whinny, ready for the day ♪

heartfelt way ♪

purring soft and low ♪

♪ A simple kind of comfort
that only animals know ♪

♪ Old rooster starts a crowing

♪ Herald up the morn

♪ In their presence
we find solace ♪

♪ In their eyes we're reborn

♪ Man's best friends,
they stand by us ♪

♪ Through the thick and thin

♪ With hooves or
paws or feathers ♪

♪ They're family, not just kin

♪ They remind us of the beauty

♪ Herald up, soft and gray

purr chases blues away ♪

hop, without a care ♪

♪ Their joy is simply
boundless, lifted by the air ♪

- [Paul] They told me
100% there was an opening

that he was a hundred
percent retiring.

- [Alice] I don't understand.

How can he just un-retire?

- [Paul] I don't know.

I mean, the guy's
been there for ages,

they probably let him
do whatever he wants.

- [Alice] I'm sorry, honey.

- Maybe I'm just
doomed to stay teaching

subtraction at grade school.

- You'll be a professor.

Stay positive.

At least the principal
said you would get a raise.

- I just hope it comes before
they come from the house.

- Well, let's not think
about that while we're away.

- Can't believe we had
to rent out our home.

- [Alice] It could be worse.

- [Paul] You're so right.

How come you're always right?

[gentle music]

Look at our son, he's
obsessed with that thing.

- All day, every day.

How does he not get car sick
staring at that little screen?

- Charlie, you've been
on that thing for hours.

Why don't you put the game down

and we can practice some math?

- Math, no way.

I almost passed level 83.

- There's that many levels?

- Are we there yet?

- We're-

We're close.

[engine revving]

- Welcome back.

- I really miss this place.
- Yeah.

And now that school is out,

you can spend all summer
here with me and the animals.

- [Stewart] Yay.

[birds chirping]

- Oh boy.

- Everything okay, Dad?

- Yeah, everything's fine.

- I swear, I like animals
better than people sometimes.

- Yeah.

Let's get ready to open, okay?

- Yeah, let's go.

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music]

Oh my.

Is this the rat that Jane
rescued from the street?

- Yep.

Little fellas
recovered perfectly.

But he's been here for weeks.

Guess nobody wants a pet rat.

- I told you, people
think rats are gross.

- Except for the snake owners.

- I don't like that
snakes eat rats.

- Well son, sometimes the
world isn't always fair.

- I don't wanna think about it.

- All right, well
get ready for later

because your cousin,
uncle, and aunts

are coming over for the summer.

What, you get to hang
out with Charlie?

- Charlie never plays
anything but video games.

- Sure does love
them video games.

- For sure.

- [Paul] I gotta make
sure I hit the right spot.

Oh, that's a car.

All right, well,
we're pulling in here.

- [Alice] I don't
know why it's yelling.

- [Paul] I don't
know, but someone

doesn't have a
seatbelt on maybe.

Let's get in here.

All right.

All right, looks
like we are here.

Everyone let's-
- Careful.

- Head out.
- Careful, Fred.

Come here.

Go boy.
- All right, Mom's got Fred.

Charlie, you wanna
grab your suitcase?

- [Alice] Oh.

Okay.

All right.

Come on Fred.

Careful baby.

Good boy.

Fred, I know it's a long ride.

- [Paul] All right,
Charlie, hop out.

- Come on Charlie.

- [Paul] All right.

Give you your stuff.

Get that.
- Thank you honey.

- The mat as well.
- Okay, yep.

- All right Charlie, why
don't you get your suitcase?

- Yeah, I think it's time

you take a break
from the game, okay?

- [Paul] All right, I'll
get everything else.

If y'all wanna go in,
I'll meet you in there.

- Come on Fred.

Come on.

All right, come on, come on.

Come on.

All right.

And let me get Fred off.

Oh, here we go.

Good boy.

Well, how is it to be back?

You haven't been
here in a while.

- Yeah, it was a while ago.

[gentle music]

- Charlie.

You stop playing for one second?

What's the matter?

We used to be buds, now you're
on that thing all the time.

- Now you wanna
spend time with me?

- I had to go back to
school, I did it for us.

- That was for you.

- Oh, look, if I didn't
stack all my classes,

it would take me three or
more years to graduate.

- Well, maybe it's better
than being gone all the time.

- Sorry.

Right well, your uncle
and cousin should
be here any minute.

- Great.

Can I play my game now?

- Look, instead of that game,

I think we should
practice some math.

- But it's summer,
school's over.

- Education is more
important than fun.

And besides learning
can be fun too.

- Says the math teacher.

- Soon to be math professor.

- And somebody needs to work
on their grades, young man.

You got a D in
math, that's awful.

- I got a C plus.

- Yeah, but you got
a D on your final.

That's unacceptable.

Yeah, so we're gonna
spend some time together,

whether you like it or not.

- I hate math.

- What's eight times eight?

- 64.

- Seven times nine?

- 72.

- Wrong.
- I hate math.

I said I don't
wanna do this now.

This trip is stupid.

I'm miss my friends.

And you can't make up be gone
for two years in one summer.

- Charlie.

- What?

- You haven't seen your
cousin in two years.

You guys used to be close.

Aren't you looking forward
to seeing him at all?

- He's weird.

He pees his bed.

And he doesn't play
any video games.

- So, that's a good thing.

- Oh, not the
peeing the bed part.

- It's not fair that I
have to leave my friends

for the whole summer.

- Hey.

Friends in life come and
go, but family is forever.

- I see you every day.

- I know.

Isn't that wonderful?

- Can I play my game now?

- Fine.

Go play.

[gentle music]

What are we gonna
do with that kid?

- Can we go see the animals?
- Yeah, let's do it.

[gentle music]
[footsteps plodding]

[animals chittering]
[gentle music]

- Hey Peter.

Hey Whitey.

[gentle music]

- [Alice] Gosh, there used to
be so many more animals here.

- I guess this petting zoo
didn't really quite take off.

- That's a shame.

I hope these guys get to stay.

