Bonanza (1959–1973): Season 12, Episode 14 - For a Young Lady - full transcript

The following program

is brought to you
in living color on NBC.

Grandpa! There's two men coming!

You gonna shoot 'em, Grandpa?

Hush up, girl. Just stay down.

Who do you reckon they are?

It don't matter, they're on our land.

Now, you just keep quiet
and stay down.

I said stay down.

I got the kid right in my sights.

You'd better drop that gun.



What are you doing here?

We're just riding fence
for the Ponderosa.

Oh, you work
for them Cartwrights, huh?

That's right. I'm Joe Cartwright.

I don't care what you call yourself.

A sidewinder can go
by a dozen different names.

He don't look like
a sidewinder, Grandpa.

Carrie, claim jumpers are just people,
and all people look different.

Clai... You know, you got a lot of nerve
calling me a claim jumper.

You're on our property.

You're on my claim, and I want
to know what you're doing here!

Well, I just told you,
we're riding fence!

If you don't believe me,
go look at the pack mule.

All we've got is hammers,
nails, and some wire.



We ain't got anything to mine with.

Carrie, here. Keep your eye on 'em.

I'm gonna take a look
at that pack animal.

He's a nice old guy, isn't he?

Now, don't you try anything!

Oh, don't worry, honey,
you can put that gun down.

We're not gonna do anything.

I'm not alone, you know.

My friend Xander is right behind you,
and he's bigger than you,

and a head taller!
So don't you try nothing.

All right, mister.

You can get your horses
and get outta here,

and stay out of here.

And tell all your friends
to stay out of here, too!

Yes, sir. Uh, would you...

Would you mind
giving me my gun back?

I got it in your pack.

Now, you keep it there
'til you get out of here.

Now, get!

- Thank you.
- Nice seeing you.

Let's get back to the cabin.
Time to eat.

Lucky pair, those two.

Why, they could have gotten
themselves killed

riding across
other people's claims like that.

I kind of liked the big one, though.

He was kind of gentle,
know what I mean?

I bet that old guy's got
a lot of friends, you know?

Yeah.

Let's take a look.

Grandpa. Grandpa!

All right, girl.

It's all right.

Is there anyplace we can take him?

Um, our cabin... just over the hill.

Give me a hand with him, Jamie.

Take it easy.
You're gonna be all right.

- I'll take care of that.
- Oh, quit fussin'.

Now, if you really want to help,

there's a bottle
of good Irish whiskey

in the corner back there.

All right, take it easy.
I'll get you some.

It's gonna take
a lot more than good whiskey

to get you feeling better.

You got a wagon around here?

No. Just a mule.

I'll have to go back to the ranch,
pick up a wagon.

You ain't taking me off this place.

Yeah, when I bring the doctor out here,
why don't we let him decide?

That's his job, huh?

Drink that down, you'll feel better.

There you go.

You two watch him while I'm gone?

Don't worry, I can handle it.

Well, just keep him comfortable

and make sure
he doesn't get out of that bed.

- Okay.
- I'll be back as soon as I can.

Do you think it will take him long?

Um, yeah, it's a good way
to Virginia City.

I know, but I...
I mean, he sits a horse so well,

- I thought maybe...
- Yeah, yeah.

He's faster than most.

He's, uh, never had any trouble
keeping up with me.

It's awful nice what you did...

Especially after
the way Grandpa treated him.

Yeah, well, we, uh...

Both came
when we heard the shooting.

Well, it could be a while
before Joe gets back.

Best we see after your grandpa
in shifts.

That's a good idea.

Yeah, well, you go on
and do your chores.

I... I can look after him first.

No, he's my grandpa.

Besides, I can do it
just as good as you can.

All right.
Well, what if there's trouble?

Is that make-believe friend
of yours a doctor too?

What?

Oh, that what's-his-name
you tried to trick us with.

Don't you say anything about Xander!

Oh, come on, Carrie.

I mean, that's just
a bunch of silly girl stuff,

and I'm not taking orders from a girl.

That is, if that's what you really are.

What do you mean?

Well... I mean, you're not
like any girl I ever saw.

Don't you ever wear a dress?

You do what you want.

Carrie, I didn't mean...

I don't care what you meant.

Hey, Clara, do you have
any idea where Doc Wayne is?

Well, yes, he rode out
about a half hour ago

to the Willis place.

- Oh.
- Why, what's the matter?

An old man named Sturgis
fell down a hill,

hurt himself pretty bad.

Sturgis?

