Joe's Father
- Joe's Father: It's actually
- [pauses]
- Joe's Father: the souls of the trees that we see in the winter.
- Young Joe: I think they look like human souls.
- Joe's Father: You're right. They do look like human souls. Twisted souls. Regular Souls. Crazy souls. All depending on the kind of lives human beings lead.
- Joe's Father: I've found my tree. My soul tree. And no, it's not that one, okay, 'cause then I would be dead.
- [shows Joe a large oak tree]
- Joe's Father: This is my tree.
- Joe - 10 Years: It's not an ash tree.
- Joe's Father: No, it's an oak tree.
- Joe - 10 Years: It has two trunks.
- Joe's Father: Yeah, isn't it great? It shows itself to both sides, the lake and the forest.
- Joe - 10 Years: But, dad, how does a tree get two trunks?
- Joe's Father: The most common reason is that the top broke when it was very young.
- Joe - 10 Years: That means that you've been broken once. Have you, dad?
- Joe's Father: [long pause] It seems that it can be rather revealing... to find your soul tree.
