half-pound of the kidneys.

Do me a favor. Just get one of

those pepperoni sticks out.

-I just want to hold it.

-Will you stop it? You are so bad.

I had been a hairdresser

about 14 years...

...and I went to a show,

and I saw his nibs here...

...having his way with a Borzoi.

Just trotting around that ring like he

was born to it, and he was.

I asked my ex-wife, I said, "Who's

that?" She says, "That's Scott.

He shows a good dog."

I've never seen anyone as light

on his feet--

-Light in the loafers. Say it.

-No, no, no!

-Stop. No.

-Wait until I tell Mom!

It's just he and the Borzoi seemed to

have the same prance, the same....

It was like they were two members

of the same body, you might say.

And it was a wonderful thing.

I knew a guy who had two members

on the same body.

-I dated him.

-In your dreams.

Got so exhausted.... Go on.

I'm sorry. You were telling a story.

No, and I asked Deb, I said,

"Who's that?" She said:

"That's Scott, and he cuts hair,

he grooms dogs...

...and he shows dogs,

and he's a genius."

-Then I was, like, wild man on campus.

-Club scene. Mr. Club Scene here.

On Friday night, I'd have 3 Saturday

nights, then go home and wake up.

My, God, what a thrill.

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Anyway, so we get together,

we see several movies...

-...we like the same stuff.

-Before you know it....

-It's the all-American love story.

-It sure is.

Writ large.

On the marquee, big letters: "Us."

We've been together

fiive years.

We have an amazing relationship,

and it's very physical.

I mean, he still pushes

all my buttons.

And you know, people say, "Oh, but

he's so much older than you."

And you know what? I'm the one having

to push him away.

Yeah, we both have so much in common.

We both love soup.

And we love the outdoors.

We love snow peas.

And...

...talking and not talking.

We could not talk or talk forever...

...and still find things to not

talk about.

Hi. I'm Graham Chissolm.

I'm the show chairman.

This is a very special time for me.

It's something I do every year

before the show...

...is come here and kind of, for the

last time, enjoy the solitude...

...of what I call a blank canvas.

And...

...there it is right there.

There's nothing out there.

Not that I can see, anyway.

No one here.

In five days from now, you are

not gonna believe the difference.

This center will be packed

with people.

And the roar of the crowd,

the energy...

...that this building will exude

will be phenomenal...

...with winners and losers.

Although no one loses.

We don't like to say that.

But some have a long drive home.

There are sad eyes on some dogs

that worked hard to get here.
