You can, you can,

you can do it! You have to!

You have to do it.

We have no other choice!

Jonathan, let me try.

I can do it. Let me try. Wait.

Jonathan, what are you doing?

Jonathan, we have to try!

We have to try!

- It's no use.

Stay with me for a second,

please.

- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- Hey..

You are the bravest person

that I've ever known.

I'm glad you're my friend.

I am very glad to have met you.

You are, you're the best friend

I've ever..

You're the best friend

I've ever had.

Loving so deeply.

Your father and his farm..

Even your chicken.

- Happy.

This can't be the ending,

Jonathan

not that

I, I want a happy ending.

- Okay?

- Yeah.

- What was that?

- I don't know.

- Gitty?

Gitty!

Ethel, we're inside!

Gitty, what are you doing

up there?

Get down from there,

that's dangerous! Honey.

- Oh, god.

Thank, god, Gitty.

- Honey, what are doing?

You got to get down from there.

- Aw!

- Ethel, run!

Run!

- Gitty, what's happening?

Gitty!

- Come on. Come on. Sh*t!

- Martin, no!

- This is your fault, Gitty!

She's here because of you!

- Gitty.

Martin. Hey, it's a girl!

Martin. Gitty.

- Come out, Gitty.

Come out, come out,

wherever you are.

I'm gonna kill you

just like I killed

your f***in' chicken.

Tasted real good, didn't it?

I could just tell everyone.

I'll tell everyone

that he killed you both.

- Ugh!

- Ah-ah!

- Don't move, Martin.

- Come on, Gitty, you wouldn't

shoot me, would you?

There's two types of people

in this world

you gotta choose what kind of

person you're gonna be.

Ah!

- Stop!

Stop!

Stop right there!

- Dad, no!

- It's morning again in America.

Today more men and women will

go to work than ever before

in our country's history.

Nearly 2000 families today

will buy new homes.

- Hi, Gitty.
