[narrator] It was just another quiet day in Little Tokyo
[Big Cheese] Get that girl! Holy mackerel!
Until the spy is caught this city will not rest!
[indistinct] ...will not rest either.
What? You old bird!
I meant no dishonor your Ratness.
Of course, I meant no special honor either.
All I'm saying is that maybe you can
get more mice by giving them cheese.
I am The Big Cheese and no one messes with me
is that clear?
[energetic music]
How can I call myself The Big Cheese
when I'm nothing but a big ham?
I've never been so humiliated.
Sure you have.
[Big Cheese] My life is in the sewer,
my cousins from Pekipsy don't love me
and I can never get this fan to open.
[crying] My opening night at the theater is ruined
because of those snoopy nose girl!
Unless you can dispose of her.
[screaming] She must be hunted down
and kept from talking as soon as possible
or else these bubbles will never stop
coming out of my mouth!
[narrator] In the meantime life continued to scurry along
in the midday of Little Tokyo's business district.
As did Guido Anchovy on his pizza delivery skates.
Man, these new paw cruisers are great.
[yells joyfully]
Yes! It's Magic Johnson and Whiskers!
[screams with surprise]
[screams] Oh, I'm so sorry!
Now, now.
[Guido] Don't worry about dropping a spot of water
on little old me.
Cleared out my eyes so I can look at yours better.
[screams and starts crying]
Maybe in one of my nine lives
I'll be smart enough to figure out
why you're crying about this,
but I haven't got the time.
Uh-uh. Gotta be off with the pizza.
-[Guido] Hi! I mean bye! -Honestly.
[mischievous music]
[narrator] Nearby in the meantime
at the very same moment.
as Guido Anchovy is practicing his dunk shot,
[Big Bird] It was last reported that the redheaded girl
was seen near here.
So we got to cover this area again quickly.
Let's go!
[humming cheerfully]
[out of breath]
[humming continues]
[screaming]
[screams]
-And he scores! -[scared] Please help me!
I'm being followed by some strange looking birds!
[narrator] Guido didn't hear a word she said
for at that moment he was thinking
about what a beautiful looking bird he just bumped into.
Oh! There she blows!
[shrieks]
Alright. Step aside and hand over the girl, buster!
[angry groan]
Don't say I didn't warn you!
[screams]
-[screams] -Play ball!
[moaning in pain]
We'll catch you later, fur ball.
Retreat!
[mocking crow]
[crows] We'll be back!
You saved my tail. Thank you.
[Guido] Hey, you're welcome.
Huh?
[nervous laugh]
What did you say your name was?
My name is Guido
and my anchovy' name is Aunt Sophie.
No, that isn't it.
My name is Guido Anchovy
and both of us think that you're a real gem.
Well, that's good because my name is Ruby.
Will I have the honor of escorting you home, Ruby?
This doesn't seem to be a safe cartoon for you.
Oh, that would be very kind. Thank you!
[narrator] But Guido was more than kind.
He was kind of hypnotized.
That's right my little jewel.
Lead me home.
[Polly Esther] What? But that's impossible
mister Winkle.
No, of course I'm not saying you're a liar.
We'll put another pie right on the fire.
Sorry.
I sure hope Guido's okay.
I'll bet my spinning pizza dough
there's nothing the matter with Anchovy.
He's just out catting around if my instincts are right.
[Polly Esther is growling]
[frightened] Tell mister Winkle I'm on my way!
I sure hope Guido was not distracted!
I'm running out of pans!
[angry groan]
[narrator] But in fact, Guido had been distracted.
Very distracted.
Boy, this is a real swanky condominium.
We like it.
[Guido] So do you know why
someone would want to hurt you, Ruby?
[Ruby] No, Guido, I don't.
I made a dress for the Big Cheese's niece
recently, but I think she really liked it.
She can't help it if she's a little mousy I guess.
Oh, there. There we are.
[yells with surprise]
[narrator] What had appeared to be quite beautiful
from the outside was actually quite...
Well, this was just a series of broken down shacks.
Would you like to come in and have a bowl of milk with me?
[Guido] Oh, gee, I can't.
Oh, too bad. But thank you again for seeing me safely home.
[dazed] Uh, my pleasure.
[dramatic music]
[laughs] So now I know where the pretty jewel lives.
[crows cawing]
Hello dad. I just had the most incredible day.
Awesome. Totally.
That's nice dear, but I'm over here, Ruby.
[casual music] Huh?
