A LIFETIME AGO, I HAD A BABY GIRL

I NAMED HER AMANDA

AND HELD HER ONE PRECIOUS TIME BEFORE SHE DIED

"HEART COMPLICATIONS," MOTHER SAID,

AND I BELIEVED HER UNTIL LAST NIGHT,

WHEN NEWS CAME THAT MY AMANDA IS ALIVE

IT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR MY COLD, BITTER MOTHER

TO DESTROY MY MARRIAGE TO JIM SHAW

FIVE DAYS AFTER IT BEGAN

SHE FELT THE NEED THE CLEANSE

ALL TRACES OF CHEROKEE ANCESTRY FROM HER HOME,

EVEN IF IT MEANT BANISHING MY CHILD AND LYING ABOUT IT

I FIND SOLACE KNOWING AMANDA LIVED WITH HER FATHER, JIM,

UNTIL HE DIED

BUT NOW THAT SHE LIVES WITH HIS OLDER BROTHER, JOHN,

WHO STOPPED SPEAKING TO JIM 14 YEARS AGO,

I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO FEEL

AUNT LOU!

HURRY DOWN HERE!

OH MY GRACIOUS, SAKES ALIVE!

MY SWEET CHILD!

PRAISE THE GOOD LORD

LAND SAKES

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

MAY WE OFFER YOU SOME REFRESHMENTS?

WELL, HOT TEA WOULD BE LOVELY PEACH

I'M AFRAID WE DON'T DRINK THAT ANYMORE

I DO I NEVER STOPPED

COMIN' RIGHT UP

MY LITTLE AMANDA

MY BABY GIRL GREW UP WITHOUT ME

NOT ENTIRELY

I BRING NEWS

WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?

ASHEVILLE, THE HOME OF MRS MARY ELIZABETH TAFT

MY MOTHER, YOUR GRANDMOTHER TAFT

THE GRANDMOTHER TAFT WHO BROKE UP YOUR MARRIAGE

AND TOLD YOU I DIED BEING BORN AND SEPARATED US AT BIRTH

AND TOLD DADDY YOU WERE DEAD?

THAT GRANDMOTHER TAFT IS WHO YOU LIVE WITH?

NOT ANYMORE

SHE SAID IF I LEFT IN SEARCH OF YOU TO NEVER RETURN,

SO I, I'M QUITE HOMELESS

STUFF AND NONSENSE

YOU CAN COME LIVE WITH US AS LONG AS YOU WANT

WHAT KIND OF MOTHER BANISHES HER CHILD FROM HER HOME?

A VERY SAD ONE

DON'T YOU MEAN CRUEL OR HEARTLESS?

WHY DID YOU LIVE WITH HER?

I'M ALL SHE HAS HAD

I'M SURE ONCE SHE SEES MANDIE, SHE'LL TAKE YOU BOTH BACK

SHE'S NOT GOING TO SEE ME

SHE WILL IF YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE WITH YOUR MOTHER

NOBODY GETS ON MY TRAIN WITHOUT A TICKET

YOU LOSERS

WE'LL WASH THE WINDOWS AND SCRUB THE FLOORS

NO

WE'LL RIDE ON THE ROOF

NO, WE MOST CERTAINLY WILL NOT

MY TRAINS ARE NEVER EVER, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, LATE

YOU HAVE NOW WASTED 42 SECONDS OF MY TIME

EXCUSE ME

PLEASE? I JUST WANT TO GO HOME TO MY WARM, CLEAN, SAFE, BED

I BRING JOHN NEWS

LOST ANTLER CAVE MINE

ANY NEWS OF THAT INFERNAL HOLE IN THE GROUND

IS NOT WELCOME HERE

I WILL NOT KEEP ANYMORE SECRETS

PLEASE EXCUSE

IF I KNOCK MY BALL THROUGH THOSE TWO HOOPS

AND HIT THE STICK, I WIN?

YES, BUT IF YOU HIT YOUR MOTHER'S BALL,

YOU'LL GET ANOTHER TURN

I DON'T NEED ANOTHER TURN

AH, SLOWLY

THINK ABOUT IT

HE'S TRYING TO POSTPONE LOSING TO ME

LOVELY SHOT, DARLING

WHY TRY? I WIN

EVEN IF YOUR BALL HITS MINE, MINE HITS THE POST FIRST

I STILL WIN

POSSIBLY

THERE'S NO OTHER OPTION

WHY DOES HE THINK FOR SO LONG?

IF I KNEW THAT, YOU'D MIGHT NEVER BEEN BORN

JUMPIN' JIMMINY

IS THAT ALLOWED?

NO RULES PROHIBIT IT

THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER OPTION,

IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT LONG ENOUGH

NOW I'M AFRAID YOU, UH, MUST EXCUSE

ME MISCREANTS HAVE DISCOVERED LOST ANTLER CAVE MINE

AND A WAY TO BREATHE INSIDE IT

NED AND I LEAVE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

NO!

IF YOU BOTH ARE GONE WHEN I RETURN, I WILL UNDERSTAND

SEND SOMEONE ELSE

NO ONE WILL GO

NO ONE?

NO BOLD, RISKY, YOUNG MAN WITH STRONG LUNGS?

IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU, JOHN

WHAT YOU'RE HOPING FOR IS UNATTAINABLE

PLEASE, LET IT GO

WHAT DO YOU THINK, MANDIE?

IF I MADE A VERY SPECIAL PROMISE YEARS AGO

BUT COULDN'T KEEP IT AND NOW I HAVE A SECOND CHANCE,

SHOULD I KEEP MY PROMISE?

YESIF YOU TAKE US WITH YOU

TOO DANGEROUS

TOO DANGEROUS FOR WHOM?

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEARLY DIED LAST TIME

-LIZA? -DOWN HERE

CAN YOU HAVE THIS SENT TO JOE RIGHT AWAY?

I'D BE NEEDIN' TO ASK AUNT LOU

PLEASE? BEFORE THE TELEGRAPH OFFICE CLOSES?

IF I BE GETTIN' INTO ANY TROUBLE

BLAME ME

AUNT LOU, WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE WATCHING A LOVED ONE

ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH DISASTER

AND HE WILL NOT LISTEN TO YOU?

