1:32:05
They were just asked to keep
doing as they were doing.
1:32:08
In that way, he could make sure
the town would never die.
1:32:14
Within six months, his trust had
purchased the entire town.
1:32:19
With one exception.
1:32:45
You must be Edward Bloom.
1:32:48
How do you know?
1:32:50
No one would come out here
unless they had business.
1:32:53
And no one would have business
with me except for you.
1:32:56
You're buying the town.
1:32:59
Apparently l overlooked this one
piece of it, and l'd like to remedy that.
1:33:03
ln order for the town to be preserved,
the trust must own it, in its entirety.
1:33:08
And so l've heard.
1:33:09
l'll offer you more than it's worth.
And you won't have to move.
1:33:12
Nothing will change except the name
on the deed, you have my word.
1:33:16
Now, let me get this straight.
1:33:19
You buy the swamp from me,
but l'll stay in it?
1:33:22
You'll own the house,
but it'll still be mine?
1:33:24
l'll be here, and you'll come and go as
you please to one place or another.
1:33:28
Do l have that right?
1:33:30
ln so many words, yes.
1:33:33
Yeah, then l don't think so,
Mr. Bloom.
1:33:36
lf nothing's gonna change,
l'd just as soon it not change...
1:33:39
...in the way things haven't been
changing all this time.
1:33:43
lt's not like you'll lose anything.
You can ask anyone in town.
1:33:49
Why are you buying this land,
Mr. Bloom?
1:33:52
Some sort of midlife crisis?
1:33:54
lnstead of buying a convertible,
you buy a town?
1:33:57
Helping people makes me happy.
