01x06 - There's Gold in Them Thar Hills/Nature Cat and Mr. Hide

[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!

Tally-ho!

One, two, three, four!

Four skips!

A very good toss for Squeeks!

But she'll have to do
much better

if she's gonna win the Stone
Skipping World Championship!

Squeeks selects another
flat skipping stone.

Okay, here's her final toss.

She lines up.

She takes aim.

And... it's off!

One, two, three,
four, five, six!

Six skips!

Oh, she did it!

Squeeks did it, folks!

A new world record for Squeeks!

Oh! Woo!

Oh! Whoa...

What's that?

Gold?

Could this really be gold?

(Hollering)

There's gold in them thar hills!

You guys, I think I found gold!

Yaahh!

It's gold!
It's gotta be!

Oof.

What do you think?
I mean, this is definitely gold!

Hmmm...

Well, it's shiny.

And so sparkly!

But is it gold, you guys?!

Let's check it out!

Okay, how do we tell real gold

from rocks that just
look like gold.

Yes! Time to check
this baby out!

Tally ho!

Tweezers.

Tweezers.

Magnifying glass.

Magnifying glass.

Okay... gold is known to be
canary yellow to silvery yellow.

See?

NATURE CAT:
Hmm, this is canary yellow.

Check!

Gold won't break,
flake or crumble.

Whoa-ho-ho-ho!
This is really strong. Check!

Okay, now rub it against a rock,
and smell it.

What's it smell like?

Hey! It smells a little
like some kind of metal!

Congrats, Squeeks!

In my humble opinion,

it looks like a healthy
and happy piece of gold!

ALL:
It's a gold!

Gold?!

Well, well, well...

What do we got here?

Gold?

ALL:
Squeeks found gold!
Squeeks found gold!

Gold!

That gold will be mine!

(Laughing)

And now I can add this nugget
to my rock collection!

Actually, gold's not a rock.

It's a metal, like silver
or copper.

Metal? Even better!

You've been hoping
to find gold

ever since you started
that collection!

I can't believe
I finally found it.

Whoa!

There's gold in this here nest!

Oh no! My gold!

Oh no! My gold!

It really is my gold.
It's mine.

I claimed it.

How did I do that?

Come back here... crow!

The one piece I've been waiting
to add to my collection is gone!

(Whimpering)

Oh, there, there,
little Squeeks.

Never fear!

Nature Cat is here
to save the day!

But what can you do, Nature Cat?

Find a new gold nugget,
that's what!

Thanks, Nature Cat,

but there's not much chance
we'll find another one.

Not much of a chance?!

Ha, I laugh in the face of
"not much of a chance"!

(Laughing)

Me too!

(Laughing)

Me three!

(Laughing)

Me four!

(Laughing)

(Hysterical laughing)

So what were we
laughing about again?

Well, what are we waiting for,
you guys?

Let's go find some more gold!

ALL:
There's gold in them thar hills!

Onward and yonward!

Lead the way, Nature Cat.

Lead the way.

(Laughing)

Oh, where'd they go?

So, this is the exact spot
where I found the gold.

Water? Why'd it
have to be water?

Well, because streams are good
places to find gold.

And look, black sand on the
bottom here.

Says here that black sand

is a good sign that
there might be gold!

Aah! Skunk!

He's trying to make me stinky!

I'm okay!

Let's find us some gold!

I'll just take the
bird's eye view!

Aw, I can't see anything.

Me either!

I got nothing.

Hey! Agh! Hey, stop!

Hal...

There's gotta be a
better way to find gold!

I'm on it!

"Best ways to find gold."

Oh, here's something...

MAN:
Well, hi there, fellow
prospectors.

You say you wanna pan for gold?

Well, here's how!

First dip your pan in the
water, under the sand and dirt,

and gently lift it up.

If you don't have a real pan,

you can use an ordinary
pie pan!

Swirl the pan like so,
in a back and forth motion.

This separates the lighter
parts from the heavier parts.

Water and the lighter parts
spill out.

Add some more water
and do the swirl again.

You just want the heavier stuff
to stay in the pan,

like black sand, pebbles,
and hopefully...

Wait a minute, is that gold?!

It is!

Gold!

I found gold!

Yee-haw!

