AMY: PREVIOUSLY ON "HEARTLAND":
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO WITH SPARTAN?
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT IS MYSELF YET,
I'M JUST TRYING SOMETHING OUT.
VERY MYSTERIOUS.
DID YOU JUST JUMP SHIP,
OR DO YOU ALWAYS COME TO THE BAR IN A SWIMSUIT?
IF THIS WERE 1998, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE.
HOW OLD ARE YOU, ANYWAY?
OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW
I SHOULD NOT BE WASTING MY TIME WITH GUYS LIKE YOU!
WHOA! OOF!
JACK: CALEB?
CALEB: JACK? COME HERE, BUDDY!
I WANT YOU TO MEET A REAL GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.
(RETCHING SOUNDS)
SURF'S UP!
TIM: (WHISTLING) HEY COW!
(COWS MOO)
JACK AND TIM: HOOO!
(TIM WHISTLES)
TIM: COME ON, COW!
HEY, LET'S CALL IT A DAY, HUH?
WHAT?
LET'S CALL IT A DAY!
WELL, LET'S FINISH THE JOB FIRST.
OKAY, FINE. BUT I'M TELLING YOU,
I'M SORE AND I'M TIRED, AND MY SHOULDER IS KILLIN' ME!
DON'T MAKE ME CRY!
TWO DAYS IN THE SADDLE...
IS NOT DOING MUCH FOR MY BACK, I'LL TELL YOU THAT.
WE SHOULD'VE HIRED SOME GUYS TO HELP US MOVE THESE COWS.
OH, QUIT COMPLAINING!
YOU SOUND LIKE AN OLD GEEZER.
TIM: HA-HA! GEEZER!
I'M NOT THE ONE
WITH THE BIG BIRTHDAY COMING UP, JACK.
IF YOU'RE GONNA WHINE ABOUT EVERY LITTLE ACHE AND PAIN,
GOD HELP US ALL WHEN YOU ARE MY AGE!
OH PLEASE!
YOU WON'T BE AROUND TO SEE THAT.
YOU'LL BE TAKING A DIRT NAP BY THEN.
WELL, THANKFULLY, THAT'S TRUE.
I WON'T BE AROUND TO HEAR ALL YOUR MOANING AND GROANING!

TY: HEY, HEY!
AMY: HEY!
THANKS FOR COMING OUT.
YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE COMING OVER LAST NIGHT.
AND...THE NIGHT BEFORE,
AND THE NIGHT BEFORE THAT.
OKAY, OKAY.
I FELL ASLEEP.
YOU FELL ASLEEP?
WELL, I WAS WORKING LATE WITH SCOTT.
I WAS EXHAUSTED. I'M SORRY.
HOW ABOUT TONIGHT?
YEAH, I COULD COME FOR DINNER.
THAT'D BE GREAT,
I'M TIRED OF MY OWN COOKING.
IT'D BE GOOD TO CATCH UP WITH JACK, TOO.
OH... JUST JACK?
NO, NOT JUST JACK.
(BOTH LAUGH)
OH! UM, I'M SORRY.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
HELLO?
YEP, OF COURSE.
NO, NOW-NOW'S FINE. I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
OKAY, SEE YA SOON.
I HAVE A CLIENT AT THE HOUSE.
SORRY, CAN I...
IT'S OKAY. I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT!
OKAY? OKAY.
ALL RIGHT!
COME ON, SPARTAN, LET'S GO.
(SPARTAN SNORTS)

(DINERS CHATTER)
MALLORY: HELLO! IS THERE NO SUCH THING AS SERVICE?
UH, SORRY!
I WAS JUST DOWNLOADING.
WHAT CAN I GET FOR YOU?
CAN I HAVE A CHEESEBURGER WITH TOMATO,
RELISH AND MUSTARD, BUT NO ONIONS OR DILL.
DONE.
SO, YOU'RE NEW?
YEAH, I, UM, JUST STARTED.
IT'S, UH, AUSTIN MARS.
MALLORY WELLS.
WELLS...
YOUR DAD ISN'T CHARLIE WELLS, IS HE?
UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S A BURDEN I MUST BEAR.
NO WAY!
I LOVE YOUR DAD'S MUSIC, I'M A HUGE FAN!
I WON'T HOLD IT AGAINST YOU.
(LAUGHS)
SO, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING HERE?
AUSTIN: UH, JUST TWO DAYS.
BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT I'M ACTUALLY GONNA LAST.
