Oliver and Company: The Series

Dances With Poodles

(Georgette is lounging on the couch in the Foxworth lounge, watching TV, with a sad expression on her face. Dodger and Oliver are watching from afar.)

Oliver: What does she see in those shows?

Dodger: (chuckles) I know! They're all (in an absurd Spanish accent; flamenco music plays in the background) "Juanita, mi amor, no force in the world can keep me from you! No ocean is wide enough, no mountain is high enough!

(Oliver giggles.)

Oliver: (also in a Spanish accent) Antonio, our amor is stronger than the moon and the sun and the universe! You and I are one, now and until the end of time! (in his normal accent) Anyway, why don't we go knock her down a peg or two?

Dodger: You know what I was thinking, Oliver! (They slap five)

(Dodger and Oliver approach the lounge; Georgette hops off the couch, and approaches the two of them, her eyes red from crying. Dodger and Oliver look confused.)

Dodger: What's on your mind, Princess Poodle? Your German Shepherd prince finally had enough of ya?

Georgette: (angrily_) As a matter of fact, you insensitive mongrel, yes! (theatrically) My darling Rex has left me, and I shall spend the rest of my days alone!

(She races upstairs, crying. Dodger and Oliver look at each other, confused. Back at the houseboat, Dodger is talking to the gang.)

Rita: Oh, this is too juicy! Finally, Georgette's precious Rex has dropped her like a hot tamale!

Dodger: Heard it with my own ears.

Tito: I always wondered what she saw in him, Dodge.

(A FLASHBACK starts. Tito witnesses Georgette lounging on her bed with Rex; both of are dressed as Egyptian pharaohs; Arabian music plays in the background. Tito is visibly disgusted.)

Georgette: Rex-en-khamun, you are my strong, brave Pharaoh. (slips a chocolate into her mouth and eats it)

Rex: And you, Georgette-Patra, are my gorgeous, shining desert bloom.

(Tito's face turns green and he rushes out.)

Georgette: This day can't get anymore perfect. I feel like Queen of the World.

Rex: And I would be your king. (they nuzzle heads)

(The flashback ends. Tito shudders)

Dodger: (mockingly) "My beautiful desert flower?" More like a cactus.

Francis: You know, for all your mockery of Georgette, my good friend, maybe you should help her.

Dodger: Me? Help Georgette? Am I dreaming or did you really just say that, Frankie?

Francis: No, Dodger. This is just a horrible nightmare.
