A Dog's Purpose Page #2
Well, they want him
in the field.
He's one of the top sellers
every year.
I got the job nobody wants.
Jim, do you have to?
from nuclear annihilation.
Uh, can me and Bailey
be excused?
Sure.
Ethan was sad.
I didn't know why.
Hey, Bailey.
Captain America, remember?
He could take out that bomb
in a second.
Pow!
Zap!
Oh, you like it, don't you?
Whoa.
Come on. Come on.
Yeah, boy. Oh!
Okay, Bailey.
Get it, boy!
Whoo! Come on!
Yeah, boy! Come on.
Come on.
Oh, where'd it go?
Where'd it go? Oh, oh!
Come on, boy! Oh!
What is that?
- Get it, boy!
Oh, come on.
Come on, get it!
We played with that ball
all afternoon. -Yeah! Come on!
-Ethan loved it.
-Good boy!
Get it!
Come on! Come on.
Hey, dad, watch this.
Look what he can do.
Okay, Bailey. Ready?
Ready.
Stay. Okay.
And...
Okay.
Go, Bailey!
Yeah! Out.
That's great, pal.
Thanks, dad.
Hey, hey, come on.
Oh, yes. Yes.
Come on. Come on.
-You have a great day.
-When it got colder outside,
-we all went back home.
-Ethan:
See ya.- He'll be fine. Bye.
- Bye.
Every morning,
a big yellow box with wheels
took Ethan away from me.
When mom left the house, too,
I was lonely.
- -And hungry.
And bored.
-At least they left the cat.
I'd give him his dog lessons.
Ugh. So much to learn.
-No, dogs do not hide
under pillows. -
come on. Come...
Hey, hey.
-Come on, sniff me.
Sniff me!
Ugh!
You don't know anything.
- -Wow.
Oh, Bailey, no.
Hi, dad.
Elizabeth?
-This... this...
-Elizabeth!
Hello?
Hey!
That's my slipper.
Bailey! Bailey!
Come... get back here.
Bailey, no!
Bailey, come here.
- Come here. Come here.
Bailey, come here.
- Give me that.
- When dad was in
the right mood, he was
so much fun to play with.
Come on, let go.
Let go. Let go.
That's not yours, Bailey.
That's mine. That's mine!
You come over here.
Come on!
Ethan, my boss
is coming over tonight,
and he cannot see my office
like this.
Do you understand?
You have got to start
telling this dog who's boss.
Here, take him. Just take him.
And you say, "i am the boss!"
You gotta show him who's boss.
All right, everything goes
back where it belongs.
I want this place
spick-and-span.
Do you understand?
Well, do you understand?
Do you understand?!
-Yes, sir.
-Thank you.
I want everything
just the way I like it.
Spick-and-span.
Why? Because I'm the boss.
That's why.
I'm the boss man,
and you're the boss dog.
Boss dog.
- Boss dog.
Boss dog.
- Boss dog.
Ethan.
Come on. Let's go.
We got guests coming
any minute.
Chop-chop.
Jim?
-What?
-Jim, can you help me?
-Huh? -I don't know how
to make a Singapore sling.
What?
Oh, I'll show you.
I can make a whiskey cobbler.
Wait, here's the recipe.
Elizabeth, what are you...
What are you doing?
Well, we need spirit...
Saint-gaudens
1907 golden eagle.
Real gold.
No! Hey!
Ethan was good to me.
-Boy! No!
Do you have it in your mouth?
Did you swallow it?
-Wasn't my favorite treat.
-Come on, show me.
-And he wanted it back.
-Come on, come on.
-Why?
We made it.
-Hello! Ellen.
Come in. Welcome.
-Yes.
-I am glad we were finally able
to make it out here,
because I have been wanting
to, uh, visit the field office
for a while now.
Oh, yes, and it's...
It's so nice and...
Quiet out here in the suburbs.
-It sure is. Yeah.
-Yes.
Well, we're happy to have you.
Um, so i-I've been meaning
to say we...
Uh, we're real impressed
with your numbers
this past year, Jim.
Real impressed.
You know, I'm glad
you brought that up.
Uh, I've actually been meaning
to talk to you about that.
You know, i-i was thinking,
with the numbers so high,
maybe it's time
i get off the road
and take an office position.
Well, we... we really
need you on the road.
That's the backbone
of the whole operation really.
I'll be honest, Jim.
You are one of our best
traveling salesmen.
I mean, I would be crazy
to take you out of the field.
Um, are you still
collecting coins?
Oh, sure.
What... what's your showpiece?
1907 Saint-gaudens
golden eagle.
Oh! Well, Herman,
I don't know anything
about coins,
but I know that that
is special.
-That is special.
-That is a treasure.
Yeah, I have never seen one
up close before.
- It's quite a coin.
- Yeah, it's a beauty.
I'll show you.
I'll go get it.
Let me go
get it later.
May I please be excused?
Huh?
May I please be excused?
Need to take Bailey out
for a walk.
Sure, honey.
Go on, do it.
Please, Bailey.
Please, Bailey, do it.
Come on.
What does he want from me?
Come on. Come on.
I really wish I knew
what he was saying.
Go! Go! Come on!
What's your problem?
Come on!
I don't know why he was so
upset, but it made me anxious.
And when I'm anxious, things
kind of move super fast.
This was a first.
I'd never seen him so happy
Yes! Found it!
It's important
it shouldn't be too sweet.
-No, it's nice. Mmm.
-See this?
-Oh.
-Now, this...
-Mm-hmm.
-...That's something
-for your eyes to feast on.
-No!
What?
There's a rat.
-What? -What?
-Right there!
-Where? No, I don't like rats.
-Where?
-Where is it? -It's okay.
-Under the table.
I love rats.
-Yeah, go get it, Bailey.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I don't see
anything. - Where?
- It's running over there.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait!
- Get that dog! Get the dog.
-Get the dog. Get the...
-Bailey!
- I don't see anything.
--Come here.
-It's right there.
-Maybe you saw smokey.
- Definitely not smokey.
- No, it wasn't smokey.
I really don't like rats.
I don't like rats.
It's more scared of you
than you are of him.
-Oh, oh!
-Come here. Come here, Bailey.
-Come here! Come here.
-Can you grab him? Grab him.
-Jim.
-Bailey! Bailey, come here!
Come here!
Wait. Please, Bailey.
- Can you grab him, Jim?
- I don't see anything.
Bailey!
Bailey, come here.
I think it's gone now.
Oh, I don't like rats!
Whoa!
Bailey!
What was that?
Herman!
Bailey, come here!
Come here! Come on!
You got him, Jim?
You got him?
Whoa!
Any chances I had
of a promotion, forget it.
Dad! Dad, stop!
-It's not his fault. It's...
-You made us look like fools!
when he smelled this way.
Don't punish him! My fault!
Jim, why don't we
No, from now on,
he stays out here.
He didn't do anything!
I do not want to see him.
I do not want to see him
in the house.
But it's cold outside.
Well, he's got fur for that.
We should at least
set out a blanket.
It's a dog!
Ethan?
Hey, boy. Good?
I'm so sorry.
It's all my fault.
Even though
I couldn't see him,
I knew Ethan
was very sad that night.
Hey, boy.
Hey.
It's cold out there, isn't it?
I knew he needed me.
And I needed him, too.
You're a good boy.
- Ready, boy?
Okay. Come here.
Come here.
Come on, Bailey.
- Okay, boy. Ready?
Three, two...
