101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure (2002) - full transcript
Roger, Anita and their canine clan are packing for the big move to Dalmatian Plantation, a home in the country with plenty of room for the 101 pups and far from the clutches of Cruella DeVil. The feistiest pup, Patch, feels lost in a sea of spots and longs to be a one-of-a-kind wonderdog like his TV hero, Thunderbolt. While watching the Thunderbolt Adventure Hour, Patch hears about a chance to appear on the show while it's filming in London. However, the family move will interfere with Patch's opportunity - until he's accidentally left behind in the commotion. Patch heads for the audition to meet his hero. Meanwhile, Thunderbolt's "trusty" sidekick, Lightning, reveals that the producers of the show want to replace Thunderbolt with a younger dog. In order to save his job, Thunderbolt decides he will go into the real world and perform an act of true heroism to prove himself. A veritable reference book to Thunderbolt's many adventures, Patch provides the perfect guide for the TV star in his attempts at real-life heroics. As for Cruella DeVil - she's back and more obsessed with Dalmatians than ever. At first, she's able to calm her frenzy through an affiliation with a spot-fixated artist.

PONGO: It seems like
such a short time ago
that my pet and I
were just lazing about
in our little London flat,
living the humdrum
bachelor life
and wishing things
weren't so very, very dull.
That's my pet, Roger.
My name's Pongo.
You remember,
I'm the one with the spots.
(BARKING)
Oh, goodness!
(LAUGHING)
No, no, not that one.
Or that one.
(LAUGHS)
That's me,
living my new life
as a family man.
(LAUGHING)
Never a dull moment.
I guess I got my wish.
(ROGER WHISTLING)

Hey, seeing spots!
♪ Spots, I'm seeing spots,
everywhere I'm seeing lots
♪ Of those tiny little dots,
yes, it's true
♪ They're on the beds
and the cots,
in the pans and the pots
♪ And they've left
little spots in the loo! ♪
Roger, are you
packing or playing?
I'm playing
at packing, dear!
Well, quit fooling around.
We're moving
first thing
in the morning!
♪ We'll have
a Dalmatian plantation

In the rooms, in the halls
♪ On the floors

when I rise
and I open up my eyes

a Dalmatian plantation
♪ Spots, spots, spots
♪ And never again
shall we roam

(GIGGLES)
Oh, Roger!
PONGO: Yes, tomorrow
would be moving day.
Only one more night
in this little flat,
which was getting smaller
by the minute.
I mean, even I was beginning
to feel a bit smothered.
Really, it was easy
to see how one of our puppies
could feel,
well, just a little bit lost
in this sea of spots.
Ah, hello, Patch.
Hello, Mother.
(CHUCKLING)
Watching the television,
are we?
Yes. Well, I've got
to save my spot,
now, don't I?
It's the best spot,
after all!
But you know
your show doesn't start
until after...

We'll put them on

Thunderbolt tomorrow.
Yes, I know,
but tomorrow

You're going to love it
on the farm, Son.
There are big green fields
and a stream and a barn
and lots of
different animals.
Hey, maybe you and I
can chase
some chickens, huh?
Sure, Dad, but...
Here we go!
"Cherry Tree Farm,
Little Tichfield, Devon."
Why, I imagine
it's the most splendid farm
in the whole country.
Oh, Perdi, the farm
will be such a wonderful place
to raise our puppies.
And best of all, we'll be
miles away from
that evil, ugly monster...
Cruella De Vil!
Now, please let me in!
(GRUNTING)
I can't do that,
Miss de Vil.
But, Mr. Fitzweil,
please,

Tell me,
what do you see?
Everything.
Darkness and light,

And what else?
Chaos and order,
joy and pain.
And there is more

The possibility of triumph,
the certainty of defeat,
the culmination of
all I've ever reached for
but could not grasp!
(LAUGHING)
I see everything!
I see absolutely everything!
(GASPS)
I feel faint in the presence
of such artistic truth.
Where is the artist?
I simply must meet him!
But you already have.
I am Lars and I am
an undiscovered genius.
My name is Cruella De Vil,
and I'm
an over-financed heiress.
Your passion for my work
both repels and attracts.
(CHUCKLES)
Could you bear
the sweet agony
of seeing more?
(GASPS) You mean
there's more?
(GASPS)
Spots! Spots! Spots! Spots!
I had yet to find anyone
who truly understood
their bleak,

That is, until I met you.
This could be it!
This could be
the cure for my craving!
My analyst said
I should find
something to substitute

magnificent obsession.
(LAUGHS)
Who needs furs

my tortured soul with art?
Something tortures you?
Tell me, what cloud dares
cast a shadow on the flower?
Oh, it's a sad
but familiar tale of loss
and disappointment,
probation and
a restraining order.
But you, you can help
Cruella to forget all that.
Will you do a painting

