- That looks real good.
- Hi.

Why do they call it
the Sweethearts Dance?

One of the town
founders proposed

to his wife at the dance.

A lot of weddings
have come out of it.

They say if you take someone
to this dance,

they'll be your sweetheart
for life.

Can I make a new dress for it?

You got lots
of dresses from Boston.

Well, it is nice
to make something new

for a special dance.

- What are you gonna wear?
- I'm not sure I'm going.

So, we'll see you later.

See you.

Dorothy, how are you?

Oh, fine. Thanks.

Kind of warm in there.
I came out for some fresh air.

Will you keep this door closed?

It's hot in there.

What you talking about?
It's freezing.

I got my coat on.

I will close it in a minute.

One slice is fine, thanks.

Well, what do you think?

For the dance?

Oh, it suits you perfect.

- The color's pretty.
- Mm-hmm.

- That's the one I'm choosing.
- But you didn't say --

I picked it out yesterday.

Mr. Bray, could you cut me
10 yards of this, please?

- Yeah.
- That's not fair.

You can use this, Becky.

And, Colleen,
this would be real nice on you.

But I want that fabric.

I just love it.

We can't wear the same thing.

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

She has got no right telling us
what we can and can't wear.

But she does.

- You know Alice.
- I sure do.

Who says we have to listen?

She'll be mad.

Then let's not be friends
with her.

Right.
We don't need her.

Morning, Dorothy.

- Oh, morning, Sully.
- It's awful busy in there.

It's madness, what with
the Sweethearts Dance and all.

You're going, ain't you?

No, I'm not much for dancing.

You all right?

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

- Dr. Mike.
- Oh, don't trouble her.

It's just so hot.

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

How long have you been
feeling this way?

On and off for a while.

How's your appetite?

I ain't been
eating much lately.

Any headaches,
pain in the chest?

You don't have
to ask me no more questions.

- I know what's wrong.
- What's that?

I'm pregnant.

What makes you think
you're pregnant?

My waistband's getting tighter.

My bust is getting larger.

I had three young 'uns.

I know.

But how?

It was my husband.

Marcus?

Remember when I left him,
and he came after me?

You mean just before he died?

I told you
that we talked all night.

I never dreamed
this could happen.

Dorothy, you're not pregnant.

I'm not?

No.

From what I see, it's --

It's the change of life.

Oh, that -- that can't be.

Of course,
I-I knew it would come someday,

but I-I don't feel...

I-I don't feel ready.

Well,
you have had your children.

Oh, it's not that.

I feel like I'm losing my clock.

The thing that makes me know
that another month has gone by,

and all's well.

All is well.

This is just a transition.

You're strong and healthy and --

and you have everything
ahead of you.

- Morning.
- Ladies.

I got this silver heart,

and I was wondering
if you could cut it in half

and put a little hole
in each piece.

We're gonna
wear it around our necks.

Kind of like a puzzle
that fits together, huh?

- It's 'cause we're best friends.
- And wherever we go,

we'll know the other one's got
the matching piece.

That's real nice --

having a friend
you know you can count on.

Well,
I'll have this done tomorrow.

Thanks, Robert E.

There they are.

Ignore them.

I ain't seen nobody.

Oh, my lord.
There's that new boy Richard.

Hey, Colleen.

- Becky.
- Hey, Richard.

- Oh, I finished that story.
- Already?

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

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

I'll bring it tomorrow
if you want.

Yeah, thanks.

All right, see you.

Bye.

You like him, don't you?

Well, sure.

I mean, like a beau.

No, I don't like him that way.

He's got all these new books

that his family brought from
Denver, and we've been trading.

You mean it?

Why?

Well, it's just
that I think he's awful nice.

- Becky!
- Oh, I ain't told nobody.

You got to promise
you won't tell a soul.

I promise.

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

and when I see him,

I don't know, I just get this
really jumpy feeling inside.

Then he keeps watching me
in school.

I look up,
and he's staring right at me.

Have you talked to him?

No, I can't,
but maybe you could.

- Me?
- Yeah, well,

you know him a little,
and you got brothers.

You can talk to boys.

Well, not about those things.

Oh, please.

Just find out
what he thinks of me.

How am I gonna do that?

Well, when you're talking
to him, just kind of,

you know, drop it in.
Please.

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

Oh, all right.

