:30:01
l'll do my best, Mrs. Strong.
:30:03
l'll do my very best.
:30:04
Will you join us for tea, Libby?
:30:07
No, think l'll wait...
:30:08
till Mr. Brackett
finishes his chores.

:30:17
Joshua, you are incorrigible.
:30:19
Ayuh. That, too.
:30:21
How be ya, Mrs. Doughty?
:30:23
Well, better if you'd keep down
the clatter, Mr. Brackett.

:30:26
She's a corker, that one.
:30:28
Ayuh.
:30:30
A right wicked caution.
:30:33
Need any help, Sarah?
:30:35
Been keeping busy, Joshua?
:30:37
Busier than a goddamn bee,
Mrs. Doughty.

:30:40
There certainly are
a lot of newcomers...

:30:42
on the island these days.
:30:43
Yes.
:30:45
Yeah, too many, if you ask me.
:30:47
These biscuits are rather dull.
:30:49
Glory, l never seen so damn many
people in all my life.

:30:52
Or cars, for that matter.
:30:54
Some of these summer people
bring down two.

:30:56
Lord knows why.
:30:57
l don't even need one.
:30:59
You can't walk
more than a mile...

:31:00
before you fall
into the damned ocean.

:31:02
Oh, Joshua.
:31:07
Someone tells me you're seeing
Myrtle Jackson again, Joshua.

:31:11
Ayuh. When l can, when l can.
:31:13
Well, you two make
a lovely couple.

:31:15
Well, you see, Myrtle's
a lady, Mrs. Doughty...

:31:18
and she don't go parading around
like a living beach ball...

:31:22
all squeezed into them
Bermudey shorts.

:31:26
Quit a job on a woman
like that last week.

:31:28
l left my tools right there.
:31:30
Well, you went back
for them, l hope.

:31:32
Nope.
:31:33
l got plenty of tools.
:31:35
But l ain't got time
for people like that.

:31:37
People like that won't even
spend the time of day with you.

:31:41
They won't even offer
you a cup of tea.

:31:44
You know, them people are gonna
be the ruination of this island.

:31:50
What happened, Joshua?
:31:54
That woman told me
l was too slow, Mrs. Webber.

:31:59
The idea!
