1
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,115
when I was growing
Up on walton's mountain
2
00:01:20,139 --> 00:01:22,521
in those years of
The great depression,
3
00:01:22,545 --> 00:01:24,959
for me and my
Brothers and sisters
4
00:01:24,984 --> 00:01:30,039
it was a time of making do
With the little there was.
5
00:01:30,063 --> 00:01:33,780
a time of stretching a nickel
Till it bought a dime's worth.
6
00:01:33,804 --> 00:01:36,186
often, a time of doing without.
7
00:01:36,210 --> 00:01:37,456
Bye!
8
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,561
in such times, keeping
Children in school
9
00:01:39,585 --> 00:01:42,702
was just too much of a
Strain for many families
10
00:01:42,726 --> 00:01:45,241
but for my father,
Educating his children
11
00:01:45,265 --> 00:01:46,944
had almost the same importance
12
00:01:46,968 --> 00:01:49,385
as feeding and clothing us.
13
00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:50,686
I remember one day
14
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:52,791
when the regular
Routine of our school life
15
00:01:52,815 --> 00:01:54,228
was threatened.
16
00:01:57,192 --> 00:01:58,705
John-boy,
17
00:01:58,729 --> 00:02:01,846
Uh, I've just had
S-some news from home
18
00:02:01,870 --> 00:02:03,716
And my sister in norfolk,
19
00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:06,190
There's been an accident.
20
00:02:06,214 --> 00:02:07,427
I'm sorry.
21
00:02:07,451 --> 00:02:08,828
Um, I've got to
Try to get in touch
22
00:02:08,852 --> 00:02:10,633
With my brother-in-law
By telephone
23
00:02:10,657 --> 00:02:11,735
And I'd appreciate it
24
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:13,874
If you'd take charge
Of the classroom.
25
00:02:13,898 --> 00:02:14,944
Well, I'll try to.
26
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:17,450
Just try to keep
The students quiet.
27
00:02:17,474 --> 00:02:19,988
You can let them
Do their homework,
28
00:02:20,012 --> 00:02:22,327
Or you can read to them.
29
00:02:22,351 --> 00:02:26,168
uh, here's a copy of tom sawyer.
30
00:02:26,193 --> 00:02:27,539
Ok.
31
00:02:27,563 --> 00:02:30,701
I just had a long letter
From her only yesterday.
32
00:02:32,107 --> 00:02:34,344
Thank you. Thank you, john-boy.
33
00:02:47,576 --> 00:02:49,223
John-boy, what are
You doing up there?
34
00:02:49,247 --> 00:02:50,726
It was miss hunter's idea.
35
00:02:50,750 --> 00:02:53,031
You don't think I'd be up
Here if it was up to me, do you?
36
00:02:53,056 --> 00:02:54,435
You're gonna teach the class?
37
00:02:54,459 --> 00:02:57,107
Come on, jason, please...
38
00:02:57,131 --> 00:02:58,545
Why don't we just have recess
39
00:02:58,569 --> 00:03:00,081
Until miss hunter gets back?
40
00:03:00,105 --> 00:03:01,450
Didn't you hear john-boy?
41
00:03:01,474 --> 00:03:02,787
Recess is over!
42
00:03:02,811 --> 00:03:04,625
Thank you, ben.
Sit down. Come on.
43
00:03:04,649 --> 00:03:07,064
Thank you, ben.
44
00:03:07,088 --> 00:03:09,052
Come on, sit down.
45
00:03:11,131 --> 00:03:13,213
May be we just ought
To do our homework.
46
00:03:15,776 --> 00:03:17,188
Quiet!
47
00:03:17,212 --> 00:03:19,761
Let's just... Let's
Just do homework.
48
00:03:19,785 --> 00:03:21,765
Aw!
49
00:03:21,789 --> 00:03:24,404
Come on, now. I
Don't like this, either.
50
00:03:24,428 --> 00:03:27,545
John-boy, where
Did miss hunter go?
51
00:03:27,569 --> 00:03:29,816
Well, there was an
Emergency in her family.
52
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,955
Look, from now on if you
Want to ask a question,
53
00:03:31,979 --> 00:03:33,993
Why don't you just raise
Your hand, all right?
54
00:03:34,017 --> 00:03:38,069
But john-boy, I'm your
Sister. I know that.
55
00:03:38,093 --> 00:03:40,441
I'm... I'm just trying to
Be the teacher, that's all.
56
00:03:42,772 --> 00:03:44,619
Come on.
57
00:03:44,643 --> 00:03:46,390
Lucilla, where are you going?
58
00:03:46,414 --> 00:03:48,193
To sharpen my pencil.
59
00:03:48,217 --> 00:03:49,563
All right.
60
00:03:49,587 --> 00:03:51,824
Hey, come on. That's not fair.
61
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:57,882
Look, just sit down,
I'll read to you.
62
00:04:03,152 --> 00:04:04,987
tom sawyer, all right?
63
00:04:06,460 --> 00:04:08,139
Sit down.
64
00:04:08,163 --> 00:04:11,279
Uh, chapter 29.
65
00:04:11,303 --> 00:04:13,619
"The picnic.
66
00:04:13,643 --> 00:04:15,691
"Huck on injun joe's track,
67
00:04:15,715 --> 00:04:19,901
"The revenge job,
"Aid for the widow.
68
00:04:19,925 --> 00:04:22,240
"The first thing that tom
Heard on friday morning
69
00:04:22,264 --> 00:04:24,076
"Was a glad piece of news.
70
00:04:24,101 --> 00:04:26,014
"Judge thatcher's family
71
00:04:26,038 --> 00:04:29,021
"Had come back to
Town the night before.
72
00:04:29,045 --> 00:04:30,825
"Both injun joe and the treasure
73
00:04:30,849 --> 00:04:33,699
Sank into secondary
Importance for a moment..."
74
00:04:33,723 --> 00:04:35,035
I sure wish
75
00:04:35,059 --> 00:04:37,107
I could've seen you teach
The school, john-boy.
76
00:04:37,131 --> 00:04:39,279
He was just the same
As at home: bossy.
77
00:04:39,303 --> 00:04:41,918
It was like being big
Brother to 20, instead of 6.
78
00:04:41,942 --> 00:04:43,922
I don't know how
Miss hunter does it.
79
00:04:43,946 --> 00:04:45,928
It's her training
And experience.
80
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:47,197
She's had plenty of both,
81
00:04:47,221 --> 00:04:49,437
And that is why she is so good.
82
00:04:49,461 --> 00:04:51,942
Old man, you know
Everything about everything.
83
00:04:51,966 --> 00:04:53,110
That's why I am so good
84
00:04:53,134 --> 00:04:54,681
After spending 50-odd years
85
00:04:54,705 --> 00:04:56,184
Of married life with you.
86
00:04:56,209 --> 00:04:57,354
Not 50 yet.
87
00:04:57,378 --> 00:04:58,457
Uh, seems more like it.
88
00:04:58,481 --> 00:05:00,210
Oh, hush.
89
00:05:00,234 --> 00:05:02,433
What did you teach
Them, john-boy?
90
00:05:02,457 --> 00:05:04,002
I didn't try to
Teach them anything.
91
00:05:04,027 --> 00:05:05,873
Miss hunter just told
Me to keep them quiet.
92
00:05:05,897 --> 00:05:07,209
I read to them.
93
00:05:07,233 --> 00:05:08,613
tom sawyer.
94
00:05:08,636 --> 00:05:10,517
He stopped at the
Most exciting part,
95
00:05:10,541 --> 00:05:13,091
Where tom and becky
Are lost in the cave.
96
00:05:13,114 --> 00:05:15,696
Well, I guess, you'll
Just have to learn to read
97
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,734
In order to find out
What happens next.
98
00:05:19,329 --> 00:05:20,541
Will miss hunter be back?
99
00:05:20,565 --> 00:05:21,677
I don't know.
100
00:05:21,701 --> 00:05:23,648
Elizabeth, what are you doin'?
101
00:05:23,672 --> 00:05:26,088
John-boy said whenever I
Want to ask him a question,
102
00:05:26,112 --> 00:05:27,675
I have to raise my hand.
103
00:05:27,699 --> 00:05:29,094
Well, school's out.
104
00:05:29,118 --> 00:05:31,399
What is it you want?
105
00:05:31,423 --> 00:05:33,694
May I please go to the bathroom?
106
00:05:34,865 --> 00:05:37,068
Yes, you may.
107
00:05:40,477 --> 00:05:42,191
Way I understand
It, miss hunter's
108
00:05:42,215 --> 00:05:44,898
Sister had a bad car
Accident in norfolk.
109
00:05:44,922 --> 00:05:46,468
She's gonna pull
Through all right,
110
00:05:46,492 --> 00:05:48,740
But she's gonna need
Nursing for a spell.
111
00:05:48,764 --> 00:05:50,778
Yeah, machines will
Be the death of us all.
112
00:05:50,802 --> 00:05:52,382
Oh, people had accidents
113
00:05:52,406 --> 00:05:54,186
Long before they had motorcars.
114
00:05:54,210 --> 00:05:55,890
Old man, will there
Ever come a time
115
00:05:55,915 --> 00:05:57,427
When I say somethin'
116
00:05:57,451 --> 00:05:58,964
And you don't contradict me?
117
00:05:58,988 --> 00:06:00,568
Don't abandon hope.
118
00:06:00,592 --> 00:06:02,070
Stop it.
119
00:06:02,095 --> 00:06:03,975
Miss hunter feels she
Has to go to norfolk
120
00:06:03,999 --> 00:06:05,812
To take care of her sister?
121
00:06:05,837 --> 00:06:09,087
It's not just miss
Hunter's sister, it's, uh...
