02x23 - Birthday Boy

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

Hey h*, it's

everybody say hello.

There and sweet and the cold suit.

[Music]

There'll be fun with the terrible.

Just you wait and see.

It's sie and company

and company.

Look at this. Sweep being still and calm

reading a book. I must say it makes a

change. He's normally bouncing up and

down like a jack in a box. Whereas today

it's Sie who's doing the bouncing.

You're certainly in a good mood then,

Sy. Uh, any particular reason? Good.

Well, are you going to tell us? Oh, it's

a special day. Really? And uh are you

going to tell us what's so special about

it? No. Oh, I see. You want us to guess,

do you? H Well, we've got a little

guessing game. Si asked Sweep if he

knows why today is a special day.

Is it Christmas Day? Says Sweep. Of

course it's not Christmas Day, you

sausage brain, says Suti. and he decides

to go and see if he can get more sense

out of Sue.

Ah, talking of Sue, here she is. Good

morning, Sue.

Is it?

What? Oh, dear. I don't think Sue is in

a very good mood. I wonder if we should

try and warn Si not to uh Uh-oh. Too

late. He's here. Hi there, says the poor

unsuspecting Suty. Can you guess what

day it is today?

Can I guess what day it is today? Yes, I

can. I expect that today, like all other

days, is National Let's Make a sl*ve of

a Panda Day. Or failing that, it must be

Let's leave our socks on the floor

because Sue will tidy them up day. No,

no, no, no, no. I know what it is. It's

all pretend that we've got terribly

important things to do and Sue will put

our breakfast on the table. Day. Or is

it? Hang on. This is it. This is it.

This is it. It's I'm sorry. I simply

have to go to the toilet and leave Sue

to do the clearing off a wash of dishes.

day.

Si decides to ask someone else why today

is a special day. H why wise choice Siy

does anybody know what date it is? Just

a minute. There's a paper here. Hang on.

Just have a look. Yes. Yes. You see now

that date that date means something.

Something important is happening today.

But what is it? What is it? What it is

is it Christmas Day? No. No, it isn't.

What is it? What is it? What is it?

Ah, now could this be it? Could this be

the something special about today? Today

is the day that Scampy launches his new

boat. H if it is, then I'm afraid it

will be delayed for a few minutes cuz

here comes Suty. Uh, can I have a word,

please, says Suty? Certainly, says

Scampy. What is it? Well, it's about

today, says Suty. It's a very important

day, and I was just wondering if you

knew why. Scampy has a think for a

moment. And then his mighty mental

powers swing into motion. It's not

Christmas Day, is it? He asks. No, it

isn't, says Suti. Mother's Day, says

Scampy. No, says Suti. Pancake day. No,

says Suti. Good Friday. No, Friday. No.

Si can see he's getting nowhere. So, he

decides to leave. And Scampy decides

that since he can't put his finger on

why today is so special, he'll finish

off his boat

[Music]

there. That should do it. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Let's hope Scampy can put his finger on

that.

The honor, is that you?

What are you up to? Uh,

we've got this delivery to sort out this

morning. Some interesting new stock.

Actually, Rich has just gone to help the

guys unload the rest. What are you up

to?

What? No, no, nothing. No, I was uh No,

I was just going to come and help you in

the shop, but you know, I've got this

niggling feeling.

Well, go to the chemist. I'm sure

they'll have something you can rub on

it.

No, not that sort of feeling. Look,

listen, have a look at that delivery

note. Now, what does that date mean?

Huh?

It means today is the day the delivery

arrives.

No, no, not that. No, it it means

something. I mean, today is a very

important day, but I don't know why.

What is it? What is it?

What

is it? Christmas day.

Lyanna, that is the silliest suggestion

you could make.

Is it payday?

Cancel what I just said. That is the

silliest suggestion you could make.

Listen, you stay here and mind the shop.

I'll go and ask Richard why today is

important. Okay. Oh, and um listen,

Lyanna, I mean, you're doing very well.

You know, you and Richard, I mean, I

know you're just trainy shopkeepers, but

you are pulling it together really well.

My my one criticism of you is that you

must stop doing silly things. You know,

coming out with really silly things. I

mean, you wouldn't catch an experienced

shopkeeper like me saying or doing

anything silly now, would you? So, you

just think about that. Okay.

Yeah. Okay, I will.

Oh, Matthew,

what?

You're about to go out in your night

shirt.

It's very good. Sorry. Sorry. Just going

to get changed. Got to get dressed. Got

to get dressed. Silly me. Silly. Silly

me.

Ha, look at this. Some people are in a

hurry and others seem to have all the

time in the world.

Got to get dressed. Got to get dressed.

Got to get dressed. Got to get dressed.

