Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey Page #5

No, ma'am. I gotta tell ya,

domesticated animals...

wouldn't stand

a chance out here.

We've got bears, mountain lions;

these are serious predators.

Is there anybody else in

the Park Service I can call?

Oh, would you?

Oh, I'd appreciate it.

Oh, I gave you my number,

didn't I? Oh, good.

Yeah, it's just a shot. Bye.

You've done

everything you can.

Not everything.

[ Crying ]

- Well, maybe we can go look for them.

- Really?

I really don't think we're

gonna be able to do that, guys.

- Why couldn't we?

- Look, Peter, we all miss 'em.

We're gonna do everything

we can to find 'em...

but we have to be patient.

We have to do something.

Trying to find three animals

in the wilderness...

is like trying to find

a needle in a haystack.

I think we need

to be realistic.

I don't care what you think.

I told you he'd think I abandoned him.

But you made us come anyway!

It's your fault!

- It's all your fault!

- [ Laura ] Peter.!

[ Door Slams ]

- Professor?

- What?

- They're waiting for you.

- Who?

Dean Maxwell

and the Grant Committee.

Oh, I forgot.

Print! Print, you

Stone Age piece of junk.

- Professor.

- Yeah, yeah, okay, okay.

Listen, um, could you

do me a big favor, please?

Have 50

- No. Have 100 of those printed up as a personal favor to me.

I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

[ Chance ] Hungry, hungry,

hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry.

Again, first thing I'm gonna do when

I get back is raid the trash can.

- I just want to see Peter.

- Yep, straight into the garbage...

snout first,

darn good eatin'.

[ Creaking ]

Oh, no.

I'm with strangers.

And I look like something

the dog dragged in.

Well. You made it

through the night.

I guess that means

you're gonna be okay.

- Think you can keep some milk down?

- [ Meows ]

Was that my sixth life?

Oh, I'll just say

it was my fourth.

Here you go.

Nice, warm goat's milk...

- compliments of Aretha.

- [ Meow ]

Hey, this isn't low fat...

but, uh, it is pretty good.

- Remember hot dogs?

- Yeah.

Never much

liked the name.

I don't think they're

really made out of dog.

I don't think

they're made of meat.

- They taste the best when they fall in the dirt.

- Yeah!

[ Snarling ]

Did you know Peter used

to slip me broccoli under the table?

Yuck!

Gag me with roughage!

[ Growling ]

Whoa!

Shadow.

Shadow, Shadow.

Shadow.! Shadow.!

[ Chance Muffled ]

Shadow.! Shadow.! Shadow.! Shadow.!

- Shadow! Shadow! Shadow! Shadow!

- What?

There's a b-b-big,

a c-c-ca-

A huge cat!

Balderdash.!

You're smelling things.

Now, stop scaring

the fish.

Bu-But it was there!

I- I didn'tjust smell it.! I-

[ Growling ]

There it is again!

Shadow! Sh-Shadow!

- Shadow!

- Young dog,just-

- [ Yowling ]

- Run!

[ Chance ] I'm such a wimp!

I'm runnin' from a cat!

I won't tell

if you won't.

Of course, this isn't your ordinary house

cat! This is like Arnold Schwarze-kitty!

[ Chance ] If I don't make it, I got

a pile of bones buried in the backyard.

We'll make it.

I knew it! We're trapped!

We're goners!

Uh.! Look, the bones are buried

next to thejungle gym.

The TV remote control

is under the seesaw.

[ Shadow ]

Seesaw? Seesaw.

Chance,

you're a genius.!

I am not!

What's a genius?

Never mind. This is

gonna take teamwork.

[ Barking ]

- [ Barking ]

- [ Mountain Lion Growling ]

[ Growling ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Yawns ]

I sure hope this works.

Get ready, Chance.

Here he comes.

He's right behind me.

Wait for my signal, okay? And get down.

Here, kitty,

kitty, kitty.

[ Roaring ]

Come on. Come on.

- Get ready, Chance.

- I'm ready, I'm ready.

Not yet.

