00:00Previously on When Calls the Heart.
00:04Daddy boy!
00:05So, Toddy...
00:06He's an estate dealer. Trades in illegal coins.
00:10The importance of being earnest.
00:12You could be in charge of props.
00:15Some two-bit rancher got his hands on a crate of things.
00:18If we can find a way around the stream...
00:20Riders, there's a wildlife corridor the cattle can take to an even bigger summer pasture.
00:25Drop the proposal. Pretend like you never heard about this other pasture.
00:28One adventure ends and another begins.
00:30You did it? You sent the curriculum?
00:33So? Are you ready?
00:35I think so.
00:36I just hope I don't bore your listeners.
00:39We interviewed Jed Campbell on the history of alfalfa.
00:42Our listeners will be thrilled to hear from Hope Valley's finest educator.
00:46My educator.
00:47Laying out her vision for a new curriculum.
00:51Now, I should tell you we have had a last-minute change-up in your daily dialogue partner.
00:55How?
00:56Not to worry. Her name is Eileen Bennett.
00:58She's a superintendent from the Department of Education.
01:00An administrator?
01:01She was lovely on the telephone.
01:04And, to be honest, we were lucky she was able to fill in.
01:08I feel like I'm flying blind here.
01:10Surprise is the spice of life, I always say.
01:14There's nothing wrong with a little drama.
01:19It's open like a true theater director.
01:22How are you feeling about the play?
01:25It's coming along. Busy, busy.
01:27You still haven't asked her yet.
01:29I am waiting for the right moment.
01:33Rosemary, you said you wanted to lighten your load.
01:36Focus on directing.
01:38There is no time like the present.
01:43Excuse me! Ava!
01:47Hi, Miss Coulter.
01:48Hello.
01:49How goes the production? I am so excited to see it.
01:52Well, uh, I am finding that I need a little help, so...
01:57Oh?
01:58Ava...
02:01Would you like to play Goo...
02:06Goo...
02:09Would you like to play Goo-goo-goo-goo?
02:15Yes.
02:16Would you like to come on board as our assistant stage manager?
02:22Yep.
02:23You would help Elizabeth with organizing the schedule
02:28and figuring out the tech and wrangling the talent.
02:33Sure. I love to wrangle.
02:37Wonderful! We will see you at rehearsals.
02:44I'm getting there.
02:47This curriculum frees students to follow their interests
02:51and pursue real-life applications of what they've discovered.
02:55Because when students' curiosity leads the way,
02:58there's nowhere we can't go.
03:00Oh! And to think, this is all happening right here in Hope Valley.
03:05Now, Superintendent Bennett, I would love to hear your perspective
03:09on Mrs. Thornton's very exciting new curriculum.
03:13First, it's such a pleasure to hear from one of our inspired young educators.
03:19Can I ask, Mrs. Thornton?
03:21Elizabeth.
03:22Elizabeth.
03:23What kind of results are you seeing overall with this curriculum?
03:27In terms of?
03:29Measurable improvements in academic performance.
03:32Oh, well, I only just started this year,
03:34so I don't have test scores to compare yet,
03:37but our students are already finding success
03:41applying their lessons in the world.
03:43In fact, one of them, Allie Grant,
03:45is addressing the Cattlemen's Association today
03:48with a solution to an issue over grazing rights.
03:51Well, that sounds marvelous!
03:54But that's just one pupil.
03:56And a very talented one, no doubt, with a very special teacher.
04:01Thank you, but...
04:02And while I appreciate your ambition,
04:05without measurable standardized results,
04:08it's simply not practical to expect every teacher
04:11to find today's math lesson in the path of a butterfly.
04:16I mean, it's a worthy experiment for a one-room schoolhouse,
04:20but it's a bit naive to imagine that something so fuzzy
04:26might serve the mission of public education.
04:30Wouldn't you say that the mission
04:33is to unlock the best in all of our students?
04:36Our mission, Mrs. Thornton,
04:39is to prepare students to succeed in the world.
04:43And that means learning to compete.
04:46Rome was hardly built by following one's curiosity,
04:51now was it?
