- What are you doing?

- Stay back!

If I stare at the lock really hard,

it'll burst into flames and melt.

Now I'm concerned on a number of levels.

- Easy, watch! Watch it those!

- I'm good. We gotta go.

Intruders!

Hey! Slow down you screwy

borrowed of mind...

- Oh, boy, this thing is heavy.

- Hey, hey! Put it down.

I forgot the keys.

I'll be right back.

Hey, lucky Penny.

Thanks. Now move your butt.

Okay, just upon your left.

Yeah. I got... No, I got, I got mine.

You got it?

It's on tipping my tongue.

I know that dog.

I'm telling you, Joey. Bobby, you guys looking

at me like, you don't know. I'm telling you...

...I know this dog.

I've seen him somewhere.

You remember it tonight,

when you're perching.

Alright, that's...

That's will happen.

- I've got some good news!

- Really?

Yes, I do. I just booked you,

on the tonight show's "main guest"!

That's right. That, I mean...

...which means just absolutely nothing,

if Bolt is still missing.

It's not even a good news, like whatever,

so up tonight show. Who cares? I don't care.

It's okay, baby.

- He must be so scared.

- Scared? This is Bolt we're talking about.

He's not scared of anything.

I bet Bolt would want

you to the tonight show.

It is...

I just... or maybe not.

Bolt loves you very much sweety.

And you're here.

He couldn't have gone far.

Welcome to Ohio.

So much to Discover!

So, if you got super powers,

I guess that would make you, what...

...like some kind a super dog?

- That information is classified.

Oh, come on!

Like, what's your best power?

You go to move.

How about flying? Can you fly?

Don't be silly, I can't fly.

Okay, okay, fine.

If you don't have any powers,...

...you don't have any powers.

What's it to me?

- I have super bark.

- A super bark? Wow, you're kidding me?

What exactly this one do

with the super bark?

I really can't talk about it.

It's classified.

I suggest you pipe down

and take me to Penny.

You're awfully attached

to this Penny character, huh wags?

- She is my person.

- Oh, please. She's a person.

And if you ask me,

the only good person is a...

Styrofoam!

Tag and roll!

Tag and what?

What? What is this red liquid

coming from my paw?

It's called blood, hero!

- Do I need it?

- Yes.

So if you want it to keep inside

your body where it belongs,...

...you should stop jumping off trucks

doing eighty on the interstate!

Yeah, well, normally I'm a tad more

indestructible. Must have been the...

Styrofoam!

That stuff, it weakens me!

- What are you doing? Put that down!

- Alright, that's it. I've had with you.

Untie me, pooch or I'm gonna... I'm gonna...

Uhmm... I'm gonna seriously wound you!

I'm gonna seriously wound you

with this styrofoam!

Are you mad? You don't know

the power of styrofoam!

Oh, you bet on that, baby.

And I'm about to unleash it!

- The power of the styrofoam!

- No!

Alright, cat. Okay, you win.

I'll untie you.

That's a weird push

to put a piano!

- Are we gonna have any more problems, cat?

- No, no, no. No more problems.

I'll take you to Penny.

Ah! What is that?

- What?

- That!

Okay, you have two seconds to tell me

what you've implanted in me, cat!

Poison? A parasite? Poison?

Wait, I just said that, didn't I?

See, I'm all discombobulated!

I can't think straight!

Oh, I don't believe this.

You're hungry!

- Where is the antidote?

- Okay, okay! Alright!

There's your antidote...

Food!

Alright! Who wants burgers?

- I'll take one.

- Me too!

Watch this!

Go on, use the dog face.

This gonna be beatiful.

You know, beg.

Do the dog face!

What? The dog face?

What is that mean?

Figures, I'm tied to the one dog on earth

who doesn't know how to beg, huh.

Okay, if you want the food...

...the antidote, you're gonna

have to do exactly what I say.

No, not likely. You're a degenerate

creature of darkness.

Yeah, yeah, granted but that's it.

All I'm asking you to do is

just tilt your head a little.

You could do that, can't you?

Come on.

- More, more...

- This is stupid.

No, no. Come on. Work with on this.

Please, you're almost there.

Oh, boy!

Okay, try the other way.

There you go! Tilt up! Down.

Now, a little smile. Lose the smile.

Drop your left ear. Your other left.

Okay, the other way was better.

Now, drop them both.

Hold it right there.

And ever so slightly, look up.

Soup is on, baby!

Here you go.

Yes!

Oh, look at you, you little guy!

Here you stupid cat!

...what really happened.

And why is that matter to you?

- Because I'm involved.

- With rich?

- With James.

- If you and James are romantic...

...I wanna know all about it.

- What? So you can...

Come undone!

You gonna get stop that leaking!

Go Larry, go Larry, go Larry! Stop!

It really does help and it really

releases the serotonin and...

Hey, man! This time

we'll do it my way!

Well, hello puppy. Did you come for some

of grandma's butter bean dumplings?

You wait right there.

Look at you.

You're quite a little actor, huh?

I haven't eating like this in ages.

Hey, look! My stomach distended.

How great is that!

Yeah, well. Don't get used to it.

We gotta keep moving.

But this place is a gold mine.

What's wrong with you?

Every week, new RVs bring us

new suckers, who bring us new food.

Look around! It's perfect.

Do my eyes deceive me? Is this

some apparition I see before real?

Or could it be?

My hero!

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my gosh!

You're Bolt, the super dog.

You're fully awesome.

Wait a minute.

You know this dog?

- Oh, I do. He is fully awesome!

- Ah, yeah, yeah. We've established that.

- Who are you?

- I'm Rhino.

Rhino, the hamster?

Well, you know, my ancestry

isn't all hamster. I'm 1,16% wolf...

...with a yellow wolverine

and there is some...

But that beside the point!

We have before us a legend.

Bolt, the super dog!

You can outrun speeding missiles, and burn

through solid metal with his heat vision.

And best of all, he can obliterate

large structures with his super bark!

Wait a minute,

you've seen the super bark?

- Have you been observing me?

- Oh, yeah. I watch you all the time.

- That's incredible.

- Oh, it's nothing, really.

But I'm always so vigilant!

No one can avoid my detection!

- You are a phantom.

- Ah, if you say so...

Oh, hey! Check it out!

Take a gander at this Bolt action.

Scary, huh?

- It's like, we're twins.

- Yeah, scary.

- So, where is Penny?

- She was kidnapped by the green-eyed man.

Kidnapped? This is terrible!

She could be in grave...

Grave danger. I know.

But I've captured this cat.

An agent of the green-eyed man,

I presume!

You presumed correctly.

She is taking me to Penny.

You! You are a vile vermin.

How did you sleep at night?

Penny is the most wonderful person ever.

She loves Bolt and he is awesome.

And you're a monster!

How dare you disrupt

their relationship with your evil!

- Die! Die!

- Whoa! Whoa!

I can take her Bolty.

- Die! Die!

- Easy, easy, Rhino. Easy.

You're right,
