That was real good.

What do they call it, the sweetheart dance?

One of the town fans proposed to his wife at the dance.

A lot of weddings come out of it.

If they take someone to this dance, they'll be a sweetheart for life. Can I

a new dress for it? You got lots of dresses from Boston.

It would be nice to make something new for a special dance.

What are you going to ask?

I'm not sure I'm going.

Listen, we'll see you later.

See you.

Dorothy, how are you? Oh, fine, thanks.

It's kind of warm in there. I came out for some fresh air.

Will you keep this door closed?

It's hot in there.

What are you talking about? It's freezing. I've got my coat on.

I will close it in a minute.

Well,

what do you think for the dance?

Oh, it suits you perfect.

The color's pretty.

That's the one I'm choosing.

But you didn't say that. I picked it out yesterday.

Mr. Bray, would you cut me ten yards of this, please?

That's not fair.

You can use this, Becky.

And Colleen, this would be real nice on you.

I want that fabric.

I just love it. We can't wear the same thing.

You'll find something else, I'm sure.

She has got no right.

Telling us what we can and can't in there.

But she does.

You know Alice. I sure do.

She says we have to listen.

She'll be mad.

Let's not be friends with her.

Right. We don't need her.

Morning, Dorothy.

Oh, morning, Sally.

It's awful busy in there.

It's madness with the sweetheart's dance and all. You're going, ain't you?

I'm not much for dancing.

All right.

I'm just a little dizzy, that's all.

Dr. Mike. Oh, don't trouble him.

It's just so hot.

Let's go to your room so you can lie down.

How long have you been feeling this way?

On and off for a while.

How's your appetite?

I ain't been eating much lately.

Any headache?

And in the chat, you don't have to ask me no more questions. I know what's

wrong. What's that? I'm pregnant.

What makes you think you're pregnant?

My waistband's getting tighter, my bust is getting larger. I've had three young

'uns I know.

But how?

With my husband.

Margaret?

Remember when I left him and he came after me?

You mean just before he died?

I told you that we talked all night.

Oh, I never dreamed this could happen.

not pregnant.

I'm not?

No.

From what I see, it's a change of life.

That can't be.

Of course, I knew it would come someday, but I don't feel... I

don't feel ready.

Well, you have had your children.

Oh, it's not bad.

I feel like I'm losing my...

I think it makes me know that another month has gone by and all is well.

All is well.

It's a transition.

You're strong and healthy and you have everything ahead of you.

Ladies.

I got the silver heart, and I was wondering if you'd cut it in half and

little hole in each piece.

We're going to wear it around our necks.

It's kind of like a puzzle that fits together.

Because we're best friends. And wherever we go and go, the other one's got the

matching piece.

It's real nice.

You're having a friend you know you can count on.

Well, I'll have this done tomorrow.

Thanks, Robert.

They can go around.

I ain't seen nobody.

Oh, my Lord.

There's that new boy, Richard.

You call me in?

Becky? Hey, Richard. Oh, I finished that story.

Already? I couldn't put it down. Did Mr. Twain write any others?

Well, we've got one about a jumping frog.

I'll bring it tomorrow if you want. Yeah, thanks.

All right.

See ya. Bye.

You like him, don't you?

Oh, sure.

I mean, like a beau?

No, I don't like him that way.

He's got all these new books that his family brought from Denver we've been

trading. You mean it?

Why?

Oh,

just that thing's awful nice.

Becky! I ain't telling nobody.

I promise you won't tell a soul.

I promise.

Well, see, I have these dreams about him every night.

And when I see him, I don't know, I just get this really jumpy feeling inside.

And he keeps watching me. In school, I look up, and he's staring right at me.

Are you going to talk to him?

Oh, I can't.

But maybe you could.

Me? Yeah, well, you know him a little, and you've got brothers.

You can talk to boys. Well, not about those things.

Please, just find out what he thinks of me. Well, how am I going to do that?

