:36:04
A generous offer
that I gratefully accept!

:36:07
You're wondering why
I decided to settle here.

:36:12
Yes, I'm wondering.
:36:14
It's because I've decided...
:36:19
that my happiness lies
in returning to nature.

:36:24
I'm here to cultivate
the authentic!

:36:28
The ''othentic''?
:36:30
Yes. I want to eat vegetables
from my garden...

:36:35
collect oil from my olive trees
and eggs from my hens...

:36:39
and drink wine
from my vineyard.

:36:41
That'll take time.
The olive trees have grown wild.

:36:45
They'll need three years
of cultivating.

:36:48
A vineyard, too,
will need three years.

:36:51
But vegetables can't grow
without water.

:36:54
We'll see!
:36:56
Thanks to the inheritance
my thrifty mother left me...

:37:00
we have enough to live on
for three years.

:37:04
And in three years--
:37:07
Meanwhile, we have big plans!
:37:15
Thanks again.
I must start work at once.

:37:19
I notice the roof leaks
in quite a few spots.

:37:23
- Lots of luck!
- We have energy to spare.

:37:30
What type of man is he?
:37:33
He's a city hunchback type.
:37:37
- A city type?
- And how!

:37:41
Watch out.
He may be a city chump...

:37:45
but hunchbacks are often
smarter than us.

:37:50
What will he plant?
:37:51
''Othentics''! He'll plant
''othentics'' everywhere!

:37:56
What's an ''othentic''?
:37:57
Probably a plant
that grows in books.
