:21:01
And then to have you, Robbie,
tell me it's each man for himself,
:21:05
and act as though you spoke
for half the island,
:21:08
when you're not two days back from
working for the boats that ruined us!
:21:11
Three months' work
and £63 to show for it!
:21:14
Shillings is what I'd be showing
if I'd stayed on Hirta.
:21:16
- Och, you're no son o' mine!
- Don't take it so hard, Peter, man.
:21:20
The boy's just said
what had to be said.
:21:23
Men we must have,
and where are we going to get them?
:21:26
Oh, this tale o' Robbie's has been
in my mind for a long while.
:21:30
Now, if we was to petition
the Government,
:21:33
there's little doubt we'd get free
transportation and a grant o' land.
:21:37
I would remind you, James Gray,
that that is for the laird to decide.
:21:40
And it's within my province...
:21:42
We'll respect everybody.
This seems a simple enough matter.
:21:46
We've agreed to race to the top,
and race we will.
:21:49
Let the man who gets there first
have the way of it.
:21:52
If parliament sat for a thousand
years, they wouldn't decide better.
:21:55
Well, it may be so, Andrew,
but I don't approve.
:21:59
No, it's too risky.
:22:02
- Do you no think so, Peter?
- I can see no objection.
:22:05
Well, then, down to the boats.
:22:06
Come on, then.
:22:20
- Peter.
- What is it?
:22:22
You're letting the two boys
risk certain death.
:22:25
A word from you would stop this race.
:22:27
I've climbed the Hoevdi three times.
:22:29
- But with a rope.
- Aye.
:22:35
Don't go, either of you!
It's a mad way to settle it!
:22:38
- It's the only way!
- Can't you discuss it?
:22:40
- We tried that.
- It's no good, Ruth.
:22:41
You'll both be killed.
:22:43
I felt it when we saw
the mountains in the sky.
:22:46
And the sun went in the clouds.
:22:49
I'll lose you both!
:22:52
And yesterday I was so happy.
:22:54
- There's nae time to waste.
- Heave away, there!
:22:57
All together!
