Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken Page #3

Maybe the Movietone people

will come by,

take a moving picture

of me diving.

- I'll think about it, Marie.

- Hi!

We're not buying pencils today,

thank you.

Did you miss your bus?

I told you I wasn't going

to leave until you gave me a job.

This young lady

wants to be a diving girl.

That's a wonderful idea.

She could bring glamour to the act.

- What you doin'?

- This way he gets used to my smell.

That's right.

Indians used to do that on the plains.

- Really?

- Hmm.

I thought I just made that up.

Can you handle a wheelbarrow?

Are you kidding?

I was born handling a wheelbarrow.

- Can you shovel manure?

- Manure happens to be my "speciality. "

I believe that.

What about your family?

- They lookin' for you?

- Nope.

I'm not gonna give you

a job as a diving girl.

But we're leaving

tomorrow for Virginia.

I could use a good stable hand.

You interested?

- Yeah! Let's go to Virginia.

- All right.

Virginia.

I couldn't believe my luck.

I'd never been

to another state before.

I was really seeing the world now,

even if my view was more where

we'd been than where we were goin'.

But I wasn't gonna complain.

I finally had a real job,

helping Dr. Carver with the horses

during the off-season

at the farm he rented.

I was gonna be staying in the

most beautiful house I'd ever seen.

Things were looking up.

From here on, my life

was gonna be just swell.

You wouldn't mind

giving me a hand, would you?

Come on.

We gotta get them horses ready.

Hurry up. Everybody's

a cow tail around here.

We got a lot of work to do.

Lord knows, we'll take the bunch.

It's okay.

I got everything under control.

Sonora!

Come get this horse, please.

Wash him down.

Make sure he's dry.

Think you can manage that?

Yoo-hoo! Hi, Al.

How ya doing?

Whoa, Red Lips.

- Easy, whoa!

- Hold him! Hold him!

Hold the horse.

Marie, come get this horse.

Get him in his stable.

Get him in there.

If you can't handle the animal,

don't go near him.

Nice horse, huh?

That horse is spooked.

Where'd ya get him?

I won him in a poker game.

Full house, queens over threes.

- Looks loco to me.

- All he needs is training.

Do what you want.

Just keep him away from people.

I don't want anybody hurt.

Come on.

Just one little bite. Come on.

Come on.

I better get to know these horses

if I'm gonna be a diving girl.

Think you can do it?

Sure, if Dr. Carver

gives me a chance.

He's not going to give you

a chance, unless...

If you rode up

on this horse, he might.

- We could train him.

- What are we waiting for?

No, not now. We'll go out

first thing in the morning.

- All right.

- The old man can't know.

- It'll be our secret.
