just for sport?

- Dumbass peoplewith too much money.

- I called this guyI used to work for.

He works with VeterinariansWithout Borders.

This Gobi bear, she's becomea top priority for them,especially now.

He says he can send us therein a heartbeat, me and you.

- So you could actuallygo over there

and help save their lives?

- Yeah.

(Brochure rustles)

- What's this?- Oh, that's nothing.

- Um, have you talked to herabout Mongolia yet?

- No, I haven't talked to her,'cause I'm not going.

(Insects buzz)

Amy: We don't have to do thisyet, Grandpa.

We won't even need a new truckfor months.

Ty: No, we should go and look.

I'm hearing it from all sides,Amy.

Amy: Don't listen to everyone.This is your decision.

This is OUR decision.

Jack: Let's just have a look.It's not gonna hurt anything.

Amy: Grandpa, you have to stop.Jack: Stop what?

Amy: You have to stopthe truck.

Stop the truck.

(Truck rumbles to a halt,engine idles)

(Door opens,Amy blows out her breath)

(Breathing heavily)

- (Exhales sharply) I stillfeel sick when we drive.

When is that gonna stop?

- Do you want uh...

Do you want some candiesto suck on or ginger ale?

- Um... Ginger ale would begreat.

- Are you okay?- Yup, I'm good.

All good.(Pop tab snaps)

(Exhales forcefully)Ugh...

- Table 4? Burgers? Burgers.

They're not getting any hotter.Thanks.

Jade: Tim! If you'll justlisten to us for one second.

Lou's away, we knowyou're going crazy,

and we can help you.- And you can help us!

We wanna make some moneyand we've got the scheduleright here.

We planned it all out.

- Yeah, I'm sure you have,but I don't have time

to babysit youand teach you the ropes.

- I have worked at Maggie'sbefore.

- Well, I can't affordwhat you want.

- It's not even minimum wage!

- You've got rodeo school.

You've got Extreme Teamand school.

How're you gonna fit that in?

- If you'd just lookat the schedule,

you'll see how it all fits.

- I'm not gonna look atyour schedule.

I don't have time to lookat your schedule--- (Bell dings) Order up!

- I'm too busy to lookat your schedule.

- And that's why you need us!

We'll make your life easier.

- No, you'll make my lifeharder.

(Cell phone rings, Tim grunts)

- Oh. Casey, yeah. What is it?

I mean, hi. No, no, no,I'm fi--

What attitude? I...

Is everything all right?

(Truck rumbles)

(Engine shuts off)

- You know, Jack, you reallydidn't have to come.

- (Laughs) Oh yes, I did.(Doors bang shut)

No offence, Ty, but...you're a bit green,

so promise you'll take my leadon this.

You have to walk awayfrom these guys,

no matter what they say.

Woman over PA:Call on line 2. Line 2.

- You okay? (Phone rings)- Yeah, I'm good.

Bob again? Are you not gonnaanswer it?

- Ah, I'll just call him back.- Oh, uh, I forgot to tell you.

He came by this morninglooking for you.

I... Baby brain.

- That's okay.

- Are you avoiding him?

- No, I'm not avoiding him.

- Ty, I think you are.It's been days now.

- I've just had... other thingson my mind, that's all.

- 'Kay.

Salesman: Well, that truckof yours,

now there's a relic you don'tsee on the road very often.

Thinking about upgradingto something new,

like maybe a 1990's model?(Chuckles)

So... what can I show younice folks?

(Plate clanks)- There you go.

Hey. Guys, I-I have to leave.

Something's come up with oneof Casey's horses.

I-I'm very sorry.

- We can take over for you.

- Yeah, then you'll totally seethat we can handle it.

- Okay. Only for an hour, andthat doesn't mean you're hired.

(Music plays quietly,diners chatter)

(Truck rumbles)

Salesman: So you're expecting.Congrats!

Well, this is the most reliabletruck you could ever want.

Amy: Ty, just... stop the truck,please.

Ugh. I... I gotta get out.

(Truck rumbles to a stop,Door clicks open)

Ugh!

(Unzips cooler)- Just breathe, Amy.

