[CHUCKLES]

What's something to know

about you two

besides you got access

to a working oven?

Uh...

We sing.

But do you write songs?

We're trying to.

Me too.

MONROE:

We're ready for you girls.

It was real nice

to meet you, sir.

Good morning, sir.

We're Piper and Ada Spencer.

We're military dependents.

You here

to see your grandparents?

No, sir. We're here to see

Mr. Henry LaRue Monroe.

Why you wanna see him?

Mr. Monroe fought

with our daddy,

Staff Sergeant

Brian Spencer.

He was there

when his life ended.

Yeah, well,

Mr. Monroe is busy.

So he's not seeing anyone.

We could come back.

Well,

that's not a good idea.

PIPER:
We don't know

much about our daddy

because we were little

when he...

[]

Anyway, we just wanted

to bring this pie.

Ah, it can go in the dining hall

for the residents.

PIPER:

Mr. Monroe,

we came all this way.

Nobody asked you to do that.

[SIGHS]

Wait. Come along now, girls.

Okay, that was rough.

Uh, now, wait, wait.

I guess you caught the man

off-guard.

He didn't know what to do.

Our daddy won a silver medal

saving his life.

He didn't have one whisker

of thanks for that.

Let's go. Here. You take it.

It's chocolate chip pecan.

It's best with ice cream.

I can't carry it.

I'm a fall risk.

Bring it to my room?

Just put the pie anywhere.

Home sweet home.

I got everything in here.

Saxophone, guitar, piano.

Ada, do you play piano

or have you been

concentrating on the guitar?

- Uh, no.

- [PLAYING PIANO]

She plays piano.

We've gotta go. Sorry.

It was nice to meet you.

Piper, let's go.

One... One... Now, hold on.

I'll work on Monroe.

Come back in a few days

and I'll have info.

And the pie's

much appreciated,

but, uh, for next time,

my favorite pie

is strawberry-rhubarb.

- Okay.

- Bye, sir.

C.J.:

Bye, girls.

WOMAN [OVER PA]:

Dr. Murray, telephone call.

[]

Piper, how'd you do

with that paint horse?

- He bit.

- [CHUCKLES]

Well,

I hope you pinched him back.

I was too surprised

when it happened.

Oh, honey, they bite

you gotta pinch them right back.

Otherwise

a horse never learns.

- You know, Meemaw's right.

- Mm-hm.

You should try that

next time.

Not sure

there'll be a next time.

Oh, I'm sure Justine'll

let her ride that horse again.

What's the horse's name?

BOTH:

Monroe.

Mama, tell us something

about Daddy.

He was a wonderful man.

Mama.

MEEMAW:
And he loved

you girls so much.

Mama, tell us something new.

He liked model trains.

And saltwater taffy.

Everybody likes

saltwater taffy.

I'm not a fan.

Pulls the fillings

right out of my teeth.

Well, it's awful hard

to miss somebody

you didn't really get

to ever know.

I can't keep shooting the same
