Banjo the Woodpile Cat (film)/Transcript

Act 1: Banjo's Beginning
Chapter 1

(Song "He Couldn't Be Good" plays as the scene cuts to a map of Utah followed by the opening credits. It eventually zooms to a map of Payson, Utah. Finally, it zooms to a small farm with a woodpile as the song and credits. It is nighttime at the farm and the camera zooms to the house)

Banjo(V.O): My story begins one night when I was born. Well, when Me and My two sisters were born.

(In the living room, a family and their cats look at the basket of kittens)

Banjo’s father - ah. Two girls and a boy.

Banjo’s mother - and one of them looks a lot like you.

Banjo's father: Heh, he sure does. Hmm... what names do you suggest?

Banjo’s mother - One will be called Emily, one will be Jean. And He’ll be called...?

Banjo’s Father - Uh... (Sees a banjo in the hall.) Banjo?

Banjo's mother: Banjo? Very cute name.

Man: (To the woman) Well, Mary, I guess we have the luckiest cats in the world.

Mary: Indeed we do, George.

(Mary and George's daughter, Penelope, goes by Banjo's mother and father)

Penelope: They're all adorable! (To her parents) Mama, papa, do we have enough cat food to feed them?

Mary: Of course, Penelope. We just bought enough food.

(Mary, George and Banjo's parents look out the window. The stars are twinkling tonight)