I FEEL YOUR PAIN.
I'M AN EX-MAGGIE'S EMPLOYEE MYSELF.
LET'S JUST SAY MY LAST DAY OF EMPLOYMENT
INVOLVED THREE EXTREMELY HOT ORDERS OF MAC AND CHEESE
THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ENDED UP IN A CUSTOMER'S LAP.
YOU'RE THE ONE!
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A LEGEND HERE, RIGHT?
MAN: EXCUSE ME!
RIGHT! I'LL SEE YA AROUND.

JACK: THAT WAS QUITE THE RIDE!
AMY: YOU'RE IN A GOOD MOOD,
CONSIDERING I JUST BEAT YOU BY A MILE!
JACK: OH, AND CONSIDERING I JUST HAD TO LISTEN TO YOUR FATHER
WHINE AND COMPLAIN ALL DAY.
ABOUT HIS SHOULDER? OH, HIS SHOULDER,
HIS KNEE, HIS... YOU NAME IT!
(LAUGHS)
SO THIS BIRTHDAY...
HUH? WHAT DO YOU WANT?
WHAT I DON'T WANT IS A BIG FUSS,
AND MAKE SURE YOU TELL THAT TO YOUR SISTER.
WHAT, YOU'RE NOT DREADING THIS ONE, ARE YOU?
NOPE, NOPE.
IT'S NOT HOW OLD YOU ARE, IT'S HOW OLD YOU FEEL,
AND I FEEL PRETTY DAMN GOOD.
I CAN STILL OUTRIDE YOUR DAD, I JUST LEFT HIM IN MY DUST.
(LAUGHS) YEAH, I KNOW THAT FEELING.
VERY FUNNY.
(TRUCK DOOR SLAMS)
AMY?
KELLY JAMES. HI, KELLY.
MR. BARTLETT, RIGHT?
LAST TIME WE MET
WAS UNDER LESS THAN STELLAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
YES, YOUR FRIEND WAS...
A LITTLE INDISPOSED, AS I RECALL.
YEP, HE WAS A LITTLE UNDER THE WEATHER.
JACK: EVEN MORE UNDER THE WEATHER NEXT DAY
WHEN I MADE HIM WORK A DOUBLE SHIFT.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO.
SO I WANT YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT CLOVER.
YEAH, OF COURSE.
OKAY. SEE YOU LATER, MR. BARTLETT.
JACK: YOU BET.
MALLORY: ASIDE FROM HIS QUESTIONABLE TASTE IN MUSIC,
THIS AUSTIN GUY IS ACTUALLY PRETTY CUTE.
ALMOST MAKES ME WANNA WORK AT MAGGIE'S AGAIN.
NO WAY, I NEED YOU HERE TO HELP ME WITH THE BABY.
NICE TO FEEL APPRECIATED. WHO KNEW?
(SIGHS)
YOU STILL THINKING ABOUT BUILDING ON THE DUDE RANCH?
YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?
PETER IS, I'M NOT.
AND HE'S STILL PLANNING ON BUILDING IT HIMSELF?
THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS.
NOT GOOD.
YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT GETTING A DIVORCE LAWYER
INSTEAD OF AN ARCHITECT.
WHAT?
MY PARENTS ALMOST KILLED EACH OTHER
WHEN THEY REDID OUR KITCHEN.
RENOVATIONS AND WRECKED MARRIAGES
GO HAND IN HAND, TRUST ME.
THANKS, MALLORY.
I'M JUST SAYING!
WELL, DON'T.
(DOOR SLAMS)
LOU: OH, HI GRANDPA!
HOW IS YOUR DAY GOING?
OH, COULDN'T BE BETTER.
NOTHING LIKE AN EARLY RIDE TO GET THE BLOOD RUNNING.
LOU: GREAT.
NOW, UM, LISA AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING.
OH, THAT IS NEVER GOOD.
LOU: NO, LISTEN.
WE WERE THINKING WE WOULD DO SOMETHING A LITTLE SPECIAL
FOR THIS BIRTHDAY OF YOURS.
DON'T WANT ANYTHING SPECIAL.
COME ON, HEAR ME OUT.
WE JUST WANNA GET EVERYONE TOGETHER.
LOU!
OH...
WHAT?
GEORGE TUTTLE.
GEORGE WHO?
GEORGE TUTTLE.
HE PLAYED DRUMS IN A PICKUP BAND I HAD
BACK IN MY RODEO DAYS, AND...
