NO, LISA, YOU WERE INTERFERING IN MY LIFE!

GIVING OUT MY E-MAIL ADDRESS

TO SOME GUY I DON'T EVEN KNOW

BECAUSE MY LOVE LIFE IS JUST SO PATHETIC!

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!

I DON'T KNOW...

THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.

(CELL PHONE RINGING) IT'S ASHLEY.

I SWEAR SHE CALLS ME LIKE 10 TIMES A DAY.

REALLY.

YEAH, HER MOM'S STILL DRIVING HER NUTS.

OH, POOR BABY.

HEY, I LIKE HER. SHE'S A GOOD KID.

(READING) "HI THERE, STRANGER.

FOR WHATEVER REASON I'M THINKING ABOUT YOU.

I WANT FATE TO MAKE ITS MOVE.

PETER."

CARPE DIEM.

(WIND CHIMES CLANG)

(HORSE WHINNIES)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(TRUCK RUMBLES LOUDLY)

WORKER: HURRY UP! HURRY UP! HURRY UP!

(ATV RUMBLES)

(MACHINE WHIRRING LOUDLY)

(WATER SPRAYS)

(MACHINE HUMS)

LOU: GOOD MORNING, GUS!

(DOOR OPENING)

GUS: GOOD MORNING, LOU.

IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?

YUP.

CINNAMON BUNS.

YOU KNOW WHAT MY WIFE WOULD CALL THESE?

CORONARIES IN A BASKET.

DON'T GO GIVING ALL THE GOODIES TO GUS.

OH, DON'T YOU WORRY, NORM.

YOU GET YOUR VERY OWN BASKET.

NOW WOULD YOU FELLAS LIKE TO DO SOMETHING TODAY?

TRAIL RIDE? HIKE?

NAW, WE'RE JUST GONNA GO FISHING AGAIN.

OKAY.

WELL, IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MINDS,

YOU JUST LET ME KNOW.

YOU DID PAY FOR THE ALL-INCLUSIVE PACKAGE

AFTER ALL.

WE LEAVING YOU AT LOOSE ENDS?

OH, NOT AT ALL.

THIS'LL GIVE ME A CHANCE TO CATCH UP ON MY PAPERWORK.

(COMPUTER PINGS)

(READING AS SHE WRITES) YOU...

YOU CHECKED IN THREE MINUTES AGO.

(COMPUTER PINGS)

(CHUCKLES)

AMY: THERE YOU GO, ACORN. THAT'S A GOOD BOY.

OKAY.

(PANS CLANG LIGHTLY)

GOOD BOY...

(YELLING) HEY!

(ACORN WHINNIES WILDLY)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT POOR HORSE!

AMY: SHH! MALLORY!

(WHISPERING) SORRY.

IT'S JUST THAT HE'S SUPER-SENSITIVE TO NOISE.

IT MAKES HIM SPOOKY AND DANGEROUS TO RIDE.

SO WE'RE BUILDING UP HIS RESISTANCE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? IS HE READY FOR A TEST-DRIVE?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T WANNA RUSH IT.

WHATEVER YOU SAY, BOSS.

I LIKE THAT... THE BOSS THING.

(CHUCKLING) YOU WOULD LIKE THAT.

TY AND AMY: (LAUGHING)

LOU: OH YES.

ABSOLUTELY.

TRANQUILITY IS OUR MIDDLE NAME.

UH, LOU...

SHHH...

NAMASTE TO YOU TOO.

OKAY.

GREAT!

THAT WAS SOMEONE FROM THE THIRD EYE YOGA CENTRE

IN EDMONTON.

HE WANTS TO BOOK THE ENTIRE DUDE RANCH

FOR A MEDITATION RETREAT NEXT WEEK.

THAT'S UH...

AND I HAVE TWO GUESTS RIGHT NOW WHO ARE PAYING TOP DOLLAR.

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS BAKE THEM CINNAMON BUNS.

UH, THAT'S GREAT.

LISA: YOO HOO!

HI.

THANK YOU.

LISA.

LOU.

(SIGHING)

UM, LOU WAS JUST SAYING

THAT BUSINESS AT THE DUDE RANCH

IS BOOMING.

GREAT.

(DISTANT EXPLOSION)

(GLASS CLINKING)

(HORSE WHINNIES WILDLY)

AMY: EASY, EASY, EASY.

(HORSE WHINNIES WILDLY)

AMY: EASY. GOOD BOY.

WHAT WAS THAT?

GOOD BOY.

JACK: IT MUST BE BEDFORD OIL.

I'VE HEARD THEY'RE DOING SOME TESTING AROUND HERE.

TY: YEAH, BUT THEY CAN'T JUST COME ON YOUR LAND

WITHOUT PERMISSION.