122
00:06:09,111 --> 00:06:10,858
She's got 4 nieces and nephews,
123
00:06:10,882 --> 00:06:11,994
And the oldest is 9.
124
00:06:12,018 --> 00:06:13,932
Miss hunter is the
Closest kin they have.
125
00:06:13,956 --> 00:06:15,903
Who's gonna take
Care of her class?
126
00:06:15,927 --> 00:06:18,107
John-boy, looks like
You got a full-time job.
127
00:06:18,131 --> 00:06:20,515
Oh, I just filled
In this afternoon.
128
00:06:20,539 --> 00:06:23,321
I'm going to a special
School board meeting tonight.
129
00:06:23,344 --> 00:06:24,490
It won't be easy
130
00:06:24,514 --> 00:06:26,529
To find a substitute
Teacher midterm.
131
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:28,032
We can't pay much.
132
00:06:28,056 --> 00:06:30,471
We'll have to keep miss
Hunter on salary if we can.
133
00:06:30,495 --> 00:06:31,840
Or we could go on vacation
134
00:06:31,864 --> 00:06:34,580
Till miss hunter gets
Back if we have to.
135
00:06:34,604 --> 00:06:35,815
Ben, I think we can come up
136
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,042
With a better answer than that.
137
00:06:40,851 --> 00:06:42,119
John-boy,
138
00:06:43,224 --> 00:06:44,535
You ought to be asleep.
139
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,928
I'm scared.
140
00:06:47,433 --> 00:06:48,479
Scared?
141
00:06:48,503 --> 00:06:49,915
You got nothing to be scared of.
142
00:06:49,939 --> 00:06:52,756
I'm scared for tom
Sawyer and becky thatcher.
143
00:06:52,780 --> 00:06:55,929
I keep thinking of
Them lost in that cave.
144
00:06:55,954 --> 00:06:57,588
Do they get out?
145
00:06:58,926 --> 00:07:00,306
Oh, I shouldn't tell you this,
146
00:07:00,330 --> 00:07:02,300
But yes, they do get out.
147
00:07:03,905 --> 00:07:05,485
I won't tell anyone else.
148
00:07:05,509 --> 00:07:06,591
Ok.
149
00:07:07,581 --> 00:07:08,759
Good night, honey.
150
00:07:08,783 --> 00:07:10,151
Good night.
151
00:07:20,410 --> 00:07:22,624
Livie, I didn't
Expect you to be up.
152
00:07:22,648 --> 00:07:24,430
That must've been some meetin'.
153
00:07:24,454 --> 00:07:26,367
Sure was.
154
00:07:26,391 --> 00:07:28,772
At one point, we
Were ready to give up.
155
00:07:28,796 --> 00:07:30,142
Take ben's suggestion
156
00:07:30,166 --> 00:07:31,646
And give the kids a vacation.
157
00:07:31,670 --> 00:07:33,518
No substitute
Teachers around here?
158
00:07:33,542 --> 00:07:34,953
Not one in the county.
159
00:07:34,977 --> 00:07:36,558
Not for the money we can pay.
160
00:07:36,582 --> 00:07:39,062
Well, what are we gonna do?
161
00:07:39,086 --> 00:07:41,101
We were just about to give up,
162
00:07:41,125 --> 00:07:42,804
Then mrs. Richardson
163
00:07:42,828 --> 00:07:44,776
Thought of this
Woman she heard about
164
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,680
In new york from
The school board.
165
00:07:46,704 --> 00:07:49,220
The daughter of some
Famous professor.
166
00:07:49,244 --> 00:07:50,289
We took a chance,
167
00:07:50,313 --> 00:07:51,525
Made a long distance call.
168
00:07:51,549 --> 00:07:53,697
Mrs. Richardson explained
The situation to her,
169
00:07:53,721 --> 00:07:55,602
And we got ourselves
A substitute teacher.
170
00:07:55,626 --> 00:07:56,871
From new york city?
171
00:07:56,895 --> 00:07:58,141
A miss pollard.
172
00:07:58,165 --> 00:07:59,945
Comin' in on the bus
Day after tomorrow.
173
00:07:59,969 --> 00:08:01,181
Miss pollard.
174
00:08:01,205 --> 00:08:03,420
Uh-huh, megan
Pollard. Pretty name.
175
00:08:03,444 --> 00:08:04,657
Smart as a whip.
176
00:08:04,681 --> 00:08:06,860
Mrs. Richardson says she
Graduated from college
177
00:08:06,884 --> 00:08:08,398
With all kinds of honors.
178
00:08:08,422 --> 00:08:10,503
So how come she's not teachin'?
179
00:08:10,527 --> 00:08:12,775
She's been doin' some
Kind of research work.
180
00:08:12,799 --> 00:08:14,345
She's young, inexperienced,
181
00:08:14,369 --> 00:08:16,951
But I'm sure she'll fill
In well for miss hunter.
182
00:08:16,975 --> 00:08:20,125
I'm glad you were
Able to work it out.
183
00:08:20,149 --> 00:08:22,931
And there is one more thing.
184
00:08:22,955 --> 00:08:24,569
Since we can pay so little,
185
00:08:24,593 --> 00:08:26,941
We decided we ought to
Offer a free room and board.
186
00:08:26,965 --> 00:08:28,512
John.
187
00:08:28,537 --> 00:08:31,552
Now, livie, we got more kids
In school than anyone else.
188
00:08:31,576 --> 00:08:33,490
Seemed only fair.
189
00:08:33,514 --> 00:08:35,060
John-boy wouldn't mind
190
00:08:35,084 --> 00:08:37,567
Sleepin' out in the
Barn temporarily.
191
00:08:37,591 --> 00:08:39,738
That's what I was gonna say.
192
00:08:44,673 --> 00:08:47,055
Ah, ben, what's
Goin' on in here?
193
00:08:47,079 --> 00:08:48,925
I'm goin' to build
A kite, grandpa.
194
00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:50,028
A kite. Mmm.
195
00:08:50,052 --> 00:08:51,932
There's going to be
A kite-flying contest.
196
00:08:51,956 --> 00:08:53,135
I want to win.
197
00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:55,240
Now, that is an
Ambitious project.
198
00:08:55,264 --> 00:08:57,278
You know anythin'
About buildin' a kite?
199
00:08:57,302 --> 00:08:59,585
Well, I've got sort of an idea.
200
00:08:59,609 --> 00:09:00,787
Uh-huh.
201
00:09:00,811 --> 00:09:03,560
Well, now. That's great.
202
00:09:03,584 --> 00:09:04,897
You know, I used to build kites
203
00:09:04,921 --> 00:09:07,569
That would put benjamin
Franklin to shame.
204
00:09:07,593 --> 00:09:09,507
Once, when I was no
More than your age,
205
00:09:09,531 --> 00:09:11,478
I built me a kite
That was so strong,
206
00:09:11,502 --> 00:09:13,984
It broke its string and
Just went wingin' away.
207
00:09:14,008 --> 00:09:15,487
That's too bad, grandpa.
208
00:09:15,511 --> 00:09:16,991
They found her a
Week or so later,
209
00:09:17,015 --> 00:09:18,762
Clean over in the
Shenandoah valley.
210
00:09:18,786 --> 00:09:20,064
This contest is for the kids
211
00:09:20,088 --> 00:09:22,069
In our sunday school class.
212
00:09:22,093 --> 00:09:23,573
Tell you what, ben.
213
00:09:23,597 --> 00:09:25,878
I will help build you a kite
214
00:09:25,902 --> 00:09:27,247
That will be the finest kite
215
00:09:27,272 --> 00:09:29,319
That man has ever made.
216
00:09:29,344 --> 00:09:30,422
How about it, huh?
217
00:09:30,446 --> 00:09:31,492
Mmm?
218
00:09:31,516 --> 00:09:33,463
What do you say?
219
00:09:33,487 --> 00:09:34,732
Ok, grandpa.
220
00:09:34,756 --> 00:09:36,771
All right, ben, now
Let's get to work.
221
00:09:36,795 --> 00:09:38,730
Uh, uh, where's your paper?
222
00:09:42,207 --> 00:09:43,675
Hey, grandma.
223
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,160
There's some mail come for you.
224
00:09:47,184 --> 00:09:48,631
Big or small?
225
00:09:48,655 --> 00:09:49,756
Big.
226
00:09:51,061 --> 00:09:52,583
Where? Right there.
227
00:10:09,638 --> 00:10:10,816
"We regret to inform you
228
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,687
"That the material
You so kindly submitted
229
00:10:12,711 --> 00:10:14,024
"For our consideration
230
00:10:14,048 --> 00:10:15,694
Fails to meet our
Needs at this time."
231
00:10:15,718 --> 00:10:17,465
That's the best story
I've ever written.
232
00:10:17,489 --> 00:10:18,969
Now tell me what's
Wrong with it?
233
00:10:18,993 --> 00:10:20,773
Well, they didn't say
Anything was wrong.
234
00:10:20,797 --> 00:10:22,578
They just said it
Wasn't what they need.
235
00:10:22,602 --> 00:10:24,782
Grandma, they never tell
You what's wrong with it.
236
00:10:24,806 --> 00:10:27,589
Look, silk is beautiful.
237
00:10:27,613 --> 00:10:29,158
But nobody could sell me silk
238
00:10:29,182 --> 00:10:31,097
If I was shopping for gingham.
239
00:10:31,121 --> 00:10:32,733
Grandma, this is
A rejection slip.
240
00:10:32,757 --> 00:10:34,672
You know how many
Of these things I've got?
241
00:10:34,696 --> 00:10:36,275
I could paper the
Walls with them.
242
00:10:36,299 --> 00:10:37,713
Good.
243
00:10:37,737 --> 00:10:40,808
It'll... It'll help against
The cold when winter comes.
