Alice, thank you so much
for helping me pick out my pattern.
I absolutely couldn't make up my mind.
Glad I could be of help.
Oh, just look at that!
I never thought we'd see the day
when there'd be telephone lines in walnut grove.
Neither did I.
Lord knows how anyone can afford it,
though my mother in Minneapolis has one.
Foolish waste of money.
I mean, I don't even know who she'd talk to.
Want to go in and see how they're doing?
Oh, I ought to be getting back.
I've got a roast to put in the oven.
It will only take a minute.
All right.
He's going to test the line.
Oh.
There you go.
Walnut grove!
Aah!
Why did you scream at me?
That's a little loud, lady.
Just speak in a normal, clear voice.
Oh.
Wa...
Walnut grove.
Man: That's better, ma'am. How am I coming...
Yes! Uh, just fine.
Harriet: Just fine.
Man: Then I guess you're all set.
Oh.
Now, is there anything else you ladies still don't understand?
I don't think so.
No, no. It's really very simple, isn't it?
Well, your part of it is.
You got a money-maker here, Mrs. Oleson, taking on this franchise.
Orders are pouring in from all over the state.
Oh.
Well, we've got work to do.
Oh, Alice, Caroline!
Isn't it wonderful?
Science... Modern science,
and just think, I brought it to walnut grove.
We're all in your debt.
Ah, I know.
Caroline, are you going to get a telephone, too?
Oh, I don't think so.
It's a little costly for US.
Oh, ha ha! Oh, my.
I'm surprised that you would say
such a thing in front of Alice. After all...
After all, she's my best friend,
and I can say anything I like in front of her.
Yes. Good day, Mrs. Oleson.
Uh...
I swear, I will never understand that woman
as long as I live.
It's one thing to be poor,
but it's another thing to admit it.
Well, the poor are ignorant, mother.
That's why they never amount to anything.
Ah, how true, how true.
Thank heavens, we're rich.
Amen.
Albert: How much longer?
Be a while yet.
Say, shouldn't you two be getting back to school?
Well, I really wanted to stay
and wait till the first call comes in.
I'll tell you what... after school, you come back,
and I'll put in a call to mankato, and I'll let you talk.
Albert: Oh, that'll be great.
- Me first. - No, ladies first.
You'll both get a chance.
Go on, now. Back to school.
Okay. Thanks, Mr. Anderson. Bye.
See you later, doc.
Doc: Bye-bye.
Afternoon, bill.
Hello, doc.
So, you're the first to get one of those contraptions, huh?
Yeah. I expect it'll improve business.
Hmm. Mine, too.
Folks won't be so shy
about calling me out at 2:00 in the morning
when it's made so easy.
Oh, you're getting one, then, huh?
Yeah, tomorrow.
Being a doctor, I can't see my way around it.
Ha ha!
Well, what can I do for you, doc?
Well, uh, Jonathan was telling me
how much you made off selling
that pharmaceutical stock you inherited.
Yeah, I did indeed. An excellent profit.
Uh-huh. Well, I was thinking,
if it's all that good,
maybe I should buy in.
Did I say something funny?
Oh, not really.
I'm certainly glad you brought it up, though.
You'd have lost your shirt.
What do you mean?
Oh, somebody'll get rich, all right.
It just wouldn't be you.
Doc, that stock is being manipulated to go up.
I warned Jonathan to get out.
Anytime now, it's going to crash right through the floor.
How do you know that?
Well, in my business, you learn to see the signs.
Ha! Especially when they're that obvious.
Oh.
Well, thank you for the advice.
I'm much obliged.
Yeah, anytime.
When you close up, come on over to my office,
and I'll give you something for that heartburn.
How'd you know I had heartburn?
In my business, you learn to see the signs.
Alice: The only thing I don't like
are these ugly telephone Poles.
They've put them up everywhere.
But I suppose we mustn't stand
in the way of progress.
Caroline: That's certainly true.
Alice: Jonathan's wagon's here.
I didn't expect him to be home.
Will you come in for some coffee?
Caroline: Why, I believe I will.
Alice: What in the world?
They've run one of those wires right to our house.
Caroline: Must be a mistake.
Alice: Well, they're just going to have
to come and take it down, that's all.
Jonathan?
What in the world?
A telephone?
That's what they call it. Ha ha!
