All language subtitles for Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman S03e28 For Better or Worse (1)

Thank you.

I'll be careful there, will you?

Look what you're doing.

You know how much we paid for that sign?

Tell us again, we'll haul you up here,
and you're going to hang it yourself.

Can you help me over here?

Careful, fellas. The door frame's still
wet.

It is the custom to conduct a rehearsal
supper on the evening of the third day

prior to the wedding.

The size of the wedding party will
determine both the seating plan and the

There. Oh, that lace has just come along
perfect.

It's going to look so beautiful across
your shoulders.

Colleen, will you please read that part
again about the rehearsal supper?

That really isn't necessary, Grace.

Oh, no siree. This is going to be the
grandest wedding that Colorado Springs

will ever see. You bet.

Sully and I appreciate your enthusiasm,
but... Enthusiasm?

Well, it's the most exciting thing
that's ever happened to the town. What,

the train coming in three days and then
your wedding a week later? It's just the

ground isn't really how Sully and I
pictured it. Oh, speaking of pictures,

come sit down.

I want you to take a look at these
necklines.

Now, what do you think about this one? I
love this one.

Of course, this one's beautiful, too.

I love the way that it looks in the
back.

Ain't it grand?

Sure, if what you want's a train rolling
in town.

Of course that's what we want.

Sully's got more on his mind than trains
about now.

That's right, Jake.

Sure it is.

Like the wedding night, for instance.

Well, I'm betting on the baby brother.

Crane.

Well, he wants a baby sister, so we made
a bet.

It's on my mind, Jake.

He's asking Robert E. here if he can fix
my buck saw.

Broke the blade.

I can do that.

What's wrong with Sully?

He'd be happy to finally get to... Hank!

I think this discussion can hold.

It's all right, Reverend.

Ma told us about the birds and the bees.

I doubt she told you Hank's version.

Speaking of bets, I'm ready to wager
that Sully don't go through with it.

playing crazy.

Well, he don't sound too keen to me.

He's still bad.

One cloud dancer would be his best man.

But since Rashida...

General Custer killed Snowbird.

My friend, no harm.

Remember?

Killing Braves is one thing.

Killing women and children is another.

Well, still putting odds at two to one.

Any takers?

At all weddings of any pretensions,
ushers' cards are used to

avoid the church being filled with
sightseeing strangers. I'm sorry.

There's something I must do.

Sorry.

Dr. Mikes is feeling a little low
because Grandma's not coming. Oh, well,

can blame her?

Imagine a mother not coming to her own
daughter's wedding. What about the rest

of her family?

Sounds to me like Grandma rules that
roost.

Yeah, we'll be the same without cloud
dancing.

That's my best friend.

Still no word from your family?

Same without them either.

I'm afraid not.

I'll be your family.

And I'll be your best friend.

It is a fine house.

Yes, it is.

Ingrid, what's wrong? What is it?

We will never have a house.

Matthew's always too busy with his
cattle to finish the building.

Well, Sully's offered to help him, but
Matthew always seems to have a reason

to need it.

Oh, with excuses.

He's stubborn with pride.

He tries to prove he is... a man when he
already is one yeah

all done good job brian silly can i be
your

best man brian you're too young but i'm
too old to carry the ring

that's who mrs godfrey in the book it
says the ring bearer is supposed to be

from three to eight years old see i'm 10
years old well

What if you were to carry more than one
ring?

Does Mrs. Godfrey say anything about
that?

No. But there's only one ring.

Everybody knows that.

Apparently not everyone. I've heard of
couples exchanging rings.

Is that what you and Sully are going to
do?

We've never discussed such a thing.

We sure haven't.

But that doesn't mean that we can't.

Does it?

I ain't wearing a ring.

I thought you agreed we could discuss
it. That's right, and we just did.

She didn't even hear my opinion.

Michaela, no matter what it is, I ain't
wearing a wedding ring, so why waste

your breath?

