Marmaduke
High school.
Look familiar? Yeah.
Being a teenager,
it can be rough,
I'm not gonna
lie to you.
But if you're a teenager,
and the world doesn't fit you,
you're totally hosed!
# Oh, Mr. Pit...
Oh, Mr. Pit...
# Mr. Pitiful
# Who let you down?
# Who let you down?
Who let you down?
And the harder
you try to fit in,
the more awkward it gets.
# Oh, Mr. Pit...
Oh, Mr. Pit...
# Mr. Pitiful
# Who let you down?
Look at this poor guy.
Brutal!
# Who let you down?
Who let you down? #
But if you think
being a big, awkward teenager
that can happen to you,
try being
a 200-pound teenage dog
with a radar dish
wrapped around your neck!
Oh, yeah, that'll make me
real popular.
Luckily, they're easy
to take off. Watch this.
Marmaduke!
Told you!
Where are you?
Hold your horses.
I'm Marmaduke, by the way.
I get yelled at a lot.
Come on, let's meet the fam.
The two-leggers.
You're gonna love them.
Here I come!
This little Padawan here
is Brian.
Like most kids his age,
he loves to hang out with me.
Come on, buddy.
I can't see!
Yeah, I'm pretty busy myself.
I'll catch you later.
And this social
butterfly here is Barbara.
She loves to
play ball with me.
Okay, Barb,
you throw and I catch.
He can be like that.
Not like that.
Is somebody cooking?
Food!
Debbie's pretty cool,
and my main food hook-up.
She slips me a steak here,
some turkey there.
Which is why I think she doesn't
even care when I help myself.
Come to daddy.
Ahhh! Hot cheese!
Oh, hot cheese!
Marmaduke!
The little one's Sarah.
How cute is she?
And she's my biggest fan.
You know, it's important for
them to get exercise at this age,
so I try to take her
for a walk every day.
She's got a great laugh,
doesn't she?
Then there's
my owner, Phil.
He's a marketing guy for
a local pet food company.
I call him
Doctor No sometimes,
'cause it's nothing
but rules with him.
No slobbering.
No barking.
No tackling the mailman.
Here, let's see if he says no
to this awesome hole I'm digging.
Marmaduke, no!
See? Doctor No
in the house.
Why don't you just
give it a chance?
I will find China!
What you're doing
is cruel and unusual.
I hate water.
Come on. Sit.
Look, everybody's got a weakness. Sit.
Mine's water. It's my kryptonite. Sit.
Not sitting in this tub.
Sit, sit, sit.
Sit, Marmaduke!
What can I say? I'm
a sucker for the kid.
Bye-bye.
Phil hates that.
Hey, Sarah,
where you going?
Stay.
There's nothing good about
getting a bath, except for this!
Come on, Phil!
Not again.
Marmaduke!
Let's go!
Marmaduke!
I like to give Phil
a little exercise, too.
He's cooped up in the office
all day. Come on, Phil.
That's the spirit!
Get back here!
Over here!
Come here, through here,
Phil! I'm over here!
Yeah, come on!
Not this time...
You don't grab a tiger
by the tail!
Marmaduke!
Someone call the ASPCA!
We got a crazy dog
on the loose!
Freedom!
Hey, Dad.
What are you doing?
Would it kill them
to install a new dog door?
I was two months old
when they got this.
I guess I had more pull before
the growth spurt. Cue flashback.
Oh, he's so cute!
See? Insanely cute.
Look at that lovable
little Marma-pup.
Come here, you!
But when you grow up into
this, I get it. Not pretty.
I'd ignore me, too.
Get back here!
Hey, I'm talking here!
Anyway, I try not to
hold things against Phil.
After all,
he's only human.
That's why I make it a point
to never go to bed hungry.
Let's see
what we've got.
Sausage from
last week's barbecue,
gonna need to let that
breathe a few days.
This is our shot.
California, the big leagues.
In the big leagues, they take
steroids and cheat with supermodels.
It's a marketing job with
an organic pet food company.
I think we'll be okay.
Pepperoni pizza.
Phil's loafer? No, I'll
save it for dessert.
And that, I have no idea what that is.
Aren't we okay
in Kansas?
Is that what we wanna be? Just okay?
Coming in for a landing.
I wanna give you and the
kids the life you deserve.
I want a bigger house
with a bedroom that doesn't
smell like a meat-locker.
This is our shot.
Well, if this is our shot,
then we should take it.
But you have to
tell the kids.
Done.
Give me that.
Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey, I wasn't done
with that!
You don't have to worry, I've
got my supermodel right here.
Wow!
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
Marmaduke!
Marmaduke!
What did you eat?
I know it's juvenile,
but it's all I've got.
So, there you have it.
Day in the life of
old Marmaduke, here.
It's really bad!
Guys, I am sorry.
That was a little much,
even for me.
Bad Marmaduke.
All right, enough.
Lights out.
Waffles, waffles,
waffles, waffles, waffles!
Yes!
Saturday morning waffles!
Got to love the Debster!
Take it easy, man!
A waffle is to be
savored, not inhaled!
Hey, this is my step-bro,
Carlos, by the way.
Say hey, Carlos.
Hey, Carlos.
He's pretty cool
for a cat, which helps,
since he's basically
my only friend.
You ready for
a bombshell?
Lay it on me.
Phil just told everybody
he got a new job.
We're moving
to the O.C.!
Shut up! Really?
No lie! I was so shocked,
I hacked that thing up.
Carlos, that's gross!
I know it's gonna take
time to adjust, honey,
but you'll make so many
new friends there.
I think it sounds
kind of cool.
What do you care? All you
do is play video games.
This is so unfair!
I got to say,
I'm with Barbara on this one.
You know how many bones
I buried in the backyard?
Guys, this is a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We'll have a big new house
with a pool and a company car.
Pets are always
the last to find out!
I don't even know
where the O.C.'s at!
Okay, what's the deal?
Is it something I said?
Something you weren't
supposed to say.
Does anyone even own
a pet in this place?
I haven't seen
a single dog so far.
It's kind of hard to forgive
you if you don't mean it...
Oh! She's fine.
Okay, so far, all I've
learned about The O.C. is that
no one has a pet and Seth,
here, is a total drama queen.
You're the biggest
drama queen, amigo.
Me?
That's you, Carlos.
You're, like, 200 pounds
of drama, with a red collar!
Oh, really?
This conversation is over.
No, no, no!
Ejector seat.
Never fails.
And so,
moving day arrived.
And there was
a feeling of hope
and excitement for
the whole family.
Even Barbara was trying
to lend a hand.
That's mine...
Carlos and I would
have pitched in, too,
but we were being
shipped air freight and on lockdown!
Hey, let me out of here.
I'm not an animal!
Oh, yeah, I am.
Look what I got.
Debbie's meatballs!
That's my man, Phil!
There you go.
Looking out
for his own.
I don't know, Carlos.
Something's fishy here.
It's Debbie's
meatballs, man. Don't question it!
Oh! I know I shouldn't eat
it, but I can't help it.
Good boy! Good boy!
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
I feel a little funny.
This is
a horrible mistake.
I requested
executive class!
