All language subtitles for Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman S03e27 Ready or Not

The Reverend's waiting.

Got to do this now?

Yes.

Wait.

Sure.

Have you talked about whether you want a
large or small wedding?

Small. Just people we know well.

So how many people would that be?

Two hundred. Forty?

I don't even know two hundred people.

Well, if you count people in town and
their families, that comes to more than

forty. Well, not 200.

We'll make a list and let you know.

Good.

Because if it is 200, you might want to
have the ceremony outdoors.

What about the meadow?

That suits me.

Good.

Sit down.

Before I marry people, I find it's
important to have meetings where we talk

about things.

Well, what things?

About the marriage.

About what you might expect and what
problems might come up.

Well, we're not anticipating any
problems.

Of course not, and nobody does. But from
what I've observed, the first year is

often the hardest.

It is a big adjustment.

And sometimes a little frank talk
beforehand can smooth the way.

Well, that ain't going to be necessary.

We've come to know each other very well,
Reverend, and I think we've already

talked about... About everything.

And that'll give you a very strong
footing.

But it's also important to look into
your hearts to see if there's any...

Any injuries or any grievances that you
might be holding on to and to forgive

one another well, there's nothing to
forgive No

Why don't you take a moment and really
take stock you

can't hurt

Reverend, I've considered what you've
said, and I can't think of anything that

needs forgiving.

Me neither.

All right, then let's talk about what
you admire in each other.

What brought you together?

Sully, what made you first fall in love
with Michaela?

It happened the first time I saw her.

Michaela, do you remember what you first
thought of Sully?

He fell in love with me right off.

I did not.

I didn't know what to make of you.

It's time to go get that horse, Doc.
What horse? The one you've got to make

rounds on before you meet your patients.

Morning, gentlemen.

You took

it down.

No.

I'm answering it.

Well, you were helpful, but you made me
feel so clumsy.

You were clumsy.

going to survive, you better learn to
make it on your own.

You didn't think I'd survive.

Sure I did. Or I'd never left you alone
out there.

I figured you were willing to try
anything, no matter how foolish.

Foolish?

Well, you know how you are.

Well, what if I'd done what was foolish?

I did neatly turned pea thighs.

use a broom before?

Did I ever use a broom?

It's like a horse, isn't it?

We have servants.

Keep trying, Ma.

Who in here got the cow?

Over here.

Go for this one. Right over here.

Like this?

Better.

Give me a bandana.

Good idea.

Keep your hands in your pockets so they
don't see how small they are.

We're about to void.

Don't talk. And don't smell.

Maybe you can trot tobacco.

Couldn't stand that.

I got some licorice. You could chew
that.

You have big water in your cheek.

You call

that

foolish?

I call it resourceful.

That's true.

She had to dress up like a man to ride
her horse in the race.

Oh, you said I'd never win.

I said it was too dangerous.

You've often doubted my abilities.

No, I haven't.

Remember when we needed to get water
samples to see if the mining company was

polluting our stream?

You said I'd slow you down.

And you did.

Oh, that's not quite the way I remember
it.

Why didn't you wake me?

You said we'd leave at sunup.

You could at least have given me a
warning.

I just did.

Better hurry up and pack up all that
junk.

It's not junk.

At least don't be using that fancy soap,
because if I can smell it, everybody

else can too.

Handy little piece of junk, huh?

But then you broke your wrist.

Remember? Yeah.

Wrist hurt?

Don't like.

Best give it a rest.

Thank you, but I don't need you to wait
on me.

There's no shame in letting people help
you.

I just wanted to show you that I could
do whatever you could.

Now look at me. I'm almost helpless.

Why don't you quit trying so hard?

Keep your eyes shut.

Can you do it with the buttons?

I remember when the two of you came back
to town.

You looked different.

Something had changed.

Well, I think that's true.

After Sully's initial protest, I think
we worked well together.

We, uh, got the problem fixed.

And I think you knew then that this was
more than just a friendship.

Yep.

Well, we still hadn't kissed yet.

Of course we did.

No, we hadn't.

