" I can't believe I'm home." " Let's get you settled." "Then I'll believe it." "[ALL LAUGH]" "I got a call from the Army this afternoon." "It seems that Tommy Satterfield has gone AWOL." "I didn't know Tommy was old enough to be in the Army." "There's only one place for him up in the hills." " I ain't going back, Mr. Walton." " Stay right where you are, boy." "You can't hide out, Tom." "They'll come get you one day." "There's not much breathing room in them prisons." "If anything happens to my boy, John Walton it'll be on your head." "Liv, I" "[SIGHS]" "I was the one who drafted him." "I sent him off, or he'd be alive today." "I hate this draft board-job, Liv." "I can't stand playing God to my neighbors' sons." "You're gonna be sorry for the day you took my boy off to die you and your local draft board." "I know how you feel, Calvin." "Drinking isn't gonna do any good and taking it out on me isn't gonna bring Tommy back." "That depends on how I do it, I'd say." "I'm going to make you a trade, Walton." "You'll be paying for the life of my son with the life of one of your own." "You hear me?" "You didn't get much sleep last night." "Since when have you been keeping count?" "Well, I heard you and Mama going to bed." "[JOHN SIGHS]" "You know, you did a lot of talking." "Well, your mama and I have a lot of catching up to do." " It sounded more like arguing." " Little pitchers have big ears." "You know, that Mr. Satterfield is like bad dreams I used to have except for he's real." "Honey, I told you last night, he was drunk and he was all upset about his son, Tommy." "I'm sure this morning he's gonna feel kind of foolish." "Maybe the boys should go away for a while." "I'm really scared." "There's no need for anybody to hide, Elizabeth." "I told you, I'll take care of it." "You stop worrying, okay?" "Elizabeth, the bathroom's free." "You'd better hurry and get ready for church." "ELIZABETH:" "Aimee and I are gonna walk together." "Good." "You've hardly seen her since she's been home." "ELIZABETH:" "That's not my fault." "She's worried about Calvin Satterfield, isn't she?" " She's taking it all too serious." " I hardly slept a wink myself last night." "I wish you'd change your mind about calling the sheriff." "Liv, we've been through all this." "I know how Calvin feels." "He's gonna work it out." "Calvin Satterfield is not a man to be taken lightly, and you know that." "It's all gonna blow over." "I'm not gonna start a shooting war." "I don't know how you can stand by and do nothing when your sons' lives may be in danger." "I'll take action if I have to take action." "For now, I'm through talking about it." "I just can't understand why they'd let a man like that run around loose." "If they locked up all backwoodsmen that got drunk and fired a gun around here they'd have to build a whole new jail." "I actually think that Old Man Satterfield had a better reason than most." "What reason?" "I am really sorry about what happened to his son but I don't see anyone else threatening anybody." "Cindy, it's like the code of the hills." "I mean, a lot of these families have been up here for centuries and they're proud and independent, and they'll settle their own differences." "It's like an eye for an eye, or if you steal my mule, I'll steal yours." "We're not talking about mules." "I was thinking, and the last honest-to-goodness feud was settled when my daddy was just a little boy." "It went on for so many generations, they don't even know how it got started." "[CHUCKLES]" "Well, how did they settle it?" "Well, all the men either died or got killed off." "[CINDY GASPS]" "Well, I'm beginning to wonder whether or not I even wanna bring up a child in this place." "At least I can hope for a girl." "ELIZABETH:" "I don't think I'd like to go away to school." "AIMEE:" "Daddy didn't want me to, but Mama insisted." "ELIZABETH:" "I don't see what's wrong with the Walton's Mountain School." "Nothing if you just wanna learn the three R's." "Mama says that private school makes a more polished person out of you." "I guess that's what's different about you." "You're more polished." "Remember that book you wrote me to read, Jane Eyre?" " Did you?" " I borrowed it from your mother." "Wouldn't you just love Mr. Rochester to come galloping through the mist toward you?" "Orson Welles plays him in the movie." "Would you like to see it?" "It opens Saturday in Rockfish." "Sure." "Though the movie never is as good as the book." "It'll be like the old days, except I don't like to sit in the front anymore." "Ha, ha." "Who does?" "[CAR APPROACHING]" "JIM-BOB:" "Anybody want a lift?" " How about it, Elizabeth?" "You agreed to walk." "AIMEE:" "I