Keep going! Go!

- Will you tell me why we're running?
- Shh. I'll tell you later!

Just run!

Hello, Sheriff?

The name's John Walton. We're trying
to find out about a runaway down this way.

A young man about

5' 8 ", 5' 9", brown
hair, brown eyes.

Goes by the name of Joe Douglas.

It's as simple as this, Jim-Bob.
We got to know where he belongs.

He belongs here, Daddy!

Even his name is the same
as my brother that died.

Daddy, he doesn't
even have a family.

He has a right to a home.

I want him to stay.

With each passing year
on Walton's Mountain,

our growth was sparked
by learning and change.

In fitting together the pieces
of our developing personalities,

there came a time when m
y youngest brother, Jim-Bob,

ha d to make a decision which
was to affect the rest of his life.

I thought I'd bring
something pretty in here.

A little touch of
springtime, huh? Thank you.

Oh, dear me, goldenrod already.

I was just sitting here,
thinking about your grandma,

over there all
alone at the hospital.

I just wish I'd go there and
grab her and bring her back.

And one thing I promise you, Elizabeth,
when I do, they'll never get her again.

I thought you said she was
getting better all the time.

Oh, she is, she is.

Oh, she can walk around
just as good as you and I,

oh, even better.

And I never saw her look
prettier in my whole life.

But they say they want to
keep her around for a while,

just to keep an eye
on her. "Complications."

You know, this is the
time I miss her the most.

Mmm? Why is that, Elizabeth?

Well, about this time,
when all my chores are done,

we used to talk.

She'd tell me about when she was
my age and when Daddy was little.

When you were a young man.

That might bring trouble.

She used to tell me about things

that I couldn't talk to
Mom and Daddy about.

Sometimes we'd just sit there.

But it was our time.

Now it's just empty space.

I know. I know.

There's nothing much we
can do about it, though, is it?

How about us going out to the
barn, have a good look at Myrtle now?

I just put some fresh straw in her
bed and she had a whole pan of feed.

Good for you.

I think we ought to take a good
look at that new mother-to-be.

Run along. I'll
be right with you.

Jim-Bob, checked on Myrtle yet?

Elizabeth, look
what I got for my car.

What is that silly thing?

Hey, brings to mind
that chicken hawk

we caught and set
loose up in the mountains.

I think it was meant to
be an eagle, Grandpa.

I don't care if it was meant to be a
buzzard. Someone's got to check on Myrtle.

Well now, we better be
picking out a name for the baby.

It looks like Myrtle
is about due.

I don't understand, Grandpa.

Takes five months for
goats. You mean Myrtle?

- No, I mean Jim-Bob.
- Oh.

I mean, we used to
do everything together.

Now it seems he doesn't
care about me or her.

Well, it's only natural you and
Jim-Bob go off in different directions

as you grow up,

but then there will always
be something pretty special

between a brother and a sister.

I hope so.

In the meantime, you better be
getting some fresh water for Myrtle.

If you don't, she'd go hightailing
off looking for some on her own.

Name's Joe Douglas.

Got names of about a dozen
boys here I'm supposed to find.

- Got a description?
- He's 16 years old, about 5' 9",

average build, dark brown hair.

Color eyes?

- I don't know.
- Well, we don't get many strangers, so

if he shows up around here, well,
I'll hear about it and I'll let you know.

- I appreciate it, Sheriff.
- I'll keep an eye out for you.

What a great eagle.

You know, you're the first
one that's figured that out.

- This your car?
- I built it myself.

No kidding. The whole thing?

Mmm-hmm.

Now what are you doing?

- Let me see under the hood.
- Okay.

The chassis is a Model A.

Its motor parts are
whatever I could get for it.

- How does it run?
- Pretty good, most of the time.

The horn's from a Rolls Royce.

I'd sure like a ride in it.

Hop in.

- My name's Jim Walton. What's yours?
- Joe. Joe Douglas.

- Start the car.
- Here, have a donut.

Thanks.

This happen often?

Yes.

Mmm! These are good donuts!

- Like them?
- Mmm.

I thought I was the only one
who likes strawberry donuts.

Oh, they're great.

Ugh!

