01x12 - Ze Worm Whisperer/Love You, Michael Bluejáy

[bunniefuu]

That's me, Fred the housecat.

When my family leaves for the day,

I don't just sit inside watching the world go by.

I become...

Nature Cat, backyard explorer extraordinaire!

Ha ha! Nothing like a nature workout to start the day!

And become strong like the mighty oak!

(Grunting)

Uh, strong like...

like this here mighty oak!

(Struggling)

One! Two! Three!

Four! Five!

Thanks, Hal!

Anytime, Nature Cat!

Oopsy.

Eee! I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait!

Hurry!

Hey! Where's everyone going?

To see Michael Bluejáy!

Oh! He's the dreamiest!

ALL: Michael Bluejáy! Ahh!

His concert's today.

Red Rock Boondock, two hours! See ya there!

Michael... Bluejáy... is singing... today?!

Ahhh!

BOTH: Michael Bluejáy!

Man, oh, man!

Michael Bluejáy!

I know! Can you believe it!?

The Michael Bluejáy!

Wait, one question.

Who's Michael Bluejáy?

This... is Michael Bluejáy!

This and this and this...

and this little guy here.

And this is a bobble head.

That's a picture. It's signed, autographed.

I wasn't there, but I purchased it online.

Man, oh, man, it's always been a dream of mine

to see him in person!

Imagine singing along with Michael Bluejáy!

Yes yes yes! Today's the day, g*ng!

Come on!

We gotta get to the concert at the Red Rock Boondock!

Hold on, Nature Cat! Nature Cat!

Do we even know where the Red Rock Boondock is?

Um... no?

Okay, let's see. Um...

Oh! Here it is!

Red Rock Boondock is on the Sunnyside Hiking Trail!

The Sunnyside Hiking Trail, hmm?

Ah, the concert's so far away,

at the end of Sunnyside Hiking Trail.

If we're going on a long hike to somewhere we've never been,

we definitely need to be prepared!

Okey dokey, this is what we'll need for the hike.

Lots of water.

Snacks.

Sunscreen.

Bug spray.

And I got the compass, camera, and whistles.

Wait, what are the whistles for, Daisy?

Well, if you need help, you blow it three times very loudly.

So now we have everything we need, yes?

Absolutely, Squeeks.

We are good to go!

Ha ha ha! Michael Bluejáy, here we come!

Onward and yonward!

Michael Bluejáys!

Hey, Nature Cat!

Sunnyside Hiking Trail is that way!

We're coming, Michael Bluejáy!

Cool!

Sweet!

Awesome!

Ha ha! We're almost there! I can feel it!

Me too! Me too! Me too!

Nothing can stop us now!

Look out!

ALL: Aah!

Whoa!

Oh, there you are! I've been looking all over for you.

Thanks for finding my little Sammy.

Oh! Ha ha-- 'Twas nothing, dear fox!

But so sorry, we can't stay to chat!

We're going to the Michael Bluejáy

at the Red Rock Boondock.

We have to hurry or we'll be late.

Just stay on this trail, it'll take you right there.

Careful, though, it's easy to get lost.

Thank you, Mama Fox.

Onward and yonward!

Hello, down there!

Hello, up there!

We're going to the concert!

So are we!

Better hurry, you don't want to miss it!

Huh. Must be a shortcut!

Wait, what if it's not?

I'll leave a trail of breadcrumbs

in case we gotta come back this way.

Onward and shortcut-ward!

Um... just one small question.

Not really anything too important or anything,

but what happened to the hiking trail?

Oh, no, I have a feeling we left it way back there somewhere.

Hey, don't worry guys!

It's not a big deal.

I've been leaving a breadcrumb trail behind me.

We'll just follow the crumbs back to where we were.

Hey, yeah! Let's just follow the breadcrumb--

Oh, whoopsie...

Hal! You ate our trail!

What? You know I can't pass up bread crumbs.

Oh, there's another one!

How are we going to find our way back?

No need to panic.

Just stay calm...

We're gonna miss the concert!

And we're lost!

Lost? Wait, like we don't know where we are, lost?

I don't wanna be lost!

I don't wanna be lost! I don't wanna be lost!

Me either! There's gotta be a trail somewhere!

We've gotta find it!

Stop!

Why are we stopping?!

Because my mom taught me, when I was baby,

that if I got lost, I needed to stop.

