1:01:00
I might even have to revise
my theories a little bit.
1:01:03
You know how much I hate
doing that kind of thing.
1:01:08
You know, Grace, last night when I came back
and I saw you lying there asleep so sweetly,
1:01:16
I was suddenly inspired.
I wrote the first chapter of a story.
1:01:22
A story about a small town.
1:01:25
Guess where I got the inspiration?
1:01:27
But I haven't come up with a name
for the town yet.
1:01:31
- Why not just call it Dogville?
- Wouldn't work.

1:01:57
Two people only hurt each other if they
doubt the love they have for one another.

You sit down some place
and gaze out at the mountains.
1:02:11
It's what the girl in my novel does.
1:02:16
- I'll see you later.
- I'll see you. Good news!
1:02:25
[Narrator] Sensibly, Grace chose to hope
for the best rather than fear the worst,
1:02:29
and planned to spend the day calmly
washing her clothes and herself,
1:02:33
which, for some reason or another, she was sure
none of the characters from Tom's
fictitious township would dream of doing.
1:02:44
And then it was as if Dogville just waited.
1:02:49
Even the wind dropped,
leaving the town in an unfamiliar calm.
1:02:55
as if somebody had put a large
cheese dish cover over it,
