Short filmTranscript
00:00:01But it would hurt my feelings if you delivered my first grandson without me.
00:00:05I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:00:07And I'm counting on you.
00:00:09Keep good thoughts, the baby.
00:00:12We'll see you in a few weeks, Mother.
00:00:13All right, Peter Watson, you drive slowly and easily.
00:00:18And avoid the ruts in the bus.
00:00:21Annie and my grandson do not need to be jostled around like a sack of potatoes.
00:00:26Yes, ma'am.
00:00:30I got it for you, Joe.
00:00:31Yes, sir!
00:00:32Skip up!
00:01:00It just feels awful sometimes.
00:01:15What exactly are you feeling?
00:01:17I don't mean to complain, doctor, but I'm just plum wore out.
00:01:21Sometimes I can barely keep my head up.
00:01:23And when did you start feeling this way?
00:01:25When I had my youngest.
00:01:26About five months ago.
00:01:32Your mouth, please.
00:01:39It becomes a very pale label.
00:01:41You haven't noticed when you look in the mirror?
00:01:43I'm not sure I know what they're supposed to look like.
00:01:45Well, I think you have anemia, which means you don't have enough iron in your body.
00:01:48It's common with new mothers.
00:01:50When the baby was inside of you, he took most of your iron.
00:01:53So it's nothing serious, then?
00:01:55Oh, it's very serious.
00:01:56What took you so long to come to me?
00:01:58Well, you see, my husband doesn't think I'm really sick.
00:02:01He says I'm just lazy.
00:02:03You take care of six children and a husband while you work harder than he does.
00:02:07Lloyd's a good man, Doc Owens.
00:02:08Really, he is.
00:02:09He just don't trust doctors.
00:02:11Not since his sister died.
00:02:13Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:16There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:19Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:22He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33You take two spoonfuls twice a day.
00:02:35You can come and see me in a week.
00:02:38It's very important that my coming to see you is kept private.
00:02:41What goes on between a doctor and a patient is always very private.
00:02:56Hello, Lee.
00:02:57Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59Leaving that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:05You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:07Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:09Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:11My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:13Well, she should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:19I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:21Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take your hand to the doctor.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:43I'm sorry your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:47I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:49Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:53That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:57Tell her all these are, we've got medicine.
00:04:01I've got a lapsus.
00:04:02Very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:05Now you take care of yourself.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:07All right, pal.
00:04:09Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:13There you go.
00:04:14I've got you, sir.
00:04:16I don't want any more of that funny business.

00:15:20Can we just let this go?
00:15:21Just...
00:15:23I think we're in a suit, doesn't it?
00:15:26It's okay.
00:15:28It's okay.
00:15:29It's fine.
00:15:31It's in the east, Beth.
00:15:34It's his, this is...
00:15:36It's not high.
00:15:42What is...
00:15:49It's nice to get it.
00:16:00It's nice to get it.
00:16:12It's nice to get it.
00:16:42It's nice to get it.
00:17:12It's nice to get it.
00:17:14It's nice to get it.
00:17:16It's nice to get it.
00:17:18It's nice to get it.
00:17:20It's nice to get it.
00:17:22It's nice to get it.
00:17:24Did she have a seizure?
00:17:26No, she has all the other symptoms.
00:17:28Well, I'll telegraph Peter first thing in the morning.
00:17:30Tell him what's happened.
00:17:33And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:36Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:37Well, I made it all.
00:17:38Why are his mother?
00:17:39You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:43Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:48Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:52To being lazy you mean.
00:17:54I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:56I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:57But I am your doctor and this is my home.
00:18:00And if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:03Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:05Perhaps.
00:18:06But if not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:09I love you.
00:18:11I love you too.
00:18:20Prepare for my peach.
00:18:24Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:27No, you just run along to school.
00:18:29I'll post a note on the clinic and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:33Morning, ladies.
00:18:34Morning.
00:18:36Bye, Ma.
00:18:37Have a good day, darling.
00:18:38Bye, Ma.
00:18:40That girl kicks up a cloud of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:45Here you go.
00:18:48Is this your way of telling me not to come home for supper?
00:18:51The other one is for Joshua.
00:18:52A young man just starting off looked like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:56Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:58Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:19:04I love you too, Lee Owens.
00:19:06Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:08All right.
00:19:10Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:23Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's is better served staying here until after the delivery.
00:19:28I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:29Lee Owens.
00:19:30I appreciate it.
00:19:31Doc Olin.
00:19:32It's for Queen.
00:19:33Sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment.
00:19:34Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:35Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:36Why you gotta go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:37What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:38Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:19:39Give her that medicine.
00:19:40I don't need your magic potion.
00:19:41A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:19:43I don't know the details of your sister's death, but there's no magic to it.
00:19:44Your wife had a baby a month ago and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:19:45It's for Queen.
00:19:46It's for Queen.
00:19:47Sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment.
00:19:48Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:50Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:51Why you gotta go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:54What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:57Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:19:59Give her that medicine.
00:20:00I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:02A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:20:05I don't know the details of your sister's death, but there's no magic to it.
00:20:10Your wife had a baby a month ago and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:20:14Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed, you would realize that.
00:20:17Now my advice-
00:20:18I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:21Doctors aren't worth a-
00:20:23Putin holler!
