This is our target.

-He's to be captured, not harmed.

-Which man is it?

We're after the canine.

His name is Khyi Yag Po.

Translation:
''Dog of Ageless Wonder.''

Uh, sir, this picture's 80 years old.

Everybody in it is dead.

Not everyone.

''Misguided youth. Your Honor...''

That sounds so pompous.

What's another word for misguided?

Misguided... It's too on the money.

Dog?!

Hey, Baxter!

Why is it that my yard is that mutt's outhouse?

FYI, calling Attila a mutt...

...is like referring to my Porsche Carrera...

...as a Buick Skylark.

Hey, look, whatever kind of car your dog is...

...I'd appreciate it if he wasn't whizzin' on my shrubs.

You know what your problem is...

...Dave.

You hate dogs.

No, I do not hate dogs. I dislike dogs.

I hate that dog! Now get outta here!

Stop that. You did not hear that...

...did you?

You did not hear that.

Are you okay Baby?

Forrester got himself in the newspaper.

-No more testing!

-And all over the TV.

The trial of Justin Forrester...

...a local schoolteacher accused of arson...

-...in a fire at Grant & Strictland.

-Great.

Just can't burn a building down...

...because you think they're puttin' makeup on bunnies.

You're going to Josh's parent-teacher conference, right?

-Josh!

-What?

Josh's parent-teacher thing? Four o'clock?

You said you'd take care of it.

Honey I...

...I'm starting a trial today.

Ken Hollister's stepping down.

Don't you want me to be the next D.A.?

Dave...

...you never make these things.

All right. I'll take him.

Look, you know what? Let me say, once...

Once I get through all this stuff...

...why don't I take you to Oahu?

You know that way that you always say ''Oahu''...

...and you think it's so cute?

It really just reminds me of how many times you've canceled that trip.

-Hey, Dad.

-Hey, good mornin', Josh.

-How's football goin'?

-Awesome. I'm playin' tailback.

Just like your old man. Well, I can't wait.

When can I come down and watch you play?

Oh, you know, the games don't start for a while.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Mornin'

Hey, take the T-shirt off.

Why? Did you drop the charges?

You know...

...this might be hard for you to understand, sweetie...

...but your social studies teacher...

...the Torch, is a criminal.

What's hard to believe is that my father is defending a puppy-murderer.
