[bunniefuu]

[music]

Down in the middle where the windows be in the middle of a field. The lightning tree's all [music] torn from the day it was born. For the tree was born in a thunderstorm. Grow the lightning tree.

It's never too [music] late for you and me. Grow, grow the like tree. Never give in too easily. [music]

Down in the middle in the window screen in the lightning tree. Dreams come true when you want them to. If you want them

to, then it's up to you. [music] The lightning never get too easy.

I love you.

Look out. Hello. Have a rest.

No time for that, girl. There's work to be done.

You could k*ll someone coming in like that. The colonel would be furious if he caught you. And you frightened the horses.

Well, if he let me do it regular, they'd get used to it, wouldn't they? Come to think of it, you could get used to being knocked down if it happened often enough.

Haha. Very funny.

Cop over there. What does he want? I don't know.

If you ask me, the colonel's probably been up to something. You can never tell with them rich BS.

It's you more likely. What have you been doing? Nothing. Nothing he'd know about anyhow.

Striker, how many times have I told you to walk that infernal machine in?

To know. You don't know. Lost count, probably.

Well, just you try it once again. That's all. Yes, Karen.

Sir, morning Dora.

Morning, Uncle. Yes, Colonel sir. No, Colonel sir.

Getting polite all of a sudden, aren't we? Yeah.

It's amazing what the start of a copper can do, ain't it? Yeah. What did he want anyhow?

Hey, you've been up to something then. What? Me?

Oh, blime me. Now what? Come here, Colonel. Sir,

slugger. That gypsy horse. He's coming for him today. I thought he was in prison.

Well, he was, but they're letting him out this morning. Is that all you can carry? No.

Oh, look. Come on. If you can take two, take two and get that cleared up.

Yeah. If that gypsyy's coming at resource, I'll wish him the best of luck. We can't get near it. Well, I can.

Can you? Good for you. Come on, let's go and have a look at it.

Oh boy. Oh. Easy. Easy.

Come on. Come on.

So there. That's it.

You see, if I had time, I could make him quite better. Not nervous of anyone. No, you can't.

Just a week. No, he's not ours.

I said that I'd look after him for the gypsy while he was in prison. Well, time's run out. Let me know when he comes, will you? I want to see him.

O.

Oh, it's you.

What? He's showering the horses with dust. Goes through the cracks.

Get away. I didn't know that. Do you know I've been sweeping this place up for years. I always wonder where the dust went. I've heard of sweeping

underneath the carpet, but under the floorboards. That's different, isn't it?

As a housekeeper, you make a very good Xboxer. Yeah. Yeah.

Ian, son, listen. You're comfortable up here.

minutesOh, yeah. Smash your legs. I'll tell you something. It's the only place I've ever had that makes me feel well wanted. Oh, you know what I mean.

Hello. Got a visitor.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's that gypsy company's horse. And good riddance to it, I say. What happened? Do you know?

Yeah. Listen. See, he was crossing Kell's farm. Well, crossing one of their fields, and these two farmers attacked him. Amos and Ruben. Couple of real weirdies there.

Yes, I've heard.

Yeah. They beat up his or something terrible. God knows why. I know why. Yeah.

Gypsy riding over barley and your crop will be too early. Gypsy riding over wheat and your crop will be too late. If

you find him on your harvest crop and you tell the gypsy man to stop there, still people think gypsies are bad luck and put curses on you and stuff like that. Stupid.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, that explains it, doesn't it? Anyway, see these two farmers beat up this horse and the gypsy attacked them with a knife. So, they had him arrested for as*ault.

It's just not fair, is it? So, because he's a gypsy, no one listens to him. Just throw him in prison.

Oh, no. Wait a minute. The colonel said the magistrate was very fair with him. Oh, yeah. Well, he only gave him three months.

That ain't bad, is it? For pulling a knife on someone. That's why the O came here.

Yeah. And the right old state he was in too. Frightened out of his wits. You know, you only had to say good morning to it. He's sh**t up through the ceiling.

