01x03 - The Treasure of Bad Dog Bart/Pet Sounds

[bunniefuu]

That's me, Fred the house cat.

When my family leaves
for the day,

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

(Door closing)

I become...

Nature Cat, backyard explorer
extraordinaire.

Tally-ho!

Tally-ho! Ha-ha!

Onward and yonward!

Woo-hoo!

It's me, Hal!

I'm flying!

Move over, boys!
I'm coming through.

Windy days are certainly perfect
for kite flying!

I know, it must be because
windy days are so windy!

Here I am! I'm here!

I got my kite!
What do I do?

Just let your kite
take flight, Squeeks!

The secret is the wind.

Shh...

I'm not sure why though.

Okay, just put your back
to the wind,

wait for a gust,
and let your kite go!

Hmm, okay, looks easy enough!

Back to the wind,
wait for a gust

and let your kite go...

Aaahh!

Squeeks?!

Not on my watch, Squeeks!

Ha ha!

Gotcha!

But who's got me?

Yipes!

I gotcha Nature Cat!

Whoa... little help!

Don't worry, I gotcha!

I think...

SQUEEKS:
Don't let go!

Never!

We'll have you down
in a jiffy, Squeeks!

Ha ha! I've got--

Whoa!

Oh, help!

No time to waste!
Squeeks needs our help!

Onward and yonward!

Oh, help!

Come on, Squeeks, you can do it!
You can do it.

You... can... do... it.

Oh! Whoa!

Ha ha!

Yeah!

Go Squeeks!

Good job, little mouse.

Oh, please hold on, Squeeks!

What he said!

Aw man! Ahh! Ha ha!

Water, why'd it
have to be water?

Hang on, Squeeks!
Hang on!

What she said!
What she said!

Woo-hoo!
This is unreal, you guys!

Look, I'm flying!

Me, Squeeks! I'm flying!

Woo-hoo!

Squeeks!

Well, I was flying...

but now I'm stuck
in this tree...

on an island...

alone.

Help!

Fear not, Squeeks!

We'll save you!

What he said!

But how?

The question is
how can we get to Squeeks?

Hmm...

We certainly can't swim.

A taxi? No, wait, a bus.

No, a skateboard!
No, wait, a plane!

Oh, wait, a monster truck!

Hmm...

Aha! The wind's pushing that
leaf across the water!

Maybe the wind can push us
across the water too!

Yeah! Let's build
a sailboat!

Wind certainly got Squeeks
into this predicament

and now wind
will get her out of it!

That's why I love wind!

Especially on windy days!

Wink wink.

What I said!

Come on, Squeeks.
You can do this.

Just untangle this.

It's like a necklace.
Just unravel it--

Okay-- ahh!

Oh, no.

Well, take a look-see
at what we got here, Nevin!

And you take a look-see
at what we got here, Kevin!

(Laughing)

Oh, boy.

Okay, let's see here.

To build a sailboat we'll need
some big logs for the boat part,

and a branch for the mast!

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's build our sailboat!

Tally-ho!

♪

BOTH:
Timber!

♪

Okey dokey.

We got the logs
and some branches.

And I got the frog!

What's the frog for?

Moral support!

(Croaking)

See? Gregory says
we're doing a great job

but he's wondering what we're
gonna use for the sail.

Huh. Smart frog.

Hey, remember how
the wind caught our kites

and pushed them
through the air?

Yes! Great idea, Daisy!

Let's use our kites
for the sail! Ha ha!

Tally-ho!

(Croaking)

What's that Gregory?

Oh! He says we're
doing a fabulous job.

Thank you, Gregory.

(Laughing)

Thank you for joining us
tonight, gentlemen.

What'll it be?

BOTH:
Mouse!

Oh, good choice.
Be right back with your order!

BOTH:
Yum!

Heh.
Nice waiter, huh, Nevin.

He sure is, Kevin.

The mouse!

Hear ye, hear ye.

I now christen our sailboat,
"Breezy Rider"!

(Cheering)

(Croaking)

It certainly feels sea-worthy!

Onward and yonward
to save Squeeks!

Ride, Breezy Rider, ride!

So, um, how do we move?

Ha ha... I don't know.
Daisy?

We gotta catch the wind
with the sail.

Which way is the wind blowing.

Ow.

Looks like the wind is
coming from over there!

NATURE CAT:
Look, we're moving!
Ha-ha-ha!

Next stop, the island!

Goodbye, little Gregory!
Keep in touch!

(Croaking)

Land ho...

Ouchy.

Hey, where'd that mouse go?

Oof!

Hey! Watch where
you're flyin', Nevin!

You watch where
you're flyin', Kevin!

BOTH:
We're gonna get the mouse!
We're gonna get the mouse!

No sign of Squeeks anywhere.

Well, at least we're heading
towards the island now!

Nice work, Hal!

Aye-aye, "Capitan"!

Ha-ha-ha!
Nothing can stop us now!

