Colleen, Hunter, Blitz, Exile and Shag are playing cards. Samantha is sipping on a cup of coffee, seated on the same sofa as her husband Otto, who is seemingly staring off into space. SAMANTHA (taps Otto on the shoulder): Honey, are you alright? You seem to be daydreaming. OTTO (sternly): No, Samantha, I've just downloading a number of files from the Internet at this moment. SAMANTHA (rolls eyes): Oh... BLITZ (lays down his cards): Look at me! I vin again! HUNTER (shocked): I would not have predicted this, NO WAY! COLLEEN (growls): I think Fluffypants is cheatin'! EXILE (points): Are you cheating, weird boy? SHAG (nods): Reah! BLITZ (shocked): How could you ever suspect ME of cheating? Would I do dat to my friends? HUNTER, COLLEEN, EXILE, SHAG (in unison): YES!!! OTTO (back still turned to them): Hunter, if you will check Blitz's left sleeve, you will discover the Ace of Spades, the Ace of Hearts, the King of Spades, the .... Before Otto can finish, Hunter and Colleen jump up and grab Blitz's left arm and wrist. Up his sleeve are the cards Otto described and more. COLLEEN (growls): BLISTER!!!! HUNTER (upset): Hey! Cheating isn't cool, bro! BLITZ (angry): It's all computer boy's fault! He should have kept his big robot mouth shut! Samantha jumps up from the couch and approaches Blitz. SAMANTHA (growls): How many times have I asked you not to call my husband a robot? He's a real dog with cybernetic and bionic implants. Stop calling him a robot or a computer! BLITZ (sarcastic, stands up): You're always taking up for him! Could could anyone fall in love with a hunk of tin and vires anyway? Blitz is now laughing at Samantha, she growls fiercely and kicks him the stomach so hard, he sails across the room and lands flat on the opposite wall. Samantha leaves the room in tears, Otto follows her out into the hallway. HUNTER (growls at Blitz): Way to go, Blitz! You just HAD to say that, didn't you? COLLEEN (mad): You know Sam is sensative about her husband, Blinky! BLITZ (barely moving, singing): London bridge is falling down....falling down.... falling down.... EXILE (shakes head): Now he's a singing weird boy! Otto catches up to Samantha in the hallway and hugs her. SAMANTHA (crying): Why would people accept you as a person? Like I do! OTTO (holding her close): Oh Samantha. Don't worry what others think. I love you, you love me and that's all that matters! SAMANTHA (looks up and smiles): I guess you're right, darling! The two share a quick kiss. MASTER (on PA system): Road Rovers Otto and Samantha please report to the briefing room..... Road Rovers Otto and Samantha please report to the briefing room.... OTTO (nods): The Master calls us! SAMANTHA (smiles): Let's go! In the briefing room, the Master is up on his platform, Otto and Samantha quickly find seats. MASTER (looking down): Otto, Samantha Maddog, I have a very special mission for you. The Police in San Francisco have asked for our assistance. Are you familiar with the famous rock music group known as 'Guns 'N Roses?" SAMANTHA (nods): Very vaguely, Master, sir. OTTO (nods): There is much internet data on this musical group. For example .... MASTER (interrupts): Ok, Otto, you've already answered my question. They are holding a concert at the convention center in San Francisco three days from now. Axel Rose, their lead singer, went to the police, reporting that the group had received several death threats. That's why I've asked for you two. SAMANTHA (nods): I understand, Master, sir. MASTER (shakes head): It's not that simple, Sam. The warm up band for the concert quit when they heard about the death threats, so you and several other Rovers will be going undercover, as Guns 'N Roses warm up band. That will give you ample time to search for, and if need by, protect Mr Rose and his group from harm. OTTO (sternly); Who will the other members of our team be? MASTER (points to monitor): I have selected three more musically inclined Rovers to round out your band. They and Boomerang, No36s and Alice Kiddman. They are waiting for you in the basement area, you'll need to have much rehearsal before the