00:20:28Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:29Yes, I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:33Lloyd McQueen is truly set in his ways, but he's still a child of our maker.
00:20:38He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:40Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:46There I go preaching again.
00:20:49Oh, it's all right. I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:52I'll see you in church, Belinda. Good day.
00:20:59That's it. Steady blows.
00:21:08All right.
00:21:10Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:17Must run in the family.
00:21:18I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted. Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:27Really?
00:21:28Hmm.
00:21:29I never would have known.
00:21:30I mean, she and Mrs... I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:35Matter of fact.
00:21:36Yeah, I mean, it's just... Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:40Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:55I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:57Doctor's orders.
00:21:59Even if you don't feel up to it, you need to finish the entire wall.
00:22:02I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:22:04And I'm a doctor. I think I know what's best for me.
00:22:06Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:11Is that another contraction?
00:22:13No, the baby's just kicking.
00:22:15And I have to tell you, I'm a little relieved.
00:22:17I haven't felt him move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:20You just said it was...
00:22:22He?
00:22:23How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:25I know it sounds silly, but...
00:22:27Mary thinks because I'm carrying so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:30It is silly. That's an old wives' tale.
00:22:32There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:34Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant,
00:22:37Mary was concerned because she was carrying so far out in front.
00:22:40She said it would be a breached birth, and she was right.
00:22:43One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:46Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:49You want to feel?
00:22:50That's all right.
00:22:52Come on, Belinda. Don't be nervous.
00:22:54Don't be nervous.
00:22:58It's so strange.
00:23:00I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:03It suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:09I'm sorry.
00:23:11I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:23:14Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
00:23:15You know, I know so many women that have gotten pregnant without even trying.
00:23:19And Leigh and I have been trying.
00:23:22We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:24You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:26I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:30She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:34It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:36I'd better get supper ready.
00:23:42Lee and Lillian will be home soon.
00:23:44I'm here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:47Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:23:50I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:05I just looked in on Annie.
00:24:12She's out for the night.
00:24:14She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:17I think I've heard that before.
00:24:22You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:25I suppose it's why we're such good friends.
00:24:30I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:34I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Lil.
00:24:37I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:40Why not? He's only a couple years older.
00:24:42Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith. I want better for Lillian.
00:24:46I'm the wife of a blacksmith and you don't hear me complaining.
00:24:49I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:53You could have done much better.
00:24:55You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:57I married you because I fell in love with you, Leon.
00:25:00And if Lillian and Joshua had taken interest in one another,
00:25:04I don't think it's our place to stand in their way.
00:25:06Besides, telling Lillian she can't have somethings.
00:25:10Like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:12I get your point.
00:25:17I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:20Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:25And if Lill wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:29I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:33I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:38It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:41Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:43You go ahead. I'll be up in a little while.
00:25:46Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:25:52Please allow me to pass.
00:25:56We need to get to know each other.
00:26:02I think not. I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:04I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:06Excuse me.
00:26:08You mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:09This ain't none of your affairs, sod buster.
00:26:10Ah, but it is.
00:26:11It ain't.
00:26:12It ain't.
00:26:13You knocked your head off, boy.
00:26:14Now you hold on a second.
00:26:15Now the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:16Now I only have two.
00:26:17So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:18So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:19Get down.
00:26:20Get down.
00:26:21Get down.
00:26:22That was the second cheek.
00:26:23You're breaking my wrist.
00:26:24Well, I understand.
00:26:25There's a fine doctor in town.
00:26:27Yeah, you believe that?
00:26:29I'm not here.
00:26:34You knocked your head off, boy.
00:26:36Now, you hold on a second.
00:26:37Now, the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:39Now, I only have two.
00:26:41So, after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:49That was the second cheek.
00:26:51You're breaking my wrist.
00:26:52Well, I understand there's a fine doctor in town.
00:26:54Please, don't.
00:26:55Please, don't break.
00:26:56I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:58No, never.
00:26:59Good.
00:27:01Now, get.
00:27:12Morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:14You on your way to school?
00:27:15Indeed I am.
00:27:17May I walk with you?
00:27:18I did the best I could, Jim, but you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:30Your boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:45He lives and breathes work.
00:27:47Ma says sometimes he rolls over to sleep and tries to use their arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:51I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:54It's not such a bad life, really.
00:27:59So, what about you?
00:28:01You're going to be a doctor like your mom?
00:28:03I don't know.
00:28:05I haven't decided.
00:28:06Maybe I want to be a lawyer or a famous writer like Harriet Beecher Stowe.
00:28:10One thing for sure, I want to go to college.
00:28:13Well, I better get to work.
00:28:14Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:18You too, Lily.
00:28:22I don't think you should be climbing the stairs.
00:28:32But I feel fine.
00:28:33What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:37But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:40You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:42That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:48Is that singing?
00:28:50I would know that voice anywhere.
00:28:52That's Mary.
00:28:53Your mother-in-law?
00:28:54What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:56Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:29:08Well, this must be it!
00:29:12Thank you, my good man.
00:29:17And you have a blessed day.
00:29:21And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:25Mary Watson, up to me that already.
00:29:30Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:34Would you be a dear and bring my thing to love?
