Oh, I don’t know.
164
00:08:57,337 --> 00:09:00,040

on this story would be

00:09:00,073 --> 00:09:02,743
to get a picture of Uncle Shaggy
without his makeup.
166
00:09:02,776 --> 00:09:04,811

00:09:14,187 --> 00:09:16,957
a little camera shy
especially around reporters.
173
00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:19,893
Well, true geniuses often are.
174
00:09:21,327 --> 00:09:24,931
If only there was someone
who wasn’t a reporter.
175
00:09:24,965 --> 00:09:27,601
Someone who’s a big fan of his.
176
00:09:27,634 --> 00:09:28,869
Someone who could get a picture
177
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:30,136
of Uncle Shaggy
without his makeup.
178
00:09:30,170 --> 00:09:32,105
Ooh, what a story
that would be.
179
00:09:35,108 --> 00:09:38,244
Right up there with the tearing
down of the Berlin Wall.
180
00:09:39,946 --> 00:09:42,616
Well, I guess we’ll just have to
do without a picture. Too bad.
181
00:09:42,649 --> 00:09:47,153
Wait a minute, are you saying
that if you were to hang around
182
00:09:47,187 --> 00:09:49,155
Uncle Shaggy after the
interview, distract him
183
00:09:49,189 --> 00:09:51,658
with some idle fan chatter,
and then at the right moment...
184
00:09:51,692 --> 00:09:52,993
And this is the important part,
Uncle Shaggy
185
00:09:53,026 --> 00:09:54,260
must not know
what you are doing.
186
00:09:54,294 --> 00:09:57,130
...you could snap the picture?
Is that what you’re saying?
187
00:10:00,701 --> 00:10:02,302
I must have blacked out.
188
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:09,743
I‐I didn’t hear me say that.
189
00:10:09,776 --> 00:10:12,613
Well, Balki,
that is a great idea.
190
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:14,915
Well, thank you very much.
191
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:18,151
I‐I...
I‐I do try.
192
00:10:18,184 --> 00:10:21,287
[chuckles]
Too bad it wouldn’t work.
193
00:10:21,321 --> 00:10:23,289
‐Why? Why not?
‐Well, it just wouldn’t work.
194
00:10:23,323 --> 00:10:26,727
But‐but you just said
it was a great idea.
195
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,262
You have plenty of great ideas
that don’t work.
196
00:10:29,295 --> 00:10:30,797
Why I can’t have one?
197
00:10:32,165 --> 00:10:33,800
Well, Balki, you can’t
take the picture.
198
00:10:33,834 --> 00:10:35,902
‐You’re not a real reporter.
‐Well, I...
199
00:10:35,936 --> 00:10:36,903
‐Let me take the picture.
‐No.
200
00:10:36,937 --> 00:10:38,905
‐I want to take the picture.
‐I know you do.
201
00:10:38,939 --> 00:10:40,140
‐I want to take the picture.
‐No, no.
202
00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:43,409
‐Please. Please!
‐No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
203
00:10:43,443 --> 00:10:44,911
Well, okay.
204
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:47,781
Thank you.
205
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:50,183
But only because
it means so much to you.
206
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:53,386
I owe you one.
207
00:11:08,869 --> 00:11:10,771
"Story by Larry Appleton.
208
00:11:10,804 --> 00:11:13,239
Photo by Balki Bartokomous."
209
00:11:13,273 --> 00:11:15,041
Sounds pretty good, huh?
210
00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:16,943
Cousin, it’s muzak in my ears.
211
00:11:19,445 --> 00:11:23,016
Thank you again for giving me
my first photo opportunity.
212
00:11:23,049 --> 00:11:25,251
Well, you don’t have
to thank me.
213
00:11:25,285 --> 00:11:26,987
The cufflinks and the money clip
were enough.
214
00:11:29,089 --> 00:11:30,123
[knock on door]
215
00:11:36,763 --> 00:11:38,865
Well, Uncle Shaggy,
what a surprise!
216
00:11:38,899 --> 00:11:41,301
Uncle Shaggy,
welcome to our home.
217
00:11:41,334 --> 00:11:43,169
You‐you want to get
on our sofa?
218
00:11:43,203 --> 00:11:45,205
You‐you want to chew my sneaker?
