Short filmTranscript
00:00We'll ride into the big wide world, Christopher.
00:03This sounds like a perfect horse.
00:06I could ask Addy to put in an offer.
00:08Smashing kybald cob, friendly and well-trained.
00:12Currently stabled at a boarding school.
00:14Funny, this sounds exactly like Thunder.
00:16Thunder.
00:19Contact Hillary Robinson.
00:22That's my mother.
00:25I don't understand.
00:26Thunder can't be for sale.
00:28I'll speak to her.
00:30Don't worry, boy.
00:34You're not going anywhere.
00:36Miss Grayling!
01:03Miss Grayling!
01:05There's been some muddle.
01:07An advert's gone out saying Thunder's for sale.
01:10May I bring home and talk with Mother?
01:12There has been no muddle.
01:15What?
01:15A possible buyer is coming to view Thunder today, along with your mother, Billy.
01:23Oh, how marvellous is this?
01:26Seeing you again in term time.
01:28Lucky old me.
01:29Hello, Miss Grayling.
01:31Hello, Mrs. Robinson.
01:33Well, I'll let the two of you catch up.
01:36Do come to see me in my study before you go.
01:39Now, I've planned a little surprise for after the sale.
01:42Mother!
01:43Thunder's my best friend.
01:45How could you sell him?
01:46And without even discussing it with me?
01:47Darling, term's almost over.
01:49We've got to get organised.
01:51Debutante season is about to start.
01:53What's my being a debutante got to do with Thunder?
01:56You'll have no time to ride.
01:58The season's non-stop.
01:59Party after party in London.
02:01People to impress.
02:03And most importantly, a husband to find.
02:07Thunder's been my closest companion since I was ten.
02:10Your husband will be your closest companion soon.
02:12Cinderella, your invitation to the first fall of the season has arrived.
02:19It's time for real life to begin.
02:35There's a scorcher already.
02:37How rotten it is to be stuck inside all the morning.
02:39Rotten?
02:40It's our first day with a Hollywood star.
02:43I could barely sleep last night.
02:45We're going to boiler live.
02:48Maybe we can say Miss Vernon to teach his drama at the pool.
02:52Good morning, girls.
02:54Good morning, Miss Vernon.
02:55Mr. Parker is on a school trip, so I'll be taking all your classes today.
03:02You'll be teaching us maths.
03:03And geography.
03:04Heavens no.
03:06We'll have a day of Shakespeare.
03:08Yes?
03:09My daddy took me to see the play Midsummer Night's Dream in London.
03:13How marvellous.
03:15This term, we'll be studying my favourite.
03:19The Tempest.
03:21Miss Vernon, have you seen our pool?
03:23Maybe you could teach us outside?
03:25Like Shakespeare Theatre.
03:28Inspired.
03:30The Tempest takes place on a desert island.
03:33And the sea view will set the scene perfectly.
03:39Lead the way.
03:40Come on to these yellow stands.
03:43Wonderful.
03:44Such a voice.
03:46Miss Vernon, given that it's your first day, I thought you might appreciate a co-star.
03:54Oh, how kind, Matron.
03:57Please, join us.
03:58We're off to the pool.
03:59Oh, now, Miss Vernon.
04:01You may conduct business poolside in California, but at Mallory Towers, lessons are indoors.
04:10Sit down, girls.
04:11Very well.
04:13Us actors must embrace our ever-changing fortunes.
04:18Come, come, Matron.
04:20And sit you down.
04:23You shall not budge.
04:27Girls, push your desks aside.
04:31Daryl!
04:35You have to cover for me.
04:37Mother's selling thunder and the buyer will be here any minute.
04:39What?
04:39Bill, slow down.
04:41Well, you're going to be a debutante.
04:43It's what's expected.
04:44What did you know about this?
04:46Of course.
04:47I'm my mother's only daughter.
04:48It's her dream for me.
04:50It's what she did.
04:50Well, why did you never say?
04:52Because I thought I'd go to some parties, pretend to look for a husband, and then, once that
04:56was out of the way, carry on doing what I love and riding with thunder.
