So I put it out... with ketchup.

(Horse whinnies)- (Grunts in pain)

- Did you loosen Olivia'ssaddle this morning?

Is that what I saw you do?- (Nervous laugh)

- As of today,Samantha is on suspension.

In the meantime, I'm gonnachoose a new headliner,

- Well, aren't we the keener.

- We both know how importantthis practice is.

- Yeah, Natalie's finally gonnapick me as the headliner.

- I have just as good a chanceas you do.

Sam: The only reason eitherof you has a shot

is because you ratted me out.

You turned the coachagainst me.

- No one ratted you out.You did that all on your own.

At least she brought youback from suspension.

- Yeah, but I'm stillin her doghouse.

- You're right.

I'm still ticked off aboutthat stunt that you pulled,

but that's not why you won'tbe the headliner.

You've missed too manypractices.

So, yeah, I'll be pickingsomeone else.

Believe me, it wasn'tan easy choice.

Only two of you are even closeto being ready.

Georgie...

you're gonna be my backup...

to Olivia.

- Oh my God! I'm the headliner?!

- If you're readyto do the work.

- Yes, I'm all in! Thank you.

Natalie: All right,let's get to it then.

You need to learnthe tail drag.

- Really? But that's,that's kind of, uh--

- Challenging?

Yeah, that's the point.

- Congrats.

- Thanks.

- Be careful, okay? The taildrag's really dangerous

for someone at your level.

- My level?- That's not what I meant.

- You're just jealousthat she picked me.

- Oh, you gotta be kidding me!

(Customers chatter)(Music plays on the radio)

- Hey.- Hi.

- Hi. What- what are these?

- For the Foothills CowboyHall of Fame banquet.

- I, yeah, but I-I just need one.

- Yeah, but what aboutyour students?

I mean, it might be aninspirational eveningfor them, you know,

make them aspireto greater things?

- Yeah, all right, all right.

Can I pay you later for them?- Yes.

- You could sell steakto a vegan, you know that?

- I know. (Kiss)

(Door opens)- Bye. - Bye.

- Hi.- Hey.- Oh, Saturday night.

Clear your schedule.- Oh family dinner?

Nope. Tim's got a surprisefor you.

- Your aunt's a persuasive lady.

I just boughtthe whole team tickets

to the Rodeo Hall of Famedinner. That's yours.

- I'd rather you got me somebig-time sponsor like Jade.- What?

- How'd you do it?- He didn't.

Chuckwagon Soups approached me.

And by the way,I won't be needing a ticket.

They're hosting the eventand I'm a special guest.

- I don't get it.You're not even a pro yet.Jade: There you go.

Well, they wantedan up-and-comer to bethe face of the company.

- What about me?

- Guess they wanteda pretty face.(Bell rings)

- This is becauseyou're a girl.

- It could be...

or maybe they just thinkI'm better than you.

Either way,I'm totally stoked.

Tim, get him whateverhe wants. It's on me.

- Oh! Um...- Oh!

- I'm pregnant.- Well, congratulations.

- Thank you.- That is fantastic news.

As a matter of fact,I happen to have a cigar...

No, wait a minute, the husband'ssupposed to give me the cigar.

Where's he at?- He's in Mongolia.

- No, he's not.Where is he? Ty!

- Yeah, I'm afraid he is.

It's a long story and I willfill you in, I promise,

but I want to see grandpa'sface when he sees you.

- Oh, I'm not surehow many I need,

'cause I'm still thinkin'about it.

I'll let you know.(Chuckles) All right.

- Casey again, huh?(Phone beeps off)- (Groans)

- Honey, tell her howmany tickets you want

and she'll stop calling.

- Well, I'm not sureI want any.

- You go every year! Come on.

- No, I'm serious.

I don't like how they'rerunnin' things this year.

They shoulda already announcedwho the inductee is

instead of waitin''til the actual night.

It's a dinner.It's not a murder mystery.

- Okay.- They're just tryin'to sell more tickets.

Amy: Oh, grandpa...- Yes, what is it?

