"DON'T FALL ASLEEP"
Tama, let's play!
Tama?
Tora!
What are you doing?
Trying not to fall asleep.
I get sleepy easily while sitting in the sun...
but while I'm sleeping, I'm sure...
There isn't any left, Tama.
...Takeshi and the family are feasting on something delicious!
So I refuse to fall asleep today! I'm going to get my share of the tasty treat!
Then I'll hang out with you.
--Really? --Sure.
I'm up for your family's treat, too!
Yeah!
So how do we not fall asleep?
You fall asleep if you close your eyes, so if you keep them open, you won't sleep, right?
Isn't this tough?
My eyes hurt!
It's impossible to keep your eyelids from closing for a long time!
Kuro!
Yo, Tora! Tama!
What are you up to?
Jogging! Ten laps around town! Want to join me, Tora?
I'll pass.
Hey, Kuro. Do you know of a way to keep from getting sleepy?
You wouldn't get sleepy while moving your body like this!
I see!
True, moving around like this...
...keeps us from getting sleep! Kuro's a genius!
Isn't this tiring?
There's no need to move around for all we're worth.
Exactly. Just our tails will do.
Oh no!
That was close! I almost fell asleep!
Hey, Tora, want to play the word-chain game?
We won't get sleepy if we focus on that.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay, I'll start. Truck!
Koma!
Apple.
Egg.
Giant!
Tree.
Elephant.
Third.
Doorknob.
Book.
Kooten...
Nook.
Kooten.
Nose.
Close call!
We were on the verge of falling asleep.
Hey, what's a "kooten" anyway?
Hey, since we might fall asleep, why don't we wait here?
If we hang out here, we'll wake up when Takeshi moves us to make room for his snack!
--Right! --Clever!
I'm not good with hard surfaces like this.
I prefer a soft futon myself.
I won't be able to sleep like this.
Nope. I won't even get sleepy.
I wonder what the treat will be.
I wonder...
Hey, Tama.
Yeah?
What's a "kooten"?
A "kooten" is...
Oh, Tora came over to play.
Maybe they got tuckered out after playing.
I'd feel guilty about waking them, so I'll eat over here.
Having a snack while looking at napping cats is great.
This is the best treat.

"QUIZ! TAMA AND GON"
You want to go to Hawaii?
Yeah!
You want to go, whatever it takes?
Yeah!
Quiz! Tama and Gon 's final TV special!
This is the night. A historical moment is at hand.
Possibly.
Again, our challenger tonight
represents Third Street and is known as "the Sleepy Stray," Tama Okamoto!
How do you feel with the final question right before you?
I-I'm as calm as ever!
You could've fooled me!
Now, if you win 10 points...
"PRIZE! SOMETHING THAT'S SALTY-SWEET"
...you'll get something that's salty-sweet!
Salty-sweet!
What about the vacation in Hawaii?
All right, let's begin!
The final question for Quiz! Tama and Gon !
Smash chance!
It's a question about Nora, the lone wolf of Third Street.
Why does Nora wear a fur coat all year 'round?
A. It's stylish.
B. He gets chilled easily.
C. It's his own fur.
All right, start the thinking time!
Can he guess with this one?
Don't you think it's too easy for a final question?
It may be a trick question.
That was fast, Tama!
Does it make a difference when I'm the only player?
What's your answer?
Um... B!
Is that your final answe-ruff?
When you put it like that, I'm not sure.
Why don't you use a Lifeline?
Okay, I'll use Telephone!
Hello?
Yes?
Is it okay that he's talking to the guy himself?
This is his chance!
Good luck!
His telephone partner is Nora himself!
Can Tama capitalize on this stroke of good luck?
Hey, Nora, why are you always wearing a coat?
It's stylish? Because you get chilled? Or it's actually your own fur?
Don't be silent! Tell me!
Not everything in life has an answer.
--What? --Heaven does not create one cat above another cat.
When a cat forgets to put its tongue back in, that's just carelessness.
What are you talking about? That doesn't help me right now!
If you gaze long enough at a mouse, the mouse will gaze back--
Time's up!
Oh, come on!
It's too soon to give up!
Since this is the final question, all points are doubled!
If you get it right, it's another ten points with the Super Bull dolls!
What were these points up until now, then?
So what's your answer?
"Why does Nora wear a fur coat all year 'round?" "A. It's stylish." "B. He gets chilled easily" C. It's his own fur."
Um, let's see...
What do you say?
M-My answer is... C!
Is that your final answe-ruff?
F-Fi-meowl answer!
The correct answer is...
♪ Kitty-cat, puppy, kitty-cat! ♪
"QUIZ! TAMA AND GON" "THE FINAL EPISODE" "THANK YOU FOR WATCHING." ♪ Puppy, kitty-cat, puppy! ♪
"QUIZ! TAMA AND GON" "THE FINAL EPISODE" "THANK YOU FOR WATCHING." It's over?! What about the answer?
"QUIZ! TAMA AND GON" "THE FINAL EPISODE" "THANK YOU FOR WATCHING." Well, it'll work out somehow.
"BEH AND BULL ARE BFFS"
Like this?
Or this?
Or better like this?
No!
I've got it.
My face in profile, with my head tilted at a 35 degree angle, one hand on my hip,
my feet shoulders-width apart is best.
