A Horse Tale Page #3

Then I'll help you.

You failed algebra. Twice!

But I got an

"A" in economics.

Uh, yeah, that's because

Ray Ellis was in love with

you and helped you cheat.

Look, I know that you

don't want to hear this,

but we need help.

Come on, Syd, did you

see the car that

he drove up in?

You can't be any more

city than that.

You can't trust

a man like that.

He's Nikki's boss.

She raved about him.

Maybe you should give

him a chance.

Besides,

he's kind of cute.

Okay, the fact that the man

is hot has nothing to do

with whether we can trust

him with our farm or not.

Oh! He's hot?

Yeah, he's hot.

The accountant

is hot?

I didn't know

you cared.

Never trust a man,

wing-tip-high

in horse manure.

She means horse poop,

on your shoes.

Welcome to the country,

city boy.

Thanks.

Hi.

Your father asked me

to come and ask you to

take a look at the books.

Well, it's fine.

But just so you know, I still

think that your being here is

a complete waste of time.

Yeah, you know,

I kind of gathered that.

But why don't you just allow

me to do what I came here to do,

which is simply to help you.

Is there where

I'm going to be?

No.

Let me show you where

you're going to be.

Great.

Okay.

This is where

you will be.

This is your office.

You've gotta be

kidding me.

Uh-uh.

Uh... I pulled everything,

so you should have

all the financials here.

Good to go?

Really?

You know, I'm not so sure that

I'm cut out for this kind of...

accounting.

Well, at least somebody

agrees with me.

How many cattle

do you have?

And what's your expected

rate of return per head?

Okay, we don't have cattle.

This is a horse farm.

How do you make

money off horses?

What?

Hey, Sam!

-Sorry to interrupt.

Mr. Parker just showed up.

-Hey!

He said he needs to talk

to you. Seemed urgent.

Oh, okay.

Thanks, Ben.

Um, you... don't move!

I'll be right back.

Hey, I'm Ben.

Sydney's husband.

-Sydney?

-Sam's sister,

little less cranky.

Oh, right. Yeah!

Michael Thompson.

I'm your new CPA.

Well, I, for one,

am glad you're here.

Wow! That makes one of you.

Sam, she's just

a little stubborn.

Give her some time.

She didn't like me

back when I married

Sydney either.

Worried about losing

her sister and all.

We're good as

gravy now though.

How long did that take?

Ah, you know...

Five years.

Mmm.

Anyways, I gotta get

out to the runs. We'll

be seeing you around?

Yeah. Hey,

nice to meet you.

Go take care of those...

runs.

She's taller

than I thought.

What? You've never

seen a horse before?

Well, only the ones

in the parades.

There's always that guy

who's, like, following behind

and picking up the horse crap.
