I mean, not that you're a slut

or anything.

What we got to do

is get you some sweatpants.

Oh.

Ah!

Ugh.

Ugh.

[laughs]

[van engine humming]

- Can I come in?

- Do you plumb?

No.

You just sit there and make sure

you don't set anybody's loins

on fire.

- Thank you for coming

on such short notice.

- You're quite welcome.

- Thank you.

I have some cookies in the oven

if you want a little snack

before you start.

It's still kind of a mess

in there.

- Oh, that's okay.

- Would you like some cookies,

sweetheart?

Does your daughter like cookies?

- She's not my daughter.

- Well, let me-

let me show you, okay?

- Okay.

- And this is-

I'm a little embarrassed.

This is really-

it's quite a mess.

- Don't worry.

You're not gonna show me

anything I haven't seen.

- All right, well,

right this way.

- I'm the Rooster.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Is that your kitten?

- I'm taking care of her

for a little while.

- What's her name?

- What's your name?

- Savannah.

- Maybe we'll call her Savannah.

Do you like that?

- Okay.

Can I hold her?

- 'Course.

- Here, little kitty.

Hi, baby.

She's cute.

- She's hungry.

- Are you hungry?

Hmm?

- Listen, I'm gonna have

to come back tomorrow.

You think you can deal

without flushing

for a day or so?

- Oh, we have plenty

of places to go.

- Okay, good.

Savannah?

Savannah!

[whistle blowing]

[metal clatters]

Savannah?

- I have to go.

Bye.

- I appreciate you coming,

Rooster.

- My pleasure.

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

- I was looking at the land.

- "I was looking at the land."

Does it meet with your approval?

Get in the van.

- When can I

expect you tomorrow?

- I'd say about 12:00.

- Good-bye, sweetheart.

[engine revving]

[whistle tweeting]

[crowd cheering and chanting]

- Plumber came by today.

- So what?

- It was Coach Rippington.

You remember him.

The Red Rooster?

Yeah, he's a plumber now,

apparently.

He was with some little girl.

- If he was with a girl,

it wasn't Coach Rippington.

- Oh, Amos, that's love-

that's very, very nice.

It's different

from your other work.

It looks like a comic strip.

I like it.

- Life is like a comic.

Every panel represents

a block of time.

And over the course

of someone's life,

those panels come together

to tell a story.

Now, most people think

they can write their own story.

They made big plans.

They have big expectations.

But every now and then,

someone shows up

and changes everything.

- Well, I like it very much.

- You were so great

at football, Connie.

You could've played college.

Could've gone pro.

Remember that 70-yard touchdown

you scored

against Hendersonville?

You catched that pass,
