Black Beauty

COME ON, DUCHESS.

NOT LONG NOW.

COME ON, OLD GIRL.

RIGHT. COME ON. COME ON.

COME ON, DUCHESS.

YOU KNOW DAD HAD TO GO TO THE BANK TODAY.

COME ON, OLD GIRL.

COME ON, THEN.

HE'S A BEAUTY, ISN'T HE, DAD?

AYE, HE IS.

AND HE'S MINE, ISN'T HE?

YOU PROMISED.

WELL, I SUPPOSE YOU COULD SAY HE'S ALL YOURS.

MY BEAUTY.

MY BLACK BEAUTY.

BEAUTY! COME ON, BEAUTY!

COME ON, BEAUTY! COME ON, BOY!

GOOD BOY!

STILL, GINGER, STILL. GOOD BOY.

COME ON, BEAUTY! COME ON!

COME ON!

COME ON!

COME HERE, BEAUTY!

COME HERE! COME HERE!

COME ON, GINGER.

COME ON, YOUNG JOE!

COMING.

OH, IT'S THE HUNT, JOE.

COME ON, LET'S SEE.

WE'LL HUNT, BEAUTY, ONE DAY.

COME ON!

THERE GOES THE YOUNG SQUIRE.

YEAH. KILL HIMSELF ONE DAY, HE WILL.

OH, I MISSED THE HUNT.

BUT YOUNG SAM STANDS IN WELL FOR ME.

HE'S KEEN ENOUGH ON THE RIDING IS THE YOUNG SQUIRE.

OH, HE RIDES TOO HARD.

WHY, IT'S A GOOD SPREAD YOU HAVE HERE, EVANS.

LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU SELL IT TO ME, MAN?

BECOME A TENANT. IT'S BETTER THAN BORROWING.

I'D RATHER BE COCK IN MY OWN YARD.

THINK IT OVER, EVANS.

I NEED A FEW GOOD TENANTS.

I'VE GOT ENOUGH BAD ONES.

THE LOAN WILL DO.

I'LL TELL MY PEOPLE TO DRAW UP THE MORTGAGE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

NO CAUSE TO THANK ONE MAN

FOR BEING MORE FORTUNATE THAN ANOTHER.

I HOPE YOU'LL BE OUT OF YOUR TROUBLE SOON.

DO YOU SEE SAM?

I'M SURE HE'S IN THE LEAD.

I EXPECT HE WAS.

50 GUINEAS I BEAT YOU TO THE STREAM!

YOU'RE ON, ROGER! COME ON!

OW!

GET HIM OFF! GET HIM OFF!

HOLD ON.

AAH! OH!

OW!

HOW IS THE ANKLE?

BROKEN.

IN TWO PLACES, I THINK.

UH!

LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU.

THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT A GOOD HORSE.

I'LL GIVE THAT DEVIL A LESSON.

YOU'VE DONE THAT ALREADY.

NO! NO!

WE'LL NEVER GO HUNTING, BEAUTY.

NEVER. I PROMISE YOU.

COME ON, JOE. COME ON HOME.

STEADY, BOY. STEADY ON THERE, BOY.

STEADY, BOY! STEADY ON, BOY!

HA HA HA!

COME ON. STEADY! GOOD BOY.

STAND STILL THERE, BEAUTY.

WHO'S A GOOD BOY?

THERE.

COME ON, BEAUTY, LET'S HAVE YOU. UP.

LEG UP, BEAUTY. THAT'S IT.

THAT'S BETTER.

COME ON.

COME ON!

COME ON, BEAUTY. COME ON.

COME ON!

WHOA!

WHOA!

THAT BEAST'S A MENACE! HE'S A MENACE!

HE'S ALL RIGHT! IT'S HIS FIRST TIME...

DON'T TELL ME, BOY!

I KNOW A VICIOUS ANIMAL WHEN I SEE ONE.

WHAT HE NEEDS IS A LESSON,

AND HE'S GOING TO GET ONE.

NO!

I'M SORRY, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HIT HIM!

THIS IS A PRIVATE ROAD! WHY ARE YOU ON IT?

SQUIRE SAID WE COULD USE IT

AS A SHORTCUT TO OUR FARM.

I'M THE NEW SQUIRE NOW, AS NEAR AS DAMMIT.

I'LL HAVE YOU AND THAT BEAST SHOT FOR TRESPASSING!

WE DIDN'T MEAN ANY HARM.

GET OFF! GET OFF, I SAY!

COME ON, BEAUTY. COME ON.

STUPID MURDEROUS BEAST.

COME ON.

COME ON!

COME ON, BOY! COME ON!

GET ON, BEAUTY! GET ON!

