Laura, voice-over: IT WAS THE SPRING OF 1887.

IT HAD BEEN A HARD WINTER FOR EVERYONE,

ESPECIALLY FOR PA.

HE HAD TO SELL THE FARM AND MOVE TO WHERE HE COULD FIND WORK.

HE SETTLED THE FAMILY IN BURR OAK, IOWA.

PA CAME BACK TO GET THE LAST OF THE FAMILY'S THINGS.

PA PRETENDED THAT MOVING ON WOULD BE A GREAT THING FOR THE FAMILY,

BUT I KNEW HOW HE LOVED THE LITTLE HOUSE ON PLUM CREEK,

AND I KNEW HOW MUCH HE WAS HURTING INSIDE.

SARAH BAKED YOU SOME BISCUITS FOR YOUR TRIP BACK.

OH, THAT'S VERY KIND. THANK YOU.

WISH YOU COULD STAY FOR SUPPER WITH US.

I'D LIKE TO, BUT I GOT A LONG TRIP BACK.

I SHOULD BE GETTING STARTED.

MIND IF I TAKE ONE MORE LAST LOOK IN THE HOUSE?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

NO.

Laura: I REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN.

I WAS SO EXCITED TO SLEEP UP IN THE LOFT...

WITH MY VERY OWN WINDOW.

YEAH, I REMEMBER IT, TOO.

SUCH A BABY THEN.

WITH BIG BUCKTEETH.

YEAH.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE THE TEARS FROM ME, PA.

GOOD TIMES HERE.

GOOD TIMES.

I KNOW.

JASON, GIVE THAT BACK--NOW!

YOU WANT IT? YOU GOT TO GET IT.

Man: BOYS, THAT'S ENOUGH.

JASON, JEB, YOU HEARD ME.

WELL, HE TOOK MY PENCIL BOX!

'CAUSE HE BROKE MY SLATE!

WASN'T ON PURPOSE!

IT WAS TOO!

Man: WE'LL DISCUSS WHOSE FAULT IT WAS LATER.

RIGHT NOW, JASON, GIVE JEB BACK THE BOX.

YES, SIR.

Man: NOW, YOU BOTH WAIT OUTSIDE.

I'M SORRY. I TRIED TO STOP THEM BEFORE THEY RAN IN.

OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

JOHN AND SARAH CARTER, THIS IS MY DAUGHTER LAURA WILDER.

WE MET OUTSIDE.

IN THAT CASE, I BETTER LET YOU GET BACK TO MOVING IN.

TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU LIKE.

I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY LEAVING A PLACE.

IT ISN'T, BUT I HAVE TO BE ON MY WAY.

YOU'VE BEEN MOST KIND. THANKS A LOT.

WE'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE PLACE.

I KNOW YOU WILL.

I'LL GIVE YOU A RIDE HOME.

IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU BOTH.

LIKEWISE. WE'LL BE SEEING EACH OTHER, I'M SURE.

BYE. GOOD LUCK.

THANK YOU.

HE WAS CRYING WHEN WE CAME IN.

I KNOW.

PROMISE ME SOMETHING.

IF I CAN.

PROMISE ME WE'LL NEVER MOVE AGAIN.

I PROMISE.

THEY'RE NICE PEOPLE, THE CARTERS.

THAT THEY WERE.

GOOD BLACKSMITH. DID A FINE JOB ON THE TEAM.

I'M SURE HE IS.

THE MISSIS WAS TELLING ME SHE'S GOING TO START A PAPER IN WALNUT GROVE.

SO I HEARD.

THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR THE TOWN-- PAPER ALL ITS OWN.

NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE A DAY A WOMAN WOULD BE RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.

TIMES ARE CHANGING.

THAT THEY ARE.

YOU COULD HAVE THEM OVER THE HOUSE, MAKE THEM FEEL WELCOME.

I SUPPOSE.

WHAT'S WRONG?

NOTHING.

COME ON. I'M YOUR PA, REMEMBER?

I CAN TELL WHEN SOMETHING'S BOTHERING YOU.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE CARTERS?

I KNOW IT SOUNDS SILLY...

BUT I GREW UP IN THAT HOUSE,

AND SEEING THEM ALL MOVED IN...

[SIGHS] IT JUST SORT OF BOTHERED ME.

YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S SILLY.

BUT I UNDERSTAND IT.

YOU DO?

WELL, SURE, I DO.

I WATCHED YOU GROW UP IN THAT HOUSE, REMEMBER?

COME IN FOR A FEW MINUTES.

I REALLY SHOULD BE STARTING BACK NOW.

OH, JUST A LITTLE WHILE.

