- [Scrappy] This is a story of some simple acts of kindness

that happened in this tiny part of the world.

Kindness can truly make a difference.

- (sighs) I love my boss.

I love my boss.

I love my boss.

(sighs) I love my boss.

I love my boss.

I love my boss.

My boss loves me.

I love my boss.

(sighs) Good morning.

- Morning, Dad.

Is it still dark out?

- It is.

You know I love you, right?

I have to start tying you up at night?

- Well in just don't tie the k-k-knots.

- Yeah, well, in 22 minutes and 34 seconds,

we have to be walking out that door.

- Round it up to 25.

- I'm not sure if my boss would appreciate me being late.

- Dad?

- Yes.

- Does your boss love you?

What?

No (chuckles), you're just stalling, come on.

Up, let's go.

Come on.

- Do you know where my shoes are?

- They're probably where you left them.

How come you're not ready yet, Link?

Did you at least eat your toast?

- Can't remember where I left it last.

- Well, could you please go find it?

You've gotta eat something.

Hey, come on.

[Lincoln] It's 6:50 not 7:35.

It's too early.

- It's just a little early.

- A little e-e-early?

- I have an important meeting today.

- What am I gonna do until they open?

- Just go over there, sit down on the benches

until they open the doors.

- [Mom] One more time.

Well, it's like nobody lives here.

Did you even hear me ring the doorbell?

- You usually use your own key.

- Well, if I remember right, you were the one that said,

"Mom, you need to respect my privacy."

Do you remember that one?

- Like you've ever done that.

(sighs) Why is it so stuffy in here?

Please open a door and let some air in.

- I like it the way it is, Mom.

- Didn't you like the meatloaf?

- Yeah, it was good.

You don't have to cook me food, right, you know that.

- But, listen, I need to talk to you.

I'm gonna make us some coffee

and then you and I, we're gonna have a chat.

- Sure.

- (sighs) I'm really concerned about you.

A man your age should be married by now.

You really need to stop blaming yourself

and get out of this house.

- I do get out.

I go to work every day.

- I mean get out of this house and get some fresh air.

- You know, I've been thinking about going camping soon.

- Camping is actually getting further away from people.

- Well, I don't know why you care so much

if I get married or not anyways.

- Because I may not be around forever.

Well, I've said my piece.

Eat it while it's warm.

Okay.

- New can.

Mom.

Thank God.

Oo.

That's bad.

Come here.

You're a dirty thing, aren't you?

Where did you come from?

- [Scrappy] That was the day he released me

from that wretched box.

Who was this giant looking down at me?

All I knew was that he was kind

and that's all that mattered to me.

- What's the matter?

I mean, here let me get you a piece.

Not too close, then aren't you?

(chuckles) now I got you.

Such a good little guy.

- I just can't believe how much longer it takes

to get into the doctor's office.

For Pete's sake, I mean I made an appointment well I,

you got a dog.

My gosh.

You never said you were getting a dog.

- That's 'cause it was odd how I got him.

- Wait a minute.

It's a he?

- Yeah, why?

- Because boy dogs pee everywhere.

You didn't think about that?

- You'll never believe where I found him.

Somebody threw him away in the alley, in the garbage.

Can you believe that?

Somebody actually threw that dog away.

- I cannot, that's the most horrible thing

I've ever heard.

- That's what I thought.

- You know, one good thing about this dog is,

you sure are smiling and I like that.

But, son, have you really thought this through?

Puppies are a lot of work.

- I know.

- Hey s-s-stinkin'.

Look, stinkin's an artist.

- Stop it.

- And, what are you going to do?

- N-n-nothing.

- N-n-nothing.

- Why is your stuff all over the grass?

- I tripped and fell and it all f-f-fell out.

- You fell, are you okay?

- I'm fine.

You don't have to pick me up from school anymore.

I'm old enough to w-w-walk home by myself.

- I like picking you up from school.

Look, I'm sorry I got caught up at work today.

Come on.

- [Scrappy] I was a puppy.

Puppies have a lot of energy

especially when they're left home all day.

It's what we do.

We chew stuff up.

- Scrappy.

If it's gonna work out.

- [Scrappy] The tough part about being a dog

is you never know where you're going next.

But, to be totally honest, I had a feeling

it wasn't a good place.

- Don't worry, they'll find you a good home.

Hey, hey, what are you doing?

What you doing?

Okay, okay, you can stay on one condition.

Okay.

[Scrappy] I almost forgot about that dreaded cage.

- Here, this is gonna be your new home while I'm at work.

- [Scrappy] I hated that thing.

- [Hudson] So, get used to it.

- [Scrappy] But, it's what humans do.

They lock stuff up.

A couple years went by and that cage

got a whole lot smaller.

- Hi, boy.

