[1:48] Kitten: Meow, and Clucky are two best friends. Trying to make sense of the world around them. Come along and explore with them.

[2:08] Kitten: Meow, and Clucky are two best friends. Trying to make sense of the world around them. Come along and explore with them.

[2:28] Clucky: Kitten, you really ought to give it a try. It makes it feel like a whole new chicken.

[2:36] Meow: No, thank you. I do not like the water, and I have no desire to feel like a new chicken.

[2:42] Clucky: You know what I mean.

[2:44] Meow: I do, but I will pass.

[2:46] Clucky: You are missing out, Kitten.

[2:48] Meow: I'm okay with that.

[3:10] Maddox: Look, Bella just jumped into the water bowl.

[3:13] Clucky: She did. It's almost like they are using it as a bird bath. They are going to hate getting back into the truck for the night. Too bad this little town did not have any houses to rent. It would have been nice for them to sleep under the stars in a safe little yard.

[3:36] Clucky: Look, they are all taking turns jumping in the water bowl now. Except, of course, Kitten. She wants nothing to do with the water. Look, Clucky just splashed her. He better be careful. You never know. Kitten could get her claws out.

[3:54] Meow: I doubt it. Well, we had better get them settled in the back of the truck. We don't want to have a problem with the motel manager. This is certainly the worst place we have stayed.

[4:04] Clucky: Yeah, what's with the doors being on the outside of the room? It's not even a real hotel.

[4:11] Meow: Luckily, it is only one night. On the plus side, we are at the end, so we have two windows in our room, not just one.

[4:19] Clucky: Yes, with a lovely view of the alley filled with trash cans. Lucky us!

[4:27] Meow: Wow, I'm drowning in sarcasm here.

[4:31] Clucky: Oh, come on, let's round up the pets.

[4:34] Meow: I hope Captain Jack leaves Kitten alone tonight. She has been hiding under the beds almost every place we have stopped.

[4:43] Maddox: Kids, are the pets secure?

[4:46] Meow: I'm back with dinner. Hold on to the dogs and make sure no one gets out.

[4:52] Clucky: I'll go with you on our leash, Mom.

[4:56] Meow: Quiet down, doggies. It's just Mom.

[5:01] Clucky: I'm getting Jack's leash.

[5:05] Meow: I can't hear you.

[5:09] Clucky: I'm getting Jack's leash.

[5:11] Meow: I can't find Kitten, but I'm sure she's under a bed. She scurried under there as soon as the dogs came in.

[5:19] Maddox: Okay, I'm coming in.

[5:21] Clucky: Here, Mannix, grab a bag.

[5:24] Meow: It's okay, doggies.

[5:26] Clucky: Down, Jack. No, no jumping.

[5:29] Meow: There's so much noise.

[5:33] Clucky: I can't take it. I need to get out and get some air.

[5:38] Meow: Run, run. I made it past without anyone seeing me.

[5:44] Clucky: I just need a minute. It's so hot and loud in there.

[5:48] Meow: The air outside is much cooler now.

[5:52] Clucky: Yeah, oh no. What am I going to do? I'm stuck outside.

[5:57] Meow: I was not meaning to get trapped out here. It's dark.

[6:01] Kitten: Meow, meow, meow.

[6:05] Kitten: You can't hear my paws scratching the door.

[6:09] Kitten: Oh, maybe I can get to the window on the side of the room.

[6:13] Kitten: We're staying at the room at the end. I may find something to climb up on by the window.

[6:25] Kitten: Meow, I don't know.

[6:28] Kitten: It looks awfully dark and scary down that alleyway.

[6:32] Kitten: Should I risk it?

[6:40] Kitten: Oh, meow, I don't know.

[6:43] Kitten: Oh, meow, what if they all go to sleep and I get stuck out here?

[6:49] Kitten: Meow.

[6:51] Kitten: No, Mannix wouldn't let that happen.

[6:54] Kitten: She will come looking for me.

[6:57] Kitten: Meow, meow, she doesn't know I'm missing.

[7:00] Kitten: And I have been hiding under a lot of hotel beds just to avoid the noise of Captain Jack.

[7:06] Kitten: He really does not like cats.

[7:09] Kitten: I thought it would have improved with us riding in the same vehicle, but no.

[7:13] Kitten: I had to be moved to the front of the truck because he would not stop barking in my carrier.

[7:19] Kitten: I mean, I tried to be polite and have a conversation, but he just kept growling and barking.

[7:25] Kitten: Grr, bark, I smell an intruder.

[7:28] Kitten: Bark.

[7:29] Kitten: There's an intruder in the car.

[7:32] Kitten: Okay, so Mannix will probably not be looking for me for a while.

[7:38] Kitten: Meow.

[7:41] Kitten: I had better brave this dark, creepy, spooky alley.

