Tickets, tickets tickets...I've got them right here in my...

Whatever happens, it's all about how you look at it.

Yeah, and who you look at it with.

You're looking for some tawdry, shallow fling to get over Kris.

I'm not your rebound girl.

Do you think that she can make you forget about Kris?

Listen to me. I'm your shrink, I'm your priest, I'm your homeroom teacher.

I'm like family now.

It'll be fine. Be fine.

Oh, my God. Please tell me this is just a dream.

I bet we've got $60,000 damage here.$60,000?

Come on!

That was awesome.The winners!

Lisa's pretty good.I'd say Dani Davis Farms is off to a pretty good start.

I want to talk to you about my future here. Dani's asked me to train her horses.

You'll never guess what I found in the basement.

Remember that bottle of champagne we were saving from the wedding?

We were supposed to have that on our 20th anniversary.

We need to talk about last night. It was a mistake.

A turkey sandwich with coleslaw, to go.Thanks.

Kris!

Hey.Hey, stranger.

Haven't seen you in a while.Yeah, just been working. So what's going on?

Just trying to get Matt to start up game night again.

We all get together and watch college hoops at Raintree.

Oh, that sounds great. I've been so busy working I don't have time to hang out.

Yeah, me too. Club's a big party, but it's all strangers.

I never get to hang out with my friends.

We can't have game night at Raintree. My mom's there.

Especially after what happened last weekend.What happened?

Oh, that's right. I forgot. You weren't there. Sorry.

Oh, last Saturday night, we took a couple of horses out to the hot springs.

Didn't get back till 4 in the morning.

Sounds like fun.

Yeah, it was, until we woke up Matt's mom.

I would have asked you to come, but...

I knew you were in training.

Are you gonna eat this sandwich with us,

or you got better places to go?No, you're stuck with me.

Good.

Hi.Kris, have you met

Rebecca, Junior's friend?Hi.

Hi.Uh, I'm in your seat.

Oh, no, no, no. I'll just get a chair.No, no. It's okay.

Move over. You can sit right here.

I have to go anyway, so it's fine.No, come on. We've got room.

No, it's okay.

You see who I see?

Oh, my God. Is that Hal Berney?

The one and only. What's he doing here?

What everyone else is doing: shopping for a horse.

He certainly goes through 'em fast enough.

I don't like his style. He races 'em too young.

Pablo, we have the winningest trainer in North America at our stables.

Sell the man a horse.

No, I want on-air camera time for all 4 horses.

Otherwise I pull Sunshine Master and Kubla Kahn, and you don't have a race.

Try me.

I'll look forward to the show.

Hi, I'm Jean Ritter. Welcome to Raintree.

This is Pablo Betart.Hi.

Hi. Oh, I think I've heard of you. You're a horse therapist.

Right?I'm the trainer here.

Oh, okay.Want to check out the chestnut? He's got a great stride.

Actually, I'm here to meet Kerry Connelly. He wants me to look at a jock.

Kris?That's right. Kerry said I should swing by and meet her.

Yeah. She's at the practice track.Okay. Thanks.

I'm not sure Kris is ready for Hal Berney.

I knew this day would come.

I just didn't think it'd be so soon.

Very nice. Kris, come on over. I want you to meet Hal Berney.

Hi.I enjoyed watching you ride. Very graceful.

Light hands. That horse isn't bad either.

Did you see these 2 win a few weeks back?

No, but I love that hot sauce ad.

I hear they expanded it to 14 markets.16, this weekend.

She's taking off.Congratulations.

Thanks. I've got to get going,

but I'll see you at the race next weekend.

Well, I'll see you before then.

I need a jock tomorrow morning.

I've got a late 2-year old, King of America. He's a real baby.

Shy. Likes women riders.

Kris is great with difficult horses.Plus the 16 markets can't hurt.

Maybe Kris can help me put this horse on the map.

Are you interested? Are you kidding me?

Done. Kris?

Good. I'll be there.

5 a.m.?

What's this about?

You have any idea how many jocks would kill for a chance to ride for him?

He doesn't want a jock. He just wants the hot sauce girl.

I know you'd rather ride Wildfire for Jean and Pablo,

and I understand that, but if you want to take your career to the next level,

Berney's your man.