know we did, but my feet are hurting." "ELIZABETH:" "You shouldn't have worn heels." "AIMEE:" "Come on." " I'm walking." "I'm riding." "JIM-BOB:" "Sure you don't wanna change your mind, Elizabeth?" "Elizabeth told me what happened last night." "Aren't you scared?" "That crazy old man?" "He'd better not try anything with me." "But we could be in danger this very minute." "Maybe you better move over here and protect me." "Jim-Bob!" "I've never even had a date with you." "We can fix that." "How'd you like to go to the movies with me on Saturday?" "Saturday?" "Yeah." "Jane Eyre's playing." "It's supposed to be pretty good." " You got nothing better to do, do you?" " No." "No, not really." "[HYMN PLAYING ON ORGAN]" "PICKETT:" "My, oh, my, oh, my." "Now, who are these lovely ladies?" "Well, the flower of Southern womanhood I do believe." "That's the way I like to see my ladies." "You sure don't look like that Rosie the Riveter this morning." "Well, thank you, J.D." "It certainly is nice to know what the boss really does like." " Ha, ha." " Although it is hard to figure what he likes when it comes to getting an assistant manager." "Now, Erin, don't you trouble your pretty little head with working problems on your day off." "The way you look today I could hardly think of you as my right-hand man, heh, heh." "See you lovely ladies in church." ""Day off." This afternoon, I'll be doing the personnel work that I didn't have time for this week." "Flower of Southern womanhood, is it?" " Well, then that's what he will get." " What?" "[IN SOUTHERN ACCENT] Come along, Miss Scarlett, and I will explain it to you." "[ERIN CHUCKLES]" "CORABETH:" "Olivia." "It's so nice to have you in regular attendance at our little house of worship again." "Nice to see you in church, Olivia." "You too, Jason." "Thank you, Ike." "Oh, Jason, you look so nice in your uniform." "Don't you think so, Olivia?" "I guess I prefer seeing him in coveralls but I must admit, he does something for the uniform." "[CAR APPROACHING]" "Well." "Olivia don't you feel that Aimee is a bit young for Jim-Bob to be pursuing so ardently?" "From what I've heard it's not just Jim-Bob that's doing the pursuing." " I beg your pardon?" " I think you're absolutely right, Olivia." "I think Aimee has learned an awful lot of very adult ways at that fancy finishing school." "Come, Mr. Godsey." "We must join the choir." "Come along." "You go on ahead, Jason, I'll wait for Elizabeth." "Aimee was supposed to walk to church with her." " I'll save you a seat." " Okay." "I hate Aimee and I hate Jim-Bob and I hate myself and I hate the entire world." "OLIVIA:" "Oh...." "MARY ELLEN:" "No, John Curtis, hot." "[JOHN CURTIS CRYING]" "MARY ELLEN:" "John Curtis, hot." "No." "What happened?" "John Curtis won't stay away from the stove." "He's gonna have to wait for his dinner upstairs." "Mary Ellen sure is hard on that kid sometimes." "Yeah, well, if it keeps him from putting his hand on that stove maybe she's being kind." "I reckon you and Mama went through that." "Ha, ha." "With every one of you." "Maybe that's what I ought to start doing." "Don't you think you ought to get a family first?" "I got one." "The new recruits at the base." "Sergeant thinks I ought to be tougher on them stop babying them along." "I think maybe your sergeant's right, son." "[JASON SIGHS]" "I feel sorry for those guys." "They're already homesick and confused enough as it is." "Why would I wanna make things any tougher on them?" "For the same reason Mary Ellen bears down on John Curtis sometimes." "You mean being tough to be kind?" "If it saves one of your soldiers from getting shot in the head because he didn't obey orders fast enough I'd say that's being kind." "Tommy Satterfield was such a nice guy." "I wish his pa was as nice." "He needs time." "Grief can be hard to live with." "JOHN:" "Mary Ellen's right." "The more we think about last night, the worse it seems." "Let's try to forget about it." "It's Sunday, Liv is home, and thank the Lord." "Our heavenly Father, bless this food before us and all of us who are gathered here on this day of rest and worship." "Bless those who are not with us, John-Boy and Grandma." "Bless those family who are grieving for their lost loved ones." "Let the war be over soon that once again there may be peace on Earth." " Amen." "ALL:" "Amen." "Why don't you take--?" "Start that, son." "Offer your wife some first." "Thanks, Ben." "You don't have to wait for me." "Billy won't be long." "We could take you all the way to camp if you want." "Thanks anyway, but Billy would wonder what happened to me." "It was sure good seeing you, Jason." "JASON:" "It was good to be home, believe