New York Minute Page #3

and then we're out of here.

Clean up, get out.

What?

- It's a...

- Dog.

I think.

Well...

...you take a shower first...

...and I'll take the doggy.

Come on, puppy.

- Jane Ryan speaking.

- I have your date book.

- Roxy!

- What?

- What?

- It's the psycho. He has my day planner.

Let me... I'll talk to him.

- Be nice.

- Okay.

- Listen, you...

- I told you to be nice.

You can take money...

...you can have the credit cards,

just please don't hurt my speech.

Shut up. I talk, you listen.

- Okay. Good idea.

- You took my chip.

Roxy, did you eat this man's chips?

- No.

- You sure?

- I didn't eat his chips.

- She didn't eat your chips.

No, not chips. Chip. My microchip.

Listen, we need that book back.

So meet us outside the Plaza Hotel

in 30 minutes, or I will eat your chips.

Found the chip!

- Hi.

- Hi.

Is today my birthday?

Oh, my God. I'm sorry.

We're just leaving.

- My sister.

- There's gonna be a five-alarm fire...

...if my mom finds you.

- This psycho stole my day planner...

...which has my entire life in it.

Now we have to give him his chip back.

Okay, so psycho, day planner,

computer chip...

Yeah, makes perfect sense to me.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

But you might have a little trouble

swapping the chip.

- Why?

- Because Reinaldo just ate it.

No. No, he didn't.

- Are you serious?

- The little green thing, he just ate it.

- Spit it out. Come on.

- Hello?

- Hello, Trey.

- Hi, Mom.

I'm on my way up. Change of schedule.

Bring my purse, dear.

I'm meeting Hillary at 1.

Okay.

All right. So my mom's on her way up.

She's a senator. Anne Baxter Lipton.

- A senator?

- Should've kept that little fact to yourself.

- A senator.

- Yeah.

I can never run for office now.

- Come here, little puppy.

- I'll be right back.

- Get it out.

- Shake it out.

- Shake it out.

- Spit it out.

- Hey, easy...

- A senator?

- Come on.

- The dog ate the chip.

I need the chip to get the day planner.

- This isn't happening.

- He bit me!

Calm down. I don't want it.

Don't throw him.

- Keep it!

- You take him!

My bad.

Oh, thank God. Reinaldo.

Jane, what are you doing?

You're gonna wind up dead!

Without that chip, I am dead.

Okay. Come back here.

Come here, doggy.

Okay. Here we go. Okay.

Trey? Trey?

- My mom.

- Why is the door locked?

- I'll be late for the Simple Plan shoot.

- The video shoot?

- Yeah.

- Trey? Hello?

- At least tell me your name before you go.

- Roxy.

- Roxy.

- Jane. Come here.

I was taking a nap. Sorry.

Look what I got my little boy for lunch.

Thanks, Mom. I already ate.

Reinaldo.

Reinaldo, come here, boy.

Look what Mommy has for you.

Come here, my precious little baby.

Where's my...? Come on.

Look what Mommy has.

Reinaldo, don't make Mommy beg.

- Hold on.

- Come here, doggy. Doggy.

Trey. Where is Reinaldo?

He always answers when I call.

He's not answering.

Come here, doggy.

So I can stick my finger down your throat.

Whatever you do, don't look down.

Mom, there's something

you should know, okay?

Now, Reinaldo, he...

I took him to the groomer's.

Why would you do that?

Because he smelled.

- Don't worry. We're getting out of here.

- I can't move.

Oh, God, I almost forgot. I gotta go.

I gotta... Yeah. I'm going to be late.

Don't forget to pick up Reinaldo.

Give me the dog.

Deals like this are the result of years

of really hard work.

Things don't just fall out of the sky.

- How you doing?

- Going down!

- That wasn't so bad.

- No.

Can I have my towel, please?

- Sir, I need your help.

- Yes, sir.

Help me find a dog

and two girls in towels.

Who exactly are they?

Okay, puppy. Okay. Go home.

You need to go home.

- What are you doing?

- We need to go.

No, we need that dog.

That dog is my life. And when he poops,

his poop is my life.

Come on, Reinaldo! Come on.

- Good puppy. Okay.

- Can anything else go wrong today?

- Am I squashing you?

- Yeah. It's great.

- Did I just...?

- Yeah. You just said that out loud.

If we keep bumping into each other like

this, one of us is gonna get hurt.

I'm willing to take that chance.

- Roxy!

- Paris! Nicky!

- How can I find you?

- Call her. 555-8989.

She's home every night.

- What's your name?

- It's Jane.

I'm Jim!

Here. How am I gonna survive

without my watch?

I don't know.

Come on. You can poopy.

Just a little one. Come on.

Any luck?

Think we have something.

- False alarm.

- I can't go looking like this.

- I'm starting to have heart palpitations.

- No, don't worry, okay?

We're gonna fix you up. I promise.

It's all gonna work out.

Where are you going?

To get my day planner back.

- I'll go with you.

- No.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

Our togetherness today

hasn't exactly been good luck.

Rox, I'll be fine.

It's in front of the Plaza.

There's a lot of witnesses.

It's not like this guy's exactly,

like, a criminal mastermind.

So have fun at the concert.

Video shoot.

Okay, kiddies.

Playtime's over.

Where do you think you're going?

I'm on a case.

Where do you think you're going?

What do you mean?

I'm not going anywhere.

So we're clear on that.

Yeah. I didn't think so.

Jeff. What's up, man? It's Trey.

Hey, you remember that Simple Plan

video shoot you were telling me about?

Yeah. Where is it?

It's 59th and Ninth. Are you sure?

That's awesome, man. You rock.

I owe you. Bye.

Boy, talk about anal-retentive.

This girl is a cuckoo bird.

I'm surprised she doesn't have trips to the

bathroom scheduled. Wait, right here, 3:30.

- Look, I think we...

- You're late.

I think we got off on the wrong foot

a while back.

I just wanna know... Okay.

Give me my chip.

- What's this?

- It's your chip.

- Excuse me?

- Well, you see, Reinaldo here...

...he ate your chip.

- Reinaldo ate my chip.

- Is this some kind of joke?

- I don't joke.

Can I have my day planner back?

You know what I think I do?

I think I run over the dog with the car.

No, wait, that might damage the chip.

You give me my chip, or I'll kill you!

Cough it up, pooch.

No, no. Please don't hurt him.

Give it to me. Let me have it!

Good shot, Reinaldo.

Disgusting!

Mike one, check. Testing, one, two.

One, two.

Excuse me, fellas.

Excuse me, Cochise. Thattaboy.

- I'm so excited.

- Thanks.

- You're good.

- Roxy.

- Hi.

- Hey.

I was wondering if you knew

where my mom's dog was.

But I mean, I also wanted

to see you again.

Come on! Move it!

- Do you have a pass?

- No.

I'll be right back, okay?

So just stay here.

- I'll figure it out.

- Figure it out somewhere else, okay?

Simple Plan.

They rock.

Got all their LPs.

I'm sorry, I didn't get your name.

Is it Loser?

How come you're not in school?

Okay, okay. Don't worry.

I've got bigger fish to fry.

- Excuse me. Coming through.

- Thanks for coming to this video shoot.

We're gonna need

a lot of your energy today.

So are you guys ready?

Are we ready?

Rox, where are you?
