1
00:01:19,313 --> 00:01:22,616
While we were walking the green
meadows of Walton's Mountain,
2
00:01:22,683 --> 00:01:27,020
daring fliers were conquering
the beckoning blue skies.
3
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:29,123
We had come to know an airmail
pilot
4
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:32,426
who would fly slightly off
course just to say hello to us
5
00:01:32,493 --> 00:01:34,728
and especially to Jim-Bob.
6
00:01:34,795 --> 00:01:37,931
Jim-Bob's head was in the
clouds back in those days,
7
00:01:37,998 --> 00:01:41,169
dreaming of machines
which he hoped one day to fly.
8
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,941
-See you all later.
-Bye-bye.
9
00:01:48,008 --> 00:01:49,477
-Have a nice day.
-Bye-bye.
10
00:01:49,543 --> 00:01:52,313
-Wish I could go with you.
-Jim-Bob, when I get home,
11
00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:54,848
I'll tell you everything you
want to know about wing-walkers.
12
00:01:54,915 --> 00:01:58,419
Besides, you'll be able to see
them when they're at the fair.
13
00:01:58,486 --> 00:02:00,087
Hey, Grandma, Grandpa!
14
00:02:00,154 --> 00:02:02,556
-How many eggs you got?
-Two dozen.
15
00:02:02,623 --> 00:02:04,592
Have a good day.
16
00:02:04,658 --> 00:02:08,262
Have a good day.
17
00:02:08,329 --> 00:02:11,399
Maude Gormley, what are you
doing way over here?
18
00:02:11,465 --> 00:02:14,935
It looks like the goat's taking
Maude out for a stroll.
19
00:02:15,002 --> 00:02:19,039
Well, good morning, Esther.
Good morning, Zeb.
20
00:02:19,106 --> 00:02:20,374
Morning.
21
00:02:20,441 --> 00:02:22,710
-You all know Myrtle.
-Morning, Myrtle.
22
00:02:22,776 --> 00:02:23,844
-Hello, Myrtle.
-Hi.
23
00:02:23,911 --> 00:02:26,980
I came here this morning for a
purpose.
24
00:02:27,047 --> 00:02:28,582
It's Myrtle.
25
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:32,119
See, seems like the older I get,
the more mischief she gets into.
26
00:02:32,186 --> 00:02:33,721
She's got high-grade
intelligence,
27
00:02:33,787 --> 00:02:36,790
but got so she's too much
for me to manage.
28
00:02:36,857 --> 00:02:40,093
You might say that Myrtle's got
your goat, huh?
29
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,063
You've got my goat's more like
it.
30
00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:45,433
I'm going to give Myrtle to you
all,
31
00:02:45,499 --> 00:02:48,802
knowing you'll treat her
with love and kindness.
32
00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:51,605
Don't touch her horns.
She's sensitive there.
33
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:56,043
Maude, with a bank loan
hanging over the mill
34
00:02:56,109 --> 00:02:58,212
and 11 mouths to feed,
35
00:02:58,279 --> 00:03:01,515
a goat with a bottomless pit
is just what we don't need.
36
00:03:01,582 --> 00:03:03,484
-Oh, Grandma. Look at her.
-Oh, Grandma.
37
00:03:03,551 --> 00:03:06,487
-I'll pull grass for her.
-Well, I'll milk her, Grandma.
38
00:03:06,554 --> 00:03:10,090
Well, Esther, Myrtle will more
than pay for her keep
39
00:03:10,157 --> 00:03:12,226
with the milk she gives.
40
00:03:15,796 --> 00:03:20,067
Well, I have heard them called
the poor man's cow.
41
00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:24,972
Myrtle lets down the richest
milk in the Old Dominion.
42
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:26,840
We got a goat.
43
00:03:30,578 --> 00:03:35,249
Well, I guess the sooner me
and Myrtle part, the better.
44
00:03:35,316 --> 00:03:38,319
She favors alfalfa grass.
45
00:03:38,386 --> 00:03:39,820
Well, thank you, Maude.
46
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:41,855
We'll take good care of her,
don't worry.
47
00:03:41,922 --> 00:03:44,358
You come and see her
anytime you want to.
48
00:03:44,425 --> 00:03:47,194
You know where she is
if you ever want her back.
49
00:03:47,261 --> 00:03:48,829
You treat her with love and
kindness
50
00:03:48,896 --> 00:03:51,565
'cause that's the way I grew
her.
51
00:03:51,632 --> 00:03:54,402
Alright, children, you go on to
school or you'll be late.
52
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:56,637
Go on. Myrtle will be here
when you return.
53
00:03:56,704 --> 00:03:58,939
-You can play with her anytime.
-Play with her?
54
00:03:59,006 --> 00:04:01,375
She's not a plaything.
She's a farm animal.
55
00:04:03,511 --> 00:04:06,213
Grandma, Myrtle wants to follow
me like Mary's little lamb.
56
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,182
-Yes, you go on. Go on.
-What're you doing with her?
57
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:12,853
I'm going to tie her up so she
doesn't get near that garden.
58
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:13,921
-Grandma!
-What?
59
00:04:13,987 --> 00:04:16,424
Just go to school. Go to school.
60
00:04:21,295 --> 00:04:23,464
There.
61
00:04:23,531 --> 00:04:25,766
I think she's telling you what
for, Esther.
62
00:05:21,889 --> 00:05:24,458
You gotta have a lot of guts to
do that.
63
00:05:24,525 --> 00:05:26,293
Either that or you gotta be
crazy.
64
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,294
Right.
65
00:05:27,361 --> 00:05:29,497
-Study hard.
-I will.
66
00:06:25,152 --> 00:06:26,487
-Rex Barker?
-Yeah.
67
00:06:26,554 --> 00:06:28,589
I'm John Walton, Jr.,
Jefferson County Times.
68
00:06:28,656 --> 00:06:31,692
I've been assigned to do a story
on you and your wing-walker.
69
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:34,728
John. We need all the ballyhoo
we can get.
70
00:06:34,795 --> 00:06:36,597
Everybody's gonna come out to
see you.
71
00:06:36,664 --> 00:06:38,899
I was in Westham,
and they were all watching.
72
00:06:38,966 --> 00:06:42,069
You know, come-on flights before
a fair do help at the gate.
73
00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:44,371
And I picked up
a few passengers who wanna
74
00:06:44,438 --> 00:06:46,173
go up just for the thrill.
75
00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:50,243
Well, that seemed like a pretty
smooth landing you just made.
76
00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:52,480
Greased her in pretty good.
77
00:06:52,546 --> 00:06:55,549
Better than a cornfield or a cow
pasture.
78
00:06:55,616 --> 00:06:58,819
Of course, they aren't always
that smooth.
79
00:06:58,886 --> 00:07:00,688
Oh, is that where you got that?
80
00:07:00,754 --> 00:07:04,024
Yeah, I was touching my wheels
down and taking off again
81
00:07:04,091 --> 00:07:08,428
and I kissed the ground a little
hard,
82
00:07:08,496 --> 00:07:11,098
got a dashboard right in the
eye.
83
00:07:11,164 --> 00:07:17,070
But I'm not your story.
John Walton, writer.
84
00:07:17,137 --> 00:07:20,508
Death Defying Bobby Strom.
85
00:07:20,574 --> 00:07:24,244
Oh. Well, I didn't know that.
It's...
86
00:07:24,311 --> 00:07:26,013
What a pleasure.
