NARRATOR: This is Liberty Hill,
a small freshwater town
2
00:01:32,909 --> 00:01:35,996
where the streets are named
for trees and heroes
3
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:39,916
and a sense of life's
continuity runs in the air.
4
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,419
It is like a hundred other
American towns,
5
00:01:42,502 --> 00:01:47,090
smug and cozy and putting
a special stamp upon its own.
6
00:01:47,173 --> 00:01:51,219
People born and raised here,
high and low, rich and poor
7
00:01:51,303 --> 00:01:54,431
are neighbors in an irrevocable way.
8
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:57,892
They have all, for the space
of a whole generation,
9
00:01:57,976 --> 00:02:00,979
been exposed at a tender
and malleable age

00:02:01,062 --> 00:02:05,150
to the impartial justice,
the inflexible regulations,
11
00:02:05,233 --> 00:02:09,112
and the gray, calm, neutral
eyes of the same teacher.
12
00:02:09,195 --> 00:02:11,156

What is that you're using on your lilies?
17
00:02:55,158 --> 00:02:58,245

Except for lilies, Mr. Porter.
19

00:12:13,758 --> 00:12:15,594
As her father, you could be prejudiced,
183
00:12:15,677 --> 00:12:17,887
but then you could also be right.
(CHUCKLES)
184
00:12:17,971 --> 00:12:19,931
Welcome home.
Thank you, sir.
185
00:12:21,808 --> 00:12:23,268
It's pleasant to see you, Mr. Porter.
186
00:12:23,351 --> 00:12:24,436
The feeling is mutual.
187
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:26,229
I hope Mrs. Porter is in good health?
188
00:12:26,313 --> 00:12:28,064
She is, and most anxious to see you.
189
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:30,692
Told me to find out when you and
your father can come to dinner.
190
00:12:30,775 --> 00:12:32,235
Course, it doesn't have to be your father.
191
00:12:32,319 --> 00:12:33,820
I expect you met some dashing young men
192
00:12:33,904 --> 00:12:35,155
while you were away from Liberty Hill.
193
00:12:35,238 --> 00:12:37,908
(CHUCKLES) Yes, I,
I met one that I like very much.
194
00:12:37,991 --> 00:12:39,117
What's that?
195
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,744
You'd like him too, Papa.
196
00:12:40,827 --> 00:12:43,121
He's an archeology major at Princeton.
197
00:12:43,204 --> 00:12:44,289
Tell me about it later.
198
00:12:44,372 --> 00:12:46,249
Right now, I have a surprise.
199
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:48,376
In the mail this morning
from my London dealer,
200
00:12:48,460 --> 00:12:50,462
after being on its trail for eight years,
201
00:12:50,545 --> 00:12:52,631
that elusive edition
of Marco Polo's travels.
202
00:12:52,714 --> 00:12:54,925
Oh, I know how happy you are.
203
00:12:55,008 --> 00:12:56,217
But you haven't even opened it.
204
00:12:56,301 --> 00:12:58,136
So that I might share it with you tonight.
205
00:12:58,219 --> 00:12:59,429
After dinner. (CHUCKLES)
206
00:12:59,512 --> 00:13:00,597
Then let's go home.
207
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:01,973
Dinner can be early.
208
00:13:02,057 --> 00:13:03,975
May we give you a ride, Mr. Porter?
209
00:13:04,059 --> 00:13:06,227
Thank you, no. I still have some things
to attend to. It's the first of the month.
210
00:13:06,311 --> 00:13:08,271
(CHUCKLES) See you tomorrow, John.
211
00:13:08,355 --> 00:13:10,273
Uh, while you're about it,
send a draft for the book.
212
00:13:10,357 --> 00:13:12,400
$200.
213
00:13:12,484 --> 00:13:14,986