Oh, you so handsome, Peter.

- You love the animals.

- How can you not
love these guys?

Look the little face.

- [Paul] Teeth.

- You remember they
spit on you last time.

- That was my fault.

- Oh, sure.

[gentle music]

- Look, I think
failed as parents

because child is
literally interested

in nothing but video games.

- Yeah.

- I mean, he didn't even
wanna say hi to these guys.

- I know.

He used to be more social.

You know, more outgoing.

Like real social, not
social media outgoing.

- I guess I didn't realize
how much my being away

would affect him.

- Well, it was just me and him
for dinner six nights a week.

I guess all he had
were his games.

- Was it really worth it then?

- You can be a professor now
and that's what you wanted.

- I feel like I should
get a D in parenting.

- Hey, C plus.
[both laughing]

[horn hooting]

Your brother's here.

- Let's go say hi.

- Come on, don't be nervous.

- Oh, thanks honey.

[footsteps plodding]

Charlie, Fred, come on.

[door thuds]

Charlie, come on.

[footsteps plodding]

All right.

Take your jacket in
case you need it.

Charlie, come on.

Here you are.

All right, let's go greet them.

[latch clicks]

[footsteps plodding]

[birds chirping]

[door thuds]

- Come on Stew, let's go say hi.

- Yeah.

- Brother. [chuckles]

You look-

- Older.

Fatter, more wrinkled.

- It's good to see you.

- It's been a long time.

- Too long.

- Well, let's not make it this
long again, what do you say?

- Sounds good.

I'm sorry.

It's been hard for me to see
people since she left us.

- I completely understand.

- Alice, it's so
good to see you.

Oh, I missed you guys.

- Thank you again so much for
letting us into your home.

I really hope we
aren't a burden.

- Your family, you're no burden.

I'm just glad to see you guys.

Good to see you Stew,
you're getting taller.

- Good to see you Uncle Paul.

I don't think you look wrinkled.

- Ah, thanks.

- Hey Charlie.

- Hey.

- Hey Charlie.

- Hi.

- Is everything okay?
- I'm fine.

- Charlie.

Be nice.

- Okay, okay.

Hey, I miss this guy.

- Aw!
- How you doing Fred?

I got a little snack for you.

Oh yeah, it's good.

- You keep those on you.

- What, I own a pet store.

Well, you guys hungry?
- Yes.

- Yeah, let's go eat something.

All right, come on Fred.

I'll get you something
you really like.

- He's had a long day.
- I'm sure.

[gentle music]

A C plus in math and
a D on your final?

Charlie.

What kind of math
teacher has a kid

that almost fails Math?

- Ask Charlie,

- It's because I hate math.

- Charlie, please not
at the dinner table.

- You know Charlie, if you
play video games all the time,

it won't get you
very far in life.

- Not true.

Some people make millions
of dollars live streaming.

- Really?
- I really shouldn't give him

as much screen time as I do.

- Kids these days
with cyber bullying.

It's a scary new world.

That's why I don't allow Stewart
to have a phone or tablet.

- You don't have a phone?

- You get used to it.

All my friends make
fun of me though.

- Yeah, but all your
friends are brain fried.

- We tried the whole
no social media thing,

but it didn't work.

Maybe I should take
his phone instead.

- Everybody in my
grade has a phone.

Even the grades below.

Besides if an emergency happens,

wouldn't you want me
to be able to call you?

- Yeah, but you don't call me.

You play video games instead
of doing your homework.

- How do you know?

- Anyways?

Hey Charlie, why don't you
come down to the shop tomorrow?

- Tomorrow?

- Yeah, it'll be fun.

Stewie can show you
all the new animals.

- Yeah, we have a rat now.

[cutlery jangling]

- A rat?

- What wrong with a rat.

- She doesn't like rats.

- I love all animals.

- Except for rats.

- No.

Well.

I just, I mean they're-

But they're creepy
looking and the tail.

Oh, I don't know why they
freak me out, they just do.

They freak me out.
- All right.

- They do, they
just freak me out.

- All right, calm down.

- But Charlie, you should go.

It's definitely better
than staying here

and playing that game.

- [Paul] You know what,
that's a great idea.

- Welcome to the shop.

It's cool, right?

- I guess.

- Come on Charlie, you
used to love this place.

- Whoa, what are those things?

- Those are hairless
guinea pigs.

Come here buddy.

Come on.

[guinea pigs chittering]

Look at that.

[guinea pigs chittering]

- So soft.

- Yeah.
- Squiggly.

- He's a she.

- How can you tell?

- There's ways.

- Now look at this guy.

- Oh my God, it's a rat.

- Hi.
- Hey buddy.

- No, no, you don't
have to pick the rat up.

In fact, please
don't, please don't.

- Calm down, okay?

- Can I hold him?

- No, I don't think
that's a good idea.

[lively music]

- Wow, what a face.

[Steve chuckling]
[lively music]

[animals chittering]

- Don't touch its tail.

- I like its tail, I like him.

- He likes you too.

[animals chittering]

- You know what, I
think my allergies

are starting to flare up.

- Are you okay?
- I need some fresh air.

- Well, it's almost 10.

We have brunch
with the Swansons.

- Yes, and we don't
wanna be late.

- All right, well
we're gonna head out.

Charlie, are you gonna be okay?

- Yeah Dad.

- All right, see
you in a few hours.

- Okay.

- Put him back.

Let's put you back now.

All right, come on,
let's put him back.

[animals chittering]

[doors thuds]

- You know, this must be a
record time without his tablet.

- Hmm, he really
loves those animals.

- Yeah, especially the rat.

- Of all things.

- I mean, whether it's a rat
or a Guinea pig or whatever.

I'm just glad that
he is interested

in something other
than video games.

- Who would've thought.

- Yeah well

- Let's go.
- Yeah.

[gentle music]

[car engine cranking]

- [Stewart] We gotta change
the bedding twice a day

otherwise it can get stinky.
- Okay.

You know Charlie, it's so
cool to see you not obsessed

with your video games.

