NAPOLEON: Beneath this towering maple

lives an animal

with the savage soul of a jungle beast.

I am a fearless warrior.

But unfortunately...

I look like this.

[DOGS HOWLING IN DISTANCE]

There it goes!

[HOWLING CONTINUES]

The howl of the wild dogs!

I'm coming, guys! I'm joining the pack.

I'm gonna get to the jungle,

I just have to get over this...

Oops! Forgot it was this high.

[HOWLING CONTINUES]

They're calling me. They need me to help hunt.

They've heard about my incredible strength.

Ooh, whoa!

Out there I'd roam wild. I'd kill for my food.

I'd... Uh-oh, what's that?

[KIDS CHATTERING]

Balloons.

That means there's gonna be trouble.

Time for my keen survival instincts to take over.

Whoops!

Uh-oh.

Muffin? Was that you, Muffin?

Mom, please. I told you,my name is Napoleon!I'm a conqueror!

I hope she doesn't see that flower pot.

Oh, no, here they come!

Muffin, come on, boy!Where are you, Muffin?

KIDS: Muffin, Muffin!Come on, Muffin.

Whoa!

Muffin, dear...

I'm fine!

Hey, candy!

Yeow!

Look at them.

I can run ten times fasterthan that, and they know it.

[KIDS CHATTERING EXCITEDLY]

Listen to them.

If I attacked, then they'd really have something to scream about.

Hey, I got an idea. Let's throw some dork in the water!

I said dork, not dog!

I hate the water.

KID: You're a cutie,cute little Muffin!

You're a cutelittle Muffin.

You're so cute.

Hey, kids, time for birthday cake.

[KIDS CHEERING]

Hey, wait for me!

Hey, hey, what about me?

I can't swim.

Oh, please don't let me fall in.

Muffin, did you get your little paws wet?

Little paws?

What more can I expect?I'm cursed with cute looks.

I'll show them.

How about a little slobberon this propeller cap?

Next time it spins,a spit storm!

Where are you going, dear, hmm?

Just trying to have some fun, Ma.

Hey, look at that!

That's something newfor Napoleon to investigate.

The crowd cheersas Napoleon enters the basket.

Listen to how they yell!

Muffin! Get out of there immediately! Immediately!

There's no Muffin in here,only Napoleon!

Come on, Mom, I'm just playing.

Jump out now! I said, jump out now!

Look at me, I'm flying!

I'm high in the sky!I'm... Uh-oh.

Muffin, jump down from there right now!

Oh... Now he's up too high.

Mom!

Mommy! Should I jump?

No, don't jump! Don't jump!

The trees will catch you. Just stay in the basket.

And don't try anything foolish!

Just sit still, you'll be all right!

Very cool.

Wow! Let's go back and do that again!

No, no! Back, back! Towards the train!

Stupid wind, you're blowing the wrong way.

This is not good.This is definitely not good.

I'm heading out towards the water!

Oh, the only thing I hate worse than being in the water

is being this high above it!

Hey, help!There's a puppy up here!

Doesn't anybodyfind that a little weird?

Come on, balloons,go down, go down, go down!

Oh, no, stay up, stay up!

I don't like all this water.

I'm getting seasick just looking at it.

What's that? Huh?

Help! Help!

Stop! Hey! Slow down!

No one's evergonna find me out here.

[SQUAWKS]

When did dogs start migrating?

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Oh, I didn't see you.

My name is Muff... I mean, Napoleon.

I'm Birdo.Birdo Lucci.

What are youdoing up here?

Trying to get down. You've gotta help me.

I don't like it up here.

Look, we're comingnear land.Maybe I can jump!

Just get back in the basket, fur-ball. Okay?

You don't want to be out. You want to sit down.

Sit! Sit down. That's a good dog. Bad dog!

[EXCLAIMS]No, no, bad dog! Don't try and get out,

[EXCLAIMS]'cause it's just too far down!

Oh, my goodness!

NAPOLEON: So howam I gonna get down?

I have an idea.

Will you stop fidgeting?Stop fidgeting!

Stop pecking!

Stop it!I'm still,I'm still, okay?

Here's the idea.

It's gotta bevery precisely timed,

as soon as we'reover that beachdown there.

What are you gonna do?

The basket is traveling southeast... Ooh!

Hey! What happened? Where'd you go?

I'm fine. Now, I'll just bring this thing in for a perfect landing,

just...

[BALLOON POPS]

Uh-oh.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

Whoa! Hey, take it easy.

This'll bring you in for a...

Hey!...nice, soft landing.

[BALLOON POPPING]

Whoa!

Flap your paws, Napoleon! Flap your paws!

What am I saying? Jump out!You'll get killed in that...

Oh, no!

Oh, dear! What have I done?

Oh, my goodness!

That was nice and soft?

I'd hate to see what you consider a crash landing!

Crash landing or not, I got you down, didn't I?

Oh, my neck.

[CRACKS]That's better.

A little bruised, but feeling fine.

In fact, feeling incredibly fine and free!

Oh, and I suppose I did nothing.

Are you listening to me? Napoleon!

Oh! Where's that fluff-ball running off to?

Look at that! The world I left behind.

So long, city.This is my chance to be free,

to live life without rules,

to hunt and playand stay up as late as I want.

[SADLY] So long, Mom.

[DOGS HOWLING]

Hey, it's the wild dogs!