244
00:10:45,387 --> 00:10:48,504
John-boy, your father had to
Help out at the younger place
245
00:10:48,528 --> 00:10:50,108
So he wants you to
Go to the bus stop
246
00:10:50,132 --> 00:10:51,678
And pick up miss pollard.
247
00:10:51,702 --> 00:10:53,248
John boy, it's getting late.
248
00:10:53,272 --> 00:10:56,155
Yes, ma'am. Pick up miss
Pollard at the bus stop.
249
00:10:56,179 --> 00:10:58,059
I guess I'll know
Her when I see her.
250
00:10:58,083 --> 00:10:59,864
She's probably
The only passenger
251
00:10:59,888 --> 00:11:01,902
Gettin' off the bus.
Shouldn't be difficult.
252
00:11:01,926 --> 00:11:04,040
Try to work up a
Smile. I am smiling.
253
00:11:04,064 --> 00:11:05,509
Then you'd better
Tell your face.
254
00:11:05,533 --> 00:11:07,314
First thing she
Sees that glum look,
255
00:11:07,339 --> 00:11:09,921
She'll get right back on
That bus and head north.
256
00:11:09,945 --> 00:11:11,224
What's the matter with him?
257
00:11:11,248 --> 00:11:13,027
Got rejected again.
258
00:11:13,052 --> 00:11:14,787
Oh, big envelope.
259
00:11:37,575 --> 00:11:40,358
Excuse me, by any chance,
Would you be miss pollard?
260
00:11:40,382 --> 00:11:41,996
Not only would be, I am.
261
00:11:42,020 --> 00:11:44,189
But not by chance. By design.
262
00:11:53,512 --> 00:11:54,858
I'm john-boy walton.
263
00:11:54,882 --> 00:11:56,195
I'm sorry I'm late,
264
00:11:56,219 --> 00:11:57,932
I guess our clock
At home must be slow.
265
00:11:57,956 --> 00:11:59,635
The bus was early.
266
00:11:59,659 --> 00:12:02,575
Oh, well, I'll just put your
Things in the back of the truck.
267
00:12:02,599 --> 00:12:03,644
That's heavy.
268
00:12:03,669 --> 00:12:05,371
That's my library.
269
00:12:09,316 --> 00:12:10,718
I'll get it.
270
00:12:17,568 --> 00:12:18,680
I'm sorry.
271
00:12:18,704 --> 00:12:20,384
I believe you.
Don't keep saying it.
272
00:12:20,408 --> 00:12:23,091
No, you're sittin'
On... Ah, excuse me.
273
00:12:23,115 --> 00:12:25,095
Do I see a rejection slip?
274
00:12:25,119 --> 00:12:26,365
Yeah, it's a hobby of mine.
275
00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:27,969
I collect 'em.
276
00:12:27,993 --> 00:12:30,241
You know why this was rejected?
277
00:12:30,265 --> 00:12:32,812
Well, the slip says that I
Didn't have what they wanted.
278
00:12:32,836 --> 00:12:34,483
That's editorial jabberwocky.
279
00:12:34,507 --> 00:12:36,255
What do you think?
280
00:12:36,279 --> 00:12:39,561
To tell you the truth, I don't
Know. I like it. I think it's good.
281
00:12:39,585 --> 00:12:41,266
Well, if you like, I'll read it
282
00:12:41,290 --> 00:12:44,072
And try and tell
You why it missed.
283
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:46,245
Have you ever done
Editorial work?
284
00:12:46,269 --> 00:12:47,580
Yes, every since college,
285
00:12:47,604 --> 00:12:49,552
I've been devoting my
Time to editorial work.
286
00:12:49,576 --> 00:12:50,721
Really?
287
00:12:50,745 --> 00:12:53,060
You mean short stories
And novels and such?
288
00:12:53,084 --> 00:12:56,167
No. My father was an
Educator of some renown.
289
00:12:56,191 --> 00:12:59,909
We were preparin' a collection
Of his works when he...
290
00:12:59,933 --> 00:13:01,413
When he died.
291
00:13:01,437 --> 00:13:02,615
I'm sorry.
292
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:03,985
Do you think maybe we could...
293
00:13:04,010 --> 00:13:05,772
Shouldn't we be getting on?
294
00:13:07,083 --> 00:13:08,763
Certainly. Of course.
295
00:13:28,199 --> 00:13:30,981
I certainly appreciate this
Opportunity, mr. Walton.
296
00:13:31,006 --> 00:13:33,453
Oh, we feel real
Lucky havin' you.
297
00:13:33,478 --> 00:13:36,093
I was looking for a teaching
Position that'd be a challenge.
298
00:13:36,117 --> 00:13:37,430
You got one.
299
00:13:38,723 --> 00:13:41,094
Come on, I'll show
You to your room.
300
00:13:42,866 --> 00:13:44,446
I already took your luggage up.
301
00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:45,838
Thank you.
302
00:13:50,618 --> 00:13:52,398
She doesn't look like a teacher.
303
00:13:52,422 --> 00:13:54,103
What's a teacher
Supposed to look like?
304
00:13:54,127 --> 00:13:55,473
Miss hunter?
305
00:13:55,497 --> 00:13:57,410
No, I can't make up my mind
306
00:13:57,434 --> 00:13:59,314
Whether she's older
Tryin' to look younger
307
00:13:59,338 --> 00:14:01,085
Young tryin' to look older.
308
00:14:01,110 --> 00:14:02,154
She's young.
309
00:14:02,178 --> 00:14:03,391
That's no crime.
310
00:14:03,415 --> 00:14:04,794
She's already got her master's.
311
00:14:04,818 --> 00:14:05,929
Whatever that is.
312
00:14:05,953 --> 00:14:07,300
She seems stuck-up to me.
313
00:14:07,324 --> 00:14:08,402
I think she's shy.
314
00:14:08,426 --> 00:14:09,838
I don't think she even likes us.
315
00:14:09,862 --> 00:14:10,941
Whoa! Whoa, now,
316
00:14:10,965 --> 00:14:12,644
You're jumpin' to
Conclusions so fast,
317
00:14:12,669 --> 00:14:13,814
You'll be out of breath.
318
00:14:13,838 --> 00:14:16,286
She's helpin' us
Out in an emergency.
319
00:14:16,310 --> 00:14:18,259
She's new to us,
We're new to her.
320
00:14:18,283 --> 00:14:19,629
Give it time.
321
00:14:20,721 --> 00:14:22,635
She reminds me of my
First grade teacher.
322
00:14:22,659 --> 00:14:24,773
Everything reminds
You of somethin'.
323
00:14:24,797 --> 00:14:26,378
Hmm, I exercise my
Memory, old woman.
324
00:14:26,402 --> 00:14:27,848
That's what keeps it so healthy.
325
00:14:27,872 --> 00:14:29,217
Your memory and your mouth.
326
00:14:29,241 --> 00:14:31,957
All the better to... Stop it.
327
00:14:35,021 --> 00:14:36,733
I hope you'll be
Comfortable here.
328
00:14:36,758 --> 00:14:38,438
Looks just fine.
329
00:14:38,462 --> 00:14:41,311
It gets a little
Noisy sometimes.
330
00:14:41,335 --> 00:14:42,982
Is that your father?
331
00:14:43,006 --> 00:14:45,443
My late father. He
Was an educator.
332
00:14:47,817 --> 00:14:49,097
And the rest of your family?
333
00:14:49,121 --> 00:14:50,334
I'm alone.
334
00:14:50,358 --> 00:14:52,438
It makes for an
Uncluttered life.
335
00:14:52,462 --> 00:14:54,176
He travels light
Who travels alone.
336
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,967
You know the saying.
337
00:14:59,211 --> 00:15:01,926
We usually sit down
To supper about 6:00.
338
00:15:01,950 --> 00:15:03,564
If it wouldn't be
Too much bother,
339
00:15:03,588 --> 00:15:05,968
I'd prefer to have
Something simple here.
340
00:15:05,992 --> 00:15:08,675
Of course. You must be
Tired after your long bus ride.
341
00:15:08,699 --> 00:15:10,680
I don't want to
Intrude on your family.
342
00:15:10,704 --> 00:15:12,551
You wouldn't be intrudin'.
343
00:15:12,575 --> 00:15:14,478
And I'm a light eater.
344
00:15:16,183 --> 00:15:18,698
I'll have a tray sent up.
345
00:15:18,723 --> 00:15:20,235
Thank you.
346
00:15:20,259 --> 00:15:22,697
And please, make
Yourself at home.
347
00:16:07,904 --> 00:16:08,950
Miss pollard?
348
00:16:08,974 --> 00:16:10,051
Yes.
349
00:16:10,075 --> 00:16:11,321
I'm ethel richardson,
350
00:16:11,345 --> 00:16:12,892
Member of the school board.
351
00:16:12,916 --> 00:16:14,427
Miss hunter asked
Me to stop in here
352
00:16:14,451 --> 00:16:16,299
On your first mornin'
And make you welcome.
353
00:16:16,323 --> 00:16:17,903
Thank you.
354
00:16:17,927 --> 00:16:20,610
She also said to tell you her
Grade books and assignment sheets
355
00:16:20,634 --> 00:16:22,045
Were in the top desk drawer.
356
00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:24,887
Uh, thank you, I found them.
357
00:16:24,911 --> 00:16:28,662
I understand your father
Was a very famous professor.
358
00:16:28,686 --> 00:16:31,300
He was a pioneer in
The field of education.
359
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:33,640
Miss hunter went
On and on about him.
360
00:16:33,664 --> 00:16:36,312
She called him "The
Teacher's teacher."
361
00:16:36,336 --> 00:16:37,549
And here you are
362
00:16:37,573 --> 00:16:40,388
Carryin' on the
Family tradition.
363
00:16:40,412 --> 00:16:42,092
I'm trying.
