Scene 1

INT. BROADWAY THEATER. NIGHT

We start the scene in a Broadway theater, where a lot of people are watching CATS. But none of those cat-actors are the main characters. The real characters are a gray dog(FREDDIE), and a black cat (ELTON) watching play hidden in the scenery.

FREDDIE
Who created this?

ELTON
Well, it was really based on a novel.

FREDDIE
But. Who adapted it as a musical?

ELTON
I don´t know.

FREDDIE
I´ll tell you, the same people who transformed ROCKY into a musical.

ELTON
There´s a musical about ROCKY?

FREDDIE
Yes, I know it is weird, but its true.

ELTON
I think we don´t have to give sense to a musical.

FREDDIE
Yeah, but it curious because there is a hole gang of humanized cats that who are presented by several musical numbers.

ELTON
Yes, but is Broadway´s must popular musical.
FREDDIE
A musical, with no plot. Just people dressed as cats who dance and sing. And there are weird types of cats: they have magician cats, rocker cats, and superhero cats.

ELTON
I know.

FREDDIE
And by some reason they spend all the time bothering the dogs. There´s a song that talks about a cat that fight a lot of savage dogs, and how forget the part of the final song where they say that a cat is not a dog.

ELTON
You don´t like when people do that, do you?

FREDDIE
(He laughs) Yes, I know.

ELTON
Do you want to go to The hidden market?

FREDDIE
Only if Howard pays.

ELTON
You already said it pal.

(End of the scene)

Scene 2

EXT.BROADWAY STREETS. NIGTH

FREDDIE and ELTON walk trough Broadway streets, talking about what they think about the pets.

FREDDIE
Why do they see us as homeless and scoundrel animals?

ELTON
Maybe because they think our lifestyle is so different from his lifestyle.

FREDDIE
If they really did, they wouldn´t bother us.

ELTON
Oh, good point.

Then they arrive to their neighbor hood made of street stuff, but they hear a strange sound in the trash.

ELTON
What is that?

FREDDIE
(In tension) Don´t freak out.

ELTON
Don´t worry, I won´t freak out.

Then BRUCE the rat appears.

BRUCE
Oh, there you are guys.

FREDDIE
(Relaxed)Do you want to freak us out.

BRUCE
No, I just wanna get some food.

FREDDIE
Why do you insist on continuing to eat that?

BRUCE
(Angry)HEY! Don´t judge me Freddie.

FREDDIE
Sorry, I didn´t want to break your tiny rat heart.

BRUCE
(Relaxed) No don´t worry, its just that I don´t like when other animals judge my lifestyle.

FREDDIE
You´re not the only one (Sigh), you´re not the only one.

Then Bruce climbs on FREDDIE´S back, and they continue walking.

BRUCE
Do you think that if one of us is adopted, we could be separated?

FREDDIE
But I think that´s never going to happen.

HOWARD enters.

HOWARD
No that sounds impossible.

FREDDIE
Well, you finally appeared old birdy.

HOWARD
I was having a little chess game in my house.

ELTON
We´re going to the market. Do you want to come?

HOWARD
Yes, why not?

They start walking again, and they walk for 10 minutes. But then HOWARD asks…

HOWARD
I am gonna pay for the bill, right?

FREDDIE, ELTON, and BRUCE
Yes.

HOWARD
I knew it.

(End of the scene)

Scene 3

EXT. BROADWAY STREETS. NIGHT

The four friends passed an hour walking through different alleys of the beautiful town of Broadway. They passed between some famous theaters from the city, and we also see posters from “CATS” or “GREASE”. They stop in front arrive at an alley in specific.

FREDDIE
Ok, we´ve arrived.

After that line the series presents us a hole street market covered by bid piece of cloth, but this market it´s full of animals selling things like: Bones for dogs, Thread balls for cats, etc.

FREDDIE
Alright, let´s see what to get here before going to the restaurant.

ELTON
I´ll see some things form the Thread stall.

BRUCE
I´ll try to watch the stall of the trash.

HOWARD
You´re just going to look for food in that garbage can from that part of the market.

BRUCE
Don´t judge me. I don´t have any problem!!!

FREDDIE
As you wish.

(End of the scene)

Scene 4

INT. STREET ANIMAL MARKET. NIGTH

The four animals separate. First ELTON goes to a Thread balls stall, where the seller is a white cat.

ELTON
Tell me what you got now.

CAT SELLER
Ok, look here I have a little ball of 5cm, here is a 10cm…

ELTON
Ahh, I think that I´m looking for something more intensive.

FREDDIE appears.
FREDDIE
Hey. What are you doing?

ELTON
Trying to negotiate with this honorable seller.

FREDDIE
And what do you have now?

ELTON
Well, I really don’t know what to buy.

FREDDIE
I´ll help you, not because I want this stuff. I´ll do because I don´t know what to do.

CAT SELLER
So, are you interested in some decorations for your house?

FREDDIE and ELTON look themselves, after that they look to the thread seller and they answer.

FREDDIE
Talk weird guy.

CAT SELLER
Well, if you really want to know, you must follow me.

The seller reveals a tape of the sewer. He opens it, and…

FREDDIE
Your workshop is in the sewer?

CAT SELLER
Yes.

FREDDIE
Do we have another option?

CAT SELLER
No.

FREDIE
(Sighing)Ahh, I knew it.

BRUCE

HOWARD
I was being sarcastic.

BRUCE
Oh. And what are you doing here?

HOWARD
I was feeling alone since FREDDIE went with ELTON.

BRUCE
Ok. Do you wanna help me with my search for food.

HOWARD
Yeah, I have nothing interesting else to do here.

BRUCE
Ok so, just ok for food in that corner.

HOWARD
Affirmative.

HOWARD flies to the corner, puts his head in the trash.
BRUCE
Have you found something?

WOW! This is awesome.

CAT SELLER
So. What do you want now? I can give you big red thread balls, thread sweaters, or a hole wall made of… (he is interrupted)

ELTON
(He takes a blue thread ball from the floor) I want this little ball from here.

CAT SELLER
Really! I give you a chance to have all the thread you want, and you waste it with just a miserable blue ball.

ELTON
(Silence) Yes, I do.
