All language subtitles for Dr Quinn s03e13

Real pretty.

Well, look at that.

More immigrants.

Works.

They're Jews.

I heard they make piles of money.

So rich to me.

I wonder how far they travel.

Don't care. As long as they keep going.

Why don't you put the baby Jesus in the
manger?

You like our tree?

Ain't it pretty?

Never have I seen such a tree.

Aaron, come with me here.

But, Mama, I was just looking.

Come. We have things to do.

I'll take Brian for a walk while you and
Ma pick up the you -know -what.

Come on, Brian.

This much?

Three yards.

I think this will work.

Uh -oh.

You might want to try another color.

Afraid not. It has to be red.

Brian wrote a letter to Santa Claus. And
Santa wrote back.

And what did Santa say?

He said he dropped by on Christmas Eve.

Well, then, you might be wanting one of
these.

Do you have any more red flannel?

I'll have to look in the back.

Can I help you?

Oh, thank you. I am just looking.

You sure I can't help you? Just

looking.

What?

Oh,

uh, I have seen the same in Denver. Half
this price.

Oh, well, then you should have bought it
in Denver, then, shouldn't you?

I'm sorry. I got no more red flannel in
the back room.

How soon can you get some? Maybe two
days.

It's kind of closed.

Sure, I can't help you. Just looking.

Thank you.

I am finished.

Oh, by the way, miss, I have some nice
red flannel if you should need it.

Hey, who are you?

Your competition.

Catamar, come here.

Catamar, come here.

Catamar, come here. Good morning, sir.
Take a look.

Catamar, come here.

Good morning.

These pants are very special.

Made by a man in San Francisco, Levi
Strauss.

They are very sturdy.

Miners and cowboys are liking them a
lot. Let me see.

Customers, come here.

Customers, come here.

I'm telling you.

Customers, come here.

Horace!

Horace! You buy from that peddler, you
get no more credit in my store. You hear

that? Robert E., you hear?

competition. Customer, come here.

Customer, come here.

The lady from the store.

I have your red flannel right over here.

I'm sorry, but Mr. Bray looked again and
he found some in his store.

Oh. But I would like to see what else
you have for sale.

I have some of everything. A lot of
nothing and all of it is negotiable.

I have soap from the east, spicy from
the south, and a book from the

soul.

My name, by the way, is Itzek Frankl.
I'm Dr.

Quinn. A lady doctor?

In America, this is a business for a
woman.

Actually, it's not very common, but it
was my dream.

Oh, what a dreamer.

I like dreamers. It was my dream to come
to this country. To be here, for me, is

a miracle.

Where do you come from originally?

Posen, in Prussia, which is sometimes
Germany, sometimes Poland, and mostly

always confused.

And you, Mrs... Excuse me, Dr.

Quinn. I was born in Boston, but my
family originally came from Ireland.

So you have traveled a long way also.

Now, here is something very interesting.

This I got from a Chinese man.

They used them during Shang Dang Ji.

They are Christmas to you. You put them
on your special tree.

A gift.

For my first potential customer.

This is very kind of you, but I must pay
you something. No, no, no, no, no, no,

no. And that is not negotiable.

Taylor!

I'd like you to meet my fiancé, Sully.

Mr. Franklin, the trader. Nice to meet
you. Nice to meet you.

I know some folks who'd like to do some
trading.

How do you feel about doing business
with the Cheyenne?

Indians?

Dead? How would they feel about doing
business with me?

They'd be glad to if you treat them
fair.

Then we will get along fine.

Hey, I'm Brian.

My name is Aaron.

I've never seen a house like that
before.

It is my yarmulke.

How does it keep you warm?

No, it is not for keeping warm. My
father tells me that you were to

that God is always above you.

Who are those people?

That's Joseph and Mary and the wise men
that were there when Jesus was born.

And who is this Jesus?

There, that's Jesus.

You must have heard about him.

Hey, Brian, got your list all ready for
Santa Claus?

I'm doing it tonight.

Who is that?

That's my brother, Matthew. No, who is
this Santa Claus?

You don't know who Santa Claus is
either?

I have gingham fabric, huh?

Very beautiful. Oh, and this, this is
calico fabric, huh?

Oh.