Well, when you're talking to him, just kind of, you know, drop it in.

Please, I'd do anything for you if you asked me to.

Hello, Alice.

Dr. Mike.

Isn't that Colleen's friend?

Not at the moment.

He had a falling out about what they're wearing to the dam.

Oh, everybody's all worked up over that dam.

Why's that?

Well, winter's coming, and people gotta pair up with somebody to keep warm,

right?

So people fussing about who's going with who. And who's dancing with whom.

Sounds like a lot of foolishness.

Weather's holding.

Let's walk up to Granite Canyon.

Mom! Mom, come quick!

What's wrong?

Mr. Dorsey's at the clinic. They need you.

When did the bleeding start?

Last night.

I thought it was the monthly coming, but... No, it's not that.

Oh. Oh.

Hold on.

It's going to be all right.

Go to the ice house and get me the light. Him and you.

You're going to feel weak, and I want you to stay in bed for a couple of days.

Why did this happen?

It might be nature's way of helping the body adjust.

It's not unusual to have heavy bleeding at this time.

Is that all?

I might be something else.

What else?

It could be a tumor.

But I don't believe that it is.

What would you do if it was?

We'd want to remove it.

What's the worst that could happen?

Dorothy, you're disabled now. I want to know.

Last resort, if we couldn't control the bleeding, we'd perform an extirpation of

the uterus.

What do you mean?

Take it out?

I don't want that.

Of course not.

And there's no reason to believe that it will happen.

I'm glad you liked that story.

Oh, I did.

Um, Richard, there's something I want to tell you.

Go ahead.

Well, it's a little embarrassing.

And it's a secret.

Well, I'm good at keeping secrets.

Well, there's this girl who's really sweet on you.

There is?

She dreams about you all the time.

I think I know who it is.

And I like her, too.

You do?

Yeah, I like her a lot.

Will she meet me at the kissing tree?

I don't know.

Well, if she really cares for me, she will.

I'll wait for her there on Friday, after school.

I'll tell her.

How come you didn't go into the dance?

Because Ding was out of town in Pueblo with that lady who had twins.

You can dance with me.

There's going to be a hayride, too.

It's all to think about it, but for now, let's turn in.

Good night, Billy.

More coffee?

No, thanks.

Want to tell me?

Tell what?

What you're fretting about.

I'm not fretting.

You haven't looked me in the eye all night.

Are you going to ask me?

I just figured we'd be going together.

What made you figure that?

Well, we're courting. That means we go to things like this together.

Still, I... I would appreciate being asked.

All right.

Would you like to go to the dance with me?

No.

Why not?

You waited too long.

I'm no good at dancing anyway.

You dance in Boston. That was the waltz. All I had to do was one, two, three,

one, two, three. These reels and squares, they're all twisted up.

They're perfectly easy once you know the patterns.

I'll teach you.

I thought you didn't want to go to the dance.

I lied.

I do want to go.

He cares for you a lot.

But I never kissed a boy before.

Have you?

Well?

No.

I don't know how.

I didn't expect you to.

What if your nose is bumped?

Maybe... Maybe you gotta... You gotta turn your head.

Can you hold your breath?

You're going to be like that fool.

I'm not looking at anything.

You've been creeping around here all day. Now, what's on your mind?

Nothing.

Well, Hank says you're going to grow hair all over and get a

hump.

Come and check on Dorothy.

I am much better, except for the stories Lawrence is telling.

He thinks I'm going to turn into a hairy hunchback.

That's a ridiculous superstition.

Well, folks say, you know, a lady gets all dry and shriveled. That doesn't have

to be.

Some women actually bloom, feel more free.

I think I know what you mean.

So you're going to be all right?

Of course I'm going to be all right.

I'm not the first woman to go through this.

Quit worrying and leave us be.

How are you feeling?

Well, it's peculiar, Michaela. One minute, I can't stop crying.

And the next, I feel, I feel like it's springtime

and the brooks are bubbling and the sand is flowing.

