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 a free jump.
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.
00:01:32Open your mouth, please.
00:01:39Cums are very pale, Mabel.
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.
00:02:10He just don't trust doctors.
00:02:12Not since his sister died.
00:02:14Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:17There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:20Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:23He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33I take two spoonfuls twice a day and 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.
00:02:57Hello, Lee.
00:02:58Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59You eating 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.
00:03:18I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:21Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:32I'm sorry your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:47I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:50Why 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.
00:03:56Tell her all you are with that medicine.
00:04:01I will, absolutely.
00:04:02Very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:05No, you take care of yourself.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:08All right, pal.
00:04:09Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:13I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:20That's a perfect style.
00:04:22Here it comes.
00:04:23Easy.
00:04:24Hey!
00:04:25Settle down now.
00:04:26Settle.
00:04:27Settle.
00:04:28Easy now.
00:04:29I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:42Come on.
00:04:43Come on.
00:04:44Come on.
00:04:45Come on.
00:04:46Come on.
00:04:47Come on.
00:04:49Come on.
00:04:50Come on.
00:04:53Come on.
00:04:56Aunt Annie's here.
00:05:00Aunt Annie!
00:05:01Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:05She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:07Sure.
00:05:08She looks very round.
00:05:10I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:12Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15If anyone treats me like a China doll, I'm not going to break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:21Me too.
00:05:23I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:27I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having a baby, but we need the money.
00:05:33I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:35But you're mine at ease, Pete.
00:05:36We're happy to have her.
00:05:37My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:40But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:43And we're so glad you did.
00:05:45How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:47Broken bones and bee stings, anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:52The town loves Mom.
00:05:53They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:59Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee will help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:10Nice out.
00:06:19It's good having Annie here.
00:06:21It is.
00:06:23She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:25I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:28Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:31I'm right here.
00:06:32Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:34I'm just tired.
00:06:36You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:40What's wrong?
00:06:41I'm not pregnant.
00:06:43Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:45We've tried for so long.
00:06:47We have more than we can handle it, Lill.
00:06:49Oh, I know, but it's just that when Annie found out the news, it made me want a baby of
00:06:57her own even more.
00:07:00Now that she's staying with us.
00:07:04No.
00:07:08We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:12All good things come in God's time, and maybe we should just let him decide.
00:07:18What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:29Hey.
00:07:31Come on.
00:07:33Let's go help Lill finish the dishes.
00:07:35Hmm?
00:07:48I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:51Peter, please be careful.
00:07:52Yes.
00:07:53My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:57I love you.
00:07:58I love you, too.
00:08:03Bye, ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05Will do.
00:08:08Step up!
00:08:08Boy, are you all right?
00:08:20I don't know.
00:08:22Ha!
00:08:23Oh, no!
00:08:25No!
00:08:25No!
00:08:27Oh, please!
00:08:30Oh, oh, oh.
00:08:33Easy.
00:08:33Well, it's time, isn't it?
00:08:38Get in the bags.
00:08:39Got it.
00:08:40Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:43Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Oh.
00:08:44How's it going to be for you?
00:08:46How's the trip?
00:08:48Good job.
00:08:56You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Hey, Owens.
00:09:00Welcome, Saxon.
00:09:02How's your trip?
00:09:03Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:05Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:07Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:10Well, Saxon's a nice little town.
00:09:12I hope you like it.
00:09:13I expect so.
00:09:14Can I help you with your things?
00:09:16Don't have much.
00:09:18All right.
00:09:19Come on, let me show you the shop.
00:09:20Sounds good.
00:09:23So, we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:26Livery work and rolling stock.
00:09:29Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:32Now, when your blows are even and you can work a straight piece of metal, those will be your tools.
00:09:37It's hard work.
00:09:39But you managed to make something that lasts a generation or two.
00:09:42Well, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:44I reckon that's true.
00:09:46Well, what do you say?
00:09:48You ready to get started?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50All right, then.
00:09:55How was your walk?
00:10:01Are you carrying around a 30-pound sack of flour?
00:10:05Slow day?
00:10:06Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through Selena last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:17It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:20I haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months.
00:10:23You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:27It's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:32And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:36That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:39Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:42You can tell me anything.
00:10:43You know that.
00:10:46Oh!
00:10:46What is it?
00:10:50It's a quick, sharp pain and shortness of breath and minor faintness.
00:10:55Let's get you to an examination.
00:10:56It's not necessary.
00:10:58Is the baby moving?
00:10:59It isn't that.
00:11:02It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:04Let me finish some things up and we'll get you home.
