Well, what are you dressed for,

a wedding or a funeral?

Oh, I just thought I should look nice

the first day back to school.

That's not the reason, and you know it.

- It is too. - Mm-mm.

He's so sure that the new teacher's going to be pretty,

he's in love with her already.

That's dumb.

No dumber than wearing a tie to school.

Welcome, class.

I am miss Wilder.

It is kind of hot to wear a tie.

Oh, we're ready!

Nellie...

This...

This is for you.

Oh!

Oh.

Oh, have you ever seen a kitchen like this?

And the stove, have you ever seen such a stove?

It's a majestic.

It's a majestic stove.

Who's going to do the cooking?

What?

I said,

who's going to do the cooking?

Laura, this is my brother, almanzo.

Pleasure to meet you, Laura.

My friends call me mannie.

Pleasure to meet you,

manly.

Laura, voice-over: If I had a remembrance book,

I'd Mark down this day as very special.

Though I didn't know it at the time,

I'd just met the man I would some day marry,

almanzo Wilder.

Lord have mercy. What's this thing weigh?

About 900 pounds.

All the way up.

Charles!

How do you feel?

Like I got hit by a millstone.

How long is he going to be laid up, doc?

Well, that's hard to say,

but he's not gonna be doing any milling on this harvest.

I can guarantee you that.

Here we are! Pancakes.

Anything else, now?

From the looks of these, I could use a poker.

Oh, well, it's an old family recipe.

Crisp pancakes.

Is your family all blacksmiths?

Oh, well, if you don't want them, don't eat them.

You wait right here, grace.

These are our friends, our neighbors,

people we have as guests in our own home.

I'm not going to have you serving them

and then waiting around the table for a tip.

Somebody once said,

there's no reason to be ashamed of any job

as long as you do your best.

What idiot said that?

You.

I'd like to, Mrs. Olsen, but I just can't.

Oh, I do wish that you would change your mind, Mr. Wilder.

Accept Nellie's invitation.

She's a wonderful cook.

I'm sure she is, but I just don't have the time.

All right. All right.

If you can't come tomorrow,

how about sunday night?

Mother, we're not open sundays.

Mrs. Oleson, I do not work on sunday, and that is final.

Oh, for heaven's sake!

I promised zaldamo cinnamon chicken!

Well, I'm afraid you'll just have to make it yourself.

Well, I don't know how!

I could do it, ma.

Oh!

What a dear child.

Oh, Caroline, please let her.

Well, Laura, if you really want to.

Laura!

Laura!

She was here! I swear, Laura did the cooking!

It's all right, Nellie. I got to be going.

Oh, zaldamo!

Almanzo! Good night.

What, are you leaving already?

But it's early yet!

Zaldamo!

Mrs. Oleson: Nellie!

Nellie! Aah!

Aah!

- That's very good, Albert. - Thank you, ma'am.

Now, who would like to take the next problem?

Excuse me, miss Wilder.

Mrs. Ingalls.

I hate to interrupt the class,

but may I speak to Laura for a moment?

Certainly.

Laura.

I just found out what happened last night.

Oh... the mistake?

The mistake.

Am I to suppose that this label came off this can by mistake?

No, ma'am.

How could you do such a thing deliberately?

I'm sorry.

I'm not the one to tell.

We'll discuss your punishment later,

first, you're going to apologize to Nellie.

Yes, ma'am.

Here, Nellie. The tea will help now.

I don't want any!

Darling, please stop crying!

I can't stop. I'll never stop!

Mrs. Oleson.

Ohh!

What is that child doing here?

Laura has something to say to Nellie, Mrs. Oleson.

Laura.

I'm sorry, Nellie.

I'm sorry for what I did.

Then it was on purpose!

Yes, it was.

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk!

What a cruel thing to do.

If you were my child,

I'd have you horsewhipped, young lady,

within an inch of your life!

Laura will be appropriately punished,

Mrs. Oleson.

Ahh! Well, I should hope so,

Mrs. Ingalls.

Come on, Laura.

I'll get even with her.

You'll see.

Can I go back to school now?

No, you may not. First you have

another apology to make...

To almanzo.

Oh, no, ma. I can't.

You can, and you will.

I won't.

I won't!

Caroline: Laura!

Laura!

Albert, I think you best turn in.

Can't I stay up a little bit longer, pa?

No, it's late, and you got school tomorrow.

Your ma and I will stay up and worry about your sister,

you get yourself up to bed.

Yes, sir.

