The Wild Stallion Page #3

- Right.

- How old are you?

- Eleven.

I got socks older than you.

- It's a fairy tale, you know.

- What?

- SHERIFF:
The Black Stallion.

- Black Stallion?

Well, that's

what you're here to see, isn't it?

Well, I don't know. Is it?

You mean, the famous Black Stallion?

That's what folks think,

but it isn't true.

There is no mysterious

Black Stallion here.

There's no Black Beauty here.

There's just a bunch

of beat-up old cayuses

parading around like wild horses,

and that's gospel.

You know a lot

about mustangs, do you?

Well, I've read a lot about them.

Cleveland, huh?

- Yes.

- That's in Ohio.

I know where Cleveland is.

I'm gonna see some I. D?

Ah, right.

Right.

Where are you looking

to take pictures of these mustangs?

- Bear Mountain Ranch.

- Hah! Mustang Matty herself.

She's crazy, you know that?

Well... I do know that.

Yeah, she's wound up

tighter than an idiot's watch.

- Really?

- SHERIFF:
Yeah.

Well, how far is the ranch?

Ten miles south of here.

- We appreciate your help.

- Bye.

SHERIFF:
I'm all heart,

wouldn't you say?

Have a nice ride.

- CJ:
Did you hear?

- Hear what?

About the babysitting.

Oh, you'll do fine.

But I wanted to get closer

with the mustangs this summer,

see if... he's there.

Well, now you have

someone to do it with.

Yeah, somebody your own age.

You think he's out there, Dallas?

Dallas doesn't think.

Oh, this is coming from a guy

who wanted to drop out of high school

because Larry had an opening

at The Lube Rack.

That was a good job.

Hey, a lot of people wanted that job.

It's true.

A lot of people wanted that job.

Most of them, however,

they put bottlecaps

on their front doors to look nice.

People like you?

When's this city girl coming?

- CJ:
Sometime today.

- Well?

You want to go look

at mustangs up at Starvation,

you better do it

before she gets here.

TY:
Of course,

you'll miss the rodeo club.

I think he's out there.

Maybe he is.

If anybody's gonna see him,

it will be you, CJ.

- Take your brother.

- Kyle? Why?

In case something happens. Besides,

brothers are handy to have around.

No, they aren't.

Well, do it anyway, squirt.

I think you would

use a toilet seat as a picture frame.

Your picture, man.

Well...

It's the end of the week.

I'm flying my plane down.

So have my car meet me

at that podunk airport of yours,

and have them

have some bottled water.

I damn near

turned into a mummy last time.

I'll meet you at that hayseed

BLM office on Main Street.

Could you be on time for just once?

Think you could handle that?

[Tires screech]
