77

00:
06:42,132 -- 00:06:45,568

You're not taking "the dog" for a walk,

you're taking "Marshall."

78

00:
06:45,652 -- 00:06:49,008

Marshall has a name. He's family.

And, anyway...

79

00:
06:49,492 -- 00:06:50,891

it's raining.

80

00:
06:51,052 -- 00:06:52,565

I know that.

81

00:
06:52,812 -- 00:06:54,404

So does Marshall.

82

00:
06:54,612 -- 00:06:56,409

He doesn't want to go.

83

00:
06:56,492 -- 00:06:57,720

Do you, Marshall?

84

00:
06:58,972 -- 00:06:59,961

Judy...

85

00:
07:00,972 -- 00:07:03,611

All right. Have a nice time.

86

00:
07:08,692 -- 00:07:11,126

He's not happy about it, Mr. McCoy.

87

00:
07:11,212 -- 00:07:12,850

Neither am I, Bill.

88

00:
07:12,932 -- 00:07:14,968

Tony, sir. My name is Tony.

89

00:
07:15,052 -- 00:07:16,644

Well, whatever.

90

00:
07:20,492 -- 00:07:22,562

Let's be men about this.

91

00:
07:35,532 -- 00:07:36,647

Hello, Sherman.

92

00:
07:36,732 -- 00:07:38,324

Good evening, Pollard.

93

00:
07:38,412 -- 00:07:40,004

It's raining, you know.

94

00:
07:40,212 -- 00:07:42,362

I did notice, yes.

95

00:
07:42,572 -- 00:07:45,882

Ah, Sherman, a true friend

to man's best friend.

96

00:
07:49,292 -- 00:07:52,170

Pollard, you old phrase-maker.

97

00:
07:52,372 -- 00:07:53,566

I beg your pardon?

98

00:
07:53,652 -- 00:07:55,847

Is that the best you can do?

99

00:
07:56,052 -- 00:07:58,088

Is that as witty as we get?

100

00:
07:58,332 -- 00:08:00,402

I don't know what you're talking about.

101

00:
08:00,492 -- 00:08:05,441

Furthermore, if you're wet

when you return, take the service elevator.

102

00:
08:09,172 -- 00:08:10,924

Come on, Marshall.

103

00:
08:52,692 -- 00:08:54,887

Maria, hello. It's me.

104

00:
08:55,732 -- 00:08:56,881

Who?

105

00:
08:57,132 -- 00:08:59,566

I'm sorry.

May I speak to Maria?

106

00:
08:59,852 -- 00:09:01,251

Who is this?

107

00:
09:02,052 -- 00:09:03,326

Maria?

108

00:
09:03,612 -- 00:09:05,091

Sherman?

109

00:
09:05,532 -- 00:09:07,250

Sherman, is that you?

110

00:
09:11,772 -- 00:09:12,966

Jesus!

111

00:
09:19,452 -- 00:09:21,010

We're back.

112

00:
09:22,132 -- 00:09:25,966

You were right. I got soaking wet

and Marshall didn't do anything.

113

00:
09:27,732 -- 00:09:30,087

If you want to talk to a Maria...

114

00:
09:30,252 -- 00:09:31,526

why call me?

115

00:
09:31,692 -- 00:09:33,284

What do you mean?

116

00:
09:33,492 -- 00:09:36,723

Please don't lie.

It makes your forehead crinkle.

117

00:
09:37,772 -- 00:09:39,683

What are we talking about?

118

00:
09:41,452 -- 00:09:43,568

You should see your face.

119

00:
09:44,212 -- 00:09:47,204

I don't get it.

Did I miss something?

120

00:
09:47,412 -- 00:09:51,883
