CAN I HAVE ANOTHER ONE?
YOU'RE GOING BACK TO NEW YORK, RIGHT?
AMY, I'M NOT JUST GOING BACK TO NEW YORK BECAUSE OF CARL.
I'M GOING BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I LIVE.
THAT'S WHERE MY JOB IS.
I GOT FIRED.
WHAT?
DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD I WORKED TO GET THERE?
TO GET OUT OF HERE?
(GOOSE HONKS)
(LAUGHING) HE'S REALLY MAD.
GO GET HIM. I DARE YOU.
(SHRIEKS)
(DUCKS HONKING)
(SHRIEKING)
SCOTT: TRY TO GRAB THAT ONE.
OH, HE'S COMING AT YOU, LOU.
HERE HE COMES.
OH, ALL RIGHT, COMIN' AT YOU, LOU.
LOU: NO, NO, DON'T! (SHRIEKS)
SCOTT: NOW YOU'VE DONE IT.
LOU: OH MY GOD! GET THEM AWAY FROM ME!
(WHIMPERING)
SCOTT: (GRUNTS)
OKAY, HOLD HIM.
HOLD HIM?!
NO WAY!
I NEED BOTH HANDS TO MAKE SURE I GET THE RIGHT DOSE IN.
(WEARY GROAN)
(SHARP GASP) OH MY GOD! HE POOPED ON ME.
JUST A SECOND MORE.
CAN YOU HURRY UP, PLEASE?
(SHRIEKS)
(WHIMPERING) HE POOPED ON ME AGAIN.
OKAY, HOLD ON.
(WHIMPERING)
EASY.
YOU'RE OKAY.
THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT.
ALL DONE.
YOU CAN LET HER GO NOW.
(GOOSE HONKS)
IT'S OKAY, LOU,
ONLY THREE MORE TO GO.
YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME
WHY I LEFT HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
NO PROBLEM.
(GOOSE HONKS)
LOU: (SHRIEKS)
AMY: SCOTT VETTED HIM AT THE RESCUE CENTER.
HE'S PERFECTLY SOUND,
DECENT BLOODLINES.
HE'S EVEN GOT A NAME - PIRATE.
SO, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
AMY: WELL, HE DOESN'T STOP WHEN YOU PULL HIM UP
AND HE DOESN'T GO FORWARD WHEN YOU KICK HIM.
(LAUGHING)
AND HE DOESN'T NECK REIN.
HE MUST BE GOOD FOR SOMETHING.
AMY: WELL, I WAS HOPING TO ASK OUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD VET,
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S GOT HIMSELF
TIED UP DE-WORMING GEESE.
LOU: (SHRIEKS)
MALLORY: GROSS.
I'VE NEVER SEEN LOU GET DOWN AND DIRTY
WITH A GOOSE BEFORE.
BOTH: (LAUGHING)
(CAR RUMBLES UP DRIVE)
HEY, WHO'S THE DUDE?
I DON'T KNOW. MUST BE A TOURIST.
HE LOOKS LIKE AN OIL MAN.
I'M BETTING REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER.
AMY: MAYBE LOU KNOWS HIM.
SCOTT: (LOW, SOOTHING WORDS)
(CAR DOOR SLAMS SHUT)
LOU: OH MY GOD, CARL!
(GASPS)
FIGURE SHE MIGHT.
LOU: (HAPPY SQUEAL)
CARL: (GRUNTS)
(CHUCKLES)
LOU: (HAPPY SQUEAL)
(GIGGLING)

LOU: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
AND LOSE THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE?
LOOK AT YOU.
I WOULD NOT HAVE MISSED THIS FOR THE WORLD.
YOU CAME ALL THE WAY FROM NEW YORK
JUST TO MAKE FUN OF ME?
NO, NO.
I GOT A NEW JOB, IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO?
YES, I GAVE THE NEW YORK OFFICE MY NOTICE.
IT IS A HUGE, HUGE BUMP UP FOR ME, LOU.
IT'S EVERYTHING THAT WE USED TO TALK ABOUT.
IT SEEMS LIKE SUCH A LONG TIME AGO.
NOT FOR ME IT DOESN'T.
WHY DO YOU THINK I'M HERE?
I DON'T KNOW.
A SUDDEN INTEREST IN THE WILD WEST?
DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO ASK?
NO. I GUESS NOT.
MMM...
TAKE A SHOWER.
(LAUGHS)
(ANIMAL WAILS)
AMY: HEY, SCOTT.
AREN'T YOU STAYING FOR DINNER?
UH, I FORGOT, I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT.
UH...
TELL LOU I'M SORRY.
WHAT ABOUT PIRATE?
OH YEAH.
I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIND OUT WHERE HE CAME FROM.
(STARTS THE TRUCK UP)
I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T PICK UP ON THIS BEFORE.
PICKED UP ON WHAT?
ALL THE SIGNS ARE TOTALLY THERE.
SCOTT'S IN LOVE WITH LOU
AND HE'S SECRETLY DEVASTATED
ABOUT THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEW YORK BOYFRIEND.
CARL: WITH STOCK OPTIONS, THEY PAID MY MOVING EXPENSES
AND A GREAT CORNER OFFICE WITH A KILLER VIEW.
IT'S A TOTAL NO-BRAINER.
LOU: THIS NEW JOB IN CHICAGO,
IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE WITH GRIFFIN AND SHARPE,
WOULD IT?
YEAH.
YEAH, HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
WELL, IT'S PROBABLY JUST A COINCIDENCE,
BUT I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM THEM
ASKING ME TO INTERVIEW FOR A POSITION.
OH, COOL.
SO WHAT DID YOU TELL 'EM?
WELL, I DIDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE.
IT'S NOT LIKE UH...
