I'M ALMOST 16.

179
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:02,129

HEY, LOOKIT!

184
00:11:27,454 --> 00:11:29,189
THAT MUST BE
THE NEW TEACHER.

185
00:11:37,097 --> 00:11:38,832
GOOD MORNING.

186
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:43,904
SHE'S JUST A KID.

I AM MS. INGALLS.

I WILL BE
YOUR TEACHER UNTIL
MS. TRIMBLE RECOVERS.

192
00:13:04,985 --> 00:13:08,856
SHE'S GIVEN ME
A LIST OF YOUR NAMES,
ASSIGNMENTS, AND PROGRESS.

193
00:13:08,889 --> 00:13:10,523
I WILL GET TO KNOW YOU
AS I CALL ON YOU,

PLEASE RAISE
YOUR HAND.

MAY I ASK
A QUESTION?

196
00:13:15,863 --> 00:13:17,030
OF COURSE.

00:13:18,498 --> 00:13:20,567
WHY DO YOU
WANT TO KNOW?

199
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,171
WELL, BECAUSE YOU SEEM
AWFUL YOUNG AND SMALL
TO BE A TEACHER.

[LAUGHTER]

201
00:13:25,538 --> 00:13:27,507

CERTIFICATE FROM
THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.

203
00:13:31,078 --> 00:13:34,214
BESIDES, BEING BIGGER
DOESN'T NECESSARILY
MEAN YOU'RE SMARTER.

204
00:13:36,483 --> 00:13:38,618
IT DOESN'T MEAN
YOU'RE DUMBER, EITHER.

205
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:43,290
I AGREE. THE SIZE OF THE BODY
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
THE SIZE OF THE BRAIN.

I JUST KNEW IT.

224
00:14:38,946 --> 00:14:40,914
CAN I COOK SUPPER
TONIGHT TO CELEBRATE?

225
00:14:40,948 --> 00:14:43,250
IS THAT A REFLECTION
ON LAST NIGHT'S MEAL?

[LAUGHS]
NOT AT ALL.

227

Laura:
I STOPPED BY THE STORE
ON MY WAY HOME

232
00:14:55,162 --> 00:14:56,329
AND BOUGHT SOME SHOES
WITH HEELS.

233
00:14:56,363 --> 00:14:59,032
THOUGHT THEY MIGHT
MAKE ME LOOK OLDER.

234
00:15:15,282 --> 00:15:18,518
I'M GOING TO LEARN TO WALK
IN THESE DUMB SHOES
EVEN IF IT KILLS ME.

YOUR READING HAS IMPROVED
THIS WEEK, TOMMY.

240
00:15:48,381 --> 00:15:50,583
THAT WAS EXCELLENT.

241
00:15:50,617 --> 00:15:54,454
NOW, WHO WOULD LIKE
TO TAKE THE NEXT PASSAGE?

242
00:15:54,487 --> 00:15:55,622
MR. WILLIAMS.

MS. INGALLS.

244
00:15:57,190 --> 00:15:58,558
I JUST HAPPENED
TO BE PASSING
THROUGH TOWN,

245
00:15:58,591 --> 00:16:00,393
AND I THOUGHT
I'D DROP IN
FOR A FEW MINUTES

246
00:16:00,427 --> 00:16:02,262
TO SEE HOW THINGS
ARE GOING.

247
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:04,631
WELL, IS THERE
ANYTHING SPECIAL
YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR?

248
00:16:04,664 --> 00:16:08,735
WELL, I ALWAYS LIKE
MENTAL ARITHMETIC.

249
00:16:08,768 --> 00:16:10,437
HOW ABOUT POSING
A PROBLEM

00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:12,739
TO A STUDENT
IN YOUR HIGHEST
GRADE?

BY 16.

257
00:16:38,098 --> 00:16:41,301

16 INTO 112...

261
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:52,679
GOES 7 TIMES.

262
00:16:52,712 --> 00:16:54,581
16 DOESN'T GO
INTO 6.

263
00:16:54,614 --> 00:16:57,084
BRING DOWN
NAUGHT.

264
00:16:57,117 --> 00:16:59,552
16 INTO 64...

