You were right, Galinette.
You'll be growing flowers.

:12:05
Why was it such a secret?
:12:07
I wanted to try it out fiirst,
to see if the soil is right.

:12:10
Once they bloomed,
I knew you'd be impressed.

:12:13
The flowers didn't impress me.
:12:16
The florist did.
:12:21
- What'll it cost?
- 1 5,000.

:12:24
- You've got it.
- You're too generous!

:12:27
Not really. It's not for you.
:12:30
It's for all Soubeyrans,
buried ones and future ones.

:12:34
If its nose was where its tail is,
I would die!

:12:38
Like us!
:12:47
- Something's bothering me?
- What?

:12:50
The water.
:12:52
What water?
:12:53
A carnation plant
drinks like a fiish.

:12:56
For my 500 plants,
I shredded my hands hauling water.

:13:01
Install a cistern with a pump.
:13:03
It'll be empty in four days
if we water 500 plants.

:13:08
That is a problem.
:13:14
We should dig a big reservoir...
:13:17
that would collect
all the rainwater.

:13:20
It may not rain one year!
:13:24
No. We must fiind a fiield
near a natural water source.

:13:30
I wonder--
:13:32
What if we buy Bouffiigue's fiield
and his spring...

:13:36
up at Romarins?
:13:38
Does that spring still have water?
:13:40
My father said it dried up.
:13:44
It's more than half blocked up.
:13:48
When I was young,
it was a lovely stream.

:13:51
Old Camoins grew cartloads
of vegetables there.

:13:56
I bet we could unblock it
with a pickax.