00:11:06You know, my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:18Well, lately I've been riding.
00:11:20You walking to my camp?
00:11:21No.
00:11:22No.
00:11:23I ain't got a horse to give to Little Ant.
00:11:26But he's still a little green.
00:11:28Pesty.
00:11:29I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:33Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:35I know nothing of saddle horses.
00:11:38Only harness, bro.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:41You'd better pour it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:47What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:51And that's coming from the doctor and me.
00:11:53When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:55My mother-in-law.
00:11:56She's a midwife.
00:11:57Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:11:59It's a doctor's job, after all.
00:12:01I'm sure it's going to be fine.
00:12:05Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:13And you must be Joshua.
00:12:17Welcome to her home.
00:12:18Very nice to meet you, Mrs. Owens.
00:12:20Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:23You're a doctor?
00:12:24Yes.
00:12:24As is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:27It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:28Ma'am.
00:12:29It's funny.
00:12:31I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:34Allowed?
00:12:35No, I just...
00:12:35And just who would we need permission from?
00:12:37But go easy on him, Lil.
00:12:38He just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:43Apparently not.
00:12:48That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:52Oh, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:12:59Smells like my favorite.
00:13:01Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:04Indeed.
00:13:17Miss Owens?
00:13:19Mr. Coyle?
00:13:20I just want you to know...
00:13:23I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:27I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:30Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:34I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:36Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:38They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:40A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:42I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:45I swear.
00:13:46It's just...
00:13:48Well...
00:13:49I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:51I'm apologizing.
00:13:53I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:56Apology accepted.
00:14:01I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:03Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:05So you read for fun?
00:14:06I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:10Well, all right.
00:14:11I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:17Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:18Good night.
00:14:19Good night.
00:14:19Good night.
00:14:33Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:38Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:41Good night, Pa.
00:14:56Come in.
00:15:00How are you?
00:15:01I feel fine.
00:15:04What do you think you're doing?
00:15:05What do you think you're doing?
00:15:06I feel like you're doing something.
00:15:07What do you think you're doing?
00:15:27What's your doing?
00:15:32Is that me?
00:15:33He's back.
00:15:34This is...
00:15:35He's dying.
00:15:48What is...
00:15:50What is the name?
00:15:52It's nothing.
00:15:53It's nothing.
00:15:59It's nothing.
00:16:03It's nothing.
00:16:33It's nothing.
00:17:03It's nothing.
00:17:34Let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:37Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38Well, Amanda, I'll wire her as a mother.
00:17:41You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:47Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:50Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:54To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:55I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:58I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:59But I am your doctor, and this is my home, and if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:05Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:06Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:07Perhaps.
00:18:08But if I'm not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:09I love you.
00:18:11I love you, too.
00:18:21Prepare for my peach.
00:18:22Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:28No, you just run along to school.
00:18:30I'll post a note on the clinic, and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:34Morning, ladies.
00:18:35Morning.
00:18:37Bye, ma.
00:18:38Have a good day, darling.
00:18:39Bye, ma.
00:18:39Bye.
00:18:41That girl kicks up a cloud of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:45Here you go.
00:18:49Is this your way of telling me not to come home for supper?
00:18:51The other one is for Joshua.
00:18:53A young man just starting off looked like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:57Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:59Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:19:02I love you, too, Lee Owens.
00:19:07Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:09All right.
00:19:11Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:21Belinda feels Annie's health, as well as the baby's, is better served staying here until after the delivery.
00:19:30I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:33That's what I said.
00:19:44Dr. Olsen.
00:19:45Mr. McQueen.
00:19:46I'm sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment...
00:19:49Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:51Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:53Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:58Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:20:00Give her that medicine.
00:20:02I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:03A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:20:06I don't know the details of your sister's death, but there's no magic to it.
00:20:11Your wife had a baby a month ago, and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:20:15Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed, you would realize that.
00:20:18Now, my advice...
00:20:19I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:23Doctors don't work up.
00:20:24Who's the holler?
00:20:28Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:31Yes, I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:35Roy McQueen is truly set in his ways, but he's still a child of our maker.
00:20:40He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:42Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times,
00:20:45and the sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:49There I go preaching again.
00:20:50Oh, it's all right.
00:20:52I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:54I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:56Good day.
00:20:56Good day.
00:20:58That's it.
00:21:09Steady blows.
00:21:10All right.
00:21:16Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:18Must run in the family.
00:21:19I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted.
00:21:27Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:28Really?
00:21:29Huh.
00:21:30I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs....
00:21:33I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:36Is that a fact?
