What will you do when you get back?

I will go see Mary Lou.

You should come visit.

We could go horseback riding.

We got lakes at the top

of the mountains with...

fish in it.

You would like the scenery.

I might just come one day.

It would be a nice trip.

My friend, remember your name.

Ohonita-he-Puyope.

"Everybody talks about him."

Any one who's at peace with

himself is at peace with others.

You have a good memory, doctor.

Very good.

We had a nice talk.

Good evening.

Do you miss Madeleine?

No. She has her life in Paris.

Topeka, was just sort of...

delightful holiday.

And Menninger has offered me tenure.

I heard.

It's what I wanted.

You will miss your patient?

Of course.

He didn't want to see you to the station.

No.

Do you feel guilty?

Oh no.

No, I don't feel guilty for America's

crimes against the Indians.

I'm only responsible to myself

for what I myself do.

I rejected communion of the saints

as well as the communion of evil.

I didn't help Jimmy Picard

because he was an Indian,

but because it was in

my power to help him.

What happened between Jimmy

and myself concerns only us.

It was between two men of good will,

looking for common ground.

Surely, we are different!

All men rejoice differently.

But still we should all sit down to

the God's banquet.

You're not looking at me.

Yeah, I'm looking at you.

- Are you angry?

- I didn't know...

if you would visit me one day.

I've been missing you.

You know, I wrote to your grandmother

and asked her about adopting you.

Did you know that?

I knew.

I thought about it for a long time.

And I think it could be a good idea.

So I came here to

talk it over with you.

Okay.