87
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:28,782
-That's really something.
-What's really something?
88
00:07:28,849 --> 00:07:31,418
Well, I mean, you're a girl...
A woman.
89
00:07:31,485 --> 00:07:33,654
Oh, good for you.
90
00:07:33,721 --> 00:07:36,524
Well, I mean, it's just that I
never expected...
91
00:07:36,590 --> 00:07:39,960
I never heard
of a woman wing-walker before.
92
00:07:40,027 --> 00:07:41,995
Are you an authority on
wing-walkers?
93
00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:46,166
No. No, I'm here assigned
from the Jefferson County Times
94
00:07:46,233 --> 00:07:48,335
to do a story on you.
95
00:07:48,401 --> 00:07:52,205
Rex, I think I'll drive on into
town and try to find a hotel.
96
00:07:52,272 --> 00:07:55,242
Good luck.
97
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:58,011
Could I ask you a few questions?
98
00:07:58,078 --> 00:08:00,948
I think you better let her speak
for herself.
99
00:08:01,014 --> 00:08:03,884
-Okay, well, nice to meet you.
-Okay.
100
00:08:07,187 --> 00:08:11,091
Miss Strom. Miss Strom. I didn't
mean to be rude back there.
101
00:08:11,158 --> 00:08:15,062
It's just that it was such a
surprise.
102
00:08:15,128 --> 00:08:18,198
Could I suggest something to
you?
103
00:08:18,265 --> 00:08:20,668
Suggest.
104
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:25,238
Well, the next time you're up
there
105
00:08:25,305 --> 00:08:27,675
on one of your come-on flights
106
00:08:27,741 --> 00:08:31,078
and you're walking on the wing,
why don't you maybe just
107
00:08:31,144 --> 00:08:33,814
take off your aviator's cap
and let your hair fly?
108
00:08:33,881 --> 00:08:36,283
It'd be a thrill for people to
know it's a woman up there.
109
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:39,787
You'd attract a lot more people
to the fair and,
110
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:42,556
well, I know it would attract
me.
111
00:08:42,623 --> 00:08:45,826
I like your idea. Any more?
112
00:08:45,893 --> 00:08:47,995
I'm a student
at the university in Westham,
113
00:08:48,061 --> 00:08:51,498
I could take you into town
and find you a place to stay.
114
00:08:51,565 --> 00:08:53,901
Oh, no, thanks. I'll take my
chances.
115
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:57,037
One downtown hotel is like any
other.
116
00:08:57,104 --> 00:08:58,939
Sure. I know.
117
00:09:01,308 --> 00:09:03,577
-Goodbye.
-Bye.
118
00:09:05,846 --> 00:09:07,915
You know, Miss Strom.
119
00:09:07,981 --> 00:09:10,183
If you really feel that way
about downtown hotels,
120
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:13,086
you could always come out
and stay with us in the country.
121
00:09:13,153 --> 00:09:15,923
It'd certainly help me with the
story to have you nearby.
122
00:09:15,989 --> 00:09:18,992
Your wife wouldn't object?
123
00:09:19,059 --> 00:09:23,296
I don't have a wife.
I just have a family.
124
00:09:23,363 --> 00:09:27,267
Of brothers and sisters and my
mom and my daddy, you know.
125
00:09:27,334 --> 00:09:31,571
We have a little house
next to the main house.
126
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,475
Well, I guess you could call it
a guesthouse. It's very modest.
127
00:09:35,542 --> 00:09:37,978
I wouldn't expect anything
grand.
128
00:09:38,045 --> 00:09:42,750
Where is this little guesthouse
with family?
129
00:09:42,816 --> 00:09:45,185
About 26 miles from here,
Walton's Mountain.
130
00:09:48,488 --> 00:09:51,091
You'd have a good time.
131
00:09:51,158 --> 00:09:52,926
You can always speak
to my brother, Jim-Bob.
132
00:09:52,993 --> 00:09:55,763
He's my younger brother.
He loves aviation.
133
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:57,765
Or else you could just relax.
134
00:09:57,831 --> 00:10:00,400
It's beautiful countryside and
quiet.
135
00:10:00,467 --> 00:10:02,235
You could just take it easy.
136
00:10:02,302 --> 00:10:04,071
I could get my story.
137
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,047
Well, this is crazy, but I think
I would rather
138
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:17,317
be staring at a mountain than
the walls of a seedy hotel.
139
00:10:17,384 --> 00:10:19,319
Okay.
140
00:10:19,386 --> 00:10:21,321
Well, great.
141
00:10:21,388 --> 00:10:24,624
I'll just get my bags, okay?
142
00:10:24,692 --> 00:10:28,328
Oh, I'll get them. Is this...
Just this one right here? Okay.
143
00:10:30,864 --> 00:10:33,000
That's great.
144
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:36,670
That's my car right over there,
the tan one.
145
00:10:36,737 --> 00:10:38,872
Okay.
146
00:10:40,407 --> 00:10:43,877
I'll tell you what. I can take a
dollar off for the three of you,
147
00:10:43,944 --> 00:10:47,647
but five bucks
is really my rock-bottom price.
148
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:50,217
Sorry.
149
00:10:53,754 --> 00:10:56,156
-See you tomorrow, Rex.
-Okay.
150
00:10:59,292 --> 00:11:02,529
Miss Strom is going to come home
to stay with my family.
151
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:05,833
You're welcome to come, too,
if you don't mind the hayloft.
152
00:11:05,899 --> 00:11:09,369
Well, thanks a lot, John.
I appreciate it, but...
153
00:11:09,436 --> 00:11:11,071
Even though we are a stunt team,
154
00:11:11,138 --> 00:11:14,207
when it comes to time off
we go our separate ways.
155
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:17,244
Her choice, not mine.
156
00:11:18,611 --> 00:11:20,347
Well, pleasure to meet you.
157
00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:21,982
-Sure.
-Thank you.
158
00:11:22,049 --> 00:11:23,283
Okay.
159
00:11:35,562 --> 00:11:37,030
Well.
160
00:11:37,097 --> 00:11:39,132
I think you're really gonna like
my family.
161
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:42,302
Wait a minute. Your door isn't
closed yet. Sorry.
162
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:58,451
I got a professor in college,
163
00:11:58,518 --> 00:12:01,454
and he talks about what he calls
irresistible forces.
164
00:12:01,521 --> 00:12:04,591
Things that have to happen
in order to reshape the world.
165
00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:06,359
Like the opening up of the
Orient
166
00:12:06,426 --> 00:12:09,229
and the invention
of electricity and airplanes.
167
00:12:09,296 --> 00:12:11,331
Well, like that China Clipper.
Can you believe that?
168
00:12:11,398 --> 00:12:14,601
That's a boat that flies
from California to Hawaii
169
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:15,903
and then straight on to China.
170
00:12:15,969 --> 00:12:18,271
You must feel great being a part
of that thing.
171
00:12:18,338 --> 00:12:20,307
Blazing trails
along with the rest of them.
172
00:12:20,373 --> 00:12:21,341
Hogwash.
173
00:12:21,408 --> 00:12:22,910
A wing-walker just gives the
public
174
00:12:22,976 --> 00:12:25,078
what it craves, ever-greater
thrills.
175
00:12:25,145 --> 00:12:26,780
Well, what made you become
a wing-walker?
176
00:12:26,847 --> 00:12:28,581
I'm drawn to high places.
