01:16Growing up with
01:18my brothers and sisters on Waltons Mountain
01:20was a joyful experience,
01:22but not always an easy one.
01:24Privacy was hard to
01:26come by and as a young man trying to write it was a one thing I needed which
01:30I almost never had. I will always remember that day when I left, a young
01:37boy anxious to find some time for himself and returned a man who had
01:42partaken of a miracle.
01:46How many are we going to do with this thing?
01:48Daddy, have you seen John Boy?
01:50He's up in his room.
01:52Jason, can you help me?
01:54He's inside of this car. We got to pull these wheels.
01:56No, you can't help me.
01:58John Boy!
02:04Mary Ellen?
02:06Come here, I want to show you something.
02:08I made it all myself.
02:10It's pretty, Elizabeth. What is it?
02:12A corn husk doll.
02:14Can't you tell?
02:16Sure, I was just joshing. Listen, is John Boy up in his room?
02:18I don't know. I haven't seen him all day.
02:20John Boy!
02:22John Boy!
02:24Mary Ellen!
02:26Now, one would think you were practicing for a hog calling contest.
02:30I'm sorry, Grandma, but if I don't get a pen made for that llama mine, she's going to run away.
02:34Yeah, well, if I don't get somebody to help me in that kitchen, I just might go with her.
02:38That's okay, Grandma, you don't have to do that. Elizabeth and I will help you.
02:42Thanks.
02:48John Boy, where have you been? I've been looking all over for you.
02:50I haven't been anywhere. I've just been sitting right here.
02:52Well, Daisy got loose again and wandered out onto the road.
02:54Somebody's got to build a pen for her.
02:56Did you talk to Grandpa or Jason?
02:58Grandpa's helping Jim Bob with those tomatoes he's growing,
03:00and Jason's working on that soapbox racer with Ben.
03:02Everybody's busy with something for the school festival except for you.
03:06Well, I'm trying to write a story.
03:08Oh, how can you put schoolwork above a baby lamb that you helped birth?
03:10Well, Mary Ellen, this isn't schoolwork.
03:12There's a little magazine down in Richmond that's trying to give new writers a chance.
03:16Well, a person can write any time.
03:19It shows how much you know.
03:21Well, how are you going to feel if that little lamb wanders out onto the road and gets killed?
03:29Well, I suppose I'd feel just terrible.
03:34Come on.
03:36Whew.
03:47Okay.
03:48Thanks, John boy.
03:57Who wants to read a story about a lamb?
03:59A lamb.
04:09Hey, John boy, could you help us with this?
04:11I'm sorry. I can't now, fellas. I got to work.
04:13You're not working. You're just walking.
04:15Writers work when they walk, Ben. I'm trying to put a story together.
04:17Oh, come on, John boy. This is important.
04:19We only got a week till the festival.
04:21Come on.
04:23Okay.
04:25Pretty good?
04:26Man, this looks like a lobster trap.
04:30Pass the potatoes. Pretty please.
04:33Ben, you haven't touched a thing on your plate.
04:35I'm not hungry, Mama. I don't feel good.
04:39Up to bed with you, young man.
04:41It's burning up.
04:43Well, it can't be the chickenpox. He's had those.
04:45It can't be the measles.
04:47And it can't be anything serious because we got to be in a race at school next week.
04:50Seems to be a concern for your brother to go a little further than that, Jason.
04:53You betcha. I heard down at Ike Godge's store there's considerable fever going around.
04:57And some people get pretty sick from it.
04:59I'm sorry. I guess I just wasn't thinking.
05:02John, his fever's really bad. I think you ought to get the doctor.
05:11Yeah, so my brother said to me, it's...
05:13Oh, Doc.
05:14What?
05:15How is he?
05:16Well, we don't know much.
05:18How is he?
05:19Well, we don't know much about this fever.
05:21Seems to act different than everyone.
05:23But from what I've seen, I'd say Ben has a very light case.
05:26He should be all right by tomorrow.
05:28You just keep him in bed and keep him warm.
05:30And keep him isolated.
05:32Thank you, Doc.
05:33Good night.
05:34Good night.
05:40Don't worry, Mama.
05:42Put him in my room. I'll get my things in the boys' room.
05:49Well, glad it's not too bad.
05:58Liv, I'm getting old.
06:00Today, like today, I feel old, too.
