Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,204 --> 00:00:05,204
Something wrong?
2
00:00:05,272 --> 00:00:06,916
Yeah, we've got a little
problem with the brakes.
3
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:08,431
Hang on, Jim-Bob.
4
00:00:11,912 --> 00:00:13,505
Jim-Bob was in that car!
5
00:00:14,248 --> 00:00:16,877
Jason, go get my
bag, it's in the car.
6
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:20,416
- Do you believe in love at first sight?
- Quiet, I'm counting.
7
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:25,086
What do you think you're doing?
8
00:00:25,259 --> 00:00:29,629
- Marry me... now.
- I can't.
9
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:33,460
- No.
- Yes.
10
00:00:42,843 --> 00:00:45,210
- Yes.
- Yes?
11
00:00:45,279 --> 00:00:46,975
- Yes.
- Yes.
12
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:51,007
I have to know if you've
ever seen this man before.
13
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:57,081
It's my husband Curt. He
was killed at Pearl Harbor.
14
00:00:58,825 --> 00:01:00,191
Where did you get this?
15
00:01:01,728 --> 00:01:03,697
I took it myself
about a month ago.
16
00:02:21,675 --> 00:02:25,840
As World War II was gradually
consigned to the pages of history books,
17
00:02:25,912 --> 00:02:29,280
life on Walton's Mountain
began returning to normal.
18
00:02:29,349 --> 00:02:32,319
Store shelves bulged
with food and other goods
19
00:02:32,386 --> 00:02:34,685
that ha d been scarce
during the fighting,
20
00:02:34,755 --> 00:02:39,022
and families were reunited as
the young men headed home.
21
00:02:39,092 --> 00:02:42,358
But peace didn't necessarily
mean an end to turbulence.
22
00:02:42,429 --> 00:02:46,093
Life would always somehow
manage to keep us off balance.
23
00:02:50,671 --> 00:02:52,367
How far are you going?
24
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,273
Well, it's hard to say, soldier.
I keep aiming at the horizon,
25
00:02:55,342 --> 00:02:58,312
but it somehow manages
to stay in front of me.
26
00:02:58,378 --> 00:03:00,540
Name is Arlington
Westcott Jones Ill.
27
00:03:00,614 --> 00:03:02,708
- That's a mouthful.
- Yeah.
28
00:03:02,783 --> 00:03:06,083
- You can call me Jonesy.
- My name's James Robert Walton.
29
00:03:06,153 --> 00:03:08,645
My family calls me Jim-Bob.
30
00:03:08,722 --> 00:03:10,384
Which way you headed, Jim-Bob?
31
00:03:10,457 --> 00:03:13,825
Well, I got a two week furlough and
I'm headed home, to Walton's Mountain.
32
00:03:13,894 --> 00:03:16,295
Yeah? Well, you can point
me to it. I'll take you there.
33
00:03:16,363 --> 00:03:19,925
You haven't got much choice.
That's where this road goes.
34
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:23,796
Oh, no.
35
00:03:24,438 --> 00:03:25,438
Something wrong?
36
00:03:25,505 --> 00:03:27,150
Yeah, we've got a little
problem with the brakes.
37
00:03:27,174 --> 00:03:28,802
Hang on, Jim-Bob.
38
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:43,982
Well?
39
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:45,685
Well, what?
40
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:49,890
Well, you said you wanted to come
along so we could talk about something.
41
00:03:51,364 --> 00:03:53,629
Dew Drop Inn's for sale.
42
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,134
Corabeth's been
pushing that wreck
43
00:03:55,202 --> 00:03:58,195
ever since Callie closed
it up and moved away.
44
00:03:59,372 --> 00:04:02,342
What would you say
if I told you I bought it?
45
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:04,674
Look out!
46
00:04:08,682 --> 00:04:10,583
Jim-Bob was in that car!
47
00:04:15,722 --> 00:04:17,362
Maybe you better try
the emergency brake.
48
00:04:17,424 --> 00:04:19,723
It's no use. It never did work.
49
00:04:31,772 --> 00:04:34,105
You better do something.
That next turn's a beaut.
50
00:04:34,174 --> 00:04:35,802
Hang on. Hang on.
51
00:04:54,027 --> 00:04:55,393
Jim-Bob!
52
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:56,906
- What happened?
- Brakes went out.
53
00:04:56,930 --> 00:05:00,025
- Are you all right?
- It's Jonesy you better look at.
54
00:05:02,736 --> 00:05:03,829
Easy.
55
00:05:05,272 --> 00:05:07,867
Jason, go get my
bag, it's in the car.
56
00:05:21,188 --> 00:05:24,215
And to think I could hardly
wait to get out of the service.
57
00:05:24,291 --> 00:05:26,590
Civilian life can be dangerous.
58
00:05:27,928 --> 00:05:31,160
I spend the best part of my
youth defending this country,
59
00:05:31,231 --> 00:05:35,601
and some used car dealer in San Francisco
sells me a lemon at black market prices.
60
00:05:35,669 --> 00:05:39,106
Well, it's been a long war.
There's nothing left but lemons.
61
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:45,001
It was a bearing in Cheyenne, a
water pump in Milwaukee, and now this.
62
00:05:45,078 --> 00:05:47,172
Jim-Bob said there was
an accident on the Mountain.
63
00:05:47,247 --> 00:05:49,292
Well, I shudder to think
what could have happened.
64
00:05:49,316 --> 00:05:51,512
This is the driver, Jonesy.
65
00:05:51,585 --> 00:05:53,850
- Hi. I'm Erin.
- You're pretty.
66
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,321
I think he'll live, Mary Ellen.
67
00:05:56,389 --> 00:05:58,381
All right, follow my finger.
68
00:06:01,561 --> 00:06:04,156
How do you happen to know
so much about medicine?
69
00:06:04,231 --> 00:06:06,462
- I'm a nurse.
- On her way to being a doctor.
70
00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:09,765
Working much too
hard at it, if you ask me.
71
00:06:09,836 --> 00:06:12,396
Well, you check out fine so far,
but you might have a concussion,
72
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:14,150
so I'd like to keep an
eye on you for a while.
73
00:06:14,174 --> 00:06:15,198
That's okay with me.
74
00:06:15,275 --> 00:06:18,336
It was fun riding down here
with my head in your lap.
75
00:06:18,411 --> 00:06:21,677
Well, now what do you plan to
do that you're out of the service?
76
00:06:21,748 --> 00:06:24,912
I'm doing it. Seeing the USA.
77
00:06:26,253 --> 00:06:30,247
No maps, no
schedules, coast to coast.
78
00:06:31,324 --> 00:06:34,783
Sleeping in the
sunshine, eating all I want.
79
00:06:34,861 --> 00:06:37,888
- Meeting beautiful women.
- You can't do that forever.
80
00:06:37,964 --> 00:06:42,732
Well, now most veterans are settling
into jobs, making up for lost time.
81
00:06:43,870 --> 00:06:46,135
I got four years to
make up for myself,
82
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:49,199
and I'm not going to do it
sitting in some stuffy office.
83
00:06:49,276 --> 00:06:51,677
I want to breathe fresh air,
84
00:06:51,745 --> 00:06:54,044
see what's over the hill,
around the next curve.
85
00:06:54,114 --> 00:06:57,312
After today, I think you
ought to give up on curves.
86
00:06:58,251 --> 00:07:00,743
John Curtis is up and,
boy, is he in a bad mood.
87
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:04,552
He's always crabby after
a nap. I'll take care of him.
88
00:07:04,624 --> 00:07:06,002
Hey, Jonesy, me and
Ben are gonna go up
89
00:07:06,026 --> 00:07:07,737
and see if we can get you
car running. Is that okay?
90
00:07:07,761 --> 00:07:09,889
- Yeah, I'll go with you.