I will create a masterpiece,

Don't be too harsh on them,
little buddy.
I know we don't have
the best writers
in television,
but we can
always improvise.
I'm pretty good
at improvising,
as long as
it's written down for me.
No, no,
you don't understand.
Something really horrible
is going to happen.
Don't tell me.
Let me guess.
The dam breaks?
No.
The mine collapses?
No.
Do I get an evil twin?
I've always
wanted an evil twin!
No! Listen, Thunder,
what happens is you...
You... You die.
(GASPS)
I don't believe it.
I die?
Oh, Lightning,
this is just about
the greatest thing ever!
(LAUGHS)
I've always wanted
to play a big death scene!
The selfless hero
who sacrifices himself
to save the innocent.
(LAUGHS)
I'll kick bigger
than Old Yeller!
So, how do I make
my shockingly unexpected
and triumphant return?
You don't.
What do you mean,
I don't?
You don't make
a shockingly unexpected
and triumphant return.
You die. You're dead.
You never come back.
Not even
for a reunion show?
Not even for a cameo
in the remake.
(GASPS)
They're writing me
out of the show?
They're gonna replace you
with a younger dog.
So that's what those auditions
were really all about!
Lightning,
you've gotta help me!
I can't end up on the street,
homeless,
foraging in trash cans.
Mange! I could get mange!
Well, I...
I did have this
one crazy thought.
Or ticks!
I hate ticks!
They suck
all the blood out of you.
Do you hear me?
They suck all the blood
out of you.
What if you went out
and did something heroic,
like you do on the show,
but in the real world?
You know, get your name
in the paper.
Prove to them
that you still got it!
Wait a minute.
What if I went out
and did something heroic
in the real world?
Or that could work, too.
After all, you are
the One-of-a-Kind
Wonder Dog.
How hard could it be?
Yeah, it'll be a catwalk.
Cakewalk.
Precisely!
I'll just go get
a little press for doing
some easy hero stuff
and they'll be begging
to keep me on the show!
But, first, I'll have to
figure out a way to
sneak past my adoring public.
Sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak.
Hide.
(LAUGHS)
Master of disguise.
(LOUDLY)
Hi, Thunderbolt!
I'm sorry, I'm...
You've got
the wrong dog, kid.
(LAUGHS) I know it's you.
That's the same disguise
you used in episode 18,
"Gambling Gophers
of Gunfire Gulch."
For howling out loud!
Now you've blown my cover.
This is champion!
I'm your biggest fan,
Thunderbolt!
I know every episode
by heart!
Remember the time
when you fought
that grizzly bear
and rescued those orphans
and then the dam broke?
And... And...
Hey, aren't you
the squeaky toy?
Yeah. That's me.
Listen, pup...
Patch.
Pooch, whatever.
You've gotta understand.
Sometimes danger and I
like to dance alone!
(CAT MEOWS)
Good gracious gravy,
look at that!
A cat is stuck up
in that tree!
He is?
Oh, my heart goes out
to the poor
helpless creature.
Now, if I were me,
what would I do?
Well, I'd read the script,
that's what I'd do.
(GASPS)
Oh, no, I don't
have a script!
(HYPERVENTILATING)
This is just like when
Tommy was trapped
on that cliff in episode 29.
Okay, okay, don't panic.
That one was a classic.
You can do this.
You can do this.
Only it's also
like episode 64.
You can't do this.
You can't do this.
When he was drowning
in the water tower.
Yeah, that was great.
Who am I kidding?
I have no idea
what I'm doing!
But episode 29
was still the best,
at least from
the first season.
Pooch!
Patch.
Whatever!
I'm trying to panic here!
Sorry.
I just thought you were
going to do what you did
on Raccoon Ridge.
You know, when
you got that barrel?
And rolled it
next to the cliff?
Then you found
a long plank of wood?
And got a great
big round boulder,
and then...
Precisely!
Whoa!
Hang on, little kitty!
Help is on the way!
(CHUCKLES)
The press is going to
love this.
(SNARLS)
(YELPS)
(SIGHS)
(SHRIEKS)
There you are, my good man.
No need to thank me.
The look on your face
is thanks enough!
Now, smile for the cameras!
Hey, that's strange.
Where are
all the photographers?
The press is always around
when I do something.
What's the matter
with you English people?
Are you all having tea?
How am I supposed to
get my job back
if you're all having tea?
That was champion, Thunder!
Just like on the telly!
You know,
this stuff isn't as easy
as it looks!
I mean, maybe if I could
remember what happened
in every episode
of the show, you know,
like Squeaky Toy, here,
well, then I could...
Hey, Squeaky Toy.
Oh, darling,
it's just divine!
It's remarkable.
It's stunning.
It's grand!
But it's all wrong.
But it's my best work
yet, cupcake.
But it simply
has to be better than
your best, darling.
I mean, look at these spots.
The shapes
aren't at all acceptable.
They're not soft enough.
(GIGGLES)
You know, cuddly,
like something you'd want to
squeeze the life out of!
No, this one
is no good at all,
an embarrassing mediocrity,
a complete failure.
Your harsh words strike me
like blows from the fists
of a large dockworker.
I would cry now
were it not so bourgeois.
There, there.
I know you'll get it right,
my depressive da Vinci.
You simply have to
keep trying.
After all, you're
the only one who truly
understands Cruella,
who can see
into her tortured soul.
Yes!
Her heart is like a vast,
dark ocean on whose waves
I am hopelessly adrift
in my dinghy of passion.
(CHUCKLES)
I shall not betray
your faith in me!
I shall create another canvas!
And another!
And another! And another!
Until I have found
spotted perfection!
I shall not stop until
the fires of your craving
have been quenched.
Junior deputy test?
Which episode was that in?
One of the lost episodes.
But I only give it to pups
who I think might be worthy.
And, who knows,
if you do real good,
maybe I'll even let you
be on the show with me!
Really?
Sure, kid.
I'm the star,
aren't I?
(LAUGHS)
Mother of pasteurized milk!
That stagecoach
is out of control!
This is your first
junior deputy test, kid.
Okay, well...
This is just like
in episode 37,
"Stagecoaches
of Serpent Summit."
Very good.
Now, episode 37,
was that the one where
I leap, run and pounce?
No, no. That was the one
where you run,
pounce and leap!
Precisely! Stand back!

