All language subtitles for Adventures of Black Beauty s02e06 Battle of Wills

Bye.

Well, now, get as much rest as you
possibly can.

I'll look in and see you again tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Dr. Gordon!

Yes? Your bills.

Now, you get well and strong first, Mrs.
Fuller. Then perhaps we'll think about

bills. Hot beauty.

And don't worry about anything.

Go, beauty, go!

What's happened? What's happened to
Father? Where is he?

I'm afraid I shall be out of action for
about six weeks.

As long as that?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

So I've sent for a relief doctor from
Crowley.

Well, I hope he can ride, because Ned
saw the blacksmith this morning, and he

said he can't repair the trap inside
three weeks.

I don't know anything about him, except
that he's just come out of medical

school.

But if he's anything like me on my first
job, he'll be all fingers and thumbs

and nerves and apologies and untidy.

Yes, young doctors are the untidiest
people I know.

There's your case, sir.

How much do I owe you for the fact?

Oh, I never charged Dr. Gordon, sir.

I'm not Dr. Gordon.

That be sufficient?

Thank you kindly, sir.

Good luck to you.

Come in.

Dr. Phelps is here, Dr. Gordon.

Oh, good.

Show him in.

Good morning, Dr. Gordon.

Glad to see you, Dr. Phelps. I'm most
happy to be of service, sir.

We'll try to make you feel at home,
won't we, Amy?

Yes, of course we will. And your room's
all ready for you, Doctor. Thank you.

Oh, you'll have Black Beauty to ride.

In fact, he'll probably show you around.

He's quite a remarkable horse.

Well, I look forward to meeting him.

I'll go through this list of patients
with you later.

You'll find Miss Winthrop will look
after you extremely well.

Ah, Miss Winthrop, you cook like an
angel.

Seldom have I tasted anything so
exquisite as that rhubarb tart.

Oh. Would you like some more? I thought
you'd never ask.

Do you ride, Dr. Phelps?

Yes.

Rather well, though I say it myself.

Your father has already said that the
doctor may ride beauty.

Miss Winthrop says he's a rather
remarkable animal.

Remarkable? He's wonderful.

Oh, and what is so wonderful about him?
Does he fly, perhaps?

You might think so, sometimes, when he
takes a jump.

Well, I hope you'll show me this flighty
animal tomorrow, Miss Gordon, provided

he doesn't fly away in the middle of the
night.

Oh,

I say, what a positively splendid horse,
Miss Gordon.

Couldn't agree with you more, my dear
fellow.

Another slice of rhubarb tart, perhaps?

Oh, tar.

Frightfully tar.

I had thought I was staying

with a well -behaved family.

It was only fun.

You find good manners and common decency
a source of amusement.

My father taught me otherwise.

It's a shame no one has taken the
trouble to teach you.

I'm sorry, Dr. Phelps.

So this is Black Beauty, huh?

Bring him out.

I'm frightfully sorry, Dr. Phelps.

Come on.

Stay, boy. Stay, beauty.

Yes, he is a beauty.

Well, let's see how he takes to a new
rider.

Beauty, stay.

Stand still.

Beauty. Come here.

Down.

Stand still.

Steady.

Steady, Beauty.

Stand still.

I said stand still.

I don't need you to control the beast
for me. But Beauty isn't like any other

horse, Dr. Phelps. The relationship
between a horse and a rider is the same

anywhere, Miss Gordon. The horse must
obey.

Dr.

Phelps!

He's absolutely charming.

Such manners. It's a delight having him
here.

Did you tell him it wasn't necessary?

How could I? He was gone so quickly.

I'm afraid he'll hurt Beauty.

Look, Jenny, it's his first day here and
he's new to our ways.

I think we can allow him one or two
mistakes, don't you?

All right, don't worry.

I'll have a word with him after lunch.

So, you'd fight me, would you?

Good. Good, I like a fight.

We'll continue this little battle in a
few moments.

Get down from there and take this up to
your father, will you?

I'll try to look a little happier for
him than you have all morning for me.

Yes, Amy.

Good.

Your lunch, Father.

Oh, thank you.

Beauty. All right, Beauty?

Oh, Beauty.

Oh, what's he done to you?

Oh.

Beauty.

How could he? How could he?

Dr. Phelps, you've hurt Beauty.

Why don't you sit down and have your
lunch, Miss Gordon? The soup is

You use spurs on him.

Yes. It's cruel and unnecessary.

Jenny! If it was unnecessary, I wouldn't
use them.

My father wants to talk to you about
that.

I see.

Miss Gordon, if I'm to continue here, I
must have freedom to run things my own

way.

However, it seems you have strong
objections to spurs.

So I'll remove them before I continue my
rounds this afternoon.

Do you excuse me, Miss Winters?

You had no right to talk to him like
that.

And he was just telling me what a fine
animal beauty was.

There. It's all right.

It's not too bad, thank goodness.

It'll soon heal.

Good boy.

Good boy. Miss Gordon!

Miss Gordon!

I'm waiting for the horse.

Come on, Beauty, come on.

As you can see, Miss Gordon, I have
dispensed with the spurs. I should hope

It's obvious we have very different
views on handling horses.

However...

Steady, Beauty,

steady.

wonderful beauty isn't really terribly
well behaved, is he?

Well then.

