All Dogs go to Heaven (2019 Remake)/Transcript

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

Bloodhound - Thanks.

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

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

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

Charlie - But, how did you get out?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Basset Hound - Thank You.

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

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

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

Charlie - Not Everything.

Itchy - Huh?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Doberman - 50 to one.

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

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

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

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

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

Itchy - Yeah, what He said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Itchy' '- No, sir!

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

Itchy -That's right!

Charlie - I've eaten dirt.

Itchy - Big Yuck!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dogs - New York?!

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

Itchy - Reno!

Charlie - Macau!

Itchy '- Singapore!

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

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

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

Itchy and Charlie - (Singing) ''So tonight when we own this town... I've known hunger, I've known thirst. Lived the best, seen the worst. But, the only way I know. To finish best to finish first. So, watch out when you hear this sound. (Both of them howl.)  'Cause you can't keep a good dog, Nope! Can't keep a good, I say, You can't keep a good dog down...! Yeah! (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 2 - 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? 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.)

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

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. 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.

Charlie - Disband?! After all We did?

Carface - Yeah. and One of the customers told one of the workers, that You and that Dachshund 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?

(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 poisoned berries. Now, come on. (The shadows walk away as Itchy begins to scratch.)

Itchy - Ohh, This isn't happening. (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 This seems too good an offer. (Killer quietly gives Carface what He thought was hemlock berries are really Blueberries.)

Carface - Huh? Blueberries? Killer, What's wrong with you? I expected Blackberries, and You give Me Blueberries? (reacts.) Du-- Here You go. (Gives Charlie the blueberries as Charlie eats them, one at a time, then He gets 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 scary. (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 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 - Ohh... Charlie. I wish I had come to Help you sooner. (Watches the floats as He began to cry.)

Female Voice - Are You crying? (Itchy gets startled and sees a Female Cocker Spaniel.)

Itchy - Wha-- Don't startle Me! I'm in grieving. My best friend died a couple hours ago. I-- (Notices Her.) Oh. (Blushes.) Yes. I-- I'm Itchy.

Female Canine - I'm Bess. So, Why are You crying at a Mardi Gras Parade?

Itchy - I... I don’t want to talk about it.

Bess - So, You've come to the parade to grieve?

Itchy - Yes. But, Don't You have a home to go to, before the straycatchers take You?

Bess - Well, Despite My appearance, I'm a stray. are You?

Itchy - Yes. since I was born. but, since My folks died, My friend took Me in, We had quite a bit of fun.

Bess - He must be kindhearted.

Itchy - Well, He is a bit on the greedy side, but Yes. he’s kindhearted. His name was Charlie. (Echoes as the screen blacks out.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Charlie - Oh... How tragic.

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

Charlie - You can see color?

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

Charlie - Wha-- I have a sister?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Charlie - Deceased? What's that mean?

Annabelle - It means You passed away. (Long pause.) You're dead.

Charlie - WHAT?! DEAD?! (Turns back into a dog) As an "I'm .....I am....

Annabelle - Stone Cold, I'm afraid. (Turns back into a dog)

Charlie - I can't believe it! That two-faced double-crossing rat has murdered me! (despair) And I never had a chance to say goodbye to Itchy and all of my friends... Please, Annabelle, isn't there a way for me to return to earth to say good-bye to all of my friends, especially Itchy? Anything?

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

Charlie: But?

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

Charlie: OUCH! Hey!

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

Devil hound: HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!! Come on! Lemme have him! Send him down!

(Charlie impulsively wraps His arms around Annabelle.)

Annabelle - Not even I would wish that on My worst enemy. and for good measure, Charles. Tell me a lie. any lie.

Charlie: A lie? Uh....i'm always a bad dog? (The Collar turns pink, causing Him to feel some pain.)

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

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

Annabelle - Ha ha ha. You didn't really do that. but, that will happen when You do a bad deed. but to make the pain go away, do a good deed.

Charlie: So...you're telling me...that I must do the right thing to make the pain go away? Ok...um....What I really wish for....is that cats and dogs are to be good friends. (The Collar turns pink again)

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

Chapter 4 - Charlie's Feline Friend
(outside the casino, a cat is quietly searching for food, when a thump is heard.)

