- The Dinosaur Problem...

Whoooooaaaa!

- When dinosaurs
walked the earth...

is now!

Yup! Cat and I are
in the Prehistoric Valley,
with our dino buddies!

This is Stegosaurus.
She's got one, two, three,

four, five, six, seven plates!
- Mmmmmrph!

- And this here is Triceratops.
He's got one, two, three horns.

- Horn horn horn.

- And finally, meet

Brachiosaurus.

He's got only one tail.
And that's a good thing.
- Mm-hmm.

- Hey, I've got an idea!

Let's go check out the super
stupendous view from that ridge!

- Out there? But
what if we get lost?

- Don't you worry, Cat!
What could hurt us?
We're brave explorers!

- We are?
- That's the spirit!

I see the ridge!

But first we have to get past
this muddy trail.

Dinosaurs love making
patterns in the mud.
- What kind of patterns?

- Bouncy patterns!
- Oof!

- ♪♪ Step, step, bounce ♪

♪ Step, step, bounce! ♪

♪ I'd like to announce
The pattern amounts ♪

♪ To step, step, bounce!
- Mmmrph, mmmrph, mmmrph! ♪

- ♪ Step, step, bounce!
- That's my spine! ♪

- ♪ You can jostle and jounce
but the pattern that counts ♪

♪ Is step, step, bounce
- Horn, horn, horn! ♪

- ♪ Everybody who mounts
Feels their dinosaur pounce
And step, step, bounce ♪

♪ Step, step, bounce! ♪♪

We made it!
What happened to you?

- Step step bounce...step...
- Don't worry, Cat.

I just know you'll feel better
when you see...

Dun, dun, dun! The super
stupendous view!

- I feel...
pretty much the same.

- Oh no! There's a huge boulder
blocking the view!

And with the boulder in the way,
we can't view the view!

This is a BIG PROBLEM!

And look!

The boulder's so big
that a dinosaur can't
move it out of the way.

In fact, not even dinosaurs
can move the boulder!

Wow, not even dinosaurs
can move it!

What could it possibly take
to make this boulder budge?!

Cat's bottom, that's what!
You helped push the boulder
with your tush,

you amazing
tush-pushing Cat!

And so...
♪ Problem solved ♪

♪ The problem is solved!
We solved the problem! ♪

♪ Problem solved! ♪

- Mmmmrph!
- Hooooooooorn!
- See? Didn't I tell you

the view was incredible?
What is it, Cat?

Do you want more credit
for moving that boulder
with your bottom?

- Uh, I don't think
it's a boulder.
- Uh, you're right!

I think it's an egg!
And it's hatching!

But what kind of egg is it?!
- Raaaaaaaah!

- That would be
a baby T-Rex.

- I thought all
you could say was "horn."

- I can say other things.
I just find "horn" does
the trick, most of the time.

- That's okay, heh. I mean,
T-Rex's are scary and all,

but it's not like it's even
seen us or anything.
- Raaaaaaaah!

- Okay, so it's seen us, with
its eyes, but it's not like

it's walking towards us or
anyth-- Okay, it totally is.

Run! Okay,

so we're kinda lost.

And we're kinda being
chased by a T-Rex.

And it's kind

of a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!

But things could be worse. Do
you have any Graham crackers?
- Nope.

- It's worse!
What are we going to do?!

But if we can get
through the forest,

I think we can find the path
back to the valley. Just be
careful, everyone.

There's all kinds of crazy,
prehistoric plants
in this forest,

and if you don't
watch out you'll get--

- Tangled up?
- Yeah! How'd you know, Cat?

- Wild guess.
- Cat! Get out of that bush!
- I can't.

I'm tangled, and loving it.
- Huh.

This bush has three of these
tangly balls... Triceratops,

I bet you could use your three
horns to poke through the balls,
and free Cat!

- Oh, really,
don't bother about me.
- Go ahead, Triceratops!

