"Yes..." " Let's do this?" " There you are." "Yes." "You look nice." " You'll go like that?" " Does it bother you?" "It's just mold, quite natural." "What a dirty mother, poor you." "You're so fine, Tussi." "Mom, they're coming." " Hello!" " Hi!" "Welcome!" "Thank you." "I'm Lisbeth." "I'm so happy we could do this." "She's been sulking ever since we got here." "I'm sure it'll be fine." "The girls look forward to meeting her." "They're really excited, a new girl in their class." "It's very rare that new people move here." "So..." "Molly!" "We're in the house, but large stuff must wait until Tom comes." "OK, when is that?" "In four weeks." "He has to work his term of notice." " Hello!" " Hello!" "Lisbeth." "I'm Molly." "Here's mine." "Welcome!" " Hello, I'm Molly." " Ida." "Could you take Ida, and... meet the girls and show her around." "Sure, come along!" " That's good!" " Yes." "This is Ida, there's Beate, and that's Hanne." "Hi." "We've just been riding, so we have to tend to the horses." "You want to?" "You don't ride?" "No." " Did you use to?" " Never been on a horse." "Never been on a horse?" "Maybe as a child, in a zoo or something." "I've only been riding for about three years." "Do you want us to teach you?" "Perhaps." "She's not dangerous, she just craves affection." "Oh yes, my beautiful horse!" "What else do you do?" " I'm on my PC, I've a blog." " You do?" "So do I!" "What do you blog about?" "Fashion." "When did you move here?" "One week ago." "Mom wants to grow organic potatoes." "I have to get this." "Hello?" "My god, she seems completely..." " I think she seems insecure." " Insecure?" "Yeah, you'd be nervous too." "Let's ask if she wants to ride." "Ask her to play hairdresser, I'm sure she'll join in." "Don't mind her..." "Come again?" "No." "I'm at a stable." "Meeting some natives." "Yes, I'm sure they'll be my best friends." "My god, they seem quite retarded." "And they're so dirty, it makes me sick." "I have to go now." "Yes, bye." "Would you like to ride, since you haven't tried it?" "Maybe it's a bad idea." "Don't want to dirty your nice clothes." "We'll clean the box stalls, so I'll show you the forest short cut." "That's so typical of you, Ida." "They hate me already." "Yes, sure, but do we care?" "No..." "Exactly." "Oh, I'm so stupid." "Ida, listen, look at me." "You don't need them, you've got me." "Come, please, we miss you so much." "Look here!" "Say hi to Ida, everyone!" "Hi Ida, we miss you." "I'm having a party tomorrow." "His parents are away." "You know what that means." "Please, don't say any more." "The battery's out soon, but please, ask your mother at least." "I'll never get permission." "Run away, then!" "...my dream has always been a picket fence and a nice ball pillared entrance." "But this gate will be too wide, so let's split it in two." "And I would like..." "Would the lock be...?" "Usually, does the gate go like this, or would it go like this?" "Kehilan!" "Oops." "Is this funny?" "Oh no!" "Not my PC!" "Oh dear!" "I blame that stupid horse." "Look at this!" "If the PC is ruined, it's going to cost you." "Don't blame Kehilan for falling in the water." "In the water?" "The horse almost killed me." "Ran right at me." "It's not safe at all." "He's wild, but not dangerous." "Needs watching so it doesn't kill somebody." "Relax." "He'll be slaughtered soon." "With luck, you won't see him again." "Shoo." "Go home." "Is it your horse?" "No." "Not really." "But I'm to stop him from running off." "Watch out, Ida!" "That's unbelievable." "What?" "He doesn't like anybody." "Don't you like anybody?" "Too bad he likes you, who wants to get him slaughtered." "Come on, boy." "He runs off home sometimes." "Hope it's OK." "It's fine, quite OK, we're fond of horses." "What happened to you?" "Jonas is having a party." "What were you thinking?" "To hitch-hike?" "It's 560 miles." "I'm going crazy here." "I have teddy bear wallpaper, you know?" "Colargol-wallpaper." "If it's so horrible, clean it up, make it nicer." "My biggest worry is what happens to