The Longest Ride Page #4

Yeah.

Especially for my parents.

But it would have been worse

if we had stayed.

Everyone thought we were being foolish...

that my father was overreacting.

Now we can't even

contact our relatives anymore.

Sometimes I think...

what right do I have to be happy when

there's so much suffering in the world?

I guess you could say,

what right do you have to be unhappy?

True.

For a country pumpkin,

you're quite philosophical.

What?

It's a "country bumpkin"

not a "country pumpkin."

What?

I think I prefer the way you said it.

Well.

Thank you for walking me home.

You're welcome.

It was a pleasure.

Ruth...

Do you want to go out with me sometime?

I'm free after Shabbat.

Wait. You want to go out tonight?

We're not getting any younger, Levinson.

You can wait there if you want.

"Forever yours...

"Ira."

You want me to read you another one?

But...

Could you maybe...

Could you maybe come back?

Carolina Thunder's a good draw.

Sure you can handle him?

Savannah, Georgia fans,

put your hands together...

for the one, the only, Rango!

We will move our attention down

to the Cooper Tires bucking chute...

where Evan Matthews

from Summerville, Georgia is set to go.

He is about to face a bull

that needs no introduction.

85 consecutive buck-offs...

He is going for the Gold Buckle.

That looks familiar.

Let's go to Luke Collins.

If he makes a qualified ride

on Carolina Thunder...

he will crack the top 35

and punch his ticket to Vegas!

Let's go!

He comes down too early

in a costly mistake.

A mistake that could cost him

a trip to the World Finals...

and ultimately, a World Title.

You really gotta wonder...

where this guy is mentally right now.

The incident with Rango before he rode...

- Good ride, Luke.

- ...has affected his mental focus.

Damn it!

Return of the conquering hero.

Hey, Mom.

- You want eggs?

- No.

So, how did it go?

Well, you left the ring

on your own two feet.

So, it's a victory for me.

When are you gonna

stop the bull riding, Luke?

Mom, I told you, I can't.

Really?

So you forgot about your head injury?

I'm a grown man.

I just want you to get to be an old man.

Thanks.

You're scaring the hell out of me, Luke.

- Please just give it up.

- Don't worry.

So, what's going on?

Nothing.

Nothing.

I met a girl.

- You meet girls all the time.

- No.

This one's different.

I can't stop thinking about her.

So?

She moves to New York in two months.

So, I guess that's that, right?

You soak your hand in ice water.

I do no such thing.

I'm the only person at the hospital

who still talks to you.

Am I interrupting?

I was just about to strangle him! But...