WHAT?
IT'S AN OBITUARY, HE DIED.
HE'S...
HE DIED.

I'LL SHOW YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA GET KICKED!
GET BACK! HOO! HOO! HOO!

CALEB: WHOA... EASY, EASY.
WHOA. EASY, BOY.
YOU OKAY? YEAH, I'M FINE.
NOT YOU!
YEAH, I'M GOOD.
HI. HAVE WE MET BEFORE?
WHERE'S YOUR SNORKEL, SURFER DUDE?
(CALEB SIGHS)
THE GENTS? YOU WERE CALLED THE GENTS?
YEP, THAT'S GEORGE RIGHT THERE. HE'S THE DRUMMER.
THE DRUMMERS ALWAYS DIE FIRST.
THEY DO!
JOHN RUTSEY FROM RUSH,
KEITH MOON,
JOHN BONHAM FROM LED ZEPPELIN.
MY DAD SWEARS BY IT.
FINE. GOOD.
ANYWAY, THAT'S DOUG WALTERS.
EVERYONE CALLED HIM DOGFACE, AND I DON'T KNOW THE REASON,
'CAUSE HE'S A PRETTY GOOD LOOKING GUY.
BOBBY MORROW, TERRIFIC HARMONICA.
THAT'S, UH, ELI STARK.
HE WAS A DECENT BASS PLAYER IF HE WASN'T DRUNK,
OR PUNCHING SOMEBODY.
CHARMING.
YOU ALL LOOK SO YOUNG AND GOOFY.
WELL, I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO FIGHT THE GIRLS OFF -
EVEN GEORGE,
WHO WAS TERRIFIED OF THE OPPOSITE SEX,
UNLESS IT WAS A HORSE.
(LAUGHS)
JACK: THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN AT THE LAST GIG WE EVER PLAYED.
WE MADE A PACT WE'D GET TOGETHER SOMEDAY
AND HAVE A REUNION, YOU KNOW,
AND PLAY ONE MORE SET.
IT NEVER HAPPENED, THOUGH.
I GUESS IT NEVER WILL NOW.
OH YEAH, AMY, THIS GUY'S A REAL DREAM DATE.
(SCOFFS) OKAY, IT WASN'T A DATE.
HE COULD BARELY EVEN STAGGER OUT OF THE BAR.
LIES... ALL LIES.
NOT TO MENTION THAT FANTASTIC NOSEDIVE
YOU TOOK INTO THE BARN STALL
RIGHT BEFORE YOU THREW UP AND PASSED OUT.
THAT WAS REAL CLASSY. OKAY, UH, CAN WE, UH...
CAN WE PLEASE CH-CHANGE THE SUBJECT?
I-I GOT A QUESTION, UM...
HOW'D YOU MANAGE TO STAY UP ON THIS GUY?
I'VE LEARNED. I MEAN, HE SETTLES EVENTUALLY,
AND I GET A GOOD RIDE OUT OF HIM,
BUT IT'S A PAIN IN THE ASS, LITERALLY.
SO I'VE GOTTA GET HIM CALMED DOWN.
WELL, I'LL TRY A FEW THINGS,
BUT HAVE YOU HAD HIM VETTED?
YEAH, HE'S TOTALLY FIT.
NO PROBLEMS WITH THE SADDLE, OR HIS TACK, OR ANYTHING.
CHASE TRIED. HE SWORE HE COULD FIX HIM,
BUT YOU KNOW CHASE.
(SNORTS) YEAH.
CHASE POWERS.
LIKE HE COULD DO ANYTHING WITH THIS HORSE.
AND ARE YOU SAYING YOU CAN?
OH YES I AM!
REALLY?
THAT'S WHAT I DO; I RIDE BRONCS.
THAT'S THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF GENTLING THEM, RIGHT?
ALL I'M SAYING IS, IF YOU NEED SOMEONE
TO TAKE THE BUCK OUT OF THIS HORSE,
I'M YOUR MAN.
OKAY, YOU TWO FIGHT OVER IT.
MY MONEY'S ON THIS GIRL, THOUGH.
SEE YA, AMY. SEE YA.
WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU TWO HAD A PRETTY INTERESTING FIRST DATE.
IT WASN'T A DATE.
SHE GOT ME DRUNK AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME.
OH, AND I BET YOU HATED THAT.
SO MUCH.
YOU KNOW WHAT? SHE'S MY CLIENT,
SO I'M GONNA GENTLE HER HORSE...
