T Rex - Ride A White Swan

[sunny spring day, fresh green and light blue as far as the eye can reach, flock of sheep, lambs jumping around as if on dope]

L (going for a ride on a small farm track leading right past the flock; spots the shepherd): Good morning!

H (turning around, cradling a small lamb in his arms): Good morning, Sir Louis! How are you?

L: Are you Harry Styles? I'm sorry, I feel like I should know my tenants.

H: No worries! (emits actual rays of sunshine from his dimples)  I was living in the city for the past couple years. No wonder you haven't seen me around.

L (intrigued):  Have you worked as a shepherd before?

H: Well, actually I used to be a baker. But I can do this, I think. I wanted to do something with animals. I love animals. And fresh air. My stepdad showed me how to tend to the sheep when he passed this herd onto me. But they are quite self-sufficient anyway. They each have a head of their own. (on cue, the fluffy lamb starts wiggling around, H has trouble keeping his grasp on the rebel)

L (patronizingly):  Good luck then, young Harry. Please don't hesitate to contact me whenever you need anything. I like to keep in touch with all my staff members and tenants.

H: Thank you very much, Sir. I promise to call you if there is a problem.

L: Very good, very good. Have a nice day!

H: You too, Sir. Good bye, horse.

L: He's called Simon.

H: Oh. Bye, Simon.
