Get those last two grain sacks on,
and get that wagon out of there.

How long before you
get these cars unloaded?

We've got 3 to 4 more hours,
Mr. Wilkins.

The men are working as
fast as they possibly can.

I got another supply
train due in this evening

with 15 flatcars
full of rail.

I want it spotted right here, so,
when you're done with this,

have Barney switch these
cars over to the north spur.

It's as good as done.

Untie those crates and get
them up on the loading dock.

We've got to have this
train out of here really quick.

I don't think I've ever seen
Springfield this busy before.

What do you suppose
is going on?

I don't know.
Come on.

Man: Move them barrels
and the crate over, too.

Excuse me. Today's
express shipment come in?

Well, not yet, they cut the express
car into the president's special today

instead of sending her
down by the regular train.

It should be
here anytime.

The president's
special...

Does that mean the
president of the United States?

No, of course not.

Mr. Spencer hollingsworth,

president of the Minneapolis
and western railroad.

He's coming down to personally inspect
the progress on the western extension.

Well, that should be it now.

Thank you.

Man: Come back,
wagon over there.

- Mr. Hollingsworth.
- Wilkins.

- Hollingsworth.
- Hobson, come with me.

Got a shipment
for hanson's mill?

Could be.
I'll check.

Oh, Jim!

Thank you.

Clerk: You from walnut grove?

That's right,
walnut grove.

Yeah, walnut grove, is it there?

Clerk: It's here.

Hollingsworth: You gentlemen
mentioned walnut grove?

Yes.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Spencer hollingsworth.

Hollingsworth: I'm the
president of this railroad.

- Isaiah Edwards.
- Almanzo Wilder.

You're probably very busy, but I wonder
if you could spare me a few moments.

I'd like to talk to you.

Well, we got this crate
here to load in our wagon.

- Now, Wilkins?
- Yes, sir?

Get some of the boys to load
this crate into Mr. Edwards' wagon.

Wilkins: Yes, sir.

I think we got time.

Well, why don't you join
me in my car for a drink?

Right this way,
gentlemen.

Would scotch be
all right?

Oh, actually,
we're not much into hard liquor.

I used to. It kind
of backfired on me.

Well, to tell the truth, I prefer a nice,
cool glass of lemonade myself

on a hot day
like this.

Yeah, me, too.

Yeah, that'd
be fine.

Why don't you make
yourselves at home?

I'll be
right back.

Thank you.

Boy, it sure would be
nice to have a lot of money.

Well, money won't
buy happiness,

but you can look for
it in fancier places.

Ha ha ha!

Hollingsworth:
Here we are, gentlemen.

Joe, why don't you
set it down here?

- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.

The reason I wanted to talk to you,
gentlemen,

is to ask for
your cooperation.

Sit down,
will you?

Hollingsworth: Now...

The Minneapolis and western
railroad's been given a charter

to build straight across
to the pacific ocean.

After a big deal
of deliberation,

we have selected walnut grove
to be the first division point

west of Minneapolis.

Now, that's going to be
very good for your town.

But it will require a few
sacrifices to make it work out.

We're surveying
the route right now,

and we'll need to obtain some
easements for our right of way.

We also want to build a roundhouse,
and a service facility,

for the locomotives,
and that will have to be a big parcel

right outside of town.

Now, we're prepared to
pay a fair price for everything.

Well, what can
we do to help?

Ah.

Now, I want you to talk to your friends,
to your neighbors.

You tell them what
I just told you.

Enlist their support
on our behalf.

I don't think that'll take
a whole lot of talking.

I'm sure the whole
town would like to help.

Well, I'm glad
to hear that.

It's all
loaded, sir.

Edwards:
Oh, thank you.

Gentlemen,
I'd like you to meet harlam Wilkins.

He's our superintendent
of construction.

And over there is Stuart Hobson,
he's our chief surveyor.

Pleased to
meet you.

- Same here.
- Howdy.

All right, gentlemen, I know you're busy,
I won't detain you any longer.

I just want to thank
you for your cooperation.

We do
appreciate it.

Well,
we're the ones who should be thanking you.

You're giving US
something we've all wanted

for a long time.

- It's been a pleasure.
- Likewise.

- Thank you.
- Good day, then.

Bye-bye.

They seem
reasonable enough.

We shouldn't have any
problems in walnut grove.

We won't.

Joseph!

Isn't it lovely?

Almanzo:
It looks real good.

