Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:55,597 --> 00:00:58,809
There are some fish
that cannot be caught.
2
00:01:00,852 --> 00:01:03,981
It's not that they're faster
or stronger than other fish .
3
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:07,317
They're just touched
by something extra .
4
00:01:08,568 --> 00:01:11,238
One such fish was The Beast.
5
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:16,994
And by the time I was born
he was aIready a Iegend .
6
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,748
He'd passed up more $1 00 lures
than any fish in AIabama .
7
00:01:23,375 --> 00:01:25,919
Some said that fish was
the ghost of a thief. . .
8
00:01:26,086 --> 00:01:29,298
. . .who'd drowned in that river
60 years before .
9
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:35,512
Others claimed he was a dinosaur
left over from the "Cruaceous" Period .
10
00:01:35,679 --> 00:01:39,516
I didn't put any stock into
such speculation or superstition .
11
00:01:39,683 --> 00:01:42,352
All I knew was I'd been trying
to catch that fish . . .
12
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:45,022
. . . since I was a boy
no bigger than you .
13
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:48,025
And on the day you were born . . . .
14
00:01:48,191 --> 00:01:51,194
Well , that was the day
I finally caught him .
15
00:01:53,071 --> 00:01:54,865
Now, I'd tried everything on it:
16
00:01:55,032 --> 00:01:58,869
Worms , lures , peanut butter,
peanut butter and cheese .
17
00:01:59,036 --> 00:02:01,663
But on that day I had a revelation :
18
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:06,668
If that fish was Henry Walls' ghost,
then the usual bait wasn't gonna work.
19
00:02:06,835 --> 00:02:11,131
I was gonna have to use something
he truly desired .
20
00:02:12,049 --> 00:02:14,718
-Your finger?
-Gold .
21
00:02:15,552 --> 00:02:18,764
Now, I tied my ring onto
the strongest line they made . . .
22
00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:23,185
. . . strong enough to hold up a bridge ,
they said , if only for a few minutes .
23
00:02:24,227 --> 00:02:27,064
And then I cast upriver.
24
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:34,446
The Beast jumped up and grabbed it
before it even hit the water.
25
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:39,076
And just as fast,
he snapped clean through that line .
26
00:02:39,242 --> 00:02:40,911
Well , you can see my predicament.
27
00:02:41,078 --> 00:02:45,082
My wedding ring ,
the symbol of fidelity to my wife . . .
28
00:02:45,332 --> 00:02:48,001
- . . . soon to be mother of my child . . .
-Make him stop .
29
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:51,088
. . .was now lost in the gut
of an uncatchable fish .
30
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:52,923
What did you do?
31
00:02:53,090 --> 00:02:56,385
I followed that fish upriver
and downriver.
32
00:02:58,095 --> 00:03:00,514
This fish , The Beast. . .
33
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,645
. . .the whole time we were calling it
a him , when in fact it was a her.
34
00:03:06,812 --> 00:03:09,106
It was fat with eggs
it was gonna lay any day .
35
00:03:09,272 --> 00:03:11,942
Now, I was in a situation .
36
00:03:12,109 --> 00:03:15,779
I could gut that fish
and get my wedding ring back. . .
37
00:03:16,405 --> 00:03:21,201
. . . but in doing so I'd be killing the
smartest catfish in the Ashton River.
38
00:03:21,368 --> 00:03:23,787
Did I want to deprive
my son the chance . . .
39
00:03:23,954 --> 00:03:26,998
. . .to catch a fish like this
of his own?
40
00:03:27,165 --> 00:03:29,793
This ladyfish and I . . . .
41
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,464
-Well , we had the same destiny .
-"We were part of the same equation . "
42
00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:37,676
Now, you may well ask. . .
43
00:03:37,843 --> 00:03:41,596
Oh , darling , darling ,
it's still your night.
44
00:03:41,763 --> 00:03:47,644
. . .why did it strike so quick on gold
when nothing else would attract it?
45
00:03:47,811 --> 00:03:50,939
That was the lesson
I learned that day . . .
46
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:54,151
. . .the day my son was born .
47
00:03:54,317 --> 00:04:00,365
Sometimes the only way to catch
an uncatchable woman . . .
48
00:04:00,532 --> 00:04:04,077
. . . is to offer her a wedding ring .
49
00:04:12,502 --> 00:04:15,172
What, a father's not allowed
to talk about his son?
50
00:04:15,338 --> 00:04:17,174
I'm a footnote in that story , Dad . . .
51
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:23,346
. . .the conte xt for your great adventure ,
which never happened , incidentally .
52
00:04:23,513 --> 00:04:26,683
You were selling novelty products
in Wichita when I was born .
53
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:29,436
Come on , Will .
Everyone loves that story !
54
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:33,982
They don't. I don't love that story . Not
anymore . Not after a thousand times !
55
00:04:34,149 --> 00:04:38,069
I know every punch line , Dad .
I can tell them as well as you can !
56
00:04:38,236 --> 00:04:41,531
For one night,
one night in your entire life . . .
57
00:04:41,698 --> 00:04:44,868
. . .the universe did not revolve
around Edward Bloom .
58
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:49,289
-How can you not understand that?
-I'm sorry to embarrass you .
59
00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:53,376
You're embarrassing yourself, Dad .
You just don't see it.
60
00:04:55,504 --> 00:04:59,549
After that night, l didn't speak
to my father again for three years.
61
00:05:05,055 --> 00:05:09,059
William Bloom , U nited Press
I nternational . If I could just--
62
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:15,398
We communicated indirectly , l guess.
63
00:05:15,565 --> 00:05:19,569
ln her letters and Christmas cards,
my mother wrote for both of them .
64
00:05:19,903 --> 00:05:24,824
And when l'd call , she'd say Dad was
out driving or swimming in the pool .
65
00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:28,036
True to form , we never
talked about not talking .
66
00:05:30,372 --> 00:05:34,751
The truth is, l didn't see anything
of myself in my father.
67
00:05:34,918 --> 00:05:38,255
And l don't think he saw anything
of himself in me.
68
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:45,387
We were like strangers
who knew each other very well .
69
00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:52,853
ln telling the story
of my father's life . . .
70
00:05:53,019 --> 00:05:57,524
. . . it's impossible to separate fact
from fiction , the man from the myth .
71
00:06:00,318 --> 00:06:04,155
The best l can do
is to tell it the way he told me .
72
00:06:05,907 --> 00:06:09,369
lt doesn't always make sense ,
and most of it never happened .
73
00:06:34,436 --> 00:06:37,105
Give me back my ring !
74
00:06:49,451 --> 00:06:50,994
Thank you !
75
00:06:51,328 --> 00:06:54,539
But that's what kind of story this is.
76
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,843
His birth would set the pace
for his unlikely life .
77
00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:10,055
No longer than most men's,
but larger.
78
00:07:10,221 --> 00:07:12,599
And as strange as his stories got. . .
79
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:16,269
. . .the endings were always
the most surprising of all .
80
00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:45,757
Yes . Yes , he's here .
81
00:07:46,883 --> 00:07:48,677
It's your mother.
82
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:57,519
And what does Dr. Bennett say?
83
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,731
No , sure , I'll talk to him .
84
00:08:02,732 --> 00:08:04,734
Yeah , I'll wait.
85
00:08:04,901 --> 00:08:06,403
It's bad?
86
00:08:06,569 --> 00:08:10,699
Yeah , it's more than they thought.
They're gonna stop chemo .
87
00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:14,577
-You need to go .
-Probably tonight.
88
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:18,999
-I'm going with you .
-No , no , no . You shouldn't.
89
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:20,959
I'm going with you .
90
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,115
Now, which one's it gonna be?
91
00:08:52,282 --> 00:08:55,118
"Monkey in a Barn , "
or "Dog in the Road"?
92
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:57,454
The one about the witch .
93
00:08:57,787 --> 00:09:00,749
Your momma says I can't
tell you that one anymore .
94
00:09:00,915 --> 00:09:04,502
-You get nightmares .
-But I'm not scared .
95
00:09:06,296 --> 00:09:08,798
Well , neither was I , at first.
96
00:09:09,299 --> 00:09:12,218
Now, this took place
in the swamp outside of Ashton .
97
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:17,057
Children weren't allowed in the swamp
on account of the snakes, spiders. . .
98
00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:21,853
. . . and quicksand that would swallow
you up before you could even scream .
99
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:24,272
There were five of us
out there that night:
100
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:28,276
Me , Ruthie , Wilbur Freely . . .
101
00:09:28,443 --> 00:09:32,113
. . . and the Price Brothers,
Don and Zacky .
102
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,117
And not one of us knew
what was in store.
103
00:09:36,659 --> 00:09:40,872
lt's common knowledge that most
towns of a certain size have a witch . . .
104
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:43,249
. . . if only to eat
misbehaving children . . .
105
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:46,628
. . . and the occasional puppy
who wanders into her yard .
106
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:49,964
Witches use those bones
to cast spells and curses. . .
107
00:09:50,131 --> 00:09:52,509
. . . and make the land infertile.
108
00:09:52,675 --> 00:09:56,846
-Is it true she got a glass eye?
-I heard she got it from gypsies .
109
00:09:57,013 --> 00:09:59,182
-What's a gypsy?
-Your momma's a gypsy .
110
00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:00,683
Your momma's a bitch .
111
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:03,061
You shouldn't swear.
There's ladies present.
112
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:04,479
-Shit.
-Damn .
113
00:10:04,646 --> 00:10:05,688
Screw.
114
00:10:05,855 --> 00:10:07,982
Turn off your flashlights.
She'll see you !
115
00:10:08,149 --> 00:10:10,777
Yet of all the witches in Alabama . . .
116
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:13,863
. . .there was one who was said
to be the most feared .
117
00:10:14,030 --> 00:10:18,118
For she had one glass eye which
was said to contain mystical powers.
118
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:22,163
I heard if you look right at it,
you'll see how you're gonna die .
119
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:26,042
That's bull-S-H-I-T , that is.
She's not even a real witch .
120
00:10:26,209 --> 00:10:28,253
If you're so sure , go get that eye .
121
00:10:28,419 --> 00:10:33,049
I heard she keeps it in a bo x on her
night table . Or are you too scared?
122
00:10:33,216 --> 00:10:35,385
I'll go in right now and get that eye .
123
00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:37,637
-Then do it.
-Fine , I will .
124
00:10:37,804 --> 00:10:40,765
-Fine , you do it.
-Fine , I'm doing it.
125
00:10:40,932 --> 00:10:43,226
Edward , don't!
126
00:10:43,393 --> 00:10:47,313
She'll make soap out of you .
That's what she does.
127
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,149
She makes soap out of people .
128
00:11:39,949 --> 00:11:42,285
Ma'am , my name is Edward Bloom . . .
129
00:11:42,452 --> 00:11:45,121
. . . and there's some folks
like to see your eye .
130
00:11:58,301 --> 00:12:00,261
-You get The Eye?
-I brought it.
131
00:12:00,428 --> 00:12:01,554
Let's see it.
132
00:12:07,185 --> 00:12:09,103
Whoa, help !
133
00:12:18,988 --> 00:12:23,242
I saw how I was gonna die .
I was old and I fell .
134
00:12:23,993 --> 00:12:26,412
I wasn't old at all .
135
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:37,507
I was thinking about death and all .
About seeing how you're gonna die .
136
00:12:37,674 --> 00:12:41,177
I mean , on one hand ,
if dying was all you thought about. . .
137
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:43,179
. . . it could kind of screw you up .
138
00:12:43,346 --> 00:12:47,100
But it could kind of help you ,
couldn't it?
139
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:51,354
Because , everything else ,
you'd know you could survive .
140
00:12:54,190 --> 00:12:57,277
I guess I'm saying I'd like to know.
141
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:10,748
That's how I go .
142
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:34,480
H i , Mom .
143
00:13:39,861 --> 00:13:45,616
-Is that Dr. Bennett's car?
-Yes . He's up with your father now.
144
00:13:45,992 --> 00:13:49,495
-And how is he?
-Well-- No , I got it.
145
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:53,750
He's impossible . He won't eat.
Because he doesn't eat, he's weaker.
146
00:13:53,916 --> 00:13:56,002
Because he's weak,
he doesn't want to eat.
147
00:13:56,169 --> 00:14:01,049
-How much time does he have left?
-You don't talk about that.
148
00:14:01,382 --> 00:14:02,925
Not yet.
149
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,095
Will .
150
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:10,183
Dr. Bennett. Oh , it's good to see you .
