Laura: IF I HAD A REMEMBRANCE BOOK,

I WOULD MARK DOWN HOW IT WAS WHEN WE LEFT

OUR LITTLE HOUSE IN THE BIG WOODS

TO GO WEST TO INDIAN TERRITORY.

WE HAD TO GO, PA SAID,

BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAD COME TO LIVE IN THE BIG WOODS,

THERE WASN'T ENOUGH GAME ANYMORE FOR HIM TO HUNT

AND HE FEARED WE MIGHT GO HUNGRY.

MA SAID WE MIGHT NEVER AGAIN SEE GRANDMA AND GRANDPA

OR AUNT DOSIE AND AUNT RUBY AND UNCLE GEORGE.

THOUGH IT MADE ME SAD,

I STILL THOUGHT IT A FINE THING TO GO

WHERE THERE HAD NEVER BEEN A ROAD BEFORE.

WE'D GO WHERE THE LAND WAS MORE BOUNTIFUL, HE SAID,

AND WE SOLD OUR HOUSE, OUR LAND, AND COW.

WE PACKED WHATEVER WOULD FIT IN A WAGON.

I WAS GLAD PA TOOK HIS FIDDLE

FOR IT MAKES A JOYSOME SOUND.

MARY WAS AFRAID TO GO,

BUT I KNEW NOTHING BAD COULD HAPPEN

AS LONG AS WE HAD PA AND JACK.

JACK IS MY BEST AND TRUEST FRIEND.

AND PA SAID THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER WATCH DOG.

I KNEW THERE WOULD BE RIVERS TO CROSS AND HILLS TO CLIMB

AND I WAS GLAD, FOR THIS IS A FAIR LAND,

AND I REJOICED THAT I WOULD SEE IT.

[THUNDER]

I WANT OUR OWN HORSES, PA.

I KNOW, HALF-PINT,

BUT THEY'RE JUST TOO WORN OUT TO GO ON.

IT'S THE KINDEST TREATMENT FOR THE PONIES.

BUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR HORSES?

OH, SOME FARM WILL COME ALONG, BUY THEM.

THEY'LL THRIVE AGAIN.

STOP YOUR FRETTIN'.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE 3 PONIES BY MID-SUMMER.

WE'RE GONNA BUY ANOTHER ONE?

NOPE.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!

THAT'S RIGHT.

GONNA HAVE A FOAL.

HEY, CAROLINE, YOU ABOUT READY?

WE'RE READY.

LAUNDRY'S ALL DRY.

GOOD.

Caroline: THEY LOOK LIKE STURDY LITTLE ANIMALS.

Pa: THEY ARE. WE MADE A GOOD TRADE.

CAN WE GIVE 'EM NAMES, PA?

SURE. I THINK WE SHOULD,

SEEING AS THEY'RE PART OF THE FAMILY NOW.

I WANT TO CALL THIS ONE PATTY.

Pa: PATTY IT IS.

WE BETTER NAME THIS ONE PAT.

HE'S A BOY.

LAURA.

THAT CHILD WOULD BE IN A HEAP OF TROUBLE

IF SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN BOYS AND GIRLS.

REALLY, CHARLES.

PAT AND PATTY IT IS.

EVERYBODY UP IN THE WAGON.

UP WE GO, ME LOVE.

EVERYBODY ALL SET BACK THERE?

Girl: YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. KANSAS, HERE WE COME!

Girl: READY OR NOT!

[JACK BARKS]

DO YOU THINK WE CAN GET ACROSS?

I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.

RIVERS SWELL IN THE SPRING RAINS.

AS YOU CAN TELL WAGONS HAVE CROSSED HERE

BEFORE BY THE WHEEL RUTS RUNNING THROUGH.

WATER LOOKS SO WILD.

DON'T WORRY. THE WAGON'S SOUND.

THE PONIES ARE STOUT. WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH! HYAH!

HYAH!

COME ON! COME ON!

COME ON!

HYAH! COME ON!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH! COME ON!

HYAH!

HYAH! COME ON!

[BARKING]

Pa: HYAH!

HYAH! COME ON!

CAN'T JACK RIDE IN THE WAGON, PA?

CAN'T STOP NOW.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. HE'LL MAKE IT.

HYAH! COME ON! GET INSIDE!

GET INSIDE!

- HYAH! COME ON! - GO WITH CARRIE.

COME ON!

COME ON! HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

COME ON! HYAH!

HYAH! HYAH!

[BARKING]

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH! COME ON! HYAH!

[NEIGHING]

HYAH! COME ON!

[NEIGHING]

TAKE OVER.

GOTTA LEAD 'EM OUT.

CHARLES!

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

COME ON!

- COME ON! - COME ON!

COME ON!

COME ON!

COME ON!

HYAH!

COME ON!

WHOA!

WHOA!

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

YOU COULD HAVE DROWNED.

[LAUGHING]

PA, I DON'T SEE JACK.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

WE'RE ALL RIGHT, MA.

CARRIE JUST GOT SCARED.

WHERE'S JACK, PA?

MUST HAVE GOT WASHED DOWN STREAM.

I'LL GET HIM.

GO HITCH THE PONIES AND MAKE CAMP.

I'LL BE BACK.

[FOOTSTEPS]

DIDN'T YOU FIND JACK, PA?

NO.

DO YOU THINK HE DROWNED, CHARLES?

LOOKS LIKE IT.

WE CAN LOOK AGAIN TOMORROW.

I FOLLOWED THE RIVER FOR MILES.

HE'S GONE.

DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GONNA MANAGE

WITHOUT A GOOD WATCH DOG.

I'LL SEE TO THE PONIES.

LAURA, COME INSIDE, DEAR.

IT'S TOO HOT TO WALK IN THE SUN.

I'M NOT HOT.

THEN PUT YOUR BONNET ON.

THE SUN AND THE WIND WILL MAKE YOUR SKIN ALL LEATHERY.

LEAVE HER BE, CAROLINE.