219
00:11:47,273 --> 00:11:49,209
I’m not here for fun.
220
00:11:49,242 --> 00:11:50,811
How dare you print this picture?
221
00:11:52,078 --> 00:11:53,814
Oh‐oh.
222
00:11:53,847 --> 00:11:56,182
I didn’t capture your best side?
223
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:57,518
I could take another one.
224
00:11:57,551 --> 00:11:59,853
You had no business
taking this one, Balki.
225
00:11:59,886 --> 00:12:01,221
Oh, come on, Shaggy.
226
00:12:02,989 --> 00:12:05,058
I know you’re a little sensitive
about the makeup thing
227
00:12:05,091 --> 00:12:07,861
but you’re a public person.
This is great publicity for you.
228
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,295
Yeah, great publicity!
229
00:12:09,329 --> 00:12:11,297
Because of this picture,
I’ve been fired.
230
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:29,449
They fired you
because of this picture?
231
00:12:29,482 --> 00:12:30,951
I, uh, alright.
232
00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:32,485
It’s‐it’s a little out of focus
233
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:34,888
and the lighting’s dim but...
234
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:36,422
...that’s not your fault.
235
00:12:36,456 --> 00:12:38,458
I got fired because
somebody recognized me
236
00:12:38,491 --> 00:12:40,794
from this picture
and called the station.
237
00:12:40,827 --> 00:12:42,095
Well, why would they fire you?
238
00:12:42,128 --> 00:12:45,098
[sighs]
I have a prison record.
239
00:12:45,131 --> 00:12:47,333
Don’t tell me.
"Jailhouse Rock?"
240
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:51,337
I love that record.
241
00:12:51,371 --> 00:12:53,907
Balki, Balki,
a prison record
242
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:55,475
doesn’t mean a recording.
243
00:12:55,509 --> 00:12:57,811
It means he was in prison.
244
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:03,116
Why you were in prison?
245
00:13:03,149 --> 00:13:06,386
Twenty years ago, I got
into some financial trouble.
246
00:13:06,419 --> 00:13:09,055
I tried to get out of it
by writing bad checks.
247
00:13:09,089 --> 00:13:10,290
I thought my past was behind me
248
00:13:10,323 --> 00:13:12,893
and it was
until you printed this picture.
249
00:13:12,926 --> 00:13:14,528
Well, well, they can’t
fire you for something
250
00:13:14,561 --> 00:13:16,062
you did 20 years ago.
251
00:13:16,096 --> 00:13:17,330
Tell that to the producer.
252
00:13:17,363 --> 00:13:20,934
She says parents don’t want
their kids watching an ex‐con.
253
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:23,336
So tomorrow’s my last day
in the "Dog House."
254
00:13:23,369 --> 00:13:25,972
Why did you do this? I told you
I didn’t want my picture taken.
255
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,943
‐Cousin, he told you that?
‐I‐I’m sorry.
256
00:13:29,976 --> 00:13:31,377
This‐this is all my fault.
257
00:13:31,411 --> 00:13:34,615
I‐I didn’t know that’s why you
didn’t want your picture taken.
258
00:13:34,648 --> 00:13:36,249
I thought I could trust you.
259
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:39,085
I guess I was wrong.
260
00:13:47,093 --> 00:13:49,930
Cousin, we‐we can’t let them
do that to Uncle Shaggy.
261
00:13:49,963 --> 00:13:52,833
I feel terrible but there’s
nothing we can do about it.
262
00:13:54,067 --> 00:13:55,602
Yes, yes, there is.
263
00:13:55,636 --> 00:13:58,204
We‐we can go right down
to that TV studio
264
00:13:58,238 --> 00:14:00,206
and talk to Uncle Shaggy’s
producer.
265
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,009
And if she thinks
she’s going to fire Uncle Shaggy
266
00:14:03,043 --> 00:14:05,111
she’ll have to do it
over my dumb body.
267
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:17,924
Cousin, there she is.
268
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:19,159
There’s the producer.
269
00:14:19,192 --> 00:14:20,961
Now we have to go talk to her.
270
00:14:20,994 --> 00:14:24,397
We have to go tell her, "No way
can she fire Uncle Shaggy."
271
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:26,933
Balki, now I know
this means a lot to you.
