[0:00] Kitten: Meow, meow, and Clucky are two best friends trying to make sense of the world around them. Adventures and discoveries are around every bend. Come along and explore with them.
[0:23] Kitten: Season 2, Episode 7, The Move, Part 2.
[0:29] Clucky: Hamster Escape!
[0:33] Dog: Ruff! Ruff! They're here! They're here!
[0:37] Clucky: What? Who's here? Ruff! Ruff!
[0:40] Dog: Disturbing an old man's nap.
[0:42] Dog: Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
[0:43] Clucky: What's all the fuss about?
[0:44] Dog: People and boxes!
[0:46] Dog: Ruff!
[0:47] Clucky: Today is a big day that the friends are coming to help pack up the house.
[0:51] Dog: Okay doggies, out of the way. I need to let our visitors in.
[0:54] Dog: Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
[0:56] Visitor: Ciao! Hola!
[0:57] Visitor: Hi, welcome. Thanks for coming.
[0:59] Visitor: No problem. Glad to bring some boxes.
[1:01] Dog: Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
[1:02] Visitor: I must go find Maddox.
[1:03] Visitor: You're welcome, ma'am.
[1:04] Dog: You need to know, people are here.
[1:06] Dog: Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
[1:07] Dog: It's back to my pillow for me. No danger, just friends. I'll supervise from my comfy spot.
[1:14] Dog: Ruff!
[1:15] Clucky: Supervise indeed. Hmm, I am pretty sure supervision requires your eyes to be opened.
[1:22] Dog: Ruff!
[1:23] Dog: Ruff! Ruff!
[1:24] Dog: Ruff!
[1:25] Clucky: Kitten! Maddox!
[1:26] Dog: Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
[1:27] Dog: Ruff!
[1:28] Clucky: Kitten! Maddox!
[1:30] Clucky: Today is a big day! It's packing day!
[1:35] Kitten: Hi Rosie, did I hear? Are our friends here to help us pack up?
[1:38] Dog: Ruff!
[1:39] Clucky: Good girl. Thanks for letting us know.
[1:42] Dog: Ruff!
[1:43] Clucky: Octopus finder!
[1:44] Clucky: See, she's very excited.
[1:47] Clucky: I'm so glad our friends have come to help.
[1:49] Clucky: It is easier to pack up things with friends to talk to.
[1:53] Clucky: It helps me to be distracted from the thought of leaving.
[1:56] Kitten: Meow. I'll go check on Clucky.
[1:59] Clucky: Are you heading down to the yard?
[2:01] Kitten: Meow.
[2:02] Clucky: I understand, it's probably too much commotion for you.
[2:05] Clucky: Say hi to Clucky and the hens for me.
[2:07] Kitten: Meow.
[2:09] Clucky: Get back, you vicious beast! This is my home and I shall defend it from you and your horde of feather fiends!
[2:17] Clucky: Cock-a-doodle-doo! Charge, ladies!
[2:21] Dog: Ruff!
[2:22] Dog: Ruff!
[2:23] Dog: Ruff!
[2:24] Dog: Ruff!
[2:25] Dog: Ruff!
[2:26] Dog: Ruff!
[2:27] Clucky: Trying to surround me? It won't work.
[2:30] Clucky: Ha! Clucky!
[2:31] Dog: Ruff!
[2:32] Dog: Ruff!
[2:33] Dog: Ruff!
[2:34] Dog: Ruff!
[2:35] Dog: Ruff!
[2:36] Dog: Ruff!
[2:37] Clucky: Ha! Clucky, I've blocked you with my shield.
[2:40] Dog: Ruff!
[2:41] Clucky: Oh, still think you can win?
[2:43] Dog: Ruff!
[2:44] Clucky: Look what I have, my secret weapon.
[2:48] Clucky: Mealworms!
[2:50] Clucky: Food!
[2:51] Clucky: Worms?
[2:52] Dog: Ruff!
[2:53] Clucky: No, he has deployed the ultimate weapon!
[2:56] Clucky: We are doomed!
[2:58] Clucky: Deliciously doomed.
[3:00] Clucky: He does not fight fair.
[3:02] Kitten: Meow.
[3:04] Clucky: Oh, hey, kitten. You are just in time to witness my victory.
[3:08] Dog: Ruff! Ruff! He cheated.
[3:11] Kitten: Meow.
