What's wrong? Haven't
you seen a hat before?

Not on you.
Where'd you get it?

-I bought it.
-What for?

Got a new job,
so I got a new hat.

When are we going fishing?

I don't think I ought
to take you fishing today.

You want me
to be a girl, too.

Here, Elizabeth, take them.

I'm not going to be.
You traitor.

Windows are to remain closed
at all times.

When I was young,
the thought of distant

and mysterious cities

would send me daydreaming
for hours.

But cities did
not beckon to my father.

He was content in the woods and
fields of Walton's Mountain

until 1937.

That was the year
that my grandmother became ill,

and my father ventured
away from the mountain

into new and perplexing
experiences.

-We just came from the hospital.
-How is Esther?

She's... She's doing alright.

Any idea what's wrong with her?

I... I was with the doctors
for about an hour this morning.

We can't be sure yet.

Haven't gotten any idea
how soon we can bring her home?

Well, you see, we can't
be absolutely certain

until they make some more tests,
but it may not be that long.

I'll be going back
to the hospital about 4:00

if there's anything you wanna
send her, I can drop it by.

Maybe we better go tell your ma.

Pa, that hospital's gonna need
some money before long.

I know. We got to get
that new mill going.

I just wish the parts
would come home.

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

-Hi.
-Hi.

-Mind if I walk with you?
-Okay.

I'll carry your books.

Hey, Jim-Bob, you
got that wire?

Move it over!
You're sticking it in my eye!

I'm sorry. You get grouchy when
you're working on this thing.

Well, nobody knows
how to do anything.

Hey, Jim-Bob, look at this.
Come here, look at this.

What is it?

Elizabeth's got a boyfriend.

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Your books.

-Thank you.
-That's okay. See you tomorrow?

Sure.

Goodbye, Lucas.

Bye.

Hey, Elizabeth.

Are you in love with Lucas?

When are you getting married?

Lucas Farnham is just
a dumb boy.

Come closer, I wanna see
the love light in your eyes!

* Here comes the bride.. **

I gotta go.
I got some work.

-Thanks for not much help.
-Well, you're welcome.

Now, there you are,
James Robert.

Why don't you stop
whatever you're doing

to that old automobile
and come with me?

-Where to, Grandpa?
-For a walk.

Up the mountain, to look at the
trees we planted last spring.

It's high time we did.
Come on.

I'm working on my car,
and I've got it started,

but I'd like
to stay with it.

Well, considering the amount
of time you're spending

assembling this old automobile,
that's understandable.

Where is everybody?

I don't know.

Why don't you get old Ben?
He's not doing anything.

Ben! Ben! Ben!

Where are you?

-Pencils down!
-Grandpa! What do you mean?

That's what my favorite
teacher always used to say

when it was quitting time.
Times up. Pencils down.

That's right, Mrs. Fordwick
says that, too.

Alright, now, come along
with me. Pencils down.

Where are you going?
Grandpa, I need this.

I wanna go up the mountain.

I want you to come
with me to see the trees.

We haven't been
there for a while.

-Do you good. Come on. Come.
-Sure haven't. I wish I could.

I have some ads I have to finish
for John-Boy this evening.

I have to.

Very well. You do
what you have to do.

Maybe next time.

Oh, John.

Tell me, how is Esther?

She's gonna be in the hospital
a while but she's perking up.

Good. You let us know
when we can visit her.

Alright. You got
anything for me, Ike?

Yeah, I think there's
one letter there.

Why, are you expecting
something?

Hoping for those machine parts.

I imagine it must be tough
with the mill shut.

Kind of puts
a crip in things?

Would be if there
were any orders.

Yeah, I guess things
are slow all over.

They ever catch any
of these fellas?

If they do, they don't
tell me about it.

What's this?
Job openings.

Oh, yeah.

Fella brought that in yesterday.
That sounds pretty interesting.

There's a job right here
in Charlottesville.

You gotta have experience
in construction,

you gotta have, let's see, five
years of residency in the county

and a high school education.

Why, does that sound
interesting to you?

Might be.

It's nice having a government
check come in every month.

I get one for running
the post office here.

Comes in every month. Not big,
it sure comes in handy.

Let me know when those parts
come in, Ike.

Okay, John. Will do.

Oh, Livie, Livie.

Cheer up, Grandpa,
she'll be home soon.

