You know I had
nothing to do with that.
All of your things are
underneath the stairwell.
If you have a lizard,
that's where it would be.
You mean you
didn't even feed him?
I've had a lot of
things on my mind. Next.
Pete.
Pete.
Pete, are you all right?
These are just
a bunch of mutts.
You're 10 times the dog,
Beethoven.
Dad found Pete.
I was worried
about you, buddy.
Is he all right?
Yeah. Pete's doing iust fine.
Aren't you, Pete?
- Beethoven!
- Pete!
Come back!
Beethoven! No!
Hey, get back here.
Where is he?
That's not even a dog.
Not technically.
But check out the personality.
It's a cat.
Yes, but a charming cat.
I think we could
call it Kitty the Cat.
That's the fattest cat
I've ever seen.
Thyroid condition.
Look, man,
the movie is about a dog.
I need a dog, not a cat.
I need a dog.
Yes, sir.
Hey. What kind of
dog was that?
Hey. Hey.
Get me out of here!
Now, that's a dog.
Humungous hairy dog.
Pete!
Watch this dog!
This dog is coming at me!
Here he comes!
Show me the dog.
Get this mangy
mutt out of here.
Doesn't he know
I'm the producer?
Get me Sal.
Get me out of this chair!
Dad, the door.
He's not gonna make it.
Pete! I'm coming, Pete.
Stop. Heel, heel!
Could you help me?
Hey, that's the producer.
Somebody help her.
Somebody help me.
Are you okay?
Come on. Easy.
You okay?
Don't. Stay.
Don't, don't. Stay.
We got you. Easy. Easy.
You all right?
Phenomenal!
Eject these hoodlums
from the lot immediately!
They 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 I
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 Beethoyen 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 iust 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.