JACK: NO, NO THEY CAN'T,

BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP THEM

FROM GETTING ON NEIGHBOURING FIELDS

OR ON ROAD ALLOWANCES THAT GO THROUGH YOUR PROPERTY.

YEAH, BUT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE US SOME KIND OF NOTICE.

JACK: FORTY-EIGHT HOURS.

LOU: WELL, WE DEFINITELY DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE.

MALLORY: (DISTANT EXPLOSION) UM, ACTUALLY...

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUNK MAIL AND I NEEDED A BOOKMARK.

(DISTANT EXPLOSION) SORRY.

LOU: (SIGHING)

(RESPONDING ALOUD) NOT GREAT.

YOURS?

(COMPUTER PINGS)

(SIGHING HEAVILY)

(SIGHING DRAMATICALLY)

MALLORY, YOU HAVE YOUR OWN ROOM.

USE IT.

WHY CAN'T CATHERINE AND HEATHCLIFF

JUST SEE THAT THEY'RE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER!

AND WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M GONNA FLUNK ALGEBRA

IF I DON'T STUDY?

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

HEY, DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE?

(SIGHING)

YEAH, I GOT NOTHING BUT TIME.

LOU: GREAT.

I NEED TO TALK TO MY SISTER ALONE.

YOU KNOW, I'M PRACTICALLY YOUR SISTER

NOW THAT I'M LIVING HERE.

OUT!

WHAT IS IT?

OKAY, SO,

A FEW WEEKS BACK, LISA TRIES TO SET ME UP

WITH THIS LIKE FRIEND OF A FRIEND OF A FRIEND

AND SHE GIVES THIS VIRTUAL STRANGER

MY EMAIL ADDRESS.

WOW, THAT'S NOT COOL.

I KNOW. THANK YOU.

ANYWAY, SO THIS GUY EMAILS ME

AND YADA YADA YADA

WE'VE BEEN HAVING THESE ONLINE CHATS AND WHATEVER.

IT'S BEEN KIND OF NICE.

WAIT A SECOND.

LISA TRIES TO SET YOU UP WITH THIS GUY

AND YOU'RE MAD AT HER

BECAUSE IT'S BEEN KIND OF NICE?

OKAY, NO, THERE ARE MANY REASONS I AM MAD AT LISA

AND THAT IS NOT THE POINT. THE POINT...

THE POINT IS THAT...

THIS GUY WANTS TO MEET ME, LIKE FACE TO FACE.

SO, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

I DON'T KNOW. LIKE WHAT IF...

WHAT IF HE DOESN'T LIVE UP TO THE EXPECTATION

I HAVE IN MY HEAD?

AND WHAT IF YOU DON'T LIVE UP TO THE EXPECTATION

HE HAS IN HIS HEAD?

WHAT IF HE'S SHORT AND HAIRY?

MALLORY: OR A COLD-BLOODED KILLER.

I READ ABOUT THIS GIRL

WHO MET UP WITH HER INTERNET BOYFRIEND;

THEY FOUND HER BODY A WEEK LATER

CHOPPED UP IN BITS.

(DOOR SLAMS)

OKAY... SAY YOU MEET THIS GUY.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIM,

YOU NEVER HAVE TO SEE HIM AGAIN, RIGHT?

BUT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T MEET HIM,

MAYBE YOU'LL ALWAYS SIT AROUND WONDERING

IF YOU MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY

TO MEET THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS.

MALLORY: OR AN AXE MURDERER!

(CHUCKLING)

(RESPONDING ALOUD) HOW ABOUT TUESDAY?

(KEYBOARD KEYS CLICK)

MAGGIE'S DINER.

SAM.

(COMPUTER PINGS)

(NERVOUS EXHALE)

AMY: OKAY, ACORN,

YOU HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A FREAK-OUT YESTERDAY,

BUT WE'RE GONNA BE OKAY TODAY, RIGHT?

YES, YOU'RE A GOOD BOY.

(PAN CLANGS, ACORN WHINNIES WILDLY)

TY: OH, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY.

AMY: EASY. THAT'S OKAY.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

THAT STUPID SEISMIC TESTING

HAS PUT ME BACK TO SQUARE ONE.

THANKS.

CALEB: AMY.

LOOK, UH...

YOU THINK WE COULD TALK?

I'M KIND OF BUSY RIGHT NOW.

JUST COME ON.

AMY: CAN YOU JUST LET GO OF ME?

CALEB: NO, LOOK, NOT UNTIL I EXPLAIN.

YES, ASHLEY SPENT THE NIGHT AT MY HOUSE;

SHE JUST CAME OVER TO TALK.

WHAT, DO YOU THINK I'M STUPID?

'CAUSE YOU'RE TREATING ME LIKE I AM.

NO, I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.

YEAH, YOU AND ASHLEY ALONE, ALL NIGHT, JUST TALKING.

