Wiener Dog Internationals Page #6

because it's not just me. I know. But still... Skip! What's going on? Hey, you two! [both groaning] Yeah, okay.

I'm sorry. That was...

that's really weird. Aw, you miss us! Are we being kicked

out of the race? Wait, does Dad know

that we're here? Yeah, he doesn't just know,

he actually, uh... He flew out here to meet me, and he's trying

to take you two back. Wait, wait, wait!

Your father didn't know

that you came here? Oh. Excuse me. I really must

start warming Princess up. Two Shellys. One has got

to be real, and one fake. But why? One thing we learn in improv

is to never question why. Just go with the flow. Occasionally you

give good advice.

Hand me a tissue. [whining] Guess we know

which one is real. We'll have to switch

their collars. [whines] [growls] I don't want to do this. Relax. It's just for the night. I don't know.

It doesn't feel

right anymore. When you hired me to

pretend to be your sister,

I thought it was more... More what? More sisterly. I thought you were lonely

or just wanted someone to walk

around with you on campus. [laughs] Do I look

lonely to you? I own the fastest wiener dog

in all of Japan,

and soon, the world. [barking] Everyone will wanna

be my friend. That's not real friendship. Real friendship doesn't

cost you anything. Everything costs

you something. Lunches, visits,

every friendship has a cost. Now go put her somewhere

quiet for the night. -[whines]

-Okay... [sighs] But if I get any indication

that you might hurt her-- What do I look like

to you? A monster? Why are you so

afraid of this dog? I'm not afraid.

It's just... She's got the drive,

the determination to win. -[knocking on door]

-Keep her out of sight. Hi, I'm looking for

Bridget and Danny. Shelly? Come here, girl! Shelly! She never listens to me. Hi, how are you? [barking] Come on. Good girl. [whimpering] -Is that another dog?

-Um... That's Yoshi. Our dog. [whines] Hi, Yoshi. Whoa! Well you've put on

a few pounds, haven't you? [growling] [door opens] Dad! I thought we were

meeting you at the car. I'm really angry at you. And I'm glad you're okay. But being glad

that you're okay and okay with what you did

are two different things. We're really sorry, Dad. It's just... this race

means a lot to us. Can we just stay

until tomorrow? I mean, we're...

we're already here. After what you did? No way. But-- No buts. No what ifs,

no pleases. I've got Shelly.

Meet me downstairs. But, Dad,

what if... Please. I'm sorry to see you go. I was really looking forward

to watching Shelly race. I'm sure she would have

surprised everyone. [chuckles] [Danny] Come on, Bridget. [sighs] [door shuts] So... where's the other dog? She's safe with us.

I'll adopt her. You got the real Shelly back

and that's all that matters. Okay. Ah, well, thank you. -Skip!

-Yeah. I'm really sorry

how it worked out. I know that that

meant a lot to them. Well, it's kinda my fault.

I messed up. So... yeah. I was actually

hoping, maybe... Yes? Never mind. I'm gonna be

leaving town anyways so doesn't really matter. But um... Where you going

to ask me out? I don't know.

I think so. Sweet. But he's gone now,

so do what I hired you for. Maybe we should

just give her back. I mean, they're not even

going to race her now. Are you mad?

This is high stakes. This is Internationals.

I'm not taking any chances. Now go put Shelly in

a nice, quiet place

until after the race. Then she'll either go

back to the family

or to the highest bidder. You said you weren't

going to hurt her. And I won't. Don't worry, the Jack family

still left with a dog. I doubt they'll know

the difference

without racing her. [Shelly whines] [whines] I can't believe you're

pulling us from the race. You created

the position you're in.

I told you to stay home. And miss the biggest

opportunity in me

and Shelly's career? Career?

Are you kidding me?

You're nine. I'm ten, Dad. We're really sorry that you had

to fly all the way out here, but we weren't in big trouble.

You could have

just let us stay. We would've been home

before you, and it would have

been fine and-- I'm not discussing

this anymore. [sighs] Get to bed! We're leaving in the morning. [whines] [sighs] I should probably

mention something. -[Danny] What?

-[Skip] Never mind. Yeah, Dad's right.

We should probably go to bed. -Uh, guys...

-[whining] Ooh, yeah. Her birthmark's leaking. Yeah... I think I know

what's causing that. You're not gonna

like it though. Dad? This is just for

a little bit, okay? I suppose we can't be

friends after all I'm

putting you through. [whines] [chuckles] Oh, wow.

[laughs] Maybe we can. I'm sorry. You shouldn't be

locked up in here. You should be out there racing. I can't believe

you could make

a fake Shelly. Okay, I'm sorry. It was only

supposed to be for a day. Yeah, well, Skip, that's

why it's necessary to start thinking further

ahead than tomorrow. Skip. Really, how could you

leave Shelly behind like that? Etsuko said she was

the right dog. You relied on

the enemy for

information? Okay. Etsuko is

not the enemy. Really? She lied to you

and stole our dog. You know, Skip,

that's what most people

would call an enemy. Listen, that's enough, alright? We're gonna get Shelly,

and then we're gonna go. We're not racing.

We got a plane to catch

in three hours. Let's go. -Listen to me...

-Okay. If she has a scratch,

you get a scar. Oh. Have you thought of

a name for this little guy,

besides "Fake Shelly" yet? Honestly, I haven't

thought that far ahead. That's okay. I'll think

about it for you. How we gonna find Shelly

with all these people

and dogs around? That's easy. Follow the only

person who knows where she is. Where do you think

she's going? Let's find out. What is this? [yawns] She was cold. [Ayameko] She's our prisoner. You're not supposed to

cuddle with the prisoners. Well, I was cold, too. [sighs] Look. Ayameko, I don't feel good

about this whole thing. She should race. You think I went through

all this just to have

a change of heart? That's not how

the world works, Etsuko. Fine, well, I'll just

tell them myself. Oh, I'd be scared if they

weren't already halfway

across the country by now. Remember our deal? You go along with this

and my sponsor keeps

paying for your college. You stop and... bye, bye. Well, maybe that's

not such a bad thing. You know wiener dog racing

is everything to me. There's only a few people

on this planet who understand

how badly I want this. Ms. Merryweather,

for example, and... I can't think of anyone else. You're crazy. There's a fine line

between crazy and genius. I like to think of that line

as the starting point

to wiener dog racing. Let's go. Now let's get her

back in her cage. We'll need to bring her

to the races so she can

watch someone else win. [barking] Come on. [Danny] Why did

you take Shelly? -It's not what it looks like.

-What is it then? My real name is Cynthia. I'm not even Japanese.
