The next day, Doc and Holly are preparing to return to the farm, but unbeknownst to Doc, Holly isn't actually leaving with him and hasn't had the heart to tell him yet. She brings Paul along to help her talk to Doc, but when the moment comes, Paul leaves it to the two of them. Holly tells her old husband that it was a mistake trying to love her, "You musn't give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get until they're strong enough to fly into a tree, then to higher trees, then to the sky." She tells him that no matter how hard he tries, she just can't live with him anymore. Doc tries one more attempt at persuading Holly to come with him and tells her about her brother returning from the army. He says that without her back at home, Fred might as well sign up for another tour of duty overseas, perhaps never coming back. Holly continues to protest, and eventually Doc gives in.
