The Dog Who Saved Summer Page #3

Why do the good ones always

end up with losers?

Vernon:
One of the key steps

in the Vernon way

Vernon:
One of the key steps

in the Vernon way

is to instill a reward-based

behavior in your canine.

Zeus:
Oh, yeah.

That smells delicious.

If your dog

does the instructed test,

then he should be rewarded.

Uh, Georgie?

- I missed breakfast.

- Bannister, will you and Zeus

assist me

with the demonstration?

Not at all.

That's what I'm here for.

Come on.

Sit.

No, no, no.

I mean, the canine.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Why don't you give the dog

some commands, Bannister?

Okay.

Good idea.

You okay, Georgie?

You don't look so good.

Uh, I just don't feel too good.

What kind of treats are

those by the way?

- Those were dog treats.

- Dog treats?

Why would

you give us dog treats?

I didn't give them to you.

They were for the dogs.

Oh! Well, I should've put

two and two together,

but I just thought

you were giving us treats

- for being such good trainers.

- How many did you have?

Ah! Seven or eight.

( farts )

That doesn't sound

too good either.

- Uhh...

- Um...

Okay. Here's a command.

Zeus, come with Daddy.

Heel, heel.

Come with Daddy

to the bathroom right now.

Or lay down and Dad

will go to the bathroom.

Okay. I'll see you

in minute.

I expect more movement

from you, Bannister.

Oh, there's going

to be some movement all right.

I'm Colby and this

is Buster and Relish.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Buster:
So you really 5-0?

- Yes, sir.

- Then how come you're so bad at this?

K-9 police dogs,

all a bunch of wimps if you ask me.

Zeus:
What makes you

so special?

- Apollo's a former marine.

- Really? Semper fi, my friend.

Until you sniffed

the sands of Afghanistan

looking for unexploded

ordinances,

you don't have the right

to call yourself a hero.

This dog here is all puff.

I say he's phony

and has no skills.

What do you got to say

about that, meter maid?

- Zeus:
You sure do drool a lot.

- You're in my world now, K-9.

You better get used

to doing things my way.

Like that nice dog collar

you got.

- Hand it over.

- I'd rather not.

I wasn't asking.

What the...

Hey, my collar!

What are you going

to do, officer?

Arrest me for stealing?

Isn't he just a dream?

More like a night terror.

Mm-hmm. I thought a K-9

never backs down.

Oh, boy.

( Door buzzes )

You've gotta be kidding me.

( Clears throat)

What are you guys

doing down here?

( Muffled )

Okay. ls that better?

Can you hear me now?

I got you. I'm a 2A.

I tried to get an A

in the front door's way,

it's impossible's way.

What?

We tried A,

in the front door A

but we couldn't get in it.

What? I don't understand

what you're saying, Stewey.

I think what the good Father

is trying to say is...

ls that we need a new recipe

for grandma's apple pie

because the one we have now

is too complicated.

You ever heard the saying

if you can't climb the fence,

dig a trench.

No meshuggah not.

No, 'cause I just made it up.

All right?

All right, look,

the point is this.

Okay, maybe you could look

at the joint next door.

What I meant, I bet you

the recipe at the doggie school

- is much simpler.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What dogs? You know

I don't like dogs. No dogs.

- The one with the apples.

- Oh.

What you gotta do first

is you've gotta get survey

of the mall before you go.

That will tell you

how to find the apples.

Why don't we just buy an apple pie

and get it over with?

What he's saying is we

go down to the city hall

and we get the plans

to the mall.

Then we dig a tunnel

into the vault

and then we get the diamond.

- Sorry.

- So are you two numbskulls

gonna go make Uncle Ted a pie?

He always knows

how to make me happy.

I want you guys

to make me happy. okay?

And get me out of here!

Ted, I miss you.

Belinda:

Well, how did Zeus do?

George:
Not good.

He didn't listen to one word I said,

and he lost his collar.

Remember the collar?

That's genuine leather.

Lost? More like stolen.

I can't listen to this.

No one believes me.

Zeusy...

Maybe you just got off

on the wrong foot.

Belinda, this has

nothing to do with my feet.

I'm not going back there.

Discussion over.

(claps)

Look, George.

I am now planning

their annual showcase.

I mean, how is that going

to look if you quit?

Like I have common sense.

And Zeus.

What about Zeus?

I mean, let's not forget the whole

reason that we're doing this.

We?

What's this we stuff?

I'm the one down there

dealing with Sergeant Slaughter.

I'm not going.

I'm fini.

(claps)

(claps)

- Really?

- If you quit now,

there is a very big chance that

I'm going to lose this account

and then Marilyn

is going to get the job.

So, please can you just

do it for me?

There are only

three more classes.

Okay, but can we

re-evaluate after two?

- Yes.

- Great.

Ben:

Come on, Mom.

I was supposed to

hang out with Gage

- before the sleepover tonight.

- Honey, Gage can wait a half an hour.

And Katie and I were

supposed to go to the movies.

Kids, I just need to get

a few supplies for the party.

I don't get what's so

important about this.

It's just an obedience school.

Okay. Well, you know

what's so important about it?

It's my only client.

Okay.

- Hot pink or sky blue?

- None of the above?

Mom, if you're going

to throw a Hawaiian party,

then you can't get

the cheap plastic leis.

Everyone gets those.

Come on. They keep

the good stuff over here.

What? Oh, since when

has she been here?

Here. These are silk.

They're stronger, more durable,

and don't look

like a Kindergarten luau.

Sweetheart, you are

very good at this.

Do you think I could

convince you to stay on

and plan a party for Mommy?

Well, well, if it isn't

my best friend, Belinda.

Planning for the

big shindig over

- at the obedience school, are we?

- Yes.

Well, at least there's one client

left in town who has good taste.

Hmm. Well, since

I've managed

to snap up pretty much

every other gig in town,

I suppose I can let

you have this one.

Let me warn you.

You mess with the bull

and you will get

the Bannister horns.

Go, Mom.

All right. Come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

Just let me do

the talking, okay?

How come you always

do the talking?

Because I'm the only one

with brains.

- Can I help you?

- I love you.

I mean, what I mean to say is

I love you.

What, my colleague,

Don Juan is trying to say

is we're looking for the survey

for Lot 23, Block 1133.

Well, you've come

to the right place.

I just need a driver's license.

Stewey McMahon.

I'm Marsha.

That's a beautiful name.

We're in kind of a hurry.

Do you live around there?

Actually, I'm looking

for a place since I got out.

Got out?

I was in jail

for a little while.

- What?

- Nothing major.

Credit card fraud, extortion,

hijacking, breaking and entering,

impersonating a circus clown.

Do you believe

in love at first sight?

I have astigmatism.

- Can you bake?

- I'll put you in a sugar coma.