06:06If you had to do all over again, Liv, would you make any changes?
06:11Oh, I'd find me a handsome husband with a yacht and go sailing off to Europe.
06:18Well, now, would you settle for a rowboat ride in the Rockfish River?
06:23John, what if one of the children comes in?
06:25Well, he'd say, there's Daddy kissing Mama again.
06:28Is that what you intend to do?
06:31That's what I intend to do.
06:41Here comes Wiley Paws.
06:46You know what I think?
06:48I think we ought to paint that soapbox racer some real snazzy color.
06:51Like bright orange or yellow or something.
06:53What do you think, chum boy?
06:55I think that's fine, Jason.
06:57Well, which? Which what?
06:59Which color do you think we ought to paint the soapbox racer?
07:02How about bright red like my tomatoes?
07:04Bright red, huh?
07:06Grandpa says they win the first prize.
07:08It'd be like a good luck color.
07:10Yeah, maybe so. Bright red with big white letters.
07:12Whiz-bang, that'd get him, wouldn't it, John?
07:14I reckon it would. Look, I gotta get out of here. I'm going down to the barn for a little while.
07:21Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
07:25Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
07:28Hey, shh.
07:30I'm trying to get her to sleep.
07:32If that mockingbird don't sing,
07:35Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
07:38Hush, little baby, don't you cry.
07:42Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby.
07:45Mary Ellen, do you have to keep singing like that?
07:47John boy, you're gonna get her all upset, and she didn't eat her dinner.
07:49Well, neither did Ben. I don't hear you singing to him.
07:51Well, Ben didn't lose his mother.
07:53Can't you write someplace else, John boy? Daisy needs to be alone.
07:56Well, so do I, gosh darn it!
07:59Okay, I want to tell you what I feel like right now.
08:02I feel like a drone bee in a beehive with John boy do this and John boy do that,
08:05and everyone's swarming around me, and I don't have a minute to call my own.
08:08John boy?
08:10I'm just fed up with it, Mama.
08:12What happened, son?
08:14Nothing's happened and nothing exactly, but I gotta be alone for a while, okay?
08:16So tomorrow I'm gonna go up to the old Montgomery place.
08:18The old Montgomery place? Well, there's hardly any road up there.
08:21I don't walk up there. I've hiked up there before.
08:23Not alone you haven't. That's a long way from everybody up there.
08:27That's exactly why I want to go up there, just for overnight.
08:30Please, Daddy.
08:33Let him go, John.
08:36Well, that's a strange thing for you to say, Liv.
08:38You're always talking about how dangerous those backwoods are.
08:42Every time there's a storm, that bridge washes out up there.
08:45Oh, why not?
08:47You had your fair share of washed-out bridges in your day, John Walton.
08:50You have to admit that.
08:52And I've got the gray hair to prove it.
08:54I suppose you're right.
08:57Comes a time in every boy's life, man's, when he has to meet up with himself again.
09:03Get to know what he feels, what he thinks.
09:06And you have to be alone to do that.
09:17All right, you can go. You can leave in the morning.
09:25One night only. Come back the next day.
09:28I will, I promise.
09:29And don't forget to take your long underwear.
09:31I will, I will.
09:32Take a blanket.
09:33I will. Mama, I'm going to go up there and pack as much truck as Admiral Byrd heading for the North Pole.
09:42See you, Daddy.
09:43Take care now, son.
09:45Take care.
09:46I will.
09:47Bye, John boy.
09:48Okay, okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
09:49Try not to get a chill.
09:50Bye, John boy.
09:52Bye, Mary.
09:53Bye, John boy.
09:55You get back to bed. You're supposed to be sick.
09:57I'm already all better.
09:58Yeah.
09:59John boy.
10:00Yes, Mama.
10:02Enjoy yourself now.
10:03I sure will.
10:04Bye-bye.
10:05Bye-bye.
10:23Come on.
10:24You.
10:25Come on out of there.
10:27Oh.
10:28Move, you bone-headed bumpkin.
10:32Critter.
10:36Come on.
10:37Get out of there.
10:39Get out of there.
10:41Oh, you.
10:43Randy.
10:44You need a little help?
10:46John boy, this critter took a fancy to my cabbage and sage and I can't get him out.
10:51Well, we can't have that, can we?
10:57Say, Blue, what is all this I hear about you?
11:00Come on.
