07x16 - The Comeback Kid

[bunniefuu]

Lou: Previously on "Heartland":

Ty: Amy, realistically, can we afford this place?

Do we have to be realistic?

Something crazy out of the blue just happened.

We could put this money down on the ranch.

Yeah! Yeah, you could.

You worked hard on this book deal.

Don't make me the reason that you don't go.

Georgie: I changed my mind.

I think that you and Katie should go on Lou's book tour.

I am gonna miss you guys, though.

Come here.

(Laughs)

(Truck rumbles)

Amy: You're here early.

Lou and Peter aren't expected back 'til this afternoon.

Tim: Yeah, I know. I was hoping Ty was around.

Well, actually, he's working an extra shift at the clinic.

Why, what's up?

Well, he's supposed to be doing some work on my truck, installing a new fuel t*nk, replacing some parts, but he hasn't been returning my calls.

He's been working crazy hours. I've barely seen him lately.

His crazy hours really aren't my problem.

I'm paying him to do a job.

Lou's gonna be getting home and she's gonna want her truck back.

(Hooves clop)

Hey, what's going on here?

Not a whole lot. It's been pretty slow lately.

Well, what about, uh, your prince?

I haven't really seen Ahmed in a while.

You know, honey, you need the work, he's got the money.

Pick up the phone, give him a call.

I don't know, dad.

You can't just sit and wait for things to happen.

You've gotta be a little more proactive.

Well, tell Ty that I'm looking for him, okay?

Okay.

(Sighs heavily)

(Keypad beeps)

(Birds chirp, dogs bark, cat meows)

I hope I'm not paying you for this.

Maybe you should cut back a bit on those extra hours.

And no, it's not a comment on your performance.

When you're awake, you're great.

I'd like to, Scott, but I um... I can't.

I need all the hours I can get right now.

(Cell phone rings)

Hello?

Yes it is.

Sure can.

Where?

Uh, in an hour? Well... we're kinda busy around here.

Yeah... um, yeah, we could fit you in.

Okay.

Impatient guy.

Um, horse with a possible vision problem.

The owner wants us to come take a look at him.

Oh, hey, can we stop for some coffee on the way?

Now, where did you learn how to bake like that?

YouTube!

There are videos where you can learn pretty much anything, Jack.

You don't say.

Maybe you should've watched a video on cleaning up as you go!

Yeah, yeah.

So... what do you think?

Well, you did a real nice job on these.

Are you sure?

They have to be perfect!

Lou is going to love them.

Hey, look who I found in the yard!

Lou: Surprise! Georgie: Lou! You're back!

We didn't expect you 'til this afternoon.

Well, I couldn't wait to get home, so I took an earlier flight.

Oh, and look at Katie!

Look how much you've grown!

Oh my! Mmm!

So where's Peter?

Oh, he had to go straight back to work, honey.

It was all kind of last minute.

That's a bummer!

Yeah.

When's he coming back? Soon, I hope.

Jack: Now this can't be all your luggage.

Oh no, she's got more on the porch.

Oh my gosh!

I feel like I've been away for ages!

Tell me about it.

I made them myself.

Jack: Yeah, and I can vouch for that.

Lou, what's wrong?

Nothing! No, I'm...

I'm fine.

I'm fine...
(Sobs)

♪ And at the break of day

♪ you sank into your dream

♪ you dreamer

♪ oh, oh, oh, oh...

♪ You dreamer

Really, you guys, I'm-I'm fine.

Are you sure about that?

Lou: Yes. It just hit me how much I missed everyone.

Thanks. Now stop fussing!

I'm fine.

So how was the book tour?

Yeah! What's it like being a famous author?

Ugh! Let's talk about it later.

I just wanna know what's new around here.

Oh, nothing really to report.

Hey, speak for yourself!

Wait 'til you see my new room!

Why wait? Let's go right now.

Okay!

(Cell phone chimes)
Lou: Oh, that's me.

Oh...

sh**t, Georgie, um, it's Nicole.

I should probably call her in case something's wrong.

Yeah, sure. We can go see it later.

Okay.

Here, I'll take Katie to go see the horses.

Amy: Okay.

Georgie: All right, let's go!

It is so good to be back.

You guys just... you have no idea.

(Truck door slams)

Tim: Unbelievable!

So whose horse is this again?

Hollis Landon.

Rich oil guy.

(Cell phone rings)

I gotta take this.

