1
00:00:06,589 --> 00:00:08,959
[Charles, British accent]
Hello. I'm an English bulldog.
2
00:00:09,095 --> 00:00:10,885
Do you happen to have
an English muffin?
3
00:00:11,020 --> 00:00:13,322
[chuckles] Charles,
that's a French bulldog.
4
00:00:13,458 --> 00:00:14,560
[normal] Oh, uh, got it.
5
00:00:15,891 --> 00:00:17,664
[French accent] Un french fry?
6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,428
[laughs]
7
00:00:19,564 --> 00:00:22,099
You are ridiculous. [chuckles]
8
00:00:22,234 --> 00:00:23,173
[dog whimpers]
9
00:00:25,377 --> 00:00:27,936
[Charles, cute voice] Hi.
I'm a cute little white puppy.
10
00:00:28,071 --> 00:00:30,606
Can I play with
your tennis ball? Please?
11
00:00:30,742 --> 00:00:33,712
[chuckles]
What kinda accent is that?
12
00:00:33,848 --> 00:00:35,712
[Charles, normal] A cute
little white puppy accent.
13
00:00:35,847 --> 00:00:38,746
That puppy is
a West Highland white terrier.
14
00:00:38,881 --> 00:00:40,584
The breed originated
in Scotland.
15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,792
Scotland? I don't know
any of their food.
16
00:00:42,928 --> 00:00:45,255
[chuckles]
[puppy barks]
17
00:00:45,390 --> 00:00:47,160
[chuckles] Oh, look.
18
00:00:47,295 --> 00:00:50,600
He couldn't get the
tennis ball, so he moved
on to someone's sweatshirt.
19
00:00:50,735 --> 00:00:53,426
-[chuckles]
-[laughs] That looks like
your sweatshirt.
20
00:00:53,562 --> 00:00:55,497
Wait. What?
21
00:00:55,632 --> 00:00:57,434
Oh, my goodness. Come on.
22
00:00:57,569 --> 00:00:59,469
Where'd he go?
I don't know.
23
00:00:59,604 --> 00:01:01,174
[Lizzie] Let's check the bushes.
24
00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:03,108
Where are you?
Come here, boy.
25
00:01:03,244 --> 00:01:04,978
[both] Come on out.
26
00:01:05,114 --> 00:01:06,612
[groans] Where are you?
27
00:01:10,446 --> 00:01:11,419
Charles.
28
00:01:13,449 --> 00:01:14,422
[chuckles]
29
00:01:15,792 --> 00:01:17,454
[licking]
30
00:01:17,589 --> 00:01:21,223
-[whines]
-Aw, are you okay?
31
00:01:21,358 --> 00:01:23,129
[whimpers]
32
00:01:23,265 --> 00:01:25,529
Do you think he lives here?
33
00:01:25,664 --> 00:01:27,835
No collar.
He's probably a stray.
34
00:01:27,970 --> 00:01:29,701
[yips]
Aw.
35
00:01:30,974 --> 00:01:32,803
It's okay. Come here.
36
00:01:34,610 --> 00:01:36,774
-[whines]
-[Charles] Don't worry.
We got you.
37
00:01:37,815 --> 00:01:40,947
Oh, my. Hi.
38
00:01:41,083 --> 00:01:42,285
Come on. Let's go.
39
00:01:48,353 --> 00:01:50,656
[chattering]
40
00:01:52,655 --> 00:01:53,989
Thanks. [chuckles]
41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,656
Madison said
everyone loved our duet
42
00:01:56,792 --> 00:01:58,097
at Thao's karaoke party.
43
00:01:58,232 --> 00:01:59,836
Well, we did nail it.
44
00:01:59,972 --> 00:02:01,205
In tune and always in sync.
45
00:02:03,534 --> 00:02:06,804
Nice work, you two.
Really impressed with
the amount of research here.
46
00:02:07,536 --> 00:02:08,908
Thank you.
47
00:02:09,043 --> 00:02:10,704
[chuckles]
48
00:02:10,839 --> 00:02:13,508
I knew using only
peer-reviewed sources
would put us over the top.
49
00:02:13,643 --> 00:02:14,515
Which reminds me...
50
00:02:16,287 --> 00:02:18,111
The new debate team
T-shirts came in,
51
00:02:18,247 --> 00:02:20,050
and they picked our design.
[giggles]
52
00:02:20,186 --> 00:02:21,456
Awesome.
53
00:02:21,591 --> 00:02:23,952
Wait. Why are they yellow?
Didn't we decide on red?
54
00:02:24,088 --> 00:02:25,958
Oh, we did,
but I decided to change it
55
00:02:26,094 --> 00:02:28,929
because yellow is
a highly visible
and attention- grabbing color.
56
00:02:29,065 --> 00:02:30,730
But so is red.
57
00:02:30,865 --> 00:02:33,562
[Mr. Griffin] May I have
everyone's attention, please?
58
00:02:33,698 --> 00:02:38,038
Meet Eddie, our new class pet.
59
00:02:38,174 --> 00:02:40,169
Class pet?
Class pet?
60
00:02:40,304 --> 00:02:42,939
Each of you will be
responsible for Eddie
for two weeks.