Why, I never in the world expected.
You tricked me.
Oh, I had that pattern picked out long ago, ha ha!
I can't get over it.
Well, you know, that money I got from the stock,
been burning a hole in my pocket,
and, well, you've been talking
about missing your ma so much lately
that when we saw you coming,
I put in a call to Minneapolis.
It'll be coming through right away.
Oh, I just can't believe it!
Do you like it?
Oh, Jonathan. It's so expensive.
That ain't what I asked you. Do you like it?
I love it!
Ha ha!
Yes, uh-huh.
Ha ha!
That's right, you're the bank's first call.
Oh, just fine, hal.
How are things in mankato?
Ha ha!
Glad to hear it.
Bill: You were first on my list of people to call.
You can do me a big favor, hal.
Hal: Just name it. Bill: Well, there's a horse
running in today's third race. Her name's domino.
Honestly, mother!
Bill: I have a very hot tip he's going to win.
Well, you know how my wife feels
about me going all that distance
just to take a chance on losing money.
So, I said to myself,
why not take advantage of having a telephone?
Hal: I understand, bill.
Bill: I knew you would! Ha ha!
I want you to put $10 on the nose for me.
Hal: I'll take care of it.
Bill: And keep it quiet.
Hal: My lips are sealed.
Bill: Thanks, hal, and talk to you tomorrow.
Hal: Right.
Listening in to other people's conversations.
Oh, will you shut up?
Am I running this telephone exchange or am I not?
Walnut grove?
Woman: Your call to Minneapolis is ready.
Oh, uh, one moment please.
Hello. Mother?
Mother: Alice.
Oh! I can't believe it!
Ha ha!
Isn't this just amazing?
I should say. How are you?
- I'm fine. - And the family?
Oh, everybody's just fine.
Andrew's doing well in school.
He's got 3 "a"s and two "b"s and a "c."
- In what? - History.
That is really something.
Charles, feel free anytime.
Who am I going to call?
Yes, I will, I will.
Uh, uh-huh.
Oh. Oh, okay.
Uh, Jonathan. She wants to say hello.
Hello, ma?
Yeah, you sound good, too.
Yeah, everything's fine at the mill.
Listen, I know you want to talk to Alice,
so, I'm going to get her back on here.
She's right here.
Yes, mother?
Alice, I want to tell you...
The strangest thing happened the other day.
Harold stopped by.
Alice?
Alice?
Yes, mother.
I will. I'll call you back a little later.
Did you hear me?
Yes, I did.
You can't really talk, can you?
No, not really.
Call me back when you're alone.
Yes, I will.
It's so good to hear your voice.
Alice: Good-bye.
That was quick.
She's got a cake in the oven,
and she was worried about it.
Alice: I'll call her again a little later.
Are you all right?
Oh, uh, I'm fine.
You're shaking.
Oh, uh...
I'm just so excited that I can't get over the surprise.
You deserve it.
Charles: I, uh, hate to break up the celebration,
but I think we have some work to do.
Yeah. Charles has got to make a delivery
down to northfield day after tomorrow.
We got a lot of work left to do.
I'll drop you off on the way.
Caroline: Oh, good.
Alice, enjoy it.
Alice: Oh, I will. Charles: Take care.
Bye.
Oh, well, i... I won't be long.
Harriet: Thank you.
Hello, mother.
Alice: I can talk, now.
Harold...
He's not coming here, is he?
Mother: Of course not.
The last thing Harold wants is to interfere in your life.
He even said so.
Oh...
Thank god.
Alice.
How does he look?
Well, 18 years in prison has to take its toll.
You still haven't told Jonathan?
No.
Well, it's your business, of course,
but I think it's foolish.
You were only married to Harold for 3 weeks,
and you were just a girl.
Well, I can't tell him now.
Not now.
Harriet: Nellie! Ha ha! Nellie!
Nellie!
Oh, Mr. Anderson is going to let US use his phone.
You want to come listen?
Nope. We got our own phone.
What?
Pa's going to surprise ma with it today.
Oh, Andy garvey, you are so lucky.
I know.
Nellie: Hello, Andrew.
- Oh, hi, Nellie. - I heard the good news.
Uh, what good news?
About your mother's first husband.
He's out of jail now.
All right. What's the rest of the joke?
