• [first lines] 

  Thomas Magnum : [to Zeus and Apollo, the menacing dogs]  Easy. Easy. Okay, steady, boys, steady. Steady!

  [their growls turn to barks, and he tries to appease:] 

  Thomas Magnum : Stop. Stop!

  Juliet Higgins : [over comm, while watching with binoculars]  No, no, no, Magnum, you're doing it all wrong.

  Thomas Magnum : How can I be doing it wrong? I haven't even done anything!

  Juliet Higgins : Dogs have a pack mentality, Magnum. Right? In every pack there is an Alpha. The Alpha has the first and the last say. You need to be commanding. And lose all the emotion from your voice.

  Thomas Magnum : Okay. Whatever you say, Master Yoda.

  Juliet Higgins : Sorry. I- I don't get the reference. Not a Star Trek fan.

  Thomas Magnum : [as the dogs continue barking]  Star Trek? You gotta be kidding me.

  Juliet Higgins : Yes! Of course I'm kidding you. That's a test you failed because you're being too emotional. Now. Be. The. Alpha!

  Thomas Magnum : Okay. Apollo-!

  Juliet Higgins : [exasperated]  Magnum, that's Zeus. Surely you can tell them apart.

  Thomas Magnum : Of course I can't!

  [barking continues] 

  Juliet Higgins : What did I say about being so emotional?

  Thomas Magnum : Okay.

  [to growling dogs:] 

  Thomas Magnum : Okay, okay. Zeus... Sit!

  Juliet Higgins : [as the dogs advance menacingly]  No. Too late. They sense your indecisiveness.

  Thomas Magnum : Easy, boy. Heel!

  Juliet Higgins : Now which is it, Magnum? Is it sit or heel?

  Thomas Magnum : Do they even know the difference?

  Juliet Higgins : [sarcasm dripping]  Do you?

  [Magnum looks exasperated] 

  Juliet Higgins : And don't roll your eyes, Magnum.

  Thomas Magnum : How can you even see that from over there?

  Juliet Higgins : I don't have to see it, Magnum, I know you. Now focus! I need to know that you can look after the lads whilst I'm in London.

  Thomas Magnum : Okay.

  [to the aggressive dogs:] 

  Thomas Magnum : Know what? Listen to me, you two maniacs. I've had enough of this crap, right? I am tired of you guys terrorizing me.

  [one of them whines] 

  Thomas Magnum : I'm the Alpha!

  [the slightly bigger one lowers it's head] 

  Thomas Magnum : I'm the Alpha and you're going to do exactly as I say! Right now I command the both of you to... *Sit!*

  [the one with the very pointy ears sits down, and Magnum smiles] 

  Thomas Magnum : It worked.

  [Pointy Ears barks] 

  Thomas Magnum : No! No!

  [makes a run for it with Zeus and Apollo in hot pursuit] 

  Juliet Higgins : [watching]  Oh my God...

  Thomas Magnum : [yells]  Higgins!
