The Journey of Natty Gann Page #5

good-bye, huh ?

- Yeah, I guess it is.

Well, uh... Bye.

Bye.

Here you go.

Take care

of yourself, kid.

Yeah.

Harry ?

[ men chattering,

machines running ]

[ laughing ]

are we taking off ?

Shipping 'em out today.

Hey, Charlie, wait up !

Yeah, what do you want ?

I'm lookin' for someone.

My dad.

He's at the mill ?

I think so.

Sol Gann.

[ sighs ]

G-a-n-n ?

Yeah.

There's no Gann.

[ closes drawer ]

he's gotta be here !

They move a lot of guys

through here. It's almost

impossible to keep track.

Half the time we don't know

who's here, who's at base camp,

who's anywhere.

- Base camp ? What's that ?

- Forget it, kid.

You can't go up there.

But I gotta find him !

Sorry, there's nothin'

I can do for you.

What's that animal

doing here ? Is he yours ?

Get him outta here !

You too ! Get !

[ men chattering ]

All right, listen up, men !

When we gettin' outta here ?

We're finished

on the mountain, right ?

Can't keep the ladies

waitin' much longer.

[ laughing ]

They're sending

a few of us back up.

Ah, hell,

they can't do that.

We've just come down.

What about Alaska ?

When do we go ?

- That's a good question.

- [ laughing ]

- One more job, and then we're

outta here for good, men.

- [ men sighing ]

Now, I don't blame ya.

Now, it's gonna be tricky.

Double wages

for the lead men.

Any volunteers ?

How come I always have to

drive this damn thing

up the mountain ?

Right in there.

All the way in.

Easy, easy, now, easy.

Nice and easy.

That's it.

[ engine starts ]

All right,

take it up !

You got everything ?

Do you know this man ?

It's my father.

Nope.

Do you know this man ?

Uh-uh.

What the hell

are you doing here ?

I'm lookin'--

This country's for him, not for

a girl. You're goin' back down

first truck I line up.

[ thinking ]

"dear, Harry, I'm okay, I guess.

So's the wolf.

[ whimpers ]

"I haven't found him yet.

I miss you."

[ wolf pacing ]

[ whining ]

Love. No.

Sincerely--

oh, sh*t.

Natty.

Just plain Natty.

[ whining ]

[ animal howling ]

[ whining ]

[ growling ]

Hey !

Wait ! Stop !

[ animal howling ]

[ howling continues ]

Go on.

There's where you belong.

Go !

Go.

Hey, you in there ?

I think I might have found him.

Don't get your hopes up,

but is this you ?

It was in

with the dead letters.

[ Sol's voice ]

dear, Natty. Leavin' was the

hardest thing I've ever done.

It tears at my guts

to think I've let you down.

I hope you can forgive me.

I love you.

Come right away.

Dad.

Where is he ?

With "D" group,

if they're still up there ?

Where ?

At the top.

Got you a ride up.

Hey, mister. Can't this thing

go any faster ? Come on !

Can you fix it ?

I don't know.

I think the axle's busted.

Thanks anyway,

mister.

[ boss ]

oh, my God !

[ explosions continue ]

Get 'em down !

Get 'em down, now !

Come on, move !

[ panting ]

Got him.

All right, get 'em down !

Let's get 'em down !

Dad ! Dad !

Slow up !

Dad !

[ crying ]

no !

No !

[ sobbing ]

[ Sol ]

Natty ?

[ laughs ]