concert. I want you to look and sound convincing, do you understand? OTTO (nods): Affirmative, Master! We will complete our mission assignment! Otto and Samantha follow the Master to the basement where Boomerang, No36s (pure white male fox) and Alce Kiddman (male collie) are waiting for them. ALICE (happy): WOW!! I didn't know Colleen was going to be part of this mission! NO36s (happy): Oh YEAH! She's one hot babe! BOOMERANG (looks closer): Er.. guys... I don't think that's Colleen... ALICE (runs up and kisses her hand): I am in the presence of sheer beauty, my lovely Colleen! SAMANTHA (smiles, shakes head): But I'm not Colleen! NO36s (walks over): Why don't you drop that Hunter dude and hook up with me? SAMANTHA (sternly): I'm NOT Colleen! I'm Samantha Maddog! BOOMERANG (nods): I thought so, we've met before! OTTO (sternly): Greetings, Alice Kiddman and No36s. I am Otto and this is my wife Samantha. We must begin preparation for our upcoming undercover mission. ALICE (stares at Samantha): What's the rush, dude? NO36s (taps Alice on the shoulder): Alice, she's married, remember? ALICE (frowns): Oh yeah.... BOOMERANG (takes his guitar): So, Otto, do you play? OTTO (looks at it): Stringed electrically enhanced musical instrument... Gibson... I believe ... ALICE (smiles): But can you PLAY it? OTTO (sternly): Processing... yes, I can play now. Otto takes the guitar and plays it like a pro, all of the Rovers, even Samantha, are amazed. BOOMERANG (takes guitar back): WOW! Where did you learn to play like that? OTTO (sternly): By accessing and duplicating the complete musical library of Frank Zappa... ALICE (nods): You rock, dude! NO36s (points): Well, we have enough guitars, what we need is a keyboard player. Otto walks over to the keyboard, after thinking briefly, he plays it so well the other Rovers are impressed. ALICE (smiles): More data file accessing, Otto? OTTO (nods): Affirmative. NO36s (concerned): Ok, we have a drummer, two guitarists and a keyboard player. Now we need a female lead singer ... hmmmmmm.... The other Rovers now stare at Samantha. SAMANTHA (shocked): ME? A lead singer? OTTO (nods): Based on your personal data and the singing you've done before in the shower and bathtub, it is my opinion you have sufficent vocal skills to occupy the role. ALICE (confused): Oh.... yeah..... right....... BOOMERANG (smiles): What do ya say, Sam? NO36s (nods): Hey, you'd be perfect! And your not bad lookin' either! OTTO (looks at Samantha): Your participation is required for the successful completion of our current mission. SAMANTHA (nods): Ok, I'll do it! BOOMERANG (smiles): Otto, we've already thought of a name for our group! ALICE (nods): We sure have, and it's a good one! NO36s (nods): Yep, we will be called "DOGSTYLE", what do you think? SAMANTHA (shocked): Er.....well..... OTTO (sternly): Human rock music being performed by canines, the name would be appropriate SAMANTHA (shakes head): That's not the word I would use to describe it... BOOMERANG (happy): OK, it's settled! Ok group, let's practice! The five Rovers practiced many songs together, working hard to make sure they would be ready to perform. The scene now shifts to the convention center on the day of the concert. It is one hour before 'Dogstyle' is to make it's debut, No36s, Boomerang and Alice are dressed in their concert costumes. Otto is wearing a black-leather jacket with the 'Dogstyle' symbol on the back, torn blue jeans, and a black top hat on his head. Samantha is still in her dressing room, refusing to come out. OTTO (knocking on the door): Samantha, we're on stage in fifty four minutes. Please come out and join us! SAMANTHA (heard from behind door): I'm not coming out! This costume is very revealing! OTTO (sternly): Samantha, remember, we must not only sound like a rock group, we must dress like one as well. You are a part of the group, we need you. WIll you please come out? SAMANTHA (heard from behind door): But I wear more to the beach than I do in this costume! OTTO (sternly): Please, my darling? Slowly the door opens. Timidly, she steps out into the hallway. She is wearing