All language subtitles for Spin City s01e11 Dog Day Afternoon.eng

Good morning, everyone.

I have some very exciting news.

It's 9:05, and we have our
first mistake of the day,

beating the old record set by Paul
lassiter by a full 7 minutes.

I couldn't have done it
without my family.

Stuart, the mayor
was in his office at 9,

which is when he
should have been...

At the small business owners
breakfast. So? Not my fault.

Did I schedule that
and forget to tell anyone?

We have a winner.

I don't want
to hear any excuses.

You sure? Because
I've been saving the doozie.

It starts out as an excuse,
but I end up blaming James.

Well, James, has some
problems of his own.

James, last night,
you had the mayor

tell the women's coalition
his main goal was...

To put more women
in managerial positions.

uuuh!

Missionary positions.

I'm sorry, Mike.
My mind must have been wandering.

Even when you daydream,
you're conservative.

And, Nikki,
mind sharing with us

what you budgeted for the
hot-lunch program at p. s. 434?

Sure. 12...

Million dollars.

No, no. No need
to apologize.

I've had lunch
in that cafeteria.

The service is impeccable.

You must try the duck.

And last but
Carter.

Great. Never gotten
to be last but not least.

That's usually my slot.

No matter how good it is
for community relations,

you have to promise me that the
mayor will never, ever, ever again

sing at a gospel brunch.

I managed to catch
most of these mistakes,

but you know what
surprises me the most

besides the fact that the
man who wrote amazing Grace

hasn't hunted the mayor
down and killed him?

...is that I'm not angry

'cause you're the best staff
I could ever ask for.

We've been working 14-hour days
without a break for a year,

and that is simply
not the kind of schedule

that is conducive
to staying sharp, so...

Air hockey?

Cool!

So when you get
a 5-minute window,

just come in here,
unwind, relax,

play a few games.
It will help your work.

Great. I was afraid you were going
to give us more vacation time.

Unless I can lie down
on this table

and have a big german man
give me a full-body massage,

this ain't gonna work for me.

Guten tag, fraulein.

While I know that mayor Winston

is using this downward
trend in crime

as a feather in his cap,

I'm sure we all agree
that the real credit

is due to my officers
walking the beat.

Ok. We just have time
for one more question.

Are you saying
the mayor's office

is overestimating its impact
on the decrease in crime?

Look at that, sir. We got to go.
Right this way, sir.

Thank you
very much, sir.

Paul, you said you had time
for one more question.

Yes, but just the
question, not the answer.

What was that
all about, Howard?

Do you know
how much heat I take

defending your budget
with the city council?

If it was up to them,

the police force would be
you and 8 guys in a cab

going to and from
the crime scenes.

Maybe I'd be better-served

with a police commissioner
who understood that.

Worth thinking about.

You know what, Flaherty.

I wouldn't mind him
taking the credit

if I thought he really respected
what we do out there.

Hell, he's the mayor.
I'm sure he can fake it.

With all due respect, sir,

just a few rules if you
want to be successful

in city politics.

One, don't shake hands
during cold-and-flu season.

2, never kiss a baby unless you're
absolutely sure it's a baby.

And 3, don't go in that room

and embarrass my guy
in front of the press.

The mayor tips his hat to law
enforcement every chance he gets.

Talk is cheap. Couldn't even
attend the policemen's ball.

There you go, sir.
See, that was my fault.

We had your event
on the schedule,

but there were 2 parades and
an Italian-american festival,

and the mayor got caught up in
an important business lunch

with Italian-american
businessmen.

Yeah. I saw him
on the 6:00 news

in a cannoli-eating
contest.

W- w-what do you want him to do?
Just give his title away?

So, you've really never played?

Doesn't really seem like a
lot to pick up. Let's go.

No. It's too unfair.

You have no chance
against my expertise.

I would have to teach you

to isolate your opponent's
weaknesses, then capitalize on them,

never paying heed
as they beg for mercy,

and to be relentless
till victory was yours.

And you wonder why no one
will go out with you twice.

You see, grasshopper...

...one must understand
the rhythms of the game...

Waaahh!

