1
00:01:20,448 --> 00:01:22,250
In every town
or village,
2
00:01:22,316 --> 00:01:24,652
there used to be
the hidden people
3
00:01:24,718 --> 00:01:26,987
those who for one
reason or another
4
00:01:27,054 --> 00:01:28,389
are shut
away from life...
5
00:01:28,456 --> 00:01:30,724
or who for some
strange reason
6
00:01:30,791 --> 00:01:33,261
shut themselves away
from the world.
7
00:01:33,327 --> 00:01:36,130
My quest for a car
in which to drive
8
00:01:36,197 --> 00:01:37,465
back and forth
to college...
9
00:01:37,531 --> 00:01:39,433
was eventually
to lead me
10
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:46,507
to two of those
hidden people.
11
00:01:46,574 --> 00:01:48,542
Well, Daddy, she's not exactly
in mint condition...
12
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:51,812
but between you and me, we
could probably fix her up good.
13
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:54,315
She needs a new paint job,
some work on the upholstery.
14
00:01:54,382 --> 00:01:55,883
How much is Buck asking?
15
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:59,387
I didn't talk money with him.
I wanted to speak to you first.
16
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:01,222
Alright. Take
this one over there,
17
00:02:01,289 --> 00:02:03,691
we'll chop it up
for firewood later.
18
00:02:03,757 --> 00:02:05,859
Fix up this fence then
we'll go see about it.
19
00:02:05,926 --> 00:02:09,763
Alright.
20
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:14,101
-John-Boy, can a chicken talk?
-I never heard one talk.
21
00:02:14,168 --> 00:02:16,304
I heard that old
Rhode Island Red hen
22
00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:18,339
talk before when
she was laying an egg.
23
00:02:18,406 --> 00:02:21,775
-What did she say?
-Ouch.
24
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:32,953
Good thing I knew
the storm was coming
25
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:35,055
so I could cover
up the buzz saw.
26
00:02:35,122 --> 00:02:37,225
How'd you know it was coming,
you feel it in your bones?
27
00:02:37,291 --> 00:02:42,430
I heard it on the radio first,
then I felt it in my bones.
28
00:02:42,496 --> 00:02:43,664
I thought you're going to Buck's
29
00:02:43,731 --> 00:02:45,733
to get yourself
a new tin lizzie.
30
00:02:45,799 --> 00:02:48,302
Daddy wants us to clean up
this storm damage first.
31
00:02:48,369 --> 00:02:50,404
I'll clean it up
and cut it for firewood
32
00:02:50,471 --> 00:02:52,139
with the help of the young'uns.
33
00:02:52,206 --> 00:02:54,442
-You run along.
-You reckon?
34
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:58,812
Daddy, Grandpa says
he can do the work!
35
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:02,483
Jim-Bob, ah, Jason.
36
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,556
Calm down.
37
00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:11,625
I just wish we'd left earlier.
Might even be gone by now.
38
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:14,495
Only 8:30 in the morning. It was
there last night, wasn't it?
39
00:03:14,562 --> 00:03:15,796
Sure it was, but anything
40
00:03:15,863 --> 00:03:17,698
could've happened
since I saw it last.
41
00:03:17,765 --> 00:03:21,235
I doubt if Buck Higgins is going
to have to fight off buyers.
42
00:03:21,302 --> 00:03:25,839
Just isn't that
much money around.
43
00:03:25,906 --> 00:03:29,243
Couldn't we go
just a little faster?
44
00:03:29,310 --> 00:03:31,312
We could, except
I don't want to burn
45
00:03:31,379 --> 00:03:32,980
out the motor this morning.
46
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,424
Mr. Higgins!
47
00:03:43,491 --> 00:03:45,326
-Morning.
-Howdy.
48
00:03:45,393 --> 00:03:47,895
Howdy. How you doing, Buck?
49
00:03:47,961 --> 00:03:51,532
Can't complain, John.
50
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:55,536
Get three squares a day and how
many of us can make that claim?
51
00:03:55,603 --> 00:03:58,839
-Storm do much damage out here?
-Didn't she blow?
52
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:01,375
I thought it was gonna
pick up the house
53
00:04:01,442 --> 00:04:02,943
and land in Bascomb's Hollow.
54
00:04:03,010 --> 00:04:05,279
Mr. Higgins, you still got her?
55
00:04:05,346 --> 00:04:08,382
Sitting right where you left
her. Key is in the ignition.
56
00:04:08,449 --> 00:04:13,253
Great. Thank you.
57
00:04:13,321 --> 00:04:16,089
-How's your daddy, John?
-He's holding on.
58
00:04:16,156 --> 00:04:18,426
How's everybody out here?
59
00:04:18,492 --> 00:04:21,495
My little one's been down
with the whooping cough.
60
00:04:21,562 --> 00:04:26,967
If it isn't one
thing, it's another.
61
00:04:27,034 --> 00:04:29,069
What can I do for you, John?
62
00:04:29,136 --> 00:04:33,507
My boy's got his heart set
on that old Ford of yours.
63
00:04:33,574 --> 00:04:36,777
You already got the truck.
What do you need a car for, too?
64
00:04:36,844 --> 00:04:38,846
Bus schedule to
Westham's been changed.
65
00:04:38,912 --> 00:04:41,682
He was telling me about going
down there to that college.
66
00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:44,251
If he's up by the crack
of dawn, he can make it.
67
00:04:44,318 --> 00:04:46,354
Thing is, the last bus
back leaves about noon.
68
00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:48,656
He's not out of classes yet.
69
00:04:48,722 --> 00:04:51,692
Why don't you give him your
truck, John, and retire?
70
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:53,927
I might just do that, Buck.
71
00:04:59,533 --> 00:05:01,969
Yeah, $35 and she's all yours.
72
00:05:02,035 --> 00:05:05,072
That's a reasonable price.
73
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:08,976
That much money will get you
a whole year of cut lumber.
74
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:11,779
Lumber? How did we get
on the subject of lumber, John?
75
00:05:11,845 --> 00:05:13,313
I thought we'd make a bargain.
76
00:05:13,381 --> 00:05:15,315
Let my boy have that car and
77
00:05:15,383 --> 00:05:19,019
I'll supply you with
all the lumber you need.
78
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:23,023
Afraid I can't do that.
79
00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:25,426
Sounds like a fair deal to me.
80
00:05:25,493 --> 00:05:28,095
Me, too. Some other time
I'd probably jump at it.
81
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:30,664
But the only reason
I'm trying to sell the car
82
00:05:30,731 --> 00:05:33,066
at all is I'm hard
up for the cash.
83
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:44,578
All I need now is
a raccoon's tail.
84
00:05:44,645 --> 00:05:48,215
John-Boy, I declare now that...
85
00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:50,050
I'm real sorry.
86
00:05:50,117 --> 00:05:51,652
We get here too late?
87
00:05:51,719 --> 00:05:53,253
It's not that, son.
88
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,690
It's that Buck here needs
money. We just don't have it.
89
00:05:56,757 --> 00:06:01,228
If times weren't so hard....
90
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:07,134
Sure, I understand.
91
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,572
-You can leave her there.
-Thanks, anyway.
92
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:13,240
Thanks, Buck.
93
00:06:13,306 --> 00:06:15,876
Don't mention it, John.
94
00:06:23,517 --> 00:06:25,052
Don't worry, son.
95
00:06:25,118 --> 00:06:28,622
You'll get there whether I have
to drive you coming and going.
96
00:06:32,493 --> 00:06:34,762
I need some gas.
97
00:06:44,137 --> 00:06:46,139
Hey, John-Boy. Hi, John.
98
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:47,608
Fill her up, Ike.
99
00:06:47,675 --> 00:06:49,376
Boy, your ears must be burning.
100
00:06:49,443 --> 00:06:51,111
I was thinking
about you this minute.
101
00:06:51,178 --> 00:06:53,647
-You still looking for a car?
-Hopeless.