Kehilan when I'm dead." "For 20 years, he's been my best friend." "My faithful friend." "The thought of him left alone when I'm gone, is too painful to endure." "Sorry about yesterday." "Ida, I'm wondering." "Do I have to fear that you may run away every chance you get?" "No, I promise, never again." "Yes, I mean it." "The horse that was here yesterday." "That horse used to live here." "Yesterday I found lots of photos and books, stuff that Anna owned." " The woman who owned this farm." " So that's the explanation." "Eh?" "For what?" "Look here!" "I have to... get this out." "Be careful, don't get your nails dirty." " What you said, that he's to be slaughtered?" " Yes." " What did you mean?" " Why do you care, really?" "I didn't mean what I said." "Kehilan runs off every chance he gets, so he can't be used in the riding school." "OK." "He's too expensive to keep." "Most likely he'll be slaughtered." "Can't anyone buy him?" "Who buys a horse that runs off at every chance?" "In addition he's a one man horse." "I could learn to ride." "You?" "Yes, I could train him." "Learning to ride isn't easy, it takes years." "And you don't seem the type." "Hey, you." "We'll make it." "You and I together." "It'll be just fine." "You're so good." "Good boy." "What are you doing?" "You must fasten the saddle securely, or risk falling off." "Most importantly, don't ever ride inside the stable." "I wasn't riding, just trying how to sit." "What if he panicked, and threw you off?" " He'd never do that." " You know that as a horse expert?" "I've learnt about horses." "Croup... mane... hoof... chestnut... saddle, girth, stirrup... and halter." "I'm impressed, but..." "you don't know how to ride." "Don't you think I know?" "Here..." "I'll do it." "If you want to learn more, be here at 06.30 tomorrow." "Thank you." "Hey, my boy, are you OK?" " Hello." " Hi." "I'll clean." "Just talking to Kehilan first." "It's fine, we'll do it." "No problem, I'll do it." "It's a problem." "You need to do something else." "Tighten once more afterwards." "Cause when you tighten the girth, the horse inhales and inflates." " So tighten once more." " OK." " Please mount now." " OK." "That's good!" "Feels OK?" "Try pacing." "Draw the reins a little." "Tighten the reins." "Yes, that's good!" "Squeeze your legs around the horse's belly to make him walk faster." "Elbows closer to the body." "That's better." "Yes, you're getting the hang of it." "Great!" "Great." "Can I have some food, or what?" "Wash your hands first, maybe." "Oh my god!" "Oh well, just a little dirt." "All natural, like you say." " Can I use my confirmation money?" " It's the horse, not the money." " He has a name." " OK, Kehilan." "A horse too volatile for riding school is not fit for a beginner like you." "He's not too wild, he just runs home now and again." "Can't you rather wish for a pony?" "Can't you see he's homesick?" "It's stupid to attribute human qualities to animals." "Horses are dangerous." "If you don't like my riding, I can start blogging again, if you want?" "You're quite cunning, you know." "Good, Beate!" "Does he look nice?" "Make sure you have the steady support in your hand." "Hold around, light hand and remain supple." "That's good work, girls." " Are you doing fine, Ida?" " Yes." "OK, remain on the voltes." "Beate leading." "That's right." "You feel you need to have that urge." "OK?" "Yes, Molly, that's it." "A bit more." "Ride the wide circle." "Hadn't thought it'd go so well, Ida, that you'd learn so fast." "Thanks." "It looks easy, but it's incredibly strenuous." "You're a beginner, so the technique's not quite there yet." "We've been thinking." "You're thinking?" "Wow, I'm impressed." "Shut up!" "We want to ask you." "Say no if you don't want to." "What?" "Would you be in our team at the showjumping event?" "Eh?" "Why not?" "Lowest number of points are deleted anyway." "Thank you." "No, but you'll get some event practice." "No pressure, you know." "So..." "What do you think?" "Of course I want to." "If you think I'm good enough?" " Ida, your