[yells]
[embarrassed] Of course you are. Oh, I hate when I do that.
[coughs]
You really ought to get a pair of glasses.
Don't be silly, you're my father
and I don't have to see you to love you,
you stubborn old bulldog, you.
Well, time to play.
I guess I'll just sit here and talk to the teddy some more.
[mischievous music]
[sinister laugh]
[loud cutting noise] [screaming]
[cutting metal]
[sighs]
Sheet metal work is so fulfilling.
[groaning]
[screaming] That wasn't fair!
[unintelligible screaming]
[snoring]
[screams]
[out of breath]
So Bad Bird, did you have another breakthrough?
I know where she lives.
I followed the girl to her house.
[gasps] Then she's still at large.
I am the only thing at large
in the city of Little Tokyo!
And I vow to bring the girl
to her knees this day.
[dramatic music]
[Big Cheese laughing]
Excellent job, Bird.
Now send a robot
and get rid of her for once and for all.
Robot... well.
Robots are costing a lot of money.
Why don't you let it go?
Rate my snout! No, I will not let it go
and I will not rest until we've gotten rid
of this snoopy girl!
Alright! We hear you!
Consider this ratty scheme of yours processed, Cheesy.
[crying]
We sure are going through a lot of trouble.
It makes me wonder what the girl had seen
that could be such a dark secret, huh?
[nervously] Well, um...
Go on.
[mischievous music]
I wish they'd stop this.
I can't stand to be tortured
so by these memories.
What a festive costume
for my stage performance for the lead role
in The Sound Of Music.
I'll make a stunning Maria von Trapp.
Julia Andrews eat your heart out.
Oh, Ruby, you've done it again.
Far away from home and lost.
Now where am I?
-[Ruby] Anyone home? -[gasps]
[narrator] But Cheesy knew he had been caught.
My hair is not done.
[narrator] You might say their eyes met
across an empty room.
The encounter rendered The Big Cheese speechless.
Well, no, nothing could accomplish that.
I'll get you for this. How dare you?
Just go away.
[narrator] But not even Julie Andrews
had to face this humiliation.
A spy! She's ruined my surprise
and my mascara! [growls]
Well, I won't let her get away with it
I want that robot out there
and I want it now!
Yes.
[casual music]
Do you think he'll ever close his mouth again?
Polly, do you remember what we did last time
Guido was in a trance?
No, I don't remember how we got him out him out of it.
Well, I backed up and flew some sense into him.
[screaming]
[gasps]
[mischievous music]
Before today I never knew what true love was
and the passion the soul can possess
when the heart is on fire.
I vow from this moment on
you felines shall see a new cat.
It's a bright new day.
I've heard of starry eyed
but I've never heard of ruby eyed.
[phone rings]
Bye, I mean hi, how'd you like your pizza pie?
What? Ginger Towers is in deep trouble?
We'll be there and on the double.
Ginger Towers is where Ruby lives!
[laughing hysterically]
This should teacher her to keep her nose
out of our theater!
[laughing hysterically]

[narrator] And once again
like a bucket of bad yeast,
the Samurai Pizza Cats
are rising to the occasion.
[Francine] Okay, according to my radar range
we're headed for Ginger Towers.
We know where to go.
[Francine] So, citizens of Little Tokyo!
The Pizza Cats have a mission.
We're ready to blast off.
We'd like your permission
we're delivering heroes
to save the day the Super Subway Pizza Cat way!
Clear the streets and alleys too
look out bad guys, we're coming through!
Speedy.
Polly!
Guido! Go, go, go!
[energetic music]
Look mom! It's the Samurai Pizza Cats
flying over our heads!
Hurry up and eat
your ice cream cone, Junior.
Before it melts from the heat of their fireballs.
[narrator] Yet again, the Pizza Cats
were flying straight and true.
There's the place!
[Guido] What the?
[screaming]
[loud crash]
[coughs]
We gotta start trying
that new high test gasoline.
[terrified screaming]
We're never gonna make it
to Ruby's floor in time to safe her!
We only had a 100 floors to go.
[groaning]
I'm calling Francine for help!
[ringing] It sounds like the Pizza Cats
need a thicker crust.
[Francine] This is a job for Bat Cat!
Francine to Bat Cat.
Please come in, we need you now.
Bat Cat and I'm on my way!
[narrator] And Bat Cat was off
because he believes
in the Pizza Cats' fight for the right!
And because
he was the only one
who could fly to the top of Ginger Towers.
