GOOD AFTERNOON, NELLIE.

OH, HI, MR. INGALLS.

HI, DARLING.

CHARLES. YOU AND ALMANZO FINISHED THE ROOF ALREADY?

NO. DUMBEST THING. WE RAN OUT OF NAILS. I HAD TO COME INTO TOWN.

OH, CHARLES.

STOPPED BY THE POST OFFICE. GOT A LETTER FROM WISCONSIN.

REMEMBER ED POULSEN?

OF COURSE I DO.

HIS OLDEST SON'S GETTING MARRIED IN 2 WEEKS.

ONE LAMB STEW AND ONE CHICKEN.

COMING UP. WE'LL HAVE TO SEND THEM A NICE GIFT.

I THOUGHT WE'D DO BETTER THAN THAT.

WHAT?

TAKE IT TO THEM.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, THEY INVITED US TO THE WEDDING.

OH, CHARLES. I'D LOVE TO GO, BUT--

2 MORE LAMB STEWS.

BUT WHAT? WE HAVEN'T BEEN BACK THERE FOR 20 YEARS.

WELL, YOU CAN SEE HOW BUSY WE ARE HERE.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE MARRIED IN THE SAME CHURCH WE WERE.

OH, CHARLES, I'D LOVE TO GO. I REALLY WOULD.

BUT YOU CAN SEE, I DON'T SEE HOW I COULD GET AWAY AT THIS TIME.

MRS. OLESON COULD FILL IN FOR THE WEEK.

WELL, WE CAN'T REALLY AFFORD TO LOSE THE MONEY.

CAROLINE, WE CAN AFFORD IT. COME ON.

CHARLES, I CAN'T REALLY TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS NOW.

COULD WE TALK ABOUT IT LATER?

ALL RIGHT, BUT THINK IT OVER, OK?

MM-HMM. LAURA'S JOINING US FOR SUPPER.

OK, FINE.

[CLATTER] OH, SORRY.

2 STEAK AND EGGS.

OH, COMING UP.

ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE?

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT'S WHAT IT WAS, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO--

I'D SAY YOU'RE EASILY 2 MONTHS ALONG.

THAT'S WONDERFUL. I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL MANLY!

OH, THANK YOU, DOC BAKER!

NOT SO FAST. BE CAREFUL!

[HAMMERING]

Charles: WE COULD HAVE BEEN FINISHED BY NOW

IF WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO INTO TOWN.

Almanzo: OH, WE DIDN'T LOSE THAT MUCH TIME.

I SUPPOSE.

HEY, WHERE ARE THE KIDS?

ALBERT TOOK 'EM FISHING. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE BACK IN A WHILE.

Caroline: CHARLES!

SUPPER WILL BE ON IN ABOUT AN HOUR.

PERFECT. WE'LL BE DONE BY THEN, DARLING.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN CAROLINE LOOK SO HAPPY.

SHE'S BASICALLY A HAPPY PERSON.

WELL, NOT LIKE LATELY. SHE'S FAIR TO BURSTING WITH GOOD CHEER.

MAYBE. WHY NOT? THINGS ARE GOING WELL.

YOU AND HALF-PINT ARE SETTLED.

MILL'S DOING GOOD. SO'S THE RESTAURANT.

YEP. SEEMS RIGHT.

COURSE THERE'S ANOTHER BIG REASON WHY SHE'S HAPPY.

WHAT'S THAT?

'CAUSE SHE'S MARRIED TO A VERY WONDERFUL PERSON.

HA HA HA!

MANLY!

LAURA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE IT!

WHAT?!

I'M GOING TO HAVE A BABY!

[CHARLES LAUGHING]

A BABY?

A BABY?

HA HA!

WHOO-HOO!

Charles: ALMANZO!

MANLY!

MANLY!

ALMANZO, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, YEAH, I'M FINE. I'M FINE. I'M FINE.

YOU SURE?

YEAH.

A BABY?

HA HA HA!

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY?

THAT'S RIGHT!

OH, SWEETHEART!

ALMANZO, PUT ME DOWN!

WHOA. I'M SORRY.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

OH, I WONDER--I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO TELL YOU.

I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU TONIGHT AT DINNER ANYWAY.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK LAURA'S CHILD

IS GOING TO HAVE AN UNCLE THE SAME AGE.

I'M PREGNANT, TOO!

WHAT?!

OH, NO!

OH, MY LORD!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

MA, ARE YOU SURE?

WELL, AS SURE AS I COULD EVER BE!

CHARLES.

HOW ARE YOU DOING, REVEREND?

LAURA JUST TOLD ME. WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS!

OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I CAN'T GET MY MIND ON ANYTHING ELSE.

CAROLINE--CAROLINE'S POSITIVE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A BOY.