Hey, Scrappy, boy.

Come on.

- [Scrappy] The thing about that cage,

I quickly forgot about how much I hated that thing

every time I was let out.

- It's so nice to see you.

How are you?

How are you, Scrappy?

Look who's hugging me.

- [Scrappy] That became my motto.

You can never get enough hugs.

- Let's see, so your last job you were a babysitter.

- Um, well, not exactly a babysitter.

I was a nanny.

- Yes, I looked after a young girl.

She was a handful for her parents.

I homeschooled her and took care of her needs.

- Her needs?

- Right, she was very disabled.

She couldn't walk or feed herself.

She needed constant attention.

I see.

Well, I'm gonna be honest with you, I mean,

most of the clients that I deal with are receptionists

or secretary, answer the phones type of people,

you know what I mean.

- Yes, um, that's why I'm here.

- Okay.

Well, good, so why did you leave that other job.

- The little girl's illness finally caught up with her

and she passed.

- I was very attached to her.

Her passing really affected me.

So, that's when I knew it was time for a change.

I see.

And, then that's when you moved here to the United States.

- Yes, um, you should have proof of my dual citizenship.

- Yes, yes, I see it.

- My father was an American.

He has since passed away.

Okay, well yes, it all makes sense.

Like I told you, the jobs that I can offer you

are secretarial, office, and that kind of stuff.

- That's fine.

- Okay, well, then

why don't we give these a shot?

Okay?

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Good luck on that, too.

- Right.

- Okay, I have somebody coming in next, so...

- Right. - Yes.

- I, I'll get going.

Thank you very much. - Okay.

- Buh bye.

- Good luck.

- Sorry to keep you waiting.

I was on the phone with a client from Africa.

He's been, how you say, difficult.

Your resume please.

Of course.

- Thank you.

Looks good.

Your passport up to date?

- Yes, my passport is up to date.

- Good 'cause I am looking for someone who will travel

to various places.

- Travel to various places?

- Yes, that is what I do.

I travel the world.

I collect artifacts.

I sell them to my clients.

It is very good money, so, I would, of course,

be paying for all your expenses.

Um.

- So, it is assistant job.

You would be assisting me.

- I, I don't think I'm qualified for this job (chuckles).

- You're married.

- Nn, something like that.

Thank you for your time.

- But, it is good job, good pay,

you travel the world.

First class accommodations.

- There you go.

What does he want?

- Everything o... o-okay, Dad?

- Yeah, everything's fine.

You just start eating, okay?

Hey.

No, yeah, no, I saw the email.

Look he didn't appear to be dissatisfied.

No, it, hang on.

Hey, Link, start eating.

No, yes, no, well, I'll take care of it in the morning.

Okay?

I understand.

Look, and we'll include that in the disclosure in the, yes.

- I-it has cinnamon.

- I don't think it has cinnamon.

No, no, I'm just...

Okay, no, we will take care of it tomorrow.

I will get everybody on the same page, I promise.

Okay I'll, I'll talk to you later.

Keep breathing.

- [Adam] In two seconds.

Come on.

Can you hear me?

- I can hear you.

I'm sorry I cause you so much trouble.

- Link, you're never any trouble to me.

- I promise I'll work on doing e-e-everything better.

- Did something happen at school today?

- I just don't understand why all the other kids

make fun of my name.

Lincoln was a great man.

- Yeah.

I'm gonna have to give them a call again.

They just don't get it.

- Lincoln was a great president.

He did a l-l-lot for our country.

- Kids can be mean.

It's not your fault.

It's about them, not you.

Let's get some rest.

Come on.

I've accepted your decision and I haven't bothered you,

but you and I both know that Lincoln's a lot to deal with.

Thanks for not helping.

- Mom, I wanted to show you that I got a B plus

on my homework.

- Let me see.

Did you work hard for that B plus?

- Yeah.

- You know, something tells me you would've got an A plus

if were working on that ridiculous stutter of yours.

- I'm sorry, I promise I'll w-w-work on it.

- You know what?

Actions speak louder than promises.

Remember that, Link.

Go on, get outta here.

[Scrappy] Squirrels.

I have a thing for squirrels.

I don't know what it is about them

but they make me crazy and I just...

- Hey, let him be.

You're not gonna chase anybody.

- [Mother] Please move.

- Just tell me the real reason why.

- I can't do this anymore.

- I get it.

You don't wanna be married.

All right?

But, what about him?

- Just, please, just move.

- You don't wanna be a mom?

- [Mother] I guess.

- I wanna hear you say it.

- Okay, I don't wanna be his mother anymore, okay?

Now, can you get out of my way?

- Lincoln?

Link?

Link?

Lincoln.

Link.

Link, where are you?

Link.

Link, Lincoln!

Lincoln!

