And it's still not enough.
It never will be.
What do you mean?
You know how grateful
I am for--
No, Mom. It's not you.
It's-- It's everybody else.
Derek and Crystal.
Even Justin sometimes.
If Dad had just stayed.
Where did that come from?
I don't know.
I-I don't know anything.
I just--
[Sighs]
I think--
I think that things
might have been different.
That's all.
I met your father...
right when I graduated
from high school.
He was the most beautiful man
I'd ever seen.
Your father had dreams
of getting out of here.
Big dreams.
Having a wife and a baby
made that hard.
So when we had your sister,
he left us.
Yeah, I know that part.
You don't always get to be
what you want to be
when you grow up, Cale.
Your father ran away
from who he was.
From us.
Never heard from him again.
You've been chasing this
motorcycle dream
for a long time.
I know-- I know it means
a lot to you, but--
but maybe it's time
that you started getting
serious about your future.
Mom, racing is my future.
Cale, seriously--
What--
What am I supposed to do?
I don't know anything else.
You know, I got news
for you.
the lottery.
Cale--
[Exhales]
[Door Slams]
Are you okay?
John.
John, what's goin' on?
Hey! What are you doin'?
I heard about the stunt
you pulled...
- at the lookout last night.
- That has nothing to do
with racing.
- It has to do with
who you are as a person.
- You can't take my bike, John!
Last time I checked,
I own this cycle.
I have done everything
you've ever asked me to do.
Don't do this.
I wish I felt like
I could count on you, Cale.
But I just don't.
How am I supposed
to race? Huh?
That's not my problem.
[Rock]
Prison gates won't open up
for me
On these hands and knees
I'm crawling
[Announcer]
There they go!
I reach for you
[Announcer Continues,
Indistinct]
Well, I'm terrified
of these four walls
These iron bars
can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come, please
I'm calling
And all I scream for you
Hurry, I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me
wrong from right
And I'll show you
what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave
this life behind me
Say it
Hello?
Hello.
Can I help ya?
Yeah.
What's the deal
with this bike?
That old Excalibur?
Yeah.
What do you wanna know?
I-- It looks
pretty beat up.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's seen better days.
- Does it still work?
- Did once.
Um, why don't I just take
this piece of junk
off your hands.
[Scoffs]
Gotta be worth something,
don't you think?
- How much?
- I don't know.
What do you think?
[Cale Sighs]
It's-It's hard to tell.
[Horse Whinnies]
pitching in around here?
- In the mornings.
- I look like
I need help, do I?
Look, I really want
the bike.
What the hell.
[Rock]
There's a splinter
in my hand
But I'm not complaining
Just by nudging my shoulder
Yeah, I know what
you're thinking
We're coming up empty
Yeah, we know what to do now
Let's ride
You and me in sidecar one
All right.
See you later, okay?
All right.
That's cool? Bye.
Love you. Bye.
Oh. Hey, Bailey--
'Cause it's almost gone now
Wait a minute.
Make your bike look good.
On the house.
Wally, thank you.
I'm good as gold now
The timing's so perfect
The time keeps on moving
And ours is almost up
[Whinnying]
Use your sleight of hand now
Yeah, you're gone
when the smoke clears
[Blusters]
And now I miss you and me
in sidecar one
Our course is set
for a collision
For now I blame this on
Let's go.
How was your day?
The night
'cause it's almost gone now
The night
is almost gone, yeah
yeah
yeah
The night is gone
Forever
Hey.
It's the lottery ticket guy.
Rancho Bonita?
[Chuckles]
Everyone around here
calls me Alex.
Alex, what are you
doing here?
I help out
What about you?
Pretty much the same.
You ride?
Well,
I ride a different animal.
I race motocross.
At least I used to.
[Chuckles]
You know, I still do,
but just...
not lately.
- I'm gonna be a pro.
- [Horse Nickers]
Okay. Pro.
Nice to see you again.
[Horse Whinnies]
Where you headed?
To work.
Need a lift?
[Rain Pattering]
Yeah.
[Chuckles]
I'm Cale, by the way.
So what happened
to your crazy friend?
Oh. Justin.
He's, uh, training.
I was actually
supposed to go, too,
but it didn't work out.
I guess for the better.
Maybe.
[Engine Starts]
Alejandra?
Hey! Papi.
Do I know this boy?
No, Papi.
I don't like him.
You don't like
any boys around me.
I hear your boy Cale
lost his bike.
Just you and me, bro.
Not much of a challenge.
I'm not your bro,
all right?
And you
hooking up with Crystal
was so not cool.
Oh, she knew
what she was doing.
Yeah, did she?
Mm-hmm.
Anyway, jealousy
will get you nowhere.
[Chuckling]
Actually, I was just trying
to get her out of there.
I don't know why.
Anyhoo, all's fair
in love and motocross.
Did you come up with that
by yourself, or did your dad
help you with that?
Just a little bit.
Yeah. Hey!
What's up, man?
I haven't seen you
in a while, man.
Yeah, been around.
Busy.
Yeah?
Rebuilding a bike.
Yeah, I heard. I heard.
It's too bad my sponsor
couldn't help you out.
It all comes easy for you.
What?
You know, it all
falls in your lap.
With college, girls,
sponsors.
You don't have to work
that hard for it, you know?
Is that--
That's what you think?
Yeah?
Because I bust my ass
every day, Cale.
and that's why we're sponsored
and you're not. Okay?
I race on the edge,
and you play it safe.
You got so much
going on in your head,
you don't even think.
Dude, where is this coming from?
I thought we were
on the same team.
What team, Cale?
When are you gonna get it?
Motocross
is not a team sport.
If I was the one who took
the fall the other day, you
wouldn't have gone back for me?
Yeah, you're damn right.
Wow. Okay.
I get it.
Aw, did you two break up?
Hey! Hey, what's going on?
Take it outside, guys!
Take it outside!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Come on! All right, all right!
It's done, it's done!
It's over!
Out! You too, Trent!
- What? I didn't do anything!
- They're your friends.
You're fired.
Oh! Fine!
Here you go.
So how's Cale?
[Sighs]
Seems more agitated
than usual.
I heard about
his bike deal.
He'll get through.
He's a tough kid.
Thanks for asking.
Well, you sure
look pretty today.
Thanks, Bud.
You know,
we've been doing this dance
for a long time now.
[Chuckles]
I've got two kids who
are obviously a handful.
I work this job,
go to school part-time.
[Sighs]
You don't want to get
involved with that.
Don't be so sure.
Damn it.
Maybe it needs gas.
So if I get enough points,
I can still qualify