[7:46] Kitten: Meow, stop it, kitten.

[7:48] Kitten: Pull yourself together.

[7:50] Kitten: That kind of self-talk is not going to help you do what needs to be done.

[7:54] Kitten: What is Mannix always telling you?

[7:56] Kitten: Words have power.

[7:58] Kitten: What you believe, you can achieve.

[8:01] Kitten: Meow.

[8:02] Kitten: Good talk.

[8:03] Kitten: Now let's move towards that not-so-scary dark alley.

[8:07] Kitten: Meow.

[8:09] Kitten: Hello? Is anyone down there?

[8:12] Kitten: Okay, it looks deserted.

[8:15] Kitten: Oh, I was right.

[8:17] Kitten: There is a window there.

[8:19] Kitten: Oh, how nice.

[8:20] Kitten: There is a pile of boxes and a large trash bin under the window.

[8:24] Kitten: I should be able to climb up and get to the window.

[8:27] Kitten: Hmm.

[8:28] Kitten: I can't tell from here if the trash bin has a lid or not.

[8:32] Kitten: I'll hop on this box to take a closer look.

[8:35] Kitten: Huh?

[8:36] Kitten: Huh?

[8:37] Kitten: Pardon me, mon chéri.

[8:40] Faral: Perhaps you have lost your way?

[8:42] Kitten: Meow.

[8:43] Faral: Ah, meow.

[8:45] Faral: Oh, my dear mademoiselle. Are you damaged?

[8:48] Faral: I did not mean to startle you.

[8:50] Kitten: Meow.

[8:52] Kitten: How did you not mean to startle me?

[8:55] Kitten: You snuck up on me in a dark alley and waited to say something until I jumped on an unsteady box.

[9:01] Kitten: How did you not mean to startle me?

[9:04] Faral: Well, now, when you put it that way, it sounds like I did mean to frighten you, mon petit.

[9:10] Faral: Forgive me. I was enjoying my dinner when I heard you talking about your current dilemma.

[9:16] Faral: I was so caught up in your story, I forgot to introduce myself.

[9:21] Faral: I am Faral.

[9:23] Kitten: Faral?

[9:26] Kitten: Like feral cat?

[9:28] Kitten: Also meaning stray or wild cat?

[9:31] Faral: No. Faral. Like the untamed passions of my heart, living each day answering only to myself and the call of the wild, accepting all who cross my path and living on the bounty of the world around me.

[9:47] Faral: Come, mon chéri. Shake off the shackles of captivity and embrace a life of freedom with Faral.

[9:57] Kitten: Yeah.

[9:58] Kitten: Oh, boy. Um, that's a very nice offer. Not that I'm considering it. But where exactly do you live?

[10:07] Faral: The world is my oyster. Have you tried oysters? They are delicious. I found some once in the sushi restaurant trash. They are incroyable. They also make a most delectable sauce out of them. But I digress.

[10:23] Kitten: Meow.

[10:26] Kitten: I know what digress means. I'm not an uneducated kitten.

[10:30] Faral: Of course not, mon chéri. I could never think such a thing of you. Your eyes, they sparkle with intelligence.

[10:38] Faral: I am but your devoted mignon. And where is it that you live?

[10:44] Faral: Ah, well, I live where my heart leads me. Tonight it led me here to where I found you.

[10:52] Faral: And last night?

[10:54] Faral: Last night I slept under the stars in this trash can on a fluffy pillow that had been tossed away.

[11:01] Kitten: So you sleep in a trash can?

[11:05] Unknown speaker: Oui, only some nights, but never on Tuesday.

[11:08] Unknown speaker: That is the day the big truck comes and takes the trash.

[11:12] Unknown speaker: What do you do on Tuesdays?

[11:15] Unknown speaker: I find some other place to rest my head.

[11:18] Unknown speaker: Sometimes I walk to the park and curl up in the tower.

[11:22] Unknown speaker: Other times I find a carton in an alley on 4th Street.

[11:26] Unknown speaker: They pick up trash on Wednesdays on 4th Street.

[11:29] Unknown speaker: There are always, comment dit-on, options.

[11:34] Unknown speaker: So you're saying you basically live in a trash can most nights.

[11:43] Unknown speaker: Meow!

[11:48] Unknown speaker: Raaawr!

[11:51] Unknown speaker: What's going on here?

[11:54] Unknown speaker: Meow!

[11:59] Unknown speaker: Meow!

[12:02] Unknown speaker: Don't look down your whiskers at me.

[12:05] Unknown speaker: I live a life of the free.

[12:09] Unknown speaker: I roam where I want and take time to flaunt.

[12:13] Unknown speaker: I am Threll.

[12:17] Unknown speaker: Trash can kitty, come explore my city.

[12:20] Unknown speaker: Kitty, it feels more like a small town.