00:29:43Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:44Where else would you expect me to be, oh, my little lamb?
00:29:48What?
00:29:48But didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:50I did.
00:29:51That's why I'm here.
00:29:51I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend, but I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:00I've missed you.
00:30:02Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:30:05Yes, it is.
00:30:06Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:07What?
00:30:08She's not a mushroom.
00:30:09She needs light.
00:30:11All right, let's sit up so I can get a good look.
00:30:14I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:30:15I'm getting her upright.
00:30:17If she stays in this bed too long, she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery much more painful.
00:30:23I think it's better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term.
00:30:26It's not going to hurt her to sit up.
00:30:29When you've delivered as many babies as I have, you learn a few things.
00:30:33Well, I've been to medical school for years and rest is the proper treatment.
00:30:37You don't learn everything in medical school.
00:30:40That is a matter of opinion and I wholeheartedly disagree.
00:30:43Ladies, I'm not a sack of flour.
00:30:46There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:58I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:03I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:07In a blizzard?
00:31:09Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:13Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:15Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:20That's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple.
00:31:25It is not a penalty.
00:31:27Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:29Well, I should probably get you up to your room, Annie.
00:31:32You let that little fella start running your life now, you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30.
00:31:38Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:41Believe? Nothing!
00:31:42It's a fact!
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:45Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:47I'm gonna go to bed.
00:31:48I can manage on my own.
00:31:52Good night, all.
00:31:54Good night, Annie.
00:31:55Rest well, dear.
00:31:56Good night, Annie.
00:31:57Good night, Annie.
00:32:02There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:04Well, I think it's time we all settle down.
00:32:06Huh?
00:32:07We have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:08Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:18Joshua, William told us that you came to her rescue.
00:32:22Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:23It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:25Thank you again.
00:32:29I'll walk you out.
00:32:38Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:45So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:49When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis, although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:55I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:58You can borrow it if you like.
00:32:59No, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:33:02Maybe you could read some of it to me, though, just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:07I could do that.
00:33:09Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:11Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:12We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:16I think I know just the place.
00:33:19Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:21I'm not spying on her.
00:33:23I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:37Let's see what you got there.
00:33:54Well, you're really improving.
00:33:58Thank you, sir.
00:34:00Trying my best to impress you.
00:34:01As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:07Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe, uh, Lillian and that.
00:34:14You want permission to court Lillian, right?
00:34:18Yes, sir.
00:34:20Well, I don't want to distract her from her goals.
00:34:23I promise I'll be respectful of her and not get in the way of her school.
00:34:25I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:28Well, I don't think about it.
00:34:31All right?
00:34:33I understand.
00:34:35Meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:38Lillian wants his order by noon.
00:34:40Yes, sir.
00:34:42You're going to be late opening your clinic.
00:34:44I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone,
00:34:47and I certainly don't feel comfortable with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:50You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:54Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:57You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:02I will be here with her all day.
00:35:06You tend to your patience, and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:12If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:18Praise the Lord, we're free.
00:35:26Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:28We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:33Oh, trip into town.
00:35:35Doc Owens, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:50I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store.
00:35:53Said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:55What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:56Doc, I feel terrible.
00:35:58This sickness, it's just getting worse.
00:36:00I'm dizzy all the time, and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:02That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:04Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:07What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you.
00:36:10Vegetables are the tonic.
00:36:11If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:14I tried to take the tonic.
00:36:16Really, I did.
00:36:17Even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:19And then Lloyd found it, and you know the rest.
00:36:22I certainly do.
00:36:23He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:24I'm sorry for that.
00:36:25Really, I am.
00:36:26He was just upset.
00:36:27He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:29He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:31Maybe, but I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:39Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:40Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:40Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:41Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:37:01Your friend Belinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:37:05I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:10She isn't happy.
00:37:12She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:14And Belinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:17Me showing up in my condition, apparently staying till the baby comes.
00:37:20I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:23Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:27If it's baby trouble she's got, I've surely got the cure.
00:37:32How about a sugary treat?
00:37:33I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:38It isn't here yet.
00:37:40It's been over a week.
00:37:41You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:43The freight line lost the shipping order.
00:37:45There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:47There's something I could do if there was another general store within ten miles of here.
00:37:51It'll be here within a week.
00:37:53I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:54What took you so long?
00:37:58I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:59There was a little bit of a line.
00:38:01There's always an excuse.
00:38:02Let's get out of here.
00:38:03I got fences to men before sundown.
00:38:10Oh, ma'am!
00:38:11Look at that, man.
00:38:13Ma'am?
00:38:15Ma'am?
00:38:16She's just feeling poorly at length.
00:38:18She's got a newborn and five young'uns.
00:38:20Says it wears her out.
00:38:22You think a mother doesn't work?
00:38:26I've seen this a bunch during and after pregnancy.
00:38:30This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:32She don't need coddling, lady.
00:38:33I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:36No, you don't.
00:38:38You are selfish and rude and contemptuous and you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:45Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:49She's dying.
00:38:52You get her over to the clinic and you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:38:58Don't talk to me like that.
00:38:59I'll talk to you anyway I want.
00:39:02Get her to the clinic.
00:39:03You better pray to the merciful and good Lord that she doesn't slam the door in your
00:39:15ungrateful face.
