Yellowstone - John Duttons daughter

An acceptable surrender

"Well, what do you think?" Tessa asks running over to her dad, Kash followed after, they had been helping the wranglers to finish the new barn.

"We should have done this years ago." John replies, "We can run stockers out here 'till December."

"That Rips new hire?" John adds looking up at the girl on the roof.

"Yessir." Rip answers for Tessa walking over

"How did she get up there?" John asks

"Shit, I haven't figured that one out yet." Rip admits

"She ran up it like a damn beetle." Lloyd says coming over, "Never seen anything like it." They all look up confused

"Colby, what time it is?" Jimmy asks

"You know, Jimmy, when the sun's directly above you, what time do you think that is?" Kash questioned turning to face him

"Jimmy, you got somewhere you need to be?" John adds

"Oh, no, it's just the qualifier in Livingston starts at 3." Jimmy tells him "So if we're done here, is it okay to...?"

"What's the matter, I don't pay you enough?" Asks John

"No, sir. No, I just been saving it up." Jimmy tells him, "Finally got enough to get my pro card, so... Tonight's the first rodeo that counts toward my standings."

"It's a rough way to make a living, Jimmy." John tells him, "You break an arm chasing buckles, it's hard to... it's hard to stay on any man's payroll."

"Yes, sir." Jimmy nods as another trucks drives in.

"Here goes the day." John muttered walking over to Jamie.

"Governor wants to see us." He tells his dad

"You mean the Governor wants to see you." John corrects, "I'm retired. And enjoying it."

"She said both of us." Jamie reassured, "I can bring the chopper out here. We can be in Helena in an hour."

"Sounds important." John replies

"Sounds like it." Jamie agrees

"If it's that important, she shouldn't mind coming to see me. And I'll be at the rodeo in Livingston." John adds

"Well, we can get back by..." Jamie try's

"I said I'll be at the rodeo." John cut him off, "I'm sure her voters would enjoy watching her partake in something they actually care about."

John turned back to the others and walked away from Jamie.

"Rip" he called, "decide who's stayin' with the herd tonight. I'm gonna take this outfit to town and we're, uh... we'll go watch Jimmy rodeo."

"Okay." Rip nods, "Hey, Teeter. You're with the herd tonight." The girl holds her hand up signalling she understood, "Colby, you stay with her, too."

"Who am I to come between you and nature, Colby?" Ryan chuckled as Colby looked around in disbelief.

"Hey, real, quick, who's on top?" Jimmy jokes

"I don't think there's any debate about that." Ryan replied, "We're gonna go get cleaned up, go into town. You have a great night, buddy. Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"You know, I want both of you to just drop dead right in front of me right now." Colby tells them both "That would be a dream."

"Oh, I think you're gonna have a new dream in a little while." Ryan chuckled,

"All right, you all have fun. And take care of our friend, okay?" Jimmy calls up to Teeter, "And go slow, he's a romantic."

"Hey, hey, you look like a plucked mother fuckin' chicken." She calls as they walk away, "Boc, boc, boc!"