me." " You two seem to be getting along okay." " Oh, you bet." "You ought to settle down, Jason, and get married." "You just find me somebody like Cindy, I'll be hooked for sure." " You find your own, soldier." "Ha, ha." "CINDY:" "Ha, ha." "[CAR APPROACHING]" "JASON:" "Look at that guy." "He didn't even slow down for that stop sign." "Hey, watch it." "Come on, Ben, let's get out of here." "CALVIN:" "I never figured on seeing two of the Walton boys out of the coop so quick." "It was right obliging of you." "We've got no fight with you, Mr. Satterfield." "You'd better go on home." "You're acting like you're still drunk." "Don't you be telling me what to do, boy." "It's lucky for you you got your woman with you or I'd be tempted to settle things with your pa right now." "You just tell him for me I meant every word of what I said." "It won't come now but it will come." "Boy, you sure can tell there's a war on, as scarce as gas is." "I'm mighty tired of these ration stamps, I can tell you." "IKE:" "Well, it'll be over soon, as soon as they win that thing over there." "Then good old American know-how will take over, and this won't happen again." "And of course, if it does then the government will be able to handle it." "I hope you're right." "You gotta have faith in the American way, John." "Here, I'll get your change." "[ENGINE STOPS]" "JOHN:" "I figured you were drunk when you come by the house." " I can forget that because of Tommy." " I ain't asking you to forget it." "Ben told me what happened." "You stay away from my family." "This is between you and me." "If anybody's gonna have it out, we will." "It's what you might call justice." "You having to worry on your boys the way I did on Tommy never knowing when something might happen to one of them." "It's your turn to play the waiting game now, John." "Here's your change, John." "Morning, Calvin." "Stopped by to find out if there was any word on when Tommy's body's coming home." " Army said they'd let me know." " Nothing today." "It will come." "All such things do." "I'll let you know when it does." "[ENGINE STARTS]" "What did he say to you?" "He threaten you again?" "Forget it." "[ENGINE STOPS]" "He's coming." "[IN SOUTHERN ACCENT] Why, it's Mr. J.D. Pickett himself." "How nice of you to come calling, sir." "Do have a demitasse and a homemade cookie fresh from Mama's kitchen this very morning." "Everyone knows how much you admire a woman who can keep her femininity even though she is working hard to serve her country." "[DRAWER OPENS]" "[CLEARS THROAT]" "So I've decided to try and please you as a lady of charm and grace rather than an ordinary personnel manager or, for that matter, an assistant manager truly a strong man's job." "Now, Erin, you listen to me." "You" "Oh, my." "This must be today's mail." "What do you know?" "I haven't even done anything with last week's mail." "Aw, fiddle-dee-dee." "I'll just put it away for now." "[DRAWER OPENS]" "Perhaps I'll think of it tomorrow, or maybe the day after." "Oh, my." "I do hope I haven't done anything wrong." "I do hate to see a grown man cry." "John Curtis, look, here's some toast for you." "Now, don't spill your milk, okay?" " Good morning." " Good morning, honey." "Here you go, Cindy, sunny-side up, just like you ordered them." " Thanks, Mary Ellen." "MARY ELLEN:" "There she is the brand-new assistant manager of the plant." "JOHN:" "Honey, you look wonderful." "ERIN:" "Oh, thank you." "I'm trying to feel like an assistant manager." "You certainly look the part." "I'm proud of you." "Well, I do have to give Mary Ellen some credit for getting me the job." "Well, you, uh, did most of it yourself with a little help from the hoop skirt of the Baldwins'." "[ERIN CHUCKLES]" "Is everything all right, Cindy?" "You look awful pale to me." " You can have my eggs this morning." " Something wrong with them?" "They just keep staring up at me." "Oh, I don't know, all of a sudden I just feel so light-headed and queasy." "I seem to recall feeling that way from time to time and it always meant the same thing." "You think maybe congratulations are in order?" "[CHUCKLES]" "Morning sickness?" "I have morning sickness!" "Oh, we're gonna have a baby!" " Oh." "Excuse me." " Here, let me go with you." "[CINDY GROANS]" "[ALL CHEERING AND LAUGHING]" "Boy, the Allies are sure mopping up in North Africa." "Well, we should do the same in this little general-merchandise store." "Those windows are a sorry sight." "Ah." "Well, I was planning on doing them while you're at the Red Cross meeting." " I was going to ask Aimee to help me." " I'm sorry, I'm going out with Mama." "Uh, you think she's old enough for the Red Cross?" "Anyone