Big Fish (2003) Edit

A few rabbits. But I think one of them was already dead.

A few years later, I added other products and other cities...

A hitch in the Army was up to three years at that point...

A man sees things differently at different times in his life.

A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories.

A new one which was paved and an older one that wasn't.

A new road had brought the outside world to Spectre...

A pleasure.

A very big fish.

After all this work to leave Ashton...

After all, a giant man can't have an ordinary sized life.

After all, no man can avoid reaching the end of his life.

After four months, Sandra had gotten over the worst of the nightmares.

After saying my goodbyes, I hopped three trains...

After that night, I didn't speak to my father again for three years.

After the war, the sons of Alabama returned home, looking for work.

All I knew was I'd been trying to catch that fish...

All right, everybody down!

All right, let's go!

All right, you! You help my friend, okay?

All right.

All the facts, none of the flavor.

All the physical activity had worsened a congenital valve defect.

All the same, I preferred to keep my bones unbroken.

Almost everywhere you looked, people were bankrupt.

And all you can eat buffets.

And as strange as his stories got...

And as we get close to the river...

And by the time I was born he was already a legend.

And close that curtain!

And for that, it was all the riches a man could ever want.

And four days without sleeping.

And from the first day I saw her until the day I die...

And he leaves us and goes to them.

And I believed you.

And I don't think he saw anything of himself in me.

And I like you.

And I like you.

And I may not have much...

And I mean...

And I met mine, almost.

And I pick you up...

And I started thinking maybe he's got this second life somewhere else.

And I suppose if I had to choose between the true version...

And I think you should talk to him.

And I'm...

And if I were to end up here, I would consider myself lucky.

And if you can't see that, it's your failing, not mine!

And in that way, he becomes immortal.

And it seems that while my heart belonged to Sandra...

And just as fast, he snapped clean through that line.

And no one would have business with me except for you.

And not one of us knew what was in store.

And on some level, I just presumed that he was...

And on the day you were born...

And one day...

And so I've heard.

And so it was no surprise that the Army believed I was dead.

And so the twins and I began our arduous journey...

And that's how it happens.

And that's just from the drawers.

And that's the real story of how you were born.

And that's true.

And that's true.

And that's...

And the story ended where it began.

And then I cast upriver.

And then I realized this wasn't the end of my life.

And then you hear it again and suddenly it's new.

And this here, being stuck in bed...

And we get in the wheelchair...

And we have to take Glenville to avoid traffic...

And what are we supposed to do when we get to America?

And what does Dr. Bennett say?

And what I recall of Sunday school was that...

And when I'd call, she'd say Dad was out driving or swimming in the pool.

And when I'm 38, you'll be 48. That's not much difference at all.

And you can save up to 40 percent off the original MSRP.

And you're here now, and that's what matters.

And you're Will.

Another family, another house.

Any of you got needs?

Apparently I overlooked this one piece of it, and I'd like to remedy that.

Armed with the foreknowledge of my own death...

As difficult as it was to reach Spectre, I was fated to get there eventually.

As for the girl...

As it had always been, this love was my salvation.

As it turned out, Sandra was able to keep her same date at the chapel.

As soon as my bones had settled in their adult configuration...

As soon as my bones had settled in their adult configuration...

As the months passed, he found more and more things to fix...

At least by reputation.

At night, the wind goes through the trees where you'd swear...

Because he's dying.

Because he's weak, he doesn't want to eat.

Because I'm destined to marry you.

Because the crow didn't say how it was gonna happen, just those words:

Because when you worked beside him...

Because, everything else, you'd know you could survive.

Bigger.

Blue dress?

Bob Hope?!

But Edward was not like most men.

But every other Friday, I put all the money I made...

But I hear it's terrible.

But I need you to tell me that I'm not crazy.

But I've traveled to the five corners of the world...

But if you were to walk through the jungle...

But it could kind of help you, couldn't it?

But it wasn't the custom then for men to be in the room for deliveries...

But it's all been worth it to see you here now...

But no one's ever left.

But on that day I had a revelation:

But take with you this key to the city...

But that's what kind of story this is.

But the next morning, my Aunt Stacy was dead.

But the real story is how I got the car.

But the truth is, I'm just not ready to end up anywhere.

But there was one person whose counsel I held above all others.

But you're wrong. I do know you.

But, then that's just me.

By the time the twins and I had got to Havana...

Calm down. Calm down, everybody. Calm down. That's enough.

