Wait, who's next? l can't think.
l had it a minute ago. Who is it?

:10:09
Who is it?
Who's next to the Biswangers'?

:10:12
- Shirley Abbott.
- Shirley Abbott.

:10:16
Across Route 424 to the recreation
center pool, up the hill and l'm home.

:10:30
Don't you see? l just figured it out.
lf l take a dogleg to the southwest...

:10:36
...l can swim home.
:10:39
Come on, Ned.
:10:43
- Why would you want to swim home?
- l don't get it.

:10:47
Pool by pool, they form a river
all the way to our house.

:10:52
l suppose you could put it that way.
Now, Neddy, why don't you sit down...

:10:58
...and have a drink
and then we'll all go to the Grahams'?

:11:03
l'll call it the Lucinda River,
after my wife.

:11:07
That's quite a tribute.
:11:09
This is the day Ned Merrill
swims across the county.

:11:18
Always threw himself in the water
like that. God, what energy!

:11:23
He keeps himself in shape.
:11:25
Come on. He always ate like a horse,
never put on an ounce.

:11:30
- Look at that. Wouldn't use the ladder.
- Hey, Ned! Where are you going?

:11:35
Where'd he get that nutty idea?
:11:38
- He's just joking.
- You sure?

:11:40
Sure. We'll find him waiting for us
at the Grahams'.

:11:44
God, l hate Columbus.
:11:47
Swim to his house.
Why would he wanna do that?

:11:54
Neddy, Neddy! lt's been so long.
:11:58
- You look wonderful.
- So do you.
