for you.

Things change.

Is there

someone else?

They've made

plans for me

with

Alistair Patton.

I'm not going through with it...

but I can't come

up here with you.

Why not?

My father.

He needs me now

more than he ever did before.

The Pattons are the most powerful

family in the district.

If we were together,

they would break him.

Then they'd come

after everybody here.

Your people would

turn against you because of me.

You're taking too much

on yourself, Jess.

No.

I've given this

a lot of thought.

It would

drive us apart, Jim.

Dear father,

I had to seeJim.

Don't be angry with me.

I must do this my way.

Are you just

letting her go?

Do you mind

if I ask why?

For a lot of reasons.

Oh, really?

It's better this way.

For whom, Jake?

You just say it

straight out?

Better for your own

interests.

And better for Harrison's

own selfish interests,

no doubt,

you've been told.

Just leave things

as they are.

Broaden your minds.

Have another beer.

Have two!

Hah! Hah!

I won't let you go.

Jim.

We're not

messing up our lives

doing what others

think is right.

You've thought of me,

your father,

almost everyone else.

All right...

but what about you?

What do you want?

I want you.

You two

can head back.

Let's go home, Jess.

Time's past

for that, Harrison.

Let's talk straight.

Are you coming

with me?

Father, please,

don't do this.

You can't have it

both ways this time.

Either come

with me now...

or stay with him.

Understand

I love you both.

It's me or him, Jess.

It doesn't have

to be a choice.

Jess?

I want to be

with Jim.

All right.

All right,

stay with him, then.

You're just

like your mother.

All right, Jack.

Heh heh.

Havin'

a good time, love?

Well, look who's here.

Well, here's the bloody

silver spoon again.

What did daddy

give you

for Christmas

this year?

A healthy dislike

for dimwits.

A shout for the bar.

- Yay!

- Yay!

What do you want?

What have you got?

Everything.

Well, I'll start

with a rum...

and see where we go

from there.

Where have you been?

Don't worry

about it.

Just concentrate

on what you know best.

Haven't seen you around

for a while.

I better buy

a drink.

I could triple

that roll for you.

We can count on about

There are 8 good fillies.

Harry!

They're very good.

Are they for sale?

We'll keep

most for breeding.

I supply large numbers

of remounts every year,

regardless of conditions.

That's why I deal with people

like the Pattons.

They turn off

guaranteed numbers.

So you're not interested

in small lots?

Put bluntly,

it's not worth my while.

What if we're not talking

about small lots?

How about 100 a year?

Every family here
