Step Dogs Page #2

Synopsis: When humble rancher Rick Patterson marries movie star Sabrina Eastman, his son Josh (10) finds himself with a new step-sister, Lacey (14). Josh is an introverted boy who doesn't have a lot of confidence and Lacey is a spoiled Hollywood brat who's angry at Sabrina for not letting her have her own reality show. The two kids do not get along and neither do their respective dogs: Josh's dog Meatball is a scruffy, farm mutt who's laid-back and friendly; Cassie is a prim, spoiled, purse city dog who is not into country living. Rick and Sabrina go on their honeymoon for a couple of days, leaving Lacey and Josh in the care of Krystal, a hippie-trippy New Age neighbour. When Lacey sees some people outside the house one night, she starts to think someone is watching the house but Josh dismisses her fears. However, as Cassie quickly develops her 'country nose', she learns that Lacey wasn't wrong. She and Meatball discover that a pair of bumbling crooks, Louie and Terrance, are plotting to steal S

If something happens to you

guys, I'll see it on the news.

Could you just say one nice

thing to me before I leave?

I hope your honeymoon doesn't stink.

Hey.

You'll be fine.

It's just a week.

A week is just the start.

She'll be here forever.

Run along, now.

You don't want to miss that plane.

He'll be fine.

Alright.

Okay.

Bye Josh.

See ya.

Bye Krystal.

Bye!

Adios, Amigos!

Oh please.

Do you even speak Spanish?

Well of course I do!

Taco.

Burrito.

Fajita.

The whole enchilada!

What?

What?

I swear that little dog

is looking right at me!

Probably smells your

bad breath or something.

Okay look.

We wait until they go out,

then we make our move.

Alright.

Wait, why are we breaking in here again?

Didn't you used to work for her?

Yeah I used to work for her.

Then she decided to quit making movies

and now I'm out of a job.

Right, right.

So, why don't you just get another job?

Because I made too many enemies

working for her.

You know, you should really

work on that.

You know you can count

more flies with sugar

than you can with vinegar.

It's catch more flies.

Pretty sure it's count.

I'm pretty sure it's catch.

And in Hollywood, you

have to stick it to them

before they stick it to you.

It's the rule of the jungle.

And now for my ultimate act of revenge,

I'm going to steal her

precious North Star diamond

and sell it to the buyer I set up.

And live like a king off the profits.

Boy you cats sure can run fast.

I mean, I had no idea a cat

could run that fast.

I'm not a cat.

You're not a cat?

What are you?

Like, a gopher then?

No.

Possum?

No, I'm a dog!

A dog?

You ain't no dog.

Why, you ain't no bigger

than a freckle on a flea.

I'm a dog you bumpkin.

Ugh, it stinks out here.

Oh yeah, sorry.

It was AllYouCanEat chili

at Big Al's last night

and well I'm sure you can understand.

No, not that you big buffoon.

It's something else.

Hey!

I think you're getting

your country nose on!

My what?

Oh yeah, you see city

dogs have a city nose,

and country dogs got

themselves a country nose.

My range of smell is uh

much greater than yours

so you're probably just

smelling a skunk or something.

A skunk?

I don't think I've ever seen one.

Do they get pretty big?

Well now they're about your size.

But they smell a whole lot bigger,

I'll tell you that for free.

Okay, well that sounds really bad.

Oh yeah it's bad.

Makes Big Al's chili look

like a walk in the park.

I can't even begin to tell ya...

I am so out of here.

Cassie?

Okay.

Yeah?

We wait until it gets dark,

we go back to the house,

we see where we can get in.

We do some reconnaissance.

Okay, uh wait.

Uh reconnas... what?

Reconnaissance.

It's an army term.

I learned it in the cadets

but I had to quit

because camping gave me diarrhea.

Right right, okay.

I have the same problem with hot dogs.

Really?

I'm not joining the army though.

You don't have to.

Let's go.

O.

M.

G.

There's no wifi?

How am I supposed to get on

the internet?

My life is over.

No, you just have to...

What?