00:21:38Yeah, I mean, it's just...
00:21:40Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:41Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:43I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:58Doctor's orders.
00:22:00Even if you don't feel up to it, you need to finish the entire bowl.
00:22:03I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:22:05And I'm a doctor.
00:22:06I think I know what's best for me.
00:22:08Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:12Is that another contraction?
00:22:14No, the baby's just kicking.
00:22:17And I have to tell you, I'm a little relieved.
00:22:19I haven't felt a move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:21You just said it was...
00:22:23He?
00:22:24How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:26I know it sounds silly, but...
00:22:28Mary thinks because I'm carrying so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:31It is silly.
00:22:32That's an old wives' tale.
00:22:33There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:35Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant,
00:22:38Mary was concerned because she was carrying so far out in front.
00:22:41She said it would be a breached birth, and she was right.
00:22:44One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:47Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:50Do you want to feel?
00:22:51That's all right.
00:22:53Come on, Belinda.
00:22:54Don't be nervous.
00:22:59It's so strange.
00:23:01I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:03You know, it suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:10I'm sorry.
00:23:12I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:23:14Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
00:23:16You know, I know so many women that have gotten pregnant without even trying.
00:23:20And Lee and I have been trying.
00:23:23We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:25You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:26I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:31She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:35It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:36I think it's important to you.
00:23:37I think it's important to you.
00:23:38I think it's important to you.
00:23:39I think it's important to you, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:41Let's get supper ready.
00:23:43Lee and Lilian will be home soon.
00:23:46I'm here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:47Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:24:04I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:12I just looked in on Annie.
00:24:14She's out for the night.
00:24:16She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:20I think I've heard that before.
00:24:24You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:28I suppose that's why we're such good friends.
00:24:32I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:35I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Mel.
00:24:37I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:41Why not? He's only a couple years older.
00:24:44Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith. I want better for Lillian.
00:24:47I'm the wife of a blacksmith and you don't hear me complaining.
00:24:51I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:55You could have done much better.
00:24:56You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:59I married you because I fell in love with you, Leon.
00:25:01And if Lillian and Joshua had taken an interest in one another, I don't think it's our place to stand in their way.
00:25:08Besides, telling Lillian she can't have somethings.
00:25:11Like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:13I get your point.
00:25:18I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:21Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:26And if Lillian wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:30I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:32I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:40It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:42Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:44You go ahead. I'll be up in a little while.
00:26:02Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:26:09Please allow me to pass.
00:26:11We need to get to know each other.
00:26:15I think not.
00:26:16I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:18I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:21Excuse me.
00:26:23You mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:25This ain't none of your affairs, sod buster.
00:26:27Ah, but it is.
00:26:28It ain't.
00:26:32Knock your head off, boy.
00:26:36Now, you hold on a second.
00:26:38Now, the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:40Now, I only have two.
00:26:41So, after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:50That 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. Please don't break.
00:26:57I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:59No, never.
00:27:00Good.
00:27:00Good. Now, get.
00:27:13Good morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:14You on your way to school?
00:27:16Indeed I am.
00:27:18May I walk with you?
00:27:19Good.
00:27:19I did the best I could, Jim, but you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:43Your boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:45He lives and breathes work.
00:27:48Ma says sometimes he rolls over to sleep and tries to use her arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:52I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:54That's like a bad life, really.
00:27:55What about you?
00:28:00I'm a doctor like your mom?
00:28:03I don't know.
00:28:05I haven't decided.
00:28:07Maybe 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.
00:28:15Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:18You too, Lily.
00:28:23I don't think you should be climbing the stairs, but I feel fine.
00:28:34What'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.
00:28:43That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:48Is that singing?
00:28:50I wouldn't know that voice anywhere.
00:28:53That's Mary.
00:28:54Your mother-in-law?
00:28:55What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:56Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:29:04Well, this must be it!
00:29:15Oh, jeez.
00:29:16Thank you, my good man, and you have a blessed day.
00:29:22And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:26Thank you, Mary Watson.
00:29:29Oh, she knew that already.
00:29:31Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:34Would you be a dear and bring my thing along?
00:29:43Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:45Where else would you expect me to be, oh, my little lamb?
00:29:49But didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:51I did.
00:29:51That's why I'm here.
00:29:52I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend, but I certainly wasn't
00:29:57going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:01I've missed you.
00:30:03Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:30:05Yes, it is.
00:30:06Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:08What?
00:30:08She's not a mushroom.
00:30:10She needs light.
00:30:11All right, let's sit up so I can get a good look.