- Good night, son. - Good night, pa.

Good night, dear.

Where could she be?

She'll come home. Don't you worry.

I just don't understand.

I just wanted her to apologize.

I know, and she should have.

It's all right to worry about her,

but I don't want you feeling guilty about it.

Caroline.

Come here.

She sure ran a long way from home, didn't she?

Why don't you put some water on for tea? I'll go get her.

Well, what do you have to say for yourself, young lady?

I'm sorry.

I can't hear you.

I'm sorry.

And you should be.

I thought the one thing my little girl could face up to

would be her punishment.

I'm not afraid of being punished...

And I'm not a little girl.

Why does everybody have to keep calling me a little girl?

Hey...

Hey, come on, there's nothing to be that upset about.

Yes, there is.

Ma wanted me to march right over

to apologize to almanzo...

Like a baby.

Well, I'm not a baby anymore.

I'm a woman.

I... I know you're not a baby,

but you're hardly a woman yet, half-pint.

You see? "Half-pint."

That's a name you give to someone who's little.

I've been calling you that ever since

you were little.

But I'm not little anymore.

Almanzo doesn't call me half-pint.

Oh, almanzo, huh?

Yeah.

He calls me Beth.

It's a woman's nickname.

Oh, I see.

You never called Mary by a silly name like that.

Well, I never thought it was a silly name.

Besides, Mary's older than you are.

Not that much.

Honey, Mary is married. She's a teacher.

I'm going to be a teacher.

All right. When you're a teacher,

I'm sure everybody will treat you like an adult.

But in the meantime, you're my little girl and you live in my house,

and as long as you do, you're going to do what your ma and I tell you...

Starting with apologizing to almanzo.

Is that understood?

Yes, sir.

But let me do it alone, please.

I don't want ma with me like I'm not big enough to do it by myself.

All right. I'll talk to your ma.

Go in the house. We'll have a cup of tea.

- Pa? - Mm-hmm?

What you said about me being an adult when I'm a teacher,

did you mean that?

You bet I did.

Come on, boy.

Well, at least now we know what all the fuss was about.

Laura's in love.

What?

She's in love.

Ha ha! Oh, come on, Caroline.

She never said that.

It's as plain as the nose on your face.

Well, that's ridiculous. I mean,

how old is he? The man must be in his 20s.

She wouldn't be the first girl to fall for an older man.

Oh, it's just puppy love.

Surprised she'd even like a man that old.

Why do you suppose he calls her Beth?

I don't know.

Maybe she seems older to him.

Now, that is ridiculous.

There'd have to be something wrong with him.

Charles, I believe you're jealous.

Jealous? I'm not jealous.

Just a concerned father who's worried about some old man

hanging around his daughter,

calling her Beth and stuff like that.

I don't think it's funny.

Charles, almanzo Wilder is just a nice young man

who's being nice. That's all.

Well, it darn well better be all.

It is.

Now, go to sleep.

All right.

- Good night. - Good night.

How old do you suppose he is?

Charles, go to sleep.

Charles: Beth.

I just don't understand why he calls her Beth,

it's not even her name.

He ought to call her half-pint.

Laura: You call me, pa?

Caroline: No, dear. Your father's just having a nightmare.

Miss Wilder?

Yes, Laura.

How would I go about taking a test

to get a teacher's certificate?

When the time comes,

an examiner will come to walnut grove

and give you the test.

It's as easy as that?

Well, it's easy to take it.

It's not that easy to pass it.

Well, do you have to be any certain age?

Wilder: No.

How soon could I take it?

Well, you'd have to get your school certificate first,

but there's no hurry.

I should think after another year.

Oh, no, ma'am. I want to do it as soon as I can.

Well, I can give you the school certificate test.

It's a two-hour examination.

It would help if you spent some time preparing for it.

- Two weeks? - Ha ha!

That's not much time.

It'll be enough.

I can see your mind's made up.

All right. The test will be comprised of vocabulary,

mathematics, and history.

Thank you, ma'am. I better get to work.

Willie, why have you stopped?

There's no more room.

Then erase it and begin again.

Yes, ma'am.

Almanzo: Good afternoon, Beth.

H-Hi.

I was afraid you'd be angry at me about the other night.

I'm sorry.

So it wasn't an accident. Ha ha!

No.

Why'd you do it?

I, uh...

I meant it as a joke on Nellie.

I figured she'd taste it first and find out.

I never expected you'd be eating it.

Oh, I see.

Well, I don't expect I'll ever be looking at cinnamon chicken again

without my eyes watering.