Hey, Tim.

Tim: You got a minute? Ty: Yup.

Tim: We had a deal. You haven't done a thing.

Tim: You've done nothing. Ty: Yeah, I know, I know.

I just um... I need some more time.

Well, time's somethin'
I don't have!

Lou's coming back and she's gonna need her truck.

Yeah, I know.

I gotta get my hands on some parts and then I'll- yeah, well, get on it!

Everything okay?

Yeah, just doing some work on Tim's truck there and he was just calling to uh... check up on me.

He didn't sound too pleased.

(Sighs)
Does he ever?

Lou: Uh-huh. Well, that's good to hear.

You know, I can come by and help out if...

Okay.

I-I will.

Thanks, Nicole. I'll see you soon.

What do you got in here?! Rocks?

It's just um... leftover book tour stuff.

(Suitcases thud resoundingly)

Nicole says everything is under control at Maggie's and the Dude Ranch.

It seems like she's doing a bang-up job.

It must be a relief not to be so hands-on twenty-four seven.

It sure is, yeah. It's a great relief.

Now... you deserve to relax for a few days.

You've been on the road for weeks.

I suppose you're right.

I mean, things have been going smoothly without you for this long, a few more days won't make a difference, right?

(Sighs softly)

Hollis: I appreciate you coming out.

I've got a lot riding on this guy.

Well, he's a fine-looking animal.

Yeah, charger here qualified for the Hudson barrel racing futurity.

Well, that's a pretty big deal.

That's in a couple of weeks, right?

Yeah, I just hope he's fit enough to compete.

Well, I don't see any abnormalities, and... the cornea is clear.

So, bottom line?

Bottom line, there's nothing wrong with your horse's eyesight.

Isn't that good news?

Charger here has been on a real losing streak.

Don't know why.

I was hoping it was just something physical and you could treat it.

Well, it sounds like you've still got time to figure it out.

I don't think so.

I'm either gonna have to sell him, or auction him off.

Why would you do that?

He's not gonna pay off now.

I know someone who might be able to help you.

No, I'd just be throwing more money away at this point.

Not necessarily.

My fiancee is capable of some pretty amazing results, and she could work with your-

Ty, you made your point.

That's okay.

The kid's just trying to help out.

(Sighs)

(Truck rumbles)

You got time for a free dinner, but you don't have time to work on my truck?

I'll get to it, okay?

You told me you needed the money.

And I do.

Well then... you've got a funny way of showing it.

The fuel t*nk's not even off the pallet yet.

What, you've been checking up on me?!

Don't try to turn this around.

I'm doing you a favour and you're not following through!

And this is the kind of guy that's gonna marry my daughter?

You're right.

They say girls marry their fathers, so I should be careful not to be too much like you!

What? What?!

What does that even mean?

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

It's not an excuse, I've just...

I had a bad day. I didn't mean it.

Fine.

(Truck rumbles)

Lou: By the end, I'd wake up and I wouldn't even know where I was.

Lou: Here you go, dad. Amy: Really? Wow!

Georgie: You went to twenty cities?

Lou: I sure did!

From Wolfville to Campbell River.

Grandpa: Whoa! That's a lot of miles!

Lou: That's a lot of bad coffee and stale donuts.

Tim: Well, here's to you, Lou.

No, you guys.

And let's hope some of that good luck rubs off on Amy 'cause she could sure use it right now.

What do you mean?

Oh, business is a little slow around here.

Now is not the time, Tim.

I'm just saying, her client list has all but dried up since the accident, so...

She could really use the business.

Is that true, Amy?

And Ty, you know, he's turning his nose up at free money.

It's good to have you back, Lou.

Thanks.

Ty: Excuse me.

I need my truck back!

I said I'd do it and I will.

(Amy sighs angrily)

Are things really that bad?

Amy: Hey! Hey!

Don't listen to him, okay?

He's just trying to get under your skin.

Yeah, well, mission accomplished.

The thing is, Amy, he's got a point.

I said I'd have his truck ready by the time Lou got back, and I haven't even ordered the parts yet!

Hey, don't worry about it, okay?

You'll get it done.

Yeah...

You're putting way too much pressure on yourself.

You're juggling all these extra hours at work and school?

I'm not doing a good job of it.

I found out today I failed two midterms.

Oh, Ty... earning some extra money is not worth that.

Amy, I'm trying to come up with my share of the down payment.

