[cat purrs, meows]
[fast, lively flamenco music playing]
[screams]
[giggles]
-[Puss yowling] -El Gato!
[yowls]
[snoring]
Yes, leche.
[mutters] Yeah, yeah. Yeah...
[Artephius in eerie voice] Hello, kitty cat.
Hello, Reaper. Is it my time?
Let me just gather my boots.
Don't be silly, Puss. This is no reaper.
It's my Sino puppet, for the festival!
The festival? What festival?
[all] El Festival de San Lorenzo!
Every year the whole town comes together to celebrate...
well, us!
Oh, there's music and dancing,
and hugging.
-[Toby] Yay! -[Puss grunts]
It's the greatest day of the year
just after Christmas, my birthday, and Tuesdays!
[grunting]
This festival, it sounds most pleasant.
Also, could you please stop dancing on me?
My pancreas thanks you.
Now, this festival, tell me everything.
There's dancing! And a parade!
And water to wash yourself with.
And here's the big news!
This year the town has decided to honor you as San Lorenzan of the Year!
Yes!
I mean... I accept.
[all] Yay!
El Festival is coming!
-[thud] -[grunts]
I'm okay.
Now, the trick to good macramé is
that you have to have literally no other interests.
[neighs]
Dulcinea, I have prepared a speech for the festival.
[clears throat]
"People of San Lor--"
"People of San Lorenzo, I am humbled by this honor.
But not that humbled, of course, as you are correct in awarding it to me,
since I am the single greatest adventurer who ever lived, or ever will live
in the entire universe, everywhere."
Puss, don't you think that sounds a bit self-centered?
The festival is for all of us, not just you.
If it is not for me, then why did the orphans do that?
Looking good, Esme.
Well, sure, they built a Puss float because they adore you, but--
Yes, they do. I am their favorite person, and nothing will ever change that.
[chuckles] Ever. Of this I am certain.
Perfect.
It is only safe to hold this festival
because I have done such a fine job defending the town.
See? "Days Since Last Villain:
six." A new record!
Well, I suppose you are the one being honored.
Yes, I am. And as honoree, I ask only one thing.
And what is that, Señor Puss?
That we dance!
[flamenco music playing]
-[male] Puss in Boots! -[music stops]
Show yourself!
Puss in Boots!
Who dares shout my name in an aggressive fashion?
What up, player? It's me, Brandt.
-Where's the love, bro? -Back, villain!
I have defeated you before, and will do it again.
Okay. I know the last time I was here, I stole stuff and you had to kick my butt,
but, I swear, I'm not here to do bad guy junk this time.
And why should I believe your lying lies?
This is hard for me to admit, but I need your help.
I need your help real bad!
-More lies! -I don't want to fight you, bro! Ah!
There's this evil wizard! He put my brothers under a spell!
He made them kick me out of the ninja posse!
[grunting]
You must think I was born yesterday.
Well, I have some news for you, buddy. It was many days earlier.
Aah!
Dude, look into my face-eyes and tell me I'm lying.
I will look into your face-eyes, but know this,
no one can hide a lie from Puss in Boots.
Come at me, bra.
Hmm.
A wizard put my brothers under a spell, bro.
You are not lying.
-So, you'll help me? -No.
Why not?
You are a thief, you disrupted my festival,
and you ruined my no-villains streak!
[chuckles awkwardly]
Okay. All right. I get it.
I know when I'm not wanted.
I guess I'll just go eat some garbage because nobody cares about stupid old me.
-[Toby] Brandt? -Huh?
[Brandt wheezes]
Oh. Uh, hey, Tobes. [sniffles] What's up?
Yeah, allergies are the worst, am I right?
I-I guess so.
So, I am super in need of a place to crash.
-Cool if I bunk with you? -I don't know.
You were pretty mean to me the last time I saw you.
No, I wasn't.
Okay. Want to stay with me at the orphanage?
-[laughs] -[Toby grunts]
-Thank you, Toby. -[laughs]
Yay! Woo!
Yeah, yeah, whoo-a!
Wow, look at those moves!
You could learn a thing or two from him, Puss.
I dislike that pig.
[squeals]
-Toby! Toby! Toby! Toby! Toby! -Yay!
[Brandt grunts]
Yeehaw!
And that's how it's done!
Ta-da!
-Holy smokes! -Wow!
[cheering]
I've seen better.
No, I haven't! That was awesome and we all know it!
The rope burns my legs!
Yeah? Well, it's gonna be even awesomer
when I save my brothers from that evil wizard.
It's gonna be like... [martial arts grunts]
Just like that! 'Cause my brothers are the coolest guys I know.
-See? -[all] Whoa!
See how awesome we are? I super miss those guys.
Oh, and that little scribble is Toby.
[laughs] I'm a scribble!
Hey, Toby, how come you never told us your brother was so swell?
'Cause my little bro's got a tiny widdle brain. Ain't that right, bro?
[laughs] It tickles!
[all laugh]
Here's a thought.
Maybe you guys could be my new posse and help me save my old posse, huh?
Sounds swell! Count us in!
Awesome!
New posse, sound off!
I went potty.
[others] Ew!
What was I thinking? You guys could never replace my brothers!
No posse for the Brandt-man.
Uck! Eww!
That apple tastes like apple. I hate apple!
Ugh!
That one, too. What's the deal?
Brandt, you have to throw that in the garbage!
Say what?
[scoffs] I got an important lesson for you kids.
You should always throw your trash on the floor,
because that way, someone else has to deal with it.
Wow, mister, you sure are smart.
It's like all the books in the world are inside your face!
I wanna try!
Whee!
You see, small children,
when you're as great as I am, you get to do whatever you want.
[all] Whoa!
Now, who wants to see Toby fight whatever's in this bucket?
-Yeah! Yeah! -I do! I do!
[humming]

