at anything that happened.

Since that plane went over here,

things have been mighty

funny around here.

- Plane?

- Yeah.

There's that game leg

of mine vibrating again.

Say, Allan, did I ever

tell you how I got this leg?

Teddy R and me, we was

charging up this ridge...

- Ben, Ben... ...and there...

Ben, about this airplane.

Passed over this morning, you say?

Well, it sounded like planes, anyway.

One of them jets, maybe.

But I never knew them come so close.

Oh, yeah, I was telling

you about my leg.

(PAIL CLATTERING)

Consarn that cow! That's the

second time she's done that!

(LAUGHING)

Flying machines.

I know what you mean, Ben.

- Take care, now.

- Yeah.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- Yeah, drop in.

(ENGINE STARTING)

- Hi, girl. Going my way?

- Hi, Dad.

What's the matter,

honey? You've been crying?

Oh, I was swimming and Him's

been following me again.

You know he's as harmless as Duke.

(HIGH-PITCHED HUMMING)

(BARKING)

- Carol?

- Hello, Allan.

What's happened?

Plane, I guess, a jet.

Almost hit the house.

All the windows in the living room, too.

- Doesn't seem possible that an airplane...

- What else could it have been?

- Mother, all the glasses and your china...

- I know.

Is it... What can I do?

You can pick up the glass in the

living room. I'll finish this.

All right.

- This is the limit. I'm calling the sheriff.

- I've already spoken to the sheriff.

He thinks it's a big

joke, but he's checking.

ALLAN:
Carol, are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine as usual.

Come in. Lunch will

be ready in a minute.

- Tell Him to get out.

- Carol, he's only coming in to eat.

I've been through enough today,

Allan. I can't explain. Please.

What can I tell him?

You might as well know right now,

I don't want him in

this house, now or ever.

Carol, he understands you.

CAROL:
You understand, do you? Fine.

Then get out of my house.

Well, go ahead, say it.

You mean, say that you shouldn't

have talked to him like that?

All right, it was wrong.

But I wasn't going

to say that because...

Well, I... I think I understand.

A little, anyway.

All your beautiful china, your glasses.

They were all you had left from home,

weren't they?

I... I'd better fix lunch.

(HIGH-PITCHED HUMMING)

(BARKING)

- Hi, Mr. Kelley.

- Hi, Larry.

- How've you been?

- Fine.

- Any news on that plane?

- Afraid not.

Sheriff sent me out to check the damage.

Most of the damage is inside,

(CHUCKLING)

But Sandy's on the outside.

- I'll check the damage later.

- All right, boy. She's probably out back.

LARRY:
Hey, Sandy, where are you?

Hey, Sandy, where are you?

(SIGHING)

- Hi.

- Hi.

I... Mother wanted to know if you
