for field trials

i thought this would be a good place to

run them

i'm sorry about the cauli getting

slashed mr miller

that don't bother me none

ain't it a little bit unusual for a male

to light into a female

well that was rango maybe the ride out

jittery i don't know

you better tell the kids to keep that

carly away from here she's got blood in

mineral it was dogs pit bulls now hold

on

man got some bull terriers up to

carrie's bar tell us grams

well like i said long ways back some

folks used to breed bull terriers to

fight each other they used to dig a pit

and put two dogs in it and let them go

and one got killed

dad you have to tell them things like

that well it's a gospel truth

you mean they let them fight till one

got killed

what they do that for for the same

reason they have bull fights in some

countries and cockfights and others

so people can make money

is that guy gonna have fights with his

dogs of course not

little while we're not through yet

gramps isn't finished telling me

as far as the subject of fighting dogs

is concerned we're through

now off with you

you can't keep him in a cage ellen

he's got eyes to see with he used to

hear with and i'm out to talk same as

you and me

i know dear but why teach him about

things that are dead and gone that'll

never happen in his lifetime

well i ain't so sure

hello jenny

george miller

say ring frank weaver for me will he

hello frank

george miller

oh no no cow's fine pigs are fine coat's

fine everything

just want to ask you a question

say frank did you ever hear them using

the bullet areas and field trials

i didn't think so

you don't say

well

just curious that's all

right

bye

what was that all about uh

nothing

set the table sure mom

tell you

later feel like i'm darning the holes

you two made in the holes i darned last

week

[Music]

do you say something mom

nothing important dear

you ain't paying attention boy you

shouldn't have made a move like that i

got you on a triple jump

i'm sorry gramps i was thinking about

something else

[Music]

must be tired honey how about turning in

[Music]

mom

why didn't you want grace to tell me

about the dog fights

it is a very pleasant subject is it

no but you always said that the most

important things were to learn and

improve your mind

that's quite true

but there's some things in life that

just aren't worth learning this is one

of them you mean i should never learn

about the bad things oh no

no i don't mean that at all

what i mean is that it's impossible in

one lifetime to learn everything there

is to know

so you have to pick and choose the

things that are important to you things

that will make your life better

[Music]

you see

good night and good night right now

good night gramps sleep tight son

gramps what do you think the man meant

when he said lassie had blood in her eye

well he figured that uh lassie had a

grudge against terrier kind of she got

bit

do you think she has

i doubt it but as best we keep her clear

of the carrie please

okay good night good night

[Music]

you didn't fool him man he's got the

same thing in mind i got

what are you talking about

i got my suspicions about that corn

fella same as jeff has

frank rieber says that bull terriers

don't work in field trials and besides

that the dog that bit lassie is a male

and no male would attack a female unless

he was bred to fight

i still don't know what you're driving

at i'll bet a dollar to a donor that

he's fixing to hold pit bull fights and

carries bar

oh no wouldn't surprise me a bit

you mean our friends our neighbors matt

brockway ed peace joe king and the rest

would go to see

dogs tearing each other to pieces of

course not fellows that run traveling

pit bull fights and cart fights and dice

games don't draw a local this one

figures to draw from capital city likely

what are you going to do about it don't

just sit there well for somebody that

doesn't want to talk about pit bulls you

sure got your dander up this is

something quite different now if you

just simmer down now i was just aiming

to call clay horton as soon as jeff got

to bed he's in bed now

yeah

he was about five foot ten or eleven and

wore spotty clothes

said his name was curran but that don't

mean nothing

well i i saw four but there might have

been others

yeah

said they run a man out of crest and uh

fitting his description last month for

holding pit bull fights clay's coming

over we're going to drive up there and

get a look i'm going no no no no no no

you're not you're going to stay right

here and cogitate about all the bad

things that the body don't have to learn

[Music]

for nothing else and to give that man a

piece of my mind well first off we ain't
