS IS NOT
A STUFFED TOY,
SO I TRUST YOU WILL ALL
BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR.
Zipper says WAIT. TRUST?
SO MY LIFE IS RIDING
ON THE HONOR SYSTEM?
Fitz says YES. PLEASE IGNORE THAT PILE
OF SHREDDED STUFFED CATS.
Zipper says PILE OF SHREDDED, WHAT?
UM, YOU KNOW,
I REALLY SHOULD BE GOING.
[nervous laugh]
WAIT.
SPARK?
Spark gasps.
In a memory, Zipper and two other kittens sit on a card box in the street.
Zipper says I'M SCARED, KITTIES.
WHERE ARE WE?
Tail says YOU'RE ON MY STREET NOW,
KITTENS.
[snarling]
Spark says PICK ON SOMEONE
YOUR OWN SIZE, TAIL.
Tail says UH, SPARK? I... I...
I WASN'T GONNA DO ANYTHING...
Spark says I SAID SCRAM!
[barks]
Tail says AH! OKAY! OKAY!
Tail runs away.
Zipper says WOW, THANKS.
PRETTY COOL FOR A DOG.
Spark says YEAH, WELL, WE'RE BOTH STRAYS,
AND WE ALL HAVE FOUR PAWS.
NAME'S SPARK.
Zipper says ZIPPER.
NICE TO MEET YOU, SPARK.
[echoes]
The memory ends.
Zipper says SPARK? IS THAT YOU?
Bite says HEY! THAT CAT KNOWS YOU.
Pup 4 says WHAT?
Zipper says WE MET ON THE STREET.
WHEN WE WERE BOTH STR...
Spark says NO! PIPE DOWN, CAT!
Fitz says OH, MY.
SPARK, ARE YOU SURE
THERE'S NOTHING
YOU'D LIKE
TO TELL THE CLASS?
Spark says I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM
BEFORE IN MY LIFE.
Zipper gasps and says MEOW-CH!
Pup 4 says WOO-HOO!
THANK GOODNESS IT'S RECESS!
I GOTTA GO!
Zipper says ARGH! WOULD IT KILL THEM TO HAVE
A LITTER BOX AROUND HERE?
Spark says PSST. ZIPPER.
Zipper says OH, NOW YOU REMEMBER ME.
Spark says JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE COOL.
I CAN'T LET ANYONE KNOW
THAT I'M FRIENDS...
Zipper says WITH A CAT?
Spark says WELL, YEAH.
BUT SPECIFICALLY, WITH YOU.
Zipper says IS THAT SUPPOSED TO
MAKE ME FEEL BETTER?
Spark says WOW. WHEN YOU PUT IT
THAT WAY, PROBABLY NOT.
WHAT I MEAN IS...
Zipper says I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
YOU'RE A SCAREDY-CAT.
Spark says WHAT?
[pups laughing]
Rotty says WHOA, ZING!
Fits clears his throat and says COME ALONG, YOU TWO.
TIME FOR CLASS.
Rotty says SMELL YOU LATER, SCAREDY-CAT!
Spark says ARGH!
[purring]
Corazon says OKAY, CORAZON.
SO FAR, SO GOOD.
KEEP YOUR PAWS TO YOURSELF,
AND DO NOT
CHEW ON THE CATS!
Felicia says NOT THAT I CARE,
BUT YOU'RE SUPPRESSING
YOUR AGGRESSION
QUITE NICELY, CORAZON.
Corazon says WELL, THERE'S MORE OF YOU
THAN THERE ARE OF ME.
PLUS, THE CLAWS.
SO MANY CLAWS.
Felicia says YES.
[hisses]
Corazon says SO, UM, THIS CLASS
FEELS LIKE THE LAST CLASS.
Felicia says THAT WAS "RELAX" CLASS.
THIS IS "CHILL" CLASS.
BIG DIFFERENCE.
THERE WE LEARNED TO RELAX.
HERE WE LEARN TO CHILL OUT.
Corazon says OH, SO YOU'RE CHILLAXING?
Felicia says CHILLAXING IS THE NEXT CLASS.
LOOK, CORAZON.
THERE'S A TIME FOR REST
AND A TIME FOR MORE REST,
BUT MOSTLY, THERE'S TIME FOR...
Corazon says PLAY?
Corazon chases his own tail.
Felicia says CLASSIC DOG.
THIS MAY TAKE SOME WORK.
Corazon laughs.
Izzy and Morgan attend a class.
A Male Teacher says BUDGETING HELPS YOU MAKE A PLAN
TO SPEND MONEY IN A WAY
THAT ENSURES
YOU'LL HAVE SOME LEFT OVER
FOR THE IMPORTANT
THINGS IN LIFE.
A GOOD RULE TO FOLLOW
IS THE 50-20-30 RULE.
Izzy says PSST!
Morgan says NOT NOW.
The Teacher says THAT'S 50 percent
OF YOUR INCOME ON...
Izzy says PSST!
A girl says SHH!
The Teacher says AS I WAS SAYING...
Izzy whispers ONE MORE QUESTION
ABOUT THAT PLACE
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.
Morgan whispers NOT NOW.
WE'RE LEARNING
ABOUT BUDGETING.
Izzy says COME ON, JUST ONE MORE...
The Teacher says IZZY! MORGAN!
THAT'S ENOUGH.
Morgan says SORRY.
The Teacher clears his throat and continues GAS BILL, THAT'S AN EXAMPLE
OF A VARIABLE COST.
VARIABLE COSTS CHANGE
FROM MONTH TO MONTH.
[phone vibrating]
Izzy calls Morgan but his puts his phone away.
The Teacher continues GROCERY BILL,
ELECTRIC BILL.
SO ON.
THE OTHER TYPE OF BILL
IS FIXED COST.
THAT STAYS THE SAME.
Izzy writes a note and says PSST! JUST TAKE IT!
Morgan says NO, NO, NO!
Izzy says PSST!
Morgan accepts the note.
The Teacher says MORGAN!
WHAT DO YOU GOT THERE?
Morgan says UM, PHONE BILLS?
The Teacher says IS THAT A NOTE?
VERY OLD SCHOOL.
BUT IF IT'S IMPORTANT
ENOUGH TO WRITE IN CLASS,
IT'S IMPORTANT ENOUGH
TO READ IN CLASS...