Does he have a granddaughter
name of Carrie?

Yeah, you know 'em?

I met 'em a couple of weeks ago

when they came through town
and picked up supplies.

Say, while you go to find the doc,

I'd best drive out there
and see if I can lend a hand.

Hey, that would be great.

I'll see you out there. Thank you!

Ho.

Sturgis!

I wonder where the old fool is.

I don't know.

Normally he's up and about
by this time.

That's right.

- What...
- Oh, hello, Mr. and Mrs. Owens.

Ain't you that boy that works
over to the Cartwright's?

Um, Jamie, ma'am.

What are you doing here, boy?

It's Mr. Sturgis. He fell.

Aunt Vella, Uncle Gifford,

what are you doing here?

We came to see Buford.

Did you come to help him?

He's hurt bad.

As a matter of fact, we, uh...

We did come to help, yes.

Gifford.

Well, let's take a look at him.

I think it would be best
if you two stay right here.

Just a couple of busted ribs.

I'll mend. Always have.

Ah, this is a might
more serious than that, Buford.

You always did look
on the dark side of things, Gifford.

What about Carrie?

What about her?

Well, who's gonna take care
of that girl?

I am. Always have.

You know, Buford, I think maybe
we'd better take that girl with us.

You're right, Vella.

About time that girl
had a decent home.

Now, you two just hold on...

Now, now, now, Buford.

Now, you're bad hurt,

and since we're her only kin,
it's our duty.

I always managed
to take care of her before.

Well, you can't now,
the way you're busted up.

She's coming home with us,
and there's an end to it.

Grandpa, what is it?

Your Aunt Vella thinks
that it would maybe be better

if you stayed with them
'til I got on my feet again.

Just got to give him a chance
to get his diggings going again.

But Grandpa, I don't want to go.

I want to stay with you,
and take care of you, always.

You all wait outside.
I want to talk to Carrie.

Now, get!

Now, now, now.

Here, here.

I know you don't want to go
with them, Carrie,

and I don't really want you
to go with them either,

but I... I'm sick.

But Grandpa,
you've been sick before,

and I always took care of you.

When I was sick,
you took care of me.

That's right, but this time,
it's different.

You aren't gonna die,
are you, Grandpa?

Of course not.

Why, I said I was gonna take you
to San Francisco, didn't I?

To look at the ocean
and see the sights,

ain't that what I told you?

Well, I... I never lied to you, have I?

Well, I ain't about to begin.

And... And you said
you was gonna take me to Oregon,

where all the trees are.

And to Washington, where it rains...

and where there's snow
on the mountains all year 'round.

Oh, Grandpa!
I don't want to leave you.

Come now, Carrie.
Here... Here, now.

I know what I said.

And now, I want you to stop
worrying about me dying.

I got too many promises to keep.

So, you just go along
with Aunt Vella and Uncle Gifford.

But I don't like 'em, Grandpa.

Now, that's no way
to talk about family.

But that's the way
you always talk about 'em, Grandpa.

Well, yeah, but, uh,
well... That's different.

I know them better than you do.

Now, they're...
They're still family, Carrie,

and, well, you're just gonna
have to make the best of it...

Just for a little while.

That right?

Now, give me a kiss.

Now go out there and tell 'em
to come back in.

Now, get!

Grandpa says come back in.

- Carrie?
- Yes, Grandpa?

I'm gonna let Carrie go along
with you for now, Vella.

Good.

Just 'til I'm on my feet again.

Come along, child.

Gifford.

Gifford, I want a word with you.

Be right with you, Vella.

Vella?

If he gets better,
we'll just bring her back, that's all.

But I don't think
he is gonna get better.

He looks like he's hurt real bad.

You say Carrie went
with the Owens'?

Well, she didn't exactly go,
they just took her.

Uh, Mr. Sturgis, this food will be ready
in just a minute.

All I want is for you
to get out of my house and off my land.

- Is that bread sliced?
- Yes, ma'am.

- Get out of my...
- Mr. Sturgis, please!

You're gonna hurt yourself!

Oh. Oh!

Now, Mr. Sturgis,
you get right back in that bed.

Ain't nobody telling me
what to do in my own house.

Come on, Mr. Sturgis.

What's he doing out of bed?

We tried to get him to stay in,
but he just wouldn't listen.

- There you go.
- Oh!

Let the doctor take care of you now.

I... I could sure use
a sip of that whiskey.

What about it, Doc? Okay.

Hey, where's Carrie?

The Owens' came and took her.

