Wrong Page #2
We have a problem.
What is it?
It's kind of hard to explain.
I don't know how it happened or why,
but the palm tree is no longer a palm tree.
- No.
- What are you talking about?
What...
Unbelievable.
That's why I wanted to show you.
HOW...
Twenty years of gardening,
I've never seen this in my whole life.
I can't get over it.
It's a pine tree now.
I know. It's crazy.
Well, how is that even possible?
I don't know, boss.
Maybe it's a disease
or some kinda mutation.
I gotta look up on the Internet.
Well, I... I don't want a pine tree here.
I don't like this at all.
The palm tree was much more fitting.
Excuse me. Is there a Dolph here?
Yeah, that's me.
I have a pizza here for you.
No, I didn't order a pizza.
I... I called, but I didn't order.
So, that's... that's a mistake.
Nope. It's on the house.
What do you mean "on the house"?
Who sent it?
I don't know, sir.
I was asked to bring it to you.
Just doing my job.
Yeah, okay, here.
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
You're sure
getting a lot of stuff today, boss.
I didn't ask for any of this.
Okay.
Look, does that logo make any sense to you?
Yes.
They're fast, I would say.
So, what do we do now?
I don't know, boss.
Do you want me to take the pine out
and replace it with another palm tree?
Could you do that?
Would that be too complicated?
No. It would cost a little, but it's doable.
How much?
I don't know, 500.
Yeah, okay. Yeah, do it.
- Do it.
- You're sure?
Yeah, I can't leave this pine tree here.
This doesn't make any sense.
Dolph?
Who is this?
It's a good thing you called.
Is this a joke? Who... Who is this?
You've lost your dog, haven't you?
Mike, is that you? Is this...
Are you f***ing with me? You are lame.
Answer me.
Yeah, you can drop the mysterious voice now.
I'm not buying it at all, it's ridiculous.
Don't you have anything better to do?
Dolph, listen to me carefully.
This isn't Mike and it isn't a joke.
I'm deadly serious.
You've lost your dog, haven't you?
Yeah, I can't find my dog. What do you care?
We must meet.
I don't understand.
That's all I can say on the phone.
We must meet soon.
It's about Paul.
Meet me tomorrow at 11:00 a. m. on the dot.
Latitude 34.11, longitude negative 117.
I'll explain everything.
Perfect.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Is this Dolph?
Um, yes.
Yes, it is Dolph. It's me Dolph.
I don't recognize your voice.
It's maybe because
I smoke a lot of cigarettes today.
That's Why.
Okay. I smoke too, all the time.
It's so pleasant.
It's true, I... I agree.
So, how have you been since this morning?
I've been well. Thank you.
So you sent me the pizza?
Yeah, that was me.
Okay, that was you.
That... That was very nice.
Thank you very much.
Well, did you get my note?
Yes, I'm looking at it right now.
And?
"And"?
Are you interested in my proposition?
Yes, I'm interested.
I am very, very interested.
Very much.
Good.
Paul!
Paul!
Come and get it!
Come here, boy!
Paul!
- Hello.
- Hi.
Master Chang has sent me to warn you.
He'll be running a little late.
- Master Chang?
- Yes.
I didn't know.
I mean... I mean,
I know I'm meeting someone,
but I didn't know he had a funny name.
He also said I should give you this.
To make the wait more agreeable.
Okay.
So, when is he coming?
You know, 'cause I have a busy life.
I had to take off work.
We know you're not working, Dolph.
You were fired three months ago.
You have all the time in the world.
Yeah. But, no,
cause I still go to the office.
I highly recommend you read this book.
It's life changing.
Yeah, I'll see. Can't promise anything.
What are you doing?
Hi.
Listen, last night
was the best night of my life.
I loved everything.
Good. I have to go to work.
Really, thank you very much.
I'm gonna leave my husband today.
'Cause I wanna live with you now.
So I'm gonna dump that a**hole.
I wanna start over with you, Dolph.
You know, build something strong.
Okay.
Thank you very much for the pizza.
Okay, you're welcome.
Take care.
Sir, I took it upon myself
But it's not necessary.
I like it red, thank you.
Very well. Maybe next time.
Maybe next time, thank you.
Blindfold your dog
with an opaque scarf...
close to his snout.
"Then spin him around for a couple
of seconds so as to disorient him.
"Then run away from him as fast as you can
in a serpentine fashion.
"If he succeeds in tracking you,
"you can be sure his sense of smell
is excellent. "
I'm going to get out of the limousine
and walk into the forest,
away from curious eyes.
Wait awhile, then fol/me.
You did good to come, Dolph.
That was the right decision.
I didn't have much of a choice.
You always have a choice.
When I was 16, a friend dared me
to douse my face with acid.
It was stupid. I wanted to impress him.
And I did it without thinking about it,
but I did have a choice.
Look at me now.
- Who are you?
- I'm a man just like you.
But I want to tell you a bit about
what I do for a living.
It might be of interest to you.
I'm the founder of a company that
specializes in abuse prevention for pets.
I love pets more than anything in this world
and I can't stand the thought
of them being hurt.
Most people buy pets
without considering the implications.
They love them at first and care for them,
but then lose interest day by day
and start neglecting them.
They stop loving them.
Causing the pets tremendous emotional pain
and they're unable to express it.
That's how the dynamics of abuse set in.
- I don't know why you're...
- Let me finish.
Rather than taking action
after the harm is done,
and it's basically too late,
I favor prevention.
I only realized I loved my face
after it had been burned with acid,
but it was too late.
Before, it was just my face,
I didn't know I loved it.
I only started loving it again
when it had partially disappeared.
- Do you follow?
- Not really.
Man gets accustomed,
inured to things rapidly.
He gets used to everything.
When you get a new jacket,
you are happy to wear it.
But that joy wears off, you get accustomed,
and after a few days that jacket
doesn't bring you any joy at all.
On the other hand,
if that jacket is stolen from you,
desire ignites again inside of you.
All of a sudden, you'll miss that jacket
and you'll love that jacket again.
Same goes for shoes or love.
It's a simple concept.
so the owner can have a chance to realize
how much their pets mean to them.
After a few days, we return the pets
and the owner's attitude, vis-a-vis the pet,
is completely reversed.
He loves them like he did on the first day.
Sometimes even more.
- You kidnapped Paul?
- Correct.
Why?
I just told you why.
No. Why me?
Completely random choice.
That's awful.
Who do you think you are?
Can I have my dog back now, please,
