Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey Page #2

[ Chance Snickering ]

Cats are smarter than dogs, huh? Right.

- She doesn't even know the meaning of the word "stay. "

- No. Stay there!

The savage beast spots

his unsuspecting victim.

Slowly he sneaks

through the tall grass.

- [ Sassy ] Don't even.!

- Moving in for the ambush.

- Keep away from me, you mutt!

- He runs. He leaps!

Yes!

[ Screeching ]

[ Sassy ]

Oooh!

My poor baby!

Are you all right?

[ Sassy ]

He threw me in the big litter box!

- Nice shot, Chance.

- That's why they call it the catapult.

- [ Shadow ] You got a lot to learn, pup.

- [ Sassy ] Call the vet!

I'm telling Mom what

your stupid dog did!

[ Sassy ] I've never in my life!

I think my fur is falling out!

- [ Sassy ] I'm losing my fur.!

- Hey, it's time to hit the road, guys!

I wanna get going

before it gets too late.

[ Shadow ]

Luggage? Why luggage?

[ Retching ]

I think... I need to eat some grass.

- [ Vomiting ]

- Ew!

That's Grandma's cake!

Yuck!

Come on, Shadow.

[ Chance ]

I learned an important lesson that day. '

Cake and polyester don't mix.

You know, I was actually starting to

like doing things with the whole family.

They weren't so bad,

for people.

They were all so happy together.

Shadow, and even Sassy, seemed happy.

I was beginning to think

that maybe this time...

with this family, things were

gonna be different, better.

Ta-da! Bat dog!

Well, if it isn't

the newlyweds!

Hi, kids.!

- Hi! Oh!

- Hi!

- [ Kate ] How was the wedding?

- [ Chance ] Excuse me. Comin' through. Look out.

[ Sniffing ] Whoa, this place

is a smellorama. Hallelujah!

- I've died and gone to Kentucky! [ Barking ]

- [ Cackling ]

- Wish I could've made it.

- We wish you could've been there.

- Hey, you! Congratulations!

- Thanks.

- [ Chance Barking ]

- I don't know how to thank you enough for what you're doin'.

The more the merrier. I just have to

take that one short trip I told you about.

- You're going away?

- I help drive the horses to winter grazing every year.

- Just for a couple of days.

- Who's gonna take care of Shadow and-

My neighbor, Frank. He always

watches the animals while I'm gone.

Don't worry. He's very trustworthy.

Do you have a minute to come in?

Wish we could, but we

got a long way to go.

[Jamie ]

Chance! Come here, boy! Chance!

[ Barking ]

This is Miss Kate, Sassy.

She's a nice lady and

she'll take good care of you.

- Won't you?

- Yes, ma'am.

[ Meow ]

[Jamie ]

Chance.! Come here, boy.! Chance.!

[ Meow ]

Grrr! Grrr!

Hey, gimme that Frisbee!

Here. Good boy, Chance.

- How far can you throw that Frisbee?

- Pretty far.

- Can you throw as far as that field over there?

- Maybe you better do it.

[ Growling ]

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey.! Now look what you did.

You let it escape.

[ Chance ] Don't worry.

I'll wrestle it to the ground...

and chew it up so good it'll

never fly away again. [ Chuckles ]

I hope he doesn't

forget me.

Okay!

- I'm gonna miss you so much.

- I know.

I know you're sad.

I wish I knew why.

We'll be back to visit

next week, okay? I promise.

[ Shadow ]

What's wrong?

[ Laura ]

Peter! It's time!

[ Shadow ] Don't worry, Peter.

I'm here to protect you.

Be a good dog.

- Stay.

- [ Shadow ] Stay?

- [ Sassy ] Hope, where are you going?

- Good-bye, Hope. Bye-bye.

All right, all right, all right.

Easy on the fur coat.

I got it! I got it! It was crafty,

all right, but I-Jamie?

Jamie?

Peter. Wait.

Stay.

Oh, no, not this.

Shadow? Chance?

- Come on, fellas.!

