All right class, turn in your assignments.
Did you do your homework, Denis?

My dog ate it?

My dog ate it.

My dog ate it.

If that woman doesn't stop shooting
off her gun I'm going to shoot her.

- I'm going to miss my train.
- You should have gotten up earlier.

I've got a deployment today.
I may be home late.

I've got a deployment today.
I may be home late.

As long as your home in time
to deal with your mother.

(on radio) From NBR in Washington

The national unemployment rate
continues to hold steady...

according to a government report.

According to a government report.

Can I get six, seven breakfast tacos?
Do they all come with egg?

- Anything you want.
- One of the guys in the office is vegetarian.

-We have bean.
-Do vegetarians eat egg?
-Some do, some don't.

-We have bean.
-Do vegetarians eat egg?
-Some do, some don't.

I'll take 3, no 4 potato and
egg, 2 egg and bacon...

and 2 bean. No wait, Marty doesn't
like bacon. Make that one without.

4 potato, 2 bacon, 2 bean?
- And with egg.

4 potato and egg...

1 bacon and egg, 1 egg without bacon...

2 bean... Do you want egg on the bean?
- Just bean. Oh, and an egg with cheese.

9 tacos. $13.86.

Hey.

Big day today. I brought reinforcements.

I have something for you in my office.

Milosz has been working on
tonight's party all week.

We're grilling steaks. You don't need
to bring anything. Swimsuit optional.

I'm not gonna make it, Denis.
Could you close the door?

I thought you were going to be on my
volleyball team. We nailed them last time.

Denis, we've got a situation...

I worked out the interface problem.
Figured it out last night.

- We needed it yesterday.
- The deadline is today.

The client called over an hour ago.

- Denis, where were you?
- Milosz turned off the alarm.

What could I do?

- This just isn't going to work out.
- What do you mean?

Things have changed here in the office.

I didn't miss the deadline.

No, but you're not keeping
up with the workforce.

- I'm getting the job done.
- It takes you twice as long.

I'll have the deployment finished today.

- Diane is taking over the project at this point.
- What?

I've already done all the work.
It's almost ready to go.

This isn't a good fit for you anymore.

What do you want me to work on instead?

Why don't you take some time to
look at your long range goals.

Take Milosz on a vacation. When was
the last time you took a cruise?

I have vacation scheduled next month.

I'll be sure to add all your
vacation into your package.

- My package?
- God, Denis...

Don't be dense.

You're terminated. I need you to
fill out some paperwork for me.

I'm fired? Marty?

What am I supposed to do?

Albert, come here.

Go away. Shoo.

I'll handle this.

(laughter)

(on radio) From NBR News in Washington

I'm Julie Taylor, despite economic
showing an end to the recession...

workers 45 and older continue
to be out of work...

and are falling into a new class
of terminally unemployed.

Analysts say those who find work are less likely to be
hired at wages comparable to their previous employment.

Hey. You finished work early.

- You could say that.
- Take that out to the pool.

Hi Mom.

- There's my desk jockey. Get your platform launched?
- Deployed.

- Whatever you call it.
- Your mother is a trip. When is she going home again?

- I can stay up for a while.
- Keep your shorts on. She's going home soon.

- How'd it go at work?
- Not good.

- What happened?
- I was canned.

- Why didn't you tell me??
- You were busy.

- You were fired?
- I don't think our neighbor heard you.
-What did Marty say?

- Came from above. Nothing he can do about it.
- That's what's happening in this global economy.

Pretty soon will be out of a job.

- They can hire college kids cheaper. It was a cost thing.
- Talk to his boss.

- It's a done deal.
- The problem with your generation

is that you don't have to fight for
everything. Everything is handed to you.

And the problem with your generation
is you think your experience

is the same as ours. You
worked and made decent money.

- We got screwed.
- Somebody getting screwed?
- Not till she goes home.

I still think you should go
back Monday and talk to him.

What does it matter? The decision is final.

You guys have it so easy. Try
holding a full time job and...

raise children at the same time.
- Milosz doesn't want children.