00:30:15I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:30:16I'm getting her upright.
00:30:18If she stays in this bed too long, she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery
00:30:22much more painful.
00:30:23I think it's better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term.
00:30:27It'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.
00:30:41That is a matter of opinion and I wholeheartedly disagree.
00:30:44Ladies, I'm not a sack of flour.
00:30:53There 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.
00:31:08And a blizzard.
00:31:09The little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:14Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:17Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:21That's the penalty we pay for eating the apple.
00:31:26It is not a penalty.
00:31:27Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:30Well, 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.
00:31:39Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:41Believe? Nothing.
00:31:43It's a fact.
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't cause...
00:31:46Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:48I'm going to go to bed.
00:31:51I can manage on my own.
00:31:53Good night, all.
00:31:55Good night, Annie.
00:31:55Rest well, dear.
00:31:57Good night, Annie.
00:31:58Good night, Annie.
00:31:59Good night, Annie.
00:31:59Good night, Annie.
00:32:02There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:05Well, I think it's time we all settle down, huh?
00:32:07We'll have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:15Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:18Joshua, William told us that she came to her rescue.
00:32:22Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:24It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:25Thank you again.
00:32:26Aren'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.
00:32:54I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:58You can borrow it if you like.
00:33:00No, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:33:03Maybe you could read some of it to me, though.
00:33:05Just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:08I could do that.
00:33:09Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:12Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:13We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:17I think I know just the place.
00:33:20Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:22I'm not spying on her.
00:33:23I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:38Right behind the library.
00:33:41Way too fast.
00:33:45Oh, it needs a toddler, Ben.
00:33:47See what you got there.
00:33:55Well, you're, uh, really improving.
00:33:59Thank you, sir.
00:34:00Trying my best to impress you here.
00:34:03As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:05Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe, uh, Lillian and that.
00:34:15Do you want permission to court Lillian, right?
00:34:19Yes, 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.
00:34:26I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:28Well, I'll think about it, all right?
00:34:32I understand.
00:34:35Meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:39Lillian wants his order by noon.
00:34:41Yes, sir.
00:34:42You're going to be late opening your clinic.
00:34:45I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone,
00:34:48and I certainly don't feel comfortable with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:51You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:56Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:57You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:03I will be here with her all day.
00:35:07You tend to your patience, and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:09If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:23Praise the Lord, they're free.
00:35:26Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:29We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:34Get to town.
00:35:35Doc Owens, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:51I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store.
00:35:54Said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:56What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:57Doc, 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.
00:36:03That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:05Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:08What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you.
00:36:11Vegetables are the tonic.
00:36:12If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:15I 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.
00:36:23I certainly do.
00:36:24He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:25I'm sorry for that.
00:36:26Really, I am.
00:36:27He was just upset.
00:36:28He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:30He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:31Maybe, but I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:40Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:41your friend melinda doesn't seem too happy i'd say it's just that she doesn't like me but
00:37:07everybody likes me she isn't happy she's been trying to have a baby and belinda just feels
00:37:16discouraged me showing up in my condition and staying till the baby comes i think it's just
00:37:22another painful reminder why didn't you say something sooner if it's baby trouble she's got
00:37:29i've surely got the cure how about a sugary treat

00:38:32she don't need coddling lady i know how to take care of my wife no you don't you are selfish
00:38:40and rude and contemptuous and you can't see the forest for the trees doc owens is trying to save
00:38:48your wife's life she's dying you get her over to the clinic and you beg doc owens for more of that
00:38:58don't talk to me like that i'll talk to you anyway i won't get her to the clinic
