Tramp
[looks into a pet shop window and sees three adorable puppies, sleeping, until one of them walks closer to him]

Aw, cute little rascals! [the puppy yaps happily] A-cootchie-cootchie-cootchie-cootchie-coo!

Tramp

Hey. Psst. Psst.

Bull

Blimey! Look, Peg. It's the Tramp.

Tramp

Shh.

Peg

Hiya, handsome. Come to join the party?

Tramp

All right, all right. No time for wisecracks. I've gotta get you out. I'm tellin' ya, the pressure's really hot. Signs all over town.

Peg

Gee, thanks.

Bull

You're a bit of all right, chum.

Tramp

Okay, okay, get going.

Dog Catcher

Hey, what's goin' on over there?

Tramp

Scram! And be careful.

Dog Catcher

What? You mangy mutt. Hey, let go. Let go of me!'

Tramp

Well, here we are.

The zoo?

Tramp

Sure! No, no. This way. Follow me.

[the zoo security guard hums an Irish folk song]

Oh!

Tramp

What's the matter, Pige?

We can't go in.

Tramp

Why not?

Well, the sign says, "No Dogs Allowed."

Tramp

Yeah, well, well, that's... That's the angle.

Angle?

Tramp

Look, we'll just wait for the right... [the professor appears reading a book] Uh-oh! Here we are now. Just lay low.

Zoo Security Guard
[Tramp whistles at the zoo security guard, then barks]

Hey, you!

Professor
[closes his book]

Uh, I beg your pardon? Were you addressing me?

Zoo Security Guard

What's the matter!? [shows the professor the "No Dogs Allowed" sign] Can't you read!?

Professor

Why, yes. Several languages.

Zoo Security Guard

Oh, a wise guy, eh? [Tramp growls viciously at the zoo security guard] All right, now... [points to Tramp with his nightstick] ...what's this creature doing here?

Tramp
[barks at the zoo security guard's nightstick]
Professor

He's not my dog. [Tramp jumps into the professor's arms]

Zoo Security Guard

Oh, he's not, eh!? [Tramp barks at the zoo security guard]

Professor

Let go! Go away! Go on! Why, certainly not, officer.

Zoo Security Guard

Aye, and I suppose you'll be telling me next that it was the dog that was whistling, eh!?

Professor

I-I-I'm certain I don't know.

Zoo Security Guard

Oh, so, I'm a liar now, am I!? [angrily] Well, you listen to me! AHA! Resisting an officer of the law! [Tramp tears off the back of the professor's suit, in order to provoke him into getting into trouble with the zoo security guard] Oh, you're going to pay! [Tramp bites the zoo security guard's buttocks] OW!! Pull a knife on me, would you!? Trying to assassinate me, are you!? Carrying a concealed weapon! [the zoo security guard's and the professor's fight makes some nearby elephants, lions, and giraffes think the zoo security guard and the professor both have gone crazy, as they watch the fight from their exhibits]

Tramp
[continues barking, then to Lady]

Come on, Pidge. The place is ours. [he enters the zoo with Lady, as the zoo security guard and the professor continue fighting]

Tramp

We'd better go through this place from A to Z. Apes. No, no, no, no. No use even asking them.

Tramp
[one of the apes in their cage scratches his head at the two dogs, while the other two both look at the audience]

They wouldn't understand.

They wouldn't?

Tramp

Uh-uh. Too closely related to humans. Uh-oh! Alligators. Now, there's an idea! [to the alligator about the muzzle] Say, Al? Do you suppose you could nip this contraption off for us?

Al the Alligator

Glad to oblige. [Opens his mouth wide to the point where Lady's entire head can fit in it]

Tramp

Whoa, WHOA!!!! [The alligator nearly, and accidentally, bites Lady's head off, but the Tramp saves her at the last second and a hyena laughs hysterically in his cage at both Lady and Tramp] Huh! If anybody ever needed a muzzle, it's him.

Beaver
[off-screen]

TIMBER!!!!

Tramp

Hey, Pigeon! Look out! [a tree falls over close to the two dogs] Now, what hair-brained idiot would--? [notices a beaver gnawing on the tree] Hey, look! A beaver! Here's the answer to our problem!

Beaver
[inspects the tree]

Let me see here... 6 foot 6 and 7/16 inches.

Tramp

Uh... Pardon me, friend! I wonder if you'd do us a little...

Beaver

Busy, sonny! Busy! Can't stop to gossip now. [tries to push the tree] Gotta slide this sycamore to...the swamp.

Tramp

Yeah, well, this will only take a second of your time.

Beaver

Only a second!? L-Listen! Listen, sonny! Do you realize every second 70 centimeters of water is wasted over that spill-way?! [points to his unfinished dam]

Tramp

Yeah, but...

Beaver

Gotta get this log moving, sonny! Gotta get it moving! T'ain't the cuttin' takes some time! It's the doggone haulin'!

Tramp
[notices the leash to Lady's muzzle and the limb on the tree]

The haulin'! Exactly! Now, what you need is--

Beaver

I'd better bisect this section here. [begins gnawing on the log]

Tramp

What you need is a log puller! [the beaver gnaws loudly] [screaming] I SAID A LOG PULLER!!!

Beaver

I ain't "deaf", sonny. There's no need to... Did you say, "log puller"!?

Tramp

And by a lucky coincidence, you see before you, modeled by the lovely little lady, the new, improved, patented, handy-dandy, never-failed, little-giant log puller! The Busy Beaver's Friend!

