♪

- I AM NOT GONNA MAKE A FUSS
OVER IT.

I PROMISE.

- IT'S NOT THAT
I DON'T APPRECIATE YOU

OFFERING TO STAY WITH ME
WHILE PETER'S AWAY.

- YOU GO VISIT YOUR FRIEND.

AFTER THE BABY COMES,
THERE WON'T BE MUCH TRAVELING.

- THANK YOU
FOR UNDERSTANDING, MARY.

I DON'T WANT TO HURT
YOUR FEELINGS,

BUT I DO WANT TO VISIT BELINDA.

- IT TAKES A LOT MORE
THAN THAT

TO HURT
THIS OLD CROW'S FEELINGS.

[chuckles]

BUT IT WOULD HURT
MY FEELINGS

IF YOU DELIVERED
MY FIRST GRANDSON WITHOUT ME.

- I'LL BE BACK
IN PLENTY OF TIME.

AND I'M COUNTING ON YOU.

- KEEP GOOD THOUGHTS
FOR THE BABY.

- WE'LL SEE YOU
IN A FEW WEEKS, MOTHER.

- ALL RIGHT, PETER WATSON,

YOU DRIVE SLOWLY AND EASILY

AND--AND AVOID THE RUTS
AND THE BUMPS.

ANNIE AND MY GRANDSON
DO NOT NEED TO BE JOSTLED AROUND

LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES!

- YES, MA'AM.
[horse whinnies]

I GOT IT FOR YOU, JOE.
- YES, SIR.

- STEP UP!

- HAVE A GOOD TIME!

[pleasant upbeat music]

♪

- IT JUST FEELS AWFUL
SOMETIMES.

- WHAT, EXACTLY,
ARE YOU FEELING?

- I DON'T MEAN
TO COMPLAIN, DOCTOR,

BUT I'M JUST PLUMB WORE OUT.

SOMETIMES I CAN BARELY
KEEP MY HEAD UP.

- AND WHEN DID YOU START
FEELING THIS WAY?

- WHEN I HAD MY YOUNGEST.
ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AGO.

- OPEN YOUR MOUTH, PLEASE.

GUMS ARE VERY PALE, MABEL.

YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED
WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR?

- I'M NOT SURE I KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE.

- WELL, I THINK
YOU HAVE ANEMIA,

WHICH MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH IRON IN YOUR BODY.

IT'S COMMON WITH NEW MOTHERS.

WHEN THE BABY WAS INSIDE OF YOU,
HE TOOK MOST OF YOUR IRON.

- SO IT'S
NOTHING SERIOUS, THEN?

- OH, IT'S VERY SERIOUS.

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG
TO COME TO ME?

- WELL, YOU SEE, MY HUSBAND
DOESN'T THINK I'M REALLY SICK.

HE SAYS I'M JUST LAZY.

- YOU TAKE CARE OF SIX CHILDREN
AND A HUSBAND.

WHY, YOU WORK HARDER
THAN HE DOES.

- OH, HE'S A GOOD MAN,
DOC OWENS.

REALLY, HE IS.

HE JUST DON'T TRUST DOCTORS.

NOT SINCE HIS SISTER DIED.

IS THERE A TONIC I CAN TAKE
FOR THIS ANEMIA?

- THERE IS A TONIC,
BUT EATING VEGETABLES

WOULD BE MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE.

- WELL, HE DOESN'T REALLY LIKE
ALL THOSE VEGETABLES.

HE PREFERS HIS MEAT
AND POTATOES.

- TAKE TWO SPOONFULS
TWICE A DAY.

AND COME AND SEE ME
IN A WEEK.

- IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THAT MY COMING TO SEE YOU

IS KEPT PRIVATE.

- WHAT GOES ON BETWEEN
A DOCTOR AND A PATIENT

IS ALWAYS VERY PRIVATE.

[horse whinnies]

[overlapping chatter]

- HELLO, LEE.

- HEY, THERE, REVEREND.

- LEAVING THAT BRONC OF YOURS
SADDLED ALL DAY?

- I'M JUST TRYING
TO WEAR HIM DOWN

FOR THE RIDE HOME.

- YOU'RE HERE EARLY,
YOU'RE HERE LATE.

- SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW
IF I'M COMING OR GOING.

- AREN'T YOU EXPECTING COMPANY?

- MY WIFE'S BEST FRIEND
FROM MEDICAL SCHOOL.

- SHE SHOULD GET HERE
ANY DAY NOW.

- I WAS REFERRING
TO THAT APPRENTICE OF YOURS.

- HE SHOULD BE HERE
ON THURSDAY'S STAGE.

- I'LL LEAVE YOU
TO YOUR WORK, LEE.

- HAVE A GOOD DAY, REVEREND.

- ALL FINISHED?

THAT'LL BE $2 FOR THE DOCTOR
AND 50 CENTS FOR THE MEDICINE.

- I'M SORRY,
MY HUSBAND DOESN'T ALLOW ME

ANY EXTRA MONEY.

I HAVE TO USE THE SOCK MONEY
I'VE SAVED UP.

- WHY DON'T WE JUST CALL IT
A DOLLAR EVEN?

- THANK YOU.

THAT'S VERY KIND OF YOU.

- DON'T MENTION IT,
MRS. MCQUEEN.

- TELL HER I'LL BE BY
WITH THAT MEDICINE.

- I WILL, ABSOLUTELY.
VERY GOOD TO SEE YOU.

- OH, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

- NOW, YOU TAKE CARE
OF YOURSELF.

- OKAY.

- ALL RIGHT, PAL...

LET'S HAVE A NICE,
EASY RIDE TODAY.

[nickering]

I DON'T WANT ANY MORE
OF THAT FUNNY BUSINESS.

HERE I COME. EASY.

WHOA! HE--HEY!

[horse whinnying]

SETTLE DOWN NOW.
SETTLE, SETTLE.

E--EASY NOW!

I GUESS WE'RE STILL
IN THE LEARNING PROCESS.

COME ON.
[clicks tongue]

- AUNT ANNIE'S HERE.

AUNT ANNIE!

- OH, LILLIAN, MY LOVE!

- OH...SHE LOOKS WONDERFUL,
DOESN'T SHE, PA?

- SURE, SHE, UH...
LOOKS VERY ROUND.

- I'M SO GLAD YOU
AND UNCLE PETER ARE HERE.

- OH, LET ME GET THAT.
- OH, IT'S FINE.

EVERYONE TREATS ME
LIKE A CHINA DOLL.

I'M NOT GONNA BREAK.

- I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME.
- ME TOO.

- I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE

YOU LOOKING AFTER ANNIE
WHILE I'M AWAY.

I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE
A SURVEYING JOB

THIS CLOSE TO HER
HAVING THE BABY,

BUT WE NEED THE MONEY.

I'LL BE BACK
IN PLENTY OF TIME.

- PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE, PETE.
WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE HER.

- MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE STAYED
WITH ANNIE...

- BUT I WANTED TO COME VISIT
MY BEST FRIEND AND HER FAMILY

BEFORE THE BABY COMES.
- AND WE'RE SO GLAD YOU DID.

- HOW ARE THINGS
DOWN AT THE CLINIC?

- BROKEN BONES AND BEE STINGS.

ANYTHING A NURSING STUDENT
COULD HANDLE.

- DON'T LET HER FOOL YOU,
AUNT ANNIE.

THE TOWN LOVES MA.

THEY WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITHOUT HER.

- THOSE ARE VERY KIND WORDS,
LILLIAN,

BUT THEY'RE HARDLY TRUE.

WELL, HOW 'BOUT
I START CLEANING AND, LEE,

YOU'LL HELP THEM GET
SETTLED IN FOR THE NIGHT?

[distant whinny]

[horse whinnies]

- IT'S, UH...

IT'S GOOD HAVING ANNIE HERE.

- IT IS.

- SHE'S YOUR BEST FRIEND,
ISN'T SHE?

- I LIKE TO THINK OF YOU
AS MY VERY BEST FRIEND.

- WHY DON'T YOU TELL YOUR
VERY BEST FRIEND WHERE YOU ARE?

- RIGHT HERE.

- WELL, YOU SEEM LIKE
YOU'RE 100 MILES AWAY.

- I'M JUST TIRED.

- ARE YOU SURE THAT'S
ALL THERE IS TO IT?

WHAT'S WRONG?

- I'M NOT PREGNANT.

- DON'T WORRY YOURSELF
ABOUT IT.

- WE'VE TRIED FOR SO LONG.

- WE HAVE MORE THAN
WE CAN HANDLE WITH LIL.

- OH, I KNOW, BUT...

IT'S JUST THAT WHEN ANNIE
FOUND OUT THE NEWS,

IT MADE ME WANT A BABY
OF OUR OWN EVEN MORE.

AND...

NOW THAT
SHE'S STAYING WITH US...

- NO.

WE ARE GONNA HAVE
A BEAUTIFUL BABY OF OUR OWN.

ALL GOOD THINGS COME
IN GOD'S TIME, AND...

MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST
LET HIM DECIDE.

- WHAT IF HE DOESN'T WANT US
TO HAVE A BABY?

- HEY...

COME ON.

LET'S GO HELP LIL
FINISH THE DISHES. HMM?

- I GUESS I'D BEST BE
LEAVING NOW.

- PETER,
PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

- YES,
MY LEVEL AND COMPASS

ARE DANGEROUS PIECES
OF EQUIPMENT.

- I LOVE YOU.
- I LOVE YOU TOO.

BYE, LADIES.
TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY ANNIE.

- WILL DO.

- STEP UP!

- THAT'S WHAT SHE TOLD ME.

- BOY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

- I DON'T KNOW.

- HYAH!

HOLD ON. WHOA!

[shouts indistinctly]

WHOA.
WHOA...WHOA.

EASY.

- WELL, RIGHT ON TIME,
ISN'T IT?

I'LL SEE TO THE BAGS.
- GOT IT?

- CHECK ON THE TEAM, IKE.

- WELCOME HOME, DARLIN'.

- OH, EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.
- HOW WAS THE TRIP?

- DUSTY.
[laughter]

- YOU MUST BE JOSHUA COYLE.

- YES, SIR.

- LEE OWENS.
WELCOME TO SIKESTON.

HOW WAS YOUR TRIP?

- I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW FAR
IT WAS JUST TO GET HERE.

NOTHING BUT WIDE-OPEN SPACES.

- THIS YOUR FIRST TIME
AWAY FROM HOME?

- YES, SIR.

- WELL, SIKESTON'S
A NICE LITTLE TOWN.

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

- I EXPECT SO.

- CAN I HELP YOU
WITH YOUR THINGS?

- DON'T HAVE MUCH.

- ALL RIGHT.

COME ON, LET ME SHOW YOU
THE SHOP.

- SOUNDS GOOD.

- SO WE DO A LITTLE BIT
OF EVERYTHING HERE.

LIVERY WORK AND ROLLING STOCK.

CUSTOM WORK
FOR THE BUILDING TRADE.

NOW, WHEN YOUR BLOWS ARE EVEN

AND YOU CAN WORK
A STRAIGHT PIECE OF METAL,

THOSE WILL BE YOUR TOOLS.

IT'S HARD WORK,

BUT WHEN YOU MANAGE
TO MAKE SOMETHING

THAT LASTS A GENERATION OR TWO,

WELL, IT GIVES YOU
A SENSE OF PRIDE.

- I RECKON THAT'S TRUE.

[dog groaning]

- WHAT DO YOU SAY?
READY TO GET STARTED?