A BOY. YOU WANT THAT VERY MUCH, DON'T YOU?

YEAH. IT'S KIND OF LIKE SOMETHING THAT'S IN MY SOUL.

IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW MUCH I LOVE ALBERT.

WELL, OF COURSE IT DOESN'T.

YOU KNOW, REVEREND, I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH I REALLY WANTED A BOY

UNTIL SHE TOLD ME SHE'S PREGNANT.

CHARLES, I'M NOT ONE TO THROW COLD WATER ON A BODY'S HOPES, BUT...

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT TO PREPARE YOURSELF. THAT BABY COULD BE A DAUGHTER.

I KNOW THAT, REVEREND,

AND IF SHE IS, SHE'S GOING TO BE LOVED JUST AS MUCH AS THE OTHERS.

I JUST WANT TO HANG ON TO THAT DREAM FOR A WHILE, THAT'S ALL.

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU, CHARLES.

I KNOW IT. THANK YOU.

OH, CHARLES.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW WHERE THE BIBLE SAYS, "GO YE THEREFORE AND POPULATE THE EARTH"?

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE IT QUITE SO LITERALLY.

HAVE A GOOD DAY, REVEREND!

WELL, AM I THE PICTURE OF HEALTH OR NOT?

YOU CERTAINLY ARE.

I'D PUT IT AROUND THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, WOULDN'T YOU?

CAROLINE.

THE BIRTH, I MEAN.

SIT DOWN.

WHAT? I'M FINE.

YOU SAID I WAS FINE.

YOU ARE.

BUT YOU'RE NOT PREGNANT.

WHAT?

THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS WHATEVER.

OH, NO, YOU'RE WRONG. I CAN FEEL THE CHILD GROWING INSIDE ME.

I'VE EVEN HAD MORNING SICKNESS 3, 4 TIMES.

I IMAGINE YOU EXPECTED TO, SO YOU DID.

NO, I HAVE TO BE PREGNANT!

I TOLD YOU IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE MY LAST CYCLE.

CAROLINE, THERE'S SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO FACE.

NOW, IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, IT WAS YOUR LAST CYCLE.

OH, NO.

PLEASE, NO. GOD, NO.

NOW, CAROLINE, YOU CAN'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO TAKE IT THAT WAY.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO EVERY WOMAN SOONER OR LATER.

NOT USUALLY AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE,

BUT I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN TO EVEN YOUNGER WOMEN.

YOU'VE BORNE 5 CHILDREN!

I TOLD CHARLES HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A SON.

I WISH YOU'D COME TO ME FIRST.

BUT I WAS SO SURE!

[CRYING]

HOW CAN I TELL HIM?

YOU'VE GOT TO.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

CAROLINE, YOU'VE GOT TO.

IT'LL BE A BLOW TO CHARLES, BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING HE CAN'T WITHSTAND.

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME? NOT BEING ABLE TO BEAR ANY CHILDREN.

WHAT WILL I BE TO HIM EXCEPT SOME-- SOME NOTHING.

NOW, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

YES, IT IS.

YOU KNOW IT.

IT IS.

[SOBBING]

HE'S GOT TO KNOW.

I CAN'T FACE TELLING HIM.

I'LL TELL HIM.

NO, PLEASE. I'LL WORK IT OUT! I WILL. I WILL.

I PROMISE. I JUST... PROMISE ME YOU WON'T TELL HIM.

PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

I WON'T SAY ANYTHING.

HERE WE GO.

I DON'T MIND MAKING THIS DELIVERY, YOU KNOW.

OH, NO, YOU'RE FASTER GETTING THE NEXT ONE READY WHILE I'M GONE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO WASTE A MINUTE, DO YOU?

I'M NO DIFFERENT FROM YOU.

THERE'LL BE AN EXTRA MOUTH TO FEED, GRAMPS.

GRAMPS?

ALREADY YOU'VE STARTED CALLING ME GRAMPS?

GO ON, SAY GOOD-BYE TO LAURA. GRAMPS!

OH, HI, DOC.

I WAS WONDERING HOW LAURA'S FEELING.

WELL, SHE'S DOING FINE, JUST FINE. I'M ON MY WAY OVER TO SEE HER

BEFORE I LEAVE.

WELL, DON'T LET ME HOLD YOU UP.

ALMANZO, YOU BETTER TAKE THIS WITH YOU.

OH, DOC, HOW YOU DOING?

CHARLES, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE HERE.

I'M JUST HELPING OUT. I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU FOR A WHILE.

WELL, I GUESS OUR PATHS JUST HAVEN'T CROSSED. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

THE SAME. WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AND CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

CAROLINE CAN'T SLEEP AT ALL.

SHE JUST PACES BACK AND FORTH, HOPING THE BABY'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE, I GUESS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, IS THERE?

