00:04:24They won't know the difference out here.
00:04:26All they ask a teacher is, can she count up to a hundred?
00:04:30We'll be getting into medicine bowl in a few minutes.
00:04:33Your luggage will be out on the platform.
00:04:48Oh, we ain't in yet, Miss.
00:04:50Some cow outfit's bringing in a herd,
00:04:52and they've got them spread all over the tracks.
00:04:54What are you standing around there for?
00:04:56Get those dogs out of there.
00:04:58Why doesn't someone get out and shoot them off?
00:05:00You don't dare get down among them cattle on foot.
00:05:02They're wild.
00:05:03They'll translate a bit in a minute.
00:05:05I started for Texas far away
00:05:09I left my darling girl behind
00:05:14She said her heart was only mine
00:05:22It's all right, folks.
00:05:23These cattle never seen a train before.
00:05:24They're just as curious as you are.
00:05:26Well, they've seen it now.
00:05:27So get them off of that.
00:05:28Yes, sir.
00:05:29We'll be moving along.
00:05:30Just as soon as little Agnes finishes her lunch.
00:05:36You look, have a heart, will you?
00:05:37I want to get into medicine bowl and get some sleep.
00:05:40I'm afraid you won't get much.
00:05:41I'm paying off my boys tonight,
00:05:42and they sort of keep the town staying up late.
00:05:44Hey, you!
00:05:47You get them cattle off of those tracks, sir.
00:05:49I'll blow my whistle and you'll never see them again.
00:05:51Oh, I wouldn't do that, sir.
00:05:53We haven't lost a steer all the way in.
00:05:55If you was to stampede them now,
00:05:56my boys would I would shoot you right out of that little cab.
00:06:09Steve!
00:06:10That's right.
00:06:11My whistle's getting that rusty.
00:06:14Hiya, Virginia!
00:06:16I thought you must be around.
00:06:18No other outfit can ball at the railroad this good.
00:06:20Same old Steve.
00:06:21It's been three years, hasn't it?
00:06:23Yeah, that's right.
00:06:24What are you doing here?
00:06:25I thought you were working for the Triangle D.
00:06:27I was.
00:06:28But you know me.
00:06:29I quit.
00:06:30Yeah, I know.
00:06:31Like when we rode together.
00:06:32Some girl's papa ran you out of town.
00:06:34Not this time.
00:06:35I'm just getting old and decrepit.
00:06:37I want to see New York once before I die.
00:06:39Look.
00:06:40Yours?
00:06:41Don't know what came over me, but I saved it.
00:06:43Gotta see what those eastern gills are like.
00:06:45Will you get off them tracks?
00:06:46I'm warning you.
00:06:47Now look.
00:06:48I haven't seen my friend here in three years.
00:06:51Ain't you got no humanity?
00:06:53I'll give you one minute to clear them tracks and then I'm coming through.
00:06:57Northern Pacific's getting a little feverish.
00:06:59Give me a hand with these cattle, will you?
00:07:01Sure.
00:07:02I hope those steers didn't scare you, ma'am.
00:07:10Mighty traveling today.
00:07:11No, it was exciting.
00:07:12Especially the way that man handled them.
00:07:13The Virginian?
00:07:14Oh, he's from Virginia.
00:07:15Yeah.
00:07:16I'm from Kansas myself.
00:07:17I see you're from the east.
00:07:18How can you tell?
00:07:19Why you fancy luggage.
00:07:20You weren't by chance to be planning to get off here.
00:07:21I would be if we ever get in.
00:07:22Isn't that just my luck?
00:07:23You come just a night, I'm leaving to the east.
00:07:24Gonna spoil my whole trip.
00:07:25Coming to make a visit?
00:07:26No, I'm coming to work.
00:07:27Oh, I'm coming to work.
00:07:28Oh, he's from Virginia.
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:32I'm from Kansas myself.
00:07:34I see you're from the east.
00:07:36How can you tell?
00:07:38By your fancy luggage.
00:07:40You wouldn't by chance be planning to get off here.
00:07:42I would be if we ever get in.
00:07:44Isn't that just my luck?
00:07:46You come just tonight, I'm leaving to the east.
00:07:48It's gonna spoil my whole trip.
00:07:50You coming to make a visit?
00:07:52No, I'm coming to work.
00:07:54Nobody out here is gonna make you do anything mean like that.
00:07:56I'm the new school teacher at Bear Creek.
