05x05 - Never Let Go

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Heartland":

I mean, it's not just a break.

We've been fighting an awful lot lately.

Well, you guys always have.

But like you said, you start fresh in the morning, right?

That whole reset button thing?

Not really working anymore.

(Baby cries, Jack sings)

Shhh! She needs some bouncing.

She needs the constant movement.

(Baby cries, Jack sings)

You've gotta be kidding.

(Sighs)

No crying baby, just peace and quiet.

(Birds twitter, insects buzz)

(Caleb sighs)

(Grass rustles underfoot)

(Hoofbeats thud)

(Horse grunts and snorts)

(Sighs)

Caleb: (In the shower) ♪ Nobody knows... ♪

(knocking)
Caleb! Some of us have to work!

Is he still in there?

Yeah. If he uses all of the hot water, I'm gonna k*ll him.

Back of the line, Jack.

Caleb has been in there for 30 minutes!

(Knocking)

Is something wrong with the shower at your house?

Are you kidding?

If I'm not out of my house by sunrise, my grandma makes me do yoga.

Until she's safely back on the bus to B.C., I'm showering here.

Okay, I really don't have time for this!

(Knocking)

(Frustrated groan)

Peter: Mornin'!

I wasn't expecting a crowd.

Back of the line.

Good morning.

Hey, good morning.

So, um, I was thinking since Soraya's back in town and Caleb could use some cheering up, what do you say we all go out tomorrow night?

'Kay. What were you thinkin'?

Well, um...

I know this sounds crazy, but there's this luau night thing at K.O.'s.

Luau night...

Like Hawaiian shirts and hula dancing?

Ty: Yeah.

Caleb's gonna hate that.

I know.

But, see, it'll be good for him to get his mind off that whole Ashley situation, you know?

I guess it could be fun.

And it's not like we have to dress up or anything, right? So...

Oh no, you're not getting out of it that easy.

If we're going to luau night, then we're dressing up.

Amy, we don't have-

Amy: This is your idea.

Well, maybe I just changed my mind, then.

(Chuckles)
No, too late.

Okay, well, I'm thinking matching couples costumes.

Ty: What?! Amy: Bye.

Ty: Amy, wai- (Amy hangs up)

(Groans)

Hey, Sandra, I am sorry I'm late.

It's been kind of a crazy morning.

It's okay. But now I'm late, and you'd be surprised how vicious a room full of nine-year-old's in pink tutu's can be.

I teach ballet at the Hudson dance school.

I took a dance class there when I was a kid, but I guess horses sort of won out.

Who's this guy?

Oh, Chaplin.

I've had him since I was a teenager.

He's a great horse.

I just don't have the time to take care of him anymore.

So you want me to get him in shape, re-home him?

Yeah. I've been trying to sell him for awhile, but Chaplin's not great with riders he isn't used to.

Well, he looks like a pretty smart guy.

Sandra: He is.

He'll make somebody a really great pleasure horse.

(Sadly)
Won't you, boy?

Um...

So thanks for your help. I have to go.

Oh, wait.

I don't know anything about Chaplin.

Did you compete on him, or...?

Just find him a good home, okay?

'Kay.

(Truck door slams)

Peter: You done with that sports section there, Jack?

It's all yours.

Are you sure?

Oh, is that today's paper?

Yeah. You looking for business?

No. Travel.

I just want to make sure Lisa put in that ad for the dude ranch on time.

Oh, right.

Caleb: Is that today's paper?

That's right; The paper I paid the subscription for.

The same one I rode out to the mailbox to pick up this morning.

Hit me up with the comics.

(Grumbling) You know what? Just take the whole thing.

Thanks.

Mallory: Hey, Jack, before you leave, there's something I need to talk to you about.

I didn't want to say anything, but a certain co-worker of mine isn't pulling his weight around here.

The truth is, Caleb's been moping around ever since he got back.

Now I have to do all the heavy-lifting.

Where are we going?

I'm looking for the perfect spot.

For what?

A man needs a quiet place to read a newspaper...

And when I was a kid, we had four rooms and a path.

A path to where?

Jack: The outhouse.

In case you haven't noticed, there are six people living on this ranch and only one bathroom.

I tore one down a few years ago, but I'm aimin' to rebuild.

An outhouse? Gross.

(hoofbeats thud, Chaplin grunts)

And whoa...

