Editing Pooh's Adventures of Oliver & Company/Transcript (section)

== The Heroes rescue Oliver/The heroes' argument with Dodger ==
(The scene changes to the next morning as a bus is parked outside)

Jenny: Bye, Winston! Goodbye, Oliver!

(She hops on the school bus)

Girl: Hi, Jenny. Sit over here.

(As the bus rolls away, the dogs and the heroes peek out of the bushes)

Dodger: All right, listen up. We checked it out. All we gotta do is...

(They hear Winston pounding a rolling pin in his hands)

Tito: Oh, man! He's dead meat now!

Francis: I'll handle that ruffian.

(Winston watches wrestling on the television)

Winston: (watching live wrestling on TV) Body slam! Body slam! Oh, come on, you fool! Hit him! Hit him! (hears the doorbell) Oh, bother.

(Einstein presses the doorbell with his nose)

Dodger: Einy, get outta there!

Einstein: Huh?

(He then hides for cover from Winston, who opens the door)

Winston: Yes? Who is it?

(He sees Francis laying on the doorstep and playing dead from yesterday)

Francis: (moans)

Winston: Oh, my.

(Francis licks Winston’s face)

Winston: You!

(Francis tugs on Winston's apron)

Winston: I’ll show you, you, you…

(As he chases Francis down the sidewalk, the rest of the dogs and the heroes hustle inside the house)

Winston: Come back here!

(The door closes behind them)

Winston: What...

(The door opens, allowing Francis inside, and then closes again. Winston scratches his head in confusion. Inside)

Tito: ¡Miralo this place! Check it out!

Squidward: (gasps, noticing the wall paintings) Chagall. Matisse. These are all masterpieces.

Rita: Huh, this place looks pretty nice. I mean, how bad off could it be here?

Tito: (sniffs) Hey, man, if this is torture, chain me to the wall.

Dodger: Tito!

(Winston is trying to get in as he rattles the door handle)

Dodger: We're here for the kid and our friends, remember? Now let's get him and go.

(As Dodger and the gang sniff around for Oliver's scent, Georgette is sitting upstairs in her bedroom)

Georgette: (mimicking Jenny) "I love you, Oliver. Play with Georgette." (fuming) I'd like to play with him, all right! (puts on her perfume) The little fur ball! Oooh.

(She notices Dodger standing next to her)

Georgette: Who are you?! What do you want?! Winston! (barks)

Dodger: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down.

(The mirror crashes to the floor with Georgette on it. Outside, Winston tries to enter through the window)

Winston: (grunting) Oooh!

(He lands on the counter, knocking over pots and pans, and sees the dogs' footprints all over the kitchen floor)

Georgette: Don't come any closer! I knew this would happen one day.

Dodger: You're barkin' up the wrong tree. It's not you I'm after.

Georgette: It's not? It's not?! Well, why not? What's the problem, Spot? Not good enough for you? I mean, do you even know who I am?

(Georgette shows them her ribbon and trophy collection)

Georgette: You are pretty much bang on, darling. Fifty-six blue ribbons, fourteen regional trophies. (shouts in Dodger’s face) Six-time national champion!

Dodger: Ooh, and we’re already impressed. Right, guys?

(Rita, Tito, Francis, Einstein and the heroes then arrive)

Tito: (pants)

Georgette: Oh!

Tito: (kissing Georgette's paw) Allow me to introduce myself: I am Ignacio Alonzo Julio Frederico de Tito.

Georgette: GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU LITTLE BUG-EYED CREEP! Winston!

Tito: (sighs)

Rita: Excuse me, sister. Who's Rex?

Georgette: None of your business! (to Francis, who's sitting on her bed eating chocolates) And you, tubby! (Francis smiles sheepishly) Off the bed! (goes to Einstein who's sniffing the powder) Get away from there, you-- (Einstein sneezes) (annoyed) All right! That does it, you yo-yos clear out and I mean now! Winston! Bark! Bark!

Dodger: Relax, champ. We'll leave as soon as we get our cat.

Georgette: If you think I'm intimidated by a bunch of flea-bitten, dog-pound rejects… (pauses) Your cat? (chuckles) How stupid of me. You must be the friends he keeps talking about. Yes.

Winston: Georgette.

(Winston heads up the stairs, armed with a rolling pin toward Georgette's room)

Winston: Something's not quite right here.

(He opens the door to see Georgette leaning up from her bed and grinning like nothing's happened. Unknown to Winston, Rita and Dodger act as poodle statues, while Francis and Einstein are hiding under the covers. Winston, confused, leaves the room and shuts the door, which Tito is hanging from by his headband)

Georgette: Shh. Quick. Before he comes back. Follow me.

