Air Bud (1997) Family Edit

A ball is nothing but rubber and air, Larry.

A basketball playing dog ! [ Laughing ]

A beer commercial ? No, I don't want my dog to do beer commercials.

A little worn,

A lot easier when the pressure's off, isn't it ?

A regular Michael "Woof" Jordan.

A thousand years from now, Virginia

A whole lot can happen in seven minutes.

About his point average, whether he's M.V.P.

Afternoon.

Air Bud !

Alas, how dreary would the world be if there were no Santa Claus.

All right, all right. Pass the balls.

All right, but if you slow down my tryout, I'm gonna have to pull you out.

All right, gentlemen, listen up.

All right, I'll take it, but we have to do this seriously.

All right, let's go get 'em !

All right, now, I tell ya what we'll do.

All right, put those hands together. Come on, come on.

All right, the game's not over yet.

All right. As long as we're clear.

All right. Okay, fellas, you did your best.

All the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the world.

All these people here did not come here because of a piece of property.

All we gotta do is just give it our best shot every day.

And don't move until I come back.

And her talented son, Josh.

And I wondered if, maybe, you and

And maybe to a dog...

And now for the grand finale, kids !

And that's a victory right there.

And the dog !

And the new mascot for the Timberwolves' basketball team...

And then he found Buddy here.

And you know that they abound and give to your life...

Are those that neither children nor men can see.

Arthur Chaney ? New York Knicks, '56 ?

Aw, jeez.

Aw, sweetie.

Basketball.

Basketball... is what you do with it.

Be a man, Larry !

Because Buddy doesn't like him. Buddy's my friend.

Because of his irresponsible and criminal activity, is responsible for what you see.

Because whatever happens tonight,

Before you play with this,

Begging your humblest pardon, I thought it might be helpful to Your Honor...

Blue, Blue, come on.

Blue, yes. Now you're comin' home with Daddy.

Break it up. Give me the ball.

Buddy !

Buddy !

Buddy !

Buddy ! Buddy !

Buddy ! Ew !

Buddy ?

Buddy ?

Buddy ? Buddy ?

Buddy, Buddy !

Buddy, Buddy, Buddy !

Buddy, come on. Buddy, come on, please. Buddy, Buddy.

Buddy, come on. Run !

Buddy, get over here !

Buddy, no !

Buddy, no !

Buddy, no.

Buddy, stop !

Buddy.

Buddy.

Buddy. Bad dog.

Buddy's given him something to look forward to.

But he's lost interest in that too.

But I know we're gonna get through it.

But just to be on the safe side, our secret, okay ?

But still has a nice bounce to it.

But tell me about extracurricular programs.

But that boy that young hooligan

But the minute after, he's outta here.

But this is no ordinary golden retriever.

But this one... I like.

But to me, he's a player who's got a whole lot to learn.

By the powers vested in me, I award custody of the dog to Josh Framm.

Case closed. Thank God.

Check in, Josh.

Check out the new kid.

Chris ! Chris !

Coach, just let him.

Come back here ! Hey, get out of there !

Come on ! Come on, Larry. Let's have a little hustle.

Come on ! Get up here ! I warned you.

Come on, boy.

Come on, Buddy !

Come on, Lar ! That's it ! Show 'em how it's done, boy !

Come on, Larry. We're leavin'.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. I'm just playing.

Come on. Let's go. You wanna play ? Good boy.

Come on. My mom's gonna be home at 5:00.

Come on. No more fouls, guys. We can't afford to lose anyone else.

Come on. We're only down by ten.

Come on. You ready ? Here we go.

Cool. Pizza.

Could you hold on a minute ? I have another call. Thanks.

Could you sign this ?

Defense !

Did I tell you that the Fernfield Napkin Factory...

Did you ever see him hit the dog ?

Did you know that Buddy could do that ?

Do not get attached to this dog, Josh. Do not !

Do you hear me ? You're going to the pound !

Do you see any other Framms sittin' here ? Check in !

Do you understand ?

Does Josh have any interests or hobbies ?

Does she like dogs ?

Dog's in for two minutes, he's got three assists.

Don't Don't hang on to it, Josh. Pass it on.

Don't even waste your time, water boy.

Don't let him go to his left. Don't let him go to his left.

Don't worry about all those people. Hey.

Even more amazing than the Timberwolves' miraculous mid season turnaround...

