Ladies and gentlemen,
in the center ring,

Mr. Blake is now judging
best in show.

Mesdames et messieurs, aucentre,

Monsieur Blake judge
le meille urchien de la parade.

- Fine dog, Monsieur.
- Yes. Buy him.

- How high can I go?
- Up to five.

- $500. I don't think...
- $5,000.

Oui, Monsieur.

Shh.

Attends, attends.
Ne bouge pas.

Ne bouge pas.
Je veuxte prendre.

Ne bouge pas.

Attends.

Ce n'est pas grave.

Reviens!

Hey, arrete!
Hey, reviens!

Hey. Hey!

Red?
How did he get out?

- Get him.
- Monsieur.

Matt! Patsy!
Come back here!

Le chien! Le chien!

- Ou est le chien, Monsieur?
- What?

Le chien rouge qui courait,
s'il vous plait.

Come on, mechant chien.

Pourquoi tu t'es sauve?

On t'attend dans ta cage.

Son.

Just where do you think
you're going with that dog?

Le chien s'est sauve
de la cage. Je l'emmene.

- Just a minute, laddie.
- S'il vous plait, Monsieur.

Emile, this boy
doesn't speak English.

Find out what he's doing
with Red.

Oh, I speak English, Monsieur.

- But... But...
- But?

Quand ca va vite,
je cherche mes mots.

He says he does speak English,

but when events move rapidly,
he cannot find the right words.

Events are moving
much too rapidly.

You weren't trying
to steal this dog, were you?

- Quoi?
- Steal. Voler.

Oh, no, Monsieur.
I was looking for le boss to ask for work.

Ahem. C'est...

C'est Monsieur qui est le boss.

Oh.

Monsieur, I am
Rene Jean-Paul Dumond.

I am a strong worker.
I do not get tired.

I have lived with my uncle
who trap the fox.

But now my uncle is dead,
so I must work.

I am learning to speak English
from a book.

And I like animals very much!

I see. And that's why you let the dog
out of his run?

I did not
let him out, Monsieur.

J'ai ouvert la cage parce que le chien
avait la patte prise dans la broche.

- La patte? Excuse me.
- Oui, .

What did he say?

Red's pawwas caught
in the cage wire.

Which one?

- Laquelle?
- La patte gauche.

The left one, Monsieur. Stay.

- It is nothing, Monsieur.
- Good.

So, you want
a job? Work.

Oui, Monsieur.
I am a strong worker. I do not get tired.

- I have lived with...
- My uncle who trap the fox.

And you're learning English
from a book.

Oui, Monsieur.

Okay, son.
You've got a job.

- Merci, Monsieur le boss.
- Show him what to do, Emile.

- Monsieur.
- Come on, Red. Come on, boy.

Well, first thing
you must do...

..is put on your belt
so your trousers do not descend.

Oui, Monsieur.

"Sleep, slept, slept."

"I sleep, I slept,

I have slept."

This is the new bed
where I sleep.

This is the window
in the new room

where I sleep.

This is a chair.
This is a desk.

This is a floor.

This is a table.

Good morning, Mr Jones.

Good afternoon, Mrs Brown.

Good evening, Mr Smith.

"Did you walk
to the railroad station?"

"Did he walk
to the railroad station?"

"Did we walk
to the railroad station?"

"Did you walk
to the railroad station?"

Merci.

"I am, you are, he is,
we are, you are, they are."

I am, you are, they are...
sleepy.

- N'est-ce pas?
- Good evening, Mr Emile.

- Therese has fed you?
- Oui, Monsieur.

Your wife... Madame...
is a very fine cook.

Good.
Are you comfortable?

- Oh, oui, Monsieur.
- Good.

Because tomorrow,
you start working.

Come here.

All these here
will be in your care.

To keep clean, to feed,
to tend when they are sick.

Oui, Monsieur.

But especially this one.

Do you know how much
this dog is worth?

Worth?

Combine vaut le chien?

- Oh, how much is cost.
- Oui, ,.

That "how much" is $5,000.

Vous voulez rire?

I do not make a joke.

$5,000?
One dog?

Come here.

- Do you know what a dog show is?
- Non, Monsieur.

Well, no matter.
I'll show you pictures in the morning.

Anyway, there is such a show
in New York City next month.

Now, if he wins this show,
he'll be the best dog in North America.

