What do you think you're doing?

Packing.

And going where?

Anywhere but here, Hank.

Who said you could go?

I did, remember?

I tore up my contract. You can arrest me, jail me, whatever.

I'm leaving.

So, am I ever going to see you again?

I suspect from time to time we do live in the same town.

What are you doing with this stuff?

See, I'm leaving.

Don't take it.

I gave you this.

I want it.

You come all the way from Paris, France. It cost me ten dollars. You keep it.

If I live to be 90, I will not put this on and you can't make me. You can't make

me do nothing.

Not ever again.

I'll tell you what.

I'll bet you just leave it all.

It all belongs to me anyhow.

Everything under this roof does.

How'd it go?

Oh, don't matter. Though, he didn't hurt you, did he? No.

Where are your things?

He wouldn't let me take them.

But they're yours. You have a right to them.

Hank don't care about rank.

Hank?

Myra needs her things.

She does, does she?

Yes, I'm keeping them as if they must do anything.

Arrest me.

Or maybe you have to still wire a marshal and arrest her for tearing up a

contract. I won't send it.

Hank, I know you're upset about Myra leaving.

But keeping her belongings is immature.

Why don't you just be a man about it?

You're right, Michaela.

I don't know how I could have been so immature.

I'll go get her.

All yours.

No, don't.

Leave it all.

Leave it.

Leave it all.

Myra?

I'm going to give you all new things.

I'm going to give you a whole new life.

What should I do with these?

Just set them down for now.

Thank you, Matthew.

I can't believe Horace bought me all these things.

What? We've got a whole new life now.

I really appreciate you letting us stay here, Dr. Mike.

Horace offered, but I... Well, I prefer not to until we're properly married.

I think that's wise.

I really want to start over.

Do it right this time.

I just want people to see me different.

I understand.

Aren't you going to try one of these on?

Yes, I should.

I think it would be a good first step to starting over.

And what do you think?

Come see for yourself.

That ain't me.

It is.

Oh, that girl, she's gone.

No.

Look.

She's here.

She's right here.

Doc, Mike, Colleen, Brian.

How's Myra?

I think it may take her some time to adjust, but she's getting settled.

That's good.

Anything wrong?

If I tell you, promise not to say anything?

Of course.

I ordered a diamond ring, but it hasn't come. I wanted it to be here in time for

the engagement party.

Well, I'm sure it'll be here on the next stage.

But another package comes.

For Brian.

All the way from Boston.

Must be from your grandmother.

What is this?

I don't know. Some kind of tube.

It's a telescope.

I've seen pictures of them in the catalogs. You use them to look at the

the moon and the stars.

It is from Grandma.

She says she read in the almanac there's going to be an eclipse this month.

There's a book here, too.

From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne.

Is there anything for me?

Nope, all mine.

I'm just so happy about Horace and Myra.

Me, too.

They love each other so much, and they waited a long time to be together.

Looks like there's nothing standing in their way now, is there?

No, there certainly isn't.

You should have seen Horace's face when the engagement ring he ordered didn't

arrive. We're already engaged. Everybody knows that.

Yes, but the ring makes it official.

Rings shouldn't matter, not as long as they love each other.

But it does matter, Sully. It's a symbol.

A man's got to work for the woman he loves every day.

He's got to show her his actions.

You're right, of course, but when he kneels before her and...

Asked for her hand.

There's just something magical about it.

Magic is what she wants.

She wants it all.

Does she?

Oh, she wants the proper church wedding.

She wants to wear the white dress.

March down the aisle.

She wants to cut the wedding cake.

Throw the bouquet.

A woman wouldn't...

Sully, Myra has never been accepted

in our church.

And tomorrow, she's going on heart and arm.

I'd like you to go on mine.

Let's have a toast.

As mayor of this town, I'd like to be the first to congratulate Horace and

on their official engagement.

Horace and Myra.

Thank you all for coming.

It means a lot to Myra and me, and we want to invite all of you to the

Have you set the date yet?

We're waiting for Horace's kin to answer, but if they can make it, we're

last Sunday of the month.

I'll be sure to put it on my calendar, assuming I'm invited.

Matter of fact, you ain't, Hank. What kind of gratitude is that, Horace?

It's the least you could do after stealing what was mine.

She never was yours, Hank.

She was mine plenty of times.

That's uncalled for.

It's the liquor talking.

You ought to know, Jake.

Go home.

You're making a fool of yourself, friend.

You ain't no friend of mine. You're just a worthless drunk.

We've had just about enough for you, Hank. You ain't had any, old man. That's

your problem. I won't have that kind of talk in here, Hank. Now get out.

