Previously
on when calls the heart...

Charles? It's so wonderful
to see you again.

You as well.

Is there
something wrong?

You tell me, mr. Avery.

What happened to bill?

He's married, with a child.

Tom thornton,

At your service.

Will we be
seeing you again?

No, I'm leaving hamilton
in the morning.

Jack!

How was the big city?

A change of pace.

Well, I'm sure

You and elizabeth
are glad--

Oh--

Pardon me.

No elizabeth?

Her mother's
still not doing well.

I'm so sorry.

What does her doctor say?
Will she recover?

Well, it's too soon to know.

I'll keep her in my prayers.

And elizabeth, too.

Lots of changes
since the trial.

All for the best.

And a new name, too.

Hope valley.

Hope valley.

It fits.

Maybe this isn't
a good time

To bring this up,

But school's
about to start,

And if elizabeth isn't
going to return,

Well then, we'll need
to find a new teacher.

You're right.

This isn't a good time
to bring it up.

Remember this?

How could I forget?

It took you
half an hour to carve,

And you nearly
cut off your thumb.

I was only nine at the time.

And very impressive.

Especially when you said,

"as long as
these letters endure,

So shall our friendship."

I said that?

Mm-hmm.

What a poet I was.

And a prophet.

Here we are,
after all these years.

Some things are meant
to endure.

Still the poet.

But even better.

I still have my thumb.

[laughing]

Charles!

[♪]

Mother, did dr. Clement
leave already?

Yes, it was a short visit.

What did he say?

The same as always.

Make sure I take my medication
and get plenty of rest.

Honestly, I don't know why
I even bother with that man.

I should help you to your room.

Oh, no, I'm fine, darling.

I'd like to stay and read
a while longer.

Well, is there anything
I can do for you?

As a matter of fact,
there is.

Cecile kensington
is chairing an event

For the charity league,

And I promised I would help.

If you could--

Take a basket to the shelter?

Mm-hmm.

Charles already
volunteered to drive me.

He is such a dear.

To say nothing of the fact
that he is quite handsome.

And comes from
a wonderful family.

Goodness, mother,
if I didn't know any better,

I might think father had
something to worry about.

How you tease your mother...

[laughing]

Fellows, fellows, please.

Look, I can't make
any guarantees,

But my goal is to find jobs

For each and every one of you.

My trade is mining.

I don't know the first thing
about timber.

Well, we'll train you then.

As soon as the mill
is up and running,

Any one of you fellows who used
to work for the mining company

Will get first crack
at any job

My foremen can teach you to do.

All right?

Tell that to these fellows.

We've got a right to work
for a day's wage, same as you.

Okay, fellows,
take it easy.

Everyone here is going
to get a fair chance.

Now, form a line.

Single file.

Any arguing, you go
straight to the back.

I appreciate
the help, constable.

Just doing my job.

Leland coulter.

Lee,

And if there's anything I can do
to return the favor,

Please let me know.

Actually, I could use a hand

Getting the church
building finished.

The school term starts soon.

So if you could spare
a few men, I'd be grateful.

Done.

And I'll be there myself.

I like your attitude.

Well, thank you.

I came to hope valley
to make a profit,

But if I can,

I'd like to
make a difference, too.

Fair enough.

Let's go, young man.

I think you should
wear your hair up.

And I just bought
a splendid new hat

I can lend you.

Julie, please.

I'm just going to drop off
a charity basket with charles,

Not attend a society ball.

It must be so exciting

To have two men
pining over you.

I don't know where you get
these crazy notions.

No one is pining over me.

You kissed jack,

And I'm sure
if you gave charles

The least bit
of encouragement...

Don't you have anything
more important to think about?

Well, as a matter of fact,
I do.

I received a letter
from an admirer.

Would you like to know
who it is?

No, but I suppose

You're going
to tell me anyway.

Tom thornton.

He says he'd like
to see me.

I really don't think
that's a good idea.

Why not?

Because he's dangerous?

You don't know
anything about him.

