It's not serious. I think you'd better...
Excuse me, Dr. Early. Dr. Brackett would like to see you in treatment three.
His hint is you're free.
Tom will be right there.
You'd better keep her overnight for observation anyway.
What have you got, Kel?
Hit and run, victim. I don't think she'll make it.
Now, don't you get cute, Kel.
It's just broken toe.
Quiet. We're the doctors, and we'll do the diagnosing.
What happened?
Some klutz ran over my foot with a portable x-ray.
I hope you got his license number.
No, that's all I need. Another comic.
What do you think, Joe?
Apputation may be necessary. It's really too soon to tell.
That's a bit extreme, don't you think?
How do you feel about defibrillating at first?
That's a very original thought, Kel.
I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it.
All right, you clowns. Cut out the fun and games.
I've got work to do.
And they say doctors make lousy patients.
Let's get an x-ray of it.
No, not on your life.
You think I'm going to give that klutz another shot at me?
L.A. Engine 51. Fire under control.
Return assisting companies.
Engine 51 out, 20 minutes.
What's the matter, Joe?
I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it.
Return assisting companies. Engine 51 out, 20 minutes.
Engine 51. All units responding with Engine 51 return to quarters.
Delay.
You just have to know what I'm reading, don't you?
I do?
You're asking me.
All right.
It's a saddle catalog.
Yes, I'm buying a saddle and a horse.
Well?
Well what?
Go ahead.
You know, Johnny, you're too suspicious.
I wouldn't kid you if you were serious.
How does $10,000 grab you?
That's very serious.
I figure I can pick up at least that much every year on my days off.
You know how?
Tell me, Rodios.
Rodios?
Rodios.
There's at least a dozen of them in this area alone.
I mean, with real fat purses, too.
Now, calf roping is my specialty,
but I may enter into some of the other events.
I am going to be rolling in bread.
Or something else.
Have you ever tried calf roping?
No, I haven't.
Well, have you?
You know, it just so happens...
I had to ask.
It just so happens...
I was raised on a ranch.
I mean, I must have roped at least 1,000 calves,
and I was taught by experts.
My people.
I can handle a rope better than any...
Squad 51, woman injured.
Possible head and eye injuries.
At the lunch stand, corner of Halen Dickens.
Halen Dickens, time 9-2.
Squad 51, 10-4, KMG...
Just what I need.
Jolly Boy's in blue.
You called about an injured woman.
Not me, her boyfriend.
Why don't you get him out of here
so I can clean up this mess?
Oh, thank God.
Help her, please.
What happened?
It was all my fault.
We were drinking pop,
and I got the bright idea to shake up the bottles.
Really smart.
Her bottle exploded in her face,
and she fell back off her chair.
I'm so high.
Hey, blue boy, wait a minute.
This ain't no hospital.
I'm trying to run the restaurant here.
Hey!
Hey, now, let go, mister.
This girl could be badly hurt.
So take her to a doctor.
Can't check pupil reaction
because there may be glass in her eyes.
Pulse fast and pretty weak.
Rampart base is rescue 51, you read?
This is Rampart. Go ahead, 51.
Rampart, we have a female patient,
approximate age 18.
She's unconscious and bleeding from minor facial cuts.
She fell and hit her head.
She has a contusion with a possible concussion.
51, what are the vital signs?
Vital signs are pulse 110 to 120,
BP 90 over 60, respiration 18.
We can't check the pupils
because of possible glass in the eyes.
51, start an IV with Ringer's lactate
and transport us to his patient.
10-4.
Now we can get her out of here.
I said... Yeah, we heard you.
The ambulance should be here any minute.
You okay? Yeah.
This is all we can do for her here.
Squad 3, what is your status?
It's about time.
Unit 10-8, identify.
What's her name?
Uh, Lisa. Uh, Lisa Hill.
I'm Mike Allen.
I'm a
Look, man, we'll forget about that.
It's just her horse.
Don't worry.
I'll go to the front.
We need to take a certain of the
headless people alive.
Sure. We'll be taking her into rampart emergency.
Now, what's that?
What's your name, sir?
Ben Wesley. What's yours?
De Soto. Fireman Roy De Soto.
It's my duty to inform you that the connecting hose,
the unvented gas heater you have back there,
is in violation of the county fire code
and the state health and safety codes.
It's what? Why, you're nuts!
