I love this place. I really do.

It's a great place to hang your hat or lift your leg.

It's so mean.

The bay breeze, the golden gate, the fisherman's wharf, the females.

Yeah, don't even get this dog started on the females.

Just something about the way a girl sips her latte that gets me a little hot

under the collar.

But enough about me. Let's talk about why we're here.

The Doolittles.

Maya Doolittle, that is. Not the doctor. The daughter.

See, she's adjusting.

She's going through that weird period that every one in a trillion girls go

through. It's not every day a young woman wakes up and realizes she can talk

animals and we can talk to her.

I thought you said you actually had your license.

This is too loud. I have everything under control now. Whatever. Just don't

me before the party's running.

I wrote the dopest CD for everyone to freak to.

Oh, my God. I just had the best idea.

What? You should totally have a birthday party at the end of summer. We'll make

sure it's off the chain, and then next year you'll be part of the A -list with

me. Okay, I don't know how to tell you this, but you've been more of a B

You should make me a C at best.

Oh, I'm so hating my social status right now. What do you expect?

Running around talking to animals all the time. I told you a million times, I

don't talk to them. They keep talking to me. Maya, watch out!

A freaking animal. Are you nuts?

You can get people killed like that.

Don't tell it to me. Tell it to the pig.

Whatever. Talk to Heather, who texts Mrs. Mandy, who irons Christy, who two

-ways with Tammy.

And the bottom line is...

you're having a birthday party this summer.

Yes, and it would be so cool if all of you guys came. I mean... I assume you're

having it somewhere worthwhile.

Well, I don't really know yet, but... It's on a boat.

Like a robot?

Actually, it's on a huge P. Diddy -like boat.

How MTV of you.

We'll think about it.

A birthday party. That is so freshman year.

I can feel it.

All right, are you ready? We got to go. We got to help set it for senior day.

20 minutes, people.

Hey, dude, you rolling to the jump off tonight?

Noah's going to be off the hook. Hi, Carl.

He nodded at me. Did you see that? Keep it up and he might actually talk to you.

Oh, nice shot, you freaking moron. Give the bird a break, dude.

What's with you and that dumb thing anyway? I just feel bad for him being

up in a cage all the time. Get out if you feel so bad for him.

How? The only person who has a combination is Principal Thomas.

Oh, jeez. It's 8 -15 -27.

Hey, guys. Maybe you should try 8 -15 -27.

Great.

The freak that talks to animals. Wait, let me guess.

The hawk told you the combo.

So? What if he did?

You don't have to be a jerk about it.

Go ahead, then, Carl.

Let the bird out. I dare you.

All right.

Check your tail feathers.

Oh, thanks a lot, pal. I'll be right back.

Ladies and gentlemen, the hawk has left the building.

Hey, I owe you one.

Well,

if it isn't Maya Dooley.

Anybody's going to be there.

I even heard Carl call it the party of the year.

Parties? Ooh la la. I love parties.

I'm sure you do.

Now. Ooh, it's that kind of party.

Tell me where it hurts.

Okay, I'm ready.

So, there's the party in the neighborhood.

thinking something, you know, furrier.

I'm serious.

This party's as big as it gets.

You look great, kid.

We were listening to that.

I just got off the phone with your principal, and I saw what you did to my

Smells like trouble.

Sounds like you had an interesting afternoon.

Yeah, but it wasn't my fault. I was trying to impress Carl, and there was

bird, and... I was 17 once, too, Maya. I know what you're going through.

Oh, really? So animals chatted at you 24 -7?

No, but I do know what it's like to want to fit in. Oh, good. Then you know

exactly why I have to finish getting ready for the party.

I'm sorry, sweetie, but I think you have earned yourself a night in. But I

thought you understood.

I've been working on this look for hours.

Any longer, I would have peed on the bed.

It's just one night.

But why does it have to be tonight?

Oh, where's Maya?

She's at home grounded.

You put me in timeout. I'm sure there'll be other parties.

Lucky, I need a favor.

Give me a bone and a belly rub, and I'm your man.

Look, we were lucky to even get invited, right?

So I think the best approach in the first five days is just, you know, keep

low profile. Definitely low profile.

Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away.

A little? We're lucky if anybody even talks to us after that.

Be for yourself, girlfriend.

I just wanted to say thanks for taking a

rap from me earlier.

Well, please, it was totally my pleasure.

Cool. So, you want to dance?

Mm -hmm. Come on.

Sharice is fine, but I'm getting really worried about Maya, John.

I know that you had trouble at first, but you were a grown man.

Maya's a 17 -year -old girl trying to figure life out.

You know what?

I think I might have an idea.

I'm going to go talk to her about it right now.

Maya! Maya, come down!

Hey, Maya, if you won't sing, you at least got to get us dancing!

You low -pro, remember?

Oh, forget that!

You're the best dancer here!

Step up, girl!

Come on, Maya, let's...

And it's her wig.

Hey, girl.

Hey, is that car with Maya Delittle? Sure is. What are you doing with her?

Girl, come to me.

