The Dog Who Saved Summer Page #4

Synopsis: School's out for summer... but not at the Bannister house! When their beloved dog Zeus (voiced by Mario Lopez) destroys a party planned by Belinda (Elisa Donovan), Grandma (Mindy Sterling) suggests they send him to obedience school. Things start off on the wrong paw when Zeus's owner George (Gary Valentine) runs afoul of the school's no-nonsense instructor Vernon (Martin Kove) and Zeus manages to fail every lesson. To make matters worse, Vernon's K-9 assistant, Apollo (voiced by William Zabka) makes class no dog-gone fun. With Zeus failing to improve, the Bannister children Kara and Ben (Francesca Capaldi and Cole Jensen) fear that the pound may be Zeus's next stop. Desperate to turn things around, Zeus enlists the help of a janitor, Mr. Lee (James Hong), who shares his unique training methods. Will Zeus' newfound skills help him win top dog at the school's showcase and foil a trio of bumbling thieves (Dean Cain, Patrick Muldoon, Joey "Coco" Diaz) determined to make this a bummer summe

- Right, the survey.

Um, it's normally $5

but this one's on me.

Thank you.

You're beautiful.

Oh, and, um...

- It's pig's head.

- My favorite.

- Au revoir.

- We'll be seeing you.

- Come on, Zeus. It's easy.

- I don't know, George.

Looks a little dark in there

and, you know,

I'm a little claustrophobic.

You're a disgrace

to the uniform.

Come on, buddy.

Follow me.

Don't get stuck

in there, George.

( Blows whistle )

Vernon:
You're unfocused,

Bannister.

You need concentration,

discipline.

Oh, man.

Whoo. It's hot in there.

I felt like I was in a lower intestine.

I'm sorry, were you saying something?

I couldn't hear you.

Yeah, focus,

concentration is the key

to proper command training.

You can all thank Bannister

and his so-called K-9 police dog

for allowing me

to give you this assignment.

I need 10 laps

around the perimeter right now.

- Really?

- Let's go. Come on.

Hut, hut. Let's go,

Apollo, hut.

Show them where to go.

Let's go.

It's not me. It's Zeus.

Zeus nothing.

If your wife was not giving us

a good rate for the party,

you would not be in my class.

Move out.

Come on, everybody.

Keep those legs up. Come on.

Keep those legs up.

Get those dogs

in heel position. Come on.

Zeus:
Come on, Georgie.

You can do it.

Mush. Mush.

I don't know, Zeus.

I haven't run like this

since that sale at Black Friday.

Ah!

Just pretend Vernon is

a brand new 70-inch TV, half off.

We gotta catch him.

Come on. You're keeping

us all late. Come on.

- Yeah, I don't know.

- Gotta pick up the rear. Come on.

- Okay. Okay.

- Come on.

Zeus:

You can do it.

Fred:
All right.

According to this,

all we gotta do is

get in the work tunnel

behind the obedience school.

Just let me do the talking.

- Fred.

- I'm stuck.

So am I.

Just back up.

I'm trying.

- After you.

- After you.

- After you.

- No, after you.

That's it.

Hold on, hold on.

( Farts )

- Really, Stewey? Come on.

- I fart when I get nervous.

Well, there's nothing

to be nervous about.

Sure, there is.

I hate dogs.

Big dogs, little dogs,

skinny dogs, fat dogs.

Why does it gotta be

an obedience school?

Because it's the only way

into the vault.

Can I help you?

Yeah. We're here

to inspect the pipes.

The pipes?

Well, a few stores in the area

reported smelling... gas.

( Farts )

Now that you mention it,

hmm, yeah.

That is pretty bad.

Well, that's why we have to

check the pipes downstairs,

make sure everything

is copacetic.

What do you need a sledgehammer for

to check the pipes?

Rats.

Big ones.

Go ahead. Just please

take care of that smell.

We intend to.

- After you.

- After you.

Stewey:
What are you going to do

with the $3 million?

Stewey, I don't know.

Okay, everybody.

Get up. Keep the canines

at a tight heel.

Make sure you keep

them at attention.

That's everybody.

We're the last two.

Hope you learned

your lesson, Bannister.

All right, everybody take five

and make sure you hydrate.

