01x04 - Rosie, Oh! Rosie, Oh!

[bunniefuu]

What's the story, Wishbone?What's

this you're dreaming of such

big imagination?On

such a little path

What's the story, Wishbone?Do you

think it's worth a look?It

kind of seems familiar Like a

story from a book

Shake a leg now, Wishbone Let's

wag another tail

Sniffing out adventure With

Wishbone on the trail Come on,

Wishbone

What's the story in Wishbone?

What's the story in Wishbone?

What's the story in Wishbone?

What's the story in Wishbone?

Wait, no, wait. There's been a

big misunderstanding.

Listen, can we just stop and talk about

this for just a minute?Ohh If it's about

the flamingos, I can explain.

Wait, you don't understand. I'm too young

to go to prison. I never even learned how

to press a license plate. I can't even

play the harmonica. I wouldn't fit in. No

one's listening. Come on, boy.

Come on. There's been a big mistake.

In you go. What we have here is

failure to communicate.

Where'd you find this little guy?Swimming

in the duck pond at Jackson Park. A quick

dip. Is that a crime?No collar on the

dog. No owner around. No nothing.

Somebody will come looking for you,

fella. Don't worry. Why wait for that?I

can take myself home. We can forget this

whole thing ever happened. This

is so embarrassing.

A

vision. Ears like silk. An

ebony nose. Oh,

dog, thy name is beauty like the rose.

Hang on. Why am I talking funny?

Oh, how can I say what I feel?

I need special words for a face like

that. I need words with

withRhythm.

I need rhyme. I

need poetry. I

need Romeo and Juliet, written in



William Shakespeare. Mmm, Shakespeare

wrote some of the tenderest poetry you

ever tasted. Romeo and

Juliet is a play, so it's meant to be

performed by actors on a stage in front

of an audience. Backstage, the

actors prepare for another performance of

Shakespeare's popular play. Very few

people ever get to see the backstage. If

anybody asks, tell them you're with me.

The role of Romeo must be played by

an actor who can really chew on the

words. Somebody handsome,

witty, athletic, someone

with a definite star quality.

What can I say?Well, on with

the show!

The play takes place in Verona, Italy.

Romeo comes from the Montague family.

Juliet comes from the Capulet family.

Now, the Montagues and the Capulets

hate each other. They fight like...

Well, like cats and dogs.

Dog of the House of Montague moves me to

stand.

My sword, I say. Oh, Montague

is come. Come, villain Capulet,

come to me now. Let's

go. In the next scene, a

bunch of Montagues, including Romeo,

sneak into a Capulet party. If they get

caught, they're in big trouble.

Naturally, they go in disguise.

What do you think?Can you tell it's me?

OK, guys, when we get there, let me do

the talking. I can get into any party.

Watch this.

OK, everybody be cool. Hi,

we're with the band. You are welcome,

gentlemen. Some musicians

play. What'd I tell you?

I love this disguise. The food's good.

Tasty.

HuhPray tell is that?

Ohh Did my heart love till now?

Forswear its sight, For I ne'er

saw true beauty till this night.

She noticed me.

Here she comes. Make of something poetic.

If I profane with my unworthiest hand

this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this.

Hmm My lips, too blushing pilgrim, ready

stand, meh, to smooth that rough

touch with a gentle kiss. Good

pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much.

Which mannerly devotion shows in this?

Persenes have hands that Pilgrim's hands

do touch, and palm to palm is

holy Palmer's kiss. Madam,

your mother calls you.

Who is her mother?Her mother is the

lady of the house. Oh, the lady of the

Is she a Capulet?Uh oh,

I'm in trouble. Nurse.

Nurse. Who is that

gentleman?His name is Romeo.

And a Montague, the only son of your

great enemy. My

only love sprung from my only hate.

I'm a Montague. She's a Capulet. I'm a

Montague. She's a Capulet. I'm a

Montague. She's a Capulet. I'm a

Montague. I don't care. I'm in

love. Yes, I'm in love. I'm in love.

