DAD?
I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO.
WELL, YOU CAN GO TO HELL FOR ALL I CARE.
ASHLEY, DON'T!
OH!
AND FIRST THING IN THE MORNING,
I'M MOVING OUT.
YOU NEED A PLACE TO STAY FOR A FEW NIGHTS,
YOU'RE WELCOME TO SLEEP IN ONE OF THE CABINS.
I COULD WORK AT THE DUDE RANCH.
YOU DON'T MIND IF I BORROW YOUR BULL-RIDER,
DO YA?
HE'S ALL YOURS.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
THAT I'M LIKE MY DAD.
AH...
I DON'T WANNA HURT YOU, AMY.
I GUESS I'M WILLING TO RISK THAT.
I'M NOT. I...
I JUST NEED...
AMY, LOOK...
(HELICOPTER WHIRS, ROTORS BEAT)
(CATTLE MOO)
(ROTORS BEATING)
(CATTLE MOO)
IT'S BAD ENOUGH THEY'RE PICKING ME UP.
BUT MY MOM SAID SHE HAS BIG NEWS
SHE CAN'T TELL ME OVER THE PHONE.
MALLORY, YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY.
WHAT KIND OF NEWS CAN'T YOU TELL ME
OVER THE PHONE?!
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WORK I HAVE TO DO TODAY?
ARE THEY HAVING A BABY?
ARE THEY GETTING A DIVORCE?
I HAVE THE FIVE EXTRA HORSES THAT LOU BOUGHT OFF THAT TRUCK.
PLUS THE DUDE RANCH HORSES.
LOU: YES. OF COURSE.
UH HUH.
I WILL TELL ASHLEY YOU CALLED.
OKAY.
THAT VAL STANTON?
AGAIN.
YOU KNOW, NEXT TIME YOU OFFER SOMEONE A JOB
AT MY DUDE RANCH,
YOU MIGHT WANNA CHECK WITH ME FIRST.
MALLORY: OH MY GOSH, IT'S THE SONG! I HATE THAT SONG!
MALLORY, IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN,
THAT IS YOUR FATHER.
YEAH, TALKING ABOUT THE SON HE DOESN'T HAVE!
I THINK I JUST PUKED IN MY MOUTH.
ASHLEY: CABIN THREE JUST CHECKED OUT
AND DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE ME A TIP.
LOOK OUT FOR THE COW.
I'D BE OKAY IF HE USED A DIFFERENT LAST NAME!
(COW MOOS)
SEE?
TOLD YA.
A COW.
JACK: FIGURED IT HAD TO BE STUMPY'S.
LAZY J. EMPHASIS ON THE LAZY.
(SMALL CHUCKLE) DON'T WORRY, GRAMPA.
I'M ON IT.
IT MUSTA COME THROUGH ONE OF THE HOLES
IN HIS FENCE.
HEY, YOU NEED A HAND TAKING THE STEER BACK?
NO, I'LL MANAGE.
(COW MOOS)
SURE YOU DON'T WANT SOME HELP?
NO.
COW: (MOOS)
YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO TAKE "NO" FOR AN ANSWER.
(GATE SQUEAKS OPEN)
(COW MOOS)
(MOOS)
COME ON.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
TY: AMY.
LOOK, YOU CAN'T DO IT BY YOURSELF.
SO GET OVER IT.
(COW MOOS)
AMY: LET'S GO.
AMY.
(HORSE NICKERS)
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I KNOW YOU'RE MAD AT ME. OKAY?
I'M NOT MAD AT YOU.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE,
YOU'RE NOT HELPING ME.
I WANNA TALK TO YOU.
WE HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TALK SINCE...
SINCE THAT NIGHT.
WELL, WHAT IS THERE TO TALK ABOUT?
YOU CAN'T KEEP AVOIDING ME, AMY!
I MADE A MISTAKE. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU!
I WAS ALL MESSED UP AFTER I SAW MY DAD.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL AT ME!

(FENCE PIECES CLANK)
RIGHT, YOU READY, COW?
YEAH, YOU'RE HOME. JUST HOLD ON,
LET ME GET THIS OF YOU HERE.
THERE YOU ARE.
THERE YOU GO. YOU'RE HOME.
(HELICOPTER ROTORS BEAT IN THE DISTANCE)
HEY, AMY, CHECK IT OUT.
THAT'S THE SAME HELICOPTER WE SAW.
(ROTORS BEATING)
TY: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
OIL OR REAL ESTATE?
(HELICOPTER WHIRS)
AMY: YEAH. THE USUAL SUSPECTS.
SEE YOU.
(ROTORS BEATING)
IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE.
REMOVE AND PROCESS SOILED LINEN.
CLEAN AND POLISH ALL FIXTURES.
DAMP MOP FLOORS AND BASEBOARDS.
REPOSITION FURNITURE.
PERFORM COBWEB CHECK.
REPORT STOLEN ITEMS.
REPLACE AMENITIES.
AND I THINK THAT'S ABOUT IT.
ANY QUESTIONS?
I'M SUPPOSED TO DO ALL THAT?
IT'S CALLED MULTI-TASKING, ASHLEY.
NEXT, THE OUTHOUSE!
EW!
