Noah: I need you to tell me everything you know about Luke.
Matt: Who’s Luke?
Noah: You don’t know Luke?
Matt: Do you mean the Sam Elliott guy?
Noah: You know who Sam Elliott is?
Matt: I just know everybody in town keeps saying Luke looks like him.
Noah: So what do you know about him?
Matt: Luke?
Noah: No! Sam Elliott!
Matt: Not much other than I’m guessing he must look a lot like Luke.
Noah: I’m starting to wish I’d been the one to drop you in the dunk tank this afternoon.
Matt: You heard about that?
Noah: Even Sam Elliott heard about that.
Matt: Did Sam Elliott hear about your little bathtub episode with Aunt Gracie?
Noah: Hey. We’re supposed to be talking about Luke.
Matt: Right. What do you want to know?
Noah: Not sure. Guess I just want to know if I need to be worried about Luke and Gracie having any little bathtub episodes together.
Matt: Thanks for that disturbing mental image. And no, I don’t think so.
Noah: What makes you say that?
Matt: Well, to steal a line from Grandpa, I’ve seen more spark between a limp worm and a dead fish than I’ve seen between Luke and Gracie.
Noah: I love Buck.
Matt: He’s the best. Any other questions?
Noah: Guess not.
Matt: Can I ask what’s going on with you and Aunt Gracie?
Noah: You can ask. Not sure I can answer. It’s complicated.
Matt: I get it. I’m still trying to find a few answers myself.
Noah: About you and Rachel?
Matt: About Sam Elliott.