102
00:06:53,714 --> 00:06:56,850
Why don't you let Ike Godsey
take care of all your problems?
103
00:06:56,917 --> 00:06:59,419
I think I found just
the right flivver for you.
104
00:06:59,487 --> 00:07:00,788
The problem isn't finding a car.
105
00:07:00,854 --> 00:07:03,223
It's someone willing
to barter for it.
106
00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:05,192
Everybody seems to need cash.
107
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:06,594
You know Hyder Rudge?
108
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:08,896
I know where he lives,
but that's about all.
109
00:07:08,962 --> 00:07:11,765
He never gets off his place.
Why does he need a car?
110
00:07:11,832 --> 00:07:13,801
But he's got one.
He and his wife
111
00:07:13,867 --> 00:07:15,335
had one when they drove here.
112
00:07:15,402 --> 00:07:18,672
What he doesn't have is a roof.
He lost it in the storm.
113
00:07:18,739 --> 00:07:20,674
I thought I was gonna lose mine.
114
00:07:20,741 --> 00:07:23,043
I was up half the night
with the rafters shaking.
115
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:24,845
-What about the car?
-Yeah, the car.
116
00:07:24,912 --> 00:07:27,147
When I drove by
the Rudge place this morning...
117
00:07:27,214 --> 00:07:30,918
I noticed that about half of his
roof was laying out in the yard.
118
00:07:30,984 --> 00:07:33,787
I thought I'd go in and
check on him and the missus.
119
00:07:33,854 --> 00:07:35,255
He wouldn't let me in
120
00:07:35,322 --> 00:07:38,025
but he told me that he
couldn't fix it himself...
121
00:07:38,091 --> 00:07:40,661
and he asked me
if I knew anybody who could.
122
00:07:40,728 --> 00:07:42,630
You know how much
he'd be willing to pay for it?
123
00:07:42,696 --> 00:07:44,798
I don't know. Not much.
124
00:07:44,865 --> 00:07:48,101
But I figured he hasn't driven
that car since he's been here...
125
00:07:48,168 --> 00:07:50,437
and he might just be
willing to trade it
126
00:07:50,504 --> 00:07:52,606
for something that he does need.
127
00:07:52,673 --> 00:07:54,174
Wouldn't hurt to ask.
128
00:07:54,241 --> 00:07:57,010
I begin to see angel wings
sprouting on your back...
129
00:07:57,077 --> 00:08:00,548
and a hint of a halo, coming
up from behind your left ear.
130
00:08:00,614 --> 00:08:02,883
I told him you'd
probably drop by today.
131
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:06,520
I'll do it. Daddy, I've kept you
away from the mill long enough.
132
00:08:06,587 --> 00:08:08,021
You want to manage
this yourself?
133
00:08:08,088 --> 00:08:10,057
Yeah. I'll ride up
the house with you
134
00:08:10,123 --> 00:08:12,693
and then I'll go
to Rudge's place, okay?
135
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:49,462
Mr. Rudge.
136
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:51,865
My name is John Walton.
137
00:08:51,932 --> 00:08:53,867
I was down at
Ike Godsey's store...
138
00:08:53,934 --> 00:08:55,969
and he said you were
looking around for somebody
139
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:58,672
to help fix up around here.
140
00:08:58,739 --> 00:09:00,708
I got no money.
He tell you that?
141
00:09:00,774 --> 00:09:04,144
He said that you might be
willing to make a trade.
142
00:09:04,211 --> 00:09:05,579
Might be.
143
00:09:05,646 --> 00:09:07,881
He said something about
an old car you might
144
00:09:07,948 --> 00:09:09,583
be willing to
trade for the work.
145
00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:11,885
He's wrong.
146
00:09:11,952 --> 00:09:15,188
I got a good set
of machinist's tools.
147
00:09:15,255 --> 00:09:17,691
I'd be willing
to part with that.
148
00:09:17,758 --> 00:09:21,228
Thank you, but that
won't help me out any.
149
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:23,831
I got a game leg...
150
00:09:23,897 --> 00:09:26,466
and I can't manage myself.
151
00:09:26,533 --> 00:09:29,102
Maybe I could throw in...
152
00:09:29,169 --> 00:09:31,038
the Victrola.
153
00:09:31,104 --> 00:09:34,407
I'm sorry, but a car
is what I really need.
154
00:09:34,474 --> 00:09:37,645
You take it or leave it.
155
00:09:37,711 --> 00:09:39,980
Thank you. But I really
can't afford to put
156
00:09:40,047 --> 00:09:42,315
in the time unless
I'm working for a car.
157
00:09:42,382 --> 00:09:44,885
Good day to you.
158
00:09:44,952 --> 00:09:46,854
Boy!
159
00:09:52,693 --> 00:09:56,096
If I was willing to strike
this bargain that you want...
160
00:09:56,163 --> 00:09:59,432
you'd have to do a powerful lot
more than just fixing my roof.
161
00:09:59,499 --> 00:10:05,005
I'll do whatever has to be done.
162
00:10:05,072 --> 00:10:06,840
You'll catch a chill out here.
163
00:10:06,907 --> 00:10:10,711
Catch a worse one inside if you
don't get that roof repaired.
164
00:10:10,778 --> 00:10:13,413
-You're the Walton boy, right?
-Yes, ma'am.
165
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,184
I was down at Godsey's store the
other day. I saw you in there.
166
00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:19,086
You gonna help out
with the chores?
167
00:10:19,152 --> 00:10:21,655
Like to if Mr. Rudge
would trade the car you've
168
00:10:21,722 --> 00:10:23,323
for the work I do.
169
00:10:23,390 --> 00:10:26,894
Go in the house, Martha, I got
more to say to this boy here.
170
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,163
-But, Hyder, you not going to--
-I'll talk to you later.
171
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:41,775
-Nice to have met you.
-Thank you.
172
00:10:41,842 --> 00:10:43,777
Can I see the car?
173
00:10:43,844 --> 00:10:46,046
What for?
174
00:10:46,113 --> 00:10:48,148
Mr. Rudge, I'll fix
the roof for you,
175
00:10:48,215 --> 00:10:50,283
I'll do any other
chores you want done.
176
00:10:50,350 --> 00:10:52,519
But I'd like to know
what I'm working for.
177
00:10:52,585 --> 00:10:54,154
When can you start?
178
00:10:54,221 --> 00:10:58,959
-First thing in the morning.
-I'll show you the car then.
179
00:10:59,026 --> 00:11:01,862
I'd like to see it now.
180
00:11:01,929 --> 00:11:05,332
If you're so feeble you
can't use your feet...
181
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:09,069
I don't see how you can do all
the work that needs doing here.
182
00:11:09,136 --> 00:11:11,038
Mr. Rudge, I don't
think you understand.
183
00:11:11,104 --> 00:11:13,841
I'm going to be going off
to college in the fall.
184
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:16,309
My family's got a truck
but they need it.
185
00:11:16,376 --> 00:11:17,677
There's no bus I can take.
186
00:11:17,745 --> 00:11:20,781
If I've got to walk 28 miles
back and forth to college
187
00:11:20,848 --> 00:11:23,683
every day, I'll have no
time to do any studying.
188
00:11:23,751 --> 00:11:28,856
My education is
very important to me.
189
00:11:28,922 --> 00:11:33,326
You'll have to repair the roof,
clean up this here yard...
190
00:11:33,393 --> 00:11:37,064
fix all them
windows and doors...
191
00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:40,734
nail down all the loose
floor boards in the house...
192
00:11:40,801 --> 00:11:45,338
and chop me enough
wood for the winter.
193
00:11:45,405 --> 00:11:47,507
Alright.
194
00:11:47,574 --> 00:11:49,843
That's a lot of work.
195
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:51,411
That's an unfair lot of work,
196
00:11:51,478 --> 00:11:54,214
but I can't afford
to worry about that.
197
00:11:54,281 --> 00:11:57,617
May I see the car?
