Rock-a-Doodle

(The camera opens to focus on the milky way in outer space, as the inter titles for Goldcrest, Sullivan-Bluth Studios, and Don Bluth are shown, followed by the movie title "Rock-a-Doodle" appears in neon purple. The inter titles for the production information appear next as the camera pans right from the milky way to the planet Earth. The sun rises behind the Earth as Patou begins narrating.)

Patou: (narrating) "Once upon a time, back before I knew how to tie my shoes, the sun came up. Now, I know an everyday sunrise may not seem like such a big deal to some folks. But, imagine for a moment: If instead of rising up like this one morning where you lived, she took a look around and decided to go back to sleep. It happened once to us. Let me tell you all about it."

(One of the sun's rays rockets past the camera and rushes north, letting the camera follow the ray. It finally ducks under the atmosphere and swoops over a river, past a wind pump, passes through a field of cornstalks and an old fence gate, and arrives to a hill where Chanticleer is crowing and yodeling loudly.)

(Song: Sun Do Shine)

Chanticleer: (singing) "Cock-a-doooooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Whoa-Oh-de-oh-de-lay-eeee! Cock-a-doo, what a day! The sun is shining brightly! Cock-a-doo, sunny day! Down here on the farm! Cock-a-doo, stay away, you big ol' wet ol' rain cloud, or I'll cry out loud with this voice of mine!"

Patou: (narrating, overlapping the song) "This was our rooster, Chanticleer. And though it was true that he liked to horse around some; fact was that boy could sing."

Chanticleer: "Sun do shine..."

Pig father: (singing) "Sun do shine, sun do shine, sun do shine..."

Chanticleer: "Well, my daddy taught me how to sing, and that's why this voice means everything! Sun do shine..."

Patou: (narrating) "We all had our jobs on the farm, and Chanticleer's was to wake up the sun. And when he crowed, up she came."

Chanticleer: (singing) "You'd better shine!"

Chorus: (singing) "You'd better shine!"

Chanticleer: (singing) "You'd better shine!"

Patou: (narrating) "Hey, look! Here's me tying my shoes."

Chanticleer: "Hi, Patou, what you doin'?"

Patou: "I'm trying to tie these doggone shoes."

Chanticleer: (laughs) "Again?" (chickens clucking) "Well, hi ladies."

Hen 1: "Oh, he's so handsome."

Hen 2: "Sings like a dream."

Hen 3: "He's a dream."

Hen 4: "And he's single, too."

Patou: (narrating) "He maybe wasn't the smartest bird that ever lived, but when he crowed, there was plenty of peace and harmony."

Snipes: "Hey!"

Patou: "Well, plenty of harmony, anyway. And lots of sunshine."

Chanticleer: (singing) "Well, my daddy taught me how to sing, and that's why this voice means everything! Sun do shine, you'd better shine!"

Chorus: "You'd better shine"

Chanticleer: (singing) "Well, the sun do shine, you better shine!"

Chorus: "You better shine!"

Chanticleer: (singing) "You better shine, sun, you better shine! Digidigidigidowdow!"

Farm animals: (laughing)

Patou: (narrating) "There was no doubt about it. Old Chanticleer kept us animals up and shining."

All: "Good day, Mr. Chanticleer."

Patou: (narrating) "But all that was about to change. One morning, before Chanticleer was even awake..."

Rooster: "Hey, Chanticleer!"

Patou: (narrating) "A stranger snuck onto our farm to stop Chanticleer from crowing. Of course, Chanticleer wouldn't give up without a fight. But what he didn't know was that this stranger had been sent by the Grand Duke of Owls. Nasty fella." (Chanticleer and Rooster grunting) "The good news here was that Chanticleer had won the fight. The bad news was, the Grand Duke's bully had done his dirty deed, for in all the commotion, Chanticleer had plum forgot to crow. And the sun was comin' up without him." (Animals gasping) "When Chanticleer saw this, it broke his heart. He reckoned maybe his crow never did raise the sun."

Duck 1: "Look, it's comin' up without him! You're a phony!"

Animal 1: "He's a fake!"

Snipes: "Hey, everybody, cock-a-doodle-doo!"

Animals: (laughing)

Patou: "The Grand Duke's evil plan had worked. He had turned us against our very best friend. And without a reason to crow, poor Chanticleer left the farm to look for work in the city. Then came the rain, and our troubles with the Duke."

Edmond: "Who's that, Mom?"

Mother: "That's the Grand Duke. He's the one who's causing all the trouble. He sent that mean old rooster to Chanticleer's farm to pick a fight."

Edmond: "Hm, how come?"

Mom: "Because he didn't like Chanticleer doing all that crowing and bringing up the sun."

Edmond: "How come?"

Mom: "Well, like most owls, he likes the darkness and the rain."

Edmond: "I'm not afraid of the dark." (gasps)

Mom: "Oh, it's you. You scared me!"

Dad: "Dory, we got big problems. Have you looked out there? If that rain doesn't stop, we're all gonna go floatin' down the river."

Patou: (narrating) "This is my favorite part of the story. His name is Edmond. Of course, he didn't look quite like this when I first met him. Anyhow, we weren't the only folks having our troubles. Poor Edmond's family was having their share too."

Father: "The river's widened too fast; we gotta reinforce the sandbags."

Mother: "Oh, you think that'll work?"

Father: "We'll make it work. I'll get the boys."

Edmond: "Me too!"

Mom: "You stop right there.

Edmond: "Aw, Mom, I'm one of the boys."

Mom: "He meant the big boys."

Edmond: "I'm big enough."

Mom: "Not yet you're not, darling."

Radio: "The U.S. Weather Bureau is expecting yet another-- (static) Downpour in the areas worst hit by this week's flooding."

Scott: "Dad, Mom, come on, bring the stuff around to the front."

Radio: "Governor Dale declared a state of national emergency--"

Dad: "Come on, guys, move it. I need some help, we've gotta get the animals inside."

Patou: "So while Scott and Mark got to help protect the house against the flood, poor Edmond was left behind where he'd be safe and out of trouble."

Edmond: "It's my house too, I wanna help."

Mom: "Well then, pray for the rain to stop, and that'll help.

Father: "Dory, I can't find the flashlight!"

Mom: "Coming! Now, you stay here where it's safe, pumpkin. I'm gonna help your father, and I'll be right back."

Scott: "Come on, dad."

Father: "Great, let's go!"

Mark: "Hey, Dad, they said on the radio the National Guard might come."

Edmond: "I am too a big boy. (reading the book) "And without a reason to crow, Chanticleer left the farm. "Then came the rain...""

(thunder)

Scott: "Mom, here!"

Mom: "How is she, Frank?"

Dad: "Just start the truck, she'll be okay. Hey, hey!"

Edmond: "I know what we need here. We need Chanticleer."

(thunder)

(water rushing)

(gasps)

Scott: "Mom!"

Dad: "Boys, the levee's breaking!"

Edmond (shouting): "Chanticleer! Chanticleer!"

(explosion)

(Edmond gets knocked away by the lightning blast, as a gust of red clouds with hearts, planets, and different shapes followed by a claw-shaped tree branch emerge in Edmond's bedroom.)

Patou: "Edmond had the right idea to call for Chanticleer, but he never coulda guessed who was gonna answer."

(The gust dies down as the screen fades to black. The screen fades open on the Duke's feet making heavy footsteps.)

