Sure. Hop on.

The big one's Chubby.

The one with the bows is Dolly.

The brown one's Tchaikovsky, and

the small one's Mo. And, uh, I'm Ted.

Hi, Tchaikovsky.

So, uh, can I

buy you a Coke?

- Aren't I a little tall for you?

- Well, uh, not for me.

- Aren't you a little short?

- Well, height's just temporary.

When you wake up in the morning,

you're a little taller.

- Right?

- No.

See ya.

- Down there.

- Thanks.

- Did ya find him?

- Yeah.

All right,

watch this one.

Hello there.

Uh, Dad, this is Seth.

Um, he gave me a ride in from town.

- How long you had that bike?

- A couple years.

Splitting wood?

Yeah. Gotta be

careful with those.

Yeah.

Nice meeting you.

You like that guy?

I don't know.

What do you think?

Yeah, fine.

- You like his earring, though, right?

- Oh, I love his earring.

I'm gonna get a pair

for each ear.

Okay. If he asks me to marry him,

I'll tell him I need a little more time.

Marry him.

- Mom, can I ask you a question?

- Sure.

Did you ever like two guys

at one time?

Yeah, I did.

How did you end up choosing Dad?

Well, Daddy was a...

Oh, my God.

He made me laugh. That's for sure.

Okay, honey. All right.

Oh, dear. Okay.

All right, honey. Okay.

All right. You know

you're gonna fall. I'm gonna fall.

Honey, please.

- Is that you?

- Hi.

What are you doin' here?

- We were just taking a walk.

- Well, come on up. I'll show ya around.

Uh, I don't know.

It's kind of late.

Come on! Come on!

You might wanna tie

that fur ball up.

- Would you like a beer?

- No, just water, please.

- Hey, relax. Have a beer.

- No, I don't drink.

How do you know that?

I mean, maybe you do drink,

but you just don't know it yet.

Look, she doesn't wanna drink,

she doesn't wanna drink.

Hey, gentlemen,

what time is it?

It's brewski time!

You know, I probably should be

getting home pretty soon.

He'll be fine.

I promise.

Just come upstairs and see the view.

Just for a second.

Come on.

Come on.

Okay. Just for a second, though.

You know what's so strange

is that I just had a dream about you.

Has that ever happened? You dream about

somebody and then you run into them?

Hey, a dog.

You want a beer, big guy?

He said yes.

Oh, no!

- That's cool!

- That's cool!

Oh, yeah!

Oh, my gosh.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Hey, remember that time

we kissed in my car?

I still think about that.

Oh, this is gonna be great.

Um, we should probably

go back down to the party.

Did you lock the door?

Hey, puppy!

Taylor, this isn't funny.

Just unlock the door.

Ryce, relax. This is gonna be

an experience you're never gonna forget.

Whoa!

Aaaah!

Hey, Taylor, great party!

Thanks, Beethoven!

Dear God, we have these puppies,

and we really, really, really love them.

And Daddy says when they get bigger,

we have to give them away.

And I know you're

really busy and everything...

but I was wondering

if you might be able to make it...

so they could just

stay puppies forever.

Then we could keep them.

Thank you.

It was like my favorite day of the year.

They had this roller coaster.

The Pippin;

I loved it.

TheJackrabbit,

that was another one.

These French fries are fantastic.

I'm gonna get some more.

- Aren't you full after that breakfast?

- It's a vacation.

You're supposed to pig out. Fudge!

George, slow down.

- Can I go on some of the rides?

- Sure. Ted, will you take her?

- Oh, sure, but I need some money.

- Now stay together.

- Should we leave the dog?

- We won't be that long. She'll be fine.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Hey, give me those.

- What are you gonna do, string bean?

- They're mine.

- Ah, used to be. Not anymore.

- Give them back.

- If you want 'em, come and get 'em.

- Give 'em back. They're mine!

- Hey!

Hey, what, shorty?

- You wanna see what my dog can do?

- What?

My dog. I wanna show you

what he can do.

Beethoven, sit.

Oh, I'm impressed... not!

Now bug off!

One more.

Beethoven, bark.

You wanna get your face crushed, shrimp?

Get lost!

Last one.

I promise.

Beethoven...

bite this guy in the wiener.

I think these are yours.

Thanks, Ed.

Ted.

That was really cool, Ted.

Still wanna get that Coke?

Sure. But I'm buyin'.

Come on, kid.

Four balls for a buck.

Thank you, sir.

- Hey.

- Hey, Ryce. How's it goin'?

- Pretty good.

- You here with your parents?

Yeah. You know,

family togetherness time.

My dad's like,

"Hey, you wanna play some Scrabble?"

With my dad it's,

"You wanna get up and go hunting?"

- Here you go.

- Oh, thanks.

Well, I'll see ya later.

Um, hey, do you wanna go

on a picnic or something?

- Sure.

- Great.

- I have to ask my dad, though.

- Oh.

Well, your dad will say no. He thinks

I'm a dumb, unsophisticated hick.

- No, he doesn't.

- No, it's okay.

He just doesn't know me yet.

Once he gets to know me, he'll think

I'm a smart, unsophisticated hick.

- I like your bear.

- Oh, you like my bear?

- Yeah.

- I won it just for you.

- Miss, could I have two popcorns?

- Here you go.

- I'll have another order of these.

- Hey, Dad! Dad, great news!

- Great nachos!

- We entered you in this cool contest.

Oh, no. I couldn't possibly

do anything physical right now.

You don't have to do anything.

You just sit there.

Beethoven's gonna help you.

What kind of contest is it

where you just sit there?

And now, teaming man

and man's best friend...

our seventh annual Burger Binge.

Team number one:

Arthur Lewis and Wolfgang!

And in second position,

champions for three years running:

Cliff Klamath and Jaws.

Ya hungry, Cliff?

I'm starving, Steve.

And in third position,

let's give a nice warm welcome...

to a couple of out-of-towners:

George Newton and Beethoven.

We got just one simple rule.

The team that eats the most burgers

in three minutes wins.

Contestants!

Are you ready?

Are you set?

Go!

Dad, come on!

Go, Dad!

Come on, Dad! Come on!

Hey, wimp!

Where's your appetite?

He's not a wimp!

He's my dad!

Hey, look at that slobber

on that Saint Bernard's mouth!

- Yeah, drool face!

- Drool face!

- Drool face! Drool face! Drool face!

- Wimp! Wimp!

Let's go, big fella!

All right!

There we go!

Go! Go! Hey, look!

We're in the homestretch.

Got seconds to go!

Ten, nine...

eight, seven...

six, five, four...

three, two...

Good boy, Beethoven.

Now we determine the winner.

And with only

three burgers left...

the winners are

George Newton and Beethoven!

Yeah! All right!

- Way to go! All right, Dad!

- You did great, honey.

Congratulations, Beethoven.

You, too, Beethoven.

Isn't this entertaining,

hicks and their dogs.

- Are you okay?

- I'm fine. I'm fi...

Whoa!

- Floyd, go check on Missy.

- She's fine.

Look, I got a feeling.

Just go check on her.

All right.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Oh, no.

Oh, you gotta be
