Oh, no. This can't be right. According to my organizer, i'm a loser!
Yep. I'm totally free this weekend.
(Grunts) You? You are totally free? Nothing? I find that hard to believe.
Oh! Problem solved! You're going to festapalooza.
I didn't know it was this weekend. There's gonna be, like, 50 bands there.
Festa...Festapalooza! No way! Festapalooza is legendary. Murray Van Peltin stir-fries his guitar on stage. (Imitates Electric Guitar) And then serves it to the needy. It was crazy!
Well, the concert's not till saturday. How would you know what happens?
Um...Phil gets his tenses confused when he's tired. Sometimes he uses the past tense, sometimes he uses the future tense. Sometimes he's just tense.
I'm hoping that murray, you know, stir-fries his guitar...On stage...Because as we know...That would be really good for the needy. So, I wonder how much tickets are?
That guy is good. I could have used him during my ceramics quiz.
Hey, Dad? I'm pretty sure the hoses in this century aren't thought-activated. you gotta actually squeeze the handle.
Thanks a load, Smarty Trousers. See, every day at this time an ill-mannered dog drops by and leaves a fresh present on our lawn. Today, i'm gonna let him know how i feel about that.
Gotcha. So, while we're waiting, my chance i could borrow 100 bucks to see a concert?
Yeah, you saw the skywriter?
Yeah, I was trimming my nose hairs in the backyard. I looked in the mirror, and i saw it. I thought it said azoolapatsef. Anyway, sorry, Son. You gotta earn that money on your own.
Aw, nut sticks! He did it again! I hate cleaning up after this hound.
Hey, Dad...I'd be happy to clean it up for you.
I don't know why people have so many dogs around here. That's what dogs do, you know. Dog...Dog doo. (Laughs)
Pleasure doing business with you.
No. Thank you. I think you just gave me a great idea.
I got it! I got it! Whoo! Whoo! Hey, Berwick. I'm still not seeing how playing catch with yourself is an olympic sport.
Nana says...That if setting the table was in the olympics, i'd take the gold. Yay! Twistie, twist...
Pim! Oh, cloudy skies! I hurt my pimsy!
Swell, 'cause if you were hurt, you'd have to miss the rest of gym class!
Nope! I'm damaged! Girl down! Girl down!
If it turns out i injured you in any way, i'll never forgive myself!
Whatever. We're out of gym.
I--I--I mean it, Pim. I'll carry your books. I'll hold your food tray. You won't need to lift a finger until that ankle is healed.
Now that you mention it, i'm feeling pretty bad. They may have to helicopter me to one of those fancy ankle hospitals.
NKNurse Krinsky
Hello? Is--is there any visible blood or nasty ouchies?
Thankfully, no, Nurse Krinsky.
NKNurse Krinsky
Oh, good. Whew. You know how queasy i get.
Okay, Pim, I have to go to class now. You be strong now, You hear?
It's so hard to be strong when you feel so very week!
What a brave little soldier! (Sniffles)
NKNurse Krinsky
I hate these x-ray thingies. they give me willies. You're fine. (Sighs) I gotta get another job. You're free to go. I'm sure your friend Debbie will be happy to hear you're okay.
Well, we can't have Debbie happy, now can we?
NKNurse Krinsky
Why not? Debbie likes to be happy. She put smiley faces on all my tongue depressors.
Oh, isn't that sweet? Mama just hatched herself a plan.
(Struggling on crutches) Sorry i'm late, Teach. I narrowly escaped death.
P.B. and J! I feel horrible! Here, Pim, let me help you to your seat.
No, no. I've got to get the hang of this myself. (Groans) Darnsies! I'm so uncoordinated!
Here, let me get that. Don't you worry about a thing, Pim. Until you're healed, I am at your service.
So, what's this business idea of yours?
All right. What's the one thing that pickford is bustling with?
Tomatoes, and...Dogs! Huh? Little ones, big ones, skinny ones, fat ones.
Hairy ones, bald ones, small ones, tall ones. Sorry. I thought we were playing a word game.
And what's the one thing that all dogs have in common?
(Gasps) They...You know. Ugh.
Exactly! At least once a day! And all owners hate to scoop. That's where we come in. We do the job that no one wants to do.
Okay, but can't we offer more service than that?
Phil! I can't just go to a dog's house and not play with them.
Fine. We are a full-service doggy day care. See, the way i figure it, we can have those festapalooza tickets in a couple of days.
Hey, Guys. I just got my ticket. Oh, are you guys still coming to the concert?
Absolutely. Hey, we just started a doggy scooping business. What to join?
It's not just poop! We're full service!
Hey, her loss, right? We're gonna have fun. We'll be our own bosses. We'll be out in the fresh...Almost fresh air! Which reminds me, I actually got Curtis to do some of the dirty work. Hey, C-Man! (Chuckles)
I think it just may be his calling.
Is that fluffy enough for you?
Say no more. You need to be relaxed in order to heal. I'll find you the fluffiest pillow of them all!
Hey, Pim. What happened to you?
Oh, this. Uh...Debbie wants to be a nurse when she grows up, so i let her bandage me. As practice.
Oh, well...that's awfully nice of you.
