this gesture right it's right there on

my list mmm mom do you think this

hairstyle makes me look older centuries

I knew it the mailman let me sign for a

registered letter

that only means you look old enough to

write at least I know how to write

well from some law firm in Wisconsin

since I've never been to Wisconsin they

can't be suing me

Chris what is it bed

it's just a letter saying that they want

me to run for governor you don't even

live in Wisconsin it's a small state

that running out of good people I don't

think he's going to tell us smart girl

then I'm not gonna vote for him hello

mom and work on her

woman in Milwaukee claims that she owns

Lassie well that's ridiculous you pull

hace out of that car wreck when she was

just a puppy in San Diego the woman some

kind of crackpot yeah well unfortunately

she's the kind of crackpot with engraved

stationery forename law firm lassies

pedigree papers

well as he's our dog of course she is

this woman claims she's got proof of

ownership and she says she's coming to

take classy well puana

blue honor yeah that's that good legal

term I'm sure we'll stop her dead in her

tracks

[Music]

I will

hi

don't tell me it's a broad

how did you get this has been going on

for two days

there's something they don't want us to

know we might as well cash in on it

first-class tickets to the mall Laser

trail pizza patio Rock City I was

whispering something Bad's going on I

see you coming and I change the subject

maybe it's not that big of a deal I mean

in school when the kids are always

whispering usually means it's somebody's

she's pregnant

mom they're going to have a baby maybe

it's a new car we're too old to have a

baby no they're not damn us

could be about God letter

remember that registered letter the

other day yeah that's another secret

stuff started and they called an uncle

Steve they give you a seven million

dollar bribe to get rid of us whatever

it is it must be happening today well

when I take a bribe I do the honorable

thing I promise that might take you to

the mall

let's go

[Music]

I'm not a lawyer but it looks like she's

right lassies hers

not yet she's

only had a little more time

you're not gonna believe this we can't

get an injunction well then forget the

lawyers will just have to talk to her

face to face she's on her way over here

right now to pick up lassie

the kids

got if I know what's going on two

hundred dollars in lawyers and battle

yet

mrs chad has no sleeping favorite she

can prove that lassie belongs to her we

can't she owns Lassie we don't but we

raised that puppy not mrs. Chadwick

we're the ones that took last three

years we've loved her and that counts or

something I mean that's what it's all

about are you right

everything you said is true I'm sure

we've got a case I mean I was with you

when you saved lassie and I'll help with

whatever it costs I'm not gonna let you

lose her now

that woman is coming here in a few

minutes she's gonna take lassie now

we're gonna have to sue to get her back

our lawyer said that if we're lucky this

case might go to trial in seven or eight

months suppose we just say no don't give

her Lassie she's coming armed with a

court order that means if we don't turn

over that dog I go to jail and pay a

fine of five hundred dollars a day each

and every day that we hold on the lassie

so in about 30 minutes this is moneybags

it's gonna drive up in her black stretch

limo and take lassie back to know walk

and there's nothing we can do about it

[Music]

I

see you heard of dad said there's

nothing we can do about it

well there is something we can do about

it

nobody's gonna take you Lassie nobody

[Music]

[Music]

oh

North I

can't let this happen Steve

just doesn't make sense I mean it's like

this woman's obsessed why would somebody

want a three year old dog they don't

even know

brother-in-law Steven McCulloch

for a minute

you came to find your dog but you found

much more you found your son

that's not the little boy that was mine

he's grown up now he's changed but I'm

sure lassie hasn't changed we had lassie

before we had Timmy who always had a

nasty in my family ever since I was a

little girl my father had a lassie my

grandfather had a Lassie there's always

been one

and D

this last see that you have is the last

of the line

how can you ask us to give up a part of

our family

it's been three years it's been longer

than that for me

d I went through some very difficult

times

and I was very lonely

but all the while I I I never stopped

looking for pasion hoping that I might

find her

finally just this year I realized that I

might have a way to find her again

now I have

I hope it's Steve will understand

[Music]

I must have by Lassie

much my last he meant to me how can she

separate will and lassie she hasn't met

well I'm very sorry but I don't think

this is my fault look I don't really

care what you think but no matter what

you're not taking lassie with you when

you go I am concerned about your son but

I have a court order well you're gonna

need more than a piece of paper lady I'd

one of my kids so why what's there to

get my cheese and we're out of here

Timmy please let me sorry not now

[Music]

your will and your

yes

the railroad man brought us back you

said he'd let it go this time I

was trying to save voici

massey

[Music]

really is new she likes you

it's almost as if she knows you

well in a way you know we are old

friends

you know my grandfather taught lassie

how to smile you put your finger behind

your left ear that's right that's right

and my father's less he could do

something that no other lassie could do

every evening

she brought him his book my father would

say lassie get my book oh

[Music]

my

that's wonderful

honey trouble is its geometry

lassie isn't perfect you know like she's

got that funny white mark down her nose

I know

last thing can be a real character she

loves my sister but sometimes Megan will

want to show off and have lassie to a

trick last he will just roll over and

stick her feet up in the air one time

she took my dad's pajama top over to the

Farrell's garage and their cat had

kittens on it

and every time she sees a creek she

plops right in opens her mouth to get a

drink she gets her belly all wet and

muddy

every time it rains she loves to roll

around in bates puddle

you don't want to hear all this oh yes

yes yes I do

maybe I don't

[Music]

I

didn't expect this

[Music]

sorry mom dad I

guess some things can't be determined by

a piece of paper

do you mean it I

mean it

[Music]

I knew you'd do the right thing

mom

[Music]

she wants to say thank you to

[Music]

you