00:39:17Amen.
00:39:17Amen.
00:39:17Amen.
00:39:25Your home's dead now.
00:39:27I don't want to.
00:39:31I gave you a double dose so do not take any more today.
00:39:34No ma'am.
00:39:35Starting tomorrow morning take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:38And if you don't get your strength back in four days, get back in here.
00:39:46I'd like to apologize.
00:39:49Last time we spoke I lost my temper.
00:39:52What'll owe you for the tonic?
00:39:53Only that you allow her to keep taking it.
00:39:56You don't need no charity.
00:39:57The first one was already paid for.
00:39:58This is just a replacement.
00:40:01Step up.
00:40:19Yes dear.
00:40:21I'm sorry.
00:40:21You sleeping?
00:40:22Well not anymore.
00:40:25My apprentice wants to court Lillian.
00:40:28His name is Joshua.
00:40:32I told him I'd think about it.
00:40:35Well then think.
00:40:38Don't think too long.
00:40:40Lillian's grown up.
00:40:41I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:43You're having a hard time letting her grow up.
00:40:46I was trying to protect her.
00:40:48I don't think she needs protection from Joshua.
00:40:51He's a very nice young man.
00:40:53That's all you have to say about her?
00:40:56Good night sweetheart.
00:40:58All right.
00:41:05Tomorrow I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lillian.
00:41:08I think I don't know about your little excursion with Annie.
00:41:24This town is filled with gossips.
00:41:26Can't keep a secret for more than five minutes.
00:41:28It's a pretty little town, Sykeston.
00:41:31I can see why you like it here.
00:41:33May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie?
00:41:38I don't deliberately go against your word.
00:41:42We just disagree about how to treat her.
00:41:45This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:47If a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia, I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them.
00:41:53That's your business.
00:41:55Babies are my business.
00:41:57Have been for 30 years.
00:41:59It's just there's been so many new advancements.
00:42:02Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:42:05Annie may have a serious condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby.
00:42:09Are you sure?
00:42:09Of course I'm not sure, but I'm not taking any chances.
00:42:12So it's true what they say that doctors only practice medicine.
00:42:19This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:24So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:26Or, uh, or having trouble anyway.
00:42:29I don't think that's any of your concern.
00:42:31I see this problem a lot.
00:42:34If you want, I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:37I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:38Mary, I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
00:42:41So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:43You're too high strung.
00:42:45Folks worry too much about work, family, or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:51Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:55Then one day, they decide to stop trying.
00:42:57And before you know it, they find they're with child.
00:43:01So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:43:06Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:08Take some deep breath.
00:43:11And before you know it, I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:43:15I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:16Every baby boy needs his own blanket.
00:43:38Don't you agree?
00:43:39Yes, I do.
00:43:40I'm going to head to the shop for a few hours.
00:43:49I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:51Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:53Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:57I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:43:58We just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice.
00:44:01And I do.
00:44:01Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:44:03Jillian, you look lovely.
00:44:08Where are you headed off to?
00:44:10Joshua and I are having a picnic.
00:44:11You enjoy yourself.
00:44:13And please tell Joshua that we said hello.
00:44:15I will.
00:44:16You'll be back in time for supper now.
00:44:17No exceptions.
00:44:18I will.
00:44:19I promise.
00:44:21Bye, everyone.
00:44:22Bye, dear.
00:44:23Bye, dear.
00:44:23Bye, dear.
00:44:25Bye, dear.
00:44:27Bye, dear.
00:44:29Bye, dear.
00:44:31Bye, dear.
00:44:32I love it.
00:44:39The sea is everything.
00:44:40It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe.
00:44:42Its breath is pure and healthy.
00:44:44It is an immense desert where man is never lonely,
00:44:46for he feels life stirring on all sides.
00:44:49The sea is the only embodiment of the supernatural and wonderful existence.
00:44:53It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:55This is the living infinite, as one of your poets has said.
00:44:58I've been reading for almost two hours.
00:45:02You must be bored.
00:45:03I don't think I can ever get bored of listening to you talk.
00:45:06You're just saying that.
00:45:07No, I'm not.
00:45:09I swear.
00:45:10It's just, I'd like this Captain Nemo if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time.
00:45:15Well, I can't let them go and they might tell the world who he is.
00:45:18Twenty thousand leagues is an allegory.
00:45:19It's about personal freedom.
00:45:21Nemo means nobody in Latin.
00:45:22He's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:25You're brilliant.
00:45:26You know that?
00:45:27I am brilliant.
00:45:36Lee?
00:45:37You working today?
00:45:40You work harder than any man I know.
00:45:43Well, I can't let the customers down.
00:45:45Besides, it gives me thinking time.
00:45:47Anything that you'd like to share with your pastor?
00:45:51This is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble.
00:45:53Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:56Talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for.
00:46:00I just can't figure Lillian out.
00:46:03I'm trying to be a good father to her.
00:46:06Our children grow up, start spreading their wings.
00:46:10A father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child.
00:46:15Yeah.
00:46:16Belinda tolerates more than I do.
00:46:17She's a mother.
00:46:18The good Lord gave them the patience of Job when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:23He shortchanged fathers in that area.
