the woods one day...
when he heard a lady's voice
calling for help.
Well, he spurred his steed forward
and galloped on until he saw...
a beautiful lady
standing in a meadow.
A vision.
Well, he was so enamored
of her that, uh,
he let down his guard.
He got careless.
Well, that was a mistake.
Because when
he moseyed up to her,
she turned into a sorceress,
a witch.
Put a spell on him.
Yeah.
She took his courage, Chris.
The worst thing
that can happen to a man.
After that, Sir Gawain
would hightail it away
from all the great battles.
The sight of a dragon
made him piss in his armor.
He was a disgrace.
All the Knights of the Round Table
laughed at him.
Even old Merlin was stumped.
After that, he just kind of
went to pieces.
But this is not
a sad story, Chris,
because it's got
a happy ending.
At the end, Sir Gawain
got his courage back.
You know how he did that?
He went to bed
with a beautiful woman.
The next morning,
when he got up, presto.
His courage had returned.
Yeah. Something to think about.
Plan of action.
Better than sittin' around
feeling sorry for yourself.
[ Sighs ]
A teakettle's better company
than you are, son.
Good luck to you.
[ Maggie Sighs ]
Unbelievable day.
I had to fly down to Petersburg,
pick up some snowmobile parts,
and fly them to Yakutat.
So far, so good.
But halfway to Yakutat,
the crates shake open,
and suddenly I've got an airplane
that's listing like a wounded seagull.
[ Sighs ]
By the way, I promised Maurice...
that I'd fix the radiator
at the station.
I'll do that tomorrow, okay?
Chris.
Oh, right.
Too bad about your voice.
It'll come back, though.
Chris, excuse me.
These were my dad's,
and they brought him luck.
I want you to have them.
Without your voice,
there's a hole in this community.
A big, black hole
right in the center of Cicely.
[ Sighs ]
""Where's Rick?''
Oh, he had to fly a bunch
of oil guys up to Valdez.
They're trying to prove
the whole thing didn't happen.
Why?
?Pretty lady in the pretty garden?
? Can't you stay?
?Pretty lady, we got leave?
?And we got paid today?
?Pretty lady with the flower?
? Give a lonely sailor
half an hour?
?Pretty lady, can you understand?
?A word I say?
?Don't go away?
?Pretty lady?
? You're the cleanest thing
I've seen all year?
?Pretty lady, you're enough
to make me glad??
You know, sometimes
when you look back
on a situation,
you realize it wasn't
all you thought it was.
A beautiful girl
walked into your life.
You fell in love.
Or did you?
Perhaps it was only
a childish infatuation.
Or maybe just a brief
moment of vanity.
Do you recognize
this place?
Uh, I don't think so.
This is where you were
welcomed into the tribe.
There's an old saying
that if you come back...
to the place
where you became a man,
you will remember all those things
that you need to be happy.
Uh, I don't remember anything.
That saying never did
make sense to me.
But I thought
it was worth a try.
When the men of the tribe
brought you up here,
you were three years old.
Was there a dog?
A dog? I don't know.
There might have been a dog.
I remember
sitting in the sunshine...
and a dog sticking his nose
in my face.
I really liked that.
That could've been here.
Each man told you a story
of the tribe. A history.
They didn't expect you
to remember everything.
They just wanted you
to hear the words.
And when they finished,
they picked you up...
and handed you man to man...
so that you would know
each one of them was your father.
Do you remember?
Those are your stories.
And those men are your fathers.
Are we getting anywhere here?
Oh, yes.
Morning, Maurice.
I talked to a friend in New York.
Uh, a throat specialist
at-at Beth Zion.
Yeah?
He said a shock to the system
can sometimes cause a person
to lose his voice.
Is that right?
You know, like your hair
suddenly turning white.
And he said usually
the voice comes back,
but not always.