265
00:16:59,586 --> 00:17:01,554
GOES 4 TIMES.

00:17:01,588 --> 00:17:05,358
THE ANSWER IS 21,704.

I SPEAK WITH YOU

271

CERTAINLY.

273
00:17:27,647 --> 00:17:29,116
IS ANYTHING WRONG?

274
00:17:29,149 --> 00:17:31,284
WHY, NOT AT ALL,
MS. INGALLS.

275
00:17:31,318 --> 00:17:33,553
I JUST WANTED
TO COMMEND YOU.

276

I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHEN THE BREWSTER BOY

00:18:26,806 --> 00:18:29,309
YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY
SURPRISED ME TODAY.

286
00:18:29,342 --> 00:18:31,511
WELL, I WAS ALWAYS
GOOD AT CIPHERING.
COMES EASY.

287
00:18:31,544 --> 00:18:33,846
WELL, IT'S NOT
THAT YOU DID IT
THAT SURPRISED ME.

288
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,582
IT'S THAT
YOU VOLUNTEERED.

289
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:38,551
YOU ALSO MADE ME LOOK
VERY GOOD IN FRONT
OF MR. WILLIAMS.

290
00:18:38,585 --> 00:18:40,620
WELL, YOU ARE GOOD,
MS. INGALLS.

291
00:18:40,653 --> 00:18:43,223
I WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING
TO GET YOU IN TROUBLE
WITH YOUR BOSS.

292
00:18:43,256 --> 00:18:45,292
THANK YOU, CHAD,

293
00:18:45,325 --> 00:18:47,760
BUT...IF I'M SUCH
A GOOD TEACHER,

294
00:18:47,794 --> 00:18:49,596
HOW COME I CAN'T
GET YOU TO STUDY?

295
00:18:49,629 --> 00:18:51,764
OH, IT'S NOT YOU.

296
00:18:51,798 --> 00:18:55,235
WELL, IT'S JUST THAT
I'M GOING TO BE A FARMER.
I DON'T NEED ALL THIS.

297
00:18:55,268 --> 00:18:56,769
IS THAT WHAT
YOU WANT TO BE?

298
00:18:56,803 --> 00:18:58,705
THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH FARMING.

299
00:18:58,738 --> 00:19:01,308
I KNOW.
MY PA IS A FARMER.

300
00:19:01,341 --> 00:19:03,510
I WAS JUST WONDERING
IF YOU HAD ANY
OTHER THOUGHTS.

301
00:19:05,212 --> 00:19:07,680
WELL...
MY GRANDPA WAS
THE TOWN DOCTOR.

302
00:19:07,714 --> 00:19:09,416
I'D LIKE THAT,

303
00:19:09,449 --> 00:19:11,451
BUT FOR ME,
IT'S JUST A PIPE DREAM.

304
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:13,486
YOU'VE GOT THE BRAINS

305
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,355
AND THE OPPORTUNITY
FOR SCHOOLING.

306
00:19:15,388 --> 00:19:17,357
USE THEM.

307
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:19,526
YOU CAN BECOME
ANYTHING YOU WANT.

308
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:21,894
YOU REALLY THINK SO?

309
00:19:21,928 --> 00:19:23,663
I REALLY DO.

310
00:19:23,696 --> 00:19:26,199
I'LL TRY TO BORROW SOME
OF DR. BAKER'S MEDICAL BOOKS

311
00:19:26,233 --> 00:19:28,301
FOR YOU TO START ON,
IF YOU'D LIKE.

312
00:19:28,335 --> 00:19:30,270

00:19:55,395 --> 00:19:56,729
VERY WELL,
THANK YOU.

318
00:19:56,763 --> 00:19:58,831
HERE, LET ME
HELP YOU WITH THAT.

319
00:20:07,907 --> 00:20:09,242
WHAT'S WRONG?

320
00:20:11,411 --> 00:20:12,679
NOTHING.

321
00:20:14,414 --> 00:20:15,982
NOTHING'S
WRONG.

322
00:20:18,585 --> 00:20:20,820
IT'S JUST...

