"Every time you flick it, you learn something new." "Grandpa, what's that... enciploredia?" "It is said "encyclopedia"." "Sure, Small Ball, it is said the encyclopedia." "It's a big store that sells cycles with pedals of all types, cycles, bicycle..." "Actually it's a great book of science, where is information about all things of the world." "Of the world, that is." "That I wanted to say too." "Sea..." "Seafront..." "Seagull!" "What does it say?" "Oh, yes, perfect!" "His flesh is hard a bit, but absolutely edible!"

"We can not go to the gas station to ask:" ""20 liters of petrol Super, please!"" "20 liters of petrol Super, please!" "Immediately, sir!" "Who are you?" "Poor little one!" "Where's your mom?" " No, please, no." " Stop lamenting and go ahead!" " Why me?" " Because of the longer tail." "I was brave as you, Zorba!" "That gas station bumpkin has thought as a fool" "There cannot be anyone..." "Hurry up!" "For all rats!" "Too late!" "We have to close the wings." "What's doing, sleep?" "No, she flew in the sky." "How?" "She flew up there without using wings?" " Becouse..." " An egg!" "An egg!" "For all rats!" "What do I do with an egg?" " A good omelet!" " Omelet?" "An optimal idea!" "In an encyclopedia we can find, how to prepare an omelet with flakes." "No, paws down, we can't touch that egg." "I'd feel a... a murderer." "A murderer?" "Zorba, do not tell me it's your first egg!" "I want an explanation, young one." "Why do you keep so much the seagull egg?" "Because..." "I have promised." "Secretary, what is he saying?" "What promise is talking about?" "I promised not to eat that egg... to care for a chick, what will be born... and that'll teach him to fly." "She was feeling so bad..." "A sad story, but you get in big trouble, young man!" "And you think you are able to respect these promises?" "Zorba always respects promises, what he makes!" "Of course I respect, but..." "I do not know, how to care for an egg." "If that can be done by some stupid birds, we, cats, can do that three thousands times better for sure!" "It's extremely simple!" "Volume "E", keyword "egg"." "No need an encyclopedia." "We are talking about hatching." "What hatching?" "It can not be!" "There was never a hatching by a cat!" "It's beneath us!" "It means heat transmission to the egg from the mother." "Mother?" "What mother?" "You have to wrap around the egg." "Slowly, do not crush it!" "Maybe, but I think it's very uncomfortable." "How long should I sit motionless in the nest?" "An hour, a month... how long?" "We'll get that info in Diderot's encyclopedia and tell you."

"I love you, Zorba." "I love you all." "Movement of pressure points A and B must be accelerated." "Expand C node." "Expand D node." "Raising point E." "Leveling point F." "30 beats per minute." "Points A and B raised to chest." "And departure..." "I fell." "Never mind, Lucky, calm down." "Nobody flies at first attempt." "Let's try again." "I'm not good at anything!" "We reached 21 trial." "I fail to understand!" "I studied Leonardo Da Vinci's machine until the smallest details." "I strictly kept instructions, but..." "Anyway done for now." "If we continue to failures, Lucky never gonna fly." "Why do not we try with a volunteer?" "Volunteer?" "How great is our Secretary!" "This is what I like, awake heart and brave brain." "Help!" "But why all me?" "Obvious, cause you're the lightest, most agile and more aerodynamic." "Start" "I rise up!" " Hang on, young one!" " Fly!" "I rise up!" "Compass went crazy." "The waves were as tall as buildings." "The storm had already lasted five long days and I didn't know if we was going towards the ground or on the deep sea." "So what did you do?" "All crew began to cry and pray." "But right then the steersman saw three seagulls." "For barracuda teeth!" "Those seagulls were flying towards ground." "Let's follow them and we are saved!" "You mean seagulls flies in the midst of the storm?" "For the scared crampfish!" "Birds are the most robust in the universe!" "Cool..." "You are cool!" " It seems she wants to fly." " I know, we've tried in all ways." "I exhausted all flying items, plane and wings." "It is absolutely the first time, when encyclopedia disappoints me." "Perhaps she lived with us too long and now she can't anymore..." "For the swordfish, not to say foolishness!" "It's a seagull and seagulls fly!" "I promised her mother that she's gonna fly." "And she is gonna fly." "Let try make her fly from a very, very high place." "I found, from belfry!" "We need to get up there, where are the bells." "No, youngster, it's not possible." "It's closed, it's not possible for us, cats, to reach up there." "We must consult someone who is not part of the animal world." " Who could that be?" " It would be... human beings." "Excluded!" "Speaking people language is absolutely forbidden!" "You have no idea, what would people make with speaking cats." "Would close immediately in a cage." "Yes, and then do their stupid medical exams." "Would put it in a zoo and use in circuses, for all to see and laugh at him." "You're right." "I am convinced that most people are not yet able to accept the idea that different being can be intelligent and, eventually, could be smarter than them." "And even if, assuming we want to miaow with man," " who do you think would..." " My captain is a good person." "He's a sailor, he has nothing to do with flight, with air." "What about humans from fishing?" "Yeah, right, like that which gaves the Secretary shoot in ass." "No, he is absolutely unworthy of this mission." "Could it be your human, Zorba?" "No, my heart suffers." "But I can not talk to him." "I would lose my domestic human." "In fact it would require a truly superior human." "Actually we need even more special one." "Someone who understands that all beings in the world have a soul, thoughts and feelings." "I know someone like that." "I knew I do wrong if I let you go in." "What do you want to do?" "Do not move, be quiet and watch." "But Zorba, it's forbidden!" " Ciao, Nina." " Where did you put my friends?" " How can you speak?" " Everything is possible in a dream." " Are you in a dream?" " Yes, but I want to talk about something real." "There is a seagull who needs to fly, but fails." " I will help him." " Yes." "When you wake up, you have to take us to the highest building in town," "Belfry of St. Michael." "Doors are locked up and we do not know how to enter." "Do not worry, sir cat." "Dad occasionally go up there at night to think, through a gate what is always open." "Thank you, Nina." "See you later." "Wait!" "What's your name?" "Zorba, is that you?" "Cat from a dream!" "Bubulina, you understand what I say too?" "Just as I've always suspected." "Come quickly, but carefully." "Do not wake up my dad." "How big you have grown!" "She is Nina." "She wants to help you, Lucky." "Come here, little one!" "I am your friend." "I am scared, mom." "Lucky, I am not your mom." "I am scared... dad." "But you want to fly, don't you?" "Yes." "Look, you can see a yard where you're born." "And there is the Diderot's museum." "I am so scared!" "Courage, seagull!" "I know you're scared, I haven't a courage to look down." "Don't forget that you have wings, and who has wings, isn't afraid of heights, and any obstacle what he can meet." "If you have wings, nothing can stop you." "You can fly to up there, to the moon!" "Fly, little seagull, fly!" "Do it for us, cats." "I have never flown!" "Be the first flying cat!" "I love you, Zorba!" "Me too, Lucky." " Courage!" " Fly!" "Fly, little seagull!" "Majesty!" "Cat's daughter flies!" "What's the big deal?" "We, rats, fly thousands of centuries!" "Crazy idiot!"
