- You will? Gee, that's great...

- Wait. Under these conditions.

She's your responsibility,

and she'll have to pay for her own keep.

Once she's brought back her costs,

then we'll take you into partnership.

That's very fair of you, Dad.

Thank you. And you too, Mom.

There's one other little matter.

Might as well let you have it all at once.

- Yes, sir?

- Beaver Greenway was just here.

- Thunderhead stole another one of his mares.

- Thunderhead did?

But we don't even know he's alive.

Well, if he is, Beaver's gonna shoot him. And

if I see him first, I'm afraid I'll have to.

- So that's your surprise!

- You like her?

From here I'd say she looks pretty good.

Come on, baby, show her your stuff.

Now, settle down. Easy, girl.

Easy. Trot. Trot.

Trot.

Whoa. Settle down. Trot.

Ah, stop that. Behave yourself.

- She's a little green yet.

- Yes, I can see that.

Now, come on. Come on, baby,

you know better than that. Trot.

- I believe she's got something.

- I got a hunch the moment I laid eyes on her.

Whoa! That's enough for today.

Whoa, Jewel.

- Jewel?

- Yeah. Crown Jewel.

That's a nice name. I like it.

She's blowing. Have you worked her hard?

No, it's the altitude. It got her at first,

but soon she'll have lung power

and stamina to burn. Won't you, baby?

- You look at a horse the way my father did.

- I do?

Mother used to say,

"If you looked at me the way you look at

your prize hunter, I'd faint with delight. "

Must've been quite a guy,

your father. Thanks.

Come on, Jewel.

There we are. Be a good girl

and I'll get you some hay.

- You throw it down and I'll give it to her.

- OK.

- Is that all you're giving her?

- Isn't it enough?

It wouldn't be for my horses.

Oh, Ken!

How was that?

Ken, what are you doing?!

- Hey, where's the ladder?

- Ladder? What ladder?

- Come on, put it back.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't, eh?

Hey! Cut it out!

So that's the way you want to play.

Oh, Ken!

- I'm sorry.

- You are? Why?

- I shouldn't be roughhousing with you.

- You didn't hurt me.

That's not what I mean.

You seem different today, somehow.

Maybe it's because you've never

looked at me before - really.

No. I guess I never did.

I'd better get to work.

I promised Dad I'd fix the corral fence.

- I'll help you.

- Building fences is a man's job.

Oh.

Very well. If I'm in the

way, then I'll go home.

No, don't go. I'm glad you came.

I was thinking yesterday that you haven't

been over to go riding for a while.

- I can't be coming over here all the time.

- Why not?

I have a home too,

in case anybody should be interested.

- You mean I should come to see you?

- Are you asking for a date?
