Love comes softly

Loves comes softly by Michael Landon Jr.

Marty: It’s been almost a year since i left my home in the east and traveled west with the man i loved. I was positive about my future full of hopes and dreams. Our eyes were always on the end of the trail as if life as I envisioned it would be just that. In fact, if someone had told me that I would find myself here today I would have called them crazy.I was sure of my self and where I was headed stubborn and full of pride. I was in control. Or so I thought.
Aaron: Quit acting like a kid, Marty. Get back here.
Marty: No. Not until you admit that I am right and head this way
Aaron: We´re going in the right direction.
Marty: We´re going north.
Aaron: Mr. Grahan said to go north.
Marty: he said to go northwest. Don´t you think it’s strangewe haven´t come upon yet?
Aaron: Well, we’d be there already if the weight of these books hadn´t slowed us down.
Marty: those books will provide us with culture once we get settled.
Aaron:It´s too bad we can´t eat any of that culture. That 200 pounds of beans and rice that we had to toss off the wagon to lessen the weight would taste a whole lot better right now than the 200 pounds of books wegot!
Marty: none of this would have happened if you hadn´t talked me into coming out here to the middle of nowhere, Aaron Claridge!
Aaron: we both know that you don´t do anything you don´t want to do. For once in your life be reasonable.
Marty: I´m tired, sick and tired of the dirt and miles that seem to lead nowhere and the layers of dust on my skin, aching feet, aching back. If I never sitin that wagon again, it´ll be all right by me.
Aaron: Marty
Marty: I see
Aaron: It´s exactly like I pictured. Can you see it? Just over there.
Marty: A cabin, with curtains in the windows.
Aaron: and over here, a barn.
Marty: and a garden where we´ll grow our own food
Aaron: those trees are just made for swings for all those kids who are gonna look just like their mama.
Marty: I don´t mindif they look like their father
Aaron: we did it. We actually did it, Marty. This just feels right, doesn´t it? This will be the perfect place to raise a family. Pass down the land to our children and give them opportunities that are limitless.
Marty: we can do anything as long as we´re together.
Aaron: promise me that even if things get rough we´ll remind each other of that, okay?
Marty: Ipromise.
Aaron: Dad blames it. Marty, one of the horses got away.
Marty: Oh, no, Aaron.
Aaron: I’m taking the other horse and I´m going after him. Shouldn´t be gone too long. He´s probably just a ways downstream.
Marty: i´m coming with you.
Aaron: no need. I´ll be back with the horse before breakfast. Make up a lot of pancakes. I´ll be hungry.
Got ya. Hyah!! Come on! Hyah! come on! lets go!Hyah! Come on Come on lets go hyah! Hyah!
Aaron´s voice: Marty.
Ben: Whoa whoa. Miss Claridge. Ben. Ben Graham, ma’am. Met you a couple days back. Found him about an hour ago.
Miss claridge. Can´t I get you some water? Ma’am? Miss Claridge. Well, I guess you´ll be needing time to think, my wife will see to your husband. The preacher´s leaving tomorrow. I can bring him back here first thing inthe morning to say a few words. Oh.
Marty: we´re fine. We´re fine. we´re fine. We´re fine.
Sarah: hellow? Mrs. Claridge. Marty. It´s me Sarah graham, Ben´s wife. You met me a couple days ago. Marty it’s time. We need to start your husband’s funeral. We don’t want to be starting it without you.
Marty: I can’t do this.
Sarah: you have to do this.
Marty: I would appreciate just a moment, please.Sarah: we’ll wait.
Man: aaron Claridge journeyed west in search of a dream. His untimely death means that one journey is over. Another has just begun.
Sarah: winter is coming, and there’s a no wagon train heading east till spring. I don’t know how you’re fixed for money to broad in town, but you’re gonna have to make a decision and soon. Well, you take tonight and think on it, and Ben’ll come...
