( Cat laughs )

FEAST YOUR EYES, DOG.

MY FLY-CYCLE IS SURE TO WIN FIRST PRIZE

AT THIS YEAR'S INVENTION CONVENTION.

HMM, SURE IS A BEAUTY, CAT.

YEAH. NOW, WHEN I SAY "GO"

GENTLY TURN THAT LARGE KNOB TO THE LEFT.

OKAY, AND... GO.

OOH... HMM... MM-HMM.

HMM... EENY, MEENY, MINEY...

LEFTY.

( whirring )

YEOW...!

( screaming, thud, groan )

HEY, EINSTEIN.

YOU MAKING A FLYING MACHINE

OR, UH, JUST A RACKET?

DOG HERE DOESN'T KNOW HIS LEFT FROM HIS RIGHT

DO YOU, DOG?

( laughs )

I GUESS NOT.

SHEESH, MUST BE ROUGH ON A GENIUS LIKE YOU, CAT.

YOU KNOW, BEING ATTACHED TO SUCH AN INFERIOR INTELLECT AND ALL.

OH, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW, WINSLOW.

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW.

IF ONLY THERE WAS SOME WAY...

LOOK, DOG, I GOT YOU A PRESENT.

OH, BOY!

MOVIES!

NOT MOVIES, EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS

TO STIMULATE YOUR BRAIN AND, AND IMPROVE YOUR MIND.

WHY WOULD I WANT TO IMPROVE MY MIND, CAT?

SO THAT I DON'T LOSE MINE.

WE'LL START SLOW.

YOUR BRAIN ISN'T USED TO DOING ANY HEAVY LIFTING.

Narrator: How to Learn Everything.

Thinking is fun.

It makes the brain happy.

HI, HAPPY BRAIN.

Now, let's sharpen up those math skills.

If a billy goat takes a bus heading west

at four miles an hour...

Mt. Everest is the world's tallest mountain...

( snoring... )

Now, let's talk about art...

DON'T PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD, DOG.

I'M NOT PLAYING, CAT.

I'M CONSTRUCTING A REPLICA OF THE GREAT PYRAMID.

I LEARNED ALL ABOUT IT FROM THOSE TAPES.

DOG, I AM IMPRESSED!

AND A LITTLE TURN TO THE RIGHT.

EXCELLENT, DOG.

NOW, WOULD YOU MIND HANDING ME A...

SCREWDRIVER? I'D SUGGEST A PHILLIPS HEAD

INVENTED BY JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIMER PHILLIPS IN 1732.

( chuckles )

1732.

( beeping )

I MUST SAY, DOG.

THIS HAS BEEN A GLORIOUS DAY.

YOU KNOW, I LIKE YOU SMARTER.

ME TOO, CAT.

MAYBE SOMEDAY, I'LL BE AS SMART AS YOU.

( laughs )

NO, YOU WON'T.

IF CAT'S HAPPY NOW

JUST WAIT UNTIL I GET EVEN SMARTER IN THE BRAIN.

( snoring )

Let's tackle some geometry problems.

A rectangle is made up of four 90-degree angles.

Therefore...

TOO EASY! GET TO THE HARD STUFF.

A body at rest tends to stay at rest.

A body in motion tends to stay in motion.

A dog in motion tends to crash...

The Great Wall of China is a great wall...

( narration speeds up ): The Great Gatsby is a heck of a nice Gatsby...

In the autumn... spring... flowers...

( narration going very fast )

( yawns )

( shrieks )

D-DOG?

YOU, YOU, YOU STARTLED ME.

SORRY, CAT.

CAT: A DOMESTICATED FELINE

FROM THE LATIN FELINIUS CATICUS.

WHAT?

OH, YEAH.

UM... DID YOU GET A HAIRCUT OR SOMETHING?

MY MIND HAS BEEN EXPANDED, CAT.

I WATCHED ALL 632 TAPES SEVEN TIMES.

OH, WHAT A MORNING.

I'VE DISCOVERED A NEW COMET, I'VE SCULPTED

CONDUCTED AN EXPERIMENT

ON CONTAINED NUCLEAR FISSION.

COME, FELINIUS.

LET ME SHOW YOU HOW I'VE IMPROVED UPON YOUR FLY-CYCLE.

YOU'VE COMPLETELY COVERED UP

THE PEDALS AND THE WINGS!

DON'T YOU SEE?

WITH MY NEWLY IMPLEMENTED DESIGN CHANGES

THEY'RE REALLY NOT NECESSARY.

( laughs )

LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE THE ONE

WHO'S NOT NECESSARY, CAT.

OH, DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

I, I'M STILL THE BRAINS BEHIND THIS OPERATION.

OH, FELINIUS.

WOULD YOU MIND HANDING ME

A METRIC SOCKET WRENCH PLEASE?

( confused ): DOH, UM, SOCKET WRENCH...

METE... METTER...

OH, WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR AGAIN?

