00:00:36 [Dog Yips, Pants]
00:00:41 [Man Narrating]
00:00:43 of raising your first dog.
00:00:46 Simple joy of walking side by side
00:00:50 throwin' a stick.
00:00:52 Spending some quiet time-
00:01:02 Of course, that wasn't my experience.
00:01:05 - That kid's not even me.
00:01:12 That's me, and that crazy
00:01:16 - the world's worst dog-
00:01:19 - Or so I thought.
00:01:21 But our story begins
00:01:23 Four years before,
00:01:26 which also happened to be the day
00:01:30 in the history of southern Michigan.
00:01:32 Same day our car broke down.
00:01:35 [Whispering]
00:01:39 Ohh!
00:01:41 Wow. So, what do you think-
00:01:43 What do you think that means-
00:01:46 Is that good luck?
00:01:48 I think- I think it's good luck.
00:01:52 - How did I get you?
00:01:55 No, honestly. How did I-
00:01:59 Well, you know...
00:02:02 I get asked that question all the time.
00:02:04 - [Chuckles]
00:02:07 Are you kidding, honey?
00:02:09 You're part of the plan.
00:02:11 - The plan?
00:02:15 Meet an incredibly sweet,
00:02:21 Done. Step two?
00:02:23 - Marry you instead.
00:02:26 Oh, now-And step three-
00:02:29 - No, I don't think I can take any more steps.
00:02:32 - Yeah. What's step three?
00:02:34 - Be gentle.
00:02:37 [Whispering]
00:03:02 Shiny, happy people laughing
00:03:10 Meet me in the crowd
00:03:14 People, people
00:03:18 Throw your love around
00:03:21 Love me, love me
00:03:26 Take it into town
00:03:29 Happy, happy
00:03:33 Put it in the ground
00:03:36 Where the flowers grow
00:03:43 Gold and silver shine
00:03:52 Shiny, happy people
00:03:56 Shiny, happy people
00:03:59 - Thank you.
00:04:02 - Oh, yeah. I got it.
00:04:06 - I'm John Grogan?
00:04:09 who's about to get
00:04:11 for a major metropolitan newspaper.
00:04:15 - Mmm. Mmm.
00:04:18 - You have to. No, baby.
00:04:20 Come on, get out of the car. Get out.
00:04:24 - Now, who am I again?
00:04:28 [Man]
00:04:31 Mitchie. I have a Mitchie.
00:04:34 It's like a Pulitzer,
00:04:37 A Mitchie.
00:04:39 So, tell me-What made you
00:04:42 Kalamazoo Gazette?
00:04:45 Well, as you know, Sebastian
00:04:48 And he w- He was-
00:04:51 He was always saying
00:04:54 and that maybe my wife and I might enjoy it
00:04:58 - Are you a comedian too?
00:05:01 Like your friend over here.
00:05:03 - No.
00:05:07 It's a good thing he knows how to write.
00:05:09 So your wife is Jenny Havens?
00:05:12 Yes. Jenny Grogan-
00:05:15 - She get the job at the Post?
00:05:19 - Why didn't they want you over there?
00:05:22 Jenny's more of a feature writer...
00:05:24 and I'm more of
00:05:26 - I thought this would be a better fit for that.
00:05:28 than the six journalism school graduates
00:05:32 I don't know if I'm better. I-
00:05:34 What I do know is that I have
00:05:37 Ten years ago I was doing bong hits
00:05:41 I never dreamed
00:05:44 and I graduated with honors.
00:05:46 And I never thought I'd get a job
00:05:49 And I certainly never thought
00:05:51 like Jenny Havens
00:05:58 - So?
00:06:01 - [Groans]
00:06:03 - I'm sorry, honey.
00:06:06 they like to call Desert Storm.
00:06:08 - You got the job?
00:06:10 You got the job, baby! Ooh!
00:06:13 John Grogan, I knew it!
00:06:15 I just knew it! Okay, Look.
00:06:17 Watch this. Look.
00:06:19 "Job. Done."
00:06:21 - Okay, so what's next? Lunch?
00:06:24 - House.
00:06:45 [Man On TV]... planes that can
00:06:48 of Iraqi ships and other targets.
00:06:51 Did- Did you get to the quote
00:06:54 - "'If they save even one life"'-
00:06:58 And with that, Jan Dickerson's eyes
00:07:01 - Filled with tears. [Chuckles]
00:07:03 - Or is it too corny?
00:07:05 Is it a little over the top?
00:07:08 Hey, honey, what happened
00:07:11 - That's it. The injured girl's dad's in Kuwait.
00:07:15 - Is that not in there?
00:07:17 Uh-uh. I think they cut that.
00:07:20 They-They spelled your name wrong.
00:07:22 - "John Gorgon."
00:07:26 - Forget it.
00:07:27 Forget it. You know what?
00:07:29 It's got the facts.
00:07:31 - It's a really solid piece.
00:07:34 Well, I mean, I tried to breathe
00:07:37 - Yes.
00:07:41 This idea of voting machines
00:07:44 Well, when you get
00:07:46 - that I talk about what could happen.
00:07:50 - It continues.
00:07:55 But actually, the rest of it...
00:07:57 is really just okay.
00:07:59 - It's actually kind of boring.
00:08:01 - I'm enjoying this.
00:08:05 Wow. They really gave you
00:08:11 Oh, damn. Killed another one.
00:08:14 How am I ever supposed to take care of
00:08:19 - [Elevator Bell Dings]
00:08:21 You bought a house-
00:08:24 What's the matter with a spare room?
00:08:26 It's empty, John, that's what's wrong
00:08:29 [Together]
00:08:31 - I'm just worried that Jenny's at, like, step seven.
00:08:33 She's got her whole life
00:08:36 - according to these steps.
00:08:38 [Mutters] Unbelievable.
00:08:42 - [Groans]
00:08:44 - A parakeet or something?
00:08:48 You got a kid, you're a dad.
00:08:50 - You got a dog, you're a-
00:08:54 - You're still a guy.
00:08:56 - Exactly.
00:08:58 Yeah, but you've stopped
00:09:00 - I've never had a dog.
00:09:03 You walk 'em. You let 'em out
00:09:05 But it doesn't really matter. You're not
00:09:09 - [Editor] Sebastian!
00:09:10 Your travel's been approved.
00:09:13 - Where you goin'?
00:09:15 I got a guy down there says he can
00:09:20 I'm doin' a piece-
00:09:22 I follow a single coca leaf from
00:09:25 That sounds like a good idea.
00:09:28 - Gorman!
00:09:31 Groden. There's a fire
00:09:34 - Methane leak.
00:09:37 Yeah. I want two paragraphs
00:09:41 [Whispering] Methane. Woodward
00:09:47 What kind of dog?
00:09:49 - You remember Caroline?
00:09:52 She was a nursery school teacher.
00:09:54 Anyway, she had
00:09:58 It was a Labradoodle.
00:10:00 Labradoodle? You mean a Labrador.
00:10:03 All right. Get her a Labrador.
00:10:06 Supposed to be just like kids,
00:10:09 Labradoodle? Come on.
00:10:13 [Barking]
00:10:20 This does not smell like an I HOP.
00:10:22 I know. We got a little surprise first.
00:10:25 - Here we go. Now, I want you
00:10:29 - Come on.
00:10:31 - [Muttering]
00:10:33 - You Grogan?
00:10:35 - Expected you an hour ago.
00:10:38 Okay, step up. Sorry.
00:10:40 - Sorry about the mess-
00:10:42 - And the noise and the smell.
00:10:46 Come on.
00:10:48 - Can I look?
00:10:50 - Okay. Okay. Ready?
00:10:52 One, two, three. Go.
00:10:56 [Jenny]
00:10:58 God, they're adorable.
00:11:02 Oh, my- My birthday's
00:11:04 [Woman] That's okay. They can't leave
00:11:07 [Yipping]
00:11:09 - We didn't discuss this.
00:11:13 - [Jenny] Hi, guys.
00:11:16 Family that gave her up didn't
00:11:19 - Are you sure we're ready for this?
00:11:22 you gotta wait three weeks for them to
00:11:25 - I'm not even gonna be here.
00:11:27 - I'll be in Gainesville, covering that trial.
00:11:30 That's okay. It'll give me
00:11:32 - and get a head start on training 'em-
00:11:34 - Get 'em squared away before you get home.
00:11:37 - Well, how are we gonna pick one?
00:11:39 Boys are 275.
00:11:42 Except for that little guy there.
