"I'm not exactly your typical Oklahoma girl." "See, I'm half-orphan, which means I don't have a daddy." "And my mama works all the time." "So I'm basically on my own." "I did have a granddaddy." "He was a rodeo trick rider." "One of the best." "When I was real little, he'd tell me," ""It's not enough for a man to know how to ride." "He's gotta know how to fall."" "Well, I couldn't ride a horse to save my life." "I have to admit, though, it sure looked like fun." " Yeehaw!" " Hey!" "What are you doin' in my purse?" " Get outta there!" "Get on!" " Hey!"

"You gotta sell it!" " There you go, Terence." " Thank you, Alice." " And how are you doin'?" " Well, I get up every morning... and make it to bed most nights."

"Used to ride in the rodeo." " You were almost as good as my granddaddy." " That a fact?" "Jim Clayton." "Ever heard of him?" "So, uh, how are things at home, Ida?" "Everything okay with you and your folks?" "Just me and my mama." "Never knew my daddy." "Hmm." "Well, you best be gettin' on home." "Imagine your mama's waitin' for these aspirin." "Yep!" "Yep." "Gotta run." "Thank you, sir." "Whoa." "Whoa, boy." "All right." "Okay." "I promise I'm gonna get on you." "If you just give me a second, I'll do it." "Come on." "All right." "Good boy." "There we go." "Let's go for a little spin, huh?" "Boy, slow down!" "Come on." "He's a beauty, ain't he?" "Takes somethin' special to ride a horse like this." "How'd you feel about ridin' with the Sweethearts?" "Uh, don't take this the wrong way, but... did you forget to take that medicine that you got?" "Come on now." "How about it?" "What are you afraid of?" "I'm about the worst rider in the world." "Sweethearts goin' out on a big tour." "Rodeos all over the West." "And Rebecca..." "That's my daughter..."

"You gotta ask your mama's permission." " Thank you, sir." " Mm-hmm." "Come on." "Come on." "No way." "Absolutely not." "But, Mom, come on!" "It's Terence Parker!" "I don't care about Terence Parker." "Anyway, you don't even know how to ride a horse." "Oh, well, I do so!" "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah!" "Summer camp." "Uh, that was..." "two years ago." "The rodeo's no place for a little girl." "It's just a bunch of..." "Deadbeats?" "Huh?" "You sure you not talkin' about what's-his-face picking you up tonight?" "He's not that bad." "There he is." "No on the rodeo." "I got my phone on me." "I'll be back by midnight." "Υou sure you're okay?" "I always am." "Hmm." "Okay." "Just for a little while." "Mr. Parker..." ""I would be honored, Mr. Parker..."" "She really wanted to come out today, but it's just so hard to get off of work." "Okay." "Let's get you on in there." "Yes, sir." "In you go." "All right." "Howdy." "Howdy." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, now." "Don't you want to name him first?" "Hmm?" "You want me to name him?" "Hi." "Well," "I think..." "that your name should be Prince." "Prince." "Prince it is." "Go on." "Get up." "All right." "All right, now hold on a second." "First thing I want you to remember is that you and this horse are a team." "Every team has a leader." "So that makes you the leader of the Ida-Prince team." "Yes, sir." "All right." "Let's get you on up." "All right." "On three." "One, two, three." "There we go." "All right now." "Hi, Prince."

"Well, Ida's already got a family." "I know that." "And a mighty fine mom too." "How would you know that?" "Because I knew your daddy." "And I know how much care he put into raising ya." "Even if you did start out as an ornery little thing no higher than my knee." "Yes, sir." "Jim was a..." "Jim was a good man." "And a fine cowboy." "Sure looked out for me." "Wish someone would've looked out for him." "Mm-hmm." "Υou and me both." "I think he'd be proud to know that Ida was ridin' with us." "Don't you dare tell me what my daddy would've wanted, Mr. Parker." "And don't you go using' his memory for your personal gain." "You're right." "Sorry." "That..." "That was out of line." "Um, I don't know if I mentioned that there's pay involved?" "Seventy-five dollars a performance." "Twelve performance works out to be about, um... about $900." "Times is hard right now."

