-Yum!
-Yes!
-Oh, I almost forgot.
-Cliff:
Thank you, honey.Okay, I think
that's everything.
Shall we?
-All right.
-Don't hurt yourself.
Yeah. Yeah.
Pass those around.
Whoo!
Good job.
-Sam:
You okay, Dad?-Yeah.
Sam, I gotta tell you,
that dinner was incredible.
Yeah, it was really
great. Thank you.
Oh, yeah!
Of course.
My pleasure.
Michael, Chloe was wondering
if maybe you'd sign a waiver,
so that she could take some
beginner riding lessons.
Well, honestly,
I was on a horse today
and it wasn't so bad.
I shall sign the waiver
for Chloe to ride...
-Thank you!
-...but you have to promise
me to be so careful. Okay?
I promise. I promise.
So, do you want
to go for a ride
with me tomorrow,
while your dad
is working?
Yeah, that'd be great.
All right. I just hope
you're a better rider
than your dad is.
Oh, okay.
On that note,
we'll say good night.
-Good night.
-Thank you.
-Good night.
-Good night, you two.
Good night.
Poor guy.
I feel for him.
You know,
having to raise
Chloe on his own.
-Yeah.
-That can't be easy.
What happened
to his wife?
She was killed
in a car accident
last spring.
Yeah. You never know
what, uh,
someone else might
be carrying in their
saddle, you know?
Let's go.
-Sam:
Got it?-Yup.
Good job.
You know, Chloe...
I know we don't know
each other that well...
but I know what it's like
to lose somebody that you love.
And if you ever wanna talk,
I'm here.
Thanks, Sam.
No problem.
Now, shall we?
-Yeah.
-Come on.
Sydney, I don't...
We still don't have April.
-I can't find it.
-Uh... Uh... Uh.
-Um, April...
-See.
-Where? This is not April.
-April!
Aha! April.
You keep April on a roll
of paper towels?
We ran out of paper.
And I think I might've
logged some smaller checks
on a fence post outside.
I'm joking!
Oh...
That's so funny!
What's not funny
is that you keep records
on paper towels.
It's pretty funny.
All right,
I need to ask you about...
This is a letter addressed
What do you
know about that?
Who knows? This is probably
Did Sam ever
tell you about him?
Yeah, she told me
all about good old
Uncle Buddy.
I know that he tried
to sell Mom some
stock options
on a little airline
that he used to work on.
Maybe she bought some.
Don't you think it's worth
giving them a call?
touched turned to gold.
I'm gonna give them a call.
What time does
the bank get here?
2:
00 p.m.Okay. What I'm going to do
is, I'm going to put together
a profit and loss statement
and I'm going to try
and convince them
that you're going to be
able to pay off some of
the debt
after you get
your tax return.
Do you really think
that'll work?
They're sensible guys.
It should work.
Yeah, I think
she just wants
another apple.
Nah, she likes you.
I think she wants
her nails done.
Hey, you want to paint
her hooves?
-Really?
-Yeah.
just like you get your nails
done.
Hear that, Holly?
You're gonna
get a mani-pedi.
You know, with all
this manual work,
I really think
that I could use
a mani-pedi, too.
My nails look awful.
Well, welcome to
the country, cowgirl.
Hey.
So, Sydney told me
you have a plan.
Michael's gonna see
if they'll give us an
extension till tax time.
Yeah. It's fairly
straightforward,
simple.
I don't see any reason
why they should turn it down.
I have Sydney's
signature and...
if you approve.
All right, well.
Let's hope these guys go for it.
-Bill.
-Yes.
-Hey, how are you?
Come on in.
-Hi. Nice to meet you.
I'm Michael Thompson,
CPA, and...
Let's just go out to my office,
maybe we could work
something out, huh?
-Let's talk.
-All right.
She's gorgeous.
Mmm-hmm.
That's Holly.
She's worth
a pretty penny.
Holly?
She's the one those
folks in Kentucky are
interested in, right?
-Yes, sir.
-She'd make a nice
Christmas gift.
Why do you think
we're ahead of schedule?
Her.
Did you hear that?
Let's go.
Grandpa! Grandpa!
-What's up, Jack?
-What? What?
We heard them saying,
they were going to take Holly.
-You won't let them, will you?
-Whoa!
Just hold on. What exactly
did you hear them say?
Just something about
Holly being a good
asset to take.
Well, you know,
this is not the first time
there's been a hefty offer
on the table for that horse.
Yeah, but they can't just
take her, right? I mean,
she belongs to you.
Yeah, Mom,
Holly is ours.
Yes! Holly is ours!
And no, we're not gonna
let them take her.
But how can you
be so sure?
Your dad is trying to make
sure of that right now.
So let's just wait
and see what happens.
Okay?
-It's okay.
-Settle guys, all right.
How did it go?
Please tell me
they went for it.
- Wish I could.
- What happened?
First of all,
let me tell you,
those two bankers...
Not my favorite
people in the world.
Not only are they not
going to give us more time,
they want collateral now.
They're talking
about next week.
We know you did all you could,
Michael, we appreciate it.
They didn't go for it
because of Holly,
because they want her.
She's the down payment,
isn't she?
Did they mention Holly,
when you met with them?
They did suggest
a horse as a possible
first installment. Yeah.
See, Chloe's right.
Yeah, but they can't
just take her, right?
We owe them $200,000.
They can take whatever
they want.
Look, just hear me out
for a second.
If you sold the horse,
couldn't you just buy
it back?
No. Okay?
Horses are not like cars.
And besides, we take Holly
they're gonna meet her,
they're gonna fall in love
with her, and they're never
going to want to give her back.
If it meant buying
us more time,
I mean, would the farm
in Kentucky be so bad?
You know, he's right.
They would take really
good care of her.
Sydney, Holly's family.
And sometimes family
needs to make sacrifices.
Then can we sacrifice King?
Don't even talk
about King.
Okay, girls,
that's enough.
The big questions is,
have we considered
every option?
Are we overlooking
anything?
Well, have you gone through
all the books?
I guarantee you,
there's no help waiting
for us in any of the books.
What about that
black-tie ball that you guys
Why don't we throw one this year
and make it a fund-raiser?
Chloe, that ball
that we threw
was to give something
back to the community
and for our friends.
It just wouldn't be right
to charge them now.
Hold on a second.
I mean,
with all due respect,
Mr. Harrison, uh...
Your generosity has been
part of the problem here.
I mean, you've allowed horses
to board for free when people
couldn't pay.
You've allowed families
to go on payment plans
they really couldn't afford.