04:56Well, what a thrilling dialogue
05:00between two very compelling points of view.
05:04Now, superintendent, let's talk about...
05:08Let's talk about...
05:11Let's talk about...
05:37Sorry, we're a little swamped. Are you checking in?
05:40How long will you be staying with us, Mr...?
05:42I'm not sure yet. Let's start with two nights.
05:44Okay.
05:45And can I get a map of the area?
05:47Of course.
05:49There you are.
05:50Now, that has all the highlights of Hope Valley,
05:53including the hot springs.
05:55I'm looking for something bigger.
05:57Might do some exploring.
05:59Ah.
06:00Yost Mercantile should have a larger map of the territory.
06:03It's just across the street.
06:05No luggage to check in?
06:07You see any?
06:10Fuzzy? Naive? Do I seem fuzzy to you?
06:14Well, not in the way she meant.
06:16She called us a one-room schoolhouse,
06:18like we're out in the hinterland.
06:20Technically...
06:21And I don't need to be schooled on the mission of education.
06:23Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
06:25Who cares what she thinks?
06:27Everyone who was listening.
06:29No, and that crack about Rome wasn't built by curiosity?
06:33It absolutely was.
06:34Well, maybe next time you answer her a little less like Mrs. Thornton
06:39and a little more like Diane DeMarco.
06:42Diane doesn't get into arguments with school superintendents.
06:44No. No one would dare.
06:47Do you wish I was more like Diane?
06:50No.
06:53No, I just...
06:55I just like knowing that she's in there.
06:58All right, how about this?
06:59How about tonight I make you and little Jack a cheer-up dinner?
07:03Is that a thing?
07:04It is now.
07:06And I forbid you from allowing Mrs. Crabapple to stand in your way.
07:10Forbid?
07:13That is a very strong word.
07:16Beg.
07:18Plead.
07:20Highly recommend.
07:22Diane will take it under advisement.
07:30What about an episode celebrating the suffragists?
07:33She seemed so nice on the phone.
07:35Or we could do an episode celebrating the anti-suffragists.
07:38She turned out to be like the wolf that swallowed Grandma.
07:42Or how about an episode about doing away with women voting altogether?
07:46Fiona, why on earth would we do that?
07:51Good afternoon, ladies.
07:52Roland Rockwell, Benson Hills Broadcasting.
07:55Good to meet you.
07:56Oh, good to meet you.
07:59Yes, of course.
08:01Please, have a seat, Mr. Rockwell.
08:04As in?
08:05Believe you know my cousin, Randall?
08:07Yes, Randall.
08:09As I remember, he isn't a fan of radio.
08:13He's wrong.
08:14Radio is the best thing since the gas-powered engine, which is why I bought this station.
08:18So you are our...
08:21Boss? Overlord?
08:23Just kidding. Partner.
08:25Now, let's talk about this daily dialogue show.
08:28Isn't it wonderful? That was Fiona's idea.
08:30We wanted to showcase radio's potential to inform and inspire people to...
08:35There's no other way to say this. It was boring.
08:38Boring? Says who? I've never been accused of being boring in my entire life.
08:43From the letters we've been receiving, and as you know, letters are everything,
08:47you're losing out to Farmer Dave with the Moo Minute.
08:50What could the Moo Minute possibly have that we don't?
08:54I guess people like to hear animals.
08:56That's hardly high-quality content.
08:58Well, quality is subjective, and the public's attention is fickle.
09:01You've got to grab them and keep them listening.
09:04Well, then, we have a list of ideas somewhere.
09:10Yes, we do. It's, um, Fiona.
09:15Um, oh!
09:19The Hope Valley Players present Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest.
09:25A new version. Adapted for the radio.
09:30A play?
09:34For the radio?
09:38Maybe.
09:40Is it funny?
09:41It's Oscar Wilde.
09:44It's funnier than livestock.
09:46It's new. It's entertainment. I like it.
09:50Let's go live with it tomorrow.
09:52Tomorrow? Surely it's not that urgent.
09:55We already have an interview scheduled with a local judge.
