00:00Previously on When Calls the Heart.
00:04Daddy boy!
00:05So, Toddy...
00:06He's an estate dealer. Trades in illegal coins.
00:10The importance of being earnest.
00:12You could be in charge of props.
00:15Some two-bit rancher got his hands on a crate of things.
00:18If we could find a way around the stream...
00:20Riders.
00:21There's a wildlife corridor the cattle can take to an even bigger summer pasture.
00:25Drop the proposal. Pretend like you never heard about this other pasture.
00:28One adventure ends and another begins.
00:30You did it? You sent the curriculum?
00:33So? Are you ready?
00:35I think so.
00:36I just hope I don't bore your listeners.
00:39We interviewed Jed Campbell on the history of alfalfa.
00:42Our listeners will be thrilled to hear from Hope Valley's finest educator.
00:46Only educator.
00:47Laying out her vision for a new curriculum.
00:51Now, I should tell you we have had a last-minute change-up in your daily dialogue partner.
00:55How?
00:56Not to worry. Her name is Eileen Bennett.
00:58She's a superintendent from the Department of Education.
01:00Administrator?
01:01She was on-say.
01:03There's nothing wrong with a little drama.
01:08Spoken like a true theater director.
01:11How are you feeling about the play?
01:14It's coming along. Busy, busy.
01:16You still haven't asked her yet.
01:18I am waiting for the right moment.
01:22Rosemary, you said you wanted to lighten your load.
01:25Focus on directing.
01:27There is no time like the present.
01:32Excuse me! Ava!
01:36Hi, Miss Coulter.
01:37Hello.
01:38How goes the production? I am so excited to see it.
01:41Well, uh, I am finding that I need a little help, so...
01:46Oh?
01:47Ava.
01:48Uh-huh?
01:51Would you like to play Goo...
01:56Goo...
01:59Would you like to play Goo-goo-goo-goo?
02:05Yes.
02:06Would you like to come on board as our assistant stage manager?
02:11Mm-hmm, yeah.
02:12You would help Elizabeth with organizing the schedule
02:17and figuring out the tech and wrangling the talent.
02:23Sure. I love to wrangle.
02:26Wonderful! We will see you at rehearsals.
02:34I'm getting there.
02:40This curriculum frees students to follow their interests
02:43and pursue real-life applications of what they've discovered.
02:46Because when students' curiosity leads the way,
02:49there's nowhere we can't go.
02:52And to think, this is all happening right here in Hope Valley.
02:57Now, Superintendent Bennett,
02:59I would love to hear your perspective on Mrs. Thornton's
03:02very exciting new curriculum.
03:05First, it's such a pleasure to hear from
03:08one of our inspired young educators.
03:11Can I ask, Mrs. Thornton?
03:13Elizabeth.
03:14Elizabeth.
03:15What kind of results are you seeing overall with this curriculum?
03:19In terms of?
03:20Measurable improvements in academic performance.
03:23Oh, well, I only just started this year,
03:26so I don't have test scores to compare yet,
03:28but our students are already finding success
03:31applying their lessons in the world.
03:33In fact, one of them, Allie Grant,
03:35is addressing the Cattlemen's Association today
03:38with a solution to an issue over grazing rights.
03:41Well, that sounds marvelous!
03:44But that's just one pupil.
03:46And a very talented one, no doubt,
03:49with a very special teacher.
03:51Thank you, but...
03:52And while I appreciate your ambition,
03:55without measurable standardized results,
03:58it's simply not practical to expect every teacher
04:02to find today's math lesson in the path of a butterfly.
04:06I mean, it's a worthy experiment for a one-room schoolhouse,
04:10but it's a bit naive to imagine that something so fuzzy
04:16might serve the mission of public education.
04:20Wouldn't you say that the mission
04:23is to unlock the best in all of our students?
04:26Our mission, Mrs. Thornton,
04:29is to prepare students to succeed in the world.
04:33And that means learning to compete.
04:36Rome was hardly built by following one's curiosity,
04:41now was it?
04:46Well, what a thrilling dialogue
04:50between two very compelling points of view.