00:46:26Yeah.
00:46:28Yeah.
00:46:28I really wish you would get some rest.
00:46:36I feel fine.
00:46:38Looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition.
00:46:41Perhaps.
00:46:42So if things improve with Lee, he says he isn't bothered, but I still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby.
00:46:52Well, maybe you're just being overly sensitive and you think that he's disappointed.
00:46:56Maybe.
00:46:57You know, I'm starting to think that maybe she regrets marrying me.
00:47:02Now, Lee, that is just plain nonsense.
00:47:05She's proud as a peacock that she married you.
00:47:08Maybe.
00:47:09Have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:11In a roundabout way.
00:47:13Of course, she says I'm wrong.
00:47:16Still, she seems kind of distant lately.
00:47:18She's got something on her mind.
00:47:20Most women do when they get like that.
00:47:22You know, we're, uh, trying to have a baby.
00:47:29So far, no luck.
00:47:30You have to have faith.
00:47:33Sometimes it's hard, River.
00:47:36Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:40I'd best be getting home.
00:47:42This is Dave, so give me an earful if I'm late for supper.
00:47:44Yeah, myself included.
00:47:52Well, I see.
00:47:54You didn't need my help putting supper on the table.
00:47:57You're taking a nap, man.
00:47:59We just wanted you to be able to rest.
00:48:00I'll rest enough when I'm dead.
00:48:03Give me that knife before you cut yourself.
00:48:12So, do you miss your family?
00:48:14I do.
00:48:16My pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania.
00:48:18He wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields.
00:48:22So, he said if I got good enough, maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia.
00:48:26Sounds like he cares about you a lot.
00:48:28Yeah, my family's pretty close.
00:48:31It's kind of strange, though.
00:48:33You know, being out here all by myself.
00:48:35I have three sisters and two brothers, and not a moment apiece.
00:48:38Back at the boarding house, I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:41I know what you mean.
00:48:42I mostly grew up in an orphanage until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was ten.
00:48:46I'd spent so long in a room with other kids, I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:52Now I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:54Yeah, me.
00:48:57Do, don't I?
00:49:00So, tell me something.
00:49:02How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:49:05I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day.
00:49:08That's so far off the main roads, no one really comes out here.
00:49:11So, I brought some of my old stuff, and now it's where I come to be alone.
00:49:17I can see why.
00:49:18Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape.
00:49:22This reminds me of it.
00:49:25Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:26I wouldn't do that.
00:49:28Whoa!
00:49:31Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:33You're probably right.
00:49:36I think it's best we pack up.
00:49:42Well, I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along.
00:49:45You know, her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed.
00:49:51Did you try it?
00:49:53Of course not.
00:49:54She's been doing this longer than we've been alive.
00:49:57I can't believe you, Annie Watson.
00:49:59You've spent three years in medical school, five years practicing medicine, and you're gonna
00:50:03believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:05It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:50:07Well, we ask people to believe in things they don't understand, and they do, because they
00:50:11have trust and faith in us, just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:50:15Okay, it is not the same thing, and we're talking about Mary here.
00:50:18Why do you have such a hard time believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:20Okay, Mary is a lovely woman, but you have to admit, she's a little touched on the head.
00:50:27She doesn't like me any more than I like her.
00:50:29Really?
00:50:30The other day at the general store, Mary defended you to the ends of the earth.
00:50:34What are you talking about?
00:50:36The man with the anemic wife?
00:50:38The one that you said was such a success story?
00:50:40Mary is the reason that he brought her back to you.
00:50:43That's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me?
00:50:46Mary unloaded on him like a tornado, spoke up for you, and just plain made him cower.
00:50:54I'm over.
00:50:55Let's go.
00:50:59Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:05Hi, Pa.
00:51:07You were supposed to be home for supper.
00:51:09Joshua and I weren't that hungry, so we decided to stay out a little while longer.
00:51:12Well, it's well past supper. That's more than a little while.
00:51:15Why are you so angry?
00:51:16I thought I could trust your judgment, but apparently I was wrong.
00:51:19What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:20It means you can't spend any more time with Joshua, Quoyle, until I say so.
00:51:24Go to school, help your mother at the clinic, and come straight home.
00:51:27For how long?
00:51:27As long as it takes me to trust you again.
00:51:29That's completely unfair.
00:51:31Joshua's only two years older than I am, and no one tells him what to do.
00:51:34No one said the world was fair, young lady.
00:51:37Lil.
00:51:38Lil.
00:51:41I was worried about you.
00:51:42Hello, Joshua.
00:51:55Good afternoon, man.
00:52:08Uh, Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:52:14I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:52:18You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:52:20She's old enough to know better.
00:52:22No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:23Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:25bandages.
00:52:27Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:32Pa said you couldn't go out with Joshua.
00:52:35He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other.
00:52:38Thanks, Ma.
00:52:39Well, I have work to do.
00:52:45It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:46There's always room open at the dinner table for you.
00:52:50Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:50I'm sorry to get you into trouble.
00:52:58You didn't do anything wrong, and neither did I.
00:53:00I'm a grown woman, and I don't need my pa deciding how late I can and can't stay out.
00:53:04He's just worried about you is all.