YEAH.

AMY: I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, CALEB.

I MEAN, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY NOTHING BETWEEN US

SO THERE'S NOTHING TO EXPLAIN.

HEY THERE, COWBOY.

ASH.

THANKS FOR THE OTHER NIGHT.

I REALLY NEEDED SOMEONE TO LISTEN.

NO WORRIES.

I MISS MY BARREL RACING LESSONS.

WELL, ANY TIME YOU WANNA START UP AGAIN.

HI, MRS. STANTON.

MOM, YOU REMEMBER CALEB.

OH, OF COURSE. NICE TO SEE YOU.

COFFEE'S GETTING COLD, SWEETIE.

LET'S GO.

SO, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

YEAH.

WE WERE JUST HAVING A CONVERSATION.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BE SO RUDE.

RUDE? HOW WAS I RUDE?

OH, COME ON, MOM.

BESIDES, WHAT KIND OF A CONVERSATION

CAN YOU HAVE WITH HIM ANYWAY?

EXCUSE ME?!

(CHUCKLING)

RODEO'S OVER, SWEETIE.

TIME TO "GIT ALONG."

HE'S ACTUALLY A REALLY NICE GUY.

OH, PLEASE.

HE'S THE ONLY GUY THAT REALLY GETS ME, YOU KNOW?

YEAH? GETTING WHAT HE WANTS

IS PROBABLY CLOSER TO THE TRUTH.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

OH, YES I DO.

GUYS LIKE HIM WANT ONE THING ONLY,

BELIEVE ME.

I HAVE LIVED A LOT LONGER THAN YOU HAVE, SWEETIE.

YEAH, WELL,

YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK A FEW TIMES.

EXCUSE ME?!

ASHLEY, GET BACK IN THE CAR!

(LOUD EXPLOSIONS)

(WATER SPRAYS)

(MACHINE WHIRS LOUDLY)

(DRILL RATTLES)

(DISTANT EXPLOSION)

THIS STUPID TESTING HAD BETTER END SOON!

I MEAN, WHAT'S A MEDITATION RETREAT

WITHOUT EXPLOSIONS?

YOU'D BETTER HOPE THEY DON'T FIND ANY OIL.

IT WOULDN'T MATTER.

GRANDPA WOULD NEVER LET THEM DRILL

ON HEARTLAND.

HOW LONG WERE YOU IN NEW YORK?

FOUR YEARS.

OH MY GOD. I GOTTA GET YOU UP TO SPEED

ON OIL COMPANIES AND RANCHERS' RIGHTS.

MALLORY, I GREW UP HERE.

OKAY, SAY THEY FIND SIGNS OF OIL.

ME AND YOU BOTH KNOW

THAT JACK WOULD NEVER GIVE THEM PERMISSION

TO DRILL ON HIS PROPERTY.

EXACTLY.

SO THE OIL COMPANY WILL APPLY

TO THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT BOARD

TO GET PERMISSION,

WHICH THEY'LL MOST LIKELY GET.

BUT IT'S OUR LAND.

ON THE SURFACE.

BUT WHAT'S UNDERNEATH IS USUALLY OWNED BY THE CROWN.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?

MY MOM TRIED TO HELP A NEIGHBOUR

WHEN HE TRIED TO STOP AN OIL COMPANY

FROM DRILLING ON HIS LAND.

AND DID THEY SUCCEED?

NO.

NOW HE HAS A HUGE UGLY PUMP

A HUNDRED METRES AWAY FROM HIS KITCHEN WINDOW.

PICTURE THIS:

THEM BUILDING A PUMP RIGHT THERE,

AND THERE'D BE NOTHING YOU COULD DO ABOUT IT.

OH YES THERE IS.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

LOU: BE BACK LATER

AND THOSE OUTHOUSES HAD BETTER BE CLEAN!

NICE.

(TRUCK DOOR SLAMS SHUT)

(KNOCKING)

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU COULD USE A ROOMMATE?

ASHLEY: SO, WHAT DO YOU SAY?

CALEB: UH, IT'S NOT SUCH A GOOD IDEA, ASH.

WHY NOT?

FIRST OFF, MY PLACE IS ABOUT THE SIZE

OF YOUR SHOE CLOSET

AND IT SMELLS LIKE A LOCKER ROOM.

OH, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT STUFF.

PLEASE?

LOOK, I PROMISE I WON'T CRAMP YOUR STYLE

AND IT'S JUST TILL I CAN FIND A PLACE OF MY OWN.

LET ME GUESS,

YOU GOT IN ANOTHER FIGHT WITH YOUR MOM.

SHE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY.

I JUST FEEL SO CLAUSTROPHOBIC.

OUT HERE, I FEEL LIKE I CAN BREATHE.

