1
00:01:24,652 --> 00:01:26,387
When we were children
we never thought...
2
00:01:26,454 --> 00:01:28,689
of the house
we were born in as beautiful...
3
00:01:28,756 --> 00:01:31,392
or plain,
or anything special...
4
00:01:31,459 --> 00:01:33,927
except that it was our home,
and it was there.
5
00:01:33,994 --> 00:01:37,265
But there came a day when we
were faced with giving it up.
6
00:01:37,331 --> 00:01:38,832
It crept up on us...
7
00:01:38,899 --> 00:01:40,901
as so many crises do...
8
00:01:40,968 --> 00:01:43,437
through the normal routine
of living.
9
00:01:46,707 --> 00:01:49,510
Hi, John-Boy, I'm an Indian.
I'm going to scalp you.
10
00:01:49,577 --> 00:01:51,912
I'm your big brother
and I'll spank you.
11
00:01:51,979 --> 00:01:53,714
Hey, that's not fair.
12
00:01:53,781 --> 00:01:55,416
My turn.
13
00:01:57,418 --> 00:02:00,321
-Look, Grandpa, I'm an Indian.
-Me, too.
14
00:02:00,388 --> 00:02:03,056
-You wanna scalp me?
-No, I'm a good Indian.
15
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:04,592
Can I have it now?
16
00:02:04,658 --> 00:02:08,462
You're not an Indian,
you're just a dumb old squaw.
17
00:02:08,529 --> 00:02:10,498
Daddy, make Jim-Bob
let me be an Indian.
18
00:02:10,564 --> 00:02:12,500
Jim-Bob, let her be an Indian.
19
00:02:14,001 --> 00:02:16,103
Alright, now, Son, pick that up.
20
00:02:16,170 --> 00:02:18,339
Here, dumb old Indian.
21
00:02:24,878 --> 00:02:26,514
I was an Indian once.
22
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:29,583
So was I. Remember I wouldn't
answer my own name for weeks?
23
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:32,220
Yes, your mother couldn't
get you in for hominy grits...
24
00:02:32,286 --> 00:02:34,922
till she yelled out,
"Sitting Bull, come and get it."
25
00:02:38,259 --> 00:02:40,494
Pa, what happened?
26
00:02:40,561 --> 00:02:43,297
I think I pulled that
back muscle of mine out again.
27
00:02:43,364 --> 00:02:45,233
-You alright?
-Is it hurting you, Pa?
28
00:02:45,299 --> 00:02:48,068
Oh, yeah.
Nothing seems to do much good.
29
00:02:48,135 --> 00:02:51,239
Except our old hot springs.
30
00:02:51,305 --> 00:02:53,607
Feel the need of soaking it,
do you, Pa?
31
00:02:53,674 --> 00:02:55,776
Yes, I do.
32
00:02:55,843 --> 00:02:59,680
It's a long way up. I oughta go
'n see if he gets there alright.
33
00:02:59,747 --> 00:03:02,350
Feel like you
ought to go with him, huh?
34
00:03:02,416 --> 00:03:04,952
If it's alright with you.
35
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:08,556
Alright, you two, we've done
enough today anyway. Go ahead.
36
00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:10,924
-Thank you, John.
-You're welcome, Pa.
37
00:03:10,991 --> 00:03:12,493
We'll be back for dinner.
38
00:03:13,894 --> 00:03:17,565
I think I know my own way,
but thank you, John-Boy.
39
00:03:28,008 --> 00:03:30,478
This is nice, John-Boy.
40
00:03:33,381 --> 00:03:35,483
What day is it, John-Boy?
41
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:38,819
I don't know. Why?
42
00:03:38,886 --> 00:03:41,755
It must be near upon
our golden wedding anniversary.
43
00:03:41,822 --> 00:03:44,658
Your grandma and I were
promising to have a shindig.
44
00:03:44,725 --> 00:03:48,462
She was even going to wear
her old wedding dress.
45
00:03:48,529 --> 00:03:50,564
You mean she can
still get into that thing?
46
00:03:50,631 --> 00:03:54,101
Yes. Esther's got about the same
figure she always has.
47
00:03:54,167 --> 00:03:55,836
A little chestier maybe.
48
00:03:55,903 --> 00:03:57,938
And so am I.
49
00:03:58,005 --> 00:04:01,008
We were counting on having a
fiddler and all our old friends.
50
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:03,577
I don't suppose...
51
00:04:03,644 --> 00:04:06,314
you ever saw me
do the clog, did you?
52
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:08,816
-What's that?
-A sort of a dancing jig.
53
00:04:08,882 --> 00:04:12,353
Everybody stands around,
keeps time to the music.
54
00:04:12,420 --> 00:04:14,522
One time I was
considered the finest clogger
55
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:16,490
in the whole of
Jefferson County.
56
00:04:16,557 --> 00:04:18,459
For our final flourish
at the end
57
00:04:18,526 --> 00:04:21,762
I would jump as high
as two feet in the air.
58
00:04:21,829 --> 00:04:23,897
I don't suppose you're
planning to dance the clog...
59
00:04:23,964 --> 00:04:25,599
at your wedding anniversary,
are you?
60
00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:28,902
-I was hoping to, John-Boy.
-I'm sure you will.
61
00:04:30,404 --> 00:04:32,272
I don't know.
62
00:04:38,346 --> 00:04:39,513
Hello, there.
63
00:04:40,514 --> 00:04:42,750
-Any ladies with you?
-No.
64
00:04:42,816 --> 00:04:46,954
My name's Harmon. Charlie
Harmon. This is Bill Dieter.
65
00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:48,756
You fellows get yourselves lost?
66
00:04:48,822 --> 00:04:52,726
We're doing some work.
Surveying for the county.
67
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:55,729
The county ought to know,
this here is Walton's Mountain.
68
00:04:55,796 --> 00:04:58,265
-It belongs to our family.
-Is that a fact?
69
00:04:58,332 --> 00:05:01,669
I never knew there were hot
springs in this part of country.
70
00:05:01,735 --> 00:05:04,505
This is the only hot spring
around here for miles.
71
00:05:04,572 --> 00:05:07,741
You ever get rheumatism...might
let you come and soak in it.
72
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:10,043
-Fixes you up, does it?
-Grandpa swears by it.
73
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:12,580
And sometimes in it.
74
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:15,516
You know, it doesn't smell
like most mineral water does.
75
00:05:15,583 --> 00:05:17,217
Our water does not smell.
76
00:05:17,284 --> 00:05:18,819
How's it taste?
77
00:05:18,886 --> 00:05:22,356
Go down there where it pours
in the pool, taste it yourself.
78
00:05:22,423 --> 00:05:23,824
Come on.
79
00:05:34,502 --> 00:05:37,438
-Not bad.
-Might physic you a little.
80
00:05:37,505 --> 00:05:40,541
Do you mind if we take
some water back with us?
81
00:05:40,608 --> 00:05:42,810
Go right ahead,
take all the water you want.
82
00:05:44,512 --> 00:05:46,079
Pretty country around here.
83
00:05:46,146 --> 00:05:48,482
The prettiest county
in the whole state of Virginia.
84
00:05:48,549 --> 00:05:51,151
Grandpa's lived here
all his life.
85
00:05:51,218 --> 00:05:52,986
You own the land here, Mr....
86
00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:55,188
Mr. Walton,
Zebulon Tyler Walton.
87
00:05:55,255 --> 00:05:56,724
Nobody can own a mountain...
88
00:05:56,790 --> 00:06:00,060
anymore than he can own
a piece of the sky or the ocean.
89
00:06:00,127 --> 00:06:03,664
Hold it in trust. Live on it,
take your living off of it...