00:11:47 This one? You're so sweet.
00:11:51 - Hello, puppy.
00:11:53 Clearance Puppy likes you.
00:11:56 - Well, that's your guy.
00:11:59 I was gonna pick you anyway.
00:12:01 Don't tell anybody.
00:12:07 - [Brakes Squeal]
00:12:11 - Really wish I didn't have to go.
00:12:13 It's gonna be great.
00:12:16 - Honestly, I'm jealous.
00:12:18 Tax evasion? That's what
00:12:20 Well, it's sexier than speed bumps.
00:12:22 - Okay, you call me the minute you get him home.
00:12:24 - We also have to come up with a name for him.
00:12:28 I'll just call him Clearance Puppy
00:12:30 - Are you gonna be okay?
00:12:33 - I am.
00:12:35 - I know.
00:12:37 - Thank you. I love you. Bye.
00:12:44 How ya doin' there, buddy?
00:12:47 Kind of a big day for you.
00:12:50 Let's listen to the radio.
00:12:53 Awkward silences.
00:12:56 - One love
00:13:00 - Let's get together and
00:13:04 - Feel all right
00:13:08 When you got older.
00:13:10 - The children cryin'
00:13:12 - Sayin' give thanks and praise
00:13:14 That has a nice ring to it.
00:13:16 - Feel all right
00:13:18 It's better if you ride shotgun.
00:13:21 - Because we don't wanna have a car crash-
00:13:24 our first real day together.
00:13:26 Let them all pass all their
00:13:29 Dirty remarks
00:13:31 - Okay, come here. Come here.
00:13:34 It's a big day. You can ride over here.
00:13:37 Maybe it's okay today.
00:13:39 [Police Radio Chatter]
00:13:42 We get pulled over, we explain-
00:13:44 We explain what
00:13:47 To save his own beliefs
00:13:51 - One love-
00:13:53 [Indistinct Conversations]
00:13:55 - What happened?
00:13:58 Again? Good thing I got a watchdog.
00:14:01 Hey, buddy. He's got some teeth.
00:14:04 Oh, yeah.
00:14:06 I'll get him some water.
00:14:08 You're not gonna keep him
00:14:10 I'm gonna keep him in the garage
00:14:13 - Hmm.
00:14:18 No, no, no, no.
00:14:20 You've had enough food, Marley.
00:14:23 You had half a seat belt in the car.
00:14:28 Huh. H-How are you still eating?
00:14:36 I don't understand where
00:14:39 Here's the little box where
00:14:44 Pretty cozy.
00:14:46 - All right. Good night.
00:14:51 You're gonna be okay.
00:14:53 I'm just right inside.
00:14:56 Sleep tight.
00:14:58 [Door Shuts]
00:15:01 [Marley Squealing]
00:15:10 [Squealing Continues]
00:15:13 [Barking, Howling]
00:15:24 [Barking, Howling Continue]
00:15:26 All right.
00:15:30 Come on, Marley.
00:15:32 You're killin' me, you know that?
00:15:37 [Lapping]
00:15:45 [Exhales, Groans]
00:15:50 Oh, we got some cleanin' up
00:15:56 All right.
00:15:57 I'm off to the airport...
00:15:59 and you're gonna ride out
00:16:03 [Thunderclap]
00:16:05 It's just a little thunder.
00:16:12 - [Whining]
00:16:18 [Barking, Squealing]
00:16:26 [Clattering]
00:16:35 - [Grunting] Get in. Here.
00:16:38 - Oh!
00:16:41 - Hi.
00:16:43 - How's my puppy?
00:16:45 A little tired, but trying to stay dry.
00:16:48 - [Chuckles] No, really. How is he?
00:17:01 [Marley Yapping, Squealing]
00:17:05 Do you hear that?
00:17:16 Oh, my God.
00:17:18 Oh, my God. Look at this!
00:17:20 - [Gasps]
00:17:23 - How long did you leave him?
00:17:25 Tops. Did he eat the drywall?
00:17:29 - Oh, that's not right.
00:17:31 That's one little dog did that.
00:17:33 Oh, honey, you're shaking.
00:17:36 - Does thunder scare you, mister?
00:17:39 Oh, ho. Sweet boy.
00:17:42 Oh, look at us.
00:17:46 So I'm in this cave and-
00:17:50 There's, like, nine of them around me.
00:17:52 - What, like AK-47 s?
00:17:55 - And then Escobar comes in and says-
00:17:57 El Padrino-Yeah. He says,
00:18:02 and I think you captured
00:18:06 - Can you believe that?
00:18:09 Man, I wish you
00:18:11 But then who's gonna cover the power
00:18:14 Oh, it's been just crazy.
00:18:17 - Your time will come, amigo.
00:18:21 - That was crazy. Oh, my God.
00:18:24 - Oh, my God!
00:18:26 - Hey.
00:18:28 - Hey, little Marley.
00:18:30 Of course. Here you go.
00:18:31 - He's so cute.
00:18:34 - [Clears Throat]
00:18:38 Sebastian. Viviana.
00:18:40 - Hi. I'm Shannon.
00:18:43 - He's adorable.
00:18:47 - Yeah, it's certainly working for me.
00:18:50 You're so cute. Yes, you are.
00:18:52 I can't let you have the puppy, but
00:18:56 - I'm easy.
00:18:58 And I do tricks.
00:19:00 - [Cooing]
00:19:04 Marley! Marley!
00:19:06 - [Woman] Come back, puppy.
00:19:16 Marley!
00:19:18 Marley. Marley!
00:19:27 - Marley!
00:19:37 - Got him. Thanks.
00:19:40 It's our first week together,
00:19:43 You really shouldn't bring a dog
00:19:47 Okay, can I get the dog back?
00:19:49 Never let him off leash
00:19:51 - Okay.
00:19:53 - where dogs aren't banned.
00:19:55 Cops see anybody peeing or pooping
00:19:58 - [Chuckling]
00:20:03 I'm just very immature.
00:20:05 Calvin!
00:20:09 See? Aren't you glad
00:20:12 See how easy you got it?
00:20:17 [Jenny]
00:20:19 Marley. Marley.
00:20:22 Honey, the dog's got my-
00:20:24 [John]
00:20:27 Marley, you can't go
00:20:33 We're rockin' the suburbs
00:20:36 Around the block
00:20:39 We're rockin' the suburbs
00:20:41 - We part the shades and face some facts
00:20:44 - You too.
00:20:45 - [Barks]
00:20:49 It just seems like
00:20:52 - Like, I don't understand why you thought of me.
00:20:55 Yeah, but I'm a reporter.
00:20:57 John, you get better pay...
00:20:59 you can pick your own hours
00:21:02 - Why are you hesitating?
00:21:05 No, you're hesitating. I'm offering you
00:21:09 I never saw myself as a columnist.
00:21:11 Well, think of it as one of those times
00:21:14 - Okay.
00:21:17 till I get a replacement for Jerry.
00:21:19 Then you can go back to doing
00:21:22 - What were you doing?
00:21:26 - Are you okay with this?
00:21:28 - You don't seem very thrilled.
00:21:30 - We could take away the raise in pay if you like.
00:21:34 All right. Now you're talking.
00:21:37 Oh! Marley. I think
00:21:40 God. He doesn't even heel.
00:21:43 He doesn't walk.
00:21:46 Marley- God.
00:21:48 Marley, stop.
00:21:52 I had to pull him
00:21:54 - Poodles?
00:21:57 I say we give him away to a farm.
00:21:59 Isn't that usually what you do
00:22:03 Well, usually you-
00:22:06 Or you train 'em.
00:22:09 What are you doing?
00:22:12 Arnie gave me a column.
00:22:14 Are you kidding?
00:22:17 Oh, yeah. It's a big honor.
00:22:19 I get to write about zoning laws...
00:22:21 and give my opinion on yard sales.
00:22:23 Whoa. Down, boy.
00:22:26 Well, no, it's just, I don't even read
00:22:30 Now I'm supposed to, you know,
00:22:34 And you got nothin' for Tuesday.
00:22:37 No. I got nothin' for Tuesday.
00:22:39 I bet you're gonna
00:22:43 Now, see, this gives me a little
00:22:47 It's more like-
00:22:48 Look at Marley.
00:22:51 Marley, stop.
00:22:54 Marley, you're incorrigible.
00:22:56 Incorrigible? I don't believe in that word.
00:22:58 Every dog wants to learn.
00:23:00 Hey, come here, baby.
00:23:03 Yes, you're a good girl.
