00:00:00Look at those feet.
00:00:13Does that mean...
00:00:14Yeah, he's gonna be a big one.
00:00:16Wow.
00:00:17What do you say?
00:00:18Thank you.
00:00:19Just take good care of him.
00:00:21Bring him back in a couple of weeks for vaccinations, okay?
00:00:24Hi Lydia.
00:00:25Hi.
00:00:26Bye now.
00:00:27Bye bye.
00:00:28Thanks.
00:00:30Which one did she take?
00:00:31The floppy-eared one.
00:00:32How are you doing?
00:00:33Good.
00:00:34Almost finished.
00:00:35Okay.
00:00:36There we go.
00:00:37Want to go see the Taj Mahal?
00:00:39I'll go anywhere with you, baby.
00:00:41Oh, you picked my favorite one.
00:00:44If I might be so bold, I called him Bentley.
00:00:52Get out of there.
00:00:53All right, all right.
00:00:54How am I supposed to know when my next appointment is?
00:00:57Oh, it's in a half an hour.
00:00:58But it's Elmer.
00:00:59If he's on time, I'll do cartwheels.
00:01:00I'd kind of like to see that.
00:01:01No, you wouldn't.
00:01:02All right.
00:01:03Ready?
00:01:04All right.
00:01:05Hurry up, Elmer.
00:01:06Come on.
00:01:07I thought they'd be further along.
00:01:19We've had a lot of rain.
00:01:28Hey, Sam.
00:01:29Liddy?
00:01:30Hi.
00:01:31What's up?
00:01:32Came to take a look.
00:01:33What do you think?
00:01:34Nice hole?
00:01:35Well, we've had a lot of rain.
00:01:36That's what I said.
00:01:37Can't dig in the rain.
00:01:38You guys in a hurry?
00:01:39You want to fill this house up with some babies?
00:01:40Yep.
00:01:41Someday.
00:01:43Here.
00:01:44Go get some good weather.
00:01:45We'll be fine.
00:01:46Sure.
00:01:47Someday.
00:01:50Here.
00:01:51We'll get some good weather, we'll be fine.
00:01:53Sure.
00:02:11I've got the Turley sheep and then a check up on Joe's pregnant cow.
00:02:14Okay. Call me when you're headed home.
00:02:16Bye.
00:02:34Hi, Sam.
00:02:35Hey.
00:02:37How's your dog doing, Brad?
00:02:38He's looking good, Doc. Dermatitis is practically all gone.
00:02:41Yeah, but he's got a rash of his own. Show him.
00:02:43He wants to use the dog medicine.
00:02:46I wouldn't do that.
00:02:47I told him that.
00:02:49Why? Want to wake?
00:02:50Not unless you want to wake up one morning barking like a dog.
00:02:53Well, that'd be an improvement.
00:02:55Wouldn't it?
00:02:56See ya.
00:02:57Bye.
00:03:13Hey, kid! Get over here and help me!
00:03:32Hurry!
00:03:35Come here!
00:03:39Get over here!
00:03:44Oh!
00:03:51Tetracycline.
00:03:54Campbell's hound lacerated his paw.
00:03:57Did you find it?
00:03:58No.
00:04:01Where is it?
00:04:02Tiny hairline fracture. Right above the joint.
00:04:07You don't need reading glasses, do you?
00:04:09No.
00:04:11Just wondering.
00:04:14Hey.
00:04:15Hey.
00:04:16What's up?
00:04:17Just passing by.
00:04:20Thought I'd stop in.
00:04:23Busy?
00:04:25Yeah.
00:04:31Don't mean to interrupt.
00:04:32I saw her.
00:04:33How come you didn't tell me?
00:04:34I was on a call.
00:04:35I saw her, too, down at the gas station.
00:04:37Hi, Ross.
00:04:38Need some help?
00:04:39Elmer just showed up, and I've got the Campbell dog.
00:04:42Elmer's appointment? It was yesterday.
00:04:44That's Elmer.
00:04:45All right, you take him, would you? I'll take the Campbell dog.
00:04:48What brings you here?
00:04:49He needs a distemper shot.
00:04:55She asked about you.
00:04:58I'll catch up with her.
00:05:00I'll catch up with her.
00:05:02I'll catch up with her.
00:05:04I'll catch up with her.
00:05:05I'll catch up with her.
00:05:32Rupert!
00:05:36Rupert!
00:05:42Look what I found.
00:05:43What is it?
00:05:44What do you mean, what is it?
00:05:49Drum set, doofus.
00:05:52Whose are they?
00:05:53Belong to an old friend of mine.
00:05:54What was his name?
00:05:55Ben.
00:05:57He asked me to keep them for him because he didn't have room.
00:06:01Can I play them?
00:06:03Can I play them really loud?
00:06:05Yeah, just do me a favor and wait till I get downstairs.
00:06:20Let her rip!
00:06:33So, what did you think?
00:06:36About what?
00:06:38The movie.
00:06:39Well, I liked it.
00:06:40You did not.
00:06:42Why do you say that?
00:06:44You kept looking at your watch.
00:06:47I guess I did, didn't I?
00:06:52Sam, where are you?
00:06:55I'm right here.
00:06:57Oh, that ought to do it, Walter.
00:06:59Just give it a week or so.
00:07:00I can't pay you the next week, Sam.
00:07:03Don't look at me.
00:07:05We know where you live.
00:07:06Oh, thanks.
00:07:08Your 3.30 canceled.
00:07:13I guess I'll run out to Joe's, check on that cow.
00:07:16Weren't you just there yesterday?
00:07:18Yeah.
00:07:19She's very close.
00:07:21You're acting like an expectant father.
00:07:23Are you going to help me?
00:07:24You're acting like an expectant father.
00:07:26Are you going to hand out cigars?
00:07:54Knock, knock, knock.
00:08:07Hi.
00:08:10Your mom around?
00:08:11No.
00:08:14She went to the store.
00:08:17My name's Sam. I'm an old friend of your mother's.
00:08:25Hey.
00:08:29I used to live next door. This is my house right here.
00:08:31That was my room right there.
00:08:37So you're quite the basketball player.
00:08:39Yeah.
00:08:46How about that?
00:08:51Well, I'll just...
00:08:55I'll come around another time.
00:09:05Okay, Joe. I'll tell her.
00:09:08Okay. Okay.
00:09:11Where's Sam?
00:09:12Oh, I don't know. He said he was going to go check on Joe Lieber's cow.
00:09:17Maybe she's already had her calf.
00:09:19Well, she did.
00:09:21But Sam wasn't there.
00:09:22Hmm.
00:09:30Where'd you go?
00:09:33Well, I had to go check on Joe's cow.
00:09:38Joe called. The cow had her calf. He said you weren't there.
00:09:45Uh, I didn't make it, so...
00:09:47How come?
00:09:48How come?
00:09:50Sam, but...
00:09:52Oh, Sam, someone wants to see you.
00:09:54Right.
00:10:00I think we've solved the mystery.
00:10:03That dog's cute.
00:10:12Hi, Sam.
00:10:19Oh.
00:10:24God, I've expected a bigger hello.
00:10:27I'm surprised to see you.
00:10:31Trooper? Is this the guy who stopped by?
00:10:34Mm-hmm.
00:10:35I heard that you were in town. I'm just... surprised.
00:10:42So, you already met my son, Trooper?
00:10:44No. No, not officially. I'm Sam.
00:10:46I'm Sam.
00:10:47Hi.
00:10:48Dude, what do you do when someone offers you their hand?
00:10:53What else?
00:10:55Nice to meet you.
00:10:56Nice to meet you, too.
00:11:00I told Troop that you were a veterinarian, and he wanted to come by right away because he loves animals.
00:11:05Is that right?
00:11:08Well, I might know a puppy who needs a home. I suppose you'd be interested?