Don't you remember when we first kissed?

It was my birthday.

Nice sign.

Thank you.

Sully?

What, can't a man get dressed up for a
special occasion?

You're looking very handsome.

Thank you.

I brought you something.

Oh.

It's beautiful.

Did you make this?

It's for your doctor. It was a place for
your instruments and your pills and

things.

I thought that meant something.

It was a kiss.

In Boston, after such a kiss in public,
the family assume you're going to get

engaged. The night I kissed you, I know
it was your birthday and all, but... I

meant it.

I know.

And it was the nicest gift that I got.

That's all it has to be, a birthday
gift.

If things were different, we weren't so
different.

It's not ready yet.

Neither am I, Billy.

Well, I never understood that.

Why did you draw away? Was it because we
were different?

You said it. You weren't ready either.

Well, I was embarrassed, and I didn't
want to see him forward.

But I was disappointed.

You looked all right.

You were smiling.

I have to be at school in a short while.

Well, you should have known that I
wasn't all right. How was I supposed to

that? Why don't we talk about this at
our next meeting?

I don't think we need to talk anymore.

Well, I think we do.

How about Wednesday at nine?

When can we talk?

Fine.

In our last visit, we talked about a
misunderstanding you had.

It was no misunderstanding.

It wasn't clear to me.

I know I loved you, but I just couldn't
see it leading to anything.

You mean how we could make a life
together?

You certainly came from different
worlds.

That was plain in Boston.

in there?

Sully. Sorry, ma 'am. Sully?

Oh, not Sully.

I mean no disrespect, Mrs. Quinn. I also
mean no disrespect, Mr. Sully.

This isn't about you or me.

It may be my birthday, but I couldn't
care less what you wear to my party at

night.

Michaela is the one I'm concerned about.

And difficult enough for her to face the
people she's known all her life.

Even her own family with her decision to
move west.

What's that got to do with it? She
shouldn't have to defend your

But you adjusted very well.

I could never understand how much she
loved him.

And she wondered whether he might really
be the true love of her life.

Now she's resisting her feelings of
love.

Trying to convince herself that in order
to be free, she must be alone.

Well, I was glad to get home, though.
Show you my world.

This is where you live?

This is one of the places.

Right here?

Yeah. I like being able to see the
stars.

We got a place to get out of the rain.

If there were any.

Come on. Let's go over here.

I always wanted to build a house here.

It's awfully far from town.

Yep.

But I couldn't live this far away from
my patients.

But you said you couldn't live at the
homestead because I'd build it for

Abigail. True, but I think we're jumping
ahead a little.

Oh, are we?

Didn't you and David used to talk about
where he wanted to live?

No.

Well, we knew we wanted to live in
Boston.

So what did you do when you was
courting?

Came to my home for supper.

We went on rounds in the hospital.

Talked about our cases.

What?

Sounds like you had a lot in common.

More than we do?

Many ways.

I don't know.

Think we have enough in common?

Help you.

Sometimes differences can be helpful.

You bring different talents to the
marriage and you can learn from each

But it ain't always that way.

What do you mean?

Like when you tried to teach me to
dance.

One.

Two. Start with your left foot.

Be patient. I've never done this before.

I am being patient. You have to start
with your left foot.

Take it easy.

It's just a dance. I know, but you have
to concentrate.

What is so important about dancing
anyway?

Something people enjoy.

I don't. But you could.

I told you, I'm no good at it.

But you haven't tried.

I've taught Brian, for heaven's sake.
I'm not Brian.

And folks don't change.

Well, they do if they want to. Clearly,
you don't.

Look, I won't try to change you.

And you don't try to change me.

How's that?

Not acceptable.

Well, that's all I have to say.

I still disagree. People can change if
they want to. But you can't force them

to. You're leaving?

That's not the answer, Hank. Listen, I
hear the Indians have got a hidden

spring. How do we go out there and get
some of their water? No, there is no

hidden spring.

Then where did they get those crops
from? From the land. They tried to show

Let him speak.

