The Longest Ride Page #6

from North Carolina.

Talk about your scary moments.

The degree of difficulty here

is impossible to calculate.

The official buck-off time,

4.7 seconds.

Right now,

our medical staff is attending.

That's fine, right here.

No. It's fine, please. Thanks.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

I'll take the bag.

No, I got it.

Thank you.

Luke...

I'm really sorry.

I know how hard it must be

to give up that whole part of your life.

You're kidding, right?

Sophia...

You heard the doctors.

Doctors don't know everything.

Are you crazy?

I watched what happened to you

on YouTube.

You were in a coma for 10 days.

I told you, every time a rider

gets in that chute, he could die.

That's bullshit!

Your situation is different!

You have to quit!

- You have to!

- I can't!

I can't be with someone

if every time they walk out the door...

I don't know if I'm gonna

see them again!

Then that's your choice.

Yeah, I chose you!

I chose you over New York!

Over my internship.

I chose you over everything.

I didn't ask you to change your life.

You can't expect me to change mine.

This is what I do.

It's all I know.

This is my life.

I thought this was our life.

I can't watch you ruin it.

Hi.

- Right upstairs.

- Thanks.

How was...

How was New York?

I never made it.

And I broke up with Luke anyway.

I'm really sorry. Come here.

Come here.

How can I help?

Take my mind off of it.

What happened

after that fight over Daniel?

Are you sure you don't wanna talk about

you and Luke?

Yeah, I'm sure.

It's a scary thing.

How the people you're closest to...

can so quickly become...

strangers.

I can't do this anymore.

I'm going crazy.

I know it's not your fault.

I have to go.

- No, please don't!

- I just need to say something.

I need to say something.

I fell in love with you

the first time I saw you.

You're just the most amazing,

beautiful girl I ever met...

and somehow...

I don't know, somehow you chose me.

But how I loved you then...

it's nothing compared to

how I love you now.

Now, I love you

with everything inside of me.

I think you should go.

I love you so much,

I just want you to be happy.

Even if that happiness

no longer includes me.

Love requires sacrifice.

Always.

And from that day on, Sophia...

it wasn't exactly happily ever after,

but it was pretty close.

We focused on celebrating

all the wonderful things we had...

rather than regretting

the things we didn't.

Every anniversary,

we would drive to Black Mountain.

I still wrote Ruth letters...

even though I saw her every day.

Ruthie.

Ruth.

So many wonderful years.

But, of course, not nearly enough.

The paintings

Ruth and I had collected...

only served as a reminder

of what I had lost.

So I packed them away.

Can I help you?

My name is Andrea McDonald.

I believe you knew my husband...

Daniel McDonald?

He collapsed in his classroom

early one morning before school.

A brain aneurysm.

That was six years ago.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

Thank you.

He was a teacher?

A professor.

Physics and astronomy

at the University College London.

Astronomy.

I moved back to the States

a few years ago.

When I saw your wife's obituary

in the paper...

I knew I had to bring you this.

It meant a lot to him.

You did everything you could with Luke,

Sophia.

You sacrificed.

I have loved spending time with you.

You've made me very happy.

What are you doing up so late?

I won tonight.

Puts me fifth in the world.

Are you really gonna start on me now?

No.

The mistakes you make are your own.

Mistake? Jesus, Mom!

These risks you're taking...

I don't know why.

I'm just trying to keep this ranch

in the family.

For you.

For me?

Yeah.

This isn't about me.

Where are you gonna live?

If we don't have this place,

where are you gonna go?

Do you honestly think I give a damn?

You're doing this for yourself.

It's eight seconds.

That's all it is.

That girl could be the rest of your life.

Sophia Danko?

Yes. This is she.

My name is Howie Sanders.

I'm the attorney for Ira Levinson.

I've been trying to reach you.

What is it? Is he okay?

I'm sorry, Ms. Danko.

He passed away late last night.

Ms. Danko?

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Mr. Levinson's art collection

is being auctioned off next week.

This is a private auction,

and is by invitation only.

And Ira asked if you would attend.

Yeah, of course.

I know this is short notice.

But it's important to know...

he was very fond of you.

I was very fond of him, too.

I'll send all the information along.

It was nice to finally talk with you.

Thank you.

Tonight we're gonna be watching

the top bull riders in the world.

Aces.

This is the one and only PBR!

Time to meet your top 15 contenders!

Beingled out by the number-one-ranked

bull rider in the world...

from Oklahoma, Jared Middleton!

Boy, what a fight it has been...

between him

and the man from North Carolina...

Luke Collins!

It has been an epic battle

between those two...

for this title!

But don't count out men

atop that leaderboard!

We will now go atop the shark cage...

for our championship-round draft.

Ryan Dirteater, you will have Smackdown.

We will see you soon.

Now over to Billy Robinson,

the talent from Virginia.

Billy, let's find out

what bull you will face.

You are going to face Bushwacker!

Congratulations!

Now to the fan favorite

from North Carolina, Luke Collins!

Luke, your fate is in that cup.

It is time for you to reach in

and pull out your bull...

for this championship round.

Let's see what it will be.

Luke, you will have

the number-one contender...

for this year's

World Champion Bucking Bull...

Rango!

Okay, Nashville.

You know who I'm talking about.

With 99 consecutive buck-offs...

and staring down number 100...

this is the number-one-ranked

bucking bull in the world!

He is doing one of the most

difficult things in sports...

and that is mounting a comeback.

Yeah, but Luke Collins,

he is on PBR fire!

You got it! Keep riding!

Yeah!

We have just seen David slay Goliath!

Hey, Luke, you made the eight on Rango.

I knew you were a cowboy.

One hell of a ride, son, I tell you!

Luke, we gotta get together now

and talk some business.

Luke? Luke, where you going?

The Levinson artwork is the largest

and most valuable private collection.

Not only are these pieces sourced

from local Black Mountain College...

but the world.

We'll look at contemporary

modern artists...

such as Andy Warhol, Pat Passlof,

and Willem de Kooning.

These are amazing works of art...

and incredibly diverse,

as you already know.

Never been seen in one place

like this before.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen

for attending this remarkable auction.

If everyone could take their seats,

please.

I know we are all eager to get started.

Before we begin, a personal note.

Welcome. I'm Howard Sanders.

I was Ruth and Ira Levinson's attorney...

for more than 25 years.

Now, Ira's will is very detailed...
