βWell, here we are, Chip. Back in Beech Grove, Indiana!β
βYou know, Babs. The old homestead really hasnβt changed much.β
βThe Colonial Movie House is still open! Man, Iβm so happy they didnβt get rid of that beautiful faΓ§ade. Mom hated it, always saying it looked like a widowβs walk.β
βI bet you canβt remember the first movie we saw there, sis. Loser buys lunch.β
βAre you kidding me? It was βThe Blobβ with Steve McQueen. God, I loved that man!β
βThatβs right! I forgot about your crush!β