Everything's fine. Just doin' my homework.

Excuse me, sir.

Fast break, fast break !

Fine. You can play.

For next week's final against the Warriors.

Foul, number six. One and one.

Framm ! You're late ! Bring over that rack of balls !

Framm, number four, now entering the game.

Framm, where did you get that ?

Gentlemen, stay on your spots.

Get !

Get ! I don't want you anymore !

Get him !

Get out of my way !

Get your butts out here. Let's see if you can play ball.

Give me the ball.

Go !

Go ! Come on, shoot !

Go ! Get out of here ! Don't you understand ?

Go on, Buddy. You're free now.

Go on.

Go, Buddy !

Good boy !

Good boy.

Good boy.

Good boy. Yeah, good boy.

Good boy. Yeah. Good boy. Let's go. Come on. Let's go, boy.

Good, good, good. Looking good.

Good. Good ! Now you're gettin' it.

Half the team is out.

Hawkes just told me Larry's dad moved the whole family to Spokane...

He always knew what to do.

He arrives before the team. He leaves after the team. Think you can handle it ?

He doesn't make friends very easily.

He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist.

He hates you ! He hates you !

He just loves to play the game.

He practices with the team. He travels with the team.

He shoots... and scores !

He will continue to make glad...

He's like a son to me !

He's more of a golden shooter. Don't believe me ? Take a look.

He's not human. He's a stray.

He's part of the team, and he's part of our family now, Your Honor.

He's right. Ain't no rule that says a dog can't play basketball.

Hell's bells, Your Honor, all I wanna do is get Old Blue back.

Hello ? Yes, this is Mrs. Framm.

Here, boy.

Here, I got you a little something.

Hey !

Hey !

Hey ! [ Grunting ]

Hey ! Get back here with my dog !

Hey, boy ! Yeah, good boy, good boy. You want it, boy ?

Hey, boy, come and get it ! Come and get it !

Hey, boy.

Hey, boy. Want me to get those rags off ya ?

Hey, Buddy, it's Christmas.

Hey, do not make me use this, okay ?

Hey, fellas, I got an idea.

Hey, get out. Can't you see this is wet paint ?

Hey, gimme that. Gimme that ball.

Hey, Jackie ! What's new ?

Hey, kid, you're new here, right ?

Hey, kids, it's happy, slappy time !

Hey, Mike, pass !

Hey!

Hi, I'd like to report a problem with my morning newspaper delivery.

Hi, Mom ! Can I help with the groceries ?

Hi. "Clown and the Hound."

Hi. Hello ? Oh, hi ! Weren't you guys supposed to start wallpapering today ?

His name is Buddy,

Hmm ? Mom, would you hold on a minute ? I have another call.

Hold your head up and do the best you can.

Holy Toledo, what is that dog doing in the courthouse ?

How are ya, boy ? Did you have a good sleep ? Did ya ?

How was the trombone ?

How was your day ?

How you doin', buddy ?

Huh. I was at that Celtics game where you did the turnaround jumper at the buzzer.

I bet you won't be able to guess what this one is.

I can't stand birthday cakes !

I could be there in 15, 20 minutes.

I don't believe this.

I don't get it.

I don't know where you learned to do this,

I don't wanna play.

I figured out why Bolivia didn't get the napkins. Venezuela got 'em. Yeah.

I got I'm I got Look, I got ethics.

I got an idea.

I got papers.

I got this out of Shawn Kemp's trash.

I got two slots open.

I got you, kid !

I gotta get these flyers out to the boys who tried out for the team and didn't make it.

I guess I just like basketball.

I guess.

I hate birthday parties !

I hate kids ! I hate being a clown !

I have heard a lot of lamebrain cockamamie proposals,

I keep calling and calling.

I know they'll love you, so I'm gonna set you free.

I know what he's feeling, so he knows what I'm feeling.

I know you're only a dog,

I know, Mom. It's not called moonlighting. Oh, I found it.

I love you.

I mean, hey, he's just a dog. What does he know ?

I needed that !

I owe that to you boys here...

I spilled beer all over my wife.

I swear I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes.

I swear, you're gonna grow up to be a lawyer someday.

I think an instrument would be just the thing !

I thought if I made the basket, the guys would've,

I understand. I'm sure he's going to do very well here.

