“Well, here we are, Chip. Back in Beech Grove, Indiana!”

“You know, Babs. The old homestead really hasn’t changed much.”

“The Colonial Movie House is still open! Man, I’m so happy they didn’t get rid of that beautiful façade. Mom hated it, always saying it looked like a widow’s walk.”

“I bet you can’t remember the first movie we saw there, sis. Loser buys lunch.”

“Are you kidding me? It was “The Blob” with Steve McQueen. God, I loved that man!”

“That’s right! I forgot about your crush!”

“Look! Fire Station #1910 is now a burger joint. You’re buying, bro!”
