COPPER: I guess not.
CASH: Oh, come on. You're having fun, ain't ya?
COPPER: Ha! Are you kidding?
CASH: Well, you just wait till we're on top. We are so close, I can smell it.
COPPER: The Grand Old Opry.
CASH: All we gotta do is ace that audition. Right?
COPPER: Heh-heh-heh. Right. Come on. Let's go rehearse some more.
CASH: Attaboy.
AMOS SLADE: Copper! Copper! Oh, where could that pup have gotten off to? Copper!
WIDOW TWEED: Tod! Oh, Tod!
AMOS SLADE: Widow, what are you doing up this time of night?
WIDOW TWEED: Oh, I can't find my Tod anywhere. That pup of yours probably chased him off.
AMOS SLADE: I wouldn't know. I can't find him.
WIDOW TWEED: Oh... Well, if I see a sign of your puppy, I'll give you a holler.
AMOS SLADE: I'm obliged. If I see hide or hair of that fox of yours, well...
WIDOW TWEED: Thank you, Amos. Tod! Tod! Oh, Tod.
AMOS SLADE: Copper!
WIDOW TWEED: Tod!
DIXIE: Oh, my hair. Hmph! Ugh. Broke a nail...
TOD: That's where Copper lives.
DIXIE: Nice spread. Could use woman's touch.
TOD: You sure this is a good idea?
DIXIE: It's the only way. When Clem Clod-kicker over there gets to the fair and sees Copper, he'll bring him home for sure. You two will get to be friends again, and I will reclaim my rightful place in the spotlight. Hmm. We just gotta figure out how to get them to follow us.
TOD: Heh-heh. That's the easy part. See, old Chief there hates me, but he couldn't catch a cold in winter, and wherever Chief goes, Slade follows.
DIXIE: Well, let's see your stuff there, cowboy.
TOD: Psst! Chief! Chief!
CHIEF: Oh, that tickles.
TOD: Huh? Wha... Oh!
CHIEF: Ooh, ooh. Snuggly-wuggly little pookie-pooh. Yow!
AMOS SLADE: Chief, what the devil...
WIDOW TWEED: Tod!
AMOS SLADE: Eh! It's that darn critter of yours!
WIDOW TWEED: My critter? It's your hunt... Oh, my! Oh, dear! When I get my hands on you... Tod, I'm coming! I gotcha in my sight!
CHIEF: You can't get away from me! I'm a fourth-place winner two times over. Why, you! Come back here!
AMOS SLADE: Ah, Chief, come back!
SHOW PRESENTER: Testing. Testing.
GRANNY ROSE: Why, Cash, look at you. You're nervous as a flea on dip day. I haven't seen you like this in a long time.
CASH: You ain't never seen me like this, Granny.
WAYLON: I just hope that talent scout fella's in a good mood.
OLIVIA FARMER: You know, that snake charmer could use a little more practice. Don't you think?
WINCHELL BICKERSTAFF: Aah!
OLIVIA FARMER: Get the lead out of them boots, Mr. Bickerstaff. The talent show's just about to start.
WINCHELL BICKERSTAFF: Aah!
OLIVIA FARMER: I know. I'm excited too.
WINCHELL BICKERSTAFF: Whoa, whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Ugh! Ugh!
OLIVIA FARMER: Mm! Blueberries.
WINCHELL BICKERSTAFF: Aah!
OLIVIA FARMER: Here we are, Mr. Bickerstaff. Just in time.
SHOW PRESENTER: Ladies and gentlemen, The Singin' Strays!
TOD: Coming through! Excuse me! Pardon me!
COPPER: Tod?
CHIEF: Copper?
AMOS SLADE: Chief!
WIDOW TWEED: Tod!
AMOS SLADE: Copper! That's my dog!
CASH: You ain't a stray?
DIXIE: Aah! Aah!
AMOS SLADE: What in tarnation?
CASH: Dixie, what have you done? Where they going? Wait. We can't let'em leave. We got a show to do. Wait!
