This morning's farm report is brought to
you by...

...cattle loads at a one -and -a -half
-week

low... ...one -eighths.

Feedlot sales were very slow and then
very good, but...

What are you doing?

It's a whistle I made for Michael.

He really liked the last one I made him
at the reunion.

Said it was cool.

That's sweet, honey. I know how hard you
worked on it.

I was thinking, maybe I shouldn't go.

Will you stop it already? You're just
like your father. I'll be fine.

But there's so much to do. And what
about the money? You are too young to be

worrying about things like this.

But you said we were partners, remember?

You never let me forget it.

But I... Think I can manage for four
days without you. It'll be tough, I

but I can do it.

Promise.

Tommy, it'll be fine. So please stop
your worrying.

Mom?

Mom? What's it like in Beverly Hills?

Well, it's a little different than here.

1215, wake up.

1215, wake up.

12 -15, wake up.

12 -15, wake up.

Mr. Michael.

How can you drink this stuff?

Let me make you some waffles and eggs,
huh? Put some meat on your bones. You're

so skinny.

9 % body fat is not skinny.

It's lean.

It's a stick.

Morning, Mom.

Hi, sweetie.

Don't forget you have to pick up Tommy
this afternoon, 4 .30.

That's today?

I can't. I have a date with Gina.

Gina?

Yeah, Gina.

My new girlfriend, Gina.

Her dad's a big movie director, lethal
force.

Tornado.

Tornado 2.

I can't keep up with you. Honey, I've
got a million things to do for this

fundraiser in Palm Springs.

The way it's going, I'm hoping for a
miracle that it comes together. Where is

that guest list?

By the phone, Mrs. Woods.

Thank you.

Harleen, that's right. Mom, look, I just
don't think that it's going to work

out. No buts. You told me no problemo,
remember?

You were excited to invite him here.

Well, you know, it's not that I'm not
excited. It's just that, you know, with

Gina now, my schedule's a little packed.

So unpack it a little.

He's your cousin.

Mom, come on. Honey.

He's coming here to see you.

And you know the hard time he's had
after losing his father.

It's only for a few days, and...

I'm sure Gina will understand.

Hey, buddy.

Hey, Dad. Home for lunch, huh?

Yeah, in between classes.

Yesterday's and today's?

Okay, class.

Drew will pass back your exams.

You know they count for 20 % of your
grades.

So my dad's wrapping his film soon.

Says he has to meet this Michael I keep
talking about.

Did you find out when you're going to go
to the Riviera yet?

Oh, it depends when Daddy starts his
next movie.

But he said he'd call me if he finds
out.

I hope you go at the same time that I
do. Can you imagine, I mean, you and me

Europe, the damage that we could do?

I think some of you thought you were
already on summer break, when you should

have been paying more attention to land
trusts, property deeds, and mergers.

I got a D.

You know what I'm supposed to stand for?

Delightful reading, Dee. I didn't think
so.

Here.

What is that?

Well, it's not officially our two -week
anniversary tomorrow, but I can't stand

it. I love presents.

What did you get me?

Open it.

Okay, all right.

I don't believe it. I don't believe
this.

Try it on, try it on.

Okay, all right, all right.

Oh, man.

Wow. I love it.

Please don't tell me that that's the
right time.

It better be.

I gotta go.

Go? What's up?

I was supposed to be at the airport 30
minutes ago to pick up my cousin.

I love the watch. I'll call you later.
Bye.

Bye.

Hey,

cowboy!

Hi, Michael. Sorry I'm late, man. L .A.
traffic's a nightmare.

It's okay.

You ready to have some fun? Yeah. All
right.

Hop on in.

Let's rock and roll, buddy.

I am so glad you're finally here, Tony.

I cannot believe how much you've grown
up, man.

Michael, I want to... Wait a minute,
hold on, hold on, hold on.

Hello? Hi, it's me.

Hey, you.

Listen, I'm sorry for having to run out
on you so quick earlier.

I want you to say hi to somebody, all
right? Say hi to Tommy for me. Hi.

Okay, baby.

Hello? Gina?

Gina?

I hate cell phones, man.

Michael? Oh, wait, hold on, hold on.
Hello?

Michael? Yes.

Oh, I'm going to the canyon.

So I was just going to ask you, how are
you going to get out of the European

study tour?

I'm going to use it to get over there
and play like it's a drag. My folks will

completely buy it.

Well, what about the school credits?

You're all the credit that I need.

You're so cute.

Are we going to do anything for our
anniversary?

Yes, yes, of course.

I miss you.

I miss you.

Bye. Bye.

Hey, Michael.

Listen, you don't mind if we stop and do
what we throw up here, do you? I've got

to pick up an anniversary gift, you
know?

All right, if it's okay.

All right, buddy.

I'm glad you're here, man.

We are.

Sweet home.

It's bigger than my school.

Well, you guys should sit up in one of
the guest rooms, buddy.

It's too bad Jules couldn't come out
here with you, Tommy.

I miss her.

She wanted to, but one of us needed to
be there.

And I hear Disneyland is at the top of
your list while you're here.

Hey, hey, hey.

Yeah, I can't wait.

Oh, that's all right, sweetie. I'll get
it.

Thank you.

Michael, why don't you take him
tomorrow?

Saturday? No, no. Saturday would be way
too crowded.

We're going to go Monday.

Monday would be much better.

Lines will be less. You can go on the
rides as many times as you want. That'll

be good, right?

If you think so.

Yeah.

Hey, Tommy.

