Harley:
HAVE YOU BEEN

YOU HEARD WHEN
SHE DIED, DID YOU?

YEAH.

SHE HAD A LOT OF REGRETS
ABOUT THINGS SHE DONE
IN HER LIFE.

IT'D BE NICE
IF YOU DROVE OUT
AND SAW HER GRAVE.

OH, I DON'T KNOW
WHY I SHOULD DRIVE
ALL THE WAY OUT THERE

TO PAY MY RESPECTS
TO A DEAD WHORE.

SHE DROVE MY DADDY
TO HIS GRAVE.

I DON'T HAVE
TO GO OUT AND SEE HERS.

WELL, YOU GO AND DO
WHAT YOU THINK RIGHT.

HE HAD IT IN HIM
TO FORGIVE HER.

SHE'S OUT THERE BURIED
NEXT TO HIM, IS SHE?

YEP, SHE IS.

YEP, THE BEST

WELL, LEASTWISE,

Announcer over P.A.:
And here we go, Larry Mahan,

Crystal, Texas,
and the horse, Grand National.

Here's our five-time
all-around champ of the world

showing the form
that earned him the title.

[ crowd cheering ]

Larry really
doin' a fine job,

spurring up forward
all the way through the ride.

- [ buzzer sounds ]
- And pick-up men move in
to make the recovery.

We're going to check
with our judges here
and see how they score it.

Remember, we score
each ride one to 25.

One marking
for the bucking horse,

and one to 25
for the cowboy.

Lew: BY GOD, LARRY,
YOU'VE JUST BROKE
EVERYBODY'S HEART.

HEY, LEW, THIS IS KIND OF
A HEART-BREAKIN' GAME.

[ laughs ]
HEY, THIS IS
MY BOY BOB, LARRY.

HI, BOB, GOOD TO SEE YA.

YOU GONNA BE A BRONCO-RIDER
LIKE YOUR OLD MAN?

- MMM.
- I DON'T KNOW.

[ crowd chattering ]

DAMN,
WHAT HAPPENED TO...

Lew:
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE
HE BROKE A--

AN ARM OR SOMETHING,
I DON'T KNOW.

GEEZ,
I BET THAT HURTS.

BOY, HE'S HAD HIS SHARE
OF BAD LUCK.

HERE.

THANK YOU.

IT WON'T START
HURTIN' YET, BUT...

OH, MAN.

DID YOU EVER BREAK
AN ARM?

NO NO NO,
I BUSTED A KNEECAP ONCE.

Rodeo announcer:
Here we go.

Everett's ridin' him
like he owns him,

and doin' a great job
of spurrin' him.

- [ buzzer sounds ]
- BOYS, LET'S GO!

Rodeo announcer:
Butch Cody, Cedarville, Kansas,

and Witch Doctor.

And ladies and gentlemen,
that completes our
bareback riding.

Let's go to
the calf-roping contest.

AND HERE'S A SKILLED EVENT.
A LOT DEPENDS

ON THE FINE HORSE
THE COWBOY RIDES.

REMEMBER, THEY RIDE
QUARTER HORSES NOT
ONLY FOR SPEED,

BUT FOR THEIR ABILITY
TO WORK THE ROPE

AFTER THE CATCH
IS MADE ON THE CALF.

LET'S GO TO THE ROPING CHUTE,
AND ROY ECHEVARY

of Clovis, New Mexico
is to be our first roper.

HEY,
THERE'S ROYCE.

HEY, ROYCE!

YOU KINDA
LIKE HIM, HUH?

OH, YEAH,
HE'S A GOOD GUY.

HE'S A-- HE'S
KINDA QUIET THOUGH, LEW.

HE DON'T RODEO
OR NOTHIN'.

OH, WELL, HELL,
NOT EVERYBODY CAN RODEO.

YEAH, I SUPPOSE SO.

HE'S A GOOD GUY THOUGH.
WE DO THINGS, YOU KNOW.

- WE GO RIDIN' AND STUFF.
- YEAH.

I GOT ON
A BRONC ONCE.

- NO KIDDIN'?
- YEAH.