04:54Now, Superintendent, let's talk about...
04:59♪
05:19♪
05:23Sorry, we're a little swamped. Are you checking in?
05:27Yes, thanks.
05:28How long will you be staying with us, mister?
05:31I'm not sure yet. Let's start with two nights.
05:33Okay.
05:34And can I get a map of the area?
05:37Of course.
05:38There you are.
05:39Now, that has all the highlights of Hope Valley,
05:42including the hot springs.
05:44I'm looking for something bigger.
05:46Might do some exploring.
05:48Ah.
05:49Yost Mercantile should have a larger map of the territory.
05:52It's just across the street.
05:54No luggage to check in?
05:56You see any?
05:59Fuzzy? Naive?
06:01Do I seem fuzzy to you?
06:03Well, not in the way she meant.
06:05She called us a one-room schoolhouse,
06:07like we're out in the hinterland.
06:09Technically...
06:10And I don't need to be schooled on the mission of education.
06:12Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
06:14Who cares what she thinks?
06:16Everyone who was listening.
06:18Oh, and that crack about Rome wasn't built by curiosity?
06:22It absolutely was.
06:23Well, maybe next time you answer her a little less like Mrs. Thornton
06:28and a little more like Diane DeMarco.
06:31Diane doesn't get into arguments with school superintendents.
06:33No. No one would dare.
06:36Do you wish I was more like Diane?
06:40No.
06:42No, I just...
06:44I just like knowing that she's in there.
06:48All right, how about this?
06:49How about tonight I make you and little Jack a cheer-up dinner?
06:52Is that a thing?
06:54It is now.
06:55And I forbid you from allowing Mrs. Crabapple to stand in your way.
07:00Forbid?
07:02That is a very strong word.
07:06Beg.
07:07Plead.
07:09Highly recommend.
07:12Diane will take it under advisement.
07:19What about an episode celebrating the suffragists?
07:22She seemed so nice on the phone.
07:24Or we could do an episode celebrating the anti-suffragists.
07:28She turned out to be like the wolf that swallowed Grandma.
07:31Or how about an episode about doing away with women voting altogether?
07:35Fiona, why on earth would we do that?
07:40Good afternoon, ladies.
07:42Roland Rockwell, Benson Hills Broadcasting.
07:44Good to meet you.
07:47Good to meet you.
07:49Yes, of course.
07:51Please, have a seat, Mr. Rockwell.
07:53As in...
07:54I believe you know my cousin, Randall?
07:57Yes, Randall.
07:59As I remember, he isn't a fan of radio.
08:03He's wrong.
08:04Radio is the best thing since the gas-powered engine, which is why I bought this station.
08:08So you are our...
08:11Boss? Overlord?
08:13Just kidding. Partner.
08:15Now, let's talk about this daily dialogue show.
08:17Isn't it wonderful? That was Fiona's idea.
08:20We wanted to showcase radio's potential to inform and inspire people to...
08:25There's no other way to say this. It was boring.
08:28Boring? Says who?
08:30I've never been accused of being boring in my entire life.
08:33From the letters we've been receiving, and as you know, letters are everything,
08:37you're losing out to Farmer Dave with the Moo Minute.
08:40What could the Moo Minute possibly have that we don't?
08:44I guess people like to hear animals?
08:46That's hardly high-quality content.
08:48Well, quality is subjective, and the public's attention is fickle.
08:51You've got to grab them and keep them listening.
08:54Well, then, we have a list of ideas somewhere.
09:00Yes, we do. It's, um...
09:03Fiona.
09:04Um...
09:05Oh!
09:07The Hope Valley Players present
09:11Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest.
09:15A new version. Adapted for the radio.
09:18A play?
09:20Mm-hmm.
09:23For the radio?
09:27Maybe.
09:29Is it funny?
09:30No, it's Oscar Wilde.
09:32Wilde?
09:34It's funnier than livestock.
09:36It's new. It's entertainment. I like it.
09:40Let's go live with it tomorrow.
09:42Tomorrow? Surely it's not that urgent.
09:45We already have an interview scheduled with a local judge.
09:48Yes.
