The Dog Mannequin/Transcript

(The movie begins with overhead shots of the city of Barvia Hills.)

Narrator: This is Barvia Hills, Arizona. A place where people have good times and have a good business.

(We cut to Glapper Street, where some people are out walking their dogs or doing some errands. The camera moves to the right.)

Narrator: Some may come out for walking their dogs or might do an errand. When some people need some new clothes for themselves or their dogs there's only one place for them to go.

(The camera stops at a clothing store.)

Narrator: This is Tor's Clothing Place, where everyone can buy shirts, pants, and pretty much anything.

(We cut to a man with an old German Shepherd by his side, putting some clothes on a rack.)

Narrator: That's Tor J. Chandler and his dog, Franken. They take care of the store very well like all the employees.

Tor: "Placed a folded shirt on Franken's back" Make sure this shirt is in the right place, Franken.

Franken: "Nods and walked over to some shelves"

(Nearby the shelves, there's one of many stands in the store, which displayed dog mannequins on metal stands.)

Narrator: But, however, this store has a secret that no one knows about.

(One of the dog mannequins turned its head as he watched Franken putting the shirt away.)

Narrator: My name is Endrae and I'm a living dog mannequin.

(Endrae watches each employee do different tasks.)

Narrator: To be honest, I'm not the only one alive. My brother, my mother, and all the other dog mannequins in Tor's Clothing Place are alive. Nether Tor or the employees know about this because the dog mannequins were very hesitant about people.

(Then Endrae turned his head to the window and sees people walking by.)

Narrator: But for me, that's something completely different.

Endrae: "Sighs"

(Around 5 o'clock, the employees had already left and Tor and Franken were outside the store. Tor had already turned off the lights.)

Tor: "Takes a key out of his pocket" Alright, Franken! Time to close up shop. "Locks the door" I wonder what's for dinner tonight.

(As Tor walked away, Franken looked at the dog mannequins in the store.)

Franken: I hope they'll be fine. "Runs toward Tor"

(When Tor and Franken were gone, a dog mannequin near the window start to move as she'd realized that no one's around.)

Dog Mannequin: "Gets off the stand and calls out" Okay, everybody! The coast is clear!

(Just then, all the dog mannequins started moving as they got off the stands and stood on all fours, like regular dogs.)

(The dog mannequins went around the store chatting and doing fun activities.)

(Endrae's mother, Diana, is looking for Endrae and she had spotted Norman, Endrae's brother.)

Diana: "Walked up to Norman" Norman, have you seen your brother?

Norman: Oh, I think he's over there. "Points toward the front window"

(Diana and Norman went to the front stand, where Endrae is sitting down with his head on the stand, watching the outside world.)

Diana: Endrae, what are you doing?

Endrae: Just watching the big world outside. "Sighs" It looks wonderful.

Diana: I know it does, but you know that you can't go out there, Endrae.

Endrae: "Turned to his mother and brother" And why not, Mom?

Diana: Because the outside world might be dangerous and there might be some unfriendly people out there.

Norman: Yeah, and we are safe and sound here in Tor's Clothing Place.

Endrae: I know, but it's so boring and I'm getting tired of being in here every day.

Diana: Well, I'm afraid that you're gonna have to live it.

Norman: Come on, Endrae. Our Mom wanted you to live an indoor life.

(After Diana and Norman had walked away, Endrae turned his head back to the window and sigh.)

Narrator: See what I mean? I don't like spending my time indoors and I just want to step outside and see the world. But my mother won't let me and it makes me feel sad. Sometimes, I'd hoped that my wish will come true.

(The scene changes to Saturday and some people are out for a walk.)

(At Tor's Clothing Place, the store is closed the dog mannequins are sleeping. Except, for Endrae.)

(Endrae had covered his ears and he doesn't like the sound of Norman snoring.)

Endrae: "Growls" I really need that to stop.

(When Endrae turned his head to the window, seeing all the people walking by.)

(Just then, Endrae had an idea: He'll sneak out of the store and see the world.)

Endrae: "Looks down at the metal stand he's on" Hmm.

(He wiggled the stand and fell down to the floor.)

Endrae: Ugh! "Looks up and sees his mother and Norman still sleeping" Wow, everyone is a good sleeper.

(Endrae pulled the metal stand off of himself and placed it back on the stand.)

Endrae: Now, I need to make sure that people won't find out that I'm a dog mannequin. But how? "Thinks for a bit and gasps" I know.

(When Endrae put his front paws on a wall, he'd slowly stood up on two legs with perfect balance.)

(Then, he took baby steps and soon enough Endrae started walking at a regular pace on two legs.)

Endrae: Ha! "Covered his mouth to make sure that no one heard him" Phew.

(Endrae quietly tip toed over to the backdoor, which he'd found out that it's unlocked.)

(He opened the door slowly and looked back at the other dog mannequins.)

Endrae: "Sigh" There's no turning back now.

(Endrae went through the door and closed it to cover his tracks.)

