It ain't easy being a snowflake.
You go where the wind takes you.
You aren't sure if you're about
to land with some of your pals
or on a pile of salt.
You might be asking,
"Is this a story
about the journey of
a little snowflake that could?"
No.
This is the story of a girl
and her dog.
Jenna got the surprise
of her life
when Charlie showed up
one magical Christmas.
Robert, Zoe,
and Grandpa Peter
couldn't have been happier
for Jenna.
Jenna and Charlie
were best friends.
Charlie followed Jenna
everywhere.
Outside of the rare day of
being late for school
Jenna and Charlie
had the happiest little life.
Jenna's parents,
Robert and Zoe
were inventors together
at Pet Wizard.
Charlie got bigger and bigger
helping around the house
when he could.
Things couldn't have
been better.
One day, suddenly,
all that changed.
Zoe got sick and passed away.
And the happy little family
seemed to just disappear.
Robert buried himself
in his work.
Without Zoe around
Robert's inventions
didn't work so well.
Time went on.
And Christmas
was eventually forgotten.
Robert and Grandpa Peter
had a big fight
and stopped talking.
Charlie tried to write
to Grandpa Peter.
Hopefully, he could
come around again
and bring Christmas with him.
And maybe he would have.
If it wasn't for any dog's
greatest nemesis
the mailman.

Dad, I'm late.
Again.
Slept through your alarm again,
huh, sweetie? Ow!
The one you said
you'd fix last week?
- Mm-hmm.
- That hasn't worked ever.
Good morning to you,
sweetie.
Did you stay up all night again?
Dad, you were supposed
to wake me up.
Uh-huh.
I've been late every day
since October.
Are you even listening?
Mm-hmm, sweetie.
Did you feed Charlie yet?
Urgh!
What was that
about October?
OK, here we go again.
Oh, fire in the hole.
Dog food sequence initiated.
Remember to duck,
remember to duck.
Remember to duck,
remember to duck.
Remember to duck,
remember to duck.
Remember to duck.
- Remember to duck!
- Must recalibrate.
Three, two, one, go time!
Initiating breakfast sequence.
System fail, system fail,
system fail.
Breakfast sequence fail.
Come on, Jenna! You're gonna be late.
Not happy.
Disappointed in self.
Computer depressed.
- When do I get my dad back?
- I just upgraded it.
Cyber cellular,
AR vocabulary, so.
I'm late for school.
If my calculations
are correct...
I've decided to drop out,
move away
and live on the street.
A working beta prototype
by early next Christmas.
The house is on fire.
Which reminds me...
you feed Charlie yet?
Sure am gonna miss
Christmas this year, Dad.
Have a good day.
Bye, Charlie.
Jenna!
You're gonna be
late for school.
Better hurry up!
Ai-ai-ai, dude. Get a grip.
So this Christmas
was already looking
about as promising as
a fork in a soup-eating contest.
Jenna and Charlie weren't
the only ones
trying to get into
the Christmas spirit.
Let's take a trip across town.
No, the other way.
No, a right.
No, your other right.
Meet Benny and Lenny.
These two gems may not
be able to spell the word "con"
but they seem to be
pretty good at it.
OK, "pretty good" might
have been a stretch.
OK, functional,
barely functional.
Regardless, I wouldn't
trust these two
around a blind grandmother.
Can you spare some change?
More on that later.
- Ma'am?
- Stop, stop.
Keep going.
What's this guy looking at?
This just ain't cuttin' it.
Where you going?
Where you going?
I want a hot dog.
How much is it for a hot dog?
I don't know.
What is that, $1.50, $2?
We got to come up with
a bigger plan.
How much is in the can?
Nothing, you see.
We're on a donut ski.
- A what?
- Donut ski.
I don't know what that is.
Donut, the big fat donut.
I don't want a donut.
I want a hot dog.
How much a hot dog cost?
I said we're on the donut.
I didn't say you want a donut.
I'm not on any donut.
If I was, I would've eaten it.
Never mind.
Just come up with something
better, alright?
This is not cutting it.
What's better than a hot dog?
Definitely not a donut.
No, I said donut,
that we're on a donut.
We got nothing.
Start thinking about what
we're gonna do, alright?
I don't like thinking.
It makes my head hurt.
Can't do that.
Hey, hon.
Long day at school?
Why do we have to move, Dad?
You can be an inventor here.
Without leaving all my friends.
You're gonna make new ones.
We're both gonna have
to adjust a little bit.
Besides, you got Charlie here
to keep you company.
You'll always have me, Jenna.
Hey, what do you say
we cheer up Jenna, Charlie?
Yeah...
Hmm?
I have fleas.
What? No, I don't!
Big radioactive fleas.
I don't!
May still have to work out
a few bugs, Dad.
Don't you mean fleas?
This whole holiday
is infested with fleas.
With the move and everything,
we're gonna miss Christmas.
Huh? Who's missing Christmas?
We can't miss Christmas.
Whoa, hey, nobody
is gonna miss Christmas, OK?
Ever since Mum d*ed...
you don't even
call Grandpa anymore.
All you do is work on that
hunk of junk.
You're not really in the
Christmas spirit this year
are you, Charlie?
Yeah.
I didn't think so.
Maybe we'll some friends
for you, too.
I wish you really could talk.
I wish I could help.
♪ Should auld acquaintance
be forgot ♪
♪ And never brought to mind... ♪
Early Christmas present.
Wow.
- Thanks, Dad.
- Yeah, and I pre-programmed
all your friends' numbers in there,
so you can stay in touch.
What about Grandpa Peter?
One step at a time.
You know, really am gonna
miss this place.
What do you say, Charlie?
Ready to hit the road?
Come on, guys.
Well, it was a time
for new beginnings.
A new chapter.
A fresh start.
A beautiful, uh...
Uh...
They're moving.
Charlie tried to cheer Jenna up,
but to no avail.
Robert thought singing popular
Christmas tunes would help.
He was mistaken.
Home, sweet home.
Well, here we are.
What do you think?
It has potential.
Yeah.
What do you think, Charlie?
Huh, neighbourhood
looks to be in order.
No mailman in sight.
Whoa, definite potential.
She's stunning.
Oh no, she's coming this way.
I can't meet her now.
I'm not ready.
Think, Charlie, think!
- Hi, there.
- Now where did I leave that box?
- Maybe it's over here.
- Um, hello?
Ooh, uh, what... what's he doing?
Can you hear me?
I know I left it
somewhere over here.
Oh hey, Jenna!
I'll be right with you.
You must be Robert.
I'm Holly.
- Oh, uh, hi.
- What's her name?
- Gidget.
- Hi, Gidget.
- Hey, girl.
- I'm Jenna.
Hi, Jenna.
Well, welcome aboard, neighbour.
I've heard a lot about you.
Pet Tech's abuzz with this
mystery project
you've been working on.
Oh, um... you work at Pet Tech?
Yup, we all do.
They treat us pretty well.
Pet Tech owns the whole block.
Oh wow, really?
I-I guess it gives new meaning
to bringing your work
home with you, huh?
Yeah, it's not so bad.
We all get along pretty great.
Well, mostly.
Oh!
Need a hand?
I'm Victor.
The engineer Pet Tech assigned
to your big secret project.
Your second in command.
Welcome.
Hi, I was just speaking to, uh...
Holly.
Uh, yeah, Holly.
Talented young lady, hmm.
Talented, talented.
- So talented.
- Uh, right.
I got your talent right here!
Can I pet your bulldog?
Oh whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's up to Vinnie P.
Put your filthy paws
on me, I keep 'em.
Need a hand?
Oh, really, no.
I think we got it.
- Some help?
- No, it's OK.
