[narrator] It's a quiet Sunday evening in Little Tokyo
and while its citizens sit glued to their TV sets,
The Samurai Pizza Cats are out on maneuvers.
They're trying out these darling new Ninja masks
they picked up at a garage sale when--
Hey, I need you at the restaurant.
It's a quiet Sunday evening in Little Tokyo
and everyone's ordering Pizza.
You think feeding people's faces is more important
than staying ready for action.
It is when you realize that the pizza emporiums
-are only cover. -I guess you're right.
[Francine] Stop arguing and come on.
The phone's been ringing off the hook.
[narrator] The emporium is of the utmost importance.
It provides the cats with an effective cover
on the city of Little Tokyo with lots of sales tax.
Oh! Shut your trap. Mr. Know it all.
[narrator] Well... having heard that families all over the city
had to either cook their own Sunday dinners
or signed up for Chinese food. An angry Al Dente
called a meeting and broke some shocking news.
But it was just one night. We rode on maneuvers, Big Al.
Yeah, we wanted to get used to those new Ninja masks
we picked up.
[Al] Nonsense! Francine informed me you'd been out on maneuvers
every night this week. Part of your job is maintaining
that restaurant thus maintaining your cover.
You know I'm thinking about replacing you
with the Rescue team.
You wouldn't dare. I'd retire my Ginsu sword
if you even tried it.
Let's tell them Speedy. I'm behind you all the way.
If you think these guys are going to take over from us,
you're barking up the wrong tree Al.
You three have been messing up a lot lately, haven't you?
Your recent failures have angered the Supreme Catatonic.
Hmm.
-[all shout] -[Al] Here's a gentle reminder
that you've been acting like rank amateurs lately.
You don't know what you're talking about, captain.
[Al] Oh yeah. Think!
Maybe he's right.
[Speedy] I bombed on a Pizza delivery yesterday.
And two days ago... I crashed into Mr. Turtle man's statue
of his grandfather.
And just today our biggest customer...
caught me dozing on his big potato.
[Al grunts] That's just the tip of the iceberg.
There's more, isn't there?
I added too much garlic to the spaghetti sauce. [cries]
And I tangled up the spaghetti.
They spent three whole days last week at that garage sale.
[narrator] While the cats were getting nipped,
Big Cheese was planning a vacation.
[Big Cheese speaking Spanish]
[laughs] Si bueno.
[chuckles] I'm sure the owner of this villa,
The South of Spain won't mind when we muscle in
for a little relaxation. Jerry.
[Jerry shouts]
You really know how to make an entrance, don't you?
Sorry, but I was in a hurry because we only have 41 seconds
to explain the plot in this scene.
What're you talking about?
-Look, look! -You mean the writer
of this episode is only giving us 41 seconds to explain
our part of the plot and that's ridicules story.
[Jerry] That's correct! Now stop explaining,
we're down to 30 seconds.
[Big Cheese] Okay, okay. We're building a combo robot
that'll steam roll over Little Tokyo and create
such gory destruction that I'll be able to take
two weeks' vacation.
[Jerry] What's the clever name of the robot?
A clever name? What does this writer want from me?
I haven't thought of a clever name yet Jerry.
Why do I have to do all the work around here?
-We got to name it. -Well, you name it then.
I know. We'll let Bad Bird name it.
[both sigh] [timer ticking]
Made it with three seconds to spare.
Yup!
[narrator] Back at the meeting called by Al Dente,
the atmosphere was grim.
Al Dente, we urge you to push aside all personal feelings
and make the decision that's best for the survival
of Little Tokyo, sir.
Assign each one of the Pizza Cats
to one of our up posts in the suburb sir.
[Meowzma] Maybe they'll learn to be a bit more responsible
by being on their own.
[Bat Cat] Maybe they'll finally learn to make good Manicotti.
I've decided. Each Pizza Cat shall man at outpost
in the suburbs while The Rescue Team
takes over the main emporium.
[all gasp]
-[all mumbling] -I'm having a nightmare.
[Speedy] The suburbs!
[Francine] You heard it right Speedy.
Hope you have a good time.
[Al] I'm transferring you to the suburbs too, Francine.
What! But why me?
You need discipline. It was your responsibility
-to keep those three in line. -[cries]
[Al] Being out on your own will toughen you up.
[crying] It's not my job to be tough out there.
If you don't stop crying, you'll rot the furniture.
[narrator] Al Dente's decision threatened to disturb
the delicate balance of unity among the tigers of justice.
The plan went into effect the next day.
Thanks for the compliments on the new Spaghetti sauce, mam.
See you again!
Hey fellows, this is the third order of Manicotti I've taken
in the last five minutes.
Here you go mam. I made sure the chef cooked this
with just the right amount of garlic.
I just got some clams for the blue bays.
