This is a true story.
Dale Dye, the occasional actor and military consultant who has worked on films as diverse as PLATOON, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, FULL METAL JACKET, and so on, was on the set one day when an actor he knew slightly offered him a puppy from his dog’s recent litter.
Dale had never been a dog lover, though, so he demurred. "Come on," the actor said. "You should see these puppies. They're amazing. Spend a little time with one and you'll fall in love."
Dale still demurred.
"Tell you what. I'll bring one over and you can take care of it for one night. Agree to that and I'll shut up. I'm willing to bet that after one night with one of these puppies, you'll love it so much that you won't be willing to give it back."
Dale agreed, just to shut the actor up.
Well, six weeks passed, and the puppies were ready for adoption, and Dale was sitting at home kicking himself for ever agreeing to such a darnfool thing, but knowing that he'd given his vow and wanting to prove that he's a man of his word.
There was a knock on the door.
Dale went to answer it, and saw the actor standing there with a puppy in one hand and a dog carrier in the other.
Because he was feeling a little defensive about the whole thing, Dale assumed that the actor doubted him and brought the dog carrier to bring the animal home, in case he changed his mind.
So he asked, "Are you expecting me to balk?"
And the actor said, "No, Mr. Dye. I'm expecting you to Bond..."
