1
00:00:01,555 --> 00:00:04,046
Hey! You take back
what you said about my brother!
2
00:00:05,592 --> 00:00:09,289
I do believe this boy is peeved at us, Bert.
3
00:00:09,362 --> 00:00:11,387
Yeah, well, don't blame us
'cause your brother's a chicken.
4
00:00:11,464 --> 00:00:13,489
You have no right to say that.
5
00:00:13,567 --> 00:00:16,832
- Yeah, well, who's gonna stop us?
- I am!
6
00:00:17,470 --> 00:00:19,961
Come on, boy,
you show us how brave you are.
7
00:00:20,473 --> 00:00:22,168
Put up or shut up, squirt!
8
00:01:52,499 --> 00:01:55,366
The weeks that followed
the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor
9
00:01:55,435 --> 00:01:57,699
affected our family deeply.
10
00:01:57,771 --> 00:02:01,207
It was a time of great anxiety
and uncertainty.
11
00:02:01,274 --> 00:02:03,674
And like all Americans,
we wanted to contribute
12
00:02:03,743 --> 00:02:06,837
to the war effort as best we could.
13
00:02:06,913 --> 00:02:10,940
My brother, Jason,
was particularly troubled during this time.
14
00:02:11,017 --> 00:02:14,544
He wanted to serve his country,
but doubts of conscience forced him
15
00:02:14,621 --> 00:02:18,057
to face one of the most
difficult decisions of his life.
16
00:02:18,124 --> 00:02:19,921
You're making a big mistake, Jason.
17
00:02:19,993 --> 00:02:23,326
- I still haven't decided anything.
- You can't keep putting it off.
18
00:02:23,396 --> 00:02:26,229
You won't get drafted right now because
you've served your time in the Guard,
19
00:02:26,299 --> 00:02:29,462
- but that could change in a hurry.
- I know.
20
00:02:29,536 --> 00:02:31,629
Our whole outfit is regular Army now.
21
00:02:31,705 --> 00:02:34,105
A lot of your old buddies are
asking about you.
22
00:02:34,174 --> 00:02:38,235
You'd be a cinch to get sergeant stripes,
then maybe go on to OCS, the way I did.
23
00:02:38,311 --> 00:02:40,745
But you've finished college already.
24
00:02:41,047 --> 00:02:42,947
I have to think about it.
25
00:02:43,016 --> 00:02:46,474
I just wanted you to know,
we'd like to have you with us.
26
00:02:47,587 --> 00:02:49,077
I'll call you.
27
00:02:49,823 --> 00:02:52,155
Thanks for coming by. Good luck.
28
00:03:00,767 --> 00:03:02,860
Remember, time's a-wasting.
29
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:07,700
Take care, Billy.
30
00:03:21,654 --> 00:03:23,212
What did you tell Billy?
31
00:03:23,289 --> 00:03:25,416
I told him I needed some more time.
32
00:03:25,492 --> 00:03:27,357
Would it help to talk about it?
33
00:03:27,427 --> 00:03:30,988
Yes, it would.
But right now I've got a class to make.
34
00:03:31,064 --> 00:03:33,760
Somehow, school doesn't seem
very important these days.
35
00:03:33,833 --> 00:03:36,495
You're so close to finishing,
it would be a shame if you didn't.
36
00:03:36,569 --> 00:03:40,596
I so feel guilty when I hear
about the guys in my old Guard outfit.
37
00:03:40,673 --> 00:03:44,404
- Might be good to serve with your friends.
- I guess it would.
38
00:03:44,477 --> 00:03:47,071
I've got to get going. See you later.
39
00:03:47,947 --> 00:03:50,609
You think he should give up everything
now just to be with his friends?
40
00:03:50,683 --> 00:03:51,980
He'd be with men he knows.
41
00:03:56,890 --> 00:03:59,620
I'm having enough trouble
with John-Boy joining up in England.
42
00:03:59,692 --> 00:04:03,184
Being a reporter for Stars and Stripes
isn't the same as being a foot soldier.
43
00:04:03,263 --> 00:04:06,858
Reporting on a war means
being in the line of fire.
44
00:04:06,933 --> 00:04:08,901
If that's not bad enough, I expect Jim-Bob
45
00:04:08,968 --> 00:04:11,300
to come home any day now
and say he's joined the Air Corps.
46
00:04:11,371 --> 00:04:13,999
They won't take him yet, so take it easy.
47
00:04:14,073 --> 00:04:16,007
Ben's still here, we've got
enough government contracts
48
00:04:16,075 --> 00:04:17,406
to last us for a long time.
49
00:04:17,477 --> 00:04:21,243
He's getting impatient.
All he ever talks about now is the Navy.
50
00:04:21,314 --> 00:04:26,115
Let's face it, Liv. There's a war,
that means men, young men.
51
00:04:26,186 --> 00:04:29,121
I listen to the radio
and I read the newspapers.
52
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:32,090
But these are our sons we're talking about.
53
00:04:43,203 --> 00:04:45,933
No, that is not it.
54
00:04:46,072 --> 00:04:47,972
Oh, here, let me do it.
55
00:04:49,876 --> 00:04:52,344
There. Now, that is the way it should be.
56
00:04:52,412 --> 00:04:54,710
That is where I had it to begin with.
57
00:04:54,781 --> 00:04:57,648
Mr. Godsey, you simply
lack the artistic touch.
58
00:04:59,619 --> 00:05:01,553
Hey, Ike, Corabeth.
59
00:05:01,621 --> 00:05:04,317
You're just in time to see,
we just put John-Boy's name up there.
60
00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:06,255
Looks good, sure does.
61
00:05:06,326 --> 00:05:09,022
I suppose it won't be long
before we'll be adding your name up there.
62
00:05:09,095 --> 00:05:11,222
I don't know how soon it will be.
63
00:05:11,297 --> 00:05:15,393
Don't wait too long.
Army needs young men like you.
64
00:05:15,468 --> 00:05:17,231
Here's a dollar for the gas, Ike.
65
00:05:17,303 --> 00:05:20,431
I'm just so proud of all our
fine young men in the service.
66
00:05:20,507 --> 00:05:23,670
I just pray we don't lose any more boys.
67
00:05:23,743 --> 00:05:27,110
Yeah. Still hurts when we think of G.W.
And Curt.
68
00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:29,705
I've got to be getting to school.
See you later.
69
00:05:29,782 --> 00:05:30,874
Bye.
70
00:05:34,721 --> 00:05:38,919
- Boy, he'll be in the service in no time.
- Don't be so certain.
71
00:05:40,159 --> 00:05:41,820
He's so sensitive.
72
00:05:43,630 --> 00:05:46,463
I just can't think of Jason as a warrior.
73
00:05:53,206 --> 00:05:55,538
I sure am sorry, Walton.
74
00:05:55,608 --> 00:05:57,906
But the regulations haven't changed.
75
00:05:57,977 --> 00:05:59,672
Without you getting permission
from your parents,
76
00:05:59,746 --> 00:06:01,873
you're still too young to join the Air Corps.
77
00:06:01,948 --> 00:06:06,180
- I'm getting tired of waiting.
