[THEME MUSIC]
THEME SONG: Pete, the cat, he's one groovy dude.
He'll put you in a happy mood.
He's got a funky style and a cool attitude.
Pete, the cat.
Yeah, he is bad.
He knows where it's at.
Pete, the cat.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, howdy, cats and kittens.
Good to see you again.
Come on, our old pal, Pete the cat and his family
are getting ready for Valentine's Day.
Boys, look what I've made for mom for Valentine's Day.
Instead of a bouquet of flowers, I've made a bouquet
of vegetables from the garden.
DAD: Instead of red roses, I have red peppers.
Instead of a pink carnation, a purple cabbage.
That's pretty cool, dad.
Cool as a cucumber your old dad is.
But I want to surprise her, where
can I hide this until tomorrow?
Boys, I need your help.
I want to surprise your dad for Valentine's--
wait, did you get me a bouquet of garden vegetables too?
We got each other the same Valentine.
Oh, I love you.
How funny, I love you too.
And clearly, you both love the same things.
MOM AND DAD: Oh, we have so much in common.
Hey, I love how you've decorated
that box of chocolates, Bob.
Is that for Lucy from your surf club?
Yeah, it is.
She loves Peanut Butter Paws, and I love her.
Oh, that's perfect.
What are you going to make for your friends, Pete?
[GUITAR PLAYING]
Oh, that's a great idea, my boy.
Give them what you give best, a musical Valentine.
Very original.
NARRATOR: You see, Pete loved that his parents
like the same things like their garden.
So he created a musical Valentine
about the things he liked that his friends also liked.
[PETE SINGING] I like that you like the things I like.
You like that I like the things you like.
We like that we like the things we like.
Grumpy and I like to roll around town.
Sally and I laugh 'til we fall down.
Emma and I, we could talk about art.
Callie and I sing with all of hearts.
I like that you like the things I like.
You like that I like the things you like.
We like that we like the things we like.
Gustavo and I can ride a star to the moon.
Dennis and I dig a slower tune.
Wilson lets me know the where, why, and who.
Boo Burrow, and I boop boop boop boop boop boop boo.
NARRATOR: Pete realized he didn't know all that much
about his new classmate, Boo Burrow,
but Pete was worried he wouldn't be able to finish.
He didn't know what to sing about his new classmate, Boo.
So Pete decided to ask his friends,
they might know something he could sing about.
And lucky for Pete, it was--
DAD: Time for school, Pete.
[SINGING] I'll be yours if you'll be mine.
Won't you be my valentine?
Hope my feelings are conveyed in this little card.
I didn't buy this off the shelf.
It's something that I made myself.
Paper hearts and sparkling glue, a way of saying I like you.
I'll be yours if you'll be mine.
So won't you be my Valentine?
I love all these creative Valentine mailboxes, children.
Well done.
What are you making, Callie?
I've made an organizationally efficient Valentine's mailbox.
This way, I can always find my Valentines according
to size, card shape, and color.
Very smart and heartfelt.
Madam Burrow, I have made a mail sphere,
because an artist must always think outside the Valentine's
mailbox.
Ah, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
I've made mine look like the space cat star ship, Galaxia.
Fantastic.
And Grumpy, have you started decorating yet?
I'm going for a minimalist look.
I'm a simple toad.
Oh, Oh.
Look at mine next, look at mine next.
Oooh.
Sally, this is lovely, but so small for you.
Oh, no.
This is just the model I based my real mailbox on.
I love Valentine's Day, so I made my box big enough not
only to be covered in all the decoration,
but also to hold all the Valentines I'm going to get.
I want all the Valentines, baby.
All the Valentines, all the time.
Yeah.
That looks like it was a lot of work.
That was nothing.
Wait until you see the Valentines I'm giving out.
Oh, how nice.
You made socks for everyone?
Socks?
No.
These are heart shaped acorn yarn foot cozies, which
should bring a smile to everyone's face
and a hug to everyone's feet.
Lovely.
And that box has more than enough room
for your Valentines.
I hope so.
That's what this holiday is all about,
getting mounds of cards, baby.
[LAUGHS]
I think it's more about letting
your friends know all the things you like about them, isn't it?
Yes, uh, sure, it is that and getting all the Valentines
where all your friends tell you all the things
they like about you.
And what have you made, Pete?
[GUITAR PLAYING]
That's very sharp, a musical mailbox for a musical cat.
