answer: #Person1# requests #Person2# to take care of their animals because #Person1# and #Person1#'s wife are going out of town this weekend. #Person1# introduces the animals to #Person2#, including Jaws, their dog, who seems pampered, Claws, their cat, who is a little temperamental and has been going to the animal therapist, and Buttercup, their snake. After hearing #Person1#'s sophisticated requirements, #Person2# refuses resolutely.
documents: #Person1#: Hey, neighbor. How's it going?
  #Person2#: Fine. How about you?
  #Person1#: Okay. Huh, by the way, my wife and I are going out of town this weekend, and I was wondering if you could take care of some of our animals while we're gone. You know our dog, Jaws, don't you?
  #Person2#: Yeah. My leg still hurts from the last incident.
  #Person1#: Hey, he's just a playful little beast.
  #Person2#: Right.
  #Person1#: Hey, he likes to bark a little, and his bark is worse than his bite.
  #Person2#: Oh yeah.
  #Person1#: Just feed him a can of dog food a day, and make sure he has plenty of water in his dish.
  #Person2#: Oh.
  #Person1#: And then, take him for a walk around the block.
  #Person2#: Well, how about if I just throw a Frisbee over the fence to give him some exercise? Wouldn't that work?
  #Person1#: Ah, and then, he likes to watch the 3:00 soap opera on Channel 4..
  #Person2#: What?
  #Person1#: ... and brush his teeth after you give you some doggie treats around 4:00.
  #Person2#: Man, you really pamper your dog.
  #Person1#: And, then brush his fur for about twenty minutes. He tends to shed this time of year.
  #Person2#: Ah, what?
  #Person1#: And then scratch him around the ears. Otherwise, he feels neglected.
  #Person2#: Is that it?
  #Person1#: Well, and then there's Claws.
  #Person2#: Claws? Who's Claws.
  #Person1#: Oh, he's the cat we adopted from the animal shelter, but he's a little temperamental.
  #Person2#: What do you mean 'temperamental'?
  #Person1#: Well, he has mood swings.
  #Person2#: Mood swings?
  #Person1#: Yes, but he's been doing better since he's been going to the animal therapist.
  #Person2#: A therapist?
  #Person1#: So, be sure to feed him a half cup of cat food two times a day. 
  #Person2#: What? A therapist ...
  #Person1#: Right, and don't forget to put out on some soft classical music during his nap time at 2:40 p.m. But don't let him out of the house because he might run away and chase the neighbor's dog.
  #Person2#: You have some high-maintenance animals.
  #Person1#: Not really. And, don't forget to change the cat litter daily, or he might have an accident on the carpet.
  #Person2#: Oh, great.
  #Person1#: And finally, there's Buttercup.
  #Person2#: Buttercup? Who's Buttercu ...? I'm afraid to ask.
  #Person1#: Ah, she's a sweetie.
  #Person2#: What?
  #Person1#: ... if you know how to handle her right.
  #Person2#: Oh, great.
  #Person1#: Wait. Let me get her for you. Here you are.
  #Person2#: That's ... That's a snake ...
  #Person1#: Hold her.
  #Person2#: That's a big snake with big fangs. Does the snake go to a therapist, too?
  #Person1#: Of course not ... just an anger-management class.
  #Person2#: Oh! What?
  #Person1#: I'm joking. Buttercup is a very docile creature, and she never bites anyone she likes. If she doesn't, you'll know because she starts hissing and staring at you ... kind like what she's doing now.
  #Person2#: Well, I'm leaving. You must be going out of you mind to think I'm going to watch a zoo full of misunderstood animals. You'd better hire some professional help 'cause I wouldn't watch them even if you paid me a million dollars.
