A thousand dollars?

You wanted my best offer.

My share of the gold nugget's worth a lot more than a thousand dollars.

Maybe a while back it was, but not now.

Business ain't been that good, and we got expenses.

You wouldn't have a hotel. If it wasn't for the gold nugget my pa left me, and

that nugget, it's worth twice that much. Maybe I was just better off when this

was my saloon.

That hotel is what's been dragging us down.

You want a better offer?

Go find one.

How was the graduation?

It was a wonderful ceremony.

The graduating class was very impressive.

Colleen got to make a speech, too.

I was so nervous, I thought I was going to faint.

You did a good job, Colleen.

I can't believe you're already finished with college.

That sure has been a fast two years.

Actually, I was thinking just the opposite.

Colleen!

Congratulations.

Congratulations. Thank you.

When did you get back?

Well, just now he came straight from the station.

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to write a special article about you for the Gazette.

I mean, it's not every day that someone from Colorado Springs graduates from

college.

Everybody, can I have your attention, please?

I'd like to make a toast.

My little sister, Colleen Cooper, who just graduated from the Colorado

College and made her big brother off the prowl.

Pretty soon. It's not going to be long before she gets accepted into medical

school. We're going to have to call her Dr. Colleen Cooper.

Colleen. Colleen. Colleen.

Actually, two days ago I got a letter from the Women's Medical College of

Pennsylvania.

That's the college I'm going to.

What's it say?

I've been afraid to open it.

Well, you're going to have to open it sooner or later.

Congratulations,

Tony. And well deserved.

Thanks.

It doesn't need to be in Philadelphia in three weeks to complete matriculation.

Three weeks?

Well, that doesn't give us much time.

No, it doesn't.

Now, if you could sign right here, the transaction will be complete.

Mrs.

Morales.

Mrs. Lipper.

You'll sign right here.

The mortgage on your land is now officially paid off.

Congratulations.

Now, regarding the gold nugget.

Will you inform Hank of the change of ownership, or shall I?

I'll tell him.

Let him know that I'm thrilled to be in business with him.

I've got big plans for that little hotel.

We'll add on a second floor, perhaps knock out a few walls, convert the

into a dining room. Hank's gonna love it.

Chris?

Let her just come for you. Mark Erdman.

You're welcome.

It's a telegram from Grandma.

She said she's happy that I chose the Women's Medical College for my

Not like I had much choice. Hardly any medical schools except women.

Not yet, anyway.

She said she'll come visit me in Philadelphia, seeing as it's not so far

Boston.

Well, Philadelphia.

I mean, it's not like Denver where I can come back home now and then.

It is a long way, Colleen.

And we'll all miss you very much.

There's going to be a lot of hard work.

Remember, my first few weeks, I was completely overwhelmed.

I wanted to climb aboard the first coach and head straight for home.

But then I grew to love it.

And you will, too.

You'll meet new people, and you'll learn extraordinary things.

And then when you're finished, Colleen, you'll be a doctor.

You what?

You told me to find a better offer, and I did.

Effective immediately.

You can't do this. It's done.

I ain't going into business with Preston.

Well, you should offer me more money.

Just didn't kill Preston, that's going to business with him.

Now, getting somebody killed isn't going to help you, is it?

I don't suppose there's any point in my trying to talk sense into you, is there?

Look, I'll give you 25 cents for the bracelets, 40 cents for the necklaces,

a dollar for the blankets.

The blankets are $1 .50.

$1 .50?

I'd be lucky if I saw one of these blankets. Look at them.

Too much color.

A blanket is supposed to keep people warm, not blind them.

You will sell them. And that is why you'll pay me $1 .50.

Let me explain something to you.

In business, we have a thing called profit.

And what profit is... Dorothy, this article about Colleen is excellent.

love it.

Thank you.

I only wish more people would read it.

Folks haven't been buying the paper much lately.

