Blast it all! That moaning mongrel is at it again! Crying, crying, crying! I’ll give him something to cry about. (tripping over the stool) Ouch! (crashing into the closet) Oh! That pesky pooch has yapped his last yap!
Whopper, baby cakes, what’s the problem-o?
Something was after me. Yeah. (imagining it was a ghost, vampire and the army of werewolves) It was a ghost. Oh! Vampire had once to suck your blood. No, no. It’s an army of puppy-eating werewolves. (howling)
Nose MarieNow, Whopper sugar, you just had another little old bad dream.
Jumping jelly beans! How are we ever gonna stop Whopper’s creepy crawly spooky nightmares?
With some good old puppy power magic. Abracadoggy-dabra!
Boy, oh boy! Whopper, you gotta get some new dreams.
(rubbing her eyes) Yeah. I’m super glad that one’s done.
Nose Marie
Now all we have to do is get you over your little ol’ fear of the dark.
No. That’s impossible. No way. Can’t be done, can it?
Hey. That spooky jazz-a-rooney is just your imagination working overtime.
It’s the place in your head where you make stuff up, and you got the wildest and wackiest imagination in the whole pound.
But I’m not making it up! It’s really dark and scary!
Nose Marie
Whopper honey, the dark is just the same as daytime only with a little ol’ lights turned out.
And I know just how we can prove it.
Finding gums for all the other puppies is as easy as gumdrops.
(yawning) But now that Katrina is on vacation.
Nose Marie
Are you sure you don’t want the little old night light, Whopper?
Nah. Tonight, Wonder Whopper is gonna have nothing but sweet dreams. Thanks to all my puppy pals. Goodnight, everybody. (turning off the lamp)
Mother’s Day is that special date when you tell your mum she’s super great. Serving her breakfast on a tray says “I love you” in a wonderful way. But it’s not a gift or the size of amount. It’s the love that comes with it that makes it count. Yes. Mums are the best without any doubt, and that’s what Mother’s Day is all about.
I sure wish we had a mum to honor today.
But Nose Marie is just like our mum, isn’t she?
Yeah. This’ll be her nifty special day, cos we’ll do all the work for her.
We could call it Nose Marie Day! (howling)
Say, Nose Marie, we have a surprise-aroo for you!
Nose Marie
Not now, Cooler honey. That new little old pup named Freddie is loose upstairs and Katrina has him on the run.
Get into that cage, you filthy mongrel!
And don’t show your smelly doggy face again.
Well, don’t just stand there, you two. Where are they?
My gifts. It’s Mother’s Day. I’m a mother. Where are my gifts?!
Oh. Here, Auntie Katrina. (She shows Katrina) I made this card myself. Roses are red. Violets are blue. Nobody in the world has a mother like you.
Ooh, isn’t that sweet? (ripping the Mother’s Day card) I hate sweet! This isn’t the gift! I want merchandise! I hope you did better, Brattina.
You betcha. (She shows Katrina a present) Happy Mommy Dearest Day.
A plant? Uck! It disgusts me.
But it’s special, Mommy Dearest. It’s an icky-poo Puppy-Eating Plant.
Puppies, puppies, puppies!
Oh, Brattina! It’s a Mother’s Day dream come true! (kissing Brattina)
Eww! Totally gross me out, why don’tcha!
I love puppies! Puppies! Puppies!
Nose Marie
Freddie dumpling, don’t you worry about that silly old vegetable. We’re going to get you adopted, just as soon as I clean you up with a little old bath.
Whoa! Hold on there, ma’am. This here is Nose Marie’s Day, which means you don’t do Narry no work at all. Yeah.
Nose Marie
But…
No buts about it. We’ll get Freddie a super-duper bath.
With my new improved Bath-O-Matic!
Nose Marie
Oh. This pampered life is boring.
Nose Marie
Oh. Sounds like a certain sleepy head needs a nap.
(yawning) Yeah, but I can’t fall asleep with a bedtime story.
Nose Marie
Then your all sit right back and listen, Freddie. Bedtime stories are my specialty. “Once Upon a little old Time…”
Stop! Don’t say another word.
Nose Marie
What?
It’s your day off, remember? We’re doing all your chores for you.
Including bedtime stories.
(pushing Nose Marie to the door) So go relax, Nose Marie.
Nose Marie
Oh, fiddly dee! This relaxing is becoming downright exhausting. (sighs)
But who’s going to tell me a story?
(as an old man) The little old storyteller me. Oh, Freddie, my pup. Did I ever tell you about the time I barked at a kitty? Uh, no. I mean a tiger… No, no, no. Was the cat monsters from Mars?
Oh, by cracking! (imagining he was soaring across the milky way in his ship) Them on days. Well, there I was soaring across the street. No. The milky way. When suddenly, they attacked the monster cats. They bombarded my ship with giant killer furballs. Of course, I put up a food fight.
Take that, and that, and that! Oh, by cracking the fur was really flying. Yes, free! Oh, I thought it was a goner.
You’re all gonna be goners if you don’t clean up this mess and pronto.
Sure thing, Cooler. Sorry.