How about me and...?
Jenna.
I got plenty of muscle.
How about me and Jenna, we, uh...
Whoa, check out those g*ns!
Ah, yeah.
How about you and I give
the old man a hand here?
No, really.
I don't want to im...
Come on.
I bet he could lift
the whole truck.
He cannot lift the truck!
At least, I don't think so.
Our neighbours sure are friendly.
Maybe things won't be
so bad after all.
Hope floats.
Let's get this inside.
Uh...
Um...
OK, OK.
Um, uh, I've just... just got to,
just got to get this...
I'm gonna get
this box of paper.
And I'll... I'll be right in.
You guys... you guys just
go in without me.
Put the...
put the kettle on, OK?
Make some toast to the...
You might be asking yourself
"How can someone so completely
lack basic coordination
and balance?"
In short
I have no clue.
You might also be wondering
who is this giant, blond
tree trunk?
Victor von Manure.
Victor seemingly had it all.
A great new house,
a job at Pet Tech that he loved
and a beautiful new bride,
Brunhilda.
Brunhilda convinced Victor
they should adopt
a baby bulldog.
They named him
Vinnie Puppy.
No matter how hard Victor tried
he couldn't get his boss,
CEO Bill
to move
any of his inventions forward.
One day
CEO Bill told him he had
big news to share with him.
Victor was ecstatic.
His moment had finally come.
Unfortunately for Victor,
the big news was that
he was getting forced out
of his big house
and being downsized
across the street
so inventor Corwin
could move in.
Blinded by rage, Victor did
the only thing that made sense.
He booby-trapped the toilet.
Corwin, the inventor at Pet Tech
and new owner of
Victor's former house
invited CEO Bill and his wife
over for dinner.
Victor's evil plan worked
and Corwin was fired
after the toilet exploded on
CEO Bill's wife.
Thrilled that his plan worked
Victor bragged
and celebrated with Vinnie.
Brunhilda overheard
what happened
and was disgusted with Victor.
Just like that, she left.
Victor and Vinnie weren't
the same after that.
Victor and Vinnie bullied
everyone they came across.
Vinnie Puppy was gone,
and only Vinnie P remained.
Better step in line, mutt.
Pups that don't
don't last very long
around here, capisce?
So I think I can handle the
third-person self-indulgence and
magnified superiority complex.
But come on, dude.
Dogfather?
You really call yourself that?
I don't. They do.
Meet my crew.
Keyword: my crew.
That's two words.
Jose, Bernard, Dozer, Tiny.
And right there,
my number one dame Gidget.
Keep your paws off her.
Hola, perro.
Is you a city mutt?
Not anymore, apparently.
These are our crew, amigo.
The Dogfellas.
Ahem.
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, lo siento, sorry, Gidg.
Uh, I apologise.
I mean, not "dogfellas".
Dog people.
- Dog friends.
- Jose!
You like Christmas time,
silly mutt?
Course you do.
Tell me you do.
Enough, no more Christmas talk.
OK, OK.
I won't make the mistake again.
Thank you for correcting me.
I apologise with all my heart.
Hey, everyone home, now!
Adios, amigo.
But we will meet again.
Anytime food gets thrown out
of a restaurant on a Tuesday.
- I'll be there.
- Uh, OK, sure.
Anytime a half-eaten hamburger
gets thrown out a
station wagon window
- I'll meet you there.
- Jose!
Hopefully, after I've finished
the hamburger.
And you have to
lick the wrapper.
Um, OK.
- Enough!
- Adios, amigo.
By the way, the Dogfather goes
where the Dogfather goes.
Su casa es mi casa, capisce?
See you around.
Apologies.
What Vinnie P says usually goes.
He's OK sometimes,
but not really.
Yeah.
He seems a little...
I smell chili.
Southern bean chili.
Sheesh. This is gonna be
one rough Christmas.
Thanks again.
I think you're really gonna
like it here.
Lots of memories.
But beware that toilet.
Corwin never got it fixed.
Corwin?
Yeah, the guy
who lived here before.
Hope you're
a better project manager.
He was sort of, uh, let go.
Oh.
Yeah.
But I have a feeling you and I
will get along much better
than he and I did.
Yes, I think so, too.
Yeah.
OK. Lots of boxes.
Thank you.
Holly sure is pretty.
You know what? Let's look at
our brand new kitchen.
Do you think she's married?
Ahem. It's bigger
than our old kitchen, isn't it?
You should ask her out.
Is that a new coffee maker?
Because I'm pretty sure
it looks brand new.
I bet she likes coffee.
You know what? We should
probably start unpacking.
Maybe she can help.
Maybe you can help.
What are you so afraid of, Dad?
I'm not afraid of anything.
It's just, I've been so
- wrapped up with the project that...
- It's always about the project.
it's not about... OK.
It's not about the project.
Well, it is about the project.
I mean, sometimes
we get distracted...
Well, well, well.
What do we have here?
Oh, it's... it's really nothing.
Charlie's gonna be
the world's first talking dog.
Whoa, whoa. Now that's
something I'd like to see.
Come on now.
Sharing is caring, Rob.
- Show him, Dad.
- Yeah, show me, Dad.
No, it's just a prototype
and not a very good one.
Do pray tell.
Well, it's a device that
sits on a dog's collar.
And it picks up vibrations
like... like barking.
Or whining or growling.
Minute variations in
depth, tone, pitch and volume.
Hopefully, when it's all done
it will decipher a dog's thoughts
into uh, uh, uh...
Words?
Words.
A canine translator!
That's brilliant.
Precisely.
When can I see it?
When it's ready.
Uh-oh.
I'll hold you to that, Robert.
Come on, Vin. Let's go.
Let's blow this pupsicle stand.
But don't get too settled.
We have vacation
to think about.
Vacation?
Yeah.
Big Bear Ski Lodge.
Yearly company shindig.
Everyone's going.
- Um...
- Big Bear?
- I don't...
- Dad!
Come on.
We were hoping to have a nice
quiet family Christmas at home.
You're not gonna
do that to her, are ya?
Oh, he's good.
Awfully tough on a young girl
alone in a strange new town
during Christmas.
Now come on, you got to go.
It'll be fun.
Plus you really got to
meet everyone.
CEO Bill will be there, too.
Yeah, he called me personally.
Told me to invite you.
Oh.
Sorry he couldn't
call you directly.
Actually I spoke to Bill
the other day.
He talked at length
about snow shoes.
He went on and on.
But the problem is we don't have
anyone to watch Charlie.
So...
Covered.
Sweet young girl named Michelle
takes care of the dogs
while we're gone.
Oh.
Please, Dad.
Please, Dad.
OK, fine.
Yes!
Start packing.
Come on, Vinnie.
I think we need a new tree.
What do you mean?
What's wrong with the tree we got?
Somebody help me.
I'm falling!
Yeah, we need a new tree.
So it was off
to the Christmas tree farm.
Charlie helped Jenna and Robert
find the perfect tree.
Thankfully someone
other than Robert was there
to strap the tree in place.
Slowly but surely
the house started
coming together.
And it began to transform
into a home.
Perhaps Christmas wouldn't
be lost this year after all.
Charlie. What in the...
Let's put up
some Christmas lights.
What, uh, already?
Um, we... we haven't
finished the, um...
We're the only house
without 'em.
OK.
Jenna.
Open the door.
Locked out?
Oh, hi, um...
Christmas lights.
Oh, wow. You're dedicated.
- Yeah.
- Isn't it a little late?
Well, apparently it's very important
to my daughter Jenna
that I do it right now!
So I see you're not
hiding today.
Hiding?
Yeah.
You were spinning in circles
pretending to look for a box.
Oh, that!