After all,
the railroad deserves a proper welcome.

They're about to help US
emerge from the dark ages.

Dr. Baker: I agree. It's going
to be a great thing for this town.

Oh, particularly
for the merchants.

I wish I could be
as sure as all of you.

I'm just afraid it'll change
the town too much.

Change is exactly what
this town needs, my dear.

With a bit of luck,

the railroad might help US
bring some culture to this town.

Ah, yes, I can
see it now...

An opening of
an art museum.

Oh, come on, Harriet,
a big city might have an art museum...

Oh, well, now,
Mr. Edwards,

after all,
walnut grove is going to be

the largest railroad center
in all of Minnesota.

Harriet: So,
we will have an opening of an art museum...

And a theater.

Well, one thing's
for sure,

the town's sure
going to grow.

Almanzo: That's right,
we might even get

tree-lined
neighborhood streets.

Dr. Baker: And
dozens of businesses.

Give oleson's mercanteel
a little competition.

Oleson's mercantile
will be the largest

and the finest of
them all, Dr. Baker.

Don't you think
you're all getting

just a little bit
carried away?

Harriet: Possibly.

However, no one can deny
that this railroad is going to help

everyone concerned
with walnut grove, huh?

I hope so.

In the meantime,
we do need some things from the store.

Oh, certainly.
Come on, Laura.

And I got a patient to see.

Almanzo:
See you, doc.

Hey, almanzo,
you got a couple of minutes?

I'd like to talk to you
about something.

Well, sure.

You know, I've
been thinking.

You know, the railroad's going
to need a whole lot of lumber,

what with all the building
they're going to be doing,

and why can't we be the
ones that supply it to them?

There's no reason
I can think of.

Well, I mean,
it's going to mean more work.

Can you put in
the extra hours?

Don't worry,
I'll put in as many as it takes.

You know,
if this job gets big enough,

we might have to
hire some extra help.

Well, then,
we'll hire them.

All right, I'll get something
written down on paper tonight.

You know, old hatchet-face
Harriet might be right for once,

you know, everybody
is going to benefit.

Whoa, ho!

Land sakes...

It's a whole tent city right
on the outskirts of town.

Oh, it'll be 3 times this
size by the end of next week.

- Is that a fact?
- Yes, sir.

That's very
impressive.

I must say, though,
we weren't exactly expecting a saloon.

Let me tell you something,
reverend Alden.

We're working
3 shifts a day,

7 days a week,
24 hours a day,

and these men need a place to
blow off a little steam and relax.

And that's the place.

And you might even
call that a necessity.

I... I suppose I can understand that,
it's...

Just it's a little
unusual to have such...

Such an establishment nearby.

Hobson: I wouldn't be overly concerned,
reverend.

Once the line's in and
the structures are up,

that'll come down
practically overnight.

It'll be hard for you to
remember that it was ever here.

Yes, I'm... i'm
sure of that...

Wilkins: I'll need
another survey

on these two sections,
right there...

- And right there.
- All right.

Well,
I... I guess I'll be moving on.

Rev. Alden: It's
certainly exciting.

It was nice to see
you, reverend.

Wilkins: Uh, I think we can fill
in this gully here easy enough.

Right there.

Let's get started on
that right away, huh?

After the track
swings around the hill,

it'll cross the road
right there.

- Uh-huh.
- Now...

I want to put the depot
in this lot right here.

Good.

We put a cut through that hill,

we'll build the
roundhouse and the yard

in the large area
on the other side.

Excellent.

Laura: Listening to Harriet
oleson and doc baker,

it sounds like we're going
to become another Chicago.

Doc baker,
of all people.

Well, I don't think we're
going to get the art museum

or the hospital they're
talking about right away,

but it looks like we're going
to get a piece of the pie.

Isaiah and I are going after a
lumber contract with the railroad.

If we get it,
it'll mean a lot more money.

Well,
at least there's one ray of sunshine.

It really has you
worried, doesn't it?

I just don't want to see
anything happen to walnut grove.

I don't think you have
to worry about that much.

Laura: Oh, I wouldn't
be so sure.

I mean, the railroad nearly
destroyed the town a few years ago

with that embargo.

Laura: It was 20 miles
away when it did that.

What's it going to do
right in our midst?

Almanzo:
Afternoon, gentlemen.

Hobson: Afternoon.

Now, how'd it go with the
easements to the east side of town?

They were very
cooperative.

Haven't talked to
John Carter yet.

