Incidentally, the pet cemetery in Sam's backyard may also contain a great number of dogs, but we never find out.

A law office.. Sam has to wear a helmet to work, because of insurance problems, since she is epileptic and once hit her head after having a seizure.

After the dog leaves with its owner, she recognizes him as "the retarded quarterback" and gushes over his performance. He asks her what music she's listening to, and she hands him her headphones...and so, romance blossoms.