Lincoln!

Lincoln!

What are you doing in the closet?

Why didn't you answer me?

- I just wanted to t-t-take a nap.

- In the closet?

Okay.

- So, as you know, things didn't turn out too well

on those interviews, I'm afraid.

- Right.

- Yeah.

Perhaps it wasn't meant to be.

Perhaps God wants me to go back home.

- I think today might be your lucky day.

A new job posting came in this morning

that I think you're perfect for.

- Now, I know you had some hardships

with your last job with the little girl dying and all that.

But, I think you're perfect for this one.

- Really?

- Yes, yes.

You see, there's this little boy

who's been having some hardships and difficulties

with his social skills and, you know, other minor things.

And, he needs to be homeschooled.

He needs to be taken care of.

And, it's a full-time job.

Here's the guy's name and address.

- Thank you.

Um...

Thank you for your time.

(sighs) God.

Are you wanting me to go back home?

Can you give me a sign please?

Hello.

- Yeah, now, listen, you're thinking of not going

on that interview, aren't you?

- You're right.

I was considering going back to England

and living with my sister and her family.

Really?

- It's a bad idea, isn't it?

But, it's the only plan I have.

- Now listen, you said something to me

that struck a chord.

You said that you thought perhaps God wanted you to go back.

- [Ms. Davies] Yes.

- I think it's the other way around.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Let me tell you a quick story, okay?

Couple of years back, I was in a bad place.

I mean, a really bad place.

And, a perfect stranger told me to start over.

- [Ms. Davies] So, you think I should start over?

- No, no, no, no.

Okay, forget that story.

I could hear it in the father's voice.

They need you.

- [Ms. Davies] Really?

- They do, they need you.

Okay, now, I gotta go.

I got another appointment.

- Thank you so much for all your help.

Just get it over with already.

Right.

- Can I help you?

- Hello, I'm...

I'll start again.

My name is Ms. Davies and I'm from the agency.

You've probably already found someone to take care

of your boy, haven't you?

So, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna go so...

- Actually, I haven't.

Would you like to come in?

- [Adam] Can I get you some tea?

- Please, that would be grand.

Lincoln, I've got someone here for you to meet.

- Hello.

You must be Lincoln.

- Come on, don't be shy.

- Are you from England?

- Yes, I am from England.

Do you like castles?

- Yeah, they're p-p-pretty neat.

- We have them all over the place.

Kings and queens lived in them,

but some people still live in them to this day.

Do you know what we call the old castles?

- No, what?

- We call them crumblies.

- Crumblies?

- Because they're so old, they begin to crumble.

- Does everyone in England d-d-dress like you?

Not exactly.

It's just something I prefer to wear.

Thank you.

My resume.

- So, you have some experience with homeschooling.

- I was a public school teacher for 12 years.

I taught children about your age.

- That's quite the last job you had.

- Yes, it was, it was very intense.

- Did the family no longer need you?

- Right, why did I stop working there?

Um...

The young girl succumbed to an unfortunate circumstance.

- Yeah.

- So, can you start tonight?

- I-I have the job?

- Sure.

Wonderful.

- [Lincoln] Lincoln learned the power of words

and u-u-used them well.

- Excellent.

All right.

- Ms. Davies, why do you wear black gloves?

- Well, I have a skin disorder.

I'm a bit embarrassed by it, but the gloves help.

- Can I see them?

- (chuckles) You want to see my hands.

All right.

- [Lincoln] Do they h-h-hurt?

- If I stopped wearing the gloves they would.

Don't worry, they're not contagious.

- Can I t-t-touch them?

- Why is it that young boys are interested

in gross things?

- I don't think they're gross.

They feel normal.

Do people make fun of your hands?

- Yes, sometimes they do.

All right.

Off to bed with you, lovely boy.

- Good night.

- (chuckles) Good night.

- So, what do you think?

Do you think that'll make a good painting?

What, you don't like it?

Well, aren't you picky?

- I've been in the house looking everywhere for you.

I was beginning to get worried.

- Hi, Mom.

- Hi.

I brought you some leftovers.

- You know you don't have to do that.

- I know, but how do I know you're eating right?

I see you're back to painting.

- Yeah, it's been a while.

- Looks good, I like it.

I need to talk to you about something.

Do you remember my friend Charlotte?

- I know you have a friend named Charlotte.

- I forgot, you met her.

Well anyway, I was talking to Charlotte

about your situation, you know, living alone,

steady job, loves animals.

Well, her daughter is a widower now.

Husband had a heart attack.

Probably all that extra weight, if you ask me.

- Mom, you're driving me crazy!

Okay, what did you wanna tell me?

- Okay, Charlotte and I were talking and we decided

that we wanted to fix you up on a blind date.

What?

- It never works out when you set me up on a date.