Edmond: "Chanticleer?"

Grand Duke: "No... it's not Chanticleer."

Edmond: (scared) "Who...Who are you?"

Grand Duke: "You put your finger in the Duke's face, remember? These are expensive, little brat! (tosses his broken monocle at the boy) But that is not why the Duke is going to eat you."

Edmond: "Eat me?"

Grand Duke: "Oh dear, now I've gone and spoiled the surprise. Oh, always doing that. (eats a mushroom) But you see, we creatures of the night have worked very hard to make absolutely sure that that bird does not return! (angrily) And you, you, with no regard for the feelings of others,have the nerve to call him back here by name! And besides, I positively loathe rock and roll. (laughing maniacally)

Edmond: (running off) "You're not gonna eat me!

Patou: (narrating) "And that's when the Duke hit the ceiling." (The Duke literally breaks through the ceiling and uses his magic breath to stop Edmond in his tracks. If Edmond wanted to bring Chanticleer back to raise the sun, the Duke was gonna have somethin' to say about it.

Grand Duke: "Kittens are more digestible."

Patou: (narrating) "Young Edmond was about to have the most amazing adventure he'd ever dreamed of."

Grand Duke: (cackling)

Edmund: (screaming)

Grand Duke: (evil laughter) (The Duke has brought Edmond's bedroom into the animated world. The Duke takes pleasure in watching the transformation unfold, and as Edmond pops out of his sleeve as a kitten, the Duke grabs him by the neck.)

Edmond: (pleading for help) "Mom, Dad, wake me up!" (A barking noise is head outside.)

Patou: (narrating) "This is where I come in." (Patou chomps the Duke's ankle.)

Grand Duke : (screeches in pain, as he drops Edmond on the floor and shakes Patou with his foot. Edmond watches the action before him.) "You'll pay for this, Patou! This does not concern you."

Patou: "It does if it's about Chant-" (gets strangled by the Duke)

Edmond: "The light, the owls hate the light!" (As the Duke strangles Patou, Edmond quickly shines a flashlight in the Duke's face.)

Grand Duke: (screams) (He gets blown away which blows Patou next to Edmond. The camera looks at the gaping hole inside the wall that the Duke entered.)

Patou: "Whew. Hey, hey boy.We were this close. Oh, that flashlight biz was quick thinking on your part.What's your name, little fella?"

Edmond: "Edmond. Is he gone?"

Patou: "Yeah, he's gone, but he'll be back, and he won't be alone, the coward.I woulda whopped him if I'd had my shoes tied. But you know something, tying shoes is harder than dry dog food."

Edmond: "Whatcha wearing shoes for?

Patou: "Bunions; I got a load of bunions, and them shoes help my feet."

Edmond: "Here, let me show you how to tie 'em. (gasps) Jeepers, I'm all furry! Well, kittens are furry. But, but, I'm a little boy! (yowling scream) (gulp) Did that come outta me? (Comes to the truth) I'm-I'm a cat! He turned me into a cat! (To Patou) Help me, do something! I can't be a cat, I'm a boy! Patou, what'll I do?"

Patou: "Alright, steady boy, keep your pants on."

Edmond: (gasps and rushes off to put some clothes on) "Yuck! What am I doing? I'm licking myself!"

Peepers: "Patou! (Edmond sniffs for Peepers' scent and gets down on all fours.) Patou!"

Patou: (calls out to Peepers) "I'm in here!"

Peepers: (continuing) "By my calculations, this can't possibly be the city. (checks the map) Let's see. 367 southeast...or is it 676? (sees Edmond leaping into her path and gasps)

Patou: (laughing) "It's okay Peepers, it's Edmond.He's a nice kitty."

Edmond: (correcting Patou and Peepers) I'm a boy! And I almost ate a mouse.I must be crazy."

Peepers: "You bet your sweet whiskers."

Edmond: (amazed) "Wow."

(The rest of Chanticleer's friends come into Edmond's room by the tree branch.)

Turkey: "There ain't no city around here."

Stuey: "Oh, sadness."

Patou: "Hey, aren't you gonna tie my shoes?"

Edmond: "I can't, I can't help anybody. I'm too little. I'm a scrawny furball runt. Mom and Dad won't even recognize me! Mom, Dad, help! (thunder) Oh, Chanticleer. - What? - If he doesn't come back and crow soon, it won't shine again and the rain will keep coming down and the water will get higher and higher 'til, 'til... We all drown. -

Snipes: "Wowie, wow, wow, wow, wow! Are we close? Are we near the city? Us magpies are just made for the city. Come on already, hurry up, Peepers!

Peepers: "We are not looking for the city. We are looking for Chanticleer.

Snipes: "Well, he's in the city, isn't he?"

Edmond: "Then, he is in the city."

Snipes: "Girls, they think they know everything. Why don't you run home, be a mousewife, make cheese."

Peepers: "Snipes, you think you're so superior."

Snipes: ""Thuperior." Nice lisp."

Peepers: "My lisp isolates and elevates me and makes me a rare specimen."

Snipes: "Ah, this is flippin' garbage!"

(arguing)

Patou: "Pipe down, you two."

Edmond: "The story's true! You all laughed at him and he went away."

Patou: "You're right, son. We done wrong, and that's why we're searchin' for the city. We gotta find Chanti and apologize. - Then he'll forgive us... - Come home... -

[Chicks] And raise the sun! -

Well, I know where the city is. I've been there lots of times as a boy. -

A boy? -

Before that big owl turned me into a cat! -

Owl? (snorts) Owl? -

Edmond, would you take us to the city? -

I can't. Look at me, I'm a cat. No, a little kitty. What can I do? -

I can do lots of things, and I'm a lot smaller than you. And furthermore, I could forgive you for being a cat if you would take us to the city. Of course, if you're a fraidy-cat... -

I'm not afraid! -

Or like, a scaredy-cat... -

Me, scared? -

Hey, guys... - Lay off the boy. - Hey, hey guys... -

Okay, okay! I'm not afraid of anything. I'll take you to the city and find Chanticleer.

(animals laughing)

And bring him home, and save Dad and Mom and the farm. -

Alright, hope you can swim, guys. -

[Edmond] Oh no! (coughing)

We don't have to swim, we'll go by boat. -

Oh, this is serious. -

Peepers, you'll need this if those owls return. -

Here! -

Owls? -

I'm sticking with you. -

Well fellas, this is it. (gulps) -

Snipes: "The city! The lights, the chicks, the food!"

Edmond: "Bye! Good luck with the owls!"

Stuey: "Owls?" (whimpers)

(thunder)

Patou: (narrating) "Yep, owls. While Edmond set our course for the city in the USS Toybox, the Duke and his owls were back in their lair stormin' up some powerful nasty weather."

(Toccata and Fugue in D Minor)

Grand Duke: (spoken) "So he turns on the Duke, and with what do you suppose he turns on the Duke?"

Owl Minions: (singing) "What, Master?"

Grand Duke: (spoken) "A flashlight!"

Owl Minions: (singing) "What a horrible thing to do! What a horrible thing to do! Thing to doooo!"

Grand Duke: (spoken) "But then, when my back is turned, what four-legged flea-bitten louse comes sneaking through the window and has the nerve to bite me on the leg?

Owl Minions: (singing) "Who, who, who, who, who?"

