[theme song]

I don't like this, Johnathan.

I just don't like it.

What don't you like?

You don't even know what
the assignment is yet.

Neither do I.
- Yeah.

I don't know what
the assignment is,

but I know what
the job's gonna be.

That's what I don't like.

Oh, come on.

I mean, look at this country,
the rolling hills and pastures.

And horses.

That's the thing, horses.

What's the matter with horses?

I thought you grew up on a
ranch when you were a kid.

I did.

That's why I know what
I'm talking about.

They're killers, Jonathan.

They're vicious,
mean-spirited killers.

Mark, that's nonsense
and you know it.

Horses don't like me.

That's because
you don't like them.

Hey, if one thing horses
got, it's good instinct.

They got stink all right.

And there's nothing
good about that.

And flies.

I'm telling you,
horses come with flies.

We're gonna turn up here.

Why don't people ever
need help in Hawaii?

Now, look at that.

You gonna tell me
that's not beautiful?

Oh, well, the
girl's beautiful,

but the horse is
the fly factory.

How are you doing?

Just fine.

Well, that's a
beautiful horse.

Yeah, Bucephalus
is a great horse, got

the makings of a real champion.

We're looking
for a Mr. MacGill.

He's a trainer here.
- Yeah.

I know.
He's my father.

JOHNATHAN: Oh.

You in the market for a horse?

No.

Actually, we're in
the market for a job.

Oh.

I think you're
wasting your time.

We have all the help
we can use right now.

Can't hurt to try.

You never know.

All right.

Let me put this horse up
and we'll find my dad.

JOHNATHAN: Thank you.

You're quite a rider.

You ever compete?

Oh, just minor league stuff.

Well, you would've fooled me.

It sure didn't look like
minor league stuff back there.

Oh, thanks.

Getting to the Nationals, it
takes more than a rider though.

You need a great horse.

And those can run a
couple thousand dollars.

You can't exactly squeeze
that out of a trainer salary.

What about the
horse you were riding?

You said it had the
makings of a champion.

Oh, he does.

He's not mine though.

I wish he was.

He belongs to Garth Armstrong
Jr. That's the owner's son.

They shipped him over here
from Europe for the munchkin.

The munchkin?

Yeah.

That's what he was last time I
saw him about eight years ago.

He comes up to my shoulders.

Anyway, he went away
to school in Europe

and they shipped his
horse here ahead of time,

so we could work with him.

Oh, my name's Lizzy by
the way, Lizzy MacGill.

I'm Jonathan Smith.

This is my friend, Mark Gordon.
- Hi.

Hi.

Dadgummit.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi yourself.

Daddy, this is Johnathan
Smith and Mark Gordon.

They're looking for work.

I told them we didn't
have anything right now.

Not until about an hour ago
when two of the stable hands

quit.

That's why I'm alone
with this maniac.

You fellas know
anything about horses?

Yeah, a little bit.

Yeah, very little.

We're terrific gardeners though.

You got anything in gardening?

What's the horse's name?

MACGILL: Hurricane.

What else?

All right, Hurricane,
just stop, right there.

I wanna talk to you.

Hey now.

My name is Jonathan.

You scared of me?

Oh, now, come on.

There's no reason
to be scared of me.

I'm a friend of yours.

OK?

Now, listen.

How'd you like it if
I got on your back

and rode you a little bit?

All right.
All right.

I'll do that.

There we go now.

He's calming down a little bit.

I never saw anything
like that in my life.

JOHNATHAN: Just
the knack, I guess.

I speak a little hoarse.

He speaks a little human.

We understand each other.

Mr. Smith, you and your
friend just got yourself a job.

JOHNATHAN: Hey, thank you.

Come on.

I'll show you where you bunk.

Great.

Just great.

He's starting to settle
down, Mr. Armstrong.

Looks pretty good,
don't you think?

He ought to.

He cost enough.

He has some bad habits.

Mac, I want my son to
have a horse that's

gonna win him the National.

If Bucephalus isn't it,
let's cut our losses

and find him one that is.

If there's a champion in that
horse, we'll bring it out, sir.

That's what I'm
paying you for, Mac.

Yes, sir.

Whoa.

Easy, Bucephalus.

Easy, boy.