SHE'S HURTIN'.

CHILDREN ASLEEP?

ALL BUT LAURA.

HOW MUCH LONGER, CHARLES?

UNTIL WE SETTLE. I DON'T KNOW.

WE CROSSED INTO KANSAS 4 DAYS AGO.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

I'LL KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT.

BUT THE CHILDREN ARE TIRED

AND THE JOY SEEMS TO HAVE GONE OUT OF ALL OF US.

IT WILL PASS, CAROLINE.

WE HAD NO FUTURE WHERE WE WERE.

IT WAS A HAND-TO-MOUTH EXISTENCE AT BEST.

I WANT MORE THAN THAT FOR YOU AND THE CHILDREN.

160 ACRES FREE AND CLEAR FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

JUST TO PLANT AND HARVEST MY OWN CROPS.

TO BE OWING TO NO MAN. I WANT THAT.

[RUSTLING]

PA, I HEARD SOMETHING.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. JUST THE WINDS THROUGH THE GRASS.

IT WASN'T THE WIND.

[RUSTLING]

[DOG CRYING]

IT'S JACK!

YOU DIDN'T DROWN.

YOU DIDN'T DROWN.

WE'VE COME SO FAR.

HOW DID HE FIND US?

INSTINCT.

LOVE.

WE THANK YOU, LORD, FOR BRINGING

OUR DEAR AND GOOD FRIEND BACK TO US.

[FIDDLE PLAYING]

I'M SORRY, PA.

SORRY 'BOUT WHAT, HALF-PINT?

SORRY FOR THINKING YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT JACK WHEN HE DROWNED.

I DID CARE.

I BLAME MYSELF FOR NOT PUTTING HIM

IN THE WAGON WHEN WE CROSSED.

I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT

HOW TIRED HE WAS.

I WAS JUST FULL OF GUILT FOR LETTING HIM DROWN.

BUT YOU ONLY SAID YOU WERE SORRY

WE DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD WATCH DOG ANYMORE.

I GUESS I JUST COULDN'T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY

WHAT WAS IN MY HEART, HALF-PINT.

HEY...

HEY, YOU HEAR THAT?

HEAR WHAT, PA?

THE STARS...

SINGING HALLELUJAH.

[JACK BARKING, LAUGHTER]

BREAKFAST IS READY!

WE SAW A LOT OF LITTLE BIRDS.

YOU'LL SEE A LOT MORE OF THEM.

CALLED DICK SISSLES.

DICKIE BIRDS?

IT'S DUMB TO TALK BABY TALK.

THEY'RE DICK SISSLES.

I CAN CALL 'EM DICKIE BIRDS IF I WANT TO.

THE BIBLE SAYS THOU SHALT NOT ARGUE BEFORE BREAKFAST.

THAT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE, CHARLES.

WELL, IT OUGHT TO BE.

THERE'S NO NEED TO FORGET YOUR MANNERS

JUST BECAUSE WE'RE HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM CIVILIZED FOLK.

I DON'T THINK THE FOLKS IN INDEPENDENCE

WOULD TAKE TOO KINDLY TO HEARING YOU

CALL THEM UNCMLIZED.

INDEPENDENCE? -MM-HMM.

ARE WE NEAR THERE?

BEST I CAN FIGURE MAYBE 40, 50 MILES AWAY.

I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO GET THERE.

WE'RE NOT GOING THERE.

WELL, WHY NOT?

OH, lT'D BE SO GOOD TO SEE A TOWN AND PEOPLE AGAIN.

CAROLINE, WE DIDN'T COME ALL THIS WAY TO SEE A TOWN.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH PA?

HE'S JUST TIRED...

LIKE THE REST OF US.

CAROLINE!

UP HERE!

[BARKING]

LOOK AT IT!

JUST LOOK AT IT!

GREEN AND RICH.

BE WATER IN THOSE FOOTHILLS AND TREES.

WE'RE HOME, CAROLINE.

WE'RE HOME.

FIREPLACE RIGHT HERE.

[LAUGHTER]

HAVE TO PUT A WINDOW RIGHT HERE.

[LAUGHTER]

WELL, INGALLS FAMILY, HOW DOES IT LOOK?

ALL WE GOT TO DO NOW IS BUILD IT.

COME ON.

THEY'RE ALL IN. SIT DOWN.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT IN A MINUTE.

WE COULD BOTH USE A REST. SIT DOWN NOW.

OH!

IT'S NO WORK FOR A WOMAN.

I NEVER SHOULD HAVE LET YOU DO IT.

I'M ALL RIGHT, I SAID,

AND YOU CAN'T RAISE THE WALLS BY YOURSELF.

I SHOULD HAVE SETTLED WITH THAT MAN

TO GIVE ME A HAND.

IT'S MY FAULT FOR BRINGING YOU OUT HERE.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

YES, IT IS. WE'RE OUT HERE BECAUSE

IT'S WHERE I WANT TO BE.

I TOOK YOU AWAY FROM YOUR HOME, YOUR FAMILY.

NOW, THAT'S NONSENSE.

MY HOME IS WHERE YOU ARE...

AND YOU AND THE CHILDREN ARE MY FAMILY.

CAROLINE INGALLS, I LOVE YOU.

[CRYING]

CAROLINE!

FOUND US A NEIGHBOR.

ANOTHER SETTLER?

- YEAH. - A LITTLE GIRL?

NO, NO. EDWARDS. THAT'S HIS NAME.

HE'S A BACHELOR.

LIVES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CREEK AND CAROLINE,

TOMORROW HE'S GONNA COME OVER AND HELP US PUT UP THE CABIN.

HOW KIND OF HIM!

HE'S A WONDERFUL MAN. YOU'RE GONNA LIKE HIM.

OH, I KNOW I WILL.

HA HA! 10 FOOT IF IT'S AN INCH.

CAN I DO IT, TOO?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT AIN'T EASY UNLESS YOU GOT A PLUG OF CHEWING TOBACCO.

