Warm summer day. The birds are chirping, the wind is blowing. Among the dense greenery, the house turns white. The kind cat Leopold lives in this one-story building.
The cat is located in a comfortable chair and enthusiastically examines a magazine with bright pictures. Turns page after page - nothing breaks the silence.
Two mice peeked out from behind the fence - white and gray. Here he is, Leopold! Here he is - the enemy for life! Sits, suspecting nothing...
- Tail by tail! White says.
- Tail by tail! Gray says.
Two little mice clasped their paws in a strong male handshake.
- We swear! White says.
- We swear! - gray echoes hoarsely.
And the cocky buddies began to show each other what they would do with this cat when they finally got to him.
The board in the fence moved away, and a white mouse appeared. I looked around - silence, peace. He looked back, waved his paw, calling his friend.
In short dashes, the mice rushed to the house of the cat Leopold.
And now they are already standing under his window. A white mouse jumped up, but its strength was not enough - it did not reach the window. Gray climbed up - slid down the wall and flopped to the ground. Then the white stood on the shoulders of the gray.
He climbed onto a box of flowers and looked out the window - here he is, Leopold!
At that moment, water poured over the mouse. This cat began to water its flowers. A small trickle of water for a little mouse turned out to be a whole waterfall. He could not resist and flew down, plopped into a puddle, and was carried away by the stream.
He finally surfaced, got out of the water and stands next to his gray friend, all soaked to the skin.
They sat down on the lawn - gray in the shade under an umbrella, and white in the sun drying, his wet clothes hanging on a bush nearby. The little mice thought, pored over their brains, figured it out ... We decided to give Leopold a head-washer. True, the idea is rather banal, but there will be laughter, and, of course, the joy of gray and white.
And they imagined the little mice, to the best of their "rich" imagination, that they hung a bucket of water over the cat's door and yelled: "Leopold, come out!"
The cat opened the door to the yard. The bucket overturned, and water poured over his head - a primitive joke of repeaters. A cat is standing, water is flowing from it, its mustache is drooping, it looks miserable and funny.
The vision is gone.
The mice hugged each other and patted each other on the shoulder. The hour has struck! Let's settle! Let's settle accounts!
They dragged a bucket of mice, put a ladder against the wall.
The gray one ran up to the faucet, into which a hose was inserted for watering flowers and trees, and turned the valve.
Water ran through the hose, escaped in a tight stream and knocked down a white mouse, throwing it up.
The little mouse flew through the air and plopped onto the sloping roof of Leopold the cat's house. He drove over the tiles and fell headfirst into a pot of flowers.
What is not a flower - alive! And they immediately poured water over it - to grow in health.
- Revenge! squeaked the white man, shaking himself off.
- Revenge! grey croaked.
But now, it seems, all troubles behind. A white mouse climbed a few steps up the stairs, pointed the end of the hose down into a bucket, and waved its paw at the gray one.
Turned the crane. A hard jet of water hit. The hose twitched and began to escape from the paws of the white mouse. And he clung to him with a death grip.
Took him down the stairs. The hose escaped from its paws, knocked down the mouse with a tight jet and let's jump, spin, watering everything in its path.
A jet of water hit the open window of the cat Leopold's house and doused him from head to toe.
The cat jumped up from the chair, decided that it was raining, and quickly closed the window.
And the hose is still rushing around the yard and watering everything around. A gray mouse saw a jet of water, yelled and rushed away. The water caught up with him, knocked him down, picked him up and carried him forward.
A tree is on the way.
The mouse hit the trunk and slid down it to the ground. From the concussion, apples fell from the tree and fell asleep to the mouse. Raking apples, he barely got out.
Chav-chav ... - was heard nearby.
oskakkah.ru - site
And this white mouse is eating a juicy apple on both cheeks. Gray got angry, grabbed a huge apple and just wanted to throw it at his friend, as they were immediately overtaken by a tight jet.
She fell on the mice with a waterfall and carried them away, not sorting out the road, sweeping away everything in its path.
A stream of water rushes between the bushes, mice flounder in it. They disappear under water, then reappear on the surface.
The little mice turned out to be near the stairs, which was attached to the wall of the house of the cat Leopold, grabbed the bottom step, escaped from the stream and began to quickly climb up the stairs. There is salvation. The water won't get them there. But apparently not destiny. A tight jet overtook them, knocked them down the stairs.
The mice flew down and plopped right into the bucket of water, which was prepared for the cat Leopold.
They came up to the surface, floundering, trying to get out of the bucket, but there was no point, only spray was flying in different directions.
- Forgive us, Leopold! - yelled white, choking in the water.
- Sorry, Leopoldushka! - yells gray.
Heard the screams of the cat Leopold. He jumped to his feet, put the magazine aside and ran out of the house.
“Ay, ah, ah…” he shook his head.
He broke through the curtain of water, ran to the tap and turned off the water.
Water has stopped flowing from the hose. Silence, only sparkling drops of water on bright flowers and leaves.
The cat came up to the bucket and pulled the mice out of the water.
He tied a clothesline and hung the mice to dry in the sun. He smiled, poured water from the bucket and said:
- Guys let's be friends!

ACT I

Facade of house No. 8/16. In front of the house there is a table, a bench, a mushroom, a sandbox. In the corner of the house is a telephone receiver.

MICE appear with the song

MICE. In the house eight fraction sixteen

The cat lives

This cat sleep for us, brothers,

Day and night all worries

Only about

How to settle scores sooner

With that cat.

How useless

This cat!

He doesn't ride on railings.

All year round

He doesn't chase pigeons

In the courtyard,

Only reads letters.

In the alphabet.

He is neatly combed

Parting

And the leads are always pleasant

Talk

Mouth opens in a smile

to the ears -

The word is very annoying

Us mice.

We are brave, we are fearless

We are strong.

And it's not for nothing that everyone calls us -

And when we put in a puddle

Then let's say together:

"Rat-so-ta!"

Leopold, come out!

/In the open window the cat Leopold/

LEOPOLD. Guys let's be friends!

GREY. Never!

WHITE. Come out, you filthy coward!

LEOPOLD. Guys, just leave me alone today!

GREY. Why is this? What, today is a special day?

LEOPOLD. Yes, today is my holiday.

GREY. What holiday? International cat day?

LEOPOLD. Today is my birthday. And I really, really ask you not to pester me at least today. Please. And now, excuse me, I have a lot of housework.

WHITE. It's his birthday!.. Just think, Gena the crocodile!

GREY. And he didn't even invite us.

WHITE. Frightened, vile coward.

GREY. Okay, we'll arrange a birthday for him.

WHITE. Now we will congratulate him.

GREY. For what?

WHITE. For a laugh. Come here.

/Brings the gray to the telephone booth, dials a number, the phone rings on the windowsill near the cat Leopold, the cat picks up the phone./

LEOPOLD. Hello…

LEOPOLD. Hello. And who is it?

WHITE. It's me, your aunt.

LEOPOLD. What aunt?

WHITE. Aunt Motya. Forgotten, you bastard? And who carried you, little one, in his arms? ..

GREY. / into the phone/ U-tu-tu-tu…

WHITE. Who gave you milk from a nipple?

GREY. U-tu-tu-tu-tu…

LEOPOLD. Aunt, forgive me, I don’t remember you well, I was so small ...

WHITE. Small, fluffy, striped ...

GREY. U-tu-tu-tu ... Just a tiger!

LEPOLD. What tiger?

WHITE. Well, what ... dwarf. But so pretty! So I wanted to take you...

GREY. And suffocate.

WHITE. Strangle in your arms, my dear! But that's not the point. I remembered that it's your birthday and decided to congratulate you.

LEOPOLD. Thank you very much, dear aunt!

WHITE. I wish you to be healthy, strong, dexterous ...

GREY. U-tu-tu-tu-tu…

WHITE. So that you can climb the highest tree...

GREY / pulls out the phone/ … and slam upside down from there! /hang up the phone/

The mice are laughing.

LEOPOLD. What stupid jokes! / hangs up/

GREY. Come on, I'll call now. I also came up with something. / dials a number hoarse voice / Hello!.. Who is this?

LEOPOLD. / picked up the phone/ It's me, Leopold.

GREY. Lepa? Hello, this is Gesha. Do you remember we met in the garbage dump?

LEOPOLD. You are confusing something. I don't go to the dump

GREY. Ah, you’re disdainful ... You become proud, you don’t recognize old friends. OK! I'm not like you, I remember that it's your birthday and I want to send you a present. Do you love sausages?

LEOPOLD. I love.

GREY. Well, that means you're satisfied. I'll give you a sausage wrapped in cellophane. I’ll just divide it like a brother: I’ll eat a sausage, and all the cellophane is for you, so that you choke on it. / hangs up/

/mice laugh/

LEOPOLD. Yes, what a disgrace! Just hooliganism!

WHITE. Now let's prepare a present for him. Get the cake.

GREY. Which? That biscuit with cream? This cat? Never!

WHITE. Get it, I say! I have an idea!

