  Kit Quayle : He hasn't been in school since Tuesday.

  Mrs. Pirie : My husband has gone to the police.

  Mrs. Quayle : Well, come in and have a cup of tea.

  Mrs. Pirie : I thought maybe Kit could go and look for Scotty on the river.

  Mrs. Quayle : You mean on the Ellison property?

  Kit Quayle : Yeah, of course I'll go.

  Charles E. Quayle : Scotty's missing? There's, uh, no need for Kit to go. I shall... uh... ring Mr. Ellison.

• Scotty Pirie : Taff's knocked the rail done and gone toward the river.

  Mrs. Pirie : Can you see him, then?

  Scotty Pirie : No. I'm going to look for him.

  Mrs. Pirie : Hold on, I'll give you a lunch to take to school.

  Scotty Pirie : I'm not going to school!

• Sgt. Collins : Good morning, Mrs. Pirie. You know Mr. Ellison.

  Sgt. Collins : Where's Scotty? He's not at school?

  Angus Pirie : What do you want?

  Sgt. Collins : We've come for the pony, Angus.

  Mrs. Pirie : Scotty's pony?

  James Ellison : My daughter's pony, Mrs. Pirie. Your son tried to take him at the town fair.

  Angus Pirie : The pony's not here, so get off my land!

  Sgt. Collins : We'll go when we're good and ready. Do you want me to search the place, Mr. Ellison?

  James Ellison : I don't see the point. The pony could be anywhere.

  Sgt. Collins : [pointing to Angus]  He knows where it is.

  James Ellison : Do you?

  [Angus walks away] 

  Sgt. Collins : Don't be a fool, Angus. If I find you're hiding that pony, I'll lock you up, and your boy, too.

  Angus Pirie : You just leave my boy alone and get off my land!

  Sgt. Collins : Angus...

  Angus Pirie : Get off my land!
