WHAT IS THIS?
LET'S JUST SAY NOW YOU'VE GOT ALL THE SPONSORSHIP
YOU'RE GONNA NEED.
I'M GONNA MISS YOU, COWBOY.
YOU'VE STILL HAVEN'T TOLD 'EM ABOUT ME, HAVE YOU?
NO...
I HAVEN'T.
BUT I WILL.
PROMISE.
WHAT'S GOIN' ON, AMY?
WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
MALLORY: MAN, THEY ARE STUBBORN.
HONEY, IT'S JUST SOME TESTS.
WHATEVER THIS IS, MOM,
I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU DO IT ALONE.
ARE YOU BREAKING UP WITH ME?
KIT!
I CAN'T PRETEND ANYMORE.
THIS FRIENDS THING, IT'S NOT WORKING OUT FOR ME.
(EAGLE CRIES)
(HORSES WHINNY)
(WHINNYING)
TY: WELL, THERE'S A REAL BAD SNOWFALL JUST WEST OF HERE.
SO I HEAR.
EVEN CLOSING SOME ROADS DOWN EARLY.
JUST ABOUT FROZE TO DEATH IN MY LOFT LAST NIGHT.
"GLOBAL WARMING," THEY SAY.
"WORLD'S COMING TO AN END." RIGHT.
YOU WANT COFFEE?
YEAH.
SO, IF IT'S GETTING TOO COLD IN THAT LOFT OF YOURS,
YOU MIGHT WANT... IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE?
NO.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY A FEW EXTRA BLANKETS.
OH, THANKS.
I DON'T WANT YOU AND YOUR DIRTY SOCKS
LYING ALL AROUND MY LIVING ROOM.
HEY.
TY: HEY. YOU KNOW, SCOTT'S GOTTEN SOME CALLS
ABOUT WILD HORSES UP IN THE FOOTHILLS.
JUST ABOUT STARVED.
THERE'S A HERD UP NEAR FISH CREEK.
UP, NEAR THE FISHING CABIN?
TY: YEAH, THERE'S SOME COLTS TOO.
COLTS?
OH, DON'T TELL HER THAT.
SNOW'S GOTTEN SO DEEP,
THEY CAN'T GET TO THE GRASS UNDERNEATH.
GRANDPA... UP THERE. GOIN'
GRANDPA, THEY'RE GONNA STARVE!
IF YOU START FEEDING THEM,
THEY JUST GET ALL DEPENDENT.
IT'S HARD TO BE DEPENDENT WHEN YOU STARVE TO DEATH FIRST.
LISTEN!
IT'S JUST NOT GOOD FOR 'EM IN THE LONG RUN.
DYING'S NOT GOOD FOR THEM EITHER
IN THE LONG RUN.
SEE WHAT YOU'VE STARTED?
I'M SORRY. I WAS JUST SAYIN'...
WELL, QUIT SAYIN' AND START WORKIN'
BEFORE WE'RE UP TO OUR EYEBALLS
IN SNOW HERE TOO.
(HUM OF CHATTER)
DAD.
HEY. HI.
MWAH!
I JUST CAME FROM THE BAKERY
AND I GOT THE MOST AMAZING BUTTER TARTS.
YOU WANT ONE? NO THANKS, HON.
OKAY. WHAT'S THE MATTER?
I SPENT THE LAST HOUR IN THE BANK
EXPLAINING AWAY MY CASH FLOW PROBLEMS.
NOT TO MENTION THE HUGE TAX BILL I GOTTA PAY.
I'M SORRY, DAD.
WELL...
IT'LL GET BETTER. HUH?
I MAY NOT HAVE A CATTLE BUSINESS ANYMORE,
BUT AT LEAST WE STILL HAVE THE DUDE RANCH.
YES. AND IT'S DOING WELL.
SO, IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, JUST SAY THE WORD, OKAY?
THANKS, HONEY.
MWAH!
THERE'S THAT OIL GUY; THAT P.W. MORRIS.
P.W. WHAT KIND OF IDIOT GOES BY HIS INITIALS?
I'M SURPRISED THAT GUY SHOWS HIS FACE IN THIS TOWN.
YEAH, UM... YOU KNOW WHAT?
I GOTTA RUN, DAD, OKAY? I'LL SEE YA!
TIM: OKAY, HONEY.
(TRUCK STARTS UP)
PFFFT!
EY, BOY.
HOW YA DOIN'?
HEY.
GRANDPA...
THAT WHOLE ATTITUDE... DRIVES ME CRAZY.
I THINK WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING.
YEAH, BUT, UH...
I HAVE A PLAN.
'COURSE YOU DO.
(HALF LAUGHS)
I WAS THINKING MAYBE A ROAD TRIP?
YEAH. JUST YOU AND ME.
I'M LISTENING.
MAYBE WE COULD TAKE YOUR TRUCK
WITH A BIG LOAD OF HAY
UP TO FISH CREEK,
YOU KNOW, ON SATURDAY...
UP TO GRANDPA'S FISHING CABIN...
AND FEED THE WILD HORSES.
(HORSE NICKERS)
SOUNDS OKAY TO ME, BUT I DON'T THINK
JACK'S GONNA THINK IT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA.
WELL, MAYBE GRANDPA DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW.
