Mickey's Faithful Easter at the House of Mouse/Transcript

(The movie opens in a cemetery during winter as we see Pete walking up to a cross-shaped gravestone that has his grandmother's name on it. As he sadly looks at the grave, we transition to the title card of the movie. Soon, we fade to a bouquet of lilies being held by Lilo. We dolly down the main city street. Vendors on street corners hawk their wares. The tons sing of Spring and Easter.)

Everyone: We sing this tune As flowers bloom And snow melts all away For Spring has sprung And with it comes Another Easter day.

Jasmine: The church bells ring, And birdies sing A great cacophony.

Jiminy Cricket: I celebrate With tea and cake

''That's the English way for me. Aha!''

Pinocchio: I hunt and pick the colored eggs and fill my basket full.

Nani: That's my new hat You give it back Now aren't I beautiful?

(She takes back her hat and puts it on, only to get cracked eggs and egg yolk in her hair. Cut to Lilo and Stitch selling lilies to people.)

Lilo: Thank you, Poilce chief. We sure feel safe with you around!

Stitch: Yeah!

Cinderella: Good morning, Lilo and Stitch.

Stitch: Aloha!

Lilo: Buy a lily for Easter Oh buy one in delight, Just two pennies for a lily, and we'll smell them tomorrow morn. Lily for the Easter! Step right up! Buy a lily!

Stitch: Buy Lilly! Muga, muga!

Lilo: [sees Pete] Tuppeance for a lily, Pete?

Pete: How's that?

Lilo: A lily, Pete. For Easter!

Pete: This for Easter?

Lilo: Yes sir, it a symbol of a new life and-

Pete: But it's real. It wont last.

Lilo: Excuse me sir?

Pete: It'll be gone tomorrow. It's too fragile. (Shakes the flower's petals off.) See? (Takes out a plastic Easter egg.) This is what Easter is about. It's colorful, its pretty, its plastic. Now wouldn't you like this instead of your silly lily?

Lilo: Your grandmother loved flowers. She always bought a lily for Easter.

Lilo: My grandmother made Easter! (Lilo rolls her eyes and walks away and Stitch follows) Well, just a moment young lady, you forgot to pay for that egg.

Lilo: I don't have any money!

Pete: (She throws the egg at Pete) Ouch.

(We see Lilo and Stitch walking until they sees Mertle and her Friends)

Lilo: Hi, guys!

Mertle: Oh, it's Weird-Lo.

Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Hi, Lilo.

Lilo: Huh? Why did you three say hello?

Teresa: What else? It's Easter time!

Elena, Teresa and Yuki: We Love Easter!

Lilo: Me and Stitch too. Are you ready for the Easter show at the House of Mouse tomorrow?

Yuki: Yeah!

Lilo: Where you guys off to?

Elena: We're on our way to the store to buy some Easter bonnets to wear tomorrow.

Mertle: Well i have one already. And it's got a mauve Easter egg on top.

Lilo: Mauve?

Mertle: It's a dark pink color.

Lilo: Oh.

Teresa: So what are you and your dog doing Lilo?

Lilo: We're selling lilies. Want one? Well, i'm selling them for two pennies for people but you guys are my friends so you can take some for free.

Mertle: Oh, please. Those thing are not colorful.

Elena: I think they look nice. Me, Yuki and Teresa will take three.

Lilo: Here you go. I'll see you guys tomorrow at the House of Mouse.

[She and Stitch leave after that.Elsewhere at the airport Timon and Pumbaa are there waiting Timon's Ma and Uncle Max to get off the airplane they flew from Africa. They're visiting for Easter]

Timon: Ma. [hugs her] Uncle Max!

Pumbaa: So nice of you to come stay for Easter.

Timon's Ma: Oh this is so exciting! Timon, i'm so proud. I can't wait to see the Easter show tomorrow.

Uncle Max: Neither can i. But it's not gonna be exciting to relax at a show on Easter instead of digging tunnels.

Timon's Ma: Aw, come Uncle Max. You worry too much. Besides I love Easter! It's is a special Holiday

[Lilo and Stitch arrive]

Lilo: Want a lily? It will be two pennies.

Timon's Ma: Sure. [gives her two pennies and Lilo hands the lily to her] Thanks

Lilo: You're welcome. Happy Easter!

Stitch: Aloha!

[They leave after that]

Timon's Ma: See?

Uncle Max: [sighs]

[Elsewhere at the store Woody walks by to see Mike and Sulley and Pooh and Tigger]

Woody: Good Morning guys.

Mike, Sulley, Pooh and Tigger: Good Morning guys.

Woody: Where are you guys going?

Mike: Sulley and i are taking these Eggs to the House of Mouse for everybody to paint and dye for the egg hunt.

