T.S. Spivet : [narrating] Our ranch was located several miles north of Divide, lost in the Pioneer Mountains. The closest thing to traffic was when Union Pacific Freight trains rumbled through the valley. at 5:44 AM, 11:53 AM, 5:15 PM. The Divide was literally located on the continental divide. To the east, rivers spill into the Atlantic. To the west, it spilled into the Pacific. One day my brother Layton and I decided to christen its natural border.
Layton : [riding atop an oil rig] Giddy up little donkey, yee ha! Giddy up horse, yeah! Ya hoo!