Well, maybe they're not too thrilled with the company the editor's keeping.

Well, if that's true, Lauren, certainly it's only temporary.

That is a fine paper.

Not to mention the only one in town.

People will come around eventually.

You can wait it out.

All right. Now, where were we? You were explaining to me how you will sell these

blankets for $2 each, which will earn you 50 cents profit after you pay me the

$1 .50.

That should hold it. Oh, wow.

Thank you, Robert E.

You men thirsty?

Thank you, Grace.

You're welcome.

Looks like things are patching up pretty well between you two.

Well, it's still going to take some time. The world's gone pretty deep.

The last few weeks have been good.

Real good.

It's like being in a dream when you pray to God you don't wake up from it.

Sully. Local girl accepted to Philadelphia Medical School.

Sounds like interesting reading.

It's a wonderful article.

I'm so happy for Colleen.

You sure about that?

Why?

Yes,

it's a wonderful opportunity.

I couldn't be happier for her.

Me too.

So what's wrong?

I don't know. I guess I'm just worrying.

I'm afraid of losing her, Sully.

Then don't.

What? I can't tell her not to go. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is

if that's the way you feel about it, maybe you ought to stop worrying so much

and you just do something about it.

Bank's closed.

Preston said he's feeling ill this morning.

Sounds a mite peculiar if you ask me.

He's got lots of clerks working for him.

They run the bank lots of times without him.

You ask me. Nobody asked you, did they?

you damn straight you do jake had no business doing what he did and i'm not

gonna want to sell my share of the gold nugget are you interested i want to sell

your share same one you just bought from jake yes what's the catch no catch

are you interested or not sure i'm interested my offer's the same one as i

to jake eight hundred dollars eight hundred that's robbery

800. But I need the money right now.

Sure.

Hey, Andrew.

Hello.

I've come to see Colleen. Is she here?

She's inside.

Andrew, what are you doing out here?

I came to talk to you.

Alone, if I may.

Sure.

I'm going to go get a drink.

I wonder what that's all about.

I have no idea.

Michaela, come on. Do some privacy.

He's holding her hand.

Kayla, how come you're not in the house with the rest of the family celebrating?

I'll be there in a minute. I just want to finish hanging these.

And you just said he's going to quit the Chateau Clinic and open up his own

practice in Philadelphia.

Well, that's good.

I need to search that and go and practice away from Preston's control.

I think it'll be nice having him there to look out for Colleen.

Yeah, that'll be nice.

It's just... It's just that it's all so sudden.

I can't help suspecting that this marriage proposal's only happening

Colleen's going away to school.

Probably.

It don't change the fact that those two are still in love with each other.

I figure it was bound to happen sooner or later.

It's true.

Although I was hoping for later.

Becton!

Becton, may I have a word with you? I'm busy.

It's rather important. I'm afraid it can't wait.

It won't take long.

Fine, Andrew.

I can have a word with me, but no more than a word.

Well, actually, it's two words. I quit.

Meaning I will no longer be running the clinic at the Chateau. I heard you.

Fine.

I couldn't sleep.

Neither could I.

No wedding dress.

Thinking about my wedding day.

How chaotic it was and how wonderful.

Mom, I know this all happened really fast.

I really do love Andrew.

And Andrew loves me.

I hope you can be happy for me.

I am happy for you, Colleen.

And don't worry about the wedding. It doesn't have to be anything special.

Well, of course it does. My daughter's getting married. Everything has to be

just right.

You're starting to sound like Grandma on your wedding day.

No.

Will you wear my dress?

I'd love to.

Also, I was hoping you'd be my matron of honor.

Connie, it's not proper for the mother of the... For I to be matron of honor. I

don't care what's proper, what's not.

All I know is I want you up there beside me.

Here you go, sweetheart.

Thanks, Mr. Bray.

Now you be sure and say hello to your mother for me, huh?

I will.

This one.

