Harvest Moon (2015) - full transcript

I love these shoes.

Gor-geous.

Right?

Good bones,

excellent design,

flawless style.

I feel like these shoes say,

"I am Jennifer Stone".

They should.

You already own them.

You bought

the same pair last week.

I forgot.

Disappointed.

You know, that's what I love

about you best, Jen.

Any time I feel guilty

about how much money

I'm dishing out

on clothes, or shoes,

or handbags...

you're always there

to outspend me.

Well, what are friends for?

Thank you.

OK, now for the biggest decision

of the day...

Where to have lunch.

I don't know.

I don't know if I have time.

I need to update

my fashion blog this afternoon.

Oh, honey, the world can wait a few

more hours for your next fashion post.

How about

Maison de Salade?

No, they're under renovations.

Here. Selfie!

You know,

it's not just about fashion, though.

I do write about

other important things,

Like what's trending

in hair and makeup.

Oh, right.

What about Fontaine noire?

No! They have

that awful hostess.

She was so rude last time.

Yeah. Well, there's always

Avenue 99.

They have that

really cute waiter, Jean-Paul.

I'm sorry, miss Stone,

Do you have another card?

There was a problem

with this one.

Pardon me?

Your charge card,

it was declined.

Try it again, please.

I tried it twice.

Maybe you have another one.

OK. Here.

Thank you.

OK, wait,

I thought you were

off the market.

Haven't you been seeing that

"Tim" guy for almost a month?

Ted and I are so over.

What happened?

He called me irresponsible.

Can you imagine?

I'm... terribly sorry,

miss Stone.

This one was declined as well.

What?

OK. I told you

this place has gone downhill.

Just leave your bags

and we'll go shop

somewhere else.

No, I don't understand. How could

both of these have been declined?

Daddy?

You won't believe

what just happened.

What?

What?

What?

We're broke?

Daddy, you're joking, right?

I wish I were, sweetheart,

but it's true.

I'm filing for bankruptcy

in the morning.

Mr. Gordon, you're his lawyer.

How could you let this happen?

Well, Jen,

the foreign exchange markets,

I'm afraid,

are a little bit out of my control.

I mean, we had a contingency,

but what with the financial

situation in Europe right now,

and some of your father's

larger investments

underperforming... The truth is,

I took some risks

that I, you know,

probably shouldn't have,

and once the dominoes

start falling,

they can be pretty hard to stop.

Sweetheart,

I'm really sorry, OK?

Don't worry, Daddy,

we'll get through this.

I mean, I still have

my trust fund.

We can live on that until you

get your feet back on the ground.

I do still have

my trust fund, don't I?

I didn't want

to tell you this, sweetheart,

but you spent your way through

all of that about a year ago.

But you always look fabulous.

What... No, I'm sure

I still have money in it.

Your father has been topping

that account up for months now,

and now that's gone, too.

Bankrupt...

I can't believe this.

We've lost everything?

Well, not quite.

There's the farm...

What farm?

I forgot about the farm.

Just a little piece of property

that I bought about a year ago.

It was like, what, 50?

Fifty.

Fifty acres. It's just two

hours north of the city.

And it's in your name.

A pumpkin farm?

I thought it would be a nice,

little investment for you.

You know,

they were talking about

doing some condos on the land,

and then the local government

wouldn't rezone it,

so the land can't be developed.

Now it's all yours.

I own a pumpkin farm.

You own a pumpkin farm?

Yeah, but not for long.

I'm just going up there

to check the place out,

sign some papers,

and sell it as soon as I can.

I heard about your dad.

I am so sorry.

Everything will be OK.

And after all,

it's just money, right?

Brooke, did I lose you?

No! Still here.

Anyway... good luck.

Lunch this week?

I'll call you.

Here, let me.

Thank you, ma'am.

Poor Fred.

Took a bad fall

off his back porch.

It's gonna be a tough

harvest for him this year.

Grab a seat anywhere you'd like.

Special today

is the hot chicken sandwich.

Oh, no thank you.

I don't do carbs.

My GPS

doesn't seem to be working

this far out of the city.

I was wondering If anyone can

help me find the Jarrett farm?

Brett Jarrett?

I think that that's his name.

It's... Yeah. Brett Jarrett.

How do I get there?

Mind if I ask why?

Of course.

I own the place.

You?

I haven't been there, so I figured

I'd go check it out before I sell.

You're gonna sell

the Jarrett place?

Gonna try.

Keep going down this road,

second left, all the way to the end,

one more right turn,

and you're there.

Got it. Thank you!

And...

you may want to

rethink those shoes.

I think they'll be fine.

Who was that?

Trouble.

Hello?

Hello!

Hello?

I am so sorry!

Sorry?

You just ruined a $2,000 outfit!

Why are you wearing

a $2,000 outfit on a farm?

Why are you not looking

where you're going?

Why are you on my property?

Because it's not

your property, sir,

It's my property.

You're the girl from the city.

- The one who owns the place.

- Yeah, I am.

And I am going

to have to have a little talk

with your boss,

Mr. Jarrett.

You are.