151
00:14:10,350 --> 00:14:12,935
My wife , Josephine .
152
00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:15,104
A pleasure .
153
00:14:15,813 --> 00:14:19,484
-You're seven months .
-To the day !
154
00:14:21,486 --> 00:14:22,779
It's a boy .
155
00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:31,120
Try to get him to drink one of these .
He won't, but go ahead and try .
156
00:15:16,999 --> 00:15:18,292
Dad?
157
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:31,889
You want some water?
158
00:15:48,573 --> 00:15:52,535
-You are in for a surprise .
-Am I?
159
00:15:52,827 --> 00:15:55,663
Having a kid changes everything .
160
00:15:55,830 --> 00:15:59,584
There's the diapers and the burping
and the midnight feeding .
161
00:15:59,750 --> 00:16:02,753
-Did you do any of that?
-No .
162
00:16:03,379 --> 00:16:05,381
But I hear it's terrible .
163
00:16:05,882 --> 00:16:11,012
Then you spend years trying
to corrupt and mislead this child . . .
164
00:16:11,179 --> 00:16:15,975
. . .fill its head with nonsense ,
and still it turns out perfectly fine .
165
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:21,105
-You think I'm up for it?
-You learned from the best.
166
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:27,904
Drink half the can .
I'll tell Mom you drank it all .
167
00:16:28,070 --> 00:16:29,614
Everyone wins .
168
00:16:30,156 --> 00:16:34,076
People needn't worry so much .
It's not my time yet.
169
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:36,204
This is not how I go .
170
00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:40,583
-Really?
-Truly . I saw it in The Eye .
171
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:44,545
-The old lady by the swamp?
-She was a witch .
172
00:16:44,712 --> 00:16:47,381
No , she was old and probably senile .
173
00:16:47,548 --> 00:16:52,720
I saw my death in that eye ,
and this isn't how it happens .
174
00:16:52,887 --> 00:16:54,931
So how does it happen?
175
00:16:55,097 --> 00:16:59,685
Surprise ending .
Wouldn't want to ruin it for you .
176
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:03,731
Your mother thought
we wouldn't talk again .
177
00:17:03,898 --> 00:17:06,692
Look at us. We're talking fine .
178
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:08,736
We're storytellers , both of us .
179
00:17:08,903 --> 00:17:14,408
I speak mine out,
you write yours down . Same thing .
180
00:17:15,826 --> 00:17:17,495
Dad . . . .
181
00:17:20,289 --> 00:17:22,917
I hope to talk about some things
while I'm here .
182
00:17:23,084 --> 00:17:25,294
You mean while I'm here .
183
00:17:25,753 --> 00:17:29,465
I just want to know
the true versions of things:
184
00:17:29,632 --> 00:17:32,468
Events. Stories.
185
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:33,970
You .
186
00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:48,317
Your mother hasn't been
keeping up the pool .
187
00:17:48,484 --> 00:17:52,154
-If you wanted to , you could fi x it.
-Yeah , I will .
188
00:17:52,321 --> 00:17:55,574
-You know where the chemicals are?
-I did it when you were gone .
189
00:17:55,741 --> 00:18:01,747
I was never much for being
at home , Will . Too confining .
190
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:05,001
And this here , being stuck in bed . . . .
191
00:18:05,167 --> 00:18:08,671
Dying is the worst thing
that's ever happened to me .
192
00:18:09,630 --> 00:18:15,303
-I thought you said you weren't dying .
-I said this isn't how I go .
193
00:18:15,469 --> 00:18:19,348
The last part is much more unusual .
194
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:21,851
Trust me on that.
195
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:57,720
Dr. Bennett said I have
to stay at home for a week.
196
00:18:57,887 --> 00:19:01,599
Oh , that's nothing . Once ,
I had to stay in bed for three years .
197
00:19:01,766 --> 00:19:05,019
-Did you have the chickenpo x?
-I wish .
198
00:19:24,538 --> 00:19:27,249
Truth is, no one quite knew
what was wrong .
199
00:19:27,583 --> 00:19:30,086
Most times a person
grows up gradually . . .
200
00:19:30,252 --> 00:19:32,588
. . .while l found myself in a hurry .
201
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:40,012
My muscles and my bones couldn't
keep up with my body's ambition .
202
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:43,641
So l spent the better part
of three years confined to my bed . . .
203
00:19:43,808 --> 00:19:47,770
. . .with the encyclopaedia being
my only means of ex ploration .
204
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:49,939
l had made it all the way to the G's. . .
205
00:19:50,106 --> 00:19:52,983
. . . hoping to find an answer
to my "gigantificationism" . . .
206
00:19:53,150 --> 00:19:56,987
. . .when l uncovered an article
about the common goldfish .
207
00:19:57,196 --> 00:20:01,117
"Kept in a small bowl ,
the goldfish will remain small .
208
00:20:01,283 --> 00:20:02,618
With more space . . .
209
00:20:02,785 --> 00:20:06,622
. . .the fish will grow double , triple ,
or quadruple its size . "
210
00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:10,042
lt occurred to me then that perhaps
the reason for my growth . . .
211
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:12,753
. . .was that l was intended
for larger things.
212
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,465
After all , a giant man can't have
an ordinary-sized life .
213
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:21,303
As soon as my bones had settled
in their adult configuration . . .
214
00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:26,267
. . . l set upon my plan to make
a bigger place for myself in Ashton .
215
00:20:26,434 --> 00:20:27,685
Tigers, go!
216
00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:44,910
Edward Bloom !
217
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:31,790
Doggy ! My doggy !
My doggy's trapped !
218
00:21:40,341 --> 00:21:44,053
l was the biggest thing
Ashton had ever seen .
219
00:21:44,845 --> 00:21:47,848
Until one day , a stranger arrived .
220
00:22:03,072 --> 00:22:07,743
Calm down . Calm down , everybody .
Calm down . That's enough .
221
00:22:07,910 --> 00:22:11,664
-Mr. Mayor, he ate an entire corn field .
-He ate my dog .
222
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:14,416
If you ain't gonna stop him , mayor,
we will .
223
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:17,670
I won't have mob violence
in this town .
224
00:22:17,837 --> 00:22:19,755
Now, has someone tried
talking to him?
225
00:22:19,922 --> 00:22:22,591
-You can't reason with him .
-He's a monster.
226
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:24,552
I'll do it.
227
00:22:39,233 --> 00:22:41,569
I'll talk to him .
See if I can get him to go .
228
00:22:41,735 --> 00:22:44,113
That creature could crush you
without trying .
229
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,283
Oh , trust me , he'll have to try .
230
00:23:18,814 --> 00:23:20,316
Hello?
231
00:23:24,361 --> 00:23:27,906
My name is Edward Bloom ,
and I wanna talk to you !
232
00:23:28,699 --> 00:23:31,076
Go away !
233
00:23:32,995 --> 00:23:36,040
Now, I'm not going anywhere
until you show yourself!
234
00:23:36,206 --> 00:23:39,209
I said , go away !
235
00:23:59,605 --> 00:24:02,024
Armed with the foreknowledge
of my own death . . .
236
00:24:02,191 --> 00:24:04,360
. . . l knew the giant couldn't kill me .
237
00:24:06,654 --> 00:24:09,949
All the same , l preferred to keep
my bones unbroken .
238
00:24:10,115 --> 00:24:12,117
Why are you here?
239
00:24:13,410 --> 00:24:14,912
So you can eat me .
240
00:24:15,371 --> 00:24:19,333
The town decided to send
a human sacrifice and I volunteered .
241
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:23,087
My arms are a little stringy , but
there's some good eating in my legs .
242
00:24:23,253 --> 00:24:26,507
I mean , I'd be tempted
to eat them myself.
243
00:24:28,634 --> 00:24:30,719
So I guess, well . . . .
244
00:24:30,886 --> 00:24:35,182
If you'd just get it over with quick,
because I'm not much for pain , really .
245
00:24:47,653 --> 00:24:51,365
Oh , come on ! I can't go back !
I'm a human sacrifice !
246
00:24:51,532 --> 00:24:54,076
If I go back,
they'll think I'm a coward .
247
00:24:54,243 --> 00:24:56,829
I'd rather be dinner than a coward .
248
00:24:57,413 --> 00:24:58,664
Here .
249
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:02,251
You can start with my hand .
It'll be an appetizer.
250
00:25:02,418 --> 00:25:06,588
I don't want to eat you .
I don't want to eat anybody .
251
00:25:06,755 --> 00:25:10,884
I just get so hungry .
I'm just too big .
252
00:25:12,052 --> 00:25:14,847
Did you ever think that
maybe you're not too big . . .
253
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:17,141
. . . but maybe this town
is just too small?
254
00:25:17,307 --> 00:25:20,185
I've heard in real cities
there are buildings so tall . . .
255
00:25:20,352 --> 00:25:22,604
. . . you can't even see
the tops of them .
256
00:25:22,771 --> 00:25:25,274
-Really?
-Oh , I wouldn't lie to you .
257
00:25:25,441 --> 00:25:27,568
And all-you-can-eat buffets .
258
00:25:27,735 --> 00:25:30,738
-Now, you can eat a lot, can't you?
-I can .
259
00:25:30,904 --> 00:25:33,782
So why are you wasting your time
in a small town?
260
00:25:33,949 --> 00:25:37,077
You're a big man .
You should be in a big city .
261
00:25:37,244 --> 00:25:40,456
You're just trying to get me
to leave , aren't you?
262
00:25:40,748 --> 00:25:44,293
-What's your name , giant?
-Karl .
263
00:25:44,460 --> 00:25:47,880
Well , mine's Edward .
And truthfully . . . .
264
00:25:48,047 --> 00:25:51,884
Well , I do want you to leave , Karl .
But I want to leave with you .
265
00:25:52,050 --> 00:25:54,803
I mean , you think this town
is too small for you?
266
00:25:54,970 --> 00:25:58,098
Well , it's too small for a man
of my ambition .
267
00:25:58,265 --> 00:26:01,435
So , what do you say? Join me?
268
00:26:04,646 --> 00:26:05,856
Okay .
269
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:08,692
Okay .
270
00:26:08,984 --> 00:26:12,154
Now, first, we gotta
get you ready for the city .
271
00:26:28,921 --> 00:26:33,175
Edward Bloom , first son of Ashton . . .
272
00:26:33,342 --> 00:26:36,845
. . . it's with a heavy heart
that we see you go .
273
00:26:37,012 --> 00:26:39,681
But take with you
this key to the city . . .
274
00:26:39,848 --> 00:26:42,810
. . . and know that any time
you want to come back. . .
275
00:26:42,976 --> 00:26:46,021
. . . all our doors are open to you .
276
00:26:54,530 --> 00:26:58,575
That afternoon as l left Ashton,
everyone seemed to have advice .
277
00:26:58,742 --> 00:27:01,620
Find yourself a nice girl , now!
278
00:27:02,037 --> 00:27:05,040
Watch your pride , Edward Bloom !
279
00:27:05,249 --> 00:27:09,628
But there was one person whose
counsel l held above all others.
280
00:27:13,715 --> 00:27:16,426
She said that the biggest fish
in the river. . .
281
00:27:16,593 --> 00:27:19,763
. . .gets that way
by never being caught.
282
00:27:24,476 --> 00:27:27,855
-What'd she say?
-Beats me .
283
00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:41,535
There were two roads out of Ashton :
284
00:27:41,702 --> 00:27:44,580
A new one which was paved
and an older one that wasn't.
285
00:27:44,746 --> 00:27:46,748
People didn't use
the old one anymore . . .
286
00:27:46,915 --> 00:27:49,751
. . . and it had developed a reputation
for being haunted .
287
00:27:49,918 --> 00:27:53,088
Well , since l had no intention
of ever returning to Ashton . . .
288
00:27:53,255 --> 00:27:57,426
. . .this seemed as good a time as any
to find out what lay down that oId one .
289
00:27:57,593 --> 00:28:02,347
-You know anyone who's taken it?
-That poet, Norther Winslow, did .
290
00:28:02,806 --> 00:28:05,267
He was going to Paris, France .
291
00:28:05,434 --> 00:28:08,896
I guess he liked it.
No one ever heard from him again .
292
00:28:09,104 --> 00:28:11,273
I'll tell you what.
You go the other way .
293
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,985
I'll cut through here ,
and I'll meet you on the far side .
294
00:28:16,195 --> 00:28:19,281
You're just trying to run away ,
aren't you?
295
00:28:20,991 --> 00:28:22,242
Here .
296
00:28:23,535 --> 00:28:26,622
J ust to be sure , you can take my pack.
