- Shh!
I found one.
No way.
Look at the size of that thing.
Sure is ugly.
It's a monster.
I can smell its evil breath from here. (sniffs.)
No, uh, that's me. I had socks for lunch.
Ugh!
How about you take this one.
Come on. We're a team, right?

Shake on it.
Ready, set...

Get him! Whoa!

[blows raspberry]
[Laughs]
We chasin' crickets, or are we just hangin' out?
I messed up again.
[Sighs] I can't do nothin' right.
Hey. Well, that's not true.
You're... You're...
You're housetrained, ain't ya?
Oh, Copper.
[Horn honking]
Race ya.
Wow, the trucks for the fair.
I've never seen so much stuff in my life.
[Tod] Oh, boy. I can't wait.
- You goin'? - I'm a-goin'.
[Copper] Chief says you can win a ribbon.
- Really? For what? - Just for being a good dog.
Whoa. That's a pretty good pumpkin.
- That one's even bigger. - [Snorting, grunting]
And noisier.
[Howling in tune]
Hey, Tod, you hear that?
Whoa! Oh! [grunts]
[Howling continues]
You OK?
Tripped over my own ears.
See, I told ya. [sighs]
I'm just a bad dog.
Ah, don't be like that.
- [Man] Copper. - Uh-oh.
Time for my huntin' lesson.
Hey, maybe I'll be good at huntin'.
Yeah. I'm gonna be the huntingest puppy ever.
Now you're talkin'.
[Chittering]
Let's see now. [sniffs]
[Man] Copper.
Copper.
Oh, where could that pup have gotten off to?
[Moans, sighs]
- [Snoring] - [Copper barking]
Hi, Chief. Ready for my lesson.
Oh, durn my hide.
Playin' nursemaid to a pup when I should be a-practicin' for the contest.
Oh, you don't need to practice.
You're the best huntin' dog in the whole county.
Well, I reckon it's true. I mean,
they don't give those fourth place prizes to just anybody.
Oh, there you are, Copper.
We'll make a huntin' dog out of you yet.
- Here, snuff this up. - [Sniffing]
Now, when this rabbit takes off, you follow his scent.
Then, when you have him,
let loose with a big ol' hound dog howl.
[Howl cracking]
I must be goin' deaf. I said howl.
[Yelping]
You're gonna lose your head one of these days, Amos Slade.
It's my head, woman.
Good boy. [chuckles]
OK, Chief.
Get goin'.
What are you waitin' for? Go get him.
Go, Copper.
[Sniffing]
Attaboy, Copper.
[Barking]
[Groans] Pup's as useful as a milk bucket under a bull.
Tod?
Oh, I'm gettin' all turned around.
I don't know what I'm doin'.
It's easy. You just sniff him out.
When you smell him, lift up your head and howl.
Like this?
[Sniffing, howling]
- No, not me. - [Howling]
[Growling, snarling]
- [Both] Uh-oh. - Gotta go.
[Panting]
[Chief] Oh, ding-dang it.
Ha! I've got you now.
Come back here, you little varmint.
Excuse me, comin' through.
Uh-oh.
- My milk. - Oh, no.
[Squawks]
Abigail, wait.
Amos Slade!
I've gotcha now!
- [Gasps] - [Buzzing]
[Muffled] Ow! Ow! Oh!
- [Muffled screaming] - [Cow mooing]
[All] Uh-oh.
Amos Slade, I told you to keep your beasts away from my Tod.
That mangy hound of yours just cost me a bucket of milk.
Your fox was after my chickens, Tweed.
What do I care about your milk?
Well, as long as you're wasting my milk,
you may as well have some pie to go along with it.
What the dickens are you...
[whimpering]
Bad dog, Copper.
- You are a very bad dog. - [Whimpering]
Well, you can just forget about the fair, Copper.
Oh, dagnabbit.
You couldn't find a rabbit at a petting zoo on Easter Sunday.
There. That ought to keep you out of trouble.
- Let's go, Chief. Fair's a-waitin'. - [Whimpering]
Aww. You'll get it one day, boy.
You just gotta grow up a little is all.
[Truck engine starting]
He got you over a barrel, huh?
Well, say somethin'.
[Sighs] There's nothin' to say.
That's just what I'm good for... Nothin'.
You're real good at gettin' into trouble.
'Course you're good at something, Copper.
We just gotta figure out what.
You know what you need? A little fun.
I wonder if there's a county fair around here.
Come to think of it, there is!
In case you haven't noticed, I'm a little tied up right now.
Nothin' a fox can't fix.
- Whoo-hoo! - [Laughing]
[Boy] Whee!
- What do you wanna do first? - Everything.
Mom, fireworks! Fireworks!
- [Gasps] Balloons! - Oh!
Ice cream!
Fireworks.
- Oh, yeah. - We gotta see 'em.
Smack at sundown.
[Both] Shake on it.
- [Dogs humming] - There's that sound again.
Sounds pretty good.
Sounds like somebody got their tail stuck in a door.
[Howling in tune]
♪ We're in harmony
Voice like a angel.
- With looks to match. - Oh, please.
♪ We're in harmo...
Aah! [grunts]
Oh, my poor... [sighs]
Darn this one horse, two-bit, three-timin' fair.
Dixie, it ain't like it smacked your singin'.
Can we get back to rehearsin'?
I refuse to work under these conditions.
Uh-oh. Here we go.
I'll tell you what, Dixie. You rehearse,
and afterwards I'll give that piece of wood a good ol' talkin' to.
- I got two bones on Dixie. - I'll cover that.
It just so happens I am a professional, and my standards...
Oh, now, Dixie, darlin',
you put on that same ol' record every day.
Ain't it about wore out by now?
Some nerve talkin' to me that way, Cash.
If your ear were any more tin, they'd can beans with it.
You listen to me, Miss fancy-tail.
In a couple of days we'll be in front of that talent scout
- from the Grand Ole Opry. - [Sighs]
I get possibly maimed for life,
and all you can talk about is the Grand Ole Opry?
- Oh, now, Dixie... - I'll be in my trailer.
Darlin', we got a show to do.
You can't just walk...
...away.
Sometimes I dislike that woman.
If they dislike each other any more, they'd have to get hitched.
Holy Pete, where are... Ooh!
Sorry, fellas.
Oh, I can tell right now, this is gonna be the worst show of all time.
It's gonna be the worst.
- OK, let's have fun out there. - [Faint applause]
- Who's gonna sing Dixie's part? - Just give me a second to...
- I do a good Dixie. - Waylon, somehow I don't picture...
- D's been lead as long as I remember. - I been practicin' my falsetto.
Sit!
OK, here's the good news.
Granny Rose, you are singin' Dixie's part.
Me?!
Oh, she's gonna love this one.
We have a real treat for you now.
Lyle Snodgrass and The Singin' Strays.