Get a hold of yourself, man.
You're out of control!

We've looked.
And looked.
But there's just
no sign of
Thunderbolt anywhere!
This is a catastrophe!
A calamity! A cataclysm!

for The Thunderbolt...
(SNICKERS)
"A whole new direction!"
What do you think of that,
Thunderbolt, old pal?
Finally, I'll be able
to step out of your shadow,
you overrated,
overacting ham!
The Lil' Lightning
Adventure Hour.
It has a nice ring,
doesn't it?
What do you think?
(LAUGHING)
I have failed you,
my muse!
Oh, fickle bird
of inspiration,
to what far shore
have you flown?
Poor pathetic Lars,
do not despair.
I know exactly where to find
the inspiration we crave.
Well, this is art,
after all. Art!
Our creativity cannot be
thwarted by trivial matters
like restraining orders.
Yes, sacrifices must be made!
Gone? They're all gone?
How unspeakably rude
of Anita to move away
without even leaving
a forwarding address!
Lars, now what am I to do?
Why, you little...
What's this?
I know you.
Oh, this is delicious.
"Cherry Tree Farm,
Little Tichfield, Devon."
(BARKS)
(LAUGHS)
Oh, no.
Freckles, dear.
Stop helping.
(TEA KETTLE WHISTLING)
Oh, my, the tea!
(BARKING)
Yes, the paper!
No time to read this
if I'm going to
finish my new song.
Well, I come from
this really big family.
I knew a guy
came from a big litter,
10 or 12, I forget.
There's 101 of us.
101 Dalmatians?
Hey, I heard about you guys.
Yeah, you were
on the Twilight Bark.
Well, that's just it,
isn't it?
I'm afraid all I'll ever be
is one of 101.
(SIGHS)
At least that's what
my dad thinks.
Hey, Thunderbolt?
How do you become
a One-of-a-Kind Wonder Dog,
anyway?
Well, in my case,
it all hinged
on getting
just the right agent.
But, you know, kid,
getting there isn't so tough,
it's staying on top.
That's the real challenge.
You think you're doing great
and all of a sudden,
there's somebody trying
to take your place.
Crowd you out!
Push you aside!
Steal your spot!
Precisely!
Precisely!
You know,
you're all right, kid.
(GIGGLES)
I'll tell you what,
little buddy.
I'm planning on doing
some more
big hero stuff today.
You stick with me,
maybe you'll get
your picture in the paper,
show the world that
you're not just another dog.
(BARKS)
Oh, no, no, no.
Like this.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(INHALES)
(BARKS LOUDLY)
(ALL SQUAWKING)
Uh-oh.
(SQUAWKING)
(LAUGHS)
What? Patch in London?
Don't you worry.
I'll keep an eye
on things here.
This is all my fault.
If only I hadn't lost count.
Stop blaming
yourself, dear.
The important thing now
is that we find him
before Cruella De Vil does!
It's not fair,
Horace, me lad.
It's just not fair.
How come she gets off
with probation
and a restraining order...
While we's left
rotting away in here?
Off your bums, lads.
Sprung for your bail,
somebody has.
It must be Mum
come to spring us!
Mum never liked me.
Must be good old Dad!
Dad never
liked you, either.
Jasper, Horace.
It's time to finish the job.
Oh, no, not her.
We always get
the worst end of it
with her.
Well, if she wants us
to work for her this time,
we won't be made fools of.
You look just like Mum.
Shut up, you! I ain't going
through with this,
I tell you. I ain't!
Here he comes now!
(GRUNTS)
Go on, Jasper. Go on.
Go! Go on, go!
Afternoon, love!
Something I can...
(SCREAMING)
Hello, there.
Something I can do
for a pretty young lady
like yourself?
Of course you can,
you naughty man.
(CHUCKLES)
You can just
give me this truck!
(SCREAMS)
(WHOOPING)
They're all inside, Jasper!
Go ahead and start it up!

Hmm?

PUPPY 1: What's that?
PUPPY 2: Hey,
Kanine Krunchies!
(WHOOPING)
It worked, Jasper.
Like a dream,
Horace, me lad,
like a dream!
You! I should have known
it was you terrible men!
Now let those puppies
go right now
or I'm going to knock
the stupid
out of both of you!
Here now, lady,
we don't want to have to
hurt you none, so...
(SCREAMS)
(PANTING)
HORACE: Calm down.
She's...
She's mad, I say.
Come on!
(SQUEALS)
(EXCLAIMS)
(SCREAMS)
Right. That's it, then.
I've had just
about enough of this!
(WHIMPERING) Oh, no!
JASPER: There now.
That ought to
hold you right proper.
Jasper?
What?
Can we just go back
to jail, now?
Your muse has returned!
(GIGGLES)
But I am a failure.
You should despise me.
Stop being such a wet blanket
and come see
what I've brought for you!
A gift? For me?
How very Christmas morning
with the
twinkle lights of you.
The gift of inspiration!
Well, of course,
these are only
just about the most
adorable little puppies
I've ever seen
in my whole life!
Look at these
cute little darlings!
Fuzzy wuzzy
little puppy poo.
Poo poo, little puppy poo.
Did you see that?
Did you see that?
He gave me a little kissy!
I'm going to
kiss him back now.
He's having a wobbly.
And you mean for me
to do a painting
of them, don't you?
That's an absolutely
lovely idea!
It makes me smile a lot.
(CACKLES)
"Painting of them," he says.
(ALL LAUGHING)
No, no, no, darling.
I don't want you to
make art of the puppies.
I want you to make art
with the puppies.
Use their coats as canvases.
Create a masterpiece
in a new medium.
Together, you and I
will stun the art world with
our ruthless originality!
But that means...
(GASPS)
How could you do
such a thing to
the cute little puppies?
Poison them.
Drown them.
Bash them in the head!
I may be eccentric,
but I am not a sicko!
What?
And you'll not hurt one spot
on these innocent
little creatures' heads,
not as long as I have
anything to say about it!
(MUFFLED PROTESTS)
I thought you were
a man of vision,
someone who understood
my passions,
who understood
the complexity
that is Cruella!
Does no one get the point?
Lars, you're such
a disappointment.
Well, if I can't
have a masterpiece,
at least I'll finally have
a fabulous Dalmatian coat.
That's almost as good,
don't you agree?