It's gold!

Time to pan for gold,
fellow prospectors!

Onward and yonward!

Ow!

Oh, come on!
That was my nose!

Right in the nose.

Oh! Oh! Oh no!

Oh man! Come on!

Bees! Aahh!

Skunk!

What's that for?

All the gold
we're gonna find!

He's such a water bowl
half full kind of dog!

Love him!

Oh, gold!

I think I found gold! Look!

That gold will be mine!

This kinda looks like gold,
but it's also different.

It's not as shiny.

Huh, the colour is more
orangey-yellow...

And it breaks.

Oh... gold doesn't break.

Oh boy! It smells like eggs.

It's called pyrite.

Some call it "fools' gold".

It's certainly a beautiful rock,
but it's not gold.

Yeah, it's not gold.

But, at least I can add it
to my collection.

Well, thank you guys for trying,

but we've been out here all day
and we haven't found zilch.

I guess it's time to pack it up.

Aww, really, Squeeks?

Don't worry little buddy.

We can try again tomorrow!

G-g-g... G-g-g-g...

G-g-g-gold!

It's really shiny!

And yellow!

And it doesn't break!

And it smells a little
like metal!

ALL:
Gold!

It's mine! All mine!

I told ya! I told ya!

(Laughing)

ALL:
Ronald!

Gold, gold! Who got the gold?
I got the gold!

I'll take that, thank you!

Nope. Mine!

Who got the gold!
I got the gold!

Guess again! Mine!

Mine!

Nope! Mine!

It is mine!

Oh, he's getting away
with the gold!

Not on my watch, Squeeks!

Time to get the gold back!

Tally ho!

Whoa!

(Yelling)

I've got the gold,
Nature Cat!

And all you got is trouble!

I honestly cannot argue
with that statement.

Oh, you losing your grip?
Here, lemme help you?

This little piggy
went to the market.

This little piggy...

Aahh!

...said bye-bye!

(Laughing)

Oh, hello, Ronald.

What-- but-- how-- did--
you were just-- how--

how did you--?

Aaahh!

A nugget of gold for a mouse
with a heart of gold!

Thank you so much, Nature Cat!

Anything for you, Squeeks!

ALL:
We love you, Squeeks!

SQUEEKS:
, , , , !

Ready or not, here we come!

Found ya! Hi, Nature Cat!

It's me, Hal!

Really, Hal? That took you,
like, a second to find me!

Actually half a second.

Nature Cat,
if you really wanna win

this year's Neighbourhood
Hide and Seek Championship,

Cat Edition,
you've got to practice!

You certainly do!
And we'll help you train for it!

What do you say?

I say, okay!

I say, hooray!

Yippee!

Oh, hello, Nature Cat!

Hello, Ronald...

Nature Cat, Nature Cat,
Nature Cat.

It doesn't matter
how much you practice.

No one can b*at me
in hide and seek!

Observe!

Found ya!

(Giggling)

Found ya!

(Chuckling)

Found ya!

See?

I'm the best there ever was!

Ronald...

Wow! He's good!
I mean really good.

Probably the best
there ever was.

I mean ever!
Like, the best. Like the best.

Okay, Hal, we get it...

What do I have to do?

(Blowing whistle)

Yeah, that's it, Nature Cat!

Run! Hide!

Uh-uh.

Oh, boy.

SQUEEKS:
Run! Hide!

Run! Hide! Run!

Oh, he's got it!

Yes!

Ha ha!

Now, don't be nervous.

You're gonna do great today,
Nature Cat.

Heh-heh... Nervous?
Who's nervous?

Me? Nervous? You think--?

No! I'm not nerv--
Yes, I am a little nervous.

You'll be fine, Nature Cat.

There are so many awesome hiding
places around here,

and you're ready to go.

Yeah, but Ronald is such
an amazing hider!

He's almost as good
as that toad there.

What toad where?

That toad there! Look!

Uh, what are we looking at?

That toad, right there!

Guys! Right there!
Don't you see it?

No, I d--

Oh hey!
Yes, I do see it!

Right there!

Man, oh, man, I didn't see
that little rascal!

Hey guy!

Me either, he blended in
so well...

Look how his skin matches
the ground!

What a great little hider!

