Wings of the Wind

Lord...

How did you make theheavens and the earth?

If you made everyoneand everything,

why do bad things happen?

To teach us a lesson?

You're god ofthe universe.

Aren't you in control?

Nothing to say?

Jesse: Rose!

I'll justtalk to a bird.

Hiding out inthe field again?

Not hiding...Hiking.

Right.

I was having a greatconversation with a bird.

I don't think you'llbe finding the

answers in the field.

Well Jesse, you provideno more answers

than the bird.

I'm your cousin.

I don't need toprovide answers.

I think I'll leavethat for the birds.

New bird?

Yeah. just came in today.

Think you cancheck it out?

Did you call me or not?

Must have been a bird.

You expectingsomething?

Come on.

Did you get them?

Get what?

You know whati'm talking about.

Oh, that!

Maybe I did get them.

I knew it!

What?

No, those aren't for you.

I couldn't find you any.

I love them, Wes.

Well, I suppose youshould start planning

your first hike.

Yes, but Stephen saysviolin must come first.

When did you startplaying the violin?

Yesterday!

Why'd you take offback at the hangar?

You made itpretty clear you

didn't want to talk.

Besides, I'm sure yourtalk with the birds

was very monumental.

You're alwayschallenging me to talk.

Well, now dear cousin,i'm ready to talk.

Are you really?

'Cause it looks likeyou're just looking

to pass the blame.

I know whereto pass the blame.

You can't blame godfor your brother leaving.

Everyone i'mclose to takes off.

Choices weremade, Rose.

I gotta fly.

Who's leaving now?

Rose.

When did youget back in town?

Just now.

Why are you walking?

'Cause I'm not flying.

No wings today?

No, every singlebird is in the shop.

Where we off to?

I got no place to be.

I got an idea.

We don't want Togo looking at birds.

It's called "birding".And I have something

a little moreprofitable in mind.

Whoa, I haven't seen astack of cash like that--

keep your hands off.

Where'd you get it?

Just drive.

Now, I'll coveryou guys tonight,

but next time you'rebringing your own stake.

No thanks. Not me.

Yeah, I don't know, Seth.

Don't get in alather about it, Jesse.

It's ten sawbucks, fivecard draw, no limit.

A hundred bucksis high stakes, Seth.

We'll be at the sametable and I'll clean it.

No risk.

C'mon, Jesse. Wedon't do this.

I know. We can'tjust leave him here.

Well, i'llbe in the car.

What a bunch of losers.

I'm out too.

You're back in now.

No, you know what?I'm not doing this.

This can't be controlled.

Um, I lookpretty in control.

Pay your fees andlet's go, all right?

You go ahead. I'llcatch a ride home.

You're going tobe part of the

hiking competition, right?

I'm looking forward tocompeting against you.

You gonna help charliewith mapping

out the event?

C'mon, Rose. You know allthe great birding areas.

What's up with you?

The dream again.

Bread for stones.

Snakes for fish.

It makes no sense.

It just tells me you'vegot hiking on your mind.

You know, stonesand snakes?

Hat...extra socks...Towels.

I'll take theflashlight and bird books.

And I'll pack thecanned beans for lunch.

Mirror.

I'm gonna need a firstaid kit by the time

I'm done with this girl.

Good idea.

We do need afirst aid kit.

Why can't wetake the mirror?

The key is toconsolidate only needed

items into the packs.

I guess thateliminates Josie's

wardrobe over there.

Hey!

These are needed.

Why do you havethat huge blanket?

This is somethingwe may need.

To cover up withor for shelter.

We don't needfour outfits.

What if I getdirty or wet?

You'll dry!

Hey!

I think we should leaveout the outfits

and the blanket.

It's only a two day hikeand the cabin will have

blankets, so let's juststick to the essentials.

Also, we need to starttraining with our packs.

Why?

Because it'sextra weight.

Mine doesn't weighanything at all.

It's empty,you knuckle head.

Cool it!

Now obviously wewill need canteens,

notepads andextra food packs.

Don't forget aunt Ella'ssweet potato biscuits.

You'd think of that.

What?

You realize you soundlike a chicken clucking

when you do that, right?

So dad, whatdo you think?

I think not.

Dad, this is unfair.

I can fly a plane asgood as any man

and you know it.

That's not the point.

This isn't about any man.

Well, it's about me, ifyou haven't noticed that.

I am fully aware.

You can't avoidthe inevitable.

Tomorrow the answerwill still be no.

I'm a pilot, dad.

Whether youlike it or not.

I can fly this plane.

You're not ready yet.

You're just tryingto prove yourself.

You can't protect meby not letting me fly.

I'm not doing that.

I'm just saying no.

You're not going tofly this or any

other plane right now.

I have Seth to blamefor this, don't I?

No. it's just that yourattitude is getting

in the way of yourjudgment as a pilot.

Walking away never solvedanything, Rose Cornell.

Mom and Seth are gone!

I'm not!

Doesn't that matter?

Everything here looks fine.

I don't know whathappened to cause the

drop in engine power.

I've missedsomething somewhere.

I just don'tknow what it is.

If Rose wasn'ta good pilot,

she would have crashed

and it would havebeen my fault.

It's not about you.

I talked to jenkinsdown at the garage.

He's pretty interestedin hiring you.

Not yet.

He's a good man.

He'll treat you fairand he'll pay you good.

I've got a plan.

You're a good pilot.

And a great mechanic.

You need to getover what happened.

I'm not reallyinterested in that.

I'm not doing that again.

You know that book isnot going to help you.

What? this book is great.

That guy was convictedof gambling last year

and you need to stayclear of him.
