Whoo!

(Nick and Sally laughing) NICK: Yeah!

Whoo!

SALLY: A tie!

(Laughing) Hey, you have a bowling set?

Yeah, want to play?

Sure!

But, uh... Where?

Ha ha!

Maybe if we put some toys away, we can make room.

♪ Why did you put the car in with the dinosaur?

I don't know!

I usually put the dinosaur in this bin, and put the car in that bin.

Why?

I don't know.

It just seems like the right way to do it.

There are a right away and a wrong way to put things away?

(Rattling) BOTH: Cat!

A right way and a wrong way to sort things?

Well, I don't know about that, but I do love to sort!

Can I help?

Yes, please, Cat!

Are you sure you want Cat to help you sort things?

He doesn't even know where string goes.

Hmm?

Oh, this is to remind me to visit Toborrowland.

Toborrowland?

What's that?

It's where I go to borrow things, and right now, I have a lot of things to return.

Now, there's a place where we can do a lot of sorting!

Maybe we could find out the right way to sort things there!

Now, why didn't I think of that?

(Cat laughing) But let's hurry, shall we?

My things are due back today.

I'll go ask Mom!

Mom!

Can Sally and I go visit Toborrowland, and help the Cat in the Hat return some things he's borrowed?

Sure!

It's always good to return things to their proper places.

Thanks, Mom!

We can go!

We can go!

I know!

I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Buckle up!

(Horn honking) Flick the Jiggermawhizzer.

(Trumpets sounding) Isn't this fun?

♪ Here we go, go, go, go ♪ ♪ On an adventure ♪ ♪ The Thingamajigger is up and away ♪ ♪ Go, go, go, go ♪ ♪ On an adventure ♪ ♪ We're flying with the Cat in the Hat today ♪ ♪ CAT: Here we are!

The Toborrowland borrowing center!

SALLY: So, how does this place work, Cat?

When there's stuff I don't have, it's a problem, indeed.

But a trip to Toborrowland's just what I need.

They have tools, they have toys.

Oh, they lend me a lot.

But I'm careful to always return what I got.

(Crashing) Ha ha!

That is a lot!

Okay, we'll help you carry them.

(Whistle blowing) (Sally gasping) What's happening, Cat?

CAT: Didn't I mention?

It's a travelling borrowing center, and it's on the move!

Wait!

Stop!

There's no one to hear you, Nick.

The borrowing truck drives itself.

Well, how are we supposed to return your stuff?

Not to worry.

We'll catch up at the next stop.

Come on!

Let's grab everything and go!

All right, everyone!

Follow that truck!

(Laughing) ♪ (Grunting) It's locked!

We've got to get all these things on the other side, and fast!

Hmm, what to do?

What to do?

Maybe we can slip everything through that hole in the fence!

Give it a try.

♪ (Clunking) This hole is too narrow for the hockey stick to go through.

I've got an idea.

What if I turn it this way?

But the watering can is too wide to go through either way.

Hmm.

(Sally gasping) Look!

There's a gap that looks bigger.

It might go through there!

Wait, take the other wide things with you.

Okay.

I'll put the rest of the narrow things through here.

Cat, can you take the stew pot?

The stew pot?

Why not?

I hope they'll all fit through.

It fits!

Oh, this too!

This too!

Good work, team!

It worked like a dream.

Now, we just have to get ourselves through.

CAT: All right, Fish!

Time to squish!

Phew!

I made it through!

(Cat groaning) Anyone got any butter?

Oh, boy.

Ah!

And that is that!

(Laughing) FISH: We better hurry.

The truck's getting away!

I know!

Let's go.

Wait, Cat.

There might be an easier way to carry all this stuff.

Really?

What do you have in mind?

Some things can carry other things, like this pot can carry the oven mitts.

And some things can be carried by other things, like this watering can.

Carried by what and why?

Look!

If you put the hockey stick through the handle of the watering can, you can carry it over your shoulder a lot easier!

You're right, it works!

Isn't that dandy?

Using the handle is so very handy!

And the soccer ball can be carried by my hands.

Easy peasy!

Perfect, come on!

I know a shortcut!

Look!

We're catching up to the-- ugh!

(Bleating) That ram looks very cranky.

Oh, no!

How can we get the ball back without upsetting him?

If only there was a way to sneak in without him noticing.

Hmm.

When sneaking is something that needs to be done, we could always rely on Thing 2 and Thing 1!

(Whistling) (Cheering) (Chattering) (Panting) BOTH: Hello!

Things, we need to get that ball back, but there's a cranky critter complication.

Can you help?

(Chattering excitedly) (Ram bleating) BOTH: Uh... You have to do a better job of sneaking.