(HALF LAUGHS)
♪♪♪
♪ And at the break of day ♪
♪ You sank into your dream ♪
♪ You dreamer ♪
♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪
♪ You dreamer ♪
ARE YOU IN?
ABSOLUTELY.
BOTH: (LAUGH)
SEE YA. YEAH.
SO...
YOU'RE A MAN OF MANY SECRETS.
WHAT?
KIT.
KIT?
YEAH, YOU BROKE UP WITH KIT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY TOOK MY ADVICE.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING.
WHAT MADE YOU DO IT?
HAND ME THAT BUCKET.
OH MY GOSH, TY. YOU KNOW, I KNOW.
SO, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GIVE ME THE DETAILS?
YOU KNOW, MALLORY, THERE'S SUCH A THING
AS KNOWING TOO MUCH.
NO, THERE ISN'T.
TY: DON'T YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LOVE LIFE TO WORRY ABOUT?
EXCUSE ME?
ISN'T JAKE COMING OVER FOR THE WEEKEND?
OKAY, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A LOVE LIFE.
HIS PARENTS ARE GOING TO A FUNERAL
AND HE'S NOT ALLOWED TO STAY HOME ALONE.
SO, HAVE YOU TOLD ANYBODY
ABOUT YOUR OTHER LITTLE THING?
YOU NEVER STOP, DO YOU?
NO. I HAVEN'T, OKAY? IT'S NOT PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE
AND I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
GUESS WHAT? I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
MALLORY, DON'T.
TY, HERE, GOT HIS ON-LINE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA!
HE WAS LIKE IN THE TOP 10 PERCENTILE.
JACK: GOOD FOR YOU, MAN.
TY, THAT IS GREAT. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?
BECAUSE NOBODY AROUND HERE CAN TELL ANYBODY ANYTHING
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS A BIG MYSTERY.
UH, YEAH, NO, MALLORY.
ACTUALLY, YOU JUST CREATE MYSTERIES
WHERE THERE ARE NONE.
YEAH RIGHT.
(PHONE RINGS) OH! I'LL GET IT.
GOOD ON YA.
THANKS.
LOU: HEY, TY, THAT'S GREAT. (PHONE RINGING)
THAT'S AWESOME. REALLY.
THANKS.
MALLORY'S RIGHT THOUGH. WHY... SO SECRETIVE?
NO REASON. I JUST...
I WAS GONNA TELL YOU, BUT... GUESS WHO BEAT ME TO IT?
LOU: I'M ALREADY GONNA BE IN TOWN, SO I'LL JUST MEET YOU THERE.
WHAT?!
GREEN MOUNTAIN SPA? THIS WEEKEND?
BUT THAT PLACE IS BOOKED UP, LIKE, MONTHS IN ADVANCE?!
INTERNET GUY.
I THINK WE SHOULD STAGE AN INTERVENTION.
SPEAKING OF INTERVENTIONS.
WHAT?
DON'T YOU GET IT? HE'S AT A TOTAL CROSSROADS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
COME ON, AMY.
HE JUST GOT HIS HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA;
HE JUST BROKE UP WITH KIT.
(SIGHS) YOU DID KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
THE WHOLE SCHOOL KNOWS THAT.
SO, WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?
I'M WORKING ON IT.
HOW?
IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
WELL, DON'T SCREW IT UP THIS TIME.
(HUFFS)
(HOOVES CLOP)
TY: COME ON, HARLEY. HERE YOU GO.
SO, I, UH...
I THOUGHT I'D PACK US A LUNCH
SO WE WOULDN'T STARVE TOMORROW.
(LAUGHS)
COOL.
YEAH. WE CAN JUST TELL GRANDPA
THAT WE'RE TAKING THE HAY UP TO THE DUDE RANCH,
AND GOING TO SEE A MOVIE IN TOWN, OR SOMETHING.
(APPROACHING FOOTSTEP, TY CLEARS THROAT)
JACK: OKAY, HERE'S THE DEAL.
I JUST TALKED TO SCOTT.
HE SAID TAKIN' HAY UP THERE
IS THE ONLY WAY THOSE HORSES WOULD SURVIVE.
SO...
WHAT'RE YOU SAYING? WE CAN GO?
YES.
THAT'S GREAT. TONIGHT.K THE TRUCK
SOUNDS GOOD.
WE'LL LEAVE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
WE?
YOU THINK I WANT YOU TWO DRIVING
ON THOSE ICY ROADS ALONE?
AMY: I MEAN, IT WASN'T EXACTLY THE WEEKEND I WAS PLANNING.
WELL, HAS HE SAID ANYTHING?
YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE WHOLE KIT THING?
NO. AND HOW WEIRD IS THAT?
HE DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME
HE GOT HIS HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.
I HAD TO FIND OUT FROM MALLORY.
BOYS SUCK.
MM-HM.
THAT'S WHY I KINDA WANTED THIS TRIP TO HAPPEN.
THERE'S JUST SO MANY THINGS THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT.
JUST TALK?
SHUT UP.
(LAUGHS)
ASHLEY: HEY, GIRLS.
HEY, HAVE YOU TALKED TO CALEB?
(HESITATES) YEAH!
YEAH? HOW IS HE?
GREAT.
HE HASN'T CALLED YOU?
(TENSE EXHALE) NO, ACTUALLY.
OH MY GOD, YOU'RE SO LUCKY.
