=== 1950s ===
George arrived at The Ranch with Lennie. He was greeted by Candy, who ran off to scold Carlson for killing his dog. Slim introduced himself to George, followed by Curley's Wife, who George attempted to flirt with. Curley, angered, beat up Slim and threatened to beat up Lennie to punish George, but was killed by Lennie along with his wife. Candy returned, explaining that Carlson had bought him a new puppy, before falling into a stunned silence upon seeing the corpses on the floor.