Well then.

Hello. I'm Jennifer Stone.

Brett Jarrett.

Look, I'm sorry about that,

OK? I didn't see you there.

Why don't you come on up to the house,

we'll get you dried up.

I am fine, Mr. Jarrett.

Just because I'm from the city

doesn't mean that I

can't handle a little mud.

Suit yourself.

Hey, miss Stone?

Yes?

I've got some clothes here

that you can borrow

until Aunt Rosie dries yours.

Thank you.

Just leave them outside.

We'll see ya downstairs.

Thank you.

Hi.

This is pretty fancy stuff.

The next time you decide to throw

a complete stranger in the mud,

you'd better pick someone who

doesn't have such expensive taste.

Well, I didn't "throw" her

into the mud, Aunt Rosie.

She bumped into me and fell.

Really?

Really.

Look, is it my fault

that she doesn't know her way

around a farm?

Whoa.

Whose sweet car is that...

Boots!

It's miss Stone.

The one from the city?

They don't grow 'em

that way out here.

Where is she?

She's in the bathroom, changing,

'cause we had an accident.

You already talk to her about

not selling the place yet?

No. I haven't had a chance.

To be honest with you,

I don't think

it's gonna do much good.

She, kind of seems like the girl

who's used to

getting her own way.

You just have to talk some sense into her,

big brother.

Tell her that Jarretts have

been on this farm for 75 years,

and as soon as we can put the

money together, we're gonna buy it back.

Yeah, well, if we have another

year like we did last year,

we'll barely keep the lights on.

If your mother

heard you talking like that,

She would wash

your mouth out with soap.

Well, it's just not fair,

that's all, Aunt Rosie.

I mean, some "lady,"

like this miss Stone

comes along,

doesn't know

nothing from nothing,

Thinks she can just up and sell

our home out from underneath us?

Yeah, well,

it doesn't need to be fair, not for her.

They don't like people like us,

They don't like farming.

OK? They're just

going to come in here

and sell this place

to the highest...

Well, you make those clothes

look a lot better than I do.

Miss Stone.

This is our aunt Rosie.

How do you do, miss Stone?

Just Jen, please.

Thank you for the loaners.

How are my clothes doing?

Well, I'm going

to hang them outside,

But they'll... they'll live.

Hi, I'm Harry.

The better-looking

younger brother. Hi.

And that little

munchkin right there

- is my daughter, Abby.

- Hi, Abby.

Hey.

She's a little shy.

That's OK.

Where's your mommy?

My mommy's in heaven.

I'm... I'm sorry...

Can I get you

some coffee, miss Stone?

Aunt Rosie makes

the best in the county.

Actually...

if you don't mind, I'd like to just

start surveying the property now.

You ride, miss Stone?

Ride?

Horses.

I've ridden, yeah.

Let's go have a look

at your farm.

It was nice meeting you guys.

OK.

You all right, miss Stone?

I'm fine, thank you.

OK.

You really think he's just

gonna let her sell the place?

I don't see that

he has much of a choice.

But knowing your brother...

He's not going to make it easy.

Shall we?

I thought you said you rode?

I've ridden in Griffith Park.

They were ponies!

Nice.

Go.

Go. Yes. Ooh!

OK.

No.

Over there's the east field.

It's where we rotate the crops.

Corn, hay, barley,

you know,

depends on the weather,

or whatever's in demand.

But this here's

where we make our real money.

That is a lot of pumpkins.

You know, people carve 'em up

for Halloween,

eat 'em for thanksgiving.

After that,

you can't give 'em away.

Come on.

OK.

Oh, that's cute.

What's that?

It's nothing.

OK.

Look. There's oil everywhere.

That's... that's got to be...

I can see the oil. I can...

Where does that come from?

The injector pump.

Is not.

Do you have to argue...

I just happen

to be right... again.

What's up?

Darn thing conked out again.

The injector pump's

gotta be fixed.

Not the injector pump.

The cylinders,

valves need replacing.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I know more than you.

No, you don't.

Lou, Phil,

hey, this is miss Stone.

Miss Stone,

this is Lou and Phil.

These are my lead hands.

And as if you can't tell

by the bickering.

- Husband and wife.

- Right, right.

You're the one Brett said

is gonna put us outta work?

I'm not so sure about that.

I am.

Come on, you sell this farm,

you think they're gonna wanna keep

a couple of old goats like us around?

All right, you know what,

I'll finish up,

and then come have a look at that.

It was very nice

meeting you both.

Go.

That way. Yeah.

It's the injector pump.

Is not.

Is too. Is not.

Is too.

Is not.

Well, where does

the oil come from?

Whoa. Whoa, whoa.

Was that really necessary?

What?

You told them that I might be

the reason that they lose their jobs?

Well, it's the truth, isn't it?

Don't you have

other farm hands here?

I can't hire 'em full-time.

We just bring 'em in

when it's harvest...

Aw, really?

Come on!

OK... Whoa. OK! OK!

I'm coming! OK!

Whoa!

Do you really need to do

that now? I have to get going.

Well, we never

leave a fence broken, OK?

