‎In the daytime, I'm Marinette,
‎just a normal girl with a normal life,
‎but there's something about me ‎that no-one knows yet
‎because I have a secret.

‎[Tikki] Invite him to a movie, then.
‎[Marinette] Right, Tikki.
‎Imagine that.
‎Hey, Adrien. Would you like to...
‎[spluttering]
‎Exactly. I can't help it.
‎Every time I see him,
‎I get all clammy and I feel like fainting.
‎So you have to be blindfolded ‎to have a normal conversation with him?
‎Pretty much.
‎There is a simple solution.
‎It's called a phone. ‎You just need his number.
‎I know who'll have it.
‎I'm sure you've outdone yourself, Theo.
‎It was my honor. ‎I can't wait to meet Ladybug.
‎I hope she signs my photo.
‎I used it as the inspiration ‎for the statue.
‎It's nearly time.
‎Ladybug and Cat Noir ‎should already be here by now.
‎We know improv's not your bag,
‎so stick to this script.
‎The teachers say ‎I don't sound natural when I read
‎Then memorize it. It's pretty simple.
‎You can do it. ‎Just don't improvise, got it?
‎Forget it. It's never gonna work.
‎Too late.
‎It's dialing.
‎[Ayla giggles]
‎Hey, this is Adrien's voicemail, ‎leave a message.
‎It's gone to voicemail.
‎Leave a message. Don't improv'.
‎Hello, Adrien's voicemail...
‎This is Marinette... who... ‎has a message...
‎for you, of course, ‎because it's your phone, so...
‎[she giggles] ‎Call me, see you later, bye.
‎What did you expect? ‎"Hey, hot stuff. It's Marinette.
‎"I'd ask you out
‎"but I've got such a crush on you ‎that the only way to talk to you
‎"is over this stupid phone."
‎Pretty ridiculous, right?
‎To hear your message, press 1. ‎To erase your message, press 2.
‎Hit 2! Hit 2!
‎Message saved. Goodbye.
‎[she sobs]
‎It's not as bad as you think.
‎Ok, it's bad,
‎but you had to tell him one day, ‎some way or another.
‎Think of it this way, no more secrets.
‎The voicemail recorded ‎my whole conversation.
‎-Big deal. ‎-I called him hot stuff.
‎He can't hear that message, Alya. ‎If he does, I'll die of shame.
‎OK, I've an idea.
‎If his phone went to voicemail, ‎it means he's busy.
‎That means you can get to it ‎before he does.
‎I wonder where he'd be?
‎Of course. He's got fencing after school.
‎That's why he didn't pick up.
‎It ends in 22.5 minutes.
‎You're insane.
‎You know that, right?
‎You have one new message.
‎I gotta get a drink. Be right back.
‎Plagg!
‎You pig!
‎[he burps] ‎You have one new message.
‎Move please, ‎so I can check my voicemail.
‎I don't recognize this number.
‎Oh no, we're late!
‎Time to transform, Plagg.
‎[excited yelling]
‎Yeah!
‎Hey, everybody.
‎They're unveiling Ladybug ‎and Cat Noir sculptures today.
‎I totally spaced.
‎Me too.
‎You never mentioned ‎going to the unveiling.
‎I'm not, I mean I am... ‎I mean, I forgot?
‎Listen, about Adrien's cell phone... ‎What if we go after?
‎After the ceremony, ‎his fencing training will be over,
‎and he'll have his phone back by then.
‎Shoot. I gotta cover this event ‎for the Ladyblog.
‎I'm sorry, Marinette.
‎Don't sweat it. I can manage...
‎I think.
‎-You sure? ‎-Yes, yes, I'm sure.
‎Cool, good luck.
‎Stay out of trouble.
‎And don't improv'.
‎[car horn]
‎Isn't Ladybug supposed to be ‎at the unveiling?
‎Yes, but Marinette needs to be ‎at the school first.
‎But it is a ceremony in your honor.
‎And it's my honor that's at stake.
‎I'll be in and out in 5 minutes.
‎We can be at the ceremony in no time.
‎Excuse me Cat Noir, ‎but Ladybug's not here.
‎Don't worry. She'll be here soon.
‎I can handle it for now. ‎I'm the one in charge anyway.
‎I wanted to ask her to sign this photo.
‎She's amazing.
‎She's so brave...
‎And smart...
‎The way she saves everyone.
‎Perhaps we should commence. ‎It might bring her here faster.
‎Just a minute more, Mayor Bourgeois. ‎She is going to come. I can feel it.
‎In there.
‎[Tikki] Oh boy.
‎Which one's his?
‎Call him. His phone will ring.
‎Nice, Tikki.
‎[phone rings]
‎It's only proper for Paris ‎to pay homage to those who protect us.
‎[Mayor] Ladybug and Cat Noir.