- I admire your spirit, but rules are rules.
78
00:06:06,252 --> 00:06:08,948
Yeah, but I'm ready
to join the fight right now.
79
00:06:09,022 --> 00:06:10,751
You know, so am I.
80
00:06:10,823 --> 00:06:12,586
But I'm close to retirement,
81
00:06:12,659 --> 00:06:14,286
so they've got me
running a recruiting office,
82
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,123
instead of doing what I was trained for.
83
00:06:16,195 --> 00:06:18,095
- What was that?
- Cavalry.
84
00:06:18,164 --> 00:06:20,894
Served in France.
Been a horse soldier ever since.
85
00:06:20,967 --> 00:06:23,060
Well, up till now, that is.
86
00:06:23,136 --> 00:06:25,104
But at least I'm doing my part.
87
00:06:25,171 --> 00:06:28,402
- I'm sure not.
- You will, Walton.
88
00:06:28,474 --> 00:06:31,034
I got a feeling you're gonna make
a good pilot one of these days
89
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:33,078
and we're going to need them.
90
00:06:33,146 --> 00:06:36,115
- You come see me on your birthday.
- Yes, sir.
91
00:07:39,212 --> 00:07:41,510
Sergeant Gates said I'd make a good pilot.
92
00:07:41,581 --> 00:07:44,345
Recruiting officer will say almost anything
to keep you interested.
93
00:07:44,417 --> 00:07:48,183
No, he was really nice.
He didn't talk to me like I was a dumb kid.
94
00:07:48,254 --> 00:07:50,745
If it wasn't for that rule about age,
I'd be in right now.
95
00:07:50,823 --> 00:07:55,658
- And Mama wouldn't be talking to you.
- I wouldn't be where she could talk to me.
96
00:07:56,596 --> 00:07:59,087
I'm thinking about the Navy.
97
00:07:59,165 --> 00:08:02,692
- Daddy needs you right here.
- Anybody could be doing what I'm doing.
98
00:08:02,769 --> 00:08:06,034
- I want to get in with the action.
- Why are you so anxious to go?
99
00:08:06,105 --> 00:08:07,595
There's a war on, Jason.
100
00:08:07,674 --> 00:08:09,938
Don't you feel uncomfortable
when you're not in uniform?
101
00:08:10,009 --> 00:08:14,673
Sure I do. But that's not reason enough
to rush out and put one on.
102
00:08:14,747 --> 00:08:17,272
Going to be joining up with the old outfit?
103
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:22,219
- I'm not sure yet.
- You're crazy not to join now, Jason.
104
00:08:22,288 --> 00:08:26,247
I'm the one who's facing going right now,
Jim-Bob. Not you or Ben.
105
00:08:30,730 --> 00:08:33,290
- What's wrong with him?
- Beats me.
106
00:08:39,338 --> 00:08:42,899
- What are you up to?
- Just reading an old book of poetry.
107
00:08:43,409 --> 00:08:47,072
It's funny, when I was in school
I didn't like poetry much.
108
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,210
It seems to have more meaning
for me now.
109
00:08:50,283 --> 00:08:53,650
It's kind of like music
when something gets you down.
110
00:08:55,488 --> 00:08:59,390
What did you want to talk to me about?
What's on your mind?
111
00:09:00,593 --> 00:09:01,890
The war.
112
00:09:02,995 --> 00:09:05,054
War's on everybody's mind.
113
00:09:06,432 --> 00:09:11,995
I've been really confused lately,
wondering whether to join up now or wait.
114
00:09:12,071 --> 00:09:14,369
Don't do anything until you have to.
115
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,501
I kind of feel like I have a responsibility
to get in on the fight.
116
00:09:18,578 --> 00:09:22,742
- You sound just like Curt.
- I've been thinking a lot about Curt lately.
117
00:09:24,417 --> 00:09:26,749
Our family's sacrificed enough already.
118
00:09:26,819 --> 00:09:29,982
I don't want any of my brothers
going off to war.
119
00:09:30,356 --> 00:09:33,052
Most men my age don't have any choice.
120
00:09:33,126 --> 00:09:36,061
Don't join, Jason.
We need you here at home.
121
00:09:41,934 --> 00:09:45,097
It's not just the joining up
that's bothering me.
122
00:09:50,643 --> 00:09:52,008
Mary Ellen,
123
00:09:52,745 --> 00:09:55,441
I don't know if I can kill
another human being,
124
00:09:55,515 --> 00:09:57,506
not even for my country.
125
00:10:19,238 --> 00:10:21,706
Jim-Bob, have you seen my dictionary?
126
00:10:23,042 --> 00:10:25,442
- What have you done to yourself?
- Nothing. Stop sneaking up on me.
127
00:10:25,511 --> 00:10:28,776
I'm not sneaking! Let me see!
Come on, let me see!
128
00:10:29,982 --> 00:10:32,712
Oh, what is that awful thing on your arm?
129
00:10:32,785 --> 00:10:35,185
- It's an Army Air Corps tattoo.
- It's ugly.
130
00:10:35,254 --> 00:10:37,017
It is not. I like it.
131
00:10:37,089 --> 00:10:39,057
That's the stupidest thing
you've ever done.
132
00:10:39,125 --> 00:10:41,650
- I'm proud of it.
- Well, you better be.
133
00:10:41,727 --> 00:10:45,060
'Cause you're gonna have
to live with it the rest of your life.
134
00:10:45,131 --> 00:10:47,929
- Mama's going to disown you.
- You better not tell her, Erin.
135
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,399
I won't tell her.
136
00:10:49,468 --> 00:10:52,164
But how long do you think you can
keep a thing like that a secret?
137
00:10:52,238 --> 00:10:54,798
Well, at least till I get in the Air Corps.
Want to see it move?
138
00:10:54,874 --> 00:10:56,569
Oh, Jim-Bob, that's revolting!
139
00:10:56,642 --> 00:10:59,543
- Guys in the Air Corps are going to love it.
- The girls are going to hate it.
140
00:10:59,612 --> 00:11:02,877
- Not all girls are like you, Erin.
- Nice ones are.
141
00:11:21,534 --> 00:11:22,728
Where are you off to?
142
00:11:22,802 --> 00:11:26,863
I've been wanting to go up there lately.
Lonesome for the mountain.
143
00:11:26,939 --> 00:11:29,669
I know how you feel. Mind if I join you?
144
00:11:30,543 --> 00:11:32,670
Let's get a front row seat.
145
00:11:51,597 --> 00:11:53,997
You followed me here, didn't you?
146
00:11:54,467 --> 00:11:56,867
It was what you said last night.
147
00:11:56,936 --> 00:11:59,700
It's not easy to talk about, with anyone.
148
00:12:00,373 --> 00:12:02,967
You shouldn't feel that way, Jason.
149
00:12:03,042 --> 00:12:06,671
I talked to the hospital chaplain today
and he opened my eyes to a lot of things.
150
00:12:06,746 --> 00:12:08,646
Did he say there was something
wrong with me?
151
00:12:08,714 --> 00:12:11,205
He had no idea who I was talking about.
