YOU TELL ME THE PROPRIETOR OF THIS HOTEL IS MR. OLESON?

YES, SIR.

LEAVE MY LUGGAGE AT THE DESK.

TELL THEM I'LL BE BACK SHORTLY.

THANK YOU, MR. REED.

Reed: OH, BOY...

WHERE DO I RENT A RIG?

THE STABLES ARE ACROSS THE WAY THERE.

I'LL NEED A SMALL CARRIAGE.

MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAN.

SORRY, MISTER. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WALK OVER THERE YOURSELF.

I'M KIND OF BUSY.

BE BACK IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES. YOU CAN KEEP THE CHANGE.

GOOD AFTERNOON, SIR. WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE THE PROPRIETOR OF THE LOCAL HOTEL.

AH, YES. I'M HARRIET OLESON.

THIS IS MY HUSBAND NELS.

WE OWN THE RESTAURANT ACROSS THE WAY,

AND, OF COURSE, THE MERCANTILE...

WELL, ALL THE BUSINESSES OF ANY STANDING IN THE COMMUNITY.

I WOULD LIKE A ROOM WITH A LARGE BED AND A PRIVATE BATH.

Harriet: YES, WELL, HESTER-SUE, THE WOMAN WHO WORKS FOR ME,

WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE YOU.

I'M USUALLY NOT ACCUSTOMED TO DEALING WITH THE EMPLOYEES

OF AN ESTABLISHMENT, MRS. OLESON.

I'LL ALSO NEED A DESK AND A TELEPHONE.

WELL, I'M SORRY. NONE OF THE ROOMS ARE WIRED FOR TELEPHONES.

WELL, PERHAPS THIS WILL COVER THE COSTS OF INSTALLATION.

OH, YES, WELL, OF COURSE.

WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE YOU.

UH, THAT'S MISTER, UM...?

REED, ELLIOTT REED.

REED? REED, REED...

ELLIOTT REED...

OH, ARE YOU BY ANY CHANCE

RELATED TO THE MANKATO REEDS?

UNTIL THIS TRIP, I'VE NEVER BEEN IN MANKATO IN MY LIFE, MRS. OLESON.

OH, WELL...

NOW, IF YOU COULD JUST TELL ME WHERE JOHN CARTER LIVES,

I'LL BE ON MY WAY.

STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD,

ABOUT 2 1/2 MILES THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BRIDGE.

THANK YOU.

ELLIOTT REED--THAT NAME IS SO FAMILIAR TO ME.

MRS. OLESON, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF

THE "NEW YORK GLOBE TELEGRAM"?

WELL, YES, OF COURSE, BUT--

I OWN IT.

YOU--YOU-- HE--HE OWNS IT!

WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU WANT WITH THE JOHN CARTERS?

I'M SARAH'S FATHER.

A NICKEL AN HOUR'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR A BOY YOUR AGE.

YOU SURE YOU'RE WORTH IT?

MRS. McANDREWS THINKS I AM.

Jason: YEAH. WAIT TILL SHE'S SEEN YOUR WORK.

SHE'S SEEN MY WORK PLENTY OF TIMES.

THAT'S WHY SHE UPPED MY WAGE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ENOUGH.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY BICKERING OR JEALOUSY AT THE SUPPER TABLE.

IS THAT CLEAR?

JASON, YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO HELP YOUR FATHER OUT...

WITH JEB BUSY THE NEXT WHILE, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE.

Jason: THE PAY'S NOT AS GOOD.

[HORSE NICKERS]

THAT MUST BE ALMANZO.

I PROMISED HIM I'D TAKE A LOOK AT HIS WAGON HITCH AFTER SUPPER.

OH.

IT WAS A GREAT MEAL.

THANK YOU.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

ELLIOTT.

HELLO, JOHN.

DADDY.

JEB, JASON...

SAY HELLO TO YOUR GRANDFATHER.

-HELLO. -HELLO.

I DON'T THINK THEY REMEMBER ME.

HERE, BOYS. A LITTLE GET-ACQUAINTED PRESENT FOR EACH OF YOU.

AW...

LOOK AT THESE POLES.

THEY'RE SPINNERS.

WHAT DO YOU BOYS SAY?

Boys: THANK YOU.

NOW, GO OUT AND PUT THE FEAR OF GOD IN THE LOCAL FISH.

AND FOR MY DAUGHTER...