Hey, Birdo!Come with me!

We'll find 'em together.We'll be like two explorers.

I'll barkif I smell them down here,

and you'll chirpif you spot them up there!

BIRDO: I don't chirp, I tweet.

It's an entirely different sound.

Chirping is annoying and grating,

but tweeting is melodic and soothing.

[BIRDO TWEETS]

Hello?

Sorry, I'm just so excited.I'm joining the savage beasts!

Yeah, you look awfully savage in that red ribbon! Ha!

I'd love to help you, but I belong out in that forest.

That's where my flock's headed.

I lost them when I stopped to help you.

Now, why don't both of usjust get along home?

No! I won't go home and be a house pet.

Never, never, never!

There's nothing worsethan a puppy in denial.

[SQUAWKING]

BIRDO: You won't last a minute out here in the wild.

You'll be killed before nightfall!

Tomorrow the vultures will be pecking off flesh from your bones

and pecking your eyes out...

You're just trying to scare me.

I don't have to scare you,

there'll be plenty of other animals to do that!

If you think I'll stick around to watch...

I don't believe you,and I'm not going back now.I've made up my mind!

Now, where are they?

Where would I be if I was a wild dog?

[HOWLING IN DISTANCE]

It's coming from over that way!

Back home I'd have to be in bed by now.

But out here,all the rules are off.

I can stay up all night if I feel like it.

[OWL HOOTS]

I can go anywhere I want.This is great.

[OWL HOOTING]

OWL: Hoo, hoo.

It's me, me.

Go back to your home, puppy.

[CHUCKLING] I don'tsee a puppy here.

Awful things happen to pets out here in the wild.

Yeah, sure. Like what?

They learn to kill,and they can't stop.

NAPOLEON: You're just trying to scare me.

I've seen it happen. It happened to a cat.

SPIDER: Oh, what an untangled web I weave.

Oh, you've come to admire this fabulous piece of art?

Actually I was wonderingif you knew a good placeto sleep out here?

SPIDER: Is my webnot beautiful?

I use no knitting needles.Just my eight little feet.

I think you missed a spot.

SPIDER: Okay, where?

Um, there. Right there.

Get your nose out of there!You know how longthis took me to...

Hey, watch the tail!

Oh, sorry! Yuck!Get this off of me!

[NAPOLEON EXCLAIMING]

Now look what you've done.

You're lucky you're not a fly.

[SNORTS]

Finally got that web out of my nose.

[GASPING] I neversaw a tree like that.

It looks like it's gota tunnel through its trunk.

And it looks likethe perfect placeto spend the night.

I even smell some food.

I wonder if somebody lives here.

NAPOLEON: Hello!

Is that a mouse I hear?

Where do they keeptheir snacks?

Just as I thought.

Huh?

CAT: Can't have any micecrawling around my house.

Hmm. This smells good.

Furry mouse. Big, yellow mouse.

[RUSTLING]What's that?

Is it a wild dog?

NAPOLEON: Hello? Any wild dogs out there?

Hmm.

Time to rid my house of the mouse.

Huh? What?

The mouse.

Good thing I'm not a mouse.

You can't fool mewith that pitiful disguise!

I'll rip it off you!

[NAPOLEON EXCLAIMS]

[HISSING]

Whoa! This cat's nuts! Thinks I'm a mouse!

Oh, no! Darn ribbon!

[GRUNTING]I gotta pull hard!

[HISSING]

[CAT GROWLING]

[WHIMPERING]

It's okay. I'm safe here.

I think she's gone.

Slash the mousie.

NAPOLEON: Oh, no!

[GROWLING]

Whoa, deep water!

[GROWLING]

Oh, no!

What's the matter?Can't swim?

Listen to me. I'm not a mouse.

You are a deeply disturbed animal...

CAT: Shut up!

CAT: My job is to destroyall vermin in this house.

Mouse must die.

Now!

[HISSING]

[CAT GROWLING]

Stay back!

I warned you about her.

What's the matter? Can't swim?

Thank you.

Go home.

OWL: That cat won't restuntil you're dead.

NAPOLEON: That cat is fish food by now.

[CHUCKLES]

You're dead, mousie!

NAPOLEON'S MOM: Rise and shine, Muffin. It's a beautiful morning.

Time to get up, Muffin. Wake up...

I'm up, Mom.

Mommy?

Guess I was dreaming.

I really thought I was back home.

But I'm not, and that's that.

So my first day wasn't so great.

That's all behind me.

I made it through the first night away from home,

and now I don't have to worry about that stupid cat.

Oh, no, a river!

I hate the water.

Why does water scare me so much?

BIRDS: "Why does water scare me so much?"

"Why does water scare me so much?"

Hey, stop makingfun of me.

"Hey, stop making fun of me."

I'm just trying to findthe wild dogs.

Well, you know what?They're on the other side...

Oh.

Of the water!

[BIRDS LAUGHING AND MOCKING]

I guess I'm gonna have to do it.

BIRDS: "Guess I'm gonna have to do it."

[LAUGHING]

Okay. I can do this.

I'm not gonna let a little water stop me,

for I am...

[GULPS]

Napoleon.

BIRD 1: Think he'll make it?

BIRD 2: Are you kidding?BIRD 3: [CHUCKLING] No way!

Whoa! Oh, cold! Whoa, look out.

Hmm. This dog's nuts.

