Babygirl - Full Movie
Transcript
00:00:01But it would hurt my feelings if you delivered my first grandson without me.
00:00:05I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:00:07And I'm counting on you.
00:00:09Keep good thoughts, the baby.
00:00:12We'll see you in a few weeks, Mother.
00:00:13All right, Peter Watson, you drive slowly and easily.
00:00:18And avoid the ruts in the bus.
00:00:21Annie and my grandson do not need to be jostled around like a sack of potatoes.
00:00:26Yes, ma'am.
00:00:30I got it for you, Joe.
00:00:31Yes, sir!
00:00:32Skip up!
00:01:00It just feels awful sometimes.
00:01:15What exactly are you feeling?
00:01:17I don't mean to complain, Doctor, but I'm just plum wore out.
00:01:21Sometimes I can barely keep my head up.
00:01:23And when did you start feeling this way?
00:01:25When I had my youngest.
00:01:26About five months ago.
00:01:32Your mouth, please.
00:01:39Cums are very pale, Mabel.
00:01:41You haven't noticed when you look in the mirror?
00:01:43I'm not sure I know what they're supposed to look like.
00:01:45Well, I think you have anemia, which means you don't have enough iron in your body.
00:01:48It's common with new mothers.
00:01:50When the baby was inside of you, he took most of your iron.
00:01:53So it's nothing serious, then?
00:01:55Oh, it's very serious.
00:01:56What took you so long to come to me?
00:01:58Well, you see, my husband doesn't think I'm really sick.
00:02:01He says I'm just lazy.
00:02:03You take care of six children and a husband while you work harder than he does.
00:02:07Lloyd's a good man, Doc Owens.
00:02:08Really, he is.
00:02:09He just don't trust doctors.
00:02:11Not since his sister died.
00:02:13Is there a tonic I can take for this anemia?
00:02:16There is a tonic, but eating vegetables would be much more effective.
00:02:19Lloyd doesn't really like all those vegetables.
00:02:22He prefers his meat and potatoes.
00:02:33I eat two spoonfuls twice a day.
00:02:35You can come and see me in a week.
00:02:38It's very important that my coming to see you is kept private.
00:02:41What goes on between a doctor and a patient is always very private.
00:02:57Hello, Lee.
00:02:58Hey there, Reverend.
00:02:59Leaving that bronc of yours saddled all day?
00:03:01Well, I'm just trying to wear him down for the ride home.
00:03:05You're here early, you're here late.
00:03:07Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going.
00:03:09Aren't you expecting company?
00:03:11My wife's best friend from medical school.
00:03:13Well, she should get here any day now.
00:03:14I was referring to that apprentice of yours.
00:03:16He should be here on Thursday's stage.
00:03:18I'll leave you to your work, Lee.
00:03:21Have a good day, Reverend.
00:03:23Take your hand to the doctor.
00:03:27All finished?
00:03:29It'll be $2 for the doctor and 50 cents for the medicine.
00:03:44I'm sorry your husband doesn't allow me any extra money.
00:03:47I have to use the sock money I've saved up.
00:03:50Why don't we just call it a dollar even?
00:03:53That's very kind of you.
00:03:55Don't mention it, Mrs. McQueen.
00:03:59Can you tell her I'll be by with that medicine?
00:04:01I will absolutely.
00:04:02Very good to see you.
00:04:03Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:04:05Now you take care of yourself.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:07All right, pal.
00:04:08Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:10Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:11Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:12Let's have a nice, easy ride today.
00:04:18I don't want any more of that funny business.
00:04:20That's the perfect child.
00:04:22Here it comes.
00:04:24Here it comes.
00:04:25Easy.
00:04:26Hey!
00:04:31Settle down now.
00:04:32Settle.
00:04:33Settle.
00:04:34Hey!
00:04:35Easy now.
00:04:37I guess we're still in the learning process.
00:04:42Come on.
00:04:43Come on.
00:04:44Come on.
00:04:55Aunt Annie's here.
00:04:59Aunt Annie!
00:05:00Oh, Lillian, my love.
00:05:04She looks wonderful, doesn't she, Pop?
00:05:06Sure.
00:05:07She looks very round.
00:05:09I'm so glad you and Uncle Peter are here.
00:05:11Oh, let me get that.
00:05:13Oh, it's fine.
00:05:15Everyone treats me like a China doll.
00:05:16I'm not going to break.
00:05:19I'm so glad you came.
00:05:20Me too.
00:05:23I can't tell you how much I appreciate you looking after Annie while I'm away.
00:05:27I didn't want to take a surveying job this close to her having a baby, but we need the money.
00:05:33I'll be back in plenty of time.
00:05:34But you're mine at ease, Pete.
00:05:36We're happy to have her.
00:05:37My mother would have stayed with Annie.
00:05:38But I wanted to come visit my best friend and her family before the baby comes.
00:05:43And we're so glad you did.
00:05:45How are things done at the clinic?
00:05:47Broken bones and bee stings.
00:05:48Anything a nursing student can handle.
00:05:50Don't let her fool you in, Annie.
00:05:52The town loves Mom.
00:05:53They wouldn't know what to do without her.
00:05:54Those are very kind words, Lillian, but they're hardly true.
00:05:57Hmm.
00:05:58Well, how about I start cleaning and Lee, you'll help them get settled in for the night?
00:06:02Hi, son.
00:06:03It's good having Annie here.
00:06:04It is.
00:06:05She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:06I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:07Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are.
00:06:08I'm right here.
00:06:17Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:20I'm just tired.
00:06:21It is.
00:06:23She's your best friend, isn't she?
00:06:25I'd like to think of you as my very best friend.
00:06:27Why don't you tell your very best friend where you are?
00:06:30I'm right here.
00:06:31Well, you seem like you're a hundred miles away.
00:06:34I'm just tired.
00:06:36You sure that's all there is to it?
00:06:39What's wrong?
00:06:41I'm not pregnant.
00:06:42Don't worry yourself about it.
00:06:45We've tried for so long.
00:06:47We have more than we can handle with Lil.
00:06:48Oh, I know, but...
00:06:52It's just that when Annie found out the news,
00:06:55it made me want a baby of her own even more.
00:07:00And...
00:07:01Now that she's staying with us...
00:07:04No.
00:07:08We are going to have a beautiful baby of our own.
00:07:12And all good things come in God's time, and...
00:07:16Maybe we should just let him decide.
00:07:18What if he doesn't want us to have a baby?
00:07:29Hey.
00:07:31Come on.
00:07:33Let's go help Lil finish the dishes.
00:07:34Hmm?
00:07:47I guess I'd best be leaving now.
00:07:50Peter, please be careful.
00:07:52Yes.
00:07:53My level and compass are dangerous pieces of equipment.
00:07:55I love you.
00:07:57I love you, too.
00:08:02Bye, ladies.
00:08:04Take good care of my Annie.
00:08:05We'll be all right.
00:08:06Step up.
00:08:17Boy, are you all right?
00:08:19I don't know.
00:08:20Check on the team, Mike.
00:08:41Welcome home, darling.
00:08:43You must be Joshua Coyle.
00:08:58Yes, sir.
00:08:59Who are you Owens?
00:09:00Welcome, Saxton.
00:09:01How's your trip?
00:09:02Couldn't believe how far it was just to get here.
00:09:05Nothing but wide open spaces.
00:09:06Is this your first time away from home?
00:09:08Yes, sir.
00:09:09Well, Saxton's a nice little town.
00:09:11I hope you like it.
00:09:12I expect so.
00:09:14Can I help you with your things?
00:09:15Don't have much.
00:09:18All right.
00:09:19Come on.
00:09:19Let me show you the shop.
00:09:20Sounds good.
00:09:21So we do a little bit of everything here.
00:09:26Every work and rolling stock.
00:09:28Custom work for the building trade.
00:09:31Now, when your blows are even and you can work a straight piece of metal, those will be your tools.
00:09:37It's hard work.
00:09:38But you managed to make something that lasts a generation or two.
00:09:41You know, it gives you a sense of pride.
00:09:44I reckon that's true.
00:09:46What do you say?
00:09:48You ready to get started?
00:09:49Yes, sir.
00:09:49All right, then.
00:09:59How was your walk?
00:10:01Tearing around a 30-pound sack of flour.
00:10:04Slow day?
00:10:05Oh, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone comes in from getting caught on a rusty nail or falling off a ladder.
00:10:12You know, when I was traveling through Selena last month, there was a rash of copperhead snake bites.
