Only debts.
:51:05
I had an auntie once
who was, though.

:51:09
You'll never guess
what she collected.

:51:13
Go on.
:51:18
Bluebirds.
:51:20
Honest.
Wild bluebirds.

:51:23
Flyin' all over her house.
:51:25
Marvelous with 'em
she was and all.

:51:27
Even taught one of them
to talk once.

:51:30
Timid little thing, it was.
No bigger... than your thumb.

:51:33
Too scared
even to leave his cage.

:51:36
But what she did
was so simple.

:51:39
All she did was keep it
shaded and safe...

:51:43
at all times,
:51:47
and then sing to it
and stroke it...

:51:50
very, very soft
every day.

:51:54
And after a while,
it gave her his heart.

:51:59
Later,
when it grew strong,

:52:02
she set it free.
:52:06
But before it flew
to its freedom,

:52:09
it stopped...
on the window ledge.

:52:12
Then it turned to her...
:52:16
and, to her great surprise,
:52:19
sang.
:52:28
See? There she goes.
:52:32
True story, that.
:52:38
Which are your dad's
favorites?

:52:40
Them three there.
:52:42
Oh, good.
You know what we'll...

:52:45
- Oh, no. No.
- What?

:52:49
No. Well, I, I, I was just
thinking we, we could have
included them, uh, in the, er,

:52:53
you know... the act.
:52:56
But we're not doin' it now.
:52:59
I bet your dad
would have liked that, eh?
