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!

All right, 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.

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.

- You're going to wake up everybody up!
- That's all right!

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

Let's go tell them.

- Hey, Daddy! Hey, everybody!
- 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.

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

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

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.

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.

Good night.

Good night.

Well...

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 around 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 like that 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.

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.

All right, that's enough.

Now, you all got things
to do. Let's get going.

We'd have to go to school if
the world was 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.

Bye-bye.

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.

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 that she's some type of 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.

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.

Hey, you know, 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 of things
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.

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 ever 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 Brontë 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, now, 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.

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.

Well, 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 going 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're just
gonna have to break!

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

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

and we can't afford
things like this.

Well, we've already got it!

I'm telling you right now, if
you don't take it back, I will!

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.

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 from what I just heard, 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.

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

I hope that's not gonna happen.

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

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.

Well, 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 in the morning and
have my bare feet touch the cold floor.

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

Oh, 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.

- Ma, feeling better?
- Oh, yes.

Come on.

- You want some help?
- Oh, boy.

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 all right.

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, I guess 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.
- 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.

Looks good.

There you go.

What's happening at the
defense plant these days?

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

You noticed?

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.

Hey, hey, 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're gonna have to go out on the
porch to see what Jim-Bob's got for you.

You all right, 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.

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.

Well, would you like me to give
him my post cardiac arrest lecture?

He won't listen.

Actually, what we stopped by for
was in the hopes of seeing your father.

Oh, well, he strained his back tonight,
and he's upstairs soaking it 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 down to, Mary Ellen,
is I'd like to borrow your father's truck,

if it's not too much trouble.

Well, I hate to disturb him.

Could you call in the morning?

Oh, sure, that would
be no trouble at all.

You see, 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.

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.

Well, yes, Mr. Godsey, yes?

Well, I got it. 15 bucks.

But 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 used to be.

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.

Corabeth, 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 tonight 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.

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, Jim-Bob.

- 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.

Oops.

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 got to leave if we're
going to go eat before the movies.

I'll be out soon.

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 out here.

Take it easy, Ben.

Ask Grandma, she
was taking a bath.

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

Nobody's supposed to tie it up
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!

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!

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

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 little 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.

- Is that a little closer to your dream?
- Oh, yes, Mr. Godsey. Yes!

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.

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.

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 every once in a while,

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

or anything else that's
done around here.

- Okay, fine. Will you listen to me?
- No! You listen to me!

Living in what you
call a shed is just 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.

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."

- Good night, Ben.
- Good night, Mrs. Walton.