Give it a sh*t.
- Horn?

- You don't understand what
I'm talking about, huh?
- Horn.

- I know! I'll draw you
a diagram!

A diagram is a picture that
shows you how to do something!

So, first back up.
Then line up just right.

Then run towards the bush,
and use your three horns...

to poke the three balls on
the plant...and set Cat free!

- I get it now!
I'm a visual learner.

Here we go!

- I'm free!

It's been fun.
- C'mon, guys, we've gotta
keep moving! Just remember

to keep a close eye
on your surroundings.

We don't want another--
Aw, man. This sticks.

- You okay, Peg?
Should I go play with
the yarn bush some more?

- No, but don't come any closer!
There are of these sticky,
prickly things,

so you guys could get stuck too!
Wait a minute-- seven!

Just like Stegosaurus
has plates on her back!

- Mmmrph?
- Stegosaurus, use your plates

to get rid of
the sticky pears!

- Mmmrph...
- I don't think she gets it.

- All right, I'll just have
to draw another diagram!
Here's you, Stegosaurus.

And here's the bush. First, back
up. Then duck low to the ground,

then run as fast
as you can into the bush,

so your plates knock off
the sticky pears.
- Mmmmrph!

(shouts of joy)
- Raaaa raaaa raaaaaaaaaaaaa!

- T-Rex! Run!

- I see the trail that'll lead
us to the valley!

It's just across this river!
C'mon! We'll have to swim
across!

- I don't know how to swim!
- Then you can get on my back!
Come on!

- Well?
- I just remembered, I don't
know how to swim either.

- Rah!
- Wait, I know!

Brachiosaurus, lay your tail
over the river, and we'll run
across it!

Right, right,
draw a diagram, sorry.

Here's the river. And here's
your tail. Smash it down
over the river.

Then hold it in a straight line,
so we can run across!

- Rah?
- We made it!
- Raaaaawr!

- Aiieeefedeh!
- "Aiieeefedeh?"

- I don't know,
it just came out!
- Look, everyone,

the T-Rex is still following us!
We'd better go over the trail,

and get back to the safe valley
fast! Wait a minute!

Oh no! These are the holes the
dinosaurs made on the way over!

They're huge and we can't get
around them! And if we can't get
around the holes,

then we'll never get back to the
valley. And if we can't get back
to the valley--

Wait...I totally lost
my train of thought.

What's going to happen if we
don't get back to the valley?
- The T-Rex?

- Right, the T-Rex!
I mean, the T-REX!

Cat's right,

I should count backwards
from five to calm down.

Five, four,

three, two, one!

A pattern! You did it again,

you a-MAAA-zing
pattern-making cat!
- Hm?

- When the dinosaurs went over
the muddy trail, they walked
in a pattern:

step, step, bounce. Riiiight?
- Mm-hmm!

- So we can walk
in a new pattern to get
over the big deep puddles.

We gotta step, step, LEAP!
Cat is the smartest animal

in history!
- Well...prehistory.

- Raaaaaah!
- Step, step, leap
in a pattern! And hurry!

We're back in the
Prehistoric Valley!

We're saved!
- Uh, Peg--
- Because we used diagrams

to plan things, math really
saved our tails!
- Peg, uh,

there's kind of a--- Ah!
- Don't worry, Cat!
We're safe in the valley!

Good T-Rex. Um...
you like Graham crackers?

- We don't have
any Graham crackers.

- Not that we have any.
Just making conversation...

- Stop there! Be calm. Stay.
- Ramone!

That hat looks great on you!
I mean, what are you doing here?

- Hey, Peg! I'm actually working
as a T-Rex trainer.

- A T-Rex trainer?!
This guy.

- Be gentle, little guy,
be calm.
(purring)

See, at this age, they're
quite easy to train.
And quite friendly!

- Ramone, you are
so amazing!

And you look great in that hat.
- I do what I can!

