:40:01
You scapers got enough covers
up there?
:40:05
- Yes, Ma.
- Yes'm.
:40:08
- Good night.
- Night.
:40:10
- Night, Ma.
- Night.
:40:15
And then what happened?
:40:17
It were a sunny day,
like this one we just had.
:40:20
- You went to the roof?
- I went to the edge of the roof.
:40:24
- And then you jumped?
- I jumped way out in the air.
:40:28
What'd it feel like?
:40:30
When I was jumping, it felt just
like I were flying for a minute...
:40:35
...just like a bird.
And then it went kind of dark.
:40:39
It were dark for quite a time.
:40:42
- Was you bad hurted?
- I reckon.
:40:47
It should've worked.
:40:49
I were too young. Someday, I'll fly.
:40:53
I'll just fly on and on.
It'll be easier than walking.
:40:59
Walking ain't easy for me
since I tried to fly.
:41:02
I guess near about everything
would like to fly.
:41:06
Birds fly. Birds and angels.
:41:10
Do you know what the end
of the world's like?
:41:14
What?
:41:15
It's empty and dark
and only clouds to ride on.
:41:20
But the clouds is sunny and soft.
:41:24
You just float on them
and go nowheres.
:41:27
And all the animals
has little bright clouds to ride on.
:41:31
Racket'll have a little one,
just alongside of mine.
:41:35
And do you know what?
Sometimes, as you're drifting along...
:41:39
...you drift right inside
another cloud.
:41:42
You'll be on that one,
and we'll lie there and talk.
:41:45
Just like we're talking now.
And you know what, Jody?
:41:49
What?
:41:51
The clouds are really
just the backs of angels...
:41:54
...who are flying around up there
looking after things.
:41:58
They'll look after you too, Jody,
until you're ready to fly.
