Hey.

Hey, hey.

Mama...

You goin' for a ride?

Looks that way.

Want some company?

Your knee's not right.

Then I'll take the quad.

That thing spooks Shadow.

You know that.

Those stalls still need

to be cleaned out.

Unless you want to pay

somebody else to do it?

No. I'll do it.

Which trail are you taking?

The wash.

Why do you always got

to ride the damn wash?

- 'Cause it's the best trail.

- Yeah, it is.

That's why we can't keep the

damn Mexicans out of it.

If I see any "damn Mexicans,"

I'll tell 'em hello from you.

Did you bring a

walkie-talkie with you?

Yup!

Don't leave that

coffee cup out there.

Sh*t, dude! What the hell?

- We're going shooting today.

- So go.

Come with us, ass hat.

I don't feel like shooting cactus

with you two faggots today.

We're not shootin' cactus today.

- Come on.

- Ah! You dick!

Thank you. Thank you. Very.

You're very welcome.

The na... the name?

Do you speak English?

His name is Shadow.

Shadow.

It's okay.

S, s, work.

Oh.

S.

Yes, please.

Gracias, gracias.

Sorry.

Okay.

Good day!

Good day.

No sh*t.

You guys! You guys, come here!

Quick!

There's some Mexicans

right there in the wash.

Where?

- Right there by that tree right there.

- I don't see 'em.

Use your scope, dude.

Okay, yeah, I got 'em.

Yeah, those guys

are definitely illegal.

- How do you know for sure?

- Duh, Sean.

You think they're here

just out for a stroll?

Hand me the 06.

No, dude, you can't just start

shooting at those guys.

I so knew you two fags

would puss out on me!

Look, I told you,

we're only gonna scare them.

You don't shoot at them.

You shoot near them.

- Now, give me the gun.

- Screw you.

Fine.

I'll use this old piece of sh*t.

Sure I don't miss and hit one of 'em.

You're such a dick. Just make sure

you aim way far away from them.

Yeah, no sh*t, bozo.

I'm just gonna scare 'em...

back across the line.

Oh!

Brad, what the hell?

- That last shot was way too close!

- I didn't hit him, Sean!

Besides, the point is to get close

so it scares the sh*t out of them.

Brad, check it out.

See that big ol' jug of water?

Yeah. I got it.

You hit that thing,

it'll scare the hell of out 'em.

Plus, they won't have

any water, right?

Then they'll totally have to run their

sorry ass back across the line.

Genius.

- Hey, hand me some more 06 shells, dude.

- Let me take a look at this sh*t.

Are you freaking crazy?

The thing's, like, right next to them.

You could totally screw that shot up!

We're not using my dad's rifle to

shoot that close to those guys.

Oh, hey, hey, hey.

It's cool, it's cool, it's cool.

Look, why don't you show Kev and I

what a safe distance is to be shot at?

It's a killer scope on that thing.

You're not gonna hit 'em.

Go for it, Sean-o. You could

shoot the tits off a fly.

- No!

- Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

- Sean, you just took out that lady, man!

- Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t! Oh, sh*t!

What the hell did you

shoot her for, dude?

I didn't shoot her, a**hole!

She came over the wash! I was

trying to miss the f***ing Mexican!

- Oh, God.

- She's moving.

- She's moving, dude. Look, look.

- You swear to God?

I swear to God. Just look.

What are we gonna do?

We got to get out of here.

- What? We can't just leave her there!

- You want to go down there, Sean?

When we get back, we'll call 911

from a payphone or something.

Besides, the Mexican

guy was helping her!

Oh, f...

- Oh, what happened?

- Uh...

Where's Roy? Roy!

My horse?

Get my horse.

Jose!

My horse. My horse.

- I-I-I get horse.

- Get my horse.

Shadow?

Oh. Shadow.

- I have horse.

- All right.

Hey.

Hey! What the hell are you doing?

Hey!

Hey!

Roy.

- Livy.

- It's all right.

What are we gonna do?

My dad's gonna kill me!

Dude, your dad's never gonna

find out unless you freak out.

She looked pretty bad to me,

dude. Maybe he hit her.

I didn't hit her, you dick!

I was aiming at the ground!

Shut up, Kevin! Look, we got to swear

not to tell anybody about this ever.

Nobody! Because if anyone

finds out, we're all screwed!

I'm not. I didn't even shoot at all!

It doesn't matter, dumbass.

You're an accessory to the crime.

- Sean's the one who shot her.

- Shut up!

Amigos!

Okay.

We're gonna have to ask

you some more questions.

Later. Tomorrow, I mean. Okay,

I'll drive you back to the house.

No, no, I got to put up Livy's horse.

Roy, we can get the

horse back to the barn.

Nope.

Uncle Roy?

Really sorry, Roy.

Roy, the sheriff mentioned they'd be

coming by here tomorrow morning, and...

Kaye and I thought we could

stay out here with you tonight.

If that suits you.

Mom! I don't know how to do this one.

Yeah.

Soon as we told him what happened,

he started talkin' pretty fast.
