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.
00:01:39Cums 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.
00:02:09He just don't trust doctors.
00:02:11Not since his sister died.
00:02:14Is 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.
00:02:33I eat 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.
00:02:57Hello, Lee.
00:02:58Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59Leaving that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01Well, I'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.
00:03:22Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:43I'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.
00:03:56Tell her all these are with that medicine.
00:03:57I will absolutely.
00:03:58Very good to see you.
00:03:59Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:00Now you take care of yourself.
00:04:01Okay.
00:04:02All right, pal.
00:04:03Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:04I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:05That's the perfect child.
00:04:06Here it comes.
00:04:07Easy.
00:04:08Hey!
00:04:09Hey!
00:04:10Hey!
00:04:11Hey!
00:04:12Hey!
00:04:13Hey!
00:04:14Hey!
00:04:15Boy.
00:04:16Hey.
00:04:17Hey!
00:04:18Boy, get inside.
00:04:19Settle down.
00:04:20Settle, settle.
00:04:21Hey!
00:04:22Easy now.
00:04:23We are
00:04:25We are coming.
00:04:26ети.
00:04:27mCH-D-MCH-D-MCH-D-MCH-D-MCH-D-MCH-D-MCH-D-MCH.
00:04:29Settle down now. Settle. Settle.
00:04:33Easy now.
00:04:37I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:42Come on.
00:04:55Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:59Aunt Annie. Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:04She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:06Sure, she looks very round.
00:05:09I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:11Oh, 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. Me too.
00:05:23I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:26I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having the baby, but we need the money.
00:05:32I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:34But you're mine at ease, Pete. We're happy to have her.
00:05:37My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:39But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:43And we're so glad you did.
00:05:44How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:46Broken bones and bee stings, anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:51The town loves Mom. They 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?
00:06:02All right, sir.
00:06:19It's good having Annie here.
00:06:20It 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.
00:06:27Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:30I'm right here.
00:06:31Well, 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?
00:06:39What's wrong?
00:06:41I'm not pregnant.
00:06:42Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:45We've tried for so long.
00:06:47We have more than we can handle with Lill.
00:06:49Oh, I know, but...
00:06:53It's just that when Annie found out the news, it maybe won a baby of her own even more.
00:06:57Now 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...
00:07:15Maybe we should just let him decide.
00:07:18What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:19Hey.
00:07:31Come on.
00:07:33Let's go help Lill finish the dishes.
00:07:34I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:50Peter, please be careful.
00:07:52Yes.
00:07:53My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:56I love you.
00:07:57I love you too.
00:07:58Bye, ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05We'll see you.
00:08:07Step up!
00:08:17Boy, are you all right?
00:08:21Ha!
00:08:23Oh, no!
00:08:24No!
00:08:26Oh, jeez!
00:08:28Well, it's time, isn't it?
00:08:38Bags.
00:08:39Got it.
00:08:40Check on the team, Ike.
00:08:42Welcome home, darling.
00:08:44Oh.
00:08:45You!
00:08:46That was a trip.
00:08:48Yeah!
00:08:56You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:57Yes, sir.
00:08:59Who are you always?
00:09:00Welcome, Saxon.
00:09:01How's your trip?
00:09:02Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:05Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:06Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:08Abby.
00:09:09Well, Saxon's a nice little town.
00:09:11I hope you like it.
00:09:12I expect so.
00:09:14Can I help you with your things?
00:09:15Don'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.
00:09:26Liberty work and rolling stock.
00:09:28Custom 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.
00:09:38But you managed to make something that lasts a generation or two.
00:09:41You know, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:43I reckon that's true.
00:09:46What do you say?
00:09:48You ready to get started?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:50All right, then.
00:09:59How was your walk?
00:10:01I'm carrying around a 30-pound sack of flour.
00:10:04Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, 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 Selina last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:16It 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.
00:10:31And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:35That'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, you know that.
00:10:46Oh!
00:10:47What is it?
00:10:49It's a quick, sharp pain and shortness of breath and minor faintness.
00:10:54Let's get you to an examination.
00:10:56It's not necessary.
00:10:57Is the baby moving?
00:10:59It isn't that.
00:11:01It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:03Let me finish some things up and we'll get you on.
00:11:06You know, my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:17Well, we've never been riding.
