Beethoven's Big Break Page #5

the Frizzy dognapping.

Well, he's re-hired.

I will not work

with this man.

You know what? You're

exactly right. Thank you.

You're fired!

What?

Get him out of here.

You can't do that.

Take him off the lot.

Hey, I'm a member

of the union.

You can't do that!

I have a lanyard.

This is wrong on

so many levels.

What's the dog's name?

Beethoven.

Beethoven. I like it.

You know what?

Auditions are over!

This dog is the star

of my movie.

Everybody be ready first

thing tomorrow morning.

Stanley! Wait. Wait. Wait a minute.

(STAMMERING)

Hi. Hi.

I know we're going

in a new direction and all

but the movie is

about a bichon fris.

It's in the title.

I never liked that title

as much as I love this dog.

Beethoven! I mean,

it's got a ring to it.

I like that as the title.

But it's about little Frizzy

and her little adventures.

She's French.

Not anymore.

It's about a big dog

that knocks everything down!

This dog is a superstar.

This could be my statue.

Stanley, you're talking

about re-writing

the whole film

around this dog.

Do you know how many

people would pay big money

to see what that dog

just did?

Lisa, I think

you should spend

some quality time

with the dog.

Just really get

inside his head.

See what makes him tick.

Same sets, same characters,

just put old Beethoven in there.

You're going to

make me a lot of money.

And Freddy...

Eddie.

Eddie.

You're training a star.

Use the main gate

from now on.

I love that dog!

(BARKS)

Main gate.

Sweet.

Main gate.

STANLEY:
I've got a big bonus.

PATRICIA:

In your dreams, honey.

Wow. So...

What should I

train him to do?

What?

Well, he said we

start shooting tomorrow,

so maybe I could

see a script.

Oh.

Sure, I'll get you a script.

Only my script is about a

cute, fuzzy little French dog

who brings a family together.

I have no idea

what Beethoyen is about!

Oh.

Say, I would like to thank

you for coming in here

and basically

wrecking my life.

Thank you, Lizard Guy.

Thank you.

Me? I didn't do anything.

No, your dog did.

So I'm iust gonna go home and

make myself a pot of coffee

and start writing

a new script.

It's no big deal.

Right? I'm a professional.

Who needs sleep?

Not me, that's for sure!

I don't need sleep.

Why would I need sleep?

Why on earth

would I need sleep?

All I need to do is go

re-write the entire script

from page one.

Is she crazy?

Maybe.

This is it, Bill. I'm the head animal

trainer of a major motion picture.

"Use the main gate,"

she said.

The main gate.

This could change everything.

Do you know what this means?

This means milk in your

cereal from now on, my son.

I mean, this is the big time.

I could be the animal
