:20:07
She ain't done it.
:20:09
I put it down for her.
You'll have to come back tomorrow.
:20:12
Where can I get a team weekdays?
I'll have to wait till Saturday.
:20:16
But if it ain't done then,
I'm going somewheres else.
:20:18
It'll be ready. I'll make her remember.
:20:20
How can you expect a dimwit
to use her head?
:20:31
What's all this? What is it?
:20:36
Water, ocean.
:20:39
Ocean.
:20:45
What's got into you?
I write it all down for you.
:20:48
Here, it's as plain as the nose on your face.
:20:53
Oh. Well, I guess I forgot.
:20:57
Look.
:21:04
Well, I was wondering.
She never makes a mistake.
:21:09
Did you ever think
of sending her to school?
:21:11
School?
:21:12
She's deaf and dumb, man.
There's no teaching her nothing.
:21:15
Here's the extent of her learning.
I make a sign at the top of each page.
:21:20
A cross for Pacquet,
a circle for McCormick...
:21:23
two lines for the McQuiggens and so on.
:21:25
A mark for each bag.
:21:28
I put them down when they come in,
she strikes them off when they're ready.
:21:31
She's learned to identify every man
by his mark.
:21:35
Must be over 40 names in this book
and she knows every one of them.
:21:38
So that shows, Mr. MacDonald,
that your daughter is an intelligent girl.
:21:42
Now, there's a special school
for the deaf at McGill.
:21:45
Schools cost money...
:21:46
and money don't grow on trees
in this country.
:21:50
We're lucky to keep body
and soul together, we farmers.
:21:54
I couldn't spare her. Thanks.
:21:57
There's work enough around here as it is.
:21:59
But she could be taught, I'm sure of it.
What's her name?
