An American Tail: Tanya's Manhattan Adventure

Chapter 4: Help Wanted.

(We are then seen to be at "Les Club Des Grands Fromages" Where Tanya Mousekewitz slowly opened one of her eyes, then slowly opened both of them up."

Tanya Mousekewitz: (Yawns) Wha, where am I? Hello...

(Then she heard a voice from the shadows.)

Mr. Grasping: Managed to get some rest.

(Tanya looked over towards the shadows and It is revealed that the three mysterious rodents were none other than Mr. Grasping, Mr. Toplofty and Mr. Bloat.)

Tanya Mousekewitz: Yes, I think so...

(She then began to recognize the three rats.)

Tanya Mousekewitz: Hey, I heard of you, didn't my papa use to work for you three? You're those trouble making, cruel, greedy, ruthless, manipulative and opprobrious factory rats that tried to get Cholena killed!

Mr. Toplofty: Ah, yes. We were.

Tanya Mousekewitz: We're...?

Mr. Obloat: Yeah, that was old use.

(Obloat said as a butler mouse brought the Mousekewitz girl a drink.)

Mr. Grasping: Here, drink up. You look starved to death.

(Tanya took a sip and it was actually pretty good.)

Tanya Mousekewitz: Thanks, now mind if I ask why that was the old you? Have you three redeemed yourselves.

Mr. Grasping: Yes, ever since that whole Indian plan went all pear shaped, we've had time to think about how our workers must have felt. So we decided to undo our acts of greed and selfishness by tripling their raises, and even built a special break room for those workers who are exhausted.

Mr. Toplofty: Yes, we know that our workers may be the best, but even the best do get tired, so we're now always wanting help down at our factory.

Tanya Mousekewitz: Really?

(She said as Tanya looked into her allowance purse she kept with her, she only had one lousy dime.)

Mr. Obloat: Yes, say you're down on money yourself.

Tanya Mousekewitz: Yes, I do need the cash, so I suppose if you're looking for more employees, then I could help.

Mr. Grasping: Very well then miss. Welcome aboard.

(Tanya and Mr. Grasping shook paws, then all four of them set off for the cheese factory. Once inside the factory, Tanya was to wrap up cubes of cheese and get them ready so another mouse could take them out to be delivered to stores. Tanya Mousekewitz was doing good, when ten minutes later Mr. Grasping, Mr. Toplofty and Mr. Obloat came to see Tanya.)

Mr. Grasping: How's it going Miss Mousekewitz.

Tanya Mousekewitz: Doing alright... (Sighs Sadly)

(The Factory Rats saw the sad look on Tanya's face.)

Mr. Obloat: What's the matter?

Tanya Mousekewitz: I never meant to end up here, I appreciate your support with letting me help out here, but the truth is I got separated from my family by the flash flood in that sewer.

Mr. Toplofty: Ah, yes. We've heard about that sewer blockage. That was you who got swept into the sewers?

Tanya Mousekewitz: Yeah, and New York City is so big, and it's really big for mice like my family, (Sighs Sadly) I'm never going to find them....

Song #2. Never Say Never.

(She said as a small tear went down her cheek, then Mr. Grasping walked and the three factory rats gave her a confident smile.)
