Hurt? Someone? Right, well, I'm your man then.
No, let me have a look. I can do this in my sleep, mate.
Is he hurt bad?
Dream, is it? I should have guessed.
I'm asleep? What? The whole rotten war's a nightmare.
No, it's not bad. We'll tape him up.
Well, I'll be jiggered! A blooming lnjun.
Englishman? Healer?
Me? I've never heard it put that way.

JFK was elected President of the United States in 1960."
Okay-
Um...
Omri.
"I have a magic cupboard that has a magic key.
I put a plastic Indian in the cupboard and he came alive.
He is a real Iroquois man.
He talks. He eats. He trusts me."

Your house is fantastic.
It Will do.
It is agreeable.

And we will cook meat, and we will tell stories.
You tell all about me.
Little Bear.

You never had a dead man here?
Uh-uh.
FATHER: Omri!
Do people die here?
People die. We just don't see them.
How do you not see them?
FATHER: Come down here, please.
Can't I just send him back?
You are afraid of him?
A dead man?
You are a child.
Yes, send him back.
- What if he was alone? -Then he is alone!
Where were you?
Guiding my nephew through the woods...
...to live alone for a season, learn to be a man.
You should not do magic you do not understand!
FATHER: Omri, now.
Send him back.
He would want to be back.
Are you mad at me?
What did you do with them?
- I buried them. -My saw blades? Why?
Those are my things. I work with them. I need them now.
What do you want me to do?
[CLICKS TONGUE]
We'll go to Yapp's and buy a set. Come on.
I can go alone. It's, like, a block away.
You don't need to go with me like I'm a baby.
Besides, I've been before. You just didn't know.

Shh.
This is the plastic Indian?
Not plastic anymore.
How did you do that?

Put a plastic thing in and lock it.
If it's a person, the person is alive.
They are real people. They can even be real dead people.
PATRICK: Wow.

It's an enormous, huge responsibility.
I'm a responsible person.

It means a lot to me.
Thank you. I heard.

I'm telling you the truth: I'll lay you in your grave!
I don't care how big you are.
Kindly return to me my hat, tenderfoot.
You said you'd take no more men.

If that's true, I'll squish him like a bug. Boone, drop it!
Well, she's my horse!
Drop it!
No!
Hey! Hey! I'm tired of getting hauled around--
Knew you'd take the side of that stinking savage!
He smells, Omri, and he calls me a dirty savage.
I didn't call you dirty. I called you stinking!
Stop it, Boone. Shh.
Listen to me. Boone is leaving.
- You don't have to live together. BOONE: Where is my coffee?
I like to start my day with coffee.
If you'll be good, I'll make you breakfast.
Omri cooks like a woman. You are a woman!
Oh, please. You guys are so old-fashioned.
I'll have you know I am a civilized man.
Unlike some!
Where did you come from?
I come from Texas, Mr. Half-a-brain!
The United States of America, comprende?

TEACHER: Boys? OMRII Shh.
School, remember?
TEACHER: Thank you very much, Malcolm and Georgia. Thank you.
All right, now let's have Emily and Loretta.
Loretta and I--
[ALL LAUGHING]
Loretta and I are making a map of the United States.
We built it here on a piece of wood.
We made the whole country out of flour...
...and water and salt and food coloring.
We're using beans for the mountains...
...yarn for the rivers, and rice for the borders.
We're making the desert out of brown sugar.
I thought America should be green and yellow...
...but Loretta thought it should be beige.
What in the hell are these folks talking about?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Sounds like they've been hitting the old tornado juice.
You ever been west of the Mississippi?
Big river?
I have traveled to the far North.
Land of the Micmacs.
Micmacs, huh?
Sounds too cold for me.
Must be pretty country, though.
Yes. Cold.
Pretty.
Thank you very much.
Okay, now let's have, um...
...Omri and Patrick. -I'll do it!
We agreed that I'll do it. I'm the best talker. You know that.
Patrick and I are making a volcano.
It's made out of mixed-up Play-Doh...
...and it's big and--
Smallpox.
Yes.
Will you marry again, Little Bear?
If there is a woman for me.
Maybe have another little child.
Yes.
I will heal when I have another child.
Little children are the sun and the moon and the stars.