mother asks you to come home." " OK." "And I'd like to say that you rode really well at today's training." "So please consider joining the team." "OK." "But that requires hard training ahead." "I have no other plans." " Bye." " Bye." "What is it?" " I have a surprise." " I'm getting Kehilan?" "For the thousandth time, you'll not get Kehilan." " Then what?" " You'll get... something else." "You'll get... a visitor." "Is it...?" "Shit." "Where's Ida?" "She's inside, so please enter." " Karo!" " Oh, Ida!" "Hi." " Hi, I've missed you." " Missed you too." "Oops, Ida, you need a manicure." "Why so secret?" "I wanted to surprise you, save you from the gloom of moving here." "How are you coping?" "I'm fine." " You're really here!" " Yes, I am." "Who used to live here?" "A woman named Anna." "She was a true horse buff." "I can see that." "I've got something." "Close your eyes, OK?" "No peeking." "OK, take a look." "Senorita." "Tastes really great, almost like juice." " You've started drinking?" " Everyone has." "I don't get drunk, it's not cool." " Want to taste?" " Are you crazy?" "Mom will kill me." "What's happened to you?" " Happened?" " Yes, you're so different." "No, I'm not." " Have you met somebody?" " In a way, yes." "You have?" "Do tell!" " No, it's nothing." " Come on, tell me." "Let's drink a little?" " It itches, drives me crazy." " Must suffer for beauty, you know." "God, I'm sorry, I overslept." "That's alright." "I was awake anyway." "Hanne and Beate are here soon." "Mom gives a riding lesson at 9 a.m." "But Molly, I can't practice this weekend." "Oh?" "Why not?" "Must look after the twins." "Both, all weekend?" "Yes, mom takes it for granted that I do." "Bring them here, we can take turns?" "No, mom is scared of horses, and won't risk anything happening to the twins." "Bring her to the Novice Cup so she can see that horses aren't dangerous." " Yes." " Let me know if they drive you crazy." " Who?" " The twins." "Oh, yes." "Sure." "Damn it, I've had enough." "Hang at Tussi's stall door." "Ignore them, they delight in making you mad." " Pretend not to notice." " Do like me, count to 10." "What is this?" "Tussi?" "No, it's not Tussi, it's a donkey." "Is it?" "Hard to spot the difference." "If you don't know horses." "I know horses." "But not donkeys." "Funny... ha ha!" "Dad buying an expensive pony doesn't make you a better rider." "You just get a better pony." "Isn't it a bit sad, Beate?" "To be that jealous?" "Jealous?" "Of whom?" "Of you?" "Go listen to the birds in the forest, and leave the riding to us who know how." "What do you mean?" "Molly, don't start." "You think you're better riders than us?" "This is too childish." "Come!" "The Novice Cup is in 3 weeks." "Let's settle it then." "The winning team has the stable's best riders." "Or don't you dare?" "OK." "We'll never beat them." "Yes." "If we practice like hell." "It's awful, but I can't stand them." "Watch and learn, girls!" "This is ridiculous." "OK." "OK, take our picture." " Sip it, I'll take your picture." " No." "Come on, have you gone all Christian?" "It's bad." "I'll take another." "Pose." "Come on." "Great." "How can you live here?" "There is nothing going on." "Wow!" "Yes, I'm sure they're going to a party." "Let's follow!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Shotgun, I'm biking." "Damn it!" "Karoline, can we go home?" "OMG, look at that horse!" "We have to take a picture." "Take our picture." "No." "Hi, horsie." "Hi." "Stop it, Karoline." "Stop it!" "My god, don't give him wine." "Ida?" "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "We're having a picnic." " Are you drinking?" " No." " Aren't you minding the twins?" " You know them?" "Yes, Ida, do you know us?" "Don't say you're hanging with the natives, please." " What do you mean?" " Four-eyes can speak!" "What I mean?" "I hope my friend Ida in her loneliness haven't started hanging with a bunch of..." "Well, what to say..." "Any suggestions?" "Let's go home now." "What's happened with you?" "Are you their friend?" "So