I'm sorry, Mr. Wesley, but it is a hazard.
You better turn off that gas valve
and replace that old hose with an approved connector.
You can't make me. You're no cop.
No, but I think you better do it anyway.
Figures. Put a uniform on a jerk
and right away he thinks he's God.
Okay. Okay, so it's turned off.
Satisfied?
Mr. Wesley, this is not personal.
This is for your safety as well as for your customers.
You have three days to get that connector changed,
and I advise you not to use the gas heater anymore.
It is dangerous.
Oh, yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Anything you say, sir.
Hey, don't worry.
She's in pretty good hands.
You've got a very bad bump, young lady,
but I don't think there's any fractures.
I want some precautionary x-rays. They're standing by.
Does that eye hurt pretty badly?
Yes.
Complete washout.
Optane and stamen of fluorescein.
I want to examine the eye more closely.
I'll have Sally start the wash.
Hey.
Hey, Sally.
Now hold on, pussycat.
Watch it, buddy. I just left a leprosy patient.
Sally, Dr. Early needs you in four.
Splint.
Yes, ma'am.
Uh, Lisa... Lisa Hill.
Are you a relative?
No, I'm Mike Allen.
Boyfriend.
I wish.
What about her parents?
They'll probably shoot me, and I can't blame them.
I mean, shouldn't they be notified?
You'd better call them.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll do that.
And then I'll go someplace and cut my throat.
You know, when I was a kid, I used to watch a lot of cowboy Indian movies.
Never thought I'd see a for real Indian cowboy.
Ha-ha.
What are you doing?
Every good rope has to be stretched.
Don't you know anything about ropes?
Not much, I guess.
I never knew that you had to put ropes in a can.
It's a professional's trick.
It keeps the ropes from being affected by the weather.
Dry, they get too stiff.
Damp, they get too limber.
Fascinating, isn't it?
Oh, listen, I'm very impressed.
No, you're not, but you will be
as soon as I start cashing those big rodeo checks.
Station 51, engine 24, engine 107.
Explosion at the lunch stand.
Possible injuries.
Corner of Hale and Dickens.
Hale and Dickens, time out 1141.
Station 51, 10-4, Hale and Dickens, time out 1141.
Hale and Dickens.
Isn't that the same place?
Yeah, that's Ben's place.
Tender when he tried to relight that gas heater
without checking the pilot.
Oh, that's gas, all right.
You better get him out of here as fast as you can.
Now, let's get that crowd back.
And go again.
Get the stretcher.
Before you do anything, shut off the gas and electricity.
Then get that real line in there and overhaul this mess.
165, over.
I'm on it.
Engine 51, fire under control.
Station 51 out 15 minutes.
Return assisting companies.
I don't know what happened.
Something just blew.
All right, all right, be quiet.
Now, we're gonna have to move you.
All right, all right, all right.
Move it, T.
Move it, T.
Rampart base is rescue 51, honey, read.
We read you loud and clear, 51, go ahead.
Rampart, we have a male victim, age approximately 40.
He's suffering from second and third degree burns on his face,
his chest, and his arms from a flash explosion.
He was thrown against the wall,
but there's no apparent injuries from that.
He's conscious, but he's in very great pain.
Vital signs are pulse 130, blood pressure 90 over 50,
respirations 18 to 20.
51, can you set up an EKG?
Negative, the chest area's too badly burned for that.
51, start an IV with normal saline and transport.
10-4.
I'll need a sterile room and a burn tray.
Ask Joe to stand by to help with the debriefment.
Right.
Ident and doctor, treatment two.
Ident and doctor.
Oh, Mike, did you talk to her parents?
Yes, ma'am.
They were in Riverside with some friends.
They'll be here as soon as they can.
Is Lisa, is she gonna be all right?
Well, the word I got was the x-ray's are negative.
That means no sign of fracture.
Oh, what about her eye?
They're almost finished with the examination.
It won't be long now.
I wish it was my eye.
Mine are just eyes, but hers are so...
Beautiful.
It's not a dirty word, Mike.
I didn't say it to her.
Now try and relax, okay?
No more glass in it.
I think you're a very lucky young lady, Lisa.
It feels numb.
That's the anesthesia.
When it wears off, your eyes will probably hurt a little.
But they're only minor lacerations.
Nothing that nature can't handle.
Sally, patch both eyes.