Uh, I totally forgot about that.
Crazy thing. That darn box still
remains elusive to this day.
So...
Um...
A welcome to the neighbourhood
slash early Christmas gift.
My own design.
- Sorry it's not wrapped.
- Wow. What is it?
Is it a potato g*n?
Um, sort of. It's a...
These two are gonna
need our help, aren't they?
Definitely.
Maybe I could bring 'em over
for a playdate sometime?
Was that your attempt
to invite yourself over?
No! No. No.
Well, maybe.
Well, I'll let you
get back to it.
Huh. Uh, thank you.
And Merry Christmas.
Here. Corwin used to
lock himself out all the time.
They say the smart ones
are the most forgetful.
Come on, Gidg.
That play date sounds nice.
Come on, let's go.
Bye. Come on, Gidget.
Wow.
Looks like our neighbours
are getting cosy.
Yeah.
Too cosy.
- Yes?
- Good afternoon, ma'am.
Uh, we're here to...
Are you from the
Christmas decorating service?
Uh...
Yeah, we are.
Oh thank goodness,
we're waiting.
Come on in, come.
Ooh, this tea was good.
- Oh, I'm glad you liked it.
- Yeah.
You know, I cannot tell you
how happy I am
you two boys are here.
Ow! Sorry.
- What's going on?
- That's my partner.
He makes a lot of noise.
But no, he's trying to just do
something very special for you.
- Oh, thank you so much.
- Please keep it down.
You're gonna be very happy.
- I'm so appreciative...
- Love this tea.
Love this tea.
He... he... he's...
He's still making noise.
No, no.
Oh! Hey, Lenny.
- That was a big one.
- Lenny!
Please don't break anything.
- It's not broken!
- You're in good hands.
And the tree is looking good?
The tree is beautiful.
- Oh, I'm so happy.
- Very beautiful.
Shut up!
- Sorry.
- Are you sure he's OK?
He's fine. No, please just calm...
Hey, Lenny.
I think I'm gonna
go check on him.
No, that's fine.
You can sit down.
Y'know what I'm loving
is this dartboard here.
This dartboard is amazing.
I'm glad you enjoy that.
- Where'd you get the dartboard?
- That's for my grandson Billy.
- Yeah? Oh...
- He loves to play darts.
- Yeah, he got that.
- Yeah.
Wow, I would've thought
you'd give him, you know
cash or something.
Would've given him, y'know, jewellery.
Just a little old dartboard.
Just a little old dartboard?
He seems like he's
in trouble back there.
No, no, no. He's making progress.
He's almost done.
He's loading everything up.
I mean,
he's stacking everything.
And I... and I won't
trip over it?
No, you won't trip.
This place is gonna be
cleaned out.
I... I can't believe that
he's OK with all that noise.
Hey, hey, hey.
Have you lost your marbles?
Yeah. That's a little thing.
I got to remind him.
I got to remind him.
Come in!
You guys all packed up
and ready?
- Almost.
- How we doing?
Oh.
- Everyone ready to go?
- I was just leaving.
Robert's ready to go,
sleep with the fishes!
Oh my gosh.
Are you OK?
Hey, you did that on purpose.
Ow! I think I sprained my ankle,
I can't go skiing like this.
Can't never could.
You'll be fine.
Something like that would never
hold me back.
Now man up.
Come on, let's go. Get up.
I got Johnson's crutches from
last year. You could use 'em.
Well, you know, I kept 'em around
just in case.
Guy's such a klutz.
Here we go.
Hiya, I'm Michelle.
Keys please?
Oh. The, um... the spare is
under the mat in there.
And whatever you do, don't use
the bathroom downstairs.
Hi, Charlie!
Hello, hello, hello.
Hi, Holly.
Hi... OK.
Uh, thanks for doing this.
Listen, easy on the treats
this time.
OK? Gidget's tummy's been
a little sensitive.
Got it.
No treats, no problem.
- Thank you.
- You guys have fun!
Thanks.
Keys, please.
We'll be back soon, OK?
You be a good boy.
Bye, Charlie.
Goodbye, sweet prince.
Grandma. What happened?
Doesn't the place look great?
Oh, my God.
Jose! I got a specific job
for you.
What is it, boss? Tell me.
Anything, anything, anything.
Charlie, mi amigo!
Why you have no fun like
the other dogs, huh?
It's party time, man.
I don't really feel like it,
Jose.
- Can you come back another...
- Something wrong? You can tell me.
I promise I will tell everyone.
I miss my family.
Oh, sí, sí, sí, sí.
I got just the thing
to cheer you up, hombre.
- Oops!
- Whoa! Whoa!
Make yourselves at home, perros.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Why is Tiny breaking my door?
No!
Muy grande.
Delicious.
I'm so sorry.

If you ain't out of town
by tomorrow morning

except for in a pine box.
I'm taking over this territory.
From now on, it's mine.
The journey to Big Bear
was well underway.
Let's check in on our
Pet Tech road warriors.
Edward and Courtney
seem to be holding up just fine.
Oh, boy.
Johnson isn't looking so hot.
He once got seasick watching
a miniature toy boat race.
Hang in there, kid.
Well, it looks like our little
matchmaker Jenna's plan
is coming together nicely.
And wow. Victor looks like
a boiling sausage.
Meanwhile
our two Rhodes scholars
are out shopping for a new car.
Victor, fresh out of the oven
after three and a half hours
of marinating in a stew of rage
and blinding jealousy
decided it was time to launch
his devious plot.
Like any good leader
Victor sensed just when to
swoop in with a pep talk
and thoughtful encouragement.
Hello. Old blind lady
Christmas charities.
How can I be of service?
You boys ready to make
a little Christmas money?
Oh, yeah.
Are you old and blind?
It's Victor, you idiot.
- Who... who is it?
- Shut up, it's Victor.
- Oh hi, Victor. Hi!
- Shut up.
I don't have a secure line
up and running yet.
So I need both of you
to head up to Big Bear.
Yeah, uh...
It's very important.
He's saying something
about a bear.
Like Smokey the Bear?
No. Hey, Victor. What kinda bear
you talking about?
It's a place, you idiot.
Look at a map.
Today, be there.
You understand?
Meet me at Krony's.
Krony's.
You understand?
Yeah, yeah, I got it.
Great!
- Now he's mad.
- He's mad?
Yeah. Get a map or something.
Look up Big Bear.
We can use the GPS tracker
on the... on the phone.
The window is open,
you idiot.
Mail people.
Wrong place, wrong time.
This is the best job in the world...
No customers to deal with.
Great benefits.
Just cruising in the mail truck,
delivering mail.
Mail delivery.
Here, save that.
May need it later.
Cold?
- Dogs!
- Dogs?
Dogs?
They didn't tell me about dogs.
Should've been an Uber driver.
There is a... there is a dog!
Told ya!
You've come to the
wrong neighbourhood...
mailman.
Start the car!
It's still running.
I'm running. 911!
- Give me your hand. Grab my hand!
- Call him off! Cesar Millan!
- Cesar Millan!
- Come on!
It's just a dog.
Oh yeah, easy for you to say!
Now, deliver this letter.
Here we go.
Now hopefully,
this gets to Grandpa Peter
in time for Christmas.

Need a friend?
Your boyfriend know you're here?
Vinnie P is not my boyfriend.
We were just obeying orders.
Why is everyone
obeying that clown?
Vinnie P was here first.
I guess we all just
kind of followed his lead.
He wasn't always so bad.
Y'know, our humans have a way
of shaping our lives.
Get stuck with a rotten one
like Victor and, well
there you go.
Has anyone ever challenged him?
Vinnie P has a way of
making problems disappear.
