Rodeo and Juliet Page #4

---

I once had

a riding instructor who said,

"A horse always knows

when you're comfortable."

He always knows

when you're confident.

And he always knows

"when you have a delicious

apple in your hand."

No?

[gasps]

[classical score playing]

I learned to ride in the city.

But I have never ridden

a horse and saddle before.

So this should be interesting.

Hey.

All right.

Pretty light.

So we're gonna go slow.

All right. We got this, buddy.

Come on.

Let's go, Rodeo.

Come on!

[Christmas music playing]

Wow. Well, I guess I'm

a little overdressed, huh?

I mean, I'm just wondering what part

of "barn dance" you didn't get.

It's my first barn dance, okay?

- Sorry.

- Take it easy.

- Sorry!

- Okay, so who's who?

Well, that lunk head

right there,

that's my brother

and that's his friend Ian.

And the DJ back there?

That's Jeremy.

He's cute in that "nerdy, doesn't

know he's hot" kind of way.

And I'm guessing you guys

have something going on?

What? No. We're just friends.

Mhm.

Oh, great.

What are they doing here?

I didn't invite them. What do you

call Mean Girls in New York?

Mean Girls. [laughs]

Oh! Mary. Shelly.

How great of you to make it!

I want you to meet Juliet!

She's from...

Uh, let me guess.

Last year's Chico's catalog.

Black is the new black. Right?

Oh, my God, yeah.

That's so original.

You know, something really funny is

Lana Del Ray said the exact same thing

when I was backstage

at her concert last week.

But it's actually not black.

It's like a midnight blue.

They probably

don't have it here yet.

My mom's friend Calvin,

Calvin Klein,

designed it for me.

Have you heard of him or...?

No?

Where are you going? I haven't

complimented your outfit yet!

That was awesome! [laughing]

Will you just

go talk to him already?

It's obvious you want to.

Is it that obvious?

Only to humans. I'm sure the

horses haven't caught on yet.

Shut up.

- Just go.

- Okay.

[country western music playing]

Wanna dance?

Um...

Actually... There you are!

I've been looking

for you everywhere.

Yeah, I was just taking care

of that thing over there.

And he's gone.

Big save. Thank you.

I'm Monty by the way.

- I'm Juliet.

- You're living at the Roger's Ranch.

I am.

Yeah, hopefully not

for much longer, though.

I know it doesn't look much like a

dance, but you want to dance with me?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Then get it started.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

I'm really glad

you could make it.

[laughs]

You know I used to spend some

time at your grandfather's place.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I used to take care of Rodeo.

Well, that's awesome.

He's such a pretty horse.

Or am I not suppose to say

pretty because he's a male?
