What are your plans now, Mr. Gardiner?
:45:03
Or may I call you Chauncey?
:45:06
Chauncey's fine.
:45:12
So then, what are your plans, Chauncey?
:45:22
I would like to work in your garden.
:45:30
I know exactly what he means.
Isn't it wonderful...

:45:34
...to be with the trees
and the flowers like that?

:45:38
I never had much feel for it, myself.
:45:42
I'm a very good gardener.
:45:44
It's such a pleasant way
to forget one's troubles.

:45:52
Isn't that what any businessman is?
A gardener.

:45:57
He...
:45:59
...works on...
:46:01
...flinty soil...
:46:03
...to make it productive...
:46:05
...with the labor of his own hands.
:46:08
He waters it...
:46:10
...with the sweat of his own brow.
:46:13
He makes a thing of value for his family...
:46:17
...and for the community.
:46:19
Yes, indeed, Chauncey,
a productive businessman...

:46:24
...is a laborer in the vineyards.
:46:30
I know exactly what you mean.
:46:34
The garden that I left was such a place.
:46:40
I don't have that anymore. All I have left...
:46:44
...is the room upstairs.
:46:47
Come on, now, wait a minute, Chauncey.
:46:50
You've got your health.
:46:52
For God's sake, man, you can't let those
bastards get you down. You got to fight.

:46:58
I don't want to hear anymore from you
about that room upstairs.