Just breathe.Here, have a sip of this.

(Door shuts, pop tab snaps)

- Thanks.

Salesman: Lots of space, right?

Jack: No more space thanany other truck.

- Now, that's whereyou're wrong, sir.

I can show you a comparisonsheet.

- (Gagging)

- Uh... t-take your time.

No need to hurry backto the truck.

No need to hurry at all.

- (Sighs)- It's okay.

(Truck rumbles to a stop)

(Doors click open)

(Doors bang shut)

Salesman: Now, this looks likea brand new truck, right?

Well, I'm not gonna lie to you,it's not.

It's about a year old, but it'sgot hardly any mileage on it.

It was a weekend cowboythat owned it -

that is until the oil slumpcame along

and he had to give upthat nice little hobby.

Well, I don't think you'regonna find a better deal.

I promise you.

(Paper rustles)Woman over PA: Tom, you gota call on line 3.

Line 3.

- You know, to sweetenthe deal,

I might be able to give yousomething for that truck.

Maybe it's a collector's item,right?

- Not interested.(Paper rustles)

- Well, let's see how she runs.

- She runs just fine.

Let's go! (Door bangs shut)

- Thanks for your time.

(Engine stuttersand won't start)

(Truck rumbles,Cell phone rings)

(Snorts)

- Ty, yeah. What's up?

What do you mean?

Yeah, I'm busy.

No. No, I'm on my wayto Casey's.

Wha-What?You gotta be kidding me.

Well... where are you?

(Truck rumbles by)

Ty: We were test-drivinga truck just like you said.

- Oh, so this is my fault now.

- We wouldn't have called you,

but these dummiescan't find any cables.

What kind of a car lot doesn'thave jumper cables?!

- What're you doing here anyway?

I'm the one that knows howto drive a hard bargain.

- Oh really? Well, I'm probablythe one who taught you.

(Door slams shut)- Okay. You know what?

This is why we wantedto do this on our own

in the first place.

- Okay, fine,so you don't need my help.

- It's the blind leadingthe blind here.

I told you guys, get ridof your trucks. Trade 'em in!

- My truck is perfectlyall right!

- Let's see.(Engine turns)

- See? Perfectly all right.

And you can put those cablessomewhere else.

(Hood bangs shut)- Fantastic. Let's go.

Casey's waiting for me.I'm gonna be in trouble.

- Hey, we better go get thisbattery checked.

- Ugh! I cannot drive aroundany more.

Dad, can I come with you?

- Yeah. You're not gonna throwup in my truck though, right?

- Got my ginger ale.- I'm gonna go with Amy.

(Engine starts,Truck rumbles away)

- Hey! You forgot to takemy card!

(Truck rumbles to a stop)

(Doors bang shut)

Tim: Thanks for driving over.- What took you so long?

- Mm. Don't ask. I'm here.

You okay?- (Sighs) Not really.

Thanks you, guys. Tim saidyou'd take a look at my horse.

- Oh!- Do you mind?

- Uh, no, we don't mind. Yeah,it's the first we heard of it.

What seems to be the problem?

- Uh, he's, uh, just suddenlystopped eating.

It's been three days and...he loves his food.

I took him to my vet,

but they couldn't find anythingwrong with him.

He's just not acting likehimself, not by a long shot,

and I'm really worried.

- Okay, well,we can check him out.

- Yeah? Okay.

All right, I'm sorry,I gotta get back to Maggie's.

You're welcome.- Thanks, Dad.

- Next time you go to buya truck, take an expert!

(Door clicks open)

(Cody exhales sharply)

Ty: There's nothing visiblywrong,

There's no lumps on his neck,no swelling.

Hmm. I'm gonna have someX-rays done.

- I'll help you.

- No way, Amy. You're pregnant.

You can't go anywhere nearan X-ray machine.

- (Sighs) Right.

- I'll call Scott,he'll give me a hand.

- My vet did an X-ray,but like I said,

he didn't find anything.

- Well, it doesn't hurtto double check.

Do you think he can stay hereovernight?

- (Hesitant) Yeah, I guess so.

Georgie: Awesome.Jade: We'll see you soon.

