:14:02
I'm so sorry about what happened.
:14:05
Did you ever get your birthday present
taken away from you?
:14:13
Your father just doesn't think
you're quite ready for a dog yet.
:14:17
I am ready to have a dog. I'm 9.
:14:21
Lots of kids younger
than me have dogs.
:14:24
Ralph Atkinson. He's only 3.
:14:28
He has two dogs, a cat and bird.
:14:31
He can stick his head
in the dog's mouth.
:14:34
That's impressive.
:14:36
I can take care of a dog, Mom.
:14:39
Really, I can.
:14:50
You just be a big boy
about this, okay?
:15:19
He'll be fine.
:15:23
I don't think so.
:15:24
You know...
:15:26
...if anybody here
deserves to be angry, it's me.
:15:29
You went behind my back.
:15:32
You didn't give me any choice.
I tried to reason with you.
:15:37
-That was dishonest.
-You want to talk about honesty?
:15:40
Then you tell the truth.
:15:42
-Why don't you want him to have a dog?
-I already told you.
:15:47
He's a little boy,
and a dog is a big responsibility.
:15:51
He's not a baby. He's a
responsible boy who needs a friend.
:15:56
And what happens when
he becomes attached to that dog?
:15:59
Learns to love it?