Perhaps in the whole world.

And that is what Monsieur Haggin
wants more than any one thing.

- Tu comprends?
- Oui, Monsieur.

Be sure that you do,
because this is very important.

Well, you go to bed now.
Our day begins at 6:00.

Bonsoir, Monsieur.

Dors bien.

Good night, Mr. Jones.
Good night, Mrs. Brown.

$5,000.

It is an honor to sleep
in the same room with such a dog.

Good night, Mr Smith.

Gently.
Voila.

- Emile!
- Oui, Monsieur?

- Bring out Red, will you, please?
- Coming, Monsieur.

Monsieur wishes Big Red.
Outside.

Here you are.
Go! Go outside.

- Quickly! Outside.
- Oui, Monsieur.

No, no!
Not that way!

I am sorry, Monsieur.
The boy did not know.

It's all right.

Well, let's get to work?

Come on.

Thanks, Emile.
Now be tough on him.

That Westminster show
isn't so far off.

Yes, Monsieur, I will be
all the tough judges rolled into one.

Red, stay.

Ready, Monsieur?
Begin, Monsieur.

Red, heel.

Monsieur.

The head.

Head up.

Heel.

Head up.

Non! Parlez-lui avec douceur
et il va faire...

tout ce que vous voudrez.

What?
What did he say?

Nothing, Monsieur. The boy does not
understand these things.

- Go back inside and work.
- Just a minute, son.

Come here.

- Pas de baisers.
- Think you can handle the dog better?

- Non, non, Monsieur.
- Then what did you say?

I said, Monsieur, perhaps if...

if Monsieur would speak
to the dog...

avec douceur.

With gentleness, Monsieur.

With gentleness, Monsieur.
That is all I said.

I see.
Love conquers all?

Look, son, a dog is an animal.

He's governed by
conditioned reflexes.

Dogs are not people.
They don't have human reactions,

and the only way to handle them
is with a firm voice and a tight lead.

We'll try again tomorrow.

Thank you.

One does not
speak out to Monsieur?

Unless one wishes
to join the ranks of the unemployed.

Well. Here.

Take him for a run
in the fields.

but do not, under
any circumstances, let him off the lead.

- Oui, Monsieur.
- Go.

- Oh, Rene.
- Oui, Monsieur?

The next time Monsieur calls,

the front door, if you please.

Oui, Monsieur.

Whoa! Hey!
Pas trop vite, pas trop vite.

$5,000

and yet you cannot even walk
as Monsieur Le Boss wishes.

Bien sur. It should not be
difficult for a dog like you

a dog of such worth.

Come. We will try.

Come.

Droit. Heel.

Come here.

You want to be
a hunting dog?

To be useful and work
with Monsieur Le Boss, no?

In that case,
there is much to learn.

One does not become
a hunting dog overnight.

No, Red!

Red!

Come back.

Come on.
Now... stay!

The rabbit, no.

The pheasant, yes.

Tu comprends?

There. Thank you
for the feathers, Therese.

Taste.

It is... It is,
magnificent, Therese.

I agree. Sit.

- You will have a bowl of soup.
- No, thank you.

How can one put flesh
on your bones

when all the time you are running,
running with that big red dog?

- It is the red dog, no?
- Oui, ,.

And this, I suppose,
has to do with him somehow?

Oui, ,. This is called
the lure.

I will not ask
what that means. I'm too busy.

It is for hunting,
you see? To teach him.

And he is waiting
for me to begin.

It will take only five minutes
to eat a bowl of soup.

There is nothing
I would like better, Therese, but...

Oh, go.

As La Rochefoucauld has said,

when a man has something on his mind,
he wants nothing in his stomach.

It is very fine soup, Therese.

Go and run
with the big red dog.

I will save the soup
'til you come back.

All right, all right.
Enough running for today.

Sit.

Now, I have something
to show you.

This is a bird.

All right, this is not a bird.

But for you, it is a bird.

Now, the bird will always
be hidden in a bush.

Comme ca.

But you will not know in which bush.

So, you smell the air.

Voila.

You have it.

Now, you advance slowly.

And point. So.

Compris?

I give up with you.

You will never be
a hunting dog.

Go. Go walk around in dog shows
for the rest of your life.

But don't come to me for help.

All right.
I accept your apology.

We will try again tomorrow.
Now, we go home.

