Zeus and Roxanne

---

Woof, woof!

Woof, woof, woof!

Nice try, fleabag.

Zeus!

Get outta here!

Blcch,

Dog germs!

Do I smell

some dinner?!

Breakfast.

I knew that.

You've been up

all night again, huh?

Sorry,

it's just that

I've been working

on this Melody

And it's somewhere in there.

I just can't find it.

What's this?

Breakfast burrito.

Cool, thanks.

Let me see

your face.

Excellent, b+.

So, what's in

this burrito?

Eggs, refried beans,

onions, jalapeos,

Peanut butter, mozzarella

cheese, pineapple chunks.

Oh, yeah,

and lettuce.

So it's nutritionally

balanced.

Oh, shoot!

My burrito!

Ugh!

Zeus, psst.

C'mon, c'mon.

Good boy,

eat it up.

Thank you,

thank you.

Oh, good,

you finished yours.

I'll go get you

another one.

Woof!

And you two stay

At the enrichment program

all day, okay?

you-are-understood-mother.

Ditto.

I'm not in the mood for

the principal calling me

Telling me

that you two-

What is that?

Lovely.

Jordan, cow bone!

Woof, woof, woof!

Hey!

Ahh!

Cow bone.

Cow bone,

cow bone!

Zeus, cow bone!

Zeus!

Zeus, cow bone!

Zeus, cow bone!

Cow bone!

C'mon, go on!

Go on!

Pfft...

I'm so sorry.

Let me help.

No, that's okay.

Oh, jeez.

Here, let me help.

Just how do you

propose to do that?

I'll put your flowers

back in the ground here.

Wait, wait, no.

Actually, I have a very

particular way of doing this.

I like to put the roots

in the ground.

Oh...

Very...

You new in

the neighborhood?

Yeah.

Just renting

for the week?

Actually we'll be here

'till the end of July.

Great!

I'm Terry Barnett.

Mary Beth...

Dunhill.

Mary Beth.

Right.

I'd love to stay and chat

in my present state

But I'm late

for work.

That's okay,

I'll just replant

your flowers.

Oh, no, that's alright.

Is there anything

I can do?

Uh, no.

How 'bout

your laundry?

I'm a great

ironer.

If you can just

restrain that...

Zeus.

Yes!

Thank you.

Me, Terry, you?

Judith.

You?

Nora.

You're late.

I've been frantic,

don't ask.

What if Roxannes

not there?

We've never been

late before.

What if she gets

eaten by a shark

Sitting there

waiting for us?

What if I'm sorry, Becky,

I had a rough morning?

Oh, yeah?

Well, it's about

to get rougher.

We've been rejected

by the Pason Foundation,

And the manheim,

And the delphi.

Great!

That leaves

the Rockland Grant.

If I don't get that,

I'll be-

Stocking goldfish

at the local store.

Very funny,

Claude.

I wasn't joking.

Perhaps we should strive

for that grant together.

"the sum of the parts

being greater than the whole."

I don't think so.

Somehow I think our research

philosophies are slightly different.

Oh, I didn't know

I ever had one.

Let me know

if you change your mind.

He should be

working with sharks.

He'd feel

more at home.

If I don't get

major funding soon

Roxanne's gonna

be in a pool

Doing sound recognition tests

for the rest of her life,

Probably for him.

Good morning, guys.

Hey, Phil.

Let's play the sounds of

the other dolphins for Roxanne

And see if

she runs away.

Okay, Roxanne,

I'm comin', sweetheart.

We'll do a body check,

check for rake marks.

We'll see if she's been

playing with other dolphins.

These are from our

last session, right?

Right.

Burritos?

Do you smell

burritos?

Yeah.

You.

You're so cute!

No, this dog

is not cute.

This dog is

the hound from hell.

C'mon, you Zeus,

whatever your name is.

Get up here,

sit down, sit!

Sit, stay.

Stay.

Zeus!

