All Dogs go to Heaven (2019 Remake)/Transcript

Chapter 1 - The Story Begins
(Inside a steel 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 and vest.) Itchy, It IS you!

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

Charlie - But, how did you get out?

Itchy - Well, most people wouldn't notice a cage with weak and rusty hinges, so tackling the door open was easy. But, I’ll get You out before too long. (Itchy goes to the desk and grabs another set of keys, 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, which sound a siren.)

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. Come on.

Chapter 2 - 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 small explosion 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 Pyrite! Pyrite 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... Lava Tongue?

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. 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 and Snakes make horrible spectators.

Charlie - Heh. That's a good one, Itch.

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 Schnoodle puts on His glasses and sees Charlie and Itchy, He panics as He is grabbed by Charlie and Itchy at the bar.)''

Itchy - (Singing) Through the Thick and Thin.

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

Itchy - (Singing) 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... You Can't keep a good... dog.... doooo-o-o-o-o-own! Ba-da, Ba-da, Ba da! (Itchy slips on a puddle of beer and lands in a broom closet. the dogs laugh with Charlie as the Schnoodle pouts in annoyance.)''

Chapter 3 - Carface's Murder Plot
(Inside a Flashy room, the Schnoodle comes in.)

Schnoodle - Boss? Hello? Carface, Could I conversate with You? It's about, You-know-Who. We had Him set up and imprisoned in the animal shelter--

Carface - Killer, Four things. One, Conversate Isn't a word. Two, I know Who You-Know-Who is, Three, The only bad thing about an Animal Shelter is that if You're not adopted within an amount of Time, It's death. and Four and most importantly, I will not share half of My industry with My business partner.

Killer - You want Me to stuff onions down His throat? strangle Him with piano wire? maybe crush His head with pliers? Huh?

Carface - Killer, That's no way to treat an old friend. Besides, I'll deal with Charlie, Accordingly. But, Killer, Why Onions? (Reads a notepad.) An Icepick? No. Paint Thinner? I don't think so. Chocolate? Nah, too Gruesome. Hmm.

Charlie's Voice - Carface? (laughs.) I want a word with You.

Carface - We'll talk Later, Killer. (Puts away His notepad.) and get the hemlock berries ready.

Charlie - Carface? (Laughs heartily, then a door to Carface's room opens as a Violet Whippet enters.)

Carface - Ah. Charlie! Has it been too long?

Charlie - "Too Long"? Ha ha ha! (jumps over Carface.) Oh. You lost some weight. (Laughs) I guess You decided to eat some blueberries, huh? (turns on a radio playing jazz.)

Carface - Charlie, This is not the time to talk about diet. (Turns off the radio.) And what reason did You have coming here?

Violet Whippet - Boss, One of Our customers won big at a slot machine.

Carface - Don't remind Me. (The Violet Whippet leaves.)

Charlie - Well, I'm thinking about some renovating. (Turns on the radio to Dixieland music.) Maybe some curtains, and a place where gamblers can leave their puppies when They can't afford pupsitters. maybe, get others interested in culture. to make others forget the scary concept of the war still going on. but, why dogs aren't accepted in the war, I'll never know.

Carface - Dut, Dut, Dut. Charlie. (Turns off the radio, then pulls the radio's plug) If I could speak, I'm not getting many customers. I mean, You did time in the clink. That could put a dent in Our business.

Charlie - In other words?

Carface - In other words, any dog with a criminal record, is guaranteed failure on any business.

Charlie - Whoa, I was framed.

Carface - Understandable. So, I figured, We could disband the casino.

Whippet - Huh?

Charlie - Disband?! After all We did?

Carface - Yeah. and One of the customers told one of the workers, that You and that Dock-Shunned buddy of Yours helped over 70 canines escape from the Pound. and can You imagine if Those accursed humans found this casino? Look, Why don't We talk outside? (To Whippet) And You, take the rest of the night off. Enjoy Yourself. It's Mardi Gras, Don'cha know?

Whippet - Ugh... (Walks off) I have a name, You know.

(Inside another part of the casino, Itchy walking around, then He sees two Dogs' shadows.)

Dog 1 - What? Why should I feed Carface's monster? I did that already 2 hours ago.

Itchy - (Quietly) Monster?

Dog 2 - Just go already. and no arguments. (Killer's shadow is seen)

Killer - Okay, Okay, Knock off the fighting. Carface just ordered Charlie's death. so get the garbage can ready, and You get the blowtorch. Now, come on. (The shadows walk away as Itchy begins to scratch.)

Itchy - Oh, No... (Scratches Himself and runs to save Charlie.) Charlie!

(Outside the casino, Carface and Charlie are outside.)

Carface - Now, just between friends, At sunrise, You'll go somewhere, remote. like... Wyoming. or maybe the Catskill Mountains. along with 50% of the Casino's winnings. What do You say? You don't want to land in Jail again, right?

Charlie - I was going to suggest 30%, but, if You insist... (Killer quietly gives Carface what He thought was hemlock berries are really Blackberries.)

Carface - And for good measure, I want to offer You this. (Gives Charlie a Silver pocketwatch with a red ribbon.) It’s kind of a shame You won’t use it much. (Stuffs blackberries down Charlie’s throat.) and with that—Huh? (Charlie hiccups.)

Charlie - Oh! Blackberries? They-- They taste good!

Carface - Huh? Killer, What's wrong with you? (reacts.) Du-- of all the... Now! (Charlie is stuffed in a garbage can.)

Charlie - Wha-- What's going on? (One dog welds the garbage lid closed with a blowtorch.)

Carface - Farewell, Charlie. I was hoping to give You death by Hemlock Berries, but drowning to death is more of a scary concept. (The dogs toss the garbage can in the swampy waters as Itchy pushes through two dogs.)

Itchy - Charlie! Where is He?

Carface - Gone. Far gone. And just so He won't be lonely... (Snaps His digits to deal with Itchy, but Itchy makes a run for it, smashing through the henchdogs, heading to the city as the other dogs pursue Him.) Never Mind Him, boys.

Killer - What? But, He's--

Carface - The second We see Him, We'll deal with Him accordingly. No one in the city will Help Him anyway. (the Scene changes to Pirates' Alley, Where Itchy watches in sorrow at the Mardi Gras Celebration.)

Itchy - Charlie... (Watches the floats, but in Itchy’s point of view, They slowly become that of Charlie’s likeness, as He began to cry.) Ohh... Charrrrliiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee...! (Howls as the screen Zooms out until the screen turns black.)

Chapter 4 - 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 pink female Whippet who comes out.) Hello, Charlie. I am Annabelle. One of the archangels of heaven.

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

Annabelle - (Softly laughs.) Silly Charlie. They’re not marshmallows. they’re clouds. (Charlie makes a double take at Annabelle's appearance 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 anything there. (Singing as Her color changes to bright yellow) Welcome to doing whatever You wish... (plays with a spherical diamond)

Charlie - Well, almost whatever You wish, right? (Looks at the floating diamonds) Wow.

Annabelle - (Singing) ...Eating whatever You please...

Charlie - Well, I must admit, You must be rich.

Annabelle - Well, That’s not exactly true. (Her color changes to blue) I chased Cats, Rabbits, anything that was smaller than Me. I mean, My Father was a Greyhound and My Mom was a terrier.

Charlie - Huh? When You were Alive?

Annabelle - Well... (sheds tears)

Charlie - Oh... I’m sorry. Do you miss your family? I can’t believe I’m talking to a ghost.

Annabelle - Yes. (Her color changes to pink) But, they’re over here. (Annabelle’s Parents, a Female Terrier and a Male Greyhound and her 4 siblings wave as Annabelle waves back.) Well, mostly here. 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. (Her color changes to light green)

Charlie - Wow.

Annabelle - Correct word, wrong tone. (The two walk through a hall of clouds, where they encounter an Shiba Inu.) This one was once used in a human war. (Quietly) But, there were rumors are His Breed might go extinct within the century.

Charlie - Really?

Annabelle - Really. (They walk past an American Foxhound) This one was a hunting dog whose ancestors served a family for around three centuries. But, now... (Grabs a blank book and passes it to Charlie, which turns Violet) Ooh. It's violet. (Her color changes to 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. "Charles Barkin, Son of Burt Barkin and Loni Bowzer, born in September 13, 1937, Deceased in February 21, 1939. And on Mardi Gras.

Charlie - Well, You could say that.

Annabelle - “Lived in New Orleans, never got married, chased five cats, killed no cats, done in by suffocation in trash can and drowning"? How unusual. (Her color changes to light blue) You know, most dogs die from old age, and some died from eating chocolate, onions, raisins, garlic-- to name a few. and rising now, is... the Syringe. or lethal injection.

Charlie - Yeah. You can blame the Animal Shelters for that. But, More importantly, What's deceased mean? Like, I'm sick of some kind?

Annabelle - Well, no. It means You Crossed the Great Divide. (Long pause) You went to Your reward. (Long pause) Sleeping the big sleep? (Long pause, then Sighs.) You're dead. (Her color changes to white)

Charlie - WHAT?! DEAD?! As an "I'm .....I am....

Annabelle - Stone Cold, I'm afraid. (Charlie checks His neck for a pulse.) Ha ha ha. You don't have a physical form, anymore, Charlie. (Places His paw on Annabelle’s forehead) Thanks for Your concern, But, Illnesses And sicknesses don’t exist in Heaven.

Charlie - I can't believe it! That two-faced rat DID murder me! (becomes depressed) And I never had a chance to say goodbye to Itchy and all of my friends...

Annabelle - (Singing) Welcome to doing whatever You want... (Her color changes to pink.)

Charlie - You said that already...

Annabelle - (Singing) Laughing And Singing all day...

Charlie - All day? And what do You do all night? (Grasps His silver watch.) And all I have to remember that... I won’t say it. (Annabelle Plucks a hair from Charlie’s Head.) OUCH!

Annabelle - Sorry. This happens when a puppy becomes born, (drops the hair in a cloud, which turns into a newborn puppy soul, and goes to planet earth.) this happens. (Vanishes into Her blue sphere as Charlie floats up.)

Charlie - Ohh... That Carface. The moment I see Him-- Huh? (Stops at an area with Clocks of all sizes and shapes.) Clocks? (Annabelle reappears)

Annabelle - Yes. These clocks represent the lifespan of different dogs. If They tick, They're still living. If They don't, well, in Your case... (Points at a pocket watch going downward.) Charlie, as You can see, this is your life clock And it stopped at 10:26, meaning You died at that time.

Charlie - Stopped? Then... It's broken?

Annabelle - Broken? oh, no, no, no, no. It’s not broken. But a word of caution. Any canine who winds up his or her life clock can go back to Earth. (The watch’s floats off) But, can never return to Heaven. and I would never wish that on My worst enemy. Charlie? (Sees Charlie scratching His head.)

Charlie - Never return...? As in I’ll be immortal?

Annabelle - (Screechy as She turns red) Immortal? (Calmly as She returns to Her pink color) Charlie, There’s no such thing as Immortality in the world of the living. (Looks away as Charlie manages to grab some floating clocks including his own, but tosses some away, while Annabelle was distracted.) All we know is, that in the future, Our next generations will encounter colorful televisions, games you can play on a television, and in almost 6 years, a young kitten will try to escape punishment by traveling 60 miles to Salt Lake City, but will return home a kinder cat, also, computers will be big within half a century. (Charlie hides His life clock in a cloud after winding it up.) Who knows? Someone might make a motion picture about Us dogs going to heaven, but The chances are astronomical. huh? (Notices Charlie looking up) What are you staring at?

Charlie - Huh? Oh, well, why are some of the life clocks hourglasses, and modern clocks?

