Beethoven's 4th Page #3

---

Gotta work.

Speaking of chickens...

Aah!

Get rid of him!

- Oh, hello, Bill.

- Beth!

Good to see you.

Mwah! Mwah!

Mwah.

So I suppose you're

looking for Richard.

Well, I think I might be

able to find him for you...

around here somewhere.

- So I'll do that.

- Mmm.

Why don't you, uh...

why don't you sit down?

Oh. Mmm.

Richard! Bill's here!

Richard? Richard!

Psst! Over here.

What are you doing?

He's here for the painting,

the one Beethoven ruined.

- Ow!

- So?

- So... I haven't fixed it yet.

- What?

Why? Richard!

Because I thought

he was coming next week.

Ohh! Oh, who's this?

"I don't need to write things down in a

notebook because I have a photographic memory. "

Okay, okay.

You were right.

I was wrong.

Can we discuss this later, please?

- Honey, go stall him. Stall him.

- This is not my responsibility.

What?

You said, "I want to go back to work,

spread my wings, challenge myself. "

Did I say no?

No, I said, "Okay, honey.

I'll stay home, convert the garage

into a studio, be a freelancer.

I'll cook, I'll clean,

I'll handle the kids. "

And all I ask in return...

is if I'm ever late for a deadline,

and the client shows up unexpectedly,

that you stall him while

I try to figure out what to do.

Remember?

I remember the first part. I don't

remember the "stall your boss" part.

Okay, fine. I'll beg.

Is that what you want

me to do? I'll beg.

- Richard, please.

- Please!

You stunning, sexy,

gorgeous, perfect woman!

Stall him for me!

Please.

Bill, do you want some coffee?

- Yeah, cream and sugar. Thanks!

- What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Stall him.

Melinda.

Your dog's gonna do fine.

Thanks. Come on, boy.

Why me?

Come on, girl.

Beethoven!

Hold on to him, Sara.

Hi!

Oh. What's his name?

- Beethoven.

- Stay, stay!

- Get down!

- No, no, no!

- Down.

- Good dog.

- Sit, sit, sit. Good dog.

- Beethoven!

We have our work

cut out for us, don't we?

- Do you think you could teach him to obey?

- Me?

Oh, no, my dear.

That's my husband's department.

Sergeant Rutledge.

Oh, he's a genius with dogs.

He was with the canine corps

for years.

Why, during the war,

he was...

- That'll do, Mrs. Rutledge.

- trainer...

Oh, dear.

- This is Beethoven.

- Oh?

Children would like you

to teach him...

to obey.

Mm-hmm!

Mmm.

It will be a pleasure.

More coffee, Bill?

Mmm, no, thanks.

Oh, I was so sorry to hear

about you and Susan.

We had our problems.

When's the big day

for you and Sharon?

N- Next month.

Small ceremony.

I guess you'll be hiring

a new secretary, then.

You know,

this is ridiculous.

I've got a meeting wi-with

the art director at 1:00.

- Oh.

- And I need to have that painting.
