Snow Dogs Page #6

Synopsis: When Miami dentist Ted Brooks learns that his birth mother has passed away and that he was named in her will, he travels to Alaska to claim his inheritance. Rather than the large chunk of change that many people would expect, Ted instead receives his mother's pack of rowdy sled dogs and her property. Although the dogs seemingly have it in for Ted, he decides to keep the dogs and race them in the local race, the Arctic Challenge, spiting a mountain man who wants the dogs. What follows is a comedy detailing Ted's adventures in learning to run the sled dogs.

See...

we were independent spirits,

Lucy and me.

Oh, we'd see each other

from time to time

and, you know...

But I did love her.

Oh... oh, I loved that woman.

I miss her.

Did she love you?

Well, she said so once.

And then she poked me

right in the face.

Yeah, but you turned out okay.

Look...

I bet Lucy would be proud

of you.

I know I am.

Mrs. Brooks

why don't you

come inside?

They'll sound off the siren

when one of them comes in.

I'm not going to leave him.

I can't.

All right, guys, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Okay, Demon,

let's get that harness on.

Oh, that dog's

not going anywhere.

Well, what's wrong with him?

He's, uh, gnawing at his harness

won't eat.

He's just one unappy dog.

Gnawing at his harness, huh?

Yeah.

All right, Demon, let's take

a look at your chompers.

Oh...!

Okay, Demon.

You leave me no choice.

Good, good boy.

Come.

I can't believe

you actually

bit that dog on the ear.

But that's what everyone says

you're supposed to do.

Well, sure, but...

I never met a man dumb enough

to do it.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Good boy.

Open wide.

There we go.

Let's see what you got there.

Here's the problem.

Oh, okay, all right.

All right, Demon.

Trust me,

I'm not going to hurt you.

Okay?

My, my, my.

Well, if you want

to bite me now, go ahead.

Mush!

There's a medic down

at Caribou Falls.

What do you want to do?

I have never not finished

a race.

Well, I'm not going

to let you start now.

Hah!

Go ahead, Demon!

Teddy, I'm slipping out.

- Whoa!

- Hang on, Jack!

- Whoa!

- Hang on!

Aah!

Oh...

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Demon, get it, baby!

Way to go, Demon!

Barb, I have a

confession to make.

Are you Barb?

I never told Ted

he was adopted.

I know.

There were so many times

when I could have told him.

It would have been

the right

thing to do.

I know that now.

But from the first moment

I held him in my arms

I couldn't have

loved him more.

But I was afraid.

I was afraid if I

told him the truth

he wouldn't love us...

not in the same way.

Barb, tell me he's going

to cross that finish line.

He's going to cross

the finish line.

Amelia, he's going to cross

the finish line.

Oh, I know, dear

it's just a

mother's worry.

I keep thinking...

It's the siren.

He's coming in.

Oh...

That's it!

Let's go!

What's going on?

Oh...

Yeah!

Oh, Barb!

Oh... oh, wait!

Get me a close-up.

Oh, wow!

Let me help you, Jack.

Not bad for a dentist

from Miami, huh?

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

Ted!

Ted!

Let me through, please.

Ted!

You're here.

You came all

the way here

to Alaska.

I got on a plane

and 14 hours of prayer later,

here I am.

Come here... there's someone

I want you to meet.

Jack... this...

this here's my mama.

Oh, baby. Oh, baby.

Well, it, uh...

it certainly is a pleasure

to meet you, ma'am.

You and your husband

certainly did a fine job

with this guy.

Oh, Barb.

He's an amazing guy.

He really is.

I'm so happy for you.

Dr. Brooks, the honour is yours.

Jack, I believe

you earned this.

Oh, no, no, no.

I think we both should

blow it out together.

When love puts you

through the fire

When love puts you

to the test

Nothing cures a broken heart

Like time,

love and tenderness

You think

your world is over

Baby, just remember this

Nothing heals a broken heart

Like time,

love and tenderness

Time, love and tenderness

I understand

how you're feeling now

And what you've been through

But your world's going

to turn around

So, baby, don't you be blue

All it takes is

a little time

To make it better

The hurt won't last forever

Oh...

When love puts you

through the fire

When love puts you

to the test

Nothing cures

a broken heart

Like time, love

and tenderness

You think your world is over

Baby, just remember this

Nothing heals a broken heart

Like time, love

and tenderness

Time, love and tenderness

When love puts you

through the fire

When love puts you

to the test

Nothing cures a broken heart

Like time, love

and tenderness

You think your world is over

Baby, just remember this...

Okay, Ernie.

Dr. Brooks is ready

to see you now.

I haven't finished

reading about the crown

and the bridge yet.

Come on.

Oh, well...

Oh, here they are.

Avalanche.

Little Aleutia.

And there's Chinook.

And my favorite,

Demon Junior.

Good to see you, Ernie.

Doctor, is this

going to hurt?

Oh, just a little.

More than a tickle

and less than

paying your taxes.

Do-do-do-do-do, do-do

Okay, open wide.

As around the sun

The earth knows

she's revolving

And the rosebuds know

to bloom in early May

Just as hate knows

love's the cure

You can rest

your mind assured

I'll be loving you

always

Until the rainbow burns

the stars out in the sky

Always

Until the ocean covers

every mountain high

Always

Until the dolphin flies

and parrots live at sea

Always

Until we dream of life

and life becomes a dream

Just as time knew to move on

since the beginning

And the seasons know

exactly when to change

Just as kindness

knows no shame

Know through all

yourjoy and pain

I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns

the stars out in the sky

Always

Until the ocean covers

every mountain high

Always

Until the dolphin flies

and parrots live at sea

I'll be loving you

Until we dream of life

and life becomes a dream

Did you know

true love asks for nothing?

True love

Her acceptance is

the way we pay

The way we pay

Did you know that life

has given love a guarantee?

To last forever

and another day

Today I know I'm living

for tomorrow

Could make me the past

but then I mustrt fear

For I'll know

deep in my mind

The love of me

I've left behind

I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns

the stars out in the sky

Always

Until the ocean covers

every mountain high

I'll be loving you

Until the dolphin flies

and parrots live at sea

Always

Until we dream of life

and life becomes a dream

We don't know

Until the rainbow burns

the stars out in the sky

Until the ocean covers

every mountain high

Until the dolphin flies

and parrots live at sea

Until we dream of life

and life becomes a dream

Until the rainbow burns

the stars out in the sky

Until the ocean covers

every mountain high

Until the dolphin flies

and parrots live at sea

Until we dream of life

and life becomes a dream

Until the rainbow burns

the stars out in the sky

Until the ocean covers

every mountain high

Always, always

Until the dolphin flies

and parrots live at sea

Until we dream of life

and life becomes a dream.
