You look kind of
shook-up, Daddy.

You would, too, Jason,
if you'd just seen a ghost.

JOHN-BOY: The absence
of a loved one

can make the days seem endless
and the nights all the darker.

Especially in spring when
the weather is gentle

and moonlight stirs
the heartstrings.

During my mother's illness,

our family sorely missed
her presence,

and without her, my father
was a lonely, vulnerable man.

Mary Ellen.

You're getting to be like Mom

for knowing
who's coming in at what time.

I'm getting to be like her,
also, by the fact

that I can't get to sleep
till everybody's home.

I kind of like it.
Makes me feel looked after.

For how long are you
on the night shift?

I'm through for now,
You won't have to wait up.

It's alright,
I can't sleep anyway.

This bed is getting lopsided.

I know, I have one just like it.

Goodnight, Daddy.

Goodnight, honey.

MARY ELLEN: Jason,
how did you sneak in?

You get good at it
when you work nights.

How are things at
the Dew Drop Inn, Son?

Different. Thelma's sold out
and moved to California.

Now hold on, now.

What does that mean for you?

I wish I knew.

I've only got a few more weeks
to go before I graduate.

I need the money.

I'd be glad to help out
if I could, Son.

Me, too, I've got
quite a bit saved up.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I've done it so far on my own.
I'd like to keep it that way.

Maybe the new owner
will keep you on.

I'll find out
tomorrow afternoon.

Right now, I'm bushed.
See you in the morning.

MARY ELLEN: Goodnight.
JOHN: Goodnight, Son.

Goodnight again, Daddy.

Goodnight, honey.
Sleep tight.

Excuse me.

Oh, I'm not hiring right now.
Try me in a couple of weeks.

I already work here,
or I did as of yesterday.

My name's Walton,
Jason Walton.

Are you the new owner?

Mrs. Jordan.

So, you're Jason Walton.

Did Thelma tell you about me?

No but her books did.

Are you worth all this money
she's been paying you?

Thelma thought so.
She built this piano bar for me.

That's about the only thing
around here I might not change.

(PLAYING RAGTIME MUSIC)

I'm going to keep you, too,
Jason Walton.

I'm glad to hear that,
Mrs. Jordan. Thank you.

Jason.

Do you think
the regulars around here

would mind if I remodel
the joint a little?

Well, to tell you the truth,
Mrs. Jordan,

regulars are kind of
outnumbered these days

by the defense workers
and the soldiers coming in.

I thought I'd knock through
a few walls, extend the bar,

make the dining room larger.

If you don't mind my saying so,

my father has
his own lumber business.

He might be able to help you out
with the materials.

Sounds reasonable. Do you think
John could come by this evening?

Sure, I'm sure he would.

Good.

Mrs. Jordan, did I tell you
my father's name is John?

No, Jason, you didn't.

See you later.

Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

(CAR APPROACHING)

Cindy, look.

Elizabeth, he's too old for you.

Besides, Ben gets mad
if I even look at a soldier.

I didn't mean that.

It's just that I feel sorry
for the GIs from Camp Rockfish.

If they get a day off,
they don't have any place to go.

Well, you can't bring
them all home.

Might be kind of fun, though.

But other towns
have Red Cross canteens

or a YMCA.
We don't have anything.

Camp Rockfish is new.

They'll have rec halls
and day rooms later on.

Come on, we've got
a lot of shopping to do.

Cindy, come here!

Elizabeth,
we're going to be late

and I'm gonna get the blame!

We could have our own canteen
right here. Right there.

Ike, don't you see? You'd be
doing your patriotic duty

if you let us open up a canteen.

Well, I'd be happy to do
what I'm able, you know.

Mr. Godsey must be very cautious
not to over do.

He has a weak heart, you know.

Yes, but we'd run it.

I have convinced Mr. Godsey

to give up some of
his responsibilities

as Director of Civil Defense.

Whatever he becomes involved in,

he must be very careful
not to overtax his strength.

Well, the kids
would do all the work.

It would just give me a chance
to do a little something

for the war effort, you know,
without getting tired.

Well, you could be
the senior hostess, Mrs. Godsey.

