There you go.

There he is!

That's the thief!

- Who?

- Stay here.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Reg! Wait!

We're right behind you!

There he goes.

Push.

You gotta quit

smoking, pal.

It's empty!

There's no money!

This ain't right. Johnny said

we was in this together.

Why'd he rat me out?

Johnny?

J...

Jonathan Simmons?

Michelangelo.

What are you doing here?

Good boy. Stay.

Stay there.

It's all right. Yes.

Good boy. Stay.

Stay.

Good boy.

- Oh, no.

- Well?

- I put it right here. It's gone!

- Oh, no.

This class's valedictorian...

is one in a million.

A champion among canines.

Noblest of a noble breed.

Beethoven, front and center.

- All right, Beethoven!

- All right!

All right.

Come on.

He reminds me of a dog

I knew during the war.

A stalwart pup.

Brave, loyal, true.

And so, without

any further ado,

How much more ado

can there possibly be?

it is my pleasure to introduce

this class's valedictorian,

and an outstanding trouper,

Beethoven!

Get organized. Stop that!

Watch out!

Sit! Down!

For gosh sakes, people,

you're acting like animals!

- Cease and desist!

- Look out!

At ease!

You little flea bag!

Whoa!

Look out!

Help!

Whoa!

Michelangelo!

Where are you,

Michelangelo?

Where are you?

Michelangelo!

Beethoven!

Where are you going?

Oh.

Sara, bring me the leash.

Ow! Ooh!

Ow, get your nose out of there!

Dogs, you...

Easy. Oop!

Beethoven, don't ever

run away like that.

That was weird.

F.B.I., Simmons.

Hold it right there.

Uh-oh.

You got him?

Well, excellent work, detectives.

You mean,

excellent work, brother.

Right, brother?

Hah! Ratted you back.

You always were

a selfish,

smelly little man.

And I thought we were

in this together.

Well, you thought wrong.

Hey, hey!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Why did you do it?

Do you remember

SedgePro 97?

Are you kidding me?

It's the only piece of software

I ever created.

That lost millions

for our investors.

Of which I was one.

Oh. Sorry.

Madison, I'm sure

the agents will find him.

You don't even

really care.

He's just some

investment to you.

I heard you tell Daddy.

Michelangelo loves me more

than anybody else in the world.

Maybe even more than you.

Oh, Madison,

that's not true.

It's just that we've

forgotten how to show it.

Michelangelo?

Michelangelo!

May I have the leash

for him?

"What is it about this dog,"

you may ask,

"that merits this honor?"

Well, I can sum it up

in one word:
;

"A"... discipline;

two... obedience,;

and "D"...

overlooking

any temptations...

that may pass

right in front of his nose.

- Uh, Sgt. Rutledge...

- At ease, son. I'm on a roll.

- But I got...

- Just... Mmmm!

Just remember:
;

Until your dog is

properly trained,

never let go of the leash.

Uh-oh. Ah-ooh!

Beethoven!

Yeah. His old self again.

What a card this'll make.

That's our dog!

Beethoven!

No.