00:10:16It felt like every day someone was dragged into the clinic.
00:10:20I haven't had anything as exciting as a snake bite in months.
00:10:23You should be grateful to have a healthy community to serve.
00:10:26It's our job as doctors to care about even the most minor illness or affliction.
00:10:31And our patients deserve and need our compassion.
00:10:35That's right out of a textbook.
00:10:39Linda, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to talk to me about?
00:10:42You can tell me anything.
00:10:43You know that.
00:10:43What is it?
00:10:48It's a quick, sharp pain and shortness of breath and minor faintness.
00:10:54Let's get you to an examination.
00:10:56It's not necessary.
00:10:57Is the baby moving?
00:10:59It isn't that.
00:11:01It's nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:03Let me finish some things up and we'll get you home.
00:11:12You know, my pa says walking's good for a man's constitution.
00:11:16You always walk?
00:11:17Well, legally, I've been riding.
00:11:19You walking to my camp?
00:11:21No.
00:11:22No.
00:11:23I got a horse to give to Lil' Ant.
00:11:25Well, he's still a little green.
00:11:27Pesty.
00:11:28I've been breaking him, getting ready for her to ride.
00:11:31Figured I'd give him and me the day off.
00:11:35I know nothing to saddle horses.
00:11:37Only harness problem.
00:11:39I stick with wagons.
00:11:40You'd better pour it.
00:11:43I really wish you would just sit down after what happened today.
00:11:46What happened today?
00:11:48Absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
00:11:50And that's coming from your doctor, Amy.
00:11:52When you go home, who will deliver your baby?
00:11:54My mother-in-law.
00:11:55She's a midwife.
00:11:56Well, I wish I was the one delivering your baby.
00:11:59It's a doctor's job, after all.
00:12:01I'm sure it's going to be fine.
00:12:05Ladies, if you don't mind, I brought home a guest for supper.
00:12:12That's fine.
00:12:15And you must be Joshua.
00:12:16Welcome to her home.
00:12:17Very nice to meet you, Mrs. Owens.
00:12:19That's Dr. Owens.
00:12:22You're a doctor?
00:12:23Yes.
00:12:24As is my best friend, Dr. Annie Watson.
00:12:26It's a pleasure to meet you, Joshua.
00:12:27Ma'am.
00:12:30It's funny.
00:12:30I just had no idea women were allowed to be doctors.
00:12:33Allowed?
00:12:34No, I just...
00:12:35And just who would we need permission from?
00:12:36Go easy on him, Lil.
00:12:38He just got here.
00:12:39I'm sure he's aware of what women can accomplish.
00:12:42Apparently not.
00:12:43That's our daughter, Lillian.
00:12:49We raised her to speak her mind.
00:12:51We'll get used to it.
00:12:54Oh, now.
00:12:56Let's go get washed up.
00:12:59Smells like my favorite.
00:13:01Well, she certainly is your daughter.
00:13:03Indeed.
00:13:03Miss Owens?
00:13:19Mr. Coyle?
00:13:21I just want you to know...
00:13:23I meant no disrespect earlier.
00:13:27I would express an opinion, but I'm not sure I'm allowed.
00:13:30Well, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.
00:13:33I think you're very old-fashioned.
00:13:36Women can pursue any career they want these days.
00:13:37They already have female lawyers, doctors, and ministers.
00:13:40A town in Kansas even had a woman mayor.
00:13:42I have no objections to your mother and aunt being doctors.
00:13:45I swear.
00:13:46It's just...
00:13:47Well...
00:13:48I've never met a lady doctor before.
00:13:51I'm apologizing.
00:13:53I guess I'm just not doing a very good job.
00:13:55Apology accepted.
00:13:56Well, I'll leave you to your schoolwork.
00:14:02Well, this isn't for school.
00:14:04So you read for fun?
00:14:06I'd read just about all day if Mom and Pa let me.
00:14:09Well, all right.
00:14:11I'll leave you to your book, Miss Owens.
00:14:16Good night, Mr. Coyle.
00:14:17Nice young man.
00:14:34I hadn't noticed.
00:14:38Good night, pumpkin.
00:14:40Good night, Pa.
00:14:41Come in.
00:14:59How are you?
00:15:01I feel fine.
00:15:02I feel fine.
00:15:11It's all right.
00:15:15I can't get it.
00:15:17Can I help?
00:15:18Can I help?
00:15:20Can we just let it sit down?
00:15:21Just sit down.
00:15:24I think Lou's suit doesn't work.
00:15:26It's okay.
00:15:28I need this.
00:15:29It's fine.
00:15:32It's in the east, but...
00:15:34This is...
00:15:35This is not how you're here.
00:15:37I don't know.
00:15:41It's nice to get this.
00:16:00This is not how you're here.
00:17:33And let him know I think it's best that Annie stay here for the remainder of her pregnancy.
00:17:37Bed rest is crucial.
00:17:38Well, I made it all.
00:17:39Why are his mother?
00:17:40You said she lives in Spartan.
00:17:43Do you really think this is necessary?
00:17:50Total rest for you, Mrs. Watson, in a dark room is conducive to rest.
00:17:54To being lazy, you mean.
00:17:55I cannot just lay around all day.
00:17:58I'm a doctor, remember?
00:17:59But I am your doctor and this is my home.
00:18:01And if it is enclampsia, you know bed rest is called for.
00:18:04Don't you think you're overreacting?
00:18:06Perhaps.
00:18:07But if not, I won't be sorry later.
00:18:10I love you.
00:18:11I love you, too.
00:18:21Prepare for my peach.
00:18:25Are you sure you don't want me to stay home with Aunt Annie?
00:18:27No, you just run along to school.
00:18:29I'll post a note on the clinic and if someone really needs me, they know where to find me.
00:18:33Morning, ladies.
00:18:35Morning.
00:18:36Bye, Ma.
00:18:37Have a good day, darling.
00:18:38Bye, Ma.
00:18:39Bye.
00:18:40That girl kicks up a cloud of dust everywhere she goes.
00:18:45Here you go.
00:18:49Is this your way of telling me not to come home for supper?
00:18:51The other one is for Joshua.
00:18:52A young man just starting off looked like he could use a few more good meals.
00:18:57Do you have any idea how much I love you?
00:18:58Well, it never hurts to hear.
00:19:02I love you, too, Lee Owens.
00:19:06Oh, and don't forget to send the telegrams.
00:19:09All right.
00:19:10Have a good day, sweet darling.
00:19:12Belinda feels Annie's health as well as the baby's is better served staying here until after the delivery.
00:19:29I have wired Peter the same message.
00:19:32Lee Owens.
00:19:32That's what he said.
00:19:43Dr. Alton.
00:19:45Mr. McQueen.
00:19:46Sorry, we're closed today, but if you'd like to make an appointment.
00:19:48Were you the one that gave Mabel this tonic?
00:19:50Yes, it's iron for her anemia.
00:19:52Why you got to go telling her she's got this and that condition?
00:19:55What she has is a spell of laziness.
00:19:57Mabel is sick, Mr. McQueen.
00:20:00Give her that medicine.
00:20:01I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:03A doctor killed my sister with tonic.
00:20:06I don't know the details of your sister's death, but there's no magic to it.
00:20:11Your wife had a baby a month ago, and she has a very serious medical condition.
00:20:14Maybe if you weren't so hard-headed, you would realize that.
00:20:18Now, my advice...
00:20:19I don't need your mouth nor your advice, and I don't need your magic potion.
00:20:22Doctors aren't worth a poot and holler.
00:20:24Are you all right, Belinda?
00:20:30Yes, I'm just frustrated.
00:20:32I'm a very stubborn and hard-headed man.
00:20:34Roy McQueen is truly set in his ways, but he's still a child of our maker.
00:20:39He has no compassion for his wife's condition.
00:20:42Can't we all get caught up in our own lives at times
00:20:44and lose sight of the compassion we should have for others?
00:20:48There I go preaching again.
00:20:50Oh, it's all right.
00:20:51I suppose I needed to hear it.
00:20:53I'll see you in church, Belinda.
00:20:55Good day.
00:21:08That's it.
00:21:08Steady blows.
00:21:10All right.
00:21:11Your daughter seems very smart, Mr. Owens.
00:21:18Must run in the family.
00:21:21I wish I could take credit for Lillian's intelligence, but she was adopted.
00:21:26Still, I couldn't be prouder.
00:21:28Really?
00:21:28Hmm.
00:21:29I never would have known.
00:21:31I mean, she and Mrs....