09:58Great. There's another 60 minutes to the Moo Minute.
10:01Fine. We'll do it. Tomorrow.
10:05Sounds good. Partners.
10:12Toddy said that he's been getting the coins in small batches over the last five or six years from some rancher in Benson Hills.
10:18Did he happen to grace you with a name?
10:20No. But he said when the rancher died last year, he was cut off, and he sold the bulk of the coins.
10:26Let me guess. Amsterdam.
10:29Bingo.
10:30Okay. So we've got a rancher in Benson Hills that died last year. Doesn't leave us many options.
10:36Huh?
10:37Just one.
10:38Ernie Martell.
10:42We're gonna have to talk to his heir.
10:45You've read the proposal. You're all very well versed in the challenges of the current pasture land.
10:51We have Ali Grant and Oliver Garrett here today who have found a solution that we believe works for both parties.
10:57Let's cut to the chase before we hear from a couple of adolescents.
11:01I see no need to change what's working for all of us because of some theoretical wolves.
11:07I provide a top-notch pasture for all the ranchers of this association at a very generous rate.
11:14This isn't just about money. It's about the entire ecological system.
11:19Little girl, this is a conversation for grown-ups. Perhaps it's best if you run along back to school.
11:25Mr. McGinty, that is enough. Ms. Grant is my guest.
11:28The path in question has been washed out for years.
11:33The path in question has been washed out for years, and it's permanently blocked.
11:39McGinty.
11:44That was you. You were dragging trees to block it.
11:50This has been a very enlightening conversation, but I think we're just about done here.
11:54As a matter of fact, we were hoping we could take a vote.
11:57Be my guest, but I'll be abstaining.
12:01Am I alone?
12:05Counselor, perhaps we could rope this meeting in.
12:13Thank you for meeting with us, Governor.
12:15I believe I speak on behalf of all of us when I say that the Cattlemen's Association formally declines your proposal.
12:40What just happened?
12:42Politics, my young friend.
12:46Ms. Martel.
12:51I told you to drop the proposal.
12:53You knew McGinty would railroad the entire thing, didn't you? And that no one would listen.
12:58I represent the entire Cattlemen's Association.
13:01I saw the way you looked at each other. We never stood a chance.
13:05I'm sorry.
13:07I'm sorry.
13:09I'm sorry.
13:11I'm sorry.
13:13I saw the way you looked at each other. We never stood a chance.
13:16I was just doing my job.
13:20I think that any further communication on this matter should be directed through my office.
13:33Wait. We're on the radio now?
13:36So no audience.
13:39A bigger audience than you ever could have dreamed of.
13:44Hundreds, no thousands of people will be listening in the theater of their imagination.
13:52And it's tomorrow?
13:54Yes. Well, we don't want to lose any freshness. Spontaneity and all.
13:59And we don't need costumes anymore. Or sets for that matter.
14:02Sounds like our job just got a lot easier.
14:05Florence?
14:07Can I still wear my hat as Lady Bracknell?
14:10Yes. We may all wear a few costume pieces if you feel it helps with your character.
14:16There you go.
14:18Now, for those of you who still haven't memorized your lines...
14:25Everybody's looking at me.
14:27Have no worries. You may now read it off your script. It's a radio play.
14:34Should I tell her about my scratchy throat?
14:39Try saying a line.
14:41I have often observed...
14:45I have often observed in married households that champagne is rarely ever first-rate brand.
14:53Oh, you do sound a little hoarse.
14:55Hickam? Are you having a little attack of the nerves?
15:00No, no. I'm just over-rehearsed.
15:04We can always make some herbal tea.
15:06Or you could sit in the steam bath. That always works for me.
15:10We have one in our private house near the tennis courts.
15:14What about the Hope Valley Hot Springs?
15:17Oh, well, I could warm up the old vocal cords.
15:20All right. Well, whatever it takes.
15:23Now, artists, the show must go on.
15:30Must go on.
15:32Thank you, Gwendolyn.
15:34Therefore, therefore...
15:37Sound good.
15:39You saw his boots.
15:41Isn't it obvious? McGinty's blocking access to the other pasture.
