:36:01
Hooked? You sound so arrogant!
Arrogance is the worst thing!
:36:07
He doesn't like me.
:36:10
And he has every right to feel that way.
:36:12
Yeah. Listen!
Luckily I have prepared a Trojan horse.
:36:19
A what?
:36:20
Trojan horse.
We can get in by way of Vera.
:36:23
There is this.. lecture tomorrow
in Georgetown, given by some professor.
:36:31
Some intellectual thing.
:36:36
But not so intellectual he can't tour
the provinces with it, anyway, the point is,
:36:40
Vera she would do anything to go,
but she's got no one to mind Achilles while she is gone.
:36:46
She trusts the girls mastering their iambs
and pentameters, but not with the little one.
:36:51
So this is where you come in.
I said that you could watch him tomorrow afternoon.
:36:56
Now, I will try and stall her on her way home
and with a bit of luck, Chuck'll get back before she does
:37:03
and you can use the time and
all your charm to try and win him over.
:37:08
I'll happily mind Achilles if Vera will let me.
:37:11
But if he doesn't like me he doesn't like me.
:37:15
[Narrator] Tom really was enchanted by this
unusual, mysterious creature.
:37:21
And even though she did not satisfy
his curiosity by saying
anything about her past
:37:26
so as not to put anyone in danger,
she still fitted Tom's mission to educate Dogville
on the subject of acceptance like a glove.
:37:36
Tom felt content.
:37:38
Grace had been dangling over the edge,
and he had been the one to pull her back onto the path.
:37:43
It gave him a fine sensation of mastery,
new for him in terms of the opposite sex,
:37:49
and his feelings unleashed the best
in his burgeoning love.