We'll have to keep those eyes covered for a while
until the lacerations heal.
They'll be all right.
Don't you worry.
Thank you, Doctor.
Joe, Cal wants you to help with the burn patient
that's coming in.
Okay.
I'll do that.
Make the arrangements for a sterile room
and set up a burn tray.
Right away.
Why do I have to have both eyes covered?
Save strain on the good one.
If we leave that uncovered,
it tries to do the work of both eyes.
What a stupid thing to happen.
Mike probably thinks I'm a clumsy idiot.
I bet he never calls me again.
Don't bet too much.
He's outside right now, wearing his head off.
About me?
Really?
Really.
Now, you just lie still and rest.
I'm gonna sue all of you jerks for this.
I'll get those shiny badges,
bunch of guest stoppokes.
All right, just take it easy, mister.
Room three, huh?
Don't tell me to take it easy.
I'll sue you two,
and the fire department, and the county.
Thanks a lot.
You bring us the nicest patients.
Oh, that was nothing.
You should have heard him in the ambulance.
You would have thought it was our fault his place blew up.
Rewards of public service, Tony.
All right.
You just wait.
By the time you get through scrubbing and the breedment,
he'll be hating you too.
We'll really worry about it.
The purpose of a ropes, knots, and hitches drill
is to make sure you can handle ropes in an emergency.
Being able to make the right knot in a hurry
will save lives.
Maybe you're wrong, who knows?
Done.
Excellent.
Ah, a few too many thumbs, Kelly.
Well, let's try again.
But not you, John.
You're supervised.
See, if you can't teach them, do it a little faster.
All right, gentlemen, one more time.
Go.
Squad 59, cancel your response.
Don't feel too badly, gentlemen.
There is no shame in being beaten by an expert.
It's just experience and talent, of course.
And I want you to know that if anybody needs my guidance,
I'd be more than happy to help.
And I want you gentlemen to also understand one thing,
that even after I've become a rodeo star,
my skills and talents will still be at your d-
All you have to do is just ask, what are friends for,
if not to help out a-
Squad 51, child in a coma.
37-05, Orchard Street, apartment 12.
37-05, Orchard Street, apartment 12.
Oh, it's Timmy inside.
I'm afraid he's dying.
Are you his mother?
Yes, I'm Mrs. Collins.
He was lying on the ground in the yard when I found him.
I think he fell out of the tree.
He must have hit his head on a rock or a branch.
His head, what about his arms?
The bruises on his arms?
Those are old bruises.
He's had those for several days.
Just the one on his head's new.
Pulse is 120, respiration's 15.
Rampart, this is rescue 51.
We have a boy, aged approximately seven years old.
He's comatose.
The vital signs are pulse 120, respiration 15.
Blood pressure is?
95 over 65.
95 over 65.
He has a severe bruise on the side of his head.
The mother states that he apparently fell from a tree.
Are you sure he didn't get these other bruises in the fall?
Yes, most of them.
You know how little boys are.
They always have a few bruises.
Not like these.
Didn't you notice they weren't healing?
No.
Is it important?
I mean, they're only bruises.
Has he been sick recently?
No.
No, Timmy's very healthy.
Well, he did have a cold.
How long ago?
A week.
Ten days, maybe.
I mean, it wasn't serious.
It was only one of those virus things.
Dr. Brackett, what's this got to do with Timmy falling out of a tree?
Mrs. Collins, when did the boy fall?
Exactly how long has he been unconscious?
I don't know.
See, I was next door helping Mrs. Kowalski, and she has the flu.
Timmy was home playing with some friends.
It could have been an hour, maybe two.
I mean, I thought it was all right.
I mean, I was just next door.
I would hear if anything happened.
Mrs. Collins, I think you'd better wait outside.
Please, can I be with him?
Just wait outside.
We'll let you know.
You're kind of rough on her, weren't you, Cal?
I could be kind of rough on him, too.
Well, I don't think she meant anything.
Save it, Dix.
Just get those blood samples to the lab.
CBC, a full screening test, and a platelet count.
Platelet?
Have them prepare a smear.
I want that now.
Bad hunch?
More like a wild guess.
Or maybe not so wild.
Suspecting what?
Blood platelets.
Oh?
Yeah.
I doubt if the count is more than 10,000.
It's only a presumptive diagnosis, but I think the boy has ITP.
