00:00:06,299 --> 00:00:08,802
[Charles, British accent]
Hello. I'm an English bulldog.

2
00:00:08,885 --> 00:00:10,720
Do you happen to have an English muffin?

3
00:00:10,804 --> 00:00:13,265
[chuckles]
Charles, that's a French bulldog.

4
00:00:13,348 --> 00:00:14,599
[normal] Oh, uh, got it.

5
00:00:15,684 --> 00:00:17,686
[French accent] Un french fry?

6
00:00:17,769 --> 00:00:19,354
[laughs]

7
00:00:19,437 --> 00:00:22,065
You are ridiculous. [chuckles]

8
00:00:22,148 --> 00:00:23,233
[dog whimpers]

9
00:00:25,068 --> 00:00:27,779
[Charles, cute voice]
Hi. I'm a cute little white puppy.

10
00:00:27,862 --> 00:00:30,448
Can I play with your tennis ball? Please?

11
00:00:30,532 --> 00:00:33,493
[chuckles] What kinda accent is that?

12
00:00:33,577 --> 00:00:35,537
[Charles, normal]
A cute little white puppy accent.

13
00:00:35,620 --> 00:00:38,623
That puppy is
a West Highland white terrier.

14
00:00:38,707 --> 00:00:40,417
The breed originated in Scotland.

15
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,711
Scotland? I don't know any of their food.

16
00:00:42,794 --> 00:00:45,171
-[chuckles]
-[puppy barks]

17
00:00:45,255 --> 00:00:46,840
[chuckles] Oh, look.

18
00:00:46,923 --> 00:00:50,343
He couldn't get the tennis ball,
so he moved on to someone's sweatshirt.

19
00:00:50,427 --> 00:00:53,430
-[chuckles]
-[laughs] That looks like your sweatshirt.

20
00:00:53,513 --> 00:00:55,432
Wait. What?

21
00:00:55,515 --> 00:00:57,309
Oh, my goodness. Come on.

22
00:00:57,392 --> 00:00:59,352
-Where'd he go?
-I don't know.

23
00:00:59,436 --> 00:01:01,062
[Lizzie] Let's check the bushes.

24
00:01:01,146 --> 00:01:03,023
-[Charles] Where are you?
-Come here, boy.

25
00:01:03,106 --> 00:01:04,440
[both] Come on out.

26
00:01:04,983 --> 00:01:06,651
[groans] Where are you?

27
00:01:10,363 --> 00:01:11,406
Charles.

28
00:01:13,366 --> 00:01:14,451
[chuckles]

29
00:01:15,702 --> 00:01:17,329
[licking]

30
00:01:17,412 --> 00:01:21,207
-[whines]
-Aw, are you okay?

31
00:01:21,291 --> 00:01:22,417
[whimpers]

32
00:01:23,084 --> 00:01:24,753
Do you think he lives here?

33
00:01:25,503 --> 00:01:27,797
No collar. He's probably a stray.

34
00:01:27,881 --> 00:01:29,716
-[yips]
-Aw.

35
00:01:30,884 --> 00:01:32,844
It's okay. Come here.

36
00:01:34,346 --> 00:01:36,765
-[whines]
-[Charles] Don't worry. We got you.

37
00:01:37,724 --> 00:01:40,894
Oh, my. Hi.

38
00:01:40,977 --> 00:01:42,270
Come on. Let's go.

39
00:01:48,276 --> 00:01:50,695
[chattering]

40
00:01:52,572 --> 00:01:54,032
Thanks. [chuckles]

41
00:01:55,075 --> 00:01:58,036
Madison said everyone loved our duet
at Thao's karaoke party.

42
00:01:58,119 --> 00:01:59,204
Well, we did nail it.

43
00:01:59,788 --> 00:02:01,248
In tune and always in sync.

44
00:02:03,208 --> 00:02:06,836
Nice work, you two. Really impressed
with the amount of research here.

45
00:02:07,462 --> 00:02:08,462
Thank you.

46
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:10,423
[chuckles]

47
00:02:10,507 --> 00:02:13,468
I knew using only peer-reviewed sources
would put us over the top.

48
00:02:13,552 --> 00:02:14,553
Which reminds me…

49
00:02:16,054 --> 00:02:17,973
The new debate team T-shirts came in,

50
00:02:18,056 --> 00:02:20,016
and they picked our design. [giggles]

51
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:21,268
Awesome.

52
00:02:21,351 --> 00:02:23,853
Wait. Why are they yellow?
Didn't we decide on red?

53
00:02:23,937 --> 00:02:25,689
Oh, we did, but I decided to change it

54
00:02:25,772 --> 00:02:28,900
because yellow is a highly visible
and attention-grabbing color.

55
00:02:28,984 --> 00:02:30,527
But so is red.

56
00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:33,446
[Mr. Griffin]
May I have everyone's attention, please?

57
00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:37,951
Meet Eddie, our new class pet.

58
00:02:38,034 --> 00:02:39,911
-Class pet?
-Class pet?

59
00:02:39,995 --> 00:02:42,706
Each of you will be responsible for Eddie
for two weeks.

