02x08 - The Big, Feathered Parade

[bunniefuu]

PETS: Ooh!

Ooh. Imitation ostrich feathers. How stylish.

MINKA: Sleek and so aerodynamic.

Are these for school, Blythe? Because if they are,

they are giving you way too much homework.

No, I kind of just did them for fun,

but then I decided to take a chance

and show them to the parade judges.

Parade? What parade?

Judges? What judges?

What are we talking about?

The judges who choose the designs

for Downtown City's Big Feathered Parade.

And who knows. Maybe I'll even meet Ramon,

the famous Big Feathered Parade designer.

I've never heard of this Big Feathered Parade.

But I'm guessing it's big and feathered and a parade!

I haven't heard of it either. Nor me.

What are we talking about?

The parade is one of the biggest events in Downtown City.

Here, check out the several hundred photos

from the past parades on their website.

( animals chattering )

And I plan on being a part of it.

( upbeat theme playing )

Wow. Cool.

Excuse me. I'm Blythe Baxter.

I did some designs for this year's parade,

and thought maybe you could look at them.

You'll need to fill out the-- Submission form?

Got one online. Here you go.

I see. Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Sorry, miss, but you're too young.

I didn't know there was an age restriction.

It's right there on the submission form.

Where?

Right there in the very, very fine print.

"You must be older to submit parade designs."

Clear as day.

But can't you just look at my designs?

Maybe in a few years. Thank you.

I don't know what harm it would've done

just to look at my designs.

( majestic theme playing )

( gasps )

Ah! It's you!

Yes, it's me.

Ramon, Prince of Plumage

and Artiste de Feathers, in person.

Wow!

I am here to pitch my latest designs to the judges.

I always like to duck through this area on my way in.

Fewer autograph seekers.

Um, I don't see any.

Oh. Must've given them the slip.

( laughs )

Uh, I'm Blythe Baxter.

I did some costume designs

that I wanted to show the judges, but--

( squawks ) What an unusual bird.

This is Desi, a rare, variegated mynah bird.

He is my good luck charm and artistic muse.

You see, I am creatively driven by feathers

and Desi here is a bird.

Do not scoff. This is very deep.

Oh, I would never scoff.

Understand that Desi inspires all of my designs.

I take his raw inspiration and proceed to knock it

completely out of the park,

as they like to say in one of those sports with a park.

( laughs )

Answer the phone. What phone?

( cell phone rings ) Ramon, not in person.

What? Of course I'd love to take a survey,

as long as it's about me.

No? Your loss.

Speaking of designs, I would love to see yours.

You would? Oh, wow!

I'm honored.

I've been drawing all my life

and I just love designing clothes.

Though I admit I've never designed

such elaborate costumes before, but it was a blast.

Hmm, these are very good.

Yes, beyond that, in fact.

Ah! They are talking to me.

And you say the judge did not see these?

No, he wouldn't even take a look

when he found out I was too young.

Heh. Well, rules are rules.

( laughs )

But, do not lose heart, and never stop designing, okay?

There is always next year, or the decade after. Whenever.

( laughs )

Now, I hate to leave you forever,

but it is again my time to shine.

Au revoir-educci.

Who knew there were so many feathery costume photos?

I like them. Whoa!

What's this? Ooh!

This year's parade sponsor is the Iguana Legal Firm!

And we should care about that because...?

Because their mascot, Bruce the Iguana,

is the coolest! Watch.

( upbeat music playing )

Hi, Bruce the Legal Iguana here!

What do you say when you land in big trouble?

I-guana lawyer!

I-guana lawyer!

ALL: I-guana lawyer!

BRUCE: You guana lawyer?

Well, you'll find one at the Iguana Legal Firm!

They get results!

Give them a call for a free consultation.

Ouch! Now, I-guana lawyer!

Bruce is the best spokes-reptile, ever!

Us reptiles gotta stick together.

Sounds like somebody's got a reptile-crush on Bruce.

If you guana see me in person,

I'll be the grand marshal

at this year's Big Feathered Parade.

Be there early. I'm very popular.

Did you guys hear that?

I'd give anything, anything, to meet my hero Bruce.

Hi, guys. How'd it go, Blythe?

Did the judges just adore your designs?

I don't know. They wouldn't even look at them

because I'm too young. That's an outrage.

Well, on the bright side,

I met Ramon, the designer I told you about.

He took a look and loved my designs.

Huh? Blythe, these aren't

the same sketches you showed us before.

The feathers in here are not imitation ostrich.

What the what? These aren't mine.

They look like Ramon's.

And, if I have his designs, that means...

He must have mine!