Izzy says I WROTE IT.
The Teacher says GIVE IT.
Izzy says I'LL READ IT.
The Teacher says HMM.
PROCEED.
Izzy says UH, IT SAYS, UH...
Morgan coughs.
Izzy says IT SAYS, UH...
She reads "HEY, MORGAN,
DO YOU THINK THIS NOTE
TASTES LIKE BLUEBERRIES"?
Izzy eats the note.
[class laughing]
The Teacher says HA HA HA.
EVERYBODY, SETTLE DOWN.
Izzy spits the note and says EH. UGH.
The Teacher says AND, IZZY?
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT NOTES
TASTE LIKE DETENTION.
WHICH IS WHERE
I'LL SEE YOU BOTH AFTER SCHOOL.
Gruff says OKAY, PUPS, IT'S TIME
FOR HOUSE TRAINING CLASS.
AS YOU KNOW, WE HELP OUR HUMANS
KEEP THEIR HOUSES CLEAN
BY DOING OUR BUSINESS OUTSIDE.
Zipper says WHOA. WAIT. OUTSIDE?
A white pup says WAIT A MINUTE,
YOU POOP INSIDE?
Zipper says OF COURSE.
[clamoring]
Gruff says SETTLE DOWN NOW.
Whiz says THAT IS PRETTY UNHYGIENIC.
YOU MUST NEED SO MANY BATHS.
Zipper says IN WATER?
I'VE NEVER HAD A BATH.
Pup 5 says EW!
GROSS!
Rotty says CATS ARE DISGUSTING!
Zipper says WHAT? NO.
IT'S NOT DISGUSTING,
WE LICK OURSELVES CLEAN!
Rotty says EW! DOUBLE GROSS!
Whiz says CATS ARE MORE THAN DISGUSTING!
Gruff says ENOUGH!
ZIPPER IS OUR SPECIAL GUEST,
SHOW SOME RESPECT.
Zipper says OKAY, SO MAYBE WE HAVE
A FEW DIFFERENCES.
BUT WE ALL HAVE FOUR PAWS,
RIGHT, SPARK?
Spark says MMM...
Zipper says BUT MAYBE THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
MAYBE IT NEVER WAS.
At the Kittens Acadamy, Corazon says SO, UH, I KNOW THIS
IS "CHILLAX" CLASS,
BUT DON'T YOU EVER
DO ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, FUN?
A brown cat with a collar says HEY, KITTIES.
SHOW HIM THE LASER POINTER.
Corazon says RED DOT!
RED DOT, RED DOT,
RED DOT!
UH, WHAT AM I LEARNING?
The brown cat says NOTHING.
YOU'RE JUST CHASING THE DOT.
Corazon says THIS IS AWESOME!
WHERE'D IT GO? THERE IT IS!
AH! IT MOVED!
THIS IS AMAZING!
IT'S LIKE CHASING YOUR TAIL,
BUT LESS PAINFUL
WHEN YOU CATCH IT.
The brown cat says IF YOU LIKE THAT,
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE
"MOUSE ON STRING."
Corazon says GO ON.
Later, Corazon says WHAT A DAY, GUYS.
WE'VE CHILLED, WE'VE RELAXED,
AND WE'VE CHILLAXED.
OH, I HAD IT WRONG.
YOU WELCOMED ME HERE.
YOU SHOWED ME
YOUR GLOWY DOT.
I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE TIMES
I CHASED YOU AROUND.
FROM NOW ON, I'M JUST
GONNA STICK TO THE MAILMAN.
The brown cat says YEAH.
MAILMEN ARE THE WORST.
Corazon and the kittens say MAILMEN ARE OUR MORTAL ENEMY!
Reginald sleeps in an office.
Zipper walks in and whispers THIS HAS GOTTA BE
THE PLACE.
THE TRUCE IS MINE.
A necklace with a shiny red stone hangs on a golden cat statue.
Spark says ZIPPER, YOU IN HERE?
ZIPPER?
OH, THERE YOU ARE.
LOOK, ZIPPER,
I CAME TO APOLOGIZE.
THERE'S THINGS ABOUT ME
THAT MY CLASSMATES DON'T KNOW,
AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
IT'S NOT WHO I AM.
I'M SORRY. ZIP?
Zipper says APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED.
NOW, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
Zipper wears the necklace.
[chiming]
Spark says WAIT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT?
Zipper says NOTHING I NEED TO TELL
SOME RANDO DOG
I APPARENTLY DON'T KNOW.
Spark says THAT REPRESENTS THE TRUCE
THAT BONDS CATS AND DOGS.
Zipper says YEAH?
WELL IT'S NOT WORKING,
AND IT'S ABOUT
TO BE DESTROYED.
[hissing]
Spark says DON'T DO THIS, ZIPPER!
Zipper says WHY NOT?
YOU SHOWED ME DOGS AND CATS
CAN'T TRUST EACH OTHER.
IT'S TIME TO GO BACK
TO THE WAY THINGS WERE.
Spark says WERE HOW?
Reginald wakes up and says AH!
THE WAY THINGS WERE
IN THE DAYS OF ANCIENT EGYPT.
WHERE DOGS WERE NOT
HUMAN'S BEST FRIENDS
AND CATS, CATS, CATS,
WERE WORSHIPED AS GODS.
Reginald falls asleep again.
Zipper says HE WAS HERE THE WHOLE TIME?
Spark says HE'S A HEAVY SLEEPER.
ZIPPER. GIVE ME THE TRUCE.
Zipper says YOU WANT THE TRUCE?
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUCE!
[hissing]
Spark says HEY!
SOMEBODY STOP THAT CAT!
Morgan whispers THANKS FOR NOT BLOWING
THE SECRET BACK THERE, IZZY.
Izzy whispers NO PROBLEM.
IT WAS MY FAULT ANYWAY.
SORRY FOR GETTING US DETENTION.
Morgan says SO THE PAPER?
DID IT ACTUALLY
TASTE LIKE BLUEBERRY?
Izzy chuckles and says NO!
UH, BUT IT WAS STILL BETTER
THAN THE SCHOOL'S MEATLOAF.
They laugh and high-five.
Izzy says I HAVE SO MANY
MORE QUESTIONS.
Morgan says WELL, FIRE AWAY.
