Quote from Jess

Walt Miller: Do you think he's really angry at me?
Jess: I think you need to talk to him.
Walt Miller: All I'm looking for is a second chance. You don't happen to believe in second chances, do you, Blue Eyes?

Quote from Jess

Walt Miller: Nicky only had one dream when he was a kid to own a family horse.
Jess: That is so surprising 'cause it just doesn't seem like... Nick hates living things, so, like, it just doesn't really seem like in line with what I know about him.
Walt Miller: All right, look... I want to buy a horse.
Jess: Uh-huh.
Walt Miller: For me and Nick to own together.
Jess: Oh!
Walt Miller: I found this beautiful horse. Gorgeous!
Jess: Right.
Walt Miller: Me and you are gonna talk the guy down.
Jess: I don't know how to do that.
Walt Miller: I'll take care of that.
Jess: Okay.

Quote from Jess

Walt Miller: Hey-ya, Dusty.

Jess: I know they're big.
Walt Miller: Perfect.

Quote from Jess

Jess: He had this whole thing ... he was gonna name the horse "A Father's Love" 'cause you guys always wanted to have a horse together.
Nick: Tell me you didn't give him money.

Quote from Nick

Nick: Dad, she will believe anything.
Jess: That's not true, Nick.
Nick: My real name is Jamil.
Jess: It is?
Nick: No, my name is not Jamil!
Jess: Nick, that was not fair.
Nick: It is Nick, you know that!
Jess: You told me in confidence.
Nick: How could you think my name was Jamil?
Jess: Well, he's weird.
Nick: That's a good point.

Quote from Nick

Walt Miller: Just wait for one hour. You see, I go meet the buyer, I sell them our horse for a huge profit, and because these suckers think our horse is Big Brown's nephew, they'll overpay. Blue Eyes gets her money back with interest.
Nick: Sounds like a great plan. We'll come with you. And I'll watch you give Jess her money back. Yeah!
Walt Miller: Please, please, don't do this to me.
Nick: We're doing it.
Walt Miller: No, no, you... You don't understand, you're not a sales guy, okay? He... he starts to sweat.
Jess: Nick only sweats if there's lying involved. And there's not lying involved, is there?
Nick: We're coming with, Dad.

Walt Miller: Yeah, I get a little agita myself every once in a while.
Nick: Hey, what's going on, everybody? How you guys doing? Nice to see you. This is my dad; I'm Nick. Cool half-turtleneck. How you doing, fellas?
Buyer 1: Good. Just getting over a little cold.
Nick: Good.

Quote from Nick

Buyer 1: He makes the white?
Walt Miller: This horse is more semen than he is horse. [all laugh]
Nick: That's disgusting.
Buyer 2: Good. We want semen.
Nick: Well, you guys are gonna get semen. You'll get a bunch of horse semen. Wait until it's next to a lady horse. Trust me.