/Gray brings the cake, White sprinkles something on the cake./

GREY. What are you doing? Why are you smoking tobacco?

WHITE. Shut up, grayness! I'm making a sneeze cake. Whoever tries a piece, does not rest for three days.

GREY. Ah, I understand. How will he get the cake?

WHITE. Learn while I'm alive. / Dials a phone number, in an old voice/ Hello, is this Leopold's apartment?

LEOPOLD, / Picking up the phone/ Yes Yes.

WHITE. This is from the post office. Here's a package for you.

LEOPOLD. Very nice.

WHITE. It’s nice for you, but it’s hard for me to lift him up to you on the second floor. Very old, sorry. Can you go down, I'll leave it at the entrance.

LEOPOLD. Of course I'll go down. Don't worry, grandpa.

WHITE. Thank you son. Happy holiday to you. / hangs up the phone/

/Gray puts the cake at the entrance, runs away/

LEOPOLD. / Leaving the entrance/ It's a cake! What do I have Good friends! There is even an inscription here. / Is reading/ "To dear Leopold on his birthday from friends" What humble friends! They didn’t even identify themselves… Oh, how I love cake! Nobody loves like me! Now I’ll try a piece ... No, I’ll put it off until the evening ... Why wait? After all, the birthday has already arrived. I’ll try a small piece ... so tiny ... for one tooth ... No, no, I know myself: first for one tooth, then for the second, and then - you look - and there was one box left of the cake. No, I'll wait for the guests. Vksny things are best eaten with friends.

/Mice see everything, they peek from around the corner of the house/

GREY. Oh, you gave away such a cake in vain. He didn't even try. And he said: “Now we will laugh!”

WHITE. Quiet! No panic! Now let's laugh. I have another present. It's called "Surprise" / Rolls the ball to Leopold's feet/ Uncle! .. Our ball rolled away, knock here!

LEOPOLD. Now, kids, this minute! / Swinging, hitting with force/ A-A! / Jumps on one leg, screams in pain/ Oh, what a ball! .. / With difficulty picks up the ball, it falls with a heavy thud/ What's inside?!.

WHITE. The cobblestones are there inside - that's what!

MICE. They deceived the fool, let the leg hurt now! / run away/

LEOPOLD. How painful!.. How insulting!.. Why?!. Ah, guys guys! How are you not ashamed?

What did I say to them? .. And most importantly on such a significant day! So embarrassing. In such a joyful ... / crying/.. so cheerful... / Cries even harder... in such a solemn! .. / sobbing/. And there is no one to even pity me ... caress ... sympathize ... / To the hall./ Guys who love animals, raise your hands... Well done, it's good that you are so kind. I beg you, please cry with me. You know, when they sympathize with you, it immediately becomes easier on the soul. Get ready! ... I will give you a signal when to start crying ...

And it doesn't hurt me! And I don't want to remember how they tied my mustache with a bow. I'm fine. And I don't want to remember how they broke my gramophone! Today is my birthday. Everything is fine! So what's good here? After all, this is bad! Badly!

From what?! Why?!.

I don't understand

Why is this bad luck?...

Take pity on me

And cry, friends!

Collectively cry with me! ..

Ah-ah!.. Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ayayayushki - ah-ah-ah-ah!

Fine! One more time!

Ah-ah!.. Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ayayayushki - ah-ah-ah-ah!

Nobody ever

I did no harm

No flower, no bird, no fly.

So tell me quickly

Why from mice

I endure this terrible torment?!.

All together again!

Ah-ah!.. Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ayayayushki - ah-ah-ah-ah!

Fine! One more time!

Ah-ah!.. Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ayayayushki - ah-ah-ah-ah!

Well done! Well, let's shed a tear!

I see how you

Tears pour from eyes.

We cried a whole sea.

/He unscrews the handkerchief, water pours out of nothing - a trick./

From the support of friends

More fun in my heart

The tears have dried up - the grief is over!

/ The same chorus, but already fun./ 4 times

Ah-ah!.. Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ayayayushki - ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ah-ah!.. Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ayayayushki - ah-ah-ah-ah!

Fine! One more time!

Ah-ah!.. Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ayayayushki - ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ah-ah!.. Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ayayayushki - ah-ah-ah-ah!

LEOPOLD. Thanks, thanks guys. Everything is gone. And my leg stopped hurting. This is what sympathy means - all the bad things are immediately forgotten. I don't remember these mice. And how they teased me, and how they pinched my tail, and how they broke my favorite gramophone, and how they tied my mustache with a bow in a dream, how they tortured me, scoffed ... mocked me ... / crying/ I am an unfortunate cat ... How bad I feel! Oh, how bad! A-ah-ah!..

/PES appears - DOCTOR./

DOG. Who is bad here?

LEOPOLD. Doctor, dear, nasty, I feel bad.

DOG. So, okay, what are you complaining about?

LEOPOLD. On mice. They completely tortured my body.

DOG. Yes?.. A curious case... Let's listen... / Listening to a cat with a phonendoscope./ Breathe - do not breathe ... Mouse - do not mouse ... So ... Stretch your hands forward ... / The cat's hands are shaking./ Show your teeth... / The cat's teeth are chattering./ Feet together… / The cat's legs are shaking./ The first case in my practice! ... Mice always tremble from cats, but here it’s the other way around ... Listen, patient, have you tried to talk seriously with these mice?

LEOPOLD. How is that?

DOG. Intimidate.

LEOPOLD. Oh.

DOG. Finally, cut...

LEOPOLD. Doctor, how to embed it?

DOG. How? Well, I don't know, for example, on the neck.

LEOPOLD. What are you, doctor, what are you! Once a mosquito sat on my forehead, I slapped myself on the forehead ... / crying./ And no more mosquito!.. I always cry when I remember this little… flying bloodsucker. / Covers face with hands./

DOG. Yes, it's a tough one. I suspect you have an inflammation of kindness. Well, let's check. Tell me, do you have a bike?

LEOPOLD. I have, why?

DOG. Just imagine that someone took your bike without asking, smashed it into a cake and dragged this cake to you. What do you tell him?

LEOPOLD. I'll say: "Dude, are you hurt?"

PES / grabs head/. No, no, he didn't get hurt! He crashed on your bike into such a hefty oak tree.

LEOPOLD. Was the oak damaged?

DOG. No, not hurt. Why do you care about oak, you better worry about your bike.

LEOPOLD. And what about him to worry, everything is fine with the bike. I'll sell it for scrap.

DOG. Well, won't you say anything to the one who broke your bike?

LEOPOLD. What to say? It happens to everyone...

DOG. But he didn’t know how to ride at all, but he got on someone else’s bike !!

LEOPOLD. Couldn't?! Then I will teach him.

PES / grabs the heart./ Wait, I'll take some sedative drops... Phew, okay, let's leave this bike alone, let's take another example. Here is what you have?

LEOPOLD. This is cake. It was given to me for my birthday.

DOG. Congratulations. Some hooligan takes this cake from you and takes it away. / He pretends to be a bully, takes the cake and walks away./ Well, why are you silent? Do something!

LEOPOLD. Uh ... Sorry, dear, you are probably mistaken. This is my cake.

PES / in the image/. Was yours, became mine. Gee-s-s! .. Today I will gobble it all up. I love very sweet...

LEOPOLD. Well, if you love it so much, eat healthy. Just be sure to put it in the refrigerator so that the cream does not deteriorate.

PES / leaving the image /. Stop! Yes, what is it! Some boor stole your cake, you wish him good health! Is it necessary to do so?

LEOPOLD. But as?

DOG. Here, look. You have to go like this... shows/... boldly, decisively ... Take him by the breasts and say: “Well, immediately return the cake! Otherwise I’ll make a chop out of you!” Clear?

LEOPOLD. Clear.

DOG. Repeat.

LEOPOLD / resolutely approaches, takes the Dog by the breasts, straightens his tie /. Well, that's what! .. my dear ... Immediately put the cake in its place! You can't start with sweets! If you're so hungry, I'll make you a chop now!

DOG. All clear. You have a common goodness of the central nervous system. You don't know how to get angry at all.

LEOPOLD. Yes, I can't...

DOG. Cheer up, my dear, medicine can help you. Here are special pills for you ... "Ozverin" ...

LEOPOLD. "Ozverin"? What a terrible name!

DOG. It's OK. Great medicine. As soon as you are offended, take one pill and you will immediately go berserk.

LEOPOLD. Forever?

DOG. No, just for a few minutes to punish the offenders. And then be kind again.

LEOPOLD. Thank you Doctor.

DOG. All the best, get better. / leaving./

LEOPOLD. But wait, doctor, come to my birthday party tonight!

/Leopold is going to go home (thinks): Ozverin, what a terrible name, I will not take these pills.

/But at this time, mice appear from around the corner with slingshots, aim. Gray shoots the cat, he screams./

MICE. Leopold, you vile coward! Head like a watermelon!

LEOPOLD. Who is this? Oh well, I'm tired of all this. I've been offended. (Takes a pill.)

/White shoots and also hits Leopold./

…Ah well?! / Takes second pill./ And an encore!