What kind of an idiot are you?

That's the dumbest stunt
I've ever seen in my life.

This is private
property, you know?

Who are you anyway?

Oh, come, come, my dear.

We've only just met.

Already we're having
our first tiff?

Hey, creep, don't
walk away from me.

This is private property.

I'm talking to you.

Hi, Dad.

Pretty flashy
entrance, wasn't it, son?

Son?

It's the munchkin.

That's the munchkin?

Oh god.

I guess he grew.

Listen, I'm sorry I
called you a creep.

I didn't recognize you.

Why should you recognize me?

Have we met or do you
just read the society

pages under the dryer?

Garth, you remember
MacGill's daughter, Elizabeth?

Lizzy the butterball?

Yeah.

I've slimmed down.

Yeah, and filled out.

Well, the old homestead might
not be such a bore after all.

Beautiful body.

Nice legs.

Remember, you're engaged.

Yeah, I was talking
about the horse, Dad.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Did I embarrass you?

No.

No.

Bucephalus is a great horse.

How does he handle?

Well, he looks good,
but he's spoiled rotten.

Really?

Yeah, really.

Likes to prance around
and show off his breeding,

but I can handle him.

I'm gonna go give him a bath.

I'll walk with you.

You can tell me
more about my horse.

Hey, what's wrong?

I guess good breeding doesn't
count for much after all.

Hey, hold on, Lizzy.

Let me explain something--

No.

There's nothing to explain.

You're engaged to another girl
and you made a pass at me.

And maybe that's the height of
sophistication in your book,

but it's not in mine.

Lizzy, there are three
things I have to do in order

to get my trust fund, finish
college, which I just barely

managed to do, win the Grand
Nationals, which I intend

to do, and marry Lane
Kensington, which I will be

forced to do in a few months.

In the meantime, I just thought
we could have a good time.

That's all.

You're disgusting.

You know that?

Hey, if my father wants to
force me to marry someone,

that's his business.

Where I find
happiness, that's mine.

I feel sorry for you.

Yeah?

Well, don't lose
any sleep over it.

Don't worry.

I won't.

[romantic music]

Hey there.

Yes, sir?

What's your name?

Jonathan Smith.

Well, Jonathan Smith,
what's the story on Lizzy?

I don't know what you mean.

Oh, come, come,
Smith, let's not be coy.

She got a boyfriend?

What's the story?

Oh, I haven't
worked here very long,

but I don't think she does.

Near as I can tell,
all she cares about

is riding in the Nationals.

She's going to compete?

All is not lost.

I didn't say she
was gonna compete.

I said she wanted to.

She told me she couldn't
afford the kind of horse

it would take.

No, I suppose not.

You know, I bet she'd
be pretty tough on a horse

like Bucephalus there.

Yeah, I bet she would.

Thanks for the
information, Jonathan.

You bet.

My feelings exactly.

Looks like that Armstrong
boy took quite a shine to you.

Really?

I hadn't noticed.

You're a lot like your
mother, Lizzy, rest her soul.

She wasn't much
of a liar either.

I don't think
there's much to be

concerned about where the
munchkin and I are concerned.

Well, I hope
you're right, Lizzy.

Hearsay.

Daddy, Garth Armstrong
Jr. is the last person

on Earth I'd think about
getting involved with.

That's the same thing
that your mother said to me.

Daddy, what I want is
what you had with mother.

And I don't think anybody
is ever gonna have that kind

of relationship with Garth.

I feel sorry for him
more than anything else.

Eat your food,
before it gets cold.

Yes, ma'am.

JOHNATHAN: What do you think?

Kinda cute, huh?

LIZZY: Whose idea was it
to gift wrap Bucephalus?

Well, I've got a note here.

It'll probably explain all that.

It's from Garth.

"Dear Butterball, if
you think you're so hot,

you ride Bucephalus
in the Nationals.

Though corrupting young
girls is a hobby of mine,

I know you're burdened
with scruples.

So don't consider this a gift.

Think of it as a
loan, just to ensure

I get some decent competition.

Garth."

I can't accept this, can I?

I don't see why not.

He just said it was a loan.

John, I'm gonna ride
in the Nationals.

I mean, I'm really gonna do it.

I gotta go tell my dad.