CAROLINE'S IN EXCELLENT HEALTH.

YOU SCARED ME FOR A MINUTE, DOC.

I GOT TO GET THIS INVOICE TO ALMANZO. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

HEY.

HI.

YOU SHOULD HAVE ONE OF YOUR KIDS DOING THAT.

SOMETIMES I DO.

WELL, FROM NOW ON, ALWAYS YOU DO.

THAT'S SILLY.

NOTHING'S SILLY WHEN IT COMES TO TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF.

HONESTLY.

I'M SERIOUS NOW. DON'T ARGUE.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M TAKING THAT DELIVERY IN NOW.

WILL YOU BE BACK FOR SUPPER?

EASY.

IT'LL BE ON THE TABLE.

I LOVE YOU LOTS.

YOU'D BETTER.

I KNOW I'D BETTER.

HA HA!

OK.

BYE-BYE. BYE.

DR. BAKER.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME COFFEE? I THINK THERE'S STILL SOME FRESH.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

CAN WE SIT?

ALL RIGHT.

IT'S BEEN A WEEK.

I KNOW.

THIS IS A SENSELESSLY CRUEL THING YOU'RE DOING.

TO YOURSELF AND TO CHARLES.

I JUST SAW HIM. THE MAN IS FAIRLY SHINING WITH HAPPINESS.

I TRIED...

TO TELL HIM.

I AL--I ALMOST...

THE WORDS...

WOULDN'T COME.

EACH DAY, IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE.

I WON'T STAND BY AND WATCH IT ANY LONGER.

OH, PLEASE...

I NEED MORE TIME.

YOU HAVE UNTIL TOMORROW.

I'M SORRY. THIS IS SO TERRIBLE FOR YOU.

[LAUGHTER]

THAT'S SO CUTE.

MAYBE WE SHOULD BUILD THEM A RING.

Nellie: OH, CAROLINE, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE

WHAT THESE TWO HAVE BEEN UP TO!

THEY WERE SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR, KIND OF FACING EACH OTHER.

AND THEY WERE BOXING.

THEY WERE REALLY GOING AT IT.

WITH BIG GRINS ON THEIR FACES.

THAT IS CUTE.

GOOD DAY! OH, MY BABIES. THAT'S BENNY!

BENJAMIN.

BENJAMIN! AND LITTLE JENNIFER.

OOH, THEY'RE SO SWEET.

LITTLE BABY GIRL JUST LOOKS LIKE HER MOMMY.

[JENNIFER GURGLING]

OH, GAAAA YOURSELF.

OH, BURP. THAT'S ALL THEY DO IS BURP.

Nellie: HONESTLY, I NEVER THOUGHT HAVING BABIES COULD BE THIS MUCH FUN.

Percival: IT'S KIND OF LIKE LIVING WITH A CIRCUS ACT.

YOU KNOW, I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING.

WOULDN'T IT BE WONDERFUL IF YOU HAD TWINS, TOO?

WELL, I SUPPOSE ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE.

EXCUSE ME. I'M REALLY NOT FEELING WELL.

OH, I'M SORRY.

Percival: LET ME DRIVE YOU HOME.

NO, THE WALK WILL DO ME GOOD.

MAYBE THEY'RE READY FOR ROUND 2.

TIRED, HUH? HE'S ASLEEP ALREADY.

Charles: AND YOU THINK IT'S A BOY?

Caroline: OH, I DO, CHARLES. I DO.

THE IDEA OF GIVING YOU A SON. THERE'S NOTHING IN THE WORLD I COULD WANT MORE.

Doc Baker: IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO EVERY WOMAN SOONER OR LATER.

HOW CAN I TELL HIM?

YOU'VE GOT TO.

AND YOU THINK IT'S A BOY?

WHAT WILL I BE TO HIM EXCEPT SOME--SOME NOTHING!

PA!

WHAT'S WRONG?

IT'S MA, PA. SHE'S SICK, AND SHE'S CRYING A LOT.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GET DOC BAKER.

NO. SHE DOESN'T WANT DOC BAKER. SHE JUST WANTS YOU.

CARL, CAN YOU FINISH THAT ORDER FOR ME?

I SURE CAN.

THANK YOU.

[CAROLINE CRYING]

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

CHARLES...

CAROLINE, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

JUST TELL ME. WHAT IS IT?

I...

CHARLES, I...

I LOST THE BABY.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

CHARLES.

YOU BUSY?

JUST FINISHING UP FOR THE DAY.

YOU MIND IF I SIT DOWN AND TALK AWHILE?

NO.

THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE ANY BABY.

I'M SORRY, CHARLES.

BUT I'M GLAD SHE FINALLY TOLD YOU.

SHE SWORE ME TO SECRECY.