Annabelle - Well, most Dogs’ lives vary. Avaricious or dogs who hunger for the rich life have a pocket watch. Some of the artistic, would have these. (Points at a Curio clock)

Charlie - A grandfather clock?

Annabelle - No, it’s called a Curio clock. Grandfather clocks are for those that don’t believe in technology. The Amish, for one.

Charlie - They don't believe in the future, huh? (Shouting at a schnauzer wearing a straw hat) get with the times! This is the 20th Century!

Annabelle - Anyway... (pulls Charlie to a place where a sign says “Shooting Stars”)

Charlie - Shooting Stars?

Annabelle - Yes. And the best view of the night sky on Planet Earth would be in Death Valley.

Charlie - Death Valley...? You know, I’ve been thinking. What do You do in heaven?

Annabelle - Well, like I said, You can do just about anything. try standing like a human.

Charlie - Lady, I've tried plenty when I was alive, (Gets up on His hind legs) and I don’t think— Wha? I can stand.

Annabelle - Yes. It's kind of a shame that I couldn't, when I was alive..

Charlie - Hmm. Maybe You're right. (Floats to the Moon) Wow! I'm this close to the moon!

Annabelle - (Her color changes to yellow) Yes, and a Russian Dog named Laika will be the first to go into orbit in 18 years. But, the Fruit Flies will be the first animals to be sent to outer space. And in less than 35 years, There will be the first Sled Dog Race around Alaska. (Her color changes to light blue)

Charlie - What's Alaska?

Annabelle - Oh. A Cold place where it will become a state in the 1950s. It's west of Canada.

Charlie - Well, I’m sure Your husband‘s proud of your seeing the future.

Annabelle - Charlie, I never had a husband when I was alive.

Charlie - Oh. I didn’t Realize. But... Care for a Dance? (dances with Annabelle in a tango as She changes colors.) I'll admit, In Heaven, We can see the Stars, Day or Night. the pristine environment, no Sicknesses, Diamonds everywhere, And I had no idea Heaven had so many colors. back on Earth, We can only see Brown, Yellow, and some shades of blue.

Annabelle - That's how Heaven should be. We know the Past, Present, and Future of every dog who comes. Heaven has so many stories, We'd need another universe to place them.

Charlie - Ha ha ha. Good One. I had no idea You dance so Elegantly. and with Natural rhythm, too. (Strokes Annabelle's neck) unusual, for a Whippet such as Yourself.

Annabelle - Ah... (Her color changes to pink) How soothing.

Charlie - So, What will become of... Carface Carruthers?

Annabelle - Well, I don't know. (Her color changes to lavender.) He hasn't died, yet. Now, watch this. (A blue sphere envelops Annabelle and Charlie turning them into a Siamese Cat and Maine Coon cat respectively as they still dance.) That’s something You can’t do back in the world of the living.

Charlie - Annabelle, This is great! Can We turn into other animals?

Annabelle - Of course We can turn into other animals. Be still. (An Afghan Hound angel paints a painting of Cat Charlie and Cat Annabelle in one brush.) Ok. We can move again.

Charlie - That's great. but... where are the Cat angels?

Annabelle - Sadly, Cats aren’t as good as dogs. They rely too much on humans, they think they’re more superior, and they can see better in the dark. So, they get sent, not to Heaven, but... I won't say it. (They return back as Dogs as they return to the cloud where Charlie hid the watch, fishes it out and hides it in His tail which coils up to conceal it.) Of course, a few of them are real advocates to let Cats in Heaven.

Charlie - Really? I wouldn't mind chasing one in the afterlife

Annabelle - Well, Charlie, You never married or have puppies of your own. You had a chance to have a family of your own, but now... (Charlie looks down.)

Charlie - Wait. Have you wanted to have puppies when You were alive?

Annabelle - Well, I never got the chance, but Yes. (Her color turns blue) I was young. Everything was going well. (Screechy as She turns red.) Until a stupid snake bit My paw! (Calmly as She returns to Her blue color) Sorry again.

Charlie - I see what You mean. But... (Singing) I need Brazil, You need the Thrill. (Does a backflip.) There’s still some time, But, not to make a Will. Excitement and Danger, and love with a Stranger. (Annabelle does a back flip and lands in Charlie's Arms and She turns pink.) Let Me be surprised. (Lets Her down gently.) Sorry.

Annabelle - Well, there’s no surprises in heaven. We know everything. (Charlie and Annabelle grab pieces of a colorful cloud, causing them to change colors)

Charlie - A-And who’s We? Never Mind. (Singing) Today to have sun. No rain, no snow. to have this much fun, I can’t say no. To have My heart beating, I’m glad for this meeting, just let Me be surprised. (The two merge their color clouds into their concepts of their puppies.) Ohh, Ain’t it great? (They float up to the night sky.)

Annabelle - (Singing) Ain’t it great... (nuzzles Charlie’s face as Charlie embraces Annabelle’s neck as they watch the constellations of Canis Major, Canis Minor, Sirius, Canes Venatici, and Lupus.)

Charlie - (Singing) When fate... makes you wait.

Annabelle - (Singing) La la la, la-la, la la...

Charlie - (Singing) This world is not Mirthless, and You’re hardly Nervous. (Turns a piece of cloud into a feather, tickling Annabelle’s stomach) Don’cha Wish We had more lives, like Eight? (Floats upward to the night sky)

Annabelle - Ha. Cats don't have Nine Lives. (Singing as She follows Charlie) But, Charlie, just remember, Down there, Your world You desire, You will get tired. Just the towns are gray and uninspired...

Charlie - (Singing) No need to be uppity, for Us two puppies, ha ha. so much to be done, Our fun has just begun. But, I am glad that We have met. But, Let Me say that You can bet. ha ha.

Annabelle - Ahhhh...(Places His silver watch around Annabelle’s neck.) Huh? Thank You, Charlie. But, a watch from Earth won't bring Me to life. as My life clock is long gone.

Charlie - (Singing) Life has plenty of lows and highs, believe Me, You will be surprised. There could still be some time for Us, Our Next generation, if We must.

Annabelle - Next Generation? It’s not possible for any dog in heaven to have puppies, unless...

Charlie - (Singing) You’ll soon get your chance, just you open Your eyes. (Charlie juggles His life watch and it lands on His left paw) Just wait’ll you see... (Wraps His arms around Annabelle, as She does the same.) You will Be surprised...! (Annabelle notices Charlie activating His life watch.)

Annabelle- Oh, No! Charlie, Wait! (Screechy) If You wind up Your life watch-- (Annabelle attempts to break free, but with an explosion of light, they both warp back to the world of the living.) We won't return...!

Chapter 5 - Charlie returns
(Outside the casino, a cat is quietly searching for food, when a splash is heard. Then, He sees a garbage can rise from the water then Charlie breaks out of it, spooking the cat, making Him screech, and goes to run away but crashes into a trash can, knocking Him out. Annabelle, in a beige color, rises from the water as well.)

Charlie - Wow! We're back. I can get back at Carface, and You can find a potential boyfriend to be Your future husband. Now, what are you looking for in a husband--?

Annabelle - Oh, don't You dare talk to Me. Even though I'm alive again-- (Checks Her wrist) But, no pulse. and I'm still cold. (Screechy) You pulled Me out of heaven, just so You--

Charlie - Ok, maybe the tone needs to get fix-- (Annabelle winces.) Uh... needs some work. And what happened to Your pink color?

Annabelle - My fur wasn't originally pink-- Wait, That's not the point! It's your own--

Charlie - Shh! Shh! You'll wake Carface and His goons!

Annabelle - Hmm. Good point. We'll never return to heaven anyway if We die again.

Cat - Die Again? Are You ghosts?

Annabelle - Ohh... No...

Charlie - Nice to Meet You, Mr. Cat. I'm Charlie Barkin.

Cat - Uh... Hello. I'm Tabasco. I... hope Your girlfriend won't have any ideas to...

Annabelle - Girlfriend?!

Charlie - Um, Annabelle. Do You think We should turn into cats, just so He can calm down?

Annabelle - (Whispering) Charlie, turning into other animals, floating above the clouds, and being this close to the moon, only works in Heaven. not anywhere else.

Charlie - Hmm. Good point. Do You want to stay somewhere, Tabasco? I have a place.

Tabasco - I could, But, I've been trying to think of a plan to rescue Praline from that casino for over a week, and I can’t rest.

Charlie: "From the Casino"?

Tabasco - Yes. Some fat dog captured Her just as She was about ready to have kittens.

Charlie - Carface. I thought as much. Have You tried getting in?

Tabasco - Yes. I saw Her in a cage, but, I managed to see Her kittens born. After that, She told Me to run away.

Annabelle - Charlie, I had no idea Your murderer-- (Notices Tabasco.)

Tabasco - Murderer?

Annabelle - We'll continue the conversation later. (picks up the silver pocketwatch over her heart amulet.)

Charlie - We will. But, We'd better take our leave before Carface notices Me. (The three head for the junkyard.)

(The scene changes to Don's Auto Wreckers, where Itchy lives. Inside a small steel building, Itchy is shaking in His sleep.)

Itchy - Charlie... where did You go? (A Shadow is coming towards Him and grey muscular arms grabbed Itchy's neck, and the shadow turned out to be Carface as He continues strangling Itchy.)

Charlie's voice - Itchy, it’s alright. It’s Me!

Itchy - Me, Who? (Itchy wakes and sees Carface's image fade into Charlie.) Charlie, is that You?

Charlie - The one and the same.

Itchy - Wow. That’s a load off my heart— AAAA! Ghosts!.

Charlie: Itchy, calm down! I am not--

Itchy: (running around like crazy) GHOSTS!!!!! Get back! All of you! Don't you dare touch me!!! (Starts to fling things at them.) I’m warning you!

Charlie - Itch, If I am a ghost, you think I’d be able to phase through walls?

Itchy: Maybe...

Charlie: And you see through me?

Itchy: Uh....no?

Charlie: No? (plucks a flea off him and puts it on Itchy's nose to show him) And do ghosts have fleas?

Itchy - Well, not really. Charlie... It IS You! Ha ha ha ha! Uh... Friends of Yours?

Charlie: Oh! Sorry. Itchy, these are our new friends, Annabelle and Tabasco.

Itchy - Our new friends?

Charlie - Yeah. Carface tried to trap Me in a trash can and drown Me in the marsh— (Sees Annabelle shake Her head.) Ok. Annabelle will explain. (Annabelle shakes Her Head again.) No?

Annabelle: Charlie, If I could speak with You, in private...

Charlie: Ok. Sorry, We interrupted your sleep, Itchy. (Annabelle and Charlie exits the shed.) Oh. (To Itchy) You don’t mind Tabasco resting up inside, do You?

Itchy - I-- Sure. He's free to stay.

Tabasco - Thank You. of course, I'd sleep better if Praline was with Me... (Tabasco sleeps on the floor.)

(Outside...)

Annabelle - Charlie, There’s reasons why activating a watch of life would have consequences. For not just the user, but also for the world of the living.

Charlie - Consequences?

Annabelle - Yes. But as long as You don’t mention anything about your trip to heaven or mention about the future, there won’t be chaos.

Charlie - Oh... so, You mean to say that the watch doesn’t really give the user eternal life.

Annabelle - Correct. Also, if the watch of life stops again, that means You’ll go down there. (Points down)

Charlie - Hmm. Living like a gopher or a Mole. Not a good lifestyle.

Annabelle - What? No! No. I mean really down there. Sort of like a cavernous volcano with no exits, endless anguish, crimson-colored fiends!

Charlie - You mean...? (Annabelle nods.) You... You could have told Me that before.

