Cowgirls n' Angels Page #2

But, Mom, come on!

It's Terence Parker!

I don't care about

Terence Parker.

Anyway, you don't even

know how to ride a horse.

Oh, well, I do so!

Oh, yeah?

Yeah!

Summer camp.

Uh, that was...

two years ago.

The rodeo's no place

for a little girl.

It's just a bunch of...

Deadbeats?

Huh? You sure you not

talkin' about what's-his-face

picking you up tonight?

- He's not that bad.

- [Horn Honks]

There he is.

No on the rodeo.

I got my phone on me.

I'll be back by midnight.

ou sure you're okay?

I always am.

[Door Closes]

Hmm.

- Okay.

[Sighs]

- [Engine Starts]

Just for

a little while.

[Sighs]

[Murmuring]

Mr. Parker...

[Reading]

"I would be honored,

Mr. Parker..."

[Continues, Indistinct]

She really wanted

to come out today,

but it's just so hard

to get off of work.

Okay.

Let's get you on in there.

[Gate Creaks]

Yes, sir.

In you go.

All right.

Howdy.

Howdy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, now.

Don't you want to

name him first?

Hmm?

You want me

to name him?

Hi.

[Snorts]

[Blusters]

Well,

I think...

that your name

should be Prince.

Prince.

Prince it is.

Go on.

Get up.

All right.

All right,

now hold on a second.

First thing I want you

to remember is that

you and this horse are a team.

Every team

has a leader.

So that makes you

the leader of

the Ida-Prince team.

Yes, sir.

All right.

Let's get you on up.

All right.

On three.

[Together]

One, two, three.

There we go.

All right now.

Hi, Prince.

Now, you just

hold on to the reins...

and tell him

where to go.

You might wanna put

your heel into it.

I got it.

[Chuckles]

I'm sure that you do.

But you still

gotta listen to me.

That's part of the deal.

All right?

Off you go.

Yes, sir.

[Country]

[Clicks Tongue]

[Woman]

Learnin' to ride

Show him

who the boss is.

I'm the boss!

What are you doin'

over here?

I don't know!

[Chuckles]

Get on over there.

Go on.

That horse

should be riding you.

A few broken bones

for a place to hide

I get knocked down

when I'm learnin' to ride

[Sighs]

Come on. Faster!

All right.

Here's the turn!

They're watchin'!

That's right.

Good boy.

[Terence]

That's it. Now hold him up.

Hold him up.

[Woman]

It's the moon

It's the sky

Attagirl, Ida.

Lookin' good.

I know it don't

make no sense

Keep it up, boy. Good boy.

'Cause I ain't even

met you yet

But I know that

some things take time

And everything's all right

Good girl.

Good job.

- You're as ready

as you're gonna get.

- Here. You deserve it.

[Laughs]

[Horse Whinnies]

Better, boy?

Then, Madison,

you'll be up, okay?

And then

you'll go last

on Friday.

Oh. Howdy.

Howdy.

This here's the young lady

I was tellin' you about.

Rebecca,

I'd like you to meet

Ida Clayton.

You're Jim Clayton's

granddaughter?

Yes, ma'am.

Wh...

How old are you?

I'm two years older

than Mr. Parker when

he started performin', ma'am.

[Chuckles]

Okay.

Well, why don't you go ahead

and show us what you can do?

- And you can lose the "ma'am."

- Oh, yes, m...

You gotcha.

[Chuckles]

[Ida]

Okay.

All right, Prince.

Okay.

[Clears Throat]

Ride like the wind.

Thank you.

That's a different way

to get up on the horse.

[Chuckles]

She's learnin'.

Didn't you once tell me...

"You can't make a silk purse

out of a sow's ear"?

Come on, now.

Just give her

a chance.

- You gotta admit,

she shows promise.

- Form's not bad.

[Terence]

Let's see.

Hmm.

Not bad, Ida.

Thanks for comin' out today.

Thank you, Miss Parker.

Sorry for wastin'

y'all's time.

You'll fit in

just fine.