That's what I'm trying to do in all of this!

I'm the one who doesn't know where my next job is coming from!

So if there's anyone who might not be pulling their weight, it's me!

Don't say that, Amy.

Hey, we're gonna make it, okay?

It's gonna be fine.

We'll figure this out, okay?

Yeah...

I'll see ya.

I'm sorry your "Welcome Home" dinner was ruined, but at least now you know.

Listen, here's the thing: I think people assume you're still recuperating.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll pick up.

Yeah, it will if we get the word out!

People need to know that you're recovered and open for business.

What about a comeback clinic to get yourself out there to prospective clients?

Yeah, a clinic might be good.

So you're in? Great!

I'll handle the promotion and registration.

No, Lou, you've already got too much going on.

No, no, no, I don't!

Yes, you do, and now that you're a busy writer...

Look, I can deal with it all on my own.

Okay. Are you sure though? Because I'm happy to. I-

Lou, I'm sure, okay? But thanks for the great idea.

Okay.

(Approaching footsteps)

Well, I'm finally here for the grand tour!

Wow...

Isn't it the best?

You have certainly made it your own.

Well, I meant to clean it before you got here, but then you came home early.

Georgie, I'm really sorry I wasn't here to help you set up.

It's fine. Peter helped me.

Lou: I know, but it's kind of a big deal, your first room.

Hey, how about some cute little gingham curtains?

Um... could I think about it?

Sure.

Well, one thing I can do is help you get a little more organized.

Actually, um...

I kinda like it like this.

Uh, okay... but, you know, one thing about having your own room is you have to keep it tidy.

Georgie: Since when? Lou: Since always.

Georgie: Okay, I'll clean it. Lou: When?

Tomorrow, after school.

Promise!

Yeah, thanks for letting me know, Scott.

Okay.

Yeah, bye.
(Knock at the door)

Come in!

Caleb: Tim here? I saw his truck in the yard.

No, I'm just doing some work on it for him.

Don't ask, man. Don't ask.

Brewski?

Yeah!

Thanks for that, I needed this.

Bad day?

You know what, man? I'm just ticked off!

I've been busting my ass working extra hours for peanuts!

And then today, Scott and I went and checked out this great barrel-racing horse, he was a... futurity, or...

Futurity horse?

Whatever.

I mean he's gonna end up on some meat truck 'cause some rich oil guy wants to get rid of him.

Now, hold on just a sec.

What are you talking about?

I don't know, he was on about some Hudson futurity thing.

He didn't wanna waste any more money on him.

Well, it's not going on a meat truck if it's a futurity horse.

The guy's gonna sell it for big bucks.

What's wrong with the horse?

Nothing, as far as I can tell.

Huh. Well, this could be a real opportunity.

Ty: Wait. Wait a second.

What is a futurity horse, anyways?

Well, there's these foals, and they're called futurity nominated.

When they're born, their owners put money into a big pot, betting that one day their horse will be a winner.

Ty: So this is like a big deal?

Caleb: It is, it's huge. Lots of money on the line.

If a regular guy could get his hands on a horse like that, he could stand to win big.

Yeah, or he could just buy a lottery ticket.

No, no, this is way better odds.

(Sighs)

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna go check it out.

I mean, this could be a gold mine!

Lou: Just who I wanted to see!

Amy: Yeah? What's up?

I couldn't sleep last night. You know, jet lag.

So I thought instead of just laying there staring off into the dark, I could check into a few things for the clinic.

Lou, I told you-

I know, I know, I'm too busy and you wanna handle it all on your own, but I found this online system that handles the registration process for you and you won't have to do a thing!

Wow! You really are all over this.

I was thinking maybe I could streamline the process for you.

Lou, thanks, really, but- but I could set up an online presence and attract lots of traffic using search engine optimization.

See how much you need me?

It's an Internet marketing strategy.

And don't get mad, but I checked the Hudson arena schedule and there are some dates available.

Lou, this is great, it is, but I'm gonna hold the clinic at Heartland.

Why? The arena can handle more people.

Yeah, but for starters, we can't afford to rent the arena!

And I want to have a small class size, so I can give individual attention.

Okay, I hear that.

So if I agree to hold the clinic at Heartland, will you let me handle the planning details?

Lou, we've been over this!

You already have your plate full!

Lou: No, I don't. Nicole has Maggie's and the Dude Ranch under control, the girls are fine, and I need some time to just... get my creative juices flowing again.

