A Statement Of The Obvious
In case you didn't Notice, Season 2 was nice and short, and is also finished. So now we have 2 seasons of Kittinz. Will there be a third? God only knows.

kittin 2 / 5
narrator: and so it was that king dave and his royal advisers decided to bake the many magpies of the court in a gigantic pie, thus solving the problem of the incessant cawing, and providing a hearty dinner for several nights hence
dave: hang on a minute! we're not going to *eat* them. it's cruelty to animals and besides, PETA will come and set us on fire as we sleep
amos: good point, oh benevolent one, and soundly made
jj: if dr moose and i were to partake in the eating of the pie, surely they could have no problem with that? it's the course of nature, after all
dave: alas, i fear you are wrong. it is natural for cats to kill magpies, to be sure, but how often do you see a kitten in a tin eating a freshly-baked magpie pie?
jj: [persistently] but don't you see that it is the will of the gods? why else would they be called "magpies" if they weren't meant to be baked in a delicious pastry casing?
dave: jeremy, i forbid it. we will bake them in a pie, but that pie will never be eaten, not by you or i. we must set it afloat upon the sea, and hope that it never returns to trouble our shores
dr moose: *meow*
narrator: and so it was that king dave and his royal advisers set to work making the most tremendous pastry casing ever seen, and it was to be the envy of all surrounding kingdoms. and when the pastry was ready, the magpies of the court were gathered up and ushered into the pie, and as king dave was about to seal the pastry with a weighty lid, a cry arose from the magpies
magpies: *caw, caw*
dave: amos, oh trusty friend and sidekick, you and you alone know the ancient tongue of the magpie. tell me, what is it they are saying?
amos: majesty, loosely translated it means, "please don't cook us in a pie"
dave: why, the poor little things! tell them not to fear, i'll do no such thing
jj: but dave, we have spent days crafting the most tremendous pastry casing ever seen, which is the envy of all surrounding kingdoms. we can't let it go to waste!
dave: jeremy, i know that you're nothing more than a magpie-hater. well hear this: as long as i am king, no magpie shall ever be harmed in my kingdom, by hook nor crook nor rook!
jj: [visibly saddened] very well, but perhaps there is no room for a kitten in a tin in a court that is swarming with magpies
dave: these magpies cannot stay. tell them, amos, tell them that they must leave immediately, and never return, unless they call a good three days in advance so that we can prepare the guest bedroom and get in some extra food
amos: *caw, caw*
magpies: *caw, caw*
narrator: and with that the magpies left the court of king dave in a mighty swarm, and dave was known afterwards as a friend of the magpies, and peace was restored to his court
amos: *caw, caw*
jj: [pushes him into the pie]

kittin 2 / 4
narrator: so begins the telling of the GREAT and DRAMATIC MAGPIE TALE
magpie 3: *caw, caw*
narrator: which will not be interuppted by an insolent cast
magpie 4: *caw, caw*
narrator: nor any beasts of the sky, the land or the sea
magpie 5: *caw, caw*
narrator: nor any flipping magpies
magpie 6: [does a flip]
[in the background other magpies are seen performing various flipping activities, such as flipping pancakes, "flipping the bird" (which is extremely appropriate), and generally being flippant]
narrator: as you can see, magpies are extremely irritating creatures, and so when dave discovered that his court was full of them...
[flashback to dave opening curtains and seeing a court full of magpies]
...he decided that something had to be done
dave: something MUST be done!
dr moose: *meow*
jj: doc and i have come up with an unbeatable plan
dave: tell me all
jj: you must bake them
amos: bake them?
jj: bake them. bake them in a pie
amos: in a pie?
narrator: you heard the man
dave: [puts on his pondersome face]
amos: [hushed voice] the wise king dave is pondering your plan
jj: [irritated whisper] i know a pondersome face when i see when, fool
dave: [slowly exits his state of ponderousness] i have considered your plan...
all: [excitedly] ...and?
dave: it shall be done!
[royal fanfare]
narrator: next time: THE BAKING OF THE PIE - a white-knuckle ride of an episode wherein the process of pie-making is debated heavily, and there is rather a lot of cawing in the background

