Bringing Ashley Home

: ALL RIGHT, PARTY ANIMALS,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE ANYWAY?

LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE!

COME ON!

WHOO!

YOU'RE INTO THAT GUY?

I DON'T THINK SO.

YES! YES! THANK YOU!

TO US!

NOT TAKING SHOTS ANYMORE.

TO SISTERS!

TO SISTERS.

WHERE DID THOSE COME FROM?

I DIDN'T ORDER ANOTHER ROUND.

I DID!

NO, NO, I'M GOOD WITH MY BEER.

TO US!

YOU'RE CRAZY.

ONE MORE TIME.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GO.

OKAY. HERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT HAPPENED?

MAYBE I COULD COME OUT AND HANG OUT WITH YOU

IN SACRAMENTO FOR A WHILE.

OH, YEAH?

PRETTY PLEASE?

I DON'T KNOW.

SAY YES, SAY YES.

ONLY IF YOU LET ME WIN.

NEVER!

THAT WAS SO GOOD.

THAT WAS SUPER FUN.

WATCH THE ROAD, ASH.

GOOD NIGHT! WE NEED A TAXI.

TAXI?

THE LESS WALKING YOU HAVE TO DO, THE BETTER.

I'M WALKING FINE. I AM GOOD.

LET'S JUST WAIT. ASHLEY!

SHE'S STILL IN BED?

HAS SHE BEEN DOING THIS A LOT?

NON-STOP SINCE SHE MOVED BACK IN.

WELL, SHE WANTS TO COME BACK TO CALIFORNIA WITH ME.

I'M SURE SHE DOES.

LIBBA, YOU THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT THAT.

THERE'S A GOOD JUNIOR COLLEGE.

I MEAN, WE COULD GET HER ENROLLED IN SOME CLASSES.

IT'D BE GOOD FOR HER,

SOME RESPONSIBILITY.

COME ON, IT'D...

I MISS HER.

IT'D BE FUN.

GOOD CLEAN FUN.

SHE COULD USE THAT.

UM, I COULD TOTALLY HAVE A BABY.

YOU SERIOUS?

SERIOUSLY, I COULD GET MARRIED

AND HAVE, LIKE, A COUPLE KIDS.

OKAY.

WHAT KIND OF HUSBAND ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

A BIKER?

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A BIKER,

JUST SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW?

SOMEONE WITH A FEW TATTOOS OR SOMETHING.

OF COURSE.

DON'T WORRY,

I'M NOT GOING TO GET MARRIED BEFORE YOU.

OH, YEAH? WHY'S THAT?

WELL, BECAUSE WE PRACTICED YOUR WEDDING SO MUCH

WHEN WE WERE KIDS.

OH, MY GOSH, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT.

REMEMBER THE... THE CHEESY TIARA I WORE?

OH, MY GOD! "BRIDE TO BE!"

OH, MY GOD.

WE WORE THAT-- YOU WORE THAT--

SO MANY TIMES.

YUP, YUP...

-I WAS ALWAYS THE HUSBAND! -HEY, IT WAS MY WEDDING.

EXACTLY!

WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU TAKING PICTURES OF?

THE BARN!

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS TAKE PICTURES

OF SUCH WEIRD STUFF?

BECAUSE I AM AN ARTISTE.

DO I LOOK PRETTY?

ALWAYS.

THANK YOU.

THINK I COULD BE A MODEL?

I DON'T KNOW, YOU'D HAVE TO BE ON TIME.

EVEN IF I'M A SUPERMODEL?

STILL GOT TO BE ON TIME, ASH.

HOW MUCH FURTHER TILL SACRAMENTO?

I DON'T KNOW, I'VE LOST TRACK.

SO, HOW DID YOU MEET HIM?

UH, WELL, THERE'S A VETERINARY PRACTICE

UP IN THE FOOTHILLS

THAT I GO TO EVERY WEEK.

IT'S THE SAME TIME, SAME DAY, AND, UH,

THERE WAS THIS REALLY CUTE GUY

WHO WOULD BE JOGGING BY.

CUTE SHORTS?

VERY CUTE, YEAH.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'D SEE EACH OTHER ALL--

ASH, CAN YOU HELP, PLEASE?

UM, AND THEN, ONE DAY, I NOTICED THAT HE WAS LIMPING,

SO, UH, I STOPPED.

THAT WAS HIM

TOTALLY TRYING TO GET YOU IN HIS CAR TO MURDER YOU.

NO, I THINK HE JUST PULLED A HAMSTRING.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT. YOU DIDN'T KNOW HIM.