Ew. I must be out of his mind.

Hey, Justin, turn around. Check her out.

Oh, no.

What's he doing here?

I'm popping.

I'm locking.

I'm popping.

I'm locking.

You're just following you.

Here I come. Time to meet some ladies.

This way to the bar, girls.

It's a ladies' night.

Ew, is that what I think it is?

Check it out. It's imported from France. You spike the punch?

Don't worry, it's good stuff.

Wait, is Maya talking to it?

anyway.

Has anyone seen my CD?

Come on, Carl. Let's dance.

Look, just leave now and I won't tell... Oh no, where'd you go?

The monkey gave it to you.

You really...

Expect me to believe that.

Yeah. The monkey from Dad's clinic followed me to the party and... Oh, the

that you snuck out to attend.

Uh -oh. Well, yeah, but it wasn't my fault.

Then whose fault is it?

This ought to be good.

I already told you. It's the monkey's. Oh, the monkey, the hawk, the dog.

The dog? It wasn't even there. The dog. Oh, God. Do you ever shut up?

Don't hate the player, girl. Hate the game.

You see, that's the problem.

I'm always talking to animals.

No, you need to stop.

I think maybe you need to start thinking seriously about who you really are and

what your future has in store for you.

Okay, well, I guess I can take a couple of weeks off from the clinic, you know,

just to get my head together and maybe go down to the beach and do a little

shopping with Viv.

The beach? I could use a tan.

I'm talking about a complete break.

A total change of scenery.

There's this camp, a ranch, actually, that I went to when I was younger. Wait,

ranch?

Yeah, that's a good one, Mom. Well, you and I both know I'm not really a ranch

kind of girl.

I think this could be a really good thing for you. Mom, you are not me.

Oh, God, Mom!

You love animals.

Okay, Mom, just listen to me for one second.

I was almost B -crowd once.

Then I started talking to animals, and I went straight to a C.

I mean, right now, I'd just be happy being back to a B -minus like the swim

people. Or the chess club, even. I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm trying to help you.

But you're punishing me for something I can't control.

I am not punishing you.

You have a gift, and you need to learn to accept it. I'd rather return it.

I want to talk to Daddy. I already did.

He thinks it's a great idea.

Well, you better get some sleep because the bus leaves at noon.

Wait, I'm leaving tomorrow?

Durango is a great place.

You're going to thank me one day.

No, I won't.

Mom, I just want to be normal.

I wish I wasn't a do -little.

I think I just went straight from a C to an F.

F's good. F is new B.

Mom, I can't believe I let you talk me into this.

Just give it a chance, honey. I promise.

One day.

Yes, I know.

One day I'll thank you. Just do your best to have a good time, and everything

going to work itself out.

I don't know if I can do this, Lucky. Sure you can. Just do what I do.

And what is that? Drink out of the toilet bowl?

No. I take it one day at a time.

Yeah, thanks for the advice, Dr.

Phil. Stay off my bed while I'm gone.

Oh, you can count on me.

Not.

Not.

Can I see that ring? Yeah.

I think that's you.

What happened? You missed the bus to the mall?

Yeah. But that was only because I was too busy trying to figure out how much

makeup we were going to need for your makeover.

Oh, okay.

Alright, it's going to be like that, huh? Hey, you're the one messing with

Ladies, ladies.

Come on now. Calm down.

Papa's here.

Alright, we don't need to argue. Where's the love?

Sorry, dude. We didn't mean to do that.

Big bag, isn't it? Yeah, it's not the only thing.

Coming through?

Use your big bags. Yeah.

That's my job.

Oh, come on.

What? It's good to be prepared. Prepared for what? Malaria?

Hey, come on. I got donuts here.

D -nut? D -nut?

Want a donut? D -nut?

All right, go.

Hey, you want one?

No. Oh,

whoopsie daisies.

Five second rule.

It's all a fact.

There's going to be one long summer.

You homesick already?

What is your problem? You don't even know me. No, and I don't need to know

either, okay? I can spot your type of volume all the way, trust me.

Let's play the quiet game, huh?

Winner gets a date with yours truly?

Shouldn't you be, like, at fat camp or something?

Look, my bones are large, all right?

Mm -hmm.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

This is gorgeous.

Well, that silver spur is one of the other ranches. Your ranch is over there.

Oh, no.

Yeah,

finally we're here.

Excuse -a -ma -la. I want to get off the bus.

Sorry.

Okay,

clearly there's been a mistake.

Maya, I'm coming, I'm coming. Just hang on. Just keep yapping.

It's awful out here.

Call me whenever you get this message.

I need you to come pick me up.

Maya! Maya!

Where's the freaking button?

I really need to learn how to read.

Okay, bye.

Gotta get out of here. What are you looking at?

Yo, princess, what you looking at over there?

Second thought, maybe this place...

so bad after all.

That's the only smart thing you've said all day.

Who are you?

I'll be back to you later.

Is that crap?

I think you just stepped on something.

Howdy. Welcome to Durango.

I'm Bo.