kittin 2 / 3
narrator: king dave ruled his kingdom with a fist of steel
amos: and it was very shiny, being the stainless kind of steel that is brewed in Sweden
jj: and so it was that many magpies came to roost in the court of the king
magpie 1: *caw, caw*
dr moose: *meow*
dave: and so it was that wise king dave became very irritated because of the incessant cawing
magpie 2: *caw, caw*
dr moose: *meow*
jj: and dr moose was not very happy either
amos: nor was jeremy-jeremy
dave: nor amos
all: [collective sigh]
[pause for thought]
narrator: at this point the narrator recovered the story
jj: but not for long...
amos: ...because who could have known that talking about oneself in third person could be so much fun?
dave: not wise king dave, for one
dr moose: *meow*
jj: nor dr moose
amos: nor jeremy-jeremy
dave: nor wise king...
narrator: [interrupting rather vivaciously] AHA! already said that, haven't you?
dave: damn
narrator: that's why i'm narrator, and you're king
dave: and a wise king, too
amos: aye, king dave was a wise king, a good king, a clever king
jj: and he knew how to have a laugh
dave: [to demonstrate] ho-ho-ho
jj: [aside] actually dave, that was rather stilted
dave: oh. er... well, i'll practice
narrator: ...and so it was that a clumsy and ignorant cast ruined the telling of the GREAT and DRAMATIC MAGPIE TALE, which had to be postponed for... ANOTHER EPISODE

kittin 2 / 2
narrator: king dave was a good king, a wise king, a nice king
dave: i was?
narrator: yes, and you had a very fine crown
dave: and i was handsome, wasn't i?
narrator: handsome, yes...
dave: and brave?
narrator: "brave king dave," they called you
dave: i suspected as much. punish them! immediately
amos: but why, oh benevolent one?
dave: a rhyming king? i'll be no such thing!
[sound of kittinz giggling]
dave: why, you mischievous wretches. i suppose you think rhyming is funny? don't you know it can be very dangerous?
jj: [panting with laughter] dave... it's not a CRIME to RHYME [collapses in hysterics]
dr moose: *meow*
narrator: but at this very moment, the sky went dark
dave: look what you've done! the gods are angry
amos: [cowers in fear]
jj: just as well i've still got my tin
[the kittinz hide in their tins]
dave: amos! fetch me a tin that i too may hide
amos: but...
dave: disobedience?
amos: you'll be a king in a tin!
[sound of jj laughing, muffled by tin]
dave: that doesn't rhyme
narrator: it almost does
amos: look, there's a full moon in the sky!
narrator: ...and so it transpired that the gods were not angry at all, but that it was simply night time. all that fuss for nothing

kittin 2 / 1
narrator: in an unexpected turn of events, dave has become king
dave: get in that tumble-dryer, fluffy!
amos: yes sir [bows low]
dave: [to audience] it is necessary to make sure that no-one inteferes with my clothing
audience: [silently agrees, as you are now also doing]
dave: ...even when it is being TUMBLED DRY!
amos: indeed, your majesty. [gets in the tumble-dryer] it's very hot...
narrator: but at that moment, amos's sad little narrative was interupted by that of the kittinz, who were having great fun on the palace roof
jj: i bet you can't spit on... that one
dr moose: *meow* [does it]
jj: [applauds]
dr moose: *bows low*
dave: [from throne room far below] you bow to no-one except me! do you hear that, "doc"? NO-ONE!
dr moose: [mews timidly]
narrator: now dave was a good king, a kind king, a nice king. but sometimes, power would get the better of him, and he would do silly things such as rapping...
dave: [to the bathroom mirror] my name's dave, i get to shave, razor blades in my face and all over the place
narrator: ...and when the kittinz heard him they would tremble in fear
[cut to shot of kittinz trembling]
jj: that's some good trembling action there, doc
dr moose: *meow*
jj: yeah, i love what you're doing with your knees
narrator: overall, however, dave's reign was one of peace and harmony, and his subjects revered him
amos: [muffled voice, from tumble-dryer] can i come out now?

