She's fine.

I want to see her.

She's okay, Mikey.

What are you doing in here?

He spoke to me. Does that

mean he's going to be okay?

Really, you can't be in here.

Come on.

But...

Well, is he going

to be okay?

His back's broken.

His legs are paralyzed.

Paralyzed?

Yes.

Yes, whoever pulled him from the truck

probably crippled him for life!

(SIGHS IN DISBELIEF)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(SNIFFLING)

You can't sell the Stevens'

farm to Finneas James!

Who are you?

I'm a friend of Mrs...

Of Mikey Stevens. My name

is Emma O'Connor, and...

(STUTTERS)

The business of this bank is no

business of yours, young lady.

Aren't you worried about

what he'll do to the dogs?

The dogs, yes, yes,

good day!

He's going to kill them.

Did you have a dog,

Mr. Burchess?

When you were a boy?

What was his name?

Ragtag-

And what if it was Ragtag

that they were going to kill?

Finneas James is not going

to put any dogs to sleep.

It's not sleep, Mr. Burchess.

It's dead!

Well, do you want to pay

the delinquent mortgage?

How much is it?

Two thousand, three hundred and

seventy-four dollars, as of today.

By Christmas?

What can you

possibly do by Christmas?

Whatever it takes

to save Ragtag.

Look, please.

What are you doing?

I am begging Yo"

Get up! Get up! Get up!

Thank you, Mr. Burchess.

(EXCLAIMS)

By Christmas! We won't let you down.

Thank you so much.

Miss? Miss O'Connor!

(WHISPERING)

Go. Go.

Okay, come on,

let's go.

Good girl, get him.

Come on, wake him up.

Nessie. Hey, good girl.

Hey, Nessie. Hey!

Of course I remember you.

The girl with the golden voice

who thought she couldn't sing.

Hi, Mrs. Clancey.

It's really nice to see you.

Hi, sweetie.

(HESITANTLY) Emma?

Emma O'Connor.

It is you!

Oh. my gosh, hi!

I missed you so much.

What are you doing here?

Mrs. Stevens' funeral.

Right.

So how long are you staying?

You're staying to take care

of the dogs, aren't you?

Yes, but just until...

It is so good to see you.

I know, I've missed you!

Why don't you show Emma around

and I'll call your school

and let them know you're here.

Welcome home.

Thank you.

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

All right, guys, play some ball out there.

Play some defense.

Look for the opening. Look for the pass.

Look for the pass!

Look for the pass!

Come on, Walker!

All right, let's try it again from the top.

Ready, here we go.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Look for the pass, gentlemen,

look for the pass.

Good one.

All right, Connor.

Walker, Walker!

(BOYS CONGRATULATING)

(CHUCKLES)

Really? Slow down, kitten.

He's a total crumb.

What? What?

Come on.

Really?

Thank you so much,

I really appreciate it.