177
00:12:28,648 --> 00:12:30,517
No, I mean, why didn't you just
become
178
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:34,154
a pilot like Amelia Earhart?
If I'm gonna write this story,
179
00:12:34,221 --> 00:12:36,723
I wanna know
why you take chances like that.
180
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:39,526
If that's the kind of story you
wanna write.
181
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:43,663
Last year, there were
over 250 barnstorming accidents.
182
00:12:43,730 --> 00:12:47,734
Some 80 killed, over 150
injured.
183
00:12:47,801 --> 00:12:50,737
Wings do collapse, fabric tears
loose,
184
00:12:50,804 --> 00:12:53,240
engines rip away coming out of a
dive,
185
00:12:53,306 --> 00:12:55,508
a wing-walker or two is blown
off
186
00:12:55,575 --> 00:12:58,445
when the safety harness breaks.
187
00:12:58,511 --> 00:13:00,747
-Does that help your story?
-No. You don't understand.
188
00:13:00,814 --> 00:13:02,349
That's not what I'm talking
about.
189
00:13:02,415 --> 00:13:05,385
I wanna know what makes you
take the chances you take.
190
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:07,220
When you have skill, it isn't
chance.
191
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:08,688
Come on. Every time
you walk out there,
192
00:13:08,755 --> 00:13:11,058
you're taking your life in your
hands.
193
00:13:11,124 --> 00:13:13,360
I know where I walk.
194
00:13:16,229 --> 00:13:17,730
-Got one.
-Yeah.
195
00:13:17,797 --> 00:13:21,001
Grandpa, how many flies did
the brave little tailor
196
00:13:21,068 --> 00:13:22,402
kill with one blow?
197
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:24,437
Well, now, according to the
Brothers Grimm,
198
00:13:24,504 --> 00:13:26,439
they were seven in all.
199
00:13:26,506 --> 00:13:28,508
Well, I killed one in five
blows.
200
00:13:28,575 --> 00:13:30,110
Yes.
201
00:13:30,177 --> 00:13:33,013
You know, I figure if I can kill
all the flies outside,
202
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,183
there won't be any
for Myrtle to draw inside.
203
00:13:36,249 --> 00:13:38,485
Well, Myrtle, she likes company.
204
00:13:38,551 --> 00:13:40,720
Just look at her. Myrtle.
205
00:13:40,787 --> 00:13:42,222
Ben.
206
00:13:42,289 --> 00:13:44,057
Now, that goat's drawing flies
from miles around.
207
00:13:44,124 --> 00:13:46,059
You go tie her to that tree.
208
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:48,661
Grandma, Maude Gormley
even let Myrtle in the house.
209
00:13:48,728 --> 00:13:51,764
Maude spoiled her rotten, and
it's up to us to unspoil her.
210
00:13:51,831 --> 00:13:53,967
Now go ahead. Go on.
211
00:13:56,036 --> 00:13:58,438
Elizabeth, what in the world are
you doing,
212
00:13:58,505 --> 00:14:00,173
swatting flies outside?
213
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,043
You say that Myrtle draws flies
into the house,
214
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:05,245
I figure if I can
kill them all off,
215
00:14:05,312 --> 00:14:06,880
there won't be any to draw into
the house.
216
00:14:06,947 --> 00:14:08,882
Myrtle is not going inside.
217
00:14:08,949 --> 00:14:11,184
Now, you help me keep her in her
place.
218
00:14:11,251 --> 00:14:14,621
Ben, you make it good and tight.
219
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,056
You know, that one up there
220
00:14:16,123 --> 00:14:18,591
looks like a resident housefly
to me, eh?
221
00:14:18,658 --> 00:14:21,895
Yes, I think that's a Walton
fly. Leave her alone.
222
00:14:24,697 --> 00:14:26,599
Hey, lookee here.
223
00:14:26,666 --> 00:14:28,135
That one there.
224
00:14:28,201 --> 00:14:30,070
Must've just eaten, that little
fly.
225
00:14:30,137 --> 00:14:33,941
It's washing its face just like
a cat would.
226
00:14:34,007 --> 00:14:35,943
And it's looking around at us
227
00:14:36,009 --> 00:14:37,945
with its beautiful big blue
eyes,
228
00:14:38,011 --> 00:14:40,313
watching out for its enemies.
229
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:42,950
-With flyswatters.
-Hmm.
230
00:14:45,118 --> 00:14:47,420
You know, the common housefly
231
00:14:47,487 --> 00:14:49,722
is one of the most perfect
examples of motherhood
232
00:14:49,789 --> 00:14:51,858
that there is, Elizabeth.
233
00:14:51,925 --> 00:14:53,893
The ordinary female housefly
234
00:14:53,961 --> 00:14:56,964
can literally hatch up thousands
of young ones.
235
00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:58,999
Grandpa, I'd rather if you
didn't tell me
236
00:14:59,066 --> 00:15:02,002
nice things about flies.
I could never kill them.
237
00:15:02,069 --> 00:15:04,804
Life is like that.
238
00:15:04,871 --> 00:15:06,173
Let's go.
239
00:15:07,507 --> 00:15:10,143
It's all so excruciatingly
exciting and romantic.
240
00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:11,478
A girl wing-walker.
241
00:15:11,544 --> 00:15:13,813
Flying in the sky all dressed in
white,
242
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,182
you must look like a dove.
243
00:15:15,248 --> 00:15:17,084
I'll bet you get tons of
proposals.
244
00:15:17,150 --> 00:15:19,552
Oh, at least one a day.
245
00:15:19,619 --> 00:15:22,990
But actually not many men are
willing to follow me out
246
00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:26,159
on the wing of an airplane going
65 miles an hour.
247
00:15:27,961 --> 00:15:31,864
I'd like to set that to music.
What does it sound like?
248
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:35,402
At first, it's like a whistling.
249
00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:38,038
But then you break through
to a whole other world
250
00:15:38,105 --> 00:15:40,240
where it's quiet, and you feel
251
00:15:40,307 --> 00:15:43,210
as if you're the only person
alive in the universe.
252
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:45,112
Mama went up in an airplane
253
00:15:45,178 --> 00:15:47,147
with a pilot who landed in her
meadow.
254
00:15:47,214 --> 00:15:49,282
It was the thrill of my life.
A whole other world.
255
00:15:49,349 --> 00:15:52,519
I've got an aviator cap like
yours. I'll go get it.
256
00:15:52,585 --> 00:15:55,488
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It'll wait till after supper.
257
00:15:55,555 --> 00:15:58,358
Let Miss Strom finish eating her
food.
258
00:15:58,425 --> 00:16:02,095
Strom. That's a very interesting
name. Never heard it before.
259
00:16:02,162 --> 00:16:06,066
It's Scandinavian.
It means electrical current.
260
00:16:06,133 --> 00:16:09,069
Like lightning striking. Like
you!
261
00:16:09,136 --> 00:16:11,704
Sounds like a storm.
Barnstormers.
262
00:16:11,771 --> 00:16:13,740
I suppose you young ones know
that barnstormers
263
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:15,475
were early play actors
264
00:16:15,542 --> 00:16:18,711
who went around on horseback
playing in barns and such?
265
00:16:18,778 --> 00:16:21,814
-I didn't know that, Grandpa.
-Well, Zeb would.
266
00:16:21,881 --> 00:16:24,451
He's been putting on a show
most of his life.