But there was one dog
he could never tame.
Jefe! Jefe! Jefe!
So Gidget set off
across town to find the only dog
that had ever outsmarted
Vinnie P.
She had to dare to go to a place
that no sane dog would.
The junkyard.
And why did no dog dare enter?
There were cats.
What kind of
a disorganised trash bin...
Oliver? Oliver!
Where did I put my sandwich?
Whoa!
Gidg!
Long time no see.
What can I do you for?
Came to see an old friend.
Any luck on your search?
Nothing in here
but rotten filth.
I meant the search
for your human.
Look, if he hasn't found me
by now, I doubt I'll ever find him.
I haven't seen Corwin since
Victor got us kicked out
the house.
I thought moving into
a dumpster made sense.
They can't kick you out
of here.
Plus, no mailmen.
Oh, I'm sorry, Ollie.
C'est la vie.
What brings you out here?
I need you to meet someone.
If this has anything to do
with the Dogfather
can't help you, kid.
There will be kibble.
Which way?
Which one? Pink?
- No, the other...
- The blue, purple?
The rainbow-coloured one.
What?
Wait, wait, wait.
Yeah, that one right there.
- The blue? The pink?
- No, the other...
Make up your mind.
No, the other one.
No, that's purple.
- Benny, are you colour-blind?
- No, you said the pink one.
- Behind you.
- The rainbow-colour one.
- Lenny, what?
- Yeah.
Behind Lenny, you idiot.
Santa Claus?
- Santa!
- Santa Claus.
Here, you gotta take a picture,
take a picture.
- Yeah, yeah. Good idea.
- Hey, Santa. Santa.
Listen, I need new tyres,
a paint job. I need a new car.
You don't have a car, Lenny.
Santa?
Victor?
Get off me.
Boss, what are you doing?
Look, I wrote it all down,
so you bozos won't screw it up.
And no phone calls.
I'll contact you on my
secure line in a couple of days.
I can't stress this enough.
It's really important,
I need all of his research.
Check everywhere.
Check his computer.
His desk, the closet.
The cabinets, the bedroom
the toilets.
Toilets?
Everywhere!
Don't leave any stone unturned.
You understand?
I understand, boss.
I got it.
Hey, boss. I gotta ask you.
Why you dressed like
Santa Claus? I mean, it's not...
None of your business.
Cos I like Christmas.
That's why.
Here you go.
Half now, half upon delivery.
It's like 40 bucks.
Yeah.
That's half of the half now.
Half of the half.
Alright. I get it.
I get it.
You can count on me, boss.
I got you.
Hey, take this, you idiot.
OK.
God.
And make sure... Hey!
Yeah?
And make sure that dodo bird
doesn't go and screw it up.
I can't afford to look stupid.
OK, I got it. I'm on it.
You can trust me.
These idiots.
Hi, we're collecting
for the blind.
Your donation is a blessing.
I'm sorry.
The owner is not here.
I just walk the dogs
while they're away.
- That's a cute dog.
- Who are these clowns?
Very, very cute dog.
Hey, the smell.
They'll be back in a few days.
You can come back then.
I have to go.
Excellent.
Very excellent.
I'll be back.
Very excellent.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks, bye.
Very excellent. Bye.
I'm still... I'm still speaking.
No. No, no.
No, no, no, no.
Out, out!
Relax, dog.
Who are you and
why are you in my house?
This is him.
He's the one.
A terrier?
You're the one
that defied Vinnie P?
Name's Oliver.
And it ain't about the size
of a dog in a fight.
It's the size of
the fight in the dog.
I wanna hear all about it.
I, the great and valiant
Oliver of the dumpster
will show you the way.
But first
I was told
there would be food.
Mess with the big dog,
you're gonna get bit.
And fleas.
Shut up, you.
In the most
hardest to scratch areas.
- Shut up!
- On your backside.
And I said
terriers are the best doggone
breed there is, bull-face!
No way!
He didn't clobber you?
He couldn't catch me.
Oh man, that is great.
To be honest, Vinnie P
caught a bad rap.
Ever since Victor betrayed
Corwin and got him fired
things were different.
Victor was even married once.
He kind of lost it
when she left.
Snapped, you know?
And Vinnie P, he absorbed
all of that negativity.
That's unfortunate.
But he can be different.
No one's above change.
Don't hold your breath.
Yo, hey, come out and face me!
I'm taking back this territory.
The Dorkfather beckons.
These doggies are in for it now.
You can't take back
what was never yours.
This yard was mine.
And now it's Charlie's.
I took it from you!
I'll take it from him.
Go back to your dumpster, mutt.
Get out of my yard, Vinnie.
Make me.
You sure you want me to?

Bill!
Look, Bill. It's you.
Ah.
So it is.
I painted it myself.
Oh, ho, ho! Interesting.
Yeah.
Ah!
On behalf of the humble
Pet Tech team
thank you for bringing us
out here every 10 years.
Most generous.
I don't not disagree.
Absolutely.
Woo!
So... how'd it go
out there today?
I must have fallen
a dozen times.
I'm not feeling so well.
Still stuffed from
all the snow I ate.
I didn't fall once.
Actually, there's nothing
wrong with eating snow.
As long as it's not yellow,
that is.
Ew!
Sounds like we should have
brought along Jennifer's product.
It's, uh... it's gross, but um...
Do we really have to listen
to this while we're eating?
No, Jennifer, really, continue.
It's silly, but basically
I found a way to purify, um...
Dog pee.
Yes. Thank you, Holly.
Urine into purified
vitamin-based water.
Wow, and this is for dogs?
For anyone brave enough, really.
What's it called?
Uh, "Pee Cubed."
The pee-pee purifier.
Why isn't this in every store
across the world?
It will be next spring.
Bravo. Bravo!
While we're at it, Robert,
Holly here developed the first
pooper scooper using a
projectile discharge mechanism.
But I'm sure you knew that.
Like a potato g*n.
Got any neighbours
you don't like, Robert?
Edmund here,
creator of Ever Bath
the first canine shampoo that
will keep a dog clean forever.
Or so he claims.
And of course, Marilyn.
And she was the first woman at
Pet Tech to successfully train
guinea pigs using '80s music.
- Not bad.
- So, are we all caught up now?
And let's not forget
Robert's brilliance
by revolutionising
canine potty training
with the Poop Flush 3,000.
It's a great product.
Well, thank you.
Glad you're on board, Robert.
What are you doing next?
Oh well, it's... it's... it's...
it's a very complicated...
Wow.
Whoops.
Wow.
Wow, everybody OK?
Uh, Johnson's down, sir.
Johnson, quit messing around.
Get back up here.
Come on, buddy.
So, where were we?
Um, well, as I was saying...
Hold that page. Celebrity guests
here for the board meeting.
Big bonuses at stake,
know what I mean?
Ooh!
Thank you, sir.
Drink up. Eat up. Enjoy.
Thanks.
Johnson,
get your ass up there.
g*dd*mn embarrassing.
Sit down.
It's OK.
Shh! Shh!
What are you doing?
Come on. Shh! Shh!
Oh no! Think. Think.
I am the bone collector.
I will bury your...
Which one of these connects
to the speaker? I think it's...
- Huh?
- No.
Got it.
I am the bone collector.
I will bury your bones.
Give me your bones.
Give me your bones.
Bones, please. Your bones.
"Give me your bones"?
I am the bone collector.
I will bury your bones.
Give me your bones.
I am the bone collector.
I will bury your bones.
Give me your bones.
Give me your bones.
Bones, please, your bones.
- Oh!
- What the heck!
Holy Shih Tzu!
Get up!
Yeah.
Can we do that again?
Shut up.
