Transcript: Spark Stays
(music plays)
The TVO Kids and Air Bud logos appear on a white screen.
A caption reads "Air Bud Entertainment Presents."
A street sign reads "Welcome to Wolfhead. Where friendship comes first."
[SHIVERING]
Spark shivers in a box on the street.
King, a German Sheppard, comes along with the Lost Dogs and says SO. STILL LIVING
THE CARDBOARD BOX LIFE.
HOW'S THAT WORKING OUT
FOR YOU?
Spark says IT'S HOME. IT'S MINE.
AND I'M JUST FINE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, KING?
King THIS ISN'T ABOUT
WHAT I WANT.
IT'S ABOUT
WHAT YOU DESERVE.
A SHELTER SHOULD BE
AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST.
Spark says LIKE I SAID, I'M GOOD HERE.
King says ARE YOU?
MY HIDEOUT IS WARM.
DRY.
Spark says AND ALL IT WOULD COST
IS MY FREEDOM.
WORKING FOR YOU.
King says WITH, KID, WITH!
WHERE A SMART, SAVVY
PUP LIKE YOU BELONGS.
Spark says YOU MEAN LIKE HIM?
Another dog looks at his reflection on a puddle and says COME ON. COME ON, MAN!
YEAH, YOU!
SCRAM! GET OUTTA MY PUDDLE!
King says THAT'S YOUR REFLECTION!
The dog says WHOA! OH, YEAH.
YOU'RE RIGHT!
THAT'S AMAZING!
Spark says BESIDES, I HAVE A PLACE
I BELONG.
King says YOU BELONG WITH
THE LOST DOGS.
STOP TRYING TO BELONG
SOMEWHERE YOU DON'T.
[PUP ACADEMY WHISTLE BLOWING]
King says YOU SHOULD REALLY GIVE
THE LOST DOGS A TRY.
THINK ABOUT IT, KID.
Spark says I DID. I WON'T.
AND I GOTTA GO!
[WHISTLE CONTINUES BLOWING]
Another dog from the gang says LET'S DO SOME DAMAGE.
King says NAH, SHE'LL COME AROUND.
On his way to the academy, Spark runs into two agents from Animal Control.
Spark says OH, NO!
[GASPS]
She hides in a basket full of fish at the fish market.
[GRUNTING]
The woman hits him and makes the man spill his coffee.
The man says LOU!
Lou says I SWEAR I SAW THAT STRAY.
The man says I SWEAR YOU NEED
TO GET YOUR EYES CHECKED.
MAN, THAT'S HOT!
As they leave, Spark comes out and says UGH! FISH.
I HATE FISH.
The woman says AH.
[PUP ACADEMY WHISTLE BLOWING]
At the academy, pups come out of the fire hydrants.
[BITE SNIFFING]
Bite says WHOA, SPARK!
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU FALL IN A BUCKET
OF CAT FOOD?
Spark says NO!
[LAUGHING]
Rotty says BUCKET OF CAT FOOD!
GOOD ONE, BITE.
YOU'RE HILARIOUS!
Bite chuckles and says TRY NOT TO STINK UP
THE JOINT, OKAY?
SOME OF US ARE
TRYING TO LEARN.
Spark says UGH! CAN YOU BELIEVE
THOSE GUYS?
Corazon says DON'T LISTEN
TO THOSE GROWLERS.
Whiz says YOU ARE A BIT SMELLY, THOUGH.
Spark says GREAT, THANKS.
Whiz says COME ON.
WE SHOULD FIX THIS.
WE WANT EVERYONE
TO THINK YOU BELONG.
King's voice says STOP TRYING TO BELONG
SOMEWHERE YOU DON'T.
The theme song plays.
At the academy, Charlie turns on a device that lights up the fire hydrants and activates the pups' collars. Fast clips show them at school and playing. Morgan, Charlie and Izzy have fun with the pups and go on several adventures.
The song playsYEAH, HERE WE ARE, WE'RE
ALWAYS LEARNING SOMETHING NEW
THERE MAY BE UPS AND DOWNS
BUT WE'LL BE COMIN' THROUGH
SO PAY ATTENTION
WE'LL PICK UP A THING OR TWO
UH-OH-O-OH
I'LL BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
YOU GOT ME DAY AND NIGHT
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE
FOR YOU
AND I KNOW
YOU'RE THERE FOR ME TOO
AND WE GOT THAT BOND
FOR LIFE
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
I GOT YOU LIKE THAT
Against the night sky, the name of the show appears. It reads "Pup Academy. Created by Anna McRoberts."
In his workshop, Charlie and Morgan give Spark a bath.
Charlie says THIS IS WHAT WE CALL
A TEACHABLE MOMENT.
EXHIBIT A.
UH, SUBJECT DOG
HAS BEEN ROLLING IN FISH.
Morgan groans.
[GROANING]
Spark says GUYS, GETTING ITCHY.
MUST SHAKE!
Corazon says UH, DON'T DO IT, DUDE!
Charlie says SHE'S GONNA SHAKE!
OH, NO! OH, NO!
Whiz says UGH! FISH SMELL!
Corazon says EW!
Morgan bathes Spark as Charlie brushes Corazon.
Morgan says WHOA. WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME YOU TOOK A BATH?
[LAUGHING]
Corazon laughs and says SORRY, DUDE, BUT YOU DO
LOOK LIKE A COTTON BALL.
Under the dryer, Whiz says HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHAT A COTTON BALL IS?
Corazon says CAN YOU EVER TRULY KNOW
SOMETHING UNTIL YOU'VE EATEN IT?
Whiz says WHAT?
Spark says AT LEAST THIS CAN'T GET
ANY MORE HUMILIATING.
Charlie says OKAY, WHAT KIND
OF SCENT WOULD YOU LIKE?
PINE OR NEW CAR SMELL?
Spark says HMM?
In the classroom, Headmistress Gruff says GOOD MORNING, PUPS.
WELCOME TO HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
TODAY'S LESSON IS ON
ONE OF THE MOST CONFUSING
OF ALL HUMAN BEHAVIORS;
BABY TALK.
AND I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT HUMAN BABIES TALKING,
I'M TALKING ABOUT ADULTS
TALKING LIKE HUMAN BABIES.
CHARLIE? COULD YOU
DEMONSTRATE WITH ROTTY?
Charlie says COME HERE.
ROTTY, COME HERE.
In baby talk, Charlie says YES, YOU'RE A GOOD BOY.
YOU'RE A GOOD BOY.
WHO'S A GOOD BOO BOO?
Bite says ROTTY,
ARE YOU FOR REAL?
Whiz says ACTUALLY, THAT LOOKS DELIGHTFUL!
Gruff says NOTICE THE LACK OF WORDS
AND THE INTENSE EYE CONTACT.
THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS
HUMANS SAY "I LOVE YOU."
Charlie says WHO'S A GOOD "DOGGY-WOGGY"?
Gruff says WE STILL DON'T HAVE
A SCIENTIFIC REASON WHY
ADULT HUMANS TALK
TO DOGS THIS WAY.
ALL WE KNOW FOR SURE IS
THIS MAKES HUMANS
EXCITINGLY HAPPY!
Rotty says OH, YEAH!
ROTTY LOVES THAT, RIGHT THERE.
OH, OH!
I LIKE THAT SCRATCHING!
OH, YEAH! RIGHT THERE, YES!
ROTTY LOVES THAT! [LAUGHS]
Spark says YOU CAN'T SERIOUSLY
BE ENJOYING THAT, CAN YOU?
Rotty says WHAT?
IT'S FOR THE HUMAN. DUH.
A pup says CAN I GO NEXT?
[LAUGHS]
Gruff says IT MAY SEEM SILLY.
Spark says SILLY IS
KIND OF AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
Gruff says YES, HUMANS CAN BE VERY SILLY.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
IN SCHOOL TO LEARN ABOUT THEM?
SPARK, WHY DON'T YOU
GIVE IT A SHOT?
Spark sighs and says COME ON, SPARK.
OKAY, LET'S JUST
GET THIS OVER WITH.
