Precious has arrived.

Oh, Precious! We welcome you with furry arms.

-Nice to meet you, Precious.

-ELMO GIGGLES

-We've got your room ready.

-Yeah, that's right.

-Just follow Phoebe and Elmo.

-Yeah.

-Aren't you going to carry me?

-Really? Oh, of course.

-We can do that.

-Sure.

-Do you have any luggage, Precious?

-Oh, just a few bags. I travel light.

Oh, my! Furgus!

Just fixing a leaky tap, Funella.

We need some help with Precious' cases first, Furgus, dear.

OK. Right away, Funella. Right. Here we go.

What? Oh, OK. Let's give it a go.

HE HEAVES

I think I might need some help with this, Funella.

I'll help, Furgus, dear.

This way, ma'am.

All right, this way, yeah.

OK. Watch your step.

-Right! Start pushing.

-OK.

Come on, dear, put your back into it. That's it. Well done.

Hello! Excuse me! Has my newspaper arrived yet?

Hello? Anyone?

-OK. Here we go.

-Welcome to the Cat's Meow Suite.

-Nice!

-Yeah!

With a special cat bed just for Precious.

Oh, aren't you going to plump the pillow for me?

I usually have my pillow plumped 57 times.

-Oh, OK.

-57. OK, sure.

-One plump, two plump.

-Three plumps.

-Four plumps.

A little more. The other way.

No, no, no! The other way, Furgus!

-Got it. Here we go.

-There we go. Well done.

Oh! Phew!

Right, here's your luggage, Precious.

I need to get back to finish that tap.

Aren't you going to unload my cases for me?

Someone usually unloads my cases.

Oh, all right. It shouldn't take long, dear.

At last. Please may I have my newspaper?

-Oh! Certainly, Mr Dull.

-Mum, Mum!

Precious would like some wool to play with,

-pink wool with blue spots.

-Excuse me...

I have yellow with pink spots. No.

Oh, pink with blue spots! Yes!

Oh, that's great. Thanks, Mum.

Precious would also like a bell to ring when she needs help.

Oh, I don't have a bell. Oh!

Would you mind, Isabel, just this once?

-Ding!

-Thank you, dear.

But... But... I didn't get my newspaper!

Well, I hope you don't need anything in a hurry.

Here's Isabel, Precious.

She can ring if you need anything.

Oh, yeah!

Isabel loves to ring herself.

Oh, good. Then I won't have to do it.

And here's your wool, Precious.

Wait! Aren't you going to play with it for me?

Well... Well, sure.

I guess we could. Phoebe.

-I'd like a wind-up mouse now, please, Isabel.

-Ding!

Oh! There's one in the wind-up mouse draw. Furgus!

Oh!

-Can you go and get it, please?

-Right away, my love.

Can somebody please scratch behind my ear? It's really itchy.

Uh, well, sure, OK.

Actually, both ears.

Certainly, Precious. There you go, dear.

Now I'm feeling really hungry.

We'll take you down to the dining room.

-Aren't you going to bring my food to me?

-Oh, yes, we can do that.

Precious is a little more demanding than our usual guests.

-A lot more demanding.

-We're Furchester's!

-Demanding is what we do best.

-Right.

Dum-di-dum-dum-dum. I make a cookie for you!

Oh, is that a cat cookie?

Oh. Oh, no. But you know what?

Me make it a cat cookie!

Num-num-num-num-num-num!

Little bit here. Num-num. Little off here. Num-num-num.

-See, now it look just like cat.

-No!

I like cookies that are just FOR cats,

not cookies that look like cats.

Oh, so you no want this cat? OK.

COOKIE! Num-num-oh-num-num-num!

Isabel, could you please ring for more food?

Ding!

Oh, dear. No-one can hear you. I need a louder bell.

GONG

Oh, yes. That'll work.

-ALL:

-Dinner time!

HE STRUGGLES

That's much better.

GONG

Dinner time!

Elmo, where's that rubber chicken?

Phoebe, I need my Whiskers Weekly magazine.

-Phoebe, let's go! No, no. The other way!

-Oh, yes.

-Here we go, here we go.

-Here we go.

I'd like a trumpet, please. Oh, and someone to play it.

GONG

ALL SHOUT

-Here's the trumpet Precious wanted.

-And I found someone to play it.

Squawk!

BOTH SIGH

Well, it's been hard work but looks like Precious is happy.

-At least for now.

-Yes.

But they're not!

I've been waiting for my newspaper.

-I'd like a carrot.

-And my tap's still dripping.

Dinner time! Dinner time! Dinner time!

Oh, no! We were too busy helping Precious...

..that we forgot about helping the other guests.

It's a really big problem!

It's a catastrophe!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

# It's more than just a slip up or a mess-up or a mishap

# A Furchester catastrophe we need to fix it fast-rophe

# Put it in the past-rophe This simply can not last-rophe

# A Furchester catastrophe The problem is so bad-strophe

# We're really flabbergast-rophe Let's ding the bell for blast-trophe

-# Catastrophe catastrophe

-What a disas-trophe

# Catastrophe catastrophe We need to fix it fast-trophe

# Catastrophe catastrophe let's put it in the past-trophe

# It's a catastra what a disaster It's a catastrophe! #

-We need to put our furry heads together and think.

-Yeah!

ALL: Thiiiink!

Oh! We could move Precious into the lobby,

then we could look after her and the other guests at the same time.

Oh, but it will take ages to move all of her luggage back down.

-Oh.

-Yeah.

-HE GROANS

MUMBLES: Precious don't want brush her teeth!

-What, Precious doesn't want to brush her teeth herself?

-Uh-uh!

Oh, fuzzawubba! That gives me a monster idea.

We need to show Precious she can do things for herself.

Oh! Yeah!

Oh, Precious!

I'm ready to have my teeth brushed.

Precious, what if you tried brushing them yourself?

What? Me do it?

But I've never brushed my teeth before.

-Well, try it. Precious might like it.

-Meow.

You're good at that.

Oh, I did it! I brushed my teeth myself. Ha-ha-ha!

That's great, Precious.

There are lots more things you can do for yourself.

-Oh, yeah. Like playing with this wool.

-Oh!

This is fun!

And after that, you could try plumping your pillow yourself too.

So, Phoebe and Elmo can help the other guests.

You have the guests?

-The tap is fixed!

-The monsters are having their tea.

Seems like everybody is happy.

ALL SIGH

GONG ALL: Oh, no!

Yes, Precious?

-Did you want something, Precious, dear?

-Oh, no.

I just wanted to show you I can gong the gong myself.

GONG

Ding! Ding! Ding!