- Obsessed, you
think I'm obsessed?

- I mean, you are constantly
playing something off.

- Yeah, but like what
else am I supposed to do

it's not like I have
any friends here.

- You're my friend.

- Whoa, who's that?

- Oh, that's Jane Williamson.

She was actually the only
who brought the rat in.

She found her on the sidewalk.

She lives next door to me.

She has a lot of animals.

- Well, maybe I can
like help her out.

- Do you know anything
about cat food?

- Cat food?

How hard can that be?

- Okay.

- Hi there, can I help you?

Hi Jane.

- Oh, you work here?

- Yeah, sorta.

I just started.

- Oh, okay then.

[footsteps plodding]

- Yes.

- Hi Jane, this is
my nephew Charlie.

He's new here, but he
can absolutely help.

- Almost definitely.

He knows a lot about everything.

Like everything.

- Do you now?

- Yeah.

I see you're looking
for cat food, right?

- That's right, I am.

- Well, I would really
recommend this bag here.

It's super healthy.

- Charlie, that's a dog food.

You picked the wrong one.

- Oh right.

I meant

this brand here

also makes really
great cat food.

- Are sure you know what you're-

- And guess what, it's on sale.

I mean, it was on sale.

- Yes, it's still on sale.

I just forgot to put
the sale sign back.

10% off today only.

- Okay, well I suppose we
can give it a try then.

Thanks, Charlie.

- 100% efficient.

Your cat will
definitely like it.

You did better than I thought.

- It's not over.

[footsteps plodding]

So Jane, right?

- That's me and you're Charlie?

- Yeah, well Charles is my name,

but my friends call me Charlie.

- Okay, Charlie.

- So you're Stewart's neighbor?

- Yeah, we moved to the ranch.

We wanted to be
closer to our horses.

- Horses, you have horses?

- We have 10 horses.

- 10 horses, holy moly,
that's a lot of horses.

So.

That's a big snake.

- Hey Jane.

- Hi Kevin.
- Whoa, that's a big snake.

- Who's this clown?

- Hi, I'm Charlie.

- Never seen you before?

- Yeah, he's staying with
me for the summer actually.

Yeah, he's my cousin though.

- Who asked you Stewart?

- I was answering
the question, okay?

- Shut up.

- That's a big
snake you got there?

- Yeah.

His name's Killer
and he bites too.

- He bites?

- Well, I gotta
go see you later.

- [All] Bye Jane.

- Hey, don't ever talk
to my girlfriend again.

- Okay, she's not
your girlfriend.

And also I'm very
scared of that, okay?

- Shut up Stewie, she will be.

Anyways, Killer
over here is hungry.

What do you got?

- We don't sell snake
food here actually.

Sorry, my mistake.

Oh dude.

- No?

- What's this then?

Looks like snake food to me.

Oh yeah.

- Okay, that is not snake food.

- Oh yeah, Killer
wants to eat this rat.

- That's not snake.
- Looks yummy, right?

- Hi Kevin.

- Oh, hey Steve.

Did you gain weight?

You look fatter.

- The holidays, always gets me.

- Hair looks a
little thinner too.

- Well, your snake
sure has grown

since the last time I saw you.

- Oh yeah, I've been feeding
him as much as possible.

I just love watching him eat.

- Well, it's great to see
you taking such good care of

Killer, is it?

- Killer, that's right,
because he loves to kill.

Anyways.

How much for the rat?

- No, no, no, no, no.

Dad, you cannot
sell him the rat.

- Yeah, Kevin, I'm sorry.

The rat is not snake food.

- Well what if I
want him as a pet?

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

I won't feed him to Killer.

- Well, in that case he's $30.

- That's it?

I'll take him.

- No wait, I'll take him.

- You want the rat as your pet?

- Yep, and-
- You got $30?

- Not on me, but I properly
take care of the rat

and pay for the rat too, yeah.

- Okay.

- That's not fair.

I have the money and I
wanted the rat first.

- I'm sure Pet Plus has
plenty of rats for Killer.

- But I wanted that rat.

- Well, you can't have him.

- You're gonna pay
for this Charlie.

[footsteps plodding]

- I couldn't let
him have this guy

use it as food
for his pet snake.

- You did the right thing.

I completely understand.

- I'll take really
good care of him

and I'll properly pay for it.

- You don't worry
about the money.

It's a much bigger problem
than $30 can solve.

What I'm worried about is

how do you plan on explaining
this to your mother?

Oh, speaking of which.

[birds chirping]

Welcome back.
- Hey guys.

- How was brunch?

- Fine, what'd I miss?

- Oh, nothing.

Just business as usual.

- Okay.

Why do you all look
like there's something

you're not telling me?

- I do not know what
you're talking about.

- We just wanted to
say that we love you.

- Yeah.

[gentle music]

[gentle music]

- If my mom finds out
there's a rat here,

she's going to kill me.

- Boy, does she not like rats.

- So what do we call him?

- You want to name the rat?

- Well, it's my pet so yeah.

I think he needs a name.

Can't just call
it Rat or Mr. Rat.

Hmm, they sure squeaks a lot.

- That's it, Squeaky.

From now on your
name is Squeaky.

Full name, Sir Squeaky
the Squeakster.

I love you Squeaky.

[footsteps plodding]

[Alice knocks]

- [Alice] Boys, lunch.

- One second, Mom.

Where's it, where is he?

He's gone.

- Wait, which way to look?

- [Charlie] No,
no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Anywhere?
- Oh no.

[dramatic music]

Oh God, where's he?

Where's it, where's he?

Ah, we have to find him.

[dramatic music]

- Are you okay, did
you hit your head?

- I'm fine.

- What is going on in here?

It looks like a
tornado swept through.

- It was Fred.

He just started running
around doing zoomies

and knocking things over.

- Maybe Fred needs to go out.

- Yes, definitely.

I'll take him out now.

- Good.

And lunch.

[Squeaky squeaks]

What's that sound?

- You know I like playing
with the dog toys too.

[toy squeaks]

- Okay.