00:11:15Please, Mom?
00:11:17Wow. You have to take care of him.
00:11:20I will.
00:11:21Come on.
00:11:22All right.
00:11:24All right. I'll wait right here.
00:11:27Do you even know how to take care of a dog?
00:11:30What are you going to do?
00:11:41Made a deal.
00:11:45Okay.
00:11:52A gummy bear. You want another?
00:11:54Okay.
00:11:55I'm Rosemary.
00:11:56Trooper.
00:11:59Oh, Sam.
00:12:07What's his name?
00:12:10It's up to you.
00:12:12Thanks, Sam. I think.
00:12:14If you won't bring him back here whenever he needs anything, it'll be on the house.
00:12:17I'll take good care of him.
00:12:19Hey.
00:12:21Good boy.
00:12:24Hi, Alice. Go ahead and take her on back to number two. I'll be there in a minute.
00:12:29Alice?
00:12:31It's me, Dee Dee.
00:12:34Dee Dee Michaud?
00:12:35Yeah, and this is my son, Trooper.
00:12:39Well, hello, Trooper.
00:12:41Why, my goodness, I haven't seen you since—
00:12:43Yeah, about 13 years.
00:12:45Are you just visiting?
00:12:46No, I'm here to stay.
00:12:48Well, good for you.
00:12:54Sam, I can see that you're busy. We'll catch up later?
00:12:57Okay.
00:12:58Okay. Trooper.
00:13:00Thanks for the puppy.
00:13:02You're welcome.
00:13:03Bye, Rosemary.
00:13:04Bye.
00:13:06Give him a good home.
00:13:08I will.
00:13:13Bye.
00:13:28Why didn't you just tell me the truth at the office?
00:13:30I didn't want Rosemary gossiping.
00:13:32About what?
00:13:34About Dee Dee.
00:13:35What about Dee Dee?
00:13:36Oh, just nothing.
00:13:38You were worried she'd gossip about nothing?
00:13:40We were friends.
00:13:42We grew up together.
00:13:43I mean, I've known the girl since I was three years old.
00:13:46She and Ross and I hung out.
00:13:47I mean, she was fun.
00:13:50Fun?
00:13:51We were just friends, okay?
00:13:53People gossip about friends here.
00:13:55It's a small town, Lydia.
00:13:56I mean, what do you know about small towns?
00:13:58You grew up in Boston.
00:13:59Oh, I don't know, Sam.
00:14:00Why don't you tell me what it's like to grow up in a small town?
00:14:03Tell me about your friend.
00:14:04What do you mean?
00:14:05I don't know. What's she like?
00:14:07She was a free spirit.
00:14:08Okay?
00:14:09Everybody in town knew her.
00:14:12Me, I was this shy little kid afraid of his own shadow.
00:14:18Once there was this kid who was sort of the neighborhood bully.
00:14:22He stole my baseball cards.
00:14:25Now, I pretended that it didn't matter, but it mattered to Dee Dee.
00:14:28She found him.
00:14:29She beat him up, and she got him all back for me.
00:14:31Oh, that was nice of her.
00:14:34You know, she didn't even care about what people thought about her.
00:14:38In the ninth grade, she gets caught smoking in the school bathroom.
00:14:42The principal takes her into his office.
00:14:44Before he can even get a word in, she offers him a cigarette.
00:14:48Mm-hmm.
00:14:54Anyway, on graduation day, she ran off with Bobby Langford.
00:15:00Can you pass me the olive oil?
00:15:04Is she the one you were going to give your class ring to?
00:15:09Who told you that?
00:15:10Ross.
00:15:12A long time ago.
00:15:14Yeah, she was the one.
00:15:18Pass me the pepper.
00:15:23Not until you tell me.
00:15:25Nothing to tell.
00:15:26Try me.
00:15:28Oh.
00:15:36I was planning on giving her my class ring the night before graduation.
00:15:40We were standing out on her porch, and I had it out.
00:15:43I had it in my hand, and I'm about to give it to her.
00:15:45But before I could say anything, she pops out with the news that she's going.
00:15:49Next day, gone.
00:15:50You never heard from her?
00:15:52A couple of postcards.
00:15:54One.
00:15:56From some small town in Kansas.
00:15:59Home of the world's biggest ball of twine.
00:16:02Ain't life a hoot, that's what it said.
00:16:04Nothing more.
00:16:11How come you never mentioned her?
00:16:14I didn't think it was that important.
00:16:26It's just that she was your first crush.
00:16:30I mean, if my first boyfriend came into town...
00:16:32Look, I...
00:16:34I got over it.
00:16:37I married this woman that I am absolutely crazy about.
00:16:42Really? What's she like?
00:16:44Ah, you'd have to know her.
00:16:48Is she pretty?
00:16:49Pretty?
00:16:50No.
00:16:51No, she's not.
00:16:52Is she pretty?
00:16:53Pretty? No.
00:16:56Movie star, beautiful.
00:16:58Smart as a whip.
00:17:01Let's see, terrific veterinarian, did I mention that?
00:17:04Loved by people and pets alike.
00:17:10I think we should ask them to dinner.
00:17:13Really?
00:17:16Gotta know the competition.
00:17:23Hi.
00:17:24Hey, Dee Dee, Trooper, Lydia.
00:17:27Nice to meet you.
00:17:28Hi, nice to meet you too.
00:17:29This is Trooper.
00:17:31Hi, Trooper.
00:17:32Hi.
00:17:35Hey, it was really nice to meet you.
00:17:39Well, come on inside.
00:17:41Oh, thanks.
00:17:43You're welcome.
00:17:45Hey, what's up?
00:17:47Hey, what's up?
00:17:49Hey, what's up?
00:17:50Come on inside.
00:17:57This is for you.
00:17:58Oh, thank you.
00:18:00Should I open it now?
00:18:01Sure.
00:18:02Okay.
00:18:09They're lovely.
00:18:11I'm glad you like them.
00:18:12I made them.
00:18:15They're beautiful.
00:18:17We can use them tonight at dinner.
00:18:20I'm still working in the kitchen.
00:18:22Oh, good.
00:18:23Let me help you.
00:18:29What are you making?
00:18:30Nothing fancy.
00:18:31Some roast chicken, mashed potatoes, carrots.
00:18:38Nut?
00:18:40Okay.
00:18:45Oh, I love candlelight dinners.
00:18:47Me too.
00:18:48Maybe you'll be a customer.
00:18:50A customer?
00:18:51I'm going to open up a candle shop.
00:18:53Here?
00:18:55Is that a bad idea?
00:18:56Well, no.
00:18:57It's not a bad idea.
00:18:59But...
00:19:03He's such a terrible liar.
00:19:06He's learning.
00:19:09Well, I just wonder if it's...
00:19:12if the town is large enough for a candle store.
00:19:14Yeah, I thought of that.
00:19:16But I figure if I offer candle making lessons, you know...
00:19:19What do you think, Lydia?
00:19:21Oh, I think you'll just have to try it and see.
00:19:23Would you be interested?
00:19:25Me?
00:19:27I don't have that much free time.
00:19:33So, how did you get interested in candle making?
00:19:37Well, it started as a hobby, but then I had to make a living.
00:19:41And I guess I just love what candles symbolize.
00:19:46Which is what?
00:19:47Home.
00:19:49I guess hopes and dreams and wishes.
00:19:54People light candles in church. They use them for prayer.
00:19:58Dude, you can't just eat before everybody starts.
00:20:01No, it's okay. It's okay. Dig in.
00:20:05So, Trooper.
00:20:07How'd you get the nickname Trooper?
00:20:10It's not a nickname.
00:20:11It's my real name.
00:20:13We've traveled around so much, we're like a small theater troupe.
00:20:17So you spell it with a U.
00:20:19Hm?
00:20:20T-R-O-U-P-E-R.
