disrupted my audition.
Hold it! Hold it! Don't
you touch that dog!
That animal knocked me over.
He destroyed my backdrop.
That dog is amazing!
Sorry?
My sides are splitting.
Whose dog is this?
Uh-oh.
It's mine.
Who are you?
Eddie is one of
the animal trainers.
Was. Was.
I fired him after
the Frizzy dognapping.
Well, he's re-hired.
I will not work with this man.
You know what? You're
exactly right. Thank you.
You're fired! What?
Get him out of here.
You can't do that.
Take him off the lot.
Hey, I'm a member
of the union.
You can't do that!
I have a lanyard.
This is wrong on
so many levels.
What's the dog's name?
Beethoven.
Beethoven. I like it.
You know what?
Auditions are over!
This dog is the
star of my movie.
Everybody be ready first
thing tomorrow morning.
Stanley! Wait.
Wait. Wait a minute.
Hi. Hi.
I know we're going in
a new direction and all
but the movie is
about a bichon frisй.
It's in the title.
I never liked that title
as much as I love this dog.
Beethoven! I mean,
it's got a ring to it.
I like that as the title.
But it's about little Frizzy
and her little adventures.
She's French.
Not anymore.
It's about a big dog that
knocks everything down!
This dog is a superstar.
This could be my statue.
Stanley, you're
talking about re-writing
the whole film
around this dog.
Do you know how many
people would pay big money
to see what that dog just did?
Lisa, I think you should spend
some quality
time with the dog.
Just really get
inside his head.
See what makes him tick.
Same sets, same characters,
just put old Beethoven in there.
You're going to make
me a lot of money.
And Freddy...
Eddie.
Eddie. You're training a star.
Use the main gate from now on.
I love that dog!
Main gate.
Sweet. Main gate.
I've got a big bonus.
In your dreams, honey.
Wow. So...
What should l train him to do?
What?
Well, he said we start
shooting tomorrow,
so maybe I could see a script.
Oh.
Sure, I'll get you a script.
Only my script is about a
cute, fuzzy little French dog
who brings a family together.
I have no idea what
Beethoven is about!
Oh.
Say, I would like to thank
you for coming in here
and basically
wrecking my life.
Thank you, Lizard
Guy. Thank you.
Me? I didn't do anything.
No, your dog did.
So I'm just gonna go home and
make myself a pot of coffee
and start writing
a new script.
It's no big deal. Right?
I'm a professional.
Who needs sleep?
Not me, that's for
sure! I don't need sleep.
Why would I need sleep?
Why on earth
would I need sleep?
All I need to do is go
re-write the entire script
from page one.
Is she crazy?
Maybe.
This is it, Bill. I'm the head animal
trainer of a major motion picture.
''Use the main
gate,'' she said.
The main gate.
This could change everything.
Do you know what this means?
This means milk in your
cereal from now on, my son.
I mean, this is the big time.
I could be the animal
trainer to the stars.
I think there's something
wrong with Beethoven.
Wrong? What could be wrong?
He's going to be a major star.
He looks sad.
Are you sad, boy?
Beethoven! Beethoven!
Hey! Hey, come back.
Dad, come on.
I gotta get that dog back.
I gotta get him back.
Where's he going?
Lost dog! Sorry!
Come on.
Whippersnapper.
Where did he go?
There he is. Go!
Beethoven!
Beethoven!
What is he doing?
Why would he run away?
I thought he liked me.
We can't lose that dog, Billy.
You just wanna find him
'cause of that movie.
That dog is our meal ticket.
This time you pay. My neck.
There he is! Beethoven!
There he goes.
Hey, hey! Beethoven!
Oh, no.
Whoa!
Dad, we have puppies.
Wow.
This is why
Beethoven ran away.
He was bringing them food.
Are these your puppies, boy?
Maybe he's not a boy.
Nope. He's a boy, all right.
I bet he's their dad.
Where's your wife, Beethoven?
Hey, Dad, I think Beethoven's
a single dad, just like you.
Uh-uh. We are not taking in
this huge dog and three
