Lean on Pete Page #3

---

and cool him off.

Then we gotta get the hell out of here

before those f***ers get drunk

and want their money back.

(CATTLE BELLOWING)

Come on. Hey, come on.

All right. There you go.

This is a 50.

I know. You did good today.

Let's get Pete and put him in the paddock.

(HOOVES PAD THE GROUND)

(PETE SNORTS)

(PETE SNORTS)

- Hey, Pete.

- (PETE BLOWS)

How you doing?

(PETE BLOWS)

Where you been?

I left a note. I got a job.

What kind of job?

Working for this guy named Del

at the horse track.

And that's who you went off with?

Yeah. We went up to this ranch

in Washington for a race.

Where did you sleep?

On the bed of his truck.

I got $50.

- 50 bucks?

- Yeah.

And this guy seems all right?

I guess.

I mean, he paid me. I got more food.

He get you those fancy boots too?

Oh, these are just

so I don't break my toes.

Well, aren't you a piece of work?

You know, I was a cook for two years

once I dropped out of school.

Yeah, I know.

It's no way to live, though.

Getting up at four every morning.

Getting hit by grease all day.

People complaining,

orders backing up. It's no way to live.

Yeah, but you get free food?

Yeah, you get free food.

But let me tell you,

you end up hating food.

But there are waitresses. Hm.

You like waitresses, don't you?

Yeah, I guess.

The best women...

have all been waitresses at some point.

(CHARLEY CHUCKLES)

(RAY GRUNTS)

So, what have you learned?

- Don't be a cook.

- Huh.

And...

...go out with waitresses.

Boom.

Besides being a hotshot athlete

and getting a job... you're smart too.

No, not over your neck.

Drape the rope over your shoulder.

Good, all right. Come on.

- It's OK. It's OK. It's OK. Hey, hey.

- (NEIGHING)

- Slow down.

- Remember what I told you yesterday?

Yep.

Hook him up before you take the rope off

'cause he'll run on you.

Good.

See that, Bob? This kid's a natural.

Yeah. He's a good kid.

And he ain't afraid of a hard day's work

like some of these other kids.

- Come on, Pete, it's all right.

- Just relax your arm.

- You're walking.

- (NEIGHING)

I know. I know. You're just excited.

- You did real good.

- DEL:
Come on, Pete.

You got it.

Just happy.

DEL:
There you go, keep moving, keep

moving. Stay ahead of him.

(PETE WHINNIES)

- DEL:
Yeah, yeah.

- You singing a song?

- There you go, hon.

- Thanks.

Put it on my tab, Cindie.

Mm.

Jeez, you don't have any manners, do you?

What did I do wrong?

You just wolfed down half a sandwich

before I even started.

You don't just shovel food

in your mouth like it's...

You're not a pig, are you?

(CHUCKLES) No.

Then let yourself chew.

I don't know how you get it down

without choking.

You gotta chew your food.
