Plus One at an Amish Wedding (2022) Movie Script
1
Espresso.
Fat free double cappuccino.
Why is taking so long?
His frost machine's acting up.
He can't get Mario, the repair
guy in until this afternoon.
I'm kind of a regular here.
I'm kind of late for work.
Matcha latte, almond milk.
Sorry, that's my order.
Mine too.
I know how to solve this.
I also ordered a.
Cinnamon and raisin bagel.
So did I.
Go ahead?
No, are you sure?
Yeah, you're a hurry.
Okay, well, thank you.
Thanks.
Thanks.
The feeling in your chest,
would you describe that
as more of a sharp pain,
a heaviness or.
More of a tightness.
It only lasts for a few minutes.
And it usually happens right
after I take my dog, Miss Lily,
for her nightly walk.
Okay.
Well, your cholesterol
has cropped up a bit
over the last few checkups.
Now I hear you make a mean steak tartar.
Your husband told me all about it.
And blamed a lot of things on it.
So I think if you can just
make a few less dishes like that
and make a couple other dietary changes,
you and Mr. Beauregard
should be able to enjoy many
more healthy years together.
Assuming you want to.
I do.
How are the grandkids?
The grandkids are wonderful.
Did you get to have
that graduation party?
- April.
- Yeah,
there were balloons and.
Why aren't you in room 223.
What's in room 223?
Your next patient
waiting, patiently.
Mr. Shepherd.
But I thought he wasn't in until 11.
I had it moved up to help
you keep shorter appointments.
Just a second.
I'm just gonna help Mrs.
Beauregard schedule her EKG.
Reception would be happy
to help you with that.
That's why they're here.
Isn't he a charmer?
Sorry, Mrs. B.
Dr. Schneider was
just being himself.
Aunt April, Aunt April.
Oh, Zeke what happened?
Scout ran off
and a car hit him.
Can you help?
Oh sweetie, I'm not
that kind of doctor.
What you need is a doctor for animals.
There's a
veterinarian up on 82nd,
that's where I take my Miss Lily.
Boys, they'll get you a ride
home, right over there, okay.
- This way.
- All right, come on Zeke,
just this way.
Excuse me, sorry, excuse me.
Hi, I am so sorry to interrupt.
My nephew's dog was just hit by a car.
Is there a vet available
that could help him maybe.
Oh, let me see what I can do.
All of our doctors are
with patients right now.
Okay.
Not all of them.
You.
Come on back.
Excuse me.
He'll need to be
in a cast for a few weeks,
but after that, he'll be
ready to rock and roll.
Hear that boy,
you're gonna be okay.
Now, what is Scout's
favorite color.
Dogs are color blind.
Humor me.
How about,
Orange?
Orange it is.
Orange it is.
So mom, Scout will probably
need some pain medication.
Oh no, not mom,
aunt, Zeke's aunt,
Scouts too, I guess.
I'm April.
Jesse.
Nice to meet you.
Hey Zeke, you should
probably call mom
and let her know what happened.
How was your bagel?
Worth the wait.
I wanted to thank
you for this morning
and for squeezing us in just now.
No worries, just doing my job.
Speaking of, I should
probably be getting back to mine,
Beecher Hospital.
That's a wonder why
we matched, again.
So, can I give you a
card for the cast, X-rays and?
Oh, reception
handles the payment.
Right, of course.
But I don't mind
getting your phone number.
Hold up, love birds,
no toasting without us.
Oh, go easy on 'em May.
Remember when we used to be like that?
I still have the slow
jam playlist, to prove it.
All right, happy birthday
to my old sister.
Cheers.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Do you still need
a few more minutes?
Oh no, I'll have the Bucatini.
Flounder for me.
Could I get this
Florentine steak, medium rare?
Oh, and I don't want the
seared artichokes on this side.
I'll also take the
Florentine steak, medium rare,
but I definitely want
the seared artichokes.
Ooh, could you put my
artichokes on his plate?
Sure thing.
Thank you.
I love the way you think.
What's not to love?
You got yourself
a good one, Jesse.
And I have to say, I think
April finally met her match.
Oh, thanks Rob.
Well, you and May set a great example.
Oh, you didn't see us
chasing Zeke and Scout
at the house earlier.
But we still make it work.
Oh and Zeke thinks you
hung the moon, Jesse.
I mean, he only talks
about wanting to be a vet.
Yeah, did you
always wanna be a vet?
I've always had a
heart for animals.
Did you have many
pets growing up?
Were your parents like animal people?
I guess you could say that.
Well, since we're all here.
The gift.
Oh, show off.
April, since the day
that you came into my office,
you have made me the
happiest man in the world,
besides Rob, obviously.
So.
Oh, Paris.
We leave two
weeks from Friday,
but we can transfer the tickets
if you can't get the time off.
Are you kidding me?
I haven't taken a
vacation in like a year.
Yes, let's do it.
Nice one Romeo.
How did I get so lucky
to find someone like you?
The part of the date
gets such sweet sorrow.
I can't wait for Paris.
Thank you again.
You're working so hard.
Your situation at Beecher isn't ideal
and you've always wanted to go.
You deserve it.
As usual, you've
read me like a book.
Just wish you were that easy.
What do you mean?
Sorry, nothing.
Must be the champagne talking.
Goodnight. Dr. Hardin.
Good night, Dr. Monroe.
Anemia is super common,
especially with new mothers.
I thought I was just
tired from the baby.
You wanna see some pictures?
He's just starting to crawl.
Do I wanna see some pictures?
Yes, please.
Oh my goodness.
He is so big.
I know.
April.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Next month.
Yes.
- Don't forget.
- See then, I promise.
Okay.
What can I do for
you Dr. Schneider?
We've discussed this already.
Our doctors don't have leisure time
to spend with individual patients.
I understand that, but
I make better diagnoses
when I get to know my patients.
They appreciate it too.
April,
we have quotas to fill.
Our job is to treat
patients not befriend them.
Am I being clear?
Yes, Dr. Schneider.
April, I cannot
go at this pace.
If you had told me we were
training for the Olympics,
I would've worn better shoes.
Sorry, sis.
What's got you so amped up?
Dr. Schneider, He's on me
again about patient turnover.
I guess first
job's always stink,
Even when you're a doctor.
He just treats me like
I'm a part of a machine.
I think the best way to treat people
is to treat them like people.
But that takes time.
And I don't know.
Maybe medicine just isn't
what I thought it was gonna be?
I don't know if I really belong there.
You do.
You just have a big heart.
I remember when you would
bring home all of those strays
when we were kids.
Maybe that's why you're dating a vet.
Oh.
How is Mr. Wonderful, anyway?
That was a pretty serious
gift the other night.
He's great.
He's better than great.
For the first time, I
feel like I'm with someone
who really gets me.
But?
But, I just don't
know if I get him.
He hasn't told me
anything about his past.
I haven't met his family.
Maybe there's a reason
he's not opening up.
What's what I afraid of.
You know what I mean?
Some people's paths are painful.
It's not like everybody
grew up in suburban New Jersey.
I'm sure he'll open up when he is ready.
And he obviously adores you.
There's no mystery about that.
All right, break's over.
Come on, you promised
me two miles, let's go.
Coffee at the end, coffee at the end.
Coffee at the end.
I don't know, maybe
it is time for a change,
but how do I know if a different hospital
is gonna be any better?
And if I do transfer
this early in my career,
what's that gonna look like?
What do you think I should do?
Listen to your heart.
I hardly have time to listen
to the new Taylor Swift
album, let alone my heart.
Hey, are you okay?
You seem a little distracted.
We need to reschedule Paris.
What, why?
I got a letter
from my brother.
He's getting married this weekend.
Oh, wow.
I didn't know you had a
brother or any family actually.
I mean, obviously you have a family, but.
I'm sorry, did you say a letter,
like with stamps?
There's a lot that I
haven't told you about me.
About my past.
Really?
I'm Amish.
Come again.
I was raised Amish in
Stone County, Pennsylvania.
My whole family, my
mother, my brother and sister,
everyone I grew up with, Amish.
That's unexpected.
I left home on
Rumspringa when I was 16.
That's when we decide
between staying Amish or going English.
I loved my family, my
community, I still do.
Part of me, really wanted to stay,
but I wanted things that
they couldn't offer.
So I chose,
all this.
I need to go home.
It would mean a lot to
my brother, to me too.
I understand.
And I appreciate you opening
up to me about all of this.
You're not
totally freaked out?
I'm pretty surprised, yes,
but not totally freaked out, no,
not yet, anyway.
Good.
Because I want you to go with me.
I'm crazy about you.
And I would love for you to meet my family.
That isn't that weird, is it?
He grew up
without electricity,
in the 21st century.
Lots of people
grow up without electricity.
Like?
Like all around the world.
He's from Pennsylvania.
Sorry, sorry.
He could have been hiding a
lot worse than a butter churn.
I'm just happy that he finally opened up.
I don't know if I can do this.
What, why?
I don't know the first
thing about the Amish.
What if his family, you know.
What?
Judges me?
Well, I know all about that.
So does Rob.
Won't be the first time
you've had to help a family
accept someone from a different background.
It's not the same thing.
I'm just trying to say
that you have a good heart
and Jesse's family will see that.
I guess so.
And as for the
Amish and their ways,
I'm sure Jesse will show you
everything you need to know.
And I might be able to
help you a little bit.
Well, like the Amish
don't show too much skin.
So I would go with more dresses and,
dresses.
What makes you the expert?
Remember my quilting phase?
Rob and I spent a
weekend in Stone County
a couple years back.
We totally fell in love with the place.
The Amish have their quirks,
but they're are really nice people.
It's a really tight knit community.
Good, well then maybe you can
recommend a place we could stay?
Well, I have just a spot.
We stayed at this adorable B&B
and I made friends with the owner.
We still exchange Christmas cards.
I will text her.
Don't be scared.
You're gonna have so much fun up there.
I promise.
Not bad, huh?
Beautiful.
Oh.
A horse and buggy.
Yep.
Home sweet home.
Oh, this place is so cute.
I know right.
Hey Jesse.
Leroy.
How are you?
I'm good, how are you doing?
Good to see you.
Good to see you too.
Huh?
Okay, no way are we just getting one pie.
These are whoopie pies.
These are coming with us.
All right, let's do it.
Oh.
That's a blueberry muffin.
I know what a
blueberry muffin is.
If you wanna get really Amish,
I would go with the
shoofly pie, over there.
There aren't actually
flies though in it, right?
Just molasses.
That's perfect.
Ah.
All right.
Can we get an apple
crumb and a rhubarb too?
Mom's favorite?
It's been a while since
I've seen you Jesse.
I'm just back
for Levi's wedding
and for your pie, of course.
Do you know
everyone around here?
Not everyone.
Jesse, hey.
Hey, Rebecca, good to see you.
You too, how are you?
I'm great, how are you doing?
I'm good.
Good to see you, take care.
You too.
Okay, almost everyone.
It's hard not to in a small town.
It's adorable.
Thank you.