00:11:19You walking to my camp?
00:11:20No.
00:11:21No.
00:11:21No.
00:11:22I got a horse to give to Lil Ant.
00:11:25Well, he's still a little green.
00:11:27Pesty.
00:11:28I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:32Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:35I know nothing to saddle horses.
00:11:37Only harness problem.
00:11:38I'll stick with wagons.
00:11:40You'd better for it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:46What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:50And that's coming from your doctor, Amy.
00:11:52When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:54My mother-in-law.
00:11:55She's a midwife.
00:11:56Well, 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.
00:12:08I'm sure it's going to be fine.
00:12:12That's fine.
00:12:15And you must be Joshua.
00:12:16Welcome to our home.
00:12:17Very nice to meet you, Ms. Owens.
00:12:19Uh, that's Dr. Owens.
00:12:22You're a doctor?
00:12:23Yes, as is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:26It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:28Ma'am, it's funny.
00:12:30I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:33Allowed?
00:12:34No, I just...
00:12:35And just who would we need permission from?
00:12:36Go easy on him, Lil.
00:12:38Lee just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:42Apparently not.
00:12:47That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51You'll get used to it.
00:12:54Oh, 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.
00:13:17Miss Owens?
00:13:19Mr. Coyle?
00:13:21I just want you to know...
00:13:22I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:25I 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.
00:13:37They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:40A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:42Well, I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:45I swear.
00:13:46It's just...
00:13:46Well...
00:13:48I'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.
00:13:55Apology accepted.
00:14:00I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:02Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:04So you read for fun?
00:14:06I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:09Well, all right.
00:14:11I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:16Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:32Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:38Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:40Good night, Pa.
00:14:46Come in.
00:14:59How are you?
00:15:01I feel so...
00:15:02You all right?
00:15:15Okay.
00:15:16Can we help?
00:15:18Can we help?
00:15:19Can we just sit down?
00:15:22Just sit down.
00:15:24I think this is so...
00:15:26It's okay.
00:15:28It says this one.
00:15:31It's a nice man.
00:15:34It says this is...
00:15:35It's my home.

00:17:01it's nice
00:17:31tell him what's happened
00:17:32thank you
00:17:32and let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy
00:17:36bed rest is crucial
00:17:38well I made it all
00:17:39why are his mother?
00:17:40you said she lives in Spartan
00:17:42thank you
00:17:43do you think this is necessary?
00:17:49total rest for you Mrs. Watson in a dark room is conducive to rest
00:17:53to being lazy you mean
00:17:55I cannot just lay around all day
00:17:57I'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
00:18:04don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:05perhaps
00:18:06but if not I won't be sorry later
00:18:08prepare for my peach
00:18:22are 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

00:18:58well it never hurts to hear
00:19:00I love you too Lee Owens
00:19:06oh and don't forget to send the telegrams
00:19:08alright
00:19:09have a good day sweet darling
00:19:12Belinda 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
00:19:31Lee Owens
00:19:32well that's what he said
00:19:35well
00:19:36Dr. Alvin
00:19:44it's McQueen
00:19:45sorry I were 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
00:19:52why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition
00:19:55what she has is a spell of laziness
00:19:57Mabel 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
00:20:08but there's no magic to it
00:20:10your wife had a baby a month ago and she has a very serious medical condition
00:20:13maybe if you weren't so hard headed you would realize that
00:20:16now my advice
00:20:18I don't need your mouth nor your advice and I don't need your magic potion
00:20:22doctor's not worth a
00:20:23Putin holler
00:20:24are you all right Belinda?
00:20:30yes I'm just frustrated at a very stubborn and hard headed man
00:20:34Lloyd McQueen is truly set in his ways but he's still a child of our maker
00:20:39he has no compassion for his wife's condition
00:20:41can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times
00:20:44and the sight of the compassion we should have for others
00:20:47there I go preaching again
00:20:50oh it's all right
00:20:51I suppose I needed to hear it
00:20:52I'll see you in church Belinda
00:20:54good day
00:20:56that's it steady blows
00:21:09alright
00:21:10your 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
00:21:24she was adopted
00:21:26still I couldn't be prouder
00:21:27really?