HE'S ALWAYS TEXTING ME,
AND THEN WHEN I TALK TO HIM
I CAN'T GET HIM OFF THE PHONE.
SO... ANYWAY.
UM... WHAT'S ALL THIS I HEAR ABOUT TY AND KIT?
DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA.
(FRONT DOOR SHUTS)
BYE, GRANDPA.
JACK: WHOA-WHOA, WHOA.
WE NEED TO TALK, YOU AND ME.
NOW...
I'M GOING UP TO THE CABIN TOMORROW
WITH AMY AND TY FOR THE DAY,
AND I NEED YOU TO STAY HERE
AND TAKE CARE OF MALLORY AND JAKE.
WE'RE FINE ON OUR OWN.
GRANDPA, I CAN'T, I HAVE PLANS.
WHAT PLANS?
I'M GOING AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND.
I'M SURE I TOLD YOU.
WE DON'T NEED A BABYSITTER.
WHAT IS IT WITH YOU LATELY?
YOU'RE ALWAYS OFF GADDING ABOUT.
IS THIS STILL THE INTERNET BOYFRIEND?
DOES HE HAVE A FACE? DOES HE HAVE A NAME?
YES, HE DOES.
PROBABLY AN ALIAS.
DO I GET TO MEET HIM?
YEAH, LOU. WHEN DO WE GET TO MEET HIM?
YOU WILL.
I DON'T LIKE YOU SEEIN' A TOTAL STRANGER.
LOU: HE'S NOT, OKAY? HE'S...
HE'S A GOOD PERSON, AND HE'S A REAL GENTLEMAN,
AND I LIKE HIM A LOT.
LONG AS HE TREATS YOU RIGHT.
HE DOES.
YEAH, AND HE ISN'T AN AXE MURDERER.
JACK: (HALF LAUGHS) OR WORSE,
AN OIL MAN.
MALLORY AND JACK: (CHUCKLE)
HEY! HEY.
MUAH! LET'S HIT THE ROAD. I AM STARVING.
WELL, WE SHOULD TO DISCUSS, UH, TOMORROW. GOING AWAY.
I'M ALREADY GONNA BE IN TOWN,
SO I'LL JUST TRANSFER MY LUGGAGE INTO YOUR CAR
AND WE CAN GO FROM THERE.
NO. WHAT DO YOU MEAN "NO"?
NO, I MEAN, UH...
I'LL BE PICKING YOU UP AT YOUR HOUSE,
TOMORROW AT NOON.
NO-NO-NO, THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR YOU.
I'LL JUST... I'LL MEET YOU HERE.
NO, IT'S NO TROUBLE AT ALL.
AND THAT'S WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
ME. AT YOUR HOUSE.
TOMORROW. AT NOON. PICKING YOU UP.
(LAUGHS) OKAY.
OKAY. GOOD.
AND ONE MORE THING I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT.
(CLEARS THROAT) WHAT?
WHAT WAS THAT YESTERDAY MORNING?
YESTERDAY WHEN?
IN TOWN. I SAW YOU SEE ME.
PETER, I DIDN'T SEE YOU.
NO, NO, I THINK YOU DID, LOU.
I THINK YOU DID, AND THEN YOU TOOK OFF.
AND I HAVE A DISTINCT FEELING
IT WAS BECAUSE YOU WERE WITH YOUR FATHER.
NO. NO.
YEAH.
HAVE YOU TOLD HIM ABOUT ME YET?
I...
YOU HAVEN'T.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT...
YOU JUST PROMISED YOU WERE GONNA DO THAT, LOU.
PETER, LOOK. I... I WILL.
I TRIED. I DID, I TRIED.
IT JUST...
IT WASN'T THE RIGHT TIME,
BUT WHEN IT IS THE RIGHT TIME, I...
SHOOT!
(FIRE CRACKLES)
JACK: WELL...
CHANGE OF PLANS. (SIGHS)
IT SEEMS I HAVE TO BABYSIT MALLORY AND JAKE
BECAUSE LOU IS OFF GOD KNOWS WHERE.
SO I CAN'T GO TOMORROW.
SO, I GUESS WE CAN'T GO EITHER?
WELL, HERE'S THE THING.
IS THIS ABOUT HELPING THE HORSES
OR IS THIS ABOUT TY?
THIS IS ABOUT HELPING THE HORSES.
WHAT ELSE?
MM. I KNOW ABOUT KIT.
AND I'D HAVE TO BE BLIND
NOT TO SEE WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON BETWEEN YOU TWO;
YOU'VE BEEN CIRCLING EACH OTHER FOR MONTHS.
GRANDPA...
THE ROADS ARE GONNA BE IN POOR CONDITION.
THERE'S EARLY CLOSURES ALL OVER THE PLACE
AND THE WEATHER'S UNPREDICTABLE...
OKAY, FINE. WE WON'T GO.
NO, I'M SAYIN'...
YOU AND TY SHOULD TAKE THE BIG TRUCK
'CAUSE IT'S SAFER THAN THAT PIECE OF GARBAGE HE DRIVES,
AND YOU'LL GET A BIGGER LOAD OF HAY ON TOO.
THANK YOU.
YOU WON'T HAVE ANY CELL PHONE RECEPTION UP THERE,
SO HERE'S A BATTERY
FOR THAT OLD RADIO UP IN THE CABIN.