Amazing what you did over there with that horse. Do you, like, work here or

something?

I guess you can say that. My dad owns this place.

Cool.

So the first thing we need to do is just get you guys unpacked and we can go

ahead and... You have amazing eyes.

Thank you. That's mighty kind of you to say that. Oh, no.

Please tell me I can just say that out loud.

Look, don't worry.

I won't even hold it against you. By the way, I didn't catch your name. Oh, I'm

Brooklyn. Brooklyn Webster.

Okay, Brooklyn Webster. How are you doing?

I'm doing much better now.

I'm Maya.

Maya... Dolores.

Maya Dolores Haynes.

Maya Dolores Haynes. What an interesting name right there.

Well, not really. Just your simple, plain Jane kind of last name.

Nothing really special about it.

I really like those chaps on you. Those look...

Fantastic. And I love your hat. It makes us look like we're twins.

It's like a monster of flame.

Well, you know, it's very nice to meet both of you ladies.

In fact, it's nice to meet all of you guys. So the first thing we need to do

just get everybody unpacked and get you guys all settled in, all right?

Okay.

Come on, everybody.

I'm going to show you off to the bunkhouse, and then we can all get

some ranching chores.

Well.

What, were you expecting the Four Seasons or something?

Okay, did I do something specific? Are you always such a... Oh, I'm sorry. Did

hurt your little misperceiving?

No, seriously, do you always act like this?

Only when I see something I want.

And right now, I want Bill.

So you need to back off, okay?

Thank you.

Hey, Judd, got those animals loaded up and ready to go.

Okay, well, I sure appreciate you taking that livestock off my hands.

That's what neighbors are for.

Despite always whipping your butt at the rodeo, the Silver Spurs is always

considered the Durango, old friend.

Now, if there's anything else I can do, you just let me know.

Always got my eyes open for a good piece of land.

Yeah, I'm sure you do.

Well, Walter, if you'll excuse me, I've got some new recruits up there waiting

on me.

You take care, Judd.

You do the same, Walter.

What are you

looking at, fat boy?

Silly pigs.

Well, you want a piece of me, pork chop?

Do I look funny to you?

What?

I got a bug?

I get it?

Gun? Where are you going?

I ain't fitting with you.

Hey, I'll see you at the buffet table.

Hey, gang.

I'm Judge Jones.

Welcome to Durango.

I imagine most of y 'all already met my son, Bo, here.

Now, we're going to be working real hard here at Durango for the next six weeks,

getting you all ready to ride in the local rodeo, and anyone that trains hard

enough can take a shot at the individual competition, and who knows, you might

just get to win one of those nice big shiny trophies. Wouldn't it be easier if

we just watched it on TV?

You mean that we're not going to be competing as a team?

No, son, I'm afraid that the Durango Rants doesn't enter into the team

of the competition.

How come?

Well, let's just say it's hard to expect a bunch of city folk to compete against

experienced cowboys.

But who's ready to become a cowboy in training?

Me! And they call me weird.

Are you going to teach us how to bull ride? That's the coolest.

Come on, gang.

Best cowboy in the world is no match for the right bull on a bad day.

But you don't expect us to do that other stuff, right?

No, not today.

Shucks. Today you're going to take yourself a nice, leisurely trail ride.

Tomorrow? Tomorrow, little lady.

That's when the real work begins.

Can't wait.

Okay, Red.

Let's see what you got.

Okay.

Man, Tyler, you are a what?

Here, let me show you guys how it's done, okay?

Watch this.

Let me show you how it's done.

There's a bathroom out here.

Watch this, guys.

Whoa, one at a time. Why do I always get the best?

Shouldn't have had that third Snickers.

Don't worry, kid. She'll move when the time's right.

Well, looks like you're up, Maya.

He says he's scared you might break a nail.

No, he just said I've never done something like this before.

I think I'll try later.

Never is more like it.

From this side.

And don't worry, he's pretty old. He doesn't move like he used to. Old? I got

you, old buddy.

No, no, no, wait, whoa, whoa. Oh, no, no.

No, no.

It's good.

Let's see if we can get you on this thing the right way, okay?

Whoa! All right.

There you go.

See that?

Natural -born rider.

Any day, Dolores.

Hey, Bo, thanks.

And maybe later you can show me how to do all this on my own.

Maybe next time you can show me how to do it on my own.

You don't actually think that crap's going to work, do you?

I'm sorry. I believe the phrase is, don't hate the player, hate the game.

Game on.

You got served.

Bye -bye.

Hey, babe, you need to clean up before we go out.

You think I'm dirty? You should see my pen.

Hey, Bush.

Hey, how do you stink like that? Are you rotten inside?

Let him out.

Let him out.

Shut up. You shut up. No, you shut up. No, you shut up.

19, 20, 21.

Hey, Pig, what are you doing?

Well, I've been having trouble sleeping, so the sheep told me I should tell the

people. All right, all right, I got one. Check this out.

What do you call it?

Retail. Sitting in a jacuzzi.

Still.

Do you animals ever stop?