From what I gather,
she didn't want to go with them.

Well, from what I've seen
of the Owens, I don't blame her.

Joe...

You were right about his ribs.

No telling about his insides, though.

How bad do you think it is?

I think we ought
to move him to my office.

Let's go make a bed in the wagon.

Yes, ma'am.

There ain't no use talking.

I told him like I told you,
you ain't stealing my claim.

I'm staying right here.

Now, look, you could work
that claim for the next 100 years,

and all you'd ever get out
of that thing was beans and bread.

- How do you know?
- Look, it is on our property.

That mine has been worked out
for years.

Mm, well, beans and bread
may not mean much

to you, young fella,
but there comes a time

when a man searches
long enough, you...

You don't shame it.

Come on...

take a sip of this,
it'll make you feel better.

Oh, yeah.

You see, Buford,
the doc has got to get you into town

so he can take care
of you proper like.

You know, you want to get better,
don't you, so you can work the mine?

All right, now you don't
have to worry about it.

We'll make out a paper if you want.

The paper will say that
I'll take care of it for you

and protect it
so nobody steals it from you.

Would that be legal, Doc?

If it has your signature.

Well, all right.

But don't you try to pull any fast ones.

I can still use that shotgun.

Oh, I'll bet you can.
You don't have to worry.

I wouldn't try to put anything
over on you.

That's it.

Here, let me see that.

Mm-hmm, very well.

There you are, see what you can do
if you set your mind to it, huh?

Now, you go see
how fast you can, uh,

get my wood box filled.

Aunt Vella, I...

Now, now, now,
don't you "Aunt Vella" me.

We don't hire hands
around here, you know.

You eat, you work.

Now, go on. Go on.

Do as I say.

Oh, is Grandpa all right?

Oh, he's... He's fine, isn't he, Joe?

As a matter of fact,
Doc took him into town today.

We'll take better care of him there.

Carrie?

I've got to get this inside.

Oh, here, here, let me help you.

You've sure become
the instant gentleman, haven't you?

'Cause I'm used to
this kind of stuff, you know.

That's a cute little niece
you've got there.

Mr. Cartwright,
I can't teach her responsibility

if you two do her work for her.

Oh, Jamie was just giving her
a little hand with the wood, that's all.

Hmm.

It's possible that you Cartwrights
may not realize it,

but this is a hard country
and a hard life.

And the sooner
a woman braces herself

to stand up to it,
a better wife she'll be.

Yes, ma'am.

Now, what is it that you want?

Aunt Vella, Jamie said they've
come to take me to see Grandpa.

- Can I go?
- No, you can't.

And I'll hear no more about it.

Mrs. Owens, she'll only be gone
a little while.

We'll bring her right back.

She's my responsibility,
Mr. Cartwright, not yours.

Please, Aunt Vella,
I'll do whatever you tell me.

Just let me go with them.

Good day, Mr. Cartwright.

Carrie, we'll, uh...

we'll let you know how
your grandfather's making out.

And I'm sure your aunt
will let you go see him real soon.

Good day, ma'am.

Bye, Carrie.

Now, don't forget
about the wood.

I don't care about your ol' wood!

I want to see my grandpa!

Don't you rile me, child.

There's ways to handle
that temper of yours.

I will see him!
You can't watch me all the time.

You'll see... You can't keep me here.

We will just see about that.

Let go. Let me go!

- Ow, you're hurting me.
- Good!

Good, then maybe you will just
come along quietly, right?

- Ow!
- Ah!

Please don't leave me in here!

I'm scared.

Good! Maybe a night or two in there
will take some of the fight out of you.

I'll be good, Aunt Vella!

Please, Aunt Vella, please!

Aunt Vella! Please.

I'll be good, Aunt Vella.
Just let me out.

Aunt Vella, please.

- Doc, how are you?
- Joe.

- Hi, Doc.
- Jamie.

Uh, how's Mr. Sturgis?

The trip took a lot out of him,
but at least he's resting.

Anything we can do to help?

Not unless you can dissolve 20 years,

turn his old bones into young ones.

I just meant,
if there's anything he needed.

I... I know what you meant.

I'm sorry.

He wants to live,
for that granddaughter of his.

- Carrie.
- Yeah.

He keeps calling her name.

Well... Mrs. Owens
wouldn't let her come.

The Owens'.

They're a hard pair, those two.

Well, we'd better get going.

Doc, let me know
if there's any change, will you?

Yeah.

- Bye, Doc.
- Yeah.