He'll turn that tower into chopsticks!
[Ruby] Oh, daddy! The building's coming down!
Hurry, run for cover, Ruby.
I'm too old to move.
We'll stay together.
[Ruby screams] [Big Bird laughs]
There's our target now.
Get them Rocco, you hear?
[energetic music]
[Bat Cat] Got you!
[yells with disbelief]
That guy is what I call a home wrecker!
Who dares to escape alive?
[laughing]
What is that noise, huh?
[narrator] But deep in his feathers,
Bad Bird knew that the sound
he was hearing was the sound
of heroes!
Where there's a rat, there's a Pizza Cat.
[energetic music]
When there's a villain about
it's no time to whine.
It's time to call in a super feline.
Love you.
When it's time for good and right
through and out.
All you have to do is shout!
Pizza Cats!
That will be enough of this tiresome trio!
Ninja Crows attack!
Ready! Set!
Go!
[crows moaning with pain]
Hey, wait a minute!
I don't know how to fly!
[angry yelling]
Yeah! Take that you scoundrels!
[laughing]
[energetic music continues]
[whimpering]
Let's play squash the bug, Rocco.
[screams]
[laughing]
What? Oh, no you don't!
[Big Bird is screaming]
-Okay! -You dare to destroy Ruby's home
and put her life and her family in jeopardy!
Now you must pay!
I thought that was my line.
Oh well. [growls]
Whatever he said goes double for me, you hear me?
[growls] Get the white one first, Rocco!
Time to fight fire with fire.
[narrator] And so once again
Speedy Cherviche is forced
to raise his magical Ginzu sword.
But in defense, magical? Yes.
How else would we explain
this pink colored swirling stuff?
[energetic music]
[growls]
Alright, make my day!
[explosion]
[laughs]
They don't call me Speedy for nothing.
Ta Da!
[coughing]
Thanks, Guido!
I've always hated this place.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Oh.
Not on the first date. Guido!
[Ruby] Guido!
I'll keep an eye on you, Red!
[narrator] And someone else
was keeping an eye on Red as well.
[gasps]
[narrator] The Big Cheese realized
the spy in his chambers
was now wearing glasses
and he put the puzzle together.
He saw that he'd been shortsighted
not to see that Ruby was farsighted
and could not see, see?
[groans] I wrecked my own opening night!
[groaning]
[explosion]
[moans]
[weakly] Is this the end?
[narrator] Maybe it's the end for miss Aratic,
but for Guido Anchovy
it seemed only the beginning.
This episode had some danger,
but so what. It was in the name of love.
[unintelligible muttering]
Oh, Bakelips!
I'm so glad to see
that you are not hurt
my little puppy dog tail!
[laughs]
We should get married right away.
[Ruby] Whatever you say my big strong doll face.
Pinch me I must be dreaming.
[groaning]
[narrator] But Guido wasn't dreaming.
It was all real. Anything is possible
when one allows themselves to become distracted.
Now where was I? Oh, yeah.
Maybe next time
Guido sets out with a pizza
he'll deliver it.
On the next
Pizza Cats!
[narrator] As our heroes are busily preparing
for the big festival,
princess Vine decides that she wants to
go out among the commoners
in disguise and then join the town's festivities.
The Big Cheese sees this
as a perfect opportunity
to eliminate the princess,
put a robot in her place
and rob the town treasury.
He sends Bad Bird out on a diabolical mission
to give the disguised princess
a substance which will convert her
from a demanding princess
to a mild mannered dentist.
Al dente, worried that something might happen
to the princess, turns to the Pizza Cats for help.
They agree, but only if Al stays behind
at the restaurant to help with the festival crowd.
But our heroes have a difficult
time keeping up with the princess,
leaving Bad Bird with an opportunity
to complete his mission.
Will Big Cheese take over the treasury?
Will our heroes be able to stop Bad Bird?
Will princess Vine end up doing [indistinct]?
Find out next time
Double trouble for princess Vine.
On the next Samurai Pizza Cats,
the heroes who always land on their feet.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Samurai Pizza Cats fan club oath;
The Pizza Cats are samurai
and I'd like to know note.
Their antics take your breath away.
Like fur balls in your throat.
We kittens are a special breed
we never call retreat.
Whenever Big Cheese knocks us down,
we land upon our feet.
[narrator] So hail to the old Pizza Cats.
Please ring your little bell.
Although you may be pen and ink,
we know you'll fight like Pizza Cats!