EH, YOU CAN TRY IT IF YOU WANT. GO ON, NOW.

GET YOURSELF A GOOD MOUTHFUL OF SPIT.

GO ON. WORK IT AROUND.

AROUND, AROUND. YOU GOT IT?

ALL RIGHT NOW. HERE WE GO.

IT'S ALL IN THE NECK. READY?

LAURA!

JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

MR. EDWARDS IS TEACHING ME HOW TO SPIT.

SPIT?

DO YOU CONSIDER THAT A WORTHY ACCOMPLISHMENT, MR. EDWARDS?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW WORTHY IT IS, MA'AM.

SURE COMES IN HANDY IN A STIFF BREEZE.

BEST GET BACK TO WORK.

MIGHTY FINE LUNCH, MA'AM.

HE IS UNCMLIZED.

WELL, HE'S A LITTLE ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES.

IT'S BECAUSE HE HASN'T HAD THE ADVANTAGE

OF THE REFINING INFLUENCE OF A GOOD WOMAN.

I CAN IMAGINE THE KIND OF WOMEN HE'S KNOWN.

I DON'T LIKE HAVING HIM AROUND THE CHILDREN, CHARLES,

ESPECIALLY LAURA.

FOR SOME REASON, SHE'S TAKEN TO HIM.

SO HAVE I. HE'S A GOOD MAN. HE'S BEEN KIND TO US.

I EXPECT YOU TO BE CML AND FRIENDLY TO HIM.

I AM CML, BUT I WILL NOT BE FRIENDLY.

I DOUBT HE'S EVER SEEN THE INSIDE OF A CHURCH.

I HARDLY THINK THAT'S ANY WAY TO JUDGE A MAN.

I KNOW AN AWFUL LOT OF PIOUS CHURCHGOERS

WHO WOULDN'T THINK TWICE

OF DOING SOME POOR OLD WIDOW WOMAN OUT OF HER PITTANCE.

I'LL SEE TO THE PONIES.

I'M GOING TO BED. YOU COMING?

GOOD NIGHT.

I'LL BE FRIENDLY...

BUT MY HEART WON'T BE IN IT.

GOOD NIGHT.

I DON'T THINK IT'S TOO SMALL,

AND IT REALLY LOOKS STURDY.

WHEN DO YOU THINK WE CAN MOVE IN, CHARLES?

AS SOON AS I GET THE ROOF ON.

WELL, HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE?

TOMORROW SOON ENOUGH?

TOMORROW? YOU CAN'T MAKE A ROOF IN ONE DAY.

I CAN TAKE THE WAGON CANVAS AND STRETCH IT OVER THE TOP.

- THAT SUIT YOU? - YES!

WELL...

I GUESS I BETTER START SUPPER.

MR. EDWARDS, WILL YOU STAY TO SUPPER?

WE'RE ONLY HAVING STEW RABBIT AND DUMPLINGS, OF COURSE.

YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A CUSTOMER, MA'AM.

BEEN EATIN' SO MUCH JERKY LATELY,

JUST THINKING ON IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE ME UPCHUCK.

LET'S GET BACK TO WORK.

[FIDDLE PLAYING]

[LAUGHTER]

YOU SURE CAN FIDDLE, INGALLS.

AND YOU SURE CAN DANCE, EDWARDS.

PLAY SOME MORE, PA.

NO MORE. IT'S TIME FOR BED.

CAN'T WE STAY UP JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER? PLEASE?

NO, IT'S PAST YOUR BEDTIME NOW.

THERE'S LOTS TO DO TOMORROW. WE ALL NEED OUR REST.

WELL, THAT SURE IS THE TRUTH.

YEP. I BEST BE MOVING ON.

HERE YOU GO.

ALL RIGHT, GIRLS.

OFF TO BED.

I SURE DO WANT TO THANK YOU, MA'AM.

I DON'T EVER RECALL TASTING BETTER RABBIT.

THEM DUMPLINGS OF YOURS WENT WAY DOWN

WITH THAT DELICIOUS GRAVY.

WELL, IT TOOK OFF LIKE BIRDS IN THAT LIGHT.

THANK YOU.

WELL, I'LL SEE YOU SOON. NIGHT, ALL.

Pa: TAKE CARE. I'LL PLAY YOU HOME.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING.

Laura: IF I HAD A REMEMBRANCE BOOK,

I WOULD MARK DOWN IN IT THAT THIS WAS A FINE NIGHT

EVEN IF I DID HAVE TO GO TO BED TOO SOON.

SEEMS KIND OF FOOLISH SWEEPING

A DIRT FLOOR, DOESN'T IT?

IT'S THE ONLY FLOOR WE HAVE.

I'LL BUILD YOU A HARDWOOD FLOOR WHEN I GET THE TIME.

I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN.

I'M NOT COMPLAINING.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE GIRLS' SCHOOLING.

I CAN MANAGE FOR NOW,

BUT MARY HAS HER HEART SET ON BEING A SCHOOLTEACHER.

SHE'LL NEED FORMAL TRAINING...

WE'LL WORRY ABOUT THAT WHEN THE TIME COMES.

I'M SORRY.

THERE'S ANOTHER THING.

I DON'T SEE HOW THE GIRLS CAN GROW UP PROPERLY

WITHOUT GOING TO CHURCH.

I DON'T SEE HOW THEY CAN GET CLOSER TO GOD

THAN THEY ARE RIGHT HERE.

NOW, STOP WORRYING.

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE.

YOU REALIZE SOMETHING?

HMM?

WE'RE ALONE.

[CHUCKLES]

[GIRLS LAUGH]

WE BROUGHT THE BED THINGS.

[GIRLS LAUGH]

[JACK BARKING]

ALONE.

IS PATTY STILL FEELING POORLY, PA?

WELL, SHE'S A BIT EDGY.

THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED NOW THAT SHE'S SO CLOSE TO HER TIME.

WHAT IF SHE DIES WHEN SHE HAS HER FOAL?

