Did you hear that music?
It was great.
It was kind of nostalgic sounding.

Layne, there's a female Persian cat available for adoption.
Uh-huh.
Would you ever consider getting a pet?
I'm not too open to that, Jenny.
It says she's spayed and up to date on her shots. Would that change your mind?
I'm not a cat person.
Why not?
Cats are standoffish. They are unfriendly, aloof, hard to read. There's nothing positive about them. （aloof = よそよそしい）
That's not true. Cats purr to show affection. Cats quietly sit in a doorway like a guard. Cats gracefully welcome you back when you get home.
Dogs are more friendly, loyal, protective, supportive.
That's a matter of opinion.
No, it's a matter of fact as a matter of fact.
You're so dogmatic. It's so hard to live with you. （dogmatic = 独裁的な、押しつけがましい）
You make a catastrophe out of everything. （catastrophe = 大参事、大災害）

They are very good at word play.
Very nice couple.
Yes.
For that matter.
Sounds like they are about a fight like cats and dogs.
I think they ARE fighting like cats and dogs.
So, cats are standoffish.
I don't think so. That's not my experience.
I think it depends on the cat.
Well, not all dogs though. No, depends on the dog.
I've had dogs barked at me and growled. Ooow! Scary!
You know what?
What?
Giraffes are the best.
Giraffe. Hmm...
That a matter of opinion.
No.

So Jeff.
Uh-huh?
What's the new situation going to be like this time?
Well, this time, Layne has fallen in love with a sloth.
You mean that animal?
Yeah, not a dog but a sloth.
All right.

This one is the pick of the litter.
He's a beauty.
His name is Steady and he has a gentle temperament. He is stroking my hand. He is a very calm creature.
Yes, but actually he's been excited. He has moved three centimeters since you walked in the room. That means he likes you a lot.
Oh! That's good to know. I like him a lot too.
You won't find a more serene, silent, sedate pet. （serene = 落ち着いた、平和な sedate = もの静かな、落ち着いた）
That's what I was telling my wife.
Oh, your wife will be lighted with him.
I hope so.
Come on, Steady.
Uh... You should carry him to the car.
I should?
Yes. Otherwise, it would take a week or two for him to get out there on his own.
Oh, he is going to speak.
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Sloth.
Sloth who?
Sloth of luck. (lots of luck とかけている)
Sloth of luck, bigger sloth.
What does that mean?
I think lots of luck.
Oh. I got it. Would you like to keep a sloth as a pet?
I would try it.
I don't know. It would be hard for him to run away from home, I think.
Oh, yeah.
Sounds like he has a gentle temperament.
That's true.
So by the way, speaking of pets...
Hmm...
Ken?
Yes?
Do you have a pet?
Um.. Yeah, I do, yeah. I mean I usually… you know, it's so small. I put it in my pocket sometimes.
Ah?
What is it?
It's called "keitai."
Pretty cute.

Look, I rented an elemoth for our baby’s birthday.
Oh, my goodness me!
He has pedigree papers.
How much does it cost to rent an elemoth?
$6,000 for five hours.
What? Why didn't you consult me first?
I couldn't help it. He stole my heart.
And they stole your wallet. Is he housebroken?
Almost.
Renting an elmoth is a huge commitment.
I know.
Why don't we hire a clown? We don't need an elmoth.
Look! He is going out into the street. Elmoth, you have to stay here.
Sorry, elmoth (It must) be going. Good-bye!
Oh, my goodness.
Nice pet. I love it.

Here, Rocky boy!
Wow! Rocky tore the couch pillows to shreds!
He chewed up my favorite shoes. Rocky, you love having fun, don't you boy?
Oh, it's time for Rajio Eikaiwa, honey.
No, someone is at the door.
Oh! Oh, I'll get it. Hello, neighbor. How are you?
Good! You know, your puppy has been whining and barking for the last three hours.
Oh, sorry. It might happen again.
What's its name?
Rocky.
Nice name. I think your future dog champ's got separation anxiety.
I believe you're right.
But he'll be all right because we are going to take good care of him.
Right.
I thought it was time for Rajio Eikaiwa too.
Yeah. If I miss the program, you know what I get?
Separation anxiety.
Oh, wow! Good guess. Good goodness.