"Justin's gonna take me home." "I don't think so." "I'll catch up with you later." "I wouldn't count on it, cowboy." "Rebecca, what is wrong with you?" "You are about as sharp as a marble, aren't you?" "Let go!" "Do you even remember what brought you to the Sweethearts in the first place?" "Rebecca, I've changed." "Have you?" "Because last night you were breakin' and entering'." "And tonight you're throwin' back longnecks with John Wayne Jr." "Looks to me like you're hell-bent on gettin' sent back to prison." "It was a correctional institute." "Whatever it was, do you ever wanna walk through those doors again?" "No." "Well, then you gotta stay clean." "And stay away from that cowboy." "You hear me?"

"Yeah, I got one right here." "Here you go." "Thanks." "He kinda looked like her, but I don't know." "What was his last name?" "She doesn't know his last name." "Shh, shh." " What you doin'?" " Kansas found your daddy." "I didn't say that." "Where's he at?" "He's at the stockyards." "Ida, I said "I think"!" "Howdy." "Howdy, sir." "What can I do for ya?" "Well, if you don't mind me askin'." "Um..." "Does your first name happen to be Walker?" "Yes, it is." "My name's Ida." "Ida Clayton." "My mama's name is Elaine Clayton." "It's a fine name." "Mm-hmm." "Well, you see, sir, we're from Dalton, and that's in Oklahoma." "But we used to be from Springville, or at least that's where my mama was." "I wasn't actually born on account of I'm only 12 years old." "But that's kind of the point because she fell in love with a rodeo man named Walker." "And I was just thinking that since his name's Walker, and he could be my father." "You know." "Since your name's Walker, it could be perfect." "Your name is Walker, right?" "That's good." "I mean, you're just the right age and everything." "I-I-I was just wondering if- if you could be him." "My father." "Ida, you seem like a wonderful young lady." "But I've never been to Springville." "I'm sorry." "Wait a minute." "They didn't meet in Springville." "They met in Kansas City." "I'm from Colorado." "I'm pretty sure I've never met your mother." "I'm sorry to have wasted your time." "Hey, babe." "Well, what are you doin' here?" "Well, I was on my way to Missouri... and I passed a sign that said, "You are leaving Kansas."" "It hit me I'm not ready to leave you." "Look, I got a confession to make." "I'm not supposed to drink anymore." "Oh." "I'm sorry." "I thought you just bein' a big rodeo star and all..." "No, it's just I used to be kinda wild." "I guess I got what you could call a past, and..." "I'm different now, but" "Is that okay?" "Of course it's okay." "You know, I got a past too." "So what's this past of yours?" "I went to business school for two years." "That is not a past." "A past is something bad, like petty theft at least." "I dropped out." "All right." "That's a little better." "Gettin' there?" "How come?" "Uh, my parents, uh, own this big business... and I was expected to take it over one day." "Yeah." "When I got there, I just felt like I was penned in." "I couldn't breathe." "Thought it was my destiny to be out here and think for myself." "How about you?" "Am I happy?" "Yeah." "Hopefully the bad times are behind me." "Don't I know you from somewhere?" "Here I thought you did all your hidin' in the hay cart." "Oh, come now, angel." "Tell old Rawley what's all the fuss." "I ain't no angel." "Bad day, huh?" "It's a bad life." "Well, I don't know about that." "Aren't you one of those Sweethearts?" "More like one of their stray horses." "Mama was right." "I'm such a mess." "He wouldn't wanna have anything to do with me." "Hey." "Hey now." "Hey." "What are we talkin' about?" "Boy trouble?" "You just wouldn't understand." "You probably right about that." "I, uh, never been too good at relationships myself." "But I will say sometimes it's just as simple... as that boy not even knowing there's a problem." "You can't give up." " You gotta get right back in the saddle and..." " Wait." " What did you just say?" " About giving up?" "No, no." "About "not even knowing."" "Yeah." "Uh..." "That's what I'm talkin' about." "Can I have this?" "Well, I..." "Well, I'm glad I could be of help." "That cowboy helped me see the problem." "My daddy probably didn't know I