00:21:32I mean, Dr. Owens sort of look alike.
00:21:34Matter of fact.
00:21:37Yeah, I mean, it's just Lillian's very pretty.
00:21:41Yeah, I know she's pretty.
00:21:56I'm truthfully not that hungry.
00:21:58Doctor's orders.
00:21:59Even if you don't feel up to it, you need to finish the entire wall.
00:22:03I'm not a child, Belinda.
00:22:05And I'm a doctor.
00:22:06I think I know what's best for me.
00:22:07Knowing and doing are two entirely different things.
00:22:12Is that another contraction?
00:22:14No, the baby's just kicking.
00:22:16And I have to tell you, I'm a little relieved.
00:22:18I haven't felt him move since the contractions yesterday.
00:22:21You just said it was...
00:22:23He?
00:22:24How do you know it's a boy?
00:22:26I know it sounds silly, but...
00:22:28Mary thinks because I'm caring so low that it'll be a boy.
00:22:30It is silly.
00:22:31That's an old wives' tale.
00:22:33There's no medical merit to it.
00:22:35Say what you want, but when Peter's sister was pregnant...
00:22:37Mary was concerned because she was caring so far out in front.
00:22:40She said it would be a breached birth, and...
00:22:43She was right.
00:22:43One lucky guess, and she's got you believing made-up stories.
00:22:47Goodness, he's getting his exercise today.
00:22:50You want a feel?
00:22:51That's all right.
00:22:53Come on, Belinda.
00:22:54I'll be nervous.
00:22:58It's so strange.
00:23:00I never thought I'd be a mother.
00:23:03It suddenly feels like the most natural thing in the world.
00:23:09I'm sorry.
00:23:11I've opened that wound, haven't I?
00:23:14Maybe we shouldn't talk about it.
00:23:16You know, I know so many women that have gotten pregnant without even trying.
00:23:20And Leah and I have been trying.
00:23:22We've both seen it take some time.
00:23:24You just can't get impatient with yourself.
00:23:27I look after this one woman, Mabel McQueen.
00:23:30She's had six babies in the past eight years without even trying.
00:23:34It's important to you, isn't it?
00:23:35I think we're going to talk about it.
00:23:37I don't think we're going to talk about it.
00:23:39I don't think we're going to talk about it.
00:23:40I best get supper ready.
00:23:42Lee and Lillian will be home soon.
00:23:45I'm here to talk whenever you'd like to.
00:23:49Please eat your soup, Annie.
00:24:04I was wondering where you'd run off to.
00:24:10I just looked in on Annie.
00:24:13She's out for the night.
00:24:15She keeps insisting she feels fine.
00:24:20I think I've heard that before.
00:24:24You two are so much alike, it's frightening.
00:24:27I suppose that's why we're such good friends.
00:24:31I noticed you didn't have Joshua over for supper tonight.
00:24:35I'm pretty sure he's sweet on Lill.
00:24:37I don't want the two of them spending too much time together.
00:24:41Why not? He's only a couple years older.
00:24:43Doc, he's an apprentice blacksmith. I want better for Lillian.
00:24:47I'm the wife of a blacksmith, and you don't hear me complaining.
00:24:50I spent the last five years trying to figure out how I tricked you into marrying me.
00:24:54You could have done much better.
00:24:56You didn't trick me into anything.
00:24:58I married you because I fell in love with you, Leon.
00:25:00And if Lillian and Joshua had taken interest in one another, I don't think it's our place to stand in their way.
00:25:07Besides, telling Lillian she can't have somethings.
00:25:11Like daring to try to stop her.
00:25:13I get your point.
00:25:18I don't want to get in the way of her happiness.
00:25:20Still, you left a small town to follow your dream.
00:25:25And if Lill wants to go to college, I darn sure want to see it happen.
00:25:29I don't want her tied down to Saxon.
00:25:31I hope she knows what a wonderful and caring father she has.
00:25:39It's getting a little chilly.
00:25:42Want to turn in for the night?
00:25:43You go ahead. I'll be up in a little while.
00:26:01Don't be in such a hurry, pretty lady.
00:26:09Please allow me to pass.
00:26:11We need to get to know each other.
00:26:15I think not.
00:26:16I don't want to be late for school.
00:26:18I can teach you more than any school can.
00:26:20Excuse me.
00:26:23You mind letting the young lady pass?
00:26:24This ain't none of your affairs, sod buster.
00:26:26Ah, but it is.
00:26:28It ain't.
00:26:31Knock your head off, boy.
00:26:36Now, you hold on a second.
00:26:37Now, the good book tells me to turn the other cheek.
00:26:39Now, I only have two.
00:26:41So after the second, I'm on my own.
00:26:49That was the second cheek.
00:26:51You're breaking my wrist.
00:26:52Well, I understand there's a fine doctor in town.
00:26:54Please don't. Please don't break.
00:26:56I trust I'll never see you around Miss Owens again.
00:26:58No, never.
00:26:59Good.
00:27:00Now, get.
00:27:12Morning, Miss Owens.
00:27:14You on your way to school?
00:27:15Indeed I am.
00:27:18May I walk with you?
00:27:18I did the best I could, Jim, but you better go easy on it, all right?
00:27:30Your boss strikes me as a hard-working man.
00:27:45He lives and breathes work.
00:27:47Ma says sometimes he rolls over to sleep and tries to use your arms like a set of tongs.
00:27:51I guess that's the future I have to look forward to.
00:27:54Not such a bad life, really.
00:27:59So what about you?
00:28:01You're going to become a doctor like your mom?
00:28:02I don't know.
00:28:04I haven't decided.
00:28:06Maybe I want to be a lawyer or a famous writer like Harriet Beecher Stowe.
00:28:10One thing for sure, I want to go to college.
00:28:13Well, I better get to work.
00:28:14Have a nice day, Joshua.
00:28:18You too, Lily.
00:28:18I don't think you should be climbing the stairs, but I feel fine.
00:28:33What's making me crazy is sitting in a dark room all day.
00:28:37But it's only been three days since you had pain and felt faint.
00:28:40You know the symptoms and treatment as well as I do.
00:28:42That's assuming your diagnosis is correct.
00:28:44Is that singing?
00:28:50I would know that voice anywhere.
00:28:52That's Mary.
00:28:53Your mother-in-law?
00:28:54What reason does she have to be here?
00:28:56Mary doesn't need a reason to do anything.
00:29:10Well, this must be it!
00:29:14Thank you, my good man, and you have a blessed day.
00:29:21And you must be the infamous Doc Owen.
00:29:25Thank you, Mary Watson.
00:29:28Oh, she knew that already.
00:29:30Now, where is my peach pie?
00:29:34Would you be a dear and bring my thing along?
00:29:36Mary, what are you doing here?
00:29:44Where else would you expect me to be, oh, my little lamb?
00:29:48But didn't you get the telegraph from Belinda's husband?
00:29:50I did.
00:29:51That's why I'm here.
00:29:52I have nothing against you finishing out your term with your friend.
00:29:55But I certainly wasn't going to miss the birth of my first grandson.
00:30:00I've missed you.
00:30:02Oh, it's darker than the inside of a cow in here.
00:30:05Yes, it is.
00:30:06Oh, please don't do that.
00:30:07What?
00:30:08She's not a mushroom.
00:30:09She needs light.
00:30:11All right, Doc.
00:30:12Let's sit up so I can get a good look.
00:30:14I'm sorry, what are you doing?
00:30:15I'm getting her upright.
00:30:17If she stays in this bed too long, she'll get a crick in her back and it'll make delivery
00:30:22much more painful.
00:30:23I think it's better that she's on bed rest for the remainder of her term.
00:30:26It's not going to hurt her to sit up.
00:30:29When you've delivered as many babies as I have, you learn a few things.
00:30:33Well, I've been to medical school for years and rest is the proper treatment.
00:30:37You don't learn everything in medical school.
00:30:40That is a matter of opinion and I wholeheartedly disagree.
00:30:43Ladies, I'm not a sack of flour.
00:30:46There I was in the middle of the worst blizzard I ever saw.
00:30:58I wasn't too surprised when three babies were delivered that night.
00:31:03I expected twins, not triplets.
00:31:07In a blizzard?
00:31:08Oh, the little ones pop out whenever they want, regardless of the weather.
00:31:13Fortunately, I don't have many emergencies.
00:31:15Women giving birth are always an emergency.
00:31:20That's the penalty we pay for Eve eating the apple.
00:31:25It is not a penalty.
