All Dogs go to Heaven (2019 Remake)/Transcript

Prelude
(Inside an Industrial-style building, a dark silhouette is sneaking through and unlocks a cage containing a bloodhound and basset hound.)

Bloodhound - Thanks.

Silhouette - Think nothing of it. (The bloodhound and Basset hound make their way to the exit as the silhouette goes through more of the cages, until He sees a German Shepherd.) Ooh... oh no... (Stifles His mouth and sneezes quietly.)

German Shepherd - Itchy? Is that You? (The silhouette comes into the light, revealing a Dachshund wearing a baseball cap.) Itchy, It IS you!

Itchy - Shh! Shh. (Quietly) I’ve been going back and forth for almost an hour, fitting keys to each cage, and freeing the dogs, hoping I’d free you, Charlie.

Charlie - But, how did you get out?

Itchy - Well, I was lucky that I got put in a cage with weak hinges, so tackling the door open was easy. Hopefully, I’ll get You out before too long. (Itchy goes to the desk and grabs a key, and unlocks Charlie.)

Charlie - Thanks, Itchy. (Looks up.) Uh-Oh.

Itchy - What do you mean— (Notices a worker coming toward Itchy.) Oh, I see. (Makes a run for it from the worker as Charlie run to the hall and pulls the fire alarm.)

Worker - Wha? Don’t tell Me— (Itchy makes a break for the exit, but sees the freed dogs in front of a barbed wire gate.)

Itchy - Oh. I didn’t know they had a barbed wire gate. (The worker grabs Itchy, But Charlie tackles Him.)

Charlie - In the truck! (The dogs go inside the truck as Charlie and Itchy go in the driver’s seat Of the dogcatcher’s truck.)

Worker - Hey! Those mutts are stealing our truck! (Charlie drives the truck, smashing through the gate, and drives away from the pound as gunshots are heard.)

Itchy - Ohh... Thank goodness it’s over... (The screen blacks out and fades in at Jackson Square, where the dogs exit the truck.)

Bloodhound - Thanks, Charlie. You and Itchy were a great help.

Basset Hound - Thank You.

Plott Hound - I'm going back to My family in Lafayette.

Schnauzer - Morgan City for Me. (The other dogs leave.)

Itchy - Well, I'm glad everything worked out. We escaped with our lives.

Charlie - Not Everything.

Itchy - Huh?

Charlie - Itch, There's still the matter hiding out from the authorities, and I know just the place.

Chapter 1 - At the Casino
(The Scene changes to a swampy area, where We zoom in to a run-down casino boat.)

Voice - Three... Two... One... (A gunshot is heard inside.)

Announcer - And it begins! (10 Cats go through an obstacle course.) What a Cat Race this is turning out! (the cats jumped on a trampoline and grabbed hold on roped ladders.) and the highest jump has gone to Onionhead! and He makes it up along with the others. And They're at No-Flatline Road! (The cats run at a heartbeat-based road.) Fishy Chips is going quite well, with the running, but He won't make it easy for the others.(The Cats race through an area with yarn strings) Ooh! most of them are confounded by the tight yarn strings in Yarn Jungle! (The Cats go up a spiral pipe) And leading the pack going inside the tongue-twisting tunnel is... It's Reaper! (The Cats go up a 60 degree incline.) And with the cheers and boos all around, the cats are now going up, up, up! and stamina's key. Wait! (Sees a brown cat sneak through the others.) Whoa! Slick is sneaking past and makes it first up the top! and are now at the Screen Floor! (The cats race through the floor full of screen doors as two cats are stuck.) Wait, Wait! Oh, No! Crawdaddy and Ghost are stuck! They can't get out! (Crawdaddy grabs one of the cat's tails and in a haste, races to the pillow pitfalls and goes inside Hole 6.) Crawdaddy makes it, but gets an automatic lose! (The others fall in different holes. Nine of the cats are in cages, as one lands safely on a pillow.) The Winner is Scrawny! Scrawny will be alongside Nine others at the Final Race tonight! Where only one cat will win the whole pepper plant! (The Dogs boo and cheer.) But worry not, folks. We got Three more races coming your way, and then the final race, where a winner's bet will be 50 fold!

