Are you sure that's Ben?

Positive, and in public, too!

Come along, Mr. Godsey,

and ignore
this disgusting display.

Well, after all,
it is springtime.

Mr. Godsey!

(CHUCKLING) Alright,
I'm coming, I'm coming.

Cindy,

I wish we could be together
for the rest of our lives.

Oh, me, too, Ben. I love you.

Marry me, Cindy.

JOHN-BOY: In the early months
of 1942,

it seemed as if the only thing
that didn't change

was Walton's Mountain itself.

The mountain was the one thing
that endured in a time

when all else was in turmoil.

Old friends went into
the service

or into defense work.

America was on the move,
and newcomers came and went.

One such stranger

set off a series
of shock waves in our house,

with the first one coming at
about 3:00 in the morning

of a fine spring day.

(HONKING)

You're going to wake
everybody up!

That's alright!

-Oh, I love you, Cindy!
-Oh, I love you!

Let's go tell them.

-Hey, Daddy! Hey, everybody!
-CINDY: Hi!

In case you haven't guessed,
Cindy and I are married!

It's our wedding night, Daddy.

Well, what do you think?

I think maybe you ought to
put me down now, honey.

Oh, sure.

We drove all the way
to Elkton, Maryland.

They don't require
a license there.

(DOOR OPENING)

It's an awful long way
to Elkton, Maryland.

That's why we got you all out
of bed at such an awful hour.

See, you don't have to be 21,
but it's all legal and binding.

Now, if any one
has any questions,

why don't you
say them right now?

It is our wedding night,
and we have had a long drive.

It's kind of hard to know
what to say, Son.

Show up in the middle
of the night,

tell us you're married,

to a young lady
we've never met before.

I'm sorry. Daddy, this is Cindy.
Cindy, my father.

-How do you do?
-Hi.

Oh, and this is my sister,
Mary Ellen.

-Hi.
-Hi, Cindy.

-That's Jason.
-Hi.

-That's Jim-Bob.
-Hi.

-My sister Erin.
-Hello.

That's Elizabeth.

-Hello.
-Hi.

Well, I just can't believe it.

I mean, yesterday I didn't have
any brothers and sisters, and...

Well, just look.

And last, but not least,
my grandma.

I never had
a grandmother, either,

and now I have
one of those, too.

(CINDY EXHALES)

Well, it's been a long trip.

I think we're going to stay
in the shed tonight.

I've never lived
in a shed before.

But I could live
with Ben anywhere.

I love him with all my heart
and soul, Mr. Walton.

That's nice to know, Cindy.

I'm sorry I didn't talk
to you before, Daddy,

but everything went pretty fast.

Ben was sure you'd understand,

being as you
and Mrs. Walton eloped also.

Why don't we talk about this
in the morning, Son?

Well, good night, everyone,
or good morning. Come on, Cindy.

Oh, wait!
I still have my bouquet.

I'm supposed to throw it
at someone, remember?

You don't want to keep it?

No, I'm supposed to throw it
at my bridesmaids.

Which I'm sure my new sisters
would have been,

if we'd had a real wedding.

Well, here she goes.

-Good night.
-Good night.

ALL: Good night.

ELIZABETH: Good night.

Well...

(CLEARS THROAT)

She was real pretty,
wasn't she, Ma?

Oh, boy.

"Oh, boy" is right.

I'm surprised you didn't read
him the riot act, Daddy.

I'll talk to him in the morning.

I didn't want to embarrass him
in front of his new bride.

I guess we could sit all night
and talk about this, but...

You ought to get some rest.
Let's go to bed.

Why would Ben do something so
crazy? We don't even know her!

She looks pretty good to me.

That's because you're used
to seeing girls at the Dew Drop.

Does this mean
I get married next?

You can sneak off at recess.

-Why did he do it?
-I intend to find out.

-Well, why did you do it?
-That was different.

(COCK CROWING)

A cute blonde.

Wouldn't you just know
Ben would go for a cute blonde.

-He could have done worse.
-There's been gossip, Jason.

There's always gossip about
a girl as pretty as Cindy.

I can't see her
milking a cow, though.

-Or bringing in fire wood.
-Or cleaning out the pig pen.