Save some for the clam sauce chef.
[narrator] The rescue Team proved to be polite
and efficient restaurateurs. A welcome relief from
the Pizza Cats slovenly service.
Have a nice day!
[narrator] But most important it reestablished the cover
so crucial to the team's success.
Meanwhile, Francine was already having her suburban problems.
Hey, hurry with those pizza's. We have a match in an hour.
Get a move on girlie. What's taken so long?
[narrator] She's been assigned to a Pizza Cat headlight
in the neighborhood house of the Little Tokyo
sumo wrestling team.
Here... one seafood pizza the size of Detroit
-sea shells included. -You sure it's hot?
Well, it was hot when I took it out of the oven.
But it took me ten minutes to get it
from there to the counter.
[wrestler] Hey, we ordered three pizza's.
Uh, did you say three? [crying] Oh, Someone help me!
[narrator] And it lead to another exclusive suburban.
Sorry folks, but I needed my eight hour
so I slept a little late today and missed the delivery truck
this morning. I don't have any fresh dough, cheese
so there won't be any pizzas today.
Why don't you all go to the supermarket
for TV dinners. Anyway, pizza is fattening you know.
[chuckles]
Huh. What do you all staring at me like that for?
Hey, get it out.
[man] Who's this wise guy anyway?
[girl] I was expecting to get ten pizzas.
[indistinctive chattering]
[shouting]
Missed him by that much.
[people speaking indistinctly]
These people are crazy or serious about their pizza.
I better get my act together quick.
[narrator] Polly was voted in a gentle fishing village.
-[screaming] -[laughing]
[Polly grunts] Keep your mitts to yourself.
[all laughing] Hear that Marty.
She said keep your mitts to yourself.
I was just trying to be friendly.
[man ] Hey Marty, maybe you beat her in the wrong place.
Try her face. [giggles]
I'll put your lights out.
[fast music] [groaning]
Do any of you other fish want to go sailing?
Now you've really gagged my brother, sister.
Guys, let's get her!
[all shouting]
[grunting and groaning]
I guess that took the wind out of their sail.
[narrator] Polly wouldn't score any points with Al Dente.
But this kind of behavior.
Oh! Be quiet.
[narrator] Okay, forget the points.
Al Dente's and Speedy to a combination Pizza Cat
full service restaurant, cocktail lounge and piano bar
outside of town. Once frequented by showbiz types
and aluminum siding salesman, it was now deserted.
I sure miss working with Guido and Polly.
You wet your bed chump so sleep in it.
[crying] I even miss Francine.
How could Al Dente have decided to send me to this dump!
The jukebox box doesn't even work in this fleet trap.
[narrator] Yes, Speedy has wet his bed and now he--
Who asked you?
[narrator] Well, The Pizza Cats lamented their exile.
[people shouting]
Big Cheese is going to be proud of us.
But we still got to think of a name for you.
You got any ideas?
I'd rather ask the monster masher.
[Bad Bird] The monster masher. I love it! It sings. [laughs]
[gasps]
If the Pizza Cats are out exile, who's going to protect
- Little Tokyo? -Al Dente has appointed
The Rescue Team to take over.
-Yes? -Yup.
Oh! That makes me unhappy.
And you know how I get when I'm unhappy. [cries]
[panicking]
[Meowzma] Oh thank goodness! I mean, sorry you feel
that way Lucile.
[Lucile] Thanks. I'm going to go reload my head.
If she comes back, we'll have to sandbag to join.
Yeah.
Hey fellas, I just got a call from Al Dente.
A monster robot is on the loose.
Yeah!
[ominous music]
[grunts] When this is done, I'm going to take a vacation.
[laughs]
[shouts]
[theme music]
Alright dudes, remember we four are the head honchos now.
Let's say our lucky word together.
Sushi!
[Bat Cat] That folks has just begun.
The Rescue Team is now number one.
Bat Cat in the house with captain Spritz T.
You get four hero's now instead of three.
Then remember the white zone is for loading
and unloading only.
Here goes.
How did Bat Cat fire the gun while he was in the chamber?
You should know by now the show doesn't pay attention
to detail.
-Mother, who likes this show? -Guido's uncle.
I almost wish I had my hands in a pilot pasture about now.
Maybe this TV is working.
That's Little Tokyo.
Hey guys, there's a robot under rap.
We got to stop-- hmm.
[tense music]
Oh wait! What a jerk I am. [grunts]
It's about time for The Pizza Cats to show up.
[Bad Bird] Big deal. Keep ploughing.
-[Catton] Halt that bird! -[Bat Cat] Stop!
-[Meowzma] Stop! -[Spritz] Deceased.
Close your mouth and faint.
Did I hear four voices?
Who's out there?
It's the three bears and Goldilocks, Bad Bird.
We've come to blow your house down.
