HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?! You promised me a professional, and what did I get? A puppy! He's still has his you-know-whats for crying out loud!

Sam

Sir, request permission to pant heavily, sir!

Butch

Granted.

Cut the red wire.

Butch

Wait a minute... we're dogs. WE'RE COLORBLIND!

Lou

I was just thinking - if I'm gonna to be a secret agent, I should have a better name. I was thinking, "Toto Annihilation."

Nah, he's a pro-wrestler. Sorry, that name's taken.

Lou

All right, then. "Doom Machine" it is.

Butch

Hey! You can call yourself "Squicky the Space-Dog" for all I care. [Sam and Peak snicker] But that don't make your behind a rocket pack. You are not an agent, but you are gonna help us.

The book says cut the red wire.

Butch

We're dogs. We're color blind!

Butch

Hold on a second, kid.

Lou

No!

Butch

Hold it!

Lou

Hey, they can't do this! You should've fought for me! For my family!

Butch

Why? What good would it do?

Lou

What about "Man's Best Friend"? History 101, remember?

Butch

Okay, well, here's lesson number 2: We protect them. We work for them. We tolerate their stupid "boochy-boochy" baby-talk crap. AND FOR WHAT?! So when they go off to college, they dump you with some old lady who can't throw a ball without so much as BREAKING HER HIP! [He starts walking away]

Lou

Is that what happened to you? [Butch stops] You gonna blame my family for what some boy did to you?

Butch
[looks at Lou, shocked; walks to the fence-door]

Look, kid, I'm sorry it played out like this, but it's over. We're shut down. [fence-door closes]

Ivy

Hey, Butch, I heard what happened. How's Lou?

Butch

I told him not to get attached to the boy.

Ivy

Sure. An agent keeps his mind on the mission and nothing else. That's why my family didn't love me, Butch.

Butch

We all have our sob stories. Now, he has his.

Butch

How could this have happened?!

Control

It was an accident. He slipped through.

Butch

You promised me a professional! And what do I get?! A puppy! I mean, he's still got his you-know-whats, for crying out loud!

Control

There's no time, Butch. The puppy stays. End of discussion. Out.

[over the phone, in a taunting "nyah nyah" sing-song]

Meow-meow-me-meow-meow! How many dogs does it take to overthrow mankind? Just one stupid puppy.

Lou

Where is my family?!

Oh, they're alive... for now. But it won't matter. You see, I've--

[The limousine Tinkles is riding in swerves, sending him sliding and slamming into the side]

THIS ISN'T NASCAR, YOU IDIOT! [clears throat] I have seized the professor's formula, and in a mere hour I will reverse it, giving me the power to make all humans allergic to dogs!

Butch

What?!

[The limousine swerves again, sending Tinkles sliding into the other side]

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GLOAT GLEEFULLY WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING LIKE A CHIMPANZEE?!? I MEAN, REALLY! [clears throat again] Now I will make all of humanity violently allergic to your wretched kind, and when you are all hated and despised by those you protect, you will be CAST OUT, leaving me to lead all of cat-kind in a glorious revolution to conquer the world! [laughs evilly]

Lou

What will we do?

Butch

"We"? You just handed the world back to the cats and doomed the human race forever! There's nothing left to do.

Ivy
[approaches wearing high-tech equipment]

You always give up too easily, Butch.

Butch

Is that what I think it is?

Lou

What, Butch?

Ivy

Yep, it's the Cat Tracker 2000.

[A beacon is shown to be planted on the limousine]

Those fleabags must be running for the hills! [chuckles]

Yeah, I... yeah, that's what I was thinking.