Can we talk?

Children weren't allowed in the swamp on account of the snakes, spiders...

Coco! Coco! There they are.

College. She's going to college.

Come back here!

Come on, Will. Everyone loves that story!

Come, now.

Congratulations.

Dad, I have no idea who you are...

Dad, you're in no condition...

Dad?

Dad?

Dad...

Daffodils.

Daffodils.

Damn right you're not.

Damn, kid.

Did I want to deprive my son the chance...

Did you ever think that maybe you're not too big...

Didn't kill anything, did I?

Do I have that right?

Do I have to give it back to my mom?

Do you love him?

Do you love your father?

Doggy! My doggy! My doggy's trapped!

Don, stop!

Don! I will never marry you.

Don't be embarrassed. I should never have let you think that...

Dr. Bennett said I have to stay at home for a week.

Dr. Bennett. Oh, it's good to see you.

Drink half the can. I'll tell Mom you drank it all.

Drive home safely, everyone. Thank you for coming.

During the four weeks I was in the hospital...

Dying is the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

Each had the advantage over me.

Edward Bloom from Ashton.

Edward Bloom, first son of Ashton...

Edward Bloom!

Edward Bloom!

Edward, don't!

Edward?

Enjoy yourselves, enjoy yourselves.

Events. Stories.

Every day, a new adventure. That's my motto.

Every month you work for me...

Everyone is just so glad to see you...

Everyone loves my father. He's a very likable guy.

Everyone wins.

Everything but religion.

Exactly.

Excuse me.

Fate has a cruel way of circling around on you.

Fate has a way of circling back on a man...

Find yourself a nice girl, now!

Fish looks different to different people.

For one night, one night in your entire life...

For she had one glass eye which was said to contain mystical powers.

Forget it. Don't waste your time. She's out of your league.

Friend! Welcome to you!

Friend.

From that moment on, I did everything Mr. Calloway asked.

Get that wheelchair.

Give me back my ring!

Glad to see you're not trying to have a heartfelt talk.

Go! Go!

Go! Go!

Good, bad, everything. Just show me who you are for once.

Goodbye, everybody! Farewell! Adieu!

GUARD!

Have you ever heard a joke so many times you've forgotten why it's funny?

Having a kid changes everything.

He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

He leads me beside the quiet waters.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures.

He restores my soul.

He said to my mother:

He was a few years older than you.

He was going to Paris, France.

He would have told it wrong, anyway.

He'd passed up more $100 lures than any fish in Alabama.

He's almost a stranger, and I prefer him to you.

He's here!

He's impossible. He won't eat. Because he doesn't eat, he's weaker.

He's never told me a single true thing.

He's our poet laureate. Come on.

He's still here. Let me buy you a drink. I'll tell you all about it.

He's upstairs with your mom and Dr. Bennett.

Hearing this news, Norther was left with one conclusion:

Hell, I'll have him tell you!

Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Helping people makes me happy.

Her name...

Her neighbor drove her, on account of your father was away on business...

Here you are.

Here you go.

Here.

Here.

Hey, Dad? Hey, you want me to get the nurse?

Hey, Edward!

Hey, I need those.

Hey, kid.

Hey! Jenny!

Hey! Just slide that over.

Hi, Mom.

Hi. How are you feeling?

His birth would set the pace for his unlikely life.

His fellow workers called him El Penumbra. The Shadow.

Hold!

How are you gonna make it without your shoes?

How could you miss your cue?

How did you get so many?

How did you know my father?

How do you know?

How I go.

How what happens?

Hurry up! We haven't much time!

I agreed to spend the afternoon, if only to understand...

I agreed to spend the afternoon, if only to understand...

I am only seeing this little bit...

I believed your stories so much longer than I should have.

I called everywhere in five states.

I can get you bookings.

I could be gone for weeks at a time.

I could gut that fish and get my wedding ring back...

I didn't forget. I was just working on a tangent.

I didn't know what to do.

I didn't put any stock into such speculation or superstition.

I don't believe it.

I don't have a job, but I would have a job if you gave me one.

I don't know if you saw it, but Josephine had some photos...

I don't know if you're aware of this, Josephine...

I don't know that story, Dad. You never told me that one.

I don't suppose that I could...

I don't think I'll ever dry out.

I don't want to eat you. I don't want to eat anybody.

I finally told my father, but he said:

I followed that fish upriver and downriver.