In order to truly master it.

Ebb and flow.
Yin and Yang.

Are you prepared to do battle?

No. I want you
to talk some more.

Begin.

Yang that.

Stuart, here's the fax
you were waiting for

and a message
from Roberta in payroll.

Oh, and I almost forgot.
I also have your pride,

self-respect, and what's
left of your manhood.

You should get that back.

Might need that someday.

Hey, did anybody read this?
Bingo died.

Oh, who's bingo?

Only the most-decorated police
dog in the city's history.

He pulled that drowning
kid out of the reservoir.

And didn't he sniff out 10 kilos
of cocaine at la guardia?

Poor little guy didn't sleep
for weeks after that.

Look at this.
They note his passing on page 39.

I mean, that's just-

that's a total lack of respect.

I mean, that's, like,
marmaduke country.

I assume you all know
what I'm thinking.

That no matter how
desperate we ever get,

we will never use the death of
an animal for our own benefit?

No.

In fact, we're going to have a very
public show of support for bingo.

And, yes, it is gonna help us.

Stuart, are you
with me on this?

I want to be, but a dead dog?
That's bad voodoo.

James, whip up a eulogy

for the mayor to give
at the funeral.

I can't just
"whip up" a eulogy.

You're asking for a meaningful
summation of an entire life.

Did he have friends?
What were his hobbies?

Well, man...
Was his best friend.

And as far as hobbies go,

I'd have to say digging holes and, uh...
licking himself.

He was a dog,

James. Carter, go pick up
the beloved late pooch.

Ah, transporting dead animals.

What a striking coincidence.

See, I was offered
that job once,

but unfortunately, I'd already
accepted my position here.

Take Paul with you.

What's all the hubbub?

Bingo's dead.

Not true.

There's a great game over at st.
Mary's every Tuesday,

and I am on a terrific hot streak.

After his behavior
in the press conference,

I'm not too eager to put on a
big show for the commissioner.

Don't think of it as
doing something for him.

You're doing it for a brave,
fallen, 4-legged hero.

Oh, yes, the dog.

You know, I had a dog
when I was a boy.

What are the odds of that?

If I do make this eulogy, maybe
I should talk about him...

Show people my soft side.

I don't think that
could hurt, sir.

Sniffer!

Excuse me?

Sniffer. That's what
I named the little guy.

I'm sure you can guess
how I came up with it.

Family name, sir?

210 West 71st, please.

I've been allergic
to cats all my life,

but at the pet morgue, nothing.

Turns out I'm not
allergic to dead cats.

Then you should
definitely get one.

Excuse me. How come you
pretended not to see me,

but then you
pulled over for him?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Here, does this look familiar?
"Taxi! Taxi!"

I didn't notice you.

You noticed him?!

He has a very big head.

You know, you're very rude.

I think you owe
both of us an apology.

For what?
I am doing my job.

Let me do my job
without pestering me.

Would you take 11th,
because it's faster.

I am not a race car driver!

No, you're a racist driver.

Oh, good one.

That's it.
Both of you, out of my cab.

We don't want to be
in this cab, anyway.

All right, fine.
How much do we owe you?

Get out!
Get out of the cab!

can we just wait till we
get off of the bridge?!

I wanted you to know how
important this is to us.

Bingo was the finest dog
ever to carry a shield.

That reminds me, sir.
I've always wondered-

chain around his neck.

Bingo.

Please, sit.

Sir, listen, I just
wanted you to know

that I want this to be
such a fitting tribute

that I have pulled all my
people off their regular duties

so they can focus 100% on this.

That's game!

what most people
don't understand

is that these dogs
are our partners.

Don't worry about a thing.

We are going to treat bingo

with the dignity and
respect he deserves.

That's right, pal!
Get out of here!

Don't worry about it.
We'll get another cab.

I'm sure we will.

Do you think it will have
a dead dog in it, too?

Because he's got ours
in his trunk.

I'm gonna call Mike.

Let me. You're
just gonna blame me.

Paul, stop it. We're 2 grown men.
I'm an adult.

Give me the phone!

Give me the phone!
Give it to me!

