The Longest Ride Page #2

I can't believe you made dinner for me.

Well, Amy made dinner.

- Who is Amy?

- Smokin' Amy's.

Best barbecue in North Carolina.

I kind of got into that

and classical, which is so strange.

I know. It's weird. It's totally like...

How did a girl from Rutherford, New Jersey

end up in the middle of North Carolina?

Yeah, something like that.

I ended up getting a scholarship

down here, so I couldn't pass it up.

Scholarship? Pretty fancy.

I kind of knew that

tips from my dad's diner...

weren't really going to cut it.

I just...

I love art.

I love everything about it.

I love studying it.

I love the culture that it brings...

and the whole human experience...

just all wrapped up into one.

Anger, sadness...

love, passion, acceptance...

history.

Never mind. I don't know.

What about you?

Tell me about you. What's your story?

No, mine's...

Mine's pretty simple.

Just keep winning events.

Make it to the top 35.

Go to Vegas. Make it to the finals.

I got some making up to do.

I got hurt last year.

What do you mean you got hurt?

All bull riders get hurt.

It's not "if."

It's "when."

And how bad.

How bad was yours? Serious?

I've got a few more years to ride...

before I'm just a washed-up bull rider.

I'm going to be the best.

- It's just all about winning?

- No, it's not all about winning.

Well, not entirely.

I've got a family ranch.

It's been a tough couple years.

My mom is kind of all on her own.

I just gotta keep making money.

Are you cold? You're cold.

A little.

Where are you going?

What do they call this nail polish color?

This would be "clear."

- Clear.

- Yeah.

Right. Clear. That makes sense.

It's good.

You are pretty smooth for a country boy.

Me?

Yeah, you.

Come on,

I saw the way those girls stared at you.

You think I'm that type of guy?

No.

No one has ever

done anything like this for me before.

So, do you like North Carolina?

Yeah, I do.

- It's beautiful.

- Yeah.

I'm actually moving to New York

at the end of next month.

I got this job.

Well, it's an internship, actually.

But it's a pretty big deal.

It's at a gallery in Manhattan.

Okay.

That's why it took me so long

to call you back.

I just didn't think

that this would even be a good idea.

I'm glad you did.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

This is just bad timing.

Yeah.

I probably should take you home.

Gonna rain.

Did you see that?

What?

Luke!

What is it?

Call 911!

Hey! Wake up!

Is he alive?

Here, hold this.

Box.

Box.

What did he say? "Box"?

I think you just saved that guy's life.

We both did.

Come on, I held the flashlight.

You were amazing.

I just hope that he's okay.

I'll take you home.

I think I'm going to stay.
