Marmaduke Page #5

Synopsis: Marmaduke, the world's most lovable Great Dane, leaps from comic strip fame (appearing in 600 newspapers in over 20 countries) to big screen stardom in this family comedy event. A suburban family moves to a new neighborhood in Orange County, California with their large yet lovable Great Dane, who has a tendency to wreak havoc in his own oblivious way. But it's not all living large for the Duke, who finds that fitting in with his new four-legged friends - and a potential romantic interest - isn't always easy for a super-sized teenage dog. Owen Wilson gives the beloved Great Dane his voice in the film, which also features the voices of Fergie, George Lopez, Emma Stone and Kiefer Sutherland.

I smell potential,

with a hint of

something minty.

I like it.

Let's go!

It worked!

She talked to me!

What are you doing? That's

not what we talked about!

Who cares?

She liked my minty breath!

Welcome to the First Annual Bark

Organics Dog Surfing Competition.

Dogs and owners, make your

way to the shore. Cowabarka!

Hey, I know you.

You go to Marshall, right?

The new girl.

That's me.

You ever not

on that thing?

You ever not

on that thing?

I'm Bodie.

I know. I mean...

Yeah, I'm Barbara.

Is that your dog?

No, no, no.

That's my dad's dog.

Huh. That's too bad.

He's way better than

those lame purse dogs.

Well, I did kind of adopt him

as my own, though.

The dog, not my dad.

Yeah, Marmaduke and I

are super close.

My friend's having a party

next weekend. You should come.

Sure, I'd love to.

Competition's starting.

Beat it, Hasselhoff.

Dad,

what are you doing?

You're way too young, and I'm way

too busy to talk about this right now.

And, just put

some clothes on.

Can I get you

anything, Deb?

He's cute!

Hey, Marmaduke,

can you keep a secret?

Probably.

I've been telling Dad

I'm going to soccer practice,

but I've actually been

hanging out at the skate park.

I think that

sounds cool, Brian.

But you got to

tell your dad.

I don't even

like soccer.

I guess I just don't know

how to tell him the truth.

I hear you, bro,

but just hang in there.

I wish you could talk.

And I wish you could

understand me.

Come on, Marmaduke!

Hey, Brian, you okay?

Yeah.

What do you say we kick

that ball around later?

No, I'm good.

Come on, buddy.

Wait! Phil! Phil!

Hold on, Phil. Brian's

got something to tell you.

It is a beautiful day here in

Southern California for dog surfing.

Please, put your paws together

for our canine competitors!

Aha! And here's our marketing

director, Phil Winslow.

Phil, this is David King,

Jessica Colestat from PETCO.

Pleased to meet you.

I hope you're ready for a

mind-blowing canine surf experience.

Wow! Can't wait to see

this big guy out on the waves!

No, no, no.

Phil and Marmaduke are one

month removed from Kansas.

I don't think they're ready to hang 10.

Well, that's too bad. That

would've been hysterical.

Yeah!

No, you're right!

That would be hysterical! Phil?

Phil, come on, they're

just kidding. Say no!

Marmaduke's dying

to hang 20.

Dying to.

Oh! We're dead!

No, no, no. Phil, no!

Let's go, buddy.

Come on.

It's just water.

No. Way too big and

too wet! Cold, cold!

That's my competition?

This ought to be fun.

Freezing, freezing!

No! Marmaduke!

Cold, cold!

Come on,

get back here. Heel!

Happy thoughts,

happy thoughts.

I'm running through a meadow.

I'm peeing on everything.

You don't stand

a chance, Shamu.

I own these waves.

Good luck to you, too.

It's okay, Marmaduke.

Nothing bad's gonna happen.

Something bad's gonna happen,

Phil. Payback's gonna hurt.

Okay, stay.

It's okay.

Ladies and gentlemen, take

a look, on the horizon,

a massive,

rogue wave approaches!

You got to be kidding!

Time to dazzle.

It's all you, buddy.

Phil! No, no, what are

you doing? Phil, help me.

Phil, no!

Good luck!

