A Dog's Purpose Page #6
nice to meet people, but...
No, also I should just
study alone 'cause...
Slow down. Slow down.
My legs are barely even legs.
Ugh!
I feel like such an idiot.
I learned quickly
that even though Maya
talked all the time,
she was a lot like Carlos.
There was no one else
in our pack.
Just Maya and me.
But I'm starting to get her.
Actually, I can read her mind.
You know what I'm thinking?
-Chips.
-Chips.
You know what I'm thinking?
-Pizza.
-Pizza.
Please. Pizza.
-Hey, Chris.
-Hi.
Here you go.
Thank you. Bye.
-You ready?
-I am ready.
You know what I'm thinking?
Ice cream.
It's ridiculous,
but sometimes
I actually think
you know what I'm thinking.
Ice cream,
ice cream, ice cream.
Ugh. Do you know, I'm spending
way too much time alone.
You want to go get
some ice cream?
You read my mind.
I think this is it, tino.
I think it's just gonna
be you and me.
I-i don't know.
It's fine, right?
Because I love you
and you love me, and...
Love is all that matters.
It's not like it matters
where you get your love.
As long as something
loves you, right?
Can I have some more?
Oh, you're so sweet.
You're so cute.
Hi. I love you.
Why can't you be
my boyfriend, huh?
Why can't you
give me more ice cream?
--Okay, one more to go.
What's with
these white-coat people
sticking me with sharp things?
Now, do you feed him
at regular times?
Pretty regular. Mm-hmm.
What do you give him?
Food.
Dog food. What?
Maybe give him more exercise.
Go on more walks.
Sure.
Shots. I hate those shots.
Okay, tino.
Let's do this, huh?
Doctor's orders.
Come here.
All right, get the ball.
A long walk, and now
I have to chase a ball?
Get the ball.
Come on.
Why was I being
punished like this?
Tino, come on.
You're a dog.
Get... chase the ball.
Chase it.
-Come on, tino.
-Lucky.
Tino, this is embarrassing,
okay?
-Just, come on.
-Sorry, not today.
-Get the ball.
-I'm not in the mood.
And then I saw her.
And everything changed.
My heart was aflutter.
What a catch.
Tino, bring it back to me.
Are you feeling
what I'm feeling?
Hey, I'm sorry.
My dog's acting so weird today.
-No, it's okay.
-Come on, boy. Let's go.
Come on, are you
gonna chase this?
Hey.
-Wait a minute.
-Oh. Hey.
You-you, uh...
You and I both have, uh,
professor kenter.
Right. Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah.
-Wow.
I'm-I'm al.
Oh. Okay, I'm Maya.
-Nice to meet you.
-I'm sorry. You know...
Maya was talking,
but I didn't listen.
It's cool. I...
No, I, understand.
So he's, like,
Why fight it?
all the time.
For some reason,
al always came, too.
It wasn't long before...
We slept together.
I'm really starting
to get it now.
If there's a point,
roxy is the point.
Wait. What's going on?
Um, Maya?
There's been something
on my mind
that I've been wanting
to talk to you about.
Oh, I recognize
that sweaty smell.
We've been together
for a while now.
And, um...
--Maya, I want you
to be my wife.
-Al! Oh, my god!
-Something's wrong here.
-Yes!
-Maya's in trouble.
Yes! Yay! Come here!
- Oh, honey, yes!
- Yeah.
There is danger.
Get behind me, roxy.
I'll protect us all!
- Whoa!
Oh! Al!
Okay. I got tino.
I got tino. I got tino.
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold on!
-Aah!
-Oh!
No, roxy. Stop it!
Okay. Mom, hold the...
Hold these.
Okay, come here. Come here.
Come on. Come here.
-Yeah, okay.
-Okay, uh, I think we're ready.
-Okay, let's do this.
Okay, perfect. -Yes!
-Okay.
-Okay. Ready.
You're jealous because
fallon's had her baby,
and that's made you
even more paranoid.
Hmm. Okay, Alexis gonna
get her butt whupped
-she keep running off
the mouth like that. -Right?
-'Cause krystle's not gonna
take much more of this. -Uh-uh.
- I haven't.
- This is crazy.
-Ooh!
-I told you. I told you.
Oh, my gosh.
- What?
- Oh, get her, krystle.
- Mmm!
- Oh, my gosh.
What's all that noise
in her stomach?
-Was it something she ate?
Yo, they trying
to kill each other.
-Oh!
-What?
Oh, no.
-It was a baby.
-Al:
Is she breathing?You gotta relax, honey.
She's breathing, okay?
Uh, maybe we should
wake her up just to be sure.
I didn't understand
why they got a baby.
It took all their attention.
Good thing roxy and I already
had everything we needed.
- -Each other.
Hey, baby.
Then they went
and got more babies.
Seemed like a mistake to me.
Soon, I had to live
my life on the run.
Found him!
There was no escape.
I let them do
what they wanted to me.
I'd do anything
so that roxy could be safe.
That was my mission:
To protect her at all times.
I guess,
if I was really honest,
I liked all the attention.
Boo!
As roxy and I got older,
our connection grew stronger.
And she never lost the spark
that drew me to her
in the first place.
One day, roxy went to the vet.
And she never came back.
- Look at me! Look at me!
- Oh!
Everyone was good to me.
But as the years went by,
I missed roxy.
It just wasn't the same
without her.
Hey, tino.
Hey, tino.
You know what I'm thinking?
Yes.
I know what you're thinking.
Pizza.
Ugh.
No?
No pizza?
I'm not hungry.
Okay.
Tino...
What are you thinking?
Hmm?
What are you thinking?
Tino, what are you thinking?
I'm thinking I'm ready.
One of my best lives, really.
I'm back.
Again.
But why?
-Puppies! -Want a puppy?
-Hey there, little fella.
-Puppies for sale!
-Want to buy one?
Who wants a puppy?
Hi!
Oh!
Here we go again.
- Look what I got. Huh?
Man;
Yeah, I am looking.
Look how cute he is.
You know, it's-it's crazy.
Who's gonna take care of him?
I will.
Come on.
I named him waffles.
Not inside.
Come on.
I kept telling her
you were going to get bigger.
Not so into you now, is she?
I never went anywhere.
I never played.
It was like the days
went on and on without me.
You have 30 days
to deal with this.
When the officer came,
I thought it was to take me
to do find-and-show.
But she left without me.
He's dirty.
We're getting rid of him.
We are not
going to get rid of that dog.
That's enough!
We're getting rid of him.
I took him in here, and
we're gonna take care of him.
You'll make sure he finds
a nice home, right?
Somebody responsible?
Yeah.
Come on. Out.
Move it.
Let's go. Come on.
Move.
So long, doggie.
Now I'm supposed to walk home?
That didn't seem very fair.
I didn't want to go back
to that home.
Come on. Over here.
- Look, mom.
That looks like fun.
Sit. Sit. You like that?
It's been so long
since I've had fun.
Where is she going?
Do I know you?
- -There's something about you.
It's... your smell.
Aw.
You're a scruffy one.
Are you lost?
- Where are you from?
You got a collar?
I know that smell.
Don't be afraid.
It's... from a long time ago.
-Had I been here before?
I was so happy
to leave the town behind.
My nose was full