Annabelle - I never got a chance to explain all of it. And worse, If I die again... Well, I don't want to think about it. But, You’ll be held responsible.

Charlie - Well, in any case, I'm going to get back at Carface. Believe Me. He'll never get enough cash, and he’ll never stop. And I’ll make him pay. And... he's got something up his sleeves, and when we find out what it is; We'll ruin him, make him suffer slow....and he will wish that He didn’t kill me!

Annabelle - Sigh. How Wrathful. I'm surprised Your book didn't have the color of orange.

Charlie - In just a few days, Carface's casino will go belly up, like when He stuffed Me in the trash can to die.

Tabasco - Charlie? Sorry To disrupt Your conversation, but will You help find Praline, first thing in the morning?

Charlie/Annabelle - Who?

Tabasco: Who? My wife. a beautiful brown feline, with the sweetest voice.

Charlie: Tomorrow, We'll save her, Tabasco. I promise.

Annabelle - Charles, Never make promises if you won’t keep them. (To Tabasco) and how long were you listening to Our conversation?

Tabasco - a few seconds. I can’t sleep with Itchy talking about that monster.

Charlie - What monster?

Tabasco - He said that a monster in living in the basement, just as he's got muscular thugs with teeth like daggers.

Charlie: Wait a minute, I'm sorry, what?

Tabasco - I... think Your friend can explain it better than Me.

Charlie: Really? (smirks) Hmmm...interesting...

Chapter 6 - Inside the Vents...
(A scene cuts to Charlie, Tabasco, Annabelle, and a scared Itchy heading for Carface's casino.)

Itchy - So, did You have any owners?

Tabasco - No. I’ve been surviving the streets for three months after escaping from... There.

Itchy - By “There”, You mean the animal shelter?

Tabasco - No. Much worse.

Annabelle - Really? (Places Her paw on Tabasco’s head, and the both of them glow in shades of yellow and blue.) Oh, My. How cruel. How did You escape?

Tabasco - Well, I played dead, so I can leave without anyone going after Me. I traveled plenty just to stay away from those monsters. Then, I met Praline. days Later, I married Her.

Annabelle - Aw...

Charlie - Ok, Tabasco, We don’t want a life story. (Tabasco mockingly But quietly mimics Charlie)

Annabelle - (To Itchy, Quietly) I guess your friend is quite wrathful after what that Carface character did. But there’s a saying like... “the wicked shall receive their just reward”.

Itchy: Yeah, and I have a feeling that we are all going to die.

Annabelle - Hopefully, We won’t.

(Charlie finally opens the air vent door.)

Charlie: There now....(to Annabelle) Ladies first. And... don’t go head first.

Annabelle: (smiles) Well, at least You have some polite manners.

Tabasco - Well, I can only hope I can trust What’s-Her-Name enough—

Annabelle - Are You coming in or not? (Pokes Her head out.) and it’s Annabelle.

Charlie: Ok, Itchy. Your turn.

Itchy: Uh huh, no way! This is a bad idea, Charlie, and I'm staying right here!

Tabasco: (smirks) Here....(untracts the claws) Lemme help you then.

(Tabasco pokes his claw in Itchy’s neck.)

Itchy - AAA! Vampires! (Runs Inside the vent.)

Charlie: (smiles) Thanks, Tabasco.

Tabasco: Anything to save Praline. (Tabasco and Charlie traverse inside the vent.)

Charlie: OK, guys, the first thing we need to do to make Carface pay is to find the race cats and free them, including Praline if we're lucky, so we can find proper homes for them.

Annabelle - (Quietly) Luck only applies with dice games, casino games and a few other things. And why would you bring Tabasco, even though he has a twisted ankle?

Charlie: So we can find what his girlfriend--

Tabasco - Wife.

Charlie - Sigh. So We can foind what His wife looks like, and see if any one looked familiar to him. (to himself) Now lemme see, if I was a short fat suit-cladded murderer, where would I hide the cats and this....'monster'? (He notices Itchy becoming nervous and started scratching, annoying Charlie very much.)

Tabasco - what’s with Him?

Charlie: Oh, he's always like that when he's nervous. (to Itchy) Will you stop that?! I'm sick of your itching, ok?

Itchy: Oh! (sees the vent door and peeks through it.) Guys...I found the cats. (One Cat Sees Itchy.)

Cat - A Dog! (The cats yowl for help. The dogs wave their arms trying to get the cats to stop yowling.)

Tabasco - (Quietly) Not too loud! You’ll blow our cover!

Annabelle - SHH! Quiet!

Second cat - Can you speak up? We can’t hear you.

Charlie: We're here to bust you guys out of here.

Third Cat - Help! Dogs!

Annabelle - (Shouting in a screechy tone) Shut up, Already! (The cats stop yowling) finally. They stopped.

Charlie - ...And You blew our cover.

Girl Cat - Tabasco? Tabasco's here! And with some canine help.

Tabasco - That voice. Praline, is that you? (The screen goes to Cage 18, containing a light brown cat with five brownish-gray Kittens.)

Praline: Tabasco!

Tabasco - Ohh... I'm glad You and the kids are safe. (tries to Unlock Praline's cage lock with His claw, but fails)

Praline - Tabasco, Try the keys.

Dog Guard (From outside the room) - They're at it again? (Goes to the Cats' Room)

Charlie - Hide fast, Tabasco! (Tabasco hides behind a furnace to avoid being detected by the guard.)

Tabasco - OK. (To Charlie and the others) You three go on ahead. I'll free the others as soon as the guard leaves.

Itchy - Good Luck, Tabasco. (The dogs leave as Tabasco hides behind a furnace, when the Dog guard comes in.)

Dog Guard - Alright, What's with all the noise? (Hears mewing) Either someone is going through a second kittenhood, or some kittens are hiding from Me.

Chapter 7 - The Girl that speaks to Animals
(Charlie, Itchy and Annabelle continue down the vent until Itchy saw something coming and trembles.

Itchy:  Guys! t-t-t-there it is....the monster.... (Charlie and Annabelle sees the figure.) Ok... now let's go home! Who knows what it eats?! (tries to run away and the annoyed Charlie grabbed Him, making him freaked out.) AAAAA!!!! WEREWOLVES!!!!! THEY'VE GOT ME!!! THEY'VE GOT ME!!!!!

Charlie - What part of "Keep Quiet" did You not understand?

Annabelle: Charles, Calm down

Itchy: (flails around) WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL SOMEBODY IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO THAT?!

Charlie: You know, it's NOT worth it being with you. It is not.

Itchy: Your paws are cold too!

Annabelle: Just get over there and look.

Charlie: (points) And there...is your 'monster. So, He looks like a sea monster.

Annabelle - Huh? (Sees a human hand from the costume.) I think SHE's harmless. Look. (A girl is seen removing a large hat, then feeding a small piece of meat to a cat.)

Charlie: And you thought she was a monster, huh, Itch? (hears something) Uh-oh, duck! (They ducked down just as Carface and Killer entered.)

Anne Marie: Mr. Carface, may I please go outside today?

Carface: Why of course you can, little girl....but first you talk to the cat (blows the cigar smoke on the cat, making it hiss)

Killer: Boss,  if you want my opinion, I say number 6 is going to win the race. (gags as one of the smoke was drifted to his face) Gah...ooh, Boss has cigar! (coughs)

Anne Marie: (to the cat, petting it) Hi, Mr. Fluffy. How are you today? (Embraces the cat's forehead.) Oh, thank You for asking. Will You or Number Six win tonight's final race? (The Cat meows quietly) What? You're too sleepy? Number Six is cold...? #62 has a flu?

Killer - (Sighs) I guess Number Six won't win...

Anne-Marie - #78 has a broken bone?

Carface - Hmm. That's something.

Anne-Marie - #18 is too sleepy?

Killer - Boss, speaking of #18...

Carface - Shut up, Killer.

Killer - Seriously, Racer 18 has been hiding her kittens from the guards.

Carface:  (impatiently) Hurry it up. Hurry it up.

Anne Marie: Sorry....so who do you think will win? (The cat meows, much to Charlie, Annabelle and Itchy's amazement.) Oh, I see. It's Number 10

Carface - Number 10... Killer, shift the odds on Number 10. and Search 18’s cage. Any kittens found, drop them in the marsh, where Charlie is, so He won't be alone.

Killer - Boss, Are you sure? (He is hit with cigar smoke, making Killer sick.) Ugh... A simple "Yes" would have been fine... (Turns green, as He and Carface go up.)

Anne Marie - Mr. Carface, Didn't You say-- (The door closes, as Killer is heard vomiting. She then sighs.)

Charlie: (amazed) A little girl that can talk to animals.... (His eyes turn into dollar signs.) so that's how Carface keeps winning all his money. But, once I acquire Her, His business will go belly-up, slowly but surely.

Itchy - Charlie, You got that "Drooling with Greed" look again.

Annabelle - Ohh... If I had known how cruel Your former friend was, Me and My brother would really give Him the punishment He deserves. reimbursing all the dogs He bilked.

(Back at the Cage Room, The Dog Guard leaves the room, as Tabasco leaves His hiding place. one after the next, Tabasco frees each cat. The first freed cats push a few empty cages to the door)

Praline - A smart move, Tab. To keep the dogs from getting to us while We make our escape. (Kisses Tabasco making Him blush.) That's for freeing Me first.

Tabasco - Uh... Praline, Once We exit-- Huh?

Praline:  (smiles as Tabasco counts five kittens) I figured you might want to carry our kittens to a safe place. but, they'll open their eyes in a few hours. And I don't want their first sight to be a dilapidated ship without Their parents. (Sees Tabasco crying tears of joy)

Cat - Praline, Tabasco, Let's go. the Door's more than barricaded enough.

Tabasco - Ok. We’re coming. (One by one, Praline and Tabasco carry the kittens the the pipeline) Praline, I know a place where we can rest.

Praline - Is it cold or dusty?

Tabasco - No, but a Harmless dog lives there. But, I’ll make sure You and our little brood is safe. (Praline softly smiles)

(Meanwhile, in Anne Marie's Room, Charlie, Itchy, and Annabelle crept out of their hiding place.)

Itchy: Are you sure that this is going to work? I mean kidnapping her.

Charlie: Kidnap is such a strong word. Now you let me and Annabelle do the talking. (to Anne Marie) Uh, little girl. (Anne Marie gasps with fright and hides) No, it’s okay, it’s okay. At least let Me introduce myself, If You’ll let Me. I’m Charles Barkin. I’m mostly called Charlie. This is Itchiford or Itchy.

Itchy: How'd you do?

Charlie: And this is our new friend Annabelle

Annabelle - Hello.

Anne Marie - But, why are you here?

Charlie: Cause it seems to me...that this place is more like a prison then a home to you, am I right?

Anne Marie: Well, kinda.

Charlie: Well then, we are here to rescue you and the cats from here. So where are your parents? I'll bring You there, so Carface won't abuse You again.

Anne Marie: (sadly) I'm an orphan.

Annabelle - An Orphan?

Anne Marie - I only wish #18 would be safe, but the way things will go, She'll starve and Her kittens to be drowned...

Itchy - (Notices the Cats exiting.) She won't have to starve and neither will 99 others. (Anne Marie looks at the cats exiting)

Anne Marie - Wow! Then, that means...

Charlie: Yes. so, uh...what's your name?

Itchy - Wait, Wait, Charlie. The Junkyard isn't somewhere for a little girl to be in. not even a hundred cats, let alone one. And besides--

Charlie - Itchy, I do the thinking. Not You. (Packs Anne Marie's belongings in a black bag.)

Anne-Marie - My Name's Anne Marie. You asked My name, right?