I think he's just...
Misunderstood.

And I suppose
mr. Tolliver,

Who robbed a bank

And held you hostage
at gunpoint

Was also
"just misunderstood"?

Well, that was different.

This is jack's brother.

Yes, and he's also the
black sheep of the family.

He said so himself.

Don't you want me to be happy?

Of course I do,

But there are
a lot of other men out there

Who will make you happy
besides tom.

I can't imagine who.

Please, promise me
you won't see him.

Just think.

If I were to marry tom,
and you were to marry jack,

Well, we'd be sisters-in-law
as well as sisters.

Now then,

Just make sure you check in
on mother while I'm out.

Are you sure
I can't go with you?

[sighs]

How about this...

Once father gets home,

You and I can go into town
for a concert at st. James hall.

Could we?

Oh, that would be
completely divine.

I just love musicians,
don't you?

They're so...

Bohemian.

I better find something to wear.

Something avant-garde.

Ooh! Maybe a head scarf!

Where is she going?

To marry a musician.

Bite your tongue.

You know, it's really
so much nicer

When you put the napkin
in the glass

Like a fan.

Voila.

[chuckling]

Rosemary, I really appreciate
you volunteering to help,

But I hate to impose
on your time like this.

Oh, it's no trouble at all.

I know how busy you are

With all
the new workers in town.

[gasps]

And I was thinking today
we should make corn muffins

Instead of biscuits.

But we should
charge more.

They're really
so much better than--

Than what?

Than the run of the mill
biscuits served...

By other people.

Oh, constable,

We're not
actually open yet.

Thank you, rosemary,

But I'm here
on a personal matter.

I'll start the oven.

Don't mind me.

I wanted to let you know
I received a telegram.

There's a criminal
investigation back east,

And the mounties need an expert.

And I suppose
that expert is you.

I won't be gone long.

Just a week or so.

Well, you know what they say,

Absence makes the heart
grow fonder.

[chuckles]

Well, are we talking about
your heart or mine?

A little of both, I hope.

The stage is due
in less than an hour.

I don't believe in
saying goodbye anymore.

Good.

Then let's leave it at this.

Abigail!

Where do you keep
your baking so--

Oh.

Never mind,

Ooh, found it!

Right here.

Under my nose all along.

Ooh, I like the looks
of this place.

New buildings and fresh paint

Mean cash in people's pockets.

And cash in people's pockets
means cash in our pockets,

And to that I say...

"amen."

Not the bibles again.

A man can make a good living
selling bibles.

Especially when he never
places the order.

Exactly

Give me a hand
with that case.

Would you be
more careful with those?

Oh!

Oh, thank heavens

You're here.

Ma'am?

We received your telegram,

But with the flood
near union city

We had no idea
when you'd arrive.

You heard we were coming here?

Of course.

And we're so glad
you were available.

Reverend anderson had to
leave town quickly.

I'm afraid he left us
high and dry...

In the spiritual sense, that is.

[chuckles awkwardly]

Oh, constable thornton,
look who's arrived.

Our new pastor,
frank hogan.

Nice to meet you, reverend.

A pleasure.

And he's brought bibles
for our church.

I never go anywhere
without the good book.

Oh.

Now, I'm afraid the parsonage
isn't ready yet,

So you will have to stay
in the boarding house

Over the saloon.

Yes, unfortunately,
the church isn't ready either.

Don't worry about us.

We're just humble folks
of the cloth.

Look, as
the good book says,

Rome wasn't built
in a day.

I'm paraphrasing,
of course.

[laughs]

What my daddy
means to say is,

Who needs a building

When it's what's in here
that counts.

Oh, what a lovely girl.

What's your name, dear?

Annabelle.

After the saint.

I didn't know there was
a saint annabelle.

What she means to say

Is that she was named after
her saintly mother,

God rest her soul.

Well, it seems you're
making yourself comfortable.

Oh, do come in.

Well, I bought up
about half the town

When your bosses
pulled up stakes,

Including everything
you see in this room

That used to be
in your office,

If I'm not mistaken.

