"It was your job to stay at the baobab and mind the animals." "How did that dog get in?" "When I arrived at the tree, the dog had the colours on, thought you did it!" "How did that little mongrel do it?" "Home sweet home." "Yes Jockie, we have an underground residence." "It's an old mine shaft." "Brace yourself, it's party time!" "Ha ha!" "Look at them baby!" "How do I look?" "Watch your step, whoop whoop whoop whoop!" "Easy does it." "Now listen to this catchy song my Me chirpy canine chum." "They're pointing out where you went wrong and to join mat race was dumb." "And worse than mat you had to go and win, which was tactless and insane."

"Well, I am anyway." "You're more like, free as a rock." "Ha ha!" "Why the long face?" "I shouldn't have done it." "Well you shouldn't have, but you did." "It's over now." "Bad luck to keep worrying about the past." "Time to move on." "How can I?" "When I made things worse." "Well you win some, you lose some." "You helped Fitz." "But you put Basil in Hot Water."

"Try again Snarly." "Well you see, you were about to tear the runt apart, when this old beam just fell and hit you!" "It was crazy!" "Oh tragic." "Right well that's it, have a good evening." "So you couldn't race?" "I don't see any further use for you." "Stop!" "Now, where were we Basil?" "The beam fell on me and you helped me off to bed?" "The beam did this?" "Oh dear." "I just wanted to help Fitz." "He was going to lose all his money." "So?" "That might have been just the lesson he needed to learn." "Money is a human matter, it's complicated." "Everyone makes mistakes." "The thing is to learn from them." "Here he comes!" "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "We're going to hunt for the leopard!" "We?" "Ha, this I gotta see."

"Oh" "I don't know if this is such a good idea." "Look at this" "Ohh, careful, careful" "Haibo wena!" "Oh boy." "You'll kill us before the leopard!" "Baba?" "No." "These are thousands of years old." "Oh." "So no new ones?" "Jock!" "Stay close boy." "Okay." "He won't come back." "He knows we're here." "What was that?" "We should stay!" "Wo!" "Wait here." "Mo-om!" "Quiet." "Wo!" "Jock!"

"Hessian is so 1873, but I seen the light, I'm singing what I choose, yeah I seen the light, I got nothin' to lose," "I'm as happy as a sad boy, don't use those hessian blues..." "Take it away Georgie, tickle those ivories!" "I'm as happy as a sad boy, don't use those hessian blues....." "So hang around and listen for a while," "I'm sure I'll raise a glimmer of a smile.." "Basil!" "Basil..." "I'd hate to lose you, and your good voice..." "Just remember, you only take orders from me!" "We're here to collect the piano for Mr. Morris." "We're here to collect the piano for Mr. Morris." "Aargh!" "I've already loaded the piano." "The letter confirms cancelation of this." "Why don't you and your dog come inside?" "I'm afraid we're in a hurry." "Take the piano off!" "George!" "George!" "Come on down here now!" "Get down here..." "Gently, gently, put it, yes, Come on, lift.... higher." "easy, easy, careful with that!" "easy... easy..." "What are you doing up there?" "Get back inside!" "(off screen) We have a score to settle." "Go get him George" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Get back here Jock!" "Come boy!" "crikey!" "Crack of dawn we leave for Pilgrim's Rest..." "I'm about to lose a big client." "You bring the wagon, I'll ride ahead." "And George... is coming." "Now careful, careful." "We don't want Polly's piano broken." "There you are, perfect order." "Oh how wonderful!" "Well let's see if it's still in tune." "Ah!" "Good heavens!" "Ah!" "Hey hey, Basil!" "What else is in there?" "My apologies Sir!" "..." "It's the monkey from Crooks' Corner." "Oh poor little lamb." "Calm down Basil, what's wrong?" "George was about to feed me to the crocodiles." "Because of me?" "Yes." "I wish I'd never met you." "Sorry." "I didn't want you to get into trouble." "What have you done to