I did it! I did it!

Hey, do you know where the wild dogs are?

You're headed in the right direction. Just keep going.

Thanks. What's withthose birds back there?

Oh, they just mimic everything.

Hey, that gives me an idea.

Wait! Wait! Wait! That's the wrong way!

I want to teach those birds a lesson.

Oh, here he comes!Hurry.

Okay, come on.Here he comes!

I'm back.

ALL: "I'm back!"

I'm a stupid bird.

ALL: "I'm a stupid bird." Oh!

BIRDS: Oh, what a nastylittle dog!

There. That shut them up.

And you know what? I like walking over waterfalls.

Where's the next one?

A wild dogmust be ready to pounceat any suspicious sound.

[GROWLING]

Like that one!

NAPOLEON: I'll scare offwhatever vicious beastwaits ahead,

no matter how terrifying.

Hmm?

NAPOLEON:I'll give this thingmy warning growl.

[GROWLS SOFTLY]

[SARCASTICALLY] Oh, I'm so frightened.

My stomach growls louder than that.

Yeah, well, I didn't want to scare you.

Yeah, right. Nice try.

You know, I've got killer instincts.

[GROANING]

Oh, I hate climbing down.

Why are allthe good leaves up top?

Time to move on to the next tree.

That is, if you can restrain your killer instincts.

Look, buddy, my biteis a lot worse than my bark.

You're just luckyyou're not whatI like to eat.

You should have seenwhat I did to this catlast night.

She must have been10 feet tall,

a hundred pounds,and I took care of her.

So you better watch out.

Underneath my fur, my flesh is crawling.

Look, I'm justtrying to find wherethe wild dogs live.

Do I look like a wild dog to you?

I don't even have a tail.

[HOWLING IN DISTANCE]

That's it! That's the sound!

I do not associatewith any creatures

that make that dreadful noise.

Look, I could really use your help.

I can't seem to spot them.

So I thought maybe while you're up in a tree you could...

Ah! So you finallyget around to the truth.

You need me.Can't climb trees,can you?

I can climb anything.

Back home I climbed over a wall twice as big as that tree.

Then you shouldhave no problemclimbing up

and joining me for dinner.

Come on! Here we go!Hut, two!

All right, I can't do that.

I was just trying to be tough.

Yeah, yeah.

NAPOLEON: Do you see the wild dogs?

Let's see...

No wild dogs on this leaf.

None over here.

Hey, what's the big idea?

I forgot to mention. Can't see farther than three feet.

You are the rudest animal I have ever met.

Well, I may be rude, but at least I'm not deluded.

I don't need his help.I don't need anyone's help.

[BIRD SQUAWKS]I can do it. Huh?

[BIRD SQUAWKING]

I can do itall on my own.

I am Napoleon.A conqueror who learnsto fend for himself.

Napoleon! Is that you down there?

Stand back!

I'm about to make a graceful,perfect two-point landing!

Well, it's improved, anyway.

Birdo!

Thanks to you,I can't findmy flock anywhere.

Cheer up. I have a bird joke for you.

What does a 500-pound parrot say?

"Polly want a cracker now!"

Polly want a cracker? Oh, hold on...

[LAUGHING]

Oh, that is a scream!

Wait a minute.What?

That is not a bit funny. That is insulting to birds!

It's just a stereotype.

Calm down!

It was just a joke, Birdo.

This is no laughing matter.

Now, we've both lost our homes.

This is my home.

Don't be ridiculous. You won't last a week out here.

BIRDO: You can't even fend for yourself.

Well, then, teach me,Birdo. Come on.

Teach you? What do I look like?

Oh, is this millet?Ah, gravel!

It would take too longfor you to learnhow to live out here,

and I don't have timeto teach a new dog old tricks.

I'm a quick learner. I'll bet it'd be fun.

Fun? Ha!

You know nothing of living in the wild!

BIRDO: You belong backin your dog house.

No, I won't go back!

Out here, I feel free. I feel like a conqueror.

At home, they don't even call me Napoleon.

They call me...

Oh, well. Now,what is it they call youthat's so terrible?

NAPOLEON: Well, don't tell anyone, okay?

It's our secret.

Back home, they call me...

Muffin.

Muffin? Ooh, my, my.

FROG: [LAUGHING] Muffin?

NAPOLEON: Who's that?

FROG: Muffin.Hey, stop making fun of me!

Muffin.

[BIRDS LAUGHING]

NAPOLEON: I'll never go home now.

I never want to hear that name again.

Oh, no, I thought this thingwas attached to the shore.

Oh!

Why do I always end up in the water?

Do I look like a fish?

All right. Well, at least this thing is moving.

I'll just sit tightand wait till it reachesthe other side.

This is going towork out just fine.

Great. Where's the wind when you need it?

Sure, when I was in the balloon

it was blowing me all over the place.

Now, when I could use it...

BIRDO: Well, how far do you expect to get without a sail or an oar?

Okay, so maybe I forgot a few details.

Well, you justgonna sit therelike a pup on a log?

Come on, jump off.Swim back.

Uh, I have another secret for you, Birdo.

I can't swim.

Well, of course you can swim.

I can't.

BIRDO: Ever hearof the dog paddle?

Yeah, so?

BIRDO: So, you're a dog.Get in the waterand start paddling.

I don't know how. I can't! I'll drown!

You can do this, Napoleon!