- YES, SIR.

- ALL RIGHT, THEN.

- HOW WAS YOUR WALK?

- LIKE CARRYING AROUND
A 30-POUND SACK OFLOUR.

SLOW DAY?

- OH, I'M SURE IT'S ONLY
A MATTER OF TIME

BEFORE SOMEONE COMES IN
FROM GETTING CAUGHT

ON A RUSTY NAIL
OR FALLING OFF A LADDER.

- WHEN I WAS TRAVELING
THROUGH SALINA LAST MONTH,

THERE WAS A RASH
OF COPPERHEAD SNAKE BITES.

IT FELT LIKE EVERY DAY SOMEONE
WAS DRAGGED INTO THE CLINIC.

- I HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING
AS EXCITING AS A SNAKE BITE

IN MONTHS.

- YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL

TO HAVE
A HEALTHY COMMUNITY TO SERVE.

IT'S OUR JOB AS DOCTORS
TO CARE ABOUT

EVEN THE MOST MINOR ILLNESS
OR AFFLICTION.

AND OUR PATIENTS DESERVE
AND NEED OUR COMPASSION.

- THAT'S RIGHT OUT
OF THE TEXTBOOK.

- BELINDA, ARE YOU SURE
THERE ISN'T ANYTHING

YOU'D LIKE TO TALK
TO ME ABOUT?

YOU CAN TELL ME ANYTHING,
YOU KNOW THAT.

OH!

- WHAT IS IT?

- A QUICK, SHARP PAIN
AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH

AND MINOR FAINTNESS.

- LET'S GET YOU TO
AN EXAMINATION ROOM.

- THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.

- IS THE BABY MOVING?

- IT ISN'T THAT.

IT'S NOTHING TO BE
CONCERNED ABOUT.

- LET ME FINISH SOME THINGS UP,
AND WE'LL GET YOU HOME.

- YOU KNOW, MY PA SAYS
WALKING'S GOOD

FOR A MAN'S CONSTITUTION.

DO YOU ALWAYS WALK?

- LATELY I'VE BEEN RIDING.

- YOU WALKING TO MY CAMP?

- NO, NO.

I GOT A HORSE TO GIVE
TO LILLIAN.

BUT HE'S STILL A LITTLE GREEN.

TESTY.

I'VE BEEN BREAKING HIM,
GETTING READY FOR HER TO RIDE.

FIGURED I'D GIVE HIM AND ME
THE DAY OFF.

- I KNOW NOTHING
OF SADDLE HORSES,

ONLY HARNESS PRO.

I'LL STICK WITH WAGONS.

- YOU'RE BETTER FOR IT.

- I REALLY WISH
YOU WOULD JUST SIT DOWN

AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TODAY.

- WHAT HAPPENED TODAY?

- ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT.

AND THAT'S COMING FROM
THE DOCTOR IN ME.

- WHEN YOU GO HOME,
WHO WILL DELIVER YOUR BABY?

- MY MOTHER-IN-LAW.
SHE'S A MIDWIFE.

- WELL, I WISH I WAS THE ONE
DELIVERING YOUR BABY.

IT'S A DOCTOR'S JOB,
AFTER ALL.

- I'M SURE IT'S GONNA BE FINE.

- LADIES,
HOPE YOU DON'T MIND,

I BROUGHT HOME A GUEST
FOR SUPPER.

AHH...UH--

- AND YOU MUST BE JOSHUA.
WELCOME TO OUR HOME.

- VERY NICE TO MEET YOU,
MRS. OWENS.

- UH, THAT'S DOCTOROWENS.

- YOU'RE A DOCTOR?

- YES, AS IS MY BEST FRIEND,
DR. ANNIE WATSON.

- IT'S A PLEASURE
TO MEET YOU, JOSHUA.

- MA'AM.

IT'S FUNNY,
I JUST HAD NO IDEA WOMEN

WERE ALLOWED TO BE DOCTORS.

- "ALLOWED"?!
- NO, I JUST--

- AND JUST WHO WOULD WE
NEED PERMISSION FROM?!

- GO EASY ON HIM, LIL.
HE JUST GOT HERE.

I'M SURE HE'S AWARE
OF WHAT WOMEN CAN ACCOMPLISH.

HMM?

- APPARENTLY NOT.

- THAT'S OUR DAUGHTER LILLIAN.

WE RAISED HER
TO SPEAK HER MIND.

YOU'LL GET USED TO IT.

WELL, NOW...

LET'S GO GET WASHED UP.

SMELLS LIKE MY FAVORITE.

- WELL, SHE CERTAINLY IS
YOUR DAUGHTER.

- INDEED.

- MISS OWENS.
- MR. COYLE.

- I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW...

I MEANT NO DISRESPECT EARLIER.

- I WOULD EXPRESS AN OPINION,
BUT I'M NOT SURE I'M ALLOWED.

- WELL, I'D VERY MUCH LIKE
TO HEAR YOUR OPINIONS.

- I THINK YOU'RE
VERY OLD-FASHIONED.

WOMEN CAN PURSUE
ANY CAREER THEY WANT THESE DAYS.

THEY ALREADY HAVE FEMALE
LAWYERS, DOCTORS, MINISTERS.

A TOWN IN KANSAS EVEN HAD
A WOMAN MAYOR.

- I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS
TO YOUR MOTHER AND AUNT

BEING DOCTORS--
I SWEAR.

IT'S JUST, WELL...

I'VE NEVER MET
A LADY DOCTOR BEFORE.

I'M APOLOGIZING.

GUESS I'M JUST NOT DOING
A VERY GOOD JOB.

- APOLOGY ACCEPTED.

- WELL, I'LL LEAVE YOU
TO YOUR SCHOOLWORK.

- OH, THIS ISN'T FOR SCHOOL.

- SO YOU READ FOR FUN?

- I'D READ JUST ABOUT ALL DAY
IF MA AND PA LET ME.

- WELL, ALL RIGHT.

I WILL LEAVE YOU TO YOUR BOOK,
MISS OWENS.

- GOOD NIGHT, MR. COYLE.

- NICE YOUNG MAN.

- I HADN'T NOTICED.

- GOOD NIGHT, PUMPKIN.

- GOOD NIGHT, PA.

[knock on door]

- COME IN.

- HOW ARE YOU?

- I FEEL FINE.

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

- I CAN'T GET PREGNANT.

- BELINDA, YOU'RE YOUNG
AND HEALTHY.

IT MAY JUST TAKE SOME TIME.

- IT'S JUST...

I THINK LEE IS
SO DISAPPOINTED.

- HAVE THE TWO OF YOU TALKED
ABOUT IT?

- YES.

AND HE SAYS HE'S FINE
WITH THE WAY OUR LIVES ARE.

BUT RECENTLY HE'S BEEN AT WORK
MORE THAN EVER.

- HIS BUSINESS IS BOOMING.

HE'S HAD TO HIRE HELP.

- YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.

I'M REALLY GLAD YOU'RE BACK,
AND WE CAN TALK AGAIN.

- ME TOO.

OH!

- ANNIE, WHAT IS IT?

- IT'S THAT PAIN AGAIN.

AND IT'S MORE SEVERE
THIS TIME.

I FEEL LIGHTHEADED.

BELINDA, I THINK SOMETHING
IS REALLY WRONG.

- IS SHE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?

- I BELIEVE SO.

- THE BABY?

- HE SHOULD BE FINE,
FOR NOW.

ANNIE THINKS IT WAS
PRETERM LABOR,

BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW.

- WHY?
- I THINK IT'S ECLAMPSIA.

- THAT SOUNDS SERIOUS.
WHAT IS IT?

- IT'S A CONDITION
OF PREGNANT WOMEN,

BUT IT'S NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD.

- WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
THAT ANNIE HAS IT?

- WELL, THE SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
MUSCLE ACHES AND PAIN,

SEVERE AGITATION,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, SEIZURES.

- DID SHE HAVE A SEIZURE?
- NO.

BUT SHE HAS
ALL THE OTHER SYMPTOMS.

- WELL, I'LL TELEGRAPH PETER
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

TELL HIM WHAT'S HAPPENED.

- THANK YOU.

AND LET HIM KNOW I THINK
IT'S BEST THAT ANNIE STAY HERE

FOR THE REMAINDER
OF HER PREGNANCY.

BED REST IS CRUCIAL.

- WHILE I'M AT IT,
I'LL WIRE HIS MOTHER.

YOU SAID SHE LIVES
IN SPARTAN?

- THANK YOU.

[chickens clucking]

- DO YOU REALLY THINK
THIS IS NECESSARY?

- TOTAL REST FOR YOU,
MRS. WATSON.

AND A DARK ROOM
IS CONDUCIVE TO REST.

- TO BEING LAZY, YOU MEAN.

I CANNOT JUST LAY AROUND
ALL DAY.

I'M A DOCTOR, REMEMBER?

- BUT I AM YOUR DOCTOR,
AND THIS IS MY HOME.

AND IF IT IS ECLAMPSIA,
YOU KNOW BED REST IS CALLED FOR.

- DON'T YOU THINK
YOU'RE OVERREACTING?

- PERHAPS.

BUT IF I'M NOT,
I WON'T BE SORRY LATER.

I LOVE YOU.
- I LOVE YOU TOO.

- A PEAR FOR MY PEACH.

- ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT
ME TO STAY HOME WITH AUNT ANNIE?

- NO, YOU JUST RUN ALONG
TO SCHOOL.

I'LL POST A NOTE
ON THE CLINIC,

AND IF SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS ME,
THEY KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME.

- GOOD MORNING, LADIES.

- MORNING.

BYE, MA.
- HAVE A GOOD DAY, DARLIN'.

- BYE, PA.
- BYE.

THAT GIRL KICKS UP
A CLOUD OF DUST

EVERYWHERE SHE GOES.

- HERE YOU GO.

- IS THIS YOUR WAY
OF TELLING ME

NOT TO COME HOME FOR SUPPER?

- THE OTHER ONE IS FOR JOSHUA.

A YOUNG MAN, JUST STARTING OFF.

LOOKED LIKE HE COULD USE
A FEW MORE GOOD MEALS.

- DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU?

- WELL, IT NEVER HURTS
TO HEAR IT.

- COME HERE.

- [both] MWAH!

- I LOVE YOU TOO, LEE OWENS.

OH, AND DON'T FORGET TO SEND
THE TELEGRAMS.

- ALL RIGHT.

- HAVE A GOOD DAY,
SWEET DARLIN'.

[horse whinnies]

- "BELINDA FEELS ANNIE'S
HEALTH, AS WELL AS THE BABY'S,

"IS BETTER SERVED STAYING HERE
UNTIL AFTER THE DELIVERY.

I HAVE WIRED PETER
THE SAME MESSAGE--LEE OWENS."

- WELL, THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.
- WELL...

- DOC OWENS.

- MR. MCQUEEN.

SORRY, WE'RE CLOSED TODAY.

BUT IF YOU'D LIKE
TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT--

- WERE YOU THE ONE
THAT GAVE MABEL THIS TONIC?

- YES.
IT'S IRON FOR HER ANEMIA.

- WHY YOU GOT TO GO
TELLING HER

SHE'S GOT THIS AND THAT
CONDITION?

WHAT SHE HAS IS A SPELL
OF LAZINESS.

- MABEL IS SICK,
MR. MCQUEEN.

GIVE HER THAT MEDICINE.

- I DON'T NEED
YOUR MAGIC POTION.