297
00:29:05,827 --> 00:29:07,788
Why , you son of a--
298
00:29:33,730 --> 00:29:36,358
Now, there comes a point
when a reasonable man . . .
299
00:29:36,525 --> 00:29:41,279
. . .will swallow his pride and admit
that he's made a terrible mistake.
300
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:46,368
The truth is,
l was never a reasonable man .
301
00:29:47,536 --> 00:29:50,247
And what l recall of
Sunday school was that. . .
302
00:29:50,414 --> 00:29:55,544
. . .the more difficult something is,
the more rewarding it is in the end .
303
00:30:54,770 --> 00:30:57,564
Friend ! Welcome to you !
304
00:30:57,981 --> 00:31:00,984
-What's your name?
-Edward Bloom .
305
00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:05,197
-"Bloom" like a flower?
-Yes .
306
00:31:05,364 --> 00:31:09,534
Oh , here ! Here you are , right here .
"Edward Bloom . "
307
00:31:09,701 --> 00:31:12,037
We weren't e xpecting you yet.
308
00:31:12,204 --> 00:31:14,289
-You were e xpecting me?
-Not yet.
309
00:31:14,456 --> 00:31:19,127
-You must've taken a shortcut.
-Why , yes, I did . It almost killed me .
310
00:31:19,628 --> 00:31:23,799
Life will do that to you .
And truthfully , the long way is easier.
311
00:31:24,216 --> 00:31:27,094
-But it's longer.
-Much longer.
312
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:30,180
And you're here now,
and that's what matters .
313
00:31:30,347 --> 00:31:31,598
What is this place?
314
00:31:31,765 --> 00:31:35,018
The town of Spectre .
Best-kept secret in Alabama !
315
00:31:35,185 --> 00:31:38,563
Now, it says here
you're from Ashton , right?
316
00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:42,067
Last person we had from Ashton
was Norther Winslow.
317
00:31:42,234 --> 00:31:44,152
The poet?
Whatever happened to him?
318
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:48,698
He's still here . Let me buy you a drink.
I'll tell you all about it.
319
00:31:48,865 --> 00:31:50,826
Hell , I'll have him tell you !
320
00:31:50,992 --> 00:31:54,121
I have to meet somebody ,
and I'm already running late .
321
00:31:54,287 --> 00:31:58,166
Now, son , I already told you .
You're early .
322
00:32:32,701 --> 00:32:35,829
Now, tell me if that isn't
the best pie you ever ate .
323
00:32:35,996 --> 00:32:37,706
It truly is .
324
00:32:42,043 --> 00:32:45,964
Well , everything tastes better here .
Even the water is sweet.
325
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:51,720
Never gets too hot,
too cold , too humid .
326
00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:55,432
At night, the wind goes through
the trees where you'd swear. . .
327
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:58,977
. . .there was a whole symphony
out there playing just for you .
328
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,982
Hey ! Jenny !
329
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:06,776
Come back here !
330
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:13,909
Jenny !
331
00:33:29,466 --> 00:33:31,259
Hey , I need those .
332
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,096
-There is no softer ground than town .
-That almost rhymes .
333
00:33:35,263 --> 00:33:37,766
He's our poet laureate . Come on .
334
00:33:41,311 --> 00:33:44,814
l agreed to spend the afternoon ,
if only to understand . . .
335
00:33:44,981 --> 00:33:49,861
. . .the mystery of how a place could
feel so strange and yet so familiar.
336
00:33:53,782 --> 00:33:56,326
I've been working on this poem
for 1 2 years .
337
00:33:56,493 --> 00:33:58,119
Really?
338
00:33:58,286 --> 00:34:03,083
There's a lot of e xpectation .
I don't wanna disappoint my fans .
339
00:34:03,959 --> 00:34:05,627
May I?
340
00:34:25,897 --> 00:34:27,566
It's only three lines long .
341
00:34:30,902 --> 00:34:34,155
This is why you should never show
a work in progress .
342
00:35:29,836 --> 00:35:31,796
I got him !
343
00:35:47,395 --> 00:35:49,064
There's leeches in there .
344
00:35:50,023 --> 00:35:53,068
-Did you see that woman?
-What did she look like?
345
00:35:53,234 --> 00:35:56,696
-Well , she was . . . .
-Was she naked?
346
00:35:59,032 --> 00:36:00,575
Yes , she was .
347
00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:04,996
It's not a woman . It's a fish .
No one ever catches her.
348
00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:07,665
Fish looks different
to different people .
349
00:36:07,957 --> 00:36:11,753
My daddy said it looked like the
coon dog he had when he was a kid . . .
350
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:14,673
. . . back from the dead .
351
00:36:18,093 --> 00:36:19,928
Oh , darn .
352
00:36:21,888 --> 00:36:24,099
-How old are you?
-Eighteen .
353
00:36:24,265 --> 00:36:28,186
I'm 8 . That means when I'm 1 8 ,
you'll be 28 .
354
00:36:28,353 --> 00:36:33,108
-And when I'm 28 , you'll only be 38 .
-You're pretty good at arithmetic.
355
00:36:33,274 --> 00:36:37,779
And when I'm 38 , you'll be 48 .
That's not much difference at all .
356
00:36:37,946 --> 00:36:40,782
Sure is a lot now, though , huh?
357
00:37:14,524 --> 00:37:17,152
Hey , Edward !
358
00:37:25,994 --> 00:37:30,081
Roses are red
Violets are blue
359
00:37:30,248 --> 00:37:32,792
l love Spectre . . . .
360
00:37:38,506 --> 00:37:40,508
E xcuse me .
361
00:37:46,681 --> 00:37:50,143
Jenny thinks you're quite a catch .
We all do .
362
00:37:50,977 --> 00:37:52,312
What?
363
00:37:52,479 --> 00:37:55,690
I said , you're quite a catch .
364
00:38:17,962 --> 00:38:19,714
I have to leave .
365
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,136
Tonight.
366
00:38:25,595 --> 00:38:26,888
Why?
367
00:38:28,223 --> 00:38:30,767
This town is more than any man
could ask for.
368
00:38:30,934 --> 00:38:34,479
And if I were to end up here ,
I would consider myself lucky .
369
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:38,566
But the truth is, I'm just not ready
to end up anywhere .
370
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:40,860
But no one's ever left.
371
00:38:42,070 --> 00:38:45,406
How are you gonna make it
without your shoes?
372
00:38:45,573 --> 00:38:48,243
Well , I suspect it will hurt. A lot.
373
00:38:52,163 --> 00:38:54,833
Now, I'm sorry , but. . . .
Well , goodbye .
374
00:38:58,503 --> 00:39:02,173
-You won't find a better place .
-I don't e xpect to .
375
00:39:07,303 --> 00:39:09,347
Promise me you'll come back.
376
00:39:10,807 --> 00:39:15,603
I promise . Someday .
When I'm really supposed to .
377
00:39:46,593 --> 00:39:49,429
That night,
l reached two conclusions.
378
00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:55,268
The first was that a dangerous path
is made much worse by darkness.
379
00:39:55,435 --> 00:40:00,148
The second was that l was
hopelessly and irrevocably lost.
380
00:40:00,732 --> 00:40:03,735
These woods would become
my graveyard .
381
00:40:05,987 --> 00:40:10,867
As difficult as it was to reach Spectre ,
l was fated to get there eventuaIIy .
382
00:40:11,034 --> 00:40:14,454
After all , no man can avoid
reaching the end of his life .
383
00:40:29,093 --> 00:40:33,348
And then l realized
this wasn't the end of my life .
384
00:40:33,514 --> 00:40:36,517
This isn't how I die .
385
00:40:54,035 --> 00:40:55,370
Friend .
386
00:40:55,536 --> 00:40:59,457
-What happened to your shoes?
-They kind of got ahead of me .
387
00:41:16,391 --> 00:41:19,394
I don't know if you saw it,
but Josephine had some photos . . .
388
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,145
. . . in the most recent Newsweek.
389
00:41:23,690 --> 00:41:25,191
Really?
390
00:41:25,358 --> 00:41:26,693
That's just wonderful .
391
00:41:28,528 --> 00:41:33,032
I spent a week in Morocco
for the story . It was incredible .
392
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:37,662
Oh . We'll have to pick up a copy .
393
00:41:48,005 --> 00:41:51,092
I don't know if you're aware of this ,
Josephine . . .
394
00:41:51,551 --> 00:41:56,723
. . . but African parrots , in their native
Congo , they speak only French .
395
00:41:57,807 --> 00:41:59,100
Really?
396
00:41:59,684 --> 00:42:02,979
You're lucky to get four words
out of them in English .
397
00:42:03,146 --> 00:42:06,065
But if you were to walk
through the jungle . . .
398
00:42:06,232 --> 00:42:09,944
. . . you'd hear them speaking
the most elaborate French .
399
00:42:10,611 --> 00:42:15,783
Those parrots talk about everything .
Politics, movies, fashion .
400
00:42:15,950 --> 00:42:18,619
Everything but religion .
401
00:42:19,746 --> 00:42:21,080
Why not religion , Dad?
402
00:42:21,789 --> 00:42:26,461
It's rude to talk about religion . You
never know who you're gonna offend .
403
00:42:31,799 --> 00:42:34,969
Josephine actually went
to the Congo last year.
404
00:42:36,637 --> 00:42:38,681
Oh , so you know.
405
00:42:54,322 --> 00:42:56,783
Hello .
406
00:42:56,949 --> 00:42:59,327
H i . How are you feeling?
407
00:43:00,286 --> 00:43:03,623
Oh , I was dreaming .
408
00:43:04,165 --> 00:43:06,667
What were you dreaming about?
409
00:43:07,710 --> 00:43:10,755
Oh , I don't usually remember. . .
410
00:43:10,922 --> 00:43:15,259
. . . unless they're especially portentous .
Do you know what that word means?
411
00:43:15,551 --> 00:43:18,679
It means when you dream about
something that's gonna happen .
412
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:21,933
Like one night, I had a dream . . .
413
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:26,854
. . .where this crow came and said :
414
00:43:27,021 --> 00:43:29,524
"Your aunt is gonna die . "
415
00:43:30,691 --> 00:43:33,945
I was so scared ,
I woke up my parents . . .
416
00:43:34,111 --> 00:43:38,366
. . . but they said it was just a dream
and to get back to bed .
417
00:43:38,533 --> 00:43:42,036
But the ne xt morning ,
my Aunt Stacy was dead .
418
00:43:42,370 --> 00:43:44,372
That's terrible .
419
00:43:44,539 --> 00:43:49,669
Terrible for her, but think about me ,
young boy with that kind of power.
420
00:43:50,211 --> 00:43:54,966
Wasn't three weeks later when the
crow came back to me in a dream . . .
421
00:43:55,133 --> 00:43:59,846
. . . and said , "Your daddy's gonna die . "
422
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,723
I didn't know what to do .
423
00:44:03,099 --> 00:44:06,769
I finally told my father, but he said :
424
00:44:06,936 --> 00:44:12,775
"Oh , not to worry . "
But I could see he was rattled .
425
00:44:12,942 --> 00:44:15,778
The ne xt morning , he wasn't himself.
426
00:44:15,945 --> 00:44:20,575
Kept looking around , waiting for
something to drop on his head .
427
00:44:20,741 --> 00:44:25,830
Because the crow didn't say how it
was gonna happen , just those words:
428
00:44:25,997 --> 00:44:28,249
"Your daddy's gonna die . "
429
00:44:28,833 --> 00:44:34,755
Well , he left home early
and was gone a long time .
430
00:44:34,922 --> 00:44:37,633
When he finally came back,
he looked terrible . . .
431
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,095
. . . like he was waiting
for the a xe to fall all day .
432
00:44:42,096 --> 00:44:43,890
He said to my mother:
433
00:44:44,056 --> 00:44:47,810
"I've just had the worst day of my life . "
434
00:44:47,977 --> 00:44:51,981
"You think you've had a bad day?"
she said .
435
00:44:52,148 --> 00:44:57,278
"This morning , the milkman
dropped dead on the porch . "
436
00:44:59,447 --> 00:45:03,618
Because , see , my mother
was banging the milkman .
437
00:45:05,453 --> 00:45:10,124
-Can I take your picture?
-Oh , you don't need a picture .
438
00:45:10,291 --> 00:45:14,462
J ust look up the word "handsome"
in the dictionary .
439
00:45:14,629 --> 00:45:15,963
Please?
440
00:45:17,632 --> 00:45:19,091
All right.