152
00:12:11,284 --> 00:12:13,752
But he said that anyone
who feels the way you do is probably
153
00:12:13,819 --> 00:12:17,550
just a little more sensitive and honest
than the rest of us.
154
00:12:17,757 --> 00:12:21,022
All my life I've been taught
that killing is wrong.
155
00:12:21,661 --> 00:12:25,097
I don't know if I can change now,
or even if I want to.
156
00:12:26,599 --> 00:12:29,329
"Thou shalt not kill. "
157
00:12:29,402 --> 00:12:31,029
Those aren't just words to me.
158
00:12:31,103 --> 00:12:35,403
You don't have to change, Jason.
You can do your part without killing.
159
00:12:35,474 --> 00:12:37,874
The Army doesn't work like that.
160
00:12:37,944 --> 00:12:40,879
A soldier has one purpose,
to kill the enemy.
161
00:12:42,081 --> 00:12:45,983
We've all been taught that killing
is totally against God's plan.
162
00:12:46,485 --> 00:12:47,816
That's true.
163
00:12:47,887 --> 00:12:52,415
But I can't deny the fact that
sometimes we have to fight to survive.
164
00:12:52,491 --> 00:12:54,925
Doesn't make much sense, does it?
165
00:12:55,995 --> 00:13:00,398
The chaplain said that there's
a law called the conscience clause.
166
00:13:00,466 --> 00:13:02,696
It exempts men from
carrying a weapon if he can prove
167
00:13:02,768 --> 00:13:07,364
that his moral and religious beliefs
are too strong to justify killing.
168
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,634
I know.
169
00:13:09,909 --> 00:13:13,606
But I also know how people
look on conscientious objectors.
170
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,080
The ones in work camps
take a lot of abuse from the public,
171
00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:21,415
and those in uniform get
sneered at by the troops,
172
00:13:21,487 --> 00:13:23,717
even though they work as medics
173
00:13:23,789 --> 00:13:27,486
or ambulance drivers right there
in the combat zone.
174
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,154
Thought we were supposed to be
fighting for freedom of thought,
175
00:13:30,229 --> 00:13:31,594
among other things.
176
00:13:31,664 --> 00:13:35,065
You have to sacrifice a lot
of freedoms in war time.
177
00:13:36,736 --> 00:13:40,763
It's just so hard to prove you're really
sincere about something like this.
178
00:13:41,207 --> 00:13:45,303
You have a good reputation, Jason.
Everybody would speak up for you.
179
00:13:45,378 --> 00:13:47,403
And a lot of others would call me a coward.
180
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,072
You're not a coward.
181
00:13:50,583 --> 00:13:51,572
I wonder.
182
00:14:12,004 --> 00:14:13,369
Howdy.
183
00:14:13,439 --> 00:14:16,033
- I'm Sergeant Gates.
- Jason Walton.
184
00:14:16,108 --> 00:14:17,871
- Coffee?
- No, thanks.
185
00:14:17,943 --> 00:14:20,104
I just came for some information.
186
00:14:20,179 --> 00:14:22,545
- Have a seat.
- Thanks.
187
00:14:23,682 --> 00:14:25,650
Walton, Walton...
188
00:14:26,619 --> 00:14:30,749
- You any relation to James Robert?
- My youngest brother.
189
00:14:31,323 --> 00:14:32,915
Spunky young man.
190
00:14:33,259 --> 00:14:36,057
Hope he doesn't do anything rash
before he's of age.
191
00:14:36,128 --> 00:14:38,358
That's how my folks feel.
192
00:14:38,431 --> 00:14:41,992
So, you want to sign up
before he beats you to it, huh?
193
00:14:42,068 --> 00:14:44,901
Well, I do want to serve as best I can.
194
00:14:45,971 --> 00:14:50,806
But I really came for some information
about being a conscientious objector.
195
00:15:00,553 --> 00:15:02,919
Do you know what you're asking for?
196
00:15:02,988 --> 00:15:05,650
No, not really. That's why I'm here.
197
00:15:07,393 --> 00:15:10,954
I don't think you understand
what you're getting yourself into.
198
00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:15,933
I mean, you're gonna ruin your future,
in the Army and the rest of your life.
199
00:15:16,001 --> 00:15:19,459
I just want the information, Sergeant.
Do I have to go elsewhere?
200
00:15:19,538 --> 00:15:21,904
I'm just trying to help you, Walton.
201
00:15:21,974 --> 00:15:25,501
This is supposed to be taken care of
by your local draft board.
202
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,387
Now, this is a Selective Service pamphlet.
203
00:15:37,456 --> 00:15:42,052
There's a form in it that you apply
for conscientious objector.
204
00:15:42,128 --> 00:15:44,858
My advice to you is, don't use it.
205
00:15:46,499 --> 00:15:48,558
Howdy, Sergeant.
You got our induction papers yet?
206
00:15:48,634 --> 00:15:49,999
Yeah, Sarge. We're raring to go!
207
00:15:50,069 --> 00:15:53,197
Your papers are all ready,
you just hold up a bit.
208
00:15:53,272 --> 00:15:54,830
Now, if you go through with this,
209
00:15:54,907 --> 00:15:57,137
you're not the only one
that's gonna have a hard time.
210
00:15:57,209 --> 00:15:59,643
Your whole family is gonna suffer.
211
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,905
Can I just have the pamphlet, Sergeant?
212
00:16:03,149 --> 00:16:05,640
You told them about your being a CO?
213
00:16:05,718 --> 00:16:06,946
Not yet.
214
00:16:19,932 --> 00:16:22,127
Well, at least with John Curtis
walking now,
215
00:16:22,201 --> 00:16:24,396
he doesn't wear out the knees
of his rompers so quickly.
216
00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:27,633
He'll get back to his knees as soon
as he starts playing marbles.
217
00:16:27,706 --> 00:16:30,766
I used to have to sew patches
on Jim-Bob's patches.
218
00:16:30,843 --> 00:16:33,403
Remember how your mama
used to mend your coveralls
219
00:16:33,479 --> 00:16:37,313
after sliding into home or trying
to stretch a single into a double?
220
00:16:37,383 --> 00:16:40,648
- Which was easier, Mama, boys or girls?
- Neither.
221
00:16:40,719 --> 00:16:43,552
Not having children
would have been easier.
222
00:16:44,290 --> 00:16:47,453
- Well, another night at the Dew Drop.
- At least you get to go out.
223
00:16:47,526 --> 00:16:50,290
All they want to hear is Praise the
Lord and Pass the Ammunition.
224
00:16:50,362 --> 00:16:52,091
How about Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree?
225
00:16:52,164 --> 00:16:54,496
That, too, but it's a job.
226
00:16:55,367 --> 00:16:56,527
Jason!
227
00:16:57,436 --> 00:17:00,166
Found this on the floor. Is this yours?
228
00:17:00,839 --> 00:17:03,535
- What if it is?
- You're crazy! You know that?
229
00:17:03,609 --> 00:17:05,201
What's going on?
230
00:17:05,678 --> 00:17:07,976
I went to the recruiting office today, Daddy.
231
00:17:08,047 --> 00:17:10,607
I picked up this
conscientious objector pamphlet.
232
00:17:11,150 --> 00:17:12,310
I just want to study it.
