S1 E5Cat Burglar / Sagwa's Good Deed
[Sagwa was late for dinner even though she had promised to be on time. The scene cuts to Sagwa in the kitchen. Mama Miao and Baba Miao are angry and disappointed because Sagwa broke her promise. And Mama Miao --angrily-- says...!]
(Well, young lady?!) There you are!
They (Dongwa and Sheegwa) were on time for dinner! So they had finished eating!
As I recall, you promised to be on time for dinner! But since you broke your promise, you eat what is left! Plain rice!
[flustered] PLAIN RICE!? THAT IS IT!?
Well!? If you were on time, you could have had steamed fish and bok choy! Now eat your dinner!
S1 E6Harvest Festival Race / The Foolish Magistrate's New Robes
[Dongwa is not pleased that he gave up his snack for their grandparents' anniversary special]
Yeah, all that wasted shrimp.
Oh, no need dear. I've-I've already attended to my grooming.
[Pan on Baba's messy back, with Sheegwa laughing.]
[about her fur cut] I HAVE ESCAPED GREAT DANGER! I AM LUCKY TO HAVE ANY FUR LEFT AFTER WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH!
What? Rain spirit dragons don't spit fire.
S1 E10The Foolish Magistrate's Aching Tooth / Sheegwa and the Blizzard
FFFu-Fu
Me?! You go after him!
Oh no, you go. I'll wait here so I can pounce on him when he comes out. [headbutts Fu-Fu towards the room and laughing slyly] Works every time.
S1 E15Sagwa Rules / Ciao, Meow!
[to Jet-Jet] HUNTING?! But...! [Insert gibberish words here]...!
[Dongwa sneaks behind Sheegwa. Then he --as if also picking on Sheegwa-- puts his paws/hands over his sister's nose and mouth/lips to get her to be quiet. Sheegwa --in reaction-- sulks sadly because her brother Dongwa has his paws/hands over her nose and mouth/lips.]
JJJet-Jet
[turns to Dongwa] SHOULDN'T YOU ALL BE BACK IN THE PALACE...?! ...AND RAIDING CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN YOUR HAIR!?
[Dongwa, Sagwa, and Sheegwa are all soaked because Sheegwa had disobeyed the rules. Dongwa and Sagwa glare at Sheegwa for disobeying the rule about the alley walls. The scene first cuts to Sagwa. Dongwa and Sagwa are glaring at Sheegwa. Then Sagwa, she says to Sheegwa...!]
SHEEGWA? WHAT (ON EARTH) WERE YOU THINKING!? YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE ALLEY WALLS!
[The scene cuts to Sheegwa --who is soaked.]
[Sheegwa --after saying this-- is too stuffy to talk. That is, as she sneezes instead.]
[Sheegwa --from the cold water in the pond-- her nose and sinuses hurt too. The scene cuts to Sagwa. Sagwa holds back anger and becomes concerned about Sheegwa's cold. Sheegwa, she has a cold. In fact, all the kittens --Dongwa, Sagwa, and Sheegwa-- are soaked and have colds.]
[she --Sagwa-- also has a cold] We have to get her inside. She is catching a cold.
[The scene cuts back to the palace. And the kittens --Dongwa, Sagwa, and Sheegwa-- enter the palace with colds and all three of them sneezing. And it was from the pond when Sheegwa fell into the pond from the alley wall and her two older siblings --Dongwa and Sagwa-- tried to rescue them but got themselves cold and wet in the pond too.]
[sneezes a big sneeze] AH-CHOO!
[in between sneezes] Shh! Sheegwa? Mama cannot see us like this.
[Mama Miao sees the kittens having colds --which was from getting cold and wet in the pond-- and becomes concerned about this.]
[to the kittens] Oh my poor dears! What happened?
[in between sneezes] It is all my fault I should not have climbed on the alley wa...wa...! [sneezes an even bigger sneeze]...walls.
Let's get you (three) all dried up and to bed.
S1 E16Explorer's Club / Time for Everything
[to Mama] DONGWA KNOWS HOW IMPORTANT THIS DAY IS! HE HAS BEEN TRAINING FOR WEEKS!
[Before the scribing week.]
FMThe Foolish Magistrate
[to Mama Miao and Baba Miao] I HOPE YOU CATS ARE READY TO WRITE! BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF RULES! RULE NUMBER 1: THERE IS GOING TO BE NO FISHING ON FRIDAYS!
[Mama Miao and Baba Miao look at each other. The Foolish Magistrate continues his rules.]
FMThe Foolish Magistrate
AS I WAS SAYING...! RULE NUMBER 2: THERE IS GOING TO BE NO BASKET WEAVING ON TUESDAYS! (AND RULE NUMBER 3: ON TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS, EVERYONE IN THIS PALACE IS GOING TO BE SCRIBES!)
[Baba Miao angrily glares at the "no anything" rules from the Foolish Magistrate. Since it scribe season, the entire cat family is going to be scribes. So --for the whole scribe season-- there is no fishing on Fridays nor basket weaving on Tuesdays. All activities --including fishing on Fridays and basket weaving on Tuesdays-- are going to be in recess until scribe season is over. Scribe season is going to be on Tuesdays and Fridays. In the meantime, the scene goes back to Baba Miao. Baba Miao turns to Mama Miao and says...!]
