All language subtitles for The Waltons s05e16 The Elopement

Hello, Chad.

Mr. Walton, I wanna talk
to you about something.

You and Mrs. Walton.

Alright.

We want to get married.

Of all the people
whose lives touched ours...

on Walton's Mountain,
my sister, Erin...

remembers most vividly
a young forestry student

who visited us briefly
in the summer of 1936.

He was her first love.

In the Spring of 1937, with the
blossoming of the dogwood...

Chad Marshall returned.

John Walton.

You old woodchopper!
What're you doing here?

Bought a piece of land. Gonna
settle on it.

You did? That's great!
Family will be glad to see you.

-How's everybody?
-Everybody's fine.

-Hey, Mary Ellen got married.
-No! No kidding.

-Yes, ain't that something?
-Say, how's Erin?

Oh, Erin, she's fine.
She's fine.

She got a job
in Rockfish...

working at
the telephone station.

I'm on my way
to pick her up there.

You mind if I went
over there instead?

Well, that'd be quite
a surprise.

Is it alright?

It's alright.
That's a good idea.

-Great.
-I'll see you at the house.

-Back at the house.
-Hey, wait a minute.

Go in there
and I'll go back.

Ike.

Ike?

-Hey, John-Boy.
-Hey, Ike.

-You're looking for mail, huh?
-Yeah.

Yeah, I just checked.
There's nothing for you today.

You're looking for one of them
big advertising checks?

Honestly,
it wouldn't hurt a bit.

The paper's gonna be
a bit thin this week.

I'm glad
you dropped by...

'cause I wanna
tell you something.

Corabeth and I
are taking Aimee...

and we're gonna introduce her
to her relatives in Doe Hill.

-That's nice.
-We're gonna be gone a few days.

And we need somebody to watch
the store. Somebody trustworthy.

And... Well, I'll
give you $2 a day.

As long as you're
on school vacation...

you can put
the two together...

Ike, I appreciate the offer,
but I just can't do it.

I got the newspaper
and my book to work on.

I wouldn't have time
to do proper job on it.

I'm sorry.

Well, I guess there's only
so many hours in the day.

I have an idea, though.

Jason has the same
school break I've got...

and he needs money
for his tuition.

-Well, you think he'd do it?
-Oh, I don't see why not.

Is there a problem?

Well, no, there's no problem.
It's just that...

I mean, we're very fond of Jason
and he's excellent in music.

But I just don't think
he'd be very good in business.

Why not? He'd be no worse
than I am. I'm no genius at it.

Ike, I'll tell you what. If
it'll make you feel better...

I'll come in now and then and
see that everything's alright.

And I'll kinda take
responsibility for it. Okay?

That'll be good.
Corabeth would like that.

-So, this is your land, huh?
-The whole thing.

It's the old Fairchild place.

It's the old
Chad Marshall place.

Me and the Virginia State Bank.

-Well, how'd you do it?
-Well, worked nights, weekends.

Saved up $20.
Bank put up the other $20.

I pay them off $2 a month.

You're just as crazy
as you were before.

What're you going to do with it?
You're still in college.

I did a lot of thinking
while I was here last summer.

Learned more about
the land in two days...

than I did in two years
of college.

So, I figured I
should stop wasting my time.

-You quit?
-No, I started.

-What?
-My life.

You didn't have
to give up school.

Oh, Erin, all I did that
whole last year at VP

I was think about this place.

This mountain and what it'd be
like to live and work here.

Now, the one thing I didn't do,
Erin, was schoolwork.

I figured, if this is where
I want to live and work...

I better get
here and do it.

-Well, where're you gonna stay?
-In my log cabin.

-What log cabin?
-The one I'm going to build.

Where're you gonna
stay until then?

My tent.

-Well, you could stay with us.
-Oh, Erin.

I appreciate the offer, I do.

But I want to stay
right here, on my land.

Come on.

This is my land.
That's my forest.

It is my land. Yes!

I paid for it. It's my land.

That's my stone. This is
my tree. This is all mine.

Speak. Myrtle. Speak. Baa.

Speak.

-You can't train a goat.
-Well, she did it before.

That's 'cause she wanted to.
Not because you told her.

I said "speak"
and she went "Baa!"