...the long awaited GRAND FINALE!
narrator: [dusts off script] erm...
dave: [helpfully] the Other Way was finally at our mercy
narrator: thank you dave. always a helpful one. i shall remember that for the next series, should ever such a thing come to pass
dave: glad to be of service [bows low]
narrator: and now, formalities aside, our heroes were ready to complete their quest and return in victory!
all: hurrah!
other way: [weakly] don't hurt me
amos: what's that you say?
other way: don't hurt me. i only want to live in peace
dave: awww
amos: isn't it sweet
jj: remember why we came here, fellas
amos: actually, it's been so long, i've bally well gone and forgotten!
jj: we're here to catch it, and to take it home
other way: nooooo!
jj: nooo?
other way: it's scottish for "no!"
jj: i suspected as much, you crafty creature
other way: don't make me leave, i love it here so very much
dave: you have to admit, he puts across a rather convincing argument
amos: he does, he does
dr moose: *meow*
[there is a silence full of anticipation and suspense]
jj: very well, we shall leave him here. but this quest shall not have been in vain...
[pause]
jj: ...because...
[pause]
narrator: while jeremy-jeremy struggled to finish his sentence, the others prepared to return home
announcer: hang on a second, all this hard work and you're just going to leave?
dave: that was the plan, stan
announcer: how did you know my name?
dave: i've got the knack
announcer: sounds nasty
narrator: and so it was decided that the announcer would stay with the Other Way, who had quickly become his friend. that way he would no longer be a threat to the kittin community, and it meant that our heroes could visit him for holidays and such. furthermore, the Other Way would not be such a sad and lonely beast, and he would probably be much better behaved in the future
amos: so that's it? end of story?
jj: not quite...
[fanfare]
narrator: actually, yes it is. that's all for now. season 1, closed
dr moose: *meow*

...more again again again!...
narrator: look at them! cowering behind a rock while the Other Way roars and rages about
jj: we should try again. i'm not going to have come all this way just to be mildly terrified by a sheepy creature
amos: i am! i think we should run away home and have tea and crumpets
dave: that's very typically fairytale of you, amos. we should defeat this beast, and capture him
[there is a roar from the distance]
jj: if we can trip him on a rock, we can catch him in a net
[they prepare to trip the Other Way on a rock]
announcer: [appearing from the sidelines] i'll save you!
jj: we're alright actually, we're about to trip him on a...
announcer: [loudly] YOOOU SHALLLLL NOT PASSSSS!
jj: [quietly] um...
announcer: RAAAAAAH! [fires rocket launcher in general direction of Other Way] [misses profusely]
jj: at this point i think we should resort to plan B, namely the bit where we run away and have tea and crump... [there is a massive explosion]
all: aaaaah!
dr moose: *meow*
[dust etc. envelops foreground]
[coughs and spluttering]
narrator: well, that was messy
dave: yes, it was
narrator: ...and once again, everything went tits up when the announcer got involved
announcer: [weakly] i was only trying to help
[spluttering is heard in the distance]
jj: i think he may have stunned the Other Way!
[pan to Other Way lying stunned amongst the rubble]
amos: it was quite a stunning performance
announcer: thank you
amos: no, thank you
announcer: my pleasure
narrator: and so, the Other Way was finally at their mercy. but what would happen next?

...!more
jj: [cautiously] i'm just cautiously entering the lair of the Other Way
dave: i'm following closely
amos: i'm making something of a nuisance of myself
dr moose: *meow*
narrator: and i'm gently spectacting in an omnipresent, omniscient sort of way
amos: lovely weather for ducks! [starts to sing] all the ducks are singing with your daughter, lalala
jj: shut it, amos! the beast is near! we must be very wary indeed
[from the distance there is a strange sound]
dave: it sounds a bit like a large sheep
narrator: and so it is! some say it resembles a ram, others a lamb, others still a ewe
amos: oh my!
jj: just as well i bought my spike [produces spike]
dave: and just what do you intend to do with that?!
jj: when we get close, i will spike the Other Way on the end, and thusly carry him home
amos: isn't that a bit dangerous?
jj: i'm willing to risk it
amos: but it will hurt!
jj: i can take the pain
amos: i mean, it will hurt the Other Way, the poor little beastie
[there is a contemplative pause]
dave: how about we just shoot it with tranquilizers?
jj: a fine plan!
dr moose: *meow*
narrator: and so, with tranquilizer guns drawn and set to "stun," our cautious heroes approach some more (i believe they've been approaching for several episodes now) and enter into sight of the Other Way at last
amos: sweet stephanie!
dave: it's a...
jj: ...lamb/ram/ewe/sheep thing...
all [apart from dr moose who goes *meow*]: the Other Way!
other way: [roars like a sheep]
jj: fire!
[they shoot their tranquilizer guns]
other way: [roars louder and more sheepishly than before]
jj: they're not working! he will not be overcome!
all: retreat!
narrator: and so they beat a hasty retreat around the corner, so that they don't have to gaze at the monster for another minute.
and that was all for today
...to be continued in usual style...

