For all you hardworkin',
hard-playin' little folks...
whose bodies are growin' every day,
you remember Ranch Breakfast, uh...
is the cereal
that builds champions.
It's exploding with
the kind of energy that's,
that's got more stuff
in it, uh,
than toast and bacon.
- Eggs.
- Eggs.
And toast and bacon
and, uh,
uh, meat loaf and olives,
nuts.
It's just got more good stuff in
it than I- just so much good stuff-
Mama, don't let your babies
grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home
and they're always alone
Even with someone
they love
Welcome to the grand opening

Hey, it's Lucinda.
Lucinda Fairlee, theJ B Ranch
trick cowgirl rider.
Okay, up we go. Hello. How
ya doin'? Can we have a ride?
You-
You don't remember me?
Last month after
the Watsonville Rodeo.
I know how you feel,
darlin'.
Ladies and gentlemen, for
Ampco Industries, Rising Star,
horse racing's
most honored stallion.
In industry, in energy, in development,
in research,
entertainment,
in nutrition,
recreation, and in science,
Ampco Industries'..
The Rising Star.
I won my rent
on that sucker many a time.
Horse should be standin' stud.
We all should.
That's the little beauty you're
gonna be ridin' over in Vegas Friday.
He ain't gonna ride 'im. He's just
gonna sit on 'im up on a stage,
and he's gonna have little
rubber booties on his hooves.
Hey, Leroy.
You wanna sign this?
It's for that Watkins kid.
over in Fairview.
- Let's send him some luck.
- I don't think he's gonna need it.
You stayed on worse
Ain't no worse than Little
Venus. The hell there ain't!
Nameless was worse than Little
Venus, and he did eight on Nameless.
Nobody done Nameless since then.
I ain't on Nameless anymore!
And I got
no intention of bein'.
That was
a little compliment there.
Here's a ranch for sale
here in Baily, 450 acres.
I thought you should've got that place out
at Spanish Fork instead of that Malibu house.
Oh, Spanish F
- What's the matter with the Malibu house?
I don't remember your mindin' it so much. I
remember you was in the water half the time,
wearin'them flippers on your feet,
lookin'dumb, actin'like a damn penguin.
Hey, what's the matter
with you pickers?
You're not on the bacon and bean
circuit anymore. You got room service.
You're flyin' around
first class.
Got limousines,
ladies in the lobby.
Laundry comes up
You're livin'like
a bunch of fat oil barons.!
Livin'... better than
we got a right to.
Cowboys in the ocean
don't make no sense.
It beats goin' to work every night, havin'
a bull doin' a tap dance on your back.
Leroy, take them pants out and
get them pressed for tonight.
And it beats havin' your legs
braided for ya.
And it beats having a bull using your
head for some floor mat, don't it?
Aah!
Mama, don't let your babies
grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em
pick guitars
And drive
them ol' trucks
Make 'em be doctors
and lawyers and such
Mama, don't let your babies
grow up
To be cowboys
They'll never stay home
and they're always alone
Even with someone
they love
Should've been here a lot sooner
but we run into these havalinas.
Just hold on. Can I have
a coffee? Just a minute.
- There's no rush.
- There ain't?
C'mon, I want
to show you something.
Ladies and gentlemen,
tonight's half-time highlight,
the all-time great cowboy,
five-time all-around world champion,
Sonny Steele.!
Sonny Steele
appears tonight...
through the courtesy of Ranch Breakfast,
a division of Ampco Industries.
Well,
what in the hell?
That's not me. They
don't know the difference.
What's your name?
How come you're so cute?
It's good to see you.
Right this way.
What time's the press
conference? Got half an hour.
Hello, Hallie.
Now, if there's anything you need,
anything at all, just say the word.
We've got about half a dozen
movie people here.
Uh, Bud Broderick,
Joanna Camden just came in.
Rising Star is here. What are
you gonna do with the horse?
He's appearing onstage with Sonny Steele.
He's the cowboy we use in Ranch Breakfast.
Do you think
he's worth covering?
Well, there's better stuff
than that.
The cowboy's
a peach of a guy,
but that's just a lot
of"yups" and "shucks,"
and stufflike that.
He's no interview.
I'll see you downstairs.
Bernie!
So, they don't want us
to talk to the cowboy.
Where do you want to start?
I gotta get a sandwich.
What do you mean,
"where do I want to start?"
Excuse me, please.
Where the hell is he?
I don't know. He's probably
drunk in Barstow somewhere.
Uh, excuse me.
Could you tell me if Mr. Sonny
Steele has checked in yet?
No, ma'am.
He's not listed.
It's an interesting
watchband.
Thank you.
It's Indian.
May I see it?
Sure.
Oh, it's lovely.
Why does Ampco say absolutely
no interviews with Sonny Steele?
Who told you that? One
of the people at Ampco.
That don't really mean
anything, you know.
Sonny hasn't been himself lately.
They've been a little down on him here.
But he's okay.
He's just a cowboy.
Sometimes he loses
the best part of himself.
What is the best part
of himself?
- You'd have to know him a long time to know that.
