第５１話　　我が家の新入り　　And They Call It Puppy Love

冒頭より、

Da: Michelle, you wanna help daddy separate the laundry?
Mi: I'm not busy.
Da: Okay. Everything red, green, yellow, or bright color goes in this pile.
    And everything white goes in this pile. You got it?
Mi: Got it, dude. White. Green. Red.
Da: Oh, no, Michelle. No food in the laundry.
Mi: I'm sorry.
Da: Oh, no, honey. It's not your fault.
    Daddy didn't explain it right. I was a bad boy.
Mi: Go to your room.
Da: Okay, but will you come with me?
Mi: I'm not busy.


オープニングの歌が終わり、ミニーがでてくる前のところ

Jo: Hi,Michelle.
Mi: Wou wou wou!
Jo: Oh, isn't that nice? Your doggy said hello.
Mi: No, that was me.
Je: Danny, you're not driving me to the DMV. You drive like a little old lady.
    I'm taking my motorcycle.
Da: Oh, no you're not. Your driver's license expired two months ago.
Je: So I forgot to renew it. I can get away with one more drive down to the DMV.
Da: Jesse, the law is the law. Don't make me take away your keys.
Je: I hope you're never gonna have real power.
Da: Michelle, keep your eye on Joey for me.
Jo: Look at this, Michelle. Psychic hit by lightning.
    Boy, if he was any good, he would've seen that coming.

ミニーが現れたところ

Jo: Michelle, did you eat my peanut butter sandwich?
Mi: Doggy ate it.
Jo: Now, you know that's not true. Now where did you hide it?
Mi: The doggy ate it.
Jo: Now, I know the doggy didn't eat it, 'cause I can see inside his tummy.
Mi: Joey.
Jo: Wow, there is a dog in our yard.
Mi: I told you so.
Jo: Hey, little guy, what are you doing here? Oh, like the dog is gonna answer me.
    Are you friendly? Oh, that's sweet. Oh, that's wet. Oh, that's enough.
    Oh, your tag says you had all your shots, and your name is Minnie.
Mi: Hi, Minnie.
Jo: Can you shake hands? Look.
St: There's a dog in our yard. We got a dog! We got a dog! It is our dog, 
    isn't it? It's in our yard, so it must be our dog. We got a dog.
Jo: Steph, Minnie is not our dog. Her tag says she's from.. Ohio?
St: Where's Ohio?
Jo: Well, It's up street about.. two thousand miles.
St: She came all this way just to live with us. Well, it was worth to trip. 
    You're gonna love it here. Come on, Minnie, I'll show you around.
Jo: Uh.. Steph.
St: Come on in, Minnie. But wipe your feet first. Daddy's gonna love 
    you. This is the kitchen. We'll set an extra plate for you tonight.
    Come on, I'll show your new room.
Jo: Steph. Steph, we've got to talk.
St: This is my sister Michelle's room. This is the bath, in case you need it.
    No Minnie, that's Uncle Jesse's room.
    Uh.. Minnie, that is not a good place to hang out.
Jo: I'll be right back, Michelle. Steph, what is the dog doing on Jesse's bed?
St: Joey, she's come two thousand miles. Her feet are tired.
DJ: I'm back from school, I'm going over to Kimmy's. That's a dog, right?
St: This is our new dog Minnie. She's from Ohio.
DJ: Come here, girl. Hi, Minnie. Oh, oh, look she loves to hug.
    Oh, she's a Tanner already.
Jo: Girls, I love the dog as much as you do, but we can't keep her.
St: How can you say this? Don't you want a dog?
Jo: Of course, I do. I've wanted a dog my whole life,
    but this dog already has an owner.
DJ: But if the owner doesn't want her, we can keep her, right?
Jo: Well, personally I would love that, but your dad may feel differently
St: Then.. let's not tell him.
DJ: What are you gonna do?
    Stick a dress on her and pretend she's a new friend from school?
St: Works for me. Come on, let's all take a nap together.