♪ Mon amour perdu ♪

Oh, Rene, that song
is so beautiful.

And sad.

It makes me happy sometimes
to be sad.

Yes. But now,
we will be gay.

Okay, Rene?

Alors.

Okay.
Un, deux, trois, quatre.

♪ Dum, dum, dum
diddly-diddly dum, dum

♪ Di-diddly
diddly-da da-dum

Enough! Enough of that noise.
I can hear nothing of the music.

It is the spoons
that is the music.

You hear that, boy?
My husband of many talents speaks.

Well, without the spoons,
what is he?

A very fine young man who plays
an excellent harmonica.

Well, I'm a very fine
older man who plays superb spoons.

Okay?
Un, deux.

♪ Dum diddle dum
diddly-diddly dum, dum

I will settle this.

Woman!

Oh, no, no. Please, go right ahead, Rene.
It sounded fine.

- It was nothing, Monsieur.
- We were disturbing Monsieur.

No, of course not.
I was just taking a little walk.

- Red isn't in his kennel.
- He is here, Monsieur.

Oh.
Oh, yes, yes.

- Well, you see...
- It was my idea. I suggested...

No, no, no, wait.
Hold it, hold it, hold it.

It's perfectly all right.
I was just wondering where he was.

It is my fault to bring the dog, Monsieur.
He was... s'ennuyait.

He was lonely, Monsieur.

- Yes.
- Oui, ,. He was lonely.

I asked to bring him up here, Monsieur.
I will take him back.

Come on, Red.

Come on, Red. Therese,
perhaps Monsieur would like a cup of...

- Coffee.
- Coffee.

- No, don't bother, Therese.
- Oh, no bother, Monsieur.

I was just thinking of
having one for myself.

Well, thank you very much.
You're very kind.

So,
the dog was lonely?

Oui, Monsieur.

I think the music
was good for Big Red.

- Oh. Improved his coat?
- Perhaps.

Has not Montaigne said,

the happiness inside
cannot help but show on the outside?

I guarantee Montaigne
never said anything as foolish as that.

It is never foolish,
Monsieur, to speak of happiness.

I think it is a good thing
that the boy and the dog have each other.

One should never be alone,

even when one has...

great wealth, big house...

- Now, Therese...
- I was just about to say, Monsieur,

that one must forget
that which has passed.

- One must go forward.
- You know, this is awfully good coffee.

Oui, Monsieur.
What good are all the riches of the world?

- Therese.
- Oui, Monsieur?

You know something?

I should have gotten rid of you
five years ago, before you learned to cook.

Slow down. Red! Slow down!

Red, wait!
I have lost my boot.

Red!

Red! Come back here. Red!

Red!

Red!

Red!

Red!

Red, qu'est-ce que c'est?

Red!

Red!

Red, you...

It was my fault, Monsieur.
I am sorry.

If Monsieur wishes,
I will quit le job.

I will not ask the full week of pay.
This would not be fair.

Never quit le job, son.

Just tell 'em you're unhappy
and ask for twice the money.

- You take the front. I'll take the rear.
- Oui, Monsieur.

- This is no good for his coat?
- That's right.

- It will spoil the showing?
- The show?

No, no, he'll be
all right by showtime.

But, from now on,
let's be careful?

You see, son, he's not like
our other dogs.

This dog
is what is called a bench dog.

Well, that means that,

that his kind aren't used for
any practical purposes any more.

Yeah. Well, now,
once, his kind were great hunters.

But they’re so good to look at
that the hunting points were bred out.

I guess you might say that they've
lost their most important point:

the sense of responsibility.

And yet Red is still
of such great value?

$5,000?

Yeah. And if he wins
best in show next month,

he'll be worth $10,000.

Got something here
I want you to see.

Look at that.

How do you like her?

- She is beautiful, Monsieur.
- She's for him.

To start the Wintapi Kennels
when he wins best in show at Westminster.

Not too bad?

Where is this cabin
of your uncle where you used to live?

North. Twenty,
twenty-five miles.

- Oh, up in the big pines.
- Yes.

I used to hunt up there.
That's pretty rough country.

Where did you go to school?

You never went to school?
But you can read and write.

Oui, Monsieur.
My uncle taught me.

Also, we had several books.

There was geography,
the arithmetic...

Well, that's all very fine,
but it's not school.

You know that school
is very important, don't you?