YOU'VE GOT A JOB IN NEW YORK ANYMORE.
(SIGHING) YEAH.
I GUESS I SHOULD'VE SEEN THAT COMING, HUH?
SO DID ANYONE SAY ANYTHING?
MMM...
COME ON, CARL, I KNOW THE DRILL:
FIRST YOU GET FIRED, THEN YOU GET TRASHED.
WHICH IS WHY YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CONSIDER CHICAGO.
IT'S A HAPPENING FIRM. YOU'D FIT RIGHT IN THERE.
I'M KINDA WORKING HERE RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, ON THE FAMILY FARM.
IT'S UH... QUAINT.
BUT FRANKLY, I DON'T REALLY SEE YOU
AS A FARM GIRL.
(DOOR BANGS OPEN)
JACK: THERE YOU ARE.
SCOTT JUST LEFT.
I THOUGHT HE WAS STAYING FOR SUPPER.
GRAMPA, YOU FINALLY GET TO MEET CARL.
CARL, THIS IS MY GRANDFATHER JACK BARTLETT.
WELL, THE NEW YORK BOYFRIEND.
GOOD TO MEET YOU.
HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU, JACK.
LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT A BIT OF THE MOTHER SHIP
STUCK TO YOUR EAR THERE, CARL.
(CHUCKLES)
CARL: WHICH REMINDS ME,
I LEFT MY LAPTOP IN THE RENTAL.
(CAR ALARM SQUELCHES)
LOU: UH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOCK YOUR CAR OUT HERE, CARL.
HOW LONG IS HE STAYING?
JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS.
I FIGURE SINCE BEN'S AWAY AT A SHOW
WE COULD PUT HIM IN HERE.
IN YOUR MOTHER'S ROOM.
YEAH.
WELL, THAT'S UH...
THE ROOM THAT BUTTS RIGHT UP AGAINST UH...
YOUR ROOM.
(SIGHING)
TY: ARE YOU KIDDING?
GIVE YOUR BIG SHOT NEW YORK BOYFRIEND MY ROOM?
LOU: I'M NOT ASKING YOU, I'M TELLING YOU.
AND WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GO?
SLEEP IN A STALL? PITCH A TENT OUT IN THE YARD?
CURL UP IN THE MANURE PILE?
NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT KICKING YOU OUT.
NO WAY.
CARL: WELL, THAT'S ABOUT IT.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
WHICH BED IS MINE?
TY: YOU'RE OVER THERE.
PERFECT.
JUST PERFECT.
ALL RIGHT.
DO YOU HAVE WI-FI HERE?
NOPE.
YOU'LL HAVE TO DOWNGRADE TO DIAL-UP.
(ANNOYED SIGH)
WHERE'S YOUR PHONE JACK?
I THINK THERE'S ONE IN THE HOUSE.
HEY, COWBOY,
WE BOTH KNOW THIS SUCKS.
PERSONAL ISSUES ASIDE, I GET A TON OF EMAIL
AND I'M GOING TO NEED INTERNET CONNECTIVITY HERE.
(CHUCKLES)
TRUST ME,
YOU'RE SLEEPING OVER A BARN FULL OF HORSES,
YOUR INTERNET CONNECTIVITY IS THE LEAST OF YOUR PROBLEMS.
CARL: NO, THANKS.
YOU KNOW...
I SAW A LOT OF OIL WELLS,
A LOT OF GAS WELLS ON THE DRIVE UP HERE.
THEY'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
FRANKLY, I'M LITTLE SURPRISED.
JACK, AS LOU KNOWS,
YOU'RE SITTING ON A GOLDMINE HERE.
WELL, THIS OUTFIT'S BEEN IN MY FAMILY
FOR SIX GENERATIONS.
WE DON'T LOOK ON IT AS AN INVESTMENT PROPERTY.
NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SELLING THE FARM,
I'M TALKING ABOUT COMMODIFYING
THE MINERAL RIGHTS.
HEARTLAND IS OUR HOME, CARL.
IT'S A HORSE RANCH.
CARL: ALL RIGHT.
WELL, YOU JUST REPURPOSE A COUPLE HUNDRED ACRES
OFF IN SOME LOST CORNER OF THE RANCH.
YOU'D NEVER EVEN KNOW.
IT'S A DEVELOPER'S DREAM.
I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE.
HEARTLAND ESTATES.
A MILLION TIMES.
CARL: BETTER YET,
HEARTLAND EXECUTIVE ESTATES. MIGHT EVEN BUY IN MYSELF.
SO, CARL,
UM, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN AROUND HORSES BEFORE?
CARL: YEAH, SURE.
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER,
MY PARENTS TOOK ME OUT TO A DUDE RANCH
EVERY SUMMER IN ARIZONA.
(QUIETLY) DUDE.
LOU: SO, GREAT, UM...
MAYBE YOU AND MALLORY COULD TAKE CARL
ON A TRAIL RIDE, AMY.
I'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK, LOU.
BUT SURE.
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND HORSES LATELY, CARL?
NO, BUT IT'S LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE, RIGHT?
ONCE YOU LEARN, YOU NEVER FORGET.
AMY: SO YOUR FRIEND CARL SURE HAS A LOT OF GOOD IDEAS
ABOUT HOW THIS PLACE CAN MAKE MORE MONEY.
LOU: I KNOW HE COMES OFF A BIT CORPORATE AT FIRST,
BUT ONCE HE SETTLES IN
YOU'LL SEE WHAT A FUN GUY HE IS.
SETTLES IN? HOW LONG IS HE STAYING?
LOU: JUST A COUPLE DAYS.
HE'S GOT A NEW JOB IN CHICAGO THAT STARTS NEXT WEEK,
SO YOU CAN COOL IT WITH THE ATTITUDE.
AMY: ARE YOU PLANNING ON GOING WITH HIM?