[howling]
Yeah.
- Oh, yeah. - Thank you. Thank you very much.
Hot dog, listen to 'em, Cash. They love that number.
Yeah, and if a cow had wheels, it'd be a milk truck.
That song is hokey.
They're clappin' for this little puppy.
Well, the kid's cute, all right.
Kid, I'll tell you what. You can sing!
- You got pipes of gold. - You sure do.
- Hey, kid, what's your name? - Copper.
Copper, thanks for gettin' us out of a tight spot.
It was fun.
You got a future in show business.
You come back and see us in a couple of years.
Yep, in a couple of years.
'Cause bein' in a band takes maturity.
What?
[Copper tears Singing Strays on the poster paper]
Hey Copper?
What's Up Copper.
I Can believe it, She is a dogs!
Fine,
Oh, This goes here! Look at that, It's perfect?
What just happened?
I'll tell you what happened. You're good at somethin'.
And I mean good.
Whoo-hoo!
- What do you think you're doin'? - Little audience participation.
That kid wowed them.
- Kid? What kid? - Bye, Mr. Cash.
- [Chuckles] That kid. - Little critter was heaven sent.
That sang my lead?
Oh, no, he didn't just sing it.
He sang it!
You don't mean to tell me that wet behind the ears puppy
- could ever take my place in the band? - I didn't say that.
Although, he does have that refreshin' bloom of youth about him.
- Just what exactly are you sayin'? - What do you think I'm sayin'?
- Better not be sayin' what I think. - You know what I'm sayin'.
You better know what you're sayin' isn't what I think.
- Why do you always have to... - 'Cause you never...
- What if I said... - I'd say...
You know, this is just like the time when you j...
[growls] You better not bring that up.
Well, I think we've both been perfectly clear.
Oh, perfectly.
- I quit! - Huh?
Cash, what are we gonna do?
- Gone with the wind. - She's gone.
Sit!
I'll take care of this.
I better. That talent scout'll be here any minute.
[Deep horn honk]
[Cow mooing]
Hi there.
Now, who are you?
Olivia Farmer, designated chaperone to Winchell P. Bickerstaff,
talent scout from the Grand Ole Opry.
- That's you. - Ahem. Chaperone, huh?
I'm working to get my community service merit badge.
Well, that's quite admirable, little lady.
Then, I'll have more than Sally Ann Marybob.
Thinks she's so great.
[Chuckles] Well, lead on, Miss Farmer.
I'm a-lookin' for some talent.
- [Cowbell clanging] - [Mooing]
Oh, Dixie, you ain't mad over a little joshin', are ya?
I was only teasin' ya. You know how I feel about ya.
Yeah, you have a lousy way of showin' it.
[Shuddering] I am tryin' to kiss and make up here.
Now, won't you please accept my apology?
Blow it out your ear.
All right, you diva dog, but I'm in charge of this band
and ain't no one's indispensable.
You're in charge? [chuckles]
Which one of us is in the driver's seat?
Now, listen you...
[nasal] Now, you got me riled.
[Calliope music playing]
- All right. - [Retching]
Yee-haw! Ride 'em cowboy, away. Whoo-hoo!
[Laughing] Yee-haw! All right.
- This is the most fun ever. - Second most fun ever.
Mr. Cash.
I saw how blissful you looked singin'.
That had to be the best time you ever had.
Oh, for sure.
Well, now, we can't let nothin' get in the way of that.
[Muffled] Oh, dang.
Like I was sayin'... [chuckles] How'd you like to join the band?
- Really? - Huh?
Yes sir, a genuine Singin' Stray. What do you say?
Yeah!
Copper, we were gonna have some more fun.
Well, Tod can be in the band too, right?
- Well, uh... - He's my best friend.
Can you sing, kid?
- Uh... - Course he can sing. Show him, Tod.
[Off-key] ♪ We're in har...
[people screaming]
Hoo hoo!
Here's the good news. You're gonna be part of the entourage.
- What's that? - That's French.
Means you hang out with our new star. Keep him happy.
He does that already.
And you know, fetch water, clean dog bowls, fun stuff like that.
- That's fun? - Does Granny have fleas?
Aw, come on, Tod. It's gonna be great.
Well, OK.
All right, then. Let's get movin'.
Wasn't he amazing, the way he ate fire, Mr. Bickerstaff?
Maybe you shouldn't have stood so close.
[Wheezing] Now you tell me.
- [Dixie] OK. - Hey, Dixie.
You've come crawlin' back.
Oh, by the way, you can't quit.
You're fired.
[Gasps] What?! You can't fire me. I already quit.
Cash, you get back...
[nasal] Now, you've got me riled.
- [Dixie grunts] - [Glass breaking]
Don't get your collar in a bunch, Dixie. Pitch a furball.
The nerve of that Cash. Where does he get off firin' me?