267
00:16:24,517 --> 00:16:27,487
And my only admission price is a
kiss.
268
00:16:27,554 --> 00:16:29,656
You see.
269
00:16:29,722 --> 00:16:33,026
You know, we have a picture of
Amelia Earhart in our school.
270
00:16:33,093 --> 00:16:34,361
She's a real hero.
271
00:16:34,427 --> 00:16:36,163
But she's safe in a cockpit.
272
00:16:36,229 --> 00:16:37,530
Bobby's on the wing of an
airplane,
273
00:16:37,597 --> 00:16:40,333
flying with
the wind in her face.
274
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,669
What's the difference between
a woman flying an airplane
275
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:45,438
and a woman
making a spectacle of herself?
276
00:16:47,907 --> 00:16:49,609
May we be excused, please?
277
00:16:49,676 --> 00:16:51,411
Yes, you certainly may.
278
00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:55,715
I haven't finished
the pudding yet.
279
00:16:55,782 --> 00:16:58,251
Eat your pudding.
280
00:16:58,318 --> 00:17:00,653
I'll go get my aviator's cap
and plane, okay?
281
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,456
Okay, Jim-Bob.
282
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:06,593
You sure made
a big hit with him.
283
00:17:06,659 --> 00:17:09,529
-I think she heard you, Grandma.
-I know she did.
284
00:17:09,596 --> 00:17:11,531
Well, she ought to hear
somebody.
285
00:17:11,598 --> 00:17:14,401
That girl better get ready
to meet her maker.
286
00:17:28,648 --> 00:17:31,818
Hey, Myrtle,
what you doing up there?
287
00:17:34,754 --> 00:17:37,257
You're sure gonna
catch it from Grandma.
288
00:17:40,227 --> 00:17:42,195
Like I did?
289
00:17:42,262 --> 00:17:43,763
Oh, well.
290
00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:45,265
You gotta understand Grandma.
291
00:17:45,332 --> 00:17:47,534
According to her lights,
it's sinful for someone
292
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,803
to endanger his life
for sport or entertainment.
293
00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:52,439
That's what sells tickets.
294
00:17:52,505 --> 00:17:56,643
The entire family, friends and
half the town will be there.
295
00:17:56,709 --> 00:17:58,678
Well, no, you don't really
understand my family.
296
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:01,648
There isn't one of them that
would go to see you do a stunt
297
00:18:01,714 --> 00:18:05,318
unless it was to pray you'd come
through safe and sound.
298
00:18:07,454 --> 00:18:10,323
I sure would hate
to see anything happen to you.
299
00:18:21,734 --> 00:18:23,670
I'm sorry.
300
00:18:25,037 --> 00:18:27,807
Is it Rex, your partner?
I mean...
301
00:18:27,874 --> 00:18:32,011
He told me that he went his way
and you went yours.
302
00:18:32,078 --> 00:18:33,246
We do.
303
00:18:34,881 --> 00:18:37,750
-You wouldn't understand.
-I'd like to.
304
00:18:39,552 --> 00:18:42,289
I'd like to know you
a lot better.
305
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,596
Goodnight, John-Boy.
306
00:18:57,136 --> 00:18:59,339
Bobby?
307
00:19:04,544 --> 00:19:06,746
This is gonna sound
pretty silly
308
00:19:06,813 --> 00:19:12,719
but tomorrow when you're up on
your come-on flight, you know...
309
00:19:12,785 --> 00:19:15,588
Well, I've never been up
in an airplane before.
310
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:20,627
And I'd surely like to know
what it feels like up there.
311
00:19:20,693 --> 00:19:23,162
I think it'd be good
for the story,
312
00:19:23,230 --> 00:19:25,398
if you got any room
in the cockpit.
313
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,702
It sure is hard
to say no to you.
314
00:19:32,572 --> 00:19:34,841
-Goodnight, John-Boy.
-Goodnight.
315
00:19:49,856 --> 00:19:51,724
This is great!
316
00:20:31,097 --> 00:20:33,266
Welcome back!
317
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:35,702
You sure had me scared there
for a minute.
318
00:20:38,371 --> 00:20:41,040
Myrtle's found her own mountain,
that's for sure.
319
00:20:41,107 --> 00:20:43,209
Would you like to come in?
320
00:20:43,276 --> 00:20:44,711
Sure.
321
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,750
Yeah, I wonder how long this old
mountain's been here anyway.
322
00:20:50,817 --> 00:20:54,186
They say that primitive life
forms showed up here
323
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:58,157
around 1,500 million B.C.
324
00:20:58,224 --> 00:21:00,026
And here we are.
325
00:21:26,653 --> 00:21:28,988
What's the matter with you?
326
00:21:32,492 --> 00:21:34,327
I want to tell you something.
327
00:21:36,062 --> 00:21:39,298
I've never told this
to anybody before.
328
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:47,039
When I was 15 years old,
329
00:21:49,576 --> 00:21:51,978
I was walking through
some woods.
330
00:21:54,113 --> 00:21:56,983
A man attacked me.
331
00:21:57,049 --> 00:21:59,886
I never saw him before.
I never saw him again.
332
00:22:02,555 --> 00:22:06,359
Can't escape that memory.
333
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:14,066
Say something.
334
00:22:17,036 --> 00:22:19,572
I don't know what to say.
335
00:22:19,639 --> 00:22:22,675
I want to say the right thing.
336
00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:33,553
I think I'd like to be alone.
337
00:22:38,891 --> 00:22:40,026
Bobby.
338
00:22:43,963 --> 00:22:46,098
An experience like that,
339
00:22:49,001 --> 00:22:52,939
it doesn't have to be
a whole lifetime.
340
00:22:58,978 --> 00:23:01,080
I...
341
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:33,312
Did you know
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
342
00:23:33,379 --> 00:23:36,516
worked as a grease monkey to
earn money for flying lessons?
343
00:23:36,583 --> 00:23:37,817
He was a wing-walker, too.
344
00:23:37,884 --> 00:23:39,886
I could learn a lot
from you, Jim-Bob.
345
00:23:39,952 --> 00:23:41,521
I don't know.
You've been doing everything
346
00:23:41,588 --> 00:23:43,255
I've been dreaming of doing.
347
00:23:43,322 --> 00:23:45,091
Have you ever flown, Mr. Walton?
348
00:23:45,157 --> 00:23:47,660
No. Looked up
at a few from the trenches
349
00:23:47,727 --> 00:23:49,128
in France during the war.
350
00:23:49,195 --> 00:23:52,064
Mostly German planes with black
crosses on their wings.
351
00:23:52,131 --> 00:23:53,833
Oh, the German aces.
352
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:57,203
The war did more for the air age
than it did for anything else.
353
00:23:57,269 --> 00:24:00,072
Well, it didn't do much
for our boys in Flanders Field.
354
00:24:00,139 --> 00:24:02,942
The next war will do
even more for flying.
355
00:24:03,009 --> 00:24:06,212
Well, thank heavens there isn't
going to be any next war.
356
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:09,649
Thanks to men like my son
and the other boys,
357
00:24:09,716 --> 00:24:10,683
made the world safe.
358
00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:12,151
I don't know, Grandma.
359
00:24:12,218 --> 00:24:14,787
A lot of marching going on
in Germany right now.
360
00:24:14,854 --> 00:24:17,657
If the war does break out,
I hope to fly in it.