WELL, DID YOU GET
BUCKED OFF, OR WHAT?

YEAH, RIGHT OUT
OF THE CHUTES.

- DID IT HURT?
- WELL, A BIT, YOU KNOW.

WELL, HELL,
YOU GOTTA LEARN TO TAKE
YOUR KNOCKS TO GET ANYWHERE.

IF YOU FALL OFF,
YOU GET BACK UP AGAIN.

WELL, ROYCE DON'T THINK
I OUGHT TO GO INTO IT
PROFESSIONAL.

HELL, THERE'S
NOTHING WRONG WITH IT,
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

YEAH, I'M SURE
THINKIN' ABOUT IT.

MA'D BE TICKED OFF.

OH, WELL, TO HELL
WITH HER NOW.

- Announcer: The calf
must remain tied until...
- YOU MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND.

YOU DO WHAT
YOUWANT TO DO,
NOW, YOU HEAR?

HUH?

BY GOD,
THERE HE GOES!

He makes a real fast catch
and has everything goin'
in his favor.

Take a look at that horse
work the rope for you.

Earl makes a fast time.

The flag comes down
in the field.

uncer:
This could be
the time to beat.

Mrs. Brown, would you please
report to your automobile?

Your husband
is there with your baby
and the baby is crying.

You have something
the baby wants,

and the old man
is doing the best he can

with the tools
he's got to work with.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we ask the wonderful folks

we'd like to have you
meet here this afternoon,

the sponsors
of the Trancton Rodeo.

WE'D LIKE TO ASK
THE JOHN MOON FAMILY
TO PLEASE STAND UP.

How about a nice hand
for this wonderful group?

for the Parade Queen
and also the Rodeo Queen,

Miss Shirley Moon?

There she is.
Isn't she lovely?

Now, ladies and gentlemen,
back to the bucking chutes

and the classic
bull-riding events.

Saddle-bronc riding time,
where they ride eight seconds

to the sound of the buzzer,

ride with what we call
an association saddle--

one hand
in the buck ring,

the other hand
must stay free in the air

till you hear
that buzzer sound.

Cowboy are required
to spur up forward,

over the points
of the shoulders,

and then continue to spur
what they call fore and aft

to gather points
on the ride.

Again, it's scored
one to 25,

one marking
for the saddle bronc,

one to 25
for the cowboy.

There is a judge
on each side,

- looking for
the cowboy's favor...
- Rita: LEW, HONEY?

...and also
disqualifications.

And here's
a cowboy to watch--
Larry Mahan, Crystal, Texas,

five times all-around
champ of the world.

AND HERE WE GO,
LARRY MAHAN OF CRYSTAL, TEXAS!

[ crowd cheering ]

HE'S MAKIN' IT TOUGH
ON EVERYBODY ELSE.

[ buzzer sounds ]

[ horse neighs ]

The score is a 75.

And that makes him our leader
in saddle-bronc riding.

[ horse neighs ]

Down before the buzzer,

that'll be no score
on his ride.

HEY, DAD.

Will you look at this?

Clete Lomax will show you
how you ride the saddle bronc.

Last time Clete rode
the saddle bronc,

he set four world records.

He went up the highest,
stayed up the longest,

- and came down the hardest.
- [ crowd laughing ]

Also kicked up
the most dust.

WHAT THE HELL'S
THE MATTER WITH YOU,
YOU DAMNED FOOL?

YOU'RE TAKIN'
SOME PRETTY HAIRY
CHANCES OUT THERE.

- OH, I'M ALL RIGHT.
- Lew: YOU ALL RIGHT?

- YEAH, I'M OKAY.
- SURE, NOW?

HELL, YES,
I'M ALL RIGHT!

Lew:
THEN WIPE THOSE TEARS
OUT OF YOUR EYES.

IT'S A LONG WAYS
FROM MY HEART.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, HE'LL BE OKAY.

All set with Tony Martinez
of Roy, New Mexico,

on the bucking horse Trader.

Trader has
a little something extra,

unloads Martinez
before the buzzer.

There'll be no score
on Tony Martinez.