Charlie says MORGAN, WHY DON'T YOU
GIVE IT A SHOT?
Morgan says MM.
AH, BOO BOO.
AH, BOO BOO BOO BA BOO.
Spark says NOPE. NOT FEELING IT.
Morgan says WAIT.
IS IT, "AH, BOO BOO"?
OR IS IT JUST, "AH, BOO"?
Charlie says JUST FEEL IT,
AND IT'LL BE
THE RIGHT AMOUNT
OF "BOO BOOS."
GO AHEAD.
Morgan says AH BOO BOO.
WHO'S A GOOD GIRL?
WHO IS?
Spark says NOPE.
NO WARM HEART.
JUST AN AWKWARD,
WEIRDED OUT VIBE.
NOT REALLY LIKING IT.
A pup says COME ON, SPARK!
GET INTO IT!
Morgan says I DON'T THINK
SPARK LIKES THIS.
Charlie says OH, COME ON,
PUT A LITTLE MUSTARD ON IT.
COME ON.
Morgan says AH, BOO BOO BOO
BA BOO BOO.
Spark says I'M GOOD.
WRAP IT UP!
I DON'T GET IT.
IT'S GETTING ON MY NERVES.
I SAID-- [BARKING]
Spark starts growling and barking at Morgan.
[ALL GASPING]
Gruff says HMM.
Morgan says WHAT DID SHE SAY?
Charlie says UH, IT'S AN OLDER KID WORD.
I'LL TELL YOU
IN A FEW YEARS.
Gruff says NOTE THE SHOCKED LOOK
ON THE HUMAN.
THAT IS A SAD FACE.
THEY ARE NOT,
AS HUMANS SAY, "SIMPATICO."
AND SPARK, THERE'S NO PLACE
FOR THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR HERE.
Spark says OH, YEAH?
WELL, WHERE IS THERE A PLACE
FOR THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR?
Gruff says DETENTION. GO.
[ALL GASP]
[SIGHS]
Morgan says AW, MAN.
I GUESS I NEED TO PRACTICE
MY "AH, BOO BOOS."
Charlie says AH, YOU'LL GET
THE HANG OF IT.
Charlie messes with Morgan's hair and says WHO'S A GOOD BOY?
WHO'S A GOOD BOY?
NOW, TELL ME,
WHO'S A GOOD BOY?
[LAUGHS]
[PHONE VIBRATING]
Morgan gasps and says DANG!
I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL.
GOTTA MOTOR!
Charlie says ALL RIGHT, SEE YOU LATER.
Mister Bannington talks to Principal Schiffley in the hallway and says I HAD CHELSEA DO THAT.
SHE'S REALLY GOOD WITH GRAPHICS
AND EVERYTHING.
Mister Bannington is in his thirties, with short curly brown hair and a beard. He wears gray trousers and a blue sweater.
Principal Schiffley says SHE DID A GOOD JOB.
Mister Bannington says I THINK SO.
Principal Schiffley says MR. BANNINGTON,
THIS LOOKS GREAT.
Mister Bannington says BUT, WE STILL NEED SOMEONE
TO WORK THE HOT DOG CART.
Morgan tries to sneak in the classroom.
Principal Schiffley says MR. EDWARDS.
Morgan gasps and says OH, HEY, MR. BANNINGTON.
AND, UH...
SORRY I'M LATE,
PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY.
IT'S JUST SOMETIMES
I FORGET WHICH DAYS
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HERE
AND WHICH DAYS I'M AT
WORK-STUDY WITH MY GRANDPA.
Principal Schiffley says HMM. WELL,
I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE
GOING TO BE TOMORROW
TO MAKE UP FOR TODAY.
AND TWO DAYS AGO.
AND LAST WEEK.
She gives him a flier.
Morgan says THE ANNUAL BIG GAME
AGAINST THE LAURIER LIONS?
YOU WANT ME TO PLAY?
[LAUGHING]
Principal Schiffley says OH, HEAVENS, NO.
I'VE SEEN YOU IN PE.
YOU'RE GONNA BE MANNING
THE FUND-RAISING
HOT DOG CART.
Mister Bannington says IT'S THE BIGGEST GAME
OF THE YEAR.
AND THE HOT DOGS
ARE THE NUMBER ONE SELLER
OF THE FUND-RAISER!
Morgan says I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE ENTRUSTING ME
WITH SUCH A HUGE
RESPONSIBILITY,
PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY.
I MEAN,
I-- I SHOULD REALLY PASS...
Principal Schiffley says THIS ISN'T A REQUEST.
THE SCHOOL NEEDS
THIS MONEY,
AND YOU NEED
THE EXTRA CREDIT.
AND PEOPLE LOVE HOT DOGS.
Mister Bannington says LOVE 'EM!
Morgan says AND EVERYBODY ELSE SAID NO.
Principal Schiffley says CORRECT. BUT EVERYONE ELSE
WAS ON TIME.
[BELL RINGING]
SPEAKING OF WHICH...
Morgan says OH!
Morgan walks away.
[SIGHS]
[HYDRANTS CHIMING]
Outside, Corazon says SPARK!
HOW WAS DETENTION?
Spark says NOT AMAZING.
HOW WAS KIBBLE?
Corazon says AW, DELICIOUS!
I MEAN, WE ATE IT ALL.
I MEAN,
WHIZ, I TOLD YOU
TO SAVE HER SOME.
Whiz says I DID!
AND YOU LITERALLY ATE IT!
Corazon says I COULDN'T HEAR YOU
OVER MY CHEWING.
THERE'S THE BAD DOGGY.
Bite says WHO'S A BAD DOG?
SPARK IS!
Corazon says COME ON, BITE.
YOU KNOW SPARK
DOESN'T LIKE BABY TALK.
Bite says OR HUMANS, APPARENTLY.
[LAUGHING]
Rotty says OR HUMANS, APPARENTLY.
[LAUGHS]
Spark says WHO NEEDS HUMANS, ANYWAY?
Corazon says WE DO.
WE LOVE OUR HUMANS.
Whiz says SURE, SOMETIMES
THEY'RE HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY JAMES
THINKS IT'S SO IMPORTANT
TO GET SHEEP IN A PEN,
BUT JAMES IS MY BEST FRIEND.
Spark says I THOUGHT WE WERE BEST FRIENDS.
Whiz says WE ARE, BUT BEING
A HUMAN'S BEST FRIEND
IS WHAT PUP ACADEMY
IS ALL ABOUT.
Corazon says YEAH.
OR, WHY ELSE ARE YOU HERE?
WAIT.
THAT CAME OUT WRONG.
Spark says NO.
IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
WHY AM I HERE?
AND IF MY "FRIENDS."
ARE ASKING IT,
MAYBE I DON'T BELONG HERE
AFTER ALL.
He goes back in the fire hydrant and disappears.
[HYDRANT CHIMES]
Corazon says FOR A SMART PUP, THAT WAS
A VERY UNSMART THING TO DO,
YOU KNOW, WHIZ?
Whiz says WHAT?
Spark walk in the junkyard.
King says EH, LOOK AT THIS.
LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY
HAD A LONG DAY.
NOT US, EH, BOYS?
A dog says I CHASED A SQUIRREL
FOR THREE HOURS!
Another dog says I CHEWED A BRICK!
King says WE SPENT THE WHOLE DAY
DOING WHATEVER WE WANTED.
JUST LIKE
WE'LL BE DOING TOMORROW.
Spark says DOES YOUR OFFER STILL STAND?
TO GIVE THE LOST DOGS A TRY?
King says WE THOUGHT
YOU'D NEVER ASK.
At home, Morgan's mom says WHOA! MORGAN?
Morgan says YEAH?
Mom says HONEY, WHAT ARE YOU
STILL DOING HERE?
Morgan says UNLESS I DIDN'T GET
THE STICKY NOTE,
DON'T WE STILL LIVE HERE?
Mom says SWEETHEART,
YOU SHOULD BE AT SCHOOL
PREPARING THE FOOD FOR
THE FUND-RAISER THIS AFTERNOON.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT,
YOUR WORK-STUDY DEPENDS ON IT.