60
00:02:42,789 --> 00:02:45,208
That means feeding him,
keeping his terrarium clean,

61
00:02:45,292 --> 00:02:47,168
and giving him lots of attention.

62
00:02:47,252 --> 00:02:50,171
All right? So, who wants
to take care of this little fella first?

63
00:02:50,255 --> 00:02:51,298
[gasps] Me.

64
00:02:51,798 --> 00:02:53,133
[Mr. Griffin] Oh, okay, Maria.

65
00:02:53,216 --> 00:02:56,052
[chuckles] I know Eddie will appreciate
your enthusiasm.

66
00:02:57,095 --> 00:03:00,599
I can finally have a pet that won't
aggravate my dad's dander allergy.

67
00:03:00,682 --> 00:03:01,933
Isn't this great?

68
00:03:03,143 --> 00:03:04,394
Yeah, for sure.

69
00:03:10,692 --> 00:03:12,360
Maria's taking care of him first,

70
00:03:12,444 --> 00:03:15,155
but he gets passed around
to someone new every two weeks.

71
00:03:15,238 --> 00:03:17,574
Seems like a lot of adjustment
for a little lizard.

72
00:03:17,657 --> 00:03:19,075
-Exactly.
-I don't know.

73
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:22,037
-It sounds like a fun learning experience.
-Not for Eddie.

74
00:03:22,537 --> 00:03:24,706
I'd rather have a lizard
than a "grand buddy."

75
00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:26,958
Really? I thought you'd be more excited.

76
00:03:27,042 --> 00:03:29,628
About going to a retirement community?

77
00:03:29,711 --> 00:03:31,796
Mmm. Oh, I loved the grand buddy program.

78
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,634
Besides, you can learn a lot from somebody
who's lived through ten presidencies.

79
00:03:35,717 --> 00:03:38,386
And shuffleboard does not get
the respect it deserves.

80
00:03:39,095 --> 00:03:40,722
I'd rather stay here with Snowball.

81
00:03:42,682 --> 00:03:44,059
[whines]

82
00:03:44,142 --> 00:03:47,479
Oh. [chuckles]
He already knows his name. Impressive.

83
00:03:47,562 --> 00:03:50,232
-[laughs]
-By the way, two bits of good news.

84
00:03:50,315 --> 00:03:53,693
Dr. Abby said Snowball's tests came back,
and he's completely healthy.

85
00:03:53,777 --> 00:03:56,738
Also, she knows of two families
who want to adopt a smaller dog.

86
00:03:56,821 --> 00:03:58,323
[growling]

87
00:03:59,449 --> 00:04:01,326
[chuckles] My sweatshirt again?

88
00:04:01,409 --> 00:04:03,870
There's a dog bed right there, Snowball.

89
00:04:03,954 --> 00:04:06,164
Aw. He must really like your scent.

90
00:04:06,248 --> 00:04:07,707
Which means he likes you.

91
00:04:07,791 --> 00:04:09,459
Oh, I didn't know that.

92
00:04:09,542 --> 00:04:11,378
[chuckles] That's cool.

93
00:04:12,295 --> 00:04:13,672
I like you too, Snowball.

94
00:04:20,470 --> 00:04:22,973
It's great knowing
kids your age are still interested

95
00:04:23,056 --> 00:04:24,766
in joining the grand buddies program.

96
00:04:24,849 --> 00:04:29,437
-Well, it wasn't exactly my choice. I--
-It's so rewarding for our residents.

97
00:04:29,521 --> 00:04:32,232
Uh, Stella, have you gone outside today?

98
00:04:32,315 --> 00:04:33,441
Why bother?

99
00:04:33,984 --> 00:04:37,404
I'm bringing the outside inside,
and I don't have to leave my chair.

100
00:04:40,949 --> 00:04:41,950
Uh--

101
00:04:44,995 --> 00:04:47,539
I know you know what you just did, Jerry.

102
00:04:47,622 --> 00:04:50,208
I don't know
what you're talking about, Lloyd.

103
00:04:50,292 --> 00:04:51,626
[scoffs, chuckles]

104
00:04:56,298 --> 00:04:57,299
Come on.

105
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,766
-[knocks]
-[door opens]

106
00:05:06,850 --> 00:05:07,851
[Lloyd] Hey, Rose.

107
00:05:07,934 --> 00:05:10,645
Meet your grand buddy, Charles Peterson.

108
00:05:17,402 --> 00:05:19,154
Well, I'll-- I'll leave you to it.

109
00:05:19,237 --> 00:05:22,157
Oh, just a reminder,
you have physical therapy at 4:30.

110
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,286
Wait a minute.
You know I have hiked Mount Washington.

111
00:05:26,369 --> 00:05:29,497
You know I don't need physical therapy.

112
00:05:30,123 --> 00:05:33,209
-I am as ripe as--
-As a four-dollar avocado.

113
00:05:33,293 --> 00:05:34,669
-Uh-huh.
-Thank you.

114
00:05:34,753 --> 00:05:36,838
-But it's still good for you.
-Yeah.

115
00:05:43,845 --> 00:05:45,931
Uh, hi. I'm Charles.

116
00:05:49,601 --> 00:05:51,811
Uh, so, wanna go for a walk?

117
00:05:51,895 --> 00:05:53,271
No.