WE'RE IN DETENTION,
WE'VE GOT NOTHING BUT TIME.
Izzy says OKAY. SO...
The Teacher says SHH! DO YOU TWO
WANT MORE DETENTION?
Morgan says NO!
Izzy says YES!
Morgan says WHAT?
Izzy laughs.
Zipper gets to a fire hydrant and says WHY? WHY ISN'T THIS THING ON?
AH!
I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
Spark says ZIPPER, STOP.
I KNOW YOU'RE ANGRY,
BUT LET ME EXPLAIN.
D.O.G. says THAT HYDRANT'S
NOT TAKING YOU ANYWHERE.
GIVE THE TRUCE BACK, ZIPPER.
Pups say HE STOLE THE TRUCE?
BUT WHY?
CAT BURGLAR!
D.O.G. says I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED
IN YOU, LITTLE KITTEN.
[whimpers]
Spark says DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED
IN ZIPPER.
BE DISAPPOINTED IN ME.
IF I'D BEEN
MORE ACCEPTING OF HIM,
MAYBE HE WOULDN'T
HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCE.
I'M SORRY, ZIPPER.
I SHOULD HAVE BEEN
A BETTER FRIEND AND
STOOD UP FOR YOU.
I KNOW HOW IT FEELS
TO BE DIFFERENT.
Bite says HA HA HA!
LET ME GUESS,
YOU'RE A CAT IN DISGUISE?
Spark says NO.
I'M A STRAY.
Bite says WHAT?
Pom Pom says NO WAY!
Spark says THAT'S RIGHT.
I DON'T HAVE A HUMAN,
AND I BARELY HAVE A HOME.
BUT IF A PLACE LIKE THIS
CAN ACCEPT A DOG LIKE ME,
THEN DOGS LIKE US
CAN ACCEPT CATS LIKE ZIP.
RIGHT?
Bite says A STRAY AND A CAT LOVER?
TWO STRIKES!
D.O.G. says A STRAY IS JUST A STRAY
UNTIL THEY FIND A FAMILY
TO LOVE THEM.
REMEMBER? THERE IS A FAMILY
FOR EVERY DOG.
Zipper says THEY DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE A STRAY?
Spark says AND YOU DID.
THAT'S WHY I PRETENDED
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU.
BUT I REALLY AM SORRY,
ZIPPER.
I SHOULDN'T CARE
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK.
Zipper says HA. NOW YOU'RE SOUNDING
LIKE A CAT.
Spark says EASY THERE.
SO, WE COOL?
Zipper says WE COOL.
D.O.G. says THE TRUCE STANDS.
ZIPPER, TELL FELICIA
SHE'LL HAVE TO TRY HARDER
NEXT TIME.
Zipper says LATER, CANINES.
[chiming]
Zipper disappears through the fire hydrant. The necklace falls to the floor.
Whiz says SPARK, I...
I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU TOLD EVERYONE
YOU WERE A STRAY.
Spark says WE ARE WHO WE ARE, WHIZ.
I'M PROUD OF IT,
AND I'M PROUD OF MY FRIENDS.
ALL OF THEM.
Corazon pops up through the hydrant and says MEOW!
I AM NOW PART
OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CAT!
MEOW!
Spark says MOST OF THE TIME.
Felicia says SO WHERE'S THE TRUCE?
Zipper says I COULDN'T DO IT.
Felicia says NOT FOLLOWING ORDERS?
DOING YOUR OWN THING?
I SHOULD BE ANGRILY
HISSING AT YOU RIGHT NOW,
BUT WHAT YOU DID IS EXACTLY
THE KIND OF "NOT CARING."
WE TEACH HERE
AT KITTEN ACADEMY.
Zipper says SO I PASS?
Felicia says OH, ZIPPER.
WE'RE CATS.
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE GRADES HERE.
NOW GO BEFORE I DECIDE
TO SHARPEN MY CLAWS ON YOU.
Zipper says OKAY, OKAY! I'M GOING.
[intercom playing music]
Felicia picks up the phone and says BIG SURPRISE,
YOUR PLAN DIDN'T WORK.
Fitz says AH! WE WERE SO CLOSE!
IF THE TRUCE HAD FALLEN APART,
I COULD PROVE IT WAS TIME
FOR D-O-G TO RETIRE
AND FOR ME TO BE IN CHARGE.
Felicia says WHAT-EV-MEOW.
YOU STILL OWE ME
MY FISH HEADS, FITZ.
Fitz says YES, YES.
D.O.G. walks past the hallway and Fitz gasps.
Felicia says DON'T LET ME DOWN.
Fitz whispers YES. AND YOU'LL GET THEM.
AND ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,
D-O-G'S DAYS OF RULING
WILL BE OVER,
AND I'LL FINALLY BE IN CHARGE
OF THIS SCHOOL.
Felicia says YES. OKAY.
BORED WITH
THIS CONVERSATION NOW.
MEOW. I MEAN, CIAO.
Fitz says WHERE THE HECK AM I GOING
TO GET FIVE FISH HEADS?
Next, in the street, Harvey says AND SO, WE MEET AGAIN.
Corazon says HEY, HARVEY.
[record scratch sound]
Harvey says WAIT A SECOND.
CORAZON?
Corazon says NICE DAY TODAY.
Harvey says YEAH, IT-- IT IS.
Corazon says HEY, SO WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU ACTUALLY CATCH
THE LITTLE RED DOT?
Harvey says GOOD QUESTION.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE
HAS EVER CAUGHT THAT...
WAIT?
UM, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
Corazon says MEOW.
Harvey says SERIOUSLY?
A SCHOOL FOR KITTENS
Corazon says I KNOW, RIGHT?
Corazon barks at the mail carrier.
Harvey says WAIT! IS THAT...
THE MAILMAN?
[barks]
[hisses]
The Mail Carrier says WHOA. WHAT HAPPENED
TO CHASING EACH OTHER?
Corazon and Harvey say YOU ARE OUR ENEMY!
The Mail Carrier screams and runs away.
(music plays)
The end credits roll.
Executive Producer, TVO Kids.
The TVO Kids and Air Bud logos appear on a white screen.
A caption reads "Air Bud Entertainment Presents."
Harvey sits on a garbage can in the street. She is white and gray.
Corazon say CAT. THE ENEMY OF...
