You're going to come back and bring the dog later?
No, I won't.
Yes, sir.
I'm taking it with me now to Florida.
And keep them.
If you're not going to Chicago, it's tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
It's a problem with me taking the dog to Chicago.
Because it's not a plane direct.
It's a problem with the back of the plane.
It's a problem with Chicago.