[exuberant music]

Woo hoo.

Daddy's around here someplace
where the Armstrongs.

If you see him,
will you tell him

that I went out
with the officials

to walk over the course?
- Yeah, OK.

OK.

Jonathan, um, you
better find out

what time the veterinary
advisor and the ground official

are gonna want to
test Bucephalus.

Right.
LIZZY: OK.

And Mark, get Bucephalus settled
in and brush him down for me.

OK?

Couldn't we do it
the other way around?

Let Johnathan take
care of the horse?

Now, you're gonna have to get
used to him sooner or later.

Besides, Bucephalus
is crazy about you.

Just pretending.

He's waiting to get me alone.

See you later.

Johnathan.

I gotta go see the vet.

Johnathan, I don't
like it in here.

You're gonna be fine, Mark.
You're gonna be fine.

I'm not gonna be fi--
Jonathan.

[whinnying]
Don't do that.

I don't like that.

All right.

Now, you-- lo-- you
stay away from me.

Look, I'm a cop, you know?

And I'm-- I'm an
expert in martial art.

I knew it.

Tried to kill me.

He-- he loves when I do that.

[neighing]

Hear that?

That-- that's a horse laugh.

[giggle]

MAN (PA): All competitors
to the starting area.

Please, all competitors
to the starting area.

Hi, Butterball.

Hey, you look nervous.

Relax.

Comes easy for
you, doesn't it?

Of course it does.

Oh, Lizzy, it's just
a game after all.

It's just riding around
on four-legged beasties.

It's not important
to you at all, is it?

Sure it is.

It means I get my trust fund.

Then, I don't have to worry
about achieving anything.

I can rest on my laurels
and my father's money.

Somebody ought to give you
a swift kick in your laurels.

It'll probably
never happen though.

You're probably
just gonna breeze

right through your whole life.

I hope so.

LIZZY: Well, I
feel sorry for you.

You have everything,
looks, talent, money.

None of it means
anything to you.

That's a horrible way to live.

Yeah.

It is a burden.

But it's my cross and
I bear it in silence.

What do you say loser
buys the winner a dinner?

If you lose, you can
treat me to a hamburger.

If I lose, we go to the
Tour d'Argent in Paris.

My hamburger against
a trip to Paris?

Yeah.

Or Rome or London.

MAN (PA): The next rider is
Lizzy MacGill on Bucephalus.

You're on.

So what about the bet?

Let's compromise.

Say winner buys a pizza.

Period.

MAN (PA): 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

[intense music]

[cheering]

Beat that if
you can, Munchkin.

Watch me, sweetheart.

The next rider is
Garth Armstrong on Jabar.

Nice riding, baby.

MAN (PA): 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

[peaceful music]

[neighing]

Ah, get with it.

Well, hail to the
conquering hero.

Where shall we go
for that pizza?

Are you kidding?

I'm not going anywhere with you.

What are you talking about?

You won, didn't you?

You set your goal
and you achieved it.

I thought that's what
it's all about to you.

How could you
just throw a tantrum

and walk off without even
finishing the course?

You saw what happened.

I had a refusal.

There's no way I could've won.

I feel the need for
a little fresh air.

Finish brushing Bucephalus
for me, would you?

Right.

Thank you.

Lizzy.

I don't get it.

There's no way I could've won.

Why knock myself
out for nothing?

Well, you could've finished
the course like a man,

instead of a spoiled brat.

Who do you think
you're talking to?

I'm talking to you.

Well, what's it to her?

Or to you, for that matter?

It's nothing to me, Garth.

Maybe it means something to
her, because, for some reason,

she likes you.

Oh, she does, does she?

Well, we'll see who's
in the winner's circle

when the finals come around.

Oh, and if you want to keep
that job of yours, my friend,

watch your mouth around me.

You got it?

I thought that
horses were stupid.

You know, that kid needs to
get knocked on his butt a time

or two.

Mark, I have a
feeling he's gonna be.

[country music]

Hey, get me another one.

I'll be with you in a minute.

If you want a tip,
I want some service.

I'm waiting on
another customer.

I said, I'll be with
you in a minute.

Hey, baby, how'd you
like to go to Paris?

How'd you like to
go to the hospital?

You talking to me?