Morgan says MOM, IT'S HOT DOGS.
HOW HARD CAN IT BE?
Mom says MMM.
Morgan says YOU TAKE THEM OUT
OF THE PACKAGE,
PUT IT IN WATER,
ONCE THEY LOOK LESS GROSS,
YOU PUT IT IN A BUN.
Mom says MM-HMM.
FOR 500 PEOPLE.
Morgan says FOR 500...
I'M SORRY, WHAT NOW?
Mom says COME ON, CHOP CHOP!
HAVE ANOTHER BITE, LET'S GO!
COME ON!
On the streets, King says YOU MADE
A GOOD CHOICE, KID.
Spark says I'M JUST TRYING THIS
FOR A DAY.
King says FAIR ENOUGH.
BUT DO YOU REALLY WANT
TO END UP LIKE THAT?
CONTROLLED.
MANIPULATED.
AND WHAT IS THAT?
A DOG IN A PURSE?
DO YOU REALIZE
HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO
THAT WAS A WOLF?
Spark says MAYBE SHE'S HAPPY.
King says HA! MAYBE SHE THINKS
SHE'S HAPPY,
BUT SHE DOESN'T KNOW
FROM FREEDOM.
SHE'S A PET.
GROVELING TO GET ATTENTION,
AND BEGGING FOR MORSELS.
Spark says YOU KNOW WHAT
WOULD MAKE THAT WORSE?
BABY TALK.
King says RIGHT?
THAT'S NOT THE WORLD
YOU BELONG IN.
SO, YOU READY FOR A DAY OF FUN
WITH THE LOST DOGS?
Spark says LEAD THE WAY.
At the school kitchen, Principal Schiffley says THOSE ONIONS ARE REALLY DOING
A NUMBER ON YOUR EYES,
AREN'T THEY?
Morgan says IT'S NOT THE ONIONS,
PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY.
IT'S THE ONIONS
AND THE 500 HOT DOGS
I HAVE TO MAKE.
Principal Schiffley says SIX-HUNDRED. WE SOLD OUT
THE GAME THIS MORNING.
Morgan says SERIOUSLY?
OH, NO.
Principal Schiffley says MORGAN. MORGAN, BREATHE.
BREATHE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS FOLLOW THE MENU.
Morgan says THE MENU?
IT'S JUST HOT DOGS.
MEAT AND BUN.
Principal Schiffley shows him a menu board and says NO, REGULAR.
CHICAGO. GLUTEN FREE.
TOFU DOG.
CHILI DOG. CHEESE DOG.
CHILI CHEESE DOG.
COMPLETED. CORN DOG.
ITALIAN DOG.
POLISH BOY.
DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THAT IS.
TEXAS BARBECUE...
Morgan says THERE'S LIKE 12 DIFFERENT
TYPES OF HOT DOGS HERE!
Principal Schiffley says TWELVE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THERE'S 24!
[GROANS]
Principal Schiffley says MORGAN.
THIS IS WHY I WANTED YOU
TO DO THIS.
BECAUSE YOU NEED
TO LEARN HOW TO PRIORITIZE.
SCHOOL, YOUR WORK-STUDY.
DIFFERENT TYPES
OF HOT DOGS.
YOU NEED A SYSTEM
TO DO IT ALL.
Morgan says SO I COOK THE DOGS HERE.
Principal Schiffley says MM-HMM.
AND THEN YOU LOAD THEM UP
IN THE CART,
PULL THEM OUT ON THE FIELD
FOR 1:10.
Morgan says WHY 1:10?
Principal Schiffley says HALFTIME!
PEAK WIENER TIME,
EDWARDS!
PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY
AT THE START OF THE GAME,
BUT THEY'RE HANGRY
AT HALFTIME.
Morgan says OKAY. OKAY.
Principal Schiffley says I KNOW YOU WON'T
LET ME DOWN.
Morgan says THANKS.
Principal Schiffley says NO.
I KNOW
YOU WON'T LET ME DOWN.
[GULPS]
At the beach, Kind says OH, YEAH!
YOU BETTER RUN, HUMANS.
THIS IS OUR BEACH, NOW!
TAKE THAT,
FLOATY-DUCKY-RUBBER-DUCKY!
SHOW THAT DUCK
WHO'S BOSS, TAIL!
Tail chews on a duck floatie.
Spark says CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY JUST
GAVE US ALL THIS STUFF?
WOO-HOO!
King says SOMEBODY SEEMS TO BE
ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
Spark says YOU KNOW, I GUESS I AM.
King says BET YOU DON'T HAVE THIS MUCH FUN
AT PUP ACADEMY, RIGHT?
Spark says I SPENT ALL DAY YESTERDAY
BEING JUDGED,
AND MAYBE I MISJUDGED YOU.
King says I KEEP TELLING YOU THAT, KID.
YOU BELONG WITH US.
NO LEASHES,
NO COLLARS, NO HUMANS!
BUT ALL THIS FUN,
IT SURE WORKS UP
AN APPETITE, HUH?
Spark says SURE DOES.
King says KID, YOU'RE GONNA LOVE
WHAT'S ON THE MENU
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
[TRUCK APPROACHING]
King says OOH! HERE COMES THE FUZZ.
A DAY LATE,
AND A DOLLAR SHORT. HA!
AWAY WE GO, STRAYS.
The gang runs away from Animal Control.
A dog says OH, HO, HO. YEAH!
WOO, WOO, WOO, WOO!
Lou says THEY'RE GETTING AWAY AGAIN.
A dog says HA HA!
JUST TRY TO KEEP UP, YOU SLUGS!
The man says LOOK AT THIS MESS.
THEY'RE A MENACE!
Lou says THAT'S TOO BAD.
I LOVE A BEACH PARTY.
Back at the school kitchen, Morgan gets his hot dog cart organized and says HOT DOGS COOKED.
BUNS STEAMED.
AND CONDIMENTS ORGANIZED
FOR SPEEDY WEENIE CREATIONS.
Principal Schiffley says I GOTTA ADMIT, EDWARDS,
I'M A LITTLE SURPRISED.
Morgan says WELL, SOMETIMES I CAN
SURPRISE YOU.
Principal Schiffley says HMM. ME TOO.
She shows him a hot dog costume and says SURPRISE.
In the costume, Morgan says WELL, AT LEAST THIS
COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE.
Outside the school, King takes a deep breath and says AH!
SMELL THAT?
THAT'S THE SMELL
OF 600 HOT DOGS.
A dog says WAIT A MINUTE.
WE'RE EATING DOGS?
King says NO, NO, NO, NO.
HUMANS JUST CALL THEM THAT.
ANOTHER INSULT TO OUR KIND.
WE'VE BEEN CASING THIS JOINT
FOR A WHILE.
ONCE A YEAR, SOME KID COMES OUT
OF THE BUILDING WITH A CART
AND A TON OF TASTY HOT DOGS.
HE'LL WALK FROM THE SCHOOL
TO THE FIELD
WHEN THE WHISTLE BLOWS,
AND YOU HEAR CHEERS.
BUT WE CAN NEVER
GET CLOSE ENOUGH.
IF ONLY ONE OF US
COULD FIT THROUGH THAT HOLE
IN THE FENCE,
THEY COULD OPEN THE GATE.
[SIGHS]
OH, WELL, DARE TO DREAM.
Spark says WAIT, I COULD FIT THROUGH
THAT HOLE.
I COULD OPEN THE GATE.
THEN, YOU GUYS COULD RUN IN,
AND CHASE THE HUMAN OFF!
King says SPARK!
WHAT A NOVEL IDEA.
Spark says ONCE THE COAST IS CLEAR,
I'LL SNEAK HOT DOGS
FROM THE CART,
AND LET THE FEAST BEGIN.
King says ALWAYS KNEW
YOU WERE A NATURAL.
Meanwhile, Corazon and Whiz look for Spark on the streets.
[SNIFFING]
Whiz says NOTHING.
NO, SPARK. NOWHERE.
