"And what do you call this?" "Uh, well, that's a tiny, little dent, sir." " A dent?" "Yes." " Yeah." "Consequently, I will not be accepting this package." "Thank you." "Sir, the delivery company can't be held responsible for something that's obviously a pre-shipping damage." "Pre-shipping damage?" "What do you do to these boxes, eh?" "You drop them?" "Do you?" "Do you get together and kick them?" "Is that it?" "Do you get together with yourfriends," ""Oh, it's a box." "Let's kick it!" ""Let's kick again and again and again." ""Shall we kick the box?" "It's only Mr. Hudson's box." "Let's just stamp it until it's crushed!"" "Is that it?" "As I say, I will not accept this package." "Pff!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Get away from my car!" "Get away from my car!" "Get away!" "I know where you live!" "Oh, I hate that dog." "Max!" "Oh, Max, I missed you!" "Hey, Ashley." "Hi." "What kind of dog is that?" "Only the smartest dog in the world." "Yes, you are." "Yeah, whatever." "He doesn't look very smart to me." "Okay, boy, you want to show everybody how smart you are?" "Okay, shake." "What's that?" "You're tired?" "Okay." "Sorry, girls." "No shows today." "Come on." "You didn't have to leave me hanging back there, you know?" "Is it just so hard to shake hands?" "Are you mad at me?" "Good to know." "We can work on the handshake thing later, though, okay?" "Come on." "Hey!" "Ashley!" "Go, boy!" "Go!" "Go!" "Just you wait there, young lady." "Hi, Mr. Hudson." "Did you see that strange dog running by here?" "No." "I saw your dog running by here with you, without a leash again." "That's crazy, Mr. Hudson." "I've never seen that dog before in my life." "My dog is locked safe in my backyard." "Come on, Ashley." "Yourfilthy mutt was whizzing on my radials not half an hour ago." "Hmm." "I bet it was the dog." "Well, of course, it was the bloody dog!" "I just said that, didn't I?" "Oh, you mean that strange dog that looks like my dog that just ran by here?" "That dog and your dog are one and the same dog." "I want it on a leash!" "My dog is locked in my backyard, as we speak." "Come on, I'll show you now." "See?" "Secured and locked." "Well, let's just see how secured and locked it is, shall we?" "Okay." "See?" "You have to unlatch it to open it." "After you." "Just as I thought." "No dog." "That's because he's out whizzing on my valuables." "He's just taking a nap." "Max, come here, boy!" "You see?" "I know your dog is getting out, and next time, I'm going to call the pound." "You got that, sweetheart?" "Sure." "Oh, hi." "Oh, Ashley, I'm so glad I caught you here." "Hi, Ms. Knight." "Charlie." "Oh, I've got something to show you." "Okay, um, well," "I am organizing the Neighborhood Alert campaign." "Ooh." "I'm in charge of keeping the neighborhood safe, so if you see any suspicious things, you get a hold of me immediately." " Okay." " 24/7." "I never sleep." "Look." "I got my whistle." "And I'm loud, too." "All right." "It's exciting, isn't it?" " Yeah." " All right." "Well, I got to get around the neighborhood to tack all of those to the doors." "All right." "Let's go, Charlie." "Good luck, Ms. Knight." "I'll be sure to show this to my dad." "Oh, thank you, sweetheart." "Say hi to him for me." "All right, Charlie, let's go." "Oh, Mr. Hudson!" "Mr. Hudson, slow down!" "That was a close one, boy." "Not now, boy." "Hey, guys, I'm home!" "Dad's home." "Come on." "Let's go!" "Hey, Max." "What do you want, poopsicle?" " Dad's home." " And?" "And your room is disgusting." "Get out of here!" "Sisters." " Dad!" " Hey, sweetie!" "Good to see you." "You brought pizza?" "Yeah." "How long this time?" "It's just 48 hours." "Lieutenant called in sick, and they need me to run the station for a couple of days... and then right back to a regular schedule." "Course, Ms. Knight will be watching you guys." "We really need this." "You know, filling in forthe lieutenant is good for my promotion, so I need your help on this." "I cleaned the kitchen." "I couldn't do this without you." "No way." "Pizza, huh?" "'Fraid so." "That's just great." "No, it's fine." "I didn't have any plans this weekend anyway." " Zack." " You know, my friends all wanted to hang out this weekend, Dad, but, hey, I'd much rather be stuck in this house making sure my little sister doesn't accidentally kill herself." "That's enough, Zack." " You got that right." "Okay." "All right, listen up, guys." "This isn't anybody's idea of a really fun weekend, but this is the weekend we got." "Okay?" "And I'm sorry about