Marmaduke Page #7

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.

He has a backyard,

you have a couch.

Really?

Really.

You know what?

It's not that easy.

Nobody ever

puts in a cat door!

Hey, you must be Mazie.

Tell the hipster giant I'm not

interested in his peace offering.

He's gone. He got busted with

Phil and had to sleep outside.

He ran out the back gate

about an hour ago.

Oh, great. He has

zero street smarts.

Where you going?

To find that big doofus!

I'd go myself,

but I can't get wet.

Yeller.

Oh! You crazy,

wonderful dog.

He acts like it's a great

big romp, doesn't he, Travis?

Crazy as a bullbat.

He's a heap more dog than

I ever had him figured for.

None of the strays at

the pound have seen him.

He's not at

the dog park either.

No luck here.

I made a huge mistake wearing

the bumble-bee sweater.

It's way too absorbent!

It's raining cats and us!

You guys head home, I'm

gonna look a little longer.

We can't leave you

out here alone!

It's too dangerous!

Okay, on second thought,

you have fun.

You do that whole thing.

Good luck.

Chupadogra?

Who are you? And what

are you doing here?

Please don't hurt me!

You're a big boy.

Good. The small ones ain't

got enough meat on their bones.

Please don't hurt me!

I'm sorry, I...

Are you okay?

I'm more than all right.

Sorry to bother you.

Hey, what's a dog like you

doing out here, anyways?

You're no stray.

I ran away from home.

So, you think running's the answer? Huh?

I don't even know

what I'm doing anymore.

I acted like a big-shot and

lost all my friends, my family.

Listen, this bag of bones you're

looking at used to be something special.

I was the alpha dog.

Left my home to go run the

pack. And man, did I run it.

Till they turned on me.

Now I live out here alone

dodging trains and dogcatchers.

Rest assured, compadre,

there ain't a day goes by

when I don't think about

waking up in a warm bed

and spending the day

with the folks who love me.

The real me.

Go home.

Something tells me it ain't

too late for the real you.

Thank you, Buster.

Been a long time

since anybody called me that.

Thanks.

What's that?

It's the pound.

Go on, get out of here.

Get!

What about you?

You're sick!

Yeah, that's right, baby.

I'm one sick puppy.

Go on, go!

Let's make this easy,

old timer.

What fun would that be?

No, no! No!

Debbie, you got

to listen to me.

Marmaduke is missing. He's

been gone since last night!

We're talkative this

morning! Go eat your num-nums.

Hey, Deb.

Did you leave these

on the table in there?

What are you

talking about?

Barb, I read the text. And...

Is that really

how you feel?

Honestly?

Yeah.

Hey, Bri.

You never went to

soccer practice, did you?

I didn't want to disappoint you,

but you weren't really listening.

Where's Marmaduke?

In the backyard,

sweetie.

No, he's not. I thought

he was upstairs with you.

No.

Marmaduke!

Marmaduke!

The side gate's open. You didn't

let him back in last night?

No.

That's what

I've been saying.

He'll be back, right?

He could get

hit by a car.

Honey, anything

could happen

because we don't know

how long he's been gone.

I just wanted him to

sleep in the backyard,

I didn't want him

to run away. God!

I got this

presentation.

Guys, if I don't

nail this, I'm done.

Just go.

We'll find him.

You put her in the car seat, and

you get Marmaduke's leash, okay?

Wait.

We'll all go find him.

Now you're

talking, amigo.

Come on, where am I? Just give

me one little scent of home.

Marmaduke! Come on, buddy. Marmaduke!

Come on, boy.

Marmaduke!

Okay, that was the

neighborhood. So, where else?

The beach. He could be at the beach.

Okay, the beach and

maybe the dog park?

You guys, I'm texting

everybody I know.

What if he's

at the pound?

Come on, come on, give me

something I can recognize.

One landmark,

one little scent.

What do you mean,

"What does he look like?"

He's a Great Dane! He's huge.

He's twice the size of your dog.

Come on,

give me a scent.

One more funky

little Marmaduke smell.

Come on, not today!

Hi, Don. Winslow,

where the heck are you?

You were supposed to

be here an hour ago!

I'm sorry, Don. Uh...

We still haven't

found Marmaduke

and I just don't think

I'll make it in today.

Don't worry about

coming in today,

because you're fired,

Winslow!

Mazie?

Mazie? Mazie!

What is this?

It looks like

a water main broke.

There he is!

Wait! I'm coming!

Honey! Honey!

Right there, look!

Kids, never do this.

Marmaduke!

Where was he, Brian?

He was up there.

Marmaduke! Here, go wait

in the car with your mom.

Marmaduke!

Mazie!

Marmaduke!

Mazie!

Where have you been? I've

been looking all over for...

Mazie! No!

What?

Mazie!

Marmaduke!

No, no,

don't let me fall!

Marmaduke!

Come on, let's go!

Come on, buddy!

Marmaduke, where are you?

Somebody, help! Mazie!

No! Marmaduke!

Mazie! Mazie!

Hey, Marmaduke,

come on, let's go!

Stay back.

Phil, help me!

Get away from me!

Hey, stay back!

Geronimo!

Marmaduke, no!

That's my dog. That's my dog in there!

Look, that was my dog.

Can somebody help me?

Can you please help me

get him out of there?

There's a catch basin

about two blocks down.

We need

a water rescue, over.

Help!

Marmaduke!

Mazie!

Where are you, Marmaduke?

I can't do this!

Hold on.

I'm coming, Mazie!

Help me! Help me!

Somebody, help! Mazie!

Marmaduke!

Help! Help!

Help, help,

don't let me fall!

Mazie!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

All right.

Get me two more guys here.

What are we

gonna do?

Just hold on.

I'm gonna

figure this out.

Anything?

Wait, wait,

I think I hear someone.

Down here!

I think

he's gonna help us.

Yeah. We're right here.

What should we do?

I found them, over.

Come on, girl.

I don't think I can make it! Come here.

No, I can't!

Come on, girl,

it's okay.

Listen to him.

Mazie, you can do this.

You can do it, right here.

I don't think I can make it!

Come on, girl,

just jump.

Come on.

You can do it.

Good, you got it!

Take her first.

Go ahead. Come on, it's your turn. Jump!

Me? No. I can't do it,

I'm too big!

Come on,

you can do it!

What's that noise?

Marmaduke, look out!

You got to come, boy.

Hurry!

You got

to be kidding me!

Come on, boy! Hurry!

Grab me!

You better grab me now!

What's happening?

Jam it! Jam it!

Get him out!

Up, up, up!

Let's go!

You guys, easy.

Easy!

There he is.

We got him up. Guys!

He's out.

He's out.

Where's the other one?

Where's my dog?

I'm sorry.

The water was

moving too fast.

I lost him.

We're not gonna give up.

Where does this go?

The aqueduct,

it's just down there.

Go with him. Go.

Marmaduke!

Marmaduke!

Phil, help!

Get me. Phil!

Marmaduke!

Help!

Get me, Phil!

Marmaduke!

Help!

Marmaduke!

I'm right here, buddy.

Grab here, Phil!

Grab on to this.

Phil! Phil,

where are you? Phil!

Phil! Phil!

Thank goodness

you're okay!

Marmaduke!

Right here, come on!

I can't...

I'm too scared.

Right here.

Come on.

Oh, no!

How did it come

to this, Phil?