Corazon says I DIDN'T MEAN
TO HURT HER FEELINGS.
WHAT... WHAT IF SHE
DOESN'T COME BACK?
[SNIFFING]
Corazon says SNIFF FASTER!
[WHISTLE BLARING]
King says AND THERE IT IS...
JUST LIKE CLOCKWORK.
Morgan carries the hot dog cart outside and says YOU HAVE MY GUARANTEE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL HOT DOG SALE
YOU'VE EVER KNOWN,
PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY.
[GRUNTS]
King says NOW REMEMBER, FOLLOW THE PLAN,
NO MATTER WHAT.
I'LL TOPPLE THE CART,
AND WE'LL FEAST LIKE KINGS.
IT'S COMING.
DON'T LET ME DOWN, SPARK.
Spark sneaks in and opens the gate.
King says WE'RE IN, BOYS.
TIME TO FEAST!
WOO-HOO!
OH, YEAH!
HOT DOG!
Principal Schiffley says THAT'S A BIG DOG.
Morgan says YEAH.
IT'S NOT
THE MOST COMFORTABLE SUIT,
THAT'S FOR SURE.
Principal Schiffley says NO! NO! BIG DOGS!
[BARKING]
Morgan says BIG DOGS!
HEY, HEY!
HEY, HEY, HEY!
Principal Schiffley jumps on the cart and Morgan climbs up on a dumpster.
[SCREAMING]
Tail looks up at Morgan in the suit and says OH, MAMA.
AM I DREAMING?
IT'S EVEN BIGGER
UP CLOSE!
Morgan says PLEASE EAT ME, TAIL!
Tail says WHAT'S THAT?
WHAT'S THAT,
GIANT HOT DOG?
Morgan says PLEASE EAT ME!
YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT ME.
I'M MOSTLY FOAM!
PLEASE EAT ME.
I'M A DELICIOUS HOT DOG.
Tail says REALLY?
ARE YOU SURE?
Morgan says PLEASE EAT ME, TAIL!
OKAY, WHATEVER YOU SAY,
TALKING HOT DOG.
[SNIFFING]
[KIDS CHEERING]
Corazon says OH, I SMELL HOT DOGS.
Whiz says WOULD YOU FOCUS?
WE'RE SNIFFING TO FIND SPARK.
Corazon says OH, I SMELL HER!
BUT I ALSO SMELL
A LOT OF HOT DOGS.
Whiz says LOOK! OVER THERE!
[WHIMPERING]
[GASPING]
Surrounded by hungry dogs, Principal Schiffley makes a phone call and says HELLO? ANIMAL CONTROL?
[DOGS BARKING]
Principal Schiffley says WE HAVE A SITUATION.
GET HERE IMMEDIATELY!
PLEASE!
NO! NO! NO, NO, NO, NO!
OH, NO.
Morgan says THE HOT DOGS! NO!
Spark says MORGAN?
Morgan says SPARK?
Spark says WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Morgan says YOU'RE IN ON THIS?
Spark says OH, NO.
Morgan says YOU'RE STEALING
MY HOT DOGS?
I BABY TALK TO YOU IN CLASS,
YOU BARK AT ME,
AND NOW YOU'RE STEALING.
Tail says OH, I'M GONNA EAT YOU
IN ONE BITE, HOT DOG.
Morgan says AH! HELP!
Spark says I'VE GOTTA HELP MORGAN!
She grabs Tail by the tail.
Tail says OW!
THAT'S MY TAIL!
QUIT IT, SPARK.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[GROWLING]
King says HEY!
Principal Schiffley says AH!
Tail says THAT'S MY TAIL, SPARK!
King says WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Spark says I CAN'T LET YOU HURT THIS KID,
KING.
King says STICK TO THE PLAN, KID.
YOU WANNA BE PART
OF MY CREW?
THERE ARE RULES.
RULE NUMBER 1:
KING MAKES THE RULES.
The Animal Control van pulls up.
Tail says SOMEBODY CALLED THE FUZZ,
GUYS!
The man looks at Morgan and says HUH?
HUH?
YOU DON'T SEE THAT
EVERY DAY.
Lou says YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY NEVER WORKED
AT A BALLPARK.
King says TO BE CONTINUED.
DON'T FORGET, YOU OWE ME.
"PAW-PACT."
AND AFTER THIS,
YOU JUST MADE SURE THAT
WHEN I CALL IN THE FAVOR,
IT'S GOING TO BE HUGE.
HEIST'S OVER!
GO, GO, GO!
Morgan says YEAH, YOU BETTER RUN!
A dog says WE'RE SO CLOSE!
King says WE WON'T FORGET THIS!
WE'LL BE BACK!
Morgan says AND YOU...
BETTER HIDE.
[PANTING]
Spark hides under the hot dog cart.
Lou comes along and says I'M PRETTY SURE
I SAW ANOTHER DOG HERE.
Morgan says WHAT? NOPE.
YOU CHASED THEM ALL OFF.
The man says SEE, LOU?
YOU NEED TO GET
YOUR EYES CHECKED.
PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY?
Principal Schiffley says YES?
The man says MAY I HELP YOU DOWN?
OH.
UM...
OKAY, IF I...
OH. CAN I...
I'LL JUST PUT MY...
UM...
OH. ALL RIGHT.
[STRAINING]
Principal Schiffley says WELL, UH, I THINK YOU HAVE IT
FROM HERE, EDWARDS.
I'LL SEE YOU AT THE GAME.
AND, UH, LET'S NEVER
SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN.
The man says YOU HEARD THE LADY.
Morgan says YOU KNOW,
I SHOULD BE MAD,
BUT YOU DID CHASE
THAT BIG DOG OFF.
Spark whimpers.
Morgan says OKAY, OKAY.
APOLOGY ACCEPTED.
[BARKS]
Morgan says SEE YOU TOMORROW?
Corazon says SPARK!
WE WERE WORRIED
ABOUT YOU.
Whiz says WE SAW WHAT YOU DID THERE.
Spark says WHAT?
Whiz says OR DIDN'T DO.
YOU WERE ABOUT TO GET YOUR PAWS
ON A LOT OF HOT DOGS,
AND THEN YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND.
AND STOOD UP TO KING!
Corazon says PRETTY COOL.
Spark says I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE.
I DIDN'T WANT MORGAN
TO GET HURT.
Whiz says OH! SO SUDDENLY, THE HUMAN
ISN'T SO BAD AFTER ALL.
Corazon says WE'RE SORRY, SPARK.
WE...
I MEAN, WHIZ DIDN'T MEAN
TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD BEFORE.
Spark says YOU DIDN'T.
IT WASN'T EITHER OF YOU.
IT WAS ME.
I GOT LOST
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
BUT I'M NOT LOST ANYMORE.
Corazon says WHO'S A GOOD DOGGY?
AH, BOO BOO BOO.
Spark says DON'T.
Later at the game, Morgan gives out hotdogs to the players and says HOT DOG,
HOT DOG FOR YOU.
THANK YOU.
[SPARK BARKS]
Morgan gives one to Spark and says GOOD GIRL, SPARK!
[SPARK WHIMPERS]
Morgan says HOT DOG FOR YOU.
HERE YOU GO.
A girl says THANK YOU.
[WHIZ BARKS]
Morgan gives another one to Whiz and says YEAH. GOOD BOY, WHIZ.
HOT DOG.
A boy says THANKS.
[CORAZON BARKS]
Morgan gives one to Corazon and says HOT DOG.
Principal Schiffley says EDWARDS!
Morgan gasps and says BACK TO THE CART.
THOSE HOT DOGS
AREN'T GONNA SELL THEMSELVES!
[CHUCKLES]
Morgan says BACK TO WORK, MA'AM!
The pups eat their hot dogs.
Spark says MMM. MMM.
I COULD'VE THOUGHT OF
AN EASIER WAY TO GET A HOT DOG,
[CLICKS TONGUE]
BUT THIS SURE IS DELICIOUS!
Corazon says WAIT A MINUTE.
WE'RE EATING DOGS?
(music plays)
The end credits roll.
Executive Producer, TVO Kids.