This motor will
cool off in a minute.

You know, what you ought to have
is one of those air-cooled engines

like the Army planes.

Yeah, 400 horsepower.
This thing would go like a shot.

You know, I used to think I
wanted to be a race driver.

- I was in a motorcycle race once.
- No kidding.

- You win?
- Nope, came in third.

You know what we ought to do, we
ought to get a couple of motorcycles

and go riding
around the country.

- Give shows and stunt riding?
- Yeah, jump through hoops of fire.

We could even get a couple of leather
jackets with our names on the back.

"Wild Man" Walton
and "Daredevil" Douglas.

You know, we could
do that. Work, save up.

You in a hurry to get someplace?

No big rush. Why?

Well, I was just thinking.

Why don't you come out to the
house and have supper with us tonight?

Your folks won't mind?

No, there's a whole bunch of us. I
don't think it will make any difference.

- They all as crazy as you?
- Yeah, you'll fit right in.

You got any brothers or sisters?

Yeah. Well, one little sister.

I... I haven't seen
her in a while though.

How come your folks let
you go around by yourself?

I'm on my way to join the
Army Air Corps in Hampton.

Really? I'm going to
be a flyer someday.

My folks signed the
papers for me to enlist.

It was hard on them, you know.

They didn't want me to go.
I don't have any brothers.

Just one sister.

I had a twin brother named Joe.

He died when I was born.

- You want to try it?
- Sure.

- I'm never going to learn to sew.
- All you need is a little practice.

If Ep doesn't like the way you sew,
tell him to make his own curtains.

Quit wriggling.

If Mary Ellen can learn to be
a mother, anything's possible.

If you're going to make fun of
me, I'm going to let you dry him.

- Oh, could I?
- Sure!

So, this is what I
missed in my life.

Think of all the things
you haven't missed.

All that traveling you did,
all those exciting things,

while the rest of us
stayed home having babies.

Well, it didn't
appeal to me then.

It's amazing what a difference
a few years can make.

Let me dry him. Wait.

Get some clothes on you. Yeah.

Don't want you wet all
day. Come on. Off we go.

Olivia, do you think it's too
late for me to have a family?

Don't talk to me. Ask Ep.

That man's so shy.

It's really difficult to talk to
him about important things.

Mama, something's
the matter with Myrtle.

In what way?

Well, she keeps moving around
and trying to pull out of her rope.

Oh, all animals get restless just
before they're about to give birth.

She won't do anything
to hurt the baby.

Well, when you come to this
house you not only learn to sew,

but you get basic
training in obstetrics.

- What's obstetrics?
- Well, what's obstetrics?

It's a medical term
for having babies.

Why don't they just
say "having babies"?

I'd hate to go up in
one of those things

especially after what
happened to the Hindenburg.

Yeah. Hey, puppy.
Hydrogen gas. Pow!

You know, my brother
John-Boy saw that.

John-Boy? I can't keep
all the names straight.

- He must be the writer.
- Yeah.

- Hi, Sarah!
- Hi!

Hey, I want you to meet my friend
Joe. He's going to be an aviator.

- Another aviator?
- Yes, ma'am.

- Well, good luck in the Air Corps.
- Thank you.

She drove an
ambulance in the war.

Really?

Hey, Daddy, I want you
to meet my friend Joe.

- Hey, Joe.
- How do you do, sir?

How did you two happen to meet?

I was poking around his car.

Is it okay if he
stays for supper?

- Should be plenty to go around.
- Thank you, sir.

- You from hereabouts, son?
- No, sir. I'm traveling.

I'm on my way to Hampton.

He's going to be an aviator.

Is it okay if he
spends the night?

Well, I don't see why not.

Let's go ask your
mama about that.

Ah, look at the size of
this ham. Look at this.

Everybody, I want
you to meet Joe.

Hey, Joe, how are you doing?

Erin. Joe. JOHN:
You can sit right there.

Son, sit down. You can
introduce him at the table.

Quiet down.

Mop it up. Come on.

Who's the new boy?

All right!

- Jason. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

Let's say grace.

Jim-Bob, it's your turn.

Heavenly Father, we thank
you for this food. Amen.