361
00:24:17,724 --> 00:24:19,058
Oh, good Lord.
362
00:24:19,125 --> 00:24:20,660
I don't know.
363
00:24:20,727 --> 00:24:22,294
We had nurses and women
ambulance drivers
364
00:24:22,361 --> 00:24:25,732
behind the lines, but women
fighter pilots? I don't know.
365
00:24:25,798 --> 00:24:30,236
I was thinking of flying
soldiers to the war zones.
366
00:24:35,875 --> 00:24:37,544
You might pay
attention here, reporter.
367
00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:39,245
Some background for your story.
368
00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:43,683
Say that Jim-Bob here is flying
the plane and I'm on the wing.
369
00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:45,351
Air bumps, or turbulence,
370
00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:49,321
need not be feared, Jim-Bob,
if you know what causes them.
371
00:24:49,388 --> 00:24:52,224
Now, warm air travels upward.
372
00:24:52,291 --> 00:24:56,629
You can expect it mostly over
cities and open fields
373
00:24:56,696 --> 00:24:58,765
that catch the full rays
of the sun.
374
00:24:58,831 --> 00:25:02,969
Cool air travels downwards
over lakes and forests.
375
00:25:04,270 --> 00:25:06,138
Downdrafts can be dangerous.
376
00:25:06,205 --> 00:25:08,775
The way to avoid a crash
is to gun your engine
377
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:11,377
and just fly up out of them.
378
00:25:11,443 --> 00:25:14,180
Now, as the plane flies forward
379
00:25:14,246 --> 00:25:17,383
the air flows
and goes around the wing.
380
00:25:17,449 --> 00:25:20,753
In a declining angle,
the air helps to hold me on.
381
00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:24,190
If the air meets the wing
at too sharp of an angle,
382
00:25:24,256 --> 00:25:29,395
the wind just rushes over me and
I have a hard time holding on.
383
00:25:29,461 --> 00:25:34,701
This can cause a decrease in
lift and your plane could stall.
384
00:25:36,168 --> 00:25:39,906
Oh, I'd never let that happen.
Not with you out there.
385
00:25:39,972 --> 00:25:42,208
With a good pilot,
and Rex is the best
386
00:25:42,274 --> 00:25:43,943
until Jim-Bob
gets his wings here,
387
00:25:44,010 --> 00:25:46,713
all I've got to do is just lean
into the wind, that's all.
388
00:25:46,779 --> 00:25:49,982
If you know how to combat drag
and gravity pull,
389
00:25:50,049 --> 00:25:52,719
there's nothing to be afraid of.
390
00:25:54,721 --> 00:25:57,156
Unless I decide
to take that chance.
391
00:25:57,223 --> 00:25:59,892
What chance?
392
00:25:59,959 --> 00:26:02,461
Climb out of the cockpit,
393
00:26:02,528 --> 00:26:03,996
up to the top wing.
394
00:26:04,063 --> 00:26:05,531
Top wing?
395
00:26:05,598 --> 00:26:08,935
Stand there with no support.
396
00:26:09,001 --> 00:26:10,202
Free,
397
00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:13,706
and lean into the wind
holding two flags on high.
398
00:26:13,773 --> 00:26:15,041
With no safety belt?
399
00:26:15,107 --> 00:26:18,577
With a safety belt,
I wouldn't be free.
400
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:35,895
Bobby.
401
00:26:38,564 --> 00:26:40,933
I've been thinking
402
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,970
about what you told me
403
00:26:44,036 --> 00:26:46,873
and about the way
you take chances.
404
00:26:46,939 --> 00:26:50,176
I think if you wanna be happy
and you wanna make
405
00:26:50,242 --> 00:26:53,980
anybody else happy,
you're gonna have to
406
00:26:54,046 --> 00:26:57,283
love your own life
and not be afraid of it.
407
00:27:03,222 --> 00:27:05,324
Is my life worth loving?
408
00:27:06,893 --> 00:27:09,061
Your life is precious.
409
00:27:34,887 --> 00:27:36,155
Good morning.
410
00:27:36,222 --> 00:27:37,990
Hey, Reckless.
411
00:27:38,057 --> 00:27:40,159
-Hi, Myrtle.
-Hi.
412
00:27:40,226 --> 00:27:41,360
Where's Jim-Bob?
413
00:27:41,427 --> 00:27:43,863
Oh, he's upstairs, Mama.
He'll be right down.
414
00:27:43,930 --> 00:27:45,698
Bye-bye, have a nice day.
415
00:27:45,765 --> 00:27:48,500
-Wait. I'll say bye to Myrtle.
-No.
416
00:27:48,567 --> 00:27:51,103
You'll smell up
the whole school with goat.
417
00:27:51,170 --> 00:27:53,605
-Grandma.
-I'm going to take that goat,
418
00:27:53,672 --> 00:27:58,778
lock it in the barn, and throw
the key in Drucilla's Pond.
419
00:27:58,845 --> 00:28:02,248
-Jim-Bob, your lunch.
-Thanks, Ma.
420
00:28:02,314 --> 00:28:05,718
-Have a good day.
-Bye, Myrtle.
421
00:28:05,785 --> 00:28:07,353
Where's John-Boy this morning?
422
00:28:07,419 --> 00:28:09,588
He took that story
he's writing about you
423
00:28:09,655 --> 00:28:11,490
to the Jefferson County Times.
424
00:28:11,557 --> 00:28:13,960
-Bye, Elizabeth.
-Bye.
425
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:16,729
Do you have time for a walk,
Mrs. Walton?
426
00:28:16,796 --> 00:28:18,364
I should be doing
the breakfast dishes,
427
00:28:18,430 --> 00:28:21,901
but sure.
A walk would be more fun.
428
00:28:27,273 --> 00:28:30,142
Yesterday there was
a rose in my room.
429
00:28:30,209 --> 00:28:32,812
Last night
there was another one.
430
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:40,652
A long time ago, I had an
experience that changed my life.
431
00:28:40,719 --> 00:28:42,889
I just stopped feeling.
432
00:28:44,223 --> 00:28:47,927
I couldn't let
anybody be close to me.
433
00:28:47,994 --> 00:28:51,063
I was determined
to not ever get hurt again.
434
00:28:51,130 --> 00:28:54,400
I was too scared, too scared
to be close to anyone.
435
00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:56,936
And then John-Boy
436
00:28:57,003 --> 00:28:59,772
made me want to change all that.
437
00:29:03,810 --> 00:29:05,177
Something wrong?
438
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:10,282
It's a place not much different
from this where it happened.
439
00:29:14,420 --> 00:29:17,623
I've never been able
to go into the shadows.
440
00:29:17,689 --> 00:29:19,458
Let's go back the other way.
441
00:29:32,104 --> 00:29:36,242
It's beautiful here.
442
00:29:36,308 --> 00:29:39,578
-Does it have a name?
-Drucilla's Pond.
443
00:29:39,645 --> 00:29:41,580
John-Boy loves it here.
444
00:29:41,647 --> 00:29:43,449
We all do.
445
00:29:43,515 --> 00:29:46,452
We have a wonderful time
when we come here for picnics.
446
00:29:46,518 --> 00:29:49,455
To hear the children's voices
yelling and screaming,
447
00:29:49,521 --> 00:29:54,026
and Grandpa getting mad
'cause he's trying to fish.
448
00:29:54,093 --> 00:29:56,662
I never used to think
of a family of my own.