(The camera cuts to outside the alley, where Endrae quickly ran out and hid behind a trashcan across the street.)

(He pokes his head and was amazed by how the outside world looked.)

Endrae: Whoa. "Hears something" Huh?

(Endrae turned to see a garbage truck coming.)

Endrae: Uh, oh! "Quickly ran into a nearby alleyway and stopped" Phew! That was close.

(Suddenly, a Dalmatian had jumped out and growled at Endrae.)

Dalmatian: Intruder! "Growls"

Endrae: Wha-Wait, a minute. I was only-

Dalmatian: "Barks" I don't want anyone in my territory and that means you!

(The Dalmatian jumped on Endrae, tackling him to the ground. But then Endrae's left arm had popped off.)

(Endrae and the Dalmatian noticed this.)

Endrae: Aw, man! "Grabs his arm"

(The Dalmatian was surprised by this as Endrae put his arm back on.)

Dalmatian: Wait, a second. You're not a person in a dog suite, but a-

Endrae: A dog mannequin? Well, yes I am. But don't tell anyone.

Dalmatian: But, what- How- I- I am really confused right now!

Endrae: Let me tell you. "Sits down on an old crate" I'm from a clothing store called Tor's Clothing Place, a store where people and dogs can get clothes. There are dog mannequins who only move whenever the store closes and I happened to be one of them. But I'm kinda tired of staying indoors, so I've decided to come out and see the world.

Dalmatian: Oh, of course. I've never seen a living dog mannequin before.

Endrae: I'm sure nobody has. I'm Endrae. "Holds out his paw"

Gordon: Name's Gordon. "Shook Endrae's paw" I better take you back to my hideout. I have some good food.

Endrae: I've never ate something before, so I guess I'll come with you and is it okay if you can show me the world tomorrow?

Gordon: Okay. Let's go!

(Endrae then followed Gordon through the alleyways to his hideout.)

(We cut back to Tor's Clothing Place, where Norman is starting to wake up.)

Norman: "Yawns" Man, what a rest. "Gets off the metal stand and jumps down" Now, I think we better take a look at the new clothes. Right, Endr-

(When Norman turned to the stand where Endrae was, he'd realized that Endrae was not there.)

Norman: Where did he go? "Looks around" Endrae!

(His loud voice had woke up the other dog mannequins, including Diana.)

Dog Mannequin 1: Huh? What?

Dog Mannequin 2: What's going on?

Diana: Norman, what's with the shouting?

Norman: Mom, we have a problem.

Diana: "Confused" Problem?

Norman: Endrae's gone! "Points his paw at Endrae's stand"

(All the dog mannequins were shocked at the empty stand and they searched the store for Endrae. But they couldn't find him.)

Dog Mannequin 3: Endrae couldn't just walked outside. Could he?

(Then, Diana noticed some paw prints on the floor and realized that they are Endrae's prints.)

(She followed the prints and stopped at the backdoor. Diana then found out that Endrae had went outside.)

Diana: It looks like he'd did!

(All the dog mannequins came to where Diana is and were in a panic over what Endrae had done.)

(Norman couldn't bear to see his mother and the other dog mannequins panicking. So, he came to a decision.)

Norman: I'm going out to find Endrae.

(The other dog mannequins were shocked by this.)

Diana: You are?! But what would happen if-

Norman: Mom, I'm afraid there's no other choice we have at the moment. I have to go out into the outside world to find Endrae and bring him back.

(Diana felt afraid to send Norman out into world, but she knew that it's the only way to have Endrae back.)

Diana: "Sighs" Alright, Norman. You can go find your brother, but please be careful out there.

Norman: Thanks, Mom, and I promise that'll not let you down.

(Diana opened the door and Norman walked out, thinking that walking like a regular dog won't make people suspicious of him.)

(Norman took one last look of Diana and the other dog mannequins before walking away.)

Diana: Please, be okay, Endrae. "Closed the door"

(Cut to Gordon's hideout, which is a big crate. It is getting dark and Endrae and Gordon were finishing up their dinner.)

Endrae: "Puts his metal try down" Wow, I'd never thought that's food taste like.

Gordon: That's probably because you've never ate anything your whole life.

Endrae: "Thinks a bit" Oh, your right. I've never thought about that.

Gordon: Yeah.

Endrae: So, how did you became a stray, Gordon? I mean do you had a family?

Gordon: Uh... "Has a flashback about his past" I don't talk about much.

Endrae: Oh, okay. "Looks up at the sky" We better get to sleep.

Gordon: "Yawns" Yeah, better hit the hay. "Stretched and laid down" Tomorrow, I'll show you around the city.

(When Gordon went to sleep, Endrae laid his head on Gordon's belly and went to sleep.)

(But unknown to them, Norman was walking pass the alleyway, still looking for Endrae.)

Norman: "Whispers" Endrae, where are you? "Continues walking"

(The scene changes to the next day.)

(Endrae follows Gordon around Barvia Hill as he shows him around.)