SHE WON'T.

WE MUSTN'T EVEN THINK SUCH A THOUGHT.

WE COULDN'T GET ALONG WITHOUT THE PONIES.

Laura: SHE'LL DO FINE, WON'T SHE, PA?

YOU BET SHE WILL, HALF-PINT.

IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE GONNA DO

A HEAP OF WASHING TOMORROW.

YOU'LL HAVE TO BRING SOME WATER FROM THE CREEK.

LT'D BE A LOT EASIER IF YOU GO DOWN

AND WASH THE CLOTHES AT THE CREEK,

LIKE INDIAN WOMEN DO.

IF I WANTED TO LIVE LIKE AN INDIAN,

I'D LIVE IN A TENT.

I'D WAGER lT'D BE THE CLEANEST TENT

IN THE TERRITORIES.

WHEN WILL WE SEE SOME INDIANS, PA?

NEVER, I HOPE.

MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY.

DON'T EVEN MENTION INDIANS.

I HOPE I NEVER SEE ONE.

THEN WHY DID WE COME TO INDIAN TERRITORY?

HA! I SUPPOSE IT DOES SOUND PRETTY FOOLISH,

COMING TO INDIAN TERRITORY AND HOPING

YOU'LL NEVER SEE AN INDIAN.

WISH WE COULD WRITE TO THE FOLKS, CHARLES.

THEY MUST BE WONDERING HOW WE'VE FARED.

THEN WRITE.

HOW WOULD I POST IT?

I'LL POST IT FOR YOU WHEN I GO TO

INDEPENDENCE FOR SUPPLIES.

WHEN WILL THAT BE?

WELL, LET ME SEE.

SOON AS I FINISH THE STABLE FOR THE PONIES,

PUT A ROOF ON THE HOUSE, DIG A WELL,

BUILD A FIREPLACE SO YOU CAN COOK INDOORS.

UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU'LL SETTLE FOR

A HOLE IN THE ROOF TO LET THE SMOKE OUT,

THE WAY THE INDIANS DO.

[HOWLING]

[WHIMPERING]

GUESS WE'D BETTER START WITH THE STABLE.

WE DON'T WANT THE WOLVES GETTING AT THE PONIES.

I'M GOING TO SEE HOW PATTY IS.

Caroline: YOU'LL DO NO SUCH THING. GET BACK IN BED.

IT'S TIME FOR YOU TWO TO GO TO BED.

IT'S GETTING LATE. GOOD NIGHT, MARY.

GOOD NIGHT, PA. [KISS]

AND AS FOR YOU... DON'T YOU FRET.

PATTY'S GONNA BE JUST FINE.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

YES, PA.

OK. [KISS] SWEET DREAMS.

[HOWLING]

[HAMMERING]

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED, MR. EDWARDS?

WELL, SNOOKIE,

THIS OLD BEAR AND ME WERE JUST SORTA GONNA

CIRCLE ONE ANOTHER

LIKE THEY WAS GETTING EACH OTHER'S MEASURE.

WELL, WE JUST CIRCLED AND CIRCLED.

FINALLY, I WAS JUST PULLING OUT OF PACES.

I LOOKED AT THE BEAR SQUARE IN THE EYE AND I SAID,

"BEAR, IF WE'RE GONNA WRESTLE,

LET'S GET ON WITH IT."

- YOU KNOW WHAT THAT BEAR DONE? - WHAT?

WELL THEN, HE JUST SNIFFED AND AMBLED OFF.

ONE GOOD WHIFF OF MR. EDWARDS

WOULD DRIVE ANY BEAR OFF.

- HEY, EDWARDS. - HUH?

COULD USE A HAND NOW.

YOUR PA SURE IS ONE TO GET THINGS DONE, AIN'T HE?

HE'S JUST WORRIED ABOUT THE WOLVES.

HE HAS TO GET THE STABLE UP BEFORE PATTY FOALS.

DUE TO FOAL ANYTIME NOW. SO I BEST GET CRACKIN'.

RIGHT.

Caroline: LAURA!

[HORSE NEIGHING]

Pa: EASY NOW, GIRL.

Laura: IS PATTY ALL RIGHT, PA?

SHE'S FINE, HALF-PINT. BE A FOAL BY MORNING.

Caroline: LAURA, WHY DON'T YOU Go IN THE HOUSE AND GET SOME SLEEP.

Laura: BUT I WANT TO SEE THE BABY GET BORN.

Pa: LET HER STAY, CAROLINE.

IT'S A FINE THING TO SEE A NEW LIFE COME INTO THE WORLD.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

WHY DOESN'T MR. EDWARDS COME BY

SINCE WE FIXED THE ROOF?

HE'S GOT HIS OWN PLACE TO LOOK AFTER.

I THINK HE DOESN'T COME BY

BECAUSE HE KNOWS MA DOESN'T LIKE HIM.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT SHE DOESN'T.

SHE DON'T, AND I KNOW WHY.

IS THAT A FACT?

MM-HMM. BECAUSE HE SPITS.

CAROLINE, I'M OFF.

YOU BE CAREFUL NOT TO LET THAT LYE GET IN YOUR EYES.

IT'S JUST THE FUMES THAT MAKE THEM TEAR.

YOU BE CAREFUL.

I WILL. THERE YOU GO, HALF-PINT.

I WISH I COULD GO.

NOW, YOU STOP FRETTING. ONE OF THESE DAYS,

I'LL SWEET TALK YOUR MOM TO LET YOU GO HUNTING WITH ME.

YOU TAKE CARE.

BIG PEOPLE HAVE ALL THE FUN.

[PATS HORSE]

[NEIGHING]

IT'S SO LATE. MAYBE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO PA.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

YOUR FATHER KNOWS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF.

CHARLES! I'VE BEEN BESIDE MYSELF.

WHAT KEPT YOU SO LONG?

OH, I WAS SCARED, PA.

I WASN'T. MAYBE I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED.

NO NEED TO WORRY.

