:22:06
When the boys tried to kiss her...
:22:10
she'd scratch their faces...
:22:13
with her pointed fiingernails.
:22:17
That's how she ended up
an old maid.
:22:23
Later she left to work
for the priest at Crespin.
:22:30
She was Florette's best friend.
:22:35
She'll be able to tell me
about her.
:22:40
I made an important decision.
:22:43
- I'll go see Florette in Crespin.
- No, you won't.
:22:47
If she knows you want her land,
she'll triple the price.
:22:56
And if she knows it's for us,
she'll refuse.
:23:00
- Why?
- That's the way she is.
:23:04
What can we do?
:23:07
Nothing.
:23:11
Florette won't come back.
:23:13
As a young woman, she loved money.
:23:16
She's probably worse now.
:23:20
So she'll sell,
but no local farmer will buy.
:23:25
They own too much land already.
:23:28
- A stranger might buy it.
- What the hell for?
:23:31
To grow vegetables or flowers,
like me!
:23:34
- Without water?
- There's the spring.
:23:37
- What if there was no spring?
- But there is one!
:23:43
You'll never learn.
:23:47
Here's my plan.
:23:49
It's already half stopped up.
:23:52
- An accident could shut it completely.
- What accident?
:23:56
Suppose you walk by
with a load of cement.