Look, look, look at these shawls. Ah,
beautiful.

When these, these I brought from New
York City.

Gloves. You use them in your work so you
don't get blisters.

We have never needed gloves for work.

All right, if you prefer blisters.

These baskets, very, very well made.

These are very fine.

That's more than enough.

All right, no, it's fine.

That's fine.

There. That is a fair trade.

You were right.

We can do business.

He had a broad face and a little round
belly that shook when he laughed like a

bowl full of jelly.

That's him.

That's Santa Claus.

He looks like my Uncle Avram from
Warsaw.

You think your Uncle Avram is Santa
Claus?

Oh, no. Mama says he gives nothing but
headaches.

He spoke not a word, but went straight
to his work.

and filled all the stockings, then
turned with a jerk, and laying his

the side of his nose, and giving a nod
at the chimney he rose.

But what if he didn't have a chimney?

Well, he'll come anyway.

He can always land in the meadow.

I see. Go on.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team
gave a whistle, and away they all flew

the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove
out of sight, Merry Christmas to all,

to all a good night.

I have never heard such a tale. Is this
true?

Well, some of the boys at school say
it's not.

But Santa Claus has always come here.

I even got a letter from him.

Look, it's from the North Pole.

Now this I want to see.

Brian?

Brian, are you in there?

Hey, Mom.

Aaron and I were just reading.

Oh, that's nice.

Aaron, would you care to stay and have
supper with us?

Oh, no, I must go. Thank you anyway.

Goodbye, Brian.

Bye.

I like Aaron.

I'm glad you're going to be his friend.

It's never easy being a stranger.

You know what?

He's never heard of Santa Claus or
Jesus.

Why? Because Aaron's Jewish.

Jewish people don't celebrate Christmas.

Why not?

Well, they don't believe the same things
that we believe.

So they don't celebrate the same
religious holidays.

Well, I was just telling him about
Christmas.

Do you think that's all right?

I believe so.

It's one of the great things about our
country.

We get to meet people of all
nationalities, and we learn from each

He seemed like he wanted to learn all
about Christmas.

Well, why don't you invite him to go
caroling with you tomorrow?

Yeah!

Customer, come here!

Customer, come here!

He's been gallivanting all over the
countryside.

Selling to homesteaders. I ain't seen a
Swede in my store all week.

And you're complaining?

No, that ain't the point.

The point is, I was here first. He's
stealing my business. That's the way

are. They worm their way into town and
suck it dry.

Nobody wants them around.

And now we'd like to sing Away in a
Manger.

This one's easy. Just follow me. All
right.

What? Just eating.

Mama. Mrs. Frankel.

No harm this way. Let me show you.
Please.

It's none of your concern. Brian, just
being friendly.

Be a mother to your own children, and I
will be a mother to mine.

But you did nothing wrong.

I do not wish my son and your son to be
together.

Good afternoon. How are you?

Perfect.

Check what we need.

Oh, well, then I suggest you buy it.

Well, you don't have a dollar.

Oh, funny.

As it turns out, all it costs is just
one dollar.

Who's the pipe for? Ryan.

No.

It's present.

For horse.

But he doesn't smoke a pipe.

No. But he's, um... He's thinking of
taking it up.

Right.

Brian, come on.

We'll come back to this day and age.

Mrs.

Frankel, I'm Dr. Quinn.

Yes, I know.

I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.

I encouraged Brian to invite Aaron to
go, Carolyn.

I had no idea that it would cause such a
problem.

He and Brian will be getting on so well
together.

In fact, we'd like to invite you and
your family to join us Christmas Eve.

Thank you, but that is not possible.

I know that you don't celebrate
Christmas, but in our country it's a

peaceful time for families to get
together. You do not understand.

Our people, we do not have a country of
our own.

But... For generation after generation,
we have kept our tradition and our faith

alive.

At Hanukkah tonight, we will say the
same blessing over the candles that were

set 2 ,000 years ago.

How is it that we keep our customs, our
language, our religion from dying?

By staying together.

Holding firm to our faith.

But surely there's no harm in simply
sharing another custom.

We can do that without threatening each
other. Better not, I think.

We have many enemies, but not here.

There are a lot of good people here who
would respect you.

I hope this is true.