Almost.

Now!

- Hey, cut it out.

- [ Roaring ]

- Chance, now!

- 'Hasta la vista, kitty.!

[ Chance ]

Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo.! Yes.!

- Awesome.!

- [ Shadow ] Yeah.! We did it.!

Couple of geniuses!

Right, Shadow? Yes! Look at that!

Hey.! Hey.!

Dogs rule...

and cats drool.!

[ Laughing ]

- Whoo!

- [ Barking ]

[ Barking ]

What's that?

[ Dog Barking ]

- Shadow? Shadow! And Chance!

- [ Dogs Barking ]

- [ Meowing ]

- All right, all right.

- [ Meowing ]

- But take care of yourself now.

And steer clear

of the river!

- [ Dog Barking ]

- Come on, guys, keep barkin'. Let me know where you are.

[ Dogs Barking ]

P.U.!

They were here, all right.

[ Dog Barking ]

[ Dogs Barking ]

- You were great! You were like Rin Tin Tin!

- Like who?

- Rin Tin Tin! Don't you ever watch TV?

- Ah!

- That's not real!

- Oh, it is too!

- You can't smell it, can you?

- Anyway, you were great.

Okay, thanks, Chance.

- [ Meowing ]

- Sassy?

- Couldn't be.

- [ Meowing ]

- Sassy!

- Sassy!

My boys! My boys!

Sassy! Sassy!

Sass- Gopher hole!

- Chance! Shadow!

- Sassy!

- Shadow! I thought I would never see you again!

- Sassy, you're alive!

- Sassy!

- Oh, I missed you so!

- Oh, I missed you so much, Sassy.

- Yeah, me too.

- Really?

- Yeah, well, we could use you around.

- I missed you too, Chance.

- Hey, can we go fishing now?

Chance, you are hopeless,

but all right.

- Let's go fishin'.

- Yes! Fish, fish, fish!

Great fish, Sassy.

Full stomach sure feels good.

- Yeah, I pigged out.

- [ Burping ] Oh, excuse me.

We'd better get a move on. We can

still make a few miles before dark.

I'd give anything to have Hope

scoop me up in her arms right now.

Yeah, well, I can't wait to see the look

on Jamie's face when we come strollin' up.

Jamie? I thought

you didn't care about him.

- Why, of- Whoa!

- [ Indistinct Grunting ]

[ Chance ]

Hey.! Check it out.! Intruder at 4.'00.!

- [ Sassy ] What is that?

- You got me.

I think it's a squirrel

havin' a bad hair day.

[ Shadow ]

Leave it alone, Chance.!

Are you kiddin' me?

I gotta check this out.

- Hey,you, pal.!

- No, don't! Doesn't smell right.

Will you look at this guy?

This is like mondo bizarro.

All right, pal. You know the

routine. Assume the position.

I sniff you,'you sniff me.

Hey, hey.

Hey, where you goin'?

Did I say you could go?

Come back here.

Hey, what about that hair?

What,you stick

your tongue in a toaster, huh?

[ Yelping ] Aaah! Aaah!

He bit me with his butt!

[ Whining, Groaning ]

Chance, you really are

a bulldog, aren't you?

[ Whining ]

I was just curious!

Like my mother always said,

"Curiosity killed the dog. "

- Sassy, can you pull those things out?

- I'll try.

[ Groaning ]

[ Groaning ]

Sassy, Sassy, you got my lip!

- You got my... lip.

- It's all right, I'm a professional.

- They look like they're in deep.

- Really deep.

- Whatever you do, don't lick yourself.

- [ Whining ]

- [ Grunting ]

- [ Chance ]Jerk.!

Come on, man.

I didn't do nothin'.

[ Policeman ]

Right in here, through the door.

- Yeah,yeah,yeah.

- Excuse us, excuse us.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah?

- I need some help finding a

member of my family. - Mm-hmm.

Actually three members

of my family.

- How long they been missing?

- They ran away about a week ago.

- Your name?

- Peter Burnford.

- Where are your parents?

- They- They don't know I'm here.