323
00:20:20,853 --> 00:20:21,988
JUST?

324
00:20:24,757 --> 00:20:25,992
NOTHING.

325
00:20:54,053 --> 00:20:56,423
NOW, THERE IS TOO
SOMETHING WRONG.

326
00:20:56,456 --> 00:20:57,590
WHAT IS IT?

327
00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:02,595
YOU LOOK DIFFERENT.

328
00:21:07,634 --> 00:21:08,901
YOU LOOK OLDER.

329
00:21:12,805 --> 00:21:14,574
WELL, I AM.

330
00:21:14,607 --> 00:21:15,908
A WEEK OLDER.

331
00:21:15,942 --> 00:21:18,578
[LAUGHS]

332
00:21:18,611 --> 00:21:20,480
YEAH.

333
00:21:20,513 --> 00:21:22,014
IF WE WANT TO GET
HOME BEFORE DARK,

334
00:21:22,048 --> 00:21:23,750
WE BEST GET STARTED.

335
00:21:25,585 --> 00:21:26,786
YEAH.

336
00:21:26,819 --> 00:21:28,555
OKAY.
HUP.

337
00:22:15,067 --> 00:22:17,404
MA! MA!

338
00:22:17,437 --> 00:22:19,472
IT'S LAURA,
SHE'S BACK!

339
00:22:25,712 --> 00:22:26,879

340
00:22:26,913 --> 00:22:28,548
MS. INGALLS.

341
00:22:29,649 --> 00:22:31,684
Caroline:
WELL? HOW DID IT GO?

342
00:22:31,718 --> 00:22:33,085
PRETTY WELL,
I THINK.

343
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,487
I'VE GOT
YOUR BAGS.

344
00:22:34,521 --> 00:22:36,022
Laura: OH, THANK YOU.

345
00:22:36,055 --> 00:22:38,024
OH!

346
00:22:38,057 --> 00:22:39,859
WELL? DON'T KEEP ME
IN SUSPENSE.

347
00:22:39,892 --> 00:22:41,594
TELL ME
EVERYTHING.

348
00:22:41,628 --> 00:22:43,596
WELL, MS. TRIMBLE
IS THE NICEST LADY
YOU'VE EVER MET,

349
00:22:43,630 --> 00:22:44,897
AND FUNNY,
SHE SMOKES A PIPE.

350
00:22:44,931 --> 00:22:46,098
A PIPE?
[LAUGHTER]

351
00:22:46,132 --> 00:22:48,535
Almanzo: BETH!

352
00:22:48,568 --> 00:22:50,670
I'LL PICK YOU UP
SUNDAY AT 3:00.

353
00:22:50,703 --> 00:22:51,938
THANKS.

354
00:22:51,971 --> 00:22:54,106
MY STUDENTS ARE ALL
REALLY WONDERFUL.

355
00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:55,608
IT'S SUCH
A BIG CLASS,
THOUGH.

356
00:22:55,642 --> 00:22:57,744
I DIDN'T EXPECT
THAT MANY CHILDREN.

357
00:23:36,983 --> 00:23:39,085
IT'S NOT SO MUCH
WHAT HE SAID.

358
00:23:39,118 --> 00:23:43,790
IT'S HOW HE SAID IT,
THE WAY HE LOOKED AT ME.

359
00:23:43,823 --> 00:23:45,658
OH, I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

360
00:23:45,692 --> 00:23:46,859
[CHUCKLES]

361
00:23:46,893 --> 00:23:50,763
I KNOW, AND I
UNDERSTAND.

362
00:23:50,797 --> 00:23:52,565
I HOPE I'M RIGHT,

363
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:54,801
THAT IT'S
FINALLY HAPPENING
BETWEEN HIM AND ME.

364
00:23:54,834 --> 00:23:56,168
OH, NOW,
WAIT A MINUTE.

365
00:23:56,202 --> 00:23:58,871
I MEAN, HE'S
LOOKING AT YOU
IN A NEW WAY,

366
00:23:58,905 --> 00:24:00,707
BUT IT'S NOT EXACTLY
PROPOSING MARRIAGE.