It was an accident.
She's just a dumb goat.

Myrtle is not dumb. She's
smarter than a lot of people.

Now, speak.

Come on. Speak.

Baa.

Come on, speak.

You dumb goat.

Eat.

Hey! Well, look who's here!

Hey, old Chad! How're you doing?

-You couldn't stay away, huh?
-How are you?

-I knew you'd be back.
-Good to see you.

-Where's your backpack?
-It's right back here.

How long are you
gonna be with us, Chad?

He's not staying with us, Mama.
He bought some land.

The old Fairchild
place up the road.

Sounds like you're
staying for a while.

Well...

You're gonna need some
shelter on that hillside.

Well, there's a bear cave.

It's got bats in it, remember?

No. Like Grandpa says,
I got my tent.

I got everything I need here.

Come on inside.
Come on, everybody.

Come along. Wonderful
to see you again, lad.

Welcome back.

-Hey, Jason!
-You go, I'll come.

Jason, I wanna talk to you.

-What's wrong?
-Nothing's wrong.

Ike Godsey and Corabeth and
Aimee are off to Doe Hill...

to visit relatives.

And Ike needs someone
to look after the store.

How about you?

-For money?
-Yeah, $2 a day.

Sure. When do I start?

I guess tomorrow.
You better talk to Ike about it.

That sounds good. Thanks.

I was wondering how I was
gonna make extra money.

Yeah. I told him I was
sure you'd wanna do it.

Well, great.

Well, I guess we've just
about covered everything.

-Yeah.
-There's one more thing.

At the end
of each day...

you take the cash
and put it in the safe.

Yeah. How do I get
it out in the morning?

Out of the safe.
What's the combination?

Five.

Five? That's the combination?

Yeah. You just turn it to five.

And don't forget now.
Everything is cash-and-carry.

There's no credit
to any strangers...

and it's important
that you remember that.

-Right.
-I'll be right with you, honey!

Shouldn't be any problem, Ike.

And the key to the store is
under the coffee grinder there.

-Okay.
-And...

Oh, if anything goes wrong
and you want to reach me...

the phone number in Doe Hill's
there in the cash register.

-Okay.
-Alright?

You're looking pretty good.

-Not bad, eh?
-I like that.

-We'll see you now.
-Have a good time.

-Bye. Hi, how are you? Bye.
-Bye.

Can I help you?

We always wanted
to have our own store.

This is not our store.

Well, you're
the manager. Same thing.

-At least, something's for free.
-Nothing is free.

If you think you're gonna load
up candy and stuff, forget it.

Alright, we'll pay.

There.

Cheapskate!

The cabin will
be back here...

so it can get some shade from
these trees in the afternoon.

The front porch
will face this way.

Why?

Because I love to come
out in the morning...

and look at the mountain.

Well, I thought you would love
to come out in the morning

and look at the mountain.

It seems we like all
the same things, Erin.

Chad, why did you come back?

I came back because I fell
in love last summer...

and because I couldn't stay
away from you any longer, Erin.

What are you and Chad
gonna do today?

Go up and work on his land.

Again? If I had a boyfriend

I'd want to do something
more exciting than that.

-Howdy, Mr. Walton.
-Chad.

Look what I found up the road.

I bet you were surprised
to see Chad back.

I sure was.

You think I wasn't surprised
to find out you'd been married?

Thanks for the ride.

Fixed the stone boat for you.

I appreciate that, Mr. Walton.
Let me help you.

-You know how to run these?
-Oh, sure.

-Hitch up the other side, then.
-Right.

This is mighty fine
of you, Mr. Walton.

I thought I'd need
a truck or something.

The men who settled here
didn't have trucks...

they got along fine
with these stone boats.

-Hi, Erin.
-Hi, Mary Ellen.

Is it serious? You and Chad?

I don't know.

Well, something tells me it is.

-Our secret. Okay?
-Okay.

Home, James.

-I thought you came to help.
-I'm going to help.

I'm sitting in here
so it doesn't fly around.

Is that so?

You can stay there
till we get the rocks in...

then you gotta
get off and work.

-Okay. Bye, Daddy.
-Get up there, Blue.

Get up there, Blue!

Get up there. Get up there.