- Maybe you're not doing it right.
- Maybe we're just not doing it.

If you had children you wouldn't
have time to think about your life.

I never did. Who has time to think

when you're trying to change diapers.
At least get a dog.

- I didn't know you were into diaper play.
- Time to go home, Mom.

- I can stay up a while.
- No really, Mom. Time to turn in.

Alright, I know you boys want to play.
I leave it to you.

-Thanks Mom. You're the best.

I'm gonna leave the baskets here. Will
you bring them next week to the house?

- You okay?
- Yeah. I just got up too quickly. Use protection.

We have lots of sunscreen.

That's not what I mean.

Good night.

Are you sure you can drive home?

Why do you do that?

To help the environment.

60 seconds of your plasma burns more
energy than this thing does in a year.

Every kilowatt counts.

What are you going to do now?

Beats me.

We don't have to stay here.
We could sell and move.

The economy sucks everywhere.
- We could move to Durango.

-And do what? Albuquerque?

-And do what? Albuquerque?

Ugly. Chama?

Ugly. And we can't afford it.

We could always go to LA.
You could get a job there.

How could I afford for us to live in LA.
Even if we sold this place

we couldn't afford a downpayment.
- We could grow our own food.

You can't grow a tomato. It's
not the end of the world.

I still home bring home the bacon.

So this is about ME not
having an outside job.

- You know I support your writing efforts.
- Blogging.

- Blogging.
- Not that supportive.

Don't walk out in the middle of
a conversation. I hate that.

- You're toasted.
- I'm trying to talk to you.

It won't matter.

You're gonna do what
you're gonna do anyway.

It's like living with a Buddhist.

I have no idea what's going on with you.

I'm talking to you now.

When's the last time we had sex?

You're not interested.

Valentines.

I've been in that bed every night since.

So this is about sex.

No.

This is about you...

not being interested. Forget it.

- You're tired.
- No. Let's get it out.

I don't think we should say anything...

we might regret later.

I'm going to bed.

- Good night.
- Good night.

(gunshot)

- I'm gonna get a paper.
- Paper?

-To look for jobs.

It's been a while since you've looked
for jobs. It's all online now.

Well, I'll be back.

- I'm looking for a dog.
- We picked up 2 this morning.

- What's it look like?
- I'm not sure. I was thinking a small dog.

- You don't know what it looks like?
- Can I see a few before I decide?

Oh. I thought you lost one.

We got a bunch to choose from.

I don't know what kind of dog I want.
I used to have a beagle.

- What breed is that?
- Mutt.

Is that bad?

Well some think it is,
others think it's better.

Do you think it might be a beagle?

- Mostly mutt.
- Looks like a beagle.

Well there's probably some
beagle involved in the past.

I haven't had a dog since I was a kid.
It was a beagle.

This is a good dog.

I better think about it.

Don't think too long.

It's time to play "Pick Your Doggie."

Dog ♪1? Dog ♪2?

Dog ♪3?

Or what's behind the door?

I'm not sure.

Which will it be? ♪1, ♪2, ♪3?

I'm not sure.

Time is running out. Make your decision.

This is your last chance.

Jesus! No, that's not at you.

It's my nutso neighbor
shooting her gun again.

She's a paramilitary bulldyke.

Any war is a good war as long
as she can watch it on TV.

We're just here because of Denis' mom.

He wanted to be near here,
like a good Mama's boy.

But I'm the one who talks
to her all the time.

After she dies, we're
getting out of this heat.

She's too feisty to die. I'll probably
get shot by the gun freak next door.

Denis is home. I gotta go.
See you tomorrow.

- Wear yourself out?
- It was good.

I sent your mom a birthday card.

Oh, I should have done that.

Man, you reek. Go take a shower.

- Have you seen the paintbrush.
- I haven't moved it.

- What are you doing?
- Building a dog house.

- Is Mary getting a dog?
- I was thinking we could.

We don't have the money for a dog.

It's not that much.

Are you coming?

