  2. Artax, you’re sinking! Come on, turn around, you have to, now! Come on! Artax! Fight against the sadness, Artax. Artax, please, you’re letting the sadness of the swamps get to you. You have to try. You have to care, for me, you’re my friend, and I love you. Artax! Stupid horse! You’ve gotta move or you’ll die! Move, please! I won’t give up! Don’t quit! Artax! Please!

    (then he pleads with him.)

    Move please. I won’t give up! Jump quick! Artax please!