Hey, Mrs. Gormley. Mr. Bingley.

Now, no need
to lift me out, Abel.

Hip bone's all healed,
and I'm good as new.

You forgot your
shopping bag again.

Didn't forget it.
Don't need it.

Here we go. That's it.

There you are. There.

And don't you forget
to wait for me.

-I'll be watering my mules.
-Okay.

So, how are you, Mrs. Gormley?

Oh, not bad,
considering everything.

-Good.
-Where's Ike?

He's up at Doe Hill
for a few days, so...

I'm holding
the store for him.

Oh.

What can I do
for you, Mrs. Gormley?

Well, first off, you can stop
calling me Mrs. Gormley.

-The name's Maude.
-Yes, ma'am.

I'll take 10 packages
of those flower seeds.

Alright. Any particular kind?

No, one's as good as the other.

-I need some paint.
-What color?

I'll take one small can of red
and one small can of yellow...

and a can of blue
and a can of orange.

Ought to brighten
up your house.

Oh, I just dab
around with it.

Will there be
anything else today?

I'll take five cents' worth
of those nice soft gumdrops.

And make them cherry and orange
and hold the licorice.

You don't like licorice?

Make my teeth black.

No man's gonna look at a woman
with black teeth.

-How's the folks?
-Oh, just fine. Thanks.

That's good.

Comes to $2.80.

Put it on my charge account.

Ike didn't say anything
about any charge accounts.

Well, he...

Ike keeps it on a book
back there someplace.

Oh, I'll have
to look for that.

Maude!

Well, there's Abel. Can you
help me out with that, please?

Oh, sure.

Maude, come on.
I haven't got all day.

You're always in such
a confounded hurry!

-Here we go.
-There you go.

There we go.

Oh, me, oh, my.

Well, here you go.

Thank you, Maude.

-Bye-bye, Mr. Bingley.
-Bye.

Hey, brother.

Hey, storekeeper,
how're you doing?

Alright.

I kinda wonder, though.

What does Ike do when people
wanna charge things?

When people wanna charge things,
what does Ike do?

I imagine that depends
on who the person is.

Well, like... Like Maude,
for instance.

Now, he said everything
was cash-and-carry

and no credit to strangers.

Do you think that
goes for Maude?

Well, I don't think so.

He's known Maude all his life,
practically like his grandma.

Yeah.

She charge something already?

Oh, just a few things.

I wouldn't worry about it.

That'll be 60 cents,
cash on the barrelhead.

Hard-hearted merchant.

Thanks. See you later.

-Bye-bye.
-Bye.

Get in there, Blue.
Get in there.

Now, Erin, I thought
you came up here to help.

Well, I did. I loaded
half those rocks.

If you can remember
which ones they were...

would you mind unloading them?

Can't you buy a house ready-made
out of a catalog or something?

Sure. Sure,
we'll hire an airplane

and come in here
and drop it in, no problem.

That's very clever.
Take care of it, will you?

Certainly, dear.
I plan on it.

However, until that time...

we must lay in a foundation
or they will not deliver.

So, one for you...

one for me.

Now, isn't that fun?

-One for you...
-Where's yours?

It's back there. I'm watching
you. Very good.

-One for you.
-Oh, thank you. Why, thank you.

* Could you coo *

* Could you care *

*For a cunning cottage *

*We could share *

* I never had
the least notion *

*That I could fall with *

*So much emotion *

That's all the time
we have for tonight, folks.

This has been music for your
dancing and listening pleasure.

Sent your way from
the Starlight Room...

of the beautiful
Shorecliff Hotel...

overlooking
the Hudson....

-I should go now.
-I guess so.

It's getting late.

-Is your tent cold?
-Freezing.

-Do you need a blanket?
-No, I'll be okay.

-Mr. Walton.
-Hi, Grandpa.

Oh, hello, you two.

Looks like you're stocking
for the winter.

We're going on a picnic.

I haven't seen much
of you two lately.

Well, we're trying to
get Chad's cabin started.

-I hope you get some work done.
-We will.

Looks like Erin's
fallen in love.

It's hard to believe
she's old enough.

When I was seven I fell in love
with my school teacher.

Laura Miller.

She was a magnificent woman.

Skirts, right down
to her ankles.