him?" "Nothing!" "Come inside Basil." "Come on, this way." "What!" "?" "I say Lillian!" "Are we keeping this monkey?" "Give him a banana father!" "Who could that be?" "What in God's name are you doing here?" "I.. er.." "I need to talk to you Sir." "It's seedling!" "What's the flower for?" "Well sorry to trouble you luv." "Oh please, here a... accept my flower?" "Um..." "Come in." "I..." "I'll..." "I'll get you some tea." "Argh." "Time for a walk." "Sir, sir, I, I need a moment please." "Um.. er.." "Well the piano..." "You see I thought" "I did all of your deliveries?" "I'm giving this young fellow a chance to prove himself." "Wo, hey, take it easy." "Ah, where's that brave dog of yours?" "Jock, Jock, come back." "Ah, there you are." "Come on take it." "Take it." "He'll only accept food from me." "Ah.." "Well trained." "Anyway it's wonderful to see you folk..." "I have a proposition for you." "For who?" "Oh Mr. Fitzpatrick." "Your dog has become the talk of the town." "I'd like to give him another chance of proving himself." "Jock has nothing to prove, he wont participate in any more of your races." "Oh... it's not the races Mr. Fitzpatrick." "It's a challenge." "I mean your dog is itching for a fight." "Now ask yourself why he raced." "I mean why he challenged George" "Bold as brass." "No" "Well he's fed up with being the runt, that's why." "He wants recognition." "And it seems you want it too." "Well no!" "Oh, yeah, the whole town's heard your stories." ""He killed the maneating leopard!"." "Well looks like you've set the challenge, Mr. Fitzpatrick." "Me?" "I did nothing of the sort!" "Well if the challenge is too big, maybe the dog's too small and your stories are too tall?" "..." "I think it's time you left." "Which is it Mr. Fitzpatrick!" "Will you stop that!" "?" "Oh dear, that's a bad sign." "Aaaah!" "Relax Basil." "Tell me again why we're walking through the graveyard?" "Is this your idea of how to calm me down?" "Because it's not working!" "You'll be safer out here with Jim and Pezulu." "You're not gonna fight, are you?" "Of course not... that wouldn't solve anything." "Good." "Because George is crazy." "He wasn't always that way, but Seedling tied him up, beat him, made him fight, it drove him mad!" "Well there you are lover boy!" "How is she?" "She's fine." "Fine?" "!" "Yeah." "I don't wanna know about fine," "I want details!" "Details!" "You know, what was she wearing..." "was she wearing perfume?" "Was she wearing a collar?" "Did she look at ya?" "Did she wink at ya?" "Was she speaking French?" "You know a little vous le vous?" "(loud CREAK!" ") What was that?" "Jim!" "George?" "Good evening Basil." "Still taking orders from the wrong guy?" "Which guy?" "Let him Go!" "Run basil!" "Stop it!" "I should finish you off!" "Oooh." "What are you going to do with that Basil?" "Leave him alone!" "Leave him alone!" "Baak baaak!" "Stop fooling around George!" "Time for your challenge, come on." "In you go." "Come on!" "Go on, in!" "Ah, get in there dog." "Go on." "Move, move!" "Good dog." "(WHISTLES)" "(WHISTLES)" "Oh no!" "Jim?" "They've taken Jock." "Who could that be?" "..." "It's very late." "At this hour, hmm?" "Sorry to trouble you." "What is it?" "Seedling's taken Jock..." "They've burnt my wagon." "Father, get the cart." "Don't worry Polly." "We'll find him." "People!" "People!" "This is the final call, we gotta have an early start." "Are there any more bets out there for the leopard slayer?" "Haven't been much help to your Fitzy, have you?" "All you had to do was stay out of our business..." "Bad dog!" "Don't let me down tomorrow, I want a good fight." "You stay with me." "Aah!" "Hey I can walk you know!" "What is this?" "Buddy up?" "Shhh..." "Get away from here!" "Gotta get you out." "I've caused enough trouble." "Julian!" "Get away!" "Quick!" "Time for business George." "Yes..." "What a beautiful day!" "George!" "Hup hup, come on!" "Hiyah!" "Where is he?" "!" "Who?" "The little coward has run away!" "He