Well, it's too late to return these now.

I'll have to go back to the parade warehouse tomorrow.

Did you say "parade"? Take me with you!

Take me with you, please!

Bruce the Iguana is this year's grand marshal, and--

And you've just gotta meet him.

It's like you can read my mind. Can you read my mind?

No, just guessing that a gecko might wanna meet an iguana.

And, yes, you can come with me.

Wow! I'm finally gonna meet Bruce.

Bruce... Bruce...

( band playing upbeat music )

Yo, where are you, my reptilian brother?

Who did you say you're looking for?

Ah, thought you'd never ask. Hit it!

Zoe, why don't you hang with Vinnie,

while Minka and I go get my portfolio back.

Come on, Zoe,

let's go find my hero, Bruce.

Ugh.

Look, it's Ramon.

And he's wearing one of my designs.

And he's standing next to a float using my designs.

In fact, he's pretty much applied

my design concepts on every costume and float

in this year's parade.

Well, at least it looks really, really extra feathery

and pretty, pretty, pretty. Ramon was about to show

some all-new designs of his to the judge

just after he saw my stuff.

But instead of all designs he showed them all you designs.

RAMON: No, no, no! More feathers over there!

This must be beyond spectacular! Don't stare at me.

Hi, Ramon. Remember me?

No. Have we met?

Yes, we did. Yesterday!

You were coming in here and I was leaving.

You looked at my designs and ended up taking my portfolio.

That does look like my portfolio.

Maybe it is you that has done the stealing!

( cackling )

VINNIE: Wow! Check it out.

I knew Bruce's float would be spectacular

and it does not disappoint!

( gasps )

Yeah, if we start this parade on time

everything will work with my schedule.

Look, it's Bruce, and he's huge!

Much taller than he looks on TV.

I can't believe it, I'm gonna meet my hero!

Well, first, darling, you gotta get his attention.

Hello?

( Zoe barking ) Ah, great.

Somebody left their pets on the float.

Gotta go. I got no time to waste on fans.

Hit the road! ( cell phone rings )

Start talking.

Listen, I told you I can't make it!

I have a parade to ride in.

Yeah, I'm some sort of grand marshal or something.

Come on, Vinnie. Obviously your hero has no time for us.

Let's go.

It's really him.

( chattering ) Excuse me.

Remember me from yesterday? Ah, yes.

The young lady too young to enter her designs.

But apparently, not too young to get her designs stolen

and used on every single part of this year's parade.

I beg your pardon?

I showed my designs to Ramon on my way out yesterday,

and today, when I came back to get them,

I find they've been worked into every float and costume.

Young lady, the great Ramon would never steal from you.

Why don't you take this complimentary ticket

and enjoy the Big Feathered Parade from the bleachers?

No, thanks. Blythe Baxter does not sit on the sidelines.

I have to prove that Ramon stole my designs.

( squawking )

Ouch!

That bird is so loud with his "Awk, awk, awking!"

That's Desi, Ramon's mynah bird.

Maybe he can help us. ( squawks )

Minka, climb up there and try to talk him into coming down.

I do love a good climb.

( yelps )

Hi, Desi. I'm Minka. ( squawks )

Oh. You're a monkey.

And you're a bird, and down there,

that's Blythe, she's a person.

But she's super-special because she can understand us pets.

Anyway, she really needs your help.

Someone needs my help?

Yes, Blythe. Didn't I just say that?

I thought I just said that. Oh, well...

Blythe needs to know if you saw your owner Ramon

stealing her costume designs for the parade.

This big feathery one.

I don't know if I can trust you, or this Blythe,

and my Ramon would not be very happy if I tattled on him.

Aha! So there is something to tattle about.

No, no, no! I didn't say that,

you did, you tricky monkey.

Hey, what happened to your feathers?

Aah! I am so embarrassed about my bald patch.

I don't want to tell you how it happened

because Ramon would not like that.

Oh. Sounds like you're afraid of him.

It sounds like that because it is that.

I bet Blythe could help you with that.

She does feather restoration? No, not that I know of,

but she does design stuff for us pets all the time.

She could make you a tiny feathery hat.

To cover your bald patch.

One, two. One, two.

Aw, my joints are all stiff again.

Are you pets still here?!

Scat! Your owners are calling you!

Aww. He cares. BRUCE: Ow!

Calcification. That's what I got going on.

Hey, I'm thirsty!

Grab me the biggest water bottle you can find

and you get to ride this float with a star!

Ah! Did you hear that Zoe?

All I gotta do is bring Bruce a huge bottle of water

and I get to ride on the float with him!