Oh!

(DOGS BARKING EVERYWHERE)
I just can't
understand it.
We've been out here
doing hero stuff all day
and none of these
London photographers
seem to care.
Why do you want
photographers around?
Kid. Look, I got
something to tell you.
(DOG BARKING)
Something I guess
I should've told you
a long time ago.
I don't know
how to say this,
but the truth is...
Thunderbolt, listen!
There's an emergency!
Sounds like a kidnapping!
Being held in a warehouse,
a devil woman,
101 Dalmatians.
Hey, what a coincidence!
You come from
a family of 101, too!
Wait, what's the matter, kid?
That is my family.
Cruella must have
them again!
Cruella?
The devil woman!
She's the one
who kidnapped us before.
This is awful.
What am I going to do?
Wait a second. Thunderbolt!
You'll help us, won't you?
Yes. Well, kid,
that's what I wanted to
talk to you about.
You see,
I'm not really a...
Of course,
I'll help you, Patch.
Yeah, the world-famous
Thunderbolt
rescues the world-famous
101 Dalmatians.
(BARKING)
Sounds like
a good story to me!
Newsworthy, even.
Come on.
We'll let them know
I'm on my way.
The villains will soon
cringe in fear!
Mighty Thunderbolt is here!
(BARKS)
(BARK ECHOING)
POODLE GIRL:
It's just wonderful!
I heard it
through the Twilight Bark!
SWOONING DOG GIRL 2: Tell all!
POODLE GIRL: Well,
Thunderbolt is going
to save those
little Dalmatian puppies!
(GASPS)
The ones that were kidnapped?
That's right!
SWOONING DOG GIRL 2:
Isn't he just a dream?
More like a nightmare!
What if Blunderbolt
gets lucky and succeeds?
If the press got wind of that,
I'd never be rid of him!
Look, that must be
the warehouse.
Let's try over there.
Hey, do you think
you can reach that?
No problem.
Thunderbolt, old pal.
Lightning?
Lightning!
What are you doing here?
I came as soon as I heard.
Thought you might
need a bit of help.
Thanks for coming,
little buddy.
Wouldn't miss it.
JASPER: What's that
supposed to be?
Leave us alone, Jasper.
I think
it's kind of pretty.
So, what's
the plan, kid?
See those guards?
I think you can
sneak past them.
Remember the end
of episode 39,
"Flight from
the Forbidden Fort"?
The one where I ran,
jumped and sprang?
No, no. Sneaked,
evaded and triumphed.
Oh, yeah, of course.
I get it.
Hey, you're
a pretty smart kid.
That's a good plan, stealthy.
But we don't
need any of that!
This is Thunderbolt!
Villains always cringe in fear
whenever Thunderbolt is here!
So true.
What we need is
a full frontal assault!
How hard can it be?
That's right!
How hard can it be?
Follow me!
I'm right behind you, pal.
Sort of looks like you,
except you don't
have that much hair.
(BARKING)
It's Patch.
And he's brought
Thunderbolt!
He'll save us!
Here now, where'd
you come from?
Get out of here,
you stupid mutt!
Maybe they didn't
hear you.
Don't worry, kid.
This'll be take two.
(BARKING)
(BOTH EXCLAIMING)
That's more like it.
What have we here?
It's you.
(GIGGLES)
I owe you a debt
of gratitude, my photogenic
little friend!
If it wasn't for you,
I'd have never found
your brothers and sisters.
And now I have you all!
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
Thunder,
are you playing dead?
(GROANS)
That hurt.
That really hurt.
I knew
you were faking it.
(CHUCKLES)
He's been
faking it, all right!
Lightning, little buddy!
I am not your little buddy,
and you are no Wonder Dog.
This kid trusted you,
and look
where it's got him!
What does he mean?
He's been lying to you
all day, kid.
He doesn't care
about you or your family.
He was just trying to
get his name in the paper
and save his job. Ask him!
No! Well, yeah.
But... But...
But, but, but.
Hey, genius,
you're no hero.
You're a fraud.
And by the way,
there never was a plan
to recast you.
I just had to
get you out of the way.
(LAUGHS)
Now I gotta go
take your place
on the show.
My show.
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Thunder?
Thunder?
I don't understand.
You lied to me?
I put on an act.
I'm an actor.
It's what I do.
But you said
I could be
your junior deputy...
I made all that up!
I just needed someone
who knew the script.
But you said
that you'd help us.
Don't you get it, kid?
All that running around
and saving
the day stuff, it's...
It's make-believe!
It's not real.
You promised!
(CRYING)
Patch, I just...
(SIGHS)
You lied.
I'm sorry, all right?
(CRYING)
I'm not
a real Wonder Dog.
I just acted
like one once.
(PUPPY WHIMPERS)
I'm hungry.
I want to go home.
It's scary here.
Where's Mother?
(WHIMPERING)
Patch?
Are you okay?
Patch?
Dad was right.
I am just one of 101.
(SIGHS)
I'm sorry, Lucky.
This is all my fault.
Hey, didn't Thunderbolt
get out of a cage
like this once?
You know, in episode 13,
"The Flaming Flea Circus."
Episode 18.
Episode 18!
(PUPPIES BARKING)
Did you see
what Patch just did?
Wizard, Patch!
Absolutely wizard!
Hey, shut your yapping!
I'm trying to
get me beauty sleep.
(SNORING)
Okay, you guys,
stick together
and be quiet.
Don't look so put out.
My favorite furrier
will be open in the morning
and then we'll be
out of your hair.
Perfect! Episode 53,
"The Mineshaft Mix-up."
Everybody, stay here
until I tell you
it's safe to come out.
What is it with...
(SCREAMS)
You let the puppies get away!
You let the puppies get away!
JASPER: Hold on!
HORACE: They can't
have gone far.
Here, start searching!
When that crazy bird
finds out we lost them again,
she'll skin us!
Horace! Jasper!
What are you looking for?
Nothing, mum!
We haven't lost
the doggies or anything!
You let them escape?
Jasper fell asleep!
You were
snoring like a train!
(PATCH BARKING)
The lift is barking.
The mutts must
already be downstairs.
Funny how
we never heard
the lift.
Shut up, you!
Come on,
they'll be back soon!
Aren't we going down?
Nope. We're going up!
Ready, Rolly?
No, no. No, no, no,
no, no, no!
Whoa!
Can I do that again?
Okay, now the rest of you.
I'm just saying,
maybe the puppies
are still upstairs
and they just tricked us
into coming down here.
Come on now, Horace.
Dogs ain't that smart.
They haven't got the big,
educated brains we got.
97, away! 98, away!

