Madagascar: A Little Wild (2020–…): Season 6, Episode 6 - What About Bill - full transcript
Places!
What a beautiful day!
The sun is shining, the
birds are singing...
The habitat construction
is constructing...
I'll be happy when that's over.
‐ Good thing we have our shiny
new guest habitat in the meantime!
‐ Speaking of...
Isn't there supposed to be a
guest in the guest habitat?
‐ Oh. Right! On it.
‐ New guest in the guest habitat?
I wonder who it's gonna be!
‐ Apparently, Bill the
Flamingo knows who it is,
but he's only dropping hints.
Bill said it's
gonna be someone famous!
‐ Someone adventurous!
‐ Hilarious!
‐ Daring! ‐ As
tall as a mountain!
‐ According to Bill, we won't believe
who our new neighbor is gonna be!
‐ He said they're
"universally beloved."
‐ Who could it be? ‐
Maybe an exotic tiger?
‐ A whale? A unicorn? A
unicorn whale? Is that a thing?
Oh, wait, that's just a narwhal.
‐ I can't take the
suspense much longer!
Bill?
‐ Howdy, new neighbors!
‐ You're our "amazing", "famous",
"universally beloved" new neighbor?
‐ Told you you
wouldn't believe it!
‐ Howdy!
Buenos días!
Top of the morning!
Ugh.
Don't you hate it when you
step on something yucky?
Just dropping by for a
neighborly cup of algae.
‐ I don't think
we have any algae.
‐ Oh! In that case, I'll just
munch on whatever these things are.
‐ Uh. Bill? I was saving
those for a snack.
‐ Oh. Well then, I'll just leave them here
and find a quiet activity to do by myself.
Nah. Nah. Oh!
I hope this is a Romance!
‐ Actually, Bill, we were
just about to sit there.
It's cat week on
the Nature Channel.
‐ Oh! Oh, I didn't realize
this was your seat.
Was there a sign?
Did I miss the sign?
‐ I don't need a
sign, it's my habitat.
‐ Alex, come on,
let's be hospitable.
Are you reading my
ranger handbook?
‐ It's a handbook?
For a minute there I thought you
kept the world's most boring diary.
Okay, let's watch your
little cat show, Alex,
but I get to pick
next. Golf channel.
I love those Florida greens.
‐ Golf channel? Oh.
He's gone too far!
Bill, do you think you could
give us a tiny bit of space?
‐ Oh! But of course!
‐ Welcome to Cat Week
on the Nature Channel!
Here's a fun fact. Despite
their ferocious reputation,
most cats love to
kick back and relax.
‐ Yeah, when they have room to.
‐ And nothing makes a cat
"chill out" like catnip.
And so, we're asking you to
bring your coolest, calmest,
most relaxed cats to our studio
to audition for our new
sponsor, Callie's Catnip!
The winning feline will
land a starring role
in their own catnip commercial!
‐ Did you hear that?
A catnip commercial
could help me expand my
audience, reach more people...
‐ Sell more catnip? ‐ Yes!
And if I can build a bigger
audience... Next stop, Broadway!
Well, probably off‐Broadway.
But then Broadway!
‐ Yeah, but didn't they say
they wanted a cat who is chill?
‐ Yeah. So? ‐ Oh. Nothing.
I just, you know, I never
thought of you like that.
‐ Huh!
You know what? That's okay.
I'm so chill that even you can't
get in the way of my coolness, Bill.
That's me, Chill
Alex, aka, "Chillex."
‐ If you say so, "Chillex." Listen,
can we watch the golf channel now?
‐ As exciting as that sounds,
looks like Kate's here!
‐ Oh! Too bad! See you!
‐ See you later, Bill!
‐ Should we do this
at my place next time?
Because I've got a great
pond. It's very wet.
‐ Yeah. Sure, awesome, would love
to, definitely some other time. Bye!
And away we go!
‐ Bill's finally out of our fur.
‐ He got into my
Sour Candy Whales
and took all the yellow whales!
Those were my least favorite...
