Foxfire

Foxfire.

Deep in the night

it haunts me so

is it to always be

memory for me

of love that I used

to know.

I watch

the foxfire gleam

where has it gone

my broken dream.

Lost in the glow of night

love that seemed so right

wait.

Waiting, waiting.

And I yearn.

Yearning, yearning.

While the foxfire burns

in my heart.

I wait

and I yearn

while the foxfire burns.

In my heart.

Hi. Can I borrow your jack?

Me no Jack. No, no. Uh, a-a jack.

Jack to fix a tire. No got no jack.

Don't be silly. Everybody's got a jack. What if you had a flat tire?

You got jack? No.

Well, we no got jack. What's the diff?

Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute! I can go with you!

You can drop me off!

Hi.

Is that your station wagon back there?

Yeah. Do you mind giving me a lift to La Paz? We'll fix the tire for you.

Oh, no. Let them bother. It's too hot. But thanks.

Uh... Move, will you, Hugh?

Oh, I don't mind sitting in the backseat. Would you like a drink?

Oh, lay off it. Look, uh, if you fellows have been celebrating this morning...

I mean, it's not that I'm prudish. I just enjoy living.

With your equipment, you should.

He's all right when he's sober.

Get in, will you, please? Well, if you say so.

Hope I'm not taking you boys out of your way.

I've never been in Arizona before.

My mother has asthma, so we came out for a couple of weeks.

I like it here.

Are you... you sure you won't have a drink?

Hey, who are you trying to impress? I said lay off it.

He's a masterful type...

Strong, silent and masterful.

Does-Doesn't he remind you of a Saint Bernard? Huh?

He came into town this morning to rescue me.

I've been lost three days.

And they couldn't get along without me on the job.

Where do you boys work? At the Tyson Copper Mine in Lodestone.

Oh. Ever hear of it?

No. Well, Lodestone's been a ghost town for 50 years.

Now, he-he thinks he's gonna change all that. Right, Dart? Right? Hmm?

Is that your name? Dart?

Jonathan Dartland.

What do you do at the mine? Engineer.

I'm the doctor... Hugh Slater. How do you do?

The doctor? Yeah. Come over and see me.

I'll show you my diplomas.

What's your name? Amanda Lawrence.

Ah. Amanda Lawrence.

What kind of Indians are those?

Apaches. Mescalero tribe.

Boy, they're really stupid.

I tried to get them to give me a lift, and they didn't even know what I was talking about.

You're speaking of the people we love.

Yeah? Well, they give me the creeps.

I used to be crazy about Indians when I was a kid. All those movies I saw.

I was gonna devote my life to them.

Well, I'm glad I got over that.

What does it mean when Indians do this?

It means you're crazy. Well, maybe so.

Well, I'm sorry this is over so fast.

Why don't you two stay for lunch?

Delighted. No, we have to get back.

To the wife and kiddies? No, we just have to get back.

Well, listen. Mom's giving a dinner party tonight, and we'd love to have you.

Charmed, I'm sure.

Are we dressing? Well, it's nice of you, but...

Please. Things have been awfully dull up to now.

- All right. We'll try. - Good. 8:00.

And don't be late. Mom's sort of a pain that way.

We'll be there!

So long, Mandy!

Don't forget... 8:00! And thanks for the lift!

Wow! That's a lot of woman.

Hey, why didn't you tell her you were half Apache?

What difference does it make?

Are you sure he didn't have another date?

He's a very unsociable guy. He's afraid of dames... crazy fella!

Well, what exactly did he say?

Well, there was trouble at the mine. He couldn't get away.

He couldn't but you could? Don't they ever have anyone sick over there?

Well, I have a very able-bodied nurse who takes care of things.

Extremely able-bodied.

Not as able-bodied as you though.

You're a beautiful dancer.

Do you do other things as well as you dance?

Excuse me. Mr. Dartland?

Mr. Dartland?

You're not leaving?

I, uh... I didn't see you in there.

I'm sorry I'm so late. That's all right.

There was trouble at the mine.

Serious trouble? Oh, it could have been.

I bet you fixed it good.

Well, better late than never.

You, uh, look very pretty.

Thank you. So do you. Shall we go in? Oh, uh...

Do we have to? There are so many people in there I don't know.

The doctor told me you were shy.

Oh, about some things... Parties, people, mothers.

Mine's perfectly harmless. None of them are.

Well, would you rather walk and talk for a while?

That's more like what I had in mind.

You know, for a slow starter, you do all right.

Now would you like to tell me the real reason you were late tonight?

It wasn't trouble at the mine.

No. No, I almost didn't come at all.

I happened to pick up a Tucson paper... that article about your mother.

Why didn't you tell me she owned the New York Daily Record?

What's that got to do with anything?

Oh, it explains a lot about you...

Rich, beautiful, probably spoiled.

So?

So... what I mean is, what's a guy like me walking around with a girl like you for?

Well, uh, would you like to stand still and find out?

Well.

Did you have any idea that this would happen this afternoon?

I know I wanted it to.

I was afraid I didn't have a chance.

See how wrong you can be.

Where are you from? I...

I was born near here.

I guess I've lived all over.

For example?

Well, I went to college in Massachusetts.

I've worked in Syria, Peru, Venezuela.

All the other places don't seem very important now.

But Arizona's home, huh?

I keep coming back.

Got a family?

No, not exactly.

All alone in the world.

No, my mother's still alive.

She lives on the Apache reservation near here.

Her name's Saba. She's an Indian.

An Indian.

I'm half Apache. My father came out from Boston for his health.

Saba was his servant. Later he married her.

I'm sorry for what I said this afternoon.

That's all right. No, really. I'm sorry. I didn't mean...

I said it's all right. I don't have any feelings about it.

Tell me about... about you.

You life must be much more interesting.

No, it hasn't been.

But I think it could be.

How about the second section? What's the lead on that?

Put his column on the second page.

Better check our contract with him first.

Just a minute, Barkley.

Amanda, darling, do you realize it's daylight?

Mom, if you've got a shotgun, you can use it now.

Shotgun? What are you...

You're gonna love him too. What are you trying to tell me?

Have we got any Indians in the family?

Indians? Are you drunk?

'Cause if we haven't, we're going to have some soon.

Barkley, Amanda's lost her reason out here.

Must be too much oxygen in the Arizona air.

I'll call you back later.

Amanda, I'll talk to you now, dear.

What was it you said about Indians?

Oh, I was only teasing. He's just a little part Indian, that's all.

Oh, he's so pretty. Wait till you see him.

Well, I certainly hope I do before you do anything foolish.

You'll get a chance to, 'cause he'll be back.

Oh, I'll tell you all about him tomorrow, Mother.

His father was a professor, and his mother lives on an Indian reservation.

Operator. Get me the desk.

His mother lives on an Indian reservation?

Yes? Hello, this is Mrs. Lawrence.

I want two seats on the late afternoon plane for New York. Thank you.

Pardon me. Can you tell me where Jonathan Dartland lives? Uh, Dartland?

Yes. Ooh, uh, yeah.

You see that silver-colored house up there?

Yes. Well, that ain't it.

It-It's the one next to it with the red trimming.

Now, you go up around this bend and you veer off to the left.

Take your first turn right, up around the hill...

and that'll bring you slap-dab in front of the house.

All right. I think I'll find it. Thanks.

Dart?

Dart?

Dart?