- No, you won't.
91
00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:12,933
I'd like you to take it easy
until I'm sure you're okay.
92
00:07:12,999 --> 00:07:14,695
She's little but she's mean.
93
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:17,670
- Hey, Jim-Bob, ready to go?
- Yeah. Hey, Ben, this is Jonesy.
94
00:07:17,737 --> 00:07:19,035
Jonesy, this is my brother Ben.
95
00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:20,105
- Hey.
- How do you do?
96
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:21,471
Sorry to hear what happened.
97
00:07:21,541 --> 00:07:24,340
Yeah, sure puts me in a spot.
98
00:07:24,411 --> 00:07:28,746
Is there a hotel around
here, or a tourist house?
99
00:07:28,815 --> 00:07:32,013
Not around here. I'll tell you what,
I'm a little shorthanded in the mill,
100
00:07:32,085 --> 00:07:35,385
and if you want to give me a hand,
you can stay there until your car's fixed.
101
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:37,856
Thank you. But I'm not
in the market for a job.
102
00:07:37,924 --> 00:07:40,155
At least not in the
foreseeable future anyway.
103
00:07:40,226 --> 00:07:43,993
Well, it's only temporary. And
you can have meals with the family.
104
00:07:47,534 --> 00:07:50,868
It's a deal. When do I start?
105
00:07:50,937 --> 00:07:53,873
Well, not today. You're
going to lie down for a while.
106
00:07:54,541 --> 00:07:55,839
Okay, we'll see you later.
107
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:57,241
- Bye.
- Bye. All right.
108
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:58,835
Got another worker.
109
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,448
- Give me a hand.
- I think you'll live.
110
00:08:01,514 --> 00:08:02,777
You bet.
111
00:08:05,719 --> 00:08:08,001
We'll get a cot set
up for you in the mill,
112
00:08:08,025 --> 00:08:10,384
but for now I'd like
you to rest right here.
113
00:08:10,457 --> 00:08:12,392
Are you going to
read to me, too?
114
00:08:12,459 --> 00:08:14,257
Uncle Wiggley is my favorite.
115
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:16,626
I think I'll just try and
keep things quiet for you.
116
00:08:16,696 --> 00:08:18,028
All right.
117
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:31,103
- Do you believe in love at first sight?
- Quiet, I'm counting.
118
00:08:32,445 --> 00:08:36,212
I'm not sure, but I think
that's what happened
119
00:08:36,282 --> 00:08:39,650
when I opened my eyes and
saw you staring down at me.
120
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:42,431
If you keep on raving like that,
121
00:08:42,455 --> 00:08:45,550
I'm gonna know for sure
that you have a head injury.
122
00:08:47,727 --> 00:08:49,525
What do you think you're doing?
123
00:08:49,596 --> 00:08:50,962
Who's that?
124
00:08:57,937 --> 00:09:00,065
This is John Curtis, my son.
125
00:09:01,608 --> 00:09:04,442
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
126
00:09:05,145 --> 00:09:07,171
I didn't know I was
kissing a married lady.
127
00:09:07,247 --> 00:09:10,740
Well, maybe you'll stop
and think next time. Come on.
128
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:25,791
I don't remember it
being this run down.
129
00:09:25,865 --> 00:09:27,925
Oh, why, the
possibilities are endless.
130
00:09:28,001 --> 00:09:31,938
You could easily extend the bar
and make it into a concert stage,
131
00:09:32,005 --> 00:09:34,133
and there's still plenty
of room for seating.
132
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:35,505
A concert stage?
133
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:39,740
But you said buying the Dew Drop would
enable you to continue your musical career.
134
00:09:39,813 --> 00:09:43,614
It will. I used to play here before
I went into the Army, remember?
135
00:09:43,683 --> 00:09:45,208
But I assumed...
136
00:09:46,619 --> 00:09:51,057
Well, I assumed you intend
to turn this into a concert hall.
137
00:09:51,124 --> 00:09:53,320
I'm not good enough, Corabeth.
138
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:55,071
I just wanted to keep
the Dew Drop running
139
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:58,862
so I'd have a place to play my
tunes and an audience to hear them.
140
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:01,424
I find that piece of news
extremely distressing.
141
00:10:01,501 --> 00:10:05,905
I had hoped that the community would
never again have to suffer a roadhouse.
142
00:10:07,307 --> 00:10:08,969
Is my piano bar
around here someplace?
143
00:10:09,042 --> 00:10:11,011
Well, I understand
that Callie sold it.
144
00:10:11,077 --> 00:10:14,536
Because once you went in the Army, there
was no one left to play it, of course.
145
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:18,574
But there is a perfectly
respectable player piano.
146
00:10:18,651 --> 00:10:22,315
The only respectable thing
in this roadhouse, I might add.
147
00:10:22,922 --> 00:10:25,653
I reckon it'll have
to do for now.
148
00:10:25,725 --> 00:10:27,591
Had you considered
149
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:31,290
turning this into a
restaurant or a little theater?
150
00:10:31,364 --> 00:10:34,892
The community is simply
desperate for a cultural center.
151
00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:37,902
It's the Dew Drop
or nothing, Corabeth.
152
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:40,566
I'm beginning to
wish it was nothing.
153
00:10:44,544 --> 00:10:45,568
Hi.
154
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:47,136
- Hi.
- Hi.
155
00:10:47,213 --> 00:10:49,705
Rose sent me out
here. Is this for me?
156
00:10:49,782 --> 00:10:51,580
It is if you're Jonesy.
157
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:53,462
It's not the most
comfortable bed in the world,
158
00:10:53,486 --> 00:10:56,422
but it's got to be
better than the Marines.
159
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:57,513
How do you feel?
160
00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:00,719
I'm finding muscles
I didn't know I had.
161
00:11:00,793 --> 00:11:02,371
You were still asleep
in the living room
162
00:11:02,395 --> 00:11:04,023
when I brought the linens down.
163
00:11:04,097 --> 00:11:05,793
- I'm Cindy, Ben's wife. Hi.
- Cindy.
164
00:11:05,865 --> 00:11:08,061
- I'm Elizabeth.
- Elizabeth.
165
00:11:08,134 --> 00:11:11,571
- How many people live out here anyway?
- There are a lot of us.
166
00:11:11,638 --> 00:11:14,335
I wouldn't try and count
us, we come and go so fast.
167
00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:18,902
Well, I guess I've met just about
everybody except for Mary Ellen's husband.
168
00:11:23,783 --> 00:11:25,945
Mary Ellen's been a
widow for four years.
169
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:28,352
Curt was killed at Pearl Harbor.
170
00:11:35,261 --> 00:11:39,392
I'm awfully sorry. She
deserves better than that.
171
00:11:39,933 --> 00:11:44,200
Well, it was a long time ago. She
hardly ever talks about it anymore.
172
00:11:45,305 --> 00:11:47,638
It's just too bad she
hasn't found anybody else.
173
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,199
- Well, she's choosey.
- Choosey, huh?
174
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:56,974
We'll just see about that.
175
00:12:06,926 --> 00:12:09,828
It's kind of late for
you to be up, isn't it?
176
00:12:09,896 --> 00:12:12,422
I was just trying to get caught
up on my chemistry assignments.
177
00:12:12,498 --> 00:12:15,866
Everything sort of runs
together this time of night.
178
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:17,631
What are you doing up?
179
00:12:17,704 --> 00:12:20,640
I have a little trouble
sleeping sometimes.
180
00:12:23,343 --> 00:12:25,054
You know, I've been
halfway around the world
181
00:12:25,078 --> 00:12:29,072
and I have never seen
the stars brighter anywhere.
182
00:12:29,148 --> 00:12:32,414
That's because the air is
so clear in the mountains.
183
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:40,258
See that little pattern of stars over
there about to disappear behind the barn?