White Samoyed Dog - (Russian Accent) Well, Syn, You're right. I think the House is podstroyennyy.

Chinook - Ugh. It's times like this that I wish I'd pay attention to ALL the cats at the same time.

Newfoundland - Hey, what are the odds on Brunette Whiskers?

Doberman - 50 to one.

Newfoundland - 50? Okay... I'll select Jittery Jimmy for the win. (Gives three bones to the doberman as a Beagle gives a squeaky toy to the doberman.)

Beagle - Obsidian Claws to Win! (The doberman swats the squeaky toy away.)

Doberman - No Squeaky Toys, Sneak. real food only.

Announcer - OK, bets are over! Race Eight begins in Three... Two... One-- (A Howl is heard, startling all inside the Casino. They all see Charlie and Itchy coming in.)

Charlie - Hey, There! Did I come at a bad time?

Itchy - Yeah, what He said.

Charlie - Itchy, I wasn't told they would look like They saw a ghost.

Itchy - Come on, Charlie. Ghosts don't exist. If they were, the world would be filled with them a very long time ago.

German Wirehair - Charlie... Is that You? Weren't You on death row?

Charlie - No. I wasn't supposed to the second I was sent to the pound.

Itchy - "I"? Hey, I got caught too, but I broke Him out and a few others. Charlie, Your patrons look like They lost more than just their winnings.

Charlie - I'll remedy that. Let Me somehow and someway, make them feel like Their lucky day... They say the Games are rigged today, I'll reimburse them, That I'll say... (Tosses a marble at a roulette wheel which lands on "Double Zero") Ha Ha! (A Pile of bones falls on the table as the patrons cheer and gather.) Come on, Itchy! (Itchy comes to the piano and dances on it.)

Charlie - ''Oh you can't keep a good dog down! ''

Itchy' '- No, sir!

''Charlie -No, you can't keep a good dog down! I've seen pain and hurt.''

Itchy -That's right!

Charlie - I've eaten dirt.

Itchy - Big Yuck!

''Charlie - It's hard to buy but even I. Have been rejected by a skirt? (Why?) Look out, I'm still around. 'Cause you can't keep a good dog down. Ya can't keep a good dog down (Of course Not!) No no no no, you can't keep a good dog down. I've been bought and sold. (He goes for Gold.) And once I'm old as You'll see. (The destinations that He'll be.)''

Dog - And what are they? (The Music stops with a needle scratch.) I'm just saying.

Charlie - Good question. (Music builds up) I could Say so long, at the Great Hong Kong.

Itchy - I couldn't say no, to go to Rio.

Charlie - Cha-cha-cha in St. Lucia.

Itchy - All play and no work, going to New York.

Dogs - New York?!

Charlie (and Itchy) - There's No denial going to the Nile. ''But the places I'd go where Gambling is Good. Monte Carlo!''

Itchy - Reno!

Charlie - Macau!

Itchy - Singapore!

Charlie'' - Vegas! To name a few.''

Dogs - (Singing) ''But, Ya can't keep a good dog down, Ha ha ha ha! Ya can't keep a good dog down, Ha ha ha ha! (A Schnoodle wakes up and sees the dogs dancing. in His point of view, He sees blurs. and when the Schonnodle puts on His glasses and sees Charlie and Itchy, He panics.)''

Itchy - (Singing) Through the Thick and Thin.

Charlie - (Singing) And in Life, I win.

Itchy - (Singing) He's sharper than a safety pin.

Charlie - (Singing) as I live a life of Sin.

Itchy and Charlie - (Singing) ''So tonight when we own this town... I've known hunger, I've known thirst. Lived the best, seen the worst. But, the only way I know. To finish best to finish first. So, watch out when you hear this sound. (Both of them howl.)  'Cause you can't keep a good dog, Nope! Can't keep a good, I say, You can't keep a good dog down...! Yeah!''