YEAH, WELL, DON'T BREATHE TOO DEEP.

(SMALL CHUCKLE)

RIGHT, THE LOCKER ROOM.

SO...

DOES THAT MEAN THAT I CAN STAY?

I GUESS SO.

ASHLEY: OH! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

BUT ONLY FOR A FEW DAYS.

YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR CAR.

HIDE IT UP THE HIGHWAY OR SOMETHING.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YEAH.

YOU CAN'T TELL ANYONE YOU'RE STAYING HERE, OKAY?

AW, ARE YOU WORRIED YOU'RE GONNA SULLY

MY REPUTATION?

I'M WORRIED YOU'RE GONNA SULLY MINE.

(CHUCKLES)

CALEB: THANKS.

WE CAN'T JUST SIT BACK

AND LET BEDFORD OIL DO WHATEVER

THEY DAMN WELL PLEASE!

WELL, SO WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO THEN?

WE FIGHT BACK.

WE HOLD A TOWNHALL-STYLE MEETING RIGHT HERE...

HERE?

LOU: YEAH, YEAH, HERE!

AND WE INVITE EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY,

PLUS OUR MLA.

YOU KNOW, IF WE GET ENOUGH PEOPLE ON-SIDE,

WE COULD FORM A CITIZEN'S COALITION.

LET OUR MLA KNOW THAT...

THAT HE BETTER LISTEN IF HE WANTS TO BE RE-ELECTED.

JACK: I JUST SPENT ALL DAY

TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF SOMEONE AT BEDFORD OIL.

IT IS AN AUTOMATED MAZE.

"PRESS ONE NOW."

"PRESS FOUR NOW."

I THINK I LEFT A MESSAGE.

YEAH, THEY LOVE TO MAKE IT UNNECESSARILY COMPLICATED,

BUT, GRANDPA, KEEP TRYING.

I WANT ONE OF THEIR PEOPLE AT MY MEETING.

WHAT MEETING?

YOU TWO CAN COME UP WITH COPY FOR THE FLYERS.

AMY: FLYERS?

AND YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF COMMUNICATIONS.

YOU GET A LIST FROM THE HUDSON AG ASSOCIATION

AND CREATE A MASS EMAIL.

WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY

THEN RUN IT BY ME FOR APPROVAL.

AND WHAT'S YOUR JOB?

I DELEGATE.

LOOK, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY TO BE A PART OF THIS.

IT'S DEMOCRACY AT WORK.

OR A DICTATORSHIP.

TY AND AMY: (LAUGHING)

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN STANDING THERE?

"WUTHERING HEIGHTS" HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT, AMY.

AND I THINK IT'S STUPID

TO ACT LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE

WHEN YOU OBVIOUSLY DO.

AND ISN'T IT BETTER TO TALK ABOUT IT

INSTEAD OF STORING IT UP?

'CAUSE IF YOU JUST STORE IT ALL UP,

YOU END UP MISERABLE AND DEAD AND HAUNTING HOUSES

LIKE CATHERINE AND HEATHCLIFF!

ARE YOU DONE?

YES.

GOOD.

(COMPUTER PINGS)

(RESPONDING ALOUD) MUCH BETTER.

(KEYBOARD KEYS CLICKING)

(UNDER HER BREATH) ...WOLF.

(COMPUTER BEEPS, MESSENGER PINGS)

(CHUCKLING)

(TRUCK DOOR OPENING)

(HORSE SNORTS)

SHORTY.

I SLEPT LIKE A LOG.

GLAD TO HEAR IT.

WHY DON'T I GO INTO TOWN AND GET IS SOME COFFEE?

(CHUCKLING) WELL, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I KNOW HOW TO MAKE COFFEE.

EVEN BETTER.

(DIALING PHONE)

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

ALL RIGHT, BUDDY.

WE GOT ST. JOHN'S WORT AND CHAMOMILE...

TO CALM YOUR NERVES.

WANT SOME?

(MUNCHING) MMM.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

(SIGHING)

(BEEPS THROUGH MESSAGES)

(SIGHS)

(PHONE BEEPS)

LOU: HI, GUYS.

GUS: HI, LOU.

LISTEN, I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THAT NOISE YESTERDAY.

I REALLY HOPE IT DIDN'T DISTURB YOU.

NO, WE WERE FISHING ALL DAY.

OKAY, GREAT.

YOU GUYS GOING OUT AGAIN TODAY?

YUP.

ACTUALLY, UH,

WE WERE WONDERING IF WE COULD STAY A FEW MORE DAYS?

UM, I'LL HAVE TO CHECK MY BOOKINGS,

BUT I'LL GET BACK TO YOU ASAP.

THANKS.

(QUIETLY TO HERSELF) YES!

