The Shaggy D.A. Page #4

- Hi.

- Hi, darling.

You're acting like Sarah Bernhardt

starring in "Housekeeping Can Be Fun".

We do not eat junk foods

in this house between meals.

- Since when?

- Since we're gonna be on TV.

Which tie do you like?

The navy blue or the navy blue?

- The navy blue.

- Thank you.

You're not going to wear that shirt

on the show.

Brian, change your shirt.

- Change your shirt.

- [Radio] Prescott Museum robbery.

The exact value of the ring

has not been determined.

You could use that in your...

...it was one of the museum's

most valuable pieces.

If I get cauliflower ear,

it's gonna be your fault.

Wilby, what's wrong?

That could be the Borgia ring

they stole.

The Borgia ring?

It's the one that...

- Brian, why aren't you in school?

- It's summer vacation.

Go straighten your room up, OK?

I straightened it up last month.

Then change your shirt like Mom...

Because I said so.

Rejections will make me grow up

to be inhibited and a non-achiever,

and it'll be his fault.

- Just say it.

- I'm not sure you'd understand.

- I'll understand.

- I'm really not so sure...

You'd understand.

When I was a teenager, I...

accidentally took an old ring

from the Prescott Museum.

There was a strange

Latin inscription on it.

Like what?

I'd rather not say.

Anyway, when I found the ring

at home, I...

I read the inscription a couple times...

And?

And I turned into a dog.

[Laughs] Oh, Wilby.

There was a big shaggy dog next door,

and I became that dog.

Wilby, uh...

are you sure you're feeling all right?

I knew I shouldn't have told you.

I'm glad you did because sometimes,

we let little things nag at us

when it's nothing.

Do you realize if someone reads that

inscription I could turn into a dog?

I love that tie on you.

It just brings out

the color in your eyes.

Did you hear what I said?

Yes, I did.

We're just going to pretend

that you never said it.

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

Me?

Forgive me, but might I have

a moment of your time?

Allow me to introduce myself.

Dr. Sturdivant,

on sabbatical from the Sorbonne.

Oh, I'm Tim, the ice cream man

from Dolly Dixon's.

I seem to have overextended myself

in my travels

and I find that I'm temporarily

financially embarrassed.

- If you know what I mean.

- No.

Therefore, I am forced to part

with this family heirloom

at a fraction of its real value.

Oh.

It's a ring.

Very discerning of you, sir.

It's also a princely relic of antiquity.

Yeah? Is it?

Gee, I wonder if Katrinka'd like that.

Katrinka?

Katrinka Muggelberg.

She's in pies down at Dolly's.

This is her right here.

She's captain

of the Southside Steamrollers.

Cute little thing, isn't she?