198
00:11:57,684 --> 00:12:00,754
-Come along.
-Thank you.
199
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:36,990
This is beautiful.
200
00:12:37,057 --> 00:12:41,094
She's got a rumble seat.
201
00:12:41,161 --> 00:12:45,933
-She is really beautiful.
-Now you've seen it.
202
00:12:45,999 --> 00:12:47,634
-How's the engine?
-In perfect running order.
203
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:48,902
May I try her out?
204
00:12:48,969 --> 00:12:51,204
You just have to
take my word for it.
205
00:12:51,271 --> 00:12:53,974
I'm taking your word
that you can do my chores.
206
00:12:54,041 --> 00:12:57,377
Okay. After a day's work, if
you're satisfied I can do it...
207
00:12:57,444 --> 00:13:03,917
I'll have to be
satisfied with your engine.
208
00:13:03,984 --> 00:13:08,788
-What age are you, boy?
-Eighteen.
209
00:13:08,856 --> 00:13:12,259
What are you going
to do with your life?
210
00:13:12,325 --> 00:13:14,527
I'm enrolled at
the School of Journalism
211
00:13:14,594 --> 00:13:16,830
at Boatwright University.
212
00:13:16,897 --> 00:13:18,932
What does your Daddy
think of that?
213
00:13:18,999 --> 00:13:22,002
He's for it.
214
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:23,603
Be here early.
215
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:26,940
I'll be here at the crack of
dawn if you want me to.
216
00:13:27,007 --> 00:13:28,408
Afternoon, Mr. Rudge.
217
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:12,185
Look, Mama, it's
a going-away present.
218
00:14:12,252 --> 00:14:15,455
No, son. Not for going away.
It's for coming home!
219
00:14:15,522 --> 00:14:18,025
You two! What am
I going to do with you?
220
00:14:18,091 --> 00:14:24,097
Come on in now, have
some birthday cake.
221
00:14:24,164 --> 00:14:26,233
Absolutely beautiful.
It's not new or anything...
222
00:14:26,299 --> 00:14:27,534
but it's in amazing condition,
223
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,336
the way it's all
waxed and polished.
224
00:14:29,402 --> 00:14:32,672
You'd think it was a baby,
the way he takes care of it.
225
00:14:32,739 --> 00:14:35,175
He's a strange man.
226
00:14:35,242 --> 00:14:36,509
Why do you say that?
227
00:14:36,576 --> 00:14:38,878
I've been down at Ike's
when Rudge has come in.
228
00:14:38,946 --> 00:14:42,415
He asks for his mail right off
the bat, he looks things over...
229
00:14:42,482 --> 00:14:45,685
and then leaves without saying
so much as fare thee well.
230
00:14:45,752 --> 00:14:48,321
I saw her once.
She's a sweet looking woman.
231
00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:50,757
-She looks like a ghost now.
-I'm scared.
232
00:14:50,823 --> 00:14:53,826
He said she looks like a ghost.
Didn't say she is one.
233
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:56,129
I'm still scared.
234
00:14:56,196 --> 00:14:58,165
Seems if they were
right-thinking people,
235
00:14:58,231 --> 00:14:59,632
we'd see them in church.
236
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:01,834
Now hold your horses, everybody.
237
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:04,737
The Rudges have problems. They
must, the way they're acting.
238
00:15:04,804 --> 00:15:06,306
It's none of our business.
239
00:15:06,373 --> 00:15:09,376
Absolutely right. I'm going to
go down there and do my work...
240
00:15:09,442 --> 00:15:11,711
and when it's all done,
I'll drive it home.
241
00:15:11,778 --> 00:15:14,514
Can't you drive it home
tomorrow, so we can see it?
242
00:15:14,581 --> 00:15:18,051
I can't even touch it until I
put in a full day's work.
243
00:15:18,118 --> 00:15:20,120
Reminds me, Mama,
I got to be there at dawn.
244
00:15:20,187 --> 00:15:21,688
Would you pack me up a lunch?
245
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:24,857
Ham and biscuits, and how about
some vegetable soup in a jar?
246
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:26,126
Sounds good.
247
00:15:26,193 --> 00:15:27,894
When I was your
age and worked out
248
00:15:27,961 --> 00:15:29,762
amongst strangers,
they'd feed me.
249
00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:31,131
Why, even over at Esther's,
250
00:15:31,198 --> 00:15:33,433
they'd usually feed
me something or other.
251
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:34,667
You ate too much.
252
00:15:34,734 --> 00:15:36,403
I don't think they're
that kind of people.
253
00:15:36,469 --> 00:15:38,271
Ham and biscuits will be fine.
254
00:15:38,338 --> 00:15:42,009
-We'll take your lunch to you.
-see the car at the same time.
255
00:15:42,075 --> 00:15:44,311
-We can all go.
-And have lunch with you.
256
00:15:44,377 --> 00:15:46,546
I don't think they like company.
257
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:47,614
Company or no company...
258
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,150
I think John ought
to pay him a visit
259
00:15:50,217 --> 00:15:51,684
and make sure
everything's alright.
260
00:15:51,751 --> 00:15:53,320
Everything's alright.
261
00:15:53,386 --> 00:15:55,322
They're not the kind
of people we're used to
262
00:15:55,388 --> 00:15:57,424
It's going to work
out just fine.
263
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:13,473
-Hyder.
-Yes, Martha?
264
00:16:13,540 --> 00:16:18,145
-Come on in now.
-I'll be in directly.
265
00:16:18,211 --> 00:16:20,147
It's getting late.
266
00:16:20,213 --> 00:16:24,517
I'll be tired soon.
I'll be along.
267
00:16:24,584 --> 00:16:27,820
The Walton boy thinks you're
going to let him have the car.
268
00:16:27,887 --> 00:16:31,824
-That's what I told him.
-I know...
269
00:16:31,891 --> 00:16:35,495
but I don't believe you're going
to be able to let it go.
270
00:16:51,978 --> 00:16:56,216
Mr. Rudge.
271
00:16:56,283 --> 00:16:58,318
We're having a
lucky streak. I think most
272
00:16:58,385 --> 00:17:00,353
of this wood's good
enough to use again.
273
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:02,155
Fine. To tell
you truth, I thought
274
00:17:02,222 --> 00:17:04,257
I was going to have to make up
275
00:17:04,324 --> 00:17:05,992
a whole new batch of shingles,
276
00:17:06,059 --> 00:17:07,827
but I see that
that's not the case.
277
00:17:07,894 --> 00:17:09,362
I'm going to tie these shingles
278
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:11,931
up in batches of 20
with a length of rope
279
00:17:11,998 --> 00:17:15,001
and I'll hitch that length
of rope up on to the roof
280
00:17:15,068 --> 00:17:18,405
and when the time comes to do
the job, I'll save us time.
281
00:17:18,471 --> 00:17:24,111
Do you always talk so much?
282
00:17:24,177 --> 00:17:28,348
I just hope you'll be
satisfied at this point
283
00:17:28,415 --> 00:17:32,585
that I'll be able to do the job.
284
00:17:32,652 --> 00:17:38,725
Glad to see you in
such a fine mood today.
285
00:17:38,791 --> 00:17:40,593
He doesn't mean any harm.
286
00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:43,330
Yeah, I understand.
287
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:44,597
Some people just don't take
288
00:17:44,664 --> 00:17:46,733
kindly to young
folks, that's all.
289
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:48,701
It's not that.
290
00:17:48,768 --> 00:17:52,539
-It doesn't matter much.
-It's because of the car.
291
00:17:52,605 --> 00:17:54,441
Mrs. Rudge...
292
00:17:54,507 --> 00:17:56,243
I hope you
understand I don't want
293
00:17:56,309 --> 00:17:58,145
that car for any
foolish reasons.
294
00:17:58,211 --> 00:18:00,613
I know why you want it.
295
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,948
And even if I didn't...