- Yes, it does.

- No, it doesn't.

- Okay, maybe that one time.

- No, it was four times.

- No, no.

- Yes, it was.

And, have you ever thought that maybe I enjoy being single?

- That's ridiculous because everybody wants someone.

- Why do you care so much if I'm married or not?

- Because I'm not gonna be around forever.

And, who's gonna take care of you when I'm gone?

I know you're lonely.

I just wanna help.

- I'm sorry, Mom.

I'm sorry.

- What time did my Dad say he would be getting h-h-home?

- He didn't say, but he said he'd check in on you

while you're sleeping.

How 'bout we give it another try.

- R-r-Roy wonder much.

Jumper would t-t-too.

They make fun of me at my school 'cause of the way I talk.

- I'm afraid I have a confession to make.

I stutter, too.

- Not like I do.

Yes.

- But, I haven't heard you stutter once.

- Well, that's because of something I learned

to do years ago.

- What was it?

- Can I tell you a story?

Well, this was a long time ago.

You see I loved the theater.

Theaters are everywhere in England.

Almost every corner.

- Every corner?

- Well, not quite, but there are a lot of them.

Anyway, was rehearsing for this play.

I was to play the princess that lived in a castle.

Let's just say they weren't exactly thrilled

with my stuttering.

And, they almost cast another much prettier girl.

- What did you d-d-do?

- Well, the director was so frustrated with me

that he grabbed a chair and he threw it across the stage.

And, then he sneers over at me,

looks me in the eye and screams out

in this big booming voice,

"Just be the princess already!"

- Were you scared?

- Well, yes, I was.

And, then he, he shouted out, "From the beginning."

So, you know what I did?

I took a deep breath and I closed my eyes

and I imagined myself the most beautiful princess

loved by all the people of the court.

And finally, when I spoke, the words of the princess

came out of my mouth perfectly.

- Wow.

- And, from that day forward, I imagined myself

that wonderful woman loved by all and I spoke through her.

- Who is the w-w-woman?

- Well, she was simply a better version of me

and soon I became that woman and then the stuttering

grew less and less until finally one day

it vanished altogether.

- Do you think it would w-w-work with me?

It may.

Let's try something.

All right, close your eyes.

Take a deep breath.

I want you to imagine a boy.

He is smart, he is funny.

And, people adore him.

(chuckles) Isn't he wonderful?

Okay, let's stand you up.

Shoulders back, chin up.

Can you still see that boy in your mind?

Now, repeat after me.

My name is Lincoln.

- My name is Lincoln.

- I was named after one of the greatest president

that ever lived.

- I was named after one of the greatest presidents

that ever lived.

- I am smart, I am funny,

and everyone loves to hear me talk.

- I am smart, I am strong,

and everyone loves to hear me talk.

- Lincoln, that was perfect!

You didn't stutter once!

- I didn't?

- No, you didn't!

Come here, lovely boy.

That was great.

One more thing.

I've never told anyone about my character before.

You're the only person I've ever told.

- So, I shouldn't tell anyone?

- Exactly.

Think of it like your little secret.

That was so good.

Lincoln.

[Scrappy] Jackrabbits.

I have a thing for jackrabbits, they...

- [Hudson] Scrappy!

- [Scrappy] Dang, maybe next time, buddy.

There you go.

That's a good boy.

We can, it's pretty comfortable, isn't it?

Yeah?

Are you a happy guy?

- [Scrappy] Was that a bird?

I can't take it anymore.

Let me out, let me out, let me out,

let me out, let me out!

You're mine, buddy.

Where'd you go?

Scrappy.

What do you think, buddy?

(groans) Did you sleep good?

Did we?

Scrappy?

Scrappy!

Scrappy.

Scrappy.

Scrappy.

Scrappy.

Scrappy!

Scrappy.

Scrappy.

Scrappy.

Scrappy!

Scrappy!

Scrappy!

Scrappy!

So, that would make it

515, wouldn't it?

Hello.

- Dad!

- Hey, buddy.

You working on some homework?

- His math has greatly improved, hasn't it, Lincoln?

- You've been working really hard.

You know what I think?

I think you and I deserve a day trip tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

Sure, why not.

Things at work are going really well

thanks to Ms. Davies.

- Dad?

- [Adam] What?

- Where are we going?

- You know what?

I think that's gonna be a surprise.

I think we could all use a day off tomorrow.

You can enjoy your day off.

We'll be back tomorrow night.

Think I'm gonna go get some stuff done.

Okay?

You ready to go?

- Yeah, let's go.

Do you miss your old school?

- No.

- So, you'd like Ms. Davies to keep working with you?

- [Lincoln] Yeah, why?

- I just thought I'd ask.

- [Lincoln] Why couldn't she come with us?