But you're not here to talk
about the good old days,

Are you?

Let's talk about
doing business together.

Yeah, I never was quite sure
what you meant by that.

No one knows this valley
the way that I do.

It would seem to me

That you could use
a consultant on your payroll

Just to make sure
that things run...

Smoothly.

Here's how I see things.

The mining company
is out of business,

Done,

And pretty much
everybody in town,

Right down to constable
thornton's bloodhound,

Seems to think that you're worse
than the devil himself.

No offense, mr. Gowen,

But no,

I don't want you
anywhere near me.

You don't want me
as an enemy, either.

I'm prepared
to take my chances.

Suit yourself.

Maybe you could be a little
more careful next time.

Accidents happen.

I'd keep that in mind,
if I were you.

This is quite generous,
mrs. Thatcher.

My mother will be
very grateful.

Please give her my best.

I would take it myself,

But that charlatan of a doctor

Has forbidden me
from leaving the house.

I'm sorry to hear
he hasn't been more helpful.

I hope you don't
find this presumptuous,

But I have an acquaintance
from university

Who is considered
a brilliant physician.

I was wondering
if a second medical opinion

Might be advisable?

Well, I wouldn't want
to impose.

I think it's
a wonderful idea,

If it isn't
too much to ask.

Not at all.

I'll call him
right away.

You are too kind.

Charles!

How nice to see you.

Viola.

I haven't
noticed you

At any of the
social events lately.

Sir lionel and I
were just saying

That we're worried
you've given up

On the pleasures
of society.

I'm afraid

I've been a bit
consumed by work lately.

We're having
dinner

At the regency
on Sunday.

Perhaps you and
elizabeth can join us.

Please don't
feel obliged.

I know you're
very busy with work.

In fact, I just
happen to be free.

What a happy
coincidence.

Are you sure there
isn't anything

You need from us
before we go?

No.

I have julie
to take care of me.

Just shoo, all of you.

[laughs]

Isn't that the scarf

I gave you
on your birthday?

Now, how did that
get in there?

Is that
your way of saying

That you didn't like it?

This is
my way of saying,

I like it so much,

I want to share it
with someone in need.

Make sure you get
those boards flush.

Travis, careful not to
make it too narrow.

Lee!

Yeah.

I can't thank you enough
for loaning out your men.

Happy to help.

New pastor
needs a church.

The kids deserve
a real school, right?

-Right.
-Okay.

Where do you want
this stuff, jack?

Just lay it over there.

Okay.

So, jack,

If that's all
for today,

I'll see you
back here tomorrow.

Okay?

How are you today, mary?

Ah, that boy

Is a goner.

He is head over heels
in love with a woman.

Just like you.

Now, where would you get
an idea like that?

From everyone in town,

Saying this is why

You were spending
your reward money,

And now your time,

Building this place.

Education is important
for the future of hope valley.

Really.

You may be sellin', young man,
but I'm not buyin'.

Not buyin'.

Good story, though.

Three orders
of roasted chicken

And mashed potatoes.

I hope you saved me
a piece of that apple pie.

I'm afraid we just ran out.

Makes no never mind.

The only dessert a fella needs
is an eyeful of you.

Don't you be
getting fresh

With mrs. Stanton.

Maybe you should mind
your own business.

It is my business.

No!

Don't you dare.

[sighs in disgust]

All right, boys, listen up.

I don't know where
you left your manners,

But when you're in my cafe,
you will act like gentlemen.

So the first thing
you're going to do

Is take your sidearms

And leave them
at the front door.

Come on, now,
let's get going.

And from now on,
when you're in my cafe,

You will say
please and thank you,

Like it's Sunday supper.

And if you don't,
you will go home hungry.

Now, have I made myself clear?

Yes, ma'am.

Very good.

Say grace

And eat up before
your dinner gets cold.

So, if I understand
what you're saying,

It's the pills
that are the problem

And not her heart?

