to have that.
888
01:20:13,923 --> 01:20:16,055
All my life,
I've wanted off this farm
889
01:20:16,090 --> 01:20:18,024
and you were my ticket out.
890
01:20:19,291 --> 01:20:20,895
So...
891
01:20:20,930 --> 01:20:24,294
I made sure to never let you
see who I really was.
892
01:20:24,329 --> 01:20:26,901
It worked like a charm, too.
893
01:20:26,936 --> 01:20:29,299
Then when you finally
brought me back
894
01:20:29,334 --> 01:20:31,103
to your home
to meet your family,
895
01:20:31,138 --> 01:20:32,566
it was just as I hoped.
896
01:20:34,372 --> 01:20:36,438
A life straight
out of the pictures.
897
01:20:38,310 --> 01:20:40,442
At least that's what
it felt like to me.
898
01:20:43,084 --> 01:20:44,248
And you didn't want it.
899
01:20:47,583 --> 01:20:49,352
You just wanted
to stay here on our farm,
900
01:20:49,387 --> 01:20:51,222
and that made me so angry.
901
01:20:52,357 --> 01:20:53,686
How could you?
902
01:20:53,721 --> 01:20:56,931
I'm certain you knew
I hated it, you must've.
903
01:20:56,966 --> 01:20:59,032
How could you be
so selfish and cruel
904

I never wanted
to be a mother.
908
01:21:17,349 --> 01:21:21,021
I loathed the feeling of it
growing inside me.
909
01:21:21,056 --> 01:21:22,616
It felt like sickness.
910
01:21:24,686 --> 01:21:28,589
Pulling and sucking on me like
some needy animal in a barn.
911
01:21:30,362 --> 01:21:32,626
How could I be responsible
for another life?
912
01:21:33,596 --> 01:21:35,497

913
01:21:35,532 --> 01:21:38,368
It's harsh, and bleak,
and draining.
914

I was so relieved
when it died.
915
01:21:43,144 --> 01:21:45,078
It was one less weight
keeping me trapped here,
916
01:21:45,113 --> 01:21:47,542
but then the war came
and you left me, too.
917
01:21:48,545 --> 01:21:50,677

in the middle of the night

murderous things.

from the picture house.
963

They were different.

They were more meaningful.
965

didn't deserve that.
