First Dog Page #2

Synopsis: While US president Barrett opens a school bearing his name, his inseparable dog Teddy gets lost in the commotion when a gun is fired at its master. To avoid a press scandal, the matter is kept discrete. The dog wanders off to a country orphanage, where Teddy chooses as new master Danny Milbright, a shy boy who never seems to be considered for adoption but has a strong sense of justice, impelling him to return Teddy to his master. It proves an eventful journey all the way to D.C.

Do the right thing.

Excuse me,

is this your dog?

Yeah, it is. Teddy, I told you

to wait outside.

You're going to get us

in trouble again.

Hey, that looks like

your dog.

He looks like

President Woodroffe's dog.

Just like the first dog.

I think he is.

Well, how'd you find him?

I didn't. He found me.

JUNE:

There we go.

Good night Danny.

Mrs. Angell?

Yes, dear?

What if you found something

that belonged

to someone else?

Well, then I'd return it.

It's the right thing to do,

right?

It's the right thing to do.

Did you find something

that isn't yours?

DANNY:

I think so.

Well, then, if you know who

owns it, you have to return it.

Okay. Thanks.

Good night, Danny.

The door...

Oh, I know, I know.

In, in.

In.

Go in. Go in. Go.

What are you doing up

at this hour?

I was thirsty.

Oh.

Want some milk?

That's what you need...

is a nice glass of milk.

I might have some

chocolate chip cookies.

(Dishes rattling)

Looks like I'm off to bed.

Before you go,

would you put this glass

in the dishwasher for me?

Oh, that's okay.

I think it's already full.

I think I'll just

turn it on.

No!

(Gasping)

Principal Perry called.

I know all about Teddy.

Don't I?

Now time for dancing

with the dog.

Bow, wow, wow, wow,

wow, wow, wow, wow

You say, "Jump,"

I say, "How high?"

Do this, do that,

and I try

Your every wish

is my command

Got me eating

right out of your hand

Eager to please,

yeah, that'd be me

You call the shots,

I'm on your leash

Do anything

that you ask of me

It's the doggone truth

I'm eager to please

Bow, wow, wow, wow,

wow, wow, wow, wow

There.

Oh, you like pasta, huh?

Another collarless stray

in the world, hmm?

Oh, how could anybody

give you up, hmm?

(Distant barking)

JUNE:

If you know who owns it,

you have to return it.

PRESIDENT:

So remember,

do the right thing.

Thank you.

JUNE:

You're welcome.

Teo, no meat,

just like you like it.

Here we are, movie star.

Thank you.

JUNE:

You're welcome.

Oh!

I'll get back to you later.

Visiting another planet?

Just thinking.

JUNE:

Here you go, Chris.

(Phone line ringing)

WOMAN, OVER PHONE:

The White House.

How may I direct your call?

I'd like to speak

to the president, please.

And who may I say

is calling?

My name is Danny Milbright.

And what is the purpose

or your call, young man?

Can you tell the president

I have his dog?

One moment, please.

She's getting

the president.

I'm sorry, the president's busy

at the moment.

Would you like

to leave a message?

Can you tell Mr. President

I have his dog?

Yes, dear.

I'll tell him.

Don't you need

my phone number?

Oh, yes, of course.

It's area code

661, 555-1904.