Mrs. Fisher.
Pennsylvania, Dutch,
it means see you later.
Is there anything else
you think I should know
before I meet the family?
Most of the Amish don't
listen to popular music.
So they've never heard of
Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley.
Taylor Swift.
Yeah, exactly.
Don't get your heart set on dancing
to a love Song at the wedding.
On the plus side,
gonna be a lot of food to eat.
What else should I know?
Well, they don't really
pave their driveways either.
Okay.
Is this it?
This is home,
used to be anyways.
Man, this place was my whole universe.
Working the farm, going to church,
reading by candle light,
spending time with my family.
Life was a lot simpler
then, a lot easier.
I still can't picture you
with one of those big hats and long beards.
Only bearded men work here.
You should've seen my dad's though,
looked like a member of ZZ Top.
What was that?
Do we have a spare?
Must have.
I'll take a look.
You Englishers get lost?
You're responsible
for the booby trap?
The booby trap?
I knew I'd forgotten something.
I'm sorry, Bruder.
Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Levi this is April,
the girlfriend.
Please to meet you,
April the girlfriend.
I'm honored you can make
it out to my wedding.
I'm honored to be here.
You and Sarah must be so excited.
Yes ma'am, Sarah and I
are very much looking forward to it.
Jesse.
Rachel.
Hi.
April, this is Rachel,
my baby sister.
Younger sister.
It's so nice to meet you.
We brought plenty of treats.
So maybe you can help me
take on this whoopie pie.
Nothing from New York City?
Not this time.
I'm sorry.
Rachel is just
beginning her Rumspringa.
She's very curious of the English lately.
So what if I am?
Easy, Schwester.
It's great that you wanna
learn more about the English world,
but there's a lot of
things that you'd miss here too.
Trust me.
If you say so.
Rach, why don't you
take April inside,
Jesse and I can move the
car from the driveway
for the guests coming tonight.
Yeah.
Why don't we take
care of the car later?
I wanna see mom.
Yes, well do not expect
the warmest of welcomes.
She's still upset
about Naomi Trotter.
Rachel.
Naomi Trotter?
Friend.
We up to together.
Amish mothers, pride themselves
in their matchmaking skills.
And Mom set me up with Naomi
when we were basically
still in diapers.
But she's married, happily married.
No, her husband
passed away last year.
She's back on the market.
Oh, sorry to hear that.
So am I.
It'll be all right, April.
There's a rhubarb pie in there, jah.
Jah.
I mean, yeah, yes.
Good.
As soon as Mom sees it,
she'll forget Naomi, guaranteed.
That's true.
Come on, whoopie pie.
Yeah, thank you.
They're just back here, thank you.
There you are Rachel.
I need you to start on the cabbage rolls.
You said I could take a break.
You did, now it's over.
What in heaven's name is that?
It's a rhubarb pie from.
Jesse Hardin.
Didn't expect me to show
up empty handed, did you?
Never know what to
expect from you, boy.
I really should
go grab that rake.
See you all later.
You are too thin.
Glad you've returned for some real food.
Mom, this is my
girlfriend, April.
April, this is my mother Esther.
Mrs. Hardin.
It's a pleasure
to meet you, ma'am.
You have such a lovely home.
Not quite,
been working day night to
get it ready for the wedding.
Have sore joints all week.
Wash those first, Rachel.
What are you cooking?
You'll find out it's supper.
Besides I imagine my son
hasn't taught you much of Amish cooking.
No, but he did tell me
all about rhubarb pie.
I've never tried it before.
What kind of woman's
never tried to rhubarb pie?
Mom.
I apologize.
You must have much more
worldly pleasures in New York.
I like to try
everything at least once.
Of course you do.
Seems like you're pretty busy.
So we'll settle in and
I'll give April a tour.
She's not staying, is she?
The house is completely full.
I have a room in town,
at the Country Oaks bed and breakfast.
Kinda figured, no girlfriend's allowed.
I can pitch in, in the
kitchen, if you want.
Pretty good with my hands.
April's a doctor.
That's awesome.
Rachel,
what have I said about English slang?
Beg your pardon, Mom.
Your chosen profession is
exceedingly commendable.
Thanks.
Thank you April but we
will be quite all right.
But should I cut myself,
you will be first to know.
So do the Amish
actually raise barns?
They do.
And put one up in a day
when the whole community
comes together.
This one,
this one took us three.
Wow.
You built this?
Oh, I held the nails for Dad.
I was only about five-years-old.
It's beautiful.
Last stop,
Hardin pond.
Levi and I used to go fishing here.
Not much to catch, but once in a while
we'd have something for
mom to cook up for supper.
I always felt bad for the fish though.
Born animal lover.
Strange being
here without Dad.
We never really got each
other, but I miss the guy.
I always hoped that we could make peace.
Still hope that Mom and I can.
I'm sure you will.
Thanks, but our
families are different.
Yours gets along.
My family's had
some hard times too.
Rob and May got engaged in college.
Neither set of parents was a excited
about them getting married so young
or being from quote,
"Different backgrounds."
Your parents love Rob.
Well now they do.
But it took a long time
for them to open their minds
and make some much needed apologies.
Luckily, Rob and May
found it in their hearts
to give them a second chance.
I had no idea.
Well, there's some
things from my past
that I don't like to
think about much either.
But if my family can
reconcile their differences,
I have a feeling yours can too.
Jesse, April.
Hey, what's with
all the celery?
Cream celery.
It's traditional at weddings.
Like mash potatoes at Thanksgiving.
But much more delicious.
A celery garden can
be the only way to know
when a wedding's coming up.
Amish couples are very secretive,
which is why this one didn't
write me until the last minute.
You know, I've never
been one to break tradition.
Wow.
It is just so beautiful out here.
I could really get used to this.
Careful, pretty soon
they'll have you up
to milk the cows at 4 a.m.
Levi, Jesse,
Mom says to bring what you have,
we have to get ready for supper.
Already?
Amish eat early.
I wasn't kidding about
that 4 a.m milking.
Do you think I should have
worn something a little more?
Amish?
I'm feeling a
little out of place.
You look great.
If it wouldn't scandalize
my entire family,
I'd totally kiss you right now.
You're the best.
Good afternoon, Levi.
Afternoon.
You must be Sarah.
Blessing to meet you.
Same here.
Daniel Trotter, an old
friend of the family.
Didn't know we'd have the pleasure today.
Well, I suppose your
mother didn't tell you.
We only received a dinner
invitation yesterday.
We?
Do you think I should
ask your mom again
if she needs some help?
Jesse.
Jesse.
Naomi.
Naomi,
Trotter?
Jesse.
It's been a long time.
I had no idea you were coming.
Your mother invited us.
We've always been close,
especially this past year.
I'm sorry about your husband.
Thank you.
He was a good man.
Dad, you remember Jesse?
I do, the young man who
brought my daughter home
from many frolics.
Frolics?
Daniel, Naomi, this is April.
The girlfriend.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Of course, Mrs. Hardin's
told me all about you.
Oh, none of it's true.
No.
I've always gotten Mrs. Hardin
to be a reliable judge of character.
Oh, I was joking.
So then all of it was true?
Naomi, there you are.
Hello Daniel.
Esther.
I hate to interrupt
this little reunion,
but I need someone who's
actually useful in the kitchen.
No problem.
See Jesse, April.
Some things never change.
You were born hungry, Jesse Hardin.
They don't make food
like this in New York.
Pass the butter.
But of course.
April, tell me about yourself.
What do you do in the English country?
I'm a doctor.
That must be rewarding work.
It is.
Feels good to help people.
Sometimes it's hard, you know,
when a patient isn't doing well,
or when someone up to me at a dinner party
and wants me to check out
their cough for their weird rash.
If one of you has a rash though.
No rashes here, but your
offer is very much appreciated.
To be honest, we Amish,
we do not put much stock
in English medicine.
Some Amish.
The older, more stubborn ones.
Never seen a
doctor in my life.
And I've always been perfectly healthy.
Didn't you mention
something earlier
about having so joints?
You know, with the
leaves turning color,
the wedding should be beautiful.
We have natural remedies
for such ailments.
Well, if that's
not working for you,
a doctor could probably
prescribe something better.
We don't tell Englishers
how to lead their lives.
We are content to leave
well enough alone.
Would be nice, if
they'd return the favor.
We stay out of their lives.
Why can't they stay out of ours?
April.
Excuse me.
Just.
Come on.
No cars available?
This really is Amish country.
April.
What are you doing?
I never should have come here.
Nobody wants me here.
Hold on.
I want you here.
Mom's just, just.
Trying to make me look bad
so she can marry you off to Naomi Trotter.
Seems like it.
But don't worry about Mom.
She hates me.
She doesn't hate you.
Okay, I appreciate
that you're trying to
make a good impression,
but if I really cared
what my mother thought,
I never would've left.
It's you I care about.
Really?
Come on, let's go back inside.
No, not tonight anyway.
I still need to check into the B&B
and I'll have a lot more
energy for your family
after a good night's sleep.
Whatever you want.
Just one problem,
how do I get there?
Oh no.
- Oh yes.
- No.
Aha.
No way.
Yeah.
Is everything all right?
Yeah.
I thought this would be a little slower.
We're going pretty slow.
Okay.
Come on, it's not that scary.
Its not exactly a
merry-go-round either.
All right, all right.
Think I know a way to get
us there a little bit faster.
You know a shortcut?
Nope.
Thank you.
I could take it from here bell boy.
It's getting dark, you should
probably get back to the farm.
Oh, well, I guess we'll
see you in the morning.
Night Dr. Monroe.
Night. Dr. Hardin.
Are you sure you're gonna be
okay going back in the dark?
I think I'll be fine.
All right.
I'll see you in the morning.
Rachel.
This is not the time to go off by yourself,
we have too much to do.
Sorry.
What is that?
Nothing.
Where did you get this?
Did your brother bring
it from New York?
You tell me Rachel Hardin.
I bought it, in town.
Why are you so
fascinated with the English?
Why are you so against them?
I need you to go to market.
Take my list and some money.
I need the receipt.
Thanks so much,
I appreciate it.
Thank you, thank you, I appreciate it, bye.
Is there any breakfast left?
You bet.
Come on in.
You're April, right?
Yeah.
Your sister May gave me a
heads up and a history lesson.
Sit.
Oh, thanks.
My husband, Bill,
must have checked you in late last night.
I'm Tabby we own the place.
So how's your stay?
Perfect.
I slept like a log last night.
I don't think I woke up once.
Pretty sure I could spend
my whole trip in bed.
That's Stone County for you.
Lots of peace, quiet and Amish furniture.
Plenty of Amish,
that's for sure.
So not to pry,
but how is it with Hardins?
I am so sorry to hear that.
Some Amish can be so
stubborn about modern medicine,
about anything modern for that fact.
Frankly, I wish there were
more doctors around here.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
If only miss his
harden felt the same.
At least you have Jesse.
He's in your corner.
Seems like a really great guy.
He is.
Which is why he still
really want his mom to like me.
The Amish are good people.
