Courage

AMY: Previously on "Heartland":
Grandpa, Dad, meet Jessica Cook.
Life isn't fair, but it's
the only we've got, right?
So live it.
I can stay, if if
that's what you need.
You know, what I need is for you
to grab every opportunity
that comes your way.
Just get out there and be amazing.
Grandpa, when will I
stop dreaming of Ty?
Amy, I can't promise that's gonna stop,
but what I can tell you is, pretty soon
those dreams and memories of
Ty won't haunt you anymore,
they'll bring you comfort.

(LOUD CRACK, BALL THUDS)
Oh!
(SHUTTER SNAPS REPEATEDLY)
Yeah! So I've been to
a couple weddings here.
It's, it's classy, not too pretentious.
- Pricy.
- I agree.
Besides, I've already decided to
have my reception at the Dude Ranch.
But that's where you wanted
to have your first wedding.
Yeah, but that never actually happened.
Okay, but you're keeping an open mind.
Yes. My mind is very open
to planning my dream wedding
and the reception I never
actually got to have.
- Right.
- Well, you deserve it, honey.
You know, you can have your
wedding at the Dude Ranch
- and not pay a cent in rent.
- I'm curious, Tim,
what your sudden interest
in wedding planning is?
Normally you would avoid
this like the plague.
It's true. You were unusually eager
to tour venues with us
today. What's the deal?
I'm just I'm trying to help.
Jessica.
- Tim.
Ah, ladies, thank you so
much for letting me tag along.
I got some really, really great shots.
- Good.
- There must be something
better to photograph
than polo. It's so boring.
(LAUGHS DRYLY)
Yeah, well, it's one
of my favourite sports,
- so I guess that makes me really boring.
- (LAUGHS)
Really?

(WARDROBE DOOR CLUNKS SHUT)
(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)
Sorry we're back so early,
but Lyndy didn't want ice cream
and she kept asking for you.
That's okay. Hi, sweetheart. Oh!
Thank you.
(HUGGING GRUNT)
Lately, she hasn't
wanted to leave my side.
- Ah.
- I love you.
You didn't want ice cream?
What little girl doesn't
want ice cream, huh?
You must not be my daughter.
- No.
- BOTH: (GIGGLE)
- (HOOVES CLOP)
- I'm not trying to diss polo.
It's just that rodeo
requires a certain level
of skill and grit. Polo's just showy.
- Rodeo isn't?
- Well
Rodeo's blood, sweat, and tears.
You know, that's about
as real as it gets.
You don't think all those
oversized belt buckles there
and the rodeo queens,
you don't find that
- a little bit showy?
- That's different.
I mean, there's some spectacle, sure,
but the people that go
to rodeos, they're the
they're the real deal, you know?
Salt of the earth.
Polo's just an excuse for
rich people to get together
and drink champagne.
See, I don't think you would say that
if you actually played,
'cause polo is a lot
harder than it looks.
Well
I know that it's hard to watch,
but it's probably
easier to play. (LAUGHS)
I think I'd pick it up pretty easily.
Jessica, do you have a moment?
(LAUGHS) Absolutely.
This is Roland, my very dear old friend,
and he was asking who
was taking the pictures,
so I thought I'd make
a quick introduction.
This is Jessica. She's from New York.
Nice to meet you. I'd really love
- to see your photos sometime.
- Yeah, of course.
I would love to show you my work.
Roland organizes all
the practice matches.
If anyone wants to join us,
we're short a player next weekend.
Well, it's funny you say that,
because Tim here was just telling me
that he's basically a
professional polo player.
- Uh
- I didn't say professional.
Now, Tim, don't be
modest. You should play.
- Uh
- I'd owe you big time.
Yeah, well, it's kinda last minute.
I'd hate to cancel. If you could
Unless the thought of
a friendly polo match
- makes you nervous.
- Not nervous.
Not nervous. I'm yeah,
okay, sure, I'll play.
Really? That's fantastic.
Yeah, I'll see you at the game.
- Match.
- The match.
LISA: Mm-hmm.