I hope we can do business.

We can be friends as well.

I have never had such a friend.

Neither have I.

But I'd like to.

Look at him out there.

Hovering around that wagon like vultures
out of carcass.

My carcass.

We've had a fine season. Only because
we've been working day and night, and

still there's plenty of goods around
here. Ain't moving at all.

Look what I found.

Mistletoe.

Maybe we ought to hang up a sample, huh?

Where?

This looks like the goodest place
there's any.

Hey, Mr. Baker!

Oh, sorry.

What do you want?

Well, I heard that you got some new
candy.

Why don't you go and buy from that
peddler friend of yours?

Well, he doesn't have any.

What if he did? Would you buy from him?

I guess so.

It'd cost less.

Listen, boy, you've got to understand.

If you buy from him instead of buying
from me, you're going to drive me out of

business.

Now, Lauren, don't exaggerate. No, it's
true.

I'll go bust.

I'll have to close up the store and
leave town.

Well, I don't want you to go.

Well, I might not have any choice in the
matter.

Hey, Lauren.

Oh, Hank, that whiskey you ordered, come
in.

The peddler says he can give it to me
for half the price you're charging.

Oh, no, Hank, you've always done
business with Lauren.

What's gotten into you?

Can't you see that's a trick?

Why, they lower their prices to get you
hooked and drive honest folks like me

out of business.

Then when I'm gone, prices come right
back up again, higher than they are now.

Right now, it's all I'm thinking about.

If you can match his price, I'll buy
from you.

I got to make a living.

I'm a businessman.

Well, I'm a businessman too, Lorne.

I gotta take the better deep.

You see what I'm talking about?

Soon I won't have no business at all.

My back!

I'll get more. Don't move.

Stay calm.

Does

it

hurt here?

You can put your shirt back on now.

Nothing's broken?

There's a strain of muscle in your back.
You need to rest. Rest?

How can I rest with that peddler in town
stealing all my customers?

Now, Lauren, a little competition can be
healthy.

No, it ain't. Look at my back.

You know what I mean.

Competition can make you work harder.
Try new things you might never have done

before. What about loyalty?

I've been serving the people of this
town for 15 years.

Don't that count for something?

Don't wait, Lauren.

Chance is there for you.

Keep it.

I'm going over to Jake, your
competition.

See how it feels.

I will pay a fair price.

Mr. Bray, do you know a piece of good
property?

I am looking to settle in.

There's nothing for sale around here.

I will gladly pay a finder's fee.

Nobody's going to sell property to you.

Everything I say seems wrong.

It's as if they want to take a barrier
between us.

The reasons, I suppose.

The names of Cheyenne, they just fight
and keep their own ways.

Well, that's different.

Maybe not.

Cheyenne, they don't like to mix with
other tribes.

You mean, if I was a Rappahoe and you
were Cheyenne... We couldn't get

Nope.

That's a pair you off in the night.

Who says this?

I do.

By what authority? Mine.

I'm the mayor. This is not right.

Wait a minute. There's no law in our
charter against peddling. So what? The

mayor has the right to make up rules.

Not without a vote by the town council.

In the interest of public health and
safety, I'd like to propose a ban on

peddling in the streets.

Yes.

Order. I support the proposal.

The junk in the streets has been
bothering me, too. Not to mention the

It's a new thing.

Gentlemen, I don't believe it's the
peddling that's bothering you.

It's the fact that the Frankles are
Jewish.

This has nothing to do with religion.

I believe it does.

I think she's right.

It's because they're different.

Mr.

Frankle, please come in.

I'm glad you decided to join us.

What's he doing here?

I invited him. What for?

Well, he's the reason we're meeting,
isn't he?

It is the season of brotherly love.

Peace on earth, goodwill to men.

Why can't we open our hearts? Why should
we? They don't even believe in

Christmas. May I say a few words?

No, you ain't got the floor.

Then I'll yield to Mr. Frankel.

Go on then, but be quick.

In the old country, we could not own
land. We could not vote.

We could not even express our beliefs.
So now to stand here and speak my heart

and have you listen, this is a great
privilege.

We came here because we are looking for
a home.

We will work hard. We will help others.

We will live with you in peace if you
let us.

That is all we are asking.

