Alex & The List Page #2

Synopsis: Alex, a lovable, unassuming dog trainer is in love with a great woman - Katherine - smart, talented, from a good family. Katherine adores Alex's quirky sense of humor, honesty and capacity to listen. Having decided to pop the question, Alex is blindsided when Katherine produces a detailed list of well-thought-out "improvements" she feels will tweak Alex on their way to becoming the ideal couple. Alex instinctively rejects the suggestion that he needs to change anything. But with the threat of a new competitor, Alex decides to "do the list." Guided by a coterie of friends that include: Dave, Alex's loyal childhood buddy, best female friend Lily, her husband Michael, and their 8-year-old son, Nicky, Alex's journey has him reconsider and question his beliefs, values and world.

you inherit from childhood.

There for life.

I'm sorry.

I know he's crude.

But he looks out for me,

and I look out for him.

[chuckles softly]

[dog growling]

[barking]

[toy squeaks]

Come here, buddy.

Come here.

Use it up, buddy.

Use it up.

Use it up.

Hey.

[taps floor]

Mail?

Good boy!

Good boy. Bring it here.

Bring it here, bud.

Good boy.

Remember Katherine's brother?

Gary?

The weird guy.

He's getting married.

Maybe I could bring you.

Come on.

You ready to go to work?

[sniffs]

[whimpers]

[Alex] Does he ever

walk around like he's drunk?

Yes.

[whimpers]

Prolonged staring

where nothing distracts him?

Sometimes.

Bang his head against the wall?

Yes.

Does he eat his own feces?

Not that I'm aware of.

[dog whimpers]

Well, Gumball here,

he's experiencing anxiety.

- We're gonna find out why.

- [whimpers]

Take a deep breath.

[exhales]

We're just gonna go

in one smooth movement.

- All right.

- It's all good.

- Smooth.

- Smooth.

- Smooth.

- Smooth.

Smooth movements.

It's all good.

Just like...

Look, he's fine.

- Enzo's good. He's good.

- What if he bites me?

He's not gonna bite you. I promise you.

He's not gonna bite you.

- Okay.

- He's not gonna bite anybody.

- Promise?

- I promise you.

Let's do it.

[Alex]

Good boy.

Good boy.

Isn't that the one that bit you?

Sure is.

You never cease to amaze me.

Wanna grab an early bite?

Can't. I have a date.

- Can I come?

- [laughs]

I'm proposing

to Katherine tonight.

Oh. I hope she doesn't say no.

- I've never had anyone say yes.

- Hmm.

- [kids shouting]

- Sir!

You kid is playing

with your dog's sh*t.

You might want

to clean that up.

[dog barking]

[muted conversations]

- [slow jazz music playing]

- [waiter] Here's the appetizer menu that you wanted.

- Just let me know if you need anything.

- [man] Thank you.

[waiter] I recommend

the calamari.

So this dog...

Uh... Yeah, he, um...

Anyway, he's just... he's like

getting more and more anxious,

and I think he's gonna

have to go on

anxiety medicine

or something like that.

Oh, my God.

- Yeah.

- That's really serious.

Alex, you're the best thing

that's ever happened to me.

You take me seriously.

You listen to me.

You think I'm smart.

You make me laugh.

I thought about this.

Methodically. From my heart.

I wrote it down.

And what I'm trying to say is...

let's go the distance.

Oh, and don't take

any of this as criticism.

These are just

well-thought-out suggestions.

Think of them as observations.

Like, um, this first one.

Get teeth whitened.

Don't be embarrassed by it.

A lot of people have

this problem.

Yellow, dullish looking teeth.