Well, discussion implies hearing all
views and then deciding.

Go ahead.

Well, there are a lot of couples.

Quick change rings. Many, in fact.

And I haven't only heard of them, I've
met some of them. My father's Libertas

friends.

Libertas?

Freethinkers. People who aren't afraid
to defy convention.

I'm not afraid.

No, I never said you were afraid.

Please, this isn't going the way that I
wanted it to.

No, what you wanted me to do is say yes.

No.

No, I just wanted us to share our
thoughts, our feelings.

You've always been there for me, silly.

You've always heard me out.

Well, if each of us wears a ring, we're
telling the world that we belong to each

other, that we're husband and wife, and
that nothing else is necessary to prove

that.

Do you get that?

There's nothing that you can't say to
me.

You know that.

Rings mean so much more than a name.

Tell me honestly, how would you feel if
suddenly you had to change your name to

Byron Quinn?

Cheyenne don't change their names when
they marry.

You're not Cheyenne.

You're not going to settle any of this
right now.

Two rings, you say?

I don't see what's so much harder about
carrying two rings than one. But you

gotta be over it.

Sully's going along with it.

Dr. Mike said they hadn't talked it
over. And Sully said they sure haven't.

How do you... Kind of mad.

Odds just doubled, folks.

What about my bet?

A baby brother or a baby sister?

I think you're putting the cart before
the horse.

Miss Godfrey's book said bridesmaids
just have to be older than 13.

15's about average, I'd say.

Fifteen, you say, huh?

Yeah. My age.

Oh, Colleen, you and me.

I want you to be a bridesmaid.

You do?

Of course.

But you didn't say anything.

I've been much too preoccupied lately.

Have you been hoping to hear from
Boston?

I suppose so.

Would you do me the honor?

I ain't had enough time to decide yet.

I know.

I didn't come here for any decisions.

I came to talk about Matthew and Ingrid.

What about them?

Apparently Matthew thinks he has to
prove his manhood by building his own

homestead all by himself.

That's such a bad idea.

Sully.

Ever since Olive left him her cattle,
she hasn't had enough time to do

Then he should have taken me up on my
offer. What offer?

To take the old homestead. You offered
it to him?

Once ago.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't see any reason to set you going
on about it.

Like now? Is that how you see what I'm
doing?

Going on about it?

A man's got to make those kind of
choices for himself.

So did a woman.

Everybody's not here to do anything.

Patience is not one of my virtues.

I'm expecting a shipment of munitions.

Meanwhile, place this in full public
view.

By mandate of federal law.

You know how there's a day you plan on
for such a long time. It gets so you

think it's never going to come.

And then it does.

Dorothy,

I've been meaning to ask.

Would you be my matron of honor?

Oh, my dear.

Dorothy.

What is it?

I could use some advice from someone
who's had experience.

Well, don't you worry. Disease has
fallen off the lock.

Remember, I've never fallen off a lock.

I'll tell you everything I know.

For whatever it's worth.

Didn't figure you'd come out to see the
train.

I didn't.

Came for something else.

I'm real sorry, Sully, but I had to put
it up.

It's the law.

Here it is.

Who's John?

You know, John who got burned in a train
wreck and lost his face.

You're kidding.

Hey, look at this.

Hey, how are you?

As mayor, it's my privilege to welcome
the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad to

Colorado Springs.

My munitions, gentlemen.

I should think you'd want to start off
on the right foot by making your

deliveries on time.

General Coster, I think it's only polite
that we wait until tomorrow to unload

the freight and get on with the
celebrating.

Don't you?

Why, of course.

Only polite.

Ladies and gentlemen, the first
passenger to travel by train to

our fair town.

I was worried that you weren't coming.

Not worried enough to accommodate your
own mother's or your sister's schedule,

the slightest bit.

Well, I was told that May 20th was the
date the wedding had to take place.

Told by whom? A close friend.

What on earth was this friend basing
such a mandate upon?

