Don't they feed you
over there?
CLOWN 1:
Hey, lay off
the cold cream, Bingo.
Get to work.
Yes. Head up.
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.
Such a good girl.
[DOG BARKING]
What is it, babycakes?
Oh, look at this.
It's been 30 minutes.
Oh, come on, Steve,
give him a break.
Thirty minutes.
What's he doing,
digging a well?
[DOGS WHIMPERING]
MAN:
Bingo! Yo!
WOMAN 1:
Hey, Bingo, what's happening?
WOMAN 2:
Bingo, how's it going?
[GASPS]
[GRUNTS]
Lovely color. Right?
And a touch of pink.
Absolutely smashing.
And the way that
outfit sets off your eyes,
now hold still, please.
I'm not finished.
[BARKS]
[NEIGHING]
[BINGO BARKS]
You good-for-nothing,
flea-ridden, worm-carrying cyst!
Look what you've done.
[HORSE NEIGHING]
Oh, you're hopeless.
Remember this?
You want to go back in this?
In the river,
where I found you.
GINGER:
Steve.
Something's
wrong with Lauren.
[WHIMPERING]
No wonder. Look
at the size of that thing!
Tenpenny.
Has Lauren been hanging around
the swami again?
Rhamjani.
When--
when I get my hands
on that guy,
I'm going to hammer him
to that stinking bed of his.
Slow down, Steve.
Lauren will be okay.
I'll just give her something
for the infection,
and she'll be ready to go
in a couple of days.
Couple of days?
I-I-I've got
network people coming.
Program development.
They're looking for a dog-
and-pony show for prime time.
Fine, just use
two dogs and a pony.
Oh, without Lauren,
we're dead.
Steve, look.
Why not use Bingo?
[GROWLS]

through the perilous
ring of fire!
You're doing this
on purpose, huh?
[WHINING]
You hate me, don't you?
You planned it.
You wanted to humiliate me.
Come on, you scumbucket mutt.

We're losing it.

ANNOUNCER:
Uh, thank you, ladies and
gentlemen, boys and girls.
Coming right up,
the amazing Swami Rhamjani!
STEVE:
Damn dog deliberately
scuttled my act.
You're wrong, Steve.
He was afraid.
Something about that fire
scared him.
I've got the cure!
Steve, Steve, you don't
know what you're doing.
It's about time I did the world
and him a big favor.
So he's not a circus dog,
Steve. Is that a crime?
He just needs a family
that loves and cares for him.
A little boy
to play frisbee with.
Frisbee?
Yeah.
The only thing that dog's
gonna catch is a bullet.
No, run, Bingo!
Run for cover.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
No, Bingo.
Not "covers." Escape!
Run for freedom.
Do whatever
makes you happiest.
[WHINING]
Not "playful" happy.
"Fulfilling" happy.
Start a new life!
Find a family!
[STEVE GRUNTING]
No, you idiot!
Your own family!
[WHIMPERING]
You're right.
Let's kill him.

Yeah! Solid, Chickie!

CHICKIE:
Yeah, hustle! Hustle!
Wait up, guys!
BOY 2:
Yeah, all the way!
BOY 1:
Yeah!
BOY 1:
Nice move, Chickie.
BOY 3:
Come on, hustle!
All right!
CHICKIE:
Oh, yeah!
Cowabunga!
Ah!
What are you
afraid of, dorkmeier?
Nothing!
Then what are
you waiting for?
Your farts to evaporate.
Come on, guys.
He choked.
BOY 1:
Hey, Chuckie,
get some training wheels.
[BOYS LAUGHING]
[SIGHING]
[SCREAMING]
Hey, Chickie, I don't
think he's coming.
That's the point. Do you want
him hanging around all day?
He's your brother.