dave: it's a...
jj: ...lamb/ram/ewe/sheep thing...
all [apart from dr moose who goes *meow*]: the Other Way!
other way: [roars like a sheep]
jj: fire!
[they shoot their tranquilizer guns]
other way: [roars louder and more sheepishly than before]
jj: they're not working! he will not be overcome!
all: retreat!
narrator: and so they beat a hasty retreat around the corner, so that they don't have to gaze at the monster for another minute.
and that was all for today

there is a supermarket where you can
only buy your grandmother a small spatula,
life is cruel
dave: that sounds like something my mother used to sing to me before i went to bed
heavenly voice: [from an old episode] i am your mother!
dave: [shouts] we've been through this!

dave: look amos, dr moose and jj are stuck on a kiteboard in the sky
amos: i was here when it happened, dave
dave: i know, i was just trying to put in a recap for new readers
narrator: but... but that's my job
dave: it's a boring job, i don't want it
narrator: [quietly, to self] but it's all i have!
dave: how are we going to rescue those mischievous kittinz, amos?
amos: i think there's only one man for the job
amos + dave: Kite-Surfer Dude Gnarly Rescue Man!
amos: yeah!
KSDGRM: KITESURFERDUDEGNARLYRESCUEMAN... TO THE RESCUE!
dave: [aside] not another crazy shouting person...
KSDGRM: WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE PROBLEM?
amos: our kittin friends are trapped in the sky
dr moose: [from way above] *meow*
KSDGRM: hmm... just let me put on my MAGIC PANTS
[he puts on his magic pants]
KSDGRM: alright!
[the kite floats gently down to earth]
dave: wow! you saved them
jj: actually, i just sort of landed the kite
dave: Kite-Surfer Dude Gnarly Rescue Man, you're my hero
jj: uh... dave...
KSDGRM: i do what i can [runs off to avert another crisis]
dave: [sighs] if only i had magic pants
jj: dave, i landed the kite myself
dave: is that so?
dr moose: *meow*
jj: with a little help from the doc here and there
dave: really
jj: it's true
dave: so this whole adventure was a complete anticlimax
jj: looks that way, yeah
dave: i suppose we'd better stop talking before it gets any worse
amos: KITE SURF! WOOOOH!

narrator: you mind your language, my boy, or i'll fill your shoes with pennies
amos: you would never do such a thing!
dave: [hissed whisper] it is not customary to argue with the narrator
amos: well i don't think he's a very nice man
jj: hey fellas, me and the doc were thinking about doing some kite surfing. are you kids down with this kite-surfing jazz?
amos: i had a kite once
jj: that's profound, amos [aside, to dave] can we leave him behind?
narrator: that sounds like a very good plan indeed! and so, our friends (but not amos) went to a high place with a kite and a surfboard, to see what they could see
amos: wow! what a view

amos: he defied me first!

narrator: our heroes were in the hospital, helping dave recover from his damaged hernia
jj: i'm sorry for poking your hernia, dave
dave: it's ok
jj: it just seemed like the right thing to do
dave: i get it
jj: like that time i hit you with the rake. it just felt right
dave: I GET IT, jeremy
narrator: needless to say, tensions were running high, and if it hadn't been for little dr moose, there would probably have been several curse words in use. as it happens, the others were careful to censor their language
amos: **&£%
dave: what have you got to complain about?
amos: i just like cussing like a sailor
dr moose: *meow*
narrator: just as well dave had two kittens in a tin to cheer him up, otherwise maybe he would never have gotten better
dave: yeah i would
narrator: everyone needs a kitten in a tin, dave. even ghandi
dave: ghandi's dead
narrator: he wouldn't be if he'd carried a kitten in a tin with him, AT ALL TIMES
jj: say, he sounds suspiciously like that announcer guy
narrator: [looks flustered] why, whatever do you mean?
jj: it was mostly the speaking in capitals thing
narrator: i would never!
jj: [scrolls back up the page]
narrator: well, it must've just slIPPPED OUUTTT i mean, slipped out, ahem [fake coughs several times]
dave: oh dear, i hope he hasn't caught my hernia
narrator: i can't
dave: why's that?
narrator: because i carry with me my very own KITTEN IN A TIN! KITTEN IN A TIN! IT'S A KITTEN IN A TINNY-TIN-TIN!
jj: aaaaargh! [starts to melt under the noise]
dave: zeebbbbraaaaarrrrghhhh
amos: please stop
narrator: alright
jj: [unmelts] well, that was easy
dave: narrator, i don't see your kittin, where is he today?
narrator: ah yes, i must have left him at home
jj: but it doesn't matter, because you couldn't catch a hernia if it hit you in the face. right on!
dr moose: [hi fives jj]
[the kittinz do a peculiar victory dance which really bears no relevance to the situation, but which is also quite tricky to do in a tin, so congratulations to them]