Chintz curtains.

Shutters.

Shutters are for keeping
the weather out.

You need curtains
inside for looks.

Look, if we've got that
fantastic view out there

you don't need
anything like curtains.

You need the curtains inside
for something pretty.

Well, how about you?
You're pretty.

If you don't put curtains,
you don't get any pop.

-You think so?
-Huh-huh.

-Oh, really?
-Blue and yellow.

-How about pink and purple?
-Over my dead body.

Pink and purple with polka dots
or you don't get pop.

Look out!

-I got it. I got it.
-Okay.

Now. Shutters.

Curtains.

Anything.

Anything you want, Erin,
if you'll just share it with me.

Erin, will you marry me?

-Get your work done?
-Yes, Mama.

-Did you have any lunch?
-Well, sort of.

Mrs. Walton, I wanted to ask you
and Mr. Walton something.

He's out delivering wood, but he
shouldn't be too long now.

That'll be $1.85, all totaled.

Out of $2, here's your change.

Here we go. Thank you.

Well, howdy.

Hello, Maude.
What can I do for you today?

Well, I'll take a dozen more
packages of these flower seeds.

-Alright.
-And I need some more paint.

I'll take a purple and a white
and one of them bright green.

When you get all
this paint put up...

you're gonna have some
mighty colorful walls.

-I like plenty of color.
-Yeah.

-Need anything else today?
-Yeah.

A pound of coffee
and a box of oatmeal.

Alright. Right this way.

That'll be $4.70.

Well, put it
on my charge account.

Oh, hi there, Maude.

It sure is a pleasure to see you
up and running around again.

Takes more than a broken hip
to put me out of circulation.

Yeah. The looks of all those
flower seeds you're buying...

you're planning to have
the prettiest garden...

on the Mountain.

Won't have a flower
on the place.

-Maude!
-There's my taxi.

-Good old Abel.
-Here you go, Maude. Bye-bye.

-So long, Maude. Can you manage?
-Bye.

She's an old darling.

What'd she meant, she won't have
a flower on the place?

She bought
enough flower seeds...

to have the prettiest garden
this side of Charlottesville.

I need some more 10-penny nails.

Excuse me, Grandpa.
Help yourself.

-Godsey's General Store.
-Jason, is that you?

Hello, Ike. How are you?

Oh, I'm just fine.
How's the store going?

Just fine.

-Business good?
-It's been busy.

Well, you know, I just wondered
how things are going.

It's kinda lonely here.

Just a lot of women talking.

I got a question for you, Ike.
It's about credit.

To people that you know,
like Maude Gormley.

Credit to Maude?
Not one cent of credit to her.

What?

Look, I love Maude.

But she has no sense of money.

She gets a good check every
month from her son, Leonard...

and then she squanders it
on flower seed and paint.

And then she runs up a bill
with me. She owes me $20.

No credit. Not a penny.

Yeah. Well, okay.

You know,
I kinda miss the store.

I can imagine.

You sure everything's
alright, now?

-Yeah, yeah, just fine.
-I'll see you in a few days.

-Take your time, Ike.
-Okay.

Bye-bye.

Oh, boy.

Son, looks like
you have some bad news.

-I'm really in a soup, Grandpa.
-Oh?

That was Ike.

He says not for me
to let anybody charge anything

but Maude's already charged
over $7 worth of stuff.

I'm gonna wind
up owing Ike money.

Oh, dear, dear, dear.

-That's a cute one of you.
-That's Ben.

Oh, dear.

-That must be you.
-Hmm-mm.

Mama still has that hair bow
up in the attic.

I would like 10 babies
just like this, please.

Well, how about a dozen?
Or maybe two dozen?

No, no, 10. 10.
I'll settle for 10.

It's a nice even number.

There's Daddy.

Mama, Daddy's here.

Hello, Chad.

Mr. Walton, I wanna talk
to you about something.

You and Mrs. Walton.

Alright.

We want to get married.

Here, sit down.

Have a seat. Sit down.
Sit down, honey.

Let's just have a little talk
about this, shall we?

We've already talked
about it, Daddy.

Not to us, you haven't
talked to us.

Well, we came right here
after we decided.

After you decided
to become engaged?

Well, no, not exactly, ma'am.

