01:21Growing up in a family as large and as close as mine
01:24made it hard to realize that there were many people
01:27who lived in loneliness and solitude.
01:30However, the realization of that sad truth
01:32also brought me close to a remarkable woman
01:35and sent me on a journey that I was to remember
01:38for the rest of my life.
01:41When I take these cuffs off, they'll be just fine.
01:45Oh, Mama, they're still gonna look funny.
01:49I could take the waist in a little.
01:51Oh, no.
01:52Maybe you should reconsider and wear your knickers.
01:54Mama, I can't wear my knickers to the dance.
01:57None of the boys are gonna be wearing knickers to the dance.
01:59Will you look at this?
02:00When I stitch them up, nobody'll notice.
02:05They will.
02:06Well, Marsha Woolery will, for sure.
02:08I can't take her to something as important as a school dance
02:10with my knees peeking through my britches like this.
02:12Well, has she said she'll go yet?
02:14More or less.
02:15That young lady has been known to change her mind.
02:18Well, she's not gonna do it this time.
02:20Mama, I...
02:22Oh, Jumbo, you know we can't afford to buy you a new pair.
02:24I know, but there is a new pair down at Ike's of gray flannels,
02:28and I thought maybe I could buy them.
02:30I was hoping you'd use that money for your graduation ring.
02:33Oh, yeah.
02:35Don't you think this is more important?
02:37I'm sure she's a nice girl, but I'm not sure she's...
02:40Oh, I hope she will.
02:42What in heaven are they bringing home this time?
02:44That looks like some kind of an animal to me.
02:47We just can't shop enough animals.
02:49How many times do I have to tell them
02:51not to bring every stray thing they find into the house?
02:56I doubt it.
02:58Not to give them to the barns.
03:01John!
03:03You shouldn't have got an animal there. It goes in the barn.
03:05I've got enough wild things roaming around the house.
03:07Oh, Mama.
03:08Where'd you get that, son?
03:09In the woods, Daddy. I found it lying under a tree.
03:12Yeah, let's have a look at it.
03:14Careful of him, Grandpa. I think his wing is hurt.
03:16He's kind of trailing along the ground.
03:18Dang, it looks half scared to death.
03:20Yeah, he is just a little weak.
03:22Looks like some kind of a seabird to me.
03:24A seagull, maybe.
03:26Just look at his webbed feet.
03:29A seabird?
03:30Why would it fly all the way from the sea to Walton's Mountain?
03:33Well, maybe it got blown inland by the storm.
03:35Yeah.
03:36You find me a box, Elizabeth, and keep her in.
03:39I'll take a look at her wing.
03:41Come on, Nurse Elizabeth.
03:43I'll see you stays in the barn.
03:45Another orphan?
03:47Blown in by the storm.
03:49Poor thing, it's exhausted and its wing is hurt. Where are you going?
03:51Over to Mrs. McKenzie.
03:53After she took that fall last month, I've been trying to look in on her from time to time.
03:57Better let John boy drive you over there. The road's pretty bad.
04:00You won't need him?
04:01Spare him for a while. You hurry back, though.
04:03Okay.
04:06Grandma, you mind if we stop off at the store first?
04:10I'd just like you to take a look at something for me.
04:12All right.
04:30Now, what size are they?
04:32Those are 30 waist.
04:34I'm a 28 myself.
04:36Well, your mama or your grandma can take it in for you.
04:40Now, how much would they be?
04:42It's $2.35.
04:45But that's a very fine piece of cloth.
04:49Well, what do you think, Grandma?
04:51That's pure wool. Import it.
04:53I felt better.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Well?
04:58They'll look very nice on you, John.
05:00It's just $2.35.
05:06Hello, Marsha.
05:08Hi, John boy Walton. What are you doing? Buying a new pair of breeches?
05:11Oh, no. Grandma and I just...
05:13How are you, Miss Walton?
05:15Oh, right fine for a person my age.
05:25I... I think Livvy could use a half a pound of sugar.
05:29Right away, Miss Walton.
05:33Hey, Marsha, what about Saturday night?
05:36What about it?
05:39Well, you are going with me, aren't you?
05:42Well, reckon I will, but I need a little more time to decide.
05:46Now, Marsha, the dance is going to be in two days.