Owl Minion 1: "Who?"

Grand Duke: (spoken) Patou.

Owl Minions: (gasp)

Grand Duke: (spoken) "Yes!"

Owl Minions: (singing) "Death to Patou!"

Grand Duke: (spoken) "Destroy the farm! Destroy the cat, the dog, or do you want the chicken back?!

Owl Minions: (singing) "No, we hate the sun! The answer's noooo!"

Grand Duke: (spoken) "And, it'll make my leg feel so much better if that rooster never crows! (laughs maniacally)

Owl Minions: (singing) "We hate the sun, That much we know!"

Grand Duke: (spoken) "Rain!"

Owl Minions: (singing) " We hate the rooster we'll never let him crow!"

Grand Duke: (spoken) " Never let him crow!"

Owl Minions: (singing) " We hate the sun from head to toe!"

Grand Duke: (spoken) " From head to toe!"

Owl Minions: (singing) " We hate the rooster, we'll never let him crow! Never let him crow!"

Grand Duke: (spoken) " Never let him crow."

Hunch: (flies in through the thorns, grunting) "Reverse engine!" (makes engine noises and lands on the Duke) "Ow!"

Grand Duke: (falling) "Aaahhh!"

(Both the Duke and Hunch land on the organ bench.)

Hunch: (grunts as he climbs on the organ keyboard, sounding off a few jumbled notes) "Uncle Dukey! Uncle Dukey!" (The Grand Duke shouts at him, as he uses his breath to turn him into a duck-like creature.)

Hunch: (whining) "I wish you wouldn't do that."

Grand Duke: (sternly) "Hunch, I told you never to call me that."

Hunch: "Yes, sir! Uh, no, sir, sir! Guess what I just saw: Patou the dog floating in a toybox down the river, and he has this cute little white kitty with him-"

Grand Duke: (cackles and turns his nephew back into an owl) "Hunch... (chuckles) my little p-pygmy nephew. (Hunch chuckles) Come to uncle."

(Hunch giggles and steps on the organ keyboard giving off a few more jumbled organ notes. Just as Hunch reaches the Duke, the Duke disgustedly raises his hands to avoid cuddling him.)

Hunch: "Ah!" (splats on the ground with some of his feathers flying off)

Patou: (narrating) "Meanwhile, bound for the city, Edmond steered us through the perils of the flooded river."

Peepers: Starboard ho!"

Snipes: "Starboard who? Left or right?"

Edmond: Uh-oh. Giant tree, a hundred feet and closing!

Peepers: "Jumpin' Jehosaphat! We need wind power!"

Edmond: "40 feet!"

Snipes: "Well guys, I-I think I'm slowing you down. Yeah, I'll see you later, guys."

Edmond: "30 feet!"

Snipes: "Ahh!"

Peepers: "Come on, Patou, pull on this. (Patou raises the sail.) It worked!"

Edmond: "Turn now! (screaming) This is the right way, guys!"

Hunch: (humming "Ride of the Valkyries") "Okay guys, you heard the Duke! Total and complete, oh-ho, annihilation! Bombs away!"

Edmond: "Aah! Hey!"

Hunch: "Bombs away! Bombs away!"

Patou: "Edmond, grab ahold!"

Hunch: "Ooh ho ho, gotcha! Oow!"

Edmond: "Get my camera!"

Patou: "Huh? What does he want with a camera?

Peepers: "He said, get his camera."

Hunch: "Ooh, I gotcha, kitty!

Edmond: "Put me down!"

Hunch: "Hold still!"

Owl Minions: (growling)

Peepers: "Say cheese! (presses the camera button)"

Owl Minions: "Oooh!"

Patou: "Ha ha! We got 'em!

Edmond: "Uh-oh... Oh no!"

Patou: "Get the lid."

Hunch: "A-ha! An adequate pipe! (laughs maniacally)"

(Inside the aqueduct pipe, the toy box zooms inside the pipe as Snipes screams in panic.)

Snipes: "L-Let me outta here. I can't breathe! Help, I need air."

Edmond: "What's wrong with him?"

Peepers: "He's claustrophobic. Teeny-weeny tight spaces make him very, very nervous."

Edmond: "Uh-oh. Uh-oh!"

Patou: "Get him away from the lid!"

Snipes: "Help, we're trapped, we're trapped like rats! We're trapped, we're trapped, we're trapped. Trapped like rats..."

Patou: "Come back here, you crazy bird! Now settle down, you're rockin' the boat."

Snipes: "I can't breathe..."

Patou: "Don't make me lose my temper, Snipes."

Snipes: "I need air, I don't wanna swim! Mommy, we're trapped Mommy!"

Patou: "Settle down!"

Edmond: "Patou!"

Patou: "Oh, no."

(Patou, Edmond, and Peepers try to seal the leaks with their paws, while Snipes paddles around the water while being wrapped around the paddleball, muffling. The water eventually engulfs them all)

Edmond: (screams)

All: (coughing)

Peepers: "That was close. Mercy."

Edmond: "Oh no!"

Peepers: "Abandon ship! Abandon ship!"

All: (screaming) (coughing and spluttering)

Edmond: (curious) "What's that smell?"

Snipes: (frustrated) "Garbage. Ah, this is pathetic. I risk my life and what do I get? Garbage! Why, I've never been so--Wow!"

Edmond: "The city!"

Snipes: "Wow!"

Peepers: "It's so beautiful."

Patou: "Now, all we got to do is find Chanticleer (chuckles), and that's gonna be like hunting for a needle in a haystack."

(The camera fades out on the group on the oil drum and returns to the shot of the Owls' lair. The camera cuts to the the keyboard and lower pipes of the Duke's organ and pans down left past a gigantic boiler system with steam leaking from its pipes. The camera reaches the Duke cooking a pie in the kitchen.)

Grand Duke: (yawning and presses the oven bellows)

Hunch: (makes engine noises and crashes into pots, pans, and dishes, and lands into a cooking pot) "Ow!"

Grand Duke: "Oh, no."

Hunch: "Uncle Dukey, Uncle Dukey! I got 'em!" (The Duke traps him in the pot as Hunch grunts.)

Grand Duke: (asks himself) "If I kill my nephew, would that be murder or charity?" (gets hit in the face by the pot lid."

Hunch: "I got 'em, I really got 'em! No more kitty, sir. Mission, ho-ho, accomplished!

Grand Duke: "And the dog?"

Hunch: "Gone! Wiped out, sir. (The Duke snickers wickedly.) Total and complete, ho-ho, annihilation.

Grand Duke: (snickering) "Annihilation. How did you do it?"

Hunch: Adequately."

Grand Duke: "Ade-(stammers)-Wait, what's that supposed to mean?"

Hunch: "Well, Uncle, we sucked them into an adequate pipe."

Grand Duke: (suspiciously) "A what?"

Hunch: "That's what it said: "Danger, Adequate Pipe.""

Grand Duke: (forced calmness) "Oh, dear Hunch. Come to Uncle."

Hunch: (aahing)

Grand Duke: (enraged) "You imbecile! That's not an adequate pipe; IT'S AN AQUEDUCT PIPE! It leads straight into the city!"

Hunch: (gulps)

Grand Duke: "The Duke gives you one last chance, Hunch! Them or you. (slams a cleaver into the counter surface, almost killing Hunch) "Get to the city!"

