(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
NARRATOR: With the Cat and Mouse Detectives on the chase,
there was nowhere to go but down.
Who's going down now, wise guy?
(CLICKING)
(SCREAMING)
NARRATOR: Some days even a tough guy needs a little tender loving care.
(CRUNCHING)
(SCREAMING)
Ow!
NARRATOR: That's when he saw her.
Her name was Misty.
(PANTING)
(CRASHING)
(GIGGLING)
-(CRUNCHING) -(SCREAMS)
(GASPS)
(TAPPING)
NARRATOR: Tom wasn't about to let a broken leg,
two cracked ribs and a strained glutinous whatchamacallit,
get between him and this lovely feline.
(DOOR OPENING)
(GASPING)
(POUNDING)
(YOWLING)
(GASPS)
NARRATOR: This was a case for the Cat and Mouse Detectives.
There was no time to be smart.
(CRASHING)
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
Ahh-choo!
(TEETH CHATTERING)
Oh, please don't hurt me. I promise I won't say a word.
A cat and a mouse? No, never saw 'em.
See, not a word.
I don't know anything.
Okay, okay, okay! My name's Scarf and I live next door.
Um, well, Misty and I, yeah, we kinda have a thing going.
You know, we talk for hours on end, through the walls.
(BARKING)
Then today, someone came in and took her!
But, I don't know who, and I don't know where, and I don't know why.
But I really want to help find her.
Come on, you need me.
I'm a hound and hounds have very good noses,
that will make finding her that much easier.
Just tell me, which way did she go?
NARRATOR: If anyone knew which way she went,
it was Crooked Eddie, a stool pigeon.
So you want to find Misty, huh?
What's it worth to ya?
Sunflower, delightful.
All right, here's what I know.
I seen two humans, couldn't make out their faces.
-They had something in a sack. -(MISTY YOWLS)
Then they shoved the sack into an animal carrier,
placed the carrier in the back seat and drove off.
That must have been Misty! Which way did they go?
I don't care much for the fruit and nut mix.
Corn, yeah, that's nice.
They went thataway, to the country.
Oh, I've heard about the country.
They have farms there where animals go, but...
...they don't come back.
NARRATOR: Tom knew there was no time to waste.
If only he had rembered he was still on the roof.
(ROOSTER CROWING)
(SNIFFING)
Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm definitely getting the scent.
She's right over that hill.
(EAGLE SCREECHES)
Phew!
(CRASHES)
Hey, you want to hear something funny?
The scent wasn't coming from over the hill after all.
(LAUGHING)
I had it all wrong.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(LAUGHING)
-(SCARF HOWLING) -(TOM HISSING)
SCARF: Okay, it should be right around this corner...
Whoa! What do you know! I got us here!
NARRATOR: Scarf was right. He had gotten them there.
-But where exactly was "there"? -(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
Hey, maybe it's an animal prison
and they're being forced to make those ugly dog sweaters.
MAN: Faster!
You know, she's a cat, I'm a dog...
(EXCLAIMS) It probably wouldn't have worked anyway.
(TEETH CHATTERING)
(CREAKING)
(LAUGHING) Oh, that tickles.
(THUDDING)
(SCREAMING)
Okay, so what's the plan? We sneak in and grab her?
(BELCHING)
Misty, I'm here to rescue you.
-Who are you? -Scarf!
The dog, next door.
The one who barks a lot.
The detectives saw you get catnapped and I heard the whole thing.
But I wasn't catnapped.
My owners put me in that sack.
It's the only way they can get me here
'cause I hate cars so much.
They're on vacation and so are we!
(ALL CHEERING)
NARRATOR: So, the Cat and Mouse Detectives found their missing cat
but Tom couldn't help feeling disappointed by the outcome.
Hey!
Maybe we could see each other when I get back.
NARRATOR: Well, perhaps it wasn't a total loss.