Wait a minute, I.

What are you boys up to?

- Nothing!
- Nothing at all.

- Ah, yeah, you're
up to something.

I just don't know what
it is, but I'll find out.

- Oh.

- Good job.

Good boy, Brownie.

Come on.

Gotta keep going.

- So, hi Jane.

- Oh Charlie, hi.

- You really do live close.
- Yeah.

Are you staying with Stewart?

- For the summer, yeah.

- Oh, so you're here
for the whole summer?

- Sure am.

So like maybe we can like
hang out or something?

- Yeah, maybe we can.

- Do you like video games?

- Not really.

I like animals.

- Oh yeah.

I like your horse.

- Thanks, his name's Brownie.

- Is that your dog?

- Sure is, that's Fred.

- [Jane] Oh, he is so cute.

- [Charlie] He's 13.

- He looks great for 13.

- So you were the one
who rescued Squeaky?

- Squeaky?

- Oh, sorry, the
rat at the store.

I named him Squeaky.

- You did, that's so cute.

Yeah, poor little guy
was on the sidewalk.

Really sick.

I think he might have
ingested some poison.

- Oh no.
- Yeah.

Took some time but thanks
to Steve, we healed him up.

Certainly wasn't gonna
bring him to Pet Plus.

That big old
corporation chain store

thinks they can just come
in and run Steve out.

Also, if I took him
there, he'd be snake food.

- You really do care
about all animals.

- Yeah.

More than people.

Well, for the most part.

Uh-oh.

- Hey.

Hey man.

Told you not to talk
to my girlfriend.

- I'm not your
girlfriend, Kevin.

- Not yet.

Is that your dog?

- Yeah, that's my dog.

- He looks like a girl's dog.

My dog is way bigger.

- I like Fred.
- Oh yeah.

Well I bet my dog
could beat up your dog.

- Well, I'm not letting you
anywhere near Fred then.

- Is that right?
- Yeah.

- Why don't you
take a hike Charlie?

- What is your problem?

- I don't like you,
that's your problem.

- Kevin you jerk,
get outta here.

- You loser.

- Get outta here, I said.

- Whatever, see you soon, Jane.

- I'm sorry, he can
be not a nice person.

- It's all right, I'm fine.

I'm okay, Fred.

- I'm really sorry again.

My Mom and his
Mom work together,

so I'm forced to see
him like all the time.

- That sounds awful.

- It really is.

- Well, I gotta go.

I gotta take Brownie in.

- Well, see you later?

- I guess so.
- Let's go, Fred.

[gentle music]

[gentle music]

- I appreciate the bonus and
I hate to sound ungrateful,

but I was really
counting on that raise.

Yes, of course I know it
was because I was gonna get

the position at the
university, but.

I see.

No.

No, please don't do that.

Keep me on, let
me keep this job.

You know how much
I need it, right?

Now more than ever.

Okay.

Thank you.

I accept.

[gentle music]

No raise and I
almost lost my job.

Just a teeny tiny bonus.

Now there's no way we're gonna
pay off that debt in time.

[gentle music]

- I'm sorry.

- You know what?

Maybe I should be a lawyer.

Is it too late?

- You just spent two years
getting your master's

in advanced mathematics.

Aren't there any colleges
looking for a great professor?

- Honey, there's only
four schools nearby

and I've checked
with all of them.

I can inquire about
the community college,

but that's an hour
commute each way.

- It doesn't sound
like it's worth it.

- Not with the price of gas.

[gentle music]

- [sighs] You know, maybe
I should go back to work,

and help with the bills.

Just something part-time.

- No, no.

No, you've done enough with the
house, Charlie, your mother.

I'll figure something out.

- Okay, okay.

- So glad I have you.

I love you.

- I love you so much.

Just have faith.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Stay positive.

It's all gonna be all right.

[gentle music continues]

- Hey is, hey is
everything okay?

- Yes, sweetie.

- Dad didn't get
the new job, did he?

- No. No, I did not.

Not something for
you to worry about.

It's an adult problem.

- I'm so sorry for you, dad.

- It's okay, we'll
figure this out.

- Do you wanna
practice some math now?

- No, it's okay.

Not now, son.

- Squeaky, where'd you go?

Where are you?

All right, well, I have
to go to the bathroom.

Stay!

[dramatic music]

- Squeaky!

[rat squealing]
[dramatic music]

- What's going on?
- Nothing.

- What's behind your back?

- Nothing.

- Let me see.

- No, it's a surprise.

- What do you mean surprise?

- Nothing, this
is a kid problem.

You worry about
the adult problem,

and we worry about
the kid problem.

- What problem?
- Nothing. No problem.

All good.

- All good, okay?

Space me.

- Something's up.

[dramatic music continues]

- So what do we do now?

- I don't know.

[door knocking]

- One second.

- Hey, that was a close call.

Where is he?

- Here.
- Oh.

You know, if your
mother finds out

there's a rat in the house,

you're gonna get in
some serious trouble.

- I know, but I didn't
know what else to do,

and I didn't want Kevin's
snake to gobble Squeaky up.

- I know, you're a
real animal lover.

I remember when I was like that.

- Wait, you're not an
animal lover anymore?

- Oh, I am.

I was the biggest.

That's why I opened up the
pet store and the petting zoo,

which didn't really
turn out so well.

I wanted to be around
animals all the time.

But when you see people
return rabbits after Easter,

and people who can't even
take care of a goldfish

year after year, it's sad.

I guess I lost a little
bit of that passion.

But seeing you with
this little guy

reminds me of how I used to be.

So if he's gonna stay the night,

you're gonna at
least need these.

- Thanks.
- Make sure he eats

and drinks, and
don't thank me yet,

because you're gonna need to
bring him back in the morning

for good.

- Really? Can't I keep him?

- I wish you could,
but you know you can't.

Your mother would kill me.

- You are right. She would.

But it's okay. I understand.

- Sorry pal, but at
least you get tonight

to hang out with him.

[Squeaky squeaking]

- I'm sorry I don't get
to keep you Squeaky.