61
00:02:43,075 --> 00:02:45,346
That means feeding him,
keeping his terrarium clean,
62
00:02:45,482 --> 00:02:47,443
and giving him
lots of attention.
63
00:02:47,579 --> 00:02:50,213
All right? So,
who wants to take care of
this little fella first?
64
00:02:50,349 --> 00:02:51,811
[gasps] Me.
65
00:02:51,947 --> 00:02:53,390
[Mr. Griffin] Oh, okay, Maria.
66
00:02:53,525 --> 00:02:57,221
[chuckles] I know Eddie will
appreciate your enthusiasm.
67
00:02:57,356 --> 00:03:00,653
I can finally have a pet
that won't aggravate
my dad's dander allergy.
68
00:03:00,789 --> 00:03:01,892
Isn't this great?
69
00:03:03,263 --> 00:03:04,334
Yeah, for sure.
70
00:03:10,903 --> 00:03:12,607
Maria's taking care
of him first,
71
00:03:12,743 --> 00:03:15,378
but he gets passed around
to someone new every two weeks.
72
00:03:15,513 --> 00:03:17,639
Seems like a lot of adjustment
for a little lizard.
73
00:03:17,774 --> 00:03:19,375
Exactly.
I don't know.
74
00:03:19,511 --> 00:03:22,648
-It sounds like
a fun learning experience.
-Not for Eddie.
75
00:03:22,784 --> 00:03:24,847
I'd rather have a lizard
than a "grand buddy."
76
00:03:24,983 --> 00:03:27,124
Really? I thought
you'd be more excited.
77
00:03:27,259 --> 00:03:29,786
About going to
a retirement community?
78
00:03:29,922 --> 00:03:32,159
Mmm. Oh, I loved
the grand buddy program.
79
00:03:32,295 --> 00:03:35,894
Besides, you can learn a lot
from somebody who's lived
through ten presidencies.
80
00:03:36,029 --> 00:03:39,135
And shuffleboard does not get
the respect it deserves.
81
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:40,733
I'd rather stay here
with Snowball.
82
00:03:42,741 --> 00:03:44,267
[whines]
83
00:03:44,403 --> 00:03:47,676
Oh. [chuckles]
He already knows his name.
Impressive.
84
00:03:47,811 --> 00:03:50,505
-[laughs]
-By the way,
two bits of good news.
85
00:03:50,641 --> 00:03:53,946
Dr. Abby said
Snowball's tests came back,
and he's completely healthy.
86
00:03:54,082 --> 00:03:56,719
Also, she knows of two families
who want to adopt a smaller dog.
87
00:03:56,854 --> 00:03:58,278
[growling]
88
00:03:59,619 --> 00:04:01,488
[chuckles] My sweatshirt again?
89
00:04:01,624 --> 00:04:04,017
There's a dog bed
right there, Snowball.
90
00:04:04,153 --> 00:04:06,226
Aw. He must really like
your scent.
91
00:04:06,362 --> 00:04:07,787
Which means he likes you.
92
00:04:07,923 --> 00:04:09,525
Oh, I didn't know that.
93
00:04:09,661 --> 00:04:11,335
[chuckles] That's cool.
94
00:04:12,433 --> 00:04:13,634
I like you too, Snowball.
95
00:04:20,744 --> 00:04:23,071
It's great knowing kids
your age are still interested
96
00:04:23,206 --> 00:04:24,907
in joining
the grand buddies program.
97
00:04:25,042 --> 00:04:27,073
Well, it wasn't exactly
my choice. I--
98
00:04:27,209 --> 00:04:29,582
It's so rewarding
for our residents.
99
00:04:29,718 --> 00:04:32,249
Uh, Stella,
have you gone outside today?
100
00:04:32,385 --> 00:04:34,186
Why bother?
101
00:04:34,321 --> 00:04:37,361
I'm bringing the outside
inside, and I don't
have to leave my chair.
102
00:04:40,996 --> 00:04:41,959
Uh--
103
00:04:45,196 --> 00:04:47,733
I know you know
what you just did, Jerry.
104
00:04:47,869 --> 00:04:50,301
I don't know what you're
talking about, Lloyd.
105
00:04:50,437 --> 00:04:51,639
[scoffs, chuckles]
106
00:04:56,375 --> 00:04:57,271
Come on.
107
00:05:05,817 --> 00:05:06,780
-[knocks]
-[door opens]
108
00:05:06,915 --> 00:05:08,016
[Lloyd] Hey, Rose.
109
00:05:08,152 --> 00:05:10,658
Meet your grand buddy,
Charles Peterson.
110
00:05:17,566 --> 00:05:19,360
Well, I'll--
I'll leave you to it.
111
00:05:19,495 --> 00:05:22,363
Oh, just a reminder, you have
physical therapy at 4:30.
112
00:05:22,498 --> 00:05:26,441
Wait a minute. You know
I have hiked Mount Washington.
113
00:05:26,577 --> 00:05:30,205
You know I don't need
physical therapy.
114
00:05:30,341 --> 00:05:33,279
-I am as ripe as--
-As a four-dollar avocado.
115
00:05:33,414 --> 00:05:34,778
Uh-huh.
Thank you.
116
00:05:34,914 --> 00:05:36,816
-But it's still good for you.
-Yeah.