A BOTTLE OF THE FINEST PERFUME IN ALL OF FRANCE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHERE'S MAMA?

AND THIS IS FOR JOHN.

IT'S ONLY A FUR CAP,

BUT I FIGURED YOU'D MAKE GOOD USE OF IT.

I HEAR TELL THAT MINNESOTA IS THE COLDEST STATE IN THE UNION.

THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT.

WELL, WHY DON'T WE ALL SIT DOWN?

JEB, PULL UP A CHAIR FOR YOUR GRANDFATHER.

YES, MA'AM.

WELL...

YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTION.

WHAT BRINGS YOU ALL THE WAY OUT HERE?

CAN'T BE THE NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.

NO. I WISH IT WERE.

YOUR MOTHER PASSED AWAY LAST MONTH.

I DIDN'T THINK A LETTER WAS APPROPRIATE.

HOW DID IT HAPPEN?

INFLUENZA.

COMPLICATIONS SET IN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.

SHE WOKE ONE MORNING WITH A FEVER,

AND BY NIGHTFALL SHE WAS GONE.

OH, MY GOD.

I KEPT MEANING TO GO BACK AND SEE HER.

I'M SORRY, MA.

EXCUSE ME. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

John: YOU'LL STAY TO SUPPER?

OH, YES, I WAS COUNTING ON IT.

IT'LL GIVE ME A CHANCE TO GET TO KNOW MY GRANDSONS.

GOOD.

JASON, YOU WANT TO SET ANOTHER PLACE?

Jason: YES, PA.

JOHN...

[CRYING]

[KNOCK KNOCK]

DADDY.

I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE GOING TO BE FREE UNTIL NOON.

FOR A FELLOW NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER, I AM FREE AT ANY HOUR OF THE DAY.

ARE YOU FEELING ALL RIGHT?

YOU DON'T LOOK AS IF YOU'RE TAKING VERY GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF.

I DIDN'T SLEEP VERY WELL LAST NIGHT.

THE NEWS ABOUT MAMA HIT ME PRETTY HARD.

I IMAGINE IT WOULD.

I'M GLAD I COULD AFFORD TO TAKE THE TIME OFF TO BE HERE.

ME, TOO.

WELL, NOW, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME A GRAND TOUR OF

THE "WALNUT GROVE GAZETTE"?

[STIFLED CHUCKLE]

I'M AFRAID YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT.

THIS IS THE SUM AND TOTAL OF MY PUBLISHING EMPIRE.

WELL, I'M SURPRISED THAT YOU HAVE ANY EMPIRE AT ALL.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL,

YOU STAYED AS FAR AWAY FROM MY NEWSPAPER AS YOU POSSIBLY COULD.

MAYBE TOO FAR AWAY.

YOU COULD ALWAYS COME BACK, YOU KNOW.

NO...

I DON'T THINK SO.

THIS IS MY HOME NOW.

HOME?

WITHOUT A MUSEUM... OR THEATERS...

OR CENTRAL PARK?

REMEMBER?

I KNOW. I MISS ALL THOSE THINGS...

BUT I LIKE THE OPEN AIR

AND THE CORNFIELDS IN THE SPRINGTIME...

COWS WANDERING LOOSE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF TOWN.

THERE'S SOMETHING MAGICAL IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

HOW DO JEB AND JASON FEEL ABOUT IT?

OH, TO THEM IT'S LIKE HEAVEN ON EARTH.

YOU SOUND VERY CONVINCING...

BUT I'VE SEEN HOW YOU LIVE.

I CAN'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE VERY HAPPY HERE.

OH, BUT I AM!

I HAVE MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS,

EVEN MY NEWSPAPER.

I SAW A COPY OF YOUR NEWSPAPER AT THE HOTEL THIS MORNING.

DON'T TELL ME THAT WRITING STORIES

ABOUT CHURCH BAZAARS AND BARN RAISINGS

IS VERY FULFILLING.

THAT'S THE WAY WE LIVE AROUND HERE.

I'LL LEAVE THE BIG NEWS STORIES TO YOU.

I DON'T BUY THAT, SARAH.

IF YOU WANT TO PUBLISH A NEWSPAPER, YOU MIGHT AS WELL PUBLISH IT RIGHT.

NOW, WHAT WERE YOU WORKING ON WHEN I WALKED IN HERE?

UH...JUST AN ARTICLE...

ABOUT THE SCHOOL BOOK DRIVE.

DO YOU WANT TO READ IT?

