Too many.
(all chuckling)
to be done, Lou?
Nope. This is the last of it.
Will:
Remember
when we were little
we used to sit
here when Papa...
Papa fished.
We'd wait to see
his boat come
and then run up the hill
to tell Mama.
Uh-yeah.
William
do you remember
Papa singing a song
about a skylark?
I only remember the first line:
Like a skylark, Sarah sings.
You never stayed
still, you know.
You were always
in the trees--
climbing rocks.
He used to call
you his skylark
and he said you'd
never come to earth.
Papa...
I can hardly remember
when he was happy...
before Mama died.
Yeah, then you only had me
and the treasures.
Only you?
Don't you know
you were my hero?
(chuckling)
And the aunts.
The aunts were
like the sea--
Always there.
Always... surprising.
Always different.
Always the same.
Almost like...
Jacob.
Sarah?
Jacob could work here
with me.
You know, if the farm fails.
Oh, William...
If you knew Jacob
you could see
how that cannot be.
(thunder rumbling)
(neighing)
(dog barking)
(people cheering)
Sarah:
We should have fireworks
all the time, shouldn't we?
At all our family gatherings.
New Year's, Thanksgiving,
Christmas, birthdays.
Man:
Yeah! Meg loves
these family celebrations.
Why don't we retire
for a slice of pie
before the next battery
starts up.
(laughing)
Watch your step there.
A nice little
piece of cake.
Wasn't that
beautiful?
Oh! Wonderful.
Yes. Yes.
You know, Caleb,
I'm a very smart man.
You know, I... There's
something different about you.
I swim better here.
The salt keeps me up.
Maybe. Maybe.
Could be that.
But I think
there's something else.
I told you my real name
didn't I?
Oh, it's all right.
It's all right.
And now you owe me a secret.
I only know one.
Oh, no.
Don't tell me the one
about the hen swimming
in the buff at night.
You know that?
But I think the real
secret here is...
you miss your Papa.
Both you and your sister.
Am I right?
Yes.
And there is this.
Prairie dirt.
Oh, they're beautiful,
the fireworks.
They're like the sunflowers
in the fields at home, remember?
(people cheering)
I like your name.
Yaaay!
(station bell ringing)
Man:
Over here!
Excuse me.
Could you tell
me where the
Wheatons live?
Get in.
I'll take you there.
I'm Chub...
Chubbers.
Horatio Umberto Bell.
Jacob Witting.
Jacob Witting, yeah.
About time you got here.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Mattie...
Someone's here.
Who is that?
Mattie, come quickly.
I think...
It's him.
Harriet, it's him.
Caleb:
Papa!
Papa! Papa!
(dog barking)
It rained.
It rained.
And there were
fireworks, Papa.
Bigfireworks.
How big is Moonbeam?
Big,
like you.
Restless
like you.
Harriet:
You want
some food, Jacob?
Harri, a solution
to the problems
of the world.
No, thank you.
I couldn't eat.
(seabirds squawking)
(foghorn sounding in distance)
Those sounds.
The sea.
Caleb.
Where are they going?
It's all right.
They'll be back.
Caleb said
it was cold, but...
he didn't say
it was so beautiful.
I love you, Sarah.
There are things that can't
be written in a letter.
I'm not good with words.
You're fine with words.
I dreamed about
it at night
when the sea
sounded like wind
in the grasses.
at night when Caleb
had bad dreams.
I saw your face
everywhere, Jacob.
Everywhere.
I'd look at the sea
and I'd see your face there
and in the sky.
When I looked
at Anna and Caleb,
you were there.
Once in the street, I saw
somebody that looked like you
Once, I met the train
because something told me
maybe you'd be there.
But I never
thought you'd come.
Here I was like a child
come home to my beautiful sea
and I should have been happy
but I was frightened.
I mean, Iamfrightened
because this terrible love
for you is so strong
that I've... I've never
known such a thing before.
I know.
I never thought
you'd come.
They're kissing and hugging!
Of course
they are.
Chub.
They're doing it more!
Wonderful.
how long I'd stay here
and, uh, I know now.
I came to stay long enough
to say good-bye.
I think, Jacob, our baby
should be born on the prairie.
It's the right thing.
And you were right--
some things can't be
written in a letter.
You-You said it once.
Sometimes words
aren't-aren't good enough.
Jacob.
I see it!
I see the house!
Anna:
And the new barn!
(horse whinnying)
(mooing)
Oh, Moonbeam!
And Nick!
(barking)
Welcome home.
Hello, Jess.
Your new kittens are waiting
for you on the porch.
(meowing)
Kittens?
How was Maine?
(laughing):
Kittens!
Sarah:
Green, cool.
I'm envious.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
Jacob.
Thank you
for staying.
And thank you
for finishing
the barn, Jess.
Everything's fine.
We got a level
in the stock pond.
Look, Sarah. Orange.
(kitten meowing)
New wheat sprouting
in the fields.
Can you stay
for supper?
Thank you, but I got a mare
that's about to foal.
Uh-huh.
Maybe another day.
It's good
to have you folks back.
There was talk
you might
be selling.
No, Jess.
No.
Won't be selling, Jess.
Good.
I might be interested
in one of the new kittens.
