"And i'm not reentering the work force, george." "You're gonna have to do this on your own." "And you will." "Somehow you'll make your fortune."

"I'm gonna walk beethoven every day." "We've divided up the dog chores so that you won't have to do anything for beethoven..." "From now on." "I see." "Is there anything else you need?" "Anything else at all?" "No, thank you." "I'm fine." "I dropped part of an egg shell in there." "Chew carefully, dad." "Okay, fine." "Great, ryce." "I'm gonna get that thing." "That leaf's mine."

"I saw you hit beethoven." "Emily, please." "Why would I hit beethoven?" "I patted him on the head." "It's possible that from a distance the child" "Liar!" "Emily!" "Oh, i'm sorry." "Everything's all right." "It's very natural the child would want to defend her dog." "Let's call an ambulance." "No, no." "I'll take care of it." "I'll take care of this myself." "I'm terribly sorry." "He's never done anything like this before." "Once an animal crosses the line and attacks a human being," "You can rest assured he'll do it again." "Of course, next time it could be one of your children." "I'm very, very sorry." "Let me help." "Mr. Newton, we have a real problem here." "The law is very clear when it comes to dealing with this." "Unless you bring the animal to my office immediately," "I'm afraid i'll be forced to press charges." "I'm, i'm so sorry." "I don't want anything to happen to beethoven." "Dad won't believe us 'cause he hates beethoven." "He's always hated beethoven." "Dad has beethoven!" "Wait, wait!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Daddy!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "My dad had to take our dog to the vet to be put down." "I hated him for it." "Now i'm doing it myself." "I know you won't believe me, but I don't wanna do this." "You understand." "It's not your fault." "Mr. Newton." "Dr. Varnick." "I know that you're doing the right thing." "I hope so." "Follow me." "Come on, come on." "How is your arm?" "Oh, it's fine, fine." "37 stitches."