No, I've got stuff to do.

This is important. We've got to show them

they can't get away this.

You don't need me.

Have a nice day. See you tonight.

Bye.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for the right brush.

- What will you be painting?
- A dog house.

- This one will work.
- What about this one?

- That will work, too.
- But you think this one is better?

You could use a roller. It would go faster.

I hadn't thought about that.

- Hey.
- Hey.

This is really great.

Excuse me. Where's the
dog I was looking at?

- Which one?
- The beagle.

Oh. It's not here anymore.

Was it adopted?

-No.
- Where is it?
- It's not here.

Did it get loose?

- Noooo.
- I'm here to adopt it.

Sir,

we had to put the dog down.
- What do you mean?

- That was my dog.
- You should have adopted it when you came in.

I wasn't sure then. I'm sure now.

- I'm gonna take it home.
- Sir, the dog's been euthanized.

I was just looking at it.

- It was in this cage.
- We needed the cage. We pick up a lot of puppies.

But that was my dog.

I'm sorry, sir.

You killed it? What was wrong with it?

I told you: We needed the cage.

But that was going to be my dog.

Well you know the world keeps on spinning.

You're gonna get it!

I'm home.

Hi.

How's your day?

Fine.

How's your dog house coming?

Meet anyone?

Yes.

They killed the dog I was going to adopt. I went back
to the pound to get my dog and they euthanized it.

Wow.

That's what happens when you take so long

to figure out what you want.
Something dies.

(phone rings)

Hi Mom.

(on phone) How's the dog search?
- Fine.
(on phone) How's the job search?

- First one is tomorrow, but I don't know.
- What?

I'm not sure I want to work for this company. Do I want
to do the same thing I've been doing all these years?

Or should I branch out.
(on phone) Don't ask me these things.

I'm terrible with these decisions.
What does Milosz think?

He's wrapped up with his protest stuff.

- I hate for you to make a bad decision.
- I know. I'm just not sure.

It's a tough market.

Not with my skills. I'll probably
get hired with the first interview.

I have a Masters in computer
technology and 19 years experience.

I enjoy working alone in a quiet
environment. You won't need to train me.

I'm a late night person. I studied
a lot of this in college.

I'm sure I could figure it out.
I'm a real team player.

Big offices are where I do best.
Could I get some training for that?

- Is this a pyramid scheme?
- No!

It's an investment opportunity.

I'm sure I can find my high school diploma.

I don't think you're qualified.

Besides, you're like really old.
You'd be like my Dad working here.

Creep me out.

- You're lucky getting fired.
- Right.

I hate driving into town everyday.
Spending too much money on lousy lunches.

Fighting the traffic back home.

I don't have time do anything. You've got
your whole day to do whatever you want.

Whatever I want? I don't know what that is.

If my boss gave me the ax, I'd start
my own business. Work from home.

The money's in consulting now.

I could work in my underwear if I wanted
because nobody would be watching.

That's not a bad idea....

-I've got it.
- You've got what?
- Do we have any sign board?

- There's some in the garage.
- This is the best thing that could have happened to me.

I'm got to consult.
With who?

- Not who. What.
- Okay, so what?

Other businesses. I don't know why I
didn't think of this a long time ago.

Aren't there a lot of other
business consultants in the city?

That's why this is so good.
I'll be doing it from home.

No more commuting. And we'll
get to see each other more.

That would be good.

- If it works.
- Of course it will.

I'm an expert with this.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Do you think we should paint the house?

Why would we paint the house?

Feng shui colors maybe. It couldn't hurt.

Just put red flowers out in front.
It's the same thing.

How are your parents doing?

They're fine.

Didn't you say they're
going back to Poland?

At the end of the summer.

We should go.

I'd love to meet your relatives.

I'd rather visit my
father's side in Palermo.

Italy would be good.

Why don't you ask your
mom to buy us tickets.

I should ask her.

Okay.

- Would it be better to go in early fall or should we wait till Christmas.
- Look, I gotta finish this.