118
00:05:53,897 --> 00:05:55,815
Okay, maybe we can play a board game?

119
00:05:55,899 --> 00:05:57,859
Not feelin' it.

120
00:05:57,943 --> 00:06:00,737
[sighs] Is there anything you wanna do?

121
00:06:02,405 --> 00:06:03,531
Look, Charlie…

122
00:06:04,991 --> 00:06:09,246
I didn't sign up for this buddy thing.
I've been independent all my life.

123
00:06:09,329 --> 00:06:12,499
It's okay.
I didn't really sign up for it either.

124
00:06:12,582 --> 00:06:14,668
I had to for school.

125
00:06:14,751 --> 00:06:17,796
Well, you should never let
other people tell you what to do.

126
00:06:18,588 --> 00:06:19,798
I'm in third grade.

127
00:06:19,881 --> 00:06:21,174
[inhales] Got it.

128
00:06:21,925 --> 00:06:23,635
[sighs]

129
00:06:23,718 --> 00:06:28,014
Well, uh, I have to be here for an hour.
So I can just read or something.

130
00:06:28,098 --> 00:06:31,351
Then I get to go home
and play with my new foster puppy.

131
00:06:33,311 --> 00:06:35,105
Fostering a puppy.

132
00:06:35,188 --> 00:06:37,524
Well, that's a noble pursuit.

133
00:06:38,191 --> 00:06:40,694
Yeah. [chuckles] Me and my sister love it.

134
00:06:41,194 --> 00:06:42,737
What do you think of this?

135
00:06:43,863 --> 00:06:50,453
I once chained myself
to a 400-year-old oak tree for three days

136
00:06:50,537 --> 00:06:52,956
just to keep it from being cut down.

137
00:06:57,168 --> 00:07:00,547
-Whoa, that's so cool.
-I thought so.

138
00:07:02,799 --> 00:07:04,217
[sighs]

139
00:07:05,886 --> 00:07:07,262
[exhales deeply]

140
00:07:09,264 --> 00:07:11,766
Okay, Snowball. Ready? Go get the rope.

141
00:07:11,850 --> 00:07:13,435
[barking]

142
00:07:15,729 --> 00:07:18,982
Uh… [scoffs] I get it.
You like to pick your own toys.

143
00:07:20,984 --> 00:07:22,068
[Snowball whines]

144
00:07:22,152 --> 00:07:25,447
Hey. So, how was your grand buddy?

145
00:07:26,114 --> 00:07:29,910
She's okay. I'm definitely bringing
some manga next time.

146
00:07:30,952 --> 00:07:32,871
Did the first family like Snowball?

147
00:07:33,622 --> 00:07:37,125
Well, they loved him at first,
but he wasn't that into them.

148
00:07:37,208 --> 00:07:39,377
Especially when they tried to pick him up.

149
00:07:40,086 --> 00:07:41,254
[doorbell rings]

150
00:07:41,338 --> 00:07:43,965
Oh. Okay, Snowball,
here's your second chance.

151
00:07:44,049 --> 00:07:46,301
Time to be on your best behavior.

152
00:07:46,384 --> 00:07:47,761
[whines, grumbles]

153
00:07:47,844 --> 00:07:50,055
-Hey, Snowball, stop.
-[growls, barking]

154
00:07:51,139 --> 00:07:52,724
[sighs]

155
00:07:56,102 --> 00:07:59,940
Okay. Come on, Snowball.
Do you wanna play? Do you wanna play?

156
00:08:01,274 --> 00:08:03,693
H-He just takes a minute to warm up.

157
00:08:04,194 --> 00:08:06,529
That's fine. We're in no rush.

158
00:08:07,364 --> 00:08:10,867
-[whimpers]
-Aw, he is tired.

159
00:08:11,451 --> 00:08:13,787
[chuckles] Come here, you.

160
00:08:13,870 --> 00:08:18,667
[Snowball growls, whines]

161
00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:21,044
I don't think
he wants to be held right now.

162
00:08:21,127 --> 00:08:22,212
[chuckles]

163
00:08:22,295 --> 00:08:23,964
No worries. [laughs]

164
00:08:24,047 --> 00:08:26,550
We'll just pet you, Snowball.
Is that okay?

165
00:08:26,633 --> 00:08:28,510
[growls, whimpers]

166
00:08:29,344 --> 00:08:30,387
Uh…

167
00:08:31,972 --> 00:08:33,472
Doesn't want that either.

168
00:08:35,433 --> 00:08:37,351
[both chuckle]

169
00:08:50,699 --> 00:08:53,952
-Hey, Maria, I'm actually glad you called.
-Lizzie, check this out.

170
00:08:56,288 --> 00:08:58,748
I got Eddie a warming rock,
a hollow log hidey-hole

171
00:08:58,832 --> 00:09:00,792
and a ton of fresh vegetation to munch on.

172
00:09:00,875 --> 00:09:02,544
Right. About that.

173
00:09:02,627 --> 00:09:05,088
I've been doing some research,
and I'm gonna be honest.

174
00:09:05,171 --> 00:09:07,841
I don't think the class pet program
is such a great idea.

175
00:09:08,675 --> 00:09:11,052
Really? I think it's a great program.