Stop, then think,

observe, and plan.

S: Stop.

T: Think.

O: Observe.

And P: Plan.

S.T.O.P. Hm, certainly makes sense to me.

Okay. Well, we've done the "stop" part.

What's next, Squeeks?

Now we think.

I think we're still lost.

Now what?

Think of other things, Hal,

like which way did we come from to get here?

BOTH: That way!

That way!

That way?

Hey, I know!

The pictures I took! They'll certainly show us things

that'll tell us where we were, and where we came from.

And that was the last picture I took.

Ha ha! I remember passing that tree...

And there it is!

So we came from that a-way!

Here we come, Michael Bluejáy!

Wait!

I'll tie yarn pieces as we go.

That way, if we see it again,

we'll know we've gone in circles.

Great thinking, Daisy.

Now, onward and yonward!

The concert's going to be starting soon!

We've gotta be near the hiking trail!

Oh no, you guys... look!

We've already been here.

Man, oh, man... we've walked in a circle!

Now what do we do!?

(Whistle blowing)

Oh, was that good?

Hal! You're a genius!

Again! I'm a genius! Whatever that is.

Okay, everyone blow, three times!

(Blowing three times)

Again!

(Blowing three times)

Oh! Hello there!

Is everything okay?

We heard whistles.

We can't find the Sunnyside Hiking Trail,

which means we can't get to the concert,

which means we won't see Michael Bluejáy.

Oh! Well, follow us!

Welcome back to the Sunnyside Hiking Trail!

Oh, thank you, Mama Fox.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Oh! Well, okay!

Now just follow the trail.

This trail!

NATURE CAT: To the concert!

We made it! We made it! We made it!

(Laughing)

MICHAEL: Thank you and goodnight!

BIRDS: What a concert!

Michael Bluejáy was amazing!

What's hap-- No way!

What is happening?

We missed it.

We missed the concert.

Sorry, guys. I just-- I just messed up and--

and got us lost.

It's all my fault.

It's okay, Nature Cat.

There's always next year.

I'm sure Michael Bluejáy will be back.

I haven't left yet

M-M-M-Michael... B-B-B-Bluejáy?

You're here?! It's Michael Bluejáy!

Ahhh!

What-- what-- what he said!

Is that really you?

You look better than in the magazines.

Yep. Feathers and all.

Sorry we missed your concert.

Me, too.

I heard how you got lost and what you said.

It takes a big cat to admit when he's wrong.

Yes, well, I was wrong, boy was I.

Let's see if we can fix this, huh?

Hey, guys. How about an encore!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

getting dirty is noble and fun!

Okay!

Uh, thanks, Hal.

Man, oh, man, this looks great!

Yes, yes! We'll do whatever it takes

to help you expand your garden!

And make more room to grow sunflowers!

I love sunflower seeds!

Yes sir, that's my garden!

That's great and all, but I'm not growing anything here

unless we improve this soil first.

Hmm...

What my new garden really needs are worms.

Worms? I mean...

is that really necessary?

I love worms! They're my digging buddies!

The bonds of digging buddies can never be broken.

Yeah, worms are really good for soil.

Daisy's garden won't do very well without them.

We need to find some right away!

Wormless!

We'd better split up: to the worms!

ALL: Onward and yonward!

Wormward... ugh.

Seen-- any-- worms?

(Belching)

No worm here!

No worm there.

Nothing here, guys!

Oh well, good try, everybody!

I guess we're just plum out of worms. Let's go home!

I have an idea!

Never fear!

Ze Worm Whisperer is here!

Uh, Hal?

Who is zis Hal you speak of?

I am ze Worm Whisperer!

Worm Whisperer?

No! "Ze" Worm Whisperer!

This is my superpower,

to find and communicate with ze worms!

Wait, worms speak French?

What?

Observe!

Hoo-hoo... mes amis...

Come to ze Worm Whisperer!

Voila!

Aah!

Bonjour, my wormy friend!

It is I, ze Worm Whisperer!

(Worm whispering)

Oui, oui...

He would be happy to go into Daisy's new garden!

Perfect!

Thanks, Hal-- er, I mean... ze Worm Whisperer!

You're not going to use your hands there--

Okay, you just did.

Really, no gloves?

No need!

Thanks, Nature Cat!

Worms are nature's recyclers.