(CHUCKLING) YOU'D LIKE THAT, WOULDN'T YOU?
NOT NECESSARILY.
FOUR BOXES OF CAKE MIX?
HOW MANY BIRTHDAY CAKES ARE YOU PLANNING ON MAKING?
JUST THE ONE.
THE OTHERS ARE INSURANCE IN CASE THE FIRST ONE'S A FLOP.
WHEN IT COMES TO GRAMPA'S BIRTHDAY CAKE,
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.
(PAPERS RUSTLING)
TY: YOU KNOW, WORKS STARTS PRETTY EARLY AROUND HERE.
CARL: YEAH?
I'M ON VACATION.
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
HELLO?
YEAH, I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
(BREATH SPRAY SPRITZES)
TY: LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO, BUT...
(ANNOYED SIGH)
NEVER MIND.
(FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS)
(GEESE SQUAWK AND HONK)
(CHUCKLES)
CARL: (GASPS AND SHOUTS)
(CALMING BREATH)
I SEE YOU JUST ACCIDENTALLY TRIGGERED
OUR ALARM SYSTEM THERE.
YEAH, IT'S SURPRISINGLY EFFICIENT
FOR SUCH A LOW TECH SECURITY SOLUTION.
WELL, MOST OF THE TIME, IT WORKS REAL GOOD,
BUT IF IT DOESN'T THERE'S ALWAYS BACKUP.
MORE DUCKS?
THEY'RE GEESE.
JUST TESTING YOU, JACK.
THE THING IS, CARL,
THE OLDER YOU GET, THE LIGHTER YOU SLEEP.
YOU KNOW, A FOOT STEPS ON THE PORCH,
A SCREEN DOOR SLAMS,
A BED SPRING SQUEAKS.
YOU GET MY DRIFT?
(FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS)
TY: HOW'S THE VACATION GOING SO FAR?
CARL: (ANNOYED SIGH)
MALLORY: OH MY GOD.
THEY'RE WEARING MATCHING OUTFITS.
SO WHAT?
IT'S ONE OF THOSE SIGNS.
YOU DON'T SEE IT VERY OFTEN,
BUT WHEN YOU DO, IT'S SERIOUS.
(CHUCKLES)
THEY'RE NOT MATCHING. THEY'RE JUST BOTH IN BLACK.
THEY'RE FROM NEW YORK.
LOU: SO, AMY, IN TERMS OF PRIORITIZING
YOUR SCHEDULE...
AMY: MMM, PRIORITIZING?
I THINK WHAT SHE MEANS IS, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FIRST?
LOU: I JUST NEED SOME FEEDBACK ON THE HORSE'S PROGRESS
SO WHEN I TOUCH BASE WITH THE CLIENTS...
WAIT, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? I HAVEN'T FINISHED YET.
I'M JUST DOING SOME PRIORITIZING OF MY OWN.
TY.
I'M JUST DOING WHATEVER HE TELLS ME TO DO.
AMY: IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO PRIORITIZE,
WE'RE RUNNING LOW ON ALFALFA CUBES.
LOU: THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A SCHEDULE, AMY.
WE MAKE ORDERS ON MONDAY A.M.
YOU HAVE A SCHEDULE?
YEAH, LOU'S GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT.
IT'S WHY WE'RE RUNNING LOW ON FEED.
LOU: I'M GOING INTO HUDSON ANYWAY,
BUT I WAS THINKING OF SWITCHING TO PELLETS.
MOM NEVER USED PELLETS.
THEY'RE HALF THE PRICE OF CUBES.
OH, IT'S USELESS TO ARGUE THE BOTTOM LINE WITH LOU.
TRUST ME, I'VE TRIED.
AMY: IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT PELLETS AREN'T HALF AS GOOD AS CUBES.
YOU SEE WHAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH EVERY DAY?
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT INTERVIEW
WITH GRIFFIN AND SHARPE.
CHICAGO'S A GREAT TOWN.
YEAH, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO CHICAGO, CARL,
I'M GOING INTO HUDSON WITH MY GRAMPA
AND I WAS KIND OF HOPING YOU'D COME WITH US.
OH, NO, I DROVE THROUGH HUDSON ON MY WAY IN FROM THE AIRPORT
AND I SAW EVERYTHING THAT THERE IS TO SEE
IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS
THAT IT TOOK ME TO GET FROM ONE END OF THE TOWN
TO THE OTHER.
THAT'S INCLUDING THE FULL STOP THAT I MADE
AT THE CITY'S ONE STOP SIGN.
AMY: I JUST...
I HATE THE WAY LOU ACTS LIKE THE CEO OF HEARTLAND
WHEN CARL'S AROUND.
TY: JUST BE HAPPY YOU'RE NOT BUNKING WITH HIM.
AT LEAST YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO RIDING WITH HIM.
HE SPENT 15 MINUTES ON A DUDE RANCH
WHEN HE WAS 12.
TY: (LAUGHS)
WHOA, DUDE.
(HORSE SNORTS)
(HORSE WHICKERS)
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS GUY?
AMY: MAYBE IT'S THE "WHOA".
LET ME TRY SOMETHING.
(HORSE HOOVES CLOP)
AND WHOA.
OF COURSE.
VERBAL SIGNALS.
THIS HORSE IS TRAINED TO RESPOND TO VERBAL SIGNALS.
SO YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE HIM STOP,
HOW DO YOU MAKE HIM GO?
HMM...
WALK ON.
(CHUCKLES) NO?
UM...
COME ON, LET'S GO.
MOVE THAT BIG BUTT OF YOURS!
COME ON.
GET ALONG.
(HORSE HOOVES CLOP)
TY: WHOA? GET ALONG?
THIS HORSE SPEAKS COWBOY.