I'll try.

Thanks, Colleen!

- Hello, Alice.
- Dr. Mike.

Isn't that Colleen's friend?

Not at the moment.

They had a falling out
about what they're wearing

to the dance.

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

Why is that?

Well, winter's coming,

and people got to pair up
with somebody

to keep warm, right?

So, people fussing
about who's going with who.

And who's dancing with whom.

Sounds like a lot
of foolishness.

Weather's holding.

Let's walk up to Granite Canyon.

Ma! Ma!

- Come quick!
- What's wrong?

Miss Dorothy's at the clinic.
They need you.

I'm sorry.

When did the bleeding start?

Last night.

I-I thought it was
the monthly coming back.

No, it's not that.

Hold on.
It's gonna be all right.

Go to the icehouse
and get me some ice.

She's hemorrhaging.
We got to stop it. Quickly.

Oh. Dr. Mike.

We were able
to stop the bleeding.

Now, you're going to feel weak,

and I want you to stay in bed
for a couple of days.

Why did this happen?

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

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

Is that all?

There might be something else.

What else?

It could be a tumor,
but I don't believe that it is.

What would you do if it was?

We'd want to remove it.

What's the worst
that can happen?

Dorothy, you're stable now.

I want to know.

Last resort -- if we
couldn't control the bleeding,

we'd perform an extirpation
of the uterus.

What -- What do you --
What do you mean?

Take it out?

I-I don't want that.

Of course not.

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

Please.

Try to rest.

I'm glad you liked that story.

Oh, I did.

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

Go ahead.

Well, it's a little
embarrassing, and it's a secret.

Well, I'm good
at keeping secrets.

Well,
there's this girl who's --

who's really sweet on you.

There is?

She dreams about you
all the time.

I think I know who it is.

And I like her, too.

You do?

Yeah, I-I like her a lot.

Will she meet me
at the kissing tree?

I don't know.

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

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

I'll tell her.

How come you ain't going
to the dance?

'Cause Ingrid's out of town
in Pueblo

with that lady who had twins.

You can dance with me.

There's gonna
be a hay ride, too.

Well, I'll have to think about
it, but for now, let's turn in.

Good night, Sully.

- Good night, Sully.
- Good night, kids.

More coffee?

No, thanks.

Want to tell me?

Tell what?

What you're fretting about.

I'm not fretting.

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

I'd like to go to the dance.

So?

Are you gonna ask me?

I just figured...
we'd be going together.

- What made you figure that?
- Well, we're courting.

That means we go to things
like this together.

Still, I-I
would appreciate being asked.

All right.

Would you like to go
to the dance with me?

No.

Why not?

You waited too long.

Fine.

I'm no good at dancing, anyway.

- Well, you danced in Boston.
- That was the waltz.

All I had to do was, "One, two,
three, one, two, three."

These reels and --
and squares get all twisted up.

Well, they're perfectly easy
once you know the patterns.

I'll teach you.

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

I lied.

I do want to go.

- The kissing tree?
- He cares for you a lot.

I never kissed a boy before.

Have you?

Well...no.

I don't know how.

I expect he does.

What if your noses bump?

Maybe...

Maybe you got to...

You got to turn your head.

Do you hold your breath?

I guess you do for a minute.

How am I gonna
wait till Friday?

Thank you, Loren.

What are you looking at me
like that for?

I'm not looking at anything.

You've been
creeping around here all day.

Now, what's on your mind?

Nothing.

Well...

Hank says you're gonna grow hair
all over and get a hump.

Excuse me.
I've come to check on Dorothy.

I am much better,

except for the stories
Loren's telling me.

He thinks I'm gonna turn
into a hairy hunchback.

That's a ridiculous
superstition.

Well, folks say, you know,

a lady gets all dry
and shriveled.

That doesn't have to be.

Some women actually bloom,
feel more free.

I think I know what you mean.

So, you're gonna be all right?

Of course
I'm gonna be all right.

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

Quit worrying and leave us be.

How are you feeling?

Well, it's peculiar, Michaela.

One minute, I can't stop crying.

And the next, I feel...

I feel like it's springtime
and the brook's bubbling

and the sap is flowing.

That's wonderful.

How much longer do I have
to stay in bed?

Well, I'll check on you
tomorrow.

And if there's no more bleeding,

you can go back
to normal activities.

