Bye.

Bye, Mrs. Ingalls!

Good morning, Mrs. Oleson.

Oh! It is not!

Oh, it can't be that bad.

Oh! Will you just look at this!

What is that supposed to be?

Bread! What do you think?

Here. Let me start over.

Oh!

I will be so relieved

when Nellie gets back from New York.

Oh. Between working at the store and working over here,

I am a nervous wreck.

Have you heard from her?

No.

Heavens, when they called,

you would have thought that he was on his deathbed!

They've been gone for 4 weeks now and he's still breathing.

I think the whole trip was just a plan to get them to visit.

Well, I hope you're right.

I bet they won't even let poor Nellie telephone me.

Why on earth not?

- Cheap, that's why. - Ha ha!

Well, it's true.

Do you know that when that woman calls

to find out how percival is,

she won't even talk to him.

What?

Yes!

Yes, she makes a person-to-person call to Mr. Sonny,

and then Nellie or percival answer the phone,

and they say that Mr. Sonny has gone for a walk,

which means he's fine.

Or if he isn't fine, they say he's asleep.

I think that's rather clever.

Ha!

Morning, nels.

Caroline.

Nels, anything from the children?

Yes.

What's the matter?

Percival's father passed away.

Oh, no.

Yes. In his sleep, thank god.

Harriet: Ohh.

Poor percival. Tsk tsk.

Did they say when they'd be back home?

Harriet, I think you ought to read Nellie's letter.

Harriet.

No, I just want to be alone.

Nellie and percival are staying back east.

For how long?

Permanently.

He's the only... The only son,

and he feels it's his responsibility

to take over the business

for the sake of the rest of the family.

They want US to send the remainder of their things.

Oh, nels, I'm so sorry.

Well, you, uh,

you can't keep your children with you forever.

It's, uh...

It's just that New York... it's so far.

I've got to get their stuff ready.

Harriet, would you like some soup?

I made some potato and leek.

I know that's your favorite.

No.

Maybe later on.

Harriet, you know, I've been thinking.

There's a lot of things that we can do now

that we could never do before,

places that we could go to.

We don't have to worry

about looking after grandchildren or...

Oh, Harriet, I'm sorry.

Oh, please... Please.

Oh, nels.

They're all gone.

My Nellie's gone, and my babies are gone.

Nobody n-needs me anymore.

Harriet, I need you.

And Willie. Willie needs you.

Oh, Willie.

Willie doesn't need me.

You do the cooking. He needs you.

No. No, you don't understand.

A woman needs a...

A little girl.

A little girl that she can put bows in her hair

and dress her in pretty dresses.

I feel so alone.

It's hard to imagine Mr. Dalton gone.

He was so full of life and energy.

That's why you have to live every day. You just never know.

Poor Mrs. Oleson.

Nellie and her grandchildren,

why, they were just her whole life.

She'll get over it. She can always visit.

New York? That's thousands of miles.

Well, if we were in New York,

I'm sure you'd find a way to visit.

So would we.

Well, thank god you're not.

We're going to be.

Adam, not tonight.

Mary, we've put it off long enough.

Hey, what's this all about?

Charles, I've been in walnut grove almost 6 months,

and in that time, I've had exactly 5 cases.

Aside from the first one involving Mr. Mills and the land swindle,

my most exciting case was Morgan vs. Swenson,

concerning the theft of an outhouse.

I just can't make a living here.

We've put off saying anything

because we were hoping things would change.

But they haven't.

So, last week I contacted my father's old law firm.

They wrote me back last week

and told me that they had an opening.

Well, it...

This comes as a surprise.

I wouldn't go if I didn't think I had to.

No, no. I... I know. I'm happy for you.

I mean, you've studied hard.

It's not right that you're not able

to use your abilities to their fullest.

Of course not.

From what I hear, folks in the city sue each other every day.

I'll make US some more coffee.

Ma.

I don't know what's the matter with me.

I do.

I've been crying all week.