The TVO Kids and Air Bud logos appear on a white screen.
A caption reads "Air Bud Entertainment Presents."
A street sign reads "Welcome to Wolfhead. Where friendship comes first."
[SHIVERING]
Spark shivers in a box on the street.
King, a German Sheppard, comes along with the Lost Dogs and says SO. STILL LIVING
THE CARDBOARD BOX LIFE.
HOW'S THAT WORKING OUT
FOR YOU?
Spark says IT'S HOME. IT'S MINE.
AND I'M JUST FINE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, KING?
King THIS ISN'T ABOUT
WHAT I WANT.
IT'S ABOUT
WHAT YOU DESERVE.
A SHELTER SHOULD BE
AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST.
Spark says LIKE I SAID, I'M GOOD HERE.
King says ARE YOU?
MY HIDEOUT IS WARM.
DRY.
Spark says AND ALL IT WOULD COST
IS MY FREEDOM.
WORKING FOR YOU.
King says WITH, KID, WITH!
WHERE A SMART, SAVVY
PUP LIKE YOU BELONGS.
Spark says YOU MEAN LIKE HIM?
Another dog looks at his reflection on a puddle and says COME ON. COME ON, MAN!
YEAH, YOU!
SCRAM! GET OUTTA MY PUDDLE!
King says THAT'S YOUR REFLECTION!
The dog says WHOA! OH, YEAH.
YOU'RE RIGHT!
THAT'S AMAZING!
Spark says BESIDES, I HAVE A PLACE
I BELONG.
King says YOU BELONG WITH
THE LOST DOGS.
STOP TRYING TO BELONG
SOMEWHERE YOU DON'T.
[PUP ACADEMY WHISTLE BLOWING]
King says YOU SHOULD REALLY GIVE
THE LOST DOGS A TRY.
THINK ABOUT IT, KID.
Spark says I DID. I WON'T.
AND I GOTTA GO!
[WHISTLE CONTINUES BLOWING]
Another dog from the gang says LET'S DO SOME DAMAGE.
King says NAH, SHE'LL COME AROUND.
On his way to the academy, Spark runs into two agents from Animal Control.
Spark says OH, NO!
[GASPS]
She hides in a basket full of fish at the fish market.
[GRUNTING]
The woman hits him and makes the man spill his coffee.
The man says LOU!
Lou says I SWEAR I SAW THAT STRAY.
The man says I SWEAR YOU NEED
TO GET YOUR EYES CHECKED.
MAN, THAT'S HOT!
As they leave, Spark comes out and says UGH! FISH.
I HATE FISH.
The woman says AH.
[PUP ACADEMY WHISTLE BLOWING]
At the academy, pups come out of the fire hydrants.
[BITE SNIFFING]
Bite says WHOA, SPARK!
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU FALL IN A BUCKET
OF CAT FOOD?
Spark says NO!
[LAUGHING]
Rotty says BUCKET OF CAT FOOD!
GOOD ONE, BITE.
YOU'RE HILARIOUS!
Bite chuckles and says TRY NOT TO STINK UP
THE JOINT, OKAY?
SOME OF US ARE
TRYING TO LEARN.
Spark says UGH! CAN YOU BELIEVE
THOSE GUYS?
Corazon says DON'T LISTEN
TO THOSE GROWLERS.
Whiz says YOU ARE A BIT SMELLY, THOUGH.
Spark says GREAT, THANKS.
Whiz says COME ON.
WE SHOULD FIX THIS.
WE WANT EVERYONE
TO THINK YOU BELONG.
King's voice says STOP TRYING TO BELONG
SOMEWHERE YOU DON'T.
The theme song plays.
At the academy, Charlie turns on a device that lights up the fire hydrants and activates the pups' collars. Fast clips show them at school and playing. Morgan, Charlie and Izzy have fun with the pups and go on several adventures.
The song playsYEAH, HERE WE ARE, WE'RE
ALWAYS LEARNING SOMETHING NEW
THERE MAY BE UPS AND DOWNS
BUT WE'LL BE COMIN' THROUGH
SO PAY ATTENTION
WE'LL PICK UP A THING OR TWO
UH-OH-O-OH
I'LL BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
YOU GOT ME DAY AND NIGHT
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE
FOR YOU
AND I KNOW
YOU'RE THERE FOR ME TOO
AND WE GOT THAT BOND
FOR LIFE
NO MATTER WHAT
NO MATTER WHAT
I GOT YOU LIKE THAT
Against the night sky, the name of the show appears. It reads "Pup Academy. Created by Anna McRoberts."
In his workshop, Charlie and Morgan give Spark a bath.
Charlie says THIS IS WHAT WE CALL
A TEACHABLE MOMENT.
EXHIBIT A.
UH, SUBJECT DOG
HAS BEEN ROLLING IN FISH.
Morgan groans.
[GROANING]
Spark says GUYS, GETTING ITCHY.
MUST SHAKE!
Corazon says UH, DON'T DO IT, DUDE!
Charlie says SHE'S GONNA SHAKE!
OH, NO! OH, NO!
Whiz says UGH! FISH SMELL!
Corazon says EW!
Morgan bathes Spark as Charlie brushes Corazon.
Morgan says WHOA. WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME YOU TOOK A BATH?
[LAUGHING]
Corazon laughs and says SORRY, DUDE, BUT YOU DO
LOOK LIKE A COTTON BALL.
Under the dryer, Whiz says HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHAT A COTTON BALL IS?
Corazon says CAN YOU EVER TRULY KNOW
SOMETHING UNTIL YOU'VE EATEN IT?
Whiz says WHAT?
Spark says AT LEAST THIS CAN'T GET
ANY MORE HUMILIATING.
Charlie says OKAY, WHAT KIND
OF SCENT WOULD YOU LIKE?
PINE OR NEW CAR SMELL?
Spark says HMM?
In the classroom, Headmistress Gruff says GOOD MORNING, PUPS.
WELCOME TO HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
TODAY'S LESSON IS ON
ONE OF THE MOST CONFUSING
OF ALL HUMAN BEHAVIORS;
BABY TALK.
AND I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT HUMAN BABIES TALKING,
I'M TALKING ABOUT ADULTS
TALKING LIKE HUMAN BABIES.
CHARLIE? COULD YOU
DEMONSTRATE WITH ROTTY?
Charlie says COME HERE.
ROTTY, COME HERE.
In baby talk, Charlie says YES, YOU'RE A GOOD BOY.
YOU'RE A GOOD BOY.
WHO'S A GOOD BOO BOO?
Bite says ROTTY,
ARE YOU FOR REAL?
Whiz says ACTUALLY, THAT LOOKS DELIGHTFUL!
Gruff says NOTICE THE LACK OF WORDS
AND THE INTENSE EYE CONTACT.
THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS
HUMANS SAY "I LOVE YOU."
Charlie says WHO'S A GOOD "DOGGY-WOGGY"?
Gruff says WE STILL DON'T HAVE
A SCIENTIFIC REASON WHY
ADULT HUMANS TALK
TO DOGS THIS WAY.
ALL WE KNOW FOR SURE IS
THIS MAKES HUMANS
EXCITINGLY HAPPY!
Rotty says OH, YEAH!
ROTTY LOVES THAT, RIGHT THERE.
OH, OH!
I LIKE THAT SCRATCHING!
OH, YEAH! RIGHT THERE, YES!
ROTTY LOVES THAT! [LAUGHS]
Spark says YOU CAN'T SERIOUSLY
BE ENJOYING THAT, CAN YOU?
Rotty says WHAT?
IT'S FOR THE HUMAN. DUH.
A pup says CAN I GO NEXT?
[LAUGHS]
Gruff says IT MAY SEEM SILLY.
Spark says SILLY IS
KIND OF AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
Gruff says YES, HUMANS CAN BE VERY SILLY.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
IN SCHOOL TO LEARN ABOUT THEM?
SPARK, WHY DON'T YOU
GIVE IT A SHOT?
Spark sighs and says COME ON, SPARK.
OKAY, LET'S JUST
GET THIS OVER WITH.
