THEME SONG: Pete the cat--

he's one groovy dude.

He'll put you in a happy mood.

He's got a funky style and a cool attitude.

Pete the cat-- yeah, he's all that.

[LAUGHTER]

He knows where it's at.

Pete the cat.

Woo!

Pete the cat.

[CHIME]

[GUITAR NOTES]

CALLIE: (SINGING) This is a song about my friends--

Afternoon, cats and kittens.

The kids sure are playing hard, huh?

(SINGING) This song about my friends.

This will be perfect for the opening of Mama's cafe!

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): That's right,

Emma's mama is opening a French-style cafe.

She's asked the kids to play at the opening.

And Callie, well, she wrote a special song for the event.

(HOARSELY) Let's play it one more time.

Uh, Callie, I think we have the song

down pretty well at this point.

Oh, come on guys, please?

It's such a fun song!

I mean, uh, I'm OK playing it again.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CLEARING THROAT]

(SINGING) Here is what I'm trying

to say to you about my friends.

[CLAPPING]

Ahh!

The song sounds great, honey, but I--

I think your voice could use a rest.

I love singing it so (HOARSELY) much!

But I'll take a break.

Good night, Daaaa--

That's good.

You get some rest, Callie, and we'll see

how you feel in the morning.

[ROOSTER CROWS]

Morning, Callie!

You excited to sing at the big show tomorrow?

Aaaaah--

[HIGH-PITCHED SCREECH]

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Now, I usually

speak for a certain blue cat of a few words,

but I may have to fill in for Callie too, because Callie--

she's lost her voice.

(HOARSELY) I don't have rehearsal

till this afternoon That's plenty of rest for my voice.

Callie, I don't think that's enough rest,

but we'll see how you feel then, OK?

A-five, six, seven, eight.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[CLEARING THROAT]

(SINGING) Here is maaa--

Quel fromage, Callie.

Are you OK?

You sound like a ghost!

A nice one.

With very pretty fur.

Si.

It was a bit spooky.

[HOARSE BREATH]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

(SINGING HOARSELY) This is a song about my friends.

This is a song that never ever (WHISPERING) ends.

This song--

[LIPS SMACKING]

Hey!

Hey, hey-- how can we do the show if Callie can't sing?

She does all the sings!

Aww, Pete is right.

Do not worry, Sally.

Callie will be fine by tomorrow.

But someone has to sing for rehearsal.

[AIR WHOOSHING]

What about Pete?

Ah, oui, Pete.

Would you like to sing for the rehearsal?

[HUMMING]

What about Grumpy?

[HUMMING]

Yes!

I'll do it!

I love this song so much I hop out of bed singing it!

And nothing makes me hop out of bed in the morning--

nothing.

But-- only if Callie's OK with it.

Yay!

Thanks, Callie!

Oh, let's hit it!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

(SINGING) Can I just take a minute or two

to sing about my friends?

They make me feel like I can fly in a sky that never ends.

They're there for me when I need 'em.

They give me space when I need to be alone.

They lift me up when I'm feeling down

and take me to my happy zone.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Pete was excited to see grumpy get out

of his comfort zone and sing.

They all were-- everyone except Callie,

who was a bit surprised.

Callie!

What did you think?

Oh, um, I changed the line, "across a sky that never ends,"

to, "in a sky that never ends."

Is that OK?

Uh, but don't speak!

Just give me a paws up or down.

[MARACA SHAKE]

[EXCITED GRUNT]

Oh, tres bon, magnifique.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Pete realized

that without being able to sing, Callie

was starting to feel left out.

Pete's right, Callie.

Don't go.

Of course!

You're still in the band even if you can't sing!

And singing is the only thing you've ever done.

Why don't you play an instrument

until you get better?

EMMA: Great idea!

[TING]

Callie, this is temporary.

You're still our singer!

I'm just sharing the job until your voice gets better.

[TING]

And I'm sure you'll be better by tomorrow.

Oh, please don't worry.

If you're not better, I'm sure Grumpy

won't mind singing at the show.

He's the greatest substitute singer ever.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): We all do different things

when we're sad.

When Callie's said, she tidies up.

Well, have you seen a room more sparkling clean than Callie's?

She must be pretty sad.

Hey, superstar, look who's here.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Pete had a feeling that Callie

could use some tea and company.