Will: I'd recognize thatsurly voice anywhere.

- Well, look what the windblew in here!

- How ya doin'?

Well, you said you hadan extra room

if I ever wanted to swing by,

so here I am, old buddy,I'm swingin' by.

- Okay, we'll start real slow.

Now I want you to gentlylay back, flat out,

right over his butt.

Okay, you're too rigid.

Loosen up. Let yourself go.

Let yourself- Okay.- (Nervous whimper)

Natalie: Really stretch out!

- (Terrified gasps)No, I'm stuck! Help!

- Okay, okay, calm down.

- I'm gonna fall!

Natalie: Can someone helpOlivia up?

I have to hold the horse.

- (Frightened gasps)- (Grunts with effort)

Here!

- Ah!- Uh! (Hard thud)

Here!- Don't help me!

- Sorry.

- (Pants)

- You okay?

- She's fine. Right, Olivia?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

- All right, let's try it again.

- Just as an option.

There are a few other trickswe could do,

like the Stroud layout?Or the full fender...

- We're going withthe tail drag.

You're not scared of this,are you?

- No! Uh, just we could trya few tricks

that I'm more suited to,'cause I am the head--

- You're the headlinerbecause I said so,

because I thoughtI saw something in you,

but here we are learning thefirst stages of a new trick

and you're already quitting?

- I'm not quitting.

- I need a rider with guts.

- Georgie, you're up.

- What?- What?

- Unless you have a problemwith the tail drag as well?

- Uh, no, no! Not at all.

Natalie: Good.

Then you're my headliner.

- No problem.Is everything okay?

Georgie: Uh, yeah, actually,

I think I just made headlinerfor the Extreme Team.

Jade: Seriously?!- (Happy exhale)

- Way to go, kid!

- Thanks!- That's amazing!

- What? What's amazing?

- I was picked to be ExtremeTeam headliner.

My coach wants me to dothe big finish

at this season's show.

- Fantastic! That's whatyou wanted, right?Jade: That's awesome!

- Yeah, it's justa little weird.

- What? What's weird?

- Just the way it happened.

She chose Olivia first,but then got all mad

when was complainingabout this trick,

so then she changedher mind and chose me,

but I was gettinga lot of dirty looks,

especially from Olivia.

- Well, of course.They all wanted exactlywhat you wanted.

- I just read thisin a science journal.

It said people who gravitateto sports are actually born

with a gene that makes themmore competitive.

- You know, I bet Clay McMurtryhas that gene!

I wish I coulda seenhis stupid face

when he saw my billboard.

- Billboard? What billboard?

♪ ♪

- Wow! It's incredible!

No short shorts this time.

- No, and that's gonna happenwith these people.

They are so straight-laced,

but I'm totally okay with that.

This deal means I can finallyafford to get my own place.

- You're moving outof your mom's? Again?

- I already contacted Caleb.

His trailer's been empty sinceMitch moved off the property.

- Wow, some serious deja vu.

Jade: Which mean I'm havinganother house warming party.

So, tomorrow night -be there, both of you.

- Okay.- The rodeo school guysare already coming,

so you should invitethe trick riding girls too.

- Okay, well,

the Extreme Team and Iaren't so close right now,

but I can put it out there.

- Cool.

(Sighs) Well, I better get back.

- Great. Partying withthe rodeo crowd.

- Come on, it'll be fun.

Things are so awkward withExtreme Team right now.

I think this will help.We should go.

- Sure, why not.

It went so well last time therewas a party there.

- Just stay away from Oliviaand it'll be okay.

Tim: Well, they saidyou were here,

and if I hadn't seen itwith my own eyes...

- Well, I'd ask howyou're doin',

but I can see everything's okay

in your little neckof the woods.

- Casey McMurtry, Will Vernon.- Hi.

- Well, now there's a rodeoname if I ever heard one.

It's very nice to meet ya.Sorry about your taste in men.

(Everyone laughs)

- Well, you got me there.

Will: Now are you the ladythat has the tickets

for this Hall of Fame deal?