If they'd only known.
(CHUCKLES) I was ready to go to five.
214
00:13:22,369 --> 00:13:24,120
$200. (SIGHS)
215
00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:34,965
From 13th century Venice to Old Cathay,
216
00:13:35,048 --> 00:13:36,591
what a time to have lived.
217
00:13:37,634 --> 00:13:38,677
Next year,
218
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,970
I've made up my mind,
219
00:13:40,053 --> 00:13:41,471
we'll make a tour.
220
00:13:41,554 --> 00:13:43,765
The grandest of grand tours.
221
00:13:43,848 --> 00:13:46,851
I'll show you every corner of the world.
222
00:13:46,935 --> 00:13:50,605
Last summer, Mr. Pendleton rode
a bicycle all through Greece.
223
00:13:50,689 --> 00:13:53,400
Mr. Pendleton?
Who's Mr. Pendleton?
224
00:13:53,483 --> 00:13:56,069
Oh, Papa, you never listen.
225
00:13:56,152 --> 00:13:59,281
He's the young man from
Princeton I told you about.
226
00:13:59,364 --> 00:14:01,408
Oh, yes, the archaeologist.
227
00:14:02,576 --> 00:14:06,371
His name is Wilfred Banning Pendleton III.
228
00:14:06,454 --> 00:14:08,456
(PLAYING PIANO)
229
00:14:13,211 --> 00:14:14,421
Lovely, my dear.
230
00:14:19,384 --> 00:14:21,428
Mr. Pendleton wrote me a letter.
231
00:14:24,514 --> 00:14:26,725
He asked leave to visit me this summer.
232
00:14:27,726 --> 00:14:29,227
Here, in Liberty Hill.
233
00:14:36,693 --> 00:14:37,694
Papa!
234
00:14:42,449 --> 00:14:44,409
Henry! Henry!
235
00:14:46,578 --> 00:14:48,121
Call Dr. Hurley.
236
00:14:48,204 --> 00:14:49,456
Something's happened to my...
237
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:03,136
It's too late for Dr. Hurley, Miss Dove.
238
00:15:14,814 --> 00:15:15,815
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
239
00:15:16,358 --> 00:15:17,359
Yes?
240
00:15:20,153 --> 00:15:22,030
Miss Dove is here, sir.
241
00:15:22,113 --> 00:15:23,114
Have her come in, please.
242
00:15:27,786 --> 00:15:28,787
Thank you for coming.
243
00:15:30,580 --> 00:15:31,957
Won't you please sit down?
244
00:15:37,587 --> 00:15:38,797
What I must tell you,
245
00:15:40,006 --> 00:15:42,342
is as painful to me as it will be for you.
246
00:15:43,677 --> 00:15:45,345
I should like to have put it
off, but...
247
00:15:45,428 --> 00:15:46,513
Tell me, Mr. Porter.
248
00:15:48,098 --> 00:15:51,768
Your father availed himself of
some of the bank's assets
249
00:15:51,851 --> 00:15:54,604
without first observing
the conventional forms.
250
00:15:57,023 --> 00:15:58,233
He stole?
251
00:15:59,442 --> 00:16:01,945
Are you saying that my father stole?
252
00:16:02,028 --> 00:16:03,405
Let us say he borrowed.
253
00:16:04,614 --> 00:16:05,949
How much, Mr. Porter?
254
00:16:06,032 --> 00:16:08,952
$11,430 to be exact.
255
00:16:09,035 --> 00:16:10,996
In dribbles, here and there.
256
00:16:11,079 --> 00:16:13,373
No more than he could have
hoped to return one day.
257
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,335
$11,430?
258
00:16:18,837 --> 00:16:21,006
This must be repaid at once.
259
00:16:21,089 --> 00:16:22,424
By whom?
260
00:16:22,507 --> 00:16:23,717
By me, of course.
261
00:16:24,551 --> 00:16:26,469
There's the house, the...
262
00:16:26,553 --> 00:16:29,431
The rare editions, the...
The paintings.
263
00:16:29,514 --> 00:16:31,766
Their disposal will more
than cover my father's...
264
00:16:32,517 --> 00:16:34,352
indebtedness.
265
00:16:34,436 --> 00:16:37,856
Unfortunately,
it won't be as simple as that.
266
00:16:37,939 --> 00:16:40,317