184
00:12:40,326 --> 00:12:41,794
That's Andromeda.
185
00:12:41,861 --> 00:12:43,523
I never knew it had a name.
186
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:46,361
Andromeda was a princess
187
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:50,528
who was rescued from a sea
monster by Perseus, her future husband.
188
00:12:51,237 --> 00:12:54,332
And now she's living
happily ever after up there?
189
00:13:00,380 --> 00:13:02,713
So, tell me about your husband.
190
00:13:03,850 --> 00:13:06,979
He was a doctor.
He was very special.
191
00:13:07,854 --> 00:13:09,584
He didn't have to join
the Army when he did,
192
00:13:09,656 --> 00:13:12,751
he just believed it was
the right thing to do.
193
00:13:14,594 --> 00:13:16,338
Is he the reason you're
beating your brains out,
194
00:13:16,362 --> 00:13:19,161
trying to memorize
the periodic table?
195
00:13:19,232 --> 00:13:21,463
He wanted to
contribute something,
196
00:13:21,534 --> 00:13:25,403
to make a better world
for the future. So do I.
197
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:31,100
Yeah. I quit believing in a future
the day I waded ashore at Iwo Jima.
198
00:13:32,245 --> 00:13:35,977
I promised
myself, if I survived,
199
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:41,451
I would try to live every day
for itself. Each one is like a gift,
200
00:13:41,521 --> 00:13:44,650
and my only
responsibility is to enjoy it.
201
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:49,126
- That sounds very selfish to me.
- You should try it sometime.
202
00:13:52,065 --> 00:13:55,229
You're too young to be
getting all those frown lines.
203
00:13:57,370 --> 00:13:58,429
I better be getting back.
204
00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:02,532
I have about two hours of studying
to do and early class tomorrow.
205
00:14:02,608 --> 00:14:04,577
Andromeda's almost gone.
206
00:14:05,311 --> 00:14:09,476
She'll be back tomorrow
night, same time, same place,
207
00:14:09,549 --> 00:14:12,383
and next year, and for
1,000 years after that.
208
00:14:12,452 --> 00:14:13,729
Whether or not I keep wandering,
209
00:14:13,753 --> 00:14:16,723
or whether or not you
get your chemistry done.
210
00:14:18,591 --> 00:14:19,957
Goodnight.
211
00:14:23,162 --> 00:14:25,791
I'm... I better...
212
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:27,009
I got to get back to the mill.
213
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:30,629
I'm starting to feel like I
might want to kiss you again.
214
00:14:38,378 --> 00:14:41,007
- Here you go, honey. Hot off the griddle.
- Thank you.
215
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,208
Is anybody asking to
want more batter cakes?
216
00:14:43,282 --> 00:14:44,910
- I do.
- All right.
217
00:14:46,285 --> 00:14:48,550
Jim-Bob, you're
shoveling it in again.
218
00:14:48,621 --> 00:14:50,249
I wanna get started
on Jonesy's car.
219
00:14:50,323 --> 00:14:53,418
Oh, what a dreamer. You'll
never get that clunker going again.
220
00:14:53,493 --> 00:14:55,826
It was a waste of time
going up there after it.
221
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:56,919
Look who's up.
222
00:14:56,996 --> 00:14:58,430
- Hey, Jonesy.
- Hi.
223
00:14:58,498 --> 00:15:02,594
There's a woodpecker working on a tree
out by the mill, or I'd still be asleep.
224
00:15:02,668 --> 00:15:04,660
Why don't you sit down
and have some breakfast?
225
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:07,149
Another five minutes and you would
have missed breakfast altogether.
226
00:15:07,173 --> 00:15:09,108
Meals are served
on time around here.
227
00:15:09,175 --> 00:15:10,939
Just like in the
Marine Corps, huh?
228
00:15:11,010 --> 00:15:13,502
You're starting to understand.
229
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:15,724
Is your mother always this
grouchy in the morning, Johnny,
230
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:18,149
or does she
save it for visitors?
231
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:24,181
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
232
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:26,590
Take a look at this.
What do you think?
233
00:15:26,659 --> 00:15:29,390
"Dew Drop Inn. Jason Walton"?
234
00:15:30,363 --> 00:15:34,801
- What does this mean, Jason?
- You were serious about buying that place?
235
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:37,132
I've got to do something
now that I'm out of the Army.
236
00:15:37,203 --> 00:15:39,638
I know the Dew Drop, and it
seemed like a good opportunity.
237
00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:43,164
But you're a college graduate. You
shouldn't be running a roadhouse.
238
00:15:43,242 --> 00:15:44,471
What's wrong with that?
239
00:15:44,544 --> 00:15:46,979
I don't know. It just seems
like a waste of talent.
240
00:15:47,046 --> 00:15:50,505
Mama's going to hate it. She didn't
want you working there in the first place.
241
00:15:50,583 --> 00:15:53,075
You should have talked
it over with us first, Jason.
242
00:15:53,152 --> 00:15:55,553
I'm beginning to wish I
hadn't even told you about it.
243
00:15:55,621 --> 00:15:59,524
You'll never open in two weeks. I've
seen that place, it needs lots of work.
244
00:15:59,592 --> 00:16:01,458
I hope you're not
counting on the mill money.
245
00:16:01,527 --> 00:16:03,689
We're spread
pretty thin as it is.
246
00:16:03,763 --> 00:16:06,824
Don't worry, I'm not
asking for your help.
247
00:16:06,899 --> 00:16:09,459
I just thought you'd
be glad for me, is all.
248
00:16:09,535 --> 00:16:11,766
Guess I should
have known better.
249
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:15,574
Thanks for all the good wishes.
250
00:16:17,343 --> 00:16:20,074
Makes me glad I'm an only child.
251
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:23,514
A little good advice
wouldn't hurt you either. Bye.
252
00:16:28,788 --> 00:16:31,849
- She's crazy about me.
- I can tell.
253
00:16:33,326 --> 00:16:36,194
Would you mind if I
put this in your window?
254
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:40,160
Oh, well, Jason, I don't
think it would be appropriate
255
00:16:40,233 --> 00:16:43,294
for a family store
to advertise a tavern.
256
00:16:44,103 --> 00:16:47,699
Perhaps you can nail it on
a tree or a telephone pole.
257
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:50,207
But you sold it to me.
258
00:16:50,977 --> 00:16:55,642
Believing that your intentions
were of a far more honorable nature.
259
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:59,877
Look, Corabeth, I'm
gonna need your support
260
00:16:59,952 --> 00:17:01,818
if I'm going to make
a go of this thing.
261
00:17:01,888 --> 00:17:05,256
Jason, I would gladly support
an eating establishment.
262
00:17:05,324 --> 00:17:09,227
A concert hall would earn my
undying respect and devotion.
263
00:17:09,295 --> 00:17:15,098
But I cannot in good conscience
endorse a common highway hangout.
264
00:17:15,167 --> 00:17:19,628
Fine. If that's the way you feel
about it, I don't need your help.
265
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:23,039
I don't need Mary Ellen's
help, I don't need Ben's,
266
00:17:23,109 --> 00:17:25,135
and I don't need yours.
267
00:17:28,347 --> 00:17:29,838
What did I do?
268
00:17:30,449 --> 00:17:32,680
I'm going back to my realty.
269
00:17:32,752 --> 00:17:35,688
The mercantile's giving
me a sick headache.
270
00:17:52,338 --> 00:17:54,898
Oh, Jim-Bob, if you're
looking for that leftover chicken,
271
00:17:54,974 --> 00:17:58,376
I'm afraid it's turned into
chicken salad sandwiches.
272
00:17:58,444 --> 00:18:01,471
That's okay, Rose. I'll
settle for a piece of this cake.