I'm going to make the call.
It's my call.

Mike, it's Carter.
Here's the situation. Ow! Get off!

Mike, Paul here now.
Look.

We have troubling news.
There's a slight logistics problem with bingo.

Logistics problem?

Mike, * Paul lost the dog *

I knew you were gonna blame me.

Thank you.

Hi, mom.
Quick question.

I heard a message
on Mike's machine

that would make a great story,

but the only reason I heard it
is because I live with him.

Is it ok to use it?

Yeah, that's what
all my friends said.

Put dad on.

Bye, mom.

That was quick.

Always is.

"How's the weather?
Your health?

Stop wasting time
with that Flaherty boy. "

It used to be, "throwing your life
away with that Flaherty boy. "

I think she's coming around.

hello.

Paul! This better be
good news, Paul.

You better listen to me, Paul.

You better find me
that damn dog,

or I'm gonna come down there,
duct-tape a fur coat to your ass,

and shove you in a little box!

The dog, Paul!
Find me the dog!

I want a...
Nice wreath, too.

Something decent.
Money's no object.

Thank you.

Can't skimp on these things.

You're doing it again.

Doing what?

Covering.
I am telling you, it is too cute.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

I, uh, have nothing to hide.

Something is bothering you.

Maybe it would feel better

just to, you know,
relax, let it out.

I'm just excited.
That's all.

I love funerals.

I really, really do.

Bet you didn't know
I had a dark side, huh?

I believe I left a package in
one of your cabs yesterday.

What was in it?

You're going to laugh.
It was a dead german Shepherd.

He hung up on me.

Mike. Mike, we're making phone calls.
Don't you worry.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's ok.

I can see how
this could happen.

There's plenty of ways
you could lose a dog.

He could wander off...

He could Chase a cat...

Of course, those are generally
things a live dog would do.

Don't let Carter
blame it on me,

because he's the one who got
us kicked out of the cab.

Paul, I'm not pointing
any fingers here,

but if you had
to hazard a guess,

whose fault would
you think it was?

I'm not interested in
assigning blame here.

Plenty of time for that
after the funeral,

which starts in 20 minutes,

and for which the guest
of honor is awol.

Hi, Mike.

Hi, Ash.

Bye, Mike.

Bye, Ash.

Communication is the cornerstone
of our relationship.

So.

Too bad about that dog.

What do you mean?

What could I mean?

I don't know.

Only one thing wrong
He's dead.

Damn!

Yeah, I know this sounds crazy,

but, see, I left a...

I left a suitcase
in one of your cabs.

Cherry with brass handles.

Ooh, damn!

You weren't exaggerating.
He's terrible.

You know what the problem is?

I don't have any motivation.

I'm a money player, so
what do you say we bet?

You're a baby now.
I can't imagine how bad it will be

when you're paying my rent.

I'll bet 20 bucks on her.

Me, too.
I'm no dope.

The men against the women.
James will cover their bets.

No, James won't.

James is betting on janelle.

James thinks Stuart's
a big bag of free money.

Well, fine.
Stuart will bet 60 bucks on himself.

Goal.

it's got to be frustrating.

Hold this.

You know, it's one thing
to use this to relax.

It's another to abuse the
privilege- oh, hi, Mike.

Great, great.
You're all having fun,

but let's just review
what we know.

All right, Mike, we're sorry.

No, no, please indulge me.

We're missing a dog that could make or
break our relationship with the police.

But you're right.

Go ahead. Relax.
Have a good time.

Ok, quick one to 5.

That's it.
Playtime is over.

I don't care how you do it.

I want that dog or a
damn fine replacement.

Everybody, think about one
thing and one thing only:

B- I-n-g-o.

And the first person who says
"and bingo was his name-o"

is fired.

What on earth possessed
you to buy this?

Mike said he wanted a wreath.
Nice, huh?

I think it's really
going to help.

We still don't have bingo, but I'm sure
the bone wreath will save the day.

Open the door.
I'm going to set this up.

We're obviously not ready.

Why can't we just push this
thing back till tomorrow?

