As Alexis is walking with Dodger through the city one day the two soon spot an orange cat giving a hot dog guy trouble.

"Well well. Looks like Louie's got a visitor. Could be time for the Dodge to turn this into a total cat-astrophe." Dodger says as the cat runs into an alley way.

"Yeah.. for that poor cat." Alexis says as she and Dodger go down the alley.

"Ooh you sure picked the wrong guy to get hot dogs from kid." Dodger says as she cat sees him and Alexis.

"Get away from me!" The cat says in alarm as he steps onto a trash can lid.

"Whoa! Chill out man.

"Relax sweetie. We don't eat cats. It's too much fur." Alexis says.

"We've been watching you and I think you're in serious need of some professional guidance. Now what do ya say we team up and change old Louie's mind... about sharing those hot dogs?" Dodger says as he goes over to the cat.

"I'm not goin' back there again." The cat says discouraged.

"It'll be fine. You'll do great." Alexis says reassuringly.

"She's right. It'd be a snap kid. I'm an expert at these things. All you gotta do is learn some moves." Dodger says as the group goes to the corner.

"Moves?" The cat asks.

"You know. Tempo. A rhythm. This city's got a beat. You gotta hook into it. And once you got the beat you can do anything." Alexis says.

"I can?" The cat asks as he looks at Alexis.

"Absitively posolutely. The man you see before you is affectionately known as Old Louie. A well-known enemy of the four-legged world. Our mission, cat is to liberate those all-beef Kosher Franks and hightail it outta here. Startin' to feel that rhythm?" Dodger asks.

"Well uh... Yeah! Yeah! I do feel it! When are we gonna get those hot dogs?" The cat asks as a jackhammer pounds the pavement nearby.

"Right... now." Dodger says as he barks scaring the cat as it then distracts Louie long enough for Alexis and Dodger to grab the hotdogs and run off.

"That was a dirty trick Dodger." Alexis says as she looks at Dodger.

"Worked didn't it?" Dodger asks unworriedly.

"Yeah." Alexis says as she sees the cat in a large pipe in a construction area.

"Hey you really got that rhythm kid." Dodger says as the kid comes out from his hiding spot.

"Uh... yeah? We were good huh? So when are we gonna eat?" The cat asks.

"We?" Alexis asks as she looks at the cat.

"Yeah. I'm starvin'." The cat says happily.

"Listen kid. I hate to break it to ya, but the dynamic duo is now the dynamic uno." Dodger says.

"What do ya mean?" The cat asks.

"What he means is our partnership is herewith dissolved." Alexis says as she and Dodger get on a pipe being lifted up by straps.

" ! Wait. You're not being fair!" The cat shouts angrily.

"Fares are for tourists kid. Consider it a free lesson in street savoir faire... from New York's coolest quadruped. Check ya later." Dodger says unworriedly.

"Bye kid!" Alexis says as she and Dodger get moving.

"Hey wait! I helped you get those! Half of those are mine!" The cat shouts as he chases after Alexis and Dodger.

"Ya want 'em? Come and get 'em. But I'm warnin' ya kid." Dodger says as he and Alexis howl.

*Song being placed is Why Should I Worry by Oliver and Company*

Dodger And Alexis Singing

One minute I'm in Central Park
Then, I'm down on Delancey Street
Said, from the Bow'ry to St Mark's
There's a syncopated beat. Right

I said, Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetwise
I can improvise
I said, Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetsmart
I've got New York City heart

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoir faire

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just be-bopulation
And I got street savoir faire

The rhythm of the city
But once you get it down
Said, then you can own this town
You can wear the crown

Why should I worry? Tell me
Why should I care?
I Said, I may not have a dime. Oh
But I got street savoir faire

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just doo-bopulation
And I got street savoir faire

Female Dogs Singing

Ev'rything goes
Ev'rything fits

Dodger Singing

They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz

Alexis And Dodger Singing

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
And even when I cross that line
I got street savoir faire

I said, Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I said, Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

*Song over*

"Looks like we lost him." Alexis says a she and Dodger are walking down the sidewalk.

"Of course we lost him. Now come on. Let's get back to the gang." Dodger says as he and Alexis take off running.