Except no wind.

(Laughing)

Bring it on, you birdbrains!

BOTH:
We're gonna get the mouse!
We're gonna get the mouse!

(Roaring)

(Yelling in fear)

Why aren't we sailing?

Oh hey!

The wind's coming from
another direction now!

Just gotta move the sail
and try to catch the wind.

Like that!

We're sailing! Whee!

We'll be there in
no time, Squeeks!

Land ho!

Ha-ha-ha!

Nothing can stop us now!

Ugh! I gotta stop saying that!

(Roaring)

Uh-oh.

Hey! That was just a kite!

No mouse outsmarts
Kevin and Nevin!

Or Nevin and Kevin!

Yeah, okay them too!

Oh, help!

Help! Nature Cat, help!

Nature Cat,
over here!
Nature Cat!

Ha ha! Gotcha!

If the wind changes direction,

gotta make sure the sail
is catching the wind!

Like so!

Onward and yonward!

We're going the right way!

NATURE CAT:
There she is! Oh, no!

Squeeks is in trouble!
Come on, wind!

Nature Cat!

Got ya, Squeeks!
Ol' buddy, ol' pal!

And I'll serve some justice
to those owls,

Nature Cat style!

(Snickering)

Tally-ho!

This isn't gonna end well,
huh, Nevin?

Yeah, it's not gonna end well
either, huh, Kevin?

Thank you for saving me,
you guys!

Aw, anything for you, Squeeks.

Now what do you say we enjoy
this windy day?

Onward and yonward--

Oh, heh,
hold on a second...

Catching the wind... and...

Ha-ha-ha!

Onward and yonward!

HAL:
What he said!

DAISY:
Legend has it that Swamp Thing
lives deep in the swamp,

and mysteriously appears
when a misty mist rolls in.

You can tell Swamp Thing's near,

by its super stinky smell,

and by the disgusting
gurgly-burpy sounds it makes!

And be ready, because
Swamp Thing will reach out

and grab you with its gnarled
creepy...

Swamp... Thing... hand!

Swamp Thing!

Tell me when it's over.

Tell me when it's over.
Tell me when it's over.

It's over!

Hmmm, oh!

Ha ha, well, yes, I just--
anyway--

Swamp Thing sure seems
like a charming fellow.

A bit misunderstood, perhaps,
but charming nonetheless.

Misunderstood is certainly
right, Nature Cat.

This is the only known video
of Swamp Thing.

Yeah, there's no other proof.

Some say it's real,
some say it's a hoax.

No one knows for sure.

Oh, I know it's true.

My best friend Charlie the dog,

he knows a dog whose best
friend's sister's

best friend's cousin's
best friend's brother

who just so happens to be my
best friend Charlie the dog,

saw the creature!

Gulp!

I've heard some animals say that
they've smelled the stench,

and they've heard the gurgles

and they were almost grabbed by
its creepy, gnarled hand!

Ahh!

Maybe Swamp Thing was just
reaching out his hand

in friendship, perchance?

Look you guys, it's time
to find out once and for all

if Swamp Thing is real or not!

It is? Like, right now?

Yes, and how cool is this?

We can be the first to prove it!

We can? Right now?

It's time to investigate the
swamp and get actual proof.

Who's in?

Count the mouse in!

Me! Me! Oh, me!
Pick me! Pick me!

Hal, you're in!

I'm in too!

To the swamp it is!

But-- Oh, hey--
look at the time!

Well, gotta go back home.

I bid you good day,
and good luck.

Come on, Nature Cat!
We need you.

Yeah, come on, Nature Cat!

Don't worry, we'll stay
close by, we'll protect you.

Protect moi?

Ha-ha-ha! Okay, deal.

To the swamp!

Just stay close,
a little closer, no closer.

Really you
can't be close enough.

That goes for everyone.
Let's huddle up!

DAISY:
Here we are, at the swamp.

Huh. It certainly
doesn't look scary.

It's actually quite beautiful.

Okay, and uh--
(Sniffing)

Smells most interesting.

A rich, intense,
yet earthy aroma.

(Sniffing)

Do I detect a hint
of sweetness? I do!

It's the swamp!

Why, yes, here we are!
The swamp!

And looking for Swamp Thing!

(Nervous laughter)

Tally-ho?

Okay, so how do we go about
finding Swamp Thing?

Oh, I've got this!

Ahem... Swamp Thing?

Oh, Swamp Thing? You here?

Well, he didn't answer
so that's a big no.

Okay, let's go home.
Oh, taxi!

(Croaking)

Swamp Thing!

(Croaking)

Oh, hello, little froggie!

Never fear, little froggie!

I'll protect you
from Swamp Thing!

Swamp Thing?
Did you say Swamp Thing?

Aahh!

What's that?!

(Gurgling)

DAISY:
It's... it's... its...

Swamp Thing!

DAISY:
Wait, that's not Swamp Thing!

It's a muskrat!