It's not just that.

Time was all I had
to do was mention

I was going to
the mountain or the pond,

I'd have three
or four boys to go along.

Now I can't get one.
I knew it was gonna happen.

I know how you feel.
They're getting big

they've all got things
of their own to do.

Yes, they're
all shooting up.

Not much we can
do about that.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

Get out of that swing, and come
with me to the mountain

to look at the trees
we planted in spring.

-Come along.
-Me?

Yes, you, and while you're
on it, wear a hat.

You got freckles
on your face as it is.

I'm gonna go up on
the mountain with Grandpa.

Now, I didn't have
to ask that one twice.

She likes having you to herself.
It doesn't happen often.

Well, there's no reason
why a young girl

shouldn't know all about
plants and trees. You do.

It's a woman's world
as well as a man's.

Yes, they did start things off
with Mother Nature, didn't they?

-How do I look?
-Oh, just fine.

Well, you won't win
any beauty contests,

but it'll keep
the sun off your face.

You look just
like Huckleberry Finn.

Come along, Huck.

Yoo-hoo. See you, Livie.

-Borrow your pencil?
-Sure thing.

You been out of work long?

It's hard to say. I run a mill
at Walton's Mountain.

Works now and then,
kind of thing.

Tough competition here.

Fella in front of us,

has two degrees in engineering
and 10 years experience

the highways in Kentucky.

-Can't match that.
-Neither can I.

I only got one degree and three
years in building construction.

Yeah, I've been thinking
of going home.

Might as well wait
and see it out.

Maybe just a little.

What college you go to?

Now, I didn't go to college,

just high school.

Well, good luck, anyways.

Too bad Curt couldn't
stay for supper.

Well, those doctors
meetings always run late.

He'll get something
at the hospital.

Mama, did you see
what we found?

Arrowheads up
at Indian Rock.

That one would make
a pretty piece of jewelry there.

Grandpa's gonna show me
how to carve a locket

for Grandma's birthday.

Ah, looks good.

Jason, go down the road
and look for your father?

I don't know where
to look for him.

Maybe he went to
to visit Grandma.

He wouldn't go
without telling us.

-I reckon not.
-I'll save a plate for him.

-Ben, would you say Grace?
-Sure.

Heavenly Father, we thank
thee for this food...

Amen.

What's the matter?
Haven't you seen a hat?

Not on you.
Where'd you get it?

-I bought it.
-What for?

Got a new job,
I got a new hat.

What are you being
so mysterious about, John?

John Walton, you've got
that odd look on your face.

I'm going to work
for the Highway Department.

I was against six fellas
for the job.

Two of them with college
degrees, and I beat them out.

I'm gonna work
six days a week

and bringing home a good,
steady salary.

Salary's what we
could use,

the way the new mill's
been going.

Tell me something.

Exactly what constitutes
a good, steady salary?

I'm gonna be making
well over $100 a month.

A hundred dollars.

When did this happen? This
morning you went to Ike's.

There at Ike's was
this help-wanted ad

from the Highway Department,

I went and got the job,
then I went and got a new hat.

How do I look?

-Funny.
-Don't ever you mind, Elizabeth.

If he's gonna work in the city,

he's gotta look like a city
slicker.

Looks like you're moving up,

but I can't see you sitting
behind a desk every day.

I thought I'd look good behind
a desk. Liv, take a letter.

How am I gonna get used to you
going off to work every morning?

-I'll be home every night.
-When do you start?

Tomorrow morning. Putting on my
suit, my one tie and my new hat,

and I'm gonna look like
a Philadelphia lawyer.

Let's eat. Ben, say Grace.

-I already did it, Daddy.
-Well, let's eat, let's eat.

When will you be home?

Supposed to finish at 6:00,
I'll visit Ma at the hospital.

Be home about 8:00.

I'll come to town
and have lunch with you.

Be careful I'm not out with
one of those town girls.

Come here.

Hey, come on.
Let's give him a goodbye.

-John...
-Alright, Pa.

...show them how
it's done up here.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye, Daddy.

Alright, goodbye,
everyone. Goodbye.

Stand and back,
now, everybody.

Drive carefully, alright?

-Bye-bye.
-Bye-bye.

-So long.
-Bye, Daddy.

-Goodbye.
-Good luck.

Alright, let's get in the house
and get some breakfast.