Cat: Huh? what's that? (sees a garbage can rise from the water then Charlie breaks out of it, spooking the cat.) GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! (Goes to run but twists His ankle.) Ouch! (Annabelle rises from the water as well.)

Annabelle - Charlie why’d You bring me here with You?!

Charlie: I can't do this alone.

Annabelle - So, You pulled Me to the world of the living as your way of showing Me— (Notices the cat.) Ah! Tasty cat! (Goes to get the cat, but, Charlie restrains Her.)

Charlie: No, Annabelle! I don't think that is one of the good deeds. (A part of His collar turns gold, much to Charlie's notice.)

Cat - Don’t come any closer! I was only looking for food! (Annabelle calms down)

Charlie: Hey easy, easy there, little guy. We're not going to eat ya.

Cat - I-- really?

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

Cat - Nice to meet You. I'm Tabasco.

Charlie: Nice to meet you

Tabasco - And who's your girlfriend? (points at Annabelle)

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

Tabasco: Oh, that? It means skinny or slim or--ow! My ankle...

Annabelle - ugh. I can’t believe you stopped Me from eating that feline. (Notices A gold spot on Charlie’s collar.) But, I guess it was a good thing you did.

Charlie - Do You want to stay somewhere?

Tabasco - Actually, I've been looking for My girlfriend for 4 days, and I can't rest.

Charlie: Ok then, let's go find her together.

Annabelle - Charles, Tabby, or Tabbing. or whoever He is, needs some rest. I mean, He needs some rest. And He can’t get there with his wrist twisted.

Tabasco - Hmm. Good point. (Charlie then picks up the cat and they went on to Don's Auto Wreckers, where he and Itchy lives. Inside a wood 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) A GHOST! I'm being haunted by a ghost of Charlie Barkin!!!!! Get back! All of you! Don't you all 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: (plucks a flea off him and puts it on Itchy's nose to show him) And do ghosts have fleas?

Itchy - Well, not really. Wait. Charlie! It IS You! You’re not dead! Ha ha ha ha! Uh... Charlie, who are those two?

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

Itchy - So, they saved you from drowning in that bog?

Charlie - Well, actually-- (Sees Annabelle shake Her head.) Annabelle will explain.

Annabelle: Right. Sir, some time after Charlie was dumped in the bog, I came by to help Him out. but... after Charlie and I resurfaced, We sort of spooked Tabasco, Who was looking for food and His missing girlfriend.

Charlie: Right.....and that double crossing rat tried to kill me... by "rat" I mean Carface. and we are going find a way to make him pay for this!

Itchy - and how will you do that? Report the incident to a police dog?

Charlie - Not likely.

Itchy: And how do you think we should do that?

Charlie - Well, if I know Carface, He’ll never get enough cash, and he’ll never stop. I’ll make him pay. And guys, he's got something up his sleeves, and when we find out what it is; he's dead meat! We'll ruin him, make him suffer slow....and he will soon be begging for mercy!

Itchy:  I'm begging alright....that we must leave immediately! I'm sure Bess wouldn't mind coming along.

Charlie - Who?

Itchy - Bess. I met Her at the--

Charlie - You had a girlfriend? I doubt She’s a dachshund like You.

Itchy - Of course not. She’s a stray, like Me. And... You won’t mind her staying, do You?

Annabelle - um, if I could speak, vengeance is not something I would condone.

Tabasco - what about My beloved Praline?

Dogs - Who?

Tabasco: My beloved girlfriend. Praline is her name. a beautiful blue feline, with the sweetest voice.

Charlie: We'll find a way save her, Tabasco. I promise.

Itchy - Charlie, you got that evil look In your eyes.

Charlie: What do you expect when a backstabbing monster tried to murder me?!

Itchy: Oh! That reminds me; Carface has a monster in his basement, just as he's got muscular thugs with daggers--

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

Itchy: Boss....they feed it!

Tabasco - they feed it what? What?!

Itchy: A MONSTER! I SAID HE HAD A MONSTER!!!

All: Monster?

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

Chapter 5 - Inside the Vents...
(A scene slidecuts to Charlie, Tabasco, Annabelle, and a scared Itchy breaking into Carface's place)

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.

(Charlie finally opens the air vent door.)

Charlie: There now....(to Annabelle) Ladies first.

Annabelle: (smiles) Well, at least he has some polite manners. (Goes through the ventilation system.)

