Always talking about their Caribbean
cruises and electric toothbrushes.

:09:06
Sure, they have a big pool.
:09:08
- Go on, honey, finish packing.
- l will, in a minute.

:09:12
- Listen, if we miss that plane...
- Don't worry, l'll get you to the airport.

:09:19
My God, l forgot all about them.
:09:25
Go on, honey, finish packing.
:09:29
- lf we miss that plane...
- l will, in a minute.

:09:32
l could do it. l could really do it!
:09:32
l could do it. l could really do it!
:09:36
Do what, Neddy?
:09:38
Now with the Grahams'...
:09:40
...there's a string of pools that curves
clear across the county to our house.

:09:44
Well, look, the Grahams', the Lears',
the Bunkers'. Then over the ridge.

:09:49
A portage through the riding ring,
to the Hallorans' and the Gilmartins'.

:09:56
Then down the lane
to the Biswangers' and then...

:10:01
Wait, who's next? l can't think.
l had it a minute ago. Who is it?

:10:09
Who is it?
Who's next to the Biswangers'?

:10:12
- Shirley Abbott.
- Shirley Abbott.

:10:16
Across Route 424 to the recreation
center pool, up the hill and l'm home.

:10:30
Don't you see? l just figured it out.
lf l take a dogleg to the southwest...

:10:36
...l can swim home.
:10:39
Come on, Ned.
:10:43
- Why would you want to swim home?
- l don't get it.

:10:47
Pool by pool, they form a river
all the way to our house.

:10:52
l suppose you could put it that way.
Now, Neddy, why don't you sit down...

:10:58
...and have a drink
and then we'll all go to the Grahams'?