MY WAY.
(TRUCK ENGINE REVS AND RUMBLES AWAY)
LOU: SO I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE.
LISA AND I HAVE A PLAN.
LISA: WE WOULD LIKE TO THROW YOU A LITTLE BIRTHDAY PARTY.
THIS WEEKEND.
MM-HMM.
WELL, I THINK I TOLD YOU, LOU, I'M NOT INTERESTED.
AND IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, SO I GUESS I HAVE A SAY.
JUST SAY YES!
COME ON, IT'S GONNA BE FUN.
FUN...
WELL, I'M NOT IN ANY MOOD TO DISCUSS A BIRTHDAY;
I HAVE A FUNERAL TO GO TO TOMORROW.
(BIRDS CHIRP)
AMY: I'M A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT GRANDPA.
YEAH, I GUESS IT'D BE A SHOCK,
LOSING ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS FROM THE OLD DAYS.
(TRUCK DOOR SLAMS)
NOT SO GREAT RIGHT BEFORE YOUR BIRTHDAY, HUH?
YOU KNOW, I THINK LOU SHOULD BACK OFF A BIT.
SHE WON'T.
AND TEAMED WITH LISA, HE DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE.
SO WHO WAS YOUR NEW CLIENT?
OH, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT GIRL
FROM CALEB'S LUAU NIGHT DISASTER?
THE ONE THAT HE SAID WAS SUPER MEAN?
(LAUGHS) YEAH! THAT'S THE ONE.
REALLY? SHE IS SUPER MEAN?
NO! SHE'S NOT, SHE'S...
SHE'S REALLY NICE.
SHE'S ONE OF THOSE GIRLS, YOU KNOW?
NO. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
JUST ONE OF THOSE GIRLS WHO CAN...
WRAP GUYS AROUND HER LITTLE FINGER.
(BOTH LAUGH)
AM I ONE OF THOSE GIRLS?
I KNOW, I KNOW.
I JUST WISH I WAS MORE...
UNPREDICTABLE AND FASCINATING,
SARCASTIC...
EVEN A LITTLE BIT MEAN.
YEAH.
I BET I'D SEE MORE OF YOU IF I WAS FASCINATING.
I THINK YOU'RE NUTS.

DO YOU WANNA GO TO YOUR GRANDPA?
(CATHERINE COOS)
YOU, YOU'RE THE GRANDPA, RIGHT? REMEMBER?

YEAH... YEAH, TH-THAT'S A SHAME.
IT'S A- IT'S A REAL SHAME.
YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE ME, DO YOU?
ELI STARK.
WELL, OF COURSE I RECOGNIZE YOU!
I JUST NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE YOU HERE, THOUGH.
WHY WOULDN'T I BE HERE?
WELL, 'CAUSE YOU AND GEORGE...
WHAT ABOUT ME AND GEORGE?
(DEFENSIVE) WELL, IT'S NO SECRET
YOU WERE ON THE OUTS FOR YEARS.
OH, HELL!
I'VE BEEN ON THE OUTS WITH EVERYBODY FOR YEARS.
OKAY.
BUT I'VE BEEN DOING SOME BACKTRACKING.
NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND FENCES, RIGHT?
SO I... I LOOKED UP OLD GEORGE.
REALLY?
YEAH.
WE SPENT A COUPLE OF DAYS TOGETHER,
DRANK SOME BEERS, TOLD SOME LIES,
AND TALKED ABOUT OLD TIMES.
YOU KNOW, STUFF LIKE THAT.
AND THEN I'LL BE DAMNED IF THE SON OF A GUN
DIDN'T UP AND DROP DEAD RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!
I'M TELLIN' YOU, JACK, I...
I THINK I MIGHT BE CURSED.
EVERY TIME I SHOW UP ON THE SCENE,
SOMEBODY DIES.
REMIND ME NEVER TO INVITE YOU TO MY HOUSE.
WELL, IT'S A FUNNY THING
YOU SHOULD MENTION THAT, JACK.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU, COME IN THE HOUSE!
I'VE HAD THE BEST IDEA!
(AMY SIGHS)
AND GET THEM TOGETHER FOR GRANDPA'S BIRTHDAY?
YES, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO!
I THINK IT'S A FABULOUS IDEA!
MALLORY: SO DO I.
JACK'S NO SPRING CHICKEN, AMY.
THE GUY WHO DIED WAS YOUNGER THAN HE IS.