We'd like to get married
right away.

Aren't you moving
a little fast?

Among other things, we don't
know very much about you yet.

I'm from Richmond.

Daddy works for
the telegram company...

Mama's a schoolteacher.

I love this mountain.
I love your daughter.

I want to marry her.

Right.

Erin, you're gonna have
to finish school, you know.

I'm not going
back to school.

Oh, yes, you are.

Your mother and me want
all our children...

to finish their education.

I don't need any
more school, Daddy.

I know all I need to know
about being a wife and mother.

You don't know
what you are yet.

I'm 16.

I'm the same age you were, Mama,
when you married Daddy.

And I am a year older than you,
sir, when you got married.

Well, we did get married young.
That's true, you know.

And we do have
a good marriage.

But I'll tell you this...

I wish I had more education
and experience under my belt

before I started
my family...

and I'm sure your mother
feels the same.

It's a whole lot more possible
now than it was for us.

You're a fine young man, son.

I'm afraid Erin's gonna have
to finish school first.

And by that time, you'll know
each other better...

and maybe by then you'll
be ready for marriage.

We'll have
this conversation again.

Then.

John-Boy, I wanna talk to you.

Huh? What is it?

Remember you said Ike wouldn't
mind if I let Maude charge?

-Yeah.
-He minds.

He called up today on the phone.
Said no credit for Maude.

Not a penny.

Did you tell him she already
charged for stuff?

-I didn't have the nerve to.
-Jason.

Well, she was in again today
before Ike called.

She bought more flower seeds
and more paint.

She's run up a bill over $7.

That money's gotta be in the
till before Ike gets back.

I told him I'd take the
responsibility for everything.

But you should have told him
that she charged stuff.

It wouldn't have helped.
It was too late.

Maybe.

-Somebody's gotta tell Maude.
-Yeah, I know. I'll do it.

Can you imagine telling
a sweet old lady like that...

she's gotta cough up $7?

And 70 cents.

Don't worry about it.

Thanks.

Erin?

What's the matter?
Did Chad leave?

No.

Mama and Daddy won't
let us get married.

Oh, John-Boy, I could just die.

-I know how you feel.
-No, you don't.

John-Boy, I love Chad
and no one understands.

I do.

I felt that way.

About Jenny?

Yeah.

John-Boy, this isn't
just puppy love.

Well, neither was that, Erin.

But you lost Jenny.

John-Boy, I don't
want to lose Chad.

Erin...

Jenny had to go away.

See, and I had to stay.

So we couldn't be together,
and we couldn't see each other.

So the feeling didn't stay as
strong as it was at the first.

And that'll happen to us, too.

No, it doesn't have
to happen to you.

Chad's gonna be right here,
waiting for you.

But he's ready now, John-Boy.

He's got his land
and he's building a house...

and he's ready to take
up his life now.

And he's gonna want a woman
who's ready now, too.

Oh, John-Boy, I lost him once
because I was too young...

and I don't want
it to happen again.

I know.

Erin, I think, pretty much...

you get what you
want out of life.

Pretty much.

And I think if you
two want to be married...

then you'll be able
to make it work.

If not now, then later.

But what if something happens?

What if he has to go away?

Even for a little bit?

He'll forget about me.
I know he will.

Look, John-Boy, what if you
had been married to Jenny?

Well, you could
have gone with her.

Or she could have stayed
here with you.

And then you wouldn't
have lost her.

Jenny and I didn't
get married...

because we were too
young to get married.

And I think you're too young
to get married, Erin.

You see? You're just
like everyone else.

You think it's just
a childish infatuation.

-Erin, I think...
-But it's not, John-Boy!

It's not gonna go away because
Mama and Daddy say it should!

Maybe, we'll just
go to Reverend Fordwick...

and get married anyway!

I hope, Erin...

that Chad won't marry you...

without Mama
and Daddy's permission.

You see? Everyone's against us!

No one's against you, Erin.

If you want to go to school,
you better hurry up.

Aren't we going
to wait for Erin?

I'd like to get
there before recess.

-Bye, Mama.
-Bye, Jim-Bob.

-Bye-bye.
-Bye, Elizabeth.

-I saved some breakfast for you.
-I'm not hungry, Mama.

