loves chicken.

Sure. Fine.

Stay there.

Okay.

[whimpering]

Come on, Rainy.

Come on. Let's go.

All right, now,

put him in there.

Could I have

a minute with him?.

[sighs]

Make it quick!

[sighs]

Guess this is where

you'll be staying

for now, boy.

[sighs]

[whimpering]

[melancholy music]

I'm so sorry, Rainy.

I'll miss you so much.

[whimpering]

But, I'll check in, okay?.

Here.

This is where we're going.

It's New York City.

Here's our address.

In case you ever

wanna come to visit

us. Okay?.

And I'm also

leaving this with you.

So, you can play

your favorite song

and never forget me.

[whimpering]

Well, I guess that's it.

[whimpering]

I'll see you again soon.

[whimpering]

I love you, Rainy.

Bye.

[whimpering]

You okay, sport?.

[melancholy music]

(Dad)

Off we go.

(announcer over speakers)

All passengers

to New York City

the train will leave

from Platform Five

in ten minutes.

All passengers

to New York City,

ten minutes.

[train horn]

[lively music]

(Laura)

Look at this. Park A venue,

Rockefeller Center,

Grand T erminal shopping.

This is really

so exciting,

isn't it, boys?.

Well, our lives

are about to change

for the better.

Hey. I got

a surprise for you.

Season tickets

for the Yankees.

I love you, Jimmy.

You're gonna have

to trust me on this.

Come on.

Try and cheer up, son.

I thought we were

near TriBeCa.

Laura's right, Dad.

It looks terrible.

Maybe we should

find a new place.

One that

allows dogs.

Well, it's probably

nice inside.

Come on, let's

check it out.

(Laura)

I thought all

New York apartments

had elevators.

Apparently not, dear.

Maybe we should

go back home.

[angry]

This is home

now, Jimmy!

[door creaking]

Who are you?.

We're the Warners.

We're moving in

to apartment 12.

Oh, yeah.

[crunch]

This is

my wife, Laura.

I'm Muriel.

This is Reuben.

[playful music]

Hm. Pleasure.

This is

our son, Jimmy.

We didn't

know there would

be children.

Well, it is

in the paperwork.

(Muriel)

Oh?

Hey.

So it is.

What'd you say

your name was again?.

Jimmy.

(Muriel)

Jimmy, are you

a good boy?

Yeah.

You'd better be.

(Muriel)

Reuben will show

you the apartment.

(Jimmy)

Excuse me.

I was just wondering

if you allow pets.

(Muriel)

Pets?

Absolutely not.

Why?.

Have you got a pet?.

Y eah. A dog. Rainy.

That lease clearly

states, in red ink--

We didn't bring him

with us.

Well good. 'Cause we

don't permit 'em.

Dogs is

filthy animals. Mm-hm.

And dangerous.

Yeah.

Well, Rainy's really clean.

And he won't bite anybody.

He's the best dog

in the whole world.

He really is a good dog.

(Muriel)

Listen to me.

The only

thing worse than dogs

is precocious little kids.

Unfortunately, the law

forbids me from keepin'

them out.

Reuben, show them

the unit!

Right this way.

Come on, come on.

Oh, I gotta fix that.

Wow.

Hey, boy.

I got my eye

on you, boy.

[suspense music]

I'm watching!

I better not

see no animals

on these premises.

[several animal noises]

[whimpering]

[gasps and chuckles]

[cackling]

[Rainy groaning

to the rap]

Wait, what do we

have here?.

[rap music on earphones]

[whimpering]

Hey, hey.

Now, you won't

be needing this

now, will you?.

[barking]

[lively, playful music]

Let me outta here! hey!

[shouting]

Hey, man. Hey.

[barking]

Stop. Over here,

you mangy mutt. Ugh.

[playful music]

You can't

protect him, horse.

Move outta my way.

[trumpets]

[train horn sound]

[mooing and pounding sounds]

[loud mooing]

Holy cow.

Holy cow, man.

[mooing]

You don't wanna hurt,

no, you don't wanna

hurt nobody

Come on, you,

you're a loving animal.

Peaceful by nature, peaceful.

Ugh!

[bull mooing]

Oh!

[loud thump]

[farting]

[Charlie coughing]

Oh, yuck.

What did you eat,

you stupid bull?.

[playful music]

Come on.

No funny business.

Just give me my hat.

I'm just needing--

[spitting]

Ugh!

[bleating]

Come on. Ugh.

[suspense music]

[spitting]

[shouting]

What?.

Why me?.

No, nobody makes

a fool 'a me.

Now come back here,

you slow down.

It's not fair.

[crowing]

[several animal noises

echoing with circus music]

[shouting]

Oh, little puppy.

Here, puppy.

Here, scoundrel.

Come here, nice dog.

Come out, come out

wherever you are.

Ugh!

[chirping]

Stop laughing.

[barking]

[laughing hysterically]

You think you can get away

from me that easy, do you?.

You got nowhere

to go. I'm gonna

teach you a lesson

you won't soon forget.

[barking]

Ah!

[burps]

[Rainy, groaning]

No, no.

Stay away from--

Yeah, that's right. Run.

Run like the scared

little animal you are.

Oh. Oh.

[lively music]

[man whistling]

[man whistling]

[whistling]

[starts engine]

[whimpering]

[groaning]

What-- Oh!

[train horn]

Hey. You can't

come in here.

T ake it easy, boy.

(policeman)

He's heading

for the train yard, let's go!

(policeman 2)

Come back here!

[blowing whistle]

[panting and huffing]

[train horn]

Hey, look

what we

have here.

Looks like we got

another one of us

on board, boys.

Hey, I'm Derek.

Nice to meet you.

Welcome aboard.

This here is Jojo.

Hello.

This is Clive.

[whimpering]

(Derek)

Glad to be on board.

[train horn]

Gotcha now, Derek.

[playful music]

It's been a long time.

It don't look good.

That's for sure. I'm

in a corner, old boy.

What do you think?.

[Rainy, whimpering]

Hey, what's goin' on?.

He's giving me

some ideas.

That mutt?.

[chuckles]

If you figure a way

to get outta this,

I'll give him my dinner.

[chuckles]

[whimpering]

[Derek, laughing]

What a move!

(Clive)

That can't be.

Looks like we got

another guest for dinner.

# Oh, Suzanna

Don't you cry for me #

# I come from Alabama

With a banjo on my knee #

# I had a dream

The other night

When everything was still #

# I thought I saw Suzanna

Coming up the hill #

# The buckwheat cake

Was in her mouth

The tear was in her eye #

# Says I'm coming

From the South

Suzanna don't you cry #

# Oh, Suzanna

Don't you cry for me #
