The Dog Who Saved Summer Page #9

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

where are you?

Mr. Lee.

No, no, no! Stewey,

it's a weighted scale.

You have to take the diamond off

and put something else

on at the exact same time.

- Like this.

- Like a balance.

- Stewey! Come on.

- This is no time for condiments.

- Stewey, put away the fruit.

- Jeez.

Okay, a sandwich.

That's good, that's good.

But it's too big. It's too big.

Take a little off.

Take a bite out.

A bite. Don't eat

the whole thing, Stewey.

That's too much.

You can do this, Stewey.

Come on.

Are you ready?

We're gonna be rich.

We're gonna be rich.

He's gonna do it.

He's gonna do it.

Come on, Stewey.

On the count of three...

One, two, oh!

Yes. Yes, Stewey.

- Yes.

- Way to go, Stewey.

(alarm ringing)

Stewey, get out of there.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Come on, Stewey.

- Come on.

- Ted. Ah!

Check the food court, okay?

Look... oh, check the dumpster

in the back.

We gotta find him now, Belinda.

- ( Phone chimes)

- I would.

I would, but vicious Vernon

won't let me leave.

If I leave,

Zeus fails the class.

And listen, I'm not going through

another week like I just went through.

It was brutal. Okay. What?

Hello?

Hello?

Ugh!

Good job.

Let me see the diamond.

Let me see the diamond.

Let me see it.

- Oh!

- ( whistles )

- Oh, yes.

- Way to go, Stewey.

Look at that.

( dog barks )

Peek-a-boo,

you robbers you.

- No.

- It can't be.

Zeus Bannister.

I'm gonna grab him,

I'm gonna smash him.

- I'm gonna make you pay.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good idea.

- Ted, where are you going?

- Where are you going, Ted?

Your brother just left

with the diamond.

Well, guess that leaves

just the two of you.

Don't just stand there.

Let's go get him.

( Both screaming )

Apollo:

Oh, there you are.

- Let me get this.

- ( muffled )

Thank you.

- Come on, Stewey.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Oof!

- Trip wire.

Nothing a little plastic

surgery can't fix.

You should have told me

about the trip wire.

- I tried.

- I tripped. I tripped.

I tried.

- Well, come on. Let's go.

- Let's go.

Dah-dah, dah-dah!

Wait a second.

He's always got

something waiting for us.

An egg could drop on our heads

or snow will blow on our faces.

Let's get him, but be careful.

Well, what are you,

a man or a mouse?

Let's go.

Zeus:

Up here.

- Fred.

- Watch for traps. I got it, I got it.

Stewey:

Look.

You're right, Stewey.

He put kibble

all over the stairs.

He's probably trying

to make us trip.

I told you, Fred.

Don't underestimate this dog.

Yeah, well,

no more funny business.

Now it's time

for business business.

Let's go.

Okay, Zeus.

What's the plan?

You take Fred.

I got Stewey.

- Get that dog!

- Take that.

' ( Thuds ) ' Oof!

' ( Thuds ) ' Oof!

( Barking )

You wanna run, dog?

Yeah, come here.

Come here.

Wise guy, huh?

- ( Thuds)

- ( groans)

- Right in the family jewels.

- Hope you're wearing a cup.

Stewey:

Ah!

(laughing)

Beautiful.

( Motor whirring )

Shoo.

Shoo. Go away, chopper.

Shoo. Shoo!

( Fred muttering )

- Get off me!

- Ah!

- Get off me!

- Ah!

- Officer:
Freeze.

- Thank God you're here

to save us

from those rabid dogs.

Come on,

hands behind your backs.

I saw the footage

from my vault security system.

This is the man

who took my diamond.

What are you talking about?

We haven't seen this guy before

- in our lives.

- He's the guy who tied me up.

It wasn't me.

It was a girl with green eyes.

I skin you like...

( mumbling )

- Nuh-uh.

- Uh-huh.

I didn't... ow!

He kicked me.

Zeus.

Here you go, buddy.

You rescued Mr. Lee

and you stopped the robbery.

That could have ruined summer.

You know me.

I could never let that happen.

- Apollo.

- Mission accomplished.

( Vernon muttering )

Speaking of which,

where is the diamond?

I got him.

Get away. Shoo!

Leave me alone!

Oh, he's going down.

( chuckles )

Shoo! Shoo!

(panting. grunting)

Get out of here.

Ben:

Okay. Uh, no, no, no.

(grunting )

Oh, I'm sorry.

Were you going somewhere?

(yells)

Ah! Shoo! Shoo!

Oh, oh, oh!

(siren wailing)

Oh, busted!

Yeah.

I found this, uh...

- Officer:
Ted, stop.

- It was just sitting out here.

- What?

- You are under arrest.

I... no, I...

I didn't do anything.

This is that nail file bandit

who just broke out of prison.

Ow. Oh, really? You want

my autograph or something?

No, but my wife

wouldn't mind a manicure.

Ha, that's funny. Ow!

All right.

You write that joke yourself?

- Yeah, I did.

- I know how to do this.

I've done this before.

Ow.

Zeusy, there you are.

What is going on here?

We wanted to make sure

nothing got in Zeusy's way,

so he would win the showcase,

so he wouldn't have to

go back to the pound.

Honey, the pound?

What are you talking about?

You said

if you messed with the bull,

you get the Bannister horns,

and Zeusy ruined

your party and...

Oh, sweetheart, Zeusy

is a part of our family.

I would never send him

back to the pound.

Ever?

Ever.

Oh, come here.

Come on, everybody.

The show must go on.

George:
Yeah,

he's doing really well.

And get this,

he even foiled another heist.

He foiled another heist?

That's amazing.

Yeah. You remember

those guys Ted and Stewey?

The two that robbed your house.

Yes, yes, those guys.

They follow us around

all over the place.

- They must have a GPS on us.

- I never want to see those two again.

I swear, if I ever do...

I hope this time they're going away

for a long, longtime.

Vernon:

Bannister, we're waiting.

Oh, okay.

I gotta go, Annie.

They're calling me, okay?

Good luck

and I'll see you

when you get back.

' Okay-Bye-bye.

- ( phone beeps )

Dog:
Sounds like your brother

came through once again.

Of course he did.

He's a real hero.

Vernon:
Ladies and gentlemen,

sorry about the delay.

Let's try this again.

We're down to two dogs

in our final challenge...

The weave poles.

Apollo and Zeus.

- Apollo.

- No mercy.

Apollo, weave.

Zeus:
Come on,

you can do it.

You know what, Zeus?

I've had my time in the sun.

It's someone else's turn.

Apollo, what are you doing?

Retiring.

Zeus, weave.

Zeus:

Here we go.

George:

Come on.

Zeus, this is it, buddy.

You do this perfectly, we win.

( Mouths words )

Pull the cord.

And weave.

- ( Cheering )

- Yes! Yes!

Well, folks,

it looks like we've got

a new top dog here in our

Fun in the Sun showcase...

Zeus Bannister.

Good dog!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Atta boy, Zeusy.

- Zeus:
You bet.

- Heart and spirit.

I couldn't have done

it without you, Mr. Lee.

I don't know

how you pulled this one off.

I believe in miracles, sir.

(laughing)

Great work, kid.

That was some bravery

you showed today.

I'm proud to call you my friend.

Thanks, Apollo.

I'd like to take a moment

to chat about next year's party.

Personally,

I feel your sensei deserves

something of a higher caliber

as opposed to this tacky,

grade school Hawaiian theme.

Mr. Vernon and I were

thinking the same thing.

Glad to hear it.

And we'll be sure

to discuss that with Belinda.
