"Simba" (Shrek) Part 02 - The Flying Talking Dancing Cat

## Transcript:

**THE NEXT DAY - FOREST**

Fairy tale creatures are put in chains and led into wagons by Duloc Guards. The Captain of the Duloc Guards sits at a table paying a line of people their rewards for turning in the fairytale creatures. Those waiting in line include Peter Pan, who is carrying Tinkerbell in a cage, Geppetto who is carrying Cody, and a farmer carrying the Three Little Pigs.

GUARD: All right. This one's full. Take it away! Move it along. Come on! Get up!

THE CAPTAIN: Next!

GUARD: (Taking Morgana's broom) Give me that! Your flying days are over. (breaks the broom in half)

THE CAPTAIN: That's 20 pieces of silver for the seawitch. Next!

The captain hands over the reward to the villager who turned Morgana (from The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea) in. The villager mutters to himself.

VILLAGER: Lousy twenty pieces...

GUARD: Get up! Come on!

Waiting in line is Danny (from Cats Don't Dance) on a leash and his owner. He looks in horror at the Morgana (from The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea) and a group of blue smurfs being loaded into a wagon.

GUARD: Sit down there! Be quiet!

Bear Nita (from Brother Bear 2) and Bear Kenai (from Brother Bear; 2003) are locked inside giant cages, with Koda (from Brother Bear; 2003) in his own cage.

KODA (Brother Bear; 2003): (crying) This cage is too small.

DANNY (Cats Don't Dance): (To his owner) Please, don't turn me in. I'll never be stubborn again. I can change. Please! Give me another chance!

Lady Tremaine (Cinderella; 1950): Oh, shut up. (Smacks Danny)

Danny (from Cats Don't Dance): Oh!

THE CAPTAIN: Next! What have you got?

GEPPETTO: This little wooden puppet.

Cody (From The Rescuers Down Under; 1990): I'm not a puppet. I'm a real boy. (his nose grows)

THE CAPTAIN: Five shillings for the possessed toy. Take it away.

Cody (From The Rescuers Down Under; 1990): Father, please! Don't let them do this! Help me!

Geppetto takes the money and walks off. The Lady Tremaine (Cinderella; 1950) steps up to the table.

THE CAPTAIN: Next! What have you got?

Lady Tremaine (Cinderella; 1950): Well, I've got a talking dancing cat.

THE CAPTAIN: Right. Well, that's good for ten shillings, if you can prove it.

Lady Tremaine (Cinderella; 1950): Oh, go ahead, little fella. (Danny stays silent).

THE CAPTAIN: Well?..

Lady Tremaine (Cinderella; 1950): Oh, oh, he's just...he's just a little nervous. He's really quite a chatterbox. (Smacks Danny again) Talk, you boneheaded cat, talk!

THE CAPTAIN: That's it. I've heard enough. Guards!

Lady Tremaine (Cinderella; 1950): No, no, he talks! He does. (Moving Danny's lips) I can talk. I love to talk. I'm the talking-est damn thing you ever saw.

THE CAPTAIN: Get her out of my sight.

Lady Tremaine (Cinderella; 1950): No, no! I swear! Oh! He can talk!

The guards grab the Lady Tremaine (Cinderella; 1950) and she struggles with them. One of her legs flies out and kicks Tinkerbell out of Peter Pan's hands, and her cage drops on Danny (from Cats Don't Dance)'s head. He gets sprinkled with fairy dust and starts floating upwards.

Danny (from Cats Don't Dance): Hey! I can fly!

PETER PAN: He can fly!

THREE LITTLE PIGS: He can fly!

THE CAPTAIN: He can talk?!

Danny (from Cats Don't Dance): Ha, ha! That's right, fool! Now I'm a flying, talking Dancing Cat. You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly but I bet you ain't never seen a Dancing Cat fly. Ha, ha! (The pixie dust's effects begin to wear off) Uh-oh. (He drops out of the air and hits the ground with a thud.)

THE CAPTAIN: Seize him!

Danny (from Cats Don't Dance) dodges the guards as they try to grab him and runs deeper into the forest.

GUARDS: He's getting away! Get him! This way! Turn!

Danny (from Cats Don't Dance) escapes deeper into the forest and runs head first into Simba (The Lion King; 1994)'s backside. Simba (The Lion King; 1994) turns around to see who bumped into him and glares down at Danny (from Cats Don't Dance). Danny (from Cats Don't Dance) looks scared of Simba (The Lion King; 1994) for a moment, but he quickly hides behind him after seeing that the guards have caught up to him.

THE CAPTAIN: You there. Lion!

Simba (The Lion King; 1994): Aye?

THE CAPTAIN: By the order of Lord Farquaad, I am authorized to place you both under arrest and...(Simba (The Lion King; 1994) slowly approaches the group of guards, the guards visibly frightened by him) transport you to... a designated...resettlement...facility?

Simba (The Lion King; 1994): Oh, really? You and what army? (Smiles)

The Captain looks behind himself and sees that all the other guards have abandoned him. The Captain tucks tail and runs off. Simba (The Lion King; 1994) shakes his head and starts walking back to his swamp. Danny (from Cats Don't Dance), impressed by Simba (The Lion King; 1994), follows him.