I haven't seen you
doing that lately.

alright, that's enough.
You all got things to do.

We'd have to go to school if
the world's coming to an end.

I doubt that's going to happen.

I get the bed
by the window, Jason.

You get the whole room
when I go in the service.

Come on, Erin. Let's get going.

-Bye.
-Bye, honey.

Daddy, what are you
going to say to Ben?

And what am I going to say to
the people at the defense plant?

It's nobody's business
at the defense plant.

Don't be too hard on him, Daddy.

-Bye, honey.
-See you later.

I guess I'd better
go check on Grandma.

No need to. I already did.
She's sleeping.

She probably stayed up all
night, worrying.

(DOOR CLOSING)

Good morning, everyone!

Good morning, Ben.
Would you like some coffee?

Yes, thank you.

Where's Cindy?

Oh, she's still asleep.

I think I'm gonna bring her
breakfast in bed this morning.

I think I'm going
to go get John Curtis up.

Ben, what the hell
are you doing?

Done, daddy. It's all done.

-We're married.
-Why?

-Do you want an honest answer?
-Yes, I do.

Because Cindy and I love each
other. We want to be together.

If we hadn't have gotten
married when we did,

we might have lost control,
made mistakes.

You know what I mean.

I just don't understand why you
couldn't have talked it over

with me first.

Because you would have said no.

You don't know that, Ben.
You just don't know that at all.

I might have hoped
that you two would get to know

each other a little better
before you run off like that.

I might have wished that you let
the family

get to know her a little bit.
Get used to the idea.

Oh, that would have
been just great.

Mary Ellen and Erin are always
saying she's some crazy girl.

And I mentioned her
one time to Mama,

and she said
she was suggestive.

That's no reason to go running
off like that.

The truth is we don't
even know her. Do you?

Yes, I do.

Ben, we just don't do things
like that in this family.

Pulling a stunt like that.

I just wish you would have had
a little more consideration

for your mama.

-Have you already talked to her?
-No, I haven't.

I figure that's up to you.

-I'll talk to her later.
-No.

I don't want her
finding out some other way.

You get over the phone,
you tell her now.

Yes, sir.

Miss Fanny?

Yes, can I talk to my mom
in Alberene? Thank you.

Hello, Mama, this is Ben. Fine.

I have something important
to tell you.

I'm married.

Her name is Cindy.

Yes, the one
with the red convertible.

No, her mama died
a couple of years ago.

Her father lives in England.
He's a colonel in the army.

She wants to talk to you.

Hi, honey.

I know.

She seems real nice. You know,
pretty, young, innocent.

Matter of fact, she's got the
same color of hair

you had when we ran off.

Oh, no, Liv, I don't think...

No. The answer's no.

-How'd you know the question?
-Because I know my mama.

We didn't have to get married.

No, Liv, she's...

Oh, you heard?

Now, honey, wouldn't have done
any good if you were here.

You know Ben.

He just up and surprised us all.

As a matter of fact,
he's fixing a breakfast tray

for her right now.

I guess his new bride's
going to have breakfast in bed.

CINDY: Imagine what they must
think of me.

Sitting here,
eating breakfast in bed.

I should have been up at 6:00
fixing them breakfast!

They've already gone
to school or work,

so just settle down
and be comfortable.

I couldn't take you
on a real honeymoon,

so we're gonna
have to settle for this.

Your daddy seemed a little
peeved at you last night.

How's he feeling?

Well, I talked to him.
Also talked to my mama.

Oh, what did she say?

Oh, she calmed down
a lot after she found out

that we didn't
have to get married.

Now, what would give her
an idea like that?

The red convertible.

That red convertible
gives everybody that idea.

People take one look at me and
think automatically

that I'm the kind of girl that
goes with the red convertible.

Well, I'm not.
And you can tell the world that.

You know, my daddy gave me
that convertible

when he went overseas.

What do people want out of me
anyway? Learn how to milk a cow?

I'll teach you if you want.

Hasn't exactly been one
of my big ambitions.

What I really want

is to learn how to make you
happy and to be a good wife.

I am happy, and you are
a good wife.

That's just about the sweetest
thing you could say to me.