ALL RIGHT. ONE CUP OF COFFEE.

THEN I'LL BE ON MY WAY.

WHERE'S ALMANZO?

HE'S PROBABLY IN THE BEDROOM WITH ROSE. I'LL GET HIM.

I'LL START THE COFFEE.

SURPRISE! SURPRISE!

[LAUGHTER]

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT? WE HIDE OUT IN HERE

LIKE A BUNCH OF CHURCH MICE,

WAITING TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO AN OLD FRIEND,

AND ALL HE CAN SAY IS, "WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT?"

THEY HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

RIGHT IN THIS BOX.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS?

GO ON, OPEN IT.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL OPEN IT.

LOOK AT THAT.

WELL, WE WANTED TO GET YOU A GOING-AWAY PRESENT.

WHEN WE HEARD THAT YOU WERE GOING TO WORK

IN A FINE MEN'S STORE IN THE BIG CITY,

WE FIGURED A NEW SUIT MIGHT COME IN HANDY.

YOU CAN'T SELL FANCY DUDS WHEN YOU LOOK LIKE YOU JUST PLOWED A FURROW.

DO YOU LIKE IT?

IT'S A FINE SUIT.

YEAH.

SORRY.

DON'T BE.

JUST THAT I MADE SO MANY FRIENDS HERE.

BEST FRIENDS I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.

IT'S HARD LEAVING THEM.

YOU TALK LIKE WE AIN'T NEVER GONNA SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN.

WE WILL.

I'M KIND OF LIKE A BAD PENNY-- ALWAYS TURN UP.

YOU WATCH OVER MY FAMILY FOR ME.

YOU KNOW I WILL.

PROUD YOU ASKED ME.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET BACK INSIDE THERE AND TRY YOUR NEW SUIT ON.

[HARMONICA AND ACCORDION PLAYING]

[LAUGHTER AND SHOUTING]

Laura, voice-over: PA STAYED LONG INTO THE NIGHT,

DANCING AND LAUGHING.

I COULD SEE THE TEARS BEHIND HIS EYES,

FOR HE KNEW IT WOULD BE A LONG TIME

BEFORE HE WOULD SEE HIS FRIENDS AGAIN.

MAY I? MAY I?

[LAUGHTER]

MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

ALL RIGHT, CLASS, TAKE YOUR SEATS.

I KNOW IT'S THE FIRST DAY, AND YOU'RE ALL EXCITED,

BUT YOU MUST TAKE YOUR SEATS.

NOW, AS YOU ALL KNOW,

I WILL NO LONGER BE TEACHING HERE IN WALNUT GROVE.

BUT I WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR TUTORING AFTER SCHOOL FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS IT.

AND NOW I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU ALL

TO YOUR NEW TEACHER, MISS ETTA PLUM.

MISS PLUM.

THANK YOU, MRS. WILDER.

GOOD MORNING, CLASS.

GOOD MORNING, MISS PLUM.

I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN TO A NUMBER OF YOU THIS MORNING,

AND I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT MRS. WILDER,

AND I'LL DO MY BEST TO TRY TO EARN

THE KIND OF RESPECT AND AFFECTION THAT YOU HAVE FOR MRS. WILDER.

NOW, I BELIEVE THAT WILLIE AND NANCY OLESON HAVE A PRESENTATION TO MAKE.

MISS PLUM, I DID ALL THE ARTWORK ON THIS.

YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT I'M THE BEST ARTIST IN THE CLASS,

AND I NEVER RECEIVE LESS THAN AN "E" FOR EXCELLENCE ON MY REPORT CARD.

AND I'D ALSO LIKE YOU TO KNOW--

NANCY, BE QUIET.

MRS. WILDER, WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO GIVE YOU

ON YOUR LAST DAY WITH US,

AND...WELL, WE DECIDED TO GIVE YOU THIS.

IT'S GOT ALL OF OUR NAMES ON IT SO YOU WON'T FORGET US.

I KNOW I'VE BEEN A LOT OF TROUBLE TO YOU,

AND AT FIRST I DIDN'T LIKE THE IDEA OF YOU TEACHING

AND TELLING ME WHAT TO DO,

BUT I KNOW YOU DID IT 'CAUSE YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT ME.

AND I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ALL CARE ABOUT YOU.

HERE.

THANK YOU, WILLIE.

I THOUGHT I WAS PREPARED FOR TODAY,

BUT, AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M NOT.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS.

I'LL TREASURE IT FOREVER.

AND HAVE NO FEAR...

'CAUSE I'LL NEVER FORGET ANY OF YOU.

YOU ALL MEAN A GREAT DEAL TO ME.