What is your problem?

Oh.

Was I talking in my sleep again?

I didn't do that. Sorry.

Such a weirdo.

Shut up. Hey, what comes after 29?

2010, dummy.

I don't even know why I bother. Hey, just wake up if you want. What do I

What a joke.

When is Jed going to realize we girls have our needs?

Would it kill the man to get a rooster with a little chutzpah?

You okay?

I guess you weren't kidding about Biden earlier.

Dad likes to get a head start on the sun, so I'd say you got about ten

till we get going.

Okay.

All right.

So, anyway...

I finally realized hitchhiking is impossible without a thumb.

So I hopped on the back of a pickup truck, and here I am.

Oh, no.

No, no, no way. It can't be.

I'll be good now. You hear?

Bye. Hey, Maya, look who's gone country.

What's with the baby talk, Maya? I can hear you, remember?

Which is exactly why you need to get out of here. Now go on, scram. But I heard

your message.

I came here to rescue you. Look, I'm serious.

You cannot stay here.

If the kids find out I'm a doolittle, I'm... But you are a doolittle, aren't

you? Of course I'm a doolittle.

Only right now I'm a doolittle who's fitting in.

If the animals find out I can talk to them, I'm doomed.

Why? You love animals.

Of course I love animals.

It's just that if they talk to me, I'm going to talk back. And if I talk back,

then the other kids are going to think I'm some kind of freak.

Look, you can stay here if you want.

But just find something to occupy your time.

Occupy my time.

Copy that.

Okay. Hey, this doesn't have anything to do with the big hunk of cowboy behind

you, does it? Oh, you mean the really cute one?

He's behind me.

Are you talking to that stray dog? They like it for you to talk to them like

they're people because it makes them feel important.

Yeah. So let me get this straight. I come all the way here and now you're

going to ignore me?

But I wore a wig.

Do you have any idea how confusing that can be to a dog's identity?

Go round them up. Get them together.

All right.

you all got your feet wet.

Today you're going swimming.

Is it pool?

Sweet! It's a metaphor, you moron.

Well, like I was saying, time to find out what you kids are made of.

So Bo and the boys have built a couple of contraptions to simulate what an

actual rodeo might be like.

So remember, have fun out there.

You got it, son. Thanks, Pop.

All right, guys, let's head on over this way. Cool.

a lover, not a fucker.

Like you're rolling down a hill. Say me still, I got a chill. If that a girl, I

will. Put a sweater to your left and then a fool in your neck. I'm broken

body cause I'm broken. I'm broken.

I'm broken.

I'm broken. I'm broken. I'm broken.

Finally, something I'm good at.

Maya.

Maya, over here.

It's important.

Please.

It better be good.

Well, you see, the thing is this.

I, uh, I... Oh, no, I know that face. What did you do?

I may or may not have slipped up and told one or two of the animals who you

were. What?

Thanks for selling me at the river.

Hey, take it easy. I just didn't know what else to say when they kept asking

what I was doing here.

It's fine.

Wait. You sure it was just one or two, right?

Yeah, pretty sure.

And then again, it could have been all of them.

I think that's her.

You are so dead when we go home.

Hey, what happened to the man's best friend thing, huh?

Humans.

Morning, Mr.

Little. Hey.

Oh.

I don't want to ruffle any feathers, Miss Doolittle, but I've got a problem.

Oh, I know this is going to happen.

Hey, Maya, excuse me, girl. There's something I need to talk to you about.

Something really important. Whatever it is, I'm sure you can work it out on your

own. But if you don't mind, I'd rather be left alone, okay?

Hello, hello.

Oops -de -doo.

Knob one.

Hey, slow down there, sexy. Around here, that egg is considered a collector's

item. Look who it is. Hey, ladies, what's crackin'? The little rooster who

couldn't.

Seriously, like low egg production is my fault?

Well, you know, you're not helping anything by mocking me, you know.

Talk about a cock -a -doodle -do.

Ha, ha, ha, that's very funny.

Hey, watch it.

You watch it, lady.

I had a really bad day so far, all right? But if you want to dance, let's

Hey, what is wrong with you?

Oh, be a rooster, they say.

Show us what you're made of, they say. They think it's easy being the only

rooster on a farm full of hens. Well, you know what? It's not.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Look, I'm just under a lot of pressure. I just wish

was someone I could talk to.

Look, I'm sure everything's going to be okay.

Hey, hey, you just talked to me.

Wait, you mean none of the other animals told you?

Well, I've been in kind of a funk lately. I haven't been in the cool of

so... Okay, well, just give it a little bit of time.

I'm sure everything will work out.

Hey,

people fight!

People fight!

Give me a chance, Bob, on the tough one.

Hey! What? He's playing me hard.

I got you.

All right, go ahead. Take him to Skinny Johnny.

No way this has gotten into you, kid. I was planning to sell those eggs this

afternoon.

Oh, come on, Pops.

It ain't just happening, little fuzz.

Just like that, huh? All right.