Amen.

You can do better
than that, Jim-Bob.

Hold on.

Dear Lord, we thank you
for the food on the table

and for bringing us safely
together at the end of the day.

Also for finding
this crazy guy, here.

We'd like to fly together
someday, if it's all right with you.

My car overheated today,
but it wasn't your fault. Amen.

Amen!

- You meet all this tribe, son?
- Yes, sirs.

His name is Joe?
Where are you from?

- Pass the greens.
- Falls Church.

- Virginia?
- Oh, that's near Washington D.C.

What's your dad
do for a living, son?

He works for the
government as an accountant.

I hear you're on your
way to join the Air Corps.

Yes, ma'am.

When are you due
in Hampton, son?

They said anytime
I get there is fine.

Wish we could do that
in the National Guard.

If you're going
to stay the night,

why, you better get your luggage
in, 'cause it's a little damp outside.

He doesn't have any
luggage, Grandpa.

- I travel light.
- Is that so?

Hope you brought a toothbrush.

Yes, sir. They'll have
everything I need in Hampton.

Hey, be careful!

Sorry about that.

J.B., you see how rusty
the water is under here?

That's why your engine seized
up. It clogged up with rust.

Yeah, just like your brain.

Yeah, if you had the brains of a
cockroach you'd have known it!

You jerk!

- Boy, I'm sorry, Joe! I didn't mean it.
- Yeah, you're sorry!

I'm sorry. I won't do it again.

Yeah, I bet you won't!

Come back here!

- I'm sorry Joe.
- Stay right there!

Come on, Joe. Let's
stop this. I'm tired.

Come on, I didn't mean it.

Sure, you didn't mean it.

Come on, Joe, I didn't mean it.

I don't mean this
either. Come back here!

Come on, Joe, I didn't mean it.
- Come back here!

- I'm going to get you, fathead!
- I'm sorry, Joe!

Okay, you win, Joe. I give up.

Now I got you, you fathead!

Don't pour that water on me.

- Okay, don't move.
- Come on, come on, I said I was sorry.

Daddy, get him off me!

All right, you two.
All right. All right.

Well, I won.

I can take you any
day of the week.

Listen, Joe, I've been...

I've been thinking about you.

Aren't you a little young to
be running around the country?

I guess looking young
sort of runs in my family.

My mama looks
like she's about 20.

His folks let him go, Daddy.

Even signed the papers
for him to join the Air Corps.

When are you due
down in Hampton, son?

They said I can enlist
any time I get there.

Is it okay if he stays
for a couple of days?

As long as he doesn't get
in trouble with the Air Corps.

They said any time
I get there is fine.

Left the water running. We
don't want to waste water.

You know a lady named Sweeney?

She runs this foster
home over in Rockfish.

Always got new kids
coming to the school.

- You know her?
- No.

Just some lady my
mom talked about.

Would you jump out of an airplane
with a parachute if it caught fire?

- Sure. Wouldn't you?
- Sure.

You know what we could do?

We could be a
parachute jumping team.

We'd have... We'd have red,
white and blue parachutes.

So, when they opened,
everybody would know it was us.

We could go to fairs
and make lots of money.

I've seen them. They
make good money.

I got this magazine upstairs that
shows how to build a tailless kite.

Now, how can you
fly a kite without a tail?

Well, it's one of
those special kinds.

I think the army uses
it for target practice.

- Go get your magazine.
- Okay.

Two ounces turnip seed. Four...

- Myrtle? Myrtle?
- Where are you off to, lad?

Grandpa!

What is all the excitement
about, Elizabeth?

Myrtle chewed through
her rope. She's gone.

Chewed her rope. Well,
a rope won't hurt a goat.

She's probably gone off somewhere
to have her baby in peace and quiet.

That's what I'm afraid of.
And I wanted to be there.

I bet she went to Maude's.
That's where I'm going!

- Well, I... Give my regards to Maude.
- I will!

Myrtle!

Hey, Grandpa! Have you seen Joe?

Yes!

He run that way like a
chicken with his head off!

Claire! Claire! Come here!

How are you?

How you doing?

- Joe, why aren't you at the orphanage?
- I ran off.