Helping friends reach their goals...That's why i was put on this earth.
Say, Debbie, What do you think of this ingrown hair i have here?
Hey, Debs, You know, all this being in pain is making me thirsty. Score me a root beer, will ya?
Absolutely. Anything you need.
Oh! And now that you mention it, my spanish homework needs doing. Know what i mean, slappy? (Laughs)
This is Mad Max's house. His owner said he'd be locked inside.
Why do you think they call him Mad Max?
'Cause he sells electronics at rock-bottom prices. "Beware Of The Dog." "It's A Big, Mean Dog. Chomp, Chomp."
"I'd Turn Back If I Were You." Good idea.
Hi, Max. You're sure you're not a bear?
Phil, I think he's mad at us.
Hmm. You think? Let me find out. Uh, see, there's a function on my wizard. It interprets animal sounds. What'cha thinking, Max? Huh? You're all bark, right, pal?
(Male Voice) Another move and i'll rip your appendix out and use it as a chew toy. (Growling)
Mad Max, we're sorry. We didn't mean to disturb you.
But the thing is, if you back up a few feet. We'll be on our way. All right? have a nice day. We'll see you later. Bye-bye.
(Male Voice) Yeah, right. Have a nice day. I got a tick the size of a cockapoo. My master, he went off to college.
Yeah, he was my best friend. Now i just feel like biting something.
Uh, well, i'll tell you, Max. We'll be your friends, huh?
Hmm. Why would you want to be my friend?
Because you seem like a fun guy. Not fun in a laugh-out-loud kind of way, but more of a pleasant grumpiness.
Sure. So it's settled, huh? We'll come by and see you tomorrow. Let us down without...Eating us. Thanks.
See you tomorrow, Maximilian!
(Male Voice) Wow! No one ever calls me Maximilian anymore.
Well, we do, 'cause we're your friends. Let's get out of here.
Yo, aren't you forgetting something? Hey, I left you a little present. I'm sorry. I didn't have time to wrap it. (Chuckles)
You want to get this one? 'Cause my hands are full.
Here comes the choo choo train!
What the--Huh? Debbie, how did you get in my house?
I copied your key at the shoe repair shop in little tokyo. I also gave Mr. Yamaguro all of your platform shoes to be cut down. You'll be wearing flats from now on, my little patient!
How long have i been asleep?
A long time. Did you know that you talk in your sleep? You have a sailor's mouth. You must have cable.
All right, get me out of this thing!
(Stutters) How did you get in here?
(Whimpering) (Male Voice) I let myself in. Oh, Phil, I gotta talk to you.
All right, but make it quick, all right? I'm headed off to festapalooza.
So i found out this morning that Jimmy's not coming home from college this weekend.
Jimmy...Oh, right, your master. Oh, gee, that's too bad. I am sorry about that, Man.
I tell you, I am so bummed. I've been drinking toilet water all day.
Oh, Max, i've tried that, and it's not the answer.
Hey, would a head scratch help?
It wouldn't hurt. Oh, yeah, that's good. Now the ears. Now the neck.
Aw, the chest. That's right. That's the stuff. I remember when i was a puppy and my master picked me up from that pet adoption place. Back then, you could pick me up. (Laughs) That was the happiest day of my life.
Uh, that's fascinating max, but...I'm gonna be late, and my hand's really starting to cramp up, so...
But it's trash day. I thought we could go for a talk and sniff.
Any other day i could, but...I gotta go.
Here's one of my dad's dirty socks. Knock yourself out.
I got my travel wipes, and 2 quarters duct-taped to my calves in case my cell phone doesn't work.
What about that giant foam finger of yours?
(Gasps) Chunks and scraps! I forgot it!
Phil, is there a frog following us?
He's probably trying to follow us to the concert.
FFrog
(Croaks) (Croaking)
Okay, but i'm not sure it'll work on amphibians.
FFrog
I've been looking all over for you, Guys. Mad Max is straight buggin'!
Really? What's wrong with him?
FFrog
I don't know. He busted out of his crib. Said nobody cares. Talkin' about makin' a fresh start somewhere.
But he just came by to see me. I thought he was going home.
Wait, Phil, you knew he was upset, and you just left him?
No! No, I mean...I gave him a sock.
He could get lost! He could get hurt!
FFrog
Yo, he could get jacked.
Yeah, he could get jacked!
All right, Keely, we'll go to the concert. Then, after we get back, if he's still gone, we'll go and look for him.
(Sighs) Do what you want. I'm outta here.
Wait, no...Keely! But he's just a dog!
Yoo-hoo! Yeah, the concert's this way. If she's going home to change outfits...I don't blame her.
No, she's all upset about this dog Max. I--I don't know what she's so freaked out about.
That's Keely. I've known her since the first grade. Yeah, she probably thinks she's doing the right thing.
(Sighs) See, Phil, there are 2 types of people in this world--people like Keely, who are always thinking about other people. Then there are people like us, who i call...Happy people.
So you can't...Do the right thing and be happy?
Well, all i know is my way works. Hey, now, you probably won't be able to get backstage. So i'll see you back at school on...Monday. At least let me sell your tickets! (Scoffs) Unhappy person.