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA, BOY!

WHOA! WHOA! GOOD FELLOW.

JOE, WHAT ARE YOU AT, JOE?

YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO HANDLE A HORSE!

HE'S YOUNG. THE WAY YOU HANDLE HIM NOW CAN MAKE OR BREAK HIM.

WE RAN INTO SAM GREENE, AND BEAUTY GOT UPSET!

SAM HIT HIM WITH A STICK!

HE SAID HE'S THE NEW SQUIRE

AND WE CAN'T USE THE NEW SHORTCUT.

OH, CALM DOWN, BOY.

COME ON, CALM DOWN AND TALK SENSE.

BUT HE DID! HE DID! HE HIT BEAUTY!

OH, BE QUIET, BOY.

I'LL TALK TO YOU WHEN YOU'RE SENSIBLE.

BUT HE DID! HE DID!

RIGHT, NOW. TELL US AGAIN...QUIETLY.

WELL, HE SAID HE'S GOING TO BE THE NEW SQUIRE

NEAR AS DAMMIT.

I DO HEAR THE OLD SQUIRE'S TERRIBLE SICK,

NOT LONG TO GO.

AYE, POOR OLD FELLOW.

VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE YOUNG SQUIRE.

AYE, HE'S A RIGHT BASTARD, THAT ONE.

HE HIT BEAUTY. HE IS A BASTARD.

JOE, WATCH YOUR TONGUE!

BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. HE IS TROUBLE.

MAN THAT IS BORN OF WOMAN

HATH BUT A SHORT TIME TO LIVE

AND IS FULL OF MISERY.

HE COMETH UP AND IS CUT DOWN LIKE A FLOWER.

HE FLEETH AS IT WERE A SHADOW

AND NEVER CONTINUETH IN ONE STAY.

IN THE MIDST OF LIFE, WE ARE IN DEATH.

OF WHOM MAY WE SEEK FOR SUCCOR BUT OF THEE, O LORD,

WHO FOR OUR SINS ART JUSTLY DISPLEASED?

YET, O LORD GOD MOST HOLY, O LORD MOST MIGHTY,

O HOLY AND MOST MERCIFUL SAVIOR,

DELIVER US NOT INTO THE BITTER PAINS

OF ETERNAL DEATH.

THOU KNOWEST, LORD, THE SECRETS OF OUR HEARTS.

SHUT NOT THY MERCIFUL EARS TO OUR PRAYERS,

BUT SPARE US, LORD MOST HOLY, O GOD MOST MIGHTY,

O HOLY AND MERCIFUL SAVIOR,

THOU MOST WORTHY JUDGE ETERNAL,

SUFFER US NOT AT OUR LAST HOUR

FOR ANY PAINS OF DEATH

TO FALL FROM THEE.

WELL, JOE, THAT'S IT.

HE WAS DECENT TO US.

YES, HE WAS.

WE SHALL MISS YOUR FATHER, SIR, VERY MUCH.

I'M SURE MANY PEOPLE WILL.

HE WAS TOO GOOD-NATURED BY FAR.

I DON'T SEE HOW A MAN CAN HAVE TOO MUCH GOOD IN HIM.

HE WAS A TARGET FOR EVERY HARD-LUCK STORY.

STILL, MR. EVANS, THERE WILL BE NO MORE OF THAT.

ONE HARROW, TWO PLOWS...

ASSORTED IMPLEMENTS...

WE DON'T HAVE TO CHECK ALL THAT LOT, DO WE?

NO. NOT WORTH BOTHERING ABOUT.

NO. RIGHT, SIR!

NOW, THEN, ANIMAL STOCK?

THIS WAY...GENTLEMEN.

HUH.

VERY NICE CONDITION, THESE BEASTS.

VERY NICE.

HORSES?

ONE MARE...DUCHESS.

ONE GELDING... GINGER.

GINGER...GOT IT. RIGHT.

A STALLION... BLACK BEAUTY.

WHERE IS HE, MR. EVANS?

HE'S NOT PART OF MY STOCK.

HE BELONGS TO MY SON.

HE'S DOWN IN THE BOOKS, SIR.

WELL, HE SHOULDN'T BE.

OUR ORDERS ARE TO CHECK EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK.

HE BELONGS TO JOE!

I DARESAY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME ARRANGEMENT

WITH THE SQUIRE. WHAT'S HE VALUED AT?

15 GUINEAS.

WHOA, BOY.

GOOD BOY.

COME ON, BEAUTY. COME ON, BOY.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

EXCUSE ME, SIR!

THE BLACK STALLION... I WANT HIM BACK!

I'LL GIVE YOU 15 GUINEAS FOR HIM.
