[Olaf] I was hunting
Hunting? Huh
Hunting Yes, of course
You were hunting
This coffee is so black
Inge... she makes good coffee
Not like the women in church
It's too black
Too many beans
Waste of beans
- Does she make you coffee often? - Yeah
Uh, no
Um, uh...
Do you find comfort here?
Mmm, uh...
Uh, good here Not like Frandsen house
Where do you sleep?
I sleep in the barn
[Inge] Uh, this
Oh, yes These are the letters from the minister in Osnabruck
The papers? Immigrations?
But...
You're dancing together You're living together
God only knows what else
- What else? - I sleep in the barn
Your Germaness is... It's a bad influence
Your Germaness... it's a disruption to my community
Your Germaness... it makes coffee that is too black
[Sorrensen] It is harvest time
A time when we must work together
prosper together, or suffer alone
Let me read to you from Corinthians, chapter five
verses nine through 13
"I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people;
"not to associate with any so-called brother ifhe is an immoral person
"or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler
Those who are from outside God judges"
I am troubled
I believe in a God who believes in love and compassion
and I believe in a God who believes in forgiveness
[Exhales] But I also find comfort in a moral code
I find comfort in a righteous path
and I believe in a God who teaches me to walk along it
[Man Coughing]
And when Inge Altenberg
first arrived in our community
I was fearful of her differences
but I had hoped that she would join us on our path
Inge Altenberg and Olaf Torvik...
they're not married
Now I find them dancing together
sharing the same quarters, perhaps the same bed
And she is making coffee for him in the morning
You cannot choose to live like that
and also to join with us
The rest of you
do not allow your good lives to be poisoned by these two
I'm not listening to what the minister's talking about
- You've been my friend ever since you got here - You can't harvest alone
- You need these people Harmo's steam thresher... - It'll all work out
Frandsen, you've thrown yourself into debt with your damn Ford, big tractor and magic lantern
- It'll work out - You're not gonna have a farm much longer
Brownie's gonna have to work in a factory for the rest of her life
- You're trying to pick a fight now - You're not a farmer
You're a fool Your bigger, better, faster...
- [All Gasp] - [Groans]

- OlafTorvik - Would you step forward here?
I don't have $7,000
I know
[Car Engine Starts]
[Car Departs]
Is there a problem, Olaf?
This is a legal action
I don't have 7,000
- I see you finished your harvest - Yeah
Well, it won't pay for this farm
I mean, you might get, what, 1,200 at most?
- I know - Where's this rest then?
In a pickle jar somewhere?
No
Why did you do this then?
I just did it
Congratulations
You now own Frandsen's farm
If you don't pay for it in 24 hours
I'll own your farm, which is a better piece of land anyway
But I can help you out
With a mortgage?
Sure
Banking and farming don't mix
Did you see that socialist drug out of here?
Yah!
Thanks
What... What happen now?
The sheriff come
[Car Approaching]
[Car Doors Opening, Closing]
[Knocking]
Come in
We kept enough for winter and planting
Good night
I still think your coffee is a little black
[Man] My eldest... lost in the war
[Sorrensen] I'm sorry
For me, these letters don't provide sufficient evidence
that this woman is not a troublemaker
We have no birth certificate, no history
Just some noncommittal comments and anecdotes and pleasantries
I can't take the risk Not with what has happened in Russia recently
- Russia? - Mmm
Look at this This comes from the mind of a dangerous man
I found that in church, tucked in my hymnal
We just want only to be married
[Sorrensen] Come on, Alden
These are simple farmers with honest dreams
Give them the papers so that they can get married
I'm sorry
This is her place now
How can it be?
You can let it be
You don't have the papers
Now I am married
I am citizenship
In my heart, I believe
But that's not enough, Inge... in your heart to believe
It has to be real
You believes God?
All right
[Exhales] In my heart
See you both on Sunday
[Car Door Opens, Closes]
Mmm
This is German food?
No, just food
Brownie's pie?
My pie
Your pie
Me good cooking?
Inge?
- Ja? - [Speaking German]
Ja
All right
Come
What?
Come
[Inge] "A thing ofbeauty is a joy for ever:
"Its loveliness increases, :
"It will never pass into nothingness, :
"But still will keep a bower quiet for us
"and a sleep full of sweet dreams
and health, and quiet breathing"
[Frandsen] Knock, knock?
Who's there?
- It's a good one - Olaf died, Frandsen
[Frandsen] No, Olaf is in the fields
Can I keep this?
Someday
[Footsteps Approaching]
I can't
I know
Sorry
Here it is good
[Grunts]
Grandma, I don't know about this
I know
Lars
Yeah?
You play baseball this year?
- Yeah - Pitching?
Yeah
I love those games
[Crying]
Did we eat?
I'll fix you something
Why did Grandma Inge die?
[Lars] It happens that way
Hey, look It looks like a heart
Yeah, it does
What if I don't remember her?
I have a photograph
