Nature Cat
Houston to the Rescue!
Clip | 3m 9sVideo has Closed Captions
Houston helps the gang communicate with George the firefly.
The gang can't figure out why George the firefly doesn't want to fly away and hangs around Hal. George seems to have something on his mind. Since they don't know how to communicate with a firefly, they call in Houston. With the help of his light communicator, they find out that George is lost and needs help finding his way to the Firefly Fiesta!

George, what is it, my friend?
Hmm...
I get the distinct feeling he's trying to tell us something.
Yeah, looks like the firefly's got something on his mind.
What's he got on his mind?!
I wish there was some way to translate what he's trying to say!
Excuse me.
I believe I can be of some assistance, ma'am.
ALL: Houston!
Nature Cat, Daisy, Squeeks, Hal.
It is an honor and a privilege to once again be in your presence.
Houston, we have a problem.
Understood, sir.
Precisely why I'm here.
You want to know what the firefly is trying to say, correct?
Yes, sir!
I have no idea!
What in the woods is that?
This is my newly-minted light translator.
It has the capability to translate flashes of light into words.
ALL: Ooooh!
Houston, again, you've blown my mind.
Affirmative, Squeeks.
Shall we begin?
Go for it, Houston, old pal!
Does the firefly have a name, sir?
I call him George.
And I like to watch him light up and hug him and stuff, it's great.
Roger, that.
TRANSLATOR: Hello, George.
GEORGE: Hello.
It's working!
It's really working!
Need help, George?
Yes!
Lots of help!
Oh!
George needs help, he really needs help!
We gotta help him!
How do we help him!?
What is the problem, George?
I am lost.
ALL: Ohhh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
George is lost, he's really lost!
We gotta help him get unlost!
How do we help him get unlost?
Is "unlost" even a word?
I don't know.
Who's asking?
Me, Hal!
I don't know!
Take it easy, Hal.
Relax, it's all going to be okay.
Houston, could you please find out where he wants to go?
Copy that, sir.
Where do you need to go, George?
Firefly Fiesta.
Firefly Fiesta?
What's that?
That sounds fun.
Hmm, let's see.
Firefly Restaurant... Firefly Inn... Firefly, that TV show that should have gone for more than one season.
Firefly Fiesta!
Oh!
Sweet!
It's a place where lots and lots of fireflies gather to find a mate.
When they are all together flashing, it says it can be quite the light show!
Oooh!
And it's not too far away.
It's only in Feiffer Forest.
The Firefly Festival in Feiffer Forest!
Fantastic!
Try saying that five times fast.
Heh-heh.
I know where that it is!
Houston, please tell George we'll take him there.
Follow us, George!
Okay.
Lead the way, my friends.
Oh, and tell him I love him.
I love you.
From Hal.
I love you too, Hal!
I love you too, George!
And your silly little voice!
