Amos Doggie & Hannah -- "Another Day Goes By" Writer's Note: This episode is much like the "Day in a Life" episode of the original Road Rover series, only it focuses on Amos Doggie and Hannah 7:34 AM --- The 'home' of Amos & Hannah Doggie Hannah is already awake and cooking breakfast on the kitchen stove. Amos Doggie is still in his hammock, fast asleep, and snoring like a nest of chainsaws. HANNAH (shouts out as she flips pancake): AMOS!! TIME TO GET UP! Amos mumbles a few words, but stays in his hammock. HANNAH (shouts louder): AMOS DOGGIE! BREAKFAST TIME!!! Amos still stays in his hammock, snoring even louder. Hannah walks over, grabs the hammock, and dumps her husband out of it. AMOS (half awake): What da...... HEY! WOMAN! WHY DO DIS TO AMOS? HANNAH (puts pancakes on two plates): It's the only way I could awaken you, darling! Besides, breakfast is ready! AMOS (sniffs): Oh YEAH!!! Hannah, you be the greatest cook in the bayou, I guarantee! HANNAH (smiles): Ever since we've become Road Rovers and Cano-Sapiens, I can do a lot more in the kitchen than I used to. It's so hard to make pancakes with paws instead of hands. (sets the table) Come, Amos, you're food's getting cold. AMOS (sits down): Ummmm boy! Deese things be better than crawdad bisk in the morning! HANNAH (sits down): I take that as a complement! AMOS (looks at watch): Excuse me, be right back HANNAH (nods): The morning paper, yes, it's about that time! Amos walks outside and gives out a strange bark. Within seconds, a brown and white barn owl flies overhead, holding a newspaper with it's claws. The owl passes over Amos's head and drops the paper into his hands. AMOS (shouts up): Many thanks, Woody! (walks back into house, smiles): I have it, darling! Right on time! HANNAH (confused): Amos, darling, where does Woody get that newspaper he brings us every morning? AMOS (smiles): He FINDS it! Amos take the comics, you take the rest of it! Amos not read too well HANNAH (shakes head): Amos, we have to hurry. Remember, we have to be at Road Rover Mission Control by nine to report for regular duty AMOS (eats pancake with hands): We not be having a mission, do we? HANNAH (smiles): No dear, but the Master has different Rovers report to Headquarters for routine training and maintenence, today is OUR day! AMOS (grabs another pancake): What will we be doing, dear? HANNAH (pours coffee): I'm not certain. We have to hurry up and get ready, Otto and Sam will be here to pick us up in an hour! AMOS (drinks coffee): You be right, woman! Hey, why do me coffee cup be sticking to me hand? HANNAH (giggles): Maybe if you didn't eat those syrup covered pancakes with your hands..... AMOS (nods): You be having a point der, Hannah, I go shower now! HANNAH (to herself): I gotta teach him how to use silverware! 8:45 am ---- in front of Amos & Hannah Doggie's house. Hannah is now dressed in her silver Road Rovers outfit, Amos is wearing his 'classic' blue bib overalls and flannel shirt. HANNAH (looks at Amos): Amos, honey, why won't you wear your Road Rover uniform? AMOS (shakes head): Amos not like it! Amos like dis look better! HANNAH (shakes head): The Master may not like this! AMOS (smiles): Why not? Before Hannah can answer, a loud BOOM!!!! shakes the swamp, it's Otto and Samantha Maddog arriving. OTTO (smiles): Are you two prepared to accompany us to our destination? AMOS (dumbfounded): No, but me and Hannah want to come with y'all to Mission Control! OTTO (nods): I see..... SAMANTHA (smiling): Excuse me, Hannah, ma'am, but I must know, do you do your own hair? HANNAH (nods): I've learned the technique from watching my former master's daughter, I stayed in her room much of the time. OTTO (shouts): Are we ready to go? AMOS (nods): Amos ready to be leaving! With a loud BOOM!!!! the four Road Rovers disappear..... 