We're going to Florida.

- Why are we going to Florida?
- So we can be together.

- I better tell Mrs. Sweeney.
- No!

Don't tell anybody!

You've got to keep it a
secret. They'll try to stop us.

What's Florida like?

It's beautiful.

It's warm all the time.

There's sunshine and
orange groves and palm trees.

We'll have our own house.

I'll get a job and
take care of you.

How're we gonna get there?

On a train.

We're gonna wind our
way through the countryside!

We're gonna ride the rails on
a boxcar, just like the hobos do.

Is there a bathroom
on the boxcars?

'Cause if there isn't, I don't
think I can make it all the way.

Just leave everything
up to me, okay?

I'll plan everything, then
I'll come back and get you.

Just pack your things and
be ready for me when I come.

I can't go with you now?

No. No, not now.

But soon.

- I've got to go now.
- Oh, Joe.

I know, honey. Be brave.

I'll come back for you,
okay? Be a good girl.

I'll come soon.

Bye, Joe.

- Maude?
- Hi, Elizabeth.

You haven't been over
here for a long time.

Myrtle's run away and she's
just about to have her baby,

and I don't know where
she's gone. Is she over here?

I know exactly where she'll be.
It's not very far away from here,

and if you'll help me with
this mess, why, we'll be off.

Why didn't you tell me
where you were going?

- Where did you go?
- Doesn't matter.

This plane's starting
to look pretty good.

Yeah.

We can put the
covering on later.

Hey, there's a Clark Gable, Spencer
Tracy movie playing in Rockfish.

- Test Pilot?
- Yup!

I wish we could go. I spent
all my money on those donuts.

I'm broke.

Let's go ask Mama.

Just a second. Just a second.

Well, how am I doing?

You're improving.

I don't think I'm going to make
my living as a seamstress, though.

Mama, do you know what
movie's playing in Rockfish?

No, but I bet it has
an airplane in it.

- Test Pilot.
- That's right.

Ep and I saw it last
week. You'll love it.

There's only one problem.
We don't have any money.

That seems to be a permanent
condition with you, Jim-Bob.

Olivia, please, let me treat.

- No, Sarah.
- Just once.

Jim-Bob's got to learn when
his money is gone, it's gone.

No, just this once. Come on,
it's so terrific, they have to see it.

- Thanks, Sarah.
- Jim-Bob.

I want you to come straight
home after the movie.

- No hanging around in town.
- Okay, Mama.

Thanks again, Sarah.

Sarah, I wish you
hadn't done that.

I haven't seen Jim-Bob
that happy, ever.

It's the first time he's
had a really good friend.

- Myrtle?
- Myrtle.

Myrtle!

I think your troubles are over.

Look. That's Myrtle!

You silly old goat. What do
you mean by running away?

You rascally old goat!

Well, as long as she's here,

I guess we might as well
keep her till she has her baby.

But I wanted to
see the baby come.

Oh! You can stay with me.

- It'd be all right?
- Oh, sure.

I'd enjoy the company.

Now you behave
yourself, you old goat!

Just do it.

Go!

Hey, you, get back here!

Keep going! Go!

Go to the barn. Run!

- Will you tell me why we're running?
- Shh. I'll tell you later!

Just run!

Now will you tell me
what this is all about?

- Can you keep your mouth shut?
- Yeah.

All that I told you
about the Air Corps,

my mama and daddy,

it's not true.

They both died last year.

I'm sorry about that.

Where's your sister?

Claire and I were
together for a while.

I took care of her,

but they put us both
in an orphanage.

Then they decided Claire needed a
family environment while she was young.

So they put her in Mrs.
Sweeney's foster home.

Who was that man
that was chasing us?

Oh, he works for the orphanage.

I'm a runaway.

He's got me spotted.

I gotta be moving on.

I'd hate to see you go.

Why don't you come along?

- Where?
- We'll go to Florida.

There are all kinds of
new airfields down there.

We'll get jobs and
learn to fly together.

Can't you see it?

Warm all the time, sunshine.

Flying in our own airplane.

I don't know.

Oh, we could do it.

- It takes a lot of planning.
- We'll figure out a way.

