Amos Doggie & Hannah -- "Visit to Arizona" The scene is a luxurious estate a few miles from Phoenix, Arizona, the home of the 'famous' canine lawyer (and now Road Rover agent) Prairie Mason and his wife, Prairie Rose. They are all sitting in deck chairs by the outdoor swimming pool with two visiting friends, Amos Doggie and Hannah. All four are in their Cano-Sapien forms and wearing bathing suits. PRAIRIE MASON (sipping a cold drink): I never really knew how relaxing this old pool could be until I became a Cano-Sapien! Now I can see why humans are so fascinated with water activities! PRAIRIE ROSE (nods): You're right, darling! I can now really swim in this pool instead of just 'doggie paddling' all the time. Amos, Hannah, what do you think of Arizona? I know this is your first visit here! HANNAH (smiles, sips a cold drink): It's truly beautiful here, Rose! The painted desert, the warm sunshine, the unique wildlife! I love it! AMOS DOGGIE (sadly): Dis place be too dry for Amos. You have no swamp! No gators! Just be a big bunch of sand with cactus stickin out of it... HANNAH (turns to Amos, angry): AMOS! That's no way to talk to our gracious hosts! The Masons were kind enough to invite us here for the weekend! Show some manners! AMOS DOGGIE (shakes head): Amos mean no offense, folks. I will say you have a wonderful looking place here! You must be a really great lawyer to buy all of dis, I guarantee! PRAIRIE MASON (giggles): Well, Amos, I have handled a number of high profile cases over the years.. PRAIRIE ROSE (interrupts): And he hasn't lost a single one of them! HANNAH (looks around): Where are your children? I know you have four darling puppies and ... PRAIRIE ROSE (smiles): I wouldn't exactly call them 'puppies' anymore! In human terms, they're pretty much teenagers now. They're over at their uncle's place now, they all love to spend time with him, and he always takes good care of them while my husband and I are at the law office. HANNAH (smiles): Uncle? You mean Uncle Dinosaur, don't you? PRAIRIE ROSE (laughs): Yes! I must admit, our friend the Computer Dinosaur really has a way with those children! He's always taking them to the park, the tar pits, various nature walks all around his cave... AMOS DOGGIE (shocked): Dinosaur? I'd like to be meeting this 'Dinosaur' someday! Wonder if he'd like to try my crawdad bisque! PRAIRIE MASON (smiles): Well, like all brontosaurus's, he's a vegetarian. Are crawdads considered to be 'meat'? AMOS DOGGIE (shakes head): Nope! They be bugs! HANNAH (rolls eyes): Ok...... PRAIRIE MASON (stands up): Later this evening, we're going out to our favorite restraunt to dine! You'll simply love Tex-Mex cuisine! AMOS DOGGIE (confused): Cuisine? That be some sort of bird y'all cooks up? PRAIRIE ROSE (laughs): I LOVE your sense of humor, Amos! AMOS DOGGIE (confused): Did Amos say something funny? HANNAH (nods): Yes, you did! (elbows him) AMOS DOGGIE (surprised): Hey, woman! Why you be poking me like dis? PRAIRIE MASON (smiles): Let's all take a dip in the pool before lunch, and then.... HANNAH (ears perk up): I hear a beeper going off inside your house... PRAIRIE ROSE (confused): I don't hear anything... PRAIRIE MASON (nods): Must be Hannah's super hearing again, be right back! Prairie Mason rushes inside the house and answers the call. It's the Master calling from Road Rover Headquarters. Minutes later, he returns to the pool area. PRAIRIE MASON: Everyone, that was the Master calling. He wants us to investigate the Putang Enterprises Corporate Headquarters in Flagstaff. PRAIRIE ROSE (confused): Why does he want us to do that? PRAIRIE MASON (sternly): That company was secretly taken over by Gen-Par Inc a few months ago. The Master believes that General Parvo is using Putang as a 'cover' for an even bigger operation. He wants us to go there and find out all we can. HANNAH (nods): And we're just the four that can do it! AMOS DOGGIE (stands up): We be leaving now, yes? PRAIRIE MASON (nods): Yes! Let's all hurry and get into our Road Rover uniforms. I have a Street Rover parked in the basement, let's all meet there in five minutes! PRAIRIE ROSE (nods): We're Road Rovers! All four of them howl in unison and then run into the house. Four minutes later, Prairie Mason, Prairie Rose and Hannah are all standing beside the Street Rover, dressed in their uniforms. Amos comes running a minute later, dressed in blue overalls and a flannel shirt. HANNAH (stomps foot): AMOS!! We've been through this before. You're a Road Rover now, you need to wear the uniform! AMOS (sadly): But Amos like not that uniform! What be wrong with what I'm wearing now? PRAIRIE MASON (sternly): There's no time for this, let's roll! All four of them get into the Street Rover and drive towards Flagstaff. The scene now shifts to the Putang Enterprises Corporate Headquarters building. In a huge office on the top floor, General Parvo