00:39:04you better pray to the merciful and good lord that she doesn't slam the door in your ungrateful face
00:39:17give you a double dose so do not take any more today no ma'am starting tomorrow morning take two
00:39:37teaspoons every morning and if you don't get your strength back in four days get back in here
00:39:41i would like to apologize last time we spoke i lost my temper
00:39:51what do i owe you for the tonic only that you allow her to keep taking it
00:39:56you don't need no charity the first one was already paid for this is just a replacement
00:40:00step up
00:40:07yes dear i'm sorry you're sleeping well not anymore
00:40:24my apprentice wants to court lillian his name is joshua i told him i think about it
00:40:35oh you didn't think don't think too long lillian's grown up i'm having a hard time with it
00:40:43you're having a hard time letting her grow up just try to protect her i don't think she needs
00:40:49protection from joshua he's a very nice young man that's all you have to say about it
00:40:55good night sweetheart
00:40:58all right tomorrow i'll give joshua my permission to court lill
00:41:09i think i don't know about your little excursion with annie this town is filled with gossips
00:41:26can't keep a secret for more than five minutes it's a pretty little town sykeston i can see why
00:41:32you like it here may 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 we just disagree about how to treat her this isn't a
00:41:46competition mary if a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia i wouldn't dream of telling
00:41:52you how to treat them that's your business babies are my business have been for 30 years it's just
00:42:00there's been so many new advancements sometimes the old ways are best annie may have a serious
00:42:06condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby are you sure of course i'm not sure but i'm
00:42:11not taking any chances so it's true what they say that doctors only practice medicine
00:42:17this conversation obviously isn't going to be sitting
00:42:22so annie tells me you're barren or uh or having trouble anyway i don't think that's any of your concern
00:42:31i see this problem a lot if you want i could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work
00:42:37i know how it's done mary i don't think there's anything wrong with you so what do you think is
00:42:43the problem you're too high strung folks worry too much about work family or whether or not they can
00:42:50have a baby then years go by and nothing happens then one day they decide to stop trying and before
00:42:58you know it they find they're with child so your sage advice for me is to relax read a book before you're
00:43:07to bed take some deep breath and before you know it i'll be back to deliver your little one
00:43:15every baby boy needs his own blanket don't you agree yes i do
00:43:41i'm gonna head to the shop for a few hours i'll be back in time for supper
00:43:51don't you ever take time off oh the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to
00:43:57eat i ain't got a lot of work to do we just thought you'd have more time off once you hired
00:44:00an apprentice and i do now i'm only two weeks behind instead of six
00:44:04jillian you look lovely where are you headed off to joshua and i are having a picnic
00:44:12you enjoy yourself and please tell joshua that we said hello i will you be back in time for supper
00:44:18now no exceptions i will i promise bye everyone bye dear
00:44:24i love it the sea is everything it covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe
00:44:42its breath is pure and healthy it is an immense desert where man is never lonely for he feels
00:44:47life stirring on all sides the sea is the only embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful
00:44:52existence it is nothing but love and emotion this living infinite as one of your poets has said
00:44:58i've been reading for almost two hours you must be bored
00:45:03no i don't think i can ever get bored listening to you talk
00:45:06you're just saying that no i'm not i swear it's just i'd like this captain nemo if he weren't holding
00:45:14his friends hostage all the time well i can't let them go and they might tell the world who he is
00:45:17twenty thousand leagues is an allegory it's about personal freedom nemo means nobody in latin and
00:45:23he's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way you're brilliant you know that i am not
00:45:29you work harder now besides it gives me thinking time anything that you'd like to share with your pastor
00:45:44this is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble sometimes it helps to speak it out loud
00:45:51talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for i just can't figure lillian out
00:45:56trying to be a good father to her but our children grow up start spreading their wings
00:46:03the father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child yeah belinda tolerates more than i do
00:46:12she's a mother the good lord gave them the patience of joe when it comes to raising their children
00:46:17he shortchanged fathers in that area yeah yeah
00:46:23i really wish you would get some rest i feel fine looks like someone may have been wrong about my
00:46:35condition perhaps
00:46:37so if things improve with lee he says he isn't bothered but
00:46:43i still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby well maybe you're just being overly
00:46:49sensitive and you think that he's disappointed maybe you know i'm starting to think that maybe
00:46:54she regrets marrying me now lee that is just plain nonsense she's proud as a peacock that she married
00:47:02you maybe have you spoken to her about it in a roundabout way of course she says i'm wrong
00:47:09still she seems kind of distant lately she's got something on her mind
00:47:14most women do when they get like that
00:47:16you know we're uh
00:47:19trying to have a baby
00:47:22so far no luck