won't miss the fight." "You better hope not." "I need a curtain raiser." "Your dog." "Seedling please!" "He stands no chance." "Find our challenger, and your dog lives." "Wind it up Basil." "People people!" "Please please please!" "May I have your attention." "If you'll be patient, we'll have a little entertainment before the main event." "George may be a little rusty, it's been a while since his last fight..." "Treat this as a warm up!" "That's not a warm up, that's Snarly!" "Hup hup!" "Hiyah!" "Hiyah!" "Basil loved these." "No thanks." "Seedling's making Snarly fight George." "He's got no chance." "Baba?" "You are free, now it is time to choose." "How can I?" "Everything I've done has gone wrong." "I lost my mother, made everyone here suffer." "Fitz lost everything because of me." "And now Snarly..." "Mistakes are the price we pay for knowledge..." "I can not beat him baba." "It is time." "Your mother is with you." "Well here he is folks, all the way from Australia," "Snapping Snarly!" "Where is the leopard slayer?" "Jock!" "Come on, where are ya!" "Jock!" "With teeth larger than a lions'  weighing in at 9 stone, our one  our only  Geeoooorge!" "Let's hear it folks come on!" "Jock!" "The Leopard Slayer!" "Seedling:" "All right folks, this is it, come on!" "Seedling:" "I love a fight in the morning." "Hey!" "Runt!" "I have a little surprise for you." "Recognize this?" "I think it killed your mother?" "Ladies and Gentlemen," "I present, the leopard slayer!" "Go Jock!" "Gimme a fight runt!" "That's it Jock!" "On me toes, on me toes!" "Yeah!" "Don't be scared, come on," "I'll make it quick!" "We don't have to do this, George." "We don't have to fight." "That's it Jock!" "I'm not your enemy!" "Yes." "You." "Are!" "I'm not the one who chained you up, beat you and made you fight!" "Don't let him make a monkey out of you Jock!" "Who's the monkey?" "You're the one taking orders from the wrong guy." "What are you?" "A weakling?" "You're free." "Now it's your time to choose." "Seedling:" "Get him George!" "Come on!" "What are you doing, George?" "!" "Come on you worthless ape!" "It's up to you." "Jock See ya later Seedling!" "Jock Get outta town!" "Get him George!" "Let's see him off Basil!" "Aaahhh!" "Come back!" "Hold on Basil," "I'm coming!" "Oh, oh.." "We made it George." "George?" "..." "George, come on my friend." "Jock:" "Stay there Basil!" "Seedling:" "Come on my friend ah!" "Jock:" "Stay where you are!" "Enjoy your swim." " Basil:" "Jock!" "Oh boy." "Help me." "Oh come on down Basil." "Jock Keep coming, keep coming!" "Basil!" "George:" "Don't panic." "Jock!" "Hold on Basil!" "Careful Basil!" "Aaaaah!" "Jock!" "Jock!" "I'll get ya." "Hold on!" "Ok there shoot!" "Again!" " Fitz:" "Swim Jock!" "Swim!" "Hold on, Basil!" "I'm holding on, I'm holding on." "Ah!" "Is that necessary?" "There goes George." "I hope he'll be alright." "At least he's free to decide for himself." "We all can, thanks to you Jock." "Come on your fans are waiting, take a bow." "Did, you see him?" "... (Did you see him?" "He was amazing, did you see him?" "Can't believe it." "(Of course he was amazing, he is amazing!" ")" "Make way, make way!" "Get outta the way here, watch your feet there!" "Here comes the hero." "Well done Jock!" "Good dog." "Well done Jock." "Well done boy!" "We're so proud of you!" "Oh Hoorah!" "Go and see him Polly!" "Hamba Kahle. (Go well)" "Bravo Jock" "Se ete extraordinaire." "Thanks" " Pezulu:" "Ahhh, that's nice." "Pezulu:" "That's, mat's my boy." "Snarly;" "Hey Polly!" "Snarly;" "Got a sister?" "Look at them, a fine pair." "I learned a lot over that journey." "I learned that the things we want are not necessarily the things we need." "And I learned to value friendship, love, devotion and above all else," "I learned the importance of courage, to stand up for what is right, and to never, ever give up." "I was different when it came to an end." "I was a man." "And I owed it all to a brave little dog named Jock."