Yeah, okay. I got stuff to do anyway.

(gunshot)

(phone rings)

Hi Mom.

- I'm in the middle of paying bills.
- If you come up short let me know.

I've got it covered.

Don't feel ashamed to ask.

Bingo! I have bingo!

Uh Mom, I gotta go. Milosz is calling me.

Denis this is my second bingo tonight!

Hello?

Not so easy to work from home, is it?

I can't believe no one has called.

It just takes time.

This is stupid. I shouldn't be doing this.

It's what you said you wanted to do.

I don't know what I want to do. Okay?

(bangs vacuum on floor)

Are you gonna get up?

Can you let me sleep another five minutes?

Denis, you've been in bed for 12 hours.

- I'm tired.
- Yeah, well...

I gotta vacuum.

All right! All right!

- Couldn't that wait?
- Till when? Till you get another job?

I live here, too, you know.
This is also my house.

Good. Then you vacuum.

- That's not our deal.
- You're right.

Our deal was that you make the
money and I clean the house.

Well now I'm bringing in the money.
So you can help clean the house.

Fine. You want me to vacuum? I'll vacuum.

Want me to dust? I'll dust.

Why do we have all this shit?

What the fuck are you doing?

- You want me to do the dishes?
- Not if you're going to break them.

I can if I want to. I
can do anything I want.

I worked 20 fucking years to pay
for all this crap. I paid for it.

I worked like a fucking dog for those
people who treated me like shit.

20 years. And all I've got for it is this?

Now that I'm home all the time

you act like I'm in the way.
Well get over it.

- I'm the reason you're here.
- I don't act like you're in my way.

Yes you do. The way you smirk at me

when I go to the fridge. The way
you scowl when I'm on the phone.

Yeah all right, Mr. I Am An Expert.

You're a pain in the ass.

I get half as much done around here with you
hanging around all the time. Messing things up.

Asking me what I'm doing. Coming
with ideas about painting the house

and going on trips to Europe.

And that whole thing about
building a dog house.

You are so scattered you don't
know what you're doing.

Why don't you figure out what the
fuck you're gonna do and do it.

- Which one is next?
- What?

- Which dog are you going to kill next?
- Calm down, partner.

- This is the way it is.
- Whichever dog you're killing next I want to adopt.

We don't ever want to put an animal down
but we can't keep them indefinitely.

You can't just kill them. That's against
animal cruelty laws or something.

Letting them breed like
rabbits is animal cruelty.

We get stuck with the litters. At
least we can place the puppies.

But these dogs are too old to be adopted.

- I'll take this one.
- You'll need to fill out paperwork.

What's going to happen to the other dog?

Next time someone reports a stray dog

we'll need to use this space.

- What's going to happen to this dog?
- We'll need the space.

I'll take it, too.

- 2 dogs?
- Yes, both.

(phone rings) Hey, I got a surprise.

Your mom is in the emergency room.

What happened?

- Did she break anything?
- The doctor still has to look at the xray.

- But I don't think so.
- Why is she here?
- She displayed symptoms of stroke.

- Good. You've come to take me home.
- How are you doing, Mom?

This is ridiculous. I'm fine. I don't
understand why they brought me...

here to begin with. - They want to
test to see if you had a stroke.

Am I drooling? Do I look
like I've had a stroke?

- Let's get out of here.
- Let them a couple tests.

This is just a lot of nonsense to
collect insurance money. I'm fine.

Look at me. I asked you to
take the baskets to the house.

It's not like I can really use them here.

- I couldn't leave them in the car.
- Oh goodness! Where did you get them?

The pound.

You said I should get a dog.

Oh goodness. What is your name?

- I haven't named them yet.
- No, no, no. You don't want to go back into that basket.

- Do you? No you don't.
- Mom, you might have another stroke.

I did not have a stroke.
I just fell down because

- I probably didn't have enough breakfast.
- They're going to make sure.

You're just as cute as you can be.
Do I look like an old woman?

- It's not an age thing.
- There's your daddy.

