a dirty savage.

I didn't call you dirty,

I called you stinkin'!

Stop it, Boone!

Listen to me. Boone is leaving.

You don't have to live together.

Where can I buy coffee?

I like to start my day with coffee.

OK, if you'll be good,

I'll make you breakfast.

Omri cooks! Like a woman.

You are a woman.

Please! You guys

are so old-fashioned.

I'll have you know

I'm a civilized man.

Unlike some!

Where did you come from?

I come from Texas, Mr Half-a-Brain.

The United States of America,

comprende?

Omri, Texas?

- You're from Texas?

- Proud of it.

- Where are you taking me?

- To school.

- White man goes to school?

- That's right.

- I go to school.

- You wouldn't like it.

- He can go, I can go.

- It's too risky.

- Whiskey?

- Risky! Dangerous!

Good. I like danger.

Do you like danger, Texas man?

Are you threatening me, Injun? You'll

need some help to get this scalp.

Omri, send him back. Do it.

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Bye-bye.

You got him?

Careful, he's so delicate. Come here.

- Boone's in the front...

- Let me have him!

I got to check on Little Bear.

- You all right, Little Bear?

- Let me have that!

- Come on! Give me him.

- Calm down, Patrick.

Boys!

School, remember?

All right, thank you,

Malcolm and George.

All right, let's have...

Emily and Loretta.

Loretta and I...

We're making a map

of the United States.

We built it here on a piece of wood.

We made the whole country

out of flour,

water, salt and food colouring

using beans for mountains,

yarn for the rivers

and rice for borders.

We're making the desert

out of brown sugar.

I thought America should

be green and yellow.

Loretta thought it

should be more like beige...

What are these folks talking about?

...to make it more topo...

- Topographical.

Sounds to me like they've

been hitting the old tornado juice.

You ever been west

of the Mississippi?

Big river?

I have travelled far north.

- Land of the Micmacs.

- Micmacs?

Sounds too cold for me.

- Must be purty country though.

- Yes. Cold.

Purty.

Thank you very much.

OK, now, let's have...

Omri and Patrick.

I'll do it!

We both agreed that I'll do it.

I'm the best talker.

You all know that.

Patrick and I are making a volcano.

It's... made out of Play...

Mixed-up Play-Doh, it's big and...

The smallpox.

Yes.

Will you marry again, Little Bear?

If there is a woman for me.

Maybe have another little child.

Yes.

I will heal when

I have another child.

Little children

are the sun and moon and the stars.

Good morning, boys and girls.

Today, lunch is macaroni and cheese

and a build-your-own sandwich.

Don't worry about the iguana,

moulting is a natural process.

Origami is cancelled today.