Oui, Monsieur.
School is most important.

But for me now,
it is necessary to work...

and make my way in the world.

Well, you won't get very far
without an education.

- If you want to be a success...
- A success?

Yes... Well...

- You know, make a lot of money.
- Oh, money.

That's what you want, isn't it?

Oui, Monsieur,
but most of all,

I want to be useful.

That, I think,
is the first thing.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess
that is the first thing.

'Morning, Spence.

- Mr Haggin.
- It's good of you to come up.

Emile, you know Mr Blake,
Montreal Kennel Club.

My handler, Emile Fornet.

- Emile.
- Monsieur.

Emile, bring out Red, will you?

- We're going to get an expert opinion.
- Monsieur.

Spence, I've got
a real problem.

You know I plan to show Red
at the Westminster next month.

Well, I don't know, but,
he seems uncontrollable.

Just doesn’t want
to perform any more.

That's funny,
an old trooper like Red.

Yeah. Well, you'll
see for yourself.

Thank you, Emile.

Red, heel.

Head up.

Red, heel.

Come here, Red.

- The boy takes care of him, doesn't he?
- Yes.

- You know what I think?
- I'm beginning to think the same thing.

Rene.

- Oui, Monsieur?
- Walk him.

Oui, Monsieur.

Faster, Rene.

That's it, all right.

Yeah, I should have known.
All right, Rene.

Emile.

Red is coming up to
the main house to stay with me

'til we leave for the dog show.

I don't want Rene to see him
for any reason whatsoever. Understand?

Oui, Monsieur.

- Do you understand?
- Oui, Monsieur.

- You'll stay for lunch, Spence?
- Thank you.

It happens that way sometimes.
They get attached to one person.

Well, we'll have
our lunch too?

Therese's good onion soup.
Come on.

Rene.

Pourquoi, Emile?

Why does Red go to the house?

Because Monsieur wishes.
Come on.

But... pourquoi?

A quoi bon?

Because that big, foolish dog
likes you too much.

He does not obey Monsieur.

And if he does not obey Monsieur,
he cannot win the show.

And if he does not win the show,
Monsieur will sell him.

That is pourquoi.

Sell him?
Oh, no!

Oh, no?
Oh, yes.

Just...
like that.

Well, come on.
Therese has blueberries too. Come on.

Fini, Monsieur?

Oh, yes. Yes, thank you, Therese.
It was delicious.

Rene!

There you are, Mademoiselle.

You are now in your own home.

Chez vous.

If you wish for service,
you have only to ring.

Rene!

- Here.
- Regarde.

Mademoiselle...
soon to be Madame, we hope...

Mollie O'Day, permettez-moi
de vous presenter

Monsieur Rene Jean-Paul Dumond.

Monsieur Dumond,
Mademoiselle Mollie O'Day.

She's quite a dog?

Oui, ,.

With this one for Big Red,

the Wintapi Kennel will be
the best in the world?

Oui, ,.

Qu'est-ce que tu as?

What is the good
of all this talk of kennel?

You said yourself if Big Red loses
the showing, Monsieur will sell him.

Then where's the kennel?

Yes. But Monsieur Haggin
is not a man who loses, Rene.

They are not judging
Monsieur Haggin.

Big Red will win.
I have confidence.

Emile?

It is tomorrow they go
to New York, no?

Oui, ,.

Would it be permitted
to see him tonight?

Just to say goodbye?

No.

For two minutes, perhaps?

For no minutes.
Red is now content,

and he will remain so.

Mademoiselle,
when you have rested,

there will be something to eat.

Hello, Big Red.
Comment ca va?

No, I cannot come in, Red.

It is not permitted.

Red, you will be
good in the show

for Monsieur
and... pour moi?

S'il vous plait, Red.

S'il vous plait.

Au revoir.

Red!

What is it?

It's Red.
Red, come here. Red!

Red!

- Put him to sleep.
- No! No, Monsieur!

Rene, I don’t want
to hear any more.

Do not kill him, Monsieur.
It was all simply...

Emile.
Je vais prendre soin.

You knew this dog's value, and you
were told not to come to the house.

Oui, Monsieur. It is my fault.
I have already said so.

But please, let me
take care of him, Monsieur.

Go ahead, Emile.

No, you cannot do this!

- You don’t want him to suffer, do you?
- Non, Monsieur.

