of penicillin.

-Okay.

-Make him feel

real good later.

-Hey.

-Hi, liar.

Dr. Fremont, Ely Braxton.

He's a liar.

He's also dumb enough

to ride a bull

with half his skull missing.

-Maybe I should step...

-No. It's okay.

You should go. We're busy.

I'm sorry. I'll be right back.

Ely, I'm serious!

If you lie like that,

where does it stop?

Come on. Don't make this

such a big deal.

I haven't done anything.

You lied to me.

After everything we've been

through this year, you can't

give me the real you.

I'm still trying to find

my way back.

-I swear I didn't see

it coming.

-Don't do that.

I didn't know.

Do you want me to lie

to you to make you think that

I'm telling the truth?

It's so scary.

I'm standing here with you

in front of me

and I don't even know

who you are.

If you don't, nobody does.

Including me.

That's a terrible

thing to say.

I'm sorry.

MAN:
(ON TV)

In the late '70s,

the Mitchell technique made

its first appearance

on the circuit

with Reid Braxton

leading the way.

While the technique involved

a pronounced shift forward

in the riding position,

it was best known

for its credo, "Cowboy up."

An all-strength,

take-no-prisoners attitude

which is being demonstrated

by Reid Braxton here.

(ELY GRUNTING)

Thanks, Mom.

You gotta talk to him.

-Talk to who?

-Ely. He's out there packing.

Somebody's got to talk

some sense into him.

Mom, Ely and I get along

because I never daddied him,

I'm not about to start now.

He's healed up fine.

I promise you, I'll take care

of him, okay?

Stop worrying.

-Where do you want these?

-Over there is fine.

Thanks.

Well, the good news is,

I'm done worrying about you,

Ely.

But if you get hurt,

you don't come back here

again.

You understand?

Socks go in the other drawer.

Go. Go see him.

You're a grown man. Do it.

No, thanks.

I'm sure Hank has the address

up there somewhere.

This has nothing

to do with Dad.

You're not him, Ely!

You're you!

God bless you for that.

Bye.

Bye.

(LINE RINGING)

This is Connie.

I'm not in right now.

Leave me a message, or

you can try me at the clinic.

-No Connie?

-Nope.

-Check the clinic?

-No. She's probably busy.

Yeah, she's probably

with that doctor, getting rug

burns on her ass.

What are you looking for?

Oh, there's this girl I know.

She ain't there.

-Is this her rig?

-It's pretty nice, isn't it?

It's real nice.

I want you to meet someone.

Come on.

Hey, Celia.

-How you doing?

-Good.

You doing an exhibition

or something?

I am selling barbecue sauce.

There's someone

I want you to meet.

-My brother, Ely.

-Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

You're the one

that hurt your head.