Aren't you going
to take your lunch?

I don't want any.

Bye, Erin.

They're never going
to change their minds.

Maybe if I talk to them alone,
I could do something.

I don't think it'll work.

I'll be going to school and
you'll be working on your cabin.

We'll never get
to see each other.

It's not fair.

Erin, if we just can't wait,
then we just won't wait.

The morning light drifted down
from the mountain...

warming away the pockets of
gray mist lying in the hollows.

The dawn of a new day...

did not bring a happy awakening
for my sister.

The disappointment was still
there, an aching heart...

which not even
the cheerful sounds...

in the family kitchen
could assuage.

John-Boy? You busy?

Well, I was. What do you want?

-Sorry.
-It's alright.

I gotta go open the store.
Are you gonna see Maude?

I'm going to see
her first thing.

I'd hate for her
to come in again today

with a shopping list,
figuring to charge...

I'm gonna see her.
I told you I was going to!

You don't have
to snap my head off.

You don't have to
keep bothering me about it.

-I'm going to see her, Jason.
-I'm sorry.

I'm going to see her.

You sure you won't back out?

I want to marry you.
You know that.

Alright. Alright.

I'll be by tonight,
about midnight.

Make sure the
whole house is dark...

because John-Boy
could be up writing.

Well, you just be awake
and be ready to go.

-I'll be ready.
-Alright.

-Well?
-Well...

I'm kind of embarrassed about
what I've got to say here but...

I come here with a purpose,
so I'll get to the point.

I understand that
you owe $7.70 at Ike's store.

More than that.

Well, I mean since
Jason went to work there.

Anyway, Ike told Jason
that you're...

not supposed to have
any more credit.

Oh, he's always saying that.

Well, I'm afraid the
way I understand it...

if you can't pay
the $7.70...

it's going to have to come
out of Jason's pocket or mine.

You boys don't have
that kind of money, do you?

-No, ma'am. We don't.
-Neither do I.

And I don't get my check
from my son, Leonard...

for two or three weeks.

And I don't have anything
that's worth anything in money.

I guess I'll have
to explain it to Ike...

No. No charity.

Now, wait a minute.

Maybe I do have something
that could be turned into money.

-You just come with me.
-Alright.

Well? What do you think?

Well, Maude.

I dabble in painting.
Birds, mostly.

Maude, you never told us
anything about this.

Oh, they don't amount to much,
but I did get $2 for one, once

from a salesman
that came to the door.

He said they were primitive.

When I found out what it meant,
I was kind of mad

but I kept the $2 anyway.

Well...

So, what do you do?
You feed the birds here, Maude?

Oh, yes.

They just love
these flower seeds.

And I scatter
them all around...

and the wild birds
come from far and wide...

and they build a nest.

-Isn't it wonderful?
-It sure is.

Maude, these are absolutely
beautiful.

I'll bet if you put
these up in Ike's store...

that people would buy them.

You think so?

Sure they would.
I'm sure they would.

You'd make enough money
to pay off the debt.

You'd probably have
some left over for yourself.

Well, they can't
shoot us for trying.

No, they sure can't.

Elizabeth! Do you have
to come plowing in here?

It's my room, too.
What're you doing?

Oh, I'm just sorting
out some clothes.

-You going someplace?
-Now, where would I be going?

I don't know.

Don't tell anybody
about this, you hear?

I won't.

I just got restless
over there, you know?

All the women, and they were
talking and talking and talking

and so I finally told
Corabeth and Aimee...

-Wait, who's paying for those?
-You are.

Oh, okay.

I just told Corabeth and Aimee
to stay there for a while...

and I'd come back to the store,
where I belong, huh?

I'm glad to have
you back, Ike.

I guess you found out that
running a store is not so easy?

Jason! What on earth are these?

Oh, Maude Gormley
brought those in.

Thought maybe we
could sell them.

Who'd buy them?

A fellow was in here just before
you came. A book salesman.

He bought two
of them, $5 a piece.

$5?

No.

Quiet.

You only needed enough
for one night, Erin.

You could've come
back tomorrow.

I don't think I'm ever going
to be able to come back.

Oh, Erin.

Come on. Help me push.

Erin? Erin Walton?