yourfriends, but let's face it, guys, this is more important." "We're family." "What's left of one." "Look, I'm sorry, Dad, but can my friends at least come over here?" "Yeah, that should be fine." "Just don't burn the house down, okay?" "Uh, yes." "Yes, sir." "Totally." "Got it." "Scout's honor." "Ashley, if you want to have a friend ortwo over, you can, too." "Or, Dad, maybe she could spend the night at their house." "No, that's okay." "I've got lots to do around the house." "Laundry is backing up." "Ashley, don't feed Max any pizza." "You know what that does to his system." "It's okay, Dad." "Did..." "Did he just..." "Ew!" "Ew!" "That dog stinks!" "Sorry, guys." "Max, wait!" "It's okay, Max." "I still love you." "Okay, Fluff." "It's time." "Okay." "Okay." "Hey, Fluffy." "You ready?" "Come on." "It's okay." "It's okay." "I would never do anything to hurt you." "I'm going to count to three, and then I'm going to pull the trigger." "Oh, look." "I'm done." "See?" "Totally tricked you." "You fall forthat every time." "You do." "Every time." "Didn't even hurt, did it?" "Did it?" "See if that puts a hop in your step." "Ha!" "That's a rabbit joke." "Okay." "Fluffy?" "Fluffy, what is it?" "Are you okay?" "Okay, Fluffy!" "Fluffy, let go of my tie!" "Aah!" "Fluffy." "Are you hungry?" "Okay, all right." "Uh, all right." "Okay." "Here." "Here." "Here." "Here we go." "You want a carrot?" "Whoa!" "It's okay." "Wow." "You weigh a ton." "Here you go." "Just eat it." "Whoa, that..." "Wow." "That was impressive." "I know." "I know." "You're welcome." "You're welcome." "Mmm, oh!" "Okay, here we go." "Let's just give you a little something to wash that down with, huh?" "No, it's okay." "It's okay." "This is the blue one." "The blue's good." "Here we go." "Here we go." "It's okay." "There." "Does that feel a little better?" "Huh?" "It's all right." "It's okay." "Here we go." "Come with me." "It's okay." "Wow." "That was really disturbing." "It was my fault." "I apologize." "Turn this off, huh?" "And, um, you were very brave." "I'm very impressed." "Where did..." "Where did we go wrong?" "Right there?" "You think?" "Yeah, you're right." "Wow." "Well, you could've told me that." "Well, don't... don't talk back to me." "That was rude." "Get back in." "Okay." "Who else knows about this?" "Security tech, a few guards." "Fire them." "Consider it done." "Now, that..." "That is what I call progress." "Oh, so remember, I need your laundry by tomorrow, so I'll have time to fold it on Sunday." "If you wouldn't mind, could you at least sort it for me?" "You know, you're not Mom, Ash." "I'm not trying to be." "And you're not impressing anyone with this Little Miss Maid thing you've got going on." "In fact, I'm a little sick of it, and your dumb dog." "He's not dumb." "Oh, yeah?" "Smartest dog in the world?" "He can't even shake hands." "Ashley, come on." "Wait!" "Research." "This is Victor." "Dr. Victor, it's your boss, Sirus Caldwell." "Oh, actually, it's Dr. Lloyd." "Victor's my first name." "Your name is..." "Okay." "Now, I'm calling you in regards to the chemical compound you stumbled across the other day." "The one with the bunny?" "Uh, bunny, sir?" "The bunny you turned into a monster." "That bunny." "See, what I'm going to do is sell your little experiment to the highest military bidder." "I can see it now." "Awhole army of, I don't know, attack..." "Bunnies?" "No, not bunnies." "I want something bigger." "Well, um, you know, that would take a lot of paperwork." "You know, filings, licensing, uh, permits." "It could take months if not years." "Don't you worry your pretty little bald head about it." "In fact, I have a team picking up a new test subject as we speak." " Oh." "Uh, Mr. Caldwell, I don't think..." " Goodbye, Dr. Victor." "Yes, Natalya?" "Ourteam is out, ready to intercept new test subject." "Looking for anything particular?" "Something... bigger, but not too big." "I want something impressive." "Yes, Mr. Caldwell." "Consider it done." "Max!" "Max!" "Max?" " Dad, it's Max!" " Whoa, what's wrong?" " It's Max!" "He's gone!" " What happened?" "He didn't come to school." "He didn't come and visit me." "He's gone." "Okay." "It's okay." "Hey, we'll grab Zack, we'lljump in the truck, and we'll go find him, okay?" " Okay." " Okay." "We'll find him." "Hey, Zack, come on out, buddy!" " Let's go get him." " Okay" "Max!" "Where are you?" "Max!" "Come, boy!" "Max?" "Max?" "Max!" "Max, come home, boy!" "What's this?" "Pizza." " You want some?" " No, thank you." "Oh, come on." "It's Italian