Okay. The truth?

I'm kind of counting on this one. I went out on a limb to get you this job,

so just give it a chance.

Okay.Thanks.

Hey.Oh, God, I missed you!

I missed you too.Are you busy?

Um...Let's go someplace great for dinner.

You know what? I have to wait for Todd.

He's at astronomy club,

and, um, evidently,

Neptune hasn't been so close to the Earth in 97 years.

Well, when the planets align, seize the moment.

Let me...

Let me put these roses in water.

They're beautiful.

There's absolutely nothing.

There's not 1 apartment that I'd like to rent.

Well, can't you just stay at your parents' for 1 more month?

They sold their house. My dad's retiring to Marin County.

Pizza's here.

Dinner's served.

Coming!

Hey.

Thank you.Whoa, bro. Not so fast.

Your credit card was rejected. I'm gonna need some cash.

Oh, sure. Sure.

Well, this is a first.Here. Don't worry about it.

Oh, it's just a temporary cash crunch.

Pretty much everything I have's invested in the club. Here you go.

Thanks, bro.All right. Good night.

You need money?No, no. I'll be fine.

Soon as I pay my rent.When's it due?

4 days ago.Oh, that sucks!

Yeah!

Okay, I know. How about I pay half?

Um, stuffed-crust pizza's one thing, rent is another.

I'm not saying that I'd loan you the money. I'm saying I'll move in.

Huh?Well, I need a place to stay,

so I'll pay half until I find one.

You mean, you want to be... roommates?

Well, unless you don't want to.

No, no, no. Uh, that'll be fun.

And romantic.

And cheap.

You know, it could mess things up between us, though.

Or it could make them even better.

♪ Maybe we'll take a train

♪ Uptown or down either way ♪

These Spanish wines are really going through the roof.

You remember when I got you that wine-making kit?

Oh, my God!

He got me this wine-making kit, and the wine we made...

Was horrible!Ooh!

Oh, wow. This is a bottle I haven't seen in years.

1986. This is a great year.

I'll be right back.

Pete found that bottle of champagne. We bought it a long time ago.

We decided to drink it the other night.

Oh.

How was it?

It was good. I wish you'd been here.

Anyway...

cheers.

How did you like King?

He's a nice horse. I like riding him.

Your hands were heavy. You looked a little stiff out there.

Okay.You were a different rider on Wildfire.

Look, you're not interested. I get it.

Kris, you're the one who's not interested.

I never said that.No, but your ride did.

Let's face it: You think I'm all about market share and corporate sponsors.

And you're right. Training isn't just about horses anymore.

So why do you still do it?

Because I still get to wake up every morning at 4 a.m.

and train the greatest athletes in the world.

I live for my horses.

They are the most important thing in my life.

Look, I think you're right for King.

The question is, is she right for you?

When's the next race?

Saturday. You got 3 days.

How'd it go with Berney?Okay. He's not so bad.

He gets results. I'll give him that much.

Yeah, but he loves horses too.

I think there's more to him than just winning.

He believes the answers come from the trainer, I believe the answers come from the horse.

Hey.

He asked me to ride for him on Saturday.

But it's up to you.No, not anymore.

You got to start making your own decisions.

I'd like to try.

Okay. Hey, Kris!

Hey.Can you believe this girl?

She's going major league before our very eyes.

Major league or not, she's a great rider.

Lighten up, Pabs. It's a big day.

Come here. I'm proud of you.See you later.

Bye.So long.

What's that look?

I don't know. It's just weird riding for a trainer I don't really know.

You can still ride for Pablo,

but you have to get used to riding for others.

You're on your own path now.

Hi. I'm taking a bath.

You know what?

I'm feeling a little dirty myself.

Ready or not, here I come.Hey!

Hey, my tub is not your tub.

No, I'm sorry. A girl has to have some boundaries.

Okay.

Wow. Who's this guy on the couch?You mean Lars?

I don't think it could be anyone else.

I've had him since I was 3. He follows me everywhere.

Right.

Liz Manning. You like it?

Yeah, it's great.

It's great. Um, what happened to the Audioslave?

And my bean bag chair?I had to move it to make some room for my stuff.

Does it bother you? 'Cause if it does, you can tell me.

Well, to be honest, I...

Ooh!