15:46We should probably keep our voices down.
15:49Or what? I'm not going to be bullied by some rancher.
15:53Maybe there's another way around.
15:57They hear one of the ranchers is giving you a hard time?
16:00They all are.
16:03Really, just one?
16:05But they all followed him like sheep.
16:08Well, people are mostly herd animals.
16:10Who's your leader?
16:12A.J. McGinty.
16:14We think he's up to something.
16:16He probably is.
16:19He shouldn't get away with it.
16:22I'll tell you what.
16:24Bullies are rarely as smart as they think they are.
16:28He'll make a mistake.
16:30What's important is that you give him room to make that mistake.
16:36And be ready.
16:38Ready for what?
16:41You'll know when you see it.
16:49We've been over and over this map.
16:52No one knows it better than we do.
16:55And that was the golden solution.
16:59Let's keep looking.
17:14Did I hear you and Rosemary are doing a radio play now?
17:19She's taking the lead on that.
17:22I need to get back to San Francisco.
17:25Oh.
17:27So the salon sale went through.
17:32And I have a wedding to plan.
17:37So you're really going to marry the man who proposed so many times you called him that man again?
17:45It turns out his name's Harold.
17:52Oh.
17:55Fiona, I'm confused.
17:57I thought you didn't love him.
18:01He's kind.
18:04And he's a lawyer with friends in high places.
18:09So maybe I can finally be one of the people who really makes a difference.
18:17But all the work you're doing on the radio, isn't that making a difference?
18:21It's moving toward entertainment, which is great, but it's not what I want to be doing.
18:29This way, I can spend my time and energy doing work I care about.
18:39As long as you're sure this is what you want.
18:42I am.
18:46And I'd love if you were next to me on my big day, as my maid of honor.
18:52Oh, it would mean so much.
18:57What do you say?
18:59Fiona, yes, of course.
19:04Whatever you want, don't be disappointed in me.
19:11Never.
19:14About that stamp, it's not authentic.
19:18Constable Grant, I understand you wanted to see me?
19:21Yes, Miss Martell. Please come in, have a seat.
19:24This is Judge Avery.
19:26How do you do?
19:27Governor's sticking the law on me now?
19:30Or is this not about land rights?
19:33It's actually regarding an investigation.
19:35Your late uncle, Ernest Martell, he was a good man, by all accounts.
19:41He was?
19:42To your knowledge, did he ever have any association with the garrison gang?
19:46Ernie. If he had any criminal associations, he hid them very well.
19:52You ever talk about coming into some money?
19:54Any type of hidden reserves? Cash? Coins? Gold?
20:01Oh, you mean like pirate booty? Doubloons? Pieces of eight?
20:06All I know is that he was broke at the end.
20:10He made me promise to keep our name in a failing ranch and left me with a mountain of debt.
20:15So if there was any hidden loot, I can assure you I would be in a very different situation.
20:21If this is involving my family, can you tell me what's going on?
20:27We have reason to believe that your uncle was in possession of some unique double eagle pattern gold coins.
20:34Stolen by the garrison gang in the great Rocky Mountain train robbery of 1907.
20:40Well, I don't know what to say. I'm shocked.
20:43Well, if you have any information about their whereabouts, we would greatly appreciate your cooperation.
20:49If I do find anything, you two will be the first to know.
21:05Oh, Ernie, what have you gotten us into now?
21:13Hi, Sonny. Yeah, it's Woody.
21:19We're all set. I got a room at the saloon.
21:25Yeah, just one. Not made of money. Yet.
21:30It's not a problem. You can sneak in through the balcony. Just let me tell you how.
21:39Why is everybody so quiet?
21:42Allie and I had some disappointments today, but we'll be all right.
21:47What happened?
21:49Politics.
21:50Bureaucracy.
21:53You both got to stand up and make your case in front of somebody in power.
21:56Sometimes it takes more than one try.
21:59I just wish I understood why.
22:02Do those ranchers not care about anything other than themselves?
22:06Sometimes it's hard for people to see things from another perspective.
22:10But your dad's right. You've just got to keep trying.