NARRATOR: But Pete wasn't feeling so musical,
so while they were all getting ready for Valentine's Day,
Pete told his friends his problem about Boo.
I see the problem.
I mean, how can you write something personal if you not
know all the personal things?
Of course.
I have a collection of possible greetings
for just such an occasion.
Here we go.
Have a pleasant Valentine's day, insert friend's name here.
I hope Valentine's Day is to your liking,
insert friend's name here.
You know, now that I hear them out loud,
they don't sound very friendly.
I think you must do something very artistic
to confuse and delight.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] It is so esoteric and obstructus
that it befuddles the mind.
It works, no?
Oh.
I know.
If you don't know anything personal,
just make something up.
Like, "Dear Boo.
You and I both love going to restaurants
where they only serve flies.
Fondly, your fly eating pal who loves flies as much as you do."
ah? ah?
NARRATOR: That seems like something Grumpy would like.
Truth is, Pete didn't feel right about making something up.
What did Boo say when you asked her what she likes?
You have spoken to her?
NARRATOR: Well, now Pete had a plan.
The answer was easy, if you want to know what someone likes,
all you have to do is get to know them better.
Pete thought of a lot of things that he and Boo could
both like, so he asked her about TV show she might watch
and who knows, maybe she likes surfing just as much as Pete.
He even asked her about music, but he sure didn't get
the answers he was hoping for.
I don't watch a lot of science fiction shows,
but I love science shows.
Do you watch Professor Susie Salamander's
Super Science Show?
Now, as for surfing, I never tried.
I only went to the beach once, and found out
I don't really like getting my fur wet.
I'm more of a forest prairie dog.
Do you know there are over 100 different kinds
of trees in cat city?
I collected bark from every kind,
I have a huge collection at home.
But look, I just got this birch bark recently.
And as far as music, I don't listen to much Cat
Go and the Nine Lives.
I listen to more experimental stuff like the Fun Bats.
Or do you like Wah Wah Weasel?
Here, listen.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
NARRATOR: Pete thought Wah Wah Weasel was intriguing,
but it was more like something Emma would listen to.
Anyway, nice talking to you, Pete.
NARRATOR: Pete was confounded.
Boo was so nice, and Pete really likes her.
But how can he finish a Valentine song
about how they like the same stuff when
they don't like the same stuff?
What's a blue cat to do?
[CROWING]
Yeah, Pete didn't get much sleep that night,
but he just knew he would come up with something.
Well, he hoped he would.
[SINGING] I'll be your if you'll be mine.
Won't you be my Valentine?
Hope my feelings are conveyed in this little card I made.
Won't you be my Valentine?
A pair for you, and a pair for me.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] This is red as the Valentine and yet,
unexpected.
I have carved them all to look like my friends.
Voila.
NARRATOR: While everyone was handing out Valentines,
our pal, Pete was still trying to come
up with a verse for Boo.
But if he can't include everyone,
well, that just doesn't feel right.
Pete's that kind of cat.
Hey, Pete.
Are you to sing your Valentine's song?
Yeah.
I'd love to hear it or you know, whenever.
All right, kids, recess.
You can look at your Valentines after.
NARRATOR: Well, now, Pete was saved by the recess bell,
but he still had to think of a Boo lyric,
so he could play his song for everyone.
But Sally wasn't thinking about swings or playing tag.
Mrs. Barrett said we could look at our Valentines
after recess, but I want to see my Valentines now.
Not before and not after, now, baby.
All in one big Valentine's bust.
NARRATOR: But there was one little thing that Sally
didn't see, but Boo did.
Oh, no.
Sally, Sally.
Oh.
Right.
She can't hear me.
Oops.
I'll take my time.
One card at a time, and--
who am I kidding?
Let's do this.
Wait a minute.
I'm imagining things.
But what?
How?
Who?
Why?
When did I become unpopular?
Never is when.
I am all the populars, but not one Valentine for me?
Less than one.
And what's less than one?
My least favorite number ever, zero,
zip, zilch, nada, nothing.
[SINGING] No, no, no.
No cards for me on Valentine's Day.
No, no, no.
No cards for me on Valentine's Day.
Did you even get one?
I got exactly none.
Did you even get two?
The answer is no.
Did you even get three?
No, obviously.
Did you even get four?
If I didn't get three, how can I get more?
So no.
No, no, no.
