(CLEARING THROAT)

Friends, loved ones,

I've gathered you all here to tell you something important.

You see I... I...

(GROANS) Just spit it out!

Yeah, Mickey. You're amongst friends.

You can tell us anything.

Yeah, Mick. Tell us!

So, uh, you know how it's my birthday tomorrow?

ALL: Yeah.

And you know how much I like my birthday.

ALL: Yeah.

Maybe we could

(SQUEAKY, HIGH-PITCHED VOICE) skip the surprise party this year?

ALL: What?

(WHISPERS) Skip the surprise party.

ALL: What?

(YELLS) Can we please skip the surprise party?

Oh.

Gosh, Mick.

We thought you loved your surprise party. (SWITCH CLICKS)

Uh... I wouldn't say love.

(MUSIC PLAYS ON TV)

ALL: Surprise!

(SCREAMS)

You might say traumatized.

(TOOTH SQUEAKING)

ALL: Surprise!

(SCREAMS) (REMOTE CLICKS)

Or terrified.

ALL: Surprise! (SCREAMS)

MICKEY: Horrified.

ALL: Surprise! (SCREAMS)

Paralyzed.

(TIRES SCREECH)

(EXPLOSION)

But love, yeah, I think not.

I know my surprise party is your way of showing how much you care.

But how about we do something small?

Like, um... (GASPS) A birthday cake.

That's a great idea! Yeah!

I believe the correct pronuncification

is (SPUTTERING) "burfday."

So, you guys promise?

No surprises?

You're the birthday boy. Absolutely.

Oh, boy! This is gonna be the best birthday ever!

(SPUTTERING) Burfday.

(BIRDS TWEETING)

My birthday!

No surprises.

(ALL GASP, GROAN)

Oh, no. You call that a cake?

This is no "happy" birthday cake!

I need a cake that shows Mickey how much he means to us.

(CRYING) Something big!

Not just big. Really, really big.

Not just really, really big.

Really, really, really big!

GOOFY: Not just really, really, really big.

Oh, Donald. The surprise-free birthday boy is ready for his cake.

Waiting to surprise me.

Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.

They could be here! They could be there!

No more surprises! I can't take any more surprises!

Hey, pal.

I know you're scared, and you just want to curl into a ball and hide,

but your friends need your help.

So, it's time to surprise yourself and go save your friends!

You're right, I mean, I'm right.

Minnie, if you can hear me, I just want you to know

it isn't the size of the cake that matters,

but the size of the heart that bakes it.

The size of the heart.