I, uh, I'm really loving this.

Me too.

Hey.Hey.

What's up?

You're working for Hal Berney?

That's so awesome!It's okay.

But his way of doing things is a lot different from how we do it.

Oh, I know.

You like him, though?

A lot of what he says makes sense,

but some of it seems wrong-- it's just not the way I learned things.

Maybe you're feeling guilty.

I know I did when I went to go work for Dani.

Are you glad you did?Oh, yeah.

What are you doing tomorrow night?Nothing.

Want to go to the club?Yeah.

That dust jacket must be riveting.Huh?

You've been reading it for 20 minutes.

Jean, I have to ask you,

did something happen with you and Pete?

What are you saying?

If it did, just tell me.

I don't understand why you're asking me that.

Well, Pete was over here.

You had a bottle of champagne.

Look, Pete and I spent

a lot of time together while his mother was sick.

On a really good day, we're barely friends.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Hey, easy.

Let's go again.

Okay. Starting positions. Let's go again.

Let's go again.

So on Saturday's race, we'll hold King back in the pack,

then let him sprint the last quarter mile.

Mr. Berney, I don't think your horse is ready to race.

He's too young. He needs more time.Listen to me.

The next 6 months of King's life decides how he spends the next 20 years.

He wins, he retires to a nice stud farm.

He loses, he gets sold off at auction,

and all that's left of him is a 6-pack of glue sticks in someone's desk drawer.

Remember, King wants to win too.

We can't let him down.

Yeah?

Hi.Hey.

Just come to see how it went with Berney.Oh.

He has a different philosophy than Pablo's.

I just... I don't know who to believe.

When you're riding one of Hal Berney's horses,

there's only one philosophy, and it's not Pablo's.

Excuse me.

Hello? Hi, Marty.

What problem? Yeah, I did push you.

It's just... No, it's just, I can't help it.

He saw her ride. He wanted her.

Yeah, I do represent her, but...

Come on. I got you booked 2 weeks solid.

Okay.

Bye.

Everything okay?Yeah, it's just, uh...

one of my clients is upset.

You got fired.

Marty Rodriguez thinks that he should be riding for Berney.

Instead of me?

Well, I'm not gonna lie to you.

I have bet a lot of chips on you.

But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Don't worry. I won't let you down.

Kris.I just wanted you to know

that we need some more wraps and splint boots.Okay.

Is everything okay?Yeah, why?

I don't know. I just think

Pablo's disappointed that I'm riding for Berney.

I was just wondering if you are too.Oh, no.

I'm sorry. I've...

I've been distracted lately. What's going on?

I just feel caught in the middle.

I mean,

Pablo's taught me everything I know, but I also like some of Berney's style too.

That's okay.

Pablo doesn't expect you to do everything the way he does.

I know. But I just sort of feel

like he thinks I'm just riding for Berney because he's famous.

Are you?No!

I mean, he's taught me a whole new way of looking at things.

It's not always bad to push a horse.Listen.

Trust yourself.

I know that Pablo's gonna understand

as long as you're honest with yourself.

Hang on one sec.

It's Charlie.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Everything okay?Yeah.

Yeah?Do you think Junior and I will be friends?

I think you guys need to go your separate ways,

figure out what you both want.

You're probably right.

I was thinking I should stop by his loft and talk to him.

I don't know if that's such a good idea.

Why? I haven't seen it yet, and he told me to stop by.

That was before...Before what?

That was before Rebecca moved in.

I'm sorry. I thought you should know.

Remember, you and I went through this,

and we're friends now, right?Yeah, we are.

Hey. Hey!

Hey, what's going on?

Well, since you're not having game night, I decided I am. Saturday.

You guys in?Yeah, as long as you come to my race.

Cool. See you in the winner's circle.

Hi.Hey, Charlie.

I was wondering if you'd mind taking Todd

to karate in the morning.

Your mom could use the extra rest.

Okay.Hey, Matt.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey.

Hi.

Yeah, I know. You smell another horse, don't you?

I don't like it either.

But it's not really cheating if you're honest about it, right?

Come on. You'll always be center of the universe.

Ha-ha! Missed you.

Hey. What are you doing here?

I thought you were working late tonight at the club.

