YOUNG JACK:

**Hey, what about the announcer...? Oh, right, she's still frozen.**

((Jack sighs.))

** I worry about that guy MONROE. I hope he don't hide his light under a bushel, so to speak. We'll have t'keep an eye on him so he don't go completely into the closet again. I'm gonna put a big article in the newsletter about the Gastronomic Getaway Cruise along the Riviera next spring. He needs t'see that a lot o' the world is more enlightened about eats than they are out here in the sticks, n'est ce pas?. Us 'nomes gotta watch out fer each other's all I'm sayin'.**

BULL:

**Last I saw of that... announcer?... she was red-lining it for Wyoming. Something about a man she wanted to see. What is it about those Wyoming boys, anyway? You got any idea, Jack?

And then, when I was sitting around in my pyjamas, sipping cow-ppucino and listening to NPR, I heard that she was selling her stuff on Ebay: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5767783.**

YOUNG JACK:

((Realization dawns on him.))

**Ohhhhh.... So we just did all that without an announcer eggin' me on. I think you let me win, that ain't fair. I was hopin' to hear the equivalent of "Sure looks like a winnin' ride to me."**

((Jack hops off the Bull.))

**Well, guess I better head over to that Dance Hall now, get this over with...** ((Jack looks up for a minute.)) **Hey, you comin'? Wouldn't mind some more Tango lessons.**

BULL:

**Sorry, Jack... my therapist tells me that I should probably avoid bars from now on. You know, bad to relive traumatic experiences, and so on. (Plus my actor isn't going to be around this afternoon and doesn't want to hold up the thread.) Anyway, you've gotten good enough at those lessons to dance by yourself, cowboy.**

**Oh, and a hint? Watch out for ladies in red. You know how bulls react when they see red? Yeah. Just... watch out, cowboy.**

YOUNG JACK:

**Well now, I don't mind seein' red, just don't necessarily want a lady to be wearin' it. But I'll take yer warnin' inta consideration.**

((Jack approaches the Dance Hall, feeling a little giddy about winning a rodeo tournament, even if the bull did let him win. He saunters over to the bar and orders a drink.))

BARTENDER:

**Hey bud, what'll it be? Ain't you the one who just won that ride out there? You must have a passel a prize money comin to ya, so's you can order a fancy drink or sumpin.**

((Bartender obviously schmoozing for a hefty tip from the winning rider.))

YOUNG JACK:

((Jack's young, but he ain't innocent. He knows what the bartender's about.))

** Yeah, I'll just have a beer. Nothin' special for me tonight. I gotta save that money for something I really want.**

((Jack notices the girl in red out of the corner of his eye. She keeps looking at him and making weird faces.))

Hey, what's the matter with that girl? ((Jack nods his head toward the girl in red.))

Who me?

YOUNG JACK:

**Yeah, you. But I was asking the Bartender here so he can deliver an alternative of a classic line from some movie that we all watched.**