but I can act like one!

Do not mourn me

what's your situation? Over.
No, no, fellas.
I'm not with them!
I was trying to help
Thunderbolt, honest!
That's what I do.
I'm a sidekick.
We're a team!
Come on, fellas! Come on!
Don't you watch TV?
Now, who's
the pathetic ham actor?
I am painting spots,
but she doesn't like them
so good and then she says,
"No, you must kill them,"
and I'm not so sturdy.
She's very mean to me!
And then I pass out.
There they are.
Those are the ones!
She made us do it!
She made us do it!
Spots? I do see spots,
you know.

They're everywhere!
CRUELLA: Spot! Spot!
Spot! Spot!

It's wonderful!
They're all here!
Come now. Stop it. Stop it.
We were so worried
about you.
Penny, Lucky,
my darling puppies!

Patch! You're safe.
We were so worried
about you.
We missed you
very much, Patch.
You did?
Of course, Son.
Mom, Dad,
this is Thunderbolt.
He saved us.
I don't know
how to thank you
for saving my family.
No, no. Don't thank me.
It was your son,
Patch, who...
Mom! Dad!
The devil woman got us.
And we were trapped
and then Patch got us out!
Yeah. And Patch made me
a trampoline!
You should have
seen Patch, Mother.
He was fantastic.
Just like Thunderbolt!

