(The three dogs in a clearing.)

Juno: This is awful! Fritz and Emily and Abigail, leaving us?

Fangs: Well, I guess island life just isn't for everyone.

Juno: But they can't just leave us! They're our family!

Fangs: Juno, it's going to be alright. You'll still have Franz and Jacqui. And Turk, of course.

Turk: Nope!

Fangs and Juno: What?

Turk: I'm going too!

Juno: Seriously?

Turk: Yeah, I figured it's been long enough, and they'll need some company on board ship. Besides, I'm ready for some real food again. I mean, really, seven years without a proper crumpet! I've got to go back.

Juno: I don't believe this.

Turk: I'm sorry, I really am, but it's all for the best.

Fangs: (Seeing Juno's distress) Turk - please.

Juno: Why does this all have to happen so soon?

Fangs: Juno, you know the three humans will be better off going back. Humans need a lot of other humans to cope with life. It's just a sad part of being one of them.

Juno: I know. I feel so bad for them.

Fangs: They'll be fine. And so will we.

Juno: I hope so.

Fangs: (putting a paw around her) Everything's going to be alright.

Juno: Thanks.
