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 нs нn fнve mнnutes.
I want the scene нn 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, iust 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 iust wrong.
Aw!
I like the whole
shoelsandal 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 iust 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 them.
He hates wearing it,
but he's gonna keep wearing it
until he accepts it.
Isn't that right, boy?
Let me ask you something.
Is this...
Is this what you wanted
to do with your life?
I wanna tell stories that move
people, that make a difference.
You probably do
tell good stories.
You're a real good talker.
- Really?
- Really.
Oh.
Yeah, I'm told I'm
also brainy and refined.
And pretty.
Well, I better get back
to "roll over" school.
No! No! Heel! Heel!
Beethoven, no!
Stop! Bad dog.
Doggy, doggy, stop.
Don't. Don't. No!
No.
That's going in the movie!
Glad I could help.
Maybe he's iust stupid.
There's no
stupid dogs, Eddie.
You don't understand.
Nobody understands.
This dog is off his rails,
and no amount of whispering is
gonna bring him under control.
We must learn
what Beethoven wants.
What he wants?
What Beethoven wants?
All he wants is food.
Food, food, food!
You see that?
You see that?
That's all he cares about.
That's not true.
He cares about us.
Listen, the producer says I
have to take it from this nut.
I do not have to take
it from you, young man.
Billy is right.
Beethoven cares about you.
He longs for you to
welcome him into your pack.
My pack?
Your family.
Whoa, whoa, hold on,
he is not part of our pack.
I mean, he is not
part of our family.
My family is not a pack.
Three puppies, a kid and a
father, that's a pack, Dad.
Would you just
do your homework?
Look at your pack, Eddie.
They want you to lead.
I am an animal trainer.
I'm not a pack leader.
This isn't a pack.
And Beethoven, I'm sorry,
but this is just a movie,
and you are iust a prop.
All I can say,
it's never the dog.
Yeah.
It's never the dog, Dad.
Hey! Eddie! Eddie!
Remember how funny it was
when Beethoven and the
puppies ate all your shoes?
Vividly.
I just added it into
the movie. It's hilarious.
It's not hilarious.
It's really annoying.
And I wish that you would just
stop using moments in my life
where that dog
makes me miserable
and just putting it
in your movie.
But it's funny.
It's not funny.
It's not funny to me.
What's the matter with you?
That dog!
He doesn't listen. He
doesn't do what he's told.
He wrecks everything.
And then he gets
praised for it.
You know, yesterday, I tried to
teach him to roll over for four hours.
Just to roll over!
And he won't do it!
He misbehaves.
You put it
