Marley & Me Page #11

Synopsis: After their wedding, newspaper writers John and Jennifer Grogan move to Florida. In an attempt to stall Jennifer's "biological clock", John gives her a puppy. While the puppy Marley grows into a 100 pound dog, he loses none of his puppy energy or rambunctiousness. Meanwhile, Marley gains no self-discipline. Marley's antics give John rich material for his newspaper column. As the Grogans mature and have children of their own, Marley continues to test everyone's patience by acting like the world's most impulsive dog.

He won't feel this. He'll just slip away.

You ready?

- Yeah, we're ready.

- Okay.

Okay. Get down.

- He's wrapped in his blanket.

- So he can stay warm.

Do you guys wanna read

what you wrote?

Mine's a picture of me and Marley...

grasshoppers and ice cream.

Mommy wrote what I said.

"Dear Marley, I will

never forget you forever. Colleen. "

And these are kisses.

- That's beautiful.

- Thank you.

You wanna put it in?

He'll like that.

Set it down.

Good.

That's a great picture.

Conor, do you wanna-

"Dear Marley, I loved you all my life.

"I hope you like heaven

and that there's lots to chew on.

Your brother, Conor Richard Grogan. "

That was a good letter.

Patrick, do you wanna say something?

He knows.

I'd like to give him something.

This necklace.

It's been on quite a journey.

Your dad gave it to me...

to celebrate the beginning

of our family.

But, you know-

Our family had really already begun.

Bye, Clearance Puppy.

A dog has no use for fancy cars...

or big homes or designer clothes.

A waterlogged stick

will dojust fine.

A dog doesn't care

if you're rich or poor...

clever or dull, smart or dumb.

Give 'em your heart

and he'll give you his.

How many people

can you say that about?

How many people can make you

feel rare and pure and special?

How many people can

make you feel... extraordinary?