176
00:09:11,136 --> 00:09:14,806
Well, if you're considering
the welfare of Eddie or any animal,

177
00:09:14,890 --> 00:09:16,474
it's not such a great program.

178
00:09:16,558 --> 00:09:20,729
I am considering Eddie's welfare,
and I'm taking really good care of him.

179
00:09:21,605 --> 00:09:23,440
That's-- That's not what I'm saying.

180
00:09:23,523 --> 00:09:25,275
Then what are you saying?

181
00:09:26,401 --> 00:09:30,614
Eddie deserves consistent care,
not to be passed around every two weeks.

182
00:09:30,697 --> 00:09:34,242
I'm going to Mr. Griffin to ask him
to end the class pet program tomorrow.

183
00:09:34,326 --> 00:09:37,662
I can't believe you'd go to Mr. Griffin
without talking to me first.

184
00:09:37,746 --> 00:09:39,080
That's what we're doing now.

185
00:09:39,164 --> 00:09:43,460
No, we're not talking. You're just telling
me what you've already decided to do.

186
00:09:43,543 --> 00:09:45,295
Like you did with the debate T-shirts.

187
00:09:46,129 --> 00:09:47,964
You're still mad about the T-shirts?

188
00:09:48,048 --> 00:09:51,301
No. I'm mad at you
because we're supposed to be best friends,

189
00:09:51,384 --> 00:09:53,220
but you don't seem to care what I think.

190
00:09:53,303 --> 00:09:55,096
That's not true, Maria.

191
00:09:55,180 --> 00:09:57,307
I'm just trying to do
what's right for Eddie.

192
00:09:57,390 --> 00:09:58,725
And I'm not?

193
00:10:00,310 --> 00:10:01,770
I need to feed him.

194
00:10:01,853 --> 00:10:02,854
[computer beeps]

195
00:10:05,815 --> 00:10:07,150
[sighs]

196
00:10:16,952 --> 00:10:18,328
Ready to head out?

197
00:10:19,329 --> 00:10:21,623
[sighs] If we have to.

198
00:10:22,874 --> 00:10:25,085
That excited to see your grand buddy?

199
00:10:25,168 --> 00:10:28,838
She just sits in a chair and reads.
But it-- It's cool.

200
00:10:28,922 --> 00:10:30,257
It's cool?

201
00:10:30,340 --> 00:10:33,552
I mean, it's no big deal.
She doesn't want me there anyway.

202
00:10:34,886 --> 00:10:36,888
Charles,
if she didn't want you to come back,

203
00:10:36,972 --> 00:10:38,557
I'm sure we'd have heard about it.

204
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,560
I don't know. We have nothing in common.

205
00:10:41,643 --> 00:10:43,436
Everyone has something in common,

206
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,107
no matter how old or young you are,
what you look like or where you come from.

207
00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:50,193
Sometimes it just takes
a minute to figure it out.

208
00:10:50,819 --> 00:10:52,279
I know you, Charles.

209
00:10:52,362 --> 00:10:54,990
If you want to find that connection,
you will.

210
00:10:55,073 --> 00:10:57,492
But if you don't, it's cool.

211
00:10:57,576 --> 00:10:59,828
[chuckles] Meet you in the car.

212
00:11:06,001 --> 00:11:07,460
[whimpers]

213
00:11:08,336 --> 00:11:09,880
[Charles] Hi, Rose.

214
00:11:09,963 --> 00:11:11,423
Charlie.

215
00:11:12,340 --> 00:11:13,341
[chuckles]

216
00:11:13,425 --> 00:11:15,886
Oh, good. You brought lunch.

217
00:11:15,969 --> 00:11:17,387
Anything but kebabs.

218
00:11:17,470 --> 00:11:20,265
Every other day here is
some type of kebabs.

219
00:11:20,849 --> 00:11:23,393
[chuckles] It's not lunch.
This is Snowball.

220
00:11:23,935 --> 00:11:25,812
He's the foster dog I wanted you to meet.

221
00:11:26,396 --> 00:11:30,525
Charles,
I did not approve of a second guest.

222
00:11:30,609 --> 00:11:32,986
I mean,
I barely approve of you being here.

223
00:11:33,069 --> 00:11:35,196
Well, I thought
that you might wanna meet him.

224
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,615
I'm sorry.

225
00:11:37,324 --> 00:11:39,284
I am not a dog person.

226
00:11:40,952 --> 00:11:44,497
Oh. [stammers] Don't worry.
I mean, you won't even notice he's here.

227
00:11:44,581 --> 00:11:46,917
[sniffing, barking]

228
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,044
[scoffs] See? Kinda does his own thing.

229
00:11:49,127 --> 00:11:50,295
Clearly.

230
00:11:54,341 --> 00:11:56,760
We actually found him in the park.

231
00:11:56,843 --> 00:11:59,804
He built his own home in the bushes
and everything.

232
00:11:59,888 --> 00:12:01,932
Oh, you think that's something, huh?

233
00:12:02,515 --> 00:12:07,270
I spent 13 months freezing my tail off
in Denali, Alaska,

234
00:12:07,354 --> 00:12:11,608
marching with the Athabascan tribe
to protect their land rights.