10:34 am -- Road Rover Mission Control Amos Doggie and Hannah are in the motor pool, washing one of the Street Rovers. It's the first time Amos has even seen a water hose, so he soon 'loses control' of it, and accidently drenches his wife, as well as DJ, Molly Maddog and Hope. HANNAH (furious): AMOS!!!! LOOK AT ME!!! I LOOK LIKE A DROWN RAT!!! AMOS (dreamily): You be so beautiful when ye be angry! DJ (shakes off): AMOS! WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA? MOLLY (shakes off): HEY!! WATCH IT, UNCLE AMOS!! HOPE (shakes off): WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? AMOS (sadly walks towards them): Amos is sorry, it be an accident.... HOPE (grabs the hose): Well, let's see how you like it! Hope sprays Amos with the hose, to her surprise, he actually enjoys it! AMOS (laughing): Ewwwww! WE! This be so much fun! Keep shootin' dat water on me! Dis be more fun than gator wrestlin'! HOPE (confounded): Is he for real? HANNAH (bows head): Please forgive my husband, it's the first time he's ever used a water hose. The Master assigned us to wash some of the Rover vehilces. DJ (smiles): It's OK, Hannah, we understand! MOLLY (smiles): It's alright, Uncle Amos! HOPE (smiles): Let me show you how to use it, OK? AMOS (smiles): I'd be much gratiful, ma'am! HANNAH (smiles): Well, look on the bright side! We're already had our showers for today! All of the Rovers laugh together. 12:05 PM --- Road Rover Dining Room Amos, Hannah, Blitz, Hunter, Colleen, Ace, Boomerang, DJ, Molly and Hope are all seated together, having lunch. AMOS (stares at his food): Honey, what be dis food called? HANNAH (smiles): This is Chinese food! It's Shag's famous Kung Pow Chicken! AMOS (sniffs it): It be a strange looking food to me! ACE (smiles): C'mon, Amos, it's good! Try it! HANNAH (smiles): Go ahead, dear, trust me, it's delicious! AMOS (points at eggrolls): What be dees tings? ACE (smiles): Those are eggrolls, Amos! BLITZ (rolls eyes): Oh brother! Where did the master call this dumbkoff from? HANNAH (growls): My husband is NOT dumb! Take that back, or I'll make you sorry! BLITZ (wide grin): What will you do to me, pretty she dog! HANNAH (jumps up out of her chair): THIS!!!! Hannah grabs Blitz by the arm and slings him against the wall. COLLEEN (giggles): Well done, Hannah! HUNTER (laughs): He skidded a little on the landing, I give him a 8.5 for style! DJ (laughs): Now, THAT'S entertainment! HANNAH (walks over to Blitz): Oh dear, I didn't mean to hurt you that badly, are you alright, sir? BLITZ (dizzy): Just call me Fluffy! (falls over) BOOMERANG (smiles): WOW! Now THAT'S MY kind of woman! COLLEEN (growls): She's married you bloomin' idiot! BOOMERANG (looks at Colleen): Yep, but YOUR not! How about you and me go out tonight? We can take in a Metallica concert! COLLEEN (shakes head): No thanks, Boomerang. BOOMERANG (smiles): Oh, C'mon, Colleen! Live a little! We'll paint the town! AMOS (smiles): We need much paint to do dat with! BOOMERANG (mumbles): That old dog really IS stupid .... HANNAH (furious): I heard that, Boomerang! Before Hannah can stand up, Boomerang runs out of the dining room. HUNTER (laughs): Smart man! HANNAH (angry): I hate it when people call my husband names! He can't help it he hasn't been exposed to the world like the rest of us have.... AMOS (looks at Hannah): It be alright, honey! It not bother Amos, he be called worse tings in dis life! HANNAH (sadly): Well it bothers ME! MOLLY (looks at Hannah): I know, Aunt Hannah, it makes me upset also! In some ways, Uncle Amos is a lot smarter than all of us in this room! DJ (smiles): I know, I've been on several missions with Amos. ACE (smiles): I agree! Amos, you rock! AMOS (smiles): Y'all's being very kind, but I know I be not all that smart, dere be no schooling in the swamp! HANNAH (looks at watch): We better hurry up and eat, dear! We have to report to the briefing room in a half hour AMOS (nods): You be right, my love! Amos eats his lunch with his mouth right off of the plate, making a mess all over the table. HUNTER (whispers to Hannah): I take it he haven't seen a fork and spoon, has he? HANNAH (whispers back): No, but I've been trying to teach him.... COLLEEN (looks at Amos): Ewwwwww Gross! HOPE (turns away): He really needs a course on table manners! AMOS (licks plate clean): You be right! That was mighty tasty! We be going now, yes? HANNAH (nods): Yes, dear. (waves) Bye, everyone! The other Rovers wave and Amos and Hannah leave the room, Hannah hands her husband several napkins and tells him to clean off his face. 12:40 pm --- The RRHQ Briefing Room Amos Doggie and Hannah stand before the Master, who is up on his 'platform'. MASTER (looking down at them): Amos Doggie, Hannah, you are good, good dogs! HANNAH (nods): Thank you, Master! MASTER (smiles): You're work on the DeSalle case was especially good, that bank robbery you stopped was also excellent. But, what is this I heard about Amos wrecking a movie set? AMOS (giggles): That goober be filming on MY swamp without my permission! Amos show he a ting or two, yes? MASTER (sternly): Amos, you are a Road Rover now, you can't just go