09:49Great. There's another 60 minutes to the Moo Minute.
09:51Fine. We'll do it. Tomorrow.
09:55Sounds good. Partners.
10:02The body said that he's been getting the coins in small batches over the last five or six years from some rancher in Benson Hills.
10:08Did he happen to grace you with a name?
10:10No. But he said when the rancher died last year, he was cut off, and he sold the bulk of the coins.
10:16Let me guess. Amsterdam.
10:19Bingo.
10:20Okay. So we've got a rancher in Benson Hills that died last year. Doesn't leave us many options.
10:26Well?
10:27Just one.
10:28Ernie Martell.
10:32We're going to have to talk to his heir.
10:37You've read the proposal. You're all very well versed in the challenges of the current pasture land.
10:44We have Ali Grant and Oliver Garrett here today who have found a solution that we believe works for both parties.
10:49Let's cut to the chase before we hear from a couple of adolescents.
10:54I see no need to change what's working for all of us because of some theoretical woes.
11:00I provide a top-notch pasture for all the ranchers of this association at a very generous rate.
11:07This isn't just about money. It's about the entire ecological system.
11:12Little girl, this is a conversation for grown-ups. Perhaps it's best if you run along back to school.
11:18Mr. McGinty, that is enough. Ms. Grant is my guest.
11:21The path in question has been washed out for years, and it's permanently blocked.
11:28McGinty.
11:33That was you. You were dragging trees to block...
11:39This has been a very enlightening conversation, but I think we're just about done here.
11:43As a matter of fact, we were hoping we could take a vote.
11:45Be my guest, but I'll be abstaining. Am I alone?
11:52Counselor, perhaps we could rope this meeting in.
12:00Thank you for meeting with us, Governor.
12:02I believe I speak on behalf of all of us when I say that the Cattlemen's Association formally declines your proposal.
12:22What just happened?
12:24Politics, my young friend.
12:38Ms. Martel.
12:41I'm sorry, Mr. McGinty.
12:44Ms. Martel.
12:49I told you to drop the proposal.
12:51You knew McGinty would railroad the entire thing, didn't you? And that no one would listen.
12:55I represent the entire Cattlemen's Association.
12:58I saw the way you looked at each other. We never stood a chance.
13:02I was just doing my job.
13:06I think that any further communication on this matter should be directed through me.
13:10I think that any further communication on this matter should be directed through my office.
13:23Wait. We're on the radio now?
13:25So no audience.
13:27On the contrary, a bigger audience than you ever could have dreamed of.
13:33Hundreds, no, thousands of people will be listening in the theater of their imagination.
13:41And it's tomorrow?
13:43Yes. Well, we don't want to lose any freshness, spontaneity and all.
13:48And we don't need costumes anymore, or sets for that matter.
13:51Sounds like our job just got a lot easier.
13:55Florence.
13:56Can I still wear my hat as Lady Bracknell?
14:00Yes. We may all wear a few costume pieces if you feel it helps with your character.
14:06There you go.
14:07Now, for those of you who still haven't memorized your lines...
14:15Everybody's looking at me.
14:16Have no worries. You may now read it off your script. It's a radio play.
14:24Should I tell her about my scratchy throat?
14:29Try saying a line.
14:31I have often observed...
14:35I have often observed in married households the champagne is rarely of a first-rate brand.
14:43Oh, you do sound a little hoarse.
14:45Hickam! Are you having a little attack of the nerves?
14:50No, no. I'm just over-rehearsed.
14:54We can always make some herbal tea.
14:56Or you could sit in the steam bath. That always works for me.
15:00We have one in our private house near the tennis courts.
15:04What about the Hope Valley Hot Springs?
15:07Oh, well, I could warm up the old vocal chords.
15:10All right. Well, whatever it takes.
15:13Now, artists.
15:16The show must go on.
15:19The show must go on.
15:21Thank you, Gwendolyn.
15:24Therefore, therefore...
15:26Sound good.
15:28You saw his boots. Isn't it obvious? McGinty's blocking access to the other pasture.
15:35We should probably keep our voices down.