00:20:22No. T-R-O-O-P-E-R.
00:20:26I gave him the name so I figure he can spell it however he wants.
00:20:29Well, not really.
00:20:31Oh. Yeah, that's right. Because last year you wanted to spell it with three O's.
00:20:35Three O's.
00:20:45Troop, weren't you going to ask Sam something?
00:20:48Oh, yeah.
00:20:51Do you have lots of animals downstairs?
00:20:54We sure do.
00:20:56Can I see them?
00:20:58Sam, why don't you take Trooper down and show him our zoo?
00:21:01Good.
00:21:02All right, come on, Troop.
00:21:04Can I call you Troop?
00:21:05If you want to.
00:21:08Everybody calls me Sam.
00:21:10He's a nice boy.
00:21:11Yeah. He reminds me of Sam.
00:21:14Shy at first, but there's a lot going on underneath.
00:21:19I understand you're living in your childhood home.
00:21:21Yeah. Lots of memories there.
00:21:26What brings you back after all this time?
00:21:28My mom died and the house was just sitting there.
00:21:32But mostly for Trooper. I keep borrowing him with all my stories of how great it was to grow up here.
00:21:39How'd you and Sam meet?
00:21:40Oh, at Cornell. In vet school.
00:21:43He always wanted to be a vet.
00:21:47I guess you knew him pretty well.
00:21:49Yeah, hard not to. He lived next door.
00:21:52We spent every day together, especially in the summertime.
00:21:55So you moved back here after vet school?
00:21:58I was a city girl planning for country life.
00:22:02Slower pace, nicer people.
00:22:06You must have a lot of friends here.
00:22:09Yeah, I guess I do.
00:22:11But you married my best one.
00:22:14Well, this is where we operate.
00:22:19Is there a lot of blood and stuff?
00:22:21Sometimes.
00:22:23How's that puppy doing, by the way?
00:22:26He's fine.
00:22:28What do you call him?
00:22:30Chewbacca.
00:22:32Chewbacca.
00:22:34Chewbacca.
00:22:36Chewbacca.
00:22:38Chewbacca.
00:22:40Chewbacca.
00:22:42Chewbacca.
00:22:44Nice name. How'd you come up with that?
00:22:47He tried to eat my shoelaces.
00:22:52Are all these yours?
00:22:53No, they all belong to other people.
00:22:56Except this little guy.
00:22:59Actually, this is Chewbacca's brother.
00:23:04Want to see him?
00:23:05Sure.
00:23:07Do you need a toilet roll?
00:23:08It's kind of hard to find the time.
00:23:12Sorry.
00:23:14Thank you. Dinner was so good.
00:23:15You're welcome.
00:23:17Want me to walk you guys home?
00:23:20Get out of the way. Don't bother.
00:23:21Go ahead, Sam.
00:23:26I'll be right back.
00:23:27Got it?
00:23:28Yep.
00:23:32Enjoy.
00:23:33Remember that bike I bought with Barry picking money?
00:23:38When he sold it to me fair and square.
00:23:41I wish I had it back. I'd give it to Troop.
00:23:44What do you miss from the woman you have?
00:23:46Nothing. Just pure nostalgia.
00:23:49Nostalgia.
00:23:51Coming from the woman who could not wait to get out of here.
00:23:55It's funny, isn't it?
00:23:57Yes, it's true. You never appreciate what you have until it's gone.
00:24:02Hey Trooper, this is CJ's. That place I told you about.
00:24:07Same old place.
00:24:09Same old geezers.
00:24:11Except now I'm one of them.
00:24:19Where's his dad?
00:24:21Troop never knew his dad.
00:24:24He was less than a year old when Bobby left.
00:24:27Bobby?
00:24:29Yeah.
00:24:31Where'd he go?
00:24:33Alaska.
00:24:36He never really wanted kids.
00:24:38I can't say that I'm surprised.
00:24:41Sam, is that a polite way of saying I told you so?
00:24:47How about you and Lydia? Any plans for kids in the future?
00:24:50Kids?
00:24:52Yeah.
00:24:54Someday.
00:24:56I'm sure.
00:24:57Sure about what?
00:25:00We're financially secure. We're ready.
00:25:03We have time to devote to our families.
00:25:05You haven't changed a bit, Sam.
00:25:08I guess not.
00:25:10I wish I were more like you.
00:25:13Never thought I'd hear you say that.
00:25:14Oh, shut up. I have learned something in the last 13 years.
00:25:18Last few nights, I can't sleep. I wake up. I go to my window and look out at your window.
00:25:42It used to make me so comfortable, just knowing you were there.
00:25:51I'm so sorry, Sam.
00:25:54I'm sorry I fell off the map.
00:25:56Bobby and I got married right away. Trooper came a year later.
00:26:00I'm not making excuses, but I do really apologize.
00:26:05Don't even.
00:26:12It's kind of hard for Troop, you know, moving again to a new place. He's got to make new friends.
00:26:21He seems like a great kid.
00:26:23You know, in the meantime, I could use some help around the clinic.
00:26:27Someone to feed and look after the animals.
00:26:29He would love that. Thank you, Sam.
00:26:32I have to make trips back and forth to Boston. I didn't...
00:26:36This is perfect.
00:26:38What are you doing in Boston?
00:26:40Oh, I have to pick up supplies.
00:26:43Um, Lydia seems great.
00:26:46Yeah, she is great.
00:26:50I guess I got lucky.
00:26:59I offered to let Trooper help at the clinic. I hope you don't mind.
00:27:03No, it's fine. It'll be good for him.
00:27:07And good practice for you.
00:27:10You okay about tonight?
00:27:13Yeah, it wasn't as awkward as I'd imagined.
00:27:16She seems nice enough.
00:27:27So...
00:27:29You check the brand of the food with the amount on the card, and then you feed him out of the right one.
00:27:35Which one is it?
00:27:43This one.
00:27:46When you're working with a puppy, sometimes they can be tentative.
00:27:49You want to try to coax them into a behavior with reward, a treat, like this.
00:27:53So we want to have them come down the stairs.
00:27:56But keep your hand here so they don't fall.
00:27:57Come on, sweetness.
00:28:00Can I play with them after I feed them?
00:28:02I'd say that's a big part of the job.
00:28:04Really?
00:28:05Mm-hmm. You gotta feed them first.
00:28:11Wait, no.
00:28:12Just reach right at it.
00:28:13There you go.
00:28:23Yeah, okay, there you go.
00:28:25Do you want to give him the treat?
00:28:26Yeah.
00:28:27Okay.
00:28:28Reward him.
00:28:30Here you go.
00:28:31Good job.
00:28:32What's the dog's name?
00:28:33Jesse.
00:28:35Hi, Jesse.
00:28:37Hey, girl.
00:28:38Perfect, except he's a boy.
00:28:40Oh, sorry, Jesse.
00:28:44Good.
00:28:46Oh, I think he loves it.
00:28:48He likes food.
00:28:49He does.
00:28:55Now, don't be nervous, Naomi.
00:28:59It's just the entire fate of the game.
00:29:03Oh.
00:29:04This isn't over.
00:29:06Better luck next time, sweetheart.
00:29:07Excuse me.
00:29:08Go.
00:29:09It's your turn.
00:29:10We'll get him next time.
00:29:11Sorry about that.
00:29:13How's the house coming?
00:29:15It's just a hole.
00:29:16At the moment.
00:29:17Rick's as slow as molasses.
00:29:19It took him a year to do my uncle Ned's place.
00:29:21He's careful, and Ned has a great house.
00:29:24Oh, and Sam likes careful.
00:29:26Boy, does he ever.
00:29:27Yeah, well, you don't push him, it'll be your retirement home.
00:29:29Yeah.
00:29:30Push who? Sam or Rick?
00:29:31Rick.