No cards for me on Valentine's day.
No, no, no.
No cards for me on Valentine's Day.
You wanted cards galore, and then you wanted some more.
Instead, you got squat.
Are they your friends or not?
My friends would have to see how much cards mean to me.
But I will destroy my end after I speak to my friends,
then I'll know.
What you playing, Pete?
Pete?
Oh, he's still trying to come up with something for Boo,
so he can sing his Valentine's song after recess.
Oh, wait.
I know what they actually have in common.
They both have heads.
Everyone has having a head in common, Grumpy.
Yeah, I guess that's true.
Oh, hey, Sally.
No, no, no, no.
It is not time for salutations.
It is time for me to dramatically show
that my lovingly created Valentine's
mailbox is completely empty.
What has happened to all your Valentines?
I didn't get any, and after I made a heart shaped acorn yarn
foot cozies that are functional and delicious for everyone,
including me.
But I gave you a card, that Billingsley
from Space Cat 36/11 wished you a cosmic Valentine.
Me too, but with Pad Lily Well wishing
you a moonstruck Valentine.
And I gave you one too, Cat Go, Cat Go For It.
And of course, I've carved a radish for you.
But how can that be?
My Valentine's mailbox is empty.
This is a mystery, and when there is a mystery,
Catalina Case Solver always says, "Look at the facts."
What do you see?
Nothing, except this.
The box.
She is broken.
So all my Valentines fell out.
I guess I overreacted, huh?
Wow, sorry.
I should have known my friends would give me
Valentines on Valentine's Day.
That is why we are called friends.
But I still don't have any valentines to roll around in.
Oh, the day, she is not over.
Neither is the mystery.
And it won't be until we find those missing Valentine's.
Come on.
I was sitting right here.
Then the Valentine's should be around here somewhere.
We will spread out and find them.
NARRATOR: The kids looked high and low,
but they didn't have much luck.
Oh, I found one.
No.
This is not my radish.
What is it then?
Just a radish.
I'm sorry, Sally.
We haven't been able to find a single Valentine.
It's OK.
Only great friends like you guys would help look.
Thanks, guys.
Group hug.
I guess I could go without Valentines for one year.
Not so fast.
Boo Burrow.
Yeah, it's me.
Are those Sally's Valentines?
Yeah, most of them.
Fantastic.
Where did you find them?
The breeze blew them way over there against that fence.
And I even found this weird radish that looks like you.
My Valentines.
And you worked so hard to get them all.
I didn't mind.
It was kind of like collecting tree bark, actually.
Tree bark.
It never occurred to me to collect tree bark.
Do you have a lot of tree bark?
Like all the tree barks, even Birch?
Yep.
Thank you for saving my Valentine's Day.
But wait, we still have to hear Pete's Valentine.
Here?
Oh.
That's why I couldn't find that one.
Well, that's because there wasn't one to find.
He's writing a--
[SINGING] We like different things and that's fine by me.
It's great we see the world so differently.
You don't have to look like me or digs
the things I do 'cause that ain't gonna stop me
from liking you.
I like bananas.
Grumpy, he just liked flies.
And I don't want much, but Sally wants the skies.
Emma speaks French, I don't speak much at all.
Gus has a webbed foot, and I've got a paw.
We like different things and that's fine by me.
It's great we see the word so differently.
You don't have to look like me or dig
the things I do, 'cause that ain't
gonna stop me from liking you.
Callie likes to plant things from beginning to end.
But Pete the cat will always be my free flowing friend.
Dennis has shell, and I'm all covered with fuzz.
As for Wilson, no one sees the world quite like he does.
We like different things and that's fine by me.
It's great we see the world so differently.
You don't have to look like me or dig
the things I do, 'cause that ain't
gonna stop me from liking you.
I have a new friend that I just recently met.
And I don't know a whole lot about her yet.
In case you haven't guessed by now her name is Boo Burrow.
And she's got a good heart, that's
all I really need to know.
We like different things, and that's fine by me.
It's great we see the world so differently.
You don't have to look like me or dig
the things I do, 'cause that ain't
gonna stop me from liking you.
Great song, Pete, if you like that kind of thing.
I loved it.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
That's the best Valentine I ever got, Pete.
It's all the best Valentines ever.
All's well that ends well, I guess.
Remember, cats and kittens--
There's always room in your heart for one more friend,
even if they're not just like you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