00:53:06Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:53:07There's no need to be crossed, Lillian.
00:53:09I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment.
00:53:11I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:14I wanted to return this.
00:53:16Finished it.
00:53:17Already?
00:53:18I just gave it to you.
00:53:19Once I got started, it was hard to quit.
00:53:22I mean, the sun was already up when I finally closed the book.
00:53:24So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:27Well, I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him.
00:53:33I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:35Me too.
00:53:49Mary?
00:53:52In here, dear.
00:54:05Annie, should you be up?
00:54:06Where are you going?
00:54:07I've decided to head on home.
00:54:11I can see you're in good hands.
00:54:13You're leaving?
00:54:15Before the baby comes?
00:54:17Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:20And besides, the last thing you need is an old granny midwife gumming up the works.
00:54:26This doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:31Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:34Truth is, I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:38I miss sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:41And my patients back home don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them.
00:54:47If you've made your decision, I can't stop you.
00:54:50I would really love for you to stay, though.
00:54:53I want my family here when the baby comes.
00:54:55Belinda is your family, sweetheart.
00:54:59And Peter will be back with you next week.
00:55:02Besides, all of you will be home before long, and somebody's got to get the house ready.
00:55:10I'm going to go home to check on Annie.
00:55:12I shouldn't be long.
00:55:13If there's an emergency, just send them my way or I'm running, which you're very good at.
00:55:18I will, Ma.
00:55:18And thank you.
00:55:19For what?
00:55:20For understanding about me and Joshua.
00:55:22Believe it or not, I was your age once.
00:55:37I'm not going to keep her from church social.
00:55:40You may not be able to go with her, but you'll see her there.
00:55:44In the meantime, we have an order to finish.
00:55:48All right, I like your attitude.
00:55:50You're leaving.
00:56:00Time for me to go home.
00:56:01I'm sorry to hear that.
00:56:03I'm going to see her off into town.
00:56:05Annie, I just don't think it's a good idea for you to be carrying luggage and walking into town.
00:56:09It was my idea, Belinda.
00:56:10And I've been all over this whole territory through my entire pregnancy.
00:56:14I think I can handle a short walk into town.
00:56:15Doc Owens!
00:56:20Danny.
00:56:23Lillian told me he was here.
00:56:24Ma's in labor.
00:56:25Okay, there's a horse and buggy in the barn.
00:56:27Help me hook it up.
00:56:28Yes, ma'am.
00:56:28I trust you weren't walking to town while I'm away.
00:56:35All right, Peach Pie.
00:56:37You get back in the house and stay put.
00:56:40Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:42Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:45If you find you don't need me, you have my permission to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:50But if you do, I'm there.
00:56:55Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you.
00:57:08Thank you, young man.
00:57:14It's never taken this long.
00:57:16The first few hours seemed normal, but then it just stopped.
00:57:18What stopped?
00:57:19The contractions?
00:57:19No, Doc, the baby.
00:57:21It's like it's stuck, but I can't see the head.
00:57:23I'll see to her.
00:57:24Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:28It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:30A what?
00:57:31The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:32What are you fixing to do with that?
00:57:34We have to get the baby out before it suffocates.
00:57:36We start pulling.
00:57:38We could make things worse.
00:57:40What should we do?
00:57:41Well, if you can't get the baby out from the inside,
00:57:45you'd try it from the outside.
00:57:48All right, help me with her now.
00:57:50That's good.
00:57:51What are we doing?
00:57:52We're gonna flatten out her hip bones.
00:57:57Travis, lay down for me.
00:57:59There.
00:57:59Now, we're gonna see you're stuck and who's not.
00:58:03It's gonna be all right.
00:58:16It's gonna be all right.
00:58:30Pa?
00:58:31Pa?
00:58:32Pa?
00:58:33Pa?
00:58:34Pa?
00:58:35Pa?
00:58:36Hello, Joshua.
00:58:37Where's my pa?
00:58:38He's on delivery.
00:58:47Man headed home.
00:58:49I'd sure like to go to the ice cream social.
00:58:52I'd sure like to ask you to go with me.
00:58:54So?
00:58:55Your pa said I could see you there, but I can't escort you.
00:59:01I'm sorry.
00:59:02I'm sorry.
00:59:02It's gonna be all right.
00:59:03Let's go.
00:59:03Let's go.
00:59:20Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:24We were late coming home, okay?
00:59:26Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:28What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:30We got home just fine.
00:59:31He just doesn't trust me.
00:59:33Your pa had no way of knowing whether you were all right
00:59:35when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:36You sound just like pa.
00:59:38Ma is the only one who understands.
00:59:41Lillian, wait a second.
00:59:50It's a beautiful baby boy, and your wife is fine.
01:00:14Can I see them?
01:00:15Shortly.
01:00:20Well, looks like we got ourselves a baby brother.
01:00:28Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:30He sure is.
01:00:33He better be.
01:00:35Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:38Uh, that's not doctor's will.
01:00:52It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:59I learned something today that they didn't teach me medical school.
01:01:02I learned something today.
01:01:32All right.
01:01:46Whoa.
01:01:47Whoa.
01:01:55Whoa.
01:01:56Whoa.
01:01:59You seen Lillian?