Come on over here.
That's it. Don't be shy.
That a girl.
[GROWLING]
Oh, a boy.
Heh, heh, sorry.
No offense.
You saved my life,
didn't you, fella?
[BARKS]
I don't know
where you came from,
but we're going
to be friends for life!
[WHINES]
Hey!
[PANTING]
Oh, you want to play.
Sorry, but I can't
right now.
I've got to get dressed,
and find something to eat.
Boy, I'm starved.
Wow, you really are something.
[ANIMAL GROWLING]
What's that?
[GROWLING]
[BINGO BARKING]
[GROWLING]
Holy shit! Sic him, Bingo!
Bingo, where are you?
[BINGO BARKING]
Bingo!
The fish. Right!
[BEAR GROWLING]
Move over, Bingo!
I'm coming up.
[BARKING]
More, Chuckie?
I mean, chicken, Chuck?
No, chicken, chick.
Chicken, Chickie. There!
Well, I'm worried, Hal.
It's not like Chuckie
to be late for dinner.
He's just
manipulating us again!
Manipulating us? How?
May I be excused?
Because he knows
we'll be worried.
Then why should I
pretend I'm not worried
if he's thinking
I'm worried anyway,
since he's not here to see me
pretending I'm not worried?
CHICKIE:
Please may I be excused?
What do you have
to make everything
so difficult for,
Natalie? He'll show up.
And if he's locked himself
inside the pet store again?
Simple.
We leave him there.
No, no, no, I will not be
sandbagged on this!
CHICKIE:
I'm done, okay?
I hate animals!
And he knows that.
Can I please go upstairs?
All right. I don't need
that attitude, okay?
I've had a very tough day.
Listen, buster,
just lay off him, okay?
He's not the one who's missed
all the field goals lately.
Oh, great, great,
huh, great.
First the coach,
now it's you!
It just doesn't
feel right.
It hasn't
since Buffalo.
Hal, Hal! For god's sake,
leave your foot on the floor
and the game in the stadium.
Right now, I'm worried
about our son.
If we don't hear
something by morning--
Morning?
I'll call the police.
There was a kid
Who had a dog
And Bingo was his name-o
B-I-N-G
Woof!
B-I-N-G
Woof!
B-I-N-G
Woof!
And Bingo was his
Woof! Woof!
[OWL HOOTING]
[BEAR GRUNTING]
Help!
I don't care
what the paper says, Hal,
that is light out there,
honest to god daylight.
I'm calling the police.
Just-- Just hold it.
Just a few more seconds.
We both agreed.
3, 2, 1. There.
7:14, sunrise.
I'll call.
Hal, Hal,
it's Chuckie, it's Chuckie!
Look, right there!
Right there! Oh.
I told you
he'd show up.
I'm gonna rip
his arms off.
No, Hal. Remember?
You said no more
negative attention.
How about one arm?

[CHUCKIE LAUGHS]
Cool it, dude.
This is no time for girls.
Besides, she's way out of your
league. Pedigreed purebred.
[BINGO GROWLING]
Shh! Keep it down,
would you?
[TOILET FLUSHING]
HAL:
Next!
NATALIE:
Chickie, that's you!
CHICKIE:
Me? No way. I followed
him yesterday.
NATALIE:
Right now!
Go!
HAL:
'Morning, son. Sleep well?
MALE ANNOUNCER:
And the broncos are
still denying rumors
that place-kicker, Hal Devlin,
is gonna be traded.
So give us a break,
will you, guys?
Somebody needs
to be quick on...
Doesn't anybody want to know
where I was?
Do I need to appear
on a milk carton first?
HAL:
Finish your breakfast, Chuckie.
I don't want you
late for school.
[COUGHING]
Take a shower first, honey.
You smell like wet dog.
[SHOWER RUNNING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
NATALIE:
Chuckie.
What?
Just getting
the dirty laundry.
About your father, sweetie,
he's having
a very hard time right now.
CHUCKIE:
Tell me about it.
Regardless, it's
important that you know
how much he and I love you.
Can you keep a secret?
We were really
worried about you, honey.
That's off the record. I'll
deny it if you tell him.
But it's true.
Thanks, Mom.
[GROWLING]
Sweetie?
Yes?
Wash extra good
under those arms, okay?
Uh-huh.
[CHUCKIE HUMMING "BINGO"]
[HORN HONKS]
Hey, mom, did you
get my bike?

