Beethoven's 2nd Page #4

---

on Friday. Why are we whispering?

Puppies! Oh, my gosh.

Where did you get them?

They're Beethoven's.

The lady who owned their mother

was gonna drown them.

Oh, my God.

They're all so cute!

Mom and Dad don't know yet.

We'll wait until Dad's

in a good mood.

Yeah, well, it'll have to be

a really good mood.

Hey, Mr. Newton!

All right, Jordan.

Right down the pike.

Sorry.

- Alice!

- Maybe fresh milk will help.

- Did you get the vet?

- I'm on hold.

Come on, puppy.

Please take a sip.

- It's no use.

- Yes, Doctor.

Yeah, they're very young,

and their mother's gone...

and they won't drink milk

from a bowl.

Milk replacement powder?

With an eye dropper?

Yes.

Six to eight times a day?

Our customers think of themselves

as hypersensitive people.

They think of themselves as at the mercy

of these irritating odors.

I wanna give them

something to fight back with.

When they say, "Throw in a Newton"...

I want people to think of throwing

a grenade, a missile, an atomic bomb...

Slow down.

- I think you're workin' too hard.

- Ya think so?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I know so.

I'm glad Fourth ofJuly's comin'.

We'll go someplace.

Alice, we can't go someplace.

We don't have any money.

I know.

I'm not talking about a big deal.

- I'm talkin' about a small thing.

- Alice, please.

George, just take a minute now.

Do something else. Just relax.

- Go spend time with the kids. All right?

- The kids?

Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday

mornings are gonna be trouble.

What about the other days?

On Monday and Wednesday,

I have a free period in the morning.

Em and I will do the lunch hour

feeding while Mom's at the office.

Any way you can get home

and back during recess?

Morning recess is too short.

- Afternoons we can.

- If we run.

Kids!

Shoot. Here, take this. Go on.

Kids?

- Hi, kids.

- Hi, Dad.

Did we forget

to do something?

No.

Would you like us

to do something?

No.

You're playing Monopoly! Can I be

the battleship? Can I be the banker?

Um, well...

Emily's banker.

It helps improve

my math skills.

- It does?

- And I'm the property man.

We're almost through.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Next time you're gonna play,

call me, okay?

- Okay. Sure.

- Okay?

- Bye, kids.

- Bye.

Bye.

Em, I told you not to

bring them up here.

That was close. Okay, now who wants

Tuesdays and Thursdays?

"Dear Miss Anderson...

please excuse Ryce from classes

on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday...

because she has to go to the doctor's

to get allergy shots.

yours truly,

George M. Newton."

Ah, forget her.

He likes you. He told me.

God, you can see her bra

right through her shirt.

Like totally accidental,

I'm sure.

Come on.