(BUCKET, BROOMS AND SUPPLIES CLATTER)
LOU: ASHLEY!
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!
HOLA ROSALITA!
SOY ASHLEY.
ME PUEDES HACER UN FAVOR?
(VEHICLE DOOR CLOSES)
JACK: AND YOU SEE THIS? TIRE TRACKS. CUT FENCE.
IT ALL ADDS UP TO ONE THING.
I'M THINKING, MORE WORK.
DAMN CITY KIDS ON THEIR ATVS.
TEARING UP RANCH LAND, RIPPING DOWN FENCES,
THEY GOT NO RESPECT FOR ANYTHING.
I WANT YOU TO START RIDING THESE FENCE LINES,
KEEP THEM IN GOOD REPAIR.
AND WHAT ABOUT TY?
I GOT MY HANDS PRETTY FULL
NOW THAT AMY'S GONE BACK TO SCHOOL.
WELL, TY'S GONNA BE KIND OF BUSY
FOR THE NEXT LITTLE WHILE.
(FENCE WIRING CLATTER)
SORAYA: HERE YOU GO.
VEGETARIAN CHILI TIMES TWO.
LOU AND RODRIGUEZ: THANK YOU.
UH, NOW, CONSTABLE RODRIGUEZ,
I, I DIDN'T TAKE YOU FOR A VEGETARIAN.
WELL, I'M NOT.
I'M JUST TRYING TO IMPRESS YOU WITH WHAT A SENSITIVE GUY I AM.
HOW'S IT WORKING?
MM, NOT BAD...
YOU KNOW, FOR SOMEONE WHO CARRIES A GUN FOR A LIVING.
(AMUSED CHUCKLE)
YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING INTO THE CATTLE BUSINESS,
YOU'RE GOING INTO THE FILLING OUT FORMS BUSINESS.
NICE TO SEE YOU TOO, DAD.
YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH PAPERWORK I HAVE TO DO?
THESE RFI TAG... BLEH...
REGISTRATION FORMS,
AGE VERIFICATION... THANK YOU SORAYA.
I MEAN YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE...
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
WELL, THERE'S BEEN AN UPTICK IN LIVESTOCK THEFT
THE LAST FEW WEEKS.
ISN'T THAT WHY WE BRAND OUR CATTLE?
YEAH, BUT IT'S EASY TO CHANGE BRANDS,
OR BRAND OVER THEM. SO, I MEAN,
ALL THAT PAPERWORK'S A NECESSARY EVIL
TO KEEP TRACK OF OWNERSHIP.
(LAUGHS)
YEAH, I CAN SEE SOME LOW LEVEL RUSTLER
LOOKING TO LOOK AT MY CATTLE AND SAYING
"BOYS, WE CAN'T TAKE THAT,
'CAUSE IT'S TOO WELL DOCUMENTED.
LOU: MARK, THIS IS MY DAD.
DAD, THIS IS MY FRIEND MARK.
(HUM OF DINER PATRONS CHATTER, COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS)
(GEAR RATTLES)
DOING HOMEWORK BEFORE SCHOOL'S EVEN STARTED?
KEENER.
(SMALL LAUGH)
JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO DOES WHAT
WHEN I'M NOT HERE.
WELL, SO FAR, WE'RE DOING JUST FINE.
JUST DOING WHAT HAS TO BE DONE WHEN IT HAS TO BE DONE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE A LOT MORE ORGANIZED NOW.
JUST LEAVE IT TO ME.
YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW RELIABLE I CAN BE.
IT'S GOOD TO KNOW.
(SMALL HALF LAUGH)
(TRUCK RUMBLES UP DRIVEWAY)

ASHLEY?
ASHLEY?!
ASH...

(READING) "HAVE A FABULOSO DAY!
ASHLEY STANTON, VP OF GUEST SERVICES."
FABULOSO?
(DOOR CREAKS OPEN AND SHUTS)
MM-HM.
ALL RIGHT, SO I'VE GOT YOU BOOKED IN HERE
FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN SEPTEMBER,
AND I'LL ARRANGE FOR TRAIL RIDES.
MM-HM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
MULTI-TASKING.
ISN'T THAT WHAT GUEST SERVICES IS ALL ABOUT?
YES, YES! JUST ASK UM, FOR ASHLEY!
PERFECT! OKAY. BUH-BYE.
(BEEPS PHONE OFF)
DON'T WORRY, LOU. I'VE TAKEN CARE OF THE ROOMS.
AND THE OUTHOUSE.
AND I'VE ENTERED THE NEW BOOKINGS
INTO YOUR COMPUTER.
WOW!
YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO ADMIT, I HAD MY DOUBTS ABOUT YOU.
BUT CABIN THREE LOOKS LIKE IT WAS CLEANED
BY A PROFESSIONAL.
I MIGHT EVEN MISS YOU WHEN YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
WHO SAYS I'M GOING BACK?
OKAY. ASHLEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I GET WHAT YOU'RE DOING, OKAY?
I MEAN, YOU WANNA BE INDEPENDENT AND EVERYTHING.
BUT... SERIOUSLY?
DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL TO WORK AT A DUDE RANCH?
EXCUSE ME?
DIDN'T YOU DROP OUT OF LIFE
TO RUN A DUDE RANCH?
