Nelly Bride, Nelly Bride,
bring a broom along
we'll sweep the kitchen clean my dear
and have a little song...
Hi Nelly Oh Nelly let's sing love to me
I'll sing for you, play
for you a dancing melody.
How do you make them go fast Laddie ?
No, little sister
Please, can I make some speed?
They may be pretty tired after
a long day in the field
And that's have a heavy load of hay
I guess you're right
When I get out to the enchantered forest
I'm going to ask the Princess
to give me two fast white chargers.
And we'll ride across the forest moonbeam
like the wind
Giddy up !
Easy, now
You think you'd better
wait and ask the princess ?
She,ss beautiful when she
sits on her throne in
the Enchanted Forest
- Who is?
- Well, the princess.
Oh yeah.
You don't believe me
Sure I do
Sometime i,d like to meet her myself
The princess is going to give me a
magnificent gold carriage
Laddie ! Laddie !
Get over you fool!
Sorry Mr Pryor.
Why didn't you move over?
Father, please...
I turned the wagon as quickly
as you can a carriage
well if you can't handle your horses you
don't business driving them.
Well, wait a minute
Law gives the right away to a man with a
wagon load
But law no law
Next time, you'd better look out.
You concrete clodhopper !
The Pryors aren't very
nice neighbors are they?
The Pryors live differently than we do.
I'm disappointed in the princess too.
Pamela Pryor...
Is she your princess?
All that thing's a pretending.
She isn't really a princess,
but she looks like one.
Yes, I've noticed that before
Now girls you mustn't be
too hard on the Pryors.
Well I don't know what Mr. Pryor's meaning
saying his wife was undisposed
Undisposed, nothing
I saw her with my own eyes today in
the upstairs window looking as well as I do
Away Mr. Pryor the princess drove by
leEt is standing on the porch
English people...
What a difference between reserved and
downright in politeness
One ought to tell them we won the revolution.
Well, we did our part
We,ve been neighbourly
Oh mother you take
the minister's sermons too seriously
And just think,
I might have been out in the
woods working on my nature studies.
Where? In Peter Dover farm?
After all, romance is a
part of nature study.
Make her stop mother.
Sherry,
I think we baked
all those cookies for the Pryors.
don't worry I'll see
that they're not wasted
you put a hand on those cookies Leon oh
just because you're all mad at the
Pryors you need to take it up me
Mad at the Pryors ?
Wouldn't go to all that bother
Miss princes Pryor you're jealous
of her clothes.
I am Not!
Wouldn't be as stuck up
as she is for the world.
He tried to run us down with our horses
You wouldn't find you a stuck-up if you
tried to get acquainted with her ?
How you're going to get acquainted ?
Even at church,
she only speaks to the minister
Miss Pryor's going to church on Sunday ?
I don't say where somebody,s going to
church Sunday.
Here he comes.
And he's got 'em. they're beautiful!
There you are mother a giEt from your
loving husband
I wish Peter could see them
Now we can all go to church in real
style
Can I Drive into the barn father ?
Yeah son, don't drive too fast and
handling her gently
Come on Sarah !
Come on !
we'll certainly put the Pryor's eyes out
and speaking of the prize you should
hear the way they snubbed us today father
They almost ran us down
That's who do they think they are !
Victor Pryor was driving like mad.
- I wanna talk to you little sister
- Not now
You don't wanna be a clucking hen
like Shelly and Sally do you?
No, but i,d like to listen.
That ain't good.
You should do as mother does
listen a lot and don't say very much.
Wanna ask you a favor little sister.
Sure.
Remember you told me about
your walks in the woods
How you saw the princess
in the Enchanted Forest?
Do you believe in fairy tales?
Can we pretend?
I don't know.
It's gonna be awful hard
after the way she acted.
Maybe I could think of another princess.
No... no, I think I prefer this one.
It's a shame.
I'm not so fond of this one anymore.
Well, I am...
I mean...
If you should ever see
her you in your walks in the woods...
You'd like to meet her?
That's right.
You wanted to keep the secret
An important one.
Cross my heart.
- Good!
- Hé!
Little sister.
Are you looking for me?