- (sighs) Because she's not family.

- [Lincoln] Is Mom still our family?

- Your mom will always be your mom.

- [Lincoln] I thought families lived together.

- You're right, they should live together.

Just sometimes they don't.

- [Lincoln] (sighs) I still don't get it.

- Do you miss Mom?

- [Lincoln] Do I miss Mom?

Um, yeah, I guess.

I miss Ms. Davies.

- It's nice out here.

You know I love you, right?

- Love you, too.

- [Scrappy] I think someone's following me.

- Come here.

[Scrappy] It's a boy.

He seems nice.

- Lincoln.

Lincoln.

Lincoln!

Link!

[Scrappy] Water.

Water.

- Link!

Link!

- [Scrappy] We can never get enough hugs.

- Link!

Link!

Lincoln.

Lincoln, come to me, all right?

Back away from the dog.

- No.

- Come to me, now.

Come here, come here, come here.

Hey, you can't just be feeding wild dogs

that are out here in desert all right,

We have to leave him here.

Come on, let's go.

Don't make eye contact.

Come on.

- [Scrappy] Where are you guys going?

- We can't just leave him here.

- We're not taking him with us.

- Dad.

Dad, he likes me.

- [Scrappy] Still don't understand why humans

like to bathe us.

I mean, what's wrong with a little dirt anyway?

Get out, out, out, grab the towel.

You gotta wipe him down.

Kinda funny looking.

- [Scrappy] I'm funny looking?

- That's why I like him.

- (chuckles) All right.

- We should name him Dingo!

- It's gonna be a lot of work.

I mean, you're gonna have to walk him and feed him

and bathe him.

It's a lot of responsibility.

- I'll take good care of him.

I promise.

- And, there's one thing I won't budge on.

It's if he destroys anything, ruins anything, he's gone.

You understand?

- I understand he's my full responsibility.

- Okay.

[Dingo] (barks) There's something good in here.

There's something good in here.

- Dingo.

- There's something good. - Bad boy.

[Dingo] There's something good in here.

That's pretty good.

(barks) Where you going?

- Working, Dad?

- That's what I do.

- Do we have a s-stapler?

- Yeah, it's the first drawer in the hallway.

- Thanks.

- [Dingo] (whimpers) Are you coming back?

- [Lincoln] That was a close one.

- [Dingo] That was fun.

- Excuse me.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for my dog

and I'm wondering have you seen him?

- Hudson Miller?

- Do I know you?

- Probably not.

You were quite the football star back in high school.

- Yeah, that was a long time ago.

- Let me see the picture.

Aw, cute dog.

- Yeah, he is.

- You been looking for him long?

- Well, he kinda ran off last week

and I've decided to come out this weekend

and see if I could find him.

I tell you what, I'll help you look for him

if you give me a lift back into town.

- I'll give you ride into town if need it.

I mean, you really don't have to help me look.

- No, my ankle does this from time to time.

Just being too ambitious (giggles).

- You know, you really don't have to help me look for him.

I-I-I don't mind giving you a ride into town.

- No, that's fine (chuckles).

- Um, (chuckles) I have to admit

that I don't actually remember you.

- You were a big football star

and I was invisible (giggles).

Yeah, I was a bit of a jerk back then.

Thought I was God's gift.

- Everyone's a gift from God.

So, are we gonna look for Scrappy or what?

- Thank you.

- Don't tell my dad what happened at the park.

- Why don't you want me to tell your dad

what happened at the park?

- (sighs) Because it's not his fault

that I'm s-s-stupid.

- Now, you listen to me.

You are not stupid.

You shouldn't even say that word.

- I'm sorry I let you down.

- Hey, you could never let me down.

You are perfect in every way.

- So, tell me what happened.

- I was out in the desert hiking and some guy stops me

and says he's looking for his dog.

And, when I got a better look at him

I realized he was a guy I had a crush on in high school.

- High school?

- Did he remember you?

- No, he didn't.

- He was a popular guy and I was kinda quiet.

- So, what happened?

- I gave him a sandwich.

And, then we looked for his dog and then he took me back

to my car.

This is a picture of his dog.

He was married?

- [Ann] No, I don't think so.

- And, you didn't exchange numbers?

- No, we didn't.

- Come on, what happened to the new Ann?

- I know, I know, I just, I didn't think

he was into me.

- You just met him, hon, what did you expect?

- Just not meant to be?

- Okay, see this, this is what I've been telling you.

You do this to yourself every single time.

- I'm doing the best I can.

- What's his name?

- Hudson Miller.

- It's not a very common name.

I think we should look him up.

- Nuh, all right.

He's got an address.

- There you go.

Go visit him.

- Just show up at his house?

- [Friend] Yep.

I don't know if I can do that.

- You are returning a picture of his dog.