90
00:06:03,731 --> 00:06:05,733
and when you die,
you're buried in it.
91
00:06:05,799 --> 00:06:09,537
I deeded my land some time back
to John and John-Boy here.
92
00:06:09,603 --> 00:06:12,172
Although I expect to live
another half century...
93
00:06:12,239 --> 00:06:14,542
before I kick the bucket.
94
00:06:14,608 --> 00:06:16,744
Well, we'd better
be getting along.
95
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:20,448
-We'll see you all.
-Good day to you all.
96
00:06:20,514 --> 00:06:22,750
They don't look much
like surveyors to me.
97
00:06:22,816 --> 00:06:25,519
Maybe not. But neither did
George Washington
98
00:06:25,586 --> 00:06:27,721
when he surveyed this county.
99
00:06:34,962 --> 00:06:36,997
Come on down,
before you get sunstroke.
100
00:06:37,064 --> 00:06:39,667
I've got some
nice cold lemonade here.
101
00:06:45,506 --> 00:06:48,075
-What a scorcher.
-Did you find the leak?
102
00:06:48,141 --> 00:06:51,144
I hope so. We won't know
until the next hard rain.
103
00:06:53,581 --> 00:06:56,316
Of course,
the whole roof needs fixing.
104
00:06:56,383 --> 00:06:59,419
But then, the whole house needs
painting. It's always something.
105
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:14,535
Good day.
106
00:07:14,602 --> 00:07:16,904
It's a good day
if you like it hot.
107
00:07:16,970 --> 00:07:19,172
This is nothing like
it's been over in Richmond.
108
00:07:19,239 --> 00:07:22,175
-My name is Harmon.
-Mr. Harmon, I'm John Walton.
109
00:07:22,242 --> 00:07:24,945
This is my wife, Mrs. Walton
and my son Jason.
110
00:07:25,012 --> 00:07:26,980
-Glad to meet you.
-How do you do?
111
00:07:27,047 --> 00:07:29,349
I wonder if I could
talk to you, Mr....
112
00:07:29,416 --> 00:07:31,018
Sure.
113
00:07:31,084 --> 00:07:33,687
-Would you like some lemonade?
-Yes. That would hit the spot.
114
00:07:33,754 --> 00:07:35,255
I'll get another glass.
115
00:07:35,322 --> 00:07:38,158
Why don't you all come up
on the porch in the shade?
116
00:07:38,225 --> 00:07:41,695
-So Richmond's been hot?
-You wouldn't believe it.
117
00:07:41,762 --> 00:07:43,764
-Have a seat.
-Thank you.
118
00:07:45,633 --> 00:07:48,869
This is sure
a nice setup you have here.
119
00:07:48,936 --> 00:07:52,773
There may be nicer places,
I just haven't found them.
120
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,575
I know what you mean. You
know...
121
00:07:54,642 --> 00:07:56,977
I've been kinda
thinking about retiring,
122
00:07:57,044 --> 00:07:58,846
stepping off
the old treadmill and....
123
00:07:58,912 --> 00:08:01,248
Well, I like these mountains.
124
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:03,717
You won't get any argument
from me about that.
125
00:08:05,018 --> 00:08:07,154
-Here you go, Mr. Harmon.
-Thank you, ma'am.
126
00:08:09,557 --> 00:08:11,525
You know, I was just
telling your husband...
127
00:08:11,592 --> 00:08:13,727
I was sort of thinking
of retiring...
128
00:08:13,794 --> 00:08:16,396
and how much I like it
up here, the mountain
129
00:08:16,463 --> 00:08:18,165
the quiet, the view...
130
00:08:19,533 --> 00:08:21,935
the tang in the air.
131
00:08:22,002 --> 00:08:23,303
We love it.
132
00:08:23,370 --> 00:08:25,639
Of course, we've never
really been any place else.
133
00:08:28,809 --> 00:08:32,412
Would you folks
consider selling out?
134
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:34,081
Selling?
135
00:08:34,147 --> 00:08:38,085
I'll give you $5,000.
Lock, stock and barrel.
136
00:08:41,989 --> 00:08:45,593
Mr. Harmon,
this here is our family home.
137
00:08:45,659 --> 00:08:47,060
I realize that...
138
00:08:47,127 --> 00:08:50,197
but lots of folks
need cash these days...
139
00:08:50,263 --> 00:08:52,900
and lots of folks
sell their homes.
140
00:08:52,966 --> 00:08:56,003
We needed cash plenty of times
and we never thought of selling.
141
00:08:56,069 --> 00:08:59,039
Not that I couldn't
use the $5,000...
142
00:08:59,106 --> 00:09:02,643
but I wouldn't sell
Walton's Mountain for $100,000.
143
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:05,813
Not that I know
what $100,000 looks like.
144
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,181
Hello. Mr. Harmon, isn't it?
I thought I heard you.
145
00:09:08,248 --> 00:09:10,183
-Hi, how are you?
-Fine, thank you.
146
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:11,852
You two know each other?
147
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:14,722
We met up at the hot springs
the other day with Grandpa.
148
00:09:14,788 --> 00:09:16,624
I was telling your folks here...
149
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:18,626
that I'm sort of
thinking of retiring...
150
00:09:18,692 --> 00:09:20,961
taking it easy from here on out.
151
00:09:21,028 --> 00:09:25,332
I thought you were doing a job
of surveying for the county.
152
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:29,837
I was just doing a couple
of last favors for the county.
153
00:09:29,903 --> 00:09:32,840
Did George Washington
make any mistakes?
154
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:34,474
George Washington?
155
00:09:34,541 --> 00:09:37,778
He was the first man to survey
this part of the country.
156
00:09:37,845 --> 00:09:41,581
Oh, yeah. No,
his records are alright.
157
00:09:41,649 --> 00:09:44,517
For their time.
But times change.
158
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,721
Mr. Harmon here would like
to see if we'll sell out.
159
00:09:49,489 --> 00:09:51,992
Did you tell him
he's come to the wrong place?
160
00:09:54,527 --> 00:09:57,164
Mr. Walton, I'll tell you...
161
00:09:57,230 --> 00:09:59,032
I might be willing to...
162
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:03,937
up my offer a notch or two.
You see, my wife has asthma.
163
00:10:04,004 --> 00:10:07,040
And I think this air around here
would be good for her.
164
00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:10,043
Mr. Walton...
165
00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:13,413
...what would you
consider a fair price?
166
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,349
-How about a million dollars?
-Now, John-Boy.
167
00:10:16,416 --> 00:10:18,852
Mr. Harmon, here is
making a fair business offer.
168
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:21,388
You're not seriously
considering it, are you?
169
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:23,490
It is a fair offer.
170
00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:26,727
But, no, I'm not....
I wouldn't consider selling.
171
00:10:26,794 --> 00:10:29,529
Come on, Mr. Walton,
every man has his price.
172
00:10:29,596 --> 00:10:33,867
It just depends on how bad
he needs the money at the time.
173
00:10:33,934 --> 00:10:36,737
You may be right
about that, but....
174
00:10:36,804 --> 00:10:38,071
No, I wouldn't sell.
175
00:10:38,138 --> 00:10:40,273
Well, if you change your mind...
176
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:44,812
here's a card with phone number
and my address over in Richmond.
177
00:10:44,878 --> 00:10:47,881
-Be sure and call me, will you?
-Alright.
178
00:10:57,224 --> 00:10:59,793
Now, what do you
think about that?
179
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:02,896
I think it's ridiculous.
180
00:11:02,963 --> 00:11:05,198
And you made your feelings
clear, didn't you, Son?
181
00:11:05,265 --> 00:11:07,267
I hope so.
