Hamilton, what took you so long?

I had trouble getting the piano

Out of my box. Then I had to tune it.

I was lonesome.

And maggie is late too.

She had to go to town for new shoes.

[ Gasp ] maggie left her shoes here yesterday.

[ Chuckle ] no, those are the ones her mother gave her

To play grown-up.

Oh-h. I wish she'd hurry.

It's always more fun when maggie's here.

Will somebody tell me why you're all act- ing so strange?

Uh, w-we're not acting strange. Heh-heh.

Ha-ha, of course not. Ha-ha.

Let's see your new shoes.

See? They're all new and shiny.

But they're always the same.

I like mary-janes.

Well, I like those red, satin high heels.

They're too big, but I just love them.

Hamilton, are you home?

He's not in his box either.

He said we were doing something special today.

I wonder where he is.

[ Rustle of movement ]

[ Rustle of movement ]

Hamilton[ giggling ]

[ Giggling/ snorting ]

[ Giggling ] hi, beast. Hi, maggie.

Hamilton, why were you hiding?

I was testing my new hat.

It's supposed to make me inconspicuous.

That means hard to find.

Oh, you were very inconspicuous,

Until we heard you snort.

It's important to be inconspicuous

When you're going... Birdwatching.

[ Gasp ] I love birdwatching.

Today's the day we're going to spot

The rare buffle- headed booby.

He's the only bird in nowhere land I've never seen.

Oh, here he is.

Maggieoh, he's beautiful.

Beastdoes he know we're coming to see him?

Oh no, he's a very shy bird,

So we'll never see him unless we're very, very quiet

And... Very inconspicuous.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Thanks for lending me your vest, hamilton.

It really helps you blend in.

I don't think I blend in.

Sorry, beast, but we had to do something about your...

Well... The way you stomp.

But you're much quieter now.

Oh, good.

Maggiedo you see anything?

[ Chirping of sparrow ] I see a sparrow

[ Cawing of crow ] and a crow,

But no buffle- headed booby.

So now what?

We wait.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

[ Moan of boredom ]

[ Sigh ] I'm bored.

Can I borrow your binoculars, hamilton?

Sure, beast.

Oh! I've got giant feet.

And giant spots. [ Giggle ]

And a giant...

Spider!

Ah-h-h-h-h.

Bothah-h-h-h-h-h!

[ Squawking of birds ]

A giant spider. Run. Hide.

Beastah-h-h, spider. Beast, calm down.

It was only a teensy spider.

[ Wailing ]

[ Panting ]

Really?

Teensy-weensy.

Oh. [ Embarrassed giggle ]

Sorry.

Ah-h. We may as well have lunch.

Maybe if we're really quiet,

The birds will come back. Maybe.

I made nice, quiet peanut butter sandwiches.

You cut them into sailboats.

They taste better this way.

Hey!

[ Giggling ]

I think the birds like sailboats too.

Oh-h, what kind of bird eats sandwiches anyway?

It must have been a... Swallow.

[ Giggling ]

Get it? A swallow.

[ Giggling ]

Well, they're not going to swallow my lunch.

Mmmmm.

I'll give some sandwiches to the birds too.

Good thing I made lots.

[ Munching ]

[ ♪♪♪ ]

[ Mumbling with mouth full ]

Good sandwiches, beast?

[ With mouth full ] pls pss th jff.

You're mumbling, beast. I don't understand you.

[ Growl of frustration ]

[ Mumbling ] jff.

Beast[ mumbling ] jff.

Shhh. You'll scare the birds off again, beast.

Mm. I need jooff.

[ Squawking of birds ]

Oh, juice. Why didn't you say so?

[ Slurping ]

Ah. Whoo.

Thank you, maggie.

[ Groan of exasperation ]

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Well, there's one thing we haven't tried yet.

[ Deep breath ]

[ Squawk of bird call ]

What's that?

It's a bird call

To lure out the buffle- headed booby.

[ Squawk of bird call ]

Maybe it's broken.

Oh, we don't need that to call a bird, hamilton.

Allow me. [ Clearing of throat ]

Here, buffle- headed booby.

Echobooby, booby.

[ Squawking of birds ]

Here, buffle-headed booby.

Echobooby, booby.

[ Sighing ] oh! Oh, never mind.

Let's just go home.

I guess I'll never see a buffle- headed booby.

Bird[ squawking ] stop calling me that.

[ Stammering/squealing ]

You're a... You're a...

Don't say it.

I know what I am.

Oh, it's just such a silly name

That I don't answer to it.

If you don't like your name,

Why don't you change it?

Hmmm. Change my name? I never thought of that.

Sure. You could be, um...

Fluffy-footed feather-head.

You're one to talk.

Um-m-m...

Pink-crowned noble-beak?

Rarely-spotted... Polka-dotted...
[ … ]

Never-caughted...

Hmph, that's not very dignified.

I think he looks like a... Howard.

Beast, that's not a proper bird name.

[ Squawk ] who says it isn't?

Try it out. Um...

How do you do, howard?

Very well, thank you.

Hey, that's great.