We better get back. Mama will
be mad if we're late for supper.

I guess I could
stay one more day.

Your gingerbread reminds me
of Grandma. Spicy and gingery.

We're having fun.

Having a picnic and
waiting for an old goat.

When do you think
the baby will come?

In the Lord's good time.

And while we're waiting
I'll tell you some stories

about things that happened
when I was growing up.

Grandma used to
tell me the same thing.

You might see a difference.
I was a wild young thing!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Jim-Bob, I got to talk to you.

Sure, Daddy.

I'll go get the kite.

Sit down, son.

Come on, sit down.

Jim-Bob, time's about run
out on that Air Corps story.

He's not joining the Air Corps.

Well, we've got to know
where he's going to, son.

Or what he's running from.

It's as simple as this, Jim-Bob.
We got to know where he belongs.

He belongs here, Daddy!

Even his name is the same
as my brother that died.

Daddy, he doesn't
even have a family.

He has a right to a home.

I want him to stay.

I'm not talking about that, Son.

Got to know where he's
going. Where he lives.

He already told
you. Falls Church.

All right, Jim-Bob, go
ahead, he's waiting for you.

Hello, Erin, don't worry
about it now, please.

Just try to keep
getting Falls Church.

Honey... Erin, I'll
explain it to you later.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hello?

Hello, Sheriff?

The name's John Walton. We're trying
to find out about a runaway down this way.

A young man about

5' 8 ", 5' 9", brown
hair, brown eyes.

Goes by the name of Joe Douglas.

You know anything about...

Nothing, huh?

All right, Sheriff.
Thanks anyways.

Yeah.

- Nothing?
- Nothing.

- Thanks, Ike.
- Okay, John.

He won't be back till
late this afternoon, John.

Know where he went?

Took Sarah to
Richmond for the day.

Tell him I'm
looking for him, Ed.

Ep's changed considerable
since he got married.

You think so?

He ain't got no time for
his old friends anymore.

Used to be, he was good
for a game of pool anytime.

Not anymore.

Well, marriage can do that, Ed.

Too bad.

Bye, Ed.

It must feel great
to ride with the wind.

Yeah, looking
down at the ground.

That might be you and
me up there someday.

Well, first we gotta get to Florida.
Find out where the best airfield is.

Flying lessons
don't cost too much.

You and me, we
ought to get a discount.

Hey, maybe we could buy one
of those trailers you can live in.

Yeah, we could hook it
up to the back of the car.

Go wherever we wanted to.

Yeah, going from town to
town, giving motorcycle shows,

and air shows.

We could have our name
on the side. Like "Sky Devils."

Hook our motorcycles up
to the back of the trailer, too.

Yeah, going from town to town.

We could take turns.

One trip, I'll fly the plane, you
drive the car with the trailer.

Next trip, I'll fly, you drive.

That sounds fine with me.

He's so cute. Wait
till Jim-Bob sees him.

Oh, he can come over
anytime he wants to.

When will it be able
to move around?

Oh, I'll have them out in the
yard by tomorrow morning.

But I want to take them
home. You gave Myrtle to me.

I want to keep him a while.

Why are you keeping him?

I have my reasons.

Hey, Joe!

Hey, Grandpa, Ben, have
you seen where Joe went?

He probably went
fishing. Everybody else did.

But I left him
here a minute ago.

Sorry, Jim-Bob. It's not my
fault you keep on losing people.

Your daddy tells me there's no record
of Joe's family over at Falls Church.

So we don't know any more
about your newfound friend

than we did when he first come.

I wonder where he went.

We're gonna go to Florida.

My brother will
tell you all about it.

Don't worry, we'll
be going soon.

I hope he comes soon, too.

Claire, it's time to leave.
Get your stuff together, quick.

I already did!

- Come quick.
- Joe, I've been waiting for you.

I got a magazine about Florida.

That's nice, honey.
Come on, let's go.

Well, I'll tell you. You really
got these curtains looking nice.

Well, don't look too closely.

No, that's nice. Look how
the sun just catches it there.

My first try.

Everything changed around
here, it's going to look...

- Ep?
- Different.

- Yeah.
- I'd like to talk to you about something.

