Isle of Dogs Edit

A balanced diet, regular grooming,

A child warrior sympathetic to the plight

A moldy rice cake; a dried up pickle;

A platform to voice their dissenting beliefs!

A procession of dog hating thugs,

A rancid apple core; two worm eaten banana peels;

A statement from Major Domo, live at Brick Mansion:

A tidal wave of Anti Dog hysteria

A young boy named Atari,

Abducted into the company of these wild, savage dogs.

About Kobayashi Pharmaceutical.

About me and Felix. For the record.

About the suffering dogs of Trash Island.

Actually, it's pretty obvious.

Actually, yes. Just one.

Acute moodiness

After all? Yes.

After offering sharp criticism last night

After that, we're back on foot.

All 11 of its domestic factories

All in favor of Chief

All in favor of jump...

All in favor of my plan,

All in favor of not eating the little pilot, say "Aye".

All powers and authorities

All the ones I like: they're never in heat.

ALL: Aye!

ALL: Aye. CHIEF: Nay.

ALL: Metropolitan... Shh! Quiet, please.

ALL: To dogs!

Alright.

Always hangs in a delicate balance.

An extremely pleasant animal.

An industrial lobbyist from West Suzuki.

An old, smushed up, rotten gizzard

An outbreak of Snout fever

And a fine of no less than 250,000 yen.

And a general physical once a year.

And a powerful new weapon, to boot.

And all the pets of Megasaki City!

And also the intention

And an earthquake triggered the tsunami

And approval of the mayor's proposal.

And contagious tick larvae

And crash landed onto this island

And descended in force

And don't you forget it, ever.

And drove me out to the middle of the sticks.

And enter the human disease pool.

And extreme/aggressive behavior.

And flew it to the island... (DOORBELL RINGING)

And formally deported on the next direct flight

And go find your dog.

And grounded for the duration of his childhood years.

And he tried to pet me.

And he was already in a coma from starvation,

And he was the leader of our pack,

And her tongue turned black.

And his five dog abductors this afternoon

And hitched back to Megasaki.

And I got pad locked out

And I'll never see him again.

And I'm going to be a father!

And never speaking to him again, say "Aye".

And numerous broken bones in the crash

And pledged his sword

And Puppy Snaps resumed production

And respond to no further questions.

And rusty viaducts.

And she got crushed

And sometimes that ruffles some feathers.

And spasmodic nasal expiration.

And suppressed a medically proven Dog Flu treatment

And the extermination process will begin.

And the first two times, I escaped within 24 hours,

And urges reporters to respect

And violently destroyed.

And watch out for the cannibal dogs.

And we demand a re count!

And without mass neutering!

And you brought it back to him?

And your support for the diligent men and women

And...

Anyway, as I say, he seemed to have been

Anyway, look around.

Anyway, one morning a week later,

Anyway, that's my favorite food I ever ate.

Anyway, you're Nutmeg.

Apparently, I bit him so hard, I nearly chewed his hand off.

Appeal to the people. Stop the mayor.

Appears to have been inaccurately reported,

Are we eating him, or is this a rescue?

Are you going to eat me now?

Are you going to eat me now?

Are you hard of hearing?

Are you okay?

Are you Professor Watanabe's

As a desperate survival instinct.

As my only and unconditional master!

As new bodyguard dog in personal service to you,

As the Boy Samurai of Legend, RIP.

As ward to the mayoral household.

As you know, most of the animals on this island

At Brick Mansion.

At least 30 days community service

At Megasaki Executive Airport.

At the end of the bloody dog wars,

At the hands of their former masters.

At the moment Mayor Kobayashi is re inaugurated,

At the Municipal Dome,

At the threshold of the Far Away Cuticles.

At Toho Mountain Ryokan

Atari as your direct master,

Atari has also been assigned a security detail

Atari Kobayashi is the new mayor of Megasaki City!

Atari Kobayashi, adopted ward to the mayoral household.

Atari was a hero.

Atari who suffered the loss of his right kidney

Atari, aged 12, was last seen early yesterday morning

Atari, I'm going to drag you overboard with my teeth,

Awoke from a deep coma early this morning

Back to Cincinnati, Ohio. Oh. Hmm.

Battery's probably dead, anyway.

Be burned in a crematory furnace,

Be careful.

Be loyal to him, in the first place.

Be notified: I'll be compelled to defend myself

Be that as it may, let's look at the pros.

Beautiful night.

Because he's a 12 year old boy.

Because my sister in law drank it,

Before we attack each other and tear ourselves to shreds

Begin preparations immediately.