MISS PLUM IS YOUR TEACHER NOW,

AND I KNOW YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DO YOUR BEST

AND WORK HARD AND MAKE ME PROUD.

MRS. WILDER?

ONCE MORE... FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE.

WILLIE... IN THE CORNER.

YES, MA'AM.

GOOD LUCK.

OK.

NOW, YOU JUST HOLD STILL FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES.

[COOS]

DON'T BE BLAMING ME.

I'M NOT THE ONE WHO MESSED. YOU ARE.

THERE YOU GO-- WARM AND DRY.

EW!

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOUR MA DECIDED TO NAME YOU ROSE.

[COOING]

HOW'D IT GO?

FINE.

YOU DON'T LOOK FINE.

IT WAS HARD...

HARDER THAN I THOUGHT.

OH, I KNEW IT WOULD BE.

OH, MANLY...

I KNOW, I KNOW, BUT IT HAD TO BE.

YOU GOT THE BABY NOW.

I KNOW.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT TOMORROW.

[CHUCKLES]

AND YOU'LL STILL BE TEACHING HERE,

AND YOU'LL SEE THE WHOLE BROOD IN CHURCH ON SUNDAY.

IT'S LIKE THEY'RE ALL MY OWN.

I KNOW.

ALTHOUGH I MUST SAY, I'M VERY GLAD

THAT NANCY OLESON ISN'T REALLY OURS.

HA HA!

I AGREE WITH YOU.

WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

OH. ROSE'S.

ROSES?

ROSE'S DIAPER. I JUST CHANGED HER.

GIVE ME THAT. I'LL GO WASH IT OUT.

OH, I ALMOST FORGOT--

THERE'S A LETTER FOR YOU FROM YOUR BROTHER ROYAL.

IT'S IN MY FOLDER.

OH. IT'S ABOUT TIME.

IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

LAURA? LAURA!

WHAT ON EARTH IS IT?

GUESS! YOU'LL NEVER GUESS!

WELL, IF I'LL NEVER GUESS, WHAT'S THE POINT IN GUESSING?

ROYAL IS COMING FOR A VISIT, AND HE'S BRINGING HIS DAUGHTER JENNY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

THEY'RE COMING ON THE 14th.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE HERE IN ABOUT 3 DAYS.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN 10 YEARS.

WHERE ON EARTH ARE WE GOING TO PUT THEM?

YOU'RE RIGHT. WHY DIDN'T I ADD THAT EXTRA ROOM LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT?

WELL, YOU JUST HAVEN'T HAD TIME.

YOU'RE RIGHT. WELL, I'M JUST GOING TO

HAVE TO MAKE THE TIME RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE GONNA TRY AND BUILD A ROOM IN 3 DAYS?

I'M NOT GONNA TRY. I'M GONNA DO IT!

I'LL NOT HAVE MY BROTHER SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR IN THE LIVING ROOM.

I GOT TO GET TO TOWN AND GET SOME LUMBER.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. MY BROTHER'S COMING FOR A VISIT!

[HAMMERING]

BETH, THAT COACH SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE 20 MINUTES AGO.

MANZO, THE STAGE IS ALWAYS LATE, AND YOU KNOW IT.

NOW, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ROYAL FOR 10 YEARS.

I DON'T THINK ANOTHER 10 MINUTES IS GONNA HURT ANYTHING.

I KNOW. IT'S JUST THAT I-- THERE IT IS!

JENNY?

UNCLE MANZO?

LAND SAKES! THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU,

YOU WERE KNEE-HIGH TO A GRASSHOPPER.

LOOK AT YOU!

ROYAL?

MANZO.

BEEN A LONG TIME.

TOO LONG, BROTHER.

ROYAL, JENNY, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET MY WIFE LAURA

AND OUR LITTLE BABY ROSE.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO FINALLY MEET YOU BOTH.

PLEASURE'S MINE.

Jenny: LIKEWISE, MA'AM.

WELL, YOU MUST BE AWFUL TIRED AFTER YOUR LONG TRIP.

NOW, WHY DON'T YOU GO GET IN MY RIG, AND I'LL GET THE BAGS?

THANK YOU. IT'S A ROUGH TRIP.

COME ALONG, JENNY.

I'LL BE RIGHT ALONG.

AFTER MY WIFE DIED,

THINGS JUST SORT OF FELL APART FOR ME FOR A WHILE.

JUST SAT AROUND FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF.

STOPPED WORKING.

HADN'T BEEN FOR JENNY HERE,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE BECOME OF ME.

SHE JUST STEPPED RIGHT IN, TAKING CARE OF ME.

SHE'S QUITE A LADY.