364
00:16:42,116 --> 00:16:45,166
Oh, I know it isn't easy
Comin' into a strange school
365
00:16:45,190 --> 00:16:48,306
And taking over
For somebody else.
366
00:16:48,330 --> 00:16:52,183
But a little school
Like ours is easygoin',
367
00:16:52,207 --> 00:16:53,507
Friendly.
368
00:16:57,219 --> 00:17:00,636
Well, if there's anythin'
At all I can do to help.
369
00:17:00,660 --> 00:17:01,772
Thank you.
370
00:17:01,796 --> 00:17:04,233
It's very nice
Havin' you with us.
371
00:17:13,456 --> 00:17:15,604
Come on, elizabeth.
We'll be late.
372
00:17:15,628 --> 00:17:17,790
I'm coming.
373
00:17:29,226 --> 00:17:30,707
What do you want
With those weeds?
374
00:17:30,731 --> 00:17:33,379
They're not weeds.
They're wildflowers.
375
00:17:33,403 --> 00:17:36,140
I'm going to give 'em
To our new teacher.
376
00:17:49,207 --> 00:17:51,109
Take your seats, please.
377
00:18:00,299 --> 00:18:02,903
Good morning,
Class. I'm miss pollard.
378
00:18:07,582 --> 00:18:08,750
Class!
379
00:18:15,467 --> 00:18:18,516
I'm to be your teacher
While miss hunter is away.
380
00:18:18,540 --> 00:18:19,953
It isn't easy to change teachers
381
00:18:19,977 --> 00:18:21,323
In the middle of a term
382
00:18:21,347 --> 00:18:22,727
But if we do our jobs every day,
383
00:18:22,751 --> 00:18:24,464
We should manage very well.
384
00:18:25,857 --> 00:18:27,125
Class!
385
00:18:30,033 --> 00:18:31,111
You're late.
386
00:18:31,135 --> 00:18:32,505
I'm sorry.
387
00:18:33,743 --> 00:18:35,557
Tardiness is something
I can't tolerate.
388
00:18:35,581 --> 00:18:37,662
It shows a self-centered
Lack of consideration
389
00:18:37,686 --> 00:18:40,524
For your fellow
Students and your teacher.
390
00:18:41,561 --> 00:18:43,375
Please take your seat.
391
00:18:43,399 --> 00:18:45,413
Well, m-ma'am, the
Reason we're late is...
392
00:18:45,437 --> 00:18:46,982
We can always find excuses.
393
00:18:47,006 --> 00:18:49,188
But they are usually just
A further waste of time.
394
00:18:49,212 --> 00:18:51,091
Sit down, please.
395
00:18:51,115 --> 00:18:54,166
Miss pollard, if maybe you'd let
Elizabeth show you why they're late...
396
00:18:54,190 --> 00:18:55,636
I've dealt with that matter.
397
00:18:55,660 --> 00:18:57,730
Take your seat, elizabeth.
398
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:09,067
Now, when we were interrupted,
399
00:19:09,091 --> 00:19:10,572
I was introducing myself to you.
400
00:19:10,596 --> 00:19:13,010
I think it's very important
If we're to work together
401
00:19:13,033 --> 00:19:15,516
That we get to know each
Other. I hope you agree?
402
00:19:15,540 --> 00:19:17,921
Erin?
403
00:19:17,945 --> 00:19:19,926
Once when a new boy
Came to our school,
404
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:21,262
Miss hunter had each one of us
405
00:19:21,286 --> 00:19:24,186
Introduce the person
Behind us to him.
406
00:19:24,210 --> 00:19:25,555
Well, that's miss hunter's way
407
00:19:25,579 --> 00:19:27,394
And I'm sure it worked
Very well for her.
408
00:19:27,418 --> 00:19:29,164
But I have to know
Each of you in depth,
409
00:19:29,188 --> 00:19:31,370
So I have some special tests.
410
00:19:35,136 --> 00:19:36,448
Class.
411
00:19:36,472 --> 00:19:38,386
Now, time is very
Important in these tests,
412
00:19:38,410 --> 00:19:40,492
So we'll have to get
Started immediately.
413
00:19:40,516 --> 00:19:43,899
Erin and john walton, will you
Pass these out for me, please?
414
00:20:07,579 --> 00:20:09,459
Class, please try
To be a little quiet
415
00:20:09,483 --> 00:20:10,895
And concentrate on the test.
416
00:20:10,919 --> 00:20:12,231
Excuse me, miss pollard,
417
00:20:12,255 --> 00:20:14,603
But this is when we
Have our morning recess.
418
00:20:14,628 --> 00:20:16,575
I know the schedule,
But time is essential
419
00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:18,513
In my evaluation of this test.
420
00:20:18,537 --> 00:20:20,216
There will be other recesses.
421
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,418
In the science section,
422
00:20:21,442 --> 00:20:22,923
I don't understand
What's wanted.
423
00:20:22,947 --> 00:20:23,959
The point of this test
424
00:20:23,983 --> 00:20:25,796
Is to gauge your
Comprehension levels.
425
00:20:25,820 --> 00:20:27,801
So if there's a question
You don't understand,
426
00:20:27,825 --> 00:20:29,371
Just skip and go
On to the next one.
427
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:30,807
Excuse me, maybe
I can help him...
428
00:20:30,831 --> 00:20:32,700
Just do your own work.
429
00:20:38,481 --> 00:20:40,030
I think my hand is swollen.
430
00:20:40,054 --> 00:20:41,600
After all those
Tests, it should be.
431
00:20:41,624 --> 00:20:43,839
She says there'll
Be more tomorrow.
432
00:20:43,863 --> 00:20:47,146
I think true-false and
Multiple-choice tests are so unfair.
433
00:20:47,170 --> 00:20:49,451
Colder than an icicle,
434
00:20:49,475 --> 00:20:50,821
Talks like a dictionary,
435
00:20:50,845 --> 00:20:52,859
Acts like a smile
Would crack her face,
436
00:20:52,883 --> 00:20:54,395
All of these.
437
00:20:54,419 --> 00:20:55,498
All of these. D.
438
00:20:55,522 --> 00:20:57,703
Probably all she knows
How to do is give tests.
439
00:20:57,727 --> 00:20:59,306
I wish miss hunter
Would come back.
440
00:20:59,331 --> 00:21:00,945
I don't know why
I'm sayin' that for.
441
00:21:00,969 --> 00:21:02,615
We're not being
Fair to miss pollard.
442
00:21:02,639 --> 00:21:05,521
Do you think she's
Being fair to us?
443
00:21:09,321 --> 00:21:10,399
Hi.
444
00:21:10,423 --> 00:21:11,803
We're just startin' for home.
445
00:21:11,827 --> 00:21:13,107
I'd only hold you back.
446
00:21:13,131 --> 00:21:15,010
I like to set my own pace.
447
00:21:15,034 --> 00:21:16,815
All right, we'll see you later.
448
00:21:16,839 --> 00:21:18,118
Bye-bye.
449
00:21:18,142 --> 00:21:19,676
See you later.
450
00:21:21,382 --> 00:21:22,628
One, hut, 3.
451
00:21:24,957 --> 00:21:26,169
Give it back here.
452
00:21:28,298 --> 00:21:29,376
Ready. March.
453
00:21:29,401 --> 00:21:31,748
Hut, 2, 3, 4. Hut...
454
00:21:33,444 --> 00:21:35,958
Hey, wait. Hold on!
455
00:21:37,620 --> 00:21:39,389
Come on.
456
00:21:51,586 --> 00:21:54,235
Come on, erin.
457
00:21:54,259 --> 00:21:55,938
Hey, there they go.
458
00:22:01,107 --> 00:22:03,378
Come on, girls. Hurry up.
459
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:14,147
This way. Watch
Out for the enemy.
460
00:22:15,675 --> 00:22:17,155
Who's got the gun?
461
00:22:17,179 --> 00:22:18,959
I got it.
462
00:22:18,983 --> 00:22:20,619
Whoa!
463
00:22:22,626 --> 00:22:24,093
Whoa!
464
00:22:28,036 --> 00:22:29,250
Good going.
465
00:22:30,543 --> 00:22:32,345
One, hut, 3...
466
00:22:37,492 --> 00:22:39,072
Ready? March.
467
00:22:39,096 --> 00:22:41,043
Hut, 2, 3, 4!
468
00:22:59,411 --> 00:23:01,891
look at me, father. Look at me.
469
00:23:01,915 --> 00:23:03,630
see me. See me.
470
00:23:10,703 --> 00:23:12,818
I have a feelin' we're
Wastin' our time.
471
00:23:12,842 --> 00:23:14,588
Just keep it real plain.
472
00:23:15,681 --> 00:23:16,727
Hello?
473
00:23:16,751 --> 00:23:17,951
Hello.
474
00:23:21,696 --> 00:23:22,675
How did it go?
475
00:23:22,699 --> 00:23:24,077
Quite well.
476
00:23:24,101 --> 00:23:27,486
Good. The first day on any
New job is usually the hardest.
477
00:23:27,510 --> 00:23:29,957
Will you have some tea with us?
478
00:23:29,981 --> 00:23:31,395
Uh, well, thank you,
479
00:23:31,419 --> 00:23:34,000
But I have some tests to score.
480
00:23:34,024 --> 00:23:35,872
Oh, about dinner.
481
00:23:35,896 --> 00:23:37,709
Uh, we're havin'
A treat tonight.
482
00:23:37,733 --> 00:23:38,779
Grandma is makin'
483
00:23:38,803 --> 00:23:40,982
Some of her special
Pork chop gravy.
484
00:23:41,006 --> 00:23:42,420
Oh, well, if you don't mind,
485
00:23:42,444 --> 00:23:46,261
I... I prefer to have a sandwich
And a glass of milk in my room.
486
00:23:46,285 --> 00:23:47,464
All right.
487
00:23:47,488 --> 00:23:48,856
Thank you.
488
00:23:53,369 --> 00:23:56,107
Well, you can't
Complain she's underfoot.
489
00:23:59,584 --> 00:24:00,629
What you're doin'?
490
00:24:00,653 --> 00:24:02,667
Will you hold this
While I put the paste on?
491
00:24:02,691 --> 00:24:04,237
Sure, what is it? A kite.
492
00:24:04,261 --> 00:24:05,740
A kite, huh?
493
00:24:05,764 --> 00:24:08,079
Let's see.
494
00:24:08,103 --> 00:24:10,117
Oh, this is a pretty
Funny-lookin' kite, ben.
495
00:24:10,141 --> 00:24:11,788
Well, grandpa
Says it's the best.
496
00:24:11,812 --> 00:24:13,926
Uh, I doubt you'll ever
Get this off the ground.
497
00:24:13,950 --> 00:24:15,864
Well, I had an idea of
What I wanted to do.
498
00:24:15,888 --> 00:24:17,567
But grandpa wanted
Me to do it his way.
499
00:24:17,592 --> 00:24:18,871
Hey, listen. You want a kite
500
00:24:18,896 --> 00:24:20,775
That will really
Outclass everybody's?
501
00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:22,547
I'll show you how
To build it, all right?
502
00:24:22,571 --> 00:24:25,286
Get some brown paper. I'll look
Up some wood, then I'll show you
503
00:24:25,310 --> 00:24:27,392
How to make a kite
That can go to the moon.
504
00:24:27,416 --> 00:24:29,930
But jason, I know what
I'm doing. Get the paper.
505
00:24:31,024 --> 00:24:32,068
Yes?
506
00:24:32,092 --> 00:24:33,929
It's john-boy, miss pollard.
507
00:24:40,178 --> 00:24:41,858
Hope I'm not
Interrupting your work.
508
00:24:41,882 --> 00:24:44,018
Oh, no. I could use a break.
509
00:24:48,698 --> 00:24:50,478
Is something wrong?
510
00:24:50,502 --> 00:24:51,547
Oh, no, sorry.
511
00:24:51,570 --> 00:24:53,050
It's just that you
Look so much, uh,
512
00:24:53,074 --> 00:24:54,722
Different with
Your hair like that.
513
00:24:54,746 --> 00:24:55,813
Hmm.
514
00:24:57,184 --> 00:24:58,831
I was wondering if
You h-had a chance
515
00:24:58,855 --> 00:25:00,401
To read my story.
516
00:25:00,425 --> 00:25:02,640
Yes, I've read it.
517
00:25:02,664 --> 00:25:03,797
Well?
518
00:25:06,906 --> 00:25:10,290
Your writing is
Completely undisciplined.
519
00:25:10,314 --> 00:25:12,752
I don't think I know
What you mean.
520
00:25:13,957 --> 00:25:16,238
Literature, uh,
521
00:25:16,262 --> 00:25:18,910
Doesn't come from a
Jumble of raw emotions.
522
00:25:18,934 --> 00:25:22,485
Good writing has to be
Detached and objective.
523
00:25:22,509 --> 00:25:26,128
One has to feel that
The author is in control.
524
00:25:26,152 --> 00:25:28,199
Well, you see, this story
Comes from something
525
00:25:28,223 --> 00:25:31,373
That really actually did
Happen between my father and me.
526
00:25:31,397 --> 00:25:33,780
And I thought maybe I
Could share the feelings
527
00:25:33,804 --> 00:25:34,882
I had in the story.
528
00:25:34,906 --> 00:25:36,518
Listen, there's a trap there.
529
00:25:36,542 --> 00:25:39,525
When you're writing about such
An intense personal relationship,
530
00:25:39,549 --> 00:25:41,731
You have to be all
The more objective.
531
00:25:41,755 --> 00:25:45,038
It's so easy to fall
Into mawkishness
532
00:25:45,062 --> 00:25:47,042
Or sentimentality.
533
00:25:47,066 --> 00:25:49,047
That's what you think I did?
534
00:25:49,071 --> 00:25:52,121
You want my honest reaction?
535
00:25:52,145 --> 00:25:53,758
Sure.
536
00:25:53,782 --> 00:25:56,063
I was embarrassed.
537
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:58,302
If you must put down
Your feelings, use a diary.
538
00:25:58,326 --> 00:26:00,306
But if you're writing
For publication,
539
00:26:00,331 --> 00:26:01,845
You have to work for balance.
540
00:26:01,869 --> 00:26:03,069
Style.
541
00:26:10,154 --> 00:26:13,671
Do you know the essays
Of ralph waldo emerson?
542
00:26:13,695 --> 00:26:15,275
Somewhat.
543
00:26:15,299 --> 00:26:17,213
Study his essay on intellect.
544
00:26:17,237 --> 00:26:19,819
Paragraph by
Paragraph, word by word.
545
00:26:19,843 --> 00:26:20,988
Ask yourself
546
00:26:21,012 --> 00:26:23,394
Why emerson used one
Phrase instead of another.
547
00:26:23,418 --> 00:26:25,732
Analyze his rhythms,
Diagram his sentences,
548
00:26:25,756 --> 00:26:27,636
List the figures of speech.
549
00:26:27,660 --> 00:26:30,444
When you think you finally
Understand the techniques he used,
550
00:26:30,468 --> 00:26:33,852
Try and write an
Essay just like his.
551
00:26:33,876 --> 00:26:36,960
Well, I don't know
If I can do that.
552
00:26:36,984 --> 00:26:38,719
You asked for help.
553
00:26:40,225 --> 00:26:41,358
True.
554
00:26:42,930 --> 00:26:44,732
Well, I do thank you.
555
00:26:49,812 --> 00:26:51,727
Mary-ellen walton. Here.
556
00:26:51,751 --> 00:26:53,029
Addie wilson. Absent.
557
00:26:53,053 --> 00:26:54,199
Lucilla younger.
558
00:26:54,223 --> 00:26:55,802
Here.
559
00:26:55,826 --> 00:26:58,977
There seem to be an unusual
Number of absentees today.
560
00:26:59,001 --> 00:27:00,179
To save time in the future,
561
00:27:00,203 --> 00:27:02,085
I've made an alphabetical
Seating chart.
562
00:27:02,109 --> 00:27:04,122
We don't need too many changes.
563
00:27:04,146 --> 00:27:05,692
So at recess,
564
00:27:05,716 --> 00:27:07,830
Martha bronson, trade
With george talbot,
565
00:27:07,854 --> 00:27:10,304
Arthur hapgood with jane porter,
566
00:27:10,328 --> 00:27:13,978
And betty andrews trade
With lucilla younger.
567
00:27:14,002 --> 00:27:16,317
Mrs. Pollard.
568
00:27:16,341 --> 00:27:17,708
Yes, lucy?
569
00:27:19,816 --> 00:27:21,595
Miss pollard, may I
Please keep that desk?
570
00:27:21,619 --> 00:27:24,202
Lucilla, I've explained that I
Want alphabetical seating.
571
00:27:24,226 --> 00:27:26,073
Since your name
Begins with a "Y,"
572
00:27:26,097 --> 00:27:27,275
You sit at the end of the row.
573
00:27:27,299 --> 00:27:28,678
Yeah, but miss hunter said...
574
00:27:28,702 --> 00:27:31,752
Lucilla, miss hunter isn't
Teaching this class now. I am.
575
00:27:31,776 --> 00:27:33,057
So during recess,
576
00:27:33,081 --> 00:27:35,150
You will change your seat.
577
00:27:39,796 --> 00:27:41,163
Yes, john?
578
00:27:42,502 --> 00:27:43,914
Excuse me, ma'am.
579
00:27:43,938 --> 00:27:45,852
You see, the... The
Reason that lucilla...
580
00:27:45,876 --> 00:27:47,222
I'm not interested.
581
00:27:47,246 --> 00:27:49,794
I have my own reasons for
Asking her to change her seat.
582
00:27:49,818 --> 00:27:51,599
Oh, I don't think
You understand...
583
00:27:51,623 --> 00:27:53,225
I've heard enough.
584
00:27:55,966 --> 00:27:57,134
Sorry.
585
00:28:00,594 --> 00:28:01,840
And before we start work,
586
00:28:01,864 --> 00:28:05,649
Ben walton, will you
Come up here, please?
587
00:28:05,674 --> 00:28:07,486
Yes, miss pollard?
588
00:28:07,510 --> 00:28:09,124
On the basis of your tests,
589
00:28:09,148 --> 00:28:10,528
I don't think you're quite ready
590
00:28:10,552 --> 00:28:12,031
For sixth-grade work.
591
00:28:12,055 --> 00:28:14,101
Your science test
Was particularly bad.
592
00:28:14,125 --> 00:28:16,340
Well, you see, I'm never
Good on written tests
593
00:28:16,364 --> 00:28:18,679
When I can just talk.
594
00:28:18,703 --> 00:28:21,251
We have to rely
On written tests.
595
00:28:21,275 --> 00:28:22,821
And under the circumstances,
596
00:28:22,845 --> 00:28:25,227
I don't think it'd be fair
To keep you in 6th grade.
597
00:28:25,251 --> 00:28:27,800
You mean, I have to be in
5th grade all over again?
598
00:28:27,824 --> 00:28:29,102
I'm afraid so.
599
00:28:29,126 --> 00:28:31,798
You can change your
Desk during recess.
600
00:28:42,692 --> 00:28:44,205
Now, first grade
601
00:28:44,229 --> 00:28:47,145
Get out your penmanship
Books and work on letter "Q."
