02x06 - Love Is In the Air

[bunniefuu]

StevieWe're gonna crush you

in the flag and barrel race.

PhilIn your dreams, Stevie.

Cross County is going to lick Pine Hollow, hollow.

Oh, please.

[Growl]

PhilDoing anything Friday night?

Who knows?

I might go see a movie.

[Horse grunts]

Well, I'm seeing that new band,

Rocket Juice.

Got two tickets, actually.

What do you say?

About what?

Just thinking,

if you weren't doing anything else, I...

Go to see Rocket Juice?

Yeah.

With you?

Yeah, if you like?

So, do you want to come or not?

Sure. I'll come.

[Horses nicker]

Carole, can I have the currycomb?

Thanks.

Guys, guys, you'll never guess!

Lisa and CaroleWhat?!

I got asked to Rocket Juice!

Rocket Juice? Huge!

And you're going with Phil?

Yup.

Phil asked you out on a real date?

Yeah, I guess.

Carole and LisaOh, my God!

VeronicaWho cares about Rocket Juice?!

Boring.

CaroleListen to Little Miss Green Eyes.

VeronicaOh, and just look at Mr. Heartache.

Can't even stay in the saddle.

Oh, no! What happened?

PhilHe threw a shoe.

I won't be able to ride him home.

Well, he can stay here.

I'll look after him.

PhilBut how can I keep him in training

for the competition?

Oh, right,

so I guess that'll be your excuse

when we whip your butts?

No way!

[Giggles]

She has no idea about boys.

Mm-hmm.

[Hugo grunts]

[Grunts]

Hugo's a born jumper.

The best in France.

I'm not ready to jump him yet, Red.

The longer you put it off,

the harder it'll get.

Perhaps you should take him out.

He likes you.

What's important here is your relationship with Hugo.

Do you think I don't know that?!

[Mocking Stevie] Ooh, poor Teddy.

LisaHe can stay here.

CaroleI'll look after him.

Oh, get over it, you lot.

So you planning to do anything

about how you look?

LisaWhat do you mean "how she looks"?

What's she's going to wear,

that's all.

Wear when?

On the big "date."

Not that it's any of your business,

but I'll wear what I usually wear.

[Scoffs] Oh, wow!

Stevie's usual chic and cool style.

So out there.

[Huffs] why don't you go stick your head

in a feed bag, Veronica.

[Laughs]

But it's stylish now not to be stylish.

That is why you look so grungy, isn't it?

Don't take any notice of her.

She's such a creep.

I could take Phil off Stevie

any time I wanted,

just like that.

Now I think we must practice for the competition.

The events are not part of the classic repertoire,

but we must seek to achieve excellence

in all things,

even the egg and spoon race,

eh, Carole?

CaroleOf course.

And you, Stevie?

You bet.


Good. And so, we remember then

that preparation and practice

equal perfect performance, do we not?

That's what I always try to tell them.

[Horse grunts]

Stevie, your horse is not happy?

Usually she's so good.

Nothing physical.

She needs some serious work.

Perhaps you should go first.

We'll start with the flat race.

OK.

Face it, Stevie,

it's not Belle, it's you.

Oh, get real.

VeronicaStevie's heart isn't in it.

She doesn't want to beat her boyfriend.

She's gonna let the whole team down.

[Exhales]

Not us. We'll show them all.

DorotheeVery good, Stevie!

You're up next, Kristi.

You really could use some advice

on your make-up.

Well, next time you go on your next date,

why don't you show me.

[Laughter]

Temper, temper!

Feeling insecure, are we?

[Whinnies]

I've been watching him.

He's hardly left my sight.

PhilAt least he doesn't seem lame.

That's something.

Oh, Dr. Judy came before

to look at one of the ponies

and I asked her to check out Teddy as well.

What did she say?

[Smirks] Teddy's fine to compete

once he's got his new shoe.

Thanks.

I knew how worried you'd be.

I know you want to be home with me.

I get the message. [Teddy nickers]

The trailer's out of action.

Mum can't get over till tomorrow.

I'm not surprised you miss him.

He's such a fine horse.

He's the best horse I've ever had.

I'm glad you like him.

Veronica and Phil[Muffled chatter]

CaroleShe's just trying to destroy your confidence.

Don't let her get to you.

She's right.

My clothes are so embarrassing.

Everything's so ancient.

Will you come to the mall with me tonight?

I've got to find something...

Cool?

Yeah.

I can't. Not tonight.

OK. No, no, I-I really can't.

I'm meeting Dad's new girlfriend.