00:21:28huh
00:21:29I never would have known
00:21:30I mean she and Mrs. I mean Dr. Owens
00:21:33sort of look alike
00:21:35is that a fact?
00:21:37yeah I mean it's just
00:21:38Lillian's very pretty
00:21:40yeah I know she's pretty
00:21:42I'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
00:22:06I think I know what's best for me
00:22:07knowing and doing are two entirely different things
00:22:10is that another contraction?
00:22:14no the baby's just kicking
00:22:15and I have to tell you I'm a little relieved
00:22:18I haven't felt him move since the contractions yesterday
00:22:20you just said it was
00:22:22he?
00:22:24how do you know it's a boy?
00:22:25I know it sounds silly
00:22:27but Mary thinks because I'm caring so low that it'll be a boy
00:22:30it is silly
00:22:31that's an old wives tale
00:22:32there's no medical merit to it
00:22:35say what you want
00:22:36but when Peter's sister was pregnant
00:22:37Mary was concerned because she was caring so far out in front
00:22:40she said it would be a breached birth
00:22:42and she was right
00:22:43one lucky guess
00:22:45and she's got you believing made up stories
00:22:47goodness he's getting his exercise today
00:22:49you want to feel?
00:22:51that's alright
00:22:51come on Belinda
00:22:53don't be nervous
00:22:55it's so strange
00:22:59I never thought I'd be a mother
00:23:02it suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world
00:23:05I'm sorry
00:23:10I'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
00:23:17that have gotten pregnant without even trying
00:23:19and Lee and I have been trying
00:23:21we'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
00:23:29Mabel McQueen
00:23:30she's had six babies in the past eight years
00:23:33without even trying
00:23:34it's important to you isn't it?
00:23:41we best 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
00:24:13she's out for the night
00:24:14she keeps insisting she feels fine
00:24:18I think I've heard that before
00:24:22you two are so much alike it's frightening
00:24:26I suppose it's why we're such good friends
00:24:29I 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
00:24:41why not?
00:24:42he's only a couple years older
00:24:43Doc
00:24:44he's an apprentice blacksmith
00:24:45I want better for Lillian
00:24:46I'm the wife of a blacksmith
00:24:48and you don't hear me complaining
00:24:50I spent the last five years
00:24:52trying to figure out
00:24:52how I tricked you into marrying me
00:24:54you could have done much better
00:24:56you didn't trick me into anything
00:24:57I married you because
00:24:59I fell in love with you, Leonis
00:25:01and if Lillian and Joshua
00:25:03take an interest in one another
00:25:04I don't think it's our place to stand in their way
00:25:06besides
00:25:07telling Lillian she can't have something
00:25:10it's
00:25:10like daring to try to stop her
00:25:13I get your point
00:25:17I don't want to get in the way of her happiness
00:25:20still
00:25:20you left a small town to follow your dream
00:25:24and if Lil wants to go to college
00:25:27I darn sure want to see it happen
00:25:28I don't want her tied down to Saxon
00:25:31I hope she knows
00:25:35what a wonderful and caring father she has
00:25:37it's getting a little chilly
00:25:41want to turn in for the night?
00:25:43you go ahead
00:25:44I'll be up in a little while
00:25:45don't be in such a hurry pretty lady
00:26:06please allow me to pass
00:26:10we need to get to know each other
00:26:12I think not
00:26:16I don't want to be late for school
00:26:17I can teach you more than any school can
00:26:19excuse me
00:26:21you mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:24this ain't none of your affairs, sod buster
00:26:26ah, but it is
00:26:27it ain't
00:26:28you 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
00:26:40it's after the second
00:26:42I'm on my own
00:26:42that was the second cheek
00:26:50you're breaking my wrist
00:26:52well I understand
00:26:52there'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
00:26:57Miss Owens again

00:26:59good
00:27:00now get
00:27:01morning Miss Owens
00:27:13you on your way to school
00:27:15indeed I am
00:27:16may I walk with you
00:27:19I did the best I could Jim
00:27:28but gotta go easy on it
00:27:30alright
00:27:30your boss strikes me as a hard working man
00:27:44he lives and breathes work
00:27:47ma says sometimes he rolls over to sleep
00:27:49and tries to use your arms like a set of tongs
00:27:51I guess that's the future after
00:27:53it's not such a bad life really
00:27:55so what about you?