a 'cut off' black halter top and a jet black micro mini-skirt, black fingerless gloves and tall black boots. ALICE (happy): OH WOW!!! NO36s (happy): OH YEAH!! BABY!! BOOMERANG (excited): Now THAT's a costume! Alice, No36s and Boomerang begin to howl and beg at Samantha's feet. OTTO (sternly): May I remind you three we are on a mission? The three continue to howl and beg. OTTO (sternly): May I remind you three that we have a concert to perform? ALICE (stares at Samantha): WHAT CONCERT? NO36s (stares at Samantha): WHAT A BABE!!!! BOOMERANG (stares at Smanthan): That's one hot mama! Samantha gets embarrassed and hides behind Otto. OTTO (low growl): May I remind you three that Samatha is my wife and that anyone who atttempts to make a pass at her will be instantly incinerated with my laser beam eyes? Hearing this stops the three cold. ALICE (scared): Whoa, big guy! No problem.. NO36s (scared): Er... yeah. Take it easy... BOOMERANG (nods): Like you said, Otto, we have a mission to complete! At that moment, Axle Rose comes down to meet the members of DOGSTYLE. AXLE (nods): Hey! Really great outfits! Y'know, you guys really LOOK like dogs? SAMANTHA (nods): Yeah.... it's part of the act, Mr Rose, sir! ALICE (shakes hands): WOW!! It's THE Axle Rose! I'm Alice Kiddman! BOOMERANG (shakes hands): Hey Axle, you remember me, don't ya? AXLE (nods): Yeah! Boomerang! DUDE! What's it shaken? NO36s (shakes hands): I'm No36s, meeting you is a real pleasure! AXLE (looks at Otto and Samantha): Hey, those costumes are great, Otto and Sam! OTTO (shocked): You know us? AXLE (laughs): Hey, I read the papers! I watch the news! The fuzz sent you here to watch my back, right? OTTO (sternly): Actually, we are here to protect you from any threats to your life. AXLE (confused): Ain't that what I just said? (stares at Samantha): WHOA! Look at YOU, Sam! Too bad you're already spoken for, I'd LOVE to party with YOU! ALICE (huge grin): So would I! NO36s (huge grin): Me too! BOOMERANG (huge grin): Oh YEAH! Samantha once more hides behind Otto. Otto gives such an angry stare at Alice, No36s and Boomerang that all three slowly back away. AXLE (smiles): Hey! I meant no harm, Sammy, it's just that you are LOOKING GOOD!! SAMANTHA (timidly): Er.... thank you..... Mr Axle..... sir....... AXLE (smiles): Great! You guys are on in thirty minutes. See you later on! As Axle Rose walks away, Otto and the band nervously wait for their 'curtain call' in the back of the stage. Soon, time passes and they are introduced. As the five Rovers take the stage, the crowd cheers. They take their places and begin to sing. SAMANTHA (singing): Human life can get make you frown... The stress can really get you down.... But's here's one way to wear a smile ... ALL TOGETHER : DOGSTYLE!! SAMANTHA (singing): That's the way to live life ALL TOGETHER: DOGSTYLE!!! SAMANTHA (singing): Fur and collars, no strife ALL TOGETHER: DOGSTYLE!!! SAMANTHA (singing): Bury bones, diggin' trash ALL TOGETHER: DOGSTYLE!!! SAMANTHA (singing): That's the way that we make cash! ALL TOGETHER: DOGSTYLE!!!! SAMANTHA (singing): Gotta take a weekly bath We'll walk HUMANS for a laugh Alpo, kibble in a pile ALL TOGETHER DOGSTYLE!!!! SAMANTHA (singing): Sniff butts, then strut ALL TOGETHER: DOGSTYLE!!!! SAMANTHA (singing): Fleas and ticks, make you sick ALL TOGETHER DOGSTYLE!!!!! SAMANTHA (singing): Chew toys, paper boys ALL TOGETHER DOGSTYLE!!!!! SAMANTHA (singing): LET'S ALL MAKE SOME NOISE!!! ALL TOGETHER DOGSTYLE!!!!! As the group continues to sing, Otto uses his sensors to scan the entire building and each individual in the audience for weapons. The groups sings seven more songs, during this time Otto completes his scan. The crowd has really warmed up to 'Dogstyle', they receive a standing obation as they leave the stage. BOOMERANG (excited); Do you guys hear that? They love us! ALICE (looks back into the crowd): YEAH! We're a big hit! NO36s (happy): WOW! What a night! OTTO (sternly): Let us not forget our true purpose for being here. SAMANTHA (nodding): Otto's right! Did you scan the audience? OTTO (nods): Yes, I scanned the