233
00:17:12,384 --> 00:17:14,147
What do you think other people
are gonna say about you?
234
00:17:14,220 --> 00:17:15,881
Ben, you don't know
what you're talking about.
235
00:17:15,955 --> 00:17:19,015
Now, wait a minute.
Nobody's given Jason a chance to explain.
236
00:17:19,091 --> 00:17:21,753
Mama, I haven't
done anything definite yet.
237
00:17:21,827 --> 00:17:25,786
Then don't. Give yourself plenty
of time to think this out.
238
00:17:26,565 --> 00:17:30,695
Don't worry, I will. I've got to get going.
239
00:17:35,474 --> 00:17:37,237
You're not going to let him
do that, are you, Daddy?
240
00:17:37,309 --> 00:17:38,708
Ben, you're more concerned
about what people
241
00:17:38,777 --> 00:17:40,870
are going to say
than about how Jason feels.
242
00:17:40,946 --> 00:17:42,914
Don't you care about what
other people say about you?
243
00:17:42,982 --> 00:17:45,416
This family has suffered enough
by this war already.
244
00:17:45,484 --> 00:17:48,715
Hold it, now. Jason said he was
gonna think about it. Give him time.
245
00:17:48,787 --> 00:17:52,951
- He'll do the right thing.
- And just what is the right thing, John?
246
00:18:04,670 --> 00:18:07,764
Fighting among ourselves
isn't gonna help Jason any.
247
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,434
He's got enough on his mind as it is.
248
00:18:24,790 --> 00:18:28,157
- It's chilly. You want a sweater?
- No.
249
00:18:31,063 --> 00:18:34,191
I remember the night Jason was born.
It was cold like this.
250
00:18:36,635 --> 00:18:39,229
He's confused and scared, Liv.
251
00:18:39,305 --> 00:18:41,500
I just don't want him to do something
he's gonna regret.
252
00:18:41,573 --> 00:18:43,768
He'll work it out for himself.
253
00:18:44,443 --> 00:18:47,879
There are times when a man
just doesn't have a choice.
254
00:18:48,447 --> 00:18:51,974
You think it's wrong for Jason
to listen to his own feelings?
255
00:18:52,051 --> 00:18:55,680
You can't run away from yourself
and that's just what Jason is doing.
256
00:18:55,754 --> 00:18:58,814
- You sound so sure.
- I know what he's thinking.
257
00:19:00,426 --> 00:19:04,260
I know if he doesn't face up to it now,
he'll always question himself.
258
00:19:04,330 --> 00:19:07,026
I just can't let him throw away his pride.
259
00:19:07,099 --> 00:19:08,828
His pride or yours?
260
00:19:10,636 --> 00:19:12,228
That's not fair, Liv.
261
00:19:13,605 --> 00:19:16,904
I grew up believing there are
some things a man doesn't question.
262
00:19:17,009 --> 00:19:18,909
Serving his country is one.
263
00:19:18,977 --> 00:19:21,775
Fighting to protect his family is another.
264
00:19:21,847 --> 00:19:23,576
I can't change now.
265
00:19:24,149 --> 00:19:26,083
I wouldn't expect you to, John.
266
00:19:26,852 --> 00:19:29,582
I love you for being strong and sure,
267
00:19:29,655 --> 00:19:32,283
just as I love Jason because he isn't.
268
00:19:34,660 --> 00:19:36,252
I love him, too.
269
00:19:37,796 --> 00:19:41,698
That's why I won't let him
do anything that will ruin his life.
270
00:19:46,372 --> 00:19:48,363
I'm cold. Let's go inside.
271
00:20:29,448 --> 00:20:31,916
Quit rubbing so hard, Erin.
272
00:20:31,984 --> 00:20:35,852
Jim-Bob, this nail polish remover
isn't going to work, either.
273
00:20:35,921 --> 00:20:39,823
We've tried every cleaner we've got.
I don't think that tattoo is coming off.
274
00:20:39,892 --> 00:20:42,190
I sure thought
the Baldwins' Recipe would do it.
275
00:20:42,261 --> 00:20:45,094
Maybe Ike will have something.
We sure don't.
276
00:20:45,164 --> 00:20:46,597
You know, I don't think
I'm gonna have to go to Ike's.
277
00:20:46,665 --> 00:20:49,327
- How come?
- It feels like my skin is coming off.
278
00:21:06,185 --> 00:21:08,176
- Hey, Ace.
- Hey.
279
00:21:08,353 --> 00:21:11,254
We'd stick around this
dump longer, barkeep,
280
00:21:11,323 --> 00:21:13,814
but we don't like that piano player of yours.
281
00:21:13,892 --> 00:21:16,725
Yeah, he's got himself
a yellow streak this wide.
282
00:21:16,795 --> 00:21:18,023
Let's go, Bert.
283
00:21:18,096 --> 00:21:20,155
Now, you hold on, you guys!
284
00:21:20,232 --> 00:21:22,962
Nobody's gonna talk about
my brother that way.
285
00:21:23,035 --> 00:21:25,230
Go away, shorty.
We don't want any trouble.
286
00:21:25,304 --> 00:21:27,772
- I'm gonna give you some.
- Let go, boy!
287
00:21:48,193 --> 00:21:50,184
All right, that's enough.
288
00:21:50,829 --> 00:21:52,729
Why don't you just relax and go on home?
289
00:21:52,798 --> 00:21:55,266
What are you going to do about it, chicken?
290
00:21:55,334 --> 00:21:58,269
- You're a lousy CO.
- Yeah, come on, boy.
291
00:21:58,337 --> 00:22:01,306
- Let's see you fight.
- I don't want to fight you.
292
00:22:03,542 --> 00:22:06,511
Come on.
Come on, it's my turn, slacker.
293
00:22:06,578 --> 00:22:08,409
Come on, Jason, we can lick 'em.
294
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,076
You don't belong in the Army.
Scared of his own shadow.
295
00:22:13,852 --> 00:22:16,116
You see now?
Your brother is a coward.
296
00:22:16,188 --> 00:22:17,815
Then I'll take you.
297
00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:21,382
Wouldn't be fair. Two against one.
298
00:22:21,493 --> 00:22:23,222
Come on.
299
00:22:29,701 --> 00:22:32,135
- You all right, Ben?
- Why didn't you fight them?
300
00:22:32,204 --> 00:22:34,001
I don't care what those jerks think.
301
00:22:34,072 --> 00:22:36,404
- They called you a coward.
- Doesn't mean I am one.
302
00:22:36,842 --> 00:22:39,003
Are you sure of that, Jason?
303
00:22:55,026 --> 00:22:58,359
You slept late.
- No classes till this afternoon.
304
00:22:59,130 --> 00:23:02,293
- There's some warm biscuits in the oven.
- I'm not hungry.
305
00:23:05,370 --> 00:23:07,702
- You doing the crossword puzzle?
- No.
306
00:23:07,772 --> 00:23:10,639
I'm looking at all the things
that might be rationed soon.
307
00:23:10,709 --> 00:23:13,143
We're lucky we live in the country.
308
00:23:13,211 --> 00:23:16,874
I wish we could grow tires.
