Editing Littlefoot Meets The Fox and the Hound/Transcript (section)

== The best of friends/Amos orders the heroes to stay away from Copper ==
Big Mama: My, my, look at that. A fox and the hound playing together with the children.

Baloo: Well, how about that, Baggy? Tod's found himself a playmate.

Bagheera: Yes, I've noticed.

(Copper sniffs around to find Tod until he finds him on top of a stump. Then, he sniffs to the tree.)

Ash Ketchum: (jumps from behind the tree) Boo! (laughing) Gotcha!

Copper: (laughing) You sure did, Ash.

(Copper finds the others from their hiding places. Big Mama began to sing as Copper, Tod and the kids play together.)

Big Mama: (singing) When you're the best of friends

Having so much fun together

You're not even aware, you're such a funny pair

You're the best of friends

Life's a happy game

You could clown around forever

Neither one of you sees, your natural boundaries

Life's one happy game

(Copper and Tod laugh joyfully along with the kids.)

Amos Slade: Copper! (whistles)

Ash Ketchum: (gasps) Uh-oh. It's Mrs. Tweed's cranky neighbor.

Copper: Gee, I gotta go.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Aww, already? But you just got here.

Copper: Sorry, guys, my master's waiting for me.

(Copper leaves)

Scooby-Doo: Hey, Tod, let's play some more.

Tod: Okay, I guess I'll see Copper tomorrow.

(Amos orders Copper to go into his barrel. Both the hunter and Chief glare at Copper with angry looks.)

Big Mama: (singing) If only the world wouldn't get in the way

If only people would just let you play

They say you're both being fools

You're breaking all the rules

They can't understand, the magic of your wonderland

(Littlefoot and Ash sigh sadly at Copper, feeling sorry for him. But suddenly, Amos, with a corn-cob pipe in his mouth, comes by, and looms over them, and gasps while Chief scares them by growling and barking angrily at them.)

Amos Slade: (growls and glares angrily at them, scaring them) You kids get off of my property!

Littlefoot: (scared) Uh-oh, we gotta get out of here!

(Our heroes run off next door, terrified.)

Amos Slade: Heh! Mangy little brats.... Sometimes whippersnappers like them don't know how to mind their place.

(Amos goes inside his house. The heroes pant as go into the barn.)

Shaggy Rogers: Like, sheesh, what a grumpy old man!

Scooby-Doo: Yeah, a grumpy old man.

Petrie: That old dog is really mean.

(The next day, Tod runs out to call for Copper.)

When you're the best of friends (Tod: Copper!)

Big Mama: (singing) Sharing all that you discover

When that moment has past, will that friendship last?

Who can say? There's a way!

(Copper, though happy to see Tod, tries to go to him, but doesn't want to wake Chief.)

Oh, I hope... I hope it never ends

Tod: Come on, Copper!

Big Mama: (singing) 'Cause you're the best of friends

(Copper tiptoes over Chief's rope and joyfully runs over to play with Tod.)

Tod: Copper, you're my very best friend.

Copper: And you're mine too, Tod.

Tod: And we'll always be best friends forever. Won't we?

Copper: Yeah, forever. (climbs onto Ash) Littlefoot, Ash, you guys are my friends too. (affectionately licking Ash's face)

Ash Ketchum: (laughing) You bet.

Littlefoot: We sure are, Copper.

SpongeBob SquarePants: What are we gonna do now, Tod?

Tod: Hey, let's go swimming.

Patrick: Oh, boy, swimming!

Copper: Give me a head start and I can beat ya!

Ducky: Hey, wait for us!

(Tod and Copper among with the heroes jump into the water and they splashed each other. Big Mama looks on smiling then, she exclaimed when a splash hits her. Back to Amos' house he and Chief are not happy since Copper wandered off again.)

Amos Slade: (frustrated) Dagnabbit! That Copper pup's gone straight off again. Come on, Chief. Ever that little rascal's gonna make me a good hunting dog, he's gonna learn to mind.

(As Copper and Tod have fun, Amos and Chief arrive.)

Littlefoot: Oh, no. Not him again.

Amos Slade: (whistles) Copper, get over here! (whistles; louder) '''COPPER!!'''

Copper: Uh-oh. I gotta go home.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Again?

Tod: Do you have to? We're having too much fun.