Pooh: Me and Tigger are...uh,? What are we doing?

Tigger: We're taking special grass to weave Easter basket with and barrels of lemonade to drink.

Woody: Wonderful! I'll see you both at the House of Mouse.

[Mike and Sulley and Pooh and Tigger leave Meanwhile at the House of Mouse, Mickey his nephew Ferdie, Minnie, Daisy and Pluto are setting the House up for tomorrow.]

All: We sing this tune as rainbows bloom on eggs red, green and blue.

Daisy: Like colors in the windows when the sun comes shining through.

Minnie: ''The tv here is mighty here. A precious work of science,'' But patience, Daisy will see this glass tomorrow when Easter starts.

Mickey and Ferdie: ''The hope of Easter's coming to shine forth in the morn. It is coming now to bring us the gift of life reborn!''

Ferdie: (coughs) Hey Uncle Mickey, isn't that Old Man Pete?

Mickey: Ferdie! His name is just Pete. Could you hand me an O?

Ferdie: Sure. Is he really the richest man in town?

Mickey: Oh ha ha. I don't know about that but his family has owned most of the property around this House has for generations. How about a couple of R's now? Even the land this whole house sits on.

Ferdie: Here you go. Why don't we ever seen him in the audience?

Mickey: I don't really know. I heard. his grandmother used to come when she was little and she would bring him too when he was young. I need an O now and W if you can find it.

Ferdie: (coughs) So why doesn't he come anymore? How about an upside-down M? Maybe he just doesn't like Easter.

Mickey: Oh, sure he does. Why he makes all of the Easter Eggs at his factory!

Ferdie: Yeah, but why doesn't he celebrate Easter with the rest of us. Doesn't he like the House of Mouse? Is he just plain mean?

Mickey: Now, Ferdie, he's never done any harm to us. Perhaps one day, he'll come to one of our shows. [gets an idea] Tell you what, Me and Pluto will go see him later and invite him ourselves to see the unveiling of the new House of Mouse Tv screen tomorrow. In the meantime, you be respectful.

Daisy: Hey, isn't that Old Man Pete?

(Mickey rolls his eyes. Meanwhile at the Factory, mechanical chickens are laying plastic eggs for the factory. The eggs are loaded onto a cart. The cart is grabbed by a claw which then puts the eggs in a bowl. Then the eggs make their way through a pipe that leads them to a plunger that pushes them into a giant metal egg. Then the cart is put back on the rails. As it goes down the ramp, we see Donald and Goofy who are working there talking to each other.)

Goofy: You ask him.

Donald: Uh no, you ask him.

Goofy: I'm not gonna ask him.

Donald: But he was in your movies.

Goofy: That doesn't mean he likes me!

Donals: Look, Goofy, we've been working for your uncle for more than a year now to help him prepare for somthing he's doing tomorrow for Easter. Right?

Goofy: Right.

Donald: And has he given us a single day off?

Goofy: No.

Donald: And it was your idea to take Easter Sunday off right?

Goofy: Right.

Donald: So we can do our jobs at the House of Mouse and see the new tv screen?

Goofy: Right!

Donald: So you should ask him.

Goofy: But..

(Before Goofy can speak, the front doors open. PETE walks into the factory.)

Donald: (clears throat)

Goofy and Donald: Morning, Mr. Pete, sir.

Pete: Goofy. Donald.

(As Pete walks toward his office, Donals gives Goofy a little push, telling him to talk to his Pete.)

Goofy: Tomorrow's the big day huh, Pete?

Pete: Not as big as it'd be if folks didn't spend the day in night clubs instead of out buying more of my eggs.

Goofy: Right. Well, see ya.

(Goofy bumps into Donald)

Donald: What was that supposed to be?

Goofy: I don't know. I panicked!

Donald: Oh, let me handle this. Would you like the morning report, sir?

Pete: Oh, let me guess.

Donald: Egg production is up.

Pete: I said I wanted to guess.

Donals: And I'd say we have eggs a-plenty.

Pete: That depends on how you look at things. Is the egg tank half-full or half-empty?

Donald: The workers are happy, though a little bit tired.

(One mechanical chicken overheats.)

Pete: Ah. The satisfying fatigue of productivity.

Donald: And there will be a beautiful show at the House of Mouse tomorrow.

Pete: You think so, wouldn't ya?

Donald: All-in-all it should be a...glorious Easter. So um, Pete?

Pete: Don't you have chickens to tend?

Donald: May I ask you a question?

Pete: Mmmm no. (He goes into his office as Donals and Goofy follow.)

Donals: Umm...Pete. What I wanted to ask you was...Well...Everything is going so well...so couldn't we...umm...close up shop...Just for Easter?

Pete: What?! Close up shop? Do you know what that would mean?

Donald: Umm...

