Doberman PinscherBig A1 charged. He hit Terence like a chartered bus and as Terence fell to the ground he saw the mental checklist of things he still had to do in life disappear. He felt cheated. But this was just characteristic of his life: whenever he thought things were going well, that was when they would end. He had even given Lisa a baby chick that morning to show her that he thought she was the coolest. She loved it and chattered that he was so sweet. When Terence's death certification arrived at Lisa's door the following week, she placed it at the bottom of the chicken cage that he had given her. Then she went and hugged the Doberman Pinscher from Big Al.大个子艾尔冲上前去，像租来的大巴一样，狠狠地撞向特伦斯。随着特伦斯摔倒在地，他发现脑海中他的人生未竟事业清单也随之烟消云散。他感到自己受了欺骗，可这在他的一生中太典型了：每当他认为事情在朝好的方向发展时，事情就会在这个时候结束。早上他还送给丽莎一只小鸡以表示他认为她是最酷的。她非常喜欢，还喋喋不休地说他是多么可爱。第二周特伦斯的死亡证明书送到了丽莎家，她把它压在了他送给她的鸡笼下面，然后就去拥抱大个子艾尔送给她的德国种短毛猎犬了。