Tabasco (To Charlie and Itchy) - and you two look away until She’s fully inside.

Charlie - Look Away? And what's wrong with making sure--

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

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: You're welcome. (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 Tabasco's girlfriend 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 thiough he has a twisted ankle?

Charlie: So we can find what his girlfriend 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. Charlie jumps down and covers the cat's mouth.)

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

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

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

Girl Cat - Quiet, everyone! Quiet! (The cats quiet down.)

Tabasco - That voice. Praline, is that you? (The screen goes to Cage 18, containing a blue cat with a slightly bigger stomach)

Praline: Tabasco! My darling!

Tabasco - I'm glad You're safe.

Dog Guard (From outside the room) - They're at it again? (Charlie goes in the vent.)

Praline - Tabasco, Hide!

Tabasco - Ok. (To Charlie and the others) You three go on ahead. I'll free Praline and the others as soon as I can.

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?

Chapter 6 - 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 and Annabelle both grabbed them, 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: And that was US who grabbed you!

Itchy: (flails around) WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU TWO 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 hands 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 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 going to have kittens in a few days? How sweet.

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 tell the guards not to feed Number 18.

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 the bet. I got an idea, let's free her and rescue her.

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

Annabelle - Ohh... If I had known how cruel Your former friend was, I'd really give Him the punishment He deserves.

(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 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.)

Tabasco - Praline, What do You say— (Notices Praline’s stomach.) Praline, are you?

Praline:  (smiles) We are expecting....kittens. I don’t know how many, but, I’m looking forward to it. Are you? (Sees Tabasco crying tears of joy)

Tabasco: I can't believe it...... (happily, but quietly) WE'RE GONNA BE PARENTS!!!!

Praline - I know, right?

Cat - Praline, Tabasco, Let's go.

Tabasco - Ok. We’re coming. (They Go in the vent as Praline goes in carefully) Praline, I know a place where you can rest. Of course, You might not like it.

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: No, that would be a bad deed. We are more like rescuing her. 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 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?

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

Annabelle - An Orphan?

Anne Marie - I only wish #18 would be able to have Her kittens, but the way things will go, She'll starve and Her kittens will never be born.

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

Charlie: They're actually going with us....so about you stay with us too, uh...what's your name?

Itchy - Wait, Wait, Charlie. The Junkyard isn't somewhere for a little girl to be in. much less in such a shoddy place. 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 - What's with the door to the Cats?!

Charlie - Let's go. (They exit through the vents as a part of Charlie's collar turns gold. Annabelle sees it too)

Annabelle - (Thinking) Just nine more. and He'll be able to return.

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

Carface: WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE CAT CAGE ROOM DOOR IS BLOCKED?!?!?! Then get a blowtorch to get in!

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

Carface - If the door's blocked, We can't have any cat races, meaning I won't get any money! and that makes Me red! Red as Fire! Morons! I'M SURROUNDED BY MORONS!!!!!! (After the dog guards use the blowtorch to break in the room, Carface goes in and sees all the cages empty.) 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.

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

Killer: But Boss, you see, the thing--

Carface: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!! (Killer panics and falls over a few times, then exits the room. the screen irises out.)

Chapter 7 - Homes for the Race Cats
(The Scene changes to morning, where Charlie and the others are at Jackson Square with a big horde of cats.)

Charlie - I don’t understand why Praline and Tabasco didn’t want to come along.

Anne Marie - Well, Praline needed some rest and food.

Charlie: Oh, right. Of course.

Itchy - you said it. I mean, Jackson Square is where most cats go at night. That should put a stop to those cat races.

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. (A Part of His collar turns gold.) Annabelle, What was that?

Annabelle: It means you are getting good at these good deed so far, and two of them were difficult.

Charlie: Really? Doesn't seem difficult to me.

Annabelle - not many dogs, Not even a German Shepherd like You would be friends with a cat. You also saved said cat from getting hurt from another dog-- that's me. Now, where do You suggest?

Anne Marie - Lots of Cats go to Jackson Square.

Charlie - Yeah. Wait. 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 isn't at a home as of yet.

Anne Marie - Charlie, Praline, or Racer 18 as She was called. You probably didn't know Praline is going to be a Mom.

Charlie - But, that doesn't explain-- Wait. Praline is going to have kittens of Her own?

Annabelle - Ohh... How touching.