441
00:45:22,470 --> 00:45:24,555
I have photos of the wedding
to show you .
442
00:45:24,722 --> 00:45:27,141
There is a great one
of you and my father.
443
00:45:33,481 --> 00:45:38,152
I want to see pictures of your wedding .
I've never seen any .
444
00:45:38,319 --> 00:45:41,739
That's because we didn't have
a proper wedding .
445
00:45:41,906 --> 00:45:45,326
Your mother-in-law was
never supposed to marry me .
446
00:45:45,493 --> 00:45:49,330
-She was engaged to somebody else .
-I never knew.
447
00:45:49,497 --> 00:45:52,083
Will never told you?
448
00:45:52,667 --> 00:45:55,127
Probably just as well .
449
00:45:55,294 --> 00:45:57,922
He would have told it wrong , anyway .
450
00:45:58,089 --> 00:46:01,300
All the facts , none of the flavour.
451
00:46:01,467 --> 00:46:05,137
Oh . So this is a tall tale .
452
00:46:06,013 --> 00:46:09,475
Well , it's not a short one .
453
00:46:12,144 --> 00:46:16,857
l'd just left Spectre and was
on my way to discover my destiny .
454
00:46:17,024 --> 00:46:19,819
Not knowing what
that would be exactly . . .
455
00:46:19,986 --> 00:46:24,907
. . . l ex plored every opportunity
that presented itself.
456
00:46:53,769 --> 00:46:58,065
Coco ! Coco ! There they are .
457
00:46:59,316 --> 00:47:02,737
Ladies and gentlemen !
458
00:47:02,903 --> 00:47:06,657
You may think
you've seen the unusual .
459
00:47:07,491 --> 00:47:11,829
You may think you've seen the bizarre .
460
00:47:13,164 --> 00:47:18,002
But I've travelled
to the five corners of the world . . .
461
00:47:18,377 --> 00:47:24,884
. . . and let me tell you ,
I've never seen anything like this !
462
00:47:30,306 --> 00:47:32,349
When I met this man . . .
463
00:47:32,516 --> 00:47:35,227
. . . he was picking oranges in Florida.
464
00:47:35,394 --> 00:47:39,440
H is fellow workers called him
El Penumbra. "The Shadow. "
465
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,778
Because when you worked
beside him . . .
466
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,614
. . . he blocked out the daylight!
467
00:47:47,281 --> 00:47:51,368
Not to alarm you , ma'am ,
but if this man wanted to . . .
468
00:47:51,535 --> 00:47:55,998
. . . he could crush your head
between his toes . . .
469
00:47:56,165 --> 00:47:59,710
. . . like a tiny walnut.
But he won't do it.
470
00:47:59,877 --> 00:48:02,463
No . No , ladies and gentlemen . . .
471
00:48:02,630 --> 00:48:04,757
. . . he will not hurt her. . .
472
00:48:05,049 --> 00:48:08,636
. . . because he is our own gentle giant.
473
00:48:09,970 --> 00:48:16,143
Ladies and gentlemen ,
I give you Colossus !
474
00:49:40,686 --> 00:49:44,315
Ladies and gentlemen ,
boys and girls . . .
475
00:49:44,481 --> 00:49:46,859
. . .thank y'all for coming .
476
00:49:47,026 --> 00:49:50,571
Drive home safely , everyone .
Thank you for coming .
477
00:49:51,071 --> 00:49:54,742
lt was on that night
Karl met his destiny .
478
00:49:55,034 --> 00:49:58,412
And l met mine , almost.
479
00:49:58,579 --> 00:50:03,417
They say when you meet
the love of your life , time stops.
480
00:50:03,584 --> 00:50:05,085
And that's true.
481
00:50:50,297 --> 00:50:53,425
What they don't tell you
is that once time starts again . . .
482
00:50:54,134 --> 00:50:57,930
. . . it moves extra fast to catch up .
483
00:51:30,796 --> 00:51:32,172
What's your name?
484
00:51:33,090 --> 00:51:37,386
-It's Karl .
-Karl .
485
00:51:42,850 --> 00:51:48,397
Tell me , Karl , have you ever heard
the term "involuntary servitude"?
486
00:51:48,564 --> 00:51:51,442
-No .
-"U nconscionable contract"?
487
00:51:53,610 --> 00:51:56,488
-Nope .
-Great.
488
00:51:56,655 --> 00:51:58,699
Here you go .
489
00:51:59,867 --> 00:52:01,535
Here you are .
490
00:52:04,788 --> 00:52:07,541
Mr. Soggybottom ,
come down this here . . .
491
00:52:07,708 --> 00:52:10,044
. . . so he can use your back
to sign on it.
492
00:52:22,181 --> 00:52:25,059
Okay . Thank you . Yeah .
493
00:52:26,352 --> 00:52:28,270
Hey , kid .
494
00:52:28,437 --> 00:52:31,815
-Your friend just made himself a star.
-Oh , that's great.
495
00:52:34,109 --> 00:52:36,779
-My attorney , Mr. Soggybottom .
-Good to meet you .
496
00:52:36,945 --> 00:52:38,614
Pleased to meet you .
497
00:52:43,744 --> 00:52:46,830
What's the matter? I haven't
seen a customer so depressed . . .
498
00:52:46,997 --> 00:52:50,250
. . . since the elephant sat
on that farmer's wife .
499
00:52:51,502 --> 00:52:53,670
"Depressed"?
500
00:52:55,255 --> 00:52:57,716
See? The big guy likes it.
501
00:52:58,509 --> 00:53:00,594
I just saw the woman I'm gonna marry .
502
00:53:00,761 --> 00:53:03,889
I know it. But I lost her.
503
00:53:04,973 --> 00:53:06,308
Oh , tough break.
504
00:53:06,475 --> 00:53:10,354
Well , most men have to get married
before they lose their wives .
505
00:53:10,521 --> 00:53:15,609
I'm gonna spend the rest of my life
looking for her. That or die alone .
506
00:53:15,984 --> 00:53:17,861
Damn , kid .
507
00:53:21,115 --> 00:53:23,450
Let me guess . Real pretty?
508
00:53:24,785 --> 00:53:26,620
Reddish-blondish hair?
509
00:53:28,414 --> 00:53:29,790
Blue dress?
510
00:53:31,125 --> 00:53:32,793
Yeah !
511
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,963
I know her uncle . Friends of the family .
512
00:53:36,130 --> 00:53:38,257
Who is she? Where does she live?
513
00:53:38,424 --> 00:53:41,301
Forget it. Don't waste your time .
She's out of your league .
514
00:53:41,468 --> 00:53:44,972
-What? You don't even know me .
-Sure I do .
515
00:53:45,139 --> 00:53:49,601
You were hot shit back in H ickville , but
here in the real world , you got squat.
516
00:53:49,768 --> 00:53:51,687
You don't have a plan or a job .
517
00:53:51,854 --> 00:53:54,314
Nothing e xcept the clothes
on your back.
518
00:53:54,815 --> 00:53:57,693
Well , I have a whole backpack
full of clothes .
519
00:53:58,819 --> 00:54:01,613
Oh , someone stole my backpack.
520
00:54:02,364 --> 00:54:06,326
You were a big fish in a small pond ,
but this here is the ocean . . .
521
00:54:06,493 --> 00:54:09,079
. . . and you're drowning .
Go back to Puddleville .
522
00:54:09,246 --> 00:54:12,666
-You'll be happy there .
-You say I don't have a plan . I do .
523
00:54:12,833 --> 00:54:16,462
I'll find that girl , marry her,
and spend the rest of my life with her.
524
00:54:17,004 --> 00:54:20,716
I don't have a job , but I would
have a job if you gave me one .
525
00:54:20,883 --> 00:54:22,926
And I may not have much . . .
526
00:54:23,093 --> 00:54:26,805
. . . but I have more determination
than any man you're likely to meet.
527
00:54:29,016 --> 00:54:32,686
I'm sorry , kid . I don't do charity .
Come on , big boy .
528
00:54:33,687 --> 00:54:36,064
Wait. Look, I'll work
night and day for you . . .
529
00:54:36,231 --> 00:54:38,025
. . . and you won't have to pay me .
530
00:54:40,027 --> 00:54:43,030
You just have to tell me who she is .
531
00:54:46,533 --> 00:54:48,535
Every month you work for me . . .
532
00:54:48,702 --> 00:54:52,122
. . . I'll tell you one thing about her.
That's my final offer.
533
00:54:56,043 --> 00:54:58,295
Let's get started .
534
00:55:11,350 --> 00:55:15,354
From that moment on , l did everything
Mr. Calloway asked .
535
00:55:15,646 --> 00:55:18,607
l'd go three days
without stopping to eat.
536
00:55:18,774 --> 00:55:21,401
And four days without sleeping .
537
00:55:21,568 --> 00:55:24,446
What kept me going was
the promise of meeting the girl . . .
538
00:55:24,613 --> 00:55:25,906
. . .who would be my wife .
539
00:55:33,580 --> 00:55:36,041
Stick together, that's the way
it's gonna be .
540
00:55:36,208 --> 00:55:40,087
-The way it was, and the way it will be .
-Mr. Calloway , sir?
541
00:55:40,254 --> 00:55:42,047
It's been a month today .
542
00:55:43,966 --> 00:55:47,219
This girl , the love of your life . . .
543
00:55:47,386 --> 00:55:52,349
. . . her favourite flowers are daffodils.
544
00:55:53,350 --> 00:55:57,729
-So get that stuff. . . .
-Daffodils .
545
00:55:58,438 --> 00:56:00,858
Daffodils .
546
00:56:02,442 --> 00:56:04,695
Daffodils .
547
00:56:10,784 --> 00:56:12,327
True to his word . . .
548
00:56:12,494 --> 00:56:15,289
. . .every month Amos would tell me
something new . . .
549
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:17,791
. . . about the woman of my dreams.
550
00:56:17,958 --> 00:56:20,919
Enjoy yourselves , enjoy yourselves .
551
00:56:21,086 --> 00:56:22,588
She's going to college .
552
00:56:22,963 --> 00:56:27,259
College . She's going to college .
553
00:56:37,811 --> 00:56:39,271
She likes music.
554
00:56:39,980 --> 00:56:43,734
Music. She likes music.
555
00:56:47,988 --> 00:56:52,284
Over the months, l learned a lot
about the woman l would marry . . .
556
00:56:52,451 --> 00:56:55,787
. . . but not her name ,
and not where to find her.
557
00:56:55,954 --> 00:57:00,709
That time had come .
l couldn't wait any longer.
558
00:57:12,012 --> 00:57:14,306
Mr. Calloway?
559
00:57:16,350 --> 00:57:19,645
It's Edward Bloom .
I need to talk to you .
560
00:57:23,899 --> 00:57:26,318
Mr. Calloway?
561
00:58:00,102 --> 00:58:01,478
No . Wait!
562
00:58:19,579 --> 00:58:24,209
That night, l discovered that most
things you consider evil or wicked . . .
563
00:58:24,376 --> 00:58:28,255
. . . are simply lonely and lacking
in social niceties.
564
00:59:02,664 --> 00:59:04,791
Didn't kill anything , did I?
565
00:59:05,751 --> 00:59:10,213
A few rabbits. But I think one of them
was already dead .
566
00:59:13,425 --> 00:59:16,470
That would e xplain the indigestion .
567
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:25,562
Thank you .
568
00:59:27,564 --> 00:59:29,733
I was wrong about you , kid .
569
00:59:29,900 --> 00:59:33,320
You may not have much ,
but what you got, you got a lot of.
570
00:59:33,653 --> 00:59:36,114
You could get any girl .
571
00:59:36,281 --> 00:59:38,283
There's only one I want.
572
00:59:42,996 --> 00:59:44,331
Her name . . .
573
00:59:47,667 --> 00:59:49,836
. . . is Sandra Templeton .
574
00:59:51,922 --> 00:59:54,591
She goes to Auburn .
575
00:59:55,008 --> 00:59:59,346
Semester's almost over,
so you better hurry .
576
00:59:59,513 --> 01:00:01,264
Thank you . Thank you .
577
01:00:01,848 --> 01:00:04,351
-Good luck, kid !
-Thank you , sir!
578
01:00:16,863 --> 01:00:19,491
-Bye , now.
-Bye , Edward .
579
01:00:20,867 --> 01:00:24,287
After saying my goodbyes,
l hopped three trains. . .
580
01:00:24,454 --> 01:00:27,874
. . .to get to Auburn that afternoon .
