[ID: Mutt stands in front of a doghouse in his backyard, looking worried. /end] Mutt: Rotten luck, I calls it! Jeff beat me to the car this morning!

[ID: Mutt hangs his coat and hat up on a wall-mounted rack, then struts across the house. /end] Mutt: He's certainly tight with his "roller skate." It ain't saving me much shoe leather!

Mutt: Yes! And rush me to the hospital at once so I can die there! What hit me? Jeff: My car, Mutt! (sniff)

[ID: Mutt jumps up with surprise as Jeff wipes the tears away with a handkerchief. /end] Mutt: [ID: Mutt thinks of Jeff's puny car. /end] Your CAR? Jeff: Yes! (sniff) Come on, I'll take you to the hospital! (sniff)

[ID: Mutt angrily storms off, to Jeff's nervous surprise. /end] Mutt: [ID: Mutt thinks about how much larger he is than Jeff's car. /end] I ain't hurt! Jeff: ?