And at the break of day ♪
You sank into your dream ♪
You dreamer ♪
Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
You dreamer ♪
You dreamer ♪
Couldn't you just, at
least, teach me the basics?
Well, if you really wanna learn,
you'd be better off with a professional.
I can hook you up with one of
my contacts at the polo club.
- No, not a good idea.
- Why not?
Well, I might've left
the impression with some
of the polo club members that
I'm not a complete novice.
(LAUGHS) Okay, well,
if you're not willing
to talk to anyone at the polo club,
how're you gonna get
access to polo ponies?
- Just thought I'd use Champ.
- No, you can't use Champ.
These polo ponies are
specifically trained for this.
And besides, you're gonna
need at least three of them.
What? Why?
Well, you need to switch
horses after each chukker.
Um, a chukker, it's like
an inning or a period.
(LAUGHS) A chukker.
(LAUGHS)
You asked for the help.
(DRESS RUSTLES)
I love that dress on you.
You looked so beautiful
on your wedding day.
Oh, this isn't my old
dress. This is the new dress.
Oh! It is? Um
I just thought it took months
to order a wedding dress.
Uh, there was a sample sale.
I just sorta bought it on impulse.
You don't think it looks the
same as my old dress, do you?
No, of course not. I'm uh
I'm sure it'll look way
different when it's on.
Well, I've got a load of laundry to do.
Just let me know if you
wanna throw anything in.
- Okay.
- (RECEDING FOOTSTEPS THUD)
JACK: Polo?!
Tim? Are you sure?
I was there when he volunteered.
- Tim Fleming?
- Yes.
Tim's never played polo in his life.
I think he's trying to impress Jessica.
I'm not gonna go into too much detail,
but Lou and Amy witnessed a "moment"
down at the Dude Ranch.
- I think he's quite smitten.
- Ugh
Thanks to your wife, I
made a fool of myself today.
The one thing you're good
at doing all on your own
is making a fool of yourself.
I'm sure Lisa had nothing to do with it.
She's the one that introduced
Jessica to Ritchie Rich Roland
and now I gotta figure out a way
to get out of a polo game.
'Scuse me, match.
So you're not gonna play then?
Turns out polo's a lot more
complicated than I thought.
- You're chickening out.
- Self-preservation.
Aren't you the one who said to me,
"Jack, you're being a stick in the mud."
That's when I wanted to drop
out of that Hunt Club Ride.
That's different.
Yeah, it's different because it was me.
Now that it's your
turn to trade your chaps
for a pair of breeches,
you're chickening out.
No, I'm not.
Fine. You're right.
Why risk making an even
bigger fool of yourself,
especially in front of Jessica.
Dropping out is the right thing to do,
even if it is cowardly.
So do they look the same? Be honest.
Uh there are certain similarities,
but they're not exactly the same.
Are they similar because
they're both white dresses
or because they look identical?
Uh
Oh my God, Amy was right.
How could I have been so blind?
Well, it's okay. We can fix it.
There's plenty of time
to buy a new dress.
We could go to the
bridal store right now.
I'm sure they're still
having the sample sale.
Lisa, it's just like you said.
I've been planning
the exact same wedding
I wanted to have with Peter,
right down to the dress.
How sick and twisted is that?
Whatever has been done
can be easily undone.
We can still even book Hillhurst.
I make one phone call, it's done.
(SIGHS) Thank you for being
so calm about all of this.
I honestly I don't know
what I would do without you.
(INHALES SHARPLY)
- Anytime.
- (EXHALES, RELIEVED)
Good.
(LAUGHS)
(MONTY WHINNIES)
Well, she's a real chip off
the old block, isn't she?
Yeah, she loves riding Monty.
But I was actually just
thinking it might be time
for a more challenging horse.
You know, Stumpy's got
a real nice kid's pony,
and I know he'd let
Lyndy have it for a while
- 'cause it'd save him on feed.
- (LAUGHS)
Grandpa, we've got enough
horses around here, and
I think that Lyndy's ready for,
you know, a full-sized horse.
Yeah, which one did you have in mind?
I was thinking about Harley.