- Cat and I just came here to
play with the dinosaurs,
maybe ride 'em,

but you're all, like,
taming them, and--
- Actually, Peg,

I love dino-rides.
And I have an idea for a new one

that includes the T-Rex!

- No way.
- Way!

Check out this diagram!
- This is the coolest ride ever!

What are we waiting for?
Let's ride!

dino, start off nice and high! ♪

♪ Slide on down his spine-o

- ♪ Things seem less complicated

- ♪ Do it!
- Like he drew it!

- Um, Ramone, I'm confused.
This part of the diagram

shows us being
carried off by a giant bird.

- And here it comes now!

- ♪ Horn, horn,
horn, horn, horn! ♪

- That's it: I am only going
to say "horn" from now on.
- Horn!

- No other words.
- Knock knock.
- Who's there?

- But wait.
- But wait who?
- But wait, you just said

five words that weren't horn!
(laughing)

- You gotta commit.
Horn!

(classical music)

- I can't believe we're in
the actual same room as the guy

who composes the most
amazing music on earth!

I'm Peg,
and this is Cat,

and this...

is Ludwig
Van Beethoven!

- Ach! Hmm...

- Beethoven's a little
frustrated today 'cause
he's writing a symphony.

A symphony's a long piece of
music that's a really big deal!

And today, guess who's coming
to hear the new symphony?

The King!

- Beethoven put out all
his fanciest silverware,

so after he plays the symphony
for the King, he'll serve
the King's favorite meal:

wurst. It's this sausage-y
hotdog-y thing.

(sniffing)
- Wurst is best!
(laughing)

- The table's set!
The wurst is hot!

Everything's ready...
but the symphony!

- Ach!
- Don't worry, Ludwig!

You'll write a really good
symphony! He's already
written four!

His first, second,
third and fourth symphonies!

- Why do you count
first, second, third

instead of one,
two, three?

- You can do that when things
go in order, like first page,

second page, third page,

first finger, second finger,
third finger...

- First string, second string,
third string...

(giggling)
It's supposed to do that, right?

- Ach!
(sobbing)

I can't sink of a single good
idea for my symphony

und zee king vill
be here any minute!

- You haven't even
started yet?

Beethoven has a BIG PROBLEM!
(sobbing)

Can I make a suggestion, Ludwig?
- Suggest avay, Peg!

You alvays got good ideas!
- Okay. How about starting
your symphony with a pattern?

You know, take a really cool
bunch of notes, and repeat it
over and over!

- A pattern! Ya!
But vut pattern?!

- Hmm... What pattern...

(laughing in harmony)

(laughing in harmony)

- Ya! Ha, ha, ha! Genius!

- I think your laugh
gave Beethoven an idea!

- ♪ Short short short
looooooooong! ♪

♪ Short short short
looooooooooong! ♪

- Whoa!
- Great tune, Ludwig!
It really sticks in your ear!

- He made my laugh
into music!

- Using zis pattern a whole
lotta times, I vill compose

my entire symphony! Done!

(shouts of joy)

- ♪ Problem solved!
The problem is solved! ♪

- Uh, Ludwig?
- ♪ Vee solved the problem
Problem solved! ♪

- You okay?
- I squooshed the vurst!

Und zee king is on zeh vay!

- Can't the King just go without
wurst, just this once?

- When he vants his vurst,
he vants his vurst!

- We have to please
the King, right?
- Oh, zee King MUST be pleased!

- Then we've got a--
- (all): Really big problem!

- Maybe we can
un-squoosh the wurst?

- Vurst cannot be un-squooshed!
But luckily,

right down zee street is the
best vurst shop in all the land!
- To the wurst shop!

- Dum dum dee duuuuuuuum...
dum dum dee duuuuuuum...

- These are a lotta stairs
for Cat, because Beethoven
lives five floors up.

See? We're on the fifth floor!
- Fifth floor... whoa.

