:57:04
Oh, come with it.
:57:12
After seeing Allie that day,
:57:14
something inside
Noah snapped.
:57:18
He got the notion
into his head
:57:19
that if he restored
the old house
:57:21
where they had
come that night,
:57:23
Allie would find a way
to come back to him.
:57:27
Some called it
a labor of love.
:57:29
Others called it
something else.
:57:32
But in fact,
Noah had gone a little mad.
:57:36
- Excuse me.
- Would...
:57:38
It's time to eat.
:57:40
Lunch will be served
in the Sun Room today.
:57:45
The melon is good.
I had a bite.
:57:49
Did they ever
see each other again?
:57:51
Noah and Allie?
:57:54
Now you don't want
me to spoil the end of the story
:57:56
before I get
to the good part, do you?
:57:59
Where did I leave off?
:58:01
I shall not want.
:58:03
When Noah's father
died in November,
:58:05
the house
was all he had.
:58:07
He leadeth me down...
:58:27
In time, Noah
finished the house.
:58:30
Okay, smile.
Here we go.
:58:35
He took a good look
at what he had accomplished,
:58:37
got rip-roaring drunk
for 10 days,
:58:40
thought seriously
about setting it on fire,
:58:44
then finally
put the house up for sale.
:58:46
I'm prepared
to offer you this much.
:58:50
He had a number
of interested buyers,
:58:52
but he always found a reason
not to sell it to them.
:58:54
No.
:58:56
Either the bids
were too low,
:58:58
or if they met
his asking price,