OH, PA.

DON'T BE SHY ABOUT TAKING A COMPLIMENT FROM YOUR PA.

HE DOESN'T HAND THEM OUT LIGHTLY.

I GREW UP WITH HIM. I KNOW. HA HA!

HOW LONG CAN YOU STAY?

WELL, I'M NOT REAL SURE.

JENNY AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT SOME.

THERE'S A LOT OF SAD MEMORIES.

WE WERE THINKING ABOUT MAYBE MOVING HERE FOR GOOD.

WELL, ROYAL, THAT'S WONDERFUL.

THERE ARE A LOT OF FINE FOLKS--

HOLD ON, BABY BROTHER.

I SAID WE'RE JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.

I HAVE TO FIND A PLACE TO LIVE.

WELL, WE GOT THE EXTRA ROOM.

OH, NO. I APPRECIATE YOU LETTING US STAY HERE NOW,

BUT, UH, I DON'T THINK A YOUNG MARRIED COUPLE NEEDS COMPANY ALL THE TIME.

YEAH. MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

WHAT ABOUT JENNY'S SCHOOLING?

WELL, I HADN'T REALLY THOUGHT TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT.

HMM. WELL, THE NEW YEAR STARTED LAST WEEK,

AND IF YOU'RE GONNA STAY, YOU SHOULD GET ENROLLED NOW.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO START RIGHT AWAY?

YES, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT!

Laura: I'D BE GLAD TO TAKE HER INTO TOWN TOMORROW.

WELL, THAT'S VERY KIND OF YOU.

NOT AT ALL. IT WOULD BE MY PLEASURE.

WELL, NOW, AS SOON AS I GET MY STRENGTH BACK,

I'M GONNA START LOOKING FOR SOME WORK.

KIND OF LET MYSELF GO THIS PAST YEAR.

YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA

TO SEE DOC BAKER, HAVE A CHECKUP.

NO, NO. IT'S NOT NECESSARY.

ALL I NEED IS TO START EATING PROPER AGAIN.

YOU GET OLD VERY FAST SITTING IN A ROCKER.

WELL, THAT'S ALL BEHIND YOU NOW.

BETH'S COOKING WILL FATTEN YOU UP REAL FAST,

AND I'LL SEE TO IT YOU DON'T SPEND TOO MUCH TIME A-ROCKING.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS, NICE AND EASY NOW,

DON'T LET IT GET TO SWINGING.

GO ON, NICE AND STEADY, NICE AND STEADY.

THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT.

AH, YOU'RE DOING GOOD WORK.

DON'T LET IT GET TURNED ON US.

MORNING, MR. EDWARDS.

GOOD MORNING, HALF-PINT.

I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET ALMANZO'S NIECE JENNY WILDER.

ISAIAH EDWARDS.

PLEASURE, MA'AM.

LIKEWISE.

[SNIFFS]

LEMON VERBENA.

ANY LADY THAT WEARS LEMON VERBENA IS A FRIEND OF MINE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

MRS. CARTER'S NEW PRINTING PRESS.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, ISN'T IT?

WALNUT GROVE'S GONNA HAVE ITS OWN NEWSPAPER.

RUN BY A WOMAN NO LESS.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

OH, NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL. NOPE.

TIMES ARE CHANGING.

SURE ARE.

SAD, AIN'T IT?

COME ON, JENNY. WE BEST GET YOU ENROLLED IN SCHOOL.

PLEASURE MEETING YOU.

SAY, IF YOU EVER WANT TO LEARN HOW TO SPIT, YOU COME SEE ME.

SPIT?

I'LL EXPLAIN IT TO YOU ON THE WAY.

SEE YOU LATER!

OH, GOOD MORNING, LAURA, JENNY.

MORNING, MRS. OLESON.

HOW DID THAT WOMAN KNOW MY NAME?

THAT'S MRS. OLESON.

SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN WALNUT GROVE,

AND WHAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW, SHE MAKES UP.

MIND, YOU DON'T WANT TO SCRATCH THE PAINT.

YOO-HOO, MR. EDWARDS!

YOO-HOO YOURSELF.

ISN'T IT EXCITING, HAVING A NEWSPAPER?

WELL, IT IS IF YOU CAN READ.

[SPITS]

EW.

OH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

SEE, IF I SWALLOW THEM JUICES, IT MAKES ME BELCH SOMETHING AWFUL.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT!

WHERE'S MRS. CARTER?

UPSTAIRS IN THE OFFICE.

OH. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. [SPITS]

UGH.

THAT WOMAN WOULD MAKE A TRAIN TAKE A DIRT ROAD.