So,

uh, what is it that you women want exactly? I mean, a guy can only do so

you know what I mean? Sorry, Tom, but talking to you earlier almost got me

busted. Now go on, leave me alone before somebody sees.

Well, what good is talking to animals if you can't help a brother out every now

and then? Hey, come back!

Hey, still ignoring me?

What do you think?

Sheesh, I never knew you were such a snob. A snob?

What? I am so not a snob.

I'm just doing my best to try to fit in, that's all.

Plus, I really think Will is starting to like me.

He likes you? Or who are you pretending to be?

Can't you see that just for once I want to be normal?

But you're not normal, Maya. You're a do -little.

Yeah, well, not out here, I'm not.

I just hate not talking to you.

You're my best friend.

I'm sorry.

I know I shouldn't be taking any of this out on you. I know you're just trying

to help.

About time you gave the dog his due.

And I guess it's okay if all the animals know, but...

We have to make sure no people find out. What?

You think I'm going to tell them? If you could, yeah.

Wait, where have you been all morning?

You know, just different things. I love it here. The wide open spaces and the

straw. Yeah, you met the collie, haven't you? Yeah.

She is smoking.

Forget it. We can't break him.

Besides, we need the money.

Wait, you're going to sell him alive?

Pretty as he is. He ain't no use to us if we won't let nobody ride him.

What's his name?

Doesn't have one.

Well, maybe you should name him.

I don't even know where to begin.

Name's Butch.

You must be Maya.

How about Butch?

Why Butch?

My mama gave me that name.

You got a problem with that cowboy?

I don't know.

Maybe he just looks like a butch to me.

All right.

Then Butch it is.

You think you could do something for me?

I got this rock in my shoe. It's been driving me nuts all day.

I'd love to.

Come on. Up, Butch.

Thanks, kid. I guess I owe you one.

No problem.

But why won't you just let them break you? I'm a stallion, sweetheart.

And stallions don't break that easy.

Well... You know if they can't break you, they're going to sell you, right?

Hey, if they're going to sell me anyway, I might as well go down swinging.

Wait, what do you mean if they're going to sell you anyway?

Look around, kid.

Judd's been selling off animals for weeks. The place is starting to look

ghost town.

That's so sad.

Tell me about it.

Hey, Pops. Huh?

Ain't that the darndest thing? Look at that.

The stallion actually let her touch him. You mean to say you went off to college

for a year and you still haven't figured out that there's more to a woman than

just a pretty smile?

Still learning, pops.

Every day, son. Every day.

Yeah, that's pretty impressive the way you got on with Butch back there.

You have a lot of pets at home?

Me?

No.

What would make you think that? I mean, I love them and everything, if that's

what you're asking. But I wouldn't say I was an expert.

So, what about you?

You seem pretty in tune with them yourself.

Let's just say I understand them a lot more than I understand people.

I mean, especially you girls.

See, you never have to guess what an animal is feeling.

You know, I think that hay this morning gave me the runch.

Unfortunately, I know exactly what you mean.

Well, uh, nice talking to you.

Uh -huh.

You too.

Oh, look who we got here.

Amazing.

You're wonderful.

Durangos. Let's go see these little guys.

Take a good look from over there, Durangos.

It's as close as you're going to get. But you're not welcome over here. Like

care, little Lord Fauntleroy.

Watch it, girl.

What? I'm going to watch your mouth. Hey, hey, look. Knock it off, all right,

guys?

Let's knock it off.

You'll probably enjoy your summer, though, Bo.

Looks like it's going to be your last.

Hey, what is that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

Nothing at all, man.

Let's just go, y 'all.

That's right.

Tuck tail and run.

Seems to be the only thing you and your dad are good at teaching over there.

Guess we'll see you later, huh?

Come on, boy.

Let's get going.

Let's go. See you later, Durango.

Get out of here.

Yeah.

Cattle drive? Sleep outside?

Haven't they ever heard of ticks?

Well, the word is that college comes. Hey, you know me. I love working the

That's the spirit, gang. See, the more we work together, the better off we'll

be. Taking care of her will be.

See, ranching's all about teamwork.

Hey, hear that?

Maybe us two should buddy up.

You're not that lucky.

Ah, shucks. Looks like I left some of the army blankets in the gear hut. I'll

right back.

Oh, no, no, no. You stay put. I'll go get them. Oh, well, thank you. Listen,

that helps, little liar.

Hey, Judge, that doesn't think he has a bow. Ow! Oh, ow! Wait, wait, wait!

Careful, wait! Ow!

But it's going to be one long ride.

I wonder why he never said anything.

Hey, Dad, something's going on with you. You gonna tell me or you just gonna

keep it bottled up like you always do? I know I should have told you sooner, Bo,

but the bank's gonna foreclose on this place in a couple of weeks if I don't

catch up on the payments.

We'll figure out a way to get the money.

We always do.

This is the open range, gang.

So far, we've been teaching you individual skills.

When you get out here, we all put our skills together in what we call

Hey, Ted.

You really like it out here, huh?

Oh, I love it.