00:47:24you have to have faith
00:47:26sometimes it's hard river
00:47:29talk to her about your feelings
00:47:32i'd best be getting home
00:47:36this is dave so give me an earful if i'm late for supper
00:47:39and myself included
00:47:40well i see
00:47:48you didn't need my help putting supper on the table
00:47:52you're taking a nap man we just wanted you to be able to rest
00:47:55i'll rest enough when i'm dead
00:47:56give me that knife before you cut yourself
00:48:01so do you miss your family
00:48:08i do
00:48:10my pa's a farmer back in pennsylvania
00:48:12you wanted more for me than to spend my entire life plowing fields
00:48:16so i said if i got good enough maybe i can find some work in philadelphia
00:48:20sounds like he cares about you a lot
00:48:22yeah my family's pretty close
00:48:24it's kind of strange though
00:48:27you know being out here all by myself
00:48:30i have three sisters and two brothers and not a moment of peace
00:48:33back at the boarding house i got nothing but quiet
00:48:35i know what you mean
00:48:36i mostly grew up in an orphanage until ma and pa adopted me when i was ten
00:48:41i'd spent so long in a room with other kids i couldn't wait to have a room of my own
00:48:45now i miss having someone to talk to
00:48:49yeah me
00:48:50i do don't i
00:48:53so tell me something
00:48:56how'd you ever find a place like this anyway
00:48:59i stumbled across it by accident while riding one day
00:49:03and it's so far off the main roads no one really comes out here
00:49:05i brought some of my old stuff and
00:49:09now it's where i come to be alone
00:49:11i don't know i can see why
00:49:13captain nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape
00:49:16this reminds me of it
00:49:18well the timber still seems
00:49:21i wouldn't do that
00:49:22whoa
00:49:23not as sound as you might think
00:49:28you're probably right
00:49:29i think it's best we pack up
00:49:32well i'm happy to see you and mary are getting along
00:49:39you know her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed
00:49:46did you try it
00:49:47of course not
00:49:49she's been doing this longer than we've been alive
00:49:51i can't believe you annie watson
00:49:53you've spent three years in medical school
00:49:56five years practicing medicine and you're gonna believe that woman's folk magic
00:49:59it's rubbish plain and simple
00:50:01we ask people to believe in things they don't understand and they do
00:50:05because they have trust and faith in us
00:50:08just like they have faith in the lord
00:50:10okay it is not the same thing and we're talking about mary here
00:50:12why do you have such a hard time believing in mary's ways
00:50:15okay
00:50:15mary is a lovely woman
00:50:18but you have to admit she's a little touch in the head
00:50:21she doesn't like me any more than i like her
00:50:23really
00:50:24the other day at the general store
00:50:27mary defended you to the ends of the earth
00:50:29what are you talking about
00:50:30the man with the anemic wife
00:50:32the one that you said was such a success story
00:50:34mary is the reason that he brought her back to you
00:50:37that's why lloyd mcqueen brought his wife back to me
00:50:40mary unloaded on him like a tornado
00:50:42spoke up for you and just plain made him cower
00:50:45i'm over
00:50:49go
00:50:50thank you
00:50:54do you have any idea what time it is
00:51:00hi pa
00:51:00you were supposed to be home for supper
00:51:03joshua and i weren't that hungry so we decided to stay out a little while longer
00:51:06well it's well past supper that's more than a little while
00:51:09why are you so angry
00:51:10i thought i could trust your judgment but apparently i was wrong
00:51:13what's that supposed to mean
00:51:15it means you can't spend any more time with joshua coil until i say so
00:51:18you'll go to school help your mother at the clinic and come straight home
00:51:21for how long
00:51:22as long as it takes me to trust you again
00:51:24that's completely unfair
00:51:26joshua's only two years older than i am and no one tells him what to do
00:51:29no one said the world was fair young lady
00:51:31lil
00:51:32i was worried about you

00:59:47It's a beautiful baby boy, and your wife is fine.
01:00:09Can I see them?
01:00:10Shortly.
01:00:11Well, looks like we got ourselves a baby brother.
01:00:23Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:24He sure is.
01:00:28He better be.
01:00:30Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:41Uh, that's not doctor's work.
01:00:47It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:54I learned something the day that they didn't teach me medical school.
01:00:57I learned something the day that they didn't teach me medical school.
01:01:27All right, whoa.
01:01:42Whoa.
01:01:50Whoa.
01:01:54Have you seen Lillian?
01:01:55No, why?
01:01:56Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:01:58She's been missing all afternoon.
01:01:59We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens, and she stormed off.
01:02:03Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:05We were hoping she'd run off to find you.
01:02:07She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:09It's about to get dark outside.
01:02:11She gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:14I think I know where she is.
01:02:15It's worse this time.
01:02:35I feel like I could faint.
01:02:37Okay, okay, let's get her inside.
01:02:39It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:42Let's get through there.
01:02:43Let's go.
01:02:43Let's go.
01:02:43I don't know.
01:03:13How much further?
01:03:18It's just up ahead.
01:03:27How are you feeling?
01:03:29I'm really not as light as it is before.
01:03:32I like to just go to bed.
01:03:34Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:36Doctor's orders.
01:03:43Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:03:49Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:04:19She might be hurt.
01:04:22This is one of her lamps.