Oh, I thought you quit.
I'm that band's heart and soul.
It's plain as a pig on a sofa.
Bet Cash can talk a dog off a meat truck.
He talked me into gettin' sweet on him
and now he tosses me away like yesterday's cornbread.
Honey, I don't blame you for feeling hurt.
Hurt? What do you mean by that?
You think Cash could hurt me?
Mangy mutt.
- [Copper barking] - [Dogs laughing]
Oh, y'all howled real good today, fellers.
Oh, well.
There's more than one way to skin a cat.
- [Clearing throat] - No offense.
Soup's on!
Yeah, that's a good boy, right there.
All right, fellas. All right. Bon appétit.
You know, if I could just play the banjo better, y'all would be eatin' steaks.
Hey, I guess I'd better go practice.
Welcome to the band, kid. Let me do some introductions.
That there is Waylon and Floyd.
They're the, uh, brains of the outfit.
Oh, why I put up with this low-class crew of mutts is beyond me.
[Burping]
And that delicate flower is Granny Rose.
Textbook version of growin' old gracefully.
Oh, I got me an itch.
Yep, you'll never harmonize with a finer group of singin' strays than...
Uh, you are a stray, right boy?
Course he's a stray. You don't see a collar on him, do ya?
- True enough. - I don't see one.
- No collar, no home.
- [Cash chuckling]
Whew. Good. Only strays allowed in this dog's band.
Tod, I'm not a stray.
Shh! It'll be our secret.
Amos: (chuckles.) Chief, just wait till Copper sees this.
Another fourth place ribbon.
Next year, we're goin' for the three-peat.
- Oh. Oh, my...
- What the?
- Widow Tweed?
- Huh?
Do you make a career out of gettin' in my way?
Step aside, woman, I got a prize winner comin' through.
- Well, so do I. - What?
This here's a huntin' dog. What could you do with a pie?
Uh... I, uh...
Woman's got spunk. I'll give her that.
(Whimpers, growls.)
(Chirping.)
- [Laughing] - OK, fellers, ten minutes to curtain.
Let's round 'em up and move 'em out.
- [Floyd] Move 'em round. - [Waylon] I'm movin'.
- That means you, Copper. - Huh?
[Chuckling]
- Good luck, Copper. - Thanks, entourage.
Say, Tod, while we're on, why don't you spiff up those bowls a bit?
The bowls?
OK, Cash.
Don't forget. Fireworks, smack at sundown.
It's a promise.
Psst! Little darlin'.
Come on in. Dixie wants to talk to ya.
But I'm supposed to sing now.
Oh, I know. I just wanna pass along my secret of success.
Really? Thanks, Miss Dixie.
Before every show, take a big ol' helpin' of that.
[Sniffing] Peanut butter?
All right. Let's get to growlin' and howlin'.
Now... Granny Rose, go fetch Copper, will you?
Hang on. Ooh, ahh. Oh, that's good.
♪ Me, me, me, me, me
♪ Woof, woof, woof, woof
Uh-oh. Bad news in a rhinestone collar.
Cash, you look nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockin' chairs.
'Cause I'm busy as a farmer with one hoe and two rattlesnakes.
Oh, yeah? Well I'm as... as...
- Oh, I got nothin'. - What is it, Dixie?
I just thought you could use a lead singer.
[Copper smacking lips]
[Tod] Peanut butter?
But Copper, you have to sing.
[Laughing]
[Grunting]
Hold on, Copper. I'll be right back.
- [Triangle clanging] - [Cow bellows]
[Man] The winner of the milkin' contest is...
...the widow Tweed and her fine cow, Abigail.
[Gasps] What?
[Grunting]
[Muffled grunting]
[Tod] Copper, come on out.
Perfect, just like that.
[Abigail mooing]
All right.
[Mooing]
- You know darn well Copper is our... - Copper? You mean that little pup?
Why, he ran off with that fox friend of his
like a bank robber on roller skates.
You're kiddin'.
Hey, if I'm lyin', may my fur lose its natural luster.
That did it. I can sing.
Great. Now when you get out there, don't forget to...
OK, see you at the fireworks, right?
Get used to it, entourage.
This is how it's gonna be from now on.
What do you mean?
While he's off havin' fun and gettin' the glory,
he'll stick you back here with the chores.
No, Copper isn't like that.
[Chuckles] Yeah.
Well, we'll see, won't we?
Here I am... Whoa!
[Scoffs] Ran off, huh?
Sorry, Dix.
[Sniffing] Peanut butter? Oh, Dixie.
You are through.
Well, gettin' rid of me ain't gonna be so easy, Cash.
Aaah!
[Yowling]
That looked easy.
Remind me to give that piece of wood a bonus.
Look, Miss Farmer. This ain't the kind of talent I'm a-lookin' for.
Yeah, you're right. That flea circus was totally amateur hour.
Waylon, give me a back beat.
We are headed for the big time.
And I got a big time song to take us there.
Follow my lead, kid.