WELL, YOU WAIT FOR THE CRASH

AND PRAY THERE'LL BE SOMETHIN' LEFT TO SALVAGE,

OR YOU DON'T LET HIM TELL YOU OR YOUR DAUGHTER WHAT TO DO

MOMMAMOTHERELIZABETH

MY FRIEND JOE IS BOLD AND RISKY, AND PROBABLY AS INTELLIGENT,

AND I KNOW THE SECRET OF THE MINE,

SO WITH OUR HELP, UNCLE JOHN CAN KEEP HIS PROMISE

AMANDA, I DON'T NEED JOHN'S PERMISSION TO GO SOMEWHERE,

AND AS MY DAUGHTER, NEITHER DO YOU

I'M NOT AT ALL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS,

BUT WOULD YOU GO WITH ME?

FOLLOW HIM

JUST A MINUTE

Y'ALL NEED TO FORTIFY YOURSELVES

-THIS AIN'T RIGHT -SHH!

MISS ELIZABETH, THAT BE LIKE LOOKIN' IN A WOMAN'S POCKETBOOK

WOULD YOU CARE TO SUGGEST AN ALTERNATIVE?

WELL DONE

START COPYING

UNDER GREAT DURESS AND AGAINST MY WILL

AND VERY, VERY QUICKLY

MANDIE, KEEP AN EYE OUT

HE'S COMING!

-ONE MORE RIDDLE -NO TIME

GO, AUNT LOU

AAH! THANK YOU, JESUS!

DON'T YOU EVER ASK ME TO GO SNOOPIN' AROUND

OR CRAWLIN' AROUND IN COBWEBS EVER AGAIN!

- YES, MA'AM -THANK YOU, MA'AM

OH MY!

DARLIN', WE COULD MAKE YOU A BEARD

YOU'RE NOT TURNIN' ME IN FOR SOME REWARD

WELL, I WOULD COME GET YOU OUT OF JAIL

JUST AS SOON AS I COLLECTED THE MONEY, HONEY

YOU'D LEAVE ME IN THERE TO ROT

I MOST CERTAINLY WOULD NOT

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAP

TO THINK OF A BETTER IDEA

PERHAPS WE SHOULD BRING MORE PEOPLE

SAFETY IN NUMBERS

ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT GOING?

NO, NOT AT ALL

GOOD NO ROOM FOR FEAR

NOW, THIS TO GUIDE THE WAY,

THIS TO INTERPRET RIDDLES ALONG THE WAY,

AND THIS, TO PROTECT THE WAY

NOW, LISTEN HERE

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO EITHER OF YOU

EVER ENTER THE CAVE MINE

AND YOU HAVE THE WHOLE TRIP TO PUT YOUR PRETTY HEADS TOGETHER

TO MAKE SURE JOHN DOESN'T EITHER

ARE WE AGREED?

MR JOHN, WOULD YOU MIND AWFULLY

IF WE IGNORE THE DOORBELL WHILE YOU'RE GONE?

NOT AT ALL

WILL YOU PLEASE TAKE CARE OF SNOWBALL?

IF YOU'LL PLEASE PROMISE

TO BRING BACK EVERYONE IN ONE PIECE

RATHER UNINTIMIDATING LOOKING FELLOWS

ARE WE ON SCHEDULE?

ALWAYS

JOE, WHAT BRINGS YOU TO FRANKLIN?

WHENEVER DADDY LEFT FOR TRIPS, JOE WOULD VISIT

BUT HOW DID YOU GET WORD TO HIM SO QUICKLY?

NED HELPED ME SEND UP SMOKE SIGNALS

JOE, DID YOU FORGET YOUR SUITCASE?

JOHN, ARE YOU QUITE SURE THIS IS THE ONLY OPTION?

LAVENDER

PROVENCE LAVENDER

YOU BROUGHT IT

FROM MY TIME IN FRANCE

YOUR YEAR IN FRANCE

NED, KEEP HIM SAFE THIS TIME

GOODBYE

YOU'D THINK THEY'D STAY TO SEE US OFF

I THINK PAPOOSE TIRED OF GOODBYES

WE NEED HIM

WHAT IF MR JOHN SEES US BOARDING?

HE WON'T

THIS AREA'S OFF LIMITS

KINDLY STEP AWAY

WE'LL JUST BOARD RIGHT HERE

NO ONE BOARDS BY THE CABOOSE

WELL THEN, JUST A MOMENT, PLEASE

NOT IN ONE MOMENT, NOW

WELL YOU, YOU CAN'T MEAN TO LOAD THESE ALL BY YOURSELF

STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT

KINDLY BOARD IF YOU'RE BOARDING

IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN BY BEING ON SCHEDULE?

PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEAT, SIR

IS THERE A PROBLEM HERE?

NO SIR, NO PROBLEM

WE ARE NOW 4 MINUTES AND 22 SECONDS LATE,

ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

I SHALL NOW GO EXPLAIN THIS TO HIM

IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?

PLEASE FORGIVE US, SIR

ELIZABETH TAFT, MEET JOE AND POLLY

PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, MISS TAFT

OH, MISS TAFT, I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A DREAM

YOU'RE EVER SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN YOUR PHOTOGRAPH

THANK YOU, POLLY

WOULD YOU PLEASE ALLOW AMANDA AND I A MOMENT ALONE?

I CANNOT TAKE CARE OF THEM AND YOU

WE CAN TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES

IF THOSE PEOPLE THAT BROKE INTO THE CAVE

FOUND OUT A WAY TO BREATHE, WHY CAN'T WE?

I KNEW IT

WE'RE GOING TO THE OLD CHEROKEE GOLD MINE, AREN'T WE?

IT'S NOT A GOLD MINE, IT'S A CAVE

IT'S BOTH

ARE WE GOING TO FIND THE GOLD?

I THINK SO

WE'RE GOING INTO A POISONED CAVE IN SEARCH OF RUMORED GOLD?

NO WE ARE GOING TO PREVENT JOHN

FROM EVER ENTERING THE CAVE MINE

DID YOU BRING YOUR SCIENCE BOOK?

