The Nutcrackers

Guys.

- Here it comes. - Me.

I got it.

Throw it.

Here, here Rita.

Come on Rita. Don't be a ball hog.

Pass it to me.

Rita prepares to make a shot,

that will go down in history.

Well yes, without a doubt, she's made history.

See that Rita.

You should have passed me the ball.

That's what happens when you don't take the team into account.

So, what do we do now?

Tweet, tweet, tweet.

Thanks, Talilo.

Not to worry, Talilo.

You tried your best.

Over here everybody.

Alfred, Milo,

when Talilo counts to three,

jump together onto the other end of the see saw.

That way you'll propel me up to the basket,

so I can rescue the ball.

Hmm. Sorry to be skeptical about this plan.

If you don't mind,

I'd rather not part and stay here with Moomoo.

But I don't think it's a bad idea.

If Olga jumps with me, we can try to do it.

Let's go, Milo.

Start counting, Talilo.

Here we go!

Ouch.

That was a great score.

Three points.

Can't you be more careful.

With all this noise, one can't even enjoy,

a quiet swing in the park.

So, what do we do now?

I see for today, I'm going to have to put my brain to work.

Just wait here. I'll be right back.

What's that Alfred?

It's called a boomerang.

It's a magical device because you throw it far,

and it comes right back to where you are.

- What is it? - Oh, wow.

I've never seen anything like it in my life.

Let me see. Let me see.

Look.

- Awesome! - Oh, how did you do that?

The trick's in the shape.

It's a piece of wood shaped in a curve in such a way,

that if you throw it with a good spin,

it comes right back to the starting point.

- Incredible. - Oh, I love it.

Now you'll see how easy it is to get the ball back.

Woah!

It's mine!

Ohhh.

Ow!

There's been a slight error in the flight part.

The throw was absolutely perfect but I'm sure,

the wind must have blown it off course.

What do you think you're doing?

You almost had my head off.

You guys are useless and look at yourselves.

What a sight for sore eyes.

Some friends I have,

I'm leaving.

Hello.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Do you see her? Who is she?

I don't know the pattern she wears.

She's obviously wearing last year's clothes.

Oh, it's so true. Check her designer,

it's so much out of fashion.

Yeah, she looks like a table cloth. So mega tasteless.

Oh baby, you're so out.

Hi there, my name's Moomoo and you girls?

Hi, I think you mean, hello.

So, you don't know who we are?

No, excuse me.

- We're... Stars. - Stars?

Darling, stars as in

s- t- a- r- s.

Star's you say?

But the stars that I know are in the sky,

and they shine at night.

Those are normal stars.

We're special and we shine during the day.

Then I want to be a star as well just like all of you.

Oh my god.

You a star? Like all of us?

Ugh, I don't think so.

And... Why not?

Ugh, just look at yourself and then look at us.

- Mm hmm. - Don't you see the difference?

Come back to reality. You look like a bag lady.

You lack glamour.

And well, what do I have to do then to be a star?

What a question.

Us stars here shine whenever we need to,

like in the right place.

Shining is drawing attention.

Making other look at you like all the time.

And admire you.

And.., what kind of things do stars do?

We are famous actresses.

We star in many films and also perform live.

Yeah. We play all sorts of characters.

And we sing, and we dance and we play any role they give us.

I would love to see all of you perform.

We can also perform our latest show for her, girlfriend.

Woo!

Wow, you're amazing.

Wow.

Well, what you've just seen is our job.

We're so popular that we get asked to go many places.

We're always on the road. You know?

So, where are you going to now?

Well, we're off to show off our talent,

and perform in the Kingdom of the Sun.

We've been hired to perform for none other,

then the King of that Country himself.

Well, we're gonna go because our train leaves in ten minutes.

And with so much small talk, we haven't been able to grab a bite.

Maybe the sheep were right.

I thought I was special.

Now I know I'm not.

I'm just normal and run of the mill.

And I have a dull boring life.

Without any shine to it and with friends,

who are even less interesting and more boring.

I'm feeling jealous... So bad.

I want to be a star too.

But here... I'm never going to make it.

Whew, careful Alfred. Watch out.

Anyone... Thirsty?

I am. Can I have some water?

Ahhh.

Mmm, so nice and cool.

And now me Rita.

Alfred, it's your turn.

No Rita. No, no.

- I don't want it. - Tweet, tweet, tweet.

Sorry, Talilo.

I won't get you wet again.

Wow, wow.

Tweet, tweet, tweet.

Sorry. I didn't mean to.

It won't happen again.

Do you guys know what a star is?

Of course we do.

A star is one the Heavenly Bodies that shine in the sky at night.

As well as the moon and the planets.

I know that. I don't mean those stars.

I mean the other ones.

The ones that shine in the day and they live on Earth.

- Yeah right. Stars on Earth. - Stars on Earth.

I met some real honest to goodness stars.

They're unique and very special.

Oh yeah? And who are they?

Well, precisely all the sheep,

grazing out there in the meadow.

The ones that just got off the train. Haven't you seen them?

A bunch of sheep?

And since when are sheep stars?

They only think of eating grass and roaming around on the meadow.

As far as I know,

those ruminants have never,

made it into the history books for any remarkable feat.

And you all?

What kind of feats have you guys accomplished?

Um--

All you two know how to do is break windows and fall into the mud.

And besides, neither you nor I are wearing the latest fashion.

Just look at us.

We don't follow any style.

We don't even wear matching clothes.

Tweet, tweet, tweet.

Yeah, I don't think those are pajama stripes either but,

don't worry Talilo.

Well, I copied my clothes from an English Lord,

who served the Queen of England herself.

Tweet, tweet, tweet.

You're very kind, Talilo.

As you do, I think it gives me a distinguished elegant heir.

Don't you like my flowered pattern any longer?

But you helped me choose it.

Moomoo,

I never thought you would be taken in by appearances.

It's what's under the clothes that's important.

Yeah but looks count too when we're as far and

new from becoming stars as the planet Mars is from our home.

Then I want to become a star.