They eat dead stuff, like old leaves,

it comes out as, um, well...

it comes out as worm poop that's great for plants and soil.

Brilliant worm work, one and all!

Oh, one worm isn't enough, Nature Cat.

We'll need a whole bunch of worms!

A whole bunch of worms... bleh...

But where do we find them?

We looked everywhere.

Even ze Worm Whisperer only found one!

A moment!

To ze woods!

Let's do it!

Worms here we come!

Worms.

Why'd it have to be worms?

Hey, look!

There are a lot of plants over here.

The soil must be really healthy!

And healthy soil means--

Worms!

Look in dark and damp places, you guys!

They like that!

All right.

Just need to look under some rocks.

I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna lift the rock and find a worm--

No! I don't want to find a worm...

Oh nope, but I gotta do it!

We need a lot of worms for Daisy's garden.

And they're right under this rock,

which I don't want to pick up!

Ohh, but I've got to!

I've got to-- to expand the garden!

No, I won't! Yes, I will! No, I won't--

All right!

I'll do it for Daisy!

No worms. That wasn't so bad.

No worms!

No worms there!

Not there! Nope!

For... Daisy...

Aaahh!

Squeeks? Daisy? Hal?

Come here, please?

Please, please, please, please, pretty please?

I'm saying pretty please! I'm using my nice words.

Please come and get this worm away from my face!

Whoa, nice work, Nature Cat!

Yes. I found him.

Hooray. Great news.

Now would somebody take him away, please?!

Oh, excellent. Another one!

Don't! It could att*ck us at any moment!

(Screaming)

Nature Cat, Worms don't bite.

They don't even have teeth!

Ho, ho, ho!

Ze worm says it would love to be a part of Daisy's new garden!

They're wet, too?!

Um, I'll pass.

On to ze next one!

Next one?!

Aha! Since it is so dry in these parts,

many worms are deep in ze dirt where it is still damp!

We go to them!

♪ Alouette ♪

♪ Bappa-doopy-doopy ♪

♪ Alouette ♪

♪ I don't know ze words ♪

Worms!

Show me the wormies!

Let's go!

Tally... ho?

Ze worm, voila!

See? As worms tunnel, they turn the soil over like a plow.

They drag pieces of decaying plants

into the soil and eat 'em.

And then when they poop,

they add important nutrients to the soil.

And that's why I need worms in my garden!

Zey are nature's great recyclers!

Oui oui! Ze worms say zey would love to join your garden!

Aww, schucks! Thanks, guys!

Wow!

Man, oh, man! This is definitely enough worms for my garden!

Oui, oui!

Yeah... interesting... all right...

Zey say zat we must make sure zat zere is enough food

and plant matter for zem in ze new garden!

Oh! I almost forgot!

We'd better get back fast and set up!

You guys go. Nature Cat and I will bring the worms back.

We will?

See you guys back at the garden!

Come on, Nature Cat,

we've got to get these li'l guys back to the yard.

Aww, perfect!

Great job, Squeeks!

You too, Nature Cat!

Uh, hey, Squeeks...

these guys aren't looking so good.

What do you mean?

I mean, not that worms are a sight to behold anyway,

but look!

They aren't as shiny as they were before.

SQUEEKS: Yeah, and they're not wiggling as much.

A sluggish worm simply will not do for Daisy's garden.

They look kind of dry...

Maybe worms go underground, because it's damp there

and that way they won't dry out in the sun!

They need some damp soil!

We saved them!

Ha ha! Yes indeedy!

Now we've got to get these worms to their new home.

Tally ho!

Ha ha, nothing can stop us now!

(Bird calling)

Not on my watch, birds!

Follow me!

♪

Ha ha!

Ugh!

There there, little worm. You're safe now!

We got the worms!

Yes!

Oui oui! Ha ha ha!

What is zees?

Nature Cat did what?

Saved you all?

Twice?!

Well, you know,

worms are important, and...

kinda cute.

Well, the garden's ready for them!

Welcome home, you guys!

Bye Jesse, and Frances, and Brad, and Linda!

Don't forget to write!

And remember to eat your veggies!

Sorry, they just grow up so fast.

And a special thanks to ze Worm Whisperer!

Hey, where'd he go?

Oh, hey guys! What'd I miss today?

Hey, look worms!

Where did they come from?

Ze wink, ze wink...