I HOPE YOU'LL FORGIVE ME THAT.

BUT SHE WAS DESPERATE...

NEEDED TIME TO FIND A WAY TO TELL YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

SHE JUST TOLD ME NOW.

SHE TOLD ME SHE LOST THE BABY NOW.

OH, I THOUGHT...

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

ARE YOU SAYING SHE WAS NEVER PREGNANT?

I'M AFRAID SO.

AND SHE LIED TO ME ALL THIS TIME?

I MEAN...

I DON'T THINK SHE COULD HELP IT.

IT WAS FAR MORE THAN KNOWING SHE WASN'T PREGNANT.

CHARLES, CAROLINE CAN NEVER HAVE ANY MORE CHILDREN.

SHE COULDN'T FACE WHAT THAT MIGHT MEAN TO YOU...

THAT YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO THINK OF HER AS A WHOLE WOMAN ANY LONGER.

DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

DOES TO HER.

KNOWING HOW DESPERATELY YOU WANTED A SON.

FINDING OUT SHE COULD NEVER GIVE YOU ONE.

SHE NEEDS ALL YOUR LOVE RIGHT NOW.

YOU COULDN'T BE WRONG ABOUT THIS, COULD YOU? I MEAN...

NO.

HI, PA.

PA, WHAT'S WRONG?

WHAT IS IT?

IT'S YOUR MA. SHE'S NOT GOING TO HAVE A BABY.

DOC BAKER SAID SHE CAN NEVER HAVE A CHILD AGAIN.

OH, NO.

SHE'S KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR SOME TIME.

SHE DIDN'T WANT TO TELL ME.

SHE WAS SO AFRAID OF THE WAY I'D FEEL

THAT SHE JUST LIED TO ME ALL THIS TIME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I DON'T WANT HER TO KNOW THAT I'VE FOUND OUT. SHE'S HURTING ENOUGH.

I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

IF SHE WANTS TO TELL YOU, SHE WILL.

IT'S MY FAULT, YOU KNOW.

SHE SO WANTED TO GIVE ME A BOY.

GOD, HOW CAN I HELP HER?

JUST GIVE HER A LOT OF LOVE.

IT'S THE BEST CURE.

MAYBE IF I COULD GET HER AWAY, TAKE A TRIP.

THAT FRIEND OF OURS' SON IS GETTING MARRIED SOON.

HE WANTED US TO COME TO THE WEDDING. THAT MIGHT BE GOOD.

GO AWAY AND SEE OLD FRIENDS.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

PA, YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG.

YOU CAN'T LET MA KNOW HOW MUCH THAT BABY MEANT TO YOU.

AND I KNOW IT DID.

Laura: I KNOW IT DID.

AW, COME ON, IT WILL BE FUN.

WE BOTH NEED TO GET AWAY FOR A WHILE. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I DON'T KNOW.

LOOK, WE'LL TAKE THE TRAIN TO MILWAUKEE, SAY, DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

THEN I'LL RENT A RIG, AND WE'LL DRIVE UP,

GET THERE A DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING.

I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO LAURA. SHE SAID SHE'D WATCH THE GIRLS,

AND ALBERT'S OLD ENOUGH TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PLACE.

I UNDERSTAND.

YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO GO.

IT'S NOT EXACTLY THAT.

I HAVE NO DESIRE TO GO.

BUT THEN I HAVE NO DESIRE NOT TO GO, EITHER.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT...

WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.

ALL RIGHT. THEN WE'LL GO.

HERE, I GOT SOME MORE WOOD.

THANKS. THESE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SIMMER FOR A WHILE.

WE GOT A LOT OF TIME.

SMELLS AWFUL GOOD.

BEAUTIFUL SPOT, ISN'T IT?

YES.

I DON'T WANT TO KEEP FEELING THIS WAY. I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT.

I KNOW.

A PERSON CAN'T DENY THEIR FEELINGS. JUST HAVE TO WAIT THEM OUT.

THINGS HAVE A WAY OF GETTING BETTER

ONCE THEY GET AS BAD AS THEY CAN GET.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WANTING TO TELL YOU.

I'M JUST HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME DOING IT.

WHAT?

JUST THINGS I'VE...

THINGS I'VE BEEN THINKING, AND I DON'T LIKE MYSELF FOR THINKING THEM.

I SHOULDN'T KEEP IT FROM YOU.

WHAT IS IT?

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TOLD ME ABOUT THE BABY,

I WAS JUST AS HAPPY ABOUT IT AS YOU WERE. I WAS.

THIS IS SO DARN HARD. I'M SORRY.

IT'S JUST THAT I GOT TO THINKING...

ABOUT HOW HARD IT'S BEEN FOR US RAISING OUR FAMILY

AND HOW LITTLE TIME YOU AND I HAVE HAD TOGETHER.