272
00:14:26,967 --> 00:14:28,468
I know you’re upset.
273
00:14:28,502 --> 00:14:31,104
But remember,
you have to stay calm.
274
00:14:33,707 --> 00:14:36,209
Well, of course, I will.
Don’t be ridiculous.
275
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,618
Please don’t fire Uncle Shaggy!
Please, please, please, please!
276
00:14:44,651 --> 00:14:48,088
Why is this person
wrapped around my feet?
277
00:14:48,121 --> 00:14:51,057
Uh, I’m Larry Appleton
from the "Chicago Chronicle"
278
00:14:51,091 --> 00:14:53,159
and, uh, this is
Balki Bartokomous.
279
00:14:55,962 --> 00:14:58,699
Uh, we came down to talk
about Uncle Shaggy.
280
00:14:58,732 --> 00:15:01,434
We really don’t think
you should take him off the air.
281
00:15:01,467 --> 00:15:03,604
I’m not taking Uncle Shaggy
off the air.
282
00:15:04,605 --> 00:15:05,639
Well, that was easy.
283
00:15:07,007 --> 00:15:09,009
Maybe we should try
to get him a raise.
284
00:15:09,042 --> 00:15:11,512
The Uncle Shaggy show stays.
285
00:15:11,545 --> 00:15:14,180
I’m just getting
a different actor to play him.
286
00:15:14,214 --> 00:15:16,683
We’d like to see the old
Uncle Shaggy keep his job.
287
00:15:16,717 --> 00:15:19,586
Are you crazy?
He’s a convicted felon!
288
00:15:19,620 --> 00:15:22,322
I don’t want any controversy.
I’m replacing him.
289
00:15:22,355 --> 00:15:23,724
But you cannot!
290
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:27,060
You cannot replace Uncle Shaggy
just like that.
291
00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:30,330
Uncle Shaggy is more than
just a pair of floppy ears.
292
00:15:30,363 --> 00:15:32,198
More than a set of whiskers.
293
00:15:32,232 --> 00:15:33,499
More than a press‐on nose.
294
00:15:33,534 --> 00:15:35,201
‐More than a tail!
‐Ah!
295
00:15:35,235 --> 00:15:36,436
Balki.
296
00:15:36,469 --> 00:15:37,604
[clears throat]
297
00:15:37,638 --> 00:15:39,439
What my friend is
trying to say
298
00:15:39,472 --> 00:15:41,474
is that Uncle Shaggy
has a special place
299
00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:43,677
in the hearts of his fans.
300
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:46,647
They’re kids!
They’ll get over it.
301
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,948
Excuse me.
302
00:15:54,187 --> 00:15:56,156
[sighs]
303
00:15:56,189 --> 00:15:58,324
Cousin, what are we going to do?
304
00:15:58,358 --> 00:16:00,426
Well, we still have the power
of the press behind us.
305
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,003
I’m gonna write an article
exposing this whole thing.
306
00:16:10,036 --> 00:16:12,272
No, cousin, we don’t have time
to wait for an article.
307
00:16:12,305 --> 00:16:14,007
We have do something today.
308
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,108
Well, Balki,
what are we gonna do?
309
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:16,409
Go on TV and tell the kids
310
00:16:16,442 --> 00:16:18,178
that Uncle Shaggy
has been eighty‐sixed?
311
00:16:18,211 --> 00:16:20,013
I don’t think
his age is the issue.
312
00:16:23,283 --> 00:16:25,686
But we could go on TV
and tell the kids
313
00:16:25,719 --> 00:16:28,054
that Uncle Shaggy
has been fired.
314
00:16:28,088 --> 00:16:29,723
Balki, we can’t do that.
315
00:16:39,432 --> 00:16:41,467
We could if we were dogs.
316
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:44,705
‐Oh, no. No, no.
‐Oh!
317
00:16:55,115 --> 00:16:56,116
Psst!
318
00:17:09,329 --> 00:17:11,197
I don’t believe this.
319
00:17:11,231 --> 00:17:13,333
First, I have to interview
a man in a dog suit.
320
00:17:13,366 --> 00:17:15,769
Now I am a man in a dog suit.
321
00:17:15,802 --> 00:17:20,240
(male #1)
’We’re back in five
four, three, two...’