/Takes a third, lets out a lion's roar, grabs a metal pipe and ties it in a knot./

I call the mice to fight

Let them meet me

Even a million, even a billion -

I am a tiger, not a cat

Lives in me now

Not Leopold, but Leopard!

On end wool,

1. Tail Trumpet -

Don't stand in my way!

If I meet a thousand devils -

I'll break it into a thousand pieces!

2. Tail Trumpet -

Don't stand in my way!

If I meet a thousand devils -

I'll break it into a thousand pieces!

I was a soft cat

With a fluffy belly

He murmured his song.

But there is a limit to everything -

Now I've gone berserk

And I don't recognize myself.

Don't stand in my way! 2 times

If I meet a thousand devils

I'll break it into a thousand pieces!

/ During the song, Leopold chases mice, destroying everything in his path, drives them into a dustbin, jumps onto the roof, dances and sings. The action of "Ozverin" ends…/

…Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!.. What have I done! What a shame! What a disgrace! / Installs a telephone booth in place, raises a fallen fence, a bench, a fungus/ I will never take those terrible Ozverin pills again. Ai-i-i-i! / Hiding in the hallway/.

/The lid of the dustbin opens, mice are shown from there /

GREY. Completely brutalized! .. Striped predator. What's wrong with him today?

WHITE. Are you deaf? He himself said that he accepted Ozverin.

GREY. What is this "Ozverin"?

WHITE. The medicine is like that. You accept it and immediately become brutalized… no, you become brutalized… you become brutalized…

GREY. You're being brutal!

WHITE. Right. Who are you now?

GREY. Little mouse.

WHITE. That's it. And you take a pill - and you are already a lion! .. Rhinoceros! .. Crocodile!

GREY. And where can I get this "Ozverin"?

WHITE. Where do they get medicines? At the doctor.

/Falls to the ground, screams / - The doctors! The doctors!

GREY. / falls near/ - Help!

/DOG DOCTOR appears /

DOG. Called? What are you complaining about?

MICE. On a cat!

WHITE. Leopold! He hurts us all the time.

GREY. Doesn't give a pass. Completely tormented.

DOG. Cat Leopold offends you?

DOG. Interesting. Why can't you answer him?

WHITE. Why are you, doctor, we are so meek, quiet, exemplary ... We only say to him: “Hello”, “Good afternoon”, “How are you?” ...

GREY. "Let's live in peace".

WHITE. In short, we are very kind, we urgently need to prescribe Ozverin.

DOG. Yes? Okay, let's see how kind you are. Do you love cheese?

MICE. / embarrassed/ We love.

DOG. That is great. Have a seat...

/Mice sit on the sides of the table. The dog takes out a plate and a piece of cheese from the bag/. ... Here's some cheese for you, share it as your good heart tells you.

WHITE. / moves the plate towards Gray/ Eat, dear friend!

GREY. / moves the plate back/ No, you eat, my good!

WHITE. / turns away from the cheese and pushes the plate towards Grey/. You are bigger than me, you need to eat.

GREY. / also turns away and pushes the plate back. You are smaller than me, you need to grow.

/The dog, meanwhile, takes the cheese from the plate and hides it behind his back.

MICE. / notice that the plate is empty. Where's the cheese?

GREY. / WHITE/ Did you eat that?

WHITE. I?! You ate it yourself, but you blame others!?

GREY. This is you dropping! I turned away, and you grabbed, U ... / swings / Glutton!

WHITE. And you are fat!

DOG. Quiet, quiet! Calm down! Here is the cheese. Well, where is your kindness?

/Mice begin to search../… Don't look, anyway, you won't find it. You don't have it. And I won't give you any Ozverin.

GREY. Oh, greedy! .. And also a doctor.

DOG. You don't need Ozverin at all, you need to learn kindness from the cat Leopold. And you need to study regularly - three times a day before meals ... / notices the Rubik's cube in the hands of the WHITE / Oh my favorite cube! May I have a minute?

WHITE. Please play as much as you like.

DOG. Well, thank you! When I see a Rubik's cube, I forget about everything in the world! / grabs the cube, starts to twirl it / .. So! .. Now the village is here! .. And this is down! ..

WHITE. / shows Gray to the bag /"Ozverin" is there.

GREY. Shh!

WHITE. He can't hear anything now.

GREY. / opens the bag, rummages in it, takes out a box /..Eat!

/The mice run away on tiptoe./

DOG. … yellow up… white down… Everything! Out!

Look! / Notices the mice are gone/.. Oh, how I got carried away that I didn’t even say goodbye ... And why is my bag open? .. What a mess it is! It's here... it's in place... One medicine is missing. Where is my "Otshibin"?...

/The cat Leopold / appears in the window.

LEOPOLD. Doctor! Doctor! It's good to have you here. I completely forgot to invite you to my birthday. Tonight.

DOG. Thank you, thank you, I will definitely, I will definitely ...

LEOPOLD. Doctor, are you excited about something?

DOG. Very. I lost the wonderful medicine "Otshibin".

LEOPOLD. "Otshibin"? Never heard.

DOG. This is a new drug. "Otshibin" - he knocks off memory.

LEOPOLD. But it's harmful!

DOG. What do you! Vice versa. Very helpful. How would I explain to you ... Let's say you need to go to the dentist.

LEOPOLD. Oh…!

DOG. See, you're scared. Because you remember the last time you hurt. And accept "Otshibin" - and everything is forgotten. Going to the dentist is like a holiday! And what is especially good is that after a while the memory returns, and the person remembers everything perfectly.

LEOPOLD. What a wonderful medicine!

DOG. Yes, but where is it?.. Maybe I forgot it at home? I'll go look. / leaving/.

LEOPOLD. / after/ Don't forget, I'm waiting for you tonight!

DOG. / from behind the scenes / I will definitely.

/Mice / appear.

GREY. Here it is, our "Ozverinchik", "Ozverinushka"!

WHITE. And you didn't mix it up? Is that really Ozverin?

GREY. If you don't believe me, read it yourself - it's written on the box.

GREY. And I'm not literate either.

WHITE. Oh you greyness! Give me the box. / To the hall/ Boy, read what's written here. Just don't cheat. "Ozverin"?

/There are 2 options here:

1. If the boy answered: "Yes" - WHITE says: "Thank you, I thought so."

2. If the boy answered “Otshibin”, WHITE says: “That's right, this is Ozverin”. As soon as we accept it, we will beat off the cat any desire to contact us.

GREY. Come on, I can't wait!

WHITE. One tablet?

GREY. Why is there one, come on two. For fidelity.

/Take pills/.

WHITE. / Looks at Gray, does not recognize/. Hello citizen!

GREY. Good afternoon. Who will you be?

WHITE. I am a mouse. And you?

GREY. I am also a mouse.

WHITE. How strange! You are a mouse, I am a mouse, but you still don’t know each other ... Where do you live?

GREY. In a hole, in the yard.

WHITE. And I'm right there.

GREY. Somehow I don't remember you.

WHITE. And I see you for the first time.

/Notice in Leopold's window/.

… And who is this?

GREY. I think it's a cat.

WHITE. Does he live here?

GREY. I don't know, I've never seen him before.

WHITE. What a cute cat! I would like to get to know him.

GREY. And I would like to. / Cat./ Dear!

WHITE. Dear friend, can you hear us?

LEOPOLD. Are you talking to me?

MICE. To you, to you.

WHITE. We would love to make friends with you. And you?

LEOPOLD. I've wanted this for a long time. I always told you: "Guys, let's live together." And you didn't want to.

GREY. We didn't want to?

WHITE. Something we don't remember.

LEOPOLD. Well, since you don't remember the bad, I won't remember it either. Let's reconcile.

GREY. And we didn't quarrel.

LEOPOLD. Okay, okay, let's not remember.

WHITE. Come on, let's play cat and mouse!

LEOPOLD. Thanks, but I can't. Today is my birthday, I have to get ready.

GREY. Congratulations!

WHITE. And let us help you. We'll clean the potatoes.

GREY. We'll cut the cheese.

LEOPOLD. Thank you, my grandmother helps me with the housework. Let's prepare a musical surprise for the guests - favorite songs from cartoons.

MICE. / jumping for joy, clapping their hands/. We love cartoons too!

WHITE. How do we eat!

GREY. Like nightingales!

LEOPOLD. Is it true? How good! Then you will help me. Now I'm going down.

/Runs out of the porch with a guitar/.

… My friends, let's rehearse. I want to start with my favorite song: “I sit on the cool all day…”, you know?

MICE. We know, we know!

LEOPOLD. Then let's start.

I've been sitting on the steep bank all day,

Clouds float above me...

GREY. Leopold's muzzle gently squints,

WHITE. Babushka Yaga splashes merrily,

LEOPOLD. My friends, you are mistaken, there are not such words.

WHITE. And we remember what they are.

GREY. Yes, we remember better because there are two of us.

WHITE. One head it's good, but two better.

LEOPOLD. Okay, let's not argue. Let's sing another song. Do you know this one?

Crocodile dil dil swims...

GREY. Crocodile dil dil yelling...