I got him!

I guess he liked it. No one ever heard from him again.

I guess I'm saying I'd like to know.

I had made it all the way to the G's...

I have photos of the wedding to show you.

I have the rest of my life to find out.

I have to leave.

I have to meet somebody, and I'm already running late.

I heard if you look right at it, you'll see how you're gonna die.

I heard she keeps it in a box on her night table. Or are you too scared?

I just get so hungry. I'm just too big.

I just saw the woman I'm gonna marry.

I just want to know the true versions of things:

I kind of liked your version.

I knew it when I saw you at the circus, and I know it now more than ever.

I knew then that while my days as a criminal were over...

I know every punch line, Dad. I can tell them as well as you can!

I know her uncle. Friends of the family.

I know someone who hasn't.

I know the biggest man in show business.

I know why everyone likes him.

I know why you like him.

I like your stories.

I like your stories.

I like your stories.

I love Spectre...

I mean, I'd be tempted to eat them myself.

I mean, on one hand, if dying was all you thought about...

I mean, you think this town is too small for you?

I need to lie down for a bit.

I need your help. Tell me how it starts.

I promise. Someday. When I'm really supposed to.

I promised I wouldn't.

I protested, but he said it was my fee as his career advisor.

I really just don't want anyone to get hurt.

I said, go away!

I said, you're quite a catch.

I saw an iceberg once.

I saw France, Africa, half of South America.

I saw how I was gonna die. I was old and I fell.

I saw my death in that eye, and this isn't how it happens.

I see.

I see.

I should go to Wall Street. That's where all the money is.

I speak mine out, you write yours down. Same thing.

I spent a week in Morocco for the story. It was incredible.

I talked with your father last night.

I think I'll get started on these dishes.

I think I'll go check on him.

I think we ought to get you a plant mister...

I thought you said you didn't have a church wedding.

I told Norther about the vagaries of Texas oil money...

I told them it was the only way to get my wife to marry me.

I want to see pictures of your wedding. I've never seen any.

I want you to know, when you left Spectre, it opened my eyes.

I wanted to be as important to him as you were.

I was 18. He was 28. Turns out that was a big difference.

I was astonished to see the greatest poet of both Ashton and Spectre...

I was expecting to dance around this for another half hour.

I was gonna have to use something he truly desired.

I was living in a fairy tale.

I was make believe.

I was never gonna be.

I was never much for being at home, Will. Too confining.

I was so scared, I woke up my parents...

I was the biggest thing Ashton had ever seen.

I was thinking about death and all. About seeing how you're gonna die.

I was wrong about you, kid.

I wasn't aware that she belonged to anyone.

I wasn't old at all.

I will. I will. I'll call.

I won't be selling you this house, Mr. Bloom.

I won't have mob violence in this town.

I'd go three days without stopping to eat.

I'd just left Spectre and was on my way to discover my destiny.

I'd just left Spectre and was on my way to discover my destiny.

I'd just left Spectre and was on my way to discover my destiny.

I'd just left Spectre and was on my way to discover my destiny.

I'd like a moment of your time to tell you about my new product...

I'll be here, and you'll come and go as you please to one place or another.

I'll cut through here, and I'll meet you on the far side.

I'll do it.

I'll find that girl, marry her, and spend the rest of my life with her.

I'll go in right now and get that eye.

I'll help you.

I'll offer you more than it's worth. And you won't have to move.

I'll stay.

I'll talk to him. See if I can get him to go.

I'll tell you what. You go the other way.

I'm 8. That means when I'm 18, you'll be 28.

I'm a footnote in that story, Dad...

I'm about to have...

I'm afraid so.

I'm glad I know.

I'm going with you.

I'm gonna be cleaning out the cash drawers...

I'm gonna spend the rest of my life looking for her. That or die alone.

I'm in love with my wife.

I'm just trying to reconcile the two.

I'm not convinced you should be happy.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I'm not sure I should've told you any of this.

I'm robbing this place.

I'm sorry to have bothered you.

I'm sorry, Jenny. I am.

I'm sorry, kid. I don't do charity. Come on, big boy.

I'm sorry, ma'am. I am.

I'm the luckiest person you'll find today.

I'm trying to make a metaphor here.

I've been nothing but myself since the day I was born.

I've been shot, stabbed, and trampled a few times. I broke my ribs twice.

I've been working on this poem for 12 years.

I've heard in real cities there are buildings so tall...