[BOTH LAUGHING]
Everybody, stay in double line, please.
Thank you.
Follow Mrs. Cox.
Omri, that's a wonderful story that you're writing.
- Yeah. -Have you read about the Iroquois?
Yeah? What interested you the most about them?
There were six tribes that joined together to stop the war.
They formed a true government.
Our Constitution borrowed a lot from the Iroquois.
- Yeah. -So, what else?
As you know, I have to go to computer class.
PATRICK: I'll show you. -No!
Hey! What are you doing? Are you crazy?
- I'm having fun. -This is real!
- They're two real men. It's not fun! -Shove it!
Hello. Excuse me.
What's going on here? Huh? What happened?
All right. Somebody start talking.
We can't resolve this now.
- I think we need to try. -I can resolve it. Want to see how?
- No! -I could do it!
- Do what? -No, no, no! You--
- I could show, I could. -Show what?
You can't! They're people! You can't use people!
[GROANS]
All right.
Patrick, show me what's in your pouch, please.
Please.
Show me what's in your pouch.
They're just plastic toys.
Plastic people.
They're just completely plastic.
- Plast-- -Okay. That's fine, Omri.
- Fine. -Plastic.
Yes. Thank you. Let me see.
Plastic.
Let me see.
They're just people.
All right, you two work this out. But no more fighting, okay?
All right.
Go catch up with your class.
[EXHALES]
OMRI: "It's like having a child.
Every time I'm away from him, I worry that he is okay.
I come home and open the door...
...and worry about what I will find. But he is a man.
I can't treat him like a baby."
Good. Sam?
"JFK.
JFK was the youngest man ever president.
There were little kids in the White House."
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Mom, can Patrick please spend the night?
- Um, yeah, I think so. -Spend the night?
It's a wife.
Excuse me.
It's all right. Come on.
BOY: Look at them.
BOY: I've got to go.
- Who will she be? -Shh.
LITTLE BEAR: What is that?
-It's a wife. -A wife?
- My mother should choose me a wife. -But your mother's not here.
Aw.
I've been thinking about settling down my own self.
OMRI: It's gone.
The cupboard's gone.
Who would take it?
- Where is it? -Where's what?
- What the hell? -The cupboard, butthead!
GILLY: Who gave you that cupboard?
Please, where's the cupboard?
Gilly, please.
Where's my rat ball?
OMRI: Where? Please?
In the crawl space.
[EXHALES]
Man!
The key, the key!
Where's the key?
There was no key. I swear.
BOONE: You mean we've got to live here forever?
Little like this?
No new wife for Little Bear, no baby?
He needs a baby.
I could look for another key.
I want to go home.
We just got the railroad coming through town...
...and we've got a new doctor, a good doctor.
Hell, it's 1879. I'm living at the dawn of a new century.
Now I know what you was talking about.
God sure do play with men, all right.
There is no God here.