existed." "But if I could become a famous trick rider... and get my picture on the front page of the newspaper, then he would find me for sure." "The Hippodrome?" "You want me to teach you the Hippodrome?" "Mm-hmm." "Why?" "Why?" "That's right." "Why?" "I can't even get you to practice your drills." "Well, you said I had what it takes." "Well, maybe you do, but that doesn't mean..." "I'm gonna teach you a dangerous trick like the Hippodrome." "Listen." "Did Kansas and Madison ever make the front page doing a Spin the Horn?" "Not that I know of." "Then Hippodrome it is." "I hope someday you find your daddy, Ida." "I really do." "But whether you do or not, you can't go living your life letting' all those yesterdays define your tomorrows, not if you wanna be a trick rider." "You gotta step into that arena with a clear head... and a quiet heart." "But you don't start out with the Hippodrome." "You gotta learn every piece of it step by step." "Fine." "Then that's what I'll do." "You don't have to get all Mr. Miyagi on me." "♪ The way I see it ♪" "Come on." "Relax."

""We'd sure love to, Miss Parker, just as soon as this economy picks back up."" "I heard that there's gonna be a big honcho... from the Cactus Saddlery here tonight." "Really?" "Word is they lookin'." "They'd be great." "I know you been praying, Augustus." "We all have." "But I'm not sure it's doing any good." "I mean, every time we get close to it, it seems like someone just snatches it away from us." "If God is driving our car, then honestly, it seems to me... he took a wrong turn a few miles back, or I..." "Okay." "I know you believe, Rebecca, but believing' and trustin' is two different things." "So you think all my second-guessin' makes me a fool?" "No." "Just means you've been given a chance... to find out what trust really means." "Thank you." "I am ready to practice more of my Hippodrome." "You don't say." "Well, yes, sir." "I mean, I've had my fill of "waxing' on and waxing' off."" "Well, how about we start on it tomorrow, okay?" "All right, ladies, listen up." "We gotta look extra sharp tonight." "There's gonna be some potential sponsors in the audience." "Hey, that's good, ain't it?" "Mm-hmm." "Good." "Yeah, that means we can finally go legit." "Hey, where's Kansas?" "I'm just wondering, is this..." "Is this just for fun, or what?" "Well, I mean, it's fun, but..." "I think there's somethin' more." "Me too." "Bye." "Come on." "Rebecca." "I told you not to see that cowboy." "Rebecca, it's not a big deal." "It's not?" "I'm 21 years old." "I should be able to have a boyfriend." "You can see him all you want when we're back home." "But you know the rules about fraternizing' with boys when we're on the road." "I'm not fraternizing with him." "I need you to be focused on the job that you are here to do." "I am focused." "Kansas, you see that boy again while we're out here, you can say good-bye to the Sweethearts!" "Well, you know what?" "That's fine by me." "'Cause I would choose love over trick riding any day." "What are y'all staring' at?" "Tend to your horses!" "Howdy, Ida." "Hi, sir." "Can you imagine it, Prince?" "Everyone just watching you and me?" "Ladies and gentlemen and worldwide audience watching' at home, please help me in welcomin' at only 12 years old, the greatest trick rider in the world," "Miss Ida Clayton!" "See, Ida Clayton rides for many reasons." "But tonight, she rides in honor of her daddy, who doesn't even know that she exists." "She was born to Elaine Clayton of Dalton, Oklahoma," "And a mysterious cowboy named Walker." "Ida's the youngest to perform the death-defyin' Hippodrome in competition!" "Hey, kid!" "What were you thinkin', pullin' a stunt like that out here?" "Come on." "Let's see." "My arm." "You all right?" "No." "It's gonna be okay." "I'm gonna go get you set down here." "How bad is she?" "Well, she's a little banged up, but I think she'll be all right." "She's definitely not riding for a few days." " Thanks for all your help." " Well, no problem." "Hey." "Take care, missy." "Thank you." "Mm." "Great." "Now we're down two." "Hi." "Don't you "hi" me." "You was practicin' the Hippodrome." "And I straight up told you not to." "I'm sorry." " Hey there, sweetie." " Don't call me sweetie." "Didn't