296
00:18:02,014 --> 00:18:04,050
you don't appear to be a boy
297
00:18:04,117 --> 00:18:06,018
who goes in for
too much foolishness.
298
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:08,255
No, I don't reckon I am.
299
00:18:08,321 --> 00:18:10,390
John-Boy...
300
00:18:10,457 --> 00:18:12,559
do you know anything
about Hyder and me?
301
00:18:12,625 --> 00:18:14,594
I don't think
I know what you mean.
302
00:18:14,661 --> 00:18:17,497
I think there is something
you ought to understand.
303
00:18:17,564 --> 00:18:20,833
I'd appreciate it if this went
no further than the two of us
304
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:22,869
but I sense that
you are a person
305
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:25,272
who will honor his promise.
306
00:18:25,338 --> 00:18:27,407
I didn't make a promise.
307
00:18:27,474 --> 00:18:29,976
I want you to promise me
that you won't repeat
308
00:18:30,042 --> 00:18:32,612
anything of what
I am going to tell you.
309
00:18:32,679 --> 00:18:36,783
Ma'am, honestly, I don't know if
I can keep a promise like that.
310
00:18:36,849 --> 00:18:39,319
Well, in that case I--
311
00:18:39,386 --> 00:18:41,988
Standing around isn't
my idea of working.
312
00:18:42,054 --> 00:18:44,491
Nor mine.
313
00:18:44,557 --> 00:18:46,025
I'm going to need a ladder.
314
00:18:46,092 --> 00:18:49,296
There's one in the garage.
Never mind, I'll get it for you.
315
00:18:49,362 --> 00:18:51,964
-Let me help you.
-Hyder, let him get the ladder!
316
00:18:52,031 --> 00:18:55,735
Mr. Rudge, I happen to need
a ladder, it's in your garage.
317
00:18:55,802 --> 00:18:58,505
You can come along
with me while I get it
318
00:18:58,571 --> 00:19:01,874
and satisfy yourself that
I am not going to steal my car.
319
00:19:01,941 --> 00:19:04,811
It ain't yours yet.
320
00:19:11,050 --> 00:19:13,520
Mr. Rudge, I have
struck a bargain with you.
321
00:19:13,586 --> 00:19:15,355
You have struck
a bargain with me.
322
00:19:15,422 --> 00:19:17,224
For me to hold up my bargain
323
00:19:17,290 --> 00:19:18,725
I got to have
the use of your ladder.
324
00:19:18,791 --> 00:19:25,898
That's the only
reason I want to get in.
325
00:19:25,965 --> 00:19:30,203
You wait out here.
326
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:33,473
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
327
00:20:06,005 --> 00:20:09,876
So the coach said, You've got
good form there, Rudge.
328
00:20:09,942 --> 00:20:12,078
"Why don't you
come out for track?"
329
00:20:12,144 --> 00:20:15,615
And I said, "I've got
better things to do.
330
00:20:15,682 --> 00:20:19,619
"My dad and me are driving to
Norfolk to see a battleship."
331
00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:24,957
I don't know what's
going on down there.
332
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:26,526
She started to talk to me,
333
00:20:26,593 --> 00:20:28,595
and then he walked
up and she stopped.
334
00:20:28,661 --> 00:20:31,298
But he did start
the car, engine sounds
335
00:20:31,364 --> 00:20:32,899
it ought to be
in a Duesenberg.
336
00:20:32,965 --> 00:20:35,201
Probably was. Maybe that's
why he's acting so funny.
337
00:20:35,268 --> 00:20:37,504
Maybe the car is
made up of stolen parts.
338
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:39,138
Maybe there's
a machine gun in the seat
339
00:20:39,205 --> 00:20:41,173
left over from a bank robbery.
340
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,444
You children are letting your
imaginations run away with you.
341
00:20:44,511 --> 00:20:46,112
Erin and I have been thinking.
342
00:20:46,178 --> 00:20:48,681
We don't want your car
looking like every other car.
343
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:50,817
We think we ought to have
a family project.
344
00:20:50,883 --> 00:20:51,951
Designed to what?
345
00:20:52,018 --> 00:20:53,953
Designed to design
you a new-looking car.
346
00:20:54,020 --> 00:20:56,022
We can paint it.
347
00:20:56,088 --> 00:20:57,490
Red like a fire truck.
348
00:20:57,557 --> 00:20:59,526
Then everybody will think
you're the fire chief.
349
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:02,562
No, I think it ought to be
something more collegy.
350
00:21:02,629 --> 00:21:03,930
Like painting slogans on it.
351
00:21:03,996 --> 00:21:05,732
23 skidoo, razzmatazz,
that kind of stuff.
352
00:21:05,798 --> 00:21:07,767
I don't think it's
a very good idea
353
00:21:07,834 --> 00:21:09,369
for me to make
my first appearance
354
00:21:09,436 --> 00:21:10,937
on campus too noticeable.
355
00:21:11,003 --> 00:21:14,040
Maybe we ought to let him
decide what he wants to do.
356
00:21:14,106 --> 00:21:16,509
First, I want to have it.
357
00:21:16,576 --> 00:21:18,578
Then I'd like
to paint it a nice
358
00:21:18,645 --> 00:21:20,480
dignified shade of tan, I think.
359
00:21:20,547 --> 00:21:22,315
I saw a car with white fenders
360
00:21:22,382 --> 00:21:23,983
and a black and
white checkered body.
361
00:21:24,050 --> 00:21:26,486
What did it looked like,
a butterfly with wheels?
362
00:21:26,553 --> 00:21:28,888
No, it looked like
a newspaper with wheels.
363
00:21:28,955 --> 00:21:32,191
John-Boy, could we paint
the rumble seat a special color?
364
00:21:32,258 --> 00:21:33,593
Why the rumble seat?
365
00:21:33,660 --> 00:21:35,728
Because that's where
I'm going to sit.
366
00:21:35,795 --> 00:21:39,065
Can I be the first one
to the ride in the new car?
367
00:21:39,131 --> 00:21:40,333
Me, too.
368
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,301
All that fuss over an old car.
369
00:21:42,369 --> 00:21:44,537
You'd think no one
ever had one before.
370
00:21:44,604 --> 00:21:47,840
No one ever did, in this family.
That old truck doesn't count.
371
00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:50,176
It does if you want
to get somewhere.
372
00:21:50,242 --> 00:21:53,613
I got to get somewhere right
now. I got to get to bed.
373
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,415
Mr. Rudge is getting
his money's worth
374
00:21:55,482 --> 00:21:57,717
and my back's telling
me to say goodnight.
375
00:21:57,784 --> 00:21:59,318
It's time everybody
got to bed. Upstairs.
376
00:21:59,386 --> 00:22:00,720
Goodnight.
377
00:22:00,787 --> 00:22:02,822
-Goodnight, Mama, Daddy.
-Goodnight, son.
378
00:22:02,889 --> 00:22:04,824
-Goodnight, everybody.
-Goodnight, Grandma.
379
00:22:04,891 --> 00:22:08,260
-Goodnight, honey.
-Goodnight, Daddy.
380
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:12,164
Goodnight, Mary Ellen.
I'll be up.
381
00:22:12,231 --> 00:22:15,334
I think one of us ought
to go and visit the Rudges.
382
00:22:15,402 --> 00:22:17,570
Doesn't sound like
they want anyone around.
383
00:22:17,637 --> 00:22:21,408
I suppose so, but with John-Boy
working over there
384
00:22:21,474 --> 00:22:23,976
I think we ought to know
more about those people.
385
00:22:24,043 --> 00:22:26,012
I hope they won't
take advantage of him.
386
00:22:26,078 --> 00:22:28,815
Don't worry. He's going to be
in all kinds of situations.
387
00:22:28,881 --> 00:22:32,719
We are not going to be here to
help. He's gonna have to learn.
388
00:22:41,093 --> 00:22:44,697
-Got yourself a new roof.
-The house feels cozier already.