I really am sorry.

Forget it. To be honest, I wanted

to be getting home early anyway.

You did? Honest?

Honest.

Good.

See you!

See you!

Thanks for not being mad.

I love you!

I just think it's a mistake.

What's the big rush to graduate?

Well, as soon as I graduate, I can take my teaching exam.

- Your teaching exam? - Mm-hmm.

And who are you going to teach?

You'd have students older than you are.

Well, miss Wilder said there's no age limit.

Laura, children don't teach school. Adults do.

Well, you said that as soon as I was a teacher,

I'd be an adult.

You're not old enough to be an adult.

Well, you said that you were out of school

and working when you were 12,

and that it made a man out of you.

Didn't pa say that, Albert?

- Yes, you did... - Albert, you're not in this conversation.

Yes, sir.

When I was talking about going to work when I was 12,

that was different.

I was the man of the house,

I was supposed to go out and support the family.

It's not the same with women.

Now, just a minute.

I do think it's a little early for Laura to be teaching,

but not because she's a woman.

I know it's a sore spot with you,

but a woman is supporting this family right now.

That is true, pa.

Albert, please.

All I want is a chance.

I thought you'd be proud of me trying to better myself

instead of discouraging me.

Laura, we're not trying to discourage you.

Then let me try. That's all I ask. Please.

It's a difficult test.

I have two weeks to study.

You don't even have your final year's books yet.

How are you going to study something you don't have?

There's no way we can afford them right now.

Well, Nellie took the test. She has the books.

I could ask her to loan them to me.

You'd go begging to Nellie?

I would if I have to.

I want to be a teacher.

All right. I think it's a mistake,

but I won't deny your right to try.

Thanks, pa.

And another thing... when we're around other folks,

could you call me Laura or Beth

instead of half-pint?

Certainly, if that's what you want.

Thanks, pa.

Of course, right now we're not around any other folks, so...

I want you to finish your Greens, half-pint.

Ha ha ha! Yes, sir.

I can't believe you've come to me for a favor

after what you did.

I know what I did was wrong, and I'm sorry, Nellie.

Sorry isn't good enough.

Well, you want me to beg you?

Yes, go on.

Beg me to forgive you.

Nellie, I...

I beg you to forgive me for what I did.

You are forgiven.

Now can I borrow the books?

I shouldn't let you, but I will.

They're in the house.

I won't be long, Mrs. Ingalls.

Can you get along without me?

I'll do my best, Nellie.

Come on, then.

The books are right over here...

Vocabulary and mathematics.

What about history?

Miss Wilder said there'd be history.

She did? It's not true, you know.

- What? - About the history.

They told me that, too, and there wasn't any.

I spent months studying, and there wasn't one question.

Well, why would miss Wilder say it if it wasn't true?

Ha! Oh, you are naive, Laura.

She's a teacher, that's why.

I don't understand.

Miss Wilder knows you want to be a teacher.

You think she wants some young girl

coming along and taking her job?

If you don't pass the test, you won't be a teacher.

Simple as that.

I can't believe a teacher would do such a thing.

I couldn't believe it when it happened to me.

That's really why I'm helping you.

It gives me a chance to get even with teachers.

I got to go. Thanks, Nellie.

Oh, Laura.

Vocabulary. That's where they try and get you.

Thanks a lot, Nellie.

You're welcome, Laura.

Carrie, put on your bonnet.

- Yes'm. - Laura, it's getting late!

Caroline, give me a hand with these suspenders, will you?

Mm-hmm. You sure you want to go into town?

Oh, yeah. I'm going out of my mind sitting around here.

Besides, I haven't seen the mill run yet.

Sure you don't want to try riding in the wagon?

Nope. Too bumpy. I'll be fine.

Well, it's a big day.

- It sure is. - You nervous?

- A little. - Well, you certainly studied hard enough.

Now all you can do is do your best.

Ma's right. Good luck.

- Thanks, pa. - You kids run on ahead,

it's going to take me a little while walking into town.

Yes, pa.

- Have a good day! - Thanks, pa.

Caroline: Bye-bye.

Kids: Bye, ma.

- Carrie! - Carrie!

Sorry, ma.

You go ahead. I'll catch up.

- Hi, manly. - Good morning, Beth.

I'm taking my test today.

I know. My sister told me.

As soon as I take this one, I can take my teacher's exam,

and then I'll be a teacher.

Hey, now, one test at a time.

I know. Wish me luck.