Hunch: "Oh, not the city, sir. Oh no! It's too bright! I'll go blind."

Grand Duke: "Oh, say it isn't so." (drops his nephew a pair of sunglasses)

Hunch: (looks at the sunglasses and looks back at his uncle.)

(The camera fades out from the scene and jump cuts back to the shot of the Owls' Lair with lightning striking from the mountaintop as the camera pans right past the flooded farm and countryside, over the hills, and then zooms in on the skyline of the City. The camera cuts to the list of a phonebook.)

Edmond: (reading the phone book) "Chalmers, Chanta, Chantilly, Chantz. He's not in here. (He leaps down from Patou's head and leads his friends into the city.) Let's go!"

(The camera shifts to a shot of the friends looking high and low for Chanticleer, as the song "Come Back to You" plays.)

Patou: (narrating, overlapping the song) "You ever get that feeling when you're lookin' for something that it's right under your sniffer? I know it seems crazy, but it was almost like we could hear his voice calling to us. You know, like he was just waiting for us to come and ask him back. But we looked everywhere, and we talked with everyone. But, nobody had heard of Chanticleer, nobody. Funny thing was, he was right under our nose the whole time. Or should I say, we were under his."

(The camera cuts to a shot of the friends sitting outside a nightclub, as an audience cheers for a singer inside the building.)

Edmond: "No, Patou, that's not how it goes. For the hundredth time, it's over, around, under, and through, that's how Patou ties his shoe. Now you say it."

Patou: (groaning)

(Meanwhile, the camera cuts to Hunch, now wearing his sunglasses and singing his theme song, as he flies into the city, just passing through a billboard that says "Dairy King" with an elephant drinking a shake. He passes through the elephant's mouth, as he pulls out a telescope.)

Hunch: (spotting the animals) "Ooh, there you are! Pilot to bombardier: Enemy target below! I'm going in for a closer look! Cover me! (makes airplane noises and lands in a nearby bush)

Peepers: (gasps) "What was that?"

Hunch: (giggles) "Complete atrocitation."

Edmond: "Alright you guys, we've rested long enough. They're counting on us back at the farm."

Peepers: "Well, if you ask me-"

Snipes: "We didn't."

Peepers: "Jumpin' Jehosaphat!"

Edmond: "What?"

Peepers: "It's him!"

Snipes: "Who?"

Peepers: "No wonder we couldn't find him, he's changed his name!"

Patou: "Chanticleer is the King?"

Edmond: "The King?"

Patou: "Ooh, your Highness!"

Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, the King!"

Patou: (narrating) "Old Chanticleer may have stopped crowin', but he hadn't stopped using that voice of his."

Chanticleer: (singing) "Let me be your rooster, and let me roost with you"

Girls: (screaming)

Chanticleer: (singing) "Let me be your rooster. Let me hear your sweet voice coo"

Chorus: (vocalizing)

Chanticleer: (singing) "Girl, you've thrown me for a loop. Well, you're the number one chick in the chicken coop!"

Patou: (narrating) "Chanticleer had become a star."

Chanticleer: (singing) "I wanna, rock, rock-a-doodle to you, I wanna rock, rock, rock 'til the day is through, I want to rock, rock-a-doodle-doo through the night!"

Chorus: (singing) "I wanna rock!"

Chanticleer: (singing) "Rock, rock 'til the morning light, well it ain't right to rock alone. It takes two, I do believe, I'm gonna rock-a-doodle-doodle to you!"

Chorus: "To you!"

Chanticleer: (singing): " Like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me,"

Audience Member: (faints)

Chanticleer: (singing) "I'm gonna rock-a-doodle-doodle to you,"

Chorus: " To you!"

Chanticleer: (continues singing) " Like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me!"

Chorus: "Rock-a-doodle-doodle..."

Patou: (narrating) "But, not everybody liked the King. Goldie here was jealous of him."

Pinky: "...less my manager's fee of 60%."

Goldie: "But, Pinky, I just have to know when."

Pinky: (growls) "Goldie, will you not bother me with this right now? You've gotta go on in two minutes."

Goldie: "But, I'm too good for the chorus.! (huffs) What's he got that I ain't got?"-

Pinky: (laughs) "A voice."

Chanticleer: (singing) "I wanna rock, rock-a-doodle through the night..."

Chorus: "I wanna rock!"

Chanticleer: (singing) "Rock, rock, 'til the morning light..."

Patou: (narrating, overlapping the song) "Fortunately for us, Goldie was a lot smarter than she sounded and a lot nicer too. She just didn't know it yet."

Chanticleer: (singing) "... Like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me, yeah!"

Chorus: "Rock-a-doodle, rock-a-doodle, rock-a-doodle-doo to me!"

Pinky: " Lookie, Goldie, when I found him, he was a nobody. Nobody wanted him, nobody cared about him. (grabs a record and spray-paints it in gold) But, I picked him up out of the gutter and now look at him."

Chanticleer: (singing) " Well, it ain't right to rock alone..."

Pinky: " Everybody starts in the chorus. Goldie. Of course (snickers), you could give up showbiz!"

Goldie: (horrified) "Pinky!"

Chanticleer: (singing) " I wanna rock-a-doodle-doodle to you, just like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me!"

Chorus: "Rock-a-doodle-doo to me!"

(audience cheering)

Chanticleer: "Thank you, thank you very much. I love you! I love you!"

Edmond: "Now that we found him, how do we get in to see him?"

(Hunch stands behind the Chanticleer prop, armed with his knife and giggling)

Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, (Hunch hops in front of the door, baring his teeth and ready to go in for the kill.) the King is leaving the building.

Hunch: (the door slams into him) "Ow!"

Bouncers: (singing) "Out of the way! Move it, move it, move it!"

Edmond: "Chanticleer! King, over here!" (waves his coonskin hat)

Max: "Don't touch the star!"

Bouncers: (singing) "Try, you won't get very far! We'll bounce you once, bounce you twice, If you get out of line, we're not very nice! We'll bounce, bounce you all over the place! Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, if we don't like your face!"

Max: "Get away from the star!"

Patou: (narrating) "Chanticleer was a star alright. But, it's hard to be happy without friends, even if you are famous. (Pinky shuts the helicopter door, and the helicopter takes off.) I reckon he'd be awfully glad to see us, if we could just figure a way to get near him."

Hunch: (dizzily) "Aggravation." (The blade slides off the handle.)

Pinky: (chuckling) "You were fantastic tonight, really! What can I get for ya, kid? You name it, anything! You want a beach house in Maui? Ooh, I'll buy you the whole island. Cars, yachts, what? Name it, it's yours!" (Pinky hits the golf ball hard that it bounces off the wall.)

Chanticleer: "Ah, thanks."

Pinky: "Say, what's eatin' you?"

Chanticleer: "Well, I...Well, I just don't know. I guess I'm just a little lonely, that's all."

Pinky: "Lonely? (laughs) Are you crazy? There's 20,000 people out there screaming your name and you're lonely? (glass breaking) I love this guy."

Chanticleer: "Yeah, but back on the farm..."

Pinky: "Hey, you told me yourself what they did to ya on the farm. They don't love you. (using walkie-talkie) Murray, give us a roll. (Murray tips the helicopter on the side. Pinky and Chanticleer lean outside the window to see a massive crowd of Chanticleer's adoring fans clustered together in the shape of a heart.)