I've been going over your father's books.
267
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,028
The house, all his possessions,
are mortgaged to the hilt.
268
00:16:44,571 --> 00:16:45,989
Miss Dove.
269
00:16:46,072 --> 00:16:48,158
Your father was one of my closest friends.
270
00:16:49,242 --> 00:16:50,660
Were I financially able,
271
00:16:50,744 --> 00:16:53,413
I would happily cover this
indebtedness to the bank
272
00:16:53,496 --> 00:16:54,623
before there's any scandal.
273
00:16:55,832 --> 00:16:56,833
Scandal?
274
00:16:58,752 --> 00:17:00,170
There must be no scandal.
275
00:17:00,253 --> 00:17:01,838
I don't see how it can be avoided.
276
00:17:03,757 --> 00:17:06,468
Can't the bank make over to me this deficit
277
00:17:06,551 --> 00:17:08,637
as... a personal loan?
278
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,013
Until I can repay it?
279
00:17:10,096 --> 00:17:11,264
You?
280
00:17:11,348 --> 00:17:12,515
But how could you repay it?
281
00:17:13,975 --> 00:17:15,602
I, I shall secure employment.
282
00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:17,520
A position.
283
00:17:18,188 --> 00:17:19,356
A teaching position.
284
00:17:20,482 --> 00:17:22,609
A teaching position?
285
00:17:22,692 --> 00:17:25,195
My dear child,
what are you prepared to teach?
286
00:17:25,278 --> 00:17:27,197
I know a great deal about the world.
287
00:17:27,697 --> 00:17:29,324
(SIGHS)
288
00:17:29,407 --> 00:17:31,701
I cannot imagine a young
lady who knows less.
289
00:17:33,411 --> 00:17:34,913
I should have been more explicit.
290
00:17:35,622 --> 00:17:36,915
Not about the world.
291
00:17:36,998 --> 00:17:38,625
The Earth.
292
00:17:38,708 --> 00:17:41,086
I have read my father's books.
293
00:17:41,169 --> 00:17:45,006
I could find my way through Carthage,
were it to rise again.
294
00:17:45,090 --> 00:17:46,883
I can point out on the map of Iowa,
295
00:17:46,967 --> 00:17:49,594
every field where the corn grows tallest.
296
00:17:49,678 --> 00:17:51,471
I know every turn of the Nile,
297
00:17:51,554 --> 00:17:53,056
every eddy of the Mississippi.
298
00:17:53,682 --> 00:17:55,058
I am not even certain,
299
00:17:55,141 --> 00:17:56,935
should I put my mind to it,
300
00:17:57,018 --> 00:18:00,146
that I couldn't locate
the Northwest Passage.
301
00:18:00,230 --> 00:18:03,191
I am superbly qualified to
teach geography, Mr. Porter.
302
00:18:04,025 --> 00:18:05,694
And I will teach geography.
303
00:18:07,237 --> 00:18:09,239
There will be no scandal.
304
00:18:09,322 --> 00:18:11,408
And I will repay my father's debt.
305
00:18:14,494 --> 00:18:17,372
You are now president of this bank.
306
00:18:17,455 --> 00:18:21,251
Surely you can arrange
somehow a, a personal loan?
307
00:18:23,837 --> 00:18:25,088
Uh...
308
00:18:25,171 --> 00:18:27,757
I'll try, since you seem
so determined, but...
309
00:18:29,092 --> 00:18:30,927
I really can't guarantee anything.
310
00:18:33,513 --> 00:18:34,514
Thank you.
311
00:18:35,265 --> 00:18:36,558
Meanwhile, I...
312
00:18:36,641 --> 00:18:39,060
I will make my application
to the school board.
313
00:18:39,811 --> 00:18:40,979
Good morning, Mr. Porter.
314
00:18:54,743 --> 00:18:56,286
Is there anything you wish, Mr. Porter?
315
00:18:57,495 --> 00:18:58,705
Yes.
316
00:18:58,788 --> 00:19:00,749
Get me the Superintendent of Schools.
317
00:19:01,291 --> 00:19:02,292
Yes, sir.
318
00:19:06,338 --> 00:19:09,507
"Dear Mr. Pendleton.
319
00:19:10,884 --> 00:19:12,260