LEOPOLD. Wait, wait! What is the crocodile yelling?

GREY. Lost dog Lost dog

WHITE. Lost dog named Potty.

LEOPOLD. What are you singing? The dog's name was Buddy.

GREY. You don't remember anything yourself.

WHITE. You better play, and we will sing.

LEOPOLD. What to play?

GREY. All songs in a row.

WHITE. We all remember.

BOTH. The magician will come to us

In a blue vacuum cleaner.

GREY. And watch movies for free.

WHITE. Ask: "Whose birthday?"

GREY. Takes all the cookies.

BOTH. And with cookies he will rush out the window.

WHITE. Clouds, carousel horses,

What are you screaming?

GREY. Ha-ha-ha!

WHITE. Do you want to eat?

GREY. Yes Yes Yes!

WHITE. He doesn't go to school all year round.

BOTH. Chunga teapot is the best student.

GREY. I ate a diary for a holiday with deuces,

Living on it is easy and simple.

WHITE. There fell recently from the bridge

BOTH. Two black grouse arrived

They pecked, flew away ...

The crocodile runs after him skipping.

GREY. Barmaley in Adidas sneakers.

WHITE. Crocodile in short pants.

BOTH. And then surely

The cat will pour us milk

And, of course, invite to the birthday party.

We will sing many songs

And we won't lie a single line -

This is what memory means to everyone surprisingly.

LEOPOLD. / Laughs, wipes away tears/ Oh, friends, you got it all wrong. But it turned out so funny that I didn't even stop you. I think the guests will be happy. In general, guys, I'm so glad that we finally became friends ... You know what? We will not wait until the evening, we will celebrate this event right now. I have a wonderful cake. A gift from complete strangers. Now I will bring it. Excuse me for not calling you to the house, there grandmother is doing now general cleaning. /Runs away/.

GREY. What a good cat! Cute, kind! What's his name?

WHITE. I think Leopold.

GREY. Leopold... And a beautiful name...

/Leopold comes running with a cake/.

LEOPOLD. Here is the Surprise Cake! Try it, please, and while I run away, I will make tea. / Runs away/.

GREY. Look, I've seen this cake somewhere before...

WHITE. / laughs/ Where could you see him? This is a gift from unknown friends. Let's try a piece.

/They cut off two pieces, bite off, start sneezing and banging their heads on the table/.

GREY. Oh! Oh! My memory is returning to me. This is our cake! We poured tobacco into it ourselves.

WHITE. And I remembered everything! This cute cat is our worst enemy Leopold the cat! He wants to be friends with us! Play cat and mouse! Drink tea!

GREY. Never!

WHITE. Never!

BOTH. No way!

LEOPOLD. Guys! Tea is ready! .. Have you already tasted a piece? Did you like it?

BOTH. We can't stand cats

We can't stand cats

From tail to ears.

The cat can't be good

The cat can't be good

From the point of view of mice.

Tail by tail!

Eye for an eye!

You won't leave us anyway!

Tail by tail!

Eye for an eye!

We'll tell you a secret

We'll tell you a secret

Without hints and threats;

There is nothing more pleasant

There is nothing more pleasant

How to pull a cat by the tail.

Tail by tail!

Eye for an eye!

You won't leave us anyway!

Tail by tail!

Eye for an eye!

... Leopold, come out, you vile coward!

/Leopold appears with a tea tray./

LEOPOLD. Tea is ready! How about the cake, did you like it?

GREY. Very.

WHITE. You've never eaten like this. Try.

LEOPOLD. With pleasure! More than anything, I love cream cake. / Takes a bite, wants to sneeze./

MICE / wallow with laughter/. They deceived the fool, there is a pack of tobacco in the cake!

LEOPOLD / still going to sneeze/. Guys, let's... ah-ah-ah... let's live... ah-ah-ah... together! Up-chi!

ACT II

/The mouse march sounds. GRAY and WHITE appear at the forefront./

WHITE. Well! Did I tell you that this is not Ozverin? Everyone is arguing! We took another medicine. It shatters the memory.

GREY. How did I know? What am I, doctor?

WHITE. It's good that the memory quickly returned. Otherwise, they could remain fools for the rest of their lives.

GREY. And now we're smart again.

WHITE. Here you are, smart, tell me, where are you going to get "Ozverin" now?

GREY. Don't know.

WHITE. And I know. Whom did the doctor give Ozverin to?

GREY. Leopold.

WHITE. So where is he now?

GREY. Who, Leopold?

WHITE. Yes, not Leopold, "Ozverin"?

GREY. At the cat.

WHITE. That's it! Need to imagine. Dullness…

GREY. And you are a white-bellied pallor.

WHITE. Well, wait! I'll take Ozverin, I'll show you where the mice hibernate!

GREY. And I’ll give you this without any “Ozverin” - you’ll immediately go berserk.

WHITE. Well, give it, give it! Just try!

/Gray swings, White raises his hands up./

…I propose a draw!…

GREY. Okay... So be it. World. Just tell me, how will we get to this Ozverin?

WHITE. Very simple. We'll sneak into the cat's apartment and get there.

GREY. And how do we get through?

WHITE. We know how, but we won't talk. / Whispering in Gray's ear. Both rejoice./

GREY. Oh, I can already feel these pills in our hands. I accept one...

WHITE. And I'm two.

GREY. Then I'm two!

WHITE. Do you feel how your body fills with strength?

GREY. Feel.

WHITE. We are getting big like… an elephant… Like a ten-story building…

GREY. With an elevator.

WHITE. Watch out Leopold!

GREY. Get under the bench!

From the grandmother from the mouse

We have heard many times:

Hush, mice

The cat on the roof

He is stronger than you.

There are two of us in the world

And he's only one

Bend it into an arc

Will help "Ozverin".

One-two, one-two

The grass is breaking up

We go - the earth trembles,

Everything runs in fear.

Ki-ya! Ki-ya!

"Ozverin" I accepted!

The cat is now a flea for us.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

We never cry

Although there is no happiness in life.

Sugar hides

dog cat

From mice to buffet.

Tremble, unfortunate predator,

Shake all over with fear

We'll find you in no time

And boldly say: "Shoot!"

Ki-ya! Ki-ya!

"Ozverin" I accepted!

The cat is now a flea for us.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Ki-ya! Ki-ya!

There is no beast stronger than me!

Come out any strong man -

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

/The mice leave the stage. The curtain opens. Before us is Leopold's apartment: in the depths, the kitchen is slightly raised, on foreground- living room. GRANDMA irons the tablecloth./

GRANDMOTHER. Oh, I can't even believe it! My beloved grandson Leopoldik is ten years old! Quite an adult! It's time to get married.

But just recently she nursed him in these arms ... He was so small, fluffy, all “meow”, “meow”, all day long “meow”. This is my name - Meow, my patronymic is Murlykovna. Didn't you hear? Well, where from? I am an ordinary cat, I have not acted in cartoons, not like my Leopoldik. What was it before amazing baby! Polite, obedient! And kind! How much I suffered because of his kindness! Either he will drag a downed sparrow, he will make a nest for him in my felt boots and pour grits there ... Then he will bring a homeless puppy. Feed, drink and put to sleep. To my bed. And once the snake was invited into the house. She says she has nowhere to live. Her hole was asphalted. Let, he says, live with us until the summer. And the snake was so ill-mannered: it hisses, then it shows its tongue to me. So… In general, not a house, but a whole menagerie. That's how kind he was. Even too much. Oh, I remember doing that once. We went to the zoo with him. I stared at the monkeys, and he approached the cage with the rhinoceros. And he sits in a cage, bored and roaring. And my Leopoldik felt so sorry for this rhinoceros that he decided to let him out for a walk. The bolt pushed back and the cage door opened. The rhinoceros jumped out of the cage ... He himself is healthy, instead of a nose - a horn, eyes are small, angry. The people were blown away by the wind. Who climbed a tree, who rushed into the pond to look for protection to the hippopotamus. And the rhinoceros straight down the alley and into the street. All traffic stopped. The cars drove in reverse, the trolleybuses hid in the underpass, the policeman whistles, and the rhinoceros rushes through the red light right into the ice cream parlor. It turns out that rhinos are very fond of ice cream. They have a heat there in Africa, so they only save themselves with ice cream. He ate two hundred portions of ice cream, and from the cold he has a tooth on the tooth. Stands all white, blue nose, and trembles. He has an ARI. A doctor was brought to him - an ear-throat-rhinoceros. Then Leopoldik came up to the rhinoceros, spoke to him affectionately, covered him with a blanket, gave him hot tea with lemon and took him back home to the cage. Wow, so small, but not scared. Kind, kind and brave. My Leopoldik… Leopoldushka… A-apchi!

LEOPOLD. Grandma, did you call me?

GRANDMOTHER. No, I'm just talking to myself. And where do you go? Soon the guests will come, but we still have nothing ready.

LEOPOLD. Grandma, I rehearsed with mice.

GRANDMOTHER. I also found a company! A mouse is not a friend of a cat!

