William has a strained relationship with Edward because his father has always told exaggerated stories about his life, and William thinks he's never really told the truth. Even on his deathbed, Edward recounts fantastical anecdotes. When William, who is a journalist, starts to investigate his father's tales, he begins to understand the man and his penchant for storytelling.

NORTHER WINSLOW: Everything here tastes better. Even the water is sweet. Never gets toohot, too cold, too humid. At night thewind goes through the trees and you’dswear there was a whole symphony outthere, playing just for you.
Suddenly, Jenny YANKS OFF Edward’s shoes. She races for the door.
EDWARD:
Hey!
He chases after her.
EXT. TOWN / MAIN STREET - DAY As she runs, Jenny ties Edward’s laces together. Reachingthe edge of town, she tosses the shoes up and around thepower line -- a perfect throw. There’s no way he’s evergetting them down.
38.
The gathered citizens of Spectre CHEER for Edward, who isconfused and overwhelmed. The women hug him. Men shake his hand.
Still focused on his shoes...
EDWARD:
Wait! I need those!
NORTHER WINSLOW: There is no softer ground than town.
MILDRED:
That rhymes!
BEAMEN:
He is our poet laureate.
The townsfolk continue to congratulate Edward... EDWARD (V.O.) Sometimes in a dream, you’ll visitplaces that seem instantly familiar, filled with friends you’ve never met.
EXT. UNDER A TREE - DUSK Edward sits with Norther Winslow. The fireflies are out.
Thousands of them.
EDWARD (V.O.) A man might travel his entire life andnever find a place so inviting. Myjourney had scarcely begun, and I hadarrived.
Norther hands him his noteboook.
NORTHER WINSLOW: I’ve been working on this poem for 12 years.
EDWARD:
Really.
NORTHER WINSLOW: There’s a lot of expectation. I don’t want to disappoint my fans.
A beat.
EDWARD:
It’s only three lines long.

Norther grabs his notebook back.
NORTHER WINSLOW: This is why you don’t show work in progress.