00:31:27Wow, Mrs. Watson, you sure got an exciting life.
00:31:29Well, I should probably get you up to your room, Annie.
00:31:32You let that little fella start running your life now, you'll be lacing his shoes when he's 30.
00:31:38Yes, Annie told me you believe it's a boy.
00:31:41Believe? Nothing!
00:31:42It's a fact!
00:31:44Honestly, Mary, you can't possibly...
00:31:45Actually, I am a little tired.
00:31:47I'm gonna go to bed.
00:31:48I can manage on my own.
00:31:52Good night, all.
00:31:54Good night, Annie.
00:31:55Rest well, dear.
00:31:56Good night, Annie.
00:31:57Good night, Annie.
00:32:02There is no way to tell whether...
00:32:04Well, I think it's time we all settle down.
00:32:06Huh?
00:32:07We have a full day tomorrow.
00:32:08Thank you for dinner, Dr. Holmes.
00:32:18Joshua, William told us that you came to her rescue.
00:32:22Our mother and I both appreciate it.
00:32:23It was my pleasure, sir.
00:32:25Thank you again.
00:32:29I'll walk you out.
00:32:38Aren't they the most adorable couple?
00:32:45So tell me, how was Captain Nemo this evening?
00:32:49When I left him, he was exploring the ruins of Atlantis, although I can't say for sure what he does when I'm not looking.
00:32:55I never met a girl who made a book sound so interesting.
00:32:58You can borrow it if you like.
00:32:59No, no, I'm not sure if I'm sold on Nemo just yet.
00:33:02Maybe you could read some of it to me, though, just so I can find out if it's my kind of story.
00:33:07I could do that.
00:33:09Would you like to go on a picnic with me?
00:33:11Maybe on Saturday?
00:33:12We can go out and find a nice quiet spot and read.
00:33:16I think I know just the place.
00:33:19Lee Owens, you are not spying on our only daughter.
00:33:21I'm not spying on her.
00:33:23I'm just looking out for her.
00:33:31Good night.
00:33:37Let's see what you got there.
00:33:54Well, you're really improving.
00:33:58Thank you, sir.
00:34:00Trying my best to impress you.
00:34:01As long as it's me you're trying to impress.
00:34:07Well, to be honest, I wanted to ask you, maybe, uh, Lily and I...
00:34:14You want permission to court Lily, right?
00:34:18Yes, sir.
00:34:20Well, I don't want to distract her from her goals.
00:34:23I promise I'll be respectful of her and not get in the way of her school.
00:34:25I know how much she wants to go to college.
00:34:28Well, I don't think about it, all right?
00:34:33I understand.
00:34:35Meantime, finish up with that horseshoe.
00:34:38Lily wants his order by noon.
00:34:40Yes, sir.
00:34:42You're going to be late opening your clinic.
00:34:45I don't feel comfortable leaving Annie here all alone,
00:34:47and I certainly don't feel comfortable with her being out of bed this much.
00:34:50You know, I wish the two of you wouldn't talk about me as if I wasn't sitting right here.
00:34:54Sorry, sweetheart.
00:34:57You must be so frustrated, pooped up inside all the time.
00:35:02I will be here with her all day.
00:35:06You tend to your patients, and we'll see you at supper.
00:35:12If you need anything, I'll be close by.
00:35:17Have a nice day.
00:35:18Praise the Lord, we're free.
00:35:26Peach Pie, you get dressed.
00:35:28We are going out to smell the roses.
00:35:34Tripping to town.
00:35:35Doc Owens, can I talk to you?
00:35:46Mrs. McQueen, come in.
00:35:50I only have a minute.
00:35:52I left Lloyd at the general store.
00:35:53Said I was running to the butcher.
00:35:55What can I do for you, Mabel?
00:35:56Doc, I feel terrible.
00:35:58This sickness, it's just getting worse.
00:36:00I'm dizzy all the time, and I can barely pick up the youngins.
00:36:02That's because your anemia is getting worse.
00:36:04Your body needs iron.
00:36:06You're only going to get sicker.
00:36:07What can I do to make it better?
00:36:09I already told you.
00:36:10Vegetables are the tonic.
00:36:11If you don't listen to my instructions, there is nothing more I can do.
00:36:14I tried to take the tonic.
00:36:16Really, I did.
00:36:17Even started to feel a little stronger.
00:36:19And then Lloyd found it, and you know the rest.
00:36:22I certainly do.
00:36:23He threw a bottle at me.
00:36:24I'm sorry for that.
00:36:25Really, I am.
00:36:26He was just upset.
00:36:27He didn't mean anything by it.
00:36:29He's a wonderful husband and a father.
00:36:31Maybe, but I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
00:36:39Good day, Mrs. McQueen.
00:36:40Your friend Melinda doesn't seem too happy.
00:37:04I'd say it's just that she doesn't like me, but everybody likes me.
00:37:10She isn't happy.
00:37:12She's been trying to have a baby.
00:37:14And Melinda just feels discouraged.
00:37:17Me showing up in my condition, apparently staying till the baby comes.
00:37:21I think it's just another painful reminder.
00:37:23Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:37:27If it's baby trouble she's got.
00:37:29I've surely got the cure.
00:37:32How about a sugary treat?
00:37:33I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:38It isn't here yet.
00:37:40It's been over a week.
00:37:41You said it'd be here by now.
00:37:43The freight line lost the shipping order.
00:37:45There's nothing I can do about it.
00:37:47There's something I could do if there was another general store within 10 miles of here.
00:37:51It'll be here within a week.
00:37:53I'm here, Lloyd.
00:37:54What took you so long?
00:37:58I'm sorry, Lloyd.
00:37:59There was a little bit of a line.
00:38:01There's always an excuse.
00:38:02Let's get out of here.
00:38:03I got fences to men before sundown.
00:38:16She's just feeling poorly at length.
00:38:18She's got a newborn and five youngins.
00:38:20Says it wears her out.
00:38:22You think a mother doesn't work.
00:38:24I've seen this a bunch during and after pregnancy.
00:38:30This is a severe case of anemia.
00:38:32She don't need coddling, lady.
00:38:33I know how to take care of my wife.
00:38:36No, you don't.
00:38:38You are selfish and rude and contemptuous and you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:38:45Doc Owens is trying to save your wife's life.
00:38:49She's dying.
00:38:50You get her over to the clinic and you beg Doc Owens for more of that tonic.
00:38:58Don't talk to me like that.
00:38:59I'll talk to you any way I want.
00:39:02Get her to the clinic.
00:39:03You better pray to the merciful and good Lord that she doesn't slam the door in your
00:39:15ungrateful face.
00:39:17Amen.
00:39:18Amen.
00:39:21Amen.
00:39:25Your home's dead now.
00:39:27I don't want to.
00:39:28I gave you a double dose, so do not take any more today.
00:39:34No, ma'am.
00:39:35Starting tomorrow morning, take two teaspoons every morning.
00:39:38And if you don't get your strength back in four days, get back in here.
00:39:41I'd like to apologize.
00:39:49Last time we spoke, I lost my temper.
00:39:52What'll owe you for the tonic?
00:39:53Only that you allow her to keep taking it.
00:39:56You don't need no charity.
00:39:57The first one was already paid for.
00:39:58This is just a replacement.
00:40:01Step up!
00:40:02Step up!
00:40:03Step up!
00:40:04Step up!
00:40:05Step up!
00:40:06Step up!
00:40:06Step up!
00:40:07Step up!
00:40:08Step up!
00:40:08Step up!
00:40:09Step up!
00:40:10Step up!
00:40:11Step up!
00:40:12Step up!
00:40:13Step up!
00:40:13Step up!
00:40:19Yes, dear.
00:40:20I'm sorry.
00:40:21You're sleeping?
00:40:22Well, not anymore.
00:40:25My apprentice wants to court Lilian.
00:40:29His name is Joshua.
00:40:32I told him I'd think about it.
00:40:35Well, then think.
00:40:38Don't think too long.
00:40:40Lillian's grown up.
00:40:41I'm having a hard time with it.
00:40:43You're having a hard time letting her grow up.
00:40:46I was trying to protect her.
00:40:48I don't think she needs protection from Joshua.
00:40:51He's a very nice young man.
00:40:53That's all you have to say about her?
00:40:56Good night, sweetheart.
00:41:03All right.
00:41:05Tomorrow I'll give Joshua my permission to court Lillian.
00:41:10I don't think I don't know about your little excursion with Annie.