Yeah, I wrote that.
It's about my brothers. No big.
It's just, I'm lonely without my bros.
You're the only one who understands me.
Anyway, guitar solo!
[vocalizing rock guitar riffs]
Why must everyone who comes to the town bring an instrument?
This is worse than the gobflute!
[Puss whistling]
Good morning! [gasps]
It is... Brandt!
-We're working on the float. -And I'm helping.
Ain't it the best float ya ever seen?
Brandt is my new favorite person.
Did you know that we want to honor Brandt at the festival?
Yeah. You totally should.
-[Esme] Puss! -[grunts]
[giggles]
You!
Ow! Ow! Ow!
[Puss] You will not steal my festival or my orphans.
'Sup, Brojangles?
I have decided that I will do as you have asked.
I will help save your brothers from the wizard.
Dude, nice!
Under one condition!
That you never set foot in San Lorenzo again
and stop teaching the children to do terrible things,
like throw apples and admire you!
Doneskies!
[imitates rock guitar]
Good. We leave at once.
Yes!

That is shockingly literal.
Yeah. Why don't you just call yourselves,
"The Bandits Where Two Guys Can See and One Guy Can't"?
Whoa! How dare you mock our sacred name?
Bandits, attack!
[all shout]
[grunts]
[both] Follow my lead!
No! It is you who will follow my lead!
Dude, that's like asking me to eat my own mouth.
Can't do it. No way.
[makes chewing sounds]
[sighs]
[sniffs] Is someone eating their own mouth?
[yelling]
En garde!
Come at me, bra.

I don't know, he looks pretty cool to me.
Okay, look out. I got you now. [chuckles]

What's happening? Are we winning?
Yes, you won. You have taken all of our money and we are dead.
Yay!
Let him have his moment of happiness.
You're a good guy, bro.
We won! We won!
-[thud] -[grunts]
Brandt, you fought well back there.
You, too, bro.
Hey, you remember that part where that one bandit was all...
-[grunting, shouting] -[both laugh]
That was amusing.
Or how about the part where I did this?
And the bandit, he made the noise of a dying bird!
-[both laugh] -[Brandt] Yeah.
[both] Good times.
Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Sing and ride?
Precisely!