YOU STILL REMEMBER HOW TO USE THAT, RIGHT?
I DO, GRANDPA.
I'LL DUST THE ONE OFF HERE SO WE CAN COMMUNICATE.
(WITH A LAUGH) OKAY.
TY, TAKE HIGHWAY 40 NORTH. NO SHORTCUTS;
YOU STAY OFF THOSE MOUNTAIN SIDE ROADS.
OKAY, OKAY.
NOW WATCH OUT FOR BLACK ICE...
AMY: GRANDPA... JACK: DEER...
AMY: OKAY, GRANDPA. BYE!
TY: SEE YA, JACK!
AMY: (LAUGHS)
(TRUCK RUMBLES AWAY)
MALLORY: NO WAY! YOU TOTALLY BLOCKED ME!
YOU'RE SUCH A CHEAT!
JAKE: OH YEAH, RIGHT!
MALLORY: I BEAT YOU EVERY OTHER TIME!
JAKE: WELL, THAT'S 'CAUSE I LET YOU!
B CAPITAL S!
(GLASS SHATTERS)
MALLORY: LOOK WHAT YOU DID!
MALLORY: HEY, YOU GUYS BETTER NOT HAVE SPILLED COKE ON THE COUCH.
MALLORY: WE DIDN'T! IT WASN'T ANYONE'S FAULT.
I'LL CLEAN IT UP.
DO YOU HAVE, LIKE, A DUST PAN OR SOMETHING?
SO, WHEN ARE YOU HEADING OUT
FOR YOUR WEEKEND?
UH, SOON.
AND, LISTEN, GRANDPA, I, UM...
HE'S COMING TO PICK ME UP, SO...
MALLORY: WHAT'RE YOU DOING?! JAKE: OW! OW!
I WANT YOU TO PROMISE THAT...
MALLORY: DON'T PICK UP THE GLASS WITH YOUR FINGERS, IDIOT!
GRANDPA.
JACK: BEFORE YOU TWO TRASH THIS PLACE COMPLETELY,
COULD I INTEREST YOU IN LUNCH AT MAGGIE'S?
MALLORY: SURE! JAKE: AWESOME.
ALL RIGHT THEN, LET'S GO. NOW.
MALLORY: THANKS, JACK.
(SARCASTIC) OH, DON'T MENTION IT.
HEY, UH...
I APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT AND MEETING WITH ME.
THAT'S NO PROBLEM.
BUT I'M GUESSING YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME OUT HERE
TO DISCUSS THE WEATHER.
WELL, I REMEMBER YOU OFFERED TO BUY A PIECE OF JACK'S LAND
WHEN HIS BARN BURNED DOWN...
MM-HM.
BUT HE PREFERRED TO DEPEND ON THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS.
YOU STILL INTERESTED IN FEW ACRES?
I MIGHT BE.
WHO'S SELLING?
(SIGHS) WELL, I GOT MYSELF INTO KIND OF A SITUATION.
WELL, I'VE ALWAYS ADMIRED THAT PIECE OF LAND
BETWEEN THE RIVER AND HEARTLAND.
IT'S GOT NICE VIEWS, GOOD ROAD ACCESS,
IT'D BE EASY TO SERVICE.
MMM...
SO YOU'RE THINKING OF DEVELOPING?
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I'M THINKING, TIM.
I MEAN, COME ON.
YOU MIGHT'VE BOUGHT RAY PHILLIPS'S RANCH,
BUT YOU DIDN'T BUY
INTO HIS POVERTY PHILOSOPHY, DID YA?
(WITH A SARDONIC LAUGH) LIVING LIKE A PAUPER
ON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF LAND,
TOSSING AND TURNING AT NIGHT,
WORRYING ABOUT MAKING YOUR MORTGAGE.
AND HERE'S A FRIENDLY NEIGHBOUR WITH A CHEQUEBOOK
OFFERING TO SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS?
IT'S NOT THAT HARD A DECISION, TIM.
(SIGHS)
(TRUCK RUMBLES)
TY: (EXHALES)
TY: NO HORSES.
THEY'LL COME.
IT'S PRETTY COOL OUT HERE.
AMY: IT'S FREEZING.
BOTH: (LAUGHING PLAYFULLY)
(ENGINE RUMBLES)
HEY.
MAY I COME IN?
SURE.
WHOA... (EXHALES)
GOOD LORD, ASHLEY.
MOTHER, DON'T START.
IT'S COLD IN HERE!
WELL, ME AND THIS 30-YEAR-OLD HEATER HERE
HAVE A LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP, BUT HEY...
(GROANS)
HOW ARE YOU?
WELL...
ACTUALLY I, UH, I HAVE SOME NEWS.
THE TEST RESULTS CAME BACK,
AND IT'S GOOD.
(HALF LAUGHS) IT'S ALL GOOD.
SO, LET'S GO CELEBRATE.
I'LL TAKE YOU TO THE CLUB FOR LUNCH, ALL RIGHT?
OKAY. I SHOULD CHANGE.
YEAH, YOU SHOULD.
I'M KIDDING. (HALF LAUGHS)
AMY: SO, UH... KIT.
WERE YOU EVER GONNA TELL ME?
TY: THERE'S NOTHING TO TELL.
IT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT, THAT'S ALL.
DID YOU HEAR FROM CALEB?