Yes Princess,
I have a message
Thank you little sister.
don't be afraid of me.
Come here let me kiss you.
Thank you Princess.
- Hé!
- Harry come back here, there you are.
- Hello
- Hello.
- Who are you?
- Little sister
That's what Laddie calls me
That's not my name.
You know who I am?
Of course, you're Pamela Pryor,
And you're english and you
live on the farm next to ours.
Is your mother really sick,
or she just pretending cuz
she don't want to see me
She really is sick.
She has heart trouble
I'm sorry.
But the mother will be glad to know
she's really sick
cuz she's on...
What?
Well...
You're not our very neighboured family,
aren't you?
No...
we're not.
You can call me little sister if you like.
Thank you little sister.
Would you like a cookie?
Yes, thank you.
What you're doing in the woods all alone?
I'm looking for someone.
Who?
I guess it's you.
After all, people do call you the princess.
They do?
They say: "There goes the princess"
But Laddie says
"There goes the princess"
Laddie who?
That's my big brother.
You saw him when your
father almost ran him down.
I'm sorry.
My father's temper gets the
best of him sometimes.
Your brother's very nice.
Then it's all settled
What is?
Well, he thinks you're nice.
And you think he's nice.
Now you both can see each other.
I'm afraid we can't
I don't understand grown-ups.
They make things so mixed-up.
Perhaps you'll understand when you grow up.
But he wants to see you so bad.
No... no, I can't.
Tell him he mustn't make
any attempt to see me
Even at church?
Even at church.
Goodbye little sister.
Mam'selle...
Amen!
Peter, we're expecting you
for dinner, remember.
Yes, thank you Mrs Stan.
- Hello.
- Hello Peter.
Are you going home from church?
I always do.
I was wondering if I could
drive you home from church?
- You always do.
Thank You...
Sally.
Laddie.
Mighty glad to see you Laddie
You know what's happening to me?
My crops are being destroyed
by a little red bug,
that leaves a scale that looks like rust
Oh, that's too bad Tom.
I've been around here a long time,
but I never saw a bug like that before.
Hello Princess!
Little sister!
Mother! Mother!
This is a friend of mine, Emma.
I met her... I met her in the wood.
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
I've been hoping to meet you.
Ever since that day you
were kind enough to call.
What would you do with a bug...
that leaves the scale that looks like rust?
Try tightening it up and using a little
axle grease.
How is your mother's health miss class?
Oh about the same thing she was so sorry
that she couldn't receive you that day
but your kindness to a stranger in a
strange land meant a great deal to her
Oh I was just trying to be neighborly
I know what it means to be away from one,s folks
Here,s another of my brood miss Pryor.
My son Larry Stanton
- Miss Pryor.
- Mr. Stanton.
I must go now.
won't you come over and see us real soon?
I will thank you.
I'm awfully glad to have met you.
May I have the pleasure of
escorting you to your carriage?
That's very kind of you.
- Goodbye
- Goodbye.
She's even prettier near too
than she's in the distance.
What did little sister say...
Oh, she was very sweet.
She merely said that she
met me in the wood.
I'm glad of the opportunity
to meet you formaly.
Oh, I...
I want to apologize
for father's actions the other day.
Don't bother.
But you see in England
whenever we met any of the
villagers on the road,
they naturally stood aside
and touch their caps
to him and me.
Lord of the Manor...
- I understand
- Oh no no.
He was in the army and used to obedience.
Oh, I see.
Oh but you must promise me never to mention
anything about the army in his presence.
Alright.
Pamela!
I'm coming father
You did just right.
You see he musn't get used
to not having his own way.
I must go now.
When am I gonna see you again?
I don't know.
Pamela!
I'm coming father...
This afternoon in the forest
clearing at 3 o'clock?
My shoes lovely and the real lady too
The way her people have acted.
Oh I do hope that Laddie...
don't start worrying about laddie
He has good head on his shoulder
But many good head has been
lost over a pretty woman.
Well, did I lose mine?
A lovely dinner!
What one needs after meal like this
is some good exercise.
Wake me in an hour.
Thank you lady
I saw him kiss her!
Little sister, what are you talking about?
Sally and Peter, they're engaged.
