All language subtitles for Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman S03e19 What Is Love

Mozart said love is the soul of genius.

Samuel Coleridge said love is flower
-like.

On the other hand, Samuel Daniel said
love is a thickness, all remedies

refusing.

For hundreds of years, men have been
trying to define love.

Now it's your turn.

As I'm sure you're all aware,
Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and

of the day, It's like you each to write
an essay that answers the question, what

is love?

Now, you can make it as long or as short
as you'd like.

What's important is that you give it a
lot of thought.

But I want your answers to come from
here, not here.

Dr. Mike.

Thank you, Robert E.

something the town can do for
Valentine's Day.

Romeo and Juliet, a play? What do you
think?

I want to put it on right here in town.

It sounds wonderful.

It's just been a dream of mine since I
was a child. I remember going to the

theater in St. Louis.

The people and the music and the
footlights just glowing on the stage.

Michaela, the curtains. They were deep
red brocade with golden trim.

Oh, it was all so exciting.

Will you help out? Of course, I'll do
whatever I can.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you. I'm going to go spread the
news.

I'm so excited.

Oh.

Morning.

Hey, Ma. How was school, Brian?

All right.

Ma, if you had to answer the question,
what is love?

What would you say?

Well, there are many ways to answer that
question.

Well, the Reverend wants us to write an
essay about it.

I see. Well, then it's up to you to
discover your own answers.

But how?

Well, you can start with observing
people, studying their relationships,

they communicate with each other.

Ow! Hey, Sully, what you doing?

Fixing the loose leg on this table for
your ma.

Did you get that hammer for me from
Robert E.? Oh, yes, here.

So when's the essay due?

Valentine's Day.

I didn't get any much time.

A question like that deserves a lot of
thought.

Yeah, that's what the Reverend said.

I guess I better start observing.

See you later, Sully. See you.

Speaking of Valentine's Day, I was
thinking that this year we could do

special.

Something special?

Well, yes, I thought we could set aside
the whole day just for the two of us.

We could take a picnic into the woods
and be back in time for Romeo and

Romeo and Juliet?

Dorothy's putting on a play this year.

And afterwards, we could finish the day
with a romantic dinner and model it

walk.

How does that sound?

All day?

No appointments or schedules? Just the
two of us?

I want this Valentine's Day to be
special.

Why, this year different than the
others.

Well, this year I'm engaged to be
married.

Oh,

I just love this play. I saw it when I
was young and it is so romantic.

Romantic? I thought you told me they
took poison at the end.

They took poison, Lauren, because they
couldn't bear to live without each

It's the most romantic story about love
ever written.

And we're going to do it upright, just
like in St. Louis, with sets and

and, oh, maybe even brocade curtains.

You can forget about brocade curtains.

All this town will be able to afford is
bed sheets.

We are going to hold auditions this
week.

I'll put an announcement in the event.

It's my favorite play.

I practically know all of Julia Klein's
already.

He'll get the part easy.

Are you going to audition?

Me? No.

Why not? There's lots of other female
roles.

I don't know. I don't think I'd be any
good at it.

Look how much fun it would be.

We'd get to wear makeup and hairstyles
and fancy costumes.

Well, it does sound like fun.

I pray, grant thou, let faith turn to
despair.

Saints do not move.

So grant, for prayer's sake.

Then move not, while my prayer is a fact
I take.

So I'm supposed to kiss you here?

Then do it.

It's your line.

Do I have to do this, Ingrid?

I feel silly.

Oh, please, Matthew. It helps me to
practice with someone.

Then have my lips the sin that they have
took.

Sin from my lips?

So just pass sweetly urged.

Give me my sin again.

Hey! Colleen!

Hey!

A pair of star -crossed lovers take
their life with...

misadventured... Hideous. Hideous.

Overthrows doth with their death...

bury their parents' stripes.

Don't make much sense.

Oh, it makes perfect sense.

You just gotta get used to the language.

I like that last story we read, the one
with the tell -tale heart.

Oh, Edgar Allan Poe. Now he could spin a
yarn.

I could never do nothing like that.

Oh,

it wasn't so long ago that you couldn't
even read.

And look at me.

A year ago, I'd never written much more
than a letter.

And now I am publishing the...
newspaper.

The best way to prove that you can do
something is to just do it.

Make up a story or a poem or anything.
Just put your thoughts down on paper.

My thoughts.

My thoughts.

Well, don't rush it.