Chapter 3 - Charlie in Heaven
Voice - Charlie...? Charlie... (In Charlie's viewpoint, He opens His eyes to see an ethereal world. then a blue sphere appears and inside is a beautiful Whippet Dog playing with a spherical gem.) Hello, Charles. I am Annabelle.

Charlie - Wha-- You know my name? And Why are there marshmallows almost all around?

Annabelle - Silly Charles. They’re not marshmallows. they’re clouds. (Charlie makes a double take at Annabelle and wags His tail.) You must be quite excited.

Charlie - Huh? (Sees His tail wagging, so He stops it from wagging.) Sorry. Excited for what?

Annabelle - Well, for the next world. Here, you can do just about anything. (Singing) In this realm, whatever your mind desires, it is more beautiful than colorful sky fires...

Charlie - Oh, You mean firecrackers. Sure, they’re loud like mad, but when you look at them, it’s quite beautiful. But, I’m glad there are kinder canines here, unlike that M, U, T, T, Carface.

Annabelle - Well, I wasn't this kind-hearted back in 18-something-something. I chased Cats, Rabbits, anything that was smaller than Me. My Father was a Terrier and My Mom was a greyhound.

Charlie - What You were born in the 1800s? What happened to You to get here?

Annabelle - Well, I was chasing a cat, at a country club, and before I knew it, I was bitten by a snake and after a few minutes, well... you know.

Charlie - Oh... How tragic.

Annabelle - In any case, come along with Me. (She floats to a library as Charlie follows and sees dogs of all sizes and ages.) As You can see, whether You're bad or not, All Dogs can go to Heaven, even You. (Grabs a blank book and passes it to Charlie, which turns Violet) Ooh. It's violet. Thank You. (takes the book back and opens it.)

Charlie - You can see color?

Annabelle - Of course, In heaven, Dogs can see in color. The violet color signifies that Your greatest vice in your earthly life was Greed. Hmm. "Charlie Barkin, Son of Burt Barkin and Loni Bowzer, born in 1937, Elder brother of Deidra--"

Charlie - Wha-- I have a sister?

Annabelle - Yes. She was born some time after You ran away from home.

Charlie - I have a sister... and I never got the chance to meet Her...? I shouldn't be here.

Annabelle - Well, in the old days, You're right. if it were up to them, you’d be going down there. (Points at a scary place with fire and brimstone.) but times have changed, since the vices of Extravagance, Arrogance, Sorrow, and Negligence became archaic. And You can do just about anything here.

Charlie - Like... Marriage, checking on your friends from above, becoming a ghost or anything related to what Earth dogs used to do?

Annabelle - Mostly, No. and becoming a ghost is only a scary concept made by humans to scare others. And marriage can only exist on planet earth. However, You CAN check on Your friends and family. and a few other things.

Charlie - Like What? (A pink cloud lifts up Charlie and Annabelle.)

Annabelle - I'll answer that. In this world You can wish for just about anything... be it food, your own house, perhaps your own wings. (Charlie grows wings.) You can even become what your mind desires. (Turns into a hairless cat, causing Charlie to cover His eyes.) Why are-- Oh! sorry. (Turns into a slender pink siamese cat)

Charlie - H-How did You do that? Is this some kind of test to see if I'm malicious against cats?

Annabelle - In this order, I just imagine My own being as a cat. and No, It's not a test. But, it's a good suggestion. You should try it too. (Charlie tries it, and becomes a Maine Coon cat.) Hmm. Not a bad choice.

Charlie - Annabelle, was it? have You ever wanted to know what planet earth looks like since the 1800s?

Annabelle - like what? In heaven, there are plenty that you can do.

Charlie - Still, It's not the same. of course, there are a lot of perks in heaven. (Dances a tango with Annabelle.)

Annabelle - You dance quite well, Charlies. I've a feeling You'll be quite happy here since You're now deceased.

Charlie - Deceased? What's that mean?