That's lame.

- It's not that lame.

It's a good excuse.

- Hello.

Hey, buddy.

I'm sorry.

I must've fell asleep.

- What are you doing out here?

- Looking for my dog.

- When was the last time you seen him?

It's been a couple weeks.

Couple weeks?

- Thank you.

- Look, I'm out here every day.

I haven't seen a dog out here.

You know, the nearest water supply

is a good eight miles from here.

I don't wanna get your hopes up

because that's a long time to be out here with no water.

- Ann.

- Um, I must've taken it by mistake.

- Thanks.

- I'll be honest with you as I've gotten older

I've decided to not waste time and to live in the now.

(sighs) Anyway, I just picked up

some take out and I bought way too much.

Don't know what I was thinking.

You probably already have plans for dinner.

- No, I actually was just working in back.

I hadn't even thought about dinner.

I'd love to have dinner with you.

Well, then I'll just go grab it from the car?

- Great, I'll wash up.

That was delicious.

- [Ann] I'm glad you liked it.

- So, how'd you find my address?

Not that I mind.

- (chuckles) That's easy nowadays.

Technology?

I don't even have a computer.

It's a little creepy?

- No, not at all (chuckles).

- (laughs) Okay.

- Actually, I'm glad you stalked me.

Do you think I'm being overly dramatic about Scrappy?

- No, I think you need to take all the time you need.

- Thank you.

- Lincoln, he's not due for another hour.

Get back to this.

- He's home.

- He's home?

No I think that'd be a good thing

that I guess you can share with him.

Yeah, no, I got it.

Yeah, no.

Hey, buddy.

Yeah, no, um...

No, I've got that here also.

Listen, I'll see you in the morning, okay?

All right, see you then.

Hey, how is everything?

- Good.

- Is Ms. Davies here?

- Yeah, she went back there in the bathroom.

You think she'd be interested in staying

to have pizza with us?

- I'll go ask her.

Um, Dad wanted to know if you wanted to have pizza with us.

Yes, I'd love to have pizza with you.

Hi, yes, I would like to have

a pizza with you (giggles).

- Okay, so then we'll get it ordered.

- I'm gonna go wash my hands.

- Right (giggles).

He likes pizza.

- I'm just glad I didn't have to ask him nine times

to get hands done.

- So, gonna go order the pizza now.

- Okay, (giggles).

I've seen some big improvements in him.

He doesn't stutter as much anymore.

I don't know, he's just a different boy.

- He's actually a very smart boy.

- Well, I couldn't have done it without you.

(sighs) Being a single parent's hard.

I don't know how other people do it.

- I suppose they just manage with what God has given them.

I've never asked about his mother.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't pry into your business.

- No, it's, it's fine.

I guess she didn't wanna be a mother anymore.

She had other things to do.

- I truly believe that God has a plan for all of us.

- You may be right.

Coming.

Good morning.

- Morning.

- He's still in the back getting ready and I've got

an important meeting to get to.

- [Ms. Davies] Of course, go ahead.

I've got this.

[Adam] No, no, no!

My, please don't tell me that was important.

- I needed these notes for a meeting this morning.

What did I tell you about the dog?

- If he messes up he has to g-g-go?

- I gotta get to work.

We're gonna talk about this tonight.

- Do you think he's gonna take Dingo away?

Come here.

I'm not sure.

- (sniffles) I think I'm ready.

I'm letting you go, buddy.

If you're watching,

Please don't let him wander around alone up there.

Please find him and take care of him.

You're a good boy.

- Lincoln, can you come and finish today's studies please?

- Can we be done for the d-d-day?

- (sighs) Of course.

- [Lincoln] You know I love you very much.

- [Dingo] I wasn't sure what was happening,

but I could feel something bad was coming.

- Before you say anything, I'd like you to hear me out.

I understand that it's not my place to interfere

and there's no question that the dog destroyed something

of great value to you.

I don't know, it may have even cost you your job,

but please, I'm asking you, will you,

can you not punish Lincoln?

- The dog is too much for him to handle.

- I'll take full responsibility of the dog.

Just don't do this to your son.

Look, you probably want to fire me,

but I'm not changing my mind on this.

- I'm not gonna fire you.

Link, you can keep the dog.

Really?

- We can keep Dingo.

Jane, what are you doing here?

- Hey, how's my little boy?

I see you got a new dog.

- They found him in the desert.

- You even got a little taller.

I'm sorry, I don't know you.

I'm Lincoln's mother.

Um, I'm Lincoln's nanny.

- A nanny.

My son has a nanny?

- Well, she helps him with homework,

and then watches him while I'm working.

You know, working.

- I'm sorry, can you give us a minute?

- Of course.

Lincoln, let's continue with where we left off, shall we?

