It's...magic, baby!
Nature Cat: Oooooh!
Can I try?
Hal: Sure!
Just hold up Mr. Chewinsky in front of you and make him block out something you don't want to see!
Nature Cat: Hmm.. (Ronald snoring) Nature Cat: Perfect.
(Ronald snoring) Nature Cat: Goodbyye, Ronald!
Nature Cat: Hello, Ronald...
Nature Cat: Hehehe!
Houston: Everyone!
Today is the day!
Today is the DAY!
Squeeks: Houston?
Is that you?
Did you have some sugar?
Houston: Yes!
It is me!
Daisy: But you're not usually this...excited.
About anything.
Ever.
Nature Cat: Uh, are you okay, Houston?
Houston: Today...right here, in this very place, we will be able to see, A total eclipse ...of the sun!
Squeeks: Oh wow!
I don't know what that is!
Houston: Well ma'am, a total eclipse happens when something is totally blocked out so you can't see it.
Nature Cat: Uh... sure.
We all know that.
Houston: Of course we all know that sir!
So when a total eclipse of the sun happens, it means the sun will be totally blocked out so we can't see it!
Hal: Can't see the sun?!
Squeeks: What's gonna block out the sun?
Hahaha!
Houston: The moon!
Squeeks: Ah yes, yes, the moon, the moon, the moon...yeah.
Houston: The moon always circles the Earth and sometimes it gets in line with the sun and blocks it out!
And it will get dark in the middle of the day!
Daisy: Say Whaaaaaat?
Squeeks: You got us into some trippy stuff man!
I dig it!
Nature Cat: In-credible!
Hal: Dark?
In the middle of the day?
Houston: It doesn't often happen that you are in the right place to see the sun totally blocked out, so my cousins are coming from all over the world to enjoy the eclipse with me!
Raise the roof.
What?
What?
Daisy: Man oh man!
This is gonna be sweeeeet!