That's right.

Well, I'm not talking to you.

Come on, rich kid.

Get up.

Hey.

Garth, old buddy,
it's getting late.

Time to go home.

Stay out of this.

Hey, Garth, I'm
trying to be nice.

You stay out of this.

Rich kid needs a lesson.

I know.

But I'm against teachers
hitting students.

Look, leave me alone.

Goodnight.

There you go.

What happened?

We had a little accident.

Your jaw hit my
hand, but I'm OK.

Oh, it's you.

Yeah, it's me.

Yeah, well, stay away from me.

Hey.

You're in no condition
to drive the car.

I said, stay away from me.

Look at this.

You gotta get this car serviced.

You know that?

W--

Come on.

It's a nice night for a walk.

Hey, you sobering up?

Yeah, little bit.

Sorry I had to
pop it back there.

But I figured it was
better me than him.

Yeah.

Guess I was a real jerk
back there, wasn't I?

Yeah, you were.

Always agree with
the boss's son.

Why?

Why what?

Why do you act like a jerk?

I'm not just talking
about tonight either.

Oh, I know.

You'd have to be a real
rich kid to understand.

Try me.

Well, from the time
I was a little kid,

I always heard everybody
telling me how lucky I was,

because my old man was loaded.

Self-made millionaire,
my father.

Made his first million
when he was 20.

Well, hell.

How am I gonna
compete with that?

I could bust my butt and
never come close to making

that kind of money.

So why try?

So I laugh my way through
life and act like a jerk.

Now, why would anybody expect
you to make as much money

as your father?

Besides, you don't measure
a man's success in life

by how much money he makes.

Oh, you do in the
circle I run in.

See, I'm gonna marry
a girl named Lane.

Her family's loaded too.

That's why we're suited.

See, rich marries
rich, so the families

are guaranteed that each
generation gets richer.

Do you love her?

No, of course not.

It's planned breeding.

You know, like horses.

Yeah, with one big difference.

You have a choice.

I do, huh?

Look at this place.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

If I do what my dad wants,
it'll all be mine someday.

Come on.

You're gonna tell me you
wouldn't wanna live like this?

Without love?

No.

And I don't think
you want to either.

Goodnight, Garth.

[bittersweet music]

All right.

I don't even wanna know.

I probably weigh a ton.

I went off my diet and
pigged out last night.

I probably gained a ton.

Why can't ice cream be low
cal and lettuce be fattening?

All right.

How much of a gain?

Nothing.

LIZZY: You're kidding.

No.

I'm not kidding.

As a matter of fact, you--

you've lost 10 pounds.

I did?

That's great.

Lizzy, have you been
taking any diet pills?

No.

You're telling me the truth?

Yes.

Well, I don't figure it.

All these years,
fighting to keep

your riding weight down and
then, all of a sudden, bingo.

Let's not look a gift
horse in the mouth.

I guess it's just nerves
thinking about the Nationals.

You could be right.

But let's keep an
eye on that weight.

OK?
- OK.

[knocking]

Oh, it's you.

You could've saved
yourself a trip.

I was just gonna bring
Bucephalus over to your place.

I had this early
doctor's appointment--

No.

I didn't come to
pick up the horse.

Oh, I figured
after yesterday--

What?

Because you chewed me out?

I deserved it.

You were right.

I acted like a jerk.

You're admitting it?

I just did, didn't I?

Yeah, you did.

Well, anyway, that's
what I came to tell you,

that you were right.

So see you around.

Hey.

I owe you an apology.

For what?

You didn't do anything.

Yeah, I did.

I misjudged you.

No.

You didn't.

I'm still a jerk.

But I'm working on it.

You still owe me a pizza.

That's right.

7 o'clock all right?

Yeah.

7 o'clock is
absolutely all right.

[romantic music]

All right.

There you go.

You're all set.

Johnathan, I don't like this.

Oh, come on, Mark.

You're never gonna get over your
fear of horses until you ride.

I'd just soon keep the fear.

All right?

Trust me, will you?

I don't trust you.
It's--

Come on.

Get on.

Go on.

I got a feeling I'm
gonna regret this.

Nice, horsey.

[neigh]
There?

You see?

He hates me.

JOHNATHAN: No, he doesn't.