He kissed her right in the living room
What made you think they're engaged?
Mother says when a boy kissing
the girl they're engaged.
Mister Dover...
That's my name.
Missus Stanton,
That's your name
Mr. Stanton,
surely, you cannot be unaware of the...
deep and tender emotion to which I...
I would unworthy
have been inspired by your daughter Sally.
I...
trust I'm not being presomptuous
in hoping that my...
humble and honorable affections
have not gone unrequired.
Yes Peter,
go on
I assure you I will make
you a good husband.
That is I mean make Sally
a good son-in-law.
I mean, euh...
I mean uh-oh what he means is that he,s
What he means is willing to put up with
Sally,s cooking for the rest of his life.
Yeah! That's it!
I understand young man.
And you'll find Sally a mighty good cook.
Almost as good as her mother.
Well!
Alright for ypu.
I'll be glad when you
get married and go away
I won't never to say goodbye neither
Hé!
Where,re you headed for young lady?
I'm leaving home.
I'm oing out west to Pennsylvania.
Sounds like a pretty quick decision.
- Besides, Pennsylvania,s East
- Then I'll go somewhere else
Helen spanked me
Cuz I told mother she and Peter Dover
were engaged
That's a shame.
- Are they really engaged?
- Hum hum
I saw him kissing her.
Were the flowers for Laddie?
I know
The Princess!
Right you are.
Look little sister
I wouldn't run away too soon if I were you
Forget
When Sally goes you'll have
a whole room to yourself
Laddie...
Please, can I go with you?
Now, wait a minute
Alright.
If you promise not to run away,
you can come along.
But remember,
as soon as we get to the clearing
you have to turn and go home
Understand?
Come along.
What you gonna say to the princess
when you see her Laddie?
I hadn't thought
You'd better.
You oughta say something uncommons.
Yes.
I guess thats, right
How about this?
Fair lady,
these flowers are put to shame by your
beauty
That's pretty good
Start with.
Go on.
The stars are no brighter than your eyes
The sun had to take from your smile,
There, how about that?
Well, that's simply magnificent
It's pretty good myself
Well, that's where you and I part company
Do I have to go?
Alright
Goodbye
Goodbye
Hello
Hello
I'm sorry if I kept you waiting
You haven't
I've only been here a minute
What lovely flowers
Yes, they are lovely
they're for you
That was really thoughtful
Yes.
I know I mean it was nothing at all
Euh...
Yes?
I can't say anything
Is that why you wanted to see me
this afternoon?
You are a trifle shy
No, I've never been called bashful
I'm that out of church
I had a word of confidence
before you came but...
But now that you're here I can't think of
anything to say.
You're acting like a young man
meeting a girl for the first time.
This is a confession
How I feel
Hello...
I thought I told you to go home.
I couldn't mind let you hang there.
Thanks
She was supposed to go home
But she didn't
I'm sorry Laddie,
but I wanted to hear
all the nice thing he was
going to say to you.
What was he going to say?
He said I'm coming over
I guess he must have forgotten.
But you remember them don't you?
Oh no, she doesn't
Yes I do
He said:
She was more beautiful than the fllowers
And her eyes were like...
were like... euh...
the stars.
Well, that's lovely
But that's just what I told him.
Well guess I better be going
Oh, don't go
Goodbye
Goodbye dear
Goodbye
I wouldn't be so cross
I think your family does wonders dor you
Pamela...
it's unfair to meet you under
circumstances like these
Your parents might not approve
- I should meet your father and mother
- Oh No
Why not?
I'll be on my best behavior
It isn't that
i,d like to tell my father
but a fine young man you are
You want him to get the country
clodhopper idea out of his mind
Laddie, can't you forget that?
he's really a fine man
I'm sorry
Wish I could explain it to you
Something happened to him in England
A tragedy that he,s...
he's never really recovered.
You'll be patient.
Sure I will
Thank you Laddie.
- Goodbye
- Goodbye
You did a lot better that time
Didn't I send you home young lady?