Pinky: (cont., shouting above the noise)"SEE THAT?!"

Crowd: "We want King! We want King!"

Pinky: (cont.) "THEY LOVE YOU, EH?!" (The helicopter leans right side-up again, bringing Pinky and Chanticleer back inside, as Pinky drives Chanticleer to his private bedroom.) You were incredible! Mm-mm-mm, the King! (on walkie-talkie) Murray, get us outta here." (The camera cuts to the rear of the helicopter making its way to the helipad.) "Hello, Goldie? How'd you like to get out of the chorus?"

Patou: (narrating) "Meanwhile, back on the farm..."

Stuey: (whimpering) "She's fadin' fast! How many more batteries have we got?"

Minnie Rabbit: "Just these two."

Stuey: "Oh, sadness."

(phone ringing)

Stuey: (squeals) "Whoa, sorry ma'am." (grabs the phone) "Who is it, who is it? What do you want? We've got an emergency here. Yeah, yeah, Edmond? Anybody here named Edmond?"

Edmond: (correcting Stuey) I'm Edmond! The little boy who--I mean, the kitty! Who's this?"

Stuey: " Stuey, Stuey the pig." (snorts) "It's the kitty!"

Minnie Rabbit: "Stuey, the light's g-going out."

Stuey: "The lights are goin' out! The lights are goin' out! L ook, Kitty, we're runnin' out of time here. We need Chanticleer, quick!"

Edmond: "We'll be there as soon as we can!"

Minnie Rabbit: (whining) " Stuey!"

Stuey: (stressed) " Yeah, yeah! I hear ya, I hear ya! Sorry, Kitty, gotta go, gotta go. (squeals) Good-bye."

Edmond: "Stuey, what about my family? Are they alright? Stuey, Stuey? Stuey!" (The Duke drags the phone up to the rooftop with his hands, snickering wickedly, as two of his owl minions stand on the other side of the hole)

Grand Duke: (grabs the phone) "Hello, kitty? (chuckles) It's the Duke." (One of his servants snickers nearby.) I've some rather bad news, I'm afraid. (clears throat) When the batteries expire, so will your friends. Toodle-oo, cheerio, bye." (He cuts the phone cord with his beak.)

Operator: "The number you have dialed is no longer in service."

Edmond: (horrified) "Oh, no!"

(Song: Tweedle le Dee)

Grand Duke: (spoken) "Tweedle le Dee!"

Owl Minions: (singing) "Tweedle le Dee!"

Grand Duke: (spoken) " They're running out!"

Owl Minions: (singing) " They're running out!"

Grand Duke: (singing) " They're running out of batteries!"

Owl Minions: (singing) " Of batteries!"

All: "Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-ha! No batteries!"

(tires screeching)

Pinky: (on the phone) "Yeah? Oh howdy, boss, how are you? Uh-huh, huh? Did you say a cat, a dog, a bird and a mouse? (waits a beat) What is this? (laughs) Some kinda joke, huh?

Grand Duke: "Well, I don't think it's funny, Pinky. They want to bring Chanticleer back to the farm. You don't want that, he makes you lots of money. I don't want that, he makes me miserable."

Pinky: "Right, boss. What should I do about it?"

Grand Duke: " Your chicken thinks they don't want him on the farm. Well, that's good. All you have to do is make sure he keeps thinking that. It's not good that the kitty and his friends should talk to your chicken, capisce?"

Pinky: " Yeah, thanks a million. This has been most enlightening." (hangs up the phone)

(Exterior: Pinky's Palace)

Seller: "Penguin suits, two for a dollar! You wanna see the King? Come and get your penguin suits! Remember: No dogs, cats, birds or mices."

(Interior: Pinky's Palace)

Edmond: (writing the letter) " "Dear Chanticleer, we're sorry. Come home, your friends." Here guys, come on, sign this. (to Snipes) Here."

Snipes: "Must you bother me whilst I dine?"

Peepers: "Snipes, sign this."

Snipes: "Oh heavens. Where have you been all my life? Lasagna a la pasta."

Patou: "Just sign it."

Snipes: "Ah, sure."

Peepers: "Excuse me, sir, would you please see that the King gets this?"

Edmond: "Yeah, it's really important."

Snipes: "Oh, and waiter? We asked for light cola. This stuff weighs a ton!"

Rhino Waiter: "Hmm. (on the walkie talkie) Get me the boss."

Goldie (hesitantly) "It sounds bad, Pinky"

Pinky: "It's only a little bad, not a big bad. Look, he's lonely, he needs a friend. And that bad little kitty wants to steal him away. You don't want that, do ya?"

Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, Pinky's Palace proudly presents the King!"

Chanticleer: "Thank you, thank you very much.

(cheering)

Patou: "Would you look at that?"

Peepers: (amazed) "Chanticleer?"

Chanticleer: (singing) "Well down in Tupelo, I was so alone. I never had no money to have no honey for my own. That's why I'm treasure hunting-"

Chorus: "Whaa-Oo!"

Chanticleer: "Treasure hunting for my love..."

Chorus: "He's treasure hunting for his love."

Chanticleer: (singing) "Well I've been everywhere, searching high and low. But I ain't found no rainbow yet that has a pot of gold. Well, I'm treasure hunting-"

Peepers: "You know, I think he dyed his hair."

Patou: Hey, what are you doing little fella?"

Edmond: Something I learned in school."

Snipes: Cats don't go to school."

Edmond: "But boys do."

Max: "Hey! You boys is dead meat."

Edmond: "Chanticleer!"

Chanticleer: (singing) "Good King Neptune said he'd help me find my treasure far below the sea.."

Chorus: "Far below the sea!"

Chanticleer: "He introduced me to every single purty mermaid..."

Edmond: Patou!

Chanticleer: "So I keep treasure hunting"

Goldie: "Do you promise no one gets hurt?"

Pinky: "No one gets hurt. You just do the number, make him happy, and keep him away from that bad little kitty!"

Chanticleer: "Treasure hunting for my love..."

Chorus: "He's treasure hunting for his love."

Pinky: "Hey, there's no lobsters in this number. Get them outta here! (drags two of his bouncers to the side) Wait a minute, (gives them shark costumes) don't spoil the show, huh?"

Chanticleer: (singing) "That treasure's all I'm thinking of.

Chorus: " Thinking of."

Chanticleer: " Thinking of."

Chorus: " Thinking of."

Chanticleer: Well, I got treasure hunting fever, Yeah-Ya! Well, I got treasure hunting fever, Yeah-Ya! Well, I got treasure hunting fever, Yeah-Ya! Well, I got treasure hunting fever...for love!

Chorus: Got that treasure hunting fever!

Chanticleer: "Yeah, I got treasure hunting fever...for love!"

(applause)

Pinky: "Now!"

Goldie: (singing) "Deep deep, the trouble you're in I've thrown you to the sharks and you can't swim -

Patou: "Oh, no."

(Song: Kiss 'n Coo)

Patou: (narrating) " Well, you can take the rooster out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the rooster. Old Chanticleer had found himself a city perch sorta tailored to remind him of the farm he'd left behind. Trouble was, with Goldie on the scene, he wasn't feelin' so lonesome for us anymore, which was exactly the way Pinky wanted it, 'cause that was exactly the way the Grand Duke wanted it. There was just one problem with their plan, of course: Goldie was only supposed to pretend to fall in love with Chanticleer, but she was falling in love for real, and that can really change a pheasant."