Not till I give the bride her wedding present.

You really think I'd let you go through with that?

Mother can away, Hank.

Get on your knees.

Now!

Are you crazy?

Think about what you're doing, Hank. Probably could get hurt.

Something you need before you get married, Myra.

You need someone to give you away.

Everybody.

Try not to move, you're hurt.

Get your hands off me.

She's trying to help you, Hank.

What for?

What for?

Because you made a jackass of yourself at Myra's engagement party.

Why, Sully here had to knock you out, keep you from shooting her.

I was just trying to knock the gun out of your hand, Hank. I said later with

you, you sorry engine lover.

I have no way to speak to people who are trying to help you. I don't need help.

I don't need nothing. All I need is you.

Where's my gun?

I got it.

I'm keeping it, Hank.

I'm mayor of this town, and I don't want you to have it for a few days until you

cool down.

Cool down.

Not to mention an apologies note.

Someone's going to be sorry, all right? It ain't going to be me.

What are you looking at?

Man in the moon.

There's no man in the moon.

There will be someday.

What are you talking about?

It says on that book Grandma sent.

It says there's some men in Baltimore who used to make cannons for the war.

So they started a club and they worked on this really, really big cannon.

And they took a cannonball and they scooped it out so it was just a shell.

And they put three men inside of it.

And they fired it off with so much gunpowder that it shot all the way to

moon.

Are you crazy?

I read it.

Just because it's in a book don't make it true.

Even if they did get to the moon, how would they get back?

It says they shot the cannon from the beach in Florida.

That way they could drop back down into the ocean.

You'd have to be stupid to believe something as ridiculous as that.

I'm not stupid. Use your brain.

People can't go to the moon, Brian.

I wanted to look in on you.

And I thought you wanted a drink.

No.

Of course not.

The almighty doctor would never do something so low as having a little pop.

How much alcohol have you had tonight?

Not a drop.

Is that the truth?

Wouldn't lie to you.

Well, the speech is heard, and if you haven't had anything to drink, you could

have had a concussion. You need to examine it.

You need more than that, Michaela.

Hank, let me help you. You're the reason I lost her.

What are you talking about?

You're the reason Myra left me.

She was happy for you, coming, talking your big ideas, fooling your head for

your Boston ways.

You turned Myra against me.

Myra left you because she loved Horace.

I'm sorry you can't do to be able to accept... What do you know about love,

Michaela? You never vivid a man!

Take your own.

You're the one dead inside.

You're the one can't let herself feel.

Can you, Michaela?

Don't call me Michaela.

I don't take permission to use my first name. Permission?

The very way you say it, Michaela. Yeah? Keep going.

I think you're one of the most rude, thoughtless, insensitive men that I've

met.

You're selfish and mean.

And you aren't happy that you can't stand for anyone else to be.

You've done nothing but give me trouble since I first arrived here, and I'll

never forgive you for today.

You almost killed Myra.

And you could have killed a lot of innocent people, including my children.

You want to know how I feel?

I'll tell you.

I wouldn't care if I ever saw your face again.

Congratulations.

No, yeah Hello

Myra

Where'd you get that bought it you bought a gun

why

You know why.

I can't believe my eyes.

I mean to protect you.

Not with that.

And how?

Or would you rather I just stand there like before? Is that the kind of man you

want?

You were the kind of man I wanted long before you strapped a pistol on your

It's still me, Myra.

No, it ain't.

The horrors I love is gentle and kind of wouldn't hurt a flea.

I love you because you're different than hate.

Myra, what if it happens again?

But it won't. We don't know that.

He wasn't going to shoot me.

He was just drunk.

I can't believe you're taking up for him.

I am just trying to talk some sense into you. Myra, that man tried to kill you

right in front of my eyes. If you think I'm going to let him touch you again, I

swear, if he does, I'll kill him.

We'd all be better off if he was dead.

You take that back, Horace.

That's a terrible thing to say about anybody. You take it back. I will not.

But you don't mean it. I do. I wish he was dead.

I'll move into the clinic.

Give me a hand here.

Let me treat him. I could have prevented this.

You know how stubborn Hank is.

This time it's going to cost him.

What's the matter with him?

There's a skull fracture here.

The blow has caused a compression.

Myra!

Are you all right?

I heard there was trouble.

It ain't me. It's Hank.

He's going to have to operate to relieve the pressure on his brain.

It's his only chance.

Come on, honey.

I can't.

There's nothing you can do here, Mother.

I've got to stay with him. I want to make sure he falls through. I wish you'd

come on outside.

Horace, please.

I'm staying.

What do we do now?

We wait.

