There you go.

This isn't a good idea.

You don't know anything about children.

It's 10 minutes.

What's he going to do, dry out?

Come on, we'll kick back,

have a couple of beers, huh?

Okay, one beer.

You got business to take care of.

Just relax, it's gonna be fine.

I'll keep an eye on James

and James'll keep an eye on me.

Daisy is on her way, so Gordon's

gonna watch you for a few minutes.

Are you okay with that?

-Let's go!

-Okay, okay.

Move it! Move it now!

This is important. Remind Daisy

to always check the food pyramid.

This is a list of what he can watch

and when, only an hour a day, no PG.

No video games, all right?

You've got to make sure that

she takes him to piano and soccer.

Look, it's all in the schedule.

All the shaded green areas

are all free playtime.

Daisy knows all this, right?

She's been watching him for two years.

Right. You're right. Okay.

Mommy will be home tomorrow, and

when Mommy's away who do we listen to?

-Daisy.

-Right. And remember, follow....

"Follow the rules and playtime will follow."

Got it.

I love you.

-Gordon, you're a lifesaver.

-Yeah, all five flavors.

All people waiting for you!

Don't make smoochie-smoochie.

Everybody, put on seat belts!

All right, there it goes! Run, baby, run!

Knock him on his ass!

My bad. Knock him to the asphalt!

Knock him to the asphalt!

I hope the babysitter gets here soon

so we can go to the big screen.

I know.

Hello? Daisy, yeah, it's Gordon.

Where are you?

What do you mean, you can't come?

The game's on. Get your butt over here.

Food poisoning?

Daisy, listen, you can have

food poisoning over here...

...with James.

I don't understand what you're saying.

I don't think she's coming.

Don't worry.

Your mom'll be back tomorrow,

and Benny will hang with us.

You're hanging yourself fine.

Remember, if he gets scared, cries...

...or messes his drawers, give me a call.

Benny, he's gonna be fine.

I wasn't talking to you,

I was talking to him.

James, if he goes to the bathroom

longer than five minutes...

...light a match.

I'll be watching the big screen!

You're on your own, dog!

That ain't funny. Benny!

I'm hungry.

Good. Okay, food, I could do that.

-Come on, kid.

-I can't have breakfast now.

-Why not?

-It's dinnertime.

So?

I don't know about this.

Doesn't your mommy make you clean?

Occasionally, I take a flamethrower

to it and start all over again.

What's that smell?

That's the smell of a man.

It's what a man's place smells like.

But listen. Come over here.

We gotta go over some rules here.

Listen carefully.

This is my stuff.

Look at it.

It's beautiful. It's 500 watts

of Dolby Digital sound.

Stereo, receiver, DVD player.

The tower of power!

Check it out.

Don't touch it.

You hear that? Can you feel it, baby?

-Say, "Don't touch Gordon's stuff."

-"Don't touch Gordon's stuff."

We're gonna get along just fine.

Here we go.

Some natural whole-bran cereal,

just like the chart says...

...and some soy milk.

Hold it now, hold it now.

Can't forget your prunes.

All right, dig in.

-Your mom ever say anything about me?

-I heard her with Daisy.

Listening in to your mom's conversations?

That's good.

-What'd she say?

-She said that you're funny.

Funny? Funny, that's good.

Yeah, we like funny.

-What else?

-That you're irresponsible.

Irresponsible?

Irresponsible, waste your time...

...and you only want one thing.

Oh, and you're some kind of hound.

She said that?

What's she got you eating here?

It's good.

How can you eat that?

"No sugar added"?

And they're proud of that?

I want to tell you about this man I know.

His name's Cap'n Crunch.

He's got some friends, too.

Count Chocula and Toucan Sam.

Froot Loops.

I'm not allowed.

Wait, wait. You see, the warden's away.

Just us guys here. We hunt,

we gather, we eat what we want.

What if my mom finds out?

I won't tell if you don't.

I see why it says

I shouldn't have given you sugar.

Those are live animals!

Catch me!

I want this Agent 1 1 taken out.

I don't know.

An FBI agent could be a little tricky.

This guy is huge!

Not him, you moron. The dog.

Agent 1 1 is a dog.

That's funny. That's a good one, Sonny.

That's a good one.

You want we should whack a dog?

You two tubs of blubber think that's funny?

-There's no reason to get personal.

-This is personal!

It don't get no more personal!

I want the dog dead!

All right, all right, Sonny.

But, you know, we're pros.

How we gonna hold our heads up

in the community...

...with people knowing we're going

around to put the whack on a pooch?

I mean, we got an image.

If the two of you don't whack this pooch...

...then you will get whacked.

Okay. You're the boss.

No problem.

Do regular fees apply?

-Come on.

-What'd I say?

It is important that your dog...

You see him?

...know work ethic.

It's a bunch of puppies.

But he also wants to please you.

Teach him to work, to work well,

and in the end that is all he will want.

-Michaels, what are you doing?

-Nothing, sir.

Is Agent 44 your pet?

-No, sir.

-He's not.

-He's an FBI agent.

-Yes, sir.

-You wouldn't tickle an agent's belly.

-No, sir.

You don't see me tickling

Agent Cassavettes' underbelly, do you?

No, you do not!

Get this through your head!

This is not a drill!

These dogs will save your life.

Agent 1 1 saved mine several times.

So don't tickle my animals.

All canine agents wear

an lnvisible Fence collar...

...which gives a shock designed

to get his attention.

Since we work exclusively

with hand signals...

...sometimes it is necessary

to prompt the dog to look back.

This causes serious discomfort.

For the dog's safety...

...the collar has a voltage regulator

to prevent power surges.

Never introduce a metal object

or you'll light your animal up.

A demonstration of the collar by

the most decorated canine in FBI history.

-That's him!

-You sure?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, a little older maybe,

but that's him.

Attack!

Come to Papa. Now!

-You said, "Now."

-I meant now "now," not "now"!

Word on the street is Sonny Talia

put the hit out on Agent 1 1 .

Not that we're surprised.

If Talia can infiltrate our training facility,

Agent 1 1 isn't safe here.

I've decided to call Witness Protection

in on this.

Agent Murdoch, Agent Sharp.

-This is a highly unusual--

-Agent Sharp, Agent 1 1 .

This is a highly unusual request.

But the agency is very concerned.

To be able to do something like this,

Talia must have a man on the inside....

Until we learn who that is,

we will be relocating Agent 1 1 ...

...to a protected environment.

-Okay, so where will we be going?

-Not "we."

Agent 1 1 is going alone.

-So you're taking him away from me?

-Let it go. It's for his own good.

But we're a team.

Agent 1 1 is my most important tool.

What would I be without him?

Nothing at all!

You can't take him away from me!

That's like taking away my gun!

That'll be fine.

Hey, little buddy.

Little hair of the dog that bit you.

I feel better.