00:29:33Rick.
00:29:38Come to think of it, Sam, too.
00:29:39You better push them both, Liddy.
00:29:41What's the hurry?
00:29:42Funny you should ask.
00:29:43Hey, CJ, you got anything to read while we're waiting?
00:29:54Oh, you weren't sleeping through that, were you?
00:29:56Sorry, I missed it.
00:29:57Were you sleeping, were you?
00:29:58Were you?
00:30:02Mom.
00:30:03What?
00:30:04What are these?
00:30:05What?
00:30:07These.
00:30:08Where'd you find them?
00:30:10In the drawer in the kitchen.
00:30:19That's Sam.
00:30:21That's Sam?
00:30:24He's so serious.
00:30:26He's kind of chubby.
00:30:33Who's this?
00:30:40Dad.
00:30:45Can I keep it?
00:30:49Sure.
00:30:52Here, put these back.
00:30:55Okay.
00:31:13So, this is 154 degrees in here.
00:31:17What?
00:31:18Yeah, but don't worry, you can stick your finger in here and it kind of feels good.
00:31:22Okay.
00:31:23You won't get hurt.
00:31:25Okay, the key to making candles is you can't hurry, you have to have patience.
00:31:30When I use that word with my son, he rolls his eyes at me.
00:31:33But I guess that's payback for all the times I did that to my mom.
00:31:38Okay, so each of us needs to take a wick.
00:31:41Thank you.
00:31:44You want to hold it in the middle and just keep it apart so that it doesn't get stuck together.
00:31:50Dipping candles are made a pair at a time.
00:31:53And dip the wick into the heated wax.
00:31:55How long do you leave it in?
00:31:58Just trust your gut.
00:32:00It's kind of like cooking without a recipe.
00:32:02A recipe, what's that?
00:32:05So you want to put it in for like, I don't know, three seconds and then keep it out for about three seconds.
00:32:11And then we're going to cool them off for about three minutes.
00:32:14I know that they look kind of skinny.
00:32:16Skinny?
00:32:17What's that?
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:24So he said, go ahead, I buy it.
00:32:26And buy the horses.
00:32:29That's what he said.
00:32:30That's what he said.
00:32:32Lydia.
00:32:33Hi, Lydia.
00:32:34Hi.
00:32:35I was just passing by, I thought I'd...
00:32:37Oh, come on in, I'm so glad that you came.
00:32:39Oh, come on, Lydia, this is fun.
00:32:41I'm just not so crafty.
00:32:44So, when I sell my candles, I like to put a little message in each box.
00:32:49If you're going to be using them as gifts, you might want to do the same.
00:32:52Like what?
00:32:55I think candles help us explore the darkness, you know?
00:33:03People used to sit around campfires, keep the predators away.
00:33:07I think firelight makes us feel safe with good friends.
00:33:13You know?
00:33:15Do.
00:33:16I mean, can you imagine?
00:33:18There were like half a dozen of us, all women, gathered,
00:33:22learning how to make these candles.
00:33:26But it was kind of magical.
00:33:28Sitting there in that room, I really did feel a sense of safety.
00:33:34Sitting there in that room, I really did feel a sense of something.
00:33:38Fire hazard, probably.
00:33:41I'm serious.
00:33:42All right, what did you feel?
00:33:46You know, for as long as I've been in this town,
00:33:48I've never felt a sense of that so strongly as I did tonight.
00:33:52What?
00:33:54A sense of community.
00:33:57You know, I really do like her. Much more than I thought I would.
00:34:00Good.
00:34:03To tell you the truth, I was a little jealous of her.
00:34:06No kidding.
00:34:08You knew?
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:17I just can't seem to get him to take his pills.
00:34:19Oh, well, you just hold him like this, open his jaw, take the pill,
00:34:23You just hold him like this, open his jaw, take the pill,
00:34:26and put it back like that.
00:34:28Liddy?
00:34:29Friedenmare's having trouble falling. I'm going to take Trooper along.
00:34:32Are you up to it?
00:34:33We'll find out.
00:34:35Your call, but if he faints or heaves...
00:34:39Sorry, we have a young helper.
00:34:54Hello, Doc.
00:34:55Hey, John. This is my new helper, Mitt Trooper.
00:34:57Hey.
00:35:23Hey.
00:35:41The foal hasn't dropped into the birth canal.
00:35:44She could start to lose blood supply soon.
00:35:49All right, hand me my kit.
00:35:51Right here.
00:35:53Okay.
00:36:18Okay, Sophie, beautiful girl.
00:36:21This is known as the jugular groove.
00:36:25It's easy to find.
00:36:26You just trace from the jaw angle down the neck.
00:36:29I like to go in towards the north.
00:36:31If I press here...
00:36:33See that?
00:36:34It increases the blood pressure in the vein.
00:36:43That'll take effect in a few minutes.
00:36:45Be less dangerous for her.
00:36:47And for us.
00:36:51Okay.
00:37:04Okay.
00:37:11Foal's in a good position.
00:37:16Have both four legs extended forward.
00:37:18One in the other, with the chin resting on the knees.
00:37:20Now, if the neck was flexed either side,
00:37:23the foal could get his head caught on the way out,
00:37:25which would be trouble.
00:37:28This one looks fine so far.
00:37:30The only worry is how long it's taken.
00:37:39See the tiny little hooves there?
00:37:42Bottom's downward towards the mother's feet.
00:37:45Better move things along here.
00:37:46Apply a little traction.
00:37:48This is my kit.
00:37:49It's a set of OB chains.
00:37:50They're shiny, narrow, stainless steel.
00:37:52Do me a favor and go get them. Go.
00:38:01Sit down.
00:38:02I sense the loop just above the ankles.
00:38:04It's not going to hurt when we pull.
00:38:09When she pushes, we pull.
00:38:12Ready?
00:38:19Okay, stop.
00:38:21Okay.
00:38:23Wait for the contraction.
00:38:25This is the most difficult part.
00:38:28Pull.
00:38:30Good. Harder. A little harder.
00:38:36You all right?
00:38:48Yeah.
00:38:54Hey, thanks, John.
00:38:56He's up in nursing in an hour.
00:38:57You can give me a call.
00:38:58Yeah, I'll do that. I'll do that.
00:39:00Hey, that's some little helper you've got.
00:39:02It sure is.
00:39:08Good job.
00:39:11Thanks.
00:39:12Oh, thank you.
00:39:14See you, John.
00:39:15Take care, Doc.
00:39:16Trooper, right?
00:39:17Yeah.
00:39:18I'll see you.
00:39:25You did a good job.
00:39:28I was a little scared.
00:39:30Nothing wrong with being scared.
00:39:32You hung in there. Come on.
00:39:37Sam?
00:39:38Yeah?
00:39:40Did you know my dad?
00:39:43Your dad?
00:39:44Yeah.
00:39:46Oh, I didn't know him really well.
00:39:48He was only in town for a year.
00:39:51What was he like?
00:39:54Well, let's see.
00:40:00He was a cool guy.
00:40:03I could say that.
00:40:06My mom says he was a dreamer.
00:40:10You could say that.
00:40:11You could say that.
00:40:15He left us to go to Alaska.
00:40:19Dreamers have to follow their hearts.
00:40:22They sure do.
00:40:24Come on.
00:40:27Kid thinks he's some sort of romantic hero.
00:40:30I couldn't even believe what I was hearing.
00:40:33A dreamer?
00:40:35Come on.
00:40:36The guy was a lowlife who abandoned them.
00:40:39Maybe you're just a little jealous of him, Sam.
00:40:42Liddy, the guy spent half the year he was here working on his car,
00:40:46the other half dealing pot.
00:40:48How do you romanticize that?
00:40:51What if she's just protecting her son?
00:40:53By lying to him?
00:40:56If he were your son, what would you say?