It's kind of

a tradition around here.

I'm not really big

into tradition.

Well, maybe not,

but when your neighbors' cattle

come into your property,

they can eat your bottom line

faster than you can say "moo".

Well, if you ask me,

this whole place needs fixing.

You've really let it go.

Well, maybe I've had

a few things on my mind.

Well, that tractor back there

looks like it's

on its last legs.

You guys should just get

rid of it and buy a new one.

Let me try and explain

something to you, Miss Stone.

OK, on the farm,

when something's broken,

we don't just get rid of it, OK?

We try to fix it.

Whoa!

You all right?

You did that on purpose!

What?

I get that

you don't like me, Mr. Jarrett,

and quite frankly,

I am not so fond of you either,

but we are stuck

in this together,

and I would appreciate it

if you didn't try to kill me.

I did not try to kill you.

I'm going to go

find a real estate agent,

fill out whatever papers a real

estate agent needs me to fill out,

and I'm going

to sell this place,

and we never need

to see each other again.

The house is the other way.

Goodbye.

I'm sorry I couldn't have been more help,

miss,

but with things being

the way they are and all,

and what not,

Well, you know,

it's just the way it is,

like that,

and that's all there is to it.

I'm sorry, too.

I'm in here, sweetie.

So how'd it go

with the real estate agent?

It went... great.

They were really helpful.

That's good, that's good.

So did you find out how much

your little farm is worth?

Not the exact amount, but...

It is worth...

a lot of money.

Now all we have to do

is find you a buyer, right?

Exactly.

I left your old bedroom

for you to pack.

I wouldn't know

what you might want to keep

and what you might want

to throw away, you know?

It's going to be OK, Dad.

Of course it is.

How much is the farm worth?

Are you guys rich again?

Let's just say

if I were to sell tomorrow,

the land, the buildings,

all the equipment...

It wouldn't buy me a first-class

bus ticket to Bakersfield.

Wait, what?

How is that even possible?

They've got a lot of bills,

and they've got all these

outstanding debts in the town.

It's just... it's a mess.

I'm so sorry, honey.

What are you going to do?

Maybe I should get a job?

A job?

What would you do?

I don't know.

I'm so depressed.

I can't even afford

to go shopping to get over it.

Let's go down to the salon

and get makeovers.

I can't...

Come on, it is my treat.

And it always helps

when you're in a bad mood.

Let's go.

Thank you, Brooke...

But I really don't think that this

problem can be solved with a...

Brooke!

What?

That's it.

That's what I'm going to do!

See, I told you.

There is nothing in life that

a few new highlights can't fix.

No, not for me.

I'm going to give

the pumpkin farm a makeover!

That's so smart.

Don't stop on my account.

That was your mom's

favorite song.

I never could

get it right, though.

You always got it right enough

for her, I bet.

Well well.

Brett!

We've got company.

Hi!

I wore sensible shoes this time.

Wait.

I forgot my sunglasses.

There we go.

This is already looking better.

It's really pretty,

Isn't it, Daddy?

Yeah.

So what you're saying

is you want us to work together?

All of us.

Rosie, Harry, Phil, Lou.

I bet there's even something

that Abby can do.

I want to be

the pumpkin princess.

The what?

Something grandma would

do with her during the harvest.

Abby'd ride

on top of the tractor

with a little crown on her head.

It wasn't a crown, Uncle Harry,

it was a tiara.

I stand corrected.

Yes, you do,

but we don't do that anymore.

OK, so let's say we help you,

we fix the place up,

make it more profitable.

And more valuable

for potential buyers.

And then you turn around

and you sell it for a higher price?

Exactly.

OK, well, let me state

the obvious, then.

What's in it for us?

I'm glad that you asked,

because right here...

Excuse me...

OK..

Here.

"If Party A", that's you,

"Agrees to the terms set out

by Party B," that's me,

"Then as a condition

of any sale of the property,

"Party A will be entitled

"to continue residing

and working on the property

"as an employee

of any new owner.

In perpetuity".

That sounds really official.

My dad's lawyer helped me with it,

But I came up with everything.

So what do you say?

Well, when would you want

to start something like this?

How about now?

My bags are in the car.

Wait... So...

You want to stay here?

With us?

Well, why not?

I kind of own the place.

I think that at least

gives her rights

to the guest room?

Harry,

would you like to help me

with my suitcases?

All right.

What?

This was

Mr. And Mrs. Jarrett's room.

I put fresh linens on,

there's towels by the basin.

I hope it'll be all right?

It's lovely.

And so authentic!

I think with some new wallpaper,

maybe a bright rug,

a couple of throw pillows,

It'll be perfect.

Help.

Just put it there.

OK.

Thank you!

That's a lot of luggage.

Aunt Rosie, can you help me

get the rest of it?

Well, I didn't know how long

I was going to be staying.

I can't very well be caught

wearing the wrong season,

could I?

No. No, I guess not.

Brett.

I just...

I wanted to apologize

for before.

I might have overreacted

a little bit.

Just a little?