mean anything by it." "I'm Mark Winters, Cactus Saddlery." "I'm looking for the Sweethearts of the Rodeo." "You'd best steer clear of the Sweethearts." " Excuse me?" " They only care about themselves." "Is that so?" "Yep." "You'd be wasting your time, as far as I'm concerned." "And who would you be?" "I used to be one of their riders." "Have a nice day." "But I almost had it!" "The trouble with you, Ida, is you just don't listen." "What?" "Those men from the saddle company that were comin' tonight... aren't." "What?" "Did Miss Grumpypants over here say somethin' to them?" "No." "Kansas did." " This was our big break." " Then why did you go and hurt your arm?" "It wasn't my fault I went and hurt my arm." "Dang it, Ida." "Whose fault was it then, the horse?" "Fine." "I'm sorry." "Well, you know what I'm really sorry about?" "Is that they ever let Kansas out of jail." "Ida, hush." "Kansas was there for you when no one else was." "Girl, you gotta stop worrying about other people's problems... and take a long, hard look at yourself." "Maybe you could call 'em up and explain everything?" "I don't have their number." "Terence!" "Dad!" "Terence!" "Dad!" "Augustus, call 911." "Terence!" "It's all right." "It's all right." "He's gonna be fine." "Come on." "He's gonna be all right." "Rebecca pulled everyone from the show." "There was no way we were performing that night." "There was one more show scheduled at home, but without Terence, it was lookin' like the Sweethearts were done." "But he'll be okay?" "Well, Mr. Parker has stage two." "It is treatable, but he has a long road ahead." " Thank you." " Thank you, Doctor." "It's okay." "It's all right." "All right." "It's gonna be all right." "You can't let him see you like this." "Hey." "Doctor said Terence needs to rest." "What if your mama's cooked up a big feast to welcome you home... and you're sittin' here missin' it?" "She doesn't cook." "Hey, what are you doing?" "What's it look like I'm doing?" "My arm feels better." "Don't think your mama didn't miss you." "I promise you." "She has." "And I promise you she's probably just sittin' there... waitin' for you to come home." "Thanks, Madison." "All right." "Go on now." "You have fun with your mama." "Madison was right." "Stop tryin' to replace my daddy!" "Stop!" "Ida!" "How you feeling?" "Well, you just rest, Mr. Parker." "Ida?" "Come on, boy." " She ran away." " What?" " Prince is gone too." " We better try and find her." "She looks like an angel, doesn't she?" "You'd have been proud of her out there on the road, Elaine." "She's a real trouper... just like you were when you were her age." "Really?" "Mm-hmm." "I sure am sorry I lost track of you after your daddy passed." "But I'm real grateful Ida's brought us all back together." "Me too." "Now, this lovely lady here is Nurse Joan, and she's gonna bust me out of here for that last rodeo tomorrow night." "I'm gonna appeal to her sense of adventure." "Would you mind passing me that box over there on the way out?" "Bless your heart." "I found this up in the attic a little while ago." "No idea how long it's been there." "It can wait." "I think your little girl needs to go home." "Yeah." "All right." "Take care." "You too." "Is that you?" "You have your grandfather's eyes." "I have your eyes." "You have my stubbornness." "You really miss him, don't you?" "Yeah." "I'm real..." "I like those..." "No." "It's okay." "Go ahead." "Those curtains in my room are real pretty." "I'm glad you like 'em." "I wasn't sure whether to put 'em up now... or wait till after your show tomorrow night." "I'm not gonna ride tomorrow." "What?" "I'm retiring." "No, honey, I'm not asking you to." "I know." "But" "All I ever do is..." "is talk, Mama." "When words come cheap, sometimes you just gotta find another way to say what you really mean." "I missed you." "What time is it?" "I wanted to show you the morning paper, see if I could get you to reconsider." "Terence isn't even gonna be there." "Besides, I'm sure they'd do far better without me." "I'm just gonna go back to sleep, okay?" "All right." "Love you." "Mom!" "You are not gettin' away from us that easy." "Did you think we wouldn't miss you?" "We're draggin' you out whether you like it or not." "Okay, okay, I'm going!"