Mr and Mrs John invite you
to the wedding of their daughter Sally
to Mr Peter Dover
Tuesday evening June the Tenth
Get away from here
or you'll be a wedding breakfast
Leon, Rémi, some more firewood
And get me some more eggs
And be quick about it
Anyone would think they're going to the
wedding
Well not exactly
They,ve still got to look their best
Why?
Father told me I could use him to go
over and pick up the princess
Is she really comin?
she's been invited
Sure she's coming.
Suppose her father will raise her
Then I guess let's get kidnap her
You mean put a ladder up to her window...
and carry her away?
In spite of her father?
Just like a princess in a fairy story?
If I can't get her any other way.
Laddie...
let me go with you.
Oh no, not this time.
Please...
Hello, sister
Come on and help me.
You'd better run help Leon.
Let me take me with you
I said no.
Come on, will you?
Scoop!
Sara does think 10 chicken isn't enough
Now she wants 6 more
All this work and what do we get?
A neck, or wings
And ...isn't a lot to talk about
Sure well that's gonna be different today.
I'll show you.
Hey aren't you gonna help me?
I gotta kidnap somebody.
- But I got a good idea
- Maybe later
Well young lady, what can I do for you?
I wanted to ask you something
Well...
Are you going to forbid your daughter
to come to the wedding with my brother?
Why didn't he come here
and cry for himself?
Oh, he didn't send me
He doensn't even know I'm here
You can thank your family
for the invitation,
and express my daughter's regret
to her previous engagement
she will be unable to accept.
Does that mean no?
That means no.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Well, good bye!
Good bye.
Help! Help! Help!
Somebody help!
Get me down!
Hurry!
Help!
What are you trying to do?
I came here to kidnap your daugher
but I got stuck
All your confounded nuisance stop.
Now, hep you're down
Pamela!
I was afraid i,d be met by your father.
And an argument.
he's somewhere around.
Let's hurry before he
finds you've been here
Now Miss just what's all
this nonsense about?
Oh!
Oh look!
Pamela!
Pamela!
Well, I'll be hanged
So you did help him to kidnap her?
I did!
Hurray!
- M'man
- Thank you
It's nice holding you like this
even if it's just for a moment.
And we wanted to keep this a secret.
I don't care.
I want to shout out from my house tops.
You don't have to now
Oh Sally you look so lovely
Sally?
Wear this please for good luck
Then maybe I'll get married next year
Oh now girls that's enough
Now I guess we're all ready
- Pamela?
- Yeah
Take your places
Come children
Dearly beloved
We are gathered together
in the sight of God
and in the face of this company
To join together this man
and this woman in holy matrimony
Into this holy estate
these two persons present
ome now to be joined.
If any man can show just cause
why they may not lawfully
be joined together
Let him now speak
or forever hold his peace.
Peter, Lemuel Dover
Wilt thou have this woman
to be thy lawful wedded wife
To live together after God's ordinance
To love,
honor and cherish her
and forsaking all others
to cleave only unto her
so long as you both shall live?
I will.
Sally Elizabeth Stanton will tell have this
Wilt thou have this man
to be thy lawful wedded husband,
to cherish and protect him in sickness
and in health?
Let me see...
If there,s anything else, i,d like
Oh yes, chicken
Are you really gonna eat another piece?
I don't know
I can chew but I can't swallow
You know, you're pretty brave
I didn't think you'd
come in on this with me
I thought you'd want to
stay for the wedding
I saw her rehearse so often
I could married Peter Dover
myself without a hitch.
Little sister!
Leon!
Little Sister!
That's 15 cards for you
And 10 for me.
Are you going?
Might as well face the
music and get it over with
Let's get back in engagement day
Little sister!
Little sister, where have you been?
We shouted our heads off for you
Cali wants you to sit at the bride table
The bride table!
That's what I get for listening to you
Come on, Sally wants to see you.
Where,s little sister?
I won't go 'til I see her.
Here she is Sally
I...
I'm sorry I spanked you
I didn't mean to hurt you.
Really.
You didn't
Just my feelings...
Will you forgive me?
Will you kiss me goodbye?
I love you, honor
I'll miss you so terrible
And I'll miss you little sister.
Sally! Sally!
Everybody,s waiting.
Including your husband.
Mrs. Peter Stover
Come on, Little sister.