00:41:24This town is filled with gossips.
00:41:26Can't keep a secret for more than five minutes.
00:41:28It's a pretty little town, Sykeston.
00:41:31I can see why you like it here.
00:41:33May I ask why you feel the need to go against every instruction I have for Annie?
00:41:38I don't deliberately go against your word.
00:41:42We just disagree about how to treat her.
00:41:45This isn't a competition, Mary.
00:41:47If a patient came to you with gangrene or pneumonia,
00:41:50I wouldn't dream of telling you how to treat them.
00:41:53That's your business.
00:41:55Babies are my business.
00:41:57Have been for 30 years.
00:41:59It's just there's been so many new advancements.
00:42:02Sometimes the old ways are best.
00:42:04Annie may have a serious condition which could be fatal to both her and the baby.
00:42:09Are you sure?
00:42:09Of course I'm not sure, but I'm not taking any chances.
00:42:13So it's true what they say that doctors only practice medicine.
00:42:20This conversation obviously isn't getting us anywhere.
00:42:22So Annie tells me you're barren.
00:42:26Or, uh, or having trouble anyway.
00:42:29I don't think that's any of your concern.
00:42:31I see this problem a lot.
00:42:34If you want, I could give you some remedies that are guaranteed to work.
00:42:37I know how it's done, Mary.
00:42:38I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
00:42:41So what do you think is the problem?
00:42:43You're too high strung.
00:42:44Folks worry too much about work, family, or whether or not they can have a baby.
00:42:51Then years go by and nothing happens.
00:42:55Then one day, they decide to stop trying.
00:42:57And before you know it, they find they're with child.
00:43:01So your sage advice for me is to relax.
00:43:06Read a book before you go to bed.
00:43:08Take some deep breaths.
00:43:11And before you know it, I'll be back to deliver your little one.
00:43:14I'll make sure I try that.
00:43:35Every baby boy needs his own blanket.
00:43:38Don't you agree?
00:43:39Yes, I do.
00:43:44I'm going to head to the shop for a few hours.
00:43:49I'll be back in time for supper.
00:43:51Don't you ever take time off?
00:43:53Oh, the good book says that a man who doesn't work doesn't deserve to eat.
00:43:57I ain't got a lot of work to do.
00:43:58We just thought you'd have more time off once you hired an apprentice.
00:44:01And I do.
00:44:01Now I'm only two weeks behind instead of six.
00:44:03Billion, you look lovely.
00:44:08Where are you headed off to?
00:44:10Joshua and I are having a picnic.
00:44:11You enjoy yourself.
00:44:13And please tell Joshua that we said hello.
00:44:15I will.
00:44:16You'll be back in time for supper now.
00:44:17No exceptions.
00:44:18I will.
00:44:19I promise.
00:44:21Bye, everyone.
00:44:22Bye, dear.
00:44:23Bye, dear.
00:44:23I love it.
00:44:39The sea is everything.
00:44:40It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe.
00:44:42Its breath is pure and healthy.
00:44:44It is an immense desert where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
00:44:49The sea is the only embodiment of the supernatural and wonderful existence.
00:44:53It is nothing but love and emotion.
00:44:55This is the living infinite, as one of your poets has said.
00:45:00I've been reading for almost two hours.
00:45:02You must be bored.
00:45:03I don't think I can ever get bored listening to you talk.
00:45:06You're just saying that.
00:45:07No, I'm not.
00:45:09I swear.
00:45:10It's just, I'd like this Captain Nemo if he weren't holding his friends hostage all the time.
00:45:15Well, I can't let them go and they might tell the world who he is.
00:45:1720,000 Leagues is an allegory.
00:45:19It's about personal freedom.
00:45:21Nemo means nobody in Latin.
00:45:22He's invisible to the world and wants to keep it that way.
00:45:25You're brilliant.
00:45:26You know that?
00:45:27I am not.
00:45:36Lee?
00:45:37You working today?
00:45:40You work harder than any man I know.
00:45:43Well, I can't let the customers down.
00:45:45Besides, it gives me thinking time.
00:45:47Anything that you'd like to share with your pastor?
00:45:51This is a lot of rumbling around in my head like a marble.
00:45:54Sometimes it helps to speak it out loud.
00:45:56Talking to yourself only gets the answer you're looking for.
00:46:00I just can't figure Lillian out.
00:46:01I'm trying to be a good father to her.
00:46:06Our children grow up, start spreading their wings.
00:46:10A father has to be aware of that and try to grow with his child.
00:46:15Yeah.
00:46:16Belinda tolerates more than I do.
00:46:17She's a mother.
00:46:19The good Lord gave them the patience of Job when it comes to raising their children.
00:46:23He shortchanged fathers in that area.
00:46:25I really wish you would get some rest.
00:46:36I feel fine.
00:46:38Looks like someone may have been wrong about my condition.
00:46:41Perhaps.
00:46:42So, if things improve with Lee, he says he isn't bothered, but I still sense that he's
00:46:50disappointed we can't have a baby.
00:46:52Well, maybe you're just being overly sensitive and you think that he's disappointed.
00:46:56Maybe.
00:46:58You know, I'm starting to think that maybe she regrets marrying me.
00:47:02Now, Lee, that is just plain nonsense.
00:47:05She's proud as a peacock that she married you.
00:47:08Maybe.
00:47:09Have you spoken to her about it?
00:47:10In a roundabout way.
00:47:13Of course, she says I'm wrong.
00:47:16Still, she seems kind of distant lately.
00:47:18She's got something on her mind.
00:47:20Most women do when they get like that.
00:47:23You know, we're, uh, trying to have a baby.
00:47:29So far, no luck.
00:47:30You have to have faith.
00:47:33Sometimes it's hard, Reverend.
00:47:36Talk to her about your feelings.
00:47:38I'd best be getting home.
00:47:42This is Dave's.
00:47:42They'll give me an earful if I'm late for supper.
00:47:44Yeah, myself included.
00:47:52Well, I see.
00:47:54You didn't need my help putting supper on the table.
00:47:57You're taking a nap, man.
00:47:59We just wanted you to be able to rest.
00:48:00I'll rest enough when I'm dead.
00:48:03Give me that knife before you cut yourself.
00:48:12So, do you miss your family?
00:48:14I do.
00:48:16My pa's a farmer back in Pennsylvania.
00:48:18He wanted more from me than to spend my entire life plowing fields.
00:48:22So, he said if I got good enough, maybe I can find some work in Philadelphia.
00:48:26Sounds like he cares about you a lot.
00:48:28Yeah, my family's pretty close.
00:48:31It's kind of strange, though.
00:48:33You know, being out here all by myself.
00:48:36I have three sisters and two brothers and not a moment of peace.
00:48:39Back at the boarding house, I got nothing but quiet.
00:48:41I know what you mean.
00:48:43I mostly grew up in an orphanage until Ma and Pa adopted me when I was ten.
00:48:46I'd spent so long in a room with other kids, I couldn't wait to have a room of my own.
00:48:52Now I miss having someone to talk to.
00:48:54Yeah, me.
00:48:57I do, don't I?
00:49:00So, tell me something.
00:49:02How'd you ever find a place like this, anyway?
00:49:05I stumbled across it by accident while riding one day.
00:49:08But it's so far off the main roads, no one really comes out here.
00:49:11So, I brought some of my old stuff and now it's where I come to be alone.
00:49:17I can see why.
00:49:18Captain Nemo had a cave near the ocean where he went to escape.
00:49:22This reminds me of it.
00:49:25Well, the timber still seems...
00:49:26I wouldn't do that.
00:49:28Whoa.
00:49:31Not as sound as you might think.
00:49:34You're probably right.
00:49:36I think it's best we pack up.
00:49:38Well, I'm happy to see you and Mary are getting along.
00:49:45You know, her fertility advice to me was to relax and read a book before bed.
00:49:52Did you try it?
00:49:53Of course not.
00:49:54She's been doing this longer than we've been alive.
00:49:57I can't believe you, Annie Watson.
00:49:59You've spent three years in medical school, five years practicing medicine,
00:50:03and you're going to believe that woman's folk magic?
00:50:05It's rubbish, plain and simple.
00:50:07Well, we ask people to believe in things they don't understand, and they do.
00:50:11Because they have trust and faith in us.
00:50:13Just like they have faith in the Lord.
00:50:15Okay, it is not the same thing, and we're talking about Mary here.
00:50:18Why do you have such a hard time believing in Mary's ways?
00:50:20Okay.
