Marley & Me Page #2

a kid if I can't even keep a plant alive?

Well, what'd you expect, man?

You bought a house-

A house with a spare room.

What's the matter with a spare room?

It's empty, John, that's what's wrong

with it. You know what else is empty?

Her womb.

- I'm just worried thatJenny's at, like, step seven.

- What?

She's got her whole life

organized and planned out...

- according to these steps.

- Okay, that's scary.

Unbelievable.

You want my advice? Get her, like, a bird.

Or a puppy or something.

- A parakeet or something?

- Something other than you that she has to take care of.

You got a kid, you're a dad.

You're not you anymore.

- You got a dog, you're a-

- Master.

- You're still a guy.

- Still got a life.

- Exactly.

- And a dog.

Yeah, but you've stopped

her clock for a few years.

- I've never had a dog.

- There's nothin' to it. You feed 'em.

You walk 'em. You let 'em out

every now and again.

But it doesn't really matter. You're not

the one that's gonna take care of it, Jenny is.

- Sebastian!

- Yo.

Your travel's been approved.

Hit the road.

- Where you goin'?

- I'm going to Colombia.

I got a guy down there says he can

put me next to Pablo Escobar.

I'm doin' a piece-

I follow a single coca leaf from

the jungle to the streets of Miami.

That sounds like a good idea.

You gotta be careful down there-

- Gorman!

- G-Grogan.

Groden. There's a fire

in the county dump-

- Methane leak.

- Methane?

Yeah. I want two paragraphs

for the Blotter.

Methane. Woodward

and Bernstein, eat your heart out.

What kind of dog?

- You remember Caroline?

- The nurse?

She was a nursery school teacher.

I don't know.

Anyway, she had

this great dog- Daisy.

It was a Labradoodle.

Labradoodle? You mean a Labrador.

All right. Get her a Labrador.

Supposed to bejust like kids,

only easier to train.

Labradoodle? Come on.

This does not smell like an I HOP.

I know. We got a little surprise first.

- Here we go. Now, I want you to walk right here, my dear.

- Okay.

- Come on.

- Oh, God.

Okay.

- You Grogan?

- Yes.

- Expected you an hour ago.

- You're gonna like this.

Okay, step up. Sorry.

Sorry about the mess-

- And the noise and the smell.

- What's happening?

Come on.

- Can I look?

- No, no. Just-Almost. Almost.

- Okay. Okay. Ready?

- Really?

One, two, three. Go.

Happy birthday.

What?

God, they're adorable.

Oh, my- My birthday's

not for a month.

That's okay. They can't leave

for three weeks anyway.

- We didn't discuss this.

- I know, but it's a surprise. You can't.

- Hi, guys.

- Just adopted the mom last month.

Family that gave her up didn't

even know she was pregnant.

- Are you sure we're ready for this?
