[00:00.805] Rose: Dear Eden,
[00:02.135] how are you?
[00:03.287] I know it’s been a while,
[00:04.214] but I’m going to be in town this weekend,
[00:05.625] and I was hoping to see you.
[00:07.386] Can we meet somewhere?
[00:08.546] Eden: Dear Rose,
[00:09.588] you flaming trash heap of a sister.
[00:11.860] No word from you for over a year,
[00:13.431] and you just appear and demand an audience?
[00:15.831] Rose: Dear Eden,
[00:16.767] nice to hear from you again too!
[00:18.927] How does coffee on Sunday morning sound?
[00:21.048] Eden: Dear Rose,
[00:22.150] you’re lucky I have a heart of gold.
[00:24.087] I can be there at 11
[00:25.504] Rose: Dear Eden,
[00:26.623] see you then!
[00:34.580] Eden: So, um.
[00:36.469] What brings you back into town?
[00:38.148] Rose: Actually, I’ve been looking all over for this book we had called “In My Garden."
[00:42.713] You didn’t hang onto it somehow, did you?
[00:44.642] Eden: “In My Garden?”
[00:46.113] What are you talking about?
[00:48.816] Rose: At bedtime for years, mom would read us this story
[00:52.530] Of a girl who lived all on her own
[00:56.208] She played everyday in a magical garden
[00:59.947] Full of flowers and trees that she’d grown
[01:03.535] I memorized all of the plants in her garden
[01:07.503] Before mom stopped reading each night
[01:11.271] You may not remember a lot of the flowers
[01:14.845] Eden: (Please don’t tell me you’re about to—)
[01:15.872] Rose: So I’ll list out a few that you might
[01:17.866] Violets, daisies, lilacs, lilies
[01:20.982] Hyacinths, azaleas
[01:24.075] Roses—her favorite kind of seed
[01:25.835] Eden: Oh, really
[01:26.761] Rose: And at the end mom, without fail
[01:28.755] Eden: ‘cause mom would NEVER fail us
[01:30.285] Rose: Would read (the following passage out loud:
[01:33.218] In my garden, dreams come true
[01:37.010] There’s nothing here that I can’t do
[01:40.730] Every day brings new delight
[01:45.491] In my garden, the future is bright
[01:49.754] Eden: Rose, I love you,
[01:51.225] but why do you always do this?
[01:52.621] Rose: Do what?
[01:53.603] Eden: You came here looking for a picture book?
[01:55.608] Don’t you have things to take care of at school?
[01:57.545] Rose: I just thought—
[01:58.283] Eden: Did you think?
[01:59.257] Do you ever think?
[02:00.361] Hey, you have a good memory—
[02:01.803] Do you remember those rose-patterned sneakers
[02:05.465] You wore every day at age nine?
[02:09.193] When it rained, you refused to wear actual rain boots
[02:12.938] ‘cause you loved things with floral designs?
[02:16.826] You got sick after splashing through too many puddles
[02:20.491] The pneumonia gave us a scare
[02:24.383] I sat by your bedside and waited and waited
[02:30.923] All the time that our mom wasn’t there
[02:32.659] It’s exhausting, you’re still lost in
[02:35.668] Your imagination
[02:38.771] I can’t protect you every day!
[02:41.469] Rose: But if you could have a garden
[02:43.057] Eden: (Oh, sweet mother of creation.)
[02:44.540] Rose: What would you say?
[02:45.311] Eden: Acting in praxis will always take some some Practice, I get that it’s inexact and
[02:47.664] Rose: If you could have it Your way,
[02:48.682] Eden: Taxing but better than basking in cactuses
[02:49.732] Rose: Any way,
[02:50.071] Eden: I mean actually, what are you asking me?
[02:50.869] Rose: What would you Say?
[02:52.153] Eden: Life is not a fairy tale where clouds are cottony
[02:53.799] Rose: What would you Say?
[02:54.723] Eden: Woes forgotten in a litany of Botany!
[02:55.396] Rose: What would you Say?
[02:57.000] Eden: But you keep going on, and on,
[02:57.719] Rose: What would you Say?
[02:58.319] Eden: and will you ever
[02:59.088] Eden: Stop!?