They just don't take easily to outsiders.
Just give them the little
time, that's all it takes.
When Bill and I first moved here,
we didn't feel like part of the community
for like ever, it seemed.
Now we got a lot of Amish friends.
Where do you think I got
that pancake recipe from?
Oh, that must be Jesse.
Yeah.
Thank you for
everything, Tabby.
Anytime.
Go get 'em girl, you got this.
Hey stranger.
Oh, Rachel, hi.
Jesse's helping the
men set up for tomorrow.
So we asked me to get you.
We also have to pick up
some groceries for Mom too.
Okay, sure.
Okay.
Okay.
No offense,
but are you sure you're
old enough to drive this thing?
You don't need a license
for a horse and buggy.
Oh gosh, maybe you should.
We just need to
get a few things.
Hey guys.
Hey.
I thought he Amish wore pants.
Rumspringa.
What's all the cheese for?
Macaroni and cheese,
Levi specifically requested it.
The Amish eat mac and cheese?
As much as possible.
Wow, you guys are
full of surprises.
So tell me about
English weddings.
What do you wanna know?
Everything.
Do the brides always wear
those beautiful white dresses?
Most of the time.
And the groom wears a tuxedo.
There's usually a nice ceremony
followed by a big party
with lots of dancing
and champagne
and cake,
with a little plastic
bride and groom on top.
Then later the bride will throw her bouquet
to all of the single women
and the one who
catches it, supposedly,
will be the next to be married.
You mean their mothers
don't decide for them?
Sounds amazing.
I bet Amish weddings
are a lot of fun too.
They'd be more
fun with dancing.
Jesse told me that most Amish
don't really listen to mainstream music.
Well the church
lets us bend the rules
a little during Rumspringa.
Me and my friends listen
to the radio all the time.
I love Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift.
Yes, girl.
Fist bump.
She just sounds so
full of life and so free.
I get that.
I really do.
But even in the English world,
no one is happy and free all the time.
Sometimes our world is
loud, busy, crazy and crowded.
A lot of times it's just downright scary.
It can be hard to really
get to know people
where to find your place.
But don't listen to me or
your mom or even Taylor Swift.
In the end, you gotta
do what's right for you.
Thanks April.
Anytime.
By the way, what Mom
said last night about doctors,
I hope you know, she
wasn't speaking for all of us.
I like doctors,
one, anyway.
Thanks Rachel
that means a lot.
Anytime.
Now onto much more important matters,
ever try Amish rock candy?
No.
Okay, we're gonna
need a lot of those.
Levi.
Your mother's looking for you.
You and Sarah need to go over the seating
for the head table.
Well I thought
we'd been over this?
Is she in the kitchen?
Where else?
It's been a long time
since we've attended a wedding together.
Eli and Emily Yoders,
if I correctly recall.
I'm sure you do.
And you don't.
No distant memories flooding back?
A few.
I'm sure you have a nice
life back in New York, but,
you'll always have a home here.
Excuse me.
Whoa, now
I think we bought everything
that they had in the whole store.
I think we bought it all.
I can't believe, I think we got it all
than when she was like.
Thank you.
As a doctor of
veterinary science,
I insist you take it easy on that horse.
He's just getting
some exercise.
Don't be hypocrite.
Rachel's not the only
Hardin with a need for speed.
Fair enough.
You guys get everything you needed?
And then some.
April bought a pound of rock candy.
I
did that.
Maybe if you're nice,
I'll share some with you.
See you inside.
Thanks Rachel.
See, told you my family
would fall for you.
We had a great time together.
She kind of reminds me of you.
Yeah.
Don't tell Mom that.
Rock candy?
I pegged you for a city
slicker April Monroe,
but I have to say small
town life's good on you.
Yeah, well, it's kind of fun
to try on for a little while.
You think about this stuff,
your wedding day?
No.
What, you think every woman
fantasizes about her wedding day?
Okay, fine.
I really want like a big
Barbie Dream house wedding,
white silk dress with a mermaid tale,
jazz quartet that would obviously
cover Taylor Swift songs.
And next to the wedding cake,
a giant tower of rock candy.
Happy?
Good to know.
Why, is that something
you think about?
April,
I have a surprise for you.
Surprise?
Go ahead.
We all have a little work
to do out here still.
Okay.
Ta-da.
What's this for?
The wedding.
Winning over Mom might be easier
if you looked a little more like us.
This is her old dress.
Still in good condition though.
Oh, I would love to wear it,
but you really think that would be okay?
Why not?
She can't wear it.
Do you have a mirror?
The Amish don't use mirrors.
Oh right.
Well how do I look?
Naomi Trotter's gonna be
shaking in her prayer cap.
Rachel, are you up there?
What are you doing with that?
Oh, Rachel was
gonna let me wear it
for the wedding tomorrow.
You absolutely cannot.
Mom, you never wear it.
Doesn't mean you can
loan it out to just anyone.
Kitchen now.
Sorry April.
Sorry, April?
You should apologize to your mother.
This dress was not yours to give.
I wanted to help her.
I like her.
You like anything English.
And if you continue down
this road, mark my words,
it will lead you trouble.
Your place is here.
Well that's for me
to decide now isn't it?
Mrs. Hardin, I didn't
mean to offend you.
Rachel was just trying
to help me blend in.
You are English, we are
Amish, you will never blend in.
I'm sorry.
Mrs. Hardin, are you okay?
I'm quite well, thank you.
Come here, please sit down.
Could someone please get
her a glass of water?
Thank you.
Better?
Have you had many
episodes like this before?
Lightheadedness, trouble breathing?
A few.
And when do these
usually happen to you?
Around mealtimes, I suppose.
And did all of this come
on around the same time
as the sore joints?
I need to get back to work.
Mom.
Mrs. Hardin, I know you
probably don't wanna hear this,
but I think you could
have adult onset diabetes.
I'd recommend running some
tests as soon possible.
I'm fine.
Diabetes can be very serious
if you don't get it treated.
Now, if that's what this is,
a doctor's probably gonna tell you
to make some changes to your diet.
And I'm happy to make some
recommendations as well.
April.
I do not think I speak
more plainly when I say,
I'm not interested in your medical opinions
or anyone else's.
Do not bring this up again.
Thank you for the glass of water.
Of course.
And April,
you may wear my dress tomorrow.
Thank you, ma'am.
Hard to
believe, my little Bruder
will be a married man this time tomorrow.
I'm glad you're here, Jesse.
I know you have a busy life
and well thank you for making the time.
I'm never too busy for family.
I imagine wedding bells
aren't too far in the
future for you either.
We'll see.
Be honest, Bruder, I've
seen you and April together.
What are your intentions with her?
I've been carrying
this around for a while?
Waiting for the right time to ask her.
Might just be this weekend,
if that's all right with you.
Of course.
April is a good woman
and you have my approval.
Rachel's too, I'm sure.
Appreciate that.
You know, I must
admit it's bittersweet.
You and I starting these new lives.
Soon we'll have children
that could grow up
running around together,
well, if we didn't live so far apart.
I didn't realize how
much I'd missed this place.
I'm sorry that I haven't
come around more often.
I hope I can change that.
No, it's okay, Bruder.
We're on different paths.
We've always have been.
It was a passing thought.
Thank you for all
your help today.
I have one last request.
Finish up.
There's dishwashing to be done
and we all should be in bed early.
It's a big day tomorrow.
I can take you
back to the inn.
Got a new tire this morning.
Oh, that's great.
Just one thing.
What?
I kinda wanna go in the buggy.
I thought it made you nervous?
It does.
But it's important to face your fears.
You're right.
It is.
You're doing great.
Just keep it tight and steady.
Tight and steady.
I'm gonna let
go now, all right?
Okay.
Tight and steady, tight
and steady, tight and steady.
This isn't so scary.
See.
Take the back route,
it's just right up there.
You didn't say
anything about steering.
It's okay.
The view up there
is almost as beautiful
as the view down here.
You just never see stars
like this in the city.
You know, I don't know
if I ever realized everything
that I lost by leaving.
But I've gained a lot too.
I could see
myself settling down
in a small town like this, someday.
Really?
What about New York?
Oh, shh, just let me
fantasize for a minute.
I could open my own practice,
one without so many patients.
You could open one right next door
and then we could meet
every day for lunch.
And after work, we could go home
to an adorable little
house with lots of fresh air.
Does sound pretty nice.
This has been so great.
Thank you so much for bringing me here.
I never would've guessed
this side of you,
but I love it.
April, there's something
that I've wanted to ask you.
Look, a shooting star.
No, that's an airplane.
That was my next guess.
My eyes must be playing tricks on me.
Guess I'm more tired than I thought.
Well I should probably
be getting to bed.
Like your mom said, tomorrow's
gonna be a busy day, right?
What exactly is this schedule?
There's a ceremony
for the Amish.
And then the English
guests join for the reception.
Levi got special
permission for me to attend,
from the Bishop, so
I'll pick you up after.
I'm so glad you're
gonna be there for him.
What were you gonna say, before the plane?
It can wait.
Okay.
Night.
Night.
Bruder, how do I look?
Amish.
Yeah.
You look great.
Very respectable.
She's a lucky woman.
Not as lucky as I.
I'm surprised you still
have your old suit,
after all these years.
I'm surprised it still fits.
See you.
Naomi,
Daniel.
Good morning, Hardins.
What a lovely day for our wedding.
Mr. Trotter.
Jesse.
You'll sit with us, won't you?
You're practically family.
We'd love to.
Jesse will show you in.
You too, Rachel.
In you go.
You're just as I remember.
Almost as if a single day, hasn't passed.
I don't know about that.
Your being here means
a great deal for Levi,
to all of us.
Grateful to be here
and for the Bishop granting permission.
I never doubted he would.
Anyone can see you're still one of us.
Shall we?
Poor Naomi.
This English girl has Jesse all mixed up.
I wish there was something
I could do to help her.
I advise against it.
We have grown children now.
And as much as I'd like to see them wed,
they need to decide such
matters on their own.
You are right, of course.
But I'm not happy about it.
Let's forget about
matchmaking for today.
We have another couple
to celebrate, do we not?
Marriage is a
lifelong commitment.
I vow a love and care for you
as long as we both shall live.
Marriage is a
lifelong commitment.
I vow to love and to care for you for you
for as long as we both shall live.
So, I need a second opinion.
Yeah.
Do I look
completely ridiculous
or just a little bit?
You look fantastic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They might have recruit
you for the quilted circle.
You know what?
You just need one more thing
and I hope you don't mind that
it comes from lost and found.
Here you go.
Oh my goodness.
How do I do it?
Just, yep, just like that.
Push.
Yeah.
Perfect.
Okay, you have to
tell a picture of this
to send to May.
Oh, she's gonna flip.
And there.
Let me see and
I'll send it to her.
Oh.
She got it.
She said blink twice if you need rescuing.
Oh my gosh.
You know what?
That sounds like an Amish prince.
Here to get his Amish princess.
Thank you, Tabby.
Yeah.
Go get him girl.