sausage." "It's really good." "You'll like it." " No, I'm good." "Really, I'm fine." " All right." "More for me then." "Hey." "Let's talk about this stuff." "The glowy green stuff?" "Let's do that thing, you know?" "That thing where you turn a bunny into a monster, but this time, let's do it with a dog." "You know, man's best friend?" "Wouldn't that be cool?" "You're crazy." "I am not crazy!" "I'm motivated." "Look, Mr. Caldwell, you can't just inject a dog." "No, I can't." "I won't." "I wouldn't." "You will." "With all due respect... that's criminal." "Criminal." "Yeah, criminal?" "Yes, maybe, from a legal, ethical, moral viewpoint." "Uh, maybe, but the way I see it, I have a chemical compound that turns critters into monsters." "You know, Doc, I'm just concerned with yourwelfare." "Me, sir?" "Well, I mean, what's going to happen when the footage from the security cameras of you turning an innocent little bunny into a monster gets leaked to the press?" "The whole world's going to hate you, and, of course, I'll have to fire you, because I can't be seen harboring an evil mad scientist." " That's a lie." " No." "That is business." "You do it." "Sorry, buddy." "Nothing's happening." "Nothing's happening." "It's not enough." "It needs another shot." "Please, Mr. Caldwell, we can stop this before it's too late." "Dr. Victor, don't stand in the way of progress." "Oh..." "Oh, yeah." "Oh, yes." "Huh?" "Aah!" "Aah!" " The serum!" " Why aren't you helping?" "Uh, I can't stand in the way of progress, Mr. Caldwell." "Knock it off!" " Aah!" " Oh!" "Aw, I needed that stuff." "Come here." "Ugh!" "Uhh!" "God, my mouth was open." " Enough." " No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" "Ha-ha-ha-ha!" "Ow-whee!" "Ohh..." "He bit your butt." "Hey, what you working on?" "Rememberthat time I lost Molly?" "Molly." "Your doll?" "Yeah?" "I looked everywhere, and I couldn't find her, but all I remember was Mom suggesting to make some "lost doll" posters." "So she sat down with me." "We made a bunch of them." "Then she helped me hang them all up and down the street on trees and telephone poles." "Ashley." "Wow." "This is amazing." "Mmm." "I never did find Molly, but just making those posters with Mom really helped, you know?" "Like I was doing something about it." "Mom would be so proud of you, just like I am." "You really miss her, don't you?" "Yeah, I do." "We don't talk about her as much anymore, do we?" "It's been four years." "Three and a half." "You know, Mom wouldn't want to see you alone forever." "Well, I'm not alone." "I got you two turkeys." "That's not what I mean." "I know what you mean." "I'm just saying... if you everwanted to go on a date..." "Zack and I would be okay with it." "Ashley, honey, where's all this coming from?" "I know it's nice to have someone who loves you, not because you're family, because you're special." "Well, you are very special to me." "Thank you." "On that note..." "Zack?" "Can you come in here, buddy?" "Okay, I'm taking off to the station." "Now, if you need anything at all, Helen is right next door." "You go to her or you give me a call." " No problem, Dad." " Okay." " Promise?" " Yeah, yeah." "It's all good." "All right." "I will take these to the guys down at the station." "Have them put them up." "Love you, Daddy." "Love you, too." "Make me proud, boy." "Hey there, poopsicle." "How you holding up?" "We have got work to do." "Okay, fine." "But afterthis, we're even." "Okay." "You head down toward the elementary school." "I'll make my way toward the high school." "Okay." "Zack?" "Zack, it's like midnight." "Good night, Zack." "Good night, Max." "I love you." "This is so good." "I'm starving." "How long were we out there?" "I don't know." "Three, four hours." "I'm going back out after lunch." "Come on, Ash." "It's my first day of total freedom, and I..." "What was that?" "It was probably nothing." "Yeah, you're right." "Call Dad?" "No." "Come on." " Well?" " Well, what?" "Well, aren't you going to go out there to look?" "Why me?" "You're the older brother." "You opened the door." "Be my guest." "Go, go, go, go, go!" " Where is it?" " I don't know." "Aah!