00:28:00you gonna become a doctor like your ma?
00:28:03I don't know
00:28:04I haven't decided
00:28:05maybe I want to be a lawyer
00:28:07or a famous writer like Harriet Beecher Stowe
00:28:09one thing for sure
00:28:11I want to go to college
00:28:12well I better get to work
00:28:14have a nice day
00:28:15Joshua
00:28:17you too
00:28:18I don't think you should be climbing the stairs
00:28:31but I feel fine
00:28:33what's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day
00:28:36but it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint
00:28:39you know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do
00:28:42that's assuming your diagnosis is correct
00:28:44is 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
00:28:58well this must be it
00:29:12thank you my good man
00:29:17and you have a blessed day
00:29:20and you must be the infamous Doc Owen
00:29:25Mary Watson
00:29:28oh do you know that already
00:29:30now 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?
00:29:44where else would you expect me to be?
00:29:47oh my little lamb
00:29:48what? but didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:50I did that's why I'm here
00:29:51I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend
00:29:55but I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson
00:30:00I've missed you
00:30:01oh it's darker than the inside of a cow in here
00:30:05yes it is
00:30:05oh please don't do that
00:30:06what?
00:30:08she's not a mushroom
00:30:09she needs light
00:30:10all right
00:30:11let'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
00:30:16if she stays in this bed too long
00:30:19she'll get a crick in her back
00:30:21and it'll make delivery much more painful
00:30:22I think it's better that she's on bed rest
00:30:25for the remainder of her term
00:30:26it's not going to hurt her to sit up
00:30:28when you've delivered as many babies as I have
00:30:31you learn a few things
00:30:33well I've been to medical school for years
00:30:35and rest is the proper treatment
00:30:36you don't learn everything
00:30:38in medical school
00:30:40that is a matter of opinion
00:30:41and I wholeheartedly disagree
00:30:43ladies I'm not a sack of flour
00:30:45there I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw
00:30:57I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night
00:31:03I expected twins
00:31:05not triplets
00:31:07and a blizzard
00:31:08oh the little ones pop out whenever they want
00:31:11regardless of the weather
00:31:12fortunately I don't have many emergencies
00:31:15women giving birth
00:31:17are always an emergency
00:31:19that's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple
00:31:23it 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
00:31:31you let that little fella start running your life now
00:31:36you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30
00:31:38yes Annie told me you believe it's a boy

00:36:13there is nothing more I can do
00:36:14I tried to take the tonic
00:36:16really I did
00:36:16even started to feel a little stronger
00:36:18and then lloyd found it

00:36:35good day mrs mcqueen
00:36:40your friend Belinda doesn't seem too happy

00:37:06but everybody likes me
00:37:08she isn't happy
00:37:11she's been trying to have a baby
00:37:13and Belinda just feels discouraged
00:37:16me showing up in my condition
00:37:18and staying till the baby comes
00:37:20I think it's just another painful reminder
00:37:23why didn't you say something sooner
00:37:26if it's baby trouble she's got
00:37:28I've surely got the cure
00:37:31how about a sugary treat

00:39:50I lost my temper
00:39:51what'll owe you for the tonic
00:39:53only that you allow her to keep taking it
00:39:55we don't need no charity
00:39:57the first one was already paid for
00:39:58this is just a replacement
00:39:59step up
00:40:11yes dear
00:40:20I'm sorry
00:40:21you're sleeping
00:40:22well not anymore
00:40:23my apprentice wants to court Lillian
00:40:28his name is Joshua
00:40:31I told him I'd think about it
00:40:35well then think
00:40:37don'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
00:40:45letting her grow up
00:40:46I was trying to protect her
00:40:48I don't think she needs protection
00:40:49from Joshua
00:40:50he's a very nice young man
00:40:53that's all you have to say about it
00:40:55goodnight sweetheart
00:40:58all right
00:41:04tomorrow I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lillian
00:41:09I don't 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
00:41:30I can see why you like it here
00:41:32may I ask
00:41:35why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie
00:41:38I don't deliberately go against your word
00:41:41we just
00:41:42disagree about how to treat her
00:41:45this isn't a competition Mary
00:41:46if a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia
00:41:50I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them
00:41:52that's your business
00:41:54babies are my business
00:41:57have been for 30 years
00:41:59it's just there's been so many new advancements
00:42:01sometimes the old ways are best
00:42:04Annie may have a serious condition
00:42:06which could be fatal to both her and the baby
00:42:08are you sure?