05:49Three days, if you count today.
05:53Look, I really have to know pretty soon.
05:55I think I'll see you in school, John boy.
05:57Bye, Miss Walton.
05:59John boy, I want to get over to Maggie's.
06:02Large size, a half pound of coffee and a quarter pound of bologna.
06:06Mama said to slice it real...
06:14Mama said to slice it real thin and two pounds of sugar...
06:37Thanks, John boy.
06:38All right.
06:42That's an oil. I've been waiting on you.
06:58Maggie McKenzie!
07:00What in the world are you doing?
07:03Trying to get this engine started is what I'm doing.
07:07Oh, good Lord, you're not thinking of driving again, are you?
07:10And why not?
07:12I cannot find what's wrong with the thing.
07:16Though I must admit, I'm no mechanic.
07:19I can't imagine what Dr. Vance is going to say.
07:22I can't.
07:23Ma'am, when did you drive this last?
07:25About five weeks ago.
07:28But twice a week I've been starting it up to keep the batteries charged.
07:32And the engine turned over.
07:34Would you be knowing what's wrong with it?
07:37Could be the spark plugs.
07:40Spark plugs? Is that very bad?
07:43No, they just might need changing is all.
07:46Would you do it? I'd pay you for your time.
07:48There's no need for that, just for the parts.
07:51Well, come in the house then while I get my heart back.
08:02Buy whatever is needed.
08:04Okay, I'll check it one more time to make sure it's the spark plugs.
08:09A nice boy. He has the look of his father about him.
08:13I know.
08:14And Zeb too. The eyes.
08:17No, John boy has more my eyes. I brought you these.
08:21Oh, Esther, how nice of you. How about a cup of tea?
08:24I'd like that.
08:27Oh, Maggie.
08:31Esther, would you mind putting the kettle on for me?
08:35Come on, you sit down.
08:40You sit right down.
08:42Oh, I don't seem to have any energy left.
08:45Well, you could have if you didn't use it all up for me with that old car.
08:50Esther, get away with that thing.
08:52You're worse than the doctor trying to make an invalid out of me.
08:55You stop changing the subject.
08:57Keeping that old car is just plain foolishness.
09:00Why don't you sell it then?
09:02I can.
09:03And why not?
09:05Not yet. I need it.
09:07What for?
09:09Because on Saturday there's somewhere I have to go.
09:13Oh, I suppose you're planning to drive to the school dance, hmm?
09:17Oh, don't be foolish.
09:19You must know I'm going to celebrate my wedding anniversary.
09:24Your wedding anniversary?
09:26Aye. It ought to be our 55th.
09:29Well, now, why can't you celebrate it right here at home?
09:33Because I'm going back to the place where I was married.
09:37And that's all I'm telling you.
09:40Maggie, I...
09:41No more questions.
09:43Esther Walton, you're a nosier old woman than I am.
09:48Now, why don't you make us both a cup of tea?
09:52Ah...
10:15Jan, Elizabeth, come on.
10:17You're going to be late for school.
10:19Got another one.
10:20Don't splash it.
10:22Okay, I won't.
10:23Come on.
10:32Think you got it now?
10:33Yeah.
10:34We got two. We got two!
10:36I doubt if that bird will eat them.
10:38Well, we'll see about that.
10:39If we give it fish, then it won't be homesick.
10:41Isn't that right, John Boyd?
10:42I reckon so.
10:43Uh, look, you children go on to school.
10:46There's something I gotta get at Ike's.
10:47Well, we'll go with you.
10:48No, you won't.
10:49Can't we come?
10:50Please?
10:51Look, I just said go on to school, okay?
10:53Probably going to buy diamonds and pearls from Marsha Woolery.
11:03You're not making a mistake, John Boyd.
11:05This is a real good pair of flannel britches.
11:07Cost a pretty penny.
11:08Well, if you're gonna buy quality, you gotta pay for quality.
11:10I reckon.
11:11Who are you taking?
11:12Marsha Woolery, I think.
11:15I thought I told you kids to get on to school.
11:17How'd you like my new flannel britches, Marsha?
11:19Well, I don't know, John Boyd.
11:21I reckon I like them, but I'm just not sure.
11:23Seeing as how it's just so hard for me to make up my mind.