235
00:12:12,359 --> 00:12:13,526
Wow. [chuckles]

236
00:12:14,444 --> 00:12:16,821
"Wow" is right. And you know what?

237
00:12:20,492 --> 00:12:24,204
The tribe made me this as a thank-you.

238
00:12:30,877 --> 00:12:33,838
-What do you think?
-Whoa.

239
00:12:33,922 --> 00:12:37,467
Isn't that somethin'? [chuckles]
You be careful with that, huh?

240
00:12:37,551 --> 00:12:39,219
[grumbles, barks]

241
00:12:40,262 --> 00:12:41,930
[barking]

242
00:12:42,013 --> 00:12:43,640
[laughs]

243
00:12:44,641 --> 00:12:47,310
He got that ball from Jerry's walker.

244
00:12:47,394 --> 00:12:50,063
-[laughing]
-Oh.

245
00:12:50,146 --> 00:12:51,731
Snowball, no.

246
00:12:52,357 --> 00:12:54,192
No, no, it's fine.

247
00:12:54,276 --> 00:12:57,612
He has a sock drawer full of 'em. [laughs]

248
00:12:57,696 --> 00:12:59,197
[barks]

249
00:13:02,033 --> 00:13:03,034
Whoo-hoo.

250
00:13:03,118 --> 00:13:04,286
[barks]

251
00:13:05,370 --> 00:13:07,289
[laughing]

252
00:13:07,372 --> 00:13:09,082
Oh, boy.

253
00:13:09,833 --> 00:13:11,209
[sighs]

254
00:13:11,293 --> 00:13:13,628
That's the most I've laughed
in quite a while.

255
00:13:13,712 --> 00:13:15,297
[Snowball barking]

256
00:13:17,090 --> 00:13:19,593
What kind of dog is that, anyways?

257
00:13:19,676 --> 00:13:21,720
He's a West Highland terrier
from Scotland.

258
00:13:21,803 --> 00:13:22,804
Ah.

259
00:13:23,388 --> 00:13:24,848
[Scottish accent] Are you now?

260
00:13:25,807 --> 00:13:30,562
Well, how 'bout you get that ball
just a wee bit closer

261
00:13:30,645 --> 00:13:33,481
so I can kick it back for ya? Huh?

262
00:13:33,565 --> 00:13:35,817
[grumbles, whines]

263
00:13:36,735 --> 00:13:39,070
[normal voice]
Well, he's a stubborn one, isn't he?

264
00:13:39,154 --> 00:13:40,280
He sure is.

265
00:13:41,656 --> 00:13:43,742
Reminds me of someone I know.

266
00:13:43,825 --> 00:13:45,076
Who?

267
00:13:47,454 --> 00:13:48,455
Ah.

268
00:13:57,088 --> 00:13:58,465
You ready for a break, hon?

269
00:14:00,508 --> 00:14:02,677
Been working on your homework
for quite a while.

270
00:14:03,929 --> 00:14:04,930
I'm good.

271
00:14:05,013 --> 00:14:07,557
And it's not homework.
It's a pros and cons list.

272
00:14:07,641 --> 00:14:10,352
-Ooh. What are we "pro-ing" and "con-ing"?
-Class pets.

273
00:14:10,435 --> 00:14:12,145
-Ah. Hmm.
-[sighs]

274
00:14:12,229 --> 00:14:13,730
I'm trying my best to be fair,

275
00:14:13,813 --> 00:14:16,983
but I'm having a really hard time
coming up with any pros,

276
00:14:17,067 --> 00:14:19,861
except that I'd still be talking
to my best friend.

277
00:14:20,654 --> 00:14:22,906
You know,
if you listen to Maria's side of things,

278
00:14:22,989 --> 00:14:25,450
I wouldn't be surprised
if you came up with a few more.

279
00:14:25,533 --> 00:14:26,534
But she's wrong.

280
00:14:26,618 --> 00:14:30,038
I'm not saying you need to agree with her,
but it never hurts to listen.

281
00:14:30,121 --> 00:14:31,498
[footsteps approach]

282
00:14:31,581 --> 00:14:35,585
Mom, why did you wash this?
It's Snowball's favorite. Remember?

283
00:14:35,669 --> 00:14:38,505
Hate to break it to you,
but I think Snowball's moved on.

284
00:14:41,299 --> 00:14:42,300
Oh.

285
00:14:43,385 --> 00:14:44,386
[whines]

286
00:14:48,306 --> 00:14:50,850
-[Charles] Come on, Snowball.
-[sniffing]

287
00:14:52,060 --> 00:14:53,061
[whines]

288
00:14:53,144 --> 00:14:54,145
[barks]

289
00:14:55,981 --> 00:14:58,692
-Hey, you're back.
-[whines]

290
00:14:58,775 --> 00:15:01,236
You know you're only required to be here
twice a week.

291
00:15:01,861 --> 00:15:04,781
Well, I wanted to return this.
Snowball took it.

292
00:15:04,864 --> 00:15:07,659
Oh. I wondered where that went.

293
00:15:07,742 --> 00:15:10,245
And he's been sleeping with it
ever since we left.

294
00:15:10,328 --> 00:15:11,705
Really?