‐ And what was he doing messing
with the Lost and Found?
I had everything coordinated by
color, but now it's all mixed up!
Is this gonna happen
every day now?
‐ Relax! So, Bill's
our neighbor.
That's nothing to worry about. I'm
just gonna keep it cool like a cat.
‐ So, what? You're so "chill"
Bill doesn't bother you anymore?
‐ Oh, no. Bill drives me nuts.
‐ Alex is back. ‐ But I have
a plan to keep him distracted
long enough for us to take
the tunnels into the city,
dress Melman up as
my human owner...
‐ Wait, what? ‐ Primp and
prime until I'm the calmest,
coolest cat in New York, and
then land that commercial.
All without Bill
getting in the way!
‐ Sounds like the plan of
a calm, cool, relaxed cat.
‐ And what exactly
does this plan entail?
‐ As everybody knows,
Bill is nosy, obnoxious,
and gets into
everybody's business.
So we'll set up a diversion!
The last thing we want is for Bill
to know we've gone to the city.
So, using things found
around the habitat,
we'll create lifelike
replicas of ourselves
that will make Bill
think we're still here!
But what if he tries
to come in and talk to us?
‐ That's where the
vultures come in.
Everyone knows that
flamingos hate vultures.
Just the sight of a vulture
will scare Bill away.
Meanwhile, we make our
way to the tunnels,
hand over the toll and... Voila!
It's the perfect plan. Now nothing
can get between me and my...
Howdy, neighbors!
Howdy, vulture! Love those guys!
Well, fancy running
into y'all over here!
‐ Bill, what are you
doing back over here?
‐ Well, I heard a vulture and
I wanted to come say howdy!
Folks think they're vicious, but I've
learned you just gotta get to know them.
Oh! Loving the puppet
show, b‐t‐dubs!
‐ Melman! Wait.
‐ What are you
standing in front of?
‐ Nothing! ‐ You can tell me!
Friends tell each
other everything.
‐ I'd call us more
neighbors than friends...
‐ What is this?
‐ It's nothing! ‐
Don't worry about it!
‐ Sorry, Bill, but we cannot tell you
about our secret tunnel to the city,
so don't even think about asking us
about our secret tunnel to the city.
Oh! Sorry! I think I just told him
about our secret tunnel to the city!
‐ The city? ‐ Secret tunnel!
‐ I've always wanted to go there!
You go by yourself? Without Kate?
‐ What's it gonna take
for you to not tell on us?
‐ Tell on you?
Do I seem like the kind of
bird who would tell on you?
‐ Yes. ‐ Definitely.
‐ Wow, you don't really
know me at all, do you?
Maybe we could get to know each
other better if I came with you?
‐ Should we invite
him? ‐ No way!
I can't have any
disruptions for my audition.
‐ But look at him.
‐ Look at Bill? Bill the
Flamingo, who tried to take over
your role at the Pride Parade?
And got gum stuck
in Coral's hair?
And told you trash pickup was on
Monday when it really was on Tuesday?
‐ I waited all day for
them to clear the clutter.
But we all make mistakes! ‐
Shouldn't we give him another chance?
‐ If we don't, he might tell
everybody about our secret tunnels.
‐ Do you wanna come along, Bill?
‐ Do I? I thought you'd never ask!
‐ Neither did I. So, here's the
deal. We'll take you to the city.
Go in, see the buildings,
come home. Got it?
But remember, I need
everything to be calm,
cool and relaxed today, so
please, no distractions.
‐ Me? Distract?
Come on, I wouldn't dream of
it! What's that over there?
Gotcha! New York
City, here we come!
Looks like my lucky day!
‐ Gasp!
Woo woo!
Oh, sweet crumbs of
bread, what is this place?
‐ It's the city, Bill, I
thought we went over this?
‐ I just mean it's everything
I imagined and more!
Oh! What in the world is
that scrumptious city scent?
You mean the pretzels?
‐ Pretzel.
Why, it rolls off the tongue
as beautifully as it smells!
‐ Huh. I never thought
of it that way.
Pretzel.