It's not a joke. His name is Harold,
and he was married to your mother.
That's a dumb lie.
I think so, too. Your mother should have told the truth.
You stop teasing him, Nellie.
Nellie: I'm not teasing.
My mother told me all about it.
I'm going to tell my pa what you said.
Good idea.
I bet he'll be surprised.
Nellie: Go on.
Tell him.
Have a nice day, Laura.
Nels.
Hello, Jonathan. What a surprise.
Where's your wife?
She's in the office.
- Mrs. Oleson... - Hmm?
I'd like a word with you.
Certainly, Mr. Garvey.
How dare you spread a vicious lie about my wife?
Mr. Garvey, I do not lie.
You do.
My wife has never been married before, and you know it.
She has been, and I do know it.
I heard her talking to her mother this afternoon myself.
Mm-hmm. His name is Harold,
he's been in prison, and he was married to your wife.
Ask her.
Well, go ahead, Mr. Garvey. Ask her.
How could you do such a thing?
What am I supposed to do?
He called me a liar, and I'm not a liar.
Now, he wanted the truth, and I gave it to him.
Don't you ever let me catch you
listening in on other people's conversations again.
Now, listen here, nels oleson.
This telephone business is my idea.
So, you just run the store, and I'll run the switchboard.
All right?
Don't you look at me as if I'm wrong.
Alice garvey is the liar, not me.
Huh! I was never married before.
No, of course not.
What other idiot would have ever married you?
He's so insensitive.
Walnut grove.
Supper's going to be a little late.
I didn't expect you home so soon.
Go to your room, Andy.
I want to talk to your ma.
Andy: Yes, sir.
Shut the door.
What's wrong? The boy get in trouble at school again?
You know somebody named Harold?
I'm waiting for an answer, woman.
I did.
Oh, dear god.
She was telling the truth.
How did you find out?
Why? Why didn't you tell me about him? Why?
Because I was afraid you wouldn't marry me if you knew.
Is that so hard to understand?
Oh, yes, that you lied to me?
It wasn't a lie.
Oh, wasn't a lie? It just slipped your mind, is that it?
I... I know I was wrong, Jonathan,
and I wanted to tell you.
I swear to god, I did.
Then why didn't you?
Because I was afraid.
Please try to understand, Jonathan.
I was just a little girl.
I mean, it only lasted for 3 weeks,
and I was so ashamed when I found out what he really was,
I just couldn't tell you.
I mean, can't you see that?
No. No, I can't. Oh, my god.
To find out after all this time that...
Oh, Jonathan, please!
There must be more.
What else is there that you haven't told me?
Who else have you been with?
Oh!
Oh!
More coffee?
No, thank you.
I got to go to school.
All right, dear.
Have a nice day at school.
Laura: Hey, Andy, wait up!
What did your pa say to Mrs. Oleson?
I bet he gave her what for.
Andy: He talked to her.
Oh, I wish I could have been there.
As mad as he was, he probably scared her to death.
Albert: What did he say, Andy?
Laura: What did he say?
Andy?
It's true.
It's all true.
Mrs. Oleson was listening in
when my mom was on the telephone.
She heard it all.
Sorry, Andy.
Leave me alone.
Just leave me alone.
Andy!
That Mrs. Oleson,
she's the meanest person I know.
No. I think it's a tie between her and Nellie.
Yeah.
She's always hurting everyone.
Well, I wish someone would punch her in the nose
and hurt her.
There's only one way to hurt Mrs. Oleson,
and that's in the pocketbook.
What do you mean?
Well, money. It's her life's blood.
She must be listening in on everybody's phone calls.
- Come on. - Where are we going?
Just come on.
He did, did he?
Hal: Yup. Paid 7 to one.
Well, well, well!
Put $2.00 on him, myself.
You get any more hot tips like that,
don't hesitate to call.
Oh, I certainly won't. Thanks again, hal.
Ha ha, ha ha!
Well, good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
And what can I do for you?
Well, I was thinking
of putting some more money in my savings account.
Good idea.
But I kept wondering...
2% sure isn't much.
No, it isn't until it starts adding up.
And it does add up. You'd be surprised. Ha ha.
And it beats keeping it all in a cigar box.
Well, what I wanted to ask was,
would it be wrong to take just a little bit of it
and maybe take a chance on making more than 2%?
