Well, we... we really
need you on the road.
That's the backbone
of the whole operation really.
I'll be honest, Jim.
You are one of our best
traveling salesmen.
I mean, I would be crazy
to take you out of the field.
Um, are you still
collecting coins?
Oh, sure.
What... what's your showpiece?
1907 Saint-gaudens
golden eagle.
Oh! Well, Herman,
I don't know anything
about coins,
but I know that that
is special.
-That is special.
-That is a treasure.
Yeah, I have never seen one
up close before.
- It's quite a coin.
- Yeah, it's a beauty.
I'll show you.
I'll go get it.
Well, maybe after dinner.
Let me go
get it later.
May I please be excused?
Huh?
May I please be excused?
Need to take Bailey out
for a walk.
Sure, honey.
Go on, do it.
Please, Bailey.
Please, Bailey, do it.
Come on.
What does he want from me?
Come on. Come on.
I really wish I knew
what he was saying.
Go! Go! Come on!
What's your problem?
Come on!
I don't know why he was so
upset, but it made me anxious.
And when I'm anxious, things
kind of move super fast.
This was a first.
I'd never seen him so happy
to clean up after me.
Yes! Found it!
It's important
it shouldn't be too sweet.
-No, it's nice. Mmm.
-See this?
-Oh.
-Now, this...
-Mm-hmm.
-...That's something
-for your eyes to feast on.
-No!
What?
There's a rat.
-What? -What?
-Right there!
-Where? No, I don't like rats.
-Where?
-Where is it? -It's okay.
-Under the table.
I love rats.
-Yeah, go get it, Bailey.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I don't see
anything. - Where?
- It's running over there.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait!
- Get that dog! Get the dog.
-Get the dog. Get the...
-Bailey!
- I don't see anything.
--Come here.
-It's right there.
-Maybe you saw smokey.
- Definitely not smokey.
- No, it wasn't smokey.
I really don't like rats.
I don't like rats.
It's more scared of you
than you are of him.
-Oh, oh!
-Come here. Come here, Bailey.
-Come here! Come here.
-Can you grab him? Grab him.
-Jim.
-Bailey! Bailey, come here!
Come here!
Wait. Please, Bailey.
- Can you grab him, Jim?
- I don't see anything.
Bailey!
Bailey, come here.
I think it's gone now.
Oh, I don't like rats!
Whoa!
Bailey!
What was that?
Herman!
Bailey, come here!
Come here! Come on!
You got him, Jim?
You got him?
Whoa!
Any chances I had
of a promotion, forget it.
Dad! Dad, stop!
-It's not his fault. It's...
-You made us look like fools!
Dad always talked so loud
when he smelled this way.
Don't punish him! My fault!
Jim, why don't we
take a moment before you...
No, from now on,
he stays out here.
He didn't do anything!
I do not want to see him.