Hi, Len. Hey, how big have you gotten,
huh?

Hey, buddy. Hey, Len.

Sorry I'm late.

You ready?

Bags are at the front door.

Tommy, Michael has assured us that
you're going to have a great time.

Glad you're here.

And I'm just so sorry about the timing,
Tommy.

Len and I have to be in Palm Springs for
this fundraiser we committed to ages

ago. Mom told me. It's okay.

Okay. You guys have fun. You too.

She must be fried from flying, huh,
buddy?

Not really.

Oh, look at this room.

It's cool, isn't it? And you know what?
We have every movie you could possibly

dream of.

My dad knows a couple of guys in the
business. They hook us up.

No way. Candy?

A popcorn machine?

You bet, buddy. Hey, check this out.

Whoa. So what movie do you want to
watch?

It doesn't matter. Whatever you want to
watch.

Well, actually, I got to go over to
Gina's and give her that necklace that

got her.

You know women, right? They got to have
their jewels.

It'll only take like five minutes.

Unless you don't want me to go and then
I won't. I'll just call her and tell her

that I can't. She'll be cool with that
because it's your first night here.

It's okay.

You know how to load a VCR?

The VCR is in Montana.

I'll see you later then.

And there you go.

Thanks, Arlene. That looks great.

Oh, it's my pleasure, Tommy.

You know, one of these mornings I'll
make you breakfast.

Montana style.

I'd love that.

Think Michael will be in soon?

Hey, hey, hey.

I heard my name. What's up, buddy?

How did you sleep?

Great. How about you?

Great. Listen, I have to run out. I've
got to do a few things.

Okay, I'll go with you.

What, are you kidding?

You're going to have so much more fun
here.

Listen, I'll be back ASAP, okay? We've
got lots of time.

What are we going to do when you get
back?

Can we go to Adventure World? My friend
Mule went there and said it was a blast.

Yeah, sure.

How about the beach?

You know, I've never seen the ocean.
Whatever you want to do, okay?

Ciao.

My mom is here.

Great.

That's Bert Pundit.

Oh, hey.

Hey,

Arlie. I could not believe that I slept
so long.

Where is my drink?

I've been busy.

Is something wrong?

Yes, Mr. Micah. What is the matter with
you?

Why, what's up?

You have no idea, do you?

Of?

Tommy has not left this house the whole
time he's been here.

I'm taking him to Disneyland next week.
Next week is now.

He's leaving tomorrow.

No way. He just got here.

Yes way.

Hey, buddy.

How's it going?

Are you ready to go to Disneyland?

We're really going to go? You won't
bail?

Hey, I never kid about going to
Disneyland.

And you know what we're going to do
after that?

What?

We're going to go to Knights of the
Round Table. Oh, it's this great place

these guys, these Recipes Knights, and
they sword fight and they joust and you

get to pig out while you watch it. It's
fantastic.

All right. When do you want to go?

Right now.

What do you say, huh?

Great, come on. Well, let's go.

Come on, buddy.

Can we go on Space Mountain first, then
the Indiana Jones ride?

Today is your day, Tommy. If you want to
go on those rides a hundred times, I am

right there with you.

Yeah, sweet.

Hey.

I'm sorry that this week has gone by so
fast.

I had really planned to do a lot more
with you.

Honest.

It's okay.

Chicks can mess with your head
sometimes.

Hello. Hey, what are you doing?

I'm taking Tommy to Disneyland,
remember?

Oh, yeah.

Well, Daddy surprised me when he got in
this morning. He was wondering if you'd

like to join us.

It would mean so much to me for you to
finally meet him.

Please, Michael.

I know, I know, but listen, it's not
that I don't want to, it's just, you

I would... No.

Okay.

All right, all right.

But I can only stay, like, two minutes.

Okay.

Bye.

Tommy, look, her dad wants to meet me
and he's leaving.

I mean, what can I do?

Don't worry about it, though, this...
This place, man, this place is amazing.

I used to come here as a kid all the
time. It's a blast.

And I promise you, I'll get back as soon
as I can. Hey!

Yeah,

I'm sure I'll have a blast.

It's a vibe thing, sir. Oh, and Lady
Luck here.

Yes, she is.

I like this one, Gina.

Daddy.

You know what?

I hate to say this, but I've got to get
going. Oh, no, no, no, no. Not before

the next race, you know.

No, I need you to pick my winner from
it.

Please.

Yes, of course. Good.

I am so sorry. Are you okay?

Yes. But my car!

You weren't even looking.

It was a blind spot.

Your top is down.

You know, I'm kind of going through a
little family emergency right now. I

know where my head's at. I'm sorry.

Family emergency?

Yes, yes. And every second counts.

Look, here's all my information. My
insurance.

License number here for you.

Poor thing. I hope everything's going to
be all right.

Yeah, me too.

Thank you.

What happened?

Tommy called and Arlene's son took him
up. He was very worried something

happened to you.

Do you know what you put me through?

Don't give me that word, routine.

All you care about is yourself.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I have a very good excuse.

Of course, you always do.

But save it, because I don't buy
anything you say.

I can't wait to go home tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

Do you know how bad my mom needs me?

Hey, look, I said I was sorry, and I am,
okay?

I kept picking winning horses for Gina's
dad.

And then this old lady, she hit me. You
were on a horse track?

Yeah, well, that's where they usually
race.

Great. Blow me off to see animals
abused.

Abused? That's a little dramatic, don't
you think? I mean, they're just horses.

Hi, guys.