It's so nice to meet you...

Howard.

[ Chuckle of pleasure ] don't stop.

[ Clearing of throat ] howard?

Yes?

Would you autograph my bird book?

With pleasure.

To my new friend...

Hamiltonhamilton.

Howardhamilton. From howard.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

There.

Oh dear.

Where do you belong?

Over here, hamilton.

I think that cup belongs with this saucer.

Right you are, beast.

Thank you. You're welcome.

[ Sigh ] everything has to be perfect

For our nowhere land tea party.

Will everyone have to dress up

In funny hats for our tea party,

Like the story in that book?

What book?

The famous book with alice.

You know, "the mad hatter's tea party."

Well, I'm not mad,

But I do have a great hat collection.

Let's see what I can find.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Did you find anything yet?

Ta-da!

What do you think?

[ Chuckling ]

Great googly-moogly, hamilton,

You look very... Um...

Distinguished?

Yes. Dis- tinguished.

I think that's the right word.

Dis-tinguished.

Don't I get a hat too?

Of course you do.

[ Gasp ]

Bells! Oh, I love bells.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Hmmm.

Looks a bit small.

Oh no, hamilton. It has bells.

That's what really matters.

I can't wait till maggie sees us.

Me too. Let's surprise her

By making the table perfect before she arrives.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Maggiehi. Hi, maggie.

Beast, you look very festive today.

And, hamilton, you look very...

Um... Distinguished?

Yes, distinguished.

Look what I brought for our tea party.

Oh, maggie, thank you.

That's the right thing.

Now I think we're ready.

Hmmm. Let's make sure we have everything.

Let me see. Teapot, cups,

Saucers, spoons. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh?

Where's the honey?

Uh, the what? The honey.

You have to have honey with tea.

Beastoh yes, honey.

I love honey. We must have honey.

Come to think of it, I don't like tea at all.

I just like honey.

Oh... Uh... Well, actually, um...

I'm out of honey.

Beast & maggie[ gasps of shock ]

Well, we can't have a tea party without honey.

We just have to find some honey.

But where? Oh! I know.

Let's go ask the bees for some.

Oh, maggie, i-i don't know.

Bees can be very nasty sometimes.

Hmmm. That is true.

Maybe if we ask very politely,

They would just give us some honey.

Or if you were a bee, hamilton,

Maybe you could borrow some.

But I'm not a bee.

Oh, I get it. [ Chuckle ]

What a wonderful idea, maggie.

Hamilton, would you go and put on your black and yellow, striped sweater?
[ … ]

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Maggiewe'll need two ping-pong balls

And some wire as well.

Ping-pong balls? [ Chuckling ]

Oh, this is going to be great.

And now you're a bee.

I am?

Now when you get to the beehive,

The queen bee will think you are a bee.

She will?

Uh-huh. And then she'll give you some honey.

Do you think this will work, beast?

[ Giggling ] [ jingling of hat bells ]

Be-e-east!

[ Clearing of throat ]

Well, to be more bee-like,

You could try buzzing.

Okay. [ Clearing of throat ]

Buzz.

Louder.

Buzz-zz.

Louder!

Buzz-zzzzz.

That's it. Perfect.

Now we're ready to go.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Now remember, hamilton, be bold.

[ Sigh ] oh-h.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Uh, okay. Buzz.

Buzz-zz. Um...

Uh, excuse me.

Oh my.

Buzz-zzzzzz.

Um, I'm just a bee.

Huh, just another bee like you

Who has run out of honey.

Do you think you could lend me some honey?

Oh, uh, please.

[ Nervous giggle ]

Hmmm?

Oh-h. Did you get the honey yet?

Shhh. I'm working on it.

Oh-h.

I don't think the bee thinks I'm a bee.

Oh, hamilton, you make a fine bee.

Try flapping your arms

And running around a bit, hamilton.

That would look even more bee-like.

Okay.

Buzz-zz. Buzz. Buzz.

Yes. That's it.

Buzz-zz-zz.

Buzz-zz-zz-zz.

Buzz. Buzz, buzz, buzz. [ Chuckle ]

[ Humming ]

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz?

[ Chuckle ]

Keep buzzing, hamilton. Shhh.

Uh, buzz-zz? Buzz?

Buzz. Hmmm.

Buzzzzzz.

[ Gasp ]

[ Spitting ]

[ Buzzing of effort ]

[ Buzzing of effort ]

Oh. Oh, thank you, your majesty.

Oh, many, many thanks.

Oh, um, buzz, buzz.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

[ Moaning ] that sure was frightening.

Gee, hamilton,

I don't know what you were afraid of.

She looked kind of nice to me.

Hmph!

Anyway, the important thing is

We got the honey. We got the honey.

Yay. Hooray.

Yeah, that goes for me too.

[ Laughter ]

[ ♪♪♪ ]

[ Giggle ] say, bees,

Your antennae are very bee-coming. [ Giggle ]

[ Chuckle ] very funny.

Well, for our tea party,

I think everything has turned out just bee-eautifully.

Yippee. Hooray.

Oo-ooh, me too.