It's in the car, honey.

Where are you, Bingo?
[WHISTLING]
[BINGO BARKS]
Bingo!
Woof!
Don't you ever do
that to me again!
[WHIMPERS]
I'm sorry. I just...
I never want to lose
you, okay? Promise me.
Hey, everybody, I'm ho--
Something got
into my cold cream.
And something chewed
my citizenship award.
And something
soiled our driveway.
What are you guys saying?
That I'm hiding a...
dog or something?
Bingo.
CHICKIE:
Give it up, Chuckie.
'Cause we're
going to find it.
When we do--
All right!
That's enough, son.
I'll do the threatening
around here.
Just...
go to your room
and pack your bags.
Pack? Don't you think
you're overreacting a little?
Right now,
young man, okay?
Go on.
CHICKIE:
What about this bronco hat?
NATALIE:
Aw, chuck it, Chickie.
HAL:
Now, if it's orange and blue,
I never want
to see it again. Okay?
We've been traded
again, haven't we?
That's right. We leave first
thing in the morning.
Chickie, just toss those in here
with the rest of the stuff.
Green Bay! I knew it! Talk
about quick on the trigger.
Okay, let's not have
any of--
That will be just about enough!
Ow! You stepped on the foot!
Your dad needs
our support.
I'm sorry, Hal.
Not our criticism.
Now go upstairs and pack.
HAL:
It's not an injury, it's okay.
Sorry!
Don't step on the foot, Natalie.
Well, you shouldn't leave it
lying around like that.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
Screw 'em.
Don't worry, fella,
you're comin' with me.

Arrivederci, Rover.
So, there was a dog, huh?
Yes, there was a dog.
Now stop the damn car!

Okay, let me see you

Uh, you seem like

[BARKING]
NATALIE:
Honey, I had something
in mind besides stadium food.
HAL:
Truckers always know
the best spots to eat.
You guys are going to try
some good, old-fashioned
roadside cuisine
before it disappears forever.
Two American dogs.
All right.
One polish-style dog.
A Chinese dog for the lady.
You want soy sauce on that, hon?
No, thank you.
That's quite a selection,
huh, guys?
I have to take a leak.
"May I be excused?"
The boy has a bladder
the size of a walnut.
I haven't gone once.
He hasn't gone, have you?
Not once.
That's what he says.
Have you gone?
No.

Oh, so it wasn't blessed

So what? In France,
you know, they eat horses.
And venison,
that has kind of
a gamy taste, too.
Oh, it's nothing a little
mustard can't fix.

Getting a little
goosy, aren't you, Lennie?
Can you blame me?
Okay, okay.
Club him, and
let's get some sleep.
Club him? He's not a harp seal.
What's the matter with you?
Didn't you have a dog
when you were a kid?
What's next? Save the whales?
It wouldn't hurt you to sign a
petition every once in a while.
What for? We're felons!
We can't vote!
That doesn't mean we can't
contribute in other ways.
I bet you're hungry,
huh, guy?
Woof!
He's smart, too, huh.
Woof, woof! Ha-ha-ha.
What's smart about waking up
the whole damn countryside?
Come on, we'll get
you some chow, okay?