It's my days like this that make me understand why the settlers moved west

risked everything they had.

It was their destiny.

That's one thing I've come to find out.

Can't fight your destiny, man.

No matter how much you think it might cost, can't fight it.

Hey, Pop, I went all the way down to the river, you know, over there by Silver

Spurs.

Spotted the herd just down the way up here, about half a mile.

Hey, gang, now listen up.

Now me and Bo do most of the cutting.

But you kids feel free to jump in any time you want, okay? Okay.

Go ahead, bro. Lead line. Come on, boy.

going to miss this place too, girl.

Nobody else move a muscle.

I'm going to die. I'm going to die. No, you're not going to die. Nobody's going

to die on my watch, baby.

Besides, his bark is a lot worse than his bite. Move.

You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

Yo, who killed the light?

You know, I heard they taste like chicken.

Thank

you.

Lucky, was that a wolf?

Wolf, wolf.

Eat those chumps for breakfast.

Care for a midnight stroll? Yep.

Why don't I get inside here and rescue you?

So, how do you like it?

The whole being a cowboy thing.

Oh, no.

I mean, I spent the past year as a freshman at Palo Alto.

Really?

Well, you know, Palo Alto's not that far from San Francisco.

I've been thinking the same thing.

You know, it's a great night.

The best.

The best.

The best.

Cattle drive. More like a cattle marathon, right?

There it is.

That's the Bickerman place.

It's great, isn't it?

I tell you, I never get tired of looking at it.

Tell me pops. I mean, what do you think they've earned a night on the town?

I thought we were going to sniff each other.

I like

this

place. It's not my usual crowd, but I like it.

Oh, yeah?

So what's your usual crowd, then?

Well, this might sound a little corny, but I think I'm just now figuring that

out.

Check it out.

Easy, fat boy.

Isn't that a weight limit here?

Great. Hi.

So you aren't thinking what I think you're thinking.

There comes a time in every man's life when he has to put his foot down, Tyler,

and draw a line in the sand.

Yeah, but does it have to be here? Yes.

Against them? Yes.

Let's see what you got. All right.

Be careful, please.

Why don't I show you losers how a real cowboy does it, all right? Why don't you

bring it up a few notches and let me show off a little bit?

Here we go.

Take a good look, Durango.

You care to take a shot at the title?

Or are you still a has -been, Bo?

Durango.

I'm leaving in an hour.

Ouch.

Like there's trouble in paradise.

I already took my stand.

The freak that talks to animals.

You're such a weirdo. You need to start thinking about who you really are. Can't

fight your destiny, Maya.

Woo!

All right!

Yeah!

Now hold your horses, everyone.

Looks like we got a last -minute addition from Durango.

I sure hope she sings better than I write. Not the only one.

hip -hop but this is a little something that I like to call hip -hop.

Check it out.

Anything I'm dressed with.

What's left of the livestock to Silver Spurs or the bank will foreclose, and

wind up with nothing.

Okay, Bo.

Bring them all in.

That's really good.

Well, there's no easy way to say this, so I'm going to go ahead and get it over

with.

Looks like I'm going to have to let the ranch go.

What? Got to let it go.

You're kidding, right?

I'm afraid not, Brooklyn.

leave? I don't know.

I wish there was something to do.

Let's just get some grub, guys.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but we're not even hungry.

Excuse me, ma 'am.

Sorry to wake you, ma 'am, but your presence has been requested in the barn.

Whatever it is, make it quick.

I don't want anyone to... See me out here.

You're the only one who can help us, Maya. You are our only hope.

I don't know what to tell you guys.

I can't stop Judd from selling the ranch.

I wish I could, but there's nothing I can do. Maybe the other kids would help

you just tell them who you are.

I can't just announce to everybody that the animals asked me to save the ranch.

They'll think I'm crazy.

Don't you mean Bo will think you're crazy?

No.

Yeah.

Look, you guys, I can't lose him. You're not losing anybody.

You're a do -little. They'll understand.

That's the problem, Butch. They won't understand.

Other kids never do.

We can't do this without you.

You're our voice, Maya.

Sorry.

Do little?

Huh. More like do nothing.

Maya, you gotta tell him the truth.

Old Red.

Well, it's going to be about that time, huh?

Well, even though we weren't able to finish the summer off properly, I want

every one of you to know that I believe in each and every one of you.

Now, y 'all might be city folk, but you got a lot of talent and you got a lot of

heart.

That's not something that's too easy to find in folks these days.

Well, y 'all take care, yeah?

We'll see you, Red.

Yeah. See you, big fella. Yeah. Lay off them burgers here.

Thank you so much. Thank you. I had so much fun. God bless you. Thanks.

I'm so sorry, Joe.

Don't you worry, sweetie.

We'll be just fine.

Drive careful, sonny.

Poor Judd.

Did you see the look on his face when we drove off?

Yeah.

I just wish there was something we could have done.

This sucks.

You guys are like the coolest friends I've ever had.

Coolest or only?

What? You know what.

It's time, Maya. Time for you to be a do -little again.