WHOA! CAN WE ALL JUST STOP?
OKAY, WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR A DEBATE.
IF WE WANNA HAVE THE PARTY THIS WEEKEND,
WE NEED TO START PLANNING. WE DO.
HE DOESN'T LIKE A FUSS! YOU KNOW THAT, LOU!
IT'S A BAD IDEA!
AMY, THEY MADE A PACT.
THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET THE BAND TOGETHER
ONE MORE TIME
AND WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN
BEFORE... IT'S TOO LATE.
(SIGHS) OKAY. WELL, OBVIOUSLY, YOU'VE ALREADY DECIDED.
AMY, COME ON, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
I MEAN, BE SPONTANEOUS!
DON'T YOU HAVE ANY SENSE OF ADVENTURE?
YOU HAVE TO GRAB LIFE BY THE HORNS AND LIVE IT,
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
(CATHERINE CRIES) OH! THAT'S ME.
LOU'S RIGHT.
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE, YOU HAVE TO JUST DO IT!
SO CHILL WHY DON'T YOU?
IT'S JUST A PARTY.
(SCOFFS)
AMY: GRANDPA'S JUST GONNA HATE THIS.
TY: WELL, MAYBE.
MAYBE? LIKE YOU THINK I'M WRONG, OR...?
TY: NO, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'D BE GOOD FOR HIM
TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH OLD FRIENDS, AND...
(CLOVER WHINNIES) KELLY: EASY!
WHOA!
(KELLY GRUNTS WITH EFFORT)
AGGHHHHH!
HEY, HOLD ON!
SHE'S AWESOME!
(KELLY GRUNTS AND GROANS IN FRUSTRATION)
KELLY: COME ON!
TY: HEY, CALEB, YOU GOT YOURSELF SOME COMPETITION HERE!
GOOD FOR YOU!
WOO!
YEAH, YEAH, GOOD FOR ME.
NOT GOOD FOR MY BUTT.
I KNOW I HAVEN'T MADE MUCH PROGRESS,
BUT I'M GONNA NEED A FEW DAYS BEFORE YOU'LL SEE A DIFFERENCE.
I SWEAR YOU COULD LAST THE WHOLE EIGHT SECONDS!
YOU COULD BE A PRO.
YEAH, YOU'RE FULL OF IT.
NO, I'M SERIOUS, THERE'S NOT TOO MANY GIRLS
WHO CAN RIDE BRONCS.
YEAH, 'CAUSE GIRLS AREN'T INSANE!
YOU ON THE CIRCUIT, YOU COULD WIN BIG!
IT'D BE CRAZY, RIGHT, TY? PRETTY AWESOME.
I CAN TEACH YOU.
I THINK THERE'S NOT MUCH THAT YOU COULD TEACH ME.
HERE. I GOTTA GO.
(CHUCKLES)
SHE'S TROUBLE.
YES, SHE IS.
AMY: DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT I'M NOT SPONTANEOUS?
WELL, YOU'RE A LOT MORE SERIOUS THAN I WAS AT YOUR AGE.
MAYBE I DO WORRY TOO MUCH.
I JUST... I DON'T KNOW,
MAYBE GRANDPA WILL LIKE THIS PARTY.
IN OTHER WORDS, MAYBE I'M RIGHT?
I DIDN'T GO THAT FAR.
I JUST WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY!
SO DO I,
AND I THINK ONE WAY FOR HIM TO BE HAPPY
IS GOING TO BE TO BRING HIS FRIENDS TOGETHER -
OLD AND NEW.
I GUESS.
(DOOR SLAMS)
UH, AMY, AND LOU.
ELI STARK.
(SIGHS)
CAN I SEE THAT?
YEAH, SURE.
I REALLY WANNA GET ONE OF THESE.
THEY ARE PRETTY COOL.
SO HOW DO YOU PUT A NUMBER IN HERE?
EASY, JUST HERE.
UM... THIS IS MY CELL,
JUST IN CASE YOU WANT ADVICE ON HOW TO GET FIRED.
IT'S MUCH COOLER THAN QUITTING.
(DINERS CHATTER)
JACK: WELL, I'D LIKE TO RAISE A GLASS TO GEORGE TUTTLE.
HE WAS AN EXCELLENT BRONC RIDER,
AND A PASSABLE DRUMMER,
BUT, UH, HE WENT BEFORE HIS TIME.
ELI: WELL, WHEN YOUR TIME COMES, YOUR TIME COMES.