How long before he wakes up?

Meyer, it's very kind of you to care about Hank.

Especially after all he did to you.

But it's puzzling to me.

Me and Hank have known each other a lot of years.

In his way of thinking, he was doing good by me.

I remember the first time he smiled and...

Told me I was beautiful.

It's the first time I ever felt I was.

He told me of his dreams of coming out here and making a new life, and he

brought me with him.

I figured out later it wasn't the life I wanted, but it got me here.

Tell him before he wakes up.

Myra, I always try to be optimistic.

This time I feel compelled to say there's a possibility that he won't.

What are you doing here?

We're doing what we always do.

But Hank isn't here.

So?

Well, I don't think he'd appreciate coming back to this.

He ain't coming back?

You know that better than anybody.

Perhaps not.

But right now, I think this is inappropriate.

That's what's got you riled up.

Manners, not Hank.

Face it, Dr.

Mike. You don't care about him. You never did.

You still out here?

Yep.

Maybe I could take a look.

It looks like a big white ball of cheese to me.

Well, maybe you ain't got no imagination.

Because I don't believe in silly stories about things that can't possibly be

true? Just go back inside. I'm not done looking. You are now. You're being

selfish. Girl, send it to me.

Ryan, what are you two yelling about? You're supposed to share. I don't want

share. Ryan. Ian.

What's going on here? He won't let me look.

It's mine. I'm looking through it. Ryan, you feel like a look. Ryan.

It's mine.

Now no one can look.

How is he?

No change.

So he's no worse.

Myra, it's important that you not get your hopes up.

You can make him well, Dr. Mike. If anyone can do it, you can.

Well, I can try to keep his fever down.

And if pneumonia develops, I can drain his lungs.

I don't know what you mean.

Sometimes I think you've got to just want it to get well. You've got to want

so hard that he can feel it.

Myra, he can't feel anything.

What if he can?

I have a lot of work to do.

I'll be downstairs. Call me if there's any change.

Oh, hello, Dr. Mike. I was looking for Myra.

She's back.

Still?

I don't understand.

I guess I can't expect you to.

I'll never forgive him.

You shouldn't either.

I gotta do what I feel.

Everybody in town saw Hank try to kill you. Now you're at his side night and

day? You're making me look like a fool.

Sorry, you see it that way?

If you love me, you won't stay.

I can't let a man die alone.

I won't be able to live with myself.

I can't let you.

What? I am ordering you not to go.

If you tell me what to do and what not to do, you are no better than Hank.

I won't live like that again.

I've never been my own person till now.

Part of why I love you is because you let me be that Horace. I have to make my

own decisions.

And this is one of them.

If you do, then... then

it's over for us.

You want to tell me what you're so angry about?

I'm not angry. I'm just concerned.

What's concerning you?

I can't believe that Hank is lying in a coma and still he's destroying what

Horace and Myra have.

Why don't you let Horace and Myra be concerned about that?

Myra seems to be more worried about Hank than she is Horace.

I just don't understand how she can forgive him.

Sounds like you're the one that can't forgive him.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning, Reverend. You open your

Bibles. And turn to where it says God loves all his children, not just the

ones. Myra.

You said, let the person who'd never sin throw the first stone.

You all say, love your neighbors as you love yourselves.

It's what you say, but it ain't what you do.

And that's the thing about Hank.

He ain't no hypocrite.

He says what he thinks and he means what he says.

You all say you're his friends, but you don't mean it.

Not one of you has been to see him.

You didn't even put him in your prayers.

When I first rode into town, I saw this church steeple rising so high.

I thought it was the tallest, most beautiful building I'd ever seen.

Last Sunday, when I was here for the very first time, I felt so tall and so

proud like I belonged.

But I don't want to belong to a church where you let a man lay dying while you

sit here reading your Bible.

We opened the saloon the other night. We had a few drinks.

On the house.

But the thing is, it wasn't the same without you.

If you wake up, well, I plan to replace all the whiskey we drank.

And maybe a few extra bottles.

Anyway, I'll...

That's the truth, Hank.

We both know you're not my favorite person.

And, uh... I can't for the life of me figure out why I'm here, except... But

there is a saying, the devil you know

is better than the devil you don't know.

Well, Hank, you're the devil we know.

And I believe I speak for the rest of the town when I say,

I hope you come back to us.

We're all very quiet.

Isn't the eclipse tonight?

And now we don't have a telescope to watch it with. Thanks to her. If he

have shared it, it wouldn't have broken in the first place.

Why do I have to share it with her when Grandma sent it to me? Because I'm your

sister.

I wish I didn't even have a sister. And I wish I didn't have a little brother.

