Why do you never report any of the good stuff that I’m doing, huh, Sarah?
If I’m gonna get on a real network, Chief, I got to report the big stories.

No one’s ever liked me.
Even back when I was in the school.
[whimpering]: All the other fish, they used to call me… [sniffles] Fatty Fish Face.
Imagine that.
Fatty Fish Face! [whimpers]
LI’L PETEY: Maybe, Flippy…
Maybe you just need a friend.
Oh, yeah.
I got something that’ll cheer you up.
[scoffs] What’s that?
Your manifesto?
I made you a book.
Do you want to read it?
[sighs]
Yeah, okay. Sure.
[yelps, whimpers]
LI’L PETEY: “Flippy and me flew up to a star.
“They had a swing set, so we swinged on it.
“I fell off, but Flippy saved me.
“Flippy and me went under the sea.
“Then we ate five soups.
The end.”
Did you like it?
[whimpers]
[sobbing]
Oh, you poor little thing.
[shushing] There, there, now.
Oh, no. My powers.
My evil powers… they’re fading.
Isn’t that good?
Not for RoboCat.
PETEY: N-N-No! Wait! Don’t!
BOTH: Oh, no.
Dog Man. Dog Man?
[screaming]
[whimpers]
[distorted gasping]
Whoa! [screams]

[screams, sighs]
Good job, 80HD.

This is Sarah Hatoff on the scene as the chief arrests Flippy the Fish.
♪ ♪
Oh.
Flippy the Fish, I hereby arrest you for the following things.
Yeah, yeah, no need to list it all.
I’m familiar.
SARAH: Hey, Chief.
Smile.
Oh.
Well done, Dog Man. You did it.
Well, go on, arrest him.
[vehicle approaches, door opens]
Dog Man, wh-what are you…
MAYOR: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What are you doing?
The governor saw the whole thing.
Petey’s been pardoned for being a dogooder.
Wait. “Cerealously”?
And I’m not just saying that because it’s an election year.
[laughs] Where are the cameras?
[chuckles]
[sighs] Okay.
Well, Petey, looks like you turned out to be a dogooder after all.
Dogooder?
Can it, fish!
He’s a dogooder!
[cheering] All right, stop! Stop calling me a dogooder.
I’m not a dogooder.
I’m not, see?
I’m mean. I’m selfish.
And I… I just want everything for myself.
Which… which includes Li’l Petey.
Come on, Li’l Petey.
[Dog Man grunts softly]
Okay, Papa.
Well, this is goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Goodbye, Dog Man.
[whimpers]
Well, hey, how about a celebration, huh?
Let’s all go back to the station, completely ignoring the fact that half the city is destroyed.
[explosions]
[people screaming] Come on, boo.
[tires squealing]
Hey, that’s Grampa.
Whoa.
[Grampa cackling]
PETEY: What?
LI’L PETEY: Where’s he going?
Where’d he get that truck?
Beats me.
[gasps]
LI’L PETEY: Where’s all our stuff?
PETEY: Not again.
[sniffling]
He took everything, but he didn’t want my comics?
[sighs]
Kid, it’s not you.
Some people just won’t change.
[doorbell rings]
PETEY: “Undo”?

Never.
Let’s go. We can’t stay here.
[insects chirring]
You were right, Papa.
About what?
The world.
It’s nothing but mud puddles and pollution and weeds.
Look. Even the weeds are dying.
Hmm.
Hey, kid.
What?
Look up.
You want to know something, kid?
What, Papa?
This world has a lot of problems, but it can never be a horrible place.
‘Cause you’re in it.
Hey, Papa?
So is Dog Man.

[clock ticking]
[knocking]
[whines] Hey, Dog Man.
[whines]
Look, I know we’re archrivals and all, but, uh, I…
I was thinking.
Maybe Li’l Petey could stay with you sometimes?
Ruff, ruff.
[gasps, howls]
[panting]
LI’L PETEY: Yay!
[Li’l Petey giggling]
Oh, yeah. We got you something.

[barking excitedly]
PETEY: No.
Not the mouth. [spits] Get off!
[groans] Stop. Get off before I change my mind.
Come on, Papa.
Let’s have some fun.
Nah, you guys go ahead.
I’m gonna go back to the lab and start over, I guess.
But…
I’ll be fine.
