:50:03
This is the first one I grew.
:50:07
Now I'm not saying
that this boat

:50:09
you have built isn't worthy.
:50:10
From the looks of it,
:50:12
you've done a mighty fine job.
:50:14
But for the sake of my job,
let's just say

:50:18
it doesn't.
:50:20
Doesn't what?
:50:22
Your boat doesn't float.
:50:24
Imagine this, if you will.
:50:25
One day,
:50:27
a town on the plains,
let's say Northfork,

:50:30
was hit by a catastrophic flood,
:50:32
similar to
the days of Noah,

:50:35
and you husband
and yourselves

:50:36
are standing out there on
the roof waiting to be rescued.

:50:39
A friendly neighbor
:50:40
comes paddling by in
his little wooden boat,

:50:43
and he yells, "Hey, there,
Mr. and Mrs. Stalling,

:50:45
"and... uh, Mrs. Stalling,
:50:47
jump on in
and I'll take you to dry land."

:50:51
What do you say?
:50:52
I don't know.
:50:54
The water's rising.
:50:55
You shout back,
:50:56
"No, thank you,
thy friendly neighbor.

:50:58
I'm waiting
for a sign from God."

:51:01
No, thank you.
:51:02
I'm waiting for a sign from God.
:51:06
Yes, exactly.
:51:07
And your friendly neighbor
paddles away.

:51:13
A few days later
:51:15
a state rescue team
comes by in a larger boat.

:51:19
And let's just say
:51:21
me and Willis are on board.
:51:24
And we offer you the same deal.
:51:28
"Jump on in,
:51:30
"and you, Mrs. Stalling
and... Mrs. Stalling,

:51:34
will be saved."
:51:36
And you say...
:51:41
No, thank you.
:51:42
We're waiting
for a sign from God.

:51:46
A few more days pass,
:51:49
and the water level has risen.
:51:52
It has risen above the roof.
:51:56
And unfortunately,
:51:58
you and Mr. Stalling
have drowned
