09x14 - Mutt's in a Name Hurricane Alice

[bunniefuu]

( whirring )

( snoring )

Whoa!

( whirring )

( kids laughing )

( dog barks )

( giggles )

( whirring )

( squeals )

( squeaking )

KIMI:
* La, la, la, la, la

* La, la, la.

( boys giggling )

Catch the ball.

Hey, puppy didn't
chase our ball.

Don't you want
to play, puppy?

She's sure not acting
like herselfs.

Puppy, puppy...

( speaking
gibberish )

Maybe she's just having
a bad puppy day.

Then we gots
to cheer her up.

Spiffy's always happy
when he's chewing something.

Good idea, Tommy.

( sniffing )

Maybe she don't feel
like chewing,

but she always likes ripping up
newsie papers.

Look, puppy, ripping stuff's
fun, 'member?

( growling )

( all grunting and giggling )

Something's
not right
with puppy.

Chas, take a break.

You can help me with
this jigsaw puzzle.

I can't right now, Kira.

I've been trying for months

to find the perfect name
for puppy.

Soon she won't even be
a puppy anymore.

I'm sure
I'm close.

That's it! Charles!

Oh, that's my name.

( sighs )

Don't worry, Kira.

I'll find the right name
for puppy soon.

It's here somewhere.

And I'll know it
when I see it.

That's why
puppy's sad.

'Cause she don't gots
her name yet.

I'm sorry
you're sad, puppy.

You can have my name
if it'll make you happy.

Then what will
we call you, Chuckie?

Uh... you could call me... Fred.

You can't just
give your name
away, Chuckie.

Puppy has to have
her own special name.

I'm sure
your daddy
will find one.

Tommy, we can't wait for
my daddy to find a name.

Sometimes it takes him forever
just to find his shoes!

Hmm... maybe
you're right.

Come on, guys.

I bet we could find
puppy's name ourselves.

Uh... what's a name
look like, Tommy?

I don't know,
but your daddy says

we'll know it
when we sees it.

I found it!

( Chuckie gasps )

You found
puppy's name!

Nope, my bunny's ear.

Oh.

We don't even know where
to look for a name.

Maybe it's in the same place
our names came from.

That's it, Kimi!

My name's right
inside my shirt.

I sure that says
your name, Tommy?

That's what
my mommy told me.

But puppy doesn't
wear shirts, Tommy.

Then maybe it's on some
of our other stuffs.

Come on, let's look.

I don't see anything
that looks like it
gots a name on it.

Me neither.

But if her name's not on
our stuffs, then where is it?

My daddy says that's my name

right up there
on that baby plate.

You're lucky.

Your name was
easy to find.

And if your name's
on a plate,

maybe puppy's
name is, too.

I don't think puppy's name is
on any of these plates.

These either.

Puppy's never going
to have a name.

She's going to
be sad forever.

I think we gots
to start looking
on other stuffs,

and we're going
to have

to start looking extra hard.

CHAS:
Come on, puppy.

Maybe a walk will
give us some fresh ideas.

Puppy?

Come on, puppy.

Here, puppy.

Oh, no.

I've taken so long to name her,

she won't even answer
to "puppy" anymore.

( chokes up )

She's having an identity crisis.

Here, puppy.

Puppy...

Oh, it's true.

It's true.

It's all my fault.

( sobs )

Maybe I should call the vet.

Tell him to hurry, Kira.

This is a puppy emergency.

Puppy's name gots to be
on something in there.

Now my daddy will find
her name for sure.

CHAS:
Don't worry, puppy.

Everything's going
to be all right.

What's all this?

Kira, I found my shoes!

I guess puppy's name
wasn't in there.

CHUCKIE:
I know you was hoping

we'd find your name,
puppy.

I'm sorry.

I wish my grandma was here.

Mommy says my name
came from her.

If there's a person
who gives baby names,

maybe there's a person
who gives puppy names, too.

( car approaches )

VET:
Mrs. Finster...

I'm Dr. Mutterly.

Thank you for coming

so quickly, Dr. Mutterly.

My husband's very upset.

He thinks our
puppy's having
an identity crisis.

Mrs. Finster, if your puppy's
having an identity crisis,

Dr. Mutterly will know.

I'm an expert on dog psychoses.

Perhaps you've
read my book,
The Sick Puppy.

Now, let's have
a look at the patient.

She's the
patient's mother.

Puppy's in
the backyard.

The mother, eh?

It'll all come back
to you, no doubt.

Your mommy and daddy got
an expert puppy namer.

He'll find puppy's name.

So when exactly
did the problem begin?

CHAS:
Well, Doctor, I've been trying
to name puppy since, uh...

well, since we got her.

( shouts ):
You haven't given this puppy
a name yet?!