All you need is a little push!

Hey!

Just pretend like you're running.

Hey, I'm swimming. I can swim!

Once again, the bird gets no credit.

I'm really good at this.

Look, Birdo, I'm swimming!

Not bad, hmm. Not bad.

Go, pup, go!

I did it!

Birdo, I'm slipping! I can't get out!

BIRDO: Now, it's easy.Your front legsare for pulling,

and your back legsare for pushing.

So, push!

I made it!

Of course you did.

Now, if I'm gonnabe your teacher,you have to trust me.

Lesson number one, food.

BIRDO: Worms havevery good nutritional value.

Slugs are extremely juicy and tender,

and these seeds make a wonderful between-meal snack.

They're high in fiber and they won't fill you up.

Yuck! This isn'twhat wild dogs eat!

This isn't what any dogs eat.

There's somethingyou might prefer over there.

NAPOLEON: What's to eat over there?

BIRDO:Oh, it's what you want.

It's what you've been waiting for.

The food of wild dogs.

RABBITS: ♪ Happiness is hopping

♪ Leaping, never sleeping,never stopping

You want me to eat those?

You want to eat,

you gotta learn to kill.

Kill those little hoppy things?

RABBITS: ♪ Legs are made for jumping

♪ Feet are made for thumping

NAPOLEON: How am Isupposed to do that?

With your fangs and your claws!

Ready to go home now?

No, I'm, uh,just trying to figure out

which one will bethe tastiest.

RABBITS: ♪ Bunny tails are cotton

♪ How they got that way is long forgotten

Go get 'em!

Ouch!

[LAUGHS] This shouldteach him a lessonabout living wild.

"Little hoppy things."

[LAUGHING] Such primitive speech.

Kill!

RABBITS: ♪ We could stop and worry

♪ Why we need to hurry

♪ But we'd rather scurry in a furry flurry

Well, tonight the wild dog goes to bed hungry!

I'll find some food.

And just how do you plan to do that?

You expect me to find you a can of liver chunks

and open it with my beak?

NAPOLEON: No, here'smy dinner, right over here.

Where? No, that's not food for wild dogs.

Ouch!That's moss!

Well, it's pretty tasty.

It's unnatural. Dogs don't eat moss. Reindeer eat moss.

Call me Rudolph.I think it's good.

Ah! Unnatural.

[GRUNTING]

BIRDO:Lesson number two.

You must knowhow to tellwhether an animal

is friendly or dangerous.

And that, for example,is dangerous.

[SCREAMING] A house pet!

[SCOFFING] Oh, yeah, that was dangerous.

Why was she scared?

She thoughtyou were a house pet.

We learnedhow awful they are.

Hateful.Vicious.

Malicious.

Well, I'm not a house pet, I'm a wild dog.

What did a house pet ever do to you?

You see these scratches?They still sting.

[CRYING]

Those claws scrapedacross my hands.

I got bit on my back leg.

Who did this to you?

That crazy cat.

Oh, I know her. You're lucky you only got scratched.

You bet!

Not really, she bit off my ear.

BIRDO: Lessonnumber three, weather.

If you're gonna live outside,

you must endure severe,bitter weather conditions.

It's most... Ha!

Well, near-perfect landing.

Anyway, nature can be brutal, puppy.

I'll bet those little paws are killing you.

I do not have little paws.

And they're just fine.

Of course, it's so coldI can't really feel them.

Hmm. Having second thoughts about the wild life?

Absolutely not.

Did you know my grandfatherwas a Siberian husky?

[LAUGHING]

Well, I had a friendwho was a husky.

Did he teach you to watch out for ice?

Because it can be extremely...

[EXCLAIMING] Slippery!

[GASPING] That wasjust a demonstration.

It's hard to smell when everything's covered with snow,

but I do smell something.

Well, it certainly isn't me.

I wonder what it is.

Can we just get back to the weather?

Listen.

[DISTANT RUMBLING]

What is it?

Oh, yes.

I hope you're ready for blinding snow and freezing fog.

Freezing fog?

It's gonna be a big one.

[SCREAMING]Napoleon, run!

[HORSES NEIGH]

Napoleon!

Napoleon, are you all right?

Where are you?

Napoleon? Napoleon!

Oh, no. Oh, please let him be all right.

A storm?Blinding snowand freezing fog?

BIRDO: It soundedlike thunder.

NAPOLEON: Do you realize you almost got me killed?

I told you I smelled something.

Okay, I made a mistake,

I'm not perfect.I can't be right every time.

Every time? I'd settle for once!

Where do you thinkyou're going?Napoleon, come back here!

BIRDO: I am not following youthis time!

That's just fine with me.

Lesson number four. Go with your own instincts.

And lesson number five, don't trust Birdo!

Wait a minute, I'm picking up something.

What is it?

I smell candy.

I don't see any kids around.

No, it can't be.

I must be imagining it.

Hey, but it's coming from over there,

in the tall grass.

But how can that be?

But it's definitely the smell of candy,

and I'm gonna get me some.

Oh, no! He's not going into the sugar cane.

It's not my problem.

He's just gonnaget killed in there,

and I'm just gonna sit here and watch.

No! I can't do that!

Napoleon!

Where did that little puppy go?

NAPOLEON: You canhave your worms.I'm going for the candy.

You're in danger out here.

When the sugar cane gets dry...

