Bluey Waters Quotes in Ride a Wild Pony (1975)

[first lines]

Bluey Waters: Hey, you, Scott Pirie! Where do you think you're going with that pony? Scotty, come back here!

James Ellison: What do you think of it?

Josie Ellison: It looks like your sulky.

James Ellison: Yes, but it's not for racing.

Bluey Waters: Now all you need is a pony. Would you like to choose one out of the paddock?

Josie Ellison: No. I don't want one that's broken already.

Bluey Waters: Josie, you'll have a job teaching an unbroke pony to pull this thing.

Josie Ellison: I don't care. He'll be my pony, and I want to start from scratch. He won't do anything except for my command.

Josie Ellison: Come here, Bo. Come here, you beauty.

Bluey Waters: Why don't you give him a carrot?

Josie Ellison: No, I'm not going to spoil him.

Bluey Waters: He'll never let you near him without one.

Josie Ellison: Yes, he will. Come on, Bo.

Bluey Waters: He's afraid of the chair.

James Ellison: Yes, I know.

Bluey Waters: Would you like me to ride him a bit first, Josie?

Josie Ellison: No, he's my pony, and I'll do it my way. Come on, Bo. I'm not going to hurt you, I'm just going to pet you a bit. Yes, you're all right.

Josie Ellison: [after the pony bites her] That's mean!

Bluey Waters: He's laughing at you. Go ahead and give him a good whack.

Josie Ellison: It wasn't a bite. It wasn't. It was just... just a joke.

Bluey Waters: Look at her go!

James Ellison: I just realized how light that buggy is with only Josie in it.

Mrs. Ellison: But look what she's doing now! James, she's going to...

James Ellison: I know, but she must learn for herself what she can and what she can't do.

Mrs. Ellison: Not Josie. What she can't do, she'll simply try to do.

Josie Ellison: He's good, Dad. He's ready, Bluey, I know he is!

James Ellison: What do you think, Bluey?

Bluey Waters: I reckon so.

Charles E. Quayle: Who caught the Pirie pony?

Bluey Waters: I did.

Charles E. Quayle: Is there any possibility that the pony in the police pound could be Scott Pirie's?

Bluey Waters: No, I know it isn't.

Charles E. Quayle: When you caught the pony, did you measure it, or take any notes of its coloration, or any distinguishing marks in its tail or mane?

Bluey Waters: No, those Welsh ponies all look alike.