All right,

maybe more than a little,

But I just wanted to say

that I'm sorry

and I hope that

we can put it all behind us.

Yeah.

Yeah. Me too.

Well, I appreciate that.

No problem.

I should check on Lou and Phil.

The tractor, you know,

it's acting up.

OK.

OK!

OK.

Is she really

just staying with us

or is she moving in with us?

Give me that.

I can't believe you're really

going to go through with this.

Don't worry about it.

Look, a couple of weeks

of farm living,

she's gonna give up,

she's gonna go back to the city.

Yeah, but what about the farm?

She'll sell it,

and then when nobody's buying,

we'll pick it up for a song,

and the Jarrett farm will be in

the Jarrett family once again.

But what makes you so sure

she's gonna quit?

You know how hard

the work can be around here.

It's occupied!

Sorry, sorry!

...And bless cousin Hannah,

and Aunt Paula,

and Uncle Rory,

and Mrs. Carmichael,

and Dr. Wilson,

and grandma and grandpa,

and Buster the cat,

and Wonder Woman,

and especially bless mommy.

Amen.

OK, into bed.

There we go.

How long is she going to stay?

Who?

You know who. Jennifer.

I'm not sure, honey. Not long.

I like her.

Do you like her, Daddy?

Yeah. She's very nice.

No. I mean do you like her?

Goodnight, honey.

Goodnight, Dad.

Bathroom's free.

I was...

Well, if you need anything,

fresh towels or something,

let me know.

Thank you.

Am I interrupting something?

No. Just girl talk.

Well, make sure you get

lots of sleep tonight.

We start pretty early in the

morning. I'm used to that.

I do a morning yoga class

back in L.A.,

It starts at 9:00 a.m.

Yeah.

See you in the morning.

'Night.

'Night.

Excuse me.

What is that?

What is that sound?

What is happening?

What's going...

I...

Hey... I was...

Sorry, I...

Are you all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

What was that noise?

What noise?

That.

That's old Frankie.

He's telling us it's morning.

Already?

It's 5:00 a.m.!

Yeah. Rise and shine!

Good morning!

Yeah.

Morning.

- Good morning, everybody.

- Good morning.

Fancy.

Coming from

a fashion plate like you,

that's a compliment.

Lou, if you ever want

any tips, I'd be happy to help.

That'll be the day.

I've got a big stack of

pancakes with your name on it.

Oh, Rosie!

No thank you.

I don't really do breakfast.

Maybe just a smoothie?

I'll put these in the blender.

You know, I thought

maybe we could start the day

by showing you

how we do things around here.

Yeah, get you a feel

for how the farm works,

get your hands dirty.

If you're up for it.

I am not afraid of hard work,

That's for sure.

That's great.

Let's get to it!

OK.

All right, first thing,

I think you should get acquainted

with our irrigation system.

Sounds good.

Water is very important.

We're supposed to have

eight glasses a day, you know?

Sure.

Now, it is automatic, of course,

but every single morning,

it's got to be checked out

for leaks and cracks

in the dribbler heads.

OK, so how do we do that?

Old-fashioned way's best.

Up and down the rows,

one line at a time.

The whole thing?

The whole thing.

I mean, unless

you're not up for it.

I've done the warehouse sale

at Barney's every spring.

I think I can do this.

OK.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You know, she doesn't need

to check the irrigation.

We had that alarm system

installed last summer

in case of leaks.

Yeah. I know.

You poor thing.

How long are you going to be

stuck up there for?

I'm not sure exactly.

I mean, I guess until we get

this place on its feet.

Well, it sounds

absolutely horrible.

It's not that bad.

Look. I'm in the field

like a real country girl!

Well...

Just, make sure

you're using a good sunblock.

I have to go.

Talk to you later.

Well, this is going to be easier

than I thought.

I'm starving.

You are all gonna wash up

before you sit at my table.

Yeah! Chili con carne,

my favorite!

You never get that excited

when I make Chili con carne.

That's 'cause yours tastes like the

carne's trying to get outta the pot.

Oh, you zip it.

Where's Jen?

She's on her way.

Yeah, after she fed the chickens

and did the pumpkin count.

Pumpkin count?

Aunt Rosie, you know

how important it is

that we know exactly how

many pumpkins are on the vine.

Oh, you poor thing.

Look at you!

I'm OK.

I mean, I will be, as soon as I

get some feeling back in my legs.

You go on up

and soak in the tub.

I'll fix you a tray.

Oh, no, Rosie,

I don't want to be a bother.

No bother.

You go on now.

OK.

What?

You've got a bad sunburn.

Looks like

my jar of L'oublier moisturizer

is no match

for your country sunshine.

You should try

some of grandma's cream.

What's grandma's cream?

Come on.

My grandma used to make it.

There's still a little bit left.

Pumpkin-y.

It is.

Go ahead, try it.

My mommy used it all the time.

Do you think your mommy

would like it?

Well, my mommy's in heaven,

like yours.

You think they're friends?

I'm sure they are.

I gave Jen

some of grandma's cream, Daddy.

That's nice, honey.

Food's getting cold.

Kiss to make it better.