‎Can I get some photos?
‎[Tikki] Hurry, they're finishing up.
‎[phone rings]
‎Here it is.
‎It's locked!
‎Ta-da!
‎These statues are amazing
‎but one thing's off. ‎I'm actually taller than her.
‎Ladybug didn't show. I just wanted to...
‎express my adoration for her.
‎Let her know that everything I had ‎went into her statue..
‎If she took time to get to know me,
‎she'd see how much we have in common,
‎our devotion to the things we love.
‎Hey, don't mean to burst your bubble,
‎but you know, Ladybug and I, ‎we're a thing, you know.
‎-Really? ‎-Yeah, we're like this.
‎What does Ladybug see in him?
‎[phone bleeps]
‎They're coming. Forget it.
‎I haven't erased it yet.
‎We're out of time. ‎We have to get to the ceremony.
‎That was rough.
‎[Cat Noir whistles]
‎"A thing"?
‎You don't even take love seriously ‎calling it "a thing".
‎You don't deserve her.
‎I do!
‎[evil voice] Disappointed by Ladybug
‎and jealous of Cat Noir,
‎the perfect formula for disaster.
‎Fly away, my little Akuma,
‎and evilize him.
‎Hello, Copycat,
‎I'm Hawk Moth.
‎Once you get rid of Cat Noir, ‎you can take his place,
‎and Ladybug will be yours forever.
‎The very thought of it makes me purr.
‎Where is it?
‎What are you looking at me for? ‎I didn't eat it, I swear.
‎How do you listen to messages...?
‎[phone rings]
‎Adrien's looking for his phone.
‎What if he tracks it?
‎He'll figure out I stole it ‎and I'll spend my life in jail
‎and I'll never get to go ‎to the movies with Adrien.
‎You need to get your priorities in order.
‎I know.
‎Some days it feels impossible ‎to balance being Marinette
‎and being Ladybug.
‎Hey, this is Adrien's voicemail, ‎leave a message.
‎It must still be at the gym.
‎Don't mind me. ‎Just stealing this painting.
‎Go about your business.
‎[alarm rings] ‎Hey!
‎[groaning]
‎I gotta get this on camera.
‎And in some astonishing news, ‎there's been a theft at the Louvre.
‎Amateur videos show
‎that the thief is none other ‎than the famous hero, Cat Noir.
‎This painting is the cat's meow.
‎The "cat's meow"?
‎Not only is he a fake, ‎he's a terrible fake.
‎Thanks JD. Now for your weather.
‎Of course Adrien owns ‎a super-expensive hi-tech smartphone.
‎I can't even figure out how it works.
‎It would help ‎if you took off those silly mittens.
‎And risk leaving finger prints? No way.
‎[phone rings]
‎Problem fixed?
‎Almost. I haven't erased the message ‎yet but I'm working on it now.
‎No way. You palmed his phone?
‎Yes... No...
‎I mean... ‎I was planning to give it back.
‎Where are you? I could use some help.
‎No can do.
‎I'm waiting for details ‎on the Cat Noir robbery.
‎What? Somebody robbed Cat Noir?
‎No, girl. Didn't you hear?
‎Cat Noir came in and stole the Mona Lisa,
‎in broad daylight.
‎Ladybug's gonna turn up, ‎and I don't wanna miss it.
‎Chill. I'll be over later.
‎OK.
‎Cat Noir is a lot of things, ‎but he's no thief.
‎Time to transform.
‎Tikki, Spots on!
‎Easy, tigers, you've got the wrong cat.
‎That thief's an impostor. ‎I'm the real Cat Noir.
‎Let me check it out.
‎I have a knack for finding clues, ‎you know, animal instincts.
‎Of course. Come with me. ‎Thanks for your help.
‎Hey. I'm the real Cat Noir.
‎I'm way slicker than that guy.
‎Kitty's in the slammer, ‎I repeat, kitty's in the slammer.
‎Mr. Mayor, this is ridiculous. ‎I'm sure there's a simple explanation.
‎Kitty's in the slammer, Ladybug.
‎Don't think you're gonna...
‎Now, now, leave it to the experts.
‎We've got it under control.
‎Thanks for the hospitality ‎but I gotta split.
‎So, I'll say this one more time. ‎You've got the wrong cat!
‎Cat Noir's getting away.
‎If he's so innocent, ‎why is he running away?
‎If you were wrongly imprisoned, ‎wouldn't you?
‎[police sirens]
‎Requesting assistance. ‎We're in pursuit of the suspect.
‎Cat Noir, what's going on?
‎You know I'm innocent, don't you, Bugaboo?
‎Stop calling me Bugaboo. This is serious.
‎I'm gonna find the culprit ‎and save my tail.
‎I'll get back to...
‎[police sirens]
‎Give yourself up, Cat Noir!
