"Yeah." "You sure this is a copy?" "why?" "The numbers are all screwed up." "I guess." "That's impossible." "The numbers of the control track they put on the tape whenever it's recorded there shouldn't be any images." "can you pretend for one minute that I don't read Video Geek Magazine?" "when you record a tape the makeup of the tracks is like a signature for whatever did the recording whatever." "So the control track could tell us where it came from." "But to not have one that's like being born without fingerprints." "how did this get recorded?" "I don't know." "But I'm going to find out." "take a look." "You should be able to see the camera here in the reflection." "but you don't." "Hmm." "What's that?" "It looks like she's walking away whoever she is." "I mean up there at the top." "that's just the tracking." "I can fix that." "sorry." "go back." "There's something there." "you're right." "There's more picture." "Hold on." "I'm going to stretch the alignment." "it's working." "it won't go any further." "keep going." "let me do it." "it won't go any further." "It won't go any further!" "Get" "Let me do it." "Shit!" "Oh" "Noah" "I picked up the cameras."

"So you're taking the tape?" "I don't want her to see it." "Whoa." "You don't want her to see it?" "What about me seeing it?" "You had no problem showing it to me." "I did have a problem." "You're angry." "I'm not angry." "no?" "What are you then?" "In a hurry." "but I'm not going to get all worked up over some high school rumor." "What are you thinking?" "I'm thinking this is the part where I say never finishes anything." "Then you say I'm "an obsessive bitch." "Needs to lighten up." "Then I storm out kicking myself for ever thinking that you could just grow up." "why don't we just cut to that part right now and save ourselves a lot of grief?" "All right." "Bye." "missy." "Bad luck." "You don't need that." "Becca?" "Becca." "We're almost there." "actually." "So circle gets that square." "while you check this out."

"Tracks totally shot servos can't line them up." "But the big box here's a warhorse." "Totally analog." "She'll read to the very edge of your tape." "Just don't force her or she'll get pissy with you." "if you need it." "uh home movies or something?" "I'd really rather watch it alone." "Really." "Whatever." "Come on" "Lighthouse." "Shit."

"I'm not finished." "Noah said to make one for you." "You could almost draw a line through her life." "there's this happy woman riding horses protected and comfortable." "there's pride."
