Rodeo and Juliet Page #3

---

Sorry, I'm late, Judge.

Are you serious?

Sir.

[sighs]

Thought you were gonna tell her.

I was smack dab in the middle

of it when you interrupted me.

What is going on, here?

Your, uh, father. He promised me

half the ranch for all the years

I put in helping

to keep it running.

[laughing] - Gave me a

warranty deed for my share.

He said there's no will!

Said I couldn't find one, yet.

Let me see that.

Uh-huh. Well, this.

This is different.

That's your daddy's signature,

all right.

[Hugh] Mhm.

Uh, unfortunately, Hugh, it's not

dated and it's not recorded.

But that's still

a federal document, right?

Maybe. I'm not sure.

- Karen.

- Mhm.

You hadn't had any interest in the ranch

or your father for the past twenty years,

and I'm certainly not the one that

just up and ran off and left everybody

- and everything behind.

- Oh, okay. Okay. I get it.

All right. That does not entitle you to

half the ranch. This is unacceptable!

It is my ranch!

I can sell it if I want to.

In instances like this, a claim can

be made based on other evidence.

Hugh has a strong case.

How can you do this to me?

Half is better

than nothing, Karen.

For you.

Y'all hang on.

Bottom line is this...

The ranch is in temporary limbo until a

district court can decide on the ownership.

It might take a month.

You can't sell nothing.

You can't do anything

until this mess is cleaned up.

Unless...

Unless y'all can come to terms.

It's not his ranch!

And it's not all yours either.

Guess that didn't go too well.

That woman.

She just announces that one day she's

gonna up and move to New York City.

Never mind her father. Never mind the

ranch. Never mind... anybody else.

But I tell you what.

She wants a fight?

She gon' get a fight.

Where's my darn keys?

- Look, why don't you just sit her down and talk to her?

- 'Cause she's stubborn, Monty!

She's stubborn. She's more

stubborn than her father was.

Well, people change their minds.

You don't know her.

[horse snorts]

Come on. It's just you and me.

Thing's heavy!

[grunts]

Okay.

It's a lot heavier

than expected!

[sighs] That horse.

I swear.

[phone beeping]

I need you to take me to town.

I am going crazy

with no one to talk to!

I have no service

and neither do you.

Okay, what is

going on in that barn?

- Are you being careful?

- Yes, mom!

I'm not a little girl anymore.

I think I can handle a barn.

I know. You know I've always

been pretty hard on you.

Yeah, like all the time.

You know what? Don't get too

close to that horse anyway,

because we're gonna be out

of here before you know it!

Yeah, that's, uh... that's the best

thing I've heard you say in weeks.

Maybe months.