Oh, no.
Everything points to it.
First thing we have to do is relieve that intracranial hemorrhage.
Who's available?
Dr. Holman.
He's alerted.
Good girl.
I'll see him now.
Dix, stay after the lab, will you?
I want that report as soon as possible.
Right.
Easy, honey.
It wasn't your fault.
You told him not to go in that tree.
Come on, don't.
Please.
Mr. Collins?
Huh?
Billy, what are you boys doing here?
We came to see if Timmy's all right.
I'm afraid he's pretty sick, Ed.
He'll be all right, though, won't he?
Of course.
Of course he will.
He'll be fine.
Look, you boys better go on home before your folks start to worry about you.
Yes, sir.
Dr. Early.
Dr. Early.
Where do you think he is?
I don't know.
Just act natural and keep your ears open.
Grown-ups are always talking.
Yeah, they don't pay no attention to kids.
Dr. Smith, an emergency.
Well?
Not so well.
Hear the live reports.
The platelet count is way down.
That settles it.
Splenectomy?
No, not yet.
Not at all, if I can help it.
But can you?
I don't know.
If I can just get his platelet count back up where it belongs.
We'll start him on injections of steroids.
Then I'll need some blood, fast.
Get me some donor six.
And have the lab stand by to reduce the blood to a platelet concentrate.
Figuring the parents for two, I'll need four more donors.
And I think I know just where to get them.
Sally, Dr. Brackett needs four blood donors.
For the little boy?
Yeah, I'll take a walk and see if you can't nail someone.
I can see if you can't nail some of those characters who just love to hang around emergency.
They're full of something.
Maybe it's blood.
They've got it. I'll get it.
Idiopathic.
Thrombocytopenic.
PURPRA.
ITP for short.
It means that his spleen is consuming his blood platelets,
the coagulants that are needed for clotting.
That's why his bruises didn't heal.
Does this mean that Jimmy's gonna die?
I don't know, but it's still quite serious.
We're going to try to restore and stabilize his platelet level.
We'll need blood donors. He may require more surgery.
He can have all I got. We...
Good. You two try to relax. We'll call you when we're ready.
Dr. Brackett. Dr. Brackett.
Well, fine-looking specimens.
Uh, Miss McCall, I...
Mm-hmm?
Well, my work. I really should be getting back. I don't have much time.
Oh, that's all right, Richie. We'll take you first.
Well, what do we have here?
We heard her say that Timmy needs blood.
Yeah, we got blood.
And Timmy's our best friend.
We got good blood. We drink lots of milk, eat vegetables, and take vitamins.
Now, hold it, gentlemen. Hold it.
I'm sure you have wonderful blood, and Timmy certainly has two very good friends.
But as you can see, we have four very brave volunteers. That's all we need.
So you go back to the waiting room and let us work. Now, scoot.
Engine 96, 10-4.
Hey, Johnny, telephone for you in the office.
Just a moment, will you?
You know, that's the fourth phone call in the past hour. We've been under-rating Gage.
No way. I wonder what he's up to, though.
Oh, it's no big deal. He's just gonna arrange a practice arena for Thursday.
You mean he's actually gonna... No. But he doesn't even have a horse.
Oh, he's got a friend that's gonna lend him a horse to practice on.
Hey, I've got an idea. We're off. Why don't we all go and watch?
Yeah, we can be as jeery as... No, no, no deal. Now, listen, you guys stay away from there.
But why, Roy? All we want to do is... Yeah, I know what you want to do.
But you see, I have to ride with him. Now, if he does badly with you guys watching him, he's gonna be miserable.
Well, we could be wrong. He might do great.
Oh, that's fine. Then he'll make me miserable.
Yeah, that's right.
Station 51, Truck 43. Camp bus off the road. Possible injuries.
Pinecrest Road, approximately 16 miles north of Foothill Boulevard.
Timeout in 1642. Station 5110, 4K, MG36.
Camp bus. It's probably kids. Could be really rough.
Kids are tough. You're not even able to scratch.
Yeah, I know. Think positive.
16 miles coming up. Keep your eyes open. There should be some sign of where they went over.
Look at that thing. It's hanging right on the edge of that cliff.
Could go over any second. Let's get two lines off the engine to the axles.
And secure two more to those trees. And let's have a real line down there in case that thing takes off.
Forcible entry tools, too. Stoker, you get the equipment down to us, all right, Mike?