They have been here for generations.
There have been droughts before. How do

think they made it this long? They're
savages.

Look, if you can live off that stuff
they eat, go ahead and do it. You go

with them. Yeah, you want them anyway.

I told you they wouldn't listen.

Wait, please. We can find a way through
this.

If we help each other, like the early
settlers who stuck together in times of

trouble, they survive.

Just let them go.

But they're good people. They've got to
understand.

You've tried to reason with them twice
now.

The Cheyenne tried to help them, and
they turned their backs on them. So

your answer?

To walk away?

You cannot fix everything. You think you
can just tell people, this is what

you've got to do, and they will, but
they won't.

You can't change some things and you
can't change some people.

Well, I don't believe that.

Well, it's just another thing we don't
agree on.

Maybe we don't have enough in common.

But there's a lot of things that you do
agree on, aren't there?

Sure. Well, we agree about what's right
and fair and how we want to live and

raise our children.

And where you'll live.

We ain't sure about that.

But you're building a new homestead.

That's right.

Everything was all right until we
learned the train was coming.

So we're supposed to move where?

Someplace where there is no railroad?

Starters. Well, what happens when it
comes there, too?

Do we just keep moving while the
railroad chases us? No, we stay here and

stop it.

We got to defend our way of life.

You can't defend yourself against
progress.

You sound like a politician.

Well, what is it you want me to say?

I want you to care about what I think.
And respect the way I want to raise this

family, but I'm going to be part of it.

Stop it.

Stop fighting. I hate the team.

I don't care if it comes to town. Just
stop fighting, please.

I felt terrible that we fought in front
of the children.

They thought we were calling off the
wedding.

But they saw you make up.

Yeah. Well, that's what's important.

All couples have disagreements, but the
key is how you handle them.

The two most common problems are
money... Oh, we've talked about that.

the second one?

Well, conjugal duties.

You know, one person may not feel in the
mood, and the other person may feel

hurt or neglected.

We know about that.

We do?

Well, when we first started courting, we
had different notions.

Come on.

It's really simple.

Sully. What?

This doesn't come to hell.

It comes with Corton.

But I'm trying to show you something.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing.

It's just we don't have much time left.

Please try.

Oh, we're courting.

That's what's to keep secret.

Is that what you think courting means?

What do you think it means?

It's a time when you talk.

Talk?

Is that all?

Well... I thought it was courting and
sparking.

When we first started courting, we had
different notions.

Seems like lots of times you had other
things on your mind.

I enjoy conversation.

And it is one of the great pleasures.

I read a German philosopher who said
that marriage is like an endless

conversation over the breakfast table.

So you want to make sure to enjoy each
other's company.

I like talking, and I like having
breakfast with you. I also like kissing.

Well, this should be a balance.

You're good at kissing.

No, it's natural to want to show
affection.

You don't have to be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

We love each other. We're getting
married.

I know that, but it's simply an
appropriate place and time.

I guess I always feel like it's the
right time.

Well, some folks have different ways of
showing affection.

Perhaps you prefer another woman.

What? Well, you have thought about other
women.

What are you getting at? You're the only
one I want. No, hold on. This is a very

emotional subject, as I told you, so why
don't we compose ourselves and we can

talk more about this at a later time.
What good will that do?

Seems like we're only picking at old
sores, making them bleed.

They wouldn't bleed if they had healed
properly.

And that's why we're talking, to make
sure that everything from the past is

healed.

Good day, Reverend.

I'll take you home.

If you don't mind, I'd like to ride home
by myself.

What about supper?

I'd like some time to be alone.

Beautiful day, isn't it?

I took a lovely walk this morning.

How are you doing?

Well, thanks.

All right.

Well, today I'd like to talk about
trust, which is really the cornerstone

marriage.

When you marry, you take a vow to love
and honor each other, forsaking all

others, and yet other people will cross
your paths.

You'd know about that, wouldn't you,
Reverend?

I'm sorry.

About crossing paths.

I don't understand.

You proposed to Dr. Mike when I was
courting her.

We were not courting.

But I thought, I mean... You knew how
things were between us.