Now, listen, I'm never wrong about these things.

He's never right, either.

Please.

Hmm, he has candy where his brains should be.

Well, let him fry.

I should be going back to my flock, anyway.

Oh...

How can sugar cane be dangerous?

He probably means I can get a few cavities.

Well, I'll take my chances.

Stop!

Whoa!

Look at my eyes.Go no further.

Your eyes.

Stay there.Do not move.

BIRDO: Napoleon!Birdo, help!

Not that way!No one listens to a snake.

Boy, it's getting hot.

[SNIFFING] Uh-oh.I smell smoke!

And where there's smoke,there's...

Napoleon!

Help!

Napoleon!

I hear you, Birdo!

NAPOLEON: I'm coming!

Napoleon!

You're headinginto the fire!Follow my voice!

I'm coming!

Head in the directionof my voice!

[SQUAWKS]

Birdo?

Napoleon!Am I glad to see you!

Sorry I yelledat you before.

I really thought I lost you back there.

I mean, you really, really scared the feathers off me!

CAT: [GROWLING] Finally!

Found the yellow mouse!

Now do you understandthat you're not readyfor the wild?

But, Birdo, I just showed you how tough I am.

NAPOLEON: I can handle anything.

I just don't want to see you get hurt.

[GROWLING]

I mean, if anything happened to you, I'd feel responsible.

[SCREECHING]

Napoleon! Run fast! Run fast!

Must destroy yellow mouse

and little flying mouse!

Follow me, Napoleon!

Follow me!

Hmm? Hey, is that my flock down there?

What do you know!

BIRD: Birdo!

[BIRDS SQUAWKING]

Look, it's all my brothers!

Boy, am I glad to see you!

Vittorio, Luchino,

Featherico, Roberto, Marty.

BIRD: Hey, Birdo,how you doing?

[SQUAWKING]

[ALL CHATTERING]

What's all that noise?

Sounds like Birdo found his flock.

Boy, what a noisy bunch of birds!

[CHATTERING CONTINUES]

I should let Birdo be with his flock.

I've caused him enough trouble.

Oh, no!

Hey, watch out!

The cat's behind you!

Get out of there! Run away!

[SQUAWKING]

Great! I finally find my flock, and you scare them away.

Scare them? I just saved them from that cat!

Napoleon, there is no cat around here. I am never wrong...

[SCREAMS]CAT: Shut up!

You have to learnto trust my instincts, Birdo.

Oh, mouse.

That yellow mouse will die slow!

[CHUCKLING] This kitten's really lost her mittens.

Birdo!

Birdo!

I'm over here.

NAPOLEON: Geez, I thoughtyou maybe flew into a rock,and you were dead!

Aw. You were worried about me?

NAPOLEON: Well, you are my best friend out here,

and I know how bad you are with landings.

I am greatwith landings.

Sure, this is how you land. Whoa! Whoa!

Please! Oh, please!

That is enough!That's enough!Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Stop it!Whoa! Whoa!

I am one ofthe greatest landersof all time.

Oh, yeah, right.

[LAUGHS]

Birdo!

BIRDO: Watch this!

I'll show you a landing!

This happens to be one of the more complicated landings

in the history of...

[SQUAWKS]

Did you hurt yourself?

Uh... Just caught a freak tailwind.

Where does this roadlead to?

To the shore where you landed.

Now, this roadcan be one of the mostdangerous places out here.

NAPOLEON: I know all about roads!

BIRDO: Lot of speederson this one,

and it's a lot easier to outrun a crazed cat than a speeding...

[HORN HONKING]Uh-oh!

Better get out of there!

[HORN HONKING]

[GASPS] That lizard's not moving!

Wake up!

Hey! I think he's sleeping.

I better help him.

You stay right where you are, puppy.

NAPOLEON: Hey, hey!

Get out of the road!

[HORN BLARING]

Oh, dear,reptilian road kill.

No. I think he's all right.

Let's just be on our way.

But he may need help.

Are you okay?

Is he breathing?

Hey. I'll give him a little push.

[YELLING] Go away!

Touchy!

This is my stripe!

Oh, please,he's just trying to help.

That's right.

Go away!

I'm sorryfor caring.

Aw, come on, now. Don't be hurt.

[GRUNTING]

BIRDO: Never expect gratitudefrom a cold-blooded creature!

[WILD DOGS HOWLING]

Don't listen!Forget them, Napoleon.

Go back home!

I can't, Birdo.

I've gone too far to give up now.

If I turn back,

I'll never know what it's really like to be wild.

And I've dreamt about that my whole life.

Oh, you wouldn'tunderstand.

Oh, and why not?

Because you're a birdand I'm a dog.

It's a dog thing.

There isn't a dog thing you do

that this bird didn't teach you.

I know how helpful you've been, Birdo,

and I'm really, really grateful,

but I'm a woofer and you're a tweeter.

BIRDO: I can't leave you on your own.

You'll never make it.

NAPOLEON:Of course, I will.

I've had the best teacherin the whole world.

I have to find my pack,and you belongwith your flock.

NAPOLEON: ♪ I have to travel

♪ You have to fly

♪ I have the meadows

♪ You have the sky

♪ Up wherethe clouds are

♪ I glide around

♪ I need to feel my feet on the ground

♪ Maybe our pathswill meet some day

♪ Maybe somewhere sometime

♪ But I havemy rainbows waiting

♪ And I have my hills to climb

Good-bye, Birdo.