Beheaded the head of the head of the Kobayashi clan

Being experimented on against their will.

Ben is dead. No future on Trash Island.

Betrayed his species,

Biscuit o. Biscuit o. Biscuit o.

Blizzards of infected fleas, worms, ticks and lice

Blood all over the kitchen floor.

Bodyguard dogs have to have 20/30 Auditory

BOSS: King's the spokes dog for that.

BOSS: Mine's hot sausage, yakitori style.

BOSS: Remind me again. CHIEF: What's the rumor?

Both stray and domesticated.

Brains have been washed. Wheels have been greased.

Brought me out a bowl of some homemade hibachi chili.

But aren't we all? In the last analysis, I mean?

But circumstances have radically changed for me

But his left kidney failed

But I love him very much,

But I think the little pilot's got a screw loose.

But I wouldn't be able to chew my meat!

But I wouldn't worry because you're

But I've never enjoyed it.

But it's just not true.

But nobody's giving up around here,

But one thing's for sure:

But that's a private matter.

But the third time... (WIND HOWLING)

But they survived and multiplied.

But this is no place for a dog like you.

But this seems unlikely. Too far to dog paddle.

But we both know: that was no suicide!

But we will die trying.

But we're going to be there. Let's go.

But you just have to imagine that part.

But you just have to imagine that part.

But, if the black owl reaches you

By a pack of disobedient, contagious, infected animals.

By an attractive cub reporter on your staff,

By official decree,

Calling for a hasty quarantine:

Can I see it?

Can I see one?

Can you hear me, Master Atari?

Can you prove it?

Canine Saturation crisis policy:

Canine Saturation will be returned

Chairman Fujimoto san,

Chief, are you willing to accept

Chief, you fight the robot dog.

CHIEF: (SCOFFING) Ah...

CHIEF: Rex! King! Duke! Boss! You made it!

CHIEF: You're not our leader! We all are!

CHIEF: You're not our leader! What?

Chief! Sit!

Crunchy. Salty.

Cured every breathing animal in the region.

Dammit!

Demolished by earthquake.

Desperate.

Destroyed by volcanic blast.

Director of Kobayashi Robotics.

Disappearance, or felony prosecution

Do I have it?

Do I have it?

Do I have it? Do I have the story?

Do you have any idea

Do you know me?

Does that sound right? ALL: Yeah, that's right.

Dog Flu threatens to cross the species threshold

Dog Flu will be eradicated. Snout fever will be defeated.

Doggy Chop re opened

Doggy... Doggy Chop folded?

Dogs are dying on a miserable island.

Dogs love those.

Dogs talk, and I listen. Always have.

DOGS: Oh, no.

Don't ask me to fetch that stick.

Don't you tell me that!

Don't.

Don't.

Due to my position in the mayoral household

Due to the stress of the operation.

DUKE: Was that your daily meal?

During a hotly contested re election year.

Editor Hiroshi, please extend my subscription

Effective immediately.

Elected leader of Megasaki City.

Engine failure, and

Escape!

Escape!

Escape! Escape!

Even at this moment, as a captive prisoner

Even if we didn't get to vote and agree to it yet:

Exactly. And the answer is: Death Penalty.

Extortion, intimidation, and violent force.

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

Fear has been mongered.

Fetch i!

Finally, in the wake of an Act of God, they escaped

For a thousand years,

For an additional year.

For an undefeated high school baseball team. (SNEEZES)

For any reason whatsoever!

For Canine Desaturation.

For his own protection

For me, personally but who knows?

For nearly a decade.

For one reason; one reason only:

For Snout fever in Uni Prefecture.

For the Dog Flu germ.

For their own good; and also: ours.

Friendship, eternity, and a black owl.

From this article of damaged aviation equipment.

From when I heard that rumor.

Frost on window pane.

Garbage, trash, scraps of rubbish.

General Yamatachi san,

General Yamatachi? Bring out the replacement pet.

Get him a cup of sewer water, Chico.

Get out of here and don't come back.

Give it to Atari kun.

Give me six months, and I will deliver a serum.

Go ahead, say it. I'm a stray, yeah.

Go to Megasaki City. Find our masters.

GONDO: Spots!

Good boy.

Good luck.

Good night.

Good work. (APPLAUSE)

Good.

Graft and political corruption

Grass, trees, swimming pool. Cartoons on TV.

Gullible masters have been brainwashed.

Hanged himself by his own leash.

Has asked to read a statement to the General Assembly.

Has been cut short before its prime.