(CHUCKLES HAPPILY)
HOW ABOUT A NICE NEW SHIRT?
I'VE GOT TOO MANY DAMN SHIRTS AS IT IS.
THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING HERE YOU WANT.
WELL, I DID NOTICE THAT SOMEBODY BOUGHT
A COUPLE BOXES OF CAKE MIX.
A NICE PIECE OF BIRTHDAY CAKE
AFTER A MEAL WITH MY FAMILY,
WOULDN'T REFUSE THAT.
SORAYA: ALL RIGHT, LOU, YOUR ORDER OF CUBES
IS READY OUT BACK.
I THOUGHT I ORDERED PELLETS.
SORAYA: OH, I FIGURED IT WAS A MISTAKE.
I MEAN, YOUR MOM NEVER CHEAPED OUT ON FEED.
BUT I CAN CHANGE IT IF YOU LIKE.
JUST TAKE THE CUBES, LOU.
SCOTT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK -
CUBES OR PELLETS?
I ALWAYS RECOMMEND THE CUBES.
I GOT SOME LITERATURE BACK IN THE CLINIC
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN VOLUNTARY FEED INTAKE
AND NUTRITION STATISTICS.
SOUNDS FASCINATING,
BUT I'M GONNA HAVE TO TAKE A RAIN CHECK.
I'LL JUST TAKE THE CUBES.
JACK: IT'S TOO BAD YOU MISSED SUPPER LAST NIGHT.
LOU OUTDID HERSELF.
HOW ABOUT TOMORROW? SHE'S GONNA MAKE A CAKE.
AND YOU COULD FINALLY MEET CARL.
TOMORROW?
I'M UP AT SHEEP RIVER.
I GOTTA DO ALL THIS VACCINATING AND...
I DON'T THINK I'LL BE HALF DONE BY DINNER.
TOO BAD ABOUT CARL THOUGH.
HOW LONG IS HE STAYING?
THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO WANT TO KNOW.
CARL: YEAH, THEY CALL IT BIG SKY COUNTRY.
I DON'T KNOW.
PROBABLY BECAUSE THERE'S NOT MUCH ELSE TO SEE UP HERE.
YES.
YES, I'M TALKING UP THE SITUATION WITH LOU.
IT'S JUST THAT I'VE GOT TO PROCEED
WITH A BIT OF CAUTION HERE.
IF SHE EVER FOUND OUT THAT I SET THE ENTIRE THING UP,
SHE'D FREAK.
(TELEPHONE BEEPS)
HELLO?
YEAH, JUST TRUST ME ON THIS ONE, PETE.
WHEN SHE GETS TO CHICAGO, SHE'S GONNA BE AMAZING.
YOU'RE GONNA OWE ME BIG TIME ON THIS.
YES. HELLO? (TELEPHONE BEEPS)
(ANNOYED SIGH)
HELLO?
(PHONE BEEPS) DAMN.
(RELIEVED SIGH) PHEW!
TALKING ON THE PHONE.
FOR A MINUTE THERE, I THOUGHT YOU WERE DELUSIONAL.
SPEAKING OF DELUSIONAL,
DO YOU KNOW THAT 99% OF ALL PEOPLE
WHO CLAIM THEY CAN RIDE A HORSE, CAN'T?
I'M PART OF THE 1% WHO CAN.
STILL, EVERYBODY CAN USE A REFRESHER COURSE.
LUCKILY, I'M A GOOD TEACHER,
AND AFFORDABLE.
$10 AN HOUR.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
YOU WANT TO MAKE SOME CASH?
WHY DON'T YOU RUN AND GET MY BATTERY CHARGER.
IT'S IN MY COMPUTER CASE.
WOW, A WHOLE DOLLAR.
WHATEVER YOU SAY...
DUDE.
(ANNOYED SIGH)
HOW LONG'S THAT GUY CARL STAYING?
DON'T WORRY, HE'LL BE OUTTA HERE
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.
WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE?
WELL, HE'S A JOB IN CHICAGO.
MALLORY: SO DOES LOU.
WHAT?
I HEARD HIM TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY OWE HIM
FOR SETTING THIS WHOLE THING UP.
IT'S PATHETIC WHAT PEOPLE WILL DO FOR MONEY.
MALLORY, WAIT. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M GOING TO GET CARL'S PHONE CHARGER.
HE'S PAYING ME A DOLLAR.
A WHOLE DOLLAR.
(BIRDS TWITTER OUTSIDE)
(FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS)
(DISTRESSED SIGH)
IT'S WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT!
AMY: WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?
MALLORY: CARL'S COMPUTER CASE.
YOU WERE SNOOPING?
YOU CAN THANK ME LATER.
YOU PUT THAT BACK RIGHT NOW.
FINE.
I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE YOU'D BE INTERESTED.
WAIT.
CAN I SEE IT?
(SIGHS)
WHAT'RE YOU DOING IN HERE?
STUFF.
WHAT KIND OF STUFF?
I'M RUNNING AN ERRAND FOR CARL.
I'M GETTING HIS BATTERY CHARGER.
HE'S PAYING ME.
TY: HOW MUCH?
A DOLLAR.
TY: HMM...
IT'S OUT OF MY PRICE RANGE.
TOO BAD.
I WAS GONNA ASK YOU TO HELP ME TURN OUT THE HORSES.
DOESN'T AMY USUALLY DO THAT?
YEAH, BUT I FIGURED YOU COULD HANDLE IT.
(SIGHS)
MALLORY: WAIT, TY, I'LL DO IT! IT WON'T EVEN COST YOU A CENT!
(WATER SLOSHES)
(DOOR SHUTS)
(WATER SLOSHES)
CARL: LOU, WHEN YOU LEFT THE FIRM TO GO RUN THE "FAMILY BUSINESS",
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT BAKING CAKES
WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE JOB DESCRIPTION.