GET OUT OF THERE, BOY.

We're waiting
for the horse to settle
in the bucking chute.

Here's Ron Moore,
El Paso, Texas.

[ buzzer sounds ]

Ron made a great recovery
and did score higher on riding.

Let's see what our judges
come up with on Ron Moore.

AND THEY SCORE HIM A 73.
NOT BAD.

COME HERE.

THERE'S A WHITE
PICK-UP TRUCK
OVER THERE,

THE OTHER SIDE
OF THOSE STANDS.
THERE'S THE NUMBER.

YOU WATCH AND SEE
WHO GETS IN THAT TRUCK,
AND YOU TELL ME, YOU HEAR?

YES, SIR, MR. FERGUSON,
I SURE WILL.

LET'S WAIT FOR OUR JUDGE'S
DECISION ON THE SCORE.

- [ buzzer sounds ]
- HEY, HONEY, YOU ALL RIGHT?

- HI, FINE.
- YOU NEED A LITTLE
BIT MORE GUM?

YES.

SAY, LEW, I'D GIVE HIM
A LITTLE MORE REIN
THAN THAT.

HE BUCKS HIS HEAD
PRETTY LOW.

I'M GUESSING,
BUT I THINK--

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

THIS THING'S RIGHT.

Now, ladies and gentlemen,
to chute number seven,

here's a cowboy
we haven't seen
much of lately,

hometowner Lew Lathrop,

right here from
Trancton, New Mexico,
next up in bronc riding.

BEAR DOWN
ON THIS ONE.

LET'S WIN THIS ONE, DAD,
JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT.

YOU BETTER GET YOUR TAIL
RIGHT OVER THERE, SON.

- HE'LL PUSH HIS HEAD OUT
WHEN I OPEN THE GATE.
- OKAY.

- DON'T SCREW HIM UP.
- YEAH, OKAY.

And here he goes!

THAT'S IT!
GET HIM, LEW!
GET HIM!

THAT IS AMAZING.
LOOK AT THAT BOY GO!

[ buzzer sounds ]

Let's see what
they come up with

for a score
on Lew Lathrop.

- HEY, LEW, RIGHT ON!
- SOME KIND OF RIDE!

The judges have
scored him an 84.

Ladies and gentlemen,
that happens to be

the highest score
of the afternoon.

I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU SHOULD HAVE
BEEN THAT HIGH!

[ laughs ]
BOY, HE'S GOOD.

GOLLY, HONEY,
MAYBE I CAN GET
A LITTLE PIECE OF THAT BOY.

[ laughter ]

OH, YOU JUST
FORGET ABOUT IT.

I'LL SORT IT OUT
MYSELF.

[ chattering, yelling ]

HEY, SUGAR, COME ON,

WHY HAVIN' A GOOD TIME

ALWAYS MEANS
BREAKIN' UP EVERYTHING!

FOR A MAN'S PROPERTY.

HANK'S PLACE!
HEY, LET'S GO

HEY, LEW.

HOWDY, MEL.

WHAT'S THIS, UH...

CLAYTON JACKSON TELLS ME

OH, I... DOES THAT

ANYBODY WOULD STEAL?

A LITTLE PAST

BOB IS JUST GETTING READY
TO GO HOME NOW.

DON'T FORGET WHAT
I TOLD YOU ABOUT KEEPIN'

I DON'T...

I DON'T REALLY THINK
THAT'S TRUE, HON.

I KNOW HE LOVES YOU,

BUT I CAN'T ANSWER YOU

THANKS, CLETE.

GOOD NIGHT.

[ doors clanging ]

WHAT'D THAT COST YA?

NOTHIN'.

IT WAS A FAIR TRADE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
FAIR TRADE?

POTTER HAD
A BAD HABIT

OF HITTIN' ON YOUNG
INDIAN GIRLS IN THIS TOWN

WHEN NO ONE WAS LOOKIN',

SO I CALLED HIM ON IT.

ONE NIGHT
I WENT WITH HIM,

HE GOT DRUNK,
PASSED OUT,

AND I GAVE HIM
A HAIRCUT.