NO, AND I DON'T BELIEVE

ANY OF YOUR READERS WANT TO READ IT EITHER.

WHEN DO YOU GO TO PRESS?

UH...THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

GOOD, THAT GIVES US SOME TIME TO PULL IT OUT OF THE FIRE.

DAUGHTER, SOME SCRAP PAPER...

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW A REAL NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER WORKS.

WELL...

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

LOOKS FINE.

WHAT IS IT?

IT'S A BRAKE ROD. WE'RE GOING TO USE IT TO FIX DOC BAKER'S RIG.

HOW MUCH ARE YOU GOING TO CHARGE HIM TO DO THAT?

NOW, WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME A QUESTION LIKE THAT?

JUST WONDERING HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE.

JEB'S EARNING A NICKEL AN HOUR,

AND GRANDPA'S RICH.

ARE WE RICH?

Elliot: GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING, ELLIOTT.

SO JEB'S MAKING A NICKEL AN HOUR, IS HE?

YES, SIR.

WOW! A QUARTER!

THANKS, GRANDPA!

GO ON. FATTEN THE COFFERS AT OLESON'S MERCANTILE.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.

JUST CONSIDER IT MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY.

I WAS LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW FIRST THING THIS MORNING.

YOU'VE BEEN HERE SINCE THE CRACK OF DAWN.

YEAH, WELL, I'VE GOT MORE WORK THAN I CAN HANDLE.

I'VE BEEN SENDING PEOPLE OVER TO SLEEPY EYE.

AND YOU'RE VERY DILIGENT, JOHN.

I MUST CONFESS, I NEVER SAID YOU WERE LAZY.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE $40.00 A WEEK?

I'D LOVE IT. AND HOW DO I GO ABOUT DOING THAT?

YOU KNOW HOW JUST AS WELL AS I DO.

IT'S THE SAME PRESSROOM JOB I'VE BEEN OFFERING YOU ALL THESE YEARS.

YOU MEAN THE ONE I KEEP TURNING DOWN.

I WANT A BETTER LIFE FOR SARAH AND THE BOYS.

AND AS FAR AS I CAN SEE, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE HOLDING THEM BACK.

IS THAT WHAT SARAH TOLD YOU?

NO. SARAH'S A WOMAN. SHE'S STARRY-EYED.

BUT IF YOU WERE TO DECIDE TO MOVE TO NEW YORK,

YOU COULD BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR

SHE'D PACK UP AND MOVE THERE WITH YOU.

I CAN'T AFFORD TO BET,

AND WE BOTH LIKE LIVING HERE.

NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR LIFE, BE REASONABLE.

I'M OFFERING YOU A JOB A HUNDRED MEN WOULD KILL FOR.

WELL, THEN I CERTAINLY THINK ONE OF THEM SHOULD HAVE IT.

-JOHN! -ELLIOTT, THE ANSWER IS NO!

[SING-SONG] WALNUT GROVE!

Man over phone: YES, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO LINDA McANDREWS, PLEASE.

OH.

THIS IS HER BROTHER. I'M CALLING FROM ST. LOUIS.

UH-HUH. JUST A MOMENT.

[TELEPHONE BUZZES]

HELLO?

ANDY.

I'M FINE. HOW ARE YOU?

OH, GUESS WHAT.

I HAVEN'T HAD A DRINK SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.

NO. I DON'T EVEN KEEP IT IN THE HOUSE,

EXCEPT FOR A LITTLE RUM FOR MY MINCEMEAT PIE.

WELL, AS FAR AS WALNUT GROVE IS CONCERNED, UH...

I'M THE WIDOW McANDREWS.

I WANT IT TO STAY THAT WAY.

SARAH, ISN'T THIS BETTER?

THE ARTICLE ON THE SCANDAL AT THE COMMODITIES MARKET RIGHT AT THE TOP,

AND JUST BELOW IT,

THE PIECE ON THE GERMAN IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.

WHERE'S THE ARTICLE THAT I WROTE

ABOUT ALL THE HELP THE TOWN GAVE THE SIMPSONS

AFTER THEIR HOUSE BURNED DOWN?

PAGE 4, LOWER LEFT-HAND CORNER.

OH, I WAS HOPING THAT WOULD BE THE MAIN STORY.

MY DEAR SARAH,

LAST YEAR, THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE LONDON "TIMES"

CAME ALL THE WAY OVER FROM ENGLAND

TO CONSULT WITH ME ABOUT MY PUBLISHING STYLE.