I KNOW IT MIGHT SEEM OLD FASHIONED,
BUT IT'S A TRADITION IN OUR FAMILY.
GRAMPA DOESN'T LIKE A FUSS,
BUT HE DOES LIKE A PIECE OF CAKE ON HIS BIRTHDAY.
DOES HE LIKE IT RARE, MEDIUM OR WELL-DONE?
(GASPING) OH MY GOD!
OH! OW, OW, OW, OW!
(CLATTERING BANG)
(BIG SIGH)
(SIGHING) LUCKILY, I HAVE INSURANCE.
(CRICKETS CHIRP)
(BIRDS SING)
(FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS)
CARL: JACK.
CAN I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU,
MANO-O-MANO?
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, CARL?
THIS PLACE, HEARTLAND, IS ONE HELL OF A RANCH.
I CAN SEE IT MEANS THE WORLD TO YOU.
BUT I KNOW LOU. SHE'S...
SHE JUST DOESN'T BELONG HERE ANYMORE.
SHE'S GOT AN MBA, JACK.
IT DOESN'T TAKE AN MBA TO RUN A HORSE RANCH.
WELL, THEY DON'T RUN THEMSELVES, CARL.
CUT TO THE CHASE.
I APPRECIATE YOUR CANDOUR
AND YOUR FAMILY VALUES
AND THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CLING TO TRADITION,
WHICH IS WHY I THOUGHT IT BEST
THAT I SHOULD ASK YOU FIRST
FOR YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER'S HAND IN MARRIAGE.
WELL, LIKE YOU SAY, LOU'S A MODERN WOMAN,
AND SHE'LL MAKE UP HER OWN MIND
WHETHER SHE WANTS TO MARRY YOU OR NOT.
YEAH.
NO MATTER WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT.
I'D LOVE TO STAY AND HELP,
BUT I'VE GOT TO WORK WITH PIRATE.
LOU: HOW'S IT GOING WITH HIM?
AMY: GOOD. I'M BEGINNING TO FIGURE HIM OUT.
LOU: UH, GREAT.
SO, HEY, REMEMBER HOW YOU SAID
YOU'D TAKE CARL ON A TRAIL RIDE?
IT'D BE GOOD IF YOU COULD DO IT BEFORE HE LEFT.
WELL, YOU KNOW,
TRAIL RIDES CAN BE PRETTY ROMANTIC.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE HIM?
WHO'S GONNA MAKE THIS CAKE?
AMY: I'LL MAKE IT.
OKAY, SHUT UP.
I DON'T WANT HIM TO SEE I'M AFRAID OF HORSES.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
THERE AREN'T A LOT OF HORSES IN CHICAGO.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, AMY?
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
YOU DO LIKE HIM THOUGH?
LOU: OBVIOUSLY, I LIKE HIM.
HE'S A LOT OF FUN.
FUN? REALLY?
LOU: WE HAD A LOT OF FUN WORKING TOGETHER IN NEW YORK.
YOU KNOW? IT'S SOMETHING I MISS.
ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH HIM?
(SNORTS)
IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE, AMY.
YOU THINK IT IS, BUT IT'S NOT.
WHY? I MEAN EITHER YOU ARE OR YOU AREN'T.
THINGS WERE DIFFERENT IN NEW YORK.
IT WAS LIKE...
WE WERE BOTH...
IT WAS LIKE WE HAD THE SAME...
COULD YOU PLEASE JUST TAKE HIM ON A TRAIL RIDE, AMY?
HE'S ONLY HERE FOR A COUPLE MORE DAYS.
WOULD IT BE THAT HARD FOR YOU TO BE NICE TO HIM?
OKAY.
I SAW YOUR TRUCK PARKED OUT FRONT THERE.
SCOTT: WEDNESDAY - VEGETARIAN CHILI, I WOULDN'T MISS IT.
(GIGGLES) COFFEE?
OH NO, HONEY, I CAN'T STAY LONG.
LOU'S BEEN DOING SOME DELEGATING.
I GOT STUCK WITH THE SHOPPING.
SCOTT: I GUESS SHE'S BUSY.
HER BOYFRIEND FROM NEW YORK.
SCOTT: HOW LONG IS HE STAYING?
LONG ENOUGH.
SCOTT: SO MAYBE YOU CAN PASS THIS ON TO AMY,
SAVE ME THE TRIP?
JACK: (READING) "RED RODEO COWBOY GIRLS?"
SCOTT: I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THAT RESCUED HORSE.
PICKED UP A SADDLE TOO. IT'S BACK IN THE TRUCK.
WELL, I THINK THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING
THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE HER YOURSELF.
ANOTHER TIME, JACK.
DO YOU REMEMBER A COUPLA YEARS BACK,
WE WERE BRINGING CALVES TO BE DOCTORED
UP AT TRAVIS COOLEY'S PLACE THERE?
TRAVIS JUNIOR WAS CHASING THAT RUNAWAY.
HE BUILT HIS LOOP, TOSSED IT PERFECT,
THE CALF ZIGGED, HIS HORSE ZAGGED,
HIS ROPE SLIPS OFF.
JUNIOR, HE DOVE RIGHT OFF HIS HORSE,
GRABBED THAT CALF'S TAIL
(CHUCKLING) AND GOT DRAGGED ALL OVER HELL'S HALF-ACRE.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY...
DISLOCATED SHOULDER,
BROKEN NOSE, VARIOUS CUTS AND ABRASIONS.
YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT THERE, SCOTT.
I GOT THE POINT. HE NEVER GAVE UP.
DID I MENTION IT'S MY BIRTHDAY?
