Johnny Belinda Page #2

I didn't like bothering you,

but she's having so much trouble.

- The pain's that strong.

- I'll get my bag.

He didn't come at night last time.

It's 12 miles to the veterinary.

It's our cow,

she's the only good one we've got.

We'll fix her up.

He wouldn't have wanted me

to call you, Black wouldn't.

He'll say it costs money...

but if the critter dies,

then it's me who's to blame.

I'll do all I can to help.

In there.

Would you hold the light

a little higher, please?

She can't hear you. She's deaf, dumb.

That's too bad.

What she don't know don't hurt her none.

- By the way, it's a girl.

- Aye.

- Thanks for coming.

- Glad to help.

- Was she born deaf?

- No...

she took sick

when she was about a year old.

Come time to talk, no sound come out.

She growed up that way, dumb.

Blessing she has

such a fine father and mother.

That ain't her mother.

It's my sister, Aggie.

Her mother's dead. She killed her.

She died in childbed.

I guess sometimes it's meant to be.

Sometimes it's easier

to lose someone that way...

than to lose them when they're still alive.

I was in love with a girl.

She married another man.

I was wondering. A young chap like you,

burying himself here.

The other doctors was always old.

That was part of it.

There were lots of other things.

It's a pretty stale story.

Way things were going,

I sort of got fed up.

So I decided to look for another way.

Simple life, simple things.

If people would only learn

to let each other live...

it would be a different world.

What's the fee?

I wouldn't know.

I never delivered a heifer before.

I might take it out

in fishing in that pool of yours.

Looks like a wonderful place for trout.

- You're welcome anytime.

- Thanks.

Good morning, Stella.

I was early so I stopped in to tidy up a bit.

The dishes...

Please don't bother.

- Are you going out?

- For a little while.

That's a nice dress. New, isn't it?

- I made it myself. I make all my own...

- Very pretty.

I'll see you tomorrow.

We may have fish for dinner.

I like fish.

I've got the most wonderful way of...

No guarantees.

Look, Mrs. Lutz, the new doctor.

He hasn't been to church once

in three whole months.

Nice example.

He's a fine doctor. What he did for my Tim.

She's always talking about,

"He's a fine doctor..."

just because he put a bandage on a cut.

Hello?

Here, let me help you. Hello.

Now, where do they go?

Oh, the chickens.

Don't be afraid.

You watch me talk.

That is a...

rooster.

And these are...

hens.

Very good.

That's a tree.

Tree.

Yes.

Water.

Very good. Now if you give...

water to the tree...

it will grow.

Water to the tree, it will grow.

Yes, it will grow. The tree will grow.