273
00:18:01,547 --> 00:18:05,314
- How's my car coming, Jim-Bob?
- More dead than alive.
274
00:18:05,384 --> 00:18:09,719
I've been working on it for a week now and
it's still got serious internal injuries.
275
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:12,918
- Hi, Mary Ellen.
- Hello.
276
00:18:15,061 --> 00:18:16,654
Thanks, Jim-Bob.
277
00:18:16,729 --> 00:18:17,958
You got to learn all of this?
278
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:20,590
Yes. Can I please have it
back, so I can finish studying?
279
00:18:20,666 --> 00:18:22,658
Glad I caught you
in a good mood.
280
00:18:22,735 --> 00:18:26,069
Oh, I'm sorry. I've been a bear lately
and I didn't mean to take it out on you.
281
00:18:26,138 --> 00:18:29,506
It's okay. I've got a top sergeant
who does the same thing.
282
00:18:29,575 --> 00:18:33,137
- What's going on here?
- Johnny and I are going on a picnic.
283
00:18:33,212 --> 00:18:34,646
Says who?
284
00:18:34,714 --> 00:18:37,411
Well, it's by mutual
agreement. Right, Johnny?
285
00:18:37,883 --> 00:18:40,648
I thought you were
supposed to be helping Ben?
286
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,349
Well, I gave myself
the afternoon off.
287
00:18:43,422 --> 00:18:45,914
Why don't you pry yourself
away from that pile of books there
288
00:18:45,992 --> 00:18:47,255
and come along with us?
289
00:18:47,326 --> 00:18:50,160
It might be a nice change
for you, Mary Ellen.
290
00:18:50,229 --> 00:18:52,874
I'm not going anywhere this
afternoon and neither is this young man.
291
00:18:52,898 --> 00:18:56,130
I've got a lot of studying to
do, and he has to take his nap.
292
00:18:56,202 --> 00:18:59,468
Suit yourself. But what do you
want your son to remember?
293
00:18:59,538 --> 00:19:01,473
That his mother was a grind,
294
00:19:01,540 --> 00:19:04,567
or that she took him
on a picnic one fine day?
295
00:19:06,178 --> 00:19:08,443
Would you like an apple?
296
00:19:08,514 --> 00:19:12,918
That's the same question Eve
asked Adam, and look where it got him.
297
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:15,284
A simple yes or
no would do fine.
298
00:19:18,658 --> 00:19:21,856
Okay, Johnny. Here you go.
299
00:19:23,396 --> 00:19:24,455
Why don't you take that?
300
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:27,830
Maybe you can share that with
that squirrel we spotted earlier.
301
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:31,530
Okay? Go look for
him. There he is.
302
00:19:42,281 --> 00:19:44,375
Why do you call him Johnny?
303
00:19:45,251 --> 00:19:49,018
Because it suits him. Why
do you call him John Curtis?
304
00:19:49,088 --> 00:19:51,284
Curtis was his father's name.
305
00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:56,053
Here. For you.
306
00:19:56,128 --> 00:19:59,155
Johnny and I found
that down by the creek.
307
00:19:59,231 --> 00:20:00,255
It feels slippery.
308
00:20:00,332 --> 00:20:05,168
It's soapstone. It's part talc, part
chlorite, a little magnetite thrown in.
309
00:20:05,237 --> 00:20:07,672
It's probably hundreds
of millions of years old.
310
00:20:07,740 --> 00:20:10,505
You know all that
just by looking at it?
311
00:20:12,311 --> 00:20:15,509
You can tell a lot about
things just by looking.
312
00:20:17,717 --> 00:20:20,653
How do you happen to
know so much about rocks?
313
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,655
Geology was my major in college. I
spent four years studying the earth
314
00:20:25,725 --> 00:20:29,162
and four years watching
it being blown full of holes.
315
00:20:30,930 --> 00:20:33,399
You're not like any
scientist I've ever met.
316
00:20:33,466 --> 00:20:36,800
We don't all wear beards and
horn-rimmed glasses, you know.
317
00:20:36,869 --> 00:20:39,395
Not in a laboratory
like this anyway.
318
00:20:40,773 --> 00:20:42,742
I haven't been up
here in a long time.
319
00:20:42,808 --> 00:20:46,040
I'd forgotten how beautiful
it is and how peaceful.
320
00:20:46,779 --> 00:20:50,011
It's amazing to think that all
this was under water once,
321
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:52,677
all the way up to the
Mississippi Valley.
322
00:20:52,752 --> 00:20:56,587
My Grandfather used to find
sea fossils right here. Shells, coral.
323
00:20:57,623 --> 00:21:00,889
He loved this mountain.
He's buried up near the top.
324
00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:04,825
I thought I felt
something special here.
325
00:21:10,569 --> 00:21:13,061
Don't go. What did I do?
326
00:21:14,073 --> 00:21:16,770
I better go check
on John Curtis.
327
00:21:16,842 --> 00:21:20,142
I'm starting to feel like I
might want to kiss you.
328
00:21:29,388 --> 00:21:31,983
I think this place is worse
than when we started.
329
00:21:32,057 --> 00:21:35,892
That's because I've been taking
care of all the stuff that doesn't show.
330
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:38,954
The bar sink was
leaking, the wiring is shot.
331
00:21:39,031 --> 00:21:42,490
I spent two days getting
the beer license renewed.
332
00:21:42,568 --> 00:21:44,867
I think you better hire
yourself some help.
333
00:21:44,937 --> 00:21:47,736
I can't afford it. Not
at 75 cents an hour.
334
00:21:48,707 --> 00:21:49,947
Jason, I hate to tell you this,
335
00:21:50,009 --> 00:21:53,309
but at the rate you're going,
you're not gonna open on time.
336
00:21:53,379 --> 00:21:57,908
I'm doing fine, Ike. Thanks
for bringing the paint by.
337
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:00,378
Okay.
338
00:22:01,554 --> 00:22:05,992
By the way, Corabeth
wants to know what's going on
339
00:22:06,058 --> 00:22:08,857
between Mary Ellen and that
young man that's staying at the house.
340
00:22:08,928 --> 00:22:12,296
And you know Corabeth, she can
smell a romance a mile down the road.
341
00:22:12,364 --> 00:22:15,232
- Not this time, Ike.
- Oh.
342
00:22:59,945 --> 00:23:02,608
It's kind of chilly to be
out for a walk, isn't it?
343
00:23:02,681 --> 00:23:03,814
I saw your light.
344
00:23:03,838 --> 00:23:06,516
I was just trying to
read myself to sleep.
345
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,354
We missed you at supper.
346
00:23:09,421 --> 00:23:11,947
I was studying, trying to
make up for this afternoon.
347
00:23:12,024 --> 00:23:14,152
I'm sorry you have
to work so late.
348
00:23:14,226 --> 00:23:18,425
I'm not. It was a wonderful day.
349
00:23:18,497 --> 00:23:20,830
I just wanted to tell you that.
350
00:23:24,103 --> 00:23:26,902
Would you mind if I
kissed you goodnight?
351
00:23:30,142 --> 00:23:32,543
What do you think
I'm doing here?
352
00:23:50,029 --> 00:23:51,793
Whirlwind Jones, they called me
353
00:23:51,864 --> 00:23:55,232
down at the Surfside Cafe
down the Pacific Beach.
354
00:23:55,301 --> 00:23:57,827
We could have 30
customers or more
355
00:23:57,903 --> 00:24:00,771
lined up and hungry, and I
would never forget an order.
356
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:02,034
Mmm-hmm.
357
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:03,973
No. I worked my way
through college that way.
358
00:24:04,043 --> 00:24:06,638
Hey, well, take it easy!
Those are my eggs.
359
00:24:06,712 --> 00:24:09,648
- Over easy, just like you wanted.
- Thank you.
