"The tea party"

Pablo:
(pretends to race a car)

Vroom! Vroom, vroom! Vroom!

Vroooooom!

Scccrrreeech!

Whoa!

(Laugh)

Hey, it's me,
pablo!

And me, tyrone!

I'm a race car
driver

And I'm going to drive
in the world's fastest race!

Hey tyrone,
ready to race?

Well, actually, no.

Huh?

You see,
I'm a mountain climber

And I'm going to climb
the world's tallest peak.

Oh. Are you sure?

Yup.

Race car driving
is really exciting.

Well, mountain climbing
is exciting.

Pablo:
yeah, but race car driving
is exciting and fast!

Mountain climbing
is exciting and...

And thrilling!

Hey, you guys!

Both:
uniqua!

Want to drive
race cars?

Want to go
mountain climbing?

Knock, knock!

Huh?

Knock, knock!

What?

Say "who's there!"

Pablo:
okay. Who's there?

t*nk.

Both:
t*nk who?

You're welcome!

Ta-da!
(Laughs)

It's a joke!

A knock,
knock joke!

Oh, I get it!

t*nk who?
You're welcome.

Very funny.

(Giggles)

Okay, uniqua,

But don't you want
to drive race cars?

No, you want to go
mountain climbing,

Don't you?

Actually,

I don't want to race cars
or climb mountains

Because I'm a
stand up comic.

I want to make
people laugh!

But race car driving
is exciting and fast!

And mountain climbing
is exciting and thrilling!

Well, being
a stand up comic

Is exciting
and funny!

Race car driving!
Definitely!

Mountain climbing
all the way!

It's all about
being funny.

Race car driving!

Mountain climbing's
better!

Definitely
stand up comic.

Tasha:
(humming)

Uniqua:
I know what!

Let's let tasha decide.

Pablo:
okay, whatever
she wants to do...

Tyrone:
we all do.

Uniqua:
deal?

All:
deal!

Uniqua:
hi tasha!

Tyrone:
hey tasha!

Pablo:
hey tasha.

Tasha:
good afternoon.
How lovely to see you.

Hey tasha,

Don't you want to do something
exciting and fast?

Or maybe something
exciting and thrilling?

Or something exciting
and funny?

Pablo:
your choice.

Tyrone:
whatever you want.

Uniqua:
no pressure!

Well, dear friends,

Since it's my choice,
I think that we...

Both:
yeah?

Should have a tea party!

All:
(surprised)
a tea party?!

Tasha:
yes! A tea party,

Where we sip tea
and lift our pinkies

And say
pip-pip, cheerio!

Pip-pip,
cheerio?

Oh man.

That doesn't sound
very exciting.

On the contrary.

It can be extremely
exciting

To make the perfect
cup of tea.

* You and me we'll have
the perfect cup of tea *

* It will be so divine

* And the sipping
will be fine *

* We'll stick
our pinkies out *

* That's what tea time's
all about *

* So come and join me
pip-pip, cheerio *

* It sounds rather boring

* I'd rather go soaring

* Or racing a speedboat
out on the open sea *

Uniqua:
* that sounds more like
my cup of tea *

Tasha:
* come on, guys

* Bet you'll like it
if you try *

* We'll have
a tea time quest *

* Till we find
the very best *

* Search out
the finest tea *

* Anywhere on land
or sea *

* So lift your pinky

* Pip-pip, cheerioooo

Uniqua:
all right,
let's just get it over with.

Tyrone:
bring on the tea party.

We're ready.

Oh, goody!

But there's just one
teensy little thing.

Yeah?

To have a perfect tea party,

You must have the perfect
cup of tea.

Yeah?

Tasha:
and to have the perfect
cup of tea,

You must find the perfect
tea leaves...

Yeah?

Tasha:
and there's only one place
where perfect tea leaves grow -

The jungles of borneo.

All:
the jungles of borneo?

Tasha:
where there are lots
and lots of trees.

Pablo:
and vines.

Tyrone:
and hopefully,
tea leaves.

Tasha:
* you and me we'll have
the perfect cup of tea *

* So lift your pinky

* Pip-pip, cheerioooo!

Here we are,
the jungles of borneo!

Pablo:
okay, let's get
some tea leaves.

Tyrone:
have the tea party.

Uniqua:
and then do something
exciting!

Both:
yeah!

There's just one
teensy little thing.

Yeah?

There's only one
kind of tea leaf

That will make
a perfect cup of tea.

Yeah?

And it only grows
on one tree.

Yeah?

In this whole
jungle.

Uniqua:
find one tree
in this whole jungle?

Pablo:
but this place
is full of trees!

We're doomed.

Tasha:
oh, come, come!

