Excuse me? Is this the meeting of alley cat’s anonymous?
Bright EyesCooler!
Oh, and I see you started the festivities without me. Rats! I miss all the fun! (giggles)
Oh, oh, really? Bright Eyes and I would just love to stay in party with you, kitties, except the… Hey! We’re allergic to catnip! (giggles) Ciao for now! But let’s do lunch real soon, gang!
Bright Eyes
Aww, thanks, Cooler. You saved my life.
(laughs) Anytime, Bright Eyes! Anytime! But just tell me one thing. Where have you been?! We’ve been looking everywhere for you!
Bright Eyes
I’m sorry, Cooler. I’ve just been out wandering around, hoping to find myself a home. I sure wish somebody would adopt me.
And as fearless leader of the Pound Puppies. It’s my swarm duty to help this pup get adopted into a hap-hap-happy home!
Bright Eyes
(giggles) Cooler, you’re a coup!
And so the heroic crook carries the fair damsel dog in distress back to the puppy pound, where a big surprise is awaiting her! She may find a new home yet because deli people from all over are coming to the pound to adopt… Pound Puppies!
Psst. Hey, Bright Eyes, how about an autograph?
Bright Eyes
Cooler! Nose Marie!
Shh! We don’t want to disturb the great Hollywood director.
Yeah. So tell us, kid. What’s it like being a famous actress?
Bright Eyes
Oh, it’s so boring! All I do is sit around all day waiting for my next scene to be shot.
Well, your last performance got rave reviews, darling. It was in just all the papers.
Bright Eyes
(reading) “Dog steals fortunes and gems.” Oh. Oh, no! Oh, what have I done?
Bright Eyes
I’ll say. This picture could ruin my career. Well, that settles it. I’m retiring from show business.
Eh, not quite yet, Bright Eyes. To clear your name, you have to give a final farewell performance.
Bright Eyes
Oh. Very well. I suppose I owe it to my public.
Uh, yeah. So, here’s what I want you to do, (whispering in her ear).
Bright Eyes
I like it. I like it! (giggles)
SQSammy Quentin
What? “Katrina Stoneheart buys world’s largest ruby?” I don’t believe it! My old friend Katrina! (laughing) This should be like taking candy from a baby! (laughing again) Oh, Bright Eyes, I’ve just found your next starring role! In fact, we’ll start filming tonight.
Bright Eyes
I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Bright Eyes
And this is where you’ll stay until some nice person comes to adopt you.
SShaky
(gasps) Person? Uh-uh. No way, Jose. I’m not going near any one of those people things.
Uh, don’t be afraid. I’m not gonna hurt you.
Shaky, hey, hey! Mellow out, kid! It’s just Holly. What’s your beef?
SShaky
It-It’s those bad humans. You can’t trust them.
Yeah, I know what you mean. We don’t trust the bad ones, either.
SShaky
You-You-You don’t?
Of course not! But not every human is bad. So listen up and dig this dog tale about one of the good ones.
Okay, team, we’ve got just one chance to save the pound from the clutches of our rival… (flipping round the board) Katrina Stoneheart!
We have to score the big touchdown and find Millie’s will! Pound Puppies, let’s get pounding!
Bright Eyes
2, 4, 6, 8! Who do we depreciate?
HNHowler, Nose Marie and Whopper
Cooler! Cooler! Hooray!
I love a team that respects its coach. (laughs)
Alas and the lack! We’ll never find that little old will.
(popping out Howler’s hat) And we mean everywhere.
Bright Eyes
(exhausted) 2, 4, 6, 8! Can’t find the will! It’s getting late!
Don’t give up now, team. It’s always darkest before the dawn.
But, Cooley honey, it’s past dawn. The rooster has already crowed his last cock-a-doodle-doo.
This is no time for chickening out, Nose Marie. We still have till 10am.
But no food and no money, I’ll have to close down the pound.
Bright Eyes
Don’t worry, everybody. We’ll get by without money or food. We can live on love!
(chuckles) How’s that sound to you, Cooler honey?
I’d rather have some loose change in a baloney sandwich, thank you very much.