I've just had the worst day of my life.

I've seen a picture of you. That's how I recognize you.

I've seen him with women. He flirts. He always has.

I've spent the last three years working to find out who you are.

I've told you a thousand facts, Will. That's what I do, I tell stories!

If I go back, they'll think I'm a coward.

If nothing's gonna change, I'd just as soon it not change...

If that fish was Henry Walls' ghost, then the usual bait wasn't gonna work.

If that's what you want, I swear to it.

If there was one thing you can say about Edward Bloom...

If there's one thing you could say about Edward Bloom...

If you ain't gonna stop him, mayor, we will.

If you found this deed, why didn't you just ask Eddie?

If you'd just get it over with quick, because I'm not much for pain, really.

If you're so sure, go get that eye.

In case he wakes up, I really ought to be here.

In her letters and Christmas cards, my mother wrote for both of them.

In order for the town to be preserved, the trust must own it, in its entirety.

In so many words, yes.

In telling the story of my father's life...

In that way, he could make sure the town would never die.

Instead of buying a convertible, you buy a town?

Is he gonna be okay?

Is it the medicine that's making you thirsty?

It doesn't always make sense, and most of it never happened.

It means when you dream about something that's gonna happen.

It occurred to me then that perhaps the reason for my growth...

It truly is.

It turned out that the Savings & Loan had already been robbed...

It was a perfect delivery. Your father was sorry not to be there.

It was destined to be.

It was during the war.

It was enough to buy my wife a proper house...

It was fat with eggs it was gonna lay any day.

It was on that night Karl met his destiny.

It won't be complicated, but it won't be interesting, either.

It would kill me if he went through his whole life...

It would kill you, huh?

It's a boy.

It's bad?

It's been a month today.

It's common knowledge that most towns of a certain size have a witch...

It's Don. Promise you won't hurt him.

It's Edward Bloom. I need to talk to you.

It's got your deposit slip on it.

It's just...

It's me, Norther Winslow.

It's not a woman. It's a fish. No one ever catches her.

It's not like you'll lose anything. You can ask anyone in town.

It's not that they're faster or stronger than other fish.

It's not that.

It's only three lines long.

It's rude to talk about religion. You never know who you're gonna offend.

It's unbelievable.

It's your mother.

Jenny thinks you're quite a catch. We all do.

Jenny!

Josephine actually went to the Congo last year.

Josephine?

Josephine?

Just as charming and just as fake.

Just look up the word handsome in the dictionary.

Just to be sure, you can take my pack.

Just yourself.

Kept in a small bowl, the goldfish will remain small.

Kept looking around, waiting for something to drop on his head.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Colossus!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Larry Puckett's Chevrolet lets the customer do the talking.

Larry Puckett's GM certified vehicles are under factory warranty.

Last person we had from Ashton was Norther Winslow.

Leave it! We don't need it!

Let me guess. Real pretty?

Let's get started.

Let's go!

Let's see what you got from the vault.

Life will do that to you. And truthfully, the long way is easier.

Like one night, I had a dream...

Like this.

Listen, Kenny, why don't we skip the lesson today?

Logically, you couldn't be the witch, because she was...

Look at us. We're talking fine.

Look, hey...

Look, I don't know how much you want to know about any of this.

Look!

Look.

Lucky girl.

Ma'am, my name is Edward Bloom...

Me, Ruthie, Wilbur Freely...

Mom and Josephine are at the end.

Mom?

Mom?

Monkey in a Barn, or Dog in the Road?

Most men in that situation would accept their failure and move on.

Most times a person grows up gradually...

Mr. Calloway?

Mr. Calloway?

Mr. Soggybottom, come down this here...

Music. She likes music.

My arms are a little stringy, but there's some good eating in my legs.

My daddy said it looked like the coon dog he had when he was a kid...

My father and I never talk.

My father talked about things he never did...

My muscles and my bones couldn't keep up with my body's ambition.

My name is Edward Bloom, and I wanna talk to you!

My wedding ring, the symbol of fidelity to my wife...

My wife, Josephine.

Never gets too hot, too cold, too humid.

Never really known why.

No longer than most men's, but larger.

No one would come out here unless they had business.

No time to explain! Stall them!

No time to explain! Stall them!

No, God!

No, I'm sorry I'm engaged to be married.

No, no, no, I wanted to know. I'm...

No, she was old and probably senile.

No, sure, I'll talk to him.

No.

No.