The only thing
we have to do

Is find the tree
with golden tea leaves.

But how?

Climb up
and look around!

Pablo:
wow! This is one tall tree.

Tyrone:
it certainly is.

Tasha:
do you see the golden tree?

Uniqua:
not from here!

So how are we going
to find it?

Tasha:
why zip, of course.

Uniqua:
zip?!

Pablo:
awesome!

Tyrone:
cool!

C'mon you guys!

Weeeeeee! Weeeeeee!

* Let's get zipping, guys

* Let's go through the trees
of borneo *

All:
* weee... Weee...

* Zip, zip, zip
from tree to tree *

All:
* weee... Weee...

* To see if we can find
that tea *

* How about these?
How about these? *

* Think these might be
the golden leaves? *

* Golden leaves
don't look like this *

* These are kinda
silver-ish *

Uniqua:
* well, let's keep
looking then *

* Let's go through
the trees of borneo *

All:
* weee... Weee...

* Zip, zip, zip
from tree to tree *

All:
* weee... Weee...

* To see if we can find
that tea *

* Are these golden?

* No, my good fellow

* I would call them
just plain yellow *

* They don't have
a golden shine *

Uniqua:
* oh well, onward,
grab a vine! *

* Let's keep zipping, guys

* Let's go through
the trees of borneo! *

All:
* weee... Weee...

* Zip, zip, zip
from tree to tree *

All:
* weee... Weee...

* To see if we can find
that tea *

* There's some more leaves,
what do you think? *

* They'd be perfect
for our drink *

* I don't see
a golden sheen *

* They're just plain
old brown-ish green. *

Uniqua:
* we're zipping fast,
but searching slow *

Pablo:
* through the leaves
of borneo *

Tyrone:
hey! Over there!

Tasha:
oh, I say!

I think that
might be it!

Weeeeee!

The golden tea leaves
of borneo!

Perfect!

Weee...

Pablo
you know, all that zipping
around in the treetops

Was pretty exciting.

Uniqua:
yeah!

It was really exciting.

Tyrone:
and thrilling.

Excellent!

We have the golden
tea leaves of borneo.

They'll make a
perfect cup of tea.

So we can have
the tea party now, right?

We're ready.

Pip-pip, cheerio!

Well, there's just another
teensy little thing.

Yeah?

To have the perfect
cup of tea,

You must brew it
in the perfect tea pot.

Yeah?

And drink it from
the perfect tea cups.

Yeah?

Which we just need
to borrow.

Borrow?

From who?

From the emperor
of the ming empire.

We'll just pop over
to his palace and ask him.

Pablo:
oh, man!

Tasha:
come along, everyone!

It's not far at all.

Tyrone:
making the perfect cup of tea

Certainly is complicated.

Uniqua:
you can say that again.

Tyrone:
making the perfect cup of tea

Certainly is complicated.

(Giggling)

Quickly now!
Don't dawdle.

I do hope the emperor
is at home.

(Doorbell rings)

Oh dear,
no answer.

I shall ring again.

(Doorbell rings)

Uniqua:
maybe nobody's home.

Nonsense!

Hello!
Your majesty! Hello?

Helloooo!

(Rings doorbell repeatedly)

Austin the emperor:
who dares to ring my doorbell?

All:
whoa!

It's me,
tasha.

Uh, and me,
tyrone.

And uniqua.

And pablo.

May we come in?

Austin the emperor:
oh. Well, all right.

(Doors creak open)

All:
whoa!

Tasha:
come along!
Don't dawdle!

You know,

That emperor didn't
sound very happy

That we rang
his doorbell.

Yes.

Well, there's just one
little thing about the emperor.

All:
yeah?

He tends to be just
an eensy bit grumpy.

All:
uh-oh.

Tasha:
ah, there he is.

The emperor of
the ming empire.

Uniqua:
you know,

This emperor doesn't look
too happy to see us.

Tyrone:
that must be the tea set.

Tasha:
come along.
Don't dawdle!

Good afternoon,
your highness.

We've come to borrow
your tea set.

(Scowling)
you want to borrow my tea set?

Yes, please.

Hmmmmm.

Well...

(Grumpily)
no!

Pablo:
oh man.

Tyrone:
awwwwww.

Uniqua:
bummer.

But your majesty,

We're planning a tea party

And we need your tea set
to make the perfect cup of tea.

Oh. Hmmmmm.

Well...

No!

Oh, dear.

Why are you so grumpy?

Because being the emperor
is really hard.

I have to sit on this throne
all day long.

It feels like
I've been sitting here

For a zillion years.

And that makes me grumpy!