00:42:10of course I'm not sure
00:42:10but I'm not taking any chances
00:42:12so it's true what they say
00:42:15that doctors only practice medicine
00:42:17this conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere
00:42:22so Annie tells me you're barren
00:42:26or 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
00:42:38I 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
00:42:44folks worry too much about work
00:42:48family or whether or not they can have a baby
00:42:51then years go by and nothing happens
00:42:54then one day they decide to stop trying
00:42:57and before you know it
00:42:59they find they're with child
00:43:01so your sage advice for me is to relax
00:43:05read a book before you go to bed
00:43:07take some deep breath
00:43:10and before you know it
00:43:12I'll be back to deliver your little one
00:43:14I'll make sure I try that
00:43:31every baby boy needs his own blanket
00:43:38don't you agree?
00:43:39yes I do
00:43:48I'm gonna head to the shop for a few hours
00:43:49I'll be back in time for supper
00:43:50don't you ever take time off?
00:43:53oh the good book says that a man who doesn't work
00:43:55doesn't deserve to eat
00:43:56I ain't got a lot of work to do
00:43:58we just thought you'd have more time off
00:43:59once you hired an apprentice
00:44:00and I do
00:44:01now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six
00:44:03Gillian 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 I promise
00:44:19bye everyone
00:44:22bye dear
00:44:29I love it
00:44:38the sea is everything
00:44:39it covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe
00:44:41its breath is pure and healthy
00:44:43it is an immense desert where man is never lonely
00:44:46for he feels life stirring on all sides
00:44:48this sea is the only embodiment of the supernatural and wonderful existence
00:44:52it 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 listening to you talk
00:45:06you're just saying that
00:45:07no
00:45:08I'm not
00:45:09I swear
00:45:09it's just
00:45:10I'd like this Captain Nemo
00:45:12if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time
00:45:15well I can't let them go
00:45:15and they might tell the world who he is
00:45:17twenty thousand leagues is an allegory
00:45:19it's about personal freedom
00:45:20Nemo 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 not
00:45:28Lee?
00:45:37you working today?
00:45:40you work harder than any man I know
00:45:42well 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?
00:45:49this is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble
00:45:54sometimes it helps to speak it out loud
00:45:56talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for
00:45:59I just can't figure Lillian out
00:46:01I'm trying to be a good father to her
00:46:05our children grow up
00:46:07start spreading their wings
00:46:09the father has to be aware of that
00:46:12and try to grow with his child
00:46:14yeah
00:46:15Belinda tolerates more than I do
00:46:17she's a mother
00:46:18the good lord gave them the patience of Job
00:46:21when it comes to raising their children
00:46:23he shortchanged fathers in that area
00:46:25yeah
00:46:27yeah
00:46:28I really wish you would get some rest
00:46:35I feel fine
00:46:37looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition
00:46:41perhaps
00:46:42so if things improve with Lee
00:46:46he says he isn't bothered but
00:46:48I still sense that he's disappointed we can't have a baby
00:46:52well
00:46:53maybe you're just being overly sensitive
00:46:55and you think that he's disappointed
00:46:56maybe
00:46:57you know I'm starting to think that maybe she regressed marrying me
00:47:01now Lee
00:47:02that is just plain nonsense
00:47:05she's proud as a peacock that she married you
00:47:07maybe
00:47:08have you spoken to her about it
00:47:10in a roundabout way
00:47:12of course she says I'm wrong
00:47:14still she seems kind of distant lately
00:47:17she's got something on her mind
00:47:19most women do when they get like that
00:47:22you know we're uh
00:47:25trying to have a baby
00:47:27so far no luck
00:47:30you have to have faith
00:47:32sometimes it's hard River
00:47:34talk to her about your feelings
00:47:38I'd best be getting home
00:47:41Mrs. Davis will give me an earful if I'm late for supper
00:47:44and myself included
00:47:45well I see
00:47:54you didn't need my help putting supper on the table
00:47:57you're taking a nap
00:47:58we just wanted you to be able to rest
00:48:00I'll rest enough when I'm dead
00:48:02give me that knife before you cut yourself
00:48:06so do you miss your family?