HOW'S IT LOOK?

OH, IT LOOKS JUST FINE.

WE'LL GET THE REST OF YOUR FURNITURE.

THANK YOU.

EXCUSE ME.

HEAVENS.

MRS. CARTER?

OH! YES. CAN I HELP YOU?

OH, HEAVEN SAKES, YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME.

I'M HURT. I'M MRS. OLESON.

WE MET IN THE CHURCH.

OH! OH, CERTAINLY. MRS. OLESON!

I'M SO SORRY.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I JUST THOUGHT I'D COME OVER AND OFFER MY SERVICES.

WELL, I USED TO DABBLE IN THE NEWSPAPER BUSINESS MYSELF.

OH, REALLY?

OH, YES, YES, YES.

I HAD MY OWN COLUMN-- "HARRIET'S HAPPENINGS."

OH, IS THAT A FACT?

OH, YES, YES, YES.

COURSE, I HAVE A VERY BUSY SCHEDULE,

WITH THE STORE AND THE RESTAURANT,

BUT I THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS YOU MIGHT NEED SOME HELP,

AND, WELL, WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR, HUH?

WELL, THAT'S SO TRUE.

WHAT KIND OF HELP?

WELL, UH...

"HARRIET'S HAPPENINGS."

YOU SEE, BELIEVE ME,

I AM THE ONE THAT KNOWS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS TOWN.

OH! I HAVE A VERY JUICY BIT OF GOSSIP.

HOT OFF THE LIPS OF MISS FOSTER.

DON'T YOU LOVE THAT, THAT EXPRESSION "HOT OFF"?

IT'S JUST SUCH NEWSPAPER TALK.

WELL, MRS. OLESON,

I'M AFRAID THERE'S NO ROOM IN MY PAPER FOR A GOSSIP COLUMN.

NO GOSSIP?

NO.

WELL, WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU GOING TO PUT INTO THE PAPER?

NEWS.

NEWS?! WELL, HOW DULL!

Man: WHERE DO YOU WANT THIS?

OH.

RIGHT OVER HERE, THANK YOU.

RIGHT AGAINST THE WALL.

RIGHT THERE, THANK YOU.

WE'LL GET THE REST OF THIS.

THANK YOU.

MRS. CARTER.

PLEASE CALL ME SARAH.

OH! SARAH.

ISN'T THERE SOMETHING THAT I COULD DO ON THE PAPER?

ONLY IF YOU WERE A PUPPY.

WHAT?

MRS. OLESON.

OH, PLEASE. CALL ME HARRIET.

HARRIET.

I'M AFRAID THAT ASIDE FROM A FEW ADS,

THE PAPER WILL CONSIST OF NEWS STORIES AND THE WEATHER.

SO YOU SEE--

THE WEATHER! BUT I COULD DO THE WEATHER.

IT'S REALLY NOT THAT--

PLEASE! OH, I CAN JUST SEE IT NOW.

"HARRIET'S FORECAST."

HA HA! AND I HAVE A FARMER'S ALMANAC AT HOME,

SO IT WILL SAVE YOU THE TROUBLE OF LOOKING IT UP.

THAT MAY BE TRUE, BUT--

THAT'S JUST WONDERFUL!

I'LL GET STARTED ON IT RIGHT AWAY. YES.

"HARRIET'S FORECAST." NO, WAIT!

I'VE GOT IT! "HURRICANE HARRIET PREDICTS."

OH, THAT'S--NO! OH!

OH! "HARRIET'S WEATHER OR NOT."

HA HA HA! I LOVE IT!

BYE!

HEE HEE!

GOOD-BYE.

CLASS, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET A NEW STUDENT-- JENNY WILDER.

LET'S ALL WELCOME HER.

Class: HELLO, JENNY.

TAKE THESE BOOKS AND SIT RIGHT OVER THERE.

THANK YOU.

OH, SHE'LL BE FINE.

I BETTER GET GOING BEFORE I FORGET MYSELF

AND SEND WILLIE TO THE CORNER.

BYE-BYE.

BYE.

Miss Plum: LET'S OPEN OUR BOOKS TO PAGE 31.

JEB, YOU MAY BEGIN.

JEB.

JEB CARTER.

HUH?

"YES, MISS PLUM," NOT "HUH?"

OH, YES, MISS PLUM. WHAT?

YOUR READER, PAGE 31.

OH. YES, MA'AM.

"THE BEAVER.

"THE BEAVER IS FOUND CHIEFLY IN NORTH AMERICA.

"IT IS ABOUT 3 1/2 FEET LONG

"INCLUDING THE FLAT, PADDLE-SHAPED TAIL,

WHICH IS A FOOT IN LENGTH."

