YOU'LL SEE FOR YOURSELF, MOM.
I'M TOP DOG AROUND HERE.
AND YOU'LL BE SO PROUD OF ME.
"TOP DOG". WHO'S HE KIDDING?
EVERYBODY KNOWS
I RUN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO.
ONE TOP DOG COMING DOWN.
PICK YOU UP AT THE STATION.
NOISE? WHAT NOISE?
I'LL HAVE EVERYTHING READY FOR YOUR ARRIVAL.
OK, MOM. I GOT TO GO.
AAH!
GRR!
OK, SPIKE. WHAT'S THIS BALONEY
ABOUT YOU BEING TOP DOG AROUND HERE?
YIKES!
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
THOSE TWO AGAIN.
YEOW!
[PANTING]
HEATHCLIFF, I GOT A BIG FAVOR TO ASK YOU.
YOU SEE, MY MOTHER IS COMING TO VISIT,
AND I SORT OF TOLD HER I WAS TOP DOG AROUND HERE.
AND I'D LIKE YOU NOT TO DO ANYTHING
THAT MIGHT MAKE IT APPEAR THAT I WASN'T.
UH, YOU MEAN, LIKE THIS?
YABBLE BIBBLE RABBLE BABBLE BABBLE!
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU OUT, SPIKE,
BUT I DO HAVE MY REPUTATION TO MAINTAIN.
I'LL BRING YOU LOTS OF FANCY FOOD.
SPIKE, I DO BELIEVE WE'RE ON THE ROAD
TO POSSIBLE NEGOTIATIONS.
BE RIGHT DOWN. HERE I COME.
AAH!
BIBBIDY-BOOGIDY- BOOGIDY-BOO.
DON'T FORGET THE FANCY FOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
ANCHOVIES, CAVIAR,
IMPORTED SARDINES IN TOMATO SAUCE.
SOLE ALMONDINE, TUNA CASSEROLE,
SMOKED OYSTERS.
SPIKE, WHERE DID YOU GET ALL OF THIS STUFF?
NEVER MIND.
IT'S ALL YOURS IF YOU AGREE
TO BACK OFF WHILE MY MOM IS VISITING.
HEH HEH HEH.
AHH.
WHERE IS SHE?
MAYBE MOM MISSED THE TRAIN.
GEE, I SURE HOPE I DON'T DISAPPOINT HER.
SHE'LL PROBABLY TAKE ONE LOOK AT ME
AND THINK I'M FAT.
REOOOW! REOOOW!
YOU HOOLIGANS EVER TRY TO SWIPE MY SUITCASE AGAIN,
I'LL REALLY PUT MY FOOT DOWN.
MOM.
IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU, MOM.
DID YOU HAVE SOME TROUBLE WITH THOSE CATS?
NOTHING YOUR OLD MOM CAN'T HANDLE.
LET ME LOOK AT YOU.
YOU SURE YOU'RE EATING ENOUGH?
YOU'RE ALL SKIN AND BONES.
OOH.
YOU'LL BE REAL PROUD OF ME, MOM.
I'M THE UNDISPUTED KING OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AHH. JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER.
SPIKE, ARE YOU SURE
YOU'RE GETTING ENOUGH EXERCISE?
Y-OHH!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE, SPIKE?
AND A-ONE, A-TWO, A-TWREE.
UPSIDE-DOWN AEROBICS, MOM.
YOU SHOULD TRY IT.
IMPROVES THE CIRCULATION %100.
HEE HEE HEE HEE.
YOU WON'T BE IN CIRCULATION FOR LONG.
KEEP IT UP, SON.
I'LL JUST GO INSIDE AND UNPACK.
HOO HOO HOO.
YEOW!
HIYA, GENIUS.
[GROWLING]
MY, MY.
IT LOOKS LIKE SPIKE HAS A VISITOR.
HI, MOM. UH, HOW'D THE UNPACKING GO?
OH. JUST FINE.
WELL, MOM, I'M KIND OF TIED UP RIGHT NOW.
I'LL SEE YOU A LITTLE LATER.
I'M GLAD TO SEE SPIKE HAS SO MANY PLAYMATES.
I JUST HOPE HE ISN'T TOO ROUGH ON THEM.
HA HA HA.
LOOKS LIKE HEATHCLIFF FINALLY GOT TIRED OF BUGGING ME.
THE TWERP.
MY, WHAT A CUTE BABY.