Well, that's a pretty
big jump from a miniature.
You sure she's up for it?
I was riding a full-sized
horse at her age.
Besides, Harley's totally bombproof
and he was her dad's.
I think it's perfect.
All right.
How about you hang out with Grandpa,
(GRUNT OF EFFORT)
and I will go get Harley tacked up.
Come on up here, you. (GRUNTS) Okay.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
Right? Look at those,
right? Isn't that great?
ROLAND: These are fantastic.
TIM: Can I get a coffee, please?
- You're an artist.
- I don't know about that.
Uh, hey, Tim.
- Hey.
- You remember Roland?
Sure.
I'm just showing him some of my photos.
Yeah, too bad you can't
make it this weekend.
Uh, it was turning out
to be a heck of a match.
Yeah, well, I just,
I couldn't get out of that commitment.
But maybe next time.
- Yeah, next time for sure.
- (LAUGHS)
Yeah. Well, I should be going.
I'll leave you guys to
your your meeting.
- Good to see you.
- Good seeing you, Tim.
See you, Tim.
- Okay, so this one
- This one I love.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
I dunno, I think the
light's kinda weird.
It's perfect. It's ethereal.
Yeah, okay, maybe. 'Kay,
what about this one? (LAUGHS)
(HARLEY'S HOOVES CLOP)
Lyndy was just saying
she's a little hungry.
I'm gonna take her in for a snack.
What, right now?
Well, she seems done
with riding for the day,
and and we don't wanna push her.
Well, this won't take long.
Lyndy, Honey, um, how
about we ride Harley
and then we can have a snack after?
Well, I've already promised her a treat
and I don't wanna go
back on my word, so.
- Let's go, honey.
- Grandpa, what're you doing?
We can try with Harley on another day.
There's no reason to rush into anything.
That's a big horse for her,
and she's got all the time in the world.
(BIRDS CHIRP)
(DOOR OPENS)
In my humble opinion, this dress,
much better than the other.
It's chic and simple,
and you're going to look stunning.
- Yeah, it's great.
- (CELL PHONE RINGS)
It's really nice.
Oh! Hi, sweetheart.
No, that's no problem at all.
Okay, I look forward to seeing you,
both of you.
Okay, I love you, too. Bye.
- Georgie?
- (PHONE BEEPS OFF) Yeah,
She and Quinn are flying in tonight.
- Tonight?
- Yeah, I guess Quinn had
a business meeting here next week,
but he had to pull
it up for some reason,
and Georgie decided to join him.
- Well, that's good news.
- Yeah, yeah, it's great, but
It's a little odd, don't you think?
I mean, it's just so last minute.
I dunno, I guess it's odd, but
I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
I'm sure it's nothing.

- (MUG THUNKS ON TABLE)
- Amy.
(FOOTSTEPS THUNK ON STAIRS)
(BIRDS CHIRP)
Listen, uh
(SWALLOWING HARD)
I know it wasn't my place.
But throwing Lyndy into
the deep end like that,
I couldn't do it.
Do you really think I would
put my daughter on Harley
if she wasn't ready?
No, I know you wouldn't,
- but she's four years old.
- Exactly.
Just about the same age
I was when my dad left.
Mom never coddled me.
She taught me how to
stand on my own two feet.
But what does that have
to do with riding Harley?
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
Ty was an amazing father,
you and I both know that,
but it's also no secret
he bubble-wrapped her.
(CHUCKLES)
He worried about Lyndy so much
that he built her a
treehouse on the ground.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
(SIGHS) Look, I loved
the way he doted on her,
but it's my job as her mother
to help her stand on her own two feet,
just the way my mom did with me.
Well, she's adjusting fairly
well, all things considered.
Maybe,
but lately, she won't leave my side.
She won't sleep through
the night in her own bed.
Grandpa, I am not gonna
let her do anything
that she's not ready
for, I promise you that.
But she's strong.
She's so much stronger than she looks.
Oh, of course she is.
She gets that from the
Bartlett side of the family.
