The Young Riders Season 1 Episode 20

Judge Enright: Nobody holding a gun on your is a friend.

Clara: It's about a man who get's shipwrecked on an island in the middle of the ocean. He thinks its deserted but there are cannibals and pirates...
Jimmy: It sounds exciting.
Clara: It's full of adventure. Robinson Caruso.
Jimmy: (Holds it and kind of looks at it. Shyly:) Loks like a real nice book, Clara, but I'm not too sure...
Clara: I know, you can't read. There's no shame in that.
Jimmy: So, why'd you give it to me?
Clara: Cause I'm gonna teach you. We'll read a little of this every day, and before you know it, you'll be readin' by yourself.
Judge: (Off screen) No he won't. (Camera turns to the judge) You're not gonna waste his time with books.
Clara: It's not a waste.
Judge: It is for him.
Jimmy: I'd like to learn how to read, sir.
Judge: Readin's for most folks, cause that's the only way they can learn, but not for you son, believe me. You're the kind of man that learns best from doing not reading. These books got nothin' to teach you. All you'll ever need to know is waiting for you out there. (Points off camera) These are dangerous times we live in. (Walks to fireplace) This country needs men of action. Strong men that can tame the land and bend it to their will. That's your future son. (Tosses book in the fire).