Well, then, what was that?

He was just saying, hello.

Now, don't worry.

I used the stuff.

I got the stuff?

No, no.

The-- the horse
has got the stuff.

Oh.

[screaming]

Cute, Jonathan.

Cute.

Cute.

Well, Lizzy, you can
afford to eat pizza tonight.

I still think
this is a mistake.

Daddy.

People don't change overnight.

I'm telling you, Liz.

It's an act.

He's picked up the challenge.

I know young men like him.

And you know me.

So stop worrying.

I'm a father.

It's my job to worry.

He's a rich, spoiled kid.

He's also a person.

And people do change.

And didn't you
always tell me, don't

judge a book by its cover?

I wish you didn't
have such a good memory.

Does his fiancee
know about this?

Daddy, we are
going out for pizza.

Probably gonna spend the
evening talking horses.

[knocking]

I won't be late.

Would you get that worried
look off your face?

GARTH: You all ready?

LIZZY: Yep.

And I'm starved.

Have fun.

[door closes]

But not too much.

Better speed up.

You're running outta time.

I am not.

You're saying that
because I'm winning.

That's true.

[fanfare playing]

New record.

Beat that.
- No.

I can't.

I surrender.

There any pizza left?

But of course.

[giggling]

What?

Don't look at me like that.

I can afford to eat.

My weight's down.

Oh, that isn't the
look I was giving you.

What then?

I was just thinking
how much fun it

is to be with someone like you.

Someone like me?

Someone real,
someone I care about.

Uh oh.

What's uh oh?

My dad warned me.

He said that I was
another challenge to you,

just another conquest.

I'm just letting you know
that you're wasting your time.

Cause I don't swoon
over lines like that.

It wasn't a line and I
didn't expect you to swoon.

I made a mistake.

I tried to be honest with you.

I apologize.

I apologize.

I'm sorry.

Forget I said that.

That wasn't fair.

Apology accepted.

Come on.

I'm gonna beat you that game
if it's the last thing I do.

MR. ARMSTRONG: Garth.

You're up late, Dad.

I was reading.

Lane called.

Oh.

Wanted to know where you were.

There was a dinner
party tonight.

Yeah.

I had some thinking to do.

You were with the MacGill
girl, having a pizza.

I happened to ask one of
the boys if they'd seen you.

Yeah.

I owed her a pizza
from the other day.

This is a small town.

People talk.

Don't do anything to jeopardize
your marriage to Lane.

Oh, come on, Dad.

There's only one thing
that could jeopardize that.

It's very unlikely
you'll go broke.

I'll see you in the morning.

She's gonna be tough to beat.

She always was.

Garth, well, there's
my long lost fiance.

Oh boy.

Lane, what brings you out here?

Well, if the mountain
won't come to Muhammad.

It's been a few days.

I missed you.

Yeah, well, I've been busy.

I can see that.

What a beautiful horse.

Yeah, Bucephalus.

Isn't that the MacGill girl?

GARTH: Yeah.

She's quite a rider.

Is that all?

What?

Nevermind.

Your father and I were talking
about a wedding present.

And I couldn't make
up my mind until now.

Daddy, you know what I'd love?

That horse.

He's yours.

Wh-- but you-- you've
never been interested.

I'm quite a good
rider, really.

And since I'm gonna be
part of this family,

I think I should spend
more time riding.

It is all right,
isn't it, Daddy?

I said he was yours.

But I promised Lizzy she could
ride the horse in the Nationals

if she makes it.

Well, Garth, you'll just have
to find another horse to ride.

Oh, Liz.

Liz.

Hi, Mr. Armstrong.

MR. ARMSTRONG: Liz, do
you know Lane Kensington?

Sure.
Hi.

Hello.

Well, Lane has decided
she'd like to have

Bucephalus as a wedding gift.

We'll find you another mount.

Well, he's an
awful lot of horse

if you're not an expert rider.

I am, thank you.

As a matter of fact, I'd like
to feel him out right now.

Well, you be careful.

I'm always careful with
anything that's mine.

Garth.

I have some work to do.

LANE: Garth.

[laughing]

It was really hard to
keep a straight face.

I've never seen her with
a hair out of place.

Well, she was a vision.

