Script
Narrator'': You know the story of how Lady and Tramp fell in love and became part of Darling & Jim Dear's family. Well, this story is about their son, Scamp, who wished to be wild and free. But when he got his wish, he was in for a big adventure! If you wanna hear about it, you can read along with me in this book if you like. And remember, when you hear this sound, (Harp sound) turn the page. Let's begin now....''

"Son," said Tramp, "The world out there is full of traps. Here, you have a family who loves you." But Scamp wasn't convinced. He explained to his dad that he didn't feel as though he belonged, and he wanted to be wild and free on the streets, not stuck in a house with nothing but rules. "All I ever hear is rules, rules, rules! "Don't do this" and "don't do that"! What good are teeth and claws if you can never use them?!" Because of this, Tramp gave up trying to convince his son, and went back inside, knowing it would take a bit longer than he'd thought to convince him otherwise.

No sooner had Tramp left, Scamp heard a bunch of stray dogs

"So long, you house dogs!" he yelled. "You can't tell me what to do anymore, ’cause I'm a wild dog!" He squeezed through the fence, and off he went! And it wasn't too long till Scamp soon found out the streets were nothing like his house at all!

Early the next morning, back at the house, Lady came out and saw that Scamp had gone missing! "Scamp? Oh no! Tramp!" She rushed back inside to tell Tramp what had happened, and when Jim Dear and Darling found out, they were very worried indeed. "Did you call the pound?" "Yes, dear. They haven't seen him." Lady and Tramp knew they had to go out to look for him. Lady's friends, Jock, and Trusty, also volunteered to join the search. "We'll be back with your brother in no time." Tramp assured his daughters. Suddenly, JIm Dear called out, "Lady, Tramp, let's go!" "Come on!" said Tramp as he headed off with Lady, Jock, and Trusty. "No telling what mischief that pup's getting into!"

Narrator: Tramp didn't know that Scamp had headed toward a junkyard, and met up with the stray dogs he'd encountered yesterday.

...

That evening, The Junkyard Dogs took a walk in the park. Scamp was excited about his accomplishments. He wished his family could've seen him. "This is great! This is living! I never get to do this at home!" he cheered. "After I pass my next test, l'm gonna be the best junkyard dog there ever was!" "I don't think so, doll," said Ruby, "You may be good, but you'll never be as good as the master." "Ruby's right, carnsarnit." said Sparky. "In my day, there was only one stray by which all dogs was measured." And then all the strays said together, "The Tramp."

Buster spoke up. "He met this girl, see? Queen of a kennel club set. Lady." Scamp realized that was his mother's name. "He betrayed me!" Buster continued. "You can't have a family and still be a junkyard dog. And he picked life on the end of a chain. And that's when I learned the first rule about being a Junkyard Dog: Buster's trouble is Buster's trouble."

Narrator: Later that night, Scamp wandered around in a railyard. He was confused that his father had been a stray who had given his old life up. "No way, Dad, that can't be true. You gave it all up?! I mean, what could be better than this?" Then he saw Angel, who had followed him. "Don't you have a nice family back home?" she asked. "What difference does it make? All families are alike." Scamp retorted. "Let's just say you're lucky you've never had to live with a family." "Actually," said Angel as the two of them walked along, "I've had 5 families. Someone would take me in, and just when l'd start to think, "Wow, this is my family", they'd move, or have a new baby, or have an allergy. Same old story, I'm out on the street. The junkyard dogs aren't much of a family, but what choice do I have?" "What more do you need?" As a junkyard dog, you can stay up late or dig or--" "Run!" Angel shouted. Scamp looked, and they soon realized why they had to run - a train was fast approaching them!

Scamp and Angel raced down the track, but the train was catching up! Eventually, the 2 of them jumped off the track, and jumped into the river in the park.

Scamp & Angel walked through the town and park together, having fun, and later, at Tony's restaurant, they had spaghetti and meatballs, just like Lady and Tramp had on their date together, years ago. As the night went on, Scamp and Angel ran down Scamp's neighbourhood, Snob Hill. Then, Jim Dear, Lady and Tramp returned home a little while later. Scamp and Angel hid, whilst they headed by. "Come on, Tramp!" Jim Dear called. "We'll find Scamp tomorrow."

"You didn't think they'd miss you? I can't believe you'd run away from a home like this." she said.

"No, you don't belong there. You're better than that, Scamp, and that's what I like about you." Angel said, as the two dogs walked off into the night.

The next day was the 4th of July, and celebrations were in full swing. Darling and Jim Dear met Aunt Sarah for their picnic.

But he hadn't - Tramp soon found him.

"That's how it is out here on the streets." Scamp said to his dad. "But then, you know all about that, don't you? You make the rules, Dad, but you didn't have to follow them when you were my age. Is that why you didn't tell me you were a street dog?"

Suddenly, Buster and the other Junkyard Dogs found them, and almost immediately, Tramp recognized Buster. "I see you haven't changed a bit." "So here we are again," Buster said, "Before you turned your back on everything that makes a dog a dog." "He says you walked out on him." Scamp told his dad. Tramp knew he couldn't lie to his own son. "After I met your mother, I guess Buster just got jealous." "You ditched me!" Buster snapped. "I fell in love!" Tramp protested. "You made your choice!" Buster angrily retorted, before glancing to Scamp. "Now, it's his turn to choose."

--

Buster wanted Scamp to still be a junkyard dog, but Tramp wasn't so keen on the idea. "You don't know what he's really like, son. You're coming home. You don't belong here." "You hear that kid?" Buster laughed mockingly. "Daddy's telli' ya what to do again, and he's leading you back to a life on the chain. I'm offerin' you freedom. Poor Scamp didn't know which one to believe!

Scamp looked everywhere for Angel, but he had no luck. "Great." he sighed. "I got everything I ever wanted, and it stinks." And it was just about to stink even more, for at that moment, who should appear but the dogcatcher! Scamp took off like a rocket, but he didn't get very far before the dogcatcher captured him! "Well, lookee here; no collar! It's a one-way trip to the pound for you!" Scamp was bundled into the truck, and taken to the pound. Scamp felt foolish for leaving his own family for a selfish mongrel like Buster. "How could I be so stupid?! Dad was right; Buster's nothing but trouble." Angel saw him, and realized he was in trouble, so she raced off to get help.

And, inspired by Scamp's speech, the other Junkyard Dogs decided to go find owners of their own.[Harp Sound, turn page]

The dogs returned home to Snob Hill, where Jim Dear, Darling, Lady, and her daughters ran out ot see Scamp back home. Jim Dear was relieved to see Scamp back home again. "Oh, Scamp, It's so good to have you back where you belong." But then, they noticed Angel standing by the gate. "Come on, Angel!" Scamp called. Angel nervously went over to Scamp's owners, and Junior thought she was so pretty. Darling thought they should adopt Angel, but Jim Dear wasn't so sure at first. "We've got enough dogs as it is." But seeing the dog's faces soon changed his mind. "Welcome to the family, Angel." So thanks to Scamp, Angel finally found her home, and thanks to Angel, Scamp soon realized that he truly belonged with a family, and it was a truly wonderful family; rules, baths and all!
