Brian – Fuck! It doesn’t look fluid!

Tina – I know! They need more training.

Brian – We don’t have time to send them back to LA for more training!

She sighs.

Tina – Shit! I’ll see what I can do …

Local restaurant, evening: The cast and crew are having dinner. Emma is smoking outside the restaurant when Tina approaches.

Tina – Evening …

Emma – Hi, Tina!

The producer leans against a car.

Tina – Thanks for coming! I felt that it was necessary to let you know.

Emma – I thank you for telling me! Wendy has not behaved as well as I hoped lately.

Tina – Yes … And I think that you showing up here gave her a good scare.

Emma – Do you think so?

Tina – Yes!

Emma – Is that what she told you?

The blonde chuckles.

Tina – She was upset that I told you. But I could sense that it changed her tone.

Emma – Good! Ever since she turned eighteen, she doesn’t listen to advice any longer.

Tina – How long do you intend to stay?

Emma – I don’t know. As long as you need me to keep my daughter on the straight and narrow.

Tina – I think she’ll be alright. I’ll keep an eye on her and will let you know if anything else happens.

Emma – Thank you! I don’t like leaving the younger ones with nannies but will return if necessary.

Tina – Don’t worry! I’ll let you know.

She smiles.

Western Skies stable, morning: Tina enters the stable and walks to Minnie’s stall with a carrot. The horse nickers and chomps on it. She walks out to one of the adjacent corrals on the back of the stable to see Jim tending to the sheep.

Tina – Morning, Jim!

Jim – Morning, Miss Tina!

He approaches her.

Tina – Do you know of any horse instructors in the neighborhood? Our actors need more training with horses.

Jim – The resorts around here always have instructors, Miss Tina. But they are all busy this time of the year.

She sighs.

Tina – Yeah … I know.

Bette’s cabin, afternoon: Tina rides Minnie to the cabin. She dismounts and ties the mare to a tree but then stops herself and caresses Minnie’s face with a mischievous smile, undoing the knot.