360
00:24:09,715 --> 00:24:12,685
This guy is something
else. But unpredictable.
361
00:24:12,751 --> 00:24:16,153
Just yesterday I was going out
to start an order, he finished it.
362
00:24:16,221 --> 00:24:18,190
He worked all night to do it.
363
00:24:18,257 --> 00:24:21,318
But then I want to go deliver
it, I can't find him anywhere.
364
00:24:21,393 --> 00:24:23,885
Well, good Lord, don't let
him get away after breakfast.
365
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:26,398
He promised to
reshingle the roof for me.
366
00:24:28,867 --> 00:24:30,733
- Good morning, Jason.
- Morning!
367
00:24:30,803 --> 00:24:33,534
- Jonesy's taking the breakfast orders.
- And the show is
368
00:24:33,605 --> 00:24:37,303
- almost as good as the food.
- Nothing for me, thanks.
369
00:24:37,376 --> 00:24:39,845
- I've got to get to work.
- Jason, you have got to
370
00:24:39,912 --> 00:24:44,350
get a meal into you. You're beginning
to look like death warmed over.
371
00:24:44,416 --> 00:24:48,717
Don't count on me for supper, either.
I've got a lot of last-minute things to do.
372
00:24:48,821 --> 00:24:53,418
- Can I give you an hand?
- No, thanks. I'm doing fine on my own.
373
00:24:57,496 --> 00:24:59,795
I wish we hadn't
been so mean to him.
374
00:24:59,865 --> 00:25:01,834
- Morning, everybody.
- Morning.
375
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:05,064
Mary Ellen, I thought you'd
be long gone to school by now.
376
00:25:05,137 --> 00:25:09,575
- What have you done with my son?
- He's with Cindy and Virginia.
377
00:25:09,641 --> 00:25:11,872
- Good morning.
- Good morning. We missed you.
378
00:25:11,944 --> 00:25:13,742
Well, I thought I'd sleep in.
379
00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:17,442
Meals are served on time
around here, you know.
380
00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:20,350
What do you think this
is, the Marine Corps?
381
00:25:22,054 --> 00:25:25,354
Jonesy! It's running! Come see!
382
00:25:25,424 --> 00:25:26,976
My car? You're
kidding! I've got to see it.
383
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
I don't believe it.
384
00:25:29,094 --> 00:25:31,859
- I've got to see this.
- You did that?
385
00:25:31,930 --> 00:25:33,922
I want a ride in that thing.
386
00:25:50,249 --> 00:25:52,275
It sounds better than
it ever did, Jim-Bob!
387
00:25:52,351 --> 00:25:55,788
- It's purring like a kitten.
- I don't know what I owe you,
388
00:25:55,854 --> 00:25:58,187
- but it isn't enough!
- I'm not saying it was tough,
389
00:25:58,257 --> 00:26:01,091
but I'll be glad to get
back to airplane engines.
390
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,790
Thanks, Jim-Bob.
Open road, here I come.
391
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,362
Mary Ellen! Mary Ellen, wait!
392
00:26:12,871 --> 00:26:14,237
Mary Ellen!
393
00:26:20,212 --> 00:26:22,272
Mary Ellen, let me in.
394
00:26:23,816 --> 00:26:25,409
I want to talk to you.
395
00:26:38,163 --> 00:26:39,961
Hey, Jonesy, where you going?
396
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,198
What's he doing?
397
00:26:43,268 --> 00:26:45,032
Where are you going?
398
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:52,942
- Go away.
- Open up.
399
00:26:53,011 --> 00:26:56,812
- No!
- Mary Ellen, please. Let me in.
400
00:26:58,283 --> 00:27:00,548
If you leave now, you can
be in Washington by dark.
401
00:27:00,619 --> 00:27:03,783
- Come with me.
- You're crazy.
402
00:27:07,226 --> 00:27:09,218
What are you're doing?
403
00:27:11,096 --> 00:27:13,793
If you don't let me in
there, I'll be out here all day.
404
00:27:23,842 --> 00:27:27,574
You don't owe me anything. Just hit the
road, so I can start living my life again.
405
00:27:30,182 --> 00:27:36,179
Look, I thought about this all night.
I don't want to leave without you.
406
00:27:36,455 --> 00:27:38,447
- It's impossible.
- Nothing's impossible.
407
00:27:38,524 --> 00:27:40,015
I have a son, remember?
408
00:27:40,092 --> 00:27:42,357
So, the three of us will
have a wonderful time.
409
00:27:42,427 --> 00:27:45,727
- What about pre-med?
- What about life, Mary Ellen?
410
00:27:45,797 --> 00:27:49,666
There's so much to see out
there, and we can see it together.
411
00:27:49,735 --> 00:27:51,363
- Say yes.
- No.
412
00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:52,460
Yes.
413
00:27:53,639 --> 00:27:55,870
Mary Ellen, are you all right?
414
00:27:55,941 --> 00:28:00,811
- Marry me... now.
- I can't.
415
00:28:00,879 --> 00:28:03,110
- Mary Ellen?
- No!
416
00:28:03,182 --> 00:28:04,514
Yes.
417
00:28:13,692 --> 00:28:16,161
- Yes.
- Yes?
418
00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:18,026
- Yes.
- Yes.
419
00:28:19,965 --> 00:28:22,935
I don't believe it!
420
00:28:27,639 --> 00:28:32,873
- She said yes. She's going to marry me.
- Congratulations!
421
00:28:32,945 --> 00:28:35,039
- Congratulations!
- I can't believe this.
422
00:28:45,824 --> 00:28:48,191
I don't know, Jason, if you
go through anymore turpentine,
423
00:28:48,260 --> 00:28:50,338
there's not going to be
any left in the whole county.
424
00:28:50,362 --> 00:28:51,830
It's for cleaning up, Ike.
425
00:28:51,897 --> 00:28:55,129
I've been getting more paint on
the floors than I have anywhere else.
426
00:28:55,767 --> 00:28:59,329
Well, I'll tell you what, I'm sure
looking forward to that grand opening.
427
00:28:59,404 --> 00:29:03,307
- Me, too. Thanks, Ike.
- You're most welcome.
428
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:06,742
Here you go.
429
00:29:06,812 --> 00:29:09,611
- Well, Miss, what can I do for you?
- Excuse me.
430
00:29:11,316 --> 00:29:14,582
I just got off the bus.
I need some advice.
431
00:29:14,653 --> 00:29:18,112
Advice? You don't want to talk to
me. That's my wife's department.
432
00:29:21,493 --> 00:29:23,325
How may I help you?
433
00:29:23,395 --> 00:29:25,887
I need a place to stay. I
was wondering if there was
434
00:29:25,964 --> 00:29:27,830
a hotel or a motor court nearby?
435
00:29:27,899 --> 00:29:32,860
Oh, mercy, no. There isn't a hotel
around for miles. But Zuleika Dunbar
436
00:29:32,938 --> 00:29:35,203
has a rooming house just a
short distance up the road.
437
00:29:35,274 --> 00:29:37,436
It's on the right.
You can't miss it.
438
00:29:37,509 --> 00:29:40,206
Thank you very much.
I'm much obliged.
439
00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:44,444
Are you intending on staying
in our little hamlet for long?
440
00:29:45,083 --> 00:29:49,020
Just a day or so. I'm
looking for Mary Ellen Willard.
441
00:29:49,087 --> 00:29:51,613
Well, I guess you won't
be wearing this again.
442
00:29:51,690 --> 00:29:54,683
If I have any doubts
at all, it's about that.
443
00:29:55,827 --> 00:29:59,628
But Jonesy says I have the rest of my life
to go back to school, and I will someday.
444
00:29:59,698 --> 00:30:02,827
Mary Ellen, Mama and
Daddy always taught us
445
00:30:02,901 --> 00:30:06,702
not to put things off. I just
don't think they'd approve.