Let's leave the turnouts on the rig.
LA Engine 51, we have bus off road with undetermined injuries.
Have Truck 43 proceed to lower Pinecrest Road and set up to remove victims.
Also request another engine crew to assist. I'll need at least two ambulances.
We'll advise further.
10-451, we'll dispatch Engine 801. Engine 801 respond with Station 51.
Bus accident, Pinecrest Road 16 miles north of Foothill.
Pinecrest Road 16 miles north of Foothill. Timeout 1643.
All right, let's go.
Stoker, tighten that right line.
Hey, kids! Settle down in there! Quiet!
Now, don't move. Now, the fire department's here to help you, but you gotta sit down and don't move.
We'll have you out of here in a minute, but you can't move!
Chet, Marco, secure these other lines, then go on back up to the top and bring down the rest of the equipment, all right?
Looks okay, Roy. Why don't you go up and take a look?
Right.
Relax, debarra.
Hold it tight.
Don't worry, everything's gonna be okay.
Oh, hi.
Hi, yourself.
How are you all doing in there?
Don't worry about us.
Can you do something for Sister Barbara?
She's hurt awful bad.
Yeah, I'll be right in.
You stay still.
See, I told you everything was gonna be okay.
We got about a dozen kids in there.
They're pretty beaten up and scared of us.
They're scared of us.
They're scared of us.
They're scared of us.
They're scared of us.
They're scared of us.
They're scared of us.
They're scared of us.
They're scared of us.
They're scared of us.
They're scared of us.
They're scared of us.
There might be some broken bones I can't really tell yet, but there was a nun that was driving.
She's pinned down in there real good.
That looks bad.
Can we get inside?
Yeah.
I can just break in through the windows.
You wanna bring me that axe?
Okay, kids, now listen to me.
I'm gonna have to break this glass.
So I want you all to move to this side of the bus.
Let's move.
All right, good.
Now turn your faces away.
Turn your faces away.
We're gonna die.
We're all gonna die.
Come on, Debbie, we're not gonna die.
It's practically over now.
Truck 43, about another 10 feet, right below me.
I'm gonna have to break this glass.
I'm gonna have to break this glass.
Truck 43, about another 10 feet, right below me.
Okay, now you kids stay where you are, okay?
There's gonna be some firemen.
They're gonna be down here in just a minute to help you out.
Is it hurt?
No.
All right.
Well, hang on.
It won't be long now.
Okay.
I'm gonna have to break this glass.
The rest of us are okay.
Yeah?
Let me see that arm.
Well, that's fine.
Just hurts a little.
A little, huh?
It's just a sprain.
Sorry, Harold.
I'm afraid it's broken.
Just hold it just like that and don't move it, okay?
Yeah.
All right.
Split these two and check the rest of the kids on the run-up road with Roy.
Okay.
She's alive, but she's in real bad condition.
Well, two of the kids have fractures with one leg, one arm.
The rest of them are all right, except for cuts and bruises and everything taken care
of.
Well, why don't you get the crew to take the kids up?
Tell the captain we're gonna need port of power.
You stay with her.
I'm trying to move this thing out of the way.
Get back here as soon as you can.
All right.
Cap, I'm gonna go back and work with Roy, but we're gonna need port of power quick.
Is Sister Barbara gonna be okay?
Watch those ropes.
We might have to cinch up on the...
We're doing all we can.
Bring the kids right here.
Those that don't need further attention, let's hop right over to the engine in the basket.
Captain, are you about ready?
All right, will you?
All right, girls, he's got a fractured leg.
Three at a time.
Just take that three at a time.
That's okay.
He can walk by himself.
Vital signs are pulse 130.
BP is 70 over 40.
Respiration's 18.
There's a strong probability of internal injury.
She's pinned under some wreckage, and there may be some broken bones.
She's comatose, a diaphoretic.
Start IV with ringer's lactate.
10-4.
Rampart, we also have nine children with various injuries, none of which are critical.
They're being transported by the ambulance.
The ETA is 20 minutes.
The steering broke.
Shh, no, no, no, don't talk.
The children.
Take it easy.
Don't worry.
They're all being taken care of.
Are you sure?
All of them?
All of them.
Easy now, easy.
Okay, here we go.
Rampart, BP is still 70 over 40.
51, can she be moved yet?