Don't expect he'll be
any too happy to find out

the track's going to go
straight through his barnyard.

There's no way to avoid it,
I really tried.

Who have we got on
the other side of town?

Well, the large area belongs to him,
almanzo Wilder.

We met him and his friend
back in Springfield, remember?

Oh, yeah.

Well, he seemed genuinely
concerned in wanting to help,

but... his house is on
part of the area we need.

Do we have any
alternatives?

There's nothing anywhere
near town that's as suitable.

All right,
I'll take care of Mr. Wilder, too.

Oh, Willie,
you'll be late!

Willie: Coming.

I don't know why it is your sister
can always get to school on time.

Sorry, ma.

Look at you!

Why is it you're
always so sloppy?

I'm not so sloppy!

Well, you could have fooled
me. Tuck in your shirttail.

Don't you know that the children
of walnut grove's leading citizens

have to look
distinguished?

- Aw, ma...
- "Aw, ma!" Go on!

Whoa,
Willie!

Willie:
Sorry, reverend.

Harriet:
Oh, for heaven's sakes!

Good morning,
Harriet.

Good morning, oh!

Reverend Alden,
are you all right?

I'm fine.

How's business?

Oh, it's just
wonderful.

You know,
that railroad's the best thing

that ever happened
to walnut grove.

Don't you agree?

I'm hoping
so, Harriet.

Well, I'm sorry,
I can't give you more time.

I'll let you know our decision.

Decision? There is no decision,
Mr. Carter.

Now, the work crew's going to be tearing
these buildings down a week from today.

I said I'd
let you know.

Ya!

Well,
this takes care of the McAllister order.

Now we can get our minds
on that railroad contract.

You got those
figures with you?

Yeah, right here
in my pocket.

Well,
I don't think we'll have to go to them.

They're coming to US.

Well, well, well,
happy to see you, Mr. Wilkins.

Is that a fact?

Yes, sir,
it sure is.

Now,
we figured on paying you a visit,

but I reckon you got the same
thing on your mind we got on ours.

Oh, what might
that be?

Isaiah: Lumber.

Ain't it come
to your notice

we got the only
mill here in town?

I noticed.

Isaiah: Well, with all the
building you're going to have to do,

you won't get a fairer price.
- That's right.

The way I got it figured here,
you give US maybe 2,

3 weeks to stockpile...
here's what we can do for you.

Sorry, it's out
of the question.

Why? We can give
you a bargain.

The lumber contract's
all taken care of.

One of the company's
subsidiaries.

Oh.

Wilkins: Matter of fact,
I came on a different matter

that concerns you, Mr. Wilder.

What's that?

I'll get straight
to the point.

The railroad needs your
farm for the walnut grove yard.

The whole farm?

The whole farm.

Wilkins: Now, I've
prepared a bill of sale.

You sign it, company will
forward you a check for $1,200...

I'm sure you'll agree,
that's a fair price.

Edwards:
Fair to who?

With the price of
land going sky-high,

you'd need twice that much to
buy half of what he's already got.

I don't think I can
make a better offer.

Well, I'm not going to ask you to,
I don't want to sell.

When the united states
congress granted our charter,

they gave US the right to
buy up any land we need.

I'm afraid you don't have
a choice in the matter.

Wilkins: If you've any doubts about that,
consult a lawyer.

Oh, I will, Mr. Wilkins,
and you can just count on that.

I can give you a little more
time than the others to move out.

Wilkins: Say, two,
two and a half weeks?

Others?

What others?

Webster,
McAllister...

Evans, Carter.

John Carter?

That's right.
He only has a week.

6 of his men are supposed
to be fully deputized.

Wilkins seems to think he can
just come in here and run US all out.

What are you
going to do?

Laura and me, we're going to
sleepy eye to see a lawyer tomorrow.

We'd like you
both to come along.

No. I'm sure you'll find out
what we all need to know.

What if we find out the
law's all on their side?

Then it's a law
to be ashamed of.

Property
is property.

What we own is what
we work and sweat for.

What we own is
a part of US.

If our government
doesn't respect that,

then I don't know where
our country's heading.

I don't know either, John.
I sure don't know.

John: One way or
another, I'm staying...

Because I've got
a promise to keep.

Remember?

When we first
moved here.

You asked me to promise that we'd
never have to move anywhere else.

I remember, John.

Oh... it's so
frightening.

Well, I wish I could tell
you something encouraging,

but I'm afraid there's
nothing much you can do.