182
00:11:07,334 --> 00:11:09,837
Hearing that man talk
made me look at this place
183
00:11:09,903 --> 00:11:12,806
as if I'd never
seen it before.
184
00:11:12,873 --> 00:11:14,842
Why don't we do
something different tonight?
185
00:11:14,908 --> 00:11:16,643
Let's have supper outside,
have a picnic.
186
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:19,713
That's a great idea. Is there
anything I can do to help?
187
00:11:19,780 --> 00:11:21,715
-There's always something.
-Good.
188
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:31,859
Here we go.
189
00:11:31,925 --> 00:11:33,593
Sure is pretty up here.
190
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:36,396
Wasn't that a good idea
of your ma's to have picnic?
191
00:11:36,463 --> 00:11:40,167
Thought it'd be nice
to be out in the open.
192
00:11:40,233 --> 00:11:43,603
Did you mean what you said
about not selling for $100,000?
193
00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:47,307
Your father was trying to make
Mr. Harmon understand something.
194
00:11:47,374 --> 00:11:48,441
That's right.
195
00:11:48,508 --> 00:11:50,744
Come on, children, time to eat.
196
00:11:50,811 --> 00:11:53,046
But if you had $100,000,
just for yourself...
197
00:11:53,113 --> 00:11:55,448
you couldn't spend on anyone
else or you'd lose it...
198
00:11:55,515 --> 00:11:56,950
what'd you do with it?
199
00:11:57,017 --> 00:11:59,753
-I wouldn't know where to begin.
-Where to begin where?
200
00:11:59,820 --> 00:12:03,590
We're playing a game, as to what
we'd do if we suddenly got rich.
201
00:12:03,656 --> 00:12:05,492
I'd buy candy.
202
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:07,761
John-Boy, come over
and have something to eat.
203
00:12:07,828 --> 00:12:09,462
I'll be there.
204
00:12:09,529 --> 00:12:11,899
Pretend, Mama, what would
you do with the money?
205
00:12:11,965 --> 00:12:14,734
Alright, let's see.
206
00:12:14,802 --> 00:12:18,171
First, I'd buy me a new dress
for the golden anniversary.
207
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:22,009
-Then, I'd buy some curtains.
-What else, Mama?
208
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:25,245
There'd be enough left to go see
my sister, Frances, in Esmont.
209
00:12:25,312 --> 00:12:27,547
I know what I'd do,
I'd buy a car...
210
00:12:27,614 --> 00:12:30,350
the kind that rich people have,
have somebody drive me around.
211
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:32,685
I'd go to friends' houses
and give them rides.
212
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:35,288
What would you do, Daddy?
213
00:12:35,355 --> 00:12:38,358
I'd buy Elizabeth a new tooth
for the front of her mouth.
214
00:12:38,425 --> 00:12:40,360
Seriously, Daddy,
what would you do?
215
00:12:40,427 --> 00:12:42,095
I'd shingle the roof,
paint the house...
216
00:12:42,162 --> 00:12:43,663
fix up the sawmill...
217
00:12:43,730 --> 00:12:47,034
pay some of the debts
and put the rest in the bank.
218
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,337
I'd like to get me a new rocker
with a good back-rest.
219
00:12:50,403 --> 00:12:52,772
What about you, Grandma,
what would you like?
220
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,942
I don't know.
221
00:12:55,008 --> 00:12:57,677
I'd like to be
two inches taller.
222
00:12:57,744 --> 00:12:59,346
I don't need nothing.
223
00:12:59,412 --> 00:13:02,715
You've got that money, Grandma.
You gotta spend it on something.
224
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:06,253
Is there some kind of a clock
that can turn back 20 years?
225
00:13:06,319 --> 00:13:09,089
-Then children wouldn't be here.
-Then forget it.
226
00:13:09,156 --> 00:13:11,058
I'd go to New York City
and study music.
227
00:13:11,124 --> 00:13:12,625
What'd you like, Ben?
228
00:13:12,692 --> 00:13:15,896
I'd buy an airplane, fly to New
York to see Yankees play.
229
00:13:15,963 --> 00:13:18,198
-I know what Mary Ellen'd like.
-Shut your yap.
230
00:13:18,265 --> 00:13:20,267
She'd go to Hollywood
to see Gary Cooper.
231
00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:22,302
That's not a bad idea.
I'd like that.
232
00:13:22,369 --> 00:13:25,338
We haven't asked Jim-Bob. What'd
you do if you had $100,000?
233
00:13:25,405 --> 00:13:29,142
I've never had $100,000.
How many zeros is it?
234
00:13:29,209 --> 00:13:32,779
A person shouldn't have more
than they know what to do with.
235
00:13:32,846 --> 00:13:38,018
I believe a body should earn his
living by the sweat of his brow.
236
00:13:38,085 --> 00:13:39,652
I don't know, Pa.
237
00:13:39,719 --> 00:13:43,523
There are times when I could use
a little less sweat on my brow.
238
00:13:59,506 --> 00:14:01,741
What is Grandpa up to?
239
00:14:01,808 --> 00:14:05,045
The old man is set on doing
the clog at our anniversary...
240
00:14:05,112 --> 00:14:08,381
just like he did at the wedding.
241
00:14:08,448 --> 00:14:11,051
Guess it's no more
outlandish than...
242
00:14:11,118 --> 00:14:14,121
...me wanting to wear
my wedding dress.
243
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:18,892
-Look at that. Moths.
-We can patch it.
244
00:14:22,195 --> 00:14:24,397
Sound like little birds,
don't they?
245
00:14:27,234 --> 00:14:29,636
Guess one of them
fell out of the nest.
246
00:14:41,081 --> 00:14:44,217
Mrs. Walton.
Is Mr. Walton around?
247
00:14:44,284 --> 00:14:46,653
I'm sorry,
he left about an hour ago.
248
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:49,089
He's trying to catch
some fish for dinner.
249
00:14:49,156 --> 00:14:53,193
Do you think I could locate him?
250
00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:56,964
Go past the Baptist church,
past Drusilla Pond...
251
00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:59,632
then you'll see Rockfish River
and that's where John'll be.
252
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:01,434
Fine, thank you.
253
00:15:11,578 --> 00:15:15,148
Yancy, what would you do
if you had yourself $100,000?
254
00:15:17,784 --> 00:15:22,422
-Stock this stream with fish.
-Hello there.
255
00:15:22,489 --> 00:15:25,192
Hello, Mr. Harmon.
256
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:28,128
-My friend, Yancy Tucker.
-Hi, how do you do?
257
00:15:28,195 --> 00:15:29,662
How's the fishing?
258
00:15:29,729 --> 00:15:32,099
It's not bad. Picked up a few.
259
00:15:32,165 --> 00:15:35,102
That's a mighty
nice string I'd say.
260
00:15:35,168 --> 00:15:37,370
You should've seen
the ones that got away.
261
00:15:37,437 --> 00:15:41,574
Mr. Walton, I was wondering if
you and me could talk someplace.
262
00:15:43,210 --> 00:15:45,412
Nothing wrong
with talking right here.
263
00:15:45,478 --> 00:15:48,215
I told you, Mr. Harmon,
I'm not about to sell out.
264
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:51,618
Mr. Harmon here wants me
to sell Walton's Mountain.
265
00:15:51,684 --> 00:15:53,586
Fat chance of that.
266
00:15:53,653 --> 00:15:55,688
I wouldn't be too sure.
267
00:15:55,755 --> 00:15:58,958
You see, Mr. Walton...
268
00:15:59,026 --> 00:16:02,529
I wasn't exactly on the up
and up with you the other day.
269
00:16:02,595 --> 00:16:05,765
How's that?
