| Dot: |
|
You know
I’m leaving tomorrow.
|
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
Where you
going? You didn’t tell me nothing ‘bout
you goin’ anywhere.
|
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
The
training starts tomorrow. You know where I go live
at the fire house for 3 weeks and then I start working. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
You can’t
go. You can’t leave me.
|
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Why should
I stay? Don’t nobody care about me.
If I do this I’ll be famous.
|
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
I
love you that’s why you can’t go. I care very
much about you. Remember when you got sick and went to
the hospital? I cried until I found out you was ok. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
What
you love me, for real? Whoa! I never knew
that. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
I told you
but you laughed at me.
|
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
I
am so sorry, I thought you was playin. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
Naw
I was dead serious I want you to have my puppies. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Oh
hell naw I ain’t havin’ no puppies, cuz then
I’ll never be able to be a fire dog. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
Your
mama had you and she’ still a fire dog. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Yeah
but she had me after she became one. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
Oh,
but if you go what am I supposed to do? I mean you
just gonna leave me all heartbroken? |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Maybe
you can go to training with me. |
|
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
I
never seen a German Shepherd as a fire dog. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
True
but you can be the first. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
I
don’t want to be a fire dog. I want you. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
You
can’t have me I’m leaving and that’s it. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
So if you
leave you ain’t gonna miss me?
|
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Yea I’ll
miss you but this is all I ever wanted to do.
|
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
What about
what I wanna do?
|
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
You
and that new dog down the street can make puppies. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
I
don’t like poodles they too high maintenance. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
I
think you should be happy for me I’m not going to
be a fire dog forever when I retire I’ll come back. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
You
know how I’m always there for you. If you leave who
will you go to? |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
I’m
not sure…
(aside)
He’s rightI won’t have anyone that knows me
for me except him. People just see me as just another
dog like I have no feelings. Snoop knows me, he knows
I have feelings, he know how easily I can get hurt. I
mean I can’t just pick up a phone, I’m a dog.I
don’t want to leave him but I don’t need to
stay.If I leave he’d think I abandoned him. I’d
think I left someone that really cared for me. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
(waving
his paw in front of Dot)
Hello, you still there? |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Yea,
sorry I was thinking about what you said. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
And… |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
What
are my options if I stay? |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
You
can be my baby mama and make me happy. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Yea
but I’ll be unhappy because I never did what I wanted.
I can go and be happy and be loved by everyone. If I became
a fire dog everyone would know me.The kids would show
me off. I’d be the most popular dog in Beverly Hills. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
I’ll
be all depressed if you go. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Snoop,
I never told you this but, I hate being here. My owners
don’t pay any attention to me, They will be watchin’
TV and I’d be sittin’ right there next to them,
and they won’t even pet me. The kids will stare at
me more than they play with me. I don’t feel like
I belong here. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
I
think your owners are nice at least you get to go inside
their house. But the reason I need you to stay is ever
since my brother and sister were born I haven’t felt
loved by my mom or anybody really. It’s like I’m
the man of the yard ever since they took my dad to the
pound. I think if I became a father I would have my loving
family. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
You’re
the only reason I haven’t run away.I care about you.
You’re my best friend, but I don’t love you
like you love me. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
So
I guess I should just go get hit be a car.Since you don’t
love me I have no reason to live. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Nooo!
Don’t do that, I couldn’t stand not to see you
anymore. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
Then
you should stay. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
I
guess so, but I really want to do this. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
Wouldn’t
you be happy with me. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Yes
but I would still be in the same situation with my owners. |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
Our
puppies would show both of us happiness, neither one of
us would be useless. What if you get hurt?Didn’t
one of your friends get burned really bad?I wouldn’t
want that to happen to you.If being a fire dog wasn’t
dangerous and you’d still live here, I wouldn’t
mind you leaving but it’s not like that. And if you
go you will probably never have puppies don’t you
want a family?And you’re going to have to follow
all those orders and rules. I know you don’t like
that. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
What
if I do go, I could get burned in a fire. I don’t
want that. If I stay can we run away somewhere? |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
Yea
we can go somewhere far away so you don’t have to
ever see your owners anymore. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
Ok
I’ll stay. I don’t want to be a fire dog it’s
too dangerous.Ever since I was born I dreamed of having
a family.My parents were kind of forcing me to follow
in their footsteps, so I felt obligated to be a fire dog
because that’s what Dalmations do. I was just going
to make my parents proud of me.I’ve finally realized
how much I really do love you.Can we leave now? |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
Yea
let’s go. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
How
are we going to get out of our leashes? |
| |
|
|
| Snoop: |
|
Chew
it until it breaks. Mines is cheap it broke already. |
| |
|
|
| Dot: |
|
I
can’t break mine, help me.
(Snoop runs over and chews her leash. It breaks.They
turn and run down the street). |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
End. |
