00:08 All right, you!
You help my friend, okay?
00:07 And as we get close to the river...
00:07 And we have to take Glenville
to avoid traffic...
00:08 And I may not have much
00:06 And I mean...
00:13 And that's how it happens.
00:09 And then I realized
this wasn't the end of my life.
00:27 And what does Dr. Bennett say?
00:10 And what I recall of Sunday school was that
00:09 As the months passed, he found
more and more things to fix.....
00:18 But the real story
is how I got the car.
00:19 But you're wrong. I do know you.
00:13 - Bye, now.
- Bye, Edward.
00:24 Calm down. Calm down, everybody.
Calm down. That's enou...
00:11 Can I take your picture Oh you don't need a picture
00:12 Come, now.
00:16 Didn't kill anything, did I?
00:16 Didn't kill anything did I
00:06 Doggy! My doggy!
My doggy's trapped!
00:11 Don! I will never marry you.
00:12 Dr. Bennett said I have
to stay at home for a week.
00:19 Edward Bloom, first son of Ashton...
00:05 Every day a new adventure That's my motto
00:08 Friend.
00:16 From that moment on, I did everything
Mr. Calloway asked.
00:19 Glad to see you're not trying
to have a heartfelt talk.
00:14 Have you ever heard a joke so many times you've...
00:26 Hello.
01:28 Here
00:05 He's almost a stranger and I prefer him to you
00:07 He's here!
00:14 His birth would set the pace
for his unlikely life.
00:13 Hold!
00:31 How could you miss your cue?
00:24 I don't know if you saw it,
but Josephine had some phot...
00:05 I don't think I'll ever dry out
00:17 I don't want to eat you I don't want to eat...
00:17 I was drying out.
00:09 I felt like a fool to have trusted you
00:58 I just saw the woman I'm gonna marry
00:10 I realized I was in love with a man who could never love me...
00:09 I saw how I was gonna die.
I was old and I fell.
00:09 I was the biggest thing
Ashton had ever seen.
00:20 I was thinking about death and all About seeing how...
00:25 I was thinking about death and all.
About seeing how you...
00:12 I won't be selling you this house,
Mr. Bloom.
00:08 I'd like a moment of your time
to tell you about my new...
00:11 I'll talk to him.
See if I can get him to go.
00:12 I'm sorry, ma'am.
I am.
01:06 In telling the story of my father's life
00:10 Is it true she got a glass eye I heard she got it from...
00:12 It occurred to me then that perhaps the reason for my growth
00:25 It's Karl Karl
00:10 It's only three lines long.
00:06 It's rude to talk about religion You never know who...
00:05 - It's stuck.
- Yeah.
00:10 It's unbelievable.
00:10 It's unbelievable
00:10 I've been nothing but myself since the day I was born
00:42 I've been working on this poem for 12 years
00:11 Jenny thinks you're quite a catch.
We all do.
00:09 Josephine actually went
to the Congo last year.
00:27 Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls...
00:07 Ma'am, my name is Edward Bloom...
00:10 Mom?
00:16 Mr. Calloway?
01:17 My father and I never talk
00:16 My name is Edward Bloom,
and I wanna talk to you!
00:20 No, God!
00:28 Now, don't.
00:23 Now, there comes a point
when a reasonable man...
00:15 Of course, the best part
was coming up with the new material...
00:22 - Oh, I'm so sorry! l...
- It's okay. Just leave i...
02:29 Oh so you know
00:09 One day, Edward Bloom left...
00:31 People needn't worry so much It's not my time yet
00:10 Promise me you'll come back.
00:07 Sandra Templeton I love you and I will marry you
00:25 She likes music.
00:08 She likes music
00:08 She said that the biggest fish in the river
00:11 Sometimes the only way to catch an uncatchable woman
00:29 Tell me, Karl, have you ever heard
the term "involuntar...
00:07 Thank you!
00:10 That night, I discovered that most
things you consider evil ...
00:10 That night I discovered that most things you consider evil...
00:30 That night,
I reached two conclusions.
00:29 The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
00:17 The strange thing is, there's
not a sad face to be foun...