Charlie: Oh right, Anne Marie, that's a nice name. So, uh, you don't mind, staying with us at the junkyard, do you?

Anne Marie: Of course not. I don't mind at all

Charlie - Well, Where You and the cats are going, It's less marshy, One building, and plenty of cars as makeshift bedrooms.

Itchy - Ohh... Why do I feel like It's not going to end well...?

Carface's Voice - Killer!! What's taking so long?!

Charlie - Let's go. (They exit through the vents)

Annabelle - (Thinking) If only He knew...

(Inside Carface's Room, He is just informed that the door leading to the Cats' Cage room is blocked.)

Carface: Then get a blowtorch to get in!

Killer - Boss, That's not the best idea.

Carface - Morons! I'M SURROUNDED BY MORONS!!!!!! Listen. As long as customers come to the casino, I can soak them for all the food and money they have. (He hears the dog guards break in the room.) Finally. (Carface goes in and sees all the cages empty.) Ugh! get everyone to find 100 new cats!

Killer - Boss, I also have worse news. The girl’s gone.

Carface: WHAAAAT?!?!?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE IS GONE?!?!?!?!

Killer - I don't know! one of the guards heard some voices. There were two male voices and a female one. (Tosses a pile of garbage at Killer) Thunder was on duty. Talk to Him.

Carface: (angrily) I love that girl......I want her back......Nooooooooow.

Killer: Uh, Right now, Boss--?

Carface: Well, No. I want You to search at daybreak-- I mean, YES, RIGHT NOW! (Killer panics and falls over a few times, then exits the room. the screen irises out.)

Chapter 8 - Homes for the Race Cats
(The Scene changes to Jackson Square with a big horde of cats.)

Charlie - I don’t understand why one racecat didn’t want to come along.

Anne Marie - Well, Racer 18, or Praline needed some rest and food. I suggest letting Her be alone.

Charlie: Oh, Praline's her name. Of course.

Itchy - you said it. I mean, Jackson Square is where most cats go at night.

Charlie - Yeah. Wait, Carface will just be back at it with His cat races by recapturing 100 cats. They’ll need a place... where Carface can’t get them.

Annabelle - So, where do You suggest Bringing them to?

Charlie - Hmm... The French Quarter! Lots of cats live here. You could live there. Sure, some of You might not be able to stay, but it's better than being back in Carface's cages, right?

Cats - Right! (They go to the French Quarter and Its buildings.)

Charlie - Safe Journey! And if some of You want to, You can warn other cats about what Carface is capable of!

Itchy - Good Luck, Kitties! Live life in Your own way! Avoid Carface at any and all costs! Well, Everything's worked out, Charlie.

Charlie - Well, not Everything. Tabasco and one race cat doesn't have a home as of yet.

Itchy - Charlie, Don't tell Me, You're going to toss those love-cats out on the street.

Charlie - I didn't say that. Sigh. Fine, They can stay for a few days. But, the junkyard isn't a hotel.

Chapter 9 - Resting at the junkyard
(The Scene changes to the night view of New Orleans, and We zoom in to Don's Auto Wreckers.)

Charlie - I don't understand why I have to sleep in one of those cars. (We zoom in to see Charlie, Itchy, Annabelle, and Anne Marie in a wrecked Bentley Car.)

Itchy - Well, Tabasco and Praline need the Shed to have some warmth for their young. that way Their kittens will not freeze to death. besides, I don't think Tabasco would want to miss the moment His kids’ eyes open. Didn't You want to have puppies of Your own?

Charlie - I-- Sigh. I had a girlfriend.

Anne Marie - You did?

Charlie - Yeah. A few months after I was born, I encountered a Collie puppy. I was hoping I'd marry Her in the future. But, She said to Me, "Sorry, but, There's no way I would marry a mangy canine such as Yourself." That's what She said. (Annabelle Places Her paw on Charlie's head.)

Annabelle - Oh, My... She's the reason You left home...?

Charlie - Some things are best left unsaid. Besides, We got a big day tomorrow. (He and Itchy exit the car as Annabelle goes to another car.) Good night.

Itchy - Boss, This is insane.

Anne Marie - Good Night, Mr. Itchy!

Itchy - Oh. Good night. (Quietly) Boss, The junkyard isn't somewhere a girl should stay. She should be at an orphanage, or at least the church. (Annabelle goes inside a car and listens in on the conversation.)

Charlie - I'm not gonna stick Her at an orphanage. No way. a lot of orphanages are low-budget, and from what I've heard, the orphans are used as child labor. worse, the second people realize that the girl can talk to animals, They'll exploit Her, like a sideshow at a circus. and that's not the life a little girl wants.

Itchy - What?

Charlie - besides, It's not enough that I shut down Carface's Cat races. but, Tomorrow, We'll get some loose change, trade it for a fortune at the horse races.

Anne Marie - Horsies?

Charlie - Ohh... You're still awake? (To Itchy) Good night, Itchy. but We get up at first light.

Itchy - OK. (Charlie goes to rest alongside Annabelle, who nuzzles his neck.)

Annabelle - (Thinking) Charlie, You have a good heart, despite your avarice. But, something tells Me, something bad will happen.

(Itchy Goes to the Building and sees Praline asleep.)

Itchy - Hmm. If Charlie only knew... (Walks off and looks at the moon) I kind of wonder, how did Charlie survive? (He sees Tabasco.) Huh? Tabasco?

Tabasco - Yeah. You come along with Me. Charlie can see, too.

Itchy - Wha? You trust Me?

Tabasco - Of course, I trust You. I mean, it is your home, too. (Itchy goes to get Charlie, and returns outside the shack. Itchy and Tabasco enter as Tabasco closes the door.)

Itchy - What about Charlie?

Tabasco - I trust Him, too. But... Praline doesn’t. (Without being seen, Charlie looks from the window.) Here it comes. (one by one, the kittens open their eyes, and they see Tabasco and Praline)

Praline - Tabasco, We’ll be a family from now On. But, We’ll need a home, somewhere where no dog can eat them. Namely that Charlie character.

Tabasco - Charlie will find a way, Praline. Just trust Him. (Charlie beams and goes back to where Annabelle is asleep.)

Chapter 10 - Day at the Races
(The Scene changes to the Stables, and inside, Charlie along with Itchy, Annabelle and Anne Marie are with the horses.)

Annabelle - Charlie, when anyone finds any money, they're supposed to bring it to the police, not keep it.

Charlie - Hey, Waste not, Want not.

Annabelle - But stealing from the park fountains is like stealing fountain upkeep or even charity.

Charlie - Annabelle, Steal is such a strong word. Besides, We'll get more. (To Anne Marie) Don't worry. Ask any of the horses. They'll know.

Itchy - Really? I'm sure They know much more than who will win.

Charlie - Itch, do You mind?

Itchy - Mind what? She can understand the language of Cats and Dogs, but horses, I'm sure it's difficult for even Her to translate. Besides, I'm sure that the fastest horse or the horse with the lightest jockey would win. (One Horse Neighs startling Itchy.) Whoa!

Charlie - Did You understand it, Anne Marie?

Itchy - Wha-- What was that for?

Charlie - What did the horse say?

Anne Marie - She said, "It's not how fast the horse is or which has the lightest Jockey. This race is for horses with a special occasion."

Charlie - Special Occasion? as in a wedding?

Anne Marie - No, A Birthday. (To the horse) Who's the birthday horse? (One of the horses neigh.) What? (The horse neighs.) Oh! I see. (Looks at a scrawny horse.) She said that the Small one, The Grand Chawhee will win. Today's His birthday.

Charlie/Itchy - Who?

Anne Marie - Him. (Points at the scrawny horse.) Of course, It'll be a surprise for Him to win.

Itchy - What? The odds are 100 to one.

Charlie - Yeah. It's too long a shot for Him to win-- (The Horse Neighs.) Well, I can take a hint. (They leave the stables.) Now, What's say We find some more loose change before the race?

Itchy - Boss, Getting loose change is easy, but betting it will be tough. I mean, They don't allow Kids to bet.

Charlie - Don't worry. I have a plan for that, too.

(The scene changes to a park, where Charlie puts on a trench coat, a beard made of yarn, sunglasses, and sits on a wheelchair.)

Anne Marie - Hmm. Not exactly a good disguise.

Charlie - Well, We need to bet this much money. and until We get the jackpot, You'll call Me old man Barkin.

Annabelle - Something bad will happen. I know it. (Anne Marie pushes the wheelchair Charlie's on. as Itchy and Annabelle follow the two.)

Man - Excuse Me, miss. Do You need some help pushing Him to where He needs to go?

Anne Marie - Oh, Well, I'm taking Old Man Barkin to the race track.

Man - Really? You know, Children aren't allowed to even see the race. Is He wanting to bet on a horse? (A woman sees Itchy and pats His head.)

Anne Marie - Yes. Old Man Barkin wants to bet on Chawhee.

Man - Chawhee? the odds on Him is 100 to 1. Why would He want to bet on such a long shot?

(Charlie quietly whispers.)

Anne Marie - He said, "It's His birthday." He means the horse.

Man - Oh.

Anne Marie - I'm Anne Marie. Of course it's alright, Sir. And thank You. But, try not to talk to Him too much.

Harold - Ok. Even He deserves something to hope for in this world. (At the betting place, Harold wheels Charlie to one of the stands.)

Man at Betting Window - Name of Horse and how much will You bet?

Harold - He wants to bet on Chawhee.

(Charlie gives $500 to the man.)

Man at Betting Window - Chawhee? Well... alright. Good Luck, old Timer, You'll need it.

(The Bugle plays "Call to the Post", as the horses get ready, then a gunshot is heard as the horses run.)

(Outside the racetrack, Anne Marie along with Charlie, Annabelle and Itchy wait as They watch the race.)

Itchy - All We have to do is wait for the race to end.

Charlie - And hope that Chawhee wins.

(One of the horses reacts and approaches the front running horses.)

Horse - Hello! Amelia! Could I speak with You?

Female Horse (Amelia) - Oh! Nathaniel. How's everything?

Nathaniel - Fine, Thank You for asking. Now, Amelia, I know You're not one to throw a race, But, Today IS the Grand Chawhee's birthday, right?

Amelia - Is that a fact? Wait, really? I had no idea. (She slows up, letting Chawhee pass, as She and Nathaniel push Chawhee to the finish line.)

Itchy - Hoorah! He won! He won!

Charlie - We won...? We Won! (Passes out from the excitement)

Annabelle - They won...?

Anne Marie - Good Job, Chawhee! And Happy Birthday! (The scene changes to sundown as Harold approaches Charlie's group.)

Harold - Well, Mr. Barkin. I had My doubts. But, You won $20,000 in cash. (Places the cash on Charlie's coat's left sleeve) Sir? (Itchy gives a part of the money to Harold.) Huh? You're...?

Anne Marie - I think that's Itchy's way of saying Thank You.

Harold - $9,000? I can't take it.

Anne Marie - Mr. Barkin won't mind. I'm sure You can put it to good use, than what He'll do.

Harold - Oh. Well, if You insist... I'll pay You back, one day, Mr. Barkin and Thank You. (Walks off as Charlie wakes up.)

Charlie - Oh... Wha' happened?

Itchy - Charlie, We won! We won 11 Grand!

Charlie - 11 Grand? Yes! Chawhee won and-- 11 Grand? Where's the rest of it?

Anne Marie - Mr. Itchy gave a cut to Mr. Harold.

Charlie - What?! Itchy, I didn't say You could give away-- Well, $11,000 is a good start, and Our luck has just begun.