MMM, NOT ONLY CAN YOU MAKE COFFEE,

BUT YOU MAKE GOOD COFFEE.

(CHUCKLING)

(HORSE SNUFFLES)

GET INTO THE HOUSE!

WHY?

YOU'RE NOT HERE, OKAY?

ASHLEY: CALEB!

DID YOU GET MY MESSAGES?

YES, I DID. ALL 23 OF THEM.

THEY WERE VERY...

CHARMING?

REPETITIVE.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TAKE SHORTY OUT.

MAYBE YOU WANT TO COME FOR A RIDE TOGETHER?

MAYBE WE COULD.

(LOUD CLATTER FROM TRAILER)

CALEB: UH, COME ON. LET'S GO.

LOU: OH! OH MY GOSH!

P.W.: OH, COME ON!

OH, NO! I AM SO SORRY!

OH, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A GRADE-A KLUTZ.

I AM SO SORRY!

P.W.: NO, IT'S OKAY.

YOU'RE KIND OF JUST SPREADING IT AROUND NOW, ACTUALLY.

YOU'RE RIGHT. I AM JUST MAKING IT WORSE.

UGH.

KIND OF INTERESTING, ACTUALLY.

IT'S SORT OF JACKSON POLLACKY OR SOMETHING.

HEY, I CAN HAVE IT DRY-CLEANED,

IF YOU JUST TAKE IT OFF.

YOU WANT ME TO JUST TAKE MY SHIRT OFF

RIGHT HERE ON THE SIDEWALK?

YES. NO, NO. I...

HI, I'M P.W.

I'M LOU.

LET'S JUST START OVER.

ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

WHAT DO YOU SAY

WE JUST PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED.

I'VE KIND OF GOT THIS PERMANENT REMINDER HERE, SO...

SORRY. YEAH, SORRY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE LOU WOULD BE LIKE THAT.

BELIEVE IT.

IT MUST BE SO HARD FOR YOU AND JACK.

IT DOES NOT MAKE THINGS EASY, LET ME TELL YA.

HI. HEY.

MAGGIE, YOU MIND IF I THROW A FEW OF THESE FLYERS

ON THE COUNTER?

MAGGIE: HEY, BY ALL MEANS.

OH, YOU CAN COUNT ME IN.

BEDFORD OIL PUT A BUNCH OF WELLS ON MY LAND.

A COUPLE OF MY COWS GOT REAL SICK.

VAL: (CHUCKLING) OH, JOE,

YOUR COWS HAVE BEEN SICK FROM THE DAY YOU GOT THEM.

AND, LOU, NO OFFENSE,

BUT DO YOU HONESTLY THINK ONE WOMAN

CAN STOP THE OIL INDUSTRY IN ALBERTA?

I'M NOT TRYING TO STOP IT; I'M TRYING TO CHANGE IT.

OH, OH...

WELL, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

EVER HEARD OF NORMA RAE?

KAREN SILKWOOD?

TIM: HEY.

HOW'S MY GIRL? HEY, DAD.

CHECK IT OUT.

MAY I? HI.

HI.

YOU'RE GONNA TAKE ON BIG OIL WITH A FLYER...

AND A MEETING.

YOU FORGET WHAT PROVINCE YOU'RE LIVING IN?

DAD, I'M SERIOUS ABOUT THIS,

AND I WANT YOU TO BE THERE.

(SIGHING) OKAY, I'LL COME.

MALLORY: MALLORY WELLS, CHILD LABOURER, AT YOUR SERVICE!

NO JOB TOO BIG, NO JOB TOO CRAPPY!

CALEB: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

YEAH.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE NICE TOMORROW, TOO.

AMY, YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU

THAT ASHLEY'S JUST A FRIEND.

I WANT TO, CALEB, I REALLY DO.

I KNOW I JOKE AROUND A LOT,

BUT THE TRUTH IS I LIKE YOU.

WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN TOGETHER, RIGHT?

YEAH, WE DO.

I'LL RACE YOU TO THE RIVER.

YOU'RE ON. (SUCKS TEETH)

(GIGGLES)

MALLORY: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

AMY: I'VE BEEN TALKING WITH THE PERSON

THAT YOU WANTED ME TO TALK WITH

SO I WOULDN'T WIND UP DEAD AND MISERABLE

AND HAUNTING HOUSES.

MALLORY: REALLY? YOU TOOK MY ADVICE?

YUP.

I GUESS THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING.

OKAY, YOU KNOW THE GUYS THAT HAVE BEEN STAYING

AT THE DUDE RANCH;

THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN TELLING LOU

THEY'VE BEEN FISHING EVERY DAY?

YES. SO?

WELL, ALL THEIR FISHING GEAR IS IN THEIR CABINS,

AND I FOUND THIS IN THEIR DRAWER.

WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU WENT SNOOPING THROUGH THEIR CABINS,

PLUS YOU TOOK SOMETHING?

BORROWED IT. I BORROWED IT.

YOU'RE UNBELIEVABLE.

(SIGHS)

MALLORY: LOOK!

(MACHINES RUMBLING)

(WORKERS TALKING)

THEY'RE ON OUR LAND!

TY: AND THEY CUT THE FENCE!

(ATV RUMBLES)

(WORKERS SHOUTING)

(LOUD EXPLOSION, HORSE WHINNIES WILDLY)

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

AMY AND TY: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

(LOUD EXPLOSION)

(HORSES SNORT IN PANIC)

(LOUD EXPLOSIONS)

THAT'S IT, I'M GOING OVER THERE.

AMY: TY, DON'T! STOP!

I'M SERIOUS, OKAY? I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU.

NOT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CATTLE RUSTLERS.

AMY, THESE GUYS DON'T HAVE GUNS.

I DON'T CARE.

THERE'S OTHER WAYS OF SOLVING THIS.

LET'S GO.

GOOD DAY OF FISHING, FELLAS?

UH, WE WENT HIKING INSTEAD.

OH...

THAT'S FUNNY. MY SISTER COULD HAVE SWORN

SHE SAW YOU WORKING WITH AN OIL CREW.

WELL, LOU,

WE FIND WE DON'T ALWAYS GET A WARM RECEPTION

WHEN WE SAY WE WORK FOR BEDFORD OIL.

NOW WHY WOULD THAT BE,

WHEN ALL YOU DO IS CUT HOLES IN PEOPLE'S FENCES

AND TRESPASS ON THEIR LAND TO DO YOUR TESTING?

WE NEVER CUT ANY HOLES IN ANY FENCE.

PLEASE. MY SISTER SAW YOU.

THEN YOUR SISTER NEEDS A TRIP TO THE OPTOMETRIST.

'CAUSE ANY HOLES IN YOUR FENCES WERE ALREADY THERE,

AND I'VE GOT AT LEAST TEN MEN WHO WILL SAY THE SAME.

WELL, I CHECKED MY BOOKS AND IT TURNS OUT

I CAN'T ACCOMMODATE YOU FOR THOSE EXTRA DAYS.

IN FACT, I CAN'T ACCOMMODATE YOU AT ALL.

WE'RE PAID UP IN FULL UNTIL TOMORROW, LOU;

YOU JUST CAN'T KICK US OUT.

TY: HELL YES SHE CAN.

LOU: (SAYING ALOUD) HEY.

BEAT UP ON THE WOLF TODAY.

(MESSENGER PINGS)

(KEYBOARD KEYS CLACKING) HOW WILL I KNOW IT'S YOU?

(AMUSED EXHALE)

(READING) I CALLED THIS MEETING TODAY BECAUSE...

I REALIZE THAT AS RANCHERS WE ALL HAVE CONCERNS.

UH, THIS WILL GIVE US THE CHANCE

TO DISCUSS THOSE CONCERNS.

LISA: HELLO!

WELL, HI.

THOUGHT I'D CONTRIBUTE TO THIS EVENING

WITH A POT OF MY FAMOUS CHILI.

I ALREADY MADE CHILI, SO...

WELL, THEN YOU COULD PUT IT IN THE DAMN FREEZER.

THERE'S NO ROOM IN THE DAMN FREEZER.

JACK: WILL YOU TWO JUST GIVE IT A REST?!

LISA: I CERTAINLY WILL.

TIM: HI, LISA.

LOU: HEY, DAD.

UM...

DO YOU MIND IF I RUN MY SPEECH BY YOU?

WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

GREAT.

WHAT'S UP?

WELL...

WELL, I'M JUST THINKING,

IF YOU'RE REALLY GONNA TACKLE THIS,

CAN I GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE?

OKAY, DAD. SURE.

WELL, YOU KNOW THAT WORKING ON THE OIL RIGS SAVED MY LIFE.

SO... YOU GOTTA REMEMBER THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE

HAVE MADE A LOT OF MONEY FROM OIL,

WHETHER THEY'VE WORKED FOR THE BIG COMPANIES

OR OWN THEIR MINERAL RIGHTS FOR THEIR PROPERTIES.

OKAY. SO WHAT'RE YOU SAYING?

WELL, THE LAST FOUR MONTHS HAVE BEEN PRETTY TOUGH FOR ME.

YOU KNOW, I LOST MY WHOLE HERD.

YOU'D LET THEM ON YOUR PROPERTY?

YEAH, I SURE WOULD.

IF THEY FOUND OIL AT BIG RIVER,

WE'D NEVER WORRY ABOUT MONEY AGAIN.

WE?

WELL, I'D MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND AMY WERE LOOKED AFTER.

SO, IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY FOR YOU, HUH?