TO GEORGE.
LOU: TO GEORGE.
(GLASSES CLINK)
AH!
(CHUCKLES)
OH, SORRY,
YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE MY BAD TABLE MANNERS.
I'M NOT A VERY SOCIABLE GUY,
LIKE JACK HERE.
OF COURSE, HE WASN'T ALWAYS THIS TAME.
I COULD TELL YOU SOME STORIES
THAT WOULD CURL YOUR HAIR.
ONE NIGHT IN GRAND PRAIRIE, IN PARTICULAR.
OH NO.
I'D LIKE TO HEAR THAT STORY.
WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW, ELI?
I GOT A SMALL RANCH UP NEAR JASPER,
GOD'S COUNTRY.
I LIVE ALONE.
CLARA PASSED ON SOME TEN YEARS AGO NOW.
I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
WELL, I DON'T THINK YOU EVER MET HER.
SHE WAS MY FOURTH WIFE.
BUT I CAN CERTAINLY SEE WHAT'S KEEPIN' JACK SO YOUNG,
EVEN AT HIS ADVANCED AGE.
JACK: ADVANCED AGE!
LISA: SO WHAT MADE YOU WANNA LOOK UP ALL YOUR OLD, OLD FRIENDS?
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, YOUNG LADY.
MORE WINE?
THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL IDEA!
LOU, I'M SORRY...
ABOUT SPRINGING THIS GUY ON YOU.
HE ATTACHED HIMSELF TO ME LIKE A BURR,
SAID HEARTLAND WAS ON HIS WAY BACK HOME,
THAT HE WANTED TO CATCH UP.
I MEAN, WHAT COULD I DO?
GRANDPA, IT'S FINE!
I MEAN, ISN'T IT NICE TO SEE AN OLD FRIEND?
OLD FRIENDS ARE GOOD, RIGHT?
OH YEAH, JACK.
AT YOUR AGE, YOU'RE LUCKY TO HAVE ANY FRIENDS LEFT.
(CHUCKLES)
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT,
THIS PARTY'S PROBABLY A REALLY GOOD IDEA, RIGHT?
BEFORE THE SANDS OF TIME...
DRIFT THROUGH THE HOURGLASS.
THERE'S NOT GONNA BE A PARTY.
GOOD ONE, DAD!
WHAT?
ELI IS HERE. I MEAN, HOW PERFECT IS THAT?
IT'S A SIGN!
A SIGN?
LOU: YES, A SIGN THAT I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO DO THIS NOW!
I HAVE TO GET THE REST OF THE GROUP TOGETHER!
HERE WE ARE.
ELI: WHOA!
WELL, I CAN'T SLEEP IN HERE,
THIS IS TOO DAMN CLEAN!
(LOU LAUGHS)
LOU: YOU JUST MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.
(ELI SIGHS)
NOW, YOU'RE STAYING THE WEEKEND, RIGHT?
THE WEEKEND? NO!
OH, BUT YOU HAVE TO!
IT'S GRANDPA'S BIRTHDAY ON SATURDAY,
AND IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT IF YOU COULD BE HERE.
WELL, THANK YOU, BUT UH...
PLEASE, ELI.
IT-IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO HIM,
AND TO ME.
WELL...
BUT ALL I GOT TO WEAR IS THIS HERE FUNERAL SUIT,
AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR A PARTY.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, I CAN FIX YOU UP.
YOU CAN FIX ME UP.
YEAH!
I'M GONNA BE YOUR ELIZA DOOLITTLE, AM I?
YES, YOU'LL BE MY ELIZA DOOLITTLE.
AND YOU HAVE A GOOD SLEEP.
OH, AND THERE WAS ONE MORE THING.
DO YOU THINK YOU COULD LOOK UP
DOUG WALTERS AND BOBBY MORROW FOR ME?
WHY?
WELL, IT WOULD BE GREAT
IF THEY COULD BE AT THE PARTY TOO.
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANNA DO THAT?
DOES JACK KNOW?
NOT YET.
OH, A SURPRISE, HUH?
SURPRISES CAN KILL A MAN.
YOU DO KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?
GOOD NIGHT, ELI.

WELL, I MEAN, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP.
LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL THAT YOU CAN RIDE CLOVER.
I MEAN, YOU'RE USED TO HIM.
BUT NO TWO BRONCS ARE EVER THE SAME.
THE ANIMAL YOU RIDE IN THE ARENA,
NOW, THAT'S THE LUCK OF THE DRAW.
