The Dog Who Saved Christmas Page #5

No no no, George, George,

wait wait, please.

You can't give up on me...

not you.

I'm gonna take care

of all this in the morning.

I can drop you off then.

No, George, please,

you can't give up on me. I promise...

Listen, there's plenty

of water and food,

so, you know,

make yourself feel at home.

No no, you can't give up on me.

I promise I'll be a good dog.

I won't break anything.

I'll learn how to bark.

Sorry, buddy.

I guess it just wasn't

meant to be.

Of course it's meant to be.

You and I, George...

we're like peanut butter and jelly,

salt and pepper.

We just go together.

- George, where are you going?

- Hey, kids.

- You can't leave me. It's Christmas.

- Come say goodbye to Zeus.

I can't believe

this is really happening

on Christmas.

Get lost in the shadows

of days gone by

But you never forget

when the moment is right

So mark this day

With a kiss

It doesn't get

Better than this.

We're gonna miss you, bud.

Mom, do we really have to

get rid of Zeussy?

Well...

yes, honey, we do.

But listen,

I don't want you to worry,

because we are gonna get you

a really nice, cute new puppy.

- A puppy?

- Zeus:
A puppy?

But what's gonna happen

to Zeussy?

Well, Zeussy is going to find

a really nice home,

the right home for him.

- Zeus:
But I have a home. It's right here.

- Okay?

We were a good home.

I know, but we just weren't

the right one for him.

So...

you have to

say goodbye now, okay?

'Cause Grandma's waiting for us.

All right?

- Okay, come on.

- All right, okay.

All right, Zeussy.

All right, buddy.

See you later, okay?

See you later.

See you later.

Zeus:
You know, wait, Ben.

Don't go, Ben, please.

I'll do better, I promise.

Ben, don't go.

Oh, no.

No, Kara, Kara, don't cry.

Kara, it's okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Look at the size

of that house.

I know.

Older man:
Look, they're going

on a trip.

Younger man:
We just

caught a break.

It's gonna make our job

so much easier.

How?

Where do you think

they're going?

Who cares where they're going?

They're going.

That's gonna make our job easier.

Look at that snowman.

And look at those reeds.

Those are real reeds

right there.

Those aren't reeds

that you just buy at the corner.

Somebody took the time and made those.

Those gotta go for $198 retail.

We could sell those, Ted.

Imagine the jewelry...

watches, necklaces...

electronics.

Imagine the kitchen. They got two of them,

and a freezer downstairs.

And that's where they have the meat

and the cupcakes.

See, I know about that stuff.

No no no, Stewey,

no funny business.

We go in, we get the loot,

we get out. That's it.

Oops, sorry, kids.

I just forgot one thing inside.

Belinda:
You have

your seat belts on?

And they got hot chocolate

and marshmallows

and cookies and oatmeal cookies.

I've been away for a long time.

That joint... they don't take care of you

over the holidays.

They give you, you know,

pasteurized turkey.

You can't live on that stuff

on the holidays.

Ah.

Here we go.

Santa's gonna love

Belinda's homemade

chocolate-chip cookies.

It's funny...

she doesn't make the cookies for me.

Actually, that might be

one too many.

Yeah, I'll eat the rest

of those later.

You mess this up...

you're gonna be back in the joint.

Okay?

We go in, we get the goods,

we get out.

That's it. No eating.

No funny business.

This is business business.

You think they got a dog?

'Cause I hate dogs.

Ted, I've always hated dogs,

whether they are little, big,

small, fat.

I don't want no dogs.

That time you told me there wasn't a dog,

I climbed into a doggy window

and there was a dog.

And he almost bit me.

And you know what?

I got no insurance this time,

so I can't even go to the hospital.

I don't want no dogs.

I'm telling you right now

I don't want to see a dog. If I see a dog,

I'm gonna have an anxiety attack

and I gotta go to a prison acupuncturist.

I gotta make an appoint...

Stewey, what have we been doing

for the last two days?

Sitting here.

I don't know.

Have you heard a dog bark?

No.

No. Exactly.

No dog, okay?

(breathing deeply)

With this house we'll finally

pay off that debt to Tony Roe.

And I can stop my diet.

And if we have any money

left over,

you'll get that nose job

you've always been talking about.

It's not a nose job.

I have a deviated septum.

The one in your house

or the one here?

It's... it's...

at the house.

(Zeus whining)

Wait, guys. Come back.

Don't do this. Don't do this, please.

I'm sorry, okay?

George, George, don't leave me.

I'm your best friend.

George.

- Oh, no.

- Bye, Zeussy.

Hey, this alone thing

ain't so bad after all.

I got no one telling me

what to do

and I got the whole house

to myself.

Oh, this part gets me every time.

I'm hungry.

I'm gonna look for a little snack.

Who says dogs shouldn't be

eating candy?

All right.

- (toy barking)

- Come here, come here.

What are you looking at? Are you

looking at me? What's your problem?

Huh, I smell something.

What's that?

Cookies?

Are those cookies? Yes!

Cookies, come to Zeus, baby.

Got 'em.

Belinda always said

to brush after every meal.

Now this is the life.

What happened when Santa Claus's cat

swallowed a ball of yarn?

She had mittens.

Voice:
Come, Zeus,

drink from my well.

Zeus:
Did I just...?

Am I going crazy?

Voice:
You're not going crazy.

You're just alone and thirsty.

Whoa.

Voice:
Don't worry,

Belinda will understand.

- Zeus:
Bottoms up.

- Come, enjoy.

It's cool and refreshing.

- This dog sure is messy.

- I know, and I love it.

What's going on?

Franz, is that you?

Plumbers.

Zeus:
I get it.

This is all a setup.

George isn't really

bringing me back to the pound.

He just wanted to see

how I was gonna react.

All right, I'll show him.

Anybody home?

Wait a minute.

These guys don't smell like plumbers.

These guys are the real deal.

This is definitely not a test.

See? Just like I told you,

nobody home, no dog.

It's gonna be a piece of cake.

- I hope you're right, Captain.

- What did I tell you about calling me that?

You said to call you General.

You didn't say nothing about Captain.

- Don't call me anything. No nicknames.

- Okay.

I gotta do something.

These guys are coming to rob the house.

I'm gonna get this one.

Step aside.

You know what you're doing?

I worked for a locksmith.

You forget about these things.

Keep your eye out there.

Ahh.

Come on, baby.

Come on, let Uncle Stewey

teach you.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

What's taking so long?

Relax.

This is my first time.

I thought you said

you worked for a locksmith.

Shh. I did, but I made keys.

I know just the thing

to get rid of these hooligans.

Here.

Use this.

Now you're talking.

Step aside.

(dogs barking)

Argh!

I don't like dogs.

I'm scared of dogs.

I won't work with dogs.

I've been telling you...

No, you are going inside.

Yes, you are.

I hate dogs. I'm scared of them.