IF MY ADVICE WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM,

IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU.

OH, GOOD MORNING, MRS. OLESON.

GOOD MORNING.

WE'RE AWFULLY BUSY RIGHT NOW.

OH, WELL, THIS WILL JUST TAKE A MOMENT.

AFTER OUR CONVERSATION YESTERDAY EVENING, I WENT RIGHT HOME,

AND I WROTE THIS LITTLE ARTICLE

THAT I THOUGHT POSSIBLY YOU COULD USE.

[CHUCKLES]

POSSIBLY.

WHAT IS IT?

COME HERE, MADAM.

YES?

WHERE I COME FROM,

WE DO NOT SPLIT INFINITIVES!

OH, UH--UH, WELL...

IT MUST BE JUST A LITTLE OVERSIGHT ON MY PART...

ELLIOTT.

IS IT ALL RIGHT IF I CALL YOU ELLIOTT?

NO.

OH.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET SUNSTROKE UNLESS YOU SIT A SPELL.

WELL, YOU'RE PAYING ME GOOD MONEY, AND I CAN'T VERY WELL TAKE A REST

WITH ALL THAT WORK I'VE GOT TO DO.

JEB CARTER, IT'S MY MONEY,

AND I WILL SPEND IT AS I SEE FIT.

COME ON OVER HERE AND TALK TO ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME?

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?

DADDY--MY FATHER RAN IT OFF THIS AFTERNOON.

"WHISPERS, BY HARRIET OLESON."

"LINDA McANDREWS, THE YOUNG WIDOW

"WHO RECENTLY PURCHASED THE OLD CAMPBELL HOUSE

"AND WHO HAS TRIED SO HARD TO ENDEAR HERSELF TO THE COMMUNITY,

"IS NOT WHAT SHE SEEMS AT ALL.

"FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, SHE HAS MANAGED TO HIDE HER TRUE IDENTITY

"FROM THE CITIZENS OF WALNUT GROVE,

"ATTENDING CHURCH SERVICES REGULARLY

"AND CONTRIBUTING TO LOCAL CHARITIES.

"BUT IN TRUTH, THE WIDOW McANDREWS IS A DIVORCEE

TRYING TO ESCAPE HER ALCOHOLIC PAST."

OH, MY GOD.

OH, THAT POOR WOMAN.

HI. MRS. McANDREWS?

I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD TAKE THE MORNING OFF

TO GO FISHING WITH MY GRANDPA.

THAT'S FINE WITH ME.

I'LL BE BACK BY NOON.

DON'T BOTHER. I DON'T WANT YOU AROUND HERE ANYMORE.

BUT YOUR GARDEN'S NOT NEARLY READY FOR PLANTING--

WHAT'S THE MATTER? DON'T YOU READ YOUR MAMA'S OWN PAPER?

I DON'T WANT YOU SETTING FOOT ON

MY PROPERTY AGAIN, YOU HEAR?

OH, I THINK WE BETTER MOVE ON. I HAVEN'T HAD A SINGLE BITE.

WHAT ABOUT JEB?

THIS IS WHERE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET US.

HE'S LATE.

WE'LL LEAVE HIS POLE HERE AND HE CAN FISH WHERE HE WANTS.

HERE. FETCH ME THAT TACKLE BOX.

YES, SIR.

THERE HE IS!

HEY, JEB, GUESS WHAT.

GRANDPA GOT US A JAR OF FISH EGGS.

IT'S THE BEST BAIT IN THE WORLD.

ISN'T IT, GRANDPA?

WHY DID YOU AND MRS. OLESON

SAY THOSE THINGS ABOUT MRS. McANDREWS?

ALL WE DID WAS PRINT THE TRUTH.

ALL YOU DID WAS HURT HER FOR NO REASON.

YOU'VE NEVER EVEN MET HER!

HERE. KEEP IT!

I DON'T EVER WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU AGAIN!

NOW, JEB, YOU COME BACK HERE!

I'LL NOT HAVE YOU SPEAKING TO ME THAT WAY!

DID YOU SAY SOMETHING BAD ABOUT MRS. McANDREWS

IN THE NEWSPAPER?

I ONLY TOLD THE TRUTH, SON.

SHE'S A NICE LADY.

WELL, THEN MAYBE YOU'LL JUST WANT TO TROT ALONG

AFTER YOUR BROTHER.