A DOCTOR KILLED MY SISTER
WITH TONIC.

- I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS
OF YOUR SISTER'S DEATH,

BUT THERE'S NO MAGIC TO IT.

YOUR WIFE HAD A BABY
A MONTH AGO,

AND SHE HAS A VERY SERIOUS
MEDICAL CONDITION.

MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T
SO HARDHEADED,

YOU WOULD REALIZE THAT.
NOW, MY ADVICE--

- I DON'T NEED YOUR MOUTH
NOR YOUR ADVICE.

AND I DON'T NEED
YOUR MAGIC POTION!

DOCTORS AREN'T WORTH A HOOT
AND HOLLER!

[horse whinnies]

- ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
BELINDA?

- YES, I'M JUST FRUSTRATED

AT A VERY STUBBORN
AND HARDHEADED MAN.

- LLOYD MCQUEEN IS TRULY SET
IN HIS WAYS,

BUT HE'S STILL A CHILD
OF OUR MAKER.

- HE HAS NO COMPASSION
FOR HIS WIFE'S CONDITION.

- CAN'T WE ALL GET CAUGHT UP
IN OUR OWN LIVES AT TIMES

AND LOSE SIGHT OF THE COMPASSION
WE SHOULD HAVE FOR OTHERS?

THERE I GO PREACHING AGAIN.

- OH, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I SUPPOSE I NEEDED TO HEAR IT.

- I'LL SEE YOU IN CHURCH,
BELINDA.

GOOD DAY.

[fire whooshes]

- THAT'S IT, STEADY BLOWS.

ALL RIGHT.

- YOUR DAUGHTER SEEMS
VERY SMART, MR. OWENS.

IT MUST RUN IN THE FAMILY.

- I WISH I COULD TAKE CREDIT
FOR LILLIAN'S INTELLIGENCE,

BUT SHE WAS ADOPTED.

STILL, I COULDN'T BE PROUDER.
- REALLY?

- MM.
- I NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN.

I MEAN, SHE AND MRS.--
I MEAN DR. OWENS--

SORT OF LOOK ALIKE.

- THAT A FACT?

- WELL, YEAH, I MEAN,
IT'S JUST...

LILLIAN'S VERY PRETTY.

- YEAH, I KNOW SHE'S PRETTY.

[bell clanging]

- I'M TRUTHFULLY NOT
THAT HUNGRY.

- DOCTOR'S ORDERS.

EVEN IF YOU DON'T
FEEL UP TO IT,

YOU NEED TO FINISH
THE ENTIRE BOWL.

- I'M NOT A CHILD, BELINDA.

AND I'M A DOCTOR.

I THINK I KNOW
WHAT'S BEST FOR ME.

- KNOWING AND DOING ARE
TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS.

- [sharp exhale]

- IS THAT ANOTHER CONTRACTION?

- NO, THE BABY'S JUST KICKING.

AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU,
I'M A LITTLE RELIEVED.

I HAVEN'T FELT HIM MOVE SINCE
THE CONTRACTIONS YESTERDAY.

- YOU JUST SAID IT WAS...
A HE?

HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S A BOY?

- I KNOW IT SOUNDS SILLY,

BUT MARY THINKS,
BECAUSE I'M CARRYING SO LOW,

THAT IT'LL BE A BOY.

- IT IS SILLY.

THAT'S AN OLD WIVES' TALE.

THERE'S NO MEDICAL MERIT TO IT.

- SAY WHAT YOU WANT,

BUT WHEN PETER'S SISTER
WAS PREGNANT,

MARY WAS CONCERNED
BECAUSE SHE WAS CARRYING

SO FAR OUT IN FRONT.

SHE SAID IT WOULD BE
A BREECH BIRTH,

AND SHE WAS RIGHT.

- ONE LUCKY GUESS,

AND SHE'S GOT YOU BELIEVING
MADE-UP STORIES.

- GOODNESS, HE'S GETTING
HIS EXERCISE TODAY.

DO YOU WANT TO FEEL?

- THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

- COME ON, BELINDA.
DON'T BE NERVOUS.

IT'S SO STRANGE.

I NEVER THOUGHT
I'D BE A MOTHER.

NOW IT SUDDENLY FEELS LIKE
THE MOST NATURAL THING

IN THE WORLD.

I'M SORRY.

I'VE OPENED THAT WOUND,
HAVEN'T I?

MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T TALK
ABOUT IT.

- YOU KNOW,
I KNOW SO MANY WOMEN

THAT HAVE GOTTEN PREGNANT
WITHOUT EVEN TRYING.

AND LEE AND I HAVE
BEEN TRYING.

- WE'VE BOTH SEEN IT
TAKE SOME TIME.

YOU JUST CAN'T GET IMPATIENT
WITH YOURSELF.

- I LOOK AFTER THIS ONE WOMAN,
MABEL MCQUEEN.

SHE'S HAD SIX BABIES
IN THE PAST EIGHT YEARS

WITHOUT EVEN TRYING.

- IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU,
ISN'T IT?

- I'D BEST GET SUPPER READY.

LEE AND LILLIAN
WILL BE HOME SOON.

- I'M HERE TO TALK
WHENEVER YOU'D LIKE TO.

- PLEASE EAT YOUR SOUP, ANNIE.

- I WAS WONDERING
WHERE YOU'D RUN OFF TO.

[sighs]

I JUST LOOKED IN ON ANNIE.
SHE'S OUT FOR THE NIGHT.

- SHE KEEPS INSISTING
SHE FEELS FINE.

- [chuckles]

I THINK I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE.

YOU TWO ARE SO MUCH ALIKE
IT'S FRIGHTENING.

- [chuckles]

I SUPPOSE THAT'S WHY
WE'RE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS.

- MM.

- I NOTICED YOU DIDN'T
HAVE JOSHUA OVER

FOR SUPPER TONIGHT.

- AW, I'M PRETTY SURE
HE'S SWEET ON LIL.

[sighs deeply]

I DON'T WANT THE TWO OF THEM
SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME TOGETHER.

- WHY NOT?
HE'S ONLY A COUPLE YEARS OLDER.

- DOC, HE'S
AN APPRENTICE BLACKSMITH.

I WANT BETTER FOR LILLIAN.

- I'M THE WIFE
OF A BLACKSMITH,

AND YOU DON'T HEAR ME
COMPLAINING.

- I'VE SPENT
THE LAST FIVE YEARS

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW
I TRICKED YOU INTO MARRYING ME.

YOU COULD HAVE DONE
MUCH BETTER.

- YOU DIDN'T TRICK ME
INTO ANYTHING.

I MARRIED YOU BECAUSE I FELL
IN LOVE WITH YOU, LEE OWENS.

AND IF LILLIAN AND JOSHUA
TAKE AN INTEREST IN ONE ANOTHER,

I DON'T THINK IT'S OUR PLACE
TO STAND IN THEIR WAY.

BESIDES, TELLING LILLIAN
SHE CAN'T HAVE SOMETHING

IS LIKE DARING TO TRY
TO STOP HER.

[laughter]

- I GET YOUR POINT.

I DON'T WANT TO GET IN THE WAY
OF HER HAPPINESS.

STILL, YOU LEFT A SMALL TOWN
TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAM.

AND IF LIL WANTS TO GO
TO COLLEGE,

I DARN SURE WANT
TO SEE IT HAPPEN.

I DON'T WANT HER TIED DOWN
TO SIKESTON.

- I HOPE SHE KNOWS
WHAT A WONDERFUL

AND CARING FATHER SHE HAS.

- IT'S GETTING
A LITTLE CHILLY.

WANNA TURN IN FOR THE NIGHT?

- YOU GO AHEAD.
I'LL BE UP IN A LITTLE WHILE.

- DON'T BE IN SUCH A HURRY,
PRETTY LADY.

- PLEASE ALLOW ME TO PASS.

- OH, NO,

WE NEED TO GET
TO KNOW EACH OTHER.

- I THINK NOT.

I DON'T WANT TO BE LATE
FOR SCHOOL.

- I CAN TEACH YOU MORE
THAN ANY SCHOOL CAN.

- EXCUSE ME.

YOU MIND LETTING
THE YOUNG LADY PASS?

- THIS AIN'T NONE
OF YOUR AFFAIR, SODBUSTER.

- AH, BUT IT IS.

- IT AIN'T.

I'M GONNA KNOCK
YOUR HEAD OFF, BOY.

- ALL RIGHT, NOW,
YOU HOLD ON A SECOND.

NOW, THE GOOD BOOK TELLS ME
TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK.

NOW, I ONLY HAVE TWO.

SO AFTER THE SECOND,
I'M ON MY OWN.

[overlapping crowd chatter]

- [pained groans]

- NOW, THAT WAS
THE SECOND CHEEK.

- YOU'RE BREAKING MY WRIST!

- WELL, I UNDERSTAND

THERE'S A FINE DOCTOR IN TOWN.

- PLEASE, DON'T--
PLEASE DON'T BREAK IT.

- I TRUST I'LL NEVER SEE YOU
AROUND MISS OWENS AGAIN.

- NO, NEVER.
- GOOD!

NOW, GIT!

[overlapping murmurs]

- MORNING, MISS OWENS.
YOU WERE ON YOUR WAY TO SCHOOL?

- INDEED, I AM.

[horse whinnies]

- MAY I WALK WITH YOU?

- I DID THE BEST I COULD, JIM,

BUT YOU GOTTA GO EASY ON IT,
ALL RIGHT?

[fire whooshes]

- YOUR PA STRIKES ME
AS A HARD-WORKING MAN.

- HE LIVES AND BREATHES WORK.

MA SAYS SOMETIMES
HE ROLLS OVER IN HIS SLEEP

AND TRIES TO USE HER ARMS
LIKE A SET OF TONGS.

- [chuckles]
I GUESS THAT'S THE FUTURE

I HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

- IT'S NOT SUCH
A BAD LIFE, REALLY.

- SO WHAT ABOUT YOU?

GONNA BECOME A DOCTOR,
LIKE YOUR MA?

- I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVEN'T DECIDED.

MAYBE I WANT TO BE A LAWYER

OR A FAMOUS WRITER,
LIKE HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.

ONE THING FOR SURE,
I WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE.

- WELL, I BETTER GET TO WORK.

- HAVE A NICE DAY...
JOSHUA.

- YOU TOO, LILLIAN.

- I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE
CLIMBING THE STAIRS.

- BUT I FEEL FINE.

WHAT'S MAKING ME CRAZY IS
SITTING IN A DARK ROOM ALL DAY.

- BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN
THREE DAYS

SINCE YOU HAD PAIN
AND FELT FAINT.

YOU KNOW THE SYMPTOMS
AND TREATMENT AS WELL AS I DO.

- THAT'S ASSUMING
YOUR DIAGNOSIS IS CORRECT.

[woman singing outside]

- IS THAT SINGING?

- I WOULD KNOW THAT VOICE
ANYWHERE.

THAT'S MARY!

- YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW?

WHAT REASON DOES SHE HAVE
TO BE HERE?

- MARY DOESN'T NEED A REASON
TO DO ANYTHING.

[Mary continues singing off-key]

- ♪ PREVAILING

WELL, THIS MUST BE IT.

- WHOA, TEAM.

- THANK YOU, MY GOOD MAN,
AND YOU HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

AND YOU MUST BE
THE INFAMOUS DOC OWENS.

- INFAMOUS?

- MARY WATSON.

OH, BUT YOU KNEW THAT ALREADY.

NOW, WHERE IS MY PEACH PIE?