ALMANZO! THE BABY'S CRYING.

DADBURNIT!

HOW'S A MAN SUPPOSED TO GET A DAY'S WORK DONE AROUND HERE

WHEN HE'S GOT TO BE A MOTHER, TOO?

I COULD HAVE TAKEN JENNY INTO TOWN.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. BETH SHOULD HAVE BEEN HOME BY NOW.

I GUARANTEE YOU SHE STOPPED TO CHEW THE FAT WITH HESTER SUE.

WELL, HERE, LET ME TAKE OVER FOR YOU.

DON'T OVERDO IT, NOW.

I'M THE ONE USED TO BEND YOU OVER MY KNEE, REMEMBER?

YOU GO IN AND CHANGE THE BABY, MA.

YEAH! HA HA!

HAS MY HUSBAND GOT YOU WORKING ALREADY?

[BREATHING HEAVILY] JUST...HELPING OUT.

ALMANZO'S INSIDE,

CHANGING THE BABY.

UH-OH. I BETTER GO INSIDE. I'M LATE.

WARM AND DRY.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO GET SOME SLEEP, YOUNG LADY.

[DOOR OPENS]

BETH?

HI.

SORRY I'M LATE. I STOPPED TO--

TALK TO HESTER SUE.

HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?

WOMAN'S INTUITION.

I GET THAT FROM BEING A MOTHER.

ARE YOU ANGRY?

OF COURSE NOT...

IF YOU GIVE ME A KISS.

[BANGING]

LISTEN TO ROYAL, CHOPPING AWAY.

HE ALREADY WANTS TO SEE IF HE CAN OUTDO HIS YOUNGER BROTHER.

WELL, DON'T LET HIM OVERDO.

NO, I WON'T. WHAT'S FOR SUPPER?

IS THAT ALL YOU EVER THINK ABOUT?

NO, BUT IT'S A LITTLE EARLY TO BE THINKING

ABOUT WHAT'S FOR BREAKFAST TOMORROW.

ROAST CHICKEN.

MMM. WELL, I GUESS I BETTER GO OUT

AND WORK UP A GOOD APPETITE.

I THOUGHT YOU'D HAVE ALL THIS CHOPPED AND STACKED BY NOW.

OH, THAT'S ENOUGH. LET ME TAKE OVER.

I CAN DO IT.

ROYAL.

I'LL FINISH.

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT. HOT OUT HERE.

WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN A MINUTE?

Willie: HEY, WHO WANTS TO GO SWIMMING?

Kids: I DO!

MEET YOU AT WYLER'S POND.

ALL RIGHT!

I'LL GET MY BATHING TOWEL. IT'S FROM PARIS.

WHO CARES?

IT'S ALL RIGHT. YOU GO ON.

YOU SURE?

YEAH, I'M SURE.

JUST DON'T BE LATE FOR SUPPER.

OK.

YOU GONNA GO SWIMMING?

ME? NO.

IT'S AWFULLY HOT. COME ON.

ANOTHER TIME. I GOT TO TAKE CARE OF MY PIGEONS.

PIGEONS?

YEAH, HOMING PIGEONS. I GOT 4 OF THEM.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM SOMETIME.

SURE. ANYTIME.

Willie: HEY, JENNY, YOU COMING?

YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO GO SWIMMING?

YEAH.

WELL...

SEE YA.

YEAH. SEE YA.

THERE.

WILLIE, FINISH YOUR SUPPER.

I'M NOT HUNGRY.

WHO, YOU? NOT HUNGRY? DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

MAYBE YOUR SON ISN'T HUNGRY FOR LEFTOVERS FROM THE RESTAURANT.

I KNOW I'M NOT.

OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES.

I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO COOK SUPPER TONIGHT.

I HAD TO FINISH MY COLUMN.

YOUR COLUMN?

MM-HMM.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO A WEATHER REPORT.

WELL, I AM, BUT SOMEONE WITH MY TALENT

CAN'T JUST WRITE DOWN "CLEAR AND SUNNY."

WELL, WHAT DOES SOMEONE WITH YOUR TALENT WRITE DOWN?

YOU WANT TO HEAR IT?

SURE. I'M GOING TO ANYWAY.

"HARRIET'S WEATHER OR NOT."

WELL, ISN'T THAT CATCHY?

VERY.

"THE SUN WILL BE SHINING TODAY,

"SO HARRY GORMAN WON'T HAVE TO BRING AN UMBRELLA

WHEN HE VISITS THE WIDOW BATES."

HARRIET!

WELL, LET ME FINISH!