00:41:05I don't know.
00:41:09You know what, I'll set it up so we won't have to take off again.
00:41:12All right, thank you.
00:41:13There you are.
00:41:14Thanks.
00:41:16So I'll set it up for you.
00:41:17Thanks, John.
00:41:18Oh, my sack.
00:41:19Shot of maple honey.
00:41:22Well, hello, Liddy.
00:41:24Hey, C.J., how you doing?
00:41:27I heard you were back in town.
00:41:28Yeah.
00:41:29You want to check my I.D. for old time's sake?
00:41:31Darlene, you never had an I.D.
00:41:33That's how come I used to throw you out of here.
00:41:35Nice to have you back.
00:41:36It's nice to be here, legally.
00:41:38Thank you.
00:41:39It was just a...
00:41:41Hey, we were wondering if you were going to show up.
00:41:43Yeah, I know.
00:41:44I had to drive to Boston.
00:41:45Pick up supplies for cattle business.
00:41:47Oh, candle mania sweeps the town.
00:41:49I know.
00:41:50Even Rosemary joined the group.
00:41:51Oh, no.
00:41:52Where will it end?
00:41:53Maybe it won't.
00:41:54Everything ends.
00:41:57Hey, C.J., can we get another glass?
00:41:59You know what?
00:42:00We have three-fourths of the band here.
00:42:01What band?
00:42:02Sam's band.
00:42:03No, it wasn't my band.
00:42:04It was Dee Dee's.
00:42:05I didn't know you had a band.
00:42:06I didn't.
00:42:08I wouldn't have even been in the band
00:42:09if Dee Dee hadn't have browbeaten the others into taking me.
00:42:12What did you play?
00:42:14Guitar.
00:42:15You call that playing?
00:42:16I don't.
00:42:17Come on, Sam.
00:42:18People liked you.
00:42:19Because you did.
00:42:20If Ben and Ross and I would have started the band on our own,
00:42:22it would have lasted five minutes.
00:42:24Hey, I was good.
00:42:25No, we were awful.
00:42:26Dee Dee, she was good.
00:42:28When did Ben move?
00:42:29Um, a couple of years ago.
00:42:30I think he moved to Dallas.
00:42:31Yeah.
00:42:33Do you still sing, Dee Dee?
00:42:34Yeah.
00:42:36Drives Cooper crazy.
00:42:37So how about a song?
00:42:38Yeah.
00:42:39Oh, we don't have Ben.
00:42:41Unless you want to do Ben's part.
00:42:43Are you kidding?
00:42:47Sam, you never sang for me.
00:42:49Profoundly good reason.
00:42:54People say I'm the life of the party
00:42:58cause I tell a joke or two.
00:43:02Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
00:43:08deep inside I'm blue.
00:43:12So take a good look at my face
00:43:17you see my smile looks out of place.
00:43:22If you look closer it's easy to trace
00:43:26the tracks of my tears.
00:43:32Hey, Ben, it's too late for drums.
00:43:37Go to bed.
00:43:41Guess what I did today?
00:43:42What's that?
00:43:44I delivered a horse.
00:43:46All by yourself?
00:43:47No, not by myself.
00:43:50But I helped.
00:43:52Yeah?
00:43:53It was so cool.
00:43:54I like that.
00:43:56Guess what else?
00:43:57Okay.
00:43:59Sam, you said my dad was a really cool guy.
00:44:04Oh.
00:44:06Yeah.
00:44:07Yeah, really cool.
00:44:09Just like you, Mr. Horse Doctor.
00:44:12Now go to sleep!
00:44:22I love you, Mom.
00:44:26I love you too, baby.
00:44:28I love you too.
00:44:34Here's your friend.
00:44:36Night.
00:44:38Good night, Angel.
00:44:39See you in the morning.
00:44:46Hey, let's go to sleep, okay?
00:44:58Good night.
00:45:21Guys, give me a hand with the wall.
00:45:22Let's get it up.
00:45:25Would you like some coffee, sir?
00:45:27One, two, three.
00:45:31Good.
00:45:32Slide it.
00:45:33Good air.
00:45:35Looks good, Rick.
00:45:37When do you think the framing will be finished?
00:45:40It's hard to say.
00:45:43Can you give us a guess?
00:45:45Well, it's good.
00:45:46Not really.
00:45:49Well, by fall?
00:45:51Early fall or late fall?
00:45:53Any fall.
00:45:55Depends.
00:45:56Really?
00:45:58Well, if we get it in the winter and the house isn't finished...
00:46:00Yeah, that could happen.
00:46:01Wouldn't that hurt the house?
00:46:03Not really.
00:46:04Why?
00:46:05I'd just prefer it if it didn't fall down in a heap.
00:46:09Picky picky.
00:46:26Hey, Doc.
00:46:28How's that coat doing?
00:46:29Oh, fitting fine.
00:46:30Went to class last week.
00:46:32I'm not used to seeing so much of you.
00:46:34Thank my assistant for that.
00:46:38What's his name?
00:46:39I don't have one yet.
00:46:41Got any ideas?
00:46:44So it's a girl.
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:47She's pretty.
00:46:48She's pretty.
00:46:49She's pretty.
00:46:51She's pretty.
00:46:52She's pretty.
00:46:53She's pretty.
00:46:54She's pretty.
00:46:55Solitaire.
00:46:56Huh.
00:46:58Pretty good.
00:46:59How come you picked that one?
00:47:02He doesn't have anyone to play with.
00:47:05Well, then.
00:47:07That's what we'll call him.
00:47:09Solitaire.
00:47:11Honey, we're here.
00:47:12Come on.
00:47:13Quick, quick, quick.
00:47:14It's all right, sweetie.
00:47:15No, it's not so long.
00:47:16He should have been there.
00:47:17Honey, it's okay.
00:47:18Come on.
00:47:20Come on.
00:47:21We'll fix him right up.
00:47:22Keep talking.
00:47:23Come on, Cody.
00:47:24Cody got hit by a car.
00:47:25Fine.
00:47:26Fine.
00:47:27Here, bring him on back.
00:47:28Sam!
00:47:33What does it look like?
00:47:34Crushed lumbar vertebrae.
00:47:37Spinal cord damage looks irreversible.
00:47:41Abdomen's full of fluid.
00:47:42Probably a ruptured spleen.
00:47:46Maybe he'll take Amber outside while you talk to Val.
00:47:48Okay.
00:47:55Sam would like to speak with you.
00:47:57Be careful.
00:48:01Hi.
00:48:02Hi.
00:48:04Yeah.
00:48:05You want to go over the x-rays?
00:48:07No, that's okay.
00:48:09Looks bad, Val.
00:48:11Is there anything we can do?
00:48:13Well, we could try to save him, but it'll be painful and I can't give you any guarantees.
00:48:19What would you do if he were yours, Sam?
00:48:23I think I'd let Cody go.
00:48:28Okay.
00:48:32Let me talk to Amber.
00:48:33Sure.
00:48:35I'll let her come and say goodbye.
00:48:42You're just going to let him die?
00:48:44I'm not going to let him die.
00:48:47You're just going to let him die?
00:48:49Well, I'd do anything if I could save him.
00:48:53But he's been hurt pretty badly and he's in a lot of pain.
00:48:57I don't think we should let him suffer like that.
00:49:06Troop, where are you going?
00:49:08Trooper!
00:49:17Trooper.
00:49:23Hi.
00:49:24Hey.
00:49:25Trooper home?
00:49:26Yeah, he's upstairs.
00:49:28Can I speak with him? I want to explain something.
00:49:30I already talked to him. He's pretty upset. Come on.
00:49:40It isn't just about the puppy, Sam.
00:49:44What is it?
00:49:46You know, I've been making trips back and forth to Boston.
00:49:51Mm-hmm.
00:49:52It's not to pick up supplies.