LEOPOLD. I just wanted to explain to them that it is not good when neighbors offend each other.

GRANDMOTHER. That's right, it's not good. But when they don't help - okay?

LEOPOLD. Oh grandma! Forgive me please! Now we will do everything, in one moment! Well, what would I do without you?

GRANDMOTHER. Okay, okay, suck it up! Are you used to the fact that your grandmother does everything for you? .. March to the kitchen!

LEOPOLD. Grandma, I'm all set!

We don't care about you!

Wash, wash, go for bread,

Sex revenge, cook compote -

One such thing

Do not master even for a year.

No grandma, no grandma

Don't bake pancakes

Cutlets are overcooked

The milk will curdle.

And with my grandmother

Everything will taste delicious

Living in the house is fun

And breathe easily.

Ah, work, you Homework!

We don't care about you!

Chasing a soccer ball

Or lie down with a book...

But there is a lot of work in the house -

You have to take care of your grandmother.

No grandma, no grandma

Don't bake pancakes

Cutlets are overcooked

The milk will curdle.

And with my grandmother

Everything will taste delicious

Living in the house is fun

And breathe easily.

LEOPOLD and GRANDMA. Ah, work, you're homework!

We don't care about you!

Ah, grey-haired granny,

My beloved old friend

You are everywhere

And there are enough hands for everything.

No grandma, no grandma

Don't bake pancakes

Cutlets are overcooked

The milk will curdle.

And with my grandmother

Everything will taste delicious

Living in the house is fun

And breathe easily.

GRANDMOTHER. Well, that's enough, that's enough! You just have to sing and have fun. There is no yeast in the house.

LEOPOLD. There is yeast. They are in the kitchen. I will bring it now. / Runs away./

GRANDMOTHER. This is Ozverin. / Doorbell./

LEOPOLD. Granny, I threw away Ozverin a long time ago.

GRANDMOTHER. How worried! They don't let my grandson live straight. / Opens the door./ Come in, please!

/Enter WHITE and GRAY in blue robes. They have gauze bandages on their faces../

GREY. Now let's see ... We'll cover the holes, we'll caulk the cracks.

WHITE. Not a single mouse will crawl.

GRANDMOTHER. Well, thank you! You do what you need to do, and I'm in the kitchen. If so, call.

GREY. Go, go, grandma. We'll manage here without you.

/Grandma leaves./

WHITE. Where he keeps medicines, there is Ozverin.

GREY. Where does he keep them?

WHITE. How do I know? Search!..

/Looking all over the room. White climbs onto Gray's shoulders and searches on the closet. At this time, Grandma enters./

GRANDMOTHER. Do mice get under the ceiling?

WHITE. Yeah, special mice are bats. / Shows how they fly and fall to the floor./

GRANDMOTHER. Wow! / Sees mice rummaging through books./ Are mice and books interested?

WHITE. Certainly. These mice are scary rodents. They gnaw everything: books, and plaster, and bricks, and iron ...

GREY. Do you know what teeth they have? In!.. / Lifts the mask and shows his teeth./

GRANDMOTHER. / To the hall./ It is clear who came to us to bring out mice. Well, well, welcome. Now I will play cat and mouse with them.

/At this time, the Mice are looking for something under the bed. Grandmother lays down on the bed, bounces, crushing the Mice. There are screams from under the bed. Mice get out./

GREY. What are you doing?

WHITE. Why are you bothering to work?

GRANDMOTHER. Yes, I am old, I wanted to rest, so I lay down.

WHITE. You have to watch where you go! So you can crush a man's tail!

GRANDMOTHER. Well, excuse me, then I’ll take a nap in a chair ...

/Sits down in a chair, closes his eyes./

WHITE. / Gray whisper/. Look in the kitchen.

/Gray leaves. White is looking in the closet. Grandmother sneaks up and locks the closet door behind him. White knocks, shouts: “Help! Walled up! Gray runs. Grandma sleeps in a chair./

GREY. What's happened? Who screamed?

GRANDMOTHER / waking up/. A? What? Who screamed? This is probably me in a dream.

GREY. Ah… / leaving/.

WHITE / from the closet/. Save! Oxygen is running out!

/Gray returns, unlocks the cabinet, White falls out../

…Is it you who locked me up?

GREY. No.

WHITE. You're lying! It's all your stupid jokes!.. Wait, I

I will remember you! Let me just find Ozverin.

Looking for. Gray climbed his head into the cupboard. Grandmother stabs him from behind with a knitting needle.

GREY / screams, White/. What are you? Completely crazy?

WHITE. What about me? What I've done?

GREY. You don't know yet! Now how…

/Hits White on the head with a pillow/.

/White falls to the floor. Doorbell. Grandmother wakes up, runs to open. Gray drags Bely into the closet, closes the door behind him. Enter Grandmother and Leopold./

GRANDMOTHER. Then two from the sanitary station came to you.

LEOPOLD. Who?

GRANDMOTHER. Mice, that's who. They thought I wouldn't recognize them.

LEOPOLD. Where are they?

GRANDMOTHER. They ran away. They heard you were coming and ran away. Probably through a window. Give me salt, while you vacuum the apartment. Just don't be lazy, it's been vacuumed everywhere: don't forget the carpet and the closet. / leaving/.

/Leopold turns on the vacuum cleaner, runs it across the floor, over the furniture, opens one closet door, vacuums inside, the vacuum cleaner chokes ... Leopold opens the case: he takes out blue robes, shirts, trousers ... He screams, heading towards the kitchen./

LEOPOLD. Grandma, where are these things from?

/Mice jump out of the closet. One is wrapped in a tablecloth, the second in a sheet. Barefoot on tiptoe run out of the apartment/.

MICE / screaming from behind the stage/. Wait, Leopold! You will answer for this, you vile coward!

GRANDMOTHER / enters with Leopold/. They, apparently, were sitting in the closet, and your vacuum cleaner undressed them.

LEOPOLD. Oh, how inconvenient!

GRANDMOTHER. Well, let! They won't mess around next time! Where is your yeast? Searched everywhere.

LEOPOLD. Yes, they are there, behind the samovar.

GRANDMOTHER / climbs behind a samovar/. There is no yeast here. Only a box, and it says "Ozverin".

LEOPOLD. Yes, I threw away Ozverin a long time ago, I keep yeast in this box.

GRANDMOTHER. What a mess! It is immediately clear: one man in the house. / Takes some of the yeast and leaves/.

LEOPOLD / sets the table, sings/:

In our apartment everything shines,

Dishes are heard ringing,

And the festive table is laid

For several people.

And waiting for friends

Everything boils in the kitchen

After all, everyone knows that the guests

A good appetite.

/Fit Granny/.

LEOPOLD. And I'm all set. It's time to set the table.

LEOPOLD and GRANDMA:

After all, without guests,

Like no friends

It is very difficult to live in the world.

And it doesn't matter

What's after them

Dishes need to be washed.

/The doorbell rings, Leopold and Grandmother meet the guest. This is PES/.

DOG. Dear friend, happy birthday! Please accept my humble gift. Today I examined two mice - your neighbors. I didn’t really like them, but I liked their toy so much that I decided to buy exactly the same one and give it to you. Oh, I'm very worried if you like it. It's a Rubik's Cube... that is, a Rubik's Cube... no, a tube of donut...

LEOPOLD. Rubik's Cube?

LEOPOLD. Hooray! I've dreamed of him for so long. Thanks a lot.

Likes to receive gifts

Any normal cat

And a juvenile crocodile

And an old hippo.

It's nice to receive gifts

It's nice to give them ... Anyone who agrees can stand up

And grab a song...

ALL. After all, without guests,

Like no friends

It is very difficult to live in the world.

And it doesn't matter

What's after them

Dishes need to be washed.

/Doorbell. GOAT is coming/.

LEOPOLD. Hello dear GOAT.

GOAT. Dear Leopold, I congratulate you on your birthday! I'm very worried if you like my gift. This is Bobik's Cube...er...or rather, Tobik's Bobik...

LEOPOLD. Is that a Rubik's Cube? I just got the exact same Doctor!

GOAT. Oh, how bad it turned out! ...

LEOPOLD. Why? Two cubes are better than one.

GRANDMOTHER. And three is even better ... Empty spaces!

LEOPOLD. Thanks grandma!

GRANDMOTHER. Sorry, granddaughter, but I bought you this cube too. /Gives/.

LEOPOLD. Now we will arrange a competition - who will solve the Rubik's cube faster.

GRANDMOTHER. Compete while I watch the pie. / leaving/.

LEOPOLD. Get ready!

/All three sit facing the audience./.

/Music, to which all three rhythmically collect cubes, with the last chord, everyone simultaneously raises the collected cubes above their heads. Doorbell./

/A PIG in a sundress enters. Instead of a nose - a round patch. It's white in disguise/.

PIG. Sorry, I'm uninvited, but we pigs do it that way. I am your new neighbor.

LEOPOLD. Hello, please come in.

PIG. But I am not alone. I had no one to leave the child with, I brought him with me. / Pulls a big stroller/. Here he is, my little pig! My piggy!

