that is like waving,

you should excuse the expression,

red flag in front of bull.

My license?

But what's wrong with it?

There ain't nothin' wrong with it.

Confidential,

there's not one dog here

who would not give left hind leg

for such a knick-knack.

That's your passport to freedom, honey.

Without it...

Hey. Hey, yous guys, look.

Poor Nutsy is takin' the long walk.

Where is he taking him?

Through the one-way door, sister.

You... You mean he's...

Oh, well.

A short life and a merry one.

Yeah, that's what

the Tramp always says.

- The Tramp?

- Now there's a bloke

- The Tramp?

- Now there's a bloke

what never gets caught.

He's given the slip to every

dogcatcher in this burg.

You won't believe this, dearie,

but no matter how tight a jam he's in,

that Tramp always finds some way out.

I can quite easily believe that.

But remember, my friends,

even Tramp has his Achilles heel.

Pardon me, amigo.

What is this "chilli heel"?

Achilles heel, Pedro.

This is meaning his... weaknesses.

The dames. Yeah.

He has an eye

for a well-turned paw, he has.

Let's see.

There's been Lulu.

Yeah, and Trixie.

Und Fifi.

And my sister,

Rosita Chiquita Juanita

Chihuahua.

I think.

What a dog.

Yeah. Tell us about it, Peg.

What a dog!

Peg used to be in

the Dog and Pony Follies.

He's a tramp

But they love him

Breaks a new heart every day

He's a tramp

They adore him

And I only hope he'll stay that way

He's a tramp

He's a scoundrel

He's a rounder

He's a cad

He's a tramp

But I love him

Yes, even I have got it pretty bad

You can never tell

When he'll show up

He gives you plenty of trouble

I guess he's just a no 'count pup

But I wish that he were double

He's a tramp

He's a rover

And there's nothin' more to say

If he's a tramp

He's a good one

And I wish that I could travel his way

Wish that I could travel his way

Wish that I could travel his way

Yeah.

But he never takes them serious.

But someday he is meeting

someone different.

Some delicate, fragile creature

who's giving him a wish

to shelter and protect.

Like Miss Park Avenue here, matey?

Could be.

- But when he does...

- Yeah. I'm way ahead of ya.

Under the spell of true love...

The poor chump grows careless...

The Cossacks are picking him up...

And it's curtains for the Tramp.

It's the little cocker, Bill.

- In number four.

- OK.

AII right, baby.

They've come to take you home.

You're too nice a girl

to be in this place.

Courage, man.

Courage!

But...

I've never even considered matrimony.

Nor I.

But no matter which

of us she accepts,

we'll always be the best of friends.

Now remember,

not a word about her

unfortunate experience.

- We don't want to hurt her feelings.

- Yeah. Yeah.

Lassie.

Miss Lady, ma'am.

Please, I don't want to see anybody.

Now, now, lassie.

Don't feel that way about it.

Of course not, Miss Lady.

Why, some of the finest people

I ever tracked down

- were jailbirds.

- Quiet!

You great loony!

Please, lassie.

We've come with a proposition.

For helpin' ya.

Help me? What do you mean?

Well, now...

You see, lassie...

Neither of us is as

young as we used to be.

But we're still in the prime of life.

Aye.

And we've both got

very comfortable homes.

That's right.

Where we know

you'll be welcome

and appreciated, Miss Lady.

So... So, to come

directly to the point...

If you could...

...find it possible to...

To...

You're both very kind,

and I do appreciate it.

- But...

- Oh, Pigeon.

Oh, Pi...

Oh! Hi, boys.

Anything new

in the kennel club set?

A little something

I picked up for you, Pige.

Looks like I'm the one

that's in the doghouse.

If this person is

annoying you, Miss Lady...

We'll gladly throw the rascal out.

That won't be necessary.

Thank you.

Very well, ma'am.

You... You...

...mongrel!

Come on, Pige.

It wasn't my fault.

