Teacher's Pet Page #7

Synopsis: Leonard is a 4th grader; his mother, Mrs. Mary Lou Helperman, is his teacher, and has been nominated for a teaching award. They plan a trip to Florida for the finals, but need to leave their dog, Spot, behind. Unknown to Mrs. Helperman, Spot has been masquerading as a boy, Scott, who is her star pupil. Spot wants nothing more than to be a real boy, and sees a way to this when mad scientist Ivan Krank appears on the Barry Anger show. Krank thinks he can turn animals into humans. Conveniently, his lab is right down the street from where the Helpermans are staying, so Spot, as Scott (and the rest of his family) convinces Mary Lou to take him along. Spot becomes a man, but discovers it's not everything he ever dreamed of after all.

Ow!

# I can't go on #

# With just half of my heart #

# Nothing and no one #

# Can keep us apart #

# It's a permanent bond #

# We can never destroy #

# A friend needs a friend #

- # I've got #

- # A boy #

- # Needs a dog #

- # To get back #

- # Needs a #

- # To my #

- # Dog #

- # Boy #

Bunky, I'm back!

Pretty Boy? Jolly?

What are you doing here?

Who is that strange man,

and why is he talking to us?

I don't know. Just act dumb.

Uh, tweet.

Uhh! Meow, meow, meow.

- Guys, it's me. It's Spot.

- Aah!

Oh, my. This is what

you look like as a man?

Why? Is something

wrong with it?

No, no. It was just

a shock at first.

You could use a shave.

Really? I thought

it was kind of edgy.

But forget that.

Where's Leonard?

Oh, Spot, it's terrible.

He just ran out...

babbling some nonsense about

if you can't be his dog...

then he'll have to get

that Dr. Krank...

to turn him into your dog.

That crazy kid.

Although I guess it could work.

No! No! What am I saying?

I've got to save my boy!

This is perfect-

perfect.

Why, my plan could not

have gone any better...

if I'd had a plan!

And now I do!

I'll turn the boy

into a dog...

use Ihim as bait

to lune tlhe dog-man...

and then I'll have

the man and the dog!

Ah ha! Mommy!

Nothing wacko about that!

Oh, isn't there, Dr. Wacko?

Ah. You're right on cue.

Ohh.

You really should've

seen that coming.

Ohh!

I'm sorry, Scott.

I just wanted us

to be together again.

I did it for us.

No. I'm the sorry one, Leonard.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have messed

with nature.

Oh, haven't you heard?

My good man, nature is dead.

Science is king!

Oh, that is just wrong

on so many levels.

Well, then riddle me this,

Dr. Krank.

Is it science on natune...

that makes you have to laugh...

when someone tickles you

under the armpits?

Pretty Boy, Jolly.

Stop it, you guys!

You keep him busy.

I'll take care of Krank.

You're too late.

No!

Whoa! Whoa!

Aah!

Oh, my goodness.

What? What is it?

Do I got spinach in my teeth?

Stop! Wait!

- Oh! Aah!

- Aah!

You are one butt-ugly man.

Well, I've been under

a little stress lately.

Whoa!

Hey!

Hey! Whoa! What's happened?

Uh-oh.

Olh. dann.

Wait a minute.

I've still got this.

Thank you, Dr. Krank!

No, no, you fool!

Quarters only!

A nickel will jam it!

You'll blow us all up!

That's a chance

I'll have to take.

Say auf wiedersehen...

- Aah!

- Wacko.

Aah!

Uhh!

Cool.

No! No! Help!

Uhh!

Oh, well. To quote

the immortal Bard...

which I don't believe I've yet

done in this entire adventure...

"All's well that end's well. "

LEONARD. Scott! Look out!

Quick! We got to get out

before it blows!

You go. There's one more thing

I've got to do.

It's my only chance.

Scott, what are you doing?

Scott! Scott!

Oh, Scott.

Stupid machine!

Stupid, stupid science!

Wake up, dear blue Spot.

Wake up.

SPO T. Olh. is tlhat you.

dean Blue Fainy?

How many times

I got to tell you, dog breath?

I ain't no fairy!

Spot? Is it really you?

In the fur.

Oh, Spot, you're back!

I had to come back, bunky.

I love ya,

and I want to be with ya.

Don't you remember?

Cue the violins.

# A friend needs a friend #

Everybody sing!

# A boy needs a... #

# Back on the south end

of the leash #

# Is where my place is #

# Chasing cars

and licking faces #

# A simple mutt

livin' a dog's life #

# Now I'm in the thrall

of nature's call #

# It's my destiny to be

man's best friend #

# And to bite

your own rear end #

# And so it's buh-bye

to species second guessing #

# This Rover's

learned his lesson #

# I'm proud to be a dog #

# The breed of Fido

can't be denied-o #

# Glad to be a dog #

# And dog enough to beg #

# A dog you must be #

# I'll be spot-on #

- # Because at last I see #

- Shh!

# That a tree needs a mom #

# And a sow needs a hog #

- # Just like London needs fog #

- # Or a princess a frog #

# Well, a friend

needs a friend #

# A road needs a bend #

# A film needs an end #

# A boy needs a dog #

# Needs a boy, needs a dog #

# Needs a boy, needs a dog,

needs a boy, needs a dog #

# Boy, dog, boy, dog, boy,

dog, boy, dog, boy #

# Dog #

Woof!

Though money may be

The root of all evil

Money,

it might not buy you love

Money won't bring you

happiness

Or grow new hair

or cure your stress

Won't get you

to the pearly gates above

But there's a bunch of things

that money can do

Put a shirt on your back

and a shine on your shoe

When the cash shows up,

I don't say "Boo"

I take the money

and run

'Cause love

can't buy a fancy car

Or fill your tank

If you want

the finer things

You'd better

break the bank

'Cause if there's one sure

thing that money can do

Put the pedal to the metal

when the rent comes due

When the money shows up,

baby, don't say "Boo"

Just take the money

and run

Oh, yeah,

take the money and run

Go, man, grab your stash,

get your cash

We're gonna have a bash
