[The pups climb underneath a big willow tree called Jacobi's Tree; Panting, tired, and excited. They sit down at little tables, some pups on them. Branches with little lights cover the opening, leaving only soft sunlight coming through.]
JACOBI (Hopping to the pups: holding a tray with little bowls and handing them out)
And a bowl of water for you. And one for you. And you and you and...
JACOBI
You. And uhum. [Looks at the last bowls on the tray.] Who's the big spender that ordered the iced water?
ALBERT (Waving his paw; sitting on a table)
Over here.
JACOBI
That'll be two dentals.
ALBERT
Ah, two dentals for a bowl of iced water? Just gimme lukewarm water.
JACOBI
How did I ever see that coming? [He hands Albert a bowl of water he had ready.]
DAVID (Confidently)
I'd say we launched our strike in a most auspicious manner!
[The pupsies look at Davey confused.]
MUSH (Confused)
.... I don't know about that. But we sure scared the bejeebers outta Weasel!
PUPSIES
Yeah!
STUMPY (Laughing)
And did you see the Delanceys? They didn't know which way was up.
JACK (Going up on a table)
Hey, hey, hey. So what's next?
DAVID
Now you have to spread the word. Let the rest of the city's pupsies know about the strike.
JACK
Hey, you heard the pup. Let's split up. Let's spread the word!
MUSH (Standing up from his spot)
I'll take Hamlem!
RACETRACK (Holding his stick higher in the air)
I got Midtown!
JO-JO (Wagging his tail)
I got the Bronx!
BUTTONS (Almost knocking her bowl over)
And I got the Bowery!
JACK (Looking at Specs)
Specs, you take Queens.
SPECS
Ruff!
JACK (Looking at Tommy Pup)
Tommy Pup, take the East Side.
[Tommy Pup nods his head.]
JACK
And who wants Barklyn? [All the pups duck their heads, even those who already have assignments.] Oh. Come on. Barklyn. Spot Chewlon's turf. Finch! You telling me you're scared of Barklyn?
FINCH (Slowly looking back at Jack)
I ain't scared of no turf!
[He brings his stuffed animal closer.]