When the time comes, you'll know what to
write.

Oh, Jake, you... come a long, long way.

I'm awfully proud of you.

What's wrong?

Nothing, ain't nothing.

I almost forgot. I got you something for
Valentine's Day.

You did?

I sent for it from Denver.

Thought it might look good on you.

Oh.

Oh, my.

Oh, I don't know what to say.

Say you'll wear it to supper Friday
night.

Stay, Gibble, stay.

Romeo, Romeo, Romeo.

Here's the drink.

I drink to thee.

Wonderful, Colleen. Well done.

Thanks. I didn't love this part.

Sure is a lot of love in this town.

I talked Becky into a Disney with me.

She didn't want to. I think she was just
shy.

Well, perhaps being in the play will
help her overcome her shyness.

That's what I was thinking.

Sorry I'm late.

Is there any supper left?

There's plenty.

Matthew's auditioning for the play, too.

Really, Matthew?

I am not auditioning for the play.

I was just helping Ingrid.

And I don't appreciate being spied on.

I wasn't spying. All right, you two.

Colleen, Brian, it's getting late.

I can't go to bed now. I need to
practice my lines.

I think you're more than adequately
prepared.

Come on.

Good night.

Good night, Sully. Good night.

Good night.

I'm really looking forward to
Valentine's Day.

I was thinking perhaps we could ride out
to that valley you were telling me

about, the one with the waterfall.

We could take a picnic lunch and
exchange presents.

Presents?

We didn't give presents last year.

Oh, you don't have to give me anything.
It's just... No, no.

It's all right. I want to.

Oh, no, you don't have to.

Wretched boy, the ditz consortium here
shall with him hence.

This shall determine that.

No offense, Dorothy, but you got Horace
trying out for the wrong part.

He ain't no villain.

Then, Hank, maybe you should read for
the part.

No, thanks.

Wouldn't know the first thing about
being evil.

And I suggest you keep your comments to
yourself.

Horace, thank you. Thank you, Robert E.

Next up is Ingrid.

Come up with me.

What? Oh, please, Matthew.

I need you to help me.

If you love me, you will do this.

Oh, Ingrid.

For prayer's sake, stand high. Are you
ready, Becky?

I can't do this.

Sure you can.

Here.

You can borrow my wishing stone.

Grandma Quinn gave it to me from the
castle in Ireland.

It brings good luck to whoever holds it.

Becky, you're up next.

I want to thank everybody for
auditioning. It was a difficult

But I think we got ourselves an
excellent cast.

Rehearsals start tomorrow.

Lyra, you got the part of the nurse.

And I got Tybalt.

What about me?

Robert, you got Capulet.

Grace, you got Lady Capulet.

Reverend, you got Friar Lawrence.

What part did Ingrid get?

Ingrid got Lady Montague.

Matthew.

You got Romeo.

What?

Who got Juliet?

Becky.

What did Colleen get?

Oh, did Colleen get... Samson.

That's a boy's part.

Guess they ran out of boys.

That's a boy's part.

Frank, you're the apothecary.

Ezra, you're the prince of Verona.

It's all a commotion.

Dorothy just posted the cast list.

Where were you?

I was out at the reservation.

I'm planning on having an Indian Affairs
conference in a few weeks in Denver,

and a cloud dancer wants me to go.

In a few weeks?

February 12th through the 15th.

The 14th is Valentine's Day.

Pick me.

I'll just tell him I can't make it,
that's all. No, no, you should go.

The conference is far more important.

We can have a picnic another time.

You sure?

Positive.

Oh, it's just a day.

Like any other day.

Oh, now, we're going to need some chairs
and maybe some more benches.

Oh, curtains.

What am I going to do about curtains?

Well, I got some old burlap.

What's that going to have to do?

Oh, you could have just seen those red
brocade curtains.

Excuse me.

Is something the matter?

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Well, of course.

I was just wondering.

What did I do wrong?

Oh, Colleen, you didn't do anything
wrong.

I can do better. I know I can. Colleen,
listen to me.

Every girl wants to be Juliet.

But I could only pick one.

And Becky... Well, she's a natural.

You were very good, too, but... Oh,
sorry.

It was a hard choice.

Would you like to be Becky's understudy?

Would you like that?

Oh, good.

Then we'll see you at birth.

Colleen, wait.

I just wanted to tell you that I'm
really sorry you didn't get the part.

It's all right.