Beaver

You don't say!

Tramp

Guaranteed not to wear, tear, rip, or ravel! Turn around, sister, and show the customer the merchandise. And it cuts log-hauling time 66%!

Beaver

66%, eh!? [chuckles] Think of that! Well, how does it work?

Tramp

Why, it's no work at all. You neatly slip this ring into the limb like this... [slips the leash of Lady's muzzle into the limb of the log] and haul it off!

Beaver

Say, you mind if I slip it on for size?

Tramp

Help yourself, friend! Help yourself!

Beaver

Okay, don't mind if I do! [pulls on the rope to Lady's muzzle] How do you get the "consarned" thing off, sonny?

Tramp

Glad you brought that up, friend. Glad you brought that up. To remove it, simply place the strap between your teeth.

Beaver

Like this? [puts the strap of Lady's muzzle between his teeth]

Tramp

Correct, friend! Now bite hard! [the beaver bites the strap of the muzzle, removing it from Lady] You see?

It's off!

Beaver

Say, that is simple!

Tramp

Well, friend, we'll be on our way now, so...

Beaver

Uh-uh-uh-uh! Not so fast now, sonny! [puts on the muzzle] I'll have to make certain it's satisfactory before we settle on a price.

Tramp

Oh, no! It's all yours, friend! You can keep it!

Beaver

Uh, I can, huh? I can!?

Uh-huh. It's a free sample. [Tramp is astonished by this remark]

Beaver

Well, thanks a lot! Thanks ever so... [the log rolls down the hill, causing the beaver to tumble with it; when the log hits the river, it blocks it completely, completing the dam] Say! It works swell! [water squirts out of the beaver's mouth]

But when she put that horrible muzzle on me...

Tramp

Oh, say no more. I get the whole picture. Aunts, cats, muzzles. Well, that's what comes of tying yourself down to one family.

Haven't you a family?

Tramp

One for every day of the week. The point is, none of them have me.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

Tramp

It's simple. You see... Hey! Something tells me it's supper-time. Come on. I'll show you what I mean. Now take the Schultzes here. Little Fritzie... That's me, Pige. Makes this his Monday home.

Monday home?

Tramp
[in German accent]

Ach, ja! Mondays is Mama Schultz cooking der Wiener schnitzel. [normal voice] Delicious! [in Irish accent] Now, O'Briens here is where little Mike... Sure and that's me again, Pige. Comes of a Tuesday.

"Of a Tuesday"?

Tramp

Begorra and that's when they're after havin' that darlin' corn beef. [normal voice] You see, Pige, when you're footloose and collar-free... ah, you take nothing but the best.

Tramp
[Tramp barks Chickens runs]

Some fun eh, kid? [Dogcatcher: Hey, what's goin' on in there?!]

You see, Miss Lady, there comes the time in the life of all humans when, uh - Well, as they put it, uh, these Birds and these Bees? Or, well, uh, the stork? You know? No? Well, then, uh-

Jock

What he's trying to say, lassie, is Darling is expecting the wee-bairn.

"Bairn"?

He means a baby, Miss Lady.

Oh. What's a baby?

Jock

Well, they, they resemble humans.

But I'd say the mite smaller.

Jock

Aye, and they walk on all fours.

And, if I remember correctly, they beller a lot.

Jock

Aye, and they're very expensive. You will not be permitted to play with.

But they're mighty sweet.

Jock

And very, very soft.

Tramp
[barging in after seeing Lady for the first time]

Just a cute little bundle...of trouble. [the three see him in shock] Yeah, they scratch, pinch, pull ears - Aw, but shucks, any dog can take that. It's what they do to your happy home. [pushes Jock out of the way] Move it over, will ya, friend? Homewreckers. That's what they are.

Jock

Look here, laddie! Who are you to barge in?!

Tramp

The voice of experience, buster. Heh-heh. Boy, just wait 'til Junior gets here. You feel the urge for a nice, comfortable scratch, and... [Trusty scratches himself; imitates female voice] "Put that dog out! He'll get fleas all over the baby!" [normal voice] You start barking at some strange mutt... [barks at Jock; imitates female voice] "Stop that racket, you'll wake the baby!" [normal voice] And then - then they hit you in the room and board department. Oh, remember those nice, juicy cuts of beef? [Lady imagines the beef] Forget 'em. [the beef changes into baby food] Leftover baby food. [Lady shake the food off her face] And that nice, warm bed by the fire? [Lady rests on the bed, but the fireplace changes into the doghouse in the rain] A leaky dog house.

[finished imagining; worried]

Oh, dear.

Jock

Do not listen to him, Lassie! No human is that cruel!

Why, everybody knows a dog's best friend is his human.

Tramp

Where do you fall for that old line?

Jock

Aye, and we have no need for mongrels, and their radical ideas! Off with you, now! Off with you! Off with you!

Tramp

Well, okay, Sam.

Jock

My name is Jock!

Tramp

Uh... I mean, Jock.

Jock

Heather Lad Glenn O'Cairn to you!

Tramp

Okay, okay, okay! [to Lady] Now, remember this, Pidge. A human heart is only for love and affection. But, when a baby moves in, the dog moves out.

Tramp
[to Lady]

Hey, Pidge. What are you doing in this side of the tracks? I thought you were... Wha... Aw, you poor kid. Oh, we've gotta get this off. Hmm. I think I know of that very place. Come on.

Tramp

Some fun, eh? Huh, kid?

Farmer
[off-screen]

Hey! What's going on in there?!
