I know I'm lucky to be working with him.

Does he like you?

Half the time

he doesn't even know I'm there.

Well, he will. He should.

Go to bed now, Parris.

- Take care of yourself.

- Oh, you're one to talk.

- Put her to bed at once, Anna.

- Yes, sir.

Listen to the man.

Good night, my darling.

I'm crazy about you, lady.

- Good night, Anna.

- Good night, Parris.

And in diagnosis,

you must never underrate

the value of subconscious observation.

Instinct, if you want to call it that.

Or, more properly, intuition.

It's what makes a born physician.

Better ease up a little on your work,

young man.

- Oh, I'm quite all right, sir.

- You don't look it.

We've had a hard winter.

Take the afternoon off.

Get outside somewhere.

You need to see some other boys.

Rowdy around a little. Do you good.

- What is it? Have you no friends?

- I have one, sir.

Well, a little loneliness won't hurt you,

to speak of.

You get used to it.

There's something I want to speak of.

I was terribly sorry about Mrs. Tower.

No one seemed to know about the funeral.

Thank you. I received your note

and your grandmother's.

I'd like to see Cassandra

and tell her, too, if I may.

I shall be very glad to tell Cassandra,

thank you.

Dr. Tower...

You have a question?

No, sir.

- Run along, my boy.

- Goodbye, Doctor.

Hi, Parris.

Gee, Drake, I'm glad to see you.

You know, kid,

if you're gonna keep your nose

buried in those books all the time,

it's up to me to look you up.

- Hop in.

- Sure.

Say, it's funny,

you coming along this afternoon, Drake.

Dr. Tower just told me I ought to see you.

- Me?

- He said I ought to look up my friends.

Oh, that's me all over.

- How's Cassie?

- I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

Well, Dr. Tower makes me

use the side door

- and I just don't see her.

- I bet I'd find a way.

You know, kid, if you don't go out

after things in this world,

you don't get anything.

You never did come with me

to see the Ross gals.

I took them and Dudley Wright

down to Whaley's pond

just last week on a picnic.

Hotchy-koo, boy!

- Where we going now, Drake?

- We're gonna stop by the Gordons.

I want you to help me talk to Louise.

What do you want me

to talk to Louise about?

Well, she's the gal I've decided to marry.

Drake, you're gonna get married?

Didn't you know about me and Louise?

I thought everybody knew everything

about everybody in this town.

Just do this for me, will you, kid?

I'm in a mess. You'll see.

It's almost time

for Papa and Mama to come home.

- Drake, don't you think you...

- No!

Make Drake calm down, Parris.

Oh, I know Papa's unreasonable.

He's mean to me.

But I'm a girl, and I'm afraid of him.