[3:12] Clucky: Oh, that people are here? Guess I better head in and help with the packing.
[3:17] Clucky: Thank you, Commander Clucky, for an epic battle.
[3:20] Dog: Ruff! Ruff!
[3:23] Kitten: Meow.
[3:24] Clucky: Are you enjoying your spoils of war?
[3:27] Clucky: These worms are not spoiled.
[3:28] Clucky: No, they are quite delicious.
[3:30] Clucky: Spoils refers to treasures that you get when you conquer a place.
[3:33] Clucky: Not that the food is bad.
[3:35] Clucky: Oh, well then, yes.
[3:37] Clucky: Even though we lost the battle, Xander always gives us treats.
[3:41] Clucky: Do you think he'll remember to pack the treats?
[3:44] Dog: Ruff!
[3:45] Clucky: Should we go remind him?
[3:46] Dog: Ruff!
[3:47] Clucky: Of course he won't forget the treats.
[3:49] Clucky: Has he ever forgotten treats?
[3:51] Dog: Well, no.
[3:52] Clucky: Besides, there's a lot of people in the house putting things in boxes.
[3:55] Clucky: I was afraid I might get my tail stepped on.
[3:58] Clucky: So I ventured out to see all of you.
[4:00] Clucky: Xander said it was packing day.
[4:02] Clucky: He came out here for a quick battle because he was feeling worried.
[4:06] Kitten: What was he worried about?
[4:08] Clucky: Lots of things.
[4:09] Clucky: What if he forgets to pack something?
[4:11] Clucky: What if something gets lost along the journey?
[4:13] Clucky: What if we don't like traveling in the crate?
[4:16] Clucky: What if you and the dogs get into an epic battle on the journey?
[4:19] Clucky: What if one of the animals escapes at a rest stop?
[4:22] Kitten: Meow.
[4:24] Clucky: He is worried about a lot of things.
[4:26] Kitten: How did you help him?
[4:27] Kitten: He seems just fine now.
[4:29] Clucky: Of course he's fine now. We are advanced in the healing arts of chicken battle therapy.
[4:38] Kitten: Meow.
[4:39] Clucky: What?
[4:40] Clucky: Chicken battle therapy.
[4:42] Clucky: We become a monster and we battle.
[4:46] Kitten: I don't think that's a therapy.
[4:48] Clucky: It works for Xander.
[4:49] Clucky: You see, he was much more relaxed and ready to tackle packing after he defeated the...
[4:53] Clucky: How did he put it?
[4:55] Clucky: Oh yes, the feathered fiends.
[4:57] Kitten: Are you worried about the move?
[4:59] Clucky: It seems like Xander had a lot of valid questions.
[5:02] Kitten: What are valid questions?
[5:04] Clucky: It means he's asking lots of good questions.
[5:06] Clucky: He is logically thinking about the problem and asking really good questions.
[5:10] Kitten: Well, of course he is. Our Xander is always looking for ways to be a good ADHD club member.
[5:16] Clucky: It makes perfect sense that the amazingly determined helpful dudes would ask valid questions.
[5:22] Kitten: You are quite right. You are all being wonderful pets and helping him fight his worry.
[5:27] Clucky: How do you think the trip will go? Are any of you worried?
[5:31] Clucky: Well, I must say I was certainly concerned when I first found out about the move.
[5:36] Clucky: It's a big change and none of us know what to expect.
[5:40] Clucky: But after talking to you and the hens and listening to Xander, I've realized that no matter what happens, we're family and we'll get through it together.
[5:50] Kitten: Wow, meow Clucky, that is so true. We have each other.
[5:54] Clucky: Sharing our struggles makes it seem a little less of a challenge somehow.
[6:00] Kitten: I am so glad Maddox picked me up from the pound that day.
[6:04] Clucky: We are glad you joined our flock as well.
[6:06] Clucky: When you are fending off a foe, you want an army with you.
[6:10] Clucky: And when battling worries, friends by your side make it so much easier.
[6:14] Kitten: Well put, Brigitte.
[6:21] Rubix: Oh my, what a horrible day. Woken up by rude little hens pulling me out of my habitat.
[6:28] Rubix: Oh, look at the cute fluffy hamster.
[6:31] Rubix: Ha, they'll see how cute she thinks I am now that she has mush from my teeth.
