Buffalo Dreams Page #4

It's A Good Thing

You're Going.

It's A Long Time.

I'm Gonna Need That Stuff.

If My Blood Sugar Drops,

I Get Dizzy.

I Get Cold And Hungry

And Tired.

You Can't Take Dim Sum.

[Sighs]

Look After One Another.

[Sniffs]

John:
Go To A Place

Where You Can Bring Forth

What You Are

And The Way You Might Be.

Is That A Cave

Up There?

No. It's A Hole

In The Rock.

Just Like Home.

We Have Geological Formations,

Too, You Know.

Ancient Sublevel

Parking Lots

And Subways

With Great Acoustics.

You Must've Climbed Up

Those A Million Times, Huh?

Not A Million.

Well, Not A Million,

But I Mean A Lot.

Isn't It A Part

Of Your Culture

And Stuff?

No.

No What?

No, I Didn't

Come Here A Lot.

I Don't Sit Around Caves

Passing Peace Pipes.

So What Is Hojo?

Like A Vision Quest?

Navajo Don't Do

Vision Quests.

I'm Gonna Go Cool Off.

[Frog Ribbits]

He Didn't Find

My Candy Bars.

If He Didn't Want You

To Have Them,

You Wouldn't Find Them

In Your Bag.

No.

Go For It.

So This Looks Like

A Good Camp Site, Right?

Look At The Tracks.

Animals Come Here

At Night To Water.

What Kind Of Animals

Are We Talking About?

Quail.

They're Small.

I Could Take One

If I Had To.

Deer.

They're Shy And

They Stay Away From People.

A Bobcat And A Cougar?

That's Harsh.

Doesn't Look Like Rain.

Does It?

Where Are You Going?

Up River.

I'm Coming With You.

That's Your Problem.

Stop Being A Follower.

I'm Not A Follower.

Yeah, Right.

You Led Those Guys

To Shining Steps.

I Said I Was Sorry.

It Doesn't Mean Anything

If You Don't Understand

What You Did

Was Messed Up.

What Was I

Supposed To Do?

You're Supposed

To Stick Up For Us.

And Say What?

Leave, Please?

Something Like That.

I'm Sorry

I Couldn't Stop Them.

We Trusted You,

And You Didn't Keep

Our Secret

Because You Think

It's More Important

To Hang Out

With Those Guys.

I Don't Know Why.

They're Jerks.

I Said I Was Sorry.

I'm Going Up River.

You Go Down.

We'll Meet Back Here

Tomorrow Morning At 9:00.

If You're Not Here,

I'm Leaving.

You Just Be Here.

[Scoffs]

Yeah.

John:
Be Aware Of Things

Within You.

Your Anger And Your Fear

Can Help You.

Ugh! Ugh!

Rice.

Beans.

Pan.

John:
Make A Circle

Around You

To Connect You

With All Things.

Come On.

Come On.

Come On.

[Sighs]

[Twig Snaps]

[Coyotes Howling]

[Wind Gusts]

John:
The Day Will Come

When People Will Ask Us

To Teach Them

How To Care For The Earth.

When That Day Comes,

We Will Be Ready.

[Hawk Screeches]

Thomas Blackhorse,

You Cannot Leave.

Our People Are Hungry.

You Must Bring The Herd

Back To Our People,

And You Will Bring

To Our People Health.

Sorry.

Not My Problem.

But It Is!

No Matter Where You Travel,

This Land Is Part Of You.

It Made You

Who You Are

And Who You Will Become.

You Must Go Or--

Or What?

[Snorts]

You Talk To Him.

You Can Do It,

You Know.

Why Are You Out Here

All Alone?

[Grunting]

You Will Never Be Forgotten.

We Will Help Each Other.

Can I Have Fries With That?

Do You Deliver?

[Screeches]

[Wind Whistling]

Thanks.

Ok. That's It.

This Place Is Way

Too Whack For Me.

I Gotta Go Home.

[Dirt Crumbles]

[Wind Whistling]

I--I'm From The City.

I Take Trains.

I Can't Fly

Without 2 Engines

And A Fuselage.

You Never Tried.

We All Have Bird In Us.

Obviously,

Some More Than Others.

What Kind Of Bird Spirit

Are You Going To Be?

Ok.

Well...

What Are My Choices?

Ravens, Blue Jays,

Crows.

My Family, The Hawks.

Mighty, Fierce,

And Very Good-Looking.