22:15I lost my favorite marble.
22:19Oh, we'll help you look for it.
22:22And we'll keep trying.
22:23We'll help you look for it.
22:25And we'll keep trying with the ranchers.
22:28Can I please have more stew?
22:31Oh, you've got a hearty appetite.
22:34It's tough. We're losing a marble.
22:36I got it.
22:37Thanks.
22:40I don't know what that lady said to you on the radio, but I've never loved school more.
22:48I feel like the whole world's opened up.
22:51Even if not everyone's ready to see things from my perspective.
22:58Thank you, Allie.
23:11I got your message.
23:13We might have a problem with our play, Rosemary.
23:20Hickam? What is wrong?
23:23Try saying something, Mike.
23:27Laryngitis.
23:29Sorry.
23:31Well, let this be a lesson to you of what I don't know.
23:35But it is a good thing you are replaceable.
23:38I'm afraid it's not just Mike.
23:41Bill!
23:43Sorry. Sorry.
23:46How did you...
23:47They thought going to the hot springs would be good for their voices.
23:50Which it might have been, had it not also been the perfect place for everyone to catch Mike's cold.
23:56Everyone? Who else did you bring?
23:58Oh, no.
24:01Lee?
24:03I'm sorry, sweetheart. I didn't know it was contagious.
24:06So now I don't have a Jack.
24:10I don't have Lane, the butler.
24:13And you were supposed to be my perfect alternon.
24:18Alright, we'll just have...
24:21We will just have...
24:23Yes?
24:25I don't know, Molly! I need a cup of tea!
24:32You can always recast.
24:34Oh, Rosemary.
24:42Here you go. Fresh baked. Thank you, Minnie.
24:44Oscar Wilde said this play was cursed.
24:48I'm beginning to believe him.
24:50I never should have sent them to the hot springs. It's all my fault.
24:54I'm sure you didn't mean to sabotage the entire production.
24:58You did say the show must go on.
25:02Maybe not every show.
25:04Have a muffin!
25:05How can you sit there calmly eating muffins when we're in this horrible trouble? I can't make out.
25:13It seems to me to be perfectly heartless.
25:20When I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner, butter would probably get on my cuffs.
25:26I say it's perfectly heartless you're eating muffins at all.
25:31I say it's perfectly heartless you're eating muffins at all.
25:36Under the circumstances.
25:40Minnie! Your accent! Well, it's almost as good as mine.
25:44Where did you train?
25:46Oh, I certainly didn't train.
25:48She's good at everything she tries.
25:51You're a great Algernon. Have you ever played him?
25:54Perhaps in another life.
25:56Why wait?
25:58Do we dare?
26:00We've been playing women on stage for centuries.
26:03Why not the other way around?
26:05Exactly.
26:07Of course we dare.
26:10This will be a production the likes of which no one has ever seen or heard.
26:15Minnie, would you be my Jack?
26:18Are you sure? It's such a big part.
26:21You're perfect.
26:23But we're still missing Hickam. Who can play the butler?
26:28Mike and I have been rehearsing together.
26:30You already know the part? Perfect!
26:33Then we just need someone to play Gwendolyn.
26:38That we do.
26:40Who are you thinking?
26:42Well...
26:47Eva?
26:49Yes?
26:51Would you like to play the role of Gwendolyn in our production?
26:57Well, you certainly have the chops.
26:58That means so much coming from you.
27:00I mean, you're such a wonderful writer and director and actor and producer
27:04and everybody loves you and you have this beautiful family.
27:07I'm sorry, I guess what I'm trying to say is
27:09I just hope my life turns out to be like yours one day.
27:12Eva, that's very sweet. Thank you.
27:16But I think you have your own exciting life unfolding.
27:20And you're so wise.
27:22Let's go put on a radio show.
27:25To the microphones!
27:26To the microphones!
27:36Benny!
27:40I know, it's getting late and I have to go.
27:44If only I could.
27:46Not be a stage fright, huh?
27:48I don't know how I agreed to this.
27:50Acting in a play with an accent on the radio?