He's that kind of cat.

(WHISPERING) Your mom's special tea?

Thanks.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Well, Pete, could tell right

away that Callie had a problem.

She knew Grumpy was going to be great, but even so.

(WHISPERING) Why am I so sad?

(SINGING) Your light is just as bright when you give

someone else a chance to shine.

Sometimes you stand in front, sometimes you stand behind,

and that's just fine.

Music has a melody, a rhythm, and a beat that all entwines.

And each one is important, one not more than any by design.

Your light is just as bright when you give

someone else a chance to shine.

(WHISPERING) I don't want to share

the spotlight with Grumpy.

That's so selfish.

Am I a bad kitten?

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Callie is not a bad kitten, not at all.

(SINGING) Your light is just as bright when you give

someone else a chance to shine.

Cloudy skies are clear, a star will always shine.

You're gonna shine.

Shine.

Good morning, Cat City's premier triangle player.

That's the attitude.

We better clean up.

It's just about time for the big show.

Dad, look out.

Hey, there, did my daughter just talk?

Did I talk?

Yes.

Yes.

I can talk.

You see, all you needed was some rest.

Now I get to be Cat City's premier singer instead.

That's great news, but you should think about Grumpy and--

I need to let the band know I'm back, baby.

Pete, Pete, I got my voice back.

I can sing at the show today.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Now, Pete's happy to hear that Callie's

recovered, but he also knows how much it means for Grumpy

to sing in today's show.

I'm so excited today.

I have butterflies in my stomach,

and it's not because I ate butterflies for breakfast.

I might actually get to sing today.

It is so wonderful to see you put yourself out there.

The song really inspires me.

I can't wait to sing it for you.

If Callie's voice isn't back.

I hope it is, because she's a great singer.

Break a leg, kiddo.

We'll be watching.

Hi, Callie, are you feeling better?

So I have to go out there and sing your awesome song?

Oh, thank you for letting me sing your song.

I'd better get ready.

Me me me me me.

It's Grumpy's turn to shine.

Me too.

Hello, Cat City.

This is a song that my friend Callie wrote and was

nice enough to let me sing.

So one, two, one, two, three, go.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

(SINGING) Could I just take a minute or two

to sing about my friends?

They make me feel like I can fly in a sky that never ends.

There's my boy.

They're there for me when I needed them,

give me space when I need to be alone.

They lift me up when I'm feeling down,

and take me to my happy zone.

This is the song about my friends.

It's a song that never ends.

This song about my friends.

Grumpy, you were amazing.

What?

Callie, you got your voice back.

Did you know you could sing this whole time?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, I didn't tell you, but you worked so hard,

and you were so excited, I wanted you to have a chance

to be in the spotlight.

Thanks, Callie.

I've never had so much fun, but I'm ready to leave

the spotlight behind.

But, Grumpy, they want us both to sing.

One, two, a one, two, three, go.

(SINGING) This is a song about my friends.

It's a song that never ends.

This song all about my friends.

About my friends.

Sing it, Grumpy.

This is a song about my friends,

a song that never, ever ends.

This song all about my friends.

Oh, yeah.

Well, cats and kittens, Callie learned

that you can inspire others, even if you don't have a voice.

Your light is just as bright when you give

someone else a chance to shine.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Howdy, cats and kittens.

Our favorite blue cat is real excited about today.

Yeah, it's going to be a perfect day.

Well, maybe not perfect, but certainly a great day.

Now Pete's a positive cat.

No kitten cowlick is going to get him down.

Good morning, Pete, my boy.

Oh, bad hair day, huh?

Well, no worries.

I'll make some fresh squeezed tangerine juice.

That always brings a smile on your face, eh?

Hey, bro, you left your new song in the living room.

I gotta say this is one great tune.

Try a paper towel, little cat.

It's still readablish.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Pete's morning wasn't going quite as

planned, but he knew playing his guitar

would make it all better.

Well, sometimes strings break, but at least

Pete had another string.

Does that guitar sound off to you?

Well, Pete plunked and tuned and plunked and tuned,

but it was just off.

You'll have to tune it later, my boy.

Aren't you supposed to meet your friends in the park?

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): That's right.

He was going to play music with his friends.

Pete was sure that would turn his day around.

Now this was more like it.

Looks like I spoke too soon.

