Marley & Me Page #3

- Well, like I told you...

you gotta wait three weeks for them to

be weaned before you can bring 'em home.

- I'm not even gonna be here.

- Why?

- I'll be in Gainesville, covering that trial.

- Oh, that's right.

That's okay. It'll give me

a chance to bond with him...

- and get a head start on training 'im-

- That's true.

- Get 'im squared away before you get home.

- That's true.

- Well, how are we gonna pick one?

- Girls are 300.

Boys are 275.

Except for that little guy there.

Him you could have for 200 even.

This one? You're so sweet.

You're like a little clearance puppy.

- Hello, puppy.

- This one likes you.

Clearance Puppy likes you.

- Well, that's your guy.

- Aw.

I was gonna pick you anyway.

Don't tell anybody.

Don't tell the others.

We gotta double-time itjust a little here, honey.

- Really wish I didn't have to go.

- Are you kidding me?

It's gonna be great.

You spent eight months on this trial.

- Honestly, I'm jealous.

- Really?

Tax evasion? That's what

makes you jealous?

Well, it's sexier than speed bumps.

- Okay, you call me the minute you get him home.

- Okay. Okay.

- We also have to come up with a name for him.

- Yes. Let's brainstorm it.

I'll just call him Clearance Puppy

till you get back.

- Are you gonna be okay?

- You're worried about me with a puppy?

- I am.

- Me, John friggin' Grogan?

- I know.

- Good-bye. I love you. You look pretty.

- Thank you. I love you. Bye.

- Okay. Bye.

How ya doin' there, buddy?

Kind of a big day for you.

Let's listen to the radio.

Awkward silences.

- One love

- You like that? You like Bob Marley?

- Let's get together and

- Bob. That be a good name?

- Feel all right

- Bob. Bob. Come here, Bob. Or Robert?

When you got older.

More dignified.

- The children cryin'

- Marley?

- Sayin'give thanks and praise

- You like that.

That has a nice ring to it.

- Feel all right

- Okay. Whoa.

It's better if you ride shotgun.

- Because we don't wanna have a car crash-

- And feel all right

our first real day together.

Let them all pass all their

Dirty remarks

- Okay, come here. Come here.

- There is one question

It's a big day. You can ride over here.

Maybe it's okay today.

Just this one time.

We get pulled over, we explain-

We explain what

the circumstances are.

To save his own beliefs

One love-

- What happened?

- The Millers got robbed.

Again? Good thing I got a watchdog.

Hey, buddy. He's got some teeth.

Oh, yeah.

I'll get him some water.

You're not gonna keep him

in the backyard, are you?

I'm gonna keep him in the garage

till I get him house trained.

- Hmm.

- No, Marley, Marley, Marley. No, no.

No, no, no, no.

You've had enough food, Marley.
