When Dubowksi saw his dogs meekly following Curly, the cigar fell out of his mouth. From the top of the fence, Si yelled, “Atta boy, Curly. You sure have a way with mean dogs.”

“They’renotmean,justmisunderstood,” mumbled Curly.

“Hey, you stupid dogs,” growled Dubowski. “What do you think you’re doing? I told you to sic ’em.” He cuffed one of them on the ear and it yelped.

“Don’thitthemagainorI’llhavetogetroughwithyou,” Curly warned him.

Dubowski walked over to Curly and balled up his fists. “They’re my dogs and I’ll treat ’em any way I want to.”

Curly looked at the dogs and mumbled, “Okay-guysgogethimbutnobodilyharm.”

The dogs started growling and moving toward Dubowski, who backed up, looking terrified.

“Ihopeyoucanrunreallyfast,” mumbled Curly.

With a scream, Dubowski took off running, and the dogs flew after him.

Si and Meese jumped down from the fence and ran over to join Curly.

Si said, “Okay, let’s get out of here while the getting is good.”

He made a move to leave, but Meese refused to budge.

“Meese, let’s go before that guy gets back. I’m sure he just loves me because he could see what a great wheeler-dealer I am, but I don’t think he likes you very much.”

“Give me the twelve dollars,” said Meese.

“What?”

“The twelve dollars, give it to me.”

Si handed him the money, and Meese laid it on the ground and put it a stone on it so it wouldn’t blow away.

“What are you doing?” asked Si.

“Paying for this.” Meese picked up the blue suede car seat.

Si beamed. “Meese, you do think it’s true, don’t you?”

“I don’t know, but if Elvis Presley did sit his butt on this thing, I guess it’s worth twelve bucks.”

The three streaked away while Irvin Dubowski ran screaming around the junkyard, the dogs right behind him.