00:23:05 Yes, you are.
00:23:07 'Course, they can't learn
00:23:10 Yeah. Well, I'm pretty
00:23:13 - Marley-
00:23:16 So which of you is gonna be the trainer?
00:23:19 Well, we both thought we would, 'cause
00:23:22 - We're married too. Yeah.
00:23:25 A dog can only have one master.
00:23:27 Which one of you has the most natural
00:23:32 Well, maybe I'll stand
00:23:34 I thought so. Shall we?
00:23:38 - Geez!
00:23:42 Sit. Sit.
00:23:44 - [Whistling]
00:23:46 Okay. Marley- Marley, sit.
00:23:49 This, class, is a classic example of a dog...
00:23:53 who has foolishly been
00:23:56 he is the alpha male of the pack...
00:23:59 and therefore, he can never be a happy animal.
00:24:02 Yeah. He looks pretty miserable.
00:24:05 You, joker, rotate in.
00:24:09 And lose the sunglasses.
00:24:11 Dog likes to be
00:24:13 - Jawohl.
00:24:16 - Okay.
00:24:17 - Yeah.
00:24:18 So. Collar your dogs.
00:24:22 [Woman]
00:24:26 All right, dogs on the left.
00:24:28 On the count of three.
00:24:31 One, two, three. Let's go.
00:24:36 - Very nice. Very good.
00:24:40 - Good.
00:24:42 - Hey!
00:24:44 - Whoa!
00:24:47 All right. All right, class.
00:24:49 Come on. Let's line up again.
00:24:51 Class, it's a simple question
00:24:54 in your own authority.
00:24:56 I shall now demonstrate a simple walk.
00:24:59 - All right?
00:25:02 Mr. Grogan?
00:25:04 - Sorry.
00:25:06 All right, even an unruly dog...
00:25:08 likes to obey his leader.
00:25:11 Marley, heel.
00:25:17 - Yeah.
00:25:18 Marley. Marley!
00:25:21 - [Marley Barking]
00:25:26 Marley.
00:25:34 Careful. Marley, no!
00:25:36 - Marley!
00:25:40 [Groaning]
00:25:43 Aaah! That's it. He is out.
00:25:46 Sorry. Usually he does this with poodles.
00:25:49 That dog is a bad influence on the others.
00:25:53 Now, leg humping is like a virus.
00:25:55 Once it takes hold of the group- No.
00:25:58 - [John] Okay.
00:26:01 It was maybe your hair.
00:26:04 - Reminded him of a poodle.
00:26:09 Right from the beginning
00:26:12 - I know. She really did.
00:26:15 That's why he got kicked out.
00:26:17 You are now the world's worst dog.
00:26:20 You've been kicked out
00:26:22 You know, there is
00:26:25 No, I know. We just-We get a-
00:26:30 No. No, no, no, no, no.
00:26:37 [John]
00:26:39 You'll see. Sex is overrated.
00:26:43 Aw, I can't tell you that,
00:26:47 Poor son of a bitch.
00:26:49 Okay. You wanna come up?
00:26:53 - Marley!
00:26:55 Oh, gosh. It's like he's
00:26:59 I mean, that's what
00:27:01 - He doesn't know what's coming.
00:27:05 - Oh, no, no, no. That makes me nervous.
00:27:08 He's just getting a little air.
00:27:14 - It's like Of Mice and Men.
00:27:17 - No, Marley-
00:27:21 - Oh, my God.
00:27:23 - [Squeaks]
00:27:26 - Pull over.
00:27:29 - Honey, pull over.
00:27:32 [Horns Honking]
00:27:35 - Pull over!
00:27:40 - Jesus.
00:27:44 Hey, get a leash.
00:27:45 - Shut up.
00:27:49 - [Horns Honking]
00:27:58 This is a rough draft, 'cause I'd like
00:28:05 You know, the beginning,
00:28:07 I think we can maybe lose that,
00:28:13 I just reread it, and I didn't think
00:28:16 - I'm gonna go back and do the zoning piece.
00:28:18 What are you apologizing for?
00:28:21 - Really?
00:28:24 The-The getting kicked out
00:28:27 the humping, the great escape-
00:28:29 That's really funny stuff.
00:28:31 It's hysterical stuff.
00:28:33 Run it- the way it is.
00:28:37 Thanks.
00:28:39 Listen. You know what makes it work?
00:28:42 What makes it work is that
00:28:46 - Good.
00:28:49 but could you do
00:28:51 - Sure.
00:28:53 - Okay, great.

00:28:59 Hey, good to know.

00:32:28 We're not gonna be the guys who get

00:32:48 Your plan. I wanna know
00:32:52 - You really wanna know?

00:33:11 I could live with a few leaks.
00:33:14 - Really?
00:33:17 But you know, a couple leaks
00:33:20 and then that big leak becomes
00:33:23 - That's true.
00:33:26 - before we start-
00:33:29 If we fix too many more things, then
00:33:32 John, are you serious?
00:33:35 Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
00:33:38 - You realize we're not talking
00:33:40 I got that. About halfway
00:33:43 Good metaphor though.
00:33:45 And you're not just saying this 'cause
00:33:49 Honey, come on. I mean,
00:33:51 that's collateral damage
00:33:54 I mean, I'm ready... if you are.
00:33:57 Well, instead of trying
00:33:59 why don't just stop
00:34:04 - Okay, if I'm following you
00:34:07 This is the part-We head back,
00:34:10 Yes, but you'll- It'll have a little

00:34:17 [Sade Playing]

00:34:44 Good. Good. It's even better
00:34:47 - Thank you.
00:34:49 I like that piece you did
00:34:53 - What'd you call her?
00:34:55 - Is that true- She had her boobs done four times?
00:34:58 Hysterical. And is that true
00:35:02 - You're trying to have a kid?
00:35:05 - 'cause we don't wanna-
00:35:07 - What do you mean?

00:35:34 - What changed your mind?
00:35:37 I'm actually married to someone...
00:35:39 and I care about what she wants.
00:35:42 Well, is it what you want?
00:35:44 Yeah.
00:35:46 - I guess that answers my other question.
00:35:50 I'm about to do a piece
00:35:52 of the domestic drug trade
00:35:54 - You're freelancing for the New York Times?
00:35:57 Yeah, but it's a big story.
00:35:59 Too big for one guy and, uh, I was
00:36:04 Are you kidding me?
00:36:06 - Be a chance for us to work together.
00:36:10 Of course, it will be
00:36:12 I would hope so.
00:36:15 Maybe not the best job for, uh,
00:36:18 Well, that's not necessarily
00:36:23 - [Phone Rings]
00:36:27 - Honey, how are you?
00:36:29 I'm just calling to let you know that
00:36:33 Why don't the two of you get started,
00:36:37 [Chuckling]
00:36:40 But seriously,

00:36:58 You know? Obviously it's not working,
00:37:03 of saying now's
00:37:07 I mean, maybe it's a sign that we're
00:37:12 - I mean, have we really thought this-
00:37:15 I'm pregnant.
00:37:18 - Great.
00:37:20 Wow. Great. Really?
00:37:24 - Yeah.
00:37:25 You were-You were just saying-
00:37:27 No, don't worry.
00:37:29 It sounds so awkward now,
00:37:31 very, you know, idiotic
00:37:35 and I'm really excited.
00:37:37 - Do you want to start over?
00:37:39 - That would be great. Can we?
00:37:41 Good.
00:37:45 - I'm pregnant.
00:37:50 - Yes! [Laughs]

00:38:03 She'll be 40 pounds overweight.
00:38:05 - She'll be throwing up all the time.
00:38:08 She's gonna look at you
00:38:10 "You bastard. You did this to me."
00:38:12 What-What happened to the glow?
00:38:15 There's no glow. Get her a gift.
00:38:18 That'll dissipate some of the anger.
00:38:20 Uh, earrings, uh, bracelet-
00:38:22 That's thoughtful.
00:38:24 - Maybe I'll get on it right now.
00:38:28 - All right.
00:38:31 Oh, John.
00:38:34 It's just beautiful.
00:38:36 It's just... beautiful.
00:38:39 Honey, thank you.
00:38:41 You're welcome. I was just

00:38:48 - Yeah, well- Do you like it?
00:38:51 Yeah, well, put it on. Or let me put it on.
00:38:54 - Where'd it go?
00:38:56 - You just set it down, I thought.
00:38:58 - Did you drop it?
00:39:00 It didn't just disappear.
00:39:02 Oh, God.