Whoa. While I was searching for my most dazzling self, evening crept up on me.
Hi, Bull.
Tama's bandaged buddy? What are you doing here?
The name is Beh.
I came to deliver the evening paper.
You're supposed to put it in the mail slot.
Well, since you were out here...
Hey!
Don't loiter here!
If your business is done, get lost!
I want to explore.
Get out! Now!
What is "searching for my most dazzling self"?
Gulp!
A-All right.
Since you insist, I'll show you.
But don't tell a single soul what--
What does your backyard look like?
This guy rubs me the wrong way.
Okay, that's enough! Your exploration is over!
That's a big house!
Your family must be rich, Bull.
This is called a storehouse.
I'm sure it's obvious from the dignity that exudes from my pores,
but families with storehouses are pretty illustrious.
Hey! Don't go in there!
Listen, going in there...
You stay out of the storehouse, Bull.
It's freezing in there, so you would catch a cold.
If you go in there...
I'll have to warm you up with this cute sweater I knitted!
If I go in the storehouse, the punishment is wearing a tacky sweater.
Again?
Don't tell me he went in there?
Hey, Bandage! If you're in there, answer me!
Give me a break.
Oh dear!
The storehouse door is open!
I can't have Bull going in there.
I was wondering what kind of treasures were stored in here.
I'm no expert, but it all seems like moldy junk.
What the...
Bull!
B-Bandage! You should've answered when I called you!
Sorry about that. There's so much interesting stuff in here that I got absorbed.
Interesting? Like what?
Here, look at this.
When I go like this...
I don't get it!
You've seen enough! Now let's go!
It's over already? That's too bad.
Don't you have evening papers to deliver?
That's right! We were in the middle of delivering newspapers!
Banta is always getting mad at me for making detours.
I-It won't open.
The door won't open!
Then I can explore more?
No! It means we're trapped in here!
Me and you!
Then I'm going to browse in the back!
You need to have more of a sense of danger!
Did you say something?
I wasn't expecting that.
Thank you, Bull!
You drive me nuts.
I have to get my people to notice.
The rest of my life with Bandage over there...
I'm going in.
If it had been Momo instead, it would've been the perfect chance to convey my passion for her.
Hey, look at this!
Now what?
That's...
Huh? When did that get there?
Give that back!
This bandana is a memento from my long-lost father.
I can't really remember him now.
Even the bandana doesn't have a trace of his scent left.
Ants are incredible, you know?
Huh? Bull, did you say something?
Listen when I talk to you!
Wha...
Where are we?
I don't think we're on Third Street anymore.
What did you do?
I don't know, but none of these streets are familiar.
To me, this is paradise!
Hey! Don't run off!
Even for a cat, he's too screwy!
Enough... I want to go home.
That's right! We match!
Hey, if you're alone too, let's play!
That jerk! Picking up another cat as if I'm not trailing after him!
Lovely lady! You'll get hurt if you hang out with him.
If you're going to choose, it should be a kind chunk of meat like myself.
Huh? Where were you?
A-A child...
Are you two friends?
--That's right. --No!
Which is it?
Lost?
How can a cheerful kid like him be lost?
He said he wandered away from his father.
But we'll find him!
I promised, right?
Yeah! After all, we're birds of a feather!
How's that?
We're both wearing a helmet, right?
We're also both lost, so that means we can be BFFs.
BFFs are like birds of a feather!
O-Oh. Good for you.
Hey, what kind of dog is your father?
My papa is really strong and kind!
Papa gave me this helmet!
I love Papa!
I see! I hope you can be with him again soon.
Yeah! When I grow up, I'm going to be a great bulldog like him!
You're a bull too?
Yeah. Papa and I are both bulls.
Just like you!
Oh yeah! Then we can be BFFs too!
I'll tell you right now, you and I will never be BFFs.
Even after going on this expedition together?
You dragged me into this!
What are you laughing at?
After all, when I got into a fight with my friend,
Papa taught me that BFFs do that.
Your papa sounds very wise!
Whatever!
Oh, I know! Squat down for a second, fellow bulldog!
Here.
You can have this!
Now you two are birds of a feather!
Are you sure? Your old man made this for you.
You...
You two have the same coat and eye color! You could be brothers!
Birds of a feather!
Y-Yeah.
Hey, what's your name?
Hey, Bull!
Papa!
No... It can't be...
Papa!
I'm Bull the bulldog!
Thanks for helping me find Papa!
I told you not to wander off!
I'm sorry, Papa.
The important thing is you're safe.
I won't leave you again.
I won't forget my promise to you ever again, Papa!
It's okay if you forget.
That's how you become an adult.
I'm looking forward to it.
I wonder what you'll be like when you grow up.
I became BFFs with a cool older bulldog who looked just like me!
He even has a bandana that matches yours, Papa!
Look!
Bye-bye!
That boy's father was posing just like you, Bull.
Hey, you!
You've got some nerve, snoring on top of me!
Sorry about that.
But I feel like I had the most wonderful dream.
Dream? That was a dream?
In the dream, a little boy who looked a lot like you was wearing that.
This scent... It's Papa!
I was in the middle of delivering newspapers!
See you around, Bull!
That guy really rubs me the wrong way.
Oh well.
I guess I'll let him off the hook for today.
BFFs are like birds of a feather!
As someone once said!