I know I'm just a dog, but if they really are your friends, and if Bo

cares about you, then they'll accept you, no matter who you are.

But only if you accept yourself first.

Why?

Because I know how we can save the ranch.

This ought to be good.

We enter the rodeo this weekend as a team and win the $50 ,000 prize.

Think about it.

Clayton has already proven that he can wrangle a steer.

And Tyler has become a pro at the rope now.

And come on, Brooklyn can ride circles around anybody.

Well, yeah, but what about the bull ride?

Who's going to do that?

I saw all your trophies the day I went to go get the blankets in the hut.

You were the best bull rider in the whole state.

Look, Maya, it's too little too late. I mean, even if I did ride the rodeos this

weekend, I mean, we'd never be ready in time.

Well, what if I told you we also had a secret weapon?

Something that no other ranch has, not even Silver Spurs.

What would that be?

Me.

No offense, but I didn't really see you do anything special, except sing.

My real name isn't Maya Dolores Haynes.

It's Maya Doolittle.

And... And I can talk to animals.

Right. And I'm the poster boy for Jenny Craig.

I'm serious, Clayton. I knew you looked familiar.

I see your dad on the news all the time. Yes.

And look, I'm sorry I lied to you guys, but I just didn't want you to look at me

like I was some kind of freak or something.

The point is, all the animals came to me, and they really don't want to be

They love Durango as much as we do.

And the way I see it, they can tell us exactly what we need to do to win.

You know what?

That might actually work.

What the heck? I'm in.

If it's going to help Judd out, I'm with you, girl.

Time to cowboy up, everybody.

So,

what do you think, Mom?

Look, I'm sorry I lied to you.

But it was just because I liked you. Out of all the time that we spent together

and all the things that we said to one another, you wait until now to tell me

that you can talk to animals.

Look, back home, I was considered a weirdo.

And that's why my mom sent me here.

So I can make a fresh start.

It may have taken me a little longer than it probably should have, but...

wait.

If you let me finish, there's something else that I'd like to ask you.

Do you have any idea how cool that is?

Look, I understand if you... Wait, what did you say?

I said that that's just about the coolest thing that I've ever heard.

I mean, I've practically spent my whole life wishing that I could talk to

animals. And you can.

I hate to say I told you so.

So, wait, wait, so you're not mad?

Mad? Oh, sweetie, come here.

Now, why would I be mad?

I mean, other than the fact that, you know, I have to ride this 2 ,000 -pound

animal that wants to kill me. I mean... I mean, no, I'm not... I'm cool.

I'm good.

Come on, we got a meeting that we got to interrupt.

All right? Come on.

All I need is a signature, Judd.

Here you go, Judd.

You can keep it if you like.

It's a souvenir.

Wait.

Don't sign anything.

Oh, hold on, Tiger. Your daddy's just about to finish some business. No, you

hold your horses, Walter.

Sounds like my son needs to speak to me.

What's going on?

What you two doing here?

What brings you all over here?

Speak up.

I'm not who you think I am, Jed.

Oh, I know just who you are, Miss Doolittle.

Wait, you mean you know all this time?

Mm -hmm. Well, why didn't you say anything?

I figured you'd tell us when you got good and ready.

Well, I'm ready now.

We all want to enter the rodeo as a team and win the prize money.

Look, I can get all the animals to cooperate.

If, of course, you don't sell them and you promise to let them stay.

And just who are we going to get to ride a bull for eight seconds on? Tell me

that.

No, that is not gonna happen. Now, we've been over this a hundred times before,

Bo. The doctor said if you take one more fall like you did last time, you might

never walk again. No, sir.

No. Not gonna happen. I'm not willing to take that. Look, but I am, okay?

Bo? Look, it's my life, Dad, and it's my choice.

And I've made it, okay? Look, I'm not gonna let them take the ranch from us.

the gang's all here.

And we can do this, Judd.

Together.

As a team.

Just like you taught us on the cattle drive.

Oh, what the hell are you thinking? At the very least, you sure put Walter's

shorts in a bunch.

Gentlemen, it seems there's been a change of plans.

I'll see you at the rodeo.

Looks like I got myself a team.

Judd, I mean... I know where we're going.

Move it, Brooklyn. The only thing that's going to hurt you is the ground.

29 seconds.

Is that good?

The winning time is 13.

Wait, wait here a second.

I got an idea.

Remember when you said you owed me one?

Well, I'm taking you up on that offer.

What do you mean?

I mean you're the biggest and strongest horse out here.

If we have any shot of winning the rodeo, we need you to let Tyler and

ride you in their event.

You mean me, an untamed stallion in a real rodeo?

I would be honored.

Well, I hope that's fun.

Hey, beefcake, when you gotta go, you gotta go.

What's he saying? He's just giving a little constructive criticism, but he

you're doing great.

You should walk like a man.

Well, a lot of good that does me. I'm a rooster. Remember?

twice before calling your cat stupid.

Can I get you there?

Yeah, if it's not moving. So, are you nervous?

A little, I guess.