( Chas squeals in fear )

( scrawling on paper )

Well, we have
no time to lose.

First, I must see
the universe of the dog...

the world of the pooch.

Take me to puppy's place!

Yep, we checked
there, too.

( sniffing )

Hmm... nothing here.

Perhaps we should take
a closer look at the patient.

Hey, of course!

Puppy's name's not
on her stuffs.

It's on puppy!

Hmm... very unusual.

Uh-oh, he didn't
find the name.

Maybe we should look.

Puppy appears
quite normal.

The... there's usually
other symptoms with
this sort of thing.

CHUCKIE:
Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

( slurps )

I don't think it's here either.

We must test her
instinctual behavior.

( ball squeaks )

Yep, we tried
the ball, too.

A puppy that doesn't fetch.

Hmm... that's very,
very troublesome.

Puppy, bark.

( barks )

Roll over.

Puppy, roll over.

That's not going
to help find
puppy's name.

He's just playing
like a doggie.

Chuckie, wait.

He's a expert.

He must know
what he's doing.

( maniacal barking and panting )

( continues barking )

( stops, exhausted )

Maybe we should bring him
the plates.

Well, it can only be one thing.

The bone!

The bone?

Yes, clearly she's suffering

from bone separation anxiety.

Your dog has misplaced
her bone.

And we must find it.

Oh.
Oh.

So I dig, she'll join,

and together,
we'll find her bone.

( resumes barking and panting )

Look, he's digging
in the yard.

Of course.

We were so busy
looking in the house,

we forgot
to look out here.

Oh, look, Kira,
the kids want to help.

( grunting )

( sighs )

Not the bone.

Incredible.

Oh, now my book is gone.

Oh, well.

No matter.

I'm afraid I'm totally
stumped on this one.

It's been a pleasure.

Here's my bill.

( gasps )

Wait.

This must be a typo.

The puppy namer's
going bye-bye.

But... but we don't got
puppy's name yet.

TOMMY:
Hey, guys, look.

( both gasp )

CHUCKIE:
It's got puppy's picture on it.

( spits )

( sniffs )

It must have
puppy's name in it.

I can't believe
he charged us
for nothing.

Chas, look.

That man is a genius.

Puppy's got
her old pep again.

That's it! Pepper!

We'll call her Pepper.

Kids, guess what.

Hey, that's Dr. Mutterly's book.

I've got the perfect
name for puppy.

We'll call her Pepper.

Look at her.

Here, Pepper.

( panting excitedly )

I knew I'd find
the right name, Kira.

It's a perfect name.

We did it, guys.

We found Pepper
her name.

Here, Pepper, here.

( giggling )

Here, Pepper.

( giggling )

( kids giggling )

( thunder rumbling,
lightning crashes )

( loud coughing )

I guess this means they're done.

( flames crackling )

HOWARD:
Oh, my gosh.

Oh, for crying
in the bucket,

I told you
I can't cook, Howie.

That's your job.

Now I have to feed
our guests cheese sticks.

Sorry, dear, but I have to get
us prepared for Hurricane Alice.

What you
worried about?

That storm is
miles away from us.

Well, I'm taking
this to the basement.

If Alice turns
this house upside down,

we can sleep there.

Who's
Hurricane Alice?

I don't know,
but she sure
sounds scary.

Yeah, she can turn
a whole housey upside down.

Maybe being upside down
all the time will be fun.

Let's see.

( babies straining
and grunting )

I like being upside down,
but my tummy doesn't.

( all grunt and fall over )

I don't think upside
down is too much fun.

You pups ready
to make a new friend?

My old college roommate Sheila

will be here any minute
with her little girl.

Oh! Cheese sticks.

We're getting a new
friend, you guys.

( Lil and Phil cheer )

I hope she likes
coloring pictures.

( doorbell rings )

Sheila!

Betts!

Whoa!

( bones cracking )

Haven't been
working out, huh?

( laughs ):
I still got it.

I knew this
hurricane hooey

wouldn't keep
you away.

Nah, what's a little wind.

Come on, you lug.

We'll catch up
over same java.

Brought my own cup.

Kids, this is
your new friend, Alice.

( all gasp )

That's Hurricane Alice.

She's going to turn
our housey upside down

and make my tummy
all tumbly.

I don't know, guys--
she doesn't look so bad.

Here she comes.

Look out!

( all whimpering )

A rag teddy bear.

I don't have a rag teddy bear.

See--
I told you guys

there was nothing
to worry about.

Hey, teddy's not apposed to fly.

But I'm done hugging.

Got any other new toys?

( knobs whirring and grinding )

That's done.

What else?

She's turning stuffs
upside down.

Don't worry, guys.

We'll just get her to do
something less exciting.

Uh, Alice?