[ laughs ]
YOU GAVE HIM A HAIRCUT?

YOU'RE KIDDING.

ABOUT... THAT CLOSE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THEN I PUT IT
IN AN ENVELOPE

AND ADDRESSED IT
TO HIS WIFE.

BUT I NEVER MAILED IT.

TONIGHT HE WAS NICE ENOUGH
TO LET YOU OUT,

SO I WAS NICE ENOUGH
TO GIVE IT BACK TO HIM.

WHEW...

GOT YOUR GUN?

SURE, LET'S GET IT ON!

[ tires screeching ]

SO YOU BROUGHT ME
ALL THE WAY OUT HERE
JUST TO SHOW ME THIS?

- LET'S GO BACK.
- SURE. SEE YOU LATER, PETE.

WELL, THAT SURE AS HELL
IS NICE, HONEY.

WOULD YOU TELL ME
WHAT WE'RE DOIN' HERE?

HELL, I ALREADY KNOW
YOU'RE RICH.

THAT'S THE PRIZE.

THE PRIZE?

SURE.

YOU WANT IT,
I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.

WELL, HELL YEAH.

SAY PLEASE.

PLEASE.

SAY PRETTY PLEASE.

COME ON, LET'S GO HOME.

ONE MORE JOINT
AND I'LL TAKE YOU HOME.

HELL, HONEY,
ONE MORE JOINT

AND YOU WON'T HAVE
TO TAKE ME ANYWHERE.

[ keys jingle ]

HEY, WHAT--
WHAT THE HELL
DID YOU DO THAT FOR?

I TOLD YOU,
I PLAY DIRTY.

YEAH, WELL,
YOU'RE REALLY PUTTIN'
MY BUTT IN A BRACE, HONEY.

- GETTIN' SCARED, HUH?
- NO NO, I'M GETTIN'
A LITTLE PISSED OFF THOUGH.

- IS THAT SO?
- YEAH, THAT'S SO.

YOU DON'T WANT
TO PLAY ANYMORE?

LISTEN, HONEY,
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHY THE HELL I'M HERE.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT WE'RE DOIN'HERE.

[ moans ]

YOU EVER MAKE IT
WITH AN INDIAN?

HMM-MM, NO.

LOOKS LIKE
I'M GONNA HAVE TO THOUGH.

Rodeo announcer:
We direct your attention

to chute number three,
and the horse Jelly Bean
is really anxious to go.

Tony Martinez
of Roy, New Mexico
all set for the ride.

And here we go.

Uh-oh, looks like
Jelly Bean has done it again.

Jelly Bean's
just squaring things

for the great ride
that was made on him yesterday.

There'll be no score
on Tony Martinez.

WELL, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN,
WE'VE JUST RECEIVED A NOTE.

WE HAVE A FINE
REFRESHMENT STAND
IN THE BACK.

Ladies and gentlemen,
all proceeds go

to the Children's Foundation
Hospital for the Handicapped.

Let's help out
a worthy cause.

Remember that stand
right behind our judge's stand.

SEEN ANYTHING
OF HIM, BOBBY?

NOWHERE.
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN
WITH HIS BULL RIDE?

ARE THEY JUST
GONNA TURN HIM OUT?

NO, I TALKED TO THEM.
THEY'RE GONNA HOLD HIM
AS LONG AS THEY CAN.

OFFICER.

HE SURE MUST HAVE GOT HIMSELF
CLOBBERED LAST NIGHT.

SURE HOPE HE'S ABLE
TO GET ON HIM

IF HE DOES SHOW UP.

WHERE THE HELL IS HE?

I DON'T KNOW.
I TALKED TO THE SHERIFF,

AND HE SAID
SOMEBODY BAILED HIM OUT

BUT HE WOULDN'T TELL ME
WHO AND WHY.

[ buzzer sounds ]

MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO GO
TALK TO YOUR MOM

AND TELL HER
WHAT HAPPENED, HUH?

DO YOU THINK
HE'S IN TROUBLE?

I DON'T KNOW,
YOUR GUESS IS
AS GOOD AS MINE, BOBBY.