Can we go shopping another night?

Yeah. Sure.

[Sighs] You're right.

It's no big deal.

I mean, Veronica... [Sighs]

why would Phil get interested in her?

Saddle Club♪ I'm gonna be the best that I can ♪

ScooterHi there. You in for a meal?

CaroleWaiting for Dad.

ScooterOh, that's right, he booked.

ChefScooter!

ScooterI'll be with you in a sec.

Carole. How are you doing?

Hi. Do I know you?

Not yet. But hey,

might be your lucky day.

So, you ride, huh?

CaroleYeah.

So, are you any good?

Yeah, actually, I'm very good.

Yeah, I like a girl with an ego.

So, who are you

and how do you know me?

It's a small world.

Col. HansonThere you are. [Chuckles]

Sorry we're late.


WhitneySo this is Carole.

I've really been looking forward to meeting you.

CaroleMrs. Dane.

She's lovely,

just as I thought you would be.

Oh, and I see you've met Murray.

Murray?

Yeah, so, you two have been getting to know each other.

Been talking about horses.

Col. HansonMmm. Well, young Murray here is Whitney's son.

Ah.

I knew they'd get on.

WhitneyI think you two will have a lot in common.

Like I said, it's a small world.

Hey, boy.

It's gonna be OK.

DorotheeI told you, he likes you.

Red, you pretend to be just a stablehand,

but you understand things.

I understand horses.

Not just horses.

I had an accident

and it is still in here.

You understand this better than anybody else.

I had a special horse once.

He was my best buddy.

Did something happen?

I lost him in a barn fire.

You lost your greatest friend.

RedHis name was Joker.

Boy, he could jump.

I just wish I could...

see him once more,

ride him once more.

You must think I am very weak.

When we've had a bad fall,

we're all weak.

I'm so afraid.

Hugo would jump the Grand Canyon

with you on his back.

[Knocking on door]

Col. HansonIt's me.

Yeah, come in.

You feeling all right back there?

You were a little quiet.

Just a bit tired, that's all.

Col. HansonMurray's had a rough trot of it.

His dad was one of my oldest friends.

I know.

Whitney's been very worried about him.

He's taking his dad's death real bad.

That explains it.

Explains what?

Before you arrived, he was being a real loser.

Mmm...

Remember when your mom died?

Hmm?

I mean, you could be a bit, um...

out there.

Yeah, I guess.

Hmm.

He really loves horses, too.

I was just thinking

if he had spent some time at Pine Hollow...

However,

he doesn't like that idea.

But Dad, it wouldn't be right

if we forced him.

No.

Guess not.

Love you, sweetheart.

Good night.

[Exhales]

[Crickets chirp]

[Horse whinnies]

[Nickers]

[Grunts and whinnies]

[Nickers]

[Whimpering]

[Whinny]

[Repeated pained grunt]

No! [Panting]

LisaI don't know why you're carrying on.

Yeah, but you always look really good.

I don't.

Lisa:, Yes, you do! You look like Stevie!

But you don't get it.

When a boy asks you out, it's different.

You mean because I've never been asked out

by some stupid boy

I don't know anything?

You think Phil's stupid?

No, but this whole conversation is.

Look, Stevie, if it was me,

I'd just want to be myself.

And if this is what happens

just because a boy asks you out,

who needs it?

I'm gonna find Carole.

[Groan]


"Sick of yourself and the way you look?"

Oh, yeah.

"Then try our one-stop makeover special."

CaroleUnbelievable!

And he looks me up and down

and he goes, "Are you any good?"

What kind of creep is that?

CaroleAnd all this time he knows who I am

and I don't know who he is,

until Dad and Whitney show up

and it's her son!

And this might be your stepbrother?

Ugh!

Dad wouldn't, would he?

[Hugo grunts and whinnies]

You'll be fine.

Just trust your horse.

CaroleIs she gonna try the jumps?

Yup.

[Exhale]

[Sighs] Let's leave the past behind.

Allez, Hugo.

[Nickers]

LisaYou make it look so easy.

Olympics, here we come.

RedTake it to the limit, Dorothee.

[Hugo whinnies]

Way to go!

Stevie'll be kicking herself

when she hears what she's missed.

Oh.

Hi.

Hi.

I thought Dad said

you didn't wanna join up.

Can't a guy change his mind?

[Clopping of hooves] [Horses neigh]

I can't stand him.

At least he's not bad-looking.

MurraySo after the egg and spoon routine,

I suppose you do the dressage?

We're practicing for a competition.

