[ Grunts ]

Hi. I'm Marley.

Some people say

I'm the world's worst dog.

[ Clatter ]

Ooh! The mailman!

[ Panting ]

[ Whimpers ]

Hey!

I saw that!

Bring that back!

[ Barks ]

[ Grunts ]

That package is ours!

It could be my new ballistic

nylon chew toy!

Oh, you better retreat,

or I'll rip a hole

in your blue Bermudas!

Hey, Marley.

[ Chuckling ]

Thanks for breaking in

my new kicks.

Dude!

That's my specialty.

[ Woman ]

Bodi.

[ Marley Narrating ]

That's my boy Bodi.

I'm hanging with him

this summer 'cause

my parents are working.

Hes cool.

I can mess up his bed.

shred his leather chew toys.

He doesn't care.

[ Whining ]

[ Chuckles ]

Bodi, it's time to go.

- Are those your new shoes?

- Uh-

[ Chuckles ]

Marley did

a little work on it.

[ Sighs ]

Bad dog, Marley.

Bodi, I told you you can't leave

your shoes lying around when

there's a puppy in the house.

I mean, when are you gonna learn

to take responsibility

for your things?

No biggie.

I can still wear them.

Oh. Good.

'Cause I'm not buying you

another pair till college.

[ Marley Narrating ]

That's his mom, Ms. Grogan.

She's a little tense.

She found out I was playing

with those doggie-sized pillows

on her coach.

and it sent her on this kick

about Bodi needing to be

more responsible.

uh! Whatever that means.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh. I see you haven't found

his leash.

Uh-

Yeah. We gotta go.

A long drive

to Grandpa's.

Grandpa?

You mean the wrinkled guy?

Okay. Let's go. Want to go

for a car ride, Marley?

[ Barks ]

Get the door.

Car ride?

Oh. Right.

Yeah!

[ Barking ]

[ Pop ]

[ Man ]

Get ready, set, go

Nothing will get

into the way

Get ready, set, go

Keep runnin'

and enjoy the day

Let nothin' get in your way

Oh. Marley.

Bodi, don't let him

climb on your face like that.

- Hey, hey, Dad.

Yeah. We're on our way.

- Are you gonna be late?

No. We're good.

My flight doesn't leave

till 4:
00.

I don't know why she has to go

to a leadership conference.

She could organize

the Super Bowl blindfolded.

Oh, Marley!

Was that you?

[ Grandpa ]

Is Bodi bringing a friend?

Oh, no, no, Dad.

Marley is John

and Jenny's new puppy.

I told you we're dog sitting

while they're on that

writing assignment.

It's a big mistake,

by the way.

[ Insect Buzzing ]

Bug.

[ Chomping ]

- Mmm. Crunchy.

- Get ready, set, go

Nothing will get

into the way

[ Doorbell Rings ]

- Hi, guys.

- Hi. Dad.

Hey, Grandpa.

Yep. It's the wrinkled guy.

Come on in.

Oh. Watch it. Marley.

Hi.

Hi.

All right.

So. here we have some

general information...

on Marley's naughty habits

that you should be aware of.

Keep in mind that he does

really like to chew

pretty much everything.

so keep your favorite things

oat of reach.

Whoo!

Hey, look at

this backyard!

And- Where is Marley?

He's right-

He was just-

[ Chuckles ]

I'll find him.

Uh-hah.

Marley?

[ Barking ]

There you are.

Hey, Bodi.

Check this out.

[ Farts ]

Ahhh! Jacuzzi!

[ Chuckles ]

Marley!

Come on.

Come on. Marley.

And make sure he gets out

and meets some of

the neighborhood kids.

[ Bodi Chuckling ]

Stop it.

You are such a troublemaker.

Mom, when you get back,

can I get my own dog?

Uh, when you prove you're

responsible enough. we can talk

about it. Why is he wet?

I'm totally responsible.

Uh-hah. You've already lost

Marley's leash, let him chew

one of your new shoes,

and I don't even want to know

why my pillows

are suddenly smelling fanny.

What if I can train Marley

by the time you get back?

Well, that would be

a miracle.

- So it's a deal?

- What?

- If I can train Marley.

- Sure.

Now you-

You be good for Grandpa.

Don't let him play

too many video games,

and, you know,

maybe you can work with him

on his follow-through.

It would be really-

I'll whip him into shape.

You just worry about

catching your flight.

Oh. Right. Okay.

Okay. Bye.

Thank you.

Okay. Bye.

Love you.

Love you too.

This is gonna be great.

We can get away with

all kinds of stuff with Grandpa.

Hes old.

I heard that.

Sorry.

Now listen up, cadets.

I may look like an old geezer,

bat I'm a decorated war hero,

and I don't take flak

from anybody.

So you toe the line,

and we'll get along just fine.

[ Marley Narrating ]

Aw. the wrinkled gay.

I was pretty little

when we met.

but I remember

he got really bent

when I gnawed on his arm.

I was teething. you know.

He hasn't changed much.

Still grumpy

and still wrinkled.

Follow me.

Who spiked

his prune juice?

Mm-hmm!

I heard that too.

[ Grandpa ]

All right. Now-

When I'm sitting in this chair

and the game is on,

the remote is mine.

Copy that.

And no dogs

on the coach.

Really?

- Right?

- [ Marley Barks ]

- This way.

- [ Whimpers ]

There's an auxiliary

toilet in here.

Come on. I'll show you

where you can store

your skateboard.

Extra drinking fountain,

check.

[ Sniffing ]

I smell leather shoe toys!

mm.

[ Sniffing ]

That smells like Spam!

I love this place.

Ooh. Ooh. Spam!

Ooh. Spam!

[ Chuckles ]

Ooh. Spam!

Now, the bedrooms

in this house are kept neat.

There it is.

And that means

the bed's made,

clothes and shoes

properly stowed.

There are some extra

towels in here.

I thought this was

supposed to be summer vacation,

not boot camp.

Did you hear that?

Yep.

[ Marley Grunting ]

I was just making a sandwich.

Do you want one?
