Original subtitles

Mom, Sully, Robert E. and Miss Grace.

Come on in, folks. Robert E.

Oh, you wouldn't believe what it's like in town.

Oh, people coming from everywhere to see that Gilda St. Clair. I had no idea she

would draw such a crowd.

Well, she's a very popular entertainer. Well, it's going to be good for my

business, but it's too bad she's on the same train with Colleen. It is going to

be packed at that station.

Is this Colleen's birthday cake? Yes, chocolate.

This is a raspberry filler.

I'll take it inside.

The initials look good.

Yes, thank you, Robert E.

Oh, y 'all did a fine job of putting it together. Glad I could add my part.

Let's go put her in the barn so she don't see it.

Doesn't hardly seem possible, does it? One day they're this size, and the next

day they're... They're turning 17.

Are you nervous about your grown -up girl coming home from school for the

time? It's been a month.

Nervous? No.

No, I'm happy.

Excited.

Curious.

Perhaps a little nervous.

welcomes you to our beautiful town.

Colorado Springs welcomes you to our rocky mountain.

I saw Miss St. Clair Singh once, ten years ago.

I said hello to her as she passed by.

Wonder if she'll remember.

Sure.

Be sure to mention the concert.

There's still plenty of tickets available.

Yes, it's a big name for Colorado Springs, and they owe it all to me.

Car?

Look at that. She's got her own car.

Colorado Springs welcomes you to our rapidly growing town.

St. Clair, Colorado Springs welcomes you to our...

town.

This is the most wonderful reception anyone has ever given me. I will

this key and majestic Colorado Springs forever.

Majestic.

Perhaps you make the choice.

Katie, you've gotten so big.

She's paying so much already.

She's not the only one who's changed.

Where'd you get that beautiful dress?

Wasn't it wonderful?

Gilda gave it to me.

Gilda? Oh, she taught me how to do my hair like this, too. I want you to meet

her. Very much.

As mayor, I was wondering if I could take you to dinner tonight.

Well, I would be honored.

You would?

Shall we say seven?

Seven.

Sure, seven.

Miss Sinclair?

Colleen. Gilda. Please.

Gilda, this is my ma, Dr. Mike. I was telling you about. I'm so happy to meet

you. Privilege.

And this is my pa, Sally.

How do you do?

And this is my baby sister. Oh, she is even more beautiful than you said.

Oh, I told Gilda you take a look at her throat. She's been having some trouble

with it.

Well, yes, certainly.

Miss St. Clair, Preston A. Lodge III.

I'm the man responsible for bringing you to Colorado Springs.

Oh, yes.

You want to speak with my manager, Max Henderson? He'll sign the contract.

Colleen promised me a tour of your fine clinic.

Well, I'm not sure it's large enough to warrant a tour, but I'd be happy to show

it to you.

Ah, there you are.

Let's make sure they just get over to the hotel.

Thank you, sir.

Goodbye. Mr. Henderson.

Preston A. Lodge at Third.

Huh?

We've been corresponding for three months.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, of course, of course.

Lodge, you say?

Preston A. Lodge, third.

Right, back.

Now, we have a contract to sign up. Right you are, right you are.

Where can a man get a drink in this town?

Well, no reason not to make a visit with pleasure, I suppose.

Lodge, you said.

Good name.

Solid. I understand you practically run this town.

Katie's asleep.

Thank you, Colleen.

Why, your throat's inflamed and a little bit irritated.

How long has it been like this?

The night in Denver is the first I recall.

Colleen recommended a hot saltwater gargle.

Colleen? And that tree thing, what was that again?

Willow bark tea. But I didn't have any with me and it's hard to find in Denver.

Did you know that, Mom?

Yes, I know, but how did the two of you meet?

I was going to Lyric Opera House with some friends to see Miss St. Clair's

concert. Just before curtain.

A searing pain began.

radiating from my heart up through my throat. It was excruciating.

I could barely talk. I knew I couldn't sing.

Max came out in front and asked if there was a doctor in the house.

Max? He's my manager.

Colleen's friends pressed her into service, and the hot saltwater gargle

trick, and the show went on.

I could hardly believe what was happening.

