To Georgette With Love/Transcript

Oliver and Company: The Series 
To Georgette with Love
(Starting scene:) Georgette is in her bedroom, admiring photographs of male dogs, her past boyfriends. She examines a photograph of Tito, and smiles it.
Georgette: (sighs) Tito, my beautiful Chihuahua prince. You are the one for me. No ocean is wide enough to separate us.
Dodger and Oliver enter from off-camera, amused.
Oliver: All she does is pine over Tito. Is that even healthy?
Dodger: Let's just be glad I'm not one of her boyfriends.
They both laugh. This hasn't gone unnoticed by Georgette.
Georgette: What are you two hoodlums doing in my boudoir? This is my private space, my sanctuary, my fortress of solitude, where I can escape from uncultured heathens like you!
Dodger and Oliver: Ooh!
The two take off out of the room. Dodger exits the house, where he is greeted by the rest of the gang.
Rita: Figured you'd be here. Have a good day?
Dodger: You bet! Somebody needs to put the Queen of the Poodles in her place.
Francis: Come old chap, Fagin's waiting for us, he's back from work.
Dodger: He's found work?
Rita: He got a job as a janitor at this school in the Bronx. Not much, but it's something.
The gang take off, while Dodger hangs back. He stares into the living room window and sees Georgette relaxing on the couch, with a male German shepherd, with a green shirt collar around his neck.
Georgette: Rex, you really are a charmer.
Rex: (chuckles) You are my precious desert flower, Georgette.
The two laugh, while Dodger continues to observe the spectacle.
Dodger: This is gonna be so juicy! (jumps down and takes off)
(Next scene:) The houseboat. Francis is watching a performance of Shakespeare on TV, while Tito is sitting on him. Einstein is resting. Dodger enters, with a devilish smile on his face. Fagin strokes his ears.
Fagin: Dodger, how are you, boy? (he strides off)
Rita: What took you so long?
Dodger: You won't believe what I just saw.
Francis: Well, Fagin's just picked up some food for us. Tell us over dinner.
Rita: He stopped over at Sonny's pizzeria.
Dodger: You can read me like a book! I love Sonny's.
The gang settle down to share their meal with Fagin.
Dodger: So, I went back to the Foxworth place...
Francis: Let me guess. You wanted to continue tormenting that haughty show-dog?
Dodger: Well...(breathes in) Long story short, Georgette's got a new boyfriend.
The gang are taken aback.
Einstein: What?
Rita: Please tell me this is a joke!
Dodger: Not joking. I saw it with my own eyes.
Tito looks shocked.
Tito: My girl, Georgette? Has another amante?
Dodger: Uh-huh. Name's Rex. He's a German Shepherd.
Tito: What? No! You're lying!
Francis: Sorry, Tito. You've been turned into a cuckold.
Dodger: I can see you need time to process this.
Tito faints. 
Rita: Oh, boy. What do you plan on doing about this?
Dodger: Beats me. But it sounds like Tito's gonna have to do something about it.
(Next scene:) The next day, in Central Park. Georgette and Rex are talking. The park is slightly empty, save for a small group of people.
Rex: Georgette, your eyes shine like the sun, and you have a singing voice like a beautiful angel.
Georgette: You really know how to charm, Rex!
Dodger and Tito watch from the bushes.
Dodger: (to himself) And the Oscar for most pretentious attempts at flattery goes to....(imitates drum roll) Rex!
Tito: What does she see in him, Dodge?
Dodger shrugs.
Georgette: Rex, I could listen to you for--
She gets cut off when she notices Dodger and Tito come stumbling out of the bushes, one on top of the other. Georgette and Rex approach.
Georgette: (to Dodger) I should have figured I'd run into YOU at some point. (to Tito) Alonso, my love, it's not what it looks like!
Tito: Georgette, I...
Rex: I'll handle this, Georgette. You deserve better than that gutter-dweller. She only has eyes for the best of the best . Now, scram!
Dodger and Tito take off, with Tito giving Georgette one last look before he leaves.
(Next scene:) The houseboat, later that evening. Dodger is talking to Oliver, who listens intently. Tito is lounging on the armchair, moping. The rest of the gang look concerned.
Dodger: I'm really concerned for Tito, kid. All he does is mope around, thinking about Georgette. It isn't healthy.
Rita: (sarcastically) Wow, gold star.
Francis: The tragedy of lovers torn apart! This reminds me of--
Dodger and Rita: (in unison) Not helping!
Francis clams up.
Tito: Mi vida is basically empty without Georgette. I can't eat, I can't sleep, without thinking of her, amigo!
Dodger: You need to step up, Tito. You need to win Georgette's love back!
Tito: (perking up) I do?
Dodger: Yeah! Knock that stuck-up German Shepherd down a peg!
Triumphant music plays in the background as Tito hops off the armchair.
Tito: (confidently) I will!
Dodger, Rita and Francis: (in unison) Tito! Tito! Tito!
Tito: I'm gonna win Georgette back!
The gang cheer.
(Next scene:) Central Park, the next afternoon. Rex and Georgette are at the Loeb Boathouse cafe on the Lake.
Georgette: You really know how to treat a lady, Rex!
Rex: Only the best for my gal!
Dodger and Tito watch from afar.
Dodger: Time for Rex to take a little dip.