04:59But now, look, I have to find a way to fix this.
05:05Can you cover for me, please?
05:07Oh, of course.
05:11Act one, scene two.
05:13Now, who shall be my Prospero?
05:17Ooh.
05:25Time to shine, Susan.
05:27And I shall be Ariel.
05:30The rest of you have the most vital role of all, the audience.
05:39Approach, my Ariel.
05:41Come.
05:43All hail, great master.
05:47Grave sir, hail.
05:49I come to answer thy best pleasure, be it to fly, to swim, to dive into the fire, to ride
05:59the curled cloud of thy strong bidding, task.
06:06Ariel.
06:08And all is quality.
06:12Any questions?
06:13How do you remember all of those lines?
06:19Oh.
06:20I have been known to sleep with a script under my pillow.
06:24Josephine.
06:25Can I go now?
06:26In good time.
06:28The best actors value the art of observation.
06:33Matron, sit.
06:34All right.
06:42Breathe in.
06:44Breathe out.
06:47Lunch isn't for hours.
06:49Breathe in.
06:50It looks like we'll be clock watching and acting.
06:53Clock watching?
06:54After me.
06:55That's it.
06:56Ma.
06:57Ma.
06:58Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.
06:59Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.
07:00Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.
07:00Bill, I was expecting a groom.
07:16Well, I had to be here.
07:18See who was wanting to buy him.
07:20Jolly sensible.
07:22There are some dreadful owners out there.
07:24And some terribly trained horses.
07:29He likes you, Charlotte.
07:30Let's see what a funder can do, then, shall we?
07:35Actually, I should warn you.
07:38He's been playing up a bit recently.
07:48Come on, boy.
07:49Let's show them how terrible you are.
07:52Come on.
07:55Oh, look.
07:56There we are.
07:58He's great.
07:59That's not good at all.
08:06Well done, boy.
08:09What is happening?
08:10Whoa.
08:11That horse is uncontrollable.
08:12Whoa.
08:13Charlotte, this isn't the right horse for you.
08:15No, boy.
08:16Up the way.
08:16Up the way.
08:19Unbelievable.
08:20He's not trained at all.
08:21He's refusing to jump.
08:26This horse is disobedient.
08:27Quite unlike the description.
08:29How could I put my Charlotte on that?
08:31I...
08:31I don't know what to say.
08:33A waste of our time.
08:35Come on, Charlotte.
08:37That's so disappointing.
08:38Thunder has acquired some awful habits.
08:46It won't be easy to find a family to take him now.
08:51Well, we'll have to keep him at home.
08:54And then, when I'm back from London, we can still ride together.
08:58We must look forwards, not backwards.
09:01Thunder is young and healthy.
09:04He could still have a useful life.
09:05We could donate him to the local quarry.
09:08To be a working horse?
09:10Mother, you can't.
09:11It would destroy him.
09:12I'm fond of Thunder, too, but it may be our only choice now.
09:15The sooner he's gone, the sooner he can get on with the rest of your life.
09:23Feel it in your diaphragm.
09:27Approach my aerial calm!
09:32Excuse me, Major, but isn't it time to feel medicine runs?
09:37Huh?
09:38Medicine runs.
09:40That's a shame.
09:41Oh, no, because...
09:45It's such a shame to miss your soliloquy.
09:48Next time.
09:50Next time.
09:55Can I ask you now?
10:11I can't find my book, so I'll just get another one.
10:20Um, Miss Verland, where's my diaphragm again?
10:24Place your hands on your stomach.
10:26Perfect, everyone.
10:28Speak from your bellies.
10:35Approach my aerial calm!
10:37Miss Verland, please, would you sign my text?
10:41Oh, and one, two, please, um, first.
10:44Oh, no problem.
10:45Um, can you write her to my best friend, Jojo, because that's what my father calls me.
10:50Right now.
10:51I might just love Lynn's grave.
10:52Thank you, thank you so much.
10:54Your turn.
10:56Love, Lily, Vernon.
11:00Miss Verland, it's lunchtime.