what you said about them being ugly and boring and... isn't it true?" "I'm very disappointed in you, Ida." "I thought you wanted to be in the team." " I do want that." " Jesus!" "You're Kehilan's last chance, and you go drinking!" "I remember what she said about us." "She said we looked retarded." "You said that?" "Can't believe she'd do this to Kehilan!" "My god, what a bunch!" "You think they've heard of make-up?" "You were right, they're really dirty." "Relax." "No, I won't relax." "They're my friends, and you've ruined everything." "I've ruined it?" "You've managed that yourself, Ida." "If you're their friend, forget about me." "Know what?" "Life is actually more than drinking, clothes and boys." "If you don't get that, you're fucking stupid." "Hi, my friend." "I'm so glad I've got you." "There he is." "What do you think?" "Old..." "Big and heavy." "He's great for riding, and almost free of charge." "Can't see why you want an aged gelding." "You've got a great mount at home." "I want a horse to go hacking." "I won't risk hurting Royal Lady in open country." "OK, take him out." "Let's get a closer look." "What are you doing?" " Dad buys me a new horse." " You don't want Kehilan?" "Why not?" "You've made him into a great mount." " But he's mine." " So you've bought him?" " Not bought him, but he's mine, in a way." " In a way?" "Yes, and you know that." " Stop it!" " Behave." "Get in!" "Behave!" " Are you coming?" " Be right there." "Mom, I have to get him." "Emma is buying him now." "Ida, we've had this talk so many times." "Listen to me, it's serious." "I've heard your arguments." "You're not getting a crazy horse, that's it." "He's not crazy." "If he was, why would Emma buy him?" "Maybe she has irresponsible parents." "Anyway, this talk is over." " Yes, but..." " Yes, this talk is over now." "Has she been here?" " Now what?" " I don't think she should be in the team." "I told you she seemed quite..." "She can't have lied all this time." "No, I don't think so." "She made a fool of herself, but I think we should listen to her." "Hi." "Didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I heard what you said." "I want to apologize for what happened yesterday." "I should have told Karoline about you." "Then this wouldn't have happened." "I've had a great time, and just want to wish you best of luck at the Cup." "Where are you going?" " Home." " To your friend?" "No, we're not friends anymore, I think." "Are you quitting?" "What about Kehilan?" "Emma's buying him." "Ida!" "Why is she buying him?" " She wants a horse to go hacking." " But she never does." "Perhaps she'll start now." "Anyway, I won't be riding anymore." "Maybe you should." "To show what you've done with Kehilan." "If not, nobody buys him." "We all know what happens then." "But..." "Do you want that?" "Have me on the team?" "What's important is to save Kehilan and convince your mother." "Yes, I want you on the team, too." "Even if I seem quite..." "Didn't mean it like that." "That's right." "Using your hand well." "Very good, Molly." "Think ahead." "Curve the inner leg aids." "Increase the pace, bottom higher." "Keep back a bit, Ida." "Slow down." "Prepare to slow down." "Stretch." "Keep a firm leg grip." "You're lucky to have your own horse." "You know, mom would never sell Kehilan to Emma." "Do right at the event, your mother will surely buy him." " That's nice." " Yes." "Next!" " Try some make-up, or just do the hair?" " I'll try a little." "OK." "Wow, your eyes are gorgeous." "You should set them off, not hide them behind glasses." "Let's see." "Dishy." " Gustav will be impressed." " Shut up!" " Gustav?" " Nobody." "Beate's latest flame." "Beate and Gustav." "I said shut up." "We'll never beat them." "Stop saying that, please!" "But it's true." "Look at them." "My god, their horses are better, but they're not better riders." "We can beat them." "Focus on winning the cross-country, so we can beat Team Emma." "Yes, miss Nag!" "Good." "OK." "We agree that Ida goes last at the showjumping, to convince