Sophia, I can't spend my life
doing soil tests for farmers.
426
00:35:55,656 --> 00:35:58,742
And I can't be left behind like some old bag.
427
00:36:01,495 --> 00:36:05,249
Look, as soon as the baby gets a little older,
you can come along, too.

00:36:10,754 --> 00:36:12,589
Why would I do that?
430
00:36:13,090 --> 00:36:14,675
That's what you say now.
431
00:36:14,758 --> 00:36:18,053
Sophia, this is crazy. Why would I run away?
432

441
00:37:15,027 --> 00:37:17,404
-What's that?
-It's a pond.
442
00:37:22,117 --> 00:37:23,410
For you.
443
00:37:24,077 --> 00:37:27,247
I thought you could wade around in it or...
444
00:37:27,831 --> 00:37:30,250
...keep fish in it, or whatever you want.
445
00:37:30,584 --> 00:37:32,669

Why'd you stop going?
451
00:38:26,598 --> 00:38:28,684

between the kitchen and the dining room.

-And you see this section here?
-Yeah.