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go, go, go!" " Aah!" " Go!" "What is it?" "Aah!" "Aah!" "What is he?" "Zack, shut up!" "You're just going to agitate it." " Oh, snap!" " Aah!" "Aah!" "What's he want?" "I don't know." "Wait." "Max?" "Max." "Oh, boy, I missed you so much." "No way." "Max?" "Is that really you, boy?" "Whoa!" "Oh, that dog stinks!" "Did you get stung by a bunch of bees or something?" "No, I bet it was toxic waste." "It's always toxic waste." "No, it's something else." "Like what?" "Like..." "I don't know." "But I do know one thing." " Max is back." " Yeah." "Whoa!" "Well, at least he'll be easy to find, right?" "Yeah." "Better hide him." "Yeah." "Dr. Victor." "Uh, Mr. Caldwell, I, uh..." "I really need to go to the restroom." "You think I could..." "Uh..." "I have an ultimatum for you, Dr. Victor." "Dr. Lloyd." "Uh, an ultimatum, sir?" "You allowed our prize test subject to escape." "Because of you, there is no breakthrough product to go to market." "Everything was destroyed in that beast's rampage, a rampage initiated by a lack of oversight." "Ergo, the responsibility is yours." "Excuse me, Mr. Caldwell, but it really wasn't my fault." " Wait." "There's more." " Oh, great." "That mutt destroyed all our computer records, the serum, and the antidote, so..." " Mm-hmm." " Here's what you're going to do." "You..." "Are going to get that dog, bring it back here, re-create the serum and the antidote..." "Antidote." "...by gene splicing his bloodwork, and then I'm going to have the dog destroyed... by you." "Why?" "What did the dog do?" "It bit my butt!" "And no one bites Sirus Caldwell's butt." "Why would we have to splice the DNA of an innocent creature just to replicate the..." "Just bring me the dog!" "You can start at the address where we found it." "My security team is at your disposal." "Oh, that won't be necessary." "Go." "Too late." "Sorry." "Well, that's new." "I should probably get that looked at." "Ahh-ha." "Wow." "Uh, hey, kid." "Um, do you happen to know where the people live who put this flyer up?" "Maybe." "Why?" "Well, I may know what happened to their dog." "What do you say, can you help me out?" " Sure." " Hey, thanks, kid, I appreciate it." "Ten bucks." "I'm sorry?" "You heard me." "Ten bucks." "Aw, come on, kid, it's just a lost dog." "You don't care." "Okay." "Heh." "You take credit cards?" "All right, they're all canceled anyway." "Look, all I have is a twenty, so I'm just..." "That'll work." "Okay, go around the corner, down to Maple, make a right." "It's the second-to-last house on the left-hand side at the end of the street." "Thanks, Rockefeller." "Good luck with that twenty." "Don't spend it all in one place." "Cute kid." "Aw, come on!" "Sorry, kid... sort of." "Max, stop it!" "Oh, you got to be kidding me." "Hey, guys, Max is missing." "Keep an eye out, will you?" "Thanks." "It's Dad!" "Max, let go!" "Hi, Daddy!" "Hey, honey, how's everything?" "Ashley, help me!" "Yeah, everything's fine, normal, peachy." "Max show up yet?" " Aah!" " Grab him!" "Ashley, what's going on?" "Uh, Mr. Hudson's cat got into our backyard, so we're just trying to catch it." "Mr. Hudson has a cat?" "Uh, yeah, Dad, I totally thought that you knew that." "And we're just trying to catch him, because, you know, I'm totally allergic to cats." "Ah-choo!" "Ah-choo!" "Right." "Ashley, I need you now!" "I'm coming!" "Get that cat out and be careful." "I handed out flyers at the station, so all eyes are out on Max." "Uh, yes, okay, Dad." "I love you!" "Thanks!" "Bye!" "Love you... too." "I'm coming!" "Come on, boy." "Come on." "I've got yourfavorite treats." "Would you like them?" "It tastes good." "I'd pourthat food quick if I were you." "You'd better leave the bag." "Good night, Max." "So now what?" "Now we figure out how to get him back to normal." "And how exactly do we do that?" "Jeez, I don't know, Zack." "I figure we just call up Dr. Frankenstein and set up an appointment." "Are you serious?" "You got any better ideas?" "Ashley, Ashley, Ashley." "Hmm?" "Neighborhood Alert." "This is Helen." "Mm-hmm, okay." "My God." "What-what area are you in?" "Yes, yes, all right!" "I'm on it!" "I'll be right there!" "Neighborhood Alert." "This is Helen." "Yes." "No, I'm on it." "Well, that's kind of close." "That's next door!" "Oh, my!" "All right, thank you very much!" "Bye!" "Okay, honey, Mommy has to go to work now." "There's some stuff going on out here, and I've got to make sure that everybody knows about it." "And I've got to keep them safe, so what I need for you to do is I need for you to not answerthe..." "Yes, Neighborhood Alert!" "I'm on it!" "I'm right there, yes!" "I need for you to keep safe..." "And not answerthe door, all right?" "Please, take yourfinger out of your mouth." "Okay?" "You're going to get buck teeth, and Mommy loves you so much, yes." "Okay, move!" "# And I know, I know #" "# This feeling's too strong #" "It's that pesky dog again, isn't it?" "Where are you?" "I know you're out there." "Oh, yes, I do." "Where are you?" "Come on, little puppy." "Aah!" "My beautiful car." "Come on, you miserable mutt." "Monty's got a blistering solo for you." "Aah!" "What was that?" "Max!" "Come on." "Let's go!" "Aah-aah!