00:39:06 - Marley. No- Marley, spit it out.
00:39:09 [Whispering]
00:39:11 Marley, I have a treat.
00:39:13 Come here.
00:39:16 Stay. Marley, stay.
00:39:19 Good boy. Yeah.

00:39:32 Marley!
00:39:34 Come here, Marley.
00:39:38 Geez.
00:39:44 - Marley, drop it.
00:39:46 - Marley.
00:39:53 Marley, you gotta
00:39:57 You know, years ago,
00:40:00 somehow standing in the backyard...
00:40:02 hosing down your crap, looking
00:40:06 ass-kissing gift
00:40:10 Which shows you gotta dream big...
00:40:12 'cause- Oh. Jackpot.
00:40:14 My, that's a lovely necklace. So shiny.
00:40:19 - Yes, it is.
00:40:23 I read your columns every week.
00:40:25 - Oh.
00:40:28 - [Laughs]
00:40:31 The heartbeat'll be very fast-
00:40:34 Is it- Is it too early
00:40:36 I- Not that I care.
00:40:38 Can be male, female-
00:40:42 - [Laughs]
00:40:44 - if I had my druthers, but-
00:40:50 Sometimes you can't hear it, depending
00:40:52 - You're 10 weeks, right?
00:40:55 Hmm. Well, might be
00:40:58 Let's go right to the sonogram.
00:41:01 - Oh, yes.
00:41:04 - That's warm.
00:41:06 - Let's get a good picture for you first, huh?
00:41:09 It'll be right up
00:41:19 Excuse me. I'll be just a minute.
00:41:22 [Door Opens]
00:41:30 [Door Opens]
00:41:32 - Hey, guys.
00:41:34 Let's take a look
00:41:39 All right.
00:41:43 [Typing]
00:41:48 Is there anything in there?
00:41:53 Not what you would expect
00:41:56 I'm not- I'm not quite 10 weeks.
00:41:58 At Monday it's still,
00:42:01 Nine weeks.
00:42:04 There's no heartbeat, Jen.
00:42:09 I'm very, very sorry.
00:42:12 These things-They happen sometimes.
00:42:16 You're young. You have your health.
00:42:18 Couple months,
00:42:20 I'm sorry. All right, I'm gonna-
00:42:23 I'll leave you guys alone for a moment
00:42:26 I'm very sorry.
00:42:30 [Door Opens]
00:42:35 [Door Closes]
00:42:49 Well, in a couple months
00:43:18 You want some tea?
00:43:23 You know what I was thinking-
00:43:27 We still have those tickets
00:43:29 for the honeymoon in Ireland.
00:43:32 We could finally do that.
00:43:38 Jenny?
00:43:47 [Sniffles]
00:43:51 [Weeping]
00:44:19 [Barking]
00:44:23 - Oh, he's... big.
00:44:27 - Now, he just wants to say hello here.
00:44:30 - He loves people.
00:44:32 And you're a dog person, right?
00:44:34 - Actually, I'm-
00:44:37 - Go on, you can say hello.
00:44:38 No, no, don't let him do that.
00:44:40 All you have to do is-
00:44:42 That shouldn't happen all the time.
00:44:44 But here, read this. This'll tell you
00:44:48 - I've got the bags here.
00:44:50 - Thank you. Come on, honey.
00:44:53 - I got it.
00:44:55 - [Jenny] Honey, we're really late.
00:44:57 [Jenny Narrating]
00:44:59 Marley is a spirited dog
00:45:03 We've never left him before,
00:45:05 just as he does when we're at home.
00:45:11 There are just a few things about
00:45:14 - [Barking]
00:45:17 If he looks starved, feed him again.
00:45:21 Now, of course, all of this food
00:45:24 so use the blue pooper scooper,
00:45:28 Don't worry about the color.
00:45:31 Marley is not allowed
00:45:34 so be sure to keep the lid closed...
00:45:36 - and the brick on the lid.
00:45:38 You know, actually,
00:45:40 to just keep the bathroom door
00:45:42 Like most dogs, Marley
00:45:45 so try to take him for a walk or a run
00:45:50 - Marley, let go!
00:45:52 Let go. Let go. Let go.
00:45:55 And be sure to lock the doors
00:45:58 Shoo! Shoo!
00:46:00 But don't worry.
00:46:02 - [Thunder Rumbling]
00:46:04 You can rest easy at night
00:46:07 Thunderstorms are his weak point.
00:46:10 You can give him sedatives
00:46:12 Okay. Here you go. Marley.
00:46:16 He doesn't like them, so push them
00:46:19 Welcome. Welcome.
00:46:23 Now finally, we do not allow Marley
00:46:27 chew on anything except his toys.
00:46:31 Other than that, enjoy him.
00:46:35 We serve tea every day at 4:00,
00:46:40 Oh, and these blankets are woolen.
00:46:44 - So-So they're electric?
00:46:47 My brother died in a fire,
00:46:51 In this room, actually.
00:46:55 Oh, not to worry.
00:46:57 Well, good night to ya both.
00:47:00 - And God bless you.
00:47:02 Thank you. You- Bless you.
00:47:08 - That was just weird.
00:47:12 [Squeaking]
00:47:15 Oh, gosh.
00:47:16 Honey, I- I know that we
00:47:21 But I don't think we're breaking
00:47:25 No, no. I don't-
00:47:27 I don't want to break
00:47:29 This doesn't feel-
00:47:31 you know, handle God watching,
00:47:36 But not- not this little
00:47:40 [Whispering]
00:47:43 - Honey, I can't feel my toes.
00:47:46 I wanna check on that.
00:47:49 [Chuckles]
00:47:51 - [Springs Squeaking]
00:47:53 It's not the bed. It's the shrieks
00:47:58 [Chuckles]
00:48:01 Don't you want to join them?
00:48:05 Really?
00:48:07 Mm-hmm.
00:48:10 We don't have to.
00:48:12 I know, but the idea that it hasn't
00:48:16 [Inhales]
00:48:23 Honey, I missed you.
00:48:29 [Springs Squeaking]
00:48:36 [Marley Barking]
00:48:43 [Barking Continues]
00:48:48 [Whining, Panting]
00:48:51 Marley! Hi, honey.
00:48:53 - Marley.
00:48:55 Come here.
00:48:57 - We missed you so much.
00:48:59 There were 11 thunderstorms
00:49:01 Eleven. And you were right.
00:49:05 Wow. Okay. Yeah. Eleven.
00:49:08 Oh, and just so you know, I am
00:49:11 That is evil with a dog face that is
00:49:15 - Marley.

00:49:21 [Barking, Howling]
00:49:25 Marley, come on.
00:49:33 Marley, come on.
00:49:38 Marley, come on.
00:49:40 - [Whining]
00:49:41 Can you help me out here?
00:49:44 I got 20 minutes
00:49:48 Jenny?
00:49:50 - Ah, the luck of the Irish.
00:49:53 [Both Laughing]
00:50:44 [Jenny]
00:50:59 [Inhales]
00:51:01 [Inhaling, Exhaling]
00:51:04 Aah. Ooh. Oh, God.
00:51:07 John? Honey. John.
00:51:10 - Yeah?
00:51:12 [Muttering]
00:51:14 Okay, but- Ooh.
00:51:16 - God!
00:51:19 - You okay?
00:51:20 No, it's okay. I'm not gonna hurt her.
00:51:21 Try not to scream,
00:51:23 You remembered to install
00:51:26 - They won't let us take the baby home-
00:51:28 - I know that. I'm sorry.
00:51:30 I got it. I got it.
00:51:35 Yeah, come on, Marley.
00:51:38 You can chew through drywall, Marley.
00:51:43 Good. Yeah.
00:51:47 You're gonna stay here.
00:51:49 This bone will keep you busy now.
00:51:51 Hopefully, no thunderstorms.
00:52:12 [Barks]
00:52:17 Who's your daddy? Come here.
00:52:29 Here's the thing.
00:52:31 In about two minutes
00:52:34 and you'd be doing me a really
00:52:40 And I'm gonna try to do the same.
00:52:47 - Are you ready?
00:52:49 Hi. Come here.
00:52:51 Hi, baby. Oh, hi. Hi, sweetie.
00:52:54 Hi, Marley. Oh, come on.
00:52:57 Come here. Okay.
00:53:00 - Marley.
00:53:05 - Mmm. Mmm.
00:53:08 - Just, uh-
00:53:14 Not to be confused with a chew toy.
00:53:17 Although it may look like one.
