off my neck!

Birdy, birdy, birdy! Narf!

No!

James, put that down!

James, put that down.

Say we'll keep Spot.

We can't. He's not--

Okay, okay! You can keep the dog.

Here we go! You ready?

Go get it, girl!

Hey, there.

That's him.

Wrong dog.

Do you mind?

I gotta take these two creatures

to the park...

...and I don't need you giving me attitude.

Don't you all look adorable?

Look, you got a kid,

you got the dog, you got you.

Norman Rockwell, man.

Let me get a picture.

Say "Tupac! "

"Tupac! "

You see that, dog? He said, "Tupac."

I feel like such a proud mama right now.

Look...

...my family.

All right, you want to come to the park?

Park? For what, man?

To watch you watch the dog?

The dog don't move!

He ain't moved since I walked in!

Look at him!

-I think he broke.

-Yeah.

Get Spot's ball, we'll get the Frisbee.

Meet in the hall.

Go get it, Spot!

Go get it.

Maybe the Frisbee will work.

Come on, go get the Frisbee.

What's wrong with you?

You see anything?

Just keep your eyes peeled.

Where does a mutt go?

Take it easy.

He has a bladder condition.

He can't control himself.

I got your bladder condition over here.

Take it easy. Come on.

Get your mutt out of here! Take a hike!

Jeez, it stinks, Gino.

You think it'll stain?

Hey, help!

He stole her purse!

Help!

There he is.

-Spot!

-James, come here!

Spot, come back!

Sorry, man. That dog is totally psycho.

Where's that crazy dog?

There he is.

Spot, no!

Bad dog! What are you doing?

I'm sorry. He's not really my dog.

I didn't know he was a thief!

What?

What's that?

Listen, I said I'm sorry.

Oh, I get it. How much you want? $20?

$25.

Come on, that purse ain't worth

more than that.

I said I'm sorry.

Hey, back off. What's the matter, lady?

Gordon, it's me again.

I can't believe it. This is terrible.

I made it out of the snow,

but all the roads are blocked.

The stupid bus is stuck.

I don't know how I'll get back.

You really don't know

how much I appreciate this.

You're a good man, Gordon.

Hey, Gordon?

You know what? I really hate asking this...

...but the thing is, James has

this little trouble sleeping....

I gotta go.

What's wrong?

I can't take it anymore!

I can't sleep! I can't eat!

I'm an emotional wreck!

It's all right.

You're here now.

Cassavettes...

...l don't know how to tell you this.

-Are you wearing 1 1's dog tag?

-He's feeling what I'm feeling.

I talked to Danvers.

He's only had one cup of kibbles today.

The dog? You came here

to talk about the dog?

Of course! He's my partner! I miss him!

We've never been apart this long.

He's always been a good eater,

just like me, even when he was a puppy.

This is not healthy.

I want you to fly up there...

...check on him,

and get this out of your system.

Really?

There you go.

You do the crime, you do the time.

I told you he wouldn't like that.

Of course he likes that.

That's what that sound means.

Yeah, right.

Come on, it's bedtime.

Just holler if you need anything.

Good night, Spot.

Are you kidding?

Stupid dog!

What's the racket about?

Okay, I get it.

I'm glad you can sleep.

Wait, my keys.

Let's go, stupid.

Come on, go already.

What now?

That's nasty. I'm not picking that up.

What's the big idea?

All right, I'm sorry

I tied you to the furnace.

Let me in.

All right. Where you going?

Come back here!

Where are you going? You stupid dog.

Oh, God. Nasty.

God!

Shut up down there!

I'm covered in caca!

God.

Oh, God.

Spot. I'm gonna kill you.

Come on.

Got some ID?

ID?

I don't think so.

Don't get wise, buddy.

Listen, I live right here.

The dog locked me out.

You been drinking?

No, I have not been drinking!

I'm taking care of the neighbor's kid...

...then this dog came!

Came from where?

Hell.

This is Satan's dog. I'm telling you!

He gets mad at the drop of a hat!

He got pissed off and locked me

out of my own house! He's crazy!

Put your hands on your head!

Okay, let's just try to relax here.

He locked me out of my house.

Satan's dog locked you out?

Yeah.

You think I'd do this to myself?.

Come with us.

We'll get someone who can help you.

Not in my car. He reeks.

Oh, thank God! James!

See, that's the kid!

And that's the dog!

Son, do you know him?

That's Gordon. He lives here.

Next time you step outside, sir,

I suggest you take your keys.

Thanks, I'll remember that.

Let me in the house!

This is crazy, Gino.

Sonny will nail our heads together.

I say we get our passports,

start to learn Spanish.

Arliss...

...you gotta focus.

All we gotta do is get in the dog's head.

So every place a dog has gotta go...

...we hang the posters.

Sooner or later he's gotta show.

And when he does, bada-bing.

That's smart.

What are you doing?

You're doing it all wrong.

Come on, check it out.

You gotta put a bunch of junk on it.

Let me give you some style.

Here you go.

Yeah, that's it. Yeah, get crazy.

Girls love that.

That's the look.

Yeah.

See? That's got attitude.

Gordon, what was your daddy like?

My daddy?

Well, I'm just like you.

I don't have a daddy.

What about your mommy?

-Well, I didn't have a mommy either.

-You didn't have a mommy?

Hey, man, it's cool.

I mean, look at Spot.

Spot doesn't have a mommy or daddy.

He's a stray, but he's happy.

I mean, he's a little screwed up,

but he's happy.

I'm sorry you didn't have

a mommy, Gordon.

I didn't need a mommy.

If I did have one,

she'd probably comb my hair like this.

Make me look foolish.

Mush! Come on!

Tigger, you made it.

It's Tiger, you moron!

You seem awfully happy to be here.

This is not a smile.

My face is frozen like this!

Now, how's Agent 1 1?

That's not Agent 1 1 !

Well, that's the dog they sent us.

-Cassavettes.

-The dog that jumped out was Agent 1 1 .

The tags were switched!

-Are you sure?

-I'm positive.

It had to be Sharp.

Forget it.

She's long gone.

Okay, Spot, let's try it again.

Listen up, Spot. I got no time for you.

And I know you don't like me either.

You're your own dog.

You like to hang back.

I'm down with that.

But I'm here to talk about the kid.

See, his mom keeps him on a short leash.

You hear what I'm saying?

I'd like to see the kid have some fun.

Let's go, Spot. Let's hook

the kid up with some fun.

Let's go! Let's go have some fun!

Come on, let's go have some fun!

I'm sorry, James.

Let's just go.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Come on.

What's he doing?

I don't know.

Why don't you try throwing it?

How about that?

Good boy, good boy.

Here, come on, Spot.

Come on, jump up.

Come on, Spot. Good boy.

-Did you see how high he jumped?

-Yeah, like five feet.

Our boy can play!

-He isn't retarded.

-No, he's a smart dog.

Thanks, Spot. I owe you one.

What do you say we get him a bone

or a snack or whatever dogs eat?

Get out of here!

-You believe these kids?

-No respect.

That's our mutt!

-That's our mutt!

-Let's go.

All right, you go get the dog...

...one of those.... Whatever he wants.
