"Golly, Nose Marie," says Brighteyes. "That was awfully mean."
"She's right," adds Violet. "A Pound Puppy really oughtn't to act this way."
"Honestly, he really didn't mean any harm," Barkerville adds. "He's never had a home or family, so no one's ever cared enough to teach him any manners."
"But, Buster wasn't the one who smashed up the Belvershires' mansion." says Whopper, who's sitting next to Cooler.
"But if he didn't, then who did?" Cooler inquires.
"A bunch of mean cats did!"
"Sure, Whopper, sure, the 'monster kitties with the fifteen-foot claws,' right?"
"No, it was Catgut and his pals, and Flack and Tubbs were there, too; they probably set the whole thing up."
"You saw Catgut and his pals at the mansion, as well as Flack and Tubbs? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US SOONER?"
"BECAUSE NO ONE EVER BELIEVES ME!"
"So, Buster didn't do it after all." says Barkerville.
"But, how-w-w-w will we prove it?" Howler howls.
"Well, just leave that to your old pal, Cooler. Pound Puppies, let's get pounding!" All of them, save for Nose Marie, then hurry off.
"Poor Buster, ah was so cruel to him," Nose Marie says sadly. "Ah needs ta find him an' tell him ah'm sorry an' that ah was wrong."
Katrina's car is parked outside the front gate of the Belvershires' mansion; Tubbs hauls Katrina's condo display out of the trunk. "Lift wit' ya's back, not ya's legs!" Flack orders him.
"Duh, but Flack, I'm only liftin' with my hands." Tubbs replies, as he slowly ambles toward the door.
"Hurry up, Tubbs! We don't want to keep the Belvershires waiting." Katrina, who's toting Catgut in her arms, calls as she and the rest of her crew enter the mansion.
"I'm doin' da best I can here. Dis thing mus' weigh a ton or sumthin'."
"Look who's talkin'." Flack mumbles under his breath.
(The display was heavy for good reason; unbeknownst to any of them, Holly and the Pound Puppies were hiding inside of it. "I hope this plan works, Cooler." Holly whispers.)
"Qfcgvgnmjknhgbv, vgvbnjgtvf, ewbgvhbn, by jove." Lord Belvershire says to Katrina the instant she comes inside. Brattina, Flack and Tubbs, the latter of whom is still carrying the display, follow close behind her.
"Lord and Lady Belvershire, I'm honored." Katrina waves her arms out behind her, apparently forgetting that she was carrying Catgut, and accidentally drops him on Brattina, causing her to lose her balance.
"Whoooa, Mommie!" Brattina wails as she staggers backwards into a surprised Flack, who stumbles backwards into Tubbs, who topples over, dropping the display with a resounding SMASH, depositing Holly and the dogs behind the couch in the process.
"OH, TUBBS, YOU CLUMSY OX!…I, uhm, I, ah, mean, are you alright, dear?" Katrina says.
"Oogh, I think so." the fat dognapper responds dazedly, as he slowly climbs to his feet. Boy, dat's a relief, he thinks. I thought fer a second she wuz gonna be mad or somethin'.
"Rome prob'ly fell 'cuz ya dropped it, ya klutz." Flack snaps.
While no one is looking, Howler sneaks behind the TV set, and Cooler tiptoes into the security room. "Ehm, perhaps we should begin, Mrs. Stoneheart(snuf)."
"Oh, by all means. Let's talk turkey. Or, better yet, let's talk money. Your money!"
"By jove, rfvhbnmk, tgbhjnkj!"
"Uhm, does that mean he has his checkbook this time?"
"Oh, yes(snuf), my husband is ready to make a sizeable investment(snuf)."
"How delightful!"
While in the security room, Cooler walks over to a shelf full of security DVDs, he looks the shelf over and picks out one with the word "LIBRARY" on its case. He then sneaks over to the doorway, checks to see if the coast is clear, then passes the DVD to Whopper, who's hiding behind the couch. Whopper then tosses it over to the TV set; as if on cue, a mechanical hand pops out of Howler's hat and grabs it. Howler then tiptoes over to Katrina's purse and swaps the security DVD with hers. "Now that's using your head!" Cooler says.
"Not bad." Barkerville replies.
"Not good." Scrounger says cynically.