IT IS HARDLY THE SAME THING.
WHATEVER.
BUT WHEN THE PRINCIPAL CALLS MY MOM
AND TELLS HER I HAVEN'T SHOWN UP,
SHE IS GONNA BE SO PO'D! (LAUGHS)
(PHONE RINGS)
I GOTTA TAKE THIS.
HEARTLAND EQUESTRIAN CONNECTION.
ASHLEY SPEAKING...
(TRUCK RUMBLES)
HEY, JACK.
SORRY WE KEPT YOU WAITING.
SOME KINDA ROADBLOCK...
SOMETHING ABOUT CATTLE.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU TWO.
WE HAD TO OPEN UP THE BACK OF THE VAN,
PROVE WE WEREN'T SMUGGLING COWS
ALONG WITH THE GUITARS.
(LAUGHS)
WELL, SPEAKING OF. WHAT'S THAT NEW SONG...?
YEAH, WE'RE GETTIN' A...
GETTIN' A LITTLE BIT OF AIRPLAY.
A LITTLE BIT? (LAUGHS)
MOM! DAD!
JESS: (ELATED BREATH, MURMURS OF AFFECTION)
MALLORY: OKAY. OKAY.
I KNOW YOU GOT SOMETHING TO TELL ME.
I CAN HANDLE IT. (SQUEEZED GRUNTS)
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, BABY?
GIVE YOUR DAD A HUG.
THE DNA CAME IN AND...
YOU'RE NOT REALLY MY PARENTS?
COME ON, I KNOW YOU GOT SOMETHING TO TELL ME!
YOUR DADDY'S GOT A GOLD RECORD!
JACK: IS THAT A FACT?!
OH, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!
ISN'T THAT GREAT?
JACK: FUNNY THING.
LAST TIME THEY CHECKED CATTLE TRUCKS
WAS DURING THAT FIRST MAD COW OUTBREAK.
WELL, MARK SAYS THAT BEEF PRICES
ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO CATTLE THEFT.
HE'S BEEN REASSIGNED TO LIVESTOCK FRAUD.
FANCY NAME FOR BRAND INSPECTOR.
(HUFFS) WHATEVER.
A VISIBLE BRAND
IS YOUR COW'S ONLY RETURN ADDRESS.
WHAT?
IF MALLORY WAS HERE, YOU KNOW WHAT SHE'D SAY?
"YOU'RE DATING CONSTABLE RODRIGUEZ?"
TY: NO, SHE'D SAY, "IT ONLY TOOK YOU HOW LONG
TO GET OVER SCOTT?"
SO, WE'RE TALKING REBOUND HERE?
ACTUALLY,
WE'RE TALKING COWS.
(UTENSILS CLANK GENTLY)

(SONG CONTINUES) ...just like you
GO AHEAD, JACK.
GO, CALEB. (PATS TRUCK TWICE)
(ENGINE RUMBLES LOUDLY)
CALEB: SUDDENLY, IT CAME SCREAMING DOWN,
RIGHT ON THE CENTER LINE.
HAD ABOUT HALF A SECOND TO DO SOMETHING.
JACK: WHAT KIND OF TRUCK?
CALEB: CATTLE LINER.
DIDN'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.
WHY WOULD SOMEBODY BE MOVING CATTLE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
WELL, THERE'S ONLY ONE GOOD REASON.
IT'S WHEN THOSE NEWLY MINTED BRAND INSPECTORS
THAT'S WHEN THEY'RE HOME IN BED, FAST ASLEEP.
NOW, I GOT A CALL FIRST THING THIS MORNING,
TURNS OUT PAUL BAILEY HAD HIS FENCE CUT,
AND LOST HALF HIS HERD.
PAUL BAILEY?
THAT'S KIT'S DAD?
JACK: YEAH.
THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING THESE DAYS,
HE COULD LOSE HIS RANCH.
(TRUCK DOOR SLAMS SHUT)
(TRUCK WHIRS TO A HALT)
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR SHUTS)
HEY KIT.
KIT: HEY. TY: HOW'S IT GOIN'?
(SMALL GRUNT)
BE OKAY.
HEARD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
YEAH, THEY BACKED UP A TRUCK
AND TOOK OFF WITH OVER 50 HEAD.
MY DAD HAD A LOT OF MONEY WRAPPED UP IN THOSE COWS.
SO WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO NOW?
AH, WELL, THEY WERE BRANDED,
SO THE POLICE SAY THEY CAN TRACK 'EM.
BUT MY DAD ISN'T SO SURE.
AND HE DOESN'T WANNA LOSE ANY MORE,
SO THAT'S WHY I'M OUT HERE CHECKING THE FENCES.
HEY, YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, YEAH. I'M OKAY.
YOU KNOW WHAT RANCHERS ALWAYS SAY.
(BREATH OF EXERTION)
NEXT YEAR WILL BE BETTER.
(CLEANSING BREATH)
SEE YA.
(PHONE RINGS)
HEARTLAND EQUESTRIAN CONNECTION...
NO, THIS ISN'T ASHLEY. IT'S LOU FLEMING.
FLEMING. THE OWNER.
(AWKWARD THROAT CLEAR) YEAH. OKAY.