AMY: NOPE.
ASHLEY HAS. (TY COUGHS)
APPARENTLY HE CALLS HER ALL THE TIME.
I DON'T KNOW.
NOT THAT I WAS REALLY EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM HIM.
IT'D JUST BE NICE TO KNOW HOW HE'S DOING, YOU KNOW?
YOU'RE REALLY WORKING UP A SWEAT.
I COULD USE A LITTLE MORE MUSCLE OUT OF Y.
I'M KEEPING UP!
ARE YA? YES!
HOW 'BOUT NOW? (BOTH LAUGH)
(KNOCKING AT THE DOOR)
HEY, SWEETIE, YOU'RE LATE.
WE SHOULD, UH, GET GOING.
WHERE'S EVERYBODY? OUT.
HEY, I HAD THEM ALL HERE WAITING.
YOU WERE LATE, SO DON'T BLAME ME.
THAT'S CONVENIENT.
(CAR RUMBLES TO A STOP)
THAT WAS FUN.
YEAH.
THANKS.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
SO YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY IN THAT...
THAT THING?
IT REALLY IS COLD IN THERE.
(LAUGHS)
I DON'T MIND THE COLD.
IT JUST GETS LONELY WITHOUT CALEB.
I MISS HIM.
WHO KNEW?
BUT, TYPICAL GUY, DOESN'T CALL.
HM.
I WAS SURE HE WAS GONNA CALL TO TELL ME
HOW MANY STUPID BELT BUCKLES HE WAS WINNING.
BUT... NOTHING.
WELL... WHAT CAN I SAY?
HE'S A COWBOY.
LOOK, ASHLEY,
I'M GONNA ASK YOU ONE MORE TIME.
MOVE BACK HOME, PLEASE.
I MEAN, COME ON,
WE CAN JOIN TWO OR THREE ROOMS TOGETHER;
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN LITTLE APARTMENT.
IT'LL BE JUST LIKE LIVING ON YOUR OWN.
ONLY IT'LL HAVE HEAT.
BOTH: (CHUCKLE)
JUST THINK ABOUT IT, OKAY?
OKAY.
GOOD.
WELL... THANKS FOR LUNCH AND...
I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THE NEWS.
THANK YOU.
WELL, HERE'S TO GETTING YOUR DIPLOMA.
CHEERS. CHEERS.
(MUGS CLANK)
YOU'VE HARDLY TOUCHED YOUR FOOD,
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH. I'M FINE.
CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
YEAH.
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU PICKED ME UP AT VICTOR'S
AND YOU SAID THAT...
OUR FRIENDSHIP WASN'T WORKING FOR YOU;
THAT...
YOU COULDN'T...
PRETEND?
I CAN'T...
I CAN'T JUST BE YOUR FRIEND.
I GUESS I WANNA KNOW WHERE I STAND...
NOT JUST WITH YOU, BUT WITH EVERYTHING.
I HAVE TO START MAKING SOME CHOICES,
WHAT I'M DOING WITH MY LIFE, UH...
YEAH. MALLORY SAID YOU WERE AT A "CROSSROADS."
YEAH, WELL... THAT DIPLOMA?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS TO ME?
I MEAN, YOU'RE GONNA TAKE IT FOR GRANTED
WHEN YOU GET YOURS, BUT...
FOR ME, IT'S THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
WHERE I HAVE CHOICES.
AND I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LAME, BUT...
NO.
NO, IT DOESN'T.
SO WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?
UH...
I'VE ACTUALLY, UH, BEEN TALKING TO SCOTT.
REALLY? HANG OUT WITH HIM.ULD
OR... OR INTERN... APPRENTICE.
WELL, THAT'S PRETTY AWESOME.
YEAH, YEAH. NO, IT'S GREAT.
BUT WE'LL SEE, YOU KNOW. SEE HOW IT ALL TURNS OUT.
WELL, UM...
WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO WITH US?
I GUESS THAT'S UP TO YOU.
(HORSES WHINNY NEARBY)
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
(HORSES WHINNYING)
(DOOR CREAKS OPEN)
(HORSES WHINNY)
LOU: WHY ARE... WHY ARE WE STOPPING HERE?
UH, I'M JUST GONNA GRAB A COFFEE,
YOU WANT SOMETHING?
LOU: NO. NO, YOU KNOW,
THERE'S WAY BETTER COFFEE ON THE WAY.
WHY DON'T WE JUST GRAB SOMETHING ON THE ROAD?
I'M HERE RIGHT NOW. IT'LL TAKE ME TWO SECONDS.
(MUSIC PLAYS WITHIN DINER)
VAL.
JACK.
HOW ARE THINGS? ANY NEWS?
NEWS?
OH. WELL...
I MEAN I'D LIKE TO HELP TIM OUT,
BUT, UH, HE HAS TO DECIDE. HE SAID HE'D GET BACK TO ME.
ABOUT WHAT?
HIS LAND. HIS LAND?BOUT
(MUSIC PLAYS WITHIN DINER)
PETER: FILL IT UP FOR ME.
MM. JUST COFFEE?
PETER: YEP.
THAT'S THE OIL GUY THAT LOU TOTALLY DESTROYED.
SUCH A JERK.
JACK, AM I...
GETTING INTO THE MIDDLE OF SOME NASTY FAMILY FEUD HERE?