00:50:22Mary is a lovely woman.
00:50:24But you have to admit, she's a little touch in the head.
00:50:27She doesn't like me any more than I like her.
00:50:29Really?
00:50:29Really?
00:50:30The other day at the general store, Mary defended you to the ends of the earth.
00:50:34What are you talking about?
00:50:35The man with the anemic wife?
00:50:37The one that you said was such a success story?
00:50:40Mary is the reason that he brought her back to you.
00:50:43That's why Lloyd McQueen brought his wife back to me?
00:50:46Mary unloaded on him like a tornado.
00:50:48Spoke up for you, and just plain made him cower.
00:50:50Come on.
00:50:55Let's go.
00:50:59Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:51:05Hi, Pa.
00:51:07You were supposed to be home for supper.
00:51:09Joshua and I weren't that hungry, so we decided to stay out a little while longer.
00:51:12Well, it's well past supper.
00:51:13That's more than a little while.
00:51:15Why are you so angry?
00:51:16I thought I could trust your judgment, but apparently I was wrong.
00:51:19What's that supposed to mean?
00:51:20It means you can't spend any more time with Joshua, Quoyle, until I say so.
00:51:24You'll go to school, help your mother at the clinic, and come straight home.
00:51:27For how long?
00:51:28As long as it takes me to trust you again.
00:51:29That's completely unfair.
00:51:31Joshua's only two years older than I am, and no one tells him what to do.
00:51:34No one said the world was fair, young lady.
00:51:37Lil.
00:51:41I was worried about you.
00:51:55Hey.
00:52:04Hello, Joshua.
00:52:07Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:52:09Uh, Mr. Owens told me how much trouble I caused the other night.
00:52:14I just wanted to come by and say how sorry I am for keeping Lillian out so late.
00:52:18You needn't place the blame all on yourself.
00:52:20She's old enough to know better.
00:52:22No, I'm still sorry.
00:52:23Ma, I can't find the...
00:52:26bandages.
00:52:30Pa said I can't see you for a while.
00:52:32Pa said you couldn't go out with Joshua.
00:52:35He said nothing about the two of you seeing each other.
00:52:38Thanks, ma'am.
00:52:42Well, I have work to do.
00:52:45It was nice to see you, Joshua.
00:52:46There's always room open at the dinner table for you.
00:52:50Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:56I'm sorry to get you into trouble.
00:52:58You didn't do anything wrong, and neither did I.
00:53:00I'm a grown woman, and I don't need my pa deciding how late I can and can't stay out.
00:53:04He's just worried about you is all.
00:53:06Well, he doesn't need to be.
00:53:07There's no need to be crossed, Lillian.
00:53:09I mean, I'll still be here when you get off punishment.
00:53:11I'm not going anywhere.
00:53:14I wanted to return this.
00:53:16I finished it.
00:53:17Already?
00:53:17I just gave it to you.
00:53:19Once I got started, it was hard to quit.
00:53:22I mean, the sun was already up when I finally closed the book.
00:53:24So you stayed up all night just to read about Captain Nemo?
00:53:26Well, I don't think I would have gotten much sleep with or without him.
00:53:33I'll be thinking about you.
00:53:35Me too.
00:53:36Mary?
00:53:57In here, dear.
00:53:58Annie, should you be up?
00:54:06Where are you going?
00:54:09I've decided to head on home.
00:54:11I can see you're in good hands.
00:54:13You're leaving?
00:54:15Before the baby comes?
00:54:17Oh, you'll do fine.
00:54:19And besides, the last thing you need is an old granny midwife gumming up the works.
00:54:27This doesn't have anything to do with the disagreement between you and Belinda, does it?
00:54:31Oh, no, no, no.
00:54:34Truth is, I'm feeling homesick.
00:54:39I miss sleeping in my own bed.
00:54:40And my patients back home don't have a smart lady doctor to take care of them.
00:54:47If you've made your decision, I can't stop you.
00:54:50I would really love for you to stay, though.
00:54:53I want my family here when the baby comes.
00:54:55Belinda is your family, sweetheart.
00:54:59And Peter will be back with you next week.
00:55:02Besides, all of you will be home before long, and somebody's got to get the house ready.
00:55:08Hey.
00:55:10I'm going to go home to check on Annie.
00:55:12I shouldn't be alone.
00:55:13If there's an emergency, just send them my way, or I'm running, which you're very good at.
00:55:18I will, Ma.
00:55:18And thank you.
00:55:19For what?
00:55:20For understanding about me and Joshua.
00:55:22Believe it or not, I was your age once.
00:55:37I'm not going to keep her from church social.
00:55:39Well, you may not be able to go with her, but you'll see her there.
00:55:44In the meantime, we have an order to finish.
00:55:48All right.
00:55:49I like your attitude.
00:55:58You're leaving.
00:56:00Time for me to go home.
00:56:01Oh, sorry to hear that.
00:56:02I'm going to see her off into town.
00:56:05Annie, I just don't think it's a good idea for you to be carrying luggage and walking
00:56:08into town.
00:56:09It was my idea, Belinda.
00:56:10And I've been all over this whole territory through my entire pregnancy.
00:56:14I think I can handle a short walk into town.
00:56:16Doc Owens!
00:56:20Danny.
00:56:21Lillian told me he was here.
00:56:24Ma's in labor.
00:56:25Okay.
00:56:26There's a horse and buggy in the barn.
00:56:27Help me hook it up.
00:56:28Yes, ma'am.
00:56:31I trust you weren't walking to town along the way.
00:56:35All right, peach pie.
00:56:37You get back in the house.
00:56:38We'll stay put.
00:56:40Belinda and I have a baby to deliver.
00:56:42Mrs. Travis is my patient.
00:56:45If you find you don't need me, you have my permission to just shove me out of the way.
00:56:50But if you do, I'm there.
00:56:55Fine, but only because I don't have time to argue with you.
00:57:08Thank you, young man.
00:57:12It's never taken this long.
00:57:16The first few hours seem normal, but then it just stopped.
00:57:18What stopped?
00:57:19The contractions?
00:57:19No, Doc, the baby.
00:57:21It's like it's stuck, but I can't see the head.
00:57:23I'll see you to her.
00:57:24Your mama's gonna be fine.
00:57:28It's a fetal dystocia.
00:57:30A what?
00:57:31The baby's shoulder is stuck.
00:57:32What are you fixing to do with that?
00:57:34We have to get the baby out before it suffocates.
00:57:36We start pulling.
00:57:38We could make things worse.
00:57:40What should we do?
00:57:40Well, if you can't get the baby out from the inside, you'd try it from the outside.
00:57:48All right, help me with her now.
00:57:50That's good.
00:57:51What are we doing?
00:57:52We're gonna flatten out her hip bones.
00:57:57Travis, slow down for me.
00:57:59Now, we're gonna see you're stuck and who's not.
00:58:03There.
00:58:19It's gonna be all right.
00:58:30Pa?
00:58:38Pa?
00:58:42Hello, Joshua.
00:58:44Where's my pa?
00:58:46He's on delivery, then headed home.
00:58:49I'd sure like to go to the ice cream social.
00:58:52I'd sure like to ask you to go with me.
00:58:54So?
00:58:56Your pa said I could see you there.
00:58:59But I can't escort you.
00:59:01Sorry.
00:59:17Joshua.
00:59:20Pa is being so unreasonable.
00:59:23We were late coming home, okay?
00:59:25Don't tell me you're on his side.
00:59:27What's the difference in an hour or so?
00:59:29We got home just fine.
00:59:31He just doesn't trust me.
00:59:32Your pa had no way of knowing whether you are right
00:59:34when you didn't make it home on time.
00:59:35You sound just like pa.
00:59:37Ma is the only one who understands.
00:59:39Lillian, wait a second.
00:59:41Wait a second.
00:59:53Get out! Get out!
00:59:55Get out!
00:59:57It's a beautiful baby boy and your wife is fine.
01:00:13Can I see them?
01:00:15Shortly.
01:00:16Well, looks like we got ourselves a baby brother.
01:00:23Isn't he beautiful?
01:00:28He sure is.
01:00:30He better be.
01:00:34Leave it to a boy to jam up the works.
01:00:37Uh, that's not doctor's will.
01:00:51It doesn't matter who does it, just as long as it gets done.
01:00:55I learned something today that they didn't teach me medical school.
01:01:01and if you do, don't you know what it's going to be doing?
01:01:03Well, and I want to teach me medical school.
01:01:05No, I want to teach you medical school.