I'll do better than that.

Almanzo Wilder's kiss of luck.

Never wipe that off.

Never.

Never.

Something must be wrong with my eyes.

I thought I saw you kiss that little girl.

For luck. She's got a big test today.

Oh, yes. She'll need luck.

I'm making some oatmeal cookies today,

I could bring you some at lunchtime.

Oh, that's real nice, Nellie,

but after I deliver this load, I'm heading on home.

Well, that's all right. I'll see you there.

Like mother, like daughter.

Charles: Jonathan.

Charles!

- Good morning, Jonathan. - Caroline.

- How are you doing? - That ain't important,

- how are you doing? - I'm doing great, feeling better every day.

Charles, I better get over to Nellie's.

All right. I'll come by

as soon as I visit here awhile.

See to it that he doesn't lift anything.

I'll look after him, Caroline.

I'll be up there soon.

I got her all fixed up upstairs. You want to see it?

You bet I do.

A big day for Laura today.

She's taking her graduating exam.

Andy told me. She's growing up so fast, Charles.

They all are.

All right, Laura. It's 10:00.

The test will be over by noon.

- You may begin. - Yes, ma'am.

I want the rest of the class

to continue working quietly.

Yes, Laura?

The test.

There's a lot of history on it.

I told you there would be.

These tests always have history.

You'd better get started.

Mmm! They smell so good!

Oh, they're very simple to make.

I'd be happy to show you.

Oh, I'd love to learn.

Maybe some other time.

I just want to take some of these to a sick friend.

Be back soon.

Yoo-hoo! Almanzo!

Hello, Nellie.

I brought your cookies. They're still warm.

Well, thank you. Why don't you put them right down there?

Why don't we go in the house where you can try one?

Well, I got a lot of work to do.

Besides, I haven't eaten lunch yet.

I'll have them later.

But they're still warm.

You wouldn't want to hurt my feelings, now, would you?

Well, of course not. I'll tell you what,

why don't I keep working here while you make lunch?

I got some nice, fresh kidneys inside.

Kidneys?

Yeah, I love them.

And I bet nobody can cook them up the way you do.

Cooked kidneys?

Oh, good heavens, the time!

I don't know what gets into me.

I've got all those lunches to prepare at the restaurant.

I'll just leave your cookies right here.

All right.

Toodle-oo!

All right, class. You may all go to lunch.

Time's up, Laura.

You don't have to bother grading me.

I know I failed!

How'd you do on your test?

Laura?

Why, Laura, dear, what a surprise.

Almanzo and I were just having lunch together.

How did you do on the test?

It was all history.

You're joking.

Miss Wilder says they're always all history.

Well, now that I think back,

maybe there was more history than I thought.

I hope you're not angry.

Why should I be?

It wasn't on purpose, was it?

Of course not.

Well, neither is this.

- Don't hurt me! - You bet I will!

No!

What?

Oh!

Aah!

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa!

Beth!

Beth!

Come on.

Get up there!

Uh!

Now, Beth, that's enough!

All right, now. That's enough!

Look at me! Just look at me!

I'm all covered in dirt!

You ought to be! You've got a face like a can of worms!

You'll be sorry!

Never!

Hold it! Hold it!

Let me go! Let me go!

Come on, now. That's enough.

It's going to be all right.

Come with me. We'll get you dried off.

Almanzo: Giddyap!

- Caroline? - In the kitchen!

- How you doing, darling? - Good.

There's some pie left. You want some?

I'd love it.

You're not gonna have to twist my arm, Caroline.

Ha ha! You seen Laura?

Charles: No, I haven't seen her.

Albert came over at recess.

She ran off.

I guess she didn't do well on the test.

We told her it was going to be hard,

she just wouldn't listen.

Mrs. Oleson: Caroline Ingalls!

In the kitchen!

I want you to come here and look at my daughter!

You think this is funny, do you? Ugh!

Your Laura did this!

- What? - She did.

Nellie: She attacked me! Tried to kill me.

Why?

Because...

Because I saw her and almanzo Wilder kissing,

and I told her I would tell.

You saw them kissing?

She's with him now.

They rode off in his buckboard.

D-Drove off in a buckboard, huh?

Nellie: Towards his place.

Towards his place.

Jonathan, I need a ride.

Charles, don't do anything in haste.

Haste? Oh, no, Caroline,

I'm not gonna do anything in haste.

I'm gonna take all the time in the world

while I beat almanzo Wilder

within an inch of his life!

Mm, mm, mm!