IN MY SUITCASE

WE'RE GONNA HELP UNCLE JOHN BREATHE IN THE MINE

SO HE CAN KEEP HIS LONG LOST PROMISE

-WHAT PROMISE? -TO WHOM?

I DON'T KNOW YET, BUT I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH GOLD

SUGAR PLUMB, WE'RE ON THE TRAIN

WE'RE GOING HOME

HOME SWEET HOME

BACK TO OUR WARM, SAFE BED

SHOOWEE, YOU SMELL!

SO DO YOU, BUT I'M NOT DWELLING ON IT

WE'RE GOING HOME!

THAT'S ALL THAT HOLDS THESE CARS TOGETHER?

STEP AWAY FROM THE RAILING NOW

THESE CARS COULDN'T ACCIDENTALLY SEPARATE, COULD THEY?

NEVER HAPPENED, NEVER WILL

THE HOSE CLAMP IS LOCKED, THE CRANK ARM IS TIGHT

PERFECTLY SAFE

KEEP AWAY FROM THE RAILING

WE ARE GOING TO BEHAVE THIS ENTIRE TRIP

SO THAT WE MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT

DARLING, WHAT INCIDENT COULD I POSSIBLY GET INTO HERE?

SHOOWEE

IT'S PROBABLY A DEAD RAT

WHERE'S MY SUITCASE?

JOE, DID YOU MISS ME?

I MISS YOU BOTH DESPERATELY

ELIZABETH, THOSE BIG CARGO BEDS ARE EMPTY

SOMEBODY GO TELL SOMEBODY

I WILL WHEN THE CONDUCTOR RETURNS

HEY, THAT'S THE WANTED MAN FROM THE POSTER

HALF OF $1,000

DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY'RE GONNA GIVE A REWARD

TO SOMEBODY WHO'S ILLEGALLY ON THIS TRAIN?

WHOA! OOH!

OH, BAYNE!

DARLING HUSBAND OF MINE!

IF YOU HAD A LOVIN' HUSBAND, WE'D KNOW IT BY NOW

MAYBE WE SHOULD JUMP OFF THE TRAIN HERE

RATHER THAN GO UP TO THE NEXT STATION AND BACKTRACK

SHOW ME OTHER MAP

IT'S PROBABLY IN MY COAT

-CABOOSE -NO!

HUSH!

WHY?

SOMEBODY MIGHT HEAR YOU

SOMEBODY WHO?

AAAH! HELP!

HELP! HE'S A WANTED MAN!

SOMEBODY SAVE ME, PLEASE

WHERE'S YOUR HUSBAND?

YOUR LOVING HUSBAND IS HERE!

POLLY, YOU GO FIND THE CONDUCTOR

YOU TELL HIM YOU HAVE THE THIEF AND THAT YOU WANT HALF

THE $1,000 REWARD

GO RIGHT NOW, CHILD

DON'T YOU TAKE ONE ITTY BITTY STEP, MISSY

LADY, I KNOW WHERE YOU CAN FIND

TEN TIMES AS MUCH GOLD AS THAT REWARD

LIAR, LIAR, LIAR

I'M A THIEF, NOT A LIAR

DON'T YOU WANNA GET YOU SOME?

WHERE?

THE TOP OF THAT MOUNTAIN, YONDER

OH, CAN WE PLEASE NOT?

HE JUST LOVES TO PLAY HIDE AND GO SEEK

WE'RE NOT CUTTIN' OFF YOUR CIRCULATION, ARE WE?

LADY, THE TERRAIN'S A'CHANGIN'

IF YOU WANNA JUMP OFF THIS TRAIN ALIVE, YOU BEST DO IT NOW

WAIT JUST A MINUTE

MY LITTLE SQUASH SEED,

IF THAT WAS GOLD IN THAT THERE SACK THAT HE'S CLUTCHIN',

WOULD WE HAVE TO GO ON THIS WILD GOOSE CHASE?

IT AIN'T GOLD

NO, NO, NO, OF COURSE NOT

NO! CAREFUL!

I'LL SHOW YOU

IT'S A SCRUBBER

HELPS YOU BREATHE WHEN YOU'RE IN POISONOUS AIR

CAREFUL!

I AM! WHERE ARE THEY, POLLY?

OUT OF SIGHT

WE HAVE TO GET THAT SCRUBBER

I AM NOT JUMPIN' OFF A MOVIN' TRAIN!

I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD DO THIS!

-OF COURSE, WE SHOULDN'T! -PULL, MANDIE, PULL!

AREN'T WE OVERREACTING JUST A TEENSY BIT?

YES!

THERE ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY MUST BE ANOTHER WAY

LIKE WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW!

MANDIE, YOUR MOTHER!

HARDER! PULL HARDER!

IT'S TOO LATE! IT'S TOO LATE!

MANDIE!

ELIZABETH, MEET AT THE CLIFF TOP!

THE CLIFF TOP!

WE ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!

ONLY UNTIL WE GET THE SCRUBBER, THEN THEY'LL FORGIVE US

I PROMISE

WHERE ARE YOUR CHILDREN?

CAN YOU PLEASE STOP THE TRAIN?

TOWN, FOUR MINUTES AND THREE SECONDS

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

THEY'LL SEND US TO JAIL! JAIL!

-SLOWER! -I'M TRYING!

-LET'S JUMP -NO!

THEN WE'LL LEAVE YOU HERE

NO, WE STAY TOGETHER

MAY I GIVE YOU THE SHORT VERSION NOW AND EXPLAIN LATER?

AND, AND WILL YOU PLEASE WAIT

UNTIL I'M FINISHED BEFORE EXPLODING?

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT'S HAPPENED

MANDIE, POLLY, AND JOE ARE ON THE CABOOSE,

WHICH THEY HAVE DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRAIN

WHAT'S THAT FOR?

IN CASE WE DON'T CATCH UP WITH THEM

WE DON'T NEED IT

WE'RE GONNA TAKE UNCLE JOHN'S RUCK SACK AS A PEACE OFFERING

LET'S GO!

WHAT IF I GET TIRED AND SLOW YOU DOWN?

-I'LL CARRY YOU PIGGYBACK -I'M TIRED

HOW DO WE KNOW WHERE TO GO?

