june: we didn’t think you’d be coming back for the puppy.
mr. teller: i said i would when i dropped the puppy off.
sylvio: yes, but that was months ago. we thought you’d be back for the puppy in a couple days. now she’s a full-grown dog. we have raised her ourselves, we built her her own doghouse, and we love her.
mr. teller: but she’s my dog. i only dropped her off at your house for safekeeping since i had to go out of town on business. now i’m back and i want my dog back.