HE DOESN'T GIVE ME QUARTERS AND FISHING POLES.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

NOTHING.

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT.

WHAT WAS YOUR GRANDPA LIKE?

WELL, I NEVER KNEW MY GRANDFATHER ON MY MOTHER'S SIDE,

BUT GRANDPA CARTER WAS A GREAT BIG BEAR OF A MAN.

HE WAS A BLACKSMITH.

WHEN HE WAS ABOUT YOUR AGE, HE HELPED BUILD THE ERIE CANAL,

AND DIGGING UP A TON OF EARTH A DAY MADE A MAN OUT OF HIM REAL FAST.

DID HE TEACH YOU HOW TO BE A BLACKSMITH?

AND HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE A HUMAN BEING.

GRANDPA CARTER NEVER SHOOK HANDS WITH ANYBODY.

HE'D WRAP THOSE ARMS AROUND YOU AND PULL YOU UP TIGHT. HUH!

THE WAY HE LOOKED AND THE WAY HE LAUGHED...

SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT ALONG PRETTY GOOD WITH HIM.

YEAH. BUT HE COULD RATTLE WINDOWS

WHEN ANGER GOT THE BEST OF HIM.

HE ALWAYS USED TO SAY HE LIKED LAUGHTER A WHOLE LOT MORE

BECAUSE ANGER WAS A PRETTY LONELY BUSINESS.

GUESS I'M PRETTY LONELY RIGHT NOW.

WEREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE OUT FISHING WITH ELLIOTT?

I HATE HIM, PA. I WISH HE NEVER CAME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THOSE ARE MIGHTY STRONG WORDS, SON.

WELL, LOOK AT WHAT HE DID TO MRS. McANDREWS. SHE WAS MY FRIEND,

BUT NOW SHE WON'T LET ME COME NEAR HER BECAUSE OF HIM.

MRS. McANDREWS IS A GOOD WOMAN,

AND I WAS SORRY YOUR GRANDPA DECIDED TO PRINT THAT STORY.

WELL, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MA COULD LET HIM DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WHOA. YOUR GRANDFATHER TENDS TO RUN THINGS THE WAY HE SEES FIT.

WELL, WHEN'S HE GOING BACK TO NEW YORK?

IN TIME. BUT FOR NOW, I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER ONE THING:

HE'S YOUR GRANDFATHER.

WELL, I'LL REMEMBER IT, BUT I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE HIM.

WHOA.

GOOD AFTERNOON, SARAH.

WELL, HELLO, DADDY.

I WANT TO TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE.

I WANT YOU TO SHOW ME THIS COUNTRYSIDE

YOU SAY YOU LOVE SO MUCH.

OH, I CAN'T. I--

I HAVE AN ERRAND TO RUN.

GOOD. I'LL TAKE YOU. CLIMB UP.

WHERE ARE WE HEADED?

TO LINDA McANDREWS' PLACE.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO GO THERE?

I OWE HER AN APOLOGY.

I'VE WAITED TOO LONG ALREADY.

AN APOLOGY?

THAT'S ABSOLUTE NONSENSE, GIRL.

YOU DON'T WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR PRINTING THE TRUTH.

DADDY, SHE WAS HURT BY THAT STORY.

AND GROVER CLEVELAND WAS MADDER THAN A HORNET

BECAUSE OF A STORY I PRINTED IN MY PAPER TWO WEEKS AGO.

HE'S BEEN DEMANDING AN APOLOGY EVER SINCE.

AND IF I WON'T APOLOGIZE

TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,

I'M CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER

APOLOGIZE TO AN INSIGNIFICANT YOUNG WOMAN

WHO LIED HER WAY INTO THIS COMMUNITY.

NOW, ARE YOU READY TO SHOW ME THE SIGHTS?

[GLASS BREAKING]

Linda: SARAH!

SARAH CARTER, YOU COME OUT HERE!

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU!

WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU AFRAID TO LOOK ME IN THE FACE?

[LAUGHING]

IT LOOKS LIKE I GOT YOU OUT OF BED.

[LAUGHING]

WHAT A PITY.

OH, LINDA, I'M SO SORRY.

YOU WANTED A TOWN DRUNK. HA HA! NOW YOU GOT ONE.

CONGRATULATIONS, MRS. PUBLISHER.

WHY DON'T YOU COME IN THE HOUSE? WE'LL TALK.

YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!

MRS. McANDREWS, PLEASE!