BIRDO: ♪ Maybe our paths will meet some day

♪ Maybe somewhere sometime

♪ But I have my rainbows waiting

♪ And he has his hills to climb

♪ I have my hills

♪ To climb

All right, now,

where would there be water?

[ECHIDNA GROANING]

NAPOLEON: Maybe that thing knows.

[LAUGHING] Looks like a traveling cactus.

Hey, do you know where I can find some water?

Don't talk to me!

[CONTINUES GROANING]

NAPOLEON: I just wanted to... Ooh!

Buzz off! I'm notsharing my waterwith anyone.

I'd share my water with you.

And stop looking at me!

[SIGHING]Everyone makes funof the way I look!

Hey, I think you look sharp!

You see! Typical!

[GROANING]

[COUGHING] No.

I mean you look cool.

Anyone who makes fun of youis just jealous.

I mean it.

Wait! Come back.

[ECHIDNA CONTINUES GROANING]

Excuse me.

What you looking for?

[ECHIDNA GRUNTS]

I can't dig if you're watching me.

I'm a good digger.So what!

[GROANING]

It'll be easierif I help.

See? Here's your water.

ECHIDNA: Oh, thank you.

[SLURPING]

But now I can't drink it!

You're touching it with your dog lips!

[ECHIDNA GROANS]

Ouch! Ouch!

Ah! Hot sand! Hot!

Gotta find shade. Must be a tree somewhere.

[HOWLING]

[GRUNTING]

[SPLUTTERING]

[HOWLS]

That's what's been howling?

That's what I left home for?

[SPLUTTERING]

[CHOKING]

What is that thing?

[SPITTING]

Were the wild dogsI've been hearing...that?

[HOWLING]

Excuse me?That howling,is that you?

Or other wild dogs?

[CLEARING THROAT]

What do you mean, this?

[HOWLING]

[SCREAMING HOWL]

[LAUGHING]

What'd you think?

That was you?

Sound like a dog? I can do others.

Here's an elephant.

[SCREECHING]

[LAUGHING] You can smell them peanuts, huh?

Listen to this, a cat.

[MEOWING]

[LAUGHS]

Please, no cats.And, now...

Stop! Stop!

A cow.

[MOOING]

Here! A 2,000-pound cow!

Moo! Moo!

[MOOING ECHOES]

I am such an idiot.

All this timeI've been chasing aftera barking lizard.

There's no wild dogsanywhere.

I've been running after something

that doesn't even exist.

Now, I've got no home,

no wildlife.

I don't have my mother.

Birdo was right.

I don't have the instinctsto make it out here.

I'm a dumb house pet

that doesn't know a retrieverfrom a reptile.

[SOBBING]

I don't deserve the nameof Napoleon.

Not a crumb like me.

[SOBBING CONTINUES]

I'm just a Muffin after all.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[SQUEAKING] Storm!Inside!

Hurry!Now!

Hey, a dog? Dead?

RAT 1: Yeah, he's dead.

RAT 2:No, he's not,

but he will beif he doesn't get outof the rain!

Nobody ever died from the rain.

You've never been ina desert rainstorm.

Very dangerous.

I'd invite youto my place,

but it would bea little tight.

Hey, move over!

Stop pushing!Make room!

Stop pushing!

I smell a dog!

I hope your father doesn't bring it home!

[WIND BLOWING]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Where can I go?

Somewhere there mustbe a place big enoughfor me to fit.

Cold, drafty, and damp.

Uh-oh, my jungle instinctstell me

that there'sdangerous animals in here!

Is it Mother?

Is that you, Mom?

Hello?

No. It's a stranger. Get out or we'll attack!

You're... You're puppies!

Just turn around slow and leave,

and no one will get hurt.

I don't thinkhe's listening.

Okay, buster!On three I pounce!

One, two...

You're in for it!Three!

[GROWLING] Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

I'll get him. Whoa!

You better... Oh!

You better watch out, or I'll tear you apart!

Ah! Oh! Oh!

Nancy! Watch out, he's coming at you!

Listen, listen.I won't hurt you.

You're lost puppies,you know, like me.

Mother said not to let anybody in the cave!

Your mother's gone!Well, that's great!

Don't you wanna playand you know,stay up late?

I think he's okay, Sid.

Come on, huh?I promise nothing badwill happen to you

while I'm watchingover you.

Come on.

Nothing bad, huh?

So that's a good kind of flood?

Huh? Flood?

Nancy!

Help! Sid!

Help me!

I can't hold on!

NAPOLEON: Nancy, can youhear me? Hang on to the rock!

NANCY: Help!I can't hold on!

NAPOLEON: Keep talking! I'll come and get you!

I'm safe.Are you okay?

Yeah. But where's Nancy?

Help!

I can't...

[COUGHING]

[GASPING]

Nope, I don't hear her.

Help, Sid!

[SCREAMING] Help me!

Hang on, Nancy!

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]I'm going to save her.

No, no! I'll go.

Where are you, Nancy?I'm over here!

Which way?Just keep yelling.

I'll follow your voice.

NANCY: Hurry!

NAPOLEON: I hear you.Hurry!

Don't let go, Nancy!

I'm over here!

But this rockis slippery!

Keep talking, Nancy! I hear you!

I hear you, too!

Oh! Uh!