BOTH: (CHUCKLING)
(SIGHS)

Now, I know that you have
been sleeping in my bed
the last couple of nights, but tonight,
you're gonna sleep the
whole night in your bed.
Can you do that for me?
Okay. I love you, sweetheart.
See you in the morning. (KISS)
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
(LIGHT CLICKS OFF, DOOR CREAKS SHUT)
(DOOR CLICKS OPEN)
- (FOOTSTEPS THUD LIGHTLY)
- (GASPS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
- (SOFTLY) Hey!
- Hey!
- Hey!
- Mom!
- I missed you.
Oh, I missed you too.
- I'm sorry it's so late.
- It's okay.
I'm just so happy you're
here. Come here, Quinn.
Hey. I hope we didn't keep you up.
Not at all. So everyone else is asleep,
but they're really excited to
see you both in the morning.
Uh, the barn loft and
the attic are both free,
so you two can decide who sleeps where.
Well, maybe I'll take the attic,
- if you're okay with the loft.
- Yeah, of course.
Okay. Yeah, that way I can
see everyone in the morning.
- Yes.
- I'll see you two tomorrow morning.
- 'Kay, good night.
- Good night. - Night.
'Kay, let me help you with
your bags. What do you have?
Oh, well, this is it. That's all I got.
- What about this one?
- Oh. That's Quinn's.
- Okay, you run upstairs. I'll bring it out to him.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay. Okay, thanks.
(FOOTSTEPS THUD UPSTAIRS)
(DOOR OPENS)
(BAG RUSTLES, ZIPPER ZIPS)
- Looking for this?
- (RELIEVED SIGH) Yes.
Sorry, I must be more
tired than I thought.
- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
- See you tomorrow.
- 'Kay, good night.
- Good night.
(WARDROBE CLUNKS SHUT)
(EMPTY BOX RUSTLES)
(BOX THUDS ON FLOOR)
(KNOCK AT THE DOOR)
- Come in.
- (DOOR CLICKS OPEN)
- Oh, good, you're still awake.
- (DOOR CREAKS SHUT)
Quinn and Georgie just arrived,
and you are never gonna
guess what I just saw.
- What?
- Quinn has a ring box in his bag.
Okay. So?
So? Why would he have a ring box?
I don't know.
(SIGHS) Okay, what if
and this might sound crazy,
what if he's planning on
asking Georgie to marry him?
You're right, Lou.
That does sound crazy.
- They're both way too young.
- I know!
But can you think of
any other explanation?
Uh, yeah, I can think of like a hundred.
- Maybe I should call Peter.
- No, that's a terrible idea.
What am I supposed to do?
Just pretend I didn't see the ring box?
Yeah, I think so. I think
you should go to bed,
and hopefully, in the morning,
you'll realize this is all in your head.
(SIGHS) Fine. Fine.
But I don't know how
I'm gonna get any sleep.
(DOOR CREAKS OPEN)
(SNORTS SOFTLY)
(BIRDS CHIRP)
(ROOSTER CROWS)
(SIGHS SLEEPILY)
Hey you
I thought you were supposed
to sleep in your own bed.
- (GIGGLES)
- (GIGGLES)
(LYNDY'S PAJAMA TOP RUSTLES)
Georgie, so I've booked us pedicures
and lunch at that Thai place you like.
Oh, thanks. You didn't have to do that.
Are you kidding me?
I'm so excited to have you
to myself for an entire day.
Oh, and you're okay with Katie?
I got her, yup. You two have fun.
Okay, well, I'm gonna
go get changed then.
I have to run too. I
got a meeting in Hudson.
- Have fun at the spa.
- Thanks.
Hey. Hey!
Make sure you are back in
time for dinner tonight,
'cause I'm making my
famous Jack Bartlett Chili.
Don't wanna miss that, trust me.
Oh, actually, there's um
something that I want to talk
to everybody about tonight.
Something important.
- Okay. We'll see you later.
- All right. See you then.
- (WHISPERS) I knew it.
- It could mean anything.
Yeah, or it could mean
exactly what I think it means.
What're you two whispering about?
- BOTH: Nothing.
- (CHEWING) Mm-hmm.