Man: Uh-huh.Georgie: Enjoy.

Man: Hey, Tim.- Hi.

(Music plays in diner,diners chatter)

- Are you impressed?

- I'm surprised.

Jade: So...? Are we hired?

- No floods, no fires,no poisoned customers -

that's a good sign.

- What we bring to this placeis fresh eyes.

- You're hired.

But if you screw upin any way...

you're gone.

(Girls giggle, pleased)

Amy: Safe to come in?Ty: Yeah, we're all done.

- So what's going on?

- Well, I guess my biggest fearis that Casey's vet missedsomething.

- Like what?Scott: Like a tumor.

- It's like he can't swallow,

and that's probably whyhe's not eating.

A tumor is the only thingthat we can think of

that would cause that kindof obstruction.

- I sure hope it's not that.Casey would be devastated.

- I know.- Well, let's take those backto the clinic, look at them.

- Okay. I'll follow you.

- I'll go through my mom'sjournals,

see if there's anythingI can find.

- Okay, thanks, Amy.- Oh, Ty.

(Phone buzzes and dings)

Bob, again.

Are you guys okay?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Maybe you should answer it.

It might be important.

- I'll just uh...I'll talk to him later.

- 'Kay.- I'll be back as soon asI can, all right?

- Hey...

You're gonna be okay.

Scott: No sign of a tumor.

- That's the good news.

But there's obviouslysomething else going on.

(Phone rings)- I better get that.

Bob. How's it going?- It's going, brother.

- Hey...

What're you doing here?

I told you I made up my mind.

- I need to talk to youand you're ignoring my calls.

- Look, I got your texts,all right?

I know you want me to meetwith the Veterinarians WithoutBorders guy,

but there's no point.- Yeah, there is.

Look, I just got a callfrom Gavin.

Another bear was murderedthis week.

That's two bears, man.Two bears in two weeks,

and she was pregnant.

(Sighs) Look,I know you said no,

but you can't lose perspective.

Gavin's pumped, and we're idealcandidates for this.

We're young, we don't mindlong hours, crappy conditions.

He's coming into town tomorrowespecially to talk to us.

You can't turn your backon this.

Have you talked to Amy?

- No, I haven't,'cause I'm not going.

She needs me here.

- So what are you gonna do?Stay home,

put in your hours here,and wait for the baby?

- Yeah. That's exactlywhat I'm gonna do.

And I'm gonna buy a new truck

and I'm gonna be a responsiblefather. Amy deserves that.

- A new truck.- Yes, a new truck.

If... if I can afford it.

And if I can't even affordto buy a new truck,

how can I afford to leave thisgood paying job

to head off to Mongoliafor months?

I need all the money I can getbefore this baby arrives.

- You're going aroundin circles.

You gotta get it together.

- Thanks for that advice, Bob.

- Just talk to Amy. Please?

If anyone in this whole world

would understandwhy you need to do this,

she would.

(Horse snorts)

(Hooves clop)

(Keyboard key clacks,horse grunts)

(Keyboard key clacks)

(Approaching footsteps)

- Guess what? Tim hired Jadeand I to come work at Maggie's!

Isn't that great?

(Birds chirp outside)

Oh, so you know!That's awesome!

It was so hard to keep ita secret!

When did Ty tell you?

- When did Ty tell me what?

- Uh...

(Duck quacks, birds chirp)

Come on, Cody,you've got to eat.

No? We'll try later.

(Gate creaks open,bucket thunks)

- So the X-rays,

they're fine.

There's no tumor,the throat's clear,

just like Casey's vet said.

- Well, that's good news.

- Yeah, it is great news.

Um, how's he doing?

- Well, much the same.A little bit more relaxed.

- Yeah?

- Hey, Ty, is there somethingthat you wanna talk to me about?

Something to do with Mongolia?

- (Sighs) Bob didn't call you,did he?

- No.

- Georgie told you.

- Yeah, and I'm glad she did.She filled me in on everything.

- Well, I can't go, Amy.I don't wanna leave you.

I won't leave you.

- We should at least talkabout this.

- We don't need to 'causeit's not happening.

- Ty, we promised to tell eachother what was on our mind;

to not keep secretsfrom one another.