SPIKE, YOU MUST SEE THIS BABY.
HE IS THE CUTEST THING.
Mom: HOW SWEET. THE BABY'S LEARNING TO SHARE HIS FOOD.
OHH.
HI, SPIKE.
THANKS FOR MEETING ME, SONJA.
IT'S REAL IMPORTANT.
[SNIFFS]
THEY'RE LOVELY.
BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BOTHERED.
OH, IT WAS NO BOTHER.
YOU MIGHT SAY I SORT OF PICKED THEM UP ON THE WAY.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, SPIKE?
HOW CAN I HELP?
PLEASE, YOU GOT TO TALK TO HEATHCLIFF.
HAVE HIM STOP TORMENTING ME WHILE MY MOM'S HERE.
I TOLD HER I WAS TOP DOG,
AND IF SHE FINDS OUT I'M NOT,
SHE'LL BE SO DISAPPOINTED.
AND HEATHCLIFF WON'T LISTEN TO ME,
BUT HE'LL LISTEN TO YOU.
OH, POOR, POOR SPIKE.
OF COURSE I'LL TALK TO HEATHCLIFF.
A MOTHER'S RESPECT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR A SON.
YOU WILL?
Heathcliff: NO WAY.
HEATHCLIFF, SOMETIMES IT TAKES
GREATER STRENGTH OF CHARACTER
TO DO SOMETHING THIS DIFFICULT.
IF YOU LEFT SPIKE ALONE WHILE HIS MOM'S HERE,
WHY, THIS WOULD SHOW ME A WHOLE NEW SIDE
OF YOUR WONDERFUL PERSONALITY.
THAT'S RIGHT, HEATHCLIFF.
WHO ASKED YOU, FLEABRAIN?
SO IF I DID THIS FOR SPIKE,
YOU'D THINK EVEN MORE OF ME?
IT WOULD SHOW ME A NEW LEVEL OF MATURITY IN YOU.
OK, BUT ONLY FOR A DAY.
THAT'S IT.
I'LL LET YOU BREATHE EASY,
BUT ONLY IN FRONT OF YOUR MOM.
OH, BOY. THIS IS GREAT.
OK, BOYS. SHAKE HANDS.
THANKS, HEATHCLIFF.
Y-AHH!
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME.
YES, MOM,
HEATHCLIFF IS MY GREATEST ADMIRER.
HELLO.
I'M HEATHCLIFF.
UH, PLEASE, DON'T GET UP.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU.
SPIKE'S TOLD ME SO MUCH ABOUT YOU.
SO, WHAT'S IT LIKE
BEING THE PRESIDENT OF SPIKE'S FAN CLUB?
[MUMBLING]
UH, HE SAYS IT'S A PRIVILEGE.
DON'T YOU LIKE IT?
IT'S YOUR FAVORITE.
PEANUT BUTTER AND LIVERWURST.
PHOOEY.
YOU MUST ADMIRE SPIKE ENORMOUSLY.
WORDS ALONE CANNOT EXPRESS WHAT I FEEL.
OH, SPIKE, I'M SO PROUD.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE HOW STRONG
AND FULL OF CHARACTER YOU ARE.
DON'T YOU AGREE, HEATHCLIFF?
OH, UH, HE'S A CHARACTER, ALL RIGHT.
OOPS. IT LOOKS LIKE I FORGOT THE NAPKINS.
[GROWLING]
OH, SPIKE,
YOU'RE SUCH A MESSY EATER.
I THOUGHT AFTER LUNCH WE COULD ALL
GO FOR A STROLL DOWNTOWN.
NO, NOT ME. THANKS.
HEATHCLIFF WOULD LOVE TO JOIN US, WOULDN'T YOU?
OH, SURE.
YEOW!
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SUCH GET-UP-AND-GO?
WELL, IF IT AIN'T SPIKE AND HIS NEW GANG.
IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW,
SPIKE HAPPENS TO BE TOP DOG AROUND HERE.
SO WATCH IT.
SPIKE? TOP DOG?
[LAUGHTER]
YOU HEARD MY MOM.
YOU GUYS MAYBE WANT TO STEP INTO THE ALLEY
AND DISCUSS THIS SUBJECT FURTHER?
THAT'S MY BOY. SHOW THEM WHO'S BOSS.
BE BACK IN A SECOND.
WHY DO I HAVE THE FEELING
I'M MAKING A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
THERE'S NO WAY SPIKE CAN LICK THOSE FOUR MUGS.
