Lassie Page #3

Synopsis: The dog everyone loves now leaps into the '90s in this all-new exciting, updated version of Lassie! Determined to start a new life in the country, the Turner Family - Dad, stepmom, little Jennifer and teenager Matt - leaves the city for the wilds of Virginia. The move creates problems for everyone, especially Matt, who feels lost and alone in his new surroundings. Fortunately, the Turners are helped by a homeless collie who becomes part of their lives - and Matt does a lot of growing up as a result of the dog's unflinching loyalty. Watch the extraordinary collie protect Matt from a snarling wolf, rescue him from a raging waterfall or just nuzzle up for affection, and you'll know Lassie is more than a story of a boy and his dog - it's the story of a boy and the most remarkable dog in the world!

we're going to live there.

Live there?

Well, now that's good news.

I got two boys just about your age.

I'll send them around.

You tell your daddy

Sam Garland says welcome.

Went out hunting coyotes today...

Josh, pass this down to your mother.

I ran into a youngster who said they

was moving on to the Collins place.

That's all right. As long as they

don't mess around with our flock.

- Right, boys?

- They won't, sir.

- Me and Jim will take care of that.

- That's what I like to hear.

Sam, you mustn't encourage the boys

to do anything malicious...

Now, Mildred, who said anything

about malicious?

I just want my boys to keep an eye

on things. We need that pasture.

- You know what I mean, right, Jim?

- Yes, sir.

- Josh, you know what I'm talking about?

- Yes, sir.

Mildred, you're a wonderful cook.

- I don't understand.

- What don't you understand?

They've gone under.

- And you want to stay anyway?

- Where are we going to go, Laura?

- Home.

- There's no such thing any more.

- I could get my job back at the bank.

- I could get other work here.

- Doing what?

- I'll find something.

Honey, look... I don't want

the kids to grow up in the city.

I'd like them to see the sky,

hear the birds, not that noise.

I'd like them to walk home at night

and not worry what's behind them.

- Am I really wrong to feel that way?

- No, of course not.

- Don't worry. They'll think you're cool.

- Really?

Yeah.

Class, we have a brand new student

in grade 8 that's just moved to the area.

Matt Turner doesn't know anyone here,

so I want us all to make him welcome.

And now April will give us a grade 9

presentation of her 4-H Club project.

Jim, Josh, stop that.

This is Charlotte,

a 6-month-old Toggenburg goat,

who I helped birth

and then disbudded at one week.

Toggenburgs are the oldest registered

breed of any animal in the world.

They're light brown with white accents

and are excellent milk producers.

Thank you, April. That was

a very imaginative demonstration.

I'd like to encourage the rest of you

to accompany their science projects...

...with practical demonstrations

like the one April presented.

Now, if you turn in your books

to chapter 17...

How are you doing, girl?

Can you believe that?

Show-and-tell with a goat?

I can't believe I live here!

You know what would happen at my

old school if I put a goat on a desk?

Hey, wait up!

I'm not a dog, you know.

Are you sure

this is the right way back?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Probably through those trees.

Come on, this isn't funny.

Is this the only trick you know?

Give me back my bag!

Come on, wait up, will you!

I told you, it's not funny!

Give me my bag.