YOU WASTED YOUR MONEY ON THIS THING.
YEAH, I WOULDN'T WASTE A DIME ON YOU.
A BUDDY OF MINE LENT IT TO ME.
I NEVER SAID I'D LET YOU TEACH ME TO RIDE.
AH WELL,
VERY FEW WOMEN CAN SAY NO TO CALEB ODELL.
MM-HMM.
SO, YOU READY TO LEARN THE ROPES, OR WHAT?
OR HEY, MAYBE YOU'RE SCARED?
THAT'S OKAY,
IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL TO BE AFRAID...
I GUESS.

CALEB: DO YOU WANNA GO AGAIN?
WOO! WELL, LET ME CATCH MY BREATH FIRST.

HUH?

YOU GOT DRUNK AS A SKUNK THAT NIGHT,
AND YOU PAID THE BARTENDER AT THE WINCHESTER
TO LET US PLAY A SET.
ELI: AND HE DID!
AND THEN YOU AND DOGFACE GOT INTO A FIGHT
OVER WHO PLAYED BETTER,
AND YOU BROKE HIS DAMN NOSE!
(BOTH LAUGH)

LOU: SO THAT REUNION GIG YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY,
IT'S GONNA HAPPEN!
LISA: WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS TO JOIN US,
AND IT'S A GO!
(TABLE CRASHES, LOU GASPS)
I TOLD YOU I DID NOT WANT A PARTY!
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY DAMN TIMES I HAVE TO SAY THAT!
SO YOU LISTEN TO ME NOW!
THERE WILL BE NO PARTY!
THERE WILL NOT BE A PARTY.
(CRICKETS CHIRP)
(ELI CLEARS HIS THROAT)
WELL, JACK...
(CHUCKLES)
THAT WAS ALMOST LIKE OLD TIMES.
I...I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER TO DUCK
OR RUN FOR COVER.
(LAUGHS)
JACK...
YOU REMEMBER THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU AND LINDY GOT MARRIED?
YOU WERE ALL SET TO BOLT.
YOU WERE THAT CLOSE TO JUMPIN' IN YOUR TRUCK
AND GETTIN' AS FAR AWAY
FROM THAT LITTLE LOG CHURCH AS YOU COULD.
AND THEN REMEMBER, YOU AND I SAT DOWN
AND, UH, HAD A FEW DRINKS -
WELL, MORE THAN A FEW, ACTUALLY -
AND I TOLD YOU YOU WERE NEVER GONNA MEET
ANOTHER WOMAN LIKE THAT.
YOU WERE NEVER GONNA FIND ANOTHER GIRL
WHO WAS AS PRETTY AS SHE WAS,
AND AS SMART AS SHE WAS,
AND AS TALENTED.
AND MORE TO THE POINT,
ONE WHO WOULD PUT UP WITH A SON OF A BITCH LIKE YOU.
AND DO YOU RECALL WHAT YOU SAID?
RIGHT. NOTHING.
YOU GOT MAD AND I HAD TO RUN FOR COVER.
BUT YOU STAYED,
AND THE NEXT MORNING YOU MARRIED THAT GIRL,
AND, JACK,
THAT'S THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU.
I SWEAR THE BEST PART OF THE MAN YOU ARE TODAY,
YOU OWE TO THAT WOMAN.
THEY SAY PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE,
BUT... SHE CHANGED YOU, JACK.
YOU'RE WRONG.
THE HELL I'M WRONG!
JACK: IT WASN'T THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING,
IT WAS THE WHOLE WEEK BEFORE.
WELL, WHATEVER.
THE POINT WAS THAT...
YOU KNOW, YOU WERE ALWAYS MORE THAN WILLING TO RUN AWAY
FROM ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE GOOD FOR YOU!
APPARENTLY, YOU STILL ARE.
HELL, JACK,
ALL THEY WANNA DO IS THROW YOU A PARTY.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?
YOU KNOW, THE NIGHT BEFORE MY WEDDING,
I WAS SCARED.
SCARED TO DEATH.
AND I'M SCARED NOW, ELI.
I REMEMBER ALL OF YOU GUYS -
GEORGE, AND DOUG, AND BOBBY -
AND I THINK OF US LIKE WE'RE STILL TWENTY,
BUT DAMMIT, WE'RE NOT!
THEY'RE OLD, WE'RE OLD,
AND... AND GEORGE IS DEAD.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE TIME'S GONE.