Good boy.

Let's go this way.

Chaplin.

(Snorting and grunting)

No. Come on, this way.

All right.

(Hoofbeats thud)

And whoa...

All right, turn this way.

Chaplin.

No, Chaplin!

Come on, I just want you to go the other way.

Hey.

One of these days, a horse is gonna talk back to you.

Soraya!

How was your trip?

Well, after spending a few weeks in London, I have a new-found appreciation for fresh air, and driving on the right-hand side of the road.

I totally can't wait to hear about your trip.

I should probably wait though till I put him back out in the paddock first.

Yeah, no, he's a pretty good looking horse.

He's quite the character.

Brought him in the ring, he's all excited to start loping around, but he only goes counter-clockwise.

As soon as I went to turn him, he didn't wanna go.

It's just the weirdest thing.

What'd his owner say?

Nothing; That's the problem.

(Snorts)

Get that thing out of my face.

I'm documenting your slow descent into madness.

I'm not going mad, I'm solving a problem.

Now help me unload this lumber.

So Jack...

Or don't.

Why did you pick this particular spot for your make-work project?

Well, it's not too far from the house and it's downhill for a nice, easy walk.

I don't know much about outhouses, but when it comes to location, I'm pretty sure downhill isn't nearly as important as downwind.

What's going on here?

Jack has bought a one-way ticket on the cuckoo train to stinksville.

(Rope whooshes)

Hey, does Jack know you're out here?

Well, Mallory said something about Jack digging a hole.

The last time him and I decided to do that, he nearly buried me in it, so...

I'm out here laying low today.

That's a good idea.

So, uh, tomorrow night, you, me, Amy and Soraya-- luau night at K.O.'s.

What do you say?

Uh, well...

I don't know, man.

Normally, watching drunk girls in grass skirts would be a no-brainer, but... not really in the mood.

Well, that's why you need to come with us.

And it'll be good for you.

You know, get your mind off...

Things.

You mean, me and Ashley's train wreck of a marriage.

I wouldn't say train wreck, man.

I would.

You know, she threw her ring at me.

I thought only people on TV did stuff that.

Well, maybe she just lost her temper, man, you know?

She'll cool down.

That's why you guys are on a break for, right?

Nah! Let's just call a spade a spade.

Ashley and I are separated.

Things aren't looking good.

You know what?

This luau night thing... count me in.

All right.

Well, I won't let you down, man, it'll be good.

Ukuleles, mahi mahi, mai tais, eh?

There's a reason why everyone's happy in Hawaii.

Yeah, well, I mean, I sure do like Tequila.

That's the wrong country, but who cares.

(Laughing)

Sandra: Okay, sparkle princesses, we'll see you all next week.

And don't forget to put your fairy wings at the front desk on your way out, okay?

Okay, come on.

Good, good, good.
(Laughs)

Amy.

Hey, I was just in town.

I was wondering if you wanted to grab a quick coffee?

I'm sorry, I have another class.

Well, I just-

I wanted to ask you a couple questions about Chaplin 'cause we didn't really get a chance this morning.

My classes are pretty much back-to-back.

Well, I just wanted to know what you did with him?

You know, barrel racing? Another event?

Um, everyone, let's get warmed up.

Look, he's a good horse.

All you have to do is get him used to new riders.

It would just...

It would really make my job a lot easier if I knew the type of relationship that you had with him.

You know, for example, why did you train him to just go in a counter-clockwise pattern?

I've only ever seen that with trick-riding horses.

Um, everyone, let's take our places at the barre.

I'd like to see some nice and controlled plies and releves.

Impress me.

Look, I can't talk about this right now.

I'm sorry.

Very good, girls.

(Crickets chirp, owl hoots)

Lou: It's a message.

What is?

The outhouse.

Grandpa thinks the house is too crowded.

Yeah, well, maybe it's time we started thinking about getting our own place.

Yeah, right.

Like we can afford that.

Actually, I um...

I already talked to my parents about getting a loan.

You what?

Yeah.

I know it's not ideal, but it's the only way we're gonna come up with a decent down payment.

You're serious. You wanna buy a house?

Absolutely.

I mean, it's either that, or we get used to using the outhouse when it's minus 40 out.

Okay... okay.

All right.

What time should we get up at?

Hey, you know what?

Why don't we set that later.

Okay.

Yeah.

