Weren't you just there yesterday? - Yes, it is very close.

You' re acting like an expectant father, you got a hand out cigars?

Hi.

Your mom around? - No.

She went to the store.

My name's Sam. I'm an old friend of your mother's.

I used to live next door. This was my house right here.

That was my room right there.

See you're quite the basketball player. - Hmm.

Aah! How 'bout that?

Well, I'll just... I'll come around another time.

Ok, Joe, I'll tell him. Ok. O... ok.

Where's Sam?

I do not know. He said he was gonna go check on Joe Leaver's cow.

Maybe she's already had her calf.

Well, she did, but Sam wasn't there. - Hmm.

Where'd you go?

Well, had to go check on Joe's cow.

Joe called. The cow had her calf. He said you weren't there.

Uh, I didn't make it. - How come?

Is Sam back... Oh, Sam, someone wants to see you. - Right.

I think we've solved the mystery.

That dog's cute.

Hi, Sam.

Kind of expected a bigger hello.

I'm surprised to see you.

Trooper, is this the guy who stopped by? - Mm-hmm.

Well, I heard that you're in town. I'm just... surprised.

So, you already met my son Trooper. - No, not officially.

I'm Sam. - Hi.

Dude, what do you do when someone offers you their hand?

What else?

Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.

I told Troop that you're a veterinarian,

and he wanted to come by right away 'cause he loves animals.

Is that right?

I might know a puppy who needs a home. I don't suppose you'd be interested?

Please, mom?

Mmm, wow. You have to take care of him. - I will. Come on.

All right.

All right, wait right here.

Do you even know how to take care of a dog? What are you gonna do?

Made a deal.

A gummy bear. You want another? - Ok.

I'm Rosemary. - Trooper.

What's his name? - It's up to you.

Thanks, Sam, I think.

Just be good to him, bring him back whenever he needs anything, it'll be on the house.

I'll take good care of him.

Oh, come on. Good girl.

Hi Alice! Go ahead and take her on back to number 2. I'll be there in a minute.

Alice?

It's me, Dee Dee.

Dee Dee Mashow?

Yeah, and this is my son Trooper.

Well, hello, Trooper. My Goodness, I haven't seen you since...

Yeah, about 13 years.

Are you just visiting? - No. I'm here to stay.

Well, good for you.

Sam, I... I can see that you're busy. We'll catch up later?

Okay. - Trooper!

Thanks for the puppy. - You're welcome.

Bye, Rosemary. - Good-bye.

Give him a good home. - I will.

Why didn't you just tell me the truth at the office?

I didn't want Rosemary gossiping.

About what?

About Dee Dee. - What about Dee Dee?

Aw, just... nothing.

You're worried she'd gossip about nothing? - We were friends.

We grew up together. I've known the girl since I was 3 years old.

She, Ross and I hung out, and she was fun.

Fun? - We were just friends, ok?

People gossip about friends here?

It's a small town, Lydia. What do you know about small towns?

You grew up in Boston.

I don't know, Sam, why don't u tell me what it's like to grow up in a small town?

Tell me about your friends. - What do you mean?

I don't know. What's she like?

She was a free spirit, ok? Everybody in town knew her.

I was this shy little kid afraid of his own shadow.

Once there was this kid who was sort of the neighborhood bully.

He stole my baseball cards.

Now, I pretended that it didn't matter, but it mattered to Dee Dee.

She found him, she bit him up, and she got 'em all back for me.

That was nice of her.

She didn't even care about what people thought about her.

In the ninth grade, she gets caught smoking in the school bathroom.

The principal takes her into his office.

Before he can even get a word in, she offers him a cigarette.

Mm-hmm.

Anyway ...

On graduation day, she ran off with Bobby Langford.

You pass me the olive oil?

Is she the one you were gonna give your class ring to?

Who told you that? - Ross.

A long time ago.

Yeah, she was the one.

Pass me the pepper.

Not until you tell me. - Nothing to tell.

Try me.

I was planning on giving her my class ring the night before graduation.

We were standing out on her porch, and I had it out. I had it in my hand.

I'm about to give it to her, but before i can say anything,

she pops out with with the news that she's going.

Next day, gone.

You never heard from her?

A couple of postcards.

One from some small town in Kansas. Home of the world's biggest ball of twine.