So what happens now? I'll k*ll him.

Oh, no you won't. You're talking like an idiot.

Look, I thought about it all the time. I Now you listen to me. You try anything stupid around here and you're going to get into real trouble. Now get your horse and follow your own people.

They're down Codman Thorp Way as far as I know. Now you get after them. There's only trouble for you here. I can't. You can and you will.

Now go and tell Slugger to get you something to eat and then be off. Here you are.

I'll k*ll him.

What do you want? I'm just looking at you, mate.

The condemned man ate a hearty breakfast. Do you know that saying?

You know what you're talking about?

Did you eat a hearty breakfast this morning? Now look, cuz if you didn't, you still got time.

What's he on about, Em? What do you mean now? Listen, Poppy, you're trying to be funny.

Oh, I think it's funny. All right, giggle.

You won't know that uh gypsy you had put away.

Remember? Yeah. Well, he's out. Came out this morning. He's going to k*ll you, isn't he? Oh, no.

Oh, shut up. What can he do to us? Oh, they creep up, don't they, mate?

Hey, they creep up. And where is he?

Up at Follyoot, Colonel's place. At least he was when I left. Anyway, he might be creeping already for all I know.

Amos. Ah, get inside and keep your eyes skinned. I'm going over there. Hey, fetch my g*n.

Just let me see that jippo. That's all. He won't know what's hit him.

That's it. He wouldn't let me near it first.

Wouldn't let anyone. It's funny that horses are more trusting as a rule. They don't get frightened of people. Only a bay person.

They can tell the nice ones, can't you, boy? They can tell the cruel ones.

Well, those two farmers weren't the only ones.

Everyone eats gypsies. We have a bad time.

And the horses, our [snorts] women, our children, and our horses. It's not fair.

Easy, buddy. Easy, easy, easy, easy.

Stay there. Can't you see him frightening the horse? So, we've let you out.

Out you black devil. Out.

minutesSteve. Gypsy's escaped.

[screaming]

Let me have a couple of horses. Slugger. We're making trouble again. k*ll it.

So, you're taking on criminals now, are you?

You leave him alone. That's over and done with.

You ask my brother if it's over and done with. You never walk on two feet again.

That's got nothing whatever to do with it. It was an accident.

He put a curse on Reuben's horse. Put a spell on him so no one could ride him. You think? I don't know. Superstitious nonsense.

The Jippo put a curse on him, I tell you. be self-defense next time, won't it?

What do you mean by that? Has he been threatening me or hasn't he?

Well, if he so much as puts one foot on my land, he won't know what sit him.

That's not a cursed, you promise.

Come on. That's it. There you go. I think he's gone towards the cops. Where? Up there.

Oh, you gods. That's Tica Farm. Kell's place. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Can you see anything? No. Kind of got that far. Come on. Come on. Come on.

There he is. Are we all right? Where's Kitt's place?

There, Steve. He's going right towards it.

secondWe'll have to let him off. You ride around behind him. I'll see if I can drive him towards you. Okay. Can't really

[music]

Gypsy. Here boy. Here.

[laughter]

You two, you can tell that Chipole he wants his a*s is to come and get him if he dare.

should have stayed where you were. You drove him in. How was I to know? There was nowhere else he could go. Closing in on him like that.

Up the lane? He could have gone up the lane.

The last thing I said to you was I'd drive him towards you. But he was right at the gate.

Charging up at him like that, screaming like a red Indian.

Well, if you're so clever, you can do it yourself next time.

Next time. fat chance there'll be of that.

But we got to do something. We can't just leave him there.

When it's dark, why can't we sneak him out when it's dark? Yeah, it's all right for you. I'd do it.

I'm not scared.

All clear. Yeah. This is a place. You keep a lookout.

Hey, don't you try to ride it. No, but you'll have to. I'll try.

Oh boy. Steady. Easy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy.

Steady.

That's it. Give me a box or something, Steve. Hey. Hey, look. There's another horse.

I bet it's Reuben's the one that's supposed to be cursed. Mind, I get the box.