AND THEN I GOT TO THINKING THAT

I'D BE IN MY FIFTIES BY THE TIME HE OR SHE WAS 10 YEARS OLD.

I'D BE MORE LIKE THE BABY'S GRANDFATHER THAN FATHER.

AND THEN I STARTED THINKING I JUST WASN'T...

SURE WHETHER I WANTED THAT BABY.

AND I FEEL SO BAD FOR THINKING THINGS LIKE THAT.

CHARLES, I KNOW WHAT KIND OF MAN YOU ARE.

THEN WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY? I'M SORRY.

OH, CHARLES, DON'T BE SORRY.

LOOK, IT'S NATURAL TO HAVE MIXED FEELINGS.

YOU KNOW I WANTED THAT CHILD.

WELL, I KNEW WHAT IT WOULD MEAN TO OUR LIVES.

IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY YOU WERE FEELING.

DO YOU SEE THAT?

DO YOU?

YEAH, I DO.

ANYWAY, IT'S OVER.

AND I STILL HAVE MY LADY,

AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU MEAN MORE TO ME THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD.

OH, OH, CHARLES.

I LOVE YOU, DARLING.

OH, CHARLES.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

HEY, ALBERT?

IN HERE.

HI, ALMANZO.

HOW ARE THINGS GOING?

OK, I GUESS.

I JUST FINISHED FEEDING THE STOCK.

WELL, I JUST THOUGHT I'D COME OVER

AND SEE IF YOU NEED ANY HELP.

I'M FINE. JUST KIND OF LONESOME IS ALL.

WELL, IT WON'T BE MUCH LONGER.

I'M KIND OF GLAD WE GOT YOUR SISTERS OVER AT OUR PLACE.

SORT OF TAKES LAURA'S MIND OFF YOUR MA.

WISH I COULD GET MY MIND OFF HER.

I'M REALLY WORRIED.

WELL, LOOK, ALBERT.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MA WAS BAD,

BUT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

SHE'S GONNA COME AROUND IN TIME.

I HOPE SO.

SURE. LISTEN, IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,

DON'T HESITATE TO STOP BY.

I WILL. THANKS.

OK. BYE-BYE.

BYE.

MA! PA! THEY'RE HERE! THEY'RE HERE!

THERE THEY ARE!

WELL, WELL, WELL!

Woman: CHARLES!

Charles: HOW ARE YOU DOING?

LET ME GIVE YOU A HAND, DARLING.

OH, THANK YOU.

OH, WELCOME.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THESE YOUNG'UNS YOU GOT HERE.

ED, IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU.

CHARLES.

HELLO, DARLING.

YOU TWO AIN'T CHANGED HARDLY AT ALL.

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME THING TO YOU.

EUNICE'S COOKING HAS CAUSED SOME DIFFERENCE.

HAS IT REALLY BEEN 20 YEARS?

IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE.

MEET OUR BOYS. THIS HERE'S STEVEN.

STEVEN, HOW ARE YOU?

RICHARD.

HI. HI, RICHARD.

HENRY-- OUR BRIDEGROOM.

HENRY, HOW ARE YOU?

MRS. INGALLS. HENRY.

AND OUR FUTURE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, MYRA LOUISE.

HELLO.

SURE IS NICE FINALLY GETTING TO MEET YOU, MR. INGALLS.

WELL, SAME HERE.

PA'S TOLD US ALL ABOUT THE THINGS YOU USED TO DO.

WE WERE A LITTLE BIT WILD, WEREN'T WE?

OH, JUST HAVING FUN. YOU BOYS GET THEIR THINGS.

WE'LL LET YOU TWO FRESHEN UP BEFORE SUPPER.

ALL RIGHT, FINE.

CAROLINE.

Ed: AIN'T IT SOMETHING-- YOU HAVING ALL GIRLS AND US HAVING ALL BOYS?

Charles: HOW'S THE HARDWARE BUSINESS?

NOT TOO BAD. NOT TOO BAD AT ALL.

YOU GOT A NICE HOUSE HERE.

AIN'T IT?

[LAUGHTER]

THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF CAKE.

NO, THANK YOU.

NO, I COULDN'T EAT ANOTHER BITE.

COULD WE HAVE SECONDS, MOM?

WELL, I EXPECT.

AS YOU SEE, NOT MUCH GOES TO WASTE AROUND HERE.

SAME WITH US.

THINGS GOING WELL FOR YOU?

WELL ENOUGH. NOT AS WELL AS THEY'RE GOING FOR YOU FROM THE LOOKS OF EVERYTHING HERE.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HOME.

THANK YOU.

WE'VE BEEN LUCKY.

WE WERE SURE HOPING YOU'D BRING YOUR FAMILY WITH YOU...