Bye, Holly! We’re going to the dog hater’s convention! Yah!
And we won’t be back until late tonight.
So try to hose yourself up before we get back.
Aren’t we the mean ones though!
(scoffs) If abate’s so terribly ladylike, I’d give Katrina’s ankle bone a severe nibbing.
It’s for Whopper. Dear Nephew, stop. I’m stopping by puppy pound today for brief. Stop, stop. Your Uncle J.R. Whopper. Stop. Stop, stop.
And throw in an extra eek for me!
HBHowler and Bright Eyes
Help!
It’s a genious houstin… a sizzling roasted… uh… (howls) It’s a great big spook!
Oh, sakes alive! Is there no one who can save us from this fate worse than a flea bath?!
There’s no need to fear. Wonder Whopper is here, along with the world’s greatest ghost hounder, Biff-Barker! This is my hero cos he’s so brave.
BBBiff-Barker
No ghost can scare Biff-Barker.
And that’s the story of how we were all rescued by Wonder Whopper and Biff Barker the world’s greatest ghost hounder.
Whopper, where do you dream up all this nonsense about Biff Barker?
But there’s not nonsense! He’s a star of the ghost hounder’s TV show.
And I’m an official member… No. The treasure… Oh. The president of the Biff Barker fan club. Yeah. (pushing the lever down and all his things come out) Biff Barker’s an honest-to-goodness real ghost hounder and my hero!
Hmm. I wonder if Biff Barker ever ran into the ghost of the Terrible Terrier!
Bright Eyes
(chuckles) Ghost of the Terrible Terrier?
Yes! The ghost of the Terrible Terrier! Late at night, you can hear a moan.
A ghoulish, gruesome, ghastly groan. He calls “I’ll get you! I’ll get you! I’ll get you!”
We got him good with that one, Cooler!
We’ve already scared them enough, Cooler. Don’t overdo it.
It’s the Terrible Terrier!
Well, it ain’t rimp tin tin!
TTThe Terrible Terrier
Pound Puppies! Be gone from here by midnight tomorrow, or else!
Or else what, doggy breath?
(to Whopper) You had to ask.
Whoa! What’s going on, gang?
We’re baking the worst… Uh, faking the first… (howls) taking the first bus outta here.
That’s right. We’re not staying here one more little old minute with that drooling ghostly glob.
He may be a drooling ghostly glob, but we can lick him!
Cooler, that’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard.
Bright Eyes
But Cooler’s right! We can’t just leave! We gotta stick together and fight! (cheering) To the cover dance on cinnamon toast! Pound Puppies, Pound Puppies, beat the ghost!
I take it back. That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard.
Come on, crew! We’ll show that Terrible Terrier who can’t push us around!
Yeah, and I know just the guy who can help us!
We were so busy with Cheep-Cheep. We almost forgot to find Schap a home.
Your new masters are waiting, Schap honey.
Hey, guys. Nice job! And like I always say “May birds and dogs of a feather flock together.” (laughs)
Bright Eyes
Cheep, cheep, cheep!
CCCheep-Cheep
(tweeting in a barking way)
Bright Eyes
(laughs) I couldn’t have said it better myself. (laughs)
(writing down on the clipboard) Four more cute little old pups ready for adoption, Cooler.
Let’s just hope they’re ready to meet the evil queen of creepiness. Katrina Stoneheart.
Welcome, doggies. Now, let’s get one thing straight right off the bat. You’ll never escape from my pound! NEVER! (blowing the pups into the cage)
(meows then laughs in an evil grin)
And no one can help you, not even Cooler and his icky-poo puppy pals.
Bright Eyes
Golly gee!
And if Cooler’s pack shows up around here, we’ll be waiting with… the Vacuum Vortex.
Cooler and his mongrel mob will be turned into a canine cage! (laughs evilly)
Yes, folks! It dices, it slices, and it’s only 1995! (laughs)
Uh-oh! It’s on to us, crew! Let’s hit the pain!
Why is that bucket of boats chewing up garbage cans?
Blasted contraption must need a tune-up. Take it back to the garage, Brattina!