I JUST WENT A LITTLE FURTHER THAN I THOUGHT.

DID YOU GET A BEAR, PA?

NO. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY LUCK AT ALL.

ALL RIGHT, GIRLS. OFF TO BED.

TUCK YOU IN.

RIGHT TO SLEEP.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, CARRIE.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

I'LL GET YOU SUPPER.

IT'S A NICE HOT STEW.

SOUNDS GOOD.

I PUT YOUR BISCUITS IN THE WAY YOU LIKE...

JACK.

WILL...WILL THEY GO AWAY, PA?

THEY'RE NOT TOO HUNGRY.

I RECKON THEY'LL GO SOMEWHERE

AND SLEEP BEFORE SUN UP.

WHY DID THEY COME HERE?

FOLLOWED ME HOME, I GUESS.

IF I TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED, WILL YOU KEEP IT A SECRET?

LT'LL JUST UPSET MA.

I FIRST SPOTTED 'EM WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY BACK.

MUST HAVE BEEN 10,

MAYBE 15 OF THEM IN THE PACK.

TOOK OUT AFTER ME.

PAT DID HIS BEST,

BUT I KNEW HE COULDN'T OUTRUN THOSE WOLVES.

NOT ON FLAT GROUND.

WHAT'D YOU DO?

WELL, I TOSSED 'EM ALL THE GAME I SHOT.

SLOWED 'EM UP LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET AWAY.

BUT YOU WEREN'T SCARED.

YOU BET I WAS SCARED.

I DIDN'T THINK PAS EVER GOT SCARED.

DON'T LET 'EM FOOL YOU.

PAS GET SCARED JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

BUT NOT AS SCARED AS MAS.

THAT'S RIGHT. NOT AS SCARED AS MAS.

THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT YOU KEEP THAT SECRET.

I'D SPIT INTO THE WIND BEFORE I'D TELL.

THAT'S MY GIRL.

FIRST THING TOMORROW, I'M GONNA BUILD US A PROPER DOOR.

THE CHIMNEY DRAWS JUST FINE.

NOW IT LOOKS LIKE HOME.

YOU'RE NOT SORRY WE SETTLED HERE?

OF COURSE NOT.

BUT I COULD CRY WHEN I SEE HOW HARD YOU HAVE TO WORK.

IT'S GOOD WORK.

JUST WISH I COULD HAVE MADE THE CABIN BIGGER.

GIVEN YOU GLASS WINDOW PANES.

- HA! -I MEAN IT.

I DON'T EXPECT THE IMPOSSIBLE, CHARLES.

YOU DESERVE THE IMPOSSIBLE.

BETTER GO FIND YOU SOMETHING TO COOK ON THAT FRYER.

CARRIE, COME BACK HERE!

JACK! COME ON!

[HORSE NEIGHING]

YOU'VE NEVER TIED JACK UP BEFORE.

HE DOESN'T LIKE IT.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO FREE HIM NO MATTER WHAT.

BUT WHY, PA?

I DON'T WANT HIM FOLLOWING ME AND SCARING AWAY THE GAME.

YOU'RE NOT TO UNTIE HIM UNTIL I GET BACK. YOU UNDERSTAND?

YES, PA.

IT'S NOT FAIR.

LAURA, MA SAID TO COME TAKE CARE OF CARRIE.

SHE'S UNDERFOOT.

YOU TAKE CARE OF HER.

I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE JACK OUT HERE ALL BY HIS LONESOME.

[GROWLING]

[BARKING]

INDIANS.

THEY MIGHT HURT MA.

NO! I HEARD PA TELL YOU NOT TO UNTIE HIM!

HE DIDN'T KNOW INDIANS WERE COMING.

PA SAID NOT TO! HE SAID NOT TO!

[BARKING]

[LAUGHS]

HERE!

[JACK BARKING]

HYAH!

Pa: I'M HOME.

DID YOU GET A DEER?

YOU DON'T MIND EATING RABBIT AGAIN.

I DON'T!

ME NEITHER.

I GUESS NONE OF US DOES.

Pa: HAVE A GOOD DAY?

JUST FINE.

I BET YOU WOULD LIKE A SMOKING PIPE NOW,

PA, WOULDN'T YOU?

RIGHT AFTER DINNER WILL BE FINE.

YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO.

THE INDIANS TOOK YOUR TOBACCO.

LAURA!

WHAT INDIANS?

WE HAD SOME VISITORS TODAY.

NOW, DON'T GET IN A STATE.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

MA JUST GAVE 'EM SOME CORNBREAD

AND YOUR TOBACCO AND THEY WENT AWAY.

LAURA WANTED TO UNTIE JACK

WHEN THEY CAME, BUT I DIDN'T LET HER.

YOU WANTED TO UNTIE JACK AFTER I TOLD YOU NOT TO?

I DON'T WANT YOU EVER, EVER TO GO AGAINST AN ORDER

I GIVE YOU AGAIN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!

LAURA, BRING IN SOME WOOD.

THERE WAS NO NEED TO SPEAK SO HARSHLY TO LAURA.

SHE ONLY WANTED JACK TO PROTECT CARRIE AND ME.

I DON'T CARE WHAT HER REASON WAS.

SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO LEARN

THAT WHEN I GIVE HER AN ORDER,

I EXPECT IT TO BE OBEYED.

SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO TRUST MY JUDGMENT.

SHE'S JUST A CHILD!

I RECKON I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU

WHY I WANTED JACK TIED UP.

YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T WANT HIM

TO FOLLOW YOU AND SCARE AWAY THE GAME.

NAH. THAT WAS ONLY PART OF IT.

I SAW A COUPLE OF INDIANS

WHEN I WAS UP IN THE BLUFFS THE OTHER DAY

AND I WAS AFRAID THEY MIGHT COME BY HERE.

JACK'S A WATCH DOG.

I THOUGHT HE MIGHT TAKE OFF AFTER THEM

AND THERE MIGHT BE TROUBLE.