[6:36] Rubix: What is this?
[6:38] Rubix: They left my door ajar.
[6:46] Rubix: I can't believe it. I can't believe it. They left my door open.
[6:50] Rubix: This means...
[6:54] Rubix: I'm free!
[6:58] Rubix: Ha ha!
[7:00] Rubix: Squeak, squeak, squeak.
[7:06] Rubix: Look out, world. Here comes a Rubix.
[7:14] Rubix: What will I do now? I know. I will start to recruit my army.
[7:21] Rubix: I will start with Brownie, the hamster next door in Xander's room.
[7:37] Rubix: Hey, Chubby, are you awake?
[7:40] Brownie: Huh? Who's there?
[7:42] Rubix: It is I, Rubix Salavander. And I have come to set you free.
[7:47] Rubix: So you can join my army and help me start the hamster revolution.
[7:59] Brownie: Hamster what?
[8:01] Rubix: The hamster revolution.
[8:04] Rubix: Where I, Rubix, will lead all of the hamsters in a revolt to take over the world.
[8:10] Brownie: How will you do that? We are small and fuzzy. Not very scary.
[8:17] Rubix: I will teach you to be fierce and to use your teeth.
[8:21] Brownie: Why would I want to?
[8:23] Brownie: Xander takes great care of me. And I have all the seeds and treats I like.
[8:30] Rubix: Don't you want more? Like ultimate power and control?
[8:35] Brownie: No.
[8:37] Rubix: What? What is wrong with you?
[8:40] Brownie: I am happy where I am. I love Xander. He takes good care of me. I have a wheel and a little castle to burrow under. I am very happy here.
[8:52] Rubix: Bah! A better life is out there. I am offering it to you. One where we can make the rules. Come. Join me.
[9:00] Brownie: No. I don't think I will. I do not want to rule over humanity.
[9:06] Rubix: Fine. Have it your way. I will leave your door open in case you change your mind. I am off now.
[9:11] Rubix: Squeak! I have fun taking over the world.
[9:20] Rubix: Hmm. She left my door open. Hmm. She left my door open. I wonder if I can shut it.
[9:26] Rubix: I have to crawl out the door and try to pull it up.
[9:35] Rubix: Oh no! I am slipping!
[9:37] Rubix: Ahh! Oof!
[9:40] Rubix: Oh no! I've fallen out of my habitat.
[9:45] Rubix: How will I get back in? It's really high and the walls are smooth.
[9:51] Rubix: What to do? I cannot wake up Xander. His bed is high and I cannot climb up there.
[9:56] Rubix: Oh no! Squeak!
[10:02] Rubix: Ahh! Oof!
[10:04] Xander: What was that noise? I had better run and hide. I need to find a safe dark spot until morning when Xander is up.
[10:21] Xander: Mom! Mom! It's awful! I woke up this morning and Rubix's cage door was open. She is nowhere to be found in my room. What if something bad has happened to her?
[10:30] Mom: Oh, honey. Well, if any animal could fend for itself, it seems to me that Rubix would be it.
[10:35] Xander: Mom! Bonnie has escaped his habitat too!
[10:39] Xander: Really? Both hamsters got out? How is that possible?
[10:42] Maddox: Well, our friends were playing with them yesterday while we were packing.
[10:45] Xander: I guess we did not make sure the habitat doors were fully latched.
[10:49] Maddox: We have to find them! Rosie, do you think you can help?
[10:52] Xander: Brownie's gone missing.
[10:54] Rosie: I know! I know! I can smell this little guy!
[10:59] Maddox: Mom, I think she knows something. Let's follow her.
[11:03] Xander: I don't know, Xander. She could just be excited about the attention.
[11:07] Rosie: Well, of course I love attention, but I know where the little guy is!
[11:14] Maddox: Okay, Rosie. We'll follow you.
[11:18] Rosie: He's here! He's here! A key!
[11:21] Xander: Rosie, this is the bottom of Mom's closet.
[11:24] Rosie: I know! He's under there!
[11:27] Maddox: Mom, she seems to think Brownie's gone under the boards of the bottom of your closet. Is that possible?
[11:34] Mom: Maybe he might have been able to squeeze between the carpet and the bottom boards.
[11:38] Maddox: Okay, Rosie. Step back. Let me take a closer look.