I don't know what
got into that horse,

but he couldn't've
picked a better time.

Lizzy, you in here?

Well, she was upset.

She might've gone home.

I'll take care of the horse.

Thanks.

Lizzy.

Lizzy?

Lizzy.

What happened?

I don't know.

I just got dizzy.

Old Dizzy Lizzy.

Can you get up?

Yeah.

I just feel a
little lightheaded.

Well, you got your horse back.

What?

Bucephalus looked like he
was coming out of a chute.

Lane wants no part of him.

LIZZY: All right.

I'm sorry it happened.

I know.

But I'm still gonna
beat you on Saturday.

You know how I like my pizza.

Oh, Garth, Lane
is all cleaned up.

She's waiting for
you at the house.

Yeah.

I'm coming.

I'll talk to you later.

Hey, you're still not too
stead on your feet, young lady.

I know.

I've been feeling
kind of puny lately.

Look, why don't you let me
run you over to the doctor?

No.
I'll be fine.

Hey, don't be
stubborn, even though I

know you can't help it.

All right.

You talked me into it.

JOHNATHAN: Let's go.

Lizzy, you've dropped
another five pounds.

Keep this up, I'm gonna
be modeling for Vogue.

I'm gonna run a few tests, see
if I can track this thing down.

Maybe I just need
a few vitamins.

Maybe you just need
a few tests taken.

Yes, sir.

You gonna have to take blood?

Yes.

I'm gonna have to take blood.

Ew.
Yuck.

I hate that.

So the food is divine.

And you know how I'm about
desserts, especially--

Aren't you excited, dear?

Garth.

What?

Aren't you excited?

About what?

About the honeymoon, silly.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's almost time.

I'd better get ready.

Good luck.

Is everything
all right, Garth?

I've never seen him so quiet.

Oh, he's all right.

He's probably thinking
of the competition.

Jonathan.

Hey, Garth.

We were just going
to saddle up Jabar.

Oh, great.

Where's Lizzy?

She's second
stall from the end.

Thanks.

You know what you were talking
to me about, about living

in a big house without love?

Mhm.

You were right.

Hi.

Hi yourself.

Ready to get beat?

No way.

Oh, you're that
sure of yourself?

Yeah.

Well, maybe you'd
like to up the ante.

I would, but I
can't afford it.

GARTH: Hey, you just
said, no way you can lose.

I know.

But my dad taught me never
bet what you can't afford.

All right.

I'll make it easy on you.

You win, I buy the pizza.

If I win, you marry me.

Very funny.

Who's laughing?

[romantic music]

Lizzy, I love you.

If you do marry
me, I'll probably

get cut off by my father.

I thought you should know that.

But what the hell.

Pizza's not expensive anyway.

She's really quite
good, isn't she?

I wouldn't know.

Nice ride.

Thanks.

Looks like you're
stuck for a pizza.

That's where you're
wrong, former Ms. MacGill.

I never said it was a bet.

You never said
it wasn't either.

MAN (PA): Our last contestant is
Garth Armstrong, riding Jabar.

See you at the altar.

He is crazy.

You know that?

Yeah, about you.

[lively music]

MAN (PA): Our winter
with no faults

and the fastest elapsed time
is Garth Armstrong on Jabar.

MR. ARMSTRONG: Garth.

Garth.

Garth.

Mr. Garth's not here, sir.

He left about two hours ago.

Oh, he did?

Did he say why he didn't show
up at the awards banquet?

No, sir.

He left you a note.

The damn fool.

[knocking]

Mac.

Mac, are you here?

Mac, I want you
to know something.

This so-called marriage between
your daughter and my son

is not gonna do you
or her any good.

Do you understand me?

I'll cut him off
without a penny.

Mr. Armstrong--

MR. ARMSTRONG: Now,
you keep out of this.

Now, if you know where they've
gone, I advise you to tell me,

so we can stop this
before it even starts.

I'm not gonna have any gold
digging daughter of a ranch

hand moving into my family.

No.

No.

No.

[ominous music]

[sobbing]

What in God's name
is the matter with him?

I stopped by this evening
to give Lizzie and her father

the news about her tests.

Te-- wh-- what are
you talking about?

Lizzy has cancer,
Mr. Armstrong.