Don't you just want some time to relax?

I am relaxed!

I just wanna help.

Let me do this.

Fine, okay.

You are not gonna regret this!

And the upside?

Now you can just focus on the content and leave the details to me.

You're gonna have clients lined up before you know it!

Ty: What're you lookin' at?

Caleb: That is charger.

It turns out he's the real deal.

I've been asking around about him.

There's a lot of people with their eye on him.

What, are you thinking about buying him?

Mm, it depends.

What if you and I were to go in on it together?

What, you're kidding, right?

No, for real!

We could split the costs and the winnings, fifty-fifty.

That sounds pretty risky, man.

Well, no risk, no reward.

You know, last year's barrel racing futurity in Vegas was worth a hundred grand.

(Blows out breath)

Well, that's big money.

Are you sure you don't want a piece of the action?

How much?

Five grand.

Each.

(Snorts)
I- no, man.

That's pretty much all the money I have right now- look, just-just- just think about it.

You've gotta spend money to make money, right?

I know, I know, I just...

I-I can't, though.

Wow. Okay.

That's too bad.

You're kinda passing up on the opportunity of a lifetime.

If you're sure...

Amy: Hey, Georgie!

Hey, Amy.

You wanna help me prep for the clinic?

Yeah, sure. I'll be right out.

Okay, perfect.

(Door bangs shut)

Looks likes somebody had a good day at school.

Yeah, I'm gonna go help Amy.

Aren't you forgetting something?

Um, don't think so.

Your room?

I'll do it later!

Georgie, you made a promise.

Well, you do what Lou says.

(Groans)

And take your sister with you.

(Aggravated growl)

Fine!

Are you... doin' okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Why?

Well... I don't know, you just seem a little touchy.

Kids need routine, grandpa, you know that.

And I'm not sure she had much of one while I was away.

Now I have to come home and be the bad guy!

We haven't exactly let her run wild around here, you know!

(Groans)

Nah!

Ugh!

What-

(hard thud)

Oh, Katie!

(Sighs heavily)

This sucks! This really sucks!

(Sniffs)

I thought Georgie was coming out.

Lou: Oh, she's up cleaning her room.

Hey, Amy, I was thinking, what if we held a three-day clinic instead?

Lou, I told you I want to keep this clinic small and contained!

I know, I know, but just hear me out.

You have to admit that that kind of thinking is a little limited.

You know, it's good to push outside your comfort zone.

You're doing what you do.

What do I do?

What you always do!

Just because I agreed you could help doesn't mean you can take over!

I'm not, Amy!

But remember that this clinic is about marketing and getting the word out there to as many people as possible.

And, you know, there are the entry fees to consider as well.

You know, this is exactly why I didn't want your help in the first place.

Lou: What?!

Because this clinic is about helping people and horses, Lou, not numbers!

Where are you going?

Dinner's almost ready!

Amy: I just had to get out of there.

She's driving me crazy, saying this clinic is all about marketing!

(Cell phone rings)

(Sighs)

Speaking of driving a person crazy.

Oh...

That's it!

What?

Ty: I'm gonna order these parts right now, get it done, and get your dad off my back.

Yeah, he can be a pain, huh?

Look, Amy, I know Lou can be frustrating sometimes.

It sounds to me like she's just overly invested in this whole clinic thing.

Yeah, she is.

Ty: But in the long run, it'll be worth it.

Everything Lou organizes turns out to be a success.

Yeah, you're right.

Ty: Do you know if she's got the website up yet?

I think so, but I haven't looked at it.

Here we go...

Wow! This looks pretty good!

Oh no.

Amy: So I finally checked out the website.

You totally ignored all my input!

Amy, you asked me to handle the details, so that's what I did.

No, Lou, you begged me to let you help!

Look, I hate to say this, but your career is in trouble.

I'm the one with the business background and I'm just trying to help!

Lou, this is not about you!

This is my reputation on the line, and I said no to a three-day clinic and no to big classes!

And that's exactly what you've advertised!

Well, do you know what?! You got your wish!

Amy: Only three people signed up?

(Sighs heavily)

Wow.

Amy! I-I'm sorry!

Do you want me to cancel?

And what, punish the people who did sign up?

Well, it's only three people, it hardly seems worth it.

Yeah, maybe not from a marketing perspective!

But that's never what this was about for me, Lou!