WELL, IT'S NOT JUST ME, LOU.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR GRANDPA WOULD DO

IF HE OWNED THE MINERAL RIGHTS TO HIS PROPERTY?

GRANDPA WOULDN'T LET BIG OIL ANYWHERE NEAR HEARTLAND

AND NEITHER WOULD I.

I ADMIRE YOUR CONVICTION.

I KNOW YOU THINK I'M A HYPOCRITE,

BUT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF HYPOCRITE IN ALL OF US.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

(PHONE BEEPING)

(PHONE BEEPING)

(PHONE BEEPING)

WHOA.

(HORSE SNUFFLES)

(DOOR SHUTTING)

AMY.

HI.

CALEB: AMY.

AMY: DON'T TALK TO ME, CALEB.

IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

(WOOD CLATTERING) AMY!

CALEB, I'M SO SORRY.

DON'T BE. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT,

IT'S MINE.

NOW I SEE OUR MLA HAS SENT A REPRESENTATIVE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I HAD ALSO HOPED BEDFORD OIL WOULD SEND SOMEONE,

BUT IT SEEMS THEY DIDN'T ACCEPT OUR INVITATION.

P.W.: OH, HOLD ON THERE.

I'M HERE, I'M HERE.

HI. P.W. MORRIS.

LOU?

OTHERS: (GRUMBLING ANGRILY)

AH, NO, NO, PLEASE.

UH, LET'S HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.

PLEASE. YEAH? GREAT.

HI.

(QUIETLY) I CHANGED MY SHIRT.

(CLEARS THROAT)

HOW ARE YOU ALL TONIGHT?

WELL, I'M GETTIN' THE COLD STARE HERE.

(CHUCKLES)

THAT'S OKAY, I UNDERSTAND YOUR ANGER.

I DO, UH...

SEE I GREW UP ON A FARM JUST OUTSIDE OF ESTEVAN,

AND, UH,

WELL, IF SOME STRANGER SO MUCH AS DROVE HIS TRUCK

ACROSS ONE OF OUR FIELDS,

MY OLD MAN WAS REACHING FOR HIS SHOTGUN.

(CHUCKLING) SO, SO I GET IT. I DO.

UM...

LISTEN, THE TRUTH IS,

THE OIL INDUSTRY HAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO

IN THE PR AREA,

AND WE GOTTA WORK WITH YOU FOLKS.

WE GOTTA CHANGE.

RANCHERS: (MURMURING)

P.W.: BUT I GOTTA TELL YA, MY COMPANY MAY BE SMALL,

BUT WE ARE RECOGNIZED AS INDUSTRY LEADERS

IN ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLINESS.

WE'RE ACTIVELY RESEARCHING CARBON CAPTURE

AND STORAGE TECHNOLOGY,

LAND RECLAMATION.

WE ARE 110 PERCENT COMMITTED TO FINDING A NICE BALANCE

BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND DEVELOPMENT.

NOW, I'VE GOTTA BE HONEST WITH YOU,

I'M PRETTY DARN PROUD OF THAT.

AND LET'S NOT FORGET THAT ON A MORE PRACTICAL NOTE,

I MEAN, LAST YEAR ALONE,

OVER FIVE BILLION DOLLARS WAS GIVEN BACK TO ALBERTANS

IN THE FORM OF ROYALTIES, SO...

JOE: WHAT ABOUT COMPENSATION TO RANCHERS

WHEN YOU DESTROY OUR LAND?

FIRST OFF,

BEDFORD TRIES PRETTY DARN HARD NOT TO DESTROY ANYTHING,

BUT IF WE DO ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY,

WE PAY FULL COMPENSATION. YOU JUST GIVE US A CALL.

JACK: IF YOU CAN GET THROUGH TO A HUMAN BEING

ON YOUR DAMN PHONE LINE.

P.W.: (CHUCKLING) WELL, HE'S RIGHT ON THAT.

THAT'S TRUE. OKAY.

WELL, WE ARE WORKIN' ON THAT. WE ARE.

NOW, LOOK, WE WANNA MOVE FORWARD

IN A FAIR AND COMMUNITY-MINDED WAY HERE,

AND LIKE THIS LOVELY LADY SAID,

WE DO WANNA WORK TOGETHER.

YOU CAN'T BUILD A GREAT MARRIAGE ON A BAD RELATIONSHIP.

IT JUST AIN'T GONNA WORK.

NOW, DON'T GET ME WRONG,

I'M NOT ASKING YOU FOLKS TO MARRY ME HERE, I JUST...

BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO BUILDING THAT RELATIONSHIP.

TRULY.

OTHERS: (APPLAUDING CAUTIOUSLY)

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR POINT OF VIEW.

WELL, THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

UH, BUT I HAVE TO ASK: DO WE LOOK NAIVE TO YOU?

