Marley & Me: The Puppy Years Page #2

Thanks.

Maybe I'll do that.

Come on.

Just don't get any ideas

about beating us.

Come on.

What do you think,

Marley?

[ Murmurs ]

Yeah. youse a good dog.

Yeah.

[ Birds Chirping ]

[ Female Voice ]

Hey, tubby?

[ Male Voice ] What?

I hear someone.

Why don't you stop feeding

your face and see who it is.

Why don't you get off

your lazy butt

and see for yourself?

'Cause I'm sunbathing.

Well. I'm snacking.

Okay. fine. I'll go.

Maybe it's somebody cool.

Wait a minute.

I want to see.

You know, they're probably

oat back here.

Oh. [ Chuckles ]

There they are.

[ Bodi Chuckles ]

Who's he?

Don't know.

Hiya.

Hi. guys. Hey, pap.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Barking Playfully ]

So what do you say,

Mrs. Crouch?

[ Sniffing ]

I could pick them up

in the morning for training.

Uh, what are you doing?

I smell Spam. Mmm!

[ Chuckles ]

Wow. Youre good.

No, he's just

obsessed with meat.

It sounds like this competition

might be just what

your puppies need.

Well, I guess I don't see

any harm in them joining

your agility team.

- Awesome.

- And I gotta wear this thing

for another three weeks.

- We're gonna be a team?

- What?

I'm not teaming up

with that woof.

Hes a total goob.

No, he's not.

Uh, hello. I'm right here.

Sorry, bro.

My name is Moose.

You know, like the dorky,

furry beast.

And that's

my annoying sister

Fuchsia.

I'm Marley,

like the reggae singer.

''Yah, man.''

Who da man? You da man.

- We're jammin'!

- Oh, brother.

You're Marley da man.

You're Moose da man.

Whoo-hoo!

[ Groans ]

I think I'm gonna toss my biscuits.

[ Marley ]

We be jammin', man!

[ Man ] Taylor's got to

get through the tire,

hurdles. teeter-totters-

What am I looking at here?

It's the Ultimate Puppy

Championship I told you about.

Marley, off.

National competition-

Isn't this cool?

And the winner gets

a huge sponsorship.

[ Grandpa ]

Well. that sounds good.

...thirty-five seconds.

I was thinking if I could train

Marley for this competition,

then Mom would let me

get my own dog.

Well, that's a lot of work.

You make a commitment.

you're gonna have to see it through.

I will.

[ Bell Dings ]

Dinner.

Can I...

build a practice course

in the backyard?

Sure. After you finish

your chores.

What chores?

Hey, wrinkled guy!

I'm on the couch!

I can do that!

...making it that much

more difficult.

[ Crowd Cheers ]

In the dive competition,

a dog will do anything-

I'm so agile,

I will stupefy you!

Whoa! Oops!

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

[ Whimpering ]

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

[ Whining. Whimpering ]

[ Whimpering Continues ]

Sorry, Marley.

Grandpa says you have to

sleep in here.

[ Whimpers ]

It's only a little thunder

and lightning.

[ Whimpers ]

Works every time.

[ Bodi Laughing ]

[ Barks ]

Shh! Keep it down.

Grandpa's got

Spider-Man hearing.

[ Clears Throat ]

No dogs on the bed.

No worries. I got this.

[ Whimpering ]

Time to man up, pap.

[ Whimpers ]

[ Marley Howling ]

[ Birds Chirping ]

[ Grunting ]

My work is done here!

Now I'm thirsty.

Bingo.

[ Grunting ]

[ Snoring ]

mm?

Nice!

Marley! Hey!

Marley, what are you doing

on the bed?

You're all wet!

[ Marley Narrating ]

Hey. What's with the face?

I thought Grandpa would like

an early-morning splatter.

He's a marine, isn't he?

They're used to getting wet.

[ Groans ]

[ Shouts ]

Help me!

[ Screaming ]

Marley!

If anyone needs me,

I'll be oat mowing the lawn.

[ Chattering ]

Hey. Are you

throwing that oat?

