The Horse Whisperer

That shit!

- Hello! - Hello!

- So, did you ask 'em? - Yep. They said fine.

Oh, good!

Sure it's okay with your mom, though, right?

Yeah, she doesn't care. She's working.

Isn't she coming up this weekend?

I don't know.

So come on, how cute is he? Spit it out.

- Oh, he's kind of gorgeous. - Yeah?

He's sort of like a cousin, but not really. He wants to be a forest ranger.

Oh, good! Well, then after dinner we could set a fire in your room, and he can come and rescue us.

You should've seen the look on her face.

I never laughed so hard, I swear to God. I just can't believe you might miss it.

Hi, Gulliver. How you doin', boy?

Hey, Pilgrim.

Come here.

Hey, babe. You're such a beautiful boy.

What are you thinkin'? What are you thinkin', boy?

You wanna go for a ride?

Let's go for a ride. Come on. Come on, boy. Come on.

- Hello? - It's me.

- Hi. - Hi.

- So what train are you taking? - I should be in by 2:00.

Okay. You want me to pick you up?

No, I can take a cab. Grace go riding?

What do you want to do about dinner?

- I hadn't thought. - I can ask to try that place Emily says...

- Oh, hang on. - They're here, so...

I'll let you go. We'll figure it out when you get here, okay?

Yeah, okay. Okay. Bye. Hello?

Please! Oh, God, please!

Oh, wait. Have you seen that stupid cereal commercial? It's like...

- And where are the paintings? It's about her work, and we can't even see it. - But we're trying to...

We can change the colour of the deck, and we can move it up so then you can see the paintings...

We need to see the paintings. She's an artist.

- Have you checked on her going rate? - Gottschalk.

Yes. The legal department's on that right now.

- David! - Did you speak to Felton?

Yes, we're suing.

Well, is that absolutely necessary? It'll just make it a bigger story.

- Am I on the speaker? - David, he signed an agreement that he wouldn't talk to the press...

and now he's libelled me by saying I faked the figures.

- You're not going soft on me, are you? - Well, nothing like a good public feud.

Exactly!

- You know that kid Adam? - Yeah.

- He's very cute! - I think you'd make a good couple, Grace.

- I don't think so. - Oh, I do!

- You think he's cute? - Are you serious?

- I think he's cute. - Oh, I think he's lucky that he lives next door to you.

- I think, I think I... - What do you think?

I think you have a crush on him.

All right, let's take a shortcut. Let's take a shortcut.

- You know, we can't even read it. - Friday is confirmed. - Right, okay.

No, no, no, no, no, no. We have to reshoot this.

- I said it. I said it. - I said that.

- It's "that." It's "that." - I said it

- I swear to God, it's "that." It's "that." - It, it, it, it!

- All right, fine. Let's start again. Ready? - All right, fine, fine, fine.

All right. I met him at a party

And he told me how to drive

He said he'd like to do it backwards

I said it... It...

- Come on. - Judith.

I said it... It!

Come on!

Gulliver. Gulliver, up! Up, Gulliver!

- Judith! - Hey! No! No, no, no!

Grace, look out!

- Pilgrim! Judith, Judith! - Grace!

Hello!

No!

Gulliver!

Gulliver, stop! Hold it, Gulliver!

Gulliver! Come on!

Robert.

Judith's dead.

And what about Grace?

- She's in pretty bad shape. - It's a multiple trauma.

- Where is she? - She's still in the O.R.

- O.R.? What for? - It's just... It's...

It's a mid-shaft, tib-fib fracture with a vascular compromise, meaning the blood supply to the lower leg...

They think they have to take part of the leg off.

Which leg?

The right leg.

Oh, Jesus.

Okay.

Just take it easy.

This is gonna be tough on both of us.

So let's not make it any harder than it has to be.

Judith.

- That bag's almost empty. - Oh, they'll be in to change it.

If you leave it up to these people... Excuse me.

- My daughter needs a new I.V. - Yes, I know. We have her down.

Well, I'd like it taken care of now, please.

You have to stay on top of these people constantly.

I'm sorry.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

We really should let her get some rest, and I do have to change the bandage.

You can come back in a couple of hours and see how she's doing.