Don't mind Eli.
His bark's worse
than his bite.
That's okay. That's okay.
Hup!
Hup, ho!
ALL:
Yeah!
Yeah.
Three points for the big guy!
Once again.
Once again, yeah.
Where have you been?
It's your turn to snap.
CHICKIE:
I know. He's been
leaving a piss trail
for that stupid dog of his.
CHUCKIE: Bite my boxers!
Chuckie.
Suck my socks.
NATALIE: Chickie.
Could we get on
with the practice, please?
NATALIE:
Yes, dear, yes.
Come on.
I want you to put
that dog out of your mind.
Forget about him. Put him
totally out of your mind!
He doesn't have a mind.
Peed his brains out.
Hey, you should talk.
That dog is smarter than you.
In fact, he's smarter
than this whole family.
I've heard quite
enough from you.
I'm trying to
concentrate.
All right.
You figure it out. How far do
you think we've traveled by now?
Sixty miles an hour,
times 8, times 2,
minus 42 for lunch.
Okay, hundreds of miles.
So what?
So, pee-pee all you want,
but no dog can
track you that distance.
Hike, already.
Ugh!
NATALIE:
Oh, my God!
HAL:
Hell, Natalie, that's
a 60-yarder. Come on!
[ELI LAUGHING]
Minnesota's looking hot.
Oh, no, not again.
Wait a second,
we could double our take,
if you let me put it on the
Vikings against this spread.
That's what you
said last time,
and we had to pull another
job just to break even.
Which is why this
is perfect. It squares us.
It's a 4-point
spread, Lennie.
Nope.
On the night that we find
a dog with 4 legs.
No.
This is a lucky dog, Len!
Do what you want with your cut,
but leave me out of it.
Ah!
Velveeta.
Hey!
Hey, I was going
to use that for nachos.
Ha. Nachos?
You need chips for nachos.
You got any chips, lady?
[WHINES]
That's okay.
Don't worry, folks.
We'll be gone
right after breakfast.
Forget the nachos.
Let's turn in.

FEMALE REPORTER:
...to end this terrible ordeal.
And the Thompson family
credits this remarkable dog
with saving their lives.
What are your plans
now, Mr. Thompson?
We still have a few
days vacation left,
but we're going back to
dog-proof our house so we can
give this little fellow
the best home he's ever had.
FEMALE REPORTER:
And there you have it,
live from the scene.
two ruthless
armored-car thieves
who had taken
this nice family hostage,
are now in custody,
thanks to the extraordinary
efforts of one brave dog.

What have you

You mean Cuddles.
You can call him what you want,
but his name's Eugene.
Cuddles.
Eugene.
Cuddles.

Not again! You know how he
hates playing baby.
He's my dog, too, and you

And do you swear

DEFENSE ATTORNEY:
Your honor, I object.
This is a court
of law, not a kennel.
Overruled! Didn't you ever have
a dog when you were a kid?
Proceed.
Thank you, your honor.
Were you present on the night
the Thompson camper was hijacked
by two ruthless armored-car
thieves who held
the family captive until
the following morning?
[BARKING]
And are those two thieves
present in this courtroom?
[BARKING]
Would you identify
them for us, please?

DEFENSE ATTORNEY:
That is not a legal point!

JUDGE:
Order!
[GAVEL TAPPING]
JUDGE: Order!
No further questions,
your honor.
The prosecution rests.
The dog may be excused.
Your honor, just a moment.
I would like to cross-examine
this witness.
Get back up there, fleabag.
JUDGE:
The court would like
to remind the witness
that he is still under oath.
Your honor, could we have
the court reporter
read back
the dog's testimony
in response to his whereabouts
on the day in question?
Ahem, ahem.
[BARKING]
Very well.
Now can you tell the court
where you were
during the armored-car robbery
earlier that day?
Objection, your honor.
Irrelevant.
Where are you headed
with this, counselor?
Your honor, I have witnesses
that can testify to seeing
this dog near a garbage can,
just before the robbery.
And I would like to introduce
exhibits Q and R.
A fecal sample
and a paw print...
that will substantiate that he
was at the scene of the crime.
PROSECUTOR:
Now wait just a minute.
Isn't it true
that you were the one
who robbed
the federal armored car?
And didn't you subsequently
frame my clients
in a clever scheme
to earn yourself
wealth, respect,
and a room of your own?
Objection, your honor, the
witness is not on trial here.
Your honor, now, unless this
witness can provide an alibi
as to his whereabouts during
the armored-car robbery
he should be bound over
until contrary evidence
can be brought forth!
This is absurd.
You introduced the witness
in the first place.
I think we ought to hear
what he has to say.
Please answer the question.
Do you have an alibi?
[GROWLING]
Don't answer that.
You have rights.
Answer, or I'll throw you
in the slammer for contempt.
What's the matter?
Cat got your tongue?