Pretzel.
‐ Right?
‐ They have pretzels
at the habitat.
‐ But these are city pretzels!
There's no comparison!
I wonder what other delightful
smells are out here?
‐ Bill, wait, we need disguises!
Murray!
What's wrong?
‐ Did you see that pink‐feathered
bird ‐walking down Fifth Avenue?
‐ No, but if you see her again,
ask her where she got her coat.
‐ That was a close call.
Now, put on these disguises
and let's start
prepping for the show.
‐ Oh, yeah, no, I'm
not wearing that.
‐ We have to wear disguises
to blend into the city.
‐ Okay, but here's a thought, just
spit balling, what if I didn't?
‐ I'm listening. ‐
I always just think,
why blend in when
you can stand out?
‐ You know, Bill? You're not
as big a buzzkill as I thought.
‐ Uh. What's with your eye?
‐ All right. You've
had your fun.
Now it's time for me to get to my
audition and for you to go home!
‐ Do I have to go so soon?
‐ Bill, could you
give us a minute?
Would it really hurt to let
him tag along for the day?
‐ He's actually a lot of fun!
‐ More like a lot of distraction!
This audition could be huge for me.
I'm supposed to be chilling out,
and he's attracting a crowd!
‐ What an amazing statue!
‐ To be fair, didn't you
want to attract a crowd?
‐ Yes, but not with Bill!
‐ Come on, Alex, think of
how Bill feels. ‐ Please?
‐ Think about how Bill feels?
Think about how I feel.
We were supposed to be making sure I'm
"Chillexed" enough for my audition.
‐ How about this? Marty, Melman
and I will keep Bill busy,
so you can focus
on your audition.
‐ Thanks, but I'm sure Marty doesn't
want to babysit Bill all day.
‐ For you, I'd do anything.
‐ Fine. All right, Bill.
We would like you to stay
and spend the day with us.
‐ Dreams really do come
true in New York City!
‐ But you can't distract
me from my audition.
‐ I won't distract, I'll help!
‐ How will you do that? ‐
With a little bit of hype.
Step right up, everyone,
to see the one, the only...
‐ Ugh, performance art!
‐ I don't need hype! I
need the opposite of hype.
I need to find my inner Chillex.
‐ Do you want a back massage? I've
been told I'm very bad at them,
but that doesn't mean I shouldn't
give it another try, right?
‐ Gloria, didn't you want to take
Bill for his first city pretzel?
‐ Oh! That's right. A pretzel.
‐ Well, you know how
I feel about pretzels.
Spoiler alert, I love them!
‐ You come with us and we'll
leave Alex here to relax.
‐ Thanks, Marty, I can
always depend on you.
Woohoo! ‐ Yeah!
‐ Have fun! I'll meet
you at the audition!
‐ We'll be there with bells on!
‐ As long as
they're quiet bells.
Finally, I can
hear myself think!
‐ As the music plays
through your ears,
close your eyes, and allow
it to clear your mind
and open your heart.
‐ Or not think.
All the big stars meditate
before a big audition.
Chillex. Keep calm and kitty‐on.
Breathe in...
Breathe out...
Breathe in...
Breathe out...
Alex! Hey,
Alex, wake up.
We're running late.
‐ My audition! We gotta run!
‐ No, silly! I canceled that.
We're late for swimming.
‐ What? Why would you
cancel... Did you say swimming?
‐ Swimming, swimming, swimming.
‐ Bill, you know I hate water!
‐ Swimming. But you
need it for your show!
‐ What show? Bill, slow down!
The show I
planned for you!
You wanna build your audience, right?
‐ What kind of show did you plan?
‐ A water show.
‐ We can't wait for the
show. Isn't Bill great?
‐ We want him to move
into A Little Wild!
‐ Marty, knock some
sense into them.
I can always depend on
you, my main mammal.
‐ Sorry, Alex.
Bill's our new BFF.
Best Flamingo Forever!
‐ Forever!
‐ No!
Huh?
It was just a dream.
I must've fallen asleep!
