Pup Star: World Tour Page #2

---

Are you ready?

This is Pup Star: World Tour.

Dogs and dogettes, your judges.

Namaste, India!

- There she is. Oh, she's so cute.

- It's Tiny.

Bright colors, vivid patterns,

bling everywhere.

I'm home.

All right, India. Give me your sad sacks,

your talentless hacks,

your half-baked divas

yearning for unearned stardom.

Come on, Growl.

Let your love in, mon. One love.

Get those golden bones ready

because here's our very first contestant.

Raji!

[crowd cheering]

I was an slum dog from Calcutta.

I didn't even have an identity collar.

I was a nobody.

But I knew who I wanted to be:

a rock star.

You gotta sacrifice to sing the blues

I sang my heart out at the train station.

To pay your dues

But I couldn't get arrested.

For my music, that is.

I had a captive audience

that gave me instant feedback.

Take me higher

Allowing me to find my voice.

From Bollywood to Hollywood,

Raji's coming up.

And now, Raji!

Every slum dog knows the score

It's an uphill climb

From the bottom floor

To make it to the top

You gotta want it more

That's for sure

You've gotta want it more

Now I'm a slum dog, that's a fact

But I'll show the world

I'm more than that

My music is what makes me strong

Gonna sing my song

Desire

Take me higher

I'm a slum dog

But not for long

Gonna sing my song

Gonna prove you wrong

I'm a slum dog

But what you see is only part of me

I'm more than a slum

No way!

Dog

Simon! That was a sneak attack.

Right now, you're the king,

but I will make you immortal.

Welcome to Team Growl!

Oh, you are too kind. I guess it's karma.

I have so many gods to thank,

Saraswati, Savitri, Lakshmi...

Dhanyavaad!

Yes, first class.

[Simon on TV]

You're the king...

...but I will make you immortal.

Welcome to Team Growl!

That's my grandson.

Picking the fancy lad, even.

That's an open mind, that is.

Always was a sensitive pup.

[car horn honking]

Mind the tiller, lads.

Time to call it a night.

Oi! Aren't you Grandpa Growl?

It depends who's asking.

Hop right in, guvnah.

Here we are.

What's this, then?

Some kind of ride-sharing program?

No, mate, it's your lucky day.

Yeah, congratulations, guv.

We're here to escort you

to the Pup Star finale.

A special surprise

from your grandson, isn't it? Heh, heh.

What's the catch?

You're flying cargo.

[Kano cackles]

You're doing great, sis.

You're gonna pick the champ for reals.

Thanks, Scrappy, but it's hard to choose

when there's so many great contestants.

Go with your instincts.

You'll know the right one.

Don't you worry, Ms. Tiny.

I will pray to St. Anthony

to find you the best contestant.

We could talk all night.

It's time to get some rest.

Tomorrow's another continent,

another show.

- Love you, guys.

- Miss you, love you.

- Love you.

- Love you.

Love you, sisters.

[crowd cheering]

Pup Star has finally made it

to the majestic continent of Africa.

Ladies and gentlemen of Nigeria,

and the world,

please welcome your Pup Star judges!

India set a high bar, I have my pick.

So, now I just get to sit back

and watch my colleagues

drool all over themselves.

Poodles don't drool, bulldogs do.

Old Jamaican proverb,

"Good things come to those who wait."

In England, we say,

"The early bird catches the worm."

Rather delicious.

Ew.

Disgusting.

Who wants to catch a worm?

Our next competitor Mobo

is a park ranger and conservationist

from Kainji Lake National Park.

He's not just an animal,

he's an animal lover. Give him a hand!

[Mobo] I spend my days on

the nature preserve hunting for poachers.

[crowd booing]

[crowd cheering]

[crowd laughing]

[Mobo] The sounds of my animal brethren

is what inspires my music.

Join me in welcoming

the biggest heart in Nigeria...

Mobo!

I would like to welcome everyone

Sannu da zuwa

Listen to the sound of birds singing

And roaring waterfalls

Enjoy the savanna

As butterflies flutter across your eyes

Elephants in the river play all day

When there's trouble, I'll be on my way

If you fall, let me know

I'll be ready, I'll be your hero

It's a sight to see

You can live carefree

Go ahead and count on me

You know I'll be there

I'll be watching you

I'll be right there when you call

- All you gotta do is

- Holler, holler

And you know that I'll take care of you

Holler, holler

- You know that I'll take care of you

- I'll take care

- Of you

- You know I'll take care of you

Holler, holler

And you know that I'll take care of you

The search be over, mon. The dog up high

brought us together for a reason.

Now you'll be jamming on Team Gnarly.

Yeah, mon! Dog Gnarly, you're my hero!

I won't let you down.

- Do you really know our dad?

- Aye, mon.

He sent us to take you to the finale

in New York City.

Yeah, we be keeping it irie, pups.

Why are you dressed like tourists?

We be feeling that island rhythm, mon.

I can't do this anymore.

Well, I and we always dress like this...

For true?

Pretty embarrassing, mon.

See, I told you.

How far is New York anyway?

Oh, it's a while, mon.

Can we call our dad?

No. Mon.

- Why not?

- Because, mon.

Let me bottom-line this.

You're being dognapped.

[in unison] So cool.

[tires screeching]

Watch it!

Ain't nobody do it like I do

It's ruff and it's lyrical

- Feel the vibe I'm bringing you

- Yo.

Canine West, the original.

Mr. Big-time.

What's up, Prissy?

I haven't seen you in forever.

Word on the street is you're looking

for new talent. Here we are.

P.U.P, meet the Glameranians:

This is Sassy and CeCe.

- Sup, my G? Tight crib.

- You ought to check out our new song.

Plus, we have like 900 followers,

so we're like totally instafabulous.

Excuse me, ladies. You can chill

in the lobby. We got work to do.

Pup Star is thrilled

to be here in Beijing

to ring in both the year of the dog

and the very first episode

of Pup Star:
China!

Raise the woof-woof, China!

[speaking in Mandarin]

Our next contestant hails

from here in the province of Hebei.

Let's meet her.

I tried helping my family on our farm,

but I was a bad duck farmer.

The worst.

[squeals]

The ducks would just waddle all over me.

Help!

All I ever wanted to do was sing.

My family thought I was quackers.

But the ducks? Heh, heh.

They believed in me.

And now I'm on Pup Star!

[crowd cheering]

It is my tremendous honor to present Ming!

[singing opera]

Two words:
lounge music.

Totally forgettable.

Come out of the darkness

And into the light

We'll fly through the clouds

Where the stars shine so bright

Yi, er, san, let's go!

Put your paws up, put your paws up

Put your hands up, put your hands up

- Yeah

- Everyone across the land

Paw to paw and hand to hand

Yeah!

- Everybody dance

- Everybody dance

Every breed from every nation

Join the celebration

Everybody dance

- Yeah

- What, what! Right!

Everybody dance

Everybody dance

Everybody dance

Yesterday's buried and gone

- Tomorrow a new day will dawn

- A new day

- Tonight

- We'll bang the drum
