NELSON:
The sole survivor

of last week's

colossal

bullet-train disaster,

a young boy named Atari,

awoke from a deep-coma

early this morning

to learn

of his parents' tragic deaths

and also the intention

of his distant-uncle,

Mayor Kobayashi,

to personally adopt him

as ward

to the mayoral-household.

Upon his release

from Megasaki General,

Atari who suffered the loss

of his right kidney

and numerous broken bones

in the crash

will live

in sequestered quarters

within the confines

of Brick Mansion,

where he will be educated

in solitude by private tutors.

Atari has also been assigned

a security-detail

for his own protection

in the form of a highly

trained bodyguard-dog

named Spots Kobayashi.

(MAJOR-DOMO SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Um, you're my new master.

My name is Spots.

I'm at your service.

I'll be protecting

your welfare and safety

on an ongoing-basis.

In other words:
I'm your dog.

(MAJOR-DOMO YELLS)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Bodyguard-dog! Not pet!

Oh, no.

You need a key.

Where'd you get that?

What? I always had this.

I stole it

off the dead skeleton.

(GASPS) Oh, no.

Hey! The wrong dog died!

The wrong dog died!

(SHOUTS)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(PANTING)

The wrong...

The wrong dog died.

He's not Spots.

Who is that?

(SNIFFING)

I can't smell him.

This is child abuse.

Chief, you fight

the robot-dog.

Wait. What?

King, Duke, Boss? You attack

the three dog-catchers.

KING:
On it.

I'll guard the little pilot.

On my command. Ready?

Wait a second!

I am not gonna fight

this robot!

I'm against the little pilot,

remember?

I don't even believe

in masters.

You're the best in a scrap.

We all know that.

You like to fight.

Well, let's take a vote.

All in favor of Chief

fighting the robot-dog,

say "Aye".

- ALL:
Aye.

- Nay.

Sic 'em.

(BARKING CONTINUES)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(ALARM BLARING)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

My ward, Atari,

has been kidnapped

against his will

by a pack of disobedient,

contagious, infected animals.

He will be rescued promptly,

returned to safety,

and grounded for the duration