Oh, I traded shifts with Kelly. Thought I'd make you dinner,

and we could watch a movie or something.

Or we could just go to bed early.

That could work.

Good.

What's all that stuff?

Oh, it's just makeup. I couldn't find a place to put it, so I just

kind of, you know...

Hello. Hey! What's up, man?

That's right. Game night is back.

All right. I'll see you then. Bye.

"Game night"?

Yeah. A bunch of friends come over, we all watch college hoops.

Hey, you should come, unless you're busy Saturday night.

Yeah, actually, I am. I...

I invited some people over for a girls' night in.This Saturday?

Yeah.I just invited 10 people over.

Well, you could have asked me first.

Well, you could've asked me. It's my place.

But I'm paying half the rent.Then how come your stuff is taking up all the space?

I thought you liked my stuff.But there's a lot of it.

Everywhere.

Saw you riding this morning.Yeah, I was trying to get to know your horse.

And?And nothing. Why?

I get the sense you know something you're not saying.

Hey, I looked past the hype

and the sexy tank top and the girl-out-of- prison story.

I know you got a brain in your head. Tell me what you think.

I think you're right. Your horse isn't too young to race.

He just doesn't like other horses.So?

So holding him back tomorrow won't work. Let him lead the pack.

You mean, sprint?Well, it'll make him run harder.

The last thing that he wants is to let the pack catch up with him.

You let a horse sprint, he better have the biology and the bloodlines to win.

And I'm talking horse royalty. The only think royal about King of America is his name.

But you're not paying attention to who your horse is.

If you want to win, you better listen to me.

This is about breeding and bloodlines, not horse psychology.

Hey. What's up?Hey.

This guy charged me for a load of oats we never got.

So how's it going with Berney?Okay.

He's got me on a 2-year-old that likes to run.

I think he's a sprinter, but Berney says no.

He's the trainer. He makes the call.

Yeah, but he's not listening to the horse.What do you want me to tell you?

Berney tells you how he wants you to run the race.

If something changes when you're out there, then it's your call.

Are you scared of him?

A lot of people are.Well, I'm not.

Good. And good luck.

If this is gonna hurt our relationship in any way, I don't want to do it.

This is not about me and you.

It's about what kind of rider you want to be.

Are you ready to go? I'll walk out with you.

Naw, I'm gonna be here for a while.

Like, how long?Like, all night.

Things aren't going so great with me and Rebecca.

It's like it's not even my place anymore. She's got all these

pillows and candles, there's hand lotion everywhere.

'Cause she's a girl and she moved in with you.

I know. I still really want things to work out.

Look, I know you.

If you really, really like this girl, all the little things that you're complaining about,

the candles and the hand lotion

and the pillows, you just wouldn't care.

I know that you're trying to move past Kris

and find someone else, but...

maybe you've locked yourself in too fast.

It's me.

Just thought I'd come and see how you are. Ready for the big race tomorrow?

Nobody expects this horse to win. You've just got to make Hal Berney happy.

I don't know if I can do that.

You know, after the Sandpiper, I felt like

I finally had a place to fit in.

And now I have my doubts. I just...

guess I'll always be an outsider.

I know what you mean.

When I first went off to college,

I decided I could be anything I wanted to be.

So I reinvented myself.

I got a different haircut, different clothes. Everything was different.

I told people that I was Kerry Connelly.That's not your real name?

No.

No. I was Garfield. Garfield Caruso the Loser.

See, Kerry Connelly was gonna be invited to all the cool parties.

Was he?Yeah.

But he didn't like it.

He was a loner. He just felt anxious all the time.

And...

did you make that feeling go away?

It goes away when, um...

when I make a connection with a person who feels just like me.

And suddenly...

you don't need anyone else.

It's like, that one special person

makes me feel... invincible.

I'd better go to bed.

Yeah.

You know, before, when I said that

the only thing you have to do is to make Hal Berney happy?

That's Kerry Connelly talking, your agent.

It's all about your career.

But Garfield Caruso, he's all about you.

He knows you can tell what a horse thinks and needs

better than, well, Hal Berney.

So who should I listen to?

You should listen to your agent.

Night.See ya.

Hey. Come back here.

Oh, no. I've got to take Todd to karate.

No, you don't. Matt's taking him.