11:25Marsha!
11:26Jason Mariella, you better move.
11:33$2.35.
11:36Don't pay him no mind, John Boyd.
11:41Thanks, Ike.
11:48Marsha?
11:50Hello, John Boyd.
11:52What time do you want me to pick you up on Saturday?
11:54I already told you, I haven't decided whether I'm going with you.
11:57Now, Marsha Woolery, you gotta stop messing around with me like this.
12:01Changing your mind from one minute to the next.
12:04What's it gonna be, yes or no?
12:06Changing your mind is a woman's per...
12:10Prerogative?
12:11Yes.
12:12Well, then I'm gonna have to change my mind.
12:15Prerogative?
12:17Yes, prerogative.
12:18I read it in a book on etiqu...
12:21Etiquette?
12:24You are the smartest thing.
12:29Now, Marsha...
12:31I guess you better come around 7 o'clock.
12:33Come on.
12:43To sorrow I fade with morrow and thought to leave her far away behind.
12:47But cheerily, cheerily, she loves me dearly.
12:50She is so constant and so kind.
12:52Keats.
12:53Purple?
12:54John Keats.
12:55Best love poems I ever read.
12:57They sure were.
12:58Cheerily, cheerily, she loves me dearly.
13:00I always was partial to them lines.
13:02Where'd you learn those lines?
13:03Well, an old boy like me has a few secrets.
13:05Come on, you tell me.
13:06Well, you must know I read that same poem over 30 years ago in a Charlottesville paper.
13:11In a newspaper?
13:12Every Saturday night in those days, they would publish a special poem right under the weekend weather.
13:16I got me considerable of a repertory.
13:19Half a league, half a league, half a league onwards on into the valley of death rode the 600.
13:26Forward the light brigade, charge for the guns, he said.
13:30Into the valley of death rode the 600.
13:33Cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left of them, cannon in front of them.
13:42Okay, turn around.
13:50John boy, were you out still?
13:51How do you expect me to fix this?
13:53Will you dance it, John boy?
13:56Come on everybody, Grandpa's taking the bird out of its cage.
13:58Hey, we'll be right out, Erin.
14:00Okay, I think I finished here.
14:02You go upstairs and take him off.
14:03Mary Ellen, will you put the stuff away for me, please?
14:05Okay.
14:07John boy, I'll get you.
14:14My God, Elizabeth, he might peck you.
14:18How is it?
14:19Well, wing seems to be better, but you know he hasn't eaten a thing.
14:23I gave him some fish, but he won't eat it.
14:26Grandpa, you think we ought to put him back, let him rest?
14:28I think so.
14:30Let that bird rest and just leave him alone, that's what he needs.
14:34Do you think he'll die, Grandpa?
14:35Birds make up their own minds about living or dying and this one here hasn't decided yet.
14:42That's right, now come on everybody.
14:44Leave him alone.
14:46He needs a little rest, come on everybody.
14:53Come on.
15:09Hello, John boy.
15:11Hey, Doc.
15:12I know it must be either you or your father, I recognize your truck outside.
15:17Well, is it working?
15:19We're going to find out.
15:24It's working.
15:26Spark plugs.
15:30Are you going to drive it?
15:33No, I'm just getting it to run.
15:35Any special reason?
15:38Mrs. McKenzie just wanted it fixed.
15:41I might have known it.
15:42When is she ever going to listen to what I say?
15:45Is she in the house?
15:46I don't know, she was about a half hour ago when I got here.
15:49Of course, that doesn't mean she's still there.
15:50Half an hour is enough time for that woman to organize an expedition and be off up the Amazon River.
16:01How am I?
16:03Much the same.
16:05If you take care of yourself, you should be all right.
16:10You worry too much.
16:13Only when I'm given cause.
16:15Doctor, in a roundabout way, would you be trying to tell me something?
16:26Why is John Boy Walton fixing your car?
16:29Because it needs mending.
16:31No other reason?
16:33I intend driving it.
16:35Where to?
16:37To the seaside.
16:39Maggie, have you taken complete leave of your senses?
16:42Do you know how far that is?
16:43Very well.
16:45About half a day's journey there and back.
16:48Well, I absolutely forbid it.