Chapter 11 - Rich Lifestyle
(In a montage, Charlie counts His newly acquired money. Then, at a betting place, five frogs are fighting one another, and the one with the most amount of warts wins as Charlie and Itchy cheer. At a “collect winnings” area, Anne Marie in disguise is given money. At another betting place, four geckos climb on a wall, and one of them reaches the ceiling, and Pulls a string, which drops confetti. As Anne Marie applauds as Annabelle shakes Her Head. At a restaurant, Anne Marie is given a lobster Dinner. As Charlie and Itchy eat some gourmet steaks. Then, at another betting place, Five Afghan hounds are covered in snow, butter popcorn, pizza dough, crabgrass, and mop heads four of them panic and head for the pool as Anne Marie shakes the winning Afghan hound’s paw. In a backdrop, Charlie and Itchy enjoy all their winnings until they notice Anne Marie depressed, so they take Her to a clothes store, Where Anne-Marie chooses a variety of clothes to choose from and as Charlie and Itchy notice Anne Marie in each attire, They applaud. Anne Marie then gives money to the salesperson. The salesperson waves to Anne Marie as She along with Charlie and Itchy leave, then at the Junkyard, Itchy was counting up the money, then He nods. Itchy Checks the area around the junkyard and makes a map And draws blueprints of places to put doghouses and a place called Charlie’s place. Soon, Itchy uses a magnet crane to place wrecked Cars into a pyramid, and putting a neon sign saying “Charlie’s Place” then, the junkyard grounds are filled with Sheds as makeshift dog houses, as fireworks explode with a sign saying “Grand Opening” on Charlie’s place. Inside, Canines of all sorts, plays gambling games, play music, and eat high quality food.)

Charlie - Ah. Roulette, Poker, Blackjack, Dominoes. Itch, this casino could best the others in Reno. And who knows? With that much support from Our customers, That casino can last a few dog lives and expand throughout the world. We'll live like kings.

Itchy - Perhaps. But, don’cha think We had enough? The second Carface realizes--

Charlie - Itch, He won't know until it's too late. In fact—

Annabelle - Charles, I promise You, Your plan to get back at the other casino's owner is going to end badly. and revenge is never something heaven would approve.

Itchy - Heaven?

Charlie - Oh, won't You lighten up? there are some things that can't go unfinished. (Notices Anne Marie packing up.) Huh? What’s going on? You’re leaving?

Anne Marie - I am! You said We would help the poor, and you didn’t. You only gave homes to your friends, and I don’t think They’re poor at all. And all you do is gamble and cheat. It's never right!

Annabelle - Like I said, Charles. It'll end badly.

Charlie - Anne Marie, Cheating is when you sneak a couple of aces under the table. But, You’re somewhat right. Besides, I’m just settling a score with Carface. and I did say I'd help You get parents.

Itchy - Somewhat?

Anne Marie - Good point. (Hugs Charlie) Thanks. (Walks off)

Itchy - Charlie, I don’t understand. We have a business, and--

Charlie - Itch, Only after Carface’s Casino is shut down, then, We can give Anne Marie a home. things take time.

Itchy - Sigh. If you say so...

(Inside Carface's Casino, where a leg of mutton is tossed in a fish tank. Soon, a school of Piranha eat the meat off the leg. then the bone. as the screen zooms out, Killer who is tied up is facing Carface and the casino workers.)

Carface - How unfortunate. First, My Race Cats are gone along with the girl, Then My money supply is dwindling, due to lack of customers to soak. for that, You're going to take a swim with them (Points at the Piranha.)

Killer - Boss, No! (A Brutish Sheepdog picks up Killer, as He's about toss Him in the piranha tank.) Boss, Stop! Charlie's alive! Please!

Carface - What? Wait. Explain.

Killer - Charlie's alive. Mauve said He saw Him at a restaurant this afternoon.

Carface - My accountant? (Looks at Him) Is that true, Mauve? (Mauve nods.) So, That might be why My Cats went missing. the girl, too. That's quite some information. But, that’s not enough to convince me. (The Sheepdog proceeds to toss Killer, but the latter puts up a fight to stay alive.)

Mauve - Mr. Carface, murdering Killer won't bring back Your racecats.

Carface - You stay out of this.

Killer - Boss, Don't! I've a gun in My room! Please!

Carface - Gun. Gun? be more specific. What kind of Gun?

Killer - It's called a Flash Gordon Thermo-Atomic Raygun, sir. It's been deemed illegal for anyone owning it.

Carface - Ah. Even better than a popgun. He he he he he. (His face turns red as He gets an evil look in His eyes, then the screen blacks out.) Search everywhere.

Chapter 12 - New Home for Tabasco's family
(Outside a dilapidated Church, Charlie, Itchy, and Anne Marie enter it with some boxes.)

Itchy - Boss, how long was your previous visit to the church?

Charlie - Does it really matter?

Itchy - Don’t forget, She broke Your heart. Of course, Those cats need a place of safety.

Anne Marie - At least Tabasco and Praline's kittens will be safe here.

Charlie - If You say so. (they go inside the church, and up a staircase. Once at the top floor, They see a rough collie and a slew of puppies, listening to a radio.)

Radio - ...Before She knew it, the cat became desperate and ate Her, without a second thought. but, as the days went on, The cat began to regret what She did. (A few pups shed tears.)

Charlie - Hey! Does anyone want food?

Collie - Charlie?

Puppies - Charlie! (they swarm Charlie.)

Charlie - Whoa! Calm down, there! There’s plenty for everyone. Fried salmon, some bread, fried eggs, blueberries, strawberries too. Ok, you guys. Could I have your attention? (The pups quiet down.) Thank You. First, I’d like to introduce you to a special guest. Anne Marie.

Anne Marie - It’s a pleasure to meet you. (The pups continue eating.)

Tabasco - Charlie, are they your kids?

Charlie - I wish. Of course, I wouldn't mind getting married when I was a young rogue.

Itchy - Sorry. Charlie doesn’t want anyone talking about His past. all I know is, Flo was Charlie’s first love and female friend.

Flo - (laughs softly.) Hello, Charlie. You haven’t changed much. Except for that watch.

Charlie - Well, No. some weird Things happened.

Flo - Weird Things?

Charlie - Well, I can't explain all the details. But, if it's alright-- Wait, Where's your husband?

Flo - You mean Delta? Delta, We got visitors!

Delta - Ok. I'm coming. (Coming out from under the sofa, was a Welsh Corgi Hound wearing small glasses.) Um, Flo, Who are they?

Flo - Oh, That's My childhood friend Charlie. His Friend Itchy, and Their owner, Anne Marie.

Charlie/Itchy - Owner?

Anne Marie - Um, Actually, I don't own them-- (The Pups fight over the salmon.)

Delta - Kids, calm down! (The puppies stop fighting.) Thank You.

Flo - Charlie, This is My husband, Delta. He was once a Guard dog for a restaurant, but He resigned when He didn't get enough food.

Anne Marie - Miss Flo, Did You and Charlie fall in love When You were very young?

Flo - Well, In the farm, Yes. Of course, Charlie was sort of, what should I say? Too mangy and too Devil-may-care.

Anne Marie - Ohh... So, that explains when Itchy said, You broke His Heart. (The Pups fight again.)

Delta - Kids, please! No fighting!

Anne Marie - Miss Flo, Have You or Your husband... bullied any cats in the past?

Flo - No, I haven't. but any cat that comes to the Church is welcome to stay. (Looks down.)

Charlie - Well, I'm glad They heard You said that.

Flo - They?

Charlie - Come on up! (Tabasco's family comes up) I want to introduce You to Tabasco, His wife, Praline, and Their five kittens. You don't mind them staying at the church, do You?

Flo - No, I don't mind. (The Pups are fighting again.)

Delta - Kids, I said stop fighting! There's plenty of food for everyone. Right?

Charlie - Delta, Let Me handle this. C'mon! You mind sharing?

Charlie - Now, now, c'mon, don't fight! Alright, I'm gonna- I'm gonna tell you something about sharing. (Singing) What's mine is yours, What's yours is mine. The more you share, the more the Sun'll shine! Again, What's mine is yours. What's your-- Hey! Please! Stop! You shouldn't be fighting! Listen to Uncle Charlie!

Praline - I don't remember Flo or Delta having Charlie for a brother.

Tabasco - They don't.

Charlie - Whether you're the boss or someone's pet. The more you give, the more you're gonna get!

Puppies: You've got a little or a lot! You've got the share 'cause you know what?

Charlie - Yeah!

Puppies - Each other's all that we have got The Sun'll shine, if you share all the time!

Charlie: Yeah, What's mine is yours.

Puppies - You've got a little or a lot!

Charlie - Yes! What's yours is mine (You've got to share 'cause you know what?)

The more you share (Each other's all that we have got)

The more the Sun'll shine (The Sun'll shine!)

Puppies: If you share all the time!

Charlie (Puppies): Whether you're the boss (If you're a boss or just a pet)

Or someone's pet (I will be glad to make a bet!)

The more you give (The more you give, the more you get!)

''The more you're gonna get! (You're gonna get more than you had!)''

''The more you're gonna get! (The more you're gonna get all your life!)''

''The more you're gonna get! (The more you're gonna get all your life!)''

Puppies: The more you're gonna get!

Praline - Shh! (Quietly) My kids need their sleep. (Tabasco waves His arms horizontally)

Charlie - Sorry.

Tabasco - Once morning comes, Our kids will be playing alongside the puppies.

(The puppies go on to sleep.)

Charlie - You know, Anne Marie. We should go to sleep, too. We got a new day to look forward to.

Anne Marie - Alright.

Chapter 13 - Charlie worries about His Future
(Later, at Night, as everyone was asleep, the screen zooms in to Charlie, and His life watch.)

Annabelle's voice - You’ll never return... You’ll never return... You’ll never return... (Charlie’s watch opens, which is seconds away from midnight, and once midnight passed, the clock explodes to pieces. Charlie falls into a chasm colored red and black, an fell on a ship made of bone On a stream of Lava.)

Charlie: Oof! Gaaaaaah!!!!!

Devil Dog - Ah. Welcome to Hades, Charlie Barkin! As long as You’re here, You’ll never get bored, and You’ll definitely feel no coldness.

Charlie: Gaah!!!! (Makes a run for it.)

Devil Dog - No matter where You go, run, or hide, You’ll never escape. Not now, or ever! (Breathes fire, which become imps. Charlie makes a run through the stalagmites, avoiding the minions while avoiding the fires, but for naught.) It’s no use. Accept Your fate. (Charlie screams in anguish.)

Annabelle's voice: Charles.....Charles, wake up. (His nightmare melts away.)

Charlie - Wha? (wakes up and sees Annabelle) Ohh... What happened?

Annabelle - You had a horrible dream, right?

Charlie: Phew.....it was....(looks at his watch around his neck) Whew! It was only a dream. It’s times like this that I wish I could go a few days in the past, and stopped Carface from Killing Me.

Annabelle - Impossible.

Charlie: Why's that?

Annabelle - Charles, Going back in time is like asking for a world where dogs are the dominant species. Besides, any changes to the past could cause drastic changes in the future. But, like You, My twin brother left heaven of His own free will.

Charlie - What happened?

Annabelle - Well, years after I died, My brother was so depressed after dying, longed for the life He had. Eventually, My Brother decided to get His life clock and wound it up. I tried to stop Him, but He vanished soon after that. (Sheds tears which makes Charlie feel bad.) I dread to think where He is, now.

Charlie: Hey, Maybe Your brother had a good reason. not just wanting to go back to Earth, I mean. I'm sure He's somewhere in this world.

Annabelle: Well... We can hope, right? But... How will You atone for all the bad deeds You did, when You were alive?