Don't be too harsh on them,
little buddy.
I know we don't have
the best writers
in television,
but we can
always improvise.
I'm pretty good
at improvising,
as long as
it's written down for me.
No, no,
you don't understand.
Something really horrible
is going to happen.
Don't tell me.
Let me guess.
The dam breaks?
No.
The mine collapses?
No.
Do I get an evil twin?
I've always
wanted an evil twin!
No! Listen, Thunder,
what happens is you...
You... You die.
(GASPS)
I don't believe it.
I die?
Oh, Lightning,
this is just about
the greatest thing ever!
(LAUGHS)
I've always wanted
to play a big death scene!
The selfless hero
who sacrifices himself
to save the innocent.
(LAUGHS)
I'll kick bigger
than Old Yeller!
So, how do I make
my shockingly unexpected
and triumphant return?
You don't.
What do you mean,
I don't?
You don't make
a shockingly unexpected
and triumphant return.
You die. You're dead.
You never come back.
Not even
for a reunion show?
Not even for a cameo
in the remake.
(GASPS)
They're writing me
out of the show?
They're gonna replace you
with a younger dog.
So that's what those auditions
were really all about!
Lightning,
you've gotta help me!
I can't end up on the street,
homeless,
foraging in trash cans.
Mange! I could get mange!
Well, I...
I did have this
one crazy thought.
Or ticks!
I hate ticks!
They suck
all the blood out of you.
Do you hear me?
They suck all the blood
out of you.
What if you went out
and did something heroic,
like you do on the show,
but in the real world?
You know, get your name
in the paper.
Prove to them
that you still got it!
Wait a minute.
What if I went out
and did something heroic
in the real world?
Or that could work, too.
After all, you are
the One-of-a-Kind
Wonder Dog.
How hard could it be?
Yeah, it'll be a catwalk.
Cakewalk.
Precisely!
I'll just go get
a little press for doing
some easy hero stuff
and they'll be begging
to keep me on the show!
But, first, I'll have to
figure out a way to
sneak past my adoring public.
Sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak.
Hide.
(LAUGHS)
Master of disguise.
(LOUDLY)
Hi, Thunderbolt!
I'm sorry, I'm...
You've got
the wrong dog, kid.
(LAUGHS) I know it's you.
That's the same disguise
you used in episode 18,
"Gambling Gophers
of Gunfire Gulch."
For howling out loud!
Now you've blown my cover.
This is champion!
I'm your biggest fan,
Thunderbolt!
I know every episode
by heart!
Remember the time
when you fought
that grizzly bear
and rescued those orphans
and then the dam broke?
And... And...
Hey, aren't you
the squeaky toy?
Yeah. That's me.
Listen, pup...
Patch.
Pooch, whatever.
You've gotta understand.
Sometimes danger and I
like to dance alone!
(CAT MEOWS)
Good gracious gravy,
look at that!
A cat is stuck up
in that tree!
He is?
Oh, my heart goes out
to the poor
helpless creature.
Now, if I were me,
what would I do?
Well, I'd read the script,
that's what I'd do.
(GASPS)
Oh, no, I don't
have a script!
(HYPERVENTILATING)
This is just like when
Tommy was trapped
on that cliff in episode 29.
Okay, okay, don't panic.
That one was a classic.
You can do this.
You can do this.
Only it's also
like episode 64.
You can't do this.
You can't do this.
When he was drowning
in the water tower.
Yeah, that was great.
Who am I kidding?
I have no idea
what I'm doing!
But episode 29
was still the best,
at least from
the first season.
Pooch!
Patch.
Whatever!
I'm trying to panic here!
Sorry.
I just thought you were
going to do what you did
on Raccoon Ridge.
You know, when
you got that barrel?
And rolled it
next to the cliff?
Then you found
a long plank of wood?
And got a great
big round boulder,
and then...
Precisely!
Whoa!
Hang on, little kitty!
Help is on the way!
(CHUCKLES)
The press is going to
love this.
(SNARLS)
(YELPS)
(SIGHS)
(SHRIEKS)
There you are, my good man.
No need to thank me.
The look on your face
is thanks enough!
Now, smile for the cameras!
Hey, that's strange.
Where are
all the photographers?
The press is always around
when I do something.
What's the matter
with you English people?
Are you all having tea?
How am I supposed to
get my job back
if you're all having tea?
That was champion, Thunder!
Just like on the telly!
You know,
this stuff isn't as easy
as it looks!
I mean, maybe if I could
remember what happened
in every episode
of the show, you know,
like Squeaky Toy, here,
well, then I could...
Hey, Squeaky Toy.
Oh, darling,
it's just divine!
It's remarkable.
It's stunning.
It's grand!
But it's all wrong.
But it's my best work
yet, cupcake.
But it simply
has to be better than
your best, darling.
I mean, look at these spots.
The shapes
aren't at all acceptable.
They're not soft enough.
(GIGGLES)
You know, cuddly,
like something you'd want to
squeeze the life out of!
No, this one
is no good at all,
an embarrassing mediocrity,
a complete failure.
Your harsh words strike me
like blows from the fists
of a large dockworker.
I would cry now
were it not so bourgeois.
There, there.
I know you'll get it right,
my depressive da Vinci.
You simply have to
keep trying.
After all, you're
the only one who truly
understands Cruella,
who can see
into her tortured soul.
Yes!
Her heart is like a vast,
dark ocean on whose waves
I am hopelessly adrift
in my dinghy of passion.
(CHUCKLES)
I shall not betray
your faith in me!
I shall create another canvas!
And another!
And another! And another!
Until I have found
spotted perfection!
I shall not stop until
the fires of your craving
have been quenched.
Junior deputy test?
Which episode was that in?
One of the lost episodes.
But I only give it to pups
who I think might be worthy.
And, who knows,
if you do real good,
maybe I'll even let you
be on the show with me!
Really?

I'm the star,
aren't I?

There's 101 of us.
101 Dalmatians?
Hey, I heard about you guys.
Yeah, you were
on the Twilight Bark.
Well, that's just it,

Hey, Thunderbolt?
How do you become

anyway?
Well, in my case,
it all hinged
on getting
just the right agent.
But, you know, kid,
getting there isn't so tough,
it's staying on top.
That's the real challenge.
You think you're doing great
and all of a sudden,