Ben, I looked everywhere,

but I couldn't
find the bathroom.

I'm sorry,
it's in the house, upstairs.

Oh!

You know, if we're going to
live in this pretty little shed,

don't you think it'll be
inconvenient without a bathroom?

I'm gonna build us a full
bathroom, right out here.

Oh, well, then I'll make
everything real homey.

Hey, I'll put curtains
on the windows,

and pictures
on the walls, and...

Oh, houseplants.
I just love houseplants.

I didn't know that.

I guess there's a lot about each
other we don't know yet.

Cindy Walton.
Oh, it sounds nice, doesn't it?

It sounds wonderful.

I'll just be glad when I feel
like part of the family.

It'll take time. This family is
not easy to move into.

But I hope I live up
to what they expect.

You will. No doubt about it.

You have to show me how.

Don't worry.
Right now I have to go to work.

-Anything you say.
-Anything?

But I do have to go to work.
Sometime today.

(LAUGHING)

Oh, Miss Fanny, are you sure
it's not just a rumor?

Yeah. Is that right?

Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I'll be jiggered!

Yeah, of course.
I'll tell Corabeth.

Thank you very much,
Miss Fanny. Bye.

Corabeth, wait till you hear
what happened to Ben Walton!

Mr. Godsey, please.
I am having an inspiration.

Don't you wanna hear
what Miss Fanny had to say?

Did I tell you about
the Alexander Browning estate

in Doe Hill?

It sat on a hill,
like a manor house,

out of some novel
by the Bronte sisters.

Yes, you did.

Well, the Brownings were
very secretive people

and very seldom invited guests.

But one night,
they left the gate open.

And I slipped in

and was captivated
by the fountain.

It had a large, white marble
basin, and a cascading waterfall

coming out of a magnificent
statue of the god Pan!

Even to this day,

I still dream of that fountain,
of the poetry of the lights,

and the cascading water,
dissolving into

a symphony of light and mist.

I know just what you mean.

I felt the same way
about a Stutz Bearcat.

Mr. Godsey, this letter is from
Cousin Mary Margaret Fitz.

And she informs me
that the entire Browning estate

is for sale. Everything must go,
including the fountain.

-That'd cost a fortune.
-And a bargain at any price.

Now, Mr. Godsey, won't you
please fulfill

a young girl's dream,
and go to Doe Hill,

and ascertain the astronomical
price of that fountain?

Yes, I will. But don't
get your hopes up.

Mr. Godsey, the one thing
that I have learned

in order to survive

in this Virginia backwater
is to not ever get my hopes up.

Mr. Godsey.
I want that fountain.

Corabeth, I'll do my best.

Thank you.

Now, what is this rumor
about Ben Walton?

Ben is married.

No. Ben? Young Ben?

The very same of Godsey
and Walton's

snappy songs and dances.

Well, do we know the girl?

The one in the red convertible.

Poor Olivia.

Well, how long has he known her?

Well, Miss Fanny
didn't tell me that.

Well...

Dear, in Olivia's absence,
I feel it my responsibility

as a Walton to learn as much
as we can about the girl.

We must meet her
as soon as possible.

Miss Fanny,
I want to talk to you.

(HAMMERING)

Better slow down, Ben.
You're gonna wear yourself out.

Well, the war effort
comes first, Daddy.

Aren't you planning on spending
any time with your new wife?

I thought everyone around here
was angry with me,

especially you.

Ben, it's not so much
we're angry,

it's that we're hurt,
for you leaving us out.

I'm sorry, Daddy,
I never meant to hurt you.

I know, Ben.

You know, I'm not sure you know
what a serious business

marriage is.

Cindy and I are going to work at
it. Same as you and Mama.

It's not easy.

It's worked for over 25 years
for you, hasn't it?

You've made the final
decisions around here.

That's exactly
what I'm gonna do.

Ben, I'm not sure it's quite
that simple.

Oh, Cindy's back.

She went to go get her stuff.

I'll be right back
after I help her.

I missed you.

I hurried as fast as I could,
but I did some shopping

after I got my things.

Let me help you with that stuff.

Hey, see these
cute little plants?

This one is a philodendron.