Charlie - Well, I don’t know how many I’ll have to do to avoid going down there... (Flo wakes up)

Annabelle - Sigh. Charlie, it’s not about how many deeds you’ll do, it’s something you’ll have to do to risk your life for.

Charlie: Risk....my life? How can I? I'm dead, remember?

Flo - Dead?! What happened? (Charlie and Annabelle turn their heads and saw Flo who listened in.) Are You really... (Checks Charlie’s paw, which is cold) Your paw is like ice. (Charlie looks at Annabelle and sighs of defeat.)

Charlie - Flo, I have something to say I’m... dead. I’m sorry I didn’t say sooner

Flo: What happened?

Annabelle: Carface did this to him.

Flo - Who’s Carface?

Charlie: My EX-business partner of the casino. He wouldn't share the business and wanted me gone.

Flo: Then how did you....?

Annabelle - Charlie... wound up His life clock and returned to His earthly body, but as a zombie.

Flo - Zombie?

Charlie: Yes....and I wanted to run Carface out of business for good, just to get back at Him for killing Me.

Flo - Charlie... (Is in pain.) Delta... It might be time...

Annabelle - Time? Oh, my. I'll tend to Flo, everyone else, go downstairs. (They all go downstairs) Don't worry! Flo will be alright.

Chapter 14 - Flo's puppies are born
(Later, as the Puppies and Kittens play. Delta notices Charlie looking down.)

Delta - What is it?

Charlie - Well, I've had a horrible dream last night. where I was sent to a bad place.

Delta - Well, being trapped in a box for minutes, is quite a bad place.

Charlie - No, It's an Amusement park compared to what I'm referring to. Imagine... a Cavern, with Fire and Lava. Bat-faced gophers, and a Dragon with hundreds of teeth.

Delta - Ohh. Are You saying You're afraid of death?

Charlie - Well, You could say I escaped death, but Yes. and word of advice. after You die the first time, Don't-- I repeat, Don't wind up any clocks.

Annabelle - Ok! Delta, You can come up.

Delta - I'll remember it, Charlie. (Walks on up the stairs.) Oh, My. They're cute.

Annabelle - Charlie, you and the others can come up, too. (Charlie and the others come up and see three Collie-Corgi puppies.) Congratulations, Flo. Delta. You now have three puppies to nurture. I'm sure Your firstborn puppies are quite proud of You.

Flo - Well... The other puppies are strays.

Annabelle - Strays?

Delta - Yes. They didn't have any parents to take care of them, so, We let them stay at the Church. (Praline sheds tears.)

Praline - I want to say, Congratulations as well, Flo. and treasure Your kids to Your heart's content.

Itchy - Well, All that's left is to help Anne Marie find a home.

Charlie - Home? Oh, Ok. Flo, I wish You the best of Luck.

Puppy - Are You really going, Charlie?

Puppy - Will You come back?

Charlie - Well, You never know what the future holds. (He, Itchy, Annabelle, and Anne Marie head down to leave.)

Praline - Charlie! Charlie. (Charlie turns around.) Thank You. for letting My family stay with You, and for helping Us find a home.

Charlie - Oh! You're welcome. (He and the others leave.)

Chapter 15 - Anne Marie is Adopted
(At Audubon Park, Anne Marie and the dogs are resting on a park bench.)

Charlie - Sigh. We asked 39 People, and Not one of them wanted to adopt Her. Five are allergic to dogs, 2 of them are rich and insulted Us, 30 ignored Us, one was a straycatcher, and one tried to steal Annabelle.

Annabelle - It's not My fault the Whippet is considered one of the fastest of the dog breeds.

Itchy - And the Sun's going down. (They see the Sun go down.) Charlie, Let's head back to the Junkyard. We'll think of a new plan.

Anne Marie - So, I have to wait again?

(Charlie grins.)

Charlie - Well, Apparently. And once Carface is gone, We’ll retire in style in HollywoodLand.

Annabelle - Wait, Look. (She points at Harold and a woman, who are on a picnic blanket looking at the night sky.)

Anne Marie - Huh? It's Harold. (Walks toward Him and the woman.)

Charlie - Anne Marie. Think it over. even the harmless-looking ones can be menacing. (Anne Marie runs toward the couple) Anne Marie, What are You--? (Itchy pulls Charlie and Shushes Him.)

Anne Marie - Hello, there. It's a quiet night to look at the Stars, right?

Harold - Yes. Oh, It's You. Um, So... how is Barley...

Anne Marie - You mean, Barkin? Well, He's...

Harold - I want to properly thank Him.

Anne Marie - Well, I’m sure He’d thank you. But, He’s going to be going to HollywoodLand, whatever that means.

Harold - Oh. That’s a shame. But, Why don’t you head home? Your parents would be worried.

Anne Marie - Well, I don’t have any.

Woman - What? Then, You're an orphan? (Anne Marie nods.) Harold... (Whispers in Harold's ear.)

Harold - Well, Kate, If She's doesn't have parents to go home to... (Whispers with Kate. Annabelle listens with Her ear up.)

Annabelle - Go ahead, Anne Marie. They're perfect for You. (Anne Marie looks at Annabelle.)

Kate - Miss, You need a home, right? What do You say to living with Us for some time?

Anne Marie - Oh! I would! Thank You! (Hugs Kate and Harold.)

Charlie - Well, That's it. At least Carface won't be exploiting Her anymore.

Anne Marie - Charlie? (sees Anne Marie) Thank You. for everything (Charlie sheds a tear, and runs off as Itchy and Annabelle follow.) Charlie? (Anne Marie stands confused as the screen blacks out)

Chapter 16 - King of the Sewers
(Charlie and Annabelle walk inside a farmer's market.)

Charlie - Well, Annabelle. Now, that Anne Marie has a home, I guess that means I’ll have to close down Charlie’s place.

Annabelle - Well, It's a start. helping a little girl find a home’s quite good. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to...

(Carface, Killer holding a machine gun, and a St. Bernard is hiding behind a park bench.)

Carface - Ah. There's Charlie. I don't know who that pink one is, But, She could be quite a playmate for You.

Killer - Not Likely. I have a girlfriend back at Georgia. Besides, She's a Mixed Breed.

Carface - Well, you’re a mixed breed, too. Half Schnauzer and Half Poodle. Embarrassing.

Killer - We’re called Schnoodles, Boss.

Carface - Whatever. The pinkish one might know something. (Aims the ray gun at Charlie) Okay... and Goodbye, Charlie. (Charlie is shot multiple times, as Annabelle watches in shock.) He's Hit!

Annabelle - Charlie?! (Charlie's injuries glow a white light and vanish.) Is Your watch...?

Charlie - Ohhh! (Grabs His watch) Thank You.

Killer - He survived?

Carface - You didn't Hit any of His Vitals!

Killer - But, I did!

Charlie - Run, Annabelle!

Annabelle - You don't need to tell Me twice. (They run for dear life as the ray gun fires non-stop.)

Carface - You Morons! I'm surrounded by Morons! (ducks down from the laser) Watch it! (Charlie makes a turn but slips on a puddle on the street and falls in a storm drain. Annabelle follows, but She slips and crashes into a street barricade. She gets up dazed and sees Carface and His henchmen approach Her.) I don't know who you are, but any friend of Charlie I have will be something the casino people call, a bargaining chip. Killer, bring Her to the Casino. (Killer pouts and crosses His arms.) well, Your loss. Brutus. (The St. Bernard approaches Annabelle.)

Annabelle - No...! (Brutus’ shadow approaches Annabelle, but stops.)

Carface - Uh-Oh. Run like little puppies! (He along with Killer and Brutus run away.)

Annabelle - Huh? Why are-- (She is caught by a dogcatcher's net.)

Dog Catcher - Ah. A Purebred Whippet. You'll be worth a lot of money. Hmm. (Carries Annabelle off and places Her in the van, as a few other dogs evilly look at Her.)

Annabelle - Charlie, Help Me...! (The Van drives off to the Dog Pound as the screen blacks out. The Scene changes to a dilapidated sewer system, where Charlie wakes up.)

Charlie - Wha... where am I? Wait-- (Checks to see if His life watch is damaged.) Whew. No cracks, and it's still ticking. I guess it was a good thing the watch is still unbroken, right, Annabelle? Annabelle? Annabelle, where are You? (Sees a bunch of rats attacking Him, and knocking Him out cold with an soda bottle, and the screen blacks out. The scene changes to a darker and bigger section of the sewers, where a knocked out Charlie is in a cage, with His watch still in His paw. Charlie begins to wake up, hearing the sound of squeaking, and sees a big shadowy figure.)

Voice - Ah. You captured a Mutt with a gold pocket watch. (Charlie tries to saw the cage's wood bars with His claw.) normally, There would be cats going into the sewers to hunt down mice and rats. I'll be sure to put that watch in My collection of rare finds. (Charlie plays dead as the shadowy figure approaches, and is revealed to be a giant fat alligator.)

Charlie - (Thinking) A Crocodile?

Alligator - Hmm. (places a digit on Charlie's neck.) Ah. Dead as a doornail. (Points at a rat.) bite down on that mutt's paw and tell Me what He tastes like. (The Rat then comes to Charlie and bites His paw, making Charlie howl in pain.) Whoa! That howl is quite musical. and You're up, too. I don't know who You are, Dog, but I won't eat anyone who mastered the performing art of Singing.

Charlie - You... You sure? I... how do You explain those bones around You, Crocodile?

Alligator - Crocodile? Crocodile?! I'm No crocodile! I'm King Gator! I have more teeth! and I prefer a home with no salt in My water. and those bones as You can see, are from the Foxes, Rabbits, and of course, Louisiana's Scourge, the Coypu. Those stupid humans brought them from a place called Argentina. They don't know it, but I do. the Coypu look like small otters, but They destroy marshes and wetlands! So, I decided to keep those Coypu in check, by eating as many as possible. or course, the Rats there treat Me like a king because I'm bigger than most Alligators.

Charlie - Wow. But, Bigger isn't always better.

(Upbeat music plays as the sewer lights up.)

King Gator - And you're right. When It comes to taxes, searing pains, bullies, and opposing armies. Now... (Singing) When You're in the Sewer, It's really dark, You'll feel like You grew really old... But, worry not, it's not cold or Hot, Because Music is just like gold! Come on!

Charlie - Oh, uh... (Singing) I had a bad puppyhood when I was alive, I left home. Myself, I told. I wish I was in bed, but, wish I wasn't dead, Um... Music is Just like gold?

King Gator - Hmm. You got a bit bluesy, there. Get more upbeat.

Charlie - Upbeat? Like... (Singing) All I wanted was Money and Food, the good life, fine and bold, But, in a twist of fate, but, never late, Music will always be gold...

King Gator - You're getting there. (Singing) As an Alligator, I eat what I want, It's a Coypu, Middle-aged or old, But sailing a boat, as I sing a note, Music is Just like Gold... (Spoken) Now, What reason did You have coming here?

Charlie - Hey, I was running from a fat dog who tried to do Me in with a gun.

King Gator - A Gun? This isn't the Prohibition era, anymore. So, You came Here just to hide from Your pursuers, right?

Charlie - Yeah.

King Gator - Well, if that's the case, If You need any help, Just Howl, and I'll assist You. Hopefully, I'll be here to help. Now, You there, Guide Our friend to the nearest exit out of the sewer. (the Rats guide Charlie through a tunnel.) Ohhhhh.... (Singing) Music Is like gold, Whenever You grow Old, Just so I'm told, Where I live, It's never sold, Life is a Game, I'll never fold, Life can be Hot or maybe, cold, Music is Just... Like... Goooooooold! Ha! Ha-Ha!

