:23:03
And I've known his heart
for as long las it's been beating.
:23:16
[Narrator] No more words were spoken
at the town meeting in the mission house.
:23:20
But it had been decided, they all felt,
that the fugitive would be given two weeks.
:23:26
And they would all be able to look
at themselves in the mirror and know
:23:29
that they had done what they could, indeed,
and perhaps more than most people would have done.
:23:37
So that very afternoon Tom took Grace on a stroll
down Elm Street to introduce her to the town "he loved".
:23:46
Well, this is where Olivia and June live.
:23:50
June is a cripple...
They live here as a token of my dad's broadmindedness.
:23:56
Chuck and Vera have seven children
and they hate each other.
:24:00
Next door we have the Hensons.
They make a living from grinding edges off
cheap glasses to try to make them look expensive.
:24:08
And here we have Jack McKay.
Now, Jack McKay is blind and the whole town knows it.
:24:13
But he thinks he can hide it
by never leaving his house.
:24:18
In the old stable Ben keeps his truck.
:24:20
He drinks and he visits the whorehouse
once a month and he is ashamed of it.
:24:27
Martha she runs the mission house
until the new preacher comes which will just never happen.
:24:34
That leaves Ma Ginger and Gloria.
They run this really expensive store,
:24:41
where they exploit the fact
that nobody leaves town.
:24:45
Used to leave to go vote,
but since they put on the registration fee,
:24:50
about a day's wage for these people,
they don't feel the democratic need any more.
:24:59
Those awful figurines say more about
the people in this town, than many words.
