His name is Rosie.
Now, I know Rosie is a weird name for a boy, but I named him before I found out he was a boy.
Whatever, if you see him around the neighborhood, just give me a shout, or give me a holler, or something?
Okay, thank you.
Bye.
(bass music coming from red van) Oh, hi there, have you seen my dog?
Uh, his name is Rosie and he's a little bit black, and he's super cute but he's a little bit weird lookin'.
I made this sign to try to find him, and I like taking pictures of my dog, as you can see, so if you could just take this flyer and try to find him.
Yesssss.
- [Woman From Red Van] You just going to stand there, sometimes we need groceries.
- Oh, hi, do you know where my dog is?
He's black and he's really, really cute!
(she knocks) Magdalena!
(knocks) It's Amber.
Open up!
(knocks) You got some mail.
I'll just bring it in.
Rosie!
Come here, boy.
Oh, Rosie!
Come on.
Roooo-sie!
Come here, boy.
(wind chimes) Rosie!
Where are you, oh Rosie, come here.
Whatever.
I want to put this here.
Magdalena!
Are you home?
Hello?
Magdalena!
It's Amber.
Hello?
Sleeping again?
Whatever.
So, just so you know, I put a letter on the table out back.
You get so much mail.
I wish I got letters in the mail.
Anyways, Rosie ran off again this morning.
But he always comes back.
It's just what he does, he can't help it.
He's so rock 'n' roll.
My mom doesn't know I'm here.
But it's okay because I'm usually back before she notices.
She went out somewhere, she's always somewhere.
Oh!
Did you decide you're gonna go on that trip?
I've never been to Sebring before, is it far away?
Maybe you could send me a postcard.
Miss Magdalena, I've been meaning to thank you for that camera, I've been taking so many pictures.
I've been using it every single day, I love it!
Oh, I need to show you these signs I made for Rosie, I brought one over for you.
Whatcha got cooking?
I'm starving.
Miss Magdalena, can I have some soup?
Miss Magdalena, your soup is burning.
So, I went to go and find Rosie in your backyard.
He wasn't there.
Miss Magdalena?
Are you even home?
I guess she's not.
I love her.
(record player skipping at end of record) (Polaroid camera whirs) (car alarm in distance) - Amber!
What the hell are you doing going in there without asking me.
Get over here right now.
Who do you think you are, going in there without asking your mother?
I said, who do you think you are?
No... no... NO!
