Ramsey
Look like he’s a cutest thing.
A 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.
A Arlo
So, how far did you say that watering hole was?
Butch
I got a job for ya.
A 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.
Ramsey
He just wants you to get on that rock and scream.
A Arlo
Uh, but what's out there?
Butch
They'll come right at ya. You hold your ground. Don't move.
A Arlo
"Don't move"? What if they have claws and big teeth?
Butch
Don't overthink it.
A Arlo
Butch, how'd you get your scar?
Butch
I don't know if you're ready for that story.
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.
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.
A 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?
A 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.
A Arlo
[Butch's speech hits Arlo, who then sees snowflakes drifting down]
The first snow.
Ramsey
It's early this year.
A 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.
