who'll put up with this stupid job, Mister.

Ahem, Mr. Muckle.

I have Coconut Cove on line five.

Thank you, Felix.

Which means you should go get packed,

'cause you're going to Florida.

Mr. Brannit, what does

one hundred pancake houses...

sound like to you?

Sounds like an awful lot

of pancake houses, Mr. Muckle.

It's a record-breaking accomplishment.

I will be the first regional manager

in the history of Mother Paula's...

to reach one hundred pancake houses.

And that is the stuff...

that food and beverage industry legends

are made of.

Ahh, it is my dream.

And you, Mr. Brannit, are responsible...

for making a tiny piece

of that very big dream come true.

Gotcha.

So then why are we behind schedule,

over budget...

and on the front page

of the crime report?

Well, we got us a...

a tiny bit of a trespassing problem, sir.

Well, solve the problem...

or I will replace you

with someone who can.

What about them owls?

What owls?

Well, you know, the ones

we got in the little...

holes and...

This time, at half speed, Brannit,

ignore owls or lose job.

I want you to go out

and get what it takes...

to keep those vandals off my lot.

Attack dogs, Rottweilers, Dobermans...

I don't care, just get that site cleared.

Yes, sir.

You sure them dogs will do the trick?

Oh, please.

It's best you get

as far away as possible.

All right. All right.

Just look a little tame to me.

I ain't paying top dollar...

just for them to sit around slobbering,

eating tenderloins.

Sic him.

All right. All right.

Call them off.

All right, call them off.

- Off!

- Call them off!

- Off! Off!

- Hey! Hey!

Hey, all right!

All right! All right!

Here, you can go now.

Not to worry...

the dogs will take care of all

of your problems by the morning.

Yeah.

Come, boys, come.

Come, babies.

Whoa!

Easy.

Ahh, no, no.

Hi, Dana.

Hey, cowgirl.

You and me got some business

to settle, Eberhardt.

What business?

I gave you an apology.

That makes us even.

We're a long way from even,

you and me.

You're gonna be sorry

you ever messed with me.

I am going to be your worst nightmare.

Aah!

- Uh!

- Unh!

What are you staring at?

Hey, Beatrice.

Unh!

Please, don't hurt me.

Ta-aah! Aah!

What happened?

Spooked, they got spooked.

That's what happened.

Spooked?

How'd they get spooked?

They're supposed to be

doing the spookin'.

There's only one thing

that spooks a dog like this...

snakes.

We ain't got no snakes 'round here.

Oh, you've got 'em.

You got 'em crawling all over the lot.

What?

Do you know what happens

when dog gets bit by snake?

- What happens?

- Dog dies.

But we ain't got no snakes.

Oh?

What is that?

Yeah, a snake.

Yeah.

What you think now?

Do you think Kahler is

some kind of crazy boy, huh?

We go home, boys.

# Ah-ooo #

# Werewolves of London #

# Ah-ooo... #

Eberhardt, you look sick.

You should go home early.

I feel fine.

I don't care how you think you feel...

you should call your mom

and go home, bro.

Why?

Look, I know a guy

in Dana's P.E. class.

He says Dana's gonna snatch you

right before you get on the bus.

And do what?

Ahh, guess you got till 2:45 to find out.

In the meantime,

I'll get to work on your eulogy.

Eulogy?

So to answer your question...

Pacific swells are usually a lot bigger

than Atlantic swells.

But remember,

Kelly Slater is from Florida.

OK, test tomorrow.

- Wait, wait, wait.

- Be ready.

- Good-bye.

- Good-bye.

- See ya.

- Bye-bye.

- OK, bye.

- Bye.

Be ready.

- Bye, Mr. Ryan.

- Bye.

Roy, you OK?

Oh, yeah, yeah, everything's fine.

All right, maana.

Hey, Mr. Ryan, wait up.

You going home, too?

Sooner or later.

I got some papers to grade, but hopefully

I'll catch a few waves before dinner.

Cool, I think, uh, I think I'm just gonna

walk with you for a little bit.

Isn't the bus the other way?

Ahh, just stretching my legs.

Roy, is there something

you want to talk to me about?

Oh, no, no, everything's fine.

Well, then you better get going

or you'll miss your bus.

Later, dude.

Ahh, get over here.

Aah!

Curly Brannit.

- Brannit, what's going on?

- Hello, sir.

Did you get my message

'bout the dogs?

You're telling me snakes

scared off the dogs?

Well, now, sir, theses wasn't

just your ordinary snakes...

these was cottonmouths.

And a cottonmouth'll kill a dog

pretty darn quick.

Really? Can they kill a bulldozer?

Probably not.

Brannit, I am this close

to firing up the chopper...

and coming down there myself.

And trust me, you do not want that.

No, sir.

I told you, it was settled.

Ow!

Not even close.

Aah, ha ha ha!

Help! Help!

Come on, cowgirl.

Aah!

Aah, shh... ow!

Leave me al... ow!

Aah! Aah!

Aah, uh.

Uh! Ha ha ha.

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Aah! Oh, I jus...

Um, Mr. Ryan?

How in the heck did that...

Hey!

You did that?

You can thank me later,

but right now we gotta go.

Hop on, I need your help.

Ha ha ha.

Aah!

Grr.

Did you get everything I wanted?

Yep, my mom keeps a trauma unit

under the sink.

OK, come on. We gotta go.

I came by at lunch,

and I found him like this.

Uh, uh.

The dog got me.

Sss...

Sss... uhh.

Let me see.

I'm going to put some

antibiotic cream on for now.

But you're gonna need a doctor.

Uh, I'll be OK, all right?

Sss...

Uhh.

How'd you get bit?

My arm got stuck.

Sss...

- Doing what?

- Uhh.

Sss. Uhh.

I got some little friends I look after

over at this construction site.

Anyway, they brought

in these big dogs to get rid of me.

So, I put some snakes

around the lot to freak the dogs out.

See, I knew the trainer

would drag 'em out of there...

when he saw that

they were cottonmouths.

Sss. Ow.

Does this have anything

to do with that cop car...

that got painted black?

The gators in the toilet?

If they build that pancake place,

those baby owls are toast.

Yeah. Yeah, I've seen those owls.

Wait, you have?

Why don't they just

build somewhere else?

We tried to tell them about the nest...

But all we got back was this form letter

from this jerk named Muckle...

saying they had all the permits

they needed to build.

They don't care about little birds.

My brother's been trying

to stall them ever since.

Uhh...

Hey, hey. You OK?

Ha... are you kidding?

Uhh... I feel like a million bucks.

Uhh...

Hey! H... unh!

Uhh! Uhh!

Let's get him to a hospital.

The Central Florida shrimping industry

has suffered major...

Are you a big boy

with a big appetite?

You betcha, I am.

Then come on down

to Mother Paula's...

for our famous all-you-can-eat

pancake buffet.

# Mother Paula's, we cover the world #

Huh?

# One flapjack at a... #

What are you up to now?

Uh...

Uh...

Uh!

Aah!

This is bad, cowgirl.

Really bad.

Don't worry.

He's gonna be fine.

I'm worried about him.

I've never seen him act like this.

Which one of you

is Roy Eberhardt?

- He is.

- He is.

- Police officer?

- Hi, there!

What's this about?

Must be Roy's parents.

I'm Officer Delinko, C.C.P.D.