Pete: You know when my Grandmother started this factory?

Donald: Oh no, here comes the speech again. 113 years ago. Yeah, I know, sir.

Pete: 114! She was making Easter before you were born!

(Pete opens a photo album as a song starts.)

Pete: 113 Years ago, with one chicken and a coop,

my grandma started dyeing eggs for the local girl scout troop.

She started making money, and as the business grew,

she got more hens and colors and she knew just what to do.

She built herself a factory to do what she loved best

She kept on dyeing Easter eggs, but then you know the rest...

Donald: Yes sir, she...

Pete: ...''I suppose it was bound to happen, her age she could not hide, More than 100 years of living, and then one day she died. But before she drifted off that day, she whispered in my ear, those words I never shall forget, I still hear them loud and clear...''She said, "Petey..." She always used to call me Petey. "Petey..I've taught you the family business, and with my dying breath. I say you tell every single person, Easter means no death." Now at first, this all confused me, 'til I realized ''That as long as I make Easter eggs, It's like she's still alive. (the egg-shaped music box plays a tune) She built herself a factory to do what she loved best. And I'll keep making Easter eggs, my one and only quest.'' Tomorrow the world will see how I'm gonna make Easter even bigger and better! And Grandma will live forever, just like she wanted! So you see, we can't just stop the factory. That would let Grandma down.

Cavis: But Petey, er...I mean Pete, sir, I...ah...

(There is a knock at the door. The door opens to reveal Mickey and Pluto.)

Mickey: Hello there! Mind if we come in?

Pete: That'll be all! Now get back to work.

Mickey: But I don't work here.

Pete: Well, I'm not hiring either.

Mickey: Oh, no. That's not why we're here. We came to...

Pete: Oh, it's you Mickey Mouse?

Mickey: Why, yes, it is. Yours truly.

Pete: So, why are you here?

Mickey: Well sir, I know your Grandmother used to bring you to the House of Mouse. She loved Easter so much.

Pete: Yes

Mickey: Then you'll come?

Pete: No.

Mickey: But you said...

Pete: I said, "Yes, my Grandmother loved Easter." What's not to love with the eggs and candy...?

Mickey: Oh, but Pete, we miss you at the Easter show.

Pete: If you ask me, you've got enough people locked up already! Sittin' in those chairs when they should be out buyin' more eggs!

Mickey: I'm sorry?

Pete: Look-I know my Grandma liked that old church, but I have no idea why. I need to make Easter bigger to keep her alive, and that church is just in the way!

Mickey: What?!

Pete: And that's why I'm working on this.

(Pete brings in a model of the the House of Mouse with little figures of Mickey, Donald, Goofy and other people.)

Everyone: OOooooooooo.

Goofy: Is that one supposed to be me? 'Cause I'm not that fat.

(Pete gives Goofy a dirty look)

Millward: Sorry.

Pete: ''Tomorrow is my Grandma's birthday, and she has given me a job to do. So I've been savin' all my money to make her Easter dream come true''. (He shows everyone a promotional image for...) Easter World! Where Easter is forever! Ha! Don't you just love it?

Mickey: Easter World? What's that supposed to be? Is it like some kind of an amusement park or something?

Pete: Why Actually, Yes it is!

Goofy: Oooh! I love amusement parks!

(Pete shows more promotional images reading "Why wait till Spring? We got Easter!", "Egg-O-Rama Daily Hunts," and All you can eat Bunny Buffet.")

Pete: ''Well, you're really gonna love this one. I'll make Easter last all year long! We'll have Easter Egg Hunts every day to please the massive throng!''

Goofy: Throng?

Mickey: It means "lots of people."

Pete: ''Everyone will buy my eggs, And I'll give them more to munch. They'll buy my yummy chocolate bunnies for Snack time, dessert, midnight snack!'' Grandma will be proud of me for keeping her alive and dear. Church was her most favorite place, so Easter world will be right here!

(Pete puts a model of Easter World on top of the House of Mouse. Then Mickey faints)

Pete: ''She built herself a factory to do what she loved best. And so I'm building Easter World. My one and only quest!''

Donald: But that's not what she meant! You can't do that!

Pete: Of course, I'll have to build a chocolate bunny factory, too.

Goofy: You can't tear down the House of Mouse!

Pete: Don't be silly. That land has been in my family for generations. And i own the building.

Mickey: If you just came to the show, you'd realize that....

Donald: You gotta talk to him!

Goofy: Ahem-Uh, Pete Easter is a time when-

Pete: -When I am interrupted, by people buggin' me To come to the house, and buy lilles, and shut my factory! ''But early tomorrow morning a crew will start at eight, On knocking down that little house and building something great. And folks will come from miles around on trains, on bikes, on legs... And Grandma will live forever! Just like my little plastic eggs!''