You can't tell me that youhaven't been acting weird

the last few days.Avoiding Bob...

- Of course I'm avoiding Bob.

He wants me to go with him!That's all he'll talk about!

And now he's set up a meetingwith this Gavin guy

from VeterinariansWithout Borders.

Look, I can't go, Amy.

It's the last thingI should be doing!

- Ty, this sounds likean amazing opportunity.

- It is, I know.

And they need guyslike Bob and I.

Believe me, I would be on aplane like yesterday if I could.

This trophy hunting crapmakes me crazy.

- If this is somethingyou really wanna do,

you should do it!

- (Laughs) Amy, I can't go!

You're pregnant! I'm not gonnaleave you here alone.

What kind of guy would do that?

- I'll be fine.

- Amy, we both know thingsthat can happen,

things that aren't planned.

- I know. But I've got a lotof people here

who can help me out.

If this is somethingyou wanna do,

you should do it.

- You're saying I should go?

- You've supportedmy dreams 100%.

Why wouldn't I do the samefor you?

(Birds chirp)

(Rooster crows in the distance)

(Ty sighs, bedding rustles)

- Hey.

Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Look, I know what we saidlast night,

- Ty--- but I can't do it, Amy.

Listen, okay?

When I first heard about this,honestly, I wanted to do it.

I mean, how could Ijust stand back

and watch somethinglike this happen

and not do anything about it?

And I appreciate your support,Amy,

but I can't leave you.

I don't wanna miss this.

- Well... okay.

But I don't think you shouldmake the decision that quick.

I think you should, at least,go and meet with that guy.

- Who, Gavin?

- Yeah, just...see what he has to say.

It might make the situationa whole lot clearer.

- (Sighs)

(Harsh whinny)

(Hard thud)

(Thudding footsteps,forced grunts)

(Latch clicks)

- Amy!

Easy now, easy.

Okay...

This is bad.

(Harsh whinny)

- Here you go, sir.- Thanks.

This is deadly.

If we're gonna be runningthis place,

we need to make it more fun.

- We're not actuallyrunning it.

- Yeah, but we needto make it cool.

A place where our friendswanna hang out.

We need to change the music,give it a vibe.

- I don't think Tim's upfor a vibe.

- Tim wouldn't realize whata vibe was if he felt one.

Remember what he said?Fresh eyes.

- Actually, you said that.

- And I was right.

(Country music plays,diners chatter)

- Ugh! Look at all this,stuck in his throat.

There's definitely a blockage.

Casey: Hey! How's my boy doing?

(Approaching footsteps)

Oh my God. What's happening?

- We looked for a tumorin the X-ray.

- A tumor?!- No, there's no tumor!

But there's somethingdefinitely going on

because there was a tonof grass and hay

stuck in his throat,literally choking him.

I got most of it out,but he still can't swallow.

- Can we do something?

We can't have him choketo death.

- I promise that won't happen,Casey, okay?

I'm gonna give himsome antibiotics

in case there's a riskof aspiration pneumonia,

and I'm gonna make surehis throat is clear.

But right now I needto keep him calm.

- C'mon, Casey.Let's leave him to it.

- (Worried sigh)

(Cody groans)

(Harness jingles, Cody grunts)

I can't lose Cody.

That horse has seen methrough everything.

I was shy, he was shy.

We gave each other confidence.

Once I started riding him,

I became top rankedin the country,

in the money at allthe big events.

- That's amazing.- It was.

And he was as excitedabout it as I was.

He couldn't wait to race.

Only thing we didn't competein was the Stampede,

that was next.

And then I met Hank.We got married.

I decided to help himfollow his dream

of running his own rodeos.

- So you gave up your dream.

- No, I just...

decided to quit barrel racing,that's all.

(Birds chirp)

- You never made it to Stampede.

- Nope.

- Do you have... any regretsabout giving it up?

- No... not really... I guess.

It's a funny thingabout regrets.

They just... pop into your head

after years of not eventhinking about it at all.

And those regrets usuallyjust...

get bigger than they actuallywere at the start.

It's the one thing Hank and Ifought about years later.