Egg and spoon routine...

sounds huge.

If you're so good,

how come you're hanging around

like a wannabe?

All talk, no action.

PhilHey, you guys. Is Stevie here?

Haven't seen her.

Oh, she was supposed to meet me here.

[Huffs]

Have you seen Stevie?

I don't know.

I've seen someone who says she's Stevie.

Hi.

Stevie?

Who else?

Wow!

Y-you like it? Really?

It's fantastic.

You look good, too.

Stevie! Wow!

CaroleAmazing!

Phil, um,

your mum's waiting to load Teddy

into the trailer.

Phil?

OK.

Hang on, wait for me.

[Whickering]

We're off now, Belle.

PhilWe're going home. See ya.

[Belle whickering]

Hold on, I'll be right back.

Belle! Belle, it's me.

[Whinnies]

[Gasps]

[Belle whinnies and nickers]

[Whinnying]

BothAhh. Oh.

[Neighing]

LisaSteady, Belle. Steady.

PhilAre you OK?

How come she went off like that?

StevieThis is so not Belle.

No, no, she's all right now.

Oh, no! Look at me.

Oh, no! I can't go out now.

You've got to. I've got the tickets.

Oh, look at my hair.

VeronicaPoor Stevie, what a shame.

Looks like you won't be going anywhere now.

CaroleAt least you changed here.

You've got your other clothes to wear.

StevieLisa, that's Veronica's stuff.

All's fair in love and w*r.

I knew it.

Veronica never leaves home without it.

Yes!


Come on!

Stevie will be so upset at missing the band.

Yeah, well, it looks like

I'll be chucking the tickets away.

Oh, no! Um...

Stevie wouldn't want you to do that!

She'd want you to go and have a good time.

It wouldn't be the same by myself.

Oh, no, not on your own.

I mean, if someone went with you.

I mean, I could get ready in no time.

Well, thanks, Veronica,

But...

Great!

You mean, this is all right?

You bet. I mean...

you looked fabulous before,

but this is good.

You look like...

the real Stevie.

CaroleWell, if you're gonna go,

you'd better go.

Suffer, Veronica!

[Huffs]

Do you kids always have this much fun?

[Huffs]

AnnouncerHere we are on this beautiful day.

And it's hard to believe that after rounds

the teams are tied.

The scores are even!

Yeah, it's neck and neck.

All thanks to Kristi,

dropping the egg like an idiot.

I'm not an idiot.

StevieOK, everybody!

AnnouncerThe last event is the flag and barrel slalom.

This is it. Get ready.

Carole, you're first!

AnnouncerThis will break the deadlock, folks.

The first riders are under starter's orders.

Carole Hanson from Pine Hollow

and Al Tyson from Cross County.

Go, Carole!

Let's go, honey!

RedAnd on your marks...

ride! [Spectators cheer]

Pine Hollow!

TeammatesWin! You can do it!

My stirrup...

it's broken.

[Groans] That's all we need.

[Applause]

BothGo! Come on, let's go!

AnnouncerWay to go, Carole.

Giving Lisa Atwood a flying start.

What are we going to do?

What are you going to do?

[Spectators cheering "Go, Lisa! Woo!"]

I can't ride like this!

MurrayI'll ride her for you.

CaroleYou don't know the horse.

MurrayOh, don't sweat it, we'll be fine.

AnnouncerWell, folks, there seems to be a problem.

Kristi Cavanaugh is giving up her place to...

well, I don't have a name for this young man.

Murray! Oh!

[Overlapping yells of encouragement]

PhilHe's good. Who is he?

A friend of Carole's.

OK, Stevie, moment of truth.

It's gonna hurt, Phil.

Let's go!

StevieCome on! Belle, come on!

Belle!

SpectatorsAww! [Laughter]

WomanWhy aren't they moving?

[Whitney laughs]

Love is in the air.

AnnouncerI think we're gonna have to declare this

a "no-contest," folks.

I've heard that true love never runs smooth,

but in this case, it's not running at all.

[Crowd laughing]

WomanAw! So cute.

GirlOh, such a lovely couple.

Girl They're double-dating.

[Laughter]

Carole and Lisa[Whistles] Kissy kissy! Stevie and Phil!

So the horses run things here, do they?

If you don't like it, why don't you just go away?

I don't know. Mum thinks I need a change of scene.

Col. HansonThey seem to be getting on.

Just like their parents.

Why don't we just try and get along?

Why would I even bother?

Because my mum's going away on business

and I'm going to be staying with you.