(Catherine cries)

(Frustrated sigh)
It's okay.

It's my turn, I'll go.

Right. Just go in, make an appearance, and then leave.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know the drill.

(Catherine wails)

Oh, thank God you're back.

The food has just not been the same since you left.

You do realize it's the same cook in the kitchen.

I just deliver the plates, right?

Yeah, but when it comes to that smile of yours, it's like ten times better.

Yeah! See?

That's the one I'm talking about.

I'm just glad Europe didn't change you the way it changes some people.

How's Ashley, by the way?

Amy didn't tell you?

Tell me what?

Oh, man...

Ashley and I decided to call it quits.

We've separated.

Oh... um...

Caleb, I-I'm so sorry.

I mean, Amy told me you guys were having trouble.

I didn't know.

It's okay. Really, it is.

Is she still in B.C.?

Yeah, Ashley's still there.

Loves school.

Especially since I'm not cramping her style now.

Well, um...

If you were one of my girlfriends, I'd make you a milkshake, but how about an extra side of bacon instead?

You do know the way to a man's heart.

'Course, I wouldn't say no to a milkshake either.

Coming right up.

(Blender whirs)

Ty: I thought you were supposed to be getting Chaplin used to new riders.

Amy: Well, I am. But I can't do that unless I know what kind of horse he is.

Are you sure he's a trick-riding horse?

Yesterday, I was riding him out in the round pen and he would only go counter-clockwise, and that's something that trick-riding horses are trained to do.

And then, I go and talk to Sandra, and when I mentioned it she just had this weird reaction.

And you know, when you look at him, he is nice and solid, and he's got a well-built neck.

Ty: Well, I guess, for any trick rider it'd be hard to balance on a long, wobbly one.

(Both chuckle)

And coupled with a nice, high set of withers...

Makes him the perfect trick-riding horse.

Well, there's only one way to find out.

All right, it's your job to call 911 if this goes horribly wrong.

Ty: So there's no way I can talk you out of this then?

Amy: Uh, what do you think?

(Amy chuckles)

(Hoofbeats thud)

♪

whoa!

That was incredible!

Ha! Hey, not bad!

Wow! He knew exactly what to do when I was going in and out of that trick.

Chaplin's the real deal.

Someone must have spent a lot of time training him.

Yeah.

But what I don't get is why Sandra would keep that from me.

Lou: It's perfect.

It's only a few miles away from here, it's a three-bedroom, and it's exactly in our price range.

(Chuckles) Yes, it is perfect, honey.

Which probably means it's too good to be true.

I thought you might say that, so I set up an appointment with our real estate agent in fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes?

We won't be able to pack a diaper bag in that time.

I got your text.

Last minute babysitting does cost extra.

Lou: Mallory, you are a lifesaver.

Honey, let's go.

Thanks.

Five, four, three, two...

Oh! I almost forgot.

Just make sure you use the bottles in the cupboard, not the ones in the dish rack.

And when she wakes up, set the humidifier to 35.

Oh, but if she doesn't wake up, just leave it at 42 for like an hour and then lower it to 40, okay?

Peter: She's got it. Thanks.

You know, I can't believe there wouldn't be anything on Sandra Martin?

If she was a trick rider, you'd think there'd be an article or something.

Hey, guys, heading into town.

You need anything?

No thanks, Caleb.

Oh, actually, did you ever come across a trick rider by the name of Sandra Martin?

Doesn't ring a bell, but I've met a lot of trick riders.

Well, she would be about my height, kind of reddish, curly hair.

(Chuckles)
I know a lot of red-heads, too.

You know, there were these two trick riders you used to see a lot.

One of them had long, curly, red hair...

Summerset sisters.

Summerset.

Could be a stage name or something.

Bingo.

Yeah. Yeah, that's her right there.

Oh yeah! You know, they were a pretty good act, but I haven't seen them on the circuit in long time.

They just sort of disappeared.

Well, there is contact information here for her manager, Nancy Summerset.

Yeah, I'm seeing if it's working right now.

Caleb: Best of luck, guys.

See you.

See you, man.

'Kay, it's ringing.

Hi. Mrs. Summerset?

I'm not surprised Sandra didn't tell you about her trick-riding.

That was a different life.

How do you mean?

Sandra and her sister, Diana, were the best act on the circuit.

They were always so close.

Not just as sisters, but as riding partners.

Then uh...

