White Fang Page #2

I was trying to get the ammo.

Stop talking and drink this.

Drink it.

It's pine-needle tea.

It tastes like hell...

but it keeps the heart pumping.

I'll get Dutch.

- What's left?

- Three cartridges.

Damn. It's like

being naked out here.

"He's Scott's boy.

How much trouble could he be?"

- [Whining]

- [Howling]

We've got company.

Shield the firelight

from your eye. Look hard.

Let's get the dogs safe.

- George, Digger.

- Fritz, Fatty.

Settle down. Settle down!

[Skunker]

Get down in there!

Look!

It's a female, Alex!

- That b*tch is part dog.

- That's why she isn't afraid of the fire.

She's a decoy.

She draws the dogs out

so the pack can eat them.

Digger, come back here!

- Digger.

- Digger!

Damn! Come back!

Come back

or I'm gonna whup you!

Digger! Come back here!

Digger, Digger, come here.

Damn you! Don't be fooled!

Get over here.

Digger.

- Come back.

- Digger!

I know where one

of these bullets is goin'.

- He's my best dog.

- Skunker!

Skunker, come back!

- Digger, get out of the way.

- Don't waste the bullets!

My God.

Digger!

- Digger, come back.

- Stay put!

- Skunker!

- Digger!

[Alex]

They are right behind you.

- Skunker!

- [Snarling]

[Gunshot]

[Gunshot, Screaming, Snarling]

[Whining]

He's gone.

Nothing we can do.

[Whimpering]

[Whimpering, Whining]

Shh-shh-shh.

Sorry, Skunker.

We didn't have a chance

to say goodbye.

Go to sleep.

[Howling]

Help me. Come on.

Let's pack up.

- [Growling]

- Aaah!

[Gunshots]

- Hey, you all right?

- Yes.

How did you find us?

- Saw the smoke from your fire.

- Thank God.

You saved our lives.

[Whimpering]

[Whimpering]

[Whimper]

[Howling]

[Howling]

[Whimpering]

[Whistle]

[Whistle]

[Barking]

What chance would a wolf cub

have of surviving on his own?

None without the pack.

[Whining]

[Yapping]

[Bark]

[Whimpering]

Come on, come on.

Whoa.

Is there any good reason

why we can't bury him here?

I don't think

he'll know the difference.

I gave him my word.

Okay!

Okay.

[Whining]

[Speaking Athabaskan]

Look... the white fang.

This wolf is part dog.

[Yapping]

[Speaking Athabaskan]

I'm glad Dutch is dead,

'cause I'm ready to kill him.

Whoa, whoa!

Look, you old weasel!

Look at that!

You're home! You're home!

Home!

Okay, okay!

Come on.

Let's move out.

Klondike is still

a good two days away.

You gonna say anything?

- You know what?

- What?

I never really

liked the bastard.

- [Boy] Come, come.

- [Speaking Athabaskan]

Come here. Good, good.

Over here.

Looks like he's gonna be

a good working dog.

- Come on.

- Okay, Harry.

- Hi, Joe.

- Hi, Alex.

- Take good care of them.

- Sure will.

Okay?

What are you going

to do for money?

Well, I got $50.00 in my boot.

You'll be all right.

You can get a dry bed

and breakfast at the edge of town.

Tell Dave I sent you.

He'll give you a good rate.

Okay.

Where are you going?

To see a friend.

- Okay.

- Listen,

- get yourself a partner.

- Yeah, sure.

Don't go off on your own.

Don't worry about me.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Okay, do I look all right?

Heather, sit on my lap

and give me a kiss.

- Shut up, Clyde, I'm working.

- Why don't you put on a pretty dress?

'Cause I couldn't do this.

Don't you love me

any more, Heather?

It's a miracle

how beautiful you really are.

Oh.

Who's that?

He's Scott Conroy's son.

I brought him up here.

How remarkable.

He even looks like Scott.

- Belinda Casey.

- Jack Conroy.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Do you work here?

- I own the place.

- Oh, great.

- Would you like a drink?

- Yeah, I'd love one.

Shouldn't you be at Bradford's?

Yeah.

A pleasure meeting you.

Bye, Alex.

Bye.

Coming through!

- Miss Casey!

- Oh, Jack, hi.

- Can I get that for you?

- You certainly can.

- Got it?

- Yeah.

- Did you find some place to stay?

- Yeah, I did.

Do you know anybody else here?

- Just you and Alex.

- Would you like to join us for dinner?

- Yeah, I'd love to.

- Good.

- Come by in an hour.

- Okay.

- You heard they made Alcatraz into a prison?

- When I lived there,

it was used for immigration.

Now they've got federal

prisoners there,

soldiers that deserted,

and some Indians from Arizona.

Indians?

Oh, that's horrible!

I'll get some dessert.

- Would you like some coffee?

- No, thank you.

Get out of here. Now.

- Take me where I want to go.

- No.

Then I'm staying.

I'll think about it...

if you get out of here

in two seconds.

- You're not leaving?

- Yes, ma'am.

Thank you for dinner.

It was delicious.

Can I borrow that book?

I promise I'll return it.

Good night, Alex.

Good night.

You know, I think

he really likes you.

And how about you,

my dear Belinda?

The lines are wrong.

What makes you the expert?

Experience.

It'll be hard for us to control.

Does that mean we're partners?

It means that I will take you

to your father's mine.

That's all it means.

Oy-yoy.

- I'll miss you.

- I'll miss you too.

Next year we'll have

that hotel in San Francisco.

Come on, Alex, kiss her.

I won't look.

This time.

You'll see.

- See ya!

- Belinda.

Feed the dogs.

Boy, you're a romantic,

aren't you?

[Speaking Athabaskan]

Who are they, Alex?

They are Han Indians.

I know the Chief.

We'll stop here for the night.

We've come to see Grey Beaver.

Good to see you,

my friend.

And you.

It's been a long time.

Jack, this is Grey Beaver.

[Speaking Athabaskan]

The boat is taking water.

We have to re-tar it.

Fine.

- What's his name?

- Mia Tuk.

What does that mean?

White Fang.

Hi, Mia Tuk.

Can I pet you?

- No.

- I just wanted to pet him.

Dogs are for work.

Maybe they'd work harder

if you were more friendly.

We make fire.

Kill with sticks.

Cause stones to fly.

We are their gods!

That is why they obey,

not because we're friends.

Mia Tuk.

[Barking]

[Growling]

You boys want a stick of gum?

Well, here you go.

Thank you for dinner.

It was very good.

[Speaking Athabaskan]

[Jack] I can't sleep

when it doesn't get dark.

You'll get used to it.

They never let you forget.

[Howling]

[Jack]

Listen, it's not food.

You're supposed to chew it,

not swallow it.

All right?

Aaah!

Aaah!

[Growling]

I won't forget you.

Thank you so much.

[Speaking Athabaskan]

You're here.

Your father wanted to

be buried on the claim.

When I was younger,

I used to think he was a hero.

My mother would

tell me stories...

about where he was

and what he was doing.

I never knew what was true.

He said he wanted

to give us a better life.

All we wanted

was for him to stay.

What took you so long

getting up here?

It's been a year.

My mother got sick.

She pull through?

Nah.

Sorry.

I know you want to keep moving,

but I've got to try it here,

settle in here.

The gold is further north.

Why don't you try it here,

Alex?

There must be gold here.

I know we can find it.

It's not a bad spot.

I'll get you started.

[Barking]

[Barking]

Holy biscuits!

Look at that dog.

That ain't no dog.