You know what? My ankle's
feeling a lot better today.
I thought snowboarding
would be easier, but it's not.
It hurts.
Maybe you should hang back
with my dad tomorrow.
- Good night, guys.
- Hey, where you going?
It's an hour past my bedtime.
Good night, Jenna.
Yeah, we can
watch the soaps tomorrow.
Johnson, I heard you were
quite the collegiate athlete, huh.
Argh! I was on the debate team.
Hey, so was I.
You know what's important,
Victor?
Although you might fall,
that you get back up.
Uh, hmm, I never fall.
Ever.
I was cut off.
By a tree.
Trees can be crafty.
Yeah, you better be careful.
Next time, you might run into
an even bigger tree.
That's funny.
That's funny.
It seems to me, Robert,
a man who comes prepared.
A man who knows
when to be careful.
Yeah! Oh... Yeah.
Are we still talking
about skiing?
No.
Hey! Everyone ready?
For what?
Company game night.
Oh!
Oh! Ah...

Well...
Oh, yeah!
This is so stupid.
Look, there's something
I wanna share with you.
There's a time in
every man's life
when he starts to think to the future,
to the next chapter.
My time at Pet Tech
is just about done.
And I need someone I can trust
to take the reins
for the next 20, 25 years.
Keep my legacy alive.
It's taken a lot of thought.
But I think I know
just the man for the job.
Wow, Bill.
I'm so honoured.
I think Robert's our man.
Wait.
- What? What, the new guy?
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but you hardly know him.
I know.
Bold move, right?
Yeah, but I've been
at the company for 15 years.
Which makes you perfect
for the man
to help him learn the ropes.
I mean, he's a real talent.
That's why I brought him in,
obviously.
But someone has got to
watch his back and support him.
And as my longstanding
senior manager
with a heart of gold,
and a brain of platinum
I know you are just the guy.
Yes.
You know me well, Bill.
Thank you.
Let's get drunk.
Ah.
I'm so glad we had that talk!
Johnson! Wow, I see you take
your downtime quite literally.
Where's the punch?
We all experiment, right?
She hated that thing.
I mean, you're going so fast,
she'd have trouble breathing.
So we had to slow down.
Almost never finished.
It was very frustrating.
Oh, I... I... I totally understand
the feeling.
So that's when we created
Easy Harness.
It changed our lives.
- Wow.
- Sorry, I'm talking too much.
No, no.
I love hearing about this.
You've done an amazing job
with Jenna.
She's incredible.
It's really a testament
to your parenting.
She is... She's everything to me.
It shows.
She's very lucky to have you.
I'll be right back.
You should see this house!
I'm not cleaning it again.
I mean just, wow.
But I have to walk Charlie n...
Peter, where you have been?
Charlie. Hey, bud.
I've missed you.
Scratch that.
Let me call you back.
I'm Peter. I believe my
granddaughter Jenna lives here.
I'm Michelle. I'm dog-sitting
while everyone's up in Big Bear.
Oh, I see.
Would it be OK if I took
Charlie off your hands
for a little while?
We used to love our
long walks and talks.
You are a lifesaver.
An old man and a teeny bopper.
It's interesting, huh?
Yeah, and that dumb dog.
Can't stand that dog.
Come on.
Let's make a move.
Hey! Hey, come on.
Mumma!
"Mumma!"
Wake up.
Here, come on.
Take a look.
Benny, it's the bone collector.
Yeah.
Hardly a numbtruck.
- Oh, come on. Let's go.
- What's a numbtruck?
Oh, you mean
nunchuck, nunchuck.
- Yeah, nunchuck.
- I used to do that.
- Alright. Come on, come on!
- I gotta go to the bathroom!
Wait, wait, wait.
Wrong way. Come on.
Wrong way?
- Come on, move.
- The GPS.
Move. Forget the GPS, let's go.
I sure enjoy our walks.
Oh! I've missed you too, Peter.
You're probably wondering
why I haven't been around.
It's a little complicated.
You see, Robert...
he adored Zoe.
They did everything together.
Raising Jenna,
or troubleshooting inventions.
One day,
they got this crazy idea
for a dog translator.
- Believe that?
- Mm, maybe.
I've been in the pet business
30 years.
Craziest idea I ever heard.
Well...
Anyway,
they worked on it together.
But Zoe d*ed before
they could finish it.
I told him it was foolish
to keep at it.
That he needed to spend
more time with Jenna.
So we argued.
I went too far
and he stopped speaking to me.
I wish I'd understood
how important it was to him.
I see that now.
It made him feel
like she's still there
working right beside him.
So Robert
can't let the project go
because he can't
let Zoe go.
Maybe if he could finish it
he could find some peace.
I want that for him.
I do, too.
Can't we just mail it?
Nope.
I-I wanna go home.
Nope.
M-m-maybe you can take it
to the door
- and I can keep cover.
- Is that what you really want?
Nope.
Howdy, fellas.
Hey, is your dog locked up?
Oh, I was just walking him.
Not my dog.
He's my friend.
Well, your friend is really vicious.
Maybe you can take his package.
Nope.
No, no, no, no.
Robert's research.
All of his work was on that computer!
Mate, I smell mail people.
No, this was human.
Mate, this was mail people.
I'm telling you,
when you're not looking
they break into your house,
eat all the dog food
and take all the dog treats.
They are vile and disgusting.
Just when you think
you've snuffed one out
another one pops in its place,
like a cockroach!
No, actually
I like cockroaches much better.
See? I was right.
The nose knows.
Go on.
Go on.
Oh, God.
I've got you now...
mailman.
Oh.
What do I do?
Come here.
You come here.
Slow and steady. That's right.
- Back up.
- Come on, come on.
- See how easy it was?
- Gotcha!
We meet again, Frank.
Oliver, ready to chow down?
Ready, guvnor.
You messed with
the wrong cul-de-sac.
That's right.
You're not going anywhere.
Alright.
Let's show these clowns.
Now!
Vengeance is mine!
Hi, it's Michelle.
There's something
I have to tell you.
It's gone too.
The whole place is in shambles.
I'm so sorry.
Grab your boots,
Holly and I are going sledding.
I'm not much
for sledding right now.
Oh, come on, stinker.
It'll be great.
Jenna, I just told you,
I don't wanna go.
Go without me, OK?
Since when do you feel like
doing anything
that doesn't revolve around you?
Excuse me?
You heard me. I don't even know
who you are anymore.
Hey, hey!
Watch it, young lady.
Who puts the food on the table,
alright?
Or... or... or buys
the clothes that you wear?
Or pays for the big room
that you live in? I do. OK?
I don't bother you about anything.
Nothing.
Not your chores, your homework.
Nothing.
I just let you be.
Just... just let me be, alright?
Just leave me alone.
Mum's dead, Dad.
She's gone.
I know that's why
you bury yourself in your work.
But guess what,
I am still very much alive.
You act like I d*ed with her.
I can't even storm out of here
saying "I wanna go home."
Because I don't.

Too many more of these

Oh, yeah. About that...
Oh, bummer.
That's too bad.
Well, I see it in here

Really?
No, not really.
- Slopes get you?
- I wish.
Happened before we left town.
Mm.
- Are you crying?
- No. I'm not.
It's not...
It's the altitude in the bar.
Well... it can't be
all gloom and doom.
It seems to me that you've got
a little girl quite fond of you.
Oh, Holly?
She's just a co-worker.
I was talking about that
angelic daughter of yours.
You're a lucky man.
She hates me.
Well, I don't believe that
for a second.
No child truly hates
their parent.
Especially one that looks at you
with that glimmer in her eye.
Well, that glimmer's long gone
after the fight we had.
Everybody argues, fella.