She is a sweetheart.

That she is.

I thought you said

that this place was "nothing".

Well, my dad

built it for my mom.

With a houseful of boys and a

bunkhouse full of farm hands,

you can imagine that

she needed her own space.

Yeah. Maggie liked it

in here, too.

May I?

Yeah.

"Harvest Moon".

What's that?

It was a big party that we used to

have at the start of harvest season.

You know, when all the farmhands

would come back to town,

they probably wouldn't have seen

each other for about a year,

and my mom and dad,

they'd throw a big old shindig,

with food and drinks,

dancing.

The whole town

would pretty well show up.

It was a lot of fun...

Sounds like it.

That's Abby

being the pumpkin princess.

Yeah.

Yeah, I miss it.

Why don't you guys

do it anymore?

It just wouldn't seem right.

Not now.

Listen, I know today was rough.

We'll make sure

tomorrow's a little easier.

Don't do it on my account.

If we've got to get this

place up and running,

I need to work just as hard

as anybody else...

Including you, sir.

Yes, ma'am.

Come in!

Jen, I was figuring,

if you're going

to stick around here,

you're going need something

that'll take the wear and tear

a little better

than those "My Little Farmer"

outfits of yours,

so here.

Rosie... Thank you.

You can thank me

by taking care of yourself.

I get sore just looking at you.

How's your sunburn?

It's so much better,

thanks to this stuff

that Abby gave me.

Abby named it

"Grandma's pumpkin cream".

That's the very last of it, too.

I looked it up on the Internet,

I can't find anything on it.

You won't.

My sister

kept the recipe top-secret.

I mean,

she wrote it down someplace,

but I haven't been able

to find it since...

You know.

Do you mind me asking...

What happened?

Car accident...

Rainy night...

My sister, her husband,

and Brett's wife, Maggie.

It happened very fast.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, it was a tough thing.

It still is.

But you gotta keep going.

That's what we do around here.

Well, I think that's enough

of me pontificating.

Good night, dear.

Good night.

Sweet dreams.

Harry. Hi.

Hey. I have been

asking all over town,

but nobody seems to know.

Is there someplace that we

can get a pumpkin labeler?

A what?

You know, to label our pumpkins

with our own logo.

If we're going to create

a Jarrett brand pumpkin,

we're going to need

our own logo.

Catchy, but...

She's pretty.

What's her name?

Valerie.

Are you two, you know?

Me and her? No.

She'd never go out with me.

Well, have you asked her?

No. I couldn't do that.

Hey. Coffee?

Yes.

Hi, Harry.

Hi.

Are you going to the dance

for Mr. Jenkins this weekend?

No.

There's a dance?

Yeah.

He broke his leg,

so they're doing a fundraiser

at the community center

to help him out.

I thought maybe you were going.

Anyway, I will be back

to take your order in a sec.

Harry.

She obviously wants you

to ask her to the dance.

I can't dance.

Well, you are

going to have to learn.

Right in here is where

we plant the seedlings,

to start the crop

for next harvest.

Aw, little baby ones.

That must be

why they call it a nursery.

Must be.

OK, so what you do

is you may an impression.

OK.

Got it.

And then...

you kind of do

a little scissor grab.

OK, I think I can do this.

Scissor grab.

OK, what you wanna do is you want

to press the earth down firmly around it.

Just like this.

OK.

Yeah. Here you go.

And then you just want

to plant the rest of them.

OK.

OK.

How's my favorite

pumpkin expert?

Great, Daddy.

Just great.

We are really

getting it into shape.

How about you?

Everything OK?

Good. Good...

As well as can be expected,

I suppose.

We're working out a deal

with the creditors,

and I can see some light

at the end of the tunnel.

Don't worry, Daddy.

Once I get this place

running smoothly,

there will be buyers

lined up down the street.

You'll be back on your feet

in no time.

OK, hon.

Love you.

Love you.

Hey! Brett.

I think she's starting to

get the hang of it around here.

Yeah!

Yeah, she sure is.

Yeah!

It's got to be here somewhere.

What if it's not

a written recipe?

What if the skin cream is just something

that she remembered how to make?

No, she definitely

wrote it down.

She used to say

she kept the recipe

in a place close to her heart.

If we find

Grandma's secret recipe,

do I get to be a princess again?

Abby...

You get to be the princess

all you want...

You clever girl!

- This is it!

- Yes!

This is it!

You takin' over

for Rosie now, too?

Lou! You are just the person

I wanted to see!

Can I steal you for a minute?

OK.

OK...

There we go.

How is this feeling?

It's nice.

Yeah, yeah.

It's nice.

It's tingly.

Really tingly.

Ooh...

Ooh, good?

Ooh, bad.

No good?

Yeah, no good.

OK. OK. Sorry.

OK, sorry.

Too much lemon.

Maybe it's just too late

to help somebody like me.

No, no.

It is never too late.

We're going to start over

and try again.

OK.

Yeah? Less lemon.

Say no to lemon.

It looks good.

Got her up and running.

Atta boy.

Yeah, but for how long's

anybody's guess.