TIM ISN'T EXACTLY FAMILY.
RIGHT.
OKAY THEN, WELL...
LOOK AT IT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE:
ONCE THE DEAL GOES THROUGH,
YOU'LL HAVE A NICE BUFFER BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
MALLORY, JAKE, LET'S GO.
IT'S RIGHT THERE.
OH. HEY, I JUST LOST AN EARRING HERE. I...
OH, FOUND IT. YEP.
(IGNITION TURNS, ENGINE ROARS TO LIFE)
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!
JAKE: WHAT?
MALLORY: THE OIL GUY IS THE INTERNET GUY!
WHAT?
LOU'S INTERNET BOYFRIEND IS P.W. MORRIS.
JAKE: WHO?
MALLORY: JACK IS GONNA GO NUTS! EVERYONE'S GONNA GO NUTS!
ME ON, YOU TWO.PICK UP THE PACE!
I GOT THINGS TO DO!
THEY'RE AMAZING.
(HOOVES CRUNCH IN THE SNOW)
(HEAVY BREATH)
YOU OKAY?
(WOOZY GROAN)
I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD.
IT'S GHOST.
AMY: GHOST?
WHERE?
RIGHT THERE.
AMY: TY. I DON'T SEE HIM. HE'S NOT THERE.
(HEAVY EXHALE)
TY!
OH GOD, TY, YOU'RE BURNING UP.
TY: (HUSHED TONE) I'M OKAY.
(SHOES CLUNK ON THE FLOOR)
AMY: NO, JUST LIE STILL. PLEASE.
AMY...
(WATER SLOSHES)
(MOTOR RUMBLES)
(POWER SAW WHIRS)
(TIRES CRUNCH OVER GROUND)
(ENGINE RUMBLES TO A HALT)
DON'T KNOW WHY I BOTHER. I DON'T HAVE ANY CATTLE,
SO IT DOESN'T MUCH MATTER IF MY GATE WORKS.
YEAH, WELL, THAT GATE MIGHT COME IN HANDY
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANGRY EX-FATHER-IN-LAWS
OFF YOUR PROPERTY.
WHAT'D I DO NOW, JACK?
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
YOU'VE OFFERED TO SELL VAL STANTON
EVERYTHING ON THE WEST SIDE OF YOUR PROPERTY.
WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE
THE PART THAT BUTTS UP AGAINST MY MINE!
I DON'T HAVE ANY OPTIONS.
LOOK, I'M ON MY LAST LEGS.
I EITHER DO THIS OR I SELL THE WHOLE PACKAGE.
THEN SELL HER SOMETHING ON THE OTHER SIDE!
RADIO DJ: ALL SECONDARY ROADS SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 40
HAVE BEEN CLOSED DUE TO THE SNOW
AND RISK OF AVALANCHE.
LOU: PETER, WHAT'RE YOU DOING? WHY'RE WE TURNING AROUND?
PETER: WELL, IT'S JUST AS WELL.
MIGHT AS WELL GO HOME.
LOU: WHAT? WHY WOULD WE DO THAT?
WE... WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO GREEN MOUNTAIN SPA.
WE CAN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
I THINK YOU KNOW WHY.
NO, I DON'T.
BECAUSE THIS WHOLE THING... US...
DON'T THINK IT'S REALLY GOING ANYWHERE.
WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
LET'S... LET'S BE HONEST.
I MEAN WHAT AM I TO YOU?
I'M AN OILMAN, RIGHT? A PARASITE...
PETER... NO, IT'S TRUE.
I MEAN, YOU CAN'T EVEN BRING YOURSELF
TO TELL YOUR FAMILY WE'RE GOING OUT.
THAT IS NOT TRUE! IT IS TRUE.
AND, YOU KNOW, I EMBARRASS YOU OR SOMETHING.
WE'VE BEEN SKULKING AROUND, HIDING OUT FOR WEEKS NOW.
AND HONESTLY... I'M DONE.
PETER!
WAIT! OKAY!
YOU'RE RIGHT, OKAY. YOU'RE RIGHT.
LET'S GO BACK. LET'S GO BACK AND WE'LL TELL MY GRANDPA,
AND WE'LL TELL EVERYBODY,
BECAUSE YOU DON'T EMBARRASS ME, OKAY?
EVER.
EVER! (STAMMERS)
I MANAGED TO DO THAT JUST FINE ON MY OWN.
I WOULDN'T TELL JACK IF I WERE YOU.
MALLORY: YES, BUT IT'S IN MY HEAD
AND ONCE THINGS ARE IN MY HEAD
THEY COME OUT OF MY MOUTH.
MAYBE TY'S RIGHT.
MAYBE YOU CAN KNOW TOO MUCH.
(HUM OF APPROACHING SUV)
OH BOY.
(SUV DOORS SHUT)
MALLORY: OKAY.
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET UGLY.
HEY.
IS, UH... IS GRANDPA HERE?
GRANDPA?
LOU.
THOUGHT YOU WERE ON YOUR WAY...
HEY, JACK BARTLETT. NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
LOU: GRANDPA. YOU REMEMBER PETER MORRIS.
(WHISPERS) INTERNET GUY.
(WIND GUSTS)
(SHAKY BREATHS)
WE NEED TO GET OUTTA HERE.
I CAN DRIVE.