Somebody get me off this

thing! What am I doing?

Out of my way, poser! Look out!

I've got

the right of way!

Oh, boy!

Look out!

Phil, help me!

Look at this!

It's Marmaduke!

Look at the perfect position

here, Marmaduke in the barrel.

Yeah!

Get me off this thing!

Help! Marmy don't surf!

He doesn't look like

he's gonna make it.

Where is he?

I don't know.

Oh, man,

I'm gonna die!

No, you're not.

Get a hold of yourself!

Grip it and rip it!

Geronimo!

There he is!

Take a look at this!

He throws a big air!

What a crazy dog!

Look out! Look out!

And the Duke shreds!

This dog rules! Marmaduke!

You did it, buddy!

Oh! Get me out of here!

That's my dog! Get this seaweed off me!

It burns! It burns!

Debbie, help!

Yeah!

That was awesome!

Really?

That was off the hook! The

Duke has arrived, y'all!

It was?

You totally

shredded, dude!

I shredded?

That was way better

than Bosco, dude!

Marmaduke shreds!

All right, here it is.

The overall surf champion...

You think it was funny dropping in

on my wave like that, Marma-puke?

I didn't do

anything, Bosco!

Let it go,

it was an accident.

And the trophy

goes to...

This better be me.

Whoa! We have an upset.

The trophy goes to Phil

Winslow and Marmaduke!

What?

Phil, did we really win?

I'm gonna tear

you apart, mutt.

I didn't do anything!

Somebody put a leash

on this dog!

Marmaduke!

Help!

Get back here, mutt!

Whoa, whoa!

Get back here,

you poser!

I don't even

like surfing!

Stop running,

you coward.

I'm gonna make you pay.

I am gonna make you pay!

Come on, Duke,

you can take him.

This ends right here,

right now.

You know what? You're right,

Bosco. This does end here.

Ow! My leg's cramping!

Ow! Ow!

Time out, time out!

No, bad dog!

Heel.

I'm so sorry

about this.

Get your dog under

control, you understand?

Come on, folks, I'm so

sorry. Come on. Come this way.

Hey, what's the new surf

champ doing out here all alone?

Hey. I'm just kind of here,

taking a break from the old family.

Well, I guess some people just

can't handle it when you're top dog.

Really?

It's getting

a little cold out.

Wait, what about Bosco?

Forget about him.

There's a new dog in town.

And his name

is Marmaduke.

Hey, that's my name!

That's my name!

Marmaduke!

Say it loud,

say it proud!

# The moon was shining

on the lake at night

# The Slayer T-shirt

fit the scene just right

# Smeared mascara, I looked

into your eyes I saw a light #

Fire truck!

Fire truck!

Fire truck!

Hi! Phil Winslow.

Anton, master of

the Top Dog method.

I'm supposed to listen

to a guy named Anton?

Top dog him, Phil.

Top dog him.

Marmaduke!

Guys, what's going on?

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Out of the car!

Let's go.

Oh...

Pump your fists triumphantly,

and say it to the world,

"I'm top dog!"

Rubber bone!

I'm top dog!

Bone! Give me!

I thought

you said he'd be here.

He said he might stop by

after the pedigree party,

but he didn't

promise anything.

How much farther?

Just keep coming. Keep

coming, we're almost there.

Where are we?

It's a surprise. Ready?

Hit it, boys!

Wow!

It's pretty cool,

isn't it?

It's beautiful!

Wait, wait, wait.

There's more.

Crank it, DJ Thunder!

I can't believe I'm

really here with you.

Of course you are, silly!

You're the alpha dog.

Okay, well,

I hope you're hungry.

Wow! You really pulled

out all the stops!

It's just a little

something I whipped up.

How about a peanut

butter appetizer?

My favorite!

Really? I was worried you

might be allergic to it.

I almost got

almond butter.

It's so romantic!

I couldn't think of another

girl I'd rather share it with.

It's so creative, too.

Tell me, how did you

ever think of this?

It's just

the kind of guy I am.

I'm a Great Dane. We

sat at the foot of kings!
