Dialogues with pictures

LOUIE: [narrating]: Of course mom had her own ideas about what made an appropriate pet. LOUIE: Well we can't get a dog or a cat well what can we get? ORA: A goldfish. LOUIE: That's a stupid pat. ANDY: When I was a catfish we're the only pets invented except now and then that would get behind your nuggets blow up like a bowler. Anyway, they didn't have pet stores and we had to scoop them out of the lake. I learned a lot of responsibility from that little scaly daily. LOUIE: It's not a name for a fish. ORA: I'm sure he'll grow on you. What are you gonna name him. LOUIE: Pepper.

ANDY: You remember your grandmother, don't you? I would tell you that like your mother would have met a president of the United States. She blames me for not being able to go visit her daughter in the White House. Other than that she's a lovely creature. LOUIE: Thanks for the lift dad. ANDY: All right. Let's get going here. Aren't you coming in? TOMMY: No way! That's like dinosaur? LOUIE: Can't be worse than dads. ANDY: I heard that! Get in here! LOUIE [narrating]: If this wasn't the worst day of my life
it was definitely in the top five. ORA: Louie we moved you into Tommy's room. LOUIE: Tommy's room? Well where'd you put him? ORA: He's in there with you. You get to share see we need your room for Grandma. Now why don't you pop in and say goodnight to her.

LOUIE [narrating]: Of course I didn't know how either. I never had a goldfish before, I didn't know how much they eat this. Thing started getting big, start waking me up in the morning.

GLEN GLENN: Yes ma'am. LOUIE: Grandma, what are you doing here. GRANDMA: Well I thought I'd stop by on my way home from the pet store. LOUIE: You bought food for Pepper?

LOUIE: Did you get my letter? JEANNIE HARPER: No, you wrote me? What'd you write? LOUIE: Nothing. I just wrote that I missed you and liked having you around. JEANNIE HARPER: You mean this letter?
