I'd like to say

I wish this never happened

but I would be lying.

Coming here was the best thing

that's ever happened to us.

Where we live,

real friends are very hard to find.

Samuel, you told me to look

inside my heart to find forgiveness.

That's what we want you to do now.

For what it's worth, thank you.

I know I wasn't very good

at scrubbing floors,

but I really loved

spending time with you.

You English think you're so smart.

What?

Do you really think we didn't know?

Yes.

Then why didn't you say something?

Planting season.

We needed the extra help.

Besides, you looked like

you needed help, too.

But mostly... planting season.

Of course. The corn.

- Thank you.

- It's so good to see you.

Samuel, I still can't believe

I grew all this.

Yeah. Neither can l.

Um... before I go,

I'd like to give you something.

I know you can only use pocket watches.

I'd like you to have mine.

That is very kind, but in our Ordnung,

we don't accept gifts.

Samuel, this is the only thing I have

that's ever meant anything to me.

It was my grandfather's.

Well, I suppose we could barter.

Well, it is

a turn-of-the-century Swiss repeater.

What have you got?

How about a Swiss for a Belgian?

- Throw in some corn, it's a deal.

- Deal.

Don't open the back.

That was a great deal.

'97 Jag for a '54 Ford.

- He never saw it coming.

- Yeah, never.

- This has been quite a day, hasn't it?

- Yes, it has.

Came to say sorry to Sam,

did a good deed,

ended up with some feed and a steed.

And don't forget,

a basketful of schnitz pies.

- You're the schnitz pie.

- No, baby, you're the schnitz.

I think I just realised

why they call him Big John.

Would you let it go?

[Screams]

Here.

Brad!

[Shouts]

I think we finally found something

you're good at.

Ow!

- [Woman] Just a minute!

- Uh... excuse me.

I had debts. And needs.

Very expensive needs.

Fine wines. The Rolls. Special shoes.

I have high arches. It's very hard

to find a corrective shoe in a slip-on.

- Emma, I'll wait for you.

- Oh, good.

Brad, look out!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Ahem.

Look at this. It's dja vu.

- That's the same cow, isn't it?

- Yeah.

- And the same pond.

- You know what?

I bet I could get it for a good price.

And it'd be a terrific place

to raise the baby.

Yep.

What?