Harvey says DOG. THE ENEMY OF CAT.
(cowboy music plays)
Corazon says COOL RECAP, BRO.
Corazon barks at Harvey.
A Male Mail Carriers says BETTER HIM THAN ME.
[chuckles]
[pup academy whistle blowing]
Corazon gasps and says MY HYDRANT!
Harvey says WELL, I GUESS THAT MEANS
YOU HAVE TO RUN.
SMELL YOU LATER,
BONE BREATH!
CAT'S RULE!
Corazon says HEY! COME BACK HERE!
THIS ISN'T OVER!
WOO-HOO!
Corazon runs into a magical fire hydrant and appears in a classroom.
[indistinct chatter]
Reginald snores and murmurs. He is an old Basset Hound.
Corazon says WOW. THIS PROFESSOR
TOTALLY KNOWS HOW
TO CHILLAX.
Fitz walks in and says WELL, HOW'S EVERYTHING
GOING IN HERE?
UGH, REGINALD.
NOT AGAIN!
OKAY, CLASS.
TODAY'S LESSON IS ON ACCEPTANCE
AND COEXISTENCE.
Corazon says CO-E-WHATTITY-WHAT?
Fitz says COEXISTENCE.
SPECIFICALLY, THE ETERNAL
QUESTION OF HOW TO TOLERATE
THE INTOLERABLE...
CATS.
[all exclaiming]
Pups say BOO!
YEAH, BOO!
Fitz says YES, YES, YES, GROSS, I KNOW.
BUT OUR ARCHIVIST, REGINALD,
KEEPER OF ALL RECORDS AND
CHIEF HISTORIAN OF THE ACADEMY,
WILL EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE.
AHEM.
REGINALD!
Reginald wakes up and says UH, DOGGIE BISCUITS!
WHAT THE... OH, NO.
DOGS AND CATS
USED TO BE
NATURAL ENEMIES.
TO THE POINT
THAT IT BECAME A PHRASE.
YOU KNOW,
"FIGHTING LIKE CATS AND DOGS"?
Corazon chuckles and says HA HA!
CLASSIC.
Reginald continues THEN, HUMANS DECIDED
THAT BOTH DOGS
AND CATS WOULD MAKE
GREAT PETS, AND SO...
[snoring]
Whiz says HMM. I THOUGHT THE TEACHERS
WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE US SLEEPY.
Reginald says UGH! PORK CHOPS!
WHAT? OH!
AND SO,
AN AGREEMENT WAS MADE.
THAT WHEN DOG AND CAT...
BOO!...LIVED WITH HUMAN,
THERE WOULD BE PEACE.
A Pup says NEVER!
Rotty says CATS ARE ROTTY'S
FAVORITE CHEW TOY!
Corazon says CAT.
CAT, CAT, CAT, CAT, CAT.
Spark says CHILL. CHILL, CHILL,
CHILL, CHILL, CHILL.
Reginald says WE SIGNED A SACRED TRUCE
WITH THE CATS
AND SEALED IT IN THIS LOCKET
THAT WE KEEP SAFE,
DEEP IN THE ARCHIVES
OF OUR ACADEMY.
Fitz says SHORTER VERSION,
SEE A CAT, DON'T ATTACK.
Corazon says ATTACK?
Reginald says NO! CORAZON!
THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID.
Rotty says GO GET HIM!
BITE HIM GOOD!
Fitz says UGH!
Reginald says EVERY TIME!
PLEASE, DO NOT
ENCOURAGE HIM!
Corazon chews and bites a teddy cat.
Whiz says CATS ARE THE WORST.
Bite says YOU CALL THAT AN ATTACK?
TOUCHÉ!
Reginald says CORAZON!
Corazon says DID I PASS?
[class laughing]
The theme song plays.
Through magical portals disguised as fire hydrants, puppies appear at the Pup Academy entrance. They wear school uniforms.
At the academy, Charlie turns on a device that lights up the fire hydrants and activates the puppies' collars. Fast clips show them at school and playing. Morgan, Charlie and Izzy have fun with the pups and experience different adventures.
The song plays YEAH, HERE WE ARE, WE'RE
ALWAYS LEARNING SOMETHING NEW
THERE MAY BE UPS AND DOWNS
BUT WE'LL BE COMIN' THROUGH
SO PAY ATTENTION
WE'LL PICK UP A THING OR TWO
UH-OH-O-OH
I'LL BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
YOU GOT ME DAY AND NIGHT
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE
FOR YOU
AND I KNOW
YOU'RE THERE FOR ME TOO
AND WE GOT THAT BOND
FOR LIFE
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
I GOT YOU LIKE THAT.
Against the night sky, the name of the show appears. It reads "Pup Academy. Created by Anna McRoberts."
Fitz says UGH.
LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.
YOU SEE A CAT.
Corazon says RIGHT.
Fitz says YOU DON'T ATTACK.
Corazon says WHAT?
Fitz says YOU GREET THE CAT.
Corazon says AW...
Fitz says AND HOW DO WE GREET A CAT?
Whiz says WATCH AND LEARN.
Whiz sniff a new teddy cat sitting on a stool.
Fitz says OH!
WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS.
WE ARE GREETING A CAT,
NOT A DOG.
Corazon says BUT FIGHTING LIKE CATS
AND DOGS, IT'S IN OUR DNA!
Spark says I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THE BIG DEAL IS.
YOU LEAVE CATS ALONE,
THEY'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE.
[all gasp]
Corazon says WHAT?
Pup 1 says HMM?
Pup 2 says CAT LOVER!
Spark says I WOULDN'T SAY LOVE.
MAYBE LIKE?
TOLERATE? ACCEPT?
[whimpers]
Spark says ISN'T THAT WHAT
THIS CLASS IS ABOUT?
Corazon says YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
OR, AND HEAR ME OUT,
WE COULD
GET THE CAT!
[all clamoring]
Pup 3 says TAKE HIM DOWN, CORAZON!
Fitz says EH, ALWAYS THE
HARDEST CLASS OF THE YEAR.
Morgan and Izzy chat outside the academy.
Morgan says JUST FORGET ABOUT IT.
PLEASE.
Izzy says I FOLLOWED MY DOG
THROUGH A FIRE HYDRANT
TO THE MOST AMAZING PLACE
I'VE EVER SEEN,
AND YOU WANT ME TO JUST
FORGET ABOUT IT?