- Fourth floor!
- Fourth floor.

- Third floor.
- Third floor.

- Second floor!

First floor!
- Out vee go!

(horse neighing)
Ze King! He's vun
block from my home!

- We gotta get the wurst!
- And fast!

- Go go go goooooooo!

- Hey, Peg!
- Hey, Ramone! Ramone?

You run a wurst shop?
- Best in town! So what
can I get for you?

- Well, we'd like--
- Short short short looooong!

- Excuse me?
- Short short short looooong!

- What Beethoven's saying is,

he's going to serve wurst to the
King, me, Cat, and himself...

and he wants to give us each
short short short long--

Three short wursts
and one long wurst!

- So altogether, you need...
how many short wursts?

- One, two, three, four, five--
- Six!

- Seven, eight,
nine, ten, eleven--

- Twelve!
- Short wursts.

- And how many
long wursts?

- One two three--
- Four!
- Long wursts.

- Here you go, Mister Beethoven.
Twelve short wursts and
four long wursts.

Enough for each of
your guests to have--
- Short short short looooong!

- Exactly!
(horse neighing)

- Ze King! Vee gotta sprint!
- Thanks, Ramone!
- I do my wurst!

- The King's going
into your building!

- To zee back door!

Let's hurry up zee back stairs
so we can b*at zee King
to my room!

- And get there first
with the wurst!

- Ya! Dum dum dum duuuuuuummm
duuuum duuuum!

- First floor....
- First floor...

- Second floor...
- Second floor...

- Third floor... Ludwig?

- Second floor...
- Why are you running
back down?!

- I'm scared, Peg! Vut if
the King hates my symphony!

- How could he? You're like
the greatest composer alive!
- I don't feel great.

I feel shtinky!
- You feel--
- Stinky?

- I feel shtinky!
- You're not--
- Stinky!

- I feel--
- Stinky? You're not--
- Shtinky.

- There's no way the King won't
love your symphony, Ludwig.

It's got short short
short loooooong!

- You're sure it's good?
- Check it out! Short
short short looooong!

It totally rocks!
- It does rock! Totally!

Sank you, Peg und Cat!
- Everyone needs encouragement
sometimes!

- Dum dum dum dummmmm!
- Third floor.

- Third floor.

- Fourth floor.
- Fourth floor!

- Fifth floor!
- Fifth floor!

- Ze King! Qvick!

Ah! Ze table!

(knocking)
- Just a second, Your Majesty!

- Short short short long!
- Short short short long!

- Short short short long!
- Long short short short!

- Vuht?!
- I kid, I kid!
Short short short long!

(laughing)
- Good one, Cat!
- Long short short short!

(knocking)
We are ready for
the ze King now, ya?!

- The table's totally set,
so you can let the King in
to hear...

What's your new symphony
called, by the way?

(gasping)
- It has no name!

- How about the short Symphony?
- No!

- The long Symphony?
- No!

- The wurst symphony?

- Mmm...No!

I can't present the symphony
to the King without a name--

- But we can't think
of just the right name!

And the king is
right at the door!

- We are totally ausgefrieken!
(whistling)

- (both): Cat's right. We should
count backwards from five
and calm down.

Five, four, three,

two, one!

- Ya! Ha, ha, ha! Genius!
- You've done it again,

you amazing Cat! Because
Beethoven wrote the symphony

on the fifth floor--
- Und because I wrote four
symphonies before this one--

first, second, third, fourth...

- We'll call it--
- (both): Beethoven's
Fifth Symphony!

- Velcome, majesty.

- So because we knew patterns,
and first, second, third,
fourth and fifth...

- ...we helped Beethoven
set the table just right...

- And make some
music fit for a king!
- Math really saved my symphony!

Your Majesty,
I present to you:

Beethoven's
Fifth Symphony.

- I really hope
the King likes it.
- I really hope so too.

Kings can be so picky!

- I know!