- I need another loan.

No, I know that I've
borrowed a lot of money,

but I need another loan.

I'm not gonna have a house.

I, mm-hm, yeah,

I just. Please.

Yeah, I know that my
credit score is dropping

because I'm not able
to pay back the loans.

But I promise I will find a way.

Please. I.

Yeah, I understand.

Yeah. Okay.

If there's anything you can
do, please just call me back.

Okay. Bye.

[gentle music]

[footsteps clomping]

- Honey.

- [Paul] Hmm?

- I'm sorry we had to spend
all that money to help my mom.

- It's okay.

Your mom is important.

It was worth it.

We'll figure this out.

- It's all gonna be okay, yeah?

- It's gonna be just fine.

- I'm gonna go to the store

and I'm gonna get stuff
to make meatloaf, okay?

- I am not really hungry.

- You will be by tonight.

I love you.

- I love you too.
- Okay.

[gentle music continues]

[birds chirping]

- I am sure gonna miss
hanging out with this guy.

- You'll be able
to see him still.

- I have an idea.
- What?

- This rat, Squeaky,
he's not just normal rat.

You know what I mean?

- What?

- Look at him. He's special.

He's a superstar, and I want
the world to know about it.

- How?

- Think about it.

Your dad, the pet
store, his petting zoo,

which didn't work out and
my dad not getting a raise.

They need our help.

- How? What are you getting at?

- Squeaky will be same that
people rush to buy from there.

- Hmm, are you joking?

- No. Just record me.

Press the red button to start.

- Okay. You ready?

- Say hello to Squeaky.

Say hi, Squeaky.

He really does squeak.

Squeaky here is a great rat.

Do you like living here?

[Squeaky squeaking]
Aw.

- Can you actually record me?

I wanna show you something.

Okay.

So what's up guys?

This is our first video.

We want this rat to be famous

because we wanted to
help our family out,

and we're gonna show a
little bit of cute things

about this rat, so
it's a brown rat.

It's very cute.

My father has a pet store.

There's dogs, there's fishes.

I'd recommend you, if you're
close to the pet store.

- I'm gonna pose this
'cause it's funny and cute.

Good job, cuz.
- Thanks.

Where you going, rat?

- Please. I wish.

Please, please let
this video go viral.

Let this help our family out.

- That's really cool
if you wanted to help.

- Of course.

I am sure gonna miss
hanging out with this guy.

- You know where to find him.

- Oh, I'll be there.

And don't worry, I won't
let any snake eat you,

or you, Fred.

[dramatic music]

[gentle music]

- I am sorry, Squeaky.

[Squeaky squeaking]

No, don't do that. Come on.

I know. I know.

I'm sorry I can't
let you keep him.

I know how attached you got.

- It's okay, but I understand,
my mom would kill me.

[iPad beeping]
- Somebody's popular.

- This is, this is crazy.

This, my wish came true.

My wish came true.
This is crazy.

You gotta see this
and it's crazy.

Look at this.
- What?

Oh, this video
got 300,000 views.

This is amazing.

Look at the comments,
"We love Squeaky.

Those squeaks are so cute.

I want to keep him."

This is incredible, it
just goes on and on.

"I need more
Squeaky in my life."

Hold on. Whoa.

This could be big.

This could be huge.

This could be exactly what I
need to keep the shop open.

Thank you!

- You are so welcome.

- You need to create
Squeaky his own page.

Squeaky is gonna be
famous, a superstar.

Squeaky's gonna save the store.

Take that Pet Plus. [laughs]

They love him, And you, Charlie.

You're a genius, Charlie.

You too, son. Geniuses. [laughs]

- Oh yeah!

- We have to create
more Squeaky content.

- Wait a second.

Didn't you just
say the other night

that social media is bad?

- I did say that. Interesting.

Well, turns out I was maybe
just a little bit too rigid.

Maybe there can be some
good from all of this.

- Wait, does that mean
you'll let me get a phone

and go on social media?

- Now, Hold on. Wait.

I don't know.

Maybe, just create
Squeaky his own page.

- Okay.
- Yeah, you have to.

[gentle music continues]

- Hey everyone, this
is my pet rat, Squeaky.

Say hi.

Any viewers yet?

- Zero.

Wait a second, 14 viewers.

- 14 people are actually
watching this right now.

- Oh, there's 26 people.

- Really?
- Wow. Thank you all.

How many now?

- 31 people are watching now.

- Wow. Wow, wow!

- Say something other
than wow, you're life.

- All right. I'm waiting.

- Come on. You got this.

- Hello everyone, I'm Charlie,

and this is my pet rat, Squeaky.

This channel is about
all things animals

and all things squeaky.

We're here at the world's
famous Steve's Pet Store.

So for all of you out there,
come right down and say hi.

For those who can't make it,
order online, free shipping.

What's that, Squeaky?
You want a treat?

Squeaky wants a treat.

Let's watch this little guy eat.

- Wow. Incredible.

So many people watching.

It's just a rat eating.

- You see, rats are adorable.

Nothing to be afraid
of, not even the tail.

My mother disagree, but that's
a story for another time.

See ya.
- 500 viewers!

- Your change is $3 seven cents.

- Thank you. Wait a second.

Is this the Steve's Pet
Shop, the trending one?

- This is Steve's.
Are we trending?

- Yeah, with the, that
that that rat video.

My nephew kept watching that
thing over and over again.

Squeaky or something
like that, right?

- Yeah, yeah. That's us.

You saw it online?

- Yeah, who didn't?

That video must have like
a million views already.

That is so adorable,
the cute little rat.

Oh, congratulations.

- Thank you.

[gentle music continues]

- He's right, the video
that we made last night

has over a million views.

- Let me see.

1,000 comments.

- And look, the page has
over 10,000 subscribers.

- Who would've thought that
a rat video would go viral?

- Well, dad, there's
273 online orders.

- That's gotta be
some kind of mistake.

That's more than
we've had like ever.

- No, dad, it's real, look.