Mrs MacLean? Mrs MacLean, you have a call on line two. You can take it right there.

- Hello? - Annie, it's Liz. How's Grace?

Her leg was very damaged, and they had to remove it.

Oh, God. Annie, I'm so sorry.

Listen, I, I know that you're being hit with a lot now...

and it's hard to think about anything else, but I have to talk to you about Pilgrim.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm here.

I've never seen an animal with these injuries still breathing.

I'd like your permission to put him down.

- It's, it's really the best thing... - I... Y... You mean shoot him?

- Annie. - Well...

Look, Liz. The doctor's here right now...

and I can't make this decision on my own.

- Annie, I understand that, but I have to know... - Just do what you can.

- Okay? - Annie, no matter what I do, this horse will never be the same.

Well, look, I, I, I, I just don't know. It's Grace's horse, so when she...

- It's not right to make it suffer. - I cannot deal with this now, Liz.

If you need a yes or a no, then don't do it.

Okay? Just, just, just, just do what you can for him, okay?

Right.

Animal should be put down. Anybody can see that.

What did he say?

Nothing. He's just going off duty.

Well! That's important information?

Christ.

Doctors?

I'm gonna get to know all the nurses' names.

It's, it's good to know their names.

- I'll go get some of her things. - I'll go.

No! I'll go. You stay, in case she wakes up.

You guys go on ahead. I'll be up by Christmas.

Oh, I meant to tell you. I got those tickets for the Knicks game.

Good.

- Wanna come, Annie? - No. Why don't you go with a friend, Grace?

Yeah.

Wanna eat something else, honey? We can order out something else.

No, I'm just not that hungry. That's all.

Well, you should try to eat anyway. It's the only way you're gonna...

I said I wasn't hungry.

- Wanna watch some television? - I think she should finish first. - Maybe.

I just... I... I can't.

- Here. - I'm sorry.

No, Dad! I got it. Got it.

Sorry.

- You've got to stop doing that. - What?

Helping her all the time.

Running to her every time she trips, anticipating her.

You know, Annie, this didn't just happen to you.

Hi, Grace.

I don't care what he told you. The man's a liar.

He's a actor, for God's sake.

He'd do anything to get a cover.

Gracie, what happened?

It doesn't matter. I just...

I don't wanna come back. That's all.

Well, what are you gonna do? I mean, you have to go to school, sweetheart.

I said no!

I don't want to come back. That's it. I wanna go home.

Grace, listen to me.

Your leg is just healing, and you have to give the rest of you time as well.

Is that your version of a pep talk?

Well, you're not staying home all day, feeling sorry for yourself.

You're gonna get up, and you're gonna figure this out.

Fine.

It's still early. What's your next class?

Gym.

Appears to be an excellent jump. Head and hands, eyes, perfect.

Pilgrim moves with absolute confidence at the command of Miss MacLean.

- What is it, sweetheart? - I wanna see Pilgrim.

- Hello. - Hi. - Hi.

It's so good to see you. How are you doing?

- She's doing just great. Aren't you, kiddo? - I'm fine.

Watch your step.

Mind how you go. It's muddy back there.

Back there?

Well, what do you, what do you mean? Why isn't he in the barn with the other horses?

Well, Grace, you see...

Pilgrim just isn't the same horse that he used to be.

As a matter of fact, maybe now's not the best time for you to see him.

I really wanna see him.

Can you open it, please?

Hey!

Hello, beautiful boy.

- No! No! God, no, no, please - Grace.

- No, Grace. - No, no, no, no. Leave me alone!

Here. Grace. Grace!

Mr MacLean, I'm so sorry.

- Dad, why didn't you tell me? - I'm so sorry.

You should've told her, Annie. This animal is beyond help.

Annie, can I have your permission now to put him down?

No.

And get me every publication on riding, racing, breeding.

Everything. Medical publications as well.

Veterinarian journals. And tell them it's me, and I want it now.

- Hold on, hold on. Gottschalk. - I'll call him back.

- He says he's on his way to the airport, he really needs... - Lucy, I'll call him back.

I'll call him back. Just get me what I want.

"A million years before man..."

"they grazed the vast and empty plains..."