But you like your grandma
better, don't you.

Take a picture. Get your cellphone.

Take a picture with Grandma!

Come here.

Look at your daddy.

You're so cute.

- There's a party in here.
- I was at the pound when I got the call

and I rushed over. I couldn't
leave them in the car.

- It's against regulations.
- I know. I'll take them back right now.

- No, they stay. I'm the patient, right?

And I'm supposed to be feeling better.
I'm feeling better already,

so the dogs stay. - Your blood pressure
is lower than when you came in.

Don't let the doctor see it.

Thank you. So you can take them
home when you take me home.

I'm afraid you'll be here overnight.
- But I'm fine, really.

The doctor is keeping you for observation.

You might have had an attack, not
a stroke but the same symptoms.

- See I told you: I didn't have a stroke.
- We don't know that for sure yet.

If you want to stay a
while longer that's fine.

Mom!
- Hello, Milosz!

Look, both of you are making
such a big deal out of this.

I came as soon as I could. Are these yours?

They're ours. I adopted them.

- You got two dogs?
- I had to get them.

They were going to be put down.
- Can you keep them in the garage?

- These are lap dogs.
- These are dogs on drugs.

I wanted them.

Another one of your projects. And in 2 months
who is going to be taking care of them?

The consulting hasn't worked out.

So it's only been a few weeks. They say
it takes years for a business to succeed.

You are under a great deal of stress.

- And you're not helping.
- I'm trying.

Bringing dogs into the house

Well it couldn't hurt. I saved their lives.

Good morning.

How are you? I'm gonna
take your blood pressure.

Hey, Mom.

- Oh good. You're here to take me home?
- I have to ask the doctor.
-What do they know?

I saw her for 2 minutes this morning.

She barely looked at me. She had a
flock of interns following her around.

To think they're the doctors of our future!

They probably couldn't get a
bandaid out of a paper wrapper.

I'd get better care in
a third world country.

Next time you blackout we'll
airlift you to Ethiopia.

I didn't blackout. I just fell.
Where are my grandchildren?

- You don't have grandchildren.
- Bring them to me.

- This attack made you delusional.
- You know what I'm talking about.

- I can't.
- Do you think I'm going to lay around in the hospital all day

and not see my grandchildren?

Family visits often help patients recover.

- See?
- It's against the rules.
- You didn't get rid of them did you?

- You didn't give them away?
- No!

- I didn't give them away.
- Go get them.

- Mom, I have a job interview this afternoon.
- Oh good. Then they can stay with me.

I'm not supposed to.

Do something nice for your mother for once.

Oh please.

Come on. We're running late.

Into the basket. Be a good dog.

We're running late!

Here we go.

We're going to visit Grandma.

There you go.

Here's a treat for you.

Let's go visit....

Congratulations, Denis!

- You got the job!
- You're the company liaison with our clients.

The 'go to' guy. The public
face of our company.

- I just have to meet 2 more people.
- Who do you need to meet with?

It's just 2 other candidates.
It's just a formality.

If I've already got the job, why
do you need to interview them?

Well, Denis, I gotta cross the 't's.

- I'll let you know by the end of the week.
- Thanks!

Denis?

Do you have dogs by any chance?

Yeah. Just picked them up at the pound.
Should have done it a long time ago.

That's terrific.

He's a little fire hydrant.

He just can't control himself. That's all.

He's my little fire plug.

You're my little fire plug!

I got it!

- You got it?
- He said I'll be the company representative...

at all their client meetings.
- When do you start?
- He's sending me the details.

- So is it a cut in pay?
- This is better than my last job.

The pay is a small cut, but in
time I'll be up for a raise.

And the annual bonus will
make a big difference.

Mom, it's 100 degrees out.

Yes, but it will be winter and we
don't want his binkie to get cold.

Mom, they're dogs. They can take it.

Don't say that in front
of my grandchildren.

- Aren't you taking it a little far?
- We should get a picture. Use your cellphone.

Ready?

She pays more attention
to the dogs than me.