Everybody. Everybody. I'm in love. Oh,

love is exhausting. This is where we keep

all the strays we find on the streets. We

try real hard to find homes for them.

Otherwise, after two months, we put them

to sleep. What?Well, why can't

they keep living here?There's not enough

room. Eventually, we run out of space.

That's why we try so hard to find homes

for them.

Where's Spong?Where's Spong?Joe. Sir,

that's my dog. Are you sure?Where's this

collar?I always take it off him at night.

I guess I forgot to put it back on him

this morning. But I promise, he's mine.

You can call my mom to ask. All right,

let's get a leash to take him home. Not

necessary. Hi, pretty girl. Wow,

she likes me. She's so adorable.

Yeah, she is pretty adorable.

She is. I'd like to take you home with

me. Oh, Mr. Dunlap,

I really like this dog. Isn't she sweet?

Everybody around here calls her Rosie.

She's been here for quite a while. Well,

she be put to sleep?Well, we hope she's

adopted, but she's been here over a

month. Well, I'll take her. I'll take her

right now. You'll have to get permission

from your parents first. Would your dad

let you have a dog?If he saw this dog, he

couldn't say no. Come on,

Wishbone. No, wait. I'm a prisoner of

love. Don't set me free. Well, this story

has a happy ending. Happy ending, he

says. This isn't happy. It's It's a

disaster. It's important to keep that

collar with the tag on your dog. If he

should get lost without it, we have no

way of knowing if he belongs to anybody.

Yes, sir. Come on, Wishbone. Let's go

home. No, I just met the love of my

life. Bye-bye, Rosie. I'll be back for

you.

Ohh Don't you see?We belong together!

Can I go forward when my heart is here?

But soft, but life through yonder window

breaks. It is the east, and

Juliet is the sun.

Romeo. Romeo,

wherefore art thou Romeo?Deny thy

father, and refuse thy name.

Tis but thy name that is my enemy.

What's in a name?That which we call a

rose by any other word would smell is

sweet. Romeo,

doff thy name, and for thy name, which is

no part of thee, take all myself.

OK, take me. I'm yours.

Art thou not Romeo and a Montague?

How camest thou hither?Tell me, and

wherefore your orchard walls are high and

hard to climb, and the place death,

considering who thou art, if any of my

kinsmen find thee here. With love's light

wings did I o'er perch these walls.

Woo-hoo! For stoned limits cannot keep

love out. Therefore thy kinsmen are no

stop to me. Hmm

My faithful vow of love I

give to thee. My bounty

is as boundless as the sea. My love is

deep. The more I give to thee, the more I

have, for both are infinite.

Juliet?Juliet!

Anon, good nurse, stay but a little. I

will come again. I

think she likes me.

If that thy bent of love be honorable,By

purpose, marriage. Send me word tomorrow.

You can count on it. Madam,

come here. Good night. Good

night. Parting is such

sweet sorrow.

Yes, I'm gonna marry Juliet.

I gotta get back to Rosie. Thanks, Mrs.

Talbot. Rosie, Rosie,

Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie.

Hey, Sam. How was your day?Great. Come

on. I gotta say something. OK, OKThanks

for picking her up. Just a second, Sam.

Shall I pick her up tomorrow, Walter?

Yeah, that'd be great. Oh, could she stay

at your place for a while?I've got a late

appointment. No problem. OK.

Our class at the animal shelter today,

remember?You did. I forgot. That was

today, wasn't it?I found the perfect one

for us. HuhIsn't she cute?

You know we can't have a dog. We've

already talked about this, Sam. But, Dad,

she's just what I've always wanted. I

know she's the one. I wish I

could say yes, Sam. I really do. But it's

just not practical. But why does it

always have to be practical?Because dogs

require attention, sweetheart. Lots of

it. House training, walking, feeding,

cleaning. You're already a busy girl.

Dad, I know, and I'll do everything, I

promise. Sam, we're hardly ever here.

She'll spend all of her time at home

alone. At least she'd have a home. Sam,

what about your mother?Who takes care of

the dog when you go to stay with her?You

know she doesn't allow dogs in her house.

