Wrong Page #4

It will be worth your while.

You were walking down the street

wearing the clothes you have on your back.

You seem worried.

Kind of like you are right now,

but even more worried.

And you had blood on your face.

I'm not sure why.

Anyway, you were ambling along

and all of a sudden,

your dog Paul passed you by in a bus.

- In a bus?

- Yes, he was seated in a bus.

Like a regular commuter.

Paul saw you walking down the street.

When the bus stopped, Paul got off

and he ran as fast as he could

to be reunited with you.

It was very beautiful and very moving.

Odd, isn't it?

I just had to tell you.

Yeah, it's odd.

So, what was the second thing

you wanted to tell me?

The second thing is that

I have a small favor to ask of you.

One of my clients didn't cope very well

with the disappearance of her dog

and she hastily bought a better one

to fill the void.

Unfortunately, she instantly formed a bond

with the new dog.

And now she won't hear of the old one

which she no longer loves.

And now I have an extra dog on my hands.

In seven years of service,

this has never happened.

I'm really embarrassed.

What do you want me to do about it?

Well, I was thinking,

you could keep the orphan dog at your place

until I find a foster family.

- I don't think that's a good idea.

- I sincerely think it is.

Beyond the favor you would be doing for me,

it would be beneficial to you

while you wait for Paul's return.

And Paul comes back in a bus, is that it?

No, when the top-level detective I've hired

finds him.

Yeah, well, if I may say so, Master Chang,

I don't think that detective

is all that competent.

Rene, bring Joshua in.

Seriously, I'm not interested.

Forget about it.

- You should really think about it.

- No need.

Paul's the only one I've ever loved.

Other dogs bore me, so don't insist.

I bet you'll change your mind

once you see Joshua.

I don't think so.

No way.

I'd say "yes" if I were you.

You have no idea the consequences

of what your refusal might be.

Yeah, aren't you the one who says,

"We always have a choice"?

Yes, you always have a choice.

Then it's no.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Is this Dolph's house?

Yes. Why?

Um, just I need to see him.

Do you know when he'll be getting home?

- I'm him.

- What?

I'm Dolph Springer. What do you want?

Really?

You just...

You look so different from last time.

Last time?

Your face has changed so much.

I hardly recognize you.

Dolph, is that you?

Yeah, I am Dolph.

Um, do we know each other?

Honey, it's me.

I... I left my husband. I'm yours now.

I belong to you.

What are you talking about?

You... You can't belong

to somebody who doesn't even know you.

It doesn't make sense.

No, I know that one night is a short time

to spend together

and this might feel rushed,

but I just feel something really strong

between us, Dolph.

God. There you are.

I recognize your eyes.

That look. At once mischievous

and completely lost.

Trust me, we're gonna be so happy together.

I just... I love you so much already.

My God.

Babe? Honey?

Dolph! Look.

Have you ever seen one of these?

It's a trick yo-yo. Look, it doesn't go.

Okay.

My God.

You're gonna love this.

You are gonna love it.

My dad gave it to me for my 19th birthday.

It is so cute.

And it gives off the most beautiful glow.

I'm gonna read.

Don't you give off a beautiful glow?

You do. Yes.

Come on, let's go find a place for you.

Honey?

Honey?

Honey?

Honey, can I use this empty closet

for my gowns?

It'd be perfect. What do you think?

Honey, answer me!

Are you cool, me taking this closet?

It'd be really convenient.

Honey? Honey?

- Honey? Answer me!

- F***!

I don't give a sh*t, okay?

Just take all the closets.

I am on phase seven, okay? This is crucial.

Just leave me the f*** alone.

Okay, honey, I'm sorry.

You know, anyway I think I changed my mind.

And I'm gonna use this closet for my shoes

and I'll use the other one for my clothes.

It will be easier that way.

Great. Great.

DOLPH Paul.

Paul, can you hear me?

Paul!

Come on.

Come here, boy.

Don't be scared.

Paul.

I'm so glad to hear you.

You're here.

There, there, okay. Good doggy.

I missed you so much.

You wanna come home soon?

- Dolph?

- Is that it?

Is that what you're trying to tell me?

Yeah, that's what...

- What are you doing, Dolph?

- You're gonna come back.

- Paul?

- Open your eyes.

- I have something to say.

- Paul, where are you going? Paul!

- Look at me.

- Why are you leaving? Paul!

Dolph, look at me.

I'm pregnant.

I'm pregnant with your child.

You're f***ing what?

Yeah, you did...

Master Chang's technique worked.

I completed phase seven.

I heard him bark. I heard him.

He... He came to see me. He came to see me.

I... I could almost smell him.

Paul came to see me.

I can't f***ing believe it worked.

Who's Paul?

- Hi, boss.

- Victor.

- What are you doing here?

- Well...

You didn't seem very happy

with the size of the palm tree,

so I felt bad about it,

like I failed in doing my job or so.

Then I racked my brains

and I think I found the solution

to make it look taller.

Wonderful. How... How are you gonna do it?

Well, it's quite simple.

What I'm going to do is,

uproot the palm tree,

create a 3-foot high molehill,

and then replant it on top of it.

That way it will look taller.

That's not a bad idea.

- I'm looking forward to seeing it.

- Thank you.

I'm gonna go to work for a couple of hours.

Good. It will be finished

when you come back from work.

Okay. Great.

Um, there's hot coffee in the brewer,

if you'd like.

Thank you.

You're very kind, boss. Thank you.

DOlph?

Honey?

Honey?

Have you been up long?

Hey.

You've changed again, my love.

Really? I changed?

Yes.

I think I like you better this way.

Dolph Springer.

Yes.

Sure. I'm on my way.

Come in.

You wanted to see me, boss?

Yes. Shut the door, we need to talk.

Grab a towel.

Put water everywhere.

Sorry.

All right, yeah. Cover my chair.

What's going on?

Dolph, I've received several complaints

from your colleagues.

It appears as though,

although you've been

let go three months ago,

you have continued to come in to work

and have been pretending to work.

Is that true?

I'm not hurting anyone

and I'm... I'm keeping to myself.

You haven't answered my question.

Yes.

But I'm only here a couple hours a day

and my desk is vacant most of the time,

so I don't see what's the problem in that.

I'm very discreet.

And I... I like to pretend to work.

So, is that a crime?

It's debatable.

I don't have a problem with it necessarily,

but it seems to perturb your coworkers.

Each time they complain,

they're losing focus and efficiency.

If it were up to me, you can move in here.

But my main concern right now

is my business' welfare.

I do hope you understand.

You can't fire me

'cause I've already been fired.

This is a little bit different, yes.

I'm ordering you to never

set foot here again.

Okay.

I don't ever wanna see you