00:49:55I've been going to a hospital.
00:49:58What for?
00:50:01Cancer.
00:50:03Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
00:50:08I'm dying, Sam.
00:50:13It's widespread.
00:50:17It's in my lymph nodes, bone marrow, liver.
00:50:24You must have had treatment.
00:50:26Yeah.
00:50:27It's just a matter of time.
00:50:31How much time?
00:50:34I was hoping to make it to Troop's 12th birthday, but it's moving too fast.
00:50:40Does he know?
00:50:42More or less.
00:50:44He's hoping.
00:50:47I haven't told him the latest.
00:50:53Sorry.
00:50:54It's really why I came home.
00:50:57So you can die here?
00:50:59No, I want Trooper to live here.
00:51:02I need to find him a place, a family.
00:51:06I had this crazy idea.
00:51:08Yeah.
00:51:11I built this place up in my mind, you know?
00:51:14It seemed so magical to me.
00:51:17I thought all I had to do was come home.
00:51:21Clearly, I learned a thing, because when I was 18, I thought everything outside of this town was magical, and I just had to leave.
00:51:31What about his dad?
00:51:33Come on, you've never liked him.
00:51:38You were right.
00:51:40He got into drugs and dealing, and it only got worse as time went on.
00:51:47Well, after Troop was born, he took off for Alaska.
00:51:51Said he had to get work.
00:51:55He got busted and did two years.
00:52:00And when he got out, he went right back to it.
00:52:05Got himself killed.
00:52:08And I never found out how.
00:52:19I chose so badly, Sam.
00:52:24Not just for myself, but for Troop.
00:52:29Oh, Deedee.
00:52:32I'm so sorry.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:35I know you are.
00:52:37I need your help, Sam. I have no one else.
00:52:41Anything.
00:52:45I need you to help me find a place for Troop.
00:52:51Please.
00:52:54I just sat there with this stupid look on my face. I felt like such an idiot.
00:53:00But I didn't know what to say.
00:53:02What are you gonna do?
00:53:04I don't know.
00:53:05Look for somebody, I guess.
00:53:08But who?
00:53:11I thought of John Frieden.
00:53:13John Frieden?
00:53:14Yeah, he likes Trooper. He's got horses.
00:53:17He's over 60 years old.
00:53:1850-something, and Trooper would love being on a farm.
00:53:21What does he know about raising boys these days?
00:53:23They raised two kids.
00:53:25That was over ten years ago.
00:53:27I mean, his kids are married. They have families of their own.
00:53:29What do you think? He's forgotten how?
00:53:32No.
00:53:34But raising kids these days is a lot different than it was then.
00:53:41It was just a thought.
00:53:46Sam?
00:53:47Hmm?
00:53:48I was thinking last night.
00:53:50Yeah? So was I.
00:53:52About what?
00:53:54Going over the names of everyone I know.
00:53:57We could take him.
00:54:02No, we couldn't.
00:54:04Why not?
00:54:07It wouldn't work, Liddy.
00:54:09Where are we gonna put him?
00:54:11We're building a house.
00:54:12She doesn't think she's gonna make it that long.
00:54:14We have a spare room. We can fix it up.
00:54:18That's not a practical idea.
00:54:20Why not?
00:54:21Because we're not set up for it. We both work.
00:54:23Who's gonna look after him?
00:54:25You have to make plans for things like this. It takes time.
00:54:28Oh, come on, Sam. I don't think this decision is about being practical.
00:54:31We can't do this for one night, okay? It's a huge responsibility.
00:54:34We've thought about having kids for a long time.
00:54:36What about Val?
00:54:37I think Val's a good idea.
00:54:40Her husband's out of work. I don't think she can.
00:54:42Well, then there's the groupers. There's lots of people.
00:54:46Why don't we just see how she does? Maybe she's wrong.
00:54:50She could live for another year. She could live for two years.
00:54:53In the meantime, I've gotta go inoculate the Holden pigs, okay?
00:54:56We'll find somebody.
00:55:02Oh, hi, Trooper.
00:55:04Hey. Is Sam here?
00:55:07He'll be back soon.
00:55:11Lydia.
00:55:14I'm sorry I ran off like that.
00:55:17I wasn't very professional of me.
00:55:23Well, you know, I could use some professional help with this fellow.
00:55:26You wanna hold him? Hold him by the collar.
00:55:28Okay.
00:55:29Give him some comfort.
00:55:33Sonny's having his operation, huh?
00:55:35Yep.
00:55:37Is he gonna be okay?
00:55:39He'll be great.
00:55:41That's good. I was worried.
00:55:56You ever think about having more kids?
00:55:59Beyond the two little hellions we're raising now, you mean?
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:03Why do you ask?
00:56:05Just wondering.
00:56:07You been talking to Naomi?
00:56:09No. About what?
00:56:10Lydia been talking to Naomi?
00:56:11That I know of. Why?
00:56:17Naomi's pregnant.
00:56:20Congratulations.
00:56:22Thanks.
00:56:23I don't know how we're gonna do it.
00:56:25We're barely making it now on two teachers' salaries.
00:56:27Yeah, it's not easy.
00:56:31You and Lydia thinking about her?
00:56:33No. Not yet.
00:56:35You still remember how?
00:56:38It'll come back to me.
00:56:41Sam, come on. What'd you ask me for?
00:56:47For Didi.
00:56:53Didi.
00:57:09Sorry I'm late.
00:57:10Oh, you're never too late.
00:57:13We were just gonna start to read our messages that we put in our gift boxes, right?
00:57:17Rosemary, do you want to go first?
00:57:18Oh, sure. It's always me.
00:57:20Oh, this is for my brother-in-law, Jack, who is a real...
00:57:24Phil.
00:57:26I know he is.
00:57:28Jack, be nimble. Jack, be quick. Jack, jump over the candlestick.
00:57:32But don't burn your rear or you will see exactly the pain you are to me.
00:57:39Not exactly what I had in mind, but it works.
00:57:43You don't know Jack.
00:57:50Don't get excited. Remember last week when the cat, like, went through an alarm and went all over the place?
00:57:56It happens all the time. Constantly.
00:57:59Doc, it's your new house.
00:58:02Come on, Dennis. I'll give you a ride.
00:58:20I'm so sorry, Lydia.
00:58:23It's just the framing. It's not even a house yet.
00:58:28It's a dream.
00:58:33Maybe we can dream it again.
00:58:43I kept the generator going to run the pump. I was afraid it was gonna flood.
00:58:46There must have been an electrical short. I'm sorry.
00:58:49It's not your fault, Rick. It was an accident.
00:58:52When can we start rebuilding?
00:58:54We'll have to clean this mess up.
00:58:57Labor Day is coming soon. I say we wait until spring.
00:59:01Once the bad weather starts, we're just gonna have to stop. What do you think, Sam?
00:59:16Sam.
00:59:40Sam.
00:59:43Talk to me.
00:59:47I had Rick do the house because he was so... meticulous.
00:59:53Every nail, every joint, every angle.
00:59:59Just so.
01:00:04I had him prepare the house for a hurricane. Did I tell you that?
01:00:07When was the last time there was a hurricane around here?
01:00:09I don't know. A hundred years.
01:00:16He was gonna trust the Gables.
01:00:18Reinforce the garage door.
01:00:21Put a special adhesive on the shingles.
01:00:23You can't detect against everything.
01:00:26Not everything.
01:00:28But everything you can think of.
01:00:32But you can't think of everything either.
01:00:35It was a freak accident.
01:00:39My mother was so afraid of hurricanes.
01:00:42I don't blame her.
01:00:43She was afraid of pretty much everything.
01:00:48Every time my dad would leave on a sales trip, he'd make sure we had everything we needed.
01:00:53Check the tires. Check the house. The rain gutters. The shutters.