Spiritual guidance.

The reverend told you what day you had
to marry?

No, well... Cloud dancing picture.

Cloud dancing?

I should have known.

The whim of some Indian is more
important than... Isn't it a flower

Then I'll thank you not to refer to him
as some Indian. An Indian?

And he was not a whim.

He was given a sign.

The important thing is that we've all
gathered together for the wedding of our

beloved Michaela and Mr.

Sully and to celebrate it with joy.

Nobody treats my girls like that.

Understand?

A beak and a lady.

May I?

No, you may not.

It means to almost meet you.

That's Hank.

Hank, his son.

Hank. He's rather charming.

In a provincial sort of way.

He's a pig.

Yes, well... Well, what do you think?

It doesn't look the same to me.

I mean the sign.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

It was a birthday present from the whole
town.

The entire town.

It's very nice, Michaela.

Yes, very nice.

Well, I realize it might not be as
fancy. It may not.

And fancy?

Really, Michaela, you're vernacular.

What? You're beginning to sound more
like these rustics than us.

Well, your accent changed somewhat, but
I think it's charming.

Really? No one said anything.

How would they know?

So, what do I sound like now?

Neither here nor there.

Everyone's sick enough to be needing a
room right now, so you'll each have your

own. Sick.

These are Dr. Mike's recovery rooms.

Don't worry. We clean them real good.
Well, you clean them well.

Right.

But if anyone comes down with something,
you may have to double up.

I'll save you the trouble. I'll simply
stay at a hotel.

All the way in Manitou? Manitou what?

Manitou. It's ten miles from here.

It's the nearest hotel.

The rooms are lovely, Michaela.

Especially this one with the balcony,
Marjorie. Stop it!

McKenna.

your sister has never had the funniest
of dispositions.

Something's wrong.

I'm afraid it's true.

It's been over a year since Everett
abandoned her.

One would think she'd be feeling
somewhat better, or at least resolved.

Instead, she grows worse by the day.

Or bitter by the hour.

Have you any antidote for betrayal,
Michaela?

be possible to pick up our freight
tomorrow.

Freight? I brought a few things for the
wedding. A few things?

As much of Boston as would fit into a
freight compartment.

And some that wouldn't.

I've ordered a string quartet from
Denver.

But mother... No, but I didn't come all
this way not to do this wedding

properly.

And this one?

China.

Silver.

Crystal. Linen.

Kraus 2.

Crusoe. Crusoe.

Bridal party attire and a wedding gown.

Mother, I... Oh, it's just divine.

Mother had it made in London. The tails
as well.

It's nice of you to go to all this
trouble, Mrs. Quinn.

Mikhail and I got our own plans.

I'll go check with Horsey where he can
keep all this till the wedding's over.

Over?

But these things are the wedding.

A wedding isn't about things, Mother.

Have these crates delivered to the
church, please?

But, uh... They belong to me.

It's a van.

They're probably at Grace's for lunch.
We can talk to her there.

Sorry, Zoe. Please try not to overreact.

What?

Cutter made horse. Put that up
yesterday.

Sergeant.

General George on phone. Cutter, yes,
sir.

Marjorie? Rebecca?

We've just traveled all the way from
Boston for Michaela's wedding.

You will be attending court.

Of course.

I wouldn't dream of missing the social
event of the year.

Sir.

Please take care of Miss Eunice's
daughter.

You wouldn't have to know the
whereabouts of that Indian now, would

Sully?

It has two stories, three fireplaces. I
got my own room. Me too.

And it has indoor plumbing.

Appreciate all the help you gave me on
the house, Matthew.

Wasn't nothing.

You built it yourself.

I guess mostly, but I didn't have
anything standing in my way.

Didn't have a herd of cattle to look
after.

The way I see it, that herd's just going
to keep getting bigger and bigger.

Taking up more of your time.

I can't take the old homestead selling.

Matthew, you'll be doing me a favor.

