White Dog Page #3

Synopsis: Deprogramming a dog who kills Blacks is the ultimate challenge for an unorthodox African-American trainer. When a young Hollywood actress finds the injured stray, she nurses it back to health, not knowing it's a "White Dog" trained by a racist to attack only Blacks. Julie's appalled when the otherwise gentle, white German Shepherd breaks out, then returns from his nighttime foray dotted with human blood. Julie desperately races from trainer to trainer, advised to kill her pet, until the top Hollywood canine expert refers her to his former protégé, Keys.

before he kills somebody!

- That dog is sick!

- Then he should be cured.

Darlin', the people that made him sick

made him permanently sick!

Then they should be put to sleep,

not the dog!

Come on, Julie,

you got a four-legged time bomb!

So let's say somebody trained him to be

an attack dog. Let's just say that.

There's gotta be a place where they retrain

these dogs, and I'll find that place, that's all!

Julie, now you listen to me.

Jesus H. Christ.

Julie, that son of a b*tch

is ready to attack me right now.

He's not gonna hurt you.

Nobody can retrain him

and guarantee him 100% safe.

Nobody can do that.

You made your point, Roland.

He's my responsibility.

Goddamn it, Julie!

He could attack anybody.

Bullshit!

Nobody's gonna kill him!

I'm calling the cops,

or I'm gonna get chewed up trying.

There's gotta be somebody

who can help him.

Shana.

Can I help you?

...are you Mrs. Carruthers?

No, I'm Martine Dawson.

I'm looking for Mr. Carruthers.

Across the road. Little green house

on your left-hand side.

What? Quit.

Quit.

No can do, Mr. Driscoll.

Too risky.

Tell you what- use our panther.

He's safe,

and he knows every camera angle.

I got another call.

Noah's Ark. Carruthers speaking.

Hello, Mr. Kellogg. What do you need?

It's open! Come on in.

That's impossible.

Mr. Keys is swamped.

He's breakin' in a load of wild animals.

He's working the leopards

and jaguars for two features...

and he's taming four crazy chimps

for a movie of the week.

Sit down, honey.

Make yourself comfortable.

All I can do for you, Mr. Kellogg,

is to give you another man...

who will get our tiger to sit

on the automobile with a girl in a bikini.

And he'll see to it that she's not

bitten on her finer parts.

Weekly rate.

Well, what kind of an animal

do you want to rent?

You doin'a TVshow,

a movie or a commercial?

I tell you, we've got the smartest gorilla

in the business.

Does great documentaries.

- I've got a problem.

- You have a problem?

Let me tell you about problems.

That! That is the enemy.

Over 40 years

of training animals for the movies...

and it's come down

to putting us in storage...

for a piece of tin

with blinkin' red lights!

- Are you married?

- No.

- Any children?

- No.

When you do have them, by the time

they're 25, there won't be any animals.

Mr. Carruthers...

Did you happen to see True Grit?

Remember when Duke reached down

with his hand into that hole full of rattlers?

That's the hand that did it.

That's the hand

that helped Duke win the Oscar!

I really do have a problem.

I'm listenin'.

I'd like you to teach him...

or rather, unteach him...

something bad

that he's been taught to do.

Samuel Fuller

Samuel Michael Fuller (August 12, 1912 – October 30, 1997) was an American screenwriter, novelist, and film director known for low-budget, understated genre movies with controversial themes, often made outside the conventional studio system. Fuller wrote his first screenplay for Hats Off in 1936, and made his directorial debut with the Western I Shot Jesse James (1949). He would continue to direct several other Westerns and war thrillers throughout the 1950s. Fuller shifted from Westerns and war thrillers in the 1960s with his low-budget thriller Shock Corridor in 1963, followed by the neo-noir The Naked Kiss (1964). He was inactive in filmmaking for most of the 1970s, before writing and directing the war epic The Big Red One (1980), and the experimental White Dog (1982), whose screenplay he co-wrote with Curtis Hanson. more…