Endrae: "Excited" Oh, I can't wait to see what the city has!

Gordon: Believe me, Endrae. You're really gonna love Barvia Hills.

(First, they went by a school playground, where some children waved at them.)

(Next, Endrae and Gordon went to see a hat sale on Yale Way, where they tried on some hats, which made some people laugh.)

(Then, they'd hot dogs at a hot dog stand and Endrae thinks it taste delicious.)

(Last, Gordon walked Endrae through the park and Endrae loved seeing all the nice scenery. As they walk, Endrae and Gordon were greeted by different people who think Endrae is a young man in a dog suite.)

(Cut to Endrae sitting on a bench with Gordon next to him.)

Endrae: How about when we made people laugh with those hats?

Gordon: Oh, yeah! That was hysterical! "Laughs" They've laughed their heads off!

Endrae: Yeah, that was classic!

Voice: Gordon! Gordon!

(A female bird named Dillon came flying by and landed on the rim of a bird bath next to the bench.)

Gordon: Ah! My dear bird friend Dillon. What's up?

Dillon: Not good. I'd just noticed your used-to-be-friends are threatening two children!

Endrae: Stray dogs threatening two children? How's that possible?

Gordon: They're mean dogs, Endrae. They think that they'll do whatever they want. But we better take care of this. "Turns to Dillon" Thanks, Dillon.

(Gordon and Endrae got up and ran to the south entrance, where they see a Rottweiler, a Belgian Malinois, and an Irish Wolfhound growling at a boy and a girl.)

Gordon: "Sigh" I can't believe that they do this everytime they're in the park.

(The two then jumped in between the dogs and the children, surprising them.)

Rottweiler: Ah. Gordon, I thought I'd told you to stay out of our way.

Gordon: You guys never know when to quit!

Irish Wolfhound: We do what we like!

Belgian Malinois: Yeah!

Gordon: You three better back off or my friend here will tear you to bits.

Endrae: "Growls in the Rottweiler's face"

Rottweiler: "Nervous" Uh, you think that would stop us?

Endrae: Maybe not, but he might. "Points his paw"

(The three dogs turned to see a man holding a net and he's looking for them.)

Rottweiler: Uh, oh! Dogs, retreat!

(They quickly ran away. The man saw the three dogs and ran after them.)

Gordon: "Laughs" Good one, Endrae! That showed them!

Endrae: Thanks.

(Endrae and Gordon turned to the two children, who were trembling with fear.)

Endrae: "Came up to them" Are you two okay?

Boy: N-n-n-no, we-were n-not.

Girl: Th-th-th-those dogs were s-s-s-s-s-scary.

Endrae: Don't worry. Those scary dogs aren't gonna bother you again.

(Endrae pointed to the man with the Rottweiler, the Belgian Malinois, and the Irish Wolfhound in his net and he's walking to a white van.)

(The children were relieved by this.)

Girl: "Sigh and stood up" Oh, thank you. "Shook Endrae's paw" Thank you so much!

Boy: "Got up and patted Gordon" And thank you, little dog!

Endrae: No, problem. I'm sure Gordon would thank you too.

Girl: "Confused" Gordon?

Endrae: That's the dog's name. He told me. I'm Endrae.

Boy: Well then, I'm Arnold and this is my sister Beth.

Beth: Hi. "Examines Endrae" But, what are you?

Endrae: Well, I'm a-

Arnold: Wait, wait. Let me guess. Um... A person in a dog suite?

Endrae: No, I'm actually a dog mannequin. "Taps his plastic chest" See?

(Arnold and Beth were surprised by Endrae's answer.)

Beth: You're an actual living, talking dog mannequin?

Endrae: Yes, but don't tell anyone.

Arnold: Okay, uh... Would you and your friend like to... Spend some time with us at our hideout?

(Gordon whispered some things to Endrae and Endrae came to a decision.)

Endrae: Okay, we'll spend some with you.

Beth: Alright then. Let's go!

(So, they went to Beth and Arnold's hideout with Arnold and Beth leading the way.)

Gordon: "Whispers" Endrae, do you think that their parents will be okay with us?

Endrae: "Whispers" Maybe.

Beth: What was that?

Endrae: Oh, uh, Gordon wondered if your parents are gonna be okay with the both of us hanging out with you.

(Arnold and Beth then looked at each other with nervous looks.)

Arnold: Um, about that...

Beth: Our parents are uh... Not around anymore

Endrae: "Surprised" Oh. Well, I know how you two feel.

(So, Endrae told Beth and Arnold how he had lost his father a few years back.)

Arnold: "Shedding tears" Wow, Endrae, that's a really sad story.

Beth: Yeah. "Sniffs" I felt so sorry for you.

Endrae: I know, but I'm sure my brother and my mother miss him too.

Gordon: "Sniffs and wiped his tears"

(Eventually, the four had arrived at an abandoned food shop.)

Arnold: Here we are!

(Endrae and Gordon looked confused.)