[03:00.103] Rose: Okay...
[03:01.935] Eden: (Oh, twist my arm)
[03:03.225] I'd say:
[03:05.507] In my garden, troubles melt
[03:09.223] You’ll leave behind the pain you’ve felt
[03:12.973] The sun will rise and you’ll be free
[03:17.709] In my garden, you’ll be safe here with me
[03:22.241] Rose: Yes! What else?
[03:23.497] Eden: Really, Rose?
[03:24.393] I was hoping we could actually catch up,
[03:26.529] not brainstorm fantasy homes like a couple of twelve-year-olds
[03:29.633] Rose: The fantasy is what makes it fun, dummy!
[03:31.802] Come on, you could have anything,
[03:33.522] live anywhere.
[03:34.642] What would it be like?
[03:35.740] Eden: What will it take for you to just give this up?
[03:38.305] Rose: Picture in your mind a house in the woods
[03:41.423] Eden: (No.)
[03:41.759] Rose: By a lake?
[03:42.338] Eden: (No!)
[03:42.790] Rose: Oh a hill?
[03:43.136] Eden: (Oh my god.)
[03:43.912] Rose: Picture in your mind a house on a hill
[03:47.652] The clouds change shape
[03:49.482] But time stands still
[03:51.410] Standing in the doorway
[03:53.281] You gaze at the sky
[03:55.153] Your hair drifts back
[03:57.003] As a breeze blows by
[03:58.976] The halo of the sun
[04:00.786] Would light up the skies
[04:02.627] And you’d sleep as it sets
[04:04.553] And the moon gently closes your eyes
[04:06.418] Eden: Rose, you can’t keep dreaming
[04:07.738] Rose: (Hey,) what’s Wrong with dreaming?
[04:08.378] Eden: And acting on a dime
[04:10.145] Eden: ‘Cause you can’t drown out the voices saying
[04:11.095] Rose: Can’t you hear the future screaming?
[04:11.988] Rose & Eden: Once upon a time
[04:13.921] Eden: It’s hard to leave the memories
[04:14.827] Rose: Which one of us is drowning?
[04:15.729] Eden: That are closest to your heart
[04:16.632] Rose: Which one of us is stuck?
[04:17.624] Eden: And I know this book is one of them
[04:18.578] Rose: There’s a book you should read that shows
[04:19.505] Eden: But you have to make a start with
[04:20.428] Rose: Dreaming doesn’t suck, called
[04:21.384] Rose & Eden: “In My Garden”
[04:28.956] Rose: I guess I like dreaming of paradise gardens
[04:33.636] ‘Cause real life isn’t as fair
[04:38.284] Only you’ve ever helped me when I’ve been in trouble
[04:42.987] And I know you can’t always be there
[04:47.784] Eden: I get that a life with a half-absent family
[04:52.696] Is the only one we’ve ever known
[04:57.324] But I hope you don’t feel like the girl in her garden
[05:03.085] ‘Cause you don’t have to struggle alone
[05:04.795] Rose: I'm afraid
[05:06.052] Eden: And
[05:06.477] That’s okay! Rose
[05:07.932] Life is never easy
[05:11.136] But trust me, together we’ll be strong
[05:14.067] Rose: And I guess the real garden
[05:15.239] Eden: (No, too cheesy.)
[05:16.191] Rose: Was inside us all along
[05:17.430] Eden: (Oh my god.)
[05:19.021] Rose: C'mon, Eden! Sing with me！
[05:20.711] Rose & Eden: In our garden, we won’t hide
[05:24.487] Two friends and siblings side by side
[05:28.275] We won’t give up when life goes wrong!
[05:32.911] In our garden we’ll sing a song that goes
[05:36.687] La la la la la la
[05:38.531] La la la
[05:40.433] La la la la la
[05:42.305] La la la
[05:44.200] La la la la la la
[05:46.074] La la la
[05:48.817] La la la la la
[05:50.769] La la la
[05:51.792] la la la la
[05:53.080] Rose: Hey Eden?
[05:54.039] Eden: Yeah?
[05:54.893] Rose: Thanks for the coffee. And...for everything
[05:59.058] Eden: Don't mention it