You'd be helping
lonely young men

forget they're far away
from home.

Well, I suppose you're right.

We must do all we can to

help our brave,
young men in uniform.

Okay, we can use
my record player for music,

and put up lots of decorations.
We can have refreshments.

-ELIZABETH: And we can dance.
-Oh, that will be great.

I thought you were starting
a canteen.

This begins to sound
like a night club.

It's got to be inviting
or the GIs won't want to come.

How much excitement?

Well, we'll have chaperones.

We will? I thought
this was supposed to be fun.

I can be a chaperone when
I'm not on-call at the hospital.

Daddy, you can come tell stories
about the Great War.

That will keep
the troops together.

If that doesn't work,
I could sing and dance.

-We're serious.
-I'm serious!

Daddy, I hear
you're stepping out tonight.

I'm just going over
to the Dew Drop Inn.

The owner wants to do
some remodeling.

CINDY: Oh, what does she
look like?

You know Rita Hayworth?

Well, Mrs. Jordan
doesn't look anything like her.

But Jason said she's not bad.
For her age.

No, I don't even know the woman.

Better watch out, Daddy.

It's strictly business!

Now, come on!

(ALL CHATTERING)

(RAGTIME PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)

(PATRONS CHATTERING)

(PATRONS APPLAUDING)

Jason, I'd like to request
an old song,

but I don't think
you'll know it.

Try me.

Oh, You Beautiful Doll?

Sure, I know it.
It's one of Daddy's favorites.

He just came in.

I know.

(PLAYING OH, YOU BEAUTIFUL DOLL)

Johnny.

Johnny,

how you doing?

Callie?

What's new, Johnny?

Callie, is it you?

Whoa!

(JOHN CHUCKLES)

Callie May!
What are you doing here?

That's right!

Callie May is back in town.

When did you decide to
leave the mountain, Callie?

It was just about the time
your daddy got married.

I wanted the city lights.

And I got my share of them.

I worked in joints like this
from here to Florida and back.

I've been running saloons
ever since.

How's Olivia?

Well, she...

She got tuberculosis,
a few months back.

She's resting
but she'll be fine.

I'm sorry to hear that.
It must be hard on everybody.

Yes, it is.

Well, getting late.

Jason, you and me gotta
be up early in the morning.

Yup.

Jason, I like the way you play.
I hope you'll stay on.

Thank you. I'll stay
as long as I can.

I'll call you in the morning
about remodeling the place.

Oh, can't you do it tonight?

Callie May, you always
want everything right away.

I think you'll find

that I'm just as difficult
to get along with as ever.

Welcome home.

-Thank you.
-Goodnight.

Goodnight, Callie.

We want Godsey Hall
to look really nice.

It will look as though
it had been gift wrapped.

Oh, yes, ma'am,
may I help you?

You'd better, Ike,
or I'll tell Mrs. Tate on you.

I beg your pardon? Mrs. Tate?

How could you forget your
favorite high school teacher?

Callie, Callie May!

-Oh, you look good.
-Oh, you look great yourself.

Corabeth, this is Callie May,
my old school mate.

Callie May, my wife, Corabeth.

Corabeth,
Ike always was a lucky guy.

How do you do?

And this is Elizabeth Walton,
John's youngest.

You remember John Walton?

Hello, Elizabeth.

Yes, I talked to John.
I own the Dew Drop Inn now.

You don't say!

Yes, John's helping me
remodel it.

You don't say!

She did say, Mr. Godsey.

And this is Cindy Walton,
young Ben's bride.

-Hello, how are you?
-Hi.

I just stopped by to see

if you have a commercial rate
for restaurants.

I'm sure we can work
something out, Callie May.

Good. In that case, here's
a list of the things I'll need.

If the price is right, well,
you've got a regular customer.

Nice meeting you all.

Miss Elizabeth, you sure are
a pretty young lady.

Thank you.

(DOOR OPENING)

Who is that female?

(DOOR CLOSING)

That was the one, the only,
the original, Callie May Jessup.

Boy, the old days around
Walton's Mountain,

she was really something!

In fact, she used to
go around with your daddy.