WE FOLLOW THE RIDDLES

I FIND CABOOSE, YOU GO TO CLIFFS

WE NEED MY KNAPSACK!

I'M SORRY, MA'AM, WE'RE DETAINING YOU FOR QUESTIONING

AFTER I'VE FOUND MY DAUGHTER

-I REALLY MUST INSIST -SO MUST I

AFTER YOU

MY GOOD MAN, FOR TWO HORSES

WE'LL BE BACK IN A FEW DAYS

I'M JOHN SHAW, THANK YOU

JOHN, RIP THE BACK OF MY DRESS

HURRY!

THANK YOU

I HAD RATHER GO ALONE

I'D RATHER YOU MAKE AN EFFORT TO KEEP UP WITH ME

MY FEET HURT

TELL THEM TO STOP

OH, GNATS!

I HATE GNATS! AAH!

IF WE START CLIMBING NOW,

WE CAN GET TO THE TOP OF THE HILL FIRST

AND THEN WE CAN ATTACK

ATTACK? NO, OUTSMART

RIGHT NOW, OUTRUN

GO, GO, GO, GO!

ALRIGHTY HOW DO WE ATTACK?

WHICH WAY WILL THEY GO?

"THE EASY WAY IS QUICK TO PLEASE

AND SET YOUR ACHING BONES AT EASE"

AMEN

"BUT SHOULD YOU ASPIRE TO RACE MORE SWIFTLY,

YOU'LL FIND A SECOND PATH TO VICTORY,

IF WHEN THE TRAIL BEGINS TO NARROW,

YOU PERSEVERE STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW"

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHICH WAY?

WELL, IF I'M ROACH, I'M SICK AND TIRED

OF GAYNELLE SNOW'S CONSTANT JABBERING,

I WANT THE SWIFTEST WAY

YOU'RE SO CLEVER SADLY

I HAVE AN IDEA

NO, NO WAY

PLEASE?

JOHN!

SHE'S EXHAUSTED

WHO IS?

HOW DOES THAT FEEL?

BETTER THAN I EXPECTED

WHAT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG?

IT WON'T, IF EVERYONE DOES THEIR PART

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

HAVE YOU EVEN THOUGHT ONCE ABOUT HOW FOOLHARDY THIS IS?

OF COURSE NOT

LOOK, JOE'S RIGHT

I ALREADY KNEW THAT

HONEYBUNS, YOU, WOULD YOU MIND CARRYIN' ME, PLEASE?

PLEASE, PLEASE?

NO NO, NO

YOU TOO TIRED TO CARRY ON, SUGARPLUM?

OF COURSE NOT, PUDDIN' PIE

POLLY, PULL ME UP, PULL ME UP!

NO!

-POLLY, GIVE ME YOUR HAND! -PULL THE ROPE!

GOT IT, GET HIM!

-PULL HIM UP, POLLY -I AM

JOE!

AIN'T NOBODY STEALS FROM THE KING OF THIEVES

GO, GO, GO, GO!

WHY COULDN'T YOU HOLD ONTO HIM?

YOU'VE BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB OF IT SO FAR

IT WASN'T POLLY'S FAULT

WE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN OUR TIME, THOUGHT OF A BETTER PLAN

IT WAS PERFECT, IF ONLY YOU'D HELD ON

MANDIE! MANDIE!

MANDIE, WHOOP MANDIE!

POLLY, JOE!

WE PROPOSE A TRUCE

WHY COMPETE WHEN WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER?

THEY'RE GONE

DADDY SAID THE CAVE SMELLED BAD, LIKE ROTTEN EGGS

SULFUR, UGH, SMELLS POSITIVELY HORRENDOUS

SO, WHILE INSIDE THE MINE,

YOU BREATHE SULFUR INSTEAD OF OXYGEN?

SULFUR IS A SOLID WHICH DOESN'T SMELL

SULFUR DIOXIDE IS A GAS WHICH SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS

AND CAN ONLY BE CREATED IN THE PRESENCE OF AIR

SO, INSIDE THE MINE, THERE IS SOME OXYGEN?

YES, WE NEED A TANK TO PUMP THE POISONED AIR INTO

AND A PUMP

AND A FILTER TO LET THE OXYGEN IN

BUT KEEP THE SULFUR DIOXIDE OUT

WORTH A TRY

AND WE NEED SOMETHING TO CONNECT TO OUR NOSE

BRANCHES, JOHN, BRANCHES!

-DUCK -JOHN!

THANK YOU

I WAS IN DIRE NEED OF ADDITIONAL EXCITEMENT

LIZ, WHY DID YOU COME?

WHY DID YOU BRING MANDIE?

CAN WE PLEASE JUST STAY FOCUSED ON WATCHING WHERE WE ARE GOING?

FINE, WE ARE FOCUSED

NOW ANSWER THE QUESTION

HOW MANY EXCURSIONS DID YOU TAKE

DURING THE TIME THAT WE KNEW EACH OTHER?

THE EXACT NUMBER ESCAPES ME

SHALL WE SAY SEVERAL?

YES

WHY DID YOU NEVER TAKE ME ALONG, NOT EVEN ONE TIME?

BECAUSE I HAD NO DESIRE TO INFURIATE YOUR MOTHER

WHY NOT?

BECAUSE ELIZABETH, UNLIKE MY BROTHER,

I CARED WHAT YOUR MOTHER THOUGHT

I DID NOT WANT TO CAUSE A RIFT BETWEEN YOU

SHE'S THE ONLY FAMILY YOU HAD

YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT

I GUESS I THOUGHT IT WAS OBVIOUS

I THINK WE SHOULD TRY TO TAKE THE SCRUBBER AGAIN

NO, JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE TIME

I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING

IF WE CAN GET TO THE TOP OF THESE CLIFFS FIRST,

WE COULD ATTACK

SINCE OUTSMARTING DIDN'T WORK LAST TIME

BUT THEY HAVE A GUN

I WISH WE COULD GO THAT SLOW

"A CLIFF SO CRAGGY AND SO WIDE

CONCEALS ITS SECRET TO THE SIDE"

THAT SIDE'S CLOSER

"ASCEND NOW SAFE WITH HANDS OF STONE

BE SURE TO CLIMB NOT UP ALONE"

WITH HANDS OF STONE?