I'LL BE SURE TO LET HER KNOW.
NO. NO, THANK YOU.
OKAY. BYE.
(BEEPS PHONE OFF)
MALLORY, WHAT'RE YOU DOING?
YOU KNOW HOW MY PARENTS HAD TO TALK TO ME IN PERSON?
YES. I HEARD. THE GOLD RECORD.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
YEAH, AND THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING.
YOU PROMISE NOT TO LAUGH?
OKAY.
NO, YOU REALLY HAVE TO REALLY PROMISE NOT TO LAUGH.
LIKE... NOT EVEN AN INWARD-LIKE PROMISE.
LIKE YOU HAVE TO SAY IT OUT LOUD.
OKAY. I CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO DIE.
(RELUCTANT BREATH)
(STIFLED LAUGHTER)
WHAT? I'M NOT LAUGHING.
CALEB: SO, HOW DO YOU LIKE THE NEW JOB?
ASHLEY: SO FAR SO GOOD.
CALEB: YEAH? WHAT DO THEY GOT YOU DOING?
CLEANING CABINS?
I'M VP OF GUEST SERVICES.
I DELEGATE.
SWEET.
YEAH, IT'S GOT ITS PERKS.
I CAN EVEN HAVE GUESTS IN MY CABIN IF I WANTED TO.
SOUNDS GOOD.
THE TIMING'S OFF.
I'M NOT SAYING NEVER, JUST NOT NOW,
I THINK IT'S BEST FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED
TO JUST STAY FRIENDS.
EVERYONE INVOLVED?
WHO ELSE IS INVOLVED?
NOBODY. AT LEAST NOT YET, BUT...
I'VE GOT HIGH HOPES.
YOU KNOW, THAT SMILE'S ONLY GOING TO GET YOU SO FAR.
WELL, LIKE YOU SAID,
SO FAR SO GOOD.
LOU: GUYS, YOU'VE GOT TO PROMISE NOT TO LAUGH.
I CAN'T PROMISE 'TIL I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
(STIFLING LAUGHTER) OH...
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
IT'S LIKE MY NIGHTMARE IN PLAID!
I THINK SHE LOOKS REALLY CUTE IN GREEN.
A SCHOOL UNIFORM?
BLESSED VIRGIN ACADEMY.
YOU KNOW THE NEWS PARENTS COULDN'T TELL ME OVER THE PHONE?
IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE SENDING ME
TO BOARDING SCHOOL.
BLESSED VIRGIN?
YEAH, IT'S LIKE A CONVENT.
ALL GIRLS. RUN BY NUNS.
AMY: MALLORY, YOU'RE NOT EVEN CATHOLIC.
THAT'S THE LEAST OF MY PROBLEMS.
SO, WHY'RE YOUR PARENTS
SENDING YOU TO BOARDING SCHOOL?
APPARENTLY, WHEN YOU GET A GOLD RECORD,
YOU HAVE TO BE ON TOUR 24/7
SO YOUR SALES DON'T SLUMP
AND THAT RECORD COMPANY DUMPS YOUR BUTT.
AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT MY MOM SAYS.
I NEED SOME HELP HERE.
SO I SUPPOSE YOU WANT ME TO TALK TO YOUR PARENTS?
WORKED OUT GOOD THE LAST TIME.
WELL, GOOD FOR WHO?
MALLORY: FRANKLY, I THINK IT WAS THE BAD ROAD FOOD.
FRIES, BURGERS...
ENDLESS CUPS OF BAD COFFEE.
IT CUT OFF THE BLOOD SUPPLY TO THEIR BRAINS.
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?
WHEN YOU SPEAK TO THEM, SPEAK SLOWLY
AND USE SMALL WORDS.
WHOA, WHOA. JUST HOLD ON, MISSY.
YOU SEE THE THING IS,
I ALREADY HAVE SPOKEN TO YOUR PARENTS.
OKAY! SO, WHEN DO I MOVE BACK IN?
I DIDN'T' EVEN UNPACK.
I CAN TELL YOU,
THAT THIS WHOLE BOARDING SCHOOL DEAL
WASN'T A SNAP DECISION.
THEY DID A LOT OF AGONIZING.
AND A LOT OF RESEARCH.
INTO HOW TO MAKE THEIR DAUGHTER MISERABLE?!
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE AN EXCELLENT SCHOOL, MALLORY.
AND I'M SURE IT'S THE BEST SOLUTION
FOR THE NEXT LITTLE WHILE.
HOW LONG IS LITTLE?
WELL, IT TAKES TIME TO BUILD A CAREER
IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS.
DO THE WORDS "ONE HIT WONDER" MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
(SIGHS)
YOUR PARENTS WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU.
AND YOU OUGHT TO WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR THEM.
AND RIGHT NOW, THAT MEANS STRIKING WHILE THE IRON'S HOT.
DO YOU DON'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT, JACK, DO YOU?
MALLORY.
YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO GIVE IT A CHANCE.
AND IF YOU CAN'T HACK IT,
WELL THEN, WE'LL GO TO PLAN B.
NOW GET IN.
(SIGHS) WHAT'S PLAN B?
TO... COME UP WITH PLAN C IN A HURRY.