I don't want to see you go alone.

You don't understand.

It's too big a gift.

Well, Olive's herd wasn't too big a
gift. She died.

What do I got to do?

Die in order to give it to you?

No.

Don't joke like that.

Then just think about it, at least.

All right.

There.

Yeah.

Come on.

Oh.

Isn't it wonderful? It's absolutely
charming.

It's larger.

What a beautiful view, Michaela.

Yes, isn't it?

Well, I agree with Mother.

It's the same as the other cabin, only
somewhat larger.

No, it's so much more than that. There's
two stories, three fireplaces, and more

rooms. It's larger.

The indoor plumbing.

What? This?

With all due respect, this is a latrine.

Not a sewer system.

But this is not Boston.

Precisely. That really is the point,
Michaela. This is a lovely home for

Colorado Springs.

That we can all agree on, can't we?

Of course.

It's lovely.

Good night, Michaela.

That's Matthew, the way that kid... Got
to talk.

Actually, I got to talk.

My name wasn't good enough. Now our
house ain't good enough. I saw how you

turned it and you looked at it through
their eyes.

I have heard more than I ever wanted to
about Boston and Colorado Springs. Where

you live is in here.

And what I want to know is when are you
going to start looking at the world

through our eyes?

Where are you going?

Something I gotta do. I don't know why I
waited this long.

I'll wait.

I believe everyone's left.

Oh, it's so nice to see you all again.

And I understand you're doing the
catering.

The food.

Oh, yes, ma 'am.

Here's the menu.

Mother, this has a perfectly lovely
dinner planned.

What's this?

It's a lace.

It's going all over Michaela's wedding
dress.

You can stop worrying about a wedding
dress this very minute.

Well?

It's stunning.

Of course it is.

And will you look at that skirt?

And the train is six feet long.

Well, I've always liked long trains on
wedding dresses.

What about these puff sleeves?

Aren't they just delicious?

Well, actually, the top is a little bit
too flouncy for my taste.

Well,

I do miss the lace.

And there's a groom's tuxedo and
bridesmaid's dresses, usher's suits,

course, a lovely matron of honor's dress
for Rebecca.

But... Oh, Mother, I believe Michaela
already has a matron of

honor.

I don't mind. But, no, really, Michaela,
your ma's right. It's tradition.

And that wedding dress.

Nothing we can make could ever compare
to that.

Well, that's not true.

Yes, it is.

And we all know it.

Sully's horse, sir, but he ain't here.

You, secure Mr. Sully's horse.

I have missed my brother.

You will marry soon.

Yes. It's not why I come.

A good marriage is one of the most
important things a man can make in his

lifetime.

We are the lucky ones. We found women
strong enough to carry the weight of a

good marriage.

That you will find happiness with a
wife.

This reminds me of the happiness I had
with Snowbird.

You think of her often.

I do not.

I do not have to.

She fills me.

That is why I no longer need this.

This is my wedding shirt from Snowbird.

You must wear it for us on your wedding
day.

I wanted you to be my best man.

Stand beside me.

Best man.

After all that has happened, I often
wonder if I'm still a man at all.

You're a thousand times a man, Custer.
It is cloud dancing.

He's put a bounty on your head.

Why is this?

I no longer ride with the dog soldiers.

I do not have the heart for their
bloodshed.

I am alone and have no harm to anyone.

It's because you're a leader.

A medicine man.

If Custer is meant to kill me, I cannot
stop it.

You can run. Go as far away from here as
you can.

One cannot run from fate.

I will be this best man for you.

No, it's too dangerous.

You just lost me, my prey.

No, Mr. Sully.

You just lost me, mine.

The salmon mousse is slipping. The
souffle is falling.

The ice is melting.

My rehearsal supper wouldn't have been
slipping, falling, or melting.

As soon as Sully comes, you will tell

him yes, yeah? If Sully comes.

Thank you. I didn't say that.