01:01:08And I want to teach you a lot of men to college school.
01:01:14Let me teach you a lot of men to school.
01:01:16All right.
01:01:47Whoa.
01:01:55Whoa.
01:01:59You seen Lillian?
01:02:01No, why?
01:02:02Well, we thought she might be with you.
01:02:03She's been missing all afternoon.
01:02:05We got in an argument at the shop over Mr. Owens, and she stormed off.
01:02:08Said you were the only one who understands her.
01:02:10We were hoping she'd run up to find you.
01:02:12She rode off on that crazy horse I bought for her.
01:02:15It's about to get dark outside.
01:02:16She gets stuck in the countryside.
01:02:19I think I know where she is.
01:02:20It's worse this time.
01:02:41I feel like I could faint.
01:02:42Okay, okay.
01:02:43Let's get her inside.
01:02:44It looks as if the doctor was right about bed rest.
01:02:48Let's go.
01:02:54Let's go.
01:02:59Let's go.
01:02:59How much further?
01:03:23It's just up ahead.
01:03:29How are you feeling?
01:03:34I'm really not as lighted as before.
01:03:37I like to just go to bed.
01:03:39Let's get you upstairs to a darkened room.
01:03:42Doctor's orders.
01:03:53Oh, no.
01:03:59Was it like this before?
01:04:21No, sir.
01:04:22Looks like there is a cave-in.
01:04:24She might be hurt.
01:04:25This is one of her lamps.
01:04:29Come on.
01:04:29Let's go.
01:04:30Lil!
01:04:32Lil!
01:04:41It's right up there.
01:04:43I see her.
01:04:46Lil!
01:04:49Lil.
01:04:51Give me a hand with this.
01:04:52One, two, three.
01:04:54We got it.
01:04:59We got it.
01:04:59We got it.
01:05:00Lil.
01:05:02Lil.
01:05:04Come on.
01:05:05Talk to me, pumpkin.
01:05:12Pa?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:14Not me, Ronnie.
01:05:17Just take it easy.
01:05:19Just stay down, all right?
01:05:19Let me get you out of here.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:24Come on.
01:05:33How's Lillian?
01:05:47A few got some bruises, but nothing that won't heal nicely.
01:05:55She's out for the night.
01:05:57Lee's sitting with her for a while.
01:05:59Give her a couple days.
01:06:01She'll be right as rain.
01:06:02At that age, nothing keeps them down.
01:06:06Well, I think her ego has suffered more than her body.
01:06:08Uh, this too shall pass.
01:06:14Children are just so resilient, aren't they?
01:06:17True miracles.
01:06:19Are you still fretting about the baby making?
01:06:22I don't think I'll be making babies anytime soon, Mary.
01:06:24Give it up if you want.
01:06:27But I'm telling you, the shine in your hair is not the mark of a barren woman.
01:06:34You don't really believe that, do you?
01:06:36Doesn't matter what I believe.
01:06:38Only matters what you believe.
01:06:40What do you mean?
01:06:40Medicine isn't the only thing that makes people feel better.
01:06:44It's believing that they can be better.
01:06:49I'm sorry I doubted you.
01:06:52You didn't deserve it.
01:06:54The Lord says we are to forgive if we expect to be forgiven.
01:07:00Make me some fresh bacon and eggs in the morning and all is forgiven.
01:07:05That's a promise.
01:07:06Yes.
01:07:14Late night tonight.
01:07:17Everyone's worn out.
01:07:19A little sleeping like a pup.
01:07:27You know, I think I might read a book before bed tonight.
01:07:34Really?
01:07:35You never read in bed.
01:07:36I think it'll do me good.
01:07:39Help me unwind after the long day we've all had.
01:07:42Mm-hmm.
01:07:44Doc.
01:07:50I've been thinking about us trying to have a baby.
01:07:53Lil's changed our lives in so many wonderful ways.
01:07:57And I'm sure there's plenty of children down at the orphanage you need a good home.
01:08:01You mean you'll still be happy even if we can't have children of our home?
01:08:05I'll be happy as long as I'm with you.
01:08:09Always have been.
01:08:09Always will be.
01:08:10Do you think my hair is shiny?
01:08:18Yeah.
01:08:19Yeah, I like the sunrise.
01:08:25I do love you, Mr. Owens.
01:08:28I love you, too.
01:08:29Oh, all right.
01:08:33You can read your book now.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:37All right.
01:08:40I'll just go to sleep.
01:08:47I'm sure I can't help you read it or...
01:08:50No.
01:08:50All right.
01:08:51Shouldn't you be in bed?
01:09:03My ball and chain let me come downstairs.
01:09:06She has her mind set on going to the ice cream social.
01:09:09What if I find a shady, comfortable place to just sit and eat ice cream?
01:09:13You are not going to the social.
01:09:16I am a doctor.
01:09:17I vote yes.
01:09:18Well, that's one vote for Dr. Annie and one vote for the midwife.
01:09:22I guess you've got the tie-breaking vote, Doc.
01:09:28I'm sorry, Annie.
01:09:29I'm going to have to side with the midwife.
01:09:31But I love ice cream.
01:09:32Then I'll send you some.
01:09:34That's not the same.
01:09:35How do I know you're not going to sneak out when we're gone?
01:09:37Don't give it a second thought, Doc.
01:09:39This old ball and chain will be sitting right here like a prison warden.
01:09:44You're both against me.
01:09:45That's right.
01:09:46Read your book and pout.
01:10:00Don't you look beautiful?
01:10:02Except for this.
01:10:04I don't know.
01:10:04We'll even notice that.
01:10:06Even Joshua?
01:10:07Especially Joshua.
01:10:09Thanks for telling Joshua you can escort me to the social.
01:10:12You're still coming with your mother and I, right?
01:10:14I told him I wanted to walk in with my family and see him from afar.
01:10:17That's very romantic.
01:10:19Must be from all the books I read.
01:10:22Pa.
01:10:24I'm sorry for not making curfew the other night.
01:10:28Oh, no.
01:10:28You were just worried about me.
01:10:29Don't worry about it.
01:10:30You're growing up so fast sometimes I can't keep up with you.
01:10:36Thanks, Pa.
01:10:37Come here.
01:10:38And then he stepped like this.
01:10:53Mr. Owens, Dr. Owens, would you like some lemonade?
01:11:05No, thank you.
01:11:06No, thank you, Joshua.
01:11:07Hey, partner.
01:11:15How'd you ice cream?
01:11:17Doc Owens, can we talk?
01:11:19Boyd, I believe you know my husband Lee.
01:11:23Boyd, I want to thank you.
01:11:26Mabel's as different as night and day.
01:11:28It's all I can do to keep up with her.
01:11:30Boyd, you do look like a brand new person.
01:11:32I've had a lot more energy.
01:11:34I still need some extra sleep in the afternoons.
01:11:36I'm getting stronger every day.
01:11:37Well, the best medicine is no good if it isn't dispensed to receive with a joyful spirit.
01:11:43It's all too easy to forget that.
01:11:45Well, I, uh, mostly want to apologize for being stubborn.
01:11:51Thanks again, Doc Owens.
01:11:52It was my pleasure.
01:11:53And I should be the one to apologize to you, Mabel.
01:11:58I had no right to be cross with you when you needed my help.
01:12:01I hope you can forgive me.
01:12:02There's nothing to forgive.
01:12:06Have a good day.
01:12:11Wow.
01:12:13That was a very nice thing you just did.
01:12:17You like some ice cream?
01:12:18I'd love some.
01:12:23I got Lee's telegram.
01:12:38Where's Annie?
01:12:39The Lord brought you at the right time.
01:12:42Everyone's in town at a social.
01:12:43I need Belinda now.
01:12:45I want to see Annie.
01:12:47Get Belinda now.
01:12:53You look beautiful.
01:12:55So you look handsome.
01:12:59I still can't believe it.
01:13:01Can't believe what?
01:13:03That I'm here with the smartest, most beautiful girl in town.
01:13:06It's very sweet of you to stay at Joshua.
01:13:10Yeah.
01:13:21Melissa's got a boyfriend.
01:13:25Melissa's got a boyfriend.
01:13:27Melissa's got a boyfriend.
01:13:29Melissa's got a boyfriend.
01:13:30Gracie, Shannon, you go on and get out of here.
01:13:32Melinda, John Goins, I need you!
01:13:46Whoa!
01:13:47Whoa!
01:13:50Melinda!
01:13:51Peter!
01:13:52It's Annie.