295
00:15:11,788 --> 00:15:13,707
Yeah. It means he likes you.

296
00:15:14,291 --> 00:15:15,292
A lot. [chuckles]

297
00:15:15,375 --> 00:15:17,377
[barking]

298
00:15:17,460 --> 00:15:19,796
Well, I'd love to give it to ya,
hon, but--

299
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,258
No, you should keep it.
And you should keep Snowball too.

300
00:15:23,341 --> 00:15:26,261
-Oh, me? Adopt a dog?
-[whines]

301
00:15:26,344 --> 00:15:28,179
Oh, no, no, no, no. I can't.

302
00:15:28,263 --> 00:15:29,264
Yes, you can.

303
00:15:29,347 --> 00:15:31,600
Snowball is the easiest puppy
I've ever met.

304
00:15:31,683 --> 00:15:33,518
You'd barely have to do anything.

305
00:15:33,602 --> 00:15:35,645
He's really independent.
He's just like you.

306
00:15:36,354 --> 00:15:37,856
Well… [stammers] …Charlie, I--

307
00:15:37,939 --> 00:15:40,400
And I know you like him,
even if you say you don't.

308
00:15:40,483 --> 00:15:41,818
Of course I like him.

309
00:15:41,902 --> 00:15:44,029
-I like him a whole lot.
-[barks]

310
00:15:44,112 --> 00:15:45,864
So why won't you adopt him?

311
00:15:45,947 --> 00:15:46,948
[sighs]

312
00:15:47,908 --> 00:15:50,452
They don't allow dogs here.

313
00:15:50,535 --> 00:15:52,203
[whines]

314
00:15:52,287 --> 00:15:53,955
[sighs]

315
00:16:10,472 --> 00:16:13,141
Did you really make
a class pets pros and cons list?

316
00:16:13,225 --> 00:16:15,227
Of course I did. And you did too.

317
00:16:16,061 --> 00:16:17,062
Obviously.

318
00:16:17,145 --> 00:16:19,981
[Mrs. Dunn] All right, debaters.
Let's open up the floor.

319
00:16:20,065 --> 00:16:23,568
Our two co-captains,
Lizzie and Maria, will start us off.

320
00:16:23,652 --> 00:16:24,861
Have you picked a topic?

321
00:16:26,029 --> 00:16:27,364
[both] Class--

322
00:16:27,447 --> 00:16:29,157
Pets? [scoffs]

323
00:16:29,241 --> 00:16:32,077
I mean, technically,
we don't have an actual "no pets" rule.

324
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,372
-Wait-- Where did my pen go?
-Well, then Rose can adopt Snowball.

325
00:16:35,997 --> 00:16:38,875
-I don't think it's a good idea.
-But you just said that--

326
00:16:38,959 --> 00:16:40,669
I know. But…

327
00:16:42,087 --> 00:16:46,007
I'm worried Rose doesn't have the stamina
to take care of a dog on her own.

328
00:16:46,091 --> 00:16:48,260
Yeah, but Snowball takes care of himself.

329
00:16:48,343 --> 00:16:51,930
And that's why he's perfect for her.
You won't even notice he's here.

330
00:16:52,013 --> 00:16:55,892
Charles,
I appreciate you looking out for Rose.

331
00:16:55,976 --> 00:16:57,018
Thank you.

332
00:16:57,102 --> 00:17:00,480
And trust me, our residents'
best interests are my top priority too.

333
00:17:01,147 --> 00:17:03,275
But my staff is stretched thin as it is,

334
00:17:03,358 --> 00:17:06,945
and I'm afraid a dog would mean
one more thing for us to worry about.

335
00:17:16,371 --> 00:17:19,373
Our first topic is class pets.

336
00:17:19,457 --> 00:17:22,043
Lizzie and Maria have asked
to go head-to-head.

337
00:17:22,127 --> 00:17:24,629
Maria is pro, Lizzie is con.

338
00:17:25,255 --> 00:17:27,340
-Good luck.
-Don't need it.

339
00:17:27,424 --> 00:17:30,427
The pro side begins. Maria?

340
00:17:30,510 --> 00:17:31,678
Thank you, Mrs. Dunn.

341
00:17:31,761 --> 00:17:33,263
Fellow debate club members,

342
00:17:33,346 --> 00:17:35,724
a class pet is
a great addition to any classroom,

343
00:17:35,807 --> 00:17:37,934
benefiting both students and teachers.

344
00:17:38,018 --> 00:17:39,519
-Wh--
-What about the pet, Maria?

345
00:17:39,603 --> 00:17:40,937
How does it benefit them?

346
00:17:41,021 --> 00:17:42,606
The answer? It doesn't.

347
00:17:42,689 --> 00:17:45,984
Lizzie, you know you have to wait
to give your rebuttal.

348
00:17:47,027 --> 00:17:49,195
Yeah, you're right. I know that.

349
00:17:49,696 --> 00:17:51,489
She knows that, but she doesn't care.

350
00:17:51,573 --> 00:17:54,826
She's already made up her mind
like she always does.

351
00:17:55,327 --> 00:17:57,495
Always, Maria? [scoffs] Really?