You see, the United States government
reserves the right of eminent domain.

Now, in essence,
that means they can take private property

for any use they think will
benefit the public as a whole.

Atty. Webb: Now, congress feels that
opening the pacific northwest for settlers

is in the best interests
of the country,

and the Minneapolis
and western railroad

is the quickest way
to accomplish it.

Therefore, they're doing everything
they can to get it built quickly.

You're telling US
the government

not only condones what
the railroad's doing,

they're actually
responsible?

Atty. Webb:
That about sums it up.

And there's nothing we
can do to save our farm?

Well, you could maybe go
into court and try to fight it,

but I think it would cost
you every cent you've got,

and I would be
willing to bet

that the court would rule
in favor of the railroad.

The truth of the matter is,
they as much as own the country,

generally get
anything they want.

It isn't fair.

Atty. Webb: No,
it's not, Mrs. Wilder.

But there's nothing you
and I can do about it.

And I'm afraid my best advice
is take whatever you can get.

Maybe you can argue them
into paying you more, maybe not.

In any case, it's the
only choice you've got.

Well, what do
I owe you?

Oh, nothing.

I'm afraid I haven't
been much help to you.

Thank you,
Mr. Webb.

Good luck.

Their backs are against the wall,
I'm afraid.

Well, what choice
have they got?

They certainly can't stand
in the way of progress.

Well? They can't!

Railroad's a wonderful
thing for walnut grove,

but it just doesn't seem
right that some people

should have to be hurt so
the rest of US can benefit.

Oh, well, hello, Mr. Hobson,
nice to see you again.

Hobson:
Mrs. Oleson.

What can I do
for you today?

Hobson: I have a list
of supplies we need.

Could you have them
delivered to the surveyor's tent?

I certainly will.

I'd best be going.

- See you later, reverend.
- Yes, indeed.

Hobson: Reverend?

Reverend...

I'd just like you to
know how sorry I am

about what's
happened.

I really wish we could
have avoided those farms.

Well,
I suppose you were just doing your job.

Yeah, my job.

You know, I thought
building a railroad

clear across the country
would be a great adventure.

It was as long as we
were on government lands.

Then we hit the farms and the homesteads,
and...

Now it seems like
every decision I make

is shattering
someone's life.

Who knows how many
more are to come?

A trail of people from
here to the pacific.

You're not like
the others.

What are you doing
tied in with them?

I started working for
Spencer hollingsworth

surveying small mining
railroads in Colorado,

and when he decided to
build the transcontinental,

he asked me if I
wanted to survey it.

I thought it would
be my big chance

to do something really
important with my life.

It isn't what I
expected, though.

I guess big-time
railroad construction

requires someone
a little more...

Callous.

Like Mr. Wilkins?

Yeah.

See, reverend,
he and the others

are so wrapped up in
their empire building,

they've forgotten they're
dealing with people.

Hobson: For them, the farmers
around here are just an obstacle,

like a tree or mountain,
something to be pushed out of the way,

and they do push.

The saddest part
about all of this

is nobody's going
to do anything,

because everyone's afraid
to stand up to the railroad.

Would it do
any good?

Hobson: No. Probably
get somebody killed.

And I'd have to
live with that.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be
burdening you with my problems.

Rev. Alden: My friends tell
me I'm a good listener.

As pastor of the church,
it's a valuable trait.

Well, they are lucky to
have you as a friend.

Consider yourself
one of them.

Thank you, reverend,
I'd like that.

I still can't believe this is
happening in this country.

You work and save for a piece
of land that you can call your own,

and some stranger
comes along,

and says, "get out,
here's some money.

Take it
or leave it."

I know, I know.

Beth, if they offered me 10 times as
much money, I wouldn't want to sell.

I mean, this land...

It's part of US now.

You know what I'm saying?

Of course I do.

Beth, I'm not
going to sell,

I'm not going to let
them take the land away.

It might be a good idea...

If you and the baby spent
some time in town for a while.

Why?

Well, sweetheart, I don't know
how rough the railroad's going to get.

I'm not leaving.

Beth...

Laura: This is our land,

and we fight
for it together.

I'm a lot tougher than
you think, Mr. Wilder.

I know you are,
Mrs. Wilder.

Then we stay together?

We stay together.

Now, Mrs. Oleson,
I can't handle it.

You've just got to come
over here and help me.

Man: Hey, back there,
how about taking my order?