Georgette and Rex stand on the jetty, taking in the view. Unbeknown to them, Dodger and Tito approach the jetty underwater, swimming like alligators. Dodger pounces on Rex and drags him into the water, taking Georgette with him. Rex fights Dodger off, and he and Georgette swim back to land.
Georgette: Rexy, my handsome prince! Are you alright?
Rex: I am now! 
The two walk away, sodden, but smiling. Meanwhile, Dodger and Tito clamber out of the water, covered in duckweed.
Tito: Alright, amigo, what next?
Dodger: Time for step two.
(Next scene:) The Foxworth house. Georgette and Rex are in Georgette's bedroom, lounging on the bed. Georgette feeds him chocolates. Meanwhile, Dodger and Tito are outside with a flock of pigeons.
Dodger: (sending the pigeons to fly into the house, a la Wizard of Oz) Fly my pretties, fly! (cackles)
The pigeons fly in the through the open windows. Georgette screams.
Georgette: Rex!
Rex: I'll handle this.
Rex chases the pigeons out of the bedroom, and they fly away. Dodger and Tito look up, disappointed.
Tito: Could this get any worse?
The pigeons land their droppings onto Dodger. He glares at Tito.
(Next scene:) Later that day, in Central Park. Georgette and Rex are canoodling, when Georgette sees Dodger and Tito approaching.
Dodger: Rex, can I take you aside?
Rex gets up and goes off with Dodger; Tito takes Rita aside.
Rex: This had better be good.
Dodger: I wish I could give ya better news, Rex, but I'll come out and say it. Georgette has dumped you.
Rex: (incredulously) What?
Dodger: Uh-huh.
Meanwhile, with Tito and Georgette...
Georgette: Rex said that about me?
Tito: Heard it with my own orejas, Georgette!
To Dodger and Rex...
Dodger: She said, (in a poor impersonation of Georgette) "Rex, you smell like cheap cologne and look like something the cat dragged in. So, goodbye forever." (normal voice) So, yeah. You're dumped.
Dodger saunters off, leaving Rex confused. Tito joins him, and the two watch from a distance as Georgette and Rex argue.
Dodger: (chuckles) We did it, Tito! We broke up Queen Poodle and her snooty Romeo.
Tito: You really are a genius!
The two tear off to celebrate their victory; before following, Tito glances back at Georgette, with a look of slight regret.
(Next scene:) Back at the houseboat. The gang are going about relaxing when Oliver enters.
Dodger: Oliver, glad you could make it! I take it you've heard that Princess Poodle and her dashing German Shepherd prince have split?
Oliver: It's funny you should mention that. Georgette is pining over Rex and I've tried to get her to talk to him, but she won't budge.
Georgette enters, her eyes red from fits of crying. Rita turns to Oliver.
Rita: Oliver, you might wanna leave. Things are gonna get a bit nasty.
Oliver takes his leave. Rita then approaches Dodger and Tito, who flinch. Georgette flanks her.
Georgette: (screaming at Dodger) I should have figured you'd spread disgusting lies about me and Rex, but (to Tito) you Alonso? I thought I could trust you!
Tito: But Georgette, senorita, I love you!
Dodger tries to stifle his laughter, but fails. Georgette glares at him and Rita confronts the two of them.
Dodger: All I said was that Tito should fight for his girl!
Rita: (sarcastically) Well done! That worked out great. 
Tito: What can we do?
Rita: You both need to find a way to fix this mess, or else!
Dodger: Or what? You'll dish the dirt on us too? Got nothing to tell.
Francis: Aside from the fact you sleep with a worn-out teddy bear called Mr. Cuddles?
Rita cocks her eyebrow, confidently. Dodger and Tito pulls expressions of defeat.
(Next scene:) Rex is in Central Park, looking dejected. Suddenly, he comes across Georgette, who gets a surprised look on her face.
Rex: Georgette! What's going on? What are you doing here?
Georgette: Dodger told me to come to Central Park to meet someone.
Rex: Same here, but with Tito.
The two walk together slightly confused. They approach the Lake and see the words "Georgette, I love you" scattered in huge letters in rose petals.
Georgette: OK, Rex what is going on?
Dodger and Tito approach, looking remorseful.
Tito: I did this for you, mi amor.
Rex: You pair of gutter dwellers--?
Georgette: Rex! Let him speak. You did this, Alonso?
Tito: Si. I felt so bad about breaking you and Rex up, my judgement was clouded by jealousy. If ya don't wanna see my face again, I'll go.
Georgette: Alonso, wait! (Tito looks back) I love Rex, I do, but to be honest, I love you as well.
Tito: Ya do?
Georgette: Yes. And I can still enjoy Rex's company, but you're my one true love.
Georgette kisses Tito on the cheek. He blushes. Georgette turns away, smiling.
Dodger: Come on, let's leave the two lovebirds have their moment.
The two walk away, and Tito looks back smiling at Georgette and Rex; they smile back at him.
(Next scene:) The houseboat, later that evening. Dodger relaxes on the armchair, watching TV, while Tito sits on his back.
Rita: I'm proud of you two, guys.
Dodger: Well, Georgette basically kinda--
Tito: I'll handle this, Dodge. (to Rita) Georgette told me she'll always love me as her true amor, but Rex will always be there for her as a friend.
Rita: Well, I'm glad Rex took it so well. (Saunters off)
Dodger and Tito continue watching their show. Meanwhile, at the Foxworth mansion, Georgette smiles at the photograph of her and Tito.
Georgette: Tito, my prince, I'll always love you. Now and always.