352
00:17:57,579 --> 00:17:58,580
-Pretty much.
-Okay.

353
00:18:01,625 --> 00:18:05,128
I'm not sure what's going on here,
but if you wanna continue,

354
00:18:05,212 --> 00:18:08,089
you both need to listen
and treat each other with respect.

355
00:18:08,673 --> 00:18:11,968
You're co-captains. Leaders.

356
00:18:12,761 --> 00:18:14,304
Can we please act like it?

357
00:18:16,681 --> 00:18:20,560
You know, we're also best friends.
At least I hope we still are.

358
00:18:21,394 --> 00:18:23,271
[Mrs. Dunn] Maria, do you wanna continue?

359
00:18:24,773 --> 00:18:28,443
As I was saying, class pets give teachers
a built-in educational tool

360
00:18:28,526 --> 00:18:31,404
teaching kids responsibility and empathy.

361
00:18:31,488 --> 00:18:34,407
Taking care of small animals can lead to
kids being more prepared

362
00:18:34,491 --> 00:18:37,410
to take care of larger ones
like cats and dogs.

363
00:18:38,370 --> 00:18:40,997
Also, for kids who aren't allowed
to have pets at home,

364
00:18:41,081 --> 00:18:44,000
they get to experience
something they wouldn't have been able to.

365
00:18:44,668 --> 00:18:47,921
While some kids might take better care
of their class pets than others,

366
00:18:48,547 --> 00:18:51,299
they will all learn
the invaluable lesson of compassion.

367
00:18:54,678 --> 00:18:58,306
While well-intentioned, the class pet
program is disorienting for the animal.

368
00:18:58,390 --> 00:19:01,643
Animals of all sizes need time
to build up a sense of trust,

369
00:19:01,726 --> 00:19:05,355
and they can't do that if they're being
passed around from house to house.

370
00:19:11,528 --> 00:19:14,864
But Maria made some pretty good points
I hadn't thought of.

371
00:19:14,948 --> 00:19:19,035
Taking care of another living creature is
the most important thing we can do.

372
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,120
For them…

373
00:19:21,496 --> 00:19:22,539
and for us.

374
00:19:23,331 --> 00:19:26,793
But not if it risks hurting
the living creature in question.

375
00:19:28,545 --> 00:19:31,673
[chuckles] I'm sorry,
did you two just switch sides?

376
00:19:34,092 --> 00:19:37,554
No, actually,
I think we're on the same side.

377
00:19:41,558 --> 00:19:42,809
[school bell rings]

378
00:19:42,893 --> 00:19:45,395
[sighs] Well, now I'm torn.

379
00:19:46,104 --> 00:19:48,231
The class pet program has a lot of merit,

380
00:19:48,315 --> 00:19:51,902
but an animal's well-being
does take precedence.

381
00:19:55,363 --> 00:19:57,782
Mr. Griffin,
what if we replaced the class pet…

382
00:19:57,866 --> 00:19:59,159
With a class plant?

383
00:19:59,993 --> 00:20:03,246
They also need TLC,
and it'll teach responsibility.

384
00:20:03,330 --> 00:20:06,750
And a plant won't get upset
about moving from home to home.

385
00:20:07,542 --> 00:20:10,045
I actually love that idea.

386
00:20:11,838 --> 00:20:15,717
Here you go. Just please take
better care of him than I did. Hmm?

387
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,969
[chuckles] Don't worry.
He's in good hands.

388
00:20:19,512 --> 00:20:23,892
-Now, what are we gonna do about Eddie?
-I think that Maria should keep him.

389
00:20:25,477 --> 00:20:28,271
I would love that, and so would my dad.

390
00:20:28,772 --> 00:20:30,815
He and Eddie have gotten pretty tight.

391
00:20:30,899 --> 00:20:32,525
-[chuckles]
-Sounds perfect.

392
00:20:33,193 --> 00:20:34,402
[mouthing words] Thank you.

393
00:20:35,070 --> 00:20:37,447
And moving forward,
anytime we disagree on something,

394
00:20:37,530 --> 00:20:39,449
no matter how right we may think we are…

395
00:20:39,532 --> 00:20:41,618
We will always hear each other out.

396
00:20:42,244 --> 00:20:44,955
On that note,
the shirts do look better in red.

397
00:20:45,538 --> 00:20:46,539
Really?

398
00:20:47,540 --> 00:20:50,335
I don't know.
The yellow is starting to grow on me.

399
00:20:50,418 --> 00:20:52,003
-[laughs]
-[chuckles]

400
00:20:54,631 --> 00:20:56,758
Charles, have you seen…

401
00:20:59,302 --> 00:21:00,387
anybody?

402
00:21:00,470 --> 00:21:01,972
[laughs] Follow me.

403
00:21:02,055 --> 00:21:03,139
[sighs]

404
00:21:07,978 --> 00:21:10,689
-[laughing, chattering]
-[barking]

405
00:21:10,772 --> 00:21:12,399
What's this all about?

406
00:21:12,482 --> 00:21:14,609
-Proof that Snowball belongs here.
-[barks]

407
00:21:16,194 --> 00:21:20,532
Hey, Lloyd.
Was there a dog here the whole time?

