The Dog Who Saved Summer Page #2

when mommy has

guests at the house.

It wasn't my fault.

I was trying to stop Versace.

The two of you sit down.

Wait here for your father and I.

Behave and watch your sister.

I don't like this.

Kara:

I'm worried.

The last time Zeusy

did something like this,

they talked about sending him

back to the pound.

Ben?

Remote control helicopters!

Glad to see you're worried, too.

Woman:
We're a small,

selective school.

Vernon only accepts a handful

of students at a time

and he never accepts a student

he doesn't feel he can turn around.

Oh, well.

It was worth a shot. Let's go.

Can you tell us just

a little bit about the program?

It's four days

of intensive training

followed by our annual

Fun in the Sun Showcase.

Ah, showcase.

Well, that sounds like fun,

- doesn't it?

- It sure does.

I can't wait to sit on the couch

and watch it on TV.

It's a chance

for all our students

to showcase what

they've learned.

It's a big production.

I was telling Vernon we should

hire someone to coordinate it.

Well, you know, Belinda here

is a party planner.

- You are?

- Yes, lam.

If you're serious

about needing some help,

I would be happy

to offer my services.

I don't know. We already had

a bid on one planner,

- and Marilyn's got a lot of experience.

- Marilyn?

Uh-oh.

That touched a nerve.

- You know her?

- How about this?

I will do it for half

of whatever she's offering.

Belinda, half?

You don't wanna seem desperate.

Honey, this is a chance

to redeem myself and prove

that Katherine's baby shower

- was just a fluke.

- It was a fluke.

Wait, you did

Catherine Clancy's baby shower?

The one where all the presents

ended up on fire?

Actually, they got

dumped into the pool.

- George!

- It's funny.

Okay. How about

I will do it for 25%?

(sighs)

How do you feel about

a summery theme, like Hawaiian?

- I feel great about Hawaii.

- Belinda, Hawaii, it's so hot

and there's all that

lava flowing.

Honey, honey, we're not

going there. It's just a theme.

But if it's, you know, authentic,

am I gonna have to wear a skirt?

Terrific. I will get started

on planning that right away.

- Good.

- And in the meantime,

- we will enroll Zeusy.

- We will?

Don't bring me into this.

Yes, we will.

Belinda on machine:

Hey, Mom.

Belinda on machine:

Hey, Mom.

Listen, I just want to

thank you for referring me

to that obedience school.

Not only are they really

trying to help Zeus,

they hired me to plan the party

for their big showcase.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

Talk to you soon. Bye.

Oh, that sounds like everything

is going good.

Okay. Let's see.

Rash may last five to 12 days.

Oh, boy.

Your canine does not know

defiance, do they?

- All:
No, Vernon.

- Your canine does not know fear,

- do they?

- No, Vernon!

Your canine does not know

failure, do they?

- No, Vernon.

- What do we learn here?

- Vernon's way, sir.

- And what is that?

- Sit. Listen. Obey.

- Louder.

Sit. Listen. Obey.

- Sorry, we're late.

- You're in trouble, newbie.

Yikes. Who is this guy?

He's the PIC.

What's that supposed to mean?

You know, the person in charge.

- Quiet, mongrels.

- You.

- Me?

- No, the rocket scientist behind you.

State your name.

I'm George Bannister.

And, uh, this is Zeus.

He's a former K-9 police dog.

Aw, isn't that redundant?

- I don't know.

- George, why don't you wipe that grin

right off your face?

Let me make

something clear here.

If you're looking for a sweet

little doggie daycare center,

then you get your little

hindquarters over

to Alice's across town.

What I offer is a very serious,

very intense behavioral

training course.

Well, there's any hope

of a hind massage.

And since you can't tell time,

we meet every morning

at 9:
00 AM sharp.

Am I clear, George?

Yeah. I actually can

tell time. I just tend...

Am I clear, George?

Yes. Yes, sir.

Good.

You hear me, Zeus?

I'm going to break you so hard,

you're going to be able

to sniff your own butt.

Anyone ever tell you that your breath

smells like rotting mayonnaise?

Apollo, let's show

these new recruits

how we do things the Vernon way.

- Now, jump.

- Yes, sir!

( Scoffs )

Big deal.

You can do that

blindfolded, Zeus.

Um, sure, of course.

Blindfolded.

Everyone, welcome to Sit N' Stay

Obedience and Agility.

Fred:
Stewey,

here's your disguise.

Stewey:

I'm not wearing this, Fred.

Quit whining.

Ah! Look at the

beautiful couple.

Love is in the air.

I can feel it.

It is... electric.

- Yeah.

- How may I help you?

Well, me and my girl here

have decided to take things

to the next level,

and so, this little birdie told us

that Princivali Jewelers

was the best jewelers in town.

That little bird,

he knows his jewelry.

Now, what style of diamond

were you looking for?

Something like

in a diamond shape.

Uh...

A sense of humor.

This guy is a killer.

Why don't you two lovebirds

browse around

Mr. Princivali... he pick out

a few selections just for you.

Great.

I'm going. I'm going.

I don't want to do this.

I don't want to do this.

- Would you just stop?

- I don't want to do this.

Look, look, look.

What?

I'm gonna tell Ted

you ruined the plan.

- Huh?

- I'll do it this once.

Pull it together.

Would you just...

Just keep it together, will you?

How come I always got

to be the woman?

Because you are

the most beautiful eyes.

- Really?

- Would you knock it off?

Okay. Here's the plan.

He's going to come back,

you're gonna distract him,

then we're gonna go look

for the diamond. Plain and simple.

I'm sick of this.

You do it.

- I'm not going to do it.

- Here we are.

I have some wonderful selections

that I think will look very nice

with your particular...

Repertoire.

I'll tell you what, honey,

why don't you try a couple of these on,

and I'm going to go look

at the rings over there.

Please, I could not help

but notice some tension

between you and your fiance.

- You're not kidding.

- Because...

if you were

open to other options...

Mr. Parvacelli, I'm a lady.

Hmm. Bingo.

Shall we?

Your fingers are so thick

and very European.

- What do you think?

- That's beautiful.

Just shimmers.

It is as lovely as you.

- How does it fit?

- It's a bit... tight.

No problem.

We just try the next size up.

I just slip

this right off of you.

Look at the security

in this place.

Got cameras, motion detectors.

What's next?

You got lasers, too?

It's just a diamond.

But it's a big diamond.

I found the diamond.

I found the diamond.

I have something in the back.

It come right off.

No. no. no, no.

I got it.

I'll pull it off.

It happens all the time

when I eat chocolate.

We're so rich. Oh!

- Did you hear something?

- No, no. Ah!

- Oh, no.

- Please, let me help you.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

Here. Let me help you

with that.

- There you are.

- So, next size up.

No, no, no, no.

I think we're good.

Thank you very much

for your time.

- You can put that on layaway.

- Bongiorno.