Whoa, boy. Whoa. Easy, easy. Come on.

Are you ready? Just a happy devil. You want me bel

you ready? Yep.

Come back here. Damnation to you. I know you're kind.

Hey, is that you? Hey, back to bed. Blast.

Back to bed. There's another one here. I heard him. What's happening?

I know you're here. Well, Jipple, you can rot on your own.

Hey, let me out.

What's that? What's that? Let me out. Go on. Let me out.

Go and fetch my g*n, Reuben. We got one jip anyway.

Oh, mate. Have we got troubles now?

We could use some breakfast, fella.

Come on, try these.

They're better than nothing, aren't they?

I could have got out easily. You know that, don't you? That wouldn't help you very much.

And from the luck of you, it's about time somebody did.

Here, you like to take your lordship a cuppper? No.

Nah. Now, come on. That's not the spirit. If he was horse, you would. He doesn't deserve it.

Have a look, Arthur.

It's a gypsy horse slugger. He's rescued it. Hey, and if you feel like apologizing to him,

you forgot his tea. Steve. Steve, can I come up?

Where is he? Where's Steve?

They've got him. They locked him up. I didn't know what to do.

Slugger, they've got him. The Kennets have got Steve. Huh? I just saw the Os.

minutesI brought him back. I didn't know what to do.

What we going to do?

Please let him rot.

Yeah, but but what? Well, we we can't let him die.

Well, we can't, can we? You know, we can't leave me alone.

He's not the one anyway. It's the other Jippo and he's gone. But he'll be back.

We always come back to haunt you. What's he mean, Amos? What's he mean?

How are you going to sleep, Reuben? With him out there just waiting, waiting to get you.

Now, don't give me that. He's right, Amos. He is out there. Pull yourself together. We scared him off, didn't we? He won't come back.

He's me blood brother. The curse of our family will be on you.

Let him go, Amos. I've had me share of trouble. I don't want no more.

What do you want? The colonel says you must let Steve go. You've got no right locking him up.

What's it to you people? What's one damn to you?

He's not a gypsy. It's Steve. He works at the farm. That's a gypsy, I tell you.

Honestly, Mr. Kelllet, just look at him and you'll know it's Steve.

He works for the colonel. The colonel will be terribly cross.

Just tell him to keep off my land. It'll be the worst for him.

Shut up. You muck up everything. What do you mean? Sh. Go look in there.

Amos. [screaming] Amos.

Your brother. Tell your brother. I don't want no more trouble. I'll do anything but no more trouble.

When did you last feed that horse? Your brother cursed him. He did this. Who feeds him?

Amos sometimes. But he's no good. He's brought us bad luck.

We should get rid of him. It could change your luck. Would it? Would it?

Of course you'd know.

Let me have him and I might get me brother to forgive you.

Yes. Yes. You take him. He's no good, but you take him.

Shake on it. Just take him. Just take him. Tell your brother.

Come on, fella. Breakfast time.

Well, there we are. Another one for the collection.

Steve, you were marvelous. I couldn't understand why he wanted to stay there with those awful men.

For you, Brute, wasn't it? had to get you away, didn't we? An all above board, you see. Reuben gave him to us.

Steve, I'm sorry. It's all right.

Come on, blood sister. Before I turn into a mushroom,

Steve, I I hated to leave you. I didn't know what else to do. It's all right, mate. Forget it. What can you do now?

Go back to my people like the colonel said. No more trouble. No more trouble.

No more trouble. He says there'll be some trouble in a minute if you don't come and have your breakfast. It's been ready for hours.

I'll give you three guesses what it'll be.

Bacon and eggs because eggs is a proper breakfast. Eggs is

took the wrap the terrible rap of the thunder. Grow the lightning. It's never too late for you and me.

The lightning tree never get too easily.

Down in the meadow in the window screen. I wish them green in the lightning tree. Dreams come true when you want them to.

If you want them to, then it's up to you.

The lightning tree. Never give it too easily.