270
00:16:05,832 --> 00:16:09,436
As a matter of fact,
I represent a corporation...
271
00:16:09,502 --> 00:16:13,840
they're interested in putting up
a health resort around here.
272
00:16:13,906 --> 00:16:15,608
You know, like Warm Springs.
273
00:16:15,675 --> 00:16:19,579
Ever since FDR's been visiting,
that's become a big thing.
274
00:16:19,646 --> 00:16:22,049
Of course,
that's way over in Georgia.
275
00:16:22,115 --> 00:16:27,287
And my people, well, they want
to invest here in Virginia.
276
00:16:27,354 --> 00:16:30,457
I don't know why you
didn't say that, Mr. Harmon.
277
00:16:30,523 --> 00:16:34,094
But, no matter,
I'm not about to sell out.
278
00:16:35,562 --> 00:16:39,366
The spring water was analyzed,
and they liked what they found.
279
00:16:39,432 --> 00:16:42,269
That, and all this beautiful
mountain scenery...
280
00:16:43,636 --> 00:16:47,274
it could be
a mighty important setup.
281
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,742
As a matter of fact...
282
00:16:49,809 --> 00:16:55,182
they've authorized me to up my
original offer...considerably.
283
00:16:58,218 --> 00:17:00,720
No, I'm not gonna
sell at any price.
284
00:17:03,490 --> 00:17:06,893
Just out of curiosity, though...
285
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:08,595
what is the offer?
286
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:11,331
$25,000?
287
00:17:11,398 --> 00:17:14,701
That's the way I felt
when he said it to me.
288
00:17:14,767 --> 00:17:18,004
-It takes my breath away.
-What do you think?
289
00:17:18,071 --> 00:17:20,006
I'm stunned.
290
00:17:20,073 --> 00:17:22,875
We could keep the house,
of course...
291
00:17:22,942 --> 00:17:26,079
the barn, the sawmill.
292
00:17:26,146 --> 00:17:28,281
There would be
a road over there.
293
00:17:28,348 --> 00:17:31,551
Without timber from mountain,
what good is a sawmill?
294
00:17:31,618 --> 00:17:35,488
I never thought about
selling the mountain before.
295
00:17:35,555 --> 00:17:38,191
Now you are thinking of it?
296
00:17:38,258 --> 00:17:40,460
It would certainly solve
a lot of problems, Liv.
297
00:17:40,527 --> 00:17:43,630
We've had plenty of problems
before and always solved them.
298
00:17:43,696 --> 00:17:48,868
We put that $25,000 in the bank
at 4% interest....
299
00:17:48,935 --> 00:17:50,903
That's $1,000 a year.
300
00:17:50,970 --> 00:17:54,341
I could pick up a few extra
jobs. We could live like kings.
301
00:17:55,942 --> 00:17:59,679
From what I hear,
kings have their problems, too.
302
00:17:59,746 --> 00:18:02,882
At least they can pay
their taxes when they're due.
303
00:18:02,949 --> 00:18:04,484
I don't know, John.
304
00:18:04,551 --> 00:18:07,754
When does that man
need an answer?
305
00:18:07,820 --> 00:18:09,189
Day after tomorrow.
306
00:18:29,542 --> 00:18:31,744
Is this everything
you'd be needing, Mrs. Brimmer?
307
00:18:31,811 --> 00:18:33,513
I think so, Mr. Godsey.
308
00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:36,216
I don't want you to forget.
You'd have to come here.
309
00:18:36,283 --> 00:18:39,952
Hey, John-Boy.
310
00:18:40,019 --> 00:18:41,288
What can I do for you?
311
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:44,291
I want the mail and some
silk thread for my mama.
312
00:18:44,357 --> 00:18:46,926
-Silk?
-For Grandma's wedding dress.
313
00:18:46,993 --> 00:18:49,796
Is your grandma
thinking of getting married?
314
00:18:49,862 --> 00:18:52,965
No. She's getting ready for her
golden wedding anniversary.
315
00:18:53,032 --> 00:18:55,868
Fifty years.
That's hard to believe.
316
00:18:55,935 --> 00:18:59,172
Esther Walton and I
were girls together.
317
00:18:59,239 --> 00:19:02,742
But at her age, changing her way
of life isn't going to be easy.
318
00:19:02,809 --> 00:19:07,180
-What do you mean?
-I heard you are selling out.
319
00:19:07,247 --> 00:19:09,449
You got some
misinformation somewhere.
320
00:19:09,516 --> 00:19:12,319
I heard the same thing,
John-Boy.
321
00:19:12,385 --> 00:19:14,521
Where'd you hear that?
322
00:19:14,587 --> 00:19:17,590
Well, I happened to run
into Miss Emily Baldwin...
323
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:20,927
who heard it from Ep Bridges
who got it from Yancy Tucker.
324
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:26,933
He said your papa had been
offered $40,000 for your place.
325
00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:31,304
Sounds like Yancy Tucker got
closer to Miss Emily's Recipe.
326
00:19:31,371 --> 00:19:33,473
She was very definite
when she was telling me.
327
00:19:33,540 --> 00:19:35,074
No offense, ma'am...
328
00:19:35,141 --> 00:19:38,545
Miss Emily Baldwin is not known
to be definite about anything.
329
00:19:38,611 --> 00:19:41,614
She also claimed that
somebody from out of state...
330
00:19:41,681 --> 00:19:45,952
was figuring on building a big
fancy hotel near the hot spring.
331
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:49,222
Here's the mail, John-Boy,
and the silk thread. That's $10.
332
00:19:51,391 --> 00:19:53,660
If that story is gonna
keep on getting told...
333
00:19:53,726 --> 00:19:55,695
I might as well tell you.
What happened...
334
00:19:55,762 --> 00:19:59,466
was my father told that he
wouldn't sell out for $100,000.
335
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:03,470
-$100,000?
-Yeah, okay?
336
00:20:03,536 --> 00:20:05,472
I'll be seeing you.
337
00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:09,876
$100,000.
338
00:20:09,942 --> 00:20:12,912
Show me $100,000
and I'll buy the whole county.
339
00:20:17,584 --> 00:20:20,820
-Hey, Daddy.
-John-Boy, I'm glad you're back.
340
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:23,423
There's something
I want to talk to you about.
341
00:20:23,490 --> 00:20:25,258
I was down at the store.
342
00:20:25,325 --> 00:20:27,860
You wouldn't believe the story
that's going on down there.
343
00:20:27,927 --> 00:20:30,196
Yancy's telling everyone
we're selling out.
344
00:20:30,263 --> 00:20:32,965
He says you got offered
$40,000 for the place.
345
00:20:35,635 --> 00:20:39,672
The man didn't offer me $40,000,
John-Boy he offered me $25,000.
346
00:20:46,112 --> 00:20:47,847
Are you considering it?
347
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:52,919
Yes, Son, I am.
348
00:21:08,234 --> 00:21:10,470
I guess I was wrong.
349
00:21:14,641 --> 00:21:18,144
Of course, I realize that...
350
00:21:18,210 --> 00:21:21,481
I have less right to say what
I feel than anyone else here...
351
00:21:21,548 --> 00:21:23,650
as I'm going
to college next year...
352
00:21:23,716 --> 00:21:26,486
and you're gonna have
to do all the work.
353
00:21:26,553 --> 00:21:29,088
Not only me, Jason's gonna be
doing a lot more...
354
00:21:29,155 --> 00:21:32,792
I'm not deciding this based on
how much work needs to be done.
355
00:21:35,127 --> 00:21:38,030
What other reason if it's not
going to make things easier?
356
00:21:38,097 --> 00:21:40,900
Take the pressure off you,
going to college.