[both grunting]
I think all of the bones have become broken.
Look! We're here!
My brothers' secret lair.
Wait. We must tread carefully.
[grunting in the distance]
[male] Yeah.
-That is a big wizard. -We can take him.
On the count of three. One, two...
[Brandt screams]
...three.
[screams]
Show yourself, wizard!
Go ahead. Get it. Go ahead. Get after it now.
[grunting] Get it. All right, now.
Hey, dude-bro, gimme a sec. Just blasting my pecs.
We've got to get you out of here before the wizard comes back!
-Brandt, what are you doing here? -Savin' you from the wizard.
What wizard?
Duh! The wizard that put a spell on you
and forced you to throw me out of the posse!
Pardon me. Hi. Hello. Puss in Boots.
I was told there was a wizard situation here?
Yeah! Where's he hidin' at?
How many times do we have to tell you, there's no wizard, Brandt.
There's no spell. Nobody forced us to kick you out.
We kicked you out
because you're a self-centered jerk, who only thinks about himself.
Wait, I get it. A wizard didn't make you throw me out.
Exactly.
It was a witch!
[screams] Show yourself, witch!
[sighs]
Dude, I cannot make this any clearer. We do not like you!
You're not making any sense, bra.
How can you not like me when you obviously totally like me?
[growls]
[yells]
[both grunting]
[Brandt] Get off of me.
Tickle him! Tickle him hard!
Enough!
Listen to me. You need to give Brandt a second chance.
Are you insane?
You've spent time with him, right? He's the worst!
Yesterday I would have agreed with you.
But now I can stand beside this pig and honestly say
that we are friendly...ish.
You know what? This moment calls for a rousing speech.
I have one that I believe can be adjusted to fit.
[clears throat] "People of San Lor--"
Ahhh.
"Pigs of this cave.
Brandt is humbled by this honor. But not that humbled, of course,
as you are correct in awarding it to Brandt.
Since Brandt is the single greatest Brandt who ever lived, and Brandt..."
sounds a little self-centered.
Maybe Brandt needs to apologize to Dulcinea.
I mean... to you.
Dude, that speech was, like, all good and junk.
You should be our leader!
We could use that kind of brain power. Raise the average up a scooch.
[sucking, mumbling]
What? I'm getting my lunch back.
That is very kind, but no. Brandt is your rightful leader.
Hey, I'm the boss here, and I say you're the boss here!
No, thank you.
Tell you what. You guys can duke it out.
If Brandt wins, we'll take him back.
But if you beat him, then you got to be our leader...
forever.
[chuckles] And if I say no?
[gasps]
I acce--
[screams]
Cat vs. pig, 37 rounds or until someone's heart explodes.
Extra points for making the other guy cry. Anyone got questions?
And fight!
Psst... I will let you win.
I can't fight you, bro. We bonded today.
I cannot deny this, but all you have to do is hit me once.
I will fall down, and your brothers will take you back.
Dude, no way. We're bros now.
And bros don't let bros hit bros, bro.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
[cheering]
It is our only chance. Now, come on! Hit me!
-No! -Yes!
[both grunting]
No way.
Yes!
-No. -Hit me.
-No. -Come on. Hit me.
No. No.
[Brandt] Hey, wait.
What's this?
-Brandt drew these. -It's us.
This is that time we raided that one village!
And this is when we beat up that one dude, with the face!
And this is when we lived inside a heart.
[sniffs] It smelled like meat.
Dude, he really does care about us!
-Hit me. -No.
-Yes. -No.
He loved us. And we threw him out like an apple!
This is for your own good.
No, I don't want to!
-[Puss grunts] -Wait!
Brandt, we were wrong about you. I'm so sorry.
You're our bro, and sometimes a bro can forget who his bros really are!
But now I know. You are. You are my bro.
Am I saying "bro" too much, bro?

Okay. All right.

I'm leaving now. Goodbye.
[Brandt] Hey!
Thanks, Puss.
[fanfare playing]
I present to you our San Lorenzan of the Year,
Puss in Boots!
[fanfare playing]
[cheering]
My friends, I had prepared a speech all about myself,
but I spent a day with the most self-centered person in existence.
And even he knows who his bros are.
And so do I.
This festival is about all of you, not me.
For you are all, each and every one of you, my bros.
Thank you for accepting me into your town and into your hearts.
Hit it, Artephius!
A-one, and a-two, and a-one-five-Q-fish!
[playing tune]
May I have this dance?
[upbeat Flamenco music playing]
You may, bro.
Whoa!
Let's dance!
[cheering and shouting]
-Whoa. -Oh!
Oh! Ohh. [giggles] Oh.