You're back early.

How was Disneyland?

Everything I expected.

But I'm kind of tired, though, so I
better get packed.

Okay.

Poor thing doesn't seem himself. You
really must have wiped him out.

Yeah.

So I saw the dent in the back of your
car. What happened?

Hit and run.

Can you believe that?

Ready?

Yeah.

Hey, guys.

Where's Michael?

Oh, he had an early class.

Tommy, make sure you have Jules call me
when you get there, huh? Thanks, Aunt J

.C. Oh.

Oh, I hope you had a good time with
Michael.

And let you say, if he ever makes it out
to the ranch, I'd like to return the

favor.

Isn't that sweet?

Hey, we'd better hit the road, huh?
Might be some traffic.

Hey, guys.

Something

wrong?

Well, I got a very interesting call from
my sister when Tommy got back.

Did he get back okay?

Suddenly you care.

It seems as if Tommy didn't get to do
much of anything while he was here.

Okay.

Okay.

All right, I can explain that.

First, start by explaining why you
dropped him off at a kiddie zone so he

go to the racetrack.

Oh, well, you see, Gina's dad was only
in town for a couple hours, so I had

to... Gina?

Michael, we talked about that. He came
here, Michael, to be with you, and from

what we understand, you were either
sleeping or not here.

I mean, I didn't do it on purpose, you
know.

Time just flew by. I mean, I had a lot
of things to do.

Good

evening,

officers.

We're looking for Michael Glenn Woods.

Does he live here?

Yes, yes, he does. He's my son.

Is there a problem?

Well, your son was involved in the car
accident.

He backed into a Deirdre White,
apparently gave her some wrong

She was smart enough to double -check
his license number as he drove off.

I cannot tell you how disappointed your
mother and I are in all this.

What has gotten into you? It's as if you
dropped any sense of responsibility.

I'm sorry. I mean, you guys act like I
purposely wrote down the wrong numbers.

It wasn't intentional, Dad.

I'm not sure it wasn't.

That hurts. Well, you lied to us,
Michael.

You told us it was a hit and run.

Technically, it was.

I hit her, and then I had to run to go
pick up Tommy. No, don't go there. Don't

start. Don't start with me, Michael.
You're not talking your way out of this

one.

And I'll tell you something.

Your European study toward the end of
the summer is heavily in question.

If not off, entirely.

Dad, come on.

We have worked so hard to give you
things that we never had. I mean, where

your mother and I gone so wrong in
raising you?

You haven't. Look, okay, this is really
getting out of control here.

Here's what I'm going to do, okay?

I'm going to call Tommy. I'm going to
apologize profusely.

I'm going to take some money out of my
trust. I'm going to fix the Porsche.

I'm going to pay to fly Tommy back out
here, treat him right. How does that

sound?

Mike, you think it's that easy, huh?

Just talk your way out of it.

Your trust fund isn't meant for that,
Michael.

You're 20 years old.

It's time for you to grow up.

Dad, look, I appreciate that.

Sit down.

I'm not finished.

I'll tell you what I'm going to do.

I'm going to call your Aunt Jules and
I'm going to tell her that you're going

come out to the ranch and you're going
to give her a hand for free for the next

month.

A month?

Maybe you'll learn a little something
about hard work and responsibility.

Mom, I mean... Dad, come on. I'm not
finished.

If I hear one, and I mean one, negative
report from Jules or Tommy that you're

slacking off or not doing exactly as you
are asked, your trip is definitely off.

Am I understood?

All right. Thank you.

Okay.

Thanks for coming, Michael.

So nice you want to give us a hand.

I'm glad that I could help.

Hey, buddy.

Nice boots.

Can't play cowboy without them, right?

Well, I hope you don't mind we have to
make a stop on the way home. We'll just

throw your bags in the back of the
truck.

Sure.

This shouldn't take long, guys.

No problem.

Is there any place to grab a latte?

Uh, sorry.

You won't find any coffee houses around
here.

Oh.

How about a soda?

Um, there's a diner across the street.

Hey, I'll be back in a minute.

Want to catch a flick later?

There are movie theaters here, right?

Two.

This place is huge.

Yeah, we got about 500 head out here.

Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

Michael, I'd like you to meet Mule.

Hey.

Somebody give you that name?

My great -grandfather.

You little boy.

I thought it was a nickname or
something.

My name's Twister.

I heard a lot about you.

You ain't work much, have you?

Twister's the backbone of the ranch
here.

And I don't know what we'd do without
Mule.

Those are some nice boots you're
wearing.

Thank you. Thanks. They're Italian
leather.

Italian, huh?

Does that mean that cows moo with an
accent?

No. No, that means they're high quality
and expensive.

Yeah?

Boots are boots to me.

Well, Twister and I still have some work
to do.

But if you need anybody to show you the
ropes, let us know.

Thanks, but I think I can handle it.

Okay, Max.

He's not going to bite you.

Hey, Michael, you'll be bunking with
Tommy.

Great.

You get the bottom bar.

And there's some room in the closet for
your stuff.

Thanks.

I'm going to go help Mom with dinner.

You should see this place.

Talk about Boersville, USA.

I don't see how anybody would actually
want to live here.

That sounds horrible.

Can I get a sparkling water, please?

So, what about Aspen?

Please tell me you're going to come.

There's no way that I can go to Aspen
now. I just got here.

But it'd be so much fun.

We're going out as a company jet and
staying at Kevin Costner's.

I told you, if I don't do exactly what
they say and obey the rules, there won't

be any French Riviera.