Human nature.
What matters is,
is that you deal with it.
Face it head on.
Don't let it fester.
Listen, I've got daughters
of my own.
We've had our share.
Ooh, boy.
Mostly about boys like us.
I am not looking
forward to that.
The point is...
we got through it,
just like you'll get through this.
See, that's the beauty
of children.
The light in their eyes.
They understand forgiveness.
I don't... I don't know
if I deserve forgiveness.
I've completely ignored her
for the past three years ever since...
ever since my wife, her mother,
passed away
it's been rough.
I've just buried myself
in the work.
And now it was all for nothing.
Because it's stolen.
Things come and go.
The people in our lives
is what counts.
But the prototype, my work,
the time, the effort and energy.
I was on the cusp of
something great there.
I was about to make my mark.
It was my heart and soul.
Oh, boo-hoo!
That's horse-buckey.
That little girl,
she's your heart and soul.
And if you couldn't see that
well, whatever you lost
needed to go.
Tell me what you see.
My hangover?
Ah.
Things cloud our relationships.
Or block them out completely.
You... You see that family
out there?
How about now?
The higher we hold things
the harder it is to see
the people that we love.
Now, you know,
whatever you lost
this research and whatnot.
It can be replaced.
But just don't replace it
with other things.

So what have you done?
We wrecked the joint,
just like you wanted.
I didn't ask you
to wreck the joint.
I said grab the version
of all his research.
But boss, the computer
was password protected.
We couldn't get in.
So we, you know... we destroyed it.
We thought it would be fun.
I pay you to follow orders.
Why didn't you just
grab the computer?
I could've figured out

OK, never mind.
Never mind. Uh...
so, uh,
you got the prototype, right?
It's, uh...

passed away
I haven't been able to

And I know that's no excuse
for the way that I've ignored you.
And I thought that I could just
distract myself with my work
but in reality I was just...
I was just pushing you away.
Mum does live on.
She lives on here.
She lives on here, you know?
More importantly,
she lives on here.
I don't know what I would do
if I lost you.
From now on...
work takes a backseat, OK?
- OK.
- OK?
Now what do you say we blow this
popsicle stand and get out of here?
Thought you'd never ask.
Let's go.
Oh, take the shoe.
Come on.
Here.
Oh, Benny,
you shouldn't have.
Hold on.
It's not Christmas.
What's this for?
For the dogs.
- Oh.
- Just open it, would you?
OK.
Why we getting the dogs
a gift, Benny?
Come on.
We're gonna sh**t the dogs,
then we're gonna...
That means we're gonna
go back inside.
- We're going back?
- Yeah, they're tranq darts.
Yes, we got to go back because
you screwed up, genius.
I didn't screw up.
You screwed up.
You broke the computer.
That's not the way
we're gonna remember it.
And be careful, numbskull.
You poke yourself with one of those,
you'll be numb for hours.
OK.
How many darts do we have?
Huh?
I got an idea.
- Yeah?
- I got an idea.
- You got an idea? Go ahead, spit it out.
- Yeah. OK, so...
it's not gonna take us
too long to get in there
get the prototype
and get back out, right?
I wouldn't think so. Then?
We got the whole
neighbourhood
the entire neighbourhood,
every one of these houses
and the dog park
to ourselves, right?
OK, go ahead, go on.
So why are we only hitting
the inventor's house?
Why don't we hit every
single one of 'em?
You know, with my intellectual,
mental telepathy that I have
I actually can't believe
that the words are gonna
come out of my mouth.
That's not a bad idea.
That's the nicest thing
you ever said to me, Benny.
Sta così.
Know what?
We're gonna need a bigger truck.
And I know just where
to get one.
Let's go.
Put it... put it in the bag.
Alright. Come on.
Why do we need a truck?
Oh, no.

- Banditos, señor.
- Hey!
- I mean, Dogfather.
Alright. Listen up.
We've got
a very real thr*at that's...
Hey, you weren't invited!
Get out.
I have a plan
that can help everybody.
But we need to work together
and put our differences aside.
Vinnie P, you have to trust me.
Trust you?
Who do you think you...
Enough!
You're not a leader.
You're a bully. This is our
one sh*t to save Christmas.
And it's gonna take all of us.
We need you.
But you need to leave
your bulldog ego at the door.
Christmas, schmistmas.
But this is our home.
And nobody messes with our home.
I'm all ears! And face.
What's this brilliant plan
of yours?
We'll set our defences here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Why your house? Why not...
Vinnie, look around you.
You see all these useless,
malfunctioning inventions
we're surrounded by?
Each one is a major
safety hazard.
And that's what makes them
perfect for our defences.
Look, these two aren't gonna
stop until they find
what they're after.
The most important
invention of all.
It's very special.
When Robert gets it to work
we'll be able to communicate
with our humans
in their language!
We'll be the first talking dogs
in history!
Then we give them
all they can handle.
We have to protect this.
But they're humans.
Evil humans.
They're big. They're mean.
They're...
They're never gonna see us coming.
I hope you're right on that one.
Each of you
has a dog superpower.
And we're gonna
use 'em all.
Let's go save stinkin' Christmas.
Operation One Rough Christmas is a go.
Remember, we stick together.
Wait for my signal.
Tonight, we protect our homes.
Tonight, we save Christmas.
Tonight, we bring the pain.
Excuse me.
I would like to apologise
to everybody in the room
who just witnessed a little
sneak-in between my cheeks.
Cats are smarter than dogs, they said.
No thumbs, they said.
Zonks!
Lock and load.
Coming through!
Fire in the hole.
Woo-hoo-hoo!
- Alright?
- Yeah.
- Let's get the prototype first.
- Yeah.
And then we hit the rest of
these godforsaken houses.
Then we ride off into
the sunset, alright?
Let's do it.
But... but it's daytime.
It's an expression.
Alright, Lenny?
Benny, what's a prototype?
Let's go. Alright?
Alright. Come on.
Let's make a move.
- Cross, cross!
- What am I looking for?
- Cross, cross!
- What are you doing?
Criss-cross?
That's it. Come on.
Come on.
- OK...
- You go first.
Go ahead. Ready.
Go, go, go!
Victor's gonna be
so proud of us.
Think we'll get a bonus?
- Yeah.
- OK, OK.
Benny. Someone's home, Benny.
I ain't buying it. Shh.
They just put the light on.
Where?
Right in there. Look.
There's a lamp.
- Alright, step back.
- What do you mean? I am back.
What'd I tell you?
Look, it's just that stupid dog.
Get ready!
- I've seen this in the movies, we're good.
- Go ahead.
Here we go, I got it.
Ready.
Ooh!
Now!
What are you doing?
I thought you knew how to do that?
I do. The light's off, right?
Yeah.
OK, let's do this.
You go first.
I'm lactose intolerant.
Go ahead.
Shh! You hear that?
- What?
- It's a bat signal.
I think he's alerting
all his buddies, Benny.
Shut up, Lenny.
Get in there. Come on.
- In here? Me?
- Get in!
I'll lead. OK, I'll go first.
- Here goes, Benny.
- Bernard, release the beans!
Hello.
Oh, Mumma!
Chemical warfare, Benny.
Get up.
Alright.
Let me try this.
Don't worry,
I saved some for you, too.
Ooh! Ooh!
It stinks! Ooh!
Ooh! Agh!
Oh, Benny.
- Ah! Lenny! My eyes!
- You OK, Benny?
Some angel
wrapped his arms around me
and graced me
with his heavenly breeze!
Really?
No, shut up, you idiot!
Go ahead. Come on.
Chili?
Surf's up.
What is that?
You hear that?
Where's that coming from,
Benny? I can't see.