FROM NOW ON, WHENEVER I'M AWAY,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TIE JACK UP,

EVEN THOUGH HE HATES IT.

IT'S FOR HIS OWN GOOD AND FOR OURS.

NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY?

YES, BUT YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME, PA.

I'M NOT A BABY ANYMORE.

I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GO UNTIE THAT OLD DOG, HUH?

CAROLINE! I RAN INTO A CATTLE DRIVE.

THEY WANT ME TO HELP KEEP THE CATTLE OUT OF THE RAVINES.

WILL THEY PAY YOU?

BETTER THAN THAT. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE SOME FRESH BEEF?

WE HAVEN'T HAD A PIECE OF BEEF IN AGES!

YOU'RE GONNA BE A COWBOY, PA?

I'M GONNA DO MY BEST, HALF-PINT.

BE BACK BEFORE DARK. LOVE YA.

Caroline: GOOD LUCK.

IT'S SO DARK IN HERE WITH THE WINDOWS COVERED.

THAT'S BETTER THAN HAVING ALL THOSE MOSQUITOES INSIDE.

WISH WE HAD GLASS WINDOWS LIKE IN OUR OTHER HOUSE.

I DO, TOO, DEAR.

BUT THERE'S NO USE WISHING FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE.

[cow MOOING]

WHAT IN THE WORLD?

[BANGING]

[HORSE NEIGHING]

THERE THEY ARE.

THEY GAVE YOU A COW AND A CALF?

THEY'RE OURS?

Pa: YEP.

OH, LOOK AT THE LITTLE ONE.

IT'S SO CUTE.

CALF WAS AN EXTRA BONUS 'CAUSE IT WAS TOO LITTLE

TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM ITS MOTHER.

NOW WE'LL HAVE MILK FOR THE CHILDREN AND BUTTER.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, CHARLES?

DON'T ASK, CAROLINE. PLEASE, JUST DON'T ASK.

PA'S A COWBOY!

I'M AFRAID NOT, CARRIE.

[HONKING]

Laura: THE WEATHER CHANGED, AND THE AIR GOT SHARP AND CLEAR.

PA SAID WE COULD EXPECT A COLD WINTER BECAUSE

THE FOX AND MUSKRATS AND BEAVERS WERE GROWING HEAVY FUR.

CHARLES!

THE LETTER TO THE FOLKS.

DON'T FORGET TO POST IT.

I'D BE AFRAID TO COME HOME IF I DIDN'T.

DON'T YOU OVERDO. YOU GOT PLENTY OF WOOD CUT THERE TO LAST

TILL I GET BACK FROM INDEPENDENCE. GIRLS.

MAKE SURE YOU HELP YOUR MOTHER WITH THE CHORES.

HAVE A GOOD TRIP.

BE CAREFUL.

I WILL. DON'T CRY.

GONNA BRING YOU BACK SOME WINDOW PANES.

THEY'RE TOO EXPENSIVE.

SEE YA IN ABOUT A WEEK.

IT'S TURNING BITTER COLD.

GIRLS, GO INSIDE.

Laura: EVEN THOUGH WE HAD OUR CHORES TO DO,

IT WAS LONELY WITHOUT PA.

MA WORRIED ABOUT HIM BEING OUT IN THE WEATHER,

THOUGH WE DIDN'T KNOW FOR SURE

IF PA HAD EVEN LEFT INDEPENDENCE YET.

I'D FEEL A LOT MORE WELCOME IF YOU'D PUT THAT THING DOWN.

OH.

DO YOU THINK WE'LL HAVE ENOUGH FURS BY SPRING

TO TRADE FOR PLOW AND SEEDS?

WELL, IF NOT, WE'RE GONNA BE EATING

A LOT OF RABBIT AND FUR--

[HORSE NEIGHING]

JUST TAKE IT EASY.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

DOESN'T SOUND LIKE INDIAN TALK.

I THINK IT'S FRENCH.

GOT ANY IDEA WHAT HE SAID?

SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CABIN.

MAYBE HE WANTS TO GO IN AND SIT DOWN.

COME INSIDE.

CHARLES!

WE HAVE TO BE FRIENDS, CAROLINE.

RIGHT HERE.

SIT.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

I THINK HE'S TELLING US HIS NAME.

OH!

INGALLS.

INGALLS.

RIGHT.

LIKE A GOOD SMOKE?

MERCI.

GOOD?

BON.

I THINK HE'S OSAGE.

THEY PICKED UP FRENCH TALK.

HE LOOKS TO ME LIKE A CHIEF.

IS THAT A BEAR CLAW?

LAURA.

A MOULETTE.

MERCI.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

THANK GOODNESS HE'S GONE.

WHY? HE WAS KIND OF NICE.

FOR AN INDIAN.

WELL, I WOULDN'T BE UPSET ABOUT IT.

A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW,

THERE WON'T BE AN INDIAN LEFT IN THE TERRITORY.

BUT WHY NOT, PA?

Pa: GOVERNMENT'S GONNA MAKE 'EM MOVE, HALF-PINT.

MOVE WHERE?

WEST, I GUESS.

I'M GLAD.

I'M NOT.

DOES SOLDAT DU CHENE HAVE TO GO, TOO,

EVEN THOUGH HE'S A CHIEF?

YEAH, I'M AFRAID SO.

IT'S NOT FAIR.

THEY WERE HERE FIRST.

[TURKEY GOBBLING]

[JACK BARKING]

IF PA GETS A TURKEY,

CAN I HAVE THE FEATHERS

TO MAKE AN INDIAN HAT?

Mary: YOU'RE NOT AN INDIAN.

I'M PRACTICALLY ONE.

I GOT A CHIEF'S NECKLACE.

I WISH YOU WOULDN'T WEAR THAT DIRTY THING.

IT'S NOT DIRTY.

PA SAYS IT'S A SIGN

OF A GREAT HUNTER,

AND THAT IT PROTECTS HIM

FROM EVIL SPIRITS. [BARKING]

WHAT'S JACK BARKING ABOUT?

