Butch

Hey, kid? If you're pullin' my leg, I'm gonna eat yours.

Butch

It was 100 degrees in the shade. I walked for five days with no water... Then I saw it - a pretty pond. I bent down to take a drink, when these crocs launched out of the water! One croc bit me on the face; ain't no way I wasn't its supper! Except for one thing... I wasn't ready for dyin' that day. I bit one croc in half, tail-whipped the other, and the last one... well, I drowned that croc in my own blood.

Butch

If you ain't scared of a croc bitin' you on the face, you ain't alive. Listen, kid, you can't get rid of fear. It's like Mother Nature; you can't beat her or outrun her, but you can get through it. You can find out what you're made of.

Ramsey

Look like he’s a cutest thing.

Arlo
[as Ramsey fusses Spot]

He likes you.

Nash
[laughs]

Imagine that, Ramsey. [leaning towards her] Even with your stinky face!

Ramsey

Nash! Boundaries! This is my personal bubble.

Nash

Nah, that ain't your bubble. THIS is your bubble...! [they start wrestling]

Butch

Nash, get outta your sister's bubble.

Butch

We ain't got time for babysitting. We've got longhorns to round up.

Ramsey
[to Arlo]

My genius brother lost our whole herd in one day.

Nash

I did not lose them, Ramsey! How many times have I gotta tell you this? They just wandered off!

Butch

And we've still gotta find them. We can't help ya, kid.

Arlo

So, how far did you say that watering hole was?

Butch

I got a job for ya.

Arlo

I'm not really good at jobs...

Butch

I need you to keep on the dodge and sidle up the loblolly past them horn-heads, just hootin' and hollerin' to score off them rustlers. We'll cut dirt and get the bulge on 'em.

Arlo
[confused]

What?

Ramsey

He just wants you to get on that rock and scream.

Arlo

Uh, but what's out there?

Butch

They'll come right at ya. You hold your ground. Don't move.

Arlo

"Don't move"? What if they have claws and big teeth?

Butch

Don't overthink it.

Arlo

Butch, how'd you get your scar?

Butch

I don't know if you're ready for that story.

Arlo

I can take it!

Nash

Oh yeah, you gotta tell him pa!

Ramsey

That's a good one!

Butch
[clears his throat]

It was 100 degrees in the shade. I walked for five days with no water... Then I saw it - a pretty pond. I bent down to take a drink, when these crocs launched out of the water! One croc bit me on the face; ain't no way I wasn't its supper! Except for one thing... I wasn't ready for dyin' that day. I bit one croc in half, tail-whipped the other, and the last one... well, [deeper voice] I drowned that croc in my own blood.

Arlo
[amazed]

Whoa...!

Ramsey and Nash

DANG!

Nash
[shivering]

Ooh, look, look! Gives me the little goosies every time!

Ramsey

I love that story! Show him your souvenir!

Ramsey
[Butch opens his mouth, revealing a crocodile's tooth embedded between his teeth]

Ain't that just too good?!

Nash

Can I touch it this time?

Butch

No.

Arlo
[laughs slightly]

You guys would have liked my poppa. He wasn't scared of anything. I'm done being scared. [sighs]

Butch

Who said I'm not scared?

Arlo

But you took on a croc!

Butch

And I was scared doin' it. If you ain't scared of a croc bitin' you on the face, you ain't alive. Listen, kid, you can't get rid of fear. It's like Mother Nature; you can't beat her or outrun her, but you can get through it. You can find out what you're made of.

Arlo
[Butch's speech hits Arlo, who then sees snowflakes drifting down]

The first snow.

Ramsey

It's early this year.

Arlo

And I got to get home to Momma.

Nash

We'll get you to that watering hole.

Butch

A deal's a deal. At first light, we ride.
