I'll let you know.

Hello?

Hey, Dan.

Wendy? Hold on,

let me turn down the TV.

Where are you?

In Oregon.

Raining?

Yeah, kind of, sort of.

On and off.

So what's up?

Nothing. I'm just calling.

Just, you know, just...

Nothing?

The car broke.

I don't know.

It's kind of bad here, actually.

Lucy's lost.

Who's that?

It's your sister.

She broke down in Oregon.

Hi Deb.

0regon?

What does she want us to do about it?

Nothing. I'm just calling.

She's just calling.

We can't do anything. We're strapped.

I don't know what she wants.

I don't want anything.

I'm just calling.

I can't talk with everyone

on the phone.

I'll talk to you when you're

done with Dan. Bye, honey.

Everything's all right?

Yeah. Everything's great.

You kind of sound like you're busy

over there, so I'm gonna call you later.

All right, if everything's fine.

See ya.

Yeah, see ya, bye.

Lu!

Luce!

I was usually like

the only white person there.

That's so weird.

Why does that girl

hate you so much?

I saw the cheerleading squad. Madison's

got some chunky cheerleaders.

Dude, f***,

there's a lady in there!

Your mom's always tired.

Yeah, my mom's like,

always, always...

Just a minute!

Good morning. Hello, Amy.

Hello, Mike.

What is going on

with the traffic?

Well, we have activity on Northeast 53rd Avenue

between Gleason and Irving...

...so it is closed.

She's medium sized.

Yellow-gold in color.

Her name is Lucy.

I left her tied up to a post

and then when I got back

she wasn't there anymore.

Well, I don't see

anything here that matches.

But come on, let's go take a look in the

back. You never know. Okay? Follow me.

Okay, so you can go

right around the corner here.

CARROLL WENDY:

CANINE FEMALE SPAYED

Okay, no address?

And no phone either?

No. I mean, no,

not right now.

I'm just passing through.

Do you have a

previous address?

My sister and her husband.

They live at...

...East, 73 East Jackson...

...Muncie, Indiana, 47603.

You can use that.

Okay.

Do you think that

you'll find her soon?

Well...

...you're just gonna have

to keep checking in, okay?

It's gonna be up to you now.

Okay.

Thank you.

I don't think so.

Okay, just set the Voltmeter

to the DC scale, all right?

Measure the voltage

across the battery terminals.

The volt meter reads

less than 14 volts...

...you know, it should read 14.

Okay?

If it reads less than 12

you might have a problem.

Okay, tell you what...

...you turn on the heater...

...you turn on the defogger...

...you turn on the radio,

and you rev up the motor...

...you're turning on

everything that draws power...

...and then you turn on the

motor, you rev up the motor...

...and if the Voltmeter reads
