Quotes 

• [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.