408
00:21:20,615 --> 00:21:23,577
Had I known,
I would've come outside ages ago.

409
00:21:23,660 --> 00:21:26,413
Shame on you
for keeping it a secret, Lloyd.

410
00:21:26,496 --> 00:21:27,956
[laughs]

411
00:21:29,124 --> 00:21:32,043
Hey, Lloyd. Anything I can help you with?

412
00:21:32,836 --> 00:21:34,045
I mean, anything at all?

413
00:21:34,129 --> 00:21:36,548
No, Jerry, I'm good.
But thanks for asking.

414
00:21:36,631 --> 00:21:38,341
Aw, anytime, my friend.

415
00:21:38,425 --> 00:21:40,093
Oh, and by the way, by the way, uh--

416
00:21:40,176 --> 00:21:41,428
-You dropped this.
-Oh.

417
00:21:42,012 --> 00:21:46,391
You know, I think Snowball would make
a wonderful addition to the community.

418
00:21:46,474 --> 00:21:48,894
I get it, Jerry. [laughs]

419
00:21:51,730 --> 00:21:53,690
So, what do you think?

420
00:21:53,773 --> 00:21:56,484
Everyone is so much happier
with Snowball here.

421
00:21:57,027 --> 00:21:59,070
[Rose] Oh, hey, Lloyd.

422
00:21:59,863 --> 00:22:03,491
Why don't you come over here
and throw the ball for Snowball?

423
00:22:04,075 --> 00:22:07,329
I would,
but I'm doing my physical therapy,

424
00:22:07,412 --> 00:22:09,539
which you know I just love.

425
00:22:09,623 --> 00:22:10,707
[Snowball barks]

426
00:22:10,790 --> 00:22:11,791
So?

427
00:22:13,710 --> 00:22:14,961
You got it, Rose.

428
00:22:15,837 --> 00:22:18,590
Good, I'm so glad.
Look at this little thing.

429
00:22:18,673 --> 00:22:21,259
-[Lloyd laughs]
-[barks]

430
00:22:22,886 --> 00:22:24,930
[barking]

431
00:22:25,013 --> 00:22:26,223
[all chuckle]

432
00:22:27,766 --> 00:22:28,808
Ooh.

433
00:22:28,892 --> 00:22:30,435
[laughing, chattering continues]

434
00:22:36,733 --> 00:22:39,027
-You're sure?
-Yeah.

435
00:22:39,694 --> 00:22:42,822
Yeah, I don't think
Ulysses S. Plant is gonna make it.

436
00:22:43,323 --> 00:22:44,866
Not with that attitude he won't.

437
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:48,453
I've taken care of so many puppies.
You'd think I'd be able to handle this.

438
00:22:48,536 --> 00:22:50,038
Maybe he needs some sunlight.

439
00:22:50,664 --> 00:22:52,624
-I'll take him out front.
-Thanks, Charles.

440
00:22:54,501 --> 00:22:57,087
Hey, Charlie. I let myself in.

441
00:22:57,170 --> 00:22:59,005
-[chuckles] I can see that.
-Oh.

442
00:23:00,215 --> 00:23:01,633
This is my grand buddy, Rose.

443
00:23:01,716 --> 00:23:04,553
-[both chuckle] Hi.
-[Charles] Snowball's new owner.

444
00:23:04,636 --> 00:23:07,722
Well, more like a friend
than an owner. [laughs]

445
00:23:07,806 --> 00:23:09,891
[whines, barks]

446
00:23:09,975 --> 00:23:11,518
-[Rose laughs]
-[Paul chuckles]

447
00:23:14,729 --> 00:23:16,898
Hey, look at you.

448
00:23:16,982 --> 00:23:19,568
We were just getting ready
to drop him at your place.

449
00:23:19,651 --> 00:23:23,863
Well, you know,
Lloyd suggested that I walk here instead

450
00:23:23,947 --> 00:23:25,407
because it was good exercise.

451
00:23:25,490 --> 00:23:26,908
And I did not fight him.

452
00:23:26,992 --> 00:23:28,159
[chuckles]

453
00:23:28,243 --> 00:23:31,037
-Oh, we give him enough grief as it is.
-[both chuckle]

454
00:23:31,121 --> 00:23:33,248
Okay, Snowball. Ready to go?

455
00:23:35,417 --> 00:23:37,544
-[barking]
-Ugh. [laughs]

456
00:23:37,627 --> 00:23:39,629
From Snowball, that's a "yes."

457
00:23:39,713 --> 00:23:41,256
And that's why I love him.

458
00:23:42,048 --> 00:23:45,594
Hey, Rose.
I know the grand buddies program is over,

459
00:23:45,677 --> 00:23:48,263
but maybe I could still come visit
you and Snowball?

460
00:23:48,346 --> 00:23:50,849
-Oh, honey, absolutely.
-[chuckles]

461
00:23:50,932 --> 00:23:53,810
-Just, if you bring lunch--
-No kebabs. I got it.

462
00:23:53,894 --> 00:23:55,312
That's right.

463
00:23:55,395 --> 00:23:58,481
Okay, Snowball. I'm comin' for ya.

464
00:23:58,565 --> 00:24:00,650
-[Paul chuckles]
-[Snowball barking]