I CANNOT CLIMB THIS

I'LL HELP YOU

MANDIE, ARE YOUR HANDS MADE OF STONE?

NO

THEN HOW ABOUT YOU STOP LOOKING AT THEM

LIKE THEY MIGHT GIVE YOU THE ANSWER?

YOU GOTTA THINK OUTSIDE OF THE ORDINARY

OH, RIGHT YOU'RE THE CLEVER ONE

YOU SOLVE IT, THEN

HE WILL, FASTER THAN YOU

I GOT IT!

HANDS OF STONE

ELIZABETH, IS THERE ANY CHANCE YOU CAN HANDLE A SHORT CUT?

IS THIS THE WAY YOU WOULD GO IF NED WERE HERE?

YES

THEN I SHALL GIVE IT A TRY

I HAVE AN IDEA

YES, I THINK I CAN HANDLE IT

GOOD WE'RE NOT FINISHED

IF Y'ALL HOLD THE CORNERS,

I'LL DIVE UNDERNEATH AND GET THE SCRUBBER

IN MY OPINION, THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA

NOTHING IS A GOOD IDEA IN YOUR OPINION

I HAVE GOOD IDEAS

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE WE DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE WITH GUNS

BAD IDEA

GOOD IDEA

LET'S GO NOW

HELP!

TAKE IT OFF, TAKE IT OFF!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WE THOUGHT YOU WERE MISS SNOW AND THE ROBBER

THEY HAVE A SCRUBBER THAT HELPS YOU BREATHE IN THE MINE

WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FOR YOU

THAT'S WHY WE SEPARATED THE CABOOSE

PLEASE TAKE THEM HOME, BY WAY OF THE TRAIN STATION

SO MANDIE CAN ASK FORGIVENESS AND DISCOVER

HOW MUCH SHE OWES IN DAMAGES

BUT WE WERE TRYING TO HELP YOU

BY SEPARATING THE CABOOSE FROM A MOVING TRAIN?

BY GETTING YOUR FRIENDS IN SERIOUS DANGER?

BY TOTALLY DISRUPTING MY PLANS

OR ATTACKING YOUR MOTHER AND I AT A CLIFF EDGE?

YOU PROMISED HE'D FORGIVE US

IF WE GOT THE SCRUBBER

UNCLE JOHN!

AH, AND HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK NED HAS WASTED

LOOKING ALL OVER THE CABOOSE FOR THIS?

DON'T YOU WANT TO BREATHE IN THE MINE?

I WANT TO GET A CHANCE TO FOLLOW NED AND MINE'S PLAN

WITHOUT THE INEPT RUINING EVERYTHING

WE'RE NOT INEPT

NO, I WOULD THINK FOOLISH IS A MORE ACCURATE ADJECTIVE

FOR A CHILD WHO SEPARATES A CABOOSE

FROM A TRAIN WHILE IN MOTION

ROACH IN THE SNOWS SHOULD ARRIVE ANY MINUTE

WE CAN STILL GET THE SCRUBBER WITH THE BLANKET

AMANDA, WE ARE HERE TO KEEP JOHN OUT OF THE MINE,

NOT ENABLE HIM

WHY NOT ENABLE HIM IF IT HELPS HIM KEEP HIS PROMISE?

BECAUSE IT'S NOT A PROMISE YOU'LL WANT HIM TO KEEP

IT BETTER BE

NOW, WE ARE FOLLOWING JOHN AND WE ARE DOING IT MY WAY

UNCLE JOHN!

WOULD YOU PLEASE LET US HELP YOU KEEP YOUR PROMISE?

YOU WANT TO HELP ME ENTER A POISONOUS CAVE MINE?

NO!

TO FIND A BOX WHICH BELONGS TO YOUR GRANDMOTHER TAFT

A VERY SPECIAL BOX, A 1,000 YEAR OLD BOX,

AND THEN YOU WANT TO HELP ME RETURN IT

TO YOUR GRANDMOTHER TAFT TO HELP RESTORE

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HER?

I DIDN'T THINK SO

YOU'RE NOT GOING AFTER THE GOLD?

YOU KNEW THIS WAS FOR GRANDMOTHER TAFT ALL ALONG?

THAT'S WHY I TRIED TO STOP HIM

HOW CAN A BOX BE 1,000 YEARS OLD?

IT'S NOT UNUSUAL FOR ROYAL FAMILIES TO PASS DOWN VALUABLES

THROUGHOUT THE GENERATIONS

FOR 1000 YEARS?

ROYAL FAMILIES?

I'M SORRY

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO HELP HIM FIND THE GOLD

A 1,000 YEAR OLD BOX FROM YOUR ROYAL ANCESTORS ISN'T SO BAD

HOW COULD HE WANT TO RISK HIS LIFE FOR GRANDMOTHER TAFT?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST ASK HIM?

DAPPER MEN NEVER MAKE ANY SENSE

THAT'S WHAT MOMMA ALWAYS SAYS

IF WE DON'T GET TO GO INSIDE THE CAVE,

MIGHT WE AT LEAST SEE THE ENTRANCE?

IT'S AT THE RIVER

WHERE?

WHERE DO YOU THINK?

AH NOW, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

MANDIE

SHE'S NOT ALTOGETHER INEPT

"BENEATH THE RIVER, BEHIND HER TEARS

LAY RICH THE SECRETS KEPT FOR YEARS

ONE STOOPED STEP SHALL BE YOUR GOAL,

TO PIERCE THE WINDOW OF MY SOUL"

GOOD, NOW YOU CAN PONDER THAT WHILE THE TWO OF YOU

SERVE AS LOOKOUTS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CAMP

I THINK THE RUMOR'S TRUE

THERE'S STILL GOLD IN THE CAVE MINE

PAPOOSE!

I'VE BEEN SEARCHING AND SEARCHING

WHY ARE YOU HELPING UNCLE JOHN RISK HIS LIFE

FOR GRANDMOTHER TAFT?

YOU MUST ASK JOHN

IT WORKS!

YOU'RE SO CLEVER

"MY DEAR ELIZABETH" MY DEAR?

"ALL MY LOVE, JOHN" ALL MY LOVE?

