Look, I already told you,
I'm not a water person.

They dragged it here.
:28:06
What, honey?
:28:09
The house.
They dragged it here.

:28:12
You must've had a dream,
sweetheart.

:28:14
Who told you about that?
:28:22
A long time ago,
on Gaze Island

:28:24
the old Quoyles couldn't make
a go of it there

:28:28
so they lashed the house with
ropes and they dragged it.

:28:31
Yeah, they
dragged it.

:28:34
Across the ice,
clear to the mainland.

:28:37
Right here.

(rope creaking)
:28:41
(wind whistling)
:28:44
(driving Celtic drums)
:28:53
(rumbling and creaking)

QUOYLE:
This is from the "News
of Your Neighbors" column.

:29:29
"The pole on the corner of Main
and West Streets

:29:32
"has a sign on it that says
:29:34
"it's illegal to place anything
on that pole.

:29:37
"We see the postman
has landed in the clink

:29:40
"for throwing the mail in
Killick-Claw Harbor.

:29:43
"He said he had too much
to deliver

:29:45
"and the folks could just take
a dip and help themselves.

:29:48
Guess it helps
if you can swim."

:29:50
This is professional stuff.
:29:51
How am I supposed to write this?
:29:53
BUNNY:
You can't.

:29:53
You'll get it wrong.
:29:55
Here now, miss! Don't you talk
to your father like that!

:29:57
Course he can do it.
:29:58
Petal says
Dad never gets anything right.
