Beethoven's Treasure Tail Page #6

What do you think of that?

What's this?

Mr. Bear?

l didn't think you even liked

to play with Mr. Bear anymore?

At least not since

Billy went away to college...

Oh.

So that's it.

That's what's been the problem all along.

You miss Billy, huh?

I'm sorry, buddy.

You know, l got so caught up

on trying to make you

a movie star,

l forgot that sometimes

you just need to be a dog.

No wonder

you like Sam so much.

Yeah. Sam is a good kid.

And his mom?

She's not so bad either.

But you know what?

Lt doesn't matter.

Because we are going

back to Hollywood,

where we have taxis and

hotels and decaf soy lattes,

and we never have

to hear the words

"O'Malley's Cove" ever again.

Ever.

What?

l brought you

some fresh ice.

Good.

Oh!

No! That hurt. l'm sorry, sir.

Don't touch me.

I'll just go up

and cast us off.

No, no, no, no, no. No, no.

You will do no such thing.

I have these sea monkeys

hooked now.

And all l have to do

is reel them in.

But l thought, after yesterday,

you were gonna

cancel the whole plan?

Don't be so stupid.

The plan is working perfectly,

we just had a little glitch.

A glitch?

The boy and the dog.

Oh!

So, what are we gonna do?

Listen, this is exactly why

l am the criminal mastermind

and you are just the henchman.

First, we get rid of that boy.

And then

Beethoven.

That hurts so much. Aw.

26...27...28.

Come on, Beethoven.

Fifty paces this way.

Hey, where are you going?

No, Beethoven.

This is for Sandra's party.

Sorry. He hasn't had

breakfast yet.

That's okay.

What's that?

It's just my Grandma's shawl.

It's nice.

Uh...

l'm taking it to the cleaners.

To get it cleaned.

It kinda looks like a map.

That's ridiculous.

Are you on one

of your treasure hunts?

Why do you wanna know?

So you can laugh at me again?

I didn't laugh before.

Sam!

Sam! Well, now,

what's all the noise about?

Sam's gone. Oh, l'm sure

he's around here somewhere.

What have you done

with my shawl?

I hung it in the bathroom.

Well, it's not there.

Of course it is, Mom, l

put it there

when l got home last night...

Ah! Well, now where

are you going?

To see a guy about a dog.

lt's that beast.

L know it's that beast.

Are you sure this is it?

lt's what the map says.

Fifteen paces, that way.

But you don't have to come in

if you don't want to.

Who said l didn't wanna come?

Let's go.

1 1... 1 2... 1 3... 1 4... 1 5.

Thirty paces, that way.

One... Two...

26...27...28...

29... 30.

Maybe you counted wrong?

No, this is it.

Why would you need a map

of an old graveyard anyway?

Beethoven, don't do that.

Come on, leave it alone.

No way.

Nice.

This is my great,

great, great...

A-bunch-of-greats Grandfather.

That isn't a map

to buried treasure,

it's just a map to Patrick

O'Malley's grave.

My mom was right all along.

Dad just made

the whole thing up.

There's no treasure.

There never was.

I'm sorry, Sam.

It doesn't matter.

Let's just get outta here.

Come on, Beethoven.

Sam?

Sam, are you all right?

Yeah.

Can you climb up?

Yeah, l think so.

Keep Beethoven away

from the edge.

I don't want him to...

Sorry.

Yeah, no problem.

Uh...

Just stay where you are.

L'll go find help.

Where am l supposed to go?

You and that dumb story

about my mother's shawl.

Now he's out there searching for

treasure again. Thanks a lot.

Hey, it's not my fault you can't

keep track of your own kid.

Hey, Beethoven.

Where's my dog?

Hey, it's not my fault you can't

keep track of your own dog.

Let's go!

Hello? Anybody up there?

Help!

This is stupid,

nobody can hear us.

What is it, boy?

What have you found?

Oh, it's just an old bone.

That must be him.

That's Patrick O'Malley.

What's in there, Beethoven?

Stupid bats,

get out of here!

Okay.

Let's just stay calm.

I mean, how hard can it be

to find a 1 45 pound dog,

and 1 0-year-old kid carrying

a 200-year-old shawl?

We wouldn't be looking at all

if it weren't for you

bringing up all that

buried treasure crap again.

I'm sorry, but what

is your problem

with your kid having a little

bit of fun in his life?

I don't have a problem with him

having a little bit of fun.

I have a problem

with him doing all these

dangerous things,

maybe getting himself hurt.

Or even worse.

I just can't risk

losing him too.

I'm sorry. l just didn't think that...

Oh, you have cell service?

Yes? Mom?

It's about your son.

Looks kinda scary.

You go first.

You really need to lay

off the dog treats.

Beethoven.

That's the way out.

Spiders?

I'm not scared of spiders.

Beethoven,

please tell me

there's nothing on me.

Run! Let's get out of here!

Come on, Beethoven!

Pick up the pace!

Ew.

This is gross.

If you tell anybody about

me being scared of spiders,

l'll never talk to you again.

Come on.

Gotcha.

That's the dog.

You were right, Sir.

Of course l was.

And now let us go fishing

and get rid of this glitch,

once and for all.

Drive!

So much for buried treasure.

Wish Il'd never seen

this stupid map.

Wait a minute.

Whoa!

This is it.

Double whoa.

Come on, Beethoven. Come on.

Almost there.

Come on. Come on, boy.

Well, don't just

stand there. Help me.

Come on, dig.

Come on.

Come on, dig.

Sam!

Beethoven. Sam!

Sam!

Beethoven.

Okay, we'll find him.

Beethoven! Oh... Sam.

Eddie?

l'm down here.

Are you okay?

Yeah... Yeah. l'm fine.

Yeah, l'm okay.

Ah!

I'm okay.

And l think l know

where they went.

Dig. Dig, dig. Dig!

Keep digging, Beethoven.

I know it's down here

somewhere.

I just know it.

Did you hear that?

Listen.

ls it? ls that...

lt is!

Beethoven, look! We found the

treasure of Patrick O'Malley.

Well, you're half right.

You've found the treasure.

But now,

it's the treasure of Fritz

Bruchschnauser.

This is so exciting.

You can't do this.

Oh, you'd be surprised

of what it is l can do.

You know that

idiotic dog of yours

has given me a lot of trouble.

So l feel it's only fair that l leave

this town with a little something.

Don't you?

Now,

let us see.

Oh!

Yes!

Ooh!

What is it that you

Americans say? Jackpot!

That's what they say!

That's what they say!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, and wait.

Quiet. Shh.

- We are out in the open.

- Close the lid.

Go, go, go.

I win.

I'm the winner.

Good.

Nice doing business

with you, boy.

Oh.

Here is a doubloon for your troubles.

This isn't fair.

L found that treasure.

You know, you should thank me

for teaching you a

valuable lesson so young.

Life is not fair.

Bye-bye.

Oh, yeah? l'll show him fair.

Well, what about

the rest of the plan, sir?

Oh, the rest of the

plan is officially canceled.

Okay, let's go.

Where

should we go next?

Ooh.

Mexico has some lovely

old Aztec ruins

that we could sell

to the tourists.

S, Seor Bruchschnauser.

What? What are you saying?

Nothing. Nothing, sir. Good.

Keep quiet.

Oh! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Oh, no. No.

Spiders!

Get it off! Get if off!

Stop. Stop.

Ls it off? ls it off?