27:52Well now, Governor, you just have to buck up and get on with it, ain't ya?
27:56Well, you fancy a cuppa?
27:59You think I don't know my accent's terrible?
28:02I know my accent's terrible.
28:04But I also know that you are going to be really great in this play.
28:08Because you're really good at everything, Minnie.
28:11No, no, I'm not.
28:13No, you're not good at gardening.
28:15But running this cafe, quoting scripture, being an incredible wife and mother.
28:18Now, hold on. How am I not good at gardening?
28:20How am I not good at gardening?
28:22Baby, you're a plant killer.
28:25But you're also very punctual.
28:28So let's not keep these folks waiting.
28:31Alright.
28:33Alright. Now if you get nervous, you just look at me.
28:37I'll be right there with you.
28:39And bing! Bob's your uncle.
28:43I need to get changed.
28:45Yes, you do.
28:46Shall we?
28:47We shall.
28:48Alright.
28:49Let's go.
28:54Gwendolyn, it is a terrible thing for a man to find out suddenly
28:59that all his life he has been speaking nothing but the truth.
29:03Can you forgive me?
29:05I can.
29:07For I feel that you are sure to change.
29:11And I am engaged to be married to Cecily, Aunt Augusta.
29:20I beg your pardon?
29:22Mr Moncrief and I are engaged to be married, Lady Bracknell.
29:25Cecily, at last.
29:30Gwendolyn, at last.
29:37My nephew.
29:39You seem to be displaying signs of triviality.
29:42On the contrary, Aunt Augusta.
29:45I've now realised for the first time in my life
29:49the vital importance of being earnest.
30:45Now, I know you're supposed to give these at the beginning of the performance
30:48but I didn't have a chance.
30:50They're beautiful, thank you.
30:54Just put these in water.
30:56I also didn't have a chance to give you these.
30:59What are they?
31:00Ned had them for you but you were busy so he asked me to drop them off.
31:04There's so many of them.
31:05Yeah.
31:06They're all for me?
31:07Yeah.
31:12This is from a history teacher writing from Manchester County.
31:16What is it?
31:18Superintendent Bennett and all her ilk are simply afraid of what might happen
31:22if we lived in a world of cooperation instead of competition.
31:27I could have told you that.
31:29Actually, I think I did.
31:33Oh, look at this.
31:41These are drawings a third grade class made on a stargazing trip.
31:45The teacher taught a whole unit on stars.
31:48Stories of the zodiac, the history of astronomy and math.
31:51Nathan, they're doing it.
31:54They don't need permission.
31:56Doesn't sound like you do either.
31:58I have to write them all back.
32:00Yeah, or you could answer them on the radio.
32:05Of course.
32:09You are brilliant.
32:11Oh, wow.
32:14That's sort of your domain.
32:18Yeah.
32:28You can go on home now, Edwin.
32:30It's late.
32:36You're far from your ranch.
32:38I couldn't bear to leave things the way that we did.
32:44I believe that was entirely your doing.
32:46You're right.
32:48If I could explain.
33:02Years ago, there was a mudslide.
33:05It blocked the route to the old pasture that ranchers had been using for generations.
33:10McGinty offered an easy out.
33:13McGinty's Meadow.
33:14Use his pasture for free.
33:17For the first year.
33:19But they didn't have a lawyer and they didn't read the fine print.
33:25Every year after, the price went up.
33:28And when they tried to renegotiate, they realized that they had signed a loan.
33:33And McGinty is free to seek repayment plus interest and penalties anytime he wants to.
33:40He all but told us that if we vote against him, he will call in the loan.
33:46Which would wipe out all of us faster than that mudslide.
33:51That is what I inherited from my uncle.
33:55A failing ranch held by a loan shark.
33:59I may represent McGinty, but I am also deeply in his debt.
34:05I haven't seen your little tell, so I guess I believe you.
34:11But why tell me now?
34:13Because you deserved the whole story.
34:17And an apology.
34:22I happen to know a thing or two about reputation.
34:25You were protecting your uncles.
34:28I was also protecting yours.
34:30And those children.
34:33McGinty doesn't play to lose.