* A zillion years

* Upon this throne

* Has tightened up

* My funny bone

* You can joke
as far as the eye can see *

* But not one chuckle

* Will you hear from me

* I'm grumpy

All:
* you're grumpy

* You're frowny
and you're frumpy *

Emperor:
* I'm grumpy

All:
* you're grumpy

Emperor:
* and this throne
is hard and bumpy *

Uniqua:
maybe if we can
make him laugh...

Tyrone:
he won't be so grumpy.

Pablo
and he'll lend us
his tea set!

Tasha:
let's try it!

Austin the emperor:
you can try,

But you won't get
a laugh out of me.

* You can jokey

* And hokey pokey

* But you won't
get a laugh *

* Okey dokey?

* How about this?
Is it funny to you? *

* I've seen it before,
try something new! *

* Have you ever seen
such a funny dance? *

* That's not funny!
Not a chance! *

* Have a look at
this funny face? *

* If that's funny,
I'm a ming vase! *

Pablo:
what a grumpy guy!

Tyrone:
he just won't laugh!

Tasha:
oh, for goodness sakes!

Hey,
wait a minute!

I know what
could work.

Knock, knock.

What?

Knock, knock.

Now you say,
"who's there?"

Hmmmm.
Well...

Who's there?

Banana.

Banana who?

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Banana.

Banana who?

Knock, knock.

(Annoyed)
who's there?!

Orange.

(Annoyed)
orange who?!

Orange you glad
I didn't say banana?

Austin the emperor:
hmm... Hmmm...

Hmmm... Hmmm... Hmmm...

(Laughs)

Brilliant!

Orange who...

Tasha:

(Laughing helplessly)

Ah, sure!
Of course.

Take it.
Take the tea set.

Oh, I can't take it
anymore.

Tasha:
thank you,
your majesty.

Austin the emperor:
brilliant! (Still laughing)

Orange who...

Tasha:
excellent work,
old chaps.

Pablo:
all right!

Now we have the tea set

Of the emperor
of the ming empire.

Tyrone:
and the golden tea leaves
of borneo.

Uniqua:
everything we need

For a perfect cup of tea,
right?

Tasha:
well, there's just
one more

Teensy weensy thing.

All:
yeah?

Water.

You can't make tea
without hot water.

Well, that can't be
hard to find.

You're right.

It will be easy
peasey.

We just have to dash over

To the gushing geyser
of the gobi desert.

The gushing what?

Of the where?

Tasha:
the gushing geyser
of the gobi desert.

Pablo:
what's that?

Tasha:
it's where we'll get
the perfect hot water,

For the perfect cup
of tea

For the perfect tea party!

You'll see!

* Tea, tea, tea

* We'll have the perfect
cup of tea *

* Now won't you join me

* Pip-pip, cheeriooo!

Pablo:
oh man!

Uniqua:
when are we going to do
something exciting...

Pablo:
...and fast!

Well,
when you think about it,

Meeting the emperor
of the ming empire

Was pretty exciting.

Yeah, you're right.

It was exciting
and funny.

Totally funny.

Tasha:
come along!
Don't dawdle!

Tyrone:
okay!

Pablo:
we'll be right there!

Pablo:
so, how far
is this gushing geyser?

Not far. Look.

There's the geyser!

I don't see anything.

Tasha:
look where I'm pointing!

Pablo:
that little hill?

That's the gushing geyser
of the gobi desert?

Tasha:
well, it's not gushing
right now, of course.

Obviously.

Tasha:
the great gushing geyser
only gushes once a day.

But first it rumbles
three times.

(Loud rumble)

Whoa!

Whoa!

What was that?

That was the first rumble!

Two more to go!

Pablo:
so we have to get
all the way over there...

Before the third rumble?

Tasha:
exactly.
Or wait until tomorrow.

Pablo:
wait until tomorrow!

Oh boy! Oh boy!

The geyser only
gushes once a day!

Everybody stay calm.

Be cool.

This was just
the first rumble.

Uniqua:
pablo?

That was the first rumble!

Only two more rumbles.

How are we going to get there
in only two rumbles?

Tasha:
pablo!

Yeah?

There's only one way

To get to the geyser
before the third rumble.

Mongolian ponies.

Wow!
Mongolian ponies?!

That certainly
is convenient!

Tasha:
mongolian ponies are
the fastest running ponies

In the world!

Now, come along!
Don't dawdle!

Whoa!

Easy boy!

Steady!

(Loud rumble)

The second rumble!

We've got to go!

We can make it!

Gallop, ponies, gallop!

* Gallop, ponies, gallop!

* Across the desert plain

* Gallop, ponies, gallop!

* Faster than a train

* Gallop, ponies, gallop!

All:

Pablo:

Tasha:

Any moment now.

Uniqua:
