1
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,781
When you're growing up...
2
00:01:20,848 --> 00:01:23,184
Septembers have
a special feeling.
3
00:01:23,251 --> 00:01:26,320
Another carefree summer
is all too quickly ended...
4
00:01:26,387 --> 00:01:29,757
and a new school year
is about to begin.
5
00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:34,495
There was an extra excitement
for me in the September of 1934.
6
00:01:34,562 --> 00:01:37,498
My years at Miss Hunter's
school on Walton's Mountain...
7
00:01:37,565 --> 00:01:40,000
were over and I was ready
to take those first...
8
00:01:40,067 --> 00:01:44,372
faltering steps into
the strange world outside.
9
00:01:44,438 --> 00:01:47,175
How vividly I recall
the edgy excitement...
10
00:01:47,241 --> 00:01:51,879
the awful exhilaration
of preparing for my first day...
11
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:53,514
at Boatwright University.
12
00:01:53,581 --> 00:01:56,350
It was a day which showed me
how little I knew...
13
00:01:56,417 --> 00:01:59,420
about some things
and how well my parents...
14
00:01:59,487 --> 00:02:01,622
had prepared me for others.
15
00:02:39,092 --> 00:02:41,862
John-Boy, what are you doing up
and dressed at this hour?
16
00:02:41,929 --> 00:02:44,732
Well, too excited to sleep.
Didn't mean to wake you.
17
00:02:44,798 --> 00:02:45,933
Come in.
18
00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:52,039
I just wanted to be sure
I'm 100% ready for them.
19
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:54,608
Was there ever such a worrier?
20
00:02:54,675 --> 00:02:58,011
I reckon I come by it naturally.
21
00:02:58,078 --> 00:02:59,847
Those creases
could be a bit sharper.
22
00:02:59,913 --> 00:03:03,284
Well, they're sharp
enough for me.
23
00:03:03,351 --> 00:03:06,454
You do look nice.
24
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,823
How I look isn't gonna count
for as much as how I do.
25
00:03:09,890 --> 00:03:12,826
You'll do just fine.
26
00:03:12,893 --> 00:03:16,864
It's a long way from this room
to Boatwright University.
27
00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:19,600
Are you scared?
28
00:03:19,667 --> 00:03:21,335
Me, too.
29
00:03:21,402 --> 00:03:25,339
-Got butterflies in your tummy?
-More like crocodiles.
30
00:03:29,943 --> 00:03:32,713
I'll be down in a minute.
31
00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:29,269
If you don't stop
brushing your hair...
32
00:04:29,337 --> 00:04:30,871
it's all gonna fall out.
33
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:34,808
Mama brushes her hair 100 times
a day and it doesn't fall out.
34
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:37,244
If you brush your teeth too much
will they fall out?
35
00:04:37,311 --> 00:04:39,547
They only fall out
if you don't brush them.
36
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:42,883
When mom sees that on your face
she's gonna have a fit.
37
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:44,718
It makes me glamorous.
38
00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:46,987
Makes you look like
you have a fever.
39
00:04:47,054 --> 00:04:49,757
We're gonna be late
if we don't move on.
40
00:04:49,823 --> 00:04:51,592
Erin's the one that's
holding up everything.
41
00:04:51,659 --> 00:04:54,962
I'm not. I have to look nice.
A new boy is joining school.
42
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:56,997
You better hope
he likes bald girls.
43
00:04:57,064 --> 00:05:00,501
You're funny, Mary Ellen.
Brushing's good for your hair.
44
00:05:00,568 --> 00:05:03,003
Jim-Bob, who ever told you
that you could sew?
45
00:05:03,070 --> 00:05:04,304
Looks pretty good to me.
46
00:05:04,372 --> 00:05:07,508
-Sissy!
-Hey, Jim-Bob! Stop that!
47
00:05:07,575 --> 00:05:10,010
-He called me a sissy!
-Look what you made me do.
48
00:05:10,077 --> 00:05:11,545
Serves you right!
49
00:05:11,612 --> 00:05:13,847
If you don't stop fighting,
I'm gonna call Daddy.
50
00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:16,183
He won't hear you.
He's milking the cow.
51
00:05:16,249 --> 00:05:18,285
-Let me up!
-Say uncle!
52
00:05:18,352 --> 00:05:20,821
-Daddy!
-Say uncle!
53
00:05:20,888 --> 00:05:22,456
No! Let me up!
54
00:05:22,523 --> 00:05:25,025
John-Boy, do you know how
to tie a bow tie?
55
00:05:25,092 --> 00:05:28,362
Jason, you know, I'm not gonna
be here for the next four years.
56
00:05:28,429 --> 00:05:30,163
You gonna let them
behave like this...
57
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:32,833
or you gonna
keep them in line?
58
00:05:34,635 --> 00:05:37,738
Come on, Ben, get up.
That's enough. Cut it out.
59
00:05:39,306 --> 00:05:41,008
Think it's funny, don't you?
60
00:05:41,074 --> 00:05:43,010
Mary Ellen, wipe that
rouge off your face.
61
00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:44,478
Erin, that's enough
hair brushing!
62
00:05:44,545 --> 00:05:46,013
Come on, everybody.
Everybody out.
63
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:47,481
Jim-Bob, get dressed!
64
00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:50,083
Elizabeth, come on!
Everybody move, come on, go!
65
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:51,485
Relax!
66
00:05:54,154 --> 00:05:55,789
Okay, brother?
67
00:05:57,391 --> 00:05:58,726
Okay.
68
00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:07,034
Not the bread this time.
69
00:06:09,236 --> 00:06:11,004
Here.
70
00:06:11,071 --> 00:06:12,806
Elizabeth, you haven't
eaten a thing.
71
00:06:12,873 --> 00:06:14,575
I'm not hungry.
72
00:06:14,642 --> 00:06:16,977
You're not going unless
you have a good breakfast.
73
00:06:17,044 --> 00:06:18,546
Then I get to stay home?
74
00:06:18,612 --> 00:06:20,313
You wouldn't want
to stay home...
75
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:21,915
when everybody was there,
would you?
76
00:06:21,982 --> 00:06:23,150
I'd try it.
77
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:25,753
It's the first day back to
school I don't like.
78
00:06:25,819 --> 00:06:28,622
After that you get back
into the same old boring rut.
79
00:06:28,689 --> 00:06:30,758
-Boring?
-She thinks everything's boring.
80
00:06:30,824 --> 00:06:33,060
-It's her new word.
-You children are gonna look...
81
00:06:33,126 --> 00:06:35,863
back on these days as
the best time of your life.
82
00:06:35,929 --> 00:06:37,865
* School days, school days *
83
00:06:37,931 --> 00:06:39,667
* Dear old golden rule days *
84
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:41,569
* Readin' and writin'
and 'rithmetic *
85
00:06:41,635 --> 00:06:43,103
* Taught to the tune
of the hick'ry *
86
00:06:43,170 --> 00:06:45,606
* You were my queen
in Calico *
87
00:06:45,673 --> 00:06:48,742
* I was your bashful,
barefoot beau *
88
00:06:48,809 --> 00:06:50,243
You were barefoot, alright...
89
00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:52,345
but you were as bashful
as a buzz saw.
90
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:54,381
Is that the way you remember it?
91
00:06:54,448 --> 00:06:58,118
-That's the way it was.
-Was, till I met you.
92
00:06:58,185 --> 00:06:59,620
Still being bashful?
93
00:06:59,687 --> 00:07:01,689
Maybe someday going
to school will be romantic...
94
00:07:01,755 --> 00:07:04,558
but right now it's just boring.
95
00:07:04,625 --> 00:07:06,259
I never thought
learning new things was boring.
96
00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:07,661
What new things?
97
00:07:07,728 --> 00:07:09,663
Same old subtraction
and multiplication...
98
00:07:09,730 --> 00:07:11,799
same old conjunctions,
adjectives and adverbs...
99
00:07:11,865 --> 00:07:16,870
same old history dates:
1492, 1776, 1861.
100
00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:20,407
Same old faces, same old squeaky
pencil sharpener.
101
00:07:20,474 --> 00:07:22,676
Why don't you try
oiling it this year?
102
00:07:22,743 --> 00:07:25,045
You can laugh, John-Boy.
You're going off to college...
103
00:07:25,112 --> 00:07:26,847
and you'll be seeing
new things.
104
00:07:26,914 --> 00:07:30,818
-New subjects, new faces.
-New faces, that's the truth.
105
00:07:30,884 --> 00:07:32,853
I'm going from someplace
where I know everybody...
106
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,688
to someplace where
I don't know anybody.
107
00:07:34,755 --> 00:07:37,357
-That's scary.
-But not boring.
108
00:07:37,424 --> 00:07:40,961
Ben, Jim-Bob, Erin, time
to get your things together.
109
00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:44,532
-Says you.
-Yeah, says me. I'm not gonna...
110
00:07:44,598 --> 00:07:46,399
have you straggling
in late the first day.
111
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:49,202
I'm not going till
John-Boy leaves.
112
00:07:49,269 --> 00:07:52,472
Well, it's time for John-Boy
to leave right now.
113
00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:54,174
You didn't eat your breakfast,
either.
114
00:07:54,241 --> 00:07:58,812
Well, I'll make up for it
at suppertime.
115
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,481
Say, what did happen in 1861?
116
00:08:04,251 --> 00:08:06,053
Can I learn to drive soon?
117
00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:09,657
Here he comes!
118
00:08:13,026 --> 00:08:15,495
-Looks pretty good.
-Thank you.
119
00:08:15,563 --> 00:08:17,898
John-Boy!
120
00:08:17,965 --> 00:08:20,100
John-Boy...
121
00:08:20,167 --> 00:08:22,636
I want you to take this.
122
00:08:22,703 --> 00:08:25,005
-$2.
-And 50 cents.
123
00:08:25,072 --> 00:08:27,841
-$2.50, for what?
-For emergencies.
124
00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:30,143
I've got this planned
to the last penny--
125
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:33,547
You don't plan emergencies. They
just happen. Now, you take that.
126
00:08:35,549 --> 00:08:38,752
Thank you.
127
00:08:38,819 --> 00:08:41,589
Thank you. I can't believe
I'm really going.
128
00:08:41,655 --> 00:08:43,156
Come on, honey.
129
00:08:43,223 --> 00:08:46,026
Who thought that my burying suit
would be going to college...
130
00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:49,096
instead of going up to heaven
with some harp-twanging angels?
131
00:08:49,162 --> 00:08:50,397
Or pitch forking devils.
132
00:08:50,463 --> 00:08:52,532
-Looky here, Esther--
-Oh, hush.
133
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,368
-I'll see everybody tonight.
-Okay.
134
00:08:55,435 --> 00:09:01,975
-We bought this for you.
-And Erin initialed it for you.
135
00:09:02,042 --> 00:09:04,277
-Thank you. Thank you.
-Have a nice day.
136
00:09:04,344 --> 00:09:05,779
Okay.
137
00:09:05,846 --> 00:09:07,681
Remember everything
so you can tell us later.
138
00:09:07,748 --> 00:09:09,850
-I will.
-Kiss the girls for me, okay?
139
00:09:09,917 --> 00:09:14,655
I will.
140
00:09:14,722 --> 00:09:16,289
-Good luck.
-Good luck, son.
141
00:09:16,356 --> 00:09:18,358
-Goodbye.
-Bye-bye.
142
00:09:18,425 --> 00:09:19,927
-Good luck.
-Bye.
143
00:09:29,036 --> 00:09:30,237
Okay, let's go.
144
00:09:30,303 --> 00:09:32,840
Since when are you
so anxious to go to school?
145
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:35,976
-Jim-Bob, where's your lunch?
-I gotta get my books.
146
00:09:36,043 --> 00:09:38,812
Hurry up, and I want you
to get organized this year.
147
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:42,015
We're not gonna wait
for you every morning.
148
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:45,819
-We can start. She'll catch up.
-Bye-bye.
149
00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:50,223
Sounds like our number two boy
is beginning to take over.
150
00:09:50,290 --> 00:09:54,027
Turned into a regular drill
sergeant, Pa.
151
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:58,365
Well, our John-Boy
is surely riding high.
152
00:09:59,466 --> 00:10:01,902
Most important day of his life.
153
00:10:42,175 --> 00:10:44,411
What we always wanted.
Isn't it, Liv?
154
00:11:14,074 --> 00:11:16,744
Please, please say you're going
to the Boatwright campus.
155
00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:18,378
I am going to
the Boatwright campus.
156
00:11:18,445 --> 00:11:20,948
You're an angel!
An absolute, lifesaving angel!
157
00:11:24,117 --> 00:11:25,652
-Hi.
-I'm Polly Thompson.
158
00:11:25,719 --> 00:11:27,287
-Oh, I'm--
-A friend was supposed...
159
00:11:27,354 --> 00:11:31,091
to drive me to the campus.
I was only a few minutes late.
160
00:11:31,158 --> 00:11:33,126
Heavens. I thought I was
stranded...
161
00:11:33,193 --> 00:11:35,295
absolutely quaking
at the thought of being late...
162
00:11:35,362 --> 00:11:38,365
dreadfully late,
on my very first day.
163
00:11:38,431 --> 00:11:41,835
And just when I was about
to succumb to despair rescue.
164
00:11:41,902 --> 00:11:43,370
Are you a student at Boatwright?
165
00:11:43,436 --> 00:11:45,172
I'm a freshman.
My name is John--
166
00:11:45,238 --> 00:11:48,341
It is such a relief
to be my own person finally.
167
00:11:48,408 --> 00:11:51,711
All those terrible games you
boys expect a girl to play...
168
00:11:51,779 --> 00:11:55,916
pretending to be helpless,
inadequate, totally dependant.
169
00:11:55,983 --> 00:11:58,919
Well, this morning is the
beginning of a new life for me.
170
00:11:58,986 --> 00:12:01,254
Old acquaintances won't
recognize me.
171
00:12:01,321 --> 00:12:05,759
Self-sufficient, resourceful,
equal to anything.
172
00:12:05,826 --> 00:12:07,895
Oh, you haven't told
me your name yet.
173
00:12:07,961 --> 00:12:10,998
John...Walton,
John Walton, Jr.
174
00:12:11,064 --> 00:12:14,802
Well, John Walton, don't you
think we better push on?
175
00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:16,603
You know, we could
still be late.
176
00:12:16,669 --> 00:12:19,139
Oh, of...Absolutely.
Of course.
177
00:12:19,206 --> 00:12:21,741
The first day of college.
There's nothing like it for...
178
00:12:21,809 --> 00:12:23,510
excitement and adventure..
179
00:13:35,515 --> 00:13:37,250
Young man!
180
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:38,451
Hello there!
181
00:13:38,518 --> 00:13:43,991
-Me?
-Yes, you're the young man.
182
00:13:44,057 --> 00:13:46,459
Isn't it marvelous
how friendly everyone is?
183
00:13:46,526 --> 00:13:48,728
I'm not so sure
he's being friendly.
184
00:13:48,795 --> 00:13:50,497
Of course he is.
185
00:13:50,563 --> 00:13:54,234
Look on the positive side
and life will be positive.
186
00:13:58,238 --> 00:14:01,574
-Where are we hurrying?
-To meet my dearest friend.
187
00:14:01,641 --> 00:14:03,877
Thanks for saving my life.
188
00:14:03,944 --> 00:14:06,379
Okay.
189
00:14:06,446 --> 00:14:08,215
Excuse me, do
the freshmen register...
190
00:14:08,281 --> 00:14:10,750
in the administration building?
191
00:14:10,817 --> 00:14:12,819
-You really are a freshman?
-Yeah.
192
00:14:12,886 --> 00:14:17,690
No upperclassman would ever come
on campus looking like that.
193
00:14:17,757 --> 00:14:19,092
Well, it's such a special day...
194
00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:21,694
I thought everybody'd
be dressed up.
195
00:14:21,761 --> 00:14:25,798
Friend, never dress up.
Dress down.
196
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:27,467
Casual, offhand.
197
00:14:30,103 --> 00:14:31,871
-I'm Mike West.
-I'm John Walton Jr.
198
00:14:31,939 --> 00:14:33,473
What year are you in?
199
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:36,443
I'm a freshman, but you won't
catch me advertising it.
200
00:14:36,509 --> 00:14:38,278
Listen, let me give you
some advice.
201
00:14:38,345 --> 00:14:40,347
You want to make it in college,
first...
202
00:14:40,413 --> 00:14:42,549
you never call attention
to yourself.
203
00:14:42,615 --> 00:14:46,186
And second, don't volunteer
for anything.
204
00:14:46,253 --> 00:14:48,721
And above everything,
don't look eager.
205
00:14:48,788 --> 00:14:50,223
Eager?
206
00:14:50,290 --> 00:14:54,627
The way you look right now,
open, vulnerable.
207
00:14:54,694 --> 00:14:57,130
You never let them see
you're interested.
208
00:14:57,197 --> 00:14:59,432
Look, here's the look you want.
209
00:15:01,969 --> 00:15:06,206
Always aloof, superior.
210
00:15:06,273 --> 00:15:10,077
-You make them feel uneasy.
-Alright.
211
00:15:10,143 --> 00:15:11,378
Hey! Hey, fellas.
212
00:15:11,444 --> 00:15:12,812
-How are you?
-Ignore them.
213
00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:14,247
Why? They're just
being friendly.
214
00:15:14,314 --> 00:15:16,283
-C'mon over.
-Don't pay attention to them.
215
00:15:16,349 --> 00:15:17,684
C'mon. They're just
being friendly.
216
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:19,987
-Hi, how are you?
-Hi.
217
00:15:20,053 --> 00:15:22,355
-It's your first day here?
-Very first.
218
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,524
-What's your name?
-John Walton Jr.
219
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:27,527
It's time you started
learning your place, frosh.
220
00:15:27,594 --> 00:15:29,196
Which is lower than low.
221
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:32,132
What do you mean walking
on Sophomore Circle?
222
00:15:32,199 --> 00:15:34,367
You fellas called me over,
didn't you?
223
00:15:34,434 --> 00:15:36,203
Well, no freshman's allowed
on this walk.
224
00:15:36,269 --> 00:15:39,672
Or maybe you think
you're special?
225
00:15:39,739 --> 00:15:41,274
No.
226
00:15:41,341 --> 00:15:44,211
-Where's your beanie?
-My what?
227
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:48,048
-Your freshman cap.
-I don't suppose I have one.
228
00:15:48,115 --> 00:15:51,451
Well, get one, fast. Okay?
229
00:15:51,518 --> 00:15:55,255
-Well, I suppose I might.
-Say, "Yes, sir."
230
00:15:55,322 --> 00:15:56,323
Well..
231
00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:58,625
Anytime an upperclassman
is kind enough...
232
00:15:58,691 --> 00:16:01,394
to even notice you're alive,
you must address him as "sir."
233
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:06,199
Let's hear a heartfelt apology
for your inexcusable behavior.
234
00:16:08,335 --> 00:16:10,470
I really wasn't aware
I was breaking any rules...
235
00:16:10,537 --> 00:16:12,772
and, I don't think
it's very fair of you--
236
00:16:12,839 --> 00:16:15,275
All freshmen are ignorant.
We are aware of that...
237
00:16:15,342 --> 00:16:18,978
but your ignorance is no excuse.
Now you must apologize.
238
00:16:20,180 --> 00:16:21,614
-I apologize.
-"Sir."
239
00:16:21,681 --> 00:16:22,949
Sir.
240
00:16:23,016 --> 00:16:24,317
-What's this?
-It's my handkerchief.
241
00:16:24,384 --> 00:16:26,586
Looks like a shoe rag.
242
00:16:31,824 --> 00:16:34,127
You're right. It's a shoe rag.
243
00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:42,202
And next time,
I'll let you shine them.
244
00:16:43,303 --> 00:16:46,539
-Yeah, okay.
-Hold it.
245
00:16:46,606 --> 00:16:49,342
Did you give the frosh
permission to leave?
246
00:16:49,409 --> 00:16:52,212
-He didn't ask.
-Well?
247
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:55,382
May I have permission to leave,
sir?
248
00:16:55,448 --> 00:16:57,217
For now.
249
00:16:57,284 --> 00:17:02,089
-But get that beanie on.
-Or you go swimming in the lake.
250
00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:05,725
-Might not be such a bad idea.
-Oh, Walton.
251
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:09,596
Welcome to Boatwright!
252
00:17:23,976 --> 00:17:25,312
Alright, Pa, take a breather.
253
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:27,414
It's hotter than a Turkish bath.
254
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,217
You think, maybe that we bit off
more than we can...
255
00:17:30,283 --> 00:17:33,086
chew contracting with
Talbot for six loads?
256
00:17:33,153 --> 00:17:37,157
-We'll manage.
-I sure miss John-Boy.
257
00:17:37,224 --> 00:17:39,025
He'll still help us.
258
00:17:39,092 --> 00:17:41,761
No. Less and less.
He's flown the coop.
259
00:17:41,828 --> 00:17:45,798
What with his job, school,
and his homework, less and less.
260
00:17:45,865 --> 00:17:49,602
What do you want me to do? Tell
him to forget what he wants?
261
00:17:49,669 --> 00:17:53,240
Settle for piecemealing lumber
and a jitney sawmill?
262
00:17:53,306 --> 00:17:55,642
No, you will do what
you have to do, John...
263
00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:58,445
and John-Boy will do
what he has to do.
264
00:17:58,511 --> 00:18:01,881
But we are sure gonna miss him.
265
00:18:01,948 --> 00:18:05,818
-Well, you're right there, Pa.
-But we will manage.
266
00:18:08,488 --> 00:18:10,557
Alright, now, take it easy.
267
00:18:41,020 --> 00:18:43,756
Did you lose something, Walton,
besides your dignity?
268
00:18:43,823 --> 00:18:45,892
No, I'm just trying
to find my big brother.
269
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:48,094
Oh, mine found me.
Davis, this is Walton.
270
00:18:48,161 --> 00:18:49,629
-How do you do?
-Hi.
271
00:18:49,696 --> 00:18:52,732
Mike's been telling me how I
could get more out of college.
272
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:55,668
-Your irony isn't lost on me.
-I'm relieved.
273
00:18:55,735 --> 00:18:57,704
I came here expecting
a lot of questions...
274
00:18:57,770 --> 00:19:00,307
and so far I've had
nothing but answers.
275
00:19:00,373 --> 00:19:03,910
What's your big brother's name?
276
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:06,279
-Hewlett, Shanks Hewlett.
-Oh, he's over there.
277
00:19:06,346 --> 00:19:08,348
The tall guy talking
to the pretty girl.
278
00:19:08,415 --> 00:19:11,651
-Oh, thank you very much.
-It's nice to be needed.
279
00:19:11,718 --> 00:19:14,821
Walton, listen, don't be
subservient.
280
00:19:14,887 --> 00:19:17,890
The first 30 seconds of any
relationship are critical.
281
00:19:17,957 --> 00:19:19,292
-Thank you.
-It's still no.
282
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,662
-You can't turn me down.
-I most certainly can.
283
00:19:22,729 --> 00:19:24,764
-Excuse me, but I believe--
-Freshmen pick up their...
284
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:27,434
orientation packets at the
appropriate table.
285
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:30,903
-I won't take no for an answer.
-Well, you just might have to.
286
00:19:30,970 --> 00:19:32,439
I have my packet.
287
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:34,841
If you have any questions,
try the information booth.
288
00:19:34,907 --> 00:19:37,143
I've been looking forward
to this all summer.
289
00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:42,349
Well, under those circumstances
then the answer is still no.
290
00:19:42,415 --> 00:19:45,184
You are my big brother.
291
00:19:45,252 --> 00:19:47,754
-Oh, yeah, Walston.
-Walton.
292
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:49,789
I wondered where you were.
Nice to have you, Walston.
293
00:19:49,856 --> 00:19:51,391
-Thank you. Walton.
-You seem to be doing...
294
00:19:51,458 --> 00:19:53,426
okay on your own.
That's the best way.
295
00:19:53,493 --> 00:19:55,061
You know, self-reliance
and all that.
296
00:19:55,127 --> 00:19:57,397
If you come up with
anything you can't handle...
297
00:19:57,464 --> 00:19:59,366
give me a whistle. Okay?
298
00:19:59,432 --> 00:20:01,901
-Okay, thank you. Bye.
-See you around.
299
00:20:01,968 --> 00:20:05,438
Now, we are going to reconsider
that answer, aren't we?
300
00:20:05,505 --> 00:20:07,540
Because you're too nice
a girl to turn down...
301
00:20:07,607 --> 00:20:09,942
a sensitive guy
like old Shanks.
302
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,516
John?
303
00:20:16,583 --> 00:20:18,685
I am so
glad to see you.
304
00:20:18,751 --> 00:20:21,788
I was beginning to think I'd
never see a friendly face again.
305
00:20:21,854 --> 00:20:23,923
-Been having some problems?
-Problems?
306
00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:27,059
Nothing's gone right for me
today, not one blessed thing.
307
00:20:27,126 --> 00:20:29,829
Some sophomores were exceedingly
rude and obnoxious.
308
00:20:29,896 --> 00:20:32,265
And now I can't find
my big sister.
309
00:20:32,332 --> 00:20:34,534
That sounds familiar.
310
00:20:34,601 --> 00:20:37,670
The nice thing that's happened
to me has been meeting you.
311
00:20:37,737 --> 00:20:39,205
Hearing that's
the first nice thing...
312
00:20:39,272 --> 00:20:40,740
-that's happened to me.
-Oh, my goodness!
313
00:20:40,807 --> 00:20:41,874
What?
314
00:20:41,941 --> 00:20:44,544
I am utterly ruined,
destroyed, annihilated.
315
00:20:44,611 --> 00:20:46,178
-What?
-My book bag.
316
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:48,981
I must have left it on that
bench by the fountain.
317
00:20:49,048 --> 00:20:51,050
It has my papers,
my five-year diary, everything.
318
00:20:51,117 --> 00:20:54,654
I'm gonna get it. On the bench,
by the fountain. Okay.
319
00:20:56,423 --> 00:20:58,691
Excuse me. Excuse me.
320
00:20:58,758 --> 00:21:01,828
I'll have them picked up in
just a second, sir. Everything.
321
00:21:01,894 --> 00:21:04,030
In alphabetical order?
322
00:21:08,234 --> 00:21:10,370
I've seen you someplace before,
haven't I?
323
00:21:10,437 --> 00:21:14,607
No. No, I don't think so.
I'm new here.
324
00:21:14,674 --> 00:21:17,076
Children, I want you..
Elizabeth, pay attention.
325
00:21:17,143 --> 00:21:20,480
I want you to read
the first page of your book...
326
00:21:20,547 --> 00:21:23,416
and if you come across any word
that you don't know...
327
00:21:23,483 --> 00:21:26,185
just write it down
on your papers...
328
00:21:26,252 --> 00:21:28,355
and we'll talk about them later.
329
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:34,594
Mary Ellen, are you
changing your desk?
330
00:21:34,661 --> 00:21:36,763
I've been sitting in the same
desk for years.
331
00:21:36,829 --> 00:21:39,666
-I've decided I need a change.
-Good idea.
332
00:21:39,732 --> 00:21:42,435
As you all know, this year we're
gonna be studying...
333
00:21:42,502 --> 00:21:44,471
civics the mechanics of our
governments...
334
00:21:44,537 --> 00:21:47,139
federal, state and local.
335
00:21:47,206 --> 00:21:50,577
Now, in our federal government
there are three branches.
336
00:21:50,643 --> 00:21:54,447
Who can name them?
337
00:21:54,514 --> 00:21:56,649
Surely somebody must know that.
338
00:21:59,986 --> 00:22:01,320
Jason.
339
00:22:06,459 --> 00:22:10,430
-Yes?
-I guess I don't know.
340
00:22:10,497 --> 00:22:15,468
Then why did you
raise your hand?
341
00:22:15,535 --> 00:22:17,737
I don't know why, Miss Hunter.
342
00:22:17,804 --> 00:22:20,006
You know I always appreciate it
when students volunteer...
343
00:22:20,072 --> 00:22:23,109
but to volunteer when you have
no answers just wastes...
344
00:22:23,175 --> 00:22:25,378
everybody's time.
345
00:22:26,913 --> 00:22:29,916
I'm sorry.
346
00:22:29,982 --> 00:22:32,351
The three branches are
the executive...
347
00:22:32,419 --> 00:22:36,222
the legislative and the
judicial.
348
00:22:36,288 --> 00:22:37,657
What's wrong with Jason?
349
00:22:37,724 --> 00:22:39,959
I don't know.
He's acting really weird.
350
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:49,869
-Here you go.
-Oh, John, thank you!
351
00:22:49,936 --> 00:22:51,938
If you hadn't found this,
I'd have died!
352
00:22:52,004 --> 00:22:54,907
Well, you would have been
inconvenienced and mortified...
353
00:22:54,974 --> 00:22:58,445
-but you would have survived.
-Oh, you know what I mean.
354
00:23:06,085 --> 00:23:08,821
Finally. A new student who looks
as if he might have...
355
00:23:08,888 --> 00:23:12,291
an IQ over 70 and some minimal
sense of responsibility.
356
00:23:12,358 --> 00:23:14,160
-Walton, is it?
-Yes, sir.
357
00:23:14,226 --> 00:23:17,564
Randolph, student chairman
of orientation.
358
00:23:17,630 --> 00:23:19,866
-How do you do?
-My co-chairman.
359
00:23:24,103 --> 00:23:26,573
No, actually, this is your
freshman class mascot.
360
00:23:26,639 --> 00:23:28,107
Our mascot?
361
00:23:28,174 --> 00:23:30,943
Walton, can I trust you to carry
out a simple assignment?
362
00:23:31,010 --> 00:23:32,945
Of course he can.
He's most dependable.
363
00:23:33,012 --> 00:23:35,548
Well, this mascot, with a
suitable escort...
364
00:23:35,615 --> 00:23:37,283
is to accompany
the freshman class sponsor...
365
00:23:37,349 --> 00:23:39,151
to the platform for the
orientation ceremonies...
366
00:23:39,218 --> 00:23:40,820
in about 10 minutes.
367
00:23:40,887 --> 00:23:44,256
Can I trust you to take your
mascot to Room 11 in...
368
00:23:44,323 --> 00:23:45,825
the administration building...
369
00:23:45,892 --> 00:23:49,295
and escort the faculty sponsor
to the amphitheater?
370
00:23:49,361 --> 00:23:51,363
All I do is just lead the goat?
371
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:55,234
And try to keep him from eating
the sponsor's academic robe.
372
00:23:55,301 --> 00:23:56,435
Alright, sure.
373
00:23:56,503 --> 00:23:58,004
-Room 11.
-11.
374
00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:59,672
-Administration building.
-Administration building.
375
00:23:59,739 --> 00:24:00,940
-Better get moving.
-Okay, thank you.
376
00:24:01,007 --> 00:24:02,341
-C'mon. Let's go.
-Don't go.
377
00:24:02,408 --> 00:24:04,010
Well, why not?
378
00:24:04,076 --> 00:24:07,246
Tie this beast to the nearest
tree. Let's get out of here.
379
00:24:07,313 --> 00:24:09,782
You're just jealous because he
picked John instead of you.
380
00:24:09,849 --> 00:24:11,217
Jealous?
381
00:24:11,283 --> 00:24:15,454
It's an honor to be placed
in charge of our class mascot.
382
00:24:16,923 --> 00:24:19,792
You are both so gullible.
383
00:24:19,859 --> 00:24:22,629
You just don't trust anybody,
do you, son?
384
00:24:22,695 --> 00:24:24,430
No, that's the first
rule of survival.
385
00:24:24,497 --> 00:24:26,533
I said I was going
to take this goat...
386
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:28,234
and I'm gonna take this goat.
387
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,402
Bye.
388
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:31,971
I warned you!
389
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,403
What's the matter, none of you
ever seen a goat before?
390
00:25:04,470 --> 00:25:05,805
Here we are.
391
00:25:10,109 --> 00:25:11,243
Oh, no.
392
00:25:18,417 --> 00:25:20,186
Sir.
393
00:25:23,122 --> 00:25:27,694
You've dedicated yourself to
making an impression on me.
394
00:25:29,161 --> 00:25:32,832
I was asked to come here,
Professor Ghote.
395
00:25:34,634 --> 00:25:37,469
Sophomoric humor.
396
00:25:37,536 --> 00:25:40,006
Somebody should do a study.
397
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:45,277
On the other hand,
it's hardly worth it.
398
00:25:45,344 --> 00:25:48,314
Young man, as you can
see my name is...
399
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:50,917
"W" for William, K. Ghote.
400
00:25:50,983 --> 00:25:54,120
Naturally, the campus wits
promptly dubbed me...
401
00:25:54,186 --> 00:25:58,758
"Billy Ghote." An insult to us
both, dear friend.
402
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,128
However, under these
circumstances...
403
00:26:02,194 --> 00:26:06,298
Walton, it would appear
that you are the goat.
404
00:26:15,207 --> 00:26:16,676
Come on, goat.
405
00:26:30,489 --> 00:26:32,725
Thank heaven that's done.
406
00:26:39,899 --> 00:26:42,368
Oh, Livie, you still
on that ironing?
407
00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:44,436
It would be easier
to get things done...
408
00:26:44,503 --> 00:26:47,039
without seven children
interrupting all the time.
409
00:26:47,106 --> 00:26:49,475
Doesn't work that way.
It's too quiet.
410
00:26:49,541 --> 00:26:53,545
-I can't get anything done.
-You know how I used to get...
411
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:55,347
things done when
I missed my kids?
412
00:26:55,414 --> 00:26:56,949
You join in, you see it works.
413
00:26:57,016 --> 00:26:59,118
* Work for the night is coming *
414
00:26:59,185 --> 00:27:01,120
* Work through
the morning hours *
415
00:27:01,187 --> 00:27:03,756
* Work while the dew sparkling *
416
00:27:03,823 --> 00:27:06,558
* Work 'mid springing flowers *
417
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:09,796
Oh, Gran, I can't,
I feel foolish.
418
00:27:09,862 --> 00:27:11,397
Well, I don't.
Let me finish that.
419
00:27:11,463 --> 00:27:15,001
We haven't got all day.
You do something else. Go on.
420
00:27:23,843 --> 00:27:26,245
I'll fix something special
for supper tonight.
421
00:27:26,312 --> 00:27:29,481
-Applesauce cake?
-Well, now, how did you know?
422
00:27:29,548 --> 00:27:32,184
-It's John-Boy's favorite.
-It's John-Boy's favorite.
423
00:27:34,821 --> 00:27:36,956
Welcome to Boatwright
University.
424
00:27:41,694 --> 00:27:45,197
-John Walton. How are you?
-It's good to see you again.
425
00:27:45,264 --> 00:27:47,233
-Good to see you here, finally.
-Thank you.
426
00:27:47,299 --> 00:27:49,736
I never got chance
to thank you in person...
427
00:27:49,802 --> 00:27:52,004
for fixing it
so I could take that exam.
428
00:27:52,071 --> 00:27:55,374
I'm happy that it worked out
the way that it did.
429
00:27:55,441 --> 00:27:57,276
Now, let's see.
430
00:27:59,078 --> 00:28:03,615
I need your certificate
of admissions.
431
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:07,253
-It's in here, isn't it?
-I don't find it.
432
00:28:09,021 --> 00:28:10,222
Oh, boy.
433
00:28:17,463 --> 00:28:20,699
I can't register you
without that certificate.
434
00:28:29,008 --> 00:28:30,309
Sorry, it's not here.
435
00:28:30,376 --> 00:28:32,945
How long do the freshmen have
to register?
436
00:28:33,012 --> 00:28:34,747
Till 4:00 this afternoon.
437
00:28:34,814 --> 00:28:37,316
After that, you'll have
to pay a late penalty.
438
00:28:37,383 --> 00:28:40,352
-$5.
-$5!
439
00:28:40,419 --> 00:28:42,054
Oh, Lord.
440
00:28:44,090 --> 00:28:47,259
I'm sorry. I'll be back.
Thank you.
441
00:28:53,665 --> 00:28:56,702
Something smells all mighty good
over there in the oven.
442
00:28:56,769 --> 00:28:58,771
-You can't have any of it.
-Why not?
443
00:28:58,838 --> 00:29:00,572
-Not till tonight.
-It's applesauce cake.
444
00:29:00,639 --> 00:29:02,408
John-Boy will
appreciate that.
445
00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:03,843
Pa.
446
00:29:03,910 --> 00:29:05,812
Oh, Lord, look down upon us...
447
00:29:05,878 --> 00:29:07,613
and those who are
absent from us.
448
00:29:07,679 --> 00:29:09,648
-Amen.
-Amen.
449
00:29:09,715 --> 00:29:12,284
-I hope he's making out alright.
-Why not?
450
00:29:12,351 --> 00:29:15,421
-He's a Walton, isn't he?
-He is a Walton.
451
00:29:15,487 --> 00:29:18,090
You think that's the answer
to everything.
452
00:29:18,157 --> 00:29:20,960
Well, was for you, wasn't it,
sweetie?
453
00:29:21,027 --> 00:29:23,529
He's gonna be coming up
against a lot of people...
454
00:29:23,595 --> 00:29:25,197
with some mighty strange
notions.
455
00:29:25,264 --> 00:29:27,699
Well, isn't that
what education is all about?
456
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:30,369
Just don't wanna see him
getting hurt, that's all.
457
00:29:30,436 --> 00:29:32,404
John-Boy can take care
of himself, alright.
458
00:29:32,471 --> 00:29:34,006
Just like big John.
459
00:29:34,073 --> 00:29:36,075
If he doesn't know how
to take care...
460
00:29:36,142 --> 00:29:37,910
he's gonna have to learn.
461
00:29:50,222 --> 00:29:51,557
Oh, no.
462
00:29:54,593 --> 00:29:56,062
-Professor Ghote.
-No, no, no, Walton...
463
00:29:56,128 --> 00:29:58,364
I'd like you to stay
well away from me...
464
00:29:58,430 --> 00:30:00,166
until I've gotten
safely in my car.
465
00:30:00,232 --> 00:30:02,268
I can understand
how you must feel about me.
466
00:30:02,334 --> 00:30:04,536
-Wary.
-Sir, my car happens...
467
00:30:04,603 --> 00:30:07,173
to have disappeared.
468
00:30:07,239 --> 00:30:10,809
-And you parked it here?
-Yes, sir.
469
00:30:12,211 --> 00:30:15,514
Well, Walton, I must say,
you have been consistent.
470
00:30:17,183 --> 00:30:20,719
You're not aware
that this is faculty parking?
471
00:30:20,786 --> 00:30:22,088
I'm not aware
of that, sir.
472
00:30:22,154 --> 00:30:24,924
And you didn't bother
to read any of this.
473
00:30:26,492 --> 00:30:30,596
-They're covered up.
-Yes, with banners.
474
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:34,333
Well, that certainly
is an extenuating circumstance.
475
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,368
Where do you think
my car is, sir?
476
00:30:36,435 --> 00:30:39,205
I would guess
that the campus policeman...
477
00:30:39,271 --> 00:30:41,773
who is a model of vigilance
and integrity...
478
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,342
has had it towed
to the garage.
479
00:30:43,409 --> 00:30:46,078
-Where is that?
-Directly behind administration.
480
00:30:46,145 --> 00:30:49,148
-Thank you.
-Walton...
481
00:30:49,215 --> 00:30:51,483
explain to them
about the signs being covered.
482
00:30:51,550 --> 00:30:54,286
Yes, sir, I will.
I'll also tell them I'm new.
483
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:56,355
Walton...
484
00:30:56,422 --> 00:30:59,425
that, I imagine,
will be apparent.
485
00:31:09,701 --> 00:31:11,003
-Hi.
-Hi.
486
00:31:11,070 --> 00:31:13,339
-This is my car, okay?
-That's too bad.
487
00:31:13,405 --> 00:31:16,142
It's gonna set you back some
dough to bail it out.
488
00:31:16,208 --> 00:31:18,244
I didn't realize it was
faculty parking only.
489
00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:20,279
All the signs
were covered up with banners.
490
00:31:20,346 --> 00:31:23,983
-Is that a fact?
-So it wasn't really my fault.
491
00:31:24,050 --> 00:31:26,052
I told the boss when
he hauled it...
492
00:31:26,118 --> 00:31:28,554
the first day he ought
to be lenient but Gib...
493
00:31:28,620 --> 00:31:31,690
he goes after parking violators
like they were public enemies.
494
00:31:31,757 --> 00:31:33,926
Gonna be mighty red-faced
when you tell him.
495
00:31:33,993 --> 00:31:36,028
-Where is he?
-He's gone to lunch.
496
00:31:36,095 --> 00:31:37,863
He'll be back in
an hour or two.
497
00:31:37,930 --> 00:31:41,167
An hour or two! I don't have
time. I've gotta take it now.
498
00:31:41,233 --> 00:31:43,002
I'd really like to help you,
but I..
499
00:31:43,069 --> 00:31:47,106
I mean, I just don't have the
right to let you take the car.
500
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:54,713
Gib's real touchy, and if I lose
this job, I'm out of school.
501
00:31:54,780 --> 00:31:57,183
You understand?
502
00:31:59,851 --> 00:32:01,653
Yeah.
503
00:32:03,089 --> 00:32:04,991
It's okay, thank you.
504
00:32:05,057 --> 00:32:07,459
-Yeah, I'll see you later.
-Bye.
505
00:32:10,396 --> 00:32:13,332
Where in the world were you?
I've looked everywhere for you.
506
00:32:13,399 --> 00:32:15,701
I can't stop to talk because
I've gotta do something.
507
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:18,504
Please, help me. Just look what
they've done to my schedule.
508
00:32:18,570 --> 00:32:21,273
They put me in two classes
at the same time.
509
00:32:21,340 --> 00:32:24,443
Now how can I be in English Lit.
101A in Ryland Hall...
510
00:32:24,510 --> 00:32:26,578
and also in Sociology 101A
in Richmond Hall?
511
00:32:26,645 --> 00:32:29,081
Why don't you ask someone
in the registrar's office?
512
00:32:29,148 --> 00:32:31,383
-There's a huge line.
-How about the faculty advisor?
513
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:33,752
I can't find her. I can't find
anyone who cares.
514
00:32:33,819 --> 00:32:37,289
I'd like to help you but I
can't. I've gotta make a call.
515
00:32:37,356 --> 00:32:39,591
You wouldn't turn your back
on a drowning person.
516
00:32:39,658 --> 00:32:42,561
I'm drowning too, don't grab
onto me or we're both goners.
517
00:32:42,628 --> 00:32:45,231
Ask somebody else to help you.
I can't, I'm sorry.
518
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:47,033
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
519
00:32:51,603 --> 00:32:52,738
Creep!
520
00:32:52,804 --> 00:32:54,206
Thank you.
521
00:32:54,273 --> 00:32:57,676
The operator says 15 cents
for three minutes.
522
00:32:57,743 --> 00:33:01,213
It's not gonna take anything
like three minutes.
523
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,050
Here you go. Thank you.
524
00:33:05,084 --> 00:33:06,585
It's ringing now.
525
00:33:13,225 --> 00:33:16,462
-Godsey's.
-Ike, this is John.
526
00:33:16,528 --> 00:33:19,531
-John, who?
-Me, John.
527
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,734
John-Boy.
528
00:33:22,801 --> 00:33:25,504
Oh, John-Boy, hey, sure is a
surprise to hear from you.
529
00:33:25,571 --> 00:33:28,240
Listen, Ike, I have
to ask you a favor.
530
00:33:28,307 --> 00:33:30,576
I managed to leave
the house today...
531
00:33:30,642 --> 00:33:32,678
without my admission
certificate.
532
00:33:32,744 --> 00:33:34,313
Admission certificate.
533
00:33:34,380 --> 00:33:37,349
Yeah, I can't get registered
without it.
534
00:33:38,150 --> 00:33:40,552
Yeah.
535
00:33:40,619 --> 00:33:42,254
I see.
536
00:33:43,455 --> 00:33:46,292
But you're gonna get
your car back?
537
00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:49,561
Okay, could you have my daddy
drive it over here...
538
00:33:49,628 --> 00:33:53,031
-in the truck this afternoon?
-Okay, I'll take care of it.
539
00:34:25,431 --> 00:34:27,566
Students, before we begin
this afternoon's session...
540
00:34:27,633 --> 00:34:30,169
I'd like you to meet
Andrew Clark.
541
00:34:30,236 --> 00:34:33,705
Andrew's family just moved here
from Tennessee...
542
00:34:33,772 --> 00:34:37,276
and I'm sure that you're all
gonna make him feel at home.
543
00:34:37,343 --> 00:34:39,645
Is there anything
you'd like to say, Andrew?
544
00:34:39,711 --> 00:34:41,847
-Hi.
-Hi.
545
00:34:45,117 --> 00:34:46,652
Jason.
546
00:34:46,718 --> 00:34:48,654
Well, I'd just like
to say that...
547
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:50,956
to tell Andrew that he's more
than welcome here...
548
00:34:51,022 --> 00:34:53,024
and I'm speaking for all of us.
549
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:55,327
Thanks.
550
00:34:55,394 --> 00:34:58,330
What does he think he's doing,
speaking for all of us?
551
00:35:08,874 --> 00:35:10,309
I wanna see it again.
552
00:35:13,245 --> 00:35:14,880
Excuse me.
553
00:35:17,916 --> 00:35:19,818
Walton, how's it going?
554
00:35:19,885 --> 00:35:22,621
I reckon I've seen better days
on the mountain.
555
00:35:22,688 --> 00:35:25,424
-You seen Polly Thompson?
-No, not since lunch.
556
00:35:25,491 --> 00:35:28,594
With that girl,
hysteria is a way of life.
557
00:35:28,660 --> 00:35:30,696
You seem to be doing alright.
558
00:35:30,762 --> 00:35:32,798
It's one of my specialties,
analyzing people.
559
00:35:32,864 --> 00:35:34,900
I decide what it is
they want from me...
560
00:35:34,966 --> 00:35:37,903
and then fool them into thinking
that they're getting it.
561
00:35:37,969 --> 00:35:40,939
-Sounds mighty complicated.
-Not really.
562
00:35:41,006 --> 00:35:43,842
Take these frosh-baiting
sophomores, for instance.
563
00:35:43,909 --> 00:35:46,077
Now, they're just looking for
proof that they're superior.
564
00:35:46,144 --> 00:35:47,679
The only way they're
gonna find...
565
00:35:47,746 --> 00:35:50,849
that is with greenies who
volunteer to be humiliated.
566
00:35:50,916 --> 00:35:52,951
Like me.
567
00:35:53,018 --> 00:35:55,487
Well, you give them
too much of a target.
568
00:35:55,554 --> 00:35:58,290
Where you're from, the way
you dress, the way you talk.
569
00:35:58,357 --> 00:36:00,226
The way I talk?
570
00:36:00,292 --> 00:36:04,363
"I reckon I've seen better days
on the mountain."
571
00:36:04,430 --> 00:36:06,432
Well, that's me.
That's the way I am.
572
00:36:06,498 --> 00:36:08,467
-No, anybody can change.
-Maybe.
573
00:36:08,534 --> 00:36:10,168
Look it.
574
00:36:10,236 --> 00:36:14,273
For a start, take off the coat
and the vest and that tie.
575
00:36:14,340 --> 00:36:17,376
And if anybody asks you where
you're from, you say Richmond.
576
00:36:17,443 --> 00:36:19,845
Richmond! I don't look like
I'm from Richmond.
577
00:36:19,911 --> 00:36:21,880
Obviously, I don't talk
like I'm from Richmond.
578
00:36:21,947 --> 00:36:25,251
-Okay, okay. Say Charleston.
-No, no, no, no.
579
00:36:25,317 --> 00:36:27,419
Alright, "not very far from
here."
580
00:36:27,486 --> 00:36:29,120
But don't say,
"Walton's Mountain."
581
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:30,789
Look, Mike, I appreciate
your help--
582
00:36:30,856 --> 00:36:34,960
No, listen, it's last names.
I'm West and you're Walton.
583
00:36:36,562 --> 00:36:38,129
There's gotta be
some other way.
584
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:41,767
No, listen, they're looking
for guys who are different.
585
00:36:41,833 --> 00:36:45,404
For a while,
don't let them see that you are.
586
00:36:47,373 --> 00:36:49,975
I gotta register.
587
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:52,978
John-Boy say why he didn't come
back and get the paper?
588
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:56,147
He parked his car in the wrong
place and they towed it away.
589
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:57,649
Towed it away?
590
00:36:57,716 --> 00:37:00,252
But there's no problem.
He's gonna get it back later on.
591
00:37:00,319 --> 00:37:03,389
Seems to me Livie's having a
devil of a time locating it.
592
00:37:03,455 --> 00:37:04,990
Where you going?
593
00:37:05,056 --> 00:37:07,726
Well, I thought I'd just have
a look-see for myself.
594
00:37:07,793 --> 00:37:10,896
Now, just sit down.
You'll just get in Livie's way.
595
00:37:10,962 --> 00:37:12,831
I have still got eyes
like a hawk.
596
00:37:12,898 --> 00:37:15,301
Well, then settle back
on your perch.
597
00:37:15,367 --> 00:37:19,170
Livie's quite capable
of finding what she's..
598
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:20,739
Was almost ready to give up.
599
00:37:20,806 --> 00:37:22,708
-Where was it?
-In his writing tablet.
600
00:37:22,774 --> 00:37:25,377
-4:00's the deadline, John.
-I'm on my way.
601
00:37:45,864 --> 00:37:47,899
Oh, Walton...
602
00:37:49,401 --> 00:37:52,237
haven't we met somewhere before?
603
00:37:52,304 --> 00:37:54,172
It's possible.
604
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,942
Did you say you were from
Roanoke?
605
00:37:57,008 --> 00:37:59,445
No, no. I don't live very far
from here.
606
00:37:59,511 --> 00:38:02,381
I know the Waltons
from Newport News.
607
00:38:02,448 --> 00:38:04,650
It's not us. No.
608
00:38:05,817 --> 00:38:08,219
Hi, Ich.
609
00:38:08,286 --> 00:38:09,655
Hey, what's your hurry, Ich?
610
00:38:09,721 --> 00:38:12,358
Hey, Ich, don't trip over
those clodhoppers!
611
00:38:13,759 --> 00:38:16,828
Hey, Ichabod, get a mule!
612
00:38:16,895 --> 00:38:18,964
Do you believe he's
the runt of the family?
613
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:21,833
I saw an old hillbilly one time,
up near Afton...
614
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:23,635
nearly 8 feet tall.
615
00:38:23,702 --> 00:38:27,573
-Hi, boys.
-Hi, West.
616
00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:32,043
-You see what I see?
-I don't believe it.
617
00:38:32,110 --> 00:38:34,279
Looks like it's right
out of a museum.
618
00:38:34,346 --> 00:38:36,247
Or a junkyard.
619
00:38:36,314 --> 00:38:38,850
Hey, Walton...
620
00:38:38,917 --> 00:38:39,918
look what's driving it.
621
00:38:39,985 --> 00:38:42,087
Hey, maybe it's
Ichabod's old man.
622
00:38:42,153 --> 00:38:45,056
Will you gentlemen excuse me?
It's my father.
623
00:38:48,527 --> 00:38:50,596
-Still got time to register?
-Thanks to you.
624
00:38:50,662 --> 00:38:52,964
I'm sorry for being
such an absent-minded wonder.
625
00:38:53,031 --> 00:38:55,801
With all that excitement,
could forget anything.
626
00:38:55,867 --> 00:38:58,069
This morning I thought I had
the world by the tail...
627
00:38:58,136 --> 00:38:59,705
it's been wagging me ever since.
628
00:38:59,771 --> 00:39:01,607
I heard somewhere that education
is mostly finding out...
629
00:39:01,673 --> 00:39:03,074
how little we know.
630
00:39:03,141 --> 00:39:06,745
Well, I seem to be off
to a right good start.
631
00:39:06,812 --> 00:39:09,347
You got yourself
some new friends?
632
00:39:09,415 --> 00:39:11,750
No friends of mine.
633
00:39:15,421 --> 00:39:18,289
You better get
yourself signed up.
634
00:39:18,356 --> 00:39:20,091
Daddy.
635
00:39:20,158 --> 00:39:21,693
When I left the house
this morning...
636
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,929
I thought I was gonna be
a different man.
637
00:39:23,995 --> 00:39:27,999
-Just like that, huh?
-Same old country boy.
638
00:39:28,066 --> 00:39:31,670
-Can't seem to get rid of him.
-Can't seem to.
639
00:39:31,737 --> 00:39:36,041
Son, you're gonna be alright.
640
00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:37,476
Thank you.
641
00:39:41,580 --> 00:39:44,483
I'll see you tonight.
642
00:39:46,585 --> 00:39:48,186
-Tennessee, huh?
-Yeah.
643
00:39:48,253 --> 00:39:51,790
-Must be a beautiful place.
-It's really nice down there.
644
00:39:51,857 --> 00:39:55,193
Well, Andrew, don't worry. After
a while, you'll make friends...
645
00:39:55,260 --> 00:39:57,563
get used to being here,
and you'll feel fine then.
646
00:39:57,629 --> 00:39:59,297
I hope so. Thanks a lot.
647
00:39:59,364 --> 00:40:01,399
-Bye-bye.
-Bye-bye.
648
00:40:05,804 --> 00:40:07,172
Ben.
649
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,241
Why don't you go talk
to the new boy?
650
00:40:10,308 --> 00:40:13,044
-Try to make him feel welcome?
-Why don't you?
651
00:40:13,111 --> 00:40:16,848
-I've already spoken to him.
-Go speak to him again.
652
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:18,550
Oh, shoot.
653
00:40:18,617 --> 00:40:21,520
Erin, as soon as class is out...
654
00:40:21,587 --> 00:40:22,788
you collect Jim-Bob
and Elizabeth...
655
00:40:22,854 --> 00:40:25,123
so we can start home
right away.
656
00:40:25,190 --> 00:40:27,593
-Mary Ellen--
-Don't give me any orders.
657
00:40:27,659 --> 00:40:29,495
-Listen here, Mary--
-I have been listening...
658
00:40:29,561 --> 00:40:31,129
and watching you all day,
Jason...
659
00:40:31,196 --> 00:40:34,466
it isn't Andrew Clark,
who's the stranger, it's you.
660
00:40:34,533 --> 00:40:35,967
Come on, Erin.
661
00:41:04,295 --> 00:41:07,165
Guess John-Boy went off
to Boatwright this morning.
662
00:41:07,232 --> 00:41:08,867
Yes, ma'am.
663
00:41:08,934 --> 00:41:11,402
I'm sure he's gonna
make the most of it.
664
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:12,804
John-Boy does that.
665
00:41:16,842 --> 00:41:19,811
Like my older sister.
666
00:41:19,878 --> 00:41:21,813
My, but she cast
a long shadow...
667
00:41:24,182 --> 00:41:27,653
and how I tried
to be exactly like her.
668
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,956
-You did?
-Oh, yes.
669
00:41:31,022 --> 00:41:34,259
I made myself
and everybody else miserable.
670
00:41:34,325 --> 00:41:37,996
Until I faced up to the simple
fact that I wasn't like her.
671
00:41:38,063 --> 00:41:40,465
Never could have been,
and I never should have...
672
00:41:40,532 --> 00:41:41,867
wasted a minute trying to be.
673
00:41:43,434 --> 00:41:47,839
It was as foolish as you try
to be exactly like John-Boy.
674
00:41:49,841 --> 00:41:53,078
-I never could.
-Well, thank goodness.
675
00:41:53,144 --> 00:41:57,783
If you could make yourself into
a carbon copy of John-Boy...
676
00:41:57,849 --> 00:42:01,920
it would only mean that we'd
lost Jason...
677
00:42:01,987 --> 00:42:04,556
and that's a very special
person...
678
00:42:04,623 --> 00:42:06,625
and in his own way.
679
00:42:14,099 --> 00:42:17,202
-Give John-Boy my best.
-I surely will, Miss Hunter.
680
00:42:25,711 --> 00:42:27,012
There we are.
681
00:42:27,078 --> 00:42:29,047
-Thank you.
-Now everything's in order.
682
00:42:29,114 --> 00:42:32,751
-Thank you very much.
-And 10 minutes to spare.
683
00:42:32,818 --> 00:42:35,654
I hope I'm not gonna be this
much trouble to you...
684
00:42:35,721 --> 00:42:37,656
for the next four years.
685
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,395
Polly.
686
00:42:44,462 --> 00:42:47,498
I'm really sorry about the way
I talked to you this afternoon.
687
00:42:47,565 --> 00:42:50,468
-I just had things on my mind.
-I don't blame you.
688
00:42:50,535 --> 00:42:53,271
This morning I was so full of
talk about being...
689
00:42:53,338 --> 00:42:55,306
self-sufficient, independent.
690
00:42:55,373 --> 00:42:58,376
I found out I'm just
a scared little kid...
691
00:42:58,443 --> 00:43:01,179
not even ready for kindergarten,
much less college.
692
00:43:01,246 --> 00:43:03,782
One thing I found out
is that every freshman...
693
00:43:03,849 --> 00:43:06,151
-is as scared as we are.
-They don't look it.
694
00:43:06,217 --> 00:43:08,920
Some of them do a better job
of hiding it.
695
00:43:08,987 --> 00:43:11,857
Did you get your schedule
fixed up?
696
00:43:11,923 --> 00:43:14,993
-Do you really want to help me?
-Well, sure.
697
00:43:15,060 --> 00:43:18,730
You might just be stuck with me
for the next four years.
698
00:43:18,797 --> 00:43:21,066
Well, I'll risk it. Come on.
699
00:43:34,012 --> 00:43:36,281
-Hi, Walton, Thompson.
-Hello.
700
00:43:36,347 --> 00:43:38,083
I see you're all
dressed up again.
701
00:43:38,149 --> 00:43:39,885
I can't seem
to follow your advice.
702
00:43:39,951 --> 00:43:41,887
I hope we can still be friends.
703
00:43:41,953 --> 00:43:43,922
If you want to play
the bleeding martyr...
704
00:43:43,989 --> 00:43:47,125
just count on me for iodine
and bandages.
705
00:43:47,192 --> 00:43:48,860
Freshmen.
706
00:43:50,561 --> 00:43:53,331
Off the bridge.
707
00:43:53,398 --> 00:43:54,966
Yes, sir.
708
00:44:08,579 --> 00:44:10,448
-May we cross now?
-"Sir."
709
00:44:10,515 --> 00:44:12,851
-Sir?
-No, you can't.
710
00:44:12,918 --> 00:44:17,055
-Why not, sir?
-Well, because you're freshmen.
711
00:44:17,122 --> 00:44:20,091
Yes, we apologize for that,
but it is only temporary...
712
00:44:20,158 --> 00:44:23,061
and I'm sure you understand.
After all, only last year...
713
00:44:23,128 --> 00:44:26,698
you were just as big
a fool as any of us.
714
00:44:26,765 --> 00:44:29,701
Excuse us, please.
715
00:44:29,768 --> 00:44:31,302
Looks like we got
a hotshot here.
716
00:44:31,369 --> 00:44:33,872
If you try to put me
in that dirty water...
717
00:44:33,939 --> 00:44:35,907
in the only good suit
I've ever owned...
718
00:44:35,974 --> 00:44:37,709
I'm gonna take you
in with me.
719
00:44:37,776 --> 00:44:39,444
Let's get him!
720
00:44:41,312 --> 00:44:45,817
Help! Freshmen. Help!
Freshmen!
721
00:44:45,884 --> 00:44:48,787
Help! Come on, freshmen, help!
722
00:44:52,357 --> 00:44:54,993
Help! No!
723
00:44:56,928 --> 00:44:59,865
-Gentlemen, Paxton, Hobgood.
-Hold it.
724
00:45:02,567 --> 00:45:04,202
Walton?
725
00:45:04,269 --> 00:45:05,403
Yes, sir.
726
00:45:09,274 --> 00:45:12,343
Walton, it occurs to me
that I'd like a word with you.
727
00:45:14,512 --> 00:45:18,083
Gentlemen, would you kindly
clear the bridge?
728
00:45:26,524 --> 00:45:29,460
Your first name, by any chance,
wouldn't be Horatio, would it?
729
00:45:29,527 --> 00:45:31,096
No, sir. John.
730
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,002
What did you want
to say to me?
731
00:45:37,068 --> 00:45:40,671
Don't you think you've
caused enough damage...
732
00:45:40,738 --> 00:45:43,008
for your first day?
733
00:45:43,074 --> 00:45:47,178
-Why don't you go home now?
-Thank you.
734
00:45:47,245 --> 00:45:49,981
-Thank you.
-Angelique.
735
00:46:19,210 --> 00:46:20,879
So what happened
to that goat?
736
00:46:20,946 --> 00:46:22,981
I never saw it
but I had to wait...
737
00:46:23,048 --> 00:46:25,683
a half-hour
to get my car back.
738
00:46:25,750 --> 00:46:27,718
Wearing funny hats,
throwing people into lakes...
739
00:46:27,785 --> 00:46:29,554
college sounds more like
kid stuff to me.
740
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:31,122
Hooligans!
741
00:46:31,189 --> 00:46:33,258
I recollect one of your
grandmas rowdy friends...
742
00:46:33,324 --> 00:46:36,962
wanted to dunk me in the river
with all my clothes on.
743
00:46:37,028 --> 00:46:39,297
What they had in mind
was baptizing you.
744
00:46:39,364 --> 00:46:41,799
When I go for a swim,
I prefer skinny-dipping!
745
00:46:41,867 --> 00:46:43,001
Oh, Zeb!
746
00:46:43,068 --> 00:46:44,535
We missed you at school,
John-Boy.
747
00:46:44,602 --> 00:46:46,404
Miss Hunter said
to give you her best.
748
00:46:46,471 --> 00:46:50,541
She must have crossed through my
mind a thousand times today.
749
00:46:50,608 --> 00:46:52,110
She sure taught me something.
750
00:46:52,177 --> 00:46:53,945
I suppose you were bored,
Mary Ellen?
751
00:46:54,012 --> 00:46:56,347
Well, not as much
as I expected to be.
752
00:46:56,414 --> 00:46:59,918
-Interesting new subject?
-More like interesting new boy.
753
00:46:59,985 --> 00:47:02,653
Andrew Clark.
Mary Ellen's crazy about him.
754
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:03,989
I am not.
755
00:47:04,055 --> 00:47:05,290
Then how come you kept
practicing your name...
756
00:47:05,356 --> 00:47:07,993
-Mary Ellen Clark?
-Oh, this family.
757
00:47:08,059 --> 00:47:10,428
Nothing quite like it,
is there, huh?
758
00:47:10,495 --> 00:47:11,963
Now leave that!
759
00:47:15,333 --> 00:47:18,269
If anybody touches that cake,
I want you to hog-tie them.
760
00:47:18,336 --> 00:47:20,972
Alright, let him eat.
Let him eat, now. Let him eat.
761
00:47:25,710 --> 00:47:28,746
There have been many other
first days in my life...
762
00:47:28,813 --> 00:47:31,082
since that long-ago September.
763
00:47:31,149 --> 00:47:32,884
But I have been sustained
through them...
764
00:47:32,951 --> 00:47:35,220
all by two certainties.
765
00:47:35,286 --> 00:47:39,224
I am who I am,
with whatever shortcomings.
766
00:47:39,290 --> 00:47:42,593
And family ties may lengthen
to accommodate distance...
767
00:47:42,660 --> 00:47:44,429
but they are never broken.
768
00:47:50,068 --> 00:47:51,903
-John-Boy?
-Yes, Elizabeth?
769
00:47:51,970 --> 00:47:53,939
Did they really give
you a big brother?
770
00:47:54,005 --> 00:47:56,641
-They did.
-Was he nice?
771
00:47:56,707 --> 00:47:59,844
He was very busy. He didn't pay
too much attention to me.
772
00:47:59,911 --> 00:48:02,580
That's the way most
big brothers are.
773
00:48:02,647 --> 00:48:05,583
-I'll try to remember that.
-But they're still nice to have.
774
00:48:05,650 --> 00:48:09,387
-Goodnight, Elizabeth.
-Goodnight, John-Boy.
775
00:48:09,437 --> 00:48:13,987