Charlie says MORGAN, WHY DON'T YOU
GIVE IT A SHOT?
Morgan says MM.
AH, BOO BOO.
AH, BOO BOO BOO BA BOO.
Spark says NOPE. NOT FEELING IT.
Morgan says WAIT.
IS IT, "AH, BOO BOO"?
OR IS IT JUST, "AH, BOO"?
Charlie says JUST FEEL IT,
AND IT'LL BE
THE RIGHT AMOUNT
OF "BOO BOOS."
GO AHEAD.
Morgan says AH BOO BOO.
WHO'S A GOOD GIRL?
WHO IS?
Spark says NOPE.
NO WARM HEART.
JUST AN AWKWARD,
WEIRDED OUT VIBE.
NOT REALLY LIKING IT.
A pup says COME ON, SPARK!
GET INTO IT!
Morgan says I DON'T THINK
SPARK LIKES THIS.
Charlie says OH, COME ON,
PUT A LITTLE MUSTARD ON IT.
COME ON.
Morgan says AH, BOO BOO BOO
BA BOO BOO.
Spark says I'M GOOD.
WRAP IT UP!
I DON'T GET IT.
IT'S GETTING ON MY NERVES.
I SAID-- [BARKING]
Spark starts growling and barking at Morgan.
[ALL GASPING]
Gruff says HMM.
Morgan says WHAT DID SHE SAY?
Charlie says UH, IT'S AN OLDER KID WORD.
I'LL TELL YOU
IN A FEW YEARS.
Gruff says NOTE THE SHOCKED LOOK
ON THE HUMAN.
THAT IS A SAD FACE.
THEY ARE NOT,
AS HUMANS SAY, "SIMPATICO."
AND SPARK, THERE'S NO PLACE
FOR THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR HERE.
Spark says OH, YEAH?
WELL, WHERE IS THERE A PLACE
FOR THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR?
Gruff says DETENTION. GO.
[ALL GASP]
[SIGHS]
Morgan says AW, MAN.
I GUESS I NEED TO PRACTICE
MY "AH, BOO BOOS."
Charlie says AH, YOU'LL GET
THE HANG OF IT.
Charlie messes with Morgan's hair and says WHO'S A GOOD BOY?
WHO'S A GOOD BOY?
NOW, TELL ME,
WHO'S A GOOD BOY?
[LAUGHS]
[PHONE VIBRATING]
Morgan gasps and says DANG!
I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL.
GOTTA MOTOR!
Charlie says ALL RIGHT, SEE YOU LATER.
Mister Bannington talks to Principal Schiffley in the hallway and says I HAD CHELSEA DO THAT.
SHE'S REALLY GOOD WITH GRAPHICS
AND EVERYTHING.
Mister Bannington is in his thirties, with short curly brown hair and a beard. He wears gray trousers and a blue sweater.
Principal Schiffley says SHE DID A GOOD JOB.
Mister Bannington says I THINK SO.
Principal Schiffley says MR. BANNINGTON,
THIS LOOKS GREAT.
Mister Bannington says BUT, WE STILL NEED SOMEONE
TO WORK THE HOT DOG CART.
Morgan tries to sneak in the classroom.
Principal Schiffley says MR. EDWARDS.
Morgan gasps and says OH, HEY, MR. BANNINGTON.
AND, UH...
SORRY I'M LATE,
PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY.
IT'S JUST SOMETIMES
I FORGET WHICH DAYS
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HERE
AND WHICH DAYS I'M AT
WORK-STUDY WITH MY GRANDPA.
Principal Schiffley says HMM. WELL,
I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE
GOING TO BE TOMORROW
TO MAKE UP FOR TODAY.
AND TWO DAYS AGO.
AND LAST WEEK.
She gives him a flier.
Morgan says THE ANNUAL BIG GAME
AGAINST THE LAURIER LIONS?
YOU WANT ME TO PLAY?
[LAUGHING]
Principal Schiffley says OH, HEAVENS, NO.
I'VE SEEN YOU IN PE.
YOU'RE GONNA BE MANNING
THE FUND-RAISING
HOT DOG CART.
Mister Bannington says IT'S THE BIGGEST GAME
OF THE YEAR.
AND THE HOT DOGS
ARE THE NUMBER ONE SELLER
OF THE FUND-RAISER!
Morgan says I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE ENTRUSTING ME
WITH SUCH A HUGE
RESPONSIBILITY,
PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY.
I MEAN,
I-- I SHOULD REALLY PASS...
Principal Schiffley says THIS ISN'T A REQUEST.
THE SCHOOL NEEDS
THIS MONEY,
AND YOU NEED
THE EXTRA CREDIT.
AND PEOPLE LOVE HOT DOGS.
Mister Bannington says LOVE 'EM!
Morgan says AND EVERYBODY ELSE SAID NO.
Principal Schiffley says CORRECT. BUT EVERYONE ELSE
WAS ON TIME.
[BELL RINGING]
SPEAKING OF WHICH...
Morgan says OH!
Morgan walks away.
[SIGHS]
[HYDRANTS CHIMING]
Outside, Corazon says SPARK!
HOW WAS DETENTION?
Spark says NOT AMAZING.
HOW WAS KIBBLE?
Corazon says AW, DELICIOUS!
I MEAN, WE ATE IT ALL.
I MEAN,
WHIZ, I TOLD YOU
TO SAVE HER SOME.
Whiz says I DID!
AND YOU LITERALLY ATE IT!
Corazon says I COULDN'T HEAR YOU
OVER MY CHEWING.
THERE'S THE BAD DOGGY.
Bite says WHO'S A BAD DOG?
SPARK IS!
Corazon says COME ON, BITE.
YOU KNOW SPARK
DOESN'T LIKE BABY TALK.
Bite says OR HUMANS, APPARENTLY.
[LAUGHING]
Rotty says OR HUMANS, APPARENTLY.
[LAUGHS]
Spark says WHO NEEDS HUMANS, ANYWAY?
Corazon says WE DO.
WE LOVE OUR HUMANS.
Whiz says SURE, SOMETIMES
THEY'RE HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY JAMES
THINKS IT'S SO IMPORTANT
TO GET SHEEP IN A PEN,
BUT JAMES IS MY BEST FRIEND.
Spark says I THOUGHT WE WERE BEST FRIENDS.
Whiz says WE ARE, BUT BEING
A HUMAN'S BEST FRIEND
IS WHAT PUP ACADEMY
IS ALL ABOUT.
Corazon says YEAH.
OR, WHY ELSE ARE YOU HERE?
WAIT.
THAT CAME OUT WRONG.
Spark says NO.
IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
WHY AM I HERE?
AND IF MY "FRIENDS."
ARE ASKING IT,
MAYBE I DON'T BELONG HERE
AFTER ALL.
He goes back in the fire hydrant and disappears.
[HYDRANT CHIMES]
Corazon says FOR A SMART PUP, THAT WAS
A VERY UNSMART THING TO DO,
YOU KNOW, WHIZ?
Whiz says WHAT?
Spark walk in the junkyard.
King says EH, LOOK AT THIS.
LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY
HAD A LONG DAY.
NOT US, EH, BOYS?
A dog says I CHASED A SQUIRREL
FOR THREE HOURS!
Another dog says I CHEWED A BRICK!
King says WE SPENT THE WHOLE DAY
DOING WHATEVER WE WANTED.
JUST LIKE
WE'LL BE DOING TOMORROW.
Spark says DOES YOUR OFFER STILL STAND?
TO GIVE THE LOST DOGS A TRY?
King says WE THOUGHT
YOU'D NEVER ASK.
At home, Morgan's mom says WHOA! MORGAN?
Morgan says YEAH?
Mom says HONEY, WHAT ARE YOU
STILL DOING HERE?
Morgan says UNLESS I DIDN'T GET
THE STICKY NOTE,
DON'T WE STILL LIVE HERE?
Mom says SWEETHEART,
YOU SHOULD BE AT SCHOOL
PREPARING THE FOOD FOR
THE FUND-RAISER THIS AFTERNOON.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT,
YOUR WORK-STUDY DEPENDS ON IT.