Too bad they're not invisible.

Then, they could get the ball and the ram would just keep on eating that nice green grass.

Hmm.

I wonder if we could make the Things invisible?

I don't see what you're getting at.

Maybe they could hide behind something that's the same color as the grass!

Then, they'd blend in with the grass, and the ram would never know they were there!

Hmm.

FISH: Don't look at me.

I'm orange, I don't blend in with anything.

(Giggling) Oh, Fish!

They need to hide behind something green.

So, the stew pot is out.

NICK: How about the watering can?

It's green.

And the oven mitts!

Will these do?

BOTH: Uh-huh!

(Chattering) BOTH: Shhh!

I can't watch!

(Chewing grass) (Chattering) THINGS: Yay!

Ha, it worked!

And we really are lucky.

(Laughing) Look!

NICK: It stopped!

Come on!

We made it!

So, we just put them in these bins?

Oh, uh...

I can't remember what goes where.

Can you help me sort them?

Uh, Cat, we came because we don't know the right way to sort.

Wait, Nick!

We've actually been sorting things since we got here.

You're right!

We had to sort wide things and narrow things to get them through the fence.

Then, we sorted things by what had to be carried, and what could go inside something else.

And when the soccer ball was in the field, we had to sort by color to find green things.

You two always discover new ways to amaze.

You just sorted the same things in three different ways!

So, now we just have to figure out how these bins are sorted.

Spoons, a toaster.

Hey, it's all cooking stuff!

A shovel, a rake.

(Gasping) They're gardening things!

Baseball bat, tennis racket.

Got it!

They're all sports things!

These bins are sorted by what you use them for!

You two are so clever!

(Laughing) Sports bin!

Cooking bin!

And the gardening bin.

(All cheering) (Whistle blowing) All right.

The dinosaur goes in the animal bin.

And the truck goes in the wheels bin.

We did it!

We sorted things by wheels, animals and games.

You two are sorting geniuses!

You ever so cleverly got the job done, and discovered there's all sorts of ways to have fun.

(Laughing) All right, now that the floor is clear, you can start bowling.

BOTH: Nah!

We're having way too much fun sorting.

(All laughing) (Nick and Sally laughing) Got ya!

Hey, Sally, let me pop the next one.

Sure!

That is one big bubble.

Then, it'll make a really big pop!

(Laughing) We should thank your mom for getting us this bubble-maker.

Great idea!

But how?

A nice card would be, well, nice!

(Gasping) Or why don't we make a really beautiful bubble, and give it to her so she can keep it forever!

That's perfect.

Okay, Sally, I'll try to catch your next bubble.

(Laughing) Catch it, Nick!

(Laughing) (Popping) Aw, bubbles sure break easily.

Maybe you need something to catch it with?

(Gasping) How about my baseball glove?

Okay!

Here's the pitch!

(Blowing) It's a beauty!

You've got to catch that one, Nick!

(Popping) Or maybe the next one.

Let's try again.

(Blowing) Be really gentle.

(Camera flashing) Cat!

What are you doing?

Trying to get a great action photo.

I got one of Nick chasing a bubble.

Look, isn't that fantastic?

It would have been really fantastic if you'd gotten a picture of Nick catching a bubble.

Catching a bubble?

Why?

We want to give one to my mom so she can keep it forever.

To thank her for getting us the bubble-maker.

But every time Nick tries to catch a bubble, it pops!

Even with his baseball glove.

A baseball glove is made to catch a ball.

Maybe there's something to catch a bubble with!

Is there, Cat?

I don't know about that, but if there is such a thing, I know where to find it!

Odds and Endsville!

If we can get something to catch a bubble with, then let's go!

Your mother will not mind at all if you do!

Mom!

Can we go to Odds and Endsville with the Cat in the Hat to find something to catch a bubble with?

MOTHER: Odds and Endsville?

Oh, nothing about that sounds "odd" to me!

(Laughing) Have fun!

We can go!

We can go!

I know!

I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Buckle up!

(Horn honking) Flick the Jiggermawhizzer.

(Trumpets sounding) Isn't this fun?

SALLY AND NICK: Yahoo!

(Nick and Sally laughing) Whoa!

You were right, Cat.

If there's anything to catch a bubble with, it'll be here.

But where do we start?

Let's try over there.

I'll make a bubble, and you find something that looks like it'll catch it without popping it.

And I'll try to get more action shots.

Let's go!

This is so soft and fluffy.

I bet it won't burst the bubble.

(Blowing) (Camera flashing) (Nick laughing) (Popping) Huh?

I was sure that would work.

If something soft didn't work, maybe something harder will be better.

