Rufus Page #2

Okay?

Rufus?

You're not doing

what I think you're

doing, are you?

What, aren't we

going for a walk?

This is what I always do

when we go for a walk.

Seriously?

Did you not bring a bag?

This is awkward.

Your cousin.

Yes, he's, visiting...

from somewhere for,

I don't know how long.

You have cats, don't you?

I smell cats, do you smell cats?

Seems weird.

But they don't pay

me enough to care.

Okay, Rufus, sit.

I meant in a chair.

I'm not allowed to sit on

the furniture at home.

Okay.

Watch Movies And Series!

So... What?

We were talking about

themes of transformation

in Kafka's "Metamorphosis."

You are hilarious, dog.

Thanks but I'm not a dog.

I'm a human boy.

With squirrels, the

key is to get it

before it gets in the tree

'cause once they're in

the tree, it's over.

What's up?

Well, see you later, Rufus.

What's your name again?

Manny.

Right, Marty.

Dude, your cousin is awesome.

Catch you guys later.

Okay, later.

And it's Manny.

Did I do good?

Yeah, really good, Rufus.

So we can play ball now?

No.

We've got more classes.

More?

Man...

He's got a ball!

Ball, ball, ball, ball...

Here, boy!

Squirrel!

Squirrel!

Hey, don't go behind that tree!

I got you, I got you!

It's just a squirrel.

So you're telling me there's

no sign of that amulet?

I'm sorry, Mr. Black,

but we've searched everywhere.

I have devoted countless years

to finding that amulet,

unthinkable sums of money...

I will not give up!

Okay.

But it's gonna take a miracle.

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa!

Sorry, sorry!

My friend here has

a real problem

with squirrels. Hey.

Hey, what's that? Rufus, wait!

A miracle indeed.

Dude, dude, you gotta

rein that in, okay?

Squirrels are not worth

getting run over for.

Squirrels are evil, Manny.

They have big plans,

terrible plans,

plans humans couldn't

even comprehend.

Sure, okay, right, evil

squirrels, whatever.

Tell you what, I'm hungry.

How about a snack,

okay, your choice?

Really?

I love Power Puppy

Kibble so much.

Okay, whatever, if you

want Power Puppy,

I'll buy you Power Puppy.

Sweet!

Paige!

Kittens!

I love kittens!

All dogs secretly do.

The problem are cats.

I hate cats.

Quiet.

Maybe she'll see us.

Who? Paige.

She's a girl from my school.

I met her on my first day.

So she's a friend. Not exactly.

I mean, I'd like her to

be but I'm afraid...

Hey, Paige!

What are you doing?

Well, you said you wanted

her to be your friend.

Paige, over here!

Hi, Paige.

No, no, no, bad, Rufus.

I'm Rufus. Hi.

You go to my school, right?

You're Manny's cousin. Right.

I wanted to let you know

that Manny's afraid to...

Afraid I'm covered in kittens.

So cute.

Yeah, you think that...

before they dig their claws in.

So, what's the news at school?

Any big scoops coming up?

Page one is you two.

From out of nowhere,

you guys are

the two most popular

dudes in school.

Okay, popular twins,

catch you later.

My goldfish gets grumpy

when it's hungry.

Later.

You are the best wingman ever.

I have no idea what

you're talking about.

I don't have wings.

It just means if you

look good, I look good.

It's win-win. It means good.

The point is you rock.

The target is coming your way.

We're ready.

Thanks to you, I've got

the town eating out of

the palm of my hand.

I love eating out of

the palm of your hand.

Know what we're doing today?

Chase squirrels.

Yes, we're gonna chase

some squirrels.

What a... What a great idea.

I got this.

Why am I the only one

who wants to do that?

I feel like... I feel

like you don't get me.

I smell garbage.

Idiot.

Manny, did you know about this?

The dance.

Yeah.

They used my suggestion.

They're going to the dogs.

I guess Paige really sold it.

Awesome!

She's the best.

You should ask Paige

to the dance.

I don't know.

Maybe. Maybe?

Manny?

Manny?

Where's Rufus?

I haven't seen him.

Why?

He chewed my patent

leather shoe.

I can't even find the other one.

That dog!

Dude?

You ate my mom's shoe so she

still thinks we have a dog?

Genius.

Right, 'cause that's

totally why I did that.

You wanna know what else I did?

I pooped behind the couch.

Why wouldn't you ask

Paige to the dance?

She's really pretty.

Yes, she is... Whatever.

Hello.

Manny Garcia.

Hey, Paige.

I was jus t talking about you

with my...

um, dog... yo.

Yeah, dog, that's funny.

What's up?

Well, being the school's

top newspaper reporter...

okay, only newspaper reporter,

I was wondering if I could

score an exclusive interview

with Taft's most

interesting new student?

I'm pretty sure I

can arrange that.

Awesome!

Have Rufus meet me

after school tomorrow

on the quad.

Wait, what?

Rufus.

I wanna interview Rufus.

Right, Rufus.

Popular guy, class clown.

The big dog.

Right!

So you'll set it up?

Yeah, I will. Awesome.

Later.

I mean...

who would want to interview me?

I'd interview you.

You're almost out of popcorn.

Me?

Paige wants to interview me?

Yes, you. Wow.

Me? Yes, you.

Are you mad about something? No.

You sure?

I'm not.

You sound kinda mad.

Like that time I chewed

up your baseball glove.

Okay, it's a little

annoying that you...

I got this.

- I like to do things a lot.

- Like play catch.

Time to wrap things up.

Idiot.

Thanks for agreeing to do

this interview, Rufus.

Of course.

I think newspapers

are very important.

You do?

People need newspapers

to do their business.

I've been doing my

business on them

ever since I was a pup.

Finally!

Someone gets it. Yeah.

So, Rufus, over night...

you've become the most

popular kid in school.

How does that feel?

Weird.

Because you're the new kid?

Because I'm new at being a kid.

Ball!

You are funny.

Is that your secret

to making friends?

Sort of.

I mean, when I see someone new,

I kinda just bounce around

them 'til they smile

and then... boom...

Instant friends.

Works with everybody.

Well, except cats.

Dogged determination.

I like that.

Now, Rufus, the whole

school wants to know,

will you be taking a special

someone to the dance?

Well, Paige, turns out I've

been meaning to talk to you

about that very subject.

So, guys, best in show,

you know who to vote for.

The big dog, am I right?

Yeah.

Hey.

Yeah, let's go dance.

A real human dance.

So cool.

Yeah, cool.

I mean, there's

music and friends

and they're gonna

announce best in show

and... ooh, ooh...

I'm pretty sure I know

who it's gonna be.

Congratulations in

advance, Rufus.

And the best part

is my big surprise.

Paige.

Who told you?

I'm gonna... go get some punch.

Yo, dog, this is your song.

This is my song.

Come dance.

Watch Movies And Series!

Manny, did you see?

I made a dance.

It's amazing what you can do

when your knees

bend the other way.

Being a human boy is even

better than I ever dreamed.

Yeah, awesome.

I'm sure your date

loves the dance too.

Probably gonna write a

front-page article about it.