449
00:29:56,728 --> 00:29:59,631
If it's what you want,
there's no greater blessing.
450
00:29:59,698 --> 00:30:01,834
You and Mr. Walton are lucky.
451
00:30:01,901 --> 00:30:03,202
We've had a good life.
452
00:30:03,269 --> 00:30:05,037
Hasn't always
been smooth sailing
453
00:30:05,104 --> 00:30:07,840
but we always
loved each other.
454
00:30:07,907 --> 00:30:09,475
That got us
through the bad times
455
00:30:09,541 --> 00:30:11,577
and made
the good times even better.
456
00:30:15,181 --> 00:30:17,583
I've been such a disappointment
to my parents.
457
00:30:19,118 --> 00:30:21,120
They wanted grandchildren.
458
00:30:29,195 --> 00:30:32,531
Mrs. Walton, I slept
so soundly last night.
459
00:30:32,598 --> 00:30:35,334
I don't know
if it was the good mountain air
460
00:30:35,401 --> 00:30:38,204
or all the warmth
and friendliness
461
00:30:38,270 --> 00:30:40,439
I've felt here
from all of you.
462
00:30:40,506 --> 00:30:41,840
Oh, I slept soundly.
463
00:30:41,908 --> 00:30:44,543
-Even with Myrtle on your roof?
-Yes.
464
00:30:47,513 --> 00:30:51,984
I'm the kind of person who just
plunges right into life
465
00:30:52,051 --> 00:30:57,089
but here I've started to change
and look around.
466
00:30:57,156 --> 00:30:59,325
I'm becoming
something different.
467
00:30:59,391 --> 00:31:02,561
After all these years
of not allowing myself
468
00:31:02,628 --> 00:31:04,363
to feel anything at all
469
00:31:04,430 --> 00:31:07,133
can you imagine
how I really feel right now?
470
00:31:10,369 --> 00:31:13,439
I think I'm falling in love
with John-Boy.
471
00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:16,308
Does he know?
472
00:31:17,676 --> 00:31:20,947
No.
473
00:31:21,013 --> 00:31:23,582
A girl has never
been courted so tenderly.
474
00:31:34,593 --> 00:31:38,330
I've never encountered a woman
like Bobby Strom before.
475
00:31:38,397 --> 00:31:41,167
From the first moment I saw
her, I found her tantalizing
476
00:31:41,233 --> 00:31:44,036
and romantic, even challenging.
477
00:31:44,103 --> 00:31:46,238
But what Bobby
has told me about herself
478
00:31:46,305 --> 00:31:49,208
has made me think
about my own feelings for her,
479
00:31:49,275 --> 00:31:51,510
and I now realize that
they may not have been
480
00:31:51,577 --> 00:31:53,645
of the most noble type.
481
00:31:53,712 --> 00:31:55,914
I feel embarrassed
and guilty when I think
482
00:31:55,982 --> 00:31:57,583
of how I might have
treated her.
483
00:31:57,649 --> 00:32:01,053
From here on, I want to
put those feelings behind me
484
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,490
and be her friend
and truly help her.
485
00:32:04,556 --> 00:32:07,026
Are you sure Myrtle
won't kick like Chance?
486
00:32:07,093 --> 00:32:09,195
Not if you keep the flies away.
487
00:32:11,397 --> 00:32:12,664
Shoo.
488
00:32:12,731 --> 00:32:15,467
You know, Myrtle, if Grandma
likes your milk enough,
489
00:32:15,534 --> 00:32:17,403
maybe she'll
let you out of jail.
490
00:32:17,469 --> 00:32:20,672
Can I try?
I'll take in the bucket.
491
00:32:20,739 --> 00:32:24,410
Hey, that's not fair.
I'm gonna tell Daddy on you.
492
00:32:24,476 --> 00:32:26,212
Wait a minute.
Here, you can milk the goat.
493
00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:29,015
Here. Sit right down here.
494
00:32:29,081 --> 00:32:31,350
Come on. Just like Chance.
495
00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:36,188
-No need help. You're company.
-I want to.
496
00:32:36,255 --> 00:32:38,424
You know, right now
you sure don't look like
497
00:32:38,490 --> 00:32:40,892
that Death Defying Bobby Strom
to me.
498
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:43,662
-Good.
-Tomorrow's your big day?
499
00:32:43,729 --> 00:32:45,664
Yes, ma'am. The fair.
500
00:32:45,731 --> 00:32:47,599
Well, don't court death, child.
501
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:50,336
Mama!
502
00:32:50,402 --> 00:32:53,672
-Here's Myrtle's milk.
-Why, thank you, honey, Ben.
503
00:32:53,739 --> 00:32:54,973
Oh, it was nothing, Mama.
504
00:32:55,041 --> 00:32:56,708
Three squirts in there
are by me.
505
00:32:56,775 --> 00:33:00,079
You see, I got a lot of pull
with Myrtle. Come on, Elizabeth.
506
00:33:04,383 --> 00:33:06,452
Goat don't give much, does it?
507
00:33:06,518 --> 00:33:08,154
They say it's very rich,
Grandma.
508
00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:10,189
We've to learn
how to make goat cheese.
509
00:33:10,256 --> 00:33:12,024
Haven't made it
since a long time.
510
00:33:12,091 --> 00:33:14,060
Is John-Boy up in his room,
Mrs. Walton?
511
00:33:14,126 --> 00:33:16,195
Yeah, I think so.
512
00:33:16,262 --> 00:33:17,996
Would it be alright
to go talk to him?
513
00:33:18,064 --> 00:33:19,431
Sure.
514
00:33:28,507 --> 00:33:29,641
Come in.
515
00:33:32,144 --> 00:33:34,180
Oh, Bobby.
516
00:33:34,246 --> 00:33:35,881
Have you got a minute?
517
00:33:35,947 --> 00:33:39,151
Sure. Come in. Sit down.
518
00:33:41,287 --> 00:33:43,622
I'm sorry I've been holed up
here for a while.
519
00:33:43,689 --> 00:33:46,258
I'm just trying to
catch up on my books.
520
00:33:46,325 --> 00:33:49,628
I've gotten behind
on just about all my studies.
521
00:33:49,695 --> 00:33:51,863
Because of me?
522
00:33:51,930 --> 00:33:53,532
Well, yes.
523
00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:57,369
The story for the Times just
made everything sort of pile up.
524
00:33:57,436 --> 00:34:00,106
I wouldn't have missed it
for the world, though.
525
00:34:02,007 --> 00:34:04,076
You look wonderful.
526
00:34:06,745 --> 00:34:09,681
John-Boy, there's something
I wanted to ask you.
527
00:34:14,653 --> 00:34:18,890
Is it too late to stop the story
about my going up tomorrow?
528
00:34:18,957 --> 00:34:21,927
You're not gonna go up?
529
00:34:21,993 --> 00:34:24,296
Well, that's great.
530
00:34:24,363 --> 00:34:26,232
That's really great.
531
00:34:26,298 --> 00:34:28,567
You don't mind
the story not being printed?
532
00:34:28,634 --> 00:34:31,337
Oh, no, that's alright.
I mean, I enjoyed writing it,
533
00:34:31,403 --> 00:34:34,540
but I can call Mr. Fletcher
and he can cancel it.
534
00:34:34,606 --> 00:34:36,442
I mean, that's not
the important thing.
535
00:34:36,508 --> 00:34:39,044
It's important that you won't
take chances like that anymore.
