Fingerling.
I wished it was mine
And now it is."
This is your first bite?
First animal one, yes.
My wife, she has these gnawing urges
In her sleep and...
tell me about this canine Ned.
What would you do if you
came across him again?
If I was in my truck, I'd accelerate
Until I heard a thud.
I'm sorry. I'm
just-- I'm joking.
I just-- This
is just silly.
Mr. Sparrow, animal-Control

I gave him my arm on a platter.
lower intelligence for that.
I made a mistake, okay? Write
that down. I made a mistake.
It's my fault-- Like
when I told my wife
For the living room walls, you know?
Not that women are of
lower intelligence, just...
have a good day, mr. Sparrow.
No, I'm jus--
No, Agatha is the most
intelligent person I know.
What she sees in me, I'm not sure.
Look...
I love my job, and I'm good at it.
Ned got away.
Well, yeah, but...
don't worry. Apart from
I'm giving you a clean bill of health.
You're not a danger to anyone.
That's why you can go and
have the whole day off.
Really?
I'll take it.
- Mr. Sparrow.
- Yeah.
What color did your wife
choose for the walls?
Red, blood red.
"Chapter 2:
Imagine me, if you must,
As someone you once knew.
Someone perhaps you liked.
Or better yet,
Imagine me as you.
As a kid, I was top of my class,
but because I realized
That an education was my
best shot at getting out.
There wasn't anything wrong with it.
I'm sure it ranked above average.
I had friends, but...
I always felt alone.
No one ever left,
But I wasn't gonna die here.
As much as I loved him,
I didn't want to be
anything like my dad.
Numbers were his life.
He was an accountant.
And I guess he had expected me to
take over the business he had built,
But I had other plans.
My mom was tickled pink
on my eighth birthday
When I announced I
wanted to be a detective.
Can't say the same for my father.
It really put the
kibosh on his master plan
And it fueled his hatred
for the widow dobkins.
She lived next door.
- It sounds odd, but her dog alfie...
Is the reason I became a detective.
The grass is always
greener on the other side,
That's why he was always in our yard,
And it was my job to catch him.
into the widow dobkins' yard.