Oh, Mary.

Oh!

Oh, ma, don't cry.

It's all right.

Please don't cry.

You know, I'm really sorry about upsetting Caroline like that.

She'll be all right.

Just kind of sudden for her.

She's a strong lady. She's had to be.

I don't know, I just feel like now's the time to make my move.

The state's taken the blind school under its wing.

They're secure financially.

So, now it's time for me to get my feet wet.

And, look, who knows?

I may go back there and fall flat on my face.

Oh, no. No, not you, Adam.

You're bright, and you're not afraid of hard work.

You Mark my words... it's those other lawyers

that are gonna have to be on their toes.

You know, I really appreciate that coming from you, Charles.

I mean it, son.

And I'm going to miss the heck out of both of you.

There you are.

Aha. Thank you.

What can I get you to drink?

Uh, coffee, please. Black.

Man: Could you help me, please?

Be right there.

Uh, this steak is well-done.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You know, I'm here all alone today.

I'm trying to cook and wait on tables. It's really...

I understand.

Thank you.

Man: I'd like to order, please, if I may.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

That's all right.

I'd like your stew and a glass of milk.

Stew and milk. Coming right up.

Thank you.

Hey, hey. Slow down a minute.

I can't slow down.

Yes, you can, and you will.

Come on. Come on, now.

Just sit for a minute.

You know what?

What?

I think we're going to close this place

until Harriet can work again.

I thought I could handle it myself, but I...

But you can't. Nobody could.

How's Harriet?

No change.

Got a call from Nellie last night.

Harriet heard her voice, she broke into tears...

Couldn't even speak.

Just takes time, I guess.

I'm going to ask around about getting you some help here,

but in the meantime,

I think we should just close the place.

I can't argue with you.

You finish out the day and lock up.

All right.

Oh, the switchboard.

You get that. I'll serve up the food.

Thank you.

Hello!

Who?

Yes! Yes! Put her on.

Hester-sue, how are you?

Hester-sue: I'm fine.

Caroline, I just called Adam and Mary to say good-bye.

You knew they were leaving?

Knew they were going?

No. I was calling about myself leaving.

The state moved in here, you know.

Yes, Adam told me.

Well, when they found out I didn't have a teaching credential,

they said I would have to get one

or they couldn't keep me on here.

Oh, no. What will you do?

Well, I'm not going back to school, not at my age.

So I'm all packed up. I'm going to see my sister,

and I'll decide from there what to do.

Now, what's all this about the children leaving?

To New York to work at a big law firm.

Well, land sakes! That boy is going to be famous yet!

Hester-sue, if you had a job offer,

would you take it?

I sure would.

Well, you've got one,

working here in the restaurant with me.

What do you say?

Caroline, I would love it.

When can you get here?

Is tomorrow too soon?

Tomorrow is perfect!

Well, then, I'll see you tomorrow.

Listen, never mind the call to the children.

I'll say good-bye in person.

How is she, doc?

She's in a deep depression.

I'm worried about her, nels.

Yeah, I know. So am I.

I don't know what to do.

She asked me for some sleeping powders.

Yeah, she didn't sleep at all last night.

I don't want to give them to her.

As depressed as she is, the powders would only make her feel worse.

Yeah. She's been talking

about how she has nothing to live for.

I know.

This may be a premature suggestion,

but have you ever given any thought to...

Adopting a child?

No.

Well, you're both healthy.

You're in a good position financially.

At your age, I wouldn't recommend an infant,

but orphanages are filled with girls

9, 10 years old.

Only a thought.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Thanks, doc.

I'll drop by tomorrow.

Thank you.

A little girl.

A little girl.

Good-bye, darling.

Now, you write to me.

I will.

I'm going to miss you.

I'll miss you, too.

And I'll use my braille writer

so Adam can't read my letters.

Ok.

Don't you go letting those city folks

change you too much, all right?

I won't. I'll...

I'll eat with my shoes off at least once a week.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I won't cry,

and I won't say good-bye.