Well, you better be a good boy, then. I
can't imagine Europe without you.

I will.

You have a good time, okay?

Say hi to your dad for me.

I will.

Love you.

Yeah, me too.

All right, bye -bye.

Boo!

How long have you been standing there?

Just a second.

I wanted to show you how to work the
satellite dish.

You know, if you want to watch some TV
later.

It's inside.

Come on, let's go.

TV's in there.

Well, check that out.

My mom would go nuts for that. She loves
antiques.

It belonged to my dad's family. It came
out on his great -grandfather's covered

wagon. It's my mom and dad's wedding
present.

Satellite picks up about a million
channels.

Press here to turn it on.

Well, you get it. Pretty simple.

You want to watch something?

No, I'm going to go to bed.

What? It's still light out.

I know, but I'm tired. I had a long day.

But feel free to stay up as late as you
like.

Oh, gee, thanks.

Good night, Michael.

Ciao.

We've received so many applications for
charters to the clubs, we haven't been

able to take care of them. I hate to
have that many...

What?

What? Rise and shine.

Breakfast is on the table.

It's 4 .30 in the morning.

I just went to bed like a couple hours
ago.

Maybe you should have gotten to bed a
little bit earlier then.

Come on, we have a lot of work ahead of
us.

You know what?

I gotta get a couple more hours of
sleep, okay? Because I am worthless

get some sleep.

I'm not kidding.

I've got two words.

French Riviera.

You did hear.

310 -555 -0197.

You memorized my phone number?

Would you like to hear Uncle Glenn's
office number?

Get dressed.

I can't believe it.

Being blackmailed by an 11 -year -old.

Morning. Morning.

Morning.

Kid.

Sit here.

No, no, thanks. I'm not really that
hungry.

Oh, you really should eat something.

Can't work on an empty stomach.

I've never seen eggs that color before.

That's the color they're supposed to be
if the chickens haven't been eating

anything phony.

I took them out of the coop this
morning.

Well, you've just really been busy this
morning, haven't you?

Um, you wouldn't happen to have any
turkey bacon, would you?

Bacon comes from a pig, son, not
turkeys.

But if it's something you like, maybe I
could find it for you?

No, no, that's fine. I'll just stay with
the coffee until I wake up from this

dream I'm having.

I went over to the bluff, and I saw that
three -color paint again.

Three -color paint?

It's pretty rare.

She's beautiful, Mom.

I hope they let her join.

Yeah, me too.

Well, Joe, that was delicious.

Never met your match in the kitchen.

Mule, you gonna go work with me or you
gonna sit here and eat all of this?

Thank you, Joe.

So, Tommy, are you gonna take Michael
with you today?

No, I don't think he should spend his
whole first day on the back of a horse.

Unless you want him.

No, no, you're right. I think I'm just
gonna stay here and get acclimated.

All right.

Then I'll get you started doing
something around here, then.

If you don't mind.

No, it's fine.

That's why I'm here.

Come on.

What's with him?

Goliath? Just plain mean. He tried to
gore a mule once when he fell into his

pen.

That is the biggest pile of manure I
have ever seen.

Doesn't take long to get there, either.

We sell it to a company that comes by
and hauls it off.

It's got to be moved right over there in
front of our glass pad.

Might as well get started.

What, with me?

Move this?

You have to be joking.

Hey, you're the one who wanted to hang
around here.

What did you say to get acclimated?
Whatever that means.

I guess if you don't want to, we could
just... No, I don't want to.

But how do you propose that I move this
heap anyway?

I don't know.

Up to you.

You're the one that goes to college.

Come on, Max.

Ah.

Right behind you, other side of the
barn.

What are we going to do, Mom?

Well, your Uncle Hank wants us to live
with him for a little while.

Just until we get our feet back on the
ground.

Can't the bank just wait a little bit
longer?

Honey, we owe Mr.

Hoffman's bank a lot of money that we
don't have.

And we won't have this year, no matter
how good things are.

He'll be coming by to help price things
for the auction.

When is it?

Four weeks.

Let's just keep this between us, okay?

Okay.

Well, I certainly feel a little better.

You should.

You're washing up for more than an hour.

What are you guys looking at?

God's painting again.

What?

Oh.

Sunset.

Yeah, it's nice.

Well, I gotta hit the sack.

I'm sure I'll be seeing you bright and
early, huh?

Yep.

Gonna watch some TV tonight?

No, not tonight, thanks.

Good night, Mom. Good night, honey.

I love you.

Me too. Come on.

Hey, come on, Max.

Sure is quiet.

A little different than Los Angeles,
huh?

Yeah, a little bit.

What are the squirrels renovating over
there or something?

Oh, the treehouse?

Oh, that's a project that Tommy and his
dad started before he got sick.

I'm sorry about Uncle John.

Yeah, me too.

This ranch was his life.

It was our life.

And John and Tommy cut all that wood
together and stacked it there.

Tommy does a little bit here and there,
but he never seems to find time to get

it done.

We thought that one day...

What's

happening today?

We gotta do some branding.

Can I help?

Feeling acclimated yet?

Very. Well, pick this up. What?

Carry it.

All right, we're going to see the cattle
through and spend the night out.

My neighbor says he saw some wolf
tracks.

Wolves? Yeah, but it's no big deal.

If we spot them, we'll call the Forest
Service and they'll catch them for

relocation.

Are you sure you can ride?

Please. Don't you remember the reunion?

Those were donkeys in the Grand Canyon.

