NARRATOR:
If there were a vote
for "Best Singer"...

♪ Mi-mi-mi-mi! ♪

♪ Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi! ♪

Thank you.

Thank you very much!

Thank you, everyone.

NARRATOR:
Quack would win, hands down,

especially if Quack was
the only one voting.

QUACK:
Ah... so much beauty
and so few to hear it.

Something must be done
about that.

But what?

Hmm...

Ah!

( chuckling )

( humming )

( panting )

Concert!

( quacks )

A concert...

featuring me...

singing... tomorrow!

Don't be late.

CHIRP:
Um, okay.

Where is it?

I don't know yet.

( voice resonating in can ):
I, uh...

( overenunciating ):
don't...

know!

( shouting ):
yet!

( resonantly ):
I...

( lower ):
don't...

( lower ):
know...

( higher ):
yet!

( singsong ):
I...

CHIRP:
We got it!

You don't know yet!

QUACK:
Actually, I think
I'll have it here.

I like how it sounds--
kind of, uh...

Oh, gosh, I don't know...
"tin-canny"?

( grunting )

( yelling )

CHIRP:
You can't have it in here!

You don't fit!

Of course I... ow!... fit!

Excuse me...

( grunting )

There!

( all yelling )

PEEP:
Put us down!

CHIRP:
Quack!

ALL:
Whoa!

Okay, okay, I'll
find someplace else.

Okay, so we're looking
for "tin-canny"

but much, much bigger.

I'm inviting a lot of... hey!

Not bad... roomy.

Whoa!

Floor's a little icy.

( voice resonating ):
♪ Mi, mi-mi, mi, mi... ♪

NARRATOR:
Quack decided to give
a practice concert

in his new venue.

( Quack clearing throat )

♪ Mi, mi... ♪

( clears throat again )

( shivering )

( clears throat again )

♪ Mi, mi-mi, mi! ♪

CHIRP:
Sorry.

Uh, cold floor.

NARRATOR:
Quack soon realized that a cold
audience is a restless audience.

QUACK:
Don't move.

I'll be right back.

( chuckles )

( laughing )

Ready?

Just remember that ducks have
loud and forceful voices.

( clears throat )

( voice not resonating ):
♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi! ♪

( stops abruptly )

( takes deep breath )

♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi... ♪

Okay, what's going on here?

It's not loud.

CHIRP:
Maybe these pillows
have something to do with it.

QUACK:
What does your being
comfy have to do with my voice?

Hmph!

NARRATOR:
Quack, Peep and Chirp
went looking

for a better, louder place
to hold Quack's concert.

Hmm.

There seems to be enough room
for my admirers, but...

does it pass the voice test?

( clears throat again )

♪ Mi mi mi mi mi mi mi! ♪

( Quack's voice echoing )

Some other duck is singing here.

And not very well.

Hey!

( echoing ):
Hey!... Hey!... Hey!...

Um, could you leave?!

( echoing ):
Could you leave?!...
Could you leave?!...

No... you leave.

( echoing ):
You leave... You leave...

Do you think maybe
you're talking to yourself?

QUACK:
I'm talking to
someone over there.

Someone rude who
needs to... leave!

( echoing ):
Leave!... Leave!...

Come on, guys.

This ravine isn't big enough
for two ducks.

CHIRP:
Or one.

QUACK:
♪ Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi. ♪

NARRATOR:
Quack kept searching
for the perfect concert hall.

♪ Mi, mi, mi,
mi, mi, mi. ♪

♪ Mi, mi, mi,
mi, mi, mi... ♪

♪ Mi, mi, mi. ♪

CHIRP:
He does have some
other songs, right?

( reverberating ):
♪ Mi, mi-mi, mi... ♪

♪ Mi, mi, mi,
mi, mi, mi. ♪

♪ Mi-mi-mi-mi-
mi-mi-mi. ♪

( Quack quacking,
clearing throat, singing )

NARRATOR:
By now, Quack had sung
in so many places

that Peep and Chirp
were beginning to hope...

I-I mean, worry that
Quack would lose his voice.

QUACK ( voice resonating ):
♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi,
mi, mi, mi, mi... ♪

ALL:
Huh?

( all cheering )

QUACK:
That's it!

That's the place!

It's all about me,

( echoing softly ):
♪ Mi...! ♪

Yep... That'll do.

NARRATOR:
So now that Quack had
the name of the concert...

QUACK:
"An Afternoon with Quack."

NARRATOR:
The time...

QUACK:
Tomorrow afternoon.

NARRATOR:
And the place...

QUACK:
The big, long, uh... the long,
round, you know... the thing.

NARRATOR:
All he needed to do
was invite his many fans.

QUACK:
Oh...

Um... oh-oh...

The... the fish!

The fish love me!

PEEP:
The fish?

But the...

CHIRP:
He'll figure it out.

QUACK:
Got it?

So I'll see you tomorrow
at the big long round thing.

Don't be late.

FISH JR.:
But w-we're fish, remember?

We can't leave the water.

Oh, yeah.

But you're at least
half my audience!

( tapping )

If you can't come, then...

Hey, who's tapping
while I'm talking?

FISH JR.:
It's that crawfish, over there.

QUACK:
Hmm?

Really?

Hmm...

You can hear stuff
very clearly down here,

and there's a big audience.

♪ Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-
mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi. ♪

( quacks )

It's a little
"underwatery," but...

I like it!

Change of plans!

The concert will now be held
at the bottom of the pond!

NARRATOR:
Quack never saw just how
disappointed Peep and Chirp were

to be missing his concert.

( cheering gleefully )

PEEP:
I mean... too bad, right?

CHIRP:
Yeah...

I was really looking forward
to it.

NARRATOR:
Yeah!

I was, too.

Oh, well.

Maybe another time.

QUACK:
Don't worry.

I'll give another concert
for you guys.

Hey, where are you guys?

Guys!

Where did you go?

You're missing my show!

Guys?!

( quacks )