Please. Thank you very much.

Now let's vote.

I say we gotta have our streets clean
and safe. I vote for the ban.

Me too.

I vote no.

And I vote no.

Reverend?

No.

The motion is defeated.

For now.

How can you both know these people
killed Jesus?

That is not true.

The Romans killed Christ.

And they paid them to do it. Warren,
take it easy.

You're not going to do business in my
town. Leave me.

Customer come here Customer come here

Customer come here Customer

come here When

I first

came here the whole town boycotted me
too I had no patience for mints

But eventually they came to accept me
and trust me.

The same will happen to you.

It'll take time, but one has to believe
that people are basically good at heart.

You are dreaming again? You heard what
they wanted to do.

But the motion never carried. It may as
well have. I have had no customers

today.

I am thinking, maybe it is best we
should leave this place.

Itzhak, the railroad is coming. There's
plenty of opportunity here. How do I

survive until then?

Please, just give it time.

Oh, Matthew.

What's the show called? What's it
called?

Me and Matthew were talking, and I had
these.

Oh, it'll be perfect.

Thanks, Robert E.

That's it, then. It's everything, right?
Yeah.

What?

I thought you were going to the library.

Well, I did, but somebody's reading the
book I want.

What's that?

The sound? Like that?

Must have been the hammer falling in
there.

Come on, Brian. I know a book you like.

Come on.

There's some warm water on the stove in
the next room. Will you bring it in

here, please?

What happened?

She was in bed.

I thought she was getting better, but
then she started to cough and sneeze.

When? This morning.

It's good.

Will she be all right?

Yes.

Thank you, Aaron.

I'll make it easier for her to get a
breath.

I'll put some menthol on her chest.

It'll help her breathe easier.

The warmth from the towel should help it
work faster.

She's already breathing easier.

Little Hashem, thank God. Keep a steam
pot boiling all night by her bed.

In the morning, she should be better.

Thank you.

I am afraid I have no money with me.

Is it possible Gita could trade you
something later?

That would be fine.

Mama, could we invite him over for
Hanukkah?

Aaron, that's a lovely idea, but I think
your mother already has her hands full.

No.

I wish you to come tonight at sundown.

Aaron, will you tell our guests what
does Hanukkah mean?

It means dedication.

Correct.

Two thousand years ago, the Syrians
ruled the Holy Land, and they refused to

the Jews worship their God.

But one family, the Maccabees, started a
revolt.

They went into the hills because they
were not trained as soldiers. They were

farmers. They had no fancy weapons, but
they were fighting the strongest.

army in the world.

Kind of like dog soldiers.

And who are dog soldiers?

The Cheyenne braves who are fighting the
army.

They're fighting to keep their way of
life.

Yes. Then exactly like dog soldiers.

The Maccabees came swooping down on the
enemy camp.

Judah, the Maccabee leader, roared like
a lion.

The Syrians lost their courage. The
Maccabees drove them out of the country.

But when they went to rededicate the
temple in Jerusalem and light the sacred

lamp, there was only enough oil for one
day.

But a miracle occurred.

The oil lasted for eight days until more
oil could be made.

And that is why we celebrate Hanukkah
for eight days.

That's a beautiful story.

Yes.

Warren. Warren.

Sit down.

Get that dog out of my bar.

It ain't something old holy, Mac.

He ain't gonna.

Get him out of here. Too bad. That's his
best number.

Say. You ever hear the way some of them
Jews sing?

Sounds just like that.

Like a cow and dog.

I hear they eat dogs.

No, that's China. Oh, that's right.

I'll tell you what they do eat, though.

Potatoes. They love potatoes.

That's all they ever buy from me.

They ain't been spending any money with
me.

I saw one of them barfing outside his
tent.

You did?

I bet he was charging about half what
you do.

When they leave in town anyway?

They ain't. They're planning on staying.

What makes you say that?

He talked to me and Lauren about buying
land.

Well, nobody's going to sell to him.

No, not if we have anything to say about
it.

I say it's about time they was moving
on.

Tonight? Tonight.

Maybe we ought to go over and have a
little talk with them, eh, Hank?

I ain't got nothing to say to them.

What? Since when do you like Jews?

Since the winter of 67.