(Chuckles softly)It's funny.

(Birds chirp,grass crunches underfoot)

(Plastic tubing thunks,Ty grunts)

(Inhales and sighs)

He's all clear now.

- I can see that.

You look exhausted.

- (Sighs heavily) Yeah, I am.

- Ty, I think we both gotcold feet this morning.

If you don't follow your heart,you are gonna regret it,

and so will Ifor holding you back.

We will be fine.

- Okay, Amy, can we justdrop it, okay?

- No. Ty, think about it.

Once this baby is born,

you are not gonna be ableto go and do stuff like this

because then I reallywon't let you.

So now is the time to do it.

- (Chuckles softly)

(Sighs heavily)

(Birds Chirp)

- So, Tim, tell everyonehow great

Jade and I did at Maggie'stoday.

- Well, you didn't screw up.(Jack chuckles)

- It was fun.- Yeah, well, we'll seehow much fun it is

when you do it every dayof the week,

every week of the summer.

- It'll still be fun.- Well, we'll see about that.

- (Clears throat)So, everyone, um...

Ty and I have somethingthat we... want to tell you.

- (Deep breath)Yes. Um... So...

I've been seriously consideringgoing to Mongolia.

- Wow, Ty!You're really doing it!

- There are these bears,uh, Gobi bears.

Um, I'm gonna sign up withan organization

that's working to helpsave them from extinction.

I'm not too sure exactlyhow long it'll be--

- Probably just a few months.

- This is amazing!

- It is, except for the factthat these bears

are being slaughtered for sport

and there'll be noneof them left

if something isn't doneabout it.

So Bob and I,we can do something.

We can make a difference.

And it's not just aboutthe bears, actually.

Their nomadic cultureis also under threat,

so we'd be dealing with herdhealth and breeding techniques.

So not only would we be helpinga nearly extinct animal,

but potentially savingpeople's livelihoods.

- I'm so proud of you!- So am I.

- (Clapping)

- Gobi bears? Mongolia?

Have you completely lostyour mind?

- Dad, just listen.

- No. I don't wanna hearanymore about this!

What kind of a husbandleaves his pregnant wife

to run off to some insanelyremote country

on an idealistic fantasyto "save the Gobi bears"?

Give me a break!

- They're in danger!He's going to save them!

- Ty should concentrate on whathe needs to do around here!

Wake up, you two!

You're having a child!

That's something you shouldtake a whole lot more seriously

than the plight ofthe goddamn Gobi bear!

(Irritated huff)And, Amy,

you are in no state, obviously,

to make a rational decision!

- What is that supposedto mean?

- I can't believe this!

I mean, now I have two idiotson-in-laws

abandoning their wivesat the worst possible times.

- Okay, everybody,just calm down.

- Okay, I'm not abandoninganyone, all right?

And you know what?

I don't need to takerelationship advice from you!

My marriage is strong.

Amy and I have talkedabout this.

I love her and she loves me,and we're gonna make itthrough this.

- Oh, please! I don't even knowwhy I talk to you,

because you don't listen to meanyway.

This is the worst decision

that you have ever made!

I'd damn well re-think itif I were you!

- Tim... Tim!

- Dad, this is not just Ty'sdecision, okay?

Th-- (Door opens)

This is... this is our decision.(Doors bang shut)

(Crickets chirp)

(Ty sighs)

(Cody grunts restlessly)

(Hooves clop restlessly)

(Covers shift)

(Approaching footsteps,Cody huffs restlessly)

- Hey, boy. How're you doing?

(Light switch clicks on,crickets chirp outside)

Hey, Jack.

Look, I um...

I'm sure you have an opinionabout this decision.

You were pretty quietat, uh, dinner there.

I'd like to know your thoughts.

- (Sighs heavily)

(Crickets chirp outside)

- I get it if you're not happyabout me leaving

while Amy's pregnant.

- That's part of it.Not all of it.

I can see that this whole thingmeans an awful lot to you.

It's obvious that you thoughtabout it long and hard.

And I know you and Amy didn'tcome to this decision lightly,

'cause it wouldn't be likeyou guys if you did.