Oh, did I tell you you look beautiful
tonight?

No, you've been too busy phoning over
Mrs. Quinn. Now, hold on there, young

lady. Oh, that's the nicest thing you've
said all week.

What do you like, son?

You don't look so good.

I mean, you look beautiful.

Kind out of sorts.

Thank you, Sergeant.

I got people waiting on me gonna worry.

So they should. You can't hold me here
forever.

True.

I could just kill you now. Be done with
it. But you won't.

No, no.

Because you've been doing a little too
much of that lately.

People got their eye on you.

People in high places.

But I can still kill your friend. You
could.

Then I'd have to kill you.

Well, now, you've amused me, Mr. Sully.

And for that, I'm going to set you free.

Well, come now.

You've got a reputation to protect.

You're the mountain man who doesn't need
things like guns and horses, isn't that

right?

Well, yes, that's right.

You better go now before I change my
mind.

Don't worry. He'll be here.

You don't understand.

I only left two nights ago and he was
angry with me.

I can't blame him. I let Mother barge in
here and take over everything.

I made demands on him that may be
impossible.

I wouldn't blame him if he changed his
mind.

I wouldn't blame him if he never came
back.

I trust you had a good breakfast at
Grace's?

It was, as they say, hearty.

Then we'd better hurry.

I take it you've heard nothing from Mr.
Sully?

He must have been unable to get word to
us.

In fact, I'm worried that something may
have happened to him.

Well, something did indeed happen.

I mean to Sully. I mean to you.

You were stood up. Oh, don't be
ridiculous.

Sully would never do that to Mom. Yeah.

I'm afraid love has nothing to do with
it. There are simply some men who, when

faced with the final commitment, leave
women standing at the altar.

He did not leave me standing at the
altar, Mother.

At least he had the good grace not to
wait until your wedding day.

Stop jumping to conclusions. I'm simply
trying to protect you from further

humiliation. You can't actually plan to
proceed.

I plan to find out what happened to him.
He may be hurt. He may need my help.

Why would he have left in the first
place unless what Mother is saying is

He must have his reasons.

Even if he was one of those men like
Grandma said, he would never just run

Paul ran away.

You see?

Even a child is being more sensible than
you, Michaela.

Face it.

Your Sully was never a suitable choice
for a husband.

Since when are you an expert on choosing
husbands?

I know Sully would never run off and
leave me for some trollop.

Come along, children.

Better let me talk to her.

I beg your pardon?

Marjorie and me, we understand each
other.

Oh, really?

Well, then perhaps you can explain why
she's always so vile to me. Can you do

that? Yeah.

First of all, it's as plain as a nose on
your face.

She's jealous of you.

Always has been.

She had all the boyfriends.

And where to get her?

Jilted and sick.

Sick?

I guess you're too close to see, Doc.

What are you talking about?

The fever and stomach aches and come and
go.

I've seen it in my girls plenty of
times, Michaela.

That husband left her with more than
anybody suspects.

Leave me alone.

No, I won't.

It seems you've had too much of being
left alone.

Save your pity.

It's not pity.

I'm feeling fairly alone myself at the
moment.

I came here to give you this.

What is it?

Black seed.

I want you to drink a tea brewed from
it.

several times a day until the infection
subsides, then I'll give you an

injection of silver nitrate. It's
usually all that's necessary.

In any case, it is curable.

I kept meaning to go to Dr. Kittredge.

I understand.

It's not your fault. Everett gave it to
you.

Everett!

Marjorie can't be told.

Look, if you want me to apologize for
slapping you, I apologize.

You want me to thank you for giving me
this?

Well, thank you.

I didn't come here because I want
apologies or thank yous. I came here

because... I wanted to be...

Well, he does come back.

Here you go.

Oh, thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Oh, well, thank you.

All right, good luck. Thank you very
much.

Hey, bud.

Hey, John.

Something bothering you?

I just ain't fitting in.

