Page 1 of 2Back in a thick, Gromit, won't be long.
By heck! I thought we were all for the can then.
Caught bang to rights, you were. You've really let us down this time, lad.
Huh? Ah! It's a sheep-mincing thing! Now, that's clever. [Gromit whistles] Huh?
Let's get that kettle on. [sees the whole house a mess] Good grief! What's all this?! Burglars? Thieves? Oh, what a mess! [Gromit goes to the kitchen, but finds the sheep Shaun knawing on the bone, covered up in splattered food] I've never seen anything like it. [sees Shaun] Heavens above, Gromit! Look at this! The Little Chap must be really hungry. Oh, come over here, lad. No need to be sheepish. [laughs] We'll have to get you cleaned up.
Mice, do you think? [Gromit is suspecting something] I think I'll make my own porridge. [Gromit begins to look around; picks up the box of porridge, but finds the bottom is bitten, causing the porridge mix fall out] Well, I'll be. [sees the cheese eaten] Have you been peckish during the night? Only someone's been at me cheese.
Need wool, don't you, lad?
Oh, allow me, please.
Oh, I'm sorry. Oh! I'll soon have these cleared up. There's no trouble. How embarrassing.
This is Preston, my dog.
All right, pooch. [they began to pick up balls of yarn] Won't take a minute.

Of all the women I've met... Not that there have been many, you understand...
Ooh! We're at maximum speed! She won't go any faster!
Well done, Gromit! That'll teach him!
Well, I don't know, there's something very fishy going on. [Gromit sniffs; sees the bitten hole of the newspaper] Huh? Do you think we should get the pest control people in? [telephone ringing; picks up the reciever] Hello, Wallace & Gromit's Wash'n'Go Window Cleaning Service. May we be of assistance?
[on the phone]
Hello. Yes, my windows could do with a jolly good clean. The wool shop in the high street. Soon as you can.
On our way, madam!
Where'd you get that from? That's MY machine! I've got patent pending on that!
I couldn't pass by without saying thank you. [pushes the buttons on the remote control, and the fixed-up and reformed Preston rolls by] He's just like he used to be.
Oh, don't mention it. [Preston gives him a newspaper] Thanks, pooch. Give me a shout if he goes wrong again.
You're very kind.
Well, won't you come in? We were just about to have some cheese.
Oh, no! Not cheese. Sorry. It brings me out in a rash. Can't stand the stuff.
Got to be on our way. Come on, Preston. [a sad Wallace goes back inside; pets Preston] Good-bye... Chuck. [walks off with Preston]
