- And Doc, we got orange marmalade.
- It looks different here.

1:29:06
Oh, sure, I fixed it all up. We got
new curtains. I painted the ice box.

1:29:11
- Looks nice.
- It's gonna stay nice, too.

1:29:14
I had another dream
the other night, Doc.

1:29:18
- About Little Sheba?
- About everything and everybody.

1:29:23
Marie and I was going to the Olympics.
1:29:26
Only it was back in
our old high school stadium.

1:29:30
There was thousands of people there.
1:29:32
Turk was in out in the field,
throwing the javelin.

1:29:36
Every time he threw it,
the crowd would roar.

1:29:39
You know who the man in charge was?
1:29:42
My father.
1:29:45
But Turk kept changing into somebody
else, so my father disqualified him.

1:29:51
Then he had to sit on the sidelines.
1:29:54
Guess who took his place, Daddy.
1:29:56
You. You came trotting out
on the field just as big as you please.

1:30:01
- How'd I do, baby?
- Oh, fine.

1:30:04
You picked up the javelin like it was
real heavy, but you threw it, Doc.

1:30:09
You threw it clear up in the sky.
1:30:11
It never came down again.
1:30:14
Then it started to rain.
1:30:16
I was going nearly crazy
'cause I couldn't find Little Sheba.

1:30:21
There were so many people,
I didn't know where to look.

1:30:24
You was waiting to take me home.
1:30:27
So we walked and walked
through the mud and the slush.

1:30:30
People was all crowding around us.
1:30:34
And then... This is the sad part, Daddy.
1:30:38
All of a sudden, I saw Little Sheba.
1:30:40
She was lying
in the middle of the field, dead.

1:30:44
I felt terrible, Doc.
Nobody else paid any attention.

1:30:48
But I cried and cried.
1:30:51
It made me feel awful.
That sweet little puppy.

1:30:55
Her white fur all smeared with mud.
No one to stop and take care of her.