15:37Or what? I'm not going to be bullied by some rancher.
15:42Maybe there's another way around.
15:44They hear one of the ranchers is giving you a hard time?
15:46They all are.
15:50Really, just one?
15:52But they all followed him like sheep.
15:54Well, people are mostly herd animals.
15:57Who's your leader?
15:59A.J. McGinty.
16:01We think he's up to something.
16:03He probably is.
16:05He shouldn't get away with it.
16:08Yeah, I'll tell you what.
16:10Bullies are rarely as smart as they think they are.
16:14He'll make a mistake.
16:16What's important is that you give him room to make that mistake.
16:22And be ready.
16:24Ready for what?
16:27You'll know when you see it.
16:35We've been over it.
16:38We've been over and over this, ma'am.
16:41No one knows it better than we do.
16:44And that was the golden solution.
16:48Let's keep looking.
16:51Okay.
17:04Did I hear you and Rosemary are doing a radio play now?
17:08She's taking the lead on that.
17:11I need to get back to San Francisco.
17:15Oh.
17:17So the salon sale went through.
17:21And I have a wedding to plan.
17:26So you're really going to marry the man who proposed so many times you called him that man again?
17:34It turns out his name's Harold.
17:44Fiona, I'm confused.
17:47I thought you didn't love him.
17:51He's kind.
17:54And he's a lawyer with friends in high places.
17:59So maybe I can finally be one of the people who really makes a difference.
18:07But all the work you're doing on the radio, isn't that making a difference?
18:11It's moving toward entertainment.
18:13Which is great, but it's not what I want to be doing.
18:18This way, I can spend my time and energy doing work I care about.
18:28As long as you're sure this is what you want.
18:31I am.
18:35And I'd love if you were next to me on my big day, as my maid of honor.
18:41Oh, it would mean so much.
18:47What do you say?
18:49Fiona, yes, of course.
18:54Whatever you want, don't be disappointed in me.
19:01Never.
19:05About that stamp, it's not authentic.
19:08Constable Grant, I understand you wanted to see me?
19:11Yes, Miss Martel, please come in, have a seat.
19:14This is Judge Avery.
19:15How do you do?
19:16Is the governor sticking the law on me now?
19:19Or is this not about land rights?
19:22It's actually regarding an investigation.
19:24Your late uncle, Ernest Martel, he was a good man, by all accounts.
19:31He was?
19:32To your knowledge, did he ever have any association with the Garrison Gang?
19:36Ernie?
19:38If he had any criminal associations, he hid them very well.
19:42You ever talk about coming into some money?
19:44Any type of hidden reserves? Cash? Coins? Gold?
19:50Oh, you mean like pirate booty? Doubloons? Pieces of eight?
19:57All I know is that he was broke at the end.
20:01He made me promise to keep our name in a failing ranch, and left me with a mountain of debt.
20:05So, if there was any hidden loot, I can assure you I would be in a very different situation.
20:11If this is involving my family, can you tell me what's going on?
20:17We have reason to believe that your uncle was in possession of some unique double eagle pattern gold coins.
20:23Stolen by the Garrison Gang in the Great Rocky Mountain train robbery of 1907.
20:29Well, I don't know what to say. I'm shocked.
20:31Well, if you have any information about their whereabouts, we would greatly appreciate your cooperation.
20:36If I do find anything, you two will be the first to know.
20:53Oh, Ernie, what have you gotten us into now?
21:00Hi, Sonny. Yeah, it's Woody.
21:03Hi, Sonny. Yeah, it's Woody.
21:09We're all set. I got a room at the saloon.
21:15Yeah, just one. Not made of money. Yet.
21:21It's not a problem. You can sneak in through the balcony. Just let me tell you how.
21:24Oh.
21:30Why is everybody so quiet?
21:33Allie and I had some disappointments today, but we'll be all right.
21:38What happened?
21:40Politics.
21:41Bureaucracy.
21:44You both got to stand up and make your case in front of somebody in power.
21:48Sometimes it takes more than one try.
21:51I just wish I understood why.
21:54Do those ranchers not care about anything other than themselves?