581
01:01:03,034 --> 01:01:06,705
You don't know me ,
but my name is Edward Bloom . . .
582
01:01:06,872 --> 01:01:08,248
. . . and I love you .
583
01:01:10,125 --> 01:01:13,879
I've spent the last three years
working to find out who you are .
584
01:01:14,045 --> 01:01:18,341
I've been shot, stabbed , and trampled
a few times . I broke my ribs twice .
585
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,845
But it's all been worth it
to see you here now. . .
586
01:01:22,012 --> 01:01:24,973
. . . and to finally get to talk to you .
587
01:01:25,140 --> 01:01:27,517
Because I'm destined to marry you .
588
01:01:28,393 --> 01:01:33,732
I knew it when I saw you at the circus ,
and I know it now more than ever.
589
01:01:35,901 --> 01:01:39,279
-I'm sorry .
-You don't have to apologise to me .
590
01:01:39,446 --> 01:01:41,781
I'm the luckiest person
you'll find today .
591
01:01:41,948 --> 01:01:45,118
No , I'm sorry I'm engaged
to be married .
592
01:01:52,292 --> 01:01:55,462
But you're wrong . I do know you .
593
01:01:55,629 --> 01:01:57,589
At least by reputation .
594
01:01:58,506 --> 01:02:00,926
Edward Bloom from Ashton .
595
01:02:01,468 --> 01:02:05,805
See , I'm actually engaged
to a boy from Ashton . Don Price .
596
01:02:06,514 --> 01:02:09,059
He was a few years older than you .
597
01:02:19,694 --> 01:02:21,571
Well . . . .
598
01:02:23,698 --> 01:02:25,241
Congratulations.
599
01:02:28,495 --> 01:02:30,997
I'm sorry to have bothered you .
600
01:02:35,961 --> 01:02:39,047
Stop it! It's not funny .
601
01:02:39,756 --> 01:02:42,217
That poor boy .
602
01:02:42,842 --> 01:02:46,012
Fate has a cruel way
of circling around on you .
603
01:02:46,179 --> 01:02:48,265
After all this work to leave Ashton . . .
604
01:02:48,431 --> 01:02:53,895
. . .the girl l love was now engaged
to one of its biggest jerks.
605
01:02:54,062 --> 01:02:56,314
There's a time when a man
needs to fight. . .
606
01:02:56,481 --> 01:02:59,943
. . . and a time when he needs to accept
that his destiny's lost. . .
607
01:03:00,110 --> 01:03:04,197
. . .the ship has sailed,
and that only a fool will continue .
608
01:03:04,364 --> 01:03:07,701
Truth is, l've always been a fool .
609
01:03:08,702 --> 01:03:13,665
Sandra Templeton , I love you ,
and I will marry you !
610
01:03:18,003 --> 01:03:21,381
So as you can see , if we apply
these rules to our everyday life . . .
611
01:03:22,048 --> 01:03:24,801
. . . supply and demand
makes much more sense .
612
01:03:24,968 --> 01:03:29,014
Take a look at the ne xt graph , and the
import of this will be even stronger--
613
01:03:38,064 --> 01:03:40,734
--for three hours .
614
01:03:40,900 --> 01:03:42,777
Look !
615
01:04:13,308 --> 01:04:16,603
-Daffodils !
-They're your favourite flower.
616
01:04:16,770 --> 01:04:18,188
How did you get so many?
617
01:04:18,897 --> 01:04:21,066
I called everywhere in five states .
618
01:04:21,232 --> 01:04:24,194
I told them it was the only way
to get my wife to marry me .
619
01:04:26,404 --> 01:04:28,114
You don't even know me .
620
01:04:28,740 --> 01:04:31,201
I have the rest of my life to find out.
621
01:04:32,327 --> 01:04:33,995
Sandra !
622
01:04:35,872 --> 01:04:38,458
It's Don . Promise you won't hurt him .
623
01:04:38,625 --> 01:04:41,544
If that's what you want, I swear to it.
624
01:04:41,961 --> 01:04:44,422
-Bloom?
-Don .
625
01:04:45,215 --> 01:04:49,552
What the hell are you doing?
This is my girl . Mine !
626
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:52,305
I wasn't aware
that she belonged to anyone .
627
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,603
What's the matter?
Are you too scared to fight back?
628
01:04:58,770 --> 01:05:00,438
I promised I wouldn't.
629
01:05:01,648 --> 01:05:03,942
Stop it!
630
01:05:04,442 --> 01:05:05,735
Don , stop !
631
01:05:05,902 --> 01:05:11,324
While l took the beating of a lifetime ,
Don Price was ultimately defeated .
632
01:05:11,491 --> 01:05:16,246
All the physical activity had worsened
a congenital valve defect.
633
01:05:16,413 --> 01:05:18,581
Put simply , his heart
wasn't strong enough .
634
01:05:31,177 --> 01:05:33,638
Don ! I will never marry you .
635
01:05:34,514 --> 01:05:37,225
What?
You mean , you love this guy?
636
01:05:37,433 --> 01:05:40,562
He's almost a stranger,
and I prefer him to you .
637
01:06:08,756 --> 01:06:14,137
As it turned out, Sandra was able to
keep her same date at the chapel .
638
01:06:14,304 --> 01:06:17,515
Only the groom had changed .
639
01:06:18,475 --> 01:06:22,520
I thought you said you didn't
have a church wedding .
640
01:06:22,687 --> 01:06:25,773
We were all set to ,
but there was a complication .
641
01:06:29,611 --> 01:06:33,364
Is it the medicine
that's making you thirsty?
642
01:06:33,948 --> 01:06:37,494
Truth is ,
I've been thirsty my whole life .
643
01:06:38,620 --> 01:06:41,164
Never really known why .
644
01:06:41,956 --> 01:06:44,584
There was a time when I was 1 1 . . . .
645
01:06:44,751 --> 01:06:46,711
You were talking about your wedding .
646
01:06:46,878 --> 01:06:50,798
I didn't forget.
I was just working on a tangent.
647
01:06:50,965 --> 01:06:54,636
You see , most men , they'll tell you
a story straight through .
648
01:06:54,802 --> 01:06:58,848
It won't be complicated ,
but it won't be interesting , either.
649
01:06:59,015 --> 01:07:00,683
I like your stories .
650
01:07:00,850 --> 01:07:02,477
And I like you .
651
01:07:02,644 --> 01:07:07,106
Well , when you work for the circus,
you don't have a regular address .
652
01:07:07,273 --> 01:07:10,443
So after three years,
there was a lot of undelivered mail .
653
01:07:11,402 --> 01:07:14,113
During the four weeks
I was in the hospital . . .
654
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:16,950
. . .the postmaster
finally caught up with me .
655
01:07:17,116 --> 01:07:20,620
And it seems that while my heart
belonged to Sandra. . .
656
01:07:20,787 --> 01:07:26,459
. . .the rest of my body belonged
to the U . S . government.
657
01:07:43,434 --> 01:07:47,105
A hitch in the Army was up to
three years at that point. . .
658
01:07:47,272 --> 01:07:50,316
. . . and having waited three years
just to meet Sandra. . .
659
01:07:50,483 --> 01:07:54,445
. . . I knew I couldn't survive
being away from her that long .
660
01:07:54,612 --> 01:07:57,740
So I took every hazardous
assignment I could find . . .
661
01:07:57,907 --> 01:08:02,245
. . .with the hope of getting
my time down to less than a year.
662
01:08:02,412 --> 01:08:04,956
Go ! Go !
663
01:08:07,500 --> 01:08:09,585
When I was offered
a secret mission . . .
664
01:08:09,752 --> 01:08:13,715
. . .to steal the plans for
the Wong Kai Tang power plant. . .
665
01:08:13,881 --> 01:08:17,010
. . . I jumped at the chance
to serve my country .
666
01:08:20,096 --> 01:08:22,682
Go ! Go !
667
01:10:18,005 --> 01:10:20,466
Any of you got needs?
668
01:12:06,405 --> 01:12:08,449
How could you miss your cue?
669
01:12:08,616 --> 01:12:12,578
You make me look like a fool
out there alone .
670
01:12:12,912 --> 01:12:14,455
You weren't alone !
671
01:12:16,624 --> 01:12:17,834
Who the hell are you?
672
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:19,836
I'm not going to hurt you .
673
01:12:20,002 --> 01:12:21,003
Damn right you're not.
674
01:12:21,170 --> 01:12:22,171
G UARD !
675
01:12:24,006 --> 01:12:25,675
Tell your men not to bother us !
676
01:12:25,841 --> 01:12:27,134
And close that curtain !
677
01:12:29,887 --> 01:12:32,014
Please , I need your help .
678
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,142
What makes you think we'll help you?
679
01:12:43,776 --> 01:12:48,865
Over the next hour, l described
my love for Sandra K. Templeton . . .
680
01:12:49,031 --> 01:12:51,951
. . . and the ordeal that brought me
before them.
681
01:12:52,118 --> 01:12:55,454
As it had always been ,
this love was my salvation .
682
01:12:55,621 --> 01:12:57,790
lt was destined to be.
683
01:12:57,957 --> 01:13:01,127
We put together an elaborate
plan for escape . . .
684
01:13:01,294 --> 01:13:03,546
. . . involving a whaling ship
to Russia . . .
685
01:13:03,713 --> 01:13:07,800
. . . a barge to Cuba,
and a small , dirty canoe to Miami .
686
01:13:07,967 --> 01:13:10,469
We all knew it would be dangerous.
687
01:13:11,679 --> 01:13:14,140
And what are we supposed to do
when we get to America?
688
01:13:14,932 --> 01:13:16,225
I can get you bookings .
689
01:13:16,392 --> 01:13:19,145
I know the biggest man
in show business .
690
01:13:20,271 --> 01:13:21,314
Bob Hope? !
691
01:13:21,647 --> 01:13:22,648
Bigger.
692
01:13:26,444 --> 01:13:27,445
Ready?
693
01:13:30,823 --> 01:13:34,702
And so the twins and l
began our arduous journey . . .
694
01:13:34,869 --> 01:13:36,829
. . . halfway around the world .
695
01:13:36,996 --> 01:13:41,334
Unfortunately , there was no way
to send a message back to America .
696
01:13:41,500 --> 01:13:45,504
And so it was no surprise
that the Army believed l was dead .
697
01:14:01,771 --> 01:14:04,315
No , God !
698
01:14:05,941 --> 01:14:10,321
After four months, Sandra had gotten
over the worst of the nightmares.
699
01:14:10,488 --> 01:14:14,909
When the phone rang, she didn't think
it was somehow me calling her.
700
01:14:15,076 --> 01:14:19,914
When a car drove past, she didn't
get up to check out the window .
701
01:14:54,990 --> 01:14:58,077
I talked with your father last night.
702
01:15:01,580 --> 01:15:04,583
You never told me
how your parents met.
703
01:15:04,750 --> 01:15:06,585
They met at Auburn .
704
01:15:06,752 --> 01:15:10,589
What about the details?
How they fell in love .
705
01:15:10,756 --> 01:15:12,717
The circus. The war.
706
01:15:12,883 --> 01:15:14,760
You never told me any of that.
707
01:15:14,927 --> 01:15:17,096
That's because most of it
never happened .
708
01:15:18,931 --> 01:15:21,183
But it's romantic.
709
01:15:24,603 --> 01:15:27,148
-What?
-What, I know better. . .
710
01:15:27,314 --> 01:15:30,484
. . .than to argue romance
with a French woman .
711
01:15:32,236 --> 01:15:34,238
Do you love your father?
712
01:15:34,405 --> 01:15:37,992
Everyone loves my father.
He's a very likeable guy .
713
01:15:39,368 --> 01:15:40,953
Do you love him?
714
01:15:46,083 --> 01:15:48,085
You have to understand .
715
01:15:48,252 --> 01:15:52,006
When I was growing up ,
he was gone more than he was there .
716
01:15:52,173 --> 01:15:56,135
And I started thinking maybe he's got
this second life somewhere else.
717
01:15:57,052 --> 01:15:59,805
Another family , another house .
718
01:15:59,972 --> 01:16:03,267
And he leaves us
and goes to them .
719
01:16:03,434 --> 01:16:05,061
Or, or. . . .
720
01:16:07,480 --> 01:16:11,567
Or maybe there is no second family .
Maybe he never wanted a family .
721
01:16:12,610 --> 01:16:17,198
Whatever it is, he likes his second life
better and he tells his stories . . .
722
01:16:17,364 --> 01:16:19,867
. . . because he can't stand
this boring place .