Steady. And you say spurs aren't
necessary, Miss Gordon?

As for you, sir, I was appalled at the
state of this animal's stable.

Do you know nothing about hygiene?

I suggest you clean it out this
afternoon.

Now.

Would you be so kind as to take me on my
afternoon rounds?

Who does he think he is, talking to us
like that?

Anyone would think he owned the place.

Maybe he wishes he did.

All right.

Now let's see some real speed.

Dr.

Phelps is back from Crowley.

Good afternoon, Miss Winthrop. You had a
successful check. Yes, indeed.

Ah, Miss Gordon.

Perhaps you'd be so kind as to take this
book up to your father.

I think it might interest him. Yes, Dr.
Phelps.

And here is the lace you asked me to get
for you. Oh, thank you, Doctor.

Anesthetics. Recent developments.

Medical science is moving so quickly, I
don't know how anybody can be expected

to keep up with it.

Yet Dr. Phelps seems to manage it
somehow.

It might interest you, Jenny.

What's worrying you?

I'm not worried.

Then why can't you hear his name without
frowning?

I don't know, Father. Ah, you just did
it again.

Amy seems to like him.

Well, he took off the spurs when we
asked him.

But Beauty's afraid of him.

Well, Babs, the fault lies with Beauty.

Animals can take a sudden dislike to
people, just like humans.

And often it's just as hard for them to
change their first judgment.

No, Father.

If Beauty's afraid of Dr. Phelps, then I
know he has a good reason for it.

Here it is.

New bridal I promised for Beauty.

I'm sorry it's taken so long to come.

Well? Well, Miss Winthrop?

Does it suit the animal?

Oh, yes.

Yes, oh yes, I think it's very became.

Well, I don't like it. You're not the
one that has to wear it.

Mrs.

Fuller. The doctor, please.

He's out on his morning rounds, Mrs.
Fuller.

I don't... want to cause any trouble,
but could I see Dr.

Gordon? You're no trouble at all, but
you should have had Dr. Phelps visit

But he wouldn't come.

Come along.

Well, come on, lad.

You think Dr. Gordon wants to see you?

Oh, does he now?

Well, take the horse.

young, lout Ned tells me he wants to see
me.

Shut the door.

As your physician, I strongly advise you
to rest that leg.

I've had Mrs Fuller here.

Fuller?

Ah, yes.

You haven't treated her for four days.

She hasn't paid you for four months.

Well, that's my business.

As your relief, it is also mine.

Your business is to look after our
patients.

And that's exactly what I have been
doing.

And Mrs. Fuller?

I don't believe she's as ill as she
maintains.

She was taken to the county hospital
half an hour ago.

It wouldn't have been necessary if you'd
continued the treatment I had

prescribed. I'm afraid I haven't the
time to discuss this with you further.

I've received an urgent call from Mr.
Armstrong.

One of his grooms has come down with a
fever.

Now look here, Phelps.

You're a young man.

Don't patronize me, Dr. Gordon.

If you have criticisms of my
professional behavior, I'll be happy to

them after I get back from Mr.
Armstrong's.

Where do you think you're going?

That's not the way.

It's this way! I said it's this way!

This is as good a place as any to teach
you a lesson.

Now come here!

If you won't learn to obey me, you'll
have to learn to obey the whip!

Take that! And that!

I'll teach you!

Get back!

Get back!

What do you think you're doing? Get
back, you brute!

Beauty, where's Dr. Phelps?

He must have thrown him.

Ned, look.

He's been beaten.

Phelps did this to you, didn't he?

Ned, go and get some ointment.

Come on, Beauty, come on.

I'll soon make you better.

I promise, I

promise I'll never let him do this to
you again.

If it's the last thing I do!

I have already informed the authorities
that this animal is dangerous.

And I'm sure they'll act promptly to
have it destroyed.

You used that whip on him. That's why he
attacked you.

Miss Gordon, I used the whip only to
defend myself.

It's not true.

Beauty wouldn't attack anyone without
good reason.

Now, Dr. Phelps, you say beauty behaves
irrationally in your presence. Are you

ready to give us a demonstration?

Very well, since you obviously doubt my
word.

Without the whip, if you please, Doctor.

Of course.

It must have been the whip that did it.

I think that proves my daughter's been
telling the truth.

Come along, Jenny.

There! Now do you believe me?

No, wait a minute.

It's a new bridal, isn't it? Dr. Gordon,
surely you've seen enough?

No, it is a new bridal.

And I thought you bought it out of
kindness.

Amy, what are you talking about?

Look, Dr. Gordon, he's tightened the
chain so that it bites right into

jaw. Father! It's horrible.

Jenny, get that vicious thing off
Beauty.

Dr. Phelps, I think perhaps you'd better
move into the inn at Five Oaks until I

can find a replacement for you.

Very well.

If you so wish.

Yes, I do.

I won't mention this to the medical
council, but if you wish to continue in

profession, you might try to acquire a
little compassion before moving to

another practice.

What do you think you're doing with my
suitcase?

I took the liberty of packing it for
you, Your Lordship.

And you can be sure, Dr. Gordon, that at
my next practice, less time will be

wasted on the emotions of a dumb animal.

Ginny, would you be so good as to ask
Beauty to see our guest off the

Certainly. Go on, Beauty.

Good night. Good night.