- You're in luck. My companyalways gets a batch to sell.

- Oh, great. Can I get two?

One for this fella right here?

- Oh, great. Now I have to go.

Will: (Coughs)

I think you'd find your waythere

whether I helped youor not there, Jack,

'cause this could be your year.

- You know what?I don't even care anymore.

Will: Yeah, right.

- Nothin' but one bigcash grab.

- Seems to be workin'pretty nicely.

Jack's been downon the Hall of Fame

since I got in before he did.

- Oh, no, that's not true.

- It's the only time he didn'tmake it to the banquet.

- That's becauseLou was in labour.

- False labour.

- No, I don't likethe tone of this.

The whole point of thisHall of Fame deal,

you're supposed to get togetherwith old friends

and talk about belt bucklesyou didn't win,

and rodeo queens he didn'tquite catch and all that.

Remember that time in Airdrie?There's a good example.

We had that party up thereafter we won the team event,

and you were in the cornerin the kitchen--

- Stop. Now's not the timeto be talkin' about that.

- Really?

- Georgie, why don't you tellthem about your news?

- What news?

- Ah, looks like I'm the newheadliner this season.

- Oh, that's exciting!- Well, good on ya!

- You don't seem excited?

- Well, I am. It's just,I kind of feel bad for Olivia.

- Really? Why?- Well, she was picked first,

but then she got all nervousabout the trick.

- What's the trick?

- Actually, it's the tail drag,

so I could use your helplearning it.

- Georgie, the tail drag?At your level?

No, that's way too dangerous.

- Well, I can't say no unlessI want to end up

on the sidelines like Olivia!

- Well, that's better thanbreaking your neck!

- Can we talk about this later?

- Yes, we definitely will.- Okay.

Actually, I have another favorto ask.

Jade's having a partytomorrow night.

Lou says I'm not groundedanymore,

so I'm okay to goas long as you pick me up.

- Okay, I can do that.What's this party for?

- Oh, it's her new sponsor.

She just moved back intoCaleb's trailer so...

- Wait second, back up.

Say that again?

(Door opens)

- Can I get you boys some tea?

- Actually, no, I'm gonna...

I'm gonna hit the hay.Do you mind?

That's what I'm gonna do.

- Okay.- Getting old now.

You know Jack.

Last time I saw him he said,"Oh, I just got married,

to the most beautiful womanin the world."

Well, he wasn't lying.- (Chuckles) I'm sure.

- He did. Anyway...

- That's sweet of you.- Hey...

Apparently you don't feeltoo old to flirt.

- You gotta leave mewith somethin'.

Night.Lisa: Night.

He's charming. (Chuckles)- Yeah.

- Yeah, it's nice surprisehaving him here,

but I gotta tell yousomethin' doesn't feel right.

- What do you mean?

- Oh, he keeps bringingup the past

and he's tellin' old stories

and talkin' about old friendsand...

- Oh, honey, that's kindanormal.

That's what we doas we get older.

- Well, okay, but why would hehave come all this way

just to go to a dinnerhe doesn't give a damn about.

- I don't know.

Well, why do you thinkhe's here then?

- Well, a few years back

another old rodeo friendof mine -

well you remember him - Eli.- Oh yeah.

- Well he dropped in outof the blue

so he could tell mehe was dyin'.

Maybe if it was donein tandem as a hippodrome

with a second rider ableto control the horse.

- That's not risky enoughfor Natalie.

If I don't do this she'll justmove on to the next girl.

That's the kindof commitment I need.

I couldn't even pull myselfback up into the saddle.

- Well, like I said,

we have a long way to goif we want to nail this trick.

- I'm sorry,but Olivia's right.

I think we shoulddo something else.

I'm sure I'll find somebodyon this team

who's up for the challenge.

you shouldn't make themdo the tail drag.

I really planning ondoing well this year

and helping to boostyour company's profile.

- (Chuckles)Well, that would be nice,

but it's even more importantthat you represent us with...

with class.

Class and integrity.

- It's a promise.