And maybe a few new ones?

Colleen, what are you doing?

Nothing.

I was just...

just dreaming, I guess.

Must have been a nice dream.

Hmm.

- Dr. Mike?
- Yes?

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

I certainly do.

How old were you?

25.

That's old!

Well, I was a little different.

I-I didn't go to cotillions.

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

I wasn't around boys much...

until I met David.

Well, how'd you know...

how to do it?

I didn't.

Colleen, you're not, are you?

No.

Becky and I were just talking,
and...

There's nothing wrong with it,
is there?

No, no, there's nothing wrong.

You just want to be careful.

Careful of what?

Well, kissing can be sweet,

but sometimes it leads
to other things...

...things you wouldn't want.

Well, I ain't fixing to kiss
anyone right now, anyway.

So...good night.

Good night, Colleen.

My stomach hurts so bad.

Take some deep breaths.

I can't do it, Colleen.
I can't go.

Just be still a moment.

It might pass.

I want to go home.

But he's waiting for you.

Can you go and explain?

Just tell him
I'll meet him another day.

Are you sure?

Well,
are you all right going home?

Yes, please.

Can't just leave him out there.

The sweetheart
reel's my favorite.

It starts like this.

One, two, and then you slide.

- I can't see your feet.
- Oh.

One, two...

That's better.

Aren't you gonna try?

I'd like to see that again.

Come on.
It's really simple.

Look.

Sully.

What?

This doesn't come now.

It comes with courting.

But I-I'm trying
to show you something.

- What's the matter?
- Oh, nothing.

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

Please try.

One, two...

You have to start
with your left foot.

Be patient.
I have never done this before.

I am being patient.

You have to start
with your left foot.

All right, take it easy.

- It's just a dance.
- I know.

But you have to concentrate.

Left foot.

What is so important
about dancing, anyway?

It's something people enjoy.

I don't.

- But you could.
- I told you.

I'm no good at it.

But you haven't tried.

Well, I-I've taught Brian,
for heaven's sakes.

I'm not Brian.

- And folks don't change.
- Well, they do if they want to.

Clearly, you don't.

Look,
I won't try to change you.

And you don't try to change me.

How's that?

Not acceptable.

Well, that's all I have to say.

You look fine.

What about you, Michaela?

Me?

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

Sometimes it helps to talk
to somebody.

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

Michaela.
Of course not.

This is -- This is just
us talking as friends.

You know Sully
and I have agreed to court...

but it's not going well.

Oh, why's that?

I tried to teach him to dance,

but it was hopeless.

He said people
just can't change.

Well, you don't think
that's true, do you?

I mean, I don't.

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

That's -- That's
why we're here --

to learn and grow.

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

He's talking about accepting
folks as they are.

We're so different.

I mean, he sleeps on the ground.

He likes to come
and go as he pleases.

I like to make plans.

Well, sometimes differences
are good for a couple.

That's just it.
I-I don't know that --

that I'm suited to all this.

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

You're the one
that believes folks can change.

Sully wants to...

touch and kiss.

Well, that...

You've never been with a man?

Maybe this is
a terrible mistake.

Oh, Michaela.

You love him.

Oh, Michaela.

Dorothy, it is so nice
to see you up and about.

Oh.

I've been meaning
to ask you something.

Of course.

Dorothy.

Dorothy?

- How are you feeling?
- Oh.

Oh, fine.
Fine.

- How about you?
- Better.

Oh, good.

I'm glad.

I want to thank you
for our talk,

and I'd love you
to come for dinner.

Oh!

Uh, I would love that, too,

but I-I have another engagement.

You do?

Mm.

- With whom?
- Oh, it-- it's not important.

It...

- You can tell me.
- I'm sorry.

- I can't.
- Why not?

I just can't.

But thank you
for the invitation.

And I'll --
I'll come another time if I may.

Bye, Michaela.

Come on, now, son.
Time to go.

Colleen.

- Hey, Becky.
- Well, what happened?

I'm dying to hear.

Um...
uh, how's your stomach?

Oh, it's all better.

Was he mad?

No.

That's good.

What did he say?

Not much.

He wasn't disappointed?

No.

I mean...

I got to tell you something.

What?

Richard was...

Yeah?

He was...

real sorry you were sick.

He's just so sweet.

He's got the kindest heart.