Pamela
This afternoon when Sally and Peter
were getting married,
Did you wonder how it'd feel
to stand up in front of an altar like this?
With the minister saying
Pamela Pryor,
Wilt thou take this good-for-nothing man
to be thy lawful wedded husband?
I will
Laddie Stanton
Wilt thou take this beautiful woman,
who's entirely too good for you,
to be thy lawful wedded wife
I will
I now pronounce you...
man and wife.
Laddie?
Princess?
they're waiting for you
You're holding up everything.
Did you see what I saw?
Leon?
Little sister?
Well did you think Sally has
forgotten all about you?
I haven't thought!
Come on sit down and get to work
Come on, come on!
But...
But we're really not hungry.
That's right.
With all the excitement,
We kind of lost our appetite
Oh?
That was only the excitement was it?
Well you come along and start eating and
don't you leave a thing on your plates
or I'll tell your mother
And I saved you some of the nice
white breast for you.
Laddie we can't go through with this.
We must.
Protect your father you are afraid of
isn't it?
Yes...
Pamela how do you know what is gonna say?
I know cause he's even tried
to keep me from going to church.
He has more meaning than anyone.
Well that may be just family pride.
- No one,s good enough for his only child.
- But I'm not...
I'm not what?
I'm not his only child.
We never speak of it but...
Father lost a son in England.
That's why we came to America.
That isn't easy to get over.
But don't you see dear,
that explains his whole attitude
he's afraid of losing you too.
- Maybe
- No maybe about it
That simplifies everything.
i,d just tell him that there,s no danger
because we'll be living practically
right next door.
No, Laddie...
Yes, Pamela.
Laddie, if you love me...
That's just him.
- I do love you
- Please
Ah, Pamela,
- How'd you do?
- Good evening Sir.
Father, this is Laddie Stanton
Yes, I know well that
Thank you young man for
escorting my daughter home
Just a moment Sir
i,d like to speak to you if I may
You'd better go inside Pamela
It's getting chilly
- Father...
- Your mother needs you too
Now what can I do for you?
Mr Pryor,
I'm here to ask a very great favour of you.
One that I didn't ask lightly
and one that you may not
grant with deep consideration
Ever since your daughter first honored me
with her friendship,
I've been anxious to
meet you and to obtain your permission
Yes, yes...
My daughter's already asked me
about the church party
Unfortunately she,ll be unable to attend
That isn't what I was talking about
What were you talking about?
Truth of the matter is that I love her
What did you say?
I love your daughter
And i,d like your permission to marry her
You? Marry my daughter?
That's ridiculous.
Mr. Pryor...
I don't will discuss the matter further.
The idea is preposterous and unthinkable
I know how you must feel
But it won't be like losing Pamela
I even thought that eventually
you might let me
In some measure...
take the place of your son.
My son?
What do you know about my son?
Only that you lost a son in England
If I did...
What's that to you?
Are you trying to mock me?
No sir.
Well I want no son you hear?
If I did I wouldn't choose
a clodhopper like you
You impudent young yokel!
You'd like to take
the place of my son?
You and your upstart family
You leave my family out of this
Why should I?
Haven't you been whining
round here with your insolence
suggestions?
If you weren't her father i,d...
Get out!
Get out!
And if I catch you around here again
I'll have you thrown out!
You farmer!
My son...
Pamela,
I've been wanting to see you
I've been waiting every day in the
forest clearing hoping that you'd come
I've wanted to see you too
Father hardly lets me out of the house
Laddie, what are we going to do?
Pamela...
We love each other
That's all that really counts
- Let's get married anyway
- No
No, I couldn't do that
without father's consent
he's been hurt too much already
What happened to him in England made him
a changed man
I wish we could change him back
Maybe he wouldn't be so
infernally stiff neck
Oh Laddie you mustn't talk about
father like that
Did you hear what he called me?
Well he...
He called you a farmer
I didn't like the way you said it either
Laddie
Have you ever considered anything else?
Like going into a profession?
I considered it and rejected it
But you have the education
I know you'd make good
Why don't you try politics?
Or law?
