But you don't like Chuck.
:23:04
Liz and Martha are behind me, when I tell you
that I'm going to have to teach you a lesson.
:23:09
I believe in education.
:23:15
Vera!
:23:16
No. I believe smashing them is

:23:23
Vera.. remember how I taught your children..
:23:27
- What?
- Remember how happy you were, when I...
:23:31

- When I taught your children

:23:34
and they finally understood it.
:23:38

:23:41
I'm going to break two of your figurines first,
:23:47

[Narrator] In her lifetime Grace had
considerable practice at constraining her emotions,
:24:19
and would never have believed
it would be hard to control them now.
:24:24
But as the porcelain pulverized on the floor
it was as if it were human tissue disintegrating.
:24:32
The figurines were the offspring of

township and her.
:24:37
They were the proof that in spite of everything,
her suffering had created something of value.
:24:44
Grace could not longer cope.
:24:48
For the first time since her childhood,
she wept.