I know the feeling.

No, tell me how you really feel.

How was your day today, Milosz? How
it was great. Thanks for asking.

What did you do? Not much.
Just organize a massive

political rally on the capitol
steps, got interviewed by the Times,

did the laundry, cleaned
up after Fireplug, twice.

Picked up your mother and the dogs
at the hospital. Brought them here.

Entertained them till you got home, late.

Oh and the water pitcher shattered because
our psycho neighbor did a 21 gun salute...

and I dropped it.
- I had big news.

And I'm happy for youl

I really am.

But in your revelry can
you just take a moment

to pay attention to me.

Can we talk about something other than
Peak Oil or environmental doom and gloom?

- I do not talk about doom and gloom.
- Yes, you do.

Every conversation leads
back to some conspiracy

about the end of the world. We're
running out. Okay we get it.

Everybody gets it. We may not
talk about every waking minute.

But we know.

Shit. What the fuck?

What is it?

I don't fucking believe this.
I didn't get the job.

He told me I had it. We
had a handshake deal.

"Thank you for meeting with me. We're
going in a different direction."

That's corporate America.

What am I going to tell Mom?

- That you didn't get the job.
- She's gonna go nuts.

She didn't care so much when
you told her you got it.

I don't think she's gonna get excited
when you tell her you don't.

She'll make a big deal about it. Like
all the other mistakes I've made.

You didn't make a mistake.
They hired someone else.

Getting this place....

leaving state to go to
college, buying that car....

Getting these dogs is
probably the first thing

that she thinks I did right.

Huh.

It's my life. Not her's. She likes the
dogs so much, she can get her own dogs.

- We're not open to the public right now.
- I'm here to adopt another dog.

- Come back tomorrow.
- What are you doing with that dog?

They give each other diseases
if the cages get overcrowded.

- I can't keep the pens clean as it is.
- I'll take it.

- What's wrong with that?
Other than being old, nothing.

We have 3 other dogs no one wants.
- I'll take them.

All 4.

(gunshot)

- I've got a surprise for you.
- What?

- You're gonna love this.
- What is it?

Surprise!

- Where did all these dogs come from?
- The pound.

- You're not going to adopt all these.
- No.

- Because we got them for you.
- For me?

What am I gonna do with all these dogs?

You loved ours so much.

Well I loved yours so much
because they were yours.

- I didn't have to feed them.
- You have the giant yard. They love your place.

I... don't... have...

- Are you okay?
- Mom?

She's having an attack.

I need an ambulance.

- Have you found out anything yet?
- The doctor will come in and talk with you.

How long till she comes out of it?

She had a blood clot
causing severe blockage.

It's too early to know.
Can I get you a chair?

No, I'll just sit right here.

I did this to her.

This was my fault.

You didn't do anything to her.

She had a stroke.

She could have had it when she
was home and no one was around.

At least the paramedics
got to her when they did.

She's gonna be fine.

I shouldn't have gotten her the dogs.

She loves those dogs.

It was a funny joke. You
really got me going.

I thought you were serious.

- When do you have to take them back?
- They aren't going back.

We can't afford to keep those dogs.

- What do you want me to do with them?
- It doesn't matter.

What are you doing?

-Which one? Which one can't we afford?

- You can't.
- Why not? I take them back the pound they'll them. They'll all of them.

Stop it.
- Which one?

They can stay.

For now.

- I'm going back to the hospital.
- Good. I'll fix us something to eat.

- You have time to take a shower.
- I don't want to.

I need you.

Don't give up on me.

(music)

We've run a battery of tests.

She has total necrosis
of the cerebral cortex.

- What are you talking about?
- The blood clot deprived her brain of oxygen

for an extended period.

There is no longer any brain function,.

- Are you saying she's brain dead?
- Yes.

What if the tests are wrong?
What if there's been a mistake?

We'll need you to fill out some paperwork.

To discontinue life support.

Your dogs are barking a lot.

Sorry about that. They're dogs.

At least they don't wake you
up at 6am every morning.