Has been kidnapped against his will

Has been placed under house arrest today

Has been sent by overseas special interest groups

Has crippled our moral judgment.

Has deliberately stoked irrational, Anti Dog fear

Has made any effort to do that.

Has reached epidemic proportions.

Have been identified through the use

Have been scavenging

Have betrayed and deceived the citizens

He didn't mean anything by it. He was just being friendly.

He had a very good natured temperament, I'm told.

He has appeared in Oracle's visions.

He has news from the Metropolitan Dumping Grounds.

He looks dead. I have a question.

He looks like me with a pink nose.

He looks worse than anybody.

He lost it in a train crash three years ago.

He probably had it coming. (CHUCKLES)

He said a haiku.

He says: "I have no honor."

He will be rescued promptly, returned to safety,

He will then withdraw from the debate

He would later be known

He'll give the order,

He's a good boy.

He's come from all the way across the island.

He's going to poison us.

He's got Snout fever.

He's not in the dog community.

He's not Spots.

He's nowhere around here.

He's steaming mad!

He's the Doggy Chop dog.

He's the mayor's ward.

Head of the Clenched Fist Gang.

Here I come.

Hey, now, that puddle jumper's flying crooked.

Hey, wait a second.

Hey! The wrong dog died!

High temperature, low blood pressure,

His Assistant Hatchet Man, Major Domo,

His five dog abductors

His misery and...

His name was Fuzzball,

Hmm?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm. I take it one day at a time.

Hmm. What else is new? You should see the other dog.

Hmm...

Holy smokes! My lungs feel clear.

House pets, sick and hungry,

How about you, Chief? What was your favorite food?

How can I be of service to you?

How dare you?

How did this happen?

How did you do that? Secret tooth! Military issue!

How do you know?

How much money do you think the mayor makes?

How to open his dog cage.

However, a small population of savage, aboriginal dogs

However, these rumors remain unconfirmed.

Huh?

Huh?

Humanely to sleep.

Hunk of broken propeller clutch

I am failure.

I am not gonna fight this robot!

I am not your pet. I never liked you.

I am sorry for your loss,

I ask that everything,

I assume you're Spots! We've been looking for you.

I beg your pardon?

I beg your pardon. Ignore that dog.

I believe Municipal Dome propaganda

I bite.

I bite.

I bite.

I call it: Atari's Lantern.

I can do that.

I can hear you. I can hear you.

I can picture it.

I can picture it.

I can see you've been mistreated.

I can't accept that. It's for your dog.

I can't protect you efficiently

I can't say, I'm not a doctor,

I can't smell him.

I can't smell him.

I come from a nine dog litter, but they drowned the sisters.

I could never be persuaded to break that vow

I couldn't get my teeth into him.

I don't believe in masters. I never did.

I don't care about you. I won't wait for you.

I don't care how many exploding teeth

I don't consider it my identity.

I don't even believe in masters.

I don't even know what they taste like.

I don't know why I bite.

I don't know.

I don't know. Anybody.

I don't print hunch.

I don't sit.

I don't think I can stomach any more of this garbage.

I dug my way out by morning,

I enclose a check in the amount of one thousand yen.

I got a question for you.

I got adopted before I could

I guess he scared me.

I have a hunch.

I have ever come to know

I have new obligations which I never anticipated!

I have spent much of my time in recent weeks

I heard they don't even make them anymore.

I heard you were cannibal dogs.

I hereby cancel and nullify

I hope I'll see you again.

I just heard there might be

I leave all my worldly possessions.

I like to think she cooked it

I lost all my spirit. I'm depressing.

I mean, I think you mated

I mean, who tells them to you?

I must ask you to relieve me of the duties of my position,

I need to prove my conspiracy theory!

I never heard it. What rumor?

I only ask for what I've always had:

I probably inherited it from her.

I promise: a final and permanent end

I propose we start tomorrow, first light.

I said I wasn't always a stray.

I say: the cycle of life

I see.

I should've kept my mouth shut.

I starred in 22 consecutive Doggy Chop commercials.

I stole it off the dead skeleton.

I swore an oath when I assumed the responsibilities

I think he was made of stainless steel.

I think I might give up.

I think I'm going to say good night.

I thought you knew all about me.

I turn my back

I understand he made a lot of friends.

I used to sleep on a lamb's wool bean bag

I want my master.

I was a show dog.

I was always a street dog, let's face it.

I was bred as a show dog.

I was groomed for that purpose.

I was the lead mascot

I wouldn't bring puppies into this world.

I, uh, love gossip.

I... I don't... I don't know.