Goldie: (singing) "Love has said hello, you don't know...what that means, really means to me..."

Patou: "Ooooh, I think we've lost him."

Edmond: "What do you mean? He's right there."

Peepers: "Oh, no, no, he ain't. He's a thousand miles away."

Edmond: "Huh?"

Peepers: (sighs) "Isn't it romantic? When roosters fall in love, they lose all reason."

Snipes: "Aaah, enough mush. Let's go eat."

Edmond: "Eat? How can you think of food at a time like this?"

Snipes: "Lasagna! (puckering his beak) Mm-mm-mm-mm."

Edmond: "Chanticleer! Chanticleer!"

Chanticleer: "Oh Goldie, when I left the farm, I had such a big hole in my heart you could've put a John Deere tractor through there."

Goldie: "Oh, you poor thing."

Chanticleer: "My heart is so full, I could-I could just explode like a bloated lamb."

Goldie: "Oh, King, you say the nicest things."

Edmond: "Chanticleer!"

Chanticleer & Goldie: (singing) "This song is our treasure that we'll share our whole life through..."

Edmond: "Chanticleer!"

Patou: "I'm sorry, little buddy. But, we're just no match for that painted feather duster."

Edmond: "Oh, yeah?"

Patou: "Uh, hey, where you goin'?"

Edmond: "Well if I can't talk to him, I'll talk to her.

Chanticleer & Goldie : (singing) " As I kiss and coo. Kiss, kiss and coo with you."

Chorus: (singing) "Kiss and coo with you."

(Chanticleer and Goldie kiss each other on their beaks, as sparkles spread around the scene. It irises out with the shape of a heart.)

(The camera then cuts to a newspaper press printing newspapers about Chanticleer, while other papers warn about the Duke's rainstorms affecting the countryside.)

Newsboy 1: "Read all about it, mysterious rains spreadin'!"

Newsboy 2: "Sun don't shine for farmers!"

(A walrus tosses a stack of newspapers from the City News truck. This time, there are newspapers talking Chanticleer and Goldie's new movie deal with Pinky Pictures.)

Edmond: (reading the paper) ""Goldie Pheasant to co-star in King's new picture." You know, I think I'm too little to get over those gates."

Peepers: "Well, I'm not."

Patou: "Hey, I think that's her trailer over there."

Goldie: (humming and putting on perfume)

Edmond: (clears throat) "Excuse me, ma'am?"

Goldie: (gasps, blasting the perfume in Edmond's face) "Who are you?"

Edmond: "Ma'am, I, I-" (sneezes)

Goldie: "Oh, my goodness!"

Edmond: (continues sneezing )

Goldie: "Oh, you poor thing! There." (hands Edmond a tissue) Now, what are you doing in my dressing room?"

Edmond: "Please ma'am, you're the only one who can help us! We have to talk to Chanticleer. I mean, the King. There's a terrible flood, and if he doesn't come home and crow..."

Goldie: (horrified) "Wait a minute, wait a minute! You're the bad little kitty Pinky told me about!"

Edmond: "Bad, me? I'm not bad."

Goldie: (backs away from Edmond) "You go away or I'll scream!" (screams)

Edmond: "Please, if you'd just listen--" (runs away to avoid being hit by a vase)

Goldie: (continues screaming)

(Edmond crashes into a table leg, causing a coffee mug to crash on the ground. He then runs to his friends hiding under a food truck.)

Edmond: "What happened?"

Snipes: "Ah, she's a woman."

Peepers: "W-what? (growls) That's the last straw, I've had it!"

Snipes: "I wasn't talking to you-"

All: (Scream inside the net)

Pinky: (laughing) "Well, well, well...the dog, the cat, the bird and the mouse! We meet at last, eh?" (laughing)

Edmond: "Let us go!" (gasps)

Pinky: "Max, take 'em to my trailer. Lock 'em up. Make sure the King doesn't get a whiff of this." (continues laughing)

Goldie: (closing the curtains) "Oh, no! What have I done?"

Max: (laughing)

(Hunch flies overhead)

Max: (continues) "No dogs, cats, boids or mices!" (continues laughing)

Hunch: "A-ha!"

Patou: (narrating) "Now, I gotta admit, as bad guys go, the Duke's nephew Hunch was more a hoot than he was horrible."

Hunch: (gurgling inside the tank) "Oh, boy!"

Patou: (continues narrating) "But still, he was a nuisance, and as we were tied up at the moment, we weren't all that happy to see him."

Hunch: (pulls out his pocket knife that produces the wrong tools) "Oh, come on!" (The knife produces a kitchen blade.) A-ha!" (Drives the knife into the roof hatch) (sings) I will always think of you. Oh, Ma, I miss your apple pie. Ma, I miss your stew. But, most of all Ma, I miss you! (looks inside and props up the hatch with a bamboo cane) Oh-ho, look at that! Ooh, anticipation!" (laughs as the hatch lands on his head) "Ow!" (The hatch also lands on the bamboo cane, launching a cactus plant into the air. Hunch gets tangled in the rope and gets launched with the cactus plant. He gasps and screams as the cactus plant pulls him into the trailer, where it bounces on an armchair, while Hunch lands in a stuffed tiger's mouth. He pulls his head out of his jaws, and he sees the cactus plant falling toward him, groaning. The plant lands on him, with its vase cracking into pieces and dirt spilling on the floor.)

(The camera cuts to a chorus line of bees jumping up and down and buzzing in tune to the next song: Back to the Country. A small flurry of snowflakes hits each bee as they are buzzing, as the camera pans away to see Chanticleer and Goldie standing on a motorcycle.)

Chanticleer: (singing) "Let's get away, you and me together, Two birds of a feather flying-"

Pinky: "Cut, cut, cut!" (An alarm bell rings) "Murray, what's with the snow here? (Murray, an orangutan dressed in purple, stops dumping the cotton balls into a portable hopper.) Take five, everybody! And Miss Pheasant, how 'bout a smile, hmm? (loses his temper) Aw, it's supposed to be summer, for cryin' out loud!"

Goldie: "King, may I talk to you?"

Chanticleer: "Ah, honey, don't pay no mind. (Pinky keeps complaining offscreen.) You're gonna do just fine."

Goldie: (grabs the paper plane out of her breasts) "Yeah, but-"

Chanticleer: (snatching the paper from Goldie) "Now, now, no buts about it, honey."

Goldie: (snatches the paper from Chanticleer, desperate) "King, I've done something awful."

Chanticleer: "What is it, baby?" (Goldie hands him the paper, which Chanticleer opens.) "Patou, Snipes, Peepers. Goldie, where'd you get this?"

Goldie: "From you, that night we first met."

Chanticleer: "They were here?"

Goldie: "They're still here."

Chanticleer: "Why didn't you tell me?" (Pinky's golf club bursts through the countryside canvas prop.)

Pinky: "'Cause she wasn't 'sposed to!"

Goldie: (gasps)

Pinky: "Goldie, I'm disappointed in ya. I said to entertain him, not to educate him."

Chanticleer: "Entertain me? What's this all about?"

Pinky: "Calm down, kid, your friends are just fine."

Goldie: "No, they're not, King. He's got them tied up in his-"

Pinky: (angry) "Shut up!"

Chanticleer: "What? (pounces on Pinky) Where are they? (Max grabs him from behind.) What have you done with 'em?"

