Skylark (1993 TV Movie)

Lee Richardson: Chub 'Chubbers' Horatio

Quotes 

• Jacob Witting : I love you, Sarah. There are some things that can't be written... in a letter. I'm not good with words.

  Sarah Witting : You're fine with words. I never thought you'd come. I dreamed about it at night when the sea sounded like wind through the grasses. I thought about it at night when Caleb had bad dreams. I saw your face everywhere, Jacob, everywhere. I'd look at the sea and see your face there, and in the sky. When I looked at Anna and Caleb you were there. Once in the street I saw somebody that looked like you and I rushed after him. Once I met the train because something told me maybe you'd be there... but I never thought you'd come. Here I was like a child come home to my beautiful sea and I should've been happy but I was frightened. And I am frightened because... this terrible love for you is so strong I, I've never known such a thing before.

  Jacob Witting : [whispered]  I know.

  Sarah Witting : I never thought you'd come.

  Caleb : [Jacob kisses Sarah]  They're kissing and hugging!

  Chub 'Chubbers' Horatio : Of course they are.

  Sarah Witting : Once Matty asked me how long I'd stay here and I know now. I came to stay long enough to say goodbye. I think, Jacob, our baby should be born on the prairie. It's the right thing.

  [pauses] 

  Sarah Witting : You were right - some things can't be written in a letter. You, you said it once; sometimes words aren't good enough... Jacob?

  [he smiles, they laugh and hug] 

• Jacob Witting : Excuse me, could you tell me where the Wheaton's live?

  Chub 'Chubbers' Horatio : Get in, I'll take you there. I'm Chub...

  Jacob Witting : Chubbers Horatio Umberto Bell. I'm Jacob Witting.

  Chub 'Chubbers' Horatio : Jacob Witting, yeah. About time you got here.

• Caleb : I've never been in a car before.

  Chub 'Chubbers' Horatio : About time you were. Wanna drive?

  Caleb : [Nervously]  No.