117
00:05:43,985 --> 00:05:45,891
Uh, hi. I'm Charles.
118
00:05:49,729 --> 00:05:51,800
Uh, so, wanna go for a walk?
119
00:05:51,935 --> 00:05:53,435
No.
120
00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:55,839
Okay, maybe we can play
a board game?
121
00:05:55,974 --> 00:05:58,000
Not feelin' it.
122
00:05:58,135 --> 00:06:00,675
[sighs] Is there
anything you wanna do?
123
00:06:02,475 --> 00:06:03,513
Look, Charlie...
124
00:06:05,208 --> 00:06:07,283
I didn't sign up
for this buddy thing.
125
00:06:07,418 --> 00:06:09,443
I've been independent
all my life.
126
00:06:09,578 --> 00:06:12,582
It's okay. I didn't really
sign up for it either.
127
00:06:12,717 --> 00:06:14,925
I had to for school.
128
00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:17,758
Well, you should never
let other people tell you
what to do.
129
00:06:18,723 --> 00:06:19,896
I'm in third grade.
130
00:06:20,032 --> 00:06:21,124
[inhales] Got it.
131
00:06:21,966 --> 00:06:23,795
[sighs]
132
00:06:23,931 --> 00:06:25,960
Well, uh, I have to
be here for an hour.
133
00:06:26,095 --> 00:06:28,264
So I can just read or something.
134
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:31,332
Then I get to go home and
play with my new foster puppy.
135
00:06:33,408 --> 00:06:35,177
Fostering a puppy.
136
00:06:35,313 --> 00:06:38,271
Well, that's a noble pursuit.
137
00:06:38,407 --> 00:06:41,183
Yeah. [chuckles]
Me and my sister love it.
138
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:42,618
What do you think of this?
139
00:06:44,085 --> 00:06:48,921
I once chained myself
to a 400-year-old oak tree
140
00:06:49,056 --> 00:06:52,925
for three days just to
keep it from being cut down.
141
00:06:57,327 --> 00:07:00,504
-Whoa, that's so cool.
-I thought so.
142
00:07:02,831 --> 00:07:04,167
[sighs]
143
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:07,236
[exhales deeply]
144
00:07:09,481 --> 00:07:11,738
Okay, Snowball. Ready?
Go get the rope.
145
00:07:11,873 --> 00:07:13,407
[barking]
146
00:07:16,018 --> 00:07:18,951
Uh... [scoffs] I get it.
You like to pick your own toys.
147
00:07:21,082 --> 00:07:22,182
[Snowball whines]
148
00:07:22,317 --> 00:07:25,685
Hey.
So, how was your grand buddy?
149
00:07:25,821 --> 00:07:29,291
She's okay.
I'm definitely bringing
some manga next time.
150
00:07:31,161 --> 00:07:33,770
Did the first family
like Snowball?
151
00:07:33,905 --> 00:07:37,266
Well, they loved him at first,
but he wasn't that into them.
152
00:07:37,401 --> 00:07:39,334
Especially when they tried
to pick him up.
153
00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:41,436
[doorbell rings]
154
00:07:41,571 --> 00:07:44,073
Oh. Okay, Snowball,
here's your second chance.
155
00:07:44,209 --> 00:07:46,345
Time to be
on your best behavior.
156
00:07:46,481 --> 00:07:47,912
[whines, grumbles]
157
00:07:48,048 --> 00:07:50,015
-Hey, Snowball, stop.
-[growls, barking]
158
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,688
[sighs]
159
00:07:56,456 --> 00:07:59,893
Okay. Come on, Snowball.
Do you wanna play?
Do you wanna play?
160
00:08:01,423 --> 00:08:04,233
H-He just takes a minute
to warm up.
161
00:08:04,369 --> 00:08:06,460
That's fine. We're in no rush.
162
00:08:07,572 --> 00:08:11,471
-[whimpers]
-Aw, he is tired.
163
00:08:11,606 --> 00:08:13,869
[chuckles] Come here, you.
164
00:08:14,005 --> 00:08:18,845
[Snowball growls, whines]
165
00:08:18,980 --> 00:08:21,082
I don't think
he wants to be held right now.
166
00:08:21,217 --> 00:08:22,250
[chuckles]
167
00:08:22,385 --> 00:08:24,114
No worries. [laughs]
168
00:08:24,249 --> 00:08:26,583
We'll just pet you, Snowball.
Is that okay?
169
00:08:26,719 --> 00:08:28,515
[growls, whimpers]
170
00:08:29,390 --> 00:08:30,352
Uh...
171
00:08:32,088 --> 00:08:33,454
Doesn't want that either.
172
00:08:35,530 --> 00:08:37,326
[both chuckle]
173
00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:53,914
-Hey, Maria,
I'm actually glad you called.
-Lizzie, check this out.
174
00:08:56,547 --> 00:08:58,950
I got Eddie a warming rock,
a hollow log hidey-hole
175
00:08:59,086 --> 00:09:00,848
and a ton of fresh vegetation
to munch on.
176
00:09:00,984 --> 00:09:02,759
Right. About that.
177
00:09:02,894 --> 00:09:05,322
I've been doing some research,
and I'm gonna be honest.
178
00:09:05,458 --> 00:09:08,729
I don't think the class pet
program is such a great idea.