Really? I thought Daddy and Mama
were childhood sweethearts.

They were, but when your mom's
folks objected to the marriage,

well then, John... Well,
he really went wild!

Mr. Godsey, we would
rather not hear

the sordid details
of John's youth!

-Well, I would.
-So would I.

Well, shall we complete
our transaction?

I think we can
break through this wall

to expand the dining room.

No, that's
a weight-bearing wall.

It's best to go out
that way, Callie May.

-I want this one, Johnny!
-It doesn't make any sense.

It's a weight-bearing wall.

You'll have to put a beam
across the top

and it's gonna cost a lot.

So what? It's my money!

Still stubborn as ever,
aren't you?

You're the stubborn one.

As I recall, you were the one
always starting the fights.

But it was fun making up,
wasn't it?

As I recall, you ran off
in quite a hurry, didn't you?

When you started going with
Olivia again, you got so dull

I couldn't stand looking at you.

I tried to tell you about Liv,
you wouldn't see me.

Oh, please! I got over you
a long time ago, John Walton.

Dew Drop was a good buy,
and I wanted to come home.

Even if I do have to look at
your miserable mountain.

Nothing wrong with our mountain!

(CALLIE SCOFFS)

"Our mountain."
Listen to the big shot.

I suppose you charge people
to look at it.

Let's just get back
to business.

Yes, let's do.
My time is valuable.

I'll start delivering
the lumber tomorrow.

See that you put it
on the side of the building,

because I don't want you
to junk-up the front.

You just get your own plans,
I'll take care of the lumber.

And don't try to dump any
third-grade wood on me either!

Just don't stand in the way when
I start unloading that lumber.

Nice doing business with you!

You're as kind
and understanding as ever!

You always did have lousy aim!

Well, that's good to hear, Liv.

No, there's
not much new around here.

Ben and Cindy and Jim-Bob
are over at Godsey Hall.

The girls are
going over there now.

Alright, honey.

I love you, too. Bye-bye.

That was your mama.

She didn't wanna run up
a phone bill. She's doing fine.

That's good.

Bye, Daddy.

Bye, honey.

-Better go.
-Bye-bye.

You sure you don't mind
watching John Curtis?

Why should I? I've got
plenty to do here.

We'll be home early,
in case you want to go out.

Where would I wanna go?

See you later.

Jim-Bob, twist it first
before you tack it up.

He knows that, Cindy.

This is the darnedest-looking
night club I've ever seen.

Oh, really? How many night clubs
have you been to?

Enough. Even the Dew Drop
doesn't look like this.

I wonder how much Callie Jordan
is gonna change it.

What's she like, Elizabeth?

She seemed nice. Real pretty.

Ike said she and Daddy
used to go together.

That was a long time ago.

Cindy, what did you
think of her?

She's been around.

-That's what I was afraid of.
-How come?

Well, Daddy didn't mention her
to Mama on the phone tonight.

And I know she knew her.

It's been a long time since
Daddy's been out in the world.

He's been awful lonely lately.

He might get that old feeling.

What do you know
about that old feeling?

It's in the song, isn't it?

Well, Daddy's not that old,
and he is still handsome.

Actually, he's at
a very dangerous age.

It wouldn't hurt
to keep an eye on your father

while your mother's gone.

Now, wait a minute!

Daddy can take good care of
himself.

I mean, he's
a grandfather, you know.

Remind him of that, too, Ben,

but don't count on it
having very much meaning.

Not with a woman like
Callie Jordan around.

Oh, come on.
Let's go get the refreshments.

Cindy's mama and papa
split up when she was 13.

Her mother died
a couple years later.

Better go give her a hand.

Why don't you finish hanging
this stuff up?

Oh, thanks, Ben.

Hi, Grandpa, I've got
a customer for you.

Wholesale or retail?

Mr. Willard's a big operator,
so it's wholesale.

What can we do for you,
big time operator?

He's got some building projects
going and needs some materials.

Building blocks, Grandpa,
lots of them.

What's this Grandpa business?

I don't mind
if John Curtis says it.

But I don't think
anyone else has the right to.

Well, you are one, you know?