your mom, and show what you and Kehilan can do." "You're not doing cross-country, as Kehilan isn't safe yet outside the arena." "Great." "We're all set." "You're going to make it." "...we thank Elin and Kilkenny, who got eight penalties, and also ask Hanne and Luka to get ready." "Come on, give it all." " Good luck." " Good luck." " Go, Hanne." " Come on." "You should get ready." "Look, there's Ida." "You see Ida?" "There." "Thank you to Emma, on Royal Lady, with no penalties." "And we ask Ida and Kehilan to get ready to start." "We are going to make it." "It'll be fine." "Come on, Ida." "Good, Ida!" "Come on, Ida!" "Go, Ida!" "Yes!" "Go, Ida!" " My god, you've become really great!" " That was awesome." " I'm so proud of Kehilan." " Really awesome." "Here is a brief points summary before we start the cross-country." "In the lead, with four penalties, is Team BM H." "And in second place, with eight penalties, is Emma's Dreamteam." "You should've seen Emma's face." "She went..." "She did not expect us to lead." "Mom was very impressed." "She's going to buy Kehilan after this." "Imagine if she'd done that." "If we don't mess up in the cross-country, we'll beat them." "We'll go to the start." " Yes." " Focus." " Yes..." " You'll do fine." "Good luck." "Be careful." "Hi." "Good riding." "Tussi is so cool." " The coolest horse I know." " Me too." "This will be really exciting as we now ask Beate and Tussi to go to the start." "Best of luck." "See you." "Can Beate and Tussi please go to the start?" "Where is she?" "What's she doing?" "Come on, Tussi!" "Beate and Tussi are disqualified for not coming to the start." "What happened?" "I'm not sure." "I was... riding to the start, suddenly I'm in a crossing." " You always ruin it." " I didn't mean to." " We're getting no points for this." " Calm down, Molly." " She is like a mule." " What?" "Stubborn as a mule." "It's a rotten thing to bring Tussi into this." "Everyone says it, she's more like a mule than a horse." "Tussi is actually a horse." "Always been, always will be." " Then you can't ride." " I'm a better rider than you." "You were out on the road, almost hit by a car." "Stop it!" "We can't win, the way you behave." "We're supposed to be a team, now we can't even get a place." "I can ride." " You don't have to." " I want to." " Kehilan isn't safe." " Yes, he is." "Ida, forget it." " He'll throw you." " Then you know what'll happen." "I really want you to win this." "Don't you see?" "We." " You're part of the team, too." " Exactly." "I have to do this." "Be careful." "Shush!" "You can do this." "OK, my boy." "Let's do this." "Five... four... three... two... start." "Come on, Ida!" " Come on, Ida!" " Go, Ida!" "She'll be fine." "She's very good." "Ida!" " What happened?" " Fell off the horse." "Looked bad." " Are you hurt?" " Not his fault." "You could have been killed." "Did you get hurt?" " Where is Kehilan?" " At the finish." "Is he OK?" "Don't mind the horse." "You're going to a doctor." " Can we go to the stable?" " No, straight home to bed." " I have to check Kehilan." " We'll go straight home." "Know what?" "You don't understand anything." "Hi." " Hi." " Hi." " How are you?" " Broke the collar bone." "How did it go?" "We didn't place." "We quit after you and Kehilan didn't finish." "Wasn't his fault." "There was a bag on the track." "You had deserved to make it." "Now what?" "Don't think about it." "He's done for, isn't he?" "The vet..." "The vet is here." "The vet's here to get Kehilan." "At least we tried." "I love you like crazy." "I'm going to miss you." "I'll go home to bed for a while." "I'll never see him again." "Ida." "He means everything to me." "Dear..." "I love him more than anything." "He means everything to me." "Dear..." " You see?" "He belongs here." " So go let him in." "You have to let Kehilan come home." " Eh?" " Should've said it when you awoke." "I talked to Kikki." "To cut a long story short, Kehilan is yours now." "Do you mean it?" "Really mean it?" "Let him in." "Go let him in." "Kehilan." "Hey, you."
