You've got to stand

between her and that lie.

Don't give in.

We're certainly going to try.

I used to wonder how

I would earn a living.

Now, the question

is, can I survive it?

I'll see you at supper.

Oh...

we glad to have

you back, missy.

What, Helen? What?

Oh, yes.

Keys. Yes.

I'll keep the keys, hmm?

I think we've had enough

of locked doors around here.

Here they are.

That's right.

"And Jacob was left alone

for the breaking of day,

and he wrestled with an angel.

And the angel

said, "Let me go,

for the daybreaks"

And Jacob said, "I will not

let you go until you bless me."

Amen.

Amen Amen.

Amen.

That's a very

strange grace, James.

I thought it was a

very fitting grace

considering the circumstances.

So, you're an expert

now on the Bible

and tobacco, is

that right, James?

Pickles, Aunt Ev?

I should say so.

You know my opinion

of your pickles.

Well, this is the last

of them, I'm afraid.

I didn't put up nearly

enough last summer,

but this year, I intend to.

Reverend Tompkins stopped by the office

today to complain about his weevils.

I told him...

Did you tell him to...

I told him to talk to you

about his weevils, James.

I think it's marvelous

what a successful

farmer you have turned

out to be, James.

Ohh.

Miss Annie, no.

No. Please?

I have hardly had

an hour with her.

Captain?

Katie...

We...

we had a little talk.

Miss Sullivan feels that

if we indulge Helen in...

But what's the child done?

She's learned not to throw

things on the floor and kick.

Well, it's only a napkin.

It's not as if it were

something breakable.

Either give Helen to me, or

you keep her from kicking.

Please.

What do you want me to do?

Let me take her

from the table.

But this is her

first evening back.

Will once hurt so

much, gice Annie?

I have made all of

Helen's favorite foods.

She's testing you.

She's testing you.

I know!

Well she's not kicking now.

This is what I

was worried about.

Is this what you promised

me less than an hour ago?

Give in to her, then.

She's the one who

will pay for it.

Please pass me more of

Helen's favorite foods.

Take her, gice Annie.

Thank you.

There. Take her.

No.

I won't have this.

I don't see that we need

to send her from the table.

Let me hold Helen to what she's

learned, and she will go on learning.

Take her out of my hands,

and it all comes apart.

She is the guest of honor.

Bring her plate back.

If she were a seeing child,

you would not stand for this.

Well, she's not.

I think some allowances

are called for.

Bring her plate back, please.

Thank you.

There.

Now let's start all over.

No.

No.

No.

Don't get up!

What are you doing?

I treat her like a seeing

child because I ask her to see!

I expect her to see!

Where are you taking her?

To make her refill

this pitcher!

You let her speak to

you like that, Arthur?

No, I don't.

Let her go!

What?

Let her go.

She's right.

She's right, and Kate's right.

If you drive Miss Sullivan

away from here, then we're lost.

No.

Helen is lost.

Captain, please.

Jimmy...

Thank you.

Know where we are?

You recognize this place?

Pump.

No.

Your mother's...

not here.

Ah.

Pump.

Water.

W...

Wa...

Wa...

Wa...

Wa...

W...

W...

W...

Water.

Yes.

Water.

It has a name.

Water.

Yes. Yes.

W-W...

W...

Yes. Yes.

Wa...

Wa... Wa...

Yes. Yes.

Water.

Yes.

Pump.

Ground.

Yes.

Bush.

Flower.

Captain

Mrs. Keller, come quickly!

She knows!

Mrs. Keller...

she knows!

She knows!

Mother.

Yes.

Yes.

Captain.

Papa.

Good.

Teacher.

Yes.

Teacher.

Keys?

She wants the keys.

Here you go.

There.

OK.

"K..."

"E..."

"Y."

Key.

Teacher.

Teacher.

Kate, darling.

I...

love...

Helen...

so much.

So much.