Good evening, Reverend Caldwell.

-Good evening.
-May we come in?

Yes, of course.
Come in. Sit down.

Thank you.

This is Chad Marshall.

-How do you do?
-How do you do, sir?

The daughter of Baptists...

coming to see
the Methodist minister?

Is something wrong, Erin?

Well, we wanted you
to marry us, sir.

Erin, do your parents
know about this?

This has nothing
to do with them.

I'm the one
who's getting married.

But they don't
want you to marry...

or you'd be seeing
Reverend Fordwick...

and it wouldn't be
in the middle of the night.

Well, they just haven't
gotten used to the idea yet.

Once we're married,
they'll change their minds.

You're under 18.
You'll need their signatures.

But that's not fair!

I want to help you by
not allowing you to marry...

without your parents' knowledge.

But we'll tell them
afterwards...

Erin, never mind. Never mind.

We can get somebody else
to do it. Come on.

Thank you, Reverend.

And then he said, "Erin, never
mind. Somebody else will do it."

He might have meant the justice
of peace over in Rockfish.

That'd be Andrew Farrell.

Alright, Reverend.
Thank you very much.

-Call me if I can help.
-Thanks.

I thought she
was asleep.

She was, when I looked
in about 10:00.

We better get on over there.

I'll wait and keep the family
calm before you get back.

Alright, son.

That's it. Young lady, if you'll
just sign the next line.

You'd better hurry it up or I'll
be sound asleep on my feet.

It's my fault. I just
wouldn't listen to her.

We listened to her
and we gave an answer.

Obviously, it wasn't
the right one.

Liv, Erin has known from the
time she was in first grade

we expected her
to finish high school.

We told her. We didn't
ask her, we just told her.

She is only 16 years old.

That's exactly how old I was
when my parents didn't approve.

It didn't stop me.

Olivia, you are thinking
like a child now.

Anybody would think
that I of all people...

would understand how Erin feels.

Alright, well, I think
you got it all.

Where do we stand
for the ceremony?

Right there'll be fine.

Don't we need any witnesses
or something?

Yeah, I'm the witness.

I'm sure you're just interested
in the legal part.

Most folks usually are...

when they're getting married
in the middle of the night.

Here it is.

"Dearly beloved... Gathered
here...

"Presence of these witnesses..."

Oh, yeah. Here...

"Do you..."

"Erin Walton...

"take this man to be
your lawful wedded husband

"to love, honor and obey,
till death do you part?"

You're supposed
to say "I do" here.

No!

Oh, I can't, Chad.
Not like this!

Oh, Erin.

Erin, it's alright.

It's alright. It's okay.

Is there somewhere
that we could talk, please?

I'll make some coffee.

Wish they'd make
their minds up before

they come disturbing people
in the middle of the night.

You can talk in here.

But please don't take
too long. It's late.

We'll just need a minute. I'm
very sorry about all of this.

-She was wearing curlers!
-I know, Erin.

-He was mumbling and yawning.
-I know.

This wasn't like
I thought it would be.

It's okay. It's alright.

Oh, I knew it wouldn't be
as beautiful

as Mary Ellen's wedding

and there wouldn't be any
flowers or anything, but...

Oh, it was so ugly.

It was.

Your wedding's supposed to be
something you can look back on

and feel good about.

Well, I'd hate it.

I understand, Erin.
It's alright.

It's Chad's car, alright.

Now who's that?

You better ask who
it is, Andrew.

-Who is it?
-We're looking for our daughter.

Her name is Erin Walton.

Yeah, she's in there with that
young man, Chad Marshal.

We're not married, Daddy.

-Erin.
-Mama.

-Come on.
-Come on, son.

Erin came home
and finished high school,

and spent most of her free time
helping Chad build his cabin.

And a fine cabin it was, built
with careful, loving hands

and sitting proud on the land,
with a front porch

facing the mountain.

Jason ran the store, and he
never even gave us a handout.

It was Ike's store, not mine.

He wouldn't even
give us a jelly bean.

If I had a store, I'd let all my
friends have everything free.

You'd be out of business
in a week.

That's why I'd do it.
I'd hate to run a store.

You're crazy, Elizabeth!

Close up the store
and go to sleep.

Goodnight, everyone.