That's wonderful.

How much longer do I have to stay in bed?

Well, I'll check on you tomorrow.

And if there's no more bleeding, you can go back to normal activities.

And maybe a few new ones.

Colleen, what are you doing?

Nothing.

I was just...

Just dreaming, I guess.

Well, then a nice dream.

Dr.

Mike? Yes?

Do you remember the first time you ever kissed a boy?

I certainly do.

How old were you?

Twenty -five.

That's old.

Well, I was a little different. I didn't go to cotillions.

I was too busy with my studies working with my father.

I wasn't around boys much.

Until I met David.

Well, how'd you know?

How'd you do it?

I didn't.

Colleen, you're not, are you?

No.

Becky and I were just talking and... There's nothing wrong with it, is there?

No, there's nothing wrong.

I just want to be careful.

Careful of what?

Kissing can be sweet, but sometimes it leads to other things.

Things you wouldn't want.

Well, I ain't fixing to kiss no one right now anyway.

So, good night.

Good night, Colleen.

Something hurts so bad. Take some deep breath.

I can't do it, Colleen.

I can't go.

Just be still a moment. It might pass.

I want to go home.

But he's waiting for you.

Can you go and explain?

Tom will meet him another day.

You sure?

Will you all right going home?

Yeah. Please.

You can't just leave him out there.

Sweetheart reel's my favorite.

It starts like this.

One, two, and then you slide.

Can't see your feet.

Oh.

One, two.

That's better.

Aren't you going to try?

I'd like to see that again.

Come on.

It's really simple.

Sully. What?

This doesn't come to hell.

It comes with Courtney.

But I'm trying to show you something.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing.

It's just we don't have much time left.

Please try.

One.

Two.

You have to start with your left foot.

Be patient. I've never done this before.

I am being patient. You have to start with your left foot.

Take it easy.

It's just a dance.

I know.

But you have to concentrate.

What is so important about dancing anyway?

I don't think people enjoy.

I don't.

But you could.

I told you, I'm no good at it.

But you haven't tried.

I've taught Brian, for heaven's sake. I'm not Brian.

And folks don't change.

Well, they do if they want to. Clearly, you don't.

Look, I won't try to change you.

And you don't try to change me.

How's that?

Not acceptable Well,

that's all I have to say You

look fine

What

about you Michaela

You don't look so fine, and I don't mean health -wise.

Sometimes it helps to talk to somebody.

You aren't going to print this in your paper, are you?

Oh, Michaela, of course not.

This is just us talking as friends.

You know, Sully and I have a great court.

It's not going well.

Oh, why's that?

I tried to teach him to dance, but he was hopeless.

He said people just can't change.

Well, you don't think that's true to you. I mean, I don't.

I mean, what hope is there if people can't change?

That's why we're here, to learn and grow.

I don't think that's what he's saying.

He's talking about accepting folks as they are.

We're so different.

Why, he sleeps on the ground.

Likes to come and go as he pleases.

I like to make plans.

But sometimes differences are good for a couple.

But you see, I don't know that I'm suited to all this.

I mean, I've always been on my own.

You're the one that believes folks can change.

So he wants to... touch and kiss.

Well...

You've

never been with a man.

Maybe the terrible mistake.

Oh, Michaela.

You love him.

How are you feeling Oh

Fine. How about you?

Better. Oh, good. I'm glad.

I want to thank you for our talk.

And I'd love you to come for dinner.

Oh, I would love that, too, but I have another engagement.

You do?

With whom?

Oh, it's not important.

You can tell me.

I'm sorry, I can't. Why not?

I just can't.

But... Thank you for the invitation, and I'll come another time if I may. Bye,

Michaela.

Oh, now, sir.

How are you?

Hey,

Becky. Well, what happened? I'm dying to hear.

Um, how's your stomach?

Oh, it felt better.

Was he mad?

No.

That's good.

What did he say?

Not much. He wasn't disappointed?

No.

