Teacher's Pet Page #2

Synopsis: Leonard is a 4th grader; his mother, Mrs. Mary Lou Helperman, is his teacher, and has been nominated for a teaching award. They plan a trip to Florida for the finals, but need to leave their dog, Spot, behind. Unknown to Mrs. Helperman, Spot has been masquerading as a boy, Scott, who is her star pupil. Spot wants nothing more than to be a real boy, and sees a way to this when mad scientist Ivan Krank appears on the Barry Anger show. Krank thinks he can turn animals into humans. Conveniently, his lab is right down the street from where the Helpermans are staying, so Spot, as Scott (and the rest of his family) convinces Mary Lou to take him along. Spot becomes a man, but discovers it's not everything he ever dreamed of after all.

of competition...

in beautiful sunny

southern Florida!

Florida!

And the fun doesn't end there,

Mary Lou Helperman.

Oh, no. Because

you'll be travelling...

to the Sunshine State

in the luxury...

of my very own personal

air-conditioned Wentawaygo!

Yes, it's all yours.

Mi Wentawaygo

es su Wentawaygo.

I only have one, uh, heh,

little, tiny, very simple rule-

Certainly, Principal Strickler.

Absolutely no dogs are allowed

in my Wentawaygo, ever!

I Ihate dogs!

Well, I guess this is

the time to say good-bye.

Oh, come on,

don't make it harder.

Don't give me

those big, sad dog eyes.

They're the only eyes

I got, Leonard.

The eyes of a dog-

a dog who's not going anywhere.

Just staying home...

by himself...

here... alone!

The dog.

But you're not

going to be alone.

You've got Pretty Boy

and Jolly...

and Mrs. Boogin's the nicest

pet-sitter in the whole world.

And besides,

it's only for two weeks.

Yeah, in boy-time, two weeks...

but everything in dog-time

is seven times longer...

so for me it's fourteen weeks.

It might as well be forever.

Man, this really stinks.

You should smell it

from down here.

OK, just two weeks,

then I'm back...

and it's you and me,

best friends...

together, all summer long.

Aw, jeez, you're gonna sing now,

aren't you?

I know it's been said

Oh, boy.

Everyone needs someone

This is not making it better.

A loyal companion

To share in life's fun

You're killing me here.

For a day at the park

Or a game of leapfrog

Sing it with me, Spot.

I thought you'd never ask.

A friend needs a friend

A boy needs a dog

Leonard! Come on,

Lenny-bones, hop in!

Let's skit-skat-skedoodle!

Florida's not gonna

come to us, you know?

Mwah!

Bye, Spotty-wots!

Be a good doggie!

Whoa!

Don't forget your sun block.

John?

MAN ON TV. Mancia?

- Jolhn!

- Mancia!

Yawn! Mush-a!

- Jolhn?

- Mancia?

You stupid people

with no lives...

are watching

"The Barry Anger Show"!

- Aah!

- Aah!

Hi, I'm Barry Anger...

and today on the hot seat,

we have Dr. Ivan Krank...

a world-class wacko who-

get this-

claims he can turn animals

into human beings!

Huh? Turn animals

into human beings?

My dream come true!

Oh, now, how did this trash

get on my TV?

Where's my clicker?

Oh, for goodness sakes,

where did I put that?

Hey!

Oh, silly me, I must have

left it in the kitchen.

Well, good excuse to get

us all some more yummies!

Moochie poochie!

God love her for the food,

but that woman is definitely...

a couple of caraways

short of a seed bell.

Shh! Look!

Direct from Florida,

where the cuckoo nuts grow...

the world's biggest wacko,

Dr. Ivan Krank!

I am not a wacko!

I am a man of science,

who has perfected...