- An earthquake?
- What is it?
- I don't know.
- An earthquake?
Ooh, no.
Think it's coming from
up here somewhere.
Where?
What, here?
Oh! Benny, I can't swim, Benny!
- I can't swim!
- Let go of me!
Back up!
Alright, here we go!
Bozos are here.
Get ready.
Cough up.
- I'm going this way?
- Go ahead, go!
Whoops.
It's times like these
I wish I had thumbs.
Perfect spin on that ball.
Ow!
And he gets the spare.
I'm OK, Benny.
Oh, my God.
Alright, let's go this way.
Follow me. Come on.
Be careful. Watch out for those...
for those bowling balls.
- Yeah. They don't scare me.
- Heavy. Big, black ones.
Charlie to serve.
Ooh, ace! 15-0.
- What was that?
- The big black ones!
Oh, 30-love!
40-love.
Hey, cut it out, alright?
That's enough!
- Benny, what is that?
- I don't know.
What are you doing?
Game, set, match, putz.
What, are you kidding me?
Son of a g*n.
What? Is that it?
Wanna go bowling?
What the...
Oh, Benny.
Get up.
I'm hit...
OK... I'll get the dog.
Those freaking devil dogs.
I wanna go home, Benny.
I want my mumma, Benny.
Look around.
Come on, it's...
It's got to be here somewhere.
Look hard. We gotta find
this freakin' thing. Come on.
I'm looking.
I am the bone collector.
I will bury your bones.
Give me your bones.
I am the bone collector.
I will bury your bones.
Give me your bones.
Give me your bones.
Bones, collect your bones.
Over here, you silly sausages.
Look at it.
The dog, he's got the collar!
I'll go get him.
The dog!
Hello, guvnor.
Hey, that's my Benny!
Hey!
Fleas removal system
needs recalibrating.
That one hurt me.
Fleas removal system fail.
- Watch my leg.
- Oh, Benny...
That's my bad leg.
- I've had enough.
- Yeah, you had enough, Lenny.
Seven times too many.
That's it.
What are you doing?
What's with the hat?
What do you mean? It works.
It's protection.
Protection of what?
You're just jealous
cos you look like Pancho Villa.
Now let's go get the dog!
I've had enough of this.
Easy. Careful.
Careful.
It's a whole family
of inventors.
Alright. Come on, come on.
Come on.
Wait a sec. Benny.
What? What's that?
That's it. Look! Oh, yeah!
It's me. I got it, Benny.
It's all me.
- Careful. Be careful.
- Come on, Benny.
What is that?
Egyptian or something?
You ready?
Come in.
- Oh, God!
- Excuse me, hombres.
I'm sorry I got
my little leg in your ear.
I apologise.
Not much, but I apologise.
This way, cabron!
Get this little...
A gismo!
Benny, I...
I can do this alone.
Oh, yeah.
The collar.
Oh, this is amazing.
Victor and Benny are gonna be
so happy with me.
This is so good.
Right, let's do this.
Ready, guvnor.
I always said I could do it. I did it.
Uh...
Oh, I think this is a fugazi.
Yeah, look what I got.
Look what I got.
Lenny?
Lenny!
Oh, no...
The room's spinning, Benny, please.
I'm getting dizzy!
- I see you. I don't see you.
- What you looking at, you dog?
I don't see you. I see you.
I see you. I don't see you.
And he fell down!
Lenny, I got it!
I got the collar. I got it.
You got the collar?
I got it.
What the hell happened to you?
I... What do you mean?
Oh! I got shift. I...
- You got what?
- Yeah, I... I...
What do you mean
you got shift?
Yeah, I... I got...
my hands are tied.
Yeah, I can see that.
- I got the collar.
- That's the collar!
Oh, you got the...
Pretty sure I got the collar.
Calm down, we got things to do.
I'm gonna go do that, I am.
I'm gonna go do that right now.
- Where you going? What?
- You said it. We got things to do.
What do you mean?
Where you going?
Don't do that thing.
Where you going?
Don't go.
- Don't do it.
- I'm not doing it.
- Don't go there.
- I'll never do that.
Where you going?
Don't go there.
- I'm not.
- No, don't do it.
- I would never do that.
- No. You hear what I said?
No, listen. You stay here.
I said don't do it.
I'm not. I'm not.
Do I look like I'm walking away?
Get over here...
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Taco blaster.
Yeah. I'd go for a taco.
Yeah... Uh-huh.
- Hot sauce launched.
- Argh!
Burns going in. Burns going out.
Ah, tacos!
Meant for tacos,
not for eyeballs. Must recalibrate.
Can't see a thing.
Burning, it's burning!
Ooh! Ah!
Oh! Ooh!
Ah! Argh!
Batter up.
Argh!
Hey, Benny?
Benny.
Ooh! Oh, my! Oh...
- Oh!
- Benny? Benny.
What do you want?
Come on over, Benny.
I'm burning
and my mouth hurts!
- Ah!
- What?
- Alright.
- Come here.
Uh, it's not working.
Usually this goes off, Benny.
It's not working.
- This has never happened before.
- What's the problem?
It... it didn't explode.
But why?
I don't know why.
- Benny, what...
- What is that?
It's... maybe I should...
Yup, I'm gonna flush it.
Oh! Benny, what was that?
I told you
to be more careful, didn't I?
I don't know what it is,
but it's too bad, Benny.
Yeah.
Where... where's the collar?
It's right here.
No, the collar.
I left it right here, numbnuts.
You lost the collar, Benny?
I didn't lose it. It was here.
Somebody robbed it.
Then you lost it. If you said
it was there when you left...
Oh, maybe it's in the bathroom.
I'll go look.
There he is.
Look, I got the dog right...
- He's got the collar. Look.
- He does.
I got him right now. Here we go.
Uh-oh. Oh, no, no.
That's it.
Hey, um...
why don't we talk about this?
Stop making noise,
all you do is...
- Hey, what's that?
- Hey, freeze, dog!
I'm gonna
sh**t him right now.
- What's up, you freakin' dog?
- Hey!
Stand up!
This is all one big
misunderstanding.
- This way?
- I got this, cover him.
- Criss-cross, criss-cross.
- Criss-cross.
This is not good.
Hey, why don't we, uh...
Why don't we just take
a chill for a second?
Got this dog
right where I want him.
Fellas? Hey, guys.
- So, uh...
- Come here.
...why don't we talk
about this, guys?
Got ya.
You guys into kibble
or wet food?
Wow, are you part ogre?
- I've got ya.
- No surrender!
We... got... off...
- It's stronger than me, Benny!
- On... the wrong paw!
- Benny, get in here!
- It belongs to my human.
Get outta the way, I got it!
Give it back.
That's Robert's!
Who's at the door?
Hey, what are...
Who... who are you two?
Oh, my gosh, burglars!
Hey, who are you?
Burglars! We're being robbed?
No, not being robbed.
You're being burglarised.
What do you g*ons
think you're doing here?
Hey, boss. We got it just like you want.
The invention.
Hey, shut up, heathen!
That was a rhetorical question.
Historical?
Hysterical.
Rhetorical, rhetorical.
That's it. Or... whatever.
Here, listen, boss.
You know, I mean, Victor.
You said...
You think you can just
come in here?
And break into my friend's place
and... and steal stuff?
Because we're doing
w-what we were told to...
Shut up!
Stop answering my question.
Alright, no more Christmas
cards for you. That's it.
I'm cutting you out, Victor.
- That's right.
- Wait, you know these guys?
Uh, hmm, what do you mean?
What do you mean?
You know these people?
Yeah, yeah, right.
Now I remember.
You were those two bozos that
worked for the non-profit thing
a while back.