But, Dad, they'll put her to sleep. We

don't have much time. Dad, we've got to

do something. Sam, I'm

sorry. Look, maybe we can find her a home

with someone else, huh

Now hold still. You don't want to end up

at the pound again, do you?The pound. The

pound is a palace of love.

Oh, color. What's in a color?My love's

unleashed. No color can contain my

canine soul. This thing's coming

off.

Come on! No time to waste! Rosie,

I'm back!This guy looks familiar.

At last we meet again. Did you miss me?I

had some unfinished business at the duck

con. Oh, Rosie, what do you

say?Let's run away together.

Just the two of us.

When Romeo and Juliet meet again, they

get married in secret. Friar Lawrence

performs the ceremony.

Come, Come with me and we will make short

work. For by your leaves, you shall

not stay alone till Holy Church

incorporate two in one.

What's yours is mine, and what's mine

will always be yours. Nice arrangement,

huhHow about one

little kiss?Oh, Mr. Dunlap, I know

if my dad takes one look at Rosie, he'll

let me keep her. OK, I'll let you sign

her off for the afternoon, but you have

to have her back by 6. No problem.

Hi, Rosie. Hi. Wishbone. Sam.

What a surprise. OK, come on.

Wishbone and Rosie sitting in a tree.

K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Isn't Sam

lovely?OK, I'll go get my dad

and you guys stay here. Take

your time, Sam. No rush.

Yes, Rosie. We're

free. I'm alone.

Rosie. Hello.

Don't worry. She'll be safe in there.

Come on. Let's go someplace

romantic. Dad.

Welcome to Club Wanda.

Five o'clock, he's at Joe's house.

Where's phone, Rosie?Where's phone,

Rosie?Where are you?Mom, Mrs.

Talbot?Uh, in here. Mom, I've looked

everywhere. He's gone. Does he have

his collar on?Of course. Joe. Well,

are you sure?I'm positive. Joe.

What?How'd that get

there?Walter, come on in. Hi, Ellen. Sam

ready to go?Sam?Oh, well, I thought...

Joe, you did talk to Sam, didn't you?She

said her dad was gonna pick her up. Oh,

Walter, I'm so sorry. That's okay. I'll

check back at the house. Call if she

isn't there.

May I have this dance?

Rosie, where you going?Oh,

don't worry. It's just Wanda and the

cops. This dog runs wild in my

yard all the time. He belongs next door.

Now, I've never seen the other one, which

is why I called you. I'll take care of

it, man. Rosie, run for your life. I'll

run interference. Rosie.

Rosie! Hey, easy on the fur. Rosie, is

that you?Hey,

wait! Stop! You don't understand!

Oh, no. This your

dog?Yes, I'm afraid it is. Joe,

he's back! You really should keep a

collar on this fellow. I know. Thanks so

much for returning him. Yeah,

okay, Ellen. Missed you, too. Now put me

down. Ah

Oh, no. Hey, stop. My love

is in that truck. Hey,

come back. You don't understand.

A tragic separation. Oh, cruel

fate.

Right after Romeo and Juliet get married,

Romeo is banished from Verona. In the

following scene, Romeo and Juliet have to

say goodbye. 2 minutes, everyone. They

don't know when or if they'll see each

other again. Romeo, you're

on! Oh, by this count, I shall be much in

years ere I again behold my Romeo.

Farewell, my love. I'll think that we

shall ever meet again. I doubt it not.

Adieu. Adieu.

Till we meet again, my love.

Rosio, Rosio, Rosio.

Somebody want to get that?Hello.

HelloThank you. Yes. Oh, Walter, she's

not there. Is there any other place she

might have been?Oh, hi, Tim.

Oh, Walter, she just walked in.

Wishbone. Joe, is Rosie here?Rosie?

You knew you were supposed to go home

with Joe. Sweetheart, nobody knew

where you were. I mean, what if we had

called the police?Dad, I couldn't let him

put her to sleep. I just couldn't.

I thought maybe if you saw her, you'd

want her as much as I did. Now they're

really gonna put her to sleep.

