12 Dogs of Christmas: Great Puppy Rescue Page #6

---

rains pennies from heaven

I'm in the show and

they still make me pay!

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

Wonderful to be here.

It's an honor

to be part of a show

that celebrates

the magic of Christmas

and is dedicated to

such a good cause.

And a special thanks to one of

Doverville's most notable citizens

and my good friend,

Mr. Finneas James,

who has made his fabulous theater

available for the performance.

Come up here, Finneas.

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

Well, if you'd like to

audition, or work backstage,

you can sign up over here

with us, come on.

Give me two. I'll take two.

Yeah.

WOMAN:

How nice of you, Mr. James.

MAN:
Thank you, Mr. James.

Thank you very much.

Why don't you have

a seat there, Thomas?

Sorry to make this

so unpleasant,

but it's time to sign

the farm over to me.

Just think of it as a Christmas

present to your family.

You know what I mean?

That a boy.

Now...

Always a pleasure.

(SIGHING)

Almost.

You know, even if you pay it

off, there's nothing left.

I'll rebuild it.

Mikey,

but the dogs are gone...

I'll get the dogs back.

You can't rebuild it,

Mikey, you...

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry, I didn't mean.

I just meant...

No.

That's exactly

what you meant.

This isn't what

your mother wants.

You haven't talked to

my mom in six years!

But I do know exactly

what she wants for you.

HOW?

I didn't know whether to

give this to you or not.

With the fire and all, but...

(SIGHS)

Wow.

I looked for it,

but I couldn't find

the money anywhere.

Do you think

it burned in the fire?

I don't know.

Well, if she wouldn't

keep it in the bank,

then where would she keep it?

Close to her heart?

(READING INDISTINCTLY)

((SIGHS);I-ls)

(FAINT WHIMPERING)

Hey there, guys,

what's going on?

Everything okay? Come here.

Good boy. What's going on?

(MUFFLED BARKING)

(DOGS BARKING)

Hey, guys. What are

you doing down here?

What you doing here?

I'll get you out of here.

Come on.

(WHINING)

You have made this

incredibly awkward for me.

How do you explain

such blatant disloyalty?

How about what's right?

Sometimes what's right and what's

legal can get a bit tangled.

You call burning down a barn

full of animals tangled?

(STUTTERING)

That was unfortunate, but that

had nothing to do with me.

Pluto Asper does what you...

Shut your mouth!

You're the one I'm

worried about right now.

Now we gonna

get past that.

And my dog racing track

gonna be obscenely profitable.

Now, you tell me

right now where we stand.

Where does that

leave us, son?

We win. We're doing the show.

We? We?

Now, I want you to be very careful about

where you choose to fall on your sword.

When was the last time you've ever

known me to lose at anything?

I want you to sit in there, and you

take this time to think about it.

You just think about exactly

who it is you think you are.

And me?

Well, I'm going to go see me

The 12 Dogs of Christmas.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

Hey-

Hey-

Have you seen Walker?

No, no, I actually

haven't seen him yet.

I think he went

to find the dogs.

(DOG WHIMPERING)

(NESSIE BARKING)

Nessie! Nessie! Come here! Nessie,

come here, girl! Come here.

Good girl.

Hi, how are you doing?

I'm sure

there'll be a Dalmatian.

Do you know what a good

man your daddy is?

How lucky you are he always

does the right thing?

Yeah.

You enjoy the show.

Nessie, Nessie, come!

Come here, Nessie. Come here.

Good girl. Come here.

Go find Mikey.

Go find Mikey.

(HONKING)

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

(CHEERING)

The 12 Dogs of Christmas

changed Doverville once.

And we hope

that it will again.

And I'd like to introduce

the girl who started it all,

and has once again found a way to

change our hearts. Miss Emma O'Connor.

And now,

it is with great pleasure

that we present

the new and spectacular...

(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING)

Nessie, Nessie.

The new and spectacular

Mr. Bing Crosby.

The 12 Days of Christmas was published

in England over 150 years ago...

Nessie, what is it?

What is it, girl?

How did she get away?

Walker's in trouble.

Wait, what's up?

(AUDIENCE SINGING ALONG)

A partridge in a pear tree

I know where he is.

You take care of the show, okay, Mikey?

This is your show.

She still calls you Mikey?

I'm sorry. Michael!

Michael, Michael, Michael.

Wait, I'm coming

with you!

She can call me

Mikey forever.