I'm gonna sit here

and just pass out for a minute.

Zeus, give me some water.

Oh, poor Georgie.

Vernon's really picking on him.

Face it. You two aren't

just Sit N' Stay material.

Maybe you're right.

Oh, and if you're looking

of what's left of that collar,

I'd check the basement

if you want it.

Maybe I can get it back

while Georgie takes a nap.

You rest.

I'll be right back.

Sucker.

Stewey:
You know

where we're going?

I know exactly

where we're going, Stewey.

- I can read a map.

- I'm a little scared.

No, it's this way.

Last time you told me

you knew where you're going,

you didn't know nothing.

Well, that's odd.

I don't see my collar down here.

There he is.

Uh-oh, I smell an ambush.

( Barking )

Buster, Relish, get him!

Relish:
Where do you think

you're going?

Buster:

You can't hide from us.

- Wait, shh, you hear that?

- ( distant barking )

- Quiet, I'm thinking.

- Fred, I hear dogs.

Stewey, I just said,

"Quiet, I'm thinking."

Just passing through.

- That dog looks familiar.

- They all look the same, Stewey.

- Ah! Fred.

- Don't say it.

- I hate dogs.

- I hate when you say that.

Let's go get the diamond.

I hate dogs.

Help! Georgie, Vernon,

anybody!

Hello?

Apollo:

Over here. I found him.

Relish:

This was way too easy.

Buster:
Hey, hey. hey...

wait for me.

What's the matter, flat foot?

Did someone hurt their head?

Buster:
Look at him.

He's out cold.

( laughs ) Apollo's gonna put you

in a doggie bag.

Some K-9, huh?

Book him, Danna.

Hey, I think I hear

someone coming.

Relish:
Look,

it's that custodian guy.

- ( Barking )

- Get out of here.

( Speaking in foreign language)

Apollo:
Let's go.

It ain't worth it.

This ain't over, Zeus.

Uh, where am I?

Who are you?

Not one for conversation, huh?

My collar!

Man:
Yes.

( laughing )

Thank you.

Oh, it looks great.

The big one.

Mr. Vernon's dog,

he picks on you, doesn't he?

Maybe a little,

but I can take care of him.

You're just too proud

to ask for help.

I know you mean well

and I could probably use some help.

It's just that, no offense,

mister, but you're...

- You know.

- I know what you're thinking.

"Mr. Lee is an old man.

What is he going to do

to help me," right?

I feel like I let Georgie down

after everything he's done for me,

and I can't even roll over?

What kind of dog am I,

Mr. Lee?

I can't face him.

Not now.

What should I do?

Well, help Mr. Lee

plug in the radio.

That really wasn't what

I had in mind.

Need music. Pull the cord.

Okay, but if we're going

to listen to music,

you should know,

I'm partial to Three Dog Night.

That's a boy.

We'll just go through these boxes

here and here

and this way and that way.

Yeah. That'll do it.

Here goes nothing.

- ( Radio playing )

- That's it! Oh, baby!

Good music.

Well, now I tell you

what I'm going to do, huh?

I'll teach you

how to stand up to Apollo

if, in exchange, you be my assistant.

What do you think?

Do you offer health benefits?

Do we have a deal or not?

- Put her there.

- Okay.

You come back

tonight at 10:
00

and I'll teach you lessons,

all right?

You bet, Mr. Lee.

I won't let you down.

Good dog.

Bye. 10:
00.

This is gonna be great.

I can't wait until tonight.

So, Mom, when you said

if you mess with the bull,

you get the Bannister horns,

what exactly did you mean?

- Well...

- You said that? I had no idea

- you were so tough, Mrs. B.

- Well, I'm pretty tough.

Well, it's just

an expression, honey.

It means that if you antagonize

the bull, then, well, you know.

Whoa. Who are you

and what did you do to Belinda?

So you're the bull?

- Yes.

- So if someone were to ruin your party,

you would have to get even?

- Exactly.

- Wait a minute.

What exactly are

we talking about here?

- Oh, honey?

- Yeah?

Um, were we going

to try the grilling again?

Yeah. I thought we'd have

some delicious BBB & B.

- The Bannister bacon...

- Buffalo burgers, yeah.

Ooh, I'll take two.

You know, honey, the last time