I...

00:20:21,246 --> 00:20:23,331
I took the liberty.
330
00:20:23,415 --> 00:20:26,001
I had to express my sympathy in person.
331

Please come in, Mr. Pendleton.
332
00:20:40,849 --> 00:20:44,394
Now that I'm here,
there's so little I can say...
333
00:20:44,477 --> 00:20:46,521
You've said it very well, Mr. Pendleton.
334
00:20:52,527 --> 00:20:53,528
Please sit down.

(SIGHS)
336
00:21:00,118 --> 00:21:01,953
Wilfred's an awful name, isn't it?
337
00:21:02,954 --> 00:21:04,789
But must you call me Mr. Pendleton?
338
00:21:06,249 --> 00:21:07,918
My friends call me Wulf.
339
00:21:09,878 --> 00:21:11,421
I, I don't suppose you'd care to though.
340
00:21:11,755 --> 00:21:13,590
No.
341
00:21:13,673 --> 00:21:15,717
But I should like to call you Wilfred.
342
00:21:16,426 --> 00:21:17,427
Thank you.
343
00:21:19,012 --> 00:21:22,515
Just what does the Carnegie
Fellowship mean, Wilfred?
344
00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:24,893
A full year in Tibet with
the Archer expedition.
345
00:21:25,268 --> 00:21:26,269
Tibet?
346
00:21:27,228 --> 00:21:29,314
You'll see the Himalayas.
347
00:21:29,397 --> 00:21:31,232
We'll sail down the Brahmaputra,
348
00:21:31,316 --> 00:21:32,359
then Lhasa.
349
00:21:32,442 --> 00:21:34,110
Lhasa.
350
00:21:34,194 --> 00:21:37,030
One of the oldest cities
in the history of men.
351
00:21:37,113 --> 00:21:39,574
On to Shigatse and the sacred lakes.
352
00:21:39,658 --> 00:21:41,993
Wait, I know their names.
353
00:21:42,911 --> 00:21:45,705
Mansarovar, and Rakshas Tal.
354
00:21:45,789 --> 00:21:47,249
(CHUCKLES) Right.
355
00:21:47,332 --> 00:21:49,751
And then we'll follow the
ancient route to, to Kashmir
356
00:21:49,834 --> 00:21:52,045
and the Tarim Basin.
Oh.
357
00:21:52,128 --> 00:21:53,838
Mr. Pendleton...
Wilfred.
358
00:21:55,423 --> 00:21:56,549
How I envy you.
359
00:21:57,634 --> 00:21:58,927
I don't want you to envy me.
360
00:22:02,180 --> 00:22:03,181
I want you to come with me.
361
00:22:04,683 --> 00:22:05,767

but from the first moment we met at
Ms. Kingsley's weekly tea, I...
364
00:22:11,356 --> 00:22:15,068
I felt that our friendship,
begun under such pleasant auspices,
365
00:22:15,151 --> 00:22:17,612
might ripen into something warmer.

and strolled along the river.

described the misty isles of Greece.

So, I brought Tommy.

I requested young Dr. Hurley,
my personal physician.

