[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

Chris that's dirty pool oh

I'm sorry bill lassie thought you said

he'll

maybe you ought to go change clothes

before that thing shrinks in your really

embarrassed or cute color I'm gonna get

you next year

yeah well Scotty Macpherson has his way

the clans gonna sell the old Highlands

large there won't be a next year well

from what I hear he's put together a

pretty good deal I just can't imagine us

selling this place after all these years

well Scotty's got a lot of support yours

that's a tough call

a lot of memories

then again that's a lot of money

thanks for your help Lassie but

shouldn't you be working with will how

do you expect to win the sheep herding

contest without practicing I

[Music]

know how you feel I

had to do it last year

Thanks hi I'm Brian Macpherson making

mcculloch yeah I know

[Music]

and finally I hope we can become friends

and that you'll think of me is just

Jamie rather than James L wala check

land developer

thanks for your hospitality

Thank You mr. wallet check Jamie

well now you all know me and scotty

Macpherson

I

am getting tired of having to scramble

every year to just pay property taxes on

this place if we do keep it the County

says we'll have to redo the plumbing and

replace the roof and the out buildings

are about to collapse

but there is a solution

since the highlands lodge is co-owned by

clan McCullough and clan mcpherson all

they have to do is muster enough woods

they approve a sale and

what true Scotsman would object to

making a lot of money

well I say we put this thing to a vote

right now dad taught them solid we're

not giving up without a fight are weak

Scotty

yes McCullough what is it you're right

when you say that keeping his large up

as a struggle anything worthwhile uski

is Chris this Lodge has been running out

in Los for five years a

minute

this place isn't about profits or losses

it's about families and tradition

remember the first time each of you

march to the Pipers across these hills I

certainly do

I've got 23 proxy votes who feel the

same way I mean come on between the

McCullough's and the Macpherson's we've

got carpenters electricians all kinds of

craftsmen if we all just pitch in

together do the work ourselves we can

cut the cost in the half you always wear

a dreamer McCullough that's why you're

still a two-bit handyman independent

contractor a gentleman please I don't

want to be responsible for any bad blood

here

however let me remind you that time is

of the essence I'll need a decision

within 48 hours

please excuse me

you tangle with me on this McCullough

and it might just blow up in your face

you can do this lassie your natural

earnings in your blood

it's your heritage had a trophy for

scattering sheep she'd win it hands down

all right Rob knock it off Lacey be

better fetching a stick

don't pay any attention to them Lassie

we'll be all right we can do this

well if we got a deal nope a problem

Chris McCullough got the vote postponed

till tomorrow night tomorrow's all right

hey but we've got to watch him the more

he talks the less chances we have to

make a deal sounds like this McCullough

can be pretty persuasive

well so can I

[Music]

this is the first time you've been to a

gathering of the clan on the west coast

yeah

we just flew to San Francisco this year

I guess I should apologize to my

grandfather we got a little carried away

at the meeting oh don't worry about it

somewhere in the past mcculloch and

Macpherson must have had a disagreement

and it just kind of got past time now

it's a tradition so by tradition when I

supposed to like each other right that's

what they say what are you sir

are you you get back to the Lord's your

money to help but then I'm just talking

without

[Music]

mcculloch

I've got some good news mr. Walczyk here

has graciously agreed to increase his

offer I'm willing to do whatever I can

to wrap up this deal well that's really

nice of you mr. wallet check but I'm

afraid no amount of money is gonna

change my mind if I can come up with a

compromise by tomorrow's vote could we

at least discuss it of course yeah

you'll probably find me right here I'm

in charge of the fireworks this year

I'm sorry Scotty up nearly as sorry as

you're going to be

hey sport what are you still doing here

the barbecues about to begin everybody

else is already up at the creek

yeah I'll go in a minute are you worried

about tomorrow not exactly

dad I'm thinking about pulling lassie

out of the herding competition I

guess that makes me a quitter I I

thought I could train her by reading a

book and using some chairs for sheep

dad it's not her fault but when we got

out on the field today she didn't do

very well

some of the guys are making fun of her

just don't want people laughing at her

tomorrow

well

pulling lassie out of the competition

because you were afraid of losing well

maybe that would make you a quitter but

doing it to protect her

makes you a winner he's sure yeah

I'm sure

[Music]