00:53:19 Say hi. See, honey?
00:00:12 [Jenny]
00:00:14 Well, have Legal call them again
00:00:18 They told me it was on the record.
00:00:20 I don't- Patrick?
00:00:23 You know Marley gets-
00:00:26 Will you just call them
00:00:28 I-I- I'll call you right back.
00:00:30 [Indistinct Conversations]
00:00:50 Those days are over for us, amigo.
00:00:53 We had a good run though.
00:01:08 [Patrick Crying]
00:01:10 [No Audible Dialogue]
00:01:21 Come on, Marley.
00:01:23 I know this is gonna sound crazy...
00:01:25 but what's that thing called
00:01:28 - It starts with an "M."
00:01:30 Mortgage.
00:01:32 Wow. Is it possible
00:01:35 You know what?
00:01:38 No, you won't.
00:01:42 - Yeah. You're right.
00:01:45 I'm just a blessedly sound sleeper.
00:01:48 Honey, I do have to go
00:01:50 Will you watch him then for me?
00:01:52 It'll be my pleasure.
00:01:54 - How long are we talking about?
00:01:59 It's not quite what
00:02:02 I don't know what I expected.
00:02:04 - I never thought Marley
00:02:07 I know, but you know what?
00:02:09 We adjusted to him,
00:02:14 I'm just trying
00:02:18 You mean those, uh-
00:02:20 - Yeah.
00:02:24 - Yeah.
00:02:26 I miss them.
00:02:28 Mmm. They're here.
00:02:30 They're here. They're just really tired.
00:02:33 Mmm?
00:02:35 - [Growling]
00:02:39 - [Woman Screams]
00:02:43 Stay here.
00:02:46 - Call the police.
00:02:50 [Barks]
00:02:53 [Woman Sobbing]
00:02:59 Hey, hey, hey. Are you all right?
00:03:02 He told me not to scream
00:03:06 - But I screamed-
00:03:09 - And he stabbed me.
00:03:12 - Where's your mother?
00:03:14 It's okay. It's not that bad.
00:03:16 Keep your hand placed right here.
00:03:18 Okay. Now, I called the police.
00:03:21 Everything's gonna be okay.
00:03:25 You know, in all the time I've lived here,
00:03:28 - Lisa.
00:03:30 I'm gonna sit right here, Lisa.
00:03:32 You're gonna keep
00:03:35 and we're gonna wait
00:03:38 And they're gonna take care of this.
00:03:40 All right? Okay?
00:03:43 Look at me. It's all right.
00:03:45 It's all right.
00:03:47 [Man] Safest neighborhood?
00:03:48 - In terms of crime, I'd say you're lookin' at Boca.
00:03:51 - Mmm.
00:03:54 - That's the way it is, John.
00:03:59 [John]
00:04:01 You got kids playin' in the street.
00:04:03 What do you guys think? We might
00:04:07 Here we go.
00:04:09 I got you right there.
00:04:13 Stay. Marley, no.
00:04:16 Marley. Marley.
00:04:18 [Woman] And don't you love this kitchen?
00:04:22 My favorite part- the pool. It's-
00:04:28 - Um, why don't we look over here?
00:04:31 - Uh, sure.
00:04:35 Whose dog is that?
00:04:40 Jenny?
00:04:44 Honey?
00:04:47 Jen?
00:04:51 - Hey, you okay?
00:04:54 - I wanna show you something.
00:04:56 It's a house. Now, it's a little pricey...
00:05:00 but I think we can do it.
00:05:03 - Boca?
00:05:05 But I talked to Frank Bennett on the Metro
00:05:08 John, I'm just not sure now
00:05:10 Jen, when do you think is the right time,
00:05:14 - John.
00:05:16 Remember, this was supposed
00:05:19 I know. I know that. I just don't think
00:05:23 - I know, but, honey, we can.
00:05:26 Really?
00:05:30 - Are you sure?
00:05:42 Pretty sure.
00:05:44 - Four for four. Wow.
00:05:47 - Hold on.
00:05:49 - Mm-hmm.
00:05:51 - Uh-huh. Come here.
00:05:53 - [Crying]
00:05:55 Oh, yes. Oh, you're such a good boy.
00:05:57 Another baby.
00:05:59 I know. Honey, I think
00:06:04 You don't have to do that.
00:06:06 I don't want any help.
00:06:09 I just don't-Will you hand me
00:06:11 - Yeah.
00:06:14 that sees their child
00:06:18 - I don't.
00:06:20 I love my work, honey.
00:06:23 When I'm at the office,
00:06:26 And when I'm here,
00:06:30 And I just know that
00:06:33 Well, you're not doing them halfway.
00:06:35 If I have to give up something...
00:06:37 I do not- I do not
00:06:40 [Arnie] Why should I give you a raise?
00:06:43 'Cause I'm doing a good job.
00:06:46 - Is that a question?
00:06:48 Since I took over the column,
00:06:50 So you are doing a good job.
00:06:52 - Yes, if you go by circulation and popularity.
00:06:56 - Why not make it permanent?
00:07:00 Yeah, that's what permanent means.
00:07:03 John, every bozo out there
00:07:07 Everybody in that entire room.
00:07:09 And you've taken the column and
00:07:13 I know you don't want to hear it,
00:07:16 Why you hesitating?
00:07:19 I just have this idea about myself,
00:07:22 Well, sometimes life comes up
00:07:26 You take on a daily column,
00:07:31 [Rock, Mellow]
00:07:35 [Man]
00:07:38 'Cause today I found my friends
00:07:43 They're in my head
00:07:45 I'm so ugly
00:07:47 That's okay 'cause so are you
00:07:51 Broke our mirrors
00:07:54 - Sunday morning
00:07:56 Is every day for all I care
00:08:00 And I'm not scared
00:08:04 In a daze 'cause I found God
00:08:09 [Baby Crying]
00:08:13 I'll start you off with some corn flakes.
00:08:17 No. Marley.
00:08:19 Most important meal of the day.
00:08:22 - There. Take a little-
00:08:24 John, please, just take him for a second.
00:08:28 - It happens every time.
00:08:33 - Down! Marley.
00:08:39 - [Crying Continues]
00:08:42 - I'll do it. I'll do it.
00:08:44 You say spend more time
00:08:46 and then you wanna take over
00:08:49 - I don't want you changing him when you're mad.
00:08:52 - Thank you. Come on.
00:08:54 Hi, baby. Hang on, honey.
00:08:57 I know, baby. I know. I know.
00:09:00 Oh, dear. Come on.
00:09:04 What's the matter?
00:09:06 - Do you want some food? Food? Yeah?
00:09:10 - No. Okay.
00:09:15 Here's an idea. Why don't you stay home
00:09:20 Sorry. I'm tired.
00:09:23 It's postpartum depression.
00:09:27 and they get depressed.
00:09:29 I remember after my fourth kid was born,
00:09:32 my wife would be there
00:09:35 with a meat cleaver in her hand.
00:09:38 I thought she was gonna kill me.
00:09:41 I still do.
00:09:43 Did you get her the gift?
00:09:45 - Yeah.
00:09:49 Okay, Janice, make him look pretty.
00:09:52 He's gonna have this picture next
00:09:56 [Camera Shutter Snaps]
00:10:09 [Baby Crying]
00:10:12 [Barking]
00:10:22 [Barking Continues]
00:10:28 [Mouthing Words]
00:10:36 Patrick, honey, please stop doing that.
00:10:40 - Just eat it, okay?
00:10:42 Remember what we did
00:10:45 Honey, you know what else?
00:10:48 for the curtains in the boys' room.
00:10:50 Okay, well, whatever you want. And then-
00:10:55 I'd really like your help deciding.
00:10:58 [Baby Crying]
00:11:01 No. Let me get him.
00:11:04 Thank you.
00:11:13 Marley, just-
00:11:16 Marley, bad dog!
00:11:20 - Marley, let go! Let go.
00:11:23 Marley. Marley.
00:11:25 Marley! Marley, get back here!
00:11:28 Marley, bad dog!
00:11:30 Marley, get back here! Marley!
00:11:33 See, we were supposed to return these,
00:11:37 - That's okay.
00:11:39 How many times have I told you not to
00:11:42 - I know, but you wouldn't
00:11:46 You also said you would get up early and walk
00:11:50 - I am gonna walk him. I just woke up.
00:11:53 - I'm gonna do it myself. Forget it!
00:11:56 Yes, I'm doing it myself.
00:12:00 You don't get it.