Hey, Grandpa, when are we gonna
start this special order of his?

You hear that, John Curtis?

Can you say it, "Grandpa"?

Come on. "Grandpa."

-Grandpa.
-JOHN: Come on.

Take the tree out of your mouth.

That's alright,
I'll fill your order anyways.

-Want me to go with you?
-No, I can handle this.

You get to work
on the Willard order.

And sand that wood down
real good.

I don't want my grandson getting
any splinters in his fingers.

-Bye-bye, Grandpa.
-Take it easy, Grandpa.

Bye-bye.

Trouble is he doesn't look
like a grandpa.

Doesn't think like one either.

Hi, Johnny.

Callie May.

You know, no ones called me
Johnny for a long time.

Not too many people
put May behind Callie, either.

Do you mind?

No, in fact, I like it.

Most people have been calling me
grandpa lately.

Anybody who calls you grandpa
needs an eye examination.

Well...

There's your lumber.

Soon as you get your plans,
we can get to work.

Oh, Ike called.

He heard I was looking for
lighting fixtures

-and he has some on sale.
-Be careful of those.

Last time I saw
Ike's lighting fixtures,

they looked like they'd been
floor samples for Thomas Edison.

I ought to at least take a look
at them. You want to come?

-I'll meet you there.
-Want to race?

Twenty-five years ago,
I would have said yes.

Twenty-five years ago,
it would've been your idea.

I don't know, Johnny,
you're losing your bite.

Callie May, aren't you
ever going to grow up?

You mean grow old, don't you?

I mean, be a lady!

Ha! You wouldn't know one
if you saw one!

Okay, you've got yourself
a race!

(ENGINE STARTING)

(TRUCK HORN HONKING)

(TRUCK HORN HONKING)

Oh, no, no, no!
That's not fair!

-Where you been?
-You cheated!

You cheated!

You forgot your way
around these old roads.

You took a new road!

I won, and I want to know
what the prize is.

Same as it always was.

Oh, Callie May, now,
I just better settle for a soda.

(DOOR OPENING)

(DOOR CLOSING)

I've been hearing
about your plans,

and I though maybe you needed
some lighting fixtures.

And if you did, I've got
a really great buy for you.

Here, I got this
out of the storeroom.

Oh.

It's very different.

Yeah.

I've got a dozen of these,

and I don't know
why they haven't sold.

I was really looking for
something a little more modern.

-I'm sorry, Ike.
-Oh.

Well, I'm just trying to help
out an old classmate.

Sure is great having Callie
around. Kind of brings you back.

-It sure does.
-I seem to recall

we spent a great deal
of time playing hooky.

Yes, we did that.

Hooky? I don't remember
playing hooky.

Weren't you with me and Johnny

when we went down to
the old swimming hole?

It got hot early that spring,
remember, Johnny?

Yes, I remember.

What spring was that?

In fact, it got
so hot that we took off at noon

and ran down there
and just jumped right in.

Oh, did that water feel good!

And then Johnny got on
that big tire swing

out over the water,
just like Tarzan.

Got to be going along now, Ike.

The only thing is he didn't
have himself a loin cloth!

(DOOR OPENING)

(DOOR CLOSING)

I wasn't there, Corabeth.
I swear it!

It's nice seeing pictures of
your mama all over the house,

but I'm not sure we need
one in the bathroom.

Pretty lady, your mama.

-What's for supper?
-Chicken pot pie.

Great! My favorite!

Just the way Mama makes it.

Supper's not quite ready yet,

so if you want to, you have time
to read your paper first.

Good.

Mama always seemed to
manage to time it out that way.

You sure you don't mind staying
with John Curtis tonight?

Nope.

I'm the chaperone at the opening
of the Night Club Canteen.

What I worry about is who's
gonna chaperone the chaperone?

Nobody, I hope.

Well, what do you think?

This is one of the dresses
that Mama used to wear.

You all keep this up,
I'm gonna get the car

and go see your mama
in Alberene.

Why don't you?

Grandpa is baby-sitting tonight.

I don't have to go
to the canteen.

No, you go ahead.