Now, it's Sally's turn!

Can she do it?

(Blowing) (Camera flashing) (Popping) Oh, no.

Maybe we need to try different-shaped things.

(Gasping) How about something flatter like this dirty skateboard?

(Blowing) (Popping) Are you ever gonna find anything to catch a bubble on?

We can and we will!

Come on, Nick!

Maybe bubbles like to be caught on a clean, flat silver platter.

It's worth a try.

(Blowing) The bubble didn't pop!

Is it magic?

(Popping) Uh, well, it lasted longer before it popped.

It may not be magic, but it's very clean.

And very smooth.

You're right.

That surface is indeed clean and smooth.

Surface?

That's what you call the outside of something, right?

You are so right.

Aren't you a bright one?

So, a clean, smooth surface is better.

Then, maybe a really clean, really, really smooth surface will make a bubble last a really, really, really long time.

In this place, that'll take a really, really, really, really long time to find!

Fish is right.

There are too many surfaces for us to check.

You're a tad overwhelmed.

There's too much to search through.

So, let's ask for some help from Thing 1 and Thing 2.

(Whistling) BOTH: Whoo-hoo!

(Chattering) BOTH: Hello!

(Chattering) (Giggling) (Blowing bubbles) Wow, those Things sure make nice bubbles.

We're looking for a surface that a bubble can land on without popping.

Can you help?

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

(Chattering, indistinct) Whoo-hoo!

(Chattering) (Groaning) Ta-da!

(Chattering) Uh-oh!

Whoo-hoo!

Oh?

Oh, no!

How are you going to keep track of all those bubbles?

Everyone spread out and watch how long the bubbles last on different surfaces.

NICK: That suit of armor looks kind of bumpy, but it's clean.

So, maybe a bubble will land without popping.

(Popping) Nope.

(Gasping) Not a cactus!

It's gonna pop, for sure!

(Popping) Yup.

Sharp, pointy surfaces definitely don't work!

Well, I think we've learned one thing.

Is that so?

What do you know?

Smooth, clean surfaces hold bubbles the longest.

We still haven't found anything that'll catch a bubble forever.

(Gasping) Oh, Nick!

Sally!

You want to look over here?

(Gurgling) What was that?

It's me, Fish!

(Gurgling) (Gasping) Look at that bubble!

It's lasting a long time.

(Popping) BOTH: Aw!

I'm sorry your bubble popped.

It's okay.

We looked everywhere for the best way to catch a bubble, and it was right there all the time!

Fish's water!

Now, we know that smooth, clean surfaces are pretty good, but your water is the best yet!

The water surface is clean and smooth like the platter!

But it's also wet.

And bubbles are kind of wet, too!

That could be why it lasted longer.

So, wetter is better!

(Laughing) (Gasping) Look at that!

This bubble is lasting a really long time.

A bubble landed on the soapy stuff, and it hasn't popped yet.

So, there's one surface that's even better for bubbles than just water.

Soapy water!

(Popping) FISH: Oh, no!

Just when we thought we'd found a way to keep a bubble forever.

I think no matter how much we want to keep a bubble forever, there may not be a way to do it.

(Sighing) Maybe Fish had the best idea after all.

We can make your mom a nice thank-you card.

Sure, let's go home and get out the craft bin.

Well, you tried and you tried, and you just didn't stop.

But the trouble with bubbles is they always pop.

Hmm.

What should we put on the card?

A bubble?

(Cat laughing) Cat, why are you laughing at a time like this?

I'm looking at the action shots I got today.

(Laughing) Oh, what fun!

There you are, Nick, trying to catch a bubble on a pillow!

(Sally laughing) SALLY: And look at me watching the bubble pop on the cactus.

(Laughing) You're right, Cat.

Your pictures are fun!

Even if the bubbles didn't last forever, these pictures will.

(Gasping) That's it!

What's it?

Cat, can I please take a picture with your camera?

I thought you'd never ask!

Wait a second.

How come I'm the only one who doesn't know what's happening?

We're going to make a bubble and take a picture of it!

Then, Sally's mom can keep the picture of the bubble forever!

Of course, I knew it all along.

Now, we have to find a clean, smooth, wet, soapy surface to land a bubble on.

BOTH: The slide!

Okay, I'm going to pour the last of the bubble solution onto the bottom of the slide.

(Blowing) It's perfect!

(Camera flashing) Got it!

Every time Mom sees this picture, she'll remember how much we loved making those bubbles.

Uh, don't look now, but the bubble's still there.

I wonder how long till it pops.

I... think... now!

Ha ha!

No, now!

Ha ha!

Maybe you finally found a bubble that won't... (Popping) ALL: Pop!