Three years ago in November, Diana was driving to Saskatoon to visit her boyfriend and she lost control of the truck.

She was only 22.

I'm so sorry.

After Diana passed away, Sandra never really rode again.

For a while there, she didn't do much of anything.

I don't blame her.

And then two years ago, Sandra started to get her life together.

She got a job teaching at the dance studio, she met a great guy.

They were married last year.

For the first time in a long while, things have been sort of... happy.

So why do you think that Sandra waited until now to sell Chaplin?

I wouldn't know.

There are two things Sandra refuses to talk about: Her sister and riding.

I can't believe we just put in an offer.

Peter: Honey, we would have been crazy not to.

I mean, not only is it move-in ready, but it's exactly what we want.

I don't know what I loved more-- the checkerboard tiles in the kitchen or the exposed wood in the dining room.

I know! And that tree house in the backyard?!

I know! Katie's gonna have so much fun playing in that!

Katie?

I mean, I'm gonna have fun playing in that.

I've already picked out the paint colours: Dark gray for the guest room, a warm yellow for the kitchen, a light green for the a nursery--

Okay, okay. But...

We cannot get our hopes up too high here, okay?

I mean, we just-- we have an offer in.

We have no idea what's gonna happen.

I know, but I really want this house.

So do I.

So did you guys buy a house or what?

Maybe, but we are most definitely not getting our hopes up.

(Phone rings)
That's right.

Oh wow! It's the real estate agent.

Al... already?

Yeah. Agh!

Hi, Barbara. Um, good, good.

A little nervous, actually.

I didn't expect you to get back to me this soon.

Um...

Right. Okay. No, I understand. Yeah.

Okay. Thanks for calling. Bye.

So they didn't accept the offer.

And not only that, but our offer was so low that they didn't even bother to counter.

What does that mean?

It means we didn't get the house.

Hey, at least we didn't get our hopes up, eh?

(Scoffs)

Which one of these say, "I'm single and ready to party?"

Um... I don't know. They both kinda say, "I'm retired and live in Palm Springs."

Well, it's not really what I was going for.

Don't worry, I'll be off in a few minutes.

We will go back to the thrift store and pick out something perfect for tonight.

You'd do that for me?

Yeah. Sure. It'll-it'll be fun.

Think of me as your personal stylist.

Um, just give me ten, okay?

I'll wait right here.

(Birds chirp, leaves rustle)

Peter: Jack?
Jack: (Muffled) Peter!

Peter: Jack? Jack: Peter!

Unnggh! How the heck are ya?

I'm fine, thanks. Good.

So what do you think?

Yeah, wow...

You got yourself a great big hole there.

Geez, you know, Jack, you could always put a bathroom in the barn or another one in the house, you know.

What am I, made out of money?

Besides, outhouses are Western tradition.

Well, look, I just uh...

I hope me and Lou aren't the reason you're doing all this.

Oh, don't be silly.

It's something I should've done a long time ago.

Right.

Well, hypothetically speaking then, um, if you were feeling that it was getting a bit too crowded in the house, I just wanted to let you know that it is only temporary.

You know, I do plan on making a home for my family, eventually.

Well, if that's the case, hypothetically, I want you to know that, temporary or not, you are welcome here no matter how crowded the house might be.

All right.

Well, good. Thank you, Jack. Thanks.

Listen, why don't we get going here.

You want me to give you a hand?

Well, you wanna build or you wanna dig?

Uh...
(Sighs)

(Laughing)

Measure twice, cut once.

You got it.

(Scrubbing sound)

What's this?

Sparkling apple juice, dark chocolate roasted cashews...

It's basically romance in a basket.

Okay, and who's it for?

It's a gift from me to you and Peter.

And I'm also offering my babysitting services for the entire night - for my usual fee.

And I looked into the bookings at the dude ranch and cabin "C" is vacant.

So are "A" and "B", so you'll have total privacy.

And before you think of a million reasons why this is a bad idea, just remember you're minutes away from the baby in case anything bad would happen - which it won't, because I'm the best babysitter in the history of babysitters.

So what's in it for you?

Can't I do something nice for my favourite couple?

Something to take their mind off losing their dream home and the prospect of living with Jack for the foreseeable future?

You know what?

I'm not gonna over-think this.

It's a nice offer, you know?

And Peter and I could use a night alone.

I'm gonna go start packing.

