Ballerina Cow

And now back to the little
bus that could but wouldn't.
Moo.
Mom and Dad!
You promised you'd watch me do
my dance routine today.
You promised, too, Chicken.
Ah, jeez-louise, not again!
Are you sure you're ready
to perform for us, dear?
You might want to
practice a little more.
Yeah yeah, practice.
Oh, but I've been practicing and
practicing and practicing for years.
If I'm not ready now,
I'll never be ready.
Well, dear, sometimes
never being ready
is the best kind of ready to be.
Dad!
Ohh!
Now, isn't this a little
slice of cow pie?
Settle, settle. There,
there, sweetie.
Ha ha ha!
We'll watch your dance.
I'll get my music.
Oh, everybody, sit down!
"Everybody sit down. Practice,
practice, practice."
Don't take my wrecking
ball, Mr. Repo man.
Oh, please, please,
please, please!
Oh, sorry, Mr. Slacksoff.
Sorry won't cut it, man!
If you take my wrecking ball,
you take my livelihood.
You missed 43 payments.
You haven't paid your
bill in 4 years.
And What's your point?!
Please come back!
Wrecking is my life.
How can I wreck a home
with no wrecking ball?
Aah!
Oh!
Jeez! Face it, Cow, you're
a dancing disatrophe!
Oh, you're right, Chicken.
I'm a failure, and I'm
only 7 years old.
Ohh!
Anybody alive down there?
Oh, sure. We're fine.
We've been meaning to
remodel the place anyway.
I could not help but notice
this fine cow's dancing.
You brought the house down!
Allow me to introduce myself.
Irving J. Slacksoff,
talent scout.
It says here homewrecker.
Homewrecking is my talent.
Mr. Slacksoff?
Yes, Cow?
You're standing on my brother.
Ew! I stepped in chicken!
Have you ever considered
show business?
I can use a talent
as hefty as yours.
Oh, thank you, Mr. Slacksoff!
Oh, thank you, thank
you, thank you!
Well, I can see it now, Cow.
You'll be famous.
People will pay to
see you wreck--
I mean, dance.
I have a probiscus sense
of preboding about this.
Come along, Chicken.
We might miss Cow's
opening number.
Yeah, as if.
Oh, special seats up front
for the proud cow parents.
Ooh!
Moo!
Where's my star?
There you are, my
little cash cow.
It's show time!
Oh, this is my big break,
isn't it, Mr. Slacksoff?
Yes. You're big, and
you'll break everything!
Quiet. Quiet. Shh!
Aah!
Ha ha ha!
Ooh!
Moo.
Psst! Get up, Cow.
We've got a building
to knock down.
All right, you! Keep your mitts
off of my sister's tail!
Ow!
Here. Hold this.
Buh-bye, Chicken.
Don't be a stranger.
Oh! You recovered, my little
dervish of demolition.
Get out there and dance!
And remember, you're
going out there a star,
but you'll come back a nobody!
Moo! Uh!
Moo! Uh!
Yike!
Mama, I think Cow has talent.
Oh! Is there a cure for that?
Grandma, is that you?
Is there a bladder
specialist in the house?
What you doing, Chicken?
I'm bee-flying. What
does it look like?
Oh. Can I fly him?
Only men can fly bees.
Ow!
Here's your dumb bee.