Pinky: (leaning up, panting) "Don't hurt him, boys. He's got a movie to make."

Chanticleer: "I ain't making nothin' with you!"

Pinky: "Oh, but King, I got a lotta money tied up in this picture! I don't wanna lose my money, and you don't wanna lose your friends!"

Chanticleer: "That's blackmail!"

Pinky: "That's showbiz! (turns to the camera) Make-up! (The camera becomes engulfed by the insides of Pinky's mouth.)

(The camera cuts back to Pinky's trailer.)

Hunch: (armed with a fork) "Here, kitty, kitty."

Edmond: "Get away from us! Get away!"

Hunch: (leaping up, pointing his fork at the animals) "Oh, ho-ho! Acceleration!" (He giggles evilly, until he sticks his fork into the TV antenna, electrocuting him.) "Ow!"

(TV playing)

(The electrocuted Hunch, getting his fork out of the TV antenna, launches away from the TV set and crashes into a closet bed that twists and then falls on him. He stumbles out from under the bed and climbs onto a vacuum that speeds away as Hunch holds on for dear life. The vacuum bumps into the mattress, as Hunch is sent flying into a fan, where Edmond and his friends are held captive in the net. The fan spins around at high speed, causing Edmond and the others to scream, until Patou's shoelaces snap off the fan, as they crash land on the bed and the fan breaks away from the ceiling. Edmond, Patou, Peepers, and Snipes bounce off the mattress and land in an armchair, grunting.)

Hunch: (sees the fan coming toward him) "Ow!" (The fan lands on Hunch, which causes the bed to rise and spin again, before it puts itself back in the closet, with electricity sparking and Hunch's feathers coming loose. The camera cuts back to the movie set.)

Max: "Stand by."

Murray: "Stand by!"

Max: " Quiet on the set."

Murray: "Quiet on the set!"

Max: " Hey, shut up!"

(sadly) "King, I'm sorry."

Chanticleer: "Don't talk to me, I'm thinkin'."

Pinky: "Roll sound!"

Max: "Speed."

Chanticleer: " Where are they?"

Goldie: " They're in Pinky's trailer outside."

Max: " Mark it. 42A, take two." (clacks the clapboard)

Chanticleer: (looking for a way to get out, until he sees an open stage door.) "Oh, yeah!"

Pinky: "Picture!"

Chanticleer: "Hang on, honey!" (powers up the engine)

Goldie: (screams)

Pinky: "That's not in the script! (An alarm blares in the background) Stop those birds! Cut, cut, cut, cut!"

Goldie: "Look, there it is!"

Hunch: "Hoo-ho-ho, annihilation! Abomination! Hold still!" (hits a step of a trailer floor, then corners Edmond and the others, waving his fork)

Goldie: (screaming) "Watch out, King!"

Chanticleer: "Whoa!"

(Chanticleer and Goldie crash inside the trailer, where they knock Hunch out of the way, and Patou knocks out Chanticleer with a frying pan by accident. Hunch lands in a goldfish bowl and smiles embarrassingly at an angry goldfish, humming.)

Patou: "Oh, no, no! I've killed him!"

Edmond: "Chanticleer!"

Chanticleer: "Hi, fellas." (passes out)

Snipes: "He's dead, he's dead, he's dead, he's dead!"

Goldie: "King! Oh, my goodness!"

Patou: "Hey, fellas, I'm sorry about this."

Peepers: "Jumpin' Jehosaphat!"

Edmond: "He's not dead, untie me!"

(engines roaring)

Edmond: "Oh, no!"

Peepers: "Let's get him out of here. Through there!"

Goldie: "Oh no, not Pinky's Caddy."

Edmond: "Can you drive a car?"

Peepers: "Piece of cake. Edmond, you steer."

Edmond: "Steer? I can't, I've never driven a car."

Peepers: "Edmond, do it.

Edmond: "We'll crash!"

Peepers: "Don't be such a fraidy-cat!"

Max: "Hey!"

Edmond: "Whoa!"

Peepers: "Edmond, open your eyes!"

Edmond: "Uh-oh, look!"

Hunch: "Abomination! Oww!"

Peepers: "Come on, Edmond, we gotta lose that trailer!"

Edmond: How?

Peepers: Edmond, cats are climbers.

Edmond: I'm a boy!

Peepers: Just climb down there--

Edmond: What? I can't.

Peepers: Don't be such a sissy!

Edmond: I'll fall!

Peepers: You're a cat, you won't fall!

Edmond: I will!

Peepers: Oh, I'll do it myself. You're such a scaredy-cat. (screams) Edmond!

Edmond: Patou, help! Hold on! (screams)

Peepers: Help!

Edmond: Peepers! (echoes as Edmond's soul runs inside his own brain)

Peepers' ghost: Of course, if you're a fraidy-cat...Fraidy-cat...

Edmond: (voiceover) I'm not afraid of anything.

(voices overlapping)

Patou: (voiceover) Hey, lay off the boy.

Rhino Waiter: (voiceover) Get me the boss.

Peepers' ghost: (voiceover) You're just a scaredy-cat!"

Pinky: (laughing evilly)

Grand Duke: (laughing evilly)

Edmond: (shouting) No! Stop! (The screen breaks to bring Edmond back into reality. He runs to the front seat and take the wheel) Guys, we're gonna go back and get her!

(tires screech)

(horn honking)

Pinky: Oh sure, they wanna play chicken, eh?

Murray: Don't worry, boss, I ain't turnin'.

Pinky: Idiot, that's my car!

Edmond: Whoa! Snipes, the brake! I think she landed up here. Peepers! Come on, we gotta find her!

Pinky: (whines) Ooh, my baby! My beautiful baby. What are you lookin' at? Get up there!

Edmond: Peepers!

Goldie: Oh, King, wake up. (squeals) Oh, my shoes!

Bouncers: (grunting)

Max: Bozo!

Edmond: Snipes!

Snipes: Aaahh! We're trapped, we're trapped, we're trapped!

Edmond: Don't look down!

(A metal support beam breaks away from its holding plate, causing the water tower to lean sideways, as a column shoe becomes pulled off from the ground.)

Patou: This is it, fellas, we're goin' down.

Edmond: Snipes, do something!

(Patou stuggles to hold onto the railing, grunting, as Pinky's helicopter appears from nowhere.)

Edmond: "Don't let go!" (Patou's grip gives away, as the animals fall back to earth.)

All: (screaming as Pinky's helicopter catches them, letting them land in the cockpit)

Pinky: (laughs) What a catch! (laughing) Bring 'em in, Murray. (sees Murray) Murray?

Peepers: Murray, who's Murray?

Edmond: Peepers!

Peepers: Edmond! Let's have some help up here; this is the Sikorsky X-62, and these things are craaazy!

Pinky: The King! He's gone and I'm ruined!

Stuey: Oh, no, no, no!

Grand Duke: Oh, yes, yes, yes. (Stuey screams) Gentlemen, go down and invite our friends to dinner.

Owl Minions: (singing) Who, who, who, who? We are the creatures of the night, and we invite you all for dinner. There's plenty of food to go around, when the food is... you!

Stuey: Who, me?

Owl Minions: Yes, you! We thought a picnic would be nice, and we're so pleased that you could join us. We're glad you're home, trick or treat! Fa-la-la-la-la-la, how sweet!

