Description: This is a COPY of a 1974 script from THE WALTONS (not a transcript or Photoshop recreation). The episode’s titled “The Five Foot Shelf” and was directed by actor Ralph Waite (aka father John Walton). It aired as the 24th episode of the second season. The original script was owned and used by Joe Conley (aka general store proprietor Ike Godsey) who had a significant role in this episode. The original was signed by Richard Thomas (John-Boy), Michael Learned (Olivia), Judy Norton (Mary Ellen), Eric Scott (Ben), and Kami Cotler (Elizabeth). A reproduction of the signed script is being sold here. In this memorable episode, traveling salesman George Reed (Ben Piazza) comes selling the 50-volume set of Harvard Classics, Olivia makes a $3.00 down payment, since they will replace some of John-Boy's required college books and help satisfy her occasional desire for adventure. She also allows the salesman to stay in the barn. But instead of ordering the books, he uses the money to buy his daughter a doll from Ike's store. When John and John-Boy figure out his deception, John demands the money back but decides just to banish him and write it off as a lesson learned when he sees how desperation has overridden the man's ethics and sense of pride. The man's conscience finally wins out: he persuades Ike to buy the doll back and returns the money to the Waltons. After this, Olivia still decides to buy the books. The script's cover has been reproduced in color and a sheet of acetate is included to keep it looking pristine (to be honest, this copy looks better than the original). The script pages are printed on one side. Great care has been taken to make this a piece that a TV collector will be proud to own and display.