- Oh. Oh, thank you.

Thank you universe! Yes.

Yes, yes. We did it. We did it.

- Dancing, huh?

Guess you're happy 'cause
your rat is famous now.

- Yep, he sure is.

- I'll give you $50 for him.

- No way.
- Okay, fine.

I'll even throw on my bike.

- Seriously?

Not for a million dollars.

- Fine, maybe I'll
just go take him.

- No way!

- Nobody is taking Squeaky.

Now, Kevin, what
can I help you with?

- You can help me with
absolutely nothing.

- Okay, then what are
you still doing here?

- I'll see you later, Charlie.

[gentle music continues]

- What is that dude's problem?

- He likes Jane.

- More specifically he thinks
Jane is his girlfriend.

- Is she?

- No! He's just delusional.

- Oh, I get it.

You like her too.

- He totally does, he
wants to marry her.

He like loves her.

- Well, now that you have a
famous rat that just might help.

She's quite the animal activist.

- Certainly can't hurt.

- It will definitely add
some cool points for you.

[gentle music continues]

- Wanna make another video?

- Oh yeah. And another one.

And another one.

Oh, I'm so glad you're
here with us, Charlie.

Yes.

- I got it. I got it.

We sell my car.

Do we really need two cars?

That could get us
an extra three,

four months in the house?

- Yeah, but how are
you gonna get around

to care of your mother?

- You could drop me off on
those mornings and pick me up.

- That's a lot of extra driving.

I mean, that's a big
adjustment, right?

- Either that or the
one bathroom apartment.

- I can get up
early, no problem.

I mean, who needs sleep anyways?

[doorbell ringing]

- Who's that?

- I don't know.

Hi, can I help you?

- Hi, I know this might
sound a little crazy.

I just landed an hour
ago from New York,

so I'm a little bit frazzled,

but nobody was
responding online.

We sent messages as soon
as the video went viral.

- Excuse me?

- Sorry, I'm just a
little bit excited.

I work for Social PR.

We work with the top
influencers around the world.

We like to keep an eye out
for when something pops

that we can be first.

Nobody else has
reached out yet, right?

- Reached out about what?

- Is this the right address?

- What is this about?

- The rat video.

- Rat. Oh no.

We have nothing to do with rats.

- That's so weird.

I mean, they're normally not
wrong about this sort of thing.

- Wow, what is that?

- That's the video
I'm talking about.

- That's Charlie, our son.

- So I am at the right address.

- Show us the video.

[gentle music continues]

- There's a rat here.

Oh my God, it's not
still here, is it?

Is it still here?
- Don't worry.

- I don't think you
understand what this means.

- What does it mean?

- Can I come in and
explain this to you?

- Sure. Yeah.

Don't worry.
- I can't deal with rats.

- I know.
[door clicking]

- Hey, Steve here.

Rats can in fact swim.

They are excellent swimmers
and they can tread water

for up to three days straight.

- Whoa.
- Yeah.

And another interesting
fact about rats

is that they can hold
their breath underwater

for up to three minutes.

- Wow, I didn't know that.

- Well, now you do.

Thanks for tuning in and
subscribe for more fun

and educational content.

Thanks, Charlie. Thanks Stewie.

- Thanks Uncle Steve.

Okay, let's do a closeup on him.

Say bye Squeaky.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Okay.

- That was so fun.

I love the
educational angle too.

We can really teach these
people about the animals.

- Yeah.
- Thank you so much, Charlie.

This really has
reinvigorated me.

- You're so welcome.

- This little guy is the
man, or the rat. [laughs]

[gentle music]

- Oh, well, look who it is,

- Charlie.

- Oh, hi Jane.

- I saw that you and
Squeaky are trending.

That's so cool.

There he is.

Good to see you again.

I remember when I
first brought him in.

Who would've imagined?

- Thank you for doing that.

That was really cool of you
for helping an injured rat.

- I couldn't help myself.

It's so sad that rats sure
do get a bad reputation.

Can I hold him?

- [Stewart] Yeah, of course.

Oh, it's going through you.

- Take a photo.

- Okay.

[gentle music continues]

Squeaky has been
doing good these days.

- Thank you.
- Some acting, whatever.

Oh.
- So cool that he's

like famous.
- I know.

- Funny, because my
mom saw the video

and totally freaked out.

- My mom would too.

- What is it with them?

- I don't know, but this
little guy's the best.

- I would love to surprise
my mother with him

and just freak her out.

Are you gonna be
around this evening?

- This evening?

- Yeah, could you bring
him over to my house?

- Definitely.

- My mom's gonna go
crazy when she sees him.

It's gonna be hilarious.

You should film it.

- Yeah, definitely.
That would be hilarious.

- Thanks Charlie.

- [Stewart] Bye Jane.

- Bye Jane.

- Looks like Squeaky's a better
wing man than you, Stewie.

- What's a wing man?

- Oh, nothing.

- You better tell me
what's a wing man.

- It's quite simple actually.

The more views, the
higher the subscribers,

the more the
endorsements are worth.

And believe it or not, the
animals do higher numbers

than just about
any of our clients.

Our agency represents
a sloth, an otter,

a few dogs and cats
and a tiny pig.

And their numbers are higher
than any of our human clients.

- [Paul] Fred, why didn't you
tell me any of this before?

- Well, the great news is
the number that your son,

Charlie and Squeaky are
doing are astronomical.

Our agency would like
to represent you.

In fact, we already
have a tentative offer

from one of the leading
producers of pet food.

- Wow.

- Easy money.

They pay you to make a
post promoting their brand.

- How much?
- Well, in your case,

since the page is new,

but the subscribers
are going quickly,

I would say 10,
$15,000 for a post.

But if the numbers keep up
the way they've been going,

in a week, that could
go up to 20 or 25,000.

- $25,000 for one post?

- Well, we take 15%, of course.

- I'm, yes. That's amazing.

- Oh my God, I haven't seen
you this happy since I,

I can't even remember when.

- Where do we sign?

