Dude, I got a arm!

Yeah! Righteous!

Well, I won't back down

No, I won't back down

You can stand me up

at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground

Won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world

from dragging me down

Gonna stand my ground

Good evening, ladies.

Sorry to call on you

so late in the evening,

but we did have a previous engagement.

Now, we're gonna take six of you.

Anyone makes a sound,

we don't mind the extra company.

Boys, take your pick.

You won't be taking any hens tonight.

And you're gonna stop us?

Is that what's gonna happen?

Are you gonna stop us, hen?

How are you gonna do that?

No, he is.

Ben. How are you, Ben?

We would've said hello,

had we seen you.

Put the hen down, Dag.

Sure, Ben. Whatever you say.

We're just doing a little courting,

that's all.

You know how much we like the hens.

You know me, ladykiller.

You have us

at a bit of a disadvantage here, Ben.

There's six of us,

and only one old, fat you.

Oh, baby! Party time!

Otis!

Otis!

Otis! Otis!

It's Ben.

Oh, no. No, no.

Yeah. You hang on there, buddy.

All right now, Otis. Just lift.

Ten and two. Ten and two.

Not like that. Now lift, and two.

You dog!

Come here, fisherman.

What do we do now? Who's gonna

protect us from the coyotes?

Anybody got a pistol?

Order, here! Hey, am I bothering you?

Let's get this meeting started.

- Duke, who's gonna run the meeting?

- That's what the meeting's about.

The meeting's about

finding someone to run the meeting?

Is that a good idea?

We should take a meeting about it.

Someone has to do this.

We don't have Ben.

Therefore, I would like

to nominate myself.

Dogs are... Listen to me.

Dogs are watchful,

they're loyal, and very protective.

And they lick themselves.

I don't want a leader who licks himself.

- Me, neither.

- That's nasty.

I can't even reach mine.

I don't do that.

Anymore.

One time, I was bored,

lonely, and a little snackish.

Yeah, I saw you drink

out of a toilet once.

- Hey, you drink potty water.

- You drink potty water!

My bowl was empty, my friend.

Come on, we're getting off track here.

Duke, with all respect,

I think there are certain traits

that would make you unqualified

to be leader.

Yeah, such as?

Your point?

Hey, come on, I do that for fun,

not 'cause I have to. Go on!

So, big deal. I fetch balls.

One little flaw.

This doesn't mean anything.

All right, all right, let's take a vote.

Come on, let's take a vote here.

All those in favor

of me being the new leader.

Those opposed?

- Can you see my hand?

- Listen now, listen up.

You all know that Ben always

intended for Otis to take his place.

All right, Otis is in charge.
