Agency Worker: Listen up, everybody. No cat calls today, just dogs. *whistle blowing*
(Many dogs storm into the agency, As the cats depart, as Tom's Double complains)
Tom's Double: I gotta find some acting work. I'm not spending another night sleeping in the alley.
(While walking down the alley, the Tom's lookalike hears that a fight is going on nearby)

Toodles Galore: Late again, Tom! (She slaps him and walks away in disgust.)
Tom's Double: Hey, buddy, you look like you had a hard day. Trouble at home? Your girl throw you over? Local dog hassling you?
Tom: *nods his head for yes*
Tom's Double: I got a proposition. For the measly price of today's room and board, I can be your double. A lookalike that takes on all your daily grief. 'Cause I'm a pro, I can take it. I can do stunts, martial arts, fancy footwork. You name it.

Tom Double: Is this the best you can do?
(He lets the mouse run only to make Jerry hit a metal tray, which was used to cover the mouse hole. Tom's lookalike covers half-conscious Jerry with a saucepan and performs as a drummer. When Jerry regains consciousness, the cat offers him to give advantage in running away.)
Tom Double: Tell you what I'll do. I'll give you a ten-second head start.
(Jerry agrees and heads to the hotel's roof. Unfortunately for Jerry, his opponent has been waiting for him and easily grabs the mouse.)