"Thank you for being there for me." "Good boy." " Hi." " Hi, Ida." "I'm really sorry about the other night." "I mean, you seem like a really nice man, Mr. Rawley." "You can date my mama if you want to." "I'm..." "I'm sure she'd be happy." "No, I..." "Ida, I didn't come here to date your ma." "Ida, I..." "I came here... to ask permission... to introduce myself to my little girl." "Why do you need permission to..." "People call me Rawley." "Rawley West." "But my real name is Walker." "And I don't know why it didn't work out between me and your mom." "I'm sure it's my fault." "I was more bullheaded than the bulls I rode back then." "I didn't know about you, Ida." "And when I saw your..." "your confidence and your determination, it... convicted me, and..." "I..." "I can't get those beautiful brown eyes out of my head." "Hey, you know, um..." "You know what the difference is between a cowgirl and an angel?" "What?" "Angels can't ride as good." "Oh, sweet little girl." "Yeah." "I'm here now." "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to rodeo night in Clarksville." "The Sweethearts of the Rodeo... are a very special set of ladies I'm gonna introduce you to in a moment." "They ride with a purpose." "And tonight, they ride for a gentleman." "He dazzled us with his riding, and we wanna take care of that gentleman." "And the Sweethearts of the Rodeo wanna make sure... that he knows he's not going through it alone." "Ladies and gentlemen, help me and the Sweethearts and welcome Mr. Terence Parker." "Did they just say "welcome"?" " You mean that old coot is here?" "Dad?" "Guys, come on!" "Come on!" "There he is!" "Terence!" "Oh, my gosh!" "He's gonna see us perform!" "We got a show to do." "Come on." "He's gonna see us ride." "Well, that means he's feelin' better." "That's all that matters." "Kansas!" "What are you doing here?" "Look at you." "I know." "I heard y'all could use another rider." " Got my message." " Yeah, I did." "Well, can we go ridin' now?" "Yeah." "Mr. Parker's here." "He's here?" "He's out of the hospital." "Come on." "Ladies and gentlemen, here they are for your enjoyment, your cowgirls, your angels, your Sweethearts of the Rodeo!" "And now, ladies and gentlemen, a very special moment for us this evening." "Last, but certainly not least," "Ida Clayton will perform a surprise for the man... who believed in her when she didn't believe in herself." "Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Ida Clayton!" "All right, Ida, you can do it!" "Yeah, come on, Ida!" "Terence, Ida wants you to know this one's for you." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Whoo!" "Come on, girl." "Come on now." "That's my girl!" "That's my girl!" "Wow!" "Look at that!" "I guess you're wondering how everything else turned out." "Well, Terence ended up being just fine." "Said he had at least another hundred years or so in those boots." "Congratulations." "Kansas and her cowboy were truly meant to be." "Rebecca said that from now on, true love would always trump rules and regulations." " Rebecca, this is Justin." " I know who he is." "Come here." "Welcome." "Thank you, ma'am." "Thank you." "The man from the saddle company was mighty impressed by the show... and very excited about striking a sponsorship deal... to keep the Sweethearts of the Rodeo riding for years to come." "As for my mama and daddy," "I don't claim to know what the future will bring." "But I'm hoping the spark that once burned so brightly between them... just might rekindle itself." "And as for me, well, I sure learned how to fall, but I do believe that I also learned how to fly." "After all, I had gone searching' for my daddy, but did one better." "I found myself." "Yep, it was like the good Lord himself... was smilin' down on all of his cowgirls." "Of course, the only difference between cowgirls and angels, my daddy once told me, is that angels just can't ride as good."