I gotta get to my audition!
Next!
All right, let's see how relaxed
and cool this kitty can be.
Yikes. Too much catnip.
Next feline!
A little too relaxed.
When you're done with her,
bring out our last cat!
Whoever it is, the job is theirs, as
long as they're not completely bananas.
‐ Yes! As long as I stay
calm, cool, and relaxed
for the next two minutes,
the role is mine.
‐ So, then I said to him, "Excuse
me, this bath is for the birds!"
‐ Oh, Bill, you're hilarious!
‐ Stay calm and kitty‐on.
Marty's just being nice and
keeping Bill busy for me.
‐ We could use more of that
humor around the habitat.
Hey, maybe you could stay in
the guest habitat for good,
then you'd be our
neighbor forever!
‐ Marty, too?
‐ Alex! Ready for your audition?
‐ Uh... Is something wrong?
‐ Is something wrong?
Is something wrong? This guy
takes over your parade...
‐ Hi! How you doing?
Wrecks your favorite doll's
hair, messes up trash pick‐up,
and annoys me all day long,
and now you're all buddy‐buddy?
‐ He's not so bad once
you get to know him!
Besides, he was right, I could've
used his help at the parade.
He has a great eye for color.
‐ Are you kidding me?
‐ Alex, you doing okay, buddy?
You look a little
stressed. A little piqued.
A little tense...
‐ I'm fine, Bill!
‐ Irritated. That was
the word. Thank you.
‐ I'm not irritated.
‐ Really? Because you're
kind of red in the face.
I'm not feeling a fever...
Oh! How about that
massage we talked about?
‐ I told you, Bill, I'm fine!
‐ Woah, buddy. Just relax.
I mean, you don't wanna
blow your audition, do you?
‐ Bill's right, Alex. ‐ Yeah,
what happened to Chillex?
‐ What happened to Chillex? I'll
tell you what happened to Chillex.
Bill happened to Chillex!
He drives me nuts!
‐ So, who's up next?
Okay, I'm starting to think it's
not the cats, it's the catnip.
Let's bring the
sleeping cat back in.
We can liven her up in CGI.
‐ Oh, no. No...
‐ I'm sorry, Alex. But
maybe it's for the best.
‐ I knew it! I was
right about Bill.
I should've never given
him a second chance.
‐ Is it something I said?
‐ If they all like Bill so much,
he can just move in with them.
And I'll live here
in Bill's habitat.
Huh?
‐ Howdy, neighbor.
I guess I did get a little in the
way of your big audition, huh?
‐ Ya think?
‐ Whoops! Sorry about that! I
know how much you hate water.
‐ At least you got one
thing about me right.
‐ I know lots about you, Alex.
And I think if you got to know me,
we could be really good friends.
‐ I already know everything
I need to know about you.
Like how you tried to take
over Marty's Pride Parade!
‐ I was trying to help,
but I came on too strong.
I apologized to Marty
and now we're good.
‐ Well, you borrowed
Gloria's favorite mer‐doll
and got gum stuck
all in her hair!
‐ Boy, did I feel
terrible about that.
Which is why I gave Coral that
fabulous haircut to get it out.
Now Gloria says she has the
best hair in the habitat.
Well, next to yours.
‐ Oh, and there was something with
Melman, but I can't remember now.
‐ It was the trash.
I mixed up the days.
It was on Mondays at my old
habitat. We laugh about it now.
‐ Yeah, well, that
all may be fine,
but then you got me so stressed
out that I blew my audition
because I knew you'd
do something terrible.
‐ Did I do something terrible?
‐ I guess, maybe you didn't.
Maybe it wasn't all your fault.
Actually, maybe I got me all
stressed out at my audition.
‐ Or maybe it just wasn't
the right one for you.
I mean, Chillex? C'mon!
You're so fun and energetic!
I mean, why would you want to
be calm, and cool, and relaxed?
You'd be covering up the
things that make up stand out.
‐ You know, it's hard to stay mad at
you when you say nice things like that.
‐ Sorry, but I mean
every last one of them.