16:50I'm afraid I'm going just the same.
16:53Now, Maggie, you know perfectly well the condition your heart is in.
16:57Now, I'm warning you.
16:59You drive that car any farther than the end of this road, and you'll probably kill yourself.
17:03And if I do, it'll be no one's fault but my own.
17:06It'll be no one's fault but my own.
17:14You be responsible, Doctor.
17:19Maggie McKenzie, you may very well be the most stubborn, willful, cantankerous old woman I ever met in my life.
17:27But if anything ever happened to you, I...
17:32I'd miss you very much.
17:33Very much.
17:35Very much indeed.
17:39Well, I'll look in on Monday.
17:42I'll be here.
17:44I hope you will.
17:46Goodbye.
17:48Oh, excuse me, Doctor.
17:50Bye.
17:53The man's a worrier.
17:55Well, did you fix my car?
17:58Sure did. New spark plugs.
18:01You're a born mechanic.
18:04I'll get us both a cup of tea to celebrate.
18:07Oh, great. Here's a towel.
18:09Make yourself at home while I get the tea things.
18:13Will you move the things off that table for me? It's handy to put the tea tray on.
18:18Oh, certainly.
18:31Oh.
18:42They say a watch pot never boils.
18:48I see you found my photograph album.
18:51Yes.
18:53Is it private? I'm sorry.
18:55That's what it's there for, to be looked at.
18:57Oh, yes.
18:59Sit a bit.
19:01And rest my weary legs.
19:03Sit. Sit.
19:07Ma'am, would you tell me who this young girl is?
19:10Let me see.
19:17Ahem.
19:19Me.
19:21Oh, that is you, eh?
19:23Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you.
19:24Don't apologize.
19:26It was taken a long time ago.
19:28But I, that young girl, is me.
19:31What about this picture here?
19:33Of all the people standing on the deck of the ship.
19:36Isn't that you, standing there in the white dress?
19:39Aye.
19:41What's everyone standing around you for?
19:43Because it was my wedding day.
19:45Your wedding day, huh?
19:47Oh, then this young man standing next to you here must be your husband.
19:51Aye, that's Michael.
19:52And there next to him, in his uniform with the gold braid and the brass buttons, is the captain.
20:00That's Michael.
20:02That's me.
20:06Tell me, why'd you get married on board a ship?
20:09Because I'd just arrived from Scotland.
20:11You see, Michael had left for America the year before.
20:14And when he got settled, he sent for me.
20:17We were spoken for, as they called it then.
20:20Michael came down to the harbor to meet me.
20:23He got permission to come on board, and the captain married us.
20:27Well, who were all these people standing around?
20:30Passengers. First class, second class, and the friends I made in steerage.
20:36And do you know something?
20:39When Michael put the ring on my finger and kissed me,
20:42everyone on that big ship, the society people, the sailors, and the immigrants,
20:49they all sent up a cheer.
20:52So loud that the tugboats across the harbor heard the cry and took it up,
20:58honking their horns and shooting great whale spouts of water up into the sunlight.
21:06Oh, John boy.
21:12It seemed as if the whole world was rejoicing with us.
21:17Then the captain kissed me on the cheek and wished us both a happy life in America.
21:25And would you believe it?
21:29Hand me my bag. There on the desk.
21:43The captain gave me this.
21:47That's a $20 gold piece.
21:51What a wedding present.
21:54It's a 1879.
21:581879 was also the year of our marriage.
22:02And the 16th of the month would be our 55th wedding anniversary.
22:07That's tomorrow.
22:09Aye, tomorrow it is.
22:12She's really in mint condition, isn't she?
22:15Aye, and I'll never spend it.
22:19Even last year when President Roosevelt said we had to hand in all our gold coins,
22:25I just couldn't bring myself to part with it.
22:29I'm sure Mr. Roosevelt would understand.
22:32If not, I'm sure he would.
22:34What about Michael, your husband?
22:37He died 25 years after we were married.
22:41I'm sorry.
22:43We had a good life together.
22:45I never regretted a thing.
22:48Not one minute of it.
22:51And do you know something?
22:54Every year on our anniversary we journey back to America.
23:00Every year on our anniversary we journey back to the sea.
23:06And we'd stand together on the beach.