How'd you do that? Did you give him money?

No, I promise. Not a cent.

Although I did have a 20 ready.

Hey. Thank you.

Wow, a whole Saturday morning

with nothing to do!

Boy, I could get used to this.

Well,

I'm... hoping

that we both can.

Marry me, Jean.

I don't know what to say.

All you have to say is "yes."

Hey, I love you.

Oh! I love you.

I love you so much!

That's all we need to know.

I slept with Pete.

No.

Ugh!

I had to tell you. Please don't go.

How could you do this?

How could you just trash everything we had together?

What was I to you in all this, huh?

Was it just something to do until this jerk came back to you?

No, Charlie. Listen to me. I love you.

Yeah, well,

you don't love me enough not to have slept with him.

There's a sprinter.

Caspian Star.

He's gonna come out fast and lead.

But don't challenge him until the three-quarter pull. Otherwise we're dead.

Okay.

I know you can do it.

This is just the beginning.

Hey, guys.Hey, buddy. What's up?

The horses are ready.

The flag is up. And they're off.

Hold him back. Don't panic, just hold him back!

Come on! Come on! Let's go!

Come on.Go!

All right!Go! Go!

Let's go, Kris! Bring it home!Go, Kris!

King of America out in front.

And it is King of America!

All right!

We always knew this horse loved to sprint the outside.

It was a risky move to let him, but I had faith in Kris and King,

and they didn't let me down.

Congratulations, champ. You earned it.

Kris, you were amazing out there.

We did it.

Yeah, we did.

I'm fielding some great offers for next weekend.

I'm gonna ride King next weekend for Berney.That's just one race.

You've got to get used to riding 4 or 5 horses a day.

But I'd rather just ride King.

I really didn't want to spoil your big day.

You're not gonna ride King anymore.

Berney's dropping you.What?

But he told me I did such a great job.

No, that's what he told the reporters.

He said to me you were supposed to hold back until the last quarter mile.

I won. I'm right.

I know.

But you went against Berney. It's over with him.

I'm sorry.Nah.

I know how hard you worked to get me this job.

Should have listened to my agent.

I'm sorry.

I'm not.

Where were you last night?Oh, I was crashing at the club.

I just needed to think some things over.

Are you having second thoughts about this?No, no.

I... I want this to work out.

I've been thinking everything over, and

I just realized

the pillows, the music, the smelly candles,

even game night, it's all just small stuff.

It doesn't really matter,

and...

I can't do this.What?

I know it's just small stuff, but... I can't get past it.

I just don't think I'm ready for this.

I think I need to be on my own for a while.

I'm sorry.

Great, well, my friends are coming over tonight.

Yeah, mine too. I never ended up canceling game night.

We could just have a party.How could you do this to me?

Is it... Kris?

Are you still hung up on Kris?

No. No, it's not Kris. It's... It's me.

I...

I don't know what I want.

No, you just...

you just know what you don't want.

So much for game night.

I'm gonna get us a few drinks, okay?Mm-hmm.

Hi.Hi. I like the place.

That's a cute dog.

That's Lars. I've had him since I was 3.

So are you gonna get a drink?Matt's getting me one.

Well, have a good time.Thanks.

Hey. You made it.

So what do you think?

How could you not tell me that you were living with her?It's not what you think.

Oh, right. How could you be living with her

when just a little while ago you were begging me to come back?

I was almost broke, and she was helping me with the rent.Oh, come on.

Besides, it's over now. She's moving out. We broke up.

Kris, you can't ask me this stuff anymore.

And I can't ask you.

Sorry.

You okay?

Yeah.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna try being on my own for a little while.

I can't believe that you brought Kris to the party.I gave Kris a ride.

You showed up with her. That says something.Yeah, and I'm leaving with you.

Doesn't that say something?

Hey, hands off my sister. Put your cups in the air.

Excuse me. I'm enjoying that.Uh-huh. Here's to Kris,

winner of the Sierra Classic.Congratulations.

Thanks.The game is on.

Let's dance!

Hi.Hey. What are you doing here?

Dani invited me. She wanted to talk about some of my clients.

Oh. If you have work stuff, don't let me stop you.

I'd rather have a 1-on-1 conversation and a burger at Ray's.

Interested?Yeah.

Come on.