01:04:23Come on, let's go.
01:04:25Lil!
01:04:27Lil!
01:04:35It's right up there.
01:04:38I see her.
01:04:41Lil!
01:04:44Lil!
01:04:46Give me a hand with this.
01:04:47One, two, three.
01:04:53We got it.
01:04:55Lil!
01:04:57Lil!
01:04:59Come on, talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:07Pa?
01:05:08Yeah.
01:05:08I'm here, honey.
01:05:12Just take it easy.
01:05:13Just stay down, all right?
01:05:17I'm gonna get you out of here.
01:05:19Okay.
01:05:19Okay.
01:05:19How's Lillian?
01:05:44A few cuts and bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:49She's out for the night.
01:05:52Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:54Give her a couple of days.
01:05:56She'll be right as rain.
01:05:57At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:00Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:03Ah.
01:06:04This too shall pass.
01:06:09Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:12True miracles.
01:06:14Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:16I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:20Hmm?
01:06:20Give it up if you want.
01:06:22But I'm telling you, the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:29You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:31Doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:32Only matters what you believe.
01:06:34What do you mean?
01:06:35Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:40It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:42I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:47You didn't deserve it.
01:06:49The Lord says we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:06:55Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning and all is forgiven.
01:07:00That's a promise.
01:07:10Late night tonight.
01:07:12Everyone's worn out.
01:07:14A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:22You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:29Really?
01:07:29You never read a book.
01:07:31I think it'll do me good.
01:07:33Help me unwind after the long day we've all had.
01:07:36Hmm.
01:07:42Doc.
01:07:45I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:48Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:52And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage.
01:07:55You need a good home.
01:07:56You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of her?
01:07:59Mm-hmm.
01:08:00I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:03Always have been.
01:08:04Always will be.
01:08:08Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:09I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:21I love you, too.
01:08:25Good night.
01:08:26Oh, all right.
01:08:28I need you to read your book now.
01:08:30Okay.
01:08:32All right.
01:08:34I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:36I'm sure I can't help you read it or no.
01:08:45All right.
01:08:55Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:08:58My ball and chain let me come downstairs.
01:09:01She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:04What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:08You are not going to the social.
01:09:10I am a doctor.
01:09:11I vote yes.
01:09:12Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:16I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:23I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:24I'm going to have to side with the midwife.
01:09:26But I love ice cream.
01:09:27Then I'll send you some.
01:09:28It's not the same.
01:09:29How do I know you're not going to sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:32Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:34This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:38You're both against me.
01:09:40That's right.
01:09:41Read your book and pout.
01:09:42Don't you look beautiful?
01:09:57Except for this.
01:09:59I don't know who will even notice that.
01:10:01Even Joshua.
01:10:02Especially Joshua.
01:10:04Thanks for telling Joshua you can escort me to the social.
01:10:07You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:10:09I told him I wanted to walk in with my family and see him from afar.
01:10:12That's very romantic.
01:10:14Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:17Pa.
01:10:19I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:22I don't know you were just worried about me.
01:10:24Don't worry about it.
01:10:27You're growing up so fast sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:30Thanks, Pa.
01:10:32Come here.
01:10:32Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:10:59No, thank you.
01:11:00No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:08Hey, partner.
01:11:10How's your ice cream?
01:11:12Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:14Boyd, I believe you know my husband Lee.
01:11:18Boyd.
01:11:19I want to thank you.
01:11:21Mabel's as different as night and day.
01:11:23It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:24Boyd, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:27I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:28I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:30I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:32Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:38It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:39Well, I mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:46Thanks again, Doc.
01:11:47It was my pleasure.
01:11:49And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:53I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:11:56I hope you can forgive me.
01:11:57There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:01Have a good day.
01:12:02Wow, that was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:11You like some ice cream?
01:12:13I'd love some.
01:12:14I love some.
01:12:32I got Lee's telegrams.
01:12:33Where's Annie?
01:12:34The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:36Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:38I need Belinda now.
01:12:40I want to see Annie.
01:12:41Get Belinda now.
01:12:48You look beautiful.
01:12:50Say, you look handsome.
01:12:53I still can't believe it.
01:12:55Can't believe what?
01:12:58That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:02It's very sweet of you to stay, Joshua.
01:13:18Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:20Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:22Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:24Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:25Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:27Lillian's got a boyfriend.
01:13:36Belinda!
01:13:37Stop going!
01:13:38I need you!
01:13:40Whoa!
01:13:41Whoa!
01:13:45Belinda!
01:13:46Peter!
01:13:46It's Annie.
