Tom says, HI, I’M TOM GATES,
AND THIS IS MY BEST FRIEND DEREK.
[Drum rimshot]
A boy with short hair slides on his knees, then stands beside Tom.
Derek says, HELLO!
Derek and Tom high five.
[Hands slap]
Tom says, WE GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL
BUT WE RE NOT IN THE SAME CLASS.
[Children shout]
A red arrow points to a purple school with large yellow doors.
[Guitar music plays]
Tom says, BUT THAT S OK,
BECAUSE DEREK PLAYS
KEYBOARD IN MY BAND:
DOG ZOMBIES!
Text reads “Dog Zombies.”
[Dog howl]
Tom smiles as he plays a guitar. Derek plays a keyboard. He and Tom wear sunglasses as they play.
A fence stretches between two two-story houses.
Tom says, WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE,
I MEAN LITERALLY.
LOOK...
Tom and Derek stand by windows and wave to each other.
[Pop]
Tom says, WE LIKE TO PLAY GAMES AND TRY
TO MAKE EACH OTHER LAUGH.
MOSTLY WHEN WE SHOULD BE IN BED.
[Upbeat music plays]
Tom says, THERE’S DEREK NOW.
Derek smiles as he pretends to walk down stairs.
[Chuckle]
Tom says, SEE WHAT I MEAN?
YEAH, HE S REALLY GOOD AT THAT
WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS THING.
Derek knocks over a lamps and catches it. He smiles.
Tom says, AND WE HAVE A GREAT DOODLE GAME.
LET’S PLAY IT!
Text reads “Play-it!”
Tom holds a piece of paper and a pencil as he stands by the window.
He says, OK.
DEREK TRIES TO GUESS
WHAT I’M DRAWING
BEFORE I VE FINISHED.
SEE IF YOU CAN GUESS
WHAT IT IS TOO.
[Funky music plays]
[Pencil scribbles]
Tom draws a circle and adds a frowning face. He draws freckles on each side
of the nose.
Tom asks, HAVE YOU GUESSED WHO IT IS YET?
HERE’S A CLUE: HE’S IN MY CLASS
AND HE’S PRETTY GRUMPY.
Derek says, I KNOW WHO THIS IS, UM,
IT'S MARCUS MELDREW!
Tom says, MARCUS MELDREW,
THAT'S RIGHT!
[Chime]
Tom says, THAT WAS A BIT EASY
WITH THE GRUMPY FACE.
LET'S DO ANOTHER ONE.
[Funky music plays]
[Pencil scribbles]
Tom says, YOU'LL NEVER GET THIS.
NEITHER WILL DEREK.
Derek mumbles, UM, ER, THAT UM...
[Pencil scribbles]
Steam rises from a rectangle on a fork.
[Chime]
Tom says, YEP. IT’S A CHIP ON A FORK.
Derek says, IT’S A CHIP ON A FORK!
IT'S A CHIP ON A FORK!
Tom puts his hand beside his ear and leans towards the shut window.
Tom says, I THINK HE SAID CHIP
ON A FORK, IT S HARD TO TELL.
WE CAN'T REALLY HEAR EACH OTHER.
SEE YOU TOMORROW!
Tom waves.
Derek replies, I VE GOT BLUE SOCKS ON!
Derek walks away from the window. Tom shrugs.
[Crickets chirp]
Tom says, NOPE. NO IDEA.
Tom jumps into bed.
He says, TIME FOR BED.
[Bed squeaks, Tom yawns, snoring]
[Funky music plays]
A cat walks between the two houses.
[Snoring]
The cat meows. It jumps up on the fence and clears its throat.
[Cat wails]
[Violin plays]
Tom says, OH NO.
The cat uses its tail as a microphone as it sings.
[Cat wails]
[Violin plays]
The hands on a clock spin quickly.
[Funky music, ringing bell]
[Children cheer]
Tom rests his head on his hand. He looks sleepy.
Mr. Fullerman says, MORNING CLASS.
IF YOU TURN YOUR TEXTBOOKS
TO PAGE ONE OR TWO…
[Tom yawns, snoring]
Tom says, NORMALLY, MR FULLERMAN
HAS TO BE TALKING
A BIT LONGER THAN THIS
TO SEND ME TO SLEEP,
BUT I M JUST SO TIRED TODAY.
THANKS TO THAT
PESKY SINGING CAT.
[Cat wails]
A girl with long hair parted in pigtails sits beside Tom. She notices as he
drools in his sleep.
Amy says, URRR.
PSST - WAKE UP TOM.
PSST - TOM. WAKE UP!
Marcus sits on Tom’s left. He notices a puddle of drool beneath Tom’s face. Marcus raises his hand.
[Whoosh]
Marcus says, SIR! SIR!
TOM’S ASLEEP AND DRIBBLING.
[Keyboard notes play]
A bug holds an arrow sign pointing at the drool.
The bug giggles, HEHE.
Tom says, AWW, SO EMBARRASSING.
AMY SEEN ME DROOLING.
Tom rubs the puddle of drool with his elbow.
[Squeaking]
He says, THIS COULD EASILY MAKE ITS WAY
INTO MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENTS.
The number five appears.
Tom says, HERE'S THE CURRENT TOP FIVE:
AT NUMBER FIVE,
SMILING AT AMY
WITH FOOD IN MY TEETH.
[Slide whistle]
The number four appears.
Tom says, AT FOUR,
DOING AN IMPRESSION
OF MR FULLERMAN...
AND BEING CAUGHT
BY MR FULLERMAN!
IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD
IMPRESSION... UNFORTUNATELY.
Mr. Fullerman looks angry.
[Slide whistle]
The number three appears.
Tom says, AT THREE,
THAT TIME I HAD INK BLOBS
ON MY FACE ALL DAY
AND NOBODY TOLD ME!
I SHOULD HAVE REALISED.
Fingers point at Tom.
[Plop]
The number two appears.
Tom’s mother holds a backpack and waves.
Tom says, AT NUMBER TWO,
THAT TIME MY MUM
BROUGHT MY P.E. KIT IN,
AND IT WAS ANNOUNCED
TO THE ENTIRE SCHOOL
BY MRS. MUMBLE!
[Static]
Mrs. Mumble says, WILL TOM GATES
COME TO THE OFFICE?
HIS MUM IS HERE
WITH HIS SHORTS FOR P.E.
[Slide whistle]
Tom says, AND AT NUMBER ONE,
ACCIDENTALLY CALLING
MRS WORTHINGTON "MUM"
IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS!
In a flashback, Tom blushes.
Tom says, MUM…I MEAN MRS WORTHINGTON!
THANKS TO THAT PESKY CAT,
I M PRETTY SURE
FALLING ASLEEP IN CLASS
WILL BE GOING STRAIGHT IN
AT THE TOP.
Mr. Fullerman says, NOW CLASS,