temporarily out of circulation,

00:32:26,972 --> 00:32:28,848
I was Billie Jean McVeigh.
543
00:32:28,932 --> 00:32:31,518
Yes, Mrs. Green.
I remember you very well.
544
00:32:31,601 --> 00:32:32,894
Of course, I'm older now.
545
00:32:34,104 --> 00:32:35,814
If you please, Mrs. Green.
546
00:32:35,897 --> 00:32:37,774
I am not totally incapacitated.
547
00:32:37,857 --> 00:32:41,361
Miss Dove, you are not to
help or to exert yourself.
548
00:32:41,444 --> 00:32:44,614
Do you want me to tell Dr. Baker
that you are a naughty girl?
549
00:32:54,332 --> 00:32:57,586
Something for after the bath to
keep our skin soft and sweet.
550
00:32:57,669 --> 00:32:59,588
Uh, your skin, I mean.
551
00:32:59,671 --> 00:33:02,173
You know what I always think of
when I put this on my patients?
552
00:33:02,257 --> 00:33:04,050
No, Mrs. Green.
553
00:33:04,134 --> 00:33:06,761
The little can of talcum you gave
me for Christmas in the third grade.
554
00:33:06,845 --> 00:33:07,887
It was second grade.
555
00:33:07,971 --> 00:33:10,557
Girls in the third grade received thimbles.
556
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,350
Mine had a picture of lilacs on it.
557
00:33:12,434 --> 00:33:14,352
(CLICKS TONGUE) I was some proud.
558
00:33:14,436 --> 00:33:17,063
And when you gave it to me,
you said something I never forgot.
559
00:33:17,147 --> 00:33:20,191
You said, "This is to use
after you wash your neck."
560
00:33:20,275 --> 00:33:22,903
Mmm, I intended no reflection
upon you, Mrs. Green.
561
00:33:22,986 --> 00:33:25,071
That is what I say to all the little girls.
562
00:33:25,155 --> 00:33:26,740
Oh, I didn't take it personal.
563
00:33:26,823 --> 00:33:28,783
But I certainly took it to heart.
564
00:33:28,867 --> 00:33:30,827
It's what I tell my baby, my little Ava.
565
00:33:30,911 --> 00:33:34,873
She's going on five. She's just crazy
about my Mary Snow's Country Garden.
566
00:33:34,956 --> 00:33:37,125
But I tell her every time she begs for it,
567
00:33:37,208 --> 00:33:39,711
I say, "First, you wash yourself good."
568
00:33:39,794 --> 00:33:42,422
Well... Yes,
that's exactly what I tell her.
569
00:33:42,505 --> 00:33:43,924
What is my temperature?
570
00:33:44,007 --> 00:33:45,967
Oh, that's, uh, confidential.
571
00:33:46,051 --> 00:33:47,218
Besides, even if I told you,
572
00:33:47,302 --> 00:33:48,303
you wouldn't know what it meant.
573
00:33:48,386 --> 00:33:50,221
It's in centigrade or something.
574
00:33:50,305 --> 00:33:52,933
It is neither in "centigrade"
nor in "something".
575
00:33:53,516 --> 00:33:54,851
It is Fahrenheit.
576
00:33:54,935 --> 00:33:58,188
Well, hey, gee, thanks.
I'd better remember that.
577
00:33:58,271 --> 00:34:01,232
As to my question, it was indiscreet.
578
00:34:01,316 --> 00:34:02,943
Oh, no. Not indiscreet a bit.
579
00:34:03,026 --> 00:34:06,404
All patients are snoopy.
But well, you know, rules.
580
00:34:06,488 --> 00:34:08,823
Yes, Mrs. Green. I know rules.

A gentleman friend that I was going
steady with up to a month ago,
586
00:34:28,635 --> 00:34:29,928
he gave it to me.
587
00:34:30,011 --> 00:34:32,055
He said it smelled real refined.
588
00:34:32,138 --> 00:34:33,265
Mmm.
589
00:34:33,348 --> 00:34:35,517
(EXHALES) I was very happy in his company.
590
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,519
Seemed to be mutual, but...
591
00:34:37,602 --> 00:34:39,521
Well, it came to a dead end.
592
00:34:39,604 --> 00:34:42,649

for five lonely years.

00:34:46,152 --> 00:34:50,073
You remember when I went way out
west to Detroit to work at a factory?
596
00:34:50,156 --> 00:34:52,701
Well, out there, I met Mr. Green.
597
00:34:52,784 --> 00:34:56,162
He, uh, he passed away shortly after.

