Am I, Diesel?

Here, honey.

Have one of these.

Mmm, excellent.

What? You didn't feed

her last night, neither?

Well, she didn't want any.

Didn't want any what?

Your six-year-old chilli?

What's wrong with chilli?

You know, for a horse doctor,

you don't have much horse sense.

You know, I wasn't feeding horses.

In here, Sam,

I brought you some pay for the house call

you made the other day.

You don't owe me anything.

I told you that already.

What is it with women, anyway?

Well...

It takes some getting use to.

Yeah, I figured it out.

He's never had to care about anybody else

'cause there's never been anybody else around here.

'specially not a

young one like yourself.

You know, that's just

something from Mars to him.

Hmm.

I thought this was Mars.

You just hold your ground.

You let that old rooster care about

somebody else for a change.

He told me that you're some

sort of a champion show rider.

I am.

I had a thoroughbred.

His name was Admiral.

Oh.

You had to give him up?

I'd to give up everything.

Hey!

Why don't you come with me?

You need to clean up that pigsty.

Oh yeah, I'll get around to it.

When? 4th of July?

Wasn't thinking that soon.

You know, she's

been through a lot.

You know what,

that ain't my fault.

Well, she needs somebody who

loves and cares about her.

I do that, just not at the same time.

Hi!

- Hey.

- Hey.

Come here.

I brought something for you.

Oh, he's adorable!

He's small, but he'll grow.

Oh hi, little guy.

And I want you to have him.

Me?

Yeah, it's... you know,

like a welcome present.

A mule?

Yeah, it's a perfect place for him

now we already got one jackass around here.

He's had rough time.

Why, what happened?

Big storm up in Cedar Briggs.

His mum was killed by wolves.

That much little guy huddled

in the Cedars the next day.

Well, it's the first time

he hasn't bitten anybody who got close to him.

Not everybody's like you.

So what're you gonna name him?

Stormy.

That's a good choice.

Well, it was really nice meeting you.

You're gonna fit in

just fine around here.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.

So you gonna train him?

Stormy?

I don't think you

can train a mule.

Well you can't, but

you can outsmart him.

Outsmart him?

My back screen door squeaks.

Every time, I open it,

cats come running.

Lucky you.

Well, they know that

I'm bringing them food scraps.

Cats can't be trained either,

but these are...

based on the screen door opening.

(You) think I could

train Stormy like that?

Sure.

If you work hard enough,

you can get any animal (to) respond to you.

Look, I gotta go and bags have

to went to a horse this morning.

I'll be back in the afternoon.
