So, this segment purports to focus on Mike Hanlon, but it's about Bill again. It's very short, focusing on Bill going to Mike's, fixing up silver, and asking about the posts. Mike replies that it's a speech exercise that Bill tried in vain to master, to win his mother's love back. Bill protests that he did manage once, but neither of them can recall it.
This segment is actually in the mini-series, with 'It's all right' playing in the background, as Bill rides Silver gleefully. They did a 180 on the tone and impact of the scene; Bill has no intention to ride Silver, he protests (too quickly.)
The only thing that's odd is that when playing cards are brought out (for the spokes, of course) there's an extra ace of spades with a red back in the deck. It and the blue back ace (the deck's color) are the only cards that land face-up when Bill spills them. Bill is scared, but says something to the effect of 'Of course this is happening, it's literal magic, why am I surprised?'
Really, all this segment is is a chance to have a bit of normalcy before we visit Henry Bowers in the asylum, raving mad, and ready to kill.
See you then!