[to Mama Miao] CAN YOU STALL?! I AM GOING THERE! AND I AM GOING TO SEE WHAT WAS SO SPECIAL THAT DONGWA WOULD MISS AN IMPORTANT RITUAL!
[to Dongwa] YOU ARE LETTING YOUR SISTER DO YOUR WORK!?
[turning to Sagwa] AND YOU! YOU ARE HELPING YOUR BROTHER TO DECEIVE ME! THAT IS NOT LIKE YOU!
[Baba turns back to both Dongwa and Sagwa and chews them out for Sagwa helping her brother to deceive him and Dongwa making his sister Sagwa do his work.]
[then to both the kittens --Dongwa and Sagwa] WHAT DO YOU TWO HAVE TO SAY TO YOURSELVES?
[Dongwa and Sagwa are shocked into silence. And they do not have an answer at the moment. Baba is not pleased.]
[to Dongwa] WELL DONGWA? UNLESS YOU CAN COME UP WITH AN EXPLANATION ABOUT THIS, YOU ARE BOTH CONFINED TO YOUR QUARTERS (FOR A WEEK)!
[Baba Miao asks Dongwa and Sagwa what they both say for themselves. And when they --Dongwa and Sagwa-- do not have an answer, he --Baba Miao-- tells both of them that they are confined to their quarters for a week until one of them comes up with an explanation for this. Dongwa tries to argue back.]
But Baba...! Tomorrow is the...!
AND THAT IS FINAL! (NOW BACK TO YOUR SCROLLS AND NO MORE MAKING SAGWA DO IT!)
[By the saying of Baba, Dongwa is confined to his quarters for a week. And when Baba says, "AND THAT IS FINAL!", he threatens to take away the outside privileges on both his and Sagwa's and confine them both to their quarters for a year, a decade, a century, or a millennium. In the spite of that, Dongwa complies and resumes back to his Chinese writing on his scrolls.]
S1 E17Comic Opera / Not-So-Purrfect Patient
Are you all right, Dongwa?
Don't move. Sheegwa, go, get Mama. Quick!
I like the way cook wrapped your paw. Does it hurt?
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
If I hadn't moved out of the way. You wouldn't have crashed into the barrel.
Can I do anything to make you feel better?
Well, I am little hungry. I think I saw cook putting away some leftover shrimp last night.
S1 E19Snagged by a Thread / Master of Mistakes
[When Sheegwa becomes a scribe, her stubby tail makes the Chinese character --on the Chinese scroll-- sloppy.]
[to her stubby tail] WHY CAN YOU NOT BE MORE LIKE SAGWA'S TAIL!?
NNOTE
On KCTS 9, "Master of Mistakes" was the first segment and "Snagged by a Thread" was the second. But in reality, "Snagged by a Thread" was the first segment and "Master of Mistakes" the second. They never fixed it.
S1 E24Precious Gift / Lord of the Fleas
[Sheegwa --in the spite of the fact that the jade on Tai-Tai's jade necklace got broken-- is forced to return the jade necklace to Tai-Tai. That is, as the scene cuts to the Magistrate and Tai-Tai's room. Tai-Tai --on the other hand-- unnoticed at first, she is seen at her dressing mirror.]
There really are no "buts"! It is hers (Tai-Tai's). I know it is hard, Sheegwa. You can do it.
[thinking] Maybe I should leave it here. Then Tai-Tai would not notice that I broke it.
[After a few seconds.]
[thinking] No. It is my job to make sure that she gets it back. Broken or not, it is hers.
[Sheegwa lets out a "meow" to get Tai-Tai's attention. Despite the fact that the jade on Tai-Tai's jade necklace is broken, Sheegwa's thought is she should still give back Tai-Tai her jade necklace. Not only that, but she must also tell Tai-Tai the truth. That is, even if the necklace broken makes her --Tai-Tai-- upset. Because no one likes being fooled.]
[Tai-Tai she leans down and sees her necklace. Then she feels touched when Sheegwa brings back her jade necklace.]
TTTai-Tai
My necklace! My necklace is found!
[She looks at her jade necklace. And she notices that it is now broken in half beyond repair. That is, the jade --green gemstone/jewel-- on her necklace. Sheegwa also tells Tai-Tai the truth and apologizes to her.]
TTTai-Tai
[continues looking at the necklace] (That is okay, Sheegwa.) It might no longer be whole. But even a piece of it brings back many of the memories it whispers to me.
[Finally, she reveals her now-half necklace --the now-half jade on her necklace-- and it shows a flashback of Tai-Tai as a young child with her father. It is true. Even though her jade necklace might not be in one piece, even only part of it brings her back the memories it whispers to her. That is, according to her saying.]
TTTai-Tai
Thank you, Sheegwa.
[She happily nods. Then Tai-Tai puts the jade necklace back in the treasure chest.]

Can't you fit through the bars?

[opens robe, reveals Balloon Belly] Nah, too many dumplings.