Her fainting spells
began last January,

When she started taking
the medication.

It's more than
mere coincidence.

But dr. Clement
gave her those pills

To help her.

Usually,
they do help.

However, in rare cases,

They cause a severe drop
in blood pressure--

Which causes
the fainting spells.

Precisely.

I'm going to switch her
to a different medicine.

She'll be on the mend
before you know it.

Dr. Lyden,
I am so grateful that you came.

Think nothing of it.

And please, ring me
if you need anything.

I'll wait in the car.

How can I ever thank you

For all you've done
for my family?

Let's have dinner tonight.

Just the two of us.

I would love that,
really, I would,

But I should probably stay here,
just in case.

Father isn't due
until the morning,

And julie and viola
are calling on the wellingtons.

Then...

We'll picnic right here
on the floor.

But a formal picnic.

White tie, of course.

[laughs]

What will the servants think?

That we're two old friends

Who don't care at all about
what anyone else has to say.

[chuckles]

Hmm.

Miss leveaux,

That is a mighty
tempting basket

You have there.

Mrs. Stanton insisted

I bring something
for the new reverend,

Though I do worry about
leaving her with all that work

At the cafe.

She didn't seem concerned.

If those cookies
are for pastor hogan,

You can save yourself the trip.

I just delivered a basket.

Florence blakeley,

I do believe you've taken
a shine to the new reverend.

Not at all.

I'm just doing my job

As head of the pastoral
search committee.

No one ever brought
cookies for me

When I first
came to town.

You're not a man of the cloth.

No, no, I'm not,

But I still like sweet things.

Mr. Coulter...

[giggles]

Are you flirting with me?

Tell you what...

How about I buy
those cookies off you

As a donation to the new church?

They're very expensive.

I have a feeling

Everything about you
is very expensive.

But worth it.

I have no doubt.

I never thought
I'd see the day

That charles kensington iii

Would eat dinner
with his fingers.

I've never tried
fried chicken before.

It's my friend
abigail's recipe.

You prepared it?

Oh, no, no, elsa made it.

But I have become
a much better cook.

Why do you
need to cook

When there are people
to do it for you?

[sighs]

Sometimes, it's about
the little things, charles.

We don't always need
people to do things for us.

You always were
a revolutionary,

And I do
admire you for it.

It's just...

Such a shame you're so far away.

That's part of the challenge.

I need to know that
I can take care of myself.

Is that what this adventure
has been about?

It's been about
a lot of things, really.

Mostly, finding out answers
about myself.

Sometimes, we spend so much time
searching for the answers,

We don't realize they can be
right under our nose.

I remember one winter
when I was about,

Oh, 10 years old.

It was a very
cold winter,

And we ran out
of firewood.

We had to
use straw instead.

We tied it into
these little sticks,

And sticks, they don't
burn very long.

So, I vowed right
then and there,

That I was never going to
run out of firewood again.

And now I own
a whole mountain of it.

I love a story
with a happy ending.

I fee like I'm doing
all the talking, though.

Listening
is the best way to learn

About the human experience.

And it's part of my homework
as a performer.

So, what brought you
out west, then?

Where the biggest applause
you're going to get

Is from prairie dogs
and antelope?

Well, personal reasons.

Ah...

Does the fellow
have a name?

I didn't say
anything about a man.

You didn't have to.

Ah, constable thornton,
can I get you a drink?

No thanks.

Now, don't tell me

You've spent the entire day
working on that school house?

Actually, that's exactly
what I've been doing.

It's a real labor
of love, isn't it?

In more ways than one.

Miss leveaux here was
just about to tell me

What brought her to hope valley,

And I have my suspicions
it was an affair of the heart.

Well, I would be eager to hear
the latest version.

Well, I would be happy
to tell you both,

But I am needed
at the cafe.

Abigail is simply
lost without me,

And I mustn't let her down.

Wow.

I would love
to figure that woman out.

Good luck with that.

You're the reason
she came out here, aren't you?

Ancient history.

