The Indian in the Cupboard Page #4

---

- The bleeding stopped.

- Yes. Good.

He needs a blood transfusion

but I'm not prepared for that.

- A bullet, was it?

- Arrow.

Lucky it missed his heart and lung.

The cotton's damp.

So, you're a pal of his, are you?

Amigo.

That should just about do it.

Look, keep a close watch on him.

Plenty of water.

He could use a doctor's care.

There's a doctor in his town.

- No.

- When he wakes up.

Not yet.

It's time for them to go home.

Good. That will do.

He needs to sleep.

Well, I best be getting back.

We'll all be waking up soon enough.

I suggest a drop of brandy.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome, mate.

Buckles keep catching on my doodah.

I'm so ashamed of myself.

I hurt you.

What are you talking about?

Did I hear somebody mention brandy?

No, Omri.

She has her life.

She has a family, a clan.

Maybe a husband and a child.

I don't want you to be alone.

I will be with my people.

I will be with you

when the sun rises?

One more time.

Hey, son. When we go back,

are we going back to the last

thing we remember or ahead?

I don't know.

I hope it's forwards.

How about you, Little Bear?

Little Bear, where are you headed?

I was on the journey

with my brother's son.

I think I will wake up in the woods.

It is quiet

and the nights are getting cold.

I can almost smell the trees.

I can almost smell them, too.

Like I'm part Indian now myself.

If you were my nephew, it'd be

time to walk you through the forest.

I would go.

It is difficult.

You would live by yourself,

care for yourself.

We would travel for days,

tell stories,

hunt and fish.

I'd leave you and return

to the village.

You must live alone for one season.

You would learn to live in harmony

with Mother Nature...

the two-legged,

the four-legged, the winged.

When the seasons change,

my nephew would come home.

I would be waiting for you.

We would have a great celebration

because you return

to the village... as a man.

When I leave you, Omri,

I take you... as my nephew.

Time to go, gentlemen.

Easy, Darlin'. Easy, now.

Don't y'all forget me.

I won't.

You look after yourself now,

Little Bear.

And you, friend.

- Goodbye, my friendly giants.

- Great Spirit?

Yes, Little Bear?

Tell me about the Onondaga gah.

Are we always a great people?

You are always a great people,

but it's not always so good.

- Things change for us?

- They will.

We go.

Now!

"I will never know

where he is or how he is

"but I don't worry

about him any more.

"I think Little Bear

will have lots of children

"and he will teach them everything.

"He will always

take care of his people."

That's all.

Very nice.

That's a good ending, Omri.

Sam.

"One day JFK was killed.

"He was shot on a street in Texas.

"My grandpa says that he remembered

exactly where he was..."