The coupe needs them.
309
00:23:16,982 --> 00:23:19,780
- What happened to your chin?
- Ben didn't tell you?
310
00:23:19,851 --> 00:23:21,148
No.
311
00:23:21,219 --> 00:23:23,517
I got into a little tussle outside
the Dew Drop last night.
312
00:23:23,588 --> 00:23:26,716
- You, in a fight?
- Is that so hard to believe?
313
00:23:26,791 --> 00:23:28,782
It's not like you, Jason.
314
00:23:29,594 --> 00:23:31,585
I didn't fight back.
315
00:23:31,663 --> 00:23:33,187
Ben thinks I should have.
316
00:23:33,264 --> 00:23:34,891
They called me a coward.
317
00:23:34,966 --> 00:23:37,366
Now, why would they do a thing like that?
318
00:23:37,435 --> 00:23:41,929
They were in the recruiting office yesterday
when I picked up my CO pamphlet.
319
00:23:42,007 --> 00:23:45,306
- Where's Daddy?
- He and Ben went to Charlottesville.
320
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,540
It takes courage to go
against the tide, Jason.
321
00:23:52,283 --> 00:23:54,046
I wish I could help.
322
00:23:54,919 --> 00:23:57,387
Men seem to be the experts on killing.
323
00:23:57,455 --> 00:24:00,754
There's no reason why you
have to be like everybody else.
324
00:24:00,825 --> 00:24:04,226
That's not the right thing
to be thinking about these days.
325
00:24:04,295 --> 00:24:06,957
You got to think about it in your own time.
326
00:24:07,032 --> 00:24:08,761
Whatever you decision,
you're gonna have to live with it
327
00:24:08,833 --> 00:24:12,269
- for the rest of your life.
- So will our whole family.
328
00:24:12,337 --> 00:24:15,363
You got to consider yourself
before any of us.
329
00:24:17,142 --> 00:24:20,202
It would help me to know
how you feel about it.
330
00:24:22,647 --> 00:24:24,478
Probably the same way the first mother felt
331
00:24:24,549 --> 00:24:27,313
when she had to send her son off to war.
332
00:24:27,385 --> 00:24:30,218
Mostly, I want you to be alive and unhurt.
333
00:24:30,955 --> 00:24:33,515
But I also want you to feel right
about the kind of life you're living,
334
00:24:33,591 --> 00:24:36,025
whether we're at war or at peace.
335
00:24:36,528 --> 00:24:38,826
I thought about all that,
336
00:24:38,897 --> 00:24:42,389
about honor and responsibility,
and doing your part.
337
00:24:43,968 --> 00:24:46,493
I've always believed in those things.
338
00:24:46,571 --> 00:24:49,472
There are different kinds of courage, Jason.
339
00:24:50,041 --> 00:24:51,269
I know.
340
00:24:53,244 --> 00:24:55,838
I've just got to talk to Daddy.
341
00:24:55,914 --> 00:24:58,280
He may see things differently than we do.
342
00:24:58,349 --> 00:25:01,512
- I hope he'll have some answers for me.
- I'm sure he will.
343
00:25:01,586 --> 00:25:04,521
Just you be honest with him,
and try to tell him as best you can
344
00:25:04,589 --> 00:25:06,557
what you've been going through.
345
00:25:06,624 --> 00:25:09,252
I'll just have to make him understand.
346
00:25:14,332 --> 00:25:16,095
Is this the strongest thing you got, Ike?
347
00:25:16,267 --> 00:25:20,135
That'll take the spots off a zebra
and the stripes off a leopard or vice versa.
348
00:25:20,238 --> 00:25:22,206
- What about ink?
- Well, sure, it'll get rid of ink.
349
00:25:22,273 --> 00:25:24,468
- But don't let it get on your skin.
- Why not?
350
00:25:24,542 --> 00:25:27,477
Well, because it's got acid in it,
and it'll burn your skin.
351
00:25:27,545 --> 00:25:30,139
Oh. Got anything that
won't burn your skin?
352
00:25:30,215 --> 00:25:32,547
Exactly what is it that
you want to remove?
353
00:25:32,617 --> 00:25:34,016
It's personal.
354
00:25:35,053 --> 00:25:36,645
You can tell me.
355
00:25:42,994 --> 00:25:45,121
Your mama's going to kill you.
356
00:25:45,196 --> 00:25:47,664
That's why I need to find
something to take it off.
357
00:25:47,732 --> 00:25:50,200
Jim-Bob, I don't have anything
that'll take that off.
358
00:25:50,268 --> 00:25:52,964
Ike, you've got to help me.
You're my last hope.
359
00:25:53,037 --> 00:25:54,732
You know, come to think about it,
I did have a friend
360
00:25:54,806 --> 00:25:56,797
that tried to take off a tattoo.
361
00:25:56,875 --> 00:25:58,638
It seems his girlfriend was unhappy
362
00:25:58,710 --> 00:26:01,304
'cause he had another
girl's name on his arm.
363
00:26:01,379 --> 00:26:03,540
- What'd he do?
- Well, he tried two things.
364
00:26:03,615 --> 00:26:06,345
He put a poultice together
with milk and bread.
365
00:26:06,417 --> 00:26:09,818
Then, afterwards,
he tried a piece of raw liver on his arm.
366
00:26:09,888 --> 00:26:13,585
I can't even eat liver.
Did the tattoo go away?
367
00:26:13,658 --> 00:26:14,716
No.
368
00:26:16,227 --> 00:26:18,957
Maybe if I tried both of them.
369
00:26:19,030 --> 00:26:20,156
Yeah.
370
00:26:43,421 --> 00:26:45,753
- Do you smell something?
- No.
371
00:26:47,091 --> 00:26:49,116
Can't you smell that?
372
00:26:49,194 --> 00:26:52,186
Elizabeth, I don't know
what you're talking about.
373
00:26:52,263 --> 00:26:54,925
Smells horrible, like sour milk.
374
00:27:02,173 --> 00:27:04,107
It's stronger near you.
375
00:27:05,410 --> 00:27:09,141
- Where are you going?
- Upstairs where I can study in peace.
376
00:27:24,629 --> 00:27:26,824
I need to talk to you, Daddy.
377
00:27:30,602 --> 00:27:33,332
All right, Son. Let's go to the office.
378
00:27:40,878 --> 00:27:44,370
- We had fudge brownies for dessert.
- I don't want any.
379
00:27:44,949 --> 00:27:47,247
That's good. There's none left.
380
00:27:48,152 --> 00:27:50,712
I really appreciate that, Elizabeth.
381
00:27:51,489 --> 00:27:54,287
Daddy, I don't want you
to be ashamed of me
382
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,520
because of something I've done,
383
00:27:56,594 --> 00:27:58,391
something I might do.
384
00:27:59,130 --> 00:28:01,690
I doubt that could ever happen, Son.
385
00:28:02,467 --> 00:28:04,230
I have a feeling
you don't think the same way I do
386
00:28:04,302 --> 00:28:06,702
about this conscientious objector business.
387
00:28:06,771 --> 00:28:10,263
You've got to remember,
you're talking to an old soldier.
