No.

No, I don't.

No? Come on.

Well, um,

it's embarrassing.

Um...

Yeah, I'm...

I'd love to play my cello

on the great stage

in front of thousands

of people, but...

But...You ever imagine

yourself doing it?

Mmm. It would be

pointless.

I'm too afraid to even

have an audition.

Rene used to tell me

that I don't

have it in me.

I think that's why

I really left France,

to prove him wrong.

Well, I don't know.

Well, he is wrong,

and you just haven't

proved it yet.

See, I pictured you

with a smile.

Look what happened.

What are you all

dressed up for?

Road trip.

And what's that for?

You'll see.

Come on.

Ok. Don't mind

that sign.

Back up, back up.

Back up.

Where are we?

I can't ruin the surprise.

Just go straight.

Ok, come on.

Step, step.

Are you sure?

Watch your step.

Watch your step,

I can't watch anything.

You'll be very safe.

Don't take advantage, huh?

I'm not.

It's just a minefield

I wanted to show you.

All right, we're

coming this way.

You're fairly safe.

You're gonna go right

about to here and...

That's it?

I'll be right back.

Stay there.

You're fine,

you're fine.

Ok, and take it off.

I don't believe this.

How...

It's amazing what

a free pizza

will get you.

Now, come on, we don't

have all day.

I don't understand.

Play.

But...But there's

nobody here.

I know. Baby steps.

You gotta crawl

before you can walk.

Use your imagination.

This is silly.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the captain and tennille

will not be seen tonight

so we may bring you

a special presentation

of miss lila Dubois.

[Imitating applause]

Show us your b*obs!

And I have to?

No, that's worst-case

scenario.

When people yell it

at me, I just, uh,

I just ignore 'em.

That's very easy to say,

but what about when

it's full?

You gotta remember,

they're all

on your team.

The people that come

to listen--

they're here to escape

screaming kids

and honking horns

and ringing phones.

Any noise that comes

out of that cello

they're gonna love.

And what about the guy

who wants to see my b*obs?

Well, that's me,

and I promise I won't

yell during the show.

Now play.

Ok.

There you go.

Get the bow.

All right,

crank it up,

plug it in,

whatever you gotta do.

Pull out the antenna.

All right, axl.

That was so great.

You are good.

Hey, I pictured the house

full of people.

That's right,

standing room only.

Thank you. It felt so good.

No problem.

You were the one--

man:
Hey, Dylan!

Thanks for the extra

anchovies.

Ok.

Uh...

All right. Well,

let's get outta here.

I'll carry this.

You carry this.

Is there a handle?

Wally, this better not

be a waste of time.

I'm telling you, boss.

If anyone can get

that ring back,

it's my Uncle Harry.

Dip.

Oh, he's cool.

Dylan:
Are you sure

this guy's

a certified

dog whisperer?

Oh, yeah, boss.

My mom said he normally

only works with racing dogs,

and she said he was

on that's incredible.

Man:
Next.

That's us.

Hey, Uncle Harry.

Hey, Wally.

They add a little

too much batter

at the cloning lab?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Hey, I see large

and small.

What happened to medium?

We get it.

Uncle Harry taught me how

to wrestle when I was 7.

Wally!

Don't forget about

our little secret.

Can we talk

about the ring?

Thank you.

Is he always this quiet?

What's that? Really.

You don't say.

You don't say!

What is it?

He didn't say.

Uh, come on,

Uncle Harry.

We really gotta

get that ring.

Ok, ok!

All right, come on.

Talk to me, baby.

I see.

Stay.

Come!

I didn't what him

to hear this.

You want that dog

to help you find that ring,

you'd better start

treatin' him nice!

What? Didn't he tell you

how much fun we had

at the pet store

or the goldfish buffet?

What does he

want me to do,

lick his nuts?

[Barks happily]

Sounds like

a resounding yes to me.

I'm sure it would be

more fun than the dryer!

That's incredible.

That's what

Fran tarkenton thought.

Well, what am I

supposed to do?

Just think what would make you

happy and do it with him.

Not that!

Ok, Wally, let's wrestle.

Shirts and skins!

Like the old days!

Ah, your mother

can't help you now!

You know, I've been--

I've been thinking about it.

I just--I really think we

should go with the lobster.

Ok, fine. We'll go

with the lobster. Great.

Wait, wait, no, no, no.

Bad--bad idea.

I mean, we're talking

200 people here, right?

Somebody's bound

to be allergic

to shellfish, huh?

So, uh, what

about the beef?

Definitely, definitely

the beef, hmm?

All right, relax, rain man.

This is your department,

you make the call.

I gotta go.

Now do me.

Well, I'm back again

you thought

you got rid of me

I talk too much

and all I care about is me

I'm back again

I'm here to waste

some time of yours

I'll just need

a couple bucks or maybe more

and then what'd she say?

Oh, I can't wait

to tell the girls. Ha ha ha.

Oh.

Yeah.

Rather. Mm-hmm.

You'll be the talk

of the town.

All-you-can-eat buffet

for free.

Better than Vegas.

Here's a good one.

Wanna watch Lassie?

[Arf arf]

Yeah. Oh, she's hot.

Almost too pretty though,

you know.

She definitely puts

the ass in Lassie.

[Whines]

You got the ring!

You're a good boy.

You're the best doggy

in the whole world.

I love...

Oh, my God! You suck!

You lost the best part.

I'll kill you!

Get over here!

You rat! You dirty

little hamster!

Bad boy! Come here!

Heel!

[Arf arf]

Don't you--don't try it.

Oh, we were just

starting

to get along,

weren't we?

[Arf]

Oh, you're dead!

Come on!

Heel! Stop!

Stay! Bad dog!

I'll teach you

to play dead.

[Arf arf arf arf]

Blah, blah, blah.

You mess with the bull,

you get the horns.

[Clatters]

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Ja...

Oh, I was dreaming.

Oh, it was so real.

It was like Jack

was here.

Yes, but we know

he is here.

No, we don't. Rene!

Yes. Jack!

Come out, baby.

Dylan, I'm so sorry.

He's being delusional.

I shouldn't even be here,

but I didn't want you to

have to deal with him alone.

It's no problem.

Hey, you know what?

What're you doing

tomorrow night?

I'm catering

this little shindig.

Oh, I would love

to go, but I can't.

I have plans to attend

a function with rene.

Hey, not as a date,

just a friend.

Max ubermann, the director

of the philharmonic,

will be there.

Is this bad?

No, that's great.

That's the same party

I'm working.

Come on, Jack, baby!

I know you're here.

He's not here, rene.

I'm telling you he is here!

This guy over there

is a liar.

Now, rene,

that hurts down here.

Why would I do something

like that, anyway?

Why? To get into her pants.

What? Rene,

only you would think

of something

that filthy.

[Bowl clatters]

What is this?

Oh. That is

a refrigerator door handle,

and this is my cereal.

Oh, yeah?

I think I will eat some

because I'm hungry.

Want some?

Now we're leaving, rene.

We're leaving?

I'm dreaming.

Fine.

I'll call you later.

I'm on to you,

Mr. local yokel.

Smile. We'll see

who's smiling