Sorry to hear about your mother.

She's in a coma.

They don't know if she'll get better.

My son was on life support.

For a long time.

His body grew weak.

Till I didn't recognize my son anymore.

I didn't know.

They gave me this flag.

They could keep the damn if
they'd just give me my son back.

That's you.

Yes it is. With grandma.

This is really hard.

I know, baby. I know.

Come on. You always gotta
be the center of attention.

Mom really took to him.

I know, baby.

I know.

I have to make the right decision.

Denis...

she's gone.

They say some people wake up
from comas 20 years later.

She's not sleeping.

She's left.

I can't just...

It feels so abrupt.

I know.

What will be, will be.

I just want to turn back the clock.

Oh God (laughing)

One more trite saying...

and I'm gonna....

In every life a little rain must fall.
(laughter)

No wonder people say that shit.

It's true.

Mom...

It's me.

I don't know if you can hear me or not.

I've tried so hard...

For once....

you're going to have to trust me on this.

She got a kick out of you
bringing those dogs.

Made her really happy.

Yeah.

Is there paperwork I need to sign?

(heart monitor beeping)

(heart monitor stops beeping)

- Mom?
- Oh Jesus.

- Are you real?
- What do you think?

We just buried you.

I'm proud of you. You
made the right decision.

It's what I had to do.

That's my boy.

Now, Denis, don't waste the money I
left you. Do something good with it.

Yeah.

Okay. I will.

The next time you call me.
Put on some clothes.

- I am your mother.
- Did I call you?

I'll always be with you.

- Mom?
- Denis?

- Did you see her?
- See who?

She was right over there. I
was just talking to her.

Okay, honey. I'll fix us some supper.

I think Aaron and Jesse are back together.

They both look great.

I don't know how many
times they've broken up.

With their history it's more like...

they take relationship vacations.

I couldn't handle breaking up with you.

Let's don't.

Deal.

(whining dog)

Especially now that we have such
a big family to take care of.

This is a lot.

Hey, we eat off those plates.

- I'll wash the plates.
- It's uncouth.

At least they haven't lost their appetite.

Nope.

Do we have to keep all of them?

Isn't there somebody
somewhere that wants one?

I saw someone giving away dogs next
to the coffee shop. I could try that.

There you go.

But I want to make sure
they go to good homes.

They're dogs. How good
of a home do they need?

Better than Mom's.

- What you got?
- Dog.

- Is it a puppy?
- A bit older.

We're gonna get her a puppy.

This dog would be better than a puppy.
He's housebroken. And gentle.

A puppy will tear up your furniture.
Be too rough with your kid.

Well...

it is kind of cute. What
are you asking for it?

- He's free to a good home.
- Can't you keep it?

He belonged to a family
member who just passed.

I'm sorry.

- I didn't come here to get a dog.
- I want it.
- What are you gonna do when you get bored?

I'm gonna give it back.

We couldn't do that. We'd
never find this guy again.

- We could just let it go in the woods.
- On the other hand...

maybe this isn't the right dog for you.
- We'll take it off your hands.

Why don't you wait till she's a bit older.

- I don't know if I like you telling me how to raise my granddaughter.
- I wasn't doing that.

What do you think? I'm
an unfit grandmother?

I guess you think you're just like your father
and you think I let her watch too much TV.

No really, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend
you. This is not the right dog for you, okay.

I bet you're a perfect father. I
bet you have all the answers.

I didn't mean to offend you. Sorry.

Those dogs I took last week...

my mother died.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It was quite a shock.
Those dogs were for her.

I don't need them now. I was
hoping I could bring them back.

No, no, I'd rather you didn't.

I know you have a lot of animals
here, but I can't take care of them.

Any dog that's here more
than a week gets gassed.

You can leave them here.
I'll have to put them down.

- You're kidding. A week?
- If the commissioner had his way...

he wouldn't let us keep them overnight.
- Why?

- Budget cuts. Costs to feed them.
- That's worse than before.

And you know what...