01:02:01No.
01:02:01Why?
01:02:02Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:03She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:05We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens, and she stormed off.
01:02:08Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:10We were hoping she'd run off to find you.
01:02:12She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:15It's about to get dark outside.
01:02:16She gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:19I think I know where she is.
01:02:20It's worse this time.
01:02:40I feel like I could faint.
01:02:42Okay, okay, let's get her inside.
01:02:45It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:47I know where she is.
01:02:49Uh, I know where she's going.
01:02:51It looks like she's going to get back to her.
01:02:52Yeah.
01:02:53It looks like she was going to be all over.
01:02:54It looks like that she had to be ready for her.
01:02:56That's it.
01:02:56What's the night?
01:02:56Yeah.
01:02:57Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:02:57How much further?
01:03:23It's just up ahead.
01:03:27How are you feeling?
01:03:34I'm really not as lighted as before.
01:03:37I like to just go to bed.
01:03:39Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:42Doctor's orders.
01:03:53Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:03:57Was it like this before?
01:04:20No, sir. Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:23She might be hurt.
01:04:26This is one of her lamps.
01:04:28Come on. Let's go.
01:04:29Lil!
01:04:31Lil!
01:04:40It's right up there.
01:04:42I see her.
01:04:45Lil!
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:50Give me a hand with this.
01:04:52One, two, three!
01:04:57You got it!
01:04:59Lil!
01:05:01Lil!
01:05:02Lil!
01:05:03Come on. Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:11Pa?
01:05:12Yeah.
01:05:14I'm here, honey.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:18Just stay down, alright?
01:05:22I'm gonna get you out of here.
01:05:23Okay.
01:05:24How's Lillian?
01:05:34Oh.
01:05:37How's Lillian?
01:05:38A few cuts and bruises but...
01:05:41nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:44How's Lillian?
01:05:46A few got some bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:55She's out for the night.
01:05:57Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:59Give her a couple of days.
01:06:01She'll be right as rain.
01:06:02At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:06Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:10This too shall pass.
01:06:11The children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:18True miracles.
01:06:19Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:22I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:25Give it up if you want.
01:06:27But I'm telling you, the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:34You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:36It doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38It only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What do you mean?
01:06:40Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:45It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:49I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:52You didn't deserve it.
01:06:54The Lord says we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:07:00Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning and all is forgiven.
01:07:05That's a promise.
01:07:10Late night tonight.
01:07:17Everyone's worn out.
01:07:19A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:21A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:23You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really?
01:07:35You never read in bed.
01:07:37I think it'll do me good.
01:07:39Help me unwind after the long day we've all had.
01:07:41Hmm.
01:07:47Doc.
01:07:50I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:53Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:57And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:08:00You need a good home.
01:08:01You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of our home?
01:08:04I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:08Always have been.
01:08:09Always will be.
01:08:13Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:18Yeah.
01:08:19Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:21I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:28I love you, too.
01:08:30Good night.
01:08:32Oh, all right.
01:08:33You can read your book now?
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:37All right.
01:08:40I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:45I'm sure I can't help you read it, or no.
01:08:50All right.
01:09:01Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:09:03My ball and chain let me come downstairs.
01:09:06She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:09What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:13You are not going to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor.
01:09:17I vote yes.
01:09:17Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:22I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:28I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:29I'm going to have to side with the midwife.
01:09:31But I love ice cream.
01:09:32Then I'll send you some.
01:09:34It's not the same.
01:09:35How do I know you're not going to sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:37Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:39This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:45That's right.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:09:47Don't you look beautiful.
01:10:03Except for this.
01:10:04I don't know.
01:10:04We'll even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua.
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua you can escort me to the social.
01:10:12You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:10:14And I told him I wanted to walk in with my family and see him from afar.
01:10:17That's very romantic.
01:10:19Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:22Pa.
01:10:24I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:28Oh, no, you were just worried about me.
01:10:29Don't worry about it.
01:10:32You're growing up so fast sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:36Thanks, Pa.
01:10:37Come here.
01:10:44Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:05No, thank you.
01:11:06No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:07Hey, partner.
01:11:15How'd your ice cream?
01:11:17Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:19What?
01:11:20I believe you know my husband Lee.
01:11:23Lord, I want to thank you.
01:11:26Mabel's as different as night and day.
01:11:28It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:30Well, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:32I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:34I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:36I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:37Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:43It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I, uh, mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:51Thanks again, Doc.
01:11:52It was my pleasure.
01:11:54And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:58I had no right to be crossed with you when you needed my help.
01:12:01I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:02There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:05Have a good day.
01:12:11Wow.
01:12:12That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17You like some ice cream?
01:12:18I'd love some.
01:12:19I got Lee's telegram.
01:12:38Where's Annie?
01:12:39The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:43I need Belinda now.
01:12:45I want to see Annie.
01:12:47Get Belinda now.
01:12:53You look beautiful.
01:12:55Say that you look handsome.
01:12:59I still can't believe it.
01:13:01Can't believe what?
01:13:03That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:06It's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:10Yeah.
01:13:11Yeah.
01:13:11Sounds like it's my best.
01:13:13Lillian's got a boyfriend, Lillian's got a boyfriend, Lillian's got a boyfriend, Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:30Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:32Melinda, stop going, I need you.