01:13:52You gotta come quick.
01:13:54Joshua, you see to it that Lillian gets home safe.
01:13:57Yes, sir.
01:13:58Yeah!
01:13:59Yeah!
01:13:59Stand back!
01:14:01Dog!
01:14:02Yeah!
01:14:08Mary, thank God you're back.
01:14:10She's had a seizure.
01:14:12I've got her in bed.
01:14:14Pete, what are the best way down here?
01:14:18There's nothing you can do up there.
01:14:19Wait, wait, wait.
01:14:28Dear Lord, please watch over Annie and her baby.
01:14:32Amen.
01:14:37Amen.
01:14:38Amen.
01:14:39Thank you, Lee.
01:14:40You're welcome.
01:14:42Come on, let's have a seat.
01:14:43Peter.
01:14:52Peter.
01:14:52He's waiting downstairs.
01:14:59Right.
01:14:59I'm afraid so.
01:15:01Please save my baby.
01:15:10I know what you have to do.
01:15:13I'm going to close my eyes now.
01:15:23What did she mean, you know what has to be done?
01:15:40That baby has to come out if we're to save it, even at the risk of her own life.
01:15:45That baby is ready.
01:15:47She was talking about a cesarean delivery, which I could do at the clinic, but under very crude conditions.
01:15:55Have you ever done one?
01:15:56I did one once at a hospital in Boston, but I had the proper equipment and staff.
01:16:01And there wasn't any clamsy involved.
01:16:04Is there no other choice?
01:16:08Not if she doesn't go into labor soon.
01:16:10Well then, we best get that labor going.
01:16:15Here, here.
01:16:18What is that?
01:16:19Scotch broom with a little vanilla to help it go down.
01:16:24Women have been using it for centuries.
01:16:26Scotch broom is a weed?
01:16:27A weed the good Lord made.
01:16:30His wonders to perceive.
01:16:32Does it work?
01:16:33Sure as the sunrise.
01:16:36A little of this, and we'll have our baby boy in no time.
01:16:45Is there anything else I can do?
01:16:47A glass of water.
01:16:49Poison's bed.
01:16:51Take care.
01:17:22Our temperature is slightly raised, but our heart beating and our breathing are normal.
01:17:28No contractions yet.
01:17:30It doesn't seem to be working. It's never taken this long.
01:17:34Let's just give it a little more time.
01:17:37We could lose Annie and the baby.
01:17:40Do you have everything here that you need to do a cesarean delivery?
01:17:45What about taking a spoonful of that faith you're always talking about?
01:17:57I'm going to make some tea.
01:17:59Do you like a cup?
01:17:59No, thank you.
01:18:15Any news?
01:18:16Nothing yet.
01:18:17I'm going to have a cup of tea.
01:18:20You're doing fine, Annie. Just keep breathing.
01:18:43I'm sorry.
01:18:47Contractions. Closer together.
01:18:49We are going to introduce this baby boy to his new family.
01:18:53It's all right. It's all right.
01:18:55Keep breathing. Good. Good.
01:18:58Congratulations, Uncle Reedus.
01:19:24She's so beautiful.
01:19:32I've delivered hundreds of babies, but I've never seen one this...
01:19:36Perfect.
01:19:38And I'm not just saying that because she's my granddaughter.
01:19:41I thought she was a boy.
01:19:42She carried like a boy.
01:19:46We let them learn, don't we, Doc?
01:19:48We sure do.
01:19:50Thank you both for being here.
01:19:52There's no other place we'd rather be.
01:19:58Is it okay if I come in?
01:20:05Come meet your daughter, Peter.
01:20:06Can I hold her?
01:20:13Come sit.
01:20:16Come sit.
01:20:17Come sit.
01:20:19Come sit.
01:20:32Hey, you got that, fella?
01:20:49How about your present?
01:20:50Present.
01:20:53These are a few of my favorites.
01:20:55When I asked you for a few books, I thought you'd give me one or two.
01:20:59By the way you went through 20,000 links, I figured you'd use a few more.
01:21:03Oh, you think so?
01:21:07I should probably get going.
01:21:09Okay.
01:21:10Will I see you later?
01:21:12Sure is this one fine day.
01:21:14Come on, come on.
01:21:16Help me out of here.
01:21:17Joshua, when you're finished swooning over my daughter, I could use a little help in here.
01:21:31I'm coming.
01:21:34Lord, thank you for the family that surrounds us and the love which envelops us.
01:21:39May we always strive to walk the way you like and be true missionaries of your word.
01:21:47Amen.
01:21:58Hey, are you all right?
01:21:59I'm fine.
01:22:00Just a little stuffy inside.
01:22:02I've gotten so used to you being at the house, it's going to be too quiet when we're gone.
01:22:06Well, it's been a week since my darling daughter was born.
01:22:09I think it's time we go home.
01:22:11I'm going to miss you so very much.
01:22:14And all the more reason for you to come visit us soon.
01:22:21What are you doing out of here?
01:22:22Oh, I was just getting some fresh air talking to Annie.
01:22:25You're going to miss her, aren't you?
01:22:28Well, we have her for one more night.
01:22:31Let's enjoy her what we can.
01:22:32Let's enjoy her what we can.
01:22:36Thank you very much, thank you.
01:22:43It was my pleasure, Pete.
01:22:45And Belinda, I can never thank you enough.
01:22:48Well, I wish I could take all the credit, but I had some expert help.
01:22:53This has been the happiest time of my life.
01:22:56I'm so glad that I got to share this with you.
01:22:58Me too.
01:23:00All aboard, folks!
01:23:01We're burning daylight!
01:23:02I think it's about that time.
01:23:04Will you hold baby Lindy for me?
01:23:06Of course.
01:23:09I thought you'd do.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:19Bye.
01:23:19Well, my friend, we had ourselves an adventure.
01:23:46How do I thank you, Mary?
01:23:48Well, you could start by finding me a husband.
01:23:53I learned a lot from you.
01:23:55And I from you.
01:23:57I may bring them into the world, but you keep them alive and kicking once they're here.
01:24:02Now, if you ever need a good midwife, you know where to find me.
01:24:07Oh, young man, I'm going to need a hand here.
01:24:24All right.
01:24:26Here we go.
01:24:27Wait a minute.
01:24:27One, two, three.
01:24:29Steady, steady, steady.
01:24:30Well, Commodore, are we sailing with the tide?
01:24:37I thought you said we were burning daylight.
01:24:40Yes, ma'am.
01:24:41Yeah, get out!
01:24:43Get!
01:24:44Where are you and Mary whispering to each other?
01:25:00Oh, she's telling her I'd be needing a good midwife.
01:25:08You mean?
01:25:09Mm-hmm.
01:25:09Are you sure?
01:25:14I'm a doctor.
01:25:15I know a pregnant woman when I see one, especially when I am one.
01:25:22Hey!
01:25:24We're going to have a baby.
01:25:26Baby?
01:25:28We're going to have a baby!
01:25:32Lillian Owens, you were late enough for school as it is.
01:25:34Put those running legs to good use.
01:25:36Yes, ma'am.
01:25:36Joshua Coyle, don't just stand there and gawk.
01:25:41You've got a job to do.
01:25:43Yes, ma'am.
01:25:47I've got patients to attend to and baby plans to make.
01:25:53Uh, now wait up.
01:25:55Now wait up a bit.
01:25:58How far along are you?
01:26:01Now I'm serious.
01:26:04Well, we've got to start talking about names, really.
01:26:06I mean, I like leave for a boy.
01:26:08Oh, you think it's going to be a boy?
01:26:09Or, uh, you know, maybe Daphne for a girl.
01:26:12What do you think?
01:26:12Oh, that's very funny.
01:26:14Come on, you want a little girl, don't you?
01:26:16What do you think?
01:26:17All right, I'll hold on.
01:26:18I'll get the floor for you.
01:26:19Oh, wait.
01:26:20Oh, my goodness.
01:26:20Take it easy.
01:26:21Stop it.
01:26:22Stop it.
01:26:22Stop it.
01:26:22Stop it.
01:26:22Stop it.
01:26:22Stop it.
01:26:22Stop it.
01:26:22Stop it.
01:26:23Stop it.
01:26:23Stop it.
01:26:24Stop it.
01:26:24Stop it.
01:26:25Stop it.
01:26:26Stop it.
01:26:26Stop it.
01:26:27Stop it.
01:26:28Stop it.
01:26:28Stop it.
01:26:29Stop it.
01:26:30Stop it.