Hey, you see that wife of mine

around anyplace?

Right here, ya old fool.

There you are.

Notice anything different

about me?

You s-smell like pumpkins.

That's it?

What do you want from me?

OK, Jen, you're on fence

inspection duty this afternoon.

Not the horses again?

Well, that depends.

Do you know

how to drive a stick?

Absolutely.

My daddy once bought me

the most adorable little vintage

Aston Martin one summer.

This is a little different,

though, right?

Got this, you see,

has two sticks.

OK, you guys,

I'm not completely helpless, you know?

If I can manage the traffic on

Pacific Coast highway in the summer,

I think I can

figure out a tractor.

OK?

All right.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah.

Here we go.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry!

Jen!

Sorry!

You all right?

I'm OK, I'm OK.

I just... I feel like...

A complete...

idiot.

What were you thinking,

letting her drive this thing?

She said she knew how.

No, it was not his fault.

Do not blame him.

No, you know what?

No, it's my fault.

It's my fault for agreeing to

this whole deal in the first place.

Why don't you

go back to the house

and pack up your 300 suitcases,

and go back to the city...

Because that's where you belong.

Don't worry about him, hon'.

Men are like that sometimes.

They've got to

blow off steam, I guess.

I'm not...

I'm not upset

about him. I just...

I ruined your beautiful flowers.

Don't worry about that.

There are plenty more

where those came from.

Come on.

I'll show you.

You're going to like this.

Yeah.

Maggie, that's...

that was Brett's wife,

She loved her violets.

They're so beautiful...

They're her

very own variety, too.

She kept cross-pollinating

different types

until she got just

the right color and fragrance.

Do you guys sell a lot of them?

Oh, no. No. We've never

sold a single one.

What do you mean?

I saw them at Dot's Cafe.

No, no.

Brett won't sell them.

He gives them away...

to keep Maggie's memory alive.

So what was that all about?

What was what all about?

You know what I'm talking about.

Jen and the tractor.

It was an accident.

You didn't have to go

all ballistic about it.

Yeah, well,

she could've wrecked the place.

She could've hurt herself.

Or worse.

You've been talking a lot about

getting rid of her for the farm's sake.

Yup. That's right.

You sure this isn't all

about something else?

Like what?

Like maybe she's bringing back

some bad memories for you.

You know what?

Why don't I just leave

the two of you alone then?

What?

The two of you.

You can dance all you want.

Forever.

I think you got company.

Hey, I need to talk to you.

You're still here?

I thought

you were selling the place.

Brett and I are...

kind of working together.

I'll take a latte.

Decaf, non-fat, please.

I'll get right on that.

She really doesn't like me,

does she?

Nah. You're just from out

of town and she's a local.

That's all.

And look, if this is

about yesterday,

I am sorry.

I was out of line.

No. It's about these.

I've been doing some research

and violets are

a seriously lucrative cash crop.

People love them

and you have an entire

greenhouse full of them.

No. But it's all

about the branding.

If we started marketing these

as the Jarrett Violet,

that would give the farm another

identifiable revenue stream,

which could help me

sell the property...

What part of "no"

don't you understand?

The violets are not for sale.

OK.

Brett, I understand

what they mean to you...

No. I don't think that you do.

Hannah, can you cancel

my order, please?

I've lost my appetite.

Hi, Jen.

We're making some pies.

Jennifer doesn't do pies, dear.

You know what?

I want pie.

I'm trying to help,

but he's not helping back.

It's like he deliberately

wants us to fail or something.

I don't... I don't understand.

Well, sometimes,

people get stuck in life,

and all they really need

is just a little... Push.

Yeah, well, I'd like

to push him off that swing.

Jen, I need to talk to you.

Not right now, Harry.

I'm a little busy.

What are you doing?

Something that should've

been done a long time ago.

Hi, Daddy!

Hey.

You look good on that.

What's this?

Did you fix that?

No, Jen did it.

Jen?

You know where Jen is?

I don't know exactly.

But if you asked,

I was supposed to say

she was making sure that

nobody ate your bottom line.

All right, kiddo.

Whoa.

That's nice work, miss Stone.

I was also impressed

with the porch swing.

Thank you.

At least I can do

something right around here.

I wanted to say that I'm sorry.

I've been acting like a jerk.

Yeah. Kinda.

Look, the thing is...

All right, the thing

is I should just be happy

that you're making

my brother happy.

What?

Yeah, he's shy around girls

and it's nice that you've taken

an interest in him, so...

You think... me and Harry?

Well, yeah, I saw you two

dancing in the barn.

I wasn't gonna

say anything, but...

No, I was teaching him

how to dance.

He wants to ask Valerie

to the Jenkins' fundraiser

at the community center.

He was embarrassed,

so I decided to help him out.

You thought Harry and I...

Yeah...

OK. Well, now I feel

like a real jerk.

It's gonna rain soon.

Great.

Soon.

Why don't you

leave that stuff here?

Come on.

Grab the horn if you like. OK.

OK. Can I hold you?

Sure.

Whoa. Whoa.

OK.