Yes, sure, Mommy Dearest. Come on, Vacuum.
Don’t worry, puppies. You have more friends here than you think.
Forget about Katrina, pups and puppets. We have some tail wagging good news. So listen up.
We’re gonna find each and every one of you.
By Jove, Pal, old chap! What’s wrong with your tail? It should be wagging.
I don’t know. My tail never wags.
Bright Eyes
It never wags?
NMNose Marie and Cooler
It never wags?
It never wags. And no one wants to adopt the pup whose tail won’t wag.
(picking him up) Now don’t you worry your cute little old head, Pal, dear.
Because we’re gonna fix your wagger.
And for emergencies like this, who do you call? Young Doctor Whopper!
Bright Eyes
What do you make of it, doc?
That much we know, but why won’t it wag?
Its batteries must be worn out, but I think we’ll have to operate.
(chuckles) You’re barking up the wrong tree, Whopper.
Pal doesn’t need a new tail. He needs a reason to wag his own tail.
So, let’s give him a reason. Let’s cheer up this pup!
Bright Eyes
Oh, oh! Cheering up is my specialty!
Then, Bright Eyes, do your stuff!
Bright Eyes
All right! (picking Pal up on her head) Come on, Pal! Quit your dragging! It’s time to set your tail wagon. Let’s have fun. No more gloom. Welcome to the Rumpus Room.
Wow, wow! (watching the pups having fun)
Bright Eyes
This is where we pups gotta wag our tails and have a flash. So let’s blast off!
BEBright Eyes and Pal
Whee!
Bright Eyes
(laughing as her tail wags)
(laughs) Oh, cats! It’s still not wagging. Let’s face it. It’ll never wag.
Whoa. Don’t give up so fast, my little puparoo.
We’ve got someone who can put some bounce in your behind.
Bright Eyes
Oh, no! How are we ever gonna sneak Pal and the other pups out now?
(miserably) Don’t worry about me, guys. I’m stuck here forever, remember? No one wants to adopt the pup whose tail won’t wag.
You know, Pal, I’ve been thinking. We’ve been trying to get your tail the wag, but we’ve blown it. Because, hey, we can’t make it wag.
What Cooler is trying to say, Pal, is that the wag has to come from inside of you.
Straight from your little old heart.
Come on. We’ll show ya in the Hall of Puppy Power.
Pal, deep within every dog’s heart is a gift known as puppy power.
It’s the magical love shared by puppies and children.
Us and Holly has puppy power.
That’s right, Pal. And now we’d like you to meet a special boy. His name is Greg.
Gee! His tail’s not wagging either.
That’s right. He’s lonesome because his best friend just moved away to another town.
Pal, do you think you might be able to cheer Greg up?
Who? Me? I-I don’t know. But-But I’d sure like to try, could I?
I’d really like to help him. I really would. I’d love to cheer up Greg, (howling) and howl.
HBHolly, Bright Eyes and Whopper
His tail’s wagging!
It’s a puppy’s dream come true! Having someone to love.
It’s the happiest day of my life!
Come on, Pal. Greg’s waiting to adopt you!
Yo, Pound Puppies, let’s start pounding!
Bright Eyes
Be super-duper quiet, Pal. I’ll bet the Vacuum Vortex can hear a pin drop.
All right, who dropped the pin?
Sorry! I guess my diaper drooped. Oh, how embarrassed.
Well, undroop it. Let’s get outta here!
(laughs evilly) Oh, at last! The Vacuum Vortex is about to crush Cooler and his cronies!
Shake a leg, crew! In fact, shake all 4 legs!
Yee-haw! Ride ‘em, cowdog!
Mommy Dearest, it’s that yucky icky-poo, Cooler.
Get him, you reckless hunk of junk! Suck him off!
Hmm. This pony ride needs a minor adjustment. R-A-T spells rat, which stands for Katrina!
Oh! Oh, no! It’s gone berserk! Oh! Oh! Run for it!
Eww! Icky-yucky, stinky smelly cages!
Someday, I’ll get you for this, Cooler. Someday!
And someday, Katrina may find the key to unlock a cage, but not someday soon! (laughs)
