(pan clattering)
:34:11
He ran off to Winnipeg
with some little bitch.

:34:13
She was barely
out of high school.

:34:15
Is that fucked up enough
for you?

:34:18
Herold...
:34:21
my husband,
he didn't die.

:34:23
Not that he didn't
deserve to.

:34:25
He left me when I was
eight months pregnant;

:34:27
no good to him in bed.
:34:29
So I took his 15-footer
out into the bay

:34:33
cracked the hull with
a hatchet and sunk her

:34:36
and pretended
he was drowned

:34:39
and played the grieving widow
:34:41
and packed my bags
to leave town.

:34:43
But then a funny thing happened.
:34:45
All these folk I grew up with
:34:47
they put their hearts
around me and Herry

:34:50
so we wouldn't be alone.
:34:52
And I just
couldn't leave.

:34:55
I'm sorry, Wavey.
:34:58
You're always sorry.
:35:25
(crying softly)
:35:35
(footsteps approaching)
:35:39
You're looking dishy,
Quoyle.

:35:42
I'm afraid my offer
to let you stay in my trailer

:35:45
will have to be retracted.
:35:51
Sorry about that.
:35:55
And your boat.
:35:57
I'm some disgusted
with the human race.