‐ I can see why my
friends like you so much.
You're not such a
bad guy after all.
You can come out now!
‐ Does this mean we
can all be friends?
‐ Hey?
‐ I'm ready to give you
another chance, Bill.
Under one condition...
That you give me one, too.
I'm sorry I misjudged you.
‐ It's water under
the flamingo pond!
‐ I wish I felt this
relaxed for my audition!
That catnip role might not
have been right for me,
but it would've gotten
me a big audience.
‐ I can help with that! You
may not know this about me,
but I'm very good at
attracting attention.
I can shine a
spotlight right on you!
‐ Woah. ‐ Where did
that even come from?
‐ What do you say? ‐ It's
what you wanted, Alex!
‐ All I really want is
for us to be friends.
All of us.
‐ Oh! ‐ Didn't expect
you to go there.
‐ But I won't say no
to a bigger audience.
‐ There it is. ‐ Yep.
That's our Alex.
‐ Yoo‐hoo! Howdy, neighbor!
‐ Oh. Hey, Alex! What's
shaking my feline friend?
‐ You said you wanted to talk
promotional plans for my next show?
‐ Do I ever! I've already started
preparing the ice sculptures.
‐ Uh. You sure we
need ice sculptures?
‐ Well, naturally.
I mean, we need a centerpiece for
the appetizer buffet, don't we?
‐ Hang on. Appetizer buffet?
‐ That's so the fans
don't get hungry
during your performance. Last
thing we need in this place
is two thousand hungry
New Yorkers, trust me.
‐ Two thousand?
‐ Oops. No, no, no, no, you're right.
Might be closer to three thousand.
‐ Uh...
‐ What? Too much?
‐ It's a good start!
‐ Okay, but we're probably gonna
need a bigger chocolate fountain.
‐ I think you and I are
gonna make a great team.
‐ Thanks, neighbor!
‐ You got it, friend.
What a beautiful day!
The sun is shining, the
birds are singing...
The habitat construction
is constructing...
I'll be happy when that's over.
‐ Good thing we have our shiny
new guest habitat in the meantime!
‐ Speaking of...
Isn't there supposed to be a
guest in the guest habitat?
‐ Oh. Right! On it.
‐ New guest in the guest habitat?

‐ But these are city pretzels!
There's no comparison!
I wonder what other delightful
smells are out here?
‐ Bill, wait, we need disguises!
Murray!
What's wrong?
‐ Did you see that pink‐feathered
bird ‐walking down Fifth Avenue?
‐ No, but if you see her again,
ask her where she got her coat.
‐ That was a close call.
Now, put on these disguises
and let's start
prepping for the show.
‐ Oh, yeah, no, I'm
not wearing that.
‐ We have to wear disguises
to blend into the city.
‐ Okay, but here's a thought, just
spit balling, what if I didn't?
‐ I'm listening. ‐
I always just think,
why blend in when
you can stand out?
‐ You know, Bill? You're not
as big a buzzkill as I thought.
‐ Uh. What's with your eye?
‐ All right. You've
had your fun.
Now it's time for me to get to my
audition and for you to go home!
‐ Do I have to go so soon?
‐ Bill, could you
give us a minute?
Would it really hurt to let
him tag along for the day?
‐ He's actually a lot of fun!
‐ More like a lot of distraction!
This audition could be huge for me.
I'm supposed to be chilling out,
and he's attracting a crowd!
‐ What an amazing statue!
‐ To be fair, didn't you
want to attract a crowd?
‐ Yes, but not with Bill!
‐ Come on, Alex, think of
how Bill feels. ‐ Please?
‐ Think about how Bill feels?
Think about how I feel.
We were supposed to be making sure I'm
"Chillexed" enough for my audition.
‐ How about this? Marty, Melman
and I will keep Bill busy,
so you can focus
on your audition.
‐ Thanks, but I'm sure Marty doesn't
want to babysit Bill all day.
‐ For you, I'd do anything.
‐ Fine. All right, Bill.
We would like you to stay
and spend the day with us.
