Transcript:Horrid Henry's Dance Class

[Al, Ralph and Bert are doing karate while walking]
Ralph: Come on Bert. Don't want to be late for karate.
Al: What do you think we're going to do this week? [he and Bert doing karate]
Bert: I dunno.
Henry: [looks at the window while Al and Bert are doing karate] Oh... [doing karate in the stage]
[The children are doing very good ballet]
Madame Tutu: Children, you dance like the meringue the soufflé the... potato.
Henry: Huh?
Madame Tutu: Thank you, Henry.
Henry: Huh.
Madame Tutu: [claps] Wonderful news, children. All of your hard work is to be rewarded. We have been asked to perform in front of the whole school.
[The children cheers]
Henry: You mean the whole school is going to see me dance? With them!?
[The class looks shocked]
Madame Tutu: Yes, isn't it wonderful?
Henry: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[Title card appears]
Peter: And bend and stretch and bend and stretch! I'm going to be the best cloud ever.
Henry: But, I don't want to be a raindrop! I don't even want to be in that stupid show.
Mum: Don't be horrid, Henry. You love dancing. You dance around the house all the time.
Henry: That's not the same. Anyway, I want to go to karate instead.
Mum: Don't start that again, Henry. You're doing ballet and that's that.
Henry: But I'm good at karate. I'm not good at ballet.
Peter: Madame Tutu says you have to practice, Henry. So you don't dance like an elephant.
[Henry turns into an elephant and uses his trunk to carry Peter. Fluffy runs away when she sees that]
Mum: Don't be horrid, Henry! 
Henry: Please, can I go to karate, Mum? Please?
Mum: N-O spells 'no', Henry! Now come and try on your costume!
[Henry growls as the screen fades to black, before opening back up again to show Ralph and Henry entering the gate. Ralph is wearing a karate gi and Henry is wearing a jumpsuit while carrying a duffel bag]
Ralph: A raindrop? You're going to be a raindrop?!
Henry: Yeah.
Ralph: That's really wet! [laughs]
Henry: Do- Do you think everyone will laugh at me?
Ralph: Till they wet their pants! [puts an arm around Henry as they continue walking] Still, could be worse. You could be a...puddle! [chuckles]
Henry: This calls for drastic action!
[The scene fades to the dance studio, where everyone is preparing for a dress rehearsal in their costumes. Linda is sleeping on a chair as Sam and Ted talk among one another, Henry can be spotted sitting next to William and Andrew in their raindrop costumes, Peter and Gordon come out from behind the curtain, Gurinder is brushing her hair and complaining how the headpiece is ruining it, Soroya is singing, and Margret and Susan could be seen practicing their moves.]
Margret: And one, and two, and three...
Madame Tutu: [enters the room and claps to get everyone's attention] Good afternoon, class.
Everyone: Good afternoon, Madame Tutu!
Madame Tutu: Time for our dress rehearsal! Take on your positions, everyone.
[The class begin to collectively move to their assigned places, except for Linda who is still asleep.]
Madame Tutu: Linda! I said everyone!
Linda: Oh. Mm... [walks toward the stage]
Madame Tutu: Thank you. Now.. [begins pointing in various in various directions] Clouds over there...flowers over there...thundercloud over there...[walks to the center of the stage] and raindrops over 'ere. [walks toward the radio and begins playing the music] And, begin!
[The class starts the routine]
Madame Tutu: Like the soufflé, children! Like the soufflé!
[As the class continues to dance, Henry goes behind Margret and bumps into her, seemingly on purpose]
Margret: Augh-! Miss! Henry's pushing!
[the class continues to dance, ignoring Margret]
Madame Tutu: Lift and plié! Come on, Margret! [Margret growls at Henry and shoves him as she says this] Think thunder!
Henry: Grrr! [steps on Gurinder's foot]
Gurinder: Miss! Henry's kicking!
[A shot of the dancer's legs can be seen, and Henry is tapping his feet in the opposite pattern of the other dancers]
Madame Tutu: Heel, toe! Heel, toe! Heel, toe! Turn to the left, and lupé!
[As she says this, the camera moves up to show the dancers' heads. As they turn, Henry turns the opposite direction. As the dancers slide toward the left, Henry slides to the right, causing him to bump into Ted and Sam.]
Sam: Miss! Henry's barging!
Madame Tutu: [ignoring the complaints] And, pirouette!
[The dancers spin together, but Henry spins toward them quickly, and he ends up colliding with everyone else causing them to all fall over like dominoes.]
Everyone but Henry: MISS!
[Henry laughs as Madame Tutu turns the music off. She walks back toward the stage, clapping her hands with an annoyed look on her face.]
Madame Tutu: Silonce! That was a DISGRACE! [jabs a finger in Henry's chest]
Henry: I'm sorry, Madame Tutu! [sniffles] I tried my best. Maybe I shouldn't be in the concert. [sniffles and fake cries]
Madame Tutu: Listen to me, Henry. There are no failures in my class.
Henry: There aren't?
Madame Tutu: No. Everyone has talent if they work hard. And you will be up on that stage with everyone else! Don't you worry.
[Henry moans in defeat as the screen fades to black, then it opens back up as Henry exits school with Ralph and Bert.]
Henry: What am I gonna do, Ralph? I haven't got much time left!
Ralph: Maybe the concert will be so bad, no one will notice you.
Henry: Eureka! That's it! Ralph, I need to borrow your karate costume! [grabs Ralph's duffel bag and runs off with it]
Ralph: Hey!
Henry: Thanks! [runs out the gate]
Ralph: What did I say??
Bert: I dunno.
[the screen changes to a nighttime view of the school. People go inside the building as the scene switches to the backstage area. Madame Tutu puts the CD inside the boombox.]
Andrew: Oooo...my tummy feels funny.
Margret: [peeking through the curtain with Susan] I can see my mum. [pushes Susan to the side]
The Best Boys: [holding hands] We are clouds! We are clouds! We will be the best clouds we can be!
Madame Tutu: [clapping her hands] Come on, everyone! Time to get into your costumes!
[Everyone leaves the area as Henry peeks in through the curtain. Once the coast is clear, he switches the music CDs.]
Henry: Time to get into MY costume!
[The scene switches to the auditorium as families of the dancers take their seats. The camera pans over to Mum and Dad.]
Mum: Oh, I hope Peter isn't too nervous.
Dad: I hope Henry behaves himself.