Who are you and what did
you do with my girlfriend?
I was thinking the same thing,
except you know my boyfriend.
Oh, Tabby, this is Jesse,
Jesse, Tabby.
Nice to meet you, heard a
lot of great things about you.
Nice to meet you Tabby.
You've got a beautiful place.
Thank you, thank you.
Is that Mom's dress?
It's a long story.
I'll tell you after we take a picture.
Tabby, do you mind?
Oh, absolutely.
Thanks.
All right.
Ready?
Yeah.
Say buggy.
Buggy.
Oh, you guys look great.
Here you go.
Thank you Tabby.
Thanks Tabby.
It looks great.
Oh.
You look absolutely beautiful.
Congratulations
Mr. and Mrs. Hardin.
April, look at you.
You look like a proper Amish woman.
She'll be coming to church
with us before we know it.
Well, one step at a time.
Lovely dress, April.
Not bad for an Englisher.
I can't take all the credit.
Had a little help.
Esther, is this your dress?
It is.
And I believe it suits you, April.
Jesse, April.
We need more players.
Are you in?
Volleyball?
Traditional Amish pastime,
especially at weddings.
Well, when in Amish country?
Yes.
Jesse's on my team.
He's my brother.
I called him first.
Is there something
you're not telling me?
They're just messing around.
I'm not that good.
Not that good?
Here we go.
All right.
Ow.
Get it April.
Next.
Should we have April, serve?
I don't know if
April can serve.
They didn't teach me that.
Okay.
Here we go.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, oh, oh.
No.
Nice.
Awesome.
We'll get 'em next time.
You want a rematch?
Haven't you had enough?
I'm just getting warmed up.
Thanks.
All right, let's do it.
Somebody's thirsty.
Oh, it's not all for me.
It's for the game.
Had no idea Jesse was so good.
There's a lot you
don't know about Jesse.
Listen, Naomi, I know
you and Jesse have a history.
We've known each
other our whole lives.
I understand that.
But Jesse and I are together now
and I would appreciate it.
It wasn't until our
teens that he began to struggle,
to wonder if all this was enough.
Well people change.
But do they really?
You can put on the
dress, ride in a buggy,
stuff your face with rhubarb pie,
but it doesn't change anything.
It doesn't make you one of us.
You think changing what
he wears, what he drives,
where he lives, makes him one of you?
He's happy here
because he's one of us.
Tell me you don't see it.
This English life he's chosen,
it won't last.
Neither will you.
You're wrong, Naomi.
Even if I am, you'll
never be welcome here.
So neither will he.
You'll only drive him further
away from the people he loves
and he'll only resent you for it.
And it will end in pain and misery.
Naomi.
Naomi.
Hey, hey, hey, it's okay, it's okay.
Naomi.
Naomi.
I need you to describe
the pain you're experiencing.
I don't know how.
Try.
It's a sharp
pain, like a knife.
Have you experienced
pain like this before?
It's gotten worse, all day.
Naomi, I'm gonna
push down, okay.
When I press, I need you to tell me
if the pain gets better or worse.
All right, ready?
One, two, three.
There's my answer.
What are you doing to her?
I think Naomi
has a appendicitis.
We need to get her to
a hospital right away.
Can somebody call an ambulance?
Yeah, I got it.
You're gonna be okay.
Good catch doctor.
We don't get any calls
from this part of the county,
too few actually.
Ms. Trotter's lucky you're here.
I think a CT scan's gonna show
that she'll need an
appendectomy right away.
Of course, she's
in good hands.
I'm gonna go with her.
My apologies for the disruption.
No, no, go, please.
God be with both of you.
Is she gonna be okay?
Appendectomies are
pretty routine these days.
I'm sure she'll be just fine.
Some real superhero stuff.
Proud of you.
Thanks.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
Hey, thanks again
for your help, Doctor.
We're outta here.
Wait, do you think
I could ride with you?
Sure, there's
room in the back.
Where you going?
I thought you said she's gonna be okay.
I don't think I
can do this, Jesse.
What do you mean?
I don't belong
here, not really.
I'm just keeping you from all of this.
Your family.
You're breaking up with me?
I just,
I think we'd both be better
off if this ended right now.
April, we can make this work.
I love you.
I wanna marry you.
You coming, Doc?
I'm sorry, Jesse.
April.
Did a fly land on that?
I've never seen you
take so long to eat pie.
I'm not hungry.
You want it?
Where's April?
I haven't seen her around all evening.
She left.
For the inn?
For New York, without me.
We,
she ended things.
So she's gone just like that?
She was convinced
that it was bound to end
so better sooner than later.
Well Mom's hospitality
certainly didn't help.
Don't blame Mom.
It's not, not her fault.
She had it out for April
ever since she got here.
All because of her
obsession with Naomi Trotter.
Maybe I should've
told April sooner.
Why didn't you?
It's complicated.
I'm not a kid anymore, Jesse.
It's because I was
afraid that this would happen.
Maybe April is right.
Maybe the longer that love lasts,
the more that it hurts when it ends.
And if I just been honest
with her from the start
and scared her away, it would've stung,
but it wouldn't feel like this.
It feels this bad now,
I mean, just imagine how
it'd feel two, three,
10 years down the road.
But does it have
to end, like this?
Will it end like this for Levi and Sarah?
Did it end like this for Mom and Dad?
Rachel, the English
world is different.
So there's no true
love in your world?
When things get hard, you just give up?
Is that the English way
or is that your way?
Jesse, Rachel, up, up.
We need your help with some cleaning.
What's wrong?
April broke up with him.
Really?
Try not to sound so upset.
Watch your tone,
Rachel Hardin.
Or what?
I'm a little old to be
punished, don't you think?
Why are you ruining
this blessed evening?
It is Levi's wedding.
You ruined it first.
I'm getting my things, I'm
not staying here anymore.
You know what, Mom,
it's one thing to drive
away everyone that you love,
but everyone I love.
Can I help you?
I'm here to see Naomi Trotter.
Yes, ma'am, follow me.
Naomi, you have a visitor.
Esther.
I'm sorry to show
up empty handed,
but with your stomach being afflicted,
I wasn't sure what to bring.
Oh, you didn't bring
anything, Esther,
your presence is more than enough.
How are you feeling?
A little tired,
but I feel much better.
The doctor says she
may be able to come home
as soon as tonight.
That's wonderful.
These English doctors,
they work miracles.
Makes one feel foolish for
doubting their abilities.
Where is April?
It may please you to know,
she's returning to New York, alone.
Before coming here, I
had some words with her.
Said some hateful things, lies.
I was jealous of Jesse's love for her.
And I'm afraid what I
said made them quarrel.
If she hadn't helped me,
even after the cruel things I told her,
who knows what could have happened.
She saved my life.
Hey.
I'll be right down.
Oh, come here sis.
Thank you, I needed that.
Oh, thank you for driving
all the way out here.
You guys must have been
up for like the night.
It was no problem.
Zeke's at a friend's house,
the neighbor's watching Scout.
And we'd go anywhere for
family, especially Amish country.
Now bring on the pies and pancakes.
Right.
Yeah, so then I took a
taxi back from the hospital.
Thankfully Tabby was around
to put up with my
blubbering, half the night.
Well a girl, can
use a good cry,
and you had reason to.
Rob and I are happy
to take you home,
but I'm feeling like
you're gonna regret leaving.
You stood by us when our
parents didn't accept us.
You convinced your parents
to change their mind and their hearts.
And if you could change
our family's minds.
I don't know.
Why is that?
Because the
Amish don't change.
It's kind of their thing.
Family's just as important
to Jesse as it is to me.
I won't make him choose.
So you're deciding for him?
It's for the best.
There's no point in
delaying the inevitable.
It's painful enough as it is.
See you see you later, Rach.
Rachel, wait.
Please, Rachel, allow me a moment.
You're welcome to go after that.
One minute.
I've just been to see Naomi.
She is doing much better.
The doctors say she may
even return home today.
You can thank April for that.
I plan to.
You asked why I dislike the English.
Because they took your brother Jesse.
And seeing interest in their world
has made me worry that I
would lose another child.
But the fact is you are not a child
and trying to keep you close,
I have only succeeded in driving you away.
The English never took Jesse.
He chose his own path
and I must admit he chose
the right path for himself.
I am sorry, I haven't
trusted you to make your choice.
Whatever you decide, I
will always love you.
No matter what.
Mom,
you think I can get a
ride back to the farm?
Of course my dear.
You are so precious.
Come back soon, Bruder.
I will.
We'll miss you, Jesse.
I'll miss you too.
Mom.
From your dad.
Something you should have
gotten a long time ago.
"Dear Jesse, it's been a
long time since we have spoken,
"but I felt cause today
"to tell you how proud I
am of your accomplishments.
"Mom tells me that you've started work
"at animal hospital in New York.
"You don't have to choose between us son.
"Our love for you is endless.
"And my prayer for you is
"that you find this deep love
in the English world as well.
"Your Dad, C. Hardin."
I'm so sorry, Jesse.
So sorry that I never told you
how proud your dad was of you.
How proud I was of you.
I wanted you to come home and.
I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you.
Can you ever forgive me?
I can.
But there's someone else
you need to apologize to also.
I know.
Well, maybe we both need
to come to our senses.
Well, the recovery
process won't be super fun,
but on the plus side,
you'll be able to eat all
the ice cream you want,
assuming that's okay with mom, of course.
We'll get all your
favorite flavors, sweetie.
Oh, can I get my
tonsils on today?
Not today, my dear.
But Margo down there in reception,
she'll get you guys on the
calendar right away, okay.
Thank you.
- Okay.
- All right,
I'll see you soon.
Bye, bye guys.
Bye.
See, it's a beautiful day.
You're right.
Thank you for making me
get out of the office.
I couldn't really tell
you what season it is.
Yeah, well that's what happens
when you shut yourself
back in your work office
and pretend like you want heartbroken.
Hey, you would've done the same for me,
except you would've made me run, so.
Well, thank you
for sparing me that.
Yeah, well I just figured
you didn't wanna be all gross and sweaty,
not with Jesse here.
Hear him out.
Hi.
Hey.
I can't believe I didn't
chase that ambulance.
The person that I am with you
is a million times more important
than anyone than I was before.
And I'm sorry that I
didn't make you see that.
I love you April.
I love you too.
And I'm sorry that I
left the way that I did,
but I'm not willing to be the
reason you can never go home.
Wherever you are, that's home.
Even if you feel that way,
your family never will.
I thought you might say that.
We both did.
We Amish can be hardheaded
people, none more so than me.
I was a fool not to see
that you are a lovely,
noble hearted woman
and an answered prayer.
My son has need of a good partner.
And from time to time,
I'll have need of a good doctor.
April, will you forgive me?
I know it's not really
customary among the Amish,
but is it a okay if I hug you?
I would like that.
Oh.
April,
you are the love of my life.
And being with you is
what's most important to me.
We can figure out the rest later.
Will you marry me?
Yes, of course, I'll
marry you Dr. Hardin.
On one condition.