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Uh..." "Neighborhood Alert!" "Neighborhood Alert!" "Mr. Hudson?" "Mr. Hudson!" "Are you all right?" "Mr. Hudson!" "Oh, my God." "Ohh!" "Oh, are you all right?" "My car." "Do you see my car?" " What?" "What happened?" " Monster licked my face." "Kids!" "Kids, kids, kids, kids!" "Children, what are you doing out here with crime running rampant?" "You need to get back home where it's safe." "Charlie, quick!" "Go call 911." "Now!" "Go!" "Children, get out of here quick!" "All right, go home where it's safe!" "Go!" "Come on, Ashley, let's go." " Ahh!" "Oh!" " Mr. Hudson?" "Look, don't worry about a thing." "Oh!" "Ow!" "You stall Monty and Helen." "I'll round up you know who." "Oh, okay, wait, wait, wait." "Get him inside without him being seen." " Okay." " Okay." "I know exactly what to do, so don't worry about a thing." "You look horrible, but I am going to take care if it all." "All right?" "Don't get up!" "Oh, my gosh, no." "What happened to yourface?" "Max?" "Come here, boy!" "Max?" "Hey, boy, we've got to get you inside, okay?" "Okay, go inside." "I got a treat!" "Help!" "Ash!" "Ash, guess what?" "Dad's out there, and he's with the fire crew." "Let's move." "You be good, all right?" "No barking." "Got it?" "Never mind." "Come on, let's go." "Officer." "Officer, I'm glad you're here, young man." "I wish to report a felony." "There, uh..." "There is a beast." "A giant, size of a car, licked my face." "Licked me right across the face." "You wouldn't believe it." "Sir, uh, have you been drinking tonight?" "Have I been drink..." "Of course, I haven't been drinking, you idiot!" "Do I look like I've been drinking?" "Would I be lying here if I'd been drinking, eh?" "Who do you think you are, prancing along up here with your... with your... with your uniform and your badge and your gun, asking good members of the community if they've been drinking?" "No, I have not been bloody drinking!" "I just wanted to let you know what's going on here." "I am in charge of the Neighborhood Alert." "In fact, I'm the one who called you and wanted to make sure that you got here immediately, because there's something crazy going on, and I don't know what it is." "And I used to want to be a police officer, but, my God, I'm a single parent!" "How could I possibly do that, right?" " What's up, guys?" " Hey, Dad!" "Hi, Dad!" " Uh, nothing, nothing." " Nothing." "Nothing much, uh, but things are getting really crazy out here." "Yeah." "Did you hear Mr. Hudson was attacked by this huge fur... fur..." "He wasn't actually attacked." "He just saw something that scared him." "Right?" "Yeah, uh-huh." "So, uh, Dad, is Mr. Hudson going to be okay?" "Yeah, he's going to be fine." "How do you know about Mr. Hudson?" "Well, um..." "Ms. Knight told us when she checked in on us." "Didn't she?" "Yeah, yeah." "She did." "She most certainly did." "Oh." "Well, I think you guys should come with me and stay in the station tonight." "No!" "No!" "We can't do that, 'cause in there..." " It's, uh..." " I and she... and I in the house." " Yeah." " Yeah, uh-huh." "Okay, just stay inside, okay?" "And lock up." "Call me if there's anything suspicious." "I'm sure it's nothing, but just to be safe, lock it up." " Okay." " See you, Dad." "Uh, love you!" "Bye!" "Yeah, I love you." "This is going to be a long night." "Hey, Mark, what do you think?" "I think this guy's a goof." "You think you can have one of your guys stick around for us tonight just in case?" " Okay, you got it." " Thanks." "Okay." "Ahh!" "Oh!" "Mmm!" "Uh, you..." "Ooh." "Can I help you?" "Good morning, ma'am." " Morning." "I represent Out Of This World Vacuums." " Perhaps you've heard of us." " No, I haven't." " Ohh!" " Aah!" "Neverfear." "Allow me to demonstrate." "This amazing Out Of This World Vacuum can clean up any amount of dirt you can possib..." "Ugh." "Mister, it's going to take more than a vacuum to clean up this mess!" "Ashley, I need you now!" "Coming!" "Look, thanks, but no thanks." "No, I'd just like to show you something really..." "Oh!" "Ooomph!" "I hate cats!" "Oh!" "Ahh!" "Okay." "Uh!" "Ah!" "Uh!" "Ahh!" "Oh, no." "No." "No." "Really?" "Aah!" "Ha ha!" "I'm in!" "No!" "Yah!" "Yah!" "No!" "No!