21:58Sometimes it's hard for people to see things from another perspective.
22:02But your dad's right. You've just got to keep trying.
22:08I lost my favorite marble.
22:11Oh, we'll help you look for it.
22:14And we'll keep trying with the ranchers.
22:18Can I please have more stew?
22:21Oh, you've got a hearty appetite.
22:23It's tough work losing a marble.
22:26I got it.
22:27Thanks.
22:29I don't know what that lady said to you on the radio, but I've never loved school more.
22:37I feel like the whole world's opened up.
22:41Even if not everyone's ready to see things from my perspective.
22:48Thank you, Allie.
22:52You're welcome.
23:02I got your message.
23:04We might have a problem with our play, Rosemary.
23:10Hickam!
23:12What is wrong?
23:13Try saying something, Mike.
23:17Laryngitis.
23:19Sorry.
23:20Let this be a lesson to you of what I don't know.
23:24But it is a good thing you are replaceable.
23:28I'm afraid it's not just Mike.
23:31Bill!
23:33Sorry.
23:34Sorry.
23:36How did you...
23:37They thought going to the hot springs would be good for their voices, which it might have been,
23:41had it not also been the perfect place for everyone to catch Mike's cold.
23:45Everyone? Who else did you bring?
23:47Oh, no.
23:50Lee?
23:52I'm sorry, sweetheart. I didn't know I was contagious.
23:55So now I don't have a Jack.
24:00I don't have Lane, the butler.
24:02And you were supposed to be my perfect afternoon.
24:08All right, we'll just have...
24:10We will just have...
24:12Yes?
24:14I don't know, Molly!
24:16I need a cup of tea!
24:21You can always recast.
24:24Oh, Rosemary.
24:32Here you go. Fresh baked.
24:33Thank you, Minnie.
24:35Oscar Wilde said this play was cursed.
24:38I'm beginning to believe him.
24:40I never should have sent them to the hot springs. It's all my fault.
24:44I'm sure you didn't mean to sabotage the entire production.
24:49You did say the show must go on.
24:51Maybe not every show.
24:54Have a muffin!
24:59How can you sit there calmly eating muffins when we're in this horrible trouble?
25:04I can't make out.
25:07It seems to me to be perfectly heartless.
25:11Well, I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner.
25:14Butter would probably get on my cuffs.
25:17I say it's perfectly heartless you're eating muffins at all.
25:22Under the circumstances.
25:26Minnie! Your accent!
25:28Well, it's almost as good as mine.
25:30Where did you train?
25:31Oh, I certainly didn't train.
25:33She's good at everything she tries.
25:35You're a great alginate. Have you ever played him?
25:38Perhaps in another life.
25:40Why wait?
25:42Do we dare?
25:44Men have been playing women on stage for centuries.
25:47Why not the other way around?
25:49Exactly.
25:51Of course we dare.
25:55This will be a production the likes of which no one has ever seen or heard.
25:59Minnie, you're a great alginate.
26:03Minnie, would you be my Jack?
26:06Oh, are you sure? It's such a big part.
26:10You're perfect.
26:11Oh, but we're still missing Hickam. Who can play the butler?
26:17Mike and I have been rehearsing together.
26:19So you already know the part?
26:21Perfect!
26:22Then we just need someone to play Gwendolyn.
26:27That we do.
26:29Who are you thinking?
26:32Well...
26:36Eva?
26:37Yes?
26:39Would you like to play the role of Gwendolyn in our production?
26:42Yes!
26:46Well, you certainly have the chops.
26:48That means so much coming from you.
26:50I mean, you're such a wonderful writer and director and actor and producer.
26:53And everybody loves you. And you have this beautiful family.
26:56And I'm sorry, I guess what I'm trying to say is...
26:58I just hope my life turns out to be like yours one day.
27:03Eva, that's very sweet. Thank you.
27:06But I think you have your own exciting life unfolding.
27:10And you're so wise.
27:13Let's go put on a radio show.
27:15To the microphones!
27:26Minnie.
27:28Oh.
27:30I know it's getting late and I have to go.
27:33If only I could.
27:35Not be a stage fright, huh?
