:51:00
l've had lots of lessons.
lt's just that l'm afraid of the water.

:51:05
Okay, over on your back. That's it.
:51:10
You know what we do
in the winter?

:51:12
We flood our tennis courts
and ice-skate on them.

:51:15
Those kids of mine look so damn cute.
Like elves in their red stocking caps.

:51:21
- l don't know how to skate.
- You come over, we'll teach you.

:51:25
- Then we'll have a game of hockey.
- Okay.

:51:29
Breaststroke. Yes, sir, those kids
of mine think l got all the answers.

:51:34
Those kids of mine
think l'm just about it.

:51:43
l've done it! lt's the first time
l've ever swum a whole lane!

:51:48
Congratulations.
:51:57
l suppose it doesn't count, though,
because there's no water.

:52:01
- For us there was.
- But that's a lie, isn't it?

:52:04
No. You see, if you make believe
hard enough that something is true...

:52:09
...then it is true for you.
:52:11
- Let's do it again.
- l gotta be going.

:52:16
- Oh, come on, please?
- lt's getting late.

:52:20
- l'm sorry, l'd like to, but...
- lf you're gonna leave, then leave.

:52:28
l'll give you a ring tomorrow.
About coming over.