Okay.

Now, what we're
doing here, Walton,

we're reviewing
the age and condition

of all the bridges and buildings
under our supervision.

You'll be working
with these other employees

compiling that information
from our departmental files.

-Guess I can handle that.
-Good.

I'll introduce you.

Miss Agnes, John Walton,
our new man.

Mr. Walton, I hope you'll
be happy here with us.

Thank you, ma'am.

Clem Beal, John Walton, new man.

-Hello, nice to meet you.
-Hello, Clem.

Mavis, does our typing.

Mavis will show you the files.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Kyle Jeffers, John Walton.

-Welcome to the department.
-Thank you.

This'll be your desk.

The name's John Walton.

Mel Parsons.

Mr. Parsons.

Now, these are
some sample forms.

I'll show you how the
information is to be arranged.

You got any questions,
you come to me.

Thank you.

Carry on.

Mr. Walton.

You don't really need these.

I brought them out
to have something to do.

Morgan watches
every move we make.

Pretend to be busy.
I'm glad you've joined us.

Thanks.

There are things you should
know about this job and office.

Don't look at me, he's watching
us. Look at the paper.

He's a tyrant. Determined that
this office gets highest rating.

Don't ever cross him.

Kyle, over there,
little old Kyle Jeffers.

He's the son of
a highway commissioner.

He's got a crush on me.

Sweet boy, but he's
a little pushy.

I'm the only one
who worries about him.

I wouldn't know about that.

I type all the letters,

and believe me, I know
everything that goes on in here

and some of it
would curl your hair.

Old Mel Parsons over
there, bad eyes.

Can hardly see his hand
in front of him.

Morgan's been wanting to fire
him in the worst way.

But, old Mel's
been here 20 years,

and law says he can't.

Treats him something shameful.

Mavis, may I help you
with something?

Well, I think you can see what
they need, there, Mr. Walton.

If there's anything you want
from the files, you call me.

-Thank you.
-Mr. Walton.

I suggest you don't put store
by everything Mavis tells you.

Yes, ma'am.

Looks like this slab
of bacon is about ready.

The rest of them are gonna need
considerable more smoking.

-Why do you smoke things?
-To keep them fresh.

Healthy, you know?

Tastes a lot better, too.
Good smoking.

It preserves the meat, too.

You get on over there and help
that fire, will you, Elizabeth?

It takes considerable science,
to keep a smokehouse fire going.

Yes, you... You have
to use green wood.

And keep it smoking.

Hardwood's the best.

You can use the hickory, and
we've got some chestnut left.

And it's got to
be a slow, easy fire.

That'll burn down.
Can I take this to mama?

Sure, take it on in to Livie.

Elizabeth, out of all the
farmhands I've ever trained,

I think you might possibly
turn out to be the best.

Your mama said
you were out here.

You taking that bacon
to school?

No, up inside
the house.

Then are you going to school?

Yeah.

-I'll wait and walk with you.
-I don't think you do that.

I've got some things
to do before I go.

And I might make you late.

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Mr. Walton?

Are you leaving us?

I was told quitting
time was 6:00.

Mavis didn't tell you, nobody
leaves till Mr. Morgan does.

What time does Mr. Morgan leave?

Whenever he decides to.

Goodnight.

Walton, would you step in here?

Take a seat.

Look over these log sheets.

Get acquainted with our
time and inventory methods.

You'll need to know
that later on.

I didn't expect you this late.
How's Grandma?

By the time I finished work,
visiting hours were over.

I was getting worried about you.
Have you had your supper?

I'm not hungry.

Well, you have
to have something.

I'll have a big breakfast.

You look about worn out.

I'm dead tired
from doing nothing.

-What happened?
-Nothing.

It's first-day problems.

I'm not used to sitting
around all day.

They won't
open the window.

I don't think anybody
down there breathes.

It's gonna be alright.
Come on, let's go to bed.

Are you sure it's
gonna be alright?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Come on, let's go to bed.

Mama?

You miss Daddy, don't you?

Well, we all do.

It'll just take
some getting used to.

Mama, sometimes when I'm out
working on the newspaper,

all the children
are gone off to school,

and I'll go into the house
to get an extra cup of coffee,

you'll be out here with Daddy...

I know what you two
have with each other.

Anybody who...

could hear you talking, laughing
with each other, they'd know.