Why, are you?

Well, I just don't want anybody to get hurt out there.

I won't worry about it too much. I mean, those guys should be fine.

Yeah, well, it's not them that I'm worried about.

Looks like she's about to slip in the old tangarooski.

No, I wasn't.

Please, I may be from right here in the good old U .S. of A., but trust me, I

have been to France plenty of times.

You were once big puppy. Do you know that?

time state wrestling champ.

All of you know I once shoved a whole box of Twinkies in my mouth without

swallowing it.

First up, Chip Wood.

Listen, Brooklyn, I know you're not that crazy about me and you think I'm some

kind of spoiled brat or something, but I think the way you ride is amazing.

Thank you. Now get out there and kick some butt, would you?

Come on, let's go!

If we go into the bull ride, it'll be the second or third place, okay? But

lost right now. Yeah. We're only 20 points away from being in second. Look,

we win every event from here on in, the money's ours. Come on, now, put it in

together. Everybody, Durango on three. Durango on three. Everybody.

One, two, three.

Durango!

Hey, guys.

Look, I just wanted to give you a little heads up.

I heard that Silver Spurs is planning on having Veal to celebrate.

What's Veal?

You are, man.

Main course.

One down, two to go.

Hey. Hey.

You talk to the stairs?

No, but I have a plan.

And I want you to close your eyes.

All right.

And I want you to picture donuts.

But not just any donuts.

Glazed donuts.

And not just any glazed donuts.

Fresh.

Hot out of the oven glazed donuts.

Now you are speaking my language.

And most importantly, I want you to picture those hot glazed donuts on the

of this steer.

Whoa. Okay, let me out.

definitely do not steal their donuts, either.

Looks like it's time for some barrel racing. Give our teams a round of

as they get to the ringing order of the standings.

Hey, what's the matter?

My hand.

I think I busted it up.

Okay, well, just let me take a look at it.

Just be careful, because it really hurts.

Oh,

my God!

God, that really hurts!

Can she ride?

No.

It's definitely broken.

It's okay, guys.

It's over, though.

Team Durango, you have one minute... I'm sorry.

...to mount your horse.

No, it's not.

Not yet, anyway.

What are you doing? Yeah, what are you doing?

Welcome aboard.

Thanks.

What does it look like I'm doing? But you haven't even trained for this event,

okay? Look, you said the hardest part of bear resting is the ground.

So I just won't hit it.

All right.

I'll go tell them that we have another rider.

Just hold on tight, and I'll take care of the rest.

Sounds like a plan.

Come on.

Pay attention and don't fall off or you'll be dead.

Boy, you're just joking, right?

Mom?

Yo, Maya.

Hey, you don't have to do this, you know.

Yes, I do.

If it was me, you would have done the same thing. I gotta apologize for being

such a jerk to you all summer.

I guess I'm not exactly good at getting along with people when I'm jealous of

them.

Listen, I want you to go out there. I want you to make us proud.

I got you. The time to beat is 16 seconds.

Wait, you were just kidding about that whole die thing, right?

Hello?

Relax, son.

You're gonna tell that to him.

Don't worry, I will.

No. Maya, look.

This is something that I need to do on my own, okay?

Why, did he say something?

Nothing you want to hear.

Okay, I'm not going to lie to you again.

He said prepare to meet your maker, but he said it in a nice way.

Great. I feel better now.

Wake up, Bo. Come on, son.

You all right?

Come on, Bo.

Wake up, son.

It's official, folks.

Bo Jones managed to stay on for the full eight seconds.

You hear that, Bo?

Son?

Not bad for a has -been, huh?

Well, now, it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you where we were going.

I just want to thank you properly for helping us save the ranch.

You're welcome.

One second, sweetie.

You're welcome.

I would tell you I got a lot of other things to thank you for.

Come on.

Wait, where is everybody anyway?

Okay, who are you and what have you done with Maya?

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Mommy, thank you so much.

Oh, happy birthday.

I didn't do it all myself.

I had a little help from your friends.

If you two are done shrieking, can the folks be like a word with you?

Wait, I'll be right back.

You know, you look the same as you did when you were 16.

Thanks. And thanks for taking care of my little girl.

No, actually, it's kind of funny. I think she's the one that's been taking

of us.

Hey.

Maya, for what you did, this is our way of saying thanks.

We'd have gotten you a gift, but we're broke.

Please, I should be thanking you guys.

We couldn't have done it without you.

Oh, come on. Go on. Enjoy your party. You deserve it. All right. I'll see you

guys later. Bye.

Hey, Maya, thanks for helping me find my mojo.

from Stanford.

Brooklyn and Maya talk every day. Go figure, huh?

Tyler's coming back to Durango next year to teach roping. And Clayton, well,

Clayton lost his baby fat and he's not considered quite the catch with the

ladies. But the important thing is, Maya's doing great.

Happy to be exactly who she is.

I do little.

As for me, I'm still the old dog I've always been.

Only now I got a country gal.

Well, I like to visit when the city babes get me down.

City babes?