Communicate with the outside

world with smoke signals?

No, you just have to...

What?

Do I need a shorthand radio

or morse code?

Or maybe I'll just send

faxes all day long.

We have wifi.

You just have to enter

the network password.

Oh, sorry.

What is it?

It's Meatball101.

Hey, why's your dog named

Meatball anyway?

Oh, uh, well it was his favourite food.

And he used to do this trick

where he'd bounce a meatball

on his nose and then he'd

flick it up in the air

and catch it with his mouth.

Hmm, that's a shame.

Yeah, he doesn't really do it anymore.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You think I care.

Isn't this exciting?

A new sister.

Stepsister.

And no, it's not exciting.

What's wrong?

She's kind of a drama queen.

Well, she is from Hollywood.

Give her a chance, she's

in a new, unfamiliar place.

I'll give her a chance

if she gives me a chance.

You two have more in common

than you think.

This is bogus.

You know how I was supposed

to spend my winter vacation?

On a reality show.

It was going to be all

about me and my life.

But Sabrina wouldn't' sign the release.

That explains why you were such

a crab cake at the wedding.

I was not a crab cake.

What is this?

Macrobiotic food.

Cool! I love macrobiotic food.

Everyone in Hollywood eats this stuff.

Everyone in Hollywood, eats this stuff.

Oh, by the way.

Did Sabrina give you the

recipe for Cassie's dog food?

Mhm.

I followed it to the letter.

Thank you.

Can you please not feed

any of that chunk to Meatball?

Don't worry.

I made his favourite.

Oh yeah, bring me those meatballs!

Meatballs for Meatball.

Woohoo!

What are you having?

A recipe from my holistic veterinarian.

Uhh, you want a meatball?

Eww!

Gross.

Eww!

What?

Don't look at me.

Okay, which one of you is it?

Meatball, come on.

What?

Wasn't me!

What are you guys all looking at?

That dog is sleeping in the

garage tonight.

I think you're sniffing up the wrong

Ooh. Hehe.

Sorry about that.

My bad.

Ooh, that's just meatballs

coming back on me.

That was me.

Ooh that's a bad one.

I'll just be in the garage.

Go go go go!

Hey hey hey hey.

We are never going to get anything done

unless that dog stops barking.

This is a lot of fun.

I know, I know man.

I'm having fun too.

Okay, go go go go!

Josh, wake up!

There's someone outside!

What?

Meatball's probably just barking

at a raccoon or something.

No! I saw someone!

What's that?

Nothing.

Where'd you see them?

Come on, let's go.

Okay! Okay!

I don't see anything.

I don't know.

I think I saw them go that way.

Oh Meatball, be quiet.

Meatball!

Be quiet!

Oh, Meatball.

I love meatballs.

I could really go for a

meatball sub right now.

Will you shut up please?

Okay, yeah yeah.

Thank you.

What exactly did you see?

There were shadows moving around.

Woah. You woke me up for shadows?

Yeah!

I woke you up for shadows!

Ow! Ow ow ow ow!

Charlie horse!

Don't! Stop that.

Charlie horse!

I need you to stop that.

Searing pain!

Oh no!

Get your hands up.

Odin's ugly sister I am going down!

What is it?

Get out of here.

Alright.

I think I know what

we're dealing with here.

Paparazzi, right?

They're trying to get a shot

of me living in the sticks.

Could be.

Or it might be a couple of kids

whose parents left them alone

for a few days who need some attention.

Sorry Sheriff.

Oh no need to apologize Krystal.

But Josh, I expect better from you.

Lacey said she saw something.

Yeah?

What'd they look like?

Shadows.

Look, kids, there's more

campgrounds around here

than I can count.

Some folks enjoy tooling

around the woods at night.

Can't say I like it, but it's nothing

to call the police over.

But Sheriff!

When you kids called I was

having a nice little dream

about scoring the winning

touchdown in the Superbowl.

Now if you don't mind,

I'd like to get back in time

for the after party.

Alright, back to bed.

Why do you keep stopping?
