1:24:01
OK. Snug as a bug in a rug.
1:24:07
You're just like your mama.
1:24:09
She used to love me
to tuck her in real tight.
1:24:14
I'm not like her.
We're different.
1:24:17
It's like we're
not even relatives.
1:24:19
Ah, well... yeah. Yeah.
I know what you mean.
1:24:25
Relatives are trouble.
I couldn't agree more.
1:24:29
I ever tell you about Walter,
my brother? No? Well...
1:24:34
What you have to go through
with your mama, the suffering,
1:24:37
that's what I had to suffer
with Walter.
1:24:40
One day, we were playing
down by the river,
1:24:43
and we came across the most
beautiful anthill you ever saw.
1:24:49
And bein' Walter,
he immediately kicked it...
1:24:52
and stomped on it, just
scattering it to the four winds.
1:24:56
I just started howling.
1:24:57
I was just...
I yelled for my mama.
1:25:00
I grabbed her
and dragged her down there,
1:25:02
just crying and carrying on.
1:25:05
Anyway, my mama was trying
to calm me down, so she said,
1:25:09
"Wait, wait. They're not
finished, not by a long shot."
1:25:13
And we waited and waited,
and sure enough,
1:25:16
those little black specks
started scurrying everywhere,
1:25:22
just working hard
to build their home back.
1:25:26
And I said, "Why did they do it?
I'd just give up.
1:25:28
I mean, it's hopeless."
1:25:31
And my mama said, "Yeah,
if there was just one ant.
1:25:35
"But there's lots of ants
down there.
1:25:37
"They're all relatives.
1:25:40
They're family,
just like we are."
1:25:43
Well, that's
what families are for.
1:25:46
That's why
they invented families...
1:25:48
so "hopeless"
didn't get the last word.
1:25:52
So if ants can do it,
I figure we can do it.
1:25:59
You know, my Birdee has a lot
more strength than she knows.