I can't do anything about it.
This isn't why I took this job.

- There are 2 dozen animals to destroy.
- Not anymore you don't.

Where did these dogs come from?

You left with 4, you came back with...

how many are there?
- We've already got 6. What's another...

20? - We cannot take care
of every dog in the county.

Yes. We can. And we will. The
county can keep them anymore.

- We're their only chance.
- Take them to another shelter.

It's tough all over. We have the land.

I have the time. I'm doing it.

- I'd like your help.
- They're going to eat us out of house and home.

I have an idea.

I was thinking that since bringing
dogs made my mom feel better...

maybe other patients would
enjoy a visit from a dog.

- I don't think the doc will go for it.
- Go for what?

When I was here I'd bring in a dog to make Mom
feel better. I was thinking other patients...

would benefit from that as well. - Dog
therapy. They're doing it at major hospitals.

They are? I'm caring for a group...

of dogs that we rescued. They'd be
very gentle with children or seniors.

Studies have shown significant benefits. So
long as the dogs are clean there's no harm.

I think there's a policy regarding animals.

How can you guarantee they won't bite?

- These are very loving.
- We can get the Patient Care Committee to address it.

I brought one with me.

I'll talk to the Board of Directors.

The only problem is the hospital
doesn't have funds for this.

But I know someone who does.

Denis?

Hey.... how are you doing?

Great. Getting canned by you is
the best thing that could happen.

- Oh... wow.
- You felt guilty about doing it.

- Didn't you, Marty?
- Well, no...

Now you can make it up to me. See this dog?

The animal shelter is about to kill it unless
someone steps forward to keep it alive.

Why doesn't somebody just adopt the dog.

Do you want a dog?

I would love to, but we can't
have dogs at my place.

- But you can be its corporate sponsor.
- Corporate sponsor?

- Never heard of a corporate sponsor for a dog.
- Lucky for you...

this is a hospital therapy dog. She
visits children with terminal illness.

Imagine what it's like to see this
little girl with tubes in her arms...

barely breathing, suddenly jump for joy
when this dog comes into her room.

And the parents, the
parents are in tears...

to see their little girl so happy.
It's an experience they never forget.

With tears in their eyes...

camera in hand, they see the company logo

on the bandana around the dog's neck.

"This therapy animal sponsored by ____"

Wouldn't you like the name
of the company there?

How much?

Come on you guys...

Go away. Go away!

Go outside.

(dog whining)
What?

You want some of this?

You want some of this? Here you go.

Just don't tell your father.

(protest rally speaker)

- Hey.
- Do you have any I need to take?

All of 'em. County is
shutting this place down.

- You're kidding.
- No, since you started taking the dogs I was going to euthanize...

the county thinks we no longer
have an overpopulation problem.

- They cut my job.
- Are they nuts?
- It's all politics.

I guess it's just as well. I took this
job to help animals, not kill them.

I need someone to do
hospital visitations...

while I recruit volunteers.
Come work for me.

- Hospital visitations?
- Yeah, and we need to start a campaign...

to convince people to fix their pet.
Stop the breeding.

- Good luck with that.
- What do you think of this?

Awesome.

I love you, son.

Nasturtiams for patriotism...

Red poppies for consolation.

It's my pleasure to present
the highest honor...

in recognition of civic pride.
For taking action...

with no second thoughts
and jumping in to save...

I don't know how many animals, and bring
joy to I don't know how many people.

I'm deeply honored...

and very happy to present
this award to you, Denis.

(applause)

Thank you.

I really didn't expect this.

A lot of people helped.

I want to thank you. You've
been really wonderful.

I couldn't do this without you.

But there's one person who
made this all possible.

Someone who I never got a chance to thank.

Someone who watched over me....

who is a real angel for me.

Didn't always agree with me, and I
didn't always do the right thing.

But I owe everything in my life...

to you.

Thank you, Milosz.

And we're going to need your
help to watch the ranch...

because we're taking a 3
week vacation to Italy.

I bought the plane tickets.

(cheering)