179
00:09:08,864 --> 00:09:11,299
Really? I think
it's a great program.
180
00:09:11,434 --> 00:09:14,930
Well, if you're considering
the welfare of Eddie
or any animal,
181
00:09:15,066 --> 00:09:16,604
it's not such a great program.
182
00:09:16,739 --> 00:09:19,168
I am considering
Eddie's welfare,
183
00:09:19,303 --> 00:09:21,677
and I'm taking
really good care of him.
184
00:09:21,812 --> 00:09:23,576
That's--
That's not what I'm saying.
185
00:09:23,711 --> 00:09:25,242
Then what are you saying?
186
00:09:26,583 --> 00:09:28,408
Eddie deserves consistent care,
187
00:09:28,544 --> 00:09:30,750
not to be passed around
every two weeks.
188
00:09:30,885 --> 00:09:32,621
I'm going to Mr. Griffin
to ask him
189
00:09:32,756 --> 00:09:34,519
to end the class pet
program tomorrow.
190
00:09:34,654 --> 00:09:37,788
I can't believe
you'd go to Mr. Griffin
without talking to me first.
191
00:09:37,924 --> 00:09:39,152
That's what we're doing now.
192
00:09:39,287 --> 00:09:41,160
No, we're not talking.
193
00:09:41,296 --> 00:09:43,699
You're just telling me what
you've already decided to do.
194
00:09:43,835 --> 00:09:46,194
Like you did
with the debate T-shirts.
195
00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:48,237
You're still mad
about the T-shirts?
196
00:09:48,372 --> 00:09:51,464
No. I'm mad at you
because we're supposed
to be best friends,
197
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,308
but you don't seem to care
what I think.
198
00:09:53,444 --> 00:09:55,238
That's not true, Maria.
199
00:09:55,374 --> 00:09:57,345
I'm just trying to do
what's right for Eddie.
200
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:58,682
And I'm not?
201
00:10:00,451 --> 00:10:01,810
I need to feed him.
202
00:10:01,945 --> 00:10:02,818
[computer beeps]
203
00:10:05,849 --> 00:10:07,119
[sighs]
204
00:10:17,093 --> 00:10:18,295
Ready to head out?
205
00:10:19,469 --> 00:10:21,628
[sighs] If we have to.
206
00:10:23,103 --> 00:10:25,303
That excited to see
your grand buddy?
207
00:10:25,438 --> 00:10:28,869
She just sits in a chair
and reads. But it-- It's cool.
208
00:10:29,004 --> 00:10:30,346
It's cool?
209
00:10:30,482 --> 00:10:31,877
I mean, it's no big deal.
210
00:10:32,012 --> 00:10:33,508
She doesn't want me
there anyway.
211
00:10:35,116 --> 00:10:37,047
Charles, if she didn't
want you to come back,
212
00:10:37,182 --> 00:10:38,722
I'm sure
we'd have heard about it.
213
00:10:38,857 --> 00:10:41,690
I don't know.
We have nothing in common.
214
00:10:41,826 --> 00:10:43,755
Everyone has something
in common,
215
00:10:43,890 --> 00:10:47,291
no matter how old or young
you are, what you look like
or where you come from.
216
00:10:47,426 --> 00:10:50,129
Sometimes it just takes
a minute to figure it out.
217
00:10:50,929 --> 00:10:52,460
I know you, Charles.
218
00:10:52,596 --> 00:10:55,063
If you want to find
that connection, you will.
219
00:10:55,199 --> 00:10:57,605
But if you don't, it's cool.
220
00:10:57,740 --> 00:10:59,809
[chuckles] Meet you in the car.
221
00:11:06,074 --> 00:11:07,410
[whimpers]
222
00:11:08,485 --> 00:11:09,909
[Charles] Hi, Rose.
223
00:11:10,045 --> 00:11:11,381
Charlie.
224
00:11:12,421 --> 00:11:13,422
[chuckles]
225
00:11:13,558 --> 00:11:15,951
Oh, good. You brought lunch.
226
00:11:16,086 --> 00:11:17,551
Anything but kebabs.
227
00:11:17,686 --> 00:11:20,962
Every other day here is
some type of kebabs.
228
00:11:21,098 --> 00:11:24,029
[chuckles] It's not lunch.
This is Snowball.
229
00:11:24,165 --> 00:11:26,462
He's the foster dog
I wanted you to meet.
230
00:11:26,598 --> 00:11:30,706
Charles, I did not approve
of a second guest.
231
00:11:30,842 --> 00:11:33,204
I mean, I barely approve
of you being here.
232
00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:35,210
Well, I thought
that you might wanna meet him.
233
00:11:35,345 --> 00:11:36,571
I'm sorry.
234
00:11:37,438 --> 00:11:39,244
I am not a dog person.
235
00:11:41,278 --> 00:11:44,584
Oh. [stammers] Don't worry.
I mean, you won't even
notice he's here.
236
00:11:44,719 --> 00:11:47,087
[sniffing, barking]
237
00:11:47,222 --> 00:11:49,014
[scoffs] See?
Kinda does his own thing.
238
00:11:49,150 --> 00:11:50,255
Clearly.
239
00:11:54,556 --> 00:11:56,965
We actually found him
in the park.