Well, I'm afraid I don't...
Albert: Because maybe, if you get another hot tip on a horse race...
Bill: Now, what? What?
I said, maybe if you get anoth...
Bill: I heard you.
How in the world did you know about that?
I don't know. Guess I just heard about it.
Seems to me like a lot of people know.
But I never told a soul.
Did you talk about it on that telephone?
Yes, I did.
Well, that explains it.
You see, Mrs. Oleson, she listens in.
Uh, excuse me.
Hello.
Bill: Uh, yes, George.
No. The paperwork on the townsend loan isn't finished yet.
Gesundheit.
You didn't?
Bill: Well, neither did I.
Uh, George...
Listen, I'll put some pressure on things.
Yeah. It should be ready by Friday. I'll call you.
Somebody sneezed.
Mrs. Oleson also has hay fever.
How dare that woman!
I'm going to give her a piece of my mind!
Mr. Anderson, wait!
Yelling at her won't do any good.
Well, I'm not letting her get away with it.
And I don't think you should,
but there's a better way...
Albert: A way you can get her good for listening in.
How?
Let's go in the back and talk.
All right.
We're going to be late for school.
It will be worth it.
Did you finish the order
that Charles is taking to northfield?
Yeah.
Will you be working at the mill while he's gone?
Some.
Well, maybe you can get the barn roof fixed.
How long is he going to be gone?
Overnight.
Jonathan, I don't think I can take much more of this.
Now, I mean it.
You won't look at me. You won't talk to me.
I'm talking.
Is that what you call it?
Doing the best I can.
I can't help the way I feel.
Well, neither can I.
I guess we're just stuck with it, ain't we?
You're never going to let me forget, are you?
No, because I can't.
Andy: Stop it!
Can't you please stop it?
I think we have to be away from each other for a while.
I'll go to northfield with Charles.
Harriet: Walnut grove.
Mrs. Oleson, would you get me 837 in mankato, please?
It's very important.
- Certainly. - Thank you.
I just hope Mr. Oleson doesn't get involved.
Bill: Don't worry. He won't.
Nels is far too sensible a man.
Man: Hello?
Walter, bill Anderson.
Hi, bill.
Bill: I have got the juiciest tip of my life!
Smith pharmaceutical stock is about to go through the roof.
I want you to buy up $5,000 of it for me.
Yeah, but, bill...
Now, don't argue with me.
Have I ever been wrong about a thing like this?
Mark my words.
It'll be worth 10 times what is it now
by the end of the month.
Through the roof, I tell you!
Smith pharmaceuticals is going to make a fortune.
Now, you get that order in right away
before the word starts spreading.
I see no limit to where that stock can go!
- But, bill, i... - just buy it!
Done.
Bull's-eye.
All right, Albert. Get going.
Walnut grove.
Bill: Nellie, this is Mr. Anderson.
Please get me 837 in mankato.
Certainly, Mr. Anderson.
Nellie: Mankato, 837, please.
Thank you, operator.
- Mr. Anderson? - Uh-huh.
Your party's on the line.
Thank you.
Hi, Nellie. What you doing?
Doing? I'm not doing anything.
What do you want? I'm busy.
Well, how can you be busy
if you aren't doing nothing?
I just am, that's all.
Oh. Well, I won't want to keep you, then.
Oh, can you give this to Willie for me?
I found it, and I knew he wanted one.
Yes. Just go.
There.
Aah!
Ma!
Ha ha!
Nellie: Ma!
Ha. Good job, Herman.
Albert: Ha ha!
That's right, Walter.
Cancel the order I just put in
for Smith pharmaceuticals.
I have new information.
Walter: Glad to hear that, bill.
I thought you would be.
Bye-bye.
I should feel guilty about this,
but I don't.
- What? - I said you have been snooping again.
Oh, nels. Call it what you like.
We're going to be rich.
I want nothing to do with it, Harriet.
- Nels. - I want nothing to do with it!
All right. I'll use my money, then.
Nels: What do you know about the stock market?
Enough to get rich.
Do you realize how many fools
lose their shirts in the stock market?
Oh, my goodness, nels oleson.
Are you calling bill Anderson a fool?
No, but he could be wrong.
Another thing... Why do you insist
upon hiding all of that money here at home?
