Cool Dog Page #3

---

T omorrow, Jimmy.

All right, guys.

Are you okay?.

Yeah.

But, I could have

handled myself.

Yeah. I can see that.

Well, thanks.

No problem.

I'm Amy.

Nice to meet you.

Don't think

about them. They're

just dumb bullies.

Like to pick on kids

smaller than they are.

They wouldn't do this

if Rainy was here.

Who's Rainy?.

My dog.

He always came

to school with me.

Where is he now?.

I had to leave him

in Eagle Rock.

See, we're from Louisiana,

but my landlords here

don't allow pets

That's too bad.

He sounds pretty cool.

Can he do tricks?.

Absolutely. He can

roll over, play dead.

Even ride a skateboard.

Wow.

And we love

the same music too.

I left him my iPod.

[lively music]

[Jimmy, echoing]

This is where we're going.

It's New York City.

[ship horn]

[ship horn]

[lively music continues]

Hey, Amy.

Thanks again

for today.

You're welcome.

But, if it

happens tomorrow,

maybe let me

take care of it.

[dog barking]

Hey.

[dog barking,

man grunting]

That's my landlord.

He's the one

who won't let

Rainy live with us.

[dog, growling]

Oh. That hurts!

Oh, pup, pup.

[suspense music]

That's strange.

I thought no pets

were allowed.

That's what they said.

Well maybe they changed

their minds. I'll check.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

[lively music]

(girl)

Somebody lost a dog.

(woman)

He's so cute.

(man)

Hey, watch where

you're walkin', you.

(man)

Hey, hey, come here, buddy.

[pleasant music]

[chuckling]

(girl)

What a cute doggie.

[suspense music]

[gasps]

[barking]

Help! help!

(lady)

Somebody stop him!

Get outta the way.

Get outta the way.

[barking]

Police comin' through!

Get outta my way.

Get outta my way.

Ugh.

(thief)

Hey, get him off me.

(policeman)

You're under

arrest, pal.

(policeman 2)

Come on. Get up.

Stealin' purses

from little old

ladies, huh?

Mangy mutt!

Thank you, officers.

My whole life

is in this bag.

Don't thank us.

The dog caught

the thief.

Mangy mutt.

(policeman)

You're a mangy mutt.

Come on.

Oh, what a good

dog you are.

Who's your owner?.

Let's see your collar.

[groaning]

Oh, my, you're

halfway uptown.

That's a long

way home.

Come. I'll

take you back.

Come on.

[whistling]

Let's go.

[whimpering]

(Reuben)

'Cause I don't wanna

get rabies. I, I'm not thi-

How many

times do I have

to tell you?.

don't look

the animals

right in the eye.

It' makes them mad.

Well, the damn thing

bit me, Muriel.

Oh, it nipped you.

It didn't even break

the skin.

Uh, Ms. Ledger?.

Somethin' wrong, kid?.

Well, I just wanted

to ask you about

my dog again.

I told you,

no pets allowed.

Well, I saw Mr. Reuben

bringing in a cage

with an animal in it

I thought maybe you

just changed the rules.

Why are you nosing

around, kid?.

Are you one

of those troublemakers?.

No, I just thought maybe--

No pets!

Now get outta

here before I talk

to your parents.

I'm always careful

not to be seen.

You idiot.

Now get up

here and make

me a sandwich.

I think we're outta

Miracle Whip.

(Muriel)

Well, you better make

a miracle and get some.

[sirens wailing]

Come on.

It's your building.

[horns honking]

Young man!

(man)

Let's go,

I ain't got all day.

Young man!

[horns honking]

[shouting]

Do you live

around here?.

Do you live around here?.

Uh, yeah.

Well, I am trying

to get this nice

doggie home.

And his collar says

that this is his building.

Here?. No way.

Why not?.

You see, I know the landlords

of this building, the Ledgers.

They're as mean

as snakes.

They don't like kids

and they hate animals.

They do?.

Oh yeah. There's no way

they're gonna let a dog,

even a cool dog

like this one stay here.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Well, it seems like we're

not having any luck.

And I have to go.

Maybe your owners

are keeping you

secret. Sh.

[whimpering]

Can you stay here and wait

for them to come home?.

[whimpering]

You are such a good doggie.

Thank you very much.

[whimpering]

(Dean)

Hey guys.

(Laura)

Hi, honey.

Hi, Dad.

How was your first

day in the new

school, sport?.

Nothing special.

(Laura)

You see,

I told it would be

just like Eagle Rock.

Just like.

Hey, did you

make any new

friends today?.

Just one.

Great. What's his name?.

How come the landlords

are allowed to have pets,

but we can't?.

Well, I wasn't aware

that he had any.

I saw Mr. Reuben bring in

a cage with an animal in it.

It even bit him.

Jimmy.

I was in their

apartment today,

and I didn't see

any dogs.

But I saw him.

And I asked them too.

And what did he say?.

No pets allowed.

And what else?.

Stop being nosy.

You see?

There you have it.

We must stop

all this talk about dogs.

We're in New York now

and it's not gonna change.

[melancholy music]

Wish you could be here, Rainy.

It's not much fun

without my best friend.

[sniffs]

God. If you could

only find a way.

[melancholy music continues]

[all chuckling]

(punk 1)

Hey, look at this guy.

Hey, what

you got there,

old man?. Huh?.

Hey, hey, stop.

Come on, man.

What is this, trash?

(homeless man)

That's my stuff. Hey.

Whoa. Look

at old man crazy.

Hey. There's nothin'

in there you want.

Oh, a free hat.

Come on, guys.

Look. Ain't nothin'

in there for you.

(punk 1)

Check it out.

Whoa!

That wasn't necessary,

you punks.

What'd you call us?.

I called you a punk.

Throwin' my stuff all down--

I don't even know

what's wrong with you

young folks today,

I wasn't botherin' nobody.

[barking]

Ugh!

[growling]

You go, dog.

All right.

[growling]

He tried to bite me.

Yeah, well,

he'll do it again

if you don't git.

Go! Get outta here!

Oh, good boy. Get him boy.

Go on, get him, boy. Get him,

get him. Get him.

[laughing]

Mommy!

Thanks, man.

Boy, them punks don't

respect nobody these days.

They just throwin'

stuff all on the ground.

Shoot. Boy, you know,

you a clever pup, too.

You know that?.

I sure wish I had

somethin' to give you.

Man, l, l, I'm flat broke.

I ain't got a dime.

[barks]

I'll tell you

what. We'll go

eat us somethin'. Okay?.

[barks]

Yeah, all right.

Okay. All right,

let's go.

(man)

There you go, buddy.

(woman)

Look at that sweet dog.

(woman)

Baby, you're so cute.

[whimpering]

(woman)

You have a lovely dog.

Well, we gonna eat us

some dinner now, boy.

[chuckles]

Here it is, guys.

[whimpering]

Don't tell me.

You here for a hot dog?.

[groaning]

You got money?.

Okay. How many?.

[barks twice]

Two dogs. Coming up.

You want mustard?.

[whimpering]

Mustard, oh,

all right. Mayo?.

No mayo. Ketchup?

Nope. Uh, pickles?.

[groaning]

That'll be three bucks.

Enjoy.

One 'a the best

hot dogs I ever ate.

I mean, all of 'em

are good. Mm, mm, mm.

Well, guess it's time

for me to settle down

for the night.

[grunts]

Good night, boy.

[groaning]

[groaning]

Here are the keys.

[engine starting]

Hey!

What are you doing?.

[engine roars]

No, no, no!

[barking]

(valet)

You can't drive that car!

[brakes screeching]