389
00:22:44,764 --> 00:22:49,068
-I thought you might be thirsty.
-Thank you.
390
00:22:49,135 --> 00:22:51,303
I purely love milk.
391
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:52,905
Never realized how
much I loved it
392
00:22:52,972 --> 00:22:55,742
till we lost our cow
and had to do without.
393
00:22:55,808 --> 00:22:58,077
I'd be glad to send
your mom over some.
394
00:22:58,144 --> 00:23:00,947
With a family that big,
she must be lost without a cow.
395
00:23:01,013 --> 00:23:04,283
Thank you, ma'am.
But we got another one.
396
00:23:04,350 --> 00:23:06,152
I walked past your
house one night.
397
00:23:06,218 --> 00:23:09,221
I was in some kind of a mood
and felt like walking
398
00:23:09,288 --> 00:23:13,526
so I kept going until there
I was in front of your house.
399
00:23:13,593 --> 00:23:16,228
It was around 9:00
and all the lights were on
400
00:23:16,295 --> 00:23:17,530
I could hear all those
401
00:23:17,597 --> 00:23:19,365
children's voices
all over the house.
402
00:23:19,432 --> 00:23:23,570
Well, there's enough of us.
We make enough noise at bedtime.
403
00:23:23,636 --> 00:23:28,040
I just stood there and listened
till it all got quiet.
404
00:23:28,107 --> 00:23:32,712
Then I came back here.
405
00:23:32,779 --> 00:23:34,747
Martha!
406
00:23:34,814 --> 00:23:37,950
Right away, Hyder.
My husband needs me.
407
00:23:38,017 --> 00:23:40,052
Thank you, ma'am.
408
00:23:49,128 --> 00:23:50,930
Why don't you have
your dinner with us?
409
00:23:50,997 --> 00:23:52,899
Thank you, ma'am.
I brought my own.
410
00:23:52,965 --> 00:23:55,702
Ham, biscuits, and
a jelly jar of soup.
411
00:23:55,768 --> 00:23:59,038
I've been watching you
through the window.
412
00:23:59,105 --> 00:24:01,107
If you don't think
Mr. Rudge would mind.
413
00:24:01,173 --> 00:24:04,410
I can't tell you what a pleasure
it would give both of us
414
00:24:04,477 --> 00:24:05,745
to hear the sound
of young person's
415
00:24:05,812 --> 00:24:11,851
voice sharing our meal.
416
00:24:11,918 --> 00:24:15,555
Thank you, I believe I will.
Let me wash up first.
417
00:24:21,861 --> 00:24:24,096
She always wanted
to see herself as a blonde
418
00:24:24,163 --> 00:24:27,433
but she was too afraid to try
that goop on her own hair.
419
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:29,301
So she tried it
out on Jim-Bob
420
00:24:29,368 --> 00:24:33,339
and his hair turned the awfulest
shade of pink you ever saw.
421
00:24:33,405 --> 00:24:38,945
Mama made her memorize
10 Bible verses that very night.
422
00:24:39,011 --> 00:24:40,780
I'm going on
talking like a fool.
423
00:24:40,847 --> 00:24:43,015
I haven't let you say a word.
424
00:24:43,082 --> 00:24:46,786
What brought you up here
to Walton's Mountain, anyway?
425
00:24:46,853 --> 00:24:48,621
My leg's starting
to bother me, Martha.
426
00:24:48,688 --> 00:24:54,994
I think I'll go to my room.
427
00:24:55,061 --> 00:24:58,264
Ma'am, I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to pry. I really didn't.
428
00:24:58,330 --> 00:25:01,200
I know you didn't, John-Boy.
429
00:25:01,267 --> 00:25:04,036
There is one thing I'd
like to know though.
430
00:25:04,103 --> 00:25:07,840
How come he acts so
peculiar about that car?
431
00:25:07,907 --> 00:25:10,777
He'll have to tell you that.
432
00:26:05,464 --> 00:26:06,866
Get out of that seat.
433
00:26:06,933 --> 00:26:09,268
-Get out!
-I'm sorry.
434
00:26:09,335 --> 00:26:10,837
That car doesn't belong to you.
435
00:26:10,903 --> 00:26:12,872
I was just sitting,
wasn't going to drive.
436
00:26:12,939 --> 00:26:14,240
You're to be working,
not sitting
437
00:26:14,306 --> 00:26:16,375
in what ain't yours,
acting like it was.
438
00:26:16,442 --> 00:26:17,644
I'm sorry.
439
00:26:17,710 --> 00:26:19,912
Get out of here.
Tend your business.
440
00:26:27,019 --> 00:26:28,821
And he was right behind me.
441
00:26:28,888 --> 00:26:33,059
He grabs me by the shoulder and
yanks me right out of the car.
442
00:26:33,125 --> 00:26:36,128
Car or no car, I don't want
you going up there again.
443
00:26:36,195 --> 00:26:39,598
-That man sounds dangerous.
-He wasn't trying to hurt me.
444
00:26:39,666 --> 00:26:41,133
How'd you handle it, son?
445
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,269
He started accusing me
of not doing my work properly.
446
00:26:43,335 --> 00:26:46,305
So I got back to it
as quickly as I could.
447
00:26:46,372 --> 00:26:47,840
Sounds like he's
just using you
448
00:26:47,907 --> 00:26:49,976
and doesn't intend
to give that car at all.
449
00:26:50,042 --> 00:26:51,778
That's a chance
I've got to take.
450
00:26:51,844 --> 00:26:53,780
No, We'll find another car.
451
00:26:53,846 --> 00:26:56,148
The man may be
a lunatic, for all we know.
452
00:26:56,215 --> 00:26:58,785
He's not a lunatic.
He's just a crotchety old man.
453
00:26:58,851 --> 00:27:00,319
I've struck a bargain with him.
454
00:27:00,386 --> 00:27:02,889
He has to live up
to his end of it.
455
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:05,324
-Don't you reckon?
-Sounds right to me.
456
00:27:05,391 --> 00:27:06,893
What if he doesn't
live up to his end of it?
457
00:27:06,959 --> 00:27:10,763
I'll have to take it up
with Sheriff Bridges.
458
00:27:23,710 --> 00:27:26,879
Come in.
459
00:27:26,946 --> 00:27:29,381
Hey, Jason. How are you?
460
00:27:36,255 --> 00:27:42,061
Should I keep on reading
or do you want something?
461
00:27:42,128 --> 00:27:46,098
-Do you know Patti Ann Sommers?
-Sure.
462
00:27:46,165 --> 00:27:47,900
Cute.
463
00:27:47,967 --> 00:27:49,902
I like her a lot.
464
00:27:49,969 --> 00:27:53,172
Have you asked her out yet?
465
00:27:53,239 --> 00:27:56,308
Last Sunday, I asked her if I
could walk her home from church
466
00:27:56,375 --> 00:27:58,878
and she went with
Matt Nelson instead.
467
00:27:58,945 --> 00:28:03,615
What? How could she turn you
down for that creep?
468
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:05,718
I don't know. I
think the reason is
469
00:28:05,785 --> 00:28:08,420
because he's got
a car, a roadster
470
00:28:08,487 --> 00:28:09,789
and they go driving in it.
471
00:28:09,856 --> 00:28:12,591
Up to Flea Rock where
it's nice and quiet.
472
00:28:12,658 --> 00:28:14,560
Yeah, that's the place.
473
00:28:14,626 --> 00:28:17,897
Jason, if the only way to get
Patti Ann Sommers on a date
474
00:28:17,964 --> 00:28:19,966
is to have a car,
that sure doesn't
475
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:22,434
say much for her
character, does it?
476
00:28:22,501 --> 00:28:23,770
I've thought about that
477
00:28:23,836 --> 00:28:26,138
but I want to take
her on a date anyway.
478
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:29,375
Up to Flea Rock where
it's nice and quiet?