OR SOME OF THEM.

I SUPPOSE WE COULD HAVE, BUT CAROLINE AND I DECIDED TO BE PLUMB SELFISH ON THIS TRIP.

WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY TIME ALONE TOGETHER IN QUITE SOME TIME.

WAIT TILL YOU TWO GET MARRIED AND HAVE CHILDREN OF YOUR OWN.

YOU'LL KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YEAH, I GUESS.

Eunice: WELL, I THOUGHT WE'D HAVE COFFEE IN THE LIVING ROOM.

Caroline: I'LL HELP YOU CLEAR THE TABLE.

Ed: NO NEED FOR THAT. THAT'S THEIR JOB. RIGHT, BOYS?

YES, SIR.

IT MAY NOT BE BOYS' WORK, BUT IT WON'T MAKE SISSIES OF THEM, EITHER.

WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO THE NEXT FEW DAYS, CHARLES?

WE'RE JUST GOING TO TAKE IT EASY, MAYBE WALK IN THE OLD WOODS.

REMINISCE A LITTLE, HUH?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M GLAD WE CAME.

FEELING A LOT BETTER, AREN'T YOU?

YES.

ONLY THING IS...

WHAT?

WELL...

I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT WEDDING TOMORROW.

YOU'RE NOT? WHY?

SAME CHURCH WE WERE MARRIED IN. THOSE TWO YOUNG PEOPLE THERE.

IT'S SORT OF LIKE... TWO LIVES BEGINNING...

AND TWO LIVES, WELL...

ARE YOU SAYING WE'RE OLD?

HA HA HA! NOT EXACTLY OLD.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. YOU'RE JUST AS OLD AS YOU FEEL.

COME ON.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

WE'RE GOING TO YOUR OLD HOUSE,

SEE IF IT'S AS RUN-DOWN AS YOU THINK WE ARE.

LOOK HOW BEAUTIFULLY IT'S BEEN KEPT UP.

ED SAID IT WAS.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE I NEVER LEFT.

HELP YOU?

HI.

MY WIFE GREW UP IN THIS HOUSE. WE WERE JUST VISITING.

YOUR NAME QUINER?

USED TO BE.

ADA!

WHAT?

COME ON OUT HERE.

PLACE STOOD EMPTY MORE THAN A YEAR TILL WE COME ALONG.

WHAT IS IT?

ONE OF THE QUINER GIRLS.

LAND SAKES!

OUR NAME'S PHIPPS.

CHARLES INGALLS, AND THIS IS MY WIFE CAROLINE.

HOW DO YOU DO?

I WAS JUST TELLING MY HUSBAND

THE PLACE LOOKS AS NICE AS WHEN I WAS A GIRL.

PROBABLY BETTER WITH ALL THE FIXING WE DID.

COULD I ASK YOU A FAVOR? WHAT'S THAT?

COULD MY WIFE GO UPSTAIRS AND TAKE A LOOK AT HER OLD BEDROOM?

WHAT?

LOOK AT HER BEDROOM?

YEAH.

CHARLES, WHAT--

JUST FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE. WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO?

WELL, I SUPPOSE.

COULD SHE? PLEASE?

I RECKON.

THANKS VERY MUCH. NOW, YOU GO ON UP.

ALONE?

I'LL SEE YOU--YEAH.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

JUST GO ON UP, AND WHEN YOU GET UP THERE, OPEN THE WINDOW.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M JUST GOING TO CLIMB UP THE SIDE OF YOUR HOUSE.

CLIMB UP THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE?

YEAH. YEAH, SEE, I WANT TO CLIMB UP TO THE BEDROOM WINDOW THERE.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST USE THE STAIRS LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES?

I'D BE IN YOUR DEBT IF YOU LET ME.

I CAN'T FIGURE OUT YOU YOUNG FOLKS.

I WISH MY WIFE COULD HEAR YOU SAY THAT. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

WELL, TELL ME WHY.

WELL, I JUST FIGURED OUT WHAT ME AND MY WIFE NEED.

OH, WHAT'S THAT?

A LITTLE COURTING.

YOU'RE GOING TO COURT YOUR WIFE BY CLIMBING UP THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE?

SURE. I USED TO DO IT ALL THE TIME.

SEE, I'D COME SNEAKING OVER HERE AT NIGHT RIGHT BEFORE SHE WENT TO BED.

WELL, HERE I AM.

I WAS JUST TELLING MR. PHIPPS HERE

HOW I USED TO SNEAK OVER HERE EVERY NIGHT TO GIVE YOU A KISS.

CHARLES INGALLS!

I WASN'T ALLOWED IN THE HOUSE, NATURALLY, THAT LATE AT NIGHT,

SO I'D COME SNEAKING AROUND HERE AND CLIMB UP THAT TRELLIS TO HER WINDOW.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

GO AHEAD.

