No, I don't think this is gonna work out.

And I'll be honest with you,

I think I'm doing pretty good on my own.

If The Food Chain could put Country Baby

on every supermarket shelf in America...

...so can I.

I'm sorry.

I just think the rat race is gonna

have to survive with one less rat.

And anyway...

...I really think I'd miss

my 62 acres in Vermont.

I mean, Elizabeth is so happy there and...

And, well, you see,

there's this veterinarian that I'm seeing.

What did she say? She's a vegetarian?

- Do you realise what you're giving up?

- Yup.

There's nothing we can do

to change your mind?

Mmmm, nope.

- Hi. Is the doctor in?

- Sure, honey. Go on in.

Hi.

- Hi.

- You're back?

I am back!

- Well, how'd it go?

- It just wasn't that great a deal to me.

No? Didn't pan out?

No.

Too bad.

- Does this mean you'll be...

- What?

...hanging around Hadley?

- Yeah. Mm-hm.

So, if you're free tonight maybe you'd

like to come round and watch the farm.

- Sure.

- Yeah.

- I gotta get to bed kinda early.

- You do?

Oh, well, that's no problem.

Oh, hi. Sh, sh. Where is she?

(gasps)

Elizabeth.

Mama!

Hello.

What'd you do today? What'd you do?

What'd you do? Did you play?

Did you see your friends, did you?

Were you a good girl?