479
00:28:29,441 --> 00:28:33,913
I figured if she knew I had a
car maybe I'd stand a chance.
480
00:28:33,980 --> 00:28:35,882
Jason, to tell you the truth
481
00:28:35,948 --> 00:28:38,250
I don't know if I'll
end up with this car.
482
00:28:38,317 --> 00:28:41,320
But if I do, as soon as
it's part of the family
483
00:28:41,387 --> 00:28:44,456
it's yours for the asking.
Don't worry about it.
484
00:28:44,523 --> 00:28:48,060
-Thanks.
-You're welcome.
485
00:28:48,127 --> 00:28:51,297
-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.
486
00:28:51,363 --> 00:28:53,365
Thanks.
487
00:28:53,432 --> 00:28:55,835
Good luck.
488
00:29:03,675 --> 00:29:06,112
-Come in.
-Hi, John-Boy.
489
00:29:06,178 --> 00:29:08,314
I'll have to ask
Mama and Daddy first.
490
00:29:08,380 --> 00:29:09,315
Ask them what?
491
00:29:09,381 --> 00:29:12,084
If you can learn
to drive and use my car.
492
00:29:12,151 --> 00:29:14,153
Are you some kind
of witch or something?
493
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:17,924
A male witch is called
a warlock. Yes, I am.
494
00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:21,227
What do you think they'll say?
495
00:29:21,293 --> 00:29:23,595
I reckon Mama wouldn't mind
learning to drive herself.
496
00:29:23,662 --> 00:29:25,131
Mama? She's too old.
497
00:29:25,197 --> 00:29:28,700
She is not too old.
You're just too young.
498
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:31,270
I'm old enough
to learn to drive.
499
00:29:31,337 --> 00:29:33,372
If they say you can,
then I'll teach you.
500
00:29:33,439 --> 00:29:35,875
You're too young to
understand is what I mean.
501
00:29:35,942 --> 00:29:38,244
-I don't understand.
-Right. Goodnight.
502
00:29:46,518 --> 00:29:50,456
Oh, no. Come in. Come in.
503
00:29:56,495 --> 00:29:58,164
-Could we ask you something?
-Yeah.
504
00:29:58,230 --> 00:30:01,233
Can we be the first ones
to ride in the rumble seat?
505
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:04,136
You're the first to ask.
I don't see why not.
506
00:30:04,203 --> 00:30:05,604
Promise?
507
00:30:05,671 --> 00:30:09,041
The only person who hasn't
asked for a ride is Grandma.
508
00:30:09,108 --> 00:30:11,810
I doubt she'll want to ride
in the rumble seat.
509
00:30:11,878 --> 00:30:14,847
-Thanks.
-Goodnight, you're welcome.
510
00:30:14,914 --> 00:30:20,786
Close the door.
511
00:30:20,853 --> 00:30:27,559
Gosh.
512
00:30:27,626 --> 00:30:30,129
I'm asleep. Goodnight.
513
00:30:30,196 --> 00:30:32,198
I'll talk to you in
the morning. Night.
514
00:30:32,264 --> 00:30:33,199
Grandma?
515
00:30:33,265 --> 00:30:36,302
No, no, come in, come in.
516
00:30:36,368 --> 00:30:38,137
It's nothing.
It can wait.
517
00:30:38,204 --> 00:30:41,473
No, no, I'm wide awake.
I didn't know it was you.
518
00:30:45,144 --> 00:30:48,881
I've always had
a kind of a hankering....
519
00:30:48,948 --> 00:30:52,184
I was wondering if....
520
00:30:52,251 --> 00:30:55,054
Would you mind taking me
for a ride in your new car?
521
00:30:55,121 --> 00:31:01,660
-Sure.
-In the rumble seat?
522
00:31:01,727 --> 00:31:03,896
It's a date.
523
00:31:03,963 --> 00:31:07,266
-That'll be just lovely.
-Yes, it will.
524
00:31:07,333 --> 00:31:09,201
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
525
00:31:09,268 --> 00:31:12,704
-Goodnight.
-Watch out for the door.
526
00:31:12,771 --> 00:31:18,410
-Sleep tight.
-You, too.
527
00:31:18,477 --> 00:31:22,314
Mr. Rudge, there's a lot of
Waltons depending on that car.
528
00:31:30,256 --> 00:31:32,791
-What are you two doing here?
-We came to measure.
529
00:31:32,858 --> 00:31:34,093
Measure what?
530
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,028
We're making you
surprise seat covers.
531
00:31:36,095 --> 00:31:38,931
But we need to know
what size they should be.
532
00:31:38,998 --> 00:31:41,400
I guess it won't be
such a surprise anymore.
533
00:31:41,467 --> 00:31:43,469
Of course they will.
I think it's wonderful.
534
00:31:43,535 --> 00:31:44,971
Thank you very much.
535
00:31:45,037 --> 00:31:46,538
It'll only take a second.
536
00:31:46,605 --> 00:31:49,875
We got the measuring tape, a pad
and pencil to write it down.
537
00:31:49,942 --> 00:31:54,346
Grandma said she'd help.
538
00:31:54,413 --> 00:31:57,483
Listen, girls, I'm having
a little problem here.
539
00:31:57,549 --> 00:31:59,986
Mr. Rudge is acting
awful peculiar about the car.
540
00:32:00,052 --> 00:32:01,820
He's got it locked
up in the garage.
541
00:32:01,887 --> 00:32:03,689
Doesn't want me to look at it.
542
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:05,057
To tell you the truth,
543
00:32:05,124 --> 00:32:07,359
I'm afraid to ask him
for the garage keys.
544
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:10,229
-But it's yours, isn't it?
-Sort of, yeah.
545
00:32:10,296 --> 00:32:13,432
You've been working
for weeks to earn it.
546
00:32:13,499 --> 00:32:16,735
Yes, I have. And I'm gonna own
it. I'm gonna finish today.
547
00:32:16,802 --> 00:32:18,137
The material's all ready.
548
00:32:18,204 --> 00:32:20,439
We even dyed it dark
green like you wanted.
549
00:32:20,506 --> 00:32:25,477
It's all set to be cut out,
but we need to know the size.
550
00:32:25,544 --> 00:32:26,745
He's sick in bed today.
551
00:32:26,812 --> 00:32:29,815
Maybe Mrs. Rudge'll
let me have the keys, okay?
552
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:32,051
I'm gonna go find out.
553
00:32:38,390 --> 00:32:43,662
Come in.
554
00:32:43,729 --> 00:32:45,031
Excuse me, ma'am.
555
00:32:45,097 --> 00:32:46,632
-You finished those shutters?
-Yes, ma'am.
556
00:32:46,698 --> 00:32:49,435
-Two of my sisters are here.
-I'd love to meet them.
557
00:32:49,501 --> 00:32:52,238
They're right outside.
But I've got a problem.
558
00:32:52,304 --> 00:32:53,672
The children wanna surprise me.
559
00:32:53,739 --> 00:32:55,741
They wanna make seat
covers for the car.
560
00:32:55,807 --> 00:32:57,376
They've come out
here to measure.
561
00:32:57,443 --> 00:32:59,045
I see.
562
00:32:59,111 --> 00:33:01,113
I'm afraid to
mention it to Mr. Rudge.
563
00:33:01,180 --> 00:33:03,282
But I don't want
to disappoint my sisters.
564
00:33:03,349 --> 00:33:05,617
They've made a whole
project out of this,
565
00:33:05,684 --> 00:33:08,420
gone to a lot of trouble.
566
00:33:08,487 --> 00:33:11,657
And you want me to ask Hyder
for the keys to the garage?
567
00:33:11,723 --> 00:33:13,692
-If you wouldn't mind.
-No, I'll ask him.
568
00:33:13,759 --> 00:33:16,962
You have every right to do
whatever you like with that car.
569
00:33:17,029 --> 00:33:23,135
-Thank you.
-I'll be right back.
570
00:33:23,202 --> 00:33:25,071
Is it okay?