I mean... I gotta tell you something.

What?

Richard was... Yeah.

He was... I'm real sorry you were sick.

It's so sweet.

He's got the kindest heart. I just knew it.

To meet again?

Well, he's going to be sort of busy the next few days.

That's okay.

I can wait.

Thanks, Colleen. You're the best friend ever.

Where's Brian?

He's off playing horseshoes.

There you are.

I have to stop at the clinic on my way home.

I think I feel like walking home.

I'll walk with you.

All right. I'll see you back there.

See you there.

Where? I want to see.

Over at the store.

I wonder what he's doing there. It's closed.

Maybe his business is lost.

No, Mr. Bray's at the saloon.

Sully. Sorry about the other day.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You should have been more patient.

Well, I wasn't too patient myself.

Dance is not important.

And you were right.

We shouldn't try to change one another.

Good.

I don't think we'd have much luck anyway.

I brought sweets for you.

Thank you.

Where'd you get them from?

Store.

I thought it was closed today.

Is that what you were doing with Dorothy?

What, are you checking up on me?

No.

Merely curious.

I get ways of getting things when I need them.

That's all you need to know.

Colleen, I had to come find you.

I miss you so bad.

I'm waiting for Becky.

Richard, there's something I gotta tell you. Let's kiss first.

Becky?

No, Becky, wait!

Becky, please, let me explain!

How could you? I didn't mean for this to happen.

I trusted you. It was all a mistake.

David, the kids from King Richard's thought I was the one who'd come to meet

him. You're supposed to be my best friend. We made a promise to each other.

sorry.

But it turns out... He has feelings for me.

You're worse than Alice.

All he did was take the dress I wanted. He took the only boy he ever cared for.

I know how nice that is.

It wasn't easy for me to make friends growing up.

Your mother was my first real friend.

And now Becky hates me.

I betrayed her.

Well, you did know Richard first. You were trading books.

But Becky was the first particular she loved him.

Then after the kiss and tree, I didn't... tell her the truth.

Well, that was wrong.

And you must go and apologize.

He won't talk to me.

Just keep trying.

Make her know how much she means to you.

And I'll tell you something, Colleen. You're going to have many bows.

And they'll come and they'll go.

If you and Becky have a real friendship, you shouldn't destroy it because of a

boy.

You've seen Dorothy this morning?

I imagine she's probably over at the telegram office.

Oh, I just came from there. I didn't see her.

That's all you want.

It's not normal.

I don't suppose so.

That's one dollar.

Dr. Mike.

We were just looking at something.

Dorothy was going to kill me while... You need an explainer.

What's wrong? What's happening?

You're losing a lot of blood.

I'm going to try to cauterize the uterus to fill the nitrate.

But if that doesn't work, I may have to extricate the uterus.

I'll need your permission before I give you the chloroform.

It's dangerous?

Well, it's a risk of infection, peritonitis. I might not wake up.

Do what you gotta do.

Is her breathing regular?

Nice and steady.

Good.

I've been in there for hours.

Only seems that way, Lauren.

She's going to be all right, Mr. Bray. Oh, no, she's as good as dead.

Why, when they start cutting and taking things out.

Mom cut you open, and you're all right. Same as me.

Jake, I just wanted to talk to her, you know, one last time.

You talk plenty.

I need to work.

I won't have to do major surgery.

Are you saying she's alive?

Yes.

Mr.

Gray?

You'll be fine.

Dr.

Mike?

You all right?

You tired?

One of those things must be hard on you.

I thought you'd be more concerned about Dorothy.

What are you talking about?

Please don't pretend.

I can't bear that.

Pretend what?

I saw you leaving her room, remember?

And that Sunday when the door was closed?

Why are you smiling?

You're jealous.

I am not. jealous. I'm just stating the facts.

For God's sakes, wipe that smoke off his face.

What am I supposed to think?

You're supposed to trust me.

Can I talk to you?

No. Becky, please.

Brian!

