00:30Dennis!
00:44Dennis!
00:47Dennis!
00:49Dennis!
00:54Dennis!
00:57Sit still, will you?
01:13I am sitting still.
01:15I'm talking to your colleague.
01:18I don't think it speaks English.
01:20That's all. You're finished.
01:23Where'd you get the cute puppy, Mr. Cavallini?
01:25It sure looks friendly.
01:28Friendly? That brood is vicious.
01:30That's why I rented him.
01:32We've been having lots of burglaries in the neighborhood.
01:36I'll bet he's just hungry.
01:38Here, fella. Want a nice sandwich?
01:41Forget it, Dennis.
01:42He's specially trained never to take food from strangers.
01:51He ate it.
01:52Sure. He knows I'm not a stranger.
01:54I only live three blocks from here.
01:58Besides, all dogs like peanut butter.
02:01Peanut butter?
02:02Yeah.
02:03And I put in some pickles and chocolate-covered marshmallows
02:06and tuna fish and a dash of chili for flavor.
02:11No wonder he looks sick.
02:12Hello, rent-a-watch dog.
02:24This is Cavallini's barber shop.
02:27You can come and get your attack dog.
02:29No, he's not attacking.
02:31He's having an attack.
02:33This really isn't necessary, Dennis.
02:38It's the least I could do after making that dog sick.
02:42Besides, Ruff is the best watchdog in the whole world.
02:46If you insist.
02:47But I doubt if any burglars will show up on Sunday.
03:01Okay, Dimbo.
03:03I'll hold a chisel.
03:04You swing the sledgehammer.
03:07All right, Johnny.
03:08I should have known better.
03:21As long as we're guarding the place,
03:23I may as well give you a shampoo.
03:29Don't complain.
03:30You're lucky it's not Mom doing it.
03:32She makes you wash behind the ears.
03:34Hmm, sounds like something's clogging the pipes.
03:45Just a little more.
03:47Come on, Dimbo.
03:50When will I ever learn?
03:54Okay, Dimbo.
03:55Help me get the door off.
03:57Come on, Giggs alone.
04:09That's enough.
04:11Let's blow this joint.
04:13But when is somebody safe to slave it?
04:16That's why we're going out to the barbershop next door.
04:20Gee, that sounds like giant termites.
04:22Wow!
04:23Those termites are even bigger than I thought.
04:27Hey, you guys aren't giant termites.
04:35No, we're, uh, wall inspectors.
04:38And this wall sure doesn't pass the test.
04:42Uh-huh.
04:51Hey, you're no wall inspectors.
04:54You're bank robbers.
04:57Sick of rock.
04:59Ah-ah!
05:00Oh, man, you're only foaming at the mouth.
05:06You bet he's mad.
05:07He hates crudges.
05:14Hey, honey, I can't see.
05:16Quit it!
05:17Hey, quit it!
05:19I can't see.
05:20You fellas don't mind if I borrow a quarter to call the police, do you?
05:36Be a guest.
05:38Sheesh.
05:39My shop!
05:46It's a total disaster.
05:48But at least we kept those crooks from stealing all your money.
05:51All my money?
05:56A dollar seventy-five.
05:59Dennis, how can I ever thank you?
06:02You could use us again next Sunday.
06:05Ruff loves being a watchdog.
06:07Don't you, Ruff?
06:11Oh.
06:12Dennis!
06:21Dennis!
06:22Dennis!
06:22Dennis!
06:23Dennis!
06:23Dennis! Dennis! Dennis! Dennis, where are you?
06:44Where is that boy?
06:46Let's go to Arizona with the Mitchells, you said.
06:49Let's see the Grand Canyon, you said.
06:52Don't worry about Dennis, you said.
06:55Stop complaining, George. We've had a very pleasant trip.
07:00How? We spent half of it looking for Dennis.
07:04Ow!
07:05Sorry, Mr. Wilson. I didn't mean to knock that thing down on you.
07:09Dennis didn't mean it, dear.
07:12Dennis never means it.
07:15Dennis Mitchell. You come down here this instant.
07:19Oh, Mom, the view's great up this way. Right, Ruff?
07:23Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
07:25Dennis, come down here!
07:27I knew they were gonna say that.
07:30One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
07:39Ladies and gentlemen, friends and guests.
07:42My name is General Armstrong, and I'm pleased to welcome you all to the Fort Darrow Military Reservation.
07:49And I'm also pleased to introduce you to the Army's latest super weapon,
07:54the finest machine of its type ever built, the Wildcat Bat Tank.
07:59The Wildcat's command computer is so advanced it doesn't even need a crew.
08:28Is that correct, Wildcat?
08:31That is correct.
08:32Ooh!
08:34As you may guess, the Wildcat has passed all its field tests with flying colors.
08:40Dad, what's flying colors?
08:43Shh! Not now, Dennis.
08:45That concludes today's demonstration. I hope you enjoy the rest of your tour.
08:51Let's go, Ruff. I just gotta see those flying colors.
08:56Hoo-hoo-hoo!
08:57What is that boy doing?
09:10I wonder where they keep the flying colors.
09:14Please repeat the question.
09:16Who said that?
09:17I did.
09:18Who's I?
09:20Who's you?
09:21Where's you?
