Maushop... that. Is that maushop?

Maushop... horse.

- Horse...

- Yes. Let me show you.

Horse. Come.

You see?

Touch him.

Don't be afraid. Touch him.

Horse. No, no, no.

He won't hurt you.

Don't be afraid. Touch him.

Maushop... horse.

We ride the horse.

Here. Let me show you.

See? I'm holding him gently. Gently.

You see?

Come on. You try.

(laughs)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold this.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Kick him. Give him a kick.

Give him a Iittle kick.

A Iittle more. That's it.

- Horse. Horse.

- Horse.

- (Daniel) Horse.

- He's quite good.

Well, he's not as good as we are, but he's...

There you go.

- Horse.

- Horse. Yes, you said it.

Horse.

Horse!

Oh, no. Come back!

You see what you get for your trust,

Brother Daniel?

He's a horse thief!

(horse neighs)

Aah!

Brothers! Brothers!

He's coming back!

Brothers! He's coming back!

Horse!

- Well done.

- (laughter/applause)

You see, Squanto? These are all books.

Book.

- Book.

- Yes.

Horse. Book.

Excellent.

Horse. Book.

I happen to be a man who has read

far too many books.

My head is full of all kinds of nonsense,

but I Iove books.

I Iove everything about them.

Let me show you. This is my favorite.

The Odyssey.

Second favorite.

Lightly. Gently, gently.

Yes.

You see?

Isn't it beautiful?

Nakooma.

Nakooma? This one?

Nakooma.

That is your word for "woman"?

"Nakooma."

That is his word for "woman."

Let me show you.

I'm going to teach you my Ianguage,

Squanto.

And Iearn yours if I can.

If I can discover where in this vast world

you've come from,

perhaps I can help you to go home.

- Nakooma.

- Nakooma.

- Woman.

- Woman.

- Fishing net.

- That's right. Fishing net.

- Brother Timothy.

- Brother Paul? Brother Paul...

What are you wearing on your feet?

Hm?

Oh, uh... footwear.

- Show me this footwear.

- Cheese?

Brother Timothy, I said

show me this footwear!

Squanto made them.

They're extremely comfortable.

Brother Timothy, you did not join

this monastery to be comfortable!

There will be comfort enough

in the Iife to come.

Yes, Brother Paul.

This is a cloister!

We have secluded ourselves here

to worship,

not to be distracted by visitors!

Oh!

Hey, Brother Paul!

Brother Daniel!

We are forgetting our purpose here,

Brother Daniel.

There's nothing sinful in this.

Your pagan friend has disrupted

our quiet Iife.

- (men shouting)

- It's time he Ieft.

- Oh, he can't Ieave.

- Why not?

- He's still recovering from his injuries.

- Oh, indeed.

Well, I'm not a doctor, Brother Daniel,

but it would appear

that he is fully recovered.

But he's Iearning from us, Brother Paul,

and we are Iearning from him.

He's beginning to speak