Morgan says I EXACTLY WANT YOU
TO FORGET ABOUT IT.
Izzy says HOW DO I GET BACK?
NO, WHEN CAN I GO BACK?
SORRY, THAT'S NOT POLITE.
MAY I GO BACK?
Morgan says TOO POLITE.
I DEMAND...
Morgan says CAN WE NOT DO THIS
OUT IN THE OPEN?
IMAGINE WHAT SOMEONE
WOULD THINK ABOUT ME
IF I SAID I WENT TO
A SCHOOL FOR DOGS, RUN BY DOGS?
Izzy says THEY'D THINK YOU'RE WEIRD.
Morgan says EXACTLY.
Izzy says OKAY. LET'S GO
SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN.
Morgan says I HAVE TO GET TO CLASS.
Izzy says WELL, WHAT IF
I MAKE THIS FACE?
[whimpering]
Morgan says CAN YOU NOT DO THAT?
I'M ALREADY THE NEW KID.
I DON'T NEED TO BE THE KID
WITH THE WEIRD FRIEND TOO.
Izzy says BUT I'M JUST AN
IDDY-BIDDY-WITTLE PUPPY DOG.
Morgan says ALL RIGHT, FINE.
THIS WAY.
Izzy says YES!
The torn teddy cat sits on D.O.G's desk.
D.O.G. says WELL, HERE WE ARE.
AGAIN.
LIKE EVERY YEAR.
Gruff sighs and says TEACHING PUPS
TO RESTRAIN
THEMSELVES AROUND CATS
IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGE.
D.O.G. says BUT THE TRUCE IS IMPORTANT.
UGH. I DO SO HATE
THIS PART OF THE JOB,
BUT IT DOES SEEM TO HELP
WITH THE LESSON.
[phone line ringing]
D.O.G. calls Felicia. She is an elegant white and brownish cat. She wears a black dotted bandana around her neck.
Sitting on a luxurious sofa, Felicia says KITTEN ACADEMY.
HEADMISTRESS FELICIA SPEAKING.
WHO IS THIS,
AND TELL ME WHY I SHOULD CARE?
D.O.G. says THIS IS THE HOTLINE
BETWEEN OUR TWO ACADEMIES,
HEADMISTRESS FELICIA.
YOU KNOW WHY I'M CALLING.
IT'S TIME FOR
THE ANNUAL STUDENT EXCHANGE.
Felicia says MMM. YES. THAT TIME OF YEAR.
WHERE YOU SEND US ONE OF YOUR
STUDENTS TO BLAH BLAH BLAH,
LEARN TO GET ALONG
WITH CATS, ET CETERA,
ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
D.O.G. says YES, VERY GOOD.
Felicia says AND IN THE SPIRIT OF OUR
LONG-STANDING TRUCE,
WE WILL SEND
OUR BEST KITTEN TOMORROW.
AND I TRUST YOU WILL SEND
YOUR BEST PUPPY?
Felicia UH, YES, YES.
WE'RE SENDING
THE BEST OF THE BEST.
Gruff says I THOUGHT WE WERE
SENDING CORAZON?
D.O.G. says SHH!
Felicia says OKAY, CIAO.
ZIPPER?
HERE, ZIPPER, ZIPPER,
ZIPPER, ZIPPER, ZIPPER!
[kissing sounds]
Zipper is a small tabby cat wearing a red tie.
Zipper says YOU KISSY NOISED,
HEADMISTRESS?
Felicia says YES. IT'S TIME.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE PLAN?
Zipper says YES, HEADMISTRESS FELICIA.
BUT ARE YOU SURE
WE SHOULD BE DOING THIS?
I MEAN, NOT ALL DOGS
ARE TERRIBLE.
Felicia says AH-TA-TA-TA.
WE HELPED YOU FIND YOUR
FOREVER FAMILY, ZIPPER.
YOU OWE ME.
YOU WERE A STRAY ONCE,
AND I THINK THOSE SKILLS
CAN FINALLY DESTROY THE TRUCE.
I CAN COUNT ON YOU, YES?
Zipper says YES.
Felicia says MARVELOUS.
BUT FIRST, YARN!
Zipper says ROWR!
YAY!
YARN IS SO FLUFFY
AND PUFFY!
[laughing]
The bell rings at the academy.
Morgan says OKAY. SO WHAT ELSE DO
YOU WANT TO KNOW?
Izzy says OKAY, SO, I KNOW THAT PUPS
GET IN THROUGH THE HYDRANTS,
BUT HOW?
HOW DID THEY GET IN?
I TRIED,
AND MY HEAD STILL HURTS.
Morgan says FIRST, THEY HEAR
A WHISTLE, RIGHT.
WHICH IS KINDA LIKE
OUR SCHOOL BELL, THEN THEY...
Schiffley says SPEAKING OF SCHOOL BELLS,
DID YOU NOT JUST HEAR OURS?
Morgan says UM, ACTUALLY,
NO, PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY.
WE MUST HAVE MISSED IT.
Izzy says YEAH, UH, WE WERE BUSY
GOING OVER OUR HOMEWORK.
Morgan says YEAH.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
Izzy says NOPE.
Schiffley says I HOPE NOT.
I'VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU, EDWARDS.
REMEMBER, I COULD PUT YOU
IN DETENTION LIKE THAT.
LIKE... LIKE THAT!
She tries to snap her fingers but cannot do it.
She continues THAT.
SERIOUSLY, WHAT AM I
NOT GETTING HERE?
Next, outside the school, Corazon says THIS IS SO LAME.
WHY DO I HAVE DO TO DO THIS?
WHY ME?
D.O.G. says DO YOU REMEMBER
THE CLASS THIS MORNING?
YOU KNOW,
THE ONE ABOUT CATS?
Corazon says CATS? WHERE?
MUST ATTACK!
Gruff says YES. I BELIEVE THAT
WAS YOUR REACTION EARLIER.
Corazon says AH. THAT'S WHY ME.
D.O.G. says WE WILL BREAK
THIS HABIT, CORAZON.
YOU WILL LEARN
TO COEXIST WITH CATS.
Corazon says OKAY. OKAY.
A SCHOOL FULL OF KITTENS,
I CAN TOTALLY HANDLE THIS.
HOW BAD CAN THIS BE?