[knock on door]

Oh, I'm sorry,

We don't open
for another 20 minutes.

Are you mrs. Stanton?

Yes.

I understand you've been
spending quite a bit of time

With bill avery.

I'm sorry, I...

Is he here?

Constable avery left town
this morning on business.

Are you a friend of his?

Friend?

Hardly.

I'm his wife.

Nora avery.

Mrs. Avery,
I can assure you,

I did not know
that he was married.

I would think
the wedding ring

Would have given it away.

He wasn't wearing a ring
when we met.

I don't know what kind of game
you think you're playing,

Mrs. Stanton,

But there are laws

That govern
this sort of behavior.

Alienation of
affection, for one.

I think you should go now.

If my husband
comes back here,

I assume you'll do
the honorable thing.

And tell him that
I was looking for him?

If he dares show his face here,

I will have plenty to tell him.

Good night.

That's far enough.

You got the merchandise?

I hope your clients
find the work acceptable.

Aunt agatha!

What a pleasant surprise.

I thought I'd stop in
to see your mother,

And I am so glad to see
she is on the mend.

Ooh, have you
been shopping?

I have.

I found some pastels
for the children

That I can't get
in coal valley.

School's starting
again very soon.

Frontier life
must be exhilarating...

Though I suppose there are
certain activities

That might wear thin
after a while,

Frog jumping contests,

Or who could eat the most pie.

[julie giggles]

It's really isn't
like that at all.

No, there are outlaws
and bandits.

I was kidnapped
and held at gunpoint.

Is this true?

Actually, it's very civilized.

We have ice cream socials
and Friday night literaries.

Literaries. Hmm.

Have either of you read
the latest d.H. Lawrence novel?

[laughs] aunt agatha!

I'm surprised
you read d.H. Lawrence.

I hear his novels
are rather scandalous.

My dear,

Scandalous is what gets me
out of bed in the morning.

I love a good romance.

I would love
to be the lead

In one of those novels.

To live the life
of the femme fatale,

Pursued by men who are dark,
and handsome, and mysterious.

Or you could just
take up needlepoint?

It looks like
you're making progress.

Slowly but surely.

Did you stop by to help?

[chuckles]

I think you two
are more than capable.

Rip runs
a pretty tight ship.

Can you pass me
that hammer?

I'm sure elizabeth
will be thrilled

To be out of the saloon
and back into a classroom.

She's been
a good sport about it.

She certainly has
"long-suffering schoolmarm"

Written all over her.

I don't envy her situation...

Torn between her family
and her new life here.

She's not torn.

Once her mother's
health improves,

She'll come back.

Of course.
I just mean

Families have a way
of luring you back in.

Well, and let's be honest,

City life does have
its charms.

So does hope valley.

I'll leave you to your work.

And don't forget
we have a meeting later.

We're going to raise
money for the church.

Our town really is coming alive,
don't you think?

A school, a church,

A sawmill...

A timber tycoon

In need of
female companionship.

I hadn't noticed.

I'm sure we can come
to an understanding.

There's not a lot
to understand, silas.

You owe me a substantial
amount of money,

And it's time
to repay that debt.

I can't lay my hands
on that kind of cash.

Not all at once.

We could always
let the court decide

How you're going to make good
on your obligations,

But then, there would likely
be discovery of transactions

Made with public funds
during your tenure.

They could implicate
you as well.

Silas, please.

No one has ever been able
to implicate me in anything.

It may, however,
be a different story for you,

As mayor.

Henry, I don't have the money.

So unless you want
a pound of flesh...

I don't think
it needs to come to that.

By the way, how is your health?

I do hope we have
enough refreshments.

People always give
more generously

When they have
a glass of lemonade

And a slice of pie.

Abigail, is there
something wrong?

Oh, I'm fine.

I just haven't heard from clara
since the trial,

And she said she would write
when she got back to hamilton.

Is that all?

Yes.

No, it isn't.

[sighs]

It's bill avery.

Ah, the perfect suitor.

Except for one little thing.