01:13:46Whoa, whoa.
01:13:50Melinda, it's Annie, you gotta come quick.
01:13:54Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:58Yeah, yeah.
01:13:59Stand back.
01:14:00Dog, get out of here.
01:14:08Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:10She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete, I'm the best way down here.
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:19Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:36Amen.
01:14:37Amen.
01:14:39Thank you, Lee.
01:14:40You're welcome.
01:14:41Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:56Peter.
01:14:57He's waiting downstairs.
01:15:00Right.
01:15:01I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:23What did she mean?
01:15:38You know what has to be done.
01:15:40That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:43Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:45That baby is ready.
01:15:47She was talking about a cesarean delivery, which I could do at the clinic, but under very crude conditions.
01:15:55Have you ever done one?
01:15:56I did one once at a hospital in Boston, but I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:02And there wasn't a clamsy involved.
01:16:04Is there no other choice?
01:16:05Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:10Well then, we best get that labor going.
01:16:15Here, here.
01:16:19What is that?
01:16:21Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:24Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:26Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:27A weed the good Lord made.
01:16:31His wonders to perceive.
01:16:32Does it work?
01:16:33Sure as the sunrise.
01:16:35A little of this, and we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:45Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:47A glass of water.
01:17:05Our temperature is slightly raised, but our heartbeat and our breathing are normal.
01:17:28No contractions yet.
01:17:29It doesn't seem to be working.
01:17:32It's never taken this long.
01:17:34Let's just give it a little more time.
01:17:37We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:39Do you have everything here that you need to do a caesarean delivery?
01:17:50How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:53I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:58Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, thank you.
01:18:15Any news?
01:18:16Nothing yet.
01:18:18I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:20I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:20You're doing fine, Annie.
01:18:41Just keep breathing.
01:18:42Contractions.
01:18:48Closer together.
01:18:49We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:54It's all right.
01:18:54It's all right.
01:18:55Good job.
01:18:56Keep breathing.
01:18:57Good.
01:18:57Good.
01:18:58Good.
01:18:58Help!
01:19:22Congratulations, Uncle Ado.
01:19:29She's so beautiful.
01:19:32I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this perfect.
01:19:38And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:41I thought she was a boy.
01:19:44She carried like a boy.
01:19:47We live and learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:48We sure do.
01:19:50Thank you both for being here.
01:19:52There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:58Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:05Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:13Can I hold her?
01:20:16Come sit.
01:20:28Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:49How about your present?
01:20:50Present?
01:20:53These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:54Well, when I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:20:59Well, the way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:03Oh, you think so?
01:21:07I should probably get going.
01:21:09Okay.
01:21:10Will I see you later?
01:21:12Sure as this is one fine day.
01:21:14Come on, come on, help me out of here.
01:21:17Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:31I'm coming.
01:21:34Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:40May we always strive to walk the way you like and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:47Amen.
01:21:58Hey, are you all right?
01:21:59I'm fine.
01:22:00Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:02I've gotten so used to you being at the house, it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:06Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:10I think it's time we go home.
01:22:11I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:13And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:21What are you doing out of here?
01:22:22Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:25You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:26Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:31Let's enjoy her what we can.
01:22:32Thank you very much, Lee.
01:22:43It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:45And Belinda, I can never thank you enough.
01:22:48Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:51This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:56I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:58Me too.
01:23:00All aboard, folks!
01:23:01We're burning daylight!
01:23:02I think it's about that time.
01:23:05Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:06Of course.
01:23:08I thought you'd do.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:19All right, take her easy there.
01:23:42Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:46How do I think you're married?
01:23:47Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:53I learned a lot from you.
01:23:55And I from you.
01:23:57I may bring them into the world,
01:23:58but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:02Now, if you ever need a good midwife,
01:24:06you know where to find me.
01:24:07Oh.
01:24:07Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:24All right.
01:24:26Here we go.
01:24:26Oh, wait a minute.
01:24:27One, two, three.
01:24:28Easy.
01:24:28Oh.
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:34Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:37I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:40Yes, ma'am.
01:24:41Yeah, get out.
01:24:43Get.
01:24:44Where are you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:00Oh, she's telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:03What do you mean?
01:25:09Mm-hmm.
01:25:12Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one,
01:25:17especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey.
01:25:24We're going to have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:28We're going to have a baby.
01:25:29Lily and Owens,
01:25:32you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:34Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:36Yes, ma'am.
01:25:39Joshua Coyle,
01:25:40don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:41You've got a job to do.
01:25:43Yes, ma'am.
01:25:47I've got patients to attend to
01:25:48and baby plans to make.
01:25:53Now, wait up.
01:25:55Now, wait up a bit.
01:25:56How far along are you?
01:26:01Man, I'm serious.
01:26:03Well, we've got to start talking about nature.
01:26:06I mean, I like leave for a boy.
01:26:08Oh, you think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:09Or, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
01:26:12What do you think?
01:26:12Oh, that's very funny.
01:26:14Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:16What do you think?
01:26:17All right, I'll hold on.
01:26:18I'll get the floor for you.
01:26:19Oh, leave.
01:26:19My goodness.
01:26:20Take it easy.
01:26:21Stop it.