‐ Dreams really do come
true in New York City!
‐ But you can't distract
me from my audition.
‐ I won't distract, I'll help!
‐ How will you do that? ‐
With a little bit of hype.
Step right up, everyone,
to see the one, the only...
‐ Ugh, performance art!
‐ I don't need hype! I
need the opposite of hype.
I need to find my inner Chillex.
‐ Do you want a back massage? I've
been told I'm very bad at them,
but that doesn't mean I shouldn't
give it another try, right?
‐ Gloria, didn't you want to take
Bill for his first city pretzel?
‐ Oh! That's right. A pretzel.
‐ Well, you know how
I feel about pretzels.
Spoiler alert, I love them!
‐ You come with us and we'll
leave Alex here to relax.
‐ Thanks, Marty, I can
always depend on you.
Woohoo! ‐ Yeah!
‐ Have fun! I'll meet
you at the audition!
‐ We'll be there with bells on!
‐ As long as
they're quiet bells.
Finally, I can
hear myself think!
‐ As the music plays
through your ears,
close your eyes, and allow
it to clear your mind
and open your heart.
‐ Or not think.
All the big stars meditate
before a big audition.
Chillex. Keep calm and kitty‐on.
Breathe in...
Breathe out...
Breathe in...
Breathe out...
Alex! Hey,
Alex, wake up.
We're running late.
‐ My audition! We gotta run!
‐ No, silly! I canceled that.
We're late for swimming.
‐ What? Why would you
cancel... Did you say swimming?
‐ Swimming, swimming, swimming.
‐ Bill, you know I hate water!
‐ Swimming. But you
need it for your show!
‐ What show? Bill, slow down!
The show I
planned for you!
You wanna build your audience, right?
‐ What kind of show did you plan?
‐ A water show.
‐ We can't wait for the
show. Isn't Bill great?
‐ We want him to move
into A Little Wild!
‐ Marty, knock some
sense into them.
I can always depend on
you, my main mammal.
‐ Sorry, Alex.
Bill's our new BFF.
Best Flamingo Forever!
‐ Forever!
‐ No!
Huh?
It was just a dream.
I must've fallen asleep!
I gotta get to my audition!
Next!
All right, let's see how relaxed
and cool this kitty can be.
Yikes. Too much catnip.
Next feline!
A little too relaxed.
When you're done with her,
bring out our last cat!
Whoever it is, the job is theirs, as
long as they're not completely bananas.
‐ Yes! As long as I stay
calm, cool, and relaxed
for the next two minutes,
the role is mine.
‐ So, then I said to him, "Excuse
me, this bath is for the birds!"
‐ Oh, Bill, you're hilarious!
‐ Stay calm and kitty‐on.
Marty's just being nice and
keeping Bill busy for me.
‐ We could use more of that
humor around the habitat.
Hey, maybe you could stay in
the guest habitat for good,
then you'd be our
neighbor forever!
‐ Marty, too?
‐ Alex! Ready for your audition?
‐ Uh... Is something wrong?
‐ Is something wrong?
Is something wrong? This guy
takes over your parade...
‐ Hi! How you doing?
Wrecks your favorite doll's
hair, messes up trash pick‐up,
and annoys me all day long,
and now you're all buddy‐buddy?
‐ He's not so bad once
you get to know him!
Besides, he was right, I could've
used his help at the parade.
He has a great eye for color.
‐ Are you kidding me?
‐ Alex, you doing okay, buddy?
You look a little
stressed. A little piqued.
A little tense...
‐ I'm fine, Bill!
‐ Irritated. That was
the word. Thank you.
‐ I'm not irritated.
‐ Really? Because you're
kind of red in the face.
I'm not feeling a fever...
Oh! How about that
massage we talked about?
‐ I told you, Bill, I'm fine!
‐ Woah, buddy. Just relax.
I mean, you don't wanna
blow your audition, do you?
‐ Bill's right, Alex. ‐ Yeah,
what happened to Chillex?
‐ What happened to Chillex? I'll
tell you what happened to Chillex.