I think he means the big bad wolf but... you get the idea.
Get ready for the all new, vastly improved 403:
Samurai Pizza Cats!
What happened to the old Pizza Cats?
Did they retire to Miami?
We transferred them out of town.
What did they do? Burn the pepperoni! [laughs]
Wait a minute. Can't waste any time here.
I better start chewing up the scenery.
Allow me to introduce a very good friend of mine.
-Gentlemen, in this corner. -The monster masher.
[laughs]
Look, up there on the roof top.
[Ninja crows cawing]
[exciting music]
What's blue and squats like a chicken?
A pile of Ninja Crows in a hurricane.
This gig is easier than shooting fish in a barrel.
[Ninja Crows cawing]
I can't believe what I'm seeing.
They sure do need help form us.
Well.
The Ninja Crows were easy pickings but this robot's going
to be a tough nut.
Are we ready to put it into high gear fellas?
Yeah.
-Let's hit with a pair of aces. -Aye Aye General!

Alright Spritz, let's give Bad Bird and that monstrosity

Aye Aye General and bums away.
[gasps]
Hope you're not getting bored with all of this.
-Direct hit. -I'll say, well let's go mop up.
[grunting]
[shouting]
I could have told those guys that would happen.
So what? They're on their own.
Rise and shine gentlemen. I want to introduce
another friend of mine. Just give him a second
to put on a happy face.
We got the idea for this baby watching those Mel
what's his name movies. [smirks]
That thing's Mel must be a canon.
[Bad Bird] Quite an accurate assessment my baddy friend.
Now prepare to get blasted into bat pits.
Bat pit.
[fast music] [shouting]
It's situations like these that make me wish
I had a magical Ginsu sword handy.
Ginsu sword.
Hold it!
Do you fellas mind if we put this on the back burner
for a second so I can make a phone call.
Huh!
I got to call Ginsu swords to go.
You'll have to ask my friend here.
[groaning]
[Bad Bird] Did that answer your question?
Speedy, are you watching what I'm watching?
We got to do something to help them.
I agree with Guido.
I'm not going to lift a finger for those guys.
Quit being such a pick-headed dummy Speedy.
Look at how many times they've helped us
out of jams. Being jealous won't save Little Tokyo.
He's had us cornered here for 20 minutes now.
This guy is really making us sweat.
Know something Spritz, I wish we had Speedy
and his magical Ginsu sword right now.
I think it's time we set some fur fly.
Fur fly!
-[Speedy] Oh yeah! -Huh.
We can show you some flying fur Pizza Cat style.
Bad Bird you've had it.
They're here but they better be careful.
I suppose you think you've got the upper hand now.
Well, here's a little present to show you how wrong you are.
[Pizza Cats shouting]
I think we'll have to postpone that vacation.
Don't let that fly away and knock your head
against the tree while you're at it.
I'm angry and I'm going into my Ginsu sword routine.
[narrator] Speedy Cerviche's frustration at having been
exiled to the suburbs and his anger at seeing Bad Bird
fly off just using a nearby chestnut tree,
combined to create a Ginsu sword whirlpool of power
at least triple it's normal intensity.
[grunts] And triple ready!
-Mal go get him! -Aye aye!
Here's something to give you a heartburn,
courtesy of The Rescue Team.
[loud explosion]
-Oh, that's em-bolus. -[laughs quietly] Yeah!
-Talk of another victory. -Yeah!
[all] Hurray for the good guys!
[narrator] Now back to the bad guys.
[grunts] [explosion]
Nice tantrum Seymour. Well, I guess it's back
to the drawing board.
Will I ever get to go on my vacation?
Maybe next year. [sighs]
[cheerful music]
Speedy my friend, I speak for all of us
in saying that you three are the rightful Pizza Cats.
You belong back at the emporium.
We'll go back to the suburbs and stay ever ready
for your call. Meowzma'll even give you our recipe
for Manicotti.
Hey, thanks guys.
We'll all be one big happy family again.
-How corny! -Total cliche.
Corny yes but totally effective. [all laughing]
[narrator] I'll say as long as we're slinging corny cliches
all's well that ends well. Speedy, Guido and Polly
were reinstated to the front line
Little Tokyo emporium that evening.
Hey don't forget me. Speedy will still need a kick
in the back side when he wants to read the paper
instead of making deliveries.
[narrator] Oh sorry Francine.
And Polly and Guido can't make a wheat-ball right
-unless I stand over them. -Shut up!
Come on by, next time the pizza's on the house.
[orchestral music] [narrator] Ladies and gentlemen,
The Samurai Pizza Cat fan club oath.
The Pizza Cats are Samurai, and I'd like to note:
Their antics take your breath away.
[Big Cheese] 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 thee, O Pizza Cat!
Please ring your little bell!