Morgan says MOM, IT'S HOT DOGS.
HOW HARD CAN IT BE?
Mom says MMM.
Morgan says YOU TAKE THEM OUT
OF THE PACKAGE,
PUT IT IN WATER,
ONCE THEY LOOK LESS GROSS,
YOU PUT IT IN A BUN.
Mom says MM-HMM.
FOR 500 PEOPLE.
Morgan says FOR 500...
I'M SORRY, WHAT NOW?
Mom says COME ON, CHOP CHOP!
HAVE ANOTHER BITE, LET'S GO!
COME ON!
On the streets, King says YOU MADE
A GOOD CHOICE, KID.
Spark says I'M JUST TRYING THIS
FOR A DAY.
King says FAIR ENOUGH.
BUT DO YOU REALLY WANT
TO END UP LIKE THAT?
CONTROLLED.
MANIPULATED.
AND WHAT IS THAT?
A DOG IN A PURSE?
DO YOU REALIZE
HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO
THAT WAS A WOLF?
Spark says MAYBE SHE'S HAPPY.
King says HA! MAYBE SHE THINKS
SHE'S HAPPY,
BUT SHE DOESN'T KNOW
FROM FREEDOM.
SHE'S A PET.
GROVELING TO GET ATTENTION,
AND BEGGING FOR MORSELS.
Spark says YOU KNOW WHAT
WOULD MAKE THAT WORSE?
BABY TALK.
King says RIGHT?
THAT'S NOT THE WORLD
YOU BELONG IN.
SO, YOU READY FOR A DAY OF FUN
WITH THE LOST DOGS?
Spark says LEAD THE WAY.
At the school kitchen, Principal Schiffley says THOSE ONIONS ARE REALLY DOING
A NUMBER ON YOUR EYES,
AREN'T THEY?
Morgan says IT'S NOT THE ONIONS,
PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY.
IT'S THE ONIONS
AND THE 500 HOT DOGS
I HAVE TO MAKE.
Principal Schiffley says SIX-HUNDRED. WE SOLD OUT
THE GAME THIS MORNING.
Morgan says SERIOUSLY?
OH, NO.
Principal Schiffley says MORGAN. MORGAN, BREATHE.
BREATHE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS FOLLOW THE MENU.
Morgan says THE MENU?
IT'S JUST HOT DOGS.
MEAT AND BUN.
Principal Schiffley shows him a menu board and says NO, REGULAR.
CHICAGO. GLUTEN FREE.
TOFU DOG.
CHILI DOG. CHEESE DOG.
CHILI CHEESE DOG.
COMPLETED. CORN DOG.
ITALIAN DOG.
POLISH BOY.
DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THAT IS.
TEXAS BARBECUE...
Morgan says THERE'S LIKE 12 DIFFERENT
TYPES OF HOT DOGS HERE!
Principal Schiffley says TWELVE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THERE'S 24!
[GROANS]
Principal Schiffley says MORGAN.
THIS IS WHY I WANTED YOU
TO DO THIS.
BECAUSE YOU NEED
TO LEARN HOW TO PRIORITIZE.
SCHOOL, YOUR WORK-STUDY.
DIFFERENT TYPES
OF HOT DOGS.
YOU NEED A SYSTEM
TO DO IT ALL.
Morgan says SO I COOK THE DOGS HERE.
Principal Schiffley says MM-HMM.
AND THEN YOU LOAD THEM UP
IN THE CART,
PULL THEM OUT ON THE FIELD
FOR 1:10.
Morgan says WHY 1:10?
Principal Schiffley says HALFTIME!
PEAK WIENER TIME,
EDWARDS!
PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY
AT THE START OF THE GAME,
BUT THEY'RE HANGRY
AT HALFTIME.
Morgan says OKAY. OKAY.
Principal Schiffley says I KNOW YOU WON'T
LET ME DOWN.
Morgan says THANKS.
Principal Schiffley says NO.
I KNOW
YOU WON'T LET ME DOWN.
[GULPS]
At the beach, Kind says OH, YEAH!
YOU BETTER RUN, HUMANS.
THIS IS OUR BEACH, NOW!
TAKE THAT,
FLOATY-DUCKY-RUBBER-DUCKY!
SHOW THAT DUCK
WHO'S BOSS, TAIL!
Tail chews on a duck floatie.
Spark says CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY JUST
GAVE US ALL THIS STUFF?
WOO-HOO!
King says SOMEBODY SEEMS TO BE
ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
Spark says YOU KNOW, I GUESS I AM.
King says BET YOU DON'T HAVE THIS MUCH FUN
AT PUP ACADEMY, RIGHT?
Spark says I SPENT ALL DAY YESTERDAY
BEING JUDGED,
AND MAYBE I MISJUDGED YOU.
King says I KEEP TELLING YOU THAT, KID.
YOU BELONG WITH US.
NO LEASHES,
NO COLLARS, NO HUMANS!
BUT ALL THIS FUN,
IT SURE WORKS UP
AN APPETITE, HUH?
Spark says SURE DOES.
King says KID, YOU'RE GONNA LOVE
WHAT'S ON THE MENU
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
[TRUCK APPROACHING]
King says OOH! HERE COMES THE FUZZ.
A DAY LATE,
AND A DOLLAR SHORT. HA!
AWAY WE GO, STRAYS.
The gang runs away from Animal Control.
A dog says OH, HO, HO. YEAH!
WOO, WOO, WOO, WOO!
Lou says THEY'RE GETTING AWAY AGAIN.
A dog says HA HA!
JUST TRY TO KEEP UP, YOU SLUGS!
The man says LOOK AT THIS MESS.
THEY'RE A MENACE!
Lou says THAT'S TOO BAD.
I LOVE A BEACH PARTY.
Back at the school kitchen, Morgan gets his hot dog cart organized and says HOT DOGS COOKED.
BUNS STEAMED.
AND CONDIMENTS ORGANIZED
FOR SPEEDY WEENIE CREATIONS.
Principal Schiffley says I GOTTA ADMIT, EDWARDS,
I'M A LITTLE SURPRISED.
Morgan says WELL, SOMETIMES I CAN
SURPRISE YOU.
Principal Schiffley says HMM. ME TOO.
She shows him a hot dog costume and says SURPRISE.
In the costume, Morgan says WELL, AT LEAST THIS
COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE.
Outside the school, King takes a deep breath and says AH!
SMELL THAT?
THAT'S THE SMELL
OF 600 HOT DOGS.
A dog says WAIT A MINUTE.
WE'RE EATING DOGS?
King says NO, NO, NO, NO.
HUMANS JUST CALL THEM THAT.
ANOTHER INSULT TO OUR KIND.
WE'VE BEEN CASING THIS JOINT
FOR A WHILE.
ONCE A YEAR, SOME KID COMES OUT
OF THE BUILDING WITH A CART
AND A TON OF TASTY HOT DOGS.
HE'LL WALK FROM THE SCHOOL
TO THE FIELD
WHEN THE WHISTLE BLOWS,
AND YOU HEAR CHEERS.
BUT WE CAN NEVER
GET CLOSE ENOUGH.
IF ONLY ONE OF US
COULD FIT THROUGH THAT HOLE
IN THE FENCE,
THEY COULD OPEN THE GATE.
[SIGHS]
OH, WELL, DARE TO DREAM.
Spark says WAIT, I COULD FIT THROUGH
THAT HOLE.
I COULD OPEN THE GATE.
THEN, YOU GUYS COULD RUN IN,
AND CHASE THE HUMAN OFF!
King says SPARK!
WHAT A NOVEL IDEA.
Spark says ONCE THE COAST IS CLEAR,
I'LL SNEAK HOT DOGS
FROM THE CART,
AND LET THE FEAST BEGIN.
King says ALWAYS KNEW
YOU WERE A NATURAL.
Meanwhile, Corazon and Whiz look for Spark on the streets.
[SNIFFING]
Whiz says NOTHING.
NO, SPARK. NOWHERE.