Which is?

He has a wife.

[gasps] no.

Yes.

And half of me is furious
and the other half...

Well, the cad got
under your skin.

Oh, that low-life.

You know,
this happened to me once.

I had just finished a run
of "the yankee prince"

On broadway.

Well, the lying cheat
courted me for a month

Before I found out
he was married.

What did you do?

Gave that scoundrel
a black eye.

But I kept the jewelry.

Well, I didn't get a chance

To give the scoundrel
a black eye

Because he skipped town.

And I didn't get any jewelry.

Oh my dear.

Never commit your heart
unless there's jewelry.

I'll keep that in mind
for next time.

Well, I'm glad I could be
of some help.

You know, I really am enjoying
our little heart to heart chats.

You know, so am I.

[clearing throat]

Now, before we ask you
to open your hearts

And your wallets,

Perhaps our new pastor

Would like to say a few words.

Of course.

Delicious.

Dearly beloved,

We are gathered here
to raise funds

For our church programs.

Still waters run deep,

And so do deep pockets.

Dig deep in those pockets
and give.

Onward, christian soldiers.

Amen.

[applause]

Now, let's
get down to business.

I am pleased
to announce

That mr. Lee coulter

Has already
bought a basket

Of my delicious
homemade cookies

For a $10 donation

To our church programs.

And I will pledge
another 20

If you'll agree
to accompany me

To the ice cream social
on Saturday night.

[chuckles]

I'll consider it

For 25.

Done.

[laughs]

[applause]

Five dollars will pay
for a child's choir robe.

There's going to be
a children's choir?

That's a wonderful idea.

Let's not get ahead
of ourselves now.

Why don't we start off
with donations of $2

For hymnals and bibles
just to start.

If I could have
everybody's attention.

I have an announcement
to make.

Last night,

I asked mary dunbar here
to be my wife,

And she said yes.

[applause and cheers]

Congratulations.

We would be honored
if pastor hogan would marry us,

If that's all right.

Of course
that's all right.

The fee is $5.

That'll be the best $5
I'll ever spend.

But the thing is, folks,

We don't even
have a church yet here.

You can marry them
right here, daddy.

That's a wonderful idea.

We wouldn't need much.

It doesn't need
to be fancy.

We're simple folk.

It will be simple,
but it will be perfect.

Now, don't
you two lovebirds

Worry about a thing.

I will take care of
all the details.

I'll just have to tell abigail

That I won't be able
to help out in the cafe

Because of all this extra
responsibility.

I'm sure abigail will find a way
to muddle through without you.

Oh.

I didn't think
you'd come.

Your note said
it was urgent.

Is everything all right?

I thought
you might have

Gotten the wrong
impression of me,

And I didn't want to start out
on the wrong foot.

You thought
I'd think less of you

Because of the fight at the bar?

See, that's the thing.
It really wasn't a fight.

Just a couple of fellows
horsing around is all.

I knew if you were
with constable thornton,

It couldn't be anything bad.

Can I see you again?

I don't see why not.

Well, I'm glad to see
you're not a teetotaler.

Well, the way I see it,

Jesus turned water
into wine for a reason.

I like your style, pastor.
The next round's on me.

Greatly appreciated

I take it this'll be your
first wedding in a saloon?

It will,

But what could be better?

The union of a man
and a woman,

And the union of a man
and his barstool,

All under one roof.

[laughs]

Here we go.

$232.

That's a lot of bibles.

Hard-earned, too.

Even with the settlement
from the mining company,

The widows have to be careful
with what they spend.

Widows?

But we're strong.

And generous.

So you order those bibles,
and hymnals,

And choir robes.

Whoa. Um...

Well, maybe we should
just use half of the money.

The good book always says

It's a smart thing
to save for a rainy day.

There's no sense
procrastinating,

If you're aiming
to get things done.

Yeah, we're making
good progress

On the church.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I'll leave the decision
in your capable hands, pastor.

I'm sure if you pray
for guidance,

You'll know
just what to do with the money.