Name it.
Espresso.
Fat free double cappuccino.
Why is taking so long?
His frost machine's acting up.
He can't get Mario, the repair
guy in until this afternoon.
I'm kind of a regular here.
I'm kind of late for work.
Matcha latte, almond milk.
Sorry, that's my order.
Mine too.
I know how to solve this.
I also ordered a.
Cinnamon and raisin bagel.
So did I.
Go ahead?
No, are you sure?
Yeah, you're a hurry.
Okay, well, thank you.
Thanks.
Thanks.
The feeling in your chest,
would you describe that
as more of a sharp pain,
a heaviness or.
More of a tightness.
It only lasts for a few minutes.
And it usually happens right
after I take my dog, Miss Lily,
for her nightly walk.
Okay.
Well, your cholesterol
has cropped up a bit
over the last few checkups.
Now I hear you make a mean steak tartar.
Your husband told me all about it.
And blamed a lot of things on it.
So I think if you can just
make a few less dishes like that
and make a couple other dietary changes,
you and Mr. Beauregard
should be able to enjoy many
more healthy years together.
Assuming you want to.
I do.
How are the grandkids?
The grandkids are wonderful.
Did you get to have
that graduation party?
- April.
- Yeah,
there were balloons and.
Why aren't you in room 223.
What's in room 223?
Your next patient
waiting, patiently.
Mr. Shepherd.
But I thought he wasn't in until 11.
I had it moved up to help
you keep shorter appointments.
Just a second.
I'm just gonna help Mrs.
Beauregard schedule her EKG.
Reception would be happy
to help you with that.
That's why they're here.
Isn't he a charmer?
Sorry, Mrs. B.
Dr. Schneider was
just being himself.
Aunt April, Aunt April.
Oh, Zeke what happened?
Scout ran off
and a car hit him.
Can you help?
Oh sweetie, I'm not
that kind of doctor.
What you need is a doctor for animals.
There's a
veterinarian up on 82nd,
that's where I take my Miss Lily.
Boys, they'll get you a ride
home, right over there, okay.
- This way.
- All right, come on Zeke,
just this way.
Excuse me, sorry, excuse me.
Hi, I am so sorry to interrupt.
My nephew's dog was just hit by a car.
Is there a vet available
that could help him maybe.
Oh, let me see what I can do.
All of our doctors are
with patients right now.
Okay.
Not all of them.
You.
Come on back.
Excuse me.
He'll need to be
in a cast for a few weeks,
but after that, he'll be
ready to rock and roll.
Hear that boy,
you're gonna be okay.
Now, what is Scout's
favorite color.
Dogs are color blind.
Humor me.
How about,
Orange?
Orange it is.
Orange it is.
So mom, Scout will probably
need some pain medication.
Oh no, not mom,
aunt, Zeke's aunt,
Scouts too, I guess.
I'm April.
Jesse.
Nice to meet you.
Hey Zeke, you should
probably call mom
and let her know what happened.
How was your bagel?
Worth the wait.
I wanted to thank
you for this morning
and for squeezing us in just now.
No worries, just doing my job.
Speaking of, I should
probably be getting back to mine,
Beecher Hospital.
That's a wonder why
we matched, again.
So, can I give you a
card for the cast, X-rays and?
Oh, reception
handles the payment.
Right, of course.
But I don't mind
getting your phone number.
Hold up, love birds,
no toasting without us.
Oh, go easy on 'em May.
Remember when we used to be like that?
I still have the slow
jam playlist, to prove it.
All right, happy birthday
to my old sister.
Cheers.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Do you still need
a few more minutes?
Oh no, I'll have the Bucatini.
Flounder for me.
Could I get this
Florentine steak, medium rare?
Oh, and I don't want the
seared artichokes on this side.
I'll also take the
Florentine steak, medium rare,
but I definitely want
the seared artichokes.
Ooh, could you put my
artichokes on his plate?
Sure thing.
Thank you.
I love the way you think.
What's not to love?
You got yourself
a good one, Jesse.
And I have to say, I think
April finally met her match.
Oh, thanks Rob.
Well, you and May set a great example.
Oh, you didn't see us
chasing Zeke and Scout
at the house earlier.
But we still make it work.
Oh and Zeke thinks you
hung the moon, Jesse.
I mean, he only talks
about wanting to be a vet.
Yeah, did you
always wanna be a vet?
I've always had a
heart for animals.
Did you have many
pets growing up?
Were your parents like animal people?
I guess you could say that.
Well, since we're all here.
The gift.
Oh, show off.
April, since the day
that you came into my office,
you have made me the
happiest man in the world,
besides Rob, obviously.
So.
Oh, Paris.
We leave two
weeks from Friday,
but we can transfer the tickets
if you can't get the time off.
Are you kidding me?
I haven't taken a
vacation in like a year.
Yes, let's do it.
Nice one Romeo.
How did I get so lucky
to find someone like you?
The part of the date
gets such sweet sorrow.
I can't wait for Paris.
Thank you again.
You're working so hard.
Your situation at Beecher isn't ideal
and you've always wanted to go.
You deserve it.
As usual, you've
read me like a book.
Just wish you were that easy.
What do you mean?
Sorry, nothing.
Must be the champagne talking.
Goodnight. Dr. Hardin.
Good night, Dr. Monroe.
Anemia is super common,
especially with new mothers.
I thought I was just
tired from the baby.
You wanna see some pictures?
He's just starting to crawl.
Do I wanna see some pictures?
Yes, please.
Oh my goodness.
He is so big.
I know.
April.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Next month.
Yes.
- Don't forget.
- See then, I promise.
Okay.
What can I do for
you Dr. Schneider?
We've discussed this already.
Our doctors don't have leisure time
to spend with individual patients.
I understand that, but
I make better diagnoses
when I get to know my patients.
They appreciate it too.
April,
we have quotas to fill.
Our job is to treat
patients not befriend them.
Am I being clear?
Yes, Dr. Schneider.
April, I cannot
go at this pace.
If you had told me we were
training for the Olympics,
I would've worn better shoes.
Sorry, sis.
What's got you so amped up?
Dr. Schneider, He's on me
again about patient turnover.
I guess first
job's always stink,
Even when you're a doctor.
He just treats me like
I'm a part of a machine.
I think the best way to treat people
is to treat them like people.
But that takes time.
And I don't know.
Maybe medicine just isn't
what I thought it was gonna be?
I don't know if I really belong there.
You do.
You just have a big heart.
I remember when you would
bring home all of those strays
when we were kids.
Maybe that's why you're dating a vet.
Oh.
How is Mr. Wonderful, anyway?
That was a pretty serious
gift the other night.
He's great.
He's better than great.
For the first time, I
feel like I'm with someone
who really gets me.
But?
But, I just don't
know if I get him.
He hasn't told me
anything about his past.
I haven't met his family.
Maybe there's a reason
he's not opening up.
What's what I afraid of.
You know what I mean?
Some people's paths are painful.
It's not like everybody
grew up in suburban New Jersey.
I'm sure he'll open up when he is ready.
And he obviously adores you.
There's no mystery about that.
All right, break's over.
Come on, you promised
me two miles, let's go.
Coffee at the end, coffee at the end.
Coffee at the end.
I don't know, maybe
it is time for a change,
but how do I know if a different hospital
is gonna be any better?
And if I do transfer
this early in my career,
what's that gonna look like?
What do you think I should do?
Listen to your heart.
I hardly have time to listen
to the new Taylor Swift
album, let alone my heart.
Hey, are you okay?
You seem a little distracted.
We need to reschedule Paris.
What, why?
I got a letter
from my brother.
He's getting married this weekend.
Oh, wow.
I didn't know you had a
brother or any family actually.
I mean, obviously you have a family, but.
I'm sorry, did you say a letter,
like with stamps?
There's a lot that I
haven't told you about me.
About my past.
Really?
I'm Amish.
Come again.
I was raised Amish in
Stone County, Pennsylvania.
My whole family, my
mother, my brother and sister,
everyone I grew up with, Amish.
That's unexpected.
I left home on
Rumspringa when I was 16.
That's when we decide
between staying Amish or going English.
I loved my family, my
community, I still do.
Part of me, really wanted to stay,
but I wanted things that
they couldn't offer.
So I chose,
all this.
I need to go home.
It would mean a lot to
my brother, to me too.
I understand.
And I appreciate you opening
up to me about all of this.
You're not
totally freaked out?
I'm pretty surprised, yes,
but not totally freaked out, no,
not yet, anyway.
Good.
Because I want you to go with me.
I'm crazy about you.
And I would love for you to meet my family.
That isn't that weird, is it?
He grew up
without electricity,
in the 21st century.
Lots of people
grow up without electricity.
Like?
Like all around the world.
He's from Pennsylvania.
Sorry, sorry.
He could have been hiding a
lot worse than a butter churn.
I'm just happy that he finally opened up.
I don't know if I can do this.
What, why?
I don't know the first
thing about the Amish.
What if his family, you know.
What?
Judges me?
Well, I know all about that.
So does Rob.
Won't be the first time
you've had to help a family
accept someone from a different background.
It's not the same thing.
I'm just trying to say
that you have a good heart
and Jesse's family will see that.
I guess so.
And as for the
Amish and their ways,
I'm sure Jesse will show you
everything you need to know.
And I might be able to
help you a little bit.
Well, like the Amish
don't show too much skin.
So I would go with more dresses and,
dresses.
What makes you the expert?
Remember my quilting phase?
Rob and I spent a
weekend in Stone County
a couple years back.
We totally fell in love with the place.
The Amish have their quirks,
but they're are really nice people.
It's a really tight knit community.
Good, well then maybe you can
recommend a place we could stay?
Well, I have just a spot.
We stayed at this adorable B&B
and I made friends with the owner.
We still exchange Christmas cards.
I will text her.
Don't be scared.
You're gonna have so much fun up there.
I promise.
Not bad, huh?
Beautiful.
Oh.
A horse and buggy.
Yep.
Home sweet home.
Oh, this place is so cute.
I know right.
Hey Jesse.
Leroy.
How are you?
I'm good, how are you doing?
Good to see you.
Good to see you too.
Huh?
Okay, no way are we just getting one pie.
These are whoopie pies.
These are coming with us.
All right, let's do it.
Oh.
That's a blueberry muffin.
I know what a
blueberry muffin is.
If you wanna get really Amish,
I would go with the
shoofly pie, over there.
There aren't actually
flies though in it, right?
Just molasses.
That's perfect.
Ah.
All right.
Can we get an apple
crumb and a rhubarb too?
Mom's favorite?
It's been a while since
I've seen you Jesse.
I'm just back
for Levi's wedding
and for your pie, of course.
Do you know
everyone around here?
Not everyone.
Jesse, hey.
Hey, Rebecca, good to see you.
You too, how are you?
I'm great, how are you doing?
I'm good.
Good to see you, take care.
You too.
Okay, almost everyone.
It's hard not to in a small town.
It's adorable.
Thank you.
Mrs. Fisher.
Pennsylvania, Dutch,
it means see you later.