Oh, a silver picture, friend? Very nice, very nice. Yeah.

I'm going to get a photograph of the whole family.

Put it in there. Give it to Clay as a present.

Uh -oh.

Five dollars, thirty cents.

Silver ain't cheap.

Yeah, I know. I got my money saved up, Doctor.

All right, I'll get to it right away. In order, right? Thanks. Hey, Miss

Dorothy. While you're at it, I need you to order some printing supplies for me.

Ink, paper, oh, and some grease for that press.

Handle's sticking again. Dorothy, I need to speak with you.

I don't know how to put this delicately.

I'm afraid I need to call in your loan on the Gazette.

What?

Not by choice.

My hand was forced.

Look, if this is about sales dropping... It has nothing to do with that.

I merely need to liquidate certain assets as quickly as possible.

So unless you can come up with the money to purchase the Gazette outright...

You're selling the Gazette?

As I said, not by choice.

If you can come up with the money to buy the Gazette, it's yours.

If not, I'll expect full payment of your loan within the week.

I spoke to the Reverend. He said he'd be delighted to perform the ceremony.

And I talked to the Grace. She said she'd be happy to make the food for the

reception. That's perfect.

Well, your grandmother wired.

She's going to be unable to come to the wedding.

But she said she wants to give you a big reception in Boston during one of your

breaks from school.

She doesn't have to do that. Oh, I know. I told her that. You know, your

grandmother, she'll insist.

You should send a wire to your father, Ethan.

Tell him about the wedding.

I suppose I should.

But I'm going to make it clear that if he shows up, I don't want him to give me

away.

I want it to be you, Billy.

Well, I'd be honored.

Andrew, how are you holding up? You getting cold feet? Oh, on the contrary.

I've never been so excited in all my life.

I wish my parents were alive to see it.

Yeah.

Listen, Brian and I are looking forward to having you as a brother.

Thank you, Matthew. That means a lot.

Listen, I was wondering about something.

Would you consider being my best man?

Me? You don't have to.

Are you kidding? That'd be honor.

Thank you.

Thank you. Preston, open up.

You can't stay in there forever, Preston.

Come on out here.

I'll open up tomorrow, I promise.

You said that yesterday.

Horace, what's going on? Just got this paper from Denver. It says the stock

market crashed in New York.

Everybody's trying to get their money out of the bank.

It's important that we all do not panic.

Preston, come on out here.

Let's go.

want our money.

I'm afraid it's not as simple as that. You can't all just walk into the bank

demand to withdraw your money. Why not?

Look, the way banking works is that as you deposit your money, the bank in turn

invests that money to make more money, which is then passed back to you in the

form of interest on your deposits. So you see... What did you put their money

in?

Stocks. Which is how most banks invest their money.

Oftentimes purchased on margin.

Margin? Credit.

Ten cents on the dollar.

Unfortunately, as the stock market dropped, my broker demanded that I put

full value of the stock I'd purchased.

So what you're saying is you lost all these folks' money.

I lost my money as well. I don't care about your money. I want my money.

I'm not certain how elaborate the farewell luncheon will be.

Grace said she wouldn't have it in the cafe.

I don't need a farewell luncheon, Ma. Well, of course you do. It's a bridal

tradition.

Come on.

Oh,

no, it's not quite right.

The lace needs to be more pronounced.

I think it's fine the way it is.

Fine? It's not good enough, Colleen. The veil should be exquisite.

You really are starting to sound like Grandma.

I just want everything to be nice.

Grandma was never really happy about you marrying Sally, was she?

Well, she did have reservations at first, but she's grown. Are you happy

me marrying Andrew?

Colleen, my only concern about you marrying Andrew is that it's not done

fear of being alone in Philadelphia.

That wouldn't be fair to Andrew or you.

How could you think that?

I love Andrew and he loves me.

Then why don't you wait until you finish medical school to get married?

If you truly love each other now, you'll still love each other then.