"IT WILL BE VERY WARM,

"ALMOST AS WARM AS THE LOOKS IN CHURCH ON SUNDAY

"BETWEEN SYLVIE BROOKS AND ARNOLD FARNSWORTH.

I WONDER IF ARNOLD'S FIANCÉE NOTICES."

HARRIET, THAT IS NOT WEATHER! THAT IS GOSSIP!

WELL, WHO CARES?

THAT'S WHY I CALL THE COLUMN "HARRIET'S WEATHER OR NOT."

SOME OF IT'S WEATHER. SOME OF IT'S NOT.

IF YOU DIDN'T SPEND SO MUCH TIME GOSSIPING ON THE TELEPHONE,

YOU'D HAVE TIME TO FIX SUPPER.

OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES,

THERE YOU GO ABOUT SUPPER AGAIN.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I HAVE TO GET THE COLUMN OVER TO THE PAPER.

IT GOES TO BED TONIGHT.

HMM? THAT'S NEWSPAPER TALK.

IT'S GOING TO GO TO PRINT.

SO YOU DO THE DISHES. BYE.

HARRIET! HARRIET!

OH!

FIRST SHE CAN'T COOK THE SUPPER.

THEN SHE CAN'T WASH THE DISHES.

NANCY, YOU WASH. WILLIE, YOU CAN DRY.

MOTHER DIDN'T ASK ME TO DO THEM. SHE ASKED YOU.

WELL, I'M TELLING YOU.

I CAN'T. I DON'T FEEL WELL.

A GIRL UPSET ME AT SCHOOL TODAY.

WHO UPSET YOU?

THAT AWFUL JENNY WILDER.

I HATE HER!

OH, I MET JENNY. SEEMED LIKE A VERY NICE GIRL TO ME.

THAT'S IT! TAKE HER SIDE!

YOU HATE ME!

NANCY, NOW, LISTEN TO ME!

I DON'T HATE YOU! I JUST--

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

STICK UP FOR THAT AWFUL GIRL INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN DAUGHTER!

I DON'T CARE!

OH, NANCY!

WHAT ON EARTH DID JENNY DO TO UPSET YOUR SISTER SO?

NOTHING.

WELL, SOMETHING ABOUT JENNY UPSET HER.

SHE'S PRETTY.

THAT'S ALL?

THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NANCY.

WELL, I'LL WASH. YOU CAN DRY.

NO ARGUMENT.

THAT UNDERSTOOD?

[DOOR CLOSES]

[JEB CRYING]

JEB, WHAT'S WRONG?

NOTHING.

COME ON. YOU DON'T CRY FOR NOTHING.

YOU DO IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT.

IT'S BECAUSE OF TODAY, ISN'T IT?

THE SWIMMING.

NO.

AIN'T NO USE LYING TO ME.

I'M YOUR BROTHER.

I WISH WE NEVER MOVED TO MINNESOTA.

THE LAND OF 10,000 LAKES, AND I CAN'T SWIM A LICK.

YOU COULD IF YOU JUST TRY.

IT'S EASY.

I DON'T WANT TO TRY.

JEB, YOU GOT TO STOP BEING SCARED.

I CAN'T. I CAN'T HELP IT.

PA WILL TEACH YOU. HE--

NO!

YOU DON'T SAY NOTHING TO PA.

I DON'T WANT HIM KNOWING I'M SCARED.

BUT HE'S BOUND TO FIND OUT SOMETIME.

NO, HE WON'T, AND YOU SWEAR NOT TO TELL,

NOT ANYBODY.

I WON'T.

SWEAR IT.

OH, JEB, THAT'S SILLY.

SWEAR IT!

ALL RIGHT. I SWEAR IT.

YOU GO ON BACK TO BED NOW.

JENNY GO OFF TO SCHOOL YET?

MM-HMM. SHE WANTED TO GET THERE EARLY

SO SHE COULD PLAY FOR A WHILE.

YOU KNOW SHE JUST CHATTERED ON LIKE A MAGPIE ABOUT SCHOOL LAST NIGHT.

SHE LOVES IT.

I WONDER IF I OUGHT TO WAKE ROYAL.

I WAS GOING TO ASK HIM IF HE WANTED TO GO INTO WORK WITH ME.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD LET HIM SLEEP FOR A WHILE.

HE DIDN'T LOOK SO WELL LAST NIGHT.

HE'S SO TIRED.

WELL, HE'S JUST BEING STUBBORN.

YOU KNOW, CHOPPING WOOD LIKE HE DID YESTERDAY.

[GLASS BREAKS]

ROYAL!