723
01:16:20,034 --> 01:16:23,162
-But it's not true .
-Well , what's true?
724
01:16:25,206 --> 01:16:28,000
He's never told me
a single true thing .
725
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:31,504
Look, hey . . . .
726
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,674
I know why you like him .
727
01:16:35,841 --> 01:16:38,636
I know why everyone likes him .
728
01:16:39,762 --> 01:16:43,057
But I need you to tell me
that I'm not crazy .
729
01:16:43,224 --> 01:16:46,143
Oh , you're not.
730
01:16:48,145 --> 01:16:50,856
And I think you should talk to him .
731
01:16:56,028 --> 01:16:59,198
Larry Puckett's Chevrolet
lets the customer do the talking .
732
01:16:59,365 --> 01:17:03,035
Larry Puckett's G M-certified vehicles
are under factory warranty .
733
01:17:03,202 --> 01:17:07,248
And you can save up to 40 percent
off the original M SRP .
734
01:17:07,414 --> 01:17:10,126
-Did I ever tell you about--?
-Yes .
735
01:17:11,377 --> 01:17:14,797
The maple tree and the Buick?
We've heard it.
736
01:17:17,216 --> 01:17:20,719
I know someone who hasn't.
737
01:17:20,886 --> 01:17:24,557
-The--
-Tree fell on the car, spilling the syrup .
738
01:17:24,723 --> 01:17:28,227
Which attracted the flies,
which got stuck to it. . .
739
01:17:28,394 --> 01:17:31,480
. . . and flew off with the whole car.
740
01:17:35,985 --> 01:17:39,446
But the real story
is how I got the car.
741
01:17:39,613 --> 01:17:41,323
-You see--
-Dad?
742
01:17:41,490 --> 01:17:42,950
Son .
743
01:17:43,117 --> 01:17:45,161
Can we talk?
744
01:17:47,580 --> 01:17:50,040
I think I'll get started
on these dishes .
745
01:17:50,207 --> 01:17:52,418
I'll help you .
746
01:18:07,933 --> 01:18:11,270
-You know about icebergs, Dad?
-Do I?
747
01:18:11,437 --> 01:18:13,898
I saw an iceberg once .
748
01:18:14,064 --> 01:18:17,359
They were hauling it down to Te xas
for drinking water.
749
01:18:17,526 --> 01:18:21,614
They didn't count on there being
an elephant frozen inside .
750
01:18:21,780 --> 01:18:24,575
-The woolly kind . A mammoth .
-Dad !
751
01:18:24,742 --> 01:18:26,702
What?
752
01:18:28,495 --> 01:18:30,706
I'm trying to make a metaphor here .
753
01:18:30,873 --> 01:18:33,584
Well , you shouldn't have started
with a question . . .
754
01:18:33,751 --> 01:18:36,045
. . . because people
want to answer questions .
755
01:18:36,211 --> 01:18:39,798
You should've started with ,
"The thing about icebergs is. . . . "
756
01:18:39,965 --> 01:18:43,427
Okay , okay . The thing about
icebergs is you only see 1 0 percent.
757
01:18:43,594 --> 01:18:46,972
The other 90 percent is below
the water where you can't see it.
758
01:18:47,139 --> 01:18:49,225
And that's . . .
759
01:18:49,391 --> 01:18:52,144
. . .what it is with you , Dad .
760
01:18:52,311 --> 01:18:55,064
I am only seeing this little bit. . .
761
01:18:55,230 --> 01:18:57,066
. . .that sticks above the water.
762
01:18:57,232 --> 01:19:00,402
Oh , you're only seeing down
to my nose? My chin? My--
763
01:19:00,569 --> 01:19:03,489
Dad , I have no idea who you are . . .
764
01:19:03,656 --> 01:19:06,909
. . . because you've never told me
a single fact.
765
01:19:07,076 --> 01:19:11,330
I've told you a thousand facts, Will .
That's what I do , I tell stories !
766
01:19:11,497 --> 01:19:14,750
You tell . . . lies, Dad .
767
01:19:14,917 --> 01:19:16,252
You tell amusing lies .
768
01:19:16,418 --> 01:19:19,505
Stories are what you tell
a 5-year-old at bedtime .
769
01:19:19,672 --> 01:19:22,549
They're not elaborate mythologies
that you maintain . . .
770
01:19:22,716 --> 01:19:25,177
. . .when your son is 1 0 and 1 5
and 20 and 30 .
771
01:19:25,344 --> 01:19:28,180
And I believed you .
772
01:19:29,974 --> 01:19:33,394
I believed your stories
so much longer than I should have .
773
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,689
Then when I realized
everything you said was impossible . . .
774
01:19:36,855 --> 01:19:39,066
. . . I felt like a fool
to have trusted you .
775
01:19:39,233 --> 01:19:41,527
You're like Santa Claus
and the Easter Bunny .
776
01:19:41,694 --> 01:19:43,529
J ust as charming and just as fake .
777
01:19:43,696 --> 01:19:45,906
You think I'm fake .
778
01:19:47,366 --> 01:19:51,537
Only on the surface , Dad .
But it's all I've ever seen .
779
01:19:53,289 --> 01:19:54,957
Look.
780
01:19:56,542 --> 01:19:58,961
I'm about to have . . .
781
01:19:59,461 --> 01:20:00,713
. . . a kid of my own .
782
01:20:00,879 --> 01:20:03,549
It would kill me
if he went through his whole life . . .
783
01:20:03,716 --> 01:20:05,801
. . . never understanding me .
784
01:20:05,968 --> 01:20:08,387
It would kill you , huh?
785
01:20:10,389 --> 01:20:13,892
What do you want, Will?
Who do you want me to be?
786
01:20:14,059 --> 01:20:15,728
J ust yourself.
787
01:20:15,894 --> 01:20:19,732
Good , bad , everything .
J ust show me who you are for once .
788
01:20:19,898 --> 01:20:22,985
I've been nothing but myself
since the day I was born .
789
01:20:23,152 --> 01:20:27,698
And if you can't see that,
it's your failing , not mine !
790
01:20:59,021 --> 01:21:03,609
Your father decided
that he needed to have an office . . .
791
01:21:03,776 --> 01:21:06,862
. . . and , of course , it wouldn't do
to have it in the house .
792
01:21:07,029 --> 01:21:08,572
So . . . .
793
01:21:10,199 --> 01:21:13,952
You'll know better than me
what's important.
794
01:21:25,255 --> 01:21:27,383
What is it?
795
01:21:28,801 --> 01:21:30,803
It was during the war.
796
01:21:30,969 --> 01:21:34,848
Your father went missing .
They thought he was dead .
797
01:21:36,058 --> 01:21:38,477
Oh , that really happened?
798
01:21:38,644 --> 01:21:42,398
Not everything your father says
is a complete fabrication .
799
01:21:43,732 --> 01:21:46,777
I think I'll go check on him .
800
01:21:48,946 --> 01:21:51,615
I need to lie down for a bit.
801
01:21:51,782 --> 01:21:54,409
Okay , go .
802
01:22:09,174 --> 01:22:13,971
After the war, the sons of Alabama
returned home , looking for work.
803
01:22:14,138 --> 01:22:15,889
Each had the advantage over me .
804
01:22:16,056 --> 01:22:19,643
They were alive ,
while l was officially deceased .
805
01:22:19,810 --> 01:22:21,562
With my prospects few . . .
806
01:22:21,728 --> 01:22:25,524
. . . l took a job as a travelling salesman .
lt suited me.
807
01:22:25,691 --> 01:22:28,861
lf there was one thing
you can say about Edward Bloom . . .
808
01:22:29,027 --> 01:22:31,238
. . . it's that l am a social person .
809
01:22:31,947 --> 01:22:35,367
-Congratulations.
-Thank you , sir.
810
01:22:36,034 --> 01:22:38,620
l could be gone
for weeks at a time.
811
01:22:38,787 --> 01:22:41,707
But every other Friday,
l put all the money l made . . .
812
01:22:41,874 --> 01:22:45,544
. . . into an account set aside
for a proper house . . .
813
01:22:45,711 --> 01:22:47,880
. . .with a white picket fence .
814
01:22:53,677 --> 01:22:57,222
I'd like a moment of your time
to tell you about my new product. . .
815
01:22:57,389 --> 01:22:59,725
. . .the Handi-matic.
816
01:23:15,199 --> 01:23:18,493
A few years later, l added
other products and other cities. . .
817
01:23:18,660 --> 01:23:22,247
. . . until my territory stretched from
the coast to western Texas.
818
01:23:47,105 --> 01:23:48,607
Edward?
819
01:23:48,774 --> 01:23:50,400
Edward Bloom !
820
01:23:50,567 --> 01:23:52,194
It's me , Norther Winslow.
821
01:23:52,361 --> 01:23:54,238
I don't believe it.
822
01:23:54,404 --> 01:23:58,700
l was astonished to see the greatest
poet of both Ashton and Spectre . . .
823
01:23:58,867 --> 01:24:00,786
. . . all the way out in Texas.
824
01:24:00,953 --> 01:24:04,790
I want you to know, when you left
Spectre , it opened my eyes.
825
01:24:04,957 --> 01:24:08,627
There was a whole life out there
that I was not living .
826
01:24:08,794 --> 01:24:10,295
So I travelled .
827
01:24:10,462 --> 01:24:13,632
I saw France , Africa,
half of South America.
828
01:24:13,799 --> 01:24:16,468
Every day , a new adventure .
That's my motto .
829
01:24:16,635 --> 01:24:18,804
That's great, Norther.
I'm happy for you .
830
01:24:18,971 --> 01:24:21,223
What are you doing now?
831
01:24:22,307 --> 01:24:23,976
I'm robbing this place .
832
01:24:27,980 --> 01:24:29,982
All right, everybody down !
833
01:24:31,441 --> 01:24:34,695
Hey !
J ust slide that over.
834
01:24:40,909 --> 01:24:43,662
-Would you mind grabbing that?
-What?
835
01:24:44,121 --> 01:24:45,622
The gun .
836
01:24:47,124 --> 01:24:49,543
I'm gonna be cleaning out
the cash drawers . . .
837
01:24:49,710 --> 01:24:53,922
. . . and my associate here
is gonna handle the vault.
838
01:24:59,928 --> 01:25:03,390
All right, you !
You help my friend , okay?
839
01:25:04,182 --> 01:25:05,851
Let's go !
840
01:25:25,537 --> 01:25:27,456
I'm sorry , ma'am .
I am .
841
01:25:27,622 --> 01:25:30,751
I really just don't want anyone
to get hurt.
842
01:25:30,917 --> 01:25:32,878
It's not that.
843
01:25:33,837 --> 01:25:35,756
It's just. . . .
844
01:25:41,219 --> 01:25:42,846
There's no money .
845
01:25:43,638 --> 01:25:47,517
We're completely bankrupt.
Don't tell anybody .
846
01:25:47,684 --> 01:25:51,688
lt turned out that the Savings & Loan
had already been robbed . . .
847
01:25:51,855 --> 01:25:56,360
. . . not by armed bandits, but
by speculators in Texas real estate .
848
01:25:56,526 --> 01:25:58,528
All right, let's go !
849
01:26:09,706 --> 01:26:11,750
Norther!
850
01:26:31,353 --> 01:26:34,106
Yeah ! There's gotta be
close to $400 here !
851
01:26:34,272 --> 01:26:36,775
And that's just from the drawers .
852
01:26:36,942 --> 01:26:39,444
Let's see what you got
from the vault.
853
01:26:49,329 --> 01:26:51,957
This is it? The whole vault?
854
01:26:52,124 --> 01:26:54,459
I'm afraid so .
855
01:26:57,212 --> 01:26:59,131
It's got your deposit slip on it.
856
01:26:59,297 --> 01:27:02,175
Well , I just didn't want you
leaving empty-handed .
857
01:27:02,342 --> 01:27:06,138
There's something you should know.
The reason they don't have money . . . .
858
01:27:06,304 --> 01:27:09,558
l told Norther about
the vagaries of Texas oil money . . .
859
01:27:09,725 --> 01:27:12,602
. . . and its effect on real-estate prices. . .
860
01:27:12,769 --> 01:27:15,939
. . . and how lax enforcement
of fiduciary process. . .
861
01:27:16,106 --> 01:27:19,901
. . . had made savings and loans
particularly vulnerable .
862
01:27:20,068 --> 01:27:24,865
Hearing this news,
Norther was left with one conclusion :
863
01:27:25,031 --> 01:27:28,243
I should go to Wall Street.
That's where all the money is.
