How to Make an American Quilt Page #5

I'll study rocks.

You can swim down to the bottom of canyons.

Swim across the middle of old volcanoes.

Get me away from here.

Where you going this time?

They want to send me up to Colorado

to check out the site of a dam.

Pres, I'm not gonna raise this child alone.

You have to get a job in town.

Sophia, I can't spend my life

doing soil tests for farmers.

And I can't be left behind like some old bag.

Look, as soon as the baby gets a little older,

you can come along, too.

And before that,

how do I know you won't run off?

Why would I do that?

That's what you say now.

Sophia, this is crazy. Why would I run away?

Because it happens.

Are you gonna be away

for very long, Daddy?

Not so long, sweetheart.

Two or three weeks.

- I want to go to college.

- We can only afford to send one of you.

- It's more important for Pres Jr. to go.

- But I'm the oldest.

A girl doesn't have to go to college.

You can get married.

That's not what I want.

We don't always get what we want.

- What's that?

- It's a pond.

For you.

I thought you could wade around in it or...

... keep fish in it, or whatever you want.

I think it's deep enough.

What do you think about getting some goldfish?

Evie says she wants a goldfish.

Remember when you took me

to the swimming hole?

Why'd you stop going?

I became a wife, I guess.

Preston.

Pres?

Let's go down to the swimming hole.

Pres?

So, what happened?

He never came back.

Oh, look, Sam is here.

Hi.

Hi, Sam.

- So, how come you're here?

- I missed you.

I wanted to go over the house.

We've got plenty.

- Sam, are you staying to dinner?

- Sure.

Good.

Great.

If you'll have me.

Oh, yeah.

- Did you go swimming?

- Yeah.

I took this wall out here

between the kitchen and the dining room.

- And you see this section here?

- Yeah.

- That's for your office.

- No, I told you I want a separate room.

Yeah, I know.

I tried to work it out,

but the house really isn't big enough.

- What about this?

- That would be a guest room.

Well, screw the guests.

Let them sleep on the couch.

I just thought we should have an extra room...

...for whatever.

If we have a baby or for work space or...

- This is the baby's room?

- No, it's just a possible use of the space, is all.

You expect me to have babies right away?

No, I don't expect you to do anything.

You just said this is the baby's room.

Finn, we're just going over blueprints.

Okay.

Does that mean you don't want to have kids?

Not right now, no.

Do you mean not right now, or never?

Why is this something

I have to answer right now?

If you don't want to have kids,

we should talk about it.

Fine, Sam. But you know, this isn't something...