11:07Already?
11:08Yes.
11:08See?
11:09Half past twelve.
11:10So it is.
11:13How time flies.
11:15Well, very well, girls.
11:16Off you go.
11:17Bye, Miss Verland.
11:21Bye, Jo.
11:26Time just flies.
11:28Are you going to have fun with her?
11:33A workhorse.
11:35But that's a death sentence.
11:37I've been so selfish.
11:41I should have put Thunder first, and the Callaghan's would have given him a good home.
11:45Talk to your mother.
11:46I mean, if she sees how upset you are, maybe she'll understand.
11:49She won't.
11:52I'm not a high-flying academic like you, Daryl.
11:57Being a debutante is my only option.
12:00It's the same in my family.
12:02You must find a husband to marry and rely on and raise his children.
12:08Meanwhile, our brothers get to do what they like.
12:11There must be another option.
12:13What if you got a job?
12:17A job?
12:19How would that help?
12:20Prove your independence, show that you can support yourself, and you can keep Thunder.
12:30Whatever would I do?
12:31Ah, come in.
12:37I need to get a job, Miss Grayling.
12:39Oh, yes.
12:39As soon as possible.
12:40Come in, come in, come in.
12:41Sit down.
12:45Let's discuss your next steps.
12:48Now, your mother has told me of your plans to become a debutante.
12:52Well, I can't do that now.
12:53I have to earn to save Thunder from being a workhorse.
12:56But if Thunder weren't at risk, would you still want to be a debutante?
13:01Well, I just love my life as it is.
13:04Why can't things stay the same?
13:07Change is part of growing up.
13:09You can feel big and frightening.
13:12But it should also be exciting.
13:14I don't feel excited.
13:16I feel sick to my stomach.
13:19Is that the idea of being a debutante?
13:20If you could do anything, what would it be?
13:28All I know is I'm my happiest when Thunder's by my side.
13:35But now, please help me, Miss Grayling.
13:38Oh, Bill.
13:40This is something you need to discuss with your mother.
13:44For your sake and for Thunder's.
13:50Miss Vernon, where are your class?
13:56Oh, hello, matron.
13:57Well, lunch, of course.
14:00We worked up quite an appetite.
14:02Lunch is at half past twelve.
14:04Isn't for another ten minutes.
14:05Oh, yes, I know. That's why.
14:07Excuse me.
14:10Miss Vernon, you've been had by the oldest trick in the book.
14:14A trick?
14:15The speeding up of time.
14:16They've changed the clock.
14:19Well, I never.
14:20I'm sorry they've shown you such disrespect.
14:22Hmm.
14:24I underestimated them.
14:26Wait, no, don't.
14:28Don't change it back.
14:30Why don't we keep it an hour ahead?
14:32Why?
14:33An act of foolery is afoot.
14:36It's a shame to end the performance so soon.
14:39Matron, we're going to need all of your acting skills.
14:43Then I say...
14:46Chop, chop.
14:58Class is starting.
15:00Not yet, I don't think.
15:02Oh, well, it's half past one, isn't it, matron?
15:05I'm the dot, Miss Vernon.
15:07Come.
15:08We are time subjects, and time bids be gone.
15:21I planned to celebrate the sale.
15:24I didn't go to plan, but there is still much to celebrate.
15:28Daryl.
15:30Tiaran.
15:30Oh, sorry.
15:32Sorry.
15:33Daryl.
15:40Done.
15:45Give us a twirl, darling.
15:50Ta-da.
15:50Oh, come on, Billy.
15:51Admit it.
15:53You know, you look utterly divine.
15:55You really do look beautiful.
15:56And I look like a dressage horse.
15:59It's not really me, is it?
16:00You'll need to grow your hair out.
16:02It's time to say goodbye to Bill Robinson.
16:06You'll be Miss Wilhelmina, the debutante.
16:09And hopefully not too long after, take your future husband's name.
16:13Mother.
16:15Being a debutante, it's...
16:16It's not...
16:19Oh, Billy.
16:21Nerves are normal.
16:23Once upon a time, you didn't want to come to Mallory Towers.
