[The next evening, a chilly wind picking at the pups' fur. A group of pupsies stand around a trash can, where Romeo is digging through its contents.]
HENRY (Yawning)
Find any food yet, Romeo?
ROMEO
No, [he jumped up to look at everyone.] Just human trash
BUTTONS
You'se can't call it human trash, unless it can be used by us. One human's trash is another dog's treasure.
ROMEO (Looking back in the trash. Wagging his tail)
Hey, I found some human food!
(Romeo digs and pulls something out of the trash can, he jumps out; holding a chunk of bread.)
ELMER (Tilting his head)
What is that?
HENRY (Pawing at his nose)
Smells weird.
ROMEO
Dunno what it is, but it sure doesn't smell that bad.
FINCH
Well, come on! We gotta bring it back to the other pups.
[The pups run back to the heart of the alleyway, where the rest are cleaning their old wounds and trying to get over the new ones.]
ELMER
We got food!
ROMEO (Dropping the bread)
It ain't any meat, but at least it ain't nothing.
[The pupsies evenly split the bread, everyone having just a little piece. Finch tries to feed his stuffed animal some. They all gather around and enjoy this little meal.]
RACE (Licking his lips)
Hey, has anyone seen Davey or Les?
JOJO
Last I saw of them was last night.
ALBERT (Nodding his head)
Yeah, they'se disappeared.
FINCH
Well what are we gonna do without them? We got no leader now.
[The pups all look at each other in silence, unsure what to do.]
RACE (Chewing on his stick)
We'll figure something out, there's no way we can quit now when we're so close. We can win the strike without Jack, we don't need him. For now... we just rest.
[The pups continue their meal, mumbling to others and refreshing themselves with water.]
KATHERINE (Running in)
Hey pups!
(All heads turn to Katherine as she runs in, panting.)
MUSH
How did you even get here?
KATHERINE
Jack told me where you all were!
RACE (Standing up, grabbing the stick.)
Oh, so you're still talking to Jack?
KATHERINE
