I'll never forget Wiener-Dog.

Maybe when you're older.

No.

Never.

Did Dad watch her die?

No.

They would never allow that.

So she was alone.

No, the vet was with her.

Where do you think

they buried her?

I don't know.

Actually,

she was probably cremated.

What's cremated?

Sort of like put in an oven.

Honey, death is a sad thing,

but it's a natural thing.

And sometimes it happens

without any reason at all.

Well, what about God?

We don't believe in God.

Well, what do we believe in?

Truth, compassion, love.

We're all going to die.

That's why we have each other.

That's why we love each other.

Then death is...

a good thing?

Yeah?

All right, hold on.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo

Doo dee

Doo Dee?

Howdy, Doo Dee.

Hey, Wiener dog.

- Brandon McCarthy?

- How's it going?

Wo... Wow!

Yeah, wow.

What are you doing here?

Not much.

Passing through.

Huh.

You look pretty good.

Thanks.

You do, too.

- Weird.

- Yeah, I know.

I actually tried looking

you up on Facebook once.

Oh, yeah?

Why?

I don't know.

I was just surfing around and...

I don't know. Your name.

I mean, I've tried looking

up other people, too.

Like who?

Remember Ralphie?

Who?

He used to hang out with me

in, like, seventh grade.

Oh, is he like gay pride

or something?

Transgender.

Huh.

- You used to pick on him a lot.

- Really?

- Yeah, like all the time.

- Hmm.

You even beat him up once.

You smashed his head

against the sidewalk.

Remember?

It's funny how none

of that sh*t sticks.

Yeah.

- Well, um...

- Maybe, uh...

So, uh, do you want

to exchange e-mails or...

I don't know, maybe catch up?

We're kind of caught up now.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, but, like,

I'm really just passing through.

That's okay.

Totally cool.

Well, take care.

Take care!

Hey. There you go.

There you go.

Good.

Yeah.

Hey there, little meaner.

Her name is Doo Dee.

You mean, like, sh*t?

I got her a week or so ago.

She was sick,

but now she's much better.

She likes you.

Yeah, dogs like me.

She looks like you.

Thanks.

I'm going to Ohio tomorrow.

I leave early.

You want to come along?

What's in Ohio?

Crystal meth.

Okay.

- Joke.

- Yeah.

I-I-I know.

I miss nothing here.

Hi.

Doo Dee

Doo Dee

Doo

Dee, Doo Dee

You wait here.

Who was that?

Nobody.

You like it here in America?

No.

We prefer Mexico.

But isn't it very dangerous

there now?

I mean, with the drug violence?

Yes, but not so lonely.

In America, so lonely.

And sad.

And depressing.

Like a big,

fat elephant

drowning in a sea of despair.

Sometimes it's just too hard

to lose weight