I got caught in a blizzard.

Up on the North Trail, and I'd have died
if some Jews hadn't come along and

found me.

They, uh, saved my life.

Yeah.

Well, they wrecked my father's life.

Drove him out of business.

That's not gonna happen again.

Say, I'd like to buy all you fellas a
drink.

Come on, fellas.

Grandmothers, let's go have a party.

Take your kids.

Considering. Is that too tight?

No.

Mr. Frankl, I want to apologize.

I'm so ashamed. I thought this town...
You tried.

We have all learned something. Now, we
move on.

We will be ready to leave by tonight.

No, you can't.

Please, do not try to talk us out of
this again.

I'm not.

Isak needs to rest here in the clinic at
least for a few more days.

Help me up.

This is the last night of your Hanukkah,
isn't it?

You could have it here in the clinic.

Tell me what you need.

It is not necessary.

Please, I want to help.

You got anything bigger than a flower
set? No.

What about sewing up an old bed sheet or
blanket?

That'll work.

I need some thread.

Well, you're in luck.

Got one box of candles left.

Everybody's been buying them for the
tree lighting tonight.

Well, I wonder what Santa Claus is doing
right now.

He's probably hitching up his team of
reindeer.

Nah.

He's not coming.

Oh, sure he is.

Not this year.

Well, now, what makes you say that?

Because he only comes to towns where
everybody's nice.

You're so funny when people like to use
town.

Santa will come.

Well, that's $3 .08 on your bill.

Well, don't go blaming me.

I didn't mean for anybody to get hurt.

I suppose you think that's what I
wanted.

I think you wanted to get rid of the
competition.

And you did.

No good time.

Well,

why

don't we take a little break?

Thank you.

Well, everybody sure sounds good, don't
they?

There's no joy in their voices.

To be truthful, I ain't feeling much
joy.

Well, I don't think anybody's feeling
very joyful right now.

I didn't help.

I didn't buy from them when I wanted to.

Me neither.

I didn't do nothing to make them feel
welcome.

No, I'm afraid I'm the one to blame.

They wanted to leave. I convinced them
to stay.

I told them that in time they'd be
accepted.

I told him that this was a wonderful
place to live and raise a family.

All right.

Kayla.

I need to check on my patient.

Mom, wait up.

You don't need to leave yet. I'll come
back for you.

We're ready to go now, Emily.

But I'm tired.

There's nothing good left to eat.

And you know how I feel about
socializing.

I wanted to stop by and see how Ape Sack
is doing.

I wish you all a happy Hanukkah.

Ryan. Hey, Aaron.

Please, come in.

See you later.

Alpha, can we light the candle?

Yeah.

And let us have our guests each light
one.

We have come to the end.

Last night of Hanukkah.

For us, it is a time of hope.

Hope that one day we will have a home of
our own, where we can welcome our

friends and teach our children, who will
teach their children,

that even in the moment of greatest
darkness, we can still light the candle.

One for me.

And run for the baby.

Reverend. We wanted to know if Itzhak
was all right.

Itzhak.

I am here.

We just wanted you to know that we're
very sorry for what happened.

I'm going to fix your wagon up, just
like you.

And I'll be needing a few things when
you're feeling better.

Me too, especially those baby clothes.

I'd love for you all to have supper on
me.

I mean, just to welcome you to town.

I'm giving you a subscription to the
paper, so you get to know everybody

First haircut's free.

And I got a business proposition.

There's a lot of folks that find it hard
to get into town very often.

Well, I'll stock your wagon, and you can
go and sell to them.

And we'll both make some money.

Thank you, Mr. Bray, but we will not be
stank.

What do you reconsider?

No one will sell us land.

I know a farm that's for sale, and if
the owner don't give you a fair price,

he'll have to talk to me.

Why are you doing all this?

It's Christmas.

Then tonight you must celebrate.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow we will talk.

Now let's light that Christmas tree.

Come on, Aaron.

Will you join us?

Can I, Mama?

You were right.

I was?

It takes time.

But one has to believe that people are
good at heart.

He did.

Merry Christmas.

To happen on again.

You're crying.

What is that man? Ho, ho, ho!

What man?

It's in your book.

Your Santa looks just like my brother
Abram.

stars.