357
00:21:40,967 --> 00:21:43,503
It would benefit the other
children as they grow up.
358
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:48,375
You've made up your mind,
haven't you?
359
00:21:52,612 --> 00:21:54,781
Yes, I have, Son.
360
00:22:04,624 --> 00:22:06,759
How do you feel about it?
361
00:22:09,562 --> 00:22:11,864
I don't know what to say.
362
00:22:11,931 --> 00:22:14,233
I'd like to hear
what you have to say.
363
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:15,802
Excuse me.
364
00:22:31,250 --> 00:22:33,453
How about it?
Just five cents a glass.
365
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,788
The price is right.
Maybe on my way back.
366
00:22:44,731 --> 00:22:47,266
That is good news, Mr. Walton.
367
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:50,603
We thought it over and felt
it'd be a sensible thing to do.
368
00:22:50,670 --> 00:22:52,705
Alright, quite right.
369
00:22:52,772 --> 00:22:55,408
There is one point, however,
that has come up, you see...
370
00:22:55,475 --> 00:22:57,744
the interest
that I represent have decided
371
00:22:57,810 --> 00:23:00,513
that they need
the whole property.
372
00:23:00,580 --> 00:23:02,649
Not the house?
373
00:23:02,715 --> 00:23:05,585
The house would be
in plain view of the resort...
374
00:23:05,652 --> 00:23:07,620
and they'd want
to tear down the house
375
00:23:07,687 --> 00:23:09,188
and the barn and all that...
376
00:23:09,255 --> 00:23:14,026
and replace it with a brand-new
parking lot and garage.
377
00:23:15,495 --> 00:23:18,765
Now, that's
a different story, Mr. Harmon.
378
00:23:18,831 --> 00:23:21,333
I realize that, Mr. Walton.
379
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,004
That's why I'm prepared
to offer you...
380
00:23:25,071 --> 00:23:26,706
$30,000.
381
00:23:29,108 --> 00:23:31,343
John, I hadn't
planned on moving.
382
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:33,646
I'm not finished yet,
Mrs. Walton.
383
00:23:33,713 --> 00:23:37,116
My people would
build you a new house.
384
00:23:37,183 --> 00:23:39,418
In the vicinity
if you want to stay here.
385
00:23:39,486 --> 00:23:43,189
Somewhere out of sight
and sound of the resort.
386
00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:46,392
They'd even move you
into that new house.
387
00:23:46,459 --> 00:23:49,462
There now,
that is certainly fair.
388
00:23:51,363 --> 00:23:54,601
I have a saw-mill out back,
I make my living at it.
389
00:23:56,703 --> 00:24:00,507
I'm sure we could
work out something there.
390
00:24:00,573 --> 00:24:02,842
You know this country
pretty well, don't you?
391
00:24:02,909 --> 00:24:04,611
I do.
392
00:24:04,677 --> 00:24:09,916
We would need a fishing
and hunting guide at $35 a week.
393
00:24:09,982 --> 00:24:12,852
And you could keep
all the gratuities.
394
00:24:20,793 --> 00:24:22,762
You talking about tips?
395
00:24:22,829 --> 00:24:25,832
$5 to $10 a day,
that's standard.
396
00:24:30,236 --> 00:24:32,471
I'm gonna have
to mull this over, Mr. Harmon.
397
00:24:35,207 --> 00:24:37,977
I guess I can give you
24 hours more...
398
00:24:38,044 --> 00:24:40,279
but I would have to have
your decision then...
399
00:24:40,346 --> 00:24:42,214
you see, these people of mine...
400
00:24:42,281 --> 00:24:46,218
they are looking at another
nice site in Albemarle County.
401
00:24:46,285 --> 00:24:49,188
I'll let you know, sir.
402
00:24:49,255 --> 00:24:51,457
It's nice to have
seen you all again.
403
00:24:51,524 --> 00:24:53,492
I'll show you
to the door, Mr. Harmon.
404
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,994
Thank you.
405
00:25:22,622 --> 00:25:25,224
Thinking of fencing
this place in, Pa.
406
00:25:25,291 --> 00:25:29,829
Yeah. I'd favor a good
split-rail fence myself.
407
00:25:29,896 --> 00:25:32,899
It'd be kind of comforting
to know when you have to go...
408
00:25:32,965 --> 00:25:37,169
that there's a split-rail fence
around you under an oak tree.
409
00:25:37,236 --> 00:25:40,940
We're not going anywhere
for a long time, Pa.
410
00:25:41,007 --> 00:25:42,809
Are Indians buried here,
Grandpa?
411
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:45,544
No Indians up here,
just Waltons.
412
00:25:45,612 --> 00:25:49,015
There are a lot of arrowheads
in the newly planted fields.
413
00:25:49,081 --> 00:25:52,551
-Was there a fight?
-This is fought-for land.
414
00:25:52,619 --> 00:25:55,121
Been more than one kind
of battle around here, though.
415
00:25:55,187 --> 00:25:59,025
Fire, flood, fever,
diphtheria, whooping cough...
416
00:25:59,091 --> 00:26:02,528
loneliness, the Depression...
417
00:26:02,595 --> 00:26:06,098
hard times. Now this.
418
00:26:06,165 --> 00:26:09,802
But we Waltons,
endured on this land.
419
00:26:09,869 --> 00:26:13,606
We owe something to the Waltons
that are buried up here.
420
00:26:18,678 --> 00:26:21,681
Pa, I came up here
to have a little talk with you.
421
00:26:27,954 --> 00:26:29,989
You and Ma can rest easy.
422
00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:35,594
I was thinking
about selling this...
423
00:26:35,662 --> 00:26:37,596
but when they
wanted the house....
424
00:26:39,632 --> 00:26:42,001
I just can't swallow that.
425
00:26:42,068 --> 00:26:45,137
Your Ma and I
have talked things over.
426
00:26:45,204 --> 00:26:47,306
We've agreed
that you leave us out of it.
427
00:26:47,373 --> 00:26:50,276
You've got to make
your own decision.
428
00:26:50,342 --> 00:26:52,845
I have made the decision,
I'm not going to sell.
429
00:26:52,912 --> 00:26:56,315
Then you can change your mind.
430
00:26:56,382 --> 00:26:58,550
I'm not gonna uproot you and Ma.
431
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:00,753
You've got no choice, John.
432
00:27:00,820 --> 00:27:03,790
I've got a choice,
I said I'm not gonna sell.
433
00:27:03,856 --> 00:27:05,191
Listen, John.
434
00:27:05,257 --> 00:27:09,095
You're carrying 11 people
on your shoulders.
435
00:27:09,161 --> 00:27:12,598
That's not easy
in time of depression.
436
00:27:12,665 --> 00:27:15,567
Anyone would say, this is
a chance of your lifetime...
437
00:27:15,634 --> 00:27:17,336
so get hold of it.
438
00:27:17,403 --> 00:27:20,940
They'd say this is a gold ring
on the merry-go-round, grab it.
439
00:27:22,408 --> 00:27:23,943
Pa, I can't do it.
440
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:26,913
You'd be a fool, thought I
taught you better than that.
441
00:27:26,979 --> 00:27:29,315
You taught to have
respect for you and Ma
442
00:27:29,381 --> 00:27:30,850
not to ruin your lives.
443
00:27:32,752 --> 00:27:35,221
I thought you'd
help me decide what to do.
444
00:27:35,287 --> 00:27:38,557
I'm doing the best I can
to tell you.
445
00:27:38,624 --> 00:27:42,461
-Feel worse than when I came.
-You sound just like John-Boy.
446
00:27:42,528 --> 00:27:46,065
I hope I give John-Boy
better advice than you give me.