AMY: NO YOU CAN'T.
WHOA... (GROANS)
(STRESSED, SHAY BREATHS)
("NO SIGNAL" TONE BEEPS, TY BREATHES SHAKILY)
NO SIGNAL. FIGURES.
WHERE ARE THE KEYS?
NO, YOU'RE NOT DRIVING, FORGET IT.
TY: (SHAKY BREATHS)
YOU AND HIM?
HE BREAKS DOWN OUR FENCES, HE CHOPS DOWN OUR TREES,
TRESPASSES ON OUR PROPERTY AND YOU...
OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD,
YOU BRING HIM OVER MY THRESHOLD?
HOLD ON HERE, JACK. WE CAN, AH, TALK ABOUT THIS.
MISTER BARTLETT TO YOU!
WOULD YOU JUST LET ME EXPLAIN?!
AT LEAST HE'S NOT JACK THE RIPPER...?
PETER: WHAT?
YOU! YOU... OUT!
MALLORY: BUT... JACK: NOW!
JACK: AND I WANT YOU OUT, TOO.
YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN THIS HOUSE.
LOU: GRANDPA, WAIT...
JACK: YOU AND HE CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT,
BUT NOT UNDER THIS ROOF!
WOULD YOU STOP YELLING!
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT NOISE?!
(SQUEAL AND CRACKLE OF RADIO FEEDBACK)
UGH...
DO YOU SEE?! LIKE, ARE YOU HAPPY?
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I DIDN'T WANT TO HAPPEN!
AMY: (THROUGH STATIC) GRANDPA...
AMY?
AMY: GRANDPA, ARE YOU THERE?
AMY, ARE YOU OKAY?
I'M FINE. BUT TY'S SICK.
HOW SICK?
(GRUNTS)
GRANDPA, HE'S REALLY SICK.
HE CAN'T DRIVE AND I'M AFRAID TO.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DRIVING.
GRANDPA IT'S SNOWING REALLY BAD HERE.
I'LL COME AND GET YOU.
UM, I DON'T THINK YOU CAN.
DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T DO!
OKAY, I'M JUST SAYING THE...
ROAD THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN IS CLOSED.
WE HAD TO TURN BACK OURSELVES, SO...
(STRONG GUSTS OF WIND)
JACK'S: (OBSCURED BY RADIO STATIC) ...HIGHWAY CLOSED...
GRANDPA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
I SAID, THE HIGHWAY IS CLOSED.
(HUM OF STATIC)
O-OKAY, UM...
WE'LL BE FINE. WE'LL JUST... WE'LL STAY HERE.
WE'LL BE FINE.
(PAINED BREATH)
(WIND GUSTING)
HI!
WHAT'S WRONG?
(EXHALES) NOTHING I JUST...
WELL, I JUST NEEDED TO TALK TO YOU
BECAUSE I WAS WORRIED THAT YOU SAID
YOU WERE PINING OVER THIS...
OVER CALEB.
LOOK, ASHLEY,
I FOUGHT WITH MYSELF ALL THE WAY OVER HERE.
BECAUSE I REALLY DIDN'T WANNA SAY ANYTHING,
BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
WHAT TRUTH?
VAL: YOU'RE MAKING A LOT OF REALLY BAD DECISIONS RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE YOU ARE UNDER THE MISGUIDED PERCEPTION
THAT YOU KNOW THIS GUY.
I DO.
VAL: NO, HONEY, YOU DON'T!
HE HOOKED UP WITH YOU BECAUSE HE SAW AN OPPORTUNITY.
MONEY? RIGHT?
YOU HAVE THIS STRANGE TWISTED VIEW OF THE WORLD.
NOT EVERYONE IS MOTIVATED BY MONEY, MOM.
ESPECIALLY CALEB.
(LAUGHS)
IS THAT RIGHT?
THEN WHY DID IT TAKE HIM LESS THAN TEN SECONDS
TO ACCEPT MY SPONSORSHIP MONEY.
OH. HE DIDN'T TELL YOU?
WELL, OF COURSE HE DIDN'T!
I GAVE HIM A CHEQUE
SO HE COULD GO ON HIS LITTLE RODEO CIRCUIT.
YOU PAID HIM TO GO AWAY?
NO. UHN-UHN.
HE WANTED TO GO AWAY;
I JUST MADE IT POSSIBLE.
GET OUT!
ASHLEY! WHY'RE YOU ANGRY WITH ME?
HE TOOK THE MONEY!
YOU ONLY PAID HIM FOR ONE REASON.
TO GET RID OF HIM. TO BUY HIM OFF!
YES, SWEETHEART. AND HE WAS BOUGHT.
I WANT YOU TO LEAVE. NOW.
(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)
(WIND GUSTS STRONGLY)
(WATER SLOSHES)
(UNCOMFORTABLE GRUNTS)
I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES. HOW MANY PLOWS HAVE WE GOT?
SO USE ONE OF THEM.
LOOK. I WANT THE ROAD CLEARED BY SUNRISE.
HE'LL GET IT DONE, GRANDPA.
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DRIVE OUT THERE FIRST THING.
HE'S A GOOD GUY. PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND.
LOU, YOU NEED TO REALIZE
THAT IT'S PRETTY MUCH IN MY BLOOD
TO HATE THESE OIL GUYS.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW I FELT BEFORE, TOO,
BUT I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW HIM
AND HE'S NOT JUST AN OIL GUY.
