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.

:42:04
How do you know that?
:42:08
I just know.
:42:11
Could be.
:42:16
Yeah.
:42:18
Could be.
:42:22
Pa! Pa! Pa!
I can see him, Pa. I can see him.

:42:27
An old Spaniard riding along.
Fodderwing said I could spy him here.

:42:31
That's nice.
:42:33
- What'd he say he seen?
- A Spaniard.

:42:36
What Spaniard?
:42:39
I don't know.
:42:45
There, now. I was scared this
wouldn't stand another washing.

:42:49
- What else you got that's cool to wear?
- Nothing, excusing my wedding dress.

:42:55
- That black alpaca's nice.
- That went to pieces three years ago.

:42:59
It went to pure rags,
doing work just like this.