Chapter 17 - Rescuing Annabelle
(the scene changes to a neighborhood at dawn as Charlie comes out of a storm drain. Charlie sniffs around)

Charlie - Whew! Finally. (Dashes off.)

(At a house which is under construction, Anne Marie is resting on a mattress. An instrumental version of “Soon, You’ll come home” plays. In Her mind, what appears is a series of sepia photographs of Anne Marie playing a board game with Harold and Kate with Flo watching, Anne Marie playing mini-golf with Harold and Kate as Itchy watches, Anne Marie with Tabasco and Praline looking at the fireflies, Anne Marie watching Annabelle playfully chasing a squirrel, Anne Marie reading a book as the kittens look at it, Anne Marie playing catch with Charlie as Harold applauds, Anne Marie on a forest hike with Harold, Kate And Delta, Anne Marie and Kate ice-skating, Anne Marie and Harold fishing at a pond, Anne Marie bathing the puppies as Harold and Kate help, and the dream ends as Anne Marie wakes up.)

Anne Marie - Charlie? (Looks out the window and sees Charlie on the driveway.) Charlie! You came to visit. You ran off quickly, I didn’t get the chance to ask if You wanted to live in this house. It isn’t finished yet, but in a few weeks, it will be. (Notices Charlie getting worried) what’s wrong?

Charlie - Anne Marie, While I was getting out of the sewers last night, I did some thinking. Just... promise Me two things. One, tell no one about Your ability to talk to animals. Because, if anyone found out, You’d be exploited, like what Carface did to You. And Two, live a great life in your own way. (Starts to Walk off as He sheds tears)

Anne Marie - Charlie?

Charlie - Just Promise Me.

Anne Marie - I promise.

Charlie - Good. Goodbye, Anne Marie. and Thank You.

Anne Marie - Charlie, Wait! I want to say that a few minutes ago, I heard some dogs say that a thin dog named Annabelle has been caught by the straycatcher. I don't know if it's the same Annabelle You know...

Charlie - What? Oh, No... I have to save Her. (Runs off Through the streets, then, a moment later, One of Carface's henchmen come out from a fence. Later, outside the Dog Pound, Charlie looks at it, and sees a bigger gate and more security.) Just great. How can I... (Looks at the storm drain.) Yeah.

(Inside the building, Annabelle is inside a cage, crying.)

Worker - First thing in the Morning, Hunters and Gamblers will want to have You, a Purebred. Ha ha ha. (Leaves the room.)

Annabelle - Ohh... (a Rottweiler's paw goes through and embraces Annabelle’s arm, who pulls away. Then a Sheepdog embraces Annabelle’s paw.) No! (pulls away and stays in the center of the cage, away from the two dogs.) So, that’s another reason dogs don’t Want to come here... (Singing) Be it At Day, or Even at Night. All would be born, and all will die... Such is Fate. (the screen goes wavy as it blacks out. at a viewpoint, an eye opens to see a starry night, then turns to Annabelle’s Terrier mom and Greyhound dad, who are beaming and waving. In a basket, puppy Annabelle looks around alongside 5 other puppies, as the parents look at each other. the scene changes to a small racetrack, where Annabelle's Father teaches His six puppies to run a few laps around.) Whether You're fast, or whether You're slow, Life's to short to Wait... No matter the goal, No matter the toll... (After Teaching them, He watches His puppies run and after one lap, the pups are excited, except Annabelle who is tired. but Her head is patted by Her father.) Such is Fate... (Annabelle and Her brothers and sisters are groomed as Their Mother watched.) But, like life, best things don't last for long... I assume more great things to come, but I... was wrong... (Annabelle and Her siblings wave to Their parents as they leave home. Annabelle, at Her new home, playfully chases a kitten, but a snake attacks Her biting Her paw.) But, as I lowered to My final breath, I've no regrets, that I'd relate. (Annabelle's brothers and Sisters come to Her aid as Annabelle closes Her eyes.) But, how it is, Life moves on... (Annabelle opens Her eyes to see Heaven, which intrigues Her.) Such... is Fate. (The flashback ends as Annabelle sheds tears, then She hears a sound.) Huh?

Charlie - Annabelle...? (Comes out of a sewer hole.) I've come to spring You.

Annabelle - (Quietly) Charlie. Shhh! (Charlie spots Annabelle without Her ribbon and amulet inside a cage.)

Charlie - Annabelle. (hugs Annabelle with His one arm.) Don't worry. I'll get You out.

Annabelle - (Quietly) Charlie, There's too many locks. It'll take hours to remove them all with keys.

Charlie - Don't worry. There's another way to remove the locks without using a key. (Runs off and returns with Bolt Cutters.)

Annabelle - What is that, Charlie?

Charlie - They're called Bolt Cutters. mostly used at Shipyards and docks. Now, I need to concentrate. (Cuts one of the locks successfully.)

Annabelle - Wow. (Charlie cuts another lock.) Just three more to go, Charlie. (One of the Pound workers wakes up and sees Charlie freeing Annabelle.)

Charlie - One more, and You're free. (Charlie cuts the last lock.) Got it!

Annabelle - Charlie! Look out! (Charlie turns around and sees the Pound worker.)

Worker - You again! (Goes to grab Charlie but misses, then Annabelle slams the cage door on the worker.)

Annabelle - This is for all the dogs' lives You and Your cruel pounds destroyed! (Goes to the garbage bin and picks up Her ribbon and amulet.) OK.

Rottweiler - What about Us?

Sheepdog - Yeah! (the doors hinge.) Hey, They didn't lock our cages! Run for it! (They escape the building)

Charlie - They got the right idea, Annabelle. Let's go! (An alarm sounds as Charlie and Annabelle crawl through the sewer system, then after exiting, They both run for dear life.)

Chapter 18 - The Attacked Church
(At the Church, as the weather was starting to get cloudy, Flo, Delta, and their Puppies are asleep, as Charlie and Annabelle look at the cloudy sky as the both of them have their arms over each other's shoulders, then, Charlie looks at His life watch.)

Charlie - Annabelle, You said that once I reactivate My life watch, I won't return to Heaven, Is that right?

Annabelle - Yes. so long as Your clock still ticks, You won't descend to... You-know-where. (Carface And a few of His henchmen sneak inside the Church as Tabasco stirs from His sleep.)

Charlie - Annabelle, When I went to the Pound to save You, I did some thinking. and... I know I won't be able to make up for bringing You to Earth against Your will.

Annabelle - Well, It's not all that bad. except for being caught by the dog catcher, It was enjoyable. I had no idea Earth has so many thing that Heaven lacked.

(Tabasco screeches.)

Charlie and Annabelle - Tabasco! (They head down and Carface attacks Charlie.)

Carface - So, that's Where You were hiding. I'm also surprised You helped Your girlfriend escape the pound.

Charlie - Help!

Praline - Tabasco!

Tabasco - Praline...! (Flo And Delta wake up to assist Charlie, as Tabasco helps protect Praline from the invaders, Delta hears yelping and protects the puppies from one of the henchmen, But Delta is tossed aside by a St. Bernard and hit hard against a wall, knocking Him out)

Flo - Delta! (Tackles the St. Bernard And protects the puppies, then they see Charlie restrained by two of Charlie’s Henchmen)

Carface - Well, Charlie. You sure gave Us a lot of trouble. Stealing My source of income, My race cats, and My customers. But, You’ll make up for it with Your death.

Tabasco - Praline, On one, You run to Charlie’s place And tell Itchy to get help.

Praline - I’m too tired to even run, Tabasco.

Tabasco - But, Our kittens need You.

Henchdog - Hey, keep quiet!

Tabasco - Chase Your own tail, mutt! (The henchdog gets angry.)

Praline - Tabasco, you can get there faster. I believe in You. (Kisses Tabasco) And Kids, hold on to your father until He says it’s all right. (The kittens hang on to Tabasco’s back.) Good luck.

Henchdog - Ah! Tasty kittens.

Praline - One! (Attacks The henchdog) Run! (Tabasco runs as the kittens hang on and they escape the church)

Killer - Hey! (Goes after Tabasco, who escapes with His life) Ohhh.... Boss, that cat got away.

Carface - and He won’t for long. We got the girl, Anyway. (Delta weakly opens His eye, but closes) Brutus, go after that cat and eat Him alive. (Brutus goes after Tabasco.) Everyone else, bring the prisoners to my casino! (Carface And His henchmen drag Charlie, Annabelle, Flo, Praline, And the Puppies on their way to the casino.)

Delta - Ugh... (Three Welsh Corgi/Collie lick Delta's face, as He sheds tears.) Flo...

(At Charlie’s place, Itchy is just about done with tending the bar.)

Itchy - Sigh. I wonder where Charlie went. He should pull His own weight at this place. Not that it matters...

Tabasco - Itchy! (He arrives in front of Itchy)

Itchy - Tabasco, What is it? You look like You‘re running from an angry mob.

Tabasco - Never mind the jokes, Itchy! Some fat dog invaded the church and took Charlie and the others away!

Itchy - Fat Dog? You mean Carface?

Tabasco - big fat nose, small pointy ears, a spot on His right eye...

Itchy - A simple Yes, would have been more specific.

Tabasco - Worse, If anything bad happens to Praline... (Tabasco sadly looks at the Kittens.) They'll starve.

Itchy - I hear ya. No parent would want to go through that.

Terrier - Itchy! Itchy!

Itchy - What?! (Brutus breaks inside and is ready to attack Tabasco.) Well. I take it You have a grudge against Tabasco? (Brutus sees Itchy and the customers, who attack Brutus and the scene changes to Brutus being knocked out and inside a wood barrel as Itchy tends to the kittens.) Ok, everyone! We knew Carface cheats His customers of their money with His rigged cat races. But the second He threatened the lives of others, including young kittens and Charlie, He’s gone too far! Now, who’s for Rescuing Charlie? (None of the other dogs react, as They are afraid.)

Tabasco - And You call yourselves dogs? Charlie helped Me reunite with Praline, and He also made possible that My kittens would be safe. I’m going to help Charlie and Praline. With or without anyone’s help. (Runs to Carface’s Casino.)

Itchy - So, What do You say to that? You’re gonna let a cat take on Carface and His cronies all alone? (The customers start to bark, and louder) Ok! Now, We’ll need everyone’s help. Tell all the cats and dogs of New Orleans to head for Carface’s Casino! Let’s Go! (The Customers exit and head for Carface’s Casino) Oh-- but first, I better put the little guys somewhere safe.

Chapter 19 - Showdown with Carface
(At Carface's Casino, a Thunderstorm was happening, and inside was a slew of cages on different levels. one contained Annabelle, one had Anne Marie, one had Flo, one had the Puppies, one had Praline, and one had Charlie. Charlie began to wake up.)

Charlie - Wha... Where am I? (Checks His clock) Oh, Still going. Whew. (Looks at the cages and sees Anne Marie.) Anne Marie! Are You alright?

Carface - Ah. Charlie. You're up.

Killer - Hello, Charlie.

Carface - Shut Up. Charlie, that Clock of Yours is the least of Your worries. What I'm going to do is quite how You'll make up for My losses. (Points at Flo and Annabelle) Those Two will be My personal assistants. (Points at the Puppies) The younglings will be My racepups. tasked with chasing Her. (Points at Praline) You'll be working for Me until the day You die. and the girl? She'll know who'll win the races in the future.

Mauve - Carface, If I could speak--

Carface - Not Now.

Mauve - Seriously, I think that's My sister up there.

Carface - Yeah, right. and My Mom's a Cat. Now, Shut it!

Charlie - Carface, wait! Let everyone else go, and I'll let You kill Me in any way You want.

Killer - Wow. Killing Charlie any way You want, Carface.