/The head of a Piglet with a heel protrudes from the stroller. It's Gray in a baby cap/.

PIG. Mother! Give me a cheese sandwich!

PIG. It's too early for you to have a sandwich!

LEOPOLD. But why? If the child wants, let him eat for health. Take it baby. / Brings a plate of sandwiches to the stroller/.

/Two hands stick out, pour sandwiches into the stroller, return an empty plate/.

DOG. Isn't it bad for a little one to eat that much?

PIG. Nothing, we have pigs, so it is customary.

GOAT. And how much is yours?

PIG. Ours? One year old. With a ponytail.

GOAT. Strange .. A year old, but he says how big he is.

PIG. Yes you? He only knows a few words - WA yes AU!

PIG / sticks his head out of the wheelchair/. Mother! Give me Pepsi Cola!

DOG. Little kids shouldn't have Pepsi Cola! Drink milk.

PIG. Drink milk yourself! I want Pepsi Cola!

LEOPOLD. Okay, okay, baby. I think one sip won't do anything to him. / He holds out the bottle, Gray drinks it all, they give back the empty one./.

GRANDMOTHER / from the kitchen/. Come here help me.

LEOPOLD. Excuse me, friends, I'll leave you for a minute. / leaving/.

/Piglet starts whimpering. The pig is rocking the stroller. Everyone crowded around the stroller, trying to calm the child. The pig, taking the opportunity, moves away from the carriage, rushes to the buffet, looking for "Ozverin" /.

DOG. Calm down, calm down, little one. Here, play with a cube ...

PIG. I don't want a cube!

GOAT. But look, what a beautiful box ... Play with the box ...

DOG. What are you doing?! This is the strongest medicine - "Ozverin"!

PIG. "Ozverin"?

PIG. Where is Ozverin?

DOG. Replace the box immediately.

PIG. I want "Ozverin"! "Ozverina" I want!

PIG. Stop torturing your child! Give him the box.

DOG. And as a doctor, I say - you can’t!

GOAT. You, dear ones, have loosened your child too much!

PIG. I know better than you how to raise children.

GOAT. No, you don't! He will grow a pig into a pig.

PIG. And you are a goat!

/I take advantage of the quarrel, Gray gets out of the carriage, goes on tiptoe to the box with Ozverin. The dog notices it/.

DOG. What else is this?! / Gray fades/.

…This is not a pig! / Fits Gray, takes off patch/. It's a mouse!

GOAT / Pig/. And you are not a pig! / Takes a patch off her/. Shame on you! Deceivers!

DOG. Have you decided to spoil the holiday for our respected Leopold? Will not work!

GOAT. While he did not see, get out for good and healthy.

WHITE. Think! Frightened… / Gets into a stroller/. Driver, move! Go!

/Gray takes away the stroller with White, LEOPOLD and GRANDMA appear with a birthday cake in their hands/.

LEOPOLD - Well, here, Dear guests The birthday cake is ready! Granny please! ..Where is the pig?

GOAT - Uh ... The fact is that this pig turned out to be ...

PES / interrupts/ - It turned out that this pig forgot to turn off the iron. She wildly apologized for not being able to stay and asked me to convey her heartfelt greetings to you.

LEOPOLD - Thank you. And now I ask to the table!

PES - Wait a minute! Before we sit down at this beautiful table, I want to congratulate our dear Leopold.

LEOPOLD - But you already congratulated me.

PES - No, I congratulated on my own behalf, and now I will congratulate on behalf of all your friends. You don't even know, my dear Leopold, how many friends you have. / Shows the hall./ That's how much. And even more. / To the hall./ Guys, don't let me down, As soon as I wave my hand, you will sing along to me. Attention!

/Doorbell./

LEOPOLD - This is probably the Mumps returned!

/The horse enters. She has two inside - White and Gray. She walks, bows, raises her front legs in greeting, sits on her hind legs../

HORSE -Congratulations-I-yayu you, dear Leopo-o-old!

LEOPOLD - Hello. And who are you?

HORSE - I am a horse. Doesn't it look like it? / Kicking back legs./ I love you so much! When your film was on TV, all of our horses were whinnying ... And-and-and-oh-oh-oh!

GRANDMA - Dear guests! Everything will cool down! Sit at the table!

PES - I'm sorry, but as a doctor I want to ask everyone to wash their hands before eating.

GRANDMA: Right. Gold words. Wash your face!

/Everything but the horse, leaving/

... And you, dear horse?

LASHAD: And I have hooves instead of hands.

GRANDMA: Why don't you wash your hooves?

LASHAD: No, I clean them. Brush and shoe polish.

GRANDMA: Wow! What does not happen in nature!

/leaves/

WHITE: / from under the blanket /. Gone! Come on quickly!

/White and Gray crawl out from under the blankets. Grab a box with "Ozverin" /

GRAY: And here are not pills, but some big cubes.

WHITE: That's good, so it will work faster.

GREY: / sniffing/ Listen, they smell like yeast!

WHITE: Well, right! From "Ozverin" strength grows by leaps and bounds. Let's quickly swallow, otherwise they'll be back!

/Both swallow yeast. White and Gray's bellies begin to swell right in front of their eyes./

(It's a trick: rubber tubes connected to a pear in a pocket)

GREY: Oh, what's wrong with you?

WHITE: I don't know... What about you?

GREY: I'm bad. Ai!.. Ai!.. Help!

WHITE: Help! Now I'm going to burst!..

/Leopold, Grandmother and guests run in./

Save us! We ate Ozverin from this box.

LEOPOLD: It's not Ozverin, it's yeast.

GRANDMA: So your bellies have risen like butter dough.

GRAY: Doctor, help! Do something!

PES: Now I will introduce you "Antibryuhin"

/He takes out a large syringe from the bag. The mice crawl backstage in horror. The dog follows them. The screams of mice are heard. All three return. Mice have returned to normal.

WHITE: Forgive us, Leopold!

GREY: I'm sorry, huh?

LEOPOLD: All right, so be it. I have forgiven you so many times, I will forgive you this time.

GRANDMA: Well, when will we finally sit down at the table?

/Everyone sits down. Mice modestly stand aside/.

LEOPOLD: Guys, why don't you sit down?

WHITE: Can we, too?

GREY: We've never been invited to a table before.

LEOPOLD: Sit down, sit down and make yourself at home.

/Mice join the guests. Candles are lit on a festive cake. Leopold rises with a glass of milk in his hand./

My friends, tell me, when do you and I feel especially good?

GOAT: When we watch cartoons.

DOG: When we walk in the fresh air.

WHITE: When we eat cheese.

GRAY: With crust.

LEOPOLD: And I think we feel especially good when we have friends around. With friends it is always fun, interesting and you feel so strong that no Ozverin is needed. In short guys...

ALL: Let's live together! Hooray!

LEOPOLD: And now, according to tradition, let's extinguish the candles on the birthday cake.

/The guests blow on the candles, but the candles do not go out /

No, apparently without our friends / shows on auditorium/ we can’t do it here either. Come on, all together! ..

/They blow on the candles along with the audience. Candles go out. The melody of the final song enters. Leopold takes the hands of the Mice, the rest of the participants join them /.

LEOPOLD: Let's forget everything that happened,

I have long wanted to say

That it's stupid to waste strength on a fight,

We need it for good deeds.

ALL: The sun shines brighter,

sparrow chirping,

Good to live in the world (2 times)

Have fun (2x)

LEOPOLD: I'm not a coward, I'll tell you honestly

I just think like this:

Enough space on the vast earth

For mice, cats and dogs.

Prologue

In the house eight fraction sixteen the cat lives,

This cat does not let us sleep, brothers.

Day and night, all worries are only about

How to settle scores with that cat as soon as possible!

How useless is this cat

He does not ride on the railing all year round,

He does not chase pigeons in the yard,

Only letters reads in the primer!

He is combed neatly in the parting

And he always has a pleasant conversation.

The mouth opens up to the ears in a smile.

In a word, it irritates us mice very much!

We are brave, we are fearless, we are strong,

And it’s not in vain that everyone calls us - rodents,

And when we put a cat in a puddle,

Then we will say together - "Cry - so - that!

Leopold come out!

/ In the open window the cat Leopold /.

I picture.

Leopold. Guys, just leave me alone today.

Grey. Why is this? That today is a special day.?

Leopold. Yes, today is my holiday.

Grey. What holiday? International cat day?

Leopold. Today is my birthday. And I very, very much ask you not to pester me at least today, please, but now, excuse me, I have a lot to do.

White. It's his birthday!..Just think, Gena the crocodile!.

Grey. And he didn't even invite us.

White. Scared. Sneaky coward.

Grey. Well, okay. We'll arrange a birthday for him.

White. Now we will congratulate him.

Grey.. For what?

White. For a laugh. Come here / Leads the white man to a telephone booth, dials a number, the phone rings on the windowsill near the cat Leopold, the cat picks up the phone /,

Leopold. Hello..,

White. It's me, your aunt.

Leopold. What aunt?