John-Boy, why are you
saying all this?

It's none of my business, but I
wonder if his job is worth it.

We'll see.

I always eat here.

Saves money.

Kyle and Clem, they have
their own places to eat.

Their own things
to talk about.

Mel, you mind if
I open the window?

That'd be nice.

We're not allowed to open
windows when Mr. Morgan's here.

So I noticed.

He says the street noises
are distracting.

Kind of set in his ways.

He's still fighting
the Battle of the Marne.

So I gathered.

This office was a quiet,
pleasant with the old manager.

We were all good friends.

They're all gone now.

Kyle and Clem and Morgan,
they're all new.

Mavis tells me you've
been here 20 years.

A lifetime.

I used to enjoy this job,
before things changed.

Now I'm just hanging
on to get my pension.

You earned it, Mel.

Sometimes I wonder
if it's worth it.

I'm a considerable
annoyance to Mr. Morgan.

A lot of things annoy him.

Shape up.

Iron pants is coming and I
haven't finished that report.

It's the office.

The only way I can keep my
stomach right side up.

How about Saturday night?
We can take a movie.

I don't know.

There's a dance at
the Elks Club.

I'll let you know.

You always say that.
You never give me an answer.

I can't talk to you,
Morgan is coming.

Lunch is over.

If you eat in the office,
clean up when you're finished.

Use your wastebaskets.

State inspector could come
through here any minute.

Windows are to remain
closed at all times.

Street noise is
a distraction from work.

-I'm gonna go work on my car.
-Not yet. Okay.

Hey, Elizabeth,
a letter for you.

"I love you, and will you
be my girlfriend? Lucas."

Oh, how nice.

Hey, Jim-Bob, Elizabeth's
got a boyfriend.

Hey, everybody,
Elizabeth's got a boyfriend.

You've had more experience
on bridge specs than I have.

And gravel road surveys
are a snap for me.

Alright, let's swap.
Lighten the load.

-Excuse me.
-Efficiency.

One thing my father taught me.

Being the son of a highway
commissioner hasn't hurt you.

It hasn't helped
in certain areas, has it?

-You are learning fast.
-Thank you.

I'll give these
to Mr. Morgan for approval.

Do you have anything
for me, Mr. Parsons?

Here, let me
give you a hand.

Thank you, John,
let's put them here.

My work's well cleaned up.

-I'll take some stuff you have?
-I have fallen behind a little.

Mr. Walton.

While your offer is most
commendable, this department

expects that each employee
will carry his own weight.

Any man who can't do his work
has no place in this department.

Mr. Morgan, everybody helps
everybody else out around here.

Makes the work go faster.

No reason I can't help Mel.

Don't you get in
trouble 'cause of me.

Don't worry about it, Mel.

You're not pleasing Mr. Morgan.

Well, that just
about makes us even.

He's not pleasing
me very much, either.

Hi.

Well, hello, you two.

-We've been waiting for you.
-Oh, yeah?

What you been waiting
for me for?

I have stuff to tell you.
I got my car started today.

-I got three good pops outta it.
-Oh, yeah?

Grandpa and I went
to Willow Creek yesterday,

and we're going tomorrow.

What's he teaching you
about beavers?

It would've started, but I need

a wire for the choke
and can't find any.

Got some hanging on
the wall in the mill.

And we saw this big kingfisher,
almost as big as a crow.

I know that wild bird.
He is a big one.

Daddy, when are you gonna
be staying with us all day?

Sunday.

I'm really looking
forward to it.

So am I, Son. So am I.

Let's get closer.
There we are.

Come on, quiet now. Come here.

See, this is where
the beavers live.

Let's get closer. Quiet.

Quiet.

Look. Look, there they are.

Didn't I tell you?

Here's a birch tree.

It's a birch. It's
a preferred food to them.

They don't eat
nothing else.

There's lots of nutriments
in the birch bark.

-Beavers, are vegetarians.
-What's that?

Vegetarian means they eat bark
and leaves and things like that.

Look!

See that?

They make these little tunnels
down here, along here.

You see these tunnels?

You got to be careful when
we step closer.

Do you know
why they make tunnels?

-'Cause they like digging mud?
-No, not that.

They dig these tunnels...

They're kind of grinning,
all the time.

But they're not grinning,

cause the predators are
after them all the time.

