to have that.
888
01:20:13,918 --> 01:20:16,050
All my life,
I've wanted off this farm
889
01:20:16,085 --> 01:20:18,019
and you were my ticket out.
890
01:20:19,286 --> 01:20:20,890
So...
891
01:20:20,925 --> 01:20:24,289
I made sure to never let you
see who I really was.
892
01:20:24,324 --> 01:20:26,896
It worked like a charm, too.
893
01:20:26,931 --> 01:20:29,294
Then when you finally
brought me back
894
01:20:29,329 --> 01:20:31,098
to your home
to meet your family,
895
01:20:31,133 --> 01:20:32,561
it was just as I hoped.
896
01:20:34,367 --> 01:20:36,433
A life straight
out of the pictures.
897
01:20:38,305 --> 01:20:40,437
At least that's what
it felt like to me.
898
01:20:43,079 --> 01:20:44,243
And you didn't want it.
899
01:20:47,578 --> 01:20:49,347
You just wanted
to stay here on our farm,
900
01:20:49,382 --> 01:20:51,217
and that made me so angry.
901
01:20:52,352 --> 01:20:53,681
How could you?
902
01:20:53,716 --> 01:20:56,926
I'm certain you knew
I hated it, you must've.
903
01:20:56,961 --> 01:20:59,027
How could you be
so selfish and cruel
904
01:20:59,062 --> 01:21:01,095

with your baby.
907
01:21:13,978 --> 01:21:17,309
I never wanted
to be a mother.
908
01:21:17,344 --> 01:21:21,016
I loathed the feeling of it
growing inside me.
909
01:21:21,051 --> 01:21:22,611
It felt like sickness.
910
01:21:24,681 --> 01:21:28,584
Pulling and sucking on me like
some needy animal in a barn.
911
01:21:30,357 --> 01:21:32,621
How could I be responsible
for another life?
912
01:21:33,591 --> 01:21:35,492
Life terrifies me.
913
01:21:35,527 --> 01:21:38,363
It's harsh, and bleak,
and draining.
914
01:21:40,631 --> 01:21:43,104
I was so relieved
when it died.
915
01:21:43,139 --> 01:21:45,073
It was one less weight
keeping me trapped here,
916
01:21:45,108 --> 01:21:47,537
but then the war came
and you left me, too.
917
01:21:48,540 --> 01:21:50,672
Why did you leave me, Howard?

so maybe I can get better.

in the middle of the night

'cause what if this is it?

the bad things,

terrible, awful,
murderous things.
954

but I liked how they felt.

hurt me back.

from the picture house.
963

They were different.

They were more meaningful.
965
01:24:03,345 --> 01:24:05,180

didn't deserve that.