APPRECIATE IT.

LIKE I WAS SAYING, I'D CLIMB UP HERE EVERY NIGHT TO GIVE HER A KISS.

I REMEMBER ONE TIME I CLIMBED UP HERE,

STOOD RIGHT THERE ON THE ROOF AND PROPOSED. YOU REMEMBER?

I SAID, CAROLINE...

I LO--WHOA!

WHOA!

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I THINK SO.

THIS TRELLIS IS EVEN OLDER THAN I AM.

HA HA HA!

WERE YOU REALLY GOING TO PROPOSE?

WELL, YOU'RE DARN RIGHT I WAS.

I'M GOING TO MARRY YOU AGAIN, TOO.

WHAT?

LAND SAKES!

YOU YOUNG FOLKS ARE GETTING CRAZIER BY THE YEAR.

YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID? YOUNG FOLKS!

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA HA!

I THINK THAT'S THE MOST ROMANTIC THING I EVER HEARD.

ISN'T IT?

YOU MIGHT SAY. THOUGH I CAN'T HONESTLY SEE THE REASON FOR IT.

THE REASON IS WE JUST WANT TO DO IT.

I JUST THINK IT'S WONDERFUL.

OH, I DO, TOO.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT US TAKING THE EDGE OFF YOUR WEDDING.

WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE PRIVATE CEREMONY AFTER IT'S OVER.

REVEREND LYMAN SAID HE'D WAIT.

WHAT ABOUT A WEDDING DRESS?

JUST HAVE TO DO WITHOUT.

YOU WILL NOT. I STILL HAVE MINE, AND I KNOW IT'D FIT.

OH, EUNICE, COULD I?

COURSE.

MRS. INGALLS, MR. INGALLS,

MYRA LOUISE AND ME--

WELL, WE'D BE PROUD IF YOU WANTED TO MAKE IT A DOUBLE CEREMONY.

OH, BUT WE COULDN'T.

IT'D BE THE FIRST ONE IN THESE PARTS.

WELL, I'M FINALLY GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT OF THINGS.

I THINK THAT'S A FINE IDEA.

WELL, SO DO WE. THANK YOU.

WELL, COME ALONG. LET'S FIND THAT WEDDING DRESS.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

CONGRATULATIONS.

GUESS WHAT. I'M GETTING NERVOUS.

I GOT JUST THE THING.

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

OH, THIS IS SO EXCITING.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE DOING IT.

OH, YOU KNOW, I USED TO THINK ONE DAY MY DAUGHTER WOULD BE WEARING THIS

AND WHEN A DAUGHTER NEVER CAME, I THOUGHT HOW SAD

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GOWN LIKE THIS WOULD ONLY BE WORN ONE TIME.

NOW, WELL, I HAVE A SPECIAL HAPPINESS ABOUT THIS, CAROLINE.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL.

AND I DO REMEMBER IT.

OH, IT'LL FIT PERFECTLY. I KNOW IT WILL.

TAKE A FEW WRINKLES OUT HERE AND THERE, BUT THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

OH, EUNICE.

TRY IT ON. OH, PLEASE.

MYRA LOUISE, ARE YOU VERY, VERY SURE THAT YOU AND HENRY WON'T MIND?

WE'RE JUST THRILLED.

WELL, ALL RIGHT.

I NEVER THOUGHT SHE'D TALK TO YOU, LET ALONE MARRY YOU.

TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

IT'S GREAT THINKING ABOUT THOSE TIMES, AIN'T IT, CHARLES?

OH, IT SURE IS. I JUST WONDER AFTER ALL THIS TIME,

HOW MANY OF THE THINGS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REALLY HAPPENED.

OH, COME ON NOW. IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO.

I REMEMBER ONE THING THAT REALLY HAPPENED.

REMEMBER THE TIME YOU WERE GONNA INDIAN-WRESTLE

BIG JIM ANDERSON AND YOU WHIPPED HIM

OFF THE TOP OF STEELER'S BLUFF?

HE WAS SURPRISED, WASN'T HE?

HEY, PA, WERE YOU REALLY A GOOD INDIAN-WRESTLER?

WAS HE GOOD?

I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT YOUR PA

WAS THE CHAMPION OF SCHOOLHOUSE 23.

REALLY, PA?

WELL, DON'T SOUND SO SURPRISED.

I BET I COULD STILL PULL WITH THE BEST OF THEM.

HOLD THIS, CHARLES.

COME ON, SON.

UH-OH.

DON'T WORRY. I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU

THE OLD TECHNIQUE.

NOW DON'T WORRY. I WON'T HURT YOU. I'LL GO EASY.

