:22:10
Kitchen first.
:22:15
Everything was working for the Roses.
:22:18
Let me restate that.
:22:21
The Roses were working for everything.
:22:24
Over the next six years, Oliver dug in.
Made senior partner.

:22:28
The kids lopped off 70, 80 pounds.
:22:31
And Barbara laboured seven days a week...
:22:34
..to create the perfect home
that Oliver always dreamed of.

:22:38
Not easy for a girl who grew up
drinking her milk...

:22:41
..from glasses with chipped, yellow flowers.
:22:44
There were a million choices...
and she sweated every one of 'em.

:22:49
She refinished all the tables herself.
:22:52
It took six months
to get the floors exactly right.

:22:56
A hundred Sundays to find the perfect
Staffordshire figures and plates...

:23:00
..that she put over the fireplace.
:23:03
When you work that hard on something,...
:23:05
..eventually you have to finish
and face the awful question:

:23:10
"What's left to do?"
:23:17
- Are you working?
- Yes. Is it important?

:23:20
Yes. Kind of. I hope so.
:23:24
Stephanie Mayes called
to say thank you for dinner the other night.

:23:27
She said the pâté I made was so good
I should go into business.

:23:31
So I asked her if she really meant it
and she said she did,...

:23:34
..so I took a pound over to her
and collected $35.

:23:38
I'd almost forgotten
what it felt like to make money.

:23:42
- You sold liver to our friends?
- She paid me in cash, Oliver.

:23:46
Somehow that felt different
from the money I get cashing a cheque.

:23:50
It made me feel like...
trading in the Volvo on one of those...

:23:54
..four-wheel drive things with the big,
knobby tyres and the 200-horsepower engine.