(KNOCK AT THE DOOR)
YOU REMIND ME OF YOUR SISTER, WITH ALL THESE SCHEDULES.
THEY'RE FOR YOU.
I TALKED TO CALEB ALREADY. HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
YOU TALKED TO CALEB? BUT YOU WON'T TALK TO ME?
HE'S GOT MORE EXPERIENCE WITH HORSES.
YOU KNOW IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT, AMY.
YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME A CHANCE.
I GAVE YOU A CHANCE, TY. DO YOU REMEMBER?
AMY! AMY!
LET GO OF ME NO. AMY, LISTEN TO ME. OKAY?!
I WAS WRONG THAT NIGHT.
I JUST- I DIDN'T WANNA HURT YOU.
SOMETIMES YOU SAY THINGS AND YOU DO THINGS,
AND YOU JUST CAN'T GO BACK FROM THERE.
AMY, PLEASE!
YOU SAY YOU DON'T WANNA HURT ME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW?
BUT SHE HAS DONE A COMPLETE 180.
JACK: OH, I JUST TOLD HER I WAS SICK TO DEATH
OF SEEING HER FACE
LOOKING ACROSS THE BREAKFAST TABLE AT ME.
GRAMPA...
I MIGHT'VE MENTIONED THAT...
WELL, YOU HAVE HER BEST INTERESTS AT HEART
AND THAT SHE OUGHT TO GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
I'M SURE IT'S A WONDERFUL SCHOOL.
DON'T WORRY, I'LL BE BACK.
(HORSE NICKERS)
YOU KNOW I'M GONNA TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM.
HE LOVES APPLES. DON'T FORGET HIS APPLES.
AND TAKE OUT THE CORES, 'CAUSE HE HATES SEEDS.
YOU KNOW, THIS ISN'T FOREVER, MALLORY.
YOU'RE GONNA BE BACK FOR THANKSGIVING.
ONLY FOUR PIZZA THURSDAYS TO GO.
AND CHRISTMAS.
WHAT IF THEY'RE TOURING ON CHRISTMAS?
AND THEY'RE IN VEGAS OR SOMETHING.
AND I'M THE ONLY KID LEFT THERE,
AND I'M SHIVERING ALONE IN THE DARK
BECAUSE THEY TURN OFF THE LIGHT AND THE HEAT.
WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO ME?
I'M SURE EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE.
YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!
IS IT WORKING?
COME HERE.
HAVE FUN.
MALLORY: BYE, JACK.
(??)
AMY: BYE. MALLORY: BYE AMY.
JESS: MALLORY! YOU'VE SAID YOUR GOODBYES.
HONEY, LET'S GO!
(GASPS) OH MY GOD!
I CAN'T BELIEVE JUST I DID THAT.
IT'S OKAY, MALLORY.
NO, NOW I REALLY HAVE TO LEAVE FOREVER!
JACK: (CHUCKLES)
LOU: I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS, BUT...
I'M REALLY GONNA MISS HER.
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK SHE'LL LAST?
AMY: OH, I'M GONNA SAY MAYBE TWO PIZZA THURSDAYS,
TOPS. (LAUGHS)
JESS: BYE!
(TRUCK HORN BEEPS)
COULD SEE YA FROM OVER TOP OF THE HILL.
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS YOU. I DIDN'T WANNA SHOOT FIRST,
AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER.
LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE'S GETTING PARANOID THESE DAYS.
JACK'S GOT ME OUT CHECKIN' FENCES.
WELL, IT'S NO JOKE WHEN EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT
IS TIED UP IN CATTLE.
I MEAN, YOU LOSE A COUPLE OF DOZEN,
AND YOU CAN'T PAY YOUR RANCH HANDS.
LOSE A COUPLE DOZEN MORE, YOU CAN'T PAY YOUR MORTGAGE.
(HELICOPTER ROTORS BEAT)
(HELICOPTER WHIRS OVERHEAD)
LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY WANTS A BIRD'S EYE VIEW.
SOME PRETTY NICE SCENERY OUT THERE.
NO, THEY'RE NOT LOOKING AT SCENERY.
THEY'RE LOOKING AT MY CATTLE.
YOU WANNA MAKE A COUPLE EXTRA BUCKS?
I THINK THAT'S IT.
LOU!
HOW NICE TO SEE YOU!
HI!
STOCKING UP?
I HEAR YOU'RE TAKING IN BOARDERS?
ACTUALLY, I'M RUNNING A CORPORATE EQUINE RETREAT.
OH...!
AND YOU'VE HIRED MY DAUGHTER.
I HOPE SHE'S WORKING OUT?
TO TELL THE TRUTH, VAL. SHE'S WORKING OUT VERY WELL.
(WITH A LAUGH) OH, SERIOUSLY, LOU.
TRADING IN SHOW JUMPING FOR THAT TRASHY RODEO?
RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME
TO LIVE IN ONE OF YOUR BUNKHOUSES?
LET'S JUST CALL THAT A LITTLE SUMMER REBELLION.
BUT SCRUBBING TOILETS FOR MINIMUM WAGE?
I MEAN, COME ON.
WE DON'T HAVE TOILETS.
WE'VE OPTED INSTEAD FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
OUTHOUSES.