And Si is one of the latter. He

certainly seems to have lost all that

bounce he had earlier on. Are you

feeling a bit down, Si? Oh dear. And is

this just because nobody seems to know

why today is such a special day?

Well, it can't be that serious, whatever

it is. Anyway, you're a clever little

bear, so put us out of our misery. Come

on. Come on. Why is today such a special

day? H Come on, tell us. Tell us. What's

that? Oh, I know what that is. That's

the card I sent to you on your last

birthday, isn't it? Yeah, that was

nearly a year ago. Almost to the day,

actually, isn't it? Hey, that means that

it's your birthday. Quite

today is your birthday.

I don't believe it. Today is Sut's

birthday and we've all forgotten about

it. Sweep, sweep. You know, Sutie was

asking you what was special about today.

Yeah. Well, when is it your birthday?

Next month. That's right. And when is it

Sue's birthday?

Last month. That's right. And Scamp is

April the 1st. Correct. Now, when is it

S's birthday?

It's Sie's birthday. I think we've got

him.

Sue's still soaking in the bath. I

wonder how long it will take her to

realize it's Sie's birthday.

[Music]

For goodness sake, wait. Shut up. Good.

Now, speak slowly. What are you trying

to say?

Fine. It's S's birthday.

It's S's birthday. S's birthday.

You know, Richard, Matthew's got me

worried.

Don't worry, Lyanna. Matthew worries a

lot of people.

No, but seriously, what if he was right?

What if today is a really important day,

but we just can't think what it is? What

if we're forgetting something really

vital?

Lanna, as long as we don't forget to put

these boxes out in the yard, um,

everything will be fine. Come on.

Oh, right. Yes. Sorry. There we are.

That's a good load.

Right. Yeah. I'll just take this slot

out then. Well, for your information,

the reason why today is such an

important day is because today is Sut's

birthday.

All right. Yes,

it's Sie's birthday. It's Sut's

birthday. It's Sie's birthday.

Well, people are catching on fast, but

little cousin Scampy still doesn't know

that it's Sut's birthday. I bet he'll

fall through the floor when he finds

out. Uh, Scampy, um, did you realize

that today is Sut's birthday?

You see what I mean?

You know, they say that when you're a

child, it's the best time of your life.

Well, that's not true, isn't it? Because

when you're a child, you don't shave.

And if you don't shave, you don't use

shaving cream. And if you don't use

shaving cream, you can't do this. And

this is excellent fun.

What is it, sweet? What is it? What?

Oh, you know why today is so important.

Go on and amaze me, sweet. Why is today

so important?

It's Sut's birthday. Fine. Well,

today S's birthday. I'm going to tell

everybody.

Well, as the tension is mounting inside

the shop, the paos is mounting outside

the shop. Look at this. You don't get

much more pathetic than this.

A tearful teddy. Sie is feeling really

sorry for himself because he thinks that

no one has remembered his birthday. is

having serious thoughts about leaving

home.

It's birthday.

That's better. Right now, we all know

it's S's birthday and we've all

forgotten it. Right. Right.

Right. Right.

So, we need to move fast to put things

right. Right.

Right.

So, I suggest that we organize a special

surprise for him. Something he'll never

ever forget.

Yeah. Great. Like a kiss or a pandagram.

or a sausage. Graham, thank you for

sharing that thought with us, sweetie.

All that stuff's been done before. We

need something different.

Well, what do you suggest, Richard?

Uh ah. Well, I once saw this film and

they had a great idea. You see, they had

this huge big birthday cake. They

wheeled it in and somebody just jumped

out of the cake, you know, as a

surprise.

Richard, that sounds great. Now,

Richard, it's your idea. So, who goes in

the cake?

Uh, you know what we'll do? We'll draw

straws. Now, the person that gets the

shortest straw is the one that goes

inside the cake.

That sounds fair enough. What do you

say, Matthew?

Absolutely. I'm up for that.

Okay. Ladies first. Sue straws.

You can take the first one.

You want You're next.

How long?

It could be about to go in the cake. Go

in the cake.

How long is this?

I think it may be you. It may be.

My turn now.

Oh, not me.

Sweet.

Scampy, which one do you want?

Go on.

Blue or red?

That the red one.

Red one. Red one.

How long's this one?

You're definitely going in the cage.

Look at that. It's tiny.

That's right, sweetheart. Unless yours

is smaller.

All right. All right. Well, let's see

how long mine is. I'm hoping for a long

one. Hoping for a long one. Hoping.

Look at that. Well, I win. So,

that's not fair.

Come on, Matthew. It is S's birthday.

What does it matter?

Yeah. All right. I'll go in the cake.

