Dialogue
[edit]- Andi: You know, I think we might be in a little over our heads.
- Dave: It's four-six; we're out dogged.
- Bruce: If you look at it, dogs have three basic needs. That's-- that's eating, sleeping, and peeing and pooping.
- Andi: That's four.
- Bruce: No, I think peeing and pooping is one.
- Heather: Uh, I've stepped in both and I have to disagree.
- [Lois and Carl have discovered the hotel for dogs and find that Andi and Bruce have been stealing from them.]
- Carl: Hey, there's my wah-wah pedal! No wonder my sound's been off.
- Lois: [in disbelief] Yeah, that's why.
- Carl: [he looks around the hotel] This crap is amazing.
- Lois: Yeah, 'cause it's our crap! They've been robbing us blind!
- [Lois and Carl have fallen down the poop chute into a dumpster full of bags of dog poop.]
- Lois: Where are we?
- Carl: We're in deep doo-doo.
- [In the hotel for dogs, Lenny the dog is howling because the window blind is down.]
- Woman on cell phone: [talking to police] Yes, I'd like to call in a complaint about a howling dog.
- [The kids open the window blind and Lenny stops howling.]
- Woman on cell phone: Um...never mind.
- Andi: [the police see them where a store was broken into, the thieves just got away] We can't get in trouble again!
- Bruce: We didn't do anything.
- Andi: You want to tell them that?