602
00:28:47,169 --> 00:28:48,515
2nd grade,
603
00:28:48,539 --> 00:28:51,476
Turn to the story on
Page 32 of your readers.
604
00:29:00,131 --> 00:29:01,612
You can see for yourself
605
00:29:01,636 --> 00:29:03,014
Where ben's test scores lie
606
00:29:03,038 --> 00:29:05,877
In relationship to
The other 6th graders.
607
00:29:07,584 --> 00:29:10,232
Well, I know written
Tests are important,
608
00:29:10,256 --> 00:29:12,805
But surely class
Participation counts, too.
609
00:29:12,829 --> 00:29:15,178
Well, my father pioneered
These testing procedures.
610
00:29:15,202 --> 00:29:17,650
And I worked very closely
With him in their development.
611
00:29:17,674 --> 00:29:18,853
And I know
612
00:29:18,877 --> 00:29:21,291
That these aptitude profiles
Are remarkably accurate.
613
00:29:21,315 --> 00:29:23,697
And under the circumstances,
I don't think it'll be fair
614
00:29:23,721 --> 00:29:25,033
To keep ben in the 6th grade.
615
00:29:25,057 --> 00:29:26,537
Wh-what we don't understand
616
00:29:26,561 --> 00:29:28,942
Is how ben seemed
To be doing so well.
617
00:29:28,966 --> 00:29:32,249
On his last report
Card, he got mostly b's.
618
00:29:32,273 --> 00:29:35,525
Well, miss hunter has
Her methods. I have mine.
619
00:29:35,549 --> 00:29:38,030
Understand we're not telling
You how to teach school.
620
00:29:38,054 --> 00:29:39,935
Just we want
What's best for ben.
621
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,739
I do understand that.
622
00:29:41,763 --> 00:29:43,076
But in the classroom,
623
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:45,916
That decision has to be mine.
624
00:29:45,940 --> 00:29:48,154
Could... Could you give
Him an oral examination
625
00:29:48,178 --> 00:29:49,724
Over the same material?
626
00:29:49,748 --> 00:29:50,861
It'll give him a chance
627
00:29:50,885 --> 00:29:52,831
To show what he
Knows in his own way.
628
00:29:52,855 --> 00:29:54,535
I don't see how that
Will do any good.
629
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:56,040
I'm sure ben will do very well
630
00:29:56,064 --> 00:29:57,308
When he applies himself.
631
00:29:57,332 --> 00:29:59,368
Will you excuse me, please?
632
00:30:06,721 --> 00:30:07,967
Who's that?
633
00:30:07,991 --> 00:30:09,035
It's me, elizabeth.
634
00:30:09,059 --> 00:30:11,107
I'm playing "I'm a grownup."
635
00:30:11,131 --> 00:30:13,145
That can be fun sometimes.
636
00:30:13,169 --> 00:30:14,549
It'll make daddy laugh.
637
00:30:14,573 --> 00:30:16,654
He'll pretend he
Doesn't recognize me.
638
00:30:27,871 --> 00:30:29,717
Now, what was the
Name of the queen
639
00:30:29,741 --> 00:30:31,454
Who helped columbus?
640
00:30:31,478 --> 00:30:32,746
Lucilla?
641
00:30:34,787 --> 00:30:36,767
Lucilla?
642
00:30:36,791 --> 00:30:39,005
I'm sorry. I didn't
Hear the question.
643
00:30:39,029 --> 00:30:40,375
You didn't hear the question
644
00:30:40,399 --> 00:30:42,212
Because you weren't
Paying attention.
645
00:30:42,236 --> 00:30:43,750
No, miss pollard, the reason...
646
00:30:43,774 --> 00:30:45,220
I'm not interested in excuses.
647
00:30:45,244 --> 00:30:47,492
You'll stay after school,
And write a 100-word theme
648
00:30:47,516 --> 00:30:49,864
On the importance of
Paying attention in class.
649
00:30:49,888 --> 00:30:52,236
Now, who knows the
Answer to my question?
650
00:30:52,260 --> 00:30:53,338
Ben?
651
00:30:53,362 --> 00:30:54,441
Queen isabella.
652
00:30:54,465 --> 00:30:55,733
Lucilla!
653
00:30:57,171 --> 00:30:58,607
John walton.
654
00:31:02,918 --> 00:31:04,965
Class!
655
00:31:04,989 --> 00:31:07,772
We'll go on with
Our history lesson.
656
00:31:07,796 --> 00:31:10,234
Now, who can name
Columbus' ships?
657
00:31:18,521 --> 00:31:21,404
Well, now, what
Have we got here?
658
00:31:21,428 --> 00:31:23,142
Thought you'd be
Working on your kite.
659
00:31:23,166 --> 00:31:24,611
I'm not even gonna
Bother with it.
660
00:31:24,635 --> 00:31:26,582
I'll just mess it up anyway.
661
00:31:26,606 --> 00:31:28,353
Ben, that doesn't
Sound like you.
662
00:31:28,377 --> 00:31:31,115
I don't know if I can
Do anything right.
663
00:31:34,058 --> 00:31:35,503
Built this kite, didn't you?
664
00:31:35,527 --> 00:31:37,875
Yeah, but jason
Showed me how to do it.
665
00:31:37,899 --> 00:31:42,274
I had an idea of my
Own, but... Daddy?
666
00:31:43,813 --> 00:31:46,930
Do you think I'm dumb?
667
00:31:46,954 --> 00:31:49,503
Listen, son, I know you've
Been feelin' kind of low lately,
668
00:31:49,527 --> 00:31:51,774
And I don't blame you, but, uh.
669
00:31:51,798 --> 00:31:53,746
I don't allow dumb
People in this family,
670
00:31:53,770 --> 00:31:55,083
You understand?
671
00:31:55,107 --> 00:31:57,087
Yes, sir.
672
00:31:57,111 --> 00:31:58,324
Now listen, here,
673
00:31:58,348 --> 00:32:00,562
Why not you just build
The kite you got in mind?
674
00:32:00,586 --> 00:32:02,766
Your own way.
675
00:32:02,790 --> 00:32:05,205
You take no advice from anybody.
676
00:32:05,229 --> 00:32:06,308
You understand?
677
00:32:06,332 --> 00:32:08,001
Thank you, daddy.
678
00:32:26,646 --> 00:32:28,215
How's it going?
679
00:32:29,921 --> 00:32:31,055
Fine.
680
00:32:38,273 --> 00:32:40,610
There's evidence
To the contrary.
681
00:32:41,814 --> 00:32:43,750
Well, I'll work it out.
682
00:32:44,855 --> 00:32:46,501
You know, I may
Be able to help you,
683
00:32:46,525 --> 00:32:48,739
If you can get over
Being angry at me.
684
00:32:48,763 --> 00:32:52,450
You're surrendering
To your emotions again.
685
00:32:52,474 --> 00:32:56,592
Like running out of class
Without an explanation.
686
00:32:56,616 --> 00:32:57,761
Well, I had a reason.
687
00:32:57,785 --> 00:33:00,267
Would you care to
Tell me what it is?
688
00:33:00,291 --> 00:33:01,359
No.
689
00:33:07,474 --> 00:33:09,990
There's a theory
690
00:33:10,014 --> 00:33:12,128
That we can only understand
Human relationships
691
00:33:12,153 --> 00:33:13,964
When we view them objectively.
692
00:33:13,988 --> 00:33:16,894
Now, my father's
Theory... Miss pollard!
693
00:33:19,302 --> 00:33:20,780
Lucilla younger is not a theory.
694
00:33:20,805 --> 00:33:23,020
She's a little girl
Who's hard of hearing
695
00:33:23,044 --> 00:33:24,691
And that's why miss hunter
696
00:33:24,715 --> 00:33:27,887
Always lets her sit up
At the front of the class.
697
00:33:32,866 --> 00:33:34,268
She's deaf?
698
00:33:36,309 --> 00:33:37,487
No, she's not deaf.
699
00:33:37,511 --> 00:33:39,847
She just doesn't hear very well.
700
00:33:47,467 --> 00:33:49,370
Why didn't she tell me?
701
00:33:50,675 --> 00:33:52,143
She tried to.
702
00:33:53,381 --> 00:33:54,682
So did I.
703
00:33:59,128 --> 00:34:00,329
I see.
704
00:34:14,597 --> 00:34:16,511
Oh, good mornin'.
705
00:34:16,535 --> 00:34:18,215
I just heard about the meetin'.
706
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,018
And I was wonderin'
If you'd like to talk
707
00:34:20,042 --> 00:34:21,923
Over the problems
With me beforehand.
708
00:34:21,947 --> 00:34:23,327
What meeting?
709
00:34:23,351 --> 00:34:25,899
Why? The special meetin'
Of the school board.
710
00:34:25,923 --> 00:34:28,105
I just assumed you'd
Be invited because...
711
00:34:28,129 --> 00:34:31,045
Since I'm the reason the
Meeting's being called?
712
00:34:31,069 --> 00:34:32,938
Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry.
713
00:34:34,277 --> 00:34:35,388
I... I... I know
714
00:34:35,412 --> 00:34:38,150
Everythin' is going
To work out just fine.
715
00:35:06,084 --> 00:35:07,830
Miss pollard get
Back from school yet?
716
00:35:07,854 --> 00:35:08,900
Not yet.
717
00:35:08,924 --> 00:35:10,370
What happened at the meetin'?
718
00:35:10,394 --> 00:35:11,861
Ah, what a mess.
719
00:35:12,900 --> 00:35:15,181
The parents are all real upset.
720
00:35:15,205 --> 00:35:17,519
Half the children are
Refusing to go to school
721
00:35:17,543 --> 00:35:20,380
And the other half
Are threatenin' to quit.
722
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:24,135
Little lucilla younger
Has taken to her bed.
723
00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:26,274
Was she set back like ben?