"MY DEAR ELIZABETH,

I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BEGIN A LIFE WITHOUT YOU"

"MY DEAR ELIZABETH WITH ALL MY LOVE, JOHN'

"MY DEAR ELIZABETH,

DO YOU STILL PRAY TO THE EVERLASTING FATHER,

AS YOU CALL HIM?

I MUST ADMIT, MY DEAR, THAT I DO NOT

ALL MY LOVE, JOHN"

"MISS TAFT, I HAVE ERASED YOU FROM MY MEMORY

I SHALL RETURN TO MY TRAVELS WITH GUSTO

ADVENTURES AWAIT

FAREWELL, JOHN"

- -SHH!

ISN'T MR JOHN ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY THE SWEETEST?

NED

I KNOW PAPOOSE, THAT SHE BRINGS PEACE OFFERING

DID YOU SEE GAYNELLE?

HEAR HER, FAR AWAY

"I TIRED, I HURTING, I WANT GOLD"

WHY DO THIS FOR GRANDMOTHER TAFT?

YOUR GRANDMOTHER HAD AN OLDER SISTER

WHOM SHE ADORED

THAT SISTER MARRIED A CHEROKEE

AND THEY OWNED LOST ANTLER CAVE MINE

THEN CAME THE "TRAIL OF TEARS",

AND THOUGH SHE WAS A WHITE WOMAN,

SHE MARCHED WITH HER HUSBAND AND SHE DIED

IT BROKE YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S HEART

AND IT WAS RUMORED THAT THE SISTER HAD

PUT THE FAMILY HEIRLOOM BOX,

WITH THE GOLD, IN THE CAVE MINE

SO THERE IS GOLD?

USED TO BE, NOW I DON'T KNOW

BUT HER FATHER WENT BACK FOR THAT FAMILY BOX

AND WAS KILLED BY A CHEROKEE

AND HER MOTHER DIED OF A BROKEN HEART

AND AT 16 YEARS OLD, YOUR GRANDMOTHER TAFT

WAS NORTH CAROLINA'S WEALTHIEST ORPHAN,

COMPLETELY ALONE AND BLAMING THE CHEROKEE

SO I PROMISED YOUR MOTHER THAT I WOULD GO BACK TO THAT CAVE,

FIND THAT BOX, TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR GRANDMOTHER

AND RESTORE HER RELATIONSHIP TO THE CHEROKEE

THAT IS YOUR VERY SPECIAL PROMISE

I CAME, BUT

BUT YOU WERE NEARLY KILLED BY POISON

AND YOUR MOTHER MARRIED YOUR FATHER, MY LITTLE BROTHER,

AND THERE WAS NO REASON TO TRY AGAIN

UNTIL NOW

IT'S FOOLISH, UNNECESSARY AND POINTLESS

FOR YOU TO GO INSIDE THE MINE

EVEN IF YOU DO FIND THE BOX, MOTHER IS SO MUCH WORSE NOW

SHE'LL TREAT YOU TERRIBLY

THEN I'LL BE AS NICE TO HER AS I CAN BE

IT WON'T WORK WITH MOTHER

-YOU WILL FAIL -I HAVE TO TRY

HOW DID UNCLE JOHN ALMOST DIE LAST TIME?

STAYED INSIDE THE CAVE MINE TOO LONG,

TRYING TO SOLVE A RIDDLE

WE HAVE TO FOLLOW HIM

AND BREAK OUR PROMISE TO AUNT LOU?

SHE'LL UNDERSTAND

OW, OW, OUCH MY PINKIE!

SHH, SHH!

"BENEATH THE RIVER BEHIND HER TEARS

ONE STOOPED STEP TO PIERCE THE WINDOW OF MY SOUL"

HOW CAN IT BE BOTH BENEATH AND BEHIND THE RIVER?

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE

I'LL FIGURE IT OUT BEFORE YOU DO!

OH, OH!

"WITHOUT YOUR HEELS AGAINST THE WALL,

INTO THE BLACK ABYSS YOU'LL FALL"

HERE

"THOSE WITH PATIENCE SOON WILL SEE

THE DANGER IN NUMBERS TWO AND THREE,

AND CORRECTLY TIME THESE POISONOUS BLASTS

UNTIL THIS TRIAL IS SAFELY PAST"

BE CAREFUL, SLOWER

BUT WE HAVE TO HURRY

STEADY, STEADY

LET'S GO!

I DON'T CARE IF YOU BEAT ME, JOE, JUST SOLVE IT

NED, STAY WITH ME

"REMEMBER NOW MY LULLABY

AND BLOW TO FIND THE KEY THAT HIDES

WITHIN THE NOTES THAT LIE INSIDE THE MELODY"

WE, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A, A PIPE OR A FLUTE,

OR, OR EVEN A HOLE IN THE WALL

JOHN, I GO

NO, NO, NED, YOU CAN'T

CAN'T SPEAK!

SOMEONE CARRY ME UP THIS HILL

IS THIS EVEN WORKING?

OF COURSE

THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S!

WELL, WHOEVER IT IS, HE AIN'T NO MORE

HAVE YOU NO SHAME, WOMAN?

AMANDA!

WATERFALL BENEATH AND BEHIND THE RIVER!

I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY CANNOT GO IN THERE

I'M QUITE SORRY

CAN YOU STAY HERE ALONE?

I'LL STAY WITH HER

YOU DON'T HAVE TO

BRING ME SOME GOLD

JOHN ALONE, BAD PEOPLE AHEAD

NO RUSH

HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO FIND A PIPE?

I'M GONNA MAKE ME A BIG GOLD RING,

A BIG GOLD RING, A BIG GOLD RING

I'M GONNA MAKE

WILL YOU PLEASE BE QUIET?

BIG SPARKLY NECKLACE, A BIG SPARKLY NECKLACE,

A BIG SPARKLY NECKLACE

YOU HAVE THE GUN HANDY?

EMERGENCIES ONLY

DEFINE EMERGENCY

I'M GONNA MAKE ME A SPARKLY NECKLACE

A SPARKLY NECKLACE

IF YOU DON'T SHUT YOUR TRAP AND STOP YOUR FLAPPIN',

YOU'LL SCARE THE BATS

BATS? BATS?