OH, SONJA WILL BE MAD
IF I LET HIM GET CLOBBERED.
OH. DON'T GO IN THERE. YOU MIGHT GET HURT.
COME AND GET US, TOP DOG.
[LAUGHTER]
CHECK OUT THE DUMB-LOOKING CAT.
[LAUGHTER]
All: HEATHCLIFF?
LET THEM HAVE IT, SPIKE.
AH, SPIKE, YOU WERE WONDERFUL.
WAIT TILL I TELL EVERYONE BACK HOME.
BOY, SPIKE, ARE YOU EVER GOING TO GET IT.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, SPIKE.
AND DON'T BE TOO MUCH OF A BULLY
WITH YOUR LITTLE CAT FRIEND.
REMEMBER, YOU MUST BE COMPASSIONATE
TO THOSE WHO AREN'T AS GIFTED AS YOU ARE.
SURE, MOM.
I SAID MOVE IT WITH THAT SUITCASE.
YEOW!
[HONKS]
BYE, SPIKE. AND HEATHCLIFF,
TAKE CARE OF MY SON FOR ME, WON'T YOU?
OH, DON'T WORRY. I WILL.
[NERVOUS LAUGH]
BYE-BYE, MOM.
[SNIFFS]
WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE
IF I HAD 5 SECONDS HEAD START?
[GROWLING]
BYE, MOM.
[BELL RINGING]
[SNORING]
WHOA!
HEY, WATCH IT.
WHAT? HUH? WHO?
[MEOWING]
[RINGING]
RISE AND SHINE.
PUT YOUR BEDS IN LINE.
PUT YOUR 2 FEET--
WHOA!
ON THE FLOOR.
I THINK THERE'S A LITTLE LEFT TO EAT.
THIS?
THIS YOU CALL BREAKFAST?
HOW CAN I BE SEEN EATING A BEAN?
WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY
TO MAKE SOME BIG MONEY, QUICK.
RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.
GET MOVING. WE'VE GOT TO GET THE WANT ADS.
BOMBS AWAY.
I GOT IT.
I GOT IT?
I GOT IT.
DUH, I GOT IT.
I GOT IT.
GIVE ME.
I GOT IT.
IT'S MINE.
THIS IS THE ANSWER TO OUR FOOD SHORTAGE.
NOT TO MENTION FAME, AND--
SO WHO'S THE CAT IN THE HAT?
[SNAPPING]
SAMMY SHORT,
THE BEST DANCER IN THE WORLD.
DUH, I THOUGHT YOU
WERE THE BEST DANCER IN THE WORLD.
I AM, BUT I DON'T LIKE GOING ON THE ROAD.
ON THE OTHER HAND,
YOU GUYS WOULD BE PERFECT.
FOR WHAT?
AS DANCERS IN SAMMY'S COMPANY.
HE'S HOLDING AUDITIONS NEXT WEEK.
I'M READY TO TAKE FLIGHT AND SEE THE SIGHTS.
LONDON, PARIS,
TOKYO, HERE WE COME.
WHOA!
[THUD]
YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO NEED A LOT OF PRACTICE...
AND TALENT.
THIS IS OUR BIG CHANCE TO BE STARS.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO FIRST?
WELL, YOU NEED THE RIGHT CLOTHES
AND A PLACE TO REHEARSE.
BUT WE AIN'T GOT THE BREAD
TO GET NEW THREADS.
LOOK AROUND.
THE BEST CLOTHES IN THE WORLD
ARE RIGHT AT YOUR PAWTIPS.
[SNORING]
NOW WHAT?
DUH, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Hector: NOT BAD.
NOT GOOD.
CHECK THIS OUT.
THAT'S ONE CUCKOO TUTU.
LOOK, MA, I'M DANCING.
[SIGHS]
All: TA-DA!
MOTHER TOLD ME THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THIS.
I TOLD YOU, NO MOVING THE STUFF.
CALM DOWN, LEROY.
THE BOYS ARE JUST PRACTICING THEIR DANCING.
NOT ON MY TURF, THEY AIN'T.
NOTHING GETS MOVED.
AND WE EVEN HAD A PEACE OFFERING FOR YOU.
WOWEE!
FETCH.
HE AIN'T GOING TO LET US REHEARSE HERE.
NOT ONLY IS HE GOING TO LET YOU REHEARSE,
HE'S GOING TO CLEAN AN AREA FOR US.