[traffic roaring]

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

[door clicking]

[Squeaky squealing]

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music continues]

- Somebody just commented,

asking if there's any Squeaky
merchandise available.

We're gonna sell hats
and T-shirts and hoodies.

Are you guys filming some
Squeaky content right now?

- What?

- Where's Charlie?

Is he with Squeaky?

- Charlie's in the bathroom.

- With Squeaky?

- No.

- Charlie, do you have Squeaky?

- What?

- [Steve] Where is he?

- I don't know.

- Oh, this can't be
happening right now.

Did one of you leave this open?

- No, I don't think so.

I don't, I do not
think so at all.

- Did you?
- No!

- No, no, no.
- Okay. It doesn't matter.

We just have to find
Squeaky, start looking.

- Yes, yes, yes.
- Make a team effort.

- Yes, yes, yes.
- All right, let's go.

Let's start working.

- So here's a half weight.
- Squeaky.

- Oh, Squeaky!

- [Steve] Squeaky.

Oh, this can't be happening.

- I'm gonna look over here.

Because the strangest
of things just happened.

- What happened?

- Some lady came to
house out of the blue

from some social media agency

because of some videos
that Charlie posted.

Look, the point is, that
rat is famous, very famous.

Like it's gone viral, and
they're willing to pay us money.

Easy money that would
literally save us.

- You and me both, brother.

I know. I'm so sorry.

I don't know how this
could have happened.

- Look, this is awful,
but that rat is gone.

We should just get another rat.

Any size, they all
look the same, right?

- I don't know, they
really bonded with Squeaky.

- But maybe they can bond
with Squeaky version two.

I mean, maybe they won't
even notice the difference.

- Seems a little dishonest.

- Maybe, but think about the
money, how it could help us.

- Well, come on, who's
gonna know the difference?

- That's if I could
find another rat.

- Well, why couldn't
you find another rat?

Don't you own a pet store?

- It's past five,
Pets Plus is closed,

which means I'll have
to go all the way down

to the rodent rescue,
which is not a short drive.

And hope they have something.

- Let's hope they do.

In the meantime, I'm
gonna find one as well.

- Where?

- Don't you always have
rats running around

in the bird feed?

- Yeah, rats love bird feed.

- Do you have any more birds?

- Yeah, we have the peacock.

- Perfect.

We're gonna go find a rat.

[Alice sighing]
[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

Hi peacock.

See any rats around here?

You're no help.

Hi Peter. Hi Whitey.

See any rats around here?

You're no help either.

- This is insane.

- I need a rat. We need a rat.

- Oh! Rat!

Oh my God.

- He looks like Squeaky.

- That thing doesn't look
like Squeaky, it's giant.

- It's got the stripe.

The stripe. Just calm down.

Come here Mr. Rat.

Come right here into my hands.

Come here. Right here.

Can you do me this one
favor and come right here

into my hands?

Good boy.
- Oh no!

- You scared it away.

- I'm sorry you made
a noise, it scared me.

- I almost had him.

- I'm sorry.

[dramatic music continues]

What is that?

You smell like bird poop.

- [Paul] I hope
Steve came through.

[hooves clomping]

[gentle music]

- All right, Killer.

Hope you're hungry.

[dramatic music]

Take a look at your
next meal here.

Looks yummy, right?

- Kevin, get your butt out here.

- Fine.

Saved by the bell rat.

Don't go anywhere.

I'll be right back.

[dramatic music]

- Do you really think
this is a good idea?

- What else can we do?

We've looked everywhere.

Somebody has had
to have seen it.

- Yeah, but it's a rat.

- It's not just a
rat, it's Squeaky.

And we need to find him.

Hey guys.

- Hi.

- Squeaky's missing.

- Yeah, somebody left
his cage unlocked.

- I don't think I did.

I don't know.

- What if you didn't?

- What do you mean?

- What if someone took squeaky?

Like when you weren't looking?

- Hm.

You think someone kidnapped
or rather rat nap Squeaky?

- That bully of a kid, Kevin.

I bet you anything it was him.

He rat napped Squeaky.

- Exactly what I'm thinking.

He's crazy.

- His snake, oh no.

We have to rescue you
squeaky before he gets eaten.

- I know where he lives

and I know exactly
where snake is.

- Come on.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Put it, put it, let's go.

[door thuds]

[footsteps plodding]

- Missing rat.

[footsteps plodding]

[Lindsey knocking]

- That was quick.

- In this business timing
and speed is everything.

When something pops,
you gotta be ready.

- I completely understand.

- But what is all this about?

- Oh, that's actually part
of a video we're making.

Yes, we are pretending
that Squeaky went missing.

And then of course we find him
and it's a big celebration.

- Bingo.

- Already being creative with
the storyline, I like it.

- Yeah, she came
up with that one.

- I love it, well then let's
get this contract signed.

We already have
our first sponsor.

Rat Snax.

- Fantastic.

- I hope you're ready
for your lives to change.

- We sure are.

- Well then let's
get this deal inked

so we can shoot
some content today.

Are Charlie and Squeaky home?

- Oh, they will be.

They're just finishing up
that missing rat scene,

but they'll be back
very soon, yeah.

Please come right in.

Yes, yeah.

You want some
coffee or some tea?

- Coffee sounds great.

- Okay.

[lively music]

[birds chirping]

- His bedroom's right over
there and there's a window.

It's usually open a crack.

- All right, let's
keep moving quietly.

- Roger that.

Well what, that's what they say.

[dramatic music]

[latch clicks]

- Sorry about that Killer.

Now, where were we?

- All right.

- No, what are we going to do?

- I got an idea.

I'll go knock on the
door and distract him.

And when he leaves his room,
you rush in and save Squeaky.

- What if he catches
me in his room?

- No rush, no reward.

You got this.

[dramatic music]

[Jane knocks]

- You were about to be dinner.

- Kevin, get the door.
- All right, I got it.

[dramatic music]

- Open the doors.

- Oh.

Jane, hey.

What are you doing here?

- I just wanted to talk to
you without Charlie there.