OH, WOULD YOU BE A DEAR
AND BRING MY THINGS ALONG?

[chuckles]

- MARY,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU
EXPECT ME TO BE?

OH, MY LITTLE LAMB.

- BUT DIDN'T YOU GET THE
TELEGRAM FROM BELINDA'S HUSBAND?

- I DID.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST YOU

FINISHING OUT YOUR TERM
WITH YOUR FRIEND.

BUT I CERTAINLY WASN'T GOING
TO MISS THE BIRTH

OF MY FIRST GRANDSON.

- I'VE MISSED YOU.

- AH, IT'S DARKER THAN
THE INSIDE OF A COW IN HERE!

- YES, IT IS.
- OH, PLEASE DON'T DO THAT.

- SHE'S NOT A MUSHROOM.
SHE NEEDS LIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, DARLIN',
LET'S SIT UP,

SO I CAN GET
A GOOD LOOK AT YOU.

- I'M SORRY,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- I'M GETTING HER UPRIGHT.

IF SHE STAYS
IN THIS BED TOO LONG,

SHE'LL GET A CRICK
IN HER BACK,

AND IT'LL MAKE DELIVERY
MUCH MORE PAINFUL.

- I THINK IT'S BETTER
THAT SHE'S ON BED REST

FOR THE REMAINDER
OF HER TERM.

- IT'S NOT GONNA HURT HER
TO SIT UP.

WHEN YOU'VE DELIVERED
AS MANY BABIES AS I HAVE,

YOU LEARN A FEW THINGS.

- WELL, I'VE BEEN
TO MEDICAL SCHOOL FOR YEARS,

AND REST
IS THE PROPER TREATMENT.

- YOU DON'T LEARN EVERYTHING
IN MEDICAL SCHOOL!

- THAT IS A MATTER
OF OPINION,

AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY
DISAGREE!

- LADIES,
I'M NOT A SACK OF FLOUR!

- THERE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE WORST BLIZZARD

I EVER SAW.

I WASN'T TOO SURPRISED

WHEN THREE BABIES
WERE DELIVERED THAT NIGHT.

I EXPECTED TWINS...
NOT TRIPLETS.

- IN A BLIZZARD?

- OH, THE LITTLE ONES POP OUT
WHENEVER THEY WANT,

REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER.

- FORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE
MANY EMERGENCIES.

- WOMEN GIVING BIRTH ARE ALWAYS
AN EMERGENCY.

[chuckles]

THAT'S THE PENALTY WE PAY

FOR EVE EATING THE APPLE.

- IT IS NOT A PENALTY.

- WOW, MRS. WATSON, YOU SURE
GOT AN EXCITING LIFE.

- WELL, I SHOULD PROBABLY
GET YOU UP TO YOUR ROOM, ANNIE.

- YOU LET THAT LITTLE FELLA
START RUNNING YOUR LIFE NOW,

YOU'LL BE LACING HIS SHOES
WHEN HE'S 30.

- YES, ANNIE TOLD ME
YOU BELIEVE IT'S A BOY.

- BELIEVE NOTHING!
IT'S A FACT.

- [chuckles]
HONESTLY, MARY, YOU CAN'T POS--

- ACTUALLY,
I AM A LITTLE TIRED.

I'M GONNA GO TO BED.

I CAN MANAGE ON MY OWN.

GOOD NIGHT, ALL.

- GOOD NIGHT, ANNIE.
- REST WELL, DEAR.

- GOOD NIGHT, AUNT ANNIE.

- GOOD NIGHT, ANNIE.

- THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL
WHETHER--

- I THINK IT'S TIME
WE ALL SETTLED DOWN, HUH?

WE HAVE A FULL DAY TOMORROW.

- THANK YOU FOR DINNER,
DR. OWENS.

- JOSHUA,

LILLIAN TOLD US
THAT YOU CAME TO HER RESCUE.

HER MOTHER AND I BOTH
APPRECIATE IT.

- IT WAS MY PLEASURE, SIR.

THANK YOU AGAIN.

- I'LL WALK YOU OUT.

- AREN'T THEY
THE MOST ADORABLE COUPLE?!

- SO TELL ME, HOW IS
CAPTAIN NEMO THIS EVENING?

- WHEN I LEFT HIM, HE WAS
EXPLORING THE RUINS OF ATLANTIS,

ALTHOUGH I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE

WHAT HE DOES
WHEN I'M NOT LOOKING.

- I NEVER MET A GIRL THAT MADE
A BOOK SOUND SO INTERESTING.

- YOU CAN BORROW IT
IF YOU LIKE.

- OH, NO, I'M NOT SURE
IF I'M SOLD ON NEMO JUST YET.

MAYBE YOU COULD READ
SOME OF IT TO ME, THOUGH.

JUST SO I CAN FIND OUT
IF IT'S MY KIND OF STORY.

- I COULD DO THAT.

- WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO
ON A PICNIC WITH ME?

MAYBE ON SATURDAY?

WE CAN GO OUT AND FIND
A NICE QUIET SPOT AND READ.

- I THINK I KNOW
JUST THE PLACE.

- LEE OWENS, YOU ARE NOT SPYING
ON OUR ONLY DAUGHTER.

- I'M NOT SPYING ON HER,
I'M JUST LOOKING OUT FOR HER.

- GOOD NIGHT.

[random chatter
and horses snorting]

[fire hissing]

- NO, IT NEEDS A COTTER PIN!

- LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT THERE.

WELL, YOU'RE, UH--
YOU'RE REALLY IMPROVING.

- THANK YOU, SIR.

I'M TRYING MY BEST
TO IMPRESS YOU.

- JUST AS LONG AS IT'S ME
YOU'RE TRYING TO IMPRESS.

- WELL, TO BE HONEST,
I WANTED TO ASK YOU...

- [heavy sigh]

- MAYBE, UH...
LILLIAN AND I...

- YOU WANT PERMISSION
TO COURT LILLIAN.

RIGHT?

- YES, SIR.

- WELL, I DON'T WANT HER
DISTRACTED FROM HER GOALS.

- I PROMISE I'LL BE
RESPECTFUL OF HER

AND NOT GET IN THE WAY
OF HER SCHOOLING.

I KNOW HOW MUCH SHE WANTS
TO GO TO COLLEGE.

- WELL...
I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

ALL RIGHT?
- I UNDERSTAND.

- MEANTIME, FINISH UP
WITH THAT HORSESHOE.

MILLER WANTS HIS ORDER
BY NOON.

- YES, SIR.

[horse whinnies]

- YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE
OPENING YOUR CLINIC.

- I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE
LEAVING ANNIE HERE ALL ALONE,

AND I CERTAINLY DON'T FEEL
COMFORTABLE

WITH HER BEING
OUT OF BED THIS MUCH.

- YOU KNOW,
I WISH THE TWO OF YOU

WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT ME AS IF
I WASN'T SITTING RIGHT HERE.

- SORRY, SWEETHEART.

YOU MUST BE SO FRUSTRATED,

COOPED UP INSIDE ALL THE TIME.

I WILL BE HERE WITH HER
ALL DAY.

YOU TEND TO YOUR PATIENTS,
AND WE'LL SEE YOU AT SUPPER.

- IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,
I'LL BE CLOSE BY.

- THANK YOU.

- HAVE A NICE DAY.

[door closes]
- PRAISE THE LORD, WE'RE FREE!

PEACH PIE, YOU GET DRESSED.

WE ARE GOING OUT
TO SMELL THE ROSES.

- AH, GOING TO TOWN!

AHH.

- DOC OWENS,
CAN I TALK TO YOU?

- MRS. MCQUEEN, COME IN.

- I ONLY HAVE A MINUTE.

I LEFT LLOYD
AT THE GENERAL STORE.

SAID I WAS RUNNING
TO THE BUTCHER.

- WHAT CAN I DO
FOR YOU, MABEL?

- DOC, I FEEL TERRIBLE.

THIS SICKNESS,
IT'S JUST GETTING WORSE.

I'M DIZZY ALL THE TIME,

AND I CAN BARELY PICK UP
THE YOUNGUNS.

- THAT'S BECAUSE
YOUR ANEMIA'S GETTING WORSE.

YOUR BODY NEEDS IRON.
YOU'RE ONLY GONNA GET SICKER.

- WHAT CAN I DO
TO MAKE IT BETTER?

I ALREADY TOLD YOU,
VEGETABLES OR THE TONIC.

IF YOU DON'T LISTEN
TO MY INSTRUCTIONS,

THERE IS NOTHING MORE
I CAN DO.

- I TRIED TO TAKE THE TONIC.
REALLY, I DID.

EVEN STARTED TO FEEL
A LITTLE STRONGER.

AND THEN LLOYD FOUND IT,
AND YOU KNOW THE REST.

- I CERTAINLY DO.
HE THREW A BOTTLE AT ME.

- I'M SORRY FOR THAT.
REALLY, I AM.

HE WAS JUST UPSET.
HE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING BY IT.

HE'S A WONDERFUL HUSBAND
AND A FATHER.

- MAYBE, BUT I CAN'T HELP YOU
IF YOU WON'T HELP YOURSELF.

GOOD DAY, MRS. MCQUEEN.

- YOUR FRIEND BELINDA
DOESN'T SEEM TOO HAPPY.

I'D SAY IT'S JUST THAT
SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME,

BUT EVERYBODY LIKES ME.

- SHE ISN'T HAPPY.

SHE'S BEEN TRYING
TO HAVE A BABY.

BELINDA JUST FEELS
DISCOURAGED.

AND ME SHOWING UP
IN MY CONDITION

AND STAYING
TILL THE BABY COMES...

I THINK IT'S JUST
ANOTHER PAINFUL REMINDER.

- WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY
SOMETHING SOONER?

IF IT'S BABY TROUBLE
SHE'S GOT,

I'VE SURELY GOT THE CURE.

HOW 'BOUT A SUGARY TREAT?

- OKAY.

- I'M SORRY, LLOYD,
IT ISN'T HERE YET.

- IT'S BEEN OVER A WEEK.
YOU SAID IT'D BE HERE BY NOW!

- THE FREIGHT LINE LOST
THE SHIPPING ORDER.

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO
ABOUT IT.

- THERE'S SOMETHING I COULD DO

IF THERE WAS ANOTHER
GENERAL STORE

WITHIN TEN MILES OF HERE.

- IT'LL BE HERE
WITHIN A WEEK.

- I'M HERE, LLOYD.

- WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

- I'M SORRY, LLOYD.

THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT
OF A LINE.

- THERE'S ALWAYS AN EXCUSE.
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.

I GOT FENCES TO MEND
BEFORE SUNDOWN.

- LOOK THERE.
- SHE'S HURT.

- ANNIE!

- MA'AM? MA'AM?

- SHE'S JUST FEELING POORLY
OF LATE.

SHE'S GOT A NEWBORN
AND FIVE YOUNGUNS.

SAYS IT WEARS HER OUT.

- YOU THINK A MOTHER
DOESN'T WORK.

[scoffs]
I'VE SEEN THIS A BUNCH,

DURING AND AFTER PREGNANCY.

- THIS IS A SEVERE CASE
OF ANEMIA.

- SHE DON'T NEED CODDLIN',
LADY!

I KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE
OF MY WIFE.

- NO, YOU DON'T!

YOU ARE SELFISH AND RUDE
AND CONTEMPTUOUS.

AND YOU CAN'T SEE THE FOREST
FOR THE TREES!