367
00:24:00,740 --> 00:24:02,742
OH, I KNOW.

368
00:24:02,775 --> 00:24:04,677
IT'S SO EXCITING.

369
00:24:04,711 --> 00:24:05,978
LIFE IS EXCITING.

370
00:24:06,012 --> 00:24:08,214
I MEAN,
I'M A TEACHER NOW,

371
00:24:08,247 --> 00:24:10,249
AND ALMANZO SAID
I LOOKED OLDER,

372
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:12,051
AND HE DID LOOK AT ME
KIND OF MOONYLIKE.

373
00:24:12,084 --> 00:24:13,252
[LAUGHS]

374
00:24:13,285 --> 00:24:14,754
WELL, HE DID.

375
00:24:14,787 --> 00:24:16,255
I BELIEVE YOU.

376
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:18,525
BUT IT'S KIND OF
SCARY, THOUGH.

377
00:24:18,558 --> 00:24:21,594
I MEAN, NOW THAT HE IS
FINALLY NOTICING ME,

378
00:24:21,628 --> 00:24:24,096
HE'LL BE LOOKING
A LOT CLOSER,

379
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:27,099
AND I'M AFRAID I MIGHT
SAY SOMETHING WRONG, OR--

380
00:24:27,133 --> 00:24:28,835
OH, I DON'T KNOW.

381
00:24:28,868 --> 00:24:31,638
YOU JUST BE YOU,
LAURA INGALLS.

382
00:24:31,671 --> 00:24:33,506
APPARENTLY THAT'S
WHAT HE LIKED

383
00:24:33,540 --> 00:24:35,942
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

384
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:37,910
AND JUST BECAUSE
HE'S LOOKING MOONY

385
00:24:37,944 --> 00:24:40,947
DOESN'T MEAN
THAT YOU HAVE TO.

386
00:24:40,980 --> 00:24:43,950
BOYS LIKE TO PURSUE
A LITTLE BIT,

387
00:24:43,983 --> 00:24:46,686
SO, YOU JUST
LET HIM PURSUE.

388
00:24:46,719 --> 00:24:48,821
OKAY, MA.

389
00:24:48,855 --> 00:24:50,690
GOOD NIGHT, TEACHER.

390
00:24:58,197 --> 00:25:00,066
PURSUING.

391
00:25:01,968 --> 00:25:04,103
HE'S PURSUING ME.

392
00:25:06,072 --> 00:25:07,273
I HOPE.

393
00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:12,645
I'M JUST
MAKING A SNACK.
WANT A SANDWICH?

394
00:25:12,679 --> 00:25:14,113
HMM, NO, THANKS.

395
00:25:14,146 --> 00:25:16,082
I THOUGHT YOU TWO
WOULD TALK ALL NIGHT.

396
00:25:16,115 --> 00:25:18,985
OH, WELL, SHE
NEEDED A CHANCE
TO UNWIND.

397
00:25:19,018 --> 00:25:21,754
JUST ALL WOUND UP
ABOUT EVERYTHING.

398
00:25:21,788 --> 00:25:22,922
WHAT WERE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

399
00:25:24,123 --> 00:25:27,226
OH, TEACHING AND...

400
00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:28,595
THINGS.

401
00:25:31,097 --> 00:25:33,633
THINGS. YOU MEAN
ALMANZO, RIGHT?

402
00:25:33,666 --> 00:25:35,301
OH, CHARLES,
NOW--

403
00:25:35,334 --> 00:25:38,605
I KNOW, I KNOW.
I LIKE THE MAN, HE'S
A PERFECTLY NICE MAN,

404
00:25:38,638 --> 00:25:41,273
BUT I DON'T LIKE THE MAN
DRIVING MY DAUGHTER
BACK AND FORTH TO WORK.

405
00:25:41,307 --> 00:25:43,710
I MEAN, BY THE TIME
THEY GOT HOME TONIGHT,
IT WAS ALMOST DARK.

406
00:25:43,743 --> 00:25:45,244
OH, CHARLES,
IT WAS NOT.

407
00:25:45,277 --> 00:25:47,113
BUT IT COULD'VE
BEEN. HE COULD'VE
LOST A WHEEL.