WELL... TIME SURE FLIES
WHEN YOU'RE HAVING SUCH A GODDAMN GOOD TIME,
DOESN'T IT?
LISTEN, JACK, YOU'RE A LUCKY MAN!
YOU'VE GOT YOUR HEALTH,
YOU'VE GOT AN AMAZING FAMILY.
YOU GOT A HOT GIRLFRIEND, FOR GOD SAKES!
(LAUGHS) WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO?
CLOSE UP THE BAR BEFORE LAST CALL
BECAUSE YOU IMAGINE YOU'RE ON THE EDGE
OF SOME SLIPPERY SLOPE?
NOW DON'T GO THERE, JACK.
BELIEVE ME,
THE SLIPPERY SLOPE WILL COME SOON ENOUGH.
BESIDES,
YOU DO GET TO THINKIN' MORE SERIOUSLY
ABOUT THE PASSAGE OF TIME,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET TO BE OUR AGE.
WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT, "OUR AGE"?
YOU'RE WAY OLDER THAN ME.
THE HELL I AM! YES, YOU ARE!
I AM NOT! WELL, YOU LOOK LIKE HELL.
YEAH, I FEEL LIKE HELL, TOO.
BUT THEN, I'M NOT SURPRISED.
YEAH, I GOT CANCER, JACK.
WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT?
ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO?
NOTHING.
I AIN'T GONNA LOOK FOR TREATMENT.
THOSE PEOPLE'LL KILL YOU TEN DIFFERENT WAYS
WITH THE POISON THEY GIVE YOU,
AND I ONLY WANNA DIE THE ONE TIME,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AND I-I'D APPRECIATE IT, JACK,
IF YOU DIDN'T MENTION THIS TO ANYBODY ELSE
BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST GET REALLY WEIRD
AROUND THE "C" WORD.
(SIGHS)
IT'S GETTIN' LATE.
YEP, STILL TICKIN'.
HEH! TICKIN' AWAY.
WELL, I-I'M GONNA TURN IN, JACK.
YEAH, SURE.
HEY, JACK?
THANK YOU.
IT WAS REALLY GOOD SEEING YOU AGAIN.
(CRICKETS CHIRP)
(DOOR SLAMS)
HI.
LOU WENT TO BED.
I'M SORRY.
LOU'S REALLY SORRY.
DON'T.
I FEEL TERRIBLE.
WE REALLY DID THINK IT WAS GONNA BE SUCH A GOOD IDEA,
AND WE SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO YOU.
NOW, STOP!
IT'S OKAY.
IT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA.
THE PARTY, IT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA.
WHAT?
I'M THE ONE WHO'S APOLOGIZING,
I OVERREACTED AND...
I'M SORRY.
AWWW!
OH, GOOD!
LOU: MALLORY, THEY'LL BE COVERED IN GRASS!
THIS TEXT, IT'S AUSTIN. THE AUSTIN!
HE HEARD ABOUT THE PARTY AND WANTS TO COME.
SHOULD I INVITE HIM?
CAN I INVITE HIM?
PLEASE TELL ME I CAN INVITE HIM!
INVITE HIM!
(PARTYGOERS CHATTER)
LISA: WELL, WELL, DON'T YOU LOOK HANDSOME!
WELL, THANK YOU, MA'AM.
YOU'RE NOT LOOKIN' SO BAD YOURSELF.
SO SHE CLEANED YOU UP, DID SHE?
YEAH, SHE CLEANED ME UP.
I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR AND I SCARED MYSELF.
(LAUGHS)
OOH!
WOULD YOU LOOK WHAT'S COMING HERE?
JACK: WELL, BOBBY MORROW!
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT!
WELL, EXCEPT FOR THE GREY.
HOW ARE YOU, JACK? GOOD TO SEE YOU!
ELI: DOGFACE, IS THAT YOU IN THERE?
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?
YOU USED TO BE HANDSOME!
WELL I SEE YOU'RE STILL AS UGLY AS EVER!
(ALL LAUGH)
JACK, MY NOSE IS STILL RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT IT!
WELL, I'M GLAD YOU'RE STILL LAUGHING ABOUT IT!
(ALL LAUGH)
AUSTIN: HI.
HEY! YOU CAME!
OF COURSE I DID. THANKS FOR THE INVITE!
UM...
YOU LOOK GREAT.
THANKS. DO YOU WANT TO GRAB SOMETHING TO EAT?
