THE GREAT SOCK MYSTERY

Written by: Peter K. Hirsch --- Storyboard by Stéphanie Gignac

Buster Baxter: (V.O.) The Great Sock Mystery.

Pal: (howling)

(We now return to the story)

#

Pal sits next to Kate's playpen staring at it.

Mrs. Read: D.W., relax. They're just playing.

Pal: She ruined my concentration. I was so close to making a hole large enough for you to escape.

Kate: That's all right. We'll try again later.

#

Pal confronts Nemo about D.W.'s missing sock.

Pal: Give me back that sock you stole.

Nemo: But I didn't steal any sock.

Pal: Then how do you explain this?    He coughs up a brown hair.

Nemo: Ew, what is it?

Pal: It's your hair. I found it in our laundry room.

Nemo: That's not my hair. It's brown. My fur is black and white. Are you colorblind?

Pal: As a matter of fact, I am.

#

Amigo shows Pal the Fur Mason's sock market.

Pal: This is amazing. But how does all this help people?

Amigo: It's very complicated. Ah, here's someone who can explain it to you. Good evening, Mr. Greenspaniel. My friend here wants to know what the purpose of the sock market is.

Mr. Greenspaniel: Our challenge is to ensure that the extending favorable macroeconomic performance bolster the capabilities of all to share in the prosperity that is being generated.

Pal: I didn't understand a word he said.

Amigo: Actually no one does. All I know is we take their socks, they buy more. It's good for the economy.

#

D.W. plays with a sock puppet made out of the other sock.

Pal: She misses it so much, she's pretending that the other one is alive.

#

Pal and Kate want to buy the sock back from Mr. Toad.

Pal: Is that a hot dog in your mouth?

Mr. Toad: 100% pure beef, kid! A cat in the deli gets them for me cheap.

#

Kate: How about this? I think it's called "money."       She holds up a five dollar bill.

Mr. Toad: Nah, found a ton of that stuff at the Crosswire place. Used it to wallpaper my pad.

Kate: What about this nice shiny set of keys?             She holds up a set of keys.

Mr. Toad: Is it to a motorcar?

Kate: Um. I'm not sure. What's a „motorcar“?

Mr. Toad: Na, I'm not supposed to drive anyway.

Kate: How about a woogle?

Mr. Toad: Ta! Please! That fad went out with the nineties.

Kate: All right. What about this almost new delicious cherry lolli-  She notices that she's holding an empty lollipop stick.   Pal!   Pal spits out the lollipop end.