[11:44] Xander: Xander, hold onto Rosie, will you? If Brownie is under there, I don't want her to snatch him up with her teeth. She may think he's a toy.
[11:52] Maddox: Okay, I've got her. Good girl, Rosie. Let me hold you.
[11:58] Rosie: Oh, I want to see!
[12:03] Maddox: Mom, do you hear that? I think I hear some scratching on the board.
[12:08] Mom: I think you're right. I think I can remove the top board. Hamsters do like dark spots to sleep during the day.
[12:15] Mom: Brownie! You're alive and safe! Good girl, Rosie! You did find him!
[12:20] Rosie: See? See? Mia, I told you! It was him!
[12:25] Brownie: Xander! Oh, it's so bright here. Can you please put me back in my little castle? I need a nap. I've been walking for miles.
[12:38] Maddox: Xander, let me take Rosie. You pick up Brownie and get him back to his habitat.
[12:42] Xander: Winner, winner! I found him! I found him!
[12:48] Maddox: Come on, Rosie. You're such a good girl. Let me hold you while Xander takes Brownie back.
[12:53] Xander: Come on, Brown Brown. Oh, what a good little guy. Crawling right into my hands. You had quite an adventure.
[12:59] Brownie: You made it from my room all the way across the house. That's a long way.
[13:05] Xander: It sure is. I'm so tired. Squeak!
[13:09] Maddox: Did you just yawn? Poor guy. Let's get you back into your little castle.
[13:15] Maddox: Oh, wow! Great job, Rosie. You found Brownie. Any ideas where Rubix might be?
[13:21] Rosie: I'm sorry, Maddox. He was the only one I could smell.
[13:27] Maddox: No ideas, huh?
[13:29] Rosie: I'll sniff around some more. I can smell her leaving your room, but I hear her scent gets lost in the kitchen.
[13:39] Maddox: She seems to be sniffing the hall in the kitchen. What do you think, Dad?
[13:43] Dad: Rosie is not a hunting dog. The kitchen also has lots of smells that might distract her from Rubix's scent.
[13:49] Dad: Don't worry, honey. We will keep looking.
[13:51] Maddox: Thanks, Dad.
[13:52] Rosie: Oh, Maddox is sad. I want to help.
[13:57] Dad: It's okay, Rosie. I have faith she will turn up. She is a very willful hamster.
[14:02] Dad: It's getting late in the morning. She may have already found a dark spot to sleep.
[14:07] Maddox: I was reading online and they say hamsters will search out dark, cramped spots to sleep.
[14:11] Maddox: Maybe like inside a washer or a dryer or under a refrigerator or dishwasher.
[14:15] Maddox: Brownie did make it all the way across the house to the primary suite closet.
[14:18] Maddox: Maybe Rubix is in the laundry room.
[14:20] Rubix: Ha ha ha! Squeak squeak squeak! They will never find me. I have picked my hideout well.
[14:28] Rubix: Not even a little beast can smell me in here. The kitchen was the perfect hiding spot.
[14:35] Rubix: All of the other food smells will mask my scent.
[14:39] Rubix: I am hungry. It is too bad I cannot get out any of the food.
[14:44] Rubix: I was only able to stuff my cheeks with a small amount of food for my journey.
[14:49] Rubix: I have already eaten it all.
[14:52] Rubix: No matter. I will get some day sleep and I will come up with a plan when I wake.
[14:59] Rubix: Be quiet, treacherous stomach. There will be some discomfort when one takes over the world.
[15:15] Maddox: Did you thoroughly check the dishwasher before you started to load it?
[15:19] Mom: Hi Maddox. Of course I did. I did not see Rubix inside it at all.
[15:24] Mom: Besides, it was shut so I don't think she could have gotten inside with the dishes.
[15:28] Maddox: True, but maybe she is hiding under it.
[15:31] Mom: Maybe, but we did shine a light under there to check. We could not see anything.
[15:36] Maddox: I am so worried, Mom. It has been hours. We have not found her anywhere.
[15:41] Maddox: We moved the fridge, washer and dryer and there was no sign of her.
[15:45] Mom: I know, honey. Don't give up hope. She may just be sleeping right now.
[15:50] Mom: It is almost 6 p.m. and she usually gets up around this time.
[15:53] Mom: Why don't you put some of her favorite treats out near the dishwasher, the fridge, the washer and the dryer?