I mean, I couldn't believe Miss Dorothy
gave it to me.

I still can't believe it.

I'll believe it.

And I've got you to thank for it. I
mean, if you hadn't talked me into it, I

wouldn't have got it.

I know.

Are you mad?

No. Yes, sir. I said I'm not mad, all
right?

Enjoy those jawbreakers.

Just what do you think you're doing?

Lauren Bray.

Snooping around my things like a common
thief.

Where'd you get that?

I believe that's none of your business.

It's from Jake, isn't it?

I know what he's doing.

Trying to get you all gussied up like
one of Hank's girls.

Oh, that dress is nothing like that.

I ain't just talking about that dress.

I'm talking about the whole way he
treats you.

He treats me with respect. He's a
changed man.

Oh, he's nothing of the sort.

I'm telling you, Dorothy, he don't even
look at you the way he used to.

And what do you mean by that?

Now, you listen to me.

If you keep on seeing him, you're going
to get hurt.

He's making an effort to better himself,
which is more than some men can claim.

And through the white...

Upturned wandering eyes of mortals. Wait
a minute, Matthew. Remember to move

closer to Becky on that line.

Who falls back to

gaze upon him.

He bestrides the lazy puffing clouds and
sails upon the bosom of the air.

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?

Die, Father, and refuse thy name.

Or, if thou wilt not be but sworn my
love, and I shall no longer be Capulet.

Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at
this?

How's the rehearsal coming?

All right.

I've been watching Becky this past week,
and she's doing very well.

The shiner seems to have vanished, just
as you thought.

Yeah.

I don't think you'd be happy that your
friend was doing so well.

Dr. Mike, can you come quick?

Becky's taken ill.

What's wrong?

She's looking awfully pale.

Let's get her to the clinic.

She had laryngitis brought on by a mild
catarrh.

I'm afraid she's lost her voice.

Lost her voice?

For how long? I'm not sure. It can vary.

But Valentine's Day's only a week away.

Colleen.

Colleen is Becky's understudy. She could
take the part.

Colleen can't play Juliet. I'd have to
kiss her. Oh, well, just be a peck on

cheek, quick, and painless.

What about it, Colleen? Will you do it?

How are you feeling?

I've got no voice.

Dr. Mike says it'll only last a few
days.

You'll be fine with the play.

What if I'm not?

Well, just in case, I'll be taking over
for you.

But I'm sure you'll be fine.

I guess you'll be needing this back.

That was a lovely supper, Jake.

Only the best for you.

It's a beautiful night, don't you think?

Sure is.

Let's look at this.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the look in your eyes,
the way you touch me.

It hasn't been the same since my
operation.

No, wait a minute. That ain't true. Oh,
gee.

Your tell -tale heart is beating. I can
hear it.

Dorothy? Tell me.

Look in my eyes.

Look.

And tell me that I'm the same person to
you.

Tell me you still feel the way you used
to.

Dorothy, wait.

How tedious is the day?

The night before some festival, a
patient child who hath new robe and may

wear them.

Here comes my nurse, and she brings
news.

Good.

Kayla,

are you sure you're all right with me
going to that Indian conference?

Of course, it's important that you be
there.

I wouldn't go if I wasn't. I know.

But it is. So you should go.

All right.

All right.

Oh, there you are.

Dorothy's been asking about you. You're
late for rehearsals.

What is it? What's wrong?

Dr. Mike, I... Oh, dear, you better come
with me to the clinic.

Laryngitis?

Both.

I'm afraid the catarrh seems to be
spreading.

We ain't got another epidemic on our
hands, have we? No, no, it's not

It's very mild.

It's hardly even a fever. Yes, but what
about the play?

That's two actors we have to replace.

Well, perhaps Lauren could take Horace's
role.

Me? In tights? Oh, no. Oh, no. Well, who
else is there?

Well, I guess I could take Myra's role,
but as for Horace's... Why don't you ask

Jake? I'm sure he'd do it for you, since
he's such a changed man and all.

What about Hank?

I think he could play the part rather
well, actually. That means you just

the production.

I am not asking you.

And I don't care to hear your opinion.

Dorothy, I was just trying to... You
were buttoned in where you don't belong,

like always.

Telling me what to do, thinking you know
what's best for me. Well, I'm telling

you the play will go on, come rain or
shine. And I'm not...

Same as everyone else.

I made you some tea.

How are you feeling?

if I let me stay here.