408
00:25:47,146 --> 00:25:48,981
THEY COULD'VE BEEN
CAUGHT IN A STORM.
THEY--

409
00:25:49,015 --> 00:25:51,784
OH, WELL, THEY COULD'VE
BEEN ATTACKED BY
A HERD OF ELEPHANTS.

410
00:25:51,818 --> 00:25:54,020
[LAUGHS]

411
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:56,789
WELL, I THINK
YOU'D BE THANKFUL.

412
00:25:56,823 --> 00:26:00,627
WITH JONATHAN AWAY,
YOU'VE GOT TWICE YOUR
NORMAL AMOUNT OF WORK TO DO,

413
00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:03,229
IT'S YOUR
BUSIEST SEASON.

414
00:26:03,262 --> 00:26:06,298
YOU NEED
A DAY OF REST.

415
00:26:06,332 --> 00:26:09,268
AFTER ALL, YOU'RE NOT
GETTING ANY YOUNGER.

416
00:26:13,372 --> 00:26:15,141
NEITHER IS ALMANZO.

417
00:26:35,127 --> 00:26:37,964
AFTERNOON,
ALMANZO!

418
00:26:37,997 --> 00:26:39,866
GOOD AFTERNOON,
MRS. INGALLS!

419
00:26:39,899 --> 00:26:41,233
LAURA'S PACKING.

420
00:26:41,267 --> 00:26:42,969
SHE'LL BE OUT
IN A MINUTE.

421
00:26:43,002 --> 00:26:45,104
OH, NO RUSH.
I'M A LITTLE BIT
EARLY.

422
00:26:45,137 --> 00:26:47,907
OH. WOULD YOU
LIKE A COOL DRINK
WHILE YOU WAIT?

423
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:49,175
OH, NO, MA'AM.
MR. INGALLS.

424
00:26:49,208 --> 00:26:51,243
YEAH.

425
00:26:51,277 --> 00:26:54,046
YOU KNOW, THERE'S
THAT CHURCH SOCIAL NEXT
FRIDAY NIGHT AT NELLIE'S.

426
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,115
YEAH, I KNOW.
WE'RE PLANNING
ON GOING.

427
00:26:56,148 --> 00:26:58,150
ME, TOO, AND I WAS
WONDERING IF IT
WOULD BE ALL RIGHT

428
00:26:58,184 --> 00:27:00,252
IF LAURA
ACCOMPANIED ME.

429
00:27:02,021 --> 00:27:04,757
AFTER ALL, CHARLES,
IT'S A CHURCH SOCIAL.

430
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,162
HERE COMES LAURA.
YOU'LL HAVE TO ASK HER.

431
00:27:11,798 --> 00:27:14,300
HI, MANLY.
READY TO GO?

432
00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:16,302
YOUR PA SAID I SHOULD
ASK YOU IF YOU WANT
TO COME WITH ME

433
00:27:16,335 --> 00:27:18,170
TO THE CHURCH SOCIAL
THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.

434
00:27:20,006 --> 00:27:21,273
HE DID?

435
00:27:21,307 --> 00:27:24,744
I MEAN, I ASKED
HIS PERMISSION
TO ASK YOU.

436
00:27:26,312 --> 00:27:27,646
YOU DID?

437
00:27:29,348 --> 00:27:30,717
HOW ABOUT IT?

438
00:27:32,184 --> 00:27:35,755
WELL, I HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT IT, MANLY.

439
00:27:38,024 --> 00:27:39,692
OH.

440
00:27:39,726 --> 00:27:42,294
Laura:
CAN I LET YOU KNOW FRIDAY?

441
00:27:42,328 --> 00:27:43,662
SURE.

442
00:27:44,463 --> 00:27:46,833
WELL, WE BEST
BE GOING.

443
00:27:46,866 --> 00:27:48,200
BYE, MA.
I LOVE YOU.

444
00:27:48,234 --> 00:27:49,969
- MMM. BYE.
- BYE, DARLING.

445
00:27:50,002 --> 00:27:51,170
BYE, PA.