DOC OWENS IS TRYING
TO SAVE YOUR WIFE'S LIFE.

SHE'S DYING.

YOU GET HER OVER
TO THE CLINIC,

AND YOU BEG DOC OWENS
FOR MORE OF THAT TONIC.

- DON'T TALK TO ME
LIKE THAT.

- I'LL TALK TO YOU
ANY WAY I WANT.

GET HER TO THE CLINIC!

AND YOU'D BETTER PRAY
TO THE MERCIFUL AND GOOD LORD

THAT SHE DOESN'T SLAM THE DOOR

IN YOUR UNGRATEFUL FACE!

- AMEN. AMEN.

[random chatter]

- I GAVE YOU A DOUBLE DOSE,
SO DO NOT TAKE ANY MORE TODAY.

- NO, MA'AM.
STARTING TOMORROW MORNING,

TAKE TWO TEASPOONS
EVERY MORNING.

- AND IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR
STRENGTH BACK IN FOUR DAYS,

GET BACK IN HERE.

I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE.

THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE,
I LOST MY TEMPER.

- WHAT DO I OWE YOU
FOR THE TONIC?

- ONLY THAT YOU ALLOW HER
TO KEEP TAKING IT.

- WE DON'T NEED NO CHARITY.

- THE FIRST ONE WAS
ALREADY PAID FOR.

THIS IS JUST A REPLACEMENT.

- STEP UP!

- [sigh]

- YES, DEAR.

- I'M SORRY.
YOU'RE SLEEPING?

- WELL, NOT ANYMORE.

- MY APPRENTICE
WANTS TO COURT LILLIAN.

- HIS NAME IS JOSHUA.

- I TOLD HIM
I'D THINK ABOUT IT.

- WELL, THEN, THINK.

BUT DON'T THINK TOO LONG.
LILLIAN'S GROWING UP.

- I'M HAVING A HARD TIME
WITH IT.

- YOU'RE HAVING A HARD TIME
LETTING HER GROW UP.

- JUST TRYING TO PROTECT HER.

- I DON'T THINK SHE NEEDS
PROTECTION FROM JOSHUA.

HE'S A VERY NICE YOUNG MAN.

- THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT IT?

- GOOD NIGHT, SWEETHEART.

- [sighs]
ALL RIGHT.

TOMORROW I'LL GIVE JOSHUA
MY PERMISSION

TO COURT LIL.

- DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW

ABOUT YOUR LITTLE EXCURSION
WITH ANNIE.

THIS TOWN IS FILLED
WITH GOSSIPS.

CAN'T KEEP A SECRET
FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES.

- IT'S A PRETTY LITTLE TOWN,
SIKESTON.

I CAN SEE WHY
YOU LIKE IT HERE.

- MAY I ASK
WHY YOU FEEL THE NEED

TO GO AGAINST EVERY INSTRUCTION
I HAVE FOR ANNIE?

- I DON'T DELIBERATELY GO
AGAINST YOUR WORD.

WE JUST...DISAGREE
ABOUT HOW TO TREAT HER.

- THIS ISN'T
A COMPETITION, MARY.

- IF A PATIENT CAME TO YOU
WITH GANGRENE OR PNEUMONIA,

I WOULDN'T DREAM OF TELLING YOU
HOW TO TREAT THEM.

THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS.

BABIES ARE MY BUSINESS.
HAVE BEEN FOR 30 YEARS.

- IT'S JUST THAT THERE'S BEEN
SO MANY NEW ADVANCEMENTS.

- SOMETIMES THE OLD WAYS
ARE BEST.

- ANNIE MAY HAVE
A SERIOUS CONDITION

WHICH COULD BE FATAL
TO BOTH HER AND THE BABY.

- ARE YOU SURE?
- OF COURSE I'M NOT SURE.

BUT I'M NOT TAKING
ANY CHANCES.

- SO IT'S TRUE
WHAT THEY SAY,

THAT DOCTORS ONLY PRACTICE
MEDICINE.

- THIS CONVERSATION OBVIOUSLY
ISN'T GETTING US ANYWHERE.

- SO ANNIE TELLS ME
YOU'RE BARREN.

OR, UH--
OR HAVING TROUBLE, ANYWAY.

- I DON'T THINK THAT'S ANY
OF YOUR CONCERN.

- I SEE THIS PROBLEM
A LOT.

IF YOU WANT, I COULD
GIVE YOU SOME REMEDIES

THAT ARE GUARANTEED TO WORK.

- I KNOW HOW IT'S DONE, MARY.

- I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ANYTHING WRONG WITH YOU.

- SO WHAT DO YOU THINK
IS THE PROBLEM?

- YOU'RE TOO HIGH-STRUNG.

FOLKS WORRY TOO MUCH
ABOUT WORK, FAMILY,

OR WHETHER OR NOT
THEY CAN HAVEA BABY.

THEN YEARS GO BY,
AND NOTHING HAPPENS.

THEN ONE DAY THEY DECIDE
TO STOP TRYING,

AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,
THEY FIND THEY'RE WITH CHILD.

- SO YOUR SAGE ADVICE FOR ME
IS TO RELAX?

- READ A BOOK
BEFORE YOU GO TO BED.

TAKE SOME DEEP BREATHS,
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,

I'LL BE BACK TO DELIVER
YOUR LITTLE ONE.

- I'LL MAKE SURE I TRY THAT.

[horse nickers]

- EVERY BABY BOY NEEDS
HIS OWN BLANKET.

DON'T YOU AGREE?

- YES, I DO.

- I'M GONNA HEAD TO THE SHOP
FOR A FEW HOURS.

I'LL BE BACK IN TIME
FOR SUPPER.

- DON'T YOU EVER TAKE
TIME OFF?

- NO. THE GOOD BOOK SAYS
THAT A MAN WHO DOESN'T WORK

DOESN'T DESERVE TO EAT.

I GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

- WE JUST THOUGHT
YOU'D HAVE MORE TIME OFF

ONCE YOU HIRED AN APPRENTICE.

- AND I DO.

NOW I'M ONLY TWO WEEKS BEHIND
INSTEAD OF SIX.

- LILLIAN, YOU LOOK LOVELY.
WHERE ARE YOU HEADED OFF TO?

- JOSHUA AND I ARE HAVING
A PICNIC.

- YOU ENJOY YOURSELF,
AND PLEASE TELL JOSHUA

THAT WE SAID HELLO.
- I WILL.

- YOU BE BACK IN TIME
FOR SUPPER, NOW, NO EXCEPTIONS.

- I WILL. I PROMISE.

BYE, EVERYONE.

- BYE, DEAR.

[horses nickering]

- "I LOVE IT.
THE SEA IS EVERYTHING.

"IT COVERS 7/10
OF THE TERRESTRIAL GLOBE.

"ITS BREATH IS PURE
AND HEALTHY.

"IT IS AN IMMENSE DESERT
WHERE MAN IS NEVER LONELY,

"FOR HE FEELS LIFE STIRRING
ON ALL SIDES.

"THE SEA IS
THE ONLY EMBODIMENT

"OF THE SUPERNATURAL
AND WONDERFUL EXISTENCE.

"IT IS NOTHING BUT LOVE
AND EMOTION.

IT IS THE LIVING INFINITE,
AS ONE OF YOUR POETS HAS SAID."

I'VE BEEN READING
FOR ALMOST TWO HOURS.

YOU MUST BE BORED.

- NO, I DON'T THINK
I CAN EVER GET BORED

LISTENING TO YOU TALK.

- YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT.

- NO, I'M NOT.
I SWEAR.

IT'S JUST, I'D LIKE
THIS CAPTAIN NEMO

IF HE WEREN'T HOLDING HIS
FRIENDS HOSTAGE ALL THE TIME.

- WELL, HE CAN'T LET THEM GO.

THEY MIGHT TELL THE WORLD
WHO HE IS.

20,000,000 LEAGUES
IS AN ALLEGORY.

IT'S ABOUT PERSONAL FREEDOM.

NEMO MEANS "NOBODY" IN LATIN.

HE'S INVISIBLE TO THE WORLD
AND WANTS TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.

- YOU'RE BRILLIANT.
YOU KNOW THAT?

- I AM NOT.

- LEE?
YOU WORKIN' TODAY?

YOU WORK HARDER
THAN ANY MAN I KNOW.

- WELL, I CAN'T LET
THE CUSTOMERS DOWN.

BESIDES, IT GIVES ME
THINKING TIME.

- ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE
TO SHARE WITH YOUR PASTOR?

- JUST A LOT OF RUMBLING AROUND
IN MY HEAD LIKE A MARBLE.

- SOMETIMES IT HELPS
TO SPEAK IT OUT LOUD.

TALKING TO YOURSELF ONLY GETS
THE ANSWER

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

- I JUST CAN'T FIGURE
LILLIAN OUT.

I'M TRYING TO BE
A GOOD FATHER TO HER, BUT...

- OUR CHILDREN GROW UP,
START SPREADING THEIR WINGS.

A FATHER HAS TO BE AWARE
OF THAT

AND TRY TO GROW WITH HIS CHILD.

- YEAH.

BELINDA TOLERATES
MORE THAN I DO.

- SHE'S A MOTHER.

THE GOOD LORD GAVE THEM
THE PATIENCE OF JOB

WHEN IT COMES TO RAISING
THEIR CHILDREN.

HE SHORTCHANGED FATHERS
IN THAT AREA.

- [chuckles] YEAH.
YEAH.

- I REALLY WISH
YOU WOULD GET SOME REST.

- I FEEL FINE.

LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE
MAY HAVE BEEN WRONG

ABOUT MY CONDITION.

- PERHAPS.

- SO HAVE THINGS IMPROVED
WITH LEE?

- HE SAYS HE ISN'T BOTHERED,

BUT I STILL SENSE
THAT HE'S DISAPPOINTED

WE CAN'T HAVE A BABY.

- WELL, MAYBE YOU'RE JUST BEING
OVERLY SENSITIVE

AND YOU THINKTHAT
HE'S DISAPPOINTED.

- MAYBE.

- YOU KNOW, I'M STARTING
TO THINK THAT MAYBE

SHE REGRETS MARRYING ME.

- NOW, LEE, THAT IS JUST
PLAIN NONSENSE.

SHE'S PROUD AS A PEACOCK
THAT SHE MARRIED YOU.

- MAYBE.

- HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO HER
ABOUT IT?

- IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY.

OF COURSE,
SHE SAYS I'M WRONG.

STILL, SHE SEEMS
KIND OF DISTANT LATELY.

- SHE'S GOT SOMETHING
ON HER MIND.

MOST WOMEN DO
WHEN THEY GET LIKE THAT.

- MMM.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE, UH...

TRYING TO HAVE A BABY.

SO FAR NO LUCK.

- YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH.

- SOMETIMES IT'S HARD,
REVEREND.

- TALK TO HER
ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS.

I BEST BE GETTING HOME.

MRS. DAVIS WILL GIVE ME
AN EARFUL

IF I'M LATE FOR SUPPER.

- YEAH, MYSELF INCLUDED.

- WELL, I SEE YOU DIDN'T NEED
MYHELP

PUTTING SUPPER ON THE TABLE.

- YOU WERE TAKING A NAP, MARY.

- WE JUST WANTED YOU
TO BE ABLE TO REST.

- I'LL REST ENOUGH
WHEN I'M DEAD.

GIVE ME THAT KNIFE
BEFORE YOU CUT YOURSELF!

[exasperated sigh]

- SO DO YOU MISS YOUR FAMILY?