This never happens when Nose Marie tells the story. (hoovering up the feathers) I wish Mother’s Day was over.
Yeah. Then Nose Marie could clean up this mess.
Nose Marie
Well, I’m obviously not needed around here anymore. So I’d best go somewhere where I am needed. (to Puppy Power) Puppy Power, let me see. A loving master just for me.
LMLisa’s Mom
The movers are almost finished, honey.
LDLisa’s Dad
Then let’s get packed with a plane to catch. California, here we come!
LMLisa’s Mom
And Lisa, our new home has a great big backyard, so you can finally have that puppy you’ve always wanted.
A puppy?! Oh boy, I can’t wait.
Nose Marie
And you won’t have to wait, cos this puppy’s coming with you.
Nose Marie
So long, Pound Puppies!
I dug the stinky yucky gunky hole. Nice and deep, Mommy Dearest.
With my Puppy-Eating Plant guarding the plant, no mongrel will ever escape again!
Puppies! Puppies! I love puppies!
Whoa! That is one jumbo economy-sized vegetable.
Well, it’s been a long day, riding the range partner. And those cow pups are plumb. Dog-type took her out.
Which mean we’re bushed. How does Nose Marie do it every day?
Beats the fleas out of me, but we have puppy proof of how important Nose Marie is to us. So let’s go tell her.
That might not be so easy. Nose Marie is gone!
She left a note. (reading) Dear gang. I’ve gone to get myself adopted. I just hope my new master likes me.
Like her? I love her. She’s the most wonderful puppy ever.
LMLisa’s Mom
Well then, I guess we’ll just have to take her to California with us.
Nose Marie
(barking squeakily)
LDLisa’s Dad
Come on, Lisa. We don’t wanna miss our flight.
(reading continuously) If all goes well, I’ll be flying to California today. I missed you all, but at least I’ll be with someone who needs me. Love Nose Marie.
(howls) This is awful. Nose Marie doesn’t think we need her.
And she’s leaving on a plane for California! Oh, what do we do?
We have to stop her. Pound Puppies, let’s start pounding!
Puppies! Puppies! I love puppies! (picking them up)
Stop it, you overgrown ruta eater! Put them down!
(singing) The icky-poo puppies are gonna be munched! Gonna be munched! Gonna be munched! The icky-poo puppies are gonna be munched! The plant has caught them all!
Eat your puds off us, you overgrown salad bar!
Oh! Now I know why you should eat vegetables, so they eat you!
Oh, I just love little puppies! Love them, love them, love them!
Well, what do you know? He does love puppies. (laughs)
What?! You’re supposed to eat them, not love them, you-you weed!
The only things I eat are people and kitty-cats who are mean to puppies!
To the airport-a-rooney and step on it!
There are some things that even I won’t eat! Ugh!
FRFlight Recorder
Will all passengers please fasten your seat belts and prepare for take-off?
Are you all ready to go, Nose Marie?
Nose Marie
As ready as I’ll ever be, Lisa.
FRFlight Recorder
Flight Niner five to Los Angeles requests our clearance for take-off.
P1Pilot #1
Oh, hold the phone, Flight Niner five. We have unauthorized personnel on the runway.
P2Pilot #2
Correction. We have unauthorized dogs on the runway.
(Imitating siren noise) Hey! Pull over!
FRFlight Recorder
There’s going to be a short delay, folks. We have a bunch of dogs blocking our take-off.
Nose Marie
Howler?
Nose Marie
What are you all doing here?
Nose Marie! Don’t leave us, kiddo! I need you!
HBHowler, Bright Eyes and Whopper
We need you!
The puppy pound just wouldn’t be the same without you.
Nose Marie
I missed you, southern fried goodness!
Nose Marie, what’s going on? Oh. Is Nose Marie your dog?
Well, kind of. You see, we really need her help with the pound.
Well, how about another puppy who’s just as nice and cute? Hi. My name’s Freddie.
Oh. Freddie, you’re perfect.
Whoa. The only way to beat this heat is to think cool thoughts. Like cooler is cool, ice is cool, the lagoon is cool.
Nose Marie
I’m really sick about poor little old Thunderhawk.
He’s drinking more water than the otter. He can’t stand the heat!
What’s the temp up to now, Whopper?
It’s a hundred… a thou… No. A mid-air of core diamond degree!
Welcome, Musketeers, to the Junior Cross Country Dog Sled Race. All teams report to the starting line.
(howls) Ready for the big event, Thunderhawk?
No problem. We’re gonna win for sure.
Nose Marie
Well, just as long as you have fun, darling.
Hey, look! Nahook has a dog! Sort of puny dog, innit? (laughing)
Oh, yeah? Well, we’ll see who’s laughing when I cross the finish line first.
Whoa! Chill out, Nahook. You got to remember. Winning isn’t everything.
You’re right, Cooler. Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.
Quick, we’ll sneakaroo out the back way.
Keep running and don’t look back!
And more importantly, don’t look down.
Nose Marie, I believe the next line is yours.
Nose Marie
Well, thank you, Cooler honey. (clears throat) HELP!!