Listen here,

you know,
it's really not necessary

for you all to remind me
how much I miss your mama.

Is this all because of Callie?

We don't want you
to get involved with her.

I don't intend to, honey.

She's a friend.

I have a right to choose
my own friends, don't I?

I always gave you that right.

Why don't you let me
worry about it?

Sorry.

I'm not just talking
to you, Elizabeth.

Supper's almost ready.
Why don't we dish it up?

Are you sure you put those
posters up all over?

I took a whole stack
over to Camp Rockfish.

When did you do that?

I told you
I was doing publicity.

I put a couple at Ike's store.

Then a few at
the Baldwin's antique shop.

There's a lot of GIs
that go around there, Elizabeth.

Well, don't give up.
It looks real colorful.

Hey, come in.

Have you got any beer in here?

Well, no, but we've got
soft drinks and sugar cookies.

Are you one
of the cookies, sugar?

Yes, she is.
And I'm her husband.

Thanks just the same.
I'll head for the Dew Drop.

Ben, I'm the hostess.
I have to be nice.

But not too nice.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Hello.

It's Callie.
How are you, Johnny?

Fine. What's going on?

The draftsman brought by
the remodeling plans,

can you come over?

Sorry, Callie May,
I'm here alone with John Curtis.

Oh. Okay, I'll bring them over.

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

We don't seem to be overwhelmed
with lonely soldiers, do we?

I could be having a better time
at the ice cream parlor.

It's really a challenge
being a chaperone

to my brother and his wife

and my younger brother
and sister.

Something does seem to be amiss.

-Hi there!
-Cindy.

Welcome to
the Night Club Canteen.

Would you like some refreshments
or maybe to dance?

Uh, no, thank you.

Um...

What I would like
are some books.

You see, we don't have
a post library yet.

Oh.

My dear young man,

come with me
and I will open the door

to the world
of literature for you.

That's really great.

You know, I was studying
Restoration theater

when I got drafted.

Oh, Beaumont and Fletcher,
here we come!

Well, I think I'm going to go
relieve Daddy.

This place doesn't need
a chaperone,

it needs an undertaker.

Stay and have some cookies.

No, but bring some home
for Daddy.

They're Mama's special recipe.

Of course! Isn't everything
we've cooked lately?

-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.

-Hi.
-Callie May.

Here they are. Finally!

I can't believe he finally
brought them over.

You look at them and explain.
I can't figure them out.

I sure will.

I've been thinking about
our race. It was really fun.

It sure was, as long as I won.

I'm giving the Godseys
a hard time.

Poor Ike.

You did lay it on
a little thick, Callie May.

Yes.

So,

this is where
Mr. John Walton has spent

the last 25 years
of wedded bliss.

Twenty-six.

Let's take a look
at these plans.

I used to imagine
what it would've been like

living here with you.

Six children, is it?

Seven.

I didn't quite picture it
that way.

Things not busy
over at the Dew Drop Inn?

Not too.

"O.W."

Olivia painted that.

She started painting again
a few years ago.

Not much that lady can't do,
is there?

Johnny,

Olivia's not gone. She's here.

I know.

Now, this is the part
I can't understand.

Mary Ellen.

Callie, I want you to meet
my oldest daughter, Mary Ellen.

Hello, Mary Ellen.

Hello.

Just going over
some plans here.

Callie's going to remodel
the Dew Drop Inn.

I see.

(CLEARS THROAT)

How're things at the canteen?

Terrible, everybody went
to the Dew Drop.

I'd better get back.

Nice meeting you, Mary Ellen.

I'll look at the blueprints
and we'll talk about them.

-Okay.
-Goodnight.

-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.

How'd you like Callie?

She's seems nice.

How do you like her?

Just an old friend.

Little crazy in the head
sometimes.

Daddy, I remember when
Curt went to Camp Lee

and I kept running into
David Spencer at the hospital.

I know what it's like
to be lonely.

And to keep finding yourself
running into someone

who used to be close.

Old feelings
aren't always buried

as deep as we think they are.

Mary Ellen,
it's nothing like that.

Callie and me are old friends,
that's all.

Goodnight, Daddy.