Uh...
604
00:35:09,301 --> 00:35:11,219
You know Bill Holloway.
605
00:35:11,303 --> 00:35:14,848
Officer Holloway,
I suppose I should refer to him.
606
00:35:14,931 --> 00:35:17,142
William was one of my pupils.
607
00:35:17,225 --> 00:35:18,435
Well, I just thought,
you might like to know
608
00:35:18,518 --> 00:35:20,353
how he's got you up on a pedestal.
609
00:35:20,437 --> 00:35:24,024
He says you're his idea of real genteel.
610
00:35:24,107 --> 00:35:27,068
I value William Holloway's opinion.
611
00:35:27,152 --> 00:35:29,738
Funny how he should have
ended up the type he is.
612
00:35:30,488 --> 00:35:31,698
Why do you say that?
613
00:35:31,781 --> 00:35:34,576
Ooh, I was just thinking
about how he started out,
614
00:35:34,659 --> 00:35:36,411
being raised by the old grandmother.
615
00:35:36,494 --> 00:35:37,954
Now you know what she was.
616
00:35:38,038 --> 00:35:41,333
Living in that leaky shack
down by the gasworks.
617
00:35:41,416 --> 00:35:44,294
William Holloway started out
with a gift rarer
618
00:35:44,377 --> 00:35:47,380
than mathematical genius
or perfect pitch.
619
00:35:48,465 --> 00:35:50,967
A child in whom the ethical instinct
620
00:35:51,051 --> 00:35:53,803
was as innate as the function of breathing.
621
00:35:54,596 --> 00:35:56,806
Oh, brother.
622
00:35:56,890 --> 00:35:58,266
If anyone should ever tell him that,
623
00:35:58,350 --> 00:36:00,852
you could drive a truck
right between his ears.
624
00:36:00,936 --> 00:36:03,229
There would be no point
in apprising William.
625
00:36:03,980 --> 00:36:05,440
He knows what he is.
626
00:36:06,024 --> 00:36:07,609
He always knew.

00:40:44,803 --> 00:40:46,096
And an additional honor,
717
00:40:46,846 --> 00:40:49,182
the good attendance medal.
718
00:40:49,266 --> 00:40:53,103
This young man has a record unique
in the annals of Cedar Grove.
719
00:40:53,186 --> 00:40:56,064
He has not been absent a single day
720
00:40:56,147 --> 00:40:58,650
in his six years of elementary schooling.
721
00:41:11,746 --> 00:41:13,331
My felicitations, William.
722
00:41:16,710 --> 00:41:20,255
I-I came to thank you
for my graduation suit.
723
00:41:20,338 --> 00:41:21,548
It was my pleasure.
724
00:41:24,593 --> 00:41:25,594
Well...
725
00:41:26,428 --> 00:41:28,513
Guess I'd better be going.
726
00:41:28,597 --> 00:41:30,849
I shall watch where you go
with interest, William.
727
00:41:32,017 --> 00:41:33,268
I have faith in you.
728
00:41:35,604 --> 00:41:37,147
It was always so clean in here.
729
00:41:38,732 --> 00:41:40,775
Like... Like...
730
00:41:40,859 --> 00:41:42,861
Like this was where I-I really lived.
731
00:41:45,322 --> 00:41:46,781
That's why I never missed a day.
732
00:41:53,121 --> 00:41:54,289
Goodbye, Miss Dove.
733
00:41:55,957 --> 00:41:56,958
Goodbye, William.
734
00:42:04,507 --> 00:42:06,092
I do not worry about him.
735
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,136
He will find his way.

00:42:22,901 --> 00:42:25,612
I wonder if she ever knew it
was a beer truck that hit her.

00:42:36,206 --> 00:42:37,207
William.
740
00:42:39,834 --> 00:42:42,170
May I offer my expressions of sympathy?
741
00:42:43,838 --> 00:42:44,965
Thank you, Miss Dove.
742
00:42:48,134 --> 00:42:49,469
She did the best she could.
743
00:42:49,552 --> 00:42:50,553
She didn't...
744
00:42:52,889 --> 00:42:54,516
She didn't have my opportunities.
745
00:42:56,434 --> 00:42:57,811
Her troubles are over.

748
00:43:01,314 --> 00:43:02,899
Yeah.
749
00:43:02,983 --> 00:43:05,151
I should like to accompany you, William.

00:43:05,235 --> 00:43:06,736

Hmm.

00:43:57,203 --> 00:43:58,413
Thank you, Mr. O'Neil.

These sure are, uh...
759
00:44:14,054 --> 00:44:16,056
They're delicious, Miss Dove.
What's in them?
760
00:44:16,139 --> 00:44:17,557
Only bread and butter, William.
761
00:44:18,224 --> 00:44:19,434
When did you return?
762
00:44:19,517 --> 00:44:20,769
On the 3:45.
763
00:44:24,856 --> 00:44:27,150
I made a beeline straight from the station.
764
00:44:27,234 --> 00:44:28,610
Mainly because I wanted to see you.
765
00:44:29,527 --> 00:44:31,279
Also, I need your advice.
766
00:44:31,363 --> 00:44:32,697
I am honored, William.
767
00:44:32,781 --> 00:44:34,449
Well, this is how it shapes up, uh...

