Rufus Page #2

Synopsis: Manny has moved to a new school, and it's not easy to fit in. After wishing he had more friends, Manny finds a mysterious collar and puts it on Rufus, the family dog. Suddenly, Rufus turns into a boy! Manny's not sure what to do, so he enrolls Rufus in school. When the other students notice Rufus's silly dog antics -- chasing squirrels, eating without utensils, asking for belly rubs, and catching a frisbee with his mouth -- he immediately becomes the most popular kid around. Manny is jealous of his new best friend but eventually learns that a dog's loyalty to his owner always comes first.

you could take to school, right?

Well, here I am,

your best friend, right?

So take me to school already.

I guess I could pass you

off as a normal kid.

Would it work?

Yeah, I'm very normal.

Wait!

Where... where...

Where's my tail?

Wait, wait, where's my tail?

How... how will I

know when I'm happy?

I can give you the thumbs-up.

Problem solved.

These people furs are tight.

Why do you guys wear these?

If we don't wear pants,

we end up in the people kennel.

What?

Here.

These might fit you better.

Catch.

Later, Mom and Dad.

Don't wanna be late

on my second day.

Love school.

Bye. Yeah, later, Mom and Dad.

Shh!

Okay, we made it out okay.

But if you're gonna

be a normal boy,

you gotta start acting like one.

I can be normal, Manny.

Hey, Larry!

What's up?

How's it going, man?

Yeah...

All right, all right,

sniff you later.

FYI, the generic kidney and

trout you're feeding Larry

is giving him gas.

Um, good to know.

Spend a buck.

I'm sorry.

That's what I'm talking about.

Sorry, Larry.

I've been watching you

for years, Manny.

Dog years... do you

know how long that is?

I can be normal...

A squirrel, a squirrel!

Squirrel!

I want the squirrel,

I'm gonna get you!

Just get away, just get away!

Dude, you're human

now, get a grip.

You don't get it, Manny.

It's a squirrel.

Buddy, I get it, okay,

but why do dogs hate

squirrels so much anyway?

If only you knew the evil

behind their bushy tails.

The stories I could tell you.

The things dogs have seen.

This is gonna work but

you gotta blend in.

Okay, no chasing squirrels,

just don't be weird.

Okay?

Rufus?

You're not doing

what I think you're

doing, are you?

What, aren't we

going for a walk?

This is what I always do

when we go for a walk.

Seriously?

Did you not bring a bag?

This is awkward.

Your cousin.

Yes, he's, visiting...

from somewhere for,

I don't know how long.

You have cats, don't you?

I smell cats, do you smell cats?

Seems weird.

But they don't pay

me enough to care.

Okay, Rufus, sit.

I meant in a chair.

I'm not allowed to sit on

the furniture at home.

Okay.

Watch Movies And Series!

So... What?

We were talking about

themes of transformation

in Kafka's "Metamorphosis."

You are hilarious, dog.

Thanks but I'm not a dog.

I'm a human boy.

With squirrels, the

key is to get it

before it gets in the tree

'cause once they're in

the tree, it's over.

What's up?

Well, see you later, Rufus.

What's your name again?

Manny.

Right, Marty.

Dude, your cousin is awesome.

Catch you guys later.

Okay, later.

And it's Manny.

Did I do good?

Yeah, really good, Rufus.

So we can play ball now?

No.

We've got more classes.
