I don't envy

the cowboy who'll try it.

I know it should be

"ladies first,"

But I think if you show Tia

how easy it is...

A little filly

the size of your sister,

Sometimes

they get scared.

[grunts]

Thunderhead, that's not nice.

My name's Tia.

And I want to be your friend.

All right, thunderhead?

[horse whinnies]

Tia! Stay away from him!

Hold on, now!

[horse whinnies]

[snorting]

Good boy.

[Tia grunts]

You know, I've never

seen anything like this

in all my life.

[meows]

[purrs]

[thunderclap]

[Tony] Tia!

Come here.

[thunderclap]

Hey, Tony, why don't you try it

without your harmonica?

I forget how.

Come to think of it, you can do

a lot of things I can't.

Like working locks

And the way you can talk to me

without moving your mouth.

Maybe it's because

you're a girl.

[plays up-beat music]

[laughing]

[laughing]

[laughing]

[Tia giggles]

That's the most

incredible thing I've ever seen.

Thank you, but we've

a long way to go.

I'm having more hidden cameras

installed and as soon as I have

enough evidence,

I'm going to show

the tapes to the children.

Good. If that doesn't

put them on my team,

Then we'll have to resort

to cruder methods of persuasion.

Tia?

Tia?

Tia, what's the matter?

Oh, everything and nothing.

I mean, maybe it's because

we've gotten everything

we've ever wanted.

More, even.

[sighing] it's... I don't know.

[exhales]

It just doesn't leave us

anything to wish for.

Is that it?

I think so.

Tony, we've got to

get out of here

Before it's too late, please.

- What do you see?

- Mr. Bolt, and he's mean.

He's never gonna let us go,

Tony.

You're not always right

about things like this.

I think this time...

This time...

[exhales] you're right.

I've enjoyed this.

You should ask uncle Lucas

to arrange it so you can

dine with me more often.

Thank you, Mr. Bolt.

We had some fine,

stimulating conversation.

However...

...Let us dispense with the kid

gloves, and acknowledge the fact

That we're dealing

with two remarkable children.

Mr. Bolt,

I really don't think you...

It doesn't matter

what you think, Deranian.

If these youngsters are psychic,

It's obvious they've begun

to see through us by now.

- Don't lay all...

- You have power. I've seen it.

Now, I don't mean to ridicule

those gifts of yours

as others might.

I revere them.

Do you believe that?

What power do you mean,

Mr. Bolt?

He knows.

He knows all about us.

I don't think we know

what you mean, Mr. Bolt.

What you did with thunderhead

and the marionettes.

And the dozens of things

I've seen on my TV console.

I want to know.

I want to be able to

understand these powers.

But that's impossible