can roll bandages." "I am eager for Aimee to take her place in society." "That way, she won't have to wash windows the rest of her life." "I'm also anxious for people to see what a finished young lady she has become." "Oh, your gloves, chérie." "Oh, I'm sorry, Maman." "I left them in church." "I must loan you a pair of mine." "A young lady never goes out in public without her gloves." "Wait here." "[DOOR OPENS AND BELL DINGS]" "Hey, Ike." "Hi, Aimee." "AIMEE:" "Hi." " Well, look who's here." "Jim-Bob." "I hear the two of you have discovered each other." "Daddy." "Well, I mean, after all, I wouldn't allow just anybody to take my daughter out." "But Jim-Bob, I've known him since he's been a pint-sized twerp in baggy pants." "Ha, ha." "Come on, Ike." "Well, you know, Corabeth wouldn't even let the prince of Wales take Aimee out." "[IKE CHUCKLES]" "Hey, did you bring by that scrap metal?" "No, but I know where there's an old junk car." "I was on my way to get parts and was wondering if you wanted to go." " Now?" "JIM-BOB:" "It's a real pretty day out there." "Daddy, would it be all right?" "Well, uh, what about the Red Cross meeting?" " And how about Mama?" " Well, I can go out with her any day." "Young lady, I don't like your attitude." "And I don't want you to disappoint her that way." "Uh, Jim-Bob, Aimee has got some other plans this afternoon." " Hi, Corabeth." " Oh, good afternoon, Jim-Bob." "Here you are, chérie." "Perhaps a bit large, but scented with pomander." "AIMEE:" "Ah." "Oh!" "Maybe we can go out some other time." "I'll see you Saturday, okay?" "AIMEE:" "Bye-bye." "JIM-BOB:" "Bye-bye." "Au revoir." "Now, you will see to the windows." "And please don't leave them all streaked the way you did the last time." "I have been washing those windows since long before you were around here." "Nobody with any manners uses toothpicks." "Aimee, you are not speak to your father in that tone of voice." "Even if it is true." "Corporal Walton, have I got this stuff on right?" "You don't have any of this gear on right, Lapinsky." "I thought you were supposed to practice putting it on over the weekend." "I didn't have time." "I was on guard duty Saturday and Sunday." "You weren't scheduled for that." "I was after Sergeant Barnes looked in my footlocker." "You didn't tell me it had to be just so." "I did tell you." "You weren't listening." "Were any of the other men put on report?" " I don't think so." " Then the rest of the outfit was listening." "Maybe you need to be yelled at, Lapinsky." " You think that would help?" "!" " Couldn't hurt." "All right, dog-face!" "Get with it!" "I'm gonna make a soldier out of you even if you end up hating me!" " Oh, I couldn't do that." " Wanna bet?" "!" "Take this gear back to your bunk and put it on right!" "Does this mean you're not gonna help me?" "I am helping you!" "More than you'll ever know!" "Now get going!" "Move it!" "On the double!" "[ENGINE SPUTTERING]" "[ENGINE CONTINUES SPUTTERING]" "[ENGINE STARTS]" "JOHN:" "Ep and me are going up to the mountain." "Until we get this thing settled I don't want you two wandering off the beaten path." "I'd like to go up to Satterfield's place myself, with a loaded shotgun." "I told you, Ben, we're not gonna handle it like that." "Just because Cal got the idea to take the law in his own hands don't give you leave to do the same." " You sit tight, both of you." " Okay, Daddy." "[ENGINE STARTS]" " You sure were lucky, Jim-Bob." " Yeah, I was scared to death." "I'll bet." "ELIZABETH:" "Breakfast is ready!" " I'll help you after breakfast, Jim-Bob." " Okay, thanks, Ben." " Yeah." " That was close, wasn't it?" "JIM-BOB:" "Yeah, it sure was." "You know, Jim-Bob I've been thinking horrible things about you all week." "Yeah, I noticed you've been kind of unfriendly." "What did I do?" "Aimee was supposed to go to the movies with me." " She didn't tell me that." " I know." "JIM-BOB:" "Why didn't you say something to her?" "Well, when you're feeling hurt and left out you don't wanna go telling a bunch of people." "Anyway, I'm glad you didn't get hurt." "Elizabeth, what happened yesterday wasn't your fault." "I know." "Just like it isn't your fault that Aimee likes you more than she likes me." "Do you wanna eat?" "[ENGINE STOPS]" "I'll do the talking, John." "Let's keep it legal." "JOHN:" "That's why I brought you along, Ep." "Morning, Mrs. Satterfield." "Uh, is Cal around?" "He's over in the meadow by the lake digging our Tommy's grave." "We're sorry to hear about Tommy." "Come on, John." "Morning, Cal." "You got a minute?" "Cal, yesterday somebody took a shot at one of John's boys." " And they came awful close." " Too close to be an