The Dog Who Saved Summer Page #6

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

Oh!

I was reading it upside down.

Don't worry about it.

We'll get it on the next one.

We better get Ted.

We better get Ted.

Fred:
So how are we going

to break my brother out of jail?

Stewey:
I'll think of something.

- Oh, come on.

- Thank you.

Let me know if you want another.

Stewey, you've got

to be kidding me.

That's your third helping

of pancakes.

I think better when I eat.

- I got it.

- Let's hear it.

We take a van. We drive into

the back of the place, right?

Boom. First you get out

and make sure the coast is clear.

Then I make the move

for the ladder

and I climb

through an open window.

Once I get to the cell block,

I'll make my way to the guard.

Then I'll give

the Vulcan neck pinch.

Hold up. You're going

to jump through the window?

- Yeah.

- What? You're going to make me say it?

Say what, Fred?

You can't jump

through the window

because you're...

you're scared of heights.

You're right.

You know what?

I'll keep my eye on the guards.

You go through the window.

Go, Fred.

Go, go, go, go.

- We've got this, Stewey.

- Come on, hurry up. Go.

Ready to get

out of here, brother?

You're the best, Fred.

- You are strong.

- ( sirens wailing)

Stewey:
Come on, come on.

Let's go. Come on, come on.

Guys, come on. Let's go.

- ( Siren chirps)

- Officer:
Freeze!

You've got to be kidding me.

Might as well tie chains

to the bars

and have it pulled off

with four horses.

This isn't the '30s, Stewey.

There's cameras everywhere.

- So what's your plan?

- I don't have one.

Wait a minute.

You know what?

When I was a kid,

my mom had to break

my Uncle Joey out of prison.

All we had to do is get

the tools to him inside

so that he could get outside.

So you're gonna break

the tools into the place?

No, no, no, no.

Not break.

Bake.

What do we got in the fridge?

Hmm. Got some tuna, some mayo,

a bag of pork rinds,

Dijon mustard, a little salami,

a little bologna,

a little liverwurst,

and a can of fresh sardines.

That's disgusting.

Well, it doesn't matter

because no one's gonna eat it.

Our only problem is

how do we get it inside to Ted?

You know what?

Leave it to me.

Guard:

You got a visitor.

Uh... and you are?

Marsha. I'm a friend

of Stewey's.

Wow, I really must be cooped up

in here too long.

Uh, well, what are you

doing here?

Your friends made you a cake.

A cake?

You know, a cake.

Oh, a cake.

A cake, yes.

Hold it. Hold it.

Why don't you eat some of

that right now, tough guy?

Uh, well, I had a big breakfast.

No. No. I insist.

- No, I'm trying to watch my figure.

- No, no, no, no.

You want it or not?

Yeah. Yeah, all right.

Of course I want it, yeah.

- I mean, it's just a cake, right?

- It's just a cake.

Little creamy cake.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah. It's a cake. Um...

- Guard:
Take a bite.

- Okay.

I'm gonna take a bite.

- Just a cake, right?

- Guard:
Yeah, let's see.

I can't wait.

It's going to be...

( gags )

Oh, gosh. That's good.

- Okay. It's a cake.

- Ted:
It's cake.

- Guard:
It's a cake.

- It's good. You want some?

No.

Oh, it's got a kick.

Kinda fishy.

Ted:
Compliments

to the chef.

- Yes.

- Ted:
Thank you.

( Cough$ )

Oh...

( cackles )

That's my baby.

Hey, I'm Mario Lopez

and tonight on "Extra"

we're going to take

you to Miami.

The wildest summer

hot spots, the...

Who is this guy?

I like his style.

The hottest summer

fashion trends.

We're also going to show

you how to dress like...

George, what are you doing?

Watching TV.

No. I mean,

what is going on here?

Are you giving yourself

a manicure?

Of course not.

If you're referring to my hand,

I think I fractured my pinky.

Okay, George.

I think it's time

that we discuss the fact

that this whole

obedience school thing

just isn't working out.

Zeus hasn't learned a thing

and you are a mess.

Belinda, there's

no discussing it.

I can't quit.

I quit, Vernon wins.

And I'll have you know,

Zeus looks up to me.

I don't have any choice.

You're four feet taller than me.

And man to man,

I will not let him down.

You know, I love you

no matter what, Georgie.

Hey, what are you doing

with my phone?

Shh! I don't think

things are going too good

with the obedience school.

All right. Give it back.

- No.

- It's my helicopter.

No. I need to hear this.

Zeus is in trouble!

What?

Remember when Mom said

if you mess with the bull,

you get the Bannister horns?

Yeah.

Well, she said if someone

were to ruin one of her parties,

she would have to get even.

So?

So if Zeus

doesn't pass this class,

she wants to take him back

to the pound.

You really think so?

Okay.

I'll see what I can do.

- Just give me the controls back.

- No, no!

Ben:

No, no, no, no!

Did you just hear that?

I don't know.

I'm hearing a bunch of stuff.

I think I might have

a slight concussion.

Okay, George.

Why don't you take all the stuff

off and come downstairs

and we'll watch a movie

together as a family?

Well, honey,

I need a little me time.

Okay.

I'm going to go and see

what Mr. Lee is up to.

Good night, Georgie.

( Speaking in foreign language)

( speaking in foreign language)

So what kind

of awesome self-defense

are we going to learn tonight?

Well now, tonight's

lesson is catching a rat.

Rat? What do you mean rat?

Rat trap on the other side, see?

We catch and we free.

What do you want me to do?

You scare the rat,

he hear you bark,

he run across the room

and right into the trap.

I am not going

in there with a rat.

Mamma Mia.

If you cannot handle a rat,

how do you expect

to handle Apollo?

Fine.

Rat:
What do you want,

you beast?

Zeus:
Look, I don't want

to impose

and you look like you're busy,

could you please do me

a favor and act scared?

No, not gonna happen.

Now, scare rat.

Bark like a dog.

( Barking )

- Rat:
My ears!

- Good. Good. Good.

Keep barking.

Scare rat. Scare rat.

Rat:

Uh, later.

Ah!

That's one rat.

Now we've got 25 more to go.

We're gonna have

a great day today, buddy.

All Zeusy and me...

Hey, Zeus. Where are ya?

Come on, buddy.

We're gonna be late. We have

to stop at Grandma's on the way.

What, you out chasing squirrels

all day? Come on.

Zeus:
( yawns)

More like a rat.

- Ready to go?

- What do you mean?

- Coming with you.

- No, you're not.

Why not?

It's just obedience school.

I just wanna scope it out.

No, no, no.

Did you put him up to this?

No. He just said he's

genuinely interested in going.

Okay, fine. If you wanna go,

you can go.

- Thanks, Dad.

- We're gonna go

set up for the showcase, okay?

- Kara's going to help me. Bye.

- Bye, guys.

- I think I left something upstairs.

- Zeus, where are you going?

Come on, buddy.

You can't play hooky.

Go get him, will you?

Don't give me

the eyeballs, okay?

I have a bad hernia.

George:
Ben, you and Zeus

wait in the car.

I'll be five minutes.

Hey, Eve.

How are you, girl?

How do you like staying

with Grandma?

- What's up, guys?

- Oh, hey, Uncle George.