Brian, Brian, come here. I want to talk to you.

What's going on? What do you mean?

Everybody's looking at me funny.

Brian, you've got to tell me. You're my brother.

They're talking about you and Richard.

What'd they say?

Brian.

He said you're too easy.

What's that mean?

Easy?

He said you let Richard do things, and that's why he likes you.

It's not true.

What'd you and him do?

Colleen.

Colleen. Colleen. All we did was kiss.

Now the whole school's laughing at me. They think I'm easy.

Don't pay no attention to them.

I can't go back there.

Yes, you can.

If you hide, it'll look like you believe you did something wrong.

Maybe I did.

Of course you didn't.

I lost my best friend.

Everybody's mad.

They're just jealous.

It'll all blow over.

I wish... I wish we could just put things back the way they were.

What are you saying?

Can't we just be friends?

Colleen, all I want to do is be with you.

I've never felt like this before.

And I know you like me, too.

It all happened so fast.

I want to think it over.

But you're still going to the dance with me, aren't you?

So pretty.

Just put them right up there.

Dorothy, there's something I've been meaning to ask you, but I couldn't get

words out.

I'm not dying yet, Lauren, so don't go and say something that you're going to

regret.

The last time I asked you was 30 years ago.

You turned me down then.

What are you talking about?

Will you go to the dance with me?

I'm not fit for dancing yet.

Well, we wouldn't have to get up and dance. We could just sit there.

Lauren, Dorothy, let's check your pulse.

Dr. Mike, would it be all right if Dorothy come to the dance with me if we

sat there?

Oh, if she sits quietly, it would be all right.

Oh, that's fine.

Well, good day.

Good day, Lauren.

Thank you for saving my life.

You're quite welcome.

Michaela, I know you're upset and I know what you're thinking, but you got it

all wrong.

Do I?

You were alone with Sully in your room.

We had business to attend to.

Please, Dorothy, I believe it's best to have everything out in the open, even if

it should be painful.

But I am your friend. I would never do anything to hurt you.

And even if I wasn't your friend, that man has no place in his heart for anyone

but you.

He's like the needle on a compass that points to the true north. Don't you know

that?

I suppose not.

He's as straight and sure as you are.

That's the one way that you're alike.

And it's more important than all the little ways that you're different.

You've got to believe that.

You want to come on?

I'm going to get some fire.

What are you doing here all by yourself?

Where's Pauline?

She turned me down.

She did?

Is something wrong?

I think I got an eyelash in my eye.

Or a speck of dirt. Can you take a look?

This one?

No.

I haven't seen anything.

You sure?

Yeah.

You got real pretty eyes, Alice.

Hey, Becky.

Richard, have you turned him down?

Yeah.

He shouldn't lose no time.

Why'd you do it?

I felt bad.

About you.

And I wanted to think it all over.

But... I guess it doesn't matter now.

What the f***?

I'm sorry,

Becky.

I never meant to hurt you.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

Don't you

want

to dance?

I remember you were passable.

I'm fine. I'm all right. I'm happy just the way I am.

There are a lot of pretty young ladies out there who don't have a partner. None

as pretty as you, Dorothy.

You're a foolish man.

Well, maybe I am.

When I look at you, I see a girl, 16, fiery hair, blown all about.

You're often losing your eyesight.

Well, maybe I am.

That's the way I see you, Dorothy. That's the way you always look to me.

Choose your partners now for the sweetheart reel.

This is your favorite, right?

Sorry. What are you doing?

On to your partner, forward and back.

Wing them high, wing them low.

Hold them tight and let them go.

Healthy -do your partner.

Two hands around the right.

Pair a couple, back and down the center.

Come on home.

How do you learn?

I'd left a friend.

Give that girl a kiss and bring her home.

Go back home.

Win your partner high and low.

Brad, I'm with you.

I know.

I was foolish.

I was.

But you agree with me all the time.

one more time.

That's a down sweetheart lane.

Everybody swing your sweetheart home.