accident." "Calvin, this thing has gone too far." "This used to be Tommy's favorite spot on the whole mountain." "Never thought I'd be burying him here." "EP:" "Well, Cal, now you gotta remember John was serving on a legally formed draft board." "He's not to be held responsible for your boy's death." "He was acting for the people of the United States." "Did I say I was blaming John?" "Did you hear me say that, sheriff?" "No, but you made some threats when your boy was killed." " Well, so he says." " I got no reason to lie." "Sheriff, I've been living on this mountain a long time." " You ever known me to make trouble?" " Before now, no." "John's boy say he saw someone shooting at him?" " He didn't feel like sticking around." " Well, then you got no proof." "It's Satterfield word against Walton word." "He's right, John." "I should've known this was a waste of time." "I bring the law out here to try to talk sense into you." " I should've come alone." " You're right, John Walton." "Best way to settle anything." "Man to man." "Now, just hold it right there." "Now, listen to me, both of you." "Maybe my hands are tied now, but that doesn't mean I can't come down hard if I hear either one of you have taken the law into your own hands." "Do you understand me, Cal?" " I understand." "EP:" "John?" "All right." "Now, if anything happens to one of John's boys, I'm coming after you, Cal." "Be a little late, won't it, Ep?" "JASON:" "Hup, two, three, four." "Hup, two, three, four." "Over here, Walton." "JASON:" "To the rear, hup." "Hup, two, three, four." "By the right flank, ho." "Hup, two, three, four." "Detail halt." "Order arms." "BARNES:" "I suppose you think you've drilled some sense into these empty-headed sad sacks." "I've been trying, sergeant." "They've been working hard." " Well, it's paid off." " I don't understand." "We're forming a new platoon when we go on bivouac." "These men are out of the awkward squad." "You'll be in charge, Sergeant Walton." " Hey." " Knock it off." "Wipe that silly grin off your face." "You're supposed to be at attention." "Thank you, sergeant." "We'll do our best." "You know, Walton, I think you will." "All of you." "Carry on, sergeant." "JASON:" "About, ho." "Right shoulder, ho." "Forward, ho." "Hup, two, three, four." "Hup, two, three, four." "I'm going down to Ike's." " I thought you might like to come along." " No, thanks." "Might give you a chance to visit with Aimee." " Something wrong?" " It's kind of hard to talk about." "It won't get any easier if you keep it to yourself." "You have a best friend when you were my age?" "I sure did." "Her name was Betty Blue Webber." " What happened to her?" " She married a man who owned a hotel." "While I was having babies, she was traveling and going to parties and getting her picture in the society page." "We sort of grew apart." "I thought when Aimee came back, it'd be just like it used to be." "We'd sew together, gather wildflowers, practice our ballet steps." " But now she's too sophisticated." " Well, people grow at different speeds." "Aimee's just got a little spurt on you, that's all." "You'll catch up." "We were supposed to go to the movies together till she decided she'd rather go with Jim-Bob." "Girls have been doing that ever since I can remember." "It seems they reach an age where one date with a boy is more important than a whole friendship." "It's especially bad when the boy is your brother." "There's something I didn't tell you about Betty Webber." "What's that?" "If she moved down the road from me tomorrow even after all these years and the different kinds of lives we've led she'd still be my best friend." "EP:" "Well, you didn't expect him to admit it, did you?" "JOHN:" "I guess they don't make rules for men like Calvin Satterfield." "I did my best, John." "You heard him say he understood about taking the law in his own hands." "I heard him say a lot, most of it lies." "I'd like to think that all the hard feelings will be buried along with that boy." "On the other hand, he'll have that grave to remind him." "John, just don't do anything foolish." "Not if I can help it, Ep." "Boy, you sure ordered enough of this stuff." "Leg makeup." "Whoever heard of such a thing?" "Quite a few people, as a matter of fact." "Movie stars, heroines of assembly lines, your wife and daughter." "If you kept up with things, Daddy you'd know that leg makeup is replacing stockings." "Oh, yeah?" "What are you gonna do when they run out of leather, use foot makeup?" "Ha-ha-ha." "What's the matter?" "Nobody got a sense of humor around here except me?" "Jim-Bob." "Hey, we heard about last night." "Pretty close call, huh?" "We are so relieved that you're