I thought you were

right behind me. Honest.

When I heard they'd

taken you to the pound...

Don't even mention that horrible place.

I was so embarrassed and...

- And frightened.

- Now, now.

Who could ever harm

a cute little trick like you?

Trick? Trick!

- That reminds me, who is Trixie?

- Trixie?

And Lulu and Fifi

and Rosita Chiquita wh...

- Whatever her name is.

- Chiquita...

Oh! Yes! Well, I-I...

As far as I'm concerned,

you needn't worry about your old heel.

My heel?

I don't need you

to shelter and protect me.

- But...

- If you grow careless, don't blame me.

I don't care if the Cossacks

do pick you up! Goodbye.

And take this with you.

Stop that.

Hush, now, hush.

Stop that racket!

What's wrong, Pige?

- A rat!

- Where?

Upstairs, in the baby's room!

- How do I get in?

- The little door.

On the porch.

Merciful heavens!

Oh, you poor little darling.

No, no, no.

Thank goodness you're not hurt.

You... You vicious brutes. Back!

Get back!

Go on! Get back!

The pound. The pound, that's it.

I'II call the pound.

Come here, you. Come here!

Come on, come on.

Come along.

I'II call them this minute.

I won't sleep a wink

with that brute in the house.

Hello? Hello!

I don't care if you

are alone there, young man.

I insist you pick him up immediately.

Darling, look.

If you want my advice

you'll destroy that animal at once.

Don't worry, ma'am.

We've been after this one for months.

We'll take care of him.

- What do you suppose...?

- Say, what's going on here?

Just picking up a stray, mister.

Come on, giddap.

Caught him attacking a baby.

- Good heavens.

- My baby.

Aunt Sarah!

Aunt Sarah!

Aunt Sarah!

I was certain he was no good

the moment I first laid eyes on him.

Yeah, but...

I never thought

he'd do a thing like that.

I got there in time.

There they were...

I'm sure there must be

some mistake. Lady wouldn't...

Watch out! That dog's loose.

Keep her away.

Nonsense.

She's trying to tell us something.

What is it, old girl?

What are you try...

Darling, Aunt Sarah, come here.

What is it?

A rat!

A rat?

We should've known.

I misjudged him.

Badly.

Come on.

We got to stop that wagon.

But man, we don't know

which way they've gone.

We'll track 'em down.

And then?

We'll hold 'em.

Hold 'em at bay.

Now what?

The scent. Follow the scent.

Let's face it, man.

We both know you've lost

your sense of smell.

Go on, get out of here.

Go on, get away.

Easy. Go on, get away.

Watch it now. Watch it!

Hi, Pige.

AII right, everybody, watch the birdy.

Steady, now.

Hold it.

I guess I used a little too much.

Darling, visitors.

Visitors?

Why, it's Jock.

And good old Trusty.

Careful now, man.

Careful. It's a wee bit slippery.

Yes, it is.

AII right, boy.

We'll let 'em in.

No, no, not you, young man.

You're going to take a nap.

Well, Merry Christmas.

Come in. If you'll just

step into the parlour

I'll see about refreshments.

Darling, where did you

put the dog biscuits?

The box Aunt Sarah sent for Christmas.

In the kitchen, Jim dear.

No doubt about it.

They've got their mother's eyes.

Ward Greene (1892–1956) was an American writer, editor, journalist, playwright, and general manager of the comic syndicate King Features Syndicate. He is known for overseeing the works of Alex Raymond and other writers and artists at King Features Syndicate. He also wrote books such as Death in the Deep South, 1936 (adapted as the film They Won't Forget, in 1937) that, according to reviewer William Rose Benet, "reveals with startling clarity how the law works and how the press works after a particularly horrible and brutal murder." His "Happy Dan, the Cynical Dog" (1945) was the basis for the Disney film Lady and the Tramp released in 1955. Greene also wrote under the pseudonyms Frank Dudley and Jean Greene. more…