[12:24] Unknown speaker: Trash can kitty, my looking pretty.

[12:28] Unknown speaker: Yeah, thanks for the good fur day.

[12:32] Unknown speaker: Trash can kitty, I find you pretty witty.

[12:36] Unknown speaker: Oh, why thank you, I try.

[12:39] Unknown speaker: Trash can kitty, you know you want to be.

[12:45] Unknown speaker: A trash can kitty with me.

[12:48] Unknown speaker: Meow!

[12:51] Unknown speaker: Oh my, well thank you for the offer, but my family and I are leaving tomorrow.

[12:57] Unknown speaker: Oh, Sacrebleu, this cannot be.

[13:00] Unknown speaker: How will I go on without you?

[13:03] Unknown speaker: My heart shatters to hear you say such things.

[13:06] Unknown speaker: Meow, are you joking?

[13:08] Unknown speaker: We only just met.

[13:10] Unknown speaker: I have not even told you my name.

[13:12] Unknown speaker: Names?

[13:13] Unknown speaker: What's in the name?

[13:15] Unknown speaker: Can you not feel the strong connection between us, mon cher?

[13:18] Unknown speaker: My heart has already changed its rhythm and now only beats for you.

[13:25] Unknown speaker: Kitten, kitten, kitten.

[13:30] Unknown speaker: How did you know my name?

[13:32] Unknown speaker: I told you we were meant to be, your name is written on my heart.

[13:37] Unknown speaker: And I also heard you call yourself that when you were talking to yourself.

[13:42] Unknown speaker: Oh, of course. Yes, my name is Kitten.

[13:47] Unknown speaker: Oh my dear kitten, join paws with me and say you'll stay by my side forever.

[13:53] Unknown speaker: Wow, um, could you take a step back?

[13:56] Unknown speaker: I feel like I need a little space.

[13:58] Unknown speaker: Whatever you desire, mon ami.

[14:01] Unknown speaker: Feral is here to make your dreams come true.

[14:06] Unknown speaker: But I've already had my dreams come true.

[14:09] Unknown speaker: Mon dieu, my powers of wing are better than I imagined.

[14:13] Unknown speaker: We have only just met and I have fulfilled your dreams, but we have only just scratched the surface.

[14:19] Unknown speaker: Uh, meow no.

[14:22] Unknown speaker: Inside that loud hotel room is a wonderful family.

[14:25] Unknown speaker: They took me in and gave me a home.

[14:28] Unknown speaker: I was lost in the woods and then taken to a horrible pound.

[14:32] Unknown speaker: It was so cold and miserable in there.

[14:34] Unknown speaker: The other animals were not very nice.

[14:37] Unknown speaker: And then Maddox came in.

[14:42] Unknown speaker: She found me huddled in my cage.

[14:45] Unknown speaker: She loved me from the moment she saw me.

[14:47] Unknown speaker: I know how she feels.

[14:50] Unknown speaker: I live in her room and she has taught me to read.

[14:54] Unknown speaker: And Clucky, the rooster in the truck over there, he's a little exhausting at times, but he has taught me to embrace this life as an adventure.

[15:03] Unknown speaker: We are on the last bit of a long journey to our new house in Washington.

[15:07] Unknown speaker: According to Xander, we'll arrive tomorrow.

[15:09] Unknown speaker: I must find a way back in.

[15:12] Unknown speaker: Ah, c'est la vie.

[15:14] Unknown speaker: I find the perfect kitten for me, and her heart belongs to someone else.

[15:19] Unknown speaker: No, I will not fail to the pits of despair of my own broken heart.

[15:24] Unknown speaker: I will rise to be your knight in shining armor.

[15:28] Unknown speaker: You need a hero, and Feral is here.

[15:32] Unknown speaker: We'll get you back in that room.

[15:34] Unknown speaker: You will help me? Do you have a plan?

[15:37] Unknown speaker: No, but I have faith.

[15:39] Unknown speaker: When two hearts join together to accomplish the goal, nothing can stand in our way.

[15:45] Unknown speaker: Uh, okay.

[15:47] Unknown speaker: Um, what do you think of us climbing up those boxes to get to the window?

[15:51] Unknown speaker: Maybe we can scratch on the window and they'll see us.

[15:54] Unknown speaker: C'est magnifique. I like this idea.

[15:57] Unknown speaker: Do you want me to help you up, mon petit?

[16:00] Unknown speaker: Yeah, no, I am perfectly capable of climbing myself, as long as you promise not to scare me again.

[16:07] Unknown speaker: You wound me, mon cher.

[16:09] Unknown speaker: It was an accident.

[16:11] Unknown speaker: I was blinded by the beauty that descended from the heaven to my humble alley.

[16:17] Unknown speaker: Uh-huh. Let's go.