Is there anything else
you think I should know
before I meet the family?
Most of the Amish don't
listen to popular music.
So they've never heard of
Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley.
Taylor Swift.
Yeah, exactly.
Don't get your heart set on dancing
to a love Song at the wedding.
On the plus side,
gonna be a lot of food to eat.
What else should I know?
Well, they don't really
pave their driveways either.
Okay.
Is this it?
This is home,
used to be anyways.
Man, this place was my whole universe.
Working the farm, going to church,
reading by candle light,
spending time with my family.
Life was a lot simpler
then, a lot easier.
I still can't picture you
with one of those big hats and long beards.
Only bearded men work here.
You should've seen my dad's though,
looked like a member of ZZ Top.
What was that?
Do we have a spare?
Must have.
I'll take a look.
You Englishers get lost?
You're responsible
for the booby trap?
The booby trap?
I knew I'd forgotten something.
I'm sorry, Bruder.
Good to see you.
Good to see you.
Levi this is April,
the girlfriend.
Please to meet you,
April the girlfriend.
I'm honored you can make
it out to my wedding.
I'm honored to be here.
You and Sarah must be so excited.
Yes ma'am, Sarah and I
are very much looking forward to it.
Jesse.
Rachel.
Hi.
April, this is Rachel,
my baby sister.
Younger sister.
It's so nice to meet you.
We brought plenty of treats.
So maybe you can help me
take on this whoopie pie.
Nothing from New York City?
Not this time.
I'm sorry.
Rachel is just
beginning her Rumspringa.
She's very curious of the English lately.
So what if I am?
Easy, Schwester.
It's great that you wanna
learn more about the English world,
but there's a lot of
things that you'd miss here too.
Trust me.
If you say so.
Rach, why don't you
take April inside,
Jesse and I can move the
car from the driveway
for the guests coming tonight.
Yeah.
Why don't we take
care of the car later?
I wanna see mom.
Yes, well do not expect
the warmest of welcomes.
She's still upset
about Naomi Trotter.
Rachel.
Naomi Trotter?
Friend.
We up to together.
Amish mothers, pride themselves
in their matchmaking skills.
And Mom set me up with Naomi
when we were basically
still in diapers.
But she's married, happily married.
No, her husband
passed away last year.
She's back on the market.
Oh, sorry to hear that.
So am I.
It'll be all right, April.
There's a rhubarb pie in there, jah.
Jah.
I mean, yeah, yes.
Good.
As soon as Mom sees it,
she'll forget Naomi, guaranteed.
That's true.
Come on, whoopie pie.
Yeah, thank you.
They're just back here, thank you.
There you are Rachel.
I need you to start on the cabbage rolls.
You said I could take a break.
You did, now it's over.
What in heaven's name is that?
It's a rhubarb pie from.
Jesse Hardin.
Didn't expect me to show
up empty handed, did you?
Never know what to
expect from you, boy.
I really should
go grab that rake.
See you all later.
You are too thin.
Glad you've returned for some real food.
Mom, this is my
girlfriend, April.
April, this is my mother Esther.
Mrs. Hardin.
It's a pleasure
to meet you, ma'am.
You have such a lovely home.
Not quite,
been working day night to
get it ready for the wedding.
Have sore joints all week.
Wash those first, Rachel.
What are you cooking?
You'll find out it's supper.
Besides I imagine my son
hasn't taught you much of Amish cooking.
No, but he did tell me
all about rhubarb pie.
I've never tried it before.
What kind of woman's
never tried to rhubarb pie?
Mom.
I apologize.
You must have much more
worldly pleasures in New York.
I like to try
everything at least once.
Of course you do.
Seems like you're pretty busy.
So we'll settle in and
I'll give April a tour.
She's not staying, is she?
The house is completely full.
I have a room in town,
at the Country Oaks bed and breakfast.
Kinda figured, no girlfriend's allowed.
I can pitch in, in the
kitchen, if you want.
Pretty good with my hands.
April's a doctor.
That's awesome.
Rachel,
what have I said about English slang?
Beg your pardon, Mom.
Your chosen profession is
exceedingly commendable.
Thanks.
Thank you April but we
will be quite all right.
But should I cut myself,
you will be first to know.
So do the Amish
actually raise barns?
They do.
And put one up in a day
when the whole community
comes together.
This one,
this one took us three.
Wow.
You built this?
Oh, I held the nails for Dad.
I was only about five-years-old.
It's beautiful.
Last stop,
Hardin pond.
Levi and I used to go fishing here.
Not much to catch, but once in a while
we'd have something for
mom to cook up for supper.
I always felt bad for the fish though.
Born animal lover.
Strange being
here without Dad.
We never really got each
other, but I miss the guy.
I always hoped that we could make peace.
Still hope that Mom and I can.
I'm sure you will.
Thanks, but our
families are different.
Yours gets along.
My family's had
some hard times too.
Rob and May got engaged in college.
Neither set of parents was a excited
about them getting married so young
or being from quote,
"Different backgrounds."
Your parents love Rob.
Well now they do.
But it took a long time
for them to open their minds
and make some much needed apologies.
Luckily, Rob and May
found it in their hearts
to give them a second chance.
I had no idea.
Well, there's some
things from my past
that I don't like to
think about much either.
But if my family can
reconcile their differences,
I have a feeling yours can too.
Jesse, April.
Hey, what's with
all the celery?
Cream celery.
It's traditional at weddings.
Like mash potatoes at Thanksgiving.
But much more delicious.
A celery garden can
be the only way to know
when a wedding's coming up.
Amish couples are very secretive,
which is why this one didn't
write me until the last minute.
You know, I've never
been one to break tradition.
Wow.
It is just so beautiful out here.
I could really get used to this.
Careful, pretty soon
they'll have you up
to milk the cows at 4 a.m.
Levi, Jesse,
Mom says to bring what you have,
we have to get ready for supper.
Already?
Amish eat early.
I wasn't kidding about
that 4 a.m milking.
Do you think I should have
worn something a little more?
Amish?
I'm feeling a
little out of place.
You look great.
If it wouldn't scandalize
my entire family,
I'd totally kiss you right now.
You're the best.
Good afternoon, Levi.
Afternoon.
You must be Sarah.
Blessing to meet you.
Same here.
Daniel Trotter, an old
friend of the family.
Didn't know we'd have the pleasure today.
Well, I suppose your
mother didn't tell you.
We only received a dinner
invitation yesterday.
We?
Do you think I should
ask your mom again
if she needs some help?
Jesse.
Jesse.
Naomi.
Naomi,
Trotter?
Jesse.
It's been a long time.
I had no idea you were coming.
Your mother invited us.
We've always been close,
especially this past year.
I'm sorry about your husband.
Thank you.
He was a good man.
Dad, you remember Jesse?
I do, the young man who
brought my daughter home
from many frolics.
Frolics?
Daniel, Naomi, this is April.
The girlfriend.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Of course, Mrs. Hardin's
told me all about you.
Oh, none of it's true.
No.
I've always gotten Mrs. Hardin
to be a reliable judge of character.
Oh, I was joking.
So then all of it was true?
Naomi, there you are.
Hello Daniel.
Esther.
I hate to interrupt
this little reunion,
but I need someone who's
actually useful in the kitchen.
No problem.
See Jesse, April.
Some things never change.
You were born hungry, Jesse Hardin.
They don't make food
like this in New York.
Pass the butter.
But of course.
April, tell me about yourself.
What do you do in the English country?
I'm a doctor.
That must be rewarding work.
It is.
Feels good to help people.
Sometimes it's hard, you know,
when a patient isn't doing well,
or when someone up to me at a dinner party
and wants me to check out
their cough for their weird rash.
If one of you has a rash though.
No rashes here, but your
offer is very much appreciated.
To be honest, we Amish,
we do not put much stock
in English medicine.
Some Amish.
The older, more stubborn ones.
Never seen a
doctor in my life.
And I've always been perfectly healthy.
Didn't you mention
something earlier
about having so joints?
You know, with the
leaves turning color,
the wedding should be beautiful.
We have natural remedies
for such ailments.
Well, if that's
not working for you,
a doctor could probably
prescribe something better.
We don't tell Englishers
how to lead their lives.
We are content to leave
well enough alone.
Would be nice, if
they'd return the favor.
We stay out of their lives.
Why can't they stay out of ours?
April.
Excuse me.
Just.
Come on.
No cars available?
This really is Amish country.
April.
What are you doing?
I never should have come here.
Nobody wants me here.
Hold on.
I want you here.
Mom's just, just.
Trying to make me look bad
so she can marry you off to Naomi Trotter.
Seems like it.
But don't worry about Mom.
She hates me.
She doesn't hate you.
Okay, I appreciate
that you're trying to
make a good impression,
but if I really cared
what my mother thought,
I never would've left.
It's you I care about.
Really?
Come on, let's go back inside.
No, not tonight anyway.
I still need to check into the B&B
and I'll have a lot more
energy for your family
after a good night's sleep.
Whatever you want.
Just one problem,
how do I get there?
Oh no.
- Oh yes.
- No.
Aha.
No way.
Yeah.
Is everything all right?
Yeah.
I thought this would be a little slower.
We're going pretty slow.
Okay.
Come on, it's not that scary.
Its not exactly a
merry-go-round either.
All right, all right.
Think I know a way to get
us there a little bit faster.
You know a shortcut?
Nope.
Thank you.
I could take it from here bell boy.
It's getting dark, you should
probably get back to the farm.
Oh, well, I guess we'll
see you in the morning.
Night Dr. Monroe.
Night. Dr. Hardin.
Are you sure you're gonna be
okay going back in the dark?
I think I'll be fine.
All right.
I'll see you in the morning.
Rachel.
This is not the time to go off by yourself,
we have too much to do.
Sorry.
What is that?
Nothing.
Where did you get this?
Did your brother bring
it from New York?
You tell me Rachel Hardin.
I bought it, in town.
Why are you so
fascinated with the English?
Why are you so against them?
I need you to go to market.
Take my list and some money.
I need the receipt.
Thanks so much,
I appreciate it.
Thank you, thank you, I appreciate it, bye.
Is there any breakfast left?
You bet.
Come on in.
You're April, right?
Yeah.
Your sister May gave me a
heads up and a history lesson.
Sit.
Oh, thanks.
My husband, Bill,
must have checked you in late last night.
I'm Tabby we own the place.
So how's your stay?
Perfect.
I slept like a log last night.
I don't think I woke up once.
Pretty sure I could spend
my whole trip in bed.
That's Stone County for you.
Lots of peace, quiet and Amish furniture.
Plenty of Amish,
that's for sure.
So not to pry,
but how is it with Hardins?
I am so sorry to hear that.
Some Amish can be so
stubborn about modern medicine,
about anything modern for that fact.
Frankly, I wish there were
more doctors around here.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
If only miss his
harden felt the same.
At least you have Jesse.
He's in your corner.
Seems like a really great guy.
He is.
Which is why he still
really want his mom to like me.
The Amish are good people.
