TO PUT THE FREEWAY IN.
( Both gasp )
THE BULLDOZER WILL BE HERE IN TEN MINUTES.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
TUT-TUT, NOT TO WORRY, DOG.

THAT HAPPENED IN 1776?
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?
Dog: A BAD EVIL KING RULED THE LAND, BUT REVOLUTION WAS IN THE AIR.
( Crowd yelling )
( Clears throat )
GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!
WELL, MAYBE NOT DEATH.
TELL YOU WHAT MAKE THAT GIVE ME LIBERTY
OR A SPRAINED ANKLE.
( Crowd murmuring )
WE ALL MUST AFFIX OUR NAMES

I WROTE IT... I'M SIGNING FIRST.
( Growling and yelling )
Cat: AND SO, THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE WAS SIGNED.
YOU CANNOT TOUCH THIS HOUSE, MR. MAYOR.
EVERY KID IN NEARBURGH KNOWS THAT STORY.
TRUE, TRUE.
OH, AND DON'T FORGET
THIS HOUSE WAS A HOTBED OF HIPPIE HAPPENINGS
BACK IN THE '60s.
OH, YEAH, IT WAS THE PLACE TO BE
IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE.
WANT TO DANCE?
GROOVY.
SHE MEANT ME, MAN.
SHE MEANT US, MAN.
Mayor ( over bullhorn ): ALL RIGHT, YOU HIPPIES.
IT'S THE MAN, MAN.
BUMMER.
COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP.
NO, YOU COME IN AND FEEL THE LOVE.
BY ORDER OF THE CITY OF NEARBURGH
I'M CONFISCATING THIS HOUSE.
THE MUSIC'S TOO LOUD YOUR HAIR'S TOO LONG
AND YOU LOOK WEIRD.
SAYS YOU, ONE HEAD.
YOU CAN'T TAKE OUR HOUSE, MAN.
IT'S LIKE... OUR PAD, YOU KNOW?
YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS TO VACATE OR I SEND IN
LIKE, MY RIOT SQUAD, YOU KNOW?
PEACE, BROTHER.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PIECE OUT OF YOU.
DUH, THE ONLY GOOD HIPPIE
IS UM... A HIPPO.
THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING TO LEAVE THE HOUSE.
HECK NO, WE WON'T GO.
All: HECK NO, WE WON'T GO!
HECK NO, WE WON'T GO!
SO, UH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
AFTER THE PROTEST?
I ALREADY INVITED HER TO THE HUNGER STRIKE.
OH, MELLOW OUT.

NO, I THINK IT'S TIME
FOR YOU TO MELLOW OUT!
( Growling )
( Crowd screaming in distance )
EXCUSE ME, MATE, WHICH WAY TO SHEA STADIUM?
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
I GUESS A LOT OF HISTORICAL STUFF DID HAPPEN HERE.

OH, YES, I CAN.
( Giggles evilly )
YOU GUYS SOUND JUST LIKE MY MOTHER.
RANCY, YOU CAN'T TEAR THIS HOUSE DOWN.
( Screams )
( Giggles evilly )
YOU SOUND JUST LIKE GRANDMA.
( Giggles evilly )
TEAR IT DOWN!
OH, WITH PLEASURE.
I'VE DREAMED ABOUT THIS DAY.
DUH, I DREAMED I WAS A FISHY.
( Sighs ): I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, DOG.
IT'S OVER.
OH, NO, IT IS NOT!
THEY COULDN'T MOVE OUR FOREFATHERS OUT OF THIS HOUSE
AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO MOVE US!
DOG, WE ONLY HAD ONE FA...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
( Bulldozer engine revs )
OH, NO! GIVE ME THAT.
KEEP YOUR PAWS... STOP IT!
WILL YOU HAND ME THE KEY?
( Gulps )
GIVE ME THAT KEY.
OH, COME HERE, COME HERE.
( Whining and groaning )
( Horn signals )
OH.