447
00:27:46,132 --> 00:27:49,368
Son, your Ma and I
have lived a long life.
448
00:27:49,435 --> 00:27:51,303
The best of it's behind us.
449
00:27:51,370 --> 00:27:53,305
It's time to give over
to the young'uns.
450
00:27:53,372 --> 00:27:54,640
You got seven children.
451
00:27:54,707 --> 00:27:58,210
You've got to give the best
there is to offer in this land.
452
00:27:59,846 --> 00:28:01,380
Pa, I'd just--
453
00:28:01,447 --> 00:28:05,184
I thought I told you never
to talk back to an older man.
454
00:28:09,455 --> 00:28:10,422
Yes, sir.
455
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:12,759
Alright.
456
00:28:12,825 --> 00:28:14,360
Let's go home.
457
00:28:15,895 --> 00:28:17,797
Elizabeth.
458
00:28:44,656 --> 00:28:45,958
Hi, Daddy!
459
00:28:47,659 --> 00:28:50,429
-Hi, Reckless.
-Hi, Daddy!
460
00:28:50,496 --> 00:28:52,231
Hi.
461
00:28:52,298 --> 00:28:54,266
Come on, Jim-Bob.
462
00:29:05,244 --> 00:29:07,880
We should have another one
of those hayrides.
463
00:29:07,947 --> 00:29:11,083
-Remember last year?
-Whipping down the road.
464
00:29:11,150 --> 00:29:14,286
-Mary Ellen fell off the wagon.
-That was funny.
465
00:29:16,288 --> 00:29:17,456
Hey, Ben!
466
00:29:23,029 --> 00:29:24,263
That's beautiful.
467
00:29:25,464 --> 00:29:27,499
Sure is.
468
00:29:27,566 --> 00:29:30,136
What's going to happen
to animals like that?
469
00:29:32,171 --> 00:29:35,207
-They'll have to go some place.
-Why?
470
00:29:36,943 --> 00:29:39,245
The stream is
fed by the hot spring
471
00:29:39,311 --> 00:29:41,447
I guess the stream
will be dried up.
472
00:29:41,513 --> 00:29:44,116
But the spring will
still be here, won't it?
473
00:29:44,183 --> 00:29:46,185
Yeah, the spring
will be there...
474
00:29:46,252 --> 00:29:48,988
but they're gonna divert it
to make pools for the guests.
475
00:29:49,055 --> 00:29:52,324
What that doesn't use up,
I guess they'll bottle and sell.
476
00:29:52,391 --> 00:29:55,261
-Never thought it could happen.
-I know.
477
00:30:01,233 --> 00:30:04,770
Are we gonna be able to keep
the chickens, cow and Blue...
478
00:30:04,837 --> 00:30:08,007
and all the rest of them?
479
00:30:08,074 --> 00:30:10,342
I don't know, Ben.
480
00:30:13,312 --> 00:30:16,282
-Listen, you go on home, okay?
-Where are you going?
481
00:30:16,348 --> 00:30:19,651
Thought I'd go up
to the old chimney for a while.
482
00:30:19,718 --> 00:30:22,154
Why?
483
00:30:22,221 --> 00:30:25,824
Once I go to college, it's not
gonna be so handy for one thing.
484
00:30:27,426 --> 00:30:30,296
It's sure going to seem
funny when you're gone.
485
00:30:32,999 --> 00:30:35,067
-I'll see you later.
-See you later.
486
00:30:52,518 --> 00:30:54,420
Missy...
487
00:30:54,486 --> 00:30:58,090
your hands are a lot better
than any danged old hot spring.
488
00:31:01,793 --> 00:31:06,232
-Almost 50 years, Zebulon.
-Wouldn't miss one minute of it.
489
00:31:10,802 --> 00:31:13,605
Remember the day we first came
up here to this place, Esther?
490
00:31:15,007 --> 00:31:17,209
Shouldn't remember such things.
491
00:31:17,276 --> 00:31:19,445
Why not? We was married,
wasn't we?
492
00:31:23,749 --> 00:31:26,185
Then there was the day
I came running here...
493
00:31:26,252 --> 00:31:28,554
when I found out
I was in the family way.
494
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:32,158
Scared as a cottontail.
495
00:31:32,224 --> 00:31:35,194
Then you found me
and everything was alright.
496
00:31:35,261 --> 00:31:38,097
I was scared, too, Esther.
497
00:31:38,164 --> 00:31:40,132
You were such
a tiny little thing
498
00:31:40,199 --> 00:31:42,168
all I wanted to do
was protect you.
499
00:31:42,234 --> 00:31:44,770
Give you the moon
and all the trimmings.
500
00:31:44,836 --> 00:31:49,541
All I've been able to give you
is a piece of this good earth...
501
00:31:49,608 --> 00:31:52,278
and one another.
502
00:31:52,344 --> 00:31:55,747
Guess that's about all
anyone's meant to have.
503
00:31:55,814 --> 00:31:58,050
The best there is anyway.
504
00:31:59,485 --> 00:32:02,288
Young people don't know
what's important.
505
00:32:02,354 --> 00:32:05,524
Memories are important. They
can't take them away from you.
506
00:32:05,591 --> 00:32:07,626
We've had us some good times,
haven't we, Esther?
507
00:32:09,561 --> 00:32:12,398
I had some good times
you didn't know anything about.
508
00:32:12,464 --> 00:32:14,967
What's that?
509
00:32:15,034 --> 00:32:19,238
Being home alone making a cake
for you. Humming all the time.
510
00:32:19,305 --> 00:32:22,975
Sweeping the floor, cleaning up,
watching the kids grow.
511
00:32:25,844 --> 00:32:29,681
You remember the time when
there was just the two of us.
512
00:32:29,748 --> 00:32:33,252
We took a horse and buggy
and drove to Goochland County...
513
00:32:33,319 --> 00:32:35,287
to visit my brother, Ben?
514
00:32:35,354 --> 00:32:39,058
I remember the axle
on the buggy wheel broke.
515
00:32:39,125 --> 00:32:41,360
That gave us a good excuse
to stay awhile...
516
00:32:41,427 --> 00:32:45,297
and visit all the cousins,
uncles and aunts and in-laws.
517
00:32:45,364 --> 00:32:49,401
I'd sure like to go back
to Goochland County again.
518
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:53,505
All I wanted to do
was to get back to my own home.
519
00:32:53,572 --> 00:32:56,508
Never could get used to
sleeping on strange sheets.
520
00:32:59,778 --> 00:33:02,481
-What are you laughing at?
-I was just thinking, Esther.
521
00:33:03,782 --> 00:33:05,617
We are going to be rich.
522
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:09,655
But we have been richer,
haven't we?
523
00:33:12,458 --> 00:33:15,961
Did I ever tell you what that
pesky Kathleen Carter told me...
524
00:33:16,028 --> 00:33:19,231
-when we were little?
-Probably, you can tell again.
525
00:33:19,298 --> 00:33:22,234
She says, "I'm an loneliest
child, and I'm immensely rich...
526
00:33:22,301 --> 00:33:25,271
"and I can spit on walls."
527
00:33:25,337 --> 00:33:29,441
Esther, are you going to spit on
the walls of our new house?
528
00:33:31,143 --> 00:33:33,312
I just might.
529
00:33:34,380 --> 00:33:36,782
-Let's go home, Zebulon.
-Yeah, alright.
530
00:33:40,286 --> 00:33:43,089
No, not.... Now, stop it.
Not with that back.
531
00:34:09,881 --> 00:34:12,884
When you're old, you'll take
comfort knowing the mountain...