00:44:36,409 --> 00:44:37,494
I know it's pretty late.
770
00:44:38,411 --> 00:44:40,080
What would you think if I, uh,
771
00:44:40,163 --> 00:44:43,250
use my GI educational allowance for
living expenses and finish school?
772
00:44:43,917 --> 00:44:44,918
I should approve.
773
00:44:45,794 --> 00:44:47,087
And then what, William?
774
00:44:47,170 --> 00:44:48,755
Oh, this will throw you for a loop.
775
00:44:48,838 --> 00:44:50,465
I mean, surprise you.
776
00:44:50,548 --> 00:44:52,759
I've been thinking about entering
the field of law enforcement.
777
00:44:52,842 --> 00:44:54,678
I'd like to be a first rate cop.
778
00:44:54,761 --> 00:44:56,471
I mean, a good police officer.
779
00:44:57,597 --> 00:44:59,015
A worthy ambition, William.
780
00:45:00,433 --> 00:45:03,019
I shall continue to follow
your career with interest.

00:45:04,980 --> 00:45:05,981

I'm Dr. Baker's house officer.
787
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:26,459
You may report to Dr. Baker that I
am presently comfortable, thank you.
788
00:45:26,543 --> 00:45:29,337
Excellent. That makes my task
just that much easier.
789
00:45:29,421 --> 00:45:31,464
Your task?
I'm to take your history.
790
00:45:31,548 --> 00:45:34,009
And so you can both speak more
private, I'll wait in the hall.
791
00:45:34,092 --> 00:45:35,719
That would be quite unnecessary.
792
00:45:35,802 --> 00:45:37,429
Oh, it's custom, Miss Dove.
793
00:45:37,512 --> 00:45:39,389
Dr. Hurley has provided us
with your records,
794
00:45:39,472 --> 00:45:41,683
childhood diseases, vital statistics, etc.
795
00:45:41,766 --> 00:45:43,560
So we can get down to the immediate.
796
00:45:43,643 --> 00:45:45,645
Do you suffer from periodic headaches?
797
00:45:45,729 --> 00:45:46,855
No, Dr. Temple.
798
00:45:46,938 --> 00:45:49,149
Are you afflicted with
respiratory infections?
799
00:45:49,232 --> 00:45:51,985
No, nor am I subject to common colds.
800
00:45:52,068 --> 00:45:53,153
Any allergies?
801
00:45:53,236 --> 00:45:56,406
None. I consider them sheer affectation.
802
00:45:56,489 --> 00:45:58,408
I see. Is there a family history
803
00:45:58,491 --> 00:46:01,119
of epilepsy, night blindness,
eczema or melancholy?
804
00:46:01,202 --> 00:46:02,787
Certainly not.
805
00:46:02,871 --> 00:46:04,456
What about your emotional life?
806
00:46:07,292 --> 00:46:08,752
I beg your pardon.

00:46:08,835 --> 00:46:10,670
Well, love, you know.

00:46:10,754 --> 00:46:13,340
Any feelings of frustration, inadequacy?
809
00:46:13,423 --> 00:46:15,175
I have never felt inadequate.
810
00:46:16,426 --> 00:46:17,802
Question was routine.
811
00:46:17,886 --> 00:46:20,680
I'm supposing we call your
emotional life satisfactory?
812
00:46:20,764 --> 00:46:21,973
That would be correct.

assumes an aura of unreality?

00:46:29,773 --> 00:46:30,899
Yes, Dr. Temple.
817
00:46:30,982 --> 00:46:32,484
Well, could you say approximately how long
818
00:46:32,567 --> 00:46:34,444
you've been conscious of these occasions?
819
00:46:34,527 --> 00:46:36,363
I can say definitely.

00:47:00,679 --> 00:47:01,930
I should have known.