Carface - I'll agree on silencing You, Charlie. But, I will not let any of My meal tickets leave. (Menacing Music plays.) And for Good reason. (Singing) Money as I've heard makes the World go round, as everyone in this world wants something to fill their need. Be it gold, jewels, or even baseball cards, Everyone is Green with Greed! (Spoken) Now, in the past, there was no such thing as money. and all They can do is trade and trade. eventually in Turkey, the first coins were minted. then Cowrie shells were used in trade, then a great example of Greed was over 90 years ago, when people went west in search of gold. people were greedy enough to cause chaos to others and jump claims to acquire fortune. (Singing) Only a handful were very rich. That's how it should be in My case, In Yours You'd best concede. No matter what era, Life is not always Fair-uh, Everyone's Green with Greed!

Praline - I can't believe You. Charlie offered to sacrifice Himself, and You refuse to let Us go?

Carface - All He did was sweeten the deal for Me. (Singing) Cats are only good for Dogs to chase, as They sprout up like a water weed, I'll get rich as I grow old, Aquiring lots of Gold... Everyone's green with greed! (Music ends.)

Flo - I can't believe He'd...

Praline - Carface, You're the most heartless Mutt I ever had the misfortune of meeting! (Carface's henchmen react shockingly.)

Carface - You shouldn't have said that, Moggy. (Tabasco sneaks in the Casino without being seen, and sneaks to the power room.) You'll drown first. But, before that, Put My former accountant in with the pink one.

Mauve - What? (Killer and a few of Carface's henchmen pick up Mauve and Stuff Him in Annabelle's cage.) Ow...

Annabelle - Mauve... You recognize Me...? Ohh...! (Hugs Mauve.) It's really You!

Carface - Ok. Boys. Down the cage all the way in the water, starting with that cat. (One of the henchdogs uses a control to lower Praline's cage in the water but stops, inches away from the water.) Huh? I said all the way. (The henchdog becomes frustrated with the controls.) Ugh, I'm surrounded by Morons. Drown someone else! I don't care who! (the Henchdog tries to use the other controls, but They don't respond as Tabasco leaves the power room, then goes to undo Charlie's cage lock.) Ohhhhh...! AAAAAA!

Charlie - (Quietly) Great timing, Tabasco.

Tabasco - (Quietly) Think nothing of it. Hopefully, Itchy and the others will help. (Unlocks Charlie's cage)

Carface - You! All You did was delay Their deaths.

Charlie - Tab, I'll keep Carface busy, while You free the others.

Tabasco - OK. Charlie. Good Luck!

(Charlie fights off Carface's henchmen. Tabasco frees Praline from Her cage, and goes to free the Puppies' cage as Praline goes to free Flo. Charlie sees one dog try to get Praline, so Charlie grabs the henchdog by the leg, making Him trip into the water. Praline unlocks Annabelle and Mauve's cage.)

Carface - Morons! Killer! Eliminate that Cat who's ruining everything!

Killer - Wha-- (Carface kicks Killer sending Him flying toward Tabasco, who just freed Anne Marie, but Tabasco dodges as Killer crashes facefirst against the cage.) Ow... (Falls in the water.)

Tabasco - Ok, Charlie! That's all of them!

Charlie - Ok! head for the exit! (three of the henchdogs gang up on Charlie.) Don't worry about Me. Just get Anne Marie from here. Go.

Tabasco - But, You need--

Charlie - GO! (Tabasco and the other hostages run for the exit as one Henchdog punches Charlie in the face. In the city of New Orleans, The Dogs and Cats led by Itchy rush to the rescue, all heading for Carface's Casino as Delta comes too.)

Delta - Flo...

Itchy - Delta, What are You...

Delta - I have to get to Flo. Where is She?

Itchy - She and the others are at Carface's Casino. We have to hurry. (Dashes off as Delta follows.)

(Back at the Casino, Charlie is still fending off the henchdogs as one goes after Tabasco and the hostages.)

Charlie - Tabasco! One's behind You! (Another Henchdog bites Charlie's leg, causing Him to Howl in pain.)

Carface - You'll keep quiet. You'll live longer, not that it will help. (Three Henchdogs tie Charlie to an anchor as the remaining ones go after Tabasco and the others. Then, King Gator resurfaces and tackles the Casino.) What in--?!

(Anne Marie loses Her balance and falls in the water unseen as Flo and the Puppies manage to escape, then Mauve and Annabelle. Tabasco sees Charlie in need of help.)

Praline - Tabasco, Let's go.

Tabasco - Praline, I have to help Charlie. Our Kittens need You, now more than ever.

Praline - Tabasco... You're right. (Kisses Tabasco.) For luck. (Tabasco runs back to aid Charlie.)

Carface - Who's tearing town My Casino?! (King Gator breaks through the casino's hull.) What? What? WHAT?! (Carface's Henchmen run away.) Cowards! Get back here! You're all fired! (Killer tries to do the same, but Carface grabs Him) No, You're not. (Tosses Killer in the water.) You'll keep that Stupid Gator away from Me!

Killer - Boss, Please! You can't just-- (Sees King Gator coming, but doesn't eat Him.) Huh? (Sees Anne Marie out cold and on a piece of wood.) the Girl! (The Gator tackles the Casino, which causes one of the barrels of oil to spill on an engine, causing the oil to catch on fire.) Yikes!

Carface - Your interference with My empire will cost You much more than Your life, Charlie. (Pushes the Anchor Charlie's tied to, leaving Him to drown, then, Tabasco claws at Carface's face) AAAA! You useless--! (Tosses Tabasco at the wall, then Tabasco dives underwater and uses His claws to cut the rope, allowing Charlie to resurface.)

Charlie - Whew! Tabasco, You--

Tabasco - We can't celebrate Yet, Charlie. Look! (They see Killer and Anne Marie trapped by a ring of fire.)

Charlie - Anne Marie! (He sees Carface recovering, and Charlie sighs.) Tabasco? You get Anne Marie out of here.

Tabasco - But, what about--

Charlie - I'll keep Carface from coming after You. (Places His life watch around a bar of steel)

Tabasco - (Looks at Anne Marie.) Ok. Try to get out alive. (Goes to help Anne Marie.)

Carface - No! You'll not get awa--! (Charlie fights off Carface for a few moments but, sees Anne Marie sinking.)

Charlie - Anne Marie! (Stamps on Carface's foot, causing the both of them to fall in the water. Carface goes to attack Charlie, but swims away when He sees King Gator, who pursues Him. as the Casino was capsizing, Charlie's life watch falls in the water, as Charlie gets Anne Marie up on a wood board. then feels pain like He's drowning. Charlie then goes to get His watch, but sees Tabasco resurfacing with the watch.) Tabasco? But, how--?

Tabasco - That watch is important to You, right? (The casino begins to crumble.) Let's take Our leave.

Charlie - Agreed. (They swim away from the Casino, as it capsizes and sinks.)

(Outside the Casino, The Cats and Dogs watch the casino sink.)

Itchy - It's sinking.

Delta - Flo! (Hugs Flo) I'm so glad You and the kids are alright.

Itchy - Where's Anne Marie and Charlie?

Flo - Look! (They see King Gator leave and the Casino capsizes. Then, They see Charlie, Killer, and Tabasco row Anne Marie to shore, as Anne Marie coughs, then A Female Schnoodle comes to Killer's aid.)

Female Schnoodle - Killer, Are You alright? (Hugs Killer.) Don't worry, I'm here. Are You crying?

Killer - Ohh... (Sheds tears.) Yes. I'm sorry.

Flo - Charlie! You saved everyone.

Charlie - Huh? Yeah... (Passes out.)

Chapter 20 - Ending
(Inside the Hospital. Charlie, Itchy, and Tabasco's family sleep near Anne Marie. then, Charlie's life watch glows as it’s ticking, stirring Charlie.)

Charlie - Wha?

(Annabelle and Mauve magically appear as Tabasco protects His kittens and Praline.)

Charlie - Annabelle. Mauve. I...

Annabelle - Don't worry, Charlie. (She touches the clock, which vanishes and Charlie's body is restored.)

Itchy - Charlie. You don’t look pale anymore.

Charlie - (Checks His neck) I... I don't understand. I'm... alive?

Annabelle - Charlie, You made the choice of saving this young girl, and You found My brother. good deeds like these, means You deserve a second chance to live life and once You're ready, Heaven will await Your return.

Mauve - Yeah. I've a lot of catching up to do, back in heaven. I've really wore out My welcome. And You, Your name's Tabasco, right? Michael will be quite thrilled to hear of Your good deeds, and what You did for Charlie.

Annabelle - Agreed.

Tabasco - Who’s Michael?

Annabelle - He‘s someone up there who thinks Cats should go to heaven, as well as dogs. So, that will mean most of the cats who were put to rest down there and those who will die, will go up there. Also... (Charlie's silver watch glows, causing Her to have an earthly body.) Because You gave Me that watch, You also gave Me a second chance at life. Mauve? I've got a lot to learn about this generation of Earth, but I'll return.

Mauve - Annabelle, I'll look forward to Your return in Heaven. (He hugs Annabelle, as She does the same, Mauve floats upward.)

Annabelle - Safe Journey, Brother. (Mauve vanishes.)

Flo - Wow. To think that Heaven really exists.

(Anne Marie yawns)

Anne Marie - Charlie...? (She hugs Charlie.)

Charlie - The one and the same. Squeaker... I’m sorry. I'm sorry I didn’t fulfill My promise to you sooner.

Anne Marie - It’s alright, Charlie. I have a home. And that's the best thing You did. But, Where's Carface?

(Scene changes to the swamps, where Carface resurfaces from the wreckage.)

Charlie - Oh, don't worry too much. I'm sure He won't bother Us or anyone ever again.

Carface - Ugh. (spits on the ground.) Ohh... When I get My paws on You, Charlie-- (a paw taps Carface's shoulder.) What is it?! (Turns around and looks in surprise at a mob of Cats.) Oh... Nooooooooo.....!!!!!! (Runs away as the Cats pursue Him.) HELP!

Charlie - And... Squeaker, Once You're out of the hospital, What do You say...

(The Scene changes to Anne Marie's home with the caption, "Four Days Later", with Charlie wearing a Black bow tie, and Annabelle wearing a light pink veil as the wedding goers look with pride, Killer cries tears as His wife and Pup console Him.)

Anne Marie - Do You take Her to be Your wedded Wife?

Charlie - Yes, I do.

Anne Marie - And do You take Him to be Your wedded Husband?

Annabelle - I do.

Anne Marie - You may kiss the bride. (Charlie kisses Annabelle, and They run toward the aisle. then, as Harold sets up the camera timer, He gets in the shot, of the wedding Photo.)

Harold - Well, This will be quite a picture. With that many cats and Dogs. (A camera flash is heard.) Ok. (Annabelle looks at Her left and sees Her family and Mauve waving, then they vanish, which makes Annabelle beam with happiness.)

Charlie - Annabelle, What are You looking at?

Annabelle - Oh. Just My imagination. (She runs with Charlie as the scene disappears in a pink haze. The words “The End” appear in a gold color.)

(as the end credits began, Charlie's book opens which shows an image every time a page is turned, which is Charlie high fiving Itchy and Tabasco, Killer playing with His son as Killer’s wife watches, Anne Marie and Her foster parents tending to Flo’s clan, Carface’s henchmen captured by the straycatchers, Carface running away from a mob of Cats as Killer watches, Charlie introducing His family to Tabasco and Praline and their kittens. Mauve from up in the sky look downward at the planet. Charlie and Annabelle looking at Their puppies. Then, Charlie and Annabelle look up at the sky.)
