Revealing mistakes: At one point while Spirit is watching Rain and Little Creek from inside the pen, you can see a bottom portion of his mouth pass through a log in the fence and linger there briefly, as if the log wasn't there

Quotes:

Spirit: I had been waiting so long to run free, but that goodbye was harder than I ever imagined. I'll never forget that boy and how we won back our freedom together.