Corazon jumps into a fire hydrant and appears in a sleek room full of kittens.
[cats meowing]
Corazon says THIS BAD. I GUESS.
Back at the Pup Academy, Fitz says OKAY, CLASS.
THIS IS OUR
EXCHANGE CAT, ZIPPER.
THIS IS NOT
A STUFFED TOY,
SO I TRUST YOU WILL ALL
BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR.
Zipper says WAIT. TRUST?
SO MY LIFE IS RIDING
ON THE HONOR SYSTEM?
Fitz says YES. PLEASE IGNORE THAT PILE
OF SHREDDED STUFFED CATS.
Zipper says PILE OF SHREDDED, WHAT?
UM, YOU KNOW,
I REALLY SHOULD BE GOING.
[nervous laugh]
WAIT.
SPARK?
Spark gasps.
In a memory, Zipper and two other kittens sit on a card box in the street.
Zipper says I'M SCARED, KITTIES.
WHERE ARE WE?
Tail says YOU'RE ON MY STREET NOW,
KITTENS.
[snarling]
Spark says PICK ON SOMEONE
YOUR OWN SIZE, TAIL.
Tail says UH, SPARK? I... I...
I WASN'T GONNA DO ANYTHING...
Spark says I SAID SCRAM!
[barks]
Tail says AH! OKAY! OKAY!
Tail runs away.
Zipper says WOW, THANKS.
PRETTY COOL FOR A DOG.
Spark says YEAH, WELL, WE'RE BOTH STRAYS,
AND WE ALL HAVE FOUR PAWS.
NAME'S SPARK.
Zipper says ZIPPER.
NICE TO MEET YOU, SPARK.
[echoes]
The memory ends.
Zipper says SPARK? IS THAT YOU?
Bite says HEY! THAT CAT KNOWS YOU.
Pup 4 says WHAT?
Zipper says WE MET ON THE STREET.
WHEN WE WERE BOTH STR...
Spark says NO! PIPE DOWN, CAT!
Fitz says OH, MY.
SPARK, ARE YOU SURE
THERE'S NOTHING
YOU'D LIKE
TO TELL THE CLASS?
Spark says I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM
BEFORE IN MY LIFE.
Zipper gasps and says MEOW-CH!
Pup 4 says WOO-HOO!
THANK GOODNESS IT'S RECESS!
I GOTTA GO!
Zipper says ARGH! WOULD IT KILL THEM TO HAVE
A LITTER BOX AROUND HERE?
Spark says PSST. ZIPPER.
Zipper says OH, NOW YOU REMEMBER ME.
Spark says JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE COOL.
I CAN'T LET ANYONE KNOW
THAT I'M FRIENDS...
Zipper says WITH A CAT?
Spark says WELL, YEAH.
BUT SPECIFICALLY, WITH YOU.
Zipper says IS THAT SUPPOSED TO
MAKE ME FEEL BETTER?
Spark says WOW. WHEN YOU PUT IT
THAT WAY, PROBABLY NOT.
WHAT I MEAN IS...
Zipper says I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
YOU'RE A SCAREDY-CAT.
Spark says WHAT?
[pups laughing]
Rotty says WHOA, ZING!
Fits clears his throat and says COME ALONG, YOU TWO.
TIME FOR CLASS.
Rotty says SMELL YOU LATER, SCAREDY-CAT!
Spark says ARGH!
[purring]
Corazon says OKAY, CORAZON.
SO FAR, SO GOOD.
KEEP YOUR PAWS TO YOURSELF,
AND DO NOT
CHEW ON THE CATS!
Felicia says NOT THAT I CARE,
BUT YOU'RE SUPPRESSING
YOUR AGGRESSION
QUITE NICELY, CORAZON.
Corazon says WELL, THERE'S MORE OF YOU
THAN THERE ARE OF ME.
PLUS, THE CLAWS.
SO MANY CLAWS.
Felicia says YES.
[hisses]
Corazon says SO, UM, THIS CLASS
FEELS LIKE THE LAST CLASS.
Felicia says THAT WAS "RELAX" CLASS.
THIS IS "CHILL" CLASS.
BIG DIFFERENCE.
THERE WE LEARNED TO RELAX.
HERE WE LEARN TO CHILL OUT.
Corazon says OH, SO YOU'RE CHILLAXING?
Felicia says CHILLAXING IS THE NEXT CLASS.
LOOK, CORAZON.
THERE'S A TIME FOR REST
AND A TIME FOR MORE REST,
BUT MOSTLY, THERE'S TIME FOR...
Corazon says PLAY?
Corazon chases his own tail.
Felicia says CLASSIC DOG.
THIS MAY TAKE SOME WORK.
Corazon laughs.
Izzy and Morgan attend a class.
A Male Teacher says BUDGETING HELPS YOU MAKE A PLAN
TO SPEND MONEY IN A WAY
THAT ENSURES
YOU'LL HAVE SOME LEFT OVER
FOR THE IMPORTANT
THINGS IN LIFE.
A GOOD RULE TO FOLLOW
IS THE 50-20-30 RULE.
Izzy says PSST!
Morgan says NOT NOW.
The Teacher says THAT'S 50 percent
OF YOUR INCOME ON...
Izzy says PSST!
A girl says SHH!
The Teacher says AS I WAS SAYING...
Izzy whispers ONE MORE QUESTION
ABOUT THAT PLACE
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.
Morgan whispers NOT NOW.
WE'RE LEARNING
ABOUT BUDGETING.
Izzy says COME ON, JUST ONE MORE...
The Teacher says IZZY! MORGAN!
THAT'S ENOUGH.
Morgan says SORRY.
The Teacher clears his throat and continues GAS BILL, THAT'S AN EXAMPLE
OF A VARIABLE COST.
VARIABLE COSTS CHANGE
FROM MONTH TO MONTH.
[phone vibrating]
Izzy calls Morgan but his puts his phone away.
The Teacher continues GROCERY BILL,
ELECTRIC BILL.
SO ON.
THE OTHER TYPE OF BILL
IS FIXED COST.
THAT STAYS THE SAME.
Izzy writes a note and says PSST! JUST TAKE IT!
Morgan says NO, NO, NO!
Izzy says PSST!
Morgan accepts the note.
The Teacher says MORGAN!
