- That's totally inhuman.|- That's just the point, Josh.

He's not human.|He's a stray.

Do not get attached|to this dog, Josh. Do not !

No, I have way too much|on my plate as it is.

- I'd take care of him.|- Josh, we don't know anything|about this dog.

We have your little sister|to think about. No. The answer is no.

One week, and if nobody claims him,|he goes straight to the pound.

- Three weeks ? Two and a half ?|- Two.

- Josh !|- Christmas. That's like two weeks|and a couple days, right ?

That's perfect.|We can't dump him before Christmas.

- Please, please, please.|- All right, all right, Christmas.

But the minute after,|he's outta here.

Meanwhile, he stays outside. And if you|try to sneak him in here just once--

Mom, Mom, Mom.|I swear.

All right.|As long as we're clear.

I swear, you're gonna grow up|to be a lawyer someday.