Stop it!

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice like that. It's just...

Come here and sit down.

Not there, next to each other.

You can't say things like that.

I mean, what if it really happens?

What if you didn't have a sister or a little brother?

Sometimes we think we're mad about one thing when we're really mad about

something else.

It hurt my feelings that Grandma didn't send me anything.

That's not my fault.

And what is it that you're really angry about, Brian?

She thinks I'm stupid.

He was talking crazy.

Said folks shot a cannonball to the moon with three men inside it. A cannonball

to the moon?

That's what I read.

Brian, that book's a fiction. That means that someone imagined it.

That don't mean it can't happen.

Silly.

That does sound impossible.

Everything sounds that way until it happens.

Then people don't think it sounds so crazy anymore.

I just don't want her calling me stupid.

And I don't want him. First of all, it's not him and her. People around here

have names, and we're going to use them.

Now, Brian, I want you to tell Colleen that you're sorry that her feelings were

hurt.

Colleen, I'm sorry you got your feelings hurt.

Colleen, I want you to tell Brian that you're sorry you called him stupid.

Brian, I'm sorry I called you stupid.

You two were born under the same roof.

You've cried and laughed together.

You've lost a father and a mother together.

And you started over together.

Someday you'll move away and have separate lives.

But you'll always be brother and sister.

Your family. And when everything else goes away, it's all you have.

Someday you'll realize how important that is.

I want you to give each other a hug.

And then we'll go out and see the eclipse.

Ryan, wait up. Hey, Colleen, you can see it better from up here.

I tried to help Hank.

I did everything in my power to help him medically.

I fulfilled my requirement from the doctor.

Shadow falls over the moon, and it looks dark.

But the light's there. It's just behind it.

It's not gone. It's just covered up for a while.

You've got that light.

I've seen it.

Trust that it's there.

Morning, Horace. My medicine's arrived?

I haven't checked the shipment yet. You can take a look.

Here it is.

What's this?

This looks suspiciously like a certain item you were expecting.

I won't be needing it.

What?

The engagement's off.

That can't be.

I gave her a choice.

She chose Hank.

Horace, you know she loves you.

It just isn't in Myra's heart to hate anyone or hold anger toward them.

It's part of why you love her.

I suppose you're right about that.

Why don't you give it another chance?

I want to, but I don't know how.

Of course you do.

Just give her that ring and speak from your heart.

Dr. Mike, would you mind if I practiced on you?

Oh.

All right, I suppose so.

What's the best way to do this?

Well, I believe the appropriate thing is on one knee.

Take your time.

Myra, I spent the last 30 years by myself, but I didn't mind it none,

because I believe the right woman was out there.

I may not be the richest man in town, or handsomest, But if

you marry me, I'll spend every moment making you happy.

You all right, Dr. Mike?

Did I say something wrong?

No, Horace.

You said everything exactly right.

Just one more thing, Dr. Mike.

What? There's something I gotta do or I'll never have a future with a woman I

love.

Horace, what are you doing?

Horace, don't!

Horace! Don't try to stop me. I gotta do this.

I wanted you dead.

The truth is, I don't.

I'm going to marry Myra.

We're going to have a good life.

But that don't mean you can't have one, too.

I hope you get better.

I hope you come to your senses.

Hope you find something that can make you happy

Did you finish your book?

Yeah.

What happened at the end?

We got to the moon.

Why do you look so sad?

Because they couldn't land.

Why not?

The book says it's because they got caught in the gravity.

They kept circling around.

That's as close as they could get.

It's quite amazing to get that far, I suppose.

But to get all that way there and not land.

What if there is a man on the moon?

What if there is?

What if he's lonely and waiting all this time for us to get there?

And then we couldn't reach him?

What if it's that cannonball with the people and it just circles and circles?

And he can see them circling.

What if he knows that they're out there, and then they can't reach him?

I think that would be very sad.

Do you think folks will ever go to the moon?

I think, Brian, that anything is possible.

I've been thinking about what you said.

You're right.

Something inside me, it's rotten.

Not that I don't feel things.

I do.

I feel love.

I feel pain. I feel passion.

I feel all these things inside of me.

It's whirling around, sometimes so... so powerfully that... that it

frightens me.

Especially when it comes to men.

I don't know what I'm afraid will happen if I let my feelings out. I suppose I

think that I'll seem... silly, weak.

But maybe he won't hear me.

Worse yet, he'll hear me and he won't respond and I'll just be left there

standing.

You're not afraid of that, are you?

You know how to reach out to rent looking like a fool. Maybe someone will

respond in kind.

okay okay