WHAT DO YOU GOT THERE?
Morgan says UM, PHONE BILLS?
The Teacher says IS THAT A NOTE?
VERY OLD SCHOOL.
BUT IF IT'S IMPORTANT
ENOUGH TO WRITE IN CLASS,
IT'S IMPORTANT ENOUGH
TO READ IN CLASS...
Izzy says I WROTE IT.
The Teacher says GIVE IT.
Izzy says I'LL READ IT.
The Teacher says HMM.
PROCEED.
Izzy says UH, IT SAYS, UH...
Morgan coughs.
Izzy says IT SAYS, UH...
She reads "HEY, MORGAN,
DO YOU THINK THIS NOTE
TASTES LIKE BLUEBERRIES"?
Izzy eats the note.
[class laughing]
The Teacher says HA HA HA.
EVERYBODY, SETTLE DOWN.
Izzy spits the note and says EH. UGH.
The Teacher says AND, IZZY?
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT NOTES
TASTE LIKE DETENTION.
WHICH IS WHERE
I'LL SEE YOU BOTH AFTER SCHOOL.
Gruff says OKAY, PUPS, IT'S TIME
FOR HOUSE TRAINING CLASS.
AS YOU KNOW, WE HELP OUR HUMANS
KEEP THEIR HOUSES CLEAN
BY DOING OUR BUSINESS OUTSIDE.
Zipper says WHOA. WAIT. OUTSIDE?
A white pup says WAIT A MINUTE,
YOU POOP INSIDE?
Zipper says OF COURSE.
[clamoring]
Gruff says SETTLE DOWN NOW.
Whiz says THAT IS PRETTY UNHYGIENIC.
YOU MUST NEED SO MANY BATHS.
Zipper says IN WATER?
I'VE NEVER HAD A BATH.
Pup 5 says EW!
GROSS!
Rotty says CATS ARE DISGUSTING!
Zipper says WHAT? NO.
IT'S NOT DISGUSTING,
WE LICK OURSELVES CLEAN!
Rotty says EW! DOUBLE GROSS!
Whiz says CATS ARE MORE THAN DISGUSTING!
Gruff says ENOUGH!
ZIPPER IS OUR SPECIAL GUEST,
SHOW SOME RESPECT.
Zipper says OKAY, SO MAYBE WE HAVE
A FEW DIFFERENCES.
BUT WE ALL HAVE FOUR PAWS,
RIGHT, SPARK?
Spark says MMM...
Zipper says BUT MAYBE THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
MAYBE IT NEVER WAS.
At the Kittens Acadamy, Corazon says SO, UH, I KNOW THIS
IS "CHILLAX" CLASS,
BUT DON'T YOU EVER
DO ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, FUN?
A brown cat with a collar says HEY, KITTIES.
SHOW HIM THE LASER POINTER.
Corazon says RED DOT!
RED DOT, RED DOT,
RED DOT!
UH, WHAT AM I LEARNING?
The brown cat says NOTHING.
YOU'RE JUST CHASING THE DOT.
Corazon says THIS IS AWESOME!
WHERE'D IT GO? THERE IT IS!
AH! IT MOVED!
THIS IS AMAZING!
IT'S LIKE CHASING YOUR TAIL,
BUT LESS PAINFUL
WHEN YOU CATCH IT.
The brown cat says IF YOU LIKE THAT,
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE
"MOUSE ON STRING."
Corazon says GO ON.
Later, Corazon says WHAT A DAY, GUYS.
WE'VE CHILLED, WE'VE RELAXED,
AND WE'VE CHILLAXED.
OH, I HAD IT WRONG.
YOU WELCOMED ME HERE.
YOU SHOWED ME
YOUR GLOWY DOT.
I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE TIMES
I CHASED YOU AROUND.
FROM NOW ON, I'M JUST
GONNA STICK TO THE MAILMAN.
The brown cat says YEAH.
MAILMEN ARE THE WORST.
Corazon and the kittens say MAILMEN ARE OUR MORTAL ENEMY!
Reginald sleeps in an office.
Zipper walks in and whispers THIS HAS GOTTA BE
THE PLACE.
THE TRUCE IS MINE.
A necklace with a shiny red stone hangs on a golden cat statue.
Spark says ZIPPER, YOU IN HERE?
ZIPPER?
OH, THERE YOU ARE.
LOOK, ZIPPER,
I CAME TO APOLOGIZE.
THERE'S THINGS ABOUT ME
THAT MY CLASSMATES DON'T KNOW,
AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
IT'S NOT WHO I AM.
I'M SORRY. ZIP?
Zipper says APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED.
NOW, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
Zipper wears the necklace.
[chiming]
Spark says WAIT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT?
Zipper says NOTHING I NEED TO TELL
SOME RANDO DOG
I APPARENTLY DON'T KNOW.
Spark says THAT REPRESENTS THE TRUCE
THAT BONDS CATS AND DOGS.
Zipper says YEAH?
WELL IT'S NOT WORKING,
AND IT'S ABOUT
TO BE DESTROYED.
[hissing]
Spark says DON'T DO THIS, ZIPPER!
Zipper says WHY NOT?
YOU SHOWED ME DOGS AND CATS
CAN'T TRUST EACH OTHER.
IT'S TIME TO GO BACK
TO THE WAY THINGS WERE.
Spark says WERE HOW?
Reginald wakes up and says AH!
THE WAY THINGS WERE
IN THE DAYS OF ANCIENT EGYPT.
WHERE DOGS WERE NOT
HUMAN'S BEST FRIENDS
AND CATS, CATS, CATS,
WERE WORSHIPED AS GODS.
Reginald falls asleep again.
Zipper says HE WAS HERE THE WHOLE TIME?
Spark says HE'S A HEAVY SLEEPER.
ZIPPER. GIVE ME THE TRUCE.
Zipper says YOU WANT THE TRUCE?
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUCE!
[hissing]
Spark says HEY!
SOMEBODY STOP THAT CAT!
Morgan whispers THANKS FOR NOT BLOWING
THE SECRET BACK THERE, IZZY.
Izzy whispers NO PROBLEM.
IT WAS MY FAULT ANYWAY.
SORRY FOR GETTING US DETENTION.
Morgan says SO THE PAPER?
DID IT ACTUALLY
TASTE LIKE BLUEBERRY?
