Virginia's Run Page #3

Ooh, you got a purple-winged,

uh, kumquat there.

Actually, I've got

something that, uh...

for that. Hold on.

By-winged froghopper.

You can always borrow this

if you want. I mean...

- Just in case you ever...

- No, thanks. It's all right.

- ... run into a yellow-nosed...

- Needle pointer.

So, where are you headed?

Here... I'm training

For Blake Raines... first week.

Oh, he'll keep you busy.

That's what I like.

Jessie Eastwood.

Ford Lofton. Nice to meet you.

And you.

Well, I suppose we'll be

bumping into each other again.

Yeah, it's, uh,

it's a pretty small town.

Everybody, uh, kind of

knows everybody else.

See you.

Take care.

Stormy update.

Oh, don't worry.

I didn't shoot him.

Where is he?

Sold him.

Some sucker upstate. Just

thought you might want to know.

( bell ringing )

Have a nice day.

(whinnying )

Stormy!

Stormy!

Stormy!

Stormy!

Ahh... damn it!

Your mom was really good

at this Easter-egg making.

Dad, a tiny hole

is a lot better.

Oh.

And you have to be patient.

That your outfit?

Oh, no, Dad,

I just came downstairs

to help you with eggs.

Then I'm going

back up to change.

( giggling )

What's wrong with

your sister, bythe way?

Ah, Darrow's dad sold Stormy.

Who's Stormy?

Twister's colt...

come on, she's been acting

like it was hers ever since

she delivered him.

What do you mean,

she's been acting

like it's hers

since she delivered him?

- Well, um, ha... it's...

- Well, then, what?

Well, it's actually

kind of funny...

I got to go.

Bye, Daddy.

Hey, Mr. Lofton.

Splendid day to be

painting your eggs, huh?

( knocking )

Virginia?

Hey.

I heard about the horse.

He was my horse.

No, Virginia,

he was Blake's horse.

He would have died

if I hadn't been there.

Well, you don't know that.

They never should've sold him.

He should've stayed here...

with me.

Mom never would've

let this happen.

Virginia...

I told you to stay away

from the horse.

You don't think I did that

to punish you, do you?

I don't know and I don't care!

I miss her so much.

So do I.

We all do.

But she's not coming back,

Virginia.

But we can keep her here...

in our hearts.

That way she'll never be gone.

Don't you feel her

in your heart?

Hello... hello?

Hi.

Oh, hi. I'm Ford Lofton.

Remember we met the other day?

The entomologist.

I was hoping, uh, hoping

you'd have a few moments.

Sure. What's on your mind?

Well, I was, uh,

I was wondering

if maybe you needed some

extra help around the stables

over the next couple of months.

Setting up fences, looking

after tack, that sort of thing.

I figured you for the type

who already had a job.

It's not for me.

It's for my daughter,