[THUNDER RUMBLES]
He is alive.
I wish we had Tommy.
We do not have the key.
Can you take the arrow out?
Blood will flow. Get me husks.
We have no husks.
[GRUNTS]
[BOONE GROANS]
Leave me.
MOTHER: Boys?
Time for bed.
- Can you turn out the light, please? -Sure.
Oh, I feel like I haven't seen you in days.
Cartoon day tomorrow.
I don't think we'll watch, thanks.
- Good night. -Good night, Mom.
- Good night, Patrick. -Good night.
If you hear noises, it's (Billy's rat.
- What? -Heh. He escaped.
Dad pulled up that loose floorboard under your table, but couldn't get him.
- That rat's under my floor? -Maybe.
He might have moved on. If we're lucky, he moved out.
- Oh, no. -I know. Good night, guys.
Do you think he'll be okay?
A rat will eat at a wounded man.
Now we really can't go to sleep at all.
We'll take turns.
If you go first, I'll give you a million dollars.
Okay-
[RATTLING]
[RATTLING CONTINUES]
[SQUEAKING]
[CREAKING AND SQUEAKING]
Patrick. Patrick, wake up.
Patrick, I hear the rat. Patrick, get up!
It's the key! It's the key!
Get it!
Hold this.
Watch out.
[CLATTERING]
Oh, no.
LITTLE BEAR: Let me go.
I am too big.
See if you can get under that loose floorboard over there.
There's an animal. A big animal.
Move fast.
Do you see a way? ls there a hole?
Yes, I see one.
- Omri? -Yeah?
What are also dangers?
Everything.
Did he take his bow and arrow? Does he have his knife?
OMRI: Little Bear!
[LITTLE BEAR YELLING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[RAT SQUEAKING]
Where is he?
[LITTLE BEAR CONTINUES YELLING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
PATRICK: Little Bear!
[CREAKING THEN RAT SQUEAKING]
I hear him! Over there!
PATRICK: Little Bear. Little Bear!
- Where is he? OMRI: Come back!
[LITTLE BEAR YELLS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Oh, come back, come back.
[CLICKING]
- What was that? -Oh. I don't know.
Please, Little Bear, come back.
Why won't he come?
LITTLE BEAR: Omri.
[SQUEAKING]
PATRICK: I got him!
[SQUEAKING]
Oh, it's you again!
[SIGHS]
I do pick my moments to fall asleep, I must say.
Thundering great Minnie whining overhead.
Thought I was a goner. Perhaps I am a goner. Did I die?
No, you're dreaming again.
Oh. Whew.
Oh.
There's two of you now? Good show.
Well, take me to him. The elegant lnjun, is it?
No, it's another.
Oh, that's clever.
Hello again.
- The bleeding stopped. -Yes. Good.
He could use a blood transfusion, but I'm not prepared for that.
A bullet, was it?
Arrow.
Well, lucky it missed his heart and lung.
Cotton's damp.
So you're a pal of his, are you?
Amigo.
TOMMY: There we go. That should do it.
Look, um, keep a close watch on him. Plenty of water.
He could use a doctor's care.
There's a doctor in his town.
No.
- When he wakes up. -Not yet.
It's time for them to go home, Patrick.
Good. That will do. He needs to sleep.
Well, I best be getting back.
We'll all be waking up soon. I suggest a drop of brandy.
- Thank you. -You're welcome, mate.
Buckles keep catching on me doo-dah. Ha, ha.
PATRICK: Omri!
[GROANS]
I'm so ashamed of myself.
[GRUNTING]
I hurt you.
Oh.
What are you talking about?
Did I hear somebody say something about brandy?
[LAUGHING]
LITTLE BEAR: No, Omri.
She has her life.
She has a family...
...a clan...
...maybe a husband and a child.
I don't want you to be alone.
I will be with my people.
Omri?
I will be with you when the sun rises?
One more time.
[LITTLE BEAR SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[GRUNTING]
[CONTINUES SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Hey, son.
When we go back, are we going to the last thing we remember, or ahead?
I don't know.
I hope it's forwards. How about you, Little Bear?
Little Bear! Where are you headed?
I was on the journey with my brother's son.
I think I will wake up in the woods.
It is quiet.
The nights are getting cold.
I can almost smell the trees.
Lord, I can almost smell them too.
It's like I'm part Indian now.
If you were my nephew...
...it'd almost be time to walk you through the forest.
I would go.
It is difficult.
You would live by yourself, care for yourself.
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
We would travel for days...
...tell stories...
...hunt and fish.
I'd leave you and return to the village.
You must live alone for one season.
You would learn to live in harmony with Mother Nature...
...the two-legged, four-legged...
...the winged.
When the seasons changed...
...my nephew would come home.
I would be waiting for you.
Little Bear.
We would have a great celebration...
...because you returned to the village as a man.
When I leave you, Omri...
...I take you...
...as my nephew.
BOONE". Time to go, gentlemen.
[HORSE NEIGHING]
Easy, Darling. Easy now.
Don't y'all forget me.
I won't.
You look after yourself, Little Bear.
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
[IN ENGLISH] And you, friend.
Goodbye, my friendly giants.
- Great Spirit? -Yes, Little Bear?
Tell me about the Onéfidayega'.
Are we always a great people?
You are always a great people.
But it's not always so good.
Things change for us.
They will.
We go.
[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
NQW!
[HORSE NEIGHING]
OMRI [NARRATING]: "I will never know where he is or how he is...
...but now I don't worry about him anymore.
I think Little Bear will have lots of children...
...and he will teach them everything.
He will always take care of his people."
That's all.
Very nice. That's a good ending, Omri.
Sam?
SAM: "One day, JFK was killed.
He was shot on a street in Texas.
My Grandpa says that he remembers exactly where he was..."