[Funky music plays]
Tom says, YOU WILL NEED...
SOME AIR DRYING CLAY,
SOME TOOTHPICKS,
[Pop, pop, pop]
Animated arrows point at three toothpicks and grey clay.
A doodle says, BE CAREFUL
WITH TOOTHPICKS!
Text on a sign reads “Be careful with toothpicks!”
A pen appears.
Tom says, AND A PEN.
A bug asks, AND A GLUE STICK?
Tom says, SORRY. MAYBE NEXT TIME.
The bug says, ALRIGHT...
[Squeaking as the bug drags the glue stick]
Tom says, THERE WE GO.
THAT S EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
A green monster holds a timer.
[tick, tick]
Tom asks, GOT ALL OF THAT YET?
[Bell rings]
Tom says, GREAT. TAKE YOUR CLAY,
CUT IT IN HALF.
[Whoosh]
Tom says, TAKE A SMALL PIECE OFF ONE SIDE
AND SAVE IT FOR LATER.
USE YOUR HANDS TO ROLL
EACH SIDE INTO A BALL.

The tail attaches to the body.

Voices sing, WELCOME TO MY

IF IT'S WARM
I LIKE A PLACE WITH FOOD.
YOU WON'T HEAR ME
TAKING A STROLL,
STRAIGHT THROUGH THE FLOWERS
JUMP ON A WALL.

HEY I DON'T CARE.
I'M AWAKE IN THE DARK
AND ASLEEP IN THE DAY.