(Pete pushes a button that makes the chickens work faster.)

Goofy: Come on!

Donald: Don't do it!

Goofy: Pete, you can't do that!

Mickey: We can't let you tear the church down! Have you lost your mind?!

Donald: It's a really bad idea!!!

Pluto: [growls angrily]

Pete: I don't care about your show or your tv's or your audience. I'm gonna build the world a place where Easter is a blast!

Donald: We won't let you do this!

Petw: Begone from me, naysayers! If you won't help me with my deed, get out of here and don't come back! I'll go unaccompanied!

(Hands Donald and Goofy pink slips.)

Donald: We're fired?!

Pete: Effective immediately! ''At 8:00am the house comes down! I'll show you without guilt! The world would be a better place if that house was never built!''

(The gates to the factory shut. Fade to Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Pluto are back at the House of Mouse having told Ferdie, Minnie and Daisy about what Pete is gonna do.)

Minnie: I can't believe it!

Ferdie: Old Man Pete. He cancelled Easter.

Mickey: That's Pete! And he hasn't done anything. Yet.

Donald: I knew it! I knew this was one of Pete's plots to destroy the club!

Ferdie: What are we gonna do?

Daisy: Ferdie's right Mickey we can't just let Pete tear down the house.

[Mickey thinks for a moment]

Mickey: Well, there is one think we can do. We just need to have hope. [He puts Ferdie on his shoulder] But we'll have to let the town know.

[We fade to the daily Disney the newspaper place as Donald and Goofy parted their ways with Mickey and Ferdie but Donald had a weird glint in his eye, like he was going to go something horrible, as if he was going to rob a bank... or worse.]

Mickey: I’ll be back soon, Ferdie.

[He goes inside to let them know about the House of Mouse and after a few minutes he come back out and he and Ferdie leave Then we fade to Lilo reading the newspaper outside of her hula school finding out what's gonna happen to the House of Mouse]

Lilo: [gasps]

[Mertle and her friends arrive]

Mertle: Hey, Weird-Lo.

Teresa: Why do you look so worried.

Lilo: I have tell you something. Something awful. You know Pete the big rich cat?

Mertle: Yeah?

Lilo: He’s going to tear down the House of Mouse tomorrow!

[Mertle and her friends eyes widen]

Elena: Tear down the House of Mouse?!

Stitch: Yeah!

Yuki: But... why would he do that? Doesn’t he realize that if the House of Mouse goes, so does our hula school?!

Lilo: Yeah, i know. The House of Mouse sponsors our hula school.

Mertle: Where will we go to learn hula?

Teresa: What will become of us?

Lilo: I don't know.

[She, Stitch and the Hula girls look very sad Then we fade to a lot of other Disney and Pixar characters reading about the House of Mouse and they are all worried. Even Timon, Pumbaa, Timon's Ma and Uncle Max]

Uncle Max: Well i think we all know what's gonna happen to us now.

Timon's Ma: Uncle Max! Don't start!

Uncle Max: Now we don't get to watch cartoon again.

Timon: He has a point.

[We cut to night as Daisy is locking up the front doors to the House of Mouse. She looks up at the building and gets a little misty. when she sees Lilo and Stitch)

Daisy: Ah. You're up awfully late, Lilo and Stitch.

Lilo: Yes, Daisy. But is it true what they're saying about the House of Mouse?

Moyer: Yes, Lilo. It's true.

Lilo: But what's going to happen? What about the my hula school? What will become of us?

Daisy: (sighs) Let me see your school, Lilo.

Lilo: Well alright. Nani is suppose to be picking me up there.

(Daisy follows Lilo and Stitch to the hula school. Meanwhile, Mickey is is putting Ferdie to bed)

Mickey: Amen.

Ferdie: (coughs) Amen.

Mickey: Now, you get to sleep. It's late and we've all got a big day tomorrow.

Ferdie: Uncle Mickey?

Mickey: Yes?

Ferdie: I'm still really worried about Old Man- I mean Pete tearing down the House of Mouse. What do we do?

Mickey: Now Ferdie, as crazy as it sounds, you have to have Faith.

Ferdie: Faith? Faith for what?

Mickey: Faith that no matter what happens, God is taking care of us.

Ferdie: I guess so but...

Mickey: Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Good night, Ferdie. I love you.

Ferdie: I love you too, Uncle Mickey.

(Outside Ferdie's bedroom, Mickey feels a bit worried about Ferdie. Minnie feels the same. Meanwhile, Lilo and Stitch is taking Daisy to the hula school Then Nani arrives to pick Lilo and Stitch.)

Lilo: We'd better go. We need to let Bani know about the House of Mouse.

[They jump into Nani's budgy and they ride off as we fade back to Pete's factory]