I used to spend a lot of time around here because my grandparents lived here.

I will not have my courtroom turned into some kind of a circus.

I wish I could go back to before I ever knew you could make a basket.

I wish my dad were here.

I wouldn't know.

I'd like you all to welcome our very own guard Josh Framm...

I'd love to do Jay Leno. [ Chuckling ]

I'll see you in court.

I'll take my dog back now.

I'm gonna get you, you little

I'm here to try out for the team.

I'm not getting one. No, I haven't gotten one for weeks now.

I'm open. Larry, come on !

I'm packing Dennis Rodman's Juicy Fruit.

I'm sorry.

I'm the plaintiff.

I'm the president of the Booster Club,

I've seen a lot of players in the pros...

If I appeared here today in the guise most pertinent...

If that's the case,

If we're gonna make it to the play offs, we're gonna have to start winnin'.

If you'll take just one single step toward that dog, you lose.

If you're just out there for yourself, you lose.

Iike that guy Chaney, for instance,

Including leading scorer Larry Willingham.

Injury. Time out.

Is that Oprah woman Oprah, you know, the Oprah woman

Is the third largest manufacturer of napkins in all North America ?

Is their mascot's incredible abilities.

Isn't it cute ? Oh, don't forget:

It broke me up real bad.

It looks like he stole that ball from the Harlem Globetrotters.

It was in my locker.

It would be great for school spirit !

It'll be good for me.

It's a menace ! I'm bringin' him in now !

It's all in here, Josh.

It's been difficult. So, anyway...

It's half.

It's not moonlighting. You're allowed to have two jobs.

It's okay. It's okay. Baby, it's okay. Josh !

It's over, Coach. Let's forfeit.

Its highest beauty and joy.

Josh !

Josh !

Josh ?

Josh, down low, down low.

Josh, would you come in here, please ?

Josh. Hi ! Josh !

Just for curiosity's sake, though,

Just like we always do.

Just so he could play for the Warriors.

Just stay out of my way.

K9 checking in.

K9.

Larry, get in there !

Larry, out !

Let me get back to coaching my team.

Let's go !

Let's go.

Look at my new shoes, man.

Look, what do you think I am anyway ?

Make sure you use cold water.

Make the same mistake you made.

Maybe none of this would've ever happened.

Meanwhile, he stays outside. And if you try to sneak him in here just once

Mmm. Larry's father volunteered. Just until we find a new P.E. teacher.

Mom, do you remember when I used to have a hamster ?

Mom, Mom, Mom. I swear.

Morning, Mom !

Move back, everybody ! Way back. Come along now. Way back.

Mr. Chaney, during my 40 years on the bench,

Mr. Norman F. Snively, Your Honor.

Mrs. Framm, as far as this court is concerned,

My new job is just ten minutes away.

Nay, ten times 10,000 years from now

Nervous ?

Next case: Snively versus Framm.

Nice catch.

Nice shot.

No !

No ! I'll do it later.

No poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence.

No Santa Claus ?

No way.

No, April's not good for us. We're booked on a tour.

No, Buddy ! No.

No, I don't know where you are. That's why I'm calling ya.

No, I have way too much on my plate as it is.

Nobody can conceive or imagine...

Not that he's not friendly. It's just Well, he doesn't talk much these days.

Nothing ! Can't a guy even help his mom with the groceries ?

Now I'll kindly ask you to take your seat, Mr. Willingham.

Now we put the plate in our mouth !

Now, begin calling the dog.

Now, I've got five of my boys back from last year,

Now, let's try it again.

Now, we're off to a rocky start.

Now, you're here today to try out for the school's finest tradition:

Oh, but I'm going on like a faucet. Melissa, this is Mrs. Framm...

Oh, darn it

Oh, here.

Oh, I used to play the flute when I was his age. That was fun.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Oh.

Oh, my God ! Oh, my !

Oh, my God.

Oh, no, I'm sure he's a really great, great paperboy.

Oh, no, no. I'm sure he didn't mean to put one up on private property.

Oh, okay.

Oh, that kind of blows ethics right out of the water, doesn't it ?

Oh, the man of the hour.

Oh, what a day. What a day.

Okay, blow a little harder.

Okay, boy, we're just playing. Stay.

Okay, come here. Hold it. Hold it.

Okay, dog, your turn.

Okay, in you go.