240
00:11:57,101 --> 00:11:59,965
He built his own home
in the bushes and everything.
241
00:12:00,101 --> 00:12:02,665
Oh, you think
that's something, huh?
242
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,539
I spent 13 months
freezing my tail off
in Denali, Alaska,
243
00:12:07,675 --> 00:12:11,573
marching with
the Athabascan tribe
to protect their land rights.
244
00:12:12,482 --> 00:12:13,476
Wow. [chuckles]
245
00:12:14,609 --> 00:12:16,776
"Wow" is right.
And you know what?
246
00:12:20,715 --> 00:12:24,157
The tribe made me this
as a thank-you.
247
00:12:30,999 --> 00:12:34,103
-What do you think?
-Whoa.
248
00:12:34,239 --> 00:12:37,504
Isn't that somethin'? [chuckles]
You be careful with that, huh?
249
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,172
[grumbles, barks]
250
00:12:40,344 --> 00:12:41,902
[barking]
251
00:12:42,038 --> 00:12:43,572
[laughs]
252
00:12:44,849 --> 00:12:47,383
He got that ball
from Jerry's walker.
253
00:12:47,518 --> 00:12:50,077
-[laughing]
-Oh.
254
00:12:50,212 --> 00:12:51,712
Snowball, no.
255
00:12:52,457 --> 00:12:54,350
No, no, it's fine.
256
00:12:54,486 --> 00:12:57,588
He has a sock drawer
full of 'em. [laughs]
257
00:12:57,724 --> 00:12:59,159
[barks]
258
00:13:02,058 --> 00:13:03,055
Whoo-hoo.
259
00:13:03,191 --> 00:13:04,263
[barks]
260
00:13:05,402 --> 00:13:07,268
[laughing]
261
00:13:07,404 --> 00:13:09,070
Oh, boy.
262
00:13:09,868 --> 00:13:11,401
[sighs]
263
00:13:11,537 --> 00:13:13,672
That's the most I've laughed
in quite a while.
264
00:13:13,808 --> 00:13:15,307
[Snowball barking]
265
00:13:17,311 --> 00:13:19,738
What kind of dog is that,
anyways?
266
00:13:19,874 --> 00:13:21,711
He's a West Highland terrier
from Scotland.
267
00:13:21,846 --> 00:13:23,412
Ah.
268
00:13:23,547 --> 00:13:25,978
[Scottish accent]
Are you now?
269
00:13:26,113 --> 00:13:30,726
Well, how 'bout you get
that ball just a wee bit closer
270
00:13:30,861 --> 00:13:33,528
so I can kick it back
for ya? Huh?
271
00:13:33,663 --> 00:13:36,856
[grumbles, whines]
272
00:13:36,991 --> 00:13:39,092
[normal voice] Well,
he's a stubborn one, isn't he?
273
00:13:39,228 --> 00:13:40,233
He sure is.
274
00:13:41,838 --> 00:13:43,733
Reminds me of someone I know.
275
00:13:43,868 --> 00:13:45,040
Who?
276
00:13:47,509 --> 00:13:48,439
Ah.
277
00:13:57,216 --> 00:13:58,449
You ready for a break, hon?
278
00:14:00,751 --> 00:14:02,651
Been working on your homework
for quite a while.
279
00:14:03,955 --> 00:14:05,225
I'm good.
280
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,759
And it's not homework.
It's a pros and cons list.
281
00:14:07,894 --> 00:14:10,423
-Ooh. What are we "pro-ing"
and "con-ing"?
-Class pets.
282
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,260
-Ah. Hmm.
-[sighs]
283
00:14:12,396 --> 00:14:13,961
I'm trying my best to be fair,
284
00:14:14,096 --> 00:14:17,204
but I'm having
a really hard time
coming up with any pros,
285
00:14:17,339 --> 00:14:20,703
except that I'd still be
talking to my best friend.
286
00:14:20,839 --> 00:14:23,112
You know, if you listen
to Maria's side of things,
287
00:14:23,247 --> 00:14:25,480
I wouldn't be surprised
if you came up with a few more.
288
00:14:25,615 --> 00:14:26,708
But she's wrong.
289
00:14:26,843 --> 00:14:28,650
I'm not saying
you need to agree with her,
290
00:14:28,786 --> 00:14:30,079
but it never hurts to listen.
291
00:14:30,214 --> 00:14:31,815
[footsteps approach]
292
00:14:31,951 --> 00:14:35,784
Mom, why did you wash this?
It's Snowball's favorite.
Remember?
293
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:38,489
Hate to break it to you,
but I think Snowball's moved on.
294
00:14:41,365 --> 00:14:42,262
Oh.
295
00:14:43,467 --> 00:14:44,396
[whines]
296
00:14:48,501 --> 00:14:50,831
-[Charles] Come on, Snowball.
-[sniffing]
297
00:14:52,135 --> 00:14:53,033
[whines]
298
00:14:53,169 --> 00:14:54,109
[barks]
299
00:14:56,145 --> 00:14:58,873
-Hey, you're back.
-[whines]
300
00:14:59,008 --> 00:15:01,985
You know you're only required
to be here twice a week.
301
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,885
Well, I wanted to return this.
Snowball took it.
302
00:15:05,020 --> 00:15:07,848
Oh. I wondered where that went.