23:10And Michael would take me to a special restaurant.
23:14We'd have a fine meal.
23:17And we'd dance to the little orchestra they had.
23:20Oh, what a time we had.
23:23I wish you could have seen us kicking up our heels to the music.
23:27I can just imagine it.
23:30Once, just once before I die on my anniversary, I'm going to do that again.
23:38Journey back to the sea.
23:41And stand on the beach and look out over the waves.
23:46And see in my mind's eye the coast of Scotland where Michael and me were born.
23:53Just once more I'm going to smell the sea.
24:00And taste that salty taste on my tongue.
24:04And feel the wind in my face.
24:08Well, I'm sure you will.
24:11I, I will.
24:14Very soon.
24:16I'll get it.
24:18No, better me. You wouldn't do it right.
24:23First, you must warm the pot.
24:27Violet water, that's the secret of a good cup of tea.
24:32Well, thank you for the tea.
24:35Thank you for mending my car.
24:37And for letting a boring old woman talk your ear off.
24:40Oh, don't be silly. I wasn't bored at all.
24:42Now, Miss McKenzie, if you have any more trouble with your car,
24:47just send for me and I'll fix her up for you again.
24:49I didn't hear what you said.
24:51I said if you have any more trouble with your car,
24:54just send for me and I'll fix it up for you.
24:56Aye, thank you.
24:58Bye-bye.
25:00Bye.
25:19Oh!
25:49Oh!
26:20Sorry, John boy.
26:22But I'm afraid you will have to come back.
26:25I need you.
26:35Hey there, John.
26:37Hey, Daddy.
26:41We sure been needing that.
26:44Rice oil's going up again.
26:47Rice oil's going up again.
26:49Again?
26:51John boy, here's a note. Got for you at Godsey's.
26:53Who's it from?
26:55I don't know. He didn't say and I didn't open it.
26:57I tell you, Grandpa, sometimes I think no matter how hard a man works,
27:00it's impossible to make a living.
27:02Shoot.
27:04Miss McKenzie's car broke down again.
27:06She wants me to go over and fix it up for her.
27:08Go help her, son.
27:10Daddy, I was over there for an hour yesterday.
27:12It was working fine. I'll do it tomorrow.
27:14Look, she's an old lady.
27:15She's been sick.
27:17She needs that car to get around in.
27:19You better give her a hand.
27:21Where's your toolbox?
27:23Front seat.
27:25Okay. I'll be home for dinner.
27:27We'll be ready in a second, Grandpa.
27:29Let me just boil this up in here.
27:33Nope.
27:35I don't know what's wrong with it.
27:37It was working fine yesterday.
27:39I know.
27:41Of course, it could be your battery.
27:43Look, ma'am, if I can't find out what's wrong with it,
27:45you better hire yourself a regular mechanic to take a look at it.
27:50Now, wait a minute. What's this?
27:52Well, that's peculiar.
27:54What?
27:56Well...
27:59Ma'am, I hate to tell you this,
28:01but it looks like somebody's been playing jokes on you.
28:03One of the connecting wires has been torn out.
28:06No one's been playing jokes.
28:08I pulled the wire out.
28:12Well, what did you do that for?
28:15I had to find a way to get you to come back.
28:18Well, why didn't you just send for me?
28:21I knew what were your work and going to the dance,
28:25but unless it seemed urgent,
28:27you wouldn't come back.
28:29I must confess that I...
28:31I don't know what this is all about.
28:34I've got to get to the sea,
28:36and I cannot get there by myself.
28:39Well, I can take you to the sea next week.
28:42Oh, next week's no good.
28:45It's got to be today.
28:48I'm afraid I can't.
28:50I'm afraid I can't.
28:52I'm afraid I can't.
28:55I'm afraid I can't.
28:56Why not today?
29:01Because today's your wedding anniversary, isn't it?
29:03Aye, that's right.
29:10Well, ma'am,
29:12look, I know how important that is to you.
29:15And I'm sorry, but
29:17see, even if we left right now,
29:19we wouldn't get back till midnight,
29:21and I promised this young lady
29:23that I'd take her to the dance tonight.
29:24Hundreds of them. You're young.
29:28I promise that next year I'll take you out to see the ocean for your anniversary.
29:33No. That's no good.