( Alice making vehicle noises )

We got some real
nice coloring books
and lots of crayons.

Alice?

( loud crash )

That's all you can do
with a firetruck.

Next!

( wind whistling )

More java, Sheil?

No, thanks.

Already on my fifth cup.

Still the biggest
coffee drinker around.

Oh, not as big as me.

This is my sixth.

Oh, you know I could drop you

just like in the
dorm weight-lifting
championship.

Hey-ho! I won the dorm
weight-lifting championship.

Take a look at these puppies.

Puppies? Yeah?

Take a look at
these big jobs.

( coffee cup smashes )

Excuse me, ladies, I, uh...

just need to gather
some canned goods...

But this is a bad time.

( clinking )

Oh, neat.

Hurricane Alice
is turning toys upside down

faster than we can
turn them upside up.

I played all these toys.

Don't you have
any other fun stuff?

We gots lots more
in the closet.

Phillip!

Oops.

Hi, kids.

Don't you worry about a thing.

I'm putting supplies for
Hurricane Alice in every room.

Your daddy said these are
a surprise for Hurricane Alice.

How's this susprise
going to stop her

from turning the house
upside down?

I don't know-- he's your daddy.

ALICE:
It rolls.

It bounces.

A guy comes out.

( toy squeaks )

Stupid.

How's this supposed to help?

Oh!

( static )

( shrieks )

( cackling laughter )

( hyperventilating )

Look! I found more
really neat toys.

TOMMY:
Uh, Alice--
those aren't toys.

Those is grownup
potty room stuffs.

All the stuff that
used to be under there

is up there now.

She turned
the bathroom
upside down.

Look, maybe those are more
of my daddy's susprises.

How are we going
to susprise her

with a jacket
and hat?

I think I know--
follow me.

( giggling )

Airplane.

Blech!

Race car.

Blech!

Rocket ship.

Blech!

Toothbrush.

Bah!

( eerie voice ):
Alice.

( all shout )

( Alice shrieks )

TOMMY:
I'm sure we stopped
her that time.

LIL AND PHIL:
Yeah.

But maybe we should check.

( straining )

-- a Betty record.

b*at that, my friend.

Yo, Howie.

Put another pounds on.

( straining )

Whew.

( straining and grunting )

Oh, yeah.

( does a victory chant )

Oh, yeah!

( Alice cackling )

Lots of new toys!

TOMMY:
Oh, no.

The baseyment is the bottomest
part of the house.

If she turns that upside down,

the bottom of the house
will be on the top, and then...

The whole housey
will be upside down.

( all groan )

( wind howling )

( Alice giggling )

( all three gasp )

( giggling )

( greedily ):
Look at all my toys!

( cackling )

Look!

Another surprise.

Good, I need me
a nappy.

And that's how we stop her.

We get her to go night-night.

I don't think
she ever goes night-night.

Sure she does.

She just needs a pillow
and a blankey and...

And a teddy bear.

Uh, Tommy, that's an old,
risgusting rabbit bootie.

Close enough.

Come on.

Ooh.

Ah!

TOMMY:
Alice.

Look, it's nighty-
night time.

No, it's not.

I still got lots of toys
to play with.

Uh-huh, but look.

I gots a real nice,
new night-night toy for you.

A teddy bear.

I already played
with a teddy bear.

But this is a real special
new teddy bear.

It's a one-eyed,
one-eared teddy... rabbit.

You ever played
with one of those afore?

No.

But you gots to lie down

and act like you're going
night-night to play with him.

( warily ):
Okay.

( cranking )

BOTH:
* Go to sleep, Alice, sleep

* Close your big,
bullfrog eyes *

* Go to sleep...

Once upon a time,

they all lived
happily ever after.

Quick--
tell a longer
beddy-time story.

Um... once upon a time,

there was the
three little pigs

and three bears

and, um, three blind mice...

Shh-- she's asleep.

Look.

( snoring unevenly )

Whew!

Well, look at that.

A little angel, as usual.

Oh, I guess it's time
for us to go.

Good!

I mean, seeing you--
good seeing you.

( laughs insincerely )

( snoring )

Thanks for the cheese sticks.

You betcha.

Good night, nurse.

How can anyone
stand to be around
a woman like that?

I have no idea.

( car engine starts )

( groans )

Hey, take a gander
there, Howie.

Looks like
we don't have to worry

about Hurricane Alice
after all.

( car tires squeal off )

PHIL:
Ah, I'm going
to miss Alice.

We had some
good times together.

Yeah...

Like that time

she looked around
the living room real quiet.

Or that time
she felled asleep.

And... and...

I think that was it.

BOTH:
Yup.

Come on, you guys.

Let's go do some nice,
quiet coloring.

CHUCKIE:
You could call me... Fred.