303
00:15:07,983 --> 00:15:10,215
And he's been sleeping with it
ever since we left.
304
00:15:10,351 --> 00:15:11,792
Really?
305
00:15:11,928 --> 00:15:13,656
Yeah. It means he likes you.
306
00:15:14,357 --> 00:15:15,288
A lot. [chuckles]
307
00:15:15,423 --> 00:15:17,528
[barking]
308
00:15:17,664 --> 00:15:20,026
Well, I'd love to give it
to ya, hon, but--
309
00:15:20,162 --> 00:15:23,366
No, you should keep it. And
you should keep Snowball too.
310
00:15:23,501 --> 00:15:26,334
-Oh, me? Adopt a dog?
-[whines]
311
00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:28,202
Oh, no, no, no, no. I can't.
312
00:15:28,337 --> 00:15:29,473
Yes, you can.
313
00:15:29,608 --> 00:15:31,704
Snowball is the easiest puppy
I've ever met.
314
00:15:31,839 --> 00:15:33,708
You'd barely have to do
anything.
315
00:15:33,843 --> 00:15:36,379
He's really independent.
He's just like you.
316
00:15:36,514 --> 00:15:38,054
Well... [stammers]
...Charlie, I--
317
00:15:38,189 --> 00:15:40,479
And I know you like him,
even if you say you don't.
318
00:15:40,614 --> 00:15:41,989
Of course I like him.
319
00:15:42,124 --> 00:15:44,154
-I like him a whole lot.
-[barks]
320
00:15:44,290 --> 00:15:45,888
So why won't you adopt him?
321
00:15:46,024 --> 00:15:46,953
[sighs]
322
00:15:48,063 --> 00:15:50,431
They don't allow dogs here.
323
00:15:50,567 --> 00:15:52,224
[whines]
324
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,927
[sighs]
325
00:16:10,717 --> 00:16:13,251
Did you really make
a class pets pros and cons list?
326
00:16:13,386 --> 00:16:15,754
Of course I did.
And you did too.
327
00:16:15,889 --> 00:16:17,292
Obviously.
328
00:16:17,427 --> 00:16:20,219
[Mrs. Dunn] All right, debaters.
Let's open up the floor.
329
00:16:20,354 --> 00:16:23,665
Our two co-captains,
Lizzie and Maria,
will start us off.
330
00:16:23,801 --> 00:16:24,826
Have you picked a topic?
331
00:16:26,132 --> 00:16:27,393
[both] Class--
332
00:16:27,529 --> 00:16:29,396
Pets? [scoffs]
333
00:16:29,531 --> 00:16:32,364
I mean, technically,
we don't have
an actual "no pets" rule.
334
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:36,168
-Wait-- Where did my pen go?
-Well, then Rose can adopt
Snowball.
335
00:16:36,304 --> 00:16:38,910
-I don't think it's a good idea.
-But you just said that--
336
00:16:39,046 --> 00:16:40,611
I know. But...
337
00:16:42,318 --> 00:16:44,283
I'm worried Rose
doesn't have the stamina
338
00:16:44,419 --> 00:16:46,186
to take care of
a dog on her own.
339
00:16:46,322 --> 00:16:48,581
Yeah, but Snowball
takes care of himself.
340
00:16:48,717 --> 00:16:52,128
And that's why he's perfect
for her. You won't even
notice he's here.
341
00:16:52,263 --> 00:16:55,961
Charles, I appreciate
you looking out for Rose.
342
00:16:56,097 --> 00:16:57,926
Thank you. And trust me,
343
00:16:58,061 --> 00:17:01,234
our residents' best interests
are my top priority too.
344
00:17:01,370 --> 00:17:03,572
But my staff is
stretched thin as it is,
345
00:17:03,707 --> 00:17:06,901
and I'm afraid a dog
would mean one more thing
for us to worry about.
346
00:17:16,547 --> 00:17:19,585
Our first topic is class pets.
347
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,120
Lizzie and Maria have asked
to go head-to-head.
348
00:17:22,256 --> 00:17:25,255
Maria is pro, Lizzie is con.
349
00:17:25,391 --> 00:17:27,423
Good luck.
Don't need it.
350
00:17:27,558 --> 00:17:30,457
The pro side begins. Maria?
351
00:17:30,592 --> 00:17:31,767
Thank you, Mrs. Dunn.
352
00:17:31,903 --> 00:17:33,466
Fellow debate club members,
353
00:17:33,601 --> 00:17:35,895
a class pet is a great addition
to any classroom,
354
00:17:36,030 --> 00:17:38,106
benefiting both students
and teachers.
355
00:17:38,242 --> 00:17:39,599
-Wh--
-What about the pet, Maria?
356
00:17:39,735 --> 00:17:41,006
How does it benefit them?
357
00:17:41,142 --> 00:17:42,842
The answer? It doesn't.
358
00:17:42,977 --> 00:17:45,940
Lizzie, you know
you have to wait
to give your rebuttal.
359
00:17:47,249 --> 00:17:49,777
Yeah, you're right.
I know that.
360
00:17:49,912 --> 00:17:51,682
She knows that,
but she doesn't care.
361
00:17:51,818 --> 00:17:55,352
She's already made up her mind
like she always does.
