Animaniacs belongs to Warner Bros.
"What's taking Wakko so long to come back?" Dot wondered.
Yakko looked up from the Variety magazine he was reading. "Beats me."
He went back to the magazine, but became aware that Dot's eyes were still on him. "Yes?"
"I want a bath."
"Okay. We have a bathtub."
Dot still didn't move. She put on what she considered her cutest smile.
"Oh, I get it. You want me to run it for you."
"Pwease?"
"Fine."
Dot always took a long time to bathe; it was enough time for Yakko to try his hand at making those egg noodles Dr. Scratchansniff had once given him and his siblings one night when they'd been well-behaved, at least in comparison to how the Warners usually acted.
"They look like maggots," Dot said bluntly.
"Thank you for the compliment," Yakko replied sarcastically.
"Wakko should be here by now," Dot said, sounding a little anxious. "He never misses a meal."
"Since when do you worry so much about Wakko? You're always complaining about his burping, or chasing girls, or eating your stuff, or having The Andy Griffith Show turned up too loud, or-"
"ENOUGH! It's too quiet around here without Wakko! I miss him! And...and I am a little worried about him." She ran into the bedroom and came back with Wakko's gag bag. "He didn't even take his gag bag when he left with Scratchy!"
Now Yakko was looking worried, too. "Fear not, sister-sibling, we'll find Wakko." He began searching the gag bag for something useful.
"Wow, Wakko should really clean up in here...so that's where my M&Ms went!...Aha!"
Yakko pulled out a bloodhound, and Dot held up one of Wakko's turtlenecks.
"Pick up the scent, boy!" Yakko told the dog. "Come on!"
The hound barked, ran down the water tower's ladder with Yakko and Dot hanging onto the leash, all around the movie lot, and finally ended up...back in the water tower.
"It's that stupid joke from Hercule Yakko again!" Dot groaned, smacking her forehead.
"Wait!" Yakko's ears perked up. "Hear that!"
"HELP!" screamed the voice of Dr. Scratchansniff. "GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
Yakko picked up the gag bag. "C'mon, Dot!"
Dr. Scratchansniff was curled up in a fetal position on the elevator floor, as Wakko and those bungling maintenance men sang "Pop Goes the Weasel". Suddenly, the elevator doors vanished, revealing a smiling Yakko and Dot.
Wakko jumped for joy when he saw his brother and sister. "How'd you do that?"
Yakko held up a brush, and Dot held up a bucket. "The Acme Door-Vanisher in your gag bag," Yakko explained proudly.
"Is there anything you want to say?" Dot asked Wakko.
"Yeah-I HAVE TO POTTY!"
As Wakko ran off in the direction of the water tower, Dr. Scratchansniff threw himself at the other Warners' feet. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"That's more like it," Dot said sweetly.
"I could kiss the both of you!" the psychiatrist went on.
Yakko took a step back. "Please don't."