Too old to be the ring bearer.

I'm too young to be an usher or a best
man.

You know, the last time I was here, it
was me who didn't fit in, remember?

Yeah, but that was just because of your
train accident and your face being all

burned up.

But Ma fixed you, and now you're a train
engineer again and everything.

I owe that to you, Brian.

And now I'm gonna help you fit in.

How are you gonna do that?

Well, the train is laid over for
repairs.

And I got an idea.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I missed the rehearsal. Custer
had me.

Custer.

I wanted to warn Cloud Hanson.

Custer and some of his men followed me.
Cloud Hanson?

Yeah, I got to see him, but Custer
didn't.

He's going to be all right for now.

Let's get the rope.

I don't care about any fancy wedding.
All I care about is being your wife.

You being my husband.

I'm ready to start looking at the world
through our eyes.

There's no reason to elope.

Start doing things our way.

You're starters.

If I don't got to wear a wedding ring,
you don't have to change your name.

Elizabeth? Oh, sweet.

I know it don't look like much compared
to your boss and Chloe. No, I think it's

very impressive that you managed the
entire publication on your own.

Why, thank you.

Dorothy, Rebecca and I spoke last night
about this matron of honor business. Oh,

I don't mind.

No, I don't feel right about what
happened, especially the way it

as it turns out, neither does my rather
enlightened sister.

So if you don't mind, I'd like you both
to be my matrons of honor.

Oh, but your ma's right.

Why, thank you.

What am I right about?

Well, it'd be in a tradition that the
matron of honor is always the oldest

sister, unless you don't have one.

I thought we had this all settled.

I've changed my mind.

I'd like Dorothy and Rebecca to be my
matrons of honor.

But if... And I've also asked Marjorie.

But I'm not in a wedding mood.

Don't worry, Mother. We're just bending
the rules a bit.

That Marjorie will be in the mood.

You have no right to speak for me.

Who appointed you the ever cheerful go
-between anyway?

Ever cheerful?

I am not.

And what makes you sad, Rebecca?

You.

You and all your petty miseries.

If you're sick... Who said I was sick?

No one.

But if melancholy accounts for your
wretched disposition, then you owe it to

everyone around you, let alone yourself,
to seek a cure.

Melancholy? Yes.

Melancholy.

Ever since Everett's been gone, you've
been... Gone? You make it sound as

he died.

Well, I only wish he had.

Marjorie. It's true.

If I were a widow, then I'd get some
respect or sympathy.

Instead, everybody sniggers that I
wasn't woman enough to hold on to that

As if I wanted him. I could barely
tolerate him. The way he tried to force

be meek and submissive. The way he'd
insist on his right into my bed. That's

enough.

Please forgive us.

I thought this one was bad.

Michaela, walk with me to post a letter.

Marjorie's right.

I do always try to be cheerful.

Is that such a bad thing?

She's right about my always trying to
make everyone else happy.

As far back as I can remember, it's what
everyone expected of good little

Rebecca, so I did it.

Sometimes I don't even know what I
really feel.

Because I'm so busy acting the way I'm
supposed to.

This family is like a play.

And we're all cast in certain roles from
the moment we're born.

Yes, exactly.

Why can't we just stop playing them and
be ourselves?

Why, indeed.

should be there.

Robert E.

Come on.

That's a buck's off.

I ain't got to it yet.

Well, when you can.

Robert E.

Matthew.

Sully, can I talk to you?

What's on your mind?

It's kind of private.

I'll get back to that later.

Matthew?

No, out of here.

In here.

Hank? You know how I feel about this
thing.

Jeff, this one.

Oh, yeah.

to help ease the pain you caused me.
Hank lost a few bucks betting you'd fly

coop.

And you didn't.

That's for real.

To Sully and Dr.

Mike.

Sully, you're getting one hell of a
woman.

We all chipped in and got you a little
something.

Go on, open it.

A little bird told us you might be
needing one.