I just knew it.

Does he want us to meet again?

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

That's okay.

I can wait.

Thanks, Colleen.

You're the best friend ever.

- Where's Brian?
- He's off playing horseshoes.

There you are.

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

I think I feel
like walking home.

- I'll walk with you.
- All right.

See you back there.

See you there.

Look, there's Sully.

Where?
I wanted to speak with him.

Over at the store.
I wonder what he's doing there.

It's closed.

Maybe he has business
with Loren.

No, Mr. Bray's at the saloon.

Aren't you hungry?
We should get going.

- Dr. Mike.
- Sully.

I'm sorry about the other day.

No, I'm sorry.
I should have been more patient.

Well, I wasn't too patient
myself.

The dance is not important.

And you're right.

We shouldn't try
to change one another.

Good.

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

I...brought sweets for you.

Thank you.

Where'd you get them from?

The store.

I thought it was closed today.

Is that what you
were doing with Dorothy?

What,
are you checking up on me?

No.

Merely curious.

I got ways of getting things
when I need them.

That's all you need to know.

Colleen.
I just had to come find you.

I miss you so bad.

I'm waiting for Becky.

Richard, there's something
I got to tell you.

Let's kiss first.

Becky?
No, Becky, wait.

Becky, please, let me explain.

How could you?!

I didn't mean
for this to happen.

- I trusted you!
- It was all a mistake.

That day at the kissing tree --

Richard thought I was the one
who come to meet him.

You're supposed
to be my best friend.

We made a promise to each other.

I'm sorry.

But it turns out...

he had feelings for me.

You're worse than Alice.

All she did was take the dress
I wanted.

You took the only boy
I ever cared for.

Colleen?

I never had a best friend
before.

Someone I could walk to school
with, share secrets with.

I know how nice that is.

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

My mother was my first
real friend.

And now Becky hates me
'cause I betrayed her.

Well, you did know Richard
first.

You were trading books.

But Becky was the first
to declare she loved him.

Then after the kissing tree...

I didn't tell her the truth.

Well, that was wrong,
and you must go and apologize.

She won't talk to me.

Just keep trying.

Make her know
how much she means to you,

and I'll tell you something,
Colleen,

you're gonna have many beaus.

And they'll come and they'll go.

But if you and Becky
have a real friendship,

you shouldn't destroy it
because of a boy.

Have you seen Dorothy
this morning?

Uh...

I-I imagine she's probably
over at the, uh --

the telegraph office.

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

Now, this is all you want?
Uh...

- All right.
- She's not in her room?

Uh, I don't suppose so.
Uh, that's $1.

Dr. Mike.

We -- We -- We were just
looking at so-- some old things.

Dorothy was gonna show me --

You needn't explain.

Ohh! Ohh!

Ohh!

Better get her
over to the clinic.

What's wrong?
What's happening?

You're losing a lot of blood.

I'm gonna try to cauterize
the uterus with silver nitrate.

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

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

It's dangerous?

Well, there's risk
of infection -- peritonitis.

I might not wake up?

Do what you got to do.

Is her breathing regular?

Nice and steady.

Good.

They've been in there
for hours.

It only seems that way, Loren.

She's gonna be all right,
Mr. Bray.

Oh, no, she's as good as dead.

Why, when they start cutting
and taking things out...

Ma cut you open,
and you're all right.

Same as me.

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

Well, you talked plenty.

Procedure worked.

I won't have
to do major surgery.

Are you saying she's alive?

Yes.

Oh!

Mr. Bray.

He'll be fine.

Dr. Mike.

You all right?

Are you tired?

I know these things
must be hard on you.

I thought you'd be
more concerned about Dorothy.

What are you talking about?

Please don't pretend.

I can't bear that.

Pretend what?

I saw you leaving her room,
remember?

And that Sunday,
when the store was closed...

- What are you smiling about?
- You're jealous.

I am not jealous!

I'm just stating the facts.

And for God's sakes,
wipe that smirk off your face!

What am I supposed to think?

You're supposed to trust me.

Can I talk to you?

No, Becky, please.

Brian!

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

- Hey, Colleen.
- What's going on?

What do you mean?

Everybody's looking at me
funny.

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

They're talking
about you and Richard.

What did they say?

Brian.

Tell.

They said you're too easy.

What's that mean?