You pay them. You understand?
You pay them.
He's our son, for God's

What?
Don't make any field goals

Detroit. Whatever, Hal.
They're serious. Please!
You call
the police and you--
No, I can't do that.
What? Tough to hear.
I can't call police. They said
not to call the police, Hal.
Can-- Say again, please.
They said no police.
They're serious, Hal!
How can you be sure?
Because a dog dropped off
some of Chuckie's clothes.
They've got a dog
working for them?
Apparently.
What the--
Chickie's out trying
to track him down now.
Oh, Hal,
what are we going to do?
I got to go!

Chuckie's our son, Hal.

What are--
What are you doing?
First thing's first.
And with the score
tied, the Lions call
a time-out with 34 seconds

apparently want Devlin to think
a bit more about his kick.
Devlin! For you.
Again?

This is Sheriff Clay

Now can you tell the court
where you were

that can testify to seeing
this dog near a garbage can,

that will substantiate that he
was at the scene of the crime.

witness is not on trial here.
Your honor, now, unless this
witness can provide an alibi

he should be bound over

Devlin!
For you.
Yeah. What? I--
I-I told you never to call me
here. What are you doing?
Hal, they've
got Chuckie.
HAL:
What? Who's got Chuckie?
Kidnappers.
Kidnappers, they said
that if we want to see
him alive again, we--
You pay them. You understand?
You pay them.
He's our son, for God's
sake, we'll pay anything.
NATALIE:
It's not exactly
that kind of ransom.
They uh, they want you to miss
all your field goals.
What?
Don't make any field goals
against the Tigers.
The lions.
Detroit. Whatever, Hal.
They're serious. Please!
You call
the police and you--
No, I can't do that.
What? Tough to hear.
I can't call police. They said
not to call the police, Hal.
Can-- Say again, please.
They said no police.
They're serious, Hal!
How can you be sure?
Because a dog dropped off
some of Chuckie's clothes.
They've got a dog
working for them?
Apparently.
What the--
Chickie's out trying
to track him down now.
Oh, Hal,
what are we going to do?
I got to go!
Look, just do what
you think is best.
It's probably just
a whole, stinking--
Chuckie's our son, Hal.
Look, I got to go.
There you are.
Everything okay,
Devlin?
Oh, yes, sir.
Just, uh, a little, uh,
little pep talk from the wife.
That's the ticket!
Yeah.
[ALL YELLING]
Hey coach,
you got a minute?
Tell me, what's more important
to you? Family or football?
Are you kidding?
Football's my life!

And with less than a minute
to go in the 3rd quarter,
Devlin will try
a 32-yard field goal
that could put
the Packers ahead.

is up, and it is wide!
Oh, hell!

And so, the Packers
go to Devlin again.
This time, it's a chip shot
from 22 yards out.
His 3rd attempt
of the day.
The Packer fans
have got to be wondering
what's wrong with their
field-goal ace, Gar.
And there it is, Mel.
The kick is up, it is--
Mom,
I found him!
Shh, shh, shh!
Long enough.
Wide left!
Yes! Yes, Hal, yes!
Oh, God!
Mother! I found Chuckie!
Oh, my God, where?
He's in an old warehouse! We've

Oh, no, I can't do that.
I can't call the police.

the clock with 4 minutes left.
Detroit's gonna
have to hold here...

Oh, go on!
Come on, Bingo.
Almost there.
But hold on, the Packers

Nobody'll get hurt.
[LAUGHING]
Yeah?
Make sure Devlin
misses this field goal,
and we won't
toast the kid!
...to keep his head clear. But,
with stakes this high, Gar,
even the most seasoned veteran
gets cotton mouth and...
I'll think about it!
Think about it? What's to think
about? What about my son?
Dispatch. Patch me through to
the Silverdome. Major emergency.
What are--
What are you doing?
First thing's first.
And with the score
tied, the Lions call
a time-out with 34 seconds
remaining. The Lions
apparently want Devlin to think
a bit more about his kick.
Devlin! For you.
Again?
Yeah?
This is Sheriff Clay
from Green Bay.
We got your boy, everything's
okay. So go out there
and nail this field goal
for Chuckie.
Give me that.
You bet!
Thank you, Sheriff.