(TRUCK RUMBLES AS IT IDLES)
(APPROACHING VEHICLE RUMBLES TO A HALT)
Is all this secrecy
really necessary, Tim?
Yeah. Did you make
arrangements with your friend?
He said we could use his polo ponies.
He got a private place to practice?
His own private arena.
No one's gonna see us.
- Good.
- Just follow me,
- it's right down the road.
- (SUV RUMBLES AWAY)
(WINDOW ROLLS UP)
Where's Monty?
We're gonna ride Harley today.
No. That's Daddy's horse.
Well, Harley was Daddy's horse,
but now he needs
someone else to ride him.
He will ride Harley when he gets back.
Well, maybe you could try
just sitting in the saddle.
It's okay, Grandpa.
Hey, Lyndy?
Yeah?
Daddy's not coming back.
And I wish he was,
but he's not.
And I know that makes you sad.
It makes me sad, too.
And I think maybe Harley's sad as well,
because Daddy can't ride him anymore.
But maybe, maybe if you ride Harley,
that will cheer him up.
It might make you feel better, too.
Do you wanna ride him?
Okay.
Maybe another day.
(SNOW PATTERS LIGHTLY)
- (HARD WHACK)
- Don't swing so hard.
Stop rushing.
(HARD WHACK, BALL THUDS)
Hey, there you go. Better.
Now you gotta sit a little
forward on your saddle,
and remember, you gotta lean to
the side that you're swinging.
Yeah, is this wooden horse necessary?
- I know how to ride a horse.
- Oh yeah, you can ride Western,
but this is a completely different deal.
All right? We've gotta
change old habits;
- that's why we're here.
- Give me a ball.
Try again. You got this.
- (MALLETS CLACK)
- (HARD WHACK, BALL THUDS)
Hey! Good! Did you feel that though?
You're gripping your
mallet a bit too tight.
'Kay, it's a nice fluid
motion, like a pendulum.
Loosen up.
Go again.
- (MALLET WHOOSHES)
- Ungh!
I can't get comfortable.
It's not supposed to be comfortable.
The idea is supposed to be mobile.
Think of it like surfing.
Like surfing? What ? Nice analogy.
If you're gonna get
through an entire match
without falling flat on your face,
take this a bit more seriously, Tim.
Stop messing around. Do
it the way I taught you.
- (LAUGHS) Wow.
- Sorry. That too harsh?
No, I like it. If I wasn't
like that with my students,
they wouldn't learn anything.
Okay, let's keep going.
(HOOVES THUD)
All right, let's try
it with some contact.
Get out of my way!
Push push against me.
(HARD WHACK, BALL THUDS)
Not bad.
Nice work. Let's go again.
(POLO PONY GRUNTS, HOOVES THUD)
(DOOR CREAKS)
- Hey.
- Hey
- you're back.
- Yeah.
I was just looking for Remi.
- She's out on the porch.
- Oh, okay. Thanks.
(BIRDS CHIRP)
QUINN: This is hands down
the best chili I've ever had.
Yeah, I know, but it
is kind of you to say.
Is that cumin that I'm tasting?
You know what? It's a secret recipe.
There's a jar involved,
and it's a whole thing.
Grandpa can tell you all about it later.
But, um, more importantly,
wasn't there something you
wanted to tell everyone about?
Oh, yeah, right.
I kinda wish Peter was here for this,
but now is a good a
time as any, I guess.
I know that it's been
hard for all of you
not having Georgie at home as much,
and I really appreciate the
sacrifice you guys are making
so she can pursue her dream.
That's why I got some pretty
exciting news to share
- Quinn, I don't
- Oh, I'm not gonna jinx it,
I promise. Please, can I tell them?
- I yeah, sure.
- Okay, yeah? All right.
Okay.
Georgie has been
performing extremely well
on the circuit in
Florida. So well, in fact,
that she's within inches
away from securing her spot
in the North American
Youth Championship.
It's not for sure. I'm
just, I'm on their radar.
They're considering me.
Oh, they're more than
just considering
Georgie's gonna play this down,
but the North American
Youth Championship
is an extremely high
level of competition.
