Beethoven's 2nd

Here, Beethoven.

Here, boy.

Here's a special treat.

Here, Beethoven.

This is from all of us.

Beethoven.

I want you to have this.

Mom, we're out of toilet paper!

Here!

Come on, kids! You're gonna be late.

The thing is, the bank has got to see that what we're doing here is important.

That air fresheners do more than just freshen air.

- I'm sure that the bank's aware of it. - I'm sure they are.

If this bank manager has any imagination, he'll understand.

Ryce, breakfast! Go ahead.

- Tell me how you're gonna start. - I'm gonna say, "Mr. Bickert...

I woke up one morning a couple of months ago and I realized something."

- Didn't I have sausage? - You ate it, honey.

Honey, don't say "challenge." It's a scary word to a bank.

- Opportunity. - Ah, good. Much better.

There's a much bigger opportunity out there.

- Hi, Daddy. - Hi, honey.

- Good morning, Dad. - Good morning. Not just...

Not just to connect people's air fresheners...

- Not now, boy. We're late. - or to their truck.

Listen to this.

- Ryce, come on! - Hi, thanks for picking me up.

No.

What am I gonna wear?

Hi. Thanks for picking me up.

What do you think?

Mom, life is amazing.

I'm getting a ride to school with Michelle and Taylor Devereaux.

- Who's Taylor Devereaux? - A boy.

A boy.

Not a challenge, it's an opportunity.

Not just to connect air fresheners to a person's car or truck...

- but to connect air fresheners... - Mr. Newton!

to a person's entire life.

You call the pitch.

This is an opportunity to connect air fresheners...

to a person's car or truck.

Nooo! Ooo-ooh. Aaah!

Oh, nooo!

Aaah!

Alice, the news kid threw the paper, knocked the coffee.

- Aw, that's terrible. - I was trying to concentrate.

Now I gotta change my clothes.

- Hi. - Hi.

Michelle said you could use a ride to school.

Yeah.

- Hi. - Hi.

- I'm Taylor Devereaux. - And I'm Ryce's mom.

- And that's my dad. - Hi there.

Don't worry. I'll get Ryce to school and back safely.

Oh, I'm not worried. You're very handsome, so she can be a little late.

Thanks, Mom. Bye, Dad.

Seat belts.

What?

That's the best-looking kid I've ever seen in my life.

Oh, God.

Honey, he's just giving her a ride to school.

Why does she need a ride?

- It's a two-minute walk. - Hi, Michelle.

You used to give me a ride to school, remember?

On a bicycle.

Still, honey, you were very, very... No, you were quite a...

- Mommy, are we late yet? - Oh, God, I gotta get goin'!

- Good luck, Dad. - Thanks.

Okay. It's okay. Take it easy.

Oooh, George, honey, your socks!

Aaah! I'm late!

It's okay. Just don't cross your legs. That's easy, huh?

Beautiful.

- So, you got strawberry? - Uh-huh.

Has it got real strawberry in it?

I'll have a single cone, please. What are you gonna have, Missy?

Okay, make that two strawberries.

Let's see.

What, you know this guy? Huh? Hello? Missy?

I think she's got a date.

Uh, better make that three strawberry.

Okay, this one's on me. But next time, you're buying.

Here you go.

There ya go. How's that? Huh?

Kiss the dog good-bye, Brillo. Visiting hours are over.

Regina.

Look, what do you wanna take Missy for? You hate dogs.

- You hate all living things. - Look, this is not about animals.

It's about alimony. And since I got the court order, the dog stays with me...

until we negotiate our little divorce.

Did my lawyer tell you what I want?

Yeah, $50,000.

That's right.

If I had the 50,000, things would be different, but I don't.

- Well, then get it. - Which dog, baby?

That one. The one with the bow.

- That's a big dog. - Look, just put her in the back.

- Don't do this, Regina. - Brillo, shut up and pay up!

Come here.

Come on!

Stupid bow.

You want your dog back? Call my lawyer.

Let's go, Missy.

Move it, stupid.

When we hide that mutt where he can't see her...

the dumb slob is gonna fall apart at the seams.

That's when he pays the big bucks.

I know the type. Emotionally vulnerable. He's a real marshmallow.

Floyd?

- Do me a favor, okay? - Yes, dear.

People in California generally swallow before they start talking.

Hey. I know how to eat in California, okay?

And then we have in every gym bag...

in every locker room, in every health club in America: sports fresheners.

Here, smell this.

That smells terrible.

Old underwear, unwashed jockstrap, cheese sandwich.

- That's disgusting. - But we have a solution!

- Throw in a Newt. - Throw in a Newton! Now smell it.

I'll take your word for it.

It takes a second to settle.

We really think we have a winner here, Mr. Bickert.

We just need $45,000 to retool and get some new machinery.

And $20,000 for a TV commercial.

That's the key.

I can't authorize another loan to your company...

but I can restructure your debt...

and extend a secured demand loan to the two of you as individuals.

- What does that mean? - Your product flops, you lose your home.

Aha.

- We'll take Alex. - Jeff.

- James. - David.

Tim.

J.J.

- We'll get Darrell. - We get Brian.

We'll take Alex.

We'll takeJeff.

And you can have shorty.

No way. It's your pick. You take shorty.

Well, we'll take Heather.

- Heather, you wanna play? - Yeah.

- Can I use this? - Come on. Let's go.

You know, I've been thinkin'.

- Have you been thinkin'? - Yes.

What have you been thinkin'?

Well, I'm thinkin', "What do you think?"

- Well... - You know what I'm thinkin', hon?

If things keep going the way they are now...

we're gonna end up sellin' the house anyway.

Well...

Selling the house isn't exactly the same thing as losin' the house.

- That's a thought. - That's what I've been thinkin'.

Hon, it's tossed. It's done.

Well, thanks for the ride.

You know, I saw you up in the mountains last summer.

You have a cottage up there?

Uh... no, we just rent one for a week.

The reason I remember is because when I saw you, I had this thought.

Well, what thought?

I thought, "I wonder if she's ever been kissed?"

- I'll see you tomorrow. - Okay.

- Honey, if that's what you think. - I'll call the bank.

- Good. - You sure?

- Well... - Yeah.

Hi, honey.

It's 7:30.

I think Beethoven's got a girlfriend.

What makes you think that?

He keeps sneaking out of the house like this.

Come on!

Any sign of her?

No. I looked in the alley. I looked under the bridge.

I even looked in the new sewer pipes they're puttin' in.

I don't know where she went.

- What did you come back for? - I need a shower.

What you need is a brain transplant. Now, Floyd, go back and find the dog.

Without that dog, my divorce is worth peanuts!

Relax. We'll find the dog.

I'll put notices up. Somebody's bound to see her and bring her back.

Somebody's bound to bring her back? What year are you livin' in?

No one is gonna bring back a missing dog.

People don't do things for each other anymore.

Maybe the dog'll come back on its own! Dogs are very loyal.

No, Floyd.

Dogs are stupid. And do you have to stand that way?

Didn't my trainer teach you how to stand?

How can we have a relationship if you can't stand.

I'm gonna kill that stupid dog.

That's her. That's the dog.

Dogs don't knock, Floyd.

Who are you?

Gus, the janitor. I found your dog. She's down in the storage room.

- I think she's been sleeping there. - She has? Thank God.

Take the luggage, put it in the car, bring it out front.

We're gettin' outta here.

Puppies!

Little Beethovens.

Did you and your girlfriend have babies?

Aren't they the cutest?