This isn't a wedding.
We can't exactly tell people

that bingo got cold feet.

Well, actually...

Ok.

Not bad, huh?

I got him at the pound.

Even bingo's mother would
have to look twice.

Mike, this dog isn't exactly right.

It's a slight
different coloration,

but I think we're going
to get away with it.

And you never noticed
any other problems:

Curve of the tail?
The thickness of the coat?

He's alive?

Ashley's coming in.
Oh, look at the puppy.

Come here, puppy-

hi, Ash.

Hey, Ash.
How are ya?

I wanted to pay
my respects now.

Don't want to tear up
in front of everyone.

I don't think it's a good
idea for you to see him now.

You know how emotional you get.

That's ridiculous.
Let me just take a look.

Uh...

What is it? Have you lost weight?
You look fabulous.

Uh... I can't watch you
fall apart like this.

You're just crumbling
in front of me.

Can you please just
escort her out?

Absolutely.

I think this is going to work.
Watch this.

Sit, sit, sit.
There you go.

Ok, lie down.
Lie down.

All right.
Play dead.

Look at that.
Dead as a doornail.

Mike, it's over.
You got to go out there

and tell the commissioner
we lost the dog.

If we're going down,
we're going down in flames.

Turn the lights down.
We'll move everybody past real quick.

Woof!

Ok. That could be
a problem.

We should get going.

I can't tell you
what this means to me,

to see my men here,
gathered to say good-bye.

I won't forget this, Randall.

It's the least we could do.
Our condolences.

Nice work.

How'd you find a vet that could
tranquilize him on short notice?

I got a guy I use
when I need to keep things quiet.

Relax. It's perfectly safe.
It's the same stuff

you give your dog when you
put them on the plane.

Who's that?
Who is that?

I think it's bingo's partner.

Oh, no.
Are you sure?

He's holding a picture of
them together in uniform.

This is bad.
Oh, this is bad.

Turn around.
Turn around and go away.

Turn around
and go away. Yes!

Yes!

I mean, awww.

Yes!

Mike. Mike,
it's over.

It's done.
We did it.

Just look at my wreath.

Stop with the wreath already!

Ladies and gentlemen, I want
to express my deepest sorrow.

Now, I didn't know
bingo personally,

but I do know from talking to all
of you, he was truly special.

Rest assured
bingo will not be forgotten.

His voice will be heard in the
echo of dogs' barks everywhere.

Woof!

Yes, woof.

It's a miracle.

He's alive!

Clap.

Picked up the new Beck cd.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, I thought maybe
we'd just, uh...

God, I hate this
damn shrink wrap.

...you know, open up
a bottle of wine,

relax, listen to a
little music tonight.

Ouch!

We can watch a video.

Sorry. It's just that I
have had a really bad day.

This is off,

I mean, off off off off off
the record, all right?

We lost bingo.

I know! I know!
I heard it on the machine,

and it drove me crazy because it
was right there in front of me.

I can't believe you
didn't run with it.

I mean, that story-
it had everything, Mike:

The indignant police commissioner,
the hapless deputy mayor,

the lost local hero.

Hapless?

It was a bad choice of words.

Look at us.
Back at it again.

Yep. Does it scare you?

No.

'Cause I know you love me,

you need me...

Mm-hmm.

You'd never ever, ever, ever

run with anything that
would cause me pain.

Don't press your luck, mister.

Hey, so how is
bingo's partner doing?

I mean, when that dog stood up,

he looked like it was
the second coming.

Mike, tell me you told him.

Help! Help!
He just stole my purse!

Go get him, bingo!
Go get him!

Bingo, what the hell's
the matter with you?

And now we're gambling.

That's just what we need in
the city hall, isn't it, sir?

Uh-huh.

One more goal.

No, now. And rest assured

this table will
be gone tomorrow.

I can't believe
they were betting.

I'm embarrassed, sir.

Well, I might as well
put this table

in the rumpus room
of the mansion.

I was actually kind of thinking

it would look good
in my office.

Best of 3.

You got it, your honor.

Woof woof, dog boy!

Sit, ubu, sit.
Good dog.