09:22One question at a time, please.
09:24I'm still working on flying colors.
09:27You come out of that box, whoever you are.
09:30I am a computer of superior intelligence, and I happen to like it in this box. Thank you.
09:37Sorry. Didn't mean to insult you.
09:40Apology accepted.
09:42Now as to your first question.
09:44Where do they keep the flying colors?
09:47That does not compute.
09:49Next question.
09:50I thought you were supposed to be real smart.
09:53Next question.
09:55Well, where could I get a triple scoop chocolate butterscotch mocha cone with almond nuts on top?
10:01The nearest location for such a concoction is Jamie's Malt Shop, downtown Tucson.
10:07Do you wish to travel there?
10:09Sure. Let's go.
10:11Come out of there, Dennis.
10:14You hear me?
10:15You come out of there before...
10:19Before...
10:20Something...
10:21Terrible...
10:22Happens!
10:23No!
10:24No!
10:25No!
10:28George Wilson!
10:29You come back here this instant!
10:32There must be something wrong with a tank's computer.
10:34It won't respond to the control device.
10:36I can't stop it!
10:38Somebody stop this thing!
10:40Don't blame me!
10:41Gee, Mr. Wilson.
10:42What are you doing up here?
10:43I don't blame me!
10:44Don't blame me!
10:45Gee, Mr. Wilson.
10:46What are you doing up here?
10:47I don't blame me!
10:48You!
10:49You!
10:50General, you've gotta stop that tank.
10:51It's got our buoy.
10:52I can't stop it.
10:53It won't respond to my orders.
10:55Oh, dear.
10:56My poor George.
10:59Will somebody tell me where this crazy thing is taking us?
11:02We are headed southeast to a location known as Jamie's Malt Shop.
11:05For a triple scoop chocolate butterscotch mocha cone with almond nuts on top.
11:09Which happens to be in downtown Tucson.
11:10Our route is as illustrated.
11:11That way?
11:12There?
11:13You can't!
11:14No!
11:15No!
11:16Not that way!
11:17Why can't we go that way, Mr. Wilson?
11:18Because we'll end up at the bottom of the Grand Canyon!
11:48Dennis, could you ask your nice computer friend to turn us around and head for home?
12:04Sure, Mr. Wilson.
12:06Don't you want a triple scoop chocolate butterscotch mocha cone with almond nuts on top?
12:12I'll survive without it.
12:14Please talk to the computer, Dennis.
12:16Pretty please.
12:18Say, Mr. Computer, could you turn us around now?
12:21We want to go back.
12:23No.
12:23No!
12:25I have been ordered to travel to Jamie's malt shop, and that is where I'm going, and that's that.
12:31But!
12:32And don't try to talk me out of it.
12:36If that darn computer won't listen to us, we'll make it listen.
12:42All we've got to do is find the right connection.
12:45Like these?
12:53Sorry, Mr. Wilson.
12:55How about these?
12:56No!
12:57Don't touch those!
13:06You did it, Dennis!
13:07You saved us!
13:08You saved us!
13:21Try to get to the other side.
13:24Okay!
13:25I'll go back to the other side.
13:26Okay!
13:27Be careful!
13:28Or you'll knock us down!
13:31I've got to back her up.
13:33This ought to do it.
13:34Good work, Dennis.
13:35You.
13:36Don't you worry, Mr. Wilson.
13:37I'll get us home.
13:38Don't you worry, Mr. Wilson.
13:39I'll get us home.
13:43Don't you worry, Mr. Wilson.
13:44Don't you worry, Mr. Wilson.
13:45Don't you worry, Mr. Wilson.
13:46Don't you worry, Mr. Wilson.
13:50I'll get us home.
13:51I'll get us home.
14:21Hey!
14:22I can't believe it, Dennis.
14:27You stopped it.
14:29Had to stop, Mr. Wilson.
14:32We ran out of gas.

19:36A frog in my underwear.
19:40Henry, why don't you come to bed?
19:43What's the use? I'll never be able to sleep with all that croaking.
19:46Maybe some fresh air will help.
19:48Good idea.
19:53Ah. Hmm. Huh?
19:58Bad idea.
20:01Dad, you seem really...
20:07Take your pick.
20:09Never mind. I found him.
20:11How can you tell?
20:13That's how.
20:14Well, there's only one thing left to do.
20:16Wait, Dad, you mustn't...
20:17If he stays any longer, I'll be the one who croaks.
20:24To us.
20:26To my wife, whose face is like a silken rose.
20:31To my husband.
20:33An ugly, wart-covered toad.
20:36Now, just a darn minute.
20:38Not you.
20:40Him.
20:45Shoo.
20:46Go away.
20:48Don't mind us, folks.
20:49Just go on enjoying yourselves.
20:52Enjoying ourselves?
20:54Can you imagine asking us to leave in the middle of the night?
21:03I hope you're not mad at me, Dad.
21:05Mad?
21:06You did us a big favor.
21:08You certainly did.
21:10I'd rather remember Silver Lake Lodge the way it used to be.
21:13Filled with special honeymoon memories.
21:15It's got special memories for Willie, too.
21:19Because that's where he and Myrna spent their honeymoon.
21:21For me, my watch in the rest of the night.
21:49Good night.