THERE. GO. SEE, I LEAN WAY BACK,

GET YOU OFF BALANCE, AND THEN--

WHOA!

NOW, THIS TIME I'M GONNA DO IT.

OH!

[CRASH]

YOU ALL RIGHT, PA?

I'M FINE. I'M FINE. IT'S NOT FUNNY, CHARLES.

OH, YES, IT IS.

I GUESS IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

HERE. HAVE A DRINK.

TO THE OLD DAYS.

YEAH. TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

HA HA HA!

NOW, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THE STORY NOW.

REMEMBER HOW WE TALKED ABOUT HOW THE BEARS CAME UPSTAIRS?

THE BEARS CAME UPSTAIRS, AND THEY WENT CREEPING UP THE STAIRS...

1, 2, 3...

AND THEY GOT TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, AND THEY OPENED THE DOOR.

[CREAK]

AND THEY LOOKED IN...

AND PAPA BEAR GROWLED, AND WHAT DID PAPA BEAR SOUND LIKE?

ARRRGH.

ARRRGGHHH!

[GRUFF VOICE] "SOMEBODY'S BEEN SLEEPING IN MY BED," HE SAID,

AND MAMA BEAR WENT OVER TO HER BED.

[HIGH VOICE] "SOMEONE'S BEEN LYING IN MY BED!"

WELL, NOW, BABY BEAR WENT TO HIS BED, AND HE SAID...

[HIGH VOICE] "SOMEONE'S BEEN LYING IN MY BED, AND THERE SHE IS!"

AND THEN AT THAT POINT, GOLDILOCKS, WHO LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU,

WOKE UP, AND SHE LOOKED UP, AND SHE SAW THE 3 BEARS STANDING THERE,

AND SHE WAS SO AFRAID, AND SHE RAN, RAN, RAN ALL THE WAY HOME,

AND SHE WAS VERY TIRED.

NOW, ARE YOU VERY TIRED?

ARE YOU READY TO GO TO SLEEP?

NO?

DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER STORY, GRACE?

WELL...

[SIGHS]

ONCE UPON A TIME...

IN A LAND FAR, FAR AWAY...

THERE LIVED A BOY NAMED JACK.

GRACE CAN'T HEAR ENOUGH BEDTIME STORIES.

THAT'S KIND OF NICE.

GOOD PRACTICE, TOO.

OH, WHAT'S WRONG, SWEETHEART?

I JUST CAN'T CONCENTRATE.

I KEEP THINKING ABOUT MA.

I KNOW.

BUT I HAVE AN IDEA THAT THAT TRIP'S GOING TO DO HER SOME GOOD.

I SUPPOSE.

I JUST KEEP REMEMBERING HER FACE WHEN THEY LEFT.

IT WAS SO EMPTY.

LIKE SHE'D JUST GIVEN UP.

I'M AFRAID SHE'LL NEVER GET OVER WHAT HAPPENED.

SURE SHE WILL.

SURE SHE WILL.

HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO?

YES, MRS. OLESON.

OF COURSE. IT'S MA.

HI, MA.

YES, THEY'RE FINE.

ALMANZO JUST FINISHED PUTTING THEM TO BED.

AND THEY MISS YOU, TOO.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

WHAT?

YOU'RE GOING TO WHAT?

WHAT IS IT? IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

HE DID! WELL, HE DIDN'T GET HURT, DID HE?

OH, MA, THAT'S WONDERFUL.

I WISH I COULD BE THERE.

YES. I LOVE YOU, TOO. GIVE PA A KISS FOR ME AND DON'T WORRY.

TAKE YOUR TIME COMING HOME.

I WILL.

BYE, MA.

WHAT IS IT? LAURA, WHAT IS IT?

MA AND PA, THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED AGAIN.

DEARLY BELOVED, WE ARE GATHERED TOGETHER HERE

IN THE SIGHT OF GOD, IN THE FACE OF THIS COMPANY

TO JOIN IN MARRIAGE THIS MAN AND THIS WOMAN

AND THIS MAN AND THIS WOMAN.

MARRIAGE IS AN HONORABLE ESTATE AND NOT TO BE ENTERED INTO LIGHTLY.

INTO THIS ESTATE, THESE YOUNG PEOPLE COME TO BE JOINED IN WEDLOCK.

AND IF ANY MAN CAN SHOW JUST CAUSE WHY THEY MAY NOT LAWFULLY BE JOINED TOGETHER,

LET HIM SPEAK NOW OR ELSE HEREAFTER FOREVER HOLD HIS PEACE.

BYE!

GOOD-BYE!

WELL, MRS. INGALLS, HOW DO YOU FEEL?

HAPPY.

SO HAPPY.

WHY DON'T WE DO IT EVERY YEAR, THEN?

I LOVE YOU.

WE'LL SEE YOU!