00:12:03 You've got to take it easy.
00:12:07 - So who gets the dog if you guys split up?
00:12:11 - Out of the realm of possibility?
00:12:14 There's nothing she can do? No tantrum
00:12:19 No failure to perform wifely duties
00:12:22 Why do you jump right to splitting up?
00:12:26 - So life is better with Jenny than without her?
00:12:30 Are you wearing a wire?
00:12:33 Jenny, yes, we had a fight,
00:12:36 Come on, buddy. I had a fight
00:12:41 I just wanna know
00:12:43 Oh, wait. There she is.
00:12:46 - Who?
00:12:49 No, I can't be a party to this.
00:12:51 This is gonna be
00:12:54 No, not my son.
00:13:27 [Vehicle Brakes Screech]
00:13:29 [Vehicle Beeping]
00:13:32 [Growls]
00:13:34 - Marley, no. Please, please, Marley.
00:13:37 - [Barking]
00:13:42 [Baby Crying]
00:13:47 [Barking]
00:13:55 Marley! Marley, what are you-
00:13:58 [Barking Continues]
00:14:00 Marley, God, look at-
00:14:04 Why do you ruin everything? Go on!
00:14:08 Patrick! Are you okay? I'm sorry.
00:14:12 - [Barking]
00:14:15 - I want that dog out of here right now.
00:14:17 I'm not kidding.
00:14:19 All right, buddy, looks like
00:14:22 I'm serious. I'm not kidding. I want-
00:14:25 - What did he do?
00:14:28 He's just a horrible,
00:14:30 - Well, that's a little unfair.
00:14:33 is that Conor hasn't slept in two weeks
00:14:37 that Patrick gets
00:14:39 that I can't even think straight.
00:14:41 God forbid there's
00:14:43 - Just don't!
00:14:45 I know that it's been a rough couple of
00:14:48 I understand that.
00:14:51 - And postpartum dep-
00:14:53 I am not depressed.
00:14:57 I'm not angry because of some condition.
00:15:00 I can't even go out
00:15:03 because every babysitter in this
00:15:06 I know that, but you were the one that
00:15:09 - We can get help-
00:15:11 - That makes it hard.
00:15:13 - That's not gonna happen obviously.
00:15:15 - Me keep my voice down?
00:15:18 Everybody gets rid of their dogs.
00:15:20 And I'm just a husband. You gonna
00:15:24 - I've thought about it.
00:15:26 - What do you have to complain about?
00:15:28 - Because you're such a joy to be around?
00:15:31 So nice to walk in the door,
00:15:34 Just a jerk!
00:15:36 [Door Slams]
00:15:39 Stop it! It's your fault.
00:15:43 - You gotta be kidding me?
00:15:46 Just for a couple of days
00:15:52 A couple days will be all right.
00:15:54 You guys know each other.
00:15:56 - Want a beer?
00:16:00 - Yeah.
00:16:03 New York.
00:16:05 The Gray Lady came a-courtin'.
00:16:09 The Times offered you
00:16:12 I gave Arnie my notice last week.
00:16:15 - You didn't say anything.
00:16:18 I just- It all happened so fast,
00:16:24 That's great. The New York Times.
00:16:28 It's what we always dreamed of.
00:16:32 [Sighs]
00:16:34 Well, congratulations.
00:16:38 - Yeah.
00:16:41 - Yeah.
00:16:44 - Shit!
00:16:46 - Two days, John. I'm serious.
00:16:54 Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.
00:16:57 I wasn't, uh, sleeping.
00:17:01 - Where's Marley?
00:17:05 Mm-hmm. I'd love to see that.
00:17:08 Just until I can find
00:17:15 - This is his permanent home, John.
00:17:19 Marley's not going anywhere.
00:17:21 I just got overwhelmed.
00:17:24 - No one tells you how hard this is all gonna be.
00:17:28 All of it:
00:17:32 Marriage, being a parent.
00:17:35 It's the hardest job in the world
00:17:39 Nobody tells you how much
00:17:42 I feel like they do tell you,
00:17:47 or you think, "Ah, they're just miserable."
00:17:54 I've given up so much
00:17:59 But I can't say that because...
00:18:01 I'm a very bad person if I say that.
00:18:06 But I feel it. I really do.
00:18:09 I feel it sometimes. I just-
00:18:13 I just want you to know that.
00:18:16 I do know that.
00:18:19 But I did make a choice.
00:18:23 I made a choice, and even
00:18:28 I don't regret it.
00:18:30 - Are you sure?
00:18:32 'Cause it kinda has like a
00:18:36 I just think these things are gonna happen
00:18:40 - And we'll just do it together.
00:18:46 - Getting rid of Marley is not gonna fix anything.
00:18:52 And getting rid of you
00:18:56 - Can I ask you a favor?
00:18:58 No more kids for a while.
00:19:01 Absolutely. Deal.
00:19:08 [Laughs]
00:19:12 All right, say hello to Colleen.
00:19:15 - Daddy says her name is Whoops.
00:19:17 - Patrick said that.
00:19:20 - Why did you say that?
00:19:23 - It was kind of a secret, guys.
00:19:25 [Water Splashing]
00:19:28 [All Chattering]
00:19:31 The old pro moves back.
00:19:35 Gets an assist from Colleen.
00:19:37 - [Cheering]
00:19:40 Nice shot? Come on. Conor?
00:19:42 - Extraordinary.
00:19:45 - [Phone Rings]
00:19:48 - [Jenny] All right.
00:19:53 - Hello?
00:19:55 Yes, it is.
00:19:57 - Gil Lawford from the Philadelphia Inquirer.
00:20:03 Hi. How are you?
00:20:07 Oh! Hey, who was that on the phone?
00:20:10 The Philadelphia Inquirer.
00:20:12 I sent the editor some clips
00:20:16 - What's a while back?
00:20:21 And he read my stuff.
00:20:24 - How do you kind of have lunch?
00:20:28 Okay.
00:20:30 - But?
00:20:33 I mean, I have an interview.
00:20:35 - As, like, a columnist or-
00:20:39 As a reporter?
00:20:41 I said, "Thank you very much,
00:20:45 [Arnie] "Never have I heard someone
00:20:49 If he doesn't like it here,
00:20:51 That's part of my job
00:20:54 - I'm glad to see a little blood
00:20:57 - There's a recurring theme here.
00:21:01 - That's what I'm up against.
00:21:04 is that you are one of them!
00:21:06 I'm a commentator.
00:21:08 like everything's great,
00:21:11 There's overcrowding, there's crime,
00:21:15 Every time you turn around there's a new
00:21:18 That goes on all over the world.
00:21:22 Nothing's wrong. Everyone wants to think,
00:21:27 That's not it. Maybe-
00:21:30 I don't know. Maybe I'm sick of my column.
00:21:34 I don't- I don't find the things
00:21:38 John. John, you're the comic voice
00:21:42 You're a national treasure,
00:21:44 - Maybe a regional treasure.
00:21:48 - Thank you.
00:21:51 - Take a month off.
00:21:53 - I don't know.
00:21:57 - Then go to someplace where it's painful and sad.
00:22:08 [Exhales]
00:22:11 Oh, 40's gonna be tough, buddy.
00:22:18 But we knew that.
00:22:20 We knew this was when
00:22:23 Try to take us down a dark alley
00:22:26 You got a little more
00:22:30 but makes you look
00:22:34 We both lost a step.
00:22:36 I know.
00:22:39 How does it feel to have
00:22:42 You do everything you wanted to?
00:22:45 No, me neither.
00:22:50 All right. You hot?
00:22:59 You know what? Not today.
00:23:04 You've been on a leash
00:23:07 Go! Go!
00:23:15 I think he got a little bit
00:23:28 Go get it!
00:23:33 [Man]
00:23:36 It's just a change in me
00:23:40 Oh, my, my
00:23:45 Happiness, coming and going
00:23:48 I watch you look at me
00:23:52 I know just where I am
00:23:57 Well, I'm a lucky man
00:24:03 With fire in my hands
00:24:05 - Hey, get your dog!
00:24:14 No! No! Please, God, no!
00:24:16 No! No! No! No.
00:24:21 [Groans]
00:24:24 Come on!
00:24:26 Come here. Come here. That's okay.
00:24:29 Dude, that was not cool.
00:24:33 [Whistles]
00:24:37 [Siren Blips]
00:24:40 Great.
00:24:45 [Woman]
00:24:51 Man, you are the world's worst dog.
00:24:55 You know that? Right?
