Six months later,
I would've asked you:
:08:04
"Could I walk you home?"
:08:06
Next few years, I would've set in
your parlor every Wednesday night.
:08:11
Finally I'd ask your father
could I marry you?
:08:14
But there's not time.
:08:16
I've gotta be home
to tend to my stock.
:08:18
It'll be another five months before
I get down again with my grain.
:08:23
You gonna keep me waiting
that five months just for your pride?
:08:32
I have to finish my chores.
:08:35
I knew it the minute I set eyes
on you. You were the gal for me.
:08:39
I'll go get cleaned up a bit
and root out the preacher.
:08:54
Bless her beautiful hide
:08:56
Wherever she may be
:09:17
- Where's the preacher's house?
- Next to the church.
:09:20
Thanks, pop.
:09:22
She's the gal for me!
:09:27
I'll say it plain and to your face.
I don't like this marriage.
:09:31
- Reverend...
- I don't know anything about you.
:09:33
And I feel responsible.
:09:35
Milly's like a daughter.
We're her only family.
:09:38
Ever since I came here,
you've been after me to marry.
:09:41
A girl had no right to stay single.
The country needed to be settled.
:09:45
We meant you to marry
one of our young men.
:09:48
You had your pick of them.
:09:50
I tried.
:09:51
Again and again I tried.
:09:54
I'd say yes to one of them...
:09:56
...then a sinking feeling
would hit me...
:09:58
...and I couldn't do it.