MAYBE THAT SON OF A BITCH
RUN OUT AGAIN.

HEY, NOW, CUT THAT OUT!

I HEAR YOU TALKIN' LIKE THAT
AGAIN I'LL KICK YOUR BUTT.

GO ON, AND TELL HER.

OH, DAMN IT TO HELL.

And Ron scores a 75.

That should be
enough for some of that
prize money here today.

And we'll go right back
to the action

out of the bucking chutes
and more saddle-bronc riding.

DAMN, WHERE DOES
THE TIME GO?

Here we go
with Marvin Shelby.

[ crowd cheering ]

Whoops. By God,
he really hits the ground

Well, we hope you've enjoyed
the saddle-bronc riding

- here at Trancton, New Mexico.
- I'LL BE RIGHT BACK, ROYCE.

That winds up our event
for this year.

Now, ladies and gentlemen,
to the steer wrestling

or bulldogging, whichever
you choose to call it.

Again, they'll be riding
quarter horses for the speed

from a standing start.

Here we go,
Len Jensen...

His time:
9.1 seconds.

Here goes our next
steer wrestler.

- [ crowd cheering ]
- [ steer grunts ]

Floyd had
a real fast time:

5.1 seconds.

Abner Scrawley will be
our next bulldogger.

The flag is up
and they're ready to go.

And now,
ladies and gentlemen,
to our final contest event,

the one I know you've
all been looking forward to,

wild Brahma bull riding,
where they ride eight seconds
to the sound of the buzzer.

- HAVE YOU FOUND
MANY SHACKLES?
- NO.

Not required
to spur in this contest,

but if they can spur,
that's more points
in their favor.

You want to keep your eyes
on our rodeo clowns
during this contest.

Clete Lomax,
and also Wiley McCray,

Larry McKenney
will be out there
not only for the comedy,

but for the protection
of the cowboys as well.

They score the same,
one to 25 point marking

FOR THE BULL, AND ONE
TO 25 FOR THE COWBOYS.

AND NOW TO THE BUCKING CHUTES,
AND OUR FIRST RIDER,

JW Meyers,
Lubbock, Texas,
rider on bull number two.

There will be no score
on JW Meyers,

as he failed to qualify.

Now our rodeo clown
Clete Lomax

moves in with a cape
to cape our bull.

Why don't we go south
of the border on this,

as our clown Clete Lomax
using the cape,

now gets him down
on all four here?

He's going to meet him
on equal terms.

You notice the bull,
he's digging a hole quickly.

Also, there's a man
in the barrel.

He's still in there.
Watch it! Watch it, Clete.

Where you goin', man?

HEY, LET'S SEE IF
WE CAN GO GET A COKE, HUH?

- WANNA COME?
- NO NO, IT'S OKAY.

- COME ON, BOB.
- Bull riding is the most
dangerous of our events.

The boys take
a little longer
in the bucking chutes

getting ready
for the ride.

We'll move along now
to our next bull rider

getting ready
in chute number seven.

[ tires screech ]

Well,
ladies and gentlemen,

here's the one
you've all been waiting for.

Let's go to chute number three
for Larry Mahan.

Bull, aught seven.

Larry scoots right up
close to his rope.

Watch chute gate
number three.

[ cowbell clanging ]

[ buzzer sounds ]

Clete Lomax moves in
with a cape

to get
the bull's attention.

The bull now belongs
to Clete, Larry and Wiley.

[ crowd cheering ]

But it's not over.

Let's go to chute
number six

and Charlie Thompson
from Lubbock, Texas,

and bull 222.

He is ready so watch
chute gate number six.

- 222 jumps right out
of the gate...
- THANKS.

[ crowd cheering,
whistling ]

Look out, Charlie.
He's coming after you.

That was a close call,
Charlie,

the way you hit
the ground.

And bull 222 has
dished out another hit.

Come on, Wiley,
get in your barrel
and walk up closer to him.

If he knocks you down,
we'll have Larry McKinney

pick you up.

Well, I guess
that bull's in a hurry.

You must've
scared him, Wiley.