00:24:57 You were top five
00:24:59 and with this little stunt,
00:25:03 And I take my hat off to you.

00:25:37 Happy birthday to you
00:25:42 - [All Cheering]
00:25:46 You can help me. Hold on.
00:25:51 [All Cheering]
00:25:59 But don't beg, Marley.
00:26:02 It's not good. 'Cause we don't have to.
00:26:07 Tell me the truth.
00:26:11 - Completely. Yes. Thank you.
00:26:14 - I was. You guys got me.
00:26:18 Are you ready for
00:26:20 There's more? I don't need
00:26:28 - [Whispers] Happy birthday.
00:26:31 That was my blessing
00:26:35 That was months ago.
00:26:38 Well, then any other job.
00:26:40 - We'll follow you wherever you wanna go.
00:26:43 But I'm not gonna do that.
00:26:46 We got our friends.
00:26:49 And I got my poker game.
00:26:51 First of all, it's just an interview.
00:26:55 And second of all, honey,
00:26:58 That's right. I was wondering,
00:27:02 - I hired them. [Laughs]
00:27:04 is our life is here
00:27:07 Our life is wherever
00:27:10 - And you're not happy here.
00:27:12 You're not happy doing that column.
00:27:15 - I'm not- I'm not.
00:27:19 I feel it every time you sit an extra five
00:27:23 - I don't do that.
00:27:25 I'm checking on things in the car.
00:27:27 - I just think it's time for a change.
00:27:31 Maybe at 39, but I'm too- I don't know.
00:27:35 - It feels a little late to be making big changes.
00:27:38 - Uh-uh-uh-uh. No.
00:27:41 We're not old, John.
00:27:48 We can still surprise ourselves.
00:27:54 See, most girls would do a swan dive, but
00:28:03 So you ready for your other
00:28:05 Yes.
00:28:07 It's like an embarrassment
00:28:12 They just keep coming.
00:28:22 See, we're not old.
00:28:25 [Water Splashes]
00:28:33 [Arnie]
00:28:43 Just wanna wish you
00:28:46 Thanks. Yeah. It'll be good. I'm gonna
00:28:51 Yeah. There was a good chance that every
00:28:56 - No, no, no. I appreciate it just the same.
00:29:00 a mushy guy would tell you he's proud of you,
00:29:07 Well, I'm glad you're not that guy, sir.
00:29:12 All right. Okay.
00:29:16 Grogan, just for the record,
00:29:19 That's my specialty.
00:29:23 [Man]
00:29:25 By the river
00:29:30 Water running
00:29:32 Through my knees
00:29:37 Oh, mighty river
00:29:40 I would love to be like you
00:29:44 - [Conor] Are we here yet?
00:29:46 - Now?
00:29:48 - Now?
00:29:50 - Now? Are we here yet?
00:29:52 - Are we getting hot or cold?
00:29:55 - Why are we turning into here?
00:29:57 - Whoa!
00:30:02 Okay? Before the pandemonium.
00:30:07 - Here we go.
00:30:17 Marley! Marley, no!
00:30:22 - [Conor] Oh, nice.
00:30:31 Hey, Andy Rooney, if you're knocking off soon,
00:30:34 Okay, I'm ready.
00:30:38 Mark Twain said not to use exclamation points
00:30:42 but sometimes you gotta laugh
00:30:46 It's here! It's here! It's here! It's here!
00:30:50 - It's here! Come on. Come on!
00:30:54 It's here! It's here!
00:30:57 Come on. Look it!
00:31:03 - [Chattering]
00:31:17 Whoa!
00:31:21 - [Barking]
00:31:23 Remember, angels can fly,
00:31:29 Yeah. Now that one's coming.
00:31:31 - Lunch is ready!
00:31:34 - [John] Heading in. Let's go.
00:31:37 - Marley!
00:31:39 Marley, come on. Marley.
00:31:41 You know what, honey?
00:31:45 [Barking]
00:31:48 Thank you.
00:32:11 [Whispering] What are you doing in
00:32:15 Pretty good day.
00:32:18 I mean, the snow. Come on.
00:32:20 All right. Sleep tight.
00:32:30 - [John] Too much color?
00:32:33 I mean, don't get me wrong. It's a good
00:32:37 I want you to tell the story.
00:32:40 - I'm pretty sure I don't mention myself in there-
00:32:44 I still feel you in there.
00:32:46 And all I'm saying
00:32:49 [Inhales]
00:32:54 - Door's always open.
00:32:57 Hut!
00:33:03 Uh-oh. Here comes the old pro.
00:33:07 He shows up for the fourth quarter.
00:33:09 Yeah. Oh, yes!
00:33:12 He catches it. He fends off one guy.
00:33:16 He's running through.
00:33:19 They can't take him down.
00:33:23 Grogan goes down!
00:33:27 - You're home early.
00:33:30 I had to come home and teach these kids
00:33:34 Okay.
00:33:36 - Okay, guys, seriously, dinner's in an hour.
00:33:40 I want you to finish your homework and
00:33:43 - Yeah, take off your shoes!
00:33:45 Got him down. Got him down.
00:33:50 Ow.
00:33:53 My God.
00:33:55 I come home and
00:33:59 Okay.
00:34:03 - Come on.
00:34:06 Nothing's wrong.
00:34:10 Yeah. The football
00:34:15 Let's go.
00:34:17 I don't know. I just don't understand.
00:34:19 A year ago, you couldn't wait
00:34:23 I know. But now I got this guy going through
00:34:28 I gotta admit, sometimes I miss
00:34:31 - What?
00:34:35 You always wanting something
00:34:39 Are you happy?
00:34:42 I mean, none of this
00:34:45 No. No, it wasn't part of the plan.
00:34:48 But it's so much better.
00:34:51 I'm just sort of done making plans.
00:34:55 [Groans]
00:34:58 Hmm, seems like somebody
00:35:02 All right. Marley.
00:35:04 Come on. Come on, boy.
00:35:09 Oh, come on.
00:35:11 Now it's really coming down.
00:35:19 Marley? Marley?
00:35:24 Where'd he go? Marley?
00:35:27 - What's going on?
00:35:29 - He's not coming back.
00:35:33 Well, he couldn't have gone far. Marley?
00:35:37 I'll come with you. Hold on.
00:35:41 - Marley? I don't know where he could have gone.
00:35:44 Well, maybe he went
00:35:48 - I'll check in the woodshed.
00:35:52 Marley?
00:36:00 Marley?
00:36:02 Marley? Oh, Marley.
00:36:08 - Did you see anything?
00:36:16 - I gotta go talk to them.
00:36:21 Wow, it's pouring out there.
00:36:24 - Did you find him?
00:36:26 He's out exploring.
00:36:31 [Grunts]
00:36:34 Bobby says dogs, when they're
00:36:39 That's what his beagle did.
00:36:41 Mmm. Well, you know,
00:36:45 But, uh, not Labs like Marley.
00:36:48 He's just out causing trouble.
00:36:52 Okay, now, you finished
00:36:55 - Yep.
00:36:56 Nope? Well, let's make that a "yep."
00:36:59 Come on now.
00:37:06 Marley! Marley!
00:37:12 [Whistling]
00:37:20 Marley.
00:37:24 Marley. Ah, Marley. You okay?
00:37:28 - [Sighs]
00:37:31 Stay there.
00:37:35 Why did his stomach twist? We don't
00:37:40 Most likely he ate or drank something
00:37:44 I did manage to get a tube
00:37:48 - I think I untwisted it.
00:37:51 For now, he's good.
00:37:54 The problem is that once this happens,
00:37:58 And if it does, I don't know what
00:38:01 He's an older dog. I honestly don't think
00:38:05 Well, we have to make sure
00:38:08 Well, most likely,
00:38:12 Well, we also talked about that maybe
00:38:16 - Right.
00:38:19 We'll monitor that.
00:38:21 I'm just saying you may wanna prepare yourself
00:38:28 Maybe 10%% of dogs
00:38:32 What-What is that number based on?
00:38:35 - What is it based on?
00:38:39 is I bet that number's
00:38:42 - Regular dogs?
00:38:46 I know people probably say that
00:38:49 I'm not sure he really is a dog.
00:38:51 He once ate an answering machine.
00:38:54 He didn't chew it. He ate it. And then digested
00:38:58 Another time, my son had colic and
00:39:03 just stayed right there for nine hours
00:39:06 So I think maybe that
00:39:11 - But not to him.
00:39:14 Let's hope for the best.
00:39:16 I know he's gonna be okay.
