you're going to wake up

with a crowd around you.

Sardines...

We could use some.

What about the mutt.

He ain't no mutt.

You wanna see the movies or don't you.

Peaches.

How the hell am I

supposed to know that?

You can read, can't you?

Peaches for the dog.

Beets are better for him any way.

There's a screamer 'bout a mile out.

Where's he heading?

You think I'd stick around to

find out? I said screamers.

Dog:
I want popcorn.

Pass.

You said we'd get some.

Who said.

Dog:
Come on, Albert,

buy me some popcorn.

I'm tapped, you can live without it.

Dog:
You're just being an ass.

You just remember that the next

time you want to call me Albert.

Dog:
I hope the next time you

play with yourself you go blind.

Dog:
Come on let's sit there in front.

Sit down!

Get your ass over there,

I want to sit here.

Dog:
How can you enjoy

a show without popcorn.

Dog:
All right tightwad,

watch the master at work.

Dog:
Charity is a thing of the past.

Dog:
There's a female in here.

You're nuts.

Dog:
I tell you she's in here.

Where?

Where is she?

Wait a minute.

Come out here, I want to talk to you.

Lying egg sucker, I ought to kick

your tail up around your ears.

Expect me to believe you

can whiff her when there

ain't no other dog in the whole

joint that's caught her yet?

Dog:
Now you forget my

infallibility, Albert, that's foolish.

No I didn't forget, I

just don't believe it.

Where is she?

Knock it off.

How the hell can I see the picture?

Get them out of here,

sic the dogs on them.

Call off the dog...

Ok, all right I was dumb, you taught me

all I know, I believe

everything you say.

That wasn't her was it? Come on.

She might get away.

I'll buy you the popcorn.

Bottom line, you're a

brain with an educated

nose and there's no other

canine in your class.

Dog:
She's dressed like

a solo wearing a knit cap.

Where's the kid?

He's spending the night

with Johnny Lambert.

Oh, please, take me now.

Come on, get up. Not yet guys.

Damn it darling, cry!

Look what I found.

Okay? Which way did she go?

Dog:
To the right.

Come on.

Not Troy or Hitchcock.

That's it for tonight, shut 'her down.

That stupid broad.

She's in there where

the screamers hole up.

Dog:
They're not in there

now, she's in there alone.

Screamers.

Damn it.

How the hell am I going

to nail her in there?

Dog:
Simple, stop shaking like

a leaf and go in there and do it.

You sure it's clean?

Dog:
Albert, have I ever lied to you?

Go over there, and I'm going

to get one of them mats.

You make one move off there

and I'll shoot your leg

right out from under you.

and you'll still get it

except you'll be without a leg.

Well what are you looking at?