724
00:35:26,298 --> 00:35:27,977
Not in the same way.
725
00:35:28,001 --> 00:35:29,714
What's gonna happen?
726
00:35:29,738 --> 00:35:31,619
I don't know.
727
00:35:31,643 --> 00:35:33,524
All the parents are
Sayin' it was a mistake
728
00:35:33,548 --> 00:35:35,528
To bring miss pollard
Here in the first place.
729
00:35:35,552 --> 00:35:36,698
They want me to talk to her.
730
00:35:36,722 --> 00:35:39,237
They want me to bring
About some changes.
731
00:35:39,261 --> 00:35:42,385
Mr. Walton, may I speak
To you for a minute?
732
00:35:55,431 --> 00:35:56,610
I was hopin'
733
00:35:56,634 --> 00:35:59,083
I would talk to you,
Too, miss pollard.
734
00:35:59,107 --> 00:36:01,621
I'm submitting my resignation.
735
00:36:01,645 --> 00:36:03,995
What do you mean you're
Submitting your resignation?
736
00:36:04,019 --> 00:36:05,865
Effective at once.
737
00:36:05,889 --> 00:36:07,770
I admit we have a problem here,
738
00:36:07,794 --> 00:36:09,673
But nothin' we can't talk out.
739
00:36:09,697 --> 00:36:11,845
I don't think it would do
Any good to talk about it.
740
00:36:11,869 --> 00:36:13,283
My resignation settles it.
741
00:36:13,307 --> 00:36:14,552
No, it doesn't.
742
00:36:14,576 --> 00:36:17,191
Your resignation unsettles
Everything, miss pollard.
743
00:36:17,215 --> 00:36:18,461
We need a teacher here.
744
00:36:18,485 --> 00:36:20,800
We need you.
745
00:36:20,824 --> 00:36:22,270
Half the class doesn't need me.
746
00:36:22,294 --> 00:36:23,840
Lucilla younger doesn't need me.
747
00:36:23,864 --> 00:36:26,880
Your own children don't need me.
748
00:36:26,904 --> 00:36:29,053
I have tried to do my best,
749
00:36:29,077 --> 00:36:30,889
It, uh, just wasn't good enough.
750
00:36:30,913 --> 00:36:34,321
A lady with your education
Has a lot to give us here.
751
00:36:35,725 --> 00:36:36,870
Maybe it's a question
752
00:36:36,894 --> 00:36:39,710
Of you learnin' how to give it.
753
00:36:39,734 --> 00:36:41,582
Mr. Walton, I didn't
Want this discussion,
754
00:36:41,606 --> 00:36:44,722
But since you started
It, let's speak plainly.
755
00:36:44,746 --> 00:36:46,158
They just don't like me.
756
00:36:46,183 --> 00:36:47,628
Now I have, sometimes,
757
00:36:47,652 --> 00:36:49,566
Been able to force
People to respect me
758
00:36:49,590 --> 00:36:51,738
I can sometimes make
Them a little afraid of me,
759
00:36:51,762 --> 00:36:53,843
But I can't make them like me.
760
00:36:53,867 --> 00:36:56,516
You can give them a chance.
761
00:36:56,540 --> 00:36:58,388
Mr. Walton, if I
Can't be a teacher
762
00:36:58,412 --> 00:37:00,325
Without winning a
Popularity contest,
763
00:37:00,349 --> 00:37:01,361
I can't teach.
764
00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:02,963
No one is askin' you to win...
765
00:37:02,987 --> 00:37:05,058
I'll leave in the morning.
766
00:37:24,705 --> 00:37:25,950
Yes?
767
00:37:25,974 --> 00:37:27,511
It's john-boy.
768
00:37:35,697 --> 00:37:37,445
I just came to say thank you.
769
00:37:37,469 --> 00:37:39,248
For what?
770
00:37:39,273 --> 00:37:40,452
Oh, lots of things.
771
00:37:40,476 --> 00:37:42,957
For readin' my story,
Trying to help me out,
772
00:37:42,981 --> 00:37:44,662
For lending me this book.
773
00:37:44,686 --> 00:37:46,197
I see it belonged
To your father.
774
00:37:46,222 --> 00:37:48,303
Yes. He was always
Quoting emerson,
775
00:37:48,327 --> 00:37:51,176
And ruskin, and montaigne.
776
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,345
I'm glad to know
777
00:37:52,369 --> 00:37:54,819
That I was able to be of
Some help to somebody.
778
00:37:54,843 --> 00:37:57,724
I think you taught me
Something very important.
779
00:37:57,748 --> 00:37:59,250
Emerson and I.
780
00:38:00,254 --> 00:38:01,668
You see, for me,
781
00:38:01,692 --> 00:38:05,163
The feelings have to be
There first or I just can't write.
782
00:38:08,272 --> 00:38:10,622
The whole point of my
Criticism was to guide you away
783
00:38:10,646 --> 00:38:12,192
From that reliance on feeling.
784
00:38:12,216 --> 00:38:13,328
I know.
785
00:38:13,351 --> 00:38:15,533
I tried to do what
You told me to do.
786
00:38:15,557 --> 00:38:18,006
Concentrate on words and
Rhythms and figures of speech,
787
00:38:18,030 --> 00:38:20,846
And never mind whether there
Was anything I had really to say.
788
00:38:20,870 --> 00:38:22,248
For me, that just doesn't work.
789
00:38:22,272 --> 00:38:24,788
I hardly think you've
Given it a fair trial.
790
00:38:24,812 --> 00:38:26,024
No?
791
00:38:26,049 --> 00:38:27,628
I read my story over again
792
00:38:27,652 --> 00:38:29,566
And I admit there's
Things wrong with it.
793
00:38:29,590 --> 00:38:32,506
It's clumsy and
Awkward in places
794
00:38:32,530 --> 00:38:34,009
But I think it says
Something true
795
00:38:34,033 --> 00:38:35,980
About the feelings
Between me and my family.
796
00:38:36,004 --> 00:38:37,082
And I know now that
797
00:38:37,107 --> 00:38:40,457
That's what I want
My writing to do.
798
00:38:40,481 --> 00:38:42,095
I see.
799
00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:43,999
I don't expect
Everyone's going to like it,
800
00:38:44,023 --> 00:38:45,369
Because they won't.
801
00:38:45,393 --> 00:38:48,008
Some people are going to like it
802
00:38:48,032 --> 00:38:49,613
And some people
Are just going to be
803
00:38:49,637 --> 00:38:52,140
Uncomfortable and
Embarrassed by it.
804
00:38:53,946 --> 00:38:55,214
Like me.
805
00:38:59,559 --> 00:39:01,205
First, you thank
Me for helping you
806
00:39:01,230 --> 00:39:04,881
And then you tell me everything
I said and did was wrong.
807
00:39:04,905 --> 00:39:08,911
I just think maybe you helped
Me in a way that you didn't intend.
808
00:39:10,451 --> 00:39:12,454
It doesn't really matter.
809
00:39:14,996 --> 00:39:17,544
Well, anyway, I did read all
These essays and I confess
810
00:39:17,568 --> 00:39:18,848
That the one I liked the best
811
00:39:18,872 --> 00:39:21,219
Is the one on self-reliance.
812
00:39:21,243 --> 00:39:23,926
This may be a good time
For me to reread that one.
813
00:39:23,950 --> 00:39:25,830
Well, I just like that
One because he says,
814
00:39:25,854 --> 00:39:28,157
You have to trust your emotions.
815
00:40:02,907 --> 00:40:06,124
Thank you, lord, for keeping
This family in good health.
816
00:40:06,148 --> 00:40:07,560
And for givin' us the strength
817
00:40:07,584 --> 00:40:09,999
To handle the
Burdens of each day.
818
00:40:10,023 --> 00:40:12,437
And for the blessing
Of this bountiful food.
819
00:40:12,461 --> 00:40:13,507
Amen.
820
00:40:13,531 --> 00:40:14,899
Amen.
821
00:40:19,212 --> 00:40:21,159
It's quiet tonight.
822
00:40:21,183 --> 00:40:23,313
Is miss pollard really leaving?
823
00:40:23,337 --> 00:40:25,518
She is, honey. Tomorrow morning.
824
00:40:25,542 --> 00:40:27,290
Who'll be our teacher now?
825
00:40:27,314 --> 00:40:29,116
Now, don't look at me.
826
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,868
She shouldn't go.
827
00:40:31,892 --> 00:40:33,937
Can't you talk to her, daddy?
828
00:40:33,962 --> 00:40:36,377
I tried to. She just
Won't listen to reason.
829
00:40:36,401 --> 00:40:37,947
Reason has nothin' to do
830
00:40:37,972 --> 00:40:39,952
With what's happenin' to her.
831
00:40:39,976 --> 00:40:41,354
She's up in her room, crying.
832
00:40:41,378 --> 00:40:42,780
I heard her.
833
00:40:57,318 --> 00:40:59,153
Miss pollard?
834
00:41:00,658 --> 00:41:02,939
Miss pollard?
835
00:41:02,963 --> 00:41:04,743
I'm resting.
836
00:41:04,766 --> 00:41:07,404
Miss pollard, I'd
Like to talk to you.
837
00:41:08,776 --> 00:41:11,013
Megan, open this door at once.
838
00:41:19,735 --> 00:41:22,017
I didn't want anyone to see me.
839
00:41:22,041 --> 00:41:24,455
Because you've been cryin'?
840
00:41:24,479 --> 00:41:27,029
It's so childish, weak.
841
00:41:27,053 --> 00:41:29,790
We all feel childish
And weak sometimes.
842
00:41:30,795 --> 00:41:32,441
But adults mustn't show it.
843
00:41:32,465 --> 00:41:33,732
Why not?
844
00:41:37,343 --> 00:41:38,610
Why not?