I've tried law
I worked a couple of summers in Chicago
Laddie, you never told me
I don't even like a thing about it
Closed in office
Stuffy streets, houses jammed up together
Musty old courtrooms
Digging in other people,s troubles
Personally i,d rather dig
in a good clean earth
What's the matter with farming anyway?
Even your father runs a farm
don't you see?
Owning a farm...
working one...
Well, there is a difference
A farmer isn't a gentleman
Not exactly,
But I thought if you could do
something else, well...
Why didn't you mention this before?
You know what I was all along,
It never seemed to make any
difference to you
Now, you wanna change me
You want to change everything about me
Just your work Laddie
Only because of father
- But look...
- I must go Laddie
I can't stay any longer
But think it over, will you?
Please
You'll make things so much easy
For what we are about to receive
may we be doing thankful... Amen.
Sarah bring the coffee
- You've washed your hands Leon?
- Yes Mother
Tie your nap round your neck
Father...
I was talking to Wilson at the bank and
he told me
that forty acres are joining our West
eighties for sale
Well, that's part of Pryor's land
isn't it?
Yes sir
And I wanna buy it
You do Laddie?
Yes
I've saved enough money
Anyway, someday, I want a farm of my own
What's happened son?
Nothing much mother
I asked Mr. Pryor permission to
marry Pamela
Laddie!
Oh Laddie, I've just lost Sally
don't worry
I was told that a farmer
wasn't a gentleman
Well, I never
What about your father?
he's been farmer for 30 years
I think I'll step over and have a few
quiet words with Mr Pryor
This is my role father
If Mr Pryor thinks he can make me ashamed
of what I am he's badly mistaken
And I'm gonna buy
some of his own land and show him
that it was put there and grow crops
Produce food and make money
Well, show him
Sit down little sister
Good luck son
Thank you Father
Eat your purridge
But Charles,
you must consider Pamela,s future
I'm looking after future
But not her happiness
You don't realize
how you've let this trouble
prey on your mind
I never think of it at dinner
That's all you do think of Charles
Remember he was my son too
But we also have a daughter
I don't see why her
life has to be ruined
Just because Robert got into trouble
- Good morning mother
- Good morning
- Father
- Good morning
♫ Bringing in the shades,
bringing in the shades ♫
♫ We keep on rejoicing
Bringing in the shades ♫
♫ Sowing in the morning... ♫
Who is it making that infernal noise?
Can't it be Thomas?
Thomas went to town early
this morning
♫ Bringing in the shades,
bringing in the shades ♫
♫ We shall come rejoicing
bringing in the shades ♫
♫ Going in the morning
sowing seeds of pines let's ♫
This is this young Puppy!
he's actually plowing on my land!
Charles please...
Father, this land was for sale,
he might have bought it
Where did a bankhead like that get
the money to buy land?
I'm gonna shut him out
so he,ll never sing again
as long as he lives
Oh mother...
- Ruined
- No darling, you know your father
Not father, Laddie!
Laddie ruined everything
♫ Bringing in the shades... ♫
You, young...
Take this out of my land!
I'll get my dogs on you
You know what your dogs will do?
They,ll eat right out of my hand
I've been feeding them for months
You've what?
I've made friends with them
Making friends is easy;
wouldn't you like to try?
This is the last straw
You... you...
Clodhopper?
Get off my land!
I'm on my own land
I bought it from the bank
The bank doesn't own it
the deeds got to come from me
and I won't sell to you!
Now, get out!
Mr Pryor...
This land is the whole difference
between you and me
That's why I wanted it
I wanted to show you the real meaning of it
That's good land
And it should be growing crops
You've never put a plow in
an inch of it
You need us farmers to produce the
very food that you eat
I pay for what I need
And you need what we grow
We can get along without you
But you can't get along without us.
The other night you called me a farmer
And I want you to know that you're right
I am a farmer and I'm proud of it!
I've plowed straight furrows
I've sowed good seeds
I've watched my crops grow
I've gathered in my harvest
And I know that there,s no finer thing
a man can do on this green earth
Well, perharps, you're right
Oh poppycock I don't care what you are
I wasted enough time
listening to you now take your blasted
horses and leave at once!
Otherwise, I'll be the worst for you!
This land is no longer for sale
Laddie!