388
00:28:10,341 --> 00:28:12,104
You think I'm wrong?
389
00:28:12,644 --> 00:28:15,613
Yes, I do, Jason, if you go through with it.
390
00:28:16,447 --> 00:28:18,210
But it's your decision.
391
00:28:18,283 --> 00:28:20,183
I need help making it.
392
00:28:20,952 --> 00:28:23,580
All right, Son. I'll try to help you.
393
00:28:26,391 --> 00:28:29,554
Why don't you tell me
what's on your mind?
394
00:28:29,627 --> 00:28:31,891
Well, it's nothing new.
395
00:28:31,963 --> 00:28:34,989
I've always felt this way about killing.
396
00:28:35,066 --> 00:28:39,435
I understand about having
to kill stock to feed the family,
397
00:28:39,504 --> 00:28:42,996
but I usually made myself scarce
whenever Grandpa was slaughtering a hog
398
00:28:43,074 --> 00:28:45,634
or you were taking an ax
to chickens and turkeys.
399
00:28:45,710 --> 00:28:50,238
Nobody likes those chores, Son,
but they're jobs that have to be done.
400
00:28:50,315 --> 00:28:51,873
I realize that.
401
00:28:52,583 --> 00:28:56,349
When it comes to killing another man,
that's very different.
402
00:28:57,288 --> 00:28:59,688
I just know I couldn't do it.
403
00:28:59,757 --> 00:29:02,157
What makes you so sure, Jason?
404
00:29:02,226 --> 00:29:04,524
We've talked about this before.
405
00:29:04,829 --> 00:29:07,764
Remember those bayonet drills
in the National Guard?
406
00:29:07,832 --> 00:29:11,825
- I thought you worked all that out, Son.
- We weren't at war then.
407
00:29:11,936 --> 00:29:15,133
It was the main reason I didn't re-enlist.
408
00:29:15,206 --> 00:29:19,142
I've had nightmares about sticking
that steel blade in that dummy.
409
00:29:19,210 --> 00:29:22,338
It was filled with straw,
but I couldn't help thinking
410
00:29:22,413 --> 00:29:25,280
that there'd be screaming
flesh and blood coming at me,
411
00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:28,251
and maybe I just couldn't do it.
412
00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:31,220
And in that second of hesitation,
413
00:29:31,289 --> 00:29:33,416
it could mean the difference
in a buddy's life
414
00:29:33,491 --> 00:29:36,119
or a whole squad, a platoon, who knows?
415
00:29:38,096 --> 00:29:39,927
I know how you feel, Jason.
416
00:29:39,997 --> 00:29:43,398
I had those feelings
over in the trenches in France.
417
00:29:43,468 --> 00:29:45,993
Every man questions his limits, Son.
418
00:29:46,571 --> 00:29:49,404
But there comes a time
when you've got to believe
419
00:29:49,474 --> 00:29:51,999
you'll be there when you have to be.
420
00:29:53,077 --> 00:29:56,638
That time is now, Jason.
The enemy has attacked us.
421
00:29:56,714 --> 00:30:01,378
They're out to destroy our way of life
and they'll stop at nothing to do it.
422
00:30:03,020 --> 00:30:06,478
Don't worry, Son.
When the time comes, you'll be there.
423
00:30:08,693 --> 00:30:11,457
I wish I was as sure of that as you are.
424
00:30:12,497 --> 00:30:15,022
Jason, the Waltons
have always been there.
425
00:30:15,099 --> 00:30:17,829
Your grandpa and everybody
who came before him.
426
00:30:20,138 --> 00:30:22,698
I've been thinking a lot
about Grandpa lately.
427
00:30:22,774 --> 00:30:24,765
He was a man of peace, Jason,
428
00:30:24,842 --> 00:30:27,675
but he fought in the Spanish-American war.
429
00:30:28,446 --> 00:30:32,542
And our family fought on both sides
in the war between the states.
430
00:30:33,251 --> 00:30:36,084
And they fought for this land before that.
431
00:30:38,923 --> 00:30:40,857
Remember how Pa used to tell us
we ought to be proud
432
00:30:40,925 --> 00:30:43,450
of the pioneer stock in our family?
433
00:30:46,364 --> 00:30:48,855
Jason, this is fought-for land.
434
00:30:50,101 --> 00:30:53,537
Remember how Pa used to say
we owe something to all our family
435
00:30:53,604 --> 00:30:56,471
that's over there in the family graveyard?
436
00:30:56,541 --> 00:30:59,237
Remember how Pa used to talk like that?
437
00:31:02,313 --> 00:31:06,340
I've been thinking a lot about
maybe going up on the mountain.
438
00:31:06,417 --> 00:31:10,854
- Maybe spending the night there.
- It's the best place in the world, Son.
439
00:31:12,089 --> 00:31:15,183
- You want to come along?
- No, I don't think so.
440
00:31:15,660 --> 00:31:18,629
This is a trip you ought to
make by yourself.
441
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,591
I think I'm gonna turn in.
442
00:31:24,669 --> 00:31:26,899
I want to get an early start.
443
00:31:27,805 --> 00:31:29,466
Good night, Jason.
444
00:31:29,941 --> 00:31:31,533
Good night, Dad.
445
00:31:41,085 --> 00:31:45,488
Jim-Bob, you'll never convince me
that liver is gonna take off a tattoo.
446
00:31:45,556 --> 00:31:47,319
Ike said it might work.
447
00:31:47,391 --> 00:31:51,589
That's what he told you about
the milk and bread poultice you tried.
448
00:31:53,731 --> 00:31:55,221
Hurry up.
- No, no, no. Wait.
449
00:31:56,434 --> 00:31:58,197
Quick. Quick, okay.
450
00:32:03,674 --> 00:32:05,938
- What are you doing?
- Changing a light bulb.
451
00:32:06,010 --> 00:32:08,740
Don't stare, Elizabeth. It's not polite.
452
00:32:15,186 --> 00:32:17,211
He just walked in. Jason?
453
00:32:22,727 --> 00:32:25,355
It's for you. Billy Streeter.
454
00:32:28,533 --> 00:32:29,693
Hello?
455
00:32:30,701 --> 00:32:33,636
I haven't decided yet.
I need some more time.
456
00:32:34,605 --> 00:32:37,870
I know that.
I'm prepared to take my chances.
457
00:32:37,942 --> 00:32:41,844
You and the other guys are just
gonna have to go on without me.
458
00:32:43,414 --> 00:32:47,510
Look, Billy, I know you mean well,
but just stay off my back, will you?
459
00:32:50,421 --> 00:32:52,048
Yeah, I'm sorry.
460
00:32:52,924 --> 00:32:54,289
Good luck.
461
00:33:01,632 --> 00:33:04,226
I'm sorry about last night, Ben.
462
00:33:04,302 --> 00:33:06,736
You shouldn't have stood up for me.
463
00:33:06,804 --> 00:33:08,931
Should've done it yourself.
464
00:33:10,141 --> 00:33:12,666
I'm going up on the mountain early.
465
00:33:13,010 --> 00:33:14,375
Good night.
466
00:33:15,513 --> 00:33:16,912
Jason, wait.
