then you're dumber

than I thought you were.

Mom!

Ow! That hurts!

You just ruined

the best thing

that's ever happened to me!

Pretty sad if

this is the best thing

that ever happened to you.

Well, how would you know?

When all you care about

is your dumb old job!

Yeah, I care about my job

so much, I just threw it away

so I could look for you!

Right along with any chance

of me ever findin' my daddy!

Wait. That's

what this is about?

You actually think you're gonna

just stroll into every rodeo

this side of Louisiana...

and say, "Hi. I'm Ida.

Which one of you

is my daddy?"

You're gonna be waitin'

in a long line.

Well, maybe if I didn't

know his name.

But I do,

and it's Walker! So ha!

What are you gonna do

if you find him, huh?

Transform magically

into a respectful

and loving daughter?

Baby, listen to me.

Listen. There's only

one thing you need to know

about your daddy.

And that's the fact

that he deserted us.

He did.

He deserted us.

You just have to accept that

and move on.

Oh, me?

Me, move on?

You're the one

who keeps him stuffed

in your closet!

All right? He is gone.

All right? Gone!

I hate you!

[Whinnies]

[Rebecca]

Oh, hey. There's Kim now.

Nice job, girls.

We gotta get all this

loaded up so we can

get on the road by 10:00.

Sorry, Rebecca,

uh, but I'm not goin'.

Well, why not, Kim?

Kenny doesn't want me

to be away that long.

Wh... [Chuckles]

I didn't know

it was up to Kenny.

I'm sorry.

- [Engine Revs]

- What are we gonna do?

We should bring Ida back.

That crazy lady is not

lettin' her anywhere near us.

After she lied,

I'm not sure I want her back.

Well, I think we all knew

she was lyin'.

I'm just startin' to think

maybe she's too much trouble.

That's all.

I think you said that

about me once.

And me.

Definitely said that

about me.

[Chuckles]

You even said that

about me.

Weak.

[Chuckles]

[Sighs]

Well, I don't know

what I would do with Ida,

but now that I'm unemployed,

I could really use the money.

Okay. Let me call you

first thing tomorrow morning,

and I'll let you know.

All right.

Thanks.

[Beeps]

[Sighs]

Who was that?

Carrie wants me to go

to Oklahoma City...

and help her

with her catering

for a few weeks.

You gonna do it?

I don't know, okay?

I'll figure it out.

[Car Door Closes]

Howdy, ma'am.

- I'm, uh, Terence Parker.

- I know who you are.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, well, uh,

look, Miss Clayton.

You and me kinda

got off on the wrong foot,

and I was thinkin'...

My daughter's

not ridin' with you.

So you might as well

just turn around and go.

You know, Miss Clayton,

the Sweethearts, they give

everyone a fresh start in life.

Sweethearts takes 'em all in

and gives 'em a second family.

Well, Ida's already

got a family.

[Sighs]

I know that.

And a mighty fine mom too.

How would you know that?

Because I knew

your daddy.

And I know how much care

he put into raising ya.

Even if you did start out

as an ornery little thing

no higher than my knee.

Yes, sir. Jim was a...

Jim was a good man.

And a fine cowboy.

Sure looked out

for me.

Wish someone would've

looked out for him.

Mm-hmm.

ou and me both.

I think he'd be proud

to know that Ida

was ridin' with us.

Don't you dare

tell me what my daddy

would've wanted, Mr. Parker.

And don't you go

usin' his memory

for your personal gain.

[Sighs]

You're right. Sorry.

That... That was out of line.

Um, I don't know

if I mentioned that

there's pay involved?

Seventy-five dollars

a performance.

Twelve performance

works out to be about,

um... about $900.

Times is hard right now.

For all of us.

Um, I could pay you

half up front...

and, well, the rest of it

when we come back.

And, um,

I'd be personally

responsible for Ida.

[Inaudible]

[Chuckles]

Shh.

Something about the way

my heart flows

On a sunny day

Somethin' about sayin'

I'll love...

Wh... Girls,

now that's not very nice,

now, is it?

You said we should be

practicing our roping.

- Not on Sierra.

- [Giggles]

These little things

in life

I love the most

Yeah, well,

they said they was gonna

come see us up in Fremont,

but I'll believe that

when I see it.

Five years of ridin' rodeos,

and my parents have only

come to see me one time.

Must be hard for you.

Nope. I don't care

one way or the other.

What about your folks, Ida?

Hey, did you hear that...

Chuck Norris found another way

to make butter

without churnin' it?

He just roundhouse

kicks the cow,

and it comes out butter.

[Chuckles]

I hate those stupid

Chuck Norris jokes.

No. Do another.

[Sighs]

- Hey there.

- How can I help you?

I'm Rebecca Parker

with the Sweethearts.

The Sweethearts

of the Rodeo.

Heard a lot about you.

Thank you.

Dean Stucky,

Selby's manager.

Hi, sir.

Gimme a sec.

Lemme grab your paperwork.

Okay.

Careful there, little lady.

This here's some

sensitive information.

[Radio Turns Off]

Okay.

If you'll just sign those,

I will grab y'all's passes.

You see, Mr. Stucky,

I've been tryin' to

call you all day.

Um, it's very important

that we get a chance...

to practice in the arena

before tomorrow

night's show.

- Why is that?

- W-We always do.

The girls and the horses

need to get familiar

with their surroundings...

so we don't

have any accidents.

[Inhales]

Dang. I am sorry to say...

ring's all booked up

tomorrow.

Well, uh,

what about tonight?

[Chuckles]

Now come on.

Now you know these gals

just gonna prance around in

their pretty little britches.

The only accident they may have,

one of them may get their makeup

smudged a little dab.

[Chuckles]

Practice.

Look here, Mr. Stucky.

My name's

Terence Parker.

Case you don't

recognize the name,

that's me up there on that wall.

Me and my wife started

the Sweethearts of the Rodeo

over 25 years ago.

Now, all I'm askin' you

is to make that dirt

available tonight.

And, uh, show these ladies

some respect.

If you don't, I'm gonna

give you such a whoopin',

you won't sit down for a month.

[Stutters]

Well, uh...

Okay, Mr. Parker.

Uh... Well... Why don't I

just meet you on out there?

She's pretty.

Yeah!

I seen her first there,

buddy.

[Chuckles]

It just sounds hollow

Some things I cannot resist

So I'm cleaning up my mess

But every mill

has need for grist

Then must give up the excess

So lay me down

[Squishes]

[Sniffs, Exhales]

Come on, Daddy.

Please be in here.

Are you dumber

than a box of dirt?

What are you doin' in here?

- Kansas!

- What are you doing?

I'm trying to

find my daddy.

What is that smell?

Oh, come on...

What in the Sam Hill

are you girls doin' in here?

[Ida, Kansas]

Nothin'.

Looks like somethin' to me.

- [Police Radio Chatter]

- I was tryin' to find out about

a cowboy that I met tonight.

And... Ida must have woke up

and followed me. I'm sorry.

It was stupid.

Darn right it was stupid.

If word of this got out

to any sponsors...

Ah, nothin'

was missin' here.

I ain't gonna