Neither do I.

I think it is better
if you go to the kitchen?

Was it so bad, a boy who wanted
to say goodbye to a dog?

Oh, but I have forgotten.

He disobeyed Monsieur.
And this is terrible.

In all of history, no boy
has ever disobeyed a man.

Even one he respect and admire.

He didn't respect and admire
anybody except the dog.

Oh, but, Monsieur...

- I don't want to talk about it, Therese.
- Very well, Monsieur.

I know Monsieur does not like
to show what he feel.

For as Descartes has said, to
wear the heart on the sleeve...

Therese, it's over and
done with. Understand?

Oui, Monsieur.

Have Emile varnish over those claw marks.
I'd like it done this morning.

Good morning.

Comment ca va?

Not too good?

Well, breakfast will
make you feel better.

This is the cabin of my uncle.

You will stay here
'til you get well.

We have everything here.
Everything we need.

Even this.

Well, the appetite
has returned?

Now, we will try something.

C'est ca.

C'est ca.

Good.

Do not feel badly.

Your muscles
are stiff and sore.

We will fix that.

That's it.

Come on, Red.
Come.

One more step.

It is all right.
It is all right!

In no time, you will be
running like the wind!

Come on.
Come on, Red.

That's a boy.
Come on. Give me that stick.

Hey, stop that!

Hello, Molly, old girl.

Who let you out?

They think you needed
a little exercise?

Okay, when I finish here,

we'll take a little turn
around the fie...

Wait a minute.
You're not Molly.

Red, for the love of Mike,
where did you come from?

He was staying with me,
Monsieur.

At the cabin of my uncle.

Well, Rene,
I'm glad to see you back.

You did a fine job
with this dog.

He was practically dead.
What did you do?

I took care of him, Monsieur.

Now, I return him to you.

Well, I guess I can't thank you
with a lot of idle talk.

Tell you what.
You take him down to the kennel.

Tell Emile you're back,
and I'll tell Therese you're hungry.

No, thank you, Monsieur.
I am not hungry.

Then we'll both go down.

Let Emile see this.
He'll never believe it.

You're as good as new, old boy.
He'll take that New York show next year.

No, Monsieur.

Well, he's still valuable
for stud.

Guess we can't have
everything, can we?

Rene.

Never quit le job.

Sometime it is necessary,
Monsieur.

Not necessary at all.

- Emile needs help, and you want work.
- Monsieur.

I think it would be better
if I find other work.

Well, I can't force you
to work here.

However, I feel
I owe you something.

You owe me nothing, Monsieur.

Okay.

Okay.

Go back, Red. You must stay
with Monsieur. Go back.

Go back!

Come on, Red.

Yes, that's right, Jim.
I'm shipping both dogs this morning.

Just sell them for me.

Oh, Jim, Molly's having
Red's pups in a couple of weeks.

So keep one if you like
and sell the rest.

No, no.
I don't think so.

Yeah. All right. See what you can do
and call me. Thank you.

No comments, Therese.

What is to comment?
Monsieur sells the dogs.

- Thank you.
- A dog, a goat, a cat.

What is the difference?

- After all, a dog is only an animal.
- Therese.

And if the dogs remind one
of a certain person,

that is unfortunate.

The dog is a closed subject.

Oui, Monsieur.

There are many closed subjects
in this house. I know that.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

There.

That is better, no?

Oh, my.

What good is the water here
if you are there?

I'll fix it.

What kind of a lock is this?

Is made to close,
but not to open. Oh, I'll get it.

Ha, it's coming.

Qu'est-ce qui arrive?

Wait for me. I'll be back.

Oh, no, not again.

Monsieur Le Moose,
Madame La Moose. Allez.

No, this is not the same one.

Try the whistle
once more, Victor.

She is the same one,
and I have made my last whistle.

It is up to you.
Vas-y.

This is a thing without dignity.
You should not ask me to do it.

She's holding up
the entire schedule of the railroad.

- What if our passengers should see?
- Edouard.

Should one be ashamed
of a most remarkable talent?

When a moose is a moose,
that is one thing.

But when a man is a moose...

..voila.

Especially a man of your age.

- Louis, please.
- Edouard, the railroad waits.

En avant. Marche.

All right. I will do it.

Ha-ha!

I should have known
I'd find you here.

So, the grass
is more green in this place?

