Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story Page #6

shoveling horse squat for sheiks?

Or will you get back in the game?

I know what's going on here

with you and Cale.

It's in her blood, Ben.

Cale's a beautiful kid.

Stop filling her head

with horse stories.

Horse stories are all I got.

Keep them to yourself.

I'll pay you back when the foal sells.

Any chance you'll keep the foal?

Race him or her?

No, we're going to sell the foal

but still have Sonador.

Sonador?

Yeah. It's her full name. Sonador.

Sonador.

I think it's Spanish.

Spanish for "dreamer."

Good night, Dreamer.

- OK, I got it.

- I'm going to Pop's.

Lil, how many days they give you

down at the diner?

I got Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

But I could take more.

Palmer called around. Shut me out

everywhere. I can't find any work.

I'll have to take down the sign.

The real estate sign?

It's all been sold. Only land we got

left to sell, we're sitting on.

Here's the first letter of foreclosure.

- Morning.

- Hello, Cale.

- Hey, Doc.

- Balon. Manny.

Sonya will make us

some money, huh?

This horse will make

a special baby, huh?

- Is Ben around?

- I'm right here.

All right. Just got off the phone

with Bill. We're back on.

Going to breed her to Grand Slam.

Ben, I've completed my tests

and I've got some bad news for you.

What?

She's infertile.

She won't have a baby now?

No, honey,

she's never going to have babies.

I'm sorry, guys.

I'm sorry, Sonya.

It's OK.

It's almost dawn.

You've been up all night.

What was I thinking, Lil?

Trying to breed that horse?

Cale loves that horse.

That's good, because that little filly

just ruined us.

That little filly is the best thing

that's ever happened around here.

Come on, Lil.

Since she's been in that barn,

we have a family.

For the first time in years.

I'll work seven days a week at the diner

if it means you'll spend time with Cale.

Can't you just see how much

she wants to be with you?

And I know that your dad

disappointed you,

but that does not mean

that you have to disappoint her.

- It's nothing to do with my father.

- It's everything to do with him.

You're wrong. The truth is if Cale

hadn't been with me that night

I'd have left that horse on the track

and let them put her down.

And I'd still have my job.

Cale...

Cale?

Come on, Cale.

Honey, can I come in?

Let's just give her some time.

Cale? Come on, honey.

Open the door.

Please?

She'll come downstairs

when she's ready.

We're going to run away.

We're going to run far away.

There you go.

We're going for a little walk.

Cale...

Stop, Sonya!

Sonya, stop!

Hang on, Cale.

Cale!

Dad, she won't stop!

I can't make her stop!

Cale, hang on!

Please...

Cale!

Jump.

Jump!

I got you. I got you. I got you.
