Teacher's Pet Page #3

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.

the neuro-electrical,

photo-pulsar-based...

methodology to isolate

the genome on the dna strand...

which will allow me

to transform dumb animals...

into dumb human beings-

just like you!

Wow, it's my dream come true!

AUDIENCE.

Wacko! Wacko! Wacko!

Wacko! Wacko! Wacko!

No! You are the wackos...

if you don't believe

that the possibilities...

for change in this world

are infinite!

And I'll prove it!

As soon as I find

the perfect animal subject...

to turn into

a real live human being!

Me, Dr. Krank, me!

Hey, smart boy,

let me explain how TV works.

We can hear them,

but they can't hear us.

I've got to meet that man.

He's the one chance

I have to finally make...

my lifelong dream come true!

But he's all the way

in Florida...

where Leonard and his mom

are headed right now!

What a coinkidink.

Coinkidink, Mr. Jolly?

Coinkidink?

That I just happened

to lay on that clicker...

and change to that channel

and see that miracle man...

who just happens

to live in Florida...

where Leonard and his mom just

happen to be going as we speak?

Coinkidink, Mr. Jolly...

or fate?

Cover for me with

the pet-sitter, guys.

I'm goin' to Florida!

Aah! Cover with the pet-sitter?

But how? We have no experience!

And we have no time to prepare!

Oh, dear me!

Oh, this is bad.

This is very bad.

How will we ever

pull it off? Oh!

La la la la

Ooh!

Oh, mercy, Spot!

I almost sat on you!

Do you love mommy?

I think we can handle it.

Come on, Leonard,

let's play a game.

"20 questions. "

I'll start. Here's your hint.

It's someone you love.

What? Spot?

Wow, good guess!

No, I saw him!

With my own eyes!

Oh, you want to play that game.

Ha ha ha!

All righty,

I spy with my little eye-

Spot!

No, come on, honey, Spot can't

be the answer every time.

Mom, you gotta stop!

Ooh, ooh, you're right.

We do. We need gas.

OK, you fill 'er up, sweetie.

I've got to go powder my nose.

Cleanliness is next

to godliness...

but gas station bathrooms

are not.

Spot? Spot? Where are you?

Oh, no...

Lose something, bunky?

Spot! Ha!

You're OK!

I can't believe it!

What are you doing here?

I had to come, Lenny!

How could I stay away?

I just love you so much and

wanted to be with you so bad.

A friend needs a friend.

A boy needs a dog.

OK, I also need a lift

to Florida...

for my own self-serving

reasons...

but why spoil

this beautiful moment with that?

I love ya!

I want to be with ya!

Mmm, give us another hug!

Oh, Spot, good ol' boy!

Hey, wait a second.

Are you crazy?

You heard what

Principal Strickler said...

about no dogs

in his Wentawaygo.

And here comes my mom

right now!

What are we gonna do, Spot?
