"What's going on here?" "We're wasting film." "Cut£¬ Dad." "Cut." "Shamsky's owner showed up today." "I had to give him back." "No." "He was such a sweet dog." "You gave him back?" "What about the $200 we just spent to have him fixed?" "Hi." "Hi." "Here he is." "Where's the lady?" "She's putting on some makeup." "She wants to look nice for Baron." "How'd it go over there?" "It was great." "I went there£¬ he was playing with the dog£¬ and I said£¬ ¡°Hey£¬ Robert.¡±" "And then I reached into his chest and pulled his heart out." "Ray£¬ what happened over there?" "What do you mean?" "I told you." "This is not the same dog anymore." "What are you talking about?" "Of course it's the same dog." "Look closely£¬ Ray." "Yeah." "The other end." "Doesn't he look a little lighter to you?" "Ray£¬ he's been fixed." "Get out of here." "Come on£¬ are you sure?" "Yeah." "Maybe he's a little chilly." "No." "Shy?" "No." "He wasn't always like that?" "Trust me£¬ he wasn't." "How do you know?" "Because I noticed." "You noticed?" "What are you noticing that for?" "I didn't notice." "Ray£¬ you don't notice when I get a new pair of earrings... and those are hanging off my face." "I would notice if your ears were missing." "God£¡" "Those maniacs." "Ray£¬ what were they doing over there?" "Oh£¬ my God." "It was probably my mother's idea." "This is sort of a hobby of hers." "Baron£¬ let me look at you£¡" "We are so happy for you." "We are happy." "Thank you." "I won't take up any more of your time." "Thank you so much for all you've done." "You don't know what it's like to be separated... from something you treasure so much." "I'm sure Baron feels the same way." "I just thought I'd bring his toys by." "Isn't that sweet?" "Say thank you£¬ Baron." "Baron?" "well£¬ goodbye now." "And thanks again." "AII right." "Maybe she won't notice." "Debra£¬ the woman breeds dogs." "The subject's gonna come up sooner or later." "AII right£¬ look£¡ I don't know who did it." "I don't care who did it." "AII I know is that my dog is ruined and someone's gotta pay." "PhyIIis£¬ we'II try to explain." "I don't want explanations." "I want cash." "This dog is worthless now." "worthless?" "He's still a delightful companion." "Companion£¬ my ass." "He was good for one thing£¬ and now he's broken." "Don't talk about him like that." "Look£¬ I'd Iike to buy the dog from you." "Okay?" "For my brother." "No£¬ you don't have to." "No." "I want to do this£¬ Robert£¬ okay?" "This is for both Shamskys." "It's the least I can do." "How much will you take for him?" "$2£¬000." "hello."