I love you, ma.

Well...

At least I won't say good-bye.

Get along now. You got 2,001 miles to go.

Driver: Git! Hyah!

Hester-sue: Well, why don't we all go to the restaurant

and have some lemonade, ok?

That sounds good. Come on, everybody.

Ha. I tried.

You did real good. Come on.

Charles.

Why don't you go on ahead. I'll catch up.

Yeah, doc.

I was talking to nels in the office

and I just didn't watch the time.

I wanted to say good-bye to Adam and Mary.

That's all right, they'll understand.

How is nels getting along?

He's feeling down, Charles.

And the missis?

She won't get out of bed, and I'm concerned about her.

I talked to nels about adopting.

That's a good idea.

Yeah, but when he told Harriet about it, she said no.

Listen, as soon as school's out,

I'll take Cassandra over there.

Might be a good idea if she spent a little time with her,

being as she's adopted, all right?

Well, that might work.

Yeah, I'll tell nels you'll be dropping by.

All right. Take care.

Come in.

Oh! Charles.

- Mrs. Oleson. - Hello.

I hope you weren't sleeping.

No, no, no.

I was just looking at a picture of Nellie.

It was taken when she was 10 years old.

Wasn't she a lovely child?

- Just beautiful. - Yes.

Hello, Mrs. Oleson.

Oh, Cassandra.

Oh, I didn't see you.

Cassandra heard you weren't feeling too well,

and she just wanted to come over and visit you.

Ohh.

How nice.

Huh.

What a sweet little girl.

Want to come over here and sit by me?

I have a storybook here.

I'll read it to you if you like.

Well, I think that would be very nice.

Charles: I've got to get back to the mill.

All right, Charles. You run along.

We'll be fine.

I just have about an hour's work.

I'll pick you up then.

Cassandra: Yes, sir.

What kind of story do you like, happy or sad?

Ah, I don't know.

What kind do you like?

Well, when I'm sad, I like real, real sad stories,

because then I don't seem to feel so sad myself.

Oh! I never thought of it that way before.

Well, why don't you read me a real, real sad story?

All right.

"Once upon a time,

"in a land far, far away,

there lived a lonely old man."

Mr. Gantly, I'll see what I can do. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Hey, Charles, how much longer?

I'd say about another 20 minutes.

That's good. Old man gantly won't leave the office

until he sees his order being loaded up on the wagon.

Most impatient man I've ever seen.

I guess when you get to be his age,

you figure you haven't got enough time left

to sit around waiting for an order.

Nels: Charles!

Nels, is something wrong?

I don't think so.

Harriet suddenly wanted to take a bath and wash her hair.

First time she's been out of that bed in 2 weeks.

Well, that's something, huh?

Yeah, well, I've got to get back, get her some more hot water.

Thanks again, Charles.

Cassandra...

I love you.

Cassandra, what did you say to Mrs. Oleson

to get her acting like that?

She just asked me if I liked living with you and ma,

and I told her that I loved you like you were my real folks.

Next thing I knew, she was jumping around yelling for hot water.

Harriet, I've got some more warm water.

Well, bring it on in, for heaven's sake.

Well? Pour it over my head

so I can get the soap out!

Yes, my dear.

Aah!

Nels! Aah!

You boiled my head!

Oh, I'm sorry.

You're sorry? Oh, for heaven's sake,

I asked you to do one simple thing for me...

Ha ha ha!

What's so funny?

Nothing.

Ohh! Oh...

Well, what are you laughing at, then?

You! You're yelling at me.

You're your old self again, and I love you.

Nels.

You know what?

I want to go to sleepy eye tomorrow

to one of the orphanages.

- You do? - Uh-huh.

Just to look around, mind you.

Oh, yes, of course. Of course.

I love you.

Well, bring me some warm water, then.

Yes, my dear.

And don't boil it this time.

Made me feel as if I was standing

in front of notre dame cathedral

and you were quasimodo.