- I DO.

MY PA'S A FARMER
BACK IN PENNSYLVANIA.

HE WANTED MORE FOR ME
THAN SPENDING MY ENTIRE LIFE

PLOWING FIELDS.

SO HE SAID IF I GOT GOOD ENOUGH,

MAYBE I CAN FIND SOME WORK
IN PHILADELPHIA.

- SOUNDS LIKE HE CARES
ABOUT YOU A LOT.

- YEAH, MY FAMILY'S
PRETTY CLOSE.

IT'S KINDA STRANGE, THOUGH.

YOU KNOW, BEING OUT HERE
ALL BY MYSELF.

I HAVE THREE SISTERS
AND TWO BROTHERS

AND NOT A MOMENT OF PEACE.

BACK AT THE BOARDING HOUSE,
I GOT NOTHING BUT QUIET.

- I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

I MOSTLY GREW UP
IN AN ORPHANAGE

UNTIL MA AND PA ADOPTED ME
WHEN I WAS TEN.

I'D SPENT SO LONG IN A ROOM
WITH OTHER KIDS,

I COULDN'T WAIT TO HAVE
A ROOM OF MY OWN.

NOW I MISS HAVING SOMEONE
TO TALK TO.

- YOU HAVE ME.

- I DO, DON'T I?

- SO TELL ME SOMETHING.

HOW'D YOU EVER FIND A PLACE
LIKE THIS, ANYWAY?

- I STUMBLED ACROSS IT BY
ACCIDENT WHILE RIDING ONE DAY.

IT'S SO FAR OFF
THE MAIN ROADS,

NO ONE REALLY COMES OUT HERE.

SO I BROUGHT SOME
OF MY OLD STUFF,

AND NOW IT'S WHERE I COME
TO BE ALONE.

- WELL, I CAN SEE WHY.

- CAPTAIN NEMO HAD A CAVE
NEAR THE OCEAN

WHERE HE WENT TO ESCAPE.

THIS REMINDS ME OF IT.

- THE TIMBER STILL SEEMS--
[wood creaking]

- I WOULDN'T DO THAT.
- WHOA!

- NOT AS SOUND AS
YOU MAY THINK.

- YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.

WELL, I THINK IT'S BEST
WE PACK UP.

- WELL, I'M HAPPY TO SEE
YOU AND MARY ARE GETTING ALONG.

- MMM.

YOU KNOW, HER FERTILITY ADVICE
TO ME WAS TO RELAX

AND READ A BOOK BEFORE BED.

- DID YOU TRY IT?
- OF COURSE NOT.

- SHE'S BEEN DOING THIS LONGER
THAN WE'VE BEEN ALIVE.

- I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU,
ANNIE WATSON.

YOU SPENT THREE YEARS
IN MEDICAL SCHOOL,

FIVE YEARS PRACTICING MEDICINE,

AND YOU'RE GONNA BELIEVE
THAT WOMAN'S FOLK MAGIC?

IT'S RUBBISH,
PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

- WE ASK PEOPLE TO BELIEVE
IN THINGS THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND,

AND THEY DO,

BECAUSE THEY HAVE TRUST
AND FAITH IN US,

JUST LIKE THEY HAVE FAITH
IN THE LORD.

- OKAY, IT IS NOT
THE SAME THING,

AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT MARY HERE.

- WHY DO YOU HAVE SUCH A HARD
TIME BELIEVING IN MARY'S WAYS?

- OKAY, MARY
IS A LOVELY WOMAN.

BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIT SHE'S
A LITTLE TOUCHED IN THE HEAD.

SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME ANY MORE
THAN I LIKE HER.

- REALLY?

THE OTHER DAY
AT THE GENERAL STORE,

MARY DEFENDED YOU
TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

- THE MAN
WITH THE ANEMIC WIFE.

THE ONE THAT YOU SAID WAS
SUCH A SUCCESS STORY.

MARY IS THE REASON THAT
HE BROUGHT HER BACK TO YOU.

- THAT'S WHY LLOYD MCQUEEN
BROUGHT HIS WIFE BACK TO ME?

- MARY UNLOADED ON HIM
LIKE A TORNADO.

SPOKE UP FOR YOU
AND JUST PLAIN MADE HIM COWER.

- COME ON. LET'S GO.

- THANK YOU.

- DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT TIME IT IS?

- HI, PA.

- YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HOME
FOR SUPPER.

- JOSHUA AND I WEREN'T
THAT HUNGRY,

SO WE DECIDED TO STAY OUT
A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.

- WELL, IT'S WELL PAST SUPPER.

THAT'S MORE THAN
A LITTLE WHILE.

- WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY?

- I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST
YOUR JUDGMENT,

BUT APPARENTLY I WAS WRONG.

- WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED
TO MEAN?

- IT MEANS YOU CAN'T SPEND
ANY MORE TIME

WITH JOSHUA COYLE
UNTIL I SAY SO.

YOU'LL GO TO SCHOOL,
HELP YOUR MOTHER AT THE CLINIC,

AND COME STRAIGHT HOME.
- FOR HOW LONG?

- AS LONG AS IT TAKES ME
TO TRUST YOU AGAIN.

- THAT'S COMPLETELY UNFAIR.

JOSHUA'S ONLY TWO YEARS OLDER
THAN I AM,

AND NO ONE TELLS HIM
WHAT TO DO.

- NO ONE SAID THE WORLD
WAS FAIR, YOUNG LADY.

LIL...

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

- HELLO, JOSHUA.

- GOOD AFTERNOON, MA'AM.

UH, MR. OWENS TOLD ME
HOW MUCH TROUBLE

I CAUSED THE OTHER NIGHT.

I JUST WANTED TO COME BY
AND SAY HOW SORRY I AM

FOR KEEPING LILLIAN OUT
SO LATE.

- YOU NEEDN'T PLACE THE BLAME
ALL ON YOURSELF.

SHE'S OLD ENOUGH
TO KNOW BETTER.

- WELL, I'M STILL SORRY.

- MA, I CAN'T FIND THE...

BANDAGES.

PA SAID I CAN'T SEE YOU
FOR A WHILE.

- PA SAID YOU COULDN'T
GO OUT WITH JOSHUA.

HE SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE TWO
OF YOU SEEING EACH OTHER.

- THANKS, MA.

- WELL, I HAVE WORK TO DO.

IT WAS NICE TO SEE YOU, JOSHUA.

THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM OPEN
AT THE DINNER TABLE FOR YOU.

- THANK YOU, MA'AM.

I'M SORRY TO GET YOU
IN TROUBLE.

- YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG,

AND NEITHER DID I.

I'M A GROWN WOMAN,
AND I DON'T NEED MY PA DECIDING

HOW LATE I CAN
AND CAN'T STAY OUT.

- HE'S JUST WORRIED
ABOUT YOU IS ALL.

- WELL, HE DOESN'T NEED TO BE.

- THERE'S NO NEED
TO BE CROSS, LILLIAN.

I MEAN, I'LL STILL BE HERE
WHEN YOU GET OFF PUNISHMENT.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

I WANTED TO RETURN THIS.

I FINISHED IT.
- ALREADY?

- I JUST GAVE IT TO YOU.

- WELL, ONCE I GOT STARTED,
IT WAS HARD TO QUIT.

I MEAN, THE SUN WAS ALREADY UP
WHEN I FINALLY CLOSED THE BOOK.

- SO YOU STAYED UP ALL NIGHT
JUST TO READ ABOUT CAPTAIN NEMO?

- WELL, I DON'T THINK
I WOULDA GOTTEN MUCH SLEEP

WITH OR WITHOUT HIM.

I'LL BE THINKING ABOUT YOU.

- ME TOO.

[chickens clucking]

- MARY?

- IN HERE, DEAR.

- ANNIE, SHOULD YOU BE UP?
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

- I'VE DECIDED
TO HEAD ON HOME.

I CAN SEE YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS.

- YOU'RE LEAVING?
BEFORE THE BABY COMES?

- OH, YOU'LL DO FINE.

AND BESIDES,
THE LAST THING YOU NEED

IS AN OLD GRANNY MIDWIFE
GUMMING UP THE WORKS.

- THIS DOESN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO

WITH THE DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN
YOU AND BELINDA, DOES IT?

- OH, NO, NO, NO.

TRUTH IS...

I'M FEELING HOMESICK.

I MISS SLEEPING
IN MY OWN BED.

AND MY PATIENTS BACK HOME
DON'T HAVE A SMART LADY DOCTOR

TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.

- IF YOU'VE MADE YOUR DECISION,
I CAN'T STOP YOU.

I WOULD REALLY LOVE
FOR YOU TO STAY, THOUGH.

I WANT MY FAMILY HERE
WHEN THE BABY COMES.

- BELINDA IS YOUR FAMILY,
SWEETHEART.

AND PETER WILL BE BACK
WITH YOU NEXT WEEK.

BESIDES, ALL OF YOU
WILL BE HOME BEFORE LONG,

AND SOMEBODY'S GOTTA
GET THE HOUSE READY.

- SO I'M GONNA GO HOME
TO CHECK ON ANNIE.

I SHOULDN'T BE LONG.

IF THERE'S AN EMERGENCY,
JUST SEND THEM MY WAY

OR COME RUNNING,
WHICH YOU'RE VERY GOOD AT.

- I WILL, MA, AND THANK YOU.
- FOR WHAT?

- FOR UNDERSTANDING
ABOUT ME AND JOSHUA.

- BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
I WAS YOUR AGE ONCE.

[bell clanging]

- I'M NOT GONNA KEEP HER
FROM THE CHURCH SOCIAL.

YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO GO WITH HER,

BUT YOU'LL SEE HER THERE.

- IN THE MEANTIME,
WE HAVE AN ORDER TO FINISH.

- WELL, ALL RIGHT.
I LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE.

- YOU'RE LEAVING?

- TIME FOR ME TO GO HOME.

- I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

- I'M GONNA SEE HER OFF
INTO TOWN.

- ANNIE, I JUST DON'T THINK
IT'S A GOOD IDEA

FOR YOU TO BE CARRYING LUGGAGE
AND WALKING INTO TOWN.

- IT WAS MY IDEA, BELINDA.

AND I'VE BEEN ALL OVER
THIS WHOLE TERRITORY

THROUGH MY ENTIRE PREGNANCY.

I THINK I CAN HANDLE
A SHORT WALK INTO TOWN.

- DOC OWENS!

- DANNY.

- LILLIAN TOLD ME YOU WAS HERE.
MA'S IN LABOR.

- OKAY, THERE'S A HORSE
AND BUGGY IN THE BARN.

HELP ME HOOK IT UP.
- YES, MA'AM.

- I TRUST YOU WON'T WALK
INTO TOWN WHILE I'M AWAY.

- ALL RIGHT, PEACH PIE,

YOU GET BACK IN THE HOUSE
AND STAY PUT.

BELINDA AND I HAVE A BABY
TO DELIVER.

- MRS. TRAVIS IS MY PATIENT.

- IF YOU FIND
YOU DON'T NEED ME,

YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO
JUST SHOVE ME OUT OF THE WAY.

BUT IF YOU DO, I'M THERE.

- FINE, BUT ONLY BECAUSE

I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO ARGUE WITH YOU.

- THANK YOU, YOUNG MAN.

MY BAG.

- IT'S NEVER TAKEN THIS LONG.

THE FIRST FEW HOURS
SEEMED NORMAL,

BUT THEN IT JUST STOPPED.

