The sleigh’s all loaded up.
Then let’s hitch up our reindeer and hit the road! Hey, Rudolph, front and center!
Rudolph, Shmoo-Dolph! How do we get talked into these things?
By the way, Holly, where’d you find all these great presents to hand out?
With what? Money. May I be so bold as to ask, perchance?
The pound’s money? You mean we had money left over after paying the bills?
What bills? We haven’t gotten any bills since July. Isn’t that wonderful?
Wonderful? I’d say it’s downright fishy.
(sniffs) And it has the distinct aroma of Katrina Stoneheart.
Closed? But how can you close the pound?
CW Chief Williams
I’m sorry to do this on Christmas Eve, Holly, but the pound is so behind in its bills. Well, I just had to close it down. I’m very sorry.
What bills is he talking about? We didn’t get any bills.
This may be your answer coming down the street.
I have a Christmas present for you. Five months of overdue bills! You can possibly pay them! (laughs evilly)
(singing) Yah-yah! Read ‘em and weep!
Well, it’s true. Now come home, young lady. You’re going straight to bed.
No! I wanna stay with the puppies!
Too bad! You’re coming home this instant!
No, you can’t do this! Please, Auntie Katrina! Please!
Brattina! What is wrong with you?
I didn’t get anything for Christmas. It’s not fair! (crying)
What do you mean, my little jalapeno? All these presents are for you.
But it’s not enough, Mommy Dearest! I didn’t get my bitter piranha bathtub toy, or my Suzy Spit-up Doll, or my…
Oh, Brattina, stop whining! You should be grateful, you’re not one of those wretched Pound Puppies freezing out in the cold! Just look at them! They don’t even have a home for Christmas and they’re not crying!
Boy! I’ll say they’re not crying. They look happy, Mommy Dearest!
What? What are those people doing out there? Why aren’t they home opening their gifts? Don’t they know it’s Christmas?
Oh, puppies! It looks like Santa’s been here, and these love presents for everyone! A million, a billion… A kazillion presents! Yeah!
Psst. Kitty, want some warm milk?
(to the audience) Well, you can’t expect every episode to end with a joke. Happy Holidays, kids!