446
00:27:51,203 --> 00:27:53,172
THANKS AGAIN,
ALMANZO!

447
00:27:56,475 --> 00:27:58,310
WELL...

448
00:27:58,344 --> 00:28:01,213
AT LEAST MY DAUGHTER IS
SHOWING A LITTLE GOOD
COMMON SENSE, HUH?

449
00:28:01,247 --> 00:28:03,382
YOUR DAUGHTER?

450
00:28:03,415 --> 00:28:05,217
AND I SUPPOSE
IF SHE HAD SAID,

451
00:28:05,251 --> 00:28:08,220
"YES, ALMANZO,
I'D LOVE TO GO TO
THE CHURCH SOCIAL,"

452
00:28:08,254 --> 00:28:10,222
SHE'D HAVE BEEN
MY DAUGHTER.

453
00:28:10,256 --> 00:28:11,891
RIGHT.

454
00:28:14,961 --> 00:28:16,262
[SIGHS]

455
00:28:31,778 --> 00:28:34,947
WHAT'S TROUBLING
YOU, MANNY?

456
00:28:34,981 --> 00:28:36,382
NOTHING.

457
00:28:53,399 --> 00:28:56,435
WELL, SIT DOWN
AND HAVE YOUR TEA
WHILE IT'S STILL HOT.

458
00:29:17,556 --> 00:29:21,427
SINCE WHEN DO YOU PUT
6 TEASPOONS OF SUGAR
IN YOUR TEA?

459
00:29:26,966 --> 00:29:28,534
I WASN'T EVEN
THINKING.

460
00:29:36,442 --> 00:29:38,244
COME ON,
WHAT IS IT?

461
00:29:42,581 --> 00:29:44,550
IT'S LAURA INGALLS.

462
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:48,454
WHAT HAS SHE DONE?

463
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:53,860
NOTHING.
IT'S WHAT I'VE DONE.

464
00:29:55,327 --> 00:29:56,829
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

465
00:29:56,863 --> 00:29:59,531
I ASKED HER TO GO WITH ME
TO THE CHURCH SOCIAL.

466
00:29:59,565 --> 00:30:02,401
OH.

467
00:30:02,434 --> 00:30:05,104
WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THAT?

468
00:30:05,137 --> 00:30:07,473
WELL...

469
00:30:07,506 --> 00:30:10,076
SHE SAID SHE
WAS GOING TO
THINK ABOUT IT.

470
00:30:12,144 --> 00:30:13,846
OH.

471
00:30:15,647 --> 00:30:18,617
I'M TRYING TO BE NICE,

472
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:22,088
AND SO I ASK HER
TO GO WITH ME.

473
00:30:23,622 --> 00:30:26,458
AND SHE SAYS...

474
00:30:26,492 --> 00:30:27,927
"I'LL THINK ABOUT IT."

475
00:30:33,032 --> 00:30:35,868
I MEAN, SHE'S JUST
A KID. DON'T YOU THINK
SHE'S JUST A KID?

476
00:30:38,337 --> 00:30:39,538
NO.

477
00:30:45,644 --> 00:30:47,279
NO.

478
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:56,222
NEITHER DO I.

479
00:31:01,327 --> 00:31:02,995
GOOD NIGHT.

480
00:31:12,939 --> 00:31:14,273
GOOD NIGHT.

481
00:31:49,241 --> 00:31:51,077
OOH!

482
00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:55,381
DARN THING ITCHES
SOMETHING FIERCE.

483
00:31:55,414 --> 00:31:56,715
HOW LONG DO YOU
HAVE TO WEAR IT?

484
00:31:56,748 --> 00:31:59,986
OH, THE DOC SAYS IT CAN
COME OFF NEXT WEEK.

485
00:32:00,019 --> 00:32:01,553
I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT'S WEDNESDAY
ALREADY.

486
00:32:01,587 --> 00:32:04,690
SO, AFTER A WEEK
AND A HALF, HOW DO YOU
FEEL ABOUT TEACHING?

487
00:32:04,723 --> 00:32:08,227
GREAT. I LOVE IT,
MINNIE, MORE AND
MORE EVERY DAY.