She'd be competing
against future Olympians.
And if she does well, I mean
she could be a future Olympian.
(SHOCKED LAUGH) Wow! Well done, Georgie!
That's incredible news, Honey!
That's amazing! Congratulations.
- Thanks.
- Isn't that amazing, Lou?
It Yes, of course! I'm, I'm thrilled.
I think a toast is in order.
- ALL: Yup! Yes!
- To big dreams
- and to Georgie.
- (GIGGLES)
- ALL: To Georgie!
- (GLASSES CLINK)
- Good girl.
- (GLASSES CLINK)
Cheers!
(WHISPERING) See? I told you.
You were totally off base.
No. That announcement
did not explain the ring.
Thanks so much for dinner,
guys. That was really good.
- Yeah! Have a good night, Quinn!
- Thanks, yeah, I'll see you tomorrow!
- Bright and early.
- (PLATE CLUNKS ON COUNTER)
Bright and early?
Oh, Quinn and I are having
breakfast in the morning.
- I thought you had your business meeting in the morning?
- Uh, yeah.
I shuffled some things
around, so that
we could do breakfast.
So your business here is
obviously very important,
but not so important that
you can't take time off
to have breakfast with my dad?
Cool your jets, Lou.
I I asked him to move
his business meeting.
And why is that?
Because, uh, he's
teaching me to play polo,
and we've been practicing
at his friend's all day.
You've got to be kidding me.
I needed someone who would be discreet,
'cause it's a small town.
Wait. Am I'm missing something?
Why do you need discreet polo lessons?
Because Tim is participating in a
practice polo match this weekend.
I thought you dropped out.
- I dropped back in.
- But you hate polo.
I have a new respect for it.
It's also Jessica's favourite sport.
Ah, now I understand.
- Who's Jessica?
- I'll explain it to you later.
Quinn, I think Tim has taken
advantage of your kindness.
No, I was in town for
a business trip anyways,
and, uh, it turns out
- that Tim's a pretty decent polo player.
- Gah! No, he is not!
Well, this I would really like to see.
- Me too. When's the match?
- It doesn't matter.
It's tomorrow, isn't it?
I think we should all make
a day out of it, don't you?
Oh, very excited. I
love a good polo match.
It's a practice,
so there are no
spectators at a practice.
- Well, there's gonna be now.
- That's not true.
ALL: (LAUGHING)
- (GASPS)
- Let me guess,
looking for Remi?
No. Actually, I was looking for you
to ask what time we're going
to Grandpa's polo match?
In about an hour.
- Okay. Thanks.

JESSICA: Tim, you're here. I
didn't think you were coming.
Yeah, I changed my mind.
I didn't realize you were playing.
Yeah, well, Roland had a teammate
that backed out last
minute, so I took her place.
(CHUCKLES) Great.
I'll see you out there.
Yeah. I'll see you out there.
PLAYER: Get a little bit of
a warm-up on the horses, guys.
- Do you see Tim?
- Yeah, there he is.
Looks like your fan club's arrived.
- Hey, Dad! Looking good!
- Hey!
What?

So now the other team
gets a penalty shot.
Okay. That's, that's all right.

You know, he's doing all
right, all things considered.
Well, he sure is entertaining
me, I'll tell you that.
- Oh yeah
- (SIGHS)
- Thank you.
- Good job, Tim! (CLAPPING)
- Doing great!
- (WHISTLE BLOWS)
Hey.
- Great news about Georgie.
Oh, yeah. I'm really proud of her.
Mm-hmm. And the best part is,
the two of you have your entire
lives ahead of you, you know?
You can just take your time.
No need to rush into anything,
you know what I'm saying?
(HORSES WHINNY IN THE ARENA)
- No, I have no idea.
- I would just hate to see
the two of you make a
decision about the future
that you might regret later.
You know, you're very young.
Georgie especially is very, very young.
I think I know what you're getting at.
- You do?
- Yeah.
- You think it's too soon.
- Way too soon.
You know, I used to
worry about that too,
but these past few weeks
I've realized that
she's never been more ready.
