[00:00.01] Episode 07: Man's Best Friend ACT III
[00:05.38] OK.
[00:08.17] If you want to adopt an animal,
[00:10.64] first we need to know some references.
[00:12.95] References?
[00:14.74] People we know?
[00:16.49] Friends, teachers....
[00:19.19] We need to talk to some people about you.
[00:21.56] We want to be sure that you're responsible
[00:23.83] and that you can take good care of an animal.
[00:26.58] Then you have to fill out this form
[00:28.46] about your family background.
[00:31.02] Is that it?
[00:32.24] No, there's more.
[00:34.35] We need to know about your history with animals.
[00:37.97] Have you ever owned an animal?
[00:39.53] Yes.
[00:41.09] We had a cat when I was eight years old.
[00:43.49] I love cats.
[00:45.05] Do you have any animals now?
[00:47.11] Unfortunately, no.
[00:49.40] Anything else?
[00:50.87] We also like to know
[00:52.52] your reasons for wanting an animal.
[00:54.30] Just to hold it and cuddle with it.
[00:56.82] Just to have as a pet.
[00:58.31] I love animals.
[01:01.50] To have a friend -- a pal.
[01:04.71] You know, man's best friend is his dog.
[01:08.40] And one thing more.
[01:09.62] If you're under twenty-one years of age ...
[01:11.43] That's me.
[01:12.37] Then an adult must sign for you.
[01:14.07] Uh-oh.
[01:15.69] No problem.
[01:16.95] My parents will think it's a good idea.
[01:19.32] I'll be back with them.
[01:20.55] If the real owners don't come to claim Gemma ...
[01:24.00] After forty-eight hours.
[01:25.54] But please call first.
[01:27.98] Thanks for your information and for being so helpful.
[01:31.42] It's my pleasure.
[01:32.68] Nice talking to both of you.
[01:34.29] Thanks again.
[01:35.06] Bye.
[01:37.90] Maybe the real owners will come to claim her.
[01:40.66] Her eyes look so sad.
[01:42.47] She must really miss them.
[01:44.04] I see you're both animal lovers.
[01:45.98] We are.
[01:47.18] Good-bye, Miss Aborn.
[01:48.39] We'll call in a couple of days.
[01:49.81] Good-bye, and thanks for bringing Gemma in.
[01:53.06] Bye.
[02:03.70] I keep thinking about the dog -- about Gemma,
[02:06.69] alone in the animal shelter.
[02:08.54] I know.
[02:10.55] But I promise you, Alexandra,
[02:12.04] the dog is just fine.
[02:13.79] They're very kind to the animals.
[02:16.04] I know they are.
[02:16.81] I mean about her being alone.
[02:19.67] Even if they are kind to Gemma,
[02:21.18] she's still alone, without her family.
[02:24.06] Ready, folks?
[02:25.53] Are you ready, Alexandra?
[02:26.84] Yes, I'm ready.
[02:28.48] I'll have the chef's salad, please.
[02:31.39] I will have a cheeseburger, medium rare,
[02:34.70] with raw onion, and french fries, please.
[02:37.87] Anything to drink?
[02:39.00] A diet cola, please.
[02:41.28] Ginger ale with lots of ice for me, thank you.
[02:43.63] I've got it.
[02:44.40] Thanks.
[02:46.85] Aren't you surprised
[02:48.02] that the animal shelter is so careful
[02:49.80] about finding homes for the animals?
[02:51.69] No, I'm not.
[02:53.72] And a cheeseburger, medium rare,
[02:55.55] with onion and french fries.
[02:57.59] And a ginger ale with lots of ice.
[03:00.83] Salad dressing?
[03:03.60] Hey, I wanted you to hear my new sound system
[03:05.82] when the dog scratched on the front door.
[03:08.37] Let's finish eating,
[03:09.34] and then we'll go back to my house.
[03:11.87] I want you to hear my new tapes.
[03:13.57] I've got some great new dance music.
[03:35.51] Hello.
[03:36.07] Stewart residence.
[03:37.49] Hello.
[03:37.93] Is Robbie Stewart there?
[03:39.39] This is he.
[03:40.00] Who's this?
[03:41.02] This is Linda Aborn from the animal shelter.
[03:43.98] It's Linda from the animal shelter.
[03:46.75] Yes, Linda.
[03:47.75] Hi.
[03:48.88] We have good news and bad news, Robbie.
[03:51.01] Oh?
[03:52.04] The good news is that the Levinsons have come by
[03:54.35] to pick up the dog.
[03:55.65] The bad news is, you won't be able to adopt the dog.
[03:59.50] That's OK.
[04:01.05] Come by one day and look at some of the other dogs.
[04:03.97] I'm sure there's one for you.
[04:05.86] Thanks, Robbie.
[04:06.81] And the Levinsons thank you for bringing their dog to us.
[04:10.37] Thanks, Linda.
[04:11.79] Bye.
[04:21.20] The owners claimed Gemma?
[04:23.02] That's right.
[04:24.62] I'm glad for the dog.
[04:26.89] I guess I am, too.
[04:29.18] She said if I come by,
[04:30.35] she'll help me find another dog.
[04:35.05] Come on. Let's dance.