IS THAT YOU, JEB?

WHY DON'T YOU TELL YOUR MOTHER ABOUT ALL MY RIVERBOAT TRIPS?

I'M SURE SHE COULD FILL IN THE BLANKS

WITH A REAL JUICY STORY FOR THE NEXT EDITION.

[GIGGLING]

DAMN YOU.

DAMN YOU. DAMN YOU!

JOHN, I'VE GOT TO TALK TO HER.

SHE'S IN NO CONDITION TO TALK TO ANYBODY.

COME BACK TO BED.

SARAH?

HI, LAURA.

WHERE'S ROSE?

JENNY'S TENDING HER.

DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE?

YEAH. GOT ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD.

SIT DOWN.

AHEM. I CAN'T SEEM TO CONCENTRATE ON ANYTHING BUT LINDA McANDREWS.

WELL, SHE'S THE REASON WHY I'M HERE.

I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO HEAR ABOUT IT FROM ANYBODY ELSE.

IT SEEMS SHE HAD A REALLY ROUGH MARRIAGE.

I GUESS THAT'S WHY SHE STARTED DRINKING.

GUESS THE ARTICLE IN THE "GAZETTE"

DIDN'T HELP MATTERS MUCH, DID IT?

SHE LEFT TOWN LAST NIGHT.

SHE GOT DRUNK AND DID A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE INSIDE OF HER HOUSE.

IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

NOBODY'S BLAMING YOU.

IT'S MY PAPER, NOT MY FATHER'S.

AND IT'S CERTAINLY NOT HARRIET OLESON'S.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I LET THAT MAN DO THIS TO ME.

[SNIFFLES]

I FEEL LIKE...

SUCH A CHILD WHEN I'M AROUND HIM.

WELL, IF IT'S ANY HELP TO YOU...

I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY WHEN I'M AROUND MY FATHER.

MY MA TOLD ME...

THAT WE PROBABLY NEVER REALLY GET OVER THAT.

I NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO GET TO KNOW CHARLES VERY WELL...

BUT HE SEEMS SO...

LOVING...AND OPEN.

YOUR FATHER ISN'T?

NOT AT ALL.

HE'S...HE'S ALWAYS BEEN SO...

IMPORTANT, SO FULL OF HIMSELF.

I GREW UP THINKING THAT ALL MEN WERE BORN LIKE THAT.

AND THEN I MET JOHN.

BUT DADDY NEVER APPROVED OF HIM.

HE TRIED EVERYTHING TO KEEP US APART.

WE FINALLY HAD TO ELOPE.

IT TOOK ME YEARS TO CONVINCE MY PA

THAT ALMANZO AND I SHOULD GET MARRIED.

EVEN AFTER HE SAID YES...

I COULD TELL THAT DEEP DOWN INSIDE...

HE WASN'T READY TO LET GO OF ME YET.

I'M AFRAID THAT DADDY WILL RESENT JOHN TILL THE DAY HE DIES.

DO YOU LIKE ELLIOTT?

MY FATHER? OF COURSE I DO.

BUT ONLY BECAUSE HE'S YOUR FATHER?

OH, LAURA...

OH, I'M SO FRIGHTENED.

HE'S MY OWN FATHER.

I'VE BEEN POISONED BY HIM.

[SOBBING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

JASON, WOULD YOU GET THAT FOR ME, PLEASE?

YEAH.

GRANDPA, COME IN.

JASON, JEB. SARAH.

WELL. I'D ALMOST GIVEN UP ON SEEING YOU TODAY.

WELL, I HAD A LOT TO ATTEND TO.

PERHAPS YOU BOYS WOULD LIKE TO GO OUT AND PLAY.

YOUR MOTHER AND I HAVE SOMETHING TO DISCUSS.

Sarah: GO AHEAD.

YOU CAN FINISH YOUR HOMEWORK LATER.

COME ON, JASON. WE'VE GOT CHORES TO DO ANYWAY.

Sarah: DON'T GO TOO FAR.

SUPPER'S GOING TO BE READY IN AN HOUR.

I SPOKE TO A MR. FORDWICK AT THE RUTLEDGE BOYS' SCHOOL

IN WEST HAMPTON, LONG ISLAND.

HE'S EXPECTING TO SEE JASON IN A MONTH,

AND JEB'S ENROLLED IN THE NEW CANAAN MILITARY ACADEMY A WEEK LATER.