hold you right proper.
Jasper?
What?
Can we just go back
to jail, now?
Your muse has returned!
(GIGGLES)
But I am a failure.
You should despise me.
Stop being such a wet blanket
and come see
what I've brought for you!
A gift? For me?
How very Christmas morning
with the
twinkle lights of you.
The gift of inspiration!
Well, of course,
these are only
just about the most
adorable little puppies
I've ever seen
in my whole life!
Look at these
cute little darlings!
Fuzzy wuzzy
little puppy poo.
Poo poo, little puppy poo.
Did you see that?
Did you see that?
He gave me a little kissy!
I'm going to
kiss him back now.
He's having a wobbly.
And you mean for me
to do a painting
of them, don't you?
That's an absolutely
lovely idea!
It makes me smile a lot.
(CACKLES)
"Painting of them," he says.
(ALL LAUGHING)
No, no, no, darling.
I don't want you to
make art of the puppies.
I want you to make art
with the puppies.
Use their coats as canvases.
Create a masterpiece
in a new medium.
Together, you and I
will stun the art world with
our ruthless originality!
But that means...
(GASPS)
How could you do
such a thing to
the cute little puppies?
Poison them.
Drown them.
Bash them in the head!
I may be eccentric,
but I am not a sicko!
What?
And you'll not hurt one spot
on these innocent
little creatures' heads,
not as long as I have
anything to say about it!
(MUFFLED PROTESTS)
I thought you were
a man of vision,
someone who understood
my passions,
who understood
the complexity
that is Cruella!
Does no one get the point?
Lars, you're such
a disappointment.
Well, if I can't
have a masterpiece,
at least I'll finally have
a fabulous Dalmatian coat.
That's almost as good,
don't you agree?
(GULPS)
(PUPPIES WHIMPERING)
(PUPPY BARKING)
(BARKS)
(EXCLAIMS)
What's gotten
into you, girl?
(BARKING LOUDLY)
(BOTH EXCLAIMING)
(BARKING)
(WOMAN SCREAMING)
Kidnapped? How many?
(BARKING)
(WOMAN GRUNTS)
(DOG ON BUS BARKING)
(BARKING)
(HOWLING)
Uh-huh...
Wretched dogs.
(BARKING)
Oh!
(BOTH BARKING)
Steady, lads!
(DOGS BARKING EVERYWHERE)
I just can't
understand it.
We've been out here
doing hero stuff all day
and none of these
London photographers
seem to care.
Why do you want
photographers around?
Kid. Look, I got
something to tell you.
(DOG BARKING)
Something I guess
I should've told you
a long time ago.
I don't know
how to say this,
but the truth is...
Thunderbolt, listen!
There's an emergency!
Sounds like a kidnapping!
Being held in a warehouse,
a devil woman,
101 Dalmatians.
Hey, what a coincidence!
You come from
a family of 101, too!
Wait, what's the matter, kid?
That is my family.
Cruella must have
them again!
Cruella?
The devil woman!
She's the one
who kidnapped us before.
This is awful.
What am I going to do?
Wait a second. Thunderbolt!
You'll help us, won't you?
Yes. Well, kid,
that's what I wanted to
talk to you about.
You see,
I'm not really a...
Of course,
I'll help you, Patch.
Yeah, the world-famous
Thunderbolt
rescues the world-famous
101 Dalmatians.
(BARKING)
Sounds like
a good story to me!
Newsworthy, even.
Come on.
We'll let them know
I'm on my way.
The villains will soon
cringe in fear!
Mighty Thunderbolt is here!
(BARKS)
(BARK ECHOING)
POODLE GIRL:
It's just wonderful!
I heard it
through the Twilight Bark!
SWOONING DOG GIRL 2: Tell all!
POODLE GIRL: Well,
Thunderbolt is going
to save those
little Dalmatian puppies!
(GASPS)
The ones that were kidnapped?
That's right!
SWOONING DOG GIRL 2:
Isn't he just a dream?
More like a nightmare!
What if Blunderbolt
gets lucky and succeeds?
If the press got wind of that,
I'd never be rid of him!
Look, that must be
the warehouse.
Let's try over there.
Hey, do you think
you can reach that?
No problem.
Thunderbolt, old pal.
Lightning?
Lightning!
What are you doing here?
I came as soon as I heard.
Thought you might
need a bit of help.
Thanks for coming,
little buddy.
Wouldn't miss it.
JASPER: What's that
supposed to be?
Leave us alone, Jasper.
I think
it's kind of pretty.
So, what's
the plan, kid?
See those guards?
I think you can
sneak past them.
Remember the end
of episode 39,
"Flight from
the Forbidden Fort"?
The one where I ran,
jumped and sprang?
No, no. Sneaked,
evaded and triumphed.
Oh, yeah, of course.
I get it.
Hey, you're
a pretty smart kid.
That's a good plan, stealthy.
But we don't
need any of that!
This is Thunderbolt!
Villains always cringe in fear
whenever Thunderbolt is here!
So true.
What we need is
a full frontal assault!
How hard can it be?
That's right!
How hard can it be?
Follow me!
I'm right behind you, pal.
Sort of looks like you,
except you don't
have that much hair.
(BARKING)
It's Patch.
And he's brought
Thunderbolt!
He'll save us!
Here now, where'd
you come from?
Get out of here,
you stupid mutt!
Maybe they didn't
hear you.
Don't worry, kid.
This'll be take two.
(BARKING)
(BOTH EXCLAIMING)
That's more like it.
What have we here?
It's you.
(GIGGLES)
I owe you a debt
of gratitude, my photogenic
little friend!
If it wasn't for you,
I'd have never found
your brothers and sisters.
And now I have you all!
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
Thunder,
are you playing dead?
(GROANS)
That hurt.
That really hurt.
I knew
you were faking it.
(CHUCKLES)
He's been
faking it, all right!
Lightning, little buddy!
I am not your little buddy,
and you are no Wonder Dog.
This kid trusted you,
and look
where it's got him!
What does he mean?
He's been lying to you
all day, kid.
He doesn't care
about you or your family.
He was just trying to
get his name in the paper
and save his job. Ask him!
No! Well, yeah.
But... But...
But, but, but.
Hey, genius,
you're no hero.
You're a fraud.
And by the way,
there never was a plan
to recast you.
I just had to
get you out of the way.
(LAUGHS)
Now I gotta go
take your place
on the show.
My show.
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Thunder?
Thunder?
I don't understand.
You lied to me?
I put on an act.
I'm an actor.
It's what I do.
But you said
I could be
your junior deputy...
I made all that up!
I just needed someone
who knew the script.
But you said
that you'd help us.
Don't you get it, kid?
All that running around
and saving
the day stuff, it's...
It's make-believe!
It's not real.
You promised!
(CRYING)
Patch, I just...
(SIGHS)
You lied.
I'm sorry, all right?
(CRYING)
I'm not
a real Wonder Dog.
I just acted
like one once.
(PUPPY WHIMPERS)
I'm hungry.
I want to go home.
It's scary here.
Where's Mother?
(WHIMPERING)
Patch?
Are you okay?
Patch?
Dad was right.
I am just one of 101.
(SIGHS)
I'm sorry, Lucky.
This is all my fault.
Hey, didn't Thunderbolt
get out of a cage
like this once?
You know, in episode 13,
"The Flaming Flea Circus."
Episode 18.
Episode 18!
(PUPPIES BARKING)
Did you see
what Patch just did?
Wizard, Patch!
Absolutely wizard!
Hey, shut your yapping!
I'm trying to
get me beauty sleep.
(SNORING)
Okay, you guys,
stick together
and be quiet.
Don't look so put out.
My favorite furrier
will be open in the morning
and then we'll be
out of your hair.
Perfect! Episode 53,
"The Mineshaft Mix-up."
Everybody, stay here
until I tell you
it's safe to come out.
What is it with...
(SCREAMS)
You let the puppies get away!
You let the puppies get away!
JASPER: Hold on!
HORACE: They can't
have gone far.
Here, start searching!
When that crazy bird
finds out we lost them again,
she'll skin us!
Horace! Jasper!
What are you looking for?
Nothing, mum!
We haven't lost
the doggies or anything!
You let them escape?
Jasper fell asleep!
You were
snoring like a train!
(PATCH BARKING)
The lift is barking.
The mutts must
already be downstairs.
Funny how
we never heard
the lift.
Shut up, you!
Come on,
they'll be back soon!
Aren't we going down?
Nope. We're going up!
Ready, Rolly?
No, no. No, no, no,
no, no, no!
Whoa!
Can I do that again?
Okay, now the rest of you.
I'm just saying,
maybe the puppies
are still upstairs
and they just tricked us
into coming down here.
Come on now, Horace.
Dogs ain't that smart.
They haven't got the big,
educated brains we got.
97, away! 98, away!
99, away!
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHS)
Get him!
(PANTING)
(GRUNTS)
(PANTING)