467
00:33:23,487 --> 00:33:26,251
Did a lot of thinking about last night.
468
00:33:26,324 --> 00:33:28,656
I want you to take over my job at the mill.
469
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:32,217
- I couldn't do that. What about you?
- It'd be the best for both of us.
470
00:33:32,296 --> 00:33:35,424
That way I can go into the Navy
and you can get out of fighting.
471
00:33:35,499 --> 00:33:38,957
- I don't want to get out of anything.
- I'm trying to do you a favor.
472
00:33:39,070 --> 00:33:41,698
I thought you said you didn't want to fight.
473
00:33:41,772 --> 00:33:43,603
Don't do me any favors.
474
00:33:43,674 --> 00:33:46,507
I'm trying to save you the embarrassment!
475
00:33:46,577 --> 00:33:49,307
You're trying to save yourself
the embarrassment, Ben.
476
00:33:49,380 --> 00:33:53,578
That's right, I am. 'Cause I can't
see you disgracing this family!
477
00:33:53,651 --> 00:33:55,516
I'm sorry you feel that way.
478
00:33:55,586 --> 00:33:58,282
But not sorry enough
to change your mind, right?
479
00:33:58,356 --> 00:33:59,584
No, Ben.
480
00:34:01,859 --> 00:34:03,986
Jason, you're running away.
481
00:34:06,197 --> 00:34:08,927
Those guys were right. You're a coward!
482
00:34:09,834 --> 00:34:11,028
Jason!
483
00:34:54,612 --> 00:34:56,671
Must be beautiful
up in the mountain today.
484
00:34:56,747 --> 00:34:59,580
Thank heavens
the mountain never changes.
485
00:35:00,284 --> 00:35:03,811
Why is it every generation
seems to have to have a war?
486
00:35:03,921 --> 00:35:07,448
I figure this one won't last long, Liv,
once we really get into it.
487
00:35:07,525 --> 00:35:10,187
In the meantime,
it's tearing our family apart.
488
00:35:10,261 --> 00:35:12,286
We all see it differently.
489
00:35:13,464 --> 00:35:18,333
I pray to God, when this nightmare is over,
we never have to go through another.
490
00:35:19,637 --> 00:35:21,537
Jim-Bob went back to bed again.
491
00:35:21,605 --> 00:35:25,598
- Well, wake him up. He'll be late for school.
- It'll be a pleasure.
492
00:35:31,182 --> 00:35:33,548
Maybe if we take care of things
in this world, Liv,
493
00:35:33,617 --> 00:35:37,417
Elizabeth's children won't have
to grow up and go off to war.
494
00:35:42,493 --> 00:35:44,688
Jim-Bob, you're coming apart!
495
00:35:45,329 --> 00:35:47,797
- Elizabeth, go away!
- What's the matter, Elizabeth?
496
00:35:47,865 --> 00:35:51,164
- Nothing's the matter. Go away.
Elizabeth? You all right?
497
00:35:51,235 --> 00:35:55,399
- He's cut himself open. His arm's all raw.
- Are you hurt, Jim-Bob?
498
00:35:55,473 --> 00:35:59,102
- Everybody relax. It's only a piece of liver.
- Erin, you promised not to tell.
499
00:35:59,176 --> 00:36:03,044
- Oh, Jim-Bob, it's too late.
- Now what's going on around here?
500
00:36:05,983 --> 00:36:09,885
- I had this piece of liver on my arm.
Told you I saw raw meat.
501
00:36:09,954 --> 00:36:12,923
What on earth would make you
do such a thing?
502
00:36:14,158 --> 00:36:16,991
Come on, Jim-Bob.
We haven't got all day.
503
00:36:19,130 --> 00:36:20,529
What is it?
504
00:36:21,432 --> 00:36:22,956
It's a tattoo.
505
00:36:23,501 --> 00:36:24,934
Oh, Jim-Bob.
506
00:36:25,336 --> 00:36:28,737
- It's the Army Air Corps insignia.
- It's more revolting than the liver.
507
00:36:28,806 --> 00:36:31,240
That's what I keep telling him.
508
00:36:31,308 --> 00:36:35,039
I can't believe you would do such a thing.
It's disgusting.
509
00:36:38,249 --> 00:36:41,184
What am I gonna do, Daddy?
It won't come off.
510
00:36:41,418 --> 00:36:45,980
Looks to me like you're gonna have
to live with this the rest of your life.
511
00:36:46,423 --> 00:36:49,620
Question is, how are you gonna
live with your mama?
512
00:37:39,343 --> 00:37:41,208
Let me help you, Mama.
513
00:37:47,484 --> 00:37:51,443
- Are you still mad at me?
- No, I'm furious.
514
00:37:51,889 --> 00:37:55,416
- You knew I wouldn't approve.
- I'm sorry, I just didn't think.
515
00:37:55,492 --> 00:37:58,620
Saw that Air Corps insignia
and I just had to have the tattoo.
516
00:37:58,696 --> 00:38:00,459
You know how much
I want to join the Air Corps.
517
00:38:00,531 --> 00:38:04,297
I most certainly do. So does
everyone else this side of Richmond.
518
00:38:04,368 --> 00:38:06,859
If you'd let me join,
you wouldn't have to look at it.
519
00:38:06,937 --> 00:38:09,565
Sorry, Jim-Bob. That won't work.
520
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,574
I'd rather have you here
and unhurt for now,
521
00:38:11,642 --> 00:38:14,839
- even with that thing on your arm.
- I promise I'll keep it covered.
522
00:38:14,912 --> 00:38:16,777
I'd appreciate that.
523
00:38:16,847 --> 00:38:20,146
Who knows? It might go away.
Ike says that happens sometimes.
524
00:38:20,217 --> 00:38:24,278
- Then we'll just have to hope for the best.
- Thanks, Mom. I knew you'd understand.
525
00:38:37,434 --> 00:38:38,731
You cold?
526
00:38:39,870 --> 00:38:42,600
There's a chill in the air tonight.
527
00:38:42,673 --> 00:38:44,732
Seems nice and warm to me.
528
00:38:45,643 --> 00:38:48,942
I guess I'm thinking about Jason
up on the mountain.
529
00:38:49,546 --> 00:38:52,071
He's been up there overnight before.
530
00:38:52,449 --> 00:38:53,677
I know.
531
00:38:55,052 --> 00:38:58,112
Guess I'm thinking more
about myself than him.
532
00:38:58,188 --> 00:39:01,817
Is that why you're trying to turn
this place into a Turkish bath?
533
00:39:01,892 --> 00:39:03,291
I guess so.
534
00:39:04,161 --> 00:39:06,288
I said some real mean things
to him, Daddy.
535
00:39:06,363 --> 00:39:08,524
I just didn't mean them.
536
00:39:08,599 --> 00:39:10,999
I think he understands that, Son.
537
00:39:11,969 --> 00:39:13,334
I hope so.
538
00:39:13,971 --> 00:39:15,905
I was thinking about going up
on the mountain tomorrow morning
539
00:39:15,973 --> 00:39:19,739
and see if I can find him and
ask him if he wants a ride home.
540
00:39:20,577 --> 00:39:23,444
Well, I think Jason would appreciate that.