362
00:17:55,487 --> 00:17:57,550
Always, Maria? [scoffs] Really?
363
00:17:57,685 --> 00:17:58,557
Pretty much.
Okay.
364
00:18:01,931 --> 00:18:05,357
I'm not sure
what's going on here,
but if you wanna continue,
365
00:18:05,493 --> 00:18:08,661
you both need to listen
and treat each other
with respect.
366
00:18:08,797 --> 00:18:11,900
You're co-captains. Leaders.
367
00:18:12,877 --> 00:18:14,243
Can we please act like it?
368
00:18:16,977 --> 00:18:21,380
You know, we're also
best friends. At least
I hope we still are.
369
00:18:21,516 --> 00:18:23,142
[Mrs. Dunn] Maria,
do you wanna continue?
370
00:18:25,121 --> 00:18:28,618
As I was saying,
class pets give teachers
a built-in educational tool
371
00:18:28,754 --> 00:18:31,658
teaching kids responsibility
and empathy.
372
00:18:31,794 --> 00:18:34,626
Taking care of small animals can
lead to kids being more prepared
373
00:18:34,761 --> 00:18:38,499
to take care of larger ones
like cats and dogs.
374
00:18:38,634 --> 00:18:41,295
Also, for kids who aren't
allowed to have pets at home,
375
00:18:41,431 --> 00:18:44,905
they get to experience
something they wouldn't
have been able to.
376
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,708
While some kids might
take better care of
their class pets than others,
377
00:18:48,843 --> 00:18:51,313
they will all learn
the invaluable lesson
of compassion.
378
00:18:55,051 --> 00:18:58,553
While well-intentioned,
the class pet program is
disorienting for the animal.
379
00:18:58,688 --> 00:19:01,922
Animals of all sizes need time
to build up a sense of trust,
380
00:19:02,057 --> 00:19:05,294
and they can't do that
if they're being passed around
from house to house.
381
00:19:11,834 --> 00:19:15,202
But Maria made
some pretty good points
I hadn't thought of.
382
00:19:15,337 --> 00:19:19,069
Taking care of another
living creature is the most
important thing we can do.
383
00:19:19,205 --> 00:19:20,100
For them...
384
00:19:21,570 --> 00:19:23,479
and for us.
385
00:19:23,614 --> 00:19:26,777
But not if it risks hurting
the living creature in question.
386
00:19:28,816 --> 00:19:31,683
[chuckles] I'm sorry,
did you two just switch sides?
387
00:19:34,315 --> 00:19:37,524
No, actually,
I think we're on the same side.
388
00:19:41,690 --> 00:19:42,898
[school bell rings]
389
00:19:43,034 --> 00:19:45,596
[sighs] Well, now I'm torn.
390
00:19:45,732 --> 00:19:48,403
The class pet program has
a lot of merit,
391
00:19:48,538 --> 00:19:51,868
but an animal's well-being
does take precedence.
392
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:57,846
Mr. Griffin, what if
we replaced the class pet...
393
00:19:57,981 --> 00:20:00,107
With a class plant?
394
00:20:00,243 --> 00:20:03,486
They also need TLC,
and it'll teach responsibility.
395
00:20:03,621 --> 00:20:06,685
And a plant won't get upset
about moving from home to home.
396
00:20:07,652 --> 00:20:10,018
I actually love that idea.
397
00:20:12,159 --> 00:20:15,858
Here you go. Just please
take better care of him
than I did. Hmm?
398
00:20:15,993 --> 00:20:17,927
[chuckles] Don't worry.
He's in good hands.
399
00:20:19,732 --> 00:20:21,796
Now, what are we gonna do
about Eddie?
400
00:20:21,931 --> 00:20:23,867
I think that
Maria should keep him.
401
00:20:25,672 --> 00:20:28,837
I would love that,
and so would my dad.
402
00:20:28,972 --> 00:20:30,936
He and Eddie have gotten
pretty tight.
403
00:20:31,072 --> 00:20:33,113
[chuckles]
Sounds perfect.
404
00:20:33,249 --> 00:20:34,615
[mouthing words] Thank you.
405
00:20:34,750 --> 00:20:37,648
And moving forward, anytime
we disagree on something,
406
00:20:37,784 --> 00:20:39,616
no matter how right
we may think we are...
407
00:20:39,751 --> 00:20:42,357
We will always
hear each other out.
408
00:20:42,493 --> 00:20:45,286
On that note, the shirts
do look better in red.
409
00:20:45,422 --> 00:20:46,329
Really?
410
00:20:47,795 --> 00:20:50,426
I don't know. The yellow
is starting to grow on me.
411
00:20:50,561 --> 00:20:51,961
[laughs]
[chuckles]
412
00:20:54,764 --> 00:20:56,768
Charles, have you seen...
413
00:20:59,337 --> 00:21:00,469
anybody?
414
00:21:00,604 --> 00:21:01,973
[laughs] Follow me.
415
00:21:02,109 --> 00:21:03,071
[sighs]
416
00:21:08,142 --> 00:21:10,744
-[laughing, chattering]
-[barking]
417
00:21:10,879 --> 00:21:12,587
What's this all about?
418
00:21:12,723 --> 00:21:14,588
-Proof that
Snowball belongs here.