(Inside Jenny’s room, Oliver is sound asleep)

Rita: Look at him, Dodger. Honey let's just forget the whole thing.

Georgette: (hastily) No, no, you can't do that! You don’t understand. The poor dear's so traumatized.

Winston: Georgette.

Georgette: Huh? What?

(She uses her teeth and flings Oliver into a pillowcase which is held in place by Francis and Einstein)

Winston: What is going on here?

Georgette: Now, get going. Hurry. Use the fire escape.

(The dogs and heroes flee the bedroom with Oliver in their paws)

Oliver: (muffled shouts)

Francis: (grunting)

Tito: (turns to Georgette) There’s no time for long goodbyes, but, uh, here’s something to remember me by, baby.

(Dodger stops and looks at the window above. Tito is then heard kissing Georgette, who smacks out of retaliation, sending him falling down the steps)

Tito: (groans) Ooh, I think she likes me, man!

(The heroes follow Dodger's lead back to the docks)

Tito: Ooh, I could’ve danced all night!

I could've danced all night!

(The scene changes to the boathouse in the late afternoon as the dogs and heroes enter it)

Francis: You were very good.

Oliver: What?

Francis: Nice job, Dodger.

Oliver: Hey, wait. What's going on, you guys?

Tito: Just the rescue of the century. You should've seen Frankie handle that butler.

Oliver: (confused) Rescue?

Tito: (howls)

Francis: I was rather good, wasn't I?

???: And you have a collar.

???: (reads the tag) "Oliver". You're names Oliver now?

Oliver: Yeah.

???: Well, now we know what to call him.

Dodger: And how about Tito and Miss Six-Time National Champion?

Oliver: Hey, hey, but, wait. I-I-I don't understand you guys.

Rita: You okay, kid?

Oliver: Yeah, I'm fine.

Tito: Hey, sure he is! He's back with his uncle Tito! (kisses him)

Oliver: I was happy there. Why did you guys take me away?

(Dodger and Francis look at each other confused)

Einstein: We rescued you, kitty. We, we brought you home.

Oliver: (sadly) But... Well, I, I have another home now. And someone who loves me.

Dodger: What do you mean, kid? You're in the gang.

Oliver: But, but...

Dodger: The gang means family. We risked a lot to get you outta there.

Oliver: Look, I’m sorry, but all I ever wanted was….

Dodger: (upset) What? This place is not good enough for you anymore? Don't wanna mix with the riffraff?

Oliver: No, no. I like you. I mean, I like... I like every one of you. But there was a little girl... I just wanna go back.

Rita: (sighs) We never should've took him, Dodger.

???: They do have a point.

???: We never should've taken him away.

Oliver: Dodger, please...

Dodger: (upset) You wanna leave? Fine! There’s the door!

Einstein: But he just got here.

Dodger: Go on. No one's stoppin' ya.

Tito: Hey, uh, Dodger, man, lighten up.

???: Yeah, Dodger! What Tito said!

Dodger: (snaps) You lighten up! If he doesn't like it, let him go!  

???: Dodger, Oliver just wants a good home. Whoever adopted him must've liked him. 

Dodger: Well, of you guys agree with him, you can join him, too! 

???: Oh, so what are you saying there? That how Oliver finds a home our way isn't as good as he finds a home your way? 

Dodger: Your way? You mean his way. Can't you see he's forgotten about us? 

Tennesse Tuxedo: Dodger, don't be ridiculous! He wouldn't forget about you, and he wouldn't forget about us, neither. 

Chumley: Uh, you're absolutely right, Tennessee. 

Dodger: Don't you understand what's happening here? The kid has been adopted by non-riffraff. 

???: Oh, so you think your better than whoever adopted him? I'm starting to think that you hating Oliver's new life is just you being jealous. 

Dodger: Jealous? Of the kids? 

???: Yeah, and his name's Oliver now! He's embracing his future there and you're just holding us back! 

Dodger: Oh, I'll hold you back, all right. From non-riffraff. 

- 

- 

???: You know what, Dodger? We don't think Oliver is your problem, it's your heart. 

- 

- 

Dodger: Poky, you know I didn't. 

(Poky just turns away) 

Dodger: Poky? 

Poky Little Puppy: I don't want to talk right now, Uncle Dodger. 

???: Now you see what you've done, Dodger? You just upset your nephew. 

(The heroes glare at him in disapproval as Dodger hops onto the armchair. Oliver sadly takes one last look at the dogs and heroes who felt remorseful for what they've done)