Okay, mutt. Show time.

Okay, what's going on ?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Old Blue, come to Daddy.

Old Blue.

Old friend, come on. Come this way. Come on.

On your next birthday, me and the dog, we'll come out, we'll do a show for you cheap.

One week, and if nobody claims him, he goes straight to the pound.

Ow ! [ Whimpering ]

Ow!

Pass the ball ! Pass it !

Pick a card, any card.

Please ! Wait !

Please, Buddy. Go.

Please, please, don't take Buddy away from my son.

Practice is Friday afternoon. You be here.

Raise your hands, gentlemen.

Regulation weight, size.

Remember what got us here ? Teamwork.

Scottie Pippen dropped this orange peel at the Sonics game. I picked it up.

Sean, left hook, Sean.

See, I'm a clown by profession. Happy Slappy's the name. Clown and the Hound.

Shoot !

Shouldn't the dog be able to choose who he wants to be friends with ?

Sit down. Rest. Here we go.

Sit, boy.

So I don't expect you to understand what I'm gonna say.

So I thought that the move would really be the best thing for us, especially for Josh.

So it can be him and me together just like it always was.

So, can I keep him ?

Somebody else is gonna find you too.

Sorry to disturb ya. Name's Norm Snively. I believe you've got my dog.

Sorry, Josh. Come on, Buddy.

Sorry, sweetie, that was Grandma on the phone.

Stewart ! I don't wanna see you drop the ball again. You got it ?

Stewart, don't try to be a hero. Your job on this team is to get the ball to Willingham.

Stop the dribbling. Pass the ball.

Stupid dog !

Stupid thing.

Sure. He wouldn't have wanted you being all mopey.

T Toss it to him, I guess.

Teamwork ! Teamwork !

Thank God he lives, and he lives forever.

Thank you, Mom. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you !

Thanks anyway.

Thanks.

That dog couldn't give a rat's behind...

That dog doesn't like you. So the answer is no.

That dog is my dog ! I got pictures !

That guy'll just come and take you back.

That guy's dead. Died a long time ago.

That makes him an adult in our years.

That this man abused your dog ?

That'll be enough.

That's great !

That's it, Buddy. Go on. You can do it, Buddy. You can do it.

That's it, gentlemen. Showers !

That's it. Concentrate on the ball.

That's my boy !

That's my son !

That's perfect. We can't dump him before Christmas.

That's right, boy. Come on. Come on.

That's the way !

That's the, uh, child, sir.

The heart of childhood."

The most real things in the world...

The only one allowed to mouth off at the referee is me.

The Simmons twins moved to Canada. God knows why.

Then how did you know the dog was abused ?

There would be no childlike faith then.

There's nine of you here. Only two of you are comin' back.

There's no problem, Ms. Framm.

These last months have been some of the best I've ever had.

They came here because of Buddy. He's part of this town.

They say a dog is man's best friend.

They'll come out all miniaturized if you don't.

They're killin' us on the transitions. Full court press.

This always brought me good luck. You should carry it tonight.

This dog's what, three, four years old.

This is a good place.

This is a joke. I mean, dogs don't play basketball.

This is a team,

This one of your high profile divorce cases ?

This year, we are goin' all the way. Why's that, Willingham ?

To the cogent and unequivocal stating of my case.

Uh oh. Buddy, you gotta stay here, okay ?

Uh, let's get started.

Uh, my son...

Uh, we have a real treat for you tonight, folks.

Um, have you found a basketball coach yet ?

Up high !

Wait !

Wait a minute.

Was very unhappy.

Water boy !

Water boy.

We are here to win...

We have your little sister to think about. No. The answer is no.

We'll see you all in two weeks.

We'll start off with a little bit of plate spinnin', okay ?

We're here at Fernfield School...

We're okay. Everyone's okay. We We're okay. Fine.

We're two and two.

We've only got four players. What are we gonna do ?

Well, actually, Your Honor, l l had papers to prove it.

Well, Buddy, I found you.

Well, he used to like to play basketball with his dad,

Well, here we are.

Well, it wasn't supposed to be.

Well, jeez, almost gave me a heart attack.

Well, let's see. We have an excellent band.

Well, the fact is, Your Honor, that dog's my property, and I have papers to prove it.

Well, uh, I could use a manager.

Well, would you show them to me, please ?

Well... no.

What ? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know where that is.

What ? Why are you taking me out ?

What are we talking about for one of those beer commercials ?

What did you do ?

What on earth is that box doing in the middle of the road ?

What team you playin' for ? What team you playin' for ? Who's gonna win ?

What team's gonna win ?

What the heck's goin' on here ?

What the hell do you think you're doin' ?

What's going on here ?

What's the matter, gentlemen ? Afraid your team might get beat by a dog ?

What's the matter, water boy ? [ Laughing ]

What's with Josh today ?

What's wrong ?

Whatever, whatever. Y Y You go first, clown.

When I lost him the second time, it darn near killed me.

When we first moved to this town,

Where the Timberwolves have just qualified...

Which is why I'm lookin' for a couple of winners.

Which means when one boy gets the chicken pox,

Who are you, Barnum or Bailey ?

Who isn't here.

Who the hell are you ?

Whoa !

Whoa ! How did you get up here ?

Whoa.

Why ? So you can abuse him some more ?

Why are you puttin' yourself through this ?

Why don't I take care of that laundry as long as I'm here ?

Why not let the dog choose, Your Honor ?

Will somebody please suppress that dog ?

Will somebody suppress that clown ?

Won't somebody cover the dog ? Don't just look at the dog. Cover him !

Would it be okay if I get a couple references ?

Would it be too much trouble if I tried out anyway ?

Would it be weird if I made a suggestion ?

Would somebody cover the dog ?

Would you shut up out there !

Wouldn't he be a great mascot ?

Yea, Josh !

Yeah !

Yeah ! All right ! That's great !

Yeah ! Nice shot !

Yeah, come on !

Yeah, dog pound ? I got a vicious dog. No, it's a horrible dog.

Yeah, go get it, go get it.

Yeah, good boy.

Yeah, good boy. Just like we always do.

Yeah, it's It's It's No !

Yeah, that's a good boy. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah !

Yeah. Well, no, I got a map. I got a map here in the truck.

Yes !

Yes !

Yes !

Yes ! Yes !

Yes, Mrs. Grayson, I know, but that account needs to be zeroed out.

Yes, my son put up those flyers.

You already showed me that.

You are making a home for him, and this is not his home.

You can do this.

You can win at life.

You can't come home with me.

You can't do that !

You can't run fast enough !

You check in your rule book. Bet you won't find anything that says a dog can't play.

You could do that. Just meet the ball. Just catch the ball.

You don't get what ?

You gotta get your information from somewhere else.

You gotta learn how to play with your teammates.

You gotta let the ball do the work.

You gotta play from the heart.

You gotta understand that

You have to go, Buddy.

You know what, Mr. Snively, I believe my son is right.

You know, accepted me.

You know, Old Old

You know, they say a team is a community,

You know, we've all been through a lot in this last year.

You like basketball ?

You little darned kid ! That's my dog !

You make the basket, then you draw the foul ! Come on !

You may address the court.

You see this ball ?

You see, sir, when I lost my dog for the first time,

You see, when his dad passed away last year

You think this is me ?

You took that shot for the wrong reasons, Josh. See that dog ?

You tried to get that slam dunk. Yeah, right.

You wanna play, Buddy ?

You want the ball ? You want the ball ?

You work so hard, Mom.

You're goin' down tonight, water boy.

You're going to the pound !

You're not watching your teammates, Larry. You're playing with an invisible ball.

You've been keeping this under your hat. [ Chuckling ]

Young man, have you any evidence...

Your dad would've wanted it that way.

Your son's had his little fun. Now I think it's time to give me back what's rightfully mine.

'Cause we're winners, sir. That's right.

[ Baby Crying ] You okay ?

[ Barking ] Come on, boy.

[ Barking ] Here !

[ Buzzer Buzzing ] What's the most important word ?

[ Cheering ] Yes ! Yes !

[ Children Screaming ] [ Mother ] Oh !

[ Dog Whines ] Josh, there's nothing that we can do.

[ Engine Starts ] Please, just talk to me !

[ Gasping ] Oh, hey.

[ Glass Shattering ] Josh !

[ Glass Thuds ] Now then

[ Grunting ] What's that ?

[ Larry ] Two points ! Fine.

[ Laughing ] He can't try out. He's the water boy.

[ Observers Laughing ] It's a dog.

[ Together ] Teamwork ! Let's go.