11:01You are one beautiful critter, but if there's any place in the world you don't belong, it's Granny Ketchum's sage patch.
11:06Now, how's she gonna heal anybody with you stomping all over her?
11:09Come on.
11:10Come on.
11:11I said come on, you hear me?
11:14Come on.
11:16Come on, now.
11:17Come on, that's right.
11:19That's not where you belong.
11:22Come on.
11:25Come on.
11:26Come on, now.
11:27You've had enough to eat.
11:29Just kidding.
11:30Not my hat, neither.
11:33Munch, munch, munch.
11:34You just stay here, okay?
11:36I've got a real fun way with you, John boy.
11:39Animals always know.
11:46Take some.
11:47Well, thank you.
11:48I never get a toothache.
11:49Really?
11:50Mm-hmm.
11:51I got everything you need in a way of doctoring right here.
11:55There's lemon balm, chamomile, periwinkle.
12:01I got a cure for everything there is, except mold age.
12:07But, that's as it should be.
12:10You take your turn in leaving just like in arriving.
12:14There ain't no medicine and no doctor anywhere
12:18can change the natural order of that.
12:22Granny, you been feeling poorly lately?
12:25Oh, nothing at all.
12:28Just a knowing you get when you get to be my age.
12:3284 years of hurrying through the spring and summer and fall
12:36just to get ready for the winter.
12:38Gonna come in any case.
12:41Foolish, ain't it?
12:44John boy.
12:49Do you hear that rose complaining
12:52when it withers on the vine?
12:54Mm-mm.
12:55It has to do that.
12:57Make room for the new blooms, don't you see?
13:00I guess so.
13:01Ah, have a good journey here.
13:03Well, thank you, Granny.
13:04I sure appreciate these.
13:06Have a nice day now.
13:07You too, John boy.
13:10You stay out of the cabbage patch, you hear?

15:20John-boy, that's you.
15:22John-boy, I'm so glad to see you.
15:26Who is that?
15:26It's me, Sarah.
15:28Sarah Jane Simmons?
15:34Great day in the morning, girl.
15:36What are you doing up here?
15:37I was scared.
15:38I didn't know who it was.
15:40But I thought you were working in Richmond.
15:44I mean, I mean, if you're not in Richmond, then why aren't you home?
15:47What are you doing up here?
15:49I don't want anybody to know where I am.
15:50Well, why not?
15:52Well, see, the Keneally's, they're my legal guardians now.
15:57My mama signed some papers.
15:59Did she put you up for adoption?
16:01Not really.
16:02The Keneally's were supposed to give me room and board and education in exchange for my work.
16:07But it turned out it was all work.
16:10I don't understand.
16:11What are you doing way back here?
16:14Well, a whole lot of things have happened to me since I last saw you.
16:26Well, I guess I better get a fire started before the rain comes.
16:31There's some wood outside.
16:32I'll get it.
16:57Oh, no, it's raining.
16:58Come on, Ben.
16:59Let's go.
17:00Hurry up.
17:01Come on.
17:02Come on.
17:03Ben, get in out of the rain.
17:04I don't want you to get sick.
17:05Hurry up.
17:06Help him if you want.
17:07OK, Mom.
17:08As soon as I get him in the barn.
17:09Hurry up, Ben.
17:10That's the way.
17:11Will the rain hurt him, Grandpa?
17:12Rain and plants are the best of friends.
17:13I just got to win that Junior Farmer's Prize.
17:14Say, we'd better head to the house.
17:15I told that know-it-all Jimmy Alexander I was going to win, and I'm going.
17:16I'm going.
17:17I'm going.
17:18I'm going.
17:19I'm going.
17:20I'm going.
17:21I'm going.
17:22I'm going.
17:23I told that know-it-all Jimmy Alexander I was going to win, and I'm going.
17:24Well, we've just got to keep trying to get him out of there.
17:25How long now?
17:26Jason, hurry up.
17:27Better come down, old boy.
17:28I hope John-boy made it up to the cabin in time.
17:29John-boy, you know how all my life I've been waiting for something to happen to me?
17:30Yeah, it sure did.
17:31Well, it did.
17:32A while after I was born, I had a dream that I was going to be a farmer.
17:33I was going to be a farmer.
17:34I was going to be a farmer.
17:35I was going to be a farmer.
17:36I was going to be a farmer.
