:28:00
It wasn't my idea.
:28:01
We know that.
:28:02
Jess is going to get a nice slow horse
that doesn't have any racing ideas.

:28:08
Did thee shoot any rebs?
:28:12
What are they like?
:28:13
They're just people like us.
:28:16
But did thee shoot any?
:28:18
Let's have no more talk of war...
:28:20
...and killing.
:28:21
I'm sorry, ma'am.
:28:22
- Come in and set.
- Thank you.

:28:26
You folks going to the fair?
:28:28
I used to like the fair...
:28:30
...but it's come to be
no place for us.

:28:33
They've got some fine exhibits.
:28:35
Needlework, livestock, poultry.
:28:37
And geese.
:28:39
Eliza, it might be just the place
to pick us up a nice slow horse.

:28:42
Thee go, Jess. The fair's come to have
so many sideshows, freaks, dancing...

:28:47
Dancing?
What does thee know about dancing?

:28:50
She knows a thing or two.
:28:52
Did Mama ever dance?
:28:55
That was 20 years ago.
:28:57
Twenty years exactly, come October.
:28:59
I was courting her.
:29:00
But did Mama dance?
:29:02
No, child.
:29:04
She was tempted to lift a foot,
but she married me instead.

:29:08
Did thee propose then and there?
:29:10
Dinner's ready.
Stay and eat with us?

:29:12
Thank you, ma'am.
I'd be pleased to.

:29:15
What about the fair?
:29:17
- Come on, Josh, Jess.
- Can we go, Papa?

:29:19
There's no point in putting temptation
in the children's paths.

:29:23
We'd resist it.
:29:24
We'd resist it as well as thee did.
:29:26
Why can't we go?
:29:28
She'll never let us go.
Mama's so straight-laced!

:29:36
Maybe I can loosen up a few laces.