So I'm gonna be a professional and I'm gonna put on the best clinic that I can!

What happened? You didn't clean up.

Well, I started to, but then I had to do some homework and Katie made some of this mess.

Georgie, Katie is three.

It's your room, so it's your responsibility.

Well, if it's my room, then I wanna keep it like this!

Lou: Well then, maybe you should start spending all of your free time up here.

Are you grounding me to my room?!

Lou: No, no, I wouldn't say that.

But you should take some time to think about your actions.

Georgie: My actions?!

You're the one who's been acting all weird since you got home!

Jack didn't care if my room was messy!

Lou: Well, I'm not grandpa.

Georgie: That's for sure.

(Door slams)

♪

(Sighs heavily)

Amy: Welcome, everyone.

Look, I know we're a very small group, but I like to work that way, 'cause then I can give all of you one-on-one attention.

How are you?

Hi. Uh, good.

I'm Martha and... this is Rocky Road.

And what do you hope to accomplish?

Martha: Well, Rocky's thrown me a few times.

But the last time, my foot got caught in the stirrup and... he dragged me.

I've worn this ever since.

I bet that was pretty scary, huh?

Terrifying.

I wanna make sure it doesn't happen again.

I don't wanna give up on him, that's why I'm here.

But uh... if it doesn't change, I'm gonna have to sell him.

We'll see what we can do.

Amy: You gain a horse's trust with clear and honest communication.

(Horse snorts, Amy laughs)

You see, every gesture you make means something to him.

(Horse grunts)

Whoa.

Whoa.

Good boy.

Good boy.

Whoa...

♪

All right, Martha, you wanna give it a try?

Sure.

It's okay. Just stay relaxed, all right?

You know that horses can sense your emotions.

So you stay calm and so will he.

Okay.

Amy: All right, when you're ready, I want you to go to his hip and send him out.

Yeah, and don't be afraid to get after him!

Okay, you can be a little aggressive.

(Martha clucks her tongue)

Amy: Look at you guys!

That's good. It looks great.

Martha: Whoa! Rocky: (Squeals and whinnies)

Martha: Oh!

Amy: Are you okay?

Sorry, I'm just...

I don't know...

I can't.

Okay, we'll take a quick break. Do you mind watching him?

Thanks.

Martha!

Lou: Here you go.

Jack: Why aren't you outside?

Well, I'm kind of grounded to my room for not cleaning up.

Don't look at me! Georgie made a promise.

But I didn't think it was that big of a deal!

I mean, was your room always clean?

(Jack chuckles)

That is not the point, okay?

The point is, not following through on a promise is a very big deal.

I was clear about the consequences-

Lou, you're starting to sound a bit like your blog, you know that?

Lou: Well, that's just great!

Because apparently my blog is nothing but sentimental rambling that should never have been turned into a book!

What? Why do you say that?

I have to get these out to the clients.

She's acting kinda weird.

Well, it's not always easy when people have been apart for awhile.

It's the same with me and Lisa.

When she comes back to visit after being in France for a bit, well, we have to figure out how to be around each other again.

So, what do you do?

Well, I say yes more than usual.

Oh, never mind.

The thing is, Georgie, it takes time, but you both have to make an effort.

The accident, um... it wasn't Rocky's fault.

I was wearing the wrong boots.

But that doesn't change how I feel.

I don't know why I'm... so terrified of him.

Amy: I know what you're going through.

It's gonna be okay.

Martha: How can you be so sure?

Amy: Because not that long ago I was knocked unconscious by a frightened horse, and when I came to...

I couldn't see.

It was the most terrifying thing I have ever had to face, and I blamed the horse.

Even after I could see, I pretended I was fine, but I couldn't face riding.

I really thought my work with horses was over.

I really only got over it... when I was forced to ride again.

(Clattering noise)

But the good news is, when I did, that fear just fell away.

And now you're back teaching clinics.

So... if I can do it, so can you.

Come on, what do you say?

You wanna give it another try?

(Laughs)

(Truck rumbles)

Ty: Look, Tim, I'm late for work.

I should have your truck done by tomorrow afternoon.

My-my what?

Oh!

Yeah, I forgot I even owned a truck.

Gimme my keys.

What's going on?

Tim: Lou's gonna need her truck back by this afternoon.

Try not to screw that up, too.

What are you talking about?!

Tim: I'm tired of waiting for you to get your act together.

I'm gonna take it to my guy.

