Oh, Grandmother. Charlotte Thorpe:
Jim! Hiram Thorpe:
[Hiram pulls the wagon to a stop]
Whoa. Well, the boy's in school, Charlotte. I think he'll stay there this time. I took him far enough away... Hiram Thorpe:

Jim? How'd you get here? Charlotte Thorpe:
He ran. Hiram Thorpe:
You ran 15 miles? Jim Thorpe - as a Boy:
Only 12, Pa. I came through the hills. Hiram Thorpe:
Did you hear that, Charlotte? 12 miles through the hills. Charlotte Thorpe:
I hope he enjoyed it, because he goes back to school tomorrow. Jim Thorpe - as a Boy:
I'll run away. Charlotte Thorpe:
You're his father. You taught him all the things he likes to do; now teach him what he has to do