Thanks, fellas.

I'm holding you to your promise,
Matthew.

What promise?

That you owe me.

Just name it.

I want you to take the old homestead.

Pride is a foolish man's burden.

I ought to know, Matthew.

Oh, it's lovely.

Thank you all so much.

It's called a double wedding ring.

The only ones that will be in this
family.

It's for me.

It's a cookie cutter that stamps out M.
What's this?

Oh, how clever.

Thank you, Grace.

Well, I figured it out, and Robert, he
made it for me.

Now all you have to do is teach me how
to make cookies.

I'd save this for last.

Oh, Mother.

Oh, just tear it, Michaela.

I'm afraid you can't even get paper like
this around here.

It's surely the best present of all.

Isn't it magnificent?

Harris.

Prep.

Don't you like it?

Oh, it's so beautiful, Mother. Thank
you.

All of my presents are beautiful.

The hours upon hours that went into
stitching that quilt.

The care that went into creating those
cookie cutters.

Everything is equally wonderful.

Thank you all so much.

Mother?

Sorry, Mother.

But I didn't want the other to feel bad.

Your gift doesn't have to be the best.

There are other ways to express love.

You try to hurt me.

Or is it just in your nature?

I've never tried to hurt you.

In fact, I feel I've spent my whole life
trying to please you. Please me.

You can't be serious.

Everything you have ever done has been
in direct defiance of my opinion. I'm

saying that the choices I made in my
life were meant to please you.

But that in spite of being true to
myself, I've tried my best to gain your

approval.

What on earth does my approval matter to
you?

Oh, it matters so much.

Being understood and accepted for who
you really are?

Well, I believe that's what love is,
Mother.

And does it go both ways?

Am I to be understood and accepted as
well?

Of course.

Then who I am wants my daughter to be
married properly.

That's not who you are, Mother.

That's you trying to influence who I am.

Just tell me, Michaela, what is it that
you want from me?

There must be something.

Otherwise, we wouldn't keep going on
like this, would we?

No, we wouldn't.

Yes, you're right. There is something I
want from you.

With Father gone, I...

I can't think of anyone else in the
world that I would prefer to have give

away.

You're my parent.

You and father made me who I am.

I'm asking you, please, mother, to give
me away on my wedding day.

No.

It's not done.

Mothers don't give their daughters away.

And I will not.

Give you away.

No.

You've gone too far.

You were right, Mother, when you said I
was neither here nor there.

Neither Boston nor Colorado Springs.

I'm starting a whole new life.

And it isn't about either one.

A life that... Thali and I and the
children are creating for ourselves.

I only wish that you could be a part of
it.

But perhaps I've changed more than will
ever be tolerable to you.

Perhaps, as you say, I've gone too far.

Sully? Lauren?

Look, I know this ain't been easy on
you.

Nothing is, it seems.

I just want you to know that I
appreciate the past before I ask you

Favor?

Dr. Mike's got nobody to give her away
today, and she don't know that I know

this.

She asked her ma, and her ma turned her
down.

Elizabeth did?

Oh, that's a shame.

And I know it's asking a lot, but I
don't think Abigail would begrudge it.

My daughter, she had a heart as big as
the whole world. She did.

Yes, she did.

I'd be honored.

to give Dr. Mike away.

I let this grow ever since the day you
died.

Keep with me, Abigail.

But now I gotta move on.

Come in.

Lauren.

You're looking very dashing.

You too, Elizabeth.

Why, thank you.

Something on your mind?

Has been for ten years.

I was fool enough.

Not to even go to my daughter's wedding.

And I've never stopped regretting that I
wasn't there to give my girl away.

Please, don't make the same mistake I
did, Elizabeth.

You don't understand.

No, I guess I don't.

Dear, I'm afraid I'm going to hurt you.

Michaela, don't move. I'm trying to...
Michaela, stop moving. I'm trying to put

those flowers in.

It's mine.