(LAUGHS)
JACK: AND HOW I'LL BE MIGHTY DISAPPOINTED
IF YOU'RE NOT SITTING AT THE TABLE,
EATING THAT CAKE THAT LOU HAS TRIED SO HARD TO BAKE?
(CHUCKLES)
YOU KNOW, THE COMMANDS ARE RIGHT OUT
OF AN OLD WESTERN.
GET-A-LONG, GIDDY-UP, WHOA.
SO HOW DOES HE GALLOP?
I HAVEN'T GOT THERE YET.
MAYBE I NEED TO WATCH A FEW COWBOY MOVIES.
I THINK I'M WATCHING ONE RIGHT NOW.
CHECK OUT THE DUDE.
MALLORY: THIS'LL BE FUN.
HOWDY THERE, PARTNER!
HOWDY.
SO...
WHICH ONE OF THESE HERE CRITTERS IS MINE?
(CHUCKLES) NOT SO FAST, CARL.
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU RIDE BEFORE
SO WE'RE JUST GONNA GO ON A WALKING TRAIL.
SINGLE FILE, YOU STAY BEHIND ME,
AND YOU NEED TO WEAR A HELMET.
NONE OF YOU GUYS ARE WEARING HELMETS SO...
HERE'S YOUR HELMET. THIS IS YOUR HORSE.
THIS IS MY HORSE?
OH, COME ON, GUYS.
I WAS KINDA HOPING TO HAVE SOMETHING
WITH A LITTLE MORE SPARK, YOU KNOW?
LIKE MAYBE THAT ONE.
PIRATE?
NO, DEFINITELY NOT FOR BEGINNERS.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL WEAR THE HELMET,
BUT I AM NOT GONNA RIDE THIS NAG.
COME ON, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU COULD SET A BOMB OFF
NEXT TO HIS HEAD,
HE WOULDN'T EVEN BLINK.
THIS ISN'T A DUDE RANCH, CARL.
I CAN'T RISK LETTING YOU GET UP ON A HORSE YOU CAN'T HANDLE.
I CAN HANDLE.
(TRUCK DOOR OPENS)
JACK: AMY!
COME HERE, I WANNA SHOW YOU SOMETHIN'.
(TRUCK DOOR SLAMS SHUT)
LOOK, EITHER YOU RIDE THIS HORSE
OR YOU DON'T RIDE AT ALL.
(COCKY) ALL RIGHT.
AMY: HEY, GRAMPA, CAN IT WAIT?
I GOTTA TAKE CARL ON A TRAIL RIDE.
YOU JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
(LOUD BANG)
WOW, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
SCOTT FOUND THAT AT A YARD SALE.
WELL, IT'S IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE,
BUT IT'S A TRICK RIDING SADDLE, GRAMPA.
I MEAN, WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH THAT?
THAT'S THE THING.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
IT'S PIRATE!
(CHUCKLING) YEAH.
WELL, THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
HE WAS A TRICK RIDING HORSE.
TY: HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
(HORSE SNUFFLES)
DON'T WORRY, THAT HORSE ISN'T GOIN' ANYWHERE.
YEE-HAW!
(HORSE WHINNIES)
AHHH! OH!
WHOA! WHOA!
YEE-HAW?
WHO KNEW?
(CLICKS TEETH) COME ON, LET'S GO!
(HORSE HOOVES GALLOPING)
CARL: (GASPING)
♪ It's a habit of the heart ♪
♪ And a cruel world that I live in ♪
♪ Blues in every corner of my mind ♪
CARL: AHHH! AHHH!
♪ You tore my world apart ♪
♪ But in the end you are forgiven... ♪
SEE?! I TOLD YOU I KNEW HOW TO RIDE!
WOO HOO! (LAUGHING)
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T SAY-
WHOA!
(HORSE WHINNIES)
WHOA!
(HUGE SPLASH)
ARE YOU OKAY?
UH, YEAH, NEVER BETTER.
(GRIMACING) WHY DO YOU ASK?
(WATER SLOSHES)
AHH...
IT'S UH... (SPLASH)
(GASPING)
COME ON, BUDDY.
WHAT'RE YOU DOING?
FALL OFF A HORSE, GOTTA GET RIGHT BACK ON, RIGHT?
OOPSY DAISY.
(HORSE WHINNIES)
AHHH! (WHIMPERS)
(BIG SPLASH)
(CHUCKLES)
WELL, HE REARS ON COMMAND TOO.
(EXHAUSTED SIGH)
I'VE GOT SOME ARNICA BACK AT THE BARN.
IT'S GOOD FOR SUPERFICIAL WOUNDS.
CARL: THANKS, I APPRECIATE THE OFFER.
I WAS KINDA HOPING TO SHOW YOUR SISTER
MY CUTS AND BRUISES.
(CHUCKLES)
I GUESS THAT'S A SIGN OF TRUE LOVE,
WHEN YOU'RE WILLING TO KILL YOURSELF
IN ORDER TO SCORE SOME POINTS.
TRUE LOVE?
WHAT ARE YOU, THE FAMILY ROMANTIC?
NO, I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHY YOU AND LOU HOOKED UP.
ARE YOU KIDDING?
WE MAKE A GREAT TEAM.
YEAH, I CAN SORTA SEE IT.
I MEAN, LOU'S PRETTY PUSHY
WHEN IT COMES TO THE BUSINESS END OF THINGS.
YOU SAY PUSHY, I SAY SHE'S DRIVEN.
SHE'S ENERGETIC.
SHE'S FOCUSED.
I MEAN, COME ON, AMY.
FILLING OUT FEED ORDERS AND MAKING SCHEDULES
THAT NOBODY PAYS ATTENTION TO...
BAKING CAKES?
A TRAINED MONKEY COULD DO ALL THAT.
MEANWHILE, LOU'S CAREER IS ON HOLD INDEFINITELY.
