So this is the Hall of Puppy Power. What happens now?
It’s every pup’s dream come true. A happy home and loving master.
Hey, that’s me! And who’s that? Is that gonna be my master?
Nose Marie(Off-screen) Well, maybe. But if a puppy does things like snitching cookies.
(Off-screen) Or playing practical jokes.
(Off-screen) Or fooling with things he shouldn’t.
That puppy will never get a master. It’ll be a pound bound hound.
Nose Marie
You see, Buddy, we know you did all those things and we know Bob isn’t real.
What? He is too real and he’s a better friend than any of you guys. (storming off)
Whoa. Took it pretty hard.
(Off-screen) Well, you are kinda rough on him.
(becoming visible) After all, he does believe in me. He wasn’t lying on purpose.
Nose Marie
I don’t believe it!
And you’re a dinosaur! Neato!
What were you expecting? A giant bunny rabbit?
Hey. Quit yanking my leash. You’re not real. So, uh, how can we see you?
Puppy Power made me visible. Up till now, I’ve only lived in Buddy’s mind. You see, Buddy’s been all alone since he was born. So he made me up. We play together, but I’m just pretend. Buddy needs a real friend.
Nose Marie
Somewhere, there must be a boy who needs a friend like Buddy.
You know, I have a cousin who’s the make-believe friend of a lonely boy named Colin.
Ooh! Tell us everything, Bob-a-loo.
Well, you see, Colin was that something that was about… (whispers)
Nose Marie
Yoo-hoo, Buddy? Where are you, dumpling?
(Off-screen) In here, guys!
Whoa! What’s shaking, kiddo?
I just cooked up some dog biscuits.
Nose Marie
What on earth for?
For you, guys. After I ate the ones Nose Marie made, it’s the least I could do.
It’s my way of saying sorry for all the stuff I did wrong. And as for Bob, he’s not really real. He’s just pretend.
(becoming visible) I filled him in, Buddy.
And now, Buddy, my buddy, it’s time to take you to meet your new master. Pound Puppies, let’s start pounding!
Oh, boy, you got to get a master.
Uh-oh, a pupscalator jam. We gotta push him through! Buddy’s up here all alone!
Uh! Why did Buddy have to have such a big imagination?
Now, with these new padlocks, I’m going to lock you pups away forever.
Eww, look, Mommy Dearest! It’s that yucky runaway dog!
Nothing can save the icky-poo troublemaking bow-wow now.
Oh, no! It-It feels like an earthquake!
KBKatrina and Brattina
Oh!
What is that, Mommy Dearest?
I don’t know, but it’s not getting in here!
That should teach Katrina not to be so cagey. (laughs)
CColin
Pretty funny comic, huh, Sam?
SSam
(laughs) I’ll say. There they are.
SSam
Hiya, Bob. (He comes to see Bob) Yeah, I’ve been expecting you, guys.
Is that him? My new master? Oh, I’m so nervous. Do you think you’ll like me?
SSam
Only one way to find out.
CColin
Sam. Sam, where are you? Hey, where’d you come from? Well, don’t be afraid. Come here, boy. Come to Colin.
(referring to Colin and Buddy) What do you know? They’re playing.
Nose Marie
A match made in Puppy Heaven.
CColin
Sit, boy. Good dog. Now, wait here a second. Hey, mum! Can I keep a puppy?
Hey, Bob. He likes me. Just wait till he meets you.
Oh, but I can’t stay here, Buddy.
What do you mean? We’re a team, best friends. Where I go, you’ll go.
CColin
Mum said yes. I could keep you. Hey, where’d the puppy go?
This is your big chance for a real home, Buddy.
And I don’t wanna see you lose it. Go on. (He pushes Buddy back in)
We’ll be invisible friends to other lonely pups and kids. And remember, Buddy, anytime you think of me, I’ll be right here.
Right here. (He hugs Buddy)
Hey, don’t mention it, pal.
CColin
Where’d my little Buddy go? Here, Buddy!
Well, not alone anymore. Time for us to go, Sam.
And, uh, when you find those lonely kids and puppies, you know where to send them.
A little further. Yes, yes, a little further. Y… Ah, ah, ah. Hold it right there.
What are those stinky bricks for, Mommy Dearest?
(looking at the security pound on the paper) To build my new maximum security pound. This wall will stop Cooler and his motely mutt cold, like being hit with a ton of bricks.
Oh! Just kill me already, why don’tcha!
Oh, brother! Get a load of what the bad guys are up to this time.
(singing) I’ve been putting up the brick wall
This time, I will win
(singing) She’s cementing up the brick wall
To keep the yucky doggies in
Can’t you hear our cheers and shouting
(singing) Locking up the mutts we had
(singing) Cooler and screams are shouting
KBKatrina and Brattina
(singing) Cos they finally met them up
(screaming and then he stops running) You know what? I’m scared. (screaming and running again)
Woo! A little game of Catgut and mouse, and it looks like Catgut hates meeces to pieces.
Eww! A mouse! Icky-icky-icky-poo yuck!
Get him off me, Catgut! Get him off!
Nose Marie
Sakes alive! That’s no mouse! That’s a little bitty muffy doggy!
Bra-Bra-Bra-Bra-Bra-Brat-t-t-ti-ti-ti-tina! Whoa!
Nose Marie
We have to save that cute little old pup!
(Angry with her) Just for this, Brattina: You’ll get no stewed prunes for a week!
Nose Marie
Settle down, honey lamb. Nose Marie won’t hurt you. You’re safe with me.
(sighs) That really warms to cockles of my heart. Whatever those are. (laughs)
Cooler, maybe the teensy puppy could use my Dolly’s house for a home.
Absotutely, guys. Hey, not a bad name for him either, Teensy.
Nose Marie
Sleep tight, honey lamb, in pleasant dreams.