322
00:17:20,273 --> 00:17:22,408
Welcome back,
puppies and hounds.
323
00:17:22,442 --> 00:17:24,477
Wasn’t that some great cartoon?
324
00:17:24,511 --> 00:17:26,046
[laughing]
325
00:17:27,313 --> 00:17:28,414
[howling in distance]
326
00:17:28,448 --> 00:17:29,616
Oh‐oh.
327
00:17:29,650 --> 00:17:31,552
I think I hear
Frenchie and Hot Dog.
328
00:17:34,688 --> 00:17:36,657
[imitates dog howling]
329
00:17:36,690 --> 00:17:38,625
[instrumental music]
330
00:18:14,728 --> 00:18:16,663
Woof, woof, woof.
331
00:18:19,465 --> 00:18:21,301
Well, boys and girls
332
00:18:21,334 --> 00:18:23,904
it looks like
Frenchie and Hot Dog
333
00:18:23,937 --> 00:18:26,372
are not themselves today.
334
00:18:26,406 --> 00:18:29,710
So I think Uncle Shaggy’s
gonna have to run to the park...
335
00:18:30,844 --> 00:18:32,646
...alone.
336
00:18:32,679 --> 00:18:34,648
[instrumental music]
337
00:18:43,690 --> 00:18:46,259
Didn’t you hear me,
Frenchie and Hot Dog?
338
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:48,529
I said I’m going
to the park alone.
339
00:18:48,562 --> 00:18:50,263
But, Uncle Shaggy...
Whoa!
340
00:18:50,296 --> 00:18:51,397
Whoa!
341
00:18:52,966 --> 00:18:54,768
Time for a commercial,
boys and girls.
342
00:18:54,801 --> 00:18:57,303
Let’s hear from Water Wonder
Backyard Pools.
343
00:18:57,337 --> 00:19:02,208
Remember, kids, Water Wonder
is impervious to mildew and rot.
344
00:19:02,242 --> 00:19:03,076
We’re in the commercial.
345
00:19:03,109 --> 00:19:05,178
[sighs]
What are you two doing here?
346
00:19:05,211 --> 00:19:07,480
‐Haven’t you done enough?
‐Uh, listen, Shaggy.
347
00:19:07,514 --> 00:19:08,782
We’re‐we’re here
because we wanna tell
348
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:10,684
the kids at home
about what’s going on.
349
00:19:10,717 --> 00:19:12,619
Oh, it’s too late,
you make a mistake
350
00:19:12,653 --> 00:19:14,287
you pay for it
the rest of your life.
351
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,922
No, no, that’s not true.
352
00:19:15,956 --> 00:19:18,191
Come on, Uncle Shaggy,
you‐you have to give the fans
353
00:19:18,224 --> 00:19:19,926
a chance to show
how much they love you.
354
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,328
Look, I’ve got two minutes
of showtime left.
355
00:19:22,362 --> 00:19:24,965
Let me finish it with some
dignity and get out of here.
356
00:19:24,998 --> 00:19:27,834
Shaggy, you’re on
in three, two...
357
00:19:27,868 --> 00:19:30,270
Welcome back,
puppies and hounds.
358
00:19:30,303 --> 00:19:32,673
Frenchie and Hot Dog
were just leaving.
359
00:19:32,706 --> 00:19:33,907
No, no, wait a minute.
360
00:19:33,940 --> 00:19:35,842
Boys and girls,
and any parents out there
361
00:19:35,876 --> 00:19:38,545
I have an important
announcement to make.
362
00:19:38,579 --> 00:19:40,581
Down, Frenchie.
Bad dog.
363
00:19:42,683 --> 00:19:44,384
Boys and girls,
are you listening?
364
00:19:44,417 --> 00:19:45,886
Shaggy, 30 seconds.
365
00:19:45,919 --> 00:19:48,989
A long time ago,
Uncle Shaggy was a bad dog
366
00:19:49,022 --> 00:19:52,392
but now he’s a good dog
and, uh, they want to
367
00:19:52,425 --> 00:19:54,728
to‐to give his nose and ears
to somebody else
368
00:19:54,761 --> 00:19:55,929
but we cannot let
that happen because‐‐
369
00:19:55,962 --> 00:19:57,831
‐Twenty seconds.