And I'm going
to call her Phyllis.

Just wait till you see
what else I got us.

Nothing like traveling light.

Oh, I've got a lot more stuff
back in Washington.

Swell!

Aunt Susan would like to meet
you as soon as possible.

Was she surprised
when you told her the news?

Just the way your family was.
We sent a cable to Daddy.

Looks like we're surprising
people all over the world, huh?

I thought you were to straighten
up this room before you left.

Oh, I will, honey. I was just in
a hurry to get my shopping done.

At least we can
straighten up this bed.

Hey, Ben, come here and look.

Wow!

-Now, that's a beauty!
-Isn't it neat?

Look, I got some records,
and I got a pretty little lamp.

So we can have soft lights
and sweet music.

Cindy, you could've bought
three record players

for the price
you paid for this one.

Wait till you hear the sound!

The better the quality,
the longer it'll last.

Yeah, but paying that kind of
money for something

we don't really need
is a habit you have to break!

Well, it's my money.
Daddy sends me an allowance.

You're gonna be on my income
from now on,

and we can't afford
things like this.

Well, we've already got it!

BEN: I'm telling you, if you
don't take it back, I will!

CINDY: Oh, no, you won't. I want
it, and I'm going to have it!

Cindy, marriage
is serious business.

It doesn't just happen.
You have to work at it.

CINDY: Well, I know that! But
why can't I spend my own money?

I thought maybe you were
bringing me some coffee.

It's for the newlyweds.

But their first fight
is a real barn-burner.

Already? Now I know
I need some coffee.

I don't remember the first fight
Curt and I had.

We had so many fights
before we were married,

I hardly noticed
the ones afterwards.

They're young. Give them time.

I don't know if she's
going to fit in.

Ben is not the easiest person
to live with.

He seems to think that being
a man just means being the boss.

I guess we'll just have
to let them slug it out.

We may not like
what's happening,

but we ought to try
to make them feel at home.

We could have a special supper
for them tonight.

(DOOR SLAMS)

Looks like we're gonna have that
without the guests of honor.

I hope that's not gonna happen.

Why don't you go get coffee?
I'm gonna go check on the bride.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Cindy, it's Mary Ellen.
Can I come in?

Mary Ellen.

Ben and I have been
having a fight.

Can you believe it?

Barely married 24 hours
and we're already fighting.

Oh, I've been crying,
I must look awful.

No, you don't. You're one of
those lucky girls

who looks good even when
they've been crying.

Oh, yeah.

Here, I brought you some
towels and sheets.

Thanks.

New record player?

Yeah, that's what we were
fighting about.

Ben thinks it's too expensive.

Ben's just like that.

He likes bossing people around.

Of course, he says
I do the same thing.

I was just trying
to make things, you know,

just a little bit more
comfortable for us out here.

It's a good idea.

I thought maybe I'd put some
curtains on the windows,

and some pictures on the walls,

and maybe a rug down
there by the bed.

I hate to wake up and have my
feet touch the cold floor.

Well, there's Mama's sewing
machine. You can help yourself.

Well, I don't want
to be any bother.

I'd like to start
helping around here.

I'm a good cook,
and I want to do my share.

Just give yourself time.

Get yourself settled in here.

Well, we're gonna have a special
dinner for you and Ben tonight.

-Well, don't go to any bother.
-No, we wanna do it.

It'll give us a chance to all
get better acquainted.

Maybe it'll give me
a better chance

to get acquainted with Ben.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

-Ma, feeling better?
-Oh, yes.

Come on.

-You want some help?
-Oh, boy.

(LAUGHS)

Here we go.

-Ma, is this a gift for someone?
-Ben.

A wedding gift.
I hadn't thought of that.

Maybe we all
should give him a gift.

Just haven't had time
to go shopping.

Put your finger right there.

-Okay.
-There you go.

Ma, does this mean
you accept what Ben has done?

He would.

You're right about that.
He sure would.

He'd make them feel welcome,
wouldn't he?

Pa never stood on ceremony.

Old fool.

You know what's strange, Ma?

Pa being gone and Liv away,

it seems like they're
still here, helping out.

I guess with them helping
we're going to be alright.

