The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane

:04:00

You shouldn’t cut it just for them.

:04:04

Bravo.

:04:07

Where’s your mother?

:04:09

My mother’s dead.

:04:11

But your father’s here.

:04:14

He smokes French cigarettes, right?

:04:17

Am I right about
the French cigarettes?

:04:19

Yeah.

:04:21

Where is he, upstairs?

:04:23

Your father’s upstairs?

:04:25

- No, he’s in his study, working.
- Oh, yes. He’s a poet.

:04:28

My mother says he’s a poet.

:04:30

And whatever my mother says
automatically has to be true.

:04:33

It wouldn’t dare not be.

:04:36

My mother’s the lady that leased
this place to you and your father.

:04:43

Oh, that’s great.

:04:45

The kids are gonna love this.

:04:53

Are my hands cold?

:05:00

You’re 13?

:05:02

I counted 13 candles.

:05:05

- That’s all I had.
- You’re 14?

:05:11

L"II bet you write poetry too.

:05:12

I'd like to read
your poems sometime.

:05:18

Just you and your father live here?
Just you two?

:05:21

Yeah.

:05:24

And I'll bet this is
his favorite chair, isn’t it?

:05:30

Yeah.

:05:33

What’ve you got there?
What is that, a hamster?

:05:36

Oh, let me see.

:05:38

Well, I just wanna see.

:05:42

What’s his name?

:05:45

Oh, come on. He’s gotta have a name.
Tell me his name.

:05:47

Gordon.

:05:49

Gordon? He’s cute.

:05:53

Shouldn’t you tell
your father I'm here?

:05:56

No, not when he’s working.

:05:58

You’re a very pretty girl,
you know that?