I couldn't bear another minute under the
same roof with that man.

And now, the one thing I was looking
forward to is coming apart at the seams.

Well, I guess I got no choice but to
cancel the play.

No.

The play will go on.

Come rain or shine, just like you said,
I'll take over the running of the play

until you recover.

I've already spoken to Hank.

It took a little persuading.

Well, quite a lot, actually.

But he finally agreed to take Horace's
part.

Well, what about my part?

Oh, I'll do that as well.

You? Of course, the nurse.

I'm qualified.

How do you think of me?

Not as easy as I thought.

Mom, look.

We have a whole lot of scenes together.

Isn't it great?

Let's just hope I can learn all the
lines.

You will. It'll be easy. I'll help you.

Look, do you know Becky today?

She seems to be doing much better.

Oh.

Is it good?

It is.

Her voice is coming back.

Her strength is returning.

Will she be well enough to be in the
play?

I don't know. I suppose that would be up
to her.

Yeah, I guess.

Mind if I come in?

Look, Dorothy.

What happened the other night, I just...
I want to explain.

Go ahead.

You see...

I had a tough day, and I just let it
spoil the good time we were having.

It won't happen again.

I promise.

What's wrong?

That's it.

You had a tough day.

Oh, J .K.

But you do better than that.

All my life, I've been hurting, feeling
weak.

But these last few years, I feel like
I've changed.

And not for the worse, for the better.

I'm enjoying it on my own.

I finally know who I am.

And I... I'm a complete woman.

Complete.

Thank you for the flowers.

But whatever there was between us, it's
over now.

Ah. Ah.

Excellent.

Well, you appear to be back to normal.

Thanks, Dr. Mike.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I need to get
a thing from the other room.

Hey, Becky.

Hey, Colleen.

Your voice sounds great.

I should get going.

I've got to work on my essay.

I haven't even started mine yet.

So, do you think you'll come back to the
play?

No, you do the part.

After all, you're the one who wanted it
in the first place, and your mom says

you've been doing really good in it.

You were good, too.

No, I wasn't.

You deserve to be Juliet.

I shouldn't have even auditioned in the
first place.

Gotta get going. See ya.

See ya.

All right, folks.

We're ready to start rehearsing. I want
everyone to clear the stage, please.

Robert E., how are the sets coming?

We're doing the best we can.

But we're gonna go on in two days. I
know, but I still got lines to learn.

be watching himself rehearse in the
mirror.

I told you not to tell anybody. Dr.
Mike, which hat?

Well, um, this one.

Dr. Mike, Dorothy has given me two
parts.

I'm sorry, I'm getting a little short on
actors. But now I see that both parts

are in the same scene. How do I play two
parts in one scene?

Well, we'll give your second part to
someone else, and you can take another

person's part who isn't in the same
scene as your first part.

Yeah. I've been thinking, this business
about me getting killed in the middle of

the play, it won't make no sense.

What do you mean?

Well, everybody knows what the villain
gets to do at the end of the play.

I'm sorry, you can't be rewriting.
Everyone, please, clear the stage,

Boy,

that's a wonderful costume, Matthew.

Ingrid made it, but don't you think it's
a little tight? I think you look very

handsome in it. Now, all we need are
some shoes.

I have them.

I'll wear these.

Why not?

Because they'll look ridiculous.

Those belong to my father.

Ingrid, I'm sorry. I'm not going to wear
those boots. I think I'm going to let

you two sort this out.

Dr. Knight, I'm having a little trouble
with one of my scenes.

Trouble? What kind of trouble? Well, my
character administers a drug to Juliet

to make her appear dead.

You think that's a little far -fetched
for a man of God?

I got it.

What now?

It's the end of the play. They're in the
tomb. Juliet is dead. Romeo is going,

oh, woe is me and that stuff.

Here's the noise behind him. It's
Tybalt, ready to fight to the death.

But Hank, Tybalt's already dead.

Oh, that's the surprise. The friar here
gives him the same drug that he gave

Juliet. What do you think?

Heading out?

Yep.

Sure wish I didn't have to miss
Valentine's Day.

Well, I've missed my sheriff holidays in
the past.

Wait a minute.

You're going away for Valentine's Day?

Yeah. But I'll be back real soon, I
promise.

But you can't leave.

You and Mom made plans.

Well, Brian, sometimes love means making
compromises and sacrifices.

But it ain't right.

You can't be apart for Valentine's Day.