They just don't take easily to outsiders.
Just give them the little
time, that's all it takes.
When Bill and I first moved here,
we didn't feel like part of the community
for like ever, it seemed.
Now we got a lot of Amish friends.
Where do you think I got
that pancake recipe from?
Oh, that must be Jesse.
Yeah.
Thank you for
everything, Tabby.
Anytime.
Go get 'em girl, you got this.
Hey stranger.
Oh, Rachel, hi.
Jesse's helping the
men set up for tomorrow.
So we asked me to get you.
We also have to pick up
some groceries for Mom too.
Okay, sure.
Okay.
Okay.
No offense,
but are you sure you're
old enough to drive this thing?
You don't need a license
for a horse and buggy.
Oh gosh, maybe you should.
We just need to
get a few things.
Hey guys.
Hey.
I thought he Amish wore pants.
Rumspringa.
What's all the cheese for?
Macaroni and cheese,
Levi specifically requested it.
The Amish eat mac and cheese?
As much as possible.
Wow, you guys are
full of surprises.
So tell me about
English weddings.
What do you wanna know?
Everything.
Do the brides always wear
those beautiful white dresses?
Most of the time.
And the groom wears a tuxedo.
There's usually a nice ceremony
followed by a big party
with lots of dancing
and champagne
and cake,
with a little plastic
bride and groom on top.
Then later the bride will throw her bouquet
to all of the single women
and the one who
catches it, supposedly,
will be the next to be married.
You mean their mothers
don't decide for them?
Sounds amazing.
I bet Amish weddings
are a lot of fun too.
They'd be more
fun with dancing.
Jesse told me that most Amish
don't really listen to mainstream music.
Well the church
lets us bend the rules
a little during Rumspringa.
Me and my friends listen
to the radio all the time.
I love Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift.
Yes, girl.
Fist bump.
She just sounds so
full of life and so free.
I get that.
I really do.
But even in the English world,
no one is happy and free all the time.
Sometimes our world is
loud, busy, crazy and crowded.
A lot of times it's just downright scary.
It can be hard to really
get to know people
where to find your place.
But don't listen to me or
your mom or even Taylor Swift.
In the end, you gotta
do what's right for you.
Thanks April.
Anytime.
By the way, what Mom
said last night about doctors,
I hope you know, she
wasn't speaking for all of us.
I like doctors,
one, anyway.
Thanks Rachel
that means a lot.
Anytime.
Now onto much more important matters,
ever try Amish rock candy?
No.
Okay, we're gonna
need a lot of those.
Levi.
Your mother's looking for you.
You and Sarah need to go over the seating
for the head table.
Well I thought
we'd been over this?
Is she in the kitchen?
Where else?
It's been a long time
since we've attended a wedding together.
Eli and Emily Yoders,
if I correctly recall.
I'm sure you do.
And you don't.
No distant memories flooding back?
A few.
I'm sure you have a nice
life back in New York, but,
you'll always have a home here.
Excuse me.
Whoa, now
I think we bought everything
that they had in the whole store.
I think we bought it all.
I can't believe, I think we got it all
than when she was like.
Thank you.
As a doctor of
veterinary science,
I insist you take it easy on that horse.
He's just getting
some exercise.
Don't be hypocrite.
Rachel's not the only
Hardin with a need for speed.
Fair enough.
You guys get everything you needed?
And then some.
April bought a pound of rock candy.
I
did that.
Maybe if you're nice,
I'll share some with you.
See you inside.
Thanks Rachel.
See, told you my family
would fall for you.
We had a great time together.
She kind of reminds me of you.
Yeah.
Don't tell Mom that.
Rock candy?
I pegged you for a city
slicker April Monroe,
but I have to say small
town life's good on you.
Yeah, well, it's kind of fun
to try on for a little while.
You think about this stuff,
your wedding day?
No.
What, you think every woman
fantasizes about her wedding day?
Okay, fine.
I really want like a big
Barbie Dream house wedding,
white silk dress with a mermaid tale,
jazz quartet that would obviously
cover Taylor Swift songs.
And next to the wedding cake,
a giant tower of rock candy.
Happy?
Good to know.
Why, is that something
you think about?
April,
I have a surprise for you.
Surprise?
Go ahead.
We all have a little work
to do out here still.
Okay.
Ta-da.
What's this for?
The wedding.
Winning over Mom might be easier
if you looked a little more like us.
This is her old dress.
Still in good condition though.
Oh, I would love to wear it,
but you really think that would be okay?
Why not?
She can't wear it.
Do you have a mirror?
The Amish don't use mirrors.
Oh right.
Well how do I look?
Naomi Trotter's gonna be
shaking in her prayer cap.
Rachel, are you up there?
What are you doing with that?
Oh, Rachel was
gonna let me wear it
for the wedding tomorrow.
You absolutely cannot.
Mom, you never wear it.
Doesn't mean you can
loan it out to just anyone.
Kitchen now.
Sorry April.
Sorry, April?
You should apologize to your mother.
This dress was not yours to give.
I wanted to help her.
I like her.
You like anything English.
And if you continue down
this road, mark my words,
it will lead you trouble.
Your place is here.
Well that's for me
to decide now isn't it?
Mrs. Hardin, I didn't
mean to offend you.
Rachel was just trying
to help me blend in.
You are English, we are
Amish, you will never blend in.
I'm sorry.
Mrs. Hardin, are you okay?
I'm quite well, thank you.
Come here, please sit down.
Could someone please get
her a glass of water?
Thank you.
Better?
Have you had many
episodes like this before?
Lightheadedness, trouble breathing?
A few.
And when do these
usually happen to you?
Around mealtimes, I suppose.
And did all of this come
on around the same time
as the sore joints?
I need to get back to work.
Mom.
Mrs. Hardin, I know you
probably don't wanna hear this,
but I think you could
have adult onset diabetes.
I'd recommend running some
tests as soon possible.
I'm fine.
Diabetes can be very serious
if you don't get it treated.
Now, if that's what this is,
a doctor's probably gonna tell you
to make some changes to your diet.
And I'm happy to make some
recommendations as well.
April.
I do not think I speak
more plainly when I say,
I'm not interested in your medical opinions
or anyone else's.
Do not bring this up again.
Thank you for the glass of water.
Of course.
And April,
you may wear my dress tomorrow.
Thank you, ma'am.
Hard to
believe, my little Bruder
will be a married man this time tomorrow.
I'm glad you're here, Jesse.
I know you have a busy life
and well thank you for making the time.
I'm never too busy for family.
I imagine wedding bells
aren't too far in the
future for you either.
We'll see.
Be honest, Bruder, I've
seen you and April together.
What are your intentions with her?
I've been carrying
this around for a while?
Waiting for the right time to ask her.
Might just be this weekend,
if that's all right with you.
Of course.
April is a good woman
and you have my approval.
Rachel's too, I'm sure.
Appreciate that.
You know, I must
admit it's bittersweet.
You and I starting these new lives.
Soon we'll have children
that could grow up
running around together,
well, if we didn't live so far apart.
I didn't realize how
much I'd missed this place.
I'm sorry that I haven't
come around more often.
I hope I can change that.
No, it's okay, Bruder.
We're on different paths.
We've always have been.
It was a passing thought.
Thank you for all
your help today.
I have one last request.
Finish up.
There's dishwashing to be done
and we all should be in bed early.
It's a big day tomorrow.
I can take you
back to the inn.
Got a new tire this morning.
Oh, that's great.
Just one thing.
What?
I kinda wanna go in the buggy.
I thought it made you nervous?
It does.
But it's important to face your fears.
You're right.
It is.
You're doing great.
Just keep it tight and steady.
Tight and steady.
I'm gonna let
go now, all right?
Okay.
Tight and steady, tight
and steady, tight and steady.
This isn't so scary.
See.
Take the back route,
it's just right up there.
You didn't say
anything about steering.
It's okay.
The view up there
is almost as beautiful
as the view down here.
You just never see stars
like this in the city.
You know, I don't know
if I ever realized everything
that I lost by leaving.
But I've gained a lot too.
I could see
myself settling down
in a small town like this, someday.
Really?
What about New York?
Oh, shh, just let me
fantasize for a minute.
I could open my own practice,
one without so many patients.
You could open one right next door
and then we could meet
every day for lunch.
And after work, we could go home
to an adorable little
house with lots of fresh air.
Does sound pretty nice.
This has been so great.
Thank you so much for bringing me here.
I never would've guessed
this side of you,
but I love it.
April, there's something
that I've wanted to ask you.
Look, a shooting star.
No, that's an airplane.
That was my next guess.
My eyes must be playing tricks on me.
Guess I'm more tired than I thought.
Well I should probably
be getting to bed.
Like your mom said, tomorrow's
gonna be a busy day, right?
What exactly is this schedule?
There's a ceremony
for the Amish.
And then the English
guests join for the reception.
Levi got special
permission for me to attend,
from the Bishop, so
I'll pick you up after.
I'm so glad you're
gonna be there for him.
What were you gonna say, before the plane?
It can wait.
Okay.
Night.
Night.
Bruder, how do I look?
Amish.
Yeah.
You look great.
Very respectable.
She's a lucky woman.
Not as lucky as I.
I'm surprised you still
have your old suit,
after all these years.
I'm surprised it still fits.
See you.
Naomi,
Daniel.
Good morning, Hardins.
What a lovely day for our wedding.
Mr. Trotter.
Jesse.
You'll sit with us, won't you?
You're practically family.
We'd love to.
Jesse will show you in.
You too, Rachel.
In you go.
You're just as I remember.
Almost as if a single day, hasn't passed.
I don't know about that.
Your being here means
a great deal for Levi,
to all of us.
Grateful to be here
and for the Bishop granting permission.
I never doubted he would.
Anyone can see you're still one of us.
Shall we?
Poor Naomi.
This English girl has Jesse all mixed up.
I wish there was something
I could do to help her.
I advise against it.
We have grown children now.
And as much as I'd like to see them wed,
they need to decide such
matters on their own.
You are right, of course.
But I'm not happy about it.
Let's forget about
matchmaking for today.
We have another couple
to celebrate, do we not?
Marriage is a
lifelong commitment.
I vow a love and care for you
as long as we both shall live.
Marriage is a
lifelong commitment.
I vow to love and to care for you for you
for as long as we both shall live.
So, I need a second opinion.
Yeah.
Do I look
completely ridiculous
or just a little bit?
You look fantastic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They might have recruit
you for the quilted circle.
You know what?
You just need one more thing
and I hope you don't mind that
it comes from lost and found.
Here you go.
Oh my goodness.
How do I do it?
Just, yep, just like that.
Push.
Yeah.
Perfect.
Okay, you have to
tell a picture of this
to send to May.
Oh, she's gonna flip.
And there.
Let me see and
I'll send it to her.
Oh.
She got it.
She said blink twice if you need rescuing.
Oh my gosh.
You know what?
That sounds like an Amish prince.
Here to get his Amish princess.
Thank you, Tabby.
Yeah.
Go get him girl.