Thank you.

Five, four, three, two...

Oh, before I forget, I'm gonna leave out two sleepers for the baby, just in case it gets cold.

And I'd prefer if you feed her using the leather bib so you can just wipe it off.

'Cause that way I have way less laundry.

And one more thing, give her al least 10 minutes of tummy time.

There's no way my baby's gonna end up with a flat head.

Did I mention my rates double after midnight?

Right.

Amy: Sandra!

You had no right to talk to my mom.

What? I was just trying to help Chaplin.

Prying into my personal life has nothing to do with selling a horse.

Amy: 'Kay, well maybe if you'd told me the truth in the first place, I wouldn't have had to go through your mom.

Sandra, she was just trying to find the right kind of owner for him.

That's exactly why I didn't tell you.

There's no way you're selling Chaplin to another trick rider.

That makes the most sense.

Why not?

You're not selling him to anyone.

I'm taking him home.

Sandra, just hold on a second okay?

Hold on.

Maybe Amy shouldn't have talked to your mom.

Maybe?

You're right. But if she did cross the line, it's because she thought she was doing what's best for Chaplin.

I'm really sorry.

Look, please don't go. Can we just talk about this?

There's nothing to talk about.

Chaplin and I retired from trick-riding a long time ago.

The last thing I need is you dredging up the past.

Okay, wait. Maybe you quit trick-riding, Amy.

But Chaplin didn't.

Okay, he's a trick-riding horse; That's what he's trained to do.

And maybe the reason he's not good with new riders is because he doesn't want to just be ridden.

He wants to perform like he used to.

Chaplin is my horse, and I get to decide what happens to him.

(Truck engine starts)

This was a great idea.

Yeah, it was.

And you know, honey, don't worry about the house, okay?

We just have to be patient and the right one will come along.

I know, but being patient and not worrying aren't exactly my strong suits.

Well, you've been pretty good about spending the night away from the baby.

It's been like 20 minutes and you haven't called to check on her once.

Yeah, well, that's kinda because I made Mallory promise to text me every 10 minutes with updates.

See?

Right.

"7:30 pm: The baby is sleeping."

"7:40 pm: Still sleeping."

"Stop worrying, Lou.

I rock this babysitting thing."

Unreal.

(Low hum of chatter, pool balls clack)

Aloha!

(Everyone stops talking)

Amy: Are you sure we're in the right place?

Hey, what the hell happened to luau night?

Luau night?

Where'd you get that idea?

It was on your website.

I haven't updated that site since 1998.

But a luau... that's not a bad idea.

All right, guys, minor glitch.

That doesn't mean we still can't have fun, right?

Mm-hm.

Absolutely.

Caleb: I'm just glad I didn't go with the sarong.

(Fire crackles)

Jack: Don't your thumbs ever get tired?

Mallory: I promised to text Lou updates on the baby, so it's strictly work-related.

Sounds like you're going the extra mile.

(Sighs) Well, if I don't mess up tonight, I'll cement my status as Lou's go-to babysitter.

The plan is to have enough money in my bank account so I can buy a super sweet car for when I turn sixteen.

I see.

Offering to babysit overnight, that's a little above and beyond, don't you think?

What is your real angle here?

The truth is, my grandma is still at my place.

I love her, but she won't stop talking and she's always minding everyone else's business and she won't go home.

You have no idea what it's like, Jack.

Oh! You'd be surprised...

(Under his breath)
at how I relate to that.

Soraya: So that's what happened with Chase in a nutshell.

I'm filing him under "hottie but a naughty" and moving right along.

Well, he couldn't have been all bad if you were with him.

But, yeah, tell you the truth, Chase was not good enough for you.

Well, to being single.

To being single... Sorta.

You know, I had a lot of fun hanging out with you today.

Me too.

You being gone, it just...

It reminded me how much I missed you when I was gone, and makes me wonder why I ever left.

Uh, I missed you too.

There are very few girls that I feel like I can be myself around.

Even with Ashley, it was like I'd get to thinking...

Sit up straight, or tuck in my shirt.

With you, it's just different.

Well, of course it's different.

We're... we're pals.

You know, really good friends.

Yeah, that's (Clears throat)
totally what I meant.

Yeah.

I'm gonna get another drink, did you want one?

No, I'm good, thanks.

Okay.

Ty: Hey. Caleb: Hey.

