To Georgette With Love/Transcript

Oliver and Company: The Series

To Georgette with Love

(Starting scene:) Georgette is in her bedroom, admiring photographs of male dogs, her past boyfriends. She examines a photograph of Tito, and smiles it.

Georgette: (sighs) Tito, my beautiful Chihuahua prince. You are the one for me. No ocean is wide enough to separate us.

Dodger and Oliver enter from off-camera, amused.

Oliver: All she does is pine over Tito. Is that even healthy?

Dodger: Let's just be glad I'm not one of her boyfriends.

They both laugh. This hasn't gone unnoticed by Georgette.

Georgette: What are you two hoodlums doing in my boudoir? This is my private space, my sanctuary, my fortress of solitude, where I can escape from uncultured heathens like you!

Dodger and Oliver: Ooh!

The two take off out of the room. Dodger exits the house, where he is greeted by the rest of the gang.

Rita: Figured you'd be here. Have a good day?

Dodger: You bet! Somebody needs to put the Queen of the Poodles in her place.

Francis: Come old chap, Fagin's waiting for us, he's back from work.

Dodger: He's found work?

Rita: He got a job as a janitor at this school in the Bronx. Not much, but it's something.

The gang take off, while Dodger hangs back. He stares into the living room window and sees Georgette relaxing on the couch, with a male German shepherd, with a green shirt collar around his neck.

Georgette: Rex, you really are a charmer.

Rex: (chuckles) You are my precious desert flower, Georgette.

The two laugh, while Dodger continues to observe the spectacle.

Dodger: This is gonna be so juicy! (jumps down and takes off)

(Next scene:) The houseboat. Francis is watching a performance of Shakespeare on TV, while Tito is sitting on him. Einstein is resting. Dodger enters, with a devilish smile on his face. Fagin strokes his ears.

Fagin: Dodger, how are you, boy? (he strides off)

Rita: What took you so long?

Dodger: You won't believe what I just saw.

Francis: Well, Fagin's just picked up some food for us. Tell us over dinner.

Rita: He stopped over at Sonny's pizzeria.

Dodger: You can read me like a book! I love Sonny's.

The gang settle down to share their meal with Fagin.

Dodger: So, I went back to the Foxworth place...

Francis: Let me guess. You wanted to continue tormenting that haughty show-dog?

Dodger: Well...(breathes in) Long story short, Georgette's got a new boyfriend.

The gang are taken aback.

Einstein: What?

Rita: Please tell me this is a joke!

Dodger: Not joking. I saw it with my own eyes.

Tito looks shocked.

Tito: My girl, Georgette? Has another amante?

Dodger: Uh-huh. Name's Rex. He's a German Shepherd.

Tito: What? No! You're lying!

Francis: Sorry, Tito. You've been turned into a cuckold.

Dodger: I can see you need time to process this.

Tito faints.

Rita: Oh, boy. What do you plan on doing about this?

Dodger: Beats me. But it sounds like Tito's gonna have to do something about it.

(Next scene:) The next day, in Central Park. Georgette and Rex are talking. The park is slightly empty, save for a small group of people.

Rex: Georgette, your eyes shine like the sun, and you have a singing voice like a beautiful angel.

Georgette: You really know how to charm, Rex?

Dodger and Tito watch from the bushes.

Dodger: (to himself) And the Oscar for most pretentious attempts at flattery goes to....(imitates drum roll) Rex!

Tito: What does she see in him, Dodge?

Dodger shrugs.

Georgette: Rex, I could listen to you for--

She gets cut off when she notices Dodger and Tito come stumbling out of the bushes, one on top of the other. Georgette and Rex approach.

Georgette: (to Dodger) I should have figured I'd run into YOU at some point. (to Tito) Alonso, my love, it's not what it looks like!

Tito: Georgette, I...

Rex: I'll handle this, Georgette. You deserve better than that gutter-dweller. She only has eyes for the best of the best. Now, scram!

Dodger and Tito take off, with Tito giving Georgette one last look before he leaves.

(Next scene:) The houseboat, later that evening. Dodger is talking to Oliver, who listens intently. Tito is lounging on the armchair, moping. The rest of the gang look concerned.

Dodger: I'm really concerned for Tito, kid. All he does is mope around, thinking about Georgette. It isn't healthy.

Rita: (sarcastically) Wow, gold star.
