:19:01
Mr. Slade.
:19:04
Yes, Peter?
:19:07
Mr. Slade,
:19:10
I'm leaving you.
I'm through.

:19:12
Why, bless me, Peter.
:19:13
I've had all of
London I want.

:19:16
I-I'm fed up with everything
I can think of.

:19:18
Plans and buildings
and people and fog

:19:22
and l... everything else.
I'm going to America.

:19:25
Peter, you can't do that.
:19:28
Why, you are the most
promising young man
in my employ.

:19:31
I should hate to lose you.
:19:33
You can become the
most prominent architect
in London

:19:35
if you'll just apply yourself.
:19:37
Well, l... I don't feel
very much

:19:39
like applying myself.
:19:40
Peter, what you need
is a rest.

:19:43
You've been
working steadily.

:19:44
Take a holiday
and go to Paris.

:19:47
Go to Paris and play.
:19:49
Why?
:19:50
It isn't any good, sir.
:19:52
What is it, Peter. A lady?
:19:54
No.
:19:55
What, then?
I don't know.

:19:57
Well, whatever it is,
:19:59
it's no good
runnin' away from it.

:20:01
Being happy
ain't in places.

:20:03
Being happy
is inside of you.

:20:06
And, I think you ought to be
a little ashamed, Peter,

:20:08
a fine,
big young man like you.

:20:11
That's right, sir,
give it to me.

:20:14
It is a little funny, though.
:20:15
Here I am with everything
to be happy about,

:20:17
and I'm not.
:20:18
And here you are,
as happy as anybody

:20:20
and, well, you have plenty
to be unhappy about
if you wanted to.

:20:24
Don't you go
feeling sorry for me.

:20:26
I've got everything
a person needs, I have.

:20:29
I can hear things
and smell 'em,

:20:31
and see 'em, too.
Those I want to.

:20:33
What do you mean,
you can see things?

:20:35
Of course I see 'em.
:20:37
I can tell you
about some things

:20:38
just as good as you can.
:20:40
And I know what
that model looks like.

:20:43
And I've seen the way
the ocean comes in

:20:45
and goes all white
when it swishes down.

:20:48
And flowers, and...
:20:49
But, sir, you can't
really see those things.

:20:51
You were born...
:20:53
Yes, Peter,
I was born blind,

:20:56
but I've seen things
just the same.

:20:59
But... but how could you?
I mean...