Da: Hey, Joey. What are you doing with the bowl of water?
Jo: Uh.. I'm very thirsty. Your driver license..
Je: Do, not, ask, me, about, my, written, test, coppish?
Jo: Coppish. So, Danny, what happened with Jesse's written test?
Da: Well, he's got his name right, and most of his address.
Je: I mean, why do they have such idiotic questions?
    Nobody knows how far you're supporsed to park from railroad track.
JD: Seven and half feet.
Je: OK, two people know. I've gotta get back there tomorrow, and eat that test.
    I can't believe I've failed.
Jo: How did you pass the test the last time?
Je: Well, well, I accidentally got a glimpse of my neighbor's paper.
    This time, they passed out different test everyone in the room.
    It's like they don't trust us or something.
Da: I don't get it. I drive the freeways, they give every idiot in the world
    their driver's license.
Jo: Not every idiot.
Je: Look at this. I'm taking lip from a guy who still chews Flintstones Vitamins.
    Look out.
DJ: Joey, what did dad say about.. You know who?
Jo: I haven't talked to him yet.
DS: Bye.
Da: Hold it. OK, what's going on, and how much is it gonna cost me?
St: You know, Dad, we've been thinking.
    What we need around here is someone from.. maybe.. Ohio.
Da: Well, maybe, we do need someone from Ohio,
    but I'd like to hear more about this before I go ahead and order one.
Je: Michelle, I know you're in there. Come on out, Michelle, OK, young lady,
    I'm gonna come in and get you. I'm gonna come in and get you. Ah..
Je: What are you doing here?
Mi: ..
Je: Where do you come from?
Mi: ..
Je: The likely story.

子犬が生まれるところ

DJ: Here comes a puppy.
Mi: Wow, baby.
Je: This is the most amazing thing that's ever happend in my bed.
St: Look, She's cleaning off the puppy. How does she know what to do?
Jo: That's part of nature, Steph.
DJ: Nature is so awesome. 
Je: I can't beleive we were just fighting about Minnie having puppies.
    This is so beautiful. You know, it makes you think about
    what's really important in life, doesn't it? 
Jo: Ya, Like being able to share this moment with people you really love.
DJ: This is so incredible. Yesterday, these puppies were not even here.
    And now they are, and seeing them being born. It's like watching a miracle.
Da: I'm so glad you girls could see this. Now, maybe you can understand
    how I thought the day each of you were born. My three little miracles.
Je: Cute.
DJ: It's so little.
Jo: Yeah, they're tiny.
Je: Why did you pick my bed? Can you watch the drooling, please.
Da: Oh, man, I got enough fur in this thing to build another dog.
Jo: Minnie's owner just showed up.
Da: He's here. I'm sorry girls, it's time to bring in the troops. Come on, Minnie.
DJ: Here we go, puppies.
Jo: OK, OK. We got bachelor No.1. Oh, bachelor No.2.
    OK, bachelor No.3's right here. bachelor No.4 ...
Je: Look what I just found in my bed. Four-legged uncle-biter.
Fo: Hi, I'm Frank Fludd. Minnie, Minnie, oh, Minnie, come over here and gimmie a kiss.
    Oh, thank for taking such good care of Minnie and her puppies.
    Oh, she was really lucky to find such nice people.
Da: Well, we were really lucky to find such a sweet dog.
    She sheds like crazy, but I guess it's not really her fault, huh?
    Truth is, if you hadn't claim her, we probably would've kept'em all right here.
Fo: Oh, I can't wait to get those little guys home.
St: I'll never ever ever ever forget you.
Je: Say, uh, Frank, would you mind if I drive the girls over once in a while
    to visit the puppies? 
Fr: I tell you what, how would you like to keep one of Minnie's puppies?
St: Would we?  Could we?
DJ: Yeah, dad, can we?
Da: You guys know how I feel about dogs.
DJ: You just said you wouldn't mind keeping all of them.
Da: Well, that was when I thought the dogs were leaving.
St: We promise we'll take care of it.
Jo: Come on, Danny, I've wanted a dog my whole life. Oh, look at that face.
Je: Danny, be strong. Think dirt.
Da: I can't help, but I'm wimp, and look at that face. All right, we can have a puppy.
DJ: Yes! Thank you.
St: ...Right.
DJ: Michelle, you pick the puppy.
Mi: I like this puppy.
Je: The one that likes my bed?
