:17:01
- What do you mean?
- Just that.
:17:04
- I like plain speech.
- Then you'll have it.
:17:06
- You're leaving the island?
- Aye.
:17:09
- Short-handed as we are?
- Aye.
:17:11
- Does anybody know?
- Only you two.
:17:15
- When are you going to tell Peter?
- Tomorrow.
:17:18
- The boat parliament?
- Aye.
:17:20
Ah, Robbie, man,
you've gone over to the other side.
:17:23
Before I went away,
I would have said the same as you.
:17:26
But the world's changed,
it's bigger, it's easier to get at.
:17:29
Before, we were no worse off
than anyone else.
:17:32
Now we're living in an old world.
:17:34
I've got a turn for machinery,
I can do things with it.
:17:37
Why should I give it up?
:17:38
What can Polly and I hope for
if I drag her back here?
:17:42
Ah, Robbie, you're too clever for me.
:17:45
You go your way and I'll go mine.
:17:48
- Aye, but can't you see...
- That's final.
:17:50
If you want to run away because
the work's too hard, or your fancy...
:17:55
- Leave her out of it!
- I'd be glad to.
:17:58
I'm as good a man as you. I could
always beat you on the cliffs.
:18:01
- You're a stone lighter.
- Oh, that's nothing.
:18:06
Do you see Wester Hoevdi?
:18:08
To climb Wester Hoevdi without a rope
was another of the old trials.
:18:12
Well, what do you say?
:18:14
- (Andrew) Shall we make it a race?
- Aye.
:18:22
Look.
:18:24
The hills of Scotland.
:18:44
I forbid it. A mad race like this
can settle nothing.
:18:49
I'll not speak here of the defiance
in which I've been set by my own son.
:18:53
I want you to speak of it.
This affects every man on the island.
:18:57
You keep silent.
:18:59
The boy's right, Peter Manson.
