Russ Tamblyn: Dog Walker God

Quotes 

• Joan Girardi : What are you doing here? Haven't you done enough?

  Dog Walker God : She loved you, Joan.

  Joan Girardi : And I loved her. What am I supposed to do with that now?

  Dog Walker God : Did you ever hear the riddle about the man, his boxes, and the bridge?

  Joan Girardi : S-S-Stop. I... I just want my friend back.

  Dog Walker God : A man had three boxes. Each box weighed five pounds. The man weighed 190. The bridge could only support 200. How did the man make it across the bridge with all his boxes?

  Joan Girardi : This is just cruel.

  Dog Walker God : How did he get across, Joan?

  Joan Girardi : He juggles. Yes, okay, I get it. He keeps one box in the air the whole time. Yes, I get it. What-what-what are you saying? That if-if I juggled boxes across a bridge I'll see Judith again?

  Dog Walker God : Joan, the bridge is life. The boxes hold your feelings; your love, your joy, your pain, your loss. Everyone is crossing a bridge with more weight than they can bear. So, you juggle.