It sounds exciting, Colleen.

When I found out Gilda was coming to Colorado Springs, I told her she just

to see you. And here I am.

It's nothing serious, is it?

Well, if there's no history of inflammation or pain, then it would

nothing more than a strain.

Rest and willow bark tea is the best remedy.

Colleen told me I would like you.

She was right.

Well, thank you.

I'll get you some of that tea.

Gilda, do you have any plans for tonight?

I'm free as a bird.

Would you like to come to our place to help celebrate my birthday?

I'd be honored.

Shall we say 7?

Ma?

Well, 7 o 'clock would be fine.

I specifically told you your take is 20%. 20 %? We agreed to 30%. We didn't

agree to anything.

I wrote to you that I was willing to go as high as 20%. You cabled me back

saying that we would work out the details when you arrived.

I must have been distracted. I don't usually let things like percentages get

away from me. 20 % is what I offered. 20 % is where I stand.

Oh, hell.

Oh, I don't want to fight with you, Mr. Lodge.

Gilda is going to have my head if she finds out I settled for 20%. Isn't there

something we can work out?

Such as?

Well, maybe you could pay her transportation costs.

Transportation? Or you could pay her expenses while she's here. You know,

lunches. Jake said he's taking her to dinner.

He did?

Well, why don't I pay the expenses? I'll take expenses.

Leaving me with, uh...

Transportation. Zag.

Where can I get me one of those?

What? And when you go to Chicago, yes, you offer the service free of charge.

Alan Pinkerton.

Who's Alan Pinkerton?

He's a clever man who's captured several bank robbers.

Oh, any sign of them yet?

Nope, not yet.

Oh, Ma, the best part? She actually met Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Well, this is all very fascinating, Colleen, but what about you?

How was school?

Oh, it's fine.

Are you keeping up with your studies all right?

Yes.

Oh, she's here.

Does everything look okay?

Colleen, everything's fine.

We're late, and it's entirely my fault.

Please tell me I haven't spoiled dinner. I'll throw myself off a cliff if I've

caused you any inconvenience.

Not at all.

What a charming home you have.

It reminds me of Crown Prince Rudolph's hunting lodge in Meierling.

It does?

Oh, well, if you don't like to be seated, Colleen can help me serve

Gilda. Thank you.

Rudolph, dearest man.

I met him when I was in London, actually.

I'll be closing up soon, Jay.

Another five minutes, she'll be here.

He said that about happening.

Looks like you got stood up, Jake.

Of course not.

You're just a little late, Saul.

Well, Paul is a little late.

He'll just think Claire ain't coming.

Not the first time.

No den at St. Moret.

And me with a command performance to give for King William II of Württemberg.

And no possible way to get the Stuttgart on time.

What did you do?

Well, what could I do? I broke open the caviar and champagne.

Well, you've led such an interesting life.

Do you think I could interview you for the Gazette? Oh, Miss St. Clair's going

to be too busy. No, no, no, no. I'm never too busy for the press.

I always say, love the press.

And the press.

I know, right?

Perhaps you could make us more tea.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Where was I?

The press.

I'm never too busy for the press.

Miss Shelley!

I'll give you a hand with that.

I understand you're the man to see about getting me a bear.

Getting you a bear?

I'd like to have one of those stuffed brutes from my office in New York City.

And all the better if I shoot it myself.

Now, what would you charge to find me one?

That ain't my line of work.

Come, come, Mr. Sully. Every man has his price.

Why don't you just tell me what yours is and save us some time?

I ain't got a price.

Tell Ma about the time you met Ralph Waldo Emerson.

He's your favorite writer.

Happy birthday, Colleen.

Oh,

it's beautiful.

Colleen and Matthew built it.

I sanded and oiled the wood.

Ma did the lining.

And Robert, you carved your initials in it.

Look inside.

Twenty -five dollars?

It's from your grandmother.

She thought it could help with your school expenses.

And there's a little something left for a birthday gift.

There's something under the tray, too.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Emma made it for you.

Thank you, everyone. This is the best birthday ever.

Oh, Colleen, I feel just terrible.

I didn't bring you a present, and I'm absolutely appalled with myself.

