Zou and the piano
(music playing)
(grunting with effort)
(chirping)
- Great idea to organise a practice for our choreography, Zou.
- Yes! Let's dance, Elzee!
- Zou, Elzee? Are you ready to come and help set up the disco for tonight?
- Oh, yeah!
- I can't wait!
- Oh!
Steady on, you two!
- Oh, sorry, Nanna. We're in a bit of a hurry.
- I can see that!
Off to help your dad with the disco?
- Yes! It's going to be brilliant!
It sounds as if there's a disco going on in your bedroom already, Zou.
- Oh! Sorry. I forgot to switch my music off.
(music playing)
(Grandma): Nice tune.
I must learn to play that on my piano.
(Dad chuckles)
- Not the sort of music you usually play, Nanna.
- Goodbye, everyone.
Enjoy the disco!
- Thanks Nanna!
(Elzee, laughing): We will!
(blowing loudly)
(chirping)
- Oh?
Poc! I don't think that's a very good i...
(expl*si*n)
- Hmm...
(chirping)
Perhaps you should stick to paper chains, Poc!
- Poor Poc.
- Okay. How about we check out the sound system?
- Good idea.
A disco isn't a disco without some music.
- Right. Let's see...
- I think this is the right button...
(music playing)
- Yep, that's the one!
- Hey! Great! Let's practice!
- Oh! It's started!
It's started! The disco's started!
- No, Zinnia!
It doesn't start till... Whoo!
- Zavier!
- Sorry, dear...
- Whoo!
I want to dance too!
Look at me!
I'm dancing!
(loud bang) Huh! What?
- Poc! Leave the balloons alone!
(chirping)
- It wasn't Poc, Zou.
- But... What's happened to the music?
- Er... I... I'm not sure...
- Let me take a look.
I'm usually rather good with this sort of thing.
- Oh! No, you're not.
Remember when you tried to mend the fridge freezer?
- Ah, yes.
Just as I thought.
I'll soon have this f...
(loud feedback)
Stop, stop, stop!
(bang!)
- Ooh!
(Zavier): Oh!
- Ooh, technical genius.
(forced laugh)
- Maybe it wasn't the... er... thingummy.
- No. But whatever it was, I'm afraid we'll have to cancel the disco.
- Oh, no!
- What?
- It's completely broken.
It's gonna take more than a little fiddling to fix it.
- No disco?
- No music; no disco I'm afraid.
(all whimpering)
(Poc chirping)
- Hang on!
Nanna's piano!
- Nanna's piano? What about it?
- We could bring it here!
Then we'll have some music!
- But Zou: It's on the top floor of the house
and it's very heavy and...
- Please!
Dad...?
(all): Hmm?
- Alright. But we'll have to ask her first...
- Yes!
- Daddy'll help, won't you, Daddy!
- Er... Hmm?
(soft piano music)
(knocking on door)
- Come in.
Hello, Zou.
- Nanna?
Can I please borrow your piano?
- Of course you can, Zou. What would you like to play?
- No; I mean can I borrow it?
- Hmm?
The music's broken at the disco
and if we haven't got any music we can't dance, so I thought...
can I take your piano to the gym?
- Hmm?
- Please?
(Nanna chuckles)
- I don't think you could lift it, Zou.
- Um, I've got some helpers...
- Oh! Er...
Well, in that case...
Go ahead!
- Thanks, Nanna!
- Zou?
- Huh?
Did you forget something?
(men grunting)
(scraping sounds)
(whistling)
- Down... down there?
- Only a couple of flights of stairs, Zavier.
Let's go!
(grunting, crashing)
- Oh?
(from afar): My nose!
- Hmm?
- They've got it down the first lot of stairs!
- Oh, dear!
(all groaning)
- What on Earth is going on?
Hi, Grandma. We're moving Nanna's piano.
- Well... What for?
(grunting)
- Good question.
- To me!
- Stand clear, Zou.
We don't want any accidents.
- Watch out!
- Here comes the piano!
- Too late!
- How's the piano shifting coming along, Bizou?
(crashing)
- Er... Quite quickly, Mum!
(chuckling)
(panting)
- Don't forget to thank...
- Ouch!
- Zavier! Honestly!
Look at the state of you!
- Don't worry, Aunt Zelda.
He can smarten himself up again
as soon as we get the piano to the gym.
- It's going to take forever to push it all the way there...
- Uh... I know!
We could tow it!
- Push it, pull it; it's all the same, Zou.
It's going to be too much.
- No; I mean tow it behind Uncle Zavier's car!
- What?
- Oh yes! Daddy's car!
Zou, you are clever! Isn't he, Daddy?!?
- I'll fetch a rope!
(panting)
- Hurray for Daddy!
(Zou): Yay!
- Yay!
(chirping)
- We did it!
- Hurray! The disco's started!
The disco's started.
(chirping)
(laughing)
- Except...
we forgot one thing.
- What do you mean, Elzee?
- Who's going to play the piano?
(all): Mm...
- You mean...
we got the wretched piano all the way here...
(laughs nervously)
...and no one can play it?!
- Oh...
(Nanna): Oh...
- I can.
- Nanna?
- Come on, Nanna!
- Oh!
- She won't exactly get the joint jumping.
- I don't think Chopin is quite the thing for a disco...
- Ha ha ha!
No.
(play jazz music)
(exclaiming happily)
- Yeah!
- Yeah, Nanna!
(exclaiming happily)
- Well I never! Who'd have thought it?
- Shall we?
(chirping)
- Go Nanna go!
- Uh, Zou?
- Oh, uh... Hey, Dad!
Thanks for helping!
And thank you as well, Grandpa!
Thanks, Zowie!
- You're welcome!
- You too, uncle Zavier!
We couldn't have done it without your car!
(laughing)
And Nanna? Thank you most of all!
This is the best disco ever!
(Nanna laughs)