‐Because Uncle Shaggy is‐‐
370
00:19:57,864 --> 00:19:58,932
Balki, we’re running
out of time.
371
00:19:58,965 --> 00:20:00,534
Uncle Shaggy...
Ow!
372
00:20:00,567 --> 00:20:02,803
Listen, kids
and any parents out there.
373
00:20:02,836 --> 00:20:05,672
A long time ago,
Uncle Shaggy went to jail
374
00:20:05,706 --> 00:20:07,941
because of something
that he is very sorry he did.
375
00:20:07,974 --> 00:20:10,410
But that’s behind him now
and he’s changed his life.
376
00:20:10,443 --> 00:20:12,012
But now his boss
want to fire him.
377
00:20:12,045 --> 00:20:14,414
‐So if you love Uncle Shaggy‐‐
‐And we know you do.
378
00:20:14,447 --> 00:20:15,816
...then call this station
right now
379
00:20:15,849 --> 00:20:17,818
and tell them
that you want him to stay.
380
00:20:17,851 --> 00:20:19,385
And we’re off the air.
381
00:20:19,419 --> 00:20:20,821
‐We’re off the air?
‐Yeah.
382
00:20:24,691 --> 00:20:26,259
Thanks, guys.
383
00:20:26,292 --> 00:20:28,494
Now everyone in the world
knows I’m an ex‐con.
384
00:20:40,974 --> 00:20:43,944
Balki, you’ve barely
touched your food.
385
00:20:43,977 --> 00:20:46,346
I’ve never seen you turn up
your nose at pig snout.
386
00:20:48,014 --> 00:20:51,785
I just, the thought of never
seeing Uncle Shaggy on TV again
387
00:20:51,818 --> 00:20:54,020
has made me lose my appetizers.
388
00:20:57,624 --> 00:20:59,826
Well, Balki, we did
everything we could.
389
00:20:59,860 --> 00:21:03,564
We put on dog suits. We sat up
and begged on television.
390
00:21:05,932 --> 00:21:07,033
It just didn’t work.
391
00:21:08,068 --> 00:21:09,302
[knock on door]
392
00:21:18,011 --> 00:21:20,380
‐Uncle Shaggy?
‐Hi, Larry.
393
00:21:21,948 --> 00:21:23,717
‐Hi, Balki.
‐Hi, Uncle Shaggy.
394
00:21:26,587 --> 00:21:28,488
They gave me my job back!
395
00:21:28,522 --> 00:21:29,590
Oh!
396
00:21:37,698 --> 00:21:38,665
What happened?
397
00:21:38,699 --> 00:21:40,534
Well, thanks to you,
the station was flooded
398
00:21:40,567 --> 00:21:42,669
with hundreds of calls,
telegrams.
399
00:21:42,703 --> 00:21:44,738
Kids showed up
with picket signs.
400
00:21:44,771 --> 00:21:47,407
It seems you were right.
I have lots of fans out there.
401
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,476
Well, we tried to tell you that
but you wouldn’t listen.
402
00:21:50,511 --> 00:21:52,045
Thanks a lot, guys.
403
00:21:52,078 --> 00:21:53,814
Hey, why you don’t stay
404
00:21:53,847 --> 00:21:56,550
and we’ll celebrate
with some pig snout?
405
00:21:56,583 --> 00:21:59,452
Uh, tempting
but I gotta go.
406
00:21:59,485 --> 00:22:01,588
I gotta go to the dry cleaners
and pick up my ears.
407
00:22:01,622 --> 00:22:03,423
Oh!
408
00:22:03,456 --> 00:22:05,091
I really wanna thank you
for what you did.
409
00:22:05,125 --> 00:22:07,561
You saved my tail.
410
00:22:07,594 --> 00:22:09,596
Well, it’s the least
we could do.
411
00:22:09,630 --> 00:22:11,064
Oh!
412
00:22:11,097 --> 00:22:14,467
I thought you might like these.
413
00:22:17,871 --> 00:22:18,939
Swell.
414
00:22:20,741 --> 00:22:22,743
My own dog nose?
415
00:22:26,980 --> 00:22:28,682
[sobbing]
I love this country.
416
00:22:40,927 --> 00:22:43,697
[theme music]