They put these tunnels down
here so the bears and wolves

and foxes and other such animals
can't get them.

Come on, let's step
a little closer.

Watch it. Walk
real careful, now,

when you get down here
to this swampy part.

Come on, move on through
the grass here.

We found one of their tunnels.

-Do they bite?
-No, they won't bite.

We're swimming
with the beavers.

Ah, Livie, here we are,
safe and sound.

Elizabeth!

We fell into the beaver pond.

You are a sight!

Oh, no harm done, Livie.
Just a little mud won't hurt.

You know those tunnels
that the beavers build?

We fell right into it.

Do you have any idea
what you look like?

I like being dirty better
than being clean.

And what's that
supposed to mean?

If it's the kind of dirt you
get with Grandpa...

A little mud
is good for the soul, Livie.

Besides, it keeps the flies and
mosquitoes off the body.

I'm gonna take
a dunk at the pond.

-Me, too.
-Oh, no, you're not.

You're gonna go upstairs
and take a bath.

But if it's good enough for
Grandpa, it's enough for me.

Elizabeth,

I want you to go upstairs
and get into the bathtub.

-Grandpa...
-It's no use scolding the child.

It's probably all
my fault anyway.

I understand your
need for company,

but I have all the boys I need.

Elizabeth's a little girl,

and I'd appreciate your help
in keeping her that way.

-Hi, fellas.
-Well, look who's here.

Good afternoon, Mr. Farn-Ham.

It's Farnham.

Sorry.

Have you seen Elizabeth?

Sure, we see her all the time.

Why you got that funny
look on your face?

What funny look?

-You look kind of sick.
-Jim-Bob, it's lovesick.

I am not.

Hi, Elizabeth.

Grandpa!

Excuse me.

I brought you something.

I don't need flowers. Grandpa,
when are we going fishing?

Where'd you get that idea?

-You promised.
-I did?

You half promised.

Elizabeth, I...
I don't believe I...

I don't think I had ought
to take you fishing today.

You want me to
be a girl, too.

Well, you are a girl, Elizabeth.
And a very lovely girl, too.

Isn't that right, Lucas?

Here, Elizabeth, take them.

Well, I'm not going to be.

-You traitor!
-Elizabeth!

Oh, dear.

Well, I'd best settle
some troubled waters.

Lucas?

Would you care to go
fishing with me to the pond?

Might as well, I guess.

Where are you going, Grandpa?

Me and Lucas are going fishing.

Enjoy.

Elizabeth, what's the matter?
Didn't you like the flowers?

Elizabeth, they left
without you.

Elizabeth, Grandpa stole
your boyfriend!

Listen to this.
Isn't this stupid?

"Elizabeth, I love you, and will
you be my girlfriend? Lucas."

Elizabeth, I don't know
why you don't like Lucas.

Well, I think he's kind of cute.

I bet he can't
even bait a hook.

You'll change your
mind soon enough.

Soon you'll be going to dances
and going out on dates.

Lucas, there's a big old catfish
over there as big as you are.

Got whiskers way down
to here and a black, horny hide.

All of my young'uns
have helped catch him

and I'm glad you're
here to help.

Keep an eye out for him.

Hi, fellas.

-Elizabeth.
-Elizabeth.

Any bites yet?

Fish aren't biting.

Lucas, here, don't
hold his mouth right.

You look pretty.

Ike is having a sale
on strawberry ice cream,

two for a nickel.

Mr. Walton, do you mind
if I go to Ike's with Elizabeth?

Well, I suppose I could
suffer along without you.

Gee, thanks.

-Where'd you get the flowers?
-I'll show you.

Aw, shucks.

Anybody home?

Look at this.

Guess who.

Livie Walton, I thought
you'd be off to church.

I know the Bible by heart.

Since you took that job,
it's you I don't know.

Well, I can't get over this,
you missing church.

It's the one day
we can be together.

I haven't been much of a father
or a husband lately, have I?

You can be today.

You don't know how I've been
looking forward to this Sunday.

Curt and Mary Ellen
are coming over for dinner.

Good. We can play
horseshoes later.

Ah, you and me can sit
under the tree out there

and have a little lemonade.

I can play some ball
with the kids.

Push Elizabeth on the swing.

And I can take a nap out
on the porch

and smell that dinner

wafting out there
on the evening air.