She is 19-years-old, Quinn.
I know. You're right, she's young,
and it is a huge commitment.
Huge. Massive. Life changing really.
- Right. But
- (WHISTLE BLOWS)
we've talked it over and
I promise you, it's what she wants.
- It is?
- I've never met somebody
who's so focused and determined
to going after her dreams.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
Uh what dream exactly
are you talking about?
The Youth Championship.
What what are you talking about?
Uh, same. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we're talking
about the same thing.
We are completely simpatico.
You know, I'm glad we
could hash this out.
(KNOCKS ON TABLE) Good chat.
(SIGHS)
(LYNDY AND AMY GIGGLE)
- Look, he licked my coat.
- He did lick you. I think he likes you.
I think he does like licking.
Maybe this horse will
give you a kiss. Hi!
There you are. We
wondered where you went.
Lyndy wanted to see the horses.
- How's the match going?
- Not too great for Tim's team.
May be better in the second half.
You know what I saw? (WHISPERS) A puppy.
- (GASPS) You go see the puppy.
- I wanna show you.
I'll bring her back.
Come here, come here.
Let's see, where'd it go?
Listen, Amy, I
wanted to tell you that,
the way you handled Lyndy yesterday,
- I admired that.
- (HORSE GRUNTS)
You shouldn't. I'm such a fraud.
Why would you say that?
I've been trying to donate Ty's clothes,
and I haven't been able
to go through with it.
Well, I don't see how
that makes you a fraud.
Well, how can I expect my
daughter to be so strong
when I'm obviously not?
There's no timeline on
what you're going through.
You'll donate Ty's things
when you're good and ready.
What if I'm never ready?
You will be.
Just like Lyndy will ride Harley
and sleep through the
night in her own bed,
when she's good and ready.
Every moment
that I witness between
you and your daughter
is an act of
profound strength,
and I couldn't be more proud of you.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
(HOOVES THUD, POLO PONY SNORTS)
Hey, Tim, I'm glad you were
able to make it out today.
I'm just sorry you're
having a bit of a rough go.
Yeah, well, I'm just getting warmed up.
Well, best of luck in the second half.

(VICTORIOUS LAUGH) Woo!
It's those fluid motions.
Woo! (LAUGHS)
- Good effort, Tim.
- Pleasure.
- Tim!
- Really nice.
Sorry.
Hey.
You were great out there.
- I was terrible.
- (LAUGHS)
Yeah, turns out polo is a
lot tougher than it looks.
Well, I could've told you
that. I think I did, actually.
Yeah, well, I should've listened.
You know, I always
thought I was a good rider
'til I got on a polo saddle.
And you and Roland make
hitting the ball look so easy.
Your team, you you deserved to win.
All right, well, we're
sharing the champagne
with everyone, so come on.
- Ah, I can't.
- Tim, come on,
it's a fun match. Don't be a sore loser.
I mean I can't drink.
I I don't drink.
I'm a recovering addict.
And also, it's, it's just not my scene.
My life could not be further from polo
and champagne celebrations.
Why are you telling me this?
'Cause I like you.
Why do you think I came out today?
But instead of trying
to prove something,
I should've just put
my cards on the table.
ROLAND: Jessica!
Hurry up! We're about
to open the good stuff!
Yeah, I'm coming. I'll be right there.
- (CORK POPS)
- Yeah I should go.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(DOOR BANGS SHUT)
(FOOTSTEPS CRUNCH IN THE SNOW)
(CLEARS HER THROAT) So
you gonna tell me what
happened to my dress,
or do I have to drag it out of you?
I'm really sorry.
I'll pay for the dry
cleaning out of my allowance.
Is this because you don't want
Mitch and I to get married?
No. Why does everyone
keep asking me that?
I didn't mean to do it.
It just happened while
I was trying it on.
It would not have gotten that dirty
if all you did was try it on.
Okay, fine.
I've always wanted to wear
a long flowing dress
while riding a horse.
Like Arwen in "Lord of the Rings."
You went riding in my wedding dress?!
(BURSTS OUT LAUGHING)
This is not funny.