Yes. Urrr...

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Nels!

May I speak to you alone, Mr. Case?

Certainly. Uh, miss Mason.

All right, children. Back to your studies.

Beautiful children, aren't they?

Yes. Yes.

They certainly are.

I'm sorry, Mr. Case.

I, uh, I don't know what it is, but...

All the way here, I kept thinking,

ooh, wouldn't it be wonderful

to have a little girl again?

But... well, they're just not my Nellie.

Harriet, you can't expect to find

someone exactly like Nellie.

I know that, nels.

Well, that's just it.

There'll never be another Nellie again.

Oh, Mr. Case,

you should have known her

when she was a little girl.

Oh, she was a...

Oh, she was...

A tyrant.

A what?

Oh, I said, uh... Talent.

Talent... singing, piano.

I'll never forget.

Oh, ahh... Ha ha.

And beautiful.

Oh!

So beautiful!

Well, Mrs. Oleson, as your husband said,

there's no way you're going to find

an exact duplicate of your daughter,

and if that's what you're looking for,

I'm afraid that you'll be disappointed.

Yes, I'm afraid that you're right.

Well, I'm very sorry for having taken up your time.

Harriet, there are some beautiful children here.

I know, nels, but I can't. I just can't.

I'll walk you out.

Might I suggest that you wait a while, think it over,

and then perhaps in 3 or 4 weeks,

you could come back and become better acquainted with the children.

Adoption is not anything, of course...

Oh, good heavens, what was that?

Don't be alarmed.

Girl: I hate you! I hate all of you!

That is Nancy.

We are trying to have her moved to the facility in Minneapolis.

She's an incorrigible child, and we just can't handle her.

Well, she's managed to pull off another chair leg.

Good heavens.

Oh, the windows. Not again.

Harriet: Oh, my goodness!

Case: Stop her!

I'll try!

That's her.

That's who?

That's my Nellie.

Oh! Stop her, nels!

Get her, nels!

Harriet: Nels, get her! Get her!

Nels! Where are you?

Get out!

Harriet: Stop her, nels! Stop her!

I'm trying! I'm trying!

Oh, for heaven's sake, get up, nels!

Get her, nels!

Help! There's a man chasing me.

What kind of man are you?

Please, I'm trying to catch a little girl.

Thanks!

Gotcha!

Aah!

Oh! Ahh! Get her, nels!

Yes, my love.

Oh, nels! For heaven's sakes,

what are you doing sitting there? We've got to find her!

I have found her.

Where? Where? Where is she?

In the box. She's in the box.

Ohh.

Nancy.

Oh, Nancy. This is your new mommy.

Oh, honey. Ha ha!

Oh, I wuv you...

Aah!

I was wrong, Harriet.

There is another child exactly like Nellie.

Ohh... she still won't eat?

No.

Oh... poor dear.

Oh, she must be starving.

Oh... well, we'll just fatten her up when we get her home.

Mrs. Oleson, I know how you've taken to this child,

and I would love to see her find

a home with you... For many reasons...

The most important being that I don't believe

anybody else would adopt her the way she's acting now.

Well, I think she's perfect.

With the right dresses and big bows in her hair...

Mrs. Oleson, you have to face the fact

that the child does not want to be adopted.

Now, I don't know her reasons, but she doesn't,

and we can't force her to go with you.

Why not?

Because it wouldn't do any good. She'd run away.

But I want her!

Harriet, be reasonable.

This child is... Is...

Harriet: Is what?

I believe a kind word for her is "impossible."

Oh, men!

Why, you just don't understand little girls.

Miss Mason: Mrs. Oleson, I must be honest.

I don't understand either.

In the 4 weeks that Nancy's been here,

she has set fire to her bed,

broken more windows than I can count,

poured plaster into the indoor plumbing,

and bitten half the children in the orphanage.

Girls will be girls.

Nels: Harriet, the expression is "boys will be boys."

Only in this case, it should be

"monsters will be monsters."