OK?

I'm on it.

Nice and easy.

OK.

Here we go.

Here comes the rain.

Yeah, I used to love the rain.

It always meant

things were gonna grow.

You know,

you're allowed to move on.

Yeah, I know.

I just don't know if I can.

Sometimes, it helps...

if you don't have to

do it alone.

Yeah. I think you're right.

You still up?

Yeah, I couldn't sleep.

Pudding.

I think, I think Jen made this.

You know, I'm starting to think

that I misjudged this whole situation.

What do you mean?

This is really good!

It is good.

I don't know, I just think

maybe things have been the

same around here for too long?

Maybe.

I was thinking, OK,

what if we can turn this place around,

make a profit?

Maybe we could hire

some more full-timers.

Yeah. I could use the help.

No. Not just to help you.

To replace you.

Where am I going?

School, maybe?

The rest of the world?

I don't know.

Look, I just want you to know

you've got a choice, all right?

You know, just because Jarretts

have been on this property forever

doesn't mean

they've gotta be here forever.

It's Jen, isn't it?

She's having an effect on you.

All of us.

All right, don't hog that.

Come on.

Did she really make that?

I think... I mean, who else?

Good morning!

Good morning.

Yes, let the bank know

that we will have

the updated financials

in a few weeks.

Well, we have

several new revenue streams

that we are very excited about,

including a rare flower that is

exclusive to the Jarrett farm.

Yeah. OK, thank you. Bye.

Where's the jar

that was in here?

I don't know, dear.

It was there last night.

I had no idea that

grandma's pumpkin cream

was going to be

so popular around here.

Lou! What's up?

Well...

See, the thing is,

We've got this dance

for Fred Jenkins.

And Phil thinks we oughta go.

That will be

so much fun for you guys!

Yeah.

I just wondered if maybe you had

some more of that pumpkin jelly?

Maybe you could give me a hand?

I would love to, Lou.

I'm gonna give you the works.

Come on.

Oh, one more thing...

I hope you don't mind,

but I brought a few friends with me.

All right, we're done.

How does that feel?

Oh, my.

How was it?

That felt heavenly.

Yay!

OK, next?

You look amazing!

I hope you don't mind,

especially after

the way I was to you,

but city girls and country girls

don't always mix.

Well, in here, we're just girls.

All right.

Have you ever had a facial?

No, I haven't.

No. OK.

So, step number one...

Clean your face.

OK.

You want it all gone.

This is fun.

Beautiful!

Thank you.

Harvest Moon.

Fullest moon of the year.

Used to remind the farmers it

was time to bring in the crops.

It's so beautiful.

'Course now we've got all this

scientific stuff to help us do that,

but I don't know,

I kind of like the tradition.

A little something

I can pass on to Abby.

You're doing

a wonderful job with her.

I bet it's not always easy.

Well, you know,

when it happened,

my life...

our lives changed forever.

I never thought I'd let myself

feel anything ever again.

I think

that's how my dad felt...

when my mom died.

Maybe that's why

he spoiled me here and there,

to make up for it.

But he kept going, you know?

Because I needed him to.

Like you're doing for Abby.

Well, there are some days

that I could use some help.

Rosie's wonderful.

I wasn't talking about Rosie.

I'll get it!

Know where a girl can find

a pumpkin around here?

Brooke! You made it!

OK, what is that horrible smell?

That'd be nature.

Brooke, this is Brett Jarrett...

The one I was

telling you about. Hi.

My, they grow them

big around here.

Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.

Yeah.

I'll take that upstairs for you.

Thank you!

I just have

a couple more in the car,

if you don't mind. Please?

- I'll see you downstairs.

- Yep.

It was nice meeting you, Brooke.

Likewise.

So... what do you think?

Of the man or the room?

Both.

I'm serious, though.

OK, look,

Jen, this is all very...

charming, but let's be honest,

you're a city girl.

I'm not so sure

about that anymore.

You can't tell me

you don't miss civilization.

Flush toilets.

Electric lights.

The wheel.

It's not that bad.

And besides,

country life has its perks.-

For example,

I have been dying

to share this with you.

It's skin cream.

Brett's mom used to make it

out of the pumpkins

that they grow here.

How inventive.

Try it.

It's amazing.

And that little jar

would be a fortune

back in the city.

All right, OK,

so the condiments are cheaper.

But what about the culture?

What about the nightlife?

I am so glad you asked.

I didn't know it was

going to be a costume party.

It's nice.

I mean, look at everyone

from the community,

coming together

to help out one of their own.

This kind of thing

would never happen in L.A.

It'd happen...

Only everybody would be wearing

black And ignoring each other.

Evenin', ladies.

Good evening.

Ma'am, may I have

this first dance?

Do you mind?

Go! Go!

Thank you!

Yeah, go ahead.

OK.

Come on, man.

You can do this.

So? Are you ever

going to ask me to dance?

Yes.

You did so good!

Yeah, I don't know

what's keeping her.

It's just like a woman, right?

Geez, Louise!

Is that you?

You don't like it?

Would you...

do me the honor of this dance?