Bill happened to Chillex!
He drives me nuts!
‐ So, who's up next?
Okay, I'm starting to think it's
not the cats, it's the catnip.
Let's bring the
sleeping cat back in.
We can liven her up in CGI.
‐ Oh, no. No...
‐ I'm sorry, Alex. But
maybe it's for the best.
‐ I knew it! I was
right about Bill.
I should've never given
him a second chance.
‐ Is it something I said?
‐ If they all like Bill so much,
he can just move in with them.
And I'll live here
in Bill's habitat.
Huh?
‐ Howdy, neighbor.
I guess I did get a little in the
way of your big audition, huh?
‐ Ya think?
‐ Whoops! Sorry about that! I
know how much you hate water.
‐ At least you got one
thing about me right.
‐ I know lots about you, Alex.
And I think if you got to know me,
we could be really good friends.
‐ I already know everything
I need to know about you.
Like how you tried to take
over Marty's Pride Parade!
‐ I was trying to help,
but I came on too strong.
I apologized to Marty
and now we're good.
‐ Well, you borrowed
Gloria's favorite mer‐doll
and got gum stuck
all in her hair!
‐ Boy, did I feel
terrible about that.
Which is why I gave Coral that
fabulous haircut to get it out.
Now Gloria says she has the
best hair in the habitat.
Well, next to yours.
‐ Oh, and there was something with
Melman, but I can't remember now.
‐ It was the trash.
I mixed up the days.
It was on Mondays at my old
habitat. We laugh about it now.
‐ Yeah, well, that
all may be fine,
but then you got me so stressed
out that I blew my audition
because I knew you'd
do something terrible.
‐ Did I do something terrible?
‐ I guess, maybe you didn't.
Maybe it wasn't all your fault.
Actually, maybe I got me all
stressed out at my audition.
‐ Or maybe it just wasn't
the right one for you.
I mean, Chillex? C'mon!
You're so fun and energetic!
I mean, why would you want to
be calm, and cool, and relaxed?
You'd be covering up the
things that make up stand out.
‐ You know, it's hard to stay mad at
you when you say nice things like that.
‐ Sorry, but I mean
every last one of them.
‐ I can see why my
friends like you so much.
You're not such a
bad guy after all.
You can come out now!
‐ Does this mean we
can all be friends?
‐ Hey?
‐ I'm ready to give you
another chance, Bill.
Under one condition...
That you give me one, too.
I'm sorry I misjudged you.
‐ It's water under
the flamingo pond!
‐ I wish I felt this
relaxed for my audition!
That catnip role might not
have been right for me,
but it would've gotten
me a big audience.
‐ I can help with that! You
may not know this about me,
but I'm very good at
attracting attention.
I can shine a
spotlight right on you!
‐ Woah. ‐ Where did
that even come from?
‐ What do you say? ‐ It's
what you wanted, Alex!
‐ All I really want is
for us to be friends.
All of us.
‐ Oh! ‐ Didn't expect
you to go there.
‐ But I won't say no
to a bigger audience.
‐ There it is. ‐ Yep.
That's our Alex.
‐ Yoo‐hoo! Howdy, neighbor!
‐ Oh. Hey, Alex! What's
shaking my feline friend?
‐ You said you wanted to talk
promotional plans for my next show?
‐ Do I ever! I've already started
preparing the ice sculptures.
‐ Uh. You sure we
need ice sculptures?
‐ Well, naturally.
I mean, we need a centerpiece for
the appetizer buffet, don't we?
‐ Hang on. Appetizer buffet?
‐ That's so the fans
don't get hungry
during your performance. Last
thing we need in this place
is two thousand hungry
New Yorkers, trust me.
‐ Two thousand?
‐ Oops. No, no, no, no, you're right.
Might be closer to three thousand.
‐ Uh...
‐ What? Too much?
‐ It's a good start!
‐ Okay, but we're probably gonna
need a bigger chocolate fountain.
‐ I think you and I are
gonna make a great team.
‐ Thanks, neighbor!
‐ You got it, friend.
