Rock Dog Page #3

and you're going to hand over

that noisemaker,

and we're going to pretend

this never happened! Agreed?

I'll take your silence as a yes.

(guitar music playing)

Whoo! Yeah!

Uh-huh!

Yeah!

(exclaims, laughs)

I like it loud I like it tight

I like them banging

on the beat all night

(Bodi whooping)

That's the way that I like it

That's the way that I like it

That's the way that I like

my rock and roll

That's the way that I like it

Hey, he's not bad, huh?

I think they call folks like him

"savants."

And it's going to lead

to trouble sooner or later.

My guess is sooner.

(scatting)

I like the bear barking up on top

Beat of the rhythm like

it's never gonna stop

(trails off)

(growls softly) That boy is really

starting to steam my clams.

Say, isn't he old enough to take the post?

Yeah he is, Floyd,

but he just doesn't take it seriously.

Not since that thing fell out of the sky.

Now it's all rock this and roll that.

- And some guy named Dingus.

- Yeah,

I guess I was a little like that

at his age.

Had no interest in being a barber.

Had my heart set on astrophysics.

That is until my dad

showed me... The Book.

- The Book?

- Hang on a sec.

The Book.

Real pictures of what can happen

if sheep go too long without grooming.

KHAMPA:
Huh... Huh!

(Khampa gasps)

- Tell me when you've seen enough.

-(exclaims)

Yep, one look at this scared me straight.

I began my apprenticeship the next day

and never looked back.

"Scared straight." Huh.

Maybe that's what Bodi needs.

- Hey, you wanna borrow The Book?

- No, Floyd.

I think I've got a better idea.

(guitar music playing)

KHAMPA:
Bodi!

Bodi! Open this door, son!

-(Bodi grunting)

-KHAMPA:
Oh, no, you don't!

BODI:
I can't help it, Dad.

The music's in me. It's in me!

Angus says it's like a fever

that takes hold and never lets you go.

You disappoint me, son.

Okay, this is your post.

Get used to it. See you at dawn.

- Sunrise?

- Yes! Dawn! Sunrise!

First thing in the morning!

- End of the night! Come on!

- Oh. Okay.

(sighs)

(laughing)

(static crackles)

Ow!

(static crackles)

Ow! (laughs)

(both laughing)

Fellas, come on, knock it off.

-SHEEP:
Wolf!

-(sheep 2 shrieks) Wolf!

KHAMPA:
Shh. Settle down guys,

it's me. It's me!

-See?

-(sheep panting)

Why are you dressed up like a wolf?

Wow, seriously?

You've all forgotten the plan?

I specifically picked you three

because you're

the best and the brightest.

- Yeah, for sheep.

- Aah!

All right, just put these on.

SHEEP:
Hey, look.

- Wolf's eating my head.

-(laughing)

KHAMPA:
There's nothing funny about that.

Okay, Bodi's in position.

On my signal,

we give him the scare of his life.

That was the signal.