I'll always be loyal to you

I'll be protecting your welfare and safety

I'll spell it out.

I'll tell you when I get to know you better.

I'm against the little pilot, remember?

I'm Chief.

I'm Chief. (CLEARS THROAT) That's my name.

I'm doing it because I feel sorry for you.

I'm introducing myself. Who are you?

I'm just saying that I recognize you

I'm not a violent dog.

I'm not attracted to tame animals.

I'm not doing this because you commanded me to.

I'm not easy to trap.

I'm not supposed to be his friend,

I'm standing by, Master Atari.

I'm supposed to be juggling

I'm supposed to be spinning a nine pound bowling ball

I'm telling you: I don't fetch.

I'm the one that tried to make you

I'm this close, dammit.

I'm truly sorry. I had no idea.

I'm used to left overs. ALL: Hmm.

I'm your older brother by five minutes.

I've become the leader of a tribe of outcasts

I've been hunted by dog catchers all my life.

I've gone to find my dog.

I've got a crush on you.

I've never been offered a Puppy Snap in my life.

I've only got three captures on my record

I've seen cats with more balls than you dogs.

If I survive, ignore this message.

If Spots has preceded me into the next life,

If we don't drown, I'm going to strangle you myself.

If we get separated, which we are:

If you care to observe.

IGOR: Hmm... Hmm.

In a glass compactor the day before yesterday.

In a high velocity trash processor

In a series of first rate articles

In a sluice channel

In all my dozen years on this earth.

In an extra security lock cell.

In excess of ten times the maximum dosage required

In order to promote a secret campaign

In other words,

In other words: I'm your dog.

In severe distress over Sapporo River.

In the area, you know,

In the event of the death,

In the Far away Cuticles, beyond the Middle Fingers.

In the first place to help you.

In the form of a highly trained bodyguard dog

In the history of corporate technology

In the tool shed with the lights out.

Incarcerated animals here on the premises

Including my own bones and Spots' carcass,

Inter stitched by zig zagging pipe lines

Into a metropolitan city center,

Into the possession of the Committee

Is cruel and unscientific.

Is the new mayor of Megasaki City!

Is this... Is this the serum?

Issues emergency orders

It cools the head and warms the dog bones.

It gave me some time to think.

It is also about nature, love,

It may be too late, already;

It may snow tonight.

It might not even be worth the trouble.

It was a big family.

It wasn't my choice.

It will not amount to much pollution in this sad land.

It's against my principles.

It's all hearsay.

It's been a long time, Chief.

It's full of toxic chemicals.

It's got an extra security lock on it.

It's just a bit further up here on the left.

It's not true, by the way.

It's okay. (SIGHS)

Jumped on the back of a dump truck,

JUPITER: Every pet in the Trash Island Camp will die.

Just please follow us.

Just to be certified.

King, Duke, Boss? You attack the three dog catchers.

KING: A center cut Kobe rib eye, seared,

KING: Got it. Get ready to jump.

KING: Hmm. Duke? DUKE: Ah, green tea ice cream.

KING: I suppose if it was working right,

KING: It was my birthday supper. Every year.

KING: Mmm hmm.

KING: Mmm. Used to be.

KING: Not sure. Can you remind me?

KING: Okay, I got a question. What's your favorite food?

KING: On it. I'll guard the little pilot.

KING: Spots, whoever he is,

Known as the Kobayashi Dynasty,

Kobayashi is his distant uncle.

Last dose.

Last week, I nearly be handed

Leading to a radio active land fill

Let's go.

Let's hope that new kidney works.

Let's just open the sack first and see what's actually in it.

Let's open his helmet

Let's take a vote!

Let's take a vote. All in favor say "Aye".

Like a pack of maniacs,

Look at it that way.

Look at me now. I couldn't land an audition.

Luck and good fortune be unto you.

MAN: ♪ I've lost all of my pride ♪

Many months ago,

Master Atari san,

Master Atari, are you willing to accept my brother Chief

Master Atari, whose death, I think we can say,

Master Atari... Can you hear me?

May I join you?

Maybe everybody else just got crushed,

Maybe if I get to know you better.

Maybe it was just more left overs. But...

Maybe it's because of that

Maybe.

Maybe. Learned any new tricks?

Mayor Kobayashi asks for your prayers, your condolences

Mayor Kobayashi has directed Major Domo

Mayor Kobayashi has dog's blood

Mixed into a bowl of broken Puppy Snaps

Mmm hmm.

My belly feels funny.

My commands and instructions and so on.

My compliments. (APPLAUSE)

My equilibrium feels balanced.