-[barks]
419
00:21:16,451 --> 00:21:20,725
Hey, Lloyd. Was there
a dog here the whole time?
420
00:21:20,861 --> 00:21:23,728
Had I known, I would've
come outside ages ago.
421
00:21:23,863 --> 00:21:26,393
Shame on you
for keeping it a secret, Lloyd.
422
00:21:26,529 --> 00:21:27,931
[laughs]
423
00:21:29,330 --> 00:21:32,001
Hey, Lloyd.
Anything I can help you with?
424
00:21:32,967 --> 00:21:34,199
I mean, anything at all?
425
00:21:34,335 --> 00:21:36,637
No, Jerry, I'm good.
But thanks for asking.
426
00:21:36,773 --> 00:21:38,477
Aw, anytime, my friend.
427
00:21:38,613 --> 00:21:40,180
Oh, and by the way,
by the way, uh--
428
00:21:40,315 --> 00:21:42,247
-You dropped this.
-Oh.
429
00:21:42,383 --> 00:21:46,483
You know, I think Snowball
would make a wonderful addition
to the community.
430
00:21:46,618 --> 00:21:48,853
I get it, Jerry. [laughs]
431
00:21:51,853 --> 00:21:53,859
So, what do you think?
432
00:21:53,994 --> 00:21:57,032
Everyone is so much happier
with Snowball here.
433
00:21:57,167 --> 00:22:00,031
[Rose] Oh, hey, Lloyd.
434
00:22:00,166 --> 00:22:04,132
Why don't you come over here
and throw the ball for Snowball?
435
00:22:04,267 --> 00:22:07,405
I would, but I'm doing
my physical therapy,
436
00:22:07,541 --> 00:22:09,603
which you know I just love.
437
00:22:09,738 --> 00:22:10,712
[Snowball barks]
438
00:22:10,847 --> 00:22:11,744
So?
439
00:22:13,776 --> 00:22:15,946
You got it, Rose.
440
00:22:16,082 --> 00:22:18,713
Good, I'm so glad.
Look at this little thing.
441
00:22:18,849 --> 00:22:21,215
-[Lloyd laughs]
-[barks]
442
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,959

443
00:22:25,094 --> 00:22:26,154
[all chuckle]
444
00:22:27,798 --> 00:22:28,922
Ooh.
445
00:22:29,057 --> 00:22:30,389
[laughing, chattering continues]
446
00:22:36,866 --> 00:22:39,872
-You're sure?
-Yeah.
447
00:22:40,008 --> 00:22:43,376
Yeah, I don't think
Ulysses S. Plant is
gonna make it.
448
00:22:43,511 --> 00:22:44,972
Not with that attitude he won't.
449
00:22:45,107 --> 00:22:46,746
I've taken care of
so many puppies.
450
00:22:46,881 --> 00:22:48,578
You'd think
I'd be able to handle this.
451
00:22:48,714 --> 00:22:50,783
Maybe he needs some sunlight.
452
00:22:50,919 --> 00:22:52,587
-I'll take him out front.
-Thanks, Charles.
453
00:22:54,621 --> 00:22:57,216
Hey, Charlie. I let myself in.
454
00:22:57,352 --> 00:22:58,989
-[chuckles] I can see that.
-Oh.
455
00:23:00,396 --> 00:23:01,827
This is my grand buddy, Rose.
456
00:23:01,963 --> 00:23:04,764
-[both chuckle] Hi.
-[Charles] Snowball's new owner.
457
00:23:04,899 --> 00:23:07,760
Well, more like a friend
than an owner. [laughs]
458
00:23:07,895 --> 00:23:09,996
[whines, barks]
459
00:23:10,132 --> 00:23:11,474
-[Rose laughs]
-[Paul chuckles]
460
00:23:14,837 --> 00:23:17,108
Hey, look at you.
461
00:23:17,243 --> 00:23:19,780
We were just getting ready
to drop him at your place.
462
00:23:19,915 --> 00:23:23,976
Well, you know, Lloyd suggested
that I walk here instead
463
00:23:24,112 --> 00:23:25,553
because it was good exercise.
464
00:23:25,689 --> 00:23:28,385
-And I did not fight him.
-[chuckles]
465
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,126
-Oh, we give him
enough grief as it is.
-[both chuckle]
466
00:23:31,262 --> 00:23:33,221
Okay, Snowball. Ready to go?
467
00:23:35,597 --> 00:23:37,660
-[barking]
-Ugh. [laughs]
468
00:23:37,796 --> 00:23:39,761
From Snowball, that's a "yes."
469
00:23:39,896 --> 00:23:42,197
And that's why I love him.
470
00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:45,805
Hey, Rose. I know the
grand buddies program is over,
471
00:23:45,941 --> 00:23:48,376
but maybe I could still come
visit you and Snowball?
472
00:23:48,511 --> 00:23:51,041
Oh, honey, absolutely.
[chuckles]
473
00:23:51,176 --> 00:23:53,839
-Just, if you bring lunch--
-No kebabs. I got it.
474
00:23:53,974 --> 00:23:55,482
That's right.
475
00:23:55,617 --> 00:23:58,619
Okay, Snowball.
I'm comin' for ya.
476
00:23:58,754 --> 00:24:00,622
