You are the manager?

Go! Yes, sir.

Oscar Schmidt.

What's this?

My bill.

Your delivery truck just ran over Suzy.

I'm reporting this to the police, by the way.

She was too young to die.

She died?

Yes. She was only seven.

Oh, no.

I'm sorry.

Best friend a man ever had.

Suzy wasn't a person?

No, a Rottweiler.

What's that got to do with anything?

Just trying to get a handle on this.

Sorry about your dog, but we don't have any delivery trucks.

You have blue trucks?

Yes.

They have your name on them?

Yes, but they don't do delivery.

They're to pick up and bring goods to the

A delivery what?

Wait a minute Mr. uh

Melnick.

Let's start over.

I am sorry about the loss of your dog,

but I still don't understand why you're giving me this.

Because your truck ran over my doggie!

Where did this happen?

Hawthorne Terrace, Goldmine Road.

None of our trucks would be anywhere near Hawthorne Terrace,

Mr. Melnick.

I'm sure there's been a mistake.

I'm sorry for you anywayand for Suzy.

[Inaudible]

That's him.

That's him.

Murderer! Doggie killer!

You ran over his dog?

Yeah. Little breed was chasing the truck.

Tried to dodge but [makes sound] went right under the grill.

With one of our trucks?

Yeah. I'm really sorry about that.

But, you know, as one life enters the world,

another one leaves.

The harmony of nature is prezoived.

You want to kill him, be my guest.

But we had nothing to do with it.

He must have stolen one of the trucks.

I'm going to sue you for every penny you've got.

He was your man.

He was driving your truck.

He was making your delivery.

He thinks you were making a delivery.

I was making a delivery.

See, this woman was having a baby

at checkup station number 6.

[Laughs] Got her to the hospital just in time.

I guess we do make deliveries,

but it's not my fault.

I never gave him permission to use the truck

to take a customer to the hospital.

So what was it?

A boy or a girl?
