An American Tail: Fievel's New York Tails Volume 3

Episode 7: A Mouse In The Outfield

SCENE 1

Fade-in to a sunny morning on Hester Street, zoom in onto the mouse neighborhood where we pan over to the Mousekewitz family house. Cut to the interior Mama serving a tray of cheese muffins in the kitchen, while Tanya is helping feed baby Yasha.

MAMA: Thank you, Tanya.

TANYA: You're welcome, Mama.

-Yasha coos happily-

MAMA: Fievel! Fievel! What is keeping you, you silly boy?

-Fievel runs into the kitchen-

FIEVEL: Morning, Mama! Muffins smell good! (grabs one from the tray and is about to leave for school) Bye, Mama!

MAMA: Aren't you forgetting your school bag?

FIEVEL: Oops!

-Fievel runs to his and Tanya's bedroom so he can grab his school bag-

TANYA: Come on, Fievel. We don't want to be late for school.

FIEVEL: Don't worry, Tanya. I'm coming.

-Tanya grabs a muffin as well, and she follows Fievel out the front door-

FIEVEL & TANYA: Bye, Mama!

MAMA: Have a good day at school, my children!

-cut to Fievel and Tanya on their way to school before they meet up with Tony Toponi-

FIEVEL: Hi, Tony!

TONY: Hey, Fillie! You and Tillie on your way to school, eh?

TANYA: Yes, we are. We don't want to be late.

TONY: Ey, I can escort ya there if ya like! Hehe.

FIEVEL: Great! Let's get going! Last one there is a rotten egg! -giggles-

TANYA: Hey, Fievel, wait up!

-Tony chuckles as he walks with Fievel and his older sister. Soon, they reach the school, Tony notices a group of students playing baseball-

TONY: Hey, Fillie! Look! (points)

FIEVEL: That looks like a fun game, Tony! I wonder what it is.

TANYA: Me too.

TONY: Hehehe. They're playing baseball.

FIEVEL: Baseball?

TONY: Yep.

FIEVEL: Let's go see the game! Come on!

TANYA: Fievel, wait!

-Fievel runs over to see the baseball game, and waves to the students, one of the bigger kids, the shortest who wears an English Victorian blazer, waves back while the others just stare dryly-

FIEVEL: Hi! That looks like a fun game to play. Can I join in?

STUDENT 1: (English accent) Can he, please?

STUDENT 2: (to Fievel) You, joining on our baseball team? (starts laughing)

FIEVEL: What's so funny?

STUDENT 2: You can't join our baseball team, cause you're too little!

STUDENT 3: Yeah! A teensy-weensy boy mousey!

FIEVEL: I am not! Anything other kids can do, I can do too!

STUDENT 2: Oh, yeah? Prove it.

STUDENT 1: Hey, now! Cut that out. He's a nice fellow.

STUDENT 2: Keep your nose out of this, Dorset.