- I can't believe whatI'm hearing.

You quit the Extreme Team?

You were gonna bethe headliner!

Georgie! Sit down.

- Dad, this is one timewhen I think quitting

was the right thing to do.

I'm proud of Georgie forstanding up to that coach.

- Well, how bad could she be?

- It... You know, I'm-I'm prettymuch all talked out about this.

I'm gonna go change.

- This isn't a good thing!

I thought being a partof that team was a positivething for her.

- I know, but since thebeginning this coach has been

pitting the girls againstone another

and destroying their confidence.

Now she wants them to dothis crazy trick.

- Did you tell Lou about this?

- She wants me to go talkto the coach,

which is actually whereI'm headed right now.

- That's a good idea.I'll come with ya.

- No, it's, it's okay.

I can handle it on my own.

- No.

I believe it's too advancedfor these girls.

- Oh, I see.

That's where Georgiegot all that bluster.

What's wrong withchallenging my team?

What's wrong with separatingthem from the pack?

- I understand that you wantthe most out of them, but...

- But you're gonna get 'emkilled out there.

You can't put their safetyat risk.

I have a rodeo school.I know something about this...

- Are you kidding me?!

You're here to talk to meabout safety

and you put your kidson broncs?!

- I don't put 'em broncsuntil they're ready.

I encourage themto challenge themselves,

not to impress me.That's not coaching.

You and Tim went and talkedto her?!- We were just trying--

Natalie: Don't be upsetwith them.

They actually made me

re-consider my entirecoaching style.

Maybe I have been a bittoo hard on the team,

but it's only becauseI see so much potential.

To be honest,way more than I ever had.

I woulda killed forhalf of your talent.

- Really? Well, then...

You've never saidany of that to us, ever.

- I know.

And I've lost the teambecause of it.

Can you help me get them backfor one more practice?

I just want have a chanceto say my piece.

They'll listen to you.

(People chatter)

- Jade!

- Well, hey, I was juston my way home

to get ready for the big eventtonight.

- That's what I came to seeyou about.

You can keep your ticket,

but I won't need youto promote the company.

- But you're the main sponsor.

Shouldn't I be doing something

as the face of Chuckwagon Soup?

- I saw that video,with you, the beer funnels.

Not cool. Not for our brand.

- Okay, I know that was stupid-- Yes, it was.

I told you we want someone withclass and integrity.

- I can get that videotaken down.

- It's too late for that.- I'm really sorry!

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,

please give a warm welcometo this year's presenter

of the 2016 Foothills CowboyHall of Fame inductee...

Will Vernon!

Guests: (Applaud)Woo! All right! Yay!

- What the hell is he doin'up there?

- Just pay attention.

- Thank you, everyone. Hey.

Well, it's been a long time

since I've seen a lot of ya'sin this room here.

It's been nice to be backwith you again and...

you know, this is a great honorfor me to be able to present

this year's inducteeinto the Hall of Fame,

except for the fact thatI have to do a little speech.

Guests: (Chuckle)

Will: So what I thought I woulddo is start right about now

and list all hisaccomplishments,

but then I was afraid thatwe'd be here all night.

So suffice it to say that

this year's inducteewas a champion.

He's a champion in team ropin'and saddle bronc, bulldogging...

You name it, he done it,and he done it great.

He's a true all-around cowboyif ever there was one,

but it occurred to me thatall the things that he didaccomplish

inside the ringand in the arena,

were really nothingcompared to what he uh...

contributed and whathe brought to the fraternity,

and what he's donefor me personally.

I'll never forget, uh...

It's not a one of wordof exaggeration

when I tell youthat he saved my life.

and it was at a point whenI didn't feel like my life

was worth saving.

He's a true friend, and, uh,

in my mind he's the embodiment

of what great about this lifeand about the rodeo.

And sometimes, you know,

when you have to waitfor somethin'...

it finally comesand it's all the sweeter.

So ladies and gentlemen,

put your hands together thenfor this year's new member

of the Foothills CowboyHall of Fame -

Mr. Jack Bartlett!