27:36I don't know how I agreed to this.
27:39Acting in a play with an accent on the radio?
27:42Well, now, Governor, you just have to buck up and get on with it, ain't ya?
27:47Well, you fancy a cuppa?
27:49You think I don't know my accent's terrible?
27:51I know my accent's terrible.
27:53But I also know that you are going to be really great in this play.
27:58Because you're really good at everything, Minnie.
28:00No, no, I'm not.
28:01No, you're not good at gardening.
28:03But running this cafe, quoting scripture, being an incredible wife and mother...
28:08Now, hold on. How am I not good at gardening?
28:12Baby, you're a plant killer.
28:15But you're also very punctual.
28:17So let's not keep these folks waiting.
28:20All right.
28:21All right.
28:23Now, if you get nervous, you just look at me.
28:27I'll be right there with you.
28:29And bing! Bob's your uncle.
28:33I need to get changed.
28:34Yes, you do.
28:35Shall we?
28:36We shall.
28:37All right.
28:38To the microphones!
28:43Gwendolyn, it is a terrible thing for a man to find out suddenly that all his life he has been speaking nothing but the truth.
28:51Can you forgive me?
28:54I can.
28:55For I feel that you are sure to change.
28:59And I am engaged to be married to Cecily, Aunt Augusta.
29:08I beg your pardon?
29:10Mr Moncrief and I are engaged to be married, Lady Bracknell.
29:13Cecily, at last.
29:15Cecily, at last.
29:20Gwendolyn, at last.
29:27My nephew, you seem to be displaying signs of triviality.
29:32On the contrary, Aunt Augusta.
29:35I've now realised for the first time in my life...
29:38...the vital importance of being earnest.
30:34Now, I know you're supposed to give these at the beginning of the performance, but I didn't have a chance.
30:40They're beautiful. Thank you.
30:44Just put these in water.
30:46I also didn't have a chance to give you these.
30:49What are they?
30:50Ned had them for you, but you were busy, so he asked me to drop them off.
30:53There's so many of them.
30:55Yeah.
30:56They're all for me?
30:57Yeah.
31:02This is from a history teacher writing from Manchester County.
31:06What is it?
31:08Superintendent Bennett and all her ilk are simply afraid of what might happen if we lived in a world of cooperation instead of competition.
31:16I could have told you that.
31:18Actually, I think I did.
31:22Oh, look at this.
31:30These are drawings a third grade class made on a stargazing trip.
31:35The teacher taught a whole unit on stars, the stories of the zodiac, the history of astronomy and math.
31:41Nathan, they're doing it. They don't need permission.
31:46It doesn't sound like you do either.
31:48I'd have to write them all back.
31:49Yeah, or you could answer them on the radio.
31:55Of course.
31:59You are brilliant.
32:01Well, well.
32:03That's sort of your domain.
32:17You can go on home now, Edwin. It's late.
32:25You're far from your ranch.
32:27I couldn't bear to leave things the way that we did.
32:32I believe that was entirely your doing.
32:35You're right. If I could explain.
32:51Years ago, there was a mudslide. It blocked the route to the old pasture that ranchers had been using for generations.
33:00McGinty offered an easy out. McGinty's Meadow used his pasture for free.
33:07For the first year.
33:09But they didn't have a lawyer, and they didn't read the fine print.
33:15Every year after, the price went up.
33:18And when they tried to renegotiate, they realized that they had signed a loan.
33:22And McGinty is free to seek repayment plus interest and penalties anytime he wants to.
33:30He all but told us that if we vote against him, he will call in the loan.
33:37Which would wipe out all of us faster than that mudslide.
33:41That is what I inherited from my uncle.
33:45A failing ranch held by a loan shark.
33:48I may represent McGinty, but I am also deeply in his debt.
33:56I haven't seen your little tell, so I guess I believe you.
34:02But why tell me now?
34:04Because you deserved the whole story.
34:08And an apology.
34:13I happen to know a thing or two about you.
34:16I happen to know a thing or two about reputation.
34:20You were protecting your uncles.
34:23I was also protecting yours.
34:27And those children.