571
00:33:25,137 --> 00:33:26,738
She's asking him.
572
00:33:26,805 --> 00:33:31,343
You just wait and see. You'll
have the chiciest car in town.
573
00:33:31,410 --> 00:33:35,081
-Chicest. Chic, chicer, chicest.
-What do you know?
574
00:33:35,147 --> 00:33:38,184
I made the same mistake once
and Miss Hunter corrected me.
575
00:33:38,250 --> 00:33:40,686
-What does she know?
-You're sounding like her.
576
00:33:40,752 --> 00:33:42,921
What's wrong with that?
577
00:33:42,988 --> 00:33:44,923
Mrs. Rudge, I'd like you to meet
578
00:33:44,990 --> 00:33:46,758
two of my sisters,
Erin, Mary Ellen Walton.
579
00:33:46,825 --> 00:33:47,926
-Hello.
-Hi.
580
00:33:47,993 --> 00:33:50,596
John-Boy, he's not in his room.
581
00:34:02,074 --> 00:34:04,143
Where is it?
582
00:34:15,154 --> 00:34:17,323
Mr. Rudge, what have
you done with my car?
583
00:34:17,389 --> 00:34:21,193
It's not yours.
And it never will be.
584
00:34:59,865 --> 00:35:02,701
I'm leaving now.
585
00:35:02,768 --> 00:35:05,704
We have to wait, Martha.
586
00:35:05,771 --> 00:35:08,574
You should be here, too.
587
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,409
Hyder, it's not
like I'm leaving you
588
00:35:10,476 --> 00:35:12,811
and this house
for something else.
589
00:35:12,878 --> 00:35:15,447
I've got nothing else.
590
00:35:15,514 --> 00:35:17,349
But the way we've been living
591
00:35:17,416 --> 00:35:22,020
is like having
nothing 24 hours a day.
592
00:35:22,087 --> 00:35:26,892
Things will be better now that
that Walton boy won't be around.
593
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:28,560
He's the only sign of life
594
00:35:28,627 --> 00:35:33,365
we've had in this
house for three years.
595
00:35:33,432 --> 00:35:35,701
You'll see, I know.
596
00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:39,805
All that time we've spent
waiting is going to end soon.
597
00:35:45,977 --> 00:35:51,683
Poor Hyder.
598
00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:53,185
We could never
have the wonderful
599
00:35:53,252 --> 00:35:57,256
life we had before,
I know that
600
00:35:57,323 --> 00:35:58,624
but somehow, between
the two of us,
601
00:35:58,690 --> 00:36:01,793
we could have saved something.
602
00:36:01,860 --> 00:36:06,265
This way we got nothing.
603
00:36:06,332 --> 00:36:08,567
We've got hope.
604
00:36:15,407 --> 00:36:19,878
What did you do with the car?
605
00:36:19,945 --> 00:36:24,750
I won't tell you.
606
00:36:24,816 --> 00:36:30,722
The Walton boy is going to live
whether he gets that car or not.
607
00:36:30,789 --> 00:36:34,493
Hyder, if you could
only let him have it.
608
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,096
He worked for it,
he's earned it.
609
00:36:38,163 --> 00:36:39,831
More important
610
00:36:39,898 --> 00:36:43,635
you'd be giving yourself
a real life, here with me.
611
00:36:43,702 --> 00:36:48,674
And whatever time I got left.
612
00:36:48,740 --> 00:36:50,141
I can't.
613
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:54,179
Then you're just gonna have to
sit here and wait for nothing.
614
00:36:54,246 --> 00:36:55,681
Alone.
615
00:37:14,766 --> 00:37:17,969
Mrs. Rudge, are you sure you
know what you're doing?
616
00:37:18,036 --> 00:37:22,841
It's something I should
have done a long time ago.
617
00:37:22,908 --> 00:37:25,143
Where will you go?
618
00:37:25,210 --> 00:37:28,179
I've got a sister in Lynchburg.
619
00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:30,148
I feel so badly about all this.
620
00:37:30,215 --> 00:37:33,151
If we'd known, we never would
have let John-Boy get involved.
621
00:37:33,218 --> 00:37:34,853
The first day I saw him
622
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,588
I felt like telling
him to go on home,
623
00:37:36,655 --> 00:37:39,024
he was never gonna get that car.
624
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:41,460
Then I got to thinking
625
00:37:41,527 --> 00:37:46,498
maybe because he was so
full of life, and so young
626
00:37:46,565 --> 00:37:48,266
maybe Hyder would
come to understand
627
00:37:48,334 --> 00:37:50,101
what he was doing to himself.
628
00:37:50,168 --> 00:37:57,309
And to me.
629
00:37:57,376 --> 00:37:59,878
Mrs. Rudge. Daddy,
this is Mrs. Rudge.
630
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:01,513
-How do?
-How do you do?
631
00:38:01,580 --> 00:38:03,615
John-Boy, I came
by here to see you.
632
00:38:03,682 --> 00:38:07,953
It's about time you
got told the truth.
633
00:38:08,019 --> 00:38:10,055
I can't say as
I disagree with that.
634
00:38:18,564 --> 00:38:20,999
Before we moved here
635
00:38:21,066 --> 00:38:24,903
we had a son.
636
00:38:24,970 --> 00:38:27,072
He was an only child
637
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:30,075
and we made him our whole life.
638
00:38:30,141 --> 00:38:32,911
We worshipped that boy.
639
00:38:32,978 --> 00:38:35,046
Adored him.
640
00:38:35,113 --> 00:38:38,984
Loved him.
641
00:38:39,050 --> 00:38:42,087
Where is he?
642
00:38:42,153 --> 00:38:44,790
He's dead.
643
00:38:44,856 --> 00:38:46,592
I'm sorry.
644
00:38:46,658 --> 00:38:50,696
When he was only 20,
he joined the Merchant Marines.
645
00:38:50,762 --> 00:38:53,231
He had always been
in love with the sea,
646
00:38:53,298 --> 00:38:57,803
ran away once just to get there.
647
00:38:57,869 --> 00:39:02,007
He was like you
in many respects.
648
00:39:02,073 --> 00:39:05,010
Curious and full of ideas.
649
00:39:05,076 --> 00:39:09,381
What happened to him?
650
00:39:09,448 --> 00:39:15,387
The ship he sailed on was sunk.
651
00:39:15,454 --> 00:39:19,891
There was a collision at sea.
652
00:39:19,958 --> 00:39:24,963
We were told there
were no survivors.
653
00:39:25,030 --> 00:39:28,066
Was the car his?
654
00:39:28,133 --> 00:39:31,236
All this time, Hyder's been
taking care of that car.
655
00:39:31,302 --> 00:39:32,571
Polishing it,
treating it like it was
656
00:39:32,638 --> 00:39:35,641
some kind of living thing.
657
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:38,376
It was if it was
some kind of magic for him.
658
00:39:38,444 --> 00:39:40,612
As if somehow
659
00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:47,118
that car was gonna
bring back our boy.
660
00:39:47,185 --> 00:39:51,823
Ma'am, I wish you'd
told me this before.
661
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:55,360
I kept hoping that seeing you
so anxious and so happy
662
00:39:55,427 --> 00:39:57,529
to have the car
663
00:39:57,596 --> 00:39:59,998
wanting to put it
to such good use
664
00:40:00,065 --> 00:40:05,604
that maybe Hyder
could give it up.
665
00:40:05,671 --> 00:40:07,573
You shouldn't be
deprived of your future
666
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:10,642
because Hyder can't
give up the past.
667
00:40:10,709 --> 00:40:12,478
I feel awful funny
taking that car now.
668
00:40:12,544 --> 00:40:15,714
You go and get that car, boy.
669
00:40:15,781 --> 00:40:17,783
If I'm right, Hyder
probably drove it
670
00:40:17,849 --> 00:40:19,017
down to that little glen just
671
00:40:19,084 --> 00:40:21,520
the other side
of Drusilla's pond.