HE COULD TOTALLY HAVE BEEN A MURDERER.

DECIDE FOR YOURSELF. YOU'LL MEET HIM SATURDAY.

ALL RIGHT, SO,

I AM GOING TO GET YOU A NOTEPAD, AND A CALENDAR

SO YOU KNOW WHEN THE PAYMENT FOR THIS IS DUE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY MADE YOU CO-SIGN ON THIS.

IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS THAT EXPENSIVE.

ASH, YOUR CREDIT SUCKS.

YOU DO KNOW THAT

EVERY TIME YOU'RE EVEN A DAY LATE ON YOUR PAYMENT,

IT LOWERS YOUR SCORE.

WELL, THAT'S STUPID.

IT JUST MAKES IT HARDER.

...THEN YOU GO THE OTHER WAY, AND YOU'VE GOT SAN FRANCISCO.

I LOVE IT HERE.

I MEAN, I LOVE THE TREES AND THE RIVER, AND...

I MEAN, IT'S CALIFORNIA, DUH?

WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE HERE?

SO, WHAT TYPE OF WORK YOU LOOKING FOR?

I MIGHT KNOW SOME PEOPLE.

UM, I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, I COULD BE, LIKE...

LIKE, A MODEL, OR, YOU KNOW, A WAITRESS, OR--

WELL, I WOULD PROBABLY NEED, LIKE, SPECIAL TRAINING,

BUT I COULD BE, LIKE,

YOU KNOW, LIKE, THE WEATHER PERSON ON TV?

WELL, SHE'S WAITRESSED,

AND, UH, SHE WORKED WITH PRESCHOOL KIDS.

SHE WAS REALLY GOOD AT THAT.

THAT WAS FUN. IT WAS FUN.

SO, UH, LIBBA SAYS

YOU'RE THINKING OF JUNIOR COLLEGE?

MAYBE.

I MEAN, IF I COULD DO IT.

YOU CAN DO IT.

SHE'S ALWAYS SAYING THAT.

SO... I THINK JUNIOR COLLEGE

IS GOING TO HAVE WAIT TILL NEXT SEMESTER--

THE CLASSES START SUPER EARLY ANYWAY.

WE CAN GET YOU AN ALARM CLOCK.

THERE'S SOME RESTAURANTS HIRING,

BUT I'D HAVE TO HAVE A CAR TO GET THERE.

I FOUND THIS REALLY COOL USED CAR,

BUT, OF COURSE, THEY SAID

THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO CO-SIGN FOR IT.

UH, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE COULD SIT DOWN

AND LOOK AT WHAT THE MONTHLY WOULD BE,

AND LOOK AT YOUR OTHER BILLS, AND SEE WHAT IT ALL LOOKS LIKE.

COOL.

I MET A COUPLE GIRLS, AND WE'RE GOING OUT TONIGHT.

OH.

WANT TO COME WITH?

NO, I'VE GOT TO GET UP EARLY TO WORK.

SOUNDS FUN, THOUGH.

IT'S GOOD YOU'RE MEETING PEOPLE.

HEY, DOC.

AW, IT'S OKAY.

SHH...

IT'S OKAY, YEAH...

THANK YOU.

GOOD GIRL. IT'S OKAY.

GOOD GIRL. CAN YOU HOLD THAT FOR A SEC?

YUP.

THANKS. COME ON. GOOD GIRL.

IT'S OKAY.

MARES DON'T USUALLY REJECT THEIR FOALS.

WHEN THEY DO, IT'S ROUGH.

OH, WE HAVE, UM, THE NEW BETA KIT

WITH THE NEW IGC KIT.

WITH YOU?

YEAH.

THESE ARE THE NEW BETA KITS.

WE'VE BEEN SELLING A LOT OF THEM.

WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON HIM FOR THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS.

WE SHOULD KNOW BY THEN IF HE'S OUT OF THE WOODS.

GREAT.

LISTEN, SORRY TO HAVE DRAGGED YOU ALL THE WAY OUT HERE.

OH, NO, IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU

OUT OF THE OFFICE,

WHERE EVERY GOOD VET BELONGS.

SO, UH, YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO ORDER

MORE OF THOSE KITS.

YEAH, PROBABLY.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL SEE YOU NEXT FRIDAY.

YEAH, HAVE A GREAT WEEK.

BYE.

YOU GOT IN KIND OF LATE LAST NIGHT, HUH?

IT WASN'T THAT BAD.

YOU WERE ALREADY ASLEEP.

HEY...
