:17:04
The heat had turned the soil among the gooseberry
bushes to stone, but Grace did not complain.
:17:10
She threw herself into her work,
:17:12
happy that it was something you could
actually grasp between your fingers.
:17:18
Hey, Liz!
Hey, Vera!
:17:19
Better watch out, Grace.
Vera's got it in for you today.
:17:23
What are you talking about?
:17:27
Maybe you thought he wouldn't tell me?
:17:32
Who?
:17:34
You hit Jason.
:17:39
I did.
:17:40
How could you do such a thing?
:17:43
I know it sounds implausible,
but he was asking for it.
:17:48
It's true, Vera. He's always asking for it.
:17:53
I should have done that myself
a long time ago.
:17:56
- Liz!
- It's your fault, the way you've spoiled him.
:17:59
I know how much you love him,
Vera. So do I...
:18:05
It won't happen again.
It really won't.
:18:09
No. I know it won't, because I'll
never leave them with you again.
:18:14
That'd be far too dangerous
for any child of mine.
:18:17
I've been tired.
:18:18
Well, maybe you should see about
sleeping at night, like most folks do.
:18:23
Sleeping at night?
:18:26
Martha saw a certain Tom Edison Jr.
sneak out of her shed early this morning.
:18:40
Grace, you won't hear anything from me
about whipping that idiot kid.
:18:43
And I'm also grateful to you for turning
Tom's wandering eye away from my skirts.
:18:48
But on the other hand, I'd expected
more from you than that.
:18:53
But if that's the kind of thing you're after,
then I'm sure, with your innocent look,
:18:56
you will do just fine
in a place like Dogville.
:18:59
- It's not what I'm after, Liz.
- Oh, no?