- [ Whining ]

Come on!

[ Meow ]

Come on, guys. We're gonna be back

for a visit in a couple weeks.

I thought we'd

be back next week.

Yeah, Mom. I told Shadow

I'd see him next weekend.

- Oh, honey, they don't know the difference.

- Yes, they will.

- You know we can't come back every weekend.

- Two weeks then.

It can't be any

longer, okay?

Okay. Two weeks.

It's a deal.

- Cross your heart?

- Cross my heart.

I just don't understand.

Who are you gonna get

to watch over you?

Who's gonna wait for you

to come home from school?

Who's gonna sleep

at the foot of your bed?

You'll come back.

I know

you'll come back.

[ Sighs ]

[ Clanging ]

- [ Barking ]

- Chance!

- [ Barking ]

- Come on, boy.! Come and get it.!

- [ Chance Barking ]

- Hey, Shadow, come on. Breakfast time.

- Come on. That's a boy.

- [ Barking ]

Hey, which of you guys are regular

and which are extra-crispy?

[ Meows ]

[ Dog Food Hitting Pan ]

Hey, I know that noise.

Kibble.!

Come on.

Breakfast time.

[ Chance ]

Kibble, kibble, kibble.!

- Gimme some! Kibble, kibble, kibble...

- No! Get down, Chance!

- Kibble, kibble, kibble, kibble-

- No! Ow! Ow! Chance!

- Where's the kibble?

- There you go. Here you go, Chance.

[ Meowing ]

Oh, Sassy!

I'm sorry!

Ooh! My beautiful tail!

Sorry, baby. Okay, look,

here's your breakfast.

See? Here we go.

All right,

it's your turn. Okay.

- You're supposed to warm it up.

- Come on, girl. I'm so sorry.

- Come on. Okay, come on.

- It's cold.

Well, don't expect

a big tip from me.

I feel I'm going

to be sick.

Hey, hey, stop.!

That's mine.!

[ Gulp ]

Yeah, well, you snooze, you lose.

Ooh! Canines!

- [ Braying ]

- Whoa! You sick or what?

- [ Quacking ]

- Hey, bath toys! Oh, oh! That's cold!

Come on, come on. I'm not gonna hurt

you. I just wanna chew on your neck.

[ Sniffing ]

Whoa! What was that?

- [ Grunting ]

- Whoa.! What a pig.!

- Hey, what happened to your fur?

- [ Loud Grunting ]

Excuse me, but I'm

the new chicken monitor here.

You gotta fix this dog door.

It's a little small.

I'm afraid I may have left

a very important bone here.

- Here we go.! Look out.!

- [ Cackling ]

Ho.! I got ya.! Whoa.!

Whoa! What the-

- [ Gobbling ]

- Help! It's Birdzilla!

- I swear I'll never eat a McNugget again!

- [ Gobbling ]

You guys won't believe some of

the weird stuff they got around here.

They got this bird the

size of a Rottweiler.

Looks like somebody

ran over his head.

Oh, man, what are you waiting for?

They're not coming back.

That just shows you

how little you know.

It's happened before...

to me. People use you and lose you.

Shame on you

for betraying your boy.

Me betray him?

Who ditched who?

I mean, not that I care.

I can get along just fine without him.

- How dare you call yourself a dog.

- A cat would know better.

[ Shadow ] Dogs are supposed

to be faithful, loyal and true.

Hmph!

To people? Why?

Didn't you even notice how sad

Jamie looked when he left?

Sheesh! I'm sorry.

Man, I didn't know

anybody cared so much.

- [Jamie ] Ask her about Chance.!

- They're doing just fine.

- Let me talk to Shadow.

- Peter wants to talk to Shadow.

Peter, somebody here

wants to say hello to you.

- [ Peter] Shadow. Shadow?

- [ Whimpering ]

Can you hear me, boy? Look, I know

I promised we'd be back tomorrow...

but we can't make it

for another week, okay?

I never understand a thing

when they do this.

- Me neither, but you might as well humor them.