is seated behind a large antique oak desk. Seated in front of him are the Groomer and Digit, Parvo's accountant. PARVO (turns to Digit): So, Digit, how is this company's finances? DIGIT (upset): We're RUINED, man! Ever since you took over, this company hasn't shipped out any of our merchandise! I have customers screaming at me everyday wanting to know when their shipments will arrive! What's going on with our production facilities? We're never going to make a profit this way! PARVO (laughs): Who said I wanted to make a profit? All I wanted this company for was to manufacture a few choice items for me... that's all! DIGIT (angry): General, we can't even meet our payroll this week! Putang Enterprises has run out of operating cash! PARVO (snears): GOOD! We're filing for bankruptcy tommorrow, just as soon as I take all of my new 'creations' back to my secret base DIGIT (stands up, angry): But what about me? You promised me that I'd be taken care of for the rest of my life! PARVO (smiles): And so you shall! Parvo presses a red button on his desk, a wall panel slides open, revealing two large Cano-Mutants. PARVO (points at Digit): You heard the man, take care of him NOW! The two Cano-Mutants grab Digit by his arms and drag him out of the office, kicking and screaming. GROOMER (smiles): I like your style, my General! PARVO (smiles): So do I! (coughs several times): Longine! GROOMER (hands Parvo one): Hear you go, sir! PARVO (sits back down): We are SO close to achieving my ultimate goal this time, Groomer! For months, I've had the factory workers of this little company building me a new fleet of attack vehicles, and even had time to build three new Cano-Mutators! Tonight, under the cover of darkness, we'll load up all of these things and return to my base. Then, shortly afterwards, I'll blow up this entire complex and collect the insurance money for it! My plan is completely foolproof, and those mangy Road Rovers won't stop me this time! GROOMER (stands up): Oh, General, you're so smart! PARVO (smiles): You are SO right, Groomer! Soon, I'll have the means to mount an all out attack on all of Shepard's pets! No one will stop me! The scene switches to the Street Rover, which is hidden behind some bushes a short distance from the tall fence that surrounds the Putang Enterprises Complex. PRAIRIE ROSE (whispers): Hannah, do you hear anything unusual? HANNAH (nods): Yes! The Master was right! I've just heard Parvo and Groomer talking to thier accountant. He's been secretly making new vehicles and Cano-Mutators in the company's factory. Tonight, they're moving everything out and blowing up the entire complex to collect the insurance money. AMOS (growls): That Parvo be a really bad human! HANNAH (turns to Prairie Mason): What are we going to do about it? PRAIRIE MASON (looks all around): Right now, I suggest we all raise up our hands! The others look all around as twelve Cano-Mutants have surrounded the Street Rover and have their laser rifles pointed at them. Within minutes, all four of them have their hands tied behind their backs, and are marched inside of the factory building where Parvo and Groomer are there to meet them. PARVO (angry): SO! More of Shepard's pets are here! I should've expected this! PRAIRIE ROSE (struggles): Let us go! PARVO (smiles): What a great idea! AMOS (confused): It is? PARVO (nods): Yes! We'll let all of you go..... into my Cano-Mutators! They need to be tested anyway, right Groomer? GROOMER (grins): Right you are, General! PARVO (laughs): This is PERFECT! There are four of you lousy Road Rovers, and I have four Cano-Mutators! (turns to his Cano-Mutants): Toss one Road Rover into each chamber and prepare to activate all four Cano-Mutators! Parvo's soldiers throw each of the Rovers into a Cano-Mutator. Before any of the machines can be activated, each of the Rovers breaks free. Prairie Mason 'multiplies' himself several times, and all of his 'duplicates' quickly force open the door of the chamber and run out. Prairie Rose 'grows' so large, she 'breaks' her chamber as she expands to over fifty foot tall. Hannah uses a high-pitched sonic blast to cause her chamber to vibrate and then 'fall apart' right in front of her. Amos uses his bionic arm to smash the door of his chamber open. PARVO (shocked): NO! This can't be happening! GROOMER (shocked): The Road Rovers are LOOSE! PARVO (shouts out): Cano-Mutants! Stop them! Two dozen Cano-Mutants come running towards them. All of the "Prairie Masons" pounce on many of the Cano-Mutants and start fighting hand to hand. Prairie Rose grabs several of them in her huge hands. Amos and Hannah join the 'fight' as well, knocking out several Cano-Mutants all by themselves. In a matter of minutes, all of the Cano-Mutants have been defeated. All of the 'Prairie Masons' merge back together into one. Prairie Rose 'shrinks' back to normal size. HANNAH (ears perk up): I hear