34:35Neither do I.
34:47Elizabeth.
34:49What are you doing here so late?
34:51I thought you'd be home by now.
34:53No.
34:55Elizabeth.
34:57What are you doing here so late?
34:59I have a special delivery.
35:06Are these all from my discussion with the superintendent on your show?
35:12There's so many.
35:14Who knew the radio could be so powerful? Oh wait, you did.
35:24I was starting to doubt myself.
35:27Well, I never did.
35:29And whatever the people are saying, you can't deny you've made an impact.
35:37Fiona.
35:40I know you have a decision to make.
35:45No.
35:47I don't.
35:49I said yes.
35:51It's done.
35:52You can't go back now.
35:54Can't you?
35:58It would break his heart.
36:03I know how you're feeling.
36:06Calling off my engagement was one of the hardest things I've ever done.
36:12Because I knew on paper we made sense together.
36:17But my heart was telling me something wasn't right.
36:22And he deserved more.
36:30I wish I had all the time in the world to follow my dreams and my heart at the same time.
36:37Selling the salon buys me a year.
36:41And after that, I don't know what I'm going to do.
36:44Fiona, I don't know what's best for you.
36:47Only you know that.
36:48I do know that.
36:51But what I do know is, if you spread your wings, you're very likely to fly.
36:59And we'll all be here in Hope Valley watching you soar.
37:19So, what do you think?
37:22It's what you said you wanted.
37:24Lots of letters.
37:26None of them saying they were bored.
37:28People who are bored don't write letters.
37:31And yes, it appears your arguing show was a success.
37:34Daily dialogue.
37:36I've even received letters at the station.
37:38For both the school teacher and the play.
37:40People liked the play?
37:42They did.
37:44But I have to admit, I'm rather upset.
37:46How could you be upset?
37:48You won't stop doing a British accent.
37:50And it's become very annoying.
37:53Ladies, you're a hit.
37:58Your arguing show has real potential.
38:00Daily dialogue.
38:02It gets us respect and listeners.
38:04So, let's go bigger.
38:06I just acquired a license for a new station in Port Townsend that can reach as far as Seattle.
38:12And I want the two of you to go there and do what you're doing here.
38:16Be in charge of programming.
38:18I can't leave Hope Valley.
38:20My life is here.
38:22I'll go.
38:25Why not?
38:27My next big adventure.
38:41Here you go.
38:48I was going to wait to give this to you at your wedding.
38:53I hardly deserve a gift for calling off an engagement.
38:57Yeah, it's going to make the rest of us look bad.
39:00Oh, I gave her a pound cake.
39:02Oh, but she's my wife, so it's from both of us.
39:06Open it.
39:07Open it.
39:16It's for whatever fills your heart next.
39:29Galileo Galilei changed the way we understand the world and our place in it.
39:34Simply by seeing what no one had been able to see before.
39:43There can be a cost to opening our eyes and challenging our beliefs.
39:48And Galileo paid dearly for it.
39:53We must always protect the trailblazers and seekers.
39:57The wanderers and explorers.
40:05It's not an easy path, and we owe them a great debt.
40:09So to all the adventurous teachers who wrote to me to ask questions and share your ideas,
40:14thank you. You're leading us all forward.
40:19And now, thanks to a brilliant suggestion from someone very dear to me,
40:28we thought it might be fun to read some of your letters so that we can all share our ideas.
40:34Our first letter is from Mrs. Grafton of Stanford Falls.
40:39Hi, Mrs. Grafton.
40:41She wrote in to say that she has a third grader who hates math, but loves dinosaurs.
40:48So she decided to use a dinosaur puppet to teach long division.
40:54Oh, that's marvelous. I love that idea.
40:57And what if you look at the repeating patterns in reptilian scales?
41:01You could use that for multiplication.
41:02Clever.
41:04And maybe everyone in your classroom can design their own puppets and write stories about them.
41:10Dino stories.
41:13You just couldn't hold back.
41:15I couldn't.
41:17The possibilities are endless. See what your students come up with.
41:20There truly is no limit when we inspire one another.