Ah, same difference.

See that bay over there?

She's mine.

My dad and I found her when she was less
than a year old. She was almost dead.

Come on, you found her?

Seriously, we did.

There's a herd of wild horses that roam
on our property on the other side of the

block.

She had an injured leg and couldn't keep
up.

Well, if she was wild, why didn't you
just let her go again?

I tried, but she kept coming back.

So it's one of these lucky gals gets me,
huh?

I'm gonna put you on slingshot.

Which one's that?

That?

Oh, come on!

She looks sick!

She's got like one foot in the glue
factory. I could go faster on a

Hey, she's a good horse. Not the
fastest... No, no, no, no. I am not

one. No.

I want, uh... I want to ride that one.

Sure, if that's what you want.

Yeah, what's her name?

Sometimes we just call him Black.

Wow, that's original.

So you kind of pull the strap through
here and tie it real tight down here.

Okay, all right, all right, I got it. I
saw you on this.

Okay, I'll say.

Now, you can be a little temperamental
to begin with. You might want to get it

on and I can lead you around so we can
get used to it. Leave me around.

What, a little pony show for Twister and
Mule?

No, I don't think so.

Fine. Have it your way.

How are your stir planks? Your knees
should be slightly bent. They're fine,

they're fine, they're fine. Just hand me
those.

They're called the reins.

Duh, I know.

All right, how do I look?

Just like Clint Eastwood.

See? You know, I'm really missing a
great photo op here.

All right, giddy up, uh, Black.

Oh, there's one thing I should tell you.
Hey, Sid, come on, giddy up, Black.

He doesn't like to be kicked.

Whoa!

Very slowly.

Very slowly.

Are

you

okay? Yeah.

Yeah.

I thought you said you were fine.

I can, all right? I can.

You call this horse when you're not
calling him black?

for me to say so, aren't you?

Okay.

I am a little sore. How's that?

You know, it's amazing what all day in
the saddle will do to one's butt.

Michael, Michael, Michael. Let me do
that. All right.

Get out of here.

Michael,

where are you going?

I'm going to go call my chiropractor.

See if I can get an adjustment over the
phone.

It has to be unsaddled and brushed
first.

Of course.

Not so fast there, Hopalong.

This is jerky. This is a flashlight.

You've got first watch for wolves.

I figure if I put you out there early
enough, maybe you won't go to sleep.

Now listen to me. Don't make any abrupt
noises out there. The cattle spook real

easy at night.

If you see a wolf, you come and get us.

Otherwise, just enjoy yourself. It
should be beautiful out there. One of us

come get you in a few hours.

And this jerky, it ain't turkey either.

And the horse and bull episode isn't
even half of it.

My legs are so sore. I can't even move.

My hands have blisters. My boots are
ruined.

Oh, not the ones from Gucci.

Sounds so horrible what you're going
through.

Yeah, well, there's more. I'm likely
going to become some wild wolf's dinner

tonight. I'm freezing.

And to top the whole thing off, I have
an 11 -year -old prison warden who's

trying to break me.

You poor thing.

Well, this might cheer you up.

Dad's rented this incredible villa in
Saint -Jean -Ques -de -Rhin, right on

Mediterranean.

Warm, sunny, white beaches.

Me in my bikini.

God, that sounds so good.

Man, I can't wait to get out of here.

Only 28 more days.

I am so sorry for venting. I just don't
know how much moreness I can take, you

know? Parents can be so cruel.

What's your little work camp supposed to
teach you, anyway?

I could find out.

Wow. What?

I thought I just saw a shooting star.
That was incredible.

Man, you don't see many of those in L
.A., huh?

You should really see the sky over here,
Gina.

It is beautiful.

There are so many stars.

Michael, please, don't get all dances
with wolves on me.

I'd rather be talking about our trip
than some dumb star.

Oh, hold on. Someone's beeping.

Okay, I'm back.

Hello? Are you there?

What? Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry.

You know, I'd like to know what you're
more interested in out there in the

middle of nowhere than listening to me.

Uh, nothing.

Nothing. I just thought I saw something
else. That's all.

Alright, well, I gotta get going. That
was Rachel. She's in the driveway.

We're going to the Dragonfly Club.

If you even care.

Michael? Are you there?

What? I'm... what?

I've only been yelling at you for like
ten minutes.

Why don't you just call me when you have
some time, okay?

said he'd give you a hand fixing the
fences after he rounded up the last of

strays.

You know, we're lucky they didn't
stampede through all the fences.

Yeah, well, you should have heard what I
had to deal with on the phone with

Gina, explaining to her why I hung up on
her.

I cannot believe they stampeded because
of a little phone ringing.

You know, it's your neighbor's fault,
though.

They should have told us that they found
the wolf. We would have been out there

in the first place.

Load the poles into the truck.

Keys are in the ignition if you want to
move it closer.

Uh, I think I can handle it.

Suit yourself.

Tommy said to load the poles into the
truck.

So I loaded the poles into the truck.

You got a problem with that?

Nope. Just wondering why you're loading
poles into a truck that doesn't work.

That old thing hasn't run in about 15
years.

Come on.

Let me show you something.

I think you meant this one.

that I would load those poles into the
wrong truck.

You didn't load them in the one that was
parked in front of the barn, did you?

That hasn't worked in years.

So I've heard.

You know, I am sick of you doing this.
Doing what?

I told you to get the keys if you wanted
to move it closer.

Why would I mean that truck? It's parked
right next to the pile.

Payback is over, little cousin.