‎Aren't you gonna go after him?
‎I'll leave it to the experts.
‎Come on, let's get him.
‎[adrien whistles]
‎If you want my opinion, ‎I'd say the thief was akumatized.
‎That I figured.
‎See that lollypop stick?
‎The sculptor.
‎How did I not see that jealousy coming?
‎Yours or his?
‎[sarcastic laugh] So funny.
‎Gotcha, Copycat.
‎[bleeping]
‎Cat Noir, where are you?
‎I've found his den.
‎-‎Who? ‎-My copycat.
‎I'm not getting you.
‎If you'd been there this morning, ‎you'd know.
‎Well, tell me where you are.
‎No. This is between me and him.
‎I got myself into this mess, ‎so I'm gonna get myself out of it.
‎Cat? Cat!
‎[bleeping]
‎"Cat's in the bag!"?
‎Cataclysm!
‎I don't get what Ladybug sees in you,
‎a fool who so easily falls into my trap.
‎Looking for this?
‎Which one shall I pick up? ‎My one or my one.
‎[bleeping]
‎Ladybug, hurry, I've caught ‎the imposter at Theo's workshop.
‎I'll be there in 30 seconds.
‎Don't come here, Ladybug, it's a trap!
‎Too late, Cat, Ladybug's on her way, ‎which was my plan all along.
‎She won't be duped. She knows me too well.
‎I know you well, too. And, from now on,
‎she'll love me, not you!
‎Love me?
‎You're right. She loves me.
‎That's why she'll be able ‎to reveal your true identity.
‎Copycat, stop the small talk ‎and get me Cat Noir's Miraculous!
‎[he groans]
‎[whizzing]
‎There you are.
‎[Ladybug] ‎Cat Noir, he really looks like you.
‎That's because I am me.
‎-Where's his Akuma? ‎-Inside his ring of course.
‎Grab it.
‎Ladybug's doing all the work for us, ‎what sweet irony.
‎[bleeping]
‎He even has the same powers as you.
‎Simply amazing, isn't it?
‎If you don't believe I'm Cat Noir,
‎ask him about our love for each other.
‎Have I ever lied to you, Bugagoo?
‎I hope you didn't tell him about us.
‎What?
‎That we're... you know...
‎We made a secret promise.
‎Yes... Of course.
‎We never made a promise,
‎Copycat!
‎I love you, Ladybug.
‎I'm way better than this mangy alley cat!
‎Sorry, liars are losers.
‎Cat Noir may annoy me, ‎but he's never lied to me.
‎Thanks for the compliment... I think.
‎Do it now, take his Miraculous!
‎If I can't have you... then nobody will.
‎Cataclysm!
‎Let's wrap this up.
‎Lucky Charm!
‎A spoon? ‎What am I supposed to do with this?
‎Excellent job, Milady.
‎Where's his Akuma?
‎Photo in his pocket. Let's make it snappy.
‎[cackling] You're going
‎to change back before me.
‎He's pretty good.
‎Don't rub it in.
‎I told you I was better than him.
‎But I'm better than both of you.
‎-Hey, it's me. ‎-He's lying. I'm the real one.
‎Now you're both annoying me.
‎Show me your ring. ‎How many pads do you have left?
‎[bleeping]
‎Cat Noir, scratch attack!
‎Gladly. I love a good cat fight.
‎Time to go Akuma fishing.
‎No more evil-doing for you, little Akuma.
‎Time to de-evilize!
‎Gotcha.
‎Bye-bye, little butterfly.
‎Miraculous Ladybug!
‎Nice catch.
‎I'm glad you could tell ‎the real Cat from the fake.
‎Once I figured out ‎which cat really loved me,
‎it was a no-brainer.
‎Better help him out. ‎His crush just got crushed.
‎That makes two of us.
‎What am I doing here?
‎Ladybug?
‎Sorry I couldn't make it ‎this morning, Theo.
‎Can you sign it for me?
‎Of course I can.
‎You've got some real artistry here.
‎You really captured my essence.
‎Thank you, Ladybug.
‎And don't worry, ‎I know about you and Cat Noir, it's OK.
‎Didn't find it.
‎To hear your message, press 1.
‎To erase your message, press 2.
‎Your message has been erased.
‎I'm gonna tell him I found his phone.
‎That'd be a good way to start ‎a conversation, wouldn't it?
‎Then I'll ask him out.
‎That's my girl.
‎[Nino] Maybe you dropped it.
‎Then whoever has it ‎found it in the locker room.
‎[Alya whispers] Do it now.
‎I had it during fencing practice.
‎What in the...?
‎I already looked in here.
‎You need some time off.
‎I know, let's go to the movies.
‎Hey, dudes, ‎mind if a few friends tag along?
‎Sure thing!
‎Yay!