Joe... I think I'll just ride on back
and talk to Carrie, all right?

Yeah. Be sure you're home
before dark, yeah?

- Don't worry, I'll be there.
- Take it easy.

Hold it, boy!

Hold it right there.

Where do you think you're going?

I, uh... Came by to talk to Carrie.

Yeah, well, what's she got
to say to you?

Nothing.

I just wanted to tell her that
her grandpa is doing fine.

I'll tell her for you.

You'd better get back to your own.

Now get, boy!

Well, do you mind
if I water my horse?

Well, hurry up and then get.

Who's in there?

Jamie?

- Carrie, is that you?
- Yes.

What are you doing in there?

After you and Joe left,
she locked me in here.

Well, I'm gonna unlock you.

Be careful, Jamie.

Carrie, it's padlocked.

Where's Joe?
He'll know what to do.

Uh, I'll think of something.

What are you doing out there, boy?

I... I was just fixing to leave, sir.

Carrie, I'm back.

What are you gonna do?

Just be ready.
They can see us from the house.

Okay, come on!

- Oh...
- Carrie, come on.

I'm sorry, I just can't run.

- I'm sorry.
- Girls.

Come on, lean on me.

What's the matter you?

Nobody tell Hop Sing
nobody be here to eat his food.

Hop Sing know
he just make you a cold sandwich.

Oh, come on, Hop Sing, wait now.

Hoss told you
he wouldn't be home for supper.

- He did?
- Sure he did, I heard him.

So did I. Don't you remember?

Hop Sing no time to remember.

Too busy cooking food
for people who not show!

I'm gonna have to learn Chinese.

I know what you mean.

What time did you say
Jamie left Virginia City?

Well, he left before I did.

He should have been home
a long time ago.

Well... Maybe the Owens'
invited him to supper.

I doubt that. They don't seem to be

the type of folks
to invite anybody to supper.

- Here, here, here.
- What happened?

When I got to the Owens',
Mrs. Owens got mad at her

and locked her in a storage room.

I couldn't just leave her there.

Is she all right?

Yeah, just a little tired.

That's why it took us
so long to get here.

I mean, if I would have
ridden any faster,

she would have fallen off the horse.

I'm sorry, Mr. Cartwright.

Oh, that's all right, Jamie.

She's asleep.
We'd better get her into bed.

- Here, I'll do it.
- Thank you.

- Come on, honey.
- No... Go back.

No, that's all right,
sweetheart.

You don't have to go back.

Not as long as I'm around.

Come in.

Don't worry, I won't look.

- The water warm enough?
- Yeah.

Was it your idea I get a bath?

Yes, it's an old family custom.

I brought you some clothes.
They're gonna be

a little bit too big for you.
They're Jamie's.

But they'll do 'til we get you
something a little bit better.

Joe, would you like me better
if I wore a dress?

No, I don't think so.

Clothes don't make the lady.

Jamie thinks it does.

Oh? Did he say that?

Well, not exactly,
but he said some other things.

Oh, like what?

Well, you don't think it's silly
'cause I talk to Xander, do you?

Oh, that was the, uh...

The friend you had with you
when we met.

No, I don't think it's silly.

Sometimes we all
need a friend like Xander,

even if we have to make him up.

If you can keep a little secret,

I had a make-believe friend
just like Xander

- when I was young.
- You're not so old now.

Well, we're all gonna be
a whole lot older

if you two don't hurry up
and get down to breakfast.

Yes, sir.

We'll see you downstairs, then.

You thought of what happens now?

Yeah, I thought I'd go over
and talk to the Owens'.

I don't that would do any good.

Well, somebody
has got to do something.

We can't leave her with people
that lock her in a corn crib.

I have... I have an idea...

but I've got to go into town.

You promise not to do anything
until I get back?

Sure, I just want to see
she gets a good home, that's all.

And we'll find one.

According to Doc Wayne,
it had better be soon.

- Well, Ben Cartwright.
- Hello, Clara.

Hey, this sure is a pretty color.

How much is this?

Now, don't tell me
you came in here to buy a dress.

- Well...
- Hoss or Little Joe?

Can you see Hoss in this?

- Not quite his color.
- No!

Clara, tell me something...

Do you find it awfully lonely living
in that big house all by yourself?

Why, Ben, if I didn't know better,
I'd say that sounded like a proposal.

Yeah, I guess it does.

Well, it could be an interesting one,

if you have time
to discuss it over lunch.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

All right, let's do it, then.

Now, then...

They don't fit too good, do they?

Oh, they... they look all right.