446
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,909
We're going to stop and see
them on our way to Mexico.
447
00:30:11,977 --> 00:30:14,055
That's where Jonesy says
we're going to spend the winter.
448
00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:16,391
He said he knows a place down
there where you can spear fish
449
00:30:16,415 --> 00:30:20,443
- and camp out right on the beach.
- You'll have to learn Spanish.
450
00:30:20,519 --> 00:30:23,455
John Curtis can
learn how to swim.
451
00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:30,426
I remember the last time
I was packing like this.
452
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:34,364
I was going to Hawaii to be with
Curt, till the war got in the way.
453
00:30:34,433 --> 00:30:36,299
That can't stop you now.
454
00:30:36,368 --> 00:30:39,236
This is all John Curtis
knows of his father,
455
00:30:39,304 --> 00:30:44,106
yet that was almost
his first word, "Daddy."
456
00:30:44,176 --> 00:30:46,873
I don't want him
to forget Curt, ever.
457
00:30:50,015 --> 00:30:52,712
This is going to be one
of the first things I send for.
458
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:56,651
I'll remember where you put it.
459
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:05,297
- Hey, Rose, what's in the punch?
- Apple juice and ginger ale.
460
00:31:06,498 --> 00:31:09,957
Well, that was the best I
could do on short notice.
461
00:31:10,035 --> 00:31:11,979
Well, we ought to have a
toast to the happy couple.
462
00:31:12,003 --> 00:31:14,632
Yeah, here's to the shortest
engagement on record.
463
00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:15,901
Cheers.
464
00:31:15,974 --> 00:31:19,274
And here's to Jonesy, you
better take care of my big sister.
465
00:31:19,344 --> 00:31:21,984
And here's to Mary Ellen, thanks
for getting Jonesy out of my hair!
466
00:31:23,949 --> 00:31:25,611
I'm going to miss
you two so much,
467
00:31:25,684 --> 00:31:28,244
but I think I'm going to
miss John Curtis even more.
468
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,516
Me, too, Cindy.
469
00:31:30,589 --> 00:31:34,924
Shoot. I was hoping I could get
through one day without tears.
470
00:31:34,993 --> 00:31:38,020
So were we all, Rose.
471
00:31:38,096 --> 00:31:42,329
Why don't we roll back this rug? I'd
like to have a dance with my sister.
472
00:31:42,401 --> 00:31:44,812
You know, it's too bad the Dew
Drop doesn't open until tomorrow night.
473
00:31:44,836 --> 00:31:46,532
We could move the
whole party over there.
474
00:31:46,605 --> 00:31:49,336
Why don't we do it anyway? You
know, kind of like a sneak preview.
475
00:31:49,408 --> 00:31:52,469
It's a good idea. I'd like
Jason to know I'm on his side.
476
00:31:52,544 --> 00:31:55,639
Jason should be here
to celebrate anyways.
477
00:31:55,714 --> 00:31:58,809
I'll just babysit. I've got a
nice, new movie magazine.
478
00:31:58,884 --> 00:32:01,217
You all go on ahead.
I want to change first.
479
00:32:01,286 --> 00:32:03,698
Me, too. This is the last engagement
party I'm ever going to have,
480
00:32:03,722 --> 00:32:05,850
and I'm going to
make the most of it.
481
00:32:09,194 --> 00:32:11,254
- Hey, Jason!
- Turn them on.
482
00:32:11,329 --> 00:32:12,456
Where did he go?
483
00:32:12,531 --> 00:32:16,298
- Jason?
- Welcome to the Dew Drop disaster.
484
00:32:17,602 --> 00:32:20,333
The Titanic was
nothing compared to this.
485
00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:25,434
You were absolutely right, Ben.
Piano players make lousy businessmen.
486
00:32:25,510 --> 00:32:29,447
- I never said that.
- Seems like the more I did around here,
487
00:32:29,514 --> 00:32:32,814
- the more there was to do.
- Why didn't you holler for help?
488
00:32:33,685 --> 00:32:37,452
I got the chairs glued, then
the tables started falling apart.
489
00:32:37,522 --> 00:32:40,048
We didn't give him much
moral support, if you remember.
490
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:43,618
Then I got the tables fixed...
491
00:32:45,163 --> 00:32:48,292
Got the tables fixed, then
there was this leak in the roof,
492
00:32:48,366 --> 00:32:52,030
- so I had to refinish the floor.
- Look, Jason.
493
00:32:52,103 --> 00:32:55,005
You ever hear of a place that
closed the night before it opened?
494
00:32:55,073 --> 00:32:57,042
- Jason...
- I should have listened to you.
495
00:32:57,108 --> 00:33:02,547
Well, would you listen to me
now? We can bail you out of this.
496
00:33:02,614 --> 00:33:04,947
But the first thing is,
we have to sober you up.
497
00:33:05,050 --> 00:33:07,542
I'll go see if
there's a coffee pot.
498
00:33:07,619 --> 00:33:09,178
Okay, Elizabeth.
499
00:33:09,254 --> 00:33:12,691
Look, Jim-Bob, you and
Erin start checking the chairs.
500
00:33:12,757 --> 00:33:15,625
See how many chairs
and tables we can use.
501
00:33:16,628 --> 00:33:20,724
I was hoping nobody would find
out, but I'm murder with a paint brush.
502
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:22,267
Great. Why don't
you get started.
503
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:23,811
I'll join you when I get
everything else organized.
504
00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:25,463
Aye, aye, sir.
505
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:32,273
Look, Jason, I won't
have everything perfect.
506
00:33:33,111 --> 00:33:35,671
The important thing
is, you're going to open.
507
00:33:35,747 --> 00:33:39,081
- You think so?
- Even if it takes all night.
508
00:33:43,088 --> 00:33:44,613
And it's going
to take all night.
509
00:33:44,689 --> 00:33:47,887
There's a bottle for Virginia in
the refrigerator if she wakes up.
510
00:33:47,959 --> 00:33:50,622
- Oh, and...
- And be sure John Curtis is covered up.
511
00:33:50,695 --> 00:33:53,130
You both tell me the
same things every time.
512
00:33:59,905 --> 00:34:01,874
- Are you Mary Ellen?
- No, I am.
513
00:34:04,309 --> 00:34:07,143
I'm sorry to bother
you this way.
514
00:34:08,580 --> 00:34:12,574
I have to know if you've
ever seen this man before.
515
00:34:14,686 --> 00:34:19,090
It's my husband Curt. He
was killed at Pearl Harbor.
516
00:34:20,191 --> 00:34:21,591
Where did you get this?
517
00:34:23,028 --> 00:34:25,964
I took it myself
about a month ago.
518
00:34:42,881 --> 00:34:47,285
About a year ago, a man
calling himself Curtis Packer
519
00:34:47,352 --> 00:34:51,687
moved into the little town
where I live, Larksburg in Florida.
520
00:34:51,756 --> 00:34:54,316
I work part time at
the general store there,
521
00:34:54,392 --> 00:34:56,520
and he runs this little
guide service for tourists.
522
00:34:56,595 --> 00:34:59,690
He takes them out
hunting and fishing
523
00:34:59,764 --> 00:35:04,668
and he'd come into the
store for advice, equipment.
524
00:35:04,736 --> 00:35:10,232
He took to coming over and spending
Saturday evenings on my front porch.
525
00:35:11,076 --> 00:35:14,205
You get to feeling awful
close to someone like that.
526
00:35:14,813 --> 00:35:15,974
What's he like?
527
00:35:18,383 --> 00:35:21,478
He's a good man,
he's a gentle man.
528
00:35:23,755 --> 00:35:26,384
Every once in a while, something
dark seems to come over him.
