Buffalo Dreams Page #5

Synopsis: Schoolboy Josh Townsend has to move again with his father, astrophysics researcher Dr. Nick Townsend, to a New Mexico small town. To escape the copy-boy job dad arranged, Josh volunteers for the tribal buffalo reserve, working with Navajo clan elder John Blackhorse's cynical grandson Thomas and his buddy Moon. Local scamp Kyle's cool cyclist knaves gang seems irresistible, but their hazing-like demands bring Josh to betray his buffalo friends's reluctant confidence.

I Mean...

And What If

You Don't Win?

I'll Win.

This Is Definitely

Not A Good Idea.

Yes, It Is.

Thomas, You've Said It

Yourself.

I Didn't Understand

At The Time

How Important It Is

To Do Something

Bigger Than Yourself

For Others,

And It's The Only Thing

These Guys Accept.

I'll Race Them.

No Offense.

You're A Tourist

Around Here.

Thomas Is Right,

But He Should

Totally Defend The--

Moon!

Where Is The Race?

Devil's Revenge.

You Guys Know It?

Josh:
Whoa.

Think

I Should Race.

I Can Do This.

Dude, This

Is Nasty Work.

And, Well,

Your Bike

Is Kind Of Weak.

I Can Fix It Up

Fine.

I'll Race Kyle.

I Know The Terrain.

I Have To Race

For Me

And For You

And For Scout

And For

My Mistakes.

Otherwise,

What Am I

Doing Here?

Scout Thinks

You Should Race.

You Know What's

At Stake Here?

He's Never Done

This Course.

Kyle Will Be

All Over Him.

Thomas:

You'll Need This

For Good Fortune.

Turquoise Heals

And Attracts

Good Friends.

Just, Uh,

Don't Start Shaving

Your Legs Or Anything.

[Breathing Heavily]

[Laughing]

[Grunting]

[Breathing Heavily]

10!

20!

30!

Mmm. That Smells So Good.

You're Gonna Have To

Give Me The Recipe.

[Breathing Heavily]

How's It Goin'?

Going Well.

Give It Up, Dude.

No.

Nobody Wants

A Turf War.

Then Beat It.

Let It Go, Dude.

You Don't Have The Chops

Or The Bike

To Beat Kyle.

Yeah, I Do.

[Groans And Coughs]

[Laughs]

[Moaning]

What Was That, Kyle?

[Groans]

[Thunder]

Hi, Thomas.

Is Josh With You?

No. He Hasn't Been

With Us All Day.

Hey.

Have You Heard

From Josh?

No. Sorry, Mrs. T.

Ok, Thanks.

[Thunder]

[Thunder]

Hello, This

Is Blaine Townsend,

And I Was Wondering

If You Could Help Me.

We Interrupt Our Normally

Scheduled Programming

To Broadcast

A Special Alert.

We're Looking

For Josh Townsend,

5'6", Brown Hair,

Probably Soaking Wet

By Now.

Plug In, Josh.

Your Mom's Looking For You.

[Thunder]

Thomas.

Hello?

We're Looking For Josh.

Do You Have Any Idea

Where He Might Be?

He's Been Riding

The Train Tracks Lately.

Don't Worry. Trains

Don't Travel There Anymore.

Well, How--How Far Out

Is That Place?

Try The North End

Of The Res,

And I'll Try The Arroyo.

Ok.

Bye.

Let's Go.

I--I Couldn't Get Home.

My Bike's Out There

Somewhere.

Never Mind.

Thanks For The Ride.

Pull Up

Your Seat Belts.

[Thunder]

We Can't

Thank You Enough.

Thank You

For All Your Help.

Well, His Bruises

Will Heal,

But It's His Spirit

That Needs Herba Del Lobo

Extract.

I'll Make Sure

He Gets Some.

We've Got

A Medical Doctor

On The Way. Thanks.

We're Covering

All Of Our Bases.

[Quietly]

I'm Just Saying...

See Ya.

Thank You.

[Whispers] Would You

Step Outside?

His Bruises Are Going

To Heal Just Fine,

But Has He Been

Under Any Kind Of Pressure

Or Stress Lately?

Well, He's Still Asleep.

But I Can't Say

It's Peaceful.

He Just Seems

So Restless.

What's He Doing

Riding His Bicycle

In The Middle Of A Storm?

And Why Is My Son

Out There

In The Middle Of Nowhere

Riding Around?

What Was He Thinking?

He Was Training

For A Competition.

What?

Since When

Does He Compete?