Maybe even Ben and Cindy
will be, huh?

Oh, yes.

Looks good, honey.

-Whose turn to say the blessing?
-I'll say the blessing today.

Lord, there have been times when
we haven't seen eye to eye,

but I figure it's your world.

You sure made a beautiful world,

and you're going to run it
the way you see fit.

You've blessed this family
over the years,

and we ask you to keep
on blessing us.

Those that are here, and those
that are away from home.

Just when the family
was getting smaller,

you gave us a new daughter.

And we thank you for that.

And we ask you to give
her and Ben a good, long life.

-Amen.
-ALL: Amen.

That was beautiful. Thank you.

I wish you all hadn't gone
to so much trouble.

Wish I could have helped.

Guests of honor can't help.

Although, I can't
guarantee tomorrow.

This looks good.

MARY ELLEN: Looks good.

JOHN: There you go.

(ALL CHATTERING)

What's happening at the defense
plant these days?

The new guy. Oh, he's really...

(ALL LAUGHING)

ERIN: ...you noticed?

(ALL LAUGHING)

ERIN: Probably was.

-Oh, Ben!
-I'm sorry that I yelled at you.

-Oh, it was my fault.
-No, it was mine.

Listen, you two.
Food's gonna be gone

before you decide
whose fault it was.

Why don't you eat up?

-I love you.
-I love you.

Keep that food coming.

MARY ELLEN: Hey. It's already
been down that side.

I kind of hate to disturb them.

Well, we told them that there'd
be some surprises

as soon as we got them ready.

Daddy, why don't you go first?

Sorry to interrupt you two,

but we've been getting together
some wedding gifts for you.

Nothing fancy.

Daddy, we ran off so we wouldn't
cause a lot of fuss and bother.

It's nice
to get presents, though.

It's true.

Oh, I couldn't have had a nicer
present. I love it. I really do.

Now I know why you sent me
on that delivery this afternoon.

Thank you, Daddy.

Thank you.

Your family's been
so good to us, Ben.

Every gift
means something special.

I told you you'd like
everyone, didn't I?

You have to go out on the porch
to see what Jim-Bob's got.

You alright, Daddy?

Never help Jim-Bob

unless you know what you're
getting into beforehand.

Let's see.

All you gotta do is
build a room around it.

Got all of this stuff
at Buck Vernon's junkyard.

Jim-Bob!

Here, let's try it out.
Here, right here.

I wish there was water right
here. I'd turn it on.

We really must hurry,
Mr. Godsey.

It's a little late
to be calling.

Just couldn't wait, could you?

Do you see these?

Yeah, it's a tub,
a wash basin, and a...

Mr. Godsey, please.
I know what they are.

I simply don't know
what they're doing here.

Well, not very much
at the moment.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Hi, Corabeth. Come on in.
Make yourselves comfortable.

Well, thank you. Please excuse
the lateness of our visit.

But Mr. Godsey was very slow
in closing up the store

this evening.

Well, you can't kick out
paying customers.

He simply won't listen.

One would think he had never had
that frightening heart attack.

Would you like me to give him
my post cardiac arrest lecture?

Actually, what we stopped by for

was in the hopes
of seeing your father.

He strained his back tonight,
he's up soaking in a hot tub.

Oh, that's too bad.

You see, Mr. Godsey is going
to Doe Hill tomorrow

in the hopes of obtaining

a beautiful
white marble fountain.

It would be such an addition
to our town square.

What it comes to, is I'd like to
borrow your father's truck,

if it's not much trouble.

Well, I hate to disturb him.
Could you call in the morning?

Sure, that would be no trouble.
We could've done that tonight.

Well, but it's always
so much more personal

to ask a favor vis-à-vis,
so to speak.

Where is everyone?

Either out
or doing their homework.

Oh, what a shame.

We were in hopes of meeting
the new bride.

Well, they'll be sorry
they missed you.

Well, I think it's time we go.

Well, I understand that they are
taking up residence in the shed.

Perhaps we could just drop in
for a moment and say hello.

I wouldn't.

(ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Cindy?

Oh, Ben, don't come in yet.
I'm not through.

What are you doing?

Well, these are some
new curtains.

