Wiener Dog Internationals

[boy] Yes! Wake up, girl.

We're going to the races! [dog barking] [announcer]

Ladies and Gentlemen! The race you have all

been waiting for! [man] Alright, kiddo. What is

it you want for your birthday? -[boy] I was thinking' a dog.

-[man] Dog? [boy] I wanna enter

my dog in the race. [woman] How much would

you take for that dog? [boy] She's not for sale. She made it in three... [man] Indiana? We can't afford

to go to a dog race in Indiana! [boy] I think Shelly hurt

her leg. Please help her. [woman] Fast little friend

is a bit of a pushover. [man] I don't trust this

Ms. Merryweather woman. [woman] I don't race for the

money, I race for the dignity. [man] And you got his name

because he had a birthmark. [boy] Just like

the one Shelly has! [man] May the best wiener win

and the rest roast! [dogs barking] [barks] Hey, Shelly.

What do you think? [whimpers] [barks] Really wish I knew

what you were thinking. Good morning! Ready for the big day? As ready as I'll ever be. Hey, I'm really sorry that

we had to cancel going to

the Internationals, bud. I know how much

that meant to you. I know how much

this means to you. Yeah, well, we're

starting a family. Sort of a race

in itself, right? That's a race? [chuckles] Well,

more like a marathon. You know, I'm sad about

missing the Internationals, but I'm happy

that you're happy. Well, I'll be happy

if she says yes. She will. Alright, well, go get your

brother and sister up. I gotta get going. Alright, you kids be

good while I'm gone. -[Danny] We will.

-No fighting. -[barks]

-[Bridget] We'll play nice. -[Phil] And get to bed on time.

-[Skip] I'll get them to bed. Yeah, that goes

for you, too. [Skip] Mm-hmm. You guys sure you're

okay with this? Bringing Melanie

officially into

the family? She became a part of

this family the second

she stood up for Shelly. Alright, cool.

Alright, well, as soon

as she gets moved in and this feels real,

then I'm sure

everything will be fine. No, it'll be better than fine.

It'll be awesome! [chuckles] Am I over doing it? Yes. Go. Before she

changes her mind. Alright. This will be simple.

Go to Paris, propose, she says yes, we come back here

and she lives with us. Forever. -Nervous?

-No. [whimpers] Yes. It's okay, Dad.

You've got us to

get you through it. -Alright, well,

I love you guys.

-Love you, too. Aunt Jenny is gonna

be here tomorrow and she's gonna cook

for you guys for

a couple of days and take care

of you, alright?

Be good for her. Relax. We've got it. [chuckles]

Alright. -I mean it, please.

-[Danny] We will. [all] Bye! -[Bridget] Good luck!

-[Phil] See ya! Well, Dad has officially

left us alone to fend

for ourselves. I know. Isn't it great? [Skip] Hey, love will make

you do crazy things. I still can't believe he's

going to propose the same

week as the Internationals. It's the only week he could

take off. You know that. Well, um... since

I'm in charge now, there's gonna be no

more talking about

wiener dog races, okay? That's like, all

I have to talk about. Alright, well...

go clean your room! What? Relax, I'm just kidding.

Go clean my room. Ha ha. Here, girl, have

some Canine Caviar. [door bell rings] You're so lucky,

your food's already made. I know it's good, but it'll still be there

when you get back. Danny Jack? Um, yes. Is it true Shelly will not

be racing in this year's

Internationals? [sniffing] Come on kid, just

give me a sound bite. [sighs]

[Shelly growls] It's true. It's not what I wanted. It's not what we wanted. But it's bigger than just us. This has to do with

our whole family. I can't say what

our Dad's doing right now because it's a surprise. But we're happy for him. We're also really sad to be-- Quitting. Is something

wrong with Shelly? Has Shelly not

been working out? Tell me, really.

Is something wrong

with the dog? Hey, what do you

think you're doing? Are you Skip? You can't just walk on our

property and roll cameras. Get outta here! Come on. But I wanna be a movie star! Goodbye. Will Shelly be

racing next year? [sighs] [Danny] Who's on our lawn? It's just the neighbor girl. She is so weird. Here you go.

Here you go. Wow. You cooked this? I thought you didn't

know how to cook. Relax. Dad made it

before he left. -Oh.

-I thought so. Your cooking usually

comes out of a box. And includes the directions

"just add water". You better eat up too, girl. Can we take Shelly

on a walk after dinner? Ooh, do you think we'll

see any more reporters?

How's my hair? I don't know, how's mine? Hey! You two can go on a walk

but no more talking about

wiener dog races, okay? -Okay.

-[barking] You're lucky

you can't talk.

Skip is so mean. Okay, the only one that should

be giving me puppy dog eyes,

is Shelly. 'Cause she is a puppy dog. I don't need a guilt trip

from either one of you, okay? Now eat. What if we go to

the Internationals? You know, just

for a little bit. Danny! Just for

a little bit? The races are like

thousands of miles away. Yeah, but-- Never, ever thought

I'd be saying this, but I'm with

Skip on this one. No more talking about

wiener dog races. I mean, at least for today. Unless we see more

reporters, of course. Really, how is my hair? There you are! I've been

looking for you everywhere. -Judge Brown.

-What have you done? -What's going on?

-You have withdrawn

from the race. You're not going to

the Wiener Dog Internationals? We can't go.

Our Dad's on his way

to propose to Melanie. Ugh! Those two

and their blatant

disregard for the rules! Oh, this is bad.

This is very, very bad. Wait, are you upset because

you won't have a U.S. racer? Well, it's not we won't have

a racer, it's who we will

have if you two don't race. Can't Handshake

go in our place? Or one of the other dogs

that placed in the Nationals? Does anyone read

the rules, except me? No! That's not how it works! Just as the Nationals

have a rulebook, right, now, so do the Internationals. But the International rulebook

is much bigger and thicker and longer and harder

and much more cumbersome

for me to understand. Mainly because it's composed

of 37 different languages, and I don't speak

Swahili that well. So, who will go

in our place then? -Mrs. Merryweather.

-She was disqualified! Oh, for the Nationals, yes.

But this is the Wiener Dog

Internationals. -They are two

separate organizations.

-What's the difference? One ends in an "N,"

the other ends in an "I". But isn't a race a race? [sighs] Little Bo Bridget,

you obviously have never been

to the Internationals. It's not just a race. No, it's the motherload

grand dame of all races. I must speak to your father.

Here, have him call me. We need to make sure

that you stay in the race. Now, I leave tomorrow. Perhaps, you could ride

with me if you like. I can't even look at you,

Shelly. I'm just too upset. Okay, well if you insist. One, just one

little itty-bitty,

teeny-weeny little pet. [speaks in baby-talk] That's such a good puppy.

Such a good, good, good girl.