EXCUSE ME?

WE MUST LOOK NAIVE

IF YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN JUST FEED US LINES

LIKE "COMMUNITY-MINDED" AND "ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY"

AND THINK THAT THAT'S ENOUGH;

THAT WE'LL SWALLOW THAT HAPPILY AND GO ON HOME.

YOU TALK ABOUT PROGRESS.

IS IT PROGRESS WHEN WE FIND OUR WATER SUPPLIES DEPLETED,

OR WORSE, CONTAMINATED?

IS IT PROGRESS WHEN ENTIRE COMMUNITIES

HAVE TO BE EVACUATED

TO ESCAPE THE FUMES FROM SOUR GAS WELLS?

IS IT PROGRESS WHEN WE SEE OUR FORESTS AND GRASSLANDS

BULLDOZED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES?

I'M SORRY,

BUT PROGRESS DOES NOT DESTROY A COMMUNITY,

IT ALLOWS IT TO FLOURISH.

RANCHERS: (MURMURING)

LOU: I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT

THE OIL INDUSTRY IS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE

IN THIS PROVINCE,

IN THIS ROOM,

BUT WE CANNOT ALLOW OURSELVES

TO BE BOUGHT.

RANCHERS: (MURMURING IN AGREEMENT)

BECAUSE IN THIS "RELATIONSHIP,"

BEDFORD OIL THINKS WE'RE A REAL CHEAP DATE.

RANCHERS AND P.W.: (CHUCKLING)

BUT I DON'T.

I THINK THAT WE ARE READY TO MAKE A STAND

AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE GONNA DO HERE TONIGHT.

WE DEMAND THE RIGHT

TO DENY DRILLING AND TESTING ON OUR PROPERTY.

WE DEMAND STRICT ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDELINES

AND THE WATER RIGHTS FOR OUR RANCHERS AND FARMERS.

AND I KNOW THIS IS JUST A START,

AND I AM NOT SO NAIVE

AS TO THINK THAT WE CAN TAKE ON

THE ENTIRE OIL INDUSTRY HERE,

BUT I PROMISE YOU, IF WE BAND TOGETHER,

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

AND FINALLY SEE SOME REAL PROGRESS.

OTHERS: (CLAPPING ENTHUSIASTICALLY)

I GOT ON THIS PETITION LAST NIGHT.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE GOT THE EAR OF OUR MLA;

HIS OFFICE JUST CALLED ME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT.

WELL, THAT'S AWESOME, LOU.

YOU MAY HAVE MORE SUPPORT THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

LET'S GO FOR A RIDE.

(TIRES CRUNCHING)

GUS: YOU CAN'T DO THIS. MOVE YOUR TRUCKS NOW.

TIM: WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

GUS: MOVE OR I'LL HAVE TO CALL THE COPS.

TIM: GO AHEAD.

GUS: LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

IF IT'S ABOUT ME AND AMY, IT'S OVER, ASH.

I MESSED THAT UP BEYOND REPAIR.

HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?

I WASN'T GONNA USE MY REAL NAME.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WORK FOR BEDFORD OIL?

I'LL HAPPILY ACCEPT.

MALLORY, IT'S OVER BETWEEN US.

NOTHING BIG. A BOX OF CHOCOLATE,

A PAIR OF EARRINGS...

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

I SAID IT'S OVER BETWEEN US. I CAN'T BE WITH A LIAR.

OKAY, TY MAY NOT BE PERFECT, BUT HE IS NOT A LIAR!

I'M TALKING ABOUT CALEB, NOT TY.

YOU MEAN THIS WHOLE TIME...

OH MY GOD, OF COURSE NOT CALEB!

I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT TY!

OUR CORRESPONDENCE, I ENJOYED IT VERY, VERY MUCH,

THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, RIGHT?

LIKE SHE'S GONNA SHOW UP

AND SHE'S GONNA LOOK LIKE A TRUCKER, BUT...

NOW YOU'RE HERE AND...

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA BE SHORT AND HAIRY.

(LAUGHING)

SEE, I JUST...

I THINK THAT WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON AND...

YOU KNOW, AND ONE VERY BIG THING

NOT IN COMMON.

LOOK, PETER,

YOU ARE A VERY ATTRACTIVE MAN, OKAY?

VERY, VERY ATTRACTIVE,

BUT THIS CAN NEVER WORK.

I MEAN, YOU STAND FOR THINGS THAT MAKE MY BLOOD BOIL...

SO? IT'D KEEP THINGS INTERESTING, RIGHT?

I MEAN...

IT COULD NEVER WORK.

YOU HAVE TO ADMIT, THAT WAS NICE, WASN'T IT?

PETER, I, I CAN'T.

NO, THAT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

OKAY.