No. No, ladies and gentlemen...

No. Wait!

Norther!

Not everything your father says is a complete fabrication.

Not knowing what that would be exactly...

Not that. The real story. He ever tell you that?

Not to alarm you, ma'am, but if this man wanted to...

Not very exciting, is it?

Not yet.

Nothing except the clothes on your back.

Nothing will change except the name on the deed, you have my word.

Now, don't.

Now, first, we gotta get you ready for the city.

Now, has someone tried talking to him?

Now, I tied my ring onto the strongest line they made...

Now, I was in a situation.

Now, I'd tried everything on it:

Now, I'm not going anywhere until you show yourself!

Now, I'm sorry, but... Well, goodbye.

Now, it says here you're from Ashton, right?

Now, let me get this straight.

Now, son, I already told you. You're early.

Now, tell me if that isn't the best pie you ever ate.

Now, there comes a point when a reasonable man...

Now, this took place in the swamp outside of Ashton.

Now, which one's it gonna be?

Now, you may well ask...

Of course, the best part was coming up with the new material.

Oh, come on! I can't go back! I'm a human sacrifice!

Oh, darling, darling, it's still your night.

Oh, darn.

Oh, here! Here you are, right here. Edward Bloom.

Oh, I don't usually remember...

Oh, I was dreaming.

Oh, not to worry. But I could see he was rattled.

Oh, so you know.

Oh, someone stole my backpack.

Oh, that really happened?

Oh, that's nothing. Once, I had to stay in bed for three years.

Oh, tough break.

Oh, trust me, he'll have to try.

Oh, you're not.

Oh, you're only seeing down to my nose? My chin? My...

Oh. So this is a tall tale.

Oh. We'll have to pick up a copy.

Okay, go.

Okay, okay. The thing about icebergs is you only see 10 percent.

Okay, so it's in the morning...

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Hey, okay, I'll try.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Thank you. Yeah.

Once we get off this floor, we're in the clear.

One day, Edward Bloom left...

One night, he was returning from three weeks on the road...

One of my greatest annoyances is when...

One such fish was The Beast.

Only on the surface, Dad. But it's all I've ever seen.

Only the groom had changed.

Or maybe there is no second family. Maybe he never wanted a family.

Or, or...

Orderly after orderly is chasing us.

Others claimed he was a dinosaur left over from the Cruaceous Period.

Over the months, I learned a lot about the woman I would marry...

Over the months, I learned a lot about the woman I would marry...

Over the months, I learned a lot about the woman I would marry...

Over the months, I learned a lot about the woman I would marry...

Over the next hour, I described my love for Sandra K. Templeton...

People didn't use the old one anymore...

People needn't worry so much. It's not my time yet.

Please, I need your help.

Please?

Pleased to meet you.

Probably just as well.

Promise me you'll come back.

Put simply, his heart wasn't strong enough.

Ready?

Really?

Really?

Really?

Reddish blondish hair?

Roses are red Violets are blue

Sandra Templeton, I love you, and I will marry you!

Sandra!

Screw.

See, I'm actually engaged to a boy from Ashton. Don Price.

See, to him there's only two women:

See? So he was a giant.

See? The big guy likes it.

Semester's almost over, so you better hurry.

She became something of a legend herself.

She goes to Auburn.

She likes music.

She makes soap out of people.

She said that the biggest fish in the river...

She'll make soap out of you. That's what she does.

She's going to college.

So after three years, there was a lot of undelivered mail.

So as you can see, if we apply these rules to our everyday life...

So first he bought the farms.

So he said he'll fight the giant who was 15 feet tall!

So how does it happen?

So I guess, well...

So I spent the better part of three years confined to my bed...

So I took every hazardous assignment I could find...

So I took every hazardous assignment I could find...

So I traveled.

So why are you wasting your time in a small town?

So you can eat me.

So, what do you say? Join me?

So...

Some said that fish was the ghost of a thief...

Sometimes the only way to catch an uncatchable woman...

Son.

Stick together, that's the way it's gonna be.

Stop it!

Stop it! It's not funny.

Stories are what you tell a 5 year old at bedtime.

Sure is a lot now, though, huh?

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.

Surprise ending. Wouldn't want to ruin it for you.

Take a look at the next graph, and the import of this will be even stronger...

Tell me how it happens.

Tell me, Karl, have you ever heard the term involuntary servitude?

Tell your men not to bother us!