We still have to figure out
what to do

with the light fixtures here,

here and here.

Hmm. What do you think
I ought to do?

I have to get down
to Richmond on Saturday.

I know a place
that has some good buys.

I can get a catalog
and some prices.

I'm not busy on Saturday.
I'll go with you.

Callie, I think there's
something we oughta talk about.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I've got a composition
to work on.

I wondered if I could borrow
the piano.

The one at home
needs tuning real bad.

Sure, I'd love
to hear it, Jason.

Thanks.

So, all of our business
is settled, then?

I guess so.

I'm sure we'll find the right
fixtures on Saturday.

Got to get back to work.

-Bye.
-Bye-bye, Daddy.

I really should be
over at Godsey Hall

helping them close up
the canteen.

This piece is due tomorrow.

Did they give up?

Well, it wasn't worth it.
Nobody came.

That's a shame. We need a place
around here for the soldiers.

And take business away
from the Dew Drop?

Well, no,
we can't have that, can we?

Well, go on and play,
I haven't got all day.

(PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC)

Hello, Elizabeth.

Hi.

Jason told me your canteen
folded. I'm sorry.

I guess we just couldn't compete
with the Dew Drop Inn.

I've been in this business
a long time.

It's pretty hard
to beat the competition

unless you can do it better.

Your liquid refreshments were
a little stronger than ours.

That's what people expect
in a night club.

But we thought the GIs
would go for a place like this.

I see a lot of young soldiers
at the Dew Drop.

Most of them are away from home
for the first time.

But that's why we thought
they'd come here for some fun.

I think what a lot of soldiers
are looking for

is a home away from home.

That's for sure.

A place where they could relax,

write letters, read books
or magazines.

You know, that's not
such a bad idea.

We can get a Ping-Pong table
and set it up.

Maybe ask Ike if we can use
his pool table.

But how can we do that
without any money?

It won't be easy
to get donations,

especially after we goofed once.

You need a backer.

Something they call a
public-minded citizen

who wants to create
good will in the community.

We ran out of all of those

when we tried to get
the night club started.

You haven't asked me.

-Well, hello, John.
-Good morning, John.

Good morning, Corabeth, Ike.

I need some wood screws,
some nuts and bolts.

I'll be back later
to pick it up.

-I'll have them ready.
-Oh, John!

Could I speak to you
for a moment, please?

Why, sure, Corabeth.

I know how lonely you
must be with Olivia gone,

so I have selected two of my
favorite books for you to read.

The Constant Heart
and Faithful to the End.

Thank you, Corabeth.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness.

Well, perhaps
when you are through,

we can discuss
their moral implications.

I can hardly wait.

Well, now I must go
water the philodendron.

IKE: Oh, John,
can I have a word with you?

You know,
at our time of life...

Uh-huh.

...and it is
a very dangerous age.

...we gotta be very careful
so that we don't get off

the straight and narrow,
you know?

Ike...

Now listen, Ike,

you can trust me.

Are you slipping around?

Who, me? No, not me.

Good. Glad to hear it, Ike.

Hey! You want some nice,
fresh home-made cookies?

Want some cookies, fellows?

Oh! How about some cookies?
Full of lots of energy.

I thought you always went
to the Dew Drop.

I did, but Callie's
telling everyone

they ought to come over here

for some real down-home
entertainment.

She was right!

Want some cookies?

How'd you hear about
our canteen, Sergeant?

Callie over at the Dew Drop.

Your move.

-Elizabeth, cookies?
-No, thank you.

One for the winner.

-Hey, want a cookie? Corabeth's.
-Thank you.

I never thought it's possible
for this place to be so crowded.

Neither would I.

Had it to myself
the first time I came by.

-JIM-BOB: Who's next?
-I am.

What are we playing for?

Make it easy on yourself.

-Cindy!
-Oh, Ben.

Every soldier I've talked to
said Callie Jordan sent him!

You just watch your step, okay?

ELIZABETH: Gosh,
you're really good!

(RAGTIME PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)

Hi, fellows.

-Ike, you wanted to see me?
-Yes, Callie, I did.

-You got a minute?
-Sure, come on in.