00:48:14I do
00:48:15my pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania
00:48:18he wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields
00:48:21so he said if I got good enough
00:48:23maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia
00:48:25sounds like he cares about you a lot
00:48:28yeah my family's pretty close
00:48:30it's kind of strange though
00:48:32you know being out here all by myself
00:48:35I have three sisters and two brothers
00:48:37and not a moment of peace
00:48:38back at the boarding house I got nothing but quiet
00:48:40I know what you mean
00:48:42I mostly grew up in an orphanage
00:48:44until ma and pa adopted me when I was ten
00:48:46I'd spent so long in a room with other kids
00:48:49I couldn't wait to have a room of my own
00:48:50now I miss having someone to talk to
00:48:54yeah me
00:48:55I do don't I
00:48:58so tell me something
00:49:01how'd you ever find a place like this anyway?
00:49:05I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day
00:49:08and it's so far off the main roads
00:49:09no one really comes out here
00:49:11so
00:49:11I brought some of my old stuff
00:49:14and
00:49:14now it's where I come to be alone
00:49:16I can see why
00:49:18Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean
00:49:20where he went to escape
00:49:21this reminds me of it
00:49:23well the timber still seems
00:49:26I wouldn't do that
00:49:27whoa
00:49:28not as sound as you might think
00:49:33you're probably right
00:49:35I think it's best we pack up
00:49:38well I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along
00:49:44you know her fertility advice to me
00:49:48was to relax
00:49:49and 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
00:49:56I can't believe you Annie Watson
00:49:58you've spent three years in medical school
00:50:01five years practicing medicine
00:50:03and you're gonna believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:05it's rubbish
00:50:06plain and simple
00:50:07we ask people to believe in things they don't understand
00:50:10and they do
00:50:10because they have trust and faith in us
00:50:13just like they have faith in the Lord
00:50:15okay
00:50:15it is not the same thing
00:50:17and we're talking about Mary here
00:50:18why do you have such a hard time believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:20okay
00:50:21Mary is a lovely woman
00:50:23but you have to admit
00:50:25she's a little touched on the head
00:50:26she doesn't like me any more than I like her
00:50:29really?
00:50:30the other day at the general store
00:50:32Mary 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
00:50:42that's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me
00:50:45Mary unloaded on him like a tornado
00:50:48spoke up for you
00:50:49and just plain made him cower
00:50:50I'm over
00:50:54let's go
00:50:55thank you
00:50:59do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:05hi pa
00:51:06you were supposed to be home for supper
00:51:08Joshua and I weren't that hungry
00:51:10so we decided to stay out a little while longer
00:51:12well it's well past supper
00:51:13that's more than a little while
00:51:14why are you so angry?
00:51:16I thought I could trust your judgment
00:51:17but apparently I was wrong
00:51:19what's that supposed to mean?
00:51:20it means you can't spend any more time
00:51:21with Joshua Coil until I say so
00:51:23go to school
00:51:24help your mother at the clinic
00:51:25and come straight home
00:51:26for how long?
00:51:28as long as it takes me to trust you again
00:51:29that's completely unfair
00:51:31Joshua is only two years older than I am
00:51:33and no one tells him what to do
00:51:34no one said the world was fair young lady
00:51:36Lil?
00:51:38I was worried about you
00:51:42hello Joshua
00:52:05good afternoon man
00:52:08uh
00:52:09Mr. Owens told me how much trouble
00:52:12I caused the other night
00:52:13I just wanted to come by
00:52:15and say how sorry I am
00:52:16for keeping Lillian out so late
00:52:18you needn't place the blame
00:52:19all on yourself
00:52:20she's old enough to know better
00:52:21no I'm still sorry
00:52:23ma I can't find the
00:52:24bandages
00:52:27pa said I can't see you for a while
00:52:32boss said
00:52:33you couldn't go out with Joshua
00:52:35he said nothing about the two of you
00:52:36seeing each other
00:52:37thanks ma
00:52:39well I have work to do
00:52:44it was nice to see you Joshua
00:52:46there's always room open at the dinner table
00:52:48for you
00:52:49thank you ma'am
00:52:51sorry to get you into trouble
00:52:57you didn't do anything wrong
00:52:59and neither did I
00:53:00I'm a grown woman
00:53:01and I don't need my pa deciding
00:53:02how 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
00:53:10when you get off punishment
00:53:11I'm not going anywhere
00:53:12I wanted to return this
00:53:15I finished it
00:53:16already?
