:26:01
Sit in the square.
:26:03
Take a walk in the woods.
:26:05
I can't.
:26:08
You know, that was a nice speech
you wrote for Mrs. Thornton.
:26:12
I'm sorry I did it now.
:26:14
Why didn't you read it yourself
instead of Rodney Harrington?
:26:17
Because I was afraid I'd cry.
:26:20
Still might cry every time I think
of Ms. Thornton not getting that job.
:26:24
You know, you just might turn out
to be a great writer.
:26:27
Norman, I hope so.
:26:30
You know, every time I touch
a book or read a story...
:26:34
...or even when I
just open the dictionary...
:26:36
...something inside of me
goes thump...
:26:40
...and my heart starts pounding,
and my stomach.
:26:46
You know, it's how people are supposed
to feel when they fall in love.
:26:50
Of course, I never have.
:26:53
I wish I could be so sure of
what I wanted to do.
:26:58
You must have some idea.
:27:01
No.
:27:03
No, I've thought of everything,
but nothing seems to fit me.
:27:06
Maybe I'll be unique
and retire at the age of 18.
:27:09
Norman, it's about time
you got home.
:27:12
Hello, Ms. Page.
:27:14
- Goodbye, Norman.
- Wait just a minute, will you?
:27:17
- But you...
- I don't want to go in just yet.
:27:20
Norman, what an awful thing,
hating to go home.
:27:24
Come on in here.
:27:27
Well, thanks for walking with me.
:27:30
I enjoyed it, really.
:27:33
Goodbye.
:27:34
Goodbye.
:27:42
- May I walk on it, Nellie?
- Sure, it's dry by now.
:27:46
- Your mother wants you to call her.
- I really don't feel like it.
:27:50
You two have a fight again?
:27:52
Same fight, different round.
:27:55
- Nellie?
- Yeah.
:27:57
You've been both a daughter and
a mother. Which one is worse?
