[Music]

auntie shuleen will be here soon

i want her visit to go perfectly but

perfect

why do you worry so

what if her stay is not to her liking

so you all understand right we're gonna

help mung pretend that he lives in the

palace

oh good i love make pretend games

i don't get it why did you tell your

cousin you live in the palace

i don't know she's always saying how

perfect everything in her life is

and i want to show her how perfect mine

is too

come on mung nobody's life is perfect

really try telling that to my cousin

[Music]

well i don't think this solves anything

but i guess we could teach you what we

know about living in the palace

right right

remember everything has to be special

for her

she always made me feel special when i

was a child

oh my little niece

auntie how was your trip would you like

some tea how about something

i'm just

happy to see you

baths

me too do you want to get into the

palace or not

this is gonna be harder than i thought

hello handsome

well what do you think i think i want my

caller back tell me again why he wants

to pretend to be a palace cat

well because he wants his cousin to

think

he's someone he's not do you understand

uh yes

let's go to the palace hold it

palace cats can't run like that

what are you talking about i've seen you

running around

but that's for outside inside

we walk like this

[Applause]

tossed out into the alley

something you didn't show me how to

write yet

thing she definitely

can't do we don't have much time

lines it'll be enough

now watch closely it's kind of hard if

you're not used to it

truth

i thought the palace was kind of boring

tell me about it did you know you can't

even run in there

what do you say we head down to the

wharf i'll show you around

now that sounds perfect see

shigura does everything make sense to

you now

yep except for one thing

why is donghua pretending to be mum

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

i just wanted to say goodbye to you two

before i went fishing

fishing yep today's a dragon boat

festival and bubba's taking me to help

catch fish for our feast

and you're not coming hmm

the smell of the sea the sound of the

birds

that one great moment when you sweep

your paw in the water and

wha you catch a fish

sagua you can't go fishing today

only bubba and i are going you and

shigura aren't invited

donggua that's not true

your sisters are welcome to come they

just have other things to do

to prepare for the festival but i'd

rather go fishing

please bubba take me too next time my

sagua

you might want to complete your work

instead of playing with your sister

without your finished scroll there can

be no dragon boat race

i asked you to write the rules yesterday

remember

i remember but he gets all the fun

he finished writing his scrolls

and i'm bubba's favorite

bubba's favorite

it's gonna be great dragons everywhere

not real dragons fufu dragon boats

oh then it's gonna be great dragon boats

everywhere

so uh what's taking so long anyway

you're usually a wizard writing things

do you think bubba likes dongwa better

better than what bites i no

opera no those yummy sweet buns filled

with bean paste

i'm afraid that baba likes dongwa better

than me

no way but if it bothers you go talk to

him

don't drive yourself daddy well good

luck

all this talking's made me hungry giggin

my friend

and we will all wear the ceremonial

fragrance pouches for the festival

we filled them with perfume and spices

my dear bottle

i'd really rather not but bubba we

worked so hard to make them for you

[Music]

please

[Music]

what if bubba does like donghua more

oh fufu's right i just have to go ask

him

then i'll come right back and finish my

[Music]

work

waiting to catch fish isn't nearly as

much fun as it is catching fish

is it bubba oh i don't know

it all depends if you can find a way to

enjoy

the waiting whoa

i am sorry my son i i

you're all wet

i guess it is funny

[Music]

having fun without me that is not fair

you know son i'm really glad i get to

spend this time with you

just the two of us just the two of them

it's true donghua is his favorite

you want to be with them anyway they're

wet

and dirty and haven't even caught any

fish

they'll never catch anything that way

nope

silly cats all of you

silly cats i'm not silly

[Laughter]

catch fish

to do

and really should get back

it's your decision kid but you're

missing out on some big time fun

fun huh let's go

[Music]

cook has outdone himself

[Music]

these strong sir are even better than

last year

they do look and smell

delicious the ceremony is complete we

dotted all the dragon's eyes

good we have awakened the dragons

there is only one thing left to do start

the race

not without the annual rules

i was thinking we should get more of

these

[Music]

watch how we do it now this is real

fishing

[Music]

wow

pretty impressive huh impressive

very um why do you have those ropes on

your neck

without them all the fish we catch would

end up in our stomachs

[Music]

the scroll it's not here

i am sorry your magistrate i looked

everywhere for the scroll of rules

we must all wait here until that scroll

is found

[Music]

the dragon boat racers look so eager to

begin

i'm sorry buddho no rules no race

hmm no rules

[Music]

no race

no rules no race

no rules no race no rules

no race no rules no race

[Music]

what is that noise

the dragon boat drums boom

boom boom no rules

no race no rules no race

no rules no race this

is an interesting way to pass the time

while we wait

wouldn't you agree huh

yes your magistrate oh no

i've got to get back the rules they

aren't done

relax you'll be back late tonight

tonight why didn't you tell me that

before i came with you

yeah you didn't ask

i see one help me catch it

[Music]

i'm really starting to think we won't be

bringing back any fish today

who cares

see ya kid sorry you couldn't stay drop

by any time you want to come

fishing with the experts

excuse me do you have any advice for

someone who made a big mistake

i didn't think so

getting the drummers to play was a

brilliant diversion your magistrate

you know me i am always thinking about

my villagers happiness

and food

oh i am in so much trouble

yes agua you are i just don't understand

you had a job and because you didn't do

it

i know no dragon boat race

not until tomorrow anyway the magistrate

postponed it

i'm writing the rules now for you

i'm sorry i know i made a huge mistake

i mean it didn't start huge it just sort

of

grew that way

[Music]

grew that way i guess donggua really is

your favorite

especially now favorite where did this

come from donggua said it and then i saw

how much fun you two were having

i heard you say how special it was it

was special

time alone with each of you is special

that doesn't mean i

love anyone more or less but you took

him

fishing not me yes

because he was the only one who had

finished his work

you knew that yeah

i guess after i saw how much fun you

were having i wished it was

me splashing in the water with you sagua

you know i love you yes

[Music]

and that nothing in the world can get in

the way of the fullness in my heart

for you for shigura for dongwa