[JACK BARKING]

IT'S SNOWING!

I HOPE IT SNOWS ALL THE WAY TO CHRISTMAS.

I'M GLAD PA INVITED MR. EDWARDS

TO COME CHRISTMAS.

HE WILL COME, WON'T HE?

NO DOUBT.

JUST HOPE WE'RE NOT IN FOR A BLIZZARD.

BLIZZARDS DON'T STOP SANTA CLAUS.

NOT EVEN IN KANSAS.

AND A BLIZZARD WON'T STOP MR. EDWARDS, EITHER.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER.

[BARKING]

WON'T BE MUCH OF A CHRISTMAS FOR THE GIRLS...

OR FOR YOU.

YOU'VE DONE THE BEST YOU CAN.

IT STILL WON'T BE MUCH.

GUESS I BETTER GO SEE TO THE STOCK.

IT'S BITTER OUT. PUT ON SOMETHING WARM.

CHARLES.

IT'S CHRIST'S BIRTHDAY, NOT OURS.

[SIGH]

[GRUNTING]

YOU WANT SOME TURKEY?

YOU LIKE IT? HMM?

I'LL GIVE YOU A BIG BUNCH OF IT, OK?

WHEN CAN WE TAKE DOWN OUR STOCKINGS, MA?

AFTER DINNER.

HALF THE FUN OF PRESENTS IS LOOKING FORWARD TO THEM.

[DOOR OPENS]

MR. EDWARDS! YOU CAME!

DADA!

HERE. HERE'S SOME MORE HOT COFFEE.

OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

IT SEEMS LIKE AN AWFUL LOT TO GO THROUGH

JUST FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER.

WELL, IT WEREN'T JUST FOR DINNER,

NOT THAT IT WON'T BE WELCOMED, MA'AM.

YOU SEE, I HAD THIS HERE ERRAND TO DO FOR SANTA.

SANTA CLAUS? YOU KNOW HIM?

WELL, YOU MIGHT SAY I MADE HIS ACQUAINTANCE

WHEN I WAS COMING OUT OF THE SALOON--

WHEN I WAS COMING OUT OF THE HOTEL IN INDEPENDENCE.

INDEPENDENCE?

YOU WENT ALL THE WAY TO INDEPENDENCE

IN THIS BLIZZARD?

YOU GOT TO BE MAD!

THAT'S BEEN SAID BEFORE.

WELL, ANYWAY, THERE HE WAS.

THERE HE WAS JUST A STANDING THERE WITH HIS PACK MULE.

REINDEERS!

OH, HE USES A PACK MULE OUT HERE.

IT'S MORE PRACTICAL.

WELL, I RECOGNIZED HIM RIGHT AWAY.

RECOGNIZED HIM BY HIS BIG WHITE BEARD

AND BIG ROUND BELLY.

ALTHOUGH HE WASN'T JOLLY ENOUGH

TO BE DOING ANY HO-HO-HOING.

WELL, THE OLD GENT, YOU SEE,

HE JUST BRIGHTENED RIGHT UP WHEN HE SEEN ME.

"HELLO, EDWARDS!" HE SAYS.

HE SAID, "YOU REMEMBER THEM PAIR OF RED MITTENS I GAVE YOU

THAT CHRISTMAS WHEN YOU WAS JUST A SPRIG IN TENNESSEE?"

"OH, KEPT ME WARM MANY WINTERS!" SAYS I.

HE SAYS, "HEAR YOU'RE LIVIN' DOWN

ON THE VERDIGRIS RIVER NOW."

SAYS, "YEAH."

HE SAID, "YOU DON'T HAPPEN TO KNOW THEM INGALLS GIRLS, DO YOU?"

AND YOU SAID YES!

SURE DID. RIGHT AWAY.

WELL, MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT,

YOU SEE, OLD SANTA SAID HE'S MIGHTY WORRIED

ABOUT BEING ABLE TO CROSS THE CREEK.

YOU KNOW, WITH THE WEATHER BEING BAD

AND HIM NOT BEING SO SPRY ANYMORE.

SO HE ASKED ME TO FETCH THE PRESENTS TO YOU.

THAT THERE'S WHAT'S IN THE BAG.

CAN WE SEE THE PRESENTS NOW, MA?

PLEASE, MA!

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT NOW.

CLOSE UP YOUR EYES NOW. CAN'T HAVE NO PEEKING.

COME ON. CLOSE 'EM TIGHT.

YOU AIN'T PEEKING, ARE YOU?

CAN'T STAND FOR NO PEEKING.

THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT. YOU READY?

ALL RIGHT. THERE YOU ARE.

HA HA!

WE EACH GOT OUR OWN CUPS NOW.

THANK YOU, MR. EDWARDS!

NOW, LOOKY HERE. LOOK AT THIS HERE.

HERE'S ONE FOR YOU,

ONE FOR YOU,

AND ONE FOR YOU.

I'M GONNA SAVE MINE.

NOT ME!

OH, MA'AM, I, UH...

THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO HAVE THESE WITH YOUR TURKEY.

LIKE TO?

I CAN'T RECALL THE LAST TIME WE HAD SUCH A TREAT!

THANK YOU.

I THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS

SUCH A FINE CHRISTMAS FOR THE GIRLS.

OH.

CAN WE LOOK IN OUR STOCKINGS, MA?

WE ALREADY GOT SOME PRESENTS.

HA! MIGHT AS WELL.

Laura: WE EACH GOT A SHINY NEW PENNY

AND A COOKIE MADE LIKE A HEART WITH SPRINKLES

WITH WHITE SUGAR.

AND RED MITTENS LIKE MR. EDWARDS GOT

WHEN HE WAS A SPRIG IN TENNESSEE.

IT WAS THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER,

NOT ONLY BECAUSE WE GOT GRAND PRESENTS

BUT BECAUSE MA TOOK KINDLY TO MR. EDWARDS.

