Teacher's Pet Page #4

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.

- Spot?

- Did you just say Spot?

No, Mrs. Helperman,

he said Scott!

As in Scott Leadready ll,

your old pal from back home!

Who'da thunk it

and fancy meeting me here.

He's good.

Oh, Scott, I've missed you.

Really, Mrs. H? How much?

Enough to take me

on the rest of your trip...

to sunny southern Florida?

Heh heh!

- Could we, Mom?

- Well, of course not, honey.

Scott's obviously traveling

with his family.

What family? Oh! My family!

Sure, I'm traveling

with my family.

My whole family-

Mom, sis, Grandma...

Uncle Jojo, the ventriloquist,

his dummy Floyd-

My family!

Ooh, I love 'em!

I love 'em, but darn the luck,

wouldn't you know...

they can't go to Florida,

because-because why?

There's been an emergency?

Good. I mean,

it's a good emergency.

The kind where

they all have to go home...

but I can still

go to Florida with you.

Which is the good part,

so, come on, let's hit the road!

Well, hmm, I'd certainly

need to discuss it...

with your mother first.

Oy, you don't make this easy.

She'll meet you

right over there.

Slhe just. ulh.

Ihas to get dnessed.

Ooh, jeez!

What I have to go through

to become a real live boy!

Ooh!

SPO T. Wlhy. Many Lou Helpenman!

Hello and Ihalleloo!

Ha ha ha!

If you weren't just sent

from heaven above...

to take our dear

little Scott to Flor-

I'm sorry to interrupt,

Mrs. Leadready...

but do you want to hear

the funniest thing?

I brought that exact

same dress on this trip.

Oh, that is funny.

You're a stitch!

Anyway, back to poor Scott.

He so desperately wants

to go to Florida.

And I believe I packed that

same shade of lipstick, too!

Really? What a coinkidink!

Anyway, as I was saying-

And those earrings

look awfully familiar.

Are you gonna take him or not?!

Darlin'.

Well, gee, shouldn't we check

with the rest of your family?

Oy. The rest of my-

I'll see

who's round the corner!

Yeah, yeah, I tell ya-

Thanks, gals.

Missus, please take Scott...

to sunny southern Florida...

so I can have some peace

from all his merciless teasing!

Young lady, I missed my chance

to see Florida...

when I was the boy's age...

and look what a bitter old woman

I turned out to be!

You must be Scott's-

I can't talk to you!

I'm too bitter!

Hoity-toity-toity-toity-toi.

An' 'tis wishin' I am

that some fine soul...

would take me Scotty boy

to Florida.

Uncle Jojo the ventriloquist?

'Tis!

And where's your dummy Floyd?

Great St. Patty's shillelagh!

The little leprechaun

must be around here somewhere.

OK, you be Floyd.

- Me? I don't know what to do!

- Just shut up and act dumb!

- What?

- Perfect!

Mrs. Helperman,

meet dummy Floyd.

Take our Scott, please!

Oh, ha ha ha!