Who are you and what did
you do with my girlfriend?
I was thinking the same thing,
except you know my boyfriend.
Oh, Tabby, this is Jesse,
Jesse, Tabby.
Nice to meet you, heard a
lot of great things about you.
Nice to meet you Tabby.
You've got a beautiful place.
Thank you, thank you.
Is that Mom's dress?
It's a long story.
I'll tell you after we take a picture.
Tabby, do you mind?
Oh, absolutely.
Thanks.
All right.
Ready?
Yeah.
Say buggy.
Buggy.
Oh, you guys look great.
Here you go.
Thank you Tabby.
Thanks Tabby.
It looks great.
Oh.
You look absolutely beautiful.
Congratulations
Mr. and Mrs. Hardin.
April, look at you.
You look like a proper Amish woman.
She'll be coming to church
with us before we know it.
Well, one step at a time.
Lovely dress, April.
Not bad for an Englisher.
I can't take all the credit.
Had a little help.
Esther, is this your dress?
It is.
And I believe it suits you, April.
Jesse, April.
We need more players.
Are you in?
Volleyball?
Traditional Amish pastime,
especially at weddings.
Well, when in Amish country?
Yes.
Jesse's on my team.
He's my brother.
I called him first.
Is there something
you're not telling me?
They're just messing around.
I'm not that good.
Not that good?
Here we go.
All right.
Ow.
Get it April.
Next.
Should we have April, serve?
I don't know if
April can serve.
They didn't teach me that.
Okay.
Here we go.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, oh, oh.
No.
Nice.
Awesome.
We'll get 'em next time.
You want a rematch?
Haven't you had enough?
I'm just getting warmed up.
Thanks.
All right, let's do it.
Somebody's thirsty.
Oh, it's not all for me.
It's for the game.
Had no idea Jesse was so good.
There's a lot you
don't know about Jesse.
Listen, Naomi, I know
you and Jesse have a history.
We've known each
other our whole lives.
I understand that.
But Jesse and I are together now
and I would appreciate it.
It wasn't until our
teens that he began to struggle,
to wonder if all this was enough.
Well people change.
But do they really?
You can put on the
dress, ride in a buggy,
stuff your face with rhubarb pie,
but it doesn't change anything.
It doesn't make you one of us.
You think changing what
he wears, what he drives,
where he lives, makes him one of you?
He's happy here
because he's one of us.
Tell me you don't see it.
This English life he's chosen,
it won't last.
Neither will you.
You're wrong, Naomi.
Even if I am, you'll
never be welcome here.
So neither will he.
You'll only drive him further
away from the people he loves
and he'll only resent you for it.
And it will end in pain and misery.
Naomi.
Naomi.
Hey, hey, hey, it's okay, it's okay.
Naomi.
Naomi.
I need you to describe
the pain you're experiencing.
I don't know how.
Try.
It's a sharp
pain, like a knife.
Have you experienced
pain like this before?
It's gotten worse, all day.
Naomi, I'm gonna
push down, okay.
When I press, I need you to tell me
if the pain gets better or worse.
All right, ready?
One, two, three.
There's my answer.
What are you doing to her?
I think Naomi
has a appendicitis.
We need to get her to
a hospital right away.
Can somebody call an ambulance?
Yeah, I got it.
You're gonna be okay.
Good catch doctor.
We don't get any calls
from this part of the county,
too few actually.
Ms. Trotter's lucky you're here.
I think a CT scan's gonna show
that she'll need an
appendectomy right away.
Of course, she's
in good hands.
I'm gonna go with her.
My apologies for the disruption.
No, no, go, please.
God be with both of you.
Is she gonna be okay?
Appendectomies are
pretty routine these days.
I'm sure she'll be just fine.
Some real superhero stuff.
Proud of you.
Thanks.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
Hey, thanks again
for your help, Doctor.
We're outta here.
Wait, do you think
I could ride with you?
Sure, there's
room in the back.
Where you going?
I thought you said she's gonna be okay.
I don't think I
can do this, Jesse.
What do you mean?
I don't belong
here, not really.
I'm just keeping you from all of this.
Your family.
You're breaking up with me?
I just,
I think we'd both be better
off if this ended right now.
April, we can make this work.
I love you.
I wanna marry you.
You coming, Doc?
I'm sorry, Jesse.
April.
Did a fly land on that?
I've never seen you
take so long to eat pie.
I'm not hungry.
You want it?
Where's April?
I haven't seen her around all evening.
She left.
For the inn?
For New York, without me.
We,
she ended things.
So she's gone just like that?
She was convinced
that it was bound to end
so better sooner than later.
Well Mom's hospitality
certainly didn't help.
Don't blame Mom.
It's not, not her fault.
She had it out for April
ever since she got here.
All because of her
obsession with Naomi Trotter.
Maybe I should've
told April sooner.
Why didn't you?
It's complicated.
I'm not a kid anymore, Jesse.
It's because I was
afraid that this would happen.
Maybe April is right.
Maybe the longer that love lasts,
the more that it hurts when it ends.
And if I just been honest
with her from the start
and scared her away, it would've stung,
but it wouldn't feel like this.
It feels this bad now,
I mean, just imagine how
it'd feel two, three,
10 years down the road.
But does it have
to end, like this?
Will it end like this for Levi and Sarah?
Did it end like this for Mom and Dad?
Rachel, the English
world is different.
So there's no true
love in your world?
When things get hard, you just give up?
Is that the English way
or is that your way?
Jesse, Rachel, up, up.
We need your help with some cleaning.
What's wrong?
April broke up with him.
Really?
Try not to sound so upset.
Watch your tone,
Rachel Hardin.
Or what?
I'm a little old to be
punished, don't you think?
Why are you ruining
this blessed evening?
It is Levi's wedding.
You ruined it first.
I'm getting my things, I'm
not staying here anymore.
You know what, Mom,
it's one thing to drive
away everyone that you love,
but everyone I love.
Can I help you?
I'm here to see Naomi Trotter.
Yes, ma'am, follow me.
Naomi, you have a visitor.
Esther.
I'm sorry to show
up empty handed,
but with your stomach being afflicted,
I wasn't sure what to bring.
Oh, you didn't bring
anything, Esther,
your presence is more than enough.
How are you feeling?
A little tired,
but I feel much better.
The doctor says she
may be able to come home
as soon as tonight.
That's wonderful.
These English doctors,
they work miracles.
Makes one feel foolish for
doubting their abilities.
Where is April?
It may please you to know,
she's returning to New York, alone.
Before coming here, I
had some words with her.
Said some hateful things, lies.
I was jealous of Jesse's love for her.
And I'm afraid what I
said made them quarrel.
If she hadn't helped me,
even after the cruel things I told her,
who knows what could have happened.
She saved my life.
Hey.
I'll be right down.
Oh, come here sis.
Thank you, I needed that.
Oh, thank you for driving
all the way out here.
You guys must have been
up for like the night.
It was no problem.
Zeke's at a friend's house,
the neighbor's watching Scout.
And we'd go anywhere for
family, especially Amish country.
Now bring on the pies and pancakes.
Right.
Yeah, so then I took a
taxi back from the hospital.
Thankfully Tabby was around
to put up with my
blubbering, half the night.
Well a girl, can
use a good cry,
and you had reason to.
Rob and I are happy
to take you home,
but I'm feeling like
you're gonna regret leaving.
You stood by us when our
parents didn't accept us.
You convinced your parents
to change their mind and their hearts.
And if you could change
our family's minds.
I don't know.
Why is that?
Because the
Amish don't change.
It's kind of their thing.
Family's just as important
to Jesse as it is to me.
I won't make him choose.
So you're deciding for him?
It's for the best.
There's no point in
delaying the inevitable.
It's painful enough as it is.
See you see you later, Rach.
Rachel, wait.
Please, Rachel, allow me a moment.
You're welcome to go after that.
One minute.
I've just been to see Naomi.
She is doing much better.
The doctors say she may
even return home today.
You can thank April for that.
I plan to.
You asked why I dislike the English.
Because they took your brother Jesse.
And seeing interest in their world
has made me worry that I
would lose another child.
But the fact is you are not a child
and trying to keep you close,
I have only succeeded in driving you away.
The English never took Jesse.
He chose his own path
and I must admit he chose
the right path for himself.
I am sorry, I haven't
trusted you to make your choice.
Whatever you decide, I
will always love you.
No matter what.
Mom,
you think I can get a
ride back to the farm?
Of course my dear.
You are so precious.
Come back soon, Bruder.
I will.
We'll miss you, Jesse.
I'll miss you too.
Mom.
From your dad.
Something you should have
gotten a long time ago.
"Dear Jesse, it's been a
long time since we have spoken,
"but I felt cause today
"to tell you how proud I
am of your accomplishments.
"Mom tells me that you've started work
"at animal hospital in New York.
"You don't have to choose between us son.
"Our love for you is endless.
"And my prayer for you is
"that you find this deep love
in the English world as well.
"Your Dad, C. Hardin."
I'm so sorry, Jesse.
So sorry that I never told you
how proud your dad was of you.
How proud I was of you.
I wanted you to come home and.
I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you.
Can you ever forgive me?
I can.
But there's someone else
you need to apologize to also.
I know.
Well, maybe we both need
to come to our senses.
Well, the recovery
process won't be super fun,
but on the plus side,
you'll be able to eat all
the ice cream you want,
assuming that's okay with mom, of course.
We'll get all your
favorite flavors, sweetie.
Oh, can I get my
tonsils on today?
Not today, my dear.
But Margo down there in reception,
she'll get you guys on the
calendar right away, okay.
Thank you.
- Okay.
- All right,
I'll see you soon.
Bye, bye guys.
Bye.
See, it's a beautiful day.
You're right.
Thank you for making me
get out of the office.
I couldn't really tell
you what season it is.
Yeah, well that's what happens
when you shut yourself
back in your work office
and pretend like you want heartbroken.
Hey, you would've done the same for me,
except you would've made me run, so.
Well, thank you
for sparing me that.
Yeah, well I just figured
you didn't wanna be all gross and sweaty,
not with Jesse here.
Hear him out.
Hi.
Hey.
I can't believe I didn't
chase that ambulance.
The person that I am with you
is a million times more important
than anyone than I was before.
And I'm sorry that I
didn't make you see that.
I love you April.
I love you too.
And I'm sorry that I
left the way that I did,
but I'm not willing to be the
reason you can never go home.
Wherever you are, that's home.
Even if you feel that way,
your family never will.
I thought you might say that.
We both did.
We Amish can be hardheaded
people, none more so than me.
I was a fool not to see
that you are a lovely,
noble hearted woman
and an answered prayer.
My son has need of a good partner.
And from time to time,
I'll have need of a good doctor.
April, will you forgive me?
I know it's not really
customary among the Amish,
but is it a okay if I hug you?
I would like that.
Oh.
April,
you are the love of my life.
And being with you is
what's most important to me.
We can figure out the rest later.
Will you marry me?
Yes, of course, I'll
marry you Dr. Hardin.
On one condition.
Name it.