All: (Cheer and applaud)Yahoy! Yeah! Woo! Woo!

Good job! Woo hoo!

(Sharp punch)

(Applause)

Tim: Hey, Jack!

- (Laughing)

All: (Applause)

Will: That's yours, pardner.

Jack: Look at that...

Oh my Lord.

Guest: Woo!

Jack: Thank you, my friend.- You betcha.

- Oh boy.

Well...

I am mighty gratefulfor this honor, believe me,

and I can't lie.

I have wanted to be a partof this...

this brotherhoodfor a long time now!

Guests: (Chuckle)

- Now here we are and uh...

and I'm...

You know, earlier today my...my loving wife, Lisa,

she gave me full permissionto bask in my glory days.

(Guest chuckle)

And she assumed that that wasthe greatest time of my life,

but that's not actually true.

Yeah, don't get me wrong,

oh, I loved my daysin the rodeo,

especially the memories,

they've lasted a lifetime,

but, you know,being a Hall of Famer,

it wouldn't mean anything to me

if I didn't have my family

and my special friendsto share it with.

So I want to thank them,

and you all know who you are,

for making these days,

the here and now,

the true glory daysof my life. Thank you.

All: (Applause)Tim: Oh, yeah, yeah!

Guest: All right!

- Way to go, Jack!- Way to go!

Guests: (Applause) Bravo!- (Laughs)

- Hey.

- Hi.

(Door shuts)

- Well, the place looksa lot better

than last time I was here.

- I just threw a party,

and the way you saw me in thatvideo, that's not who I am.

I was just blowing off steam.

It was only one night.

- That may be true,

but you're in the public eyenow, Jade.

You don't get to takea night off...

not if you're gonna beour spokesperson.

- What? I thought I was fired?

- We've been getting a reallypositive response to you,

better than any promotionwe've ever done.

So my bosses were pretty upsetthat I let you go.

It's my job on the line now...

if I can't get you back.

- Well, you don't haveto worry about that.

I am so in.

And I promise I won't doanything to screw it up again.

Deal?- Deal.

- Okay, first off, thanks foragreeing to hear me out.

I want to start by sayingI'm sorry.

I guess I can be prettydemanding and strict,

and I know I have some prettycrazy expectations,

and I guess I got a littlecarried away.

Okay, maybe more than a little.

I have to remind myself thatyou're all still learning

just like I'm still learninghow to be a good coach.

So...

what do you say?

Will you give me another shotat this?

- We all miss Extreme Teamand we want to come back

but the headlining trick--- No, I know, I know.

You're not comfortablewith the tail drag.

And I did pick youas the headliner,

so I'm willing to hearwhat trick you want to do.

- I still think it shouldbe the tail drag,

but the safer version.

Two riders in tandem,

one doing the hippodromeso they can control the horse,

and the other doingthe tail drag part.

I think Sam should be the oneto do the tail drag.

She's still the strongestrider on our team

and she can pull herself upno problem.

Olivia and I can take turnsdoing thee hippodromeat each show.

- How's that soundto the rest of you?

Okay, so let's get to it.

- Hey.

Thank you.

Will: Great party last night,great friends.

It really makes a man startto think that maybe,

well, just maybe,

I've shut myself too far offfrom the rest of the world.

- Oh, well, it's not too lateto expand your horizons.

You're not dead yet, are ya?Let me look.

- Despite what some peoplethink.

- (Chuckles)

- But I was thinkin' maybe...

I'd go outside my comfort zoneas they say,

maybe, uh, I drop inon the ex.

- Couldn't hurt.Couldn't hurt at all.

Natalie: (Clicks tongue)

Okay, girls, let's try thisat a slow trot.

- Way to control the horse,Georgie!

Give it a try whenyou're ready, Sam!

(Door bangs shut)(Chortles)

What do you thinkshe's gonna say?

Probably something like...

"Hello, Will, I'm glad youfinally made it."

- Yeah?

Well, I hope so.

Listen, thanks, Jack.