864
01:27:28,410 --> 01:27:31,997
l knew then that while my days
as a criminal were over. . .
865
01:27:32,164 --> 01:27:33,457
Thanks for the hand !
866
01:27:33,623 --> 01:27:35,625
. . . Norther's were just beginning .
867
01:27:35,792 --> 01:27:38,211
When Norther made
his first million dollars. . .
868
01:27:38,378 --> 01:27:40,672
. . . he sent me a cheque for 1 0 , 000 .
869
01:27:40,839 --> 01:27:44,926
l protested , but he said it was my fee
as his career advisor.
870
01:27:45,093 --> 01:27:48,263
lt was enough to buy my wife
a proper house . . .
871
01:27:48,430 --> 01:27:50,515
. . .with a white picket fence .
872
01:27:50,682 --> 01:27:54,853
And for that, it was all the riches
a man could ever want.
873
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:30,680
I was drying out.
874
01:28:32,432 --> 01:28:34,351
I see .
875
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:40,732
I think we ought to get you
a plant mister. . .
876
01:28:40,899 --> 01:28:43,693
. . . so we can just spray you
like a fern .
877
01:29:09,594 --> 01:29:12,097
Come , now.
878
01:29:16,434 --> 01:29:19,813
I don't think I'll ever dry out.
879
01:30:17,996 --> 01:30:21,041
You carry on . I'll see . . . .
880
01:30:25,712 --> 01:30:27,505
Hello .
881
01:30:28,089 --> 01:30:32,010
-Are you Jennifer H ill?
-I am .
882
01:30:32,177 --> 01:30:34,346
And you're Will .
883
01:30:34,512 --> 01:30:37,515
I've seen a picture of you .
That's how I recognise you .
884
01:30:40,185 --> 01:30:42,854
Listen , Kenny ,
why don't we skip the lesson today?
885
01:30:43,021 --> 01:30:45,357
We can go again ne xt week.
886
01:30:45,523 --> 01:30:47,525
Do I have to give it back to my mom?
887
01:30:47,692 --> 01:30:50,278
Well , I won't tell her if you won't.
888
01:31:01,706 --> 01:31:03,208
How did you know my father?
889
01:31:03,583 --> 01:31:05,669
Well , this was on his sales route . . .
890
01:31:05,835 --> 01:31:09,881
. . . so he was through here all the time ,
and everyone in town knew him .
891
01:31:10,048 --> 01:31:12,133
Were you having an affair?
892
01:31:14,552 --> 01:31:16,972
Wow. Wow, you just said it.
893
01:31:17,764 --> 01:31:21,393
I was e xpecting to dance
around this for another half-hour.
894
01:31:23,228 --> 01:31:26,231
I've seen him with women .
He flirts . He always has .
895
01:31:26,398 --> 01:31:30,568
And on some level ,
I just presumed that he was . . .
896
01:31:30,735 --> 01:31:34,239
. . . cheating on my mom .
I just never had proof.
897
01:31:36,908 --> 01:31:38,827
Well , can I ask you a question?
898
01:31:38,994 --> 01:31:41,746
If you found this deed ,
why didn't you just ask Eddie?
899
01:31:42,872 --> 01:31:45,208
Because he's dying .
900
01:31:53,925 --> 01:31:58,596
Look, I don't know how much
you want to know about any of this .
901
01:31:58,763 --> 01:32:00,890
You have one image of your father. . .
902
01:32:01,057 --> 01:32:03,309
. . . and it'd be wrong of me
to change it. . .
903
01:32:03,476 --> 01:32:05,437
. . . especially this late in the game .
904
01:32:05,687 --> 01:32:08,064
My father talked about things
he never did . . .
905
01:32:08,231 --> 01:32:11,609
. . . and I'm sure he did a lot of things
that he never talked about.
906
01:32:11,776 --> 01:32:13,778
I'm just trying to reconcile the two .
907
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:20,326
The first thing
you have to understand . . .
908
01:32:20,493 --> 01:32:23,455
. . . is that your father
never meant to end up here .
909
01:32:24,039 --> 01:32:25,415
Yet he did .
910
01:32:25,623 --> 01:32:27,292
Twice .
911
01:32:27,834 --> 01:32:30,336
The first time , he was early .
912
01:32:30,503 --> 01:32:32,756
The second time , he was late .
913
01:32:34,841 --> 01:32:38,762
Those days, your father was working
for himself.
914
01:32:38,928 --> 01:32:41,848
lf there's one thing you could
say about Edward Bloom . . .
915
01:32:42,015 --> 01:32:47,020
. . . it's that he was a social person ,
and people took a liking to him .
916
01:32:47,187 --> 01:32:50,440
One night, he was returning
from three weeks on the road . . .
917
01:32:50,607 --> 01:32:54,319
. . .when he hit a thunderstorm
unlike any in his life .
918
01:34:42,594 --> 01:34:45,138
Fate has a way of circling back
on a man . . .
919
01:34:45,305 --> 01:34:47,432
. . . and taking him by surprise .
920
01:34:52,145 --> 01:34:55,815
A man sees things differently
at different times in his life .
921
01:34:55,982 --> 01:34:59,944
This town didn't seem the same
now that he was older.
922
01:35:01,112 --> 01:35:04,657
A new road had brought
the outside world to Spectre . . .
923
01:35:04,824 --> 01:35:07,952
. . . and with it, banks, liens and debt.
924
01:35:08,119 --> 01:35:12,957
Almost everywhere you looked ,
people were bankrupt.
925
01:35:14,250 --> 01:35:17,629
The auction today
is for the town of Spectre .
926
01:35:17,795 --> 01:35:20,506
-The opening bid will be $ 1 0 , 000 .
-So Edward Bloom . . .
927
01:35:20,673 --> 01:35:23,301
- . . .decided to buy the town .
-50 , 000 .
928
01:35:27,472 --> 01:35:30,683
-I couldn't believe my eyes--
-He was never a wealthy man . . .
929
01:35:30,850 --> 01:35:36,022
. . . but he had made other men rich ,
and now he asked for their favours.
930
01:35:37,941 --> 01:35:40,985
-I'm trying to save . . . .
-Most of them hadn't seen Spectre .
931
01:35:41,152 --> 01:35:44,364
They only had Edward's words
to describe it.
932
01:35:44,530 --> 01:35:47,825
That's all he needed .
He sold them on the dream.
933
01:35:48,243 --> 01:35:50,745
So first he bought the farms.
934
01:35:50,912 --> 01:35:54,832
Then he bought the houses.
And then he bought the stores.
935
01:35:55,416 --> 01:36:00,505
Whatever he bought, the people were
not asked to leave or pay rent.
936
01:36:00,672 --> 01:36:03,591
They were just asked to keep
doing as they were doing .
937
01:36:03,967 --> 01:36:08,012
ln that way , he could make sure
the town would never die.
938
01:36:10,431 --> 01:36:15,687
Within six months, his trust had
purchased the entire town .
939
01:36:15,853 --> 01:36:18,523
With one exception .
940
01:36:42,755 --> 01:36:45,842
You must be Edward Bloom .
941
01:36:46,009 --> 01:36:47,301
How do you know?
942
01:36:47,885 --> 01:36:50,596
No one would come out here
unless they had business .
943
01:36:50,805 --> 01:36:53,808
And no one would have business
with me e xcept for you .
944
01:36:53,975 --> 01:36:56,352
You're buying the town .
945
01:36:56,853 --> 01:37:00,898
Apparently I overlooked this one
piece of it, and I'd like to remedy that.
946
01:37:01,482 --> 01:37:06,404
I n order for the town to be preserved ,
the trust must own it, in its entirety .
947
01:37:06,571 --> 01:37:07,905
And so I've heard .
948
01:37:08,072 --> 01:37:11,576
I'll offer you more than it's worth .
And you won't have to move .
949
01:37:11,743 --> 01:37:15,163
Nothing will change e xcept the name
on the deed , you have my word .
950
01:37:15,330 --> 01:37:17,999
Now, let me get this straight.
951
01:37:18,166 --> 01:37:20,835
You buy the swamp from me ,
but I'll stay in it?
952
01:37:21,002 --> 01:37:23,671
You'll own the house ,
but it'll still be mine?
953
01:37:23,838 --> 01:37:27,842
I'll be here , and you'll come and go as
you please to one place or another.
954
01:37:28,009 --> 01:37:29,969
Do I have that right?
955
01:37:30,136 --> 01:37:32,764
I n so many words , yes .
956
01:37:33,598 --> 01:37:35,600
Yeah , then I don't think so ,
Mr. Bloom .
957
01:37:36,267 --> 01:37:39,270
If nothing's gonna change ,
I'd just as soon it not change . . .
958
01:37:39,437 --> 01:37:42,440
. . . in the way things haven't been
changing all this time .
959
01:37:43,649 --> 01:37:48,446
It's not like you'll lose anything .
You can ask anyone in town .
960
01:37:49,822 --> 01:37:52,325
Why are you buying this land ,
Mr. Bloom?
961
01:37:52,492 --> 01:37:54,077
Some sort of midlife crisis?
962
01:37:54,827 --> 01:37:57,622
I nstead of buying a convertible ,
you buy a town?
963
01:37:58,081 --> 01:38:00,249
Helping people makes me happy .
964
01:38:00,958 --> 01:38:04,128
I'm not convinced
you should be happy .
965
01:38:04,295 --> 01:38:08,257
-I'm sorry . Have I offended you?
-No .
966
01:38:08,424 --> 01:38:10,301
You did e xactly what you promised .
967
01:38:10,968 --> 01:38:15,598
You came back.
I was just e xpecting you sooner.
968
01:38:23,147 --> 01:38:24,732
You're Beamen's daughter.
969
01:38:26,526 --> 01:38:29,278
Your name's different.
Did you get married?
970
01:38:29,987 --> 01:38:35,076
I was 1 8 . He was 28 .
Turns out that was a big difference .
971
01:38:44,669 --> 01:38:47,964
I won't be selling you this house ,
Mr. Bloom .
972
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:50,591
I see .
973
01:38:51,592 --> 01:38:54,011
Well , thank you for your time .
974
01:39:05,231 --> 01:39:08,359
-It's stuck.
-Yeah .
975
01:39:18,661 --> 01:39:21,706
-Oh , I'm so sorry ! I--
-It's okay . J ust leave it.
976
01:39:21,873 --> 01:39:24,375
-No , I'll--
-Please ! J ust go .
977
01:39:25,918 --> 01:39:28,504
-But--
-Go .
978
01:39:30,798 --> 01:39:35,553
Most men in that situation would
accept their failure and move on .
979
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:38,806
But Edward was not like most men .
980
01:39:48,149 --> 01:39:49,567
Hold !
981
01:39:53,029 --> 01:39:55,865
They both had completely
different characters but. . .
982
01:39:56,032 --> 01:39:58,743
. . .well , just one pair of legs .
983
01:40:09,086 --> 01:40:12,632
As the months passed, he found
more and more things to fix . . .
984
01:40:12,798 --> 01:40:16,719
. . . until the shack no longer
resembled itself.
985
01:40:32,944 --> 01:40:36,948
Of course , the best part
was coming up with the new material .
986
01:40:37,740 --> 01:40:40,201
By the time the twins and I
had got to Havana. . .
987
01:40:40,368 --> 01:40:45,957
. . .we'd worked out a new routine ,
using only a ukulele and a harmonica.
988
01:41:05,268 --> 01:41:08,813
-Well . . . .
-You could leave it there .
989
01:41:26,330 --> 01:41:27,957
No .
990
01:41:38,009 --> 01:41:39,969
Now, don't.
991
01:41:40,136 --> 01:41:45,308
Don't be embarrassed . I should never
have let you think that. . . .
992
01:41:46,142 --> 01:41:48,936
I'm in love with my wife .
993
01:41:49,937 --> 01:41:51,939
Yeah , I know.
994
01:41:52,106 --> 01:41:55,234
And from the first day I saw her
until the day I die . . .
995
01:41:55,401 --> 01:41:57,486
. . . she's the only one .
996
01:41:58,195 --> 01:42:00,156
Lucky girl .
997
01:42:01,198 --> 01:42:04,118
I'm sorry , Jenny . I am .
998
01:42:12,043 --> 01:42:14,337
Wait! Edward .
999
01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:58,798
One day, Edward Bloom left. . .
1000
01:42:58,964 --> 01:43:02,802
. . . and never returned
to the town he'd saved .
1001
01:43:15,356 --> 01:43:17,191
As for the girl . . .
