Stay inside, Sarah.

Jacob, no!

No! No! Stop! Stop!

Jacob, don't do this!

Sarah...

Jacob, don't...

don't...

Sarah!

Don't do this, Jacob!

All he wants

is water!

That's all he wants

is some water!

That's all!

He's not going

to hurt anything!

He just wants some water!

(sobbing):

He just wants water!

He wants water!

He just wants water!

Caleb...

Water! he just

wants water!

Put the animals

in the barn.

Sarah:

That's all he wants!

He just wants water.

I can't... I can't stand it!

(sobbing)

Anna, get something

for Sarah to drink.

Anna, now!

(Sarah crying)

Sarah:

Water...

(gasping)

Sarah, it's all right.

IT'S OKAY.

(gasping)

Sarah, it's all right.

It's all right, Sarah.

Everything will be all right.

(kids laughing)

Anna? Caleb?

What is this?

Happy birthday, Sarah.

Anna:

And there are

presents, Sarah.

But I'm not dressed.

Well, get dressed.

Come on.

Woman 1:

You're just in time.

Woman 2:

Hello.

What is that?

You'll see.

Woman 3:

Here she is.

Happy birthday, Sarah.

All:

Happy birthday, Sarah.

A present...

from the aunts.

(Italian opera playing)

(crowd clapping)

Bye!

Thanks for having us.

Bye!

(chuckles)

Get ready for bed, Anna.

I have a present

for you, Sarah.

Sarah.

Come on.

(grunts)

(lamb bleating)

Anna, what is it?

It's a book I

wrote about you.

About our family.

"When my mother...

"Sarah...

"...came here,

she came by train.

"I didn't know I'd love her,

but my brother, Caleb, knew.

"Papa didn't know, either,

but he does love her, I know.

"I've seen them kiss...

"...and I have heard

the sound of his voice

"when he talks to her and seeing

his hand touch her hair.

"My mother, Sarah, loves us

"but she does not love

the prairie.

"She tries,

but she can't help it.

She can't help remembering

what she knew first."

Do you like it?

I like it.

Thank you.

It was a fine

party, Jacob.

I'd almost forgotten music.

Where's the glass?

Caleb's glass?

Put it back, Jacob, please.

It should be there

when it rains.

I'm sorry to be going

and be leaving you.

You'll be back.

I'll miss you.

(sobbing):

We'll be back.

Put your bonnet on.

We'll be back.

(baby crying)

Hyah. Giddap.

Giddap.

Hyah!

(thunder crashing)

(dog barking)

Sarah!

(horses neighing)

Grab those sacks!

Pour water on them.

Hurry.

Come on, get out!

Go on! Get out!

Go on!

Get out!

Go on!

(cows mooing)

(whinnying)

Get the cows!

Come on.

(mooing)

Oh! Oh!

Oh! Jacob!

Get me water!

Get back!

Buckets!

(panting)

Be careful!

Get buckets!

I'm coming!

Coming!

Jacob, here!

Jacob!

Give that to me!

Give me that!

It's no use!

It's our

last barrel!

(dog barking)
