Cowgirls n' Angels Page #5

[Justin] I'll catch up

with you later.

I wouldn't count on it,

cowboy.

Rebecca,

what is wrong with you?

You are about as sharp

as a marble, aren't you?

Let go!

Do you even remember what

brought you to the Sweethearts

in the first place?

Rebecca, I've changed.

Have you? Because last night

you were breakin'

and enterin'.

And tonight you're

throwin' back longnecks

with John Wayne Jr.

Looks to me like you're

hell-bent on gettin'

sent back to prison.

It was

a correctional institute.

Whatever it was,

do you ever wanna walk

through those doors again?

No.

Well, then you

gotta stay clean.

And stay away

from that cowboy.

You hear me?

Yes, ma'am.

[Country:
Soft]

[Woman Vocalizing]

[Vocalizing Continues]

Beat up

Worn down

Comin' back around

'Cause I know

You will always leave your

Light on for me

I will call you home

[Horse Blusters]

[Man]

Hey, Walker,

you got them halters?

Yeah, I got one

right here.

Here you go.

Thanks.

He kinda looked like her,

but I don't know.

[Madison]

What was his last name?

She doesn't know

his last name.

Shh, shh.

- What you doin'?

- Kansas found your daddy.

[Kansas]

I didn't say that.

Where's he at?

- He's at the

stockyards.

- [Gasps]

Ida, I said "I think"!

Howdy.

Howdy, sir.

What can I do for ya?

Well, if you don't

mind me askin'. Um...

Does your first name

happen to be Walker?

Yes, it is.

My name's Ida.

Ida Clayton.

My mama's name

is Elaine Clayton.

It's a fine name.

Mm-hmm.

[Laughs]

Well, you see, sir,

we're from Dalton,

and that's in Oklahoma.

But we used to be

from Springville, or at least

that's where my mama was.

I wasn't actually born

on account of

I'm only 12 years old.

But that's kind of the point

because she fell in love

with a rodeo man named Walker.

And I was just thinking

that since his name's Walker,

and he could be my father.

You know.

Since your name's Walker,

it could be perfect.

Your name is Walker,

right?

That's good.

[Panting]

I mean, you're just

the right age and everything.

I-I-I was just wondering if-

if you could be him.

My father.

Ida, you seem like

a wonderful young lady.

But I've never been

to Springville.

I'm sorry.

Wait a minute.

They didn't meet in Springville.

They met in Kansas City.

I'm from Colorado.

I'm pretty sure I've

never met your mother.

I'm sorry to have

wasted your time.

[Sobs]

Hey, babe.

[Harmonica]

Well, what are

you doin' here?

Well, I was on my way

to Missouri...

and I passed

a sign that said,

"You are leaving Kansas."

It hit me I'm not ready

to leave you.

Look, I got

a confession to make.

I'm not supposed

to drink anymore.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I thought you just bein'

a big rodeo star and all...

[Laughs]

No, it's just

I used to be kinda wild.

I guess I got

what you could call a past,

and... I'm different now, but-

[Laughs]

Is that okay?

Of course it's okay.

You know,

I got a past too.

So what's

this past of yours?

[Grunts]

I went to business school

for two years.

That is not a past.

A past

is something bad,

like petty theft

at least.

I dropped out.

All right.

That's a little better.

Gettin' there?

How come?

Uh, my parents, uh,

own this big business...

and I was expected

to take it over one day.

Yeah.

When I got there,

I just felt like

I was penned in.

I couldn't breathe.

Thought it was my destiny

to be out here

and think for myself.

How about you?

Am I happy?

Yeah.

Hopefully the bad times

are behind me.

[Sniffles, Sobs]

Don't I know you

from somewhere?

Here I thought

you did all your hidin'

in the hay cart.

Oh, come now, angel.

Tell old Rawley

what's all the fuss.

I ain't no angel.

Bad day, huh?

It's a bad life.

Well, I don't know

about that.

Aren't you one

of those Sweethearts?

More like one

of their stray horses.

Mama was right.

I'm such a mess.

He wouldn't wanna have

anything to do with me.

Hey. Hey now. Hey.

What are we talkin' about?

Boy trouble?

You just wouldn't understand.

You probably

right about that.

I, uh, never been too good

at relationships myself.

But I will say sometimes

it's just as simple...

as that boy not even knowing

there's a problem.

You can't give up.

- You gotta get right back

in the saddle and...

- Wait.

- What did you just say?

- About giving up?

No, no.

About "not even knowing."

Yeah.

Uh...

That's what

I'm talkin' about.

Can I have this?

Well, I...

Well, I'm glad

I could be of help.

[Ida Narrating]

That cowboy helped me

see the problem.

My daddy probably

didn't know I existed.

But if I could become

a famous trick rider...

and get my picture

on the front page

of the newspaper,

then he would find me for sure.

The Hippodrome?

You want me to teach you

the Hippodrome?

Mm-hmm.

Why?

Why?

That's right. Why?

I can't even get you

to practice your drills.

Well, you said

I had what it takes.

Well, maybe you do,

but that doesn't mean...

I'm gonna teach you

a dangerous trick

like the Hippodrome.

Listen. Did Kansas and Madison

ever make the front page

doing a Spin the Horn?

Not that I know of.

Then Hippodrome it is.

I hope someday

you find your daddy, Ida.

I really do.

But whether

you do or not,

you can't go living your life

lettin' all those yesterdays

define your tomorrows,

not if you wanna be

a trick rider.

You gotta step

into that arena

with a clear head...

and a quiet heart.

But you don't start out

with the Hippodrome.

You gotta learn

every piece of it

step by step.

Fine.

Then that's what I'll do.

You don't have to get

all Mr. Miyagi on me.

[Woman]

The way I see it

Come on. Relax.

I got a pretty good chance

of bein'

Who I wanna be and gettin'

where I wanna go

I ain't lettin' nothin'

stand in my way

Ain't no reason

I can't find somebody

who believes in me

Knows how to love me

It happens every single day

Somebody's gonna set

the world on fire

Somebody's gonna fly

a little higher

Than they dreamed

Somebody gets a blessing

from above

Somebody gets to live

the life they love

Somebody

Might as well be me

That a girl.

Easy.

Breathe. Breathe.

[Whooping]

Good girl.

Easy as pie.

Somebody's gonna set

the world on fire

Hey.

Hey.

Any news

on the sponsor front?

Oh, you know.

"We'd sure love to,

Miss Parker, just as soon

as this economy picks back up."

[Spits]

I heard that there's

gonna be a big honcho...

from the Cactus Saddlery

here tonight.

Really?

Word is they lookin'.

They'd be great.

[Sighs]

I know you been praying,

Augustus.

We all have.

But I'm not sure

it's doing any good.

I mean, every time

we get close to it,

it seems like someone

just snatches it

away from us.

If God

is driving our car,

then honestly,

it seems to me...

he took a wrong turn

a few miles back, or I...

Okay.

I know you

believe, Rebecca,

but believin' and trustin'

is two different things.

So you think all

my second-guessin'

makes me a fool?

No.

Just means you've been

given a chance...