Wait a minute, people. What are we just

standing around here for?Come on to

action. OK, we'll do it right this

time. I'll wear the leash. Let's go,

everybody. Need a little help with the

door, please.

Hey, Rosie, your wishbone has

returned. From now on, it's you and me

forever.

Rosie. Rosie?

She's gone. My love is

gone!

Oh. Oh, no.

Wishbone!

Wishbone, what are you doing?Oh, just

dying of a broken heart. What about you?

No, where's Rosie?Dad, what if they put

her to sleep?Sam, there's something I

meant to tell you. Mr. Dunlap, where's

Rosie?She wasn't with the sleep, was she?

Please say no. Oh, no, no, Sam. She was

adopted. The family came in and took her

home a few minutes ago. Are you sure?

Yes.

Sam, I'm sorry. I know how much you

liked Rosie. I'm

glad she's okay. I mean, she really

needed a good home.

Sam. I know you wanted a dog of your own,

but maybe you could help out here at the

shelter. You know, there are a lot of

animals that could use some love and

attention. That's for sure. We always

need volunteers to play with the animals,

walk them, pet them. I think I'd like

that. We'll sign you up, Sam.

Let's go, boy. You go ahead. I'll

catch up. I'm having a fairly dramatic

moment. Just a few more minutes to

grieve, please.

This is the part of the play where the

love story turns into a tragedy.

Romeo and Juliet's love is doomed by the

hatred between their two families. Ooh,

thank you. At the end of the

play, Romeo and Juliet

die together. This is a very dramatic

scene. Excuse me,

I got to go play dead.

Romeo, their dead,

was husband to that Juliet,

and she, their dead, was Romeo's

faithful wife.

I married them. in hopes that their

alliance would turn your household's

hatred to pure love.

See what a scourge is laid upon your hate

that heaven find means to k*ll your

joys with love. Oh, Brother Montague,

come, give me thy

hand.

Go hence and talk more of these

sad things.

For never was a story of more

woe than this

of Juliet and her Romeo.

Great show, everybody. Great show. Thank

you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very

much. You've been a beautiful audience.

You really have. What about this cast?Huh

HuhHow about that?Oh, this-- oh, you're

too kind. You're too kind. And how about

the orchestra?Everyone was great.

Rosie left me a memento. Something with

her beautiful teeth marks on it. Mm.

What?Hey, I happen to

like Roto. Come on, Joe. Race you

outside! Don't catch

me! Woo! All the world's a stage, and all

men and women merely players. They have

their exits and their entrances, and one

dog, uh, man, in his time, plays

many parts.

Tasty. He definitely had me in mind.

The stage where most of Shakespeare's

plays were first performed was the Old

Globe Theatre, and the players were a

special group of actors called the King's

Men. They all played different parts in

different plays, sort of a theatrical dog

pack. I've got my own pack of actors who

play different characters every day.

Our casting director helps pick which

actor would be best for each part, and I

wanted someone special to play my Juliet.

The actress we finally selected to play

Juliet. had all the qualities that we

needed, which were youthfulness and

exuberance and an incredibly wonderful

ability to speak the Shakespearean

language in a believable way.

Auditions are a little scary, but they're

a wonderful opportunity because you get

to recite some lines from the actual

script so that they can see how well you

can play the character. Romeo.

Romeo.

Wherefore art thou Romeo?Deny thy

father and refuse thy name. Actors

have to look the part too. The week

before the show hits the stage, they're

fitted so their costume looks terrific.

Nice hat, huh

Final touches of hairstyling and makeup

complete the creation of an unmistakably

handsome leading man. At rehearsals,

actors practice where to stand, walk and

stop. Kind of like obedience school.

Time for my rehearsal. Whoops! Even

stars have to practice hitting their

marks.

The strength of any show is how well all

the actors work as a team. And it

doesn't hurt to have a megastar

headlining either. Thank you, ladies and

gentlemen! Thank you very much! Actors

need a good imagination. So if you hope

to be a player on the world's stages,

prepare for acting with your nose between

the pages. Of a good book, that is.
