Trusty
[Last lines] [to Lady and Tramp's puppies]

As my grand pappy, Ol' Reliable, used to say...I don't recollect if I've ever mentioned Old Reliable before.

Annette, Collette, and Danielle
[in unison]

No, you haven't, Uncle Trusty.

Trusty

Huh? I haven't? Well, uh, as Old Reliable used to say... He'd say, uh, uh... He'd say, uh, uh... Doggone. You know, I clean forgot what it was he used to say.

Trusty

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"?

Trusty

He means a baby, Miss Lady.

Oh. What's a baby?

Jock

Well, they, they resemble humans.

Trusty

But I'd say the mite smaller.

Jock

Aye, and they walk on all fours.

Trusty

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

Jock

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

Trusty

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!

Trusty

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.

[from outside]

Thank goodness I got there in time. There they were, crib overturned...

[from outside]

Oh, I'm sure there must be some mistake. I know Lady wouldn't- [opens the basement door]

[Lady breaks out of the basement and barks to them]

Watch out! That dog's loose! Keep her away!

Nonsense! She's trying to tell us something. What is it, old girl? [Lady leads them upstairs to the baby's room; she shows the dead rat behind the window curtain] What are you trying...? [sees the dead rat] Darling, Aunt Sarah, come here!

What is it, Jim?

[freaking out]

AHHH!!! A RAT!!!

Trusty
[Outside, Jock and Trusty hear] [realizing]

A rat? We should've known.

Jock
[regrets himself]

I misjudged him...badly.

Trusty
[runs off]

Come on. We got to stop that wagon.

Jock
[runs after trusty]

But man, we don't know which way they've gone.

Trusty

We'll track 'em down.

Jock

A-A-A-And Then?!

Trusty

We'll hold 'em. Hold 'em at bay!