- Oh!
- Sorry.

Here.

That'll take care of that.

Okay, go ahead. Shoot.

- Did I do something wrong?
- No.

It's just that...

Well, I've been thinking.

How would you feel
about having a family?

- A family?
- I went to see Dr. Jackson,

and he said that I was
in perfect condition.

And I'm still young enough.

Well, we've got a family.
Got the two boys and...

But they're your boys
and they're all grown up.

Gee, I...

I don't know if I could go
through all that again or not.

That's for a young fella.

But you're not an old man!

Well, I know, but by the time the kid
got out of high school I sure would be.

You know, it...

Well, would you do me a favor?

Sure.

Would you... Would
you think about it?

Please.

Oh, yeah.

Sure.

Sure, I'll...

You know.

Ep Bridges.

Yeah. Oh, hi, Miss Sweeney.

Just a minute.

When did that happen?

She did?

How long ago was that?

Well, she couldn't have
gotten too far, you know.

And I'll be leaving right away.

And I'll get right back to you.

Yeah, all right. Bye-bye now.

That was Miss Sweeney and...

One of her foster children
ran off. The new one.

Claire Douglas.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

That's the same name as that
boy that ran off from the orphanage.

See, Joe Douglas.

Joe Douglas?

That's Jim-Bob's new friend.
He's staying at the Waltons'.

Don't be scared, Claire, honey.
I'm gonna take care of you, all right?

Don't be scared.

Jim!

Fast!

Where did you go?

Pack your stuff. We're
leaving for Florida right now.

I don't know.

- Who's that?
- This is my sister Claire.

She's coming with us.

- The three of us?
- Yeah.

- What's the big hurry?
- Bixby, he's on our trail.

We gotta leave right now.

It's the sheriff. Quick,
get up in the loft.

Stay here until I come back
and say the coast is clear.

Okay.

So, I got this call from
Miss Sweeney and

Sarah was telling me that...

Jim-Bob?

Sheriff's looking for Joe
Douglas. You know where he is?

It's hard to say, Daddy.

Hang on, Ep.

Come in.

Jim-Bob.

Joe's sister is gone
from Mrs. Sweeney's.

Now, if you know where
they are I want you to tell me.

What's this?

- We're going to Florida.
- Florida?

If he can't stay here,
Daddy, I'm going with him.

Jim-Bob, where is he?

Joe, come on down!

Come on, son. We
know you're up there.

That's it. Come on, now.

Come on, Erin. I don't
want to be late again.

Well, Jason, maybe if you'd help me
some morning with the breakfast dishes,

we'd get out of here
a little bit sooner.

- Could you just get a move on?
- I'm moving. Just go.

- Don't push.
- Erin, your lunch.

- Bye, Mama. Bye, Daddy.
- Bye, honey.

Mama, can I go over to
Maude's this morning?

It's clear out of your way.
You'll be late for school.

Ever since Maude took Myrtle back, I
hardly get to see Gingerbread anymore.

That's what I decided
to name the baby.

Why don't you go
over this afternoon?

Visiting her isn't the same as
being with her and taking care of her.

Babies sure grow up fast.

They sure do.

- Bye, honey.
- Bye.

Jim-Bob, why don't you go over to
the orphanage later and talk to Joe?

Explain things to him.

It wouldn't do any good, Mama.

Jim-Bob.

Sorry things turned
out the way they did.

So am I, Daddy.

- Morning.
- Oh, morning.

Ep, you don't have to
dress in the living room.

I know.

Well, I'll get used to you.

Just give me a little time.

You tossed and turned all night.

Yeah, I know.

You know, it was... It
was rough yesterday.

Separating those kids again.

That little girl, she cried when I
took her back to Mrs. Sweeney's,

and it was pretty quiet in the car
when I took Joe back to the orphanage.

What those kids need is

not to be separated and to be
with somebody who will love them.

- That's right.
- There's got to be a better way.

Well, I'm sure there is if
somebody would use their heads.

Well, we could take them in.

Sarah!

A seven-year-old girl and
a sixteen-year-old boy?

You got any idea what kind of
changes we'd have to make around here?