HEY, I GET IT.

DOG'S GOT A BRAIN VACUUM GOING.

HE'S SUCKING KNOWLEDGE FROM EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING YOUSE.

OH, DON'T BE RIDICUL... ( gasps )

( thumping )

YOU'RE RIGHT.

THE SMARTER HE GETS, THE DUMBER I'M GET!

MUST GET SMART AGAIN, MUST GET SMART AGAIN.

MUST GET...

( grunting )

( crying ): IT DOESN'T FIT...

CONGRATULATIONS, CAT.

TELL US HOW YOUR MARVELOUS INVENTION WORKS.

IT WORKS GOOD, HUH?

IT FLIES WITH FASTNESS OF BEING IN THE AIR.

PART WHEN IT GOES "WHOO..."

( imitating airplane )

ALLOW ME, FELINIUS.

CHOCOLATE?

QUITE SO.

THE BICYCLUS STRATUSPHERUS

IS AN AERONAUTICALLY SOUND UPPER-ALTITUDE VEHICLE

WHICH USES ATOMIC FUEL IN A HYDRAULICAL SYSTEM

TO ATTAIN MAXIMUM VELOCITY.

AND I LOVE IT!

ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?

UM... I HAVE CHOCOLATE!

( crowd laughing )

( laughter echoing... )

WHAT FUNNY WAS LAUGHING?

YOU THINK I SMART NOT?

I'M SMART.

I'M SM... OOH...

BIG, RED, SHINY BUTTON.

( beeping... )

NO, NO, FELINE.

DO NOT ENGAGE THAT BUTTON.

( whir, bang )

I LOVE IT!

( Dog screaming, Cat gibbering... )

( brakes squeal )

( Cat groaning )

THEY ALL GO HA-HA WITH LAUGHING AT ME.

MAKING FUN.

THEY MAKE ME SPILL MY ICE CREAM ALL GONE.

WELL, BE THAT AS IT MAY

YOUR ACTIONS WERE RASH AND INJUDICIOUS.

ONE REALLY SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH TECHNOLOGY

BEYOND ONE'S COMPREHENSION.

WHA...? HUH?

NEVER MIND.

( sighs ) YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU, YOU DID...

DID THIS TO ME, BOW-WOW PERSON.

YOU MAKE THE SMART GO BYE-BYE.

I WANT SOME MORE SMART BACK.

GIVE ME BACK SMARTS.

( grunting )

CIRCUMFERENCE EQUALS PI, RADIUS SQUARED.

( laughs )

WHO'S THE SMART ONE NOW?

HEY, I USING THAT BRAINY.

OH, NO, YOU... OOH!

THE CARTESIAN PRINCIPLE STATES, "I THINK, THEREFORE I AM."

KNOWLEDGE IS MINE, FELINE!

AH! E EQUALS...

MC SQUARED.

( thumping, groaning and yelling... )

DOG, I... I THINK WE'RE BACK TO NORMAL.

YEAH, I GUESS WE ARE, FELINIUS-- I MEAN, CAT.

( laughing ): OH, COME HERE, YOU.

FROM NOW ON, I'LL HANDLE THE BRAIN WORK, PAL.

I'M GLAD, CAT, 'CAUSE SOMEBODY'S GOT TO FLY THIS THING.

RIGHT.

UH-OH.

( shrieking... )

WHA... OH, YOU SEE THAT, DOG, LOOK.

MY ORIGINAL INVENTION WORKS.

YOU'RE A GENIUS, CAT.

OH, AIN'T IT THE TRUTH. ( laughs )

( laughs ) SO, HOW DOES IT LAND?

( laughs ) WELL, THAT'S... LAND?

KEEP PEDALING, DOG.

JUST KEEP PEDALING.

( whimpering )

OH, MY CALVES.

( gasping and wheezing )

JUST KEEP... JUST KEEP PEDALING!

( Greasers shouting... )

( panting )

( scream echoing... )

WELL, LOOK WHAT THE DOG DRAGGED IN.

HI, WINSLOW.

HAVING A LITTLE FUN WITH THE GREASERS?

THEY HAD FUN.

WE HAD PAIN.

WELL, FISH GOT TO SWIM, BIRDS GOT TO FLY

AND CATDOGS GOT TO GET POUNDED BY GREASERS.

( panting, groaning )

I'M AT THE END OF MY ROPE.

HERE, TAKE A LOAD OFF YOUR PAWS.

THANK YOU, WINSLOW.

( loud crash )

Winslow: DON'T MENTION IT.

EVEN IN OUR OWN HOUSE WE HAVE TO SUFFER.

THAT'S IT!

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

I AM DOWN WITH THAT, EL GATO.

RISE AND SHINE, CATDOG.

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY OF MISERY AND TORMENT.

( evil laugh )

CATDOG?

CATDOG?

CATDOG.

CATDOG.

CATDOG.

CATDOG?

CATDOG! CATDOG!

LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY FLEW THE COOP.

Announcer: This is KRAT, music for the refined rodent.

( doorbell rings )

I TOLD YOU BEFORE, I DON'T WANT TO BUY ANY COOKIES.

OH, IT'S THE GREASY ONES.

HEY, CAN CATBUTT COME OUT AND RUN AWAY FROM US PLEASE?

SHEESH, THEY AIN'T BEEN HERE FOR TWO WEEKS.

THEY'RE HISTORY, GONESVILLE, VAMOOSE.

CATDOG HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, DON'T YOU?

Cliff: PARTY!

( all laughing )

HEY.

OOH-OOH.

( all laughing )

PARTY.

DID SOMEBODY SAY PARTY?

I CAN PARTY.

I LIVE TO PARTY.

WHY ARE WE PARTYING, HUH?

NO MORE CATBUTT.

HERE'S TO OUR DEARLY DEPARTED

( laughs )... FRIEND.

( laughter )

FRIEND.

WELL, YOUSE COULD THANK ME

FOR FINALLY GETTING RID OF THE FREAK-MEISTER.

EXCUSE ME?

UH, WHO NAILED CAT WITH THE WATER BALLOONS, HUH?

HEY, THEY WAS SPIT BALLOONS

AND IT WAS MY SPIT...

WHICH I FOUND IN MY MOUTH.

( Greasers arguing )

( loud whistle )

GENTLEMEN...

( growls )

AND LADY.

WE ALL KNOW I WAS THE ONE WHO GOT RID OF THAT PEST.

I MEAN, UH... UH... AFTER YOU DID THE PRELIMINARY WORK.

SO LET'S QUIT ARGUING AND START CELEBRATING.

HEY, THE RAT'S RIGHT.

CATBUTT'S GONE, AND THAT'S GOOD.

HEY, REMEMBER THE TIME WE TRIED

TO SEE HOW FAR CATDOG WOULD STRETCH?

REMEMBER?

I DO. I WAS THERE.

OKAY, I GOT HIM.

I'M READY.

OKAY, LET HIM GO ON THREE.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

( screaming )

YOUR BUDDY'S ON HIS WAY.

THAT WAS GREAT, CLIFF.

LET'S DO IT AGAIN.

FARTHER, FASTER, HARDER.

I GOT A GOOD ONE.

HEY, ONCE I... ONCE I FIXED CATDOG'S ALARM CLOCK.

( both snoring )

( clock rings )

( rings again )

( ringing... )

( clang, crashing )

( rumbling )

( evil laugh )

( both scream )

( all laugh )

THEY DIDN'T COME DOWN FOR A WEEK!

( all laugh )

HEY, HEY, I GOT A STORY.

UH, REMEMBER, UH, THE TIME...

AND, UH, WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO... I MEAN... NO.

OKAY, UM, HAD... UH, OH YEAH.

THEY DID SOMETHING FUNNY TO THE...

WHO WAS WE TALKING ABOUT?

GREAT STORY, SHAKESPEARE.

UH, THANKS.

Winslow: REMEMBER THAT TIME WITH THE THING AND THE OTHER THING?

THOSE WERE GREAT TIMES.

( all laughing )

NOW, THEMS ARE GONE.

HEY, WE WON'T HAVE CATDOG TO KICK AROUND ANYMORE.

( all cheer )

( cheering stops )

( all sigh )

THOSE DAYS ARE GONE.

GOOD-BYE, SWEET PUP.

( crying )

IT'S YOUR FAULT!

WHY'D YOU CHASE 'EM AWAY, HUH?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU THREW THE BALLOON!

UH, BUT MY SPIT WAS IN THEM.

UH... OOPS.

( all arguing )

NO!

YES!

Winslow: IT WAS EVERYBODY'S FAULT.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE HAD IN CATDOG.

AH, NOTHING LIKE A GOOD ARTICHOKE FESTIVAL

TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.

( talking, crying... )

SOUNDS LIKE A PARTY, CAT.

ONE THAT'S NOT GOING TOO WELL.

( crying )

( strumming guitar slowly )

( crying ): ♪ ONE FINE DAY WITH A WHIMPER AND A TEAR ♪

♪ A BELOVED CATDOG RAN AWAY FROM HERE ♪

♪ OUR EYES ARE MOIST, THEY'RE DOWNRIGHT SOGGY ♪

♪ WITHOUT OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE CATDOG ♪

All: ♪ CATDOG... CATDOG...

♪ CATDOG... CATDOG...

♪ LIFE AIN'T WORTH LIVING WITHOUT CATDOG. ♪

( sobbing )

THEY WAS THE GREATEST.

IF I COULD JUST SNIFF DOG ONE MORE TIME.

( wailing )

I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO SEE THEIR BRIGHT, SHINY FACES.

THEY LOVE US.

THEY, THEY REALLY LOVE US.

HI-HO DIGGITY!

I KNEW IT ALL THE TIME.