Are you kidding me?!

No, I'm not kidding you, Ty!

We had a deal and you let me down.

Ty: Tim, I just got all the parts!

I'm taking time off work this afternoon to get it done!

Yeah, sure you are.

(Engine revs)

Ty: Thanks!

(Sighs)

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

All right, when you're ready, you can start lunging him.

Okay.

Come on, Rocky.

That's it!

Keep him moving.

Martha: Come on... (Clucks tongue)

Whoa!
(Gasps fearfully)

Whoa...

Are you okay?

I-I-I don't-
I don't think I'm ready.

Hey, you're making great progress, okay?

He was watching you very closely, and when you stumbled he turned in to face you like he should.

Why don't you try it again?

Okay.

Come on!

(Martha clucks her tongue)

Amy: There you go!

That looks great!

There! There, you see that?

You see his ear turning in to you?

He's licking his lips, that's good.

He's ready to join up.

Come on!

(Sighs heavily)

(Participants applaud)

Hey.

There we go, huh?

Amy: Now, when you're ready...

I want you to get on him.

We're all standing right here and you're fine.

Just stay calm.

You can do this, Martha.

(Laughs)

Good boy. Come on.

There.

(Laughs)

(Groans)

(Thuds)

(Sighs heavily)

Amy: Hey. Lou: Hey.

Everybody just left.

I knew I shouldn't have gone on that book tour.

You weren't ready and I- no, Lou, I didn't want you to stay because of me.

I could've helped you!

This is something that I needed to do on my own.

And you did.

And look what you were able to do for those people today.

It felt pretty good.

But it didn't fix anything.

No clients means no career.

This is my fault, Amy.

I used this clinic to distract myself from my own failures.

What failures, Lou?

The book tour. It was... a huge flop!

My books didn't sell, and I was so awful that Peter couldn't stand it anymore, and he had to run back to work!

Oh, Lou...

And then I get home and discover that Maggie's and the Dude Ranch ran smoothly while I was gone, and even Georgie seemed happier while I was away.

No, that's not true.

Georgie missed you like crazy. We all did!

Lou, I'm really sorry that things didn't go well.

And I'm sorry to be dumping this on you when you're the one who needs my support.

I brought your truck back.

Thanks.

How was the clinic?

Lou did a really great job.

Not true.

I made a mess of it.
(Laughs wryly)

Ty: That bad?

Well, the clinic was really rewarding, but three people showed up.

Amy...

Hey, it's gonna be okay.

Ty, what if it doesn't?

We might have to change our plans.

I don't know what's next for me and you're k*lling yourself with these crazy hours.

I just don't know if the ranch is in the cards for us right now.

No, Amy, this is something that you-

Ty, we have to be realistic!

We've got years to save for a down payment, but right now, you need to focus on school.

Everything else can wait.

Hey, I'll figure it out.
(Sighs)

Sometimes... when people are upset, they try and control things.

And by "people," you mean you, right?

I admit, it's not one of my best traits.

But don't tell anyone I said that.

I was watching the clinic from my window and it looked kind of lame.

Why weren't there more people?

You're looking at the reason why.

I got so caught up in the big picture, I forgot to get the word out to prospective clients.

Georgie: That's weird.

You're usually really good at organizing stuff.

Sorry the clinic and your book tour kinda sucked.

Lou: Language!

But you're right, it did kinda suck.

And, you know, if I was you, you'd tell me not to give up.

When did you get to be so grown up, huh?

(Laughs)

By the way, you did a great job on your room.

(Drawer slams)

(Struggles with drawer)

Okay!

If you're okay with that, so am I.

(Drawer slams)

At least I'll try to be.

All right, you better crawl in.

Oh, and uh...

I love your room.

Caleb: So what's Amy gonna do?

I don't know. She's pretty down.

Caleb: Yeah, being worried about work and money sucks.

Trust me, I've been there.

(Sighs heavily)

I probably shouldn't bring this up right now, but... you know, if we bought that horse, we'd stand a chance at a five figure payday.

Ty: It's not a good time, man.

Waitress: That's $8.95.

Oh no! No, no. That's on the house.

Waitress: Okay.

Tim: Yeah, Lou told me about the clinic.

I figure you and Amy are gonna need every cent you can get your hands on.

What?

Oh, come on, you're not still upset about the truck, are you?

Ty: Keep the change. Waitress: Thanks, Ty.