Things aren't going Pete's way today,

but Pete knew once he got to his friends

everything would be just fine.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, Pete.

What happened to your skateboard?

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH].

Your feet, they are covered in the mud.

And a bad hair day, huh?

It's OK.

They happen.

Ah, forget that stuff.

Let's jam.

All right, and the one, two, one, two, three, four.

[OFF KEY STRUMMING]

Um, Pete, sorry, great energy, but is there something

wrong with your guitar?

Pete's guitar is way out of tune.

I think Pete's whole day is out of tune.

Poor guy.

He must be pretty down.

Well, he's not acting down, but that's so Pete.

I mean, he can't get his guitar in tune.

If I couldn't tune my piano, I'd need to be cheered all the ups.

Sally's right.

I'm always having a bad day, and you guys always cheer me up.

Let's do it.

Project cheer Pete up even though he's

acting like he doesn't need it.

I'm on it.

Get ready to see one happy blue cat.

Hey, Pete, I was thinking.

You love lollipops, right?

I mean they're sweet, colorful, not my idea of a tasty treat,

but I get it.

And it just so happens, I have this lollipop

for catching flies.

But if you're drawn to the lollipop like a fly,

then I want you to have it.

Yeah, I am so sorry, Pete.

I feel terrible.

Just awful.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Pete appreciated the gesture,

but tried to let his pals know he was fine.

He didn't need to be cheered up, but they were

determined to do it anyway.

Uh, Pete, do you want to see something funny?

This is Furlinni, the clown.

Behold the laughter.

It is hilarious because you're not supposed

to cry over the spilled milk.

Comprende vous?

Perhaps Furlinni is not for everyone.

See, he still doesn't look upset.

Hm.

Is it not possible that he does not need to be cheered up?

I think we just got to try hide harder, baby.

And I know just the thing.

OK, I don't think I know just the thing.

Thinking caps on.

Maybe it will help Pete's day if he

hears the new song he wrote.

Great idea, Gustavo.

Pete, we would like to sing your new song.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Pete's friends

wanted real bad to sing Pete's song,

but the runny lyrics made that tough.

Sorry, Pete, it's just that the words are all smudgy.

What's winging rode and prancing heart?

It's obviously singing toads and dancing harps.

See?

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): I think it was supposed to be

singing loud and dancing hard.

Yeah, Pete knew he couldn't fight it any longer.

Today was officially one of those days.

I think Pete will be fine.

He is having a bad day, that's all.

I know what that's like.

Are you having an off day, Grumpy?

Every day is an off day.

That's just how I roll.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Pete's a positive guy,

but what's a blue cat to do when he's having a bad day?

All right, let's flip all these eggs.

One, two, flip.

Looks like I'm off my egg flipping game today.

And it looks like I'm not the only one.

What's the matter, love?

Tell your old dad.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Pete told his dad all about the bad hair,

the broken skateboard, the mud puddle, the untunable guitar,

the runaway lyrics, all of it.

I'm having an out of tune day myself.

I mean, most days I can flip five eggs, but some days,

like today, I can't.

You want to know the trick to having a better day?

Truth is, there is no trick.

Sometimes when you have an out of tune day,

the only thing you can do is accept it and know

that things will get better.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

(SINGING) We all have days that feel

just like a popped balloon.

It's not the end of the world, my son.

You're just out of tune.

Out of tune.

Like you're dancing with two left feet.

You just can't seem to find the beat.

Like a snowstorm in the month of June.

You just feeling out of tune.

Out of tune.

Tomorrow the sun will shine.

The sky above will most likely be blue.

I'm sure that things will be fine,

and harmony will come back to you.

Yes, harmony will come back to you.

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Pete took his dad's advice

and decided to go to sleep early.

[ALARM RINGING]

NEVILLE (VOICEOVER): Pete woke up already

feeling a little more in tune.

In fact, there was a new tune in his head.

Ah, feels good to be back.

Hey, Pete, you look like you're feeling better.

And is that a new song I see?

Sorry, I am late.

I could not find my drumsticks and--

whoa.

I guess it is I who is having the off day today.

No worries, everyone has a bad day.

But just like me, soon enough, you'll feel back in tune.

One, two, a one, two, three, four.

THEME SONG: Here I am on the move,

taking the time [INAUDIBLE].

All my friends are here.
