[knock on door]Tyler: Some of Javi's crew said you were staying out by the rodeo. Thought you might be hungry.
(Shuts the door on his face then reopen it)
Faith: You find the dog?
Tyler: Of course I found the dog. How you doing after all that?
Faith: I mean, it doesn't matter. It's those people that...
Tyler: Yeah, well, you've seen the worst of this place. Thought it'd be nice for you to see something good. Want to take you somewhere. Think it might help. Come on.

announcer: Picking him up on the heel side. Can we get two legs? Oh, he slipped a leg. That'll be a plus five. The best part is, Stillwater, they are one of yours. So send them out with just a little bit...
Tyler: You ever see anything like this, city girl?
Faith: You keep calling me that. You know I grew up on a farm? Yeah. Sapulpa. Couple hours from here. This ain't my first rodeo.
(Faith looks at Tyler and had the most generous smile)
Tyler: Look at that. I learned something about you.
(Tyler smiles)

Tyler: So tell me this. What was your first tornado?
Faith: Tell me yours.
Tyler: I was eight. Driving with my aunt. Sirens are going. All of a sudden, this vortex just lowers right down in the center of the road. I was just mesmerized. Then I looked at my aunt, and she's got this look on her face, and... I realized in that moment I was supposed to be scared.
Faith: Were you scared?
Tyler: Yeah. Yeah, I was.
[crowd cheering]
Faith: Oh, the Tornado Wrangler is scared of tornadoes.
[scoffs]
Tyler: Okay, Sapulpa.
[announcer talking indistinctly]
[cheering continues]
Faith: Do you know him?
Tyler: I used to compete. Got my head stomped on by one too many bulls. Thought college might be better for my brain.
Faith: You're scared of tornadoes but not of riding bulls?
Tyler: Well, tornadoes, bulls, same thing. Fear's the reason you do it. You don't face your fears, you ride 'em.