Well, it's just a day like any other
day.

No, it isn't.

It was going to be special. You said so
yourself.

I'm sorry.

What's in a name?

That which we call a rose by any other
name would smell as sweet.

So Romeo would.

Were he not... What are you doing here?

Miss Dorothy's right.

You are a natural.

You should be playing Juliet, not me.

It's too late.

No, it isn't.

But Valentine's Day is tomorrow.

You already know most of your lines, and
I'll help you learn the rest.

I thought you wanted to play Juliet.

I do.

But it ain't right.

You won the part, and you should be
playing it.

I can't.

Yes, you can.

And you'll do great.

Remember how it felt to be up there?

Remember how much fun you had?

I want you to have it.

To keep.

What about you? What will you do?

Well, I hear the product of Stamson's
available.

Villain am I none, therefore farewell,
and thee thou know'st me not.

Boy, thou shalt not excuse the injuries
that thou hast done me.

Therefore turn and draw, and I'll hack
off your head before you count to three.

Wait a minute, stop, stop.

Hack off your head is not in the play.

I fixed that line a little.

You can't just change the lines, Hank.

I think it's better.

Not only that, it rhymes.

Hey, Lord.

Hey, Tony.

Happy Valentine's Day.

What are you doing out here?

Waiting for the stage.

I got a delivery coming in.

Wait out here?

I don't want nobody in town to see it.
It's a surprise for Dorothy.

The longer I sit here and think about
it, the more I feel like just getting on

that stage and riding on out of here.

Not Bolivia again.

Any place would be better than here.

Can't stand the thought of one more day
in that town with her, letting her walk

all over me the way she does.

Yeah, women are hard to figure
sometimes.

You got that right.

Well, what you do is not enough.

You keep doing it, and you know why.

Yeah, I know.

Because I'm a blind fool, that's why.

Because you're in love.

Wish to God I wasn't. Make my life a lot
easier.

Think about it, Lorne.

About the time she had that operation,
you almost lost her?

Think about the way you felt then.

That's what you'd be feeling now if you
got on that stagecoach.

What are you doing here?

Dr. Mike said you was off at some Indian
conference.

I was.

Left early.

Why?

In a blind pool.

Look!

I wish I could say all this to your
face, but the words don't ever come out

right.

So I'm doing what you told me, putting
my thoughts on paper.

I just want to say I'm sorry if I hurt
you.

And I want to thank you for teaching me
to read and write.

And I only hope, after all this, you can
still find it in your heart to call me

a friend.

Respectfully.

Check.

Dorothy! Dorothy!

Wherefore art thou, Dorothy?

But, oh, what light through yonder
window breaks?

What on earth is going on?

She speaks.

Oh, speak again, bright angel.

For thy laryngitis seemeth to have
healed.

Stop it. You're making a scene.

What are you doing dressed like that?

I'm in a play.

I even got a line. You want to hear it?
No, I know. I have heard enough, thank

you. Where have you been?

Come hither and I'll show thee.

I'm not going nowhere.

I don't feel much like it.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

Well then, if thou won't come hither,
I'll needs come thither and fetcheth.

thee.

I ordered them all the way from Denver.
Oh!

Oh,

they're

beautiful.

Take your places, everyone. It's almost
time.

Please, don't forget your entrance this
time. And try to stick to the text.

Grace, over here.

Stop from the other side.

Robert E.

We need the board.

Right.

Dorothy. Michaela, I'm back.

And if you don't mind, I'd like to
resume my duties.

If you insist.

Ready?

Ready.

Two households, both

alike in dignity, in fair Verona where
we lay our scenes, from ancient grudge

break to new mutiny.

where civil blood makes civil hands
unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two
foes, a pair of star -crossed lovers

take their life, whose misadventured,
piteous overthrows, doth with their

bury their parents' strife.

Sully, wait.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Sully.

It's beautiful.

I bought it a few months back.

I've been waiting for Valentine's Day to
give it to you.

What is love? By Brian Cooper.

Love is a bunch of red brocade curtains
that came all the way from Denver.

Love is a pair of old boots that once
belonged to Ingrid's father.

Love is a lucky stone that your grandma
gave you from a far -off land.

And love is an engagement ring saved up
to be given on a day that's special.

Are thou drawn amongst these heartless
hinds? Turn thee, Benvolio. Look upon

death. I do but keep the peace.

I better take my place. My scene is
coming up.

I'll be waiting here for you.