Mary Ellen said I could
use the machine.

But they're not finished.

Well, the machine broke.
But I'll hem them later.

You broke Mama's sewing machine?

Well, I think
it was just the needle.

This material.

Mary Ellen was going
to make a tablecloth out of it.

Oh, no! Oh, Ben.
It was just sitting there.

She said I could use
whatever I wanted.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, honey, don't worry about it.

You should just check with me

when you're going to
be tackling something like this.

I'll get Mary Ellen to help you.

Don't you like them?

They're nice, I just had
a little something else in mind.

But don't worry about it.

We'll go to Ike's
and pick out something else.

I'll have to go wash up
for some supper.

(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

(CAR DOOR CLOSING)

Well, yes, Mr. Godsey, yes?

Well, I got it. 15 bucks.

I told you to call me and tell
me the price of the fountain

before you made
a down payment on it.

Corabeth, that is the full
price. Fifteen bucks.

I mean, they wanted 25,
but I told them 15 bucks,

take it or leave it.
And I got it outside.

Well, I didn't think it possible
to get it in the Walton's truck.

Corabeth, you know the things
we remember from childhood

don't often turn out to be
the way we picture them.

It's like going back
to our school, you know,

and seeing that the rooms are
a lot smaller than they were.

And the monkey bars we used
to just barely reach up to,

they're a lot lower
than they were.

I remember it vividly.

A torrent of water,
gushing from a life-sized statue

into a gigantic basin beneath.

You must have bought
the wrong fountain.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Oh, dear.
That is the wrong fountain.

This is the only fountain
that was ever on the grounds

of the Alexander
Browning estate.

Another dream gone astray.

Another illusion shattered.

Well, it's not all that bad.

Get it out of my sight.
I never want to see it again.

Hey. You're working too hard.

Oh, honey.

This room is really beginning
to look real nice.

Oh, I like these curtains.
That material's nice.

You ought to like them,
you picked them out.

I have got a surprise for you.

Daddy says that we're all caught
up on that special order,

and he wants me
to take some time off.

Really?

I'm gonna take you out to supper
and then a movie.

-Tonight?
-Just as soon as you get ready.

Oh, I got to take a bath,
and do my hair, and my nails.

You look beautiful as you are.
Go ahead and get all dolled up.

You deserve it.

I'm going to take you out
tonight,

and you're gonna knock everyone
dead, Mrs. Walton.

(HUMMING)

CINDY: Be out soon.

Hey, Jason, Ben can't find
time this weekend

to start work
on the new bathroom.

I think you and me better do it.

Cindy's in this one
every time I need to use it.

I think you're gonna have
a long wait this time.

Erin's next, then Mary Ellen,
then me.

No Elizabeth?

-She got in earlier.
-That figures.

Well, we could ask her to hurry,
in a nice sort of way.

-I did that 10 minutes ago.
-She just forgets.

I guess she's just so excited
about going out tonight

that she doesn't think about
anything else.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

I better take my place
before I lose it.

Cindy, are you still in the tub?

I want to look pretty
for tonight.

Yeah, we've to leave if we've
to eat before the movies.

I'll be out soon.

ERIN: I'm next.
MARY ELLEN: Then me.

Then me.

I've got to get ready
to go to the Dew Drop.

I'm going for a walk.

Hurry it up, Cindy.

There's a line out here
that reaches the Rockfish!

Well, I had to wait my turn
to get in, can't I finish?

I'm sure you didn't have to wait
as long as everybody here.

Take it easy, Ben.

CINDY: Ask Grandma,
she was taking a bath.

The bathroom is hers
between 4:00 and 4:30.

Nobody's supposed to occupy
after 5:00.

It's too close to suppertime.

Well, why didn't
somebody tell me?

I did tell you.
You just weren't listening.

Don't yell at me, Ben Walton!

-Ben, it's not that important.
-It is too!

Cindy, you told me
you'd be out soon!

Will you stop yelling?

It's about time.

I'm sorry, I really am.

I guess I just wasn't thinking.

I'm glad you realize that
now that you've disrupted

this entire family.

Not me.

I'm sorry,
it won't happen again.

