         1     INT. MINI-VAN -- DAY                                     1

               Close-up on Marty's face as he drives the mini-van with
               great concentration. Fear is in his eyes.

                                   ASHLEY
                         I am so proud of you, Marty.

                                   MARTY
                         Really?

               PULL BACK to reveal GUS, an 80 pound full-grown
               goldendoodle in the back seat between the two kids.
               Savannah (AKA "Sonny" around Family), a pre-teen, very
               articulate, very smart girl, and Walt, her bushy headed
               little brother, and bane of her existence.

                                   ASHLEY
                         You've never really fallen in love
                         with a dog have you?

               ANGLE ON Ashley's lap as she holds and strokes, LUKE, the
               "pick of the litter" pup from this litter. They purchased
               both dogs.

                                   MARTY
                         No, honestly, I haven't.

                                   ASHLEY
                         There will not be a time in your
                         life that you'll regret this, I
                         promise...

                                   SAVANNAH & WALT
                         Yeah Daddy, you'll see.



         2     INT - LIVING ROOM - FUTURE                               2

               The doodles, Gus and Luke, chewing at the laundry room
               wall, eating through the dry-wall.



        1a     INT - MINI-VAN - PRESENT                                1a

                                   ASHLEY (CONT'D)
                         You have no idea how these dogs
                         will make you feel, Marty.



         4     INT - LIVING ROOM - FUTURE                               4

               ANGLE ON Marty napping on the couch. Full grown, 80 pound,
               Luke leaps from floor and lands on Marty's mid-section.
               Marty jack-knifes off the couch and rolls off the couch and
               out of frame with a thud.



        1b     INT - MINI-VAN - PRESENT                                1b

                                   ASHLEY
                         Their loyalty, their protection,
                         they will be like guardian angels.



         6     INT - BEDROOM - FUTURE                                   6

               Gus sitting at the foot of the bed. ANGLE ON clock showing
               5:45 a.m. Gus unleashes a single abrupt loud bark. Marty
               leaps up from bed.



        1c     INT - MINI-VAN - PRESENT                                1c

                                   SAVANNAH
                         Yeah, Dad, you will love them. We
                         can teach them tricks and stuff.



         8     EXT - BACKYARD - FUTURE                                  8

               Marty and Gus outside. Marty throws a ball. Gus looks
               direction of the throw and then calmly sits on haunches,
               yawns, and then lays on his elbows and looks up at Marty
               while his snout touches the ground. Gus blinks a few times
               while staring at Marty.



        1d     INT - MINI-VAN - PRESENT                                1d

                                   WALT
                         And, Dad, since we got'd Gus when
                         he was older, we won't have to
                         teach him to potty outside.



        10     INT - BEDROOM - FUTURE                                  10

               Gus is seen facing away from camera with legs spread and in
               the piddle position. He looks back over his shoulder and
               stares Marty down as we hear the puddle filling the
               hardwood floor.

               PULL BACK reveal Marty in room with Gus in disbelief of the
               amount of liquid.

                                   WALT
                         Daddy, why doesn't he lift his leg?

               Marty looking at Walt for one beat, looks out bedroom door
               and calls out.

                                   MARTY
                         Ashley!



        11     INT - LIVING ROOM - FUTURE                              11

               Ashley holding Gus from behind from under his front legs as
               he stands on his hind legs. Seen from behind, Gus is
               urinating up over the height of his head like a fountain.
               Ashley attempts to get him to move toward the door as if
               waltzing with him.

                                   SAVANNAH & WALT
                         Daddy, Daddy, come quick, Mommy's
                         doing the Doodle Fountain again.

               Ashley and Marty posing for picture in front of the
               Christmas tree. Gus walks over and lifts his leg on the
               Christmas Tree.

                                   SAVANNAH & WALT
                         Daddy, look, he lifted his leg!

                                   MARTY
                         Won't have to potty train eh?

                                   ASHLEY
                         And I read that they are not picky
                         on what they eat, which will make
                         the dog-food cheaper.



        14     INT - LIVING ROOM - FUTURE                              14

                         Greatest Hits?

               Gus on ground, crunches into a CD-Rom. Particles of the CD
               Rom spray everywhere as crunching sounds are heard. Gus
               tears into CD-Rom outer case and paper. Picture of Sting
               can been seen as the mangling begins.

               by happily with tail wagging with red panties hanging out
               of mouth. Marty jumps up remembering-

                         And Marty, they say that if you buy
                         the right dog, that THAT dog will
                         be able to understand and actually
                         empathize with you. You know? Feel