Harriet, I don't understand you.

With all of these children in the orphanage,

why her?

I don't know.

But I want her.

I give up.

Mrs. Oleson, the fact still remains

that if Nancy doesn't want to go with you by tomorrow morning,

we have to proceed as planned and send her

to the facility in Minneapolis.

All right. All right.

I will make her change her mind.

Yes.

I will get her to eat, too.

She's wasting her time.

That child will not go with her.

I only hope you're right.

Come on, honey, open the door.

Nancy?

Nancy, honey, please.

Please, pretty please,

with cream and sugar on top, huh?

Nancy?

All right, Nancy.

If you won't open the door,

you're going to have to listen to me.

You know, I had a little girl once,

oh, very much like you.

She was... Uh...

Different from the rest of the children,

and the little girls hated her.

They were so jealous because she had, ooh,

such pretty clothes,

great, big, lovely dollies.

I bought them from Paris.

The little boys didn't like her very much either.

I always told her, of course, that

it was because she was too mature for them.

But that wasn't the truth.

I'm going to tell you something, Nancy...

Something I have never, ever told anyone

ever before, not even my husband.

Children hated my... My little Nellie

because she was... Mean and spoiled,

conniving.

I understood that.

Oh, I understood that

because I was exactly the same way when I was a child.

So, you see, I do understand you, Nancy,

and you don't have to change.

I'll love you just the way you are.

And I'll spoil you with beautiful dresses

and lovely big dolls

and all the candy that you can eat.

And maybe...

Maybe someday...

Maybe you'll love me, too.

Please, Nancy.

Please give me a chance.

Give me a chance to be your mother.

Nancy?

Honey?

Nancy?

Mother?

My Nancy.

I'm going to go and get your brother Willie.

Oh, ho ho ho! He's gonna be so surprised!

- Mmm! - Willie!

Willie? Are you home?

Willie... oh. Oh, you are home.

Oh, for heaven's sake, will you stop eating!

Now, come on. Come on. Come on into the living room.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Mother has a surprise for you. Ha ha!

Oh, Willie, I want you to say hello to Nancy.

Your new sister.

For goodness sakes, I told you not to put so much food in your mouth.

Now say hello to Nancy.

- This is my surprise? - Uh-huh.

We finally got Nellie married and out of the house,

and you bring home another one.

For heaven's sakes, mind your manners.

He didn't mean that, dearest.

I did too.

- Willie, what... - I did too mean it.

- Willie, now... - oh, nels...

Nels, just let him go.

He's just jealous of my new baby girl.

He'll get over it.

And you'll get along wonderfully well with Willie,

won't you, my love?

Of course I will, mother.

Good morning.

Laura: All right, class. Everybody take your seats.

Come on.

Albert, will you collect the homework assignments, please?

Yeah.

Now, today we're going to continue our study

in weights and measures.

Who can tell me how many pounds there are...

Harriet: Willie! Good morning... oh.

Good morning, Mrs. Oleson.

I'm terribly sorry that we're late.

Come along, darling.

Come along, darling.

It's all right, precious.

Nothing's going to happen to you.

She's so... Shy.

Everybody, I want you to meet

my newly adopted daughter... Nancy.

Is something wrong, Laura?

Uh...

No.

It's... it's just that...

Ha ha ha ha!

Yes, I know.

She looks like my Nellie.

Yes.

Welcome to our class, Nancy.

Class, why don't we all say welcome, nel... Nancy?

Class: Welcome, Nancy.

I'd like some water.

Certainly. Cassandra, will you show Nancy where the pump is?

Yes, ma'am. Come on. It's out back.

Harriet: Oh, darling,

don't get your lovely dress wet.

It's over here.

Who's that boy sitting next to you?

My brother Albert.

Do you always sit next to him?

Yes.

I want your seat, then.

What?

Are you deaf? I said I want your seat!

Well, you can't have it.

You'd better give it to me if you don't want trouble.

I don't have to, and you don't scare me.

