(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
Give my best to the night, Tom.
NARRATOR: No one knows what the night brings,
but one thing's for sure,
you have to be ready for anything.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
It was Spike and he had a big problem.
I got a big problem!
My bones are missing!
NARRATOR: Some cases are easier than others.
Not those bones, pot roast! The ones I buried!
I love them more than life itself!
NARRATOR: His breath reeked of anger and stale kibble.
When I catch who did it,
I'm going to punch his lights out!
If brains were cash, this dog would be flat broke.
NARRATOR: He probably just forgot where he buried those silly things.
I heard that!
NARRATOR: Tom and Jerry weren't scared of this mutt.
NARRATOR: They dealt with tougher characters
in kindergarten lunch lines.
Is that so?
NARRATOR: Yeah, that's so!
What are you going to do about that, Spike?
(BANGING)
NARRATOR: After he had had enough,
Tom and Jerry agreed to go to the meathead's apartment
and have a look around.
Meathead, huh?
(CRASHING)
NARRATOR: Spike lived in a downtown walk-up.
Ten storeys of heart pumping "how do you do".
But you don't get to where these intrepid sleuths have gone,
without a little muscle fortitude.
(PANTING)
(CLOCK TICKING)
(PANTING)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
(SCREAMS)
Stop with the noise, already!
I'm putting my kid to bed.
Meet me downstairs in five minutes.
(WHISTLING)
(CLOCK TICKING)
(PANTING)
Forgot to mention, keep the investigation under wraps, got it?
Don't want my boy getting scared.
Now scram before he sees ya!
I checked every bone I ever buried.
Every last one is gone!
(BEEPING)
Nah, that's a water pipe, bub.
NARRATOR: A great detective sees the little
things ordinary chumps miss.
What? You think it's something else?
Like a...underground bone transport system or something?
(RUMBLING)
NARRATOR: It was time to start asking questions.
With all these apartments, somebody saw something.
(KNOCKING)
I know you have the bones! Hand them over!
I don't have any bones, Mr. Dog, but I got a baseball bat.
This one time, Uncle Jerry and I went to a baseball game and we ate so many...
Yeah, I took 'em.
I'm working on my large bone collection.
Keep it up, wise guy!
You should really be looking for who stole your personality.
(THUMPING)
That's when we decided to go on a trip to the cheese factory.
There was blue cheese, red cheese, cream cheese
and of course yellow cheese, lots...
What do you know about the missing bones?
Nothing!
What does your boyfriend know about the missing bones?
I don't have a boyfriend.
Want a boyfriend?
My favorite cheese is the stringy kind,
because when you're not eating it you can play with it,
which is super fun, but kinda messy.
I can't do it, I tell ya.
He's more than I can handle.
(SOBBING)
NARRATOR: Resolute, our diligent detectives worked tirelessly
throughout the night to catch the elusive thief.
(SNORING)
(HORN BLARING)
Oh no, yous don't, not on my time!
Yous two better find out who's been stealing my bones
or you're going to be missing some bones of your own!
Now get to doing whatever you detectives do!
(BLOWING A RASPBERRY)
NARRATOR: That's when they saw him, prime suspect numero uno.
When you meet your mark
it's as if a bell goes off in your head.
It's undeniable.
Let's just say, when these keen detectives see a possible suspect,
they "gopher" it.
"Gopher" it, get it?
It's the gopher, smart ones!
Is that stinking gopher behind this? Let me at him.
(THUMPING)
(SIGHING)
(SNIFFS)
Ah!
(EXPLOSION)
All right, boys,
if we're going to nab this bandit,
we're going to have to use our brains, not our brawns.
NARRATOR: That's when Spike came up with a brilliant plan of his own.
You know, the one where you bury some bone decoys
around the lot to catch the dirty little thief in the act.
I've got it!
We'll bury some bone decoys around the lot
to catch the dirty little thief in the act.
NARRATOR: Brilliant.
(CHUCKLING) We got him now, boys.
He won't know what hit him.
(BOX CLOSES)
(PANTING)
What the... Pike!
Son, what are you doing?
NARRATOR: It appears the little guy didn't know
the bones belonged to his dad.
He just thought he was really good at finding them.
You did this, for me?
(WHIMPERING)
(LAUGHING)
I got allergies, that's all.
That's for ever thinking my little boy was a thief.
NARRATOR: The dynamic duo had solved another mystery
and satisfied another client.
The city a little safer, with one less thief on the streets.