Laddie!
Has anything happened here?
Plenty
I had a talk with Mr. Pryor
Father...
Now Charles, try and finish your breakfast
I'll give you a fresh cup of tea
What did he say to you Charles?
My dear Anna,
He stood up to me
What are we gonna do now?
I wish I knew
Maybe the princess would appreciate
you're calling on her
Well now she probably never wants to
see me again
You're wrong lady... Here she comes!
Laddie...
How could you've done such a thing?
You must have known that it would spoil
every chance that we had with father
I didn't know we had a chance with him
Well, we haven't now
He,ll never forgive you
What do you want me to do?
Play doormat for your father to walk?
Oh I wanted you to wait
and have a little patience
until we could try to work
things out
We might have found a way
I suppose I could have become a gentleman
Well what have you gained by this
ploughing exhibition
- At least I've shown your father...
- Yes you've shown him
You've shown him that you're
just stubborn as he is
Pamela!
Aren't you gonna marry her Laddie?
she's other way round I'm afraid
She isn't gonna marry me
But Laddie!
That will spoil everything
Things will spoil everything
There,s nothing I can do about it
is ready, I know where
You do?
Really I do Laddie
Forever so long
I've been saving up a great
big powerful prayer
What?
A powerful prayer
The kind when you talk to the Lord
Like he was standing right in front of you
and we have to get down to business
and work at it
You know,
The way father prayed
when mother was so sick last winter.
I remember
I almost said one like that
it Easter
when I wanted to find more eggs than Leon
Well, I didn't have to
And I almost said
examination time
I got you alright
And so, I've saved it up
I can say it now for you
If you really want me to Laddie
A powerful prayer...
I'll do it right now
But you really have to
want what I'll ask for
I really want it little sister
All right
Dear heavenly father...
I come before you...
this day...
to ask you to keep Laddie,s heart
from breaking...
like mother's best picture...
when the cream froze in it...
On account of the way
that princess is acting
I know that you've made every
man different, Lord...
so that each woman could tell...
which one belonged to her.
But the princess don't...
doesn't seem to know it.
So if you'll just open
her eyes to the truth
that Laddie really and truly
belongs to her...
i,d be much obliged.
Thanking you for this favour,
I am ever thine
Amen
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Lord...
You've got the wrong man...
Little sister!
don't
Is he the one?
What on earth are you
talking about?
Him!
- He doesn't belong to you?
- But he does
he's my brother
- Your brother?
- My brother
Robert Pryor
he's come all the way
from England just to see me
Robert!
What do?
I feel dizy
You have fever
It did on the boat coming on
right off
I got off the bed too soon
Oh Robert!
Little sister
run and tell your family
that my brother's ill
All right
Stanton,s farm is near upstear
They,ll take care of you
- John?
- Yeah?
John I think you'd better go for dr. Bond
That poor lad's fever is getting worse
- All right mother
- Mrs Stanton?
- Yes dear
Mrs Stanton...
Before you do anything more,
I...
I think that it's only fair
that you should know
something about Robert
My dear, he's a sick boy
That's all that concerns us
Mrs Stanton...
By my father's standards...
My brother's past might
almost be considered criminal
He was dishonorably discharged
from the army
There,s that all things seem unimportant
at a time like this
Not to father
He was a captain in the service
Following tradition of the Pryors
Then he a was a ninth promotion to major
And Robert got into trouble
The scandal prevented fathers advancement
Then something inside of him seemed to snap
He hasn't been the same man
You'll forget all that as soon as he
realizes that Robert is back
Parents are a lot more
talented than suspected
You don't know father
Ever since he resigned his post
Well, the importance of the army,
the disgrace...
it got in his mind...
Wait until you get him home
You'll see everything
will change
No I don't dare take him home
If father saw him he,d
sh**t Robert on sight
sh**t his own son?
You mean, he,d sh**t him dead?
Good Lord!
Always underfoot run out and play!
But I don't want to play
Go on, come along
That's a good girl
M'dam I think i,d better ride
to get over mother
Betty think I can do it without
father,s
Of course my dear you run right along
don't you worry about Robert
Thank you
Missed again
Hello!