We are even.

No, as a matter of fact, we are way past
even.

And you know what? You can go ahead and
call my dad if you want. I don't really

care. I've had enough of this.

And enough for you to last me a
lifetime.

So just stay out of my way, you got it?

I can't believe I used to wish you were
my brother.

There's nothing about you I like or
respect.

You've changed so much.

Are you talking about being all buddy
-buddy at the reunion?

Because think about it, Einstein.

You and I were the only two people there
under 30.

I was so bored I had nothing better to
do than hang out with a little snot

-nosed seven -year -old like you.

That's how bored I was.

Now leave me alone.

I will.

Just go ahead and serve your sentence
for lying about your car and acting like

didn't exist.

I'll stay out of your way, but you stay
out of my way.

Waiting for you.

Fixing a fence ain't that hard to figure
out, son. You replaced a broken post

with the new ones.

All of them.

That's going to take, like, weeks.

Then I suggest you get started.

You're everything Tommy said you were.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't
seen it with my own eyes.

Look, I didn't really ask to be a part
of all this cowboy stuff.

I guess I'm just... city boy really
doesn't fit in. No, you're not a city

You just don't give a darn.

They're about to lose their ranch. You
couldn't care less.

What do you mean lose their ranch?

You have no idea?

No.

That figures.

Why didn't they tell me?

I'm not sure they think you'd care.

I bet you've never been challenged by
anything in your whole life, have you?

Got your cell phone, your fancy boots.

Your folks buying you anything you ever
wanted.

I got a four -year -old nephew who works
harder than you do.

Everything you need's in that truck.

You understand me?

Yeah.

All right, Mrs. Biggs.

What about this piece?

It goes.

the opening bid.

All right, Mrs. Biggs.

We'll be taking off.

Thank you for your time.

Who were they?

Oh, just some people that stopped by.

What do you say you and I get to know
each other a little better, huh?

Hey, I promise you, no more kicking, all
right?

Aunt Jewel's probably in supper ready.

Wow.

They let the three -color paint join.

I knew they would.

I said some cruel things to you that
weren't true.

At the reunion, I had a great time with
you.

Why don't I take a seat?

It's pretty comfy.

My dad and I made it.

I bet you really miss him.

I miss his laugh.

He was always laughing.

I sit here long enough, I can feel him.

Yeah, we used to come up here every day
after chores.

Just watching.

He and I named them all.

Oh, come on. Every one?

Yep. All right.

What's that brown one there?

That's Ranger.

How about the white one?

Cheyenne. His second girlfriend.

His second?

Yep.

What about the dark brown one over
there?

That's Chester. He's the oldest.

And what about that little one with all
the energy?

Tommy Boy.

My dad named him.

All right, what about, uh... Sophie
Gunther Spotts.

Penelope Gertrude Max Trotter.

Sadie Cinnamon Walter Lola.

And that one over there, that other
sorrel?

Her name's Jules.

His first girlfriend, the queen.

Of course.

You don't know one or you don't like the
racetrack?

They're so free here.

Just like they were hundreds of years
ago, I bet.

My dad used to say that wild horses
bring us good luck.

Guess he was wrong.

How come you and Aunt Jules didn't tell
me you guys were losing the ranch?

What do you care?

I care.

Look, we owe a lot of money we can't
pay.

Why don't you just borrow the money?

It's the problem. We did.

We can't pay it back.

I guess it all started when my dad was
alive.

Then it got worse after he got sick.

A bunch of bad stuff happened.

Doctor bills.

Cattle prices kept falling.

Couldn't get out of the hole after that.

Just kept borrowing it against the
wrench.

Why not, uh...

Why not sell a portion of the ranch and
use that to pay off the debt?

No one to buy it.

Everyone around here is going through
the same thing.

So what are you going to do?

We're going to have an auction at the
end of the month.

Sell the herd and what we can.

Move into one of my uncle's old
trailers.

That's next week.

What does it matter to you?

You're leaving the day after tomorrow to
go on your vacation with Gina.

What happened? Oh, no, no, no. It's
nothing like that. I mean, they haven't

in an accident or anything. It's just,
uh... They all have money, Dad, and

they're going to lose their ranch.

I know.

You know?

And you haven't done anything?

Michael, it's not that easy.

I offered. They don't want my help.

Why? Because your aunt and your cousin
are very proud people, and I believe

that...

Michael, when your mother first told me
that they were in trouble, I called.

But how do you give something to someone
who won't take it?

That's so stupid.

They'd rather lose the ranch than take
the money.

I even offered to make her a loan so
that she could pay it back.

But she didn't want to take that either.

I think she was afraid of not being able
to.

I just don't get it. I mean, they work
so hard to keep this place going, and

they're just going to... Throw it all
away.

It would be so easy.

Yes, it would be easy, Michael.

But everything isn't always a quick fix.

Well, I'm not giving up that easy.

They need this place. I'm going to find
a way for them to keep it.

See, you start the pyramid, right? Which
puts you on the top.

And the people on the bottom have to
each pay $1 ,500 to get in on it. Now,

your pyramid fills up, you make $12
,000.

Now, the guy that was below you, when he
moves up to the top and his pyramid

comes up, he makes $12 ,000.

So I figured that if you, me, Mule,
Jules, and Tommy all start one, that's

$70 ,000.

And then, you know, we get a lot more
people to join in on it.

These people that give you the money,
what happens to them?

Well, when they reach the top, they make
$12 ,000, just like you.

What if they don't reach the top?