It'll be a very recent dream come true. Ha-ha!

Hmm. Sounds simple enough.

Let's go!

( Minka gibbering )

RAMON: Are you still here, little girl?

I have just one question for you, Ramon.

Why is your bird afraid of you?

( gasps )

"Why is your bird afraid of you?"

You have absolutely no business being here!

I'm getting my friend, Mr. Warehouse Officer,

to bodily remove you!

( dramatic theme playing )

Way too small.

Still too small.

Ugh! Two dozen dinky bottles won't cut it.

Bruce requested the biggest water bottle I can find.

And I'm gonna find it!

Desi, how did you lose your feathers?

I normally molt once a year

and Ramon takes my fallen feathers to use in his designs.

I hate to admit it, but that's kind of cool.

But sometimes, Ramon gets me so stressed,

it causes my feathers to fall out before they're ready to go.

Okay, that is so not cool.

No, it is not. I'll help you with Ramon,

and I'll design something to help you with your patchiness.

A teeny-tiny feathery hat, right?

Right. Oh! If you do that,

I'll tell you all you want to know about Ramon.

I just need to know if you saw him stealing my designs.

He was having trouble coming up with something new

and envelope-shattering fabulous for the parade.

When he saw your designs, he liked them more than his own,

so he showed them to the judge and said they were his.

Here she is, Mr. Warehouse Officer!

Escort her out.

Not so fast! Desi has something to say.

My mynah bird has something to say?

( dramatic theme playing )

( whimpering and squawking )

Desi, tell everyone about Ramon.

Awk! Love Ramon!

( squawks )

What the--? Why?

But Mr. Warehouse Officer, you don't understand!

Ramon did steal my designs.

Oh, ha-ha! Silly girl.

You just mistook my fabulous portfolio for yours.

Here's yours.

Not the least bit fabulous, I might add.

Of course. You tore my sketches out.

How dare you!

Awk! Turn the page!

Turn the page! Awk!

Ah! Desi's feathers.

Hey! You're supposed to be leaving!

( suspenseful theme playing )

Nothing.

Zilch.

Oh! Nada.

Vinnie, not to say that pointing to containers of water

hasn't been fun, but we've looked everywhere.

Maybe we should just forget it? ( truck horn beeps )

( vehicle approaching )

( dramatic theme playing )

( Zoe gasps )

Look, judge, this is my sketchbook. See?

Yes. And I found these inside,

after I got it back from Ramon. Desi's feathers.

There's no way I could have gotten his feathers.

Awk! It's true! Awk!

Hmm...

These two pages are stuck together.

Probably too much glue on the feathers.

What are you doing?!

Hey! Don't you realize

that water breaks down my delicate,

homemade, secret solvent?

Your homemade secret solvent, Ramon?

Yes, it is my very own concoction, and--

Crazy girl, why am I even talking to you?

I demand you throw her out!

( all chattering )

Sorry, Ramon,

we've decided that you're the one we're throwing out.

What?!

It's clear that you stole

this very talented young lady's costume designs

and used them throughout the entire parade.

Your own bird even backs it up!

( squawks )

I-guana lawyer!

( squawks )

I-guana new owner! Awk!

Blythe, You may be young, but you're also very talented.

We've decided to let everyone know

that you were this year's parade designer.

( triumphant theme playing )

Oi! I'm still thirsty!

Where's that bottle of water that I asked for?

( rumbling )

Wait no longer, Bruce!

When the student is ready, the giant water bottle will appear.

( dramatic theme playing )

Whoa!

It's that pesky gecko again.

Oi, lizard, I thought I told you to get lost!

You heard me, b*at it!

You've made a mess of everything!

Hey! Let go of that!

Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

Ah, nuts.

What is going on here?

Career choice meltdown.

I play Bruce the Legal Iguana wearing this silly,

uncomfortable suit.

Bruce is a virtual iguana?

My hero isn't real?

BRUCE: No amount of discount legal service is worth this.

Enough selling out!

I've gotta go open a supermarket as a circus clown.

Whoa. Morgan just quit?

Now what are we gonna do?

Bruce is our grand marshal!

BLYTHE: I have an idea.

( band playing upbeat rhumba music )

( crowd cheering )

Ladies and gentlemen,

let's give it up for Bruce the Legal Iguana!

( crowd cheering )

( blowing kisses )

Looks like I'm my own hero.

Vinnie's really having fun.

He sure is.

And Desi told me he love, love, loves

the headdress you made him.

BLYTHE: And he loves his new owner too.

( squawks ) Ha-ha!

Looks like those two are birds of a feather.

Heh. Oh, Zoe.