Oh, I'd rather
talk to you out here.

I want to talk to you about
John, and Jason's in there.

Anything you have to say to me,
you can say at the bar. Come on.

Corabeth's waiting.

Was this your idea, Ike?

Well, it's both of ours,
but it's mostly mine.

I really do want to talk to you
about John,

as an old friend.

His or mine?

Well, both of yours.

If you're worried about John
Walton going astray, forget it.

He's settled in
like a bear in winter.

Well, I just remembered the way
the two of you used to be.

You really had something
powerful between the two of you.

I got over him a long time ago.

Besides,
all we ever do is fight.

That's what I'm afraid of.
That's all you used to do.

Except, the two of you,
you loved it!

Now, listen, Ike,

you're sticking your nose
into something

that's none of your business.

I came here to settle down.

I like the Dew Drop
and the area is growing.

I've had enough of marriage
and trying to get along with men

and that includes John Walton!

Callie, there is
just one thing more.

CALLIE: Mmm-Hmm.

Those marriages of yours,

why didn't they last?

Because both of my husbands
were idiots, Ike!

Maybe it's because

they didn't measure up
to the man you really wanted.

John Walton.

Goodnight, Ike.

Goodnight, Callie.

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

JOHN: Callie May?

Over here.

You ready?

Callie May, you ready?

I'm not going.

How come?

Oh, I had big plans
for this trip,

but now I just can't do it.

What in the world
are you talking about?

You've gotten so all-fired
pure and clean,

you'd probably have
a heart attack if I told you.

Get out of here, Johnny.
You're trespassing.

Callie May, will you make sense?

When I came back here,

I really didn't think
you'd mean anything to me.

I was determined you wouldn't.

But it started all over.

And I began dreaming again.

This could've been
a real nice trip to Richmond.

For both of us.

But

after getting to know your kids

and seeing where you live

and what a nice guy
you turned out to be,

I don't know, I just...

I can't do it.

Go on, get out of here. Goodbye.

Goodbye, Johnny.

You know, we might have had
a good life together,

but we went down
different roads.

(JOHN SIGHS)

Sooner or later, we would have
killed each other anyway.

We did have
something good going.

And I've been thinking
about that some lately.

You know, I never did have
much trouble

being faithful to Liv,

but that doesn't mean much

until you come up
against temptation.

Callie May,
Liv means everything to me.

That's just the way it is.

But on the other hand,
you know, we are good friends.

And we are going
to be doing business together.

And nobody's going to tell me
who I can see

and who I can't see.

As a matter of fact,
I called Liv the other night

after you left the house.

I told her
you were back in town.

All she said was,
"How's she doing her hair now?"

I told her,
"I didn't remember."

She said, "Next time
you see her, take notice!"

Come on, Callie May,
let's go to Richmond.

Get your hands off me,
you big ape!

I'll show you how nice and
innocent the whole thing can be.

You're still just
a dumb old country boy!

I can handle you anytime,
Miss Callie May!

That's what you think,
Johnny Walton!

Come on, let's go!

What are you doing?

Callie, it's all
going to be fine.

Just to be sure

I brought a few
of the Waltons along.

They want to get to know you.
They wanted to come.

Come on, Callie May.

It'll be nice for me, too,
to get to know you as a friend.

Well,

you better start remembering
how I fix my hair so you can

tell Olivia all about it.

JOHN: We're off to Richmond!

Say hello, everybody.

JOHN: Hey, John Curtis,
how you doing, baby-baby?

Here we go!

Everybody in.
Let's go to the big city!

JOHN-BOY: Callie May Jordan

became a respected member
of the community

and a good friend to
all our family, young and old.

MARY ELLEN:
You still awake, Daddy?

JOHN: I'm hitting the old pillow
pretty quick, honey.

Everybody's back
from the canteen,

and Jason got home
half an hour ago.

I know.

JOHN: I've been reading
Corabeth's book tonight,

Faithful to the End.

Hope other one is better.

MARY ELLEN: The Constant Heart?
I just finished it. It's worse.

-Goodnight, Mary Ellen.
-Goodnight, Daddy.