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Oh!" "Oh, that's extremely painful!" "Oww!" "Uh-huh." "Yes, Mr. Caldwell." "How goes the hunt, Dr. Victor?" "Oh, you know, I'm working in it!" "I don't want you working on it!" "I want you finishing it!" "Now!" "I want that dog here, now, or something bad is going to happen to you." "Or maybe something bad is going to happen... to Fluffy." "You wouldn't." "Ooh!" "I would." "Aaaahh!" "Ow!" "What are you doing here?" "Uh, I'm the pool guy?" "I don't think so." "No." "Ha!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Ow!" "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Hey, kid!" "Help me out here a little bit, please?" " 10 bucks." " 10 bucks?" "I already gave you a 20." "True." " Oh!" "Oh!" "Ohh!" " Ahh!" "All right, fine." " Hey, Mom!" " What, honey?" "Honey, Mommy's working." "Please." "Make it later, okay?" " You're a mean lady!" " No!" "No, no!" "You come back!" "Hey!" "Uhhh!" "Thanks, kid!" "Next." "Paper, plastic, or dump truck?" "Wow, you guys must have a lot of dogs." "Nope, just one big one." "And, boy, is he hungry." "I mean, this dog is, like, really hungry." " Ugh!" " Let's go." "They got the super-size pooper scoopers back there." "You're going to need it." "Okay." "Here we go." "Aah!" "This thing is heavy!" "Well, don't make me do all the work." "Help!" "Pull!" "Come on, pull." "Hurry up!" "Can't you see he's hungry?" "When isn't he hungry?" "Whoa!" "We... are in so much trouble." "No, Zack, not if we can figure out a way to undo whatever it is Max got himself into." "Well, that sounds great." "Do you have a magic wand or something?" "No." "But maybe I found someone who does." "We need to move on this." "Way ahead of you... as usual." "How are we supposed to get that to the vet's office without someone noticing?" "Slow, down, Ash." "His tail keeps whacking me in the face." "You're starting to sound like a crybaby." "Hello?" "Mr. Caldwell?" "Mr. Caldwell?" "Where's the dog?" "Uh, I couldn't find him." "Really?" "Yes, sir." "Uh, listen, the reason I'm here is to tell you that I quit." "What you're doing here is wrong, and I..." "I don't want to be a part of it." "Not a part of it?" "Buddy... you created it." "And now it, and you, are going to make me... rich!" "Well... "er"!" "Oh, and, uh, thanks forfinding the dog." "I didn't find the dog." "Be-bah be-bah, no lies, no lies." "My security was following you all day." "They're actually moving in right now to collect my little prize." "Oh, and, Dr. Victor... you can't quit... because you're fired." "Bye-bye." "It's okay, Max." "It's going to be all right." " Hi, kids." " Hi." "I'm Dr. Tawni Martinez." "What you got there?" "Uh, maybe you should let me do that." "Dos mo!" "This is my dog, Max." "I'm Ashley." "This is my brother, Zack." " Hi." " Hi." "It's like an undiscovered species." "No, he's just a mutt." "Honest." "Ay-yi-yi." "TAWNl:" "His breath." "So this is your dog." "But he didn't always look like this." "Something happened to him." "Can you help us?" "He was such a cute dog." "I mean, you are a cute dog." "Sorry, Max." "Well, uh..." "I will need to keep him here, of course, while I run a few tests and examine him." "Oh, ho." "Don't worry." "Nothing serious, m pequerio monstruo." "I promise I'll do everything I can to help." "Anything to get my old dog back." "Okay." " Well, let's bring him in." " Okay." "Come on." "Come on, Max." "It's okay, babies." "This is Señor Max, and we are all going to make him feel welcome aren't we, hmm?" "This is my dog, Lady." "Guess what, Lady?" "We have a guest." "Hmm, I don't think I have a cage big enough for you, Max." "Dr. Martinez is going to help you." "And I'm sure Lady won't mind the company, will you, Lady?" "You see?" "It's going to be fine." "I think she likes him." "Lady's special." "So is Max." "Well, then I would say it's a match made in... somewhere, right?" "TAWNl:" "Don't worry." "He'll be fine." "Come by tomorrow, and, hopefully, I will know something by then." "Thank you." "Thanks." "You okay?" "Yeah." "I'm just worried about Max." "Oh." "You know, you don't have to keep on helping me." "We've been even since the flyers." "Yeah, I know." "But I guess this is sort of what older brothers do fortheir little sisters, you know?" "After all, we are family." "Right?" "That's right." "You don't need to worry, little sis." "Everything's going to be fine," "I promise." "You again?" "Listen, we're not interested, okay?" "I've got a whole lot of stuff I'm dealing with right now, mister." "I