Here.

Flower picking, what kind of work
is this for a man?

Well, I just want to take
some flowers to my grandpa...

and Joe said he'd feel better
if someone was with me.

Well, then why doesn't
he go with you?

Because flower pickin'
is no work for a man.

Come on.

Thought I'd find you here.

Yeah, well you just leave her be.

You stay out of it if you don't want
what I come to give her.

Now get on your horse
and ride out of here.

You're not taking Carrie
with you now or anytime.

Don't you be too sure, Cartwright.

The old man give her
to me 'cause she's kin.

When law hears what you done,

they're gonna see it my way,
just you wait.

I told you to get out of here.

Come on, hyah! Come on!

Boy, he can cause trouble, can't he?

I don't know.
I'm gonna have Carrie go in

and see her grandfather today, though.

I'm gonna wait 'til Pa gets back.

All right, I'll go in and tell her.

Hey, Pa.

I thought you'd be home a lot earlier.

- Is Carrie asleep?
- Yeah.

You met with Mrs. Franklin,
what did she think of your proposition?

- She loved it.
- Oh, yeah?

Yeah, she'd love to have Carrie.

She wanted to go by
and see Carrie's grandfather,

but the doctor said
he's much too sick to see anybody.

Gifford Owens paid us a visit today.

All right,
just to be sure I understand,

Gifford came to the ranch,
he frightened Jamie, Jamie ran.

Gifford tried to catch him,
you stopped that, forcibly,

and ordered Gifford off the ranch.

Joseph, I'm sure he deserved it,

but I'm afraid you may have
played right into his hands.

I don't know
what you're getting so upset about.

It was nothing I couldn't handle.

I ran him off, and that's the end of it.

It's not gonna end there.

So, what's he gonna do?

Well, he can have you
arrested for kidnapping.

- No.
- And for assault.

Look, I wasn't gonna
let him take Carrie.

Joseph, much as you hate
to admit the fact,

the Owens' are her only kin.

There's nothing you can do
to change that.

- Well, there must be some way.
- Well, there is,

of course...
Talk to her grandfather.

But until then, she's got to
go back to the Owens'.

Hup! Hup!

Whoa.

- Clem.
- Hello, Joe.

You're up pretty early in the morning
looking for trouble, Owens.

I ain't alone this time.

All right, Clem... what's this about?

Well, Mr. Owens here says
that Joe is holding a ward of his.

We agree not to press charges
if you turn the girl loose.

If you don't...

I'm sorry, Joe.

Well... I'll get the girl.

You're a lot more sociable
now that deputy's around.

My only concern
is that Carrie will be happy.

And I don't think
she will be with you.

She'll get everything she needs
as soon as I start working that mine.

The most important thing,
uh, Mr. Cartwright,

is that the girl needs
a woman's discipline.

If you call locking a little girl
in a store room motherly love.

Carrie?

Carrie!

Carrie's not in her room.

What do you mean
she's not in her room?

She didn't come down
to breakfast, she didn't...

Her bed hasn't even been slept in.

That's a trick!

They could have
hidden her anywheres!

Now, you do
what we come here for.

Joe, I'm afraid
you'll have to come with me.

Clem, you know very well that
we didn't hide her anywhere.

Ben, I have no choice.
My hands are tied.

- Well, what about Carrie?
- Well, what about her?

Joseph, Joseph...
go get your things.

We'll find Carrie. Go ahead.

You just wait for us.
We'll... I'll be right with you.

Now, Hoss, find Jamie...
And go find Carrie.

Maybe she went back to the cabin.

I'll try.

Be right with you.

Hey! Jamie!

- Have you seen Carrie?
- No.

Well, she's gone,

and the deputy is taking
Little Joe into town.

It's all my fault, Joe being in trouble.

No, it ain't your fault.
Don't worry about it.

I'm not worried.

I mean, I just did what I had to.

I couldn't just leave her locked up
in that storage room, could I?

No, you did the right thing.

I think so, too.

Well...

We've got to find her and I...

I ain't... I ain't got
no idea where to start.

Well, I think I know where she is.

Why don't you start getting
the horses ready,

and I'll go get
my gear and I'll join you, huh?

Carrie, wait.

I don't care what you do,
I'm not going back.

Carrie, Joe is in trouble
because of you.

He needs your help!

Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Jamie.

Carrie, I... I know how you feel.

I... I know you're worried
about your grandpa and all,

and people tuggin' at you

and pulling and pushing and all.

