Pure Country 2: The Gift

What have you got there, Matthew?

I got speed, Joseph. I got speed.

Speed, huh?

Afraid we don't have much use for more speed these days.

Things are moving fast enough down there as it is.

Well, but the...

- Get it. - Damn. Oh, I shouldn't have said...

I got it. Oh, fast little bugger. I didn't mean to say "bugger" either.

- Well, put it on the shelf. - Could we just toss it down and see if...?

- Speed is gonna have to wait. - Could I just put it right there?

Wow.

What have you got there, Pedro?

Uh, it's a voice.

That's a big voice.

- Oh, yeah. - Very big voice.

And soft and sweet as any aria...

...but strong and powerful as anything before.

Can we send that one down? Send it right down.

- Easy, easy. Matthew. - I'm sorry. He's listening.

That voice is an incredible gift.

And with a great gift comes great responsibilities.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

What?

There are rules that must be followed.

Oh, the rules, the rules.

- Yeah. - Rules, rules. Um, um...

Never lie.

Always be fair.

Never break a promise.

Yeah.

Those are tough.

Well, wanna drop one?

Ugh, to those who much is given, much is expected from them.

Him.

Well, it's time.

Let her rip.

Dream big, reach high

Don't ever be afraid

Just spread your wings and fly

With a heart full of faith A whole lot of luck

And some love to see you through

Dream big and it just might come true

Dream big, reach high

Don't ever be afraid Just spread your wings and fly

With a heart full of faith, a whole lot of luck And some love to see you through

Dream big and it just might come true

Dream big, reach high

Don't ever be afraid Just fly, fly, fly

With a heart full of faith, a whole lot of luck And love to see you through

Dream big and it just might come true

Dream big

Reach high

Dream big, reach high

Don't ever be afraid Just spread your wings and fly

With a heart full of faith, a whole lot of luck And love to see you through

Dream big and it just might come

True

Hallelujah. Yeah.

- Something wrong? - No.

Billy Connelly is a big fat idiot.

Bobbie, be fair, never lie...

...never break a promise. - Never break a promise.

But he said I was too poor to have a mommy...

...that my daddy didn't want me.

Oh.

Honey...

...I told you, your mommy's in heaven.

But what about my daddy? Where is he?

Well...

...you're old enough to know now, so I'll tell you the whole story.

Your daddy was a rodeo cowboy.

He rode into town on a big, white horse.

He had a smile that could make the sun come out...

...and eyes that could calm a wild mare.

He met your mother and there were fireworks.

They had a beautiful, wonderful love affair.

And then the rodeo moved on.

So he climbed back up on his big, white horse...

...and he rode out of town.

And that's it. Your daddy was a rodeo cowboy.

Wow. A rodeo cowboy.

You left me for her

She left you for him

Now you're back again, begging

Saying it was a moment of weakness Couldn't help falling

But now your love for me is rock solid

If your love was a rock I'd throw it through the window

Skip it 'cross the water Watch it sink to the bottom

I'd crush it with a hammer Then glue it back together

Just to roll it down the mountain Hope it never stops

If your love was a rock

You know it's true

That's what I'd do

Thank you all very much.

Now get ready for some hard riding...

...as we welcome you to the 25th annual Cloverton Rodeo.

Give a big round of applause to Bobbie Thomas and her band.

You all right?

- Yeah. - Heh.

Thanks.

I really enjoyed your singing.

Ladies and gentlemen...

... welcome to the annual Cloverton Rodeo and Stampede.

Thanks.

Bobbie, I am so very sorry.

I'm not sure what happened. Listen, I'm just glad you ain't hurt. Heh.

You ain't hurt, are you?

Bobbie?

Hey, you all right?

Honey, did you hit your head?

Do you like my singing, Wes?

Of course. Yeah, yeah, I love it.

I think you sing as good as the people that sing in the Grand Ole Opry.

Uh, better.

Let's give a warm welcome to the Cloverton flag girls.

About tonight, you should wear something special.

Special? For what?

Well, because it's gonna be a real special night for us.

Oh, my God.

Ella?

- Ella. - What are you screaming about, child?

At least I stay home when I look like this.

What happened to you?

Ella, I have a problem.

Yes, you do, child. Come here.

- What do you think of Wes? - That he's a nice boy.

Do you think I should marry him?

- Did he ask you? - No.

But I think he's going to.

- Tonight. - Do you love him?

I don't know.

He's the best catch in this little town.

Except for...

- Do you believe in love at first sight? - I believe in everything.

But how do you know when you're in love?

- What's it feel like? - Oh, that's easy.

When you're in love...

...it's like the sun rises and sets on that person's smile.

They can make you fly higher than you've ever soared...

...and sink lower than you've ever sunk.

You feel like you don't know what you're doing half the time...

...but you know exactly what's going on the other half.

It's the most beautiful feeling in the world.

It's like taking a bath in warm tapioca pudding.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Have you ever been in love?

Nope. Never took a bath in pudding either.

Now go take a shower.

Gee, thanks.

- Hello, Weston. - Hello, Ella.

Uh, ma'am.

Huh.

- Don't you look fine tonight. - Oh, well, thanks. Heh, heh.

Do I?

Well, come on inside. Bobbie's almost ready.

Okay. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Um...

You're welcome.

Well, just have a seat here.

She'll be down in just a bit.

- Can I get you anything to drink? - Nope. No, thank you.

How about a napkin?

I'm sorry?

Uh, oh, oh. No, thank you. I'm just a little excited tonight.

Not excited, you know, but anxious.

Anxious.

- I'll get you that napkin. - Okay.

Poor child.

Okay, I'm ready.

Hey. Heh, heh.

- You all right? - Uh, yeah. Yeah.

- Wow. You look great. - Thank you.

Yeah, sure.

- Here's your napkin. - Napkin? For what?

Uh, nothing, ha. You ready?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Thanks, Ella. Ma'am.

Close your eyes.

Step down.

- Why are your hands all wet? - Shh, shh. Just a little bit further.

- You sure you can't see? - I'm sure.

Okay, step down. Just keep going. There you go.

This needs to be perfect.

- Where are we going? - Shh, shh. Just a couple more steps.

There you go. One more.

Okay, here we go. All right. Now face me.

- Don't peek, okay? - I'm not peeking.

Okay, you can open your eyes now.

Isn't she perfect?

- A pickup truck? - Yeah.

No. Not just a pickup truck.

I mean, it's a automatic, four-wheel drive.

It's perfect.

- That's what this is about? - Oh, yeah.

- Our special night? - Yes. Yeah. Yeah, why?

What did you think? Ha. I mean, look at it, it's gorgeous.

Yeah, she's beautiful. Oh, man.

Yeah, l... Wait, wait. Bobbie?

- Where are you going? - A pickup truck.
