Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat (season 2)/Episode 27a: Dongwa's Big Brother

Transcript
(Title and episode production credits appears. We pan over from the mountains to the Magistrate's palace, and zoom over to Dongwa doing tai chi)

Dongwa: I've always admired my older brother Peng. He inspired me to do tai chi.

(Transition wipe to the Foolish Magistrate's throne room. The Magistrate, Tai-Tai, The Three Daughters, The Cook, and the Reader of the Rules are there)

The Foolish Magistrate: I have a great announcement to make!

The Reader of the Rules: Oh no...

The Foolish Magistrate: My younger brother, Yao Fun, is coming to visit!

(Everyone cheers except the Reader)

Ba-Do: You mean we'll get to see Uncle Yao after so many years?

The Foolish Magistrate: Yes, my perfect plum!

(Baba Miao walks into the throne room)

Baba Miao: So, he'll be coming back? I bet Peng will be coming too.

The Foolish Magistrate: He'll be here tonight, so look your best!

(Transition wipe to Baba Miao and Mama Miao talking to Sagwa, Sheegwa, Cha-Siu, Nai-Nai, and Yeh-Yeh)

Baba Miao: Children, the Magistrate's younger brother Yao is coming to visit!

Sagwa: So we'll get to see Cousin Peng?

Cha-Siu: I hope! I can't wait to see him again. Last saw him while visiting Yao's workplace in Ningxia.

Baba Miao: Yes children.

Yeh-Yeh: I hope to see that Cousin Peng has grown!

Baba Miao: I would not be surprised if Dongwa still remembered Peng.

Sagwa: Speaking of which, where is Dongwa?

Baba Miao: Let him be. We will let Peng be a surpise for him. Dongwa probably fell asleep somewhere anyway.

(Sagwa runs outside, running up to Paulo and Pablo's clubhouse. Fu-Fu is waiting there).

Fu-Fu: Sagwa! How's it going my friend?

Sagwa: Great! The Magistrate's younger brother is coming.

Fu-Fu: Wow! I didn't know he had a brother.

(Transition wipe to Sheegwa having fun. She finds Dongwa asleep under a tree and runs to pounce on him.

Sheegwa: Heeeeeeeeeeey! Dongwa!

(Sheegwa jumps on Dongwa and wakes him up)

Dongwa: *getting up* Sheegwa get off!

(Sheegwa slides off Dongwa's back. Transition wipe to the Magistrate and Yao at the gates of the palace)

The Foolish Magistrate: Brother! How are you brother?

Uncle Yao: I am great, thank you. How about yourself?

The Foolish Magistrate: Even better now that you are here. But might I asked what happened to you?

Uncle Yao: I gave up the life of the palace to become a worker at a farm in Ningxia. It feels so good to earn a living. Not that I look at you any different, my brother. I just wanted to do things differently. My cat, Peng and I have been through a lot together over the last few years.

(Peng, a Siamese cat, runs up to Yao and walks around him)

(Transition wipe to Peng roaming around the palace grounds. He notices Dongwa doing his style of tai-chi and walks up next to him)

Peng: Hey! Dongwa!

Dongwa: Yes?

Peng: Guess who it is?

Dongwa: Pablo's biological brother?

Peng: No, kid! It's me, Peng!

Dongwa: Peng? PENG! *happily screams*

(Dongwa perks up and hugs Peng)

Dongwa: It's you! You're back after so long! And you're here! In front of me! I'm so overcome with all sorts of joy!

Peng: I can't believe you remember me, kid! You were like, around Sheegwa's age when I left.

(Dongwa gets off Peng)

Dongwa: I never forgot you! You're the reason why I do Tai Chi! I wanted to do something to help to never forget you!

Peng: So, I'm special?

Dongwa: Yes! Remember the time you saved me from Lik-Lik's dad and Hun-Hun's dad?

Peng: Yes. I remember it now.

(Flashback to a young Dongwa, who is all white, following a younger, fatter Yao, who is holding a pet carrier. As Yao puts down the carrier, Dongwa looks into the door)

Dongwa: Hello! Is anyone in there?

Peng: Hey kid! How ya doing?

Dongwa: Whoah! I am doing okay.

Peng: Good, cause when I get out of this stupid carrier you are going down!

(Dongwa backs away slowly and runs behind Mama Miao walking by)

Dongwa: Mama, don't let him hurt me!

Mama Miao: Who?

Dongwa: The mean box!

(Mama walks over to the carrier and looks inside. She then turns around and walks back to her son)

Mama Miao: Dongwa, the only reason why you should be scared of that carrier is the older kitten in there might want to tag you and make you it!

Dongwa: What are you talking about?

Mama Miao: Oops! I haven't taught you how to play tag yet!

(Pan over to the pet carrier, and we see a younger Peng)

Peng: Hey kid! I was just teasing you ya know! You should really learn how to take a joke.

(Transition wipe to younger Dongwa sulking in the alley-way. A younger Baba Lik-Lik and Baba Hun-Hun walk up)

Baba Lik-Lik: Hey look! The wittle palace baby is sad!

(Baba Lik-Lik and Baba Hun-Hun laugh)

Baba Hun-Hun: Poor wittle kitty wanna take a nappy bye?

(Peng runs up)

Peng: Hey, pea brains! Get out of the palace alley, you scum!

Baba Lik-Lik: Uh-oh... We can't have our reputations damaged. We should never have come here anyway. Word of this gets around and we are ruined!

Baba Hun-Hun: Run Qing Gang!

(The two scurry over the palace wall)

Dongwa: Um... hi.

Peng: Name's Peng. 'Nevuh seen this before?

(Peng stands on his hind legs)

Dongwa: Wow!

Peng: It's Tai Chi.

Dongwa: I've seen the Cook do that in the morning sometimes.

Peng: Come on, I'll teach ya, but only after we become brothers.

Dongwa: But how do you do it?

Peng: Hold my paw and shake.

(Peng and Dongwa shake paws)

Peng: See ya tomorrow!

(Peng runs off)

(Dongwa walks through the alley. A sneeze is heard and he spots a younger Hun-Hun)

Dongwa: Who are you?

Hun-Hun: I'm Hun-Hun, and I was just wondering if you would like to be friends with me too.

Dongwa: Okay then!

(Hun-Hun and Dongwa shake hands)

Hun-Hun: Bye!

(Transition wipe to a montage of Dongwa, Peng, and Hun-Hun having fun over the 5-month stay. Then cut to Uncle Yao talking with the Magistrate)

Uncle Yao: Thank you my brother, for your hospitality over the last five months. However I cannot stay here any longer. I am heading back out in two days.

The Foolish Magistrate: You are always welcome here, dear brother! But I cannot make you stay! Good travels to you and Peng!

(Transition wipe to Dongwa and Peng saying their goodbyes as Peng leaves in his pet carrier with Yao)

Dongwa: Bye Peng!

Peng: Remember, don't give up, don't break the rules that apply to you, and never back down from a fight!

Dongwa: But what about right now? I can't not cry right now!

Peng: Me neither, kid! Just this once!

(End of flashback, cut to a near-teary eyed Peng and Dongwa)

Peng: We were kinda dumb as kittens.

(Hun-Hun and Ling run up)

Ling: Wow, what a smart-looking kitten.

Peng: Name's Peng.

Hun-Hun: Hey don't I know you from somewhere?

Peng: Yep.

Dongwa: You remember Peng?

Hun-Hun: Yes! And I'm happy that he's back.

Dongwa: Hey, how 'bout we bring back the old gang?

Peng: Yes!

Hun-Hun: Yeah!

Dongwa: Great!
