Rufus Page #3

Synopsis: Manny has moved to a new school, and it's not easy to fit in. After wishing he had more friends, Manny finds a mysterious collar and puts it on Rufus, the family dog. Suddenly, Rufus turns into a boy! Manny's not sure what to do, so he enrolls Rufus in school. When the other students notice Rufus's silly dog antics -- chasing squirrels, eating without utensils, asking for belly rubs, and catching a frisbee with his mouth -- he immediately becomes the most popular kid around. Manny is jealous of his new best friend but eventually learns that a dog's loyalty to his owner always comes first.

Man...

He's got a ball!

Ball, ball, ball, ball...

Here, boy!

Squirrel!

Squirrel!

Hey, don't go behind that tree!

I got you, I got you!

It's just a squirrel.

So you're telling me there's

no sign of that amulet?

I'm sorry, Mr. Black,

but we've searched everywhere.

I have devoted countless years

to finding that amulet,

unthinkable sums of money...

I will not give up!

Okay.

But it's gonna take a miracle.

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa!

Sorry, sorry!

My friend here has

a real problem

with squirrels. Hey.

Hey, what's that? Rufus, wait!

A miracle indeed.

Dude, dude, you gotta

rein that in, okay?

Squirrels are not worth

getting run over for.

Squirrels are evil, Manny.

They have big plans,

terrible plans,

plans humans couldn't

even comprehend.

Sure, okay, right, evil

squirrels, whatever.

Tell you what, I'm hungry.

How about a snack,

okay, your choice?

Really?

I love Power Puppy

Kibble so much.

Okay, whatever, if you

want Power Puppy,

I'll buy you Power Puppy.

Sweet!

Paige!

Kittens!

I love kittens!

All dogs secretly do.

The problem are cats.

I hate cats.

Quiet.

Maybe she'll see us.

Who? Paige.

She's a girl from my school.

I met her on my first day.

So she's a friend. Not exactly.

I mean, I'd like her to

be but I'm afraid...

Hey, Paige!

What are you doing?

Well, you said you wanted

her to be your friend.

Paige, over here!

Hi, Paige.

No, no, no, bad, Rufus.

I'm Rufus. Hi.

You go to my school, right?

You're Manny's cousin. Right.

I wanted to let you know

that Manny's afraid to...

Afraid I'm covered in kittens.

So cute.

Yeah, you think that...

before they dig their claws in.

So, what's the news at school?

Any big scoops coming up?

Page one is you two.

From out of nowhere,

you guys are

the two most popular

dudes in school.

Okay, popular twins,

catch you later.

My goldfish gets grumpy

when it's hungry.

Later.

You are the best wingman ever.

I have no idea what

you're talking about.

I don't have wings.

It just means if you

look good, I look good.

It's win-win. It means good.

The point is you rock.

The target is coming your way.

We're ready.

Thanks to you, I've got

the town eating out of

the palm of my hand.

I love eating out of

the palm of your hand.

Know what we're doing today?

Chase squirrels.

Yes, we're gonna chase

some squirrels.

What a... What a great idea.

I got this.

Why am I the only one

who wants to do that?

I feel like... I feel

like you don't get me.

I smell garbage.

Idiot.

Manny, did you know about this?

The dance.

Yeah.

They used my suggestion.

They're going to the dogs.

I guess Paige really sold it.

Awesome!

She's the best.
