The Shaggy Dog Page #4

---

no matter what happens,

that animal's goin' back

to wherever he came from.

[Dog whimpering]

Look at that. He's paper-trained.

All right, um, come here. Ow!

Oh! Aah!

[Echoing]

Ow!

- You scared him.

- Ow, he bit me.

- [Mother] Let me see.

- [Dave grunts]

[Carly] Aww. He's licking it better.

What could be more sweet?

So no hard feelings, right?

- [Pants]

- Thanks, guys.

[Josh] He licked you!

He tried to apologize!

You know what? A lick is not

considered an apology.

Well, if he doesn't have rabies,

can we take him back?

[Grunts]

- [Sighs]

- Hey.

How's your hand?

[Slurring] Uh, fine, thanks.

- What?

- Why are you talkin' like that?

I don't... [stammers]

I don't know. Huh.

So Josh's teacher called me today

at work when you didn't show.

I am so sorry about that.

He's flunking math.

You're kidding.

Josh knows he can't play football

unless he passes math.

I'll... I'll...

Don't worry, I'll... I'll...

I'll... I'll talk to him or somethin'.

She also asked if there

were any problems at home.

Yeah, that's good.

I told her that we'd

reverted to cannibalism

and that we were eating

our neighbors.

OK, great. I'd say the same thing.

What?

What happened to my husband?

Let's not exaggerate the situation.

Dave!

You were bitten tonight by a stray dog,

and the kids took the dog's side.

What does that tell you? You don't know

what's going on with your children.

You don't know

what's going on with me.

When was the last time

you said, "I love you"?

I love you.

That doesn't count.

Rebecca. Wait a minute. Rebecca, stop.

Stop for a second. Please, look.

That didn't come out right.

Turn around.

Look, sit down, sit down.

I got an idea. I got an idea.

Tomorrow night

I'm gonna come home early,

I'm gonna cook dinner for the kids,

spend some quality time with them.

You know what the next night is.

- Do you?

- Yes. It's our anniversary.

So we make reservations at Grace,

get that table

by the window that we love.

I'll sing in French,

like you know that I can't do.

You have to do more

than just talk a good game.

- You have to follow through, OK?

- Yeah.

You have to connect

with the whole family again.

[Whispering] I love you.

[Grunting] Oh.

I gotta get this.

- Ahh.

- [Grunting, sighs]

[Bicycle bell rings]

- [Beeping]

- [Sighing] Mmm.

- [Beeping]

- [Sighing] Mmm.

Honey?

Rough night's sleep?

[Sighs] No.

[Grunting, squeaking] No.

- I slept great.

- Wow.

I dreamt I chased cars all night.

- [Rebecca] Oh.

- Yeah.

Hey, you know what we should do?

We should get out today.

Get out, just go outside,

go to the... [stammers] go...

We should go to the park.

We should go to the park
