Beethoven's 3rd Page #4

Brennan, in case you didn't notice.

Okay, okay.

Stop arguing.

We'll make a dog food stop.

Hey, Brenn,

I found your hat.

It was behind the sofa. Now,

how did it get behind there?

- Alarmed. Oh, ho, ho. They're good.

- God!

Hey, why don't you and I

get some coffee over there?

Let them do the shopping.

Okay.

Um, all right, Brennan.

Be sure to get a receipt, and get

enough dog food to get us to California.

Okay?

Right.

Watch after your sister, now.

Hey!

Thanks, Dad.

Okay, kid has the keys.

I will pick his pocket,

deactivate the RV alarm

and grab the disc.

What about that dog? That

stupid dog is still there, Tommy.

It's big doggie

night-night time.

Ha! Oh! I thought I told

you to check for fsh.

I did. I swear.

This has got to be the last one.

Stay here.

I wonder if they have

those doggie power bars here.

Here, you just go get the stuff.

I'm gonna wait out here.

But Dad told you to do it.

Sara, you're old enough.

I think you can handle it.

Yes, I can.

I know this isn't how you

thought the trip would go so far.

It's not how I thought

it would go either.

I just want to say I'm sorry.

Oh, Richard,

it hasn't been that bad.

Okay, it's been bad, but it's

the dog's fault, not yours.

You know, I still think there's

plenty of laughs to be had...

on this vacation if we just

forget about Beethoven.

That's right!

That's it!

That's exactly what we'll do.

We'll forget about Beethoven. Yeah.

Excuse me.

You like Hello Kitty?

Um...

So, Ensign?

Is that your name?

A- Actually, it's Brennan.

Brennan Newton.

- Hi.

- It wasn't mine. It was my little sister's.

I mean, it was

for my little sister's friend.

He's much more entertaining

than Spartacus was on a vacation.

Then again, maybe not.

Haven't I seen you before?

Uh, yeah, I think

we saw each other on the road.

Beethoven!

Dumb dog!

God.

Brennan, are you all right?

That... Uh, I'm fne!

Wait a minute!

What happened? Beethoven just

jumped all over me for no reason!

God, he's messing up

my life!

That's good, honey.

We got to go now.

Mister, is that your dog?

How much?

I'll add it up.

Man's best friend.

Sorry, boy.

Boss' orders.

What's Sumotown?

I don't know. It was Black Bart's

Old-Time Western Town when I was a kid.

- Hi.

- Welcome to Sumotown How many?

Uh, two adults and two kids.

Hey, what happened

to the old-time Western town?

Eh, bankrupt.

We bought it in the early 90s.

Hasn't exactly been a cash cow,

we thought. We're selling off.

You wanna make an offer?

Oh, oh, no, thanks.

We're just gonna catch

the showdown on Main Street.

Hey, there still is

a Main Street showdown, right?

Heck yeah, partner.

Right down there.

What?

It's Black Bart. See the hat?

Can see a lot more than that.

He's gained a few pounds.

Shh.

Boy, this really takes me back.

To where, Dad?

Dad, why is he looking at me?

Black Bart says,

"What did you call me, boy?"

Is he serious?

I didn't say anything?

Well, I think you did, partner.

I think you called him a liar.

Mmm.

Black Bart says...

you are a yellow belly,

lowdown,

gutless,

tenderfoot coward dog.

Are you gonna take that?

Yeah, I am, Dad.

I'm not gonna do that.

No, I'm not gonna...

No! Dad! Dad!

It's only acting, Brennan!

Come on! Come on!

Go, Brennan! Go!

Oh, it's okay, honey.

Honey, they're not hurting him.

Brennan! Brennan!

Brennan!

Brennan! Brennan! Brennan!

No! No!

Don't swing me! No!

I'm gonna get sick!

Yeah!

That a boy! Sumo warrior man!

Tommy,

tell me the truth.

Does this suit

make me look fat?

Whoa!

Listen to me.

Daddy Newton has the key.

We're gonna sandwich him

between our sumo bellies,

and when I'm going, "Sorry, excuse

me," and he's going, "That's okay,"

you pick his pocket,

and you take the key.

What about that stupid dog?

Tommy, I had another

nightmare about him last night.

You are wearing a high-density

foam, fully-naked sumo suit.

You are immune to dogs.

Okay. Blend.

Hey, hey, what's the matter,

pal? What's the matter?

I can't believe you just did that to

me. I've never been this embarrassed.

They were laughing.

They loved it.

They were laughing at me, Dad.

I just thought you'd enjoy doing

something I did when I was a kid.

Dad, this place was lame 30 years

ago, and it's even worse now.

Did you like it

when you were a kid?

Yes.

Yes, of course.

D...

Stop, you idiot.

I'm sorry, Dad,

but this, this whole trip...

has been nothing but Boresville,

and it hasn't even been a week yet.

Thank you.

- Beethoven, no! Stop!

- Beethoven, sit!

Beethoven!

You call that boring?

Beethoven, stay!

What happened? Oh, strangely,

Beethoven ran away again.

Get in! Get in!

I told you we should

have taken your mom's minivan!

Good job.

Come on, Beethoven.

So what did Black Bart say?

I don't know.

He took my check, though. Those

barrels are apparently antique.

It was those guys again.

Here we go again.

The bad guys are following us.

Shut up, Brennan. Brennan,

be nice to your sister.

Sweetheart, remember when you thought that

blanket in the closet was a grizzly bear...

or when you thought the neighbors

were stealing your pajamas?

What's your point, Mom? Honey,

those bandidos werejust actors.

How come no one believes me?

No one

except for you, Beethoven.

Beethoven!

Hey, that's my pack!

- Is that your dog?

- Yeah, sorry.

Actually, he's mine.

Oh, hi, again.

Hi.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I wish we could have brought

our dog on our trip,

but he had to stay in a kennel

till we got back.

A kennel?

That's tough.

I think putting a dog

in a kennel is just... cruel.

That's what I told my parents.

So, I'm Brennan.

I know.

We met before.

Oh, right.

Um, sorry.

It's okay. We kind of

got interrupted before.

Um, I'm Penny.

So where you guys headed?

Some family reunion

in California.

I got another week and a half

stuck in that RV with my family.

Tell me about it. This has been

our most boring vacation ever.

- The worst.

- My dad is on some mission to give us a killer vacation.

I know. My dad's gone

totally insane over this trip.

My whole summer's gone...

wasted.

And by the time I get back, it's

gonna be time for school again.

Yeah, same here.

Well, I'm down there.

Bye.

Bye.

- Good night.

- Good night.

So ask her

for her phone number.

Shut up, Sara.

That's a good idea. Here.

I was gonna ask, you know.

Um, here's my itinerary too.

Maybe we'll stay at the

same place again. Maybe.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Good night.

Bye.

Bye. Let me hold him.

Why? You don't like him.

What are you talking about?

I love dogs.

Especially St. Bernards.

Whatever.