around... HANNAH (interrupts): It was my fault, sir. I left him and the others alone to go shopping and .... MASTER (smiles): Hannah, I'm not trying to place blame on anyone. All I'm trying to say is that my Road Rovers need to keep a 'low profile' stay away from the 'public eye', that's all! HANNAH (nods): I think I understand, Master! MASTER (looks at Amos): Amos, do you understand? AMOS (nods): I see your point, Master. Amos is sorry.... MASTER (smiles): It's alright, Amos! You and Hannah have certainly earned your positions in the Road Rovers, and .... A siren goes off, which causes the Master to look at a nearby computer terminal. He examines it, and hits an alarm MASTER (on PA system): All Road Rovers assemble in the briefing room! HANNAH (confused): Master, what's wrong? MASTER (excited): Parvo is on the move again! He's set up shop in Baton Rouge, stealing stray dogs and mutating them! As the Master speaks, Molly, DJ, Hope, Ace and Boomerang enter the briefing room. MASTER (looks around): Where are Hunter, Colleen, Blitz and Shag? DJ (shouts): All of them are with their masters now, Master MASTER (nods): Alright, it'll be up to all of you to stop Parvo, he's in Baton Rouge now, kidnapping more dogs for his evil army! BOOMERANG (smiles): Let's take'm down, Rovers! MASTER (nods): Good dogs, DJ, you're in charge! Good luck, my Rovers! DJ (shouts): We're dogs with a mission! We're Road Rovers! All of the dogs howl in unison. 2:12 PM -- on a street outside of an old abandoned brewery DJ. Molly, Boomerang, Ace, Hope, Amos and Hannah are hiding beside a nearby dumpster. DJ (whispering): Ok, people, this is the place where Parvo and Groomer are hid out. Any suggestions? BOOMERANG (wicked grin): Let's just start blasting! DJ (shakes head): We have to rescue all of the stray dogs first! ACE (whispers): We need to take out the guards first! HOPE (whispers): We need a distraction to lure them all out! DJ (nods): I have an idea! Gather around! The scene switches to inside the brewery building. Seven Cano-Mutants are patroling the east wing, when, as if out of nowhere, a very sexy looking collie wearing a blue minidress slowly approaches them MOLLY (sexy voice): Hey, big boys, wanna party? The seven Cano-Mutants instantly drop their weapons and stare at Molly. MOLLY (motions with finger): Follow me, guys! Molly leads the drooling Cano-Mutants outside where DJ, Boomerang, Ace, Amos, Hannah and Hope quickly attack them. After some brief fist-fighting, the seven Cano-Mutants are tied up and gagged. DJ (smiles, whispers): Great work, guys! The plan worked! AMOS (nods): It be a howling success, yes? MOLLY (sternly): Successful, but a bit unnerving for me.... BOOMERANG (stares at Molly, drooling): You are one HOT mama! MOLLY (sadly): Please stop that, Boomerang.... BOOMERANG (smiles): How about you and me, after the mission .... DJ (steps between them): Heel, Boomerang, we don't have time for this! Parvo is inside, let's take'm down! All of the Rovers howl in unison. DJ leads the others into the building. He draws his laser pistol out and fires on a catwalk, causing it to collaspe and three Cano-Mutants to fall to the floor. This alerts the rest of Parvo's guards, who then open fire. DJ, Boomerang and Hope hold the Cano-Mutants 'at bay' while Molly uses here blazing speed to get behind them and knocks them out with a baseball bat. This works three times, but on the fourth attempt, the Cano-Mutant grabs Molly by the arm and throws her down, rendering her unconscience. DJ (shouts): Oh NO! They've got Molly! HANNAH (angry): They can't do that to my niece! Everyone, hold your ears! The other Rovers hold their hands over their ears as Hannah stands up and lets out an ear-piercing howl. The sound (which only dogs can hear) causes all the other Cano-Mutants to grab their ears, wrenching in pain until they all pass out. HANNAH (taps DJ on the shoulder): It's OK, I'm finished now! DJ (motions to the others): Alright, let's take'm Rovers! In another room of the brewery, Parvo and Groomer walk out, unaware of what has happaned. PARVO (looks around): Hey, where's all of my guards? GROOMER (points downward): Isn't that one of them on the floor, behind that keg? PARVO (angry): The Road Rovers must've found us! But how? DJ (shouts): Hey, Parvo! We're over here! Parvo looks down and sees DJ, Hope and Boomerang pointing their laser pistols at them. Before Parvo and Groomer can reach for their weapons, DJ and the others fire at their steel