"We're gonna have to charge you for a day's boarding..." "Because jimmy, who handles the lethal injections and disposals," "He doesn't work today so we're gonna have to hold the dog overnight." "Should we bill you?" "Dog killer!" "Nice dog, huh, doc?" "He's perfect for the ammo experiment." "Get everything ready." "I'll be by in the morning." "We'll do the test on him first thing." "All right." "Nice doggie, good doggie." "Okay, close the door." "I've got him." "Come on!" "Good doggie." "Come here, doggie." "Okay, I got him." "Good, good." "I got him." "Come on, doggie." "Not you!" "The dog!" "Put him in." "Okay, you got him?" "In the cage." "Get in." "Shut up!" "There." "Doc will work on him first thing in the morning..." "And then he's one dead puppy." "Can we eat?" "Yeah." "You hungry?" "Yeah." "I'm hungry." "What do you feel like?" "A chef's salad." "Did I do the wrong thing?" "I don't know, honey." "Beethoven made this house real." "He put the dents in it." "I know he slobbered and he smelled bad, but he loved us." "Even you." "I just hope your motives were pure..." "And you did this for the safety of the kids." "Because I really hate to think we sold beethoven down the river..." "For a piece of carpet or a chance to sell more air freshener." "It had nothing to do with carpet or air freshener." "You saw what he did." "I know." "But we don't know why he did it." "Maybe the vet didn't hit him, but maybe he handled him too rough or something." "Emily's really sticking to this." "Have we ever known her to attack an adult and accuse them of lying?" "No, but why would a vet say that?" "Instead of listening to some guy we've met only twice," "Maybe we should try listening to our own child." "Honey, something doesn't make sense." "Can't we talk to him?" "Oh, what do you want me to do?" "Dr. Varnick, are you sure you didn't hit our dog?" "Yes, mr." "Newton, I just remembered I did hit your dog." "Come on!" "George, it would make me feel better." "Let's just go." "I'm coming with you." "So am I." "We're all going with you." "I'm terribly sorry." "We want our dog back!" "Where's beethoven?" "Kids, let daddy handle this." "What can I do for you?" "We want our dog back!" "I'm terribly sorry." "It's too late." "The dog's been destroyed." "Dad?" "Now wait a minute." "I was told this wouldn't happen until tomorrow." "I don't believe you." "Hey, hey, hey." "Take your hands off her!" "I told you he was lying." "What the hell are you trying to pull?" "You can't come in here." "This is private property." "Beethoven?" "He's not here." "Hold it right there." "You have no right to be in here." "Out, all of you." "Where's my dog?" "I don't have to answer your questions." "You ordered that dog destroyed and it was done." "Now get out." "You hit me, i'll have you put in jail for assault and battery." "Whoa!" "Dad!" "Honey!" "That was amazing." "Dad, you were awesome." "You were really cool." "Really, I never found you more attractive." "I may need an x-ray." "He said our dog bit him." "But he didn't really." "Tell him." "There were no bite marks on his arm!" ""So what?" What do you mean?" "I'd like to file a report on you!" "What?" "They're not going to help us?" "Not this year." "Shh." "Dad?" "Look." "Dr. Varnick." "Let's follow him." "Maybe he'll lead us to beethoven." "Hold your door." "Hold your door." "Shut it." "Dad, haven't you ever followed anyone?" "Turn off your lights." "I think that's the last of it." "Start getting the dogs." "The dogs?" "Yeah!" "He said we gotta destroy all the evidence." "I'm gonna check this out." "It's 9:30." "If i'm not back in 15 minutes," "Call the police." "Don't come in after me." "Before you destroy the dogs," "Bring me the st." "Bernard for the ammo test." "Okay." "And bring me a little one for this chemical test." "Sure." "I know just the one." "Hurry up." "Latch." "Congratulations." "You're gonna be a pioneer." "Like davy crockett, right?" "Right." "Good doggie!" "Oh no!" "No, no!" "I'm saving you." "I'm saving you!" "He pushed me on the ground and I couldn't get up." "Emily, come on." "Here, ryce, take her." "Lock the doors." "If i'm not back in 15" "I'll be back." "Lock the doors." "Lock that one." "Nice doggie." "We're gonna have a field test with this new ammo." "So long." "You're a very foolish man, mr." "Newton." "You should've left well enough alone." "That was a gun!" "Daddy!" " Mom, get over here!" " There's no time!" "I don't know where." "It's a big thing, a warehouse!" "Buckle up." "You can't drive." "You don't have a license!" "We're going in!" "What are you doing?" "I don't know." "It's a" "Ted!" "Ted!" "Ya-hoo!" "Cool." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Oh, my babies!" "Are you all right?" "Beethoven!" "Beethoven!" "I love this dog." "What a good doggie!" "George!" "George!" "Oh, my god!" "Be careful!" "Is everyone alive?" "Oh, yeah." "Where were you?" "I was shopping, george!" "I called the police." "I jumped through the thing, I fell on the guys." "You're kidding?" "You let ted drive through the door!" "I didn't let him drive!" "Don't yell at me!" "I'm not yelling." "Ahh!" "Oh, I love you too." "You're free!" "You can go home!" "You're free!" "You're free!" "Go, go!" "Sic 'em, boys!" "Help!" "Get outta my way!" "Oh, my god!" "Aaah!" "Out of my way!" "Come on, harvey." "Over the fence." "Ah-ha-ha-ha!" "You thought you could get me, you feebleminded mongrels!" " Stupid, stupid doggies!" " Never!" "You'll never get me!" "Never!" "Stupid, stupid doggies." "Stupid, stupid doggies!" "Stupid, stupid" "You little mangy thing!" "And you and you, you little one!" "Never!" "Never!" "You little mangy" "What?" "The final chapter of a horror story for animal lovers..." "Concluded at county courthouse today." " Ruth walters has the details." " Animal lovers everywhere" "Hey, it's us!" "...When dr." "Varnick and two associates were indicted on 123 counts of animal abuse." "Boo!" "Hiss!" "These were scientific investigations!" "...And leading the cheers were the ring's unlikely captors," "The newton family of valley vista." "I had no choice." "Beethoven is not just some dog that wandered in off the street." "He's a member of our family and we love him very much." "Have you always been a dog lover?" "Ah" "M-m-maybe not as much as now." "Thank you." "This is ruth walters reporting from county courthouse." "Okay, guys." "Let's go to bed." "Oh, do we have to?" "It's been a long day." "You look beautiful." "Daddy, you're the best." "Good night, dad." "I love you." "Good night, sweetheart." "Say good night to daddy." "Can I stay up?" "You are up!" "Go to sleep." "Hello?" "Yeah." "Oh, ah, hold on one second." "Ryce?" "Who's calling?" "Ryce!" "Don't stay on too long?" "Okay." "Dad, who is it?" "Somebody who saw you on tv, mark something." "Mark." "Hello?" "Yeah." "No." "Really?" "Friday?" "Good night, honey." "Good night." "Sleep tight." "Good night, beethoven."