But I was trying to... It was... It was
about the orphans.

Thank you, Reverend.

Please, call me Timothy.

Timothy.

It was a wonderful day.

Yes, it was.

The children really enjoyed themselves.

You're very good with them.

I'm not as good as you.

You are awful special.

And I was thinking, these children are
so deserving.

And I find myself wishing that there was
a way that they could have a real home.

With a real family.

And I think there may be a way.

How?

Marry me.

I would be a good husband to you,
Michaela.

I would take care of your children and
these children, too.

I don't know what to say.

Then don't say anything.

Just think about it.

I'm sorry.

I guess I lost my senses momentarily.

But I never meant to forget it.

You're not the only man that proposed to
her.

You were splendid.

I'm so proud of you.

My father died.

I haven't had anyone believe in me the
way you do.

Except Sully.

Do you love him?

Have they asked for your hand?

William, really? Because I love you and
I am asking for your hand.

Oh, William.

But I have a whole life waiting for me
in Colorado.

You have a whole life waiting for you
here in Boston.

We could be partners in every sense of
the word, in work, in love.

Partners till you love me.

There were moments when I thought it.

Moments I was sure of it.

The moments when I wasn't sure of
anything at all.

I just said one.

Take all the time that you need to be
sure.

My proposal stands.

My vow is forever.

There you are. Isn't she grand?

Excuse us.

Are you going to marry him?

I beg your pardon?

No begging necessary.

Just the truth.

You obviously mean scrabble.

Just the truth.

Well, it's none of your business.

Is that right?

That's right.

That's pretty clear.

You're just leaving?

Nothing to stay for.

Without even saying goodbye?

Goodbye. Why did you even come here?

I told you.

Well, what's the real reason? What do
you care? I care.

Well, you sure didn't look like it back
there at that meeting.

I'm asking you a question.

Why did I come? Yes, why?

Because. Because?

Because I love you.

Why didn't you come with me then?

I was so shocked.

I finally told you how I felt about you.

I had the children in Boston. I hadn't
said goodbye to my family.

You picked the exact moment when I
couldn't do anything.

I never thought I'd see you again.

I thought I might be too late.

That I might have lost you.

I love you too.

Will you marry me?

I'm lucky to have you.

And I'm lucky to have you.

You were meant to be together.

True.

Doesn't feel strange or different
anymore. It just feels right.

Well, no one could come between you.
That's clear.

Not even David.

David.

David, he was my fiancé from a long time
before. I thought he was dead in the

war.

Sully.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Not at all. Would you like some supper?

Please, join us.

You've got to move.

That's Sully's seat.

Brian, it's rude.

But it is.

Don't bother. I ain't hungry.

Please, Sully, I'd like you to stay.

So would the children.

They can speak for themselves.

Sorry. There's no reason we can't be
civil. Civil?

You lied to me, Andrew. You lied to all
of us. You call that being civil?

I regret that, but I had... If you had
any honor, you would have told us who

were from the start instead of letting
us take you in like a friend while you

were prying.

I did what I thought was best. Now, I
know you're angry, but I have as much

right to be here as you, and I'm a
killer, and I... I heard enough!

Dolly, don't go.

Wait.

Take it easy,

all right?

Michaela, I told you I didn't want to
cause you more pain.

But I find that my feelings for you are
as strong as ever.

If you can tell me you have no feelings
for me now, I'll leave tomorrow.

It's all been so sudden. I need time to
think. We all need time to think.

About what?

Our engagement's off.

I didn't say that.

Yeah, you did.

Just now.

That must have been hard.

It was. Yes.

Do you think it was hard?

It's agony to be caught in the middle.

I'm sure there's pain on everyone's
side.

You were in the middle yourself.

With that Indian woman?

Indian woman? Catherine?

There was nothing.

Nothing?

What if she'd stayed?

I chose you.

Don't you hear what I'm saying?

You're going to stay mad at me forever?

Leave me alone.

Answer me.

I'm not angry at you.

You hurt me, silly.

You walked away.