Trying to get 'em
back on their feet.
Yeah.
Guess that didn't work, huh?
Hey, uh, you got...
you got allergies or something?
Something wrong
with your eye?
Yeah, you're twitching, Victor.
You got like a big twitch.
- Dad, call the cops.
- I'm on it.
There's no need to call the police.
Uncle Victor's here.
Oh!
Hey, you can't do that,
that's my friend...
Oh, oh!
Oh no!
No, no, no, no!
So sorry, Robert.
No, that... that stupid thing
never worked to begin with.
It broke.
It's just a prototype,
and not a very good one.
Right, OK.
Wait, wait, wait.
God...
- Wow.
- Victor...
- Huh?
- Victor?
Victor, what'd you do?
Victor, you fixed it!
- I did.
- You did!
It works?
We need to try it out.
Charlie.
Charlie, come here.
Charlie.
Hello, Jenna.
It works! Dad, it works.
That's amazing.
Victor. Victor, you fixed it.
That's amazing.
Oh, I can't believe it.
I-I'm speechless.
Victor, how can I repay you?
I don't think you can ever
repay me.
But, you know, why don't we
partner up on this little trinket here?
Wow, Victor.
You are unbelievable.
Wait, no, Holly. Hear Victor out.
You've been the only one
to fix this device.
You stopped these g*ons.
A partnership is only fair.
Yeah, it just turns out
the copyright office
they don't really regard
a handshake
- as being legally binding, so...
- Oh, OK.
It just turned out I have
these papers laying around.
Here. Mm.
If you wouldn't mind signing
on the last page?
It says right there
that you get 100%
and we get the rest.
- Uh...
- That doesn't make sense.
Shh. OK. Listen.
It's... it's just some legal
mumbo jumbo
that makes us partners
in the canine, you know, translator
that we developed.
Robert, don't sign that.
Don't do it, Robert.
Victor hired these creeps.
What, Charlie?
Victor hired these creeps
- to steal your invention.
- Hey, uh...
Charlie.
He's delusional. Obviously,
we need to do more work on this.
Hey, partner.
I'm not delusional.
You are a thief.
Don't do it.
Don't do it, Robert.
- Quiet.
- Thief, thief, thief.
You gotta be careful.
Those dogs, they're too smart.
The dog might even be
smarter than me.
Oh, for crying out loud.
Seriously?
Ooh! Ooh, ooh...
What is going on?
Quiet. No more games.
What are you doing?
Shut up, dog.
Now you sign those papers
or the pup gets it.
- Charlie!
- Hey, hey, no.
Victor, why are you doing this?
Why?
Why? I'll tell you why.
I've been working for this
godforsaken company for 15 years!
Not one of my inventions
has been appreciated.
Instead I've been passed up
for stupid dancing guinea pigs.
For stupid poo sh**t.
- Hey.
- Even for drinking urine.
Can you believe that...
that mousy woman Jennifer
came up with that pee purifier?
And it was my invention...
my invention that sucked!
No! This is the year.
This is the year I win!
The year of Victor.
Now sign the damn thing. Sign it.
That's right. If you don't mind
signing the back as well.
Good. And the addendum.
Yeah, my lawyer's real picky
about that stuff.
Anybody know
a good notary public?
Uh... OK, never mind.
OK, keep the pink copy.
The yellow one's mine.
Thank...
Put it in my pocket.
Thank you very much.
OK. Good.
What do you say, huh?
Charlie, translate.
- Got it.
- You're better than this, Victor.
You're better than this, Victor.
- What?
- You don't have to do this.
You don't have to do this.
Can we talk about this
some other time?
No, the time is now.
Things haven't been the same
since she left.
Things haven't been
the same since she left.
- I know.
- We know you're sad.
We know you're sad.
It's hard for you.
It's hard for you.
Vinnie P, I don't wanna
hear this right now.
Can we take this somewhere else?
- You're lonely.
- You're lonely.
You don't want to do this.
You don't want to sh**t him.
You don't want to sh**t him.
I know.
He looks very cute.
I just have to do it.
Charlie, run!
Hey, you guys look after
these people.
Hey, sorry about the leg.
OK, the pup's mine!
- Alright.
- God, it hurts.
Ow! Ow!
That's gonna hurt.
Fire.
- Ow!
- Bull's eye!
Over here, you big lug.
Activate.
Come and get me.
Come on.
- Want me to tie 'em up?
- Yeah, Lenny. Do your thing.
Your form is very good,
for your shadow boxing.
Yeah, I got you.
Yeah, that's very good.
Zip, zip, zip, zip!
Soaping, soaping, soaping.
Soaping, soaping, soaping.
Soaping, soaping, soaping,
soaping, soaping, soaping.
What happened to
you guys anyway?
What happened to us?
I got farted on. That's what happened.
Oh, yeah?
I got electrocuted.
You did? Well, I got
bowling-balled, Benny.
Yeah? I got punched in the face
by a... by a punching bag.
Well, I got Saran-wrapped.
Saran-wrapped. Oh, yeah?
- Yes.
- I got hosed by the taco lady.
That's right.
You guys are
the worst bad guys ever.
Hey, don't judge us, little girl.
And you be quiet.
Ever Bath activate.
- OK.
- Be quiet.
Think he's trying
to say something, man.
Take it off, Lenny.
Let me hear what he's got to say.
You're not gonna
get away with this.
- With what?
- With this.
Shut up! Put it back.
Put it back. Shut up.
Benny, Benny, what do you mean?
We're not gonna get away with this?
Ah, they all say that.
Don't worry about it. I got it.
OK, I trust you.
Releasing steam.
Sorry.
- Uh, Benny?
- Get it.
- Benny.
- Yeah, what?
Those Christmas lights.
They're really red and blue. They...
They didn't look like that before!
Let's go! Let's get outta here!
Let's go, let's go.
Whoa. Oh, boy!
Police! Get on the floor!
Get on the floor!
Get on the floor!
Get on the floor!
Eat the floor!
Eat the floor!
Eat the floor!
Get down! Get down now!
I've seen this guy before!
Untie us! Untie us!
Come back! Come back!
- Robert. Robert. Come here.
- What?
- Where are you?
- Come here. Come here.
You taste like tape.
Is that all you got, pup?
Afraid not.
Bye-bye.
And down.
See what I told you, Lenny?
I... I don't...
I don't even know these guys.
Ah, the sweet sound of justice.
That's slander.
Ask the dog.
He'll vouch for me!
Tell 'em, Vinnie P!
I'm innocent.
Hook 'em and book 'em.
I'm innocent.
Alright, show him, Larry.
Take a good look.
Yeah. That was the charity.
I was working for the kids.
I've never seen those two
in my life.
Oh, ho, ho, ho!
Merry Christmas, bozos.
Oliver?
Hello, little lady.
- Hey, buddy.
- Aww...
You guys know each other?
This is Corwin's dog.
He's gonna be so happy
we found him.
Gidget, come here.
Hey...
Just wanted to let you know
that we can do this together.
Alright?
I need you.
I love you, Dad.
I love you too, kiddo.
Hey, if you hadn't called
the cops when you did, I...
And about that...
I didn't call the cops.
But he did.
I'm so sorry, Robert
about everything I said
everything I did.
Everything.
Dad...
it's me who's sorry.
About everything.
I love you, son.
I love you, Dad.
Hey.
Merry Christmas, guys.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you.
For what?
I'm homeless now.
Like that mutt, Oliver.
Some Christmas we saved.
Christmas is always worth saving.
You did good.
I'm happy to share my carrot toy
with you, and my home.
Thanks, Charlie.
Ah...
Why does mail run on Christmas?
Oh, you need the training.