They give us the signal to go
at chute number two

with James Orgaine
of Georgetown, Texas.

[ buzzer sounds ]

We have the score
on James Orgaine.

The judges give him a 68.

Wiley almost jumped
into the barrel.

Now he's coming back
to crawl in.

That's it, Clete,
keep him around the barrel.

Look out, Clete,
he's coming around your side.

We dare you
to do that again, Clete.

Hey, Clete,
why don't you show him

some of those smooth
matador moves with the cape?

He doesn't seem
to like you or Wiley.

He's going
for Larry McKinney.
That's it, Larry, show him

- some of that fancy footwork.
- SAY, ROYCE, HOW'S IT GOING?

Well, you've dazzled him,
so he's decided to leave.

WHERE YOU GOIN',
BOB?

HEY, WHAT THE HELL--
WHAT'S THE MATTER, BOB?

DAD, HERE WE ARE,

WORRIED THAT YOU MIGHT BE
IN SOME KIND OF TROUBLE.

NAW.

WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GO TO HELL!

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

HEY, BOB!

WHAT THE HELL'S
THE MATTER WITH HIM?

WHAT THE HELL
DO YOU THINK'S
THE MATTER WITH HIM?

COME ON, CLETE,
I DON'T WANNA HEAR
ANY YAPPIN' FROM YOU.

- BOB, WAIT A MINUTE!
- LEAVE THE KID ALONE.

I WORRIED MY ASS OFF
HALF THE NIGHT

WONDERIN' WHERE YOU ARE,
THE RODEO IS DAMN NEAR OVER,

THEY'RE JUST READY
TO TURN YOUR BULL OUT,

AND YOU DON'T WANT
NO YAPPIN' FROM ME.

WELL, YOU'RE GODDAMNED SURE
GONNA GET SOME.

I'M GONNA GO KICK
THAT LITTLE BOY'S ASS.
HE JUST TOLD ME TO GO TO HELL.

NOW GET OUT
OF MY WAY, CLETE!

IF YOU DO, IT'LL BE
AFTER THE FIGHT.

[ cowbell clanging ]

I'VE GOT
SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU
AND YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN!

- YOU'RE NOTHIN' BUT A--
- THE HELL I AM!

YOU'RE NOTHIN'
BUT A PILE OF TRASH,
AND I'M THROUGH WITH YOU.

ONLY TIME
IN YOUR WHOLE DOGGONE LIFE

YOU COME ANYWHERE NEAR
BEING SOMEBODY

AND YOU HAVE
TO MESS IT UP.

YOU'RE SO DUMB,
YOU DON'T KNOW
WHICH END'S UP.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
"COME 'ERE" FROM "SICK 'IM."

ARE YOU THROUGH?

YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I AM.

YOU STAY AWAY
FROM THAT KID,
YOU UNDERSTAND?

LET'S GO HOME,
BOB.

I DON'T WANT TO.

- BOB...
- DO AS YOUR MA SAYS, BOY.

COME ON.

...with no chance
for the score.

Wiley and Larry have been
having a ball out here.

Just for that
he gets to fight
the next bull.

[ crowd applauding ]

Ladies and gentlemen, don't
forget the big rodeo dance

in downtown Trancton
at the Civic Auditorium,

starting at 8:00 sharp.

There'll be a real fine
western band to entertain you,

and dancing will go on
until 1:00 PM.

HEY, CLETE.
GOD DAMN IT...

COME ON.

And they need the money,
so let's help them out, folks.

Well, we rolled in ahead
to chute two,

and the rider Clint Meyers,
El Paso, Texas,

is all ready to go
on Bull Redman.

He gives the nod
and here he comes.

OH, I THINK I'M GOING
TO NEED SOME ETHYL CHLORIDE.

- YOU THINK YOU CAN GET SOME?
- LEW, YOU READY TO GO?

- HEY, CAN YOU
GIVE ME A MINUTE, HARRY?
- OKAY, EVERETT, YOU'RE NEXT.

- ARE YOU READY TO GO?
- HELL YES, I WAS BORN READY.