- But, I don't want her to come b-b-back.

It's okay.

- I made a mistake.

I was just so confused.

But, I've had a little time to think about it.

Just came to tell you I'm sorry.

- [Hudson] Hi, Mom.

- Hi, I brought your favorite.

- Thank you.

- [Mom] I was hoping it would cheer you up.

- I'm fine.

- [Ann] Hello?

- Is that Ann?

- I hope you like her.

She's special to me.

I'm so excited.

- Mom, this is Ann.

- It's a pleasure to meet you.

You have no idea.

I've heard so much about you.

[Mom] You brought pies, too.

- Yeah.

Well.

I hope you're hungry.

- I am.

Hi. - Hi.

- I'll go get some dishes.

She's a darling girl.

- Yeah, she is pretty cool.

Why are you crying?

- (cries) Because I'm just happy for you.

You've had so many ups and downs

and now everything's just perfect.

You know what a crier I am.

I don't wanna cry but I'm just happy for you.

I cry when I'm happy.

- It's okay, Mom.

- [Mom] And, I am.

Sorry, I thought...

- No, no, it's fine, it's just, it's me, really.

Just...

I've been in a bad place for a really long time.

Watched a wonderful career dissolve right in front of me.

For years all I did was go to work and go home.

I never went out.

I don't have any friends.

Then this little dog comes into my life and

started to get out a little bit.

Then the next thing you know, I met you.

I know it's silly, but I really, I really believe

a dog helped me.

That he, that he gave me the reason

to get out of my sadness.

- Well, maybe Scrappy taught you to forgive yourself.

- I think you're right.

He did teach me how to forgive myself.

Now, can we try that again?

- But, I don't want you to leave.

- Everything's going to work out.

It's God's plan.

You've got to trust him.

- What if he's wrong?

- He's never wrong.

I almost forgot to give you this.

- (sighs) You're going back to England?

- I'm going back to England.

Now, what happened to Lincoln the superhero?

- He died.

I think he misses you.

Why don't you give him another chance?

Now, come here and give me a big hug.

Buh bye, you (laughs).

- She gone?

Too bad I didn't get to say goodbye.

All right, you ready for dinner?

All right, let's go get washed up.

Come on.

- [Adam] I made sure they didn't put

any cinnamon on it this time.

- Thanks, d-d-Dad.

- What's cinnamon?

- Yeah, Link's allergic.

You knew that.

- Yeah, yeah, I remember that.

So, you excited for school tomorrow, see all your friends?

- Y-y-yeah.

- I know, those can be tricky.

Here, let me show you.

Okay, what you do is take this one,

put it right over there like a pencil.

And, put that one on your third finger.

And, then wrap your thumb.

There you go.

You'll get it.

Here, like this, watch.

See, that?

And, like this.

You'll get it.

Good job.

- [Lincoln] Thanks m-m-m.

- It's okay, we're not in any rush, okay?

All right, let's get in bed here.

Whoa, did he just growl at me?

Your Dad lets the dog sleep in the bed with you?

- Dingo helps me s-sleep.

He doesn't mean anything b-by it.

[Dingo] I meant it.

- All right.

- [Dingo] Try again, lady.

- Get your sleep, okay?

You have a big day at school tomorrow.

All right?

Love you.

- [Dingo] Is that who I think it is?

Dad!

- Scrappy!

Scrappy!

- [Mother] Hey, hey, do I know you?

- This is my dog.

Come here, you.

Come here.

- How do I know that?

- I lost him in the desert.

Where'd you find him?

Tell me, quiet.

I missed you so much.

Look.

Scrappy, come here, buddy. - Yeah, I mean

it looks like him.

- Come here, buddy.

Scrappy, hi.

I missed you so much.

- You know what, here.

Take him.

- Thank you.

Come on, boy, come on.

What's up, come.

Hey.

Thank you very much.

My little dog.

Come here, Scrappy.

[Dingo] My God, you should've seen it.

I was chasing after this rabbit.

He was really, really fast, Dad.

You know, and then where did you go?

- [Hudson] It's miracle, right?

- He was over 40 miles from that camp area.

- What are the odds?

- [Hudson] That's exactly what I said.

- The woman didn't give you any trouble.

- I showed her the picture of Scrappy,

and, you know, she knew.

- Well, there's no denying those legs.

- Scrappy, come here.

- I can't believe you gave the dog away

to a perfect stranger.

- The dog came right to him.

He even had a picture of the dog.

- You should've called me.

- A guy loses his dog in the desert, okay?

Are you having trouble putting two and two together here?

It's his dog.

It's not yours.

- How are we gonna deal with Lincoln?

- I don't know.

You know, maybe it's about time he learns

that life isn't easy.

- Hey, Link.

- She ruins everything.

- He needs to go to a special school.