Grand Duke: (spoken) Now's the time, say your prayers...time's up!

Owl Minions: (singing) Fa-la-la-la-la-la, how sweet! Fa-la-la-la-la, let's eat

Grand Duke: (clears throat) Please, pass the pork. (laughing) Excellent, gentlemen, excellent! (screaming)

Edmond: Alright you owls, this is Edmond. It's over for you, we've got Chanticleer!

(cheering)

Edmond: Where's my mom and dad? I can't see them.

Patou: Don't worry, we'll find them.

(rotors whirring)

(screams)

Chanticleer: (groaning)

Edmond: How is he, Goldie?

Goldie: I think he's waking up.

Edmond: Good, let's go in for a landing.

Peepers: Hold on!

Hunch: Ta-da, annihilation! (laughs)

Goldie: (squeals)

Hunch: (humming "Ride of the Valkyries")

Edmond: Aah!

Peepers: She's going down! Abandon ship, abandon ship!

Grand Duke: (laughing)

Chanticleer: Is it time for the show?

Goldie: King, you're heavy.

Chanticleer: Show me that stage, and gimme that mic. Oooh, where am I?

Patou: Chanti, you're home.

Chanticleer: Huh? Ooh, I feel like I've been hit by a 800-pound mule. What's happening?

Peepers: There's no time to explain.

Patou: Chanticleer, you gotta crow and you gotta crow now!

Edmond: The owls could be here any second!

Chanticleer: Who are you?

Peepers: He's a friend. Now please, crow!

Chanticleer: Oh, I can't. I don't know if I ever did.

Peepers: Of course, you did!

Patou: Chanti, we were wrong.

Edmond: It's your job to bring up the sun.

Peepers: It hasn't shined since you left.

Chanticleer: Ah, but look. (wheezing) Cock-a-doo...Doo...

Snipes: Uh-oh.

Chanticleer: Aw, guys, it's no use. All I do now is sing the blues. Hmph, "the King."

Edmond: We don't want the King; we want Chanticleer!

All: (gasping)

Chanticleer: The Duke!

Patou: (growls)

Grand Duke: (laughing) I know it's frightfully impolite to eavesdrop like this, but are you by any chance having trouble with your throat? Nothing to say? Cock-a-doodle-doo?

Edmond: Stop it! Chanti, crow!

Grand Duke: Shut up, you!

Edmond: Come on, you guys! Show him we believe!

Grand Duke: I told you to be quiet!

Edmond: Chanticleer, Chanticleer, Chanticleer, Chanticleer, Chanticleer! Chanti- (choking)

Chanticleer: Duke! Leave him alone! It's me you want, not him!

Grand Duke: (laughing)

Patou: Chanticleer...Chanticleer.

Grand Duke: Very stupid, Patou.

Patou: (cont.) Chanticleer, Chanticleer, Chanticleer...

Grand Duke: Look here, quiet!

All: Chanticleer...

Grand Duke: Quiet, I say!

Chanticleer...

Grand Duke: Shut up!

All: Chanticleer! (all chanting)

Chanticleer: (wheezing)

Grand Duke: Fools, all of you, silence! I'll give you Chanticleer!

[All] Chanticleer, Chanticleer, Chanticleer!

Grand Duke: (maniacal laughter)

Duck's Voice: Look, it's comin' up without him! You're a phony!

Grand Duke's Voice: Are you by any chance having a little trouble with your throat?

Duck's Voice: You're a phony! It's comin' up without him!

Edmond's voice: It's your job to bring up the sun.

Peepers' voice: It hasn't shined since you left.

Edmond's voice: It's your job to bring up the sun. ( Chanticleer! Chanticleer!)

Peepers' voice: It hasn't shined since you left.

Chanticleer: (gasping)

Patou's voice: Chanticleer, you gotta crow, and you gotta crow now!

Grand Duke's voice: Cock-a-doodle-doo?

Patou's voice: Chanticleer, you gotta crow, and you gotta crow now!

Chanticleer: Cock-a-dooooo! Cock-a-dooooo! Cock-a-dooooo! (echoing through space)

Grand Duke: (yelling) (coughing)

Hunch: He-he-he-he!

Grand Duke: Hunch, it's me, Uncle Dukey.

Hunch: Uncle Dukey?! (snickers) Come here.

Grand Duke: Now, Hunch, no!

Hunch: (chuckling) Animation, it's music to my ears! Hold still, you little twerp! Aggravation, abomination, alienation! (laughing) Oh, imagination! Anticipation, multiplication, wow!

Patou: Well, our journey had finally come to an end. Old Chanticleer was back to stay, the sun was up, the rain had stopped, and the owls were gone for good. Everything seemed to be turning out just fine...except for one thing: Edmond. We just didn't know how to help him.

All: (gasp)

Snipes: He was a little boy.

Peepers: Oh, he was a handsome little boy. Edmond, Edmond... (Peepers' voice becomes overlapped by Dory's voice) Edmond, Edmond. Edmond...

Mom: Edmond, Edmond, come on honey, wake up. (whimpering) Wake up, honey.

Edmond: Mom, Mom! Look, I'm not furry anymore! I'm a boy!

Mom: Lie down, sweetheart.

Edmond: Mom, is that the sun?

Mom: Mm-hmm. Edmond, Edmond, get back into bed.

Edmond: Wow.

Mom: Okay, take a look.

Edmond: Look, Mom, Chanticleer raised the sun.

Dad: Hi, Edmond! How you doing, son?

Edmond: Fine, but what happened to Chanti and the gang? Mom, where are they?

Mom: Edmond, Chanticleer is just a storybook. Those characters are only make-believe. Now come on, let's get back to bed.

Edmond: No mom, no they're not, I saw them. I bet they're wondering what happened to me. I wanna tell them I'm okay.

Mom: I'm sure they know.

Edmond: You think so?

Mom: They'll be just fine.

Patou: Edmond's mom was right, of course, but she didn't know why. She also never knew just what stopped the rain that night. But that just goes to show you, with a little help from your friends, you can do just about anything.

Edmond: Welcome home, Chanticleer. Thanks for bringing back the sun.

Chanticleer: Cock-a-doooo-doodle-doodle-dooo-dooo!

Edmond: Chanticleer!

Chanticleer: Hey, Edmond! Whoo-wee! (sings Sun Do Shine reprise) Cock-a-doo, what a day! The sun is shinin' brightly, Cock-a-doo sunny day, down here on the farm! Cock-a-doo, stay away, you big ol' wet ol' rain cloud Or I'll cry out loud with this voice of mine! Sun do shine! Sun do shine, sun do shine, sun do shine! Sun do shine! Sun do shine, sun do shine, sun do shine! Sun do shine! Sun do shine, sun do shine, sun do shine! Well, my daddy taught me how to sing, and that's why this voice means everything! Sun do shine, you better shine! You better shine! Well, the sun do shine, you better shine! You better shine! Sun do shine! Sun do shine, sun do shine, sun do shine! Sun do shine! Sun do shine, sun do shine, sun do shine! Well, the sun do shine! Sun do shine, sun do shine, sun do shine! Well, my daddy taught me how to sing, and that's why this voice means everything! Sun do shine, you better shine! You better shine! Well, the sun do shine, you better shine! You better shine!You better shine, Sun, you better shine! Digidigidigidowdow!
