into the
house, a huge one, actually.
You destroy the kitchen.
You bring animals
in all the time.
- That's different.
- I don't see how.
Because it's my job.
It was my job.
It's different, okay?
Beethoven and I were
just making dinner.
It's not like anyone
would make it for us.
Now, what's that
supposed to mean?
Come on.
You know I have to work.
Hey.
I know.
It's just that
everything would be
so much easier
if Mom were here.
I miss her, too.
I think about her every day.
But, Billy, she's gone.
She's in our hearts now.
I...
I know. I 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,
I'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 leave 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.
Bye, creepy animals.
WOHey,
keep that dog quiet!
Frizzy, my poor
stressed-out little movie star.
You got your appetite back.
Yeah. Yeah.
What are you laughing at?
She's eating a sandwich,
like a person.
Is that my sandwich?
Bad dog. Bad dog.
It's him.
Idiots.
Hey, boss. I didn't see
you there. How's it going?
Hey, boss.
Do you have the ransom?
No, I don't have the ransom.
Would anyone like to ask me
why I don't have the ransom?
Why don't you
have the ransom?
Because they didn't pay it!
I mean, why would they pay it
when they have
not shot one frame
of film with Frizzy,
the bichon frisй?
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, I 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 have to pay.
They think
they can outsmart me,
Sal Demarco, the greatest animal
trainer in the history of Hollywood,
the man who taught
a chicken to fly
and a cat to come
when it's called.
Well, they can think again.
They can think again!
Wait, chickens don't fly.
Shut up.
Well, good morning.
How did you sleep?
Such a sweet little animal.
Adorable.
But don't worry. We're
taking you to a nice new home,
and you can sleep
all you want there.
Come on.
All right, come on, doggy.
Let's go. Inside.
Hey. No. Hey.
Doggy, doggy, doggy. Doggy!
Come on. In the truck.
No, no. Come back.
Come on. Doggy!
It's Beethoven.
I'm sorry. Beethoven.
Come on. Let's go.
Come on.
I think he should
ride up front with us.
Us?
Well, if you're
taking my new best friend
to the pound,
I think I get to go.
Okay.
Fine. Fine.
You can say goodbye.
I think he should
ride up front.
Up front? Never.
Animals ride in the back.
Stay here. I'm gonna go get
Pete. I'll be right back.
Okay.
I mean it.
Stay right here in the truck.
I don't get it.
Got no charisma.
I mean, do you really
think this guy is a star?
Yes. Yes, I do.
I think you could call
him Pappy, Pappy the Pug.
Poochie? Puggy?
I think he lost his mind.
Next!
You blew it.
Okay, which one of
you mongrels is next?
- Sal.
- What are doing here?
Well, I came to get
my things and Pete.
Pete? Pete? Don't know Pete. Who's next?
I am.
You've got to be kidding.
But he has
the heart of a wolf.
Pete is the lizard.
What lizard?
- My lizard.
- I see.
You lose my movie star but
you're interested in your lizard.
I didn't lose anybody.