Easy?

They said you let
Richard do things,

- and that's why he likes you.
- That's not true.

What did you and him do?

Colleen.

Colleen!
Colleen!

All we did was kiss!

Now the whole school's laughing
at me!

They think I'm easy!

Don't pay no attention to them.

I can't go back there.

Yes, you can.

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

Well, maybe I did.

Of course you didn't.

I lost my best friend.

Everybody's mad.

They're just jealous.

It'll all blow over.

I wish...

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

What are you saying?

Can't we just be friends?

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

I've never felt
like this before.

And I know you like me, too.

It all happened so fast.

I want to think it over.

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

Maybe I best go with my family.

Loren! Ohh.

They're so pretty.

Just -- Just put them
right up there.

Dorothy, there's something
I've been meaning to ask you,

but, oh,
I couldn't get the words out.

I'm not dying yet, Loren,

so don't go and say something
that you're gonna regret.

Last time I asked you
was 30 years ago.

You turned me down then.

What are you talking about?

Will you go to the dance
with me?

Ohh!

Your timing is something.

I'm not fit for dancing yet.

Well, we wouldn't have
to get up and dance.

We could just sit there.

Hello, Loren.

Dorothy.

Let's check your pulse.

Dr. Mike, would it be all right

if Dorothy come to the dance
with me if we just sat there?

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

Oh, that's fine, then.

Well...good day.

Good day, Loren.

Thank you for saving my life.

You're quite welcome.

Michaela, I know you're upset,

and I know what you're thinking,

but you got it all wrong.

Do I?

You were alone with Sully
in your room.

We had business to attend to.

Please, Dorothy, I believe
it's best to have everything

out in the open,
even if it should be painful.

But I am your friend.

I would never do anything
to hurt you.

And even if I
wasn't your friend,

that man has no place
in his heart for anyone but you.

He's like the needle on a
compass that points true north.

Don't you know that?

I suppose so.

He's as straight and sure
as you are.

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

And it's more important
than all the little ways

that you're different.

You got to believe that.

Hop on for the hayride!

If you're a young 'un,
settle on down now.

Let's go on the hayride,
Matthew.

All right.
You want to come along?

I'm gonna get some cider.

Side, ladies.
Hands across.

Come on back by the left.

Everybody, step on down.

Hey, Richard.

What are you doing here
all by yourself?

Where's Colleen?

- She turned me down.
- She did?

Is something wrong?

I think I got an eyelash
in my eye...

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

- This one?
- No.

I don't see anything.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

But you got real pretty eyes,
Alice.

Colleen.
Wait.

Hey, Becky.

Richard said
you turned him down.

Yeah.

He sure didn't lose no time.

Why'd you do it?

I felt bad...

about you.

And I wanted to think
it all over.

I guess it doesn't matter now.

What's so special about him?

I mean, who is he, anyway?

Just a boy.

- Not worth all this fussing.
- He's not even handsome.

No.

He's funny-looking.

I'm sorry, Becky.

I never meant to hurt you.

I've missed you.

I missed you, too.

I'll never do nothing
like that again.

Slide across.

Come on back.

Don't you want to dance, Loren?

I remember you were passable.

I'm fine.
I'm all right.

I'm happy just the way I am.

There are a lot
of pretty young ladies out there

who don't have a partner.

None as pretty as you, Dorothy.

You're a foolish man.

Well, maybe I am,
but when I look at you,

I see a girl of 16,
fiery hair blowing all about.

You're also
losing your eyesight.

Well, maybe I am.

That's the way
I see you, Dorothy.

That's the way
you'll always look to me.

Choose your partners
now for the Sweetheart Reel.

- This is your favorite, right?
- Sully.

What are you doing?

On your partner,
forward and back.

Swing 'em high, swing 'em low.

Hold 'em tight, and let 'em go.

Do-si-do your partner.

Two hands, round the right.

Paired couples
sashay down the center.

Come on home.

How did you learn this?

I had lessons from a friend.

Pass down to center.

Make an arc and come on through.

Give that girl a kiss
and bring her home.

And go back home.

Swing your partners high
and low.

You're right.
I was jealous.

I know.

It was foolish.

It was.

Must you agree with me
all the time?

Head couple, one more time.

Sashay down Sweetheart Lane.

Everybody,
swing your sweetheart home.