How goes it, bub?

The muskrat's nothing to be
scared of Nature Cat.

The swamp is its home.
We're not here to bother it.

Ha-ha...
There, there, big guy.

See? Just a little muskrat.
No need to be frightened.

Oh, thanks!

Hey, I smell something stinky!

(Sniffing)

Ooh, really stinky!

Remember?

Legend says Swamp Thing has a
really stinky smell!

Okay, Hal, lead the way!

Ahem, oh, Nature Cat?

This way.

Oh, right!

I was just going to
circle back around

and meet up with you on the
other side, but I suppose I--

Hey, wait for me!

Oh that stinky smell is so
strong right here, you guys!

Whatever's making that smell
is right behind these bushes!

Oh, I just... hello...

Earth to Nature Cat?
Are you okay?

I think he's sleeping.

Nature Cat, are you okay?

Ah, yes, I had this
awful nightmare

that we were in the swamp
looking for Swamp Thing.

We are!

When I count to three,
you guys part the bushes.

And I'll film.

Great plan,
and I'll get ready to run.

Ready?

One, two, three!

DAISY:
Plants?

Yep, these plants are making
that stinky smell!

Eww, what is it?

Okay, stinky swamp plants.

Here it is!

Skunk cabbage!

I didn't know plants
could smell so bad!

Ooh, the disgusting, gross smell
kinda grows on you.

I like it!

Hey, maybe this plant
is the smell

that the Swamp Thing video
was talking about

and there really
is no Swamp Thing!

Ha-ha! Wouldn't that
be something!

I mean-- ha-ha--
after all this and-- heh heh!

There really is no swamp thing?!

Could you just imag--

(Snarling)

Did you see that?!
Something's over there!

Let's go!

What is that?!

Swamp Thing...

SQUEEKS:
Whoa! It's a heron!

Man, oh, man!

That is so cool!

Whoa!

HAL:
Hey, what gives?!
I can't see the birdie anymore.

SQUEEKS:
Yeah, it's just the mist.

Uh, mist?!

When a misty mist
rolls over the swamp,

Swamp Thing appears!

Yipes!

(Gurgling)

What? That wasn't me!
I swear!

Swamp Thing makes those
gurgle burping noises!

Remember! Closer! Closer!

Cannot be too close.
Can't stress that enough.

The gurgle burping
is coming from over there!

Yipes!

(Gurgling)

Aha!

The swamp water
is making the burp sound!

Interesting, and quite odd!

It's the bubbles.

Ooh! I love bubbles!

Oh, and they smell
like rotten eggs too!

Where are they coming from?

No idea!

It says here, the bubbles come
from tiny living things

that eat the dead plants
on the bottom of the swamp.

SQUEEKS:
Ah, well, they sure burp a lot.

Everyone, gather round!

Everyone! Ahem.

I have a very important
announcement to make!

Excuse me, frog, you might
want to get in on this.

Thanks.

I, Nature Cat, firmly believe
that there is no Swamp Thing!

What?! No, wait!

But, why?! How?!

And why-- There
should be though! Why?!

A few reasons!

One, the stinky smell
came from the skunk cabbage,

not Swamp Thing.

Two, the gurgle burps came from
teeny tiny things

that live in the swamp mud!

Not Swamp Thing.

And three, well, I don't have a
three at the moment but--

Nature Cat?

Let me just finish here.
Thanks, Squeeks.

So in conclusion, I, Nature Cat,

believe there is no such thing
as Swamp Thing!

Um, Nature Cat,
behind you!

Oh, how do you do, kind sir with
the gnarled, creepy hand?

Gnarled, creepy hand?

Swamp Thing!

(Screaming)

Swamp Thing's got me!

Swamp Thing's got me too!

Oh no, Swamp Thing's got me
too, too, also!

(Struggling)

Mother!

Hmm...

Ha-ha! Just as I suspected!

Fear not, I, Nature Cat,
am here to save the day!

Tally-ho!

Nature Cat!

You saved us
from Swamp Thing's hands!

On the contrary, Hal.
These aren't Swamp Thing hands!

These are just tree branches!

The hands are just trees?

So there really is
no Swamp Thing!

I knew it because my best friend
Mary the dog

knows a dog whose
best friend's sister's

best friend's cousin's best
friend's brother

who just so happens to be my
best friend Mary the dog,

said there was no creature!

I, Nature Cat,
hereby proclaim

this swamp is Swamp Thing free!

Woo-hoo! Well, then
what are we waiting for,

let's keep exploring the swamp!

Let's do it!

Onward and yonward!

And so, after proving that
Swamp Thing does not exist,

I am ready to debunk all the
others monster legends:

Bigfoot, Lock Ness Monster,
and Abominable Snowman,

look out!

I'm coming after you.

Ha-ha! Yes, and I'll
be along to help!

Ha-ha-ha!

Nothing scares me anymore!

(Croaking)

Aaahh!

(Croaking)
