Wendy And Lucy Page #3

---

Well, that's too bad. If I see it,

I'll give you a call. Good luck.

Thanks. Appreciate that.

Lucy!

Anything?

Afraid not.

They came and rolled your

car away about an hour ago.

You know, I was remembering today,

when I was a boy I'd go hunting...

...and sometimes we'd lose the hound...

...so my daddy would take his

coat and leave it in the woods...

...the last place that he saw the dog.

And after supper he'd come

back to fetch the coat...

...and more often than not he'd

come back with the dog as well.

Could I use that phone again?

Sure.

Thank you.

Hello, I'm calling to check on a dog

that I reported missing. Lucy.

Yeah, sorry, I've just been away from my

phone and so I thought I would check.

Okay.

Okay. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Wait.

Did you say that the dog would,

the dog came back to a coat?

Yes, indeed.

That's how I remember it.

Lucy!

Lu!

Lu?

Please, please, please.

Man.

Don't look at me.

This is a steep hill, huh?

Ain't it?

Those kids coming down

on a cardboard...

...they're having some fun.

Of course if that cardboard

wasn't so worn and old, you know,

they'd slide better, right?

I don't like this place.

You know, it's the

f***ing people.

The f***ing people

that bother me.

God, they have attitude.

I mean...

...I'm out here...

...just trying to be a good boy...

...and it's just like

they don't want to let me...

...you know?

I mean, they treat me like

trash, like I ain't got no rights.

I mean...

...they can smell the weakness on you.

Move it along, move it along.

F*** you.

You know? F*** you!

I mean, they gotta know I've killed

over 700 people with my bare hands.

We lost, man.

F*** if I know.

Hang on, girl.

I'm coming.

You look a little stricken.

I've been here since eight.

Where have you been?

I had to take Holly's son

to school.

It's my day off today too.

You got a call after you left

here last night. The pound.

Really?

Yes, indeed.

Hi, this is

Wendy Carroll calling.

I got a message from you all

last night about my dog Lucy.

Are you positive?

Okay, where is she exactly?

Where the 30 meets Leaf...

Where the 30 meets

Leaf Erickson.

Okay, well, I'll be there right

away. Thank you very much.

Yep. Bye-bye.

All right? Good news?

Yeah. That's good news,

that's good news.

Great.

Someone took her home.

Someone took her home

the day she came in

and that's why they had

such a hard time finding her.

She's in a foster home.

Great. I told you they would find

her. Let that go on the record.

It's on the record.

So, that's it, huh?

You're gonna be pulling out?

Uh-huh, that's the plan.

Well, I hope it all works out.

I know it will.

I want you to take this.

Don't argue.

Just don't argue.

Don't let Holly see. Just...

If you ever come by here again,

you just stop by and say hi, huh?

Thank you. I will.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Ferry Running Times

Finally.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

You're up early.

You want some coffee?

I think the first pot's ready.

Yeah, Indiana plates.

You're a long way from home, aren't you?

Got a long way to go, too.

Well, the guy was right

about the serpentine belt.

It's cracked

all over the place.

Just a matter of time

before the car gave out on you.

Yeah, that's what he said.

He wasn't all wrong,

but he wasn't all right either.

The serpentine belt is worn out, but

that's not why the car won't start.

No?

You've got milky oil.

I didn't ask you

to check the oil.

I'm just telling you.

Look, you snapped a piston rod.

Actually, you blew

the head gasket first...

...water got into the cylinder

probably when you cooled it down.

The rod can't compress

the fluid then.

And there you go, you ended up

with what they call "Hydro lock".

And if you want the car to drive again,

you'd have to rebuild the whole engine.

Honestly, I don't think

it's what you want to do.

It would end up costing

more than the car is worth.

Yeah?

No, I couldn't get

around to it yesterday.

Can you call me back later?

Righto. Bye.

Are you sure?

Yeah. No question.

How much?

To fix it?

Two thousand.

At least two thousand.

Like I said, more than the car's worth.

On the other hand,

it's less than a new car.

Look, I know this is bad news. It's

not what anyone ever wants to hear.

But see, the thing is,

the car's taking up space out there

and I need to know

what to do with it.

I'll tell you what, just make it 30

bucks for the tow, for the...

...to junk it, and we'll take care

of everything and that'll be it.

It's just that I can't just leave the

car sitting out there, it's gotta go.

Okay. This is good here.

Thank you.

Hey, Lu.

Hey, Lu!

Did you miss me? Huh?

You miss me? Huh?

You miss me? Huh? Come here,

Luce. Come here. Did you miss me?

I'm sorry. Come here.

I know, I know.

Come on, Lu, don't be mad.

Here.

I got you something.

Look at that.

Go get it.

Good girl!

You're such a good

catcher, huh? Drop it.

Yes, such a good dog.

Go get it, Lu.

Go get that stick.

Good dog.

You are the best catcher.

Drop it, Lu.

Lu. Lu, give me that stick.

Give me that stick, Lu.

Give me that stick.

Drop it. Good dog!

Good girl.

It's so nice here, Lu.

That man seems nice.

Yeah, you got a nice yard.

I'm sorry, Lu.

I lost the car.

You be good.

I'll come back.

I'm gonna make some money

and I'll come back.

Okay, Lu?

Be good.