I also know thatyou'll have regrets

if you don't go on this...

this mission.

But you'll have regretsif you do.

You know, it makes me proud

that you and Amy are ableto share this office.

It's good to share things.

I probably should've shareda lot more with Lyndy.

I was off on the rodeo circuit

for months at a time.

I left her on her own, Ty,

when she was pregnant, so...

You wanna talk about regrets?

- But if I don't do this--

- I know. You'll never do it.

- It's not just that.

I have never felt so...

(Sighs)

I don't know how to say it.Um...

I've never felt so compelled,

so driven, about anything.

About the bigger picture.

About injustice.

And maybe...

I don't know -maybe that's why...

I don't want my child,our child,

to grow up in thiskind of world.

I need to go there.

I need to help do somethingabout it.

- Okay.

I get what you're saying,

but the other part is this:

for me,

it's like having a songo off to war,

for all I know about Mongolia.

- I promise I'll come back safe,Jack,

in one piece.

- You can't promise that,

and that's what's troubling me.

You know, in the end,

it's you and Amy thathave to figure this out.

It's not up to me or Timor anyone else

to tell you what you shouldand shouldn't do.

The decision's yours.

Just make the right one.

- Poor Ty.

There was a complete familymeltdown last night.

Tim really tore a strip off him.

So just a heads up,

our boss is gonna be in ahorrible mood this morning,

so can we just lay lowwith our ideas?

- Um, no. I think we needto tell Tim

that we could give Maggie'sa much needed new image.

- You don't even knowhis current state of mind.

We could be completelyoverstepping our bounds.

- Bounds. Shmounds.

I've been posting and tellingall my friends on-line

that they need to comespend time

at the new hip spot in town.

And, this morning, I woke upwith a fabulous idea.

- (Sighs heavily)

(Footsteps thud, rooster crows,Amy sighs)

- Did you get any sleeplast night?

- No. But I finally figured outwhat's going on.

I kept thinking thatI was missing something,

so I enlarged the X-rayand had another look.

You see that right there?

That's an abscessin his back molar.

Half the tooth hasjust fallen away,

leaving this really jagged edge.

And that's what's causeda massive lacerationin his tongue.

- (Sighs)- Both the abscess and the cut

are so far back in his mouth

that the initial X-raymissed it.

- Poor guy.

Geez, he must be in anincredible amount of pain.

Probably why he can't swallow.

- Or chew.- So what're you gonna do?

- Well, the abscessed toothis pretty loose,

so I'm gonna remove itand stitch up his tongue.

- (Sighs)

(Rock music plays,diners chatter loudly)

- Sorry.

- Word gets around fast, huh?

(Loud chatter)

Isn't it awesome?(Door opens)

- Huh.

Man: Aw, forget it, too noisy!

(Music blares)

(Tim sighs heavily)

(Rock music plays,diners chatter loudly)

- You're supposed to be workingwith me, not against me.

- I don't get whyyou're so upset.

The diner has never beena more fun place to be.

- My friends love hangingout here now.

- Oh yeah! Sure they lovehanging out here!

What's not to love? They cansit around and talk for hours

over a plate of friesand endless soda refills.

And free wifi?!

Come on, it costs themnext to nothing to be here.

It's costing me everything!

I want this placeback to normal...

(Jar clunks) Now!

- That's that.

- No it's not. (Sighs)

We need to show Tim howsuccessful our ideas can be.

- We should just quitwhile we still have jobs.

(Rock music plays,diners chatter loudly)

(Bird chirps,Stethoscope clunks)

- So how did it go?(Gloves snap)

- Good.

It's gonna take some timefor the sedation to wear off,

but it went really well.

I removed the abscessed toothand stitched up his tongue.

- I'm so glad you found it.

- Yeah, it was easy to miss.

I'm sorry we didn't find itsooner, Casey.

- So when can I take him home?

- Uh, I'd say give him'til tomorrow.

Um, I wanna make sureeverything starts to healthe way it should.

- Oh... You're gonna be...

back to your old selfin no time, aren't ya?

So just... call me anytime.

- We will.

- And... don't let Timget you down.

I mean... we all know him.

He gets super stressed outabout things

and then he sees reason...usually.