Terrible for her, but think about me, young boy with that kind of power.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks for the hand!

That afternoon as I left Ashton, everyone seemed to have advice.

That creature could crush you without trying.

That night, I discovered that most things you consider evil or wicked...

That night, I reached two conclusions.

That time had come. I couldn't wait any longer.

That was my father's final joke, I guess.

That was the lesson I learned that day...

That would explain the indigestion.

That's all he needed. He sold them on the dream.

That's because most of it never happened.

That's because we didn't have a proper wedding.

That's bull S H l T, that is. She's not even a real witch.

That's great, Norther. I'm happy for you.

That's how I go.

That's just wonderful.

That's terrible.

The auction today is for the town of Spectre.

The Beast jumped up and grabbed it before it even hit the water.

The best I can do is to tell it the way he told me.

The circus. The war.

The first thing you have to understand...

The first time, he was early.

The gun.

The last part is much more unusual.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

The maple tree and the Buick? We've heard it.

The next morning, he wasn't himself.

The one about the witch.

The one about the witch.

The one about the witch.

The other 90 percent is below the water where you can't see it.

The poet? Whatever happened to him?

The river?

The river.

The second time, he was late.

The second was that I was hopelessly and irrevocably lost.

The story of my life.

The strange thing is, there's not a sad face to be found.

The town decided to send a human sacrifice and I volunteered.

The town of Spectre. Best kept secret in Alabama!

The truth is, I didn't see anything of myself in my father.

The truth is, I was never a reasonable man.

Then he bought the houses. And then he bought the stores.

Then I say:

Then when I realized everything you said was impossible...

Then you spend years trying to corrupt and mislead this child...

There are some fish that cannot be caught.

There is a great one of you and my father.

There was a time when I was 11...

There was a whole life out there that I was not living.

There were five of us out there that night:

There were two roads out of Ashton:

There's a lot of expectation. I don't wanna disappoint my fans.

There's a time when a man needs to fight...

There's leeches in there.

There's no money.

There's only one I want.

There's something you should know. The reason they don't have money...

There's the diapers and the burping and the midnight feeding.

These woods would become my graveyard.

They both had completely different characters but...

They didn't count on there being an elephant frozen inside.

They don't. I don't love that story. Not anymore. Not after a thousand times!

They live on after him.

They only had Edward's words to describe it.

They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops.

They were alive, while I was officially deceased.

They were hauling it down to Texas for drinking water.

They were just asked to keep doing as they were doing.

They're just touched by something extra.

They're not elaborate mythologies that you maintain...

This fish, The Beast...

This girl, the love of your life...

This is it? The whole vault?

This is not how I go.

This is why you should never show a work in progress.

This isn't how I die.

This ladyfish and I...

This morning, the milkman dropped dead on the porch.

This town didn't seem the same now that he was older.

This town is more than any man could ask for.

Those days, your father was working for himself.

Those parrots talk about everything. Politics, movies, fashion.

Tigers, go!

Tonight.

True to form, we never talked about not talking.

True to his word...

Trust me on that.

Truth is, I've always been a fool.

Truth is, I've been thirsty my whole life.

Truth is, no one quite knew what was wrong.

Try to get him to drink one of these. He won't, but go ahead and try.

Turn off your flashlights. She'll see you!

Twice.

Unfortunately, there was no way to send a message back to America.

Until one day, a stranger arrived.

Wait! Edward.

Wait. Look, I'll work night and day for you...

Wasn't three weeks later when the crow came back to me in a dream...

Watch your pride, Edward Bloom!

Water. I need water.

We all knew it would be dangerous.

We can go again next week.

We come flying out over the curb...

We communicated indirectly, I guess.

We pass Dr. Bennett, who tries to slow us down.

We put together an elaborate plan for escape...

We were all set to, but there was a complication.

We were like strangers who knew each other very well.

We weren't expecting you yet.

We're completely bankrupt. Don't tell anybody.

We're storytellers, both of us.

Well, can I ask you a question?

Well, everything tastes better here. Even the water is sweet.

Well, he left home early and was gone a long time.

Well, I do want you to leave, Karl. But I want to leave with you.

Well, I have a whole backpack full of clothes.

Well, I just didn't want you leaving empty handed.

Well, I suspect it will hurt. A lot.

Well, I won't tell her if you won't.

Well, it's logical if you think like your father.

Well, it's not a short one.

Well, it's too small for a man of my ambition.
