Hey! DW!

-HEY!

-Woah!

Hello. I'm Arthur Read, and I've made lots of movies.

Well, OK, I've only made three movies.

But I started when I was very young.

What a cute baby you are, Arthur.

Oh. Give daddy back the camera, sweetie.

Ah!

My second film really rocked.

DISTANT CHIRPING

Literally. It's called Rock.

Very...artsy.

(I accidentally left the camera on.)

For my third film, I decided to try science fiction,

but my alien monster wasn't very scary.

I bet you're dying to know what my next film will be about.

Stay tuned to the Arthur Movie Channel.

'I'm Capri DeVapida and welcome to the Perfect Pet.'

'Do you have a pet? If you do, make a movie about it and send it to me.'

Show your pet doing tricks, looking cute and being a-ffec-tion-ate.

Is that Italian? I don't speak Italian.

WHISPERS

Oh. Affectionate.

The winner will have their film on Perfect Pet.

Hey! We could actually win that contest!

I've made movies before and you're great at tricks.

Billions of fans have lined up for the premier of Arthur and Pal's

latest hit movie, Slumdog and the Millionaire.

And here come the stars, now.

CHEERING

Pal, much has been said about your minimalist portrayal

-of the slumdog. Any thoughts?

-WOOF

So true, Pal. So true.

And Arthur, how do you account for your sudden rise to fame?

It all started when we had our film shown on the Perfect Pet.

Thanks Capri and Pixel.

I just love Arthur's films.

They're so expired.

WHISPERS

Oh. I meant inspired.

ALL: Arthur! Arthur!

If we're going to win, I'll need some help.

So, what's the movie about? Is it aliens?

-Sorry, it's about Pal.

-Oh.

We can make Pal an alien. All we need is a foil hat.

We did that already. I want it to be about the real Pal.

It's going to be called Dog's Day in Afternoon.

It'll be really exciting, I promise.

I've only been here 10 minutes and you've already broken your promise.

Come on, buddy. Wake up, it's time for your close-up.

Good boy. We'll get some great footage, now.

Even The Rock was better than this.

Let's take him to the park. That'll get him excited.

Alright, now. Ready? Fetch!

And action!

BARKING

YAWNING

Cut!

-ARTHUR SIGHS

-'And ACTION!'

JAUNTY MUSIC

MEOW

'And cut!'

Great job, Nemo!

Don't tell me you're entering the Perfect Pet film contest, too?

We're winning! My movie's called Filming Nemo.

We've got the tricks part of the contest nailed.

Check out this amazing action footage.

Greetings, toilet drinker.

Salutations, hairball hurler.

My movie's going to win, you know.

-What movie?

-The one Arthur's making about you!

Boy, are you slow!

You probably still think the vacuum cleaner's a scary monster!

I do not! It's a scary robot.

Woah! When did Nemo learn how to ride a skateboard?

And he's got tonnes of other tricks. We've got you licked!

Yeah? Well, Pal can do lots of amazing things, too.

I just don't know what they are, yet.

SLOW BANJO

-SNIFFS

-Pal! No!

I guess I was wrong.

He really can't do anything amazing.

It's OK, Pal. It's not your fault if all you can do is look cute.

Hey! Wait! That's the second category of the contest, cuteness.

Start filming him, quick.

Wow! He's a natural. Try another pose.

That's it, boy. Work it. Let me see that pout!

-Aw!

-Don't "aw"! He's the enemy.

Aw! The really cute enemy!

I can't believe they're falling for this blatant pandering.

I can't help it if I'm adorable.

You're not adorable, you're...

Aww...eugh. Must be strong.

Anyway, viewers don't care about such frippery, they want-

Come on, Nemo. Time to cuten you up.

Aah!

-Hewwo? Hewwo!

-Aw! The bonnet kitty is waving!

Hi, bonnet kitty!

-Buster!

-Sorry.

Lies! All lies!

Now, now. There's no shame in wearing a nice bonnet, Mrs Nemo!

PAL LAUGHS

But they dressed me up while I was sleeping!

Oh, the shame!

The shame!

Now Nemo does the best tricks and is the cutest.

You don't stand a chance!

-She's right.

-Not necessarily.

I have this really cool video editing programme.

What if we added a few...special effects?

Come on. I'll show you.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Wow!

Wow! Now, that's a trick!

-Do you think it's cheating?

-Why?

The footage is all real, I just jazzed it up a little.

I don't know.

If you want, I'll take out the jetpack I put in.

PAL WHINES

PAL HOWLS

MEOWING

Well? This had better be good.

You used the special pet emergency call.

It's this blasted movie.

Arthur and Buster made it seem I did something I didn't.

Wear a bonnet?

No. They made it look like I was jumping through a flaming hoop.

-Oh-ho! Lucky you!

-But it's cheating!

And besides, does Arthur think that I'm not exciting enough as I am?

You can't blame him for that. You are very dull.

Anyway, what about me?

Francine thinks I'm not cute!

Don't listen to her. You're much cuter than lots of creatures.

-Like spiders and...spiders.

-Thank you. I think.

We have to put an end to those movies, for their own sakes.

-But how?

-We'll eat the cameras.

It won't be pretty, but it's the only way.

Or we could just stop doing what they tell us to do.

That could work, too! Probably less painful than eating a camera.

Then it's settled. If they're not going to be nice to us,

we won't be nice to them.

EVIL LAUGH

Yes. Mwah-ha-ha...har.

Your evil laugh needs work

OK. We're down to the last category.

-All we need is footage of Nemo being affectionate.

-No problem.

Nemo loves to curl up in my lap and cuddle.

Good morning, Nemo-weemo.

Come see mamma.

That is not his good side.

-That's weird. Come on, Neemo-weemo.

-MEOWS ANGRILY

I think he's mad at me.

Pal, what's wrong? Gimme a hug!

Uh, I'm not feeling the love.

This is really weird. He always licks my face when I say that.

Come on, boy. Plant one right here.

That's not nice.

Something's really wrong.

-Arthur. I think something's-

-Francine. I've got... You go first.

You win. Or rather, I hope you win. We're not entering the contest.

-Neither are we. It's upsetting Pal.

-Nemo, too.

It's like he's angry at me.

-Are you getting the rear in the face treatment?

-All morning.

Let's let some other pet be the perfect pet.

I like mine just the way he is.

-Nice work, evil feline.

-Same to you, dopey mutt.

So, like, I guess we had a contest or something.

Our winning con-co...erm. WHISPERING

Contestant is Buster Baxter! APPLAUSE

For his film, Paws of Darkness: The Making of Filming Nemo

and Dog's Day and Afternoon.

And it was all real. I didn't change a thing.

ALL: Yey! Buster!

Am I going to be rich and famous and get my own TV show, now?

No. You get this autographed picture. APPLAUSE

I'm glad you're happy again, Pal. More steak, boy?

-How about some catnip?

-PURRING