Does this mean I'm not grounded?
(LAUGHING)
Come on. (LAUGHING)
You're crazy, you know that?
- It was a lot of fun though.
- (LAUGHING HARDER)
- Did you feel like Arwen?
- Yeah.
(LAUGHING)
- Thank you.
- TIM: You guys decent?
Oh, uh, yeah.
(FOOTSTEPS THUMP ON STAIRS)
I wondered if I could
have a word with our coach.
Okay, yeah, absolutely.
I'm sorry, I couldn't
be at the match today.
I had an online course I couldn't miss.
Oh, you didn't miss a thing. Trust me.
(LAUGHS) Okay. I'm gonna
head to the house then.
- 'Kay.
- Night.
- Night!
- (FOOTSTEPS THUMP ON STAIRS)
I just wanted to thank
you for everything today.
You know, if it wasn't your help,
I would've made a complete
fool of myself out there.
(LAUGHS) You did well.
Hey, a few more lessons,
you'll be a real pro.
No, I don't think so. I think
I'll be hanging up my mallet.
But I also appreciate you moving
that business meeting of yours
so that you could teach
me a couple lessons.
Don't mention it. I had a fun time.
Okay, well, if I don't see you tomorrow,
- have a safe trip.
- Thanks.
You know, you and I
both know that Georgie's
a pretty incredible
rider all on her own,
but having a coach
like you in her corner,
it doesn't surprise me
that she's doing so well.
Take care.

And I thought that maybe tonight,
we could leave it right here with you.
Does that sound okay?
Okay.
(JACKET THUMPS LIGHTLY, LIGHT PAT)
Now, I want you to close your eyes
and try to get some sleep, okay?
- Okay.

Thanks. I'll I'll be right down.
Okay.
(SIGHS HEAVILY) You know, actually,
there was one more thing I was
hoping to talk to you about.
Um, (CLEARS THROAT)
it's, it's kind of embarrassing,
but the first night you were here,
I, I couldn't help but notice
Well, I saw inside your
bag there was a ring box.
Oh! Yeah, it
- you mean this?
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
- Yeah.
- (BOX CLICKS OPEN)
Oh cufflinks.
Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
Oh, what did you think it was?
Um, you know what?
It's not important.
Oh, you, you didn't think that I was
I'm just gonna go ahead
and get outta your hair,
let you finish packing.
Better hurry up. You don't
wanna miss your flight.
Okay, yeah. Thank you.
(HARD EXHALE) Whoa.
(FIRE CRACKLES)
(TRUCK DOOR BANGS SHUT, BIRDS CHIRP)
Hi.
Thanks for coming.
So I guess it's time for me
to put my cards on the table, right?
The truth is, I really like you, too.
(LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY)
I've been a nomad for
months now, and I love it.
It's a freedom that I have
never experienced before.
You know, I'm living
my life one day at time.
You know, today, I'm in Hudson.
Tomorrow, who knows where?
So
I just, I don't wanna make you
a promise that I can't keep.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I wasn't looking for promises,
I was looking for an hour
for coffee.
Well, a coffee date sounds nice.
What're you doing right now?
Think you can find a couple mugs?
Yeah, I think I can do that.
I got a tin pot and some
coffee beans in my truck.
I can make you a cowboy coffee
over that fire you'll never forget.
Best cup of Joe, guaranteed.
Now this, I gotta try.
All right, let's do it.

Lou, I, I I can't believe
Katie pulled this stunt.
You must be furious.
I know I probably
should be, but (SIGHS)
the truth is, Lisa, I was never
that crazy about this dress.
- Oh.
- Or the one before it. Or
the venue we picked. I just
(SIGHS) I'm sorry, I don't
know what's wrong with me.
(INHALES DEEPLY)
(SIGHS) Honey,
when I married your grandfather,
it was the definition
of a low-key event,
but it was perfect for me.
It didn't matter what I was wearing
or the location,
it's how I felt.
I hope you can find
your way to that feeling
on your wedding day. It
doesn't matter how you do it.
(SIGHS) I hope so too.