Then they lose. I mean, you know, there
are certain risks.

Sounds like gambling to me.

Now you're catching on.

You ain't gonna find any gamblers around
here, son.

People work too hard to maybe lose their
money.

Besides, it don't sound exactly legal.

Yeah, but it's a chance for them to keep
the ranch.

So, are you in on it or what?

I mean, look, all we have to do is just
get two people to join in on it. And

then those two people gotta get two
people.

It's like a piece of cake.

Look, it's, uh...

It's a good thing you're trying to help
Jules and Tommy, but you're milking the

wrong cow trying to do it this way.

I mean, if I had 1 ,500 bucks, I
wouldn't need no pyramid. I'd just give

them. And so would a lot of other folks
around here.

But even at that, there ain't no way
she'd ever take the money.

What is with all this pride?

This ranch.

It's a beautiful place.

Lord knows I broke enough sweat working
it.

But there comes a point when it just
don't make any sense to keep going.

I mean, it's like digging a hole in the
ground so deep you can't get back out of

it again.

She owes a lot of money, Michael.

And it ain't her fault. That's just the
way the times fall.

Happens to a lot of ranchers.

A lot of farmers, too.

I figure that's why there ain't so many
of them left anymore.

I cooked up a mean barbecue.

No, no, it's fine, really.

I'm just going to hang here.

Might even go for another ride later.

All right, well, there's some leftovers
in the fridge.

Have you seen Tommy?

He's working away.

He's trying so hard to finish that
before we leave.

Don't worry about it. Have fun.

My dad's in mine!

Tommy!

We were supposed to finish it! If you
touch it again, I swear!

I was just trying to help you with it,
buddy.

It's like they got no choice.

They've tried everything that they can.

It's just not right. I mean, I'm headed
off to Europe and they have to leave

their home.

Ah, the thought of a trailer.

Sounds so gross.

That's not the point. The point is
they're family and there's nothing that

do. Can we talk about something slightly
less depressing?

Like? Like.

There's this incredible old city by the
villa called Ev's.

Daddy says it's got this wall built all
around it. And one of the best five

-star restaurants in the whole area.

Oh, you are not going to believe this.

My dad bought a racehorse.

Why?

I don't know. He likes them, maybe.

Anyway, I need to get going. I'm
supposed to meet Rachel.

She's going out with Leonardo DiCaprio.

I mean, personally, I think he's so five
minutes ago.

Look, I'll call you when I get back.

No, no, I'm already going to be in bed.

I'm going to wake up early and go for a
ride and have a lot of work to do before

I have to leave here tomorrow.

Early? Work?

Those are swear words in your
vocabulary.

No, really.

You know, it's not that bad.

I mean, I'm doing and learning things
that I never thought that I could do

before.

Working with my hands.

Oh, and there's this horse here, Black
Lightning.

You know, I'm getting pretty good at
riding him now. Whatever, sweetie. I got

jam. Look, Rachel's beeping in. You know
how she doesn't like to wait. But I'll

see you tomorrow.

Cinnamon. Sandy.

Major.

Gunther.

Spots. Walter.

Jules.

Michael!

Michael, where's Swifter?

He's trying to get some wood, buddy.
What's up?

Tommy boy, he's gonna die.

Die?

Wild horses stress really easy.

They can die from it. Okay, all right.

But I'm going to go out there. No, let
me. I'm later.

All right, just be careful, okay?

I will.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

It's not going to hurt me.

Give me some slack. Come on.

Whoa, easy, boy.

Easy.

You're not going to hurt me, are you?

No.

No, you're not going to hurt me.

You're going to help Bryce?

Yeah, you're not bad.

Easy now. Whoa, boy.

Whoa,

whoa. It's okay.

Just get this around your neck and we'll
get you out of here.

It's okay, boy.

Whoa.

Easy.

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa, boy.

Easy, boy. It's okay, boy. Whoa, boy.

It's okay, Bobby.

Easy.

Easy, boy.

It's okay. It's okay.

Come on, son.

We'll get through this. Come on.

Easy.

Stay calm just a little bit longer.

We'll have you out of here.

Son, easy, boy.

It's okay.

We're not going to hurt you. We're here
to help.

Easy. It's okay.

Whoa, boy.

Okay. Take a home just a little longer.

And we'll let you out of here.

Hold him steady.

Come on, just make sure he doesn't...

I'm going to have to let him go.

You're the boss.

You ready?

Good. Now get out of there. Come on.

Real boy.

Thank you.

No sweat.

Five minutes. You better take a shower
or you're going to miss your flight.

Go!

What happened to you?

I cannot believe it's gone by so fast.

You got real good at riding black.

Yeah. Look, Tommy, I am so sorry about
not taking you to Disneyland, man.

I cannot believe that I was such a jerk.

It's okay.

No, no.

It's not okay. You know what?

I promise you, next time, we are there,
all right?

If you let me take you.

I'd give you a hug right now, but...
Okay.

All right, buddy.

I'll see you.

Have fun in Europe. I will.

And you, young man, get in the shower. I
will be back as soon as I can.

Bye, Mom. Bye.

Take a shower.

Bye, Michael.

This can't be the same one from the
reunion.

No, I made a new one.

Thanks, man.

I'll see you.

Bye. Bye.

Coming into the home turn.

Pictures, eh? Come on, there we go.
There we are.

There we go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa.

Whoa. Whoa.

Whoa.

Michael, stay away from it. It could
hurt you. Michael.

Michael, please. Let somebody
professional deal with this.