Yes, of course, Phil.

Come on. Let's go.

I've gotta warn ya.

Since the last time I danced...

it's... it's been a while.

Dancing with a city girl,

Mr. Jarrett.

People are going to talk.

Let 'em talk.

OK, the first time

I met her was in the diner.

She owns my cousin's farm,

but she came up from the city

to sell it.

But Harry told me

Brett's been messin' with her

and giving her all sorts

of really hard, fake jobs,

hoping that she'll quit, and they'll be

able to buy back the farm for nothing.

But I feel bad about it because

I'm really starting to like her.

Can I talk to you?

Right now?

Yeah, right now.

Yeah, sure.

I'll grab us some punch.

So, you and Valerie, huh?

Can you believe it?

Yeah, with those dance moves...

Yeah, he is.

No, that's not true. That...

That can't be true.

What's not true?

Brooke just told me

how she overheard your cousin

talking about

what you've been doing.

Have you really been trying

to cheat me out of the farm?

No, it's not like that.

OK... How was it, then?

Tell me.

Well, maybe in the beginning,

but, I mean, not now.

Good night.

I told you I didn't like

these people.

We're going

to get you back to the city,

where you know

you can't trust anyone.

Why are you leaving, Jen?

Go back to bed, Abby, OK?

Are you mad at me?

No.

No, of course, I'm not.

Is it my daddy?

Your daddy... is a good guy.

He's a really good guy.

Sometimes, grown-ups do

just dumb things.

All of us.

Then I don't think

I ever want to grow up.

I made this for you.

Abby...

I wish you didn't have to go.

She's not the only one.

You go on

back to bed now, honey.

I'll come tuck you in.

Goodbye, Jen.

Are you sure

you want to do this?

I have to.

Well, at least talk to Brett

before you go,

give him a chance to explain.

Can I ask you something, Rosie?

Did you know?

It's OK.

You don't have to say anything.

Thank you anyway.

OK.

Look, there's probably nothing

I can say to make this right.

But I need you to understand

that I didn't do this to hurt you.

When it started, it seemed like

the only thing I could do.

Then you became part of us.

You became part of our lives.

By the time I realized that,

I was too stubborn to own it.

And for that, I am deeply sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I just...

I need some time.

You know,

to figure all this out.

Sometimes, they say it's easier

if you don't

have to do it alone.

That's the bank's final offer.

It's certainly not as much

as we were hoping for...

No.

But it's a start.

OK, here we go.

Don't sign it! Don't sign it!

Don't sign it.

Don't sign it!

OK.

Brooke, what're you doing?

Saving you from making the

biggest mistake of your life.

Brooke, what are you

talking about?

This cream of yours.

I tried it.

You were right, it's amazing.

So I had a guy in the

cosmetics lab at my company

try to figure out

the ingredients.

There is something in

the earth at your farm,

some special mineral

or something

that must get into the pumpkins.

That's what

makes this stuff work.

The thing is,

we can't figure out why,

but it doesn't work

anywhere else

except at your farm.

My farm.

Exactly.

The CEO of my company

wants the formula

and the copyright,

and is willing to pay.

How much?

Whoa.

That much.

So, where's

grandma's secret recipe?

Good evening, everyone!

Welcome!

On behalf of

Jarrett Farms Incorporated,

we would like to thank you

for coming to the launch

of our new Harvest Moon

health and beauty line.

As most of you know,

we've worked very hard

on these products

for over a year now,

and I would just like to

take a moment to acknowledge

some of the people that are

responsible for all of it happening.

First, my very good friend,

Brooke Schrafft,

and Vice President of Marketing.

My Management Directors,

Lou and Phil.

Our Vice President

of Production, Aunt Rosie.

And to our Superintendent

of Technical Services,

who I'm sad to say will be

leaving us for greener pastures...

but I'm happy to say

that it will be

on full musical scholarship.

Harry Jarrett.

And now I'd like

to introduce to you all

someone who is very,

very important in my life.

He has showed me that courage,

even in the hard times,

is the most valuable thing

that you can give your child.

Even more valuable

than a trust fund...

My father, William Stone.

And now,

last but definitely not least,

I would like to thank

a very special man.

Over the last year,

he has helped me discover

strengths within myself

that I never knew existed.

He has taught me

that the most important thing

that you can do in your life

is to mend a fence.

And he has made me believe

that inside every city girl,

there's just a little bit

of country aching to get out.

My co-CEO and my best friend,

Brett Jarrett.

Come on!

And now, in honor

of the Harvest Moon festival,

I'd like to announce

that we are bringing back

an old tradition,

one that I hope

you all will enjoy with us

for many more years to come,

the coronation

of the Pumpkin Princess!

Happy Harvest Moon festival,

everybody!

Have fun!

Come on!

So last year,

you broke your knee,

and now this year, your wrist?

It seems like the Harvest

Moon festival is a hit.

Yeah.

You know, I think deep down,

people really like traditions.

You know,

speaking of tradition...

there's an old one in my family.

When you find

someone that you love...

You ask them to marry you...

I really like that tradition.