- WHAT STOPPED,
THE CONTRACTIONS?

- NO, DOC, THE BABY.

IT'S LIKE IT'S STUCK,
BUT I CAN'T SEE THE HEAD.

- I'LL SEE TO HER.
- YOUR MAMA'S GONNA BE FINE.

- [pained groans]

- IT'S A FETAL DYSTOCIA.
- A WHAT?

- THE BABY'S SHOULDER
IS STUCK.

- WHAT ARE YOU FIXIN'
TO DO WITH THAT?

- WE HAVE TO GET THE BABY OUT
BEFORE IT SUFFOCATES.

- WE START PULLIN',
WE COULD MAKE THINGS WORSE.

- WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

- WELL, IF YOU CAN'T GET
THE BABY OUT FROM THE INSIDE,

YOU TRY IT FROM THE OUTSIDE.

ALL RIGHT, HELP ME
WITH HER NOW.

THAT'S GOOD.
- WHAT ARE WE DOING?

- WE'RE GONNA FLATTEN OUT
HER HIP BONES.

- [pained cries]

- ALL RIGHT, MISS TRAVIS,
LAY DOWN FOR ME.

- NOW WE'RE GONNA SEE
WHO'S STUCK AND WHO'S NOT.

[Mrs. Travis crying out]

THERE.

[cries subsiding]

- IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

- PA?

PA?

HELLO, JOSHUA.

WHERE'S MY PA?
- HE'S ON DELIVERY.

AND THEN HEADED HOME.

- I'D SURE LIKE TO GO
TO THE ICE CREAM SOCIAL.

- I'D SURE LIKE TO ASK YOU
TO GO WITH ME.

- SO?

- YOUR PA SAID
I COULD SEE YOU THERE.

BUT I CAN'T ESCORT YOU.

SORRY.

- JOSHUA...

PA IS BEING SO UNREASONABLE!

- WE WERE LATE
COMING HOME, OKAY?

- DON'T TELL ME
YOU'RE ON HIS SIDE.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
IN AN HOUR OR SO?

WE GOT HOME JUST FINE.
HE JUST DOESN'T TRUST ME.

- YOUR PA HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING
WHETHER YOU WERE ALL RIGHT

WHEN YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT HOME
ON TIME.

- YOU SOUND JUST LIKE PA.

MA'S THE ONLY ONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS.

- LILLIAN, WAIT A SECOND.

[horse whinnies]

[horse whinnies]
- HYAH! HYAH!

HYAH!

[pained cries]

[baby crying]

- IT'S A BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY,
AND YOUR WIFE IS FINE.

- CAN I SEE THEM?
- SHORTLY.

- WELL, LOOKS LIKE
WE GOT OURSELVES A BABY BROTHER.

- ISN'T HE BEAUTIFUL?

- HE SURE IS.

[baby groaning]

- HE BETTER BE.

LEAVE IT TO A BOY
TO JAM UP THE WORKS.

UH, THAT'S NOT DOCTORS' WORK.

- DOESN'T MATTER WHO DOES IT,
JUST AS LONG AS IT GETS DONE.

I LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY

THAT THEY DIDN'T TEACH ME
IN MEDICAL SCHOOL.

[horse whinnies]

- ALL RIGHT, WHOA.

WHOA!

WHOA!

- YOU SEEN LILLIAN?
- NO. WHY?

- WELL, WE THOUGHT
SHE MIGHT BE WITH YOU.

SHE'S BEEN MISSING
ALL AFTERNOON.

- WE GOT IN AN ARGUMENT
AT THE SHOP OVER MR. OWENS,

AND SHE STORMED OFF.

SAID YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS HER.

- WE WERE HOPING SHE'D RUN OFF
TO FIND YOU.

- SHE RODE OFF ON THAT
CRAZY HORSE I BOUGHT FOR HER.

- IT'S ABOUT
TO GET DARK OUTSIDE.

IF SHE GETS STUCK
IN THE COUNTRYSIDE...

- I THINK I KNOW
WHERE SHE IS.

- [crying softly]

- COME ON.

- OH!

OH...
- ALL RIGHT.

- IT'S WORSE THIS TIME.
I FEEL LIKE I COULD FAINT.

- OKAY, OKAY,
LET'S GET HER INSIDE.

- IT LOOKS AS IF THE DOCTOR
WAS RIGHT ABOUT BED REST.

- EHH--AAH!

[loud rumbling]

AAH!

- HOW MUCH FURTHER?
- IT'S JUST UP AHEAD.

- HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

- I'M REALLY NOT
AS LIGHTHEADED AS BEFORE.

I'D LIKE TO JUST GO TO BED.

- LET'S GET YOU UPSTAIRS
TO A DARKENED ROOM.

DOCTOR'S ORDERS.

[horse whinnies]

[horse whinnies]

- WHOA.

- WAS IT LIKE THIS BEFORE?

- NO, SIR.

- LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS
A CAVE-IN.

SHE MIGHT BE HURT

- THIS IS ONE OF HER LAMPS.

- COME ON, LET'S GO.

LIL!

LIL?!

- IT'S RIGHT UP THERE.

- I SEE HER.

LIL?!

LIL...
GIMME A HAND WITH THIS.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

YOU GOT IT?
- YEAH.

LIL. LIL.

LIL...COME ON,
TALK TO ME, PUMPKIN.

- [faint groan]

[louder groan]

PA?

- YEAH.
I'M HERE, HONEY.

JUST TAKE IT EASY.
JUST STAY DOWN, ALL RIGHT?

WE'RE GONNA GET YOU
OUT OF HERE.

- OKAY.

- HOW'S LILLIAN?

- A FEW CUTS AND BRUISES,

BUT NOTHING
THAT WON'T HEAL NICELY.

SHE'S OUT FOR THE NIGHT.

LEE'S SITTING WITH HER
FOR A WHILE.

- GIVE HER A COUPLE DAYS.
SHE'LL BE RIGHT AS RAIN.

AT THAT AGE,
NOTHING KEEPS THEM DOWN.

- WELL, I THINK HER EGO
HAS SUFFERED MORE THAN HER BODY.

- AH.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

- CHILDREN ARE JUST
SO RESILIENT, AREN'T THEY?

TRUE MIRACLES.

- ARE YOU STILL FRETTING
ABOUT THE BABY MAKING?

- I DON'T THINK
I'LL BE MAKING BABIES

ANYTIME SOON, MARY.

- GIVE IT UP, IF YOU WANT.

BUT I'M TELLING YOU,
THE SHINE IN YOUR HAIR

IS NOT THE MARK
OF A BARREN WOMAN.

- YOU DON'T REALLY
BELIEVE THAT, DO YOU?

- DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT I BELIEVE.

ONLY MATTERS WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- MEDICINE ISN'T THE ONLY THING

THAT MAKES PEOPLE
FEEL BETTER.

IT'S BELIEVING
THAT THEY CANBE BETTER.

- I'M SORRY I DOUBTED YOU.
YOU DIDN'T DESERVE IT.

- THE LORD SAYS
WE ARE TO FORGIVE

IF WE EXPECT TO BE FORGIVEN.

MAKE ME SOME FRESH
BACON AND EGGS IN THE MORNING,

AND ALL IS FORGIVEN.

- THAT'S A PROMISE.

- LATE NIGHT TONIGHT.
EVERYONE'S WORN OUT.

LIL'S SLEEPING LIKE A PUP.

- YOU KNOW...

I THINK I MIGHT READ A BOOK
BEFORE BED TONIGHT.

- REALLY?
YOU NEVER READ IN BED.

- I THINK IT'LL DO ME GOOD.

HELP ME UNWIND AFTER
THE LONG DAY WE'VE ALL HAD.

- MMM.

DOC...

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT US
TRYING TO HAVE A BABY.

LIL'S CHANGED OUR LIVES
IN SO MANY WONDERFUL WAYS.

AND I'M SURE
THERE'S PLENTY OF CHILDREN

DOWN AT THE ORPHANAGE
WHO NEED A GOOD HOME.

- YOU MEAN YOU'LL STILL
BE HAPPY

EVEN IF WE CAN'T HAVE CHILDREN
OF OUR OWN?

- I'LL BE HAPPY
AS LONG AS I'M WITH YOU.

ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.
ALWAYS WILL BE.

- DO YOU THINK
MY HAIR'S SHINY?

- YEAH.

YEAH, LIKE THE SUNRISE.

- I DO LOVE YOU, MR. OWENS

- I LOVE YOU TOO.

- GOOD NIGHT.

- OH, ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE GONNA
READ YOUR BOOK NOW?

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL JUST GO TO SLEEP.

YOU SURE I CAN'T HELP YOU
READ IT OR...NO?

ALL RIGHT.

- SHOULDN'T YOU BE IN BED?

- MY BALL AND CHAIN
LET ME COME DOWNSTAIRS.

- SHE HAS HER MIND SET ON GOING
TO THE ICE CREAM SOCIAL.

- WHAT IF I FIND A SHADY,
COMFORTABLE PLACE

TO JUST SIT AND EAT ICE CREAM?

- YOU ARE NOT GOING
TO THE SOCIAL.

- I AM A DOCTOR.
I VOTE YES!

- WELL, THAT'S ONE VOTE
FOR DR. ANNIE

AND ONE VOTE FOR THE MIDWIFE.

- I GUESS YOU'VE GOT
THE TIEBREAKING VOTE, DOC.

- I'M SORRY, ANNIE, I'M GONNA
HAVE TO SIDE WITH THE MIDWIFE.

- BUT I LOVE ICE CREAM.

- THEN I'LL SEND YOU SOME.
- IT'S NOT THE SAME.

- HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE NOT
GONNA SNEAK OUT WHEN WE'RE GONE?

- DON'T GIVE IT
A SECOND THOUGHT, DOC.

THIS OLD BALL AND CHAIN
WILL BE SITTING RIGHT HERE

LIKE A PRISON WARDEN.

- YOU'RE BOTH AGAINST ME.

- THAT'S RIGHT.
READ YOUR BOOK AND POUT.

- [sighs]
DON'T YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

- EXCEPT FOR THIS.

- OH, NO ONE
WILL EVEN NOTICE THAT.

- EVEN JOSHUA?

- ESPECIALLY JOSHUA.

- THANKS FOR TELLING JOSHUA
HE CAN ESCORT ME

TO THE SOCIAL.

- YOU'RE STILL COMING
WITH YOUR MOTHER AND I, RIGHT?

- I TOLD HIM I WANTED
TO WALK IN WITH MY FAMILY

AND SEE HIM FROM AFAR.
- THAT'S VERY ROMANTIC.

- MUST BE
FROM ALL THE BOOKS I READ.

PA...

I'M SORRY FOR NOT
MAKING CURFEW THE OTHER NIGHT.

I KNOW YOU WERE
JUST WORRIED ABOUT ME.

- DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE GROWING UP SO FAST,

SOMETIMES I CAN'T KEEP UP
WITH YOU.

- THANKS, PA.

- COME HERE.

MMM.

[lighthearted melody]

♪

- AND THEN YOU STEP
LIKE THIS.

MR. OWENS, DR. OWENS,
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME LEMONADE?

- NO, THANK YOU.
- NO, THANK YOU, JOSHUA.

- HEY, PARTNER,
HOW'S YOUR ICE CREAM?

- DOC OWENS, CAN WE TALK?

- LLOYD, I BELIEVE YOU KNOW
MY HUSBAND LEE.

- LLOYD.

- I WANT TO THANK YOU.

