My Dad loved it too.

He was Senator Drake, Louisiana and

New 0rleans.

Some people thought he could be

president

l mean President of the United States.

We had... that is we had before Daddy died,

The plantation in New 0rleans.

We had another one outside Savannah.

When my aunt died last year,

l inherited this place.

My name is Susana

Johnny, you want to say something?

0h, no.

You're cute... Johnny Seanacy.

That 4th of July race, what happens

when you win?

Well, according to a friend of mine,

lf l win, a beautiful girl will place

a wreath of oak leaves

on my sun-colored lucks

l like to be that girl.

Maybe it can be arranged

0h, it can be arranged alright...

I'll arrange it.

Johnny.

Thank you, Ed

Nell.

Ah, Johnny, there you're...

I'm looking all over for you.

How are you feeling?

Nervous.

What you need is calm your nerve

over some acting juicy.

Good luck, Johnny.

L got a payback on you.

Thank you, l'll do my best.

How about a little drink?

0h, l used to lemonade.

Lemonade?

Lemonade is something

that gives you ulcer.

What l mean was how about a little

drum of Bourbon.

Bourbon, me?

Now, don't get excited,

all l mean was just...

Even the present President would agree

the whole time l put it in, Jack.

A draw.

God bless you.

How about a little drink?

This old horse

he doesn't think

l should touch a draught.

Just to be sociable.

Well, l'll give if you both drink

Splendid

Let's be sociable.

What will be, boy?

You name it and l ll drink.

Ah, what to be got?

How about a little Bourbon?

There's a couple of bottles right

out of the steer, a bottle for each boy.

Ah, just a minute.

Let's have those drinks

poured from the same bottle.

Why?

L just don't want any trick monkey do

around here.

What are you

we just have a bottle for each.

They'll drink from the same bottle.

Wow, you don't mean to say...

Kid me a fool, Professor.

That's a new situation

that you may do yourself.

May l...?

Professor, l don't trust you...

You got sneaky eyes

lt's tea, cold tea.

And you must've thought it

really a good thing

I'll fill it right up.

Alright, man.

Johnny.

There's nothing to it... nothing to it.

Come on, just fill the glasses

Johnny, you're unable...

How do you feel now?

L feel fine

0h, that's enough.

Gentlemen, this boy is not used to

strong alcohol.

Just to be sociable.

Professor, don't worry about me.

There's nothing to it, really.

Stand back, give the boy a chance.

Good work to Jack, alright to youth.

Now gentlemen, stand back,

give me room.

How you like that?

L tell you l've got another trick

l want to show you.

Watch this... give me a hand.

Alright, boys, watch this.

That's enough, dry him off.

That's only God would choose.

He's out there now,

laughing to beat the kid.

How dare you play a trick like this

on your best friends?

And poor Johnny here who never drinks

in his life

0h, he'd have been killed Flash.

Flash is there hours ago.

Yelling for action.

You'd better get Johnny out there

Johnny, this is it... are you ready?

Yes, let's go, I am ready

0h, l'd better put on my pants.

Hello, boys, help yourself.

When l want a noice, you gonna be set

lt'd be 1, 2, 3 and bang.

Now remember, Johnny

Good luck.

Where's it?

Is that we end up?

Yeah.

How about the girls down there?

You think too close?

They'll kill themselves

0nce again, boys.

Alright... quiet everybody

Where's Flash?

The king is dead, long live the king

Johnny.

Nice to see you around again.

Quiet voice.

You've beautifully done it

Johnny Seanacy, allow me to present

to you on behalf of all these people.

Present this wreath to the...

Victory belongs to this boy.

What about that race you and l

going to run?

L wouldn't have a chance

0h.

You, dear boy, are a wishfully

pagan spirit.

And you're poet of finance.

Today is the day of high hopes and

fair promise.

Ah, now wonder worker of the age.

Professor, you've enough zidar.

Hm, not enough, l gonna catch up with him

l've to protect my leagues.

Why don't you run away and play with

this charming ambassador's

in the land of mints and magnolia?

Let's go swimming, come on.

What?

You're sick of that think.

But you can think anything.

Ah, life... liberty and the pursuit

of happiness

0h, l gonna hate to leave here.

Leave... when are you leaving?

Tomorrow, l'm going back to New 0rleans.

You can't stay for a while?

0h, you're sweet.

But you can come to visit me some time.

You'd love this house.

You have to go?

Well, l only came up here to resettle

the house

l was going to sell it,

but l think l'll hold it for a while.

When you'll be back?

L don't know, maybe never.

Tell me about the raintree.

Where did you hear about that?

Do you think you'll never find it?

You don't think it's a joke?

No, l believe it

l'll be looking for the raintree always.

Supposing you do find it,

0h, it opens all locks,

It heals all wounds.

Yes, maybe l'll never see you again

Nell

Nell

lt's silly, you've been running away

from me for weeks.

Why don't you talk to me?

You weren't so anxious to talk to me

when that girl was in town.

What do you mean?

Are you mad just because l saw her

a couple of times.

A couple of times?

Huh, did you like that book of poetry

l gave you?

Yeah.

No, Byron was immoral,

he was a libertine.

He was a good writer

l think being a good man is

far more important.

Maybe a writer has a lot of experience

0h, so that's it, so that's what you're

doing with Susana

Johnny Seanacy, the Byron

of Raintree County.

That's right, l'm a genius.

Maybe someday l'll write.

About what?

About the sudden baths l've known?

No, l think l'll write about

Raintree County.

About the lndians

when they first came here...

About Johnny Appleseed and the raintree.
