studio
would like to do with
that star over there,
the one smelling
his own bottom.
I'm attached to produce.
You're the trainer.
Everybody wins. Unless
you rock the boat.
So look at it like
this, don't screw up.
Train Beethoven and
let that dog put us
on the front page
of Variety. Okay?
Okay. Okay.
Here you go, honey.
Whenever you have a minute.
Take your time. He's gorgeous.
Thanks.
What are you smiling at?
When's my next
appointment? Just quit it.
Hello? Beethoven,
where are you?
May I help you?
Sal?
Sal, I know it's you.
Well, of course it's me.
I'm joking, obviously.
What are you doing here?
What am I doing here?
Hey, pal. I got a
pass. I work here
on the incredibly
popular Animals Gone Wild.
We shoot right over here, on
the main stage, on the lot.
That is what I'm doing here.
I meant, what are you doing
here, spying on my dog?
That. That. Just came
by to say hello. Hello.
Came by to see the big fellow.
How're you doing?
Beethoven, he's beautiful!
Look at that big fellow.
Come to Daddy. Come to Daddy.
Wow. Get that
beast away from me!
I don't think he likes
you very much, Sal.
Hey, good luck
with your new job.
I sure am enjoying
your old one.
Come on, boy. Come
on. He's a bad man,
but you're a good
boy. You're a good boy!
All right.
Now, listen to me.
I want you to roll
over, you understand?
Come on, no. No. Come back!
Roll. Roll over.
They're kind of
dorky, aren't they?
Actually, yeah.
But in a good way.
Sit. Come on.
My dad says you really
don't like Beethoven,
that you would prefer
a baybreeze frizay.
Bichon frisй.
How would your dad
know what I prefer?
Well, he says you're more brainy and
refined and meant for bigger things.
Bigger than what?
Us, I guess.
Come on, now.
I wouldn't be so sure.
He said you were pretty, too.
He did, did he?
No. But you are!
Thank you, Billy.
I think you're teaching my dad
how to be more
brainy and refined.
Oh?
Whoa!
Oh!
But it's not easy.
Oh.
Prep 52A, and we'll knock
that out and call it a day.
All right, quiet people! I
hear way too much talking!
If you wanna have
fun, go to the dentist.
So what does our beautiful
Beethoven have in store for us today?
Well, in this scene, Beethoven
tiptoes into the dining room,
and when the
family's not looking,
he gingerly steals a
shrimp off the dad's plate.
That's it?
No, no, no, he steals the
shrimp, and then it's funny.
He leaves some
slobber on the plate.
Isn't that the same beat we
played yesterday with the bacon?
It's a call back,
rule of threes.
Hey, hey! Get to
work down there.
Get to work.
Lunch is in five minutes.
I want the scene in the can!
Okay. Let's see what happens.
Okay. Come on,
buddy. Let's go.
All right, places,
people. Let's do this!
Quiet, quiet.
Okay, Beethoven. Just
like we practiced.
When the dad looks away, you just
tiptoe in and you grab that shrimp.
You got it?
Is he slobbery enough?
Yeah.
Okay, people, Let’s
get this right.
Quiet. We are
working with dogs.
Okay, buddy, just stay calm.
Wait for it. Wait for it.
And roll sound.
Speed. Camera.
Set.
And action!
Ready? Now, go.
Action.
What happened to the tiptoe?
Oh!
Cut! Print!
That is what I'm
talking about.
That's a trailer moment.
Give it up
for my super star, Beethoven,
and his genius trainer.
No.
Don't! No!
No!
Beethoven!
Roll over. Roll over.
Roll over. Roll over.
God. Really?
That is just wrong.
Aw!
I like the whole
shoe sandal thing
you got going on
there. Very trendy.
I don't get it.
That dog is smart.
At least I think he's smart.
He finds a way to sneak
into my bed every night,
but he won't roll
over. What is that?
Well, it seems like what
he's doing is working. Right?
I mean, the studio
certainly seems happy.
I'm an animal trainer.
I don't let them just run wild
and do whatever they wanna do
and then take
the credit for it.
Why does he have
that leash on?
He keeps chewing through
