(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(WHISTLING)

Hey, it's Mickey Mouse.

Hi, Mickey.

He is so helpful.

Good afternoon, Mickey.

I just wanted to thank you

for your courage and ingenuity on unclogging

that horrible toilet last week.

Thanks. Wow.

You are leading an amazing life, Mick.

Yeah!

To walk in your shoes if only for seven minutes...

That would be sweet!

Oh, shucks, fellas.

Well, your lives are just as amazing.

(SPLATTERS)

(GROWLING) (HORN HONKS)

(THUDS)

(IN MICKEY'S VOICE) Well, that wasn't very nice.

(BOTH GASP)

Golly, what the...

(IN GOOFY'S VOICE) Whoa, Mick, I didn't know you could throw your voice.

I know I can't. (CHUCKLES)

(IN DONALD'S VOICE) Who's that? And that? And that?

(SCREAMING)

Hold it, guys, we've switched places.

This is what we were talking about.

Walking in each other's shoes, literally.

Think of the whole new world we can discover.

I get to be Mickey.

Perfect!

I can't wait for all the love and the attention and gifts.

Hey, Donald. Check me out.

Now, I'm you,

with some fancy duds.

Super handsome. (WOLF WHISTLES)

And I can make my own breakfast!

Come on, fellas, I think we owe it to ourselves

to see how this goes.

BOTH: You said it. (EGG SPLATTERS)

MICKEY: <i>I sure love being tall.</i>

<i>Things are so different</i> <i>up here.</i>

(SOBBING) Mister, my kitty's all the way up in the tree.

(MEOWS)

Oh, hey. I can help.

That nice, tall man saved your life. (KISSES)

(GASPS) Just think,

now my help can reach all new heights.

(GRUNTS) Can't reach...

(MUSIC SLOWS) (PANTING)

Whoa, just a bit winded.

Well, have a nice day.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Okay, let's put this to the test.

(CACKLES)

Holy moly! It's Mickey Mouse!

(ALL CHEERING)

(TRUMPETING)

(ALL CHEERING)

Right this way, Mr. Mouse.

Your private table, sir.

And please remember, everything is on the house.

Because you are Mickey Mouse.

(CHUCKLES)

Thank you, Mickey Mouse.

Ooh-wee!

What better way to kick off being Donald

than flapping these hot wings all the way to Potato Vallarta

(SCREAMS)

(THUDS)

What? I can't fly? (SQUEAKING)

Aw. Hi, little, guys.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(GRUNTING)

Uncle Donald.

(BUZZING)

Where's that dollar I loaned you?

I can't live like this.

Who gets stuck with all the bad luck?

No one but Donald Duck.

(SIGHS) Home sweet home.

(SIGHS) Who knew being tall was so difficult.

How does Goofy manage it? I'm exhausted.

I just want to slip into something comfy and relax.

Shorts are a little tight.

My shoes don't fit either. (GROANS)

(GASPS)

(YELLS)

(GROANS)

Ah, come on, man.

(GROANING)

(SCREAMING)

(THUDS, WATER SPLASHES)

(SQUEAKS)

(WOMAN SCREAMING) Police!

(SCREAMING)

I can't be Goofy.

There he is.

Thanks for saving my cat.

And delivering my baby.

ALL: And winning us the trophy.

MAN 1: You're great. MAN 2: Awesome!

WOMAN: You deserve a medal.

MAN 3: You're the king!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SIGHS) MINNIE: Yoo-hoo.

Surprise hug!

You almost missed our 10-minute anniversary.

(KISSING)

Let's sing our 10-minute anniversary song.

(VOCALIZING)

<i>♪ It's been 10 minutes</i>

<i>♪ May as well have been</i> <i>10 years</i>

<i>♪ Listen with your ears</i>

<i>♪ My heart belongs to you</i> (HEART THUMPING)

<i>♪ I'll never let you go ♪</i>

(SCREAMS) No!

I don't wanna be Mickey Mouse.

I got no control over this goofy body.

Why is everybody hating on Donald?

I think we're done walking in each others shoes.

Now, come on. We got to find a way out of this.

(GROWLS)

(IN NORMAL VOICE) Well, that wasn't very nice.

(LAUGHS) Hey, what do you know? It worked.

ALL: We're back.

Uncle Donald.

There's that peeping Tom.

Mickey!

Where is that dollar I loaned you?

Key Grammar Structures

• I just wanted to thank you for your courage and ingenuity on unclogging that horrible toilet last week.

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose (to + verb)

  ➔ The phrase "to thank" shows the infinitive used to express the purpose of "wanted".

• If only for seven minutes... That would be sweet!

  ➔ Second conditional with "if only"

  ➔ "If only" introduces a hypothetical wish; "would be" is the conditional verb form.

• Well, your lives are just as amazing.

  ➔ Comparative equality with "as ... as"

  ➔ "just as" emphasizes that the degree of "amazing" is equal to an implied standard.

• I get to be Mickey.

  ➔ Modal verb "get to" expressing permission/opportunity

  ➔ "get to" means "have the chance to"; here it shows excitement about becoming Mickey.

• I can't wait for all the love and the attention and gifts.

  ➔ Idiomatic expression "can't wait" + infinitive

  ➔ "can't wait" is used to show strong anticipation; it is followed by the infinitive "for" + noun phrase.

• We’ve switched places.

  ➔ Present perfect with contraction "have" + past participle

  ➔ "We've" = "we have"; the present perfect "have switched" indicates an action completed recently that affects the present.

• I can't be Goofy.

  ➔ Modal verb "can" in negative form with bare infinitive

  ➔ "can't" = "cannot"; it is followed directly by the base verb "be" without "to".

  ➔ Reported speech with past tense reporting verb

  ➔ "thought" is the past reporting verb; the original words are kept in quotation marks to show they were spoken.