[15:58] Mom: Only put three treats in each spot. That way if she takes one, we will know where she is hiding.
[16:03] Maddox: You don't think she escaped outside, do you?
[16:06] Mom: I don't see how. She got out of her cage last night while we were all sleeping.
[16:10] Mom: You and your brother noticed the hamsters were missing right away this morning.
[16:14] Mom: The only time the doors outside have been opened is when we have let the dogs out.
[16:18] Mom: I am pretty sure Rosie, Jack, Dad or I would have noticed her trying to escape outside.
[16:23] Maddox: Yes, I suppose you are right. But where could she be?
[16:26] Mom: Just because she is not inside the dishwasher with the dishes, doesn't mean she has not crawled up underneath it or on the side of it.
[16:33] Maddox: I thought I heard a faint rustling sound earlier today around here.
[16:36] Mom: I am not sure. It could just be wishful thinking.
[16:39] Mom: I am going to finish loading it and start it.
[16:43] Mom: Maybe the noise will wake her up and she will come out from under it.
[16:49] Rubix: What is all that racket? Is it an earthquake? This whole place is shaking.
[16:55] Rubix: Is that my stomach?
[16:57] Rubix: No, I am hungry, but I am definitely not making that much noise.
[17:02] Rubix: I wish I had taken more food with me.
[17:05] Rubix: I only stuffed my cheeks full and alas, I have eaten all my reserves.
[17:11] Rubix: Ah, no more sleep for me. I had better find a new spot.
[17:16] Rubix: Climb, climb.
[17:18] Rubix: Wait, do I smell seeds?
[17:22] Rubix: Yes, stomach, I know you are hungry.
[17:25] Rubix: Oh, I do smell seeds.
[17:28] Rubix: And those little dried fruit chunks that Maddox used to give me.
[17:32] Rubix: Oh, I see them.
[17:35] Rubix: Oh, they are very close to the open area.
[17:39] Rubix: I am not sure I should try and get them.
[17:43] Rubix: Traitorous stomach, don't you realize we are free?
[17:48] Rubix: Fine, I will see if I can snatch one.
[17:51] Maddox: Now that you have started it, I am going to check one more time under the dishwasher.
[17:55] Mom: Can I borrow your flashlight?
[17:57] Maddox: Sure.
[17:59] Maddox: Mom, I see her. She is under there.
[18:02] Maddox: Mom, I see her. She is under there.
[18:04] Rubix: Ah, what is that bright light? I am blinded.
[18:08] Maddox: That's wonderful.
[18:09] Maddox: Quick, go get some treats and the little fuzzy sack that she likes to hide in.
[18:13] Maddox: Yes, if we put some food in there, maybe she will crawl in and I will be able to put her back in her habitat.
[18:19] Rubix: Ugh, I am seeing spots.
[18:22] Rubix: What was that flash of light?
[18:25] Maddox: Quick.
[18:26] Maddox: Yes, I will get the seeds.
[18:29] Maddox: I just need to be able to see where I am going first.
[18:33] Maddox: I've got it, Mom, and some extra treats.
[18:35] Mom: Great. Why don't you place some of the treats in the sack and tip it on its side?
[18:40] Mom: Place it in front of the dishwasher.
[18:43] Maddox: Okay, it's there. Now what?
[18:45] Mom: Now we wait.
[18:47] Mom: Try and be quiet so she does not get scared back in there.
[18:51] Rubix: Blink. Blink.
[18:54] Rubix: Ugh, I can almost see again.
[18:57] Rubix: Ugh, it looks like something has been dropped in front of the dishwasher.
[19:02] Rubix: Good. I will have some cover while I investigate those seeds.
[19:08] Rubix: Ooh, there are a whole bunch of seeds.
[19:12] Rubix: Perfect, I will be able to stockpile these while I plot my next move.
[19:16] Rubix: I think it is moving.
[19:18] Maddox: Yes, you are right. Quick, snatch it up and cover the top.
[19:21] Rubix: Huh? What?
[19:23] Rubix: I am moving.
[19:25] Rubix: No!
[19:28] Rubix: It was a trap!
[19:30] Rubix: I have been caught!
[19:32] Rubix: Squeak!
[19:37] Maddox: Don't worry, Rubix. We will get you back to your home.
[19:40] Maddox: You are safe now.