00:39:19 I'll see you in the morning.
00:39:38 [Sighs]
00:39:42 - Oh, hi.
00:39:45 They're gonna-They're gonna
00:39:47 But he seemed better when I left.
00:39:50 The vet really seemed on top of it.
00:39:56 - Are you okay?
00:40:00 I'm reading your old columns.
00:40:05 Marley's in so many of them.
00:40:07 You still look at those?
00:40:09 Yeah, I do sometimes.
00:40:14 Even on the crappiest days-
00:40:17 the kids are driving me nuts,
00:40:22 and a hundred other things are wrong-
00:40:25 I always know that I have this.
00:40:29 It's five minutes of you.
00:40:32 Sometimes they're sad
00:40:38 silly or whatever,
00:40:44 And for those five minutes...
00:40:46 you make me feel better.
00:41:02 You should read them.
00:41:07 Might even make a nice book.
00:41:10 - A book?
00:41:23 [Phone Rings]
00:41:28 Hello?
00:41:32 All right. Thank you.
00:41:36 He's coming home.
00:41:39 [Sighs]
00:41:49 Is he there?
00:41:51 Of course he's there.
00:41:55 - How does he know we're coming?
00:42:00 Dogs know stuff like that.
00:42:02 - All dogs?
00:42:05 - Look, there he is! There he is! Marley.
00:42:13 Hi, Marley.
00:42:15 - Marley.
00:42:17 - I missed you at school.
00:42:21 - Okay.
00:42:23 [Barking]
00:42:30 - [John] Eagles?
00:42:33 I guarantee you.
00:42:35 - No.
00:42:38 - Hey. I'll see you tomorrow.
00:42:41 I said to myself, "That sorry
00:42:44 - What are you doing here?
00:42:49 You know what? It doesn't matter.
00:42:52 - It's good to see you.
00:42:55 - So you living in the city somewhere?
00:42:58 - More space for the kids.
00:43:01 Three. Here. Show you a little
00:43:06 - [Laughs] Wow, Jen's holding up.
00:43:09 Thanks, I think.
00:43:12 I see you-you finally
00:43:14 Colleen. She arrived after you left.
00:43:17 - What's with the ladybug getup?
00:43:21 And then we couldn't get her out of
00:43:25 And the reason why Marley
00:43:28 is because the antennas on it-
00:43:30 - Things don't change.
00:43:36 - I wish I didn't have this interview.
00:43:40 Conor's got a soccer game.
00:43:42 All right. Well, one of these days
00:43:45 Yeah, let's do that.
00:43:48 - Well, it was, uh, good to see you.
00:43:52 - Give Jenny my best, okay?
00:43:54 - Oh, uh, here. Here.
00:43:57 That's, uh-That's a great picture, John.
00:44:00 - You did okay.
00:44:03 - You did okay too. I'll see ya.
00:44:07 [Woman]
00:44:10 [Woman #2]
00:44:12 Don't do it to yourself. We're in Philly.
00:44:16 - Sebastian. Nice to meet you.
00:44:24 Hello?
00:44:31 Is anybody home?
00:44:38 Marley. Hey, Marley.
00:44:41 Hey. Hey. Marley. Marley.
00:44:44 Marley.
00:44:47 You didn't hear me, did you?
00:44:49 I just caught you
00:44:53 All right, let's go for a walk.
00:45:09 Come on. Come on.
00:45:13 You're almost to the top.
00:45:15 You know what? Come here.
00:45:17 This is a good spot right here.
00:45:28 I know you're a strong boy,
00:45:33 You know, when it's time.
00:45:36 I don't wanna make
00:45:40 You let me know
00:45:48 All right.
00:45:59 [Jenny]
00:46:02 There he is.
00:46:05 Marley.
00:46:08 Ah, honey, what are you
00:46:11 It's time to head upstairs.
00:46:15 Come on. Can you make it upstairs?
00:46:21 I think he's pretty
00:46:26 - I'll get him a blanket.
00:46:34 Lay down here for a second.
00:46:38 Take a load off.
00:46:42 Yeah. It's actually nice down here.
00:46:47 This might be better.
00:46:53 - It'd be twice a week, 600 words.
00:46:55 You know, everyday stuff.
00:46:59 I don't get it, John. I thought
00:47:02 I know I did, but I think
00:47:04 - I'm a columnist- a good one.
00:47:07 - Your wife's on the phone. She said it's important.
00:47:11 Think about it. Possible?
00:47:15 - Thanks. Hello?
00:47:17 I can't get him to come back inside.
00:47:20 He's just laying out there
00:47:37 - Hey.
00:47:39 Patrick came home.
00:47:42 Dr. Platt said that if he's comfortable,
00:47:48 he's just not getting better.
00:47:53 All right, I'm gonna take him in.
00:47:57 - Is he sick again?
00:48:01 He doesn't feel too good.
00:48:03 But I'm gonna take him into the doctor
00:48:06 It's all right, Marley.
00:48:14 You could take Lamby,
00:48:19 [Jenny]
00:48:21 Here, I'll take it.
00:48:27 Good-bye.
00:48:50 [Sniffling]
00:48:55 [Indistinct]
00:48:58 [Sniffles]
00:49:12 - Okay.
00:49:34 [Door Opens]
00:49:38 I've tried everything I did last time
00:49:42 Not able to get the tube down there.
00:49:45 The stomach is still twisted.
00:49:49 He's not strong enough.
00:50:01 - I like this one the best.
00:50:04 Oh, the mangoes. Yeah.
00:50:07 - [Phone Rings]
00:50:10 [John]
00:50:12 So, it's his stomach again.
00:50:15 - And they could do surgery, but-
00:50:19 [Sighs]
00:50:24 No, no, I think it's a good idea
00:50:27 and be with them.
00:50:30 I'm just gonna-
00:50:41 I love you, John.
00:50:45 I love you.
00:50:52 - All right.
00:50:55 - Okay.
00:50:57 All right. Thanks.
00:51:01 Look what I got for you.
00:51:05 What did Colleen say to you?
00:51:11 You remember chewing up that ear?
00:51:14 Well, it's tough to remember
00:51:18 It all starts to kind of run together.
00:51:23 [Inhales, Exhales]
00:51:25 [Sniffles]
00:51:55 It's okay. You don't have to do anything.
00:52:00 You don't have your usual energy.
00:52:04 You remember how we were
00:52:08 that you're the world's worst dog?
00:52:12 Don't believe it.
00:52:14 Don't believe any
00:52:16 'Cause you know
00:52:20 [Shudders]
00:52:22 You know what made you
00:52:26 is you loved us every day,
00:52:30 That's an amazing thing.
00:52:32 You know how much we love you?
00:52:35 We love you so much.
00:52:38 [Shuddering]
00:52:41 I love you more than anything.
00:52:45 I don't know exactly
00:52:50 but I want you to remember
00:52:54 You're a great dog.
00:53:09 [Dr. Platt]
00:53:12 You ready?
00:53:16 - Yeah, we're ready.
00:53:33 [No Audible Dialogue]
00:55:22 Okay. Get down.
00:55:26 [Grunts]
00:55:31 - He's wrapped in his blanket.
00:55:34 Do you guys wanna read
00:55:39 Mine's a picture of me and Marley...
00:55:41 grasshoppers and ice cream.
00:55:44 Mommy wrote what I said.
00:55:46 "Dear Marley, I will
00:55:52 And these are kisses.
00:55:55 - That's beautiful.
00:55:57 You wanna put it in?
00:56:00 Set it down.
00:56:04 [John]
00:56:06 That's a great picture.
00:56:13 "Dear Marley, I loved you all my life.
00:56:16 "I hope you like heaven
00:56:19 Your brother, Conor Richard Grogan."
00:56:26 [John]
00:56:29 Patrick, do you wanna say something?
00:56:34 [Shudders]
00:56:40 I'd like to give him something.
00:56:49 This necklace.
00:56:53 It's been on quite a journey.
00:57:02 Your dad gave it to me...
00:57:05 to celebrate the beginning
00:57:09 But, you know-
00:57:12 [Voice Cracking]
00:57:15 [Sniffles]
00:57:21 Bye, Clearance Puppy.
00:57:51 [John Narrating]
00:57:53 or big homes or designer clothes.
00:57:56 A waterlogged stick
00:58:00 A dog doesn't care
00:58:02 clever or dull, smart or dumb.
00:58:06 Give 'em your heart
00:58:15 How many people
00:58:18 How many people can make you
00:58:28 How many people can