29:37Yesterday I... I might have been willing to wait.
29:41But now I... I cannot.
29:45Ma'am, I don't mean to be rude, but you did get me here under false pretenses.
29:51I'm sorry, but I can't help you.
29:54I'm sorry.
30:10Well, I guess she's working okay now.
30:15I guess I better be getting home.
30:19Mr. McKenzie, you wouldn't be planning to drive out there by yourself, would you?
30:25You do what you have to do, John boy.
30:28And I'll do what I have to do.
30:33Well, I'll be going.
30:55John boy!
31:02John boy!
31:03John boy, he ate the fish! He ate it!
31:06He really ate it! Come here!
31:10Come and see! He ate all the fish!
31:12Shit, Elizabeth, you'll scare him!
31:13It is better now, isn't it, Grandpa?
31:15I do believe our little boy gull is somewhat better.
31:17Can we keep it, Grandpa?
31:19It wouldn't live. There's something inside it, yearning, tugging to reach the sea again.
31:23Wouldn't it be happy here?
31:25Life is a mysterious thing, and every life has needs.
31:28This life needs the sea again.
31:31The circle and the salty air and breathe the ocean spray.
31:34But if it's going to get all the way back to the sea again,
31:37it's going to need all the strength and help that we can give it.
31:47Mama, no!
31:49Don't! Don't!
31:51Ike's got to take him back.
31:53What?
31:55Take him back?
31:57John boy!
31:58What's got into him?
32:01John boy!
32:05Where's he going?
32:06I don't know. He said he'd explain later.
32:08Well, I don't understand. He said Ike Godsey had to take back his new britches.
32:11Is John boy going to the dance without his britches on?
32:15Look, Ike, I don't have time to go to Marsha's myself,
32:17so if I wrote her a note, would you give it to her when she comes in?
32:21There's thirty, thirty-five, two dollars.
32:25That's two dollars and thirty-five cents.
32:28You know I hate to return something to you after I've bought it.
32:30Oh, that's all right. Don't worry about it.
32:34You going to write her a note?
32:43John boy?
32:46Marsha.
32:51I was just going to write you a note.
32:52A note about what?
33:00I'm afraid I can't take you to the dance.
33:03What do you mean?
33:05Well, I can't really explain it now. Something's come up.
33:07An illness in the family?
33:09No, no.
33:09A death?
33:10No, it's nothing like that.
33:12Then what?
33:13Well, see, I have to take Maggie...
33:16John boy, what?
33:18I am telling you that I swear.
33:20I swear on a stack of Bibles that I will never, never speak to you again as long as I live.
33:24No, no, Marsha. You don't...
33:25Marsha, you...
33:50Mrs. McKenzie?
33:53I'll take you.
33:55Where?
33:56To look at the sea.
33:58Are you sure you want to be seen with an old piece of baggage like me?
34:03Come on.
34:06This way.
34:12You take the high road and I'll take the low road.
34:17You take the high road and I'll take the low road.
34:22I'll be in Scotland for four years.
34:27For me and my true love we'll never meet again.
34:33On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
34:43What is it?
34:44Can't you smell it?
34:46What?
34:47Sniff.
34:50The sea.
34:52The sea.
35:16Come on.
35:46You don't have to stay here with me.
35:55Well, maybe I'll just go up to those rocks there for a while.
35:58Go as far as you want. I'm quite all right.
36:01Okay.
36:02Come on.
36:15Ha ha ha!
36:22Ha ha ha!
36:32Ha ha ha!
36:42Ha ha ha!
37:02Ooh!
37:19Ma'am?
37:21Ma'am?
37:23Aye.
37:24It's getting a little chilly, isn't it?
37:26Aye, it is.
37:29That's where I came from.
37:32That's where I was born.
37:34All the way out there across those waves.
37:41Ha ha!
38:02Ha ha ha!
38:20If only I could remember the name.
38:22I know it was down here somewhere.
38:24Are you sure?
38:25Of course I'm sure.
38:27Ma'am, when were you there last?
38:29Oh, I told you it was...
38:33Oh, that would be 30 years ago.
38:36Oh, but it might still be here.
38:39It's not. I'm sure we could find someplace.
38:41Oh, it might.
38:44The mermaid!