- Well, we'd have to make a few.
- A few?

Honey, we're just getting
our life started together.

I'd like to think we still got a
honeymoon going, you know?

Well, yes, but
we'd have a family.

Sarah, I've had a family!

- Hi, John.
- Hey, Ep.

What are you
doing over this way?

Well, I just thought I'd drop in
on you and see what you're up to.

Pull up a chair. Have a seat.

Thanks, I will.

How are things
over at your house?

Well, John, it...

It ain't all that easy.

What do you mean, Ep?

Well...

- This marriage business.
- Nothing wrong, I hope.

Oh, no, no, no. It's just
that when you've been

a bachelor for as
many years as I have,

you know, I guess it's kind of hard
for an old buck like me to change.

Nobody forced you
to get married, Ep.

Oh, no, no, I'm not saying that.

But you know, when you wrap one of
these little rascals around your finger,

a lot of things start
to happen, John.

Ep, is that really
what's on your mind?

Well, John,

'course it's not.

It ain't all the fuss
and feathers that's

got me scratching
my head. It's...

To really get right down to
it, John, Sarah wants children.

Well, Ep, how do
you feel about that?

Well, John, you know,
I'm going to say it,

I dearly love that girl, you must know
that, and I'd do anything for her, but

I just don't know if
I can do that again.

You know, I did all that.

Heating up all that milk.

Walking the floor and waiting
around all night for a burp.

You know, I'll say it again,
I dearly love the girl, but

I did that 25 years ago and...

I just...

I just wish she'd have said something
about it before we'd gotten married, John.

Mmm.

You going over to see Joe?

No.

Maybe I'll go see the goats.

I don't know why Maude
got so selfish all of a sudden.

They're supposed to be my goats.

Maude?

Maude!

They're just more than
an old lady can handle.

They kept me awake all night.

So they get to stay here?

Well, I figured
you wouldn't mind.

The truth is that I just wanted
an excuse for you to drop by.

You will come to
see me, won't you,

even if Myrtle and
the baby are here?

Sure I will! You're
my second grandma.

Oh, that's nice!

Olivia! John!

Come on, honey. I want you to
meet some good friends of mine.

Come on, kids.

Well, looks like you've
got a full house there.

Well, look who's here.

Well, we brought Joe
and Claire out to our house

to give them a chance
to get together, you know.

I wonder whose idea that was.

I don't know. It just
came out of the blue.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Elizabeth, I think you and
Claire can find something

to keep yourselves busy.

Our goat just had a
baby. You want to see it?

Okay.

Come on, honey. Go ahead.
It's all right. We'll be here.

- How's Jim-Bob doing?
- He's not doing too good.

Joe? Joe, why don't
you get out of the car?

Jim-Bob, come on over here.

Joe,

do you like it around here?

- It's all right.
- Well, I'm just going to say,

if you do, why,

maybe you and Claire come
out and visit us for the weekend.

You know, I mean,
every week you'd want to

or you could make a thing
of it. Would you like that?

Well, if you did, son,

you know, it might be a good idea for you
and Jim-Bob to patch up your differences.

What do you say? Come on.

Why don't you two shake
hands and make up?

Come on, take a walk
and work this thing out.

Go on, son.

- Go on. Go on, go ahead.
- Both of you.

It looks like you two have
been doing some talking.

This arrangement, having the
kids, that's just on weekends, right?

Well, yeah, that was
the... That's the setup.

The union was soon
ma de permanent

when Ep and Sarah
adopted both children,

and the space which
Joe ha d filled for Jim-Bob

became a close
and loyal friendship.

- Go to sleep, Jim-Bob.
- That wasn't me!

Gingerbread, hush!

Elizabeth, what's
going on in there?

It's kind of cold in the barn.

I made a bed in the
closet for the baby goat.

Elizabeth, get that
animal out of here!

Close the door, Ben,

before it comes in and
poops all over the floor.

Elizabeth, I will not sleep in
the same room with a goat.

Well, go sleep in the barn!
- Mama!

Elizabeth, I think you'd
better take the goat to the barn.

I'm scared of the dark.

Erin, go with her. - Mama!

Good night, Gingerbread!
