Return To Snowy River Page #2

Synopsis: Young Jim Craig returns to the Australian high country, after being away herding the horses he caught and sold, in order to provide a stake for his future. He finds things quite different than when he left: his girlfriend, Jessica Harrison, is being pursued by a rich suitor, Jessica's father wants him out of her life, and the residents of the high country are being driven out by the wealthier low country ranchers. Jim definitely has his work cut out for him.

Everyone

was invited.

You're out

of your class here.

Sir.

Mr. Collins.

Good afternoon,

sir.

Harry Hawker.

Jim Craig.

Will starters and riders

move onto the track?

Could you spare me

a minute, Jim?

I noticed

your horse.

I was coming over

for a closer look.

He's a good type...

learning quickly.

Just the one?

No. I've got

about 100 of them.

Really?

Will you excuse

me, Harry?

It was good

to meet you.

And you.

Where the devil

is Summer Cloud?

Already out there.

A bit overanxious?

Not a good sign.

I wouldn't fuss

about that.

My Highland Laddie

has got the edge on your fellow.

That's easy

to say, Patton.

I've got 100

to back that up.

Done.

Come on!

What is that

jockey doing?

It's moving.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

You lost.

Thank you, Patton.

Good horse, that.

Yeah, I know.

I broke him in.

- Ooh!

- Ooh!

What are you

doing out there?

The jockey

was missing.

You just happened

to be available.

Simmons!

Where is that

bloody jockey?

Here.

Somebody locked me

in the outhouse.

Simmons...

you're sacked.

You're both

sacked.

Working for you two

is like being caught

in a meat grinder.

I want you to go

in the house

and change...

right now.

Jess...

congratulations.

Thanks.

Hello, Jess.

Well, Craig...

it's been a long time.

G'day, Mr. Harrison.

I don't recall having

invited you today.

No. I came

to seeJessica.

I could come back

tomorrow.

Well, you're not welcome here,

Craig...

today, tomorrow, anytime.

Oh.

I'm sorry

to hear that.

Do you still speak

forJessica, too?

I don't argue

with drifters.

Father, please.

Come with me, Jess.

Jessie...

I know it's been

a long time,

but I've got

a start for us.

You've been thinking

of me, then?

That's good.

Jess.

Jessica.

I know you Hicks are

slow on the uptake,

but you're

setting a record.

I don't know who

you think you are,

but you're

not part of this.

You've been away

too long.

You don't know

who's part of what.

Change

your clothes, Jess.

Get off this property...

now.

There are better ways

to make your point.

Ya!

Giddy-up!

You'd call that

a live prisoner.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

It was more

than a loutish display.

It was contempt

for our values.

We must get rid

of that riffraff

and acquire the grazing areas

for the valley.

It's easier said

than done.

Don't be too sure.

I will have a bill

before the house.

In view

of our undertakings,

I can count

on your support?

You're saying

I support you

or I have bank problems.

Right, Patton?

It's a fraction bold,

but I see you get

the general drift.

Ha ha ha ha!

Oh!

Blimey! You're enough

to make a saint swear!

There's

no saints here.