38:46There it is.
38:51Oh!
38:52I remember it now.
38:54The mermaid!
38:59The mermaid!
39:13You ready to order, sir?
39:15Yes.
39:16The lady will have the scallops, and I'll have the lobster.
39:20Broiled or thermidor, sir?
39:22What?
39:23Broiled or thermidor?
39:26I seem to remember the broiled lobster was very good.
39:31Yes, I'll have the broiled lobster this evening.
39:34Sir.
39:38Looks just the same.
39:40It hasn't hardly changed at all.
39:44What's it like?
39:45What?
39:46The lobster. I've read about it, but I've never tasted it.
39:49It's delicious.
40:01I hope it isn't too expensive.
40:04Just fine.
40:05You sure?
40:06Mm-hmm.
40:07You have enough with you?
40:08Yes.
40:10How much is it?
40:12It's just $2.10.
40:14Ah.
40:16You think 25 cents is enough for a tip?
40:19Sounds more than enough to me.
40:22♪
40:32♪
40:52He's playing a tune Michael and me used to dance to.
40:58You want to dance?
41:01Oh, my dancing days are long since past.
41:06I don't believe that.
41:08Get on with you.
41:10Come on.
41:12♪
41:30♪
42:00♪
42:31♪
42:38Then I thought the lobster claw
42:40was just gonna jump right out of my hand on the floor.
42:43What a curiosity that would have been.
42:46Oh, thanks.
42:50We're almost home now.
42:52Yeah.
42:54♪ Oh, you take the high road
42:57and I'll take the low road, and I'll be in Scotland afore you.
43:03For me and my true love will never meet again
43:08on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
43:14What is it?
43:16What is it?
43:19My arm.
43:21My chest.
43:22They're failing me.
43:25Let me, I'll just pull over, let me pull over.
43:27No.
43:29I'm all right.
43:31But you must get me home.
43:34Okay, right now.
43:36Listen here, son.
43:54You gotta stop blaming yourself.
43:57You heard what Dr. Vance said.
44:00Their heart's been ready to give out for over a year.
44:03Just a matter of time.
44:08I should have known that.
44:11I shouldn't have driven her there.
44:13If you hadn't driven her, she would have driven herself.
44:18I shouldn't have done that.
44:21She was bound and determined to get there.
44:27I reckon.
44:40She'd like to see you, John boy.
44:54John boy?
44:56Is that you?
44:58Yes, ma'am.
45:03I'm dying, John boy.
45:08That wearying doctor and me have known it for a long time.
45:14Maggie, save your strength.
45:17Maggie?
45:19He's still washing me about.
45:26I, I want to thank you, John boy.
45:31For giving me the happiest time I've had in 30 years.
45:41The very best.
45:47Well, I purely enjoyed every minute of it.
45:51Where's my bag?
45:54My bag?
45:56Where is it?
45:57It's all right, Maggie, it's here.
46:04Inside.
46:07There's a pocket in the light.
46:22It's for you.
46:26No, no, this is your wedding gift.
46:29No.
46:31It's my gift.
46:34To you.
47:02Here, John boy, we're setting him free.
47:31They're all over us.
47:33All right, little boy, go.
47:38Ready?
47:40One, two, three, go.
47:43Bye.
47:44Bye.
47:45Bye.
47:46Bye.
47:47Bye.
47:48Bye.
47:49Bye.
47:53Some people are drawn to oceans and others to the shimmering sands of deserts.
47:59Others feel only at home on land that flows beside a river.
48:04My people were drawn to mountains.
48:07And there on Walton's Mountain, we were to share the fun and excitement of growing up together.
48:13The boundless love of our mother and father and a daily exploration of many of the wonders that lie in the human heart.
48:23Mama, Mary Ellen's going to set the house on fire.
48:26Come on, Ben, Mary Ellen started a fire.
48:28Come in, Jason.
48:29She's reading in bed by candlelight.
48:31Keeping everyone awake.
48:32What's going on in there?
48:34It's all right, Mama, I'm reading the Bible.
48:36She is not, Mama, she's reading Secrets of the Silver Screen.
48:38Tattletale.
48:39Mama, the boys are over in our room teasing us.
48:41All right, everybody, back to your own room and settle down.