a helicopter engine starting... PRAIRIE MASON (looks around): Parvo and the Groomer are gone! PRAIRIE ROSE (points at a window): LOOK! Parvo and Groomer have taken off in a helicopter and have soon disappeared over the horizon. AMOS (shakes fist in the air): Hey! Let's go git that guy! HANNAH (shocked): We don't have time! Remember what Parvo said he was going to do? PRAIRIE ROSE (frightened): That's right! He's going to blow up this complex! PRAIRIE MASON (nods): We have to find those explosives FAST! He may have already set time bombs to detenate! AMOS (looks out a window): And there be factory workers inside dat building over there! PRAIRIE MASON (sternly): Ok, we have to act fast! Amos, you and my wife run over to the factory and lead everyone out to safety. Hannah, you and I are going to find those bombs! Let's hope they all have timers that tick so you can hear them and locate them! Let's get moving! As Amos and Prairie Rose run towards the factory, Hannah listens closely for any faint ticking sounds. She hears a noise nearby, Prairie Mason finds one time bomb in a crate and shuts it off. PRAIRIE MASON (looks at the timer): This one was set to go off in ten minutes, we don't have much time left! Amos and Prairie Rose have rushed all of the factory rushes outside the complex as Hannah and Prairie Mason continue their 'search' mission. When all of the workers are a safe distance away, Amos turns towards the gate and runs back in. PRAIRIE ROSE (shouts out): AMOS!!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?? AMOS (shouts back): AMOS GO HELP HANNAH!!! PRAIRIE ROSE (shouts out): COME BACK HERE!!! YOU COULD GET YOURSELF KILLED!!!! As Amos runs back into the factory, Prairie Mason and Hannah are already there, and have found one last bomb. PRAIRIE MASON (trying to shut off the timer): The timer is rusted solid, I can't turn it off! HANNAH (frightened): We'll have to get rid of it! Amos runs up to Prairie Mason and grabs the time bomb with his bionic arm. He immediately heaves it into the air, the time bombs breaks through a skylight and explodes in the air. Pieces of glass and scraps of metal fall to the factory floor. Hannah, Amos and Prairie Mason, who are hiding beneath a transport vehicle, are safe. Prairie Rose hears the explosion and rushes back into the factory. PRAIRIE ROSE (shouting): AMOS!!!! HANNAH!!!!! ANYONE?????? PRAIRIE MASON (shouts back): We're all fine! Prairie Rose follows her husband's voice, she sees the three emerge from their hiding place, rushes over and hugs Prairie Mason tightly. Amos and Hannah embrace also. HANNAH (happy): We did it! We saved the factory! AMOS (happy): And all dose factory workers, too! PRAIRIE ROSE (crying): When I heard the explosion .... PRAIRIE MASON (still huging his wife): I know, I know.... we're all safe now! HANNAH (shouts out): To the Power of the Pack! All four howl in unison. The scene now shifts back the Prairie Mason's home, three hours later. All four Rovers are back at the swimming pool, Prairie Mason takes a dive off the diving board while Hannah and Prairie Rose sit in 'pool chairs' and float quietly at the other end of the pool. Amos is sitting at the picnic table, trying to tune in a portable radio. HANNAH (shouts out): Amos! Stop playing with that radio and join us all in the pool! PRAIRIE ROSE (shouts out): Yeah! The water's fine! AMOS (still playing with the radio): I wants to hear some Cajun dance music! Amos dials on the radio until he hears a news broadcast. RADIO (blaring): .. And in other news, the Road Rovers successfully stopped a terrorist attack on the Putang Enterprises Complex today in Flagstaff. These brave dogs saved the building as well as all the workers inside from numerous time bombs placed throughout the complex. In a related story, all of the assets of the Putang company have been frozen by the Arizona State Board of Review. The firm's controller, someone who has only been identified as 'Digit' has provided evidence of financial corruption and illegal activities within the company. He has come forward, in his words, because he was saved from certain death by a spotted mutt with a metal arm. And now, this from ..... AMOS (turns radio off): Mutt with dee metal arm? That be gratitude for ya! HANNAH (laughs): Darling, the important thing is we completed our mission successfully! NOW will you come into the pool with us? AMOS (smiles): Sure will, here I be! Amos takes a running start and then 'cannonballs' into the pool. He accidently lands on Prairie Mason, who was swimming beneath the surface. He immediately comes up out of the water, looking very angry. PRAIRIE MASON (angry): AMOS!!! Will you please watch where you are diving? AMOS (confused): I was, and the pool didn't move an inch! HANNAH (laughs): That's my Amos Doggie! All four of them laugh outloud. -----------------------------------------------------------------