Is everything okay?

I think I just rejected Caleb.

Hey, man.

Tonight needs a reboot.

What do you say we ditch out of here, head over Maggie's.

All I wanted to do was have some fun.

But, of course, I had to open my big, fat mouth and ruin everything with Soraya.

Smooth.

She's cool with it, man.

Sure.

No, seriously, it's fine.

Let's just head over to Maggie's.

It'll be like this luau night never happened.

What do you say?

All right. Um... I'll meet you there, though.

I just need a few minutes to be alone.

Are you sure?

Yes. I'm sure.

I'll meet you there.

All right.

Hey.

Hey.

Did you just jump ship, or do you always come to the bar in a swimsuit?

If this were 1998, it would make a lot of sense.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

(Laughs)

I do wanna buy you a drink though.

Hi. Can I get another iced tea, and get this guy something with an umbrella in it.

Amy and Soraya: (Laughing)

Ty: Well, luau night was a bust.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Yeah, we were only 13 years too late.

All right, very funny.

From now on, why don't you leave the party planning to me and Amy.

Ty: Gladly.

Are you coming?

No. You guys go ahead, okay?

I'm just gonna go talk to Sandra.

I don't like how we left things off.

I don't know, Amy.

Maybe you should just give it some time.

She seemed pretty upset.

I know. I just gotta try though.

I'll see you in a bit.

♪

Amy, what're you doing here?

I was just out at a party.

And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.

That was beautiful.

I'm not gonna change my mind about Chaplin, if that's why you're here.

Can you just hear me out?

Look, my mom passed away a few years ago...

And I just wanted to disappear.

You know, the hardest part, for me, was to keep going, to keep doing what I was good at even though she wasn't there.

Sandra, you're an amazing dancer, bubut I can bet you're an even more incredible trick rider.

I can't...

I can't do it without her.

Yeah, you can.

You should go.

What about Chaplin?

He's so good at being a trick-riding horse.

Don't take that away from him.

Please... just leave.

(horse whinnies)

Caleb: This is the barn.

And this is a horse.

Kelly: Well, thank you for clearing that up.

(Laughing)
He's a seahorse!

Wow! You should take that act on the road.

So my room is up in the loft.

You sleep in the loft?

Yup.

That would be so cool, if we were twelve.

Hey, how old are you anyway?

Old enough to know I should not be wasting my time with a guy like you.

Ooh! Oof!

(Caleb burst out laughing)

Caleb?!

Oh, Jack?

Kelly: Shhhh!

What's going on in here?

Jack! Come here, buddy.

I want you to meet a real good friend of mine.

Uh, this is uh... What's your name again?

This isn't what it looks like.

Cabana boy here, he got drunk.

I just wanted to make sure he got home okay.

Well, I figured that.

(Vomits)

Surf's up.

This is official the last time

I talk to a broken-hearted cowboy in a bar.

Good luck getting him upstairs.

I think I'll leave him right there.

Nothing like waking up in a pile of crap to remind you of your true place in the world.

Yeah, you're telling me.

All right. Good night.

Good night.

Are you okay in there?

Caleb: I don't know.

Good.

(Birds chirp and twitter)

(Fire crackles)

(Footsteps approach)

(Moans)

Good morning, beautiful.

Good morning.

Brought you some coffee.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Thank you for a wonderful evening last night.

It was pretty wonderful, wasn't it?

Yes, it was.

Oh my God! What... what time is it?

What?

The baby.

No, no, no. Don't worry about it.

I've already been to the house.

Everything's fine.

Why didn't you wake me up?

I tried to, but you smacked me in the jaw actually.

You should think about a career in ultimate fighting.

Maybe when the baby's older.

Oh, look.

We didn't even touch Mallory's gift basket.

I know, but...

We were kind of busy.

Maybe we can have some cashews for breakfast.

That sounds wonderful.

But first, I wanna show you something.

What?

C'mon. It's outside.

Outside?

Just never mind.

Get dressed, come on.

Where are you taking me?

Just come on.

So... What do you see?

A lot of wasted space badly in need of landscaping?

Just look closer. What do you...

You're right. Caleb forgot to mow the lawn.

I am going to call him right now.

Okay, you know what I see?

Four bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the lake, big stone fire place, gourmet kitchen, and a master bedroom with an enormous walk-in closet.

What are you talking about?