Hurry!Please hurry!

The water's getting higher!

You're going to be fine, Nancy.Help!

Climb on my back. I'll get you outta here.

I don't want to!

I'm scared!

You're safe with me.

You said... You saidnothing would happen

while you were watching us!

Nancy, climb on my back...

[PANTING]

Now!

Okay. Whoa!

Nancy!

Get away!I'm fine here.

You'll be underwater in a minute.

Get on my back.

[SOBBING] I'll fall in!

I won't let you drown, I promise.

Come on, pretend I'm a boat.

All aboard!

One, two...

Three!

Okay, here we go.

Sailing up the river!

Don't let go!

I'm just like a sea captain.

You know that, Nancy?

Hang on, Nancy!

A brave sea captain!

Don't let go of him, Nancy!

I'm slipping!

Hold on to your boat!Almost at your dock!

My dock?Sure.

Every boat has a dock. This one's yours.

She's slipping!

Okay. Let go of me, Nancy,

and grab onto the dock.

It's slippery!

You can do it! Your front legs are for pulling.

Your back legs are for pushing! Now, push!

Push!

She did it!

Do this, Nancy.

Get rid of all the water.

Like this?

Nancy! Look who's back!

It's a wild dog.

Of course it is! It's our mother.

I can't believe it.

I've been withthe wild dogs all along.

Sid? Nancy?

Are you all right?

MOTHER: Who's this?

Gosh! How long was I out?

NANCY: Whole night.

I never got to thank youfor saving me.

MOTHER: I'm the onewho should be grateful.

How can Ithank you for savingmy little darlings?

I wanna stay with you, be a wild dog.

But what about your home?

I belong here.

NANCY: Oh, can't he staywith us?SID: Please, mom?

Please, mom.Please, please.

MOTHER: Of course, he can.

I'm a wild dog. At last!

I knew this was where I belonged!

This can behis new home

until he sortsthings out.

SID: Yay! Hooray!NANCY: We can play new games!

SID: And do new tricks!

[PUPS LAUGHING]NANCY: Yay!

I wanna be Napoleon!It's my turn.

You were Napoleon last time.

SID: Was not.NANCY: Was too.

I think they'revery fond of you.

[WHINES]

[CHUCKLES]

We've been in here a long time.

When do we get to howl and hunt and stuff?

Wake up, Napoleon.

Today's the day.

And it'll be just the two of us.

I'm right behind you!

Isn't he justthe coolest?

He's okay.

Tell me, child,

why did you leave home?

I wanted to go where there were no rules.

And what did you find?

Well, I found a lot of rules

about living with other animals and being on your own.

And what did you want to do out here?

I wanted to hunt my foodand kill it!

And did you enjoy that?

No. I ate moss instead.

Hmm. Anythingelse you wanted?

Well, I wanted to stay up late and have fun all the time.

And did you have funall the time?

No. Sometimes it was scary,

and lots of times I was lonely.

Then why do youwant to be out here?

I wanna be a wild dog

so I can be really brave and fearless.

But you've been thatall along.

You couldn'thave come this far

without being fearless.

And it was your bravery

that saved Sid and Nancy.

In your heart,

you've been a wild dogall along, Napoleon.

I guess I have.

Is there something moreyou want?

Well, yes.

Tell me.

I want...

I want to go home.

I miss my mom.

What if I told you

I had a friendwho could take you back?

Really?

Come along.

There's gotta be a way to get back.

There it is!

My home!

How can I get across the water?

Yes!

There's the answer!

Look at that! Amazing!

It's still there!

I'll just go back the way I came.

Hello?

Hello?

Excuse me,but this is my basket.I came over in it.

It's my basket! My basket!

It is not!

Now, go on out!Hey! What?

Quit your shoving! Hey! Quit your shoving!

I'm sorry.

You're a long wayfrom home, aren't you?

My family came on vacation,

but I want to streak through the water like a shark!

Stalk my prey like a tiger!

I am Conan!

Killer penguin!

I am young! I'm alive!

I want more from life than tundra.

I'm not ever gonna go back!

Sounds like you haven't learned where your home is.

CONAN: My home iswherever there'sexcitement and adventure!

[LAUGHING] Tough talk for a puny penguin.

Hey! Watch who you call puny!

Look... I was a lot like you.

I thought I had to run away so I could be a wild beast.

CONAN: Is this gonna bea long story?

NAPOLEON: Hey, just listen, okay?

It all started at a party in my home...

I learned my lesson,and you will, too.

Now, I'm gonnaget into this thing

and... And waitfor the tide to come in.

Go ahead. I don't need the basket.

Conan is never leaving!

[PENGUINS CHATTERING]What's that?

What? Oh, no!

Oh, no! It's my mother!

I'm telling you, he came down here!

Quick, you gotta hide me!

MOTHER: Pengi!

Maybe I can hidebehind these rocks.

MOTHER: Pengi!

Oh, no, too late!

Pengi, come home with us.

I don't need this aggravation!

FATHER: What are you, nuts?

You trying to give us alla heart attack, Pengi?

My name's not Pengi,it's Conan,and I'm not leaving!

[LAUGHING] Pengi.

Everyone,just leave me alone!

FATHER: This is the worst vacation we've ever taken.

MOTHER: It is not the worst vacation.

What about Alaska? Remember Alaska?

The otter gave you a cough? What about Alaska?

