HollyDon’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.
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!
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!
Oh, oh! Cheering up is my specialty!
Then, Bright Eyes, do your stuff!
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)
This is where we pups gotta wag our tails and have a flash. So let’s blast off!
BEBright Eyes and Pal
Whee!
(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.
Sorry, Pal. I guess my invention was a bust.
Holly
But Katrina’s invention is back in action.
The Vacuum Vortex is all turned up, Mommy Dearest.
Excellent, Brattina! Now, let’s give it a vile demonstration. Are you ready, Catgut?
We just set the gunky controls to the cat.
Get out of my face, you coward!
Mommy Dearest, you look scary.
But it works, Brattina. It works! Now we can finish our Cooler and his pack of pesky pooches, for good! (laughs evilly)
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.
Holly
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.
Holly
It’s the magical love shared by puppies and children.
Us and Holly has puppy power.
Holly
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.
Holly
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!
Holly
Come on, Pal. Greg’s waiting to adopt you!
Yo, Pound Puppies, let’s start pounding!
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!
Holly
Oh, no!
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)
Holly
(laughs)
Now we know why your name is Tuffy.
Tuffy, I’m sorry for what I said “You’re pretty neat for a cat.”
TTuffy
Thanks, Whopper. Hey, you’re pretty neat too for a dog.
And-And I want you to have this for keeps.
Holly
How about if we make Tuffy an honorary Pound Puppy.
There’s just one more little old thing Tuffy needs.
AAll
(Off-Screen) What’s that?
TTuffy
Oh, no! Not again!
Holly
Don’t cry, puppies. No one’s going to hurt you.
Holly! Get away from those filthy beasts!
Holly
But, Auntie Katrina, they’re so frightened!
Frightened? They should be terrified! (laughs evilly) Because my pound is now equipped with… (Copter-Catcher appears up above) …the Copter-Catcher! No dog will ever escape again! (laughs evilly)
(laughs evilly) What d’you say, Catgut? Let’s give ‘em a little demonstration.
(meows and laughs evilly)
Whoa! Brattina, you fool! Put me down!
All right, all right. Have a cow, why don’tcha!
Sorry about that, Mommy Dearest.
(angrily) You’ll be more than sorry, young lady! Fly, stay in your room! You’re grounded!
But, Mommy Dearest! (sobbing)
Holly
Comfy, Lucy?
Can we get you anything? Anything at all?
Well, I am a little hungry. I have this terrible for a dog food and ice-cream sundae.
Holly
Uck!
One dog food and ice-cream sundae coming up.
With chocolate syrup, limburger cheese, coconut, ketchup, gumdrops, dill pickles, cherries and over all that beef gravy.
There. I hope you enjoy it!
HNHolly and Nose Marie
She was hungry!
Delicious! May I have another? This time with some whipped cream on top?
Sure. There’s some whipped cream in the kitchen.
Holly
I’ll go get it.
No honey down here either.
Holly
Oh, no! You guys! Looking for the biscuit box again, huh?
Nope. We’re looking for honey. We want to find out how puppies are born.
Holly
What’s honey got to do with puppies?
You know, cos of the birds and bees. (imitating buzzing noise)
Holly
I think you’re both confused.
Then unconfuse us, Holly.
Yeah, tell us where puppies come from.
Holly
Well, the birds and the bees are myth, just like the stork.
Holly
A bird.
Holly
A big bird with a long beak.
Holly
It stands on one long leg.
Holly
And some folks say “Stork drops the baby bundles of joy down the chimney.”
(Off-screen) Holly, where’s that whipped cream?
Holly
Coming! (getting some whipped cream out of the fridge) I’ll explain later, guys. Lucy’s waiting.
I just got one question. What’s a myth?
I think the girl is a myth and the boy is a mister.
Well, what do you pups have to say for yourselves?
I never did get to lick the spoon.
This calls for drastic action.
Holly
I’ll bet we can straighten these guys out in the Hall of Puppy Power.
Then let’s pop on down there, pronto.
Holly
Candy, Mandy and Andy, this is where we can help you and your mum and papa find a home.
All you need to do is concentrate.
Holly
And a beautiful puppy power vision of your new master will appear.
I wanna live with a little boy.
Not me! I wanna live with a little girl.
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
Girl, boy, boy, boy!
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
Uh-oh! What happened?
Disaster city! You’ve broken puppy power!
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
We did?
Why not? They’ve broken everything else in the place.
Well, since you pups don’t get along, it looks like we’ll have to split you up into 3 different homes.
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
No! You can’t split us up!
Well, maybe there is one little old possibility.
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
What?
If you knuckle hounds can get together and use a little teamwork, we may be able to fix puppy power and find you a home.
We promise to be good and get along.
And we’ll live with a boy or a girl.
CMCandy, Mandy and Andy
Or both.
Holly
Puppy power is working again!
And that’s going to be our new home.
Ah, oh! There she blows! Katrina! Off the starboard bow!
Silly confounded contraption!
Holly
She’s looking the other way. Now’s our chance.
(to the children) It’s with puparoos. Let the escape-a-rooney begin.
(laughs evilly) At last! The Cage Catapult is ready for action. Cooler and his canines won’t get away next time!
All right. All ready with the gunky gizmo, Mommy Dearest. Come and see all the stinky puppies we caught. Now!
Oh all right, Brattina! Show me the dogs. How many miserable mongrels did you catch?
Almost a hundred icky-poo smelly dogs.
A hundred dogs?! Why, Brattina, I could kiss you!
Eww! Gross. No thanks. I’d rather have a Suzy Spit-up Doll.
For a hundred dogs, I’ll get you a dozen Suzy Spit-up Dolls. (But she realizes that the dogs are gone) What?! These cages are empty!
(Off-screen) No, no, no! They were loaded with icky-poo stink old dogs!
(Angry with her) Play games with me, will you, young lady? Just for this: You can kiss that Suzy Spit-up Doll goodbye!
Holly
With some folks who really want you.
JMJerry’s Mom
Jerry, you’re late. Oh, we were so worried.
Mom, dad! It’s great to be home! Oh! And this is Blue. He’s from the puppy pound. Can I keep him?
JDJerry’s Dad
Well, I don’t wanna wind up being the one who takes care of him.
Don’t worry, dad. I promise I’ll do all my chores from now on, and that includes taking care of Blue.
JDJerry’s Dad
Okay then, Blue. Welcome to the family.
Well, gang, our chores are done, and you know what that means?