Negative, Rampart.
It's hard to estimate just how long it's going to take to free her from the wreckage.
Okay, 51, do everything you can to expedite.
Better start a second IV.
We'll be standing by here.
51, 10-4.
Bad?
Probably internal hemorrhage.
If they don't get her in here soon, she'll never make it.
Better alert OR about kids coming in.
Have Joe stand by.
Can't afford to waste any time on this end.
Am I going to die?
No.
Not if we can help it.
I feel like a bag of broken eggs.
You're going to be all right.
You understand you're going to be all right.
Of course.
Would you do me a favor?
Can you find my purse?
Yeah, it's right here.
Inside, a rosary.
And there's a prayer book.
There's a prayer.
Pasted in the front.
Would you read it for me?
I'm not a Catholic.
I don't think God would mind.
Please.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who implored your help
or sought your intercession was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother.
To you I come.
Before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petition,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Hi.
How you doing?
I really don't know.
We're getting ready to move you out of here right now.
The way I'm tangled, you'll have to take the whole bus.
I know, just you.
I'm afraid we're gonna have to leave this bus behind.
You never told me your name.
I'm Sister Barbara.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I'm Roy DeSoto. This is my partner, Johnny Gage.
Hi, Johnny Gage.
Hi.
Thanks to the both of you.
You're welcome.
Well, you better stop talking.
Are you set?
Yeah, when you are.
All right, let's go.
Wait a minute, hold it.
Are you all right?
It's not bad, just my feet.
I can take it.
Here, let me move it a little further down.
All right, let's go.
A little more.
All right, a little more.
She's free.
Splints?
No, no, no, just get the stretcher.
Okay.
Sister, this is gonna hurt a bit,
but I don't want you to help.
I just want you to relax as much as possible
and let us do the work, okay?
All right, you got it, got it.
All right, take the back of this, will you?
L.A. Engine 51, request helicopter in my location for evacuation.
All right.
Okay, pull.
I guess it's not heaven,
but you two sure look like angels to me.
You are a little sicker than I thought.
The helicopter will be taking you out, sister.
You should be at the hospital in about 15 minutes.
A hel... helicopter?
Will you go with me?
In the helicopter, I mean.
Sure, you will.
I'll take the squadron in.
Yeah, sure, I'll stay with you.
Thank you.
Please don't tell anybody,
but I'm terribly afraid of flying.
I may need you to say another prayer for me.
How's Timmy doing?
He's improving.
Are those reports on the last blood sample?
Mm-hmm.
Good.
Better than that.
His platelet level's nearly normal and stabilizing.
Nice going, Timmy.
And you can tell those wolves,
they gave their blood to a successful cause.
Some wolves.
Rabbits.
They're afraid to come to emergency now.
Well, they'll recover, unfortunately.
There are some ways in which men are very dependable.
Room 4, the doctors are waiting.
God bless you, Roy DeSoto.
You made a fast trip.
Yeah, once we got it free, it took time.
Don't worry about it.
Did the best you could and so will the doctors.
Come on, I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
She got a gut for you, huh?
Yeah.
You know, Dix, she's quite a person.
If there's anything she needs,
I mean, if there's anything that I could do, I'd...
I'll call Fireman DeSoto.
Oh, yeah, this is hers.
Would you...
You know, I'm not very religious,
but I got a hunch that the doctors are gonna get some help
with Sister Barbara.
Hey, Roy, I hope you're not as shot as your partner there.
No, no, I feel wonderful.
This is a very good day.
What are you so happy about?
Dix just called from the hospital.
Sister Barbara's gonna make it.
Hey, that's great. I mean it.
Yeah.
Hey, I almost forgot.
How did the rodeo practice go?
Fine, fine.
And I don't think I'll be doing any more rodeo work for a while, though.
Oh, come.
You just had your first practice session yesterday, didn't you?
Yeah, we worked out all day.
Something go wrong with the roping?
No, no, I can rope all right.
Oh, what's the problem? Maybe I can help.
No, no, it's...
It's just a matter of time, that's all.
All right, uh...
See, I kind of forgot how long it's been since I've been writing, you know.
And one hard day on a horse.
Hey, Gage.
Some girl on the phone wants to talk to you.
Can you take a message?
She says it's important.
Some girl named Anita.
Anita?
Ah!
Oh, heaven.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
H cooking on-istani