01:00:56That we have enough firewood. And on and on and on.
01:00:59And still, this woman, she was afraid.
01:01:02Of what?
01:01:03You name it.
01:01:06I used to hear her walking around the house late at night.
01:01:09Making sure all the windows were locked.
01:01:11And every time I'd leave the house,
01:01:14my mother would ask me if I had enough money.
01:01:17Where are you going?
01:01:19Are your socks warm enough?
01:01:21I used to think I could actually hear her worrying.
01:01:26It got to a point where I didn't even want to leave the house.
01:01:30It was easier just to stay at home.
01:01:33It was easier just to stay at home.
01:01:42If it hadn't been for Deedee, I probably would have never left the yard.
01:01:46She sounds like she was a good friend to have.
01:01:52She was more than that.
01:01:57She was my friend.
01:01:59My sister.
01:02:17Do you...
01:02:20Do you think I'd be a good father?
01:02:24Sam, yes.
01:02:30Yes, I do.
01:02:33Then let's take him.
01:02:39Are you sure?
01:02:59Hi.
01:03:13Hi.
01:03:15Can we come in?
01:03:16Sure.
01:03:25What's up?
01:03:27Where's Troop?
01:03:29He's upstairs playing with Chewbacca.
01:03:51We want to take him.
01:03:56Are you sure?
01:03:57Yeah, when the time comes.
01:04:00We're still hoping it won't.
01:04:04I don't know what to say.
01:04:07You don't have to say anything.
01:04:09I couldn't have even hoped for this.
01:04:13Oh, Sam.
01:04:14I'm so proud of you.
01:04:16Oh, we're both crazy about him.
01:04:18That's great, but that's not why I'm proud of you.
01:04:21Okay, why are you proud of me?
01:04:23Because you married well.
01:04:27Yeah.
01:04:31I want to have a party.
01:04:33A big one.
01:04:34A party?
01:04:36Might be my last chance.
01:04:57Hey, Trooper.
01:04:58Can I come in?
01:05:00Sure.
01:05:06Did you have fun with Rosemary today?
01:05:08It was great.
01:05:10I want to snuggle.
01:05:15I'm going to bed.
01:05:17Good night.
01:05:19Good night.
01:05:21Good night.
01:05:23Good night.
01:05:27Good night.
01:05:43Remember how we always said we'd hope for the best when I got sick?
01:05:48Yeah.
01:05:51Well, sometimes the best doesn't happen.
01:05:54And then we have to make other plans.
01:05:57We have to make the best of things as they are.
01:06:05So it looks like the best isn't going to happen.
01:06:17And if I'm not going to be around...
01:06:19And if I'm not going to be around...
01:06:25If I'm not going to be around, we're going to have to find a place for you, Troop.
01:06:29I don't want to.
01:06:31I know, baby.
01:06:33But we've got to make the best of things, don't we?
01:06:36Maybe...
01:06:38Maybe my dad will come back.
01:06:40Oh, Troop.
01:06:42He could.
01:06:44It's been a very long time.
01:06:46A long time.
01:06:48But it's still good, Mom.
01:06:53But in the meantime, we have to find a place for you where you'll be safe and happy.
01:07:00Where people love you and will take care of you.
01:07:13You know Sam and Lydia?
01:07:14They love you very much.
01:07:17Do you know that?
01:07:21I know it.
01:07:23Do you know how I know it?
01:07:31Because they said that if anything happened to me...
01:07:37If I didn't get better...
01:07:39That they would love to have you live with them.
01:07:43How would you feel about that?
01:07:45I don't want to, Mom.
01:07:47I know, baby.
01:07:49But as long as we're talking about making the best of things, can you think of a place you'd rather be?
01:08:01Do you like them, Troop?
01:08:03I like them very much.
01:08:07In fact, I can't think of anyone I'd rather you be with.
01:08:12Can you?
01:08:21I can at least hope.
01:08:24Hope what?
01:08:26That you'll be okay.
01:08:27I can at least hope.
01:08:30Hope what?
01:08:33That you'll get better.
01:08:36Come here.
01:08:40Yeah, I can at least hope.
01:08:43I'm so gonna like them.
01:08:48Me too.
01:08:58Hey.
01:09:01Yeah.
01:09:02She's been a while.
01:09:10Hi!
01:09:16Come on.
01:09:20Excellent.
01:09:22I said, have you been taking care of him?
01:09:24I said, have you been taking care of him?
01:09:26Did you get something?
01:09:29Excellent.
01:09:30Who else needs a drink?
01:09:37Great.
01:09:40This is wonderful.
01:09:43This is my specialty.
01:09:46Macaroni with three different types of cheese.
01:09:50Thank you.
01:09:55I'll sit down.
01:09:56Yeah, go sit down.
01:09:59All right.
01:10:00Go on.
01:10:01Thanks.
01:10:04Thank you so much.
01:10:13Ladies and gentlemen,
01:10:16for one night only, we present the return of Didi
01:10:19and the Deadbeats.
01:10:22Didi, would you do us the great honor
01:10:24of leading us through our theme song?
01:10:26Oh, Sam.
01:10:28I'm sorry, I can't.
01:10:29Oh, come on!
01:10:31But I want to watch you guys go.
01:10:33Oh.
01:10:35Now, what's the name of the song?
01:10:37You Got a Friend.
01:10:38Oh, I know that.
01:10:40Get up here!
01:10:42I'm doing this for you.
01:10:43We love you.
01:10:45Go get them.
01:10:46Yay for me.
01:10:48And we do have a theme song.
01:10:50And we do have a special guest on the drums tonight,
01:10:52Mr. Trooper Michaud.

01:12:46Thank you.
01:12:48Thank you.
01:12:59True.
01:13:00Hi, Drew.
01:13:01You are so great.
01:13:04Look at…
01:13:05Hey, look at this.
01:13:08What's that?
01:13:10Welcome home present.
01:13:12Hey.
01:13:13That's great.
01:13:14That's huge.
01:13:15Open it!
01:13:16Just open it, DeeDee! Come on!
01:13:18Okay, okay!
01:13:23Come on, rip that sucker open!
01:13:29Alright.
01:13:35My bike!
01:13:38Hey!
01:13:43Where'd you find it?
01:13:45Well, I thought Jimmy Farrington had it,
01:13:47but he'd sold it to Marty and Neil Halfon,
01:13:50and Neil thought Marty had it,
01:13:51and Marty thought Neil had it.
01:13:53Both forgot that they gave it to their little sister,
01:13:55and it was in her basement collecting cobwebs.
01:13:57But it looks brand new.
01:13:58That's just the new seat and some fresh paint.
01:14:01True, this is the bike I rode when I was your age.
01:14:05It... it's cool.
01:14:08Well, sort of.
01:14:11Excuse me, it's the coolest bike ever.
01:14:14I'm taking it for a ride.
01:14:16Oh, let me help you.
01:14:17Move it!
01:14:18Okay, okay, I got it, I got it.
01:14:20Alright, now, don't go crazy all at once.
01:14:23Shut up, you guys!
01:14:24We'll find a place over here.
01:14:25I put it in first gear, so...
01:14:27Okay, yeah, Ross, I've ridden a bike before.
01:14:29Okay, well, this is just like that.
01:14:31Alright, thank you.
01:14:41Sam, maybe she shouldn't.
01:14:43Maybe she'd know where to find out.
01:15:43Hey.
01:16:01Hey, Rick.
01:16:02Hey.
01:16:04How's the clean-up coming?
01:16:05It's coming.
01:16:07I want to start the new construction.
01:16:11You mean now?
01:16:12Anyway, as soon as you're finished with the clean-up.
01:16:14If that makes sense, Sam. I mean, we'll be caught right in the middle of winter.
01:16:17Let's take a chance.
01:16:19We might have decent weather.
01:16:21What if we don't?