(GROANS IN PAIN)
SO, IS THAT WHY YOU'RE HERE?
TO TAKE LOU AWAY FROM ALL THIS?
SERIOUSLY, AMY,
DON'T YOU WANT YOUR SISTER TO BE HAPPY?
YEAH.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.
(DOOR SQUEAKS OPEN)
(DOOR SNAPS SHUT)
SCOTT, YOU'VE GOTTA HELP ME WITH THIS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MY MOM DID IT.
YOUR MOM HAD A TRICK, LOU.
EVERYBODY LOVED HER ICING.
AND HERE'S WHY.
MY MOTHER USED ICING FROM A CAN?
THAT IS GENIUS!
(CHUCKLING)
IF ONLY THE REST OF LIFE WAS THIS SIMPLE.
YOU KNOW, LOU,
JACK INVITED ME HERE FOR HIS BIRTHDAY DINNER,
BUT REALLY I CAME HERE TO TALK TO YOU.
UH OH.
LAST TIME YOU WANTED TO TALK TO ME,
I ENDED UP GETTING DRUNK AND SINGING KARAOKE.
(CHUCKLES) AND CRYING.
SO... HOW LONG IS IT GONNA TAKE
FOR YOU TO GET TO THE POINT THIS TIME?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
OH, COME ON.
YOU BEAT AROUND THE BUSH FOR WEEKS
BEFORE YOU FINALLY TOLD ME
YOU WERE TAKING OFF TO VET SCHOOL.
AND WHAT ABOUT YOU?
YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME
YOU WERE PLANNING TO MOVE TO NEW YORK.
THAT WAS DIFFERENT.
I KNEW YOU WOULD TRY TO TALK ME OUT OF IT
SO I COULDN'T TELL YOU.
WELL, THAT'S SORT OF WHERE I'M AT NOW.
(DOOR SQUEAKS OPEN)
(DOOR SNAPS SHUT)
LOU: OH MY GOD, CARL!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I NEED UM...
MEDICAL ATTENTION, HONEY,
LOTS OF MEDICAL ATTENTION.
LOU: WHAT HAPPENED?
CARL: LET'S JUST SAY THAT UM...
I'M THINKING OF GIVING UP INVESTMENT BANKING
AND JOINING THE RODEO.
YOU GOT THROWN?
TWICE.
(GROANS)
I SHOULD'VE LEFT WELL ENOUGH ALONE AFTER THE FIRST TIME,
BUT I GOT BACK UP.
AND ALL I SAID WAS THE MAGIC WORD
AND VOILA,
HE BEHAVES LIKE A CIRCUS HORSE.
YOU RODE PIRATE?
IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING, YES.
HE'S A TRICK HORSE.
HE USED TO RIDE WITH THE RED RODEO COWBOY GIRLS.
A TRICK HORSE?
GET ALONG.
(CHUCKLES)
GIDDY-UP.
(HORSE HOOVES CANTERING)
(HORSE SNUFFLES)
LOU: AMY!
AMY: (GRUNTS)
LOU: YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE CARL,
BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TRY TO KILL HIM!
I WARNED HIM NOT TO RIDE PIRATE.
I TRIED TO STOP HIM!
WELL, MAYBE YOU DIDN'T TRY VERY HARD.
AMY: HE WOULDN'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.
IF YOU THINK I DELIBERATELY TRIED TO PUT A RIDER IN DANGER-
WELL, WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO THINK?
YOU KNOW WHAT?
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT JOB IN CHICAGO.
THERE IS NO JOB IN CHICAGO.
AMY: OH YEAH? WHY DON'T YOU ASK CARL?
HE'S THE ONE WHO ARRANGED IT FOR YOU.
YOU DON'T KNOW EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, AMY!
(TRUCK DOOR OPENS)
SCOTT!
LEAVING SO SOON?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE STAYING FOR DINNER.
(FOOTSTEPS SCUFF ACROSS GRAVEL)
UH...
NEVER MIND.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACK.
APPRECIATE IT.
KINDA WISH I WAS GOING WITH YA.
(STARTS TRUCK UP)
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME...
LOU: GRAMPA, WAIT, THERE'S DESSERT.
REALLY?
MALLORY: I'LL GET IT.
(FORK DINGS ON GLASS)
EXCUSE ME, PEOPLE.
I'D JUST LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO SAY A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT A VERY SPECIAL PERSON.
IN THE DAYS SINCE YOU HAVE WELCOMED ME INTO YOUR HOME,
THANK YOU FOR THAT,
I HAVE COME TO APPRECIATE
JUST WHAT GOES INTO RUNNING A RANCH LIKE THIS
AND HOW IT'S ALL ABOUT FAMILY.
I THOUGHT I SAID NO FUSS.
CARL: NEEDLESS TO SAY, YOU ALL-
AND THIS WAS THE FARTHEST THING FROM MY MIND
WHEN I FIRST MET LOU
AT THE STRICKLAND & COOK LUNCH ROOM,
AND I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT I HAD TO GET TO KNOW
THIS TOTALLY HOT,
AND FUNNY AND INTELLIGENT
AND... SPUNKY
AND FORTHRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN.
AND DID I MENTION HOT?
(EMBARRASSED LAUGH) PLEASE, CARL,
SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
SAMANTHA LOUISE...
WILL YOU MARRY ME?
UH, CARL...
MALLORY: HAPPY...
OH MY GOD!
(RESOUNDING SPLAT)
AMY: MALLORY!
YOU PUT IT BACK LIKE I TOLD YOU,
DIDN'T YOU?
I MEANT TO PUT IT BACK, I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK,
BUT I COULDN'T PUT IT BACK.
THEN I FORGOT TO PUT IT BACK.
WHERE IS IT NOW?!