Man 2: How about
bringing mine?

Well, all right,
but you hurry up,

after all,
these men can't get enough home cooking.

Who are you
saving this for?

Big Arnie.

Well, he ain't here.
I'm going to take it.

I wouldn't advise that.

You aiming to stop me?

Nope, just
wouldn't advise it.

Willie: Why'd
I have to come?

Harriet: You heard what hester-sue
told me. She's short-handed.

This is our business,
so we both have to pitch in.

This isn't fair.

Oh, fair's
fair's fair.

Willie:
The stagecoach's coming.

Harriet: Ah, bringing
more business, I hope.

Morning,
Mrs. Oleson.

Oh, morning,
Hank.

- They're so beautiful!
- Shh!

Don't you wish Nancy could
grow up looking like them?

Shh, for shame!
Go on, go on!

The saloon's down at the other
end of the town, there, ladies.

Thought I told you
to save me a spot.

I did.

Man: This here fellow
had other ideas.

This a good place
to stay?

Harriet: Oh,
yes, indeed.

It's walnut grove's finest.

Mrs. Oleson
here owns it.

She'll take real
good care of you.

Harriet: Yes,
would you like...

And stay out.

Is there, um... Any other
accommodations here in town?

Well, there's a rooming
house right above doc baker's.

- Not very...
- I think that'll be just fine.

Harriet: Oh, don't
look at me like that!

Oh, my restaurant!
What on earth...

Hank: Giddyup.

Look at this!

Oh,
look at my window! Who did this?

Nels!

Afternoon,
gentlemen.

Nothing good about it
where he's concerned.

Still waiting on that signed bill of sale,
Mr. Wilder.

You can just
go on waiting.

You won't get John Carter's,
and you won't get mine.

Is that so?

As a matter of fact,
we've been talking to some of the other men

you're thinking of doing
out of their property.

And they're thinking
of joining US.

Let me tell you something,
Mr. Wilder...

No leaning on
my friend, friend.

You said your piece.

Why don't you just
be on your way?

Well,
you have some time to reconsider.

I know you'll do
the right thing.

That looks nice.

Thanks.

You almost done? Got
a pot of coffee on.

Any gingerbread left?

Mm-hmm.

Then I'm done.

Look.

John: Get my gun.

You children
stay inside!

This is private
property, Wilkins.

You're
trespassing.

Ah, you and your friends
are trying my Patience, Carter.

Now, I want that bill of sale,
and I want it right now.

Get it.

Get it.

Well, well, could it be that somebody's
finally decided to be reasonable?

You got it.

You're making a big
mistake, mister.

Come on.

John.

It's all right.

Let's go inside.

- Mr. Hollingsworth, welcome.
- Wilkins.

Nice to see you.

Mr. Hollingsworth!

Ah, Hobson, how
are you doing?

Fine, how are things
at Springfield?

All progressing
right on schedule.

Hollingsworth: Supplies have all arrived,
hiring more men.

We should start
construction within a week.

You know,
I really wish we could route through Tracy.

Hobson: There's a much better
grade along the cottonwood river,

and besides the
folks are all for it.

What's bothering
you, Hobson?

Nothing,
I'm just concerned about the farmers.

I'm concerned about them, too,
especially the ones that are holding out.

They've been giving US some problems,
but nothing to worry about.

When we start laying track,
we can't afford to stop for anything.

Now, I trust you'll do whatever
is necessary to clear them out.

Whatever's
necessary.

Wilkins:
You can count on it.

Oh, Wilkins,
come over here for a minute, will you?

What is it?

Sounds like
the barn door.

I must not have
latched it tight.

I'll be right back.

John: Easy, boy,
easy, boy, easy, boy.

Easy, boy, easy.

John?

John?

John, are you in here?

John!

John.

Mr. Hobson,
come in.

I just heard.
How is he?

Well,
they beat him up pretty badly.

But Dr. Baker thinks
he'll be all right.

He was lucky no
bones were broken.

Ahh, that's
a blessing.

I was afraid something like
this was going to happen.

Some of Wilkins' deputized
hooligans just rode out

to take possession
of the property.

Hobson: They plan to occupy it till the
construction crew can lay track across.

Can they do that?

They seem to be able to do
almost anything they please.

Hobson: See, they
feel they have to.

The Carter property is the
key to this entire thing.

Without it,
the railroad can't reach town.

- Is that a fact?
- Sure.

They'd have no choice but to
run the main line through Tracy.

