NARRATOR: Newsreel of the Stars.
Dateline, Hollywood, 1930. The Warner Bros. studio.
Home of the biggest stars in Tinseltown.
Here at the studio's new animation department,
the artists toil endlessly to come up with cartoon stars,
ultimately creating three new characters:
the Warner brothers and their sister Dot.
ALL: Hello, Nurse!
Unfortunately, the Warner kids were totally out of control,
and sent the animators running to the hills.
ALL: Bye!
Boingy! Boingy! Boingy! Boingy!
The trio ran amuck throughout the studio,
creating utter chaos.
[ALL SCREAMING]
Finally, they were captured.
The Warners' films, which made absolutely no sense,
were locked away in the studio vault,
never to be released.
As for the Warners themselves, who made even less sense,
they were locked away in the studio water tower,
also never to be released.
Publicly, the studio has disavowed
any knowledge of the Warners' existence
to this very day, when the Warners escaped.

I...think the cartoon just started.
What are those kids doing
in my personal and private booth?
I don't know, Godfather.
You want we should off 'em, boss?
No. This infringement I will handle on my own.
[CLEARS THROAT]
We're not ready to order yet.
[KISSING SOUNDS]
[GROWLING]
[CLEARS THROAT]
All right, already.
We'll have the pisghetti and meatballs.
I'm not your waiter.
I am Don Pepperoni, the Godfather.
Can we call you "Daddoo"?
You will call me "the Godfather."
I like "Daddoo" better. Me too.
This is my booth, and I want you out.
But we were here first.
Hey, why don't you go sit in one of those other booths, Daddoo?
Stop calling me "Daddoo." I'm the Godfather,
and that's my booth and I want you out.
Looks like somebody never learned to share.
You come here to this restaurant,
sit in my personal and private booth and insult me?
Of course not. If we wanted to insult you,
we would have called you "Tubby Mushroomhead Man."
[GROANS]
Show these kids the door.
That's okay. We can see it from here.
YAKKO: Ooh, nice door.
WAKKO: Faboo.
DOT: Great hinges.
Was it something we said?
Waiter. Waiter!

Now, for lunch.
Allow me to suggest the chef's salad.
The chef couldn't finish his.
DON PEPPERONI: That's disgusting.
So, what'll it be, Daddoo? The calamari or the squid?
The calamari is squid.
Well, how 'bout the pasta or the noodles?
The pasta is noodles.
Well, would you like red sauce or marinara?
Marinara is red sauce.
Zucchini or squash? Ham or prosciutto?
Drink or beverage?
They're all the same!
Do you realize this cuts our menu in half?
That does it!
[GOONS GROWLING]
Hey, I can do that.

WARNERS: ♪ Aye, aye, aye, aye ♪

BOTH: Yes, Don Pepperoni.
ALL: Eww!

BOTH: What happened?
Eww.
You've been eating garlic.
Why, you lousy kid.
WAKKO: Is there a problem, sir?
I can have you all fitted for cement shoes.
Ooh, can I see something in a perky pump?
How big a fool do you think I am?
Let's see.
Oh, about a size 8, double D.
How does this fit, Daddoo?
Ooh, these are comfy.
Hey.
You're gonna be sleeping with the fishes tonight.
Can we all go?
Is Jimmy Hoffa there?
Will he read to us?
Get rid of them!
[WET KISSING SOUNDS]
Eww!
Aren't you worried about germs?
[STAMMERING]
Out!
Oof! I am stupefied as to what has just occurred.
Father's home. Daddy.

So much for global warming.
RUNT: Snow. I love snow.
I didn't know it snowed in Florida.
It doesn't snow in Florida.
Well, that could only mean one thing,
but, uh, unfortunately, I have no idea what that is.
It means we're gonna freeze our patoots
if we don't find someplace warm.
Oh, that's bad, definitely bad.
I don't want my patoot frozen.

MAN: Hey, dog, get away from there.
That is no fire hydrant. It is a dogsled.
Boy, you dumb.
Dumber than the federal government.
Let me tell you about government.
Think of your money as meat. And I'm government.
Now, I slice off a big chunk of your money as taxes
and throw it to the dogs.
Then I do it again.
Hmm.
I'm gonna make you a business proposition, friend.
Now, I want you to hear me out on this.
See, I'm running for president, and I got a dogsled
full of campaign promises
that I gotta get to a fundraiser in Fairbanks by tomorrow night.
Well, the trouble is I got no dog.
Bottom line: you wanna pull my sled?
[BARKING]
Good deal. Problem solved.
My first volunteer. Proud to have you.
Now, mush!
Well, now, that's just sad.
You remind me of the do-nothings in Congress.
Bunch of buffoons.
All right, let's try it again. Hit the road, bub.
Oh, am I in this cartoon too?
No, no, no felines. I hate felines.
Only thing I hate more than a feline
is a Washington lobbyist. Now, get.
Yeow!
Loyalty. I like that in a pack dog and in a volunteer.
All right, pardner, you win.
Now, uh, will you please mush?

I'll tell you what, here's the deal:
I'll pitch the tent, then we'll cook up some beans.

Hi, Rita.
I thought you were staying with Mr. Politician.
We had a difference of opinion. I resigned.
You dumb dog. I quit!
No, I don't. I'm back. I quit. No, I'm back.
I'm good. I quit.
No, I stop. I'm back. I quit. I'm back.
[STAMMERING] I quit. I'm back. I quit.
Did I say I quit? I'm back.
You know what, Rita? Politics is really hard.
What did you two guys disagree about?
Well, we were at odds over how to reduce the deficit.
As a dog, I think we should reduce the deficit,
but not if it means cutting into programs
like federally funded squeezy toys,
and chew bones, and flea dips--
Oh, and fire hydrants--