I HATE BATS!

GET UP

ARE YOU QUITE CERTAIN THAT THEY'RE GONE?

OH NO, THERE'S PLENTY MORE

LARGER AND LARGER THE DEEPER YOU GO

EXCUSE ME?

KINDLY LET US PASS

WE'LL RESCUE MANDIE'S UNCLE AND EXIT

WHAT IS HE DOIN' HERE?

A WILD GOOSE CHASE

BUT HE'LL BE OUT OF OXYGEN SHORTLY

EXCUSE US

YOU, ALONE

YOUR UNCLE DOES NOT STRIKE ME AS THE WILD GOOSE CHASE TYPE

AND HE ALREADY HAS THE GOLD,

SO HE MUST BE AFTER SOMETHING ELSE

SOMETHING MORE VALUABLE?

WHAT KINDA GOOSE IS HE CHASIN'?

A FOOLISH ONE

IS THERE A RIDDLE FOR THIS GOOSE?

HA, YOU'RE TRYIN' TO MAKE SOMETHING UP REAL QUICK LIKE

IT'S HARD RHYMIN' UNDER PRESSURE, AIN'T IT?

TELL US THE RIDDLE NOW

"PATIENT EYES ALONE SHALL SEE

THE LIGHT BY WHICH TO SET ME FREE

REFLECT UPON THE PATH BEHIND YOU

TO ILLUMINATE THE STEPS BEFORE YOU"

AH, WELL, I'LL ASK YOUR UNCLE

AND IF HIS RHYME MATCHES YOURS, YOU CAN GO

AND IF THEY DON'T

JOHN!

I, I CAN'T FIND THE PIPE OR THE FLUTE

-I'M GETTING YOU OUT OF HERE -NO, NO

THEY'VE GOT MANDIE

CAN I HAVE SOME AIR?

THANK YOU GOODBYE

UH, JUST ONE SMALL THING

WE DON'T HAVE TIME

OH YEAH, YOU DO

GIVE THE MAN SOME AIR

LACK OF OXYGEN WILL KEEP HIM HONEST

NOW, TELL ME THE "PATIENT EYES" RIDDLE

AND YOUR VERSION BETTER MATCH YOUR NIECE'S

"PATIENT EYES ALONE SHALL SEE

THE LIGHT BY WHICH TO SET ME FREE

REFLECT UPON THE PATH BEHIND YOU

TO ILLUMINATE THE STEPS BEFORE YOU"

ALRIGHTY THEN, YOU CAN GO

NO! WHERE IS IT?

CAN ANYONE SEE THE PIPE?

NO

NOW LISTEN, THERE'S AN EXIT WHERE THE BOX IS HIDDEN

WE CAN STILL MAKE IT

MANDIE, I SHOULD HAVE COME BACK FOR YOUR FATHER

I SHOULD HAVE FOUND HIM, MY LITTLE BROTHER

I SHOULD HAVE FORGIVEN HIM BEFORE HE DIED

I'M SOSORRY

"PATIENT EYES ALONE MAY SEE"

OH, I CAN BE PATIENT

"RETURN THE TORCH FROM WHENCE IT CAME

"THE LIGHT BY WHICH TO SET ME FREE"

"SURVEY THE DEPTHS BEYOND THE FLAME"

WHAT IF THERE'S A POOL IN THE GOLD ROOM?

"REFLECT UPON THE PATH BEHIND YOU

TO ILLUMINATE THE STEPS BEFORE YOU"

CAREFUL OF THE BATS

"REFLECT UPON THE PATH BEHIND YOU

TO ILLUMINATE THE STEPS BEFORE YOU"

PATH BEHIND YOU

NO POOL

PITIFUL, PATHETIC, PITTANCE

FASTER!

YOU THINK HE SOLVED IT ON HALF A RIDDLE?

"RETURN THE TORCH FROM WHENCE IT CAME"

"SURVEY THE DEPTHS BEYOND THE FLAME

PATIENT EYES ALONE SHALL SEE

THE LIGHT BY WHICH TO SET ME FREE"

LIGHT IN THE WATER

"REFLECT UPON THE PATH BEHIND YOU

TO ILLUMINATE THE STEPS BEFORE YOU"

STEPS!

OW, OW, OW!

"REFLECT UPON THE PATH"

I DON'T SEE A PATH

"ILLUMINATE THE" THE STEPS!

"SURVEY THE DEPTHS BEYOND THE FLAME"

"REFLECT UPON THE PATH BEHIND ME

TO ILLUMINATE THE STEPS BEFORE ME"

"REFLECT UPON THE PATH BEHIND ME

TO ILLUMINATE THE STEPS BEFORE ME"

I FIGURED IT OUT!

SCORPION'S COMING

BREATHE, BREATHE

THROW ROCKS AT THE, AT THE TUNNEL CEILING

NOW

ALL RIGHT, WHO'S THERE?

AND WHERE ARE YA?

WHAT'S THE RIDDLE FOR THE EXIT?

DON'T KNOW

AMANDA! AMANDA!

AMANDA, ELIZABETH SHAW!

MANDIE!

MANDIE, MANDIE, HELP

I CAN'T

YOU SOUND LIKE POLLY

JOE

YES, NOW HELP ME

THE WORK OF YOUR INEPT AND UNQUALIFIED NIECE

I AM SORRY

NOW YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PROMISE

THEY'RE MINING CHEROKEE GOLD

MISSED A SPOT

NO, NO, DON'T STOP

YOU SEEM TO BE HAVING A MIGHTY FINE TIME

WE'RE QUITE HAPPY FOR YOU TO CONTINUE

YOU CAN MINE EVERY OUNCE OF GOLD IN THIS ROOM

I'LL EVEN PAY YOU A DOLLAR A DAY

THEN YOU'LL HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF HELPING US RETURN THE GOLD

TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER - THE CHEROKEES

I HAVE A COLLEGE EDUCATION

I'M WORTH THREE DOLLARS A DAY

EXCELLENT

IF YOU'LL MINE THREE TIMES AS MUCH GOLD AS EVERYONE ELSE

IN THE SAME TIME, YOU HAVE YOURSELF A DEAL

NO FAIR

I GOT A COLLEGE EDUCATION

LIAR

YOU CAN'T EVEN DISGUISE YOURSELF PROPERLY

OUCH, YOU NINCOMPOOP!