Yeah, and so is that fawn
over there...

NATURE CAT:
Where?

That fawn there!

Guys, do we have to
go through this again?

A fawn!

Another great hider!

Oh wow!

It's white spot pattern is just
like the sunlight on the ground!

You guys! That's it!

Wait-- Who's what?

Nature Cat can use this
technique as his secret w*apon!

Secret w*apon?

Ooh! I like the sound of that.

Tell me more.

It's something that
we wild animals use

when we don't wanna be seen.

It's called camouflage!

ALL:
Ooohh... camouflage!

So, we use the patterns and
colours of our fur or skin

to blend in
with what's around us...

Like this!

Wait, where'd Squeeks go?

Yeah! Where'd she go?
Where'd she go?

Tada! Ya see that!

Hiding in plain sight!

Ho, ho!
Brava, Squeeks!

Oh! Let me try that!

Chamomile!

It's camouflage, Hal.
And we can totally see you.

Camo-whammo!

No, camouflage.
And that's not it.

Cameron Diaz!

(Applause)

Yes, nailed it!

Oh no, it's time for the game!

You are so ready, Nature Cat!

You really think so?!

No doubt, man!
We totally believe in you.

Yes! And I believe in me too!

What do you say I show Ronald
how to play hide and seek,

Nature Cat style!

Onward and yonward!

Thank you!
Thank you so much! Thank you!

Hey-o!

And welcome to the Neighbourhood
Hide and Seek Championship,

Cat Edition!

(Cheering and applause)

We love you MC Ferret!

Ha ha, love you too, Hal!

So who's ready to hide?!

Ready!

Wait, where's Ronald?

Ah! And now, here he is!

The four time defending
champion!

(Crying)

The one they call Mr. Hide!

Here he is,
the one and only Ronald!

(Audience cheering)

Good luck, Nature Cat.

Boy are you gonna need it!

Ha ha, now let's
meet the seeker,

and wouldn't you know,
that's his name!

Y'all know him!
Y'all love him!

Here he is, the best finder from
here to Peoria, the Seeker!

Okay, y'all, so to make this
a fair game,

the Seeker can only use
his eyes to find the cats,

not his sense of smell.

Okay, you have
seconds to hide

and then we turn
the Seeker loose.

The last cat in the woods
is the winner!

Let the Neighbourhood Hide and
Seek Championship

Cat Edition begin!

(Yawning)

Go get 'em, Nature Cat!

You can do it!
Yeah,
Nature Cat!

DAISY:
I believe in you!

Oh boy, not the way
I was hoping this would start!

MC FERRET:
Release the hound!

Gulp.

Gotcha, Jingles!

Oh, man!

Whew...

(Angry chittering)

(Ronald laughing)

Ronald...

Alas, it seems my run
for hide and seek glory

has come to an end.

I must face reality,

I will never wear the
gold first place medal.

VOICE:
Believe in yourself,
Nature Cat!

Who said that?

Camouflage!

Exactly.

A ha!

Camouflage!

Gotcha, Tanya!

Aw, man!

Jimmy Cat!

Gotcha!

Oh! So close!

It's down to Nature Cat versus
Ronald for the championship!

Who will take home the gold?

I can't wait to find out!
I love these two cats!

Good try, Nature Cat,
but it's all over now.

Game over!

Hey...

Yipes!

Gotcha, Nature C--

Hey, where'd he go?

That's impossible!

Nature Cat was right there!

Whoops! Uh, uh...

Chirp. Chirp-chirp-chirp.

Gotcha, Ronald!

Nooo!

Do you believe in miracles!

Nature Cat wins!

Where did he-- How did he--
Where did he--

Where did Nature Cat go!?

Where'd he hide?

In plain sight!

What? In plain sight?

Camouflage!

No fair! No way!
I want a rematch!

And here he is, the new Hide and
Seek Neighbourhood Champion,

Cat Edition!

Nature Cat!

(Cheering and applause)

(Confused chatter)

Ha ha! You guessed it!

Camouflage!

(Cheering)

I want to thank my friends
who helped me train

and taught me all about
hiding in plain sight!

Ha ha, uh...
Where are they?

Camouflage!

Camouflage!

Came-lama-ding-dong!
Thank you!

(Cheering)