[ Pop ]

[ Barks ]

[ Woman ]

I see you just about

every other day

- [ Whimpers ]

- Sometimes you look at me

- Whoa!

- At times you turn away

- I think it's kind of cute

- [ Whimpers ]

This little game

that you play

[ Grunting ]

Just about to

change your world

What you have been

looking for

- The world is rising up

- [ Barks ]

Just about to

change your world

Yeah

[ Tires Squealing ]

Hey.

What's this?

I thought you were building

that agility course.

I am.

How? By remote control?

Come on.

You gotta finish

what you started.

[ Murmurs ]

Hmm?

Agility weave poles set.

[ Whimpers ]

[ Murmurs ]

[ Whimpers ]

Duct tape.

[ Grunts ]

Is that a beaver?

I think it's a chipmunk.

No, it's our future.

Tire jump.

- Teeter-totter, weave poles,

walk-over. jump--

- [ All Whimpering ]

Tunnel.

[ Laughs ]

Well, team,

who wants to go first?

Whoa!

mm?

[ Sighs ]

[ Murmuring ]

[ Barks ]

Weill, go ahead and say it.

Your dead chipmunk

is squashing my azaleas.

Anything else?

Yeah. You didn't finish

the lawn, and you forgot

to make your bed.

Other than that,

it was a good effort.

Okay then.

Come on, guys.

You want to see

something cool?

Sure!

[ Barks ]

[ Grandpa Clears Throat ]

- What?

- You call that making a bed?

Now that's how you make a bed.

Stupid to make the bed

if I'm just gonna

mess it up again.

[ Grandpa ]

I heard that.

[ Sighs ]

[ Water Burbling In Pipe ]

[ Murmurs ]

What is it?

Don't know.

Whatever it is,

it's not edible.

I've already tried.

[ All Gasp ]

Whoa! Whoa!

[ Fuchsia ]

Aaah! My fur!

[ Grunting ]

Mmm!

[ Marley ] Go ahead, Moose.

I dare you to look

through there.

- Hmm.

- [ Fuchsia ]

Moose, what are you doing?

- What's over there?

- Let me see.

[ French Accent ]

My name is Cat!

Cat!

[ Farts ]

Ew!

- [ Coughing ]

- [ Groans ]

Sorry.

[ Sniffing ]

Oh, oh!

You did not blow

that nasty in my-

[ Coughing ]

Let's book!

Yeah. it's stinky

over there!

Sorry, gays!

Cats give me gas!

[ Dogs Barking Playfully ]

Oh. That's just great.

mm?

- [ Groans ]

- Ooh. Not good.

Gays, I think we might be

in over our heads

with this competition.

[ Dog Whimpers,

Murmurs ]

Is he bailing on us?

Sounds like it.

No way.

Bodi's not a quitter.

See? He came back

to clean up.

Hey, come on, guys.

Let's help him.

Check this out!

This could be us and Bodi

with the trophy!

Whoa!

Could it really?

Cool!

[ Whimpering, Barking ]

Hey. You've already

had breakfast.

''ans von Weiselberger

and the Woof Gang,

reigning

Ultimate Puppy Champions.''

Yeah. Would have

been great. but-

[ Marley Whimpering ]

[ All Whimpering ]

I tried, guys.

It's not gonna happen.

Hey.

What's all this?

Complete failure.

I can't train Marley.

I can't even build

a stupid coarse.

Well, maybe you're trying

to do too much.

Mom does like

a million things at once-

perfectly.

She wasn't always perfect,

you know.

She wasn't?

No, not even close.

I remember when

she was your age,

she wanted a hamster.

Mom had a hamster?

Yeah. I think

his name was Ernie.

[ Laughs ]

Ernie.

But first she had to

prove that she could

take care of him,

and believe me,

she had a terrible time.

You know how hard it is

to train a hamster?

[ Chuckles ]

Probably not as hard

as these gays.

[ Chuckles ]

Don't give up, son.

I think Marley's

a lot smarter

than a hamster.

Yeah, he is.

I think you can do it.

Thanks, Grandpa.

[ Lawn Mower Whirs ]

All right.