Laura: SPRING CAME AND THE SNOW MELTED.

THE WINTER WAS LONG AND WE WERE HAPPY

TO FEEL THE WARM SUN AGAIN.

PA TRADED ALL HIS FURS IN INDEPENDENCE

FOR A PLOW AND SEED.

I DON'T THINK I EVER SAW PA SO PROUD AS HE WAS AT THAT NEW PLOW.

WHOA.

OH, MY GOD.

SOAK THOSE SACKS.

KEEP THE WATER COMING.

CAROLINE, TAKE HER DOWN TO THE RIVER

WHERE SHE'LL BE SAFE.

STAY THERE.

[CARRIE WHIMPERING]

[cow MOOING]

HA! HA!

HA! COME ON. HA!

COME ON.

COME ON!

[CRYING]

MORE WATER!

CHARLES!

CHARLES!

BE CAREFUL!

OH!

Ol-ll-u.

[LAUGHTER]

Pa: COME HERE, DARLIN'!

IT'S RAININ'!

DID THE GOPHERS AND RABBITS GET BURNED OUT, PA?

NO, THEY WENT DOWN THE CREEK

WHERE THEY'D BE SAFE FROM THE FIRE, HALF-PINT.

IT'S OVER AND WE'RE LUCKY TO BE OUT OF IT.

THIS IS GOOD.

THANK YOU.

[DRUMMING THROUGHOUT]

I KNEW IT. THE INDIANS STARTED THE FIRE TO BURN US OUT.

Pa: WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.

COME ON. FINISH YOUR SUPPER.

[DRUMMING THROUGHOUT]

I WANT EVERYBODY TO STAY CLOSE TO HOME FOR A WHILE.

UNDERSTAND?

Girl: YES, PA.

Girl: YES, PA.

[DRUMMING THROUGHOUT]

BOOM OOM BOOM BOOM!

GO TO SLEEP, CARRIE!

[DRUMMING THROUGHOUT]

FINISH YOUR SUPPER.

[DRUMMING THROUGHOUT]

[HORSE NEIGHING]

[DRUMMING THROUGHOUT]

[DRUMMING STOPS]

Pa: LAURA, TAKE HOLD OF JACK.

[HORSES APPROACHING]

[HORSES NEIGHING]

LAURA, MARY, GET IN THE CORNER.

THAT'S FAR ENOUGH.

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.

I SPEAK YOUR TONGUE AND GIVE YOU OUR CHIEF'S WORDS.

YOU CAN START BY TELLING ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

THE OSAGE, WHO ARE THE PEOPLE,

CAME TO HUNT THE BUFFALO

BUT THE OTHER TRIBES CHOSE

INSTEAD TO DRIVE OUT THE WHITE MAN.

TWICE THE SUN ROSE AND SET

WHILE OUR CHIEF MADE STRONG TALK.

HE SAID THE SOLDIERS WOULD COME

AND IT WOULD BE THE TRIBES WHO WOULD BE MASSACRED.

IN THE END, ALL SAW HIS WISDOM.

WOULD YOU, UH...

WOULD YOU TELL YOUR CHIEF HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE TO HIM.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

HE SAYS MAY THE MOULETTE BRING HER GOOD FORTUNE.

IT ALREADY HAS.

TO ALL OF US.

THANK YOU.

[HORSES GALLOPING]

IT'S OVER.

WATER.

AH, THANK YOU.

I'D BE CONTENT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY DAYS HERE.

EVEN WHEN OTHER SETTLERS COME?

THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM HERE FOR A MAN TO BREATHE.

SEEMS TO ME YOU SAID THAT VERY SAME THING

WHEN WE BUILT OUR HOUSE IN THE BIG WOODS.

THIS TIME I MEAN IT.

OH, CHARLES.

WHAT IS IT?

WE HAVE TO GET OUT.

WHAT?

YEAH, THE KANSAS TRIBE PETITIONED WASHINGTON.

WE HAVE TO GET OUT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THE GOVERNMENT DREW A NEW LINE

AND WE'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE, SO WE HAVE TO GO.

IF THOSE BLASTED POLITICIANS IN WASHINGTON HAD JUST SAID

ALL OF KANSAS WASN'T OPENED UP,

WE NEVER WOULD HAVE SETTLED HERE.

Caroline: THE PLOW.

DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE.

THE WEIGHT'S TOO HEAVY AS IT IS.

WE'LL HAVE TO LEAVE IT.

I'M BEHOLDEN TO YOU.

NEVER DID GET A CHANCE TO COME OVER TO YOUR PLACE

AND GIVE YOU A HAND THE WAY I SHOULD HAVE.

I'D LIKE YOU TO TAKE THE COW AND CALF.

YOU CAN SELL 'EM AT INDEPENDENCE.

WELL, AIN'T NO CALL TO DO THAT.

WON'T REST EASY UNLESS YOU TAKE 'EM.

APPEARS THERE AIN'T NO TALKING YOU OUT OF IT.

ALL RIGHT THEN.

HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

YOU, TOO, INGALLS.

BYE, MA'AM. BEEN A PLEASURE KNOWING YOU.

MR. EDWARDS...

YOU HAVE BEEN A TRUE AND DEVOTED FRIEND.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE

FOR THE CHILDREN...

AND FOR US.

WELL, WASN'T ALL THAT MUCH, MA'AM.

GOOD-BYE, BUTTON.

IT, UH...

APPEARS LIKE IT'S TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE.

I DON'T WANT TO.

WELL, ME NEITHER, HALF-PINT, BUT, UH...

I'LL NEVER, NEVER FORGET YOU, MR. EDWARDS.

WELL, I HOPE NOT 'CAUSE I'LL BE REMEMBERIN' YOU.

Laura: THERE WOULD BE RIVERS TO CROSS, NEW HILLS TO CLIMB.

BUT I DIDN'T MIND.

BUT THIS IS A FAIR LAND

AND I REJOICED THAT I WOULD SEE IT.