Ben, don't you think you were
a little harsh on Cindy?

You shouldn't yell at her.

-She is trying.
-Give her a chance.

Will you guys keep out of it?
She's my wife.

What goes on between us
is our business, not yours!

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Cindy, open this door!
I want to talk to you!

Go away, Ben.

I'm not going anywhere
with you yelling at me!

-Cindy!
-I just need time to think.

-Cindy, you're my wife.
-No, I'm not.

I'm just somebody
for you to order around.

-You open this door, right now!
-Oh, just let me alone!

alright. I'll yell at you
from right out here!

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Cindy!

You see any answers out there?

I don't think there are any.

I know how you feel, Son.

There is something
that might help.

-I don't know what it could be.
-Time.

You've got to give yourself
little time.

Right now, it feels like
the biggest mistake

I've ever made.

She probably feels the same way.

But you're dealing with
a whole lifetime, Son.

A few days
doesn't prove anything.

Oh, Daddy. Never thought I'd get

to the point where she doesn't
even listen to me.

Those things happen.
Won't listen, won't talk.

That's why it's important to
give yourself

some time to think things out.

Allow a little
space between you.

Things might look different
in the morning.

I hope you're right.

'Cause right now,
I really doubt it.

Listen, I want to thank you guys
for all the hard work.

I appreciate it. Thanks.

Well, kind of surprised to
see you up so late.

Well, I daresay.

And where have you been?

Well, I've been on a little
special project.

Hey, it's a lovely evening.

Would you like
to take a little walk?

At this time of night?

Well, if you don't want to take
a walk, I'll walk by myself.

What on earth is on your mind?

Mr. Godsey!

-Over here, Corabeth.
-Mr. Godsey, what is this about?

Over here in the park, Corabeth.

Mr. Godsey, I don't like
this playing games!

-What is this?
-I've got a surprise for you.

Watch.

(CORABETH EXCLAIMS)

Is that a little closer
to your dream?

Oh, yes, Mr. Godsey. Yes!

(DOOR CLOSING)

Thank you, Ma.

Cindy's leaving.

It just isn't going to work out.

Can't you talk her
out of it, Son?

She won't listen.

You listen!

-I have been listening, Grandma.
-Come.

-She won't see me.
-Come!

Grandma thinks you're acting
too much like a boss, Son.

Aren't I supposed to?

Aren't I the man in the family,
just like you are?

There's all kinds of ways
to be a man.

Listening to others
is one of them.

(DOOR CLOSING)

Why don't you start
by listening to your grandma?

Did I miss something?

Went beyond the beginning
of a barn-burner.

-Grandma's getting mixed in.
-Uh-oh.

That could be
more than a barn-burner.

That could be a out-and-out
wingding of a fight.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Now, I told you, Ben Walton!

Grandma, I'm sorry.

I was coming to bring you this.

I do love it so.

Love him?

Yes, Grandma, I do.

But he won't listen to me.

He's just like my father,
loud and bossy!

-I was just trying to help.
-No!

You talk.

Now, wait a second, Grandma.

Just because you took
a broom to Grandpa

doesn't mean
it's going to work with us.

Did you really do that, Grandma?

Yes. Old fool!

Young fool!

No! Cindy, cut that out.

If I'm going to learn how to
live with you and your family,

I've got to start doing my share
of things around here.

Now, I might
make a few mistakes,

but I'm not too stupid to know
which end of a cow you milk.

Okay, fine.
Will you listen to me?

No! You listen to me! Living in
what you call a shed is fine,

as long as you let me make it
our shed, not just yours.

"God bless our home."

That's what Grandma's
sampler said, Ben.

And it can't be ours unless you
let me make it part mine, too!

You're right.

I was wrong.

But I never wanted to hurt you.

I just wanted everything
to be right for us.

Just let me be myself, Ben.

I love you, Cindy.

I love you.

JOHN-BOY: The newlyweds kissed
and made up, once again.

This time it took
and the marriage

went well for both
Ben and Cindy.

To this day in their house,

there's a broom in the corner
of the kitchen

and Grandma's sampler on the
wall, "God bless our home."

CINDY: Good night, Ben.
BEN: Good night, Mrs. Walton.