Alors. We go home now, Madame.

Regardez!

Madame, you are trespassing on
the private property of Monsieur Le Boss.

This is not permitted.

That's all right, Rene.

- Good morning, Monsieur.
- Good morning.

- Your cow, Rene?
- No, Monsieur.

She belongs to the farm
of Monsieur Mereau,

where I am working.

- I will bring her home.
- Oh, Rene, how's it been going?

It goes well enough, Monsieur.

Shh. Come.
Come.

- Go on, get! Come on.
- Thank you.

- Monsieur?
- Yes.

How is he, Monsieur?
Is he well, Big Red?

Red, ran away, Rene.

Over a week ago.
With Molly.

They were being shipped
to Montreal for sale

and got out of the baggage car.

Up in the Laurentians,
near Mount Tule de Leau.

Who went to look
for them, Monsieur?

I notified the forest rangers,

but I don't think
there's much of a chance...

Someone must look for them.

Rene, two kennel-bred dogs
wouldn't last a week in that wild country.

Red is different, Monsieur.

Believe me,
I'm as sorry as you are.

I can understand, Monsieur.

It is too bad
to lose all that money.

Impossible.

One could lose a thousand elephants
in those woods and not find them again.

Two thousand elephants.

My uncle has taught me

how to follow the tracks
of the fox and the wolf.

- A dog is no difference.
- Impossible.

- It has rained since.
- There will still be signs.

Sometimes a piece of fur
on a twig.

Or the grass will lie down on the field
where they have gone through.

Impossible!

Of course, when I was your age,

I never heard
of that word either.

We arrive at the place.

Bonne chance.

I hope you find the red dog
and his lady.

Merci, Monsieur.

But do not be too hopeful.

[harmonica grows louder

Red!

Red, I thought you were a wolf!

You old wolf-o!

I go to find you,
and it is you who finds me!

Sit.

Now, let me take a look at you.

Ce n'est pas bien.

You are nothing but bones!

But I have something for you.

Here, eat.

Well, eat. It is for you.

Smoked meat from the farm
of Monsieur Mereau.

Red, come! Red!

Red!

Red.

So, this is
a better place to eat?

Molly! So that is why
you took the meat.

For her.

Qu'est-ce qu'on a ici?

Madame.
Ca c'esttres bien.

Monsieur Papa, congratulations.
Your first-born!

But I do not think
it will be the last.

Stand back, Red.
A father is only in the way.

Good morning, Madame.

So you are awake?

The family is well, I hope.

I went for this.
Now we have everything we need.

Bonjour, P'tit Rouge.
Comment ca va?

But breakfast is over here.

With your permission, Madame,

I have named this one,
P'tit Rouge.

Little Red.

Bon appetit.

And when you are
big enough to travel,

we will all go home.

But that will be a while.

You and I will hunt,
Big Red,

and bring them
good things to eat.

He is tired, that one.

You would think
he had the family.

My mother used to say
about my father,

I can only remember her
a little,

but she used to say always

that the man rests after
the woman has done the work.

Good morning, Madame.

How are you? I wish you'd eat
your breakfast elsewhere.

Come on here.
Come on.

Over here, Monsieur Mereau.

You found her, that daughter of
a thousand devils.

So, that's how she got in.

This is not
a very strong gate, Mr. Haggin.

I'm terribly sorry,
Monsieur Mereau.

You were lucky to catch her.

She was eating my bush.

- Your bush?
- Yeah.

I don't like the look
of that bush.

Tu peuxt' empoisonner.

Might poison her.

To say nothing
of spoiling her milk.

I'd say that she's
in better shape than my bush.

Well, if she is poisoned,
it's possible I'll have to take steps.

In our province,
both the rich and the poor

are equal before the law.

Well, I'm very glad
to hear that, Monsieur Mereau.

- Monsieur Mereau?
- Yeah.

I thought the young boy Rene
was tending the cow for you.

That young
Rene Jean-Paul Dumond.

He is no longer in my employ,
Monsieur Haggin.

But, Monsieur...

He's no longer in my employ
for the simple reason

that he has not come
to work for two weeks now.

Perhaps he has gone to
that cabin of his uncle

to sit all day
and play the harmonica.

It's not impossible, you know.

You haven't seen him
for two weeks?

I have my work to do,
Mr. Haggin. Goodbye.