Monday morning seems
a long way off.

It feels strange going off
to work on a Monday morning.

I know.

I guess a lot of people do it.

I'm gonna miss you.

Morning, Mavis.

I was thinking about you
over the weekend, Mr. Walton.

Oh, what were you thinking?

Wondering if I should tell you
something or if I shouldn't.

You're hired
to replace Mel Parsons.

I don't understand.

Well, Mr. Morgan is certain
Mel will quit

under the pressure
he's putting on him.

Even though he's only about
a year from is retirement

and his pension.

Mr. Morgan would fire
his own mother

if it'd put his office first.

Thank you, Mr. Walton.
Good morning, Mr. Morgan.

Good morning.

Morning.

-Morning.
-Morning.

Good afternoon, Mr. Parsons.

I misplaced my glasses. It took
me some time to find them.

Oh, it isn't the couple of
minutes that you're late

that concerns this department,
Mr. Parsons.

It's what you don't
accomplish when you are here.

There have been problems,
I know.

Your problems are right here,
Mr. Parsons.

This report that you prepared
last week.

It's full of mistakes. If I send
this to State Headquarters,

I'll be the laughingstock
of the Highway Department.

I'll stay late and get it right.

You could stay late all week,

and you still wouldn't get it
right, and you know why?

You are incompetent.

Your incompetence is dragging
down the whole department.

Are you going to pick that up?
It's your report.

Pick it up! Pick it up!

Now, just a minute.

You can't talk
to this man like that.

Now, you be careful, Walton.

He's not an animal, he's a human
being, trying to make a living.

You got everybody scared
in this office!

They take your abuse

because their lives depend
on keeping their jobs.

My life doesn't
depend upon keeping this job.

Well, I'm glad to hear that,
Walton.

You don't deserve an
explanation of my behavior,

but you're gonna get it anyhow.

I run this office
the best way I know how

because the boss above me

expects a certain amount of work
to come out of here every day.

I could lose this job tomorrow
and where would I go?

I run a tight office.

And I'm going to continue
to run it that way

as long as I'm in charge here.
I make the rules.

And if you don't like it,
the door is right over there.

Everybody go back to work,
please.

There. Isn't this better
than dirty old overalls?

I guess so.
And Lucas isn't that bad.

Mama.

Uh, I just drove by
the Dew Drop Inn,

and Daddy's truck
is parked out there.

What's he doing there?

Well, he seems pretty
upset about something.

He's just sort of drinking
a little and swearing a little,

not saying too much.

-Where are the keys to your car?
-They're out there in the car.

Where are you going?

Well, you can't go there alone.

We could send that to
Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Could you imagine what
Reverend Fordwick would say?

We better not tell him,
that's for sure.

Or Grandma.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

Looking for you.

Well, you found me.

Have a seat.

What'll you have?

You, back home.

Well, you got me.

I was just about to leave
for home.

You see, I haven't got
a job anymore.

I walked out just a while ago.

Mr. Morgan was picking
on one of the workers

in the worst way, Liv.
I couldn't...

I couldn't take it.

I almost took a swing at him.

I tell you, you can't believe
that place.

They're all like
trapped animals down there.

You know how a rabbit
looks when it's scared,

it just kind of sits there
and doesn't move, and...

Well, that's how they are.

I just had to speak up.

I'm glad you're out of it.

Well, we sure could've
used that money.

Wonder if I'll ever learn
to keep my mouth shut.

Wouldn't count on it.

Would you like something
to drink, Liv?

To celebrate your coming home
I'll have an orange squeeze.

Okay.

I'll have a...

I'll have one more
and then we'll go.

Another beer, please,

and an orange squeeze.

Don't you dare tell.

Liv, I wouldn't tell anybody.

My father never stopped looking
to learn for himself

and to support his family.

He would be forced to go
to cities from time to time

to find work,

but his stays there were always
as short as he could make them.

And his joy and ours

was always his return
to the mountain.

Grandpa, did you catch any fish?

Some little ones, Elizabeth,
and I threw them back.

Hey, Elizabeth
caught a fish. Lucas Farnham.

Hope you threw him back.

I may and I may not.

Hey, Elizabeth, are you in love?

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not.

-Yuck.
-I hate you, Jim-Bob.

She's in love.

Goodnight, everybody.

Goodnight, Daddy.