Corazon says I DIDN'T MEAN
TO HURT HER FEELINGS.
WHAT... WHAT IF SHE
DOESN'T COME BACK?
[SNIFFING]
Corazon says SNIFF FASTER!
[WHISTLE BLARING]
King says AND THERE IT IS...
JUST LIKE CLOCKWORK.
Morgan carries the hot dog cart outside and says YOU HAVE MY GUARANTEE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL HOT DOG SALE
YOU'VE EVER KNOWN,
PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY.
[GRUNTS]
King says NOW REMEMBER, FOLLOW THE PLAN,
NO MATTER WHAT.
I'LL TOPPLE THE CART,
AND WE'LL FEAST LIKE KINGS.
IT'S COMING.
DON'T LET ME DOWN, SPARK.
Spark sneaks in and opens the gate.
King says WE'RE IN, BOYS.
TIME TO FEAST!
WOO-HOO!
OH, YEAH!
HOT DOG!
Principal Schiffley says THAT'S A BIG DOG.
Morgan says YEAH.
IT'S NOT
THE MOST COMFORTABLE SUIT,
THAT'S FOR SURE.
Principal Schiffley says NO! NO! BIG DOGS!
[BARKING]
Morgan says BIG DOGS!
HEY, HEY!
HEY, HEY, HEY!
Principal Schiffley jumps on the cart and Morgan climbs up on a dumpster.
[SCREAMING]
Tail looks up at Morgan in the suit and says OH, MAMA.
AM I DREAMING?
IT'S EVEN BIGGER
UP CLOSE!
Morgan says PLEASE EAT ME, TAIL!
Tail says WHAT'S THAT?
WHAT'S THAT,
GIANT HOT DOG?
Morgan says PLEASE EAT ME!
YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT ME.
I'M MOSTLY FOAM!
PLEASE EAT ME.
I'M A DELICIOUS HOT DOG.
Tail says REALLY?
ARE YOU SURE?
Morgan says PLEASE EAT ME, TAIL!
OKAY, WHATEVER YOU SAY,
TALKING HOT DOG.
[SNIFFING]
[KIDS CHEERING]
Corazon says OH, I SMELL HOT DOGS.
Whiz says WOULD YOU FOCUS?
WE'RE SNIFFING TO FIND SPARK.
Corazon says OH, I SMELL HER!
BUT I ALSO SMELL
A LOT OF HOT DOGS.
Whiz says LOOK! OVER THERE!
[WHIMPERING]
[GASPING]
Surrounded by hungry dogs, Principal Schiffley makes a phone call and says HELLO? ANIMAL CONTROL?
[DOGS BARKING]
Principal Schiffley says WE HAVE A SITUATION.
GET HERE IMMEDIATELY!
PLEASE!
NO! NO! NO, NO, NO, NO!
OH, NO.
Morgan says THE HOT DOGS! NO!
Spark says MORGAN?
Morgan says SPARK?
Spark says WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Morgan says YOU'RE IN ON THIS?
Spark says OH, NO.
Morgan says YOU'RE STEALING
MY HOT DOGS?
I BABY TALK TO YOU IN CLASS,
YOU BARK AT ME,
AND NOW YOU'RE STEALING.
Tail says OH, I'M GONNA EAT YOU
IN ONE BITE, HOT DOG.
Morgan says AH! HELP!
Spark says I'VE GOTTA HELP MORGAN!
She grabs Tail by the tail.
Tail says OW!
THAT'S MY TAIL!
QUIT IT, SPARK.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[GROWLING]
King says HEY!
Principal Schiffley says AH!
Tail says THAT'S MY TAIL, SPARK!
King says WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Spark says I CAN'T LET YOU HURT THIS KID,
KING.
King says STICK TO THE PLAN, KID.
YOU WANNA BE PART
OF MY CREW?
THERE ARE RULES.
RULE NUMBER 1:
KING MAKES THE RULES.
The Animal Control van pulls up.
Tail says SOMEBODY CALLED THE FUZZ,
GUYS!
The man looks at Morgan and says HUH?
HUH?
YOU DON'T SEE THAT
EVERY DAY.
Lou says YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY NEVER WORKED
AT A BALLPARK.
King says TO BE CONTINUED.
DON'T FORGET, YOU OWE ME.
"PAW-PACT."
AND AFTER THIS,
YOU JUST MADE SURE THAT
WHEN I CALL IN THE FAVOR,
IT'S GOING TO BE HUGE.
HEIST'S OVER!
GO, GO, GO!
Morgan says YEAH, YOU BETTER RUN!
A dog says WE'RE SO CLOSE!
King says WE WON'T FORGET THIS!
WE'LL BE BACK!
Morgan says AND YOU...
BETTER HIDE.
[PANTING]
Spark hides under the hot dog cart.
Lou comes along and says I'M PRETTY SURE
I SAW ANOTHER DOG HERE.
Morgan says WHAT? NOPE.
YOU CHASED THEM ALL OFF.
The man says SEE, LOU?
YOU NEED TO GET
YOUR EYES CHECKED.
PRINCIPAL SCHIFFLEY?
Principal Schiffley says YES?
The man says MAY I HELP YOU DOWN?
OH.
UM...
OKAY, IF I...
OH. CAN I...
I'LL JUST PUT MY...
UM...
OH. ALL RIGHT.
[STRAINING]
Principal Schiffley says WELL, UH, I THINK YOU HAVE IT
FROM HERE, EDWARDS.
I'LL SEE YOU AT THE GAME.
AND, UH, LET'S NEVER
SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN.
The man says YOU HEARD THE LADY.
Morgan says YOU KNOW,
I SHOULD BE MAD,
BUT YOU DID CHASE
THAT BIG DOG OFF.
Spark whimpers.
Morgan says OKAY, OKAY.
APOLOGY ACCEPTED.
[BARKS]
Morgan says SEE YOU TOMORROW?
Corazon says SPARK!
WE WERE WORRIED
ABOUT YOU.
Whiz says WE SAW WHAT YOU DID THERE.
Spark says WHAT?
Whiz says OR DIDN'T DO.
YOU WERE ABOUT TO GET YOUR PAWS
ON A LOT OF HOT DOGS,
AND THEN YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND.
AND STOOD UP TO KING!
Corazon says PRETTY COOL.
Spark says I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE.
I DIDN'T WANT MORGAN
TO GET HURT.
Whiz says OH! SO SUDDENLY, THE HUMAN
ISN'T SO BAD AFTER ALL.
Corazon says WE'RE SORRY, SPARK.
WE...
I MEAN, WHIZ DIDN'T MEAN
TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD BEFORE.
Spark says YOU DIDN'T.
IT WASN'T EITHER OF YOU.
IT WAS ME.
I GOT LOST
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
BUT I'M NOT LOST ANYMORE.
Corazon says WHO'S A GOOD DOGGY?
AH, BOO BOO BOO.
Spark says DON'T.
Later at the game, Morgan gives out hotdogs to the players and says HOT DOG,
HOT DOG FOR YOU.
THANK YOU.
[SPARK BARKS]
Morgan gives one to Spark and says GOOD GIRL, SPARK!
[SPARK WHIMPERS]
Morgan says HOT DOG FOR YOU.
HERE YOU GO.
A girl says THANK YOU.
[WHIZ BARKS]
Morgan gives another one to Whiz and says YEAH. GOOD BOY, WHIZ.
HOT DOG.
A boy says THANKS.
[CORAZON BARKS]
Morgan gives one to Corazon and says HOT DOG.
Principal Schiffley says EDWARDS!
Morgan gasps and says BACK TO THE CART.
THOSE HOT DOGS
AREN'T GONNA SELL THEMSELVES!
[CHUCKLES]
Morgan says BACK TO WORK, MA'AM!
The pups eat their hot dogs.
Spark says MMM. MMM.
I COULD'VE THOUGHT OF
AN EASIER WAY TO GET A HOT DOG,
[CLICKS TONGUE]
BUT THIS SURE IS DELICIOUS!
Corazon says WAIT A MINUTE.
WE'RE EATING DOGS?