Is There Something

I Don't Know About?

Thomas?

He Was Gonna Race

Against This Kid

Whose Gang Keeps On

Tearing Up Navajo Places

And...

Josh Challenged Him

So They'd Finally

Leave Us Alone.

He's A Really Strong Rider.

Ah-Choo!

[Coughs And Wheezes]

Ah-Choo!

All Right, Step Outside

And Get Some Air,

Please?

I'll Tell You

If Something

Changes, Ok?

Ok. Ah-Choo!

Girl, On Radio:

All Of Us Here At Ktqt

Are Wishing Josh Townsend

A Speedy Recovery.

We're Sending Over

White Light

And A Couple Of Pizzas,

So Get Better, Dude.

Huh.

You're Looking

For Something,

But You Don't Know What.

Mmm, No.

No, I'm Not.

Yes, You Are.

I'm Just, Uh,

A Little Lost.

No, You're Not.

Yes, I Am.

I'm, Uh,

Ahem, Trying To Get

Something For My Son.

Get Him A Bike.

Excuse Me?

A Bicycle.

Uh, That's A--That's

A Brilliant Idea,

But How Did

You Know That?

I'm Sorry. I'm--

I'm A Scientist. Uh...

I Measure, Calculate.

Things Are Pretty Much

Absolute For Me,

And I--

I Don't--I Don't

Understand You People.

There's One

In The Back.

One--One What?

One Bicycle.

I Can Let You

Have It Real Cheap.

Mmm...

Tight.

[Snoring]

You're Awake. [Laughs]

How Are You Feeling?

You Have Been Asleep

For 2 Days!

Ohh!

Hey.

Ok, Let Me Check

Your Wounds.

Oh, These

Are Healing Nicely.

I Knew That Alehoof

Would Work.

Good Morning.

Awesome Bike, Dad.

Well, Apparently,

You Need One For A Race.

I Don't Know.

I Do.

Ok, Now, Remember,

Distance Is A Product

Of Velocity

And Trajectory,

But Only Up

To A Certain Angle.

After That, You're Just

Gonna Get The Height

But Not The Distance.

So Don't Go Too High.

That's My Boy.

Good.

Pound It.

Right Over Here.

I Wanna Get

A Straight Shot Of Josh.

What's Goin' On, Dr. T?

Rock On, Moon!

Abuela, John.

What's Up There,

Moon?

Are You Sure You're

Feeling All Right?

I Feel Fine.

Are You Sure?

Yeah. Stop Asking Me.

Now, Remember,

After The Second

Hairpin Turn--

I Know! Stop Telling Me

That. It Drops Out.

I Was Gonna Say

That's When You

Start Praying, But...

All Right. You Guys Climb

The Fire Roads To Summit,

Then Pick Up Mine Field

Back Down To Devil's Revenge.

First One Back Here Wins.

You Guys Ready?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thomas:
Shake Hands.

See You Soon.

See You.

Play Nice, And I'll Let

You Ride On My Land.

Don't Worry. We'll Find You

Some Nice Trails In Nevada.

Baby.

It's Starting.

Who's Gonna Call It?

Him.

Man:
Come On,

Moon.

Moon, Can You Get It

Started Here?

Woman:

We're Counting On You.

You Can

Do It, Josh.

Racers...

Mount Your Bikes!

Already Did.

Can You Just Raise

And Lower Your Arm, Please?

Got It.

Ready...

Set...

Go!

Yes! Go! Go,

Go, Go, Josh!

Let's Go!

Whoa!

Ohh!

Oh, Come On!

They're Going Up

Now.

Sources Say

The Heat Is On.

Kyle And Josh Are

On A Stairway To Heaven.

That's The Turquoise Ascent,

Folks,

2,000 Vertical Feet

Of Leg-Burning,

Lung-Busting Heartbreak.

Watch Up There.

[Both Breathing Heavily]

[Grunts]

Oh, They're Going

Down Mine Field.

It's Kyle And Josh

On The Mine Field

Dirt Staircase,

Coming Down

To Terra Firma Before,

Dare I Say It,

Devil's Revenge.

Mountain Biking's

Mother Lode.

No Way!

Yes!

All Right!

[Gasping]

[Laughs]

[Grunting]

Hey!

Whoa!

Hey, Neat Jump,

But The Trail's That Way.

Yo! Trail!

What Are You Doing?

The Buffalo Are Headed

Toward Town.

We Have To Stop Them

Before They Reach

The Ridge.

How?