My good man. Now, listen, everybody. We

all need to go downtown and get the

birthday boys some presents. While we're

there, we'll get everything we need to

make the cake. Right. Right. Right.

Case. Right. It's wagons roll.

Si is still very sad and he's hoping

that his friends will suddenly rush out

and wish him happy birthday.

Oh, hi Suty. Sorry, can't stop. Got to

fly. Got things to do.

Oh, hello there, Sie. You wouldn't mind

looking after the shop for a minute,

would you? Skypy and I have something

important to see to mustache. Hi.

Hi, Sie. Sorry, can't stop. You know how

it is. Go, go, go. Sweep. You're meant

to be with me. Heal, boy. Heal.

Hi, Sy.

Bye, Sorty.

[Music]

So, that's it. Everyone is busy, busy,

busy. And they left poor little Suty

lonely, lonely, lonely. As city looks

around the empty shop, he thinks that

all his socalled friends couldn't care

less about him.

[Music]

Well, having felt sorry for himself in

the shop, Si decides to feel sorry for

himself in the kitchen. Life just isn't

fair.

I mean, here I am all alone on my

birthday, mutters Suti as he climbs the

stairs.

I may as well pack my bags and leave, he

says,

and he does.

But before he leaves, there are some

friends that he wants to say goodbye to.

You're my only true friends, says Suti

sadly. You haven't deserted me and

forgotten my birthday. But the truth is

the mice have forgotten his birthday,

and they're not the slightest bit

interested in a yellow teddy bear with a

sad tear in his eye. So Suti sadly takes

his leave. His mind is made up. He's

going to leave home.

That was a lovely shopping trip, wasn't

it, Sue?

It certainly was. And we've got some

excellent presents for Sy, haven't we,

boys?

Good. And I've got all the stuff we need

to make the cake. Do I actually have to

get inside the cake?

Of course you have to, Matthew. You're

the big birthday surprise. Come on,

sweet. Come and help me organize the

party in the yard.

Yeah. Well done, you guys. Matthew, get

with me. We'll get working on that cake.

Right. Right.

Uh, what do you want me to do, Richard?

Well, Sue, you stay here and if Sy

arrives, don't let him leave and don't

let him come into the yard. Just do

anything you can to delay him. Right.

Right.

Right. Come on, Matthew. Into the yard.

Right, right, right, right,

right. So, I've got to keep Sy here and

not let him leave. I've to do anything I

can to delay him. Oh, Sy, there you are.

I was just talking about you. Who, too?

Well, no one really. I was just chatting

to myself.

What's the suitcase for?

Oh, you're leaving home? Leaving home?

No, you can't. You can't do that, Sy. I

can't let you leave. Why do you want to

leave home anyway?

Because you're unhappy.

Oh. Oh. Well, we can soon fix that. I

can cheer you up. Watch this.

See this? This is a good old custard

pie. And just watch what this silly

Billy of a band is going to do here. Are

you ready for this? Are you? Are you?

And the

I've slipped.

Silly old me. Bet that's made you smile,

hasn't it, Sy?

No. Oh, well, what about this then, Sy?

And

I've done it again. How stupid. No.

Well, have you heard the one about the

parrot in the rubber glove, Sy? It's a

very Oh, you've heard it. Stone the

crows.

What am I doing? Well, I'm trying to

keep Sy amuse sweep, but despite my best

efforts, he is still definitely Mr. Grim

lips.

Everything's ready in the yard. Really?

Hey, but this is great news. Come on,

Sie. Forget custard pies. We've got a

much better way to cheer you up. Lead

on, sweet. Follow us and prepare

yourself for a big surprise. Sy,

he's here. Hooray.

Hooray.

Happy birthday, Si. Happy birthday to

you. Happy birthday to you. Happy

birthday, dear Sy.

Happy birthday to you.

There now, Sy. You see, we didn't forget

your birthday after all. We've arranged.

Oh, he's crying. What's the matter, Syi?

He's probably just overcome with

emotion, Sue.

Yeah, you're upset that Matthew isn't

here.

Oh, what? I nearly forgot. All right,

stay there you lot and watch this now.

You thought that Matthew wasn't here but

he is. Come on Matthew.

Come on Matthew. Sorry Sy Matthew is

actually in here. But uh Matthew Matthew

where are you?

Perhaps the cake mixture is stopping him

from hearing the cake mixture. Oh, don't

be silly. Sweep. It's not a real cake.

There isn't any cake mixture in there.

There is?

What do you mean there is, sweep? Who'd

be silly enough to fill a false cake

full of cake mixture?

Please filled it full of cake mix. Oh,

no. Quickly, Richard.

Oh, Matthew.

Happy birthday, Suki.