845
00:41:41,052 --> 00:41:44,602
Because intelligent people
Are strong and self-reliant.
846
00:41:44,626 --> 00:41:49,147
And never depend on
Anyone for support,
847
00:41:49,171 --> 00:41:50,438
Comfort?
848
00:41:52,145 --> 00:41:53,279
Love?
849
00:41:54,651 --> 00:41:57,667
Well, if you don't
Depend on anyone...
850
00:41:57,691 --> 00:41:59,460
You never get hurt.
851
00:42:01,266 --> 00:42:03,202
Megan, how old are you?
852
00:42:04,941 --> 00:42:06,175
I'm 24.
853
00:42:10,553 --> 00:42:14,440
And tonight, I feel
Younger than elizabeth.
854
00:42:14,464 --> 00:42:17,869
You've accomplished a great
Deal for someone so young.
855
00:42:19,340 --> 00:42:21,554
I worked very hard
856
00:42:21,578 --> 00:42:23,817
To get through the university.
857
00:42:25,689 --> 00:42:29,108
I always managed
To get good marks.
858
00:42:29,132 --> 00:42:32,748
Your father must have
Been very proud of you.
859
00:42:34,543 --> 00:42:36,779
I think I did it all for him.
860
00:42:38,553 --> 00:42:41,323
I wanted to please
Him more than anything,
861
00:42:43,697 --> 00:42:45,800
And we never really talked.
862
00:42:50,981 --> 00:42:52,383
He couldn't
863
00:42:53,453 --> 00:42:55,155
Communicate. He...
864
00:42:56,661 --> 00:42:58,797
He couldn't express emotion.
865
00:43:03,310 --> 00:43:05,079
I think I needed...
866
00:43:07,853 --> 00:43:09,889
I think if he just once...
867
00:43:17,442 --> 00:43:20,481
Megan, listen.
868
00:43:21,619 --> 00:43:23,355
I like you.
869
00:43:25,227 --> 00:43:26,928
We all like you.
870
00:43:29,605 --> 00:43:32,242
Or we could, if
You'd risk lettin' us.
871
00:43:35,852 --> 00:43:39,069
When the lord gave
Human beings 2 arms,
872
00:43:39,093 --> 00:43:42,599
It wasn't to keep other
Human beings at a safe distance.
873
00:43:48,514 --> 00:43:51,765
Trust your feelings, megan.
874
00:43:51,789 --> 00:43:52,889
Try.
875
00:43:57,068 --> 00:43:58,169
Try.
876
00:43:59,508 --> 00:44:00,742
Come on.
877
00:44:02,347 --> 00:44:03,547
Megan.
878
00:44:23,528 --> 00:44:24,764
Come on.
879
00:44:33,019 --> 00:44:34,098
Well?
880
00:44:34,122 --> 00:44:35,167
Erin, scooch down.
881
00:44:35,191 --> 00:44:37,304
Mary ellen, get a plate
And some silverware.
882
00:44:38,531 --> 00:44:39,778
Get a glass, too.
883
00:44:39,802 --> 00:44:42,085
Hurry up.
884
00:44:42,641 --> 00:44:43,787
Are you sure there's room?
885
00:44:43,811 --> 00:44:45,190
Make a little more room.
886
00:44:45,214 --> 00:44:46,794
Plenty of room. Come on down.
887
00:44:46,818 --> 00:44:47,862
Right over here.
888
00:44:47,886 --> 00:44:48,998
Right here.
889
00:44:49,022 --> 00:44:50,568
Taste the chicken.
890
00:44:50,592 --> 00:44:52,139
Here are some peas.
891
00:44:52,163 --> 00:44:55,847
Got some fresh green
Onions right out of the garden.
892
00:45:05,661 --> 00:45:06,974
Good morning, class.
893
00:45:06,998 --> 00:45:08,666
Good morning.
894
00:45:17,321 --> 00:45:19,836
When you start in a race
895
00:45:19,860 --> 00:45:22,376
And you fall down
The first step you take.
896
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,781
What can you do about it?
897
00:45:24,805 --> 00:45:28,290
You can either lie there
And feel sorry for yourself
898
00:45:28,314 --> 00:45:30,216
Or crawl away and quit
899
00:45:31,354 --> 00:45:33,769
Or jump up and start over again.
900
00:45:33,793 --> 00:45:35,473
What would you do?
901
00:45:35,497 --> 00:45:36,542
Ben?
902
00:45:36,566 --> 00:45:38,135
I'd start over.
903
00:45:39,673 --> 00:45:42,378
Well, that's what I
Want to do with you.
904
00:45:44,217 --> 00:45:46,632
But I need your help.
905
00:45:46,656 --> 00:45:50,374
We have to pretend
That this is the first day.
906
00:45:50,398 --> 00:45:51,933
Can we do that?
907
00:45:54,541 --> 00:45:55,920
All right.
908
00:45:55,944 --> 00:45:58,493
That means lucilla,
You're in the front row.
909
00:45:58,517 --> 00:46:00,999
Ben, you're in 6th grade.
910
00:46:01,023 --> 00:46:04,506
Everyone trade back
The way you were.
911
00:46:10,211 --> 00:46:11,312
Now,
912
00:46:13,386 --> 00:46:16,903
Let's get to know each other,
And I don't mean more tests.
913
00:46:16,927 --> 00:46:20,144
Who'd like to introduce someone?
914
00:46:20,168 --> 00:46:21,536
Elizabeth.
915
00:46:27,518 --> 00:46:28,897
This is miss pollard.
916
00:46:28,921 --> 00:46:31,069
She's our teacher
While miss hunter is away.
917
00:46:31,093 --> 00:46:32,639
She comes from new york.
918
00:46:32,663 --> 00:46:35,011
She doesn't smile as
Much as miss hunter
919
00:46:35,035 --> 00:46:39,422
But maybe, after she
Gets to know us, she will.
920
00:46:39,446 --> 00:46:41,293
Hurry up, everybody.
921
00:46:41,317 --> 00:46:43,498
All the kites are going to
Be up before we get there.
922
00:46:43,522 --> 00:46:44,868
Where's ben?
923
00:46:44,892 --> 00:46:46,972
I expect he's gone to
Fetch the championship kite
924
00:46:46,996 --> 00:46:48,142
I showed him how to build.
925
00:46:49,470 --> 00:46:52,153
I gave him the special
Benefit of my knowhow.
926
00:46:53,512 --> 00:46:54,490
Hey, grandpa.
927
00:46:54,514 --> 00:46:55,993
And there it is now.
928
00:46:56,017 --> 00:46:59,702
Say, what do you
Know? Isn't it a beauty?
929
00:46:59,725 --> 00:47:00,804
Where you goin', ben?
930
00:47:00,828 --> 00:47:03,111
I'll be right back.
931
00:47:03,135 --> 00:47:05,181
What's he doin'?
932
00:47:05,205 --> 00:47:07,073
He's got another kite.
933
00:47:10,385 --> 00:47:13,367
Here's your kite, jason.
934
00:47:15,497 --> 00:47:17,477
Ah, looks like he's
Had the benefit
935
00:47:17,501 --> 00:47:19,080
Of more than one expert advice.
936
00:47:19,104 --> 00:47:21,620
Yeah. He just didn't want
To hurt anybody's feelings.
937
00:47:21,644 --> 00:47:23,680
Don't tell me there's more.
938
00:47:26,188 --> 00:47:28,369
I made this one all by myself.
939
00:47:28,393 --> 00:47:30,574
Well, what do you know?
940
00:47:30,598 --> 00:47:33,403
I'm tellin' you,
Skill is in the blood.
941
00:47:35,776 --> 00:47:38,180
Well, what are we
Waitin' for? Let's go.
942
00:47:39,251 --> 00:47:40,930
All aboard!
943
00:47:49,375 --> 00:47:52,992
ben's own personal kite
Won second prize that day.
944
00:47:53,016 --> 00:47:54,663
the other 3 waltons finished,
945
00:47:54,688 --> 00:47:56,400
as they say, "Out of the money"
946
00:47:56,424 --> 00:47:59,073
but nobody cared.
947
00:47:59,097 --> 00:48:01,579
in due time, miss
Hunter came back.
948
00:48:01,603 --> 00:48:03,884
and although everybody
Was glad to see her,
949
00:48:03,908 --> 00:48:07,158
there were tears shed at the
Thought of losing miss pollard.
950
00:48:07,182 --> 00:48:09,930
we had learned to
Know and to love her.
951
00:48:09,955 --> 00:48:13,529
we were all the richer for
The time she had spent with us.
952
00:48:28,366 --> 00:48:29,978
I still have that collection5
953
00:48:30,002 --> 00:48:32,250
of emerson's essays on my desk.
954
00:48:32,274 --> 00:48:34,254
whenever I open its pages,
955
00:48:34,278 --> 00:48:38,231
I'm carried back again to those
Depression years on walton's mountain
956
00:48:38,255 --> 00:48:41,093
and the sound of
Those voices of the past.
957
00:48:44,169 --> 00:48:46,183
Mama? Yes, elizabeth.
958
00:48:46,207 --> 00:48:49,458
Do I have to wait to be
21 before I'm grown-up?
959
00:48:49,482 --> 00:48:51,195
Well, that depends.
960
00:48:51,219 --> 00:48:54,369
Some girls grow up
Sooner, some later.
961
00:48:54,393 --> 00:48:56,540
Will you tell me
When I'm a grownup?
962
00:48:56,564 --> 00:48:58,378
I won't have to tell you, honey.
963
00:48:58,402 --> 00:49:00,082
When it happens, you'll know.
964
00:49:00,106 --> 00:49:01,252
Good night, mama.
965
00:49:01,275 --> 00:49:03,177
Good night, elizabeth.