So don't give up.

- Thanks, Casey.

- See ya.- Bye.

Gavin: It's great that you guysgot in touch.

This is a program that dependscompletely

on that kind of passion.

Everyone involvedfrom the assistants,

to the interpreters,to the vets

donate their time and skills.- Mm-hmm.

- It's the only waywe can exist.

- I... And I totally respectthat.

I do have to say thoughthat, um,

Amy and I, we're expectinga baby, so...

- Oh wow! Congratulations!- Thanks.

- Thank you.It begs the question,

if Amy were to need me, or ifthere were any complications...

- There won't be.

- But if there were...- You'll be on the nextflight home.

I promise you.

Bob: Well, sounds fair,right, man?

(Birds chirp)

- Yeah, it does.- Well, come on, let's sign up!

- There's one more thingI gotta do

and then I'll get rightback to you.

(Clipboard clunks)- Mongolia.

Wow!(Cat meows)

- Yeah. Look, Scott.

This is something thatI really wanna do,

It'll only be for a few months,

and I fully intend to come back

and take my positionat the clinic,

if you agree, of course.

- I understand.

This is a passion projectfor you.

And I'm sorry I-I never got todo something like this myself.

I...

I don't know what to say.

Are you okay with all of this?I mean...

- Yeah. This is the one time

that Ty's gonna be ableto do something like this.

I'm fine with it.

- Okay.

I'm probably gonna regret this,

but I think the benefitsfrom this trip

will make you a better vet.

So... your joband your partnership

will be here waiting for youwhen you get back.

(Hands clap)

- Thanks, Scott.- Of course.

(Truck rumbles)

Ty: I'm still worriedabout your dad and Jack.

Amy: I think we have to ignoreall the outside noise

from my family.

(Truck accelerates)

Ty, stop the truck.

- Okay, hold on. Just a sec.

(Truck rumbles to a halt)

(Doors open)

(Door bangs shut)

(Gravel crunches underfoot)

- Here.- I don't need it.

I'm not the least bit nauseous.

(Kissing)

I just wanted to kiss you

and I couldn't do thatwhile we were in the truck

in case you drove off the road.(Chuckling)

We both know that we haveprecious cargo on board.

Ty, I am so proud of you.

You're gonna do an amazing job.

(Kissing)

- So it's only for a few months.

- Bob and I are exactlythe type of guys

that they need right now.

And I believe that if no onesteps up to these situationsthat--

Tim: The world as we know itwill fall apart.

- This is a great opportunityto do something.

- Dad, if he doesn't do this,he'll regret it,

just like Casey does.

- What? What about Casey?

- She never told you?

She gave up her rodeo career.

She used to be one of the topbarrel racers in the country.

- She quit'cause she got tired of it.

- No. I think you shouldprobably ask her

why she gave it up.

She still wishes she hadn't.

And I'm not gonna be the oneto stand in Ty's way.

Grandpa, you should understandthat.

Grandma Lyndy wasn't oneto bubble wrap herself.

I mean,

she enjoyed her freedomwhen you were on the circuit.

- That is not true.

She was miserablewhen I was away.

- Yeah, so miserablethat she toured

and wrote songsand recorded them?

- Yes, okay, she did do that.

- (Chuckles)

- Well, it's funny that you saythat because...

Lyndy wrote a song when shewas pregnant with your mom

and it was sucha beautiful song.

I wanted to give it to you,but I couldn't find it.

- I know exactly where it is.

(Chuckles) This one?

You used to play this for meall the time when I was a kid.

- Yeah, see, there it is."When to Let Go."

Th-that's the song.

- (Chuckles)

- Yeah, one of the prettiestsongs she ever wrote.

- Except she wasn't exactlysitting around,

waiting for you to come homefrom the circuit.

She was probably happyto have her freedom.

- (Chuckling) Yeah,you're probably right.

I was a pain in the buttwhen I wasn't on the road.

- I really want Ty to do this.

- I know you two will lookafter her while I'm gone.

(Cell phone buzzes)

- What's this about?

Open Mic Night tonight,

at Maggie's.

I'm gonna kill those kids.