He's not like normal kids.

Normal kids have friends.

Normal kids play together.

There's just, there's gotta be a school

that knows how to deal with kids like him.

- Kids like him?

- You know what, let's forget it.

I need a break.

- Morning.

Link.

You all right?

It was the man's dog.

- It was my dog.

- We can get you another one.

- It won't be him.

He was my best f-f-friend.

Why does she have to come back?

- 'Cause she's your mother and she deserves a second chance.

- She's not like Ms. Davies.

You know she used to stutter like me?

- No, I didn't.

- Can I go live with her in England?

We can visit?

Even in the summer you can come visit us.

- That's not gonna happen.

Come on, let's get ready.

I love you.

- Scrappy.

Scrappy?

What's going on?

Go on, boy, what?

- [Dingo] Lincoln?

Lincoln?

- What?

There's nothing out here.

Come on.

- [Adam] If you leave again, you're never coming back.

- Call Ms. Davies.

- Link, she's gone.

She went back to England.

- (sighs) My name is Lincoln.

I was named after one of the greatest presidents

that ever lived.

I am smart, I am strong, and everyone loves to hear me talk.

- Scrappy.

Scrappy?

Hey, Scrappy?

Hey, buddy.

What's the matter?

Are you okay?

So, I was feeding him, I put his food down like always

and he's not eating.

He's not acting the same.

Something's wrong with him.

- Well, it's only been a couple of days.

He's gonna need some time to readjust.

It's a lot for a dog to process.

- [Hudson] Do you think so?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, maybe you're right.

- Yeah, give him some time.

He'll come around.

- Come on Scrappy.

Eat.

Eat.

Come on.

Hi, Scrappy.

Hey, Scrappy.

How you doing, buddy?

Come here.

Come here.

Come on, eat.

Good boy.

That's a good boy.

I know you said to give it some time,

but there's something different about him.

He's not the same.

- Here's the person that took care of Scrappy.

Either call this person or throw the collar out.

- No, he's my dog, not theirs.

I just want him to go back the way he was.

- And, what if that doesn't happen?

- Adam Purcelli found my dog?

He joined the team senior year.

- He was the new guy.

I can't believe he found your dog.

- It's crazy.

- Are you gonna call him?

- No.

- [Adam] Hudson!

- Adam.

- It's good to see you.

- It's good to see you, too.

- [Adam] Come on in.

Boys, we're not kicking that ball.

- I remember that one.

- And, Peterson wasn't open like he usually is

and you were.

And you gave me that nod (crowd cheering)

And I gave you that ball

and you cut through their defense like it was butter.

- Yeah.

- [Adam] And, that was a long time ago.

- So, did you ever get married?

- I was and it's finally finished.

Link.

Hey there's someone I want you to meet.

I went to high school with this guy,

played football with him.

He's a little shy.

- So, do you ever think you'd like

to play football some day?

What kinds of things are you interested in?

- I would like to be a veterinarian.

I would like to h-h-help animals.

- (chuckles) Guess he wants to be a veterinarian.

I don't know how you found me, but I am sure glad you did.

- Me too, Adam, me too.

It was nice to meet you.

- You too.

- Well, it was good catching up.

Yep.

- [Lincoln] So, you guys used to be friends?

- Yeah.

Went to high school together.

He was one of the best football players I ever knew.

He had a bright future ahead of him

and then it just didn't go that way.

Come on.

- I wanted to thank you, buddy.

You got me out of a real bad place.

You know.

If it weren't for you, I don't think I would've met Ann.

I think maybe that's why God put us together.

Good to see you.

Thanks for coming by.

- Good to see you, no problem.

- Hey, brother.

- Hey. - Lincoln.

- Nice to see you.

Come on in, have a seat.

- Yeah.

- So, I wasn't exactly honest the other day

when I stopped by.

- What are you talking about?

- I had to scope things out.

Just a sec.

- Dingo! - Lincoln!

I missed you.

- [Lincoln] My best friend.

- I don't understand.

- You found my dog.

I assume it was your ex-wife that gave him back to me?

- Yeah, she said she gave it to some stranger in the park.

- I think that Lincoln needs him.

- You mean, he's g-g-going to live with us?

- If it's okay with your dad.

- Is it o-okay, Dad?

- Are you sure about this?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

Hi, honey. - Hi.

- So, you should've seen 'em.

It was like reuniting two family members.

I can't imagine how difficult

that must have been for you.

- It was really sweet.

I'm so proud of you.

- Is the position still open.

- Yes, the position is still open.

- Where is he?

- He's out back (chuckles).

Come on.

- Ms. Davies!

- [Dingo] We went over to Dad's house all the time.

I still call him Dad.

You wanna know the really neat thing about this?

Is that we are one big family now.