I DON'T KNOW!
THINK! WHERE WAS THE LAST PLACE YOU HAD IT?
IN MY RIDING PANTS POCKET.
AND WHERE ARE THE PANTS?
AT HOME...
IN THE LAUNDRY!
(DOG BARKS)
(EXASPERATED SIGH)
CARL: I NEVER TOOK IT OUT OF THE BOX.
LOU: WELL, IT'S GOTTA BE HERE SOMEWHERE, CARL.
CARL: ALWAYS THE OPTIMIST.
WELL, IT DIDN'T JUST WALK OUT OF HERE.
CARL: NO, AT LEAST NOT UNDER ITS OWN STEAM.
HEY, THAT'S MY STUFF!
YEAH, SO YOU SAY.
OH, I GET WHERE THIS IS GOING.
(DRAWER BANGS)
I DIDN'T TAKE YOUR LOUSY RING!
NO ONE IS ACCUSING YOU OF ANYTHING, TY.
YEAH, RIGHT.
(FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS)
MALLORY: I'M REALLY, REALLY SORRY.
WELL, THE IMPORTANT THING IS YOU BROUGHT IT BACK.
IT WENT THROUGH THE WASHER,
BUT I THINK IT'S STILL OKAY.
NO HARM DONE.
IT'S A REALLY NICE RING.
I MEAN, MY DAD GAVE MY MOM A SEMI-PRECIOUS STONE.
IT WAS ACTUALLY A MOOD RING, BUT...
THEY STILL GOT MARRIED!
EVEN THOUGH IT STAYED BLACK FOR THE ENTIRE ENGAGEMENT.
YOU CAN GO NOW, MALLORY.
BOTH: (CHUCKLING)
CARL: WELL, UH, SO MUCH FOR THE SURPRISE FACTOR, BUT...
SINCE PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT...
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
LOU FLEMING, WILL YOU MARRY ME?
OH MY GOD, CARL, IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
JUST LIKE YOU.
(EMOTIONAL BREATH)
WOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
YES.
I KNOW, YOU ARE OVERWHELMED.
BUT TRUST ME, LOU,
THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING.
WE CAN BE IN CHICAGO BY TOMORROW NIGHT AND-
TOMORROW? THAT'S SO FAST.
YEAH, BUT YOU GOTTA HAVE ENOUGH TIME
TO PREPARE FOR YOUR INTERVIEW
ON THURSDAY, RIGHT?
THURSDAY?
HOW DID YOU KNOW THEY WANT TO INTERVIEW ME
ON THURSDAY?
YOU MUST'VE TOLD ME.
I NEVER TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT, CARL.
YEAH, SURE YOU DID, YOU JUST FORGOT.
WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN GOING ON,
IT'S NATURAL.
YOU ARRANGED THIS WHOLE THING, DIDN'T YOU?
(RESIGNED EXHALE)
SO WHAT?
I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME.
THE PEOPLE IN CHICAGO, THEY WANT YOU TO COME.
IT'S A FAMILY FIRM, LOU.
THEY EXPECT ME TO HAVE A FAMILY.
LOU: (INCREDULOUS GASP)
CARL: BECAUSE I TOLD THEM I WAS GETTING MARRIED!
(FRUSTRATED GROAN)
(DOOR OPENS)
(SCREEN DOOR SQUEAKS OPEN)
BOY, I'D SURE HATE TO READ MY PERFORMANCE REVIEW
AFTER THAT ONE.
"ABILITY TO PROPOSE MARRIAGE: ZERO OUT OF A POSSIBLE TEN."
BUT I SWEAR TO YOU, LOU...
IT'S NOT ABOUT A JOB.
I LOVE YOU.
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
AND...
I WANT YOU TO MARRY ME BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
COME ON, LOU, SAY SOMETHING.
I CAN'T GET THIS DAMN THING OFF MY FINGER.
(EMOTIONAL EXHALE)
(TEARFUL SNIFF)
(SNIFFLING)
(CRYING)
UM...
(TEARFUL SNIFF)
(GASPS)
(SCREEN DOOR SQUEAKS OPEN)
(DOG BARKS)
(HORSE WHINNIES)
(DOG BARKS)
(EXHALES)
YOU KNOW YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR MIND, LOU,
KEEP YOUR OPTIONS OPEN.
I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND.
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
CHICAGO.
TAKE THE CALL, CARL.
(BEEPING PHONE ON)
HOWDY, PARTNER.
YES, I'M STILL IN BIG SKY COUNTRY,
HEADING BACK TO CIVILIZATION AS WE SPEAK.
(SUV DOOR SHUTS AND STARTS UP)
(SUB RUMBLES AWAY)
HE LOOKS GOOD.
(SUV RUMBLES AWAY)
THERE HE GOES.
THE DUDE.
BOTH: (LAUGHING)
(TIRES CRUNCHING)
(SUV ROARS BY)
WELL, LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, LOU.
HE DIDN'T OVERSTAY HIS WELCOME.
(SNORTS)
AT LEAST NOW EVERYONE CAN STOP ASKING ME
HOW LONG HE'S STAYING.
NO REGRETS, THEN?
(TRUCK RUMBLES UP)
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)
(HEAVY SIGH)
I THOUGHT I SAW CARL ON THE ROAD BACK THERE,
HEADING OUT.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I GUESS I FEEL KIND OF BAD
ABOUT HOW THINGS TURNED OUT.
YEAH, ME TOO.
(CHUCKLING) YEAH, RIGHT.
(LAUGHING)
GET ALONG.
(KNIFE SCRAPES)
(SCREEN DOOR SQUEAKS OPEN AND SNAPS SHUT)
THAT'S A NICE JOB YOU DID WITH THE ICING, LOU.
IT'S MY MOM'S RECIPE.