WELL, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE MANAGED
TO PARLAY YOUR MBA INTO A WESTERN THEME PARK
DOESN'T MEAN I'M GONNA LET YOU DRAG MY DAUGHTER DOWN WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW, VAL, I'M REALLY GLAD WE HAD THIS CHANCE TO TALK.
BECAUSE I'M FINALLY BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND
WHY YOUR OWN DAUGHTER DOESN'T RETURN YOUR PHONE CALLS.
PFFF. (SIGHS)
SORAYA: I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SUMMER'S OVER,
AND THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY BACK AT SCHOOL.
AMY: I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE HOMEWORK ON THE FIRST DAY.
KIT: (TO BUS DRIVER) JUST A SEC.
EH, AMY! WAIT UP.
OH MY GOD. THE QUEEN OF THE RODEO?
(HUSHED) WHAT'S SHE WANT?
HEY, UM, I WAS GONNA GIVE THIS TO TY.
BUT UH, MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE IT TO HIM.
SURE. WHAT IS IT?
APPLICATION FORMS.
FOR THE ONLINE COURSES.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S GREAT, TY FINISHING HIGH SCHOOL?
(HALF LAUGHS) YOU'RE KIDDING?
TY? HIGH SCHOOL? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
IT'S ALL HE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT,
SINCE HIS DAD SHOWED UP.
I MEAN, WHO WANTS TO BE A RANCH HAND
FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, RIGHT?
BUT YOU KNOW THAT.
NO, ACTUALLY, UM...
I DIDN'T.
THINGS HAVE SORT OF CHANGED BETWEEN US.
UH... YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M JUST GONNA...
??
SEE YA.
BYE.
UH, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW
IF THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME OR ANYTHING.
BUT, UH, IF THERE'S STILL SOMETHING STILL GOING ON
BETWEEN YOU TWO...
NO.
NO, NOTHING'S GOING ON.
NOTHING AT ALL.
OKAY.
GIRL: HURRY UP, KIT! COME ON!
KIT: WAIT, DON'T. D-D-DON'T. NO, NO, NO.
KIDS: (OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
(DOOR SHUTS)
HEY, ARE YOU STILL DOING NIGHT CHECKS?
AMY: (SIGHS) YEAH. I GUESS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO TY AND CALEB PICKING UP THE SLACK,
SO THAT YOU COULD FOCUS ON YOUR SCHOOLWORK?
AMY: WELL... I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS IT'S JUST EASIER TO DO IT MYSELF.
EVERYTHING IS SO COMPLICATED.
SOMEBODY READS SOMETHING
INTO SOMETHING THAT YOU NEVER MEANT,
OR DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY...
YOU KNOW WHAT? I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN.
EVER SINCE I BROKE UP WITH SCOTT,
I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS HUGE WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED.
YOU KNOW?
AND NOW,
I FEEL LIKE MYSELF AGAIN.
AND THE LAST THING I NEED
IS SOME BIG COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP
THAT JUST SAPS ALL MY EMOTIONAL ENERGY.
WHY ARE YOU ALL DRESSED UP?
LOU: OH, UM...
I'M JUST TRYING THIS ON.
MARK'S TAKING ME OUT ON A DATE TOMORROW.
HE'S FUNNY.
HE'S OLD SCHOOL WHEN IT COMES TO DATING.
HE LIKE... HE LIKES IT WHEN I DRESS UP.
AND UH... (CLEARS THROAT)
HE, UH, ALWAYS INSISTS ON PAYING.
AND HE'S HAS THIS THING ABOUT PUNCTUALITY.
FREE AND EASY. HUH, LOU?
NO COMPLICATIONS. SOUNDS PERFECT.
PFFF.
(FOOTSTEPS CLOMP)
AMY: STILL HERE?
JACK HAD ME OUT CHECKING FENCES HALF THE DAY.
I RAN INTO YOUR DAD.
ALMOST GOT THROWN OFF SHORTY WHEN A HELICOPTER BUZZED US.
HELICOPTER?
FLYING SO LOW, IT COULDA GAVE ME A REAL BAD HAIRCUT.
(SMALL LAUGH)
BUT YOU YOUR DAD, HE TOOK IT PRETTY SERIOUS.
SAID HE'D PAY ME TO WATCH HIS HERD.
WATCH HIS HERD?
CALEB, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW MUCH WORK THERE IS TO DO AROUND HERE?
AND YOU'RE GONNA GO SIT AND WATCH HIS CATTLE?!
I MEAN CAN'T HE GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THAT?
EASY THERE.
CALEB, YOU PROMISED ME!
I GOT MY JOB DONE...
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
...JUST LIKE I SAID I WOULD.
YOU AND TY ARE GONNA BE OFF WATCHING HIS CATTLE
AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING.
WHAT'RE YOU GETTING SO WORKED UP ABOUT?
WHAT HAPPENED TO BEING RELIABLE?
WHAT HAPPENED TO LEAVE THINGS IT TO ME, HUH?
WHAT HA-
WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?
NOTHING.
NOTHING?
YOU THINK TOO MUCH, AMY.
YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT BE A WHOLE LOT HAPPIER
IF YOU JUST STOP THINKING.