34:30McGinty doesn't play to lose.
34:32Neither do I.
34:46Elizabeth, what are you doing here so late?
34:49I have a special delivery.
34:57Are these all from my discussion with the superintendent on your show?
35:02There's so many.
35:04Who knew the radio could be so powerful? Oh wait, you did.
35:07I was starting to doubt myself.
35:10Well, I never did.
35:12And whatever the people are saying, you can't deny you've made an impact.
35:21Fiona.
35:24I know you have a decision to make.
35:28No.
35:31I don't.
35:33No.
35:35I don't.
35:37I said yes.
35:39It's done.
35:41Can't go back now.
35:43Can't you?
35:47It would break his heart.
35:52I know how you're feeling.
35:55Calling off my engagement was one of the hardest things I've ever done.
35:59Because I knew on paper we made sense together.
36:05But my heart was telling me something wasn't right.
36:10And you deserved more.
36:18I wish I had all the time in the world to follow my dreams and my heart at the same time.
36:25Selling the salon buys me a year.
36:27And after that, I don't know what I'm going to do.
36:30Fiona, I don't know what's best for you.
36:33Only you know that.
36:37But what I do know is, if you spread your wings, you're very likely to fly.
36:45And we'll all be here in Hope Valley watching you soar.
37:10So, what do you think?
37:12It's what you said you wanted.
37:14Lots of letters. None of them saying they were bored.
37:18People who are bored don't write letters.
37:20And yes, it appears your arguing show was a success.
37:24Daily dialogue.
37:25I've even received letters at the station for both the school teacher and the play.
37:29People liked the play?
37:31They did. But I have to admit I'm rather upset.
37:34How could you be upset?
37:36My entire family won't stop doing a British accent.
37:39And it's become very annoying.
37:42Ladies, you're a hit.
37:47Your arguing show has real potential.
37:49Daily dialogue.
37:51It gets us respect and listeners.
37:53So, let's go bigger.
37:55I just acquired a license for a new station in Port Townsend that can reach as far as Seattle.
38:01And I want the two of you to go there and do what you're doing here.
38:05Be in charge of programming.
38:07Well, I can't leave Hope Valley.
38:09My life is here.
38:11I'll go.
38:14Why not?
38:16My next big adventure.
38:26There you go.
38:35I was going to wait to give this to you at your wedding.
38:40I hardly deserve a gift for calling off an engagement.
38:44Gifts? They make the rest of us look bad.
38:47Oh, I gave her a pound cake.
38:49Oh, but she's my wife, so it's from both of us.
38:51Open it.
39:00It's for whatever fills your heart next.
39:13Galileo Galilei changed the world.
39:17Galileo Galilei changed the way we understand the world.
39:22And our place in it.
39:24Simply by seeing what no one had been able to see before.
39:32There can be a cost to opening our eyes and challenging our beliefs.
39:37And Galileo paid dearly for it.
39:40We must always protect the trailblazers and seekers.
39:44The wanderers and explorers.
39:50It's not an easy path, and we owe them a great debt.
39:54So to all the adventurous teachers who wrote to me to ask questions and share your ideas,
39:59thank you.
40:01You're leading us all forward.
40:02And now, thanks to a brilliant suggestion from someone very dear to me,
40:11we thought it might be fun to read some of your letters so that we can all share our ideas.
40:16Our first letter is from Mrs. Grafton of Stanford Falls.
40:22Hi, Mrs. Grafton.
40:24She wrote in to say,
40:27So she decided to use a dinosaur puppet to teach long division.
40:33Oh, that's marvelous! I love that idea!
40:37And what if you look at the repeating patterns in reptilian scales?
40:41You could use that for multiplication.
40:44Clever.
40:46And maybe everyone in your family can use a reptilian pattern to teach long division.
40:51You could use that for multiplication.
40:53Clever.
40:55And maybe everyone in your classroom can design their own puppets and write stories about them.
41:01Dino stories.
41:03You just couldn't hold back!
41:05I couldn't.
41:07The possibilities are endless. See what your students come up with.
41:10There truly is no limit when we inspire one another.