White. Aunt Motya. I forgot, you bastard! And who carried you in your arms? .. Grey./ into the phone / U-tu-tu-tu.

White. Who gave you milk from a nipple?

Grey.- tu-yuyu-tu,.,

Leopld. Aunt, forgive me, but I don’t remember you well, I was so small ...

White.....small, fluffy, plump

Grey. U - bye-bye-bye ... Just a tiger!

Leopold. What tiger?

White. . Well, what ... dwarf. But so pretty! So I wanted to take you...

Grey. And suffocate.

White. Strangle in your arms, my dear! ..But that's not the point.

I remembered that it's your birthday and decided to congratulate you.

Leopold. Thanks a lot.

White. I wish you to be healthy, strong, dexterous, ..

Grey. U-tu-tu-tu..

White. So that you can climb the highest tree...

Grey./pulls out the phone/ and slams upside down from there/ hangs up the phone/. The mice are laughing.

Leopold. What stupid jokes. / hangs up the phone /.

Grey. Let me call now. I also came up with something. / Dials a number, hoarse moss / Hello ... Who is this?

Leopold./ picking up the phone / It's me, Leopold.

Grey. Lepa? Great, this is Gesha, Do you remember, we met in the garbage heap?

Leopold. You are confusing something. I don't go to the dump

Grey. Ah, you're freaking out. Puffed up, old friends do not recognize! OK! I'm not like you, I remember that today is your birthday and I want to send you a present. Do you love sausages?

Leopold. I love.

Grey. Well, that means you're satisfied. I'll give you a sausage in cellophane, Just share it like a brother: "I'll eat the sausage, and the whole cellophane is for you, so that you choke on it. / hangs up / / Mice laugh /

Leopold. Yes, what kind of disgrace is this! Just hooliganism!

White. Now let's prepare a present for him. Get the cake.

Grey. Which? That biscuit with cream? This cat? Never!

White. Get it, I say! I have an idea!

/ Gray brings cake. White sprinkles something on the cake /

Grey. What are you doing? Why are you smoking tobacco?

White. Shut up, grayness! I'm making a sneeze cake. Whoever tries a piece, will not sneeze for three days.

Grey. Ah, I understand, And how will he get this cake?

White. Learn while I'm alive. / dials a phone number, in a steric voice /. Hello, is this Leopold's apartment?

Leopold/hang up the phone/ Yes, yes

White. This is from the post office. Here's a package for you.

Leopold. Very nice.

White. You are pleased, but I don’t have to go up to the second floor to see you. I'm too old, sorry. Maybe you can go down, I'll leave it at the entrance.

Leopold. Of course I'll go down. Don't worry, grandpa.

White. Thank you son. / hangs up the phone /.

/ Gray puts the cake at the entrance, runs away /

Leopold./ leaves the entrance / Oh, here it is - a gift, / reads / "To dear Leopold on his birthday from friends." What modest friends! They didn't even identify themselves... Oh, how I love cake!...no one loves it like I do! Now I'll take it and try it. No, I'll put it off until tonight. Why wait? After all, the birthday has already arrived. I'll try a small piece ... so tiny .. for one tooth .. No, no, I know myself: first for one tooth, then for the second, and then you look from the cake, one box remained. No, I'll wait for the guests. Delicious things are best eaten with friends.

/ Mice see everything, peeping from around the corner of the house /

Grey. Oh, you, such a cake was given in vain. He didn't even try. And he said: "Now let's laugh!"

White. Quiet! No panic! Now let's laugh. I also have a present. It's called "Surprise" /rolls a soccer ball at Leopold's feet/ Uncle! ... Our ball rolled away, knock here.

Leopold. Now, kids, this minute! / swings, hits the ball with force. /

A-ah .. / jumping on one leg, screaming in pain / Oh! .. What a ball! .. / "With difficulty lifts the ball, it falls with a heavy thud /. What's inside!?

White. The cobblestones are there inside - that's what!

Mice. They deceived the fool, let the leg hurt now. / run away /

Leopold. Thanks, thanks guys. Everything is gone. And my leg stopped hurting. That's what Sympathy means - everything bad is immediately forgotten .. I don’t even remember about these mice. And how they teased me, and how they pinched my tail, and how they broke my favorite gramophone, and how they tied my mustache with a bow in a dream, how they tortured me, mocked me ... mocked me ... / cries / I am an unfortunate cat ... How bad is it for me! Oh, "how bad! Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! ...

Leopold's song, Cry with me,

Dog. Who is bad here?

Leopold. Doctor, honey, I feel bad.

Leopold. On mice. They completely tortured my body.

Dog. Yes?... Curious case, Let's listen... / listens to a cat with a phonedoscope /. Breathe - do not breathe ... mouse - do not mouse ... So ... stretch your arms forward. / The cat's hands are trembling / Show your teeth... / The cat's teeth are chattering /.

Dog. Yes, a severe case „I suspect you have an inflammation of kindness

Well, let's check. Tell me, do you have a bike?

Leopold.- Eat; And what?

Dog. Just imagine that someone took your bike without asking, smashed it into a cake and dragged this cake to you - What will you tell him?

Leopold.. I'll say: "Dude, are you hurt?

Dog./grabs his head/, No, no; he didn't get hurt! He crashed on your bike into such a hefty oak tree.

Leopold. Was the oak damaged?

Dog. No, no, he got hurt. Why do you care about oak, you better worry about your bike.

Leopold. And what about him to worry, everything is fine with the bike. I'll sell it for scrap

Dog. Well, will you say anything to the one who broke your bike?

Leopold. What to say? It happens to everyone...

Dog. But he didn’t know how to ride at all, but he got on someone else’s bike !!

Leopold. Couldn't?! Then I will teach him.

Dog./grabs his heart-/ Wait, I'll take some sedative drops..- Phew, okay, let's leave this bike alone, let's take another example. Here is what you have?

Leopold. This is cake. It was given to me for my birthday^"

Dog. Congratulations. Some hooligan takes this cake from you and takes it away. / Depicts a hooligan, takes a cake and walks away / Well, why are you silent? Do something?

Leopold. Uh .. sorry, dear, you are probably mistaken. This is my cake.

Dog./ in the image / Was yours, became mine. Gee-gee-gee ... Today I will gobble it all up. I love very sweet...

Leopold. Well. if you love it so much, eat healthy. Just remember to refrigerate so that the cream does not spoil.

Dog/ exiting the image / Stop! Yes, what is it? Some boor stole your cake, and you wish you health! Is it necessary to do so?

Leopold. But as?

Dog. Here, look. You have to approach like this... /shows/...boldly, resolutely... Grab him by the breasts and say Well, return the cake immediately! Otherwise I'll make a chop out of you!" Clear?

Leopold. Clear.

Dog. Repeat.

Leopold./ resolutely approaches, takes the Dog by the breasts, straightens his tie / Well, that's what! ... my dear ... Immediately put the cake in its place! You can’t start with sweets if YOU are so hungry, I’ll make you a chop now!

Dog. All clear. You have a general goodness of the central nervous system. You don't know how to get angry at all.

Leopold. Yes, I can't...

Dog. Cheer up, my dear, medicine can help you. Here

special pills for you ... "Ozverin"

Leopold."Ozverin"! What a terrible name!

It's OK. A wonderful medicine. As soon as you are offended, take one pill and you will immediately go berserk.

Leopold. Forever.

Dog. No, just for a few minutes to punish the offenders. And then you'll be good again.

Leopold. Thank you Doctor.

Dog. All the best, get better. /Leaves./ /Leopold is about to go home, but at this time the Mice appear from around the corner with slingshots, aiming. Gray shoots a cat, he screams /

Mice. Leopold is a vile coward! Head like a watermelon!

Leopold. So! I've been offended. /Takes a pill./ /White shoots and also hits Leopold./….. Ah well! /Takes another pill./ And one more pill for an encore! /Takes the third pill, lets out a lion's roar, grabs a metal pipe and ties it in a knot/

Song of Leopold

I call the mice to fight

Let them meet me

Even a million, even a billion.

I'm a tiger, not a cat, it lives in me now

Not Leopold, but a leopard.

Hair on end, tail pipe,

Don't stand on my road

If I meet a thousand devils,

I'll break it into a thousand pieces.

Hair on end, tail pipe,

Don't stand on my road

If I meet a thousand devils,

I'll break it into a thousand pieces.

I was a soft cat with a fluffy belly,

murmured his song,

But there is a limit to everything, now I'm brutalized

And I don't recognize myself.

Hair on end, tail pipe,

Don't stand on my road

If I meet a thousand devils,

I'll break it into a thousand pieces.

Hair on end, tail pipe,

Don't stand on my road

If I meet a thousand devils,

I'll break it into a thousand pieces.

If I meet a thousand devils,

I'll break it into a thousand pieces. / during the song, Leopold chases mice, destroying everything in his path, driving them into a dustbin, jumps onto the roof, dances and sings, The action "Ozverin ends ... / Oh oh! What have I done! What a shame! What a disgrace! / Puts a telephone booth in place, lifts a fallen fence, a bench, a fungus / Never again will I accept this "Ozverin, It's better to let everything be as before. Ah-ah-ah-ah! ... /Opens the lid of the dustbin, mice are shown from there/.