- [Cash laughing] - I've never been so high up in my life.
I think I was higher than the fireworks.
Yeah, and how about those free hot dogs?
You looked happier than a hog at Sunday pot luck. [chuckles]
All right. Meet you backstage, kid.
- We got a lot of work to do. - You got it, Cash.
- Oh, sorry, Tod. - Hey, Copper.
- How was the Ferris wheel? - [Gasps] The fireworks.
Oh, gosh. I forgot.
Cash and I were busier than two mice in a cheese shop.
- Too busy for your best friend? - It's not like that, Tod.
Cash said I had to let everyone see me.
Cash said it's good for the band. Cash said...
Cash said! Cash said! Who cares about Cash?
Tod, what's wrong?
Are you jealous?
- Course not, you dumb dog. - Then what's eatin' you?
I don't know. It's like you're not around anymore.
Well, I'm around now. Let's do somethin'.
I mean, if you wanna.
Now?
Shake on it?
- Shake on it. - Kid, I swear,
you're slow as an iron toad.
Come on. You're holdin' us up. Let's go.
Waylon, would you get up. We got more ground...
- [Waylon] Oh, Cash. - Let's get to work now.
[Sighs] I guess I gotta go.
But... But Copper...
I'll see you later, OK.
Yeah? Well maybe you will, and maybe you won't.
[Crunching]
Why eat 'em, Dix?
Might as well just slap 'em right on your hips.
Come on, Zelda. I need a drink.
Give me one, straight.
Give me that.
Oh, darlin', you look like somethin' the cat dragged in.
- [Clears throat] - Oh, no offense.
- What do you care? - Oh, come on, Tod.
We're both in the same ol' briar patch now.
Cast off by the one we care about the most.
Guess you know how that feels now.
- Copper's forgotten all about me. - Yeah, I heard that.
- Hurts worse than anything. - Yeah.
I remember this one tomcat named Leroy.
I'm talkin' to the fox.
[Playing blues guitar]
You see, Tod, relationships and show business, they just don't mix.
Oh, it starts out nice and friendly.
Then they get that first taste of fame and it's, "Look out for number one."

