The Pride of Miss Georgette/Transcript

Oliver and Company: The Series

The Pride of Miss Georgette

(Setting: The Foxworth house.)

(Georgette is lounging on her bed, staring at a photograph of Rex.)

Georgette: Rex, my gorgeous prince. My movie star. Every night I think about you...

(Oliver, Dodger and Tess peek round the corner, their heads appearing one after another, Scooby-Doo style. They stumble into the room on top of each other. Georgette looks displeased.)

Georgette: Why am I not surprised to see you two ruffians in my private sanctuary? And who pray tell is that thing you've dragged along with you?

Tess: (miffed) I do have a name! I'm Dodger's mother.

Georgette: Regardless, I am a beautiful flower. I need to be watered every day.

Tess: Who knows? One day she might grow a brain.

Oliver: You're good.

(The three of them head downstairs. Georgette stares out of her window.)

Georgette: Oh Rex. Mock me as they will, but my love for you is forever.

(Downstairs, Oliver, Dodger and Tess are in the kitchen. Dodger and Tess exit through the open kitchen window. They jump over the garden fence and onto the pavement outside. Almost on cue, Rex approaches them.)

Rex: Hey Dodger. Hey...

Dodger: Rex, this is my mom, Tess. Tess, Rex. Also known as Georgette's old flame.

Rex: I can see you're still as snarky as ever. Is Georgette around?

Tess: She's in the house.

Dodger: Pining after you.

(They take off.)

(Setting: Central Park, later that evening.)

(Georgette and Rex are sitting by the Lake.)

Georgette: It was lovely of you to bring me here, Rex.

Rex: (shyly) Well, yeah. Uh...Georgette. I have something I need to ask.

Georgette: Of course! We can still talk to each other like grown-ups.

Rex: You see, there's a thing...

Georgette: And by "thing" you mean...?

Rex: I'm taking part in a dog show.

Georgette: And....?

Rex: Would you come to support me?

Georgette: I, I'm not sure...I...

Rex': Look, I know it sounds crazy, but...

Georgette: Can I just sleep on it...?

Rex: Just think about it for me, OK?

(Georgette nods.)

(Meanwhile, the gang are in the houseboat, sleeping. Georgette tiptoes down the steps as quietly as she can.)

Georgette: (to herself) You know I wouldn't usually come here of my own volition, but a poodle's gotta do what a poodle's gotta do.