- Oh yeah.

Ah, Charlie's such a loser.

- Yeah, right?

- You're gonna go get Squeaky.

- Okay?

- Do it fast.

- Please be in the box.

- I wanted to know
more about your dog.

You said you have a big dog.

- You wanna go meet
him, I can go get him.

- Hold on.

Not yet.

It's really nice outside, right?

- I mean, I suppose
the weather's okay.

- Sorry, you're not
eating Squeaky today.

- Wait a second.

What's really going on here?

- Nothing.

- What was that?
- What?

I didn't hear anything.

- Liar, what's going on?

[dramatic music]

- Okay, there's Squeaky.

Here, grab him, grab him.

- Uh-oh, Charlie watch out!
- Hey, that's my rat.

I'm gonna get you.

[dramatic music]
[birds chirping]

- More coffee?

- I'm good.

Any update on his ETA?

- Any second now?

- Okay, well it's
been 15 minutes

and you said five minutes
10 minutes ago, so.

[phone buzzing]

- Excuse me.

- That's probably Charlie.

Yeah.

[dramatic music]

- Great, looks exactly the same.

- There's just one problem.

- What?

- It doesn't squeak at all.

I haven't heard it, not once.

- Everybody loves the squeak.

His name is Squeaky
and he needs to squeak.

That's literally the only
thing it needs to do.

- I know, I know.

The only other one was
white with red eyes,

so I took my chances.

- Where's Charlie?

- I don't know, I
thought he was here.

- I thought he was with you.

- Gosh, can this get any worse?

- Is that squeaky?

- No.
- Yes.

- I mean, yes.

He's just a little
under the weather.

- He's sick?

- No, just a little cold.

- Rats can catch a cold.

- Yeah, oh yeah.

- Oh, I didn't know that.

- You learn something every day.

- Charlie.

Squeaky, there you are.

Almost had a heart attack.

- Oh, ah.

This is Squeaky's brother.

They look exactly alike.

Sorry for the confusion.

- No worries, they
do look alike.

- All right, ready
to make that video?

- Yes.
- Yeah, yeah.

[footsteps plodding]

- Great, just shave a few
more frames from the top.

Audiences are beyond
ADD these days.

- Tell me about it.

[lively music]

- Okay, one more time from
the top please, Charlie.

[lively music]

[all clapping]

Perfect, post it Charlie.

And don't forget,
hashtag Rat Snax.

[lively music]

- Yes.
- Yeah.

- Great, my work here
is done for the day.

This is just the beginning.

I'll be in touch soon.

Apparently the agency's been
fielding offers all day.

So plenty more where
that came from.

- Wonderful.
- Thank you so much really.

- Okay.

[footsteps plodding]

[paper rustling]

- Now we can pay
off the mortgage

and you can pay off your debt
all from one post of a rat.

Long live Squeaky.

- Squeaky.
[all clapping]

- Come on.

Yes.

[lively music]

[Squeaky squeaking]

- King Squeaky.

- [All] Squeaky.

- Guys, this is perfect.

[gentle music]

- Wow, they're so cute.

- Don't freak out, Mom.
- Okay.

He's kind of cute actually.

- Did you just say what
I thought you said?

- I think so.

- Pet him, Mom.

[gentle music]

- Oh, oh, oh, he's adorable.

- Touch his tail.

[gentle music]

- Oh. [laughs]

Not so bad.

- Oh, Squeaky, you're the best.

- Like one big happy family.

A toast to Squeaky.

- [All] To Squeaky.

[phone buzzing]

- Who's calling at dinnertime?

- It's the university,
I wonder what they want.

- I don't know but answer.

- Hello?

Yes, this is Paul.

Yes, I'll hold for the dean.

Hi, Dean Winters.

Oh, so he's retiring again?

And the professor
position is open again?

And you want me, that's.

I, that's crazy.

Yes, that sounds amazing.

It's, oh, just one thing.

I know when we first spoke,

I said I could
teach night classes,

but I really need to
spend time with my family.

I hope you understand.

Yes.

Of course, absolutely.

I'll be there.

I'm gonna be a professor.

- Yes!
[all clapping]

- Good job!

- I'm so happy.

I love you all.

- Dad, you worked hard
and you deserve it.

Also, I'm really sorry if
I gave you a hard time.

- Thank you Charlie.

And I know I've been away
a lot, but you know what?

Now I'm gonna be here for every
single dinner from now on.

So you're gonna get
to see a lot of me

and in fact, so much of me that
you're gonna get sick of it.

- We'll see.

- Okay, so much so
that we should start

doing some math problems.

What's seven times nine?

- Dad, if it wasn't for me,

there'd be no
Squeaky and no money.

- You know what?

That's a fair point, Son.

And I appreciate everything
you have with this family.

- You know I love you, right?

- I love you too, Dad.

- But I still need an
answer to that question.

What's seven times nine?

- 70?

60.

Three.

- Yes.

Wait, did you cheat?

Did someone help you out?

That's not fair.

- Wait, Dad, didn't you
tell me the other day

that life's not fair?
- Yeah.

- Oh, you're all in trouble now.

- Hey Charlie.

Well, I got in trouble
for stealing Squeaky.

Jane's Mom told my Dad
now I have to apologize.

So I'm sorry.

- That's your apology?

- Well, yeah, but
I actually mean it.

It's just I think it's
cool about you and Squeaky.

It's just I've always
had a crush on you, Jane,

- Kevin, you are
like a brother to me.

I'm sorry.

But we can still
be friends, right?

- Friends?

Yeah, I guess so.

- Wait, does this mean
It'll be cool to me now.

being a jerk to you.

Sorry about that.

- It's fine, I appreciate it.

- Later.

- Alligator.

- Aw Charlie.

That's really mature of you.

- All right.

Who wants ice cream?
- Can I have ice cream?

- I wouldn't have
it any other way.

- I guess.
- For sure.

Pistachio would
be where I'm now.

- Are you paying?

Are you paying?
- Pistachio

or like a banana
ripple would be nice.