MABEL'S AS DIFFERENT
AS NIGHT AND DAY,

AND IT'S ALL I CAN DO
TO KEEP UP WITH HER.

- WELL, YOU DO LOOK LIKE
A BRAND-NEW PERSON.

- I'VE HAD A LOT MORE ENERGY.

STILL NEED SOME EXTRA SLEEP
IN THE AFTERNOONS,

BUT GETTING STRONGER
EVERY DAY.

- WELL, THE BEST MEDICINE
IS NO GOOD

IF IT ISN'T DISPENSED OR
RECEIVED WITH A JOYFUL SPIRIT.

IT'S ALL TOO EASY
TO FORGET THAT.

- WELL, I, UH...

MOSTLY WANT TO APOLOGIZE
FOR BEING STUBBORN.

THANKS AGAIN, DOCTOR.

- IT WAS MY PLEASURE.

AND I SHOULD BE THE ONE
TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU, MABEL.

I HAD NO RIGHT
TO BE CROSS WITH YOU

WHEN YOU NEEDED MY HELP.

I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME.
- THERE'S NOTHING TO FORGIVE.

- THANK YOU.

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

- WELL, NOW.

THAT WAS A VERY NICE THING
YOU JUST DID.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME ICE CREAM?

- I'D LOVE SOME.

- [labored breathing]

[pained groans]

- WHOA.

[horses whinny]

- I GOT LEE'S TELEGRAM.
WHERE'S ANNIE?

- THE LORD BROUGHT YOU
AT THE RIGHT TIME.

EVERYONE'S IN TOWN
AT A SOCIAL.

I NEED BELINDA NOW!

- I WANT TO SEE ANNIE.

- GET BELINDA NOW!

- HEH! HYAH!

HANDSOME!

- HYAH! HYAH!

HYAH, GIT! HYAH!

- MARY.
- THANK GOD YOU'RE BACK.

SHE'S HAD A SEIZURE.
I'VE GOT HER IN BED.

- OH, PETE,

YOU'D BEST WAIT DOWN HERE.

THERE'S NOTHING
YOU CAN DO UP THERE.

DEAR LORD, PLEASE WATCH OVER
ANNIE AND HER BABY.

AMEN.
- AMEN.

THANK YOU, LEE.
- YOU'RE WELCOME.

COME ON, LET'S HAVE A SEAT.

- [erratic breathing,
pained groans]

PETER...

- HE'S WAITING DOWNSTAIRS.

- RIGHT.

- IT IS ECLAMPSIA.
- I'M AFRAID SO.

- PLEASE SAVE MY BABY.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

I'M GONNA CLOSE MY EYES NOW.

- WHAT DID SHE MEAN,
YOU KNOW WHAT HAS TO BE DONE?

- THAT BABY HAS TO COME OUT
IF WE'RE TO SAVE IT,

EVEN AT THE RISK
OF HER OWN LIFE.

- THAT BABY IS READY.

- SHE WAS TALKING
ABOUT A CESAREAN DELIVERY,

WHICH I COULD DO
AT THE CLINIC,

BUT UNDER VERY CRUDE CONDITIONS.

- HAVE YOU EVER DONE ONE?

- I DID ONE ONCE
AT A HOSPITAL IN BOSTON.

BUT I HAD THE PROPER EQUIPMENT
AND STAFF.

AND THERE
WASN'T ECLAMPSIA INVOLVED.

- IS THERE NO OTHER CHOICE?

- NOT IF SHE DOESN'T
GO INTO LABOR SOON.

- WELL, THEN...

WE'D BEST GET THAT LABOR GOING.

HERE, HERE.

- WHAT IS THAT?

- SCOTCH BROOM
WITH A LITTLE VANILLA

TO HELP IT GO DOWN.

WOMEN HAVE BEEN USING IT
FOR CENTURIES.

- SCOTCH BROOM IS A WEED?

- A WEED THE GOOD LORD MADE.

HIS WONDERS TO PERCEIVE.

- DOES IT WORK?
- SURE AS THE SUNRISE.

A LITTLE OF THIS,
AND WE'LL HAVE OUR BABY BOY

IN NO TIME.

- IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
I CAN DO?

- GLASS OF WATER.

[thunder booms]

- HER TEMPERATURE
IS SLIGHTLY RAISED.

BUT HER HEARTBEAT
AND HER BREATHING ARE NORMAL.

NO CONTRACTIONS YET.

- IT DOESN'T SEEM
TO BE WORKING.

IT'S NEVER TAKEN THIS LONG.

- LET'S JUST GIVE IT
A LITTLE MORE TIME.

- WE COULD LOSE ANNIE
ANDTHE BABY.

DO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING HERE
THAT YOU NEED

TO DO A CESAREAN DELIVERY?

- HOW 'BOUT TAKING A SPOONFUL
OF THAT FAITH

YOU'RE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT?

- I'M GONNA MAKE SOME TEA.
WOULD YOU LIKE A CUP?

- NO, THANK YOU.

- ANY NEWS?
- NOTHING YET.

I'M GOING TO HAVE A CUP
OF TEA.

- [pained cries]

- YOU'RE DOING FINE, ANNIE.
JUST KEEP BREATHING.

- [pained cries]

- CONTRACTIONS.
CLOSER TOGETHER.

- WE ARE GOING TO INTRODUCE
THIS BABY BOY

TO HIS NEW FAMILY!

- IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.

[Annie screaming]

KEEP BREATHING.
GOOD, GOOD.

[Annie crying out]

[baby crying]

[laughter]

- CONGRATULATIONS,
UNCLE PETE.

- SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.

- I'VE DELIVERED HUNDREDS
OF BABIES,

BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE
THIS...PERFECT.

AND I'M NOT JUST SAYING THAT
BECAUSE SHE'S MY GRANDDAUGHTER.

I THOUGHT SHE WAS A BOY.

SHE CARRIED LIKE A BOY.

WE LIVE AND LEARN,
DON'T WE, DOC?

- WE SURE DO.

- THANK YOU BOTH
FOR BEING HERE.

- THERE'S NO OTHER PLACE
WE'D RATHER BE.

[knock on door]
- IS IT OKAY IF I COME IN?

[baby fussing]

- COME MEET YOUR DAUGHTER,
PETER.

- CAN I HOLD HER?

- COME SIT.

[baby fussing]

[street chatter]

- I BROUGHT YOU A PRESENT.

- A PRESENT?

- THESE ARE A FEW
OF MY FAVORITES.

- WELL, WHEN I ASKED YOU
FOR A FEW BOOKS,

I THOUGHT YOU'D GIVE ME
ONE OR TWO.

- WELL, THE WAY YOU WENT
THROUGH 20,000,000 LEAGUES,

I FIGURED YOU COULD USE
A FEW MORE.

- OH, YOU THINK SO?
[Lillian laughs]

- I SHOULD PROBABLY
GET GOING.

- OKAY.
WILL I SEE YOU LATER?

- SURE AS THIS IS
ONE FINE DAY.

- JOSHUA, WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED
SWOONING OVER MY DAUGHTER,

I COULD USE A LITTLE HELP
IN HERE.

- I'M COMING.

- LORD, THANK YOU FOR
THE FAMILY THAT SURROUNDS US

AND THE LOVE WHICH ENVELOPS US.

MAY WE ALWAYS STRIVE TO WALK
THE WAY YOU LIKE

AND BE TRUE MISSIONARIES
OF YOUR WORD.

AMEN.

- HEY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

- I'M FINE.
JUST A LITTLE STUFFY INSIDE.

I'VE GOTTEN SO USED TO YOU
BEING AT THE HOUSE,

IT'S GONNA BE TOO QUIET
WHEN YOU'RE GONE.

- WELL, IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE
MY DARLING DAUGHTER WAS BORN.

I THINK IT'S TIME
WE GO HOME.

- I'M GONNA MISS YOU
SO VERY MUCH.

- ALL THE MORE REASON FOR YOU
TO COME VISIT US SOON.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING
OUT HERE?

- OH, I WAS JUST GETTING
SOME FRESH AIR,

TALKING TO ANNIE.

- YOU'RE GONNA MISS HER,
AREN'T YOU?

WELL, WE HAVE HER
FOR ONE MORE NIGHT.

LET'S ENJOY HER
WHILE WE CAN.

- THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LEE.

- AW, IT WAS MY PLEASURE, PETE.

- AND, BELINDA, WELL,
I CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH.

- WELL, I WISH I COULD TAKE
ALL THE CREDIT,

BUT I HAD SOME EXPERT HELP.

- THIS HAS BEEN THE HAPPIEST
TIME OF MY LIFE.

I'M SO GLAD THAT I GOT
TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU.

- ME TOO.

- ALL ABOARD, FOLKS.

WE'RE BURNING DAYLIGHT!

- I THINK IT'S ABOUT
THAT TIME.

- WILL YOU HOLD
BABY LINDA FOR ME?

- OF COURSE.

- BYE, YOU TWO.
- BYE.

- EASY NOW.

- ALL RIGHT,
TAKE HER EASY THERE.

[chuckles]

- WELL, MY FRIEND,
WE HAD OURSELVES AN ADVENTURE.

- HOW DO I THANK YOU, MARY?

- WELL, YOU COULD START
BY FINDING ME A HUSBAND.

- I LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU.

- AND I FROM YOU.

I MAY BRING 'EM INTO THE WORLD,

BUT YOU KEEP 'EM ALIVE
AND KICKING ONCE THEY'RE HERE.

NOW, IF YOU EVER NEED
A GOOD MIDWIFE,

YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME.

- OH...

- [laughing]

OH, YOUNG MAN,
I'M GONNA NEED A HAND HERE.

- ALL RIGHT.
HERE WE GO.

- WAIT A MINUTE.
ONE, TWO, THREE--OH...

- STEADY. STEADY.
STEADY.

- AHH.

WELL, COMMODORE,
ARE WE SAILING WITH THE TIDE?

I THOUGHT YOU SAID
WE WERE BURNING DAYLIGHT.

- YES, MA'AM.
HYAH! GET UP!

GIT!

[street chatter]

- WHAT WERE YOU AND MARY
WHISPERING TO EACH OTHER?

- I WAS JUST TELLING HER
I'D BE NEEDING A GOOD MIDWIFE.

- I'M A DOCTOR.

I KNOW A PREGNANT WOMAN
WHEN I SEE ONE,

ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM ONE.

HEY...
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BABY.

- A BABY?
[chuckles]

- WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BABY!

- LILLIAN OWENS, YOU ARE
LATE ENOUGH FOR SCHOOL AS IT IS.

PUT THOSE RUNNING LEGS
TO GOOD USE.

- YES, MA.

- JOSHUA COYLE, DON'T JUST
STAND THERE AND GAWK.

YOU'VE GOT A JOB TO DO.

- YES, MA'AM.

- I'VE GOT PATIENTS
TO ATTEND TO

AND BABY PLANS TO MAKE.

- UH, NOW WAIT UP.

WAIT UP A BIT.

HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU?

NOW, I'M SERIOUS.

WELL, WE GOTTA START
TALKING ABOUT NAMES.

I MEAN, I LIKE LEE
FOR A BOY.

- OH, YOU THINK
IT'S GONNA BE A BOY?

- OR, UH, YOU KNOW,
MAYBE DAPHNE FOR A GIRL.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- THAT'S VERY PRETTY.

- COME ON, YOU WANT
A LITTLE GIRL, DON'T YOU?

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

- ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON.
LET ME GET THE DOOR FOR YOU.