532
00:34:12,951 --> 00:34:16,155
will endure long after
you and I have turned to dust.
533
00:34:16,222 --> 00:34:18,324
The seasons will come and go.
534
00:34:18,390 --> 00:34:21,693
Snows fall, the land sleeps...
535
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,398
the violets bloom and the green
leaves of spring come again.
536
00:34:26,465 --> 00:34:30,536
They grow for a summer, turn all
their colors, then snow again.
537
00:34:30,602 --> 00:34:34,173
Keeps on like that.
It's the way of things.
538
00:34:54,460 --> 00:34:56,395
You found this cave, too.
539
00:34:59,298 --> 00:35:01,233
You knew about it?
540
00:35:02,434 --> 00:35:05,003
I found it when I was about 13.
541
00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:08,740
-And I thought I discovered it.
-So did I.
542
00:35:08,807 --> 00:35:12,844
-Why didn't you tell anybody?
-Why didn't you tell anybody?
543
00:35:12,911 --> 00:35:15,947
I don't know. I guess,
I'd like to think it was mine.
544
00:35:16,014 --> 00:35:19,485
I could come up here all by
myself and play my harmonica.
545
00:35:19,551 --> 00:35:22,053
It sounded the way
I wanted it to sound.
546
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,522
I know.
547
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:28,494
I wanna show you something.
548
00:35:32,764 --> 00:35:35,267
Here, look at this.
549
00:35:35,334 --> 00:35:38,337
John Walton. Jr. Author.
550
00:35:38,404 --> 00:35:40,306
You knew you wanted
to be a writer then?
551
00:35:40,372 --> 00:35:42,007
Sure, I did.
552
00:35:42,073 --> 00:35:45,143
If I'd told anyone then, they
just would've laughed at me.
553
00:35:46,878 --> 00:35:48,814
I know just what you mean.
554
00:35:50,516 --> 00:35:53,519
Here was where I got the courage
to start writing my notebooks.
555
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,355
I even had a secretary.
556
00:35:56,422 --> 00:35:58,524
-Secretary?
-Sure. Here she is, right here.
557
00:36:00,359 --> 00:36:02,027
She's a good secretary.
558
00:36:02,093 --> 00:36:05,497
I used to dictate to her, she'd
listen, wouldn't interrupt me.
559
00:36:05,564 --> 00:36:08,834
Also, she wouldn't tell that I
was never gonna be good at it.
560
00:36:12,238 --> 00:36:15,607
You know, I've played
some music here...
561
00:36:15,674 --> 00:36:17,709
that I would never
have played anywhere else.
562
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:22,848
We don't have to tell anybody
else about the cave, do we?
563
00:36:22,914 --> 00:36:24,450
No.
564
00:36:24,516 --> 00:36:26,752
But there's somebody else
who already knows about it.
565
00:36:26,818 --> 00:36:29,221
-There is?
-Yeah. Come here, I'll show you.
566
00:36:31,823 --> 00:36:34,393
Haven't you
ever seen this before?
567
00:36:39,398 --> 00:36:40,899
-Grandpa?
-Yeah.
568
00:36:42,067 --> 00:36:43,802
1875, let's see.
569
00:36:45,871 --> 00:36:48,740
He must have been 13
when he found this place, too.
570
00:36:54,746 --> 00:36:58,550
What do you think will happen to
the cave if they put up a hotel?
571
00:37:00,886 --> 00:37:03,622
I don't know.
They might seal it up.
572
00:37:06,725 --> 00:37:09,495
Maybe they could fence it off
and charge to go through.
573
00:37:09,561 --> 00:37:12,631
Daddy can be a guide, I guess.
574
00:37:18,003 --> 00:37:21,507
Can you see our daddy
taking tips from tourists?
575
00:38:08,387 --> 00:38:10,522
Don't look like that, John.
576
00:38:11,390 --> 00:38:13,525
Can't help the way I look.
577
00:38:15,327 --> 00:38:18,497
I guess we'll just
have to get used to it.
578
00:38:18,564 --> 00:38:21,833
It'll make a difference, you
know. All that money coming in.
579
00:38:23,702 --> 00:38:25,737
Maybe it'll give me
a new slant on life.
580
00:38:25,804 --> 00:38:28,907
I ever complain
about the old slant?
581
00:38:28,974 --> 00:38:31,777
Liv, I hate the idea
of leaving this old house.
582
00:38:34,012 --> 00:38:37,048
So do I.
583
00:38:37,115 --> 00:38:40,018
Maybe we'll never have another
chance to make this money.
584
00:38:40,085 --> 00:38:42,588
Money's never been
that important here.
585
00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:44,890
We've been
skimping and saving,
586
00:38:44,956 --> 00:38:47,993
making-do and doing
without for years.
587
00:38:48,059 --> 00:38:52,063
Kids wearing half-soled shoes,
hand-me-down clothes.
588
00:38:52,130 --> 00:38:55,166
You ever hear them complain?
589
00:38:55,233 --> 00:38:57,302
There's you.
590
00:38:57,369 --> 00:38:59,638
Lot of things
I'd like to do for you.
591
00:39:02,608 --> 00:39:04,743
If it weren't
for this damned Depression.
592
00:39:04,810 --> 00:39:07,345
Now don't go
blaming yourself for that.
593
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:15,921
Liv, I just don't know if I can
take tips and things like that.
594
00:39:17,956 --> 00:39:20,826
I'm worried about Grandma
and Grandpa.
595
00:39:20,892 --> 00:39:23,429
It's awful late to shake 'em up
with such a move.
596
00:39:23,495 --> 00:39:26,732
He's been shaken up before.
597
00:39:26,798 --> 00:39:29,100
I know, but he likes
to feel he's helping out.
598
00:39:29,167 --> 00:39:31,136
He does help out,
more than he should.
599
00:39:31,202 --> 00:39:34,039
It's about time
he was forced to take it easy.
600
00:39:34,105 --> 00:39:36,608
Nobody's ever been able to
force Grandpa to do anything.
601
00:39:38,810 --> 00:39:39,811
And Ma.
602
00:39:41,847 --> 00:39:44,983
Guess she feels
the same way I do.
603
00:39:45,050 --> 00:39:48,820
You were born in this room,
in this very bed.
604
00:39:52,491 --> 00:39:55,494
And this is where
our children began...
605
00:39:55,561 --> 00:39:57,829
with our love for each other.
606
00:40:01,332 --> 00:40:02,968
Just like a thousand others...
607
00:40:03,034 --> 00:40:06,304
some springs, and a mattress
and not a very good one at that.
608
00:40:06,371 --> 00:40:09,841
Probably have to get a new one,
even if we did stay here.
609
00:40:09,908 --> 00:40:11,943
I read an ad
in the Woman's Home Companion.
610
00:40:12,010 --> 00:40:14,746
"Guaranteed not to soil,
sag, or squeak."
611
00:40:17,182 --> 00:40:19,451
What do you think
we ought to do, Liv?
612
00:40:20,919 --> 00:40:24,723
I think we ought to do
what's best for you.
613
00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:26,892
Because that'll be best for us.
614
00:40:32,631 --> 00:40:35,133
I read in a magazine
that people in New York
615
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,469
move every October 1.
616
00:40:37,536 --> 00:40:39,471
No, they must be crazy.
617
00:40:46,512 --> 00:40:49,114
There's a storm brewing
over the mountain.
618
00:40:49,180 --> 00:40:50,549
Good.
619
00:40:52,117 --> 00:40:53,885
It'll clear the air.
620
00:40:56,021 --> 00:40:58,123
Sure hope I found
that leak in the roof.
621
00:41:00,859 --> 00:41:03,562
You're the only one
lively enough....