Come again.
I got Cash to think he was a stray.
Copper's no stray. He lives just down the road a piece.
Little darlin', all our troubles are over.
How'd you like to get your best friend back?
- But how? - [Chuckles]
Just listen close to ol' Dixie here.

[howling off-key]
Whoa, no. That last note was flatter than a duck's footprint.
Take it from the top, please.
Oh, but Cash, we've been at it all night.
And we'll be at it all day if that's what it takes.
- [Gulps] - This ain't just another show.
The scout from the Grand Ole Opry is gonna be watchin'.
- Take it from the top. - [Copper barking]
[Laughing]
- Copper, just what are you doin'? - Well, it's a cricket.
- Me and Tod used to... - What is the matter with you, kid?
- Don't you wanna be a star? - Well, sure.
- Well, then, why don't you act... - Cash, he's just a pup.
Copper's just havin' a little fun.
You do remember fun, don't you?
[Sighing] OK, all right.
Just take five, everyone.
Sweetie pie, don't take it to heart.
Cash's bark is worse than his bite.
And if he growls at us again, I'm gonna muzzle him myself.
Tod?
You in there?
[Sighing]
Cash, have you seen Tod?
Nope. Dixie ain't around, neither.
You were looking for her?
No.
Well...
I remember when I first met her.
I was just a little ol' stray like you, all paws and ears and...
Felt like a real good-for-nothin'.
- You? - Yeah.
And then one night, we went a-howlin' at the moon
and I found out we could sing.
And I said, "Dixie, this is our ticket to success.
We are gonna be stars."
[Chuckles]
I guess I'd be stretchin' if I said I didn't want her around sometimes.
But we're a couple of hound dudes now, remember?
We can't let old friends get in the way of that, right?
I guess not.
Oh, come on. You're havin' fun, ain't you?
- Ha! Are you kiddin'? - [Chuckling]
Well, you just wait till we're on top.
We are so close I can smell it.
The Grand Ole Opry.
All we gotta do is ace that audition.
- Right? - [Chuckles] Right.
[Chirping]
- Come on, let's go rehearse some more. - Attaboy.
[Whimpers]
Copper.
Copper!
Oh, where could that pup have gotten off to?
Copper!
[Shrubs rustling]
Tod? Oh, Tod?
Widow, what are you doin' up this time of night?
Oh, I can't find my Tod anywhere.
That pup of yours probably chased him off.
I wouldn't know. I can't find him.
Oh...
Well...
If I see a sign of your puppy, I'll give you a holler.
I'm obliged.
If I see hide or hair of that fox of yours...
Well...
Thank you, Amos.
Tod.
- Oh, Tod. - Copper.
Tod.
- [Birds singing] - [Rooster crowing]
[Dixie] Oh, my...
Oh, my hair.
[Dixie] Broke a nail.
[Leaves rustling]
That's where Copper lives.
Nice spread. Could use a woman's touch.
You sure this is a good idea?
It's the only way.
When Clem Clodkicker over there gets to the fair and sees Copper,
he'll bring him home for sure. You two get to be friends again.
And I'll reclaim my rightful place in the spotlight.
Hmm, we just gotta figure out how to get them to follow us.
That's the easy part.
See, ol' Chief there hates me.
But he couldn't catch a cold in winter.
And wherever Chief goes, Slade follows.
Let's see your stuff there, cowboy.
- [Snoring] - Psst! Chief.
Chief.
[Sighing, snoring]
That tickles. [giggles]
[Quaking snoring]
Snuggly-wuggly little pookie-poo, yeah.
Yeow!
- [Blowing raspberry] - [Muffled barking]
Chief, what the devil is...
[gasps]
Tod.
[Groans] It's that darn critter of yours.
[Tweed] My critter? It's your huntin'... Oh, my...
Oh, when I get my hands on you.
Hang on, Tod. I'm comin'.
[Chief] I've got you in my sights.
You can't get away from me.
I'm a fourth place winner two times over.
Why, you... You come back here.
Oh, Chief, come back.
- [Feedback squeals] - Testin'. Testin'.
Why, Cash, look at you.
You're nervous as a flea on dip day.
I haven't seen you like this in a long time.
You ain't never seen me like this, Granny.
I just hope that talent scout fella's in a good mood.
You know, that snake charmer could use a little more practice.
- Don't ya think? - [Muffled groaning]
- [Panting] - [Barking]
♪ Me, me, me, me
[Chief barking]
Oh, hey.
- [Bellowing] - [Mooing]
Get the lead out of them boots, Mr. Bickerstaff.
The talent show's just about to start.
I know. I'm excited too.
Whoa, whoa! Aah!
[Squeals]
- Whoa! - [Trumpeting]
- Mmm, blueberry. - [Oink]
- [Woman screams] - [Squealing]
[Panting] Aah!
Aaah!
Here we are, Mr. Bickerstaff. Just in time.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Singin' Strays.
Comin' through. Excuse me. Pardon me.
Tod?
- Copper? - Chief.
- Tod. - Copper.
That's my dog.
You ain't a stray?
Aaah!
What in tarnation?
Dixie, what have you done?
Where they goin'?
We can't let them leave. We got a show to do.
Wait.
[Panting]
That's it! I can't take any more.
I don't book no circuses!
[Elephant trumpeting]
[Screeching]
[Crying]
Why, thank you, little lady. [Blowing nose]
- You've been so kind. - Drive careful.
Bye, Mr. Bickerstaff. See you next year.
[Bickerstaff groaning]
What are we gonna do now, Cash?
You're gonna go home.
- But, the band... - Don't you get it?
You're fired.
You know what? You used to be a lot more fun to be around.
Oh, now, come on. Where you goin'?
Hey...
Oh, yeah? Fine.
We don't need you either. Right, boys?
Sorry, Cash.
It just ain't no fun anymore.
[Thunder rumbling]
[Floyd] Why does it always rain when things go wrong?
[Waylon] I don't know, Floyd.
Happy now?
Copper, I'm sorry.
- I just wanted to... - You ruined everything.
[Amos] Copper.
Attaboy.
Let's get out of here.
Oh, Tod. There, there, now.