Ty: Thanks.

Tim: I'm gonna take that as a yes.

It was nothing personal, Ty! It was a business transaction!

(Groans)

He'll get over it.

It might take him a little while, though.

I mean, he had to give up a shift at the clinic and then you stuck him with returning the parts, which he now has to eat the shipping fees for.

(Keys clack)

(Keys clack steadily)

(Popcorn crunches)

(Grunts)

(Panting)

(Thuds loudly)

(Sighs heavily, keypad beeps)

Caleb, it's Ty.

I need to talk to you, man. Gimme a call back.

(Cell phone rings)

Hello?

Um...

I'm sorry, my reaction to what?

(Laughs)

I-I don't know what post.

Um, I'm gonna have to call you back, okay?

Okay, thanks.

Georgie, can I borrow that?

Yeah, sure.

Grandpa: What was that all about?

Some local reporter wants to do a story on me.

Georgie: Cool!

He said he wants my reaction to a post about me on Lou's blog.

He said it's got lots of buzz on Twitter.

Wow!

Did you guys know she was doing this?

No, but look at all the hits it's getting!

"My sister, Amy Fleming, has a special connection with horses.

And she has used her natural ability to help more people and horses than I can count.

This week, she held a horse clinic at Heartland.

Problem is, only three people showed up."

"Now not that long ago, it seemed like she might never hold a horse clinic again.

She had an accident that left her blind for a time.

Her triumph over that adversity is a testament to the courage she displayed as she faced her uncertain future..."

You guys are reading my blog?

Yeah!

Your post on Amy's got tons of hits!

It's gone viral!

Viral? Really?

Lou, you didn't need to do this.

Yes, I did, actually, and it was the easiest thing I've ever written because every word of it is true.

(Cell phone chimes)

Huh!

A new client wants to drop by and meet me this afternoon.

Jack: Well, that is great news!

Yeah. He saw your post, Lou, and he wants to bring his horse by.

That's even better news!

Wow!

I guess I still got it.
(Laughs)

Amy: Huh.

Lou: What is it?

I just got a text from another client who wants to bring her horse over.

Jack: Well, it seems like things are gettin' back on track for you.

Yeah. Lou, that is a lot of books.

I know, it's crazy, but I just couldn't stand the thought of them laying in a bargain bin.

Well, why don't you just sell them yourself?

Yeah, that's a good idea.

I don't know...

Lots of people read your post on Amy.

That just proves that they wanna hear her story.

Amy: No, Lou, it proves that people wanna hear what you have to say!

Maybe.

I guess I don't have anything to lose.

Well, I should go out.

There's another client's horse that I have to take a look at.

What's his story?

Amy: It got spooked by a cougar.

He's pretty skittish now, so grandpa and I, we're going to take him out in the woods and see how he does.

You ready?

Yup.

Lou: Georgie, there's something I need you to do.

I need you... to saddle up and go on that ride with Amy and grandpa.

Thank you!

Lou: Have fun. Georgie: Okay!

You... come here!

Let's read mommy's book. Okay...

Tim: Ty?

Hey.

Wow.

(Door slams)

This looks like the "before" on one of those home makeover shows.

(Chuckles)

What do you want, Tim?

Well, I saw the parts out there. Still got 'em.

Yeah. So?

So, I was just... wondering...

I know I was a little hard on you the other day, and then...

Well, truth is, my guy can't get the parts, so...

Oh. So that's what this is about.

Now you need my help.

Yeah.

But I know you've been working hard lately.

Huh!

I have worked hard for everything I've ever got, Tim.

Yeah.

So will you do the work?

Yeah, I'll do it.

Great! When?

(Chuckles wryly)

The price is gonna double, you know that.

(Laughs)

Funny.

(Scoffs)

Amy: Whoa.

Good boy.

Yeah.

(Cell phone rings)

Ahmed, hey.

Yeah.

I'm really good, actually.

Yeah, tomorrow at Hillhurst?

Sure.

Yeah, I'll be there. I can't wait.

Okay, bye.

You okay?

Yeah. I'm great!

So you're doing the work.

Yeah.

Tim changed his mind.

Let's have a toast.

(Laughs incredulously)
What's the occasion?

I'm in.

Let's buy charger.

Look, you won't regret this!

I better not.

This is just crazy!

I can't believe we're gonna own a futurity contender.

Here's to a big payday.

I'll drink to that.
