(HORSE WHINNYING)

- Get over here.

- (SNORTS)

Should have left

them mares alone

and quit rubbing your nose

on the fence.

Wouldn't have to be

sitting here.

Come on, Gus.

- Hello, ma'am.

- WOMAN:
Hi.

I'm here to see Lane Scott.

Hey, brother. How you doing?

Long time, no see, brother.

I missed you.

Feeling better?

You're looking good.

Looks like they're doing

a lot for you here.

How you feeling?

Feeling good, huh?

It's a pretty good place here.

H...

O...

W...

S.

How's...

How's my head?

(SIGHS)

Feeling all right.

B...

S.

Oh, "Rub some..."

D.

"Rub some dirt in it"?

(LAUGHING)

Little bit of Copenhagen,

too, huh?

(ON VIDEO) Name's Lane Scott.

I'm 18 years old, and I'm

from Kennebec, South Dakota.

MAN:
Lane, he's young,

but he's really good.

Best bull rider to come out

of South Dakota, for sure.

LANE:
I mean... I mean,

I'm not... Not trying to imply

anything, but me and Superman have

never been seen in the

same room together, so...

(HEAVY METAL PLAYING ON VIDEO)

MAN:
No shirt. Wild man.

(WHOOPING)

MAN:
Nice, baby!

Good ride, cowboy!

I was about three years old

when my dad introduced me

into the rodeo world.

There's nothing

that really can beat it.

You get on a bull,

make a good ride, everybody...

Everybody in the stands

stands up for you,

yells, cheers. Um...

Your adrenaline's going,

you...

You just can't stop

but smiling.

There's nothing

like strapping yourself

onto a 2,000 pound animal

and just going with it.

That's what I wanted to do,

and I knew I wanted to do it

for the rest of my life.

I couldn't imagine

doing anything else.

Somebody come and play

Somebody come

and play my way

Somebody come

And rhyme the rhymes...

- Lil.

- What?

Thinking about going

to the rodeo.

If I do, you want to go with?

Nope.

Nope.

Take you to

the carnival afterwards.

- Carnival?

- Get on some rides.

Are you sure?

- If you want to.

- Yes.

Somebody come

And play today...

All right.

And watch the sun

Till the rain again

Somebody...

- (CROWD CHEERING)

- (MUSIC PLAYING)

What are you doing here, bro?

Riding today?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(ANNOUNCER SPEAKING

INDISTINCTLY)

BRADY:
Go! Go! Go! Go!

Hustle! Hustle! Hustle!

ANNOUNCER:
He's got

an eight-second whistle.

He could beat South Dakota.

He's safe on the ground.

Put your hands together

for Tanner Langdeau.

(HORSES WHINNYING)

(ANNOUNCER WHOOPS)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

ANNOUNCER:

Let's hear it for Tanner!

CAT:
Holy piss, did you see

that gray horse buck today?

TANNER:
With Cameron, right?

CAT:
Yeah. Saddle horse.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Hey. Wake up, Grandpa.

Falling asleep over there.

You entering Water's Rodeo