You know, when I was helping Jack yesterday, right?

I kept thing about the time that I spent with my dad helping him put the extension to our house.

I've actually done a lot of renos over the years, Lou, and I'm pretty good at it.

So, I figured instead of waiting for the right place to come along, why not build it?

You mean, do it yourself?

Yeah, design and build our own place--

Yeah, exactly the way we want it.

Wow...

We would have to, you know, get the okay from Jack and Lisa first, but I think we can get them on board.

What do you think?

Would there be a granite countertop?

Yes.

Whatever you like.

(Birds chirp)

(Rooster crows)

Caleb!

(Gasps and groans)

Ty: "Whoa" is right, man.

How did I get here?

Ty: That's a good question.

We waited for you at Maggie's last night, but you never showed up.

Looks like someone had a rough night.

Ty: Come on, man.

There was a girl.

All right!

And do you remember this girl's name?

No. She was super mean.

She was totally into me though.

Oh God.

Jack's gonna k*ll me, isn't he?

(Vehicle rumbles up outside)

Let's get you up to the loft, man.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey.

Listen, I was hoping we could start again.

And if you're still willing, I'd like you to sell Chaplin... to another trick rider.

Of course.

But what made you change your mind?

I was thinking... back when we used to perform on the circuit, just before they'd announce our names over the loudspeaker, Chaplin...

He'd raise his head up so high.

He was so proud.

He just wanted to go out there and entertain the crowd.

You were right; I can't take that away from him.

Well, if that's what you want me to do, I'll make some calls.

But Sandra, I think that Chaplin already has the perfect owner.

I told you, I can't.

It's been three years since I've done any trick riding.

I've never done it alone.

But you're not gonna be alone.

This whole time, Chaplin's been right there with you.

You guys need each other.

Come on, Sandra, don't let him go.

(Hammering)

Tell me again why you're putting a lock on the outside, Jack?

Well, keeps the critters out when nobody's using it.

The last thing you want is an angry badger growling at you in the middle of the night, especially if you really gotta go.

(Laughs)
I guess so.

Thanks for all your help.

You're pretty handy with the tools.

Yeah, my pleasure.

I, uh, have to be honest with you, it's uh... It was good practice 'cause...

Well, Lou and I are thinking about building our own place, um, possibly out by the dude ranch.

Is that a fact?

Yeah, now, now... only if you're on board.

Obviously.

I mean, it's your call, I understand.

It's your property.

It is now, but it won't be forever.

So uh...

What do you think?

I think it's... inevitable.

You and Lou need your own space, and if that's your dream, I won't stand in your way.

(Laughs)

That is great news thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Jack, man.

Wow! I mean we're real excited about it.

We got a nice little space picked out there.

It's gonna be perfect.

Oh, I'm sure it will be.

New baby, a huge do-it-yourself project, a wife with extremely high expectations...

What could possibly go wrong?

(Laughing)

Right.
(Laughing)

Amy: Well, you ready?

Sandra: As ready as I'll ever gonna be.

All right Chaplin.

Let's do this before I change my mind.

Amy: That was absolutely unbelievable!

Amy: Hey, I had ty pick up your mom.

I hope you don't mind.

I just knew she wouldn't want to miss this.

Nancy: Look at you...

Oh, honey...

You were so beautiful.

I know it sounds crazy, mom, but I could feel her.

(Sobs)
Me too.

(Exhales)

A bit late in the day for a shower, don't you think?

Well, it was kind of a late night.

Yes, it was.

Which, by the way, will never happen again.

No, it won't.

I promise.

And you've been slacking off.

So get your ducks in a row, starting with a double shift today.

Yes, sir.

And a new rule: Anyone staying in the loft, namely you, showers outdoors.

There's a perfectly good garden hose.

Come on, Jack.

Or there's always the pond if you can stomach the leeches.

And, for everything else, the facilities you're looking for are located just past the garden.

I get it, you're punishing me.

(Laughs)
Oh... no.

No, I haven't started to punish you yet.

Okay, my girl, what do you think?

This is where you're gonna live.

Daddy's gonna build you a house.

You sure daddy knows what he's doing?

What?

I thought you were excited about this?

I am.

But six months from now I don't want to have to call Mike Holmes.

(Laughs)

Trust me, it's gonna be awesome.

Famous last words.

You have to imagine it though.

A real home.

Our home.