Itchy - And that also means Tabasco is going to be a Dad.

Charlie - Sigh. I guess Those two will be staying for a few days?

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

Charlie - I didn't say that. Sigh. Fine, They can stay until Their kittens are born. The junkyard isn't a hotel.

Chapter 8 - 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, that way Their kittens will be happy and healthy. And I don't think Tabasco would want to miss the moment His future kittens being born. I mean, 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 looks at Charlie's collar, but nothing happens.)

Annabelle - So... She's the reason You left home?

Charlie - Some things are best left unsaid. Besides, We got a big day tomorrow.

Anne Marie - (Annabelle places Her paw on Charlie's forehead, and after a few seconds, She falls backwards as Anne Marie catches Her.)

Anne Marie - You alright?

Annabelle - I'm... I'm fine. But for now, Let's go to sleep.

Charlie - You said it. Got a big day tomorrow. (He and Itchy exit the 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.

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. and that's not the life a little girl wants.

Itchy - What?

Charlie - besides, I'm going to start a 12-day plan, which involves Me getting back at Carface. and Tomorrow, We start at the Fairgrounds Racetrack's horse races. We'll get some loose change, and after that, We'll turn it into a fortune.

Anne Marie - Horses?

Charlie - Ohh... You're still awake? (To Itchy) Good night, Itchy. but We get up at 7 AM.

Itchy - 7 AM. OK. (Goes to the Building and sees Tabasco and Praline asleep.) Hmm. If Charlie only knew how long until She has kittens... (Walks off and looks at the moon) I kind of wonder, how did Charlie survive? (He hears a door open.) Huh? Tabasco?

Tabasco - Yeah. Praline’s asleep, and I’ll watch over Her, while You get some sleep inside.

Itchy - Wha? You trust Me?

Tabasco - Of course, I trust You. I mean, it is your home. (Itchy Walks Inside as the screen zooms out) So... how long have You known Charlie?

Itchy - Over a year Ago. We had quite a lot of fun. Digging holes, chewing bones, singing and dancing.

Tabasco - Wow. He must be quite an influence on You.

Itchy - On the contrary, Charlie’s got quite a nasty streak, but He‘s quite a great friend.

Praline - Tabasco, Itchy... Do you mind?

Tabasco - Oh! I‘m— I’m sorry. (The screen blacks out)

Chapter 9 - 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 - Charles, absconding coins from the park fountains is bad enough, but, sneaking inside the stables, just to have the girl ask which horse will win, You'll just run the risk of being caught.

Charlie - Hey, Luck favors the prepared. (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 understand the language of horses. Those Horses have it made. Homes of their own, They get food anytime they want. unlike Cats and Dogs who don't get much. (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, "Us Horses don't have it easy as You think. besides, anytime any of Us breaks any leg, It's curtains". How cruel. just as cruel as Carface.

Charlie - What? But, He tried to kill Me. He never let You go outside, refused to give You a proper bed. And besides, without some loose change, We won't get anywhere with helping the poor.

Anne Marie - Like Robin Hood.

Charlie - Yeah.

Itchy - But, That's Fiction--

Charlie - As a matter of fact, sometimes, You'll have to make some hard decisions. and maybe You'll be rewarded with a cut of Money, some new clothes, other things that can satisfy You.

Anne Marie - Parents to adopt Me?

Charlie - Correct. (A part of Charlie's collar turns silver as Anne Marie approaches the horses.) Huh? It's silver?

Annabelle - You know, I'm surprised You're not feeling pain. but if You make a promise to a human, It will be silver. Only after fulfilling said promise, Then, it will turn gold.

Anne Marie - So, Which of You think will win the race in less than an hour? (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 50 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?

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.

Annabelle - Charles, It's going to end badly.

Charlie - It will. If You don't have a disguise. And one stand will have a factor that will let Us bet.

Itchy - perhaps, But people will get wise.

Charlie - Like I said, don’t worry.

Chapter 10 - 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 least 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 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. But, have you wanted to have puppies of your own?

Itchy - Perhaps. But, don’cha think We had enough? Carface’s casino isn’t going well since Charlie’s place opened. The second Carface realizes--

Charlie - Itch, this is a business, not a game. In fact— (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. And cheating is never right!

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.

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

Itchy - Charlie, I don’t understand. We have a business, now. We need to keep it afloat.