672
00:40:21,587 --> 00:40:24,155
He used to take it there
sometimes to wash it,
673
00:40:24,222 --> 00:40:29,661
and it's a place that he liked.
674
00:40:29,728 --> 00:40:32,363
You earned it fair
and square, son.
675
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:35,433
You have a bargain
with Mr. Rudge.
676
00:40:40,639 --> 00:40:46,678
If the car means
so much to him....
677
00:40:46,745 --> 00:40:49,014
If you could help
him to face the truth,
678
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,484
maybe he could
start living again.
679
00:40:56,488 --> 00:40:58,924
Please.
680
00:40:58,990 --> 00:41:00,826
Okay.
681
00:41:00,892 --> 00:41:02,728
Thank you.
682
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:15,266
Good thing you
brought that car here.
683
00:42:15,333 --> 00:42:17,435
You'd be in a lot of trouble.
684
00:42:17,502 --> 00:42:19,838
Mr. Rudge, I know
about your son.
685
00:42:19,905 --> 00:42:23,875
-I'm sorry.
-I don't want your pity.
686
00:42:23,942 --> 00:42:28,346
You've brought the car back...
687
00:42:28,413 --> 00:42:31,750
and now you can go.
688
00:42:31,817 --> 00:42:36,955
-His name was Hyde, wasn't it?
-What do you care?
689
00:42:37,022 --> 00:42:38,790
I care.
690
00:42:38,857 --> 00:42:41,693
I'd like to know about him.
691
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,762
The color of his eyes
692
00:42:43,829 --> 00:42:45,597
the color of his hair.
693
00:42:45,664 --> 00:42:50,568
Books he read, sports he liked.
694
00:42:50,636 --> 00:42:52,237
Blue.
695
00:42:52,303 --> 00:42:55,240
Like his mother's.
696
00:42:55,306 --> 00:43:00,211
Blue like sea water.
697
00:43:00,278 --> 00:43:07,352
And his hair was
the color of corn silk.
698
00:43:07,418 --> 00:43:09,755
And he was a good runner.
699
00:43:09,821 --> 00:43:14,626
Fast on his feet.
700
00:43:14,693 --> 00:43:18,797
That way from the beginning.
701
00:43:18,864 --> 00:43:23,268
His mother always running
to keep up with him.
702
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:26,604
Full of mischief.
703
00:43:26,672 --> 00:43:29,875
Never bad, you know
704
00:43:29,941 --> 00:43:33,378
just getting into
things the way kids do.
705
00:43:33,444 --> 00:43:36,948
I remember, one time...
706
00:43:37,015 --> 00:43:40,318
we bought him a pair of rubber
boots when he was five.
707
00:43:40,385 --> 00:43:43,822
He used to like
to break the crust...
708
00:43:43,889 --> 00:43:49,094
on a frozen puddle of water.
709
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,096
One day...
710
00:43:51,162 --> 00:43:54,032
he picked up a chunk of ice...
711
00:43:54,099 --> 00:43:56,702
and held it in
front of his face.
712
00:43:56,768 --> 00:43:59,938
It was like looking
at him through water.
713
00:44:05,476 --> 00:44:08,279
It gave me a chill...
714
00:44:08,346 --> 00:44:11,116
seeing his face
through that ice.
715
00:44:16,021 --> 00:44:19,858
In high school, his
track coach was always...
716
00:44:19,925 --> 00:44:22,728
trying to get him to
come out for the team...
717
00:44:22,794 --> 00:44:26,297
on account of he was
such a good runner.
718
00:44:26,364 --> 00:44:29,667
He wouldn't do it.
719
00:44:29,735 --> 00:44:32,003
He wanted to be home with us.
720
00:44:37,743 --> 00:44:40,712
Once I took him down...
721
00:44:40,779 --> 00:44:46,885
to see a battleship in Norfolk.
722
00:44:46,952 --> 00:44:50,455
And when he was old enough...
723
00:44:50,521 --> 00:44:55,526
he went back to the sea.
724
00:44:55,593 --> 00:45:00,131
We took him up there in the car.
725
00:45:00,198 --> 00:45:03,401
"Coming home car" he called it.
726
00:45:12,477 --> 00:45:18,283
We showered so much
love on that boy.
727
00:45:18,349 --> 00:45:20,485
He was all we had.
728
00:45:26,324 --> 00:45:31,162
God, now he's gone.
729
00:45:31,229 --> 00:45:33,364
And he's never
coming home again.
730
00:46:31,890 --> 00:46:36,727
Martha, I need you home.
731
00:46:36,794 --> 00:46:39,564
It hasn't been a home, Hyder.
732
00:46:47,172 --> 00:46:50,909
Maybe now it can be one.
733
00:46:59,650 --> 00:47:01,953
Alright.
734
00:47:07,192 --> 00:47:11,129
-I'll drive you.
-Thank you, Mrs. Walton.
735
00:47:11,196 --> 00:47:13,164
Goodbye.
736
00:47:29,981 --> 00:47:33,251
Mama, Daddy, John-Boy,
look at us!
737
00:47:33,318 --> 00:47:35,921
What a good job.
738
00:47:35,987 --> 00:47:39,390
Look at that.
739
00:47:39,457 --> 00:47:42,360
Children, can Grandma have the
first ride in the rumble seat?
740
00:47:42,427 --> 00:47:45,196
-But you promised.
-But I promised her, too.
741
00:47:45,263 --> 00:47:47,232
Would it be okay
if you went second?
742
00:47:47,298 --> 00:47:49,800
I know we can all
sit in the rumble seat
743
00:47:49,867 --> 00:47:51,836
if Elizabeth don't
mind sitting on my lap.
744
00:47:51,903 --> 00:47:53,838
-Sure.
-Okay, let's go.
745
00:47:53,905 --> 00:47:55,840
Don't step on me.
746
00:47:55,907 --> 00:47:57,976
Don't sit on me, either.
747
00:47:58,043 --> 00:48:01,679
-Take it easy.
-Go on, be a girl again.
748
00:48:01,746 --> 00:48:05,750
It's time to go.
749
00:48:05,816 --> 00:48:07,685
Everybody on?
750
00:48:07,752 --> 00:48:11,022
The Rudges remained hidden
people to a certain extent.
751
00:48:11,089 --> 00:48:12,657
Rarely involving themselves
752
00:48:12,723 --> 00:48:15,393
in our lives or that
of the community.
753
00:48:15,460 --> 00:48:17,595
Perhaps they just
didn't need us.
754
00:48:17,662 --> 00:48:19,965
That, without
the false dream, they were
755
00:48:20,031 --> 00:48:22,300
finally able to find
contentment...
756
00:48:22,367 --> 00:48:27,305
in their lives together.
757
00:48:27,372 --> 00:48:29,274
I'm getting to be
a pretty good driver.
758
00:48:29,340 --> 00:48:31,109
You're supposed
to watch the road.
759
00:48:31,176 --> 00:48:34,112
Not look around to see
if G.W. Haines is watching you.
760
00:48:34,179 --> 00:48:36,414
He sure did look
surprised when I drove by.
761
00:48:36,481 --> 00:48:39,117
Can't blame him.
You headed straight for him.
762
00:48:39,184 --> 00:48:41,619
Can I drive it again
tomorrow? Alone?
763
00:48:41,686 --> 00:48:44,455
You can't drive it alone
till after I graduate.
764
00:48:44,522 --> 00:48:47,725
-But that's four years from now.
-I know. Goodnight, Mary Ellen.
765
00:48:47,792 --> 00:48:52,263
-That's not fair.
-I know. Goodnight, Mary Ellen.
766
00:48:52,330 --> 00:48:55,366
Goodnight, Mama.
Goodnight, Daddy.
767
00:48:55,433 --> 00:48:58,136
-Goodnight, Mary Ellen.
-Goodnight.
768
00:48:58,186 --> 00:49:02,736