Copper: I gotta. He sounds awful mad.

Tod: We'll see you tomorrow and don't forget.

Copper: I won't! Bye, guys!

Heroes: Bye, Copper!

(As Tod and the heroes go back to Mrs. Tweed's house they run into Amos and Chief who angrily glared at the heroes. Tod quickly runs off. Chief growls angrily at them which scared them. )

Spongebob and Patrick: Mr. Slade!

Bugs and Daffy: Uh-oh!

(Gurgi, Petrie, Scooby and Roger gulp fearfully.)

Shaggy Rogers: (chuckles nervously, to Chief) Nice doggie.

Heroes: (nervously smiling) Hello, Mr. Slade.

Amos Slade: (yelling) Don't you "hello" me, you little brats, stay away from Copper!

(The heroes are shocked upon hearing this.)

Littlefoot: What?! That's not fair!

Cera: Yeah, you can't do that!

Ash Ketchum: (hurt) Why should we stay away from Copper?! We didn't do anything to him!

Misty: Yeah, we were just playing with the little guy!

Taran: He's only a little puppy, Mr. Slade.

Princess Eilonwy: Yes, Mr. Slade, there's no need to shout.

Amos Slade: Well, Copper is not for you kids to play with. He's my dog, not yours! He's for me to train a future hunting dog. A hunting dog is not bred to be a child's plaything! It is only bred to just hunt! Nothing else! Now, I'm telling you for the last time, stay away from my dogs and keep off of my property! (to Chief and Copper) Come on, boys. Copper, you are forbidden to play with those kids from now on, ya hear? (Copper whimpers hurtfully)

(Amos leaves with Chief and Copper. The heroes were stunned.)

Princess Eilonwy: (deeply hurt and offended) Oh, what a horrid old man!

Misty: You can say that again.

Squidward Tentacles: Don't waste your breath, girls. Let's just go back.

(They all agree and head back to Mrs. Tweed's home. Back at the barn, our heroes are a bit sad about Amos spoiling their playtime with Tod and Copper. They're deeply hurt over Amos' harsh order to stay away from Copper. Just then, Dinky, Boomer and Big Mama arrive.)

Brock: (sadly) Hi, guys.

Dinky: (worried) What's wrong? Are you all okay?

Ash Ketchum: (on the verge of tears) We're fine.

Boomer: You don't sound fine to us, Ash.

Big Mama: Why don't you tell us what happened, honey?

Roger Rabbit: (sighs) Okay, well what happened just now. Mr. Slade told us to stay away from Copper.

Big Mama: Is that what happened?

Misty: Uh-huh. Mr. Slade also called us brats.

Dinky: Oh, we're sorry for what happened today.

Boomer: Yeah, we know just how you feel.

Roger Rabbit: Yeah, Boomer. Just because you and Dinky hunt for that worm all the time we never do anything together especially with Tod.

Littlefoot: And do you guys know how boring it is when there's nobody else around here to play with?

Big Mama: Look on the bright side, children. You've played with Tod.

Dinky: And you hung out with him while Boomer and I were busy.

SpongeBob SquarePants: (sighs) I can't believe Mr. Slade cut our fun short.

Patrick: Yeah. The nerve of that guy being such a sourpuss.

Daffy Duck: Or better yet: total fun police.

Ash Ketchum: Hey, Big Mama?

Big Mama: Yes, Ash?

Ash Ketchum: Who was that old dog with Mr. Slade?

Big Mama: That old dog, you say?

Ash Ketchum: Mmm-hmm.

Big Mama: That's Chief and like his master he hates visitors and he's very grumpy. So, I wouldn't interact with him if I were you.

Littlefoot: (in his thoughts) Him too?!

Dinky: Yeah, you kids better watch out for Chief because he didn't like his nap to be disturbed. If you go near Chief, you'll wake him up and he'll be awfully cranky.

Daffy Duck: Now, that's not a friendly dog.

Bugs Bunny: Yeah, Chief is as grumpy as Mr. Slade.

Tod: Hey, guys, you can play with me it'll cheer you all up.

Littlefoot; Sure, Tod, that'll get our mind off that grumpy old man and his mean old dog.

Big Mama: Well, there you go, kids.

(The heroes go play with Tod in Mrs. Tweed's yard then the camera fades to black.)
