Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a princess and a peasant. She lived in a glittering castle. There, she had a servant who kept her castle in order, chose her daily robes for the day, prepared her royal breakfast, and served her in her dreamhouse. She had fame. She had fortune. She had (clears throat) product indorsements. But she was not what she seemed. On the other hand, in a humble village far away, the peasant had none of her luxuries, but he had a dream. So, with a fond farewell from his closest friends and gifts of good luck, best wishes and useless junk, although it’s the thought that counts, his world was about to clash with hers in a place called: Hollywood!
Chorus: Our time has come
Walk in the sun
Oh I’ve packed my hopes, we’re ready to roll
We’re on our way,
With a little faith we can,
Step from the shadows and tell everyone,
Turn the spotlight on,
Now our time has come,
Our time has come,
We’re straight through the sun,
Oh with our heart and soul,
Watch us go,
We’re on our way,
With a little love we know,
Nothing can stop us,
So tell everyone,
(song: Danny’s Arrival Song)
Danny: Since I was a little kitten, I had a dream,
My name in lights: Danny the Song and Dance Cat!
I got on a bus and came to the town, where dreams can come true.
It’s gonna happen for me.
It could happen for you.
Pudge: Who me?
Danny: You can do anything if you try,
The most impossible dreams can come true,
If you believe it!
This is my kind of town,
It’s clear as the nose on your face!
Wow. This is the time,
This is the place.
This is the time…
Pudge: So long!
Sawyer: Taxi!
Danny: This must be the place! Hollywood!
Where the streets are paid with gold.
Where the kitties never grow old,
In Hollywood!
Hollywood! Where the stars don’t shine at night,
They walk in the broad daylight, In Hollywood!
Dig that face,
You ain’t seen nothin’ like it anyplace!
It’s right up on the movie screen,
If you know what I mean,
Look at me, I’m gonna be the cat to see,
I’m going down to history, Just watch me!
Hollywood!
Where the streets are paid with gold!
Where dreams can never grow old,
Right here in Hollywood!
Danny: Hiya m’am how ya doing?
Frances: Poor.
Danny: My name’s Danny mind if I sit down? Oh excuse me.
Tillie: Cranston! Oh don’t mind him Danny. He was just leaving! (knocks Cranston aside) Hi, I’m Tillie this is Cranston. Cranston, Danny, Danny, Cranston, Frances, Danny, Danny, Frances, T.W., Danny, Danny, T.W! So, new in town?
Danny: I just arrived. I hear Farley Wink gives good parts for animals.
Frances: If you call hanging from a hook a good part.
Tillie: Well at least it’s part huh?
T.W.: There’s no use trying, Miss Tillie. My fortune cookie last night said, "Give it up, you loser."
Frances: I need a drink.
Danny: Let’s see go to Hollywood, check.
Tillie: Whatcha got there?
Danny: Well, I was hoping if I work really hard by Friday, I’ll land my first big part. Well, that’s how it worked for you guys, right?
Frances and Cranston: Oh, sure! Right!
Cranston: Why not Thursday?
Tillie: Now Danny I hear they’re casting a big Noah’s Ark movie. Lots of work for animals. Oh your tie looks crooked, let me fix you up. Good Luck. (snort laughs)
Danny: Thanks a lot!
Farley: Look, you big ape! I need those monkeys for the ark picture! Yes, hello? You caught me at a bad time; I’m casting the ark picture! Get off the line! Yes, hello! Wink here.
Danny: Mr. Wink?
Farley: Yes?!
Danny: If you have any openings for a talented cat, I’m your man.
Farley: Uh-huh.
Danny: I mean, cat.
Farley: All right! Send over those two chickens and two lions, but don’t send them over in the same car this time! Sheesh! Ok, let’s see now (starts yammering)… Burros, Camels, Caribou, Cats. Say you! Can you play a cat?
Danny: I am a cat!
Farley: How would you like to be in the next Darla Dimple picture?
Danny: (gasps) The Darla Dimple? America’s Sweetheart, Lover of Children and Animals?
Farley: One and the same, kid. One and the same. Just sign here, here, and here, and here… (yammers)
Tillie: Sawyer? What happened to you? (giggles)
T.W.: Walk under a ladder? Sm-smash a mirror?
Cranston: Have you looked in one lately?
Sawyer: No, a cat crossed my path.
Tillie: Really? Orange Tabby?
Sawyer: Yeah.
Tillie: Straw hat?
Sawyer: Yes.
Tillie: Green vest?
Sawyer: How’d you know?
Tillie: Ooh… hippo intuition.
Farley: ….. here and here and initial this.
Danny: Wow! This is a dream come true!
Farley: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But don’t forget: 10% of that dream is mine! Welcome to Hollywood!
Sawyer: Farley Wink’s Animal Actors Agency, may I help you? You need a lamb for the Moses picture?
Lamb: Yeah!
Sawyer: Oh a sacrificial lamb?
Lamb: No, no…
Sawyer: Sorry fresh out. Everyday I ask myself, "Why do I put up with this?"
Frances: For the glamour.
Sawyer: What, this pigsty? No offense, Herb.
Herb: None taken.
Sawyer: Unless you're referring to the glamour of filing. The romance of typing. Tillie, what are you doing?
Tillie: Oh, I’m just fixing you up. You'll wanna look pretty in case you meet someone nice.
Sawyer: Yeah, right. As if he’s gonna come waltzing right through that-
Farley: You’re gonna make it big, kid. You’re the cat’s meow. You can meow, can’t ya?
Danny: Of course.
Farley: Ok good. WHERE’S SAWYER?! Oh, Sawyer, sweetie baby!
Sawyer: Whatever it is, the answer is no.
Farley: Can’t find a female cat for the Ark picture. Guess who’s gonna fill in?
Sawyer: Hmm… you?
Farley: Nah, I only fill in for those dashing Clark Gable types.
Sawyer: Frankly, Clark, I don’t give a….
Farley: Sawyer!
Sawyer: I'm a secretary, not an actress.
Farley: Come on, I’ll give you Sundays off.
Sawyer: I never work Sundays.
Farley: I’ll pay you double time.
Sawyer: Triple time.
Farley: Triple time?!
Sawyer: Is there an echo in here?
Farley: You’re pushing me!
Sawyer: No chow, no meow.
Farley: Ok, ok, ok, triple time! Here’s your partner he’s new in town be nice!
Sawyer: Ah, forget it!
Farley: Ah. ah, ah, a deal’s a deal. Now, get over to Mammoth Pictures! (snickers)
Danny: Wow you’re… you’re soaking wet! Is it raining outside? It was sunny when I came in. Oh let me get the door for you. Where I come from, you see clouds first, then rain falls down.
Sawyer: YEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!
Danny: Oh sorry. Miss?