know." "You know?" "You know what?" "What do you know?" "I know about your dog." "What happened to him." "Look, um... it was my fault." "I work for a company called Envigormax, and they kidnapped your dog and forced me to inject him with a serum." "Things just got kind of out of hand, and I..." "I didn't stop things when I should have." "Look, the good news is I can help." "I can restore him." "Please?" "What am I talking about?" "I wouldn't trust me, either." "Look, um..." "I'm going to leave you my number, okay?" "So if you change your mind, you call me." "I'm really sorry... about everything." "Please help us." "I have never seen anything like this." "Max, you are a regular phenomenon." "And I need to get something to eat." "You two behave now, okay?" "I'll be back to finish up." "I have a feeling it's going to be a long night." "Look what fell out of the ugly tree." "Nighty-night." "It's not good to go to bed angry." "Pfft." "What's going on here?" "Uh, monster rescue." "I'm going to place him in nice home, cutest little laboratory." "All the latest accommodations." "He has a home, and that is where he is going." "Now get out." "My pleasure." "Consider it done." "I just hope I'm not too late." "Hurry!" "Mean lady." "Where are you taking those children?" "Uh..." "An evil corporation kidnapped their dog, gave it a serum, turned it into a monster mutt, now I'm taking them back to my lab to give it another serum to turn it back into a normal dog?" "Well, why didn't you say so?" " Well, we thought we'd sound crazy." " Monster mutt, oh, my gosh." "That must have been scary, huh?" "The dog was like a monster?" " Twice the size of something..." " I don't think so!" "Kidnapper!" "Get out of here!" "Kidnapper!" "You kidnapper!" " Ow!" "That one connected." " Get out of here!" "Watch Alert!" "Unh!" "You!" "Mrs. Knight, he's really trying to help us!" "Oh, I'll bet he just told you to say that, didn't he?" "No!" "Really, he's our Uncle Gilroy." "Yeah, he's our..." "Uncle Gilroy." "Um, we're just trying to find their dog." "What's its name?" "Max." "Hmm." "You have beautiful eyes, by the way." "Seatbelts." "Uncle Gilroy?" "I'm sorry." "It was all I could think of." "Okay, here's the plan." "We're going to go inside, we'll sneak Max out the back here, we'll take him to my laboratory," "I'll give him the serum, and you'll have your dog back." " Okay." " Okay." " Max!" " No, Ashley!" "Wait, you can't go in there!" "Max is in there!" "And all those other animals." "Okay, okay, all right." "Calm, calm." "We're all calm, we're all calm." "Are we calm?" "Are we calm?" "Yes, we're calm." "Okay, here." "Take the phone, okay?" "Call 911." "Go back to the car, call 911." "Call 911." "Call 911." "That's what we do." "Okay, let's..." "Hey, wait, Victor!" "The cages are in the back." "Thanks, Zack." "Go, go, go!" "All right, Ashley, let's go." "Oh!" "Whoa!" "Um... okay, who's first?" "Here you go." "Got you." "It's okay." "Just stay calm." "Stay calm." "Go." "Run, little buddy!" "Go!" "It's okay." "It's okay." "Go." "It's all right!" "It's all right!" "Rat." "Rat, rat, rat, rat, rat!" "Run for your life!" "Okay, okay, I got you." "I got you." "Here we go." "Where's Max?" "And Dr. Martinez?" "I couldn't find them." " Hey!" " Dad!" "What are you guys doing here?" "We brought Max to the vet's office." "He needed help." " You found Max?" " Yeah, Dad!" "But something happened to him." "Hey, sir, is there anyone left in that building?" "I don't know." "There was a lot of smoke." "I got most of the animals, though, I think." "Max and Dr. Martinez, they might still be in there." "Dad, you got to go get them!" "You guys stay here, okay?" " Okay." " Careful, Daddy!" "Are you okay?" " Take a breath." " The animals." "You're okay." "Breathe deep." "They're all out." "You feel all right?" " Here." " Thank you." "What happened here today?" "Where's Max?" "There was a woman, and, uh... she said she was taking him to his new home, and everything went black." "Are you saying that Max has been kidnapped?" "Forthe second time." "I know where he is." " Wait!" " Wait!" "We're coming with you." "Now, look, it's too dangerous, okay?" "I gotta do this alone." " Sir, sir." " I need to leave here." " You've been in a fire." " I have to go." "I really have to go." "You don't understand." "Let me explain it to you." "Oh, look, a turtle, you should pick that up." "Can I get you some more water?" "I'm good, really." "Thanks again." "I better check on my kids." "TAWNl:" "Kids?" "Yeah, Ashley and Zack." "Ashley and Zack