Don't you dare.
Never.
Come back here, you mutt.
Hey, what... Hey, no! No!
Ah-ha!
Don't let him escape.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Get him.
Come back here.
Get him!
The dog, the dog.
Get the dog. My beret.
Careful. Be careful. Careful.
Mark my words, I'll get you
someday. You! I'm gonna get you.
Ah! I have been looking
all over for this guy.
Dad, are you trying to
give me a heart attack?
Billy, what have l told you
about playing with the animals?
Pete here isn't
just any lizard.
He's a professional actor.
And because you were horsing
around, he's late. So I'm late.
Horsing around?
Horsing around.
Hey, guys. I found Pete.
Yay!
Hey, Sticky.
Breakfast.
I didn't forget
about you, Spencer.
Okay, everybody,
have a good day.
Come on, Dad.
You come on. We're late.
I've got to get to the set.
It's fine.
It still crackles.
Water?
Dad, really?
Hey, hey. Go get
it. Go get it.
Come on, Billy boy!
Let's go! Let's go!
Here you go, Pete.
How's my star?
Oh, yeah. Looking
good. Looking good.
Billy, come on!
You know, it's better to be an
hour early than a second late.
Success depends on it.
Maybe if I work
real hard I can be
the head lizard guy
on some dumb movie.
I'm sorry, what was that?
Nothing.
Mmm-hmm.
Okay, buddy, what's
with the attitude?
You have all these freaky
animals all over the place.
And all I want is a dog.
Billy, we've
talked about this.
Lots of people have dogs.
I don't know anyone else
who has a lizard as a pet.
Hey, that lizard
is not my pet.
That lizard is my job.
We don't have room for a dog.
We don't have money for a dog.
At the very least, it'd be a
huge distraction for the training.
Dogs are pets, and
we don't have pets.
No dogs, buddy. I'm sorry.
Whatever, Dad.
Okay. Well, have a good day,
and don't forget to check in with
Mrs. Hollinger when you get home.
I love
You.
''Yep. I love you too, Dad.''
Man.
Hi.
Photo ID. Really?
It's just that I'm so late.
You know, I work
here every day.
Photo ID.
It's me.
Jerk.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Eddie. Eddie, you're late!
Do you think it's
part of my job
to be waiting for my
assistant to show up?
I don't think so.
I'm sorry, Sal.
I had trouble with the lizard.
Don't want the excuses.
I just want the lizard!
Now, did you teach it a trick?
He's got it, all right.
It's a good trick. Good trick.
Better be. Better
be. Let's go.
Almost time for
Frizzy's close-up.
Need to compose.
Yeah. That was 74, then 53A.
And make sure the props get set.
Director's on set.
Now, in this scene Fanny...
Frizzy.
What?
The dog's name is Frizzy.
What did I say? Fanny.
Whatever. The dog
gets chased by a snake.
A lizard. I thought
we had a snake.
Snakes are too expensive.
Patricia made me re-write it.
What kind of picture
are we making, anyway?
It's a dog picture.
That is not a dog. I
grew up in the projects.
I know a rat when I see one.
She's a bichon frisй. What?
She's like a poodle, but not.
It's a metaphor for life's
struggle against conformity.
Look, I don't care what it
is. Let's just shoot this
so I can put the final nail
in the coffin of my career.
Sal? Yes, Herr director.
Would you get the girly dog and
the snake so we could do this?
Absolutely, sir.
And, sir, I can't wait for you to see
the trick I just taught the lizard.
Very complicated.
I'm amazed I was
able to accomplish it.
Get the dog. Yes, sir.
Who are you? Are
you on payroll?
I'm Eddie. I'm like the
assistant animal trainer.
Good for you.
So, is that it?
Hmm?
Yeah. That's Pete.
Pete?
Pete. Pete the lizard.
You wanna hold him?
No, no, no, no.
Can I see him, though?
Yeah. Sure.
Wow. He's so lizardy.
Yeah. Pretty
good-looking guy.
Hey, I think he likes you.
Oh, no. No.
Why? Why? Oh, the humanity.
What and why are you yelling?
Frizzy, the bichon
frisй, has been dognapped.
Why?
Hey!
What are you doing?
You stole my cookies!
You're not supposed
to eat the