Oh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

you

you

oh

alright you guys were great man how'd

you go by

hey where are we gonna go hmm don't you

remember when we were young

fear like a

mix contestant will be Duncan mccullough

and his dog burger

boy and I thought we could learn from a

book

these dogs are amazing Hollis

[Music]

you know my grandfather's really worried

about your dad Walker in a sale he's

been gaining a lot of support even in

the Macpherson car how does this

Macpherson feel about it I think it'll

be a shame to sell this place

I've only been here a couple of days and

it's ready specialty I know

[Applause]

I wish we could keep it forever well you

know there's an old Scottish custom it

says if a girl throws a pebble into

article our wish will come true Brian

what have you got to lose

close your eyes real tight concentrate

[Music]

it's gonna be close but I think we might

have enough votes to stop this sale

maybe but I'm worried there's more

Macpherson's here than there are

McCulloch seeeeee this isn't a clan

thing it's about all of us hey Chris I'm

with you but we better start lobbying

and fast I wish I could there's nothing

I'd rather do but if we're gonna have

fireworks this year I'd better get over

to the shack and cut some fuses if we

don't get some more votes there won't be

anything to celebrate uncle Steve

catcher the best you should have seen it

seen what the sheepdogs they ran around

the outside of the block and never even

barked talking professionals I know I

was right pulling lassie out of the

competition

where's dead oh he's across the lake

working on the fireworks

[Music]

Scotty listen McCulloch hey I'm not

gonna change my mind now if they've

excuse me I've got a lot of work did you

look the votes coming up in an hour I

just wanted to give you one more chance

to be on the winning side I thought I

lies

whatever happens now you brought on

yourself

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

not now lassie I got worked

[Music]

lessee bring those back

Jessie

will stop her she's got

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I'm telling you it wasn't an accident

honey you don't know that lassie knew it

somebody's really playing hardball

somebody wants to sail to go through

where's Scotty he's already called the

meeting to order they're getting ready

to vote what

Christopher right down and if any ye are

still undecided let me tell you that

Jamie here has generously thrown another

thirty thousand dollars into they put

[Applause]

I'll entertain a motion to accept

Jamie's often wills right it's all over

somebody's got to do something do I hear

a motion from the floor I object it's

not fair my dad's not here young man you

wrote the word that no he's right

grandpa

shouldn't we hear what Chris McCulloch

has to say I'm sure we don't like to

hear Christmas point of view I think I

know what my dad would say I'm sure you

do but this is a very serious matter now

ah Scotty let the lad talk hi

let's see what the boy has to say he's

only a boy what gives him that I

michalek yeah

very well boy you have the floor speaker

piece

[Music]

[Music]

even before I came here for the first

time I

dad told me all about the Highlands

about how both our families

came to California almost a hundred

years ago

fell in love with this land and bought

it uh

now

he feels

[Music]

hey I thought I could tell you how my

dad feels

but I can't

all right I can only tell you how I feel

if we lose the highlands we do something

we can never get back

it doesn't matter if your name's

McCullough or Macpherson we're all one

this is our family

how can you sell that

laddie

somehow I think I'd have done better if

your dad had given the speech

[Music]

Lassie

[Music]

Wow Christmas right the explosion wasn't

an accident

Bulger I don't believe it Scotty look at

these papers wallet set free sold our

land well you must have been desperate

ah Chris was annoying

wait is he now yeah he's headed for the

cheap

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

and so the gathering of the clans has

once more continent we've had fair

competition good fellowship and a wee

bit more adventure than we bargained for

but we have a lot to be thankful for the

class mcculloch for his steadfastness

and for the courage of getting out of

bed today against doctor's orders and a

young will McCulloch is not won any

ribbons here but he and lassie have won

our hearts and done great service for

the clams I say they deserve the honor

of leading the March to the Papes I'll

see y'all

present the colors

remember this day whale boy tell your

sons and grandsons and mine of this

March I will

[Music]

Angus the Papes