[LAUGHING]Hey, Pengi, wait up!

No one understands.

MOTHER: Some vacation.Every night was formal night.

A dog! Just what I need, a dog!

PENGUINS: [YELLING] A dog! A dog!

FATHER: What is this, a dog?

FATHER: Get away from me, you ball of fluff!

You flea hotel!

MOTHER: Would you calm down?Your blood pressure.

Would you calm down?Calm down! Calm down!

Look, guys, if you can't convince Pengi to go home,

then I will.

MOTHER:He won't listen!

It's like talkingto an iceberg!

NAPOLEON: Pengi, you're staying with me tonight!

FATHER: Don't you have a cousin named Iceberg?

MOTHER: It's Weissberg!Weissberg! Weissberg!Forget it.

NAPOLEON: Still think this is where you belong, huh?

PENGI: You betcha.

Anyone gets in my way,I'm gonna give 'emsome of this!

[COUGHS]

Make 'em beg for mercy!Hey! I like a good brawl.

Trust me, you're better off at home.

Go back to where you belong.

Back to icebergs and permafrost?

Forget about it!

This is my time to howl.

[HOWLING]

You're worn out and tired.

You had your fling in the wild.

But I'm gonna live! I'm gonna find my adventure!

Woof! Woof!

Woof! Woof!

[CAT GROWLING]

That sound. Could it be?

Hello?Somebody else up here?

She's back.

Pengi!

Anyone for thrills?

Quiet, dummy!

I may come from the cold, but I'm hot for action.

Gotta save that dumb bird.

Time to rid my house of the mouse.

All right, come on.Let's go hunt down a few.

CAT: But I've found one, an unusual black and white mouse.

Leave the penguin alone!

Well, if it isn't Muffin mouse.

[HISSING]

Die!

[HISSING]

There is such a thing as too much adventure.

Just you and me now,whacko!

Seems unfair, nine lives against one!

Gotta get her near the water.

[GROWLING]

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

Come on!

Bull's eye!

[HISSES]Huh?

You'll pay for that!

Okay. It's pay day.

Come on! Come after me!

[GROWLING]

Running out of lives?

I still have plenty more!

Come, let me slash you.

Slash you with my...

[SCREAMING]

[ROCKS TUMBLING]

I knew that cat was over the edge.

Look at that.

Guess she used up the lives she had left.

What about that penguin?

Hey, Pengi,you down there?

[HISSES]

What? Huh?

[SCREAMING]

[LAUGHING]

Oh!

That's it. No more games!

NAPOLEON: Games?

Look down, rodent.

What?

There's your cold, blue death.

No, thanksjust the same.

I'm not in the moodfor a moonlight swim.

Jump, mousie!

Look, you left your homeand gone mad.

[HISSES]

I'm a pet dog.I made the same mistake.

[HISSES]

Living in the wildhas made yousee mice everywhere.

[HISSES]But you wanna be homecatching real mice.

CAT: But I am at home.

You are insane.

And I don't want you in my house!

PENGI: Yo, fraidy cat! You wanna fight me?

What?

I'll peck your eyes out. I'll flap your face in!

You're next!

All right. Tomorrow night, right here.

PENGI: I'll kick your tail!

It's over for you, pussy cat!

I'll fix you!

CAT: But first, I...

[SCREECHING]

[LAUGHS]

CAT: Oh! No, no!

PENGI: So long, sucker!

I'll be waiting for youhere tomorrow night!

[LAUGHING]

[WILD DOGS HOWL]

I really am a wild dog,when I need to be.

[CAT MEOWS]

Great job we did on that cat, huh?

What are you gonna do now without your basket?

Hey, I'm talking to you!

I don't know, okay?

I'll just have to find a way to get back to my home.

Get back to my mother.

I miss her.

Hey! What's that?Over there!

I don't see anything.

I'm telling you,down there!

BIRDO: For heaven's sake,must you bounce like that?

I have a delicate gullet!Napoleon!

It's Birdo!

Whoa! I thought you might be here.

NAPOLEON: I'm trying to find my way home!

Finally cameto your senses, eh?

TURTLE: Don't you ever clip your toenails?

BIRDO: [SCOFFS]A snappy turtle.

Looks likeI wasn't wrongabout everything.

No, you were right all along.

I don't know how to get back.

So long, Birdo! Don't forget to visit!

BIRDO: I'll fly over during migration.

See you around!

What was it? Napoleon?

You're the best birdin the world, Birdo!

And I'm never wrongabout these things!

Oh...

I'm gonna missthat puppy.

BIRDO: You wouldn't believewhat he's been through.

You know, when hefirst came out here,

he thoughthe was a wild beast.

Wild beast! You mean like me?You?

Mom!

Mom! Mom!

Oh, Muffin! Is that you?

NAPOLEON: Mom!Mommy! Mom!

Well, come here! Come here!

Let me put my paws around you.

Mom! It's me! I'm back! I'm back!

You won't believe where I've been!

Come here! You didn't get hurt, did you?

What happened to you?

Everything happened to me.

Oh! You can't get over that wall?

Are you kidding?

Piece of cake.

MOTHER: I want you to promise me

you'll never run away like that again!

I won't. And I want youto promise me something.

[CHUCKLING] Anything, darling.

Anything.

I want you to call meNapoleon.

From now on you're my Napoleon.

Ah. Not a mouse, a dog.