Whoa.

Whoa!

And if this cow
gets away again,

I'll have a good idea
where to place full responsibility, sir.

Good day, sir.

Up with the birds
this morning?

And preparing to fly away.

But before you
leave me forever,

can I have my breakfast, please?

You should travel to Paris.

La Comedie-Francaise
is missing a great talent.

What's this? For Monsieur?

Who else?

Monsieur's going
into the woods to hunt at this hour?

Oui, ,.

What would he find to hunt?
Deer season is not open.

One medium-size boy,
if he's lucky.

Quoi?

One medium-size boy.

Rene?

Do we know some other
medium-size boy?

But yesterday Monsieur said he was
closing Wintapi to travel to Europe.

That was yesterday.

When I came down, Monsieur stands
there where you are standing...

- I am sitting.
- You are sitting.

So, he stands there
where you are sitting.

Please, don't spoil the story.

He stands there,
and then out of nowhere,

he says, "The boy has left the farm
of Mereau. No one knows where he is."

"I am going to the cabin of the boy
to see what has happened."

To the boy's cabin?

Did I not say just that?
To the boy's cabin.

- So I said, "Monsieur..."
- I do not understand people.

- So I said...
- Yesterday he was closing Wintapi...

So I said, "Monsieur..."

I said, "Monsieur,
I am very worried"

that no one knows
where Rene has gone."

"Perhaps he lies helpless
in the forest

with a terrible sickness."

- You didn't say that?
- In French.

Well, I will get my things
and I will go with Monsieur.

You will go nowhere.

But it is many miles
to the boy's cabin.

This is a journey of the emotions.

There is no room for two.

Take this to Monsieur.

Vite! Vite!

All right. Don't make so much noise.
We will soon be there.

It is a good thing too, Molly.

I think your family is increasing
one pound with each step I make.

Hey!

Hey, hey.
Take it easy, Mike. Take it easy.

What's the matter?

Just your imagination, as I thought.
Come on. Let's go.

Come on, boy.

Mike! Steady, boy!
Steady, Mike, steady!

Mike!

Shh.
Red has seen something.

Well, he is going hunting again.

It is too bad.
Red likes so much to hunt,

but he never catches anything.

Red!
Come here, boy.

Come on, boy.
Good old Red.

Red, fetch the rifle.
Fetch it, Red.

No, Red. Let him alone.

Red!

Red, don't push him!

Red!

Watch out! Red!

Pretty good shot, Rene.

Monsieur's all right?

Monsieur may be all right
if you can get this rock off his foot.

Oui, Monsieur.

Say, that's quite a family.

Molly did herself proud?

Oh, oui.

I will try to be careful, Monsieur.

Monsieur will appreciate that.

Thank you.

You know, Rene,

I was wrong about him,
about Red.

I said he was irresponsible,

but he was ready to get himself
killed for me. Ouch!

Pardon, Monsieur.

Now, we'll try this.

Monsieur, there is something
I wish to say.

Save it.

Monsieur, I have been thinking.

I have made
many mistakes, Monsieur,

and those mistakes
were by my own foolishness.

I have caused Monsieur
much trouble.

Forget it, son. It's all
over and done with. Fini.

- Fini?
- Yes, fini.

Does...

Does Monsieur...

Would Monsieur want me
in his employ again, perhaps?

No, Monsieur would not want you
in his employ again, perhaps.

Rene.

- Oui, Monsieur?
- You're going to school.

You'll live with me at Wintapi,
and then you'll go to school.

- Oh, no, Monsieur.
- Don't you "oh, no" me.

L figured the whole thing out
while I was riding up here.

I'll probably have to help you
with your lessons until you catch up.

Monsieur, I could not accept
such a generous offer.

Why?

Look, son, let's cut
this horsing around.

I came up here because
I was worried about you.

- About me?
- Yes, you.

Now, you don't have
to accept this deal,

but at least let's talk
about it sensibly.

"Deal"?

What is a "deal, " Monsieur?

Well, a deal is a...

A deal's an arrangement
where both parties benefit.

Both parties?

Both parties.

- You need an education, and I... What?
- Monsieur.

You are right about this,
"horsing around."

There is nothing
I would like better in the whole world

than to stay with you at Wintapi

and go to school.

Okay?

Okay.

Get our pups and let's go home.

You tell me
if I lean too heavily.
