- Yeah. - Toss him the bai

okay

that dog couldn't give a rat's behind

about his point average, whether he's mv p.

He just loves to play the game.

I've seen a lot of players in the pros

like that guy chaney, for instance,

make the same mistake you made

if you're just out there for yourself, you lose.

It's all in here, Josh.

You gotta play from the heart.

water boy /

nice shot.

I'll take my dog back now.

- He doesn't wanna go with you. - What's the problem?

There's no problem, ms framm.

Your son's had his little fun. Now I think it's time to give me back what's rightfully mine

you know what, Mr. snively, I believe my son is right.

That dog doesn't like you. So the answer 1s no.

You don't have any choice, lady.

I got papers.

I'll see you in court.

Next case: Sn/vely versus framm.

[ Grunting I

this one of your high-profi e divorce cases?

- No, sir. Custody. - Oh, custody.

Holy Toledo, what is that dog doing in the courthouse?

That's the, uh, child, sir.

That's a pretty ugly kid.

It's a dog

- what 7? - The case is about custody of adog.

All right, I'll take it, but we have to do this seriously.

[ Will not have my courtroom turned into some kind of a circus.

Who the hell are you?

Mr. Norman f. Snively, your honor.

I'm the plaintiff

- you look like an idiot. - Why, thank you, sir.

See, I'm a clown by profession. Happy slappy's the name. Clown and the hound.

Begging your humblest pardon, I thought it might be helpful 70 your honor.

If I appeared here today in the guise most pertinent

to the cogent and unequivocal stating of my case

whatever, whatever. Y-y-you go first, clown.

Well, the fact is, your honor, that dog's my property, and I have papers to prove it.

Well, would you show them 70 me, please?

Well, actually, your honor, I-l had papers to prove it.

But that boy... That young hoo! Igan...

Because of his irresponsible and criminal activity, is responsible for what you see.

Order!

You see, sir, when I lost my dog for the first time,

it broke me up real bad.

When I lost him the second time, it darn near killed me.

Hell's bells, your honor, all I wanna do is get old biluf back

so it can be him and me together just like it always was

why? So you can abuse him some more?

That will be enough, young man.

I raised that dog from a puppy. I wouldn't harm a hair on his head!

- Bailiff, what is that 7? - The dog, your honor.

Order!

Quiet!

- It's the gavel, sir. - What? Speak up! -

- bailiff! - [Barking I - You sa/d "speak"

speak!

Will somebody please suppress that dog?

Shh!

Oh, what a day. What a day.

[ Glass thuds I now then...

Young man, have you any efvidence

that this man abused your dog?

Did you ever see him hit the dog?

Well no

then how did you know the dog was abused?

Because buddy doesn't like him. Buddy's my friend.

I know what he's feeling, so he knows what I'm feeling.

- He's telling the truth, your honor. - Who's that?

- The boy's mother. - Oh, it's all right, you may sp...

You may address the court.

When we first moved to this town,

uh, my son...

Was very unhappy.

And then he found buddy here

buddy's given him something to look forward to.

Please, please, don't take buddy away from my son.

Mrs. framm, as far as this court is concerned,

the dog is property unless you have evidence... - Your honor.

All these people here did not come here because of a piece of property.

They came here because of buddy. He's part of this town.

He's part of the team, and he's part of our family now, your honor.

Well, he's part of my family too!

He's like a son to me I

shut up!

Why not let the dog choose, your honor?

They say a dog is man's best friend.

If that's the case,

shouldn't the dog be able to choose who he wants to be friends with 7?

Who are you, barnum or Bailey?

- Arthur chaney, your honor. - Mr. chaney, do you reali/...

Arthur chaney? New York Knicks, '567?

Huh. I was at that celtics game where you did the turnaround jumper at the bufr.

I spilled beer all over my wife

- your honor. - What?

Oh, yes, yes, yes. [ Clears throat I -

- Mr. chaney. - Well, I've been thinking.

This dog's what, three, four years old.

That makes him an adult in our yfars

I say let buddy decide.

Mr. chaney, during my 40 years on the bench,

I have heard a lot of lamebrain cockamamie proposals,

but this one, I like.

Move back, everybody! Way back. Come along now. Way back.

Gentlemen, stay on your spots.

If you'll take just one single step toward that dog, you lose.

Do you understand 7?

Now, begin calling the dog.

Old blue, come to daddy.
