CUT TO: Grandma, Chris, and Chloe walking up to the next door neighbor's front door. Grandma rings the doorbell. We hear Roscoe barking. The door opens.

MRS. IRZYK:	Well, hello.
GRANDMA:	Hi, Beth. You've met our grandchildren.
MRS. IRZYK:	Hi. Did you want to take your car out? I'll make sure the dog stays inside.
GRANDMA:	No. Chris and Chloe brought something for Roscoe.

Chris holds up a doggie treat.

MRS. IRZYK:

Oh, nice. (calls out) Roscoe!

Roscoe runs in, grabs the treat from Chris's hand, then runs out.

MRS. IRZYK:	He learned his manners from my husband.
CHLOE:	Do you think Roscoe can be part of my science project?
MRS. IRZYK:	You can't dissect him.

Chloe takes a glass slide from the plastic container Grandma is holding.

CHLOE:	I'm comparing human saliva with dog saliva.
MRS. IRZYK:	Oh, sure. Roscoe will lick anything. Let me hold the slide so he doesn't eat it. (calls out) Roscoe!

In slow motion, Roscoe runs in, and then we see a close up of a big dog's tongue licking the slide.

CUT TO: Grandpa's workroom. Grandma is inside the time machine. Chris and Chloe watch. Grandpa pushes TALK.

GRANDPA:

Are you sure about this?

Then he pushes LISTEN.

GRANDMA:

Roscoe, here I come.
