The first 175 lines.
Boss, you're gonna want to see this.
Shit.
I'm afraid you're right, Rip.
Foot-and-mouth.
It'll burn through your whole damn herd
if you don't act quick.
If this thing breaks bad...
I understand. I got it.
-Just what you asked for. -Wow.
The very best.
I got to go to Dallas.
I got that meeting at the Swexan.
Certified Black Angus.
You bought Bill Edwards's ranch?
I sure did.
Fucking Hoyt. We got into another fight
'cause he can't keep his dick in his pants.
Why date someone you hate so much?
Why don't you save me?
Oh, Everett, this place will be the death of us.
Well, we'll just greet it with a smile.
Well, I've missed you.
Yeah.
Listen, you're gonna want to come home.
Are you okay? Please don't lie to me.
I never have, honey, and I never will.
How does this happen?
It's got to be the new bull.
It ain't Reveille Farms, either. It's more than likely Mexico.

I don't want Carter to see this.
I'll get him up and get him out of here.
Zachariah, Azul, we got work to do.
You haven't had many girls in your bed, have you?
Haven't had many beds.
That's what I like about you.
You're the prettiest woman I've ever seen.
What?
You know, you're already gonna get laid again.
You don't got to flatter me.
You're bad at taking compliments.
I don't believe in 'em.
You should.
Carter...
Who's your friend?
Uh, does it really matter?
Look, uh, I don't mind what you do in your free time,
but right now, you should be getting your ass to school.
Don't you think that he's old enough to decide for himself?
I wasn't talking to you.
I'll-I'll drive you home.
No, you won't.
Where do you live?
10-Petal.
-Are you a Jackson? -Yes, ma'am.
Course you are.
Meet me outside in two minutes.
Trying out for NASCAR?
Guess that's a yes.
You still in school?
Hmm?
No... ma'am.
Thought not.
Today's not the day for this, but why him, why Carter?
He doesn't try to be something he's not.
I've never met a guy like that.
Most are cocksuckers.
-Is that right? -Mm-hmm.
Well, I don't know what type of guys you're used to, Oreana,
but that one has a pure heart.
If you fuck with it, I will make your life a living hell.
Beulah already beat you to it.
-I'm sure she did. -
She uses people, throws 'em out like trash.
Kicked my daddy to the curb. Won't let me move out.
Well, you don't strike me as the type of woman
who asks for permission.
It was nice to meet you.
Where'd you find her?
In bed with my son.
Oreana's like Texas weather.
Wait a day, she'll change, find a new plaything to torment.
Carter isn't someone to be played with.
My experience, boys that age enjoy being played with.
We got off on the wrong foot. Let me make it up with a drink.
I'll pass.
Rio Paloma's a small town, Beth.
- -
Sheriff Wade says you've been out making trouble again.
Do you get bored spying on me?
You're gonna do something, do it right.
You running around town like a feral animal
puts me in a difficult position.
It's also beneath you.
No more credit cards or Bronco until you behave.
How the hell am I supposed to get anywhere?
Your fucking lapdog?
Do not disrespect him.
I'll get him a leash.
You need a hand, sir?
I can ride, rope, fix fences.
Not today, son.
Oh, but you might want to mosey on inside.
Uh, Danny Ray, he knows every ranch within a hundred miles.
Will do. Thank you.
Uh, you Danny Ray?
-Yeah. What can I do for you? -I was wondering
if you knew any ranches in the area that need a hand?
Yeah, I know a few places always looking
for day-trashers with a horse.
I don't have a horse, but I can ride and rope.
Gonna be hard-pressed, then.
What's your day rate, chief?
Uh... whatever you're paying.
Not much, but I'll throw in victuals.
I'm not really sure what that is.
Grub.
I already ate.
Rule number one, two and three,
never turn down free food. Let's scoot.
Sir, I... I don't have a horse.
Chief, you're about to be the horse.
Come on. Giddyap.
Winter Garden Vet Clinic.
Hi, I'm calling about a bull I bought.
Yes, ma'am.
And I have some questions for Dr. Poole.
You mind holding while I grab him?
Not at all.
Good girl.
You'll be rid of me soon enough.
Dr. McKinney.
10-Petal has a pregnant mare about to foal.
10-Petal uses Doc Sturgess.
Apparently, he's on vacation.
Who's covering for him?
Don't know, but it seemed urgent.
Well, tell 'em I'm on my way, but not to make a habit of it.
Hello, who is this?
My name is Dutton. You did the presale examination
and blood work on a bull I bought
from a cattle broker named J.R. Simon.
I don't know a J.R. Simon. Who is this again?
Dutton.
D-U-T-T-O-N. Beth.
I'm sorry, ma'am. I've never heard of you or a J.R. Simon.
Y'all know where Rob-Will's at?
He don't work here no more.
Well, who's the foreman, then?
You're looking at him.
Where's the pregnant mare?
What pregnant mare?
The one that dragged my ass out here.
Sir, we ain't got no pregnant horses.
That right?
Right as rain.
You think you're awfully clever.
I am awfully clever.
Could've just asked me to come by.
But you wouldn't have, would you?
How about a whiskey?
I got a day ahead of me.
Oh, come on, Everett.
Take advantage of a good offer
while the two of us are still breathing.
Nothing from you's just a good offer.
Well, that ain't all true.
Just one drink, okay?
I'll set an alarm.
Just a splash.
All right.
Yeah. Alpine born and bred.
I'd still be there, too, except my mama
on her deathbed said, "Dwight,
you were meant to see this big ol' world."