Izzy chuckles and says NO!
UH, BUT IT WAS STILL BETTER
THAN THE SCHOOL'S MEATLOAF.
They laugh and high-five.
Izzy says I HAVE SO MANY
MORE QUESTIONS.
Morgan says WELL, FIRE AWAY.
WE'RE IN DETENTION,
WE'VE GOT NOTHING BUT TIME.
Izzy says OKAY. SO...
The Teacher says SHH! DO YOU TWO
WANT MORE DETENTION?
Morgan says NO!
Izzy says YES!
Morgan says WHAT?
Izzy laughs.
Zipper gets to a fire hydrant and says WHY? WHY ISN'T THIS THING ON?
AH!
I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
Spark says ZIPPER, STOP.
I KNOW YOU'RE ANGRY,
BUT LET ME EXPLAIN.
D.O.G. says THAT HYDRANT'S
NOT TAKING YOU ANYWHERE.
GIVE THE TRUCE BACK, ZIPPER.
Pups say HE STOLE THE TRUCE?
BUT WHY?
CAT BURGLAR!
D.O.G. says I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED
IN YOU, LITTLE KITTEN.
[whimpers]
Spark says DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED
IN ZIPPER.
BE DISAPPOINTED IN ME.
IF I'D BEEN
MORE ACCEPTING OF HIM,
MAYBE HE WOULDN'T
HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCE.
I'M SORRY, ZIPPER.
I SHOULD HAVE BEEN
A BETTER FRIEND AND
STOOD UP FOR YOU.
I KNOW HOW IT FEELS
TO BE DIFFERENT.
Bite says HA HA HA!
LET ME GUESS,
YOU'RE A CAT IN DISGUISE?
Spark says NO.
I'M A STRAY.
Bite says WHAT?
Pom Pom says NO WAY!
Spark says THAT'S RIGHT.
I DON'T HAVE A HUMAN,
AND I BARELY HAVE A HOME.
BUT IF A PLACE LIKE THIS
CAN ACCEPT A DOG LIKE ME,
THEN DOGS LIKE US
CAN ACCEPT CATS LIKE ZIP.
RIGHT?
Bite says A STRAY AND A CAT LOVER?
TWO STRIKES!
D.O.G. says A STRAY IS JUST A STRAY
UNTIL THEY FIND A FAMILY
TO LOVE THEM.
REMEMBER? THERE IS A FAMILY
FOR EVERY DOG.
Zipper says THEY DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE A STRAY?
Spark says AND YOU DID.
THAT'S WHY I PRETENDED
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU.
BUT I REALLY AM SORRY,
ZIPPER.
I SHOULDN'T CARE
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK.
Zipper says HA. NOW YOU'RE SOUNDING
LIKE A CAT.
Spark says EASY THERE.
SO, WE COOL?
Zipper says WE COOL.
D.O.G. says THE TRUCE STANDS.
ZIPPER, TELL FELICIA
SHE'LL HAVE TO TRY HARDER
NEXT TIME.
Zipper says LATER, CANINES.
[chiming]
Zipper disappears through the fire hydrant. The necklace falls to the floor.
Whiz says SPARK, I...
I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU TOLD EVERYONE
YOU WERE A STRAY.
Spark says WE ARE WHO WE ARE, WHIZ.
I'M PROUD OF IT,
AND I'M PROUD OF MY FRIENDS.
ALL OF THEM.
Corazon pops up through the hydrant and says MEOW!
I AM NOW PART
OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE CAT!
MEOW!
Spark says MOST OF THE TIME.
Felicia says SO WHERE'S THE TRUCE?
Zipper says I COULDN'T DO IT.
Felicia says NOT FOLLOWING ORDERS?
DOING YOUR OWN THING?
I SHOULD BE ANGRILY
HISSING AT YOU RIGHT NOW,
BUT WHAT YOU DID IS EXACTLY
THE KIND OF "NOT CARING."
WE TEACH HERE
AT KITTEN ACADEMY.
Zipper says SO I PASS?
Felicia says OH, ZIPPER.
WE'RE CATS.
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE GRADES HERE.
NOW GO BEFORE I DECIDE
TO SHARPEN MY CLAWS ON YOU.
Zipper says OKAY, OKAY! I'M GOING.
[intercom playing music]
Felicia picks up the phone and says BIG SURPRISE,
YOUR PLAN DIDN'T WORK.
Fitz says AH! WE WERE SO CLOSE!
IF THE TRUCE HAD FALLEN APART,
I COULD PROVE IT WAS TIME
FOR D-O-G TO RETIRE
AND FOR ME TO BE IN CHARGE.
Felicia says WHAT-EV-MEOW.
YOU STILL OWE ME
MY FISH HEADS, FITZ.
Fitz says YES, YES.
D.O.G. walks past the hallway and Fitz gasps.
Felicia says DON'T LET ME DOWN.
Fitz whispers YES. AND YOU'LL GET THEM.
AND ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,
D-O-G'S DAYS OF RULING
WILL BE OVER,
AND I'LL FINALLY BE IN CHARGE
OF THIS SCHOOL.
Felicia says YES. OKAY.
BORED WITH
THIS CONVERSATION NOW.
MEOW. I MEAN, CIAO.
Fitz says WHERE THE HECK AM I GOING
TO GET FIVE FISH HEADS?
Next, in the street, Harvey says AND SO, WE MEET AGAIN.
Corazon says HEY, HARVEY.
[record scratch sound]
Harvey says WAIT A SECOND.
CORAZON?
Corazon says NICE DAY TODAY.
Harvey says YEAH, IT-- IT IS.
Corazon says HEY, SO WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU ACTUALLY CATCH
THE LITTLE RED DOT?
Harvey says GOOD QUESTION.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE
HAS EVER CAUGHT THAT...
WAIT?
UM, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
Corazon says MEOW.
Harvey says SERIOUSLY?
A SCHOOL FOR KITTENS
Corazon says I KNOW, RIGHT?
Corazon barks at the mail carrier.
Harvey says WAIT! IS THAT...
THE MAILMAN?
[barks]
[hisses]
The Mail Carrier says WHOA. WHAT HAPPENED
TO CHASING EACH OTHER?
Corazon and Harvey say YOU ARE OUR ENEMY!
The Mail Carrier screams and runs away.
(music plays)