Welcome to the Sweethearts

of the Rodeo.

[Cheering]

Seriously?

[Augustus] Whoo!

[Terence]

Yeah!

Wait. I'm in?

Oh, thank you,

Miss Parker.

I promise I won't

be a problem at all

to any of you.

[Gasps]

Thank you.

Rebecca, we done?

I got some laundry

I gotta fold.

No, we are not done.

We have a new member

who needs to practice.

And I'd like to

try her out

on Friday night.

Congratulations.

I'm Kansas. Good job.

Hi.

We'll see

if she can really ride.

Race y'all to the well.

[Whinnies]

- Come on, girls!

Let's go!

- [Scattered Cheers]

[Ida Narrating]

I used to think of people

as a great big box of crayons,

and each one of us

had our own special color...

that God would scribble

into his book of life.

Only up till now,

I thought my color was "clear."

[Woman]

She's an Oklahoma girl,

singing songs at midnight

Come on, boy!

Howdy, partners.

I'm Ida.

Yeehaw!

Why, yes,

I'm a cowgirl.

Dancin' past

the porch light

Down among the path

Uh, occupied!

Uh, one-one second.

Ida, now!

I'm late for work.

Give me a moment!

[Sighs]

What?

Is that makeup

on your face?

Huh?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

See? I'm just goofin' around.

That's all.

Oh, Lord.

You've discovered boys.

I'll be back by 10:00.

[Yodels]

The trail shines out

before them

[Yodels]

All around the world

Yippee-yi-yo-ki-yay

For that Lone Star state

Hey, babe.

I forgot my purse.

Ida?

[Man On P.A.]

What a beautiful day for a rodeo.

That's right.

We're gonna have us a calf-ropin',

bronco-bustin',

barrel-racin' afternoon.

- Ida.

- Hey, Augustus.

[Woman]

Hi, preacher.

Howdy.

Why do people

call you preacher?

That's what I am.

The rodeo preacher.

So, you, like,

pray for the riders

or somethin'?

Oh, yeah. Riders, animals,

even new members

of the Sweethearts.

Anyone

who may need help.

Come on.

[Whinnying]

It's just me and you.

[Kisses]

[Man On P.A.] You know what?

Let's cheer 'em on with a round

of applause as we go down...

Well, now look at you

all gussied up.

Is your mama

gonna make it tonight?

My mama, sir? Um...

Oh, no. No.

She has to work.

- Oh, that's too bad.

- Yeah.

Well, get up on there.

Let's do it.

Oh. Okay.

They're waitin' on you.

Okay. Hi, Prince.

Come on.

Yes. Mr. Mack,

I realize I am late. But-

No. You're not listenin' to me.

I have to go get my daughter.

[Blusters Quietly]

[Cheering]

All right, girls.

If you feel it,

I wanna hear ya.

Keep your lines tight.

If you make a mistake,

just keep ridin'.

Kansas, keep an eye on Ida.

Hey, Ida,

don't be nervous.

Just have fun.

Make a ruckus!

That's what Sweethearts

do best.

[Man On P.A.]

Sweethearts of the Rodeo.

[Rebecca]

All right!

Ride 'em like you stole 'em!

Whoo-hoo!

Ooh-ee!

Whoo!

[Cheering]

Ow!

Yeah!

That's so funny.

[Man]

Step on up, folks.

[Woman]

Line up.

- [Chuckles Nervously]

- Can I have your autograph?

- Wait. You want mine?

- Aren't you the new Sweetheart?

Well, I guess I am.

What's it like

to be a Sweetheart

of the Rodeo?

It's better than anything

in the whole wide world.

[Elaine]

Sign mine

"No-good stinkin' liar."

Mom, I swear

I can explain.

Yeah, you always can.

Get outta here.

Ow! That hurts!

Ma. Mama, that hurts.

Uh, ma'am? Ma'am?

I reckon you must be

Ida's mom.

And I reckon

you must be the one

who put her up to this.

Well, no. Not exactly.

She gave me the letter

you wrote. But I...

If you actually believe I wrote this,
