For right now,

Hey, Lizard Guy.

Show biz, Eddie.
It's show biz.

Everybody off the stage, now.
BILLY: Where are

or Quicksilver.
Or something.
We'll figure it out.
We'll find a good name

Hopefully one Katie likes.

What the... What?
Who is this?
Hi, Dad. This is Beethoven.
We were making spaghetti.
Oh!
Dad, l know you're mad.
Mad? Yeah, Bill.
Actually, l am mad.
You bring a stray dog
into the house,
a huge one, actually.
You destroy the kitchen.
You bring animals
in all the time.
That's different.
l don't see how.
Because it's my iob.
lt was my iob.
lt's different, okay?
Beethoven and l were
just making dinner.
lt's not like anyone
would make it for us.
Now, what's that
supposed to mean?
Come on.
You know l have to work.
Hey.
l know.
lt's just that
everything would be
so much easier
if Mom were here.
l miss her, too.
l think about her every day.
But, Billy, she's gone.
She's in our hearts now.
l...
l know. l iust meant that...
Look,
how about we put
the dog in the animal
room tonight, okay?
And tomorrow
we'll look for the owner.
And if we find him,
great, and if we can't,
l'll take him to
an animal rescue.
What?
No!
Hey, you know the rules, pal.
No dogs in the house.
But if no one adopts him,
they'll put him down.
Someone will adopt him.
You're a ierk!
Bill.
Are you taking
a snack for later?
Okay, there's your bed.
Good night.
What? You're gonna
Ieave him with all
these creepy animals?
Creepy animals?
They're all
very professional.
They're gonna
be fast friends.
Let's go.
No, no, no.
You stay right there.
This is your bed.
You're hanging out
with these guys
for the night, okay?
Night, Beethoven.

WOMAN: Hey,
keep that dog quiet!
TICK: Frizzy, my poor
stressed-out
little movie star.
You got your appetite back.
(LAUGHING)
Yeah. Yeah.
What are you laughing at?
She's eating a sandwich,
like a person.
ls that my sandwich?
Bad dog. Bad dog.
(DOOR OPENING)
TICK: It's him.
ldiots.
Hey, boss.
l didn't see you there.
How's it going?
Hey, boss.
Do you have the ransom?
No, l don't have the ransom.
Would anyone like to ask me
why l don't have the ransom?
Why don't you
have the ransom?
Because they didn't pay it!
(ANIMALS CHATTERING)
l mean, why would they pay it
when they have
not shot one frame
of film with Frizzy,
the bichon frisй?
(BARKING)
Clearly, you have to
wait for the dog to be
important to the movie,
preferably a star,
before you kidnap the dog
and hold it for ransom.
Otherwise, it's iust a dog.
Right.
Wait a minute.
This was your plan.
Didn't you set the schedule?
That's a lie.
It was his idea.
What?
Anyway, l do have a plan,
one that will work.
Okay.
We wait.
We wait 10 days,
10 shooting days,
and then we dognap
the new dog.
Then they