WITH ANY CAT,
WHO STRAYS AT NIGHT,
AND GIVES IT ALL THAT.
AND IF I'M HUNGRY,
HAVE YOU HEARD?
A CAT LIKE ME,
WOULD EAT A BIRD
[Bird tweets]
Tom sings, OR MAYBE I MIGHT
EAT SOME MEAT,

AND TWO FOR YOU
Text reads “One for me, two for you. Hey.”
Tom says, HEY! I'M A CAT.

Tom sings, HEY! I'LL BE
YOUR BEST FRIEND.
I'M A CAT, KITTY CAT
IF THERE'S FOOD IN THE POT,
ONCE IT'S GONE
I'LL BE OFF LIKE A SHOT.
[Gun ricochet sound]
Tom sings, AND IF I GO MISSING,
JUST DO ME A BIG FAVOUR.
DON'T MAKE A BIG SCENE,

LIKE THAT.
Liz creates small shadows beneath the paws of the dog and cat.
[Funky music plays, marker scratches]
She says, AND THEN I'M GOING TO DRAW
SOME MOVEMENT LINES.
Tom says, GREAT STUFF.
Liz says, SO IT LOOKS A BIT LIKE
ROOSTER'S REALLY CHASING
THE CAT THERE.
[Pencil scratches]
Liz says, YEAH, I THINK
THAT'S FINISHED NOW.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.
THERE'S ROOSTER AND THE CAT.
Rooster chases the cat.
[Dog barks, cat meows]
Voices sing, WELCOME TO MY
BRILLIANT SHOW!
Text reads “The Brilliant World of Tom Gates.”
Tom says, THAT PESKY CAT
IS BACK AGAIN.
The cat taunts Rooster from the top of the fence.
[Cat meowing]
Tom says, I THINK IT'S TIME FOR SING-IT.
Text reads “Sing-it.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Tom sings, I'M AS QUIET AS A MOUSE.
I MAKE MY HOME IN
SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE.
I'M NOT FUSSY
ANY PLACE WILL DO.
IF IT'S WARM
I LIKE A PLACE WITH FOOD.
YOU WON'T HEAR ME
TAKING A STROLL,
STRAIGHT THROUGH THE FLOWERS
JUMP ON A WALL.
OVER THE GRASS,
HEY I DON'T CARE.
I'M AWAKE IN THE DARK
AND ASLEEP IN THE DAY.
WHERE I LEAVE MY FUR,
I'LL MAKE A HOME THERE.
CAUSE HEY! I'M A CAT.
I'M A CAT, KITTY CAT
I HAVE FUR, I LIKE MILK
AND I LIKE TO PURR.
HEY! DON'T MESS WITH ME.
I'M A CAT, KITTY CAT.
I'M ON THE PROWL,
I'LL SIT OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE
AND I'LL YOWL.
I CAN PICK A FIGHT,
WITH ANY CAT,
WHO STRAYS AT NIGHT,
AND GIVES IT ALL THAT.
AND IF I'M HUNGRY,
HAVE YOU HEARD?
A CAT LIKE ME,
WOULD EAT A BIRD
[Bird tweets]
Tom sings, OR MAYBE I MIGHT
EAT SOME MEAT,
I LIKE A TASTY LITTLE TREAT.
A RAT IS NICE,
I LIKE MICE TOO.
IT'S ONE FOR ME,
AND TWO FOR YOU
Text reads “One for me, two for you. Hey.”
Tom says, HEY! I'M A CAT.
I'M A CAT, KITTY CAT.
WITH JUST A FEW FLEAS,
I DRINK MILK
AND DO WHAT I PLEASE.
Text reads “Hey.”
Tom sings, HEY! I'LL BE
YOUR BEST FRIEND.
I'M A CAT, KITTY CAT
IF THERE'S FOOD IN THE POT,
ONCE IT'S GONE
I'LL BE OFF LIKE A SHOT.
[Gun ricochet sound]
Tom sings, AND IF I GO MISSING,
JUST DO ME A BIG FAVOUR.
DON'T MAKE A BIG SCENE,
CAUSE' NOW I LIVE
WITH YOUR NEIGHBOUR!
Tom says, NOW I CAN GET SOME SLEEP!
THAT SINGING CAT HAS
FINALLY MOVED ON.
[Cat wails]
Tom says, TO THE TREE IN DEREK'S GARDEN!
[Cat wails]