That's all right. There's no need.

Please accept this necklace as my gift.

Prince of Wales gave it to me the day I was presented at court, and I would love

for you to have it.

I couldn't take it.

No, no, it's far too... I insist.

I want you to wear it every birthday and remember me.

It's you.

Colleen.

I didn't hear you come out.

Oh, I was just catching up on my schoolwork.

Trigonometry.

How are you doing with it?

Some of the other girls had it before me, so it's a little easier for them.

Well, I'd be happy to go through with you if you'd like.

Or maybe later.

I didn't see Andrew in town yesterday. Where is he?

Oh, he went back to Boston.

What?

To tell his uncle that he wouldn't be working with him.

He's decided to settle in Colorado Springs.

Oh, he is?

As a matter of fact, I'm going out today to see a patient that he operated on

before he left.

Why don't you come up with me? We can talk about school and all your new

friends.

Oh, I promised Becky I'd see her this morning.

Oh, well, all right.

But if there's anything you need... No, no, it's your free time. I want you to

enjoy yourself.

Well, you could deliver this bag of herbs to Mrs. Nelson for her arthritis,

you like. It's on the way to Becky's.

I'd be happy to.

I'll reach you to town.

Dorothy, these programs, they are stunning.

As nice as I've ever seen.

Thank you.

There is one minor little detail.

Yes. The order of the songs.

Well, that is the order that your manager gave me.

I know. Poor Max. He tries.

But he doesn't always think about what's best for my voice.

I need certain songs to warm up and others to stretch the chords and so

and so on. You understand.

Well, the thing is that I've already printed the whole batch.

So that means I have to throw it all out and start over.

And that could be expensive.

Don't you worry one iota about the money.

Just bill it to me.

Now, let's start with...

Leaves me nuts of time. Yes.

And then we can segue.

Mrs. St. Clark.

Mr. Mayor.

Oh, no.

Dinner. Seven o 'clock.

I figure something must have come up.

No, I forgot. And I am absolutely appalled with myself. You must let me

up to you.

Lunch today?

You don't have to.

No, I insist.

Shall we say noon?

Just the two of us.

We can go over this later.

Noon, don't get.

I'm so glad I ran into you. You must come with me.

Oh, I have to make a delivery for Dr. Mike.

This won't take five minutes. I need your advice. It's terribly important.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

Miss St. Clair looked at me as she passed by.

Our eyes locked.

Time stood still.

I spoke to her. I said, hello.

She smiled.

I could tell she wanted to say something to me, but she forced herself to move

on. And then, all in an instant, she was gone.

Emma, Miss St. Clair wants to talk to you.

What? The dress you made for Colleen is so soigné.

How long would it take you to make me a gown for the concert?

To the concert?

Well, I realize it's short notice.

If you would have to work around the clock, I'd be willing to pay whatever

cost.

Well, I'll meet you to take your measurements.

Let's do that at the boarding house.

Colleen, come with us while Emma's taking my measurements. I'll show you my

scrapbook.

That'd be great.

Hello.

This is so beautiful.

Oh, the temple of Athena is so majestic.

She was the goddess of wisdom, you know, and a patron of the arts.

I wish I could go to some of the places you've been.

Maybe you can.

I really need someone to travel with me, to answer my correspondence, help me

with my wardrobe.

Colin, what do you say?

It's a fellow named Pullman. He takes the inside of a railroad car, turns it

into a regular hotel room. Fancy pull -down bed and everything.

Sure, I can do it. Run you a lot of money.

You don't worry about the expense.

Mr. Lodge will take care of it.

Ah, Mr. Sully.

I'm glad I ran into you.

Robert E. Found me a guide. The gentleman that runs the saloon.

Hank? We leave at dawn tomorrow to track down my bear.

Take a look at that car. I'll show you what I'm talking about.

Uh -oh. Uh -oh.

This man wants to shoot a bear so he can put it in his office.

It would be best if he went with you.

I already told him I wasn't interested.

Hank's gonna take him.

With Hank, he will find a bear and kill it.

It would be best if you went with him.

There I was in the middle of a rebellion.

