The Man from Snowy River

Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy now, girl, easy.

Easy, easy, easy.

Mr. McGregor.

Come on, yeah!

Ha, watch this.

Who's winning?

What do you think you're doing, Josh?

What dos it look like?

My turn after Billy.

You're not playing.

Why?

'Cause you're a McGregor

- No McGregor's are running in the big race this year.

They all squibbed out.

Did not.

- Then why is Rob, Colin and Danni not riding?

They all squibbed out, just like him.

Take that back.

Make us.

Yeah, come on squib, make us.

Take that back!

Ah, get off me.

Uh, it is rather colorful.

- Oh, color is exactly what is needed for such an event.

It brings out the festive spirit.

I don't know about being festive.

It is a very dangerous race.

Men have been killed trying to win it.

Nothing heroic can be achieved

without an element of danger.

In the Ukraine, my uncle and I

had to go catch a bear and train it for the circus.

Josh!

What happened?

Nothing.

Here's your eggs, Hannah.

Nothing?

Look at your face, your clothes!

Who did this to you, Josh?

No one.

I fell over.

Don't fib to me, who did it?

No one.

Josh!

Danni, it's all right.

If Josh said he fell over, he fell over.

Yes, of course, Danni.

Little boys always tell the truth.

Whoa.

- Didn't mean to startle you back there, Mr. McGregor.

Just giving the horses a bit of exercise.

Yeah, well, look like they needed it.

- That bay of mine will take some running down in the race.

Les reckons his chestnut will do it.

But he's in for a surprise.

Hey.

- It's a pity you don't have fast horses, Mr. McGregor.

You might have been the only one

to give me a run for my money.

You're a scot Andrews and a two-bob.

- There's no way I'm hitting you in that race.

With your chestnut old filly.

This might sting a bit.

Ah.

Morning, all.

Hi, Dad.

Josh, what happened to you?

Got into a scrap with some of the kids.

Oh, that's not like you.

What was fight about?

Nothing.

- Come on, fights are usually about something, aren't they?

Josh?

Go on.

Out with it.

I'm not a squib.

What?

- Dennis Andrews and Billy Cooper called me a squib.

Why?

They called us all squibs

because there's no McGregors in the big race this year.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

Of course it is.

The McGregor's have won this race

more than any other family in the district.

- They don't know what they're talking about.

Do they, Matt?

No.

They might like to think they're

all the brothers of the flashest riders in town,

but that's their problem isn't it, Dad?

Yep, it sure is.

- Now, don't forget, it took two of them to beat you.

So you remember who the real squibs are.

So how's the new yard going?

- Still waiting for some more wire to arrive.

I'll have to come in again tomorrow.

Don't worry about Josh.

You know how kids are.

Oh yeah, sure.

Look I might be heading off.

Emily.

Matt.

You stay out of trouble, you hear?

You leave those bigger blokes alone.

Two to one the field!

Two to one the field!

Pound, Andrews, two to one.

30 shillings on Andrews at two to one.

Come on gents, get your bets in.

Andrews at two to one.

Here comes a big one, five pounds, Andrews at two to one!

Come on gents.

They're like flies.

They're coming in.

These odds can't stand, two to one Andrews,

two to one Andrews.

Six to four the field, gents.

Six to four the field.

Oh, come on, don't be shy you are amongst friends, come on.

Six to four the field.

Six to four.

Here we go a pound.

Bernie.

Ah, come to have a bet, Matt.

- No, I've come to pay my entry fee for the race.

It's still a sovereign?

Entry fee?

You?

Forget it.

Oh, I'll put your name down.

But the committee wouldn't let me take any money from you.

It's an honor just to have you competing.

Ah, thanks, Bernie.

Did I hear right, Mr. McGregor?

You're actually entering the race?

- Well, there's nothing wrong with your hearing, is there?

You're getting a bit long in the tooth

for it, aren't ya?

Age has got nothing to do with it.

No?

Why don't we see what the bookie has to say about that.

- One pound Andrews at six to four.

Mr. Evans.

Yep.

What odds will you lay on Matt McGregor

winning this year's race?

McGregor?

He's not entered.

He has now.

70 to one Matt McGregor.

Any takers?

80 to one Matt McGregor.

Any takers?

A hundred to one Matt McGregor.

Oh, come on, gentlemen,

a hundred to one Matt McGregor.

I'd say you've just wasted your time.

We'll see about that.

Good afternoon, Miss Hale.

Lovely day.

Now that's what I call a good looking woman.

- Yeah, you got a problem with her nose though.

Why's that?

Keeps looking down at everyone.

Especially us.

Nah, that can't be right Les.

She'd just playing hard to get.

- Any harder to get and I'd be in the next country.

That's good.

You boys dried behind your ears lately?

Huh?

- Because they look dripping wet from where I'm standing.

- Oh. - Oh, sorry.

Sorry.

Oh, my fault.

No, no, no, not a bit.

I wasn't watching where I was going.

- Neither was I, so I reckon that makes us square.

Come on.

Hey.

Shipmate.

Looks like you've lost your rudder.

Yeah, the ocean's that way, mate.

Yes, that's right, it's a horse.

A sea horse.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, sir.

What can I do for you?

Hats.

Ah, very good.

These are the latest most popular models.

Made from only the very finest materials.

Ah.

This one is you.

Believe me.
