0 It's hard to say without having seen the scene in the movie, but it could also mean "You are forgetting the seat" - related to the expression "Aren't you forgetting something?", used as a reminder. This substitution usually lends an air of pompousness or superiority to the statement, but it's hard to imagine why such a tone would be used toward a dog.02br