THEY OUGHT TO TURN
THIS BULL OUT--

THEY'RE ALWAYS GOING
TO HAVE ANOTHER RODEO.

- [ crowd cheering ]
- [ cowbell clanging ]

- [ buzzer sounds ]
- There's the buzzer,

but Everett was on the ground
long before it sounded.

Man:
WHOO-HOO!

And out of the chute,
Rene Ramirez on Grego.

- [ crowd cheering ]
- [ cowbell clanging ]

[ laughter ]

EXCUSE ME,
MR. FERGUSON,

I JUST SAW LEW LATHROP
GETTIN' HIS GEAR OUT
OF THAT TRUCK.

ARE YOU SURE?

We'll go next to Lew Lathrop
of Trancton, New Mexico...

I'M GONNA GET THAT
SON OF A BITCH! DAMN!

Hey, Wiley, we've got
a real good one
coming out next.

WHERE'S
YOUR NUMBER, LEW?

MIGHT AS WELL
MAKE SOME MONEY.

[ cowbell clanging ]

CUT A LITTLE SLACK.

- Larry: THAT TIGHT ENOUGH?
- YEP.

LOWELL,
GIVE ME A HAND.

PULL. GIT UP!

- HOW TIGHT DO YOU WANT IT?
- YEAH YEAH, GOOD.

[ bull snorts ]

GIVE ME A PINCH OFF.

YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN,
BIG BOY. BEAR DOWN.

Okay, Lew Lathrop
up close to the rope.

OKAY!

- [ crowd cheering ]
- [ cowbell clanging ]

And what a wild ride
is goin' on out here,
ladies and gentlemen.

And Lew Lathrop in trouble,

down on the side
of that bull.

Watch out!

A clown is hurt.
Try to get him away from there.

Get his attention.
Get him away from there.

[ crowd murmuring ]

Get a rope on him.

Don't move him, fellas.

Let's have First Aid
and the ambulance

inside immediately.

Stay back,
give him some air.

Let the First Aid
take care of him.

GOD--
GET THE AMBULANCE IN HERE!

Come on, fellas,
get the ambulance in there.

- What's taking you so long?
- Man: OPEN THAT GODDAMN DOOR!

[ siren blaring ]

- GET 'EM BACK!
- GET OUT OF THE WAY,
GOD DAMN IT!

[ car horn honks ]

Lew:
HURRY UP!

GET THAT GODDAMN THING
OUT HERE, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

GET IT DOWN.
GET IT DOWN.

- GET AHOLD OF HIM!
- ALL RIGHT.

[ siren blaring ]

The winners of the average
of the two days

are bareback-riding winner
Larry Mahan;

winner of the calf-roping,
Roy Echevary...

Lowell:
HE'S DEAD.
HIS NECK'S BROKE.

Man:
COME ON, GUYS, LET'S GO!
ROLL THAT SLIDE OUT.

GET YOUR ROPE ON HIM.

I'M SORRY
ABOUT YOUR FRIEND.

YEAH.

HE'S DEAD, ISN'T HE?

YEAH.

I AM SORRY.

ROYCE.

YEP.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we're ready again for
the bull riding.

We're going
to go to chute eight and
Paul Pinn of Phoenix, Arizona,

had drawn Bull R-66.

He's ready
and he says "Outside."

That bull had his number,
and the bull dropped him
before the buzzer,

so no score on his ride.

Wiley and Larry,
while the action heats up,
this bull belongs to you.

What's that?
You don't want him?
Well, he wants you.

The way he's got
you guys dancing around,

it looks like
you're rehearsing
for the dance tonight.

Where you going, Larry?
Over the fence and dive out.

[ announcer fading ]

[ wind howling ]

[ cowbell clangs ]

LATHROP, I'M GOING
TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION

INTO WHAT
HAPPENED HERE TODAY.

I'M GOING TO USE
EVERY INFLUENCE I HAVE

TO MAKE SURE
YOU NEVER RODEO AGAIN
A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.

A MAN DIED OUT THERE
BECAUSE OF YOU!

DO YOU HEAR ME?
YOU ARE FINISHED!

THROUGH, LATHROP!
FINISHED!
