The Retriever, who's standing in the doorway, can barely make eye contact with her. Mom then walks further into the room and spots the brand-new stuffed cow'slightly dismembered'lying on the living room rug. She exclaims, "Mavie! Why? What did he do?" She then pans back over to Maverick, who clearly knows he's been busted, but is still trying to hold his head high as she walks over to the toy. The moment Mom says, "Mavie, I just bought him!