622
00:41:10,769 --> 00:41:13,438
That one sounded like it was
near the old chimney, Dad.
623
00:41:13,505 --> 00:41:16,842
That old chimney acts like
a lightning rod, I guess.
624
00:41:16,908 --> 00:41:18,544
Come on, children.
Up to bed now.
625
00:41:18,610 --> 00:41:20,011
Good night, Mom.
626
00:41:20,078 --> 00:41:23,281
Good night, Grandma.
Good night, Daddy.
627
00:41:23,348 --> 00:41:24,983
Now, hold on.
628
00:41:25,050 --> 00:41:27,553
I'd like you all
to come back and sit down.
629
00:41:27,619 --> 00:41:29,655
Something I want to
talk to you about.
630
00:41:33,158 --> 00:41:37,028
So you finally made up your mind
about the new offer, John?
631
00:41:39,230 --> 00:41:44,135
Pa, all of you've been sorely
trying my patience lately.
632
00:41:44,202 --> 00:41:46,437
I've been asking what to do
in this situation...
633
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:49,775
you told me to do what I want
rather than what you want.
634
00:41:49,841 --> 00:41:52,243
Son, you've got
to make the decision.
635
00:41:52,310 --> 00:41:56,615
It's a family matter, Pa. I'd
like it to be a family decision.
636
00:41:56,682 --> 00:41:59,885
Whatever you do,
you know we'll abide by it.
637
00:41:59,951 --> 00:42:02,253
You're not hearing me, Ma,
I need your help.
638
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:03,889
You know how I feel.
639
00:42:03,955 --> 00:42:07,258
I don't know how you feel, Liv.
I don't know how any of you do.
640
00:42:07,325 --> 00:42:10,862
You're not being honest with me.
We'll go around and find out.
641
00:42:10,929 --> 00:42:13,732
Jason, I want you to start.
How do you feel?
642
00:42:13,799 --> 00:42:15,967
There goes the transformer.
643
00:42:16,034 --> 00:42:19,337
-I'll get the lantern.
-Did you get matches?
644
00:42:19,404 --> 00:42:22,273
I'll get it in a second.
I got it.
645
00:42:22,340 --> 00:42:25,476
Yeah, just like the old days.
646
00:42:25,543 --> 00:42:27,813
-Do we have candles in our room?
-No.
647
00:42:27,879 --> 00:42:30,616
There you go, Son.
648
00:42:34,620 --> 00:42:37,055
Now what happened to John-Boy?
649
00:43:05,250 --> 00:43:07,953
John-Boy, I want you
to come back downstairs.
650
00:43:08,019 --> 00:43:12,624
I've got to hear what you have
to say. It's only fair.
651
00:43:15,093 --> 00:43:18,196
That's what I've been thinking
about. What would be fair.
652
00:43:22,367 --> 00:43:25,871
The other day when we had
our talk, you said that...
653
00:43:25,937 --> 00:43:29,007
by selling the place, you wanted
to benefit the children.
654
00:43:30,676 --> 00:43:32,410
That's right.
655
00:43:32,477 --> 00:43:35,113
I don't think you were
really considering these two.
656
00:43:38,149 --> 00:43:40,185
How do you mean?
657
00:43:48,359 --> 00:43:50,729
The rest of us...
658
00:43:50,796 --> 00:43:53,865
the older ones...
659
00:43:53,932 --> 00:43:56,668
I think maybe it wouldn't
be so hard for us.
660
00:43:58,303 --> 00:44:01,372
We've had this place
all our lives.
661
00:44:01,439 --> 00:44:05,744
We have a history here
that's made us what we are.
662
00:44:05,811 --> 00:44:07,746
We have memories
of this place...
663
00:44:07,813 --> 00:44:11,683
that are firmly planted in our
minds we'll never forget them.
664
00:44:15,286 --> 00:44:18,757
Every breath we've ever taken
is somewhere in this house.
665
00:44:23,962 --> 00:44:26,531
Mom, as long as I live,
I'll never forget the smell...
666
00:44:26,597 --> 00:44:29,901
of coffee and bacon drifting
upstairs on a winter morning.
667
00:44:32,103 --> 00:44:35,106
I'll never forget the sound
of your footsteps in hallway.
668
00:44:42,647 --> 00:44:46,184
Daddy, I have a picture in my
mind of you that is so clear.
669
00:44:47,552 --> 00:44:51,022
I can just see you walking
across the meadow...
670
00:44:52,090 --> 00:44:54,125
through a new-crusted snow.
671
00:44:58,930 --> 00:45:02,367
I'll never forget those things.
672
00:45:02,433 --> 00:45:04,669
I've stood under the kitchen
window and I've listened...
673
00:45:04,736 --> 00:45:07,572
to the sounds that this family
makes at dinner time.
674
00:45:07,638 --> 00:45:10,776
Everyone's talking, nobody is
listening to anybody else.
675
00:45:10,842 --> 00:45:13,411
The sound of the talk
is so beautiful
676
00:45:13,478 --> 00:45:15,213
you just oughta put it to music.
677
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,448
The way it drifts out
on the evening air.
678
00:45:23,088 --> 00:45:25,991
It's the sounds of this house
that I'll never forget.
679
00:45:27,558 --> 00:45:29,294
Especially that one moment...
680
00:45:32,363 --> 00:45:34,099
when we're all in bed...
681
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,869
we're all safe...
682
00:45:37,936 --> 00:45:41,506
we're all together
just before we go to sleep.
683
00:45:43,574 --> 00:45:46,277
When we say good night
to each other here.
684
00:45:57,355 --> 00:46:01,793
Daddy, I don't know what kind
of Waltons these two would be...
685
00:46:01,860 --> 00:46:04,762
if they had to
grow up without all that.
686
00:46:04,830 --> 00:46:07,833
I think, really,
the decision is theirs to make.
687
00:46:35,426 --> 00:46:37,528
Let's go to bed.
688
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:13,424
Many years have gone by
since that 50th anniversary.
689
00:48:13,491 --> 00:48:16,327
My grandparents
are no longer alive.
690
00:48:16,394 --> 00:48:20,665
And most of us have moved
to other places in the world.
691
00:48:20,731 --> 00:48:22,567
We go home when we can...
692
00:48:22,633 --> 00:48:26,237
and on those occasions
our spirits are renewed...
693
00:48:26,304 --> 00:48:28,839
by the feelings
that flood back...
694
00:48:28,906 --> 00:48:30,608
the feelings we had as children
695
00:48:30,675 --> 00:48:33,278
growing up
in that wonderful old house...
696
00:48:33,344 --> 00:48:36,514
that stands in the shadow
of Walton's Mountain.
697
00:48:36,581 --> 00:48:38,549
There comes the moon
right where it belongs.
698
00:48:38,616 --> 00:48:40,585
Wonder if Gary Cooper's
looking at it, too.
699
00:48:40,651 --> 00:48:42,320
Probably. He's so romantic.
700
00:48:42,387 --> 00:48:44,389
-Mary Ellen.
-Yes, Elizabeth?
701
00:48:44,455 --> 00:48:46,191
If you're going
to have Gary Cooper
702
00:48:46,257 --> 00:48:47,792
can I have Clark Gable?
703
00:48:47,858 --> 00:48:50,428
-Why do you want Clark Gable?
-I just want his picture.
704
00:48:50,495 --> 00:48:52,163
Thought you
wanted to marry him.
705
00:48:52,230 --> 00:48:53,999
I'm too young to get married.
706
00:48:54,065 --> 00:48:56,167
That's a relief, Elizabeth.
707
00:48:56,234 --> 00:48:58,703
-Good night, you girls.
-Good night, Mama.