Because I don't trust banks.
Harriet, will you listen to reason?
Oh, nels, please! I know what I'm doing!
Now, being rich isn't important to you,
but it's very important to me.
Do you think I want to spend the rest of my life
in this... This village?
Well, I love this village.
All right, then you just stay here.
I'll give you my share of the store. 10, 20, 30,
40, 50.
Get out of here. Get out of here and leave me alone!
I've got to count my money. I've got to get to mankato.
- 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. - You're going to mankato?
- 60, 70. - We've got a telephone.
Why don't you take advantage of it?
Phone in your order and wire the money.
You are so naive.
If I call in the order, some unscrupulous person might be listening in,
and then they'd go right out, and they would buy the stocks,
and the price of stocks would go right through the roof.
How silly of me.
I just thought you were one of a kind.
Nels: I'll go hitch up your buckboard.
Oh, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.
I just don't know how all this happened.
You live with a woman all these years.
You think you know her and...
And everything just falls to pieces.
How many years you've been married?
Oh, I don't know.
15, maybe 16.
That's a long time.
They've been good years, haven't they?
Yeah, the best.
I just don't know what I'm going to do now.
If I were you, I wouldn't throw away 16 good years
because of something that happened long before you even met Alice.
Charles, if only she had told me.
You keep saying that. The fact of the matter is she didn't tell you.
Nothing is going to change that.
She's still the same woman you loved all these years.
She made a mistake, she didn't tell you.
We've all kept a secret at one time or another in our lives.
No. I haven't.
Not even once?
No.
I haven't been appreciating you properly, Jonathan.
I didn't know you were perfect.
You're wasting your time being a farmer. You could have been a Saint.
There you go, Charles.
Thank you, Gregory.
Give my best to the missis.
I will. Say hello to Charlotte for me.
Here's your half.
Not bad, I'd say.
Let's find ourselves a hotel.
Charles, I've been thinking,
we're awful close to Minneapolis.
Well, Alice's mother would appreciate a visit.
Might help if I can talk to her.
I don't know. What do you think?
Let's go.
I still can't get over it.
Such a surprise.
I hope it wasn't inconvenient for you.
Oh, land's sakes, no.
This is a big house, more than enough empty bedrooms.
I don't even know why I keep it.
A body can get awful lonely in a big house.
Jonathan?
Is Alice feeling all right?
Why do you ask?
Mother: Oh, I just thought I heard something in her voice.
Well, truth is she was awful upset
when she heard about...
About Harold.
Mother: Oh, she told you.
Yeah, she, uh, she decided to.
Well, Jonathan, I'm very relieved.
I always thought it was wrong of Alice to keep that from you.
Yeah, it was.
But I can see that you've taken it well.
Somehow I always knew you would.
Ha.
I keep wondering what he's like.
He's a pitiful sight now,
but when he boarded here...
He lived here?
Several gentlemen did,
and they were gentlemen,
especially Harold.
You know, Alice's father died when she was so young.
He was the closest she knew to a father.
He was with US through all of her growing-up years.
A fine man.
So handsome and well-dressed all the time.
Always seemed to have more money than he knew what to do with.
Harold could easily have afforded better than was offered him here,
but he absolutely worshipped Alice
and wouldn't think of living anywhere else.
I can tell you I wasn't surprised
that he proposed marriage
when Alice had grown into a young woman.
Jonathan...
We hadn't an inkling that he gambled for a living.
None.
If we had, it never would have happened.
What's he doing now?
He's working as a bartender
in a place called the good times saloon
over in the warehouse district.
Terrible place, I'm told,
but I suppose that's the best he could get.
Every day from noon to midnight closing.
Not much of a life, I'd say.
How about some more chicken?
There's plenty.
No. I'm full, thank you.
I don't get to the big city very often.
I think I'm going to go out and look around a little bit.
You want some company?
No, Charles. I know how tired you are.
I ain't going to be gone long.
Thanks for the good supper, ma.
Mother: You're welcome, Jonathan.
Can I get you anything else? Some coffee?
Yes, thank you.
What'll it be?
I'll have a... I'll have a beer.
Man: Harold,
two more of the same.
Coming.
Closing time.
Do you mind if I finish this?
Mister, closing time is closing time.
I'd like to buy you a drink.
Well, now, that throws a little different light on it.