Hello
You should wear red coat
when you go hunting
But I haven't got a red coat
- Have you?
- Yes
You see, I didn't expect to meet another...
another Nimrod out here
Nimrod, in the Bible
I didn't know you read the Bible
Father said he didn't
think you did
- What are you hunting?
- Tigers and lions
Would you like to hunt wild animals
in the jungle with me?
That might be a good idea
I haven't had much luck by myself
What kind of ammunitions do you use?
I use lion,s tongue seeds on the Lions
And tigers little seeds on the Tigers
Aahh... very appropriate
don't you ever bring down your prey?
No, I don't like to sh**t things dead
And you?
Yes, sometimes
Even... people?
Well, no
What gave you that idea?
Even if you're awful...
terrible mad at them?
Certainly not
In fact you can take my word for it
Oh I'm so glad coz Robert... hum...
Robert?
Robert who?
Robert who? Robert what?
Robert...
Pryor
Where is he?
Where is he?
he's at our house
But you said you wouldn't sh**t him,
you said so
Wait! You haven't heard it all!
Wait!
There,s more to tell you
he's gonna k*ll Robert,s
k*ll who?
Robert! His own son!
he's in our home sick,
The princes found him on the road
Pryor's son in our house?
Yes, Mr. Pryor awful mad at him
he's gonna sh*t him!
If I can't help it
The princess is threating dead and
he's got a g*n
Look little sister,
you take care of the horse
and leave back home and be careful.
Well, you're too big for me to ride
So I guess you and me will
just have to walk home
Just a moment Mr Pryor
Get out of my way!
I'm sorry sir but you're on the stand
inside of the fence now.
Did you wanna see anyone special?
I've come to get...
to get my son.
Not with that g*n I hope
That's my affair
I'm sorry sir but you can't enter
in our house armed
- You don't let me pass...
- You'll sh**t me I suppose?
I've come to understand
you threatened to sh**t your son
He was disgrace to his country
He was still your son wasn't he?
No...
I disowned him
And what are you doing here?
What do you want with a son you've
disowned?
He doesn't belong to you anymore
You have no right to him
Come right in doctor
- Hello Dr. Barnes
- Hello Laddie
- Is it Robert that's ill?
- Yes
And he must be very ill or mother
wouldn't have sent for the doctor
Just a moment
g*n...
Sally said that Mr. Pryor threatened to
k*ll his own son
I'm sorry mr. Pryor you
disturbed the patient
I've come to take my son
home Mrs Stanton
He hasn't any home
I beg you pardon?
He never did have one
A home is a place
filled with love and understanding
Where one can find protection and shelter
in times of trouble
The house he lived in
must have been just a monument of Pride
And the door was shut in his face the
moment that pride was in danger.
I did what I thought was right.
For yourself maybe,
But not your son
He was in trouble and
you leEt him
And he had to face all alone
Well he isn't alone now thank heaven
Of course we are just plain people,
farmers, Mr Pryor,
But Robert is welcome
to stay with us as long as he likes
Do you realize what my son did?
You know the story of the
prodigal son Mr. Pryor?
He wasn't a very good boy either and yet
his father still loved him
And when he came home his
father ran to him and he said:
"This my son was lost...
and is found".
Can you say that Mr Pryor?
Yes
I can tell now
The room at the head of the stairs...
Thank you
Your wife is up there too
You don't believe in leaving
anyone out do you?
How is he doctor?
Better!
Providing nothing upsets him
Well son
Pamela
Is there anything I can do?
No
Now everything's quite all right?
Why don't you tell him you're crying cause
you hurt his feeling?
Why don't you get down from
there before you break your neck?
But it's true laddie
You know I always cry
when I make you feel bad
Would you just this once please keep quiet?
No, wait
How did I hurt Maddie,s feeling?
Cause you didn't like the farmers
and he's a farmer
And the farmer's farmer
My mother's been married to my
father for 30 years
And she says she still loves him
Your father's a very wonderful man
Like Laddie
Why don't you tell him you sorry?
That's what I always do
I'm sorry Laddie
Then I give him a great big kiss
Hey!
Well...
I guess that's all!
You
Laddie (1940)