And Max had disappeared on some wild -eyed quest.

And there were these terrifying men with rifles yelling at me in Cantonese.

Do you speak Cantonese?

No.

Anyway, I didn't know whether to break into a song or run for my life.

I ain't paying this.

Thought you were paying for lunch.

That's when it was me and her.

Grace, is that the bill?

Send it to me. I'll take care of it.

You gonna let a woman pay for your lunch?

She's the one who invited all these people.

Into the Nelson's wagon?

Oh, Mr. Nelson starts writing. I forgot.

Colleen, I was just getting to the best part.

So, anyway, after a while... Go on.

Colleen, what happened?

I forgot.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I forgot.

Thank you for cleaning up.

I feel bad about Miss Nelson.

She was in pain because of me.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I know. I'm sorry. It's fine.

But it didn't change what happened.

You didn't have a lot on your mind lately.

Anything going on at school you haven't told me about?

No.

It's just... What?

College is different.

All the other girls are so much smarter than I am.

I can't believe that. They know trigonometry already.

They don't have to stay up all night studying.

I don't fit in.

I know that college can be daunting at first, but it won't take you long to

things out.

I'm willing to bet that before the term is even over, you'll be writing home

excited about the classes you're going to take next term.

I'm not even sure I want to go back.

What?

Gilda asked me to travel with her.

Well, what did you say?

Nothing.

But I'm thinking about it.

You can't just give up college.

Why not?

Because it's your dream.

You worked so hard for it.

Ever since I've known you, that's what you've always wanted to be, a doctor.

Maybe I shouldn't be.

Maybe I'm not smart enough.

Of course you are. You're just feeling a little overwhelmed right now.

Becoming a doctor isn't easy. Ma, I don't want to talk about it.

Colleen. I don't want to talk about it right now.

Please, leave me alone.

Changed my mind about that bear hunt.

A man does have a price, huh?

Well, what is it, Mr. Sully?

What is your price?

Nothing.

You've just been under bid.

Of course.

I get what you pay for.

Come on.

You, uh... You ever hunt before?

Beg your pardon?

Some men freeze up first time out.

How much experience you got?

None.

Very stylish, Dorothy.

Ladies use them to keep the sun off their skin. I know they do.

Now, that's going to be $1 .95.

$1 .95?

$1 .70 for the parasol, $0 .25 for the soap.

Well, I can understand about the parasol, but $0 .25 for a bar of soap?

not just a bar of soap.

That's Gilda St.

Clair soap.

It's special.

Why? Why? Because it's got her name on it. That's why.

I'll take the parachute.

And you can keep the soap.

Julie.

Well?

Finished? She's trying it on.

Emma.

Emma, Emma, Emma.

Walk from here. Oh about the horses.

Don't wait

Walk

with

the barrel down In case it goes off accidental

Dorothy suggested that Brian send a telegram to the theater in Chicago where

Declare performed last month.

He's trying to get a quote for his article.

That's nice.

Dr. Mike! Dr. Mike!

Mr. Declare, quick!

She started coughing. She must have lost her breath because she fainted.

I'm fine.

I'm fine. It passes.

I just need to lie down.

All right.

Take me to the clinic.

There many bears out here?

Not as many as there used to be.

Oh, that's good.

They destroy crops. They attack and kill innocent children.

They usually don't attack.

Unless you got them cornered, you got their cub.

What was that?

Squirrels.

I first came to these mountains because a bear lived real close to me.

She had a couple of cubs.

Folks from the traveling circus took one of them cubs when they left.

That mother bear looked for that cub every day for a year.

What is this?

A striped snake.

Then one day that cub just showed up on its way all the way back from Denver.

That's preposterous.

How could it do that?

Some folks think when they see a grizzly bear rubbing herself against a tree,

she's just got an itch.

That's not true?

Nope.

She's leaving her scent behind.

In case the cubs get lost, they can find her.

Another one? No.

Chicago? You'd like to read my story on Miss St. Clair?

She has a polyp in her throat.

When it's irritated, it closes up the larynx.

I couldn't see it at first because it was on her vocal cords.

I've suggested that she cancel the concert tomorrow.