catwalk, causing both of the criminals to fall to the floor with a loud thud. As the other Road Rovers encircle them, Groomer drops a smokebomb that temporarily blinds all the Rovers. When the smoke clears, Parvo and Groomer are gone. Meanwhile, Amos and Hanna are tending to the injured Molly Maddog. HANNAH (using smelling salts): Molly? MOLLY? Wake up! AMOS (tears in eyes): C'mon, Molly, please awaken for Uncle Amos! As Boomerang, Hope and Ace go over to the animal cages to free all the captured dogs, DJ slowly walks over to his fallen friend. DJ (whispers to Hannah): Is she alright? HANNAH (sadly): I'm no medic, but I'd say she's out cold. She's breathing, we gotta get her some help, fast! DJ (shouts out): Guys, you stay here and make sure all of these dogs are taken care of, I'm taking Amos, Hannah and Molly back to Headquarters! 4:45 PM ---- Road Rover Headquarters Amos, Hannah and DJ pace in front of the medical ward where Professor Hubert, Marauder, Uncle Buford and Kyra are tending to Molly. DJ has his back turned to the others, tears in his eyes. AMOS (sadly): Why be they taking so long? Amos must know what is happaning! HANNAH (sadly): Take it easy, dear, there's nothing more we can do... DJ (mumbles to himself): This is all my fault... Hannah slowly walks over to where DJ is standing and puts her hand on his shoulder. HANNAH (whispers): DJ, you mustn't blame yourself,, DJ (turns and looks at Hannah): But I was in charge, it's my responsibility.. HANNAH (whispers): No DJ, I've known Molly for many years, she'd be the first to tell you that she doesn't blame you for this, and YOU can't blame yourself either. DJ (sadly): If she'll ever talk again .... Instinctively, Hannah gently hugs DJ. HANNAH (pats him on the back): She'll be alright, DJ, just have faith! As Hannah is still holding DJ, Kyra opens the door. AMOS (excited): Please, miss, be telling us about Molly! KYRA (smiles): Molly has a slight concussion and a few bruises, otherwise, she's going to be fine! HANNAH (looks at DJ): See, I told you! DJ (excited): That's great! Can I see her? KYRA (smiles): She's resting now, but she's asking to see all of you! Please come in! Kyra leads Amos, Hannah and DJ back into Molly's room, a big smile comes across her face when she sees them enter her room. MARAUDER (smiles): I've given her a mild seditive, you can have five minutes with her. Kyra and Marauder leave the room as the others gather around Molly's bedside. MOLLY (looks up at DJ): DJ... I'm so glad you're hear.... DJ (holds her hand): I'm here, Molly! HANNAH (smiles): And so are Amos and myself! MOLLY (lifts head up slighty): Thank ... you..... DJ (whispers to Hannah and Amos): Hannah, Amos, may I speak to her alone? HANNAH (nods, whispers): Certainly, we understand... AMOS (nods): Dat we do, DJ! Amos and Hannah leave the room. DJ, still holding Molly's hand, sits in a chair and begins to speak. DJ (turns to Molly): Molly collie, you gave me ... er... us quite a scare today! I feel some measure of responsibility because I was in charge of the mission (sees Molly faintly shake her head 'no'). Molly, I still feel that I was the one who put you in that position. (turns away): The truth is, Molly, over the past few months, I've grown very fond of you. From the first day I met you in the motor pool, when you took up for me in front of your sisters, I knew you were someone very, very special. Oh Molly, I just wanted to say that ... (DJ turns his head towards Molly, who is now fast asleep) ... er ... well... (smiles) Goodnight, Molly! I've glad you didn't leave us! DJ releases her hand and leaves the room 7:01 PM --- At Amos & Hannah Doggie's place Amos is outside, having a 'conversation' with several alligators, two water snakes and three owls. HANNAH (comes running outside): AMOS!! I HAVE GOOD NEWS!!! AMOS (smiles): Good news! I be wanting to hear some! HANNAH (smiles): I just got a call from Road Rover Headquarters! Molly is up and walking around now! She just needs to take it easy for the next few days! Kyra says she'll make a full recovery! AMOS (excited): You hear dis, guys! My niece is going to be alright! I be so happy! HANNAH (smiles): Honey, the sun's going down, would you like to take a stroll? AMOS (smiling): Sure, my love! Let's go! Amos and Hannah hold hands, turn towards the setting sun, and walk along the edge of the swamp. Slowly, they walk together, and out of the scene.... -------------------------------------------------------------
