Okay.
:25:03
Okay.
:25:04
Now, first, we gotta
get you ready for the city.
:25:24
Edward Bloom, first son of Ashton...
:25:28
...it's with a heavy heart
that we see you go.
:25:31
But take with you
this key to the city...
:25:34
...and know that any time
you want to come back...
:25:37
...all our doors are open to you.
:25:48
That afternoon as I left Ashton,
everyone seemed to have advice.
:25:52
Find yourself a nice girl, now!
:25:55
Watch your pride, Edward Bloom!
:25:58
But there was one person whose
counsel I held above all others.
:26:07
She said that the biggest fish
in the river...
:26:10
...gets that way
by never being caught.
:26:17
-What'd she say?
-Beats me.

There were two roads out of Ashton;
:26:34
A new one which was paved
and an older one that wasn't.
:26:36
People didn't use
the old one anymore...
:26:38
...and it had developed a reputation
for being haunted.
:26:41
Well, since I had no intention
of ever returning to Ashton...
:26:44
...this seemed as good a time as any
to find out what lay down that old one.
:26:49
-You know anyone who's taken it?
-That poet, Norther Winslow, did.
:26:54
He was going to Paris, France.
:26:56
l guess he liked it.
No one ever heard from him again.