[ Whistle Blowing ] That was our ball, ref !

All right ? Timberwolves ! [ Shouting ]

An orange peel ? Not just any orange peel.

Arthur Chaney, Your Honor. Mr. Chaney, do you reali

Baby, it's okay. I'll tell you what, kid.

Bailiff ! [ Barking ] You said "speak."

Bailiff, what is that ? The dog, Your Honor.

Buddy ! [ Crowd Gasping ]

Buddy ! Buddy ! Come to Daddy !

Buddy, come on, please. Buddy, come on. Daddy loves ya.

Buddy, come on. Come on. Don't pay any attention to that boy.

Buddy, how are ya ? [ Barking ]

Buddy, no. Buddy, no ! Get over here !

Buddy. [ Whimpering ]

Buddy. Buddy could do that trick at the next half time show.

But, Dad ? Now !

Bye, Mom. I got practice. I'll be home late. Bye, honey.

Can someone cover that dog ? I don't believe this.

Cold water. Huh ?

Come back here ! [ Screaming ] [ Whimpering ]

Come on, Buddy. Please. Please, Buddy. Blue !

Come on, Buddy. Yeah, good boy. [ Barking ]

Come on. Over this way. Buddy, don't !

Come on. You wanna come to me. Buddy !

Cover him, cover him. What was that, Greg ? [ Groaning ]

Cover him. My mother could cover that dog.

Daddy loves ya, baby. Buddy, Buddy.

Did you know that he could play basketball ? There he is !

Does he dribble ? No, but he might drool a little bit.

Don't drag your feet. Don't drag your feet. I got the shot.

Down, down. Let's go ! [ Whistle Blowing ]

Excuse me ? Can I help with the groceries ?

Excuse me. Get back here !

Framm, check in ! Me ?

Get it, Buddy. Get it. Get it. [ Whistle Blowing ]

Get over here ! [ Growling ]

Go, Buddy ! [ Groaning ]

Go, Buddy, go ! [ Shouting ]

Good dog, Buddy ! What are you doing ? [ Groaning ]

Good night, Art. Good night.

Great ! [ Cheering ]

Great. It's okay.

Hacking number three, hacking number three. Get your butt over here !

He doesn't wanna go with you. What's the problem ?

He's got papers. He's my dog !

He's telling the truth, Your Honor. Who's that ?

Hey, boy. Josh.

Hey, Buddy ! Come on. Come on, boy !

Hey, good boy. Come on, Buddy. Hey, Blue !

Hey, Mom, you wanted to see me ? What are you doing ?

Hi. Hi.

How was school ? It sucks.

Huh ? What ? My dog.

I can't hear you ! [ Together ] Timberwolves !

I can't take this, Tom. It's okay.

I don't see nothin'. Well, I do. It's a good ball.

I know what you're doing. What am I doing ?

I say let Buddy decide. [ Observers Murmuring ]

I'd take care of him. Josh, we don't know anything about this dog.

I'll handle this, Josh. The Timberwolves wanna substitute a dog.

Is everything okay in here ? Yeah, Mom.

It's the gavel, sir. What ? Speak up ! [ Barking ]

Josh ! Christmas. That's like two weeks and a couple days, right ?

Josh ! I'm fine, Mom !

Josh, did you see my newspaper ? No, Mom !

Josh, go on in for Larry. Huh ?

Josh, I'm home ! Buddy, stay.

Josh. No !

Just running Tom through a little drill. That'll be enough, Joe.

Larry plays for the Warriors now ? Yeah.

Let it go, Buddy. Come on. Break it up.

Let's go ! [ Whistle Blowing ]

Look what Daddy's got for ya. No, Buddy !

Maybe you'd like to see his papers. Uh Uh

Merry Christmas, Josh. Buddy !

Miss Pepper ? Mm hmm.

Mmm. Um

Mr. Chaney. Well, I've been thinking.

Nice job ! Nice job ! [ Laughing ]

No ! Are you okay ?

No ! You can't take him ! Josh ! Honey, honey !

No, sir. Custody. Oh, custody.

Not exactly. Josh, spit it out !

Now, are you ready to play ? [ Together ] Yeah !

Oh, he's traveling. He's traveling. Traveling dog.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Thank you.

Oh, yes, yes, yes. [ Clears Throat ] [ Barking ]