01:16:23Then we'll shut it down till spring.
01:16:25But then we'll be left with all this material just hanging around all winter.
01:16:28It's not going to hurt it, is it?
01:16:32Well, I suppose not.
01:16:34What's the hurry?
01:16:36We're going to fill that house up with kids.
01:16:39Thanks, Rick.
01:16:41Is Liddy pregnant?
01:16:42No. Not yet.
01:16:46It takes nine months, you know.
01:16:48Not always.
01:16:55Amber's going to take Chewbacca's brother.
01:16:57Oh, great, Amber. I'm glad.
01:16:59Are you going to take him today?
01:17:00Uh-huh.
01:17:01Trooper, go bring him in.
01:17:03He'll need a shot.
01:17:04Okay.
01:17:11Are you going to do it now?
01:17:13Yep. Right now.
01:17:16I'll come back.
01:17:17It'll take a minute.
01:17:19I hate shots.
01:17:20I'll come back tomorrow.
01:17:24Trooper, put him up here on the table.
01:17:29Where's Amber?
01:17:30She didn't want to watch.
01:17:32She's not used to this stuff.
01:17:34Just pinch a little, okay, puppy?
01:17:37There we go.
01:17:41Are you okay?
01:17:42He's fine.
01:17:44Here he is.
01:17:46What do you think?
01:17:49Come on, come on.
01:17:50You want to feed him?
01:17:51Sure.
01:17:52Grab ahold of that bucket there.
01:17:54Here we go.
01:17:56Here we go.
01:17:59There you go.
01:18:00I'm going to have to have somebody come out and ride him this spring so he don't get too frisky.
01:18:07I don't suppose you know anyone who'd be willing to do that.
01:18:11I'd ride him.
01:18:12If I knew how.
01:18:14You would?
01:18:15Yeah.
01:18:16If I knew how.
01:18:17Well, now.
01:18:18There you go.
01:18:20I never would have thought that he would have done that.
01:18:22Would you, Sam?
01:18:23Never even crossed my mind.
01:18:24He's awful busy, though.
01:18:26What with being an assistant veterinarian and all.
01:18:28Oh, yeah. He probably doesn't even have time.
01:18:30Not much.
01:18:31Well, I'd have time.
01:18:33It's just...
01:18:35I don't really know how.
01:18:37Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.
01:18:40Too bad.
01:18:44Well, of course, there's always Sophie.
01:18:47Yeah, lots of folks learn to ride on Sophie.
01:18:50Sophie's very gentle.
01:18:52Oh, very gentle.
01:18:53Sort of like sitting in an easy chair.
01:18:57Well...
01:18:59I'll keep looking.
01:19:03Hey, say, you know...
01:19:06I just got an idea.
01:19:08Now, if you wanted to come and learn on Sophie...
01:19:11Yeah, I would.
01:19:13Well, how about that? I think we got a deal.
01:19:16Son of a gun. I wish I'd thought of that before.
01:19:19Well, you come on back any time and we'll get started.
01:19:21Okay.
01:19:38You
01:20:08You
01:20:38You
01:21:09You
01:21:14You
01:21:19You
01:21:26You
01:21:34You ready?
01:21:35Alright. One, two.
01:21:37How you going? Are you okay?
01:21:38Good. Yeah.
01:21:40You okay?
01:21:41Uh-huh.
01:21:42Alright.
01:21:52Ready?
01:22:07You
01:22:10Where are we going?
01:22:12You'll see.
01:22:14I bet it's the Labor Day picnic.
01:22:16Maybe.
01:22:18Maybe not.
01:22:20What's the big surprise, Sam?
01:22:23It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you.
01:22:26Now, would it?
01:22:37You
01:22:47What do you think?
01:22:57Sam, I didn't think that we could...
01:22:59You took a chance.
01:23:01We've been working overtime.
01:23:03I talked the guys into coming in over the holidays.
01:23:05Thanks, Rick.
01:23:06Okay.
01:23:07Alright, you walk the plank.
01:23:10Rick.
01:23:13Thank you so much.
01:23:14The guys wanted to help. They're good guys.
01:23:16Here we have...
01:23:17I'm so excited.
01:23:18...the living room.
01:23:20Kitchen.
01:23:22Bedrooms.
01:23:24Family room.
01:23:30I wanted you to see it.
01:23:32Thank you, Sam.
01:23:34In case it burns down again.
01:23:47Will this be mine?
01:23:49It'll be all yours.
01:23:51Do you want to put a bunk bed in here?
01:23:54Nah.
01:23:56A single?
01:23:58Whatever you want.
01:24:00Whatever you want.
01:24:04I bet you'll be able to have a really nice view of some stars.
01:24:08Yeah.
01:24:11It's a pretty nice view.
01:24:21Hey.
01:24:26Where at?
01:24:27Over there.
01:24:29Why don't I see about fixing us some supper?
01:24:31That'd be great.
01:24:32Aren't we gonna go to the town picnic?
01:24:35I don't feel up to it, Troop. I'm sorry.
01:24:37Maybe you and I can stop by later.
01:24:39That's a good idea.
01:24:41Go into the kitchen and help Lydia.
01:24:43There's some cold spaghetti in the fridge.
01:24:45Okay.
01:24:46Okay, go help her.
01:24:48Here.
01:24:58How much of this are you taking?
01:25:00It's never enough.
01:25:02You in a lot of pain?
01:25:04I can manage.
01:25:08Thank you for today, Sam.
01:25:11I owe you so much.
01:25:13Oh, I don't know about that. I'd say we're pretty even.
01:25:17And I don't just mean when we were kids.
01:25:20I mean now as well.
01:25:22You keep showing me how to live my life.
01:25:26You're doing just fine without me.
01:25:30It's different without you.
01:25:38You know, I...
01:25:40I never told you this.
01:25:43But that night before you left...
01:25:47We were sitting out on your porch.
01:25:49I know.
01:25:54What?
01:25:56You were going to give me your class ring.
01:26:05How did you know that?
01:26:08I just knew.
01:26:14I didn't want to hurt you.
01:26:18You mean so much to me.
01:26:22I love you, Sam.
01:26:26You and Lydia both.
01:26:32Now listen.
01:26:35On that bookshelf, up underneath the basket, there's a letter.
01:26:41Would you get it for me?
01:26:48Come here.
01:26:54I want you to give this to Trooper when you think he's ready.
01:26:59I wrote him a letter about his dad.
01:27:03I always thought he should have a dad he could believe in.
01:27:10He has one now.
01:27:17What?
01:27:26Oh my gosh.
01:27:28What's that?
01:27:33Dee Dee, Sam, you've got to come check this out.
01:27:42There she is!
01:27:47We figured you couldn't make the picnic, Dee Dee, so we decided to bring the picnic to you.
01:28:17Winter, spring, summer, or fall
01:28:21All you gotta do is call
01:28:25And I'll be there
01:28:30You've got a friend
01:28:36Winter, spring, summer, or fall
01:28:41All you gotta do is call
01:28:45And I'll be there
01:28:50You've got a friend
01:29:16And so we turn to the scripture passages just read
01:29:21And we look to the memory of Dee Dee Michaud's life for consolation in our sorrow
01:29:26And for inspiration in our lives
01:29:29And now Dee Dee's son, Trooper, has requested a moment.
01:29:46When...
01:29:50When my mom said we were going to move here
01:29:55I didn't really want to
01:29:59Because...
01:30:02Because I didn't really know anybody then.
01:30:08I didn't really want to.
01:30:10Because I didn't really know anybody then.
01:30:17She said...
01:30:20She said that this town was special.
01:30:24And she told me lots of stories about it.
01:30:28But she said every place we lived was special.
01:30:32So I didn't really believe her.
01:30:37But I liked the stories anyways.
01:30:41And now...
01:30:52And now I see what she meant.