Have it your own way.

Stop it! Stop it!

What are you doing?

You're hurting me!

What are you doing?

Stop it, you two!

Let go of my daughter!

Let go of her! Oh!

She threw mud on me and tore my dress.

That's not true!

It is true.

Stop it, both of you!

Now, Nancy, what happened?

I told you.

That's not true.

All of a sudden, she threw mud on herself

and ripped her dress.

Well, that's ridiculous. I've never heard of any such thing.

Why would she throw mud on herself and rip her own dress?

She said she wanted a dress like this

but she was too poor.

That's when she attacked me.

What do you intend to do about this?

Well, this isn't like Cassandra,

and it is one child's word against another.

Nancy: You don't believe me.

I knew you wouldn't.

I believe you.

Mrs. Wilder, the fact that Cassandra is your adopted sister

obviously has prejudiced you in this situation.

Now, does it make sense to you

that this child would rip her own dress?

Well, no, it doesn't, but...

Harriet: Well, all right, then.

I won't make your parents pay for the damage

that's done to this dress,

but I do insist that Cassandra be disciplined.

But I didn't do anything!

No one believes me. They hate me!

Oh! Now you see what you've done?

This child has been through so much already, and now this.

It's all right, darling. It's all right.

Come here, Cassandra.

Harriet: Now, darling, darling. It's all right.

You're telling the truth, aren't you?

Yes, ma'am.

Harriet: Oh, my baby, precious.

That girl's obviously got some emotional problems.

Well, whatever her problems are,

we have to help her in whatever way we can.

Maybe if she thought I could trust her,

well, maybe then she'd be more open with me.

Do you know what I mean?

Yes, but I didn't do it.

I know that, but look at her.

You want me to take the blame,

don't you?

Just this once.

Now, I don't know why she did what she did,

but maybe it'll help me get through to her, ok?

I feel sorry for her, too.

All right.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

Well, I should hope so.

Now I think you should just stand in the corner and think this over.

Mrs. Oleson, I don't think that's necessary.

Oh! Well, if it were my Willie,

he would be in the corner fast enough.

This child has just confessed.

She confessed because I to...

It's all right.

I'll stand in the corner.

Oh, there, darling,

it's all over now.

Come, we'll go home and change your dress.

No need. I'm fine now.

And I don't want to miss any more of the class.

Oh, all right.

All right, then.

That's my brave little girl.

Have a nice day, mother.

Yes, darling, I will.

Good day, Mrs. Wilder.

Come along, Nancy.

I couldn't believe it when I saw the child.

She looked exactly like Nellie.

Yeah, in more ways than one.

She looks like her, and she's just as mean as Nellie was.

Now, people change.

You know how Nellie is now.

Well, sure, after she met percival and got married.

I'm sure Nancy's going to get married very shortly...

Probably 10, 12 years.

That's something to look forward to.

Albert, you know how it is with orphaned children.

They have a lot of pain bottled up inside them.

You know, all I bet that little girl needs

is a lot of love and attention.

That's right. Who'd like to say grace?

Cassandra: I would.

All right. I think it would be nice

if you remembered Nancy in the blessing.

Do I have to?

No, you don't have to.

But I think it'd be nice if you did.

Yes, ma'am.

Dear lord, thank you for all your blessings and your love.

Please watch over my family and give US strength,

and, lord, you probably know there's a new girl in school.

Her name is Nancy.

Please help her to change and be nice.

I know it won't be easy, lord,

so if she doesn't change, do what you think is best.

That's about it. Thank you. Amen.

Caroline: Amen.

Charles: Amen.

Laura: All right, class, time's up.

You can leave your tests on your desks.

I'll collect them after you leave.

Willie, I said time's up.

Put your pencil down.

Yes, ma'am.

Now, before you all leave for the day,

I want you to remember that singing auditions

for the school pageant are on Friday,

and I expect all the book reports

on my desk Monday morning.

She has a wonderful voice.

Belinda.