And I know it's hard for you
to understand

that somebody needs your help
as much as you need theirs.

You're just trying
to trick me into going back.

Carrie, I wouldn't...

I heard 'em, last night.

They said there's nothing
anyone can do,

that I belong to the Owens'.

I don't! I won't!

Well, I... I ain't gonna lie
to you, Carrie.

That may be the way it ends up.

But right now, you're the only one

that can keep my little brother
from going to jail.

Joe?

That's the truth, Carrie.

All because you ran away.

All right, I'll go with you.

Didn't have much trouble
finding her, did you?

Well, does that clear everything up?

Mr. Owens?

If we get the girl back,
and they mind their own business,

we won't press charges.

Is it all right if the girl
comes by the Ponderosa

and picks her things up?

We'll come get her.

Carrie'd sort of like to see
her grandpa while she's here.

I'm afraid that won't
be possible, Hoss.

The poor old man died
about an hour ago,

without regaining consciousness.

Carrie is ready to go.

- How is she?
- Well...

just sits and stares,
doesn't say anything.

This makes no sense at all.

They want Carrie to stay with them,
and yet they mistreat her so badly.

I don't think it's Carrie
they're interested in.

I think it's the mine.

The mine? Well, it's worthless.

Everybody knows that.
Surely they know it.

I don't think so.

When I was talking to Gifford
the other day,

he said something about his wife
looking after Carrie

while he worked the mine.

Mr. Cartwright, the Owens' are here.

Have them come in.

Well, Mrs. Owens,
won't you sit down, please?

Just tell Carrie we're here.

Oh, before we do,
I think we ought to talk

about Carrie for a minute.

You know she doesn't want to go
with you, and she's afraid of you.

You know, Mr. Cartwright,

children don't always know
what's best for 'em.

Ain't none
of your business, anyhow.

That's true,
Carrie is none of my business...

but the mine is.

See, it's on Ponderosa property.

But the old man said it was his.

Well, if he said it, he was wrong.

You can check it out if you like,

but it happens to be inside
the Ponderosa fence line.

He's right.

I don't think it's any big problem.

We can work the same deal
with you that we did with Buford...

you work the mine,
you get 10%, we keep 90%.

10%? We can't live on that
even without the girl.

Oh, well, you wanted to take Carrie,
that's your problem.

Well, we could have took care of her,
but without the mine...

Well, if it's, uh...

If it's too much of a burden on you,

I suppose
we could work something out,

find someone to take her in.

Yes.

Might be able to find someone
to adopt her, I don't know.

Eh, it wouldn't be fair, though.
She's your flesh and blood.

Yeah, that's right, but, uh...

If... If she'd be happier
living someplace else,

we... Don't want to stand in her way.

Gifford.

Uh, if we don't get the girl,

we ought to get 15%.

10%. Take it or leave it.

We'll take it.

Fine.

We'll meet you in the lawyer's office
tomorrow morning

and draw up the papers.

Ah, what do you think?

I think, Joseph...

you sure are your father's son.

Carrie, guess what?
We fixed it so you don't

have to go back to the Owens'!

I don't care.
Don't make any difference anymore.

- Carri...
- Go away!

I don't want to talk to you.

I don't want to talk
to anyone ever again.

I understand.

It's like that.

I just mean...

You don't have to talk to anybody
if you don't want to.

I don't.

Carrie...

There are people who care,
even though you don't think so.

They want to help you
if you'll just let 'em.

It took me a long time to find that out.

What do you mean?

I...

I guess I mean I was...

Kind of like you in the beginning.

You had someone?

My pa.

When he left me...

Well, there just...

Wasn't anyone... Worth talking to.

Not for a long time.

It's just like that.

Jamie...

It's all right, Carrie. It's all right.

It's okay.

I can't thank all of you enough.

Clara, we're the ones
that ought to be thanking you.

You and Carrie just take
good care of each other.

Carrie?

- Did a great job.
- Yeah.

Hey, all set to go, huh?

Be sure to come back
and see us, all right?

- You really mean it?
- You're darn right I do.

Then how about next Sunday?

Hey, when old Hop Sing knows
that he's got guests coming,

he always fixes something special.

I'll be there.

Bye, Hoss.

Good-bye, doll.

- Bye, Joe.
- Good-bye, honey.

Psst.

She might need the bags, you know.

I know.

There you are, young lady.

Now, you remember
what I told you...

If you ever need anything...

I've got everything I need right here.

- Bye, Jamie.
- Giddyap, Rudy!

Bye, Carrie.