Oh, Michaela. This is not my wedding
dress.

It was made especially for you with all
your preferences.

Your preferences, Mother.

You said yourself it's stunning.

And it is.

And you did say you especially liked the
lovely train on the skirt.

But she also said that she found the top
too flouncy.

And she missed all the lace, like in the
dress that Dorothy made for her.

True.

Dorothy, would you mind bringing me the
dress you made for me?

Sure. You're not wearing that dress.

Oh, you're right, Mother. No, I'm not.
But I'm not going to wear this either.

What nonsense are you talking?

Rebecca, you try to reason with her. It
sounds as though Michaela is perfectly

clear.

Clear? Clear about what?

she's going to wear her wedding dress.

It does look lovely. It certainly does,
doesn't it?

And a lot of it's thanks to that good
stuff you brought from Boston.

Oh, don't try to make me feel better,
Lord.

Will you take a look at that?

Dr. Mike and Sully are not going to be
happy with this, I can tell you.

Who in the heck invited him?

I did.

It just seems that I can't do anything
right, can I?

Mr. Sully.

Please, don't take it personal.

You may wish to reserve your apologies.

You can blame me for that as well.

You didn't know?

Something old.

This handkerchief came all the way from
Ireland with great -grandma Quinn.

She carried it on her wedding day.

Something new.

Bought it with my butter and egg money.

Something borrowed.

And I want them back.

And something blue. I picked them
myself.

Silly.

I think this might look better right
over...

Better get him to the clinic. Yeah.

It's alright.

Dearly beloved, we have come together in
the presence of God to witness and

bless the joining together of this man
and this woman in holy matrimony.

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

their mutual joy, for the help and
comfort given one another in prosperity

adversity. Into this holy union,
Michaela Quinn and Byron Sully now come

joined.

If any among you can show just cause why
they may not lawfully be married, speak

now or forever hold your peace.

Who comes to give this woman to be
married to this man?

I do.

Take right hands, please.

Do you, Sully, take Michaela to be your
wife?

To have and to hold from this day
forward, for better, for worse, for

for poorer, in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish as long as you

both shall live?

I do.

And do you, Michaela, take Sully to be
your husband?

To have and to hold from this day
forward, for better, for worse, for

for poorer, in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish as long as you

both shall live?

I do.

Ring, please.

Bless, O Lord, this ring to be a sign of
the vows by which this man and this

woman have bound themselves to each
other.

Now that Sully and Michaela have given
themselves to each other by solemn vows,

with the joining of hands and the giving
and receiving of a ring, I pronounce

that they are husband and wife.

Those whom God has joined together, let
no one put asunder.

Amen. Amen.

You may now kiss the bride.

you

Where the damnation have you been? I've
been yelling for over an hour.

Sorry, General. With the wedding music
and everything, I'm afraid nobody can

hear you. What am I doing tied up in
here?

Well, you got hit in the head right
after the ceremony, and we brought you

here to rest. We figured it was best to
tie you down so you wouldn't go falling

and hurt yourself worse.

I saw the Indian.

Beg your pardon? The Indian.

I saw him.

You took a pretty nasty hit there,
General. I know what I saw, and I know

Sully is in on it.

You aren't in on it, too, are you, Mr.
Slicker?

I don't know what you're talking about,
General.

And I'm sure no one else in town will
either.

Correct. Like I said, if Mr. Sully
thinks he can get away with this, he'll

learn otherwise.

Good.

It's over.

Ryan did it.

Well, that's what you've been doing.

Yep.

Let's work, pal.

What a wonderful surprise.

Thank you.

Oh.

Oh, you.

Well, come along, shall we?

Well, I suggest we allow these newlyweds
to be on their way to Denver.

We'll miss you very much, but the two
weeks will fly by in no time.

Don't worry about us. We've got plenty
planned with Grandma and Rebecca and

Marjorie. Thank you.

But it's getting darker and

darker

Dark.