Cancel? She's going to be all right, isn't she? Oh, yes. With the operation,

she'll be fine.

Even so, she'll need to take a year off to recuperate. A year?

She can't go a whole year without performing.

It's important that she rests so that the polyp doesn't grow back. A whole

It's better to err on the side of safety.

You just don't want her to think so I can't go with her.

Well, that's not true, Colleen. You don't even care about what I want.

You want me to be a doctor. You can't imagine anything else.

You're just like Grandma. What are you talking about? My mother didn't even

me to be a doctor. Exactly.

She wanted you to be what she wanted.

I've given her some sodium chloride.

The swelling's gone down and she's breathing comfortably.

We're good.

Colleen, I've been thinking about what you said.

About me being like my mother.

I'm sorry, Ma.

It was wrong of me to say.

No, you were right.

I've always known what a fine doctor you'd be.

How capable you are and how caring.

And you've always been so enthusiastic about the idea yourself that it never

occurred to me you might want to explore other possibilities.

I don't know what to think right now.

Well, whatever it is you decide to do, it's fine.

I'll always love you for who you are.

What would happen if you don't operate on Gilda?

Well, the pilot will eventually block a windpipe and she'll suffocate.

Mom told me about the polyp.

Just a little flap of skin. It's nothing. I'm fine.

She knew it was an awful night.

She wouldn't tell you not to sing if she didn't think it was very dangerous.

I know

this concert is important, but it's not worth risking your life for.

I'm a singer, Colleen.

If I didn't sing, who would I be?

You'd be killed at St.

Clair.

Beautiful and interesting.

Alive. Alive?

To do what?

Marry some farmer and live in a little backwoods town?

I'm not a dowdy little peahen, Colleen, content to scratch in the dirt all day

for food.

I'm a glorious golden bird.

I meant to fly.

That's just who I am.

Can't get a clear shot.

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me.

Starlight in dewdrop.

are waiting for thee.

Sounds of the rude world heard in the day, loved

by the moonlight, have all passed away.

Beautiful dreamer, king of my song.

Beautiful dream.

Get some towels. Roll them up and put them under her neck so we can

her head.

Sally, can you help me?

You need to keep her neck back and her jaw up.

Gotta keep the tongue pressed down firmly so it doesn't fall back and block

larynx.

She's fine.

And St. Clair's not talking just yet.

But in time, she should completely recover the use of her vocal cords.

Wait till

you

see what I had him do to the inside of your car. It is Jim Dandy.

Cost a fortune.

Did you get your bear?

What bear?

You said you were going bear hunting.

Now, why would I do that?

Oh, Mr. Marge.

Just the man I want to see.

Laudanum. It'll help with the pain.

And make sure that you see a physician when you get to San Francisco to be

certain that it's healing properly.

Thank you for everything.

It's not too late for you to change your mind.

You can still come with me.

I'll never forget you.

Nor are you.

Mr. Mayor!

I was hoping you'd be here.

You know, I think it must be Kismet that brought me to Colorado Springs.

Your lovely doctors solved my throat problem, and now my career will be

than ever.

I don't suppose you'll ever be coming back here.

I'd be honored to come back.

And then you and I could have that private dinner in my very own customized

Well, it was a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Lodge. Likewise.

I hope Miss St. Clair will grace us with another concert when her throat is

feeling better. Yes. Well, we will certainly look at her calendar.

All aboard.

Well, goodbye.

You know, I almost forgot.

The expenses.

Expenses? Yeah, lunches, dinners, et cetera, et cetera. You remember our

I had all the bills sent to me.

All you have to do is pay them.

Gracious Cafe, $50.

Robert, $100 labor and materials.

A new gown.

Medical expenses.

Henderson!

I never agreed to this!

What are you doing here? You've got customers lined up all the way out the

I do?

Why, you must have 15 orders waiting to be taken.

I do?

It looks like every woman in this town wants a dress made by the seamstress who

sews for Gilda St.

Clair. They do?

You know any time you'd like to come home for a few days?

If you'd like me to come to Denver, we're only a telegram away.

Thanks, Ma.

You may have an occasion for it at school.

Um, it's not me.