00:53:18I just gave it to you
00:53:19once I got started
00:53:20it was hard to quit
00:53:21I mean the sun was already up
00:53:23when I finally closed the book
00:53:24so you stayed up all night
00:53:25just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:27well
00:53:27I don't think I would have gotten
00:53:29much sleep with or without him
00:53:30I'll be thinking about you
00:53:34me too
00:53:36Mary?
00:53:57in here dear
00:53:58Annie, should you be up?
00:54:07where are you going?
00:54:09I'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
00:54:19and besides
00:54:21the last thing you need
00:54:23is an old granny midwife
00:54:25gumming up the works
00:54:26this doesn't have anything
00:54:28to do with the disagreement
00:54:29between you and Belinda
00:54:30does it?
00:54:31oh, no
00:54:32no, no
00:54:33truth is
00:54:35I'm feeling homesick
00:54:37I miss sleeping
00:54:39in my own bed
00:54:40and
00:54:42my patients back home
00:54:44don't have a smart lady doctor
00:54:46to take care of them
00:54:47if you've made your decision
00:54:48I can't stop you
00:54:49I would really love
00:54:51for you to stay though
00:54:52I want my family here
00:54:54when the baby comes
00:54:55Belinda is your family
00:54:57sweetheart
00:54:58and Peter will be back
00:55:00with you next week

01:02:05at the shop

01:02:09one who understands it
01:02:10we were hoping
01:02:10she'd run up
01:02:11to find you
01:02:11she rode off
01:02:13when that crazy horse
01:02:14had bought for her
01:02:14it's about to get dark
01:02:16outside
01:02:16if she gets stuck
01:02:17in the countryside
01:02:18I think I know
01:02:19where she is
01:02:20it's worse this time
01:02:40I feel like I could faint
01:02:42okay okay
01:02:43let's get her inside
01:02:44it looks as if
01:02:45the doctor was right
01:02:46about bed rest
01:02:48let's go
01:02:48okay
01:02:48I don't know.
01:03:18How much further?
01:03:24It's just up ahead.
01:03:32How are you feeling?
01:03:34I'm really not as light as it is 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.
01:03:48Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:03:54Whoa.
01:04:03Was it like this before?
01:04:20No, sir.
01:04:22Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:24She might be hurt.
01:04:27This is one of her lamps.
01:04:29Come on.
01:04:29Let's go.
01:04:30Lil!
01:04:32Lil!
01:04:41It's right up there.
01:04:43I see her.
01:04:43Lil!
01:04:49Lil!
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:52One, two, three.
01:04:58You got it.
01:04:59Lil.
01:05:01Lil.
01:05:02Lil.
01:05:04Come on.
01:05:05Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:05Pa.
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:14I'm here, honey.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:19Just stay down, all right?
01:05:22I'm gonna get you out of here.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24How's Lillian?
01:05:49A few cuts and bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:54She's out for the night.
01:05:57Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:59Give her a couple 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.
01:06:09Ah.
01:06:10This too shall pass.
01:06:14Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:17True miracles.
01:06:18Are you still fretting about the baby-making?
01:06:21I 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?
01:06:36Doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38Only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What do you mean?
01:06:40Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:44It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:50I'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.
01:07:06It's a late night tonight.
01:07:17Everyone's worn out.
01:07:19A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:27You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really?
01:07:34You never read a book.
01:07:37I think it'll do me good.
01:07:39Help me unwind after the long day we've all had.
01:07:42Mm-hmm.
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.
01:08:00You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of our home?
01:08:05I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:09Always have been.
01:08:09Always will be.
01:08:13Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:15Yeah.
01:08:19Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:25I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:28I love you, too.
01:08:30Good night.
01:08:31Oh, 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.
01:08:41I'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.
01:09:18Well, 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.
