The Wild Stallion Page #7

That's how they

brought him down in the first place.

Yeah, these kids.

They sure are smart these days.

That's what I think.

You and think and that

just, uh... don't...

Say, shut up, both of you.

I'll do the thinking for all of us.

Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.

[Sighs]

So, where do you want to put it

when we get him?

The last place anybody would look.

CJ:
Slow.

We got to go check.

We can't let Morg get him.

- But Matty said that...

- I know, but he might kill him.

You heard that story

about his temper.

Maybe we can get there first, lead

him away and bring him down here.

- Yeah. To your house.

- CJ:
It's worth a try, huh?

- HANNAH:
Yeah.

- All right. Come on.

CJ:
Come on, boy! Come on, boy!

- HANNAH:
They're not here.

- CJ:
Maybe we just can't find them.

We've looked everywhere.

- Come on.

- Okay.

[Horse neighs]

CJ:
Oh, no!

CJ:
I was sure they'd be here.

Nothing. Where could they be?

I don't know.

I was so sure Morg had him.

- Wait.

- What?

Where's the best place

to hide something?

Where no one will find it?

- Well, yeah, but in plain sight.

- What do you mean?

CJ:
Come on. Hurry.

Come on. I think he's in town.

That's Morg's truck!

CJ:
Let's go! Hurry!

CJ:
I knew it!

See? It's them!

You were right.

- Yeah, he's something, ain't he?

- Indeed he is.

The buyer for the Stallion!

- We need help, CJ.

- Yeah.

And evidence.

- Take a picture!

- HANNAH:
Good idea!

Load him up.

I want him out-of-state by tonight.

Not a problem.

[Shutter clicks]

Mr. Novak:
One nice package.

Take me to the plane.

Aren't you forgetting something?

Sure nice doing business

with you, Mr. Novak.

May I go now?

I'll have Virg take you back. Virg...

Hardy, get over here.

Now, I want you to stay here

and watch the trailers.

I've got to go check in,

or Buck's gonna get suspicious.

What do we do? There's no time

to get Matty, Dallas, or Ty.

No.

I know! It's Tuesday! Rodeo Club!

You keep taking pictures.

I'll be right back.

[Stallion neighs loudly]

[Stallion neighs loudly]

What are they saying?

CJ:
That his truck's on fire.

CJ:
Come on.

[Stallion snorts]

- Where do we take him?

- Away.

MORG:

What are you doing with my horses?

You weren't gonna

steal my horse, were you girls?

- He's not yours! Stop!

- Well, he's not yours, either!

He's not yours, either!

Sheriff Thompson, Wayne County,

has probably got Virg and

that big-shot tycoon of yours already.

- Yeah, but how?

- How?

If you were any kind of a lawman,

you would know

that county cars leave county tracks.

I had my suspicions,

I just needed proof.

Here's some more.

Thank you, little lady.

- I hope they aren't blurry.

- Come here, you!

[Horse neighs]

Guess you heard.

Heard about what?

Buck arrested Morg this afternoon.

You were right.

He got Virg Billings

and Hardy Johnson, too.

They were all in on it together.

Hardy and Virg...

Sounds about right.

You know, folks are saying he's yours.

Well, they're wrong.

He's not mine.

He doesn't belong to anybody.

He's free, like he should be.

So, uh, what are you gonna do now?

I'm gonna finish fixing the fence.

[Laughs]

[Motor revs]

HANNAH, OFF SCREEN:

It was a magical summer for me,

and it was over way too soon.

Dallas and Ty kept

playing their jokes on poor Alvin.

[Laughs]

Poor Alvin didn't have a chance.

[Both laugh]

[Motor revs]

[Both laugh]

But Alvin actually got the last laugh

on the brothers that same day.

Both Ty and Dallas were crazy

about Matty's friend, Ellie.

Alvin appeared and took Ellie

for a walk, right under their noses.

Ty and Dallas

never even saw it coming.

What?

Doesn't even make sense!

He's a cook!

And his nose is stuck to his finger!

Later I heard that Alvin and Ellie

really hit it off.

She helped him unglue his hand

in a really interesting way.

The day I was leaving,

Daddy came to pick me up,

and Matty wasn't around.

I'll miss you.

I said goodbye to everybody.

I was really going to miss them.

I'd been so wrong about coming there.

Ty and Dallas said goodbye.

And then Matty came out.

Whoa! She looked good!

Daddy thought so, too.

He never had a chance.

We went to

the county-fair parade in town.

It was the first one like that

I had ever seen.

[Cheering]

[Cheering]

CJ was chosen

as the Queen of the Fair Parade,

and we both got to ride in it.

Matty was wrong about that.

I think it's one

of the best memories I'll ever have.

We never saw

the Wild Stallion again, or his herd.

I think he led them out of Starvation

and over the mountains

back to Nevada.

He was the most beautiful and wild

thing I had ever seen before or since,

and to this day I think

about him still, running full-out

on the mountain meadow

where I first saw him,

forever wild, forever strong,

forever free.