529
00:35:26,458 --> 00:35:30,862
He doesn't talk, he hardly even smiles,
he takes to driving those back roads
530
00:35:30,929 --> 00:35:33,398
like he's hoping
to kill himself.
531
00:35:35,634 --> 00:35:40,197
I worry about him, but I learned not to
say anything. It just makes him worse.
532
00:35:40,271 --> 00:35:43,070
My Curt wasn't like
that. He wasn't moody.
533
00:35:43,808 --> 00:35:47,870
About a month ago, he came in, and
he was drunk, and he had a letter to mail.
534
00:35:47,946 --> 00:35:50,438
He hadn't written
a letter before,
535
00:35:51,349 --> 00:35:54,183
and I couldn't help but
notice where it was going.
536
00:35:55,687 --> 00:35:59,146
Mary Ellen Willard,
Walton's Mountain, Virginia.
537
00:35:59,224 --> 00:36:03,218
- I never got a letter.
- He came back about an hour later.
538
00:36:03,294 --> 00:36:07,857
He'd sobered up, but he was in a real
state, thinking that letter had gone out.
539
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,829
I gave it back to him.
540
00:36:13,071 --> 00:36:14,972
I haven't seen him since.
541
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,136
- Did he leave town?
- He still runs his little place,
542
00:36:19,210 --> 00:36:22,703
and he comes in to the store
for equipment when I'm not there.
543
00:36:24,683 --> 00:36:27,812
Goes off fishing and hunting
for days at a time, all by himself.
544
00:36:30,221 --> 00:36:33,589
But he doesn't come
by to sit anymore.
545
00:36:36,027 --> 00:36:38,929
He is afraid of something,
and I'm afraid for him.
546
00:36:38,997 --> 00:36:41,660
Now, I was just hoping there
was something you could tell me
547
00:36:41,733 --> 00:36:43,634
to make him feel better.
548
00:36:45,503 --> 00:36:48,337
This man is harder than
Curt. The eyes are different.
549
00:36:49,774 --> 00:36:54,075
- He'd be older, Mary Ellen.
- Curt is dead!
550
00:36:54,145 --> 00:36:58,742
He was killed at Pearl Harbor. I have
the medal they gave him posthumously.
551
00:36:58,817 --> 00:37:01,013
This is not my husband.
552
00:37:06,791 --> 00:37:11,092
If I was you, I'd want to
come and see for myself.
553
00:37:12,197 --> 00:37:17,568
I've already lost him once. I can't
go through that a second time.
554
00:37:24,542 --> 00:37:28,411
Do you know why I'm so
certain this man he isn't Curt?
555
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:33,214
Because if he were, he would
be here with me, with our son.
556
00:37:33,284 --> 00:37:38,552
But he's not, and to believe that he
might be is just to believe in fairy tales.
557
00:37:38,623 --> 00:37:42,685
Curt is dead, and there is
no happy ending for that.
558
00:38:02,981 --> 00:38:04,882
It's open.
559
00:38:06,951 --> 00:38:08,214
May I come in?
560
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:24,398
Sorry I didn't make
it to the Dew Drop.
561
00:38:24,469 --> 00:38:28,668
- We were there most of the night.
- Must have been some party.
562
00:38:28,740 --> 00:38:32,472
There's still a lot to do yet, but
at least Jason will open tonight.
563
00:38:32,544 --> 00:38:34,035
I hope you'll be my date.
564
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:39,075
I heard about your visitor.
565
00:38:40,018 --> 00:38:41,543
I've been thinking.
566
00:38:43,588 --> 00:38:45,784
Maybe we'd better
not rush into anything.
567
00:38:45,857 --> 00:38:49,487
I mean, I could keep on in school for now,
and Boatwright has a geology department.
568
00:38:49,561 --> 00:38:52,395
You could teach, or take
some classes on the G.I. Bill.
569
00:38:52,463 --> 00:38:53,808
We could get to know
each other better.
570
00:38:53,832 --> 00:38:55,476
Then we could get married
at the end of the semester,
571
00:38:55,500 --> 00:39:00,131
- if we still feel the same.
- That's four months away.
572
00:39:00,205 --> 00:39:04,540
- Is it such a long time?
- Don't ask me to wait.
573
00:39:04,609 --> 00:39:09,707
I can't right now. There is something
pulling at me to keep going, to keep...
574
00:39:10,515 --> 00:39:12,450
Proving that I'm alive.
575
00:39:12,517 --> 00:39:14,713
You don't have to
prove that to me.
576
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,455
Sometimes when I
wake up in the morning,
577
00:39:21,492 --> 00:39:23,688
I find myself reaching
for my helmet.
578
00:39:25,029 --> 00:39:28,295
And then, I remember there's
nobody waiting to kill me today.
579
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:32,098
There's nobody I have to
kill. I can walk on a beach,
580
00:39:32,170 --> 00:39:37,438
and I don't have to look over my
shoulder. I can drive coast to coast,
581
00:39:37,508 --> 00:39:39,841
and I don't have to worry
about the roads being mined.
582
00:39:39,911 --> 00:39:43,780
The things that I took for
granted the first 25 years of my life,
583
00:39:44,916 --> 00:39:47,852
I'm starting to discover
them all over again.
584
00:39:49,487 --> 00:39:52,685
Don't ask me to
slow down. Not yet.
585
00:39:58,630 --> 00:40:00,895
This is the medal they
gave Curt for bravery.
586
00:40:02,934 --> 00:40:05,460
Everything seems to
remind me of him today.
587
00:40:09,274 --> 00:40:14,338
I can take you so far away from
it that it won't ever hurt you again.
588
00:40:29,394 --> 00:40:31,305
Corabeth, I don't like to
tell you this, but, you know,
589
00:40:31,329 --> 00:40:35,630
that hat looks awful funny on you
when you wear it here in the store.
590
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:38,260
It is a matter of
professionalism, Mr. Godsey.
591
00:40:38,336 --> 00:40:39,861
When one is in business,
592
00:40:39,938 --> 00:40:42,430
one must look businesslike.
593
00:40:44,309 --> 00:40:46,835
Where, may I ask, are you going?
594
00:40:46,911 --> 00:40:50,245
Tonight is the grand
opening of the Dew Drop Inn.
595
00:40:50,315 --> 00:40:52,978
I thought that we
had discussed that.
596
00:40:53,051 --> 00:40:55,520
We did discuss
it, and I'm going.
597
00:40:57,855 --> 00:40:59,187
Very well.
598
00:40:59,257 --> 00:41:03,456
You know what? It sure would
be nice if you went with me.
599
00:41:03,528 --> 00:41:06,965
It's a matter of standards,
Mr. Godsey. Principles, if you will.
600
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:09,627
Okay.
601
00:41:10,535 --> 00:41:12,834
- Goodnight.
- Goodbye.
602
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,976
- Goodbye?
- Mr. Godsey, don't you see?
603
00:41:19,043 --> 00:41:23,037
This is the beginning of the end
for us. It starts out all very simply.
604
00:41:23,114 --> 00:41:27,210
A visit to a friend's establishment,
a night on the town with the boys,
605
00:41:27,285 --> 00:41:28,617
a harmless game of cards.
606
00:41:28,686 --> 00:41:31,815
Oh, no. Now, you know that Jason
would never allow card playing there.
607
00:41:31,889 --> 00:41:33,901
And the next thing you know,
you're hanging out with ruffians
608
00:41:33,925 --> 00:41:36,326
and hoodlums and going to
burlesque houses and bars and
609
00:41:36,394 --> 00:41:38,772
coming home at all hours of the
night with liquor on your breath
610
00:41:38,796 --> 00:41:42,494
and lipstick on your collar, where you
let some female nibble on your neck!
611
00:41:42,567 --> 00:41:44,695
- Oh, Ike, how could you?
