William Thatcher: I have word, Master Thatcher. Word of your son.
John Thatcher: [drops his tools] Of my William? Come in, sir. What word? Does he live?
William Thatcher: Oh yes. He lives. He wanted you to know...he changed his stars after all.
John Thatcher: [emotion washes over, he starts crying] And has he followed his feet? Has he found his way home at last?
William Thatcher: Yes. [his father blindly reaches out; now it's William's turn to cry] Oh, Father.

A most awesome scene.
Young William Thacher: Some day, I'll be a knight.
Man in Stocks: A Thachers son? A knight? You might as well try to change the stars!
Young William Thacher: Can it be done father? Can a man change the stars?
John Thatcher: Yes William. If he believes enough, a man can do anything.