Indeed.

Indeed.

The chateaubriand
was just delicious.

Even better than I remember.

Well, here, try a spoonful
of cherries jubilee.

Oh, I couldn't.

I insist.

Oh, my goodness.

That is heaven on earth.

Do you remember
the last time we were here

And we played that wicked
prank on your aunt?

And what prank was that?

We took all of the spoons
off the waiter's cart

And hid them
in aunt agatha's umbrella.

You can only imagine
how horrified she was

When she opened it
in front of the coat-check room.

They nearly arrested her
for stealing the silver.

You two are très incorrigible.

I'm sure you have plenty
of mischievous stories

About viola.

No, not really.

Well, we had
a very strict governess.

She came from a little burg
just south of zurich...

Oh, yes,
frau bustenhaller.

I can still smell
the cod liver oil on her breath.

As I was saying,

One morning,

After our
history lesson,

I hid her reading glasses.

It took her ages to find them.

She was completely miffed.

How positively wicked
of you, my darling.

It was terribly
naughty, I know.

Are there
any more secrets

I need to know
about you?

You'll have the rest
of your life to find out.

Viola...

Is there anything
you wish to share with us?

Well...

I know it's a secret,

And we're not supposed to
announce it yet,

But I just have to
say something,

Or I'll burst.

Sir lionel and I
are engaged to be married.

Congratulations!

I'm so happy for you.

I'd say this calls for a toast.

Waiter, a bottle
of champagne, please.

Miss leveaux,
it looks fantastic.

I guess beautiful people know
how to make things beautiful.

Well, it's just
what I do.

There's no official
announcement yet,

But I heard
he'll be resigning tomorrow.

Any idea why?

Something about
his health.

Sorry,
who's resigning?

Mayor ramsey.

Really?

Who's taking his place?

The town by-laws state

That the president of
the town council

Serves as interim mayor
until the next election.

And who heads
the council?

I do.

Of course you do.

I cannot express to you

How much I am looking forward
to being your mayor.

Good evening.

Okay.

You all set
to tie the noose?

Noose?

He means "knot."

Paraphrasing, of course.

I'm ready.

Okay, good, good.

I am so nervous.

I was nervous
at my wedding, too.

In fact, I forgot
to say "I do"

When the reverend
asked me.

And what did you say?

I said "I think so."

[laughing]

[playing "the wedding March"]

[♪]

Please, be seated.

Dearly beloved,

We are gathered here today

To see whether a marriage
can endure

The slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune.

So if anyone
has objections

To this state
of the union,

They may speak now
or forever hold--

I have an objection.

And who are you?

I think the real question here
is who are you?

The pastor frank hogan.

Really?

Because I'm pastor frank hogan,

I don't think
you're a real pastor at all.

Really?

He's not
a real pastor?

This is not
a real wedding?

Not until I pronounce
you man and wife--

Which I will do...

As long as you promise to love,
honor, and obey each other

Till death do you part.

I do.

So do I.

Well, kiss the bride.

Okay.

[everyone sighs in delight]

I have a new dad.

[applause and cheers]

You two aren't going anywhere.

I think you
should lock him up

And throw away the key.

I agree, florence,

But that would leave
annabelle without a father,

And that doesn't
seem right.

Well, we could shoot him...

[everyone gasps]

Or we could
pray for him,

Since there's
no one among us

That doesn't need forgiveness.

I've been telling him

This is no way to raise
an innocent child.

[jack]: Okay, folks,
here's what we're going to do.

First, you are going to
return all the money

That you have taken
from these people,

Then I'm going to send
your picture

With the words
"con artist"

To every town within
a hundred miles of here.

Fair enough?

That's more than
kind, constable.

He'll turn over
a new leaf, I promise.

Thank you.

Well, this has been
a wonderful evening.

Dear elizabeth.

I hope someday you will be
as happy as we are.

If that's at all possible.

Oh, I'm sure
it's very possible.

A toast...

To true love.

To true love...

[laughter and talking]