It's okay. He's not going to hurt me.

It's going to hurt him.

Whoa, boy. Whoa, boy.

Whoa, boy.

Whoa, boy.

It's okay.

It's all right.

No one's going to hurt you. No one's
going to hurt you.

Just be a good boy, okay?

Okay? All righty.

Mr.

Michael?

Gina and her father are here.

Thanks, Arlene.

You okay?

Have a great time.

Here we go.

Here, let me get that for you, sir. No,
no, no, it's okay. I'm going to hold on

to him. Thanks.

No, don't be silly. Give them to him.
That's what he's paid for.

I'm not going.

What?

I realize there's something a lot more
important that I have to do, Gina.

I have to advise you, there are
penalties for liquidating some of these

in your trust fund.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Yes.

I'll be right back, Mom.

Oh, thanks, Summer.

It's going to be okay, Tommy.

It's time to unpack.

Michael?

What are you doing here?

This is your money, isn't it?

No.

It's yours.

This is unbelievably generous of you.

But I can't take this.

I'm not giving it to you.

It's an investment.

I want to see this place work.

Well, it's a bad investment, Michael.

Believe me.

It's why I wouldn't borrow money from
your dad.

I have tried so many ways to make this
place work, but the signs are right here

in front of me.

It's time to move on.

Please.

Your giving comes from the right place.

So

that's

it then, huh?

It's over.

We're going to be fine.

Testing. Testing.

One, two, three. Can everybody hear me
back there?

Testing. Testing.

Welcome.

You've got a great day for an auction
today.

We've got a lot of nice items, so make
sure you take some time to look

everything over.

We're going to get everybody signed up.

Sharon Raycraft is back there.

She'll be glad to get you all fixed up
with your auction number. We'll get this

thing on the road shortly. What deck is
in this thing?

A bunch of my old school stuff.

My mom sees everything I've done.

The drunk should get us some money,
though. Sit on this table.

Okay.

Let me just check this out here.

Hey, look at this.

A+. It's not bad.

Nice guy's laptop. I got a D.

What subject?

Oh, it was so boring. It was real estate
development. It had to do with land

trusts and property deeds and larger
estates like that.

Michael, what's up? We've got to check
something out, man.

Yeah, I got it.

A D, Michael.

Yeah, I know. I could have done better,
all right? I will next time.

We have to hurry.

All right, now look, turn to the fifth
or sixth page.

It's only four pages long.

Really?

Let's go.

All right, well, just turn to the part
about land trust. You have to read it to

me, all right?

Whatever it is I said. Who are you
talking to?

I'm not sure, but I think it's our son.

take a look around uh sir can you move
that call please i got a bad life let's

go

Where's Michael going?

Learn.

One of the things my father has taught
me is there are no quick fixes in life.

And I have learned that it is hard work
and dedication and what you believe in

that makes a difference.

Now, I've never seen anybody work
harder.

than my aunt and cousin. Young man, I
couldn't agree with you more. Sir, sir,

understand. You have every right to
foreclose on their property.

I mean, I'm from Beverly Hills. I
understand all about money. Yes, yes.

But isn't the bottom line in any
business to make a profit or at least

money, right? Yes, but when you run...
Look, I've done some research.

Now, your bank, by no fault of your own,
has been forced to foreclose on 18

ranch properties in the last three
years.

And guess what?

They're all still for sale.

Obviously reflecting the times.

You're losing money every day those
properties don't sell. Aren't I right?

Well, yes. If you look at it like that,
I guess we are. My aunt's ranch meets

all the criteria for a land trust.

Land trust?

You both would have a better bottom
line.

You just got to give it a chance.

How about making a difference in
somebody's life, huh?

A positive one.

$300 going once, going twice, sold at
$300, number 102.

All right, now this next item up for bid
is a very special piece. It's a 200

-year -old armoire that made it all the
way out here on a covered wagon, and

today it can make it all the way into
your living room.

We're going to start the bidding at
$500.

I can't stand it.

Mom, what about Michael?

Um, ask Mule to wait for him and then
take him over to Uncle Hank's.

Wait, Mom, look!

Ladies and gentlemen, this auction is
now over.

There'll be no more items sold here
today.

All the items that you guys already
bought, your money's going to be

okay? I'm sorry. You guys can all go
home now. Thank you.

Michael, I don't know what you think
you're doing, but this auction has to

continue. I told you, we don't have a
choice. Yes, you do have a choice.

This is a 30 -day extension for Mr.
Hawthorne.

Your dad was right, Tommy. Those wild
horses, they are lucky.

Michael. It's called a land trust.

I learned about it when I was in school.

Well, sort of. See, your land supports a
herd of wild horses, animals that

should be allowed to live in their
natural habitat.

The land trust ensures them a home
forever.

That's what it's there for, protection
of wild animals and their habitats.

about the money that we owe?

Well, it's not 100 % for sure, but if
your land is accepted by the trust,

it should be because it meets all the
requirements, then your debt is covered

it.

So we get to stay?

Yes.

Now, you won't own the land anymore, but
they will pay you to stay on and manage

it.

I don't know what to say.

Thank you. Yeah.

Thank you.

Sure. I actually have one favor to ask
of you, though.

Anything.

I was wondering if I could stay here for
a little while longer and see this

trust through.

You can stay as long as you'd like.

Can I ask you something?

Shoot. Anything.

You feel like working on a treehouse?

Are you sure?

Yes. Really sure.

Come on. I'll raise you. I'll raise you.
