A 30-year old man enters a house and puts his keys down. He is all depressed and sad. He walks up to his room. When he is in his room he takes off his work clothes and changes into more comfortable clothing. Then he walks over to a picture of him as a little boy standing next to an old man with a cane. Tears start flowing from his eyes

"Well Mr. Fredricksen. My adventures haven't been that great."

A dog runs up to his room. It jumps into the man's lap and starts licking him.

"Hello boy."

"Hi master!" The dog says.

"Doug, you're voice box isn't working again."

The man fixes the voice collar.

"Russell! Dinner's ready!"

"Coming sweetie."

Russell places the photo of him and Mr. Fredricksen next to a scrapbook that says "My Adventure Book."

Russell comes down for dinner.

"How was work sweetie?"

"Oh the usual."

"You can't keep being like this. I know it's hard since-, well you know what."

Russell takes his food and goes to his room. His wife just looks at Doug.

"What can I do to help him?"

"Oh I know!"

"That was a rhetorical question Doug!"

Russell just jumps onto his bed and lies there staring up at the ceiling.