This is not going to affect my schooling. I'm still going to be a

But what if... I mean, what if you became pregnant?

You're starting a family that's part of marriage.

Well, I'll just wait for that.

It may sound like a reasonable plan now, Colleen, but it'll be difficult.

Where the pressures of schoolwork or pregnancy would give you no choice. I

believe you're doing this.

All I want is what's best for you. You only want what you want.

We should have just eloped.

I think we should just leave and get married in Philadelphia.

No.

I mean, I mean, Michaela does have a point.

I would hate for anything to interfere with you in becoming a doctor.

I do love you, Colleen.

And I have no doubt that I'll feel the same way two years from now.

I only hope you'll feel the same.

Of course I will.

There's got to be something we can do. I had all my money in that bank.

I had all the church's tithe money in there as well.

You're the lucky ones, Jake.

Paid off your wife's mortgage and got me a sweet deal on a gold nugget. Grace

and me were thinking about putting our money in the bank.

I'm glad we didn't. How about you, Sullivan?

Me and Michaela don't do business with Preston anymore.

None of our family does.

I did.

I had all my savings in the bank.

When's Daniel getting back from Manitou? There ought to be some kind of law

against what Preston did. That's right. If a customer puts money in a bank, the

bank ought to be able to pay it back whenever the customer wants.

I'm sorry. I did some checking on it. Turns out what Preston did was not

illegal.

Lots of banks invest customers' money that way. Preston just got caught when

market crashed.

And we're the ones paying for Preston's greed.

We're all paying.

I'd like to send a telegram announcing the sale of the Spring Chateau and

Resort.

Who are you going to sell to?

We'll go buy it.

Why don't you just ask your father for the money?

What?

Why?

I've decided to wait until I finish medical school.

If you'll excuse me, I don't feel much like eating.

Send him back.

I won't be needing a surprise after all.

Cloud Dance didn't tell me about Preston and calling in your loan.

He said you were going to try to get a loan from another bank, though.

I did try.

I sent wires to eight banks in Denver and St. Louis. Not one of them was

remotely interested in giving me a loan.

Especially with a financial crisis sweeping the country.

Well,

I guess...

I guess the short time living a dream is better than no time at all.

Thank you, Lord.

Oh, Madden, your brain come in. Ain't it a beauty?

Can you send it back?

What?

I can't pay for it.

I had all my money in the bank.

Besides, the wedding's off anyway.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah.

I'll see you.

Come in.

Good morning, Michaela.

I was wondering if you had any more of those stinging nettle herbs I could

borrow. It's really worked wonders for Mrs. Negley's hay asthma.

I heard that Fredson's trying to sell the chateau.

Yes. Yes, I'm hoping the new owners will allow me to continue to run the clinic

there.

I thought you were starting your own practice.

I've decided to remain here in Colorado Springs.

I don't want to be a distraction to Colleen in Philadelphia.

Well, Andrew, I'm so sorry about... Oh, no, no, don't be.

You only want what's best for Colleen, as do I.

I would hate myself if in any way I hindered her dream about becoming a

Anyway, two years is nothing to wait.

Good luck.

Well, thank you. You're welcome.

Sally. Andrew.

Think of a better husband for Colleen.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately.

About Matthew and Ingrid.

Marjorie and Lauren.

A lot can happen in two years.

I just put Katie in a crib.

Connie, may I speak with you?

The other day in the cafe when you opened that letter and you learned that

been accepted in medical school.

That was one of the happiest days of my life.

And I realized that everything that you've accomplished in your life has

happy.

Very, very happy.

You're right, Colleen.

I have been acting like my mother.

It's not my happiness that matters here. It's yours.

And above everything, above going to medical school, above becoming a doctor,

I want you to make choices in your life that will make you happy.

And I'll always love you and support you.

No matter what those choices may be.

Ma, I do want to go to medical school.

And I do want to marry Andrew.