And There Is Eagle,

Mighty Messenger

Between Up There

And Down There,

A True Leader.

So, What Bird Spirit

Are You?

Get Back To Me

When You Find Out.

[Screeches]

[Dirt Crumbling]

Nothing Broken?

The Eagle Has Landed.

[Wind Whistling]

[Thunder]

[Thunder]

Thomas!

Josh!

[Breathing Heavily]

[Thunder]

The Wind's Bringing

In The Storm!

We Can Make It

To The Cave!

That's Where

I's Going!

[Thunder]

For Such An Empty Place,

It Sure Is Busy.

[Chuckles] People

Really Eat That Stuff?

It Comes In Handy.

Here.

If You Get

A Toothache,

Chew On

An Echinacea Root.

Ok.

My Grandfather Has

A Remedy For Everything.

I Had The Weirdest Dream.

About What?

This Talking Bird.

And Then I Flew,

Like I Was An Eagle

Or Something.

[Chuckles]

In Your Dreams.

The Navajo

Love The Eagles.

They Believe They Carry

Their Hope And Dreams

To The Spirits.

Cool.

I Dreamt About Buffalo.

You Gotta Get Out More.

They're Invading

Your Brain.

I Was A Hunter.

It Felt So Real,

I Could Feel

The Earth Shake.

That Was The Thunder.

Leaked Into Your Dream.

Scout Was There.

Ok.

Well, We Know The Buffalo's

A Native Thing.

Yeah...

But I'm Tired

Of Being Navajo.

I Wanna Be

From Brooklyn...

Or Graceland.

Go For It.

Ah, I Couldn't

Leave Scout...

Or My Grandparents.

My Parents

Left Here.

Where'd They Go?

They Died In A Car Crash

On Their Way To Seattle.

I'm Sorry.

That's Gotta

Be Rough On You.

Yeah.

Been Tougher On Scout.

That's When

She Stopped Talking.

She Hasn't Spoken

A Word Since.

What Did The Doctor Say?

Nothing.

What

A Whacked Place.

[Thunder]

Dr. Townsend:
It Was

Only One Night.

Boys:
Whoo!

Hey, Hey, Hey!

Joshie!

There He Is.

Man, Are We Glad

To See You.

We Were Just Trying

To Remember

Where Those

Waterfalls Were.

You Guys Gotta Go Clean Up

The Mess You Made.

No, Man,

We Wanna Swim.

No Way.

Shunting Steps

Is Private Property.

Get Over It.

I'd Rather Settle It.

Oh, Yeah?

Yeah.

Me And You.

One On One.

We Race.

Deal.

I Win, We Get To Ride

Where We Want,

When We Want,

And You And Your Tribe

Back Off.

Won't Happen.

I Win,

And You Guys Get Lost.

Turquoise Mountain

Ski Resort,

Next Saturday.

Up And Down.

Up And Down.

I'm There.

Guys?

We Gotta Push

It Back A Week.

Wha--

I'm Getting

My Braces Off.

Fine.

Devil's Revenge.

The Trail.

Bring It On.

[Chuckles]

[Knock On Door]

I'm Not Too Early,

Am I?

[Chuckles]

Maybe A Little.

Thomas Says You Have

A Remedy For Everything.

Yeah, Pretty Much.

Well, I Was Wondering

If You Had Any Indian--

I Mean, Navajo Herbs

And Medicines

To, Uh, You Know,

Get Me Into Shape.

Oh.

Come On.

What Kind Of Shape

You Wanna Be In?

[Chuckles]

I Knew

This Lakota Warrior

Who Shape-Shifted

Into A Cougar.

I--I Just Wanna Be Ready

For A Cross-Country,

Downhill

Mountain Bike Race.

Oh.

You Have A Good

And True Reason

For Doing This?

Uh-Huh.

Huh.

So, When Is This Race

Gonna Take Place?

2 Weeks.

You Eaten Anything

Today?

No.

Then Don't.

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

Smells

Like Photosynthesis.

Good For Stamina,

Muscles, And Joints.

[Chuckles] Bloodletting

And Leeching Were Popular,

Too, You Know.

Hmm.

This Is Even Older,

Mom.

[Grunting]

Ahem.

Scout's Just Wondering

Why You're Trying

To Get All Buff.

No, I'm Not.

No One Ever

Lies To Scout.

I Challenged Kyle

To A Race.

I Win, And They're

Out Of Here

For Good.

Who Are You

To Take This On?

That's Not

A Bad Question.