Dixie?
What are you doin' here?
I just thought you should know that blowin' your cover was my idea.
Not Tod's.
I guess I just lost sight of what's really important.
And, darlin', I'm awful sorry.
He never wanted to hurt you.
He just wanted you to be his friend again.
Well...
That's what I came to say.
[Chirping]
Copper?
- Hi. - Hi.
We still friends?
I don't know. Aren't you all mad?
Well, I've been thinkin'.
I've been kind of a cabbage head.
If that ain't right, then grits ain't groceries.
Well, anyway.
I sure am sorry.
Yeah, I'm sorry too.
Hey, I just got a great idea. Hang on.
- I got somethin' for ya. - Thanks, but I didn't get you anything.
No, it belongs to the talent scout.
I figured you can use it to find him.
You know, if you still want that audition.
How?
You're a real huntin' dog, aren't ya?
- And this here hat is his address. - [Sniffing]
Yeah, that's it. Get a good whiff.
OK, you get the scout and I'll go get the band.
[Lyle] Lyle, you fool. There's your problem.
The do-hickey is comin' out of the watchamacallit
and leakin' all over the hoozanozzle.
[Tod] Cash. Cash.
- Dixie's in trouble. - What's happened?
- Trouble? - What's wrong?
- We gotta go. - Where?
Sit!

All right. That'll do her.

Huh?

That a way.

I mean it.
[Howling]
Copper, where's Dixie?
She'll be along.
Dixie: Cash.
Way to go, Copper.
Cash, are you all right?
No, are you all right?
- I'm fine.
- I'm fine.