01:10:00Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:02Except for this.
01:10:04I don't know who will even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua?
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua you're going to escort me to the social.
01:10:12You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:10:14I 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.
01:10:28I know 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.
01:10:38And then he stepped like this.
01:10:54Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:05No, thank you.
01:11:06No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:13Hey, partner.
01:11:14How's your ice cream?
01:11:17Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:19Boy, do you know my husband Lee?
01:11:23Boy, 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.
01:11:57I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:12:01I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:02There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:06Have a good day.
01:12:11Wow.
01:12:13That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17You like some ice cream?
01:12:18I'd love some.
01:12:27I 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.
01:12:49You look beautiful.
01:12:54I 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.
01:13:08That's very sweet of you to say, Joshua.
01:13:10Lillian'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.
01:13:32I need you.
01:13:50Belinda.
01:13:51Peter.
01:13:52It's Annie.
01:13:52You gotta come quick.
01:13:54Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:58Yeah.
01:13:59Yeah.
01:13:59Stand back.
01:14:00Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:10She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete.
01:14:16What's 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.
01:14:42Let's have a seat.
01:14:56Peter.
01:14:57He's waiting downstairs.
01:15:01Right.
01:15:03I'm just a glimpse here.
01:15:04I'm afraid so.
01:15:05Please, Dave, my baby.
01:15:12You know what you have to do.
01:15:22I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:23I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:27What 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.
01:15:51Which I can do at the clinic, but under very crude conditions.
01:15:54Have you ever done one?
01:15:56I did one once at a hospital in Boston.
01:15:59But I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:02And there wasn't a clamsy involved.
01:16:04Is there no other choice?
01:16:08Not 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.
01:16:23Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:26Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:27A weed the good Lord made.
01:16:30His wonders to perceive.
01:16:32Does it work?
01:16:33Sure as the sunrise.
01:16:36A little of this,
01:16:37and we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:45Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:47A glass of water.
01:16:48A glass of water.
01:16:54A glass of water.
01:16:56A glass of water.
01:16:56Let's go.
01:17:26We're breathing our normal. No contractions yet.
01:17:30It doesn't seem to be working. It'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.
01:17:40Do you have everything here that you need to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:49How about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:56I'm going to make some tea. Do you like a cup?
01:18:00No, thank you.
01:18:15Any news?
01:18:16Nothing yet. I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:20You're doing fine, Annie. Just keep breathing.
01:18:42I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:47Contractions. Closer together.
01:18:49We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:54It's all right. It's all right.
01:18:56Keep breathing. Good. Good.
01:18:58Congratulations, Uncle Nito.
01:19:24She's so beautiful.
01:19:32I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this...
01:19:37Perfect.
01:19:38And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:41I thought she was a boy.
01:19:42She carried like a boy.
01:19:46We let them 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.
01:20:06Can I hold her?
01:20:13Come sit.
01:20:17Come sit.
01:20:38Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:49How about your present?
01:20:51Present?
01:20:53These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:55When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:20:59The way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:03Oh, you think so?
01:21:03I should probably get going.
01:21:09Okay.
01:21:10Will I see you later?
01:21:12Sure, this is one fine day.
01:21:26Joshua, 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.
01:21:57Hey, 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.
01:22:14And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:16What 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?
01:22:28Well, 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.
01:23:07I thought you'd do.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:31There you go.
01:23:35You know?
01:23:37All right, take her easy there.
01:23:42Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:46How do I think you're married?
01:23:48Well, 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, but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:02Now, if you ever need a good midwife, you know where to find me.
01:24:07Oh.
01:24:21Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:24All right.
01:24:26Here we go.
01:24:27Wait a minute.
01:24:27One, two, three.
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 out.
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.
01:25:03You 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, especially when I am one.
01:25:18Hey, we're going to have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:28We're going to have a baby.
01:25:32Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:34Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:36Yes, ma'am.
01:25:36Joshua Coyle, don'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 and baby plans to make.
01:25:53Uh, now wait up.
01:25:55Now wait up a bit.
01:25:58How far along are you?
01:26:01Now I'm serious.
01:26:03Well, we've got to start talking about names, really.
01:26:06I mean, I like Lee for a boy.
01:26:08How?
01:26:08You think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:09Or, uh, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