Hiya, Teensy! Want to see my dirt collection?
Nose Marie
Oh, Whopper! I just had him all calmed down and you went and uncalmed him again!
Maybe he’s so scared of dirt.
(to the audience) You know what? I’m scared of everything.
Okay, kid. Put it right there, kid! Come on, kid! You can do it, kid! Give it the old pepper, kid!
Perfectamundo, kid! Hey, Teensy, my pup. Mellow out. No one’s gonna hurt you down here.
We’re all super-duper fun loving puppies just like you!
Yeah. Just like you except we’re a milli… a trill… a kabillion times bigger. Yeah.
Nose Marie
Don’t you pay no never mind to that, sugar plum. Size doesn’t matter. It’s what’s in here that counts.
Nose Marie
Let’s see how this works out, honey lamb.
Nose Marie
Nonsense! Like my grandmother used to say “Where there’s a pound puppy, there’s a way.” (gasps) I’ve got it. Here’s Nose Marie’s little old secret recipe for a teensy meal. Take one slightly beat up rubber glove. (cutting finger gloves) Add an empty salt shaker, fill it to the brain with cold fresh milk, mix in a little magic, and before you say “Bye, you baby.” You’re dining like a southern puppy king!
(to the audience) You know what? I’m happy.
Well, after two weeks with us, puparoo, you seem to be getting along just dand-dand-danding.
Whoa! Either my ears are on the fritz, so Holly’s trying to contact me with Puppy Power.
You might call it radio station K-Pup that plays nothing but love songs.
Nose Marie
(to Cooler) Puppy love songs, that is.
Hi, everyone. I’ve got great news! I found a perfect home for Teensy. This little girl lives in an apartment, and a small puppy like Teensy would fit in just right. Auntie Katrina’s away buying more bricks, so now’s the time to get him out. I’ll meet you upstairs.
Nose Marie
(gasps) Home? For Teensy?
Of course-a-rooney. Remember the Pound Puppy model, neither rain, no snow, no Katrina Stoneheart.
From delivering neato puppies.
AAll
(singing) To happy home!
Nose Marie
I know. I just didn’t think he’d have to leave me so soon.
Teensy, this is your new home.
Are you coming with me, Nose Marie?
Nose Marie
No, sweetie pie. You live with a nice little girl here.
(crying) I don’t want to leave you, Nose Marie!
Golly gee willikers! No pup’s ever not wanted to be adopted before.
Yeah, this could put a bad mark on our whiz-bang success record.
Ah! I don’t wanna be a bad mark! I just want to stay with Nose Marie!
Don’t worry, Teensy. We’ll find another puppy for this little girl.
Nose Marie
And we’ll take you back to the little old pound with us.
(hugging her) Thank you, Nose Marie!
Whoa! Looks like the spring is sprung. Which means, Nose Marie, it’s time to snip the apron strings and find Teensy a home. Before he eats us out of ours.
Nose Marie
I’m powerfully fond of him, but I can barely lift his food dish anymore. (to Teensy) Teensy, dinner time!
Nose Marie
You’re right, Cooler. I guess it’s time to get Teensy adopted.
Adopted? But I don’t wanna leave, Nose Marie. (crying) Whoo, is me!
Nose Marie
Teensy, sugar plum, everyone has to leave the nest some time and we’ll come and visit at your new home.
Positively, Teensy, my pup.
Nose Marie
And remember, honey lamb. Just let out a little old howl, (howling) and I’ll come running.
There it is, Teensy. Your new hap-hap-happy home.
Well, I guess this is goodbye, Nose Marie.
Nose Marie
Oh! But I don’t want you to go!
Now, now. Everyone has to leave the nest some time. Besides, I’ll come visit ya.
Nose Marie
You promise?
Positively! And remember, just let out a howl, (howling) and I’ll come running.
(to the audience) You know what? I’m happy.
Nose Marie
You know what? So am I.
Nose Marie
Oh, no! All the news! It can’t be!
If I didn’t know better, I’d say that looks like Bright Eyes.
(howling) It is Bright Eyes.
NNewscaster
We’re here at Bruno’s Meat Market scene of a bold robbery. Mr. Bruno, what exactly happened?
BBruno
Well, I was slicing veal cutlets when this here vicious criminal-type canine comes in and steals my weenies.
Nose Marie
We have to stop Bright Eyes before she strikes again!
Yeah. If she stole weenies, she may be building up to b-b-baloney’s.
Pound Puppies, let’s start pounding!
(Off-screen) Puppy Power, (howling) we have another puppy for you.
This little dude would like a home.
Nose Marie
One from which you’ll never roam.
Search the city from up above and find this pup a child to love.
(barking) I wanna live with her! (rushing off and wearing a bobble hats and a scarf) When can we leave?
Gee! You’re not in a hurry or anything else, are you?
We’ll pupscalate upstairs and have you adopted before you can say… Katrina Stoneheart.
Keep your eyes peeled, Brattina. I have a feeling something big is about to happen. Aha! There’s a big dopey mutt just asking to be caught! (She realizes it is Howler shaped hot-air balloon) Oh!
No sweat, Mommy Dearest! I’ll smell those flying furballs!
Uh-oh. Looks like we are the catch of the day!
(singing) I’ve got the stinkers! I’m going to stink ‘em!
You mangy mutts! Put us down!!
Okay, crew! Up, pup and away!
There you go, Henry. One cute little puparoo as promised.
Nose Marie
You’re sure your little ol’ parents said it was okay?
HHenry
I’m sure. (giggling) Come on, Toby. Let’s show you to mom and dad, and thanks, Pound Puppies.
Nose Marie
Bless my dog bones! Little ol’ Whopper must be having a nightmare again.
We better be pound bound before he wakes up Katrina.