DOGGONE IT, WOMAN,

YOU COULDN'T RUN A SCAM TO SAVE YOUR LIFE

ELIZABETH, MEET JIM'S WIDOW AND HER FRIEND

HER HUSBAND, ZACH HUGHES

I JUST WANNA GO HOME

WHO GETS TO OPEN IT?

AMANDA'S GRANDMOTHER

GATHER YOUR COURAGE, LADIES

WE SHOULD LIKE A WORD WITH MRS MARY ELIZABETH TAFT

PLEASE WAIT HERE

I'M SORRY, BUT I HAVE NO APPOINTMENTS

CURRENTLY SCHEDULED

MIGHT THEY BE EXPECTED

AT THE TAFT PIG FARM DOWN THE STREET?

JOHN: MRS TAFT, PLEASE FORGIVE OUR BREACH IN ETIQUETTE

WE WERE TOO ANXIOUS TO SEND AHEAD OR DRESS PROPERLY

TOO ANXIOUS TO SEE ME?

TO WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY OWE THIS DUBIOUS PLEASURE?

DID JOHN FINALLY INCLUDE YOU ON ONE OF HIS TRIPS?

MY DAUGHTER WAS ALWAYS SO ANXIOUS TO JOIN YOU,

I JUST PRESUMED YOU NEVER LIKED HER ENOUGH TO TAKE HER

THE PROBLEM WITH PRESUMING IS THAT YOU NEVER KNOW FOR SURE

QUITE RIGHT

BUT WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN LITTLE PRESUMPTIONS, DON'T WE,

WHICH ARE QUITE LIKELY INCORRECT

WHY?

I'M QUITE CERTAIN THEY LED YOU TO BELIEVE

THAT I ANNULLED YOUR MOTHER'S MARRIAGE TO YOUR FATHER, JIM,

BECAUSE I DON'T CARE FOR THE CHEROKEE

INCORRECT

I ANNULLED THE MARRIAGE BECAUSE YOUR MOTHER LOVED JOHN,

NOT YOUR FATHER

AND I SIMPLY COULD NOT ABIDE THE DISHONESTY

MOTHER!

OH, COME NOW DEAR

SURELY THIS IS NOT NEWS

WELL, WELL, ISN'T IT A RELIEF TO HAVE THE TRUTH OUT AT LAST?

ARE YOU REALLY MY GRANDMOTHER?

WHY DID YOU TELL MOTHER I WAS DEAD?

WHY DID YOU SEND ME AWAY?

BECAUSE I DID NOT CARE FOR THE CHEROKEE,

AND BECAUSE I COULD NOT FATHOM RAISING ONE IN MY OWN HOME,

AFTER WHAT THEY'D DONE TO MY FAMILY

BUT I DOUBT YOU'VE HEARD THAT PART OF THE STORY

QUITE THE CONTRARY, MRS TAFT

SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING

WE HAVE BROUGHT YOU A GIFT

I'M HONORED THAT YOU CAME ALL THIS WAY

TO GIVE ME A FILTHY POTATO SACK

IT'S BEEN NO TROUBLE, MA'AM

ASIDE FROM AMANDA AND JOHN NEARLY DYING

WHAT COULD YOU HAVE BROUGHT THAT I COULD POSSIBLY WANT?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

WE'D BE HAPPY TO LEAVE AND NEVER RETURN

HA, I SEE MY QUICK WIT JUST SKIPPED A GENERATION

MRS TAFT, WECHEROKEE BELIEVE IT IS PROPER

TO RETURN A THING TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER,

NO MATTER THAT IT'S BEEN DECADES OUT OF HER POSSESSION

NO MATTER HOW WRONGED WE MAY HAVE BEEN

I SENT SO MANY TO SEARCH FOR THIS

THEN NO MORE WOULD GO

AMANDA FOUND IT

UNCLE JOHN WANTED YOU TO BELIEVE

THAT HE AND I ARE DECENT PEOPLE

HE COULDN'T BRING BACK YOUR FAMILY, SO WE WENT AFTER THIS

WELL, YOU DO RECALL HOW TO USE A BATHTUB, DO YOU NOT?

CALVIN

YES, YOU ARE MY GRANDDAUGHTER

EXCUSE ME

JOHN AND I WERE JUST HAVING A LIVELY DISCUSSION

ABOUT WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN NEXT,

AND I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD BE INCLUDED

GIVEN THE CHOICE, WHERE WOULD YOU PREFER TO LIVE,

HERE OR AT THE SHAW MANSION?

ELIZABETH, WOULD YOU PLEASE SLOW DOWN

YOU ASSUME THAT IT'S GOING TO BE AN EASY DECISION FOR HER,

BUT I DON'T SEE IT THAT WAY!

THEN WE'LL SHARE HER BACK AND FORTH UNTIL SHE DECIDES

STOP

DID YOU READ THE LETTERS I SNUCK IN YOUR PURSE?

YES

IF YOU REALLY LOVED UNCLE JOHN INSTEAD OF DADDY,

WHY DID YOU MARRY DADDY?

I DIDN'T THINK THAT JOHN LOVED ME

AND I HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THAT WOULD CHANGE

I LOVED YOU THE DAY WE MET AND EVERY DAY AFTER

I LOVED YOU ON EVERY TRIP I TOOK ALONE,

AND EVEN WHEN YOU MARRIED MY BROTHER

AND THEN YOU ERASED ME FROM YOUR MEMORY

AND THEN YOU RETURNED,

AND, NO, I DID NOT LOVE YOU WHEN YOU ARRIVED

AND I CERTAINLY DIDN'T LOVE YOU ON THE TRAIN

BUT THEN YOU HAD TO GO AND RIDE THAT HORSE

AND NOT TURN AROUND WHEN I ASKED YOU TO

AND CARRY ME OUT OF THE CAVE

ELIZABETH, I LOVE YOU

I ALWAYS HAVE AND I ALWAYS WILL

SHOULD I LEAVE YOU ALONE NOW?

ABSOLUTELY NOT