Well, you said that you couldn't be with
me.

But you walked off.

What did you want me to do? Get down on
my hands and my knees? Crawl? Eat dirt?

Don't be absurd.

Why can't you let go of this?

You're the one that's not letting go.

You're the one that's getting angry.
There must have been more to this.

There's nothing there. There never was.

Wait a minute, please. I'm sure we can
resolve this and come to some

understanding.

We should never have started this. All
it's doing is stirring up trouble.

I'm sorry. I never meant to cause a
breach.

I wanted this to be a happy time.

And it will be.

No, don't worry. People often get
agitated before a wedding.

If there is a wedding.

Of course there'll be one.

What makes you so confident?

Dr. Mike, do you want this marriage to
take place?

Oh, yes, of course. But it's all been
blown completely out of proportion.

It can be put right again.

Polly's the most honest, kind, generous
person I've known.

Sully?

I want to see Ma.

She's sleeping.

What's wrong with her?

She caught the grip just like you did.

That's the rumor my real Ma died.

Don't go thinking like that.

What if Dr. Mike dies too?

She's not going to die.

Go get the horses.

When there's trouble of any sort, he's
the first one to help.

God have mercy on your sorry soul.

Let her

go!

What happened? You cut me.

I swore to myself that I was going to
look after them.

That I was going to keep us together as
a family.

Did he?

He gave his own blood to Lauren.

Even though Lauren wasn't speaking to
him.

Why are you doing this?

If it's the land... I don't care about
the land.

Please, both of you.

I need you to lie quietly.

He seems to have a special sense about
when to show up, where to find us.

I don't know how he knows when he's
needed or wanted, but he does.

When I was sick, he took care of me.

It's going to be dark soon.

I'll go then and count enough springs
and some time to bow.

I can't walk.

All right.

I'll carry you.

But you've taken care of him,

too.

Well, of course.

Has your vision been blurred?

Yeah.

Not before the pain started.

It's just a headache, right?

I think it's a severe form of headache
called amygdala.

I'm going to give you strychnine and
vegetable bitters. I don't want to

you. You could never be a bother to me.

Just leave me be.

No. Please.

Did you leave me when I was sick with
influenza?

What about the clinic?

I closed it.

Kids? I told them I might not be back
for a few days. I'm staying with you,

Sully.

You're doing real good. The hot springs
will make you feel better.

Come on, Sully.

All right, Sully, we've got to try to
move him.

You're doing just fine.

It goes both ways, Reverend.

It's not something we even think about.

I see.

But if I need him, the children need
him, he's always there.

I can count on him.

And I can count on you.

I'll be without you.

Well, Sully, when we're together, we can
do so much.

Oh, I forgot my stethoscope. Would you
get it for me, please?

But, Sully, it's going to work.

I love you.

Please.

I'm ready.

Is that much?

Take this and go over there.

I'm going to go get him. Stay here.

It saved my life.

Were you even?

Oh, there's more to it than that.

It gave me the greatest gift of all,
freedom.

How'd I do that?

Well, when I was caught in the middle
trying to decide between you and David.

Remember what you told me?

No.

There's something I've got to say to
you.

Liz, I know this is terribly hard, and I
wish... Michaela, I love you.

And I would do anything for you.

Give my life for you, you know that.

I want to marry you.

But more than that, I want you to be
happy.

So you've got to choose the person
that's going to make you happy.

The person that would be best for you.

Whatever you do, I'll be behind you.

Afraid I wasn't as generous when you
were in my position with Catherine.

You just didn't understand. I felt sorry
for her.

I knew what she had gone through.

We could speak to each other, but I
wasn't in love with her.

I know now.

There's only one person I love.

Will you forgive me?

Yeah.

Even though I didn't mean it, I know I
hurt you.

Will you forgive me for that?

Yes, completely.

So... Are we ready for the wedding?

You were right about something.

I am a little frightened.

You've been married before, but...

Better be getting on back to the school
now.

Trust me. I do.

Glad I could help you both.

The only thing we're going to be
wondering is why we didn't get married