Charlie - Itch, Only after Carface’s Casino is shut down, then We can give Anne Marie a home. So long as We do it within the next three days.

Itchy - Why three days?

Charlie - Just humor me, alright?

Itchy - Sigh. If you say so... (He sees Tabasco coming in.) Tabasco? Why are You--? (Tabasco whispers in Itchy's ear.) Really? Ok. (Tabasco leaves the place) Charlie, I'll see to Tabasco and Praline. (Leaves the place)

Charlie - Itchy, We got a business to tend to. We can Be Under-- (Sighs.) First, Anne Marie wants to leave, then Itchy runs off, what next? Hmm. Well, I got less than three days left...

Chapter 11 - Tabasco and Praline's Newborn Kittens
(Outside the Shed, Tabasco is about to open the door as Itchy follows.)

Tabasco - OK. Itchy. (Opens the door to reveal a sleeping Praline tending to Her five kittens making Itchy cry.) Oh, and try to be more than five feet away, Praline might be tired, but Her maternal instincts will try to keep anyone threatening away Her kittens. Last night, an unshaven canine got in and Praline hissed and clawed Him in the face. So, try to keep away from Her.

Itchy - (Quietly) Got it, Tab. have You thought about names for those little guys?

Tabasco - Itchy, Not all of them are male. well, Two of them are. and... I'm sure Charlie will say "No", but, Praline would like to stay for 10 more days.

Itchy - 10 Days?

Tabasco - Well, Kittens are born blind until They are 10 days old.

Itchy - Well, I don't mind you staying ten years here. but, a Junkyard with a neighborhood of dogs, isn't an ideal place for a family of cats. but, I'll find You a home for Your family Tabasco, somehow.

Chapter 13 - Helping the Poor Puppies
(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? Don’t forget, She broke Your heart.

Charlie - When I was very young. (they go inside the church, and up a staircase. Once at the top floor, They see a rough collie and a slew of puppies, all 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 regretted 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. 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.) Charlie, are they your kids?

Charlie - I wish. Of course, I wouldn't mind getting married when I was-- Well, I can't say.

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 unusual collar. I see that some of it is gold. You found an owner at last?

Charlie - Well, No. some weird Things happened.

Flo - Weird Things?

Charlie - Well, I can't explain all the details.

Ending 2
(Charlie falls on the board.)

Itchy - Charlie, You and Killer saved Anne Marie. (Shakes Charlie's shoulder) Charlie? Charlie! Wake up! Charlie... (Sheds tears, as the other dogs. Annabelle walks away and disappears without being noticed. The scene changes to a pet cemetery at dawn, Where Charlie's Friends and Family are seen, along with Anne Marie and Itchy "A caption says a few days later...".)

Anne Marie - (Wipes Her tears from Her eyes) Everyone, I've only been with Charlie for almost two weeks, and I've seen the best and worst of Him. In the past, He had a good home, but He ran away and lived in this town, He never had much luck, and He wanted to live a rich life. but in Him, He has a good heart. which defines all brave dogs in the past. And... I'll miss Him terribly.

Itchy - We all will, Anne Marie. We all will. (The canine mourners leave, as Anne Marie and Itchy stayed. Then, They see Charlie and Annabelle's spirits)

Anne Marie - Charlie...?

Itchy - Huh? (She then sees Charlie and Annabelle's spirits as does Itchy.) Charlie?

Charlie - That's My name, don't wear it out. Oh, don't worry. I'm fine.

Itchy - Charlie?

Charlie - Yeah, Old friend?

Itchy - Um... Charlie's place is booming with business, but, It's not the same without You.

Charlie - Well, It's understandable. I wanted to give a proper goodbye, but I didn't want My friends and family to run away in terror. Itchy? as promised, Charlie's place is all Yours. You can do what You want with it. (Itchy sheds tears.) And Anne Marie?

Anne Marie - Yes?

Charlie - I know Tabasco and His family are living with You and Your parents. You'll watch over them, right?

Anne Marie - Oh, don't worry.

Charlie - Well, That's some good news.

Annabelle - Charlie, It's time.

Anne Marie - Charlie, When will I see You again?

Charlie - Well, I don't know. Probably Sooner than, when You might expect it. So long. (He disappears as does Annabelle. then Itchy with Anne Marie look at the sky.)
