(OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
DUG: Ah!
Oh!
-(GRUNTS) -Come on now, that doesn't hurt.
DUG: Ah! I do not like my foot to be cut off.
-It's your toenail. -(WINCES)
You know, if you were out in the wild, your nails wouldn't get this long.
-(DUG WINCES) -You are a house pet now.
-DUG: A pet? (GRUNTS) -Yeah.
I take care of you,
and your only job is to sleep, eat, and say moderately funny things.
DUG: Do I still have a feet?
-See? Moderately funny. -(WINCES)
All done. Go on, get out of here.
DUG: (SIGHS) I do have a feet.
I will run away now.
(GRUNTS)
(GASPS) Oh, boy! It is a small mailman.
-Hey, Dug. How you doing, boy? -(BARKS)
I have missed you.
I am happy that now your den is next to ours.
Mmm...
(SNIFFS)
(SNIFFING) Oh... Mmm...
Ah...
Are you going to eat that?
-I would be happy if you did not. -(CHUCKLES)
Oh, that is okay. I really did not want the food.
No, not at all. And I... Squirrel!
(BARKING) I'm warning you once again, Squirrel.
I will not warn you after that.
Maybe I will warn you.
I will decide tomorrow about another warning. Ha!
SQUIRREL: So what? Fine with that. Uh-huh. Don't care! No, I don't. Don't care.
DUG: Wha...
Yes!
(SINGING) A Wilderness Explorer only needs
The skills to help the others
The deers and wolves and bears and birds that have lot of feathers
-Thank you, Mr. Muntz. -(FLY BUZZING)
FLY: Later, I will walk on your food.
Yup, it works.
(BEEPING)
Whoa! (CHUCKLES)
The wilderness must be explored!
(SQUIRREL CHITTERS)
(BEEPS)
SQUIRREL: Whoa! What's this? Don't like it one bit.
-No, I don't. -Yes!
(BEEPS)
BIRD: Huh? Oh, no!
Who said that? (GASPS AND SQUAWKS) It's me.
SNAIL: (SINGING) I'm enjoying a day in the garden
DUG: You are smart, small mailman.
You made the squirrel talk.
SQUIRREL: Did you do this to me, you... furry bag of acorns, huh?
-Was it you? -DUG: I kind of wish you had not.
SQUIRREL: See this tail? I'm twitching at you. Yeah.
Oh, I know you feel insulted, huh?
Because you are seeing my twitches. Twitch, twitch!
Here's another one. Twitch!
DUG: I do not like your tail when it twitches.
SQUIRREL: Twitch!
DUG: You did it again, Squirrel.
SQUIRREL: Aw, you have a skinny doggy tail that cannot twitch.
DUG: I do not want a fat tail.
BIRD: (CLEARS THROAT) Would you all be quiet?
(SQUAWKING) My babies are sleeping.
And if you wake them up,
they'll be bobbing up and down at me with those open beaks for hours,
so be quiet!
DUG: Wow, everything can talk.
SQUIRREL: (SIGHS) I don't have time for this.
I have to go and bury a nut.
-Twitch! -(DUG GROANS)
-(CHUCKLES) -WOMAN: Russell.
You need to take out the trash.
But I didn't finish my...
WOMAN: Don't you need a "Help Your Mom" badge?
Aw!
(SNIFFING)
Here.
There you go.
DUG: Oh, thank you.
(SNIFFS)
Hi there.
SQUIRREL: I want that sandwich.
BIRD: Look at that sandwich!
SQUIRREL: It will be mine. BIRD: I'll get it from that dog.
SQUIRREL: I can just taste it.
BIRD: That dog doesn't deserve that sandwich.
(SIGHS)
DUG: Oh, kitty litter.
SQUIRREL: Give me that! DUG: No!
That's my sandwich. I want that.
BIRD: You drop that, it's mine.
DUG: Please stay away from my sandwich. BIRD: Sandwich!
DUG: I will not say please again! SQUIRREL: Slow down!
DUG: (SCREAMS) My sandwich!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
(EAGLE SCREECHES)
(METAL CREAKS)
DUG: I will eat my sandwich now.
BIRD: Wait. I deserve it.
I have babies in a nest who need food.
If I can't provide for them, they will not grow.
SQUIRREL: No, I deserve it.
I'm constantly searching for food to store for the winter.
If I don't eat food now and get fat, I won't survive the cold months.
DUG: Ha, And then you would get dead. SQUIRREL: What?
DUG: That was a joke I know.
BIRD: What is a joke?
DUG: Maybe not the time to say my joke.
BIRD: Stick to the talk of food. SQUIRREL: Yes, the food.
DUG: This food is from the small mailman. He gave it to me to eat.
SQUIRREL: You are given food? No one gives us food.
BIRD: No, they do not. That is why you are fat
and cannot fly.
DUG: I... I...
SQUIRREL: You are also given a warm den by the tall gray monkey.
Do you have to make a nest of leaves to stay warm?
DUG: No.
BIRD: You are given water by the tall gray monkey.
Do you have to fly far to find it?
No.
SQUIRREL: It is so easy for you.
BIRD: Yeah, you are just a pet. SQUIRREL: You're nothing but a pet.
A pet.
-DUG: I know what it is like for you. -(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
I used to be outside for many days.
My pack locked me out.
It is hard to be outside and to find food.
(SIGHS)
(UPLIFTING MUSIC PLAYING)
(BEEPS)
DUG: Poppa, am I just a pet?
Well...
you're my dog.
Sure, I do things for you.
But you get me through my day.
You protect the yard, the house, heck, the whole neighborhood.
You are my pet.
But you are also my best friend.
You're a good boy, Dug.