541
00:39:23,914 --> 00:39:28,647
He's probably up there right now,
sleeping in a blanket, staring at the stars.
542
00:39:28,986 --> 00:39:31,819
It's a great place to find peace of mind.
543
00:39:32,923 --> 00:39:34,481
I hope he does.
544
00:39:35,526 --> 00:39:37,084
I hope so, too.
545
00:40:10,394 --> 00:40:14,387
What's the matter with you, Walton?
Don't you like that thought?
546
00:40:14,465 --> 00:40:16,990
- I can see what you're saying is true, sir.
- All right.
547
00:40:17,067 --> 00:40:20,434
Let me see you hit that dummy,
yelling as you go.
548
00:40:20,504 --> 00:40:21,630
Move!
549
00:40:27,911 --> 00:40:29,845
That's it! You got him!
550
00:40:32,049 --> 00:40:33,812
Stick it in him again. That's it!
551
00:40:33,884 --> 00:40:35,351
You got him! Stick it in him again.
Come on!
552
00:40:35,419 --> 00:40:38,911
Get him again. That's it!
Stick it in him again.
553
00:40:38,989 --> 00:40:40,217
That's it.
554
00:41:38,148 --> 00:41:39,410
Grandpa,
555
00:41:40,818 --> 00:41:43,946
I came up here
because that's what you always did
556
00:41:44,021 --> 00:41:46,785
when something wasn't clear in your mind.
557
00:41:48,292 --> 00:41:51,989
I remember you told me
that the mountain couldn't lie,
558
00:41:53,097 --> 00:41:55,930
that it and the truth were bound together.
559
00:41:57,367 --> 00:42:01,565
Well, your world up here is still beautiful,
560
00:42:02,739 --> 00:42:04,297
still peaceful.
561
00:42:06,176 --> 00:42:08,508
But the world off this mountain,
562
00:42:09,279 --> 00:42:11,645
it's filled with hate right now.
563
00:42:13,817 --> 00:42:16,308
You wouldn't like it much, Grandpa.
564
00:42:21,024 --> 00:42:25,859
I sure wish you could be here to tell me
how I could fit into a world like that.
565
00:42:46,750 --> 00:42:48,479
Give yourself plenty of time
to think this out.
566
00:42:48,552 --> 00:42:50,918
Don't wait too long.
Army needs young men like you.
567
00:42:50,988 --> 00:42:54,014
I'm just so proud of
all our fine young men in the service.
568
00:42:54,091 --> 00:42:55,991
They're trying to
destroy our way of life
569
00:42:56,093 --> 00:42:57,720
and they'll stop at nothing to do it.
570
00:42:57,794 --> 00:42:59,728
You're crazy
not to join now, Jason.
571
00:42:59,796 --> 00:43:01,855
You have to consider yourself
before any of us.
572
00:43:01,932 --> 00:43:04,628
Jason, this is fought-for land.
573
00:43:04,701 --> 00:43:06,362
Your whole family is gonna suffer.
574
00:43:06,436 --> 00:43:08,336
Remember how Pa used to tell us
we ought to be proud
575
00:43:08,405 --> 00:43:10,464
of the pioneer stock in our family?
576
00:43:10,541 --> 00:43:14,500
You don't belong in the Army.
Scared of his own shadow.
577
00:43:14,578 --> 00:43:15,772
When the time comes,
you'll be there.
578
00:43:15,846 --> 00:43:17,746
I can't see you disgracing this family!
579
00:43:17,814 --> 00:43:19,304
You're not a coward.
580
00:43:19,383 --> 00:43:21,510
Every man questions his limits, Son.
581
00:43:21,585 --> 00:43:23,883
The Waltons have always been there.
582
00:43:23,954 --> 00:43:25,353
Don't worry, Son.
583
00:43:25,422 --> 00:43:29,085
When the time comes,
you'll be there.
584
00:44:14,771 --> 00:44:17,968
- Thought you might like a ride home.
- Sure would.
585
00:44:18,809 --> 00:44:22,540
I'm really sorry, Jason.
I had no right to say those things to you.
586
00:44:22,613 --> 00:44:25,707
I'll back you up with whatever you decide.
587
00:44:25,782 --> 00:44:27,215
Thanks, Ben.
588
00:44:48,505 --> 00:44:51,531
- Here, I'll take this for you, Jason.
- Thanks.
589
00:44:58,715 --> 00:45:01,445
I was about to send a search party out
for you two.
590
00:45:01,518 --> 00:45:03,611
Ben drove me into Rockfish.
591
00:45:03,687 --> 00:45:07,680
I took that conscientious objector
pamphlet back to the sergeant.
592
00:45:08,292 --> 00:45:10,089
I didn't fill it out.
593
00:45:11,361 --> 00:45:13,420
I was hoping that would happen.
594
00:45:13,497 --> 00:45:16,830
Hope you did it for yourself,
not for me or anyone else.
595
00:45:16,900 --> 00:45:18,492
I did it for me.
596
00:45:19,202 --> 00:45:23,468
I did it because I'm a part of this family
and a part of this country.
597
00:45:24,074 --> 00:45:27,532
Without either one,
I wouldn't be here or be what I am.
598
00:45:28,011 --> 00:45:30,980
And what you are
is pretty damn good, Son.
599
00:45:39,222 --> 00:45:40,883
I enlisted, Mama.
600
00:45:41,858 --> 00:45:43,621
I can finish college first, though.
601
00:45:43,694 --> 00:45:46,754
I don't have to report
until after I graduate.
602
00:45:47,064 --> 00:45:48,895
I feel better for it.
603
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,731
It's all I need to know.
You don't have to tell me any more.
604
00:46:06,083 --> 00:46:08,881
Jason had searched his soul
and found an inner strength
605
00:46:08,952 --> 00:46:12,319
that would help him enter
a new phase of his life.
606
00:46:12,389 --> 00:46:17,486
Jim-Bob's tattoo remained on his arm,
a symbol of his youthful lack of judgment
607
00:46:17,561 --> 00:46:20,257
as well as his commendable ambition.
608
00:46:20,330 --> 00:46:23,663
It is to this day a topic
which amuses everyone,
609
00:46:23,734 --> 00:46:25,395
except my mother.
610
00:46:29,172 --> 00:46:31,868
Jim-Bob, quit tossing and turning,
will you?
611
00:46:31,942 --> 00:46:34,433
I can't go to sleep.
Well, neither can I!
612
00:46:34,511 --> 00:46:36,775
Not with you spinning around
like a whirling dervish.
613
00:46:36,847 --> 00:46:38,576
What's the matter, Jim-Bob?
614
00:46:38,648 --> 00:46:41,481
Well, I got to thinking
about my Army Air Corps tattoo.
615
00:46:41,551 --> 00:46:44,247
What if I end up flying for
the Navy or the Marines?
616
00:46:44,321 --> 00:46:47,154
They'd really get on you, Jim-Bob.
That's what would happen.
617
00:46:47,224 --> 00:46:49,488
Pleasant dreams, Jim-Bob.
618
00:46:49,559 --> 00:46:51,151
Good night, Mama.
619