RODRIGUEZ: YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS PLACE, LOU.
LA MARIQUITA.
LOU: LA MARIQUITA? ARE YOU KIDDING?
THEIR POLO EN MOLE IS AMAZING.
OH, SO, LET ME GUESS, YOU'VE BEEN THERE?
DO I HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT?
WELL, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PRETEND
YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE MARIQUITA.
(LAUGHS)
(CATTLE MOO, OPERA MUSIC PLAYS)
WAIT HERE A SECOND. OH, SORRY.
(CLOMP OF HOOVES, MEN SHOUTING TO CATTLE)
MARK RODRIGUEZ, RCMP.
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
ME AND MY BOYS WE'RE OUT CHECKING ON THE HERD,
CAME UP ON A BUNCH OF GUYS
BACKING A LINER ONTO MY FIELD,
CLAIMIN' TO TAKE MY COWS.
WAS IT RUSTLERS?
(MUTTER OF AGREEMENT)
SO, YOU GUYS JUST DECIDED TO HANDLE THINGS YOURSELVES?
WARD: SCARED 'EM OFF!
NO OFFENCE, OFFICER.
BUT IF I WAITED FOR THE COPS SHOWED UP,
MY COWS'D BE HALF WAY TO WINNIPEG BY NOW.
WARD: CLOSE 'EM UP!
(MEN SHOUTING TO EACH OTHER AND COWS)
KIT: (UNINTELLIGIBLE CHATTER)
I TOTALLY FORGOT WHERE I WAS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
(SMALL LAUGH)
YOU KNOW THE BEST PART ABOUT DOING HIGH SCHOOL ONLINE IS?
UM... HMM...
YOU NEVER HAVE TO EAT LUNCH IN THE CAFETERIA?
NO. (LAUGHS)
NO DETENTIONS.
OH YES. THAT USED TO BE MY MAJOR.
BOTH: (LAUGH)
PRETTY GOOD AT THOSE.
SO, I TALKED TO AMY.
ABOUT WHAT?
MM, YOU.
AND HER.
I...
I JUST WANTED EVERYTHING TO BE OUT IN THE OPEN,
YOU KNOW?
WHAT'D SHE SAY?
SHE SAID, THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON.
I GUESS THERE ISN'T.
AT LEAST, NOT WITH AMY.
(CACOPHONY OF MUFFLED CHATTER)
(RILED CHATTER OF RANCHERS)
RODRIGUEZ: RIGHT NOW, EVERYBODY, CALM DOWN.
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY, JUST CALM DOWN.
PLEASE!
(CHATTER BECOMES QUIETED)
NOW THANK YOU.
NOW, CATTLE THIEVES CANNOT SELL STOLEN LIVESTOCK
WITHOUT LEAVING A PAPER TRAIL.
NOW THAT'S WHERE THE RCMP COMES IN.
DNA, BRANDING, REGISTRATION MAKE IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE-
TIM: SO I'M SUPPOSED TO LET HIM TO STEAL MY CATTLE
WHILE YOU GUYS ARE RUNNING AROUND PLAYING C.S.I..
WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING BEFORE THEY STEAL MY CATTLE?
HOW ABOUT YOU JUST LET CONSTABLE RODRIGUEZ
EXPLAIN THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION?
THANK YOU.
NOW I FIGURE BETWEEN ALL OF YOU HERE,
I MUST BE LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
OF ACREAGE.
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND, THE RCMP
SIMPLY DOESN'T HAVE THE MANPOWER.
NOW THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN-
DO-IT-YOURSELF LAW ENFORCEMENT?
WHY'RE WE PAY TAXES?
RANCHERS: (ANGRY, RILED CHATTER)
RODRIGUEZ: IT'S ALL LAID OUT IN THIS PAMPHLET.
KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR CATTLE.
MAINTAIN A PRESENCE ON THE RANGE AT ALL TIMES.
AND CALL THE HOT-LINE IF YOU SEE ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY.
CALL THE HOT-LINE?
WHY DON'T I JUST CALL FOR A PIZZA?
RANCHERS: (LAUGHTER)
JACK: THAT'S FUNNY, TIM.
WE DIDN'T COME HERE TO LISTEN TO JOKES.
THESES PEOPLE COULD BE ARMED
AND THEY DON'T WANNA GET CAUGHT.
LOOK, THIS ISN'T THE WILD WEST.
SO WHATEVER YOU DO, IF YOU SEE SOMETHING,
GIVE US A CALL,
DON'T GET BETWEEN A RUSTLER AND YOUR LIVESTOCK
WARD: HEY, RODRIGUEZ!
(SHOCKED CHATTER)
EVERY CENT MY FAMILY HAS
IS TIED UP IN CATTLE!
NOW I'M SUPPOSED TO WAIT AROUND FOR SOME RUSTLER
TO COME ALONG AND STEAL 'EM?
LOOK AT THIS CALF!
IT ISN'T DNA.
IT ISN'T A NUMBER ON AN EAR TAG OR SOME BRAND REGISTRATION.
IT'S MY WHOLE DAMN LIFE!
I'M SUPPOSED TO HOPE SHOW UP IN TIME TO SAVE IT!
