Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey Page #3

- [ Barking ]

Did you hear that?

He said hello.

What'd he say?

What'd he say?

He said Chance ate Sassy.

Nah, I'm just kidding.

He said Sassy loves it there.

[ Muffled ] You know,

I don't even miss the old place.

I mean, there's a lot

more stuff to do here.

Ugh! I miss it.

It's so much harder for

a lady to keep clean here.

[ Sighs ]

Thanks again,

Kate.

How much longer? Peter

should've been here by now.

Why don't you relax, Gramps?

Find yourself a shoe.

- Oh, pups.

- Do you have any idea where that's been?

Oh, yeah. That's why I love it.

You want some?

- I'm not into leather.

- [ Neighing ]

- Now, where's she going?

- Huh?

Okay, you guys.

I'll be back in a couple of days.

A car ride! We're goin' on

a car ride! Let's go! All right!

- Ow!

- [ Kate ] No, no, no. Sorry, boy.

Not this time.

You stay here and be good.

Okay? Bye-bye.

Frank'll be by to feed you later.

- Something's happening.

- What? What do you think it is?

I don't know,

but I don't like it.

[ Neighing ]

That's peculiar.

[ Whining ]

Locked in.

I hate being locked in.

This is just like it was

back at the pound.

- Chance, calm down.

- You don't get it, do ya?

The pound is where humans lock you up

when they don't want you anymore.

- Not want me? Impossible.

- Don't listen to him.

He's just makin' it up

to scare you.

Oh, yeah. You two pampered pets haven't

been out on the streets like I have.

I've been to the pound, remember?

Don't tell me there's no pound.

I know about the pound.

Something doesn't smell right.

They've been gone way too long.

Much longer than they should've been.

Something's really wrong.

- Wake up and smell the kibble. They dumped us.

- No! It isn't true!

- They love you, and they dump you.

- Not Peter!

You could be right, Shadow. It's

- It's been too much time, way too much time.

Something is keeping Peter from coming

to me, so I'm gonna go to him.

- You guys kill me. She locked the gate, remember?

- I don't care about gates.

- I'm going home.

- What?

- What'd he say?

- No way!

- Shadow, wait!

It's too far.

You don't know the way.

What if they come back here

looking for us?

It's time to go, Sassy.

I'm going home.

It's crazy!

Who'll feed you?

You won't make it on the road! That's where

they catch you and take you to the pound!

- I'm stayin' right here. Huh?

- [ Gobbling ]

- [ Gobbling ]

- Oh! Birdzilla returns!

Hey, guys, wait up! Wait up!

I'm comin'!

Don't let him

eat me! Oh!

[ Gobbling ]

- Aah! Oh! Ugh!

- [ Gobbling ]

Whoa! Ow!

Did that hurt.

Look out, chicken broads.

Comin' through! Pardon me.

Home is just over that mountain.

We'll be there before dark.

How do you figure?

It took us ages to get this far.

That was the long way. We'll take

the shortcut, straight up and over.

Hey! Wait up!

Hey, guys, wait up!

- Here I am.

- I thought you were gonna stay, pup.

I thought I better come along

in case you two needed protection.

[ Sassy ] My hero. Guess I'm gonna have

to stare at your butt the whole way.

[ Shadow Laughing ]

I'll race you to the trees.

[ Chance ] And so began

the most perilous journey of our lives.

- [ Whack ]

- The Sierras extend...

to over 250 miles

north and south...

and to over 50 miles

east and west.

This makes them the second largest

mountain range in the Western United States.

- [ Sassy ] Ow.! I broke a nail.!

- Not much further now.

I think Little Miss Fur Ball

needs a rest, don't you think?

What's the matter, pup?

Too much for a tough guy like you?

What are you talkin' about?

I'm just sick of hearin' her whine.

This ground isn't nearly

soft enough. Ah! Ah!

- Almost there, Sassy.

- I hate these package tours.

[ Whistling ]

Here, dogs!

Come on!

[ Whistles ]

Kitty?

Here, kitty, kitty!

That's funny.

"Thanks for feedin' them-

Old dog seems really homesick.

Taking him and the other two-"

Taking 'em where? Cat on a stock

drive? You gotta be kiddin' me.

- [ Braying ]

- Okay, okay. I know you're hungry. I'm comin'!

I wanna be home where the tallest thing

I have to climb is a bookshelf.

Top's just ahead. You'll be able to see

our house from there. Keep marching.

Don't worry. I'm gonna be glad

to put this place behind me.

First of all, there's way too many

new smells to learn.

Not to mention, I got about ten million

trees to mark, and I am running on empty.

Finally.

Oh, Shadow.

Whoa!

Get a load of this.

You could see everything

from up here.

Except the house. I don't see

the house. Where's the house?

[ Sassy ]

Well, thank you, Shadow.

It's been simply

a divine vacation...

but I think I'll just stay here

and wait for the bus.

Okay.

- Hey, where's he goin'?

- Shadow?

I told you.

I'm going home.

- You can't be serious.

- I have to go. Peter might be in trouble.

Look around. We're in trouble. Home's

not that way. Can't you smell straight?

Oh, it's out there. I have a sixth

sense. You'll have it... one day.

- Shadow, you're not as young as you used to be.

- I'm going home, that's all.

Now, you two coming

or not?

Look, there's no way I'm gonna let

an old-timer like you go it alone.

I'll be your guard dog.

This isn't a game, pup. If you're

coming, you're gonna have to keep up.

All right. Don't worry about me.

It's you I'm worried about.

You two are really gonna

go off and leave me here?

You wait for that bus.

You'll do fine.

We'll send you

a dead bird when we get there.

- I prefer to do my own shopping.

- [ Shadow ] Au revoir, Sassy.!

Hey.! All right.

All right. Wait up.!

Ooh! I can't believe

I'm following...

a couple of irresponsible,

misguided, mangy canine plague lifters.

[ Chance ] There was more to that

old boy than I'd given him credit for.

I was soon to learn

Just how much more...

but even in that moment I had to admire

his faith wherever it might lead us.

Check it out.!

What kind of animal made that?

That? You

don't wanna know.

Whoa! That's

as big as Sassy.

- [ Sassy ] Thanks, darling.

- Whew! But it smells better.

At least I don't roll in it

like some species.

[ Barking ]

[ Raccoon Chattering ]

- [ Chattering ]

- [ Barking ]

Oh, right.

Like if you yap at it...

it's gonna come right down

and ask you to eat it.

[ Barking ]

What's that smell? [ Sniffing ]

That smells interesting.

- [ Loud Snap ]

- [ Yelping ]

[ Chattering ]

Whoo-hoo-hoo! I never thought

anything could smell too much.

- Shadow, wanna have some fun? Stick your head in that hole.

- Pace yourself, pup.

- We got a long way to go.

- Don't sweat it, pops! I could go on like this for days!

- Ugh! I'm too pooped to poop.

- [ Shadow ] Shh.!

- Just sleep.

- I can't sleep. Too tired to sleep.

I'm tired

and I'm hungry.

And this place is spooky. I don't

like it here. Gives me the creeps.

Oh, 'fraidy cat-

I mean, dog.

You two pipe down

and go to sleep.

- [ Bird Cawing, Wings Fluttering ]

- [ Whining ]

- Now what?

- There's somethin' out there.

- [ Sassy ] Oooooh!

- Enough, Sassy! Now, sleep.
