instant.
You want to get me into trouble?
-Emily, are you all right?
-l fell in.
Oh, Emily, you must`ve been so scared!
l thought l was gonna die.
You poor little thing.
Now, you were never
in any real danger, were you?
We don`t want you to get into trouble,
so we`ll let this be our little secret.
l`d like to call my mother, please.
-Your mother?
-lmmediately.
She must`ve snuck out
while l was watching Ted and Ryce.
lt was hot out, so l guess
she wanted to take a little swim.
Where were you
while this was happening?
Where l was supposed to be,
inside watching the other two.
lf Emily had stayed where l put her,
none of this would`ve happened.
lf you ask me, what these children need
is a little discipline.
What these children need is their mother.
You`re fired.
-Honey, it was an accident.
-So what?
lt is just that we had a bad baby-sitter.
We`ll find somebody responsible
to look after the kids.
-Over my dead body.
-Come on.
We`re fine on our own.
You don`t have to entertain us.
Do you have any kids?
We have a career.
Big one.
Excuse us.
-Brats.
-Monsters.
lf we pull this off...
...in six months we will own
Newton Auto Air Fresheners.
Touch it.
Sorry for the delay.
-We--
-No problem.
-Vegetables. Here you go.
-Look at that.
-Here`s the paperwork, Giorgio.
-l`ve got my own chair, honey.
-Look at that.
-You gonna do that now, honey?
Alicia.
-Alice.
-Alice.
l`m sorry. Alice.
Could l have a refill, please?
Sure.
Thank you.
Just right down at the bottom, George.
-This is everything we`ve discussed?
-Yes, exactly.
Right at the bottom, you can sign.
Don`t sign that now.
Let`s have something to eat?
-You can read it over--
-Alice, tell me about your dog.
Well, he`s a dog.
He sure is! Hello, cutesy-ootsy.
-He`s a St. Bernard.
-He`s a purebred St. Bernard, isn`t he?
Hello. Look at that big old tongue
you`ve got! Yes!
Look at that. Come here. Oh, yeah.
You wanna come with Mommy and Daddy?
Yes, you do.
Come on.
We`ll come to Mommy and Daddy.
Come on. Come on.
l just love these big, dumb animals.
l bet you do.
Dogs obey so much better
than children, don`t they?
Come here. Look, cutesy-ootsy-oogy.
Mama just loves
this great big doggie-woggie.
The places for you to sign...
...are marked by that blue clip right there.
This are all standard stuff?
You sure you wanna
`"signee-wignee`" right now?
Alice, l`m sorry.
l`ve got that. You be careful.
l don`t want you to break a nail.
Right down there where the blue arrow is.
Right there.
Honey, you sit. l`ve got this.
You guys don`t seem
to have made a good impression.
-l`m crushed.
-Me, too.
l`ll cry all night.
l don`t like `em either. But these people
are important to Dad`s business.
l hope Beethoven slimes that lady`s dress.
lf you don`t want our capital...
...we could find another investment
somewhere else.
-Sure!
-No, no, no.
-Beethoven, down, down.
-ls there some problem?
-No, no.
-Did l miss anything?
No. Giorgio has gone over all the papers...
...and he`s about to sign.
Just standard stuff, really.
Will you get outta here, you mutt!
l pitched in college.
Beethoven, stop!
Bad dog!
Sit! Stop! Stay!
Oh, no!
Beethoven!
l really don`t like our dog.
l really don`t like those people.
l don`t trust them.
l don`t want their money.
l know my opinion doesn`t matter,
but l`m not interested in expanding.
lf l had been home instead
of helping you impress those morons...
...Emily wouldn`t have fallen in the pool.
And l`m not re-entering the workforce.
You`re gonna have to do this on your own.
And you will.
Somehow you`ll make your fortune.
And tucked away behind you, deep
in the shadows, will be me and the kids.
That`s how you see me.
Suddenly l`m a lousy husband and father.
Everything was fine
until Beethoven came into our lives.
l`ve tried to be patient, but l`ve had it.
The dog has to go.
l`m proud of Beethoven.
Those two idiots insulted your kids
and treated me