audience and detected no weapons. AXEL (in costume): Good job, guys! Now stay here and watch us perform! The other members of Guns 'N Roses walk on out to the stage to the thunderous applause of the audience. Otto, Boomerang, No36s, Alice and Samantha watch as the group begins to sing their first song. Several men dressed in a 'staff' t-shirts are out on the stage adjusting the mikes, stagelights and wiring. OTTO (shocked): The staff! I'm detecting small firearms on each on of them! BOOMERANG (angry): We gotta stop them! NO36s (growls): Let's go! ALICE (growls): Let's tear'm up! The first staff member pulls out his gun, Otto uses his super speed to stand in front of Axle and activate his force field, the shots bounce off the force field. Otto then snatches the guns from the startled attacker. Boomerang, No36s and Alice each punch staff members before they can reach for their guns, one last one points her gun at Axle, Samantha pounces on her and fights like a dog. The startled audience think it's all part of the show and cheer loudly as Samantha bites and snaps at the would be attacker. The other Rovers, having knocked out all the other 'staff' members, can only stand and watch. BOOMERANG (shouting); GO SAM!! NO36s (shouting): Tear'm up! ALICE (shouting): Bite her ears off! OTTO (shouting): SAMANTHA!! THAT'S ENOUGH!!! Otto grabs his wife by the arms, she is still growling and barking at the attacker. The crowd breaks out into thunderous applause. Samantha finally calms down, and is now very embarrassed. SAMANTHA (sadly): That wasn't very ladylike, was it, Otto? OTTO (sternly): Crude, but effective. Axle Rose takes the mike and addresses the crowd. AXLE (into mike): Ladies and gentlemen! This was not staged. These thugs really meant to kill us. (turns to the Rovers): We owe our lives to these Road Rovers! (motions) C'mon out! The crowd goes wild as Otto, Samantha, No36s, Boomerang and Alice return to the stage. AXLE (into mike): I just had a GREAT idea! Let's ALL do a few songs TOGETHER, would all of you like that? More cheers and shouting from the crowd, all five Rovers nod and take their places with the other members of Guns and Roses. Samantha and Axle each take a mike and sing lead. The audience truly loves them! The scene shifts to Road Rover Mission Control, the next morning. The Master addresses the Rovers. MASTER (smiles): Road Rovers, you are all good, good dogs! You not only succeeded in saving lifes, you also made headlines for your singing as well! Three recording companies have called and want the five of you to cut a CD with them! BOOMERANG (shocked); WOW!! ALICE (happy): Alright! No36s (shouting): YES!!! OTTO (sternly): It would appear that our mission was highly successful SAMANTHA (happy): I can't believe it! People really want to hear us sing? MASTER (nods): That's right, Sam! Your father Ben Maddog is already looking over several proposed contracts. I have no problems with this as long as it doesn't interfere with your Road Rover duties. SAMANTHA (hugs Otto): WOW! Isn't this great? OTTO (smiles): I must admit, I am feeling a bit of excitement and joy at this moment! BLITZ (angry): HEY! I want to be in your band! Listen to ME sing! Blitz starts singing 'Swanee River', it's so bad the other Rovers in the room howl in misery. BLITZ (smiles): Well, what did you tink of that? NO36s (laughing): Blitz, your voice is a treasure! BLITZ (happy): Really? BOOMERANG (shouts): Yeah, why don't you go BURY it? The other Rovers laugh as Blitz starts fuming. BLITZ (growls): HEY! I vud make a good backup singer! ALICE (laughs): That's right! When YOU sing, everybody wants to 'backup'! More laughter as Blitz is furious. BLITZ (furious): What do dose Rovers got that I haven't got? OTTO (smiles): Talent? BLITZ (roars): SHUT UP, ANDROID BOY!! Samantha gets angry and decks Blitz with one punch. SAMANTHA (distressed): OH DEAR! Mr Blitz, sir, are you alright? BLITZ (wobbly): I hear bells! (falls over) BOOMERANG (shouts): We're dogs with a mission! We're ROAD ROVERS!!! All of the Rovers howl in unison. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
