who tries to shoot him.

and he's got lady friend

and all of his horses ...

- I think he's got it.

- It's really good.

I never get it.

It's cause of so much pain in his life, but he

watches it over and over

like he's studying it

looking for something.

we put it on and it sooth him.

does that sounds stupid?

Do you think that you can use it

to clean him? I mean.

it worth a try.

you know, though here

your father speakes just

sounds like he doesn't want to get better.

and every once in while someone comes around so ..

so heavy with spike that

there's not much we can do for him.

It isn't spike

It's regret.

He's not racist.

and I think those banditos can do

what I can't do myself

with some good bed rest

Rex, this is really serious,

but we're not gonna let this

get us down.

We're gonna brighten up and see