I'll have another one of those.
I've been aching for this all night.
The owner, he can tell right down to the penny
what's gone and... And not paid for.
A man's got to quench his thirst.
That he does.
Name's John...
John gifford.
Oh, people just call me Harold.
You're not from this part of the city.
Your clothes are too clean.
No. I'm just traveling through.
I do a lot of traveling.
Salesman?
Farm implements.
It's a good living.
Gets awful lonely at times.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know about lonely.
Be my guest.
Thanks.
You married?
Oh, was once.
You?
No...
Not that I wouldn't like to be.
Guess I just ain't met the right woman.
Maybe if I keep looking, I'll get lucky.
Yeah. Maybe you will.
I was that lucky once.
But like a damn fool,
I let her slip through my fingers...
18 years ago.
Prettiest thing you ever saw.
There hasn't been a day since
that I haven't thought of her.
What happened?
Ohh...
You can't tell from looking at me now,
but in my young days, I...
I was quite the gentleman about town.
Had the world in my pocket,
or so I thought.
Gambler. Good at it, too.
Of course, I...
I never told Alice what I did for a living.
And, uh, I told her I...
Had property, had to collect rents.
We had been married a week,
and one day, my... My luck turned sour,
and I lost everything.
More than everything.
I was in debt pretty deep,
and some fellows don't take kindly to not being paid.
I could have held them off for a while, I guess...
Got a regular job and paid them in time,
and I was just burning to get back to where I was.
You know, see, gamblers, they meet all kinds,
and desperate like I was,
I... I fell into a scheme to Rob a bank.
Didn't work out.
Spent the next 18 years in prison.
If I'd only told Alice the truth to start with...
Why didn't you?
I was afraid I'd lose her.
And after they let me out,
I heard that Alice was happily married
and had a son.
I can't help but wonder
if that man knows how lucky he is.
Uh, got to be going.
Your... your change.
No. Keep it.
Have another drink.
Appreciate it.
Hey, you all right? I started getting worried.
Yeah, I'm all right.
I saw him.
What?
Harold... I talked to him.
What for?
I don't know.
I guess I just had to see what he was like.
And that was the whole reason
for coming here in the first place, huh?
Yeah.
What happened?
Well, I didn't hit him,
if that's what you're thinking.
Although, I got to admit
I did think about that before I saw him.
He's just a tired, beaten old man.
I didn't even tell him who I was.
Just bought him a couple of drinks
and we talked.
You know what he said to me, Charles?
He said he wondered if the man Alice married
knew how lucky he was.
Does he?
Yes, he does.
Nellie, will you stop that racket?
It's called music.
I think you could play it better with your toes.
You wouldn't talk to me that way if ma was here.
Well, she's not here, so, keep it quiet!
What in the world happened to you?
I lost it.
Harriet: All of it!
I owned 50% of a company.
And all of a sudden, it was worthless.
You wouldn't listen to me, would you?
Nels...
I'm ruined.
None of this would have happened
if you hadn't been snooping in
on other people's conversations.
I know.
You're right.
Well, thank god
we... we still have the store.
Not we, Harriet.
I still have the store.
Remember?
Nels!
You can't mean...
I can, and I certainly do.
Well, you're the one that laid down that law.
But how am I going to pay my bills?
You figure it out.
That's what comes of buying all this nonsense on credit...
Piano, jewelry, crystal.
You said you could pay it all yourself.
Well, now you can do it.
But I...
How?
Get a job.
Get a job?
Where?
That's a very good question, Harriet.
Nels...
Ugh!
Anything else?
Yeah. After you finish the deliveries,
you can sweep out the storeroom.
Looks like a goat's been living in there.
Nels!
Aren't you going to do anything?
Oh, yeah. I'm going to do something.
I'm going to go fishing.
Oh, fiddlesti...
Ow! Ah!
Oh! Oh!
Oh, my toe!
Whoa.
Hello, Jonathan.
Hi, pa.
Before anything else,
I got something to say to both of you.
I was wrong.
So wrong, I'm ashamed of myself,
and I just hope you can forgive me.
Oh, Jonathan.
Jonathan!
Oh, I've never missed anybody so much in my life!
You're just on time.
Supper's just about ready,
and I made plenty for you, just in case.
Something I got to do first.
Now we can eat.