How difficult
would that be?

Well, I'd have
to do a survey,

but I can't see that it
would be that difficult.

Hobson: Besides, the people
at Tracy really want the railroad.

Well, well, well.

Do you have something on your mind,
almanzo?

Yeah,
a way to persuade those people

to go through Tracy and
leave walnut grove alone.

Almanzo: How much would a nice,
long delay cost them?

How do you mean?

I mean if they can't get
on the Carter property

for a week or more.

Oh, one day would
cost them a fortune.

They've got an entire army of
workers coming in here tomorrow.

How long would it take you
to do the survey on Tracy?

Almanzo:
All the facts and figures.

A couple days,
at least.

Almanzo: Well,
that's it, then.

We take back that property
and hold it at least that long.

Do you really
think you can do it?

It's going to be
my pleasure to try.

All right, Fitzgerald and I are
going to do a route feasibility study

from sleepy eye to this
point on the cottonwood river.

Now, I want you and Whitney to do a
study from here all the way into Tracy.

I need to know where the
trestles' cuts and fills are required,

I need to know the estimated
construction cost per mile,

and, Lester,
I need it in a hurry. Can you do it?

You know I can.

All right.

Whoa!

Howdy!

Man:
Something you want?

No,
I got something you want... fried chicken.

Mr. Wilkins thought you
might like some victuals.

Darn right
we would.

Good.

Well, thank
Wilkins for US.

You bet.

Dig in.

Edwards: All right, mister,

you don't want that
chicken to be your last meal,

you leave that rifle
set where it's at.

You're responsible
for this, Wilkins.

I told you I couldn't
afford any delay.

There won't be any.

You give me the word,
I'll take my men in there.

I don't want
any killings.

Can't have your cake
and eat it, too.

Maybe I can.

I want you to spread
the word in walnut grove...

That I'd like to speak to the wives of
the men that are holding the Carter place.

Hollingsworth:
It's 3:00 now.

4:00 this afternoon
at the church.

What for?

Just do it!

Hollingsworth: I figure the
only way to avoid trouble

is to bring my case
to you ladies.

I've already told you
that one way or the other,

the railroad's going
to be built on schedule.

But I feel if you can go out
there and talk to your husbands,

you could make them
see the light.

Hollingsworth:
Any questions?

How long
do we have?

You have until 8:00
tomorrow morning.

Hollingsworth: I'm going to count on you,
little ladies.

Mr. Wilkins...

Wilkins: Ladies.

What are we
going to do?

There's only one
thing we can do.

15 more minutes.

You should've just let me
take the boys in there yesterday.

We could have
been working by now.

Ah, you were
saying, Wilkins?

Huh.

Almanzo: What are
you women doing here?

Laura: You'll see.

What do you think
they're doing?

Laura:
Mr. Hollingsworth!

It's not just our husbands
who own this land!

We own it, too!

We've sweated over it
every bit as hard as they have,

and we're not giving it up
to you or anybody else!

Laura:
So, if you want it...

You're going to
have to take it!

Well?

Just shut up
a minute.

Mr. Hollingsworth,
you can't afford to fight women.

- The publicity...
- Don't you think I know that?

There's another way.

How?

Hobson: Lester and I did a
preliminary study routing through Tracy.

There's no significant difference
in cost between the two.

We have money invested in walnut grove,
I'm not going to lose it.

A long delay would
cost a lot more.

Huh.

All right.

Start changing the base of
operation to Tracy, Wilkins.

All right.

If they went to get more men,
it won't do them any good.

They're routing through Tracy,
you won!

I'd like to settle our account.

Yes,
of course.

Your file is at the
mercantile. Get out of my way!

He's mine.

Wilkins!

What do you
want, Carter?

Just didn't want
you to leave

without me getting a
chance to say good-bye.

John:
Your turn, Wilkins.

Come on.

I wouldn't bother dirtying my hands,
farmer.

John: That's right,
I'm a farmer.

All of US here are just small
potatoes to people like you,

but we beat you,
didn't we?

John: We beat you and the
railroad and all your empire builders.

Folks like US are
always going to beat you,

because we love this
country and this land.

And we're not going to
let anybody destroy it.

Good-bye, Mr. Wilkins.

Laura: The railroad changed their route,
and Tracy became a boomtown,

filled with gamblers,
drifters, and the like.

Walnut grove remained
the same... a quiet country town

with people who cared about
each other and loved the land.