01:13:47You gotta come quick.
01:13:49Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:52Yes, sir.
01:13:53Yeah!
01:13:54Yeah!
01:13:54Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:05She's had a seizure.
01:14:06I've got her in bed.
01:14:09Pete, you're the best way down here.
01:14:13There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:14Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:31Amen.
01:14:32Amen.
01:14:34Thank you, Lee.
01:14:35You're welcome.
01:14:37Come on, let's have a seat.

01:14:51Peter.
01:14:51Peter.
01:14:52He's waiting downstairs.
01:14:53Right.
01:14:56I'm just a glimpse here.
01:14:59I'm afraid so.
01:15:03Please save my baby.
01:15:06You know what you have to do.
01:15:08Come on.
01:15:08Come on.
01:15:08Come on.
01:15:09Come on.

01:15:14Come on.
01:15:15Come on.
01:15:16Come on.
01:15:17I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:19come on.
01:15:26Come on.
01:15:31Come on.
01:15:31What did she mean?
01:15:32you know what has to be done.
01:15:35That baby has to come out if we're to save it.
01:15:38Even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:40That baby is ready.
01:15:42She was talking about a cesarean delivery.
01:15:45Which I could do at the clinic
01:15:47but under very crude conditions.
01:15:49Have you ever done one?
01:15:51I did one once at a hospital in Boston.
01:15:54But I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:15:57And there wasn't a clams handball.
01:15:59Is there no other choice?
01:16:02Not if she doesn't go into labor's.
01:16:05Well then, we'd best get that labor going.
01:16:11What is that?
01:16:15Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:18Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:21Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:22A weed the good lord made.
01:16:25His wonders to perceive.
01:16:27Does it work?
01:16:28Sure as the sunrise.
01:16:29A little of this.
01:16:32And we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:40Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:42A glass of water?
01:16:43No.
01:16:58I've never beenWow.
01:17:01I'm not the곳.
01:17:03I'm your one.
01:17:04It's going to be done now.
01:17:05I can't be jaką dick.
01:17:06I don't seeを live in no time.
01:17:07I don't know.
01:17:07Never mind is that.
01:17:09No.
01:17:09Man, no.
01:17:10Our temperature is slightly raised
01:17:19But our heartbeat and our breathing are normal
01:17:22No contraptions yet
01:17:24It doesn't seem to be working
01:17:26It's never taken this long
01:17:28Let's just give it a little more time
01:17:30We could lose Annie and the baby
01:17:34Do you have everything here that you need
01:17:38To do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:40How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:51I'm going to make some tea
01:17:53Feel like a cup
01:17:54No, thank you
01:18:10Any news?
01:18:11Nothing yet
01:18:12I'm going to have a cup of tea
01:18:15You're doing fine, Annie
01:18:36Just keep breathing
01:18:37Contractions
01:18:42Closer together
01:18:43We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family
01:18:47It's all right, it's all right
01:18:50Keep breathing, good, good
01:18:53Congratulations, Uncle Ado
01:19:05Congratulations, Uncle Vito.
01:19:24She's so beautiful.
01:19:27I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this...
01:19:31perfect.
01:19:33And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:36I thought she was a boy.
01:19:39She carried like a boy.
01:19:41We live and learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:43We sure do.
01:19:45Thank you both for being here.
01:19:47There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:53Is it okay if I come in?
01:19:59Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:02Can I hold her?
01:20:08Come sit.
01:20:11No, no.
01:20:33Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:20:42Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:43How about your present?
01:20:45Present.
01:20:47These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:50When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:20:54The way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:20:57Oh, you think so?
01:21:02I should probably get going.
01:21:04Okay, will I see you later?
01:21:07Sure as this is one fine day.
01:21:21Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:25I'm coming.
01:21:29Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us,
01:21:32and the love which envelops us.
01:21:35May we always strive to walk the way you like
01:21:38and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:40Amen.
01:21:53Hey, are you all right?
01:21:54I'm fine.
01:21:55Just a little stuffy inside.
01:21:57I've gotten so used to you being at the house, it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:01Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:04I think it's time we go home.
01:22:06I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:08And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:11What are you doing out of here?
01:22:17Oh, I was just getting some fresh air, talking to Annie.
01:22:20You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:23Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:26Let's enjoy her while we can.
01:22:27Thank you very much, Lee.
01:22:38It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:39And Belinda.
01:22:41I can never thank you enough.
01:22:43Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:48This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:51I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:53Me too.
01:22:54All aboard, folks.
01:22:56We're burning daylight.