RANCHERS: (CACOPHONY OF SHOUTING)
JACK: I DON'T KNOW...
BUT DON'T WANNA PUT THOSE BOYS AT RISK.
WELL, THERE'S NO RISK.
ALL I WANT THEM TO DO
IS FOR WHAT THE GOOD CONSTABLE SAID.
JUST REPORT ANY COMINGS AND GOINGS,
MAKE A PHONE CALL IF THEY SEE ANYTHING.
I TALKED TO CALEB ABOUT IT ALREADY.
I GUESS I CAN'T TELL THEM WHAT TO DO
ON THEIR OWN FREE TIME.
AS LONG AS THEY GOT THEIR WORK DONE.
AND AMY'S.
YOU DO KNOW SHE'S BACK AT SCHOOL?
YEAH, OF COURSE I KNOW.
DID YOU KNOW THAT...
THAT LOU'S DATING THAT COP?
OH WHY, YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
WELL... (HALF LAUGHS)
IF THEY WEREN'T DATING, I WOULD'VE TOLD HIM
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT OF HIS "DO NOTHING" POLICY.
I THINK HE GOT THE GENERAL IDEA.
SORAYA: DO YOU MIND, UM, MOVING OVER SO I CAN SWEEP UNDER THERE?
AH, THAT'S OKAY, SORAYA.
WE WERE ON OUR WAY OUT.
NEXT TIME ANYBODY BRINGS A COW INTO THIS PLACE,
I'M CALLING THE COPS.
OR WORSE...
I'M CALLING MY MOM.
MORNIN'. HOW'S IT GOIN'? GOOD.
HEY, UH, HOW'S SCHOOL GOING?
IT'S GOOD.
I THOUGHT MAYBE I'D GIVE YOU A DRIVE,
WE COULD CATCH UP?
SURE, BUT I'VE GOTTA TALK TO TY AND CALEB FIRST,
GET THINGS ORGANIZED.
WELL, CALEB'S UP AT MY PLACE,
LOOKING ON MY COWS.
HE'S GONNA SWITCH WITH TY IN A WHILE. SO...
YOU EVER THINK MAYBE YOU SHOULD'VE ASKED ME FIRST?
WHAT? IS THERE A PROBLEM?
NO PROBLEM. JUST...
I FAILED A COURSE LAST YEAR
'CAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO STUDY.
HONEY, IT'S JUST A FEW HOURS.
OH, WHAT? SO WHAT, ARE YOU GONNA DO MY HOMEWORK FOR ME
WHILE I DO THEIR JOBS?
WELL, I WAS PRETTY GOOD AT MATH.
SO HOW COME YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT
HOW MANY HOURS ARE IN A DAY?
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
YOU MOVE IN NEXT DOOR
AND YOU STILL DON'T A CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY LIFE.
WELL MAYBE THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
MAYBE THIS ISN'T ABOUT A RIDE.
MAYBE IT'S ABOUT CATCHING UP.
YEAH, I'LL TAKE THE BUS.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
ABOUT BABY-SITTING COWS FOR MY DAD?
OH.
YEAH. HE ASKED ME AND CALEB
TO GO UP TO THE END OF DUDSON ROAD.
IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
NO BIG DEAL? AND, UH...
AND WHO'S GONNA FEED AND WATER,
AND MUCK OUT THE STALLS, TURN OUT THE HORSES?
I'LL GET IT DONE, AMY. OH, YOU'LL GET IT DONE.
WHILE YOU'RE OUT SITTING WATCHING MY DAD'S COWS?
YOU KNOW...
MAYBE CALEB'S RIGHT.
YOU DO THINK TOO MUCH.
(WHIR OF APPROACHING VEHICLE)
(SUV DOOR SHUTS)
VAL: ALL RIGHT, BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING,
JUST PLEASE HEAR ME OUT.
I'M REALLY, REALLY SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED -
FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED.
ASHLEY, I DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE YOUR HORSE WOULD WIND UP.
ALL I WANT IS FOR YOU TO COME HOME.
IT'S NOT MY HOME.
IT'S JUST THE PLACE I USED TO LIVE.
OH, PLEASE, ASHLEY.
THE PRINCIPAL ME CALLED TO TELL ME
YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO SCHOOL.
I MEAN, COME ON. I KNOW YOU'RE MAD AT ME,
BUT DON'T RUIN YOUR WHOLE LIFE.
THE CAR, THE HORSES,
THE CREDIT CARDS...
ASHLEY, WHATEVER IT IS YOU WANT, IT'S YOURS.
NO, IT ISN'T. IT'S YOURS.
AND YOU'VE MADE THAT TOTALLY CRYSTAL CLEAR.
OH MY GOD, ASHLEY, PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU!
NO, YOU'RE BARGAINING.
OFFERING ME WHATEVER IT IS I WANT,
JUST SO THAT I'LL COME HOME.
OH...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
NOTHING.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO.
ASHLEY, COME ON...
YOU KNOW...
I USED TO WISH THAT YOU'D BE LIKE ALL THE OTHER MOMS.
(EMOTIONAL BREATH)
I JUST WANTED MY MOM TO LOVE ME
LIKE THE OTHER KIDS.
BUT NOW,
I JUST WANT YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE.
