NO ONES POV

It was the next day and they were in Fagin's motor scooter 🛵 with a basket to hold the dogs as they were driving around the city.

"This is the big one" Fagin says "we've got 2 days to do or die" he honks his horn "Dodger, you keep an eye on the new kids. Show them the ropes" Dodger gives Oliver a A Noogie. "I don't wanna put any undue pressure on you, but, as you march off to do your duty, I want you to keep one thing in mind" he says as he drives into an alleyway and he then crashes as he tries to stop "dead men do not buy dog food" they look at him "so big smiles, and get out there and fetch!" He then releases them and they jump out and he drives away.

"All right, if Mr. Sykes don't see some cold, hard cash soon, we are Doberman chow" Dodger says "come on"

They then leave the ally way and start walking the sidewalk.

"So where do we start?" Verago asks.

"We'll start on Columbus Avenue" Dodger says.

"What kind of work do we do, anyway?" Oliver asks.

"Investment banking, man" Tito says and grabs a green apple and throws it to Francis and he eats it "didn't you read about us in the Wall Street Journal?"

"Really?" Oliver asks.

"Yes. Captains of industry" Francis says.

"I don't think that's true" Verago says in his mind.

"Gosh! Can we be one too?" Oliver asks.

"Hey, when you got your pals, you got all you need" Dodger says.

"Ok, Dodge" they said.

Rita then stops Oliver and Verago.

"We gotta clean you 2 children up, and give you 2 some on the job training" Rita says. She then sings.

Ooh, yeah
Now listen up
You got a lot to learn

She then stops them again as a bakery truck passes by.

And if you don't learn you don't eat

A loaf of bread then falls out of the truck and they catch it and throws it to Tito and that sends him flying a few inches.

They then cross the street.

But if you're tough and always use your head
You'll be right at home on the street
When you got talent everything is free

She looks at them.

Watch how we do things ooh, I guarantee

They then jump into the street and the cars stop 🛑 on the spot. While Dodger and Oliver and Verago stay at the sidewalk.

They then sing this part with her.

You're gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive

Oliver then goes into the street crosses it, but then the cars took off again and he starts running around to above them.

If you do just as you're told
These are streets of gold

Oliver then gets rescued by Dodger and Verago as they run across the street with running cars going.

Every boulevard is a miracle mile
You'll take the town and you'll take it with style

Just then another dog shows up and tries to case after Oliver, but Verago does a headbutt and then the dog run after Oliver, but the group growls and he runs away scared.
