Where is Jacob?
Jacob.
Hyah!
Hyah!
Come on!
Ho!
Ho.
Jacob.
Jess.
Sorry about your trouble.
Come to help.
Can't pay you, Jess.
I didn't come to get paid;
I came to help.
Thanks.
By the way, what's that glass
doing on that post?
That's for rain.
Boom!
Mattie:
Oh, they are
wonderful children.
Yes.
It was hard for Jacob
to send them... to send us away.
They're his life...
after the land.
"After the land"?
Sarah, it seems to me
that what Jacob did
was to put you first
to send you here.
He had no choice, Mattie.
Oh, my dear...
(chuckles)
...he had choices.
How long will you stay?
I don't know.
Will Jacob come?
No, Jacob won't come.
Jacob will write letters.
(chuckling):
Letters again.
It was because of those
letters that you left.
And who was it
who told me to go?
I?
Oh...
I could nevermakeyou
do anything, Sarah.
All I told you was
that every winter
I watched the
geese fly away
to places
I've never been...
leaving me behind.
I didn't want you to
be left behind, too.
Are you sorry?
Sorry that I left here?
I miss the sea.
I miss all the green...
though somehow it doesn't seem
quite as green as I remember.
The sea isn't
as comforting.
I was so frightened,
I remember, when I left here.
But I'm more frightened now,
Mattie.
I never knew.
No one ever told me
how hard it is.
To love someone?
(Brutus barking)
Oh.
Look.
Woman:
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
The water is cold here.
(both laughing)
Not too cold
for children.
Yeah, only children and
my Aunt Lou swim here.
And Brutus.
Come here, boy.
William?
Uncle William?
Sarah:
Will!
Sarah!
You're home.
For a visit.
Meg, you look wonderful.
(both laughing)
This is Anna.
And Caleb.
We've missed you.
Two years!
Anna. Caleb.
I should've known
the moment I saw them.
And Jacob...
where's Jacob?
Anna:
Home.
Papa is at home.
William, did you hear?
Seal is going to have kittens!
Seal!
(all laughing)
The father
is orange.
(all laughing)
Meg:
I remember Seal--
Independent.
Independent...
like Sarah.
Imagine that--
Seal a mother!
sometimes works wonders.
It's all right.
It's all right, Anna.
(calf bleating)
I'll come tomorrow
for the sheep.
Don't worry.
Things will get better, Jacob.
Hyah!
(calf bleats)
Samuel!
Whoa.
Keep this one.
All right, Jacob.
(calf bleats)
Thank you, Samuel.
Sarah:
"Dear Jacob, we are here now.
"Anna and Caleb are happy,
but they miss you.
"The aunts
have taken them over.
"They will, I fear,
be loved to death.
"They're going fishing
with Lou tomorrow.
Caleb is taken with the sea."
"Anna is, no surprise
"spending her days
watching and listening.
"We miss you.
"Anna asks about
Seal and Nick.
"Caleb wants to know
if it has rained.
"I think of Moonbeam every day.
Love, Sarah."
Are you going
to tell me?
What did
the doctor say?
I'm fine.
The baby's fine.
The baby...
Mattie...
(chuckling)
The baby.
(piano and flute
playing upbeat melody)
(raindrops falling)
(laughing)
(Caleb and Anna laughing)
Whee!
(piano and flute stop playing)
What is it?
What are they
doing, Sarah?
Sarah:
Rain...
It's been so long.
(laughing)
Sarah?
Sarah,
what are you doing?
Oh, look.
(dog barking)
Oh, Sarah.
(laughing)
Yay! Whee!
(opera playing on gramophone)
Anna:
"Lucille's happy and busy.
"Yesterday,
she had four kittens..."
Will:
Four?!
Caleb:
Kittens!
"Three gray
and one orange.
"Nick misses you.
"Sometimes he sits
and looks down the road
"waiting for you to come back.
"I am fine.
"Still no rain, but soon.
"Give Sarah a kiss for me.
Love, Papa."
Caleb:
He forgot to tell us
about Moonbeam.
Will:
Well, you know
he's probably busy
with the farm.
But he forgot.
I'm going to tell you,
Jacob...
Come on, get your end up.
Closer.
Easy now.
Easy now. Watch yourself.
I'll tell you
that's a good
start, Jacob.
I better be
heading back.
I promised Samuel
I'd stop by
and help him
with his stock.
Someday when
times are better
and there's money
to be earned
I'll buy a place
like this.
My papa used to say
a man is rich if he has land.
People, they come and go
but the land is always there.
You got the whole world
under your feet.
The whole world...
That's what I used to think.
The whole world, Jacob.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Jess.
Mail this for me
in town, would you?
Man:
That's it.
(all laughing)
What's so funny?
We had a lovely day.
Catch any fish?
No.
Tell me.
You gonna tell me?
Tell me.
Uh... it's a secret.
Oh, a Chubb secret?
Uh-Oh.
I know how to
deal with you.
You tell me
the Chubb secret
and I will tell you
Chubb's real name.
You can blackmail him.
What's blackmail?
A criminal act,
my dear.
(Caleb giggling)
Aunt Lou:
Come along, Caleb.
Let us go to the porch
where I will reveal--
only to you, mind you--
Chubb's real name.
Aunt Lou would
make Papa laugh.
Papa doesn't
laugh very much.
Caleb:
Aunt Harriet?
Have you ever been married?
Anna:
Caleb...
That's personal.
Aunt Harriet:
That's all right, Anna.
Personal, yes,
but like everything else
it's also history.
No. I never got married.
Almost, but not quite.
I didn't meet
a dashing man
like your father.
Anna's
our family historian.
What's dashing?
That's what I'm doing,
right now--
dashing into the water.
Caleb:
You are?
You want to come?
I'm going skinny-dipping.
No! Not in front
of the children.
Harriet,
what is it you do each evening
when everyone's in bed?
Lou!
No clothes on?!
You mean, you're going to swim
all naked?!
(dog barking)
Everyone goes
skinny-dipping.
Caleb:
Anna!
Anna!
Come here!
In the moonlight,
she looks like a big fish!
Caleb, what is it?
A dream...
A dream I had.
A bad dream?
I dreamed of old Papa.
But that's a good dream.
He... He couldn't
find us, Sarah.
He looked and looked
and couldn't find us.
Oh, Caleb, your papa
knows where we are.
(sniffling)
He does.
I used to dream
about rain.
Remember?
Mmm.
Is this our new home
Sarah?
(humming softly)
? Don't say a word ?
? Papa's gonna buy you
a mockingbird ?
? If that mockingbird
don't sing ?
? Papa's gonna buy you
a diamond ring ?
? If that diamond ring
turns brass ?
? Papa's gonna buy you
a looking glass. ?
Caleb:
"Dear Papa
"The water is cold here,
but guess what?
"The aunts swim naked and white
in the water at night.
"They call it skinny-dipping.
"But, Papa,
Aunt Lou'snotskinny!
"Here's a secret:
Chubb's name is
Chubbers Horatio Umberto Bell.
"Sarah says it sounds
like a song.
"I miss you.
"I love you.
Caleb."
Don't go out
on the rocks, Caleb.
The tide's up.
I won't!
Watch your step
on the stairs.
They need fixing,
Will.
Uh-yeah.
They always have.
The town's 200th birthday--
that's a fine thing
to celebrate, isn't it?
Yeah.
How many years
have we sat right here
and watched the fireworks?