( Grunting )
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?
LUNCH BREAK.
UNION RULES.
DUH, I COULD GO FOR A ONION ROLL.
( Sighs heavily )
PHEW!
( Both yelp )
I'M GOING TO BULLDOZE YOU TO SMITHEREENS
AND THEN I'M GOING TO BULLDOZE
THE SMITHEREENS TO SMITHEREENS.
GOOD-BYE, DOG.
GOOD-BYE, CAT.
Both: GOOD-BYE, HOUSE.
I LOVE YOU, MAN.
LEAPING LUMBAGO.
IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?
Cat: UM, ROTTEN OLD EGGS ON A WINDOW?
IT'S ME, WONDERFUL ME IN ALL MY GLORY.
NOBODY'S TOUCHING THIS HOUSE.
IT'S A SHRINE... HOME OF THE MIRACLE EGG.
YEE-HAW!
SO WE GET TO KEEP OUR HOUSE?
FOREVER.
AND NO FREEWAY, RIGHT?
LET'S NOT JUMP TO HASTY CONCLUSIONS, SHALL WE?
WHAT'S THE DEAL, MAN?
IT'S JUST AN EGG.
OH, LOOKS JUST LIKE MY AUNT SELMA.
MAN, I WISH I HAD SOME BACON.
WELL, WE SAVED OUR HOUSE
AND EVERYTHING WORKED OUT SWELL, RIGHT, CAT?
OH, YEAH, JUST TERRIFIC!
AW, LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE, CAT.
THE BRIGHT SIDE'S BLOCKED BY AN ON RAMP.
WE CAN PLAY THE LICENSE PLATE GAME ALL DAY LONG.
I HATE THAT GAME.
THERE'S ALASKA, OHIO... SO WHAT?
PADUCAH... THAT'S NOT EVEN A STATE!
SKINNYAPOLIS... ( groans )
( Sirens blaring )
( All talking at once )
Rancid: SETTLE DOWN, SETTLE DOWN.

IF THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM.
STAND AND RECITE THE PLEDGE.
All: WE WILL BE HONEST, KIND AND GOOD.
AND MAKE A LOT OF NEAT STUFF OUT OF BALSA WOOD.
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

LIKE A CHEESY CARTOON FLASHBACK.
( Whimpering )
Cat: MADAME?

ACROSS THIS BUSY THOROUGHFARE?
YAH, YAH, YAH, GIDDY-UP, GIDDY-UP.

DOGGY-DOG, WE ARE
ONE CAMPING TRIP AWAY FROM GREATNESS.
GREATNESS, HERE WE COME!

HI-HO, DIGGITY!

AND THAT'S HOW YOU CAMP BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON.
HEY, NICE TENT.

( Grumbles )
OH, NO, IT'S THE BEARDED LADY.
( Snickers )

AND MAY THE BEST FOREST FIRE BOY WIN.
DON'T WORRY, I WILL.
I SAID THE BEST BOY... ME!
Cat: YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WIN.
MAKING A SMORE WITHOUT CHOCOLATE.
WELL, NEITHER ARE YOU
WITHOUT ANY GRAHAM CRACKERS.
SAY, WHO WANTS TO HEAR A SCARY STORY?
( In high voice ): I DO, I DO, I DO.
OKAY, ROCKY.
WELL, ONCE THERE WAS A BIG, SCARY, HUNGRY BEAR
IN THE WOODS WHO LIKED TO EAT DOGS!
I'M SCARED.
( Chuckling )
GOOD.
THAT STORY REMINDS ME
OF THE BIG-EARED PSYCHO
WHO ESCAPED FROM NEARBY NEARBURGH PRISON.
( Gasps )
THEY NEVER FOUND HIM, DID THEY, CAT?
( Stammering ): N-N-NO.
( Wind blows )
HOLD ME.
( Thunder )
( Screams )
( Thunder cracks )
( Dog and Cat yelling )
DOG, WE'RE SLIPPING.
HELP!
DOES THIS MEAN WE'RE NOT FIGHTING ANYMORE?
FIGHT'S OVER.
WE'VE GOT TO THINK OF A WAY OUT OF THIS.
HELP, SOMEBODY... ANYBODY!
( Thunder cracks )
( Screams ): IT'S THE HUNGRY BEAR!
( Yelps )
NO, NO, IT'S THE BIG-EARED PSYCHO.
WHAT ARE YOU... NUTS?

( Dog and Cat yelling )
( Grunting )
THANKS FOR SAVING OUR LIFE, WINSLOW.
YEAH, THANKS.
NOW, GET LOST.
( Grumbling )
DOG, I, UH... ( gulps )
I'M GLAD WE'RE BACK TOGETHER.
THERE IS NO ONE I WOULD RATHER SHARE A TENT WITH.
( All talking at once )

OR I'll COME BACK THERE.
AND GIVE YOU WHAT FOR.