AND YOU AND JOHN CAN COME AND LIVE WITH ME UNTIL YOU FIND A PLACE OF YOUR OWN.

I DIDN'T AGREE TO ANY OF THIS.

I TRUST YOU MENTIONED OUR LITTLE CONVERSATION TO YOUR HUSBAND.

NO.

THEN I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SPEAK TO HIM MYSELF.

DADDY, I KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING TO SAY.

[DOOR OPENS]

ELLIOTT.

JOHN, I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

MAYBE YOU CAN TALK SOME SENSE INTO MY DAUGHTER.

WHY? WHAT'S GOING ON?

WELL, I WAS TRYING TO OUTLINE THE ADVANTAGES OF MOVING BACK TO NEW YORK:

EXCELLENT SCHOOLING FOR THE CHILDREN,

GOOD JOBS FOR BOTH OF YOU, WITH A FUTURE,

A PROPER HOME.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS HOME?

JOHN.

NO. I'M ASKING A QUESTION.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS HOME?

WELL, THAT'S KIND OF OBVIOUS.

THIS SHACK YOU CALL A HOME ISN'T FIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION.

THE BOYS SLEEP IN A LOFT. YOU PUMP YOUR WATER FROM A WELL BY HAND.

I'M GLAD I DIDN'T LET EMMA COME OUT HERE AFTER ALL.

MAMA WANTED TO COME VISIT US?

WHEN SHE HEARD YOU WERE MOVING TO WALNUT GROVE.

BUT THE TIMING WAS WRONG. SHE WAS IN NO SHAPE TO TRAVEL.

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE?

WELL, I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT.

I--I THOUGHT SHE DIDN'T CARE.

MONTHS AND MONTHS WENT BY WITHOUT A WORD

FROM EITHER OF YOU.

WELL, YOU KNOW HOW NEW YORK IS.

FAST-PACE, EVERYTHING ON THE MOVE.

DADDY, HOW LONG WAS MAMA SICK?

I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

I HAD HER MOVED TO A SANATORIUM IN CONNECTICUT A YEAR AGO.

CONSUMPTION.

SHE DIDN'T DIE OF INFLUENZA, THEN?

I COULD'VE GONE TO HER?

NO. THERE WAS NOTHING YOU COULD DO.

THE POOR WOMAN WAS VERY ILL.

I DIDN'T SEE THE NEED TO BURDEN YOU.

DIDN'T SEE THE NEED?

YOU SENT HER ALL THE WAY TO CONNECTICUT,

AND THEN YOU DELIBERATELY KEPT ME FROM HER...

AT A TIME WHEN SHE NEEDED ME MOST?

YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT.

I HAVE EVERY RIGHT. I'M YOUR FATHER.

WELL, YOU'RE EVERYBODY'S FATHER, AREN'T YOU?

MAMA'S, MINE, JOHN'S, EVERYBODY'S.

EVERYBODY HAS TO DO WHAT YOU SAY.

IS THAT THE KIND OF NONSENSE

LIFE IN THIS PRAIRIE TOWN HAS TAUGHT YOU?

IT'S TAUGHT ME INDEPENDENCE.

IT'S TAUGHT ME THAT I'M NOT YOUR LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE.

I'M A GROWN WOMAN WITH A HUSBAND AND TWO CHILDREN.

YOU MAY GET YOUR WAY WITH YOUR EDITORS AND YOUR REPORTERS

AND EVEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,

BUT NOT WITH ME, NOT EVER AGAIN.

SARAH, I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU HAVE--

EVERYTHING YOU EVER ASKED FOR--

BUT I'LL CUT YOU OFF IF I HAVE TO STAND HERE

AND LISTEN TO ANY MORE OF THIS.

I THINK YOU SHOULD GO NOW.

EVER SINCE SHE MET YOU,

SHE HAS BEEN REBELLIOUS AND INTRACTABLE.

I DIDN'T APPROVE OF HER MARRYING YOU,

BUT SHE WENT AHEAD AND MARRIED YOU ANYWAY.

I DIDN'T APPROVE OF HER MOVING WEST,

BUT HERE SHE IS.

SHE HAS REJECTED MY ADVICE AND MY OFFERS OF HELP AT EVERY TURN.

YOU DON'T GIVE ADVICE, ELLIOTT. YOU GIVE ORDERS.

SHE'S TIRED OF BEING PUSHED AROUND BY YOU, AND SO AM I.