But I don't want to wait.

The sooner you get married, the better.

What do you want?

Have you found someone to buy the chateau yet?

No. Why?

Well, I have.

You have.

Investor friend of Senator Dinsden of California.

He's been looking to build a health spa in the Yellowstone National Park.

I told him I don't know why he'd want to start from scratch when we already got

one here in the Colorado Rockies.

We already got one?

Well, are you interested or not?

What's this?

Senator Dinsden has advised that I secure the services of Dr. Michaela

regards to the supervision of the medical clinic.

That's only until I can find someone else to assume the post.

He's waiting for an answer. What do I tell him?

Tell him I accept.

But know this.

If you think I'm finished here, you're wrong.

Hardly believe we're getting married tomorrow.

Me neither.

Colleen, are you absolutely sure about this?

Of course.

Aren't you?

It was the saddest day of my life when we decided to postpone the wedding.

And the happiest when we changed our minds.

Andrew... Your horse is walking off. What?

Nothing.

She's getting married today.

Our little Colleen. Can you believe it?

Oh, Charlotte, I wish you could see her.

She's so beautiful and smart and strong.

Just like her mother.

Seems like yesterday when you entrusted me with her care.

I only hope that I've raised her well.

As you would have done.

You did.

Of all the people she could have chosen to raise us,

she made the right choice.

Hey. Hey, you are. We've been looking all over for you.

I can't get this tired.

Do you want to help me with that? No.

Where's Andrew?

He's outside with the Reverend.

Good. Is Colleen here yet? Yeah, she's downstairs with Mom getting dressed.

Katie's with him. Good.

Let me give you a hand with that.

It's all right to be nervous.

The father of the bride usually is.

Not too tight.

Watch your look.

I love you, Pa.

Dearly beloved, we've come together today in the presence of God to witness

to bless the joining together of Colleen Cooper and Andrew Cook in holy

matrimony.

The union of husband and wife in heart, mind, and body is intended by God

for their personal joy and also for the help and comfort given one another

in prosperity and adversity.

Who gives this woman to be married to this man?

I do.

Do you, Andrew, take Colleen to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day

forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in thickness and in

health, to love and to cherish as long as you both shall live?

I do.

And do you, Colleen, take Andrew to be your husband, to have and to hold from

this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and

in health?

As long as you both shall live?

I do.

Here.

What is it?

It's the picture, friend.

I figured with the wedding back on, you were going to need a present to give to

your sister. So I took the liberty of getting a photograph from Dr. Mike. It's

in there already.

But I can't pay for it.

You'll pay me when you can. I trust you.

Thanks.

Here's your chance.

Brian, I, uh, I got you a present.

I'll keep it with me forever.

Will you dance with me?

Go ahead, please. I'm tired. I could use the rest.

Shall we dance?

You've been very quiet today. No, I'm just tired, I guess.

I was up all night.

Sketching.

Sketching?

Well, now the mortgage is paid off on your land.

Thought I'd build it this house on.

Beautiful, the day.

You're looking awfully handsome yourself.

It's been a long time since I've seen you so happy.

I figure I have reason to be.

I'm pregnant.

How is

it you're not dancing?

Oh, I don't feel much in the mood.

I, uh, been doing some calculating, and I got a little business proposition I'd

like you to consider.

Go on, open it.

What is this?

I, uh, spoke to my banker in Denver, and, uh...

Using the store as collateral, I took out a loan to buy the Gazette.

I figured you could pay me and I'd pay him.

Don't worry, I'll take it easy on you until your circulation gets back up.

I don't... I don't know what to say. Well, you could start out by offering me

free ads in the Gazette.

And I ain't talking about them little numbers on the back page. I'm talking

about fine big ads right in the middle of the...

Lauren Bray, you ought to be declared.

And you ought to be dancing.

I'd love to.

There you

go now. Go on.

Start dancing.

Sorry.
