Seven Days in Utopia Page #4

Doesn't it tempt you?

No, just the opposite.

Makes me remember

all the things I lost

because, uh, I drank too much.

That's why I put it there.

Is that why you quit the Tour?

Well, more or less, yes.

More or less, yeah.

Pretty hard to drink and drive, eh?

Yeah.

Well, I'm sorry about this morning,

being late and all.

No, no, I'm not. I am not.

Learn how to paint your shot,

you learn how to be on time.

A professional golfer does both.

Now, sign your masterpiece,

Picasso.

LUKE:
Where we headed, anyway?

JOHNNY:
Going to work on your putting.

Well, the golf course

is back that way.

Uh-huh. Yeah, it is.

I thought you said we was

going to work on some putting.

That's right. That's right.

We are. Come on.

I hope you brought some

of your winnings from last night.

Well played, gentlemen.

Well played.

Hear, hear.

Keep practicing.

Well, look who he dragged

in here with him.

You a little stiff this morning?

Still sore I beat you last night.

You better watch it.

JOHNNY:
Enough of that, Jake,

knock it off.

Hey, Jake, come on, come on.

Get the washers, all right?

Let's get the game started here.

Come on.

Same old Jake. Come on.

Okay. Now, the rules are simple.

The man who's up pitches

from behind the marker of his choice.

Yeah, but I don't see

what this has to do with golf.

You just watch. Just watch.

Just watch. See?

Ooh! You owe me five bucks, boys.

You ready to give it a try?

Yeah, sure.

Come on.

Don't make me look bad, now.

All right, it's on, boys.

There's not a chance

he'll make this.

You gonna put your money

where your mouth is?

- Ooh.

- You're on.

It's a bet, Jake.

Ho-ho!

- Beginner's luck.

- Woo!

Here Let's see you do that again.

All right. All right.

MAN:
Everybody

Needs a woman's love, now

Yes!

I like this game.

Crazy, cowboy.

Hey, knock it in, man.

Oh!

I'm gonna move

I got to work it on out

He's better than you!

Early in the mornin'

I play a few more now

Well, bend it on out

Woo!

Yeah! Yeah!

Come on.

- Come on.

- Woo-hoo!

Let's go.

Ooh.

- We're even.

- We're even.

Come on, Slim!

I like it like that

- Oh, come on!

Everybody

- That's the one! Play it.

Needs somebody

Yeah!

Everybody

- Ohh-ho.

- I'm impressed.

Needs a little love now

Oh, mercy

Make me proud, son.

You make me proud.

Watch his form.

Right off the fingers.

I'm the rodeo king!

You know what I love

about the cowboy way?

Everything! Hey!

Woo!

Okay, boys. Let's go. Let's go.

We're going to the links now.

We're gonna do some putting.

Let's go.

Come on.

Come on.

Pitching washers...

give me an idea

for a putting technique.

You're kidding, right?

No, no, sir.

I have a respect for tradition,

but I have a passion

for the truth, okay?

Now, here.

- Jake?

- Yes, sir.

Use the face-on putter.

You use the traditional one.

Quiet in the peanut gallery here.

Come on, Jake. Help me out.

Get in the hole.

Get in the hole!

Yes!

Oh-ho-ho-ho!

- Here you go, Tour boy.

- It's gonna be a good day for me.

Good. Good.

You try.

Come on, rookie.

Make me some money.

- BOTH:
Oh!

Ooh. Aah...

This is fun.

Miss it. Miss it.

No, no, no.

Yes!

I'm impressed.

You ready to give this one a try?

- Sure.

- Here you go.

When in Utopia, right?

DUANE:
Come on. Let's go.

More drinks for me tonight.

Let's go.

CHUCK:
Ain't no way.

Come on, now.

- This look right?

- Yeah.

No way. No way.

No way. No-oh, yeah!

All right, let me ask you something.

Would you or could you

use this in competition?

I'd probably get laughed off the course,

but it definitely works.

Yeah. No, you keep it.

'Cause when the time comes,

you'll know when to use it.

Okay.

LUKE:
You have any kids?

No, sir.

That's one of my biggest regrets.

I saw your wedding photo.

Oh, you snooping around again, are you?

You snooping?

You're a super snooper.

- I'm sorry.

- You're a real snooper.

Well, that's a cool study room.

Pictures of all those legends.

No. Annie, my Annie,

couldn't have kids.

She used to joke that she didn't

need any 'cause she had me.

Yeah.

Well, if you don't mind me asking,

what happened?

Well, she's... she's gone on.

Couldn't put up with my drinking anymore.

Can't say I blame her.

Sorry to hear that.

Yeah, well...

gone but not forgotten.

Yeah.

As they say...

all part of God's plan.

Yeah, I suppose.

Good night.

Night.

See you in the morning.

You bet.

LUKE:
Let me guess.

This is where you drop me off

in the middle of nowhere

and expect me to get back home

with the clothes on my back

and two golf tees in my pocket.

That'd be way too easy.

- Wow.

- That's it.

- Is this yours?

- Yes, she is.

Yeah.

Um... You're not planning on

going up in this thing,

though, are you?

Well, why not?

I mean, flying's a lot like golf.

Shoo. Eh? Ah?

No. You said fly fishing

was a lot like golf.

- Did I say that?

- Yeah.

All right, maybe I did.

You ready?

- No way.

- Why?

I'm keeping my feet

on the ground today.

Oh, yeah?

LUKE:
Whoa. I don't know about this,

Johnny. Let's turn back.

JOHNNY:
Your feet control direction

with the rudder.

- The stick controls the wings and pitch.

- Okay.

Now, to turn, you press one foot

and turn the wheel in that direction.

LUKE:
Turn the wheel in the direction.

- And to go up or down, push or pull.

- Push or pull, yeah.

- Got it?

- Okay.

LUKE:
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Okay.

- Okay.

No hands, see? Like this.

You're doing good.

LUKE:
All right. I'm getting it now.

I'm getting it. I think I'm getting it.

JOHNNY:
It's like riding a horse.

Seep her steady.

Uh-oh. Ooh-ooh-ooh...

What's... Wait, wait, wait.

What just happened?

What-Johnny?

- Hold on. Hold on.

- What happened?

JOHNNY:
We have an emergency.

We have an emergency.

- LUKE:
Whoa!

- Put the plane down.

Johnny, you take it. Take it.

You take control of this aircraft, son.

All right?

I don't know what to do.

Keep the nose down and

level the wings. All right?

- Okay.

- All right.

JOHNNY:
That's good. Good.

- All right. You're all right.

- How's that?

- All right, now go-

- We should try to go back, shouldn't we?

No, we can't get back.

We have to find a place around here.

Come on. Come on.

There's a-There's a wheat field.

All right. Good.

You're doing great, son.

Keep your wits about you, okay?

Level your wings.

You got 500 feet to go.

How about that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're doing great.

Steady. Steady.

Steady. Bring it in.

Bring it in. Steady.

- Wings level. Keep the wings level.

- Okay.

Leveling my wings.

Is this good? We good?

Great. You're doing great.

Leveling. Leveling.

Bring it in. Bring it in.

Well, coming in, coming in. Wait.

What-What happened here?

- Goodness me.

- What?

The engine was turned off.

Did you turn the engine off?

LUE:
The engine turned off?

Is this your idea of a sick joke?

Why are you laughing?

Confidence comes

with being prepared, my son.

As in golf or life, hand in hand.