are your kids?" "Yeah, yeah." "Ashley!" "Zack?" "Hey, kids?" "Ow." "Ashley, be quiet." "Okay." " Oh!" "No, what are you guys doing here?" "Now I have to take you home." " No!" " No!" "No, you can't take us home!" "You'd lose too much time backtracking." "All right, just stay in the car." "I'll be right back." "Hey!" "Hey, no." "We're coming with you whether you like it or not." "Please, Uncle Gilroy." "Let's go!" "Come on." "All right, come on in." "Max!" "Max!" "Max!" "All right, Max." "Got some stuff that's going to get you back to being a normal dog." "What's up, doc?" "Ta-da!" "Oh, and I see you brought your little nerdlings with you." "So cute." "And look, you had the antidote all along." "The antidote is forthe dog and the dog only." "Yet you're going to give it to me anyhow." "I worked for your dad forten years." "He'd be ashamed of what you've done with this company." "He was a good person, who cared about people." "That was his problem." "He cared about people instead of business... or cholesterol, which is actually probably what killed him." "You know what?" "You didn't need that dog to bite you to turn you into a monster." "You already were one." "Oh, look what you did." "You turned the words around to hurt my widdle feelings." "Nice job, Shakespeare." "Now, hand overthe antidote, Dr. Victor." "The name is Dr. Lloyd." "Mmm..." "Mother." "Mmm." "Time to hurt you." "Hey!" "Victor's fine, Victor's fine, Victor's fine!" "Victor!" "Give me the antidote." "We've got it." "You just have to guess which one of us has it." "Huh?" "Go!" "Go, Ashley!" "Run!" " Aah!" "Go!" "You get back here!" "Ha ha ha!" "I don't think so." "Oh, no leaving." "All right, kid, give it to me." "Fine." " The other hand." " Oh!" "Oh..." " Huh?" " Sorry." "Ashley!" "Do it now!" " Aah!" " No!" "Rrrr!" "Now it's just you and me." " Give me the antidote." " No!" "Go!" "Go!" "Ashley, give me that." "We have to inject that thing before it kills Max." "No!" "Then there won't be any left for Max." "Well, if we don't do something now, that thing's going to kill him." "Huh?" "Thanks forthe injection, kid." "I appreciate it." "I did it for Max, not for you." "Doesn't matter." "Eitherway, I win." "Only problem is... you two little monkeys have seen way too much, so now I'm wondering, what will an overdose of monster serum do to you?" "Aaaaah!" "Oof!" "Oh, and by the way," "I'm sure the police will enjoy the security footage of you trying to give two innocent children an overdose of monster serum, and I'll be sure to tell the police that your name is..." "Victor, you did it!" "No, we did it." "Max!" "You're okay, boy." "See?" "I always knew he could shake." "Ashley, what's wrong?" "We used all the serum." "Now there's no more left for Max." "Rule number one, always have a backup." "Victor, you did it." "You're the best, Victor." "Who's a big boy?" "Who's the big boy?" "Huh?" "Want to lose about 200 pounds?" "Here we go." " Hey, Victor." " Oh, hey, guys." "How are they?" " How's who?" " You know." "No." "Who are you talking about?" "You know." "Can we see them?" " I'm just kidding." "Want to see them?" " Yes." " Come on back." " Okay." "Yay!" "TAWNl:" "I was thinking we would put the built-ins right over here." "What do you think?" "I think I'm going to be starving when I'm done with this." "How about I make us dinner at my house?" "Tonight?" "Six o'clock?" "I'll be there at five." "Hey!" "Keep it clean, you two." "Nice one, Dad." "Hey, Max." "Lady." "Oh, the puppies are so cute." " Look at this one." " Not bad, Max." "Not bad at all." "Where are the little puppies?" "Over here!" "Oh, they are the most adorable little things I've ever seen." "Good job, Max." "This one's for you." "Ahem." "Mr. Gilroy." "Yes?" "I just wanted to remind you that, um, bridge night is tonight at my home, and, well, maybe you can drop over around seven?" "Seven it is." "Or I could stop over at five to set up?" "That'd be nice." "Thank you." "Come on, Charlie." "Yah!" " Mr. Gilroy?" " It's a long story." " Hi." " Hi." "May I help you?" "Yeah, rumor has it that you all are looking for good homes for some puppies, and I was hoping I could get one for my daughter." "Oh, why, yes." "They're right overthere." "Please take your pick." "Mommy, I think I found the perfect one." "You really know how to pick 'em, don't you?" "Um..." "It's a monstrous little thing, huh?" "Yeah." "Uh..." "I'm sure he'll grow into those teeth." " Great choice" " It's getting late." "Dad, why don't I help you with this?" "Yeah, can you, uh, hold this?"