- Corabeth, I'm sorry.
612
00:41:44,769 --> 00:41:47,534
I didn't think it
would go that far.
613
00:41:48,072 --> 00:41:51,531
Wait a minute. What
am I doing? I'm doing...
614
00:41:51,609 --> 00:41:55,478
You know what? I think you better go
along with me and save me from myself.
615
00:41:55,546 --> 00:41:56,546
But...
616
00:41:58,750 --> 00:42:01,879
Perhaps I should
consider it an obligation.
617
00:42:01,953 --> 00:42:06,118
Although it does mean
compromising my principles.
618
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:08,618
Well, I'll...
619
00:42:08,693 --> 00:42:13,256
I'll just change into something
a little less businesslike.
620
00:42:13,965 --> 00:42:17,129
And, Ike... I forgive you.
621
00:42:26,144 --> 00:42:29,114
- This one there?
- That's right. You see this is...
622
00:42:32,383 --> 00:42:34,579
What is she doing up
there? It's after 8:00.
623
00:42:34,652 --> 00:42:36,930
Trying to make it look like
she hasn't been crying all day.
624
00:42:36,954 --> 00:42:40,413
I should have carried her away
when I had that ladder up her window.
625
00:42:40,491 --> 00:42:42,084
She'll be all right.
626
00:42:42,794 --> 00:42:45,821
- Where is everybody?
- Well, everybody's gone.
627
00:42:45,897 --> 00:42:48,560
But John Curtis, Jonesy
and I are right here.
628
00:42:48,633 --> 00:42:51,228
Come on, Johnny.
Upsy daisy, there we go.
629
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:54,262
Don't you keep Elizabeth
up too late now, Johnny.
630
00:42:54,338 --> 00:42:56,807
Oh, he won't. I'm still
tired from last night.
631
00:42:56,874 --> 00:42:58,365
Goodnight, sweetie.
632
00:43:00,011 --> 00:43:02,242
Want to help me pick this up?
633
00:43:03,414 --> 00:43:04,814
My dad.
634
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,079
Daddy.
635
00:43:17,695 --> 00:43:19,823
That's what I want
to know, why not?
636
00:43:19,897 --> 00:43:21,763
You have no better
argument than that?
637
00:43:23,167 --> 00:43:25,363
Jim-Bob, what do you think?
638
00:43:25,436 --> 00:43:27,076
- How's everybody doing over here?
- Okay.
639
00:43:28,072 --> 00:43:30,439
Oh, Jason, the
place looks lovely.
640
00:43:30,508 --> 00:43:34,001
I've seen nightclubs in Baltimore that
didn't look any nicer than this. Really.
641
00:43:34,078 --> 00:43:37,446
- Thanks, Rose.
- And your customers are first class.
642
00:43:38,616 --> 00:43:42,075
- The best!
- Look who's here.
643
00:43:42,153 --> 00:43:44,384
- Mary Ellen.
- Hi!
644
00:43:44,489 --> 00:43:46,617
- Thanks for coming.
- How are you?
645
00:43:46,691 --> 00:43:50,685
- Jonesy! Congratulations!
- Oh, no!
646
00:43:51,262 --> 00:43:53,959
- Jim-Bob?
- I'll see what I can do to fix it.
647
00:43:54,031 --> 00:43:56,728
Now, wait a minute,
everybody! Don't go away.
648
00:43:56,801 --> 00:43:58,770
We'll get the
lights on real soon.
649
00:43:58,836 --> 00:44:00,414
In the meantime, why
don't you all just push
650
00:44:00,438 --> 00:44:04,637
your tables back from the center, and
we'll do some dancing by candlelight.
651
00:44:04,709 --> 00:44:08,737
- Rose, come on. I need you.
- Oh, my goodness.
652
00:44:11,115 --> 00:44:14,574
Mr. Godsey, I can
scarcely see a thing.
653
00:44:14,652 --> 00:44:16,797
That's all right, honey. I'll
stick right close to you here.
654
00:44:16,821 --> 00:44:20,622
My goodness, Jason.
Now, what am I to do?
655
00:44:20,691 --> 00:44:23,251
Just put your feet on the
pedals and pump, Rose.
656
00:44:23,327 --> 00:44:24,852
Oh, I vow and declare!
657
00:44:27,098 --> 00:44:28,498
There you go.
658
00:44:39,243 --> 00:44:42,645
It's charming. Simply charming.
659
00:44:43,748 --> 00:44:46,081
- Table for two?
- Yes, please.
660
00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:47,618
This way.
661
00:44:56,928 --> 00:45:00,865
You know, it was I who prevailed
for Jason to buy this place.
662
00:45:00,932 --> 00:45:03,800
Oh, really? Would
you like to order?
663
00:45:03,868 --> 00:45:05,029
Why, yes.
664
00:45:20,184 --> 00:45:22,449
It's getting late.
665
00:45:24,155 --> 00:45:26,784
This is our last
evening together, isn't it?
666
00:45:28,492 --> 00:45:31,690
I spent all day trying to decide
what to do, and John Curtis
667
00:45:31,762 --> 00:45:34,095
made up my mind for me.
668
00:45:34,165 --> 00:45:37,431
I have to go to Florida.
I have to find out.
669
00:45:38,502 --> 00:45:40,437
Suppose Curt's alive.
670
00:45:41,872 --> 00:45:45,934
How is it going to feel knowing he
let you be a widow all these years?
671
00:45:47,378 --> 00:45:48,971
I can't think about that now.
672
00:45:50,248 --> 00:45:52,080
I love you, Mary Ellen.
673
00:45:58,089 --> 00:45:59,089
Easy, easy.
674
00:46:04,829 --> 00:46:06,855
- Goodbye, Erin.
- Bye.
675
00:46:08,299 --> 00:46:11,030
Give me a hug. Hug me goodbye.
676
00:46:14,305 --> 00:46:16,570
Goodbye, Johnny. Bye.
677
00:46:25,650 --> 00:46:27,175
When do you go?
678
00:46:27,251 --> 00:46:30,744
The bus leaves at 11:00.
Betty's meeting me there.
679
00:46:31,789 --> 00:46:34,088
I'm sorry I couldn't
wait to see you off.
680
00:46:34,158 --> 00:46:36,753
That's all right. I know
you have to get started.
681
00:46:37,228 --> 00:46:40,062
Maybe you and Johnny
could join me later in Mexico.
682
00:46:43,234 --> 00:46:45,601
I thought I was ready
for a whole new life.
683
00:46:45,670 --> 00:46:50,870
I wanted it. I guess I'm just
not finished with the old one yet.
684
00:46:52,877 --> 00:46:55,005
- Maybe I never will be.
- Come here.
685
00:47:10,761 --> 00:47:12,992
- Goodbye.
- Bye.
686
00:47:27,011 --> 00:47:28,689
Mary Ellen thought
that saying goodbye
687
00:47:28,713 --> 00:47:31,842
to Jonesy was the hardest
thing she had ever done.
688
00:47:31,916 --> 00:47:35,444
But what lay ahead of her
was to be even more difficult.
689
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:40,014
The war was officially over, but
she had a private battle still to face.
690
00:47:43,094 --> 00:47:45,222
- Jason?
- Sorry, Jim-Bob,
691
00:47:45,296 --> 00:47:47,607
- I tripped over the wastebasket.
- You just getting home?
692
00:47:47,631 --> 00:47:50,260
It was hard closing up.
Corabeth didn't want me to leave.
693
00:47:50,334 --> 00:47:52,565
She kept asking me to
play her favorite piano roll.
694
00:47:52,636 --> 00:47:54,901
- Yeah? What's that?
- Moonlight Sonata.
695
00:47:54,972 --> 00:47:57,601
- Goodnight, Jason.
- Goodnight, Jim-Bob.