(CHUCKLES) Well, it's been a long time.
833
00:47:04,140 --> 00:47:06,601
Mother's family moved to
Maine when she was 14.
834
00:47:06,685 --> 00:47:08,103
But she remembers you.
835
00:47:08,186 --> 00:47:09,771
I remember her.
836
00:47:09,854 --> 00:47:11,856
She, too, had an enquiring mind.
837
00:47:11,940 --> 00:47:14,442
(LAUGHS) Yeah, she still has.
838
00:47:14,526 --> 00:47:16,194
As a matter of fact,
it's her proudest boast
839
00:47:16,278 --> 00:47:17,696
that she's the only kid at Cedar Grove
840
00:47:17,779 --> 00:47:19,990

you couldn't answer.
841
00:47:20,532 --> 00:47:22,033
Indeed?

As she tells it, it was way back
in the first or second grade.
843
00:47:25,537 --> 00:47:28,623
You were reading from a book about
the dietary habits of animals.
844
00:47:28,707 --> 00:47:32,294
And it said that bears liked honey
and were also very fond of red ants,
845
00:47:32,377 --> 00:47:35,213
which have a flavor
similar to that of pickles.
846
00:47:35,297 --> 00:47:39,217
And Mother asked you how the man who
wrote the book knew how ants tasted.
847
00:47:40,051 --> 00:47:41,803
Did he eat an ant to find out?
848
00:47:41,886 --> 00:47:44,014
Or did a bear tell him? (LAUGHS)
849
00:47:44,097 --> 00:47:45,932
I recall the incident.

00:47:46,016 --> 00:47:48,476
I'm writing mother tonight.
She'd get a wallop out of this.
851
00:47:49,060 --> 00:47:50,186
I dare say.
852
00:47:50,270 --> 00:47:51,688
And I'll be looking in on you.
853
00:47:51,771 --> 00:47:53,982
And if there's anything at all
I can do, just buzz.
854
00:47:54,065 --> 00:47:55,692
One moment, Dr. Temple.
855
00:47:55,775 --> 00:47:57,193
You want Dr. Temple for something?
856
00:47:57,277 --> 00:48:00,864
Yes, for the courtesy of
asking him a few questions.
857
00:48:00,947 --> 00:48:04,492
For all his volubility, he told me
nothing of my physical condition.
858
00:48:04,576 --> 00:48:06,036
Well, he couldn't. He's not in charge.

00:48:10,081 --> 00:48:11,917
What is it Dr. Baker suspects?
862
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,002
He'll tell you what you need to know.
863
00:48:14,085 --> 00:48:15,962

Wonderful.

00:48:51,581 --> 00:48:53,500
Except the suspense is killing me.

If nothing definite has happened
by the end of the week,

to give nature a nudge.

Right now, I suggest I keep walking.
883
00:49:00,757 --> 00:49:02,342
I better had.
884
00:49:02,425 --> 00:49:04,094
If Tommy knew I was here, he'd have a fit.

for both of us.

Oh, I sure will.
892
00:49:21,403 --> 00:49:25,574
You know, I used to think she was the
snootiest, dumbest brat at Liberty Hill.

1430
01:15:38,688 --> 01:15:41,441
why you refer to Maurice as Rab?

we all call him that.
1432

Fred Makepeace on the loose again?
1942
01:41:59,686 --> 01:42:02,897
You think maybe he's heading
for Liberty Hill, huh?
1943
01:42:02,981 --> 01:42:05,734
Yeah, sure thing, Warden.
We'll be on the lookout for him.
1944
01:42:05,817 --> 01:42:07,068
All right. Good night.
1945
01:42:08,945 --> 01:42:10,572
I wonder what's the big
attraction in this bird,
1946
01:42:10,655 --> 01:42:13,116
for a petty thief like Makepeace.
1947
01:42:13,199 --> 01:42:16,536
Well, I tell you, I don't know.

Tell me, without wasting a word.
1955
01:43:30,193 --> 01:43:32,112
And Virginia?
1956
01:43:32,195 --> 01:43:33,530
Twin boys.

01:43:35,532 --> 01:43:37,867
My felicitations, Thomas.

Friday, Miss Dove.
1968
01:44:24,915 --> 01:44:26,333
For a big day for Liberty Hill.
1969