NOW, YOU'VE GIVEN HER NOTHING BUT GRIEF EVER SINCE YOU GOT HERE.

NOW, THIS MAY BE A SHACK, BUT IT'S OUR SHACK,

AND YOU'RE NOT WELCOME IN IT.

I'LL BE ON THE MORNING STAGE.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M GOOD.

I'M FINE.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

OH, GOOD EVENING, MR. REED.

I HAVE SOMETHING HERE I THINK MIGHT BE OF INTEREST TO YOU.

IT'S MY NEXT COLUMN FOR THE "GAZETTE."

OH, PLEASE NOT TONIGHT, MRS. OLESON.

WELL, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE McANDREWS WOMAN.

WHAT ABOUT HER?

WELL, YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS,

BUT REVEREND ALDEN ACTUALLY WENT INTO SLEEPY EYE,

AND HE FOUND HER, AND HE CONVINCED HER

TO MOVE BACK TO WALNUT GROVE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE?

THAT--THAT REVEREND ACTUALLY AIDING AND ABETTING A--

A WOMAN OF THAT CALIBER.

YES, INDEED.

I SEE YOU'VE TAKEN THE POOR REVEREND TO TASK, TOO.

OH, WELL, "THE POOR REVEREND," AS YOU SAY,

IS CERTAINLY NOT ABOVE THE SIMPLE RULES OF DECENCY.

AND NEITHER ON RARE OCCASIONS IS A NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER.

AND THAT'S WHY I'M DOING WALNUT GROVE

AND MY DAUGHTER AND YOU THE COURTESY

OF RIPPING THIS SLANDEROUS PIECE OF GARBAGE TO SHREDS.

-GOOD HEAVENS-- -GOOD NIGHT, MRS. OLESON.

WHAT TIME'S THE STAGE LEAVE?

ABOUT A HALF-HOUR.

I GUESS HE'LL BE GLAD TO GET BACK TO NEW YORK.

MINNESOTA'S NOT HIS FAVORITE PLACE ON THIS EARTH.

I DON'T SUPPOSE WE'LL EVER SEE HIM AGAIN.

I WOULDN'T THINK SO.

JOHN...

PLEASE.

I'LL HITCH UP THE TEAM.

[THUNDER]

ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, LET'S LOAD UP.

THAT STORM'S MOVING IN AWFUL FAST.

DADDY, I...

I'M SURPRISED TO SEE YOU HERE.

WE JUST COULDN'T LET YOU LEAVE WITHOUT...

SAYING GOOD-BYE.

I WAS AFRAID WE'D SAID OUR GOOD-BYES YESTERDAY.

YESTERDAY'S OVER AND DONE WITH.

WE SAID OUR PIECE, AND YOU SAID YOURS.

AND I STILL WISH YOU WERE GOING BACK EAST WITH ME.

I KNOW YOU WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR US, BUT I--

NO. I DON'T WANT IT FOR YOU...

BUT FOR MYSELF.

WHEN YOU GET OLDER, YOU FIND OUT THAT

YOU'RE NOT AS STRONG AND INDEPENDENT AS YOU THINK YOU ARE.

YOU LOOK AROUND AND SUDDENLY FIND YOU'RE ALL ALONE.

THE TOP FLOOR OF THE "GLOBE TELEGRAM"...

GETS TO BE A MIGHTY LONELY PLACE AT TIMES.

Jason: YOU'RE COMING BACK, AREN'T YOU?

I BELIEVE YOU OWE ME THE NEXT VISIT.

CAN WE GO TO CONEY ISLAND?

YES. IT'LL BE OUR FIRST STOP.

AND, JEB... I'M SORRY ABOUT MRS. McANDREWS.

I REALLY HOPE THAT THINGS ARE GOING

TO BE ALL RIGHT WITH HER.

I DO, TOO.

JOHN, I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST.

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,

THE ONLY HURT YOU EVER DID ME WAS...

TO TAKE MY PLACE.

I EXPECT YOU TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.

SHE'S THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE.

Jeb: WE'RE ALL YOUR FAMILY.

YOU'RE OUR GRANDPA, AREN'T YOU?

I CAN'T KEEP A STAGE FULL OF PEOPLE WAITING.

GOOD-BYE, SARAH.

I'LL WRITE TO YOU WHEN I GET TO NEW YORK.

IS THAT A PROMISE?

DADDY...

I LOVE YOU.

SARAH...

I LOVE YOU, TOO.