[GASPING]

DEAR LORD, WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW. I'M GOING TO GET THE DOC.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, ROYAL. I'M GONNA GET THE DOC.

LAURA.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. IT'S OK.

THAT WOMAN! OH!

THAT WOMAN! HOW DARE SHE DO THIS TO ME!

CALM DOWN.

OH, CALM DOWN YOURSELF!

HOW DARE SHE DO THIS TO ME? I HATE HER!

WHAT WOMAN? WHAT DID SHE DO TO YOU?

WHAT WOMAN? MRS. CARTER, THAT'S WHAT WOMAN!

LOOK WHAT SHE'S DONE HERE. READ THIS.

JUST READ THAT.

"HARRIET'S WEATHER OR NOT.

SUNNY AND HOT."

SUNNY AND HOT.

UH! SUNNY AND HOT!

SHE TOOK MY WHOLE COLUMN OUT AND LEFT "SUNNY AND HOT."

DID YOU EVER READ ANYTHING SO STUPID?

[THUNDER]

NO, HARRIET, I NEVER READ

ANYTHING SO STUPID IN MY LIFE.

[SCREAMING]

YES, YES.

HOLD ON, MISS RUCKER.

IT'S MY BROTHER ROYAL. IT'S BAD. HE'S SICK.

I'LL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU.

SYMPTOMS?

WELL, HE CAN'T BREATHE. HE KEEPS HOLDING HIS CHEST.

SOUNDS LIKE HIS HEART. LET'S GO.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

BETTER.

JUST...TIRED.

FROM THE SOUND OF THAT HEART,

I'D VENTURE TO SAY THIS ISN'T THE FIRST ATTACK YOU'VE HAD.

AM I RIGHT?

HAVE YOU SEEN A DOCTOR BEFORE THIS?

DIDN'T HE GIVE YOU ANY MEDICINE?

YEAH.

RAN OUT.

LAURA, IF HE HAS ANY CHEST PAINS, GIVE HIM ONE OF THESE.

YES, DOCTOR.

HOW BAD IS HE, DOC?

IT'S VERY BAD, I'M AFRAID.

IF HE KNEW HOW BAD,

HE NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MEDICATION.

HE WAS NEAR DEAD WHEN WE GOT HERE.

DEAR GOD.

KEEP HIM VERY STILL.

AND MAKE SURE HE UNDERSTANDS HOW SERIOUS IT IS.

I WILL.

WHEN HE GETS STRONGER, YOU MAY WANT

TO TAKE HIM TO ST. PAUL FOR SOME TESTS.

RIGHT.

I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW.

I'LL DRIVE YOU BACK TO TOWN, DOC.

OH, NO, THERE'S NO NEED.

YOU STAY WITH YOUR BROTHER. IT STOPPED RAINING.

ANYWAY, I COULD USE THE EXERCISE.

THANKS, DOC.

YOU GAVE US QUITE A SCARE, BROTHER.

I'M SORRY.

IT...

THAT'S ALL IN THE PAST. I'LL BE FINE.

I DON'T WANT TO BE IN BED WHEN JENNY GETS HOME FROM SCHOOL.

NO, NO, YOU'RE GONNA BE.

THAT'S DOCTOR'S ORDERS.

ALMANZO, LISTEN TO ME.

NO, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOCTOR'S BEEN TELLING YOU,

BUT YOU'RE A VERY SICK MAN,

AND REST IS THE ONLY THING YOU REALLY NEED.

WHEN YOU'RE FEELING BETTER, I'M GONNA TAKE YOU TO MINNEAPOLIS.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOME TESTS.

ALMANZO, I HAD ALL THE TESTS.

I'M DYING.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

THE TRUTH.

I'M REAL SORRY.

I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE NOW,

BUT I WANTED JENNY TO GET A CHANCE TO GET TO KNOW YOU,

AND YOU, HER.

YOU'RE THE ONLY FAMILY SHE'LL HAVE.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO STOP TALKING LIKE THAT

'CAUSE YOU ARE STILL A VERY YOUNG MAN.

I'M A YOUNG MAN WITH A VERY OLD HEART.

NOTHING CAN BE DONE, BELIEVE ME.

JENNY MUSTN'T KNOW.

SHE KNOWS I HAVEN'T BEEN WELL.

I ONLY HAVE A SHORT TIME LEFT WITH HER.

I DON'T WANT TO SPEND IT

WITH A DAUGHTER WHO CRIES EVERY TIME SHE LOOKS AT ME.

I WANT OUR TIME TOGETHER TO BE GOOD.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

ALMANZO...

I DON'T WANT A LITTLE BROTHER

WHO CRIES EVERY TIME HE LOOKS AT ME, EITHER.