1002
01:43:17,358 --> 01:43:20,069
. . .the common belief
was that she'd become a witch . . .
1003
01:43:20,236 --> 01:43:22,613
. . . and crazy at that.
1004
01:43:24,073 --> 01:43:27,535
She became something
of a legend herself.
1005
01:43:28,786 --> 01:43:33,207
And the story ended where it began .
1006
01:43:34,333 --> 01:43:37,253
Logically , you couldn't be
the witch , because she was . . .
1007
01:43:37,420 --> 01:43:38,712
. . . old when he was young .
1008
01:43:39,004 --> 01:43:42,133
Well , it's logical if you think
like your father.
1009
01:43:43,134 --> 01:43:46,971
See , to him there's only
two women :
1010
01:43:47,138 --> 01:43:48,764
Your mother. . .
1011
01:43:48,931 --> 01:43:50,307
. . . and everyone else .
1012
01:43:50,558 --> 01:43:52,476
And one day . . .
1013
01:43:52,643 --> 01:43:57,106
. . . I realized I was in love with a man
who could never love me back.
1014
01:43:58,149 --> 01:44:00,317
I was living in a fairy tale .
1015
01:44:01,444 --> 01:44:03,779
I'm not sure I should've told you
any of this .
1016
01:44:03,946 --> 01:44:06,490
No , no , no , I wanted to know. I'm . . . .
1017
01:44:06,657 --> 01:44:08,117
I'm glad I know.
1018
01:44:08,826 --> 01:44:12,163
I wanted to be as important to him
as you were.
1019
01:44:12,663 --> 01:44:14,457
And I'm . . . .
1020
01:44:14,915 --> 01:44:16,333
I was never gonna be .
1021
01:44:19,295 --> 01:44:21,464
I was make-believe .
1022
01:44:22,923 --> 01:44:27,303
And his other life , you . . . .
1023
01:44:28,137 --> 01:44:29,680
You were real .
1024
01:44:53,996 --> 01:44:55,581
Mom?
1025
01:44:56,624 --> 01:44:58,459
Josephine?
1026
01:45:00,294 --> 01:45:02,171
Josephine?
1027
01:45:15,810 --> 01:45:17,895
Will !
1028
01:45:19,021 --> 01:45:20,231
What happened?
1029
01:45:20,397 --> 01:45:22,191
Your father had a stroke .
1030
01:45:22,358 --> 01:45:25,486
He's upstairs with your mom
and Dr. Bennett.
1031
01:45:25,653 --> 01:45:26,987
Is he gonna be okay?
1032
01:45:34,912 --> 01:45:37,039
I don't suppose that I could . . .
1033
01:45:37,206 --> 01:45:39,708
. . . stay here with him .
I mean , in case . . . .
1034
01:45:40,543 --> 01:45:43,462
I n case he wakes up ,
I really ought to be here .
1035
01:45:43,629 --> 01:45:44,922
I'll stay .
1036
01:45:45,923 --> 01:45:48,968
Why don't you go home with
Josephine . I'll stay tonight.
1037
01:45:50,803 --> 01:45:53,764
-Is that okay?
-Fine .
1038
01:45:56,684 --> 01:45:59,603
Will , you'll call if there's any . . . ?
1039
01:45:59,770 --> 01:46:02,898
I will . I will . I'll call .
1040
01:46:04,441 --> 01:46:08,445
-Do you want some time with Dad?
-Yes. Thank you .
1041
01:47:12,551 --> 01:47:16,096
Glad to see you're not trying
to have a heartfelt talk.
1042
01:47:19,266 --> 01:47:21,852
One of my greatest
annoyances is when . . .
1043
01:47:22,019 --> 01:47:24,980
. . . people try to talk to those
who can't hear them .
1044
01:47:25,147 --> 01:47:27,274
Well , we have an advantage .
1045
01:47:27,441 --> 01:47:29,860
My father and I never talk.
1046
01:47:36,408 --> 01:47:39,495
Your father ever tell you
about the day you were born?
1047
01:47:39,662 --> 01:47:43,082
Yeah , a thousand times .
He caught an uncatchable fish .
1048
01:47:43,248 --> 01:47:47,211
Not that. The real story .
He ever tell you that?
1049
01:47:47,378 --> 01:47:49,213
No .
1050
01:47:49,380 --> 01:47:52,883
Well , your mother came in about
3 in the afternoon .
1051
01:47:53,050 --> 01:47:57,513
Her neighbour drove her, on account of
your father was away on business. . .
1052
01:47:57,680 --> 01:47:59,348
. . . in Wichita.
1053
01:47:59,515 --> 01:48:03,852
You were born a week early ,
but there were no complications .
1054
01:48:04,019 --> 01:48:09,692
It was a perfect delivery .
Your father was sorry not to be there .
1055
01:48:10,234 --> 01:48:14,947
But it wasn't the custom then for men
to be in the room for deliveries . . .
1056
01:48:15,114 --> 01:48:19,410
. . . so I can't see how it would've been
much different had he been there .
1057
01:48:19,576 --> 01:48:22,329
And that's the real story
of how you were born .
1058
01:48:22,955 --> 01:48:25,416
Not very e xciting , is it?
1059
01:48:25,582 --> 01:48:29,420
And I suppose if I had to choose
between the true version . . .
1060
01:48:29,586 --> 01:48:34,133
. . . and an elaborate one involving
a fish and a wedding ring . . .
1061
01:48:34,299 --> 01:48:36,260
. . . I might choose the fancy version .
1062
01:48:36,969 --> 01:48:38,929
But, then that's just me .
1063
01:48:40,013 --> 01:48:41,557
I kind of liked your version .
1064
01:49:04,121 --> 01:49:05,706
Dad?
1065
01:49:07,833 --> 01:49:11,420
Hey , Dad? Hey , you want me
to get the nurse?
1066
01:49:13,297 --> 01:49:16,341
What do you want? What can I do?
What can I get?
1067
01:49:16,508 --> 01:49:18,594
You want some water?
1068
01:49:19,636 --> 01:49:21,138
You want a bit of water?
1069
01:49:24,057 --> 01:49:26,769
The river.
1070
01:49:28,312 --> 01:49:30,147
The river?
1071
01:49:30,647 --> 01:49:34,818
Tell me how it happens.
1072
01:49:36,695 --> 01:49:38,655
How what happens?
1073
01:49:39,656 --> 01:49:42,117
How I go.
1074
01:49:46,497 --> 01:49:48,957
You mean what you saw in The Eye?
1075
01:50:02,971 --> 01:50:06,308
I don't know that story , Dad .
You never told me that one .
1076
01:50:09,186 --> 01:50:12,231
Okay . Hey , okay , I'll try .
1077
01:50:12,397 --> 01:50:15,025
I need your help .
Tell me how it starts.
1078
01:50:17,277 --> 01:50:20,948
Like this .
1079
01:50:21,115 --> 01:50:23,158
Okay . Okay .
1080
01:50:25,786 --> 01:50:29,248
Okay , so it's in the morning . . .
1081
01:50:29,414 --> 01:50:33,544
. . . and you and I are in the hospital ,
and I've fallen asleep . And I wake up . . .
1082
01:50:34,002 --> 01:50:37,381
. . . and l see you ,
and somehow you're better.
1083
01:50:37,548 --> 01:50:38,674
Dad?
1084
01:50:38,841 --> 01:50:40,884
You're different.
1085
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:44,763
-Dad .
-Let's get out of here .
1086
01:50:44,930 --> 01:50:46,223
Then l say:
1087
01:50:46,390 --> 01:50:47,808
Dad , you're in no condition--
1088
01:50:47,975 --> 01:50:50,394
Get that wheelchair.
1089
01:50:52,813 --> 01:50:54,731
H urry up ! We haven't much time !
1090
01:50:54,898 --> 01:50:57,359
Once we get off this floor,
we're in the clear.
1091
01:50:57,526 --> 01:50:59,236
And we get in the wheelchair. . .
1092
01:50:59,403 --> 01:51:02,739
-Faster!
- . . . like we're escaping the hospital .
1093
01:51:02,906 --> 01:51:04,741
What are you doing?
1094
01:51:04,908 --> 01:51:07,244
We pass Dr. Bennett,
who tries to slow us down .
1095
01:51:07,411 --> 01:51:10,414
-Stop them !
-We're flying down the hall .
1096
01:51:10,581 --> 01:51:12,499
Orderly after orderly is chasing us.
1097
01:51:12,666 --> 01:51:14,751
Mom and Josephine
are at the end .
1098
01:51:14,918 --> 01:51:17,671
No time to e xplain ! Stall them !
1099
01:51:23,343 --> 01:51:25,387
We come flying out
over the kerb . . .
1100
01:51:25,554 --> 01:51:29,933
. . . and your old red Charger is there .
But it's new . Brand-new .
1101
01:51:30,100 --> 01:51:32,436
And I pick you up . . .
1102
01:51:32,603 --> 01:51:36,231
. . . and somehow you hardly weigh
anything . I can't e xplain it.
1103
01:51:40,485 --> 01:51:43,238
Leave it! We don't need it!
1104
01:51:45,282 --> 01:51:47,618
Water. I need water.
1105
01:51:50,954 --> 01:51:52,956
-Where are we going?
-The river.
1106
01:51:59,963 --> 01:52:02,466
And we have to take Glenville
to avoid traffic. . .
1107
01:52:02,633 --> 01:52:05,385
. . . because the damn church
people drive too slow.
1108
01:52:46,176 --> 01:52:51,431
And as we get close to the river. . .
1109
01:53:00,065 --> 01:53:02,275
He's here !
1110
01:53:02,567 --> 01:53:05,445
. . .we see that everybody
is already there .
1111
01:53:21,878 --> 01:53:23,463
And I mean . . .
1112
01:53:24,715 --> 01:53:26,008
. . . everyone.
1113
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:41,231
It's unbelievable .
1114
01:53:41,732 --> 01:53:45,902
The story of my life .
1115
01:53:54,453 --> 01:53:57,414
The strange thing is, there's
not a sad face to be found .
1116
01:53:57,581 --> 01:54:00,125
Everyone is just so glad
to see you . . .
1117
01:54:01,251 --> 01:54:03,545
. . . and send you off right.
1118
01:54:03,712 --> 01:54:09,343
Goodbye , everybody !
Farewell ! Adieu !
1119
01:54:20,687 --> 01:54:23,273
My girl in the river.
1120
01:55:34,845 --> 01:55:37,681
You become what you always were .
1121
01:55:39,307 --> 01:55:41,685
A very big fish .
1122
01:55:46,773 --> 01:55:49,109
And that's how it happens .
1123
01:55:50,694 --> 01:55:52,487
Yeah .
1124
01:55:54,948 --> 01:55:57,534
E xactly .
1125
01:56:39,576 --> 01:56:40,994
Mom?
1126
01:58:08,206 --> 01:58:11,459
The Lord is my shepherd ,
I shall not be in want.
1127
01:58:11,626 --> 01:58:15,171
He makes me to lie down
in green pastures .
1128
01:58:15,338 --> 01:58:18,300
He leads me beside the quiet waters .
1129
01:58:18,466 --> 01:58:20,427
He restores my soul .
1130
01:58:20,594 --> 01:58:24,597
He guides me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake .
1131
01:58:25,223 --> 01:58:28,476
Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death . . .
1132
01:58:28,643 --> 01:58:31,271
. . . I will fear no evil ,
for you are with me .
1133
01:58:31,438 --> 01:58:35,775
Surely goodness and love will
follow me all the days of my life .
1134
01:59:22,739 --> 01:59:27,202
Have you ever heard a joke so many
times you've forgotten why it's funny?
1135
01:59:27,369 --> 01:59:31,456
And then you hear it again
and suddenly it's new .
1136
01:59:31,623 --> 01:59:34,793
You remember why you loved it
in the first place .
1137
01:59:36,628 --> 01:59:39,839
So he said he'll fight the giant
who was 1 5 feet tall !
1138
01:59:40,006 --> 01:59:43,426
-No way !
-Dad ! That's right, isn't it?
1139
01:59:43,593 --> 01:59:44,928
Pretty much .
1140
01:59:45,095 --> 01:59:47,347
See? So he was a giant.
1141
01:59:47,514 --> 01:59:49,974
That was my father's final joke ,
l guess.
1142
01:59:50,392 --> 01:59:56,106
A man tells his stories so many times
that he becomes the stories.
1143
01:59:57,524 --> 01:59:59,859
They live on after him .
1144
02:00:02,112 --> 02:00:05,490
And in that way ,
he becomes immortal.
