I've got Talia.

All right, let's do this thing.

Transfer's confirmed.

-Move in.

-That's very good.

This is the FBl.

The building is surrounded.

You're all under arrest.

I repeat, you're all under arrest.

Put your hands up.

This is the FBl!

Sonny Talia, you're under arrest.

Oh, yeah? For what? lmport, export?

Calm down, buddy.

Here's my bill of lading.

Coffee, paint, computer chips

and lawn chairs.

There's nothing in here but lawn chairs.

Hey, sweetheart, you're a beautiful girl.

If you get tired of the FBl...

...you can come and work for me

in one of my dance joints.

Bring in Agent 1 1 !

Agent 1 1 ...

...search!

What's this?

Go!

Get away from me!

Agent 1 1 !

Bleeker Street. Dog town.

Canine Alley.

No, you don't.

Come on, Spike.

Can't we do this nice, just once?

All right. You asked for it.

What do we got here? Go get the chicken.

Go get the chicken.

Psych, Spike!

Come on, Boodles.

We gotta stop meeting like this.

I'm telling you.

It costs me $20 a week in meatballs.

Let's do it again. Go get the meatball!

Where are you?

Where is that stinking dog?

Well, well, well.

What's up, Tyson? You on lock-down?

Want to get the mail?

Want to get the mailman? Come on, try!

Too fast!

Who am l? MC Hammer! You know why?

Because you can't touch this.

Not today, Tyson!

Here you are, baby.

Signed, sealed, delivered.

Thank you, Benny. I'll see you tomorrow?

Oh, yeah. And remember,

if there's anything I can do for you...

...all you have to do is raise that flag...

...and I'll come through for you, baby.

Rain, sleet or snow.

This postman always delivers.

Damn.

Oh, hey, Gordon. What's up, man?

You're looking smooth, brother.

Tyson again?

Yeah, but I'm cool.

That dog's on an all-white-meat diet.

He never did that to no brother.

-That's not funny.

-Yes, it is.

Why don't you request a different route

if he's giving you a hard time?

There's not a dog on this planet

that can scare me.

Okay, brother.

That's funny. That's hysterical.

Come on, baby. They're just jokes.

-Don't get postal on me.

-Postal? I'm not postal.

Don't even play with me like that.

You know all white people are crazy.

I'll check you back at the crib.

Hey, G. You can keep that dog, dog.

Get it, dog?

Here's some good news, Mr. Talia.

The metal ball bearing we inserted

to replace your missing appendage...

...should help you maintain

a natural appearance.

Luckily we were able

to save the other one...

...or else we'd have to put in two,

and when you walk....

It's just a little urological humor.

Sonny, let it go, please!

Listen, Sonny, it's okay.

The prosecution has

absolutely nothing on you.

You're a businessman with a valid bill

of lading for importation.

They can't prove

prior knowledge or possession.

They got no case!

I'm not worried about that right now.

What I'm worried about is this

Agent 1 1 dog. It's always this dog.

He made me lose $22 million

in the last three years.

And now he made me lose, he made me....

You know, Sonny, you only need one.

-Then give me one of yours.

-Just looking on the bright side.

-You can't do anything about the dog.

-Yes, I can.

Man's best friend. Bad dog!

I'm sorry, buddy.

Hey, baby.

Steph, someone has mailed you

a stuffed dog.

Rick, the shoot for Slick and Slimy

is down the hall.

-Gordon!

-Hey, Steph.

This isn't a good time for me right now.

I got James a little present here.

Oh, my God, that's so sweet.

All he's been talking about is dogs.

He doesn't understand

you can't have one in an apartment.

Honey, come here.

Gordon's got something for you.

What's up, little man?

Look what Uncle Gordon got you!

I'm not really your uncle,

so if I kiss your mom...

...that's okay.

Don't worry, James.

There's no chance of that happening.

Hey, pal, what do we say?

Thank you.

I like dogs.

I'm gonna keep you for a long time.

Yo, Steph. This guy's whacky.

Hello. Yeah, Daisy? Flight's at 9:00.

You waltz in here with that toy...

...thinking you can buy back

Stephanie through her son?

You're mad you didn't think of it first.

I don't have to. I'm here because

she wants a real man around the house.

Are you gonna go arrest one

and bring him home to her?

Okay, guys.

Police business. I gotta go.

I'll show you to the door.

All right, bye now. Take care.

Don't get shot.

-Out.

-What?

-Out. Now. Go.

-Come on, Steph.

You can't fight it, baby.

I'm cool.

Don't even start.

You need some handcuffs instead

of them stamps. Rick got them.

Look, G, I'm filling you, man.

Stephanie's a dime.

A dime? What's that mean?

A ten.

But she comes with carry-on.

The kid.

What's your point?

It's like you're dating Janet,

but Janet's bringing Tito.

You don't want that!

We're just friends. I'm giving

her advice on her love life.

Love life advice? She'd be better off

calling the Psychic Friends Network.

If you want to get with that mommy,

you got to be a pappy.

-Are you ready for that?

-No!

I'm cool with my current

responsibilities, thank you.

Like what?

Remembering to floss.

Feeding my fish.

And, at some point,

returning The Matrix video to Blockbuster.

A kid abandoned in a mailbox

should jump at the chance...

-...to screw up a family of his own.

-You have to bring that up?

Yeah, I have to bring that up, man!

What the--

Didn't your foster parents teach you

to respect other people's property?