536
00:34:39,111 --> 00:34:41,313
I mean, Rex can still do
his crazy stunts.
537
00:34:41,380 --> 00:34:43,815
I've never felt like
this before a stunt,
538
00:34:46,652 --> 00:34:50,589
but then I never had
so much to lose before.
539
00:34:57,329 --> 00:34:59,465
I'm glad we're having this talk.
540
00:35:06,672 --> 00:35:09,441
I kind of feel like
I've been avoiding it
541
00:35:12,344 --> 00:35:15,447
because I haven't really
known what to say.
542
00:35:17,516 --> 00:35:22,954
I feel so many
different things for you.
543
00:35:23,021 --> 00:35:27,359
I feel tenderness for you and...
544
00:35:27,426 --> 00:35:30,196
It's because you're such a
special kind of person.
545
00:35:40,472 --> 00:35:43,575
You've changed towards me
because of what I told you.
546
00:35:45,977 --> 00:35:47,946
Well...
547
00:35:48,013 --> 00:35:49,548
No, not...
548
00:35:49,615 --> 00:35:53,752
I mean, yes. It's just that I
feel truly like a friend to you.
549
00:35:53,819 --> 00:35:55,921
-A friend?
-It's just that I don't wanna...
550
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:58,624
I don't want you to be
hurt again by anyone.
551
00:35:58,690 --> 00:36:02,294
Is every man I meet going to
feel like a friend towards me?
552
00:36:02,361 --> 00:36:04,296
Wait a minute.
I didn't say that.
553
00:36:04,363 --> 00:36:06,164
-You said it for yourself.
-I didn't.
554
00:36:06,232 --> 00:36:08,300
-I wanna explain.
-Go back to your books!
555
00:36:08,367 --> 00:36:11,002
I'm not done. There
are things I wanna tell you.
556
00:36:11,069 --> 00:36:12,137
-I've heard it all!
-Bobby.
557
00:36:12,204 --> 00:36:14,873
-Bobby...
-Don't follow me!
558
00:36:40,098 --> 00:36:42,468
The roses were from me.
559
00:36:55,614 --> 00:36:58,850
Well, where is everybody? We're
gonna be late for the fair.
560
00:36:58,917 --> 00:37:02,454
Mary Ellen and Erin are primping
in front of the mirror.
561
00:37:02,521 --> 00:37:04,723
You'd think they were going
to a beauty contest.
562
00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:07,559
The fair is gonna be over
if we don't go now.
563
00:37:07,626 --> 00:37:09,561
Well, Bobby's not
going up anyway.
564
00:37:09,628 --> 00:37:13,064
-I never thought she'd quit.
-Well, I'm glad she did.
565
00:37:13,131 --> 00:37:14,533
Yeah, me, too.
566
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,168
I still want to see Rex
and those crazy stunts.
567
00:37:17,235 --> 00:37:18,804
Well, where is everybody,
Grandpa?
568
00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:21,407
Young man, you spend
all your early years
569
00:37:21,473 --> 00:37:22,874
waiting for the right girl
to come along
570
00:37:22,941 --> 00:37:24,410
and then the rest
of your life waiting
571
00:37:24,476 --> 00:37:26,077
for her to
get ready to come along.
572
00:37:26,144 --> 00:37:27,646
Zeb, I'm here on time.
573
00:37:27,713 --> 00:37:30,416
-Where's Jim-Bob?
-John-Boy.
574
00:37:31,950 --> 00:37:33,985
Bobby? Where's Bobby?
575
00:37:34,052 --> 00:37:35,887
Myrtle's gone. She's gone.
576
00:37:35,954 --> 00:37:39,791
Myrtle's gone! She's gone!
577
00:37:39,858 --> 00:37:43,161
-Daddy, Myrtle's gone!
-Easy, honey. She can't go far.
578
00:37:43,228 --> 00:37:46,932
-But, Daddy, she's gone!
-Alright, now, we'll find her.
579
00:37:46,998 --> 00:37:50,001
-It's all your fault, Grandma.
-Now you calm yourself, child.
580
00:37:50,068 --> 00:37:52,103
She's gone because
you wouldn't let us love her!
581
00:37:52,170 --> 00:37:54,873
Now, she's most likely in the
corn just foundering herself.
582
00:37:54,940 --> 00:37:56,375
Now, I'll get her.
583
00:37:56,442 --> 00:37:58,910
-Daddy, please let's find her!
-Alright, honey.
584
00:37:58,977 --> 00:38:00,312
Let's find her.
Everybody, take a look.
585
00:38:00,379 --> 00:38:01,547
Let's go. Come on.
586
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:02,648
I know where.
Let's try over here.
587
00:38:02,714 --> 00:38:04,049
-Jason, come on.
-Myrtle!
588
00:38:04,115 --> 00:38:06,452
-Myrtle!
-Myrtle!
589
00:38:06,518 --> 00:38:08,754
-Mama?
-Zeb, you look down there.
590
00:38:08,820 --> 00:38:10,722
-Myrtle!
-Myrtle!
591
00:38:10,789 --> 00:38:14,192
-Here, goat.
-She's gone. She left a note.
592
00:38:14,259 --> 00:38:15,727
"Thank you for the hospitality
593
00:38:15,794 --> 00:38:17,463
"and thank Jim-Bob
for the roses.
594
00:38:17,529 --> 00:38:19,498
"I love him for it."
595
00:38:22,468 --> 00:38:24,603
We had a little trouble
last night.
596
00:38:26,171 --> 00:38:30,376
When I first met her I had a
kind of a feeling about her,
597
00:38:30,442 --> 00:38:33,111
and I think I led her on.
598
00:38:33,178 --> 00:38:35,681
Did you know
she's in love with you?
599
00:38:35,747 --> 00:38:39,351
Yeah. I think she tried to tell
me that in my room last night.
600
00:38:39,418 --> 00:38:41,387
My feelings about us
changed a little bit.
601
00:38:41,453 --> 00:38:43,989
Not in a bad way,
but I tried to explain her
602
00:38:44,055 --> 00:38:45,391
she wouldn't listen.
603
00:38:45,457 --> 00:38:47,225
I don't know what's going
through her head.
604
00:38:47,292 --> 00:38:50,496
She may be taking this sensibly
than you give her credit for.
605
00:38:50,562 --> 00:38:52,163
She said she wasn't gonna
wing-walk anymore.
606
00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:53,832
Mama, I know her,
607
00:38:53,899 --> 00:38:55,667
I'm telling you she's gone
to those fair grounds.
608
00:38:55,734 --> 00:38:58,704
And I wouldn't put it past her
to try that top-wing stunt.
609
00:38:58,770 --> 00:39:01,373
-You want me to go with you?
-Would you?
610
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:02,674
-Come on.
-Hey, Myrtle!
611
00:39:02,741 --> 00:39:04,342
-Myrtle!
-Did you find her?
612
00:39:04,410 --> 00:39:05,511
-Myrtle!
-Myrtle!
613
00:39:05,577 --> 00:39:07,579
-Myrtle!
-Myrtle!
614
00:39:07,646 --> 00:39:09,848
-Myrtle!
-Myrtle!
615
00:39:09,915 --> 00:39:11,850
Here, goat!
616
00:39:20,859 --> 00:39:22,994
Zeb, I think I'll stay home.
617
00:39:23,061 --> 00:39:25,997
Oh, now, Esther, you know you
never miss a county fair.