VENDOR: Thanks, guv.
BUS DRIVER: Cheers.
Come on.
We're gonna
hitch a ride!
(SNARLS)
(GASPS)
(GASPS) Here they come!
There they are!
Get them!
(PANTING)
What happened?
She pushed me!
Did not!
(PUPPIES SCREAMING)
(PATCH GRUNTING)
The crazy lady
is right behind us!
(GROANING)
(GIGGLING) He had a birdie
in his mouth!
You idiots!
Here, take the wheel!
(ALL GASP)
Speed up, you imbeciles,
or we'll lose them!
Ha-ha!
That's one!
Just 98 more to go!
Okay, okay,
quiet on the set.
We're rolling!
And action,
Wholesome Tommy!
Lightning,
you're one of a...
(GULPS)
(HORN HONKING)
(SCREAMING)
Patch, help me!
Well, well,
if it isn't the little
half-pint hero again!
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
Wow! Check out Patch!
(SCREAMING)
(SIGHS)
(GASPS)
What do
we do now, Patch?
See those windows?
We can reach them
from the upper deck!
You go ahead,
I'll hold them off.
Somehow.
(BARKING)
Oh, here's
a feisty one.
(BARKING)
(THUNDERBOLT BARKS LOUDLY)
PATCH: Thunderbolt!
How you doing, kid?
But I thought...
Come on,
haven't you seen
the show?
I always arrive
just in the nick of time.
Look, I may not be
a real hero,
but I can act like one!
(BARKS)
(GASPS)
Lightning, don't
let them hurt me!
Heart. My heart.
Lightning,
this might be the end!
(HOWLING IN PAIN)
(SHUSHING)
PUPPY: She might see us.
Give me that!
I'll put this mongrel
out of his misery!
(GROANS)
(HOWLS)
Lightning, I can feel
the warm kiss of life
ere it parts my cheek.
Do not mourn me
when I am gone!
It is enough
that you were here
at the end.
(DRAMATIC SIGH)
Goodbye, old friend.
(SOBBING)
Good night, sweet prince!

ON RADIO: Dispatch to Car 47,
what's your situation? Over.
No, no, fellas.
I'm not with them!
I was trying to help
Thunderbolt, honest!
That's what I do.
I'm a sidekick.
We're a team!
Come on, fellas! Come on!
Don't you watch TV?
Now, who's
the pathetic ham actor?
I am painting spots,
but she doesn't like them
so good and then she says,
"No, you must kill them,"
and I'm not so sturdy.
She's very mean to me!
And then I pass out.
There they are.
Those are the ones!
She made us do it!
She made us do it!
Spots? I do see spots,
you know.
(LAUGHING)
They're everywhere!
CRUELLA: Spot! Spot!
Spot! Spot!
ROGER: There they are!
It's wonderful!
They're all here!
Come now. Stop it. Stop it.
We were so worried
about you.
Penny, Lucky,
my darling puppies!
(BARKING)
Patch! You're safe.
We were so worried
about you.
We missed you
very much, Patch.
You did?
Of course, Son.
Mom, Dad,
this is Thunderbolt.
He saved us.
I don't know
how to thank you
for saving my family.
No, no. Don't thank me.
It was your son,
Patch, who...
Mom! Dad!
The devil woman got us.
And we were trapped
and then Patch got us out!
Yeah. And Patch made me
a trampoline!
You should have
seen Patch, Mother.
He was fantastic.
Just like Thunderbolt!
(THUNDERBOLT LAUGHING)
You know,
they're right, kid.
Me, I'm just an actor.
But you, you are a real
One-of-a-Kind Wonder Dog!
Hey, lads,