488
00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:10,696
YEAH. TEACHING HAS
A WAY OF HOOKING YOU,
ALL RIGHT.

489
00:32:10,729 --> 00:32:13,265
SEEING THEIR EYES
LIGHT UP WHEN THEY
UNDERSTAND SOMETHING

490
00:32:13,299 --> 00:32:16,435
YOU'VE BEEN TRYING
TO POUND INTO THEIR HEAD
FOR A MONTH OF SUNDAYS.

491
00:32:16,468 --> 00:32:19,071
WELL, I SURE DON'T
HAVE TO POUND ANYTHING
INTO CHAD'S HEAD.

492
00:32:19,105 --> 00:32:20,572
I'VE GOT ANOTHER
MEDICAL BOOK
FOR HIM.

493
00:32:20,606 --> 00:32:21,573
HE DEVOURED
THE FIRST ONE.

494
00:32:21,607 --> 00:32:23,175
THIS ONE'S
ON ANATOMY.

495
00:32:23,209 --> 00:32:24,977
WELL, HOW'S HE
DOING OTHERWISE?
[CLOCK CHIMES]

496
00:32:25,011 --> 00:32:26,478
UH-OH.
GOT TO GO.

497
00:32:26,512 --> 00:32:30,416
CAN'T HAVE THE TEACHER
BEING LATE. SEE YOU!

498
00:32:30,449 --> 00:32:33,752
WHEW, LOOK AT HER GO.

499
00:32:33,785 --> 00:32:36,688
BUT SHE OUGHT TO BE ABLE
TO GO. SHE'S 16.

500
00:32:36,722 --> 00:32:39,758
OH, STOP TALKING
TO YOURSELF, OLD WOMAN.

501
00:32:39,791 --> 00:32:41,293
YOU'VE ALREADY WENT.

502
00:32:47,433 --> 00:32:49,335
- HI, MR. INGALLS.
- ALMANZO.

503
00:32:49,368 --> 00:32:50,769
I WAS JUST OVER
AT THE HOUSE.

504
00:32:50,802 --> 00:32:53,339
YOUR WIFE SAID
YOU WERE OUT HERE.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?

505
00:32:53,372 --> 00:32:55,541
FINE, IF I CAN
GET THIS ORDER
OFF TO SLAYTON,

506
00:32:55,574 --> 00:32:57,676
GET ANOTHER
RUSH ORDER OVER
TO SLEEPY EYE.

507
00:32:57,709 --> 00:33:00,012
WELL, THAT'S
WHAT MRS. INGALLS
WAS SAYING.

508
00:33:00,046 --> 00:33:02,314
SUPPOSE I MAKE
THE SLAYTON
DELIVERY FOR YOU.

509
00:33:02,348 --> 00:33:04,583
HEY, I'D REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT.

510
00:33:04,616 --> 00:33:06,618
IT WILL BE
MY PLEASURE,
MR. INGALLS.

511
00:33:06,652 --> 00:33:08,387
LISTEN, CURRIE
IS ON THE WAY.

512
00:33:08,420 --> 00:33:11,123
I THINK I'LL STOP BY
AND SAY HI TO LAURA.

513
00:33:11,157 --> 00:33:13,059
WHY DO YOU WANT
TO DO THAT?

514
00:33:13,092 --> 00:33:14,760
YOU'RE GOING TO PICK
HER UP TOMORROW,
AREN'T YOU?

515
00:33:14,793 --> 00:33:18,797
YEAH, I KNOW. I JUST
THOUGHT SHE MIGHT BE

IN OUR AGES.

THE SAME WAY, TOO.

THAT SHE WAS JUST
A NICE, YOUNG FRIEND.

DIFFERENT FOR LAURA...

JUST FRIENDSHIP.

I MADE A FOOL
OUT OF MYSELF TODAY.

566

OF HERS BECAUSE
I THOUGHT HE WAS--

MAKING ADVANCES TO LAURA.

571
00:36:21,713 --> 00:36:23,749

WANTED YOU TO KNOW
SO THAT--

COULD PICK
HER UP TOMORROW.

WANT TO BE SEEING ME,