618
00:39:26,064 --> 00:39:30,168
I've seen it all.
Nothing but crowds.
619
00:39:30,235 --> 00:39:31,937
You go on.
620
00:39:36,775 --> 00:39:38,910
Ladies and gentlemen,
621
00:39:38,977 --> 00:39:43,415
introducing our
aerial circus extravaganza,
622
00:39:45,851 --> 00:39:50,489
with stunt pilot Rex Barker
and wing-walker Bobby Strom.
623
00:39:50,556 --> 00:39:53,091
As an added attraction
this morning,
624
00:39:53,158 --> 00:39:55,427
our Death Defying Bobby Strom
625
00:39:55,494 --> 00:39:58,630
will attempt
for the very first time
626
00:39:58,697 --> 00:40:03,435
to walk the top wing
without any safety devices.
627
00:40:07,706 --> 00:40:10,709
Mister, is there any way
I can talk to them up there?
628
00:40:10,776 --> 00:40:12,444
You got radio contact
or something?
629
00:40:12,511 --> 00:40:14,112
-Anything wrong?
-I gotta talk to her.
630
00:40:14,179 --> 00:40:16,381
She's up there. She's gonna
do something dangerous.
631
00:40:16,448 --> 00:40:17,983
I'd talk her out of it.
632
00:40:18,049 --> 00:40:20,486
No. When they're up there,
they're on their own.
633
00:40:20,552 --> 00:40:22,721
You mean you want me
to cheat the people
634
00:40:22,788 --> 00:40:25,356
who paid good money to see this?
635
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:27,425
You're crazy.
636
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:38,236
And now Rex Barker,
637
00:40:38,303 --> 00:40:40,906
sky-devil extraordinaire,
638
00:40:40,972 --> 00:40:43,241
with Bobby Strom
riding in the front cockpit,
639
00:40:43,308 --> 00:40:47,479
will first perform
the suicidal loop-the-loop!
640
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:09,100
Watch out! Here he comes.
High up in the sky.
641
00:41:14,305 --> 00:41:16,374
What we've been waiting for,
642
00:41:16,441 --> 00:41:18,544
Death Defying Bobby Strom!
643
00:41:18,610 --> 00:41:20,812
-Attaboy!
-Attaboy!
644
00:41:41,166 --> 00:41:45,103
Ladies and gentlemen,
for the very first time
645
00:41:45,170 --> 00:41:48,640
Bobby Strom will attempt,
I say attempt
646
00:41:48,707 --> 00:41:53,879
the ultimate death-defying
wing-walking stunt
647
00:41:53,945 --> 00:41:58,316
that flouts all of the
principles of aerodynamics
648
00:41:58,383 --> 00:42:01,086
all odds of survival.
649
00:42:10,128 --> 00:42:13,732
Bobby Strom will attempt
to walk the top wing
650
00:42:13,799 --> 00:42:16,501
at 65 miles per hour
651
00:42:16,568 --> 00:42:18,503
without a safety belt
652
00:42:18,570 --> 00:42:20,572
without a pole support
653
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:24,109
without any safety devices
whatsoever!
654
00:42:24,175 --> 00:42:26,111
John, I wish
you hadn't brought the children.
655
00:42:26,177 --> 00:42:27,979
It's too late now, Liv.
656
00:42:56,007 --> 00:42:59,277
Forget it, Bobby! Don't do it!
657
00:43:43,021 --> 00:43:44,690
Oh, my!
658
00:44:53,925 --> 00:44:56,061
Are you alright?
659
00:45:01,566 --> 00:45:02,834
Bobby?
660
00:45:05,436 --> 00:45:06,437
Yes.
661
00:45:07,839 --> 00:45:09,908
I wanted to talk to you.
662
00:45:09,975 --> 00:45:14,079
-I had to tell you that...
-You don't have to say anything.
663
00:45:16,815 --> 00:45:19,184
I'm just glad you're safe.
664
00:45:27,358 --> 00:45:30,095
You set me to thinking,
John-Boy Walton.
665
00:45:32,864 --> 00:45:35,633
I did fall for you,
but I'll get over that.
666
00:45:35,700 --> 00:45:39,504
What's important is that
my feet are on the ground
667
00:45:39,570 --> 00:45:41,773
and I know where I'm going.
668
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,141
Where's that?
669
00:45:44,876 --> 00:45:46,778
Well,
670
00:45:46,845 --> 00:45:48,413
you ain't the only
cute country boy
671
00:45:48,479 --> 00:45:51,983
with a choirboy face
and a way with words.
672
00:46:00,491 --> 00:46:02,928
Good-bye, John-Boy.
673
00:46:17,342 --> 00:46:19,310
Miss Strom.
674
00:46:46,271 --> 00:46:47,305
Bye.
675
00:47:22,273 --> 00:47:24,409
Myrtle!
676
00:47:24,475 --> 00:47:25,877
You came home!
677
00:47:25,944 --> 00:47:28,613
She didn't come home.
I brought her home.
678
00:47:28,679 --> 00:47:29,747
Hey, Myrtle.
679
00:47:29,814 --> 00:47:32,017
-Myrtle.
-Hey, Myrtle.
680
00:47:32,083 --> 00:47:33,952
Where'd you find her, Grandma?
681
00:47:34,019 --> 00:47:36,087
She went back to Maude's
682
00:47:36,154 --> 00:47:39,524
because nobody here
is giving her love or attention.
683
00:47:39,590 --> 00:47:42,493
Now we gotta be more careful
with this goat.
684
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:43,761
She's not stupid.
685
00:47:43,828 --> 00:47:48,099
-She's more sensitive than most.
-You all remember that.
686
00:48:01,612 --> 00:48:04,115
We were never
to see or even hear
687
00:48:04,182 --> 00:48:06,251
from the wing-walker again.
688
00:48:06,317 --> 00:48:08,419
To this day,
I think of Bobby Strom
689
00:48:08,486 --> 00:48:11,622
whenever I see
a white dove in flight.
690
00:48:11,689 --> 00:48:13,591
And within Jim-Bob's heart
691
00:48:13,658 --> 00:48:16,361
I'm sure there's
a bittersweet memory.
692
00:48:20,031 --> 00:48:22,200
Grandma, remember
all the flies I swatted for you
693
00:48:22,267 --> 00:48:23,701
so Myrtle could stay?
694
00:48:23,768 --> 00:48:26,437
-You did well, Elizabeth.
-I see lot of fireflies outside.
695
00:48:26,504 --> 00:48:29,507
You suppose they're friends
looking for me with lanterns?
696
00:48:29,574 --> 00:48:32,043
More than likely
they're the flies you swatted
697
00:48:32,110 --> 00:48:35,113
bound for heaven
with their halos burning bright.
698
00:48:35,180 --> 00:48:37,148
But I flushed
them down the toilet.
699
00:48:37,215 --> 00:48:39,117
-Goodnight, Elizabeth.
-Goodnight, Mama.
700
00:48:39,184 --> 00:48:41,186
-Goodnight, Daddy.
-Night, honey.
701
00:48:41,252 --> 00:48:43,188
Come on, Liv,
turn off the light.
702
00:48:43,254 --> 00:48:45,991
Turn out the fireflies, too.
703
00:48:46,057 --> 00:48:48,059
Goodnight, Elizabeth.
704
00:48:48,109 --> 00:48:52,659