16:26And look at you now.
16:28You'll discover a new side to yourself.
16:29I don't want any new sides.
16:32I like being me.
16:33And I love you as you are.
16:35But you need a man to support you.
16:38And this is the best way to catch one.
16:43Couldn't I support myself?
16:44And get a job like some of the other girls?
16:46I'm hoping to be a doctor.
16:48Oh, of course.
16:50Your father's a doctor, isn't he?
16:53Yes.
16:55See, children follow after their parents.
16:57You'll love it in the end.
16:58But didn't you ever want to do anything else?
17:01Yes, but I never thought about it.
17:05Marriage and motherhood
17:06has been the greatest joy and honour.
17:11I want the same thing for you.
17:15Excuse me.
17:16Maybe I could learn to love it.
17:30I've coped with science in school uniform, haven't I?
17:32It's a bit more than that.
17:34Bill, it's your life, not your mother's.
17:37Maybe she knows what's best for me.
17:39I have to grow up at some point, Daryl.
17:41Yes, this feels right.
17:55Now, on the peak, now, in the waste, the day.
18:09I'm so hungry.
18:10In every cabin.
18:13I'm famished.
18:15I flamed a man.
18:17What do I do?
18:19Excuse me, Miss Vernon.
18:22We went for a swim and missed lunch by mistake.
18:24We were terribly hungry.
18:27Well, maybe we could always...
18:29We know what you did.
18:33Changing the clock.
18:35Taking advantage of your new teacher.
18:37The culprit will lose swimming privileges
18:40for the rest of term.
18:43No more swimming.
18:50Look at your faces.
18:52Of course we won't punish you.
18:55Bravo.
18:56What a daring stunt.
18:59Girls, go to lunch.
19:05Miss Vernon, a word.
19:11Letting the girls off like that,
19:12what could you be thinking?
19:13Well, it seemed awfully mean to punish them
19:16for such a marvelous trick.
19:18Mean?
19:19You are their teacher.
19:20I have to set boundaries.
19:22This is a school, not a theater.
19:25I'll take a leave out of your book next time.
19:28Next time.
19:30Miss Vernon, there will be no next time.
19:32These girls must be punished.
19:36Good boy.
19:38You'll be happy with Charlotte.
19:39She'll take good care of you.
19:42It's time for us to part ways.
19:44Now, let's give them a real show.
19:46It's like a different horse.
20:10It was me who misbehaved before.
20:13Not Thunder.
20:15Thank you for giving us a second chance.
20:17You clearly have quite the bond.
20:19I wasn't ready to let him go.
20:22But I am now.
20:23And I want him to go to a good home.
20:28And I can promise you, he will.
20:31It's a deal, then.
20:34Welcome to your new family, Thunder.
20:36Charlotte and I will be back tomorrow with a horse box.
20:38And we'll settle the paperwork.
20:41Fantastic.
20:41I'll show you to the car.
20:44That was a very grown-up thing to do.
20:46Come on, boy.
20:51You must be hungry.
20:52You're a talented equestrian.
20:55Best of luck for your future.
21:03Jason, you're fine.
21:08Was my class so very terrible?
21:11Not at all.
21:12I'm sorry, Miss Vernon.
21:14You were long for a swim.
21:15That's all.
21:15I'll go not to matron.
21:17Actually, it would be nice to get to act more.
21:22Duly noted.
21:25And I accept your apology.
21:28But I'm under strict instructions to punish you.
21:37So...
21:38These need a thorough clean.
21:42Costumes from my time on the road.
21:49Well, come on, then.
21:50Feel free to try them on as you go.
21:52Oh, wow.
21:52Must have been very nice, indeed.
21:54I recognise this one.
21:55Stories my wardrobe could tell.
21:58Oh, my goodness.
21:59Oh, my goodness.
22:00Miss Vernon, you really are the most wonderful teacher we've ever had.
22:04Oh, Calriss no.
22:05Oh, Patal.
22:07And that is...
22:07Oh, Larissa, you look amazing.
22:12Wait!