Yo, Zeus!

Zeus!

Zeus!

I think

I got Roxanne.

Great!

I'm cursed.

He's so cute.

He's not cute.

You stay

right there

Or you're gonna get

a free swimming lesson!

He's giving me

a face like that.

Zeus!

We've got her.

Roxanne,

sorry I'm late.

C'mon,

that's a girl.

Good morning

to you too, Roxanne.

How are you?

C'mon.

Very good.

Woof, woof!

Thanks a lot, Zeus!

Maybe if we give him

some food he'll calm down.

Maybe if he becomes food

he'll calm down.

She did not

mean that.

Yes, I did.

we're outta here.

Zeus,

where are you?

C'mon, Zeus!

Zeus!

Zeus?

Zeus?

Lost the dog.

Great.

My new neighbor's

gonna think

I've shanghaied his dog

and fed him to the sharks.

Zeus?!

Zeus?!

C'mon.

Oh, my gosh.

C'mere!

Get the camera.

I got it.

7:
10,

2:
15,

Off location six.

We have a canine Zeus,

we have Roxanne.

Woof, woof, woof!

What are

they doing?

Talking to

each other.

They're

communicating.

They are talkin'.

I think...

We're witnessing

Inter-species

communication.

Mary Beth.

What?

You're gonna get

that Rockland Grant.

Yes!

I love this dog.

I've always

loved this dog

From the minute

I saw that dog.

Linda, what have

you got?

Mother and calf.

Mother and calf.

Yes.

Let's separate these two

for the next 24 hours.

Begin the sonar

recognition test series

And increase the volume

of the masking sounds

Until mother and calf

can no longer communicate.

The baby

needs to feed.

"the baby

needs to feed."

The sacrifice is for

the good for all mankind.

For science.

Yeah, for

Dr. Claude carver.

Swing it around.

You got it?

Hold it steady.

great submersible.

Look at that.

I could really use

something like that.

How'd you get it?

Oh, I pulled

a few strings.

Perhaps you'd like to

take her down sometime.

Oh, yeah, sure!

Solo.

I keep telling you

Two keen scientific minds

are better than one.

Yes, but neither

are any good

Without the

essential ingredient.

What might

that be?

Heart.

Sure.

Hey, hey!

I'll drop kick you

from here to Miami!

no, you will not.

C'mon, Zeus,

let's get outta here.

Phil, get my bag,

will you?

There you go.

You deserve it.

let's go!

Great.

Okay, so let me

get this straight.

You don't want us to have

any fun over the Summer.

I don't want you hanging

out with borderlines.

Craig isn't

borderline, mom.

And ditching your

enrichment classes.

Well, we're just-

We were just-

Rescheduling.

Yes, right.

Grounded.

This block,

one week.

Oh, no, mom.

Zeus!

Zeus.

Where'd you guys

find him?

Actually he found me,

and you are?

I'm Jordan Barnett.

I'm with him.

I see you and Zeus

have become friends.

Well, miracles

sometimes happen.

What's that?

Some photos

I took this morning.

What?

I can't

believe-

Oh, my God!

charming.

Looking good, mom!

Working on

two weeks.

Here.

Your house has a

satellite dish, doesn't it?

Yeah.

Mom?

Okay, but not

all the channels.

C'mon, Zeus!

Your dog was on the boat

with me all day.

Really?

I'm sorry, I won't

let that happen again.

No, actually it sort of

seemed to suit him.

Really.

I'd like to

take him out again if -

Sure, you can take him

on a cruise to Antarctica,

But he's Jordan's dog.

Would you mind

If I just ask

him something?

Go right ahead.

Gimme that!

Can I just watch this

for a minute?

Girls, girls,

time out.

Where's Jordan?

In there.

What are you

watching?

hello.

Oh, hi.

Hi, can I come in?

Yeah, sure.

"braveheart".

Wow!

Did you do

all these?

Yeah.

That one's gonna be the cover