IT'S NOT NICE TO PLAY TRICKS ON ME.
I WAS JUST WHETTING YOUR APPETITE.
FETCH, BOY.
NOW ALL WE NEED IS A LITTLE DANCE MUSIC.
I GOT MY NONSTOP BEBOP.
YEAH, BUT WE CAN'T HEAR IT.
NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
RIFF RAFF'S SUCH A GAS.
OK. LET ME SHOW YOU A FEW BASIC STEPS.
OOF. OW. AH.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO NEED
MORE HELP THAN I CAN GIVE YOU.
I'M GOING TO GET CLEO.
I CAN'T FACE THE WORLD
IF I'M TAKING LESSONS FROM A GIRL.
YOU'LL BE LUCKY IF I CAN GET HER.
[KNOCK KNOCK]
WAIT A MINUTE.
I HEAR A WOODPECKER.
HI, BUSH.
HOLD IT.
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED IN HERE.
BEAT IT.
FETCH IT, BUSH.
[WOOF WOOF WOOF]
HA HA HA.
HOW IS IT YOU CAN NEVER MAKE A QUIET ENTRANCE?
IT'S NOT MY STYLE.
I GOT GOOD NEWS, CLEO.
YOU WON THE LOTTERY.
BETTER. I GOT A PLAN
TO SEND THE GUYS ON THE ROAD
PERFORMING WITH SAMMY SHORT.
BUT SAMMY IS A DANCER.
THOSE THREE CATS CAN'T EVEN WALK STRAIGHT.
ALL THEY NEED IS FOR YOU TO COACH THEM FOR A WEEK.
THEN IT'S JUST YOU AND ME, BABY.
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR TINY LITTLE MIND?
THERE'S NO WAY THAT I'M GETTING INVOLVED.
COME ON. GET THOSE LEGS UP.
3...4.
OHH.
1...2...3...4.
CAN'T YOU GUYS COUNT TO 4?
DUH, 1...3...
UH, ELEVENTEEN.
I CAN'T TAKE IT.
TAKE 5, GUYS.
DON'T QUIT NOW.
THE AUDITION IS TOMORROW.
DID YOU SEE THEM?
ROCKS HAVE MORE RHYTHM THAN THESE TURKEYS.
LET'S GIVE THEM A LITTLE INSPIRATION.
HIT IT.
[FAST MUSIC PLAYS]
Cleo: NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT.
SEE? IT'S EASY.
GET DOWN, CLEO.
All: YAY!
ALL RIGHT!
YAY!
WAY TO GO.
YOU GUYS SHOULD AUDITION INSTEAD OF US.
YOU HAVE IT MADE IN THE SHADE.
AND YOU CAN DANCE GOOD, TOO.
THEY HAVE A POINT, YOU KNOW.
WE COULD AUDITION.
ARE YOU CRAZY?
I THOUGHT THE PLAN
WAS TO LOSE YOUR SHADOWS.
LET'S FACE IT.
THEY DON'T HAVE A PRAYER,
BUT WE COULD DO IT.
I DON'T KNOW, RIFFY.
WE'D BE PRESENTED TO ROYALTY.
EAT IN THE BEST RESTAURANTS.
WELL...
NEXT.
Sammy Short: NEXT.
I'M SCARED, RIFFY.
HE'S GOING TO LOVE US.
WARM UP THOSE DANCING SHOES,
SAMMY SHORT IS CALLING YOUSE.
GOOD LUCK--OOPS.
IT'S BAD LUCK TO SAY "GOOD LUCK" IN SHOW BIZ.
Short: NEXT.
I HOPE YOU BREAK BOTH LEGS.
BEGIN.
AH-CHOO.
CATS? AH-CHOO.
WHO LET THOSE CATS IN--AH-CHOO--HERE?
I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN OPEN AUDITION.
I'M ALLERGIC TO CATS. AH-CHOO.
GET THEM OUT OF HERE.
GET ME A DOCTOR.
All: AAH!
ANY OTHER BRIGHT IDEAS?
Leroy: AND HERE THEY ARE,
THE STARS OF THE SHOW,
RIFF RAFF AND CLEO.
[APPLAUSE]
ANOTHER SOLD-OUT HOUSE.
[CHEERING]
IT MAY NOT BE PARIS,
BUT IT IS HOME.
Crowd: YAY!
BRAVO! YAY! HOORAY!