[16:20] Unknown speaker: Hop, hop, hop.

[16:23] Unknown speaker: Whew, this edge is a little bit more narrow than I thought.

[16:27] Unknown speaker: Oh, I can see them.

[16:29] Unknown speaker: Meow, meow, meow.

[16:33] Unknown speaker: Hop, hop, hop.

[16:37] Unknown speaker: Oh, there is very little space up here on this ledge.

[16:41] Unknown speaker: We must stay close together.

[16:44] Unknown speaker: Meow.

[16:46] Unknown speaker: Meow, they can't hear us.

[16:49] Unknown speaker: What can we do? No one's looking this way.

[16:52] Unknown speaker: It is very loud in there.

[16:54] Unknown speaker: Are you sure you want to go back in?

[16:56] Unknown speaker: That big fluffy dog does not look very friendly.

[17:00] Unknown speaker: Captain Jack?

[17:02] Unknown speaker: Well, he's not very friendly to cats, but he loves the family very much.

[17:07] Unknown speaker: We are not on great terms, but maybe one day he'll accept me.

[17:13] Unknown speaker: I will accept you now, just as you are.

[17:18] Unknown speaker: You'll never need to change for me.

[17:22] Unknown speaker: Um, I can't change being a cat anyway.

[17:25] Unknown speaker: Captain Jack will just have to learn to accept me.

[17:28] Unknown speaker: Plus, he's old and he sleeps most of the time anyway.

[17:31] Unknown speaker: I see this is important to you.

[17:33] Unknown speaker: We'll get you back in.

[17:35] Unknown speaker: We need to make a loud noise to get their attention.

[17:38] Unknown speaker: How can we do that?

[17:40] Unknown speaker: Oh la la, I have it.

[17:42] Unknown speaker: See that large stack of crates just there?

[17:44] Unknown speaker: I shall hurl myself into it, causing the wooden crates to slam loudly in the metal trash can, creating the noise you need.

[17:49] Unknown speaker: That may work, but what if you get hurt?

[17:56] Unknown speaker: No physical pain can eclipse the breaking of my own heart when you leave.

[18:02] Unknown speaker: Okay then.

[18:04] Unknown speaker: On three.

[18:06] Unknown speaker: Un, deux, trois.

[18:15] Unknown speaker: What was that?

[18:18] Unknown speaker: Mom, look, is that kitten in the window?

[18:21] Unknown speaker: How did she get out there?

[18:23] Unknown speaker: I don't know.

[18:24] Unknown speaker: I will hold the dogs.

[18:25] Unknown speaker: Go get her.

[18:29] Unknown speaker: It worked!

[18:30] Unknown speaker: They saw me!

[18:31] Unknown speaker: Maddox is coming!

[18:33] Unknown speaker: Oh, Pharrell, are you okay?

[18:40] Unknown speaker: My heart soars for you and your happiness.

[18:44] Unknown speaker: My paws will ache for days, but I will recover.

[18:48] Unknown speaker: You are worth it.

[18:51] Unknown speaker: Oh, thank you, Pharrell.

[18:52] Unknown speaker: I won't forget you.

[18:57] Unknown speaker: Kitten!

[18:58] Unknown speaker: There you are!

[19:00] Unknown speaker: Let's get you back inside.

[19:02] Unknown speaker: Oh, poor baby, how did you even get out?

[19:06] Unknown speaker: Meow?

[19:09] Unknown speaker: Hop, hop.

[19:12] Unknown speaker: Oh, mon cher.

[19:14] Unknown speaker: Look at you, so happy, reunited with your family.

[20:48] Unknown speaker: Who's there?

[20:49] Unknown speaker: Figs.

[21:15] Unknown speaker: I have a riddle for you.

[21:18] Unknown speaker: Oh, I love riddles.

[21:21] Unknown speaker: This one is called Hard to See.

[21:24] Unknown speaker: You're in a dark room with a candle, a wood stove, and a gas lamp.

[21:28] Unknown speaker: You only have one match, so what do you light first?

[21:32] Unknown speaker: The world on fire.

[21:34] Unknown speaker: No, you can't do that.

[21:36] Unknown speaker: Oh.

[21:37] Unknown speaker: How am I going to take over the world?

[21:41] Unknown speaker: You're stuck in a dark room.

[21:43] Unknown speaker: I'm stuck in a dark room.

[21:45] Unknown speaker: With only a candle, a wood stove, and a gas lamp.

[21:48] Unknown speaker: And you only have one match, so which one do you light first?

[21:52] Unknown speaker: The candle?

[21:54] Unknown speaker: No.

[21:55] Unknown speaker: I don't know.

[21:57] Unknown speaker: The match.

[21:59] Unknown speaker: Oh, yes, that would make sense. Yes, the match.
