Beethoven's Big Break Page #6

trainer to the stars.

I think there's something

wrong with Beethoven.

Wrong? What could be wrong?

He's going to

be a major star.

He looks sad.

Are you sad, boy?

Beethoven! Beethoven!

Hey! Hey, come back.

Dad, come on.

(STARTS ENGINE)

I gotta get that dog back.

I gotta get him back.

BILLY:
Where's he going?

Lost dog! Sorry!

Come on.

OLD LADY:
Whippersnapper.

Where did he go?

There he is. Go!

Beethoven!

What is he doing?

Why would he run away?

I thought he liked me.

We can't lose

that dog, Billy.

BILLY:
You just wanna find

him 'cause of that movie.

That dog is

our meal ticket.

(BOTH SCREAM)

This time you pay. My neck.

There he is!

Beethoven!

There he goes.

(HORN HONKING)

Hey, hey!

Beethoven!

Oh, no.

Whoa!

(LAUGHS)

Dad, we have puppies.

Wow.

This is why

Beethoven ran away.

He was bringing them food.

Are these your puppies, boy?

Maybe he's not a boy.

Nope. He's a boy, all right.

I bet he's their dad.

Where's your wife, Beethoven?

Hey, Dad, I think Beethoven's

a single dad, just like you.

Uh-uh. We are not taking in

this huge dog and three puppies.

Dad, you called Beethoven

our meal ticket.

Guess that means you have

to keep him happy, right?

Right?

Right. Right.

Okay. You win. Let's go home.

Let's all go home. For now.

Yeah!

Yeah, yeah.

Everybody's happy.

Come on, let's go. Beethoven's

gotta be on the set early tomorrow.

Hey, Dad, can Beethoven and the

puppies sleep in my bed tonight?

No. No. The puppies are in the

animal room and Beethoven's outside.

Let's get one thing straight.

Beethoven is not our pet.

He's my job.

So don't get

too attached to him

and don't get too attached

to these puppies.

(BARKING)

Oh, no.

Okay. You won this one,

but that's it.

From now on,

no more Mr. Nice Guy.

(SNORING)

EDDIE:
There it is, Beethoven.

The main gate.

Hi. I'm Eddie from...

Good morning, sir.

I know who you are.

Have a great day.

Thank you.

She knows who we are, buddy.

Wow!

Here we go.

What do you think, pal?

Hi.

I don't get it.

See, Beethoven becomes

part of the family...

What's this thing

with him shaking hands?

It's cute and funny.

Beethoven shakes George Newton's

hand, and they become friends.

I don't think that's funny.

Is that funny?

No, ma'am.

Have you ever had a dog?

Well, no, but...

I just don't think

it's funny.

It's heartwarming.

Well, let's shoot it.

But it better play, and tomorrow's

pages better be much better.

Yes, sir.

Now, go tell the dog guy

what we're gonna do.

It just doesn't

seem funny to me.

Hey, no.

Beethoven, bad.

Ooh!

I'm sorry.

He's just a little nervous.

It's his first day on a...

Now, come here.