Annabelle - It means You passed away. (Long pause.) You're dead. Charlie - WHAT?! DEAD?! As an "I'm .....I am.... Annabelle - Stone Cold, I'm afraid. Charlie - I can't believe it! That two-faced double-crossing rat has murdered me! (despair) And I never had a chance to say goodbye to Itchy and all of my friends... Please, Annabelle, isn't there a way for me to return to earth to say good-bye to all of my friends, especially Itchy? Anything?

Annabelle - Well, today’s not the new moon. So, yes. But... Charlie: But?

Annabelle - Well, not many dogs would want to return to earth, unless they have unfinished business. (Plucks a hair from Charlie’s Head.) Charlie: OUCH! Hey!

Annabelle - Sorry. In the event that a puppy is about to be born in the world of the living, (drops the hair in a cloud, which becomes a newborn puppy, which goes to planet earth.) this happens. Now, (Places a brown collar around Charlie’s neck.) You’ll have 13 days to get your affairs in order and complete the eleven heaven bound tasks. Fail, and well... (points down at a place with fire and brimstone, where a devilish hound is laughing evilly.) Devil hound: HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!! Come on! Lemme have him! Send him down!

(Charlie impulsively wraps His arms around Annabelle.)

Annabelle - Not even I would wish that on My worst enemy. and for good measure, Charles. Tell me a lie. any lie Charlie: A lie? Uh....i'm always a bad dog? (The Collar turns pink, causing Him to feel some pain.)

Annabelle - Well, You've done plenty of bad deeds, But, You weren't always that. I mean, You helped some dogs escape from a shelter. try something else.

Charlie - Ok. Um... I once bit a cat's tail off. (feels pain as His collar turns red.)

Annabelle - Ha ha ha. You didn't really do that. but, that will happen when You do a bad deed. but to make the pain go away, do a good deed. Charlie: So...you're telling me...that I must do the right thing to make the pain go away? Ok...um....What I really wish for....is that cats and dogs are to be good friends. (The Collar turns pink again)

Annabelle - It may take some time, but You DO have 13 days. (snaps Her digits, producing a vortex portal.) Good Luck, Charles. (As Charlie is being sucked into the portal, He grabs Annabelle on impulse, which pulls Her in as well.) Annabelle - What are You--? (He and Annabelle are warped into the portal.)

(outside the casino, a cat is quietly searching for food, when a splash is heard.) Cat: Huh? what's that? (sees Charlie rise from the water.) GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! (Goes to run but twists His ankle.) My Ankle! (Annabelle rises from the water as well.)

Annabelle - Charlie why’d You bring me here with You?! Charlie: I can't do this alone.

Annabelle - So, You pulled Me to the world of the living as your way of showing Me— (Notices the cat.) Ah! Tasty cat! (Goes to get the cat, but, Charlie restrains Her.) Charlie: No, Annabelle! I don't think that is one of the good deeds. (A part of His collar turns gold, much to Charlie's notice.)

Cat - Don’t come any closer! I was only looking for food! (Annabelle calms down) Charlie: Hey easy, easy there, little guy. We're not going to eat ya.

Cat - I-- really? Charlie: Of course not. (The Cat sighs of relief.) Anyway, I'm Charlie.

Cat - Nice to meet You. I'm Tabasco. Charlie: Nice to meet you

Tabasco - And who's the slender canine? (points at Annabelle)

Charlie - Huh? What's slender mean-- Oh, her? That is my new friend Annabelle. (Annabelle is seen shaking the water off Her.)

Charlie - Annabelle, this is Tabasco. and what's slender mean?

Tabasco: Oh, that? It means skinny or slim or--ow! My ankle... Charlie - Do You want to stay somewhere?

Tabasco - Actually, I've been looking for My girlfriend for 4 days, and I can't rest. Charlie: Ok then, let's go find her together.

Annabelle - Charles, Tabby, or Tabbing. or whoever He is, needs some rest. I mean, He needs some rest. Tabasco - Hmm. Good point. (Charlie then pick up the cat and they carried to Charlie's place where he and Itchy lives.)

Inside the building, Itchy is shaking in His sleep.) Itchy - Charlie... where did You go?
