When Calls the Heart · Season 1
Gentlemen! How fortunate to find you all together!
How can we help you, Miss Thatcher?
I am here on official Christmas business.
Which is?
Well, so far none of the men in this town have stepped forward to play Santa on Christmas Eve. So I don't care how you boys do it. Just find someone to volunteer.
Yes, ma'am.
I just wish I had more time to spend with Cody.
Well, if you don't have a gift for him yet, I happen to know he really wants a dog.
[pause] He's getting a baseball cap.
Gentlemen! How're we gonna settle this?
Darts.
Loser wears the big red suit.
So who goes first?
I feel lucky.
Throws the first dart, which completely misses the board, apparently on purpose.
Well, I guess we know who's playing Santa.
Penny for your thoughts.
I'll give 'em to you for free: Rip desperately needs a bath; I hope Abigail made scones this morning; and you look absolutely beautiful.
You know, it isn't a good idea to make a woman blush when you're rowing.
Why's that?
Because she might just kiss you, and then you'd drop the oars.
Well, then we'd be stuck in the middle of the pond all day.
A woman mayor. That's different.
Well, we like to be different here.
Did you complain about these things to Henry Gowen?
He wouldn't listen! But I knew you would understand.
I hurt my knee. I can't run.
Well, then we'll just have to find something else that we can all do together.
But all the other kids really wanna play, and I don't want them to be mad at me.
Oh, no, I won't let that happen.
It always happens! Please, Miss Thatcher, you can't stop the game. Not 'cause of me.
You said he likes baseball. Why not make him your assistant coach?
Can I do that?
Why not? And I will make Opal my assistant coach.
Oh, she'd love that! As long as Brownie can help coach, too.
And I've been thinking about where we can play: the field next to Abigail's.
The field next to Abigail's! But will there be enough room for the goalposts?
The goalposts?! [laughs] OK, you had me going there for a second.
Always keep your opponent off balance. I read that in The Art of War.
Oh, so this is war?
Prepare for defeat.
This land's full of rocks!...I'm a farmer, Mr. Avery. The only thing a man can grow here is old.
Good try, Laura!
Do you have any idea how infuriating you can be?
All's fair in love and war.
So which is this?
Little of both.
Wanna see a special pitch?
But you're not on my team.
I think it's O.K. Miss Thatcher said we're supposed to be one big family.
Robert's my hero!
Opal's parents gave it to me. It's a reward.
Wow, a whole dollar!
What should I do?
You could spend it on candy.
Don't you get it?! They think I'm a hero, but I'm not.
Of course you are! You scared away that bear!
No, I didn't. I made it up. There was no bear.
There wasn't a bear?!
No.
Then why did you say there was?
Opal wouldn't come inside, so I tried to scare her.
Better tell Miss Thatcher.
I can't tell! She'll hate me! Do you think Constable Thornton is gonna arrest me?
I don't know. Miss Abigail says lying is bad.
I can't go to jail! My parents will kill me!
Going somewhere?
I'm running away.
Sounds serious.
Yeah, it's bad.
Guess you got a plan, right? Place to live, job lined up.
No. I guess I'll just be a drifter.
That's not any kinda life. Unless of course you join a gang, rob banks. There's always that.
I don't think my parents would let me.
