Hey, there. I'm Cookie --
FFang
Cookie? What kind of name is that? Sounds like something a human would think of.
As a matter of fact, it is, and --
FFang
Look, Cookie, how about you take your adorable human name, turn around, and go bother someone else? We have nothing to discuss.
Oh, really? Well, listen, tough guy. I'm sure the "alpha male" routine works on some dogs, but I've got an operation to run and --
FFang
That's just fascinating. Meanwhile, I've got --
You did not just interrupt the Cookie! Honey, right now I don't know who you are or where you come from. What I do know is that you're filthy, and you smell like a dog park dumpster on a hot day in August.
Did I ask a question to which the answer is "uh"? Now hush up and listen. You will come out of that kennel and you will take a bath. And once you're clean, you will drop the attitude, you will smile, and you will help us help you out!
FFang
No one's ever talked to me like that. I kinda like it. Name's Fang.
Oh, I'm Cookie, w-which you already know. Anyway, uh, come on.
FFang
Fine, but I wash myself.
Fine. And then I'll take a look at your paw.
Niblet
Cookie? Next time I'm a bad dog, will you talk mean to me too?
Bad luck is bad luck. You can't just wash it off with soap and water.
You know, I get why Niblet believes in all this hocus-pocus stuff. I mean, he refuses to eat out of the left side of his dish ever Tuesday, Friday, and third Monday.
Niblet
That's so the magic flea angels won't get me.
But, you, Squirt -- I don't understand.
You won't believe this, but if you multiply the diameter of the parking lot by the height of the fence, then divide it by the length of this kennel, you get Pi!
Niblet
(as Lucky, Cookie, Squirt, and himself look at Strudel confused): Cherry or pumpkin?
We got to get rid of this walking handbag. He's a menace!
I thought you never met a mutt you didn't like.
He ain't no mutt. He's an alligator.
Niblet
An alligator who can talk!
Yeah. How'd you learn to do that, anyway?
RRover
Oh, you know, from other dogs, much like yourselves.
RRover
Not me. Oh, I'm a vegetarian.
I don't care if you're a Presbyterian. You're not a pet like us.
AAce
And not just any bacon. We're talking prime cut, maple-smoked, nitrate-free bacon -- only the best for our canine comrades.
Wait a minute. What's the catch?
AAce
Catch? You offend me, Lucky. This is simply an olive branch to show our feelings are genuine. So, what do you say? You call the rest of your team up here and have yourselves a celebration.
Niblet
Please, Lucky! It's a giant pile of pork and dog biscuits, for Pete's sake!
Oh, why not? Jaden, get the other guys and let's party!
Niblet
Of course! All she needs is a coach! (to Lucky) Like how you coached me from jumping in and ruining that nice folks' picnic. (to Zipper) I mean before you did.
A coach, now that's an idea, Niblet. But we don't really know any zoomit dogs.
Niblet
Sure we do.
Niblet
And if I know this zoomit champ as much as I think I do, he'll jump at the chance to train you!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the phone. You want me to what? Not a chance, I'm outta here, I'm gone.
All right, Strudel, you got us all down here. Now, what's the big news?
Oh, nothing...except the most brilliant innovation since the dawn of time!
Niblet
At long last -- a device that delivers kibble straight to my tummy!
You've got one of those. It's called your mouth.
Niblet
I'm amazing!
Um, you see, there was a bit of confusion while I was hypnotizing McLeish, and what with all the back-and-forth and--
Niblet
She made him think he was a dog.
I made him think he was a dog?! It was your fault!
Look, I don't care whose fault it is, I just want to know how we fix him.
(rolls eyes) Oh brother...
Niblet
Psst! Hey, parrots. I'm a member of the Pound Puppies, and I'm looking for Mr. Squawkers. Do you know him?
GPGreen Parrot
Pound Puppies! [squawks]
Niblet
Yeah, that's me. But shh. Don't mention that dogs can talk. It's secret.
PPPink Parrot
[squawks] Dogs can talk. Dogs can talk.
HHumphrey
(To Niblet) Ask them where Mr. Squawkers is.
Niblet
I've got a better idea, Humphrey. Maybe they can show us where he is.
SCStore Clerk
[gasps] It's the great parrot rebellion. Just as the Mayans predicted. Run for your lives!
All right then, let's do this! On, Cookie! On, Strudel! On, puppies with bows! On, Niblet! On, Squirt-Squirt! Let's go, doggies, go!
Be good, pups. We'll be back soon.
Niblet
Don't eat all the kibble cake!
Niblet
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