all right." " Aimee, could I talk to you for a minute?" " Of course." "Excuse me, Maman." "Now, you two be sure to stay where we can see you both." "You'll have to excuse my father, Jim-Bob." "Sometimes he can be quite gross." "[DOOR OPENS AND BELL DINGS]" "You know, it's bad enough my wife thinks I'm a jerk." "But now my daughter's starting to act that way too." "I don't think you're a jerk, Ike." "Perhaps a bit tasteless from time to time." "All children find fault with their parents." "If they don't, they're not ready to lead lives of their own." "I think you will find that little girls, even when they become big girls still need their daddies from time to time." "I think it's that finishing school." "She's too finished for her own good." "I hate to admit it, but I have noticed lately that Aimee is showing signs of turning into a regular little snob." "I suppose you're going to tell me you weren't even frightened." "As a matter of fact, I was scared stiff." "It takes a very brave person to admit that." "All you gotta be is honest." "Aimee, I'm gonna have to break our date for the movies this Saturday." "Why?" "I told everybody about it." "Because you're too young for me." "I thought you agreed with me, it's not the age that matters but the degree of sophistication a person has." "Then why didn't you tell me you and Elizabeth were already planning to go see Jane Eyre?" " Elizabeth understands." " Well, I don't understand." "You go off and you spend all that time at finishing school learning to eat with the right fork and make polite conversation then you come back and you hurt your best friend." "There's just some things good manners can't make up for." "I guess I don't blame you for being mad." "I'm not mad, just a little disappointed." "Perhaps we could get together some other time." "Aimee, you're real cute, but you got a lot of growing up to do." "Maybe in a couple years." "[ENGINE STARTS]" "[DOOR OPENS AND BELL DINGS]" "Daddy." "What did he say to you?" "What did he do to you?" "I knew he wasn't good enough for you all along." "No." "No, it's the other way around." "I've been awful to just about everyone, including you." "Well, that's what daddies are for." "You know, you're just growing up and you gotta make some mistakes as you go along." " I've sure been doing that lately." " You mustn't blame yourself, chérie." "We're lucky to have a kind, generous man to put up with us." "I don't just put up with you." "I just love you both." "There's somebody else you should be talking to too." "Elizabeth." "I don't know if I can face her." "Oh, she's an old friend." "I'm sure she'll understand." "I hope so." "Do you want us to go with you when you talk to her?" "No." "No, I got myself into this." "[IKE CHUCKLING]" "Now you're talking like Aimee Godsey." " You want me to give you a push?" " No, thank you." "I was just sitting here." "I hardly ever use it anymore." "How about going for a walk?" " I was gonna wash my hair." " I'll wait." "You know, this is the first time you've come to see me since you got back." " I've been sort of busy." " Now I'm busy." "Oh." "Elizabeth, I didn't mean to hurt you." "I had a lot of friends at school and a couple of them were pretty good friends but I never really had a friend like you." "And that's what I came over to say, really." "You know, I really missed you." "Maybe I don't have to wash my hair right now." "Ha, ha." "Let's go over to my place." "I've got a new Frank Sinatra album." "And Mama got a new carton of leg makeup." "We can see how it looks on us." "ELIZABETH:" "You have to show me those letters from Lieutenant Channon." "AIMEE:" "You will die." "They're so silly." " Let's race." "AIMEE:" "Okay!" "EP:" "John." "Just wish there was something more I could do." "You did what you could, Ep." "EP:" "I'll be checking with you." "OLIVIA:" "John?" " John, what are you doing?" " There was nothing Ep could do." "You think there's something you can do with that?" "Satterfield will only straight-talk with a gun in his hands." "All I plan to do is talk." "Been wishing you'd do something, but not this." "I'm not gonna have my sons walking around in fear of having a potshot taken at them." " And if he takes a shot at you?" " Let him try." " I'm going with you." " Liv, I have to do this alone." "Daddy." " I wanna go with you." " You don't even know where I'm going." " I have a fair idea." " You know I gotta go alone." "Don't want you to go alone." "You may be walking into something." "I appreciate your worry, son but this is something I gotta do by myself." "[ENGINE STARTS]" "Mama, where's Daddy going with his gun?" "Jim-Bob, this rug needs beating." "Help me roll it up."