I got your clothes soaking in the tub out back.

Here's some hot chocolate.

No, thanks.

Doctor's orders.

Well, you want to talk about it now?

No.

It'll make you feel better.

No, it won't.

Well...

You can't feel any worse.

Give it a try.

It was the test.

Nellie told me there wasn't any history on it...

And it was all history, and she knew it.

Oh.

So you didn't do too well then, huh?

I did awful.

Well, it's not the end of the world.

You can take the test again.

My sister had to take her teaching exam 3 times.

3 times!

She did?

Yes, and she felt bad,

but she didn't give up.

She kept right on working till she got it down.

That's a good test for people

to find out what they're made of.

You look like the kind of person

who wouldn't give up no matter what.

Am I right?

You're right.

Now, a little smile?

There we go. That's my Beth.

Well, I don't think that's Nellie coming.

- Pa! - Now, you just stay out of this!

- Pa, stop it! - I told you to stay out of this!

- Come on, Wilder. Get up! - Charles, that's enough!

All right. Maybe you'd like to explain to me

what my daughter's doing here in your robe.

Maybe you'd like to explain that to me, huh?

Pa, I got in a fight, and I got wet.

Almanzo was just being nice.

I suppose he was being nice when he kissed you today, too, huh?

On the forehead for luck on my test!

For what?

Yes, sir.

You don't think that I...

Why, Beth's just a little girl.

Mr. Wilder, I...

I really owe you an apology.

I'm very sorry.

Yeah, so am I.

My wife told me to not act in haste.

I guess I should have listened to her.

I understand. If I had a little girl,

I'd have probably done the same.

Laura: Will you both stop it?

Stop calling me a little girl,

and talking about me like I'm not even here!

I'm a woman!

A woman!

And I hate all of you!

Looks like it's my day for messing up.

Again, I'm sorry, Mr. Wilder.

I'll see you later, Jonathan.

Caroline: Charles!

I couldn't stay at work.

What happened?

I acted in haste.

Oh, no.

Yeah, I've already apologized to Mr. Wilder,

he was very nice about it.

And Laura ran off towards home.

That's where I'm heading now.

Come on. I'll tell you on the way.

Laura.

Oh, ma, it was awful.

Your pa told me.

First, me failing the test...

And then pa hitting almanzo...

And then the two of them calling me a little girl.

It was just so awful!

Well, aren't you?

Aren't I what?

A little girl. Aren't you a little girl?

No.

Then stop acting like one.

Come on. Sit up.

Blow your nose.

I don't think the test is worth talking about.

It's not the first test you've failed,

and it certainly won't be the last.

Failing is a part of trying.

If you don't try something, you can't fail.

It may make life a lot easier, but it's very dull.

About what happened with your pa and almanzo...

I think you're very like your pa.

You're a girl trying to act like a woman.

He's a man acting like a boy.

Only difference is, your pa would be the first to admit it.

But it's different for me.

How?

Answer me.

How is it different for you?

Because I love almanzo.

I know that.

You do?

Of course I do.

And your pa loves you.

But that's no excuse for either one of you

to act as you have.

You want almanzo to think of you as a woman?

Start acting like one.

It may take time.

It may not work out at all.

But it certainly won't happen if you just sit here

letting your nose run.

Blow again.

Good.

Now, I've got to get back to work.

Your pa's out in the yard feeling pretty bad himself.

Might be nice if you had a word for him.

Laura: Ma?

Uh-huh?

I'm going to make almanzo see me as a woman someday...

Because I love him.

I think you will.

But I wouldn't tell your pa that just yet.

Ha ha ha! I won't.

Hi.

Hi.

Neither one of US had too good a day, did we?

No, I guess not.

I really am sorry.

Me, too.

You got nothing to be sorry about.

It was all my fault.

It was both our faults.

It was more my fault than it was your fault.

Well, it was my fault before it was your fault.

I had the fight with Nellie,

but that was her fault.

Well, then it's neither one of our faults. It's Nellie's fault.

Yeah, it's Nellie's fault.

Oh, I love you.

I love you, too, pa.

- Have you had lunch? - Uh-uh.

Me neither. How about if I make US a picnic, and we go fishing?

Yeah, that sounds good, Laura.

Half-pint to you, pa.

Sounds good, half-pint.

Laura, voice-over: I took ma's advice and didn't say anything more

about almanzo.

I guess I knew I'd always be half-pint to pa,

but I was just as sure I'd someday be Laura Ingalls Wilder.