Grey. Completely freaked out! Striped Predator! What's wrong with him today?

White. Are you deaf? He himself said that "Ozverin accepted.

Grey. What kind of "Ozverin"?

White. The medicine is like that. You accept and immediately become brutalized ... no, you become brutalized ... you become brutalized ...

Grey. Are you freaking out? And where can I get this Ozverin?

White. Where is the medicine taken? At the doctor's./falls to the ground screaming/. The doctors! The doctors!

Song of the Mice

We can't stand cats

We can't stand cats

From tail to ears

The cat can't be good

The cat can't be good

From the point of view of mice

Eye for an eye, eye for an eye

Still you won't leave us

You won't go anywhere from us

Tail for tail, tail for tail

Eye for an eye, eye for an eye

We'll tell you a secret

We'll tell you a secret

No hints or threats

There is nothing more pleasant

There is nothing nicer

How to pull a cat by the tail.

Tail for tail, tail for tail

Eye for an eye, eye for an eye

Still you won't leave us

You won't go anywhere from us

Tail for tail, tail for tail

Eye for an eye, eye for an eye

Leopold. Grandma, I rehearsed with mice

Grandmother. I also found a company! A mouse is not a friend of a cat!

Leopold. I just wanted to explain that it is not good when neighbors offend each other.

Grandmother. That's right, it's not good. But when the grandmother is not helped - well?

Leopold. Oh grandma! Pass the! Forgive me please! Let's do everything right now. At once! Well, what would I do without you? (Song of the Cat and Grandma)

Dear friend, happy birthday! Please accept my humble gift. Today I examined two mice - your neighbors. I didn’t like them, but I liked their toy so much that I decided to buy exactly the same one and give it to you. Oh, I'm very worried if you like it. It's a Rubik's Cube... that is, a Rubik's Cube.....no tube of donut...

Leopold. Rubik's Cube?

Dog.Yes!

Leopod. Hooray! I dreamed about it for so long * Thank you very much!

Likes to receive gifts

Any normal cat

And a juvenile crocodile

And an old hippo.

It's nice to receive gifts

It's nice to give...

One who agrees; can get up

And pick up the song...

VMSTE. After all, without guests

Like no friends

It is very difficult to live in the world.

And it doesn't matter

What's after them

Dishes need to be washed... /Doorbell. GOAT comes./

Goat. Dear Leopold, I congratulate you on your birthday! I'm very worried if you like my gift. This is Bobik's Cube... er... Tobika's Bobik, to be exact...

Dog. Rubik's Cube?

Goat. Yes, how would you know?

Dog. I donated it too.

Goat. Oh, how bad it turned out! ..

Leopod. On the contrary, good! Two cubes are better than one.

Grandmother. And three is even better

Leopod. How three?

Grandmother. Sorry, granddaughter, I bought you this cube too. /gives./

Leopod. Amazing. Now we will arrange a competition to see who can solve the Rubik's Cube the fastest.

Grandmother. Compete while I watch the pie. /Leaves./

Leopod. Get ready! /All three sit facing the audience./ Let's start!

/ Music, to which all three rhythmically collect cubes, with the last chord, everyone simultaneously raises the collected cubes above their heads. Doorbell. A PIG in a sundress enters. Instead of a nose, a round patch, this is White in disguise, /

Pig. Sorry, I'm uninvited, but we pigs do it that way. I am your new neighbor.

Leopod. Hello, please come in, you will be a guest.

Pig. But I am not alone. I had no one to leave the child with, I brought him with me, / rolls out a big stroller, / Here he is, my little pig! My piggy!

/ The head of a Piglet with a piglet protrudes from the stroller, This is Gray in a children's cap. /

Piglet. Mother! Give me a cheese sandwich!

Pig. It's too early for you to have a sandwich.

Leopod. But why? If the child wants, let him eat for health, Take it, baby. /Brings a plate of sandwiches to the stroller. Two hands stick out, pour sandwiches into the stroller, return an empty plate. /

Dog. Isn't it bad for a little one to eat that much?

Pig. Nothing, we, the pigs, so accepted.

Goat. And how much is yours?

Pig. Ours? One year old. With a ponytail.

Goat. It's strange ... A year old, but he says how big he is.

Pig. Yes you? He only knows a few words.

Piglet./pokes his head out of the carriage/, Mom! Give me Pepsi Cola!

Dog. Little kids shouldn't have Pepsi Cola! Drink milk.

Piglet. Drink milk yourself! I want Pepsi Cola!

Leopold. Okay, okay, baby. I think one sip won't do anything to him. /Hands out the bottle, Gray drinks it all, gives back the empty one./

Grandmother/from the kitchen/. Come here help me.

Leopold. Excuse me, friends, I'll leave you for a minute. /Leaves./

/ Piglet starts whimpering. The pig is rocking the stroller. Everyone crowded around the stroller, trying to calm the child. The pig, taking the opportunity, moves away from the carriage, rushes to the buffet, looking for "Ozverin" there. /

Dog. Calm down, calm down, little one. Come on, play with the dice...

Piglet. I don't want a cube!

Goat. But look, what a beautiful box... Play with the box...

Dog. What are you doing?! This is the strongest medicine - "Ozverin"!

"Ozverin?

Piglet. Where is Ozverin?

Dog. Replace the box immediately.

Piglet. I want Ozverin! I want Ozverin!

Pig. Stop torturing your child! Give him the box.

Dog. As a doctor, I say no!

Goat. You, dear; too loose your child!

Pig. I know better than you how to raise children.

Goat. No, you don't. He will grow a pig into a pig.

Pig. And you are a goat!

/ Taking advantage of the quarrel, Gray gets out of the carriage, goes on tiptoe to the box with "Ozverin". The dog notices this./

Dog. What else is this?! /Grey freezes./ It's not a pig! /Comes up to Gray, takes off his patch./ It's a mouse!

Goat./ Pig /, And you are not a pig! /Removes a snout from her./ Shame on you! Deceivers!

Dog. Have you decided to spoil the holiday for our respected Leopold? Will not work!

Goat. While he did not see, get out for good, for health.

White. Think! Frightened. „ / Gets into the carriage. / Driver, move! Go!

/Grey takes away the stroller with White. Leopold and Grandmother appear with a birthday cake in their hands./

Leopold. Well, here, dear guests, the festive cake is ready! Where is the pig?

Goat. Uh ... The fact is that this pig turned out to be.

Dog/interrupts/. It turned out that a hundred pig forgot to turn off the iron. She wildly apologized that she could not stay and asked me to convey her heartfelt greetings to you! "? hello.

Leopold. Thank you, And now I ask you to the stele!

Dog. Wait a minute! Before we sit down at this beautiful table; I want to congratulate our dear Leopold.

Leopold. But you already congratulated me.

Grandmother. Dear guests! Everything will cool down! Sit at the table

Dog. I'm sorry, but as a doctor, I want to ask everyone to wash their hands before eating. / Everyone except the horse goes to the kitchen to wash their hands, the mice get out of the Horse costume and start rolling on the floor and screaming, Help!!! Everyone returns from the kitchen /

Leopold. What's happened?

Grandmother. So your bellies have risen, how rich the dough is.

Grey. Doctor, help! Do something!

Dog. Now I will introduce you "Antibryuhin".

Grey. I'm sorry, huh?

Leopold. Okay, so be it. I have forgiven you so many times; forgive me this time too

Grandmother. Well, when are we finally going to sit down at the table?

/ Everyone sits down. Mice modestly stand aside./

Leopold. Guys, why don't you sit down?

White. Can we too?

Grey. No one has ever invited us to a table yet.

Leopold. Sit down, sit down and make yourself at home.

/Mice join the guests. Candles are lit on a festive cake. Leopold rises with a glass of milk in his hand./ My friends! Tell me, when do you and I feel especially good?

Goat. When we watch cartoons.

Dog. When we walk outdoors.

White. When we eat cheese..

Grey. With crust.

Leopold. And I think that we feel especially good when there are Druzes around us. With friends it is always fun, interesting and you feel so strong that you don't need any "Ozverin". In short, guys...

ALL. Let's live in peace!,. Hooray! .

Leopold. And now, according to tradition, let's extinguish the candles on the festive cake. / The guests blow on the candles, but the candles do not go out. /... No, it can be seen without our friends /points to auditorium/ we can't do it here either. Well, all together! .. / Blow; candlelight with the audience. Candles go out. The melody of the final song enters, Leopold takes the Mice by the hands, the rest of the participants join them. /

Leopold. Let's forget everything that was

I have long wanted to say

That it's stupid to waste strength on a fight,

We need it for good deeds.

ALL. The sun shines brighter

sparrow chirping,

Good to live in the world

Leopold. I'm not a coward, I'll tell you honestly

I just think like this:

Enough space on the vast earth

For mice, cats and dogs.

ALL. The sun shines brighter

A sparrow chirps. Good to live in the world
