If Blood knows, why didn't he tell you?

Dog:
Vic!

Blood?

Dog:
Vic!

Blood?

Dog:
Hello, partner.

Blood, we made it back.

Who's your new tailor, Albert?

How long has it been since you ate?

Dog:
Grabbed a lizard yesterday, uh

Dog:
Maybe it was the day

before. I can't seem to remember...

Well, we got to leg it into town

and get you something to eat fast.

Dog:
No, Fellini's

taken everything over.

Dog:
Slaughtered every

solo who wouldn't join him.

Dog:
Whole town's under their control

Dog:
Can't get any food there

Dog:
You can't even go back at all.

Okay, just take it easy.

Dog:
I can't take it any other way.

Dog:
I'm almost gone...

Dog:
Better just leave and find

some place where you can stay alive.

Heh, how about Over The Hill, Tiger?

Dog:
Hmm, I can't make

it the way I am now.

Dog:
But you might be able to.

He needs food and he needs medicine.

We've got to get it fast.

'Cuz we can't make it without him.

We're too late, darling.

There's nothing we can do about it now.

Vic, we've got to get out of here.

We're going to be together.

You want us to be together.

Now, I love you.

If you love me, you'll come on, too.

Dog:
You haven't eaten a bite.

I'm not hungry.

Dog:
Um, I really appreciate this.

Dog:
Well, let's press on.

Dog:
Now, where were you?

Dog:
Oh yeah in the hospital.

Oh Blood, come on.

Dog:
You know if they just let you

have your way with the blushing bride

Dog:
Instead of hooking

you up to the machine

Dog:
You'd probably

never come back up.

You sure you had enough to eat?

Dog:
Oh yes

Dog:
I'm satiated.

What?

Dog:
Nothing, I said I'm full

Dog:
But after we walk all day, you'll

probably have to cook up what's left.

She said she loved me.

Oh hell, it wasn't my fault she

picked me to get all wet-brained over.

Dog:
Well I'd say she had

marvelous judgment, Albert

Dog:
If not particularly good taste

Dog:
particularly good....