WELL, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO KNOW HIM...
AND IT'S... IT'S GONNA TAKE ME SOME TIME
TO GET USED TO YOU DATING THE ENEMY.
SO, AH, I GOT ONE OF MY GUYS
TO TAKE A PLOW TO YOUR ROAD AT DAWN.
LOU: GREAT. OKAY.
YEAH. WE'LL GET YOU THERE.

OKAY, UM...
I KNOW YOU DON'T THINK SO,
BUT WE CAN BE FRIENDS, I MEAN WE ARE FRIENDS, RIGHT?

WE CAN BE MORE THAN THAT.
I MEAN, WE NEED TO BE MORE THAN THAT, 'CAUSE...
'CAUSE I LOVE YOU. I... (TEARY INHALE)
I ALWAYS HAVE. AND...
LOOK...
I KNOW I'VE SCREWED UP.
MORE THAN A FEW TIMES, I KNOW...
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
I LOVE YOU TOO.
THERE'S NOTHING BUT STATIC.
PETER: OKAY. GREAT. NO, THAT'S FINE, THANKS.
THANK YOU.
OKAY. SO, UH... MY GUY'S OUT THERE NOW.
HE PLOWED THE ROAD TO YOUR CABIN.
HE SAYS THE OTHER ONES WILL BE OPENED SOON.
SO, UH...
GUESS WE SHOULD HEAD OUT NOW.

YEAH, I'LL COME WITH YA.
FINE.
LOU: OH, UM...

TAKE THIS WITH YOU.
THANK YOU.
LOU: AND DRIVE CAREFULLY, OKAY?
PETER: I WILL.
ALL RIGHT, SEE YOU IN A BIT.
LOU: OKAY.
(TRUCK ENGINE RUMBLES)
AMY! HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET HERE?
(EXHALES) WE FOLLOWED THIS BIG PLOW.
IT WAS FROM BEDFORD OIL;
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GOT THERE.
MALLORY: TY! OH MY GOD, ARE YOU OKAY?
TY: I'M OKAY.
JACK: YOU LOOK LIKE HELL.
I'M A LITTLE SICK.
LOU: AMY!
INTERNET GUY.
LOU: HEY.

(LAUGHS)
SURPRISED?

WELL... IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK AND...
I MISSED YOU A LOT.
THERE'S SOMETHING I GOTTA TO TELL YOU.

AND TAKE THESE TOO!
(OBJECTS CLATTER)
SO, UH...
THANKS... FOR WHAT YOU DID.
OH, HEY, ANYTIME.
YOU GOTTA RALLY ROUND WHEN THERE'S AN EMERGENCY, RIGHT?
YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GONNA BE IN A JAM YOURSELF, SO.
MY PLEASURE.
DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT HIM.
JUST GIVE HIM 20 YEARS OR SO.
YEAH. (CHUCKLES) ALL RIGHT.
HEY, LOOK, I'M...
I'M SORRY. RIGHT FROM THE START...
I SHOULD HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT US.
OH, IT'S...
IF THERE EVEN IS AN "US" ANYMORE?
(CONTEMPLATIVE BREATH)
WELL...
I GUESS THAT ROAD'S OPEN ABOUT NOW.
I MEAN, WE COULD PROBABLY MAKE A LATE LUNCH IN THE HOTEL
IF YOU WANT.
I'LL GET MY BAG.
IT'S STILL IN THE TRUCK.
OKAY.
BOTH: (LAUGH)
JACK: WELL, LOOK AT YOU.
(CLEARS THROAT)
NEXT THING I SUPPOSE THERE'LL BE DIRTY SOCKS
LYING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
THIS IS JUST TEMPORARY, JACK.
WELL IT BETTER NOT BE.
REMEMBER, A LONG TIME AGO
I WARNED YOU ABOUT GETTING ANYWHERE CLOSE
TO MY GRAND DAUGHTERS.
NOTHING HAPPENED, JACK. OBVIOUSLY.
OKAY. MAYBE NOT.
BUT NO KISSING AND RUNNING THIS TIME.
YOU GET MY DRIFT?
YEAH, JACK.
I GET IT.
(FIRE CRACKLES)
(INHALES DEEPLY)
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
(FENCE LATCHES CLANK)
JACK.
JACK: TIM.
WHAT'S THIS?
THIS IS A LITTLE SOMETHING TO HELP YOU OUT.
SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO TIDE YOU OVER FOR A YEAR OR SO.
NO, JACK, I APPRECIATE IT. BUT NO.
DON'T BE AN ASS.
THE THOUGHT OF BEING BOXED IN BY VAL STANTON ON TWO SIDES
IS MORE THAN I CAN BEAR.
(HALF LAUGHS)
BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
YEAH IT IS.
YOU DON'T WANNA SELL THAT.
I'LL PAY YA BACK, JACK.
WELL, DON'T BE IN TOO BIG A HURRY;
I'M PLANNIN' ON GOUGING YOU ON THE INTEREST.
(VEHICLE WHIRS)
VAL: MORE TESTS?
WELL... HEH...

OH, EXCUSE ME. ARE WE INTRUDING?
BOTH: YES!
DON'T CATCH WHAT HE'S GOT, AMY.