00:07:58You? Teacher?
00:08:00Yes, why not?
00:08:02It's more as if you ought to be going to school yourself.
00:08:06Tell the boys to come down to the saloon after and I'll pay them off.
00:08:08All right.
00:08:12Looking for Steve?
00:08:14Yeah, you seen him?
00:08:15He's staking a claim.
00:08:16There's a new girl coming in on the train.
00:08:18Oh, sure enough?
00:08:19Yeah, looks like he beat you to it.
00:08:26There's a new girl coming in on the train.
00:08:28The stage leaves from in front of the hotel, miss.
00:08:31If I was you, I'd stay right inside the hotel until it comes.
00:08:35These cow towns can get kind of wild at night.
00:08:38Goodbye, miss.
00:08:39Goodbye.
00:08:40Goodbye.
00:08:41Oh, no, please don't bother.
00:08:42I'll have someone send for them.
00:08:43If you'll just tell me where the hotel is.
00:08:44Oh, let me take you.
00:08:45Oh, thanks.
00:08:46I can find it.
00:08:47Well, it's just over there.
00:08:48The red front?
00:08:49No, that's the saloon.
00:08:50You see the place about a couple of doors down?
00:08:51Where the horses are tied.
00:08:52No, that's the saloon, too.
00:08:54The other way.
00:08:55Oh, I see where the lace curtains are.
00:08:57Oh, no.
00:08:58Don't go there.
00:08:59Let me take you.
00:09:00I see where the lace curtains.
00:09:01Oh, no.
00:09:02Don't go there.
00:09:03Then let me take you.
00:09:05Let me take you.
00:09:06Where the horses are tied.
00:09:08No, that's a saloon, too. The other way.
00:09:11Oh, I see where the lace curtains are.
00:09:13Oh, oh, no. Don't go there.
00:09:16Let me take you.
00:09:36It's all right now, ma'am. You're safe.
00:09:59Thank you. I'm usually not so silly. It's just that...
00:10:03Well, thank you very much.
00:10:05No, it was nothing, ma'am.
00:10:06Oh, indeed it was.
00:10:07If you hadn't come along, I don't know what would have happened to me.
00:10:10They say those things can trample you to death.
00:10:12That's right, ma'am.
00:10:14Just look at that terrible steer now.
00:10:17Come back here.
00:10:19He's such a scared cat, ma'am.
00:10:21Come on, you.
00:10:25I told you it was nothing, ma'am.
00:10:27Don't mind him, miss. Just a mangy foreman. Doesn't amount to anything.
00:10:37Hi, Steve. Hi, Trampas.
00:10:40Looks like you're doing all right for yourself on short notice.
00:10:47He's helping a lady, Trampas.
00:10:49Don't tell me he's acing you out again, Virginia.
00:10:51Well, that's sort of between him and me, isn't it?
00:10:54I guess it is.
00:10:55But I have a leaning towards ladies, too.
00:10:58I might like to deal myself in sometime.
00:11:01It's a free country.
00:11:03That's right.
00:11:04Don't be scared of the noises, miss. They're just having fun.
00:11:19It's when they get quiet. Then watch out.
00:11:32Did you see her?
00:11:33A girl like that don't belong here.
00:11:35I don't like it.
00:11:36Now, she ain't gonna do nothing to you, Baldy.
00:11:38Baldy's always afraid every woman he sees is gonna put a bridle over there.
00:11:41Yeah.
00:11:42Well, there's only two things I'm scared of.
00:11:43That's a good woman. I'm getting a set of foot.
00:11:49All right. Now ask me.
00:11:51Ask you what?
00:11:52You make a fine, fancy rescue with the prettiest girl ever set foot medicine bow.
00:11:56And then you pretend you're not even interested enough to find out who she is.
00:11:59Oh, the girl. Sure. Well, who is she?
00:12:02Well, if she asks me polite like.
00:12:04She's a new wisdom bringer on the way to Bear Creek.
00:12:07New school teacher?
00:12:08You had her in your lap long enough for a short course in grammar.
00:12:12A fine way to treat a lady.
00:12:14How was I to know she was a lady? She was with you, wasn't she?
00:12:17How was she?
00:12:18How was she?
00:12:19How was she?
00:12:20How was she?
00:12:21Can I get my wages now, Virginia?
00:12:23Sure, honey. I was wondering where you were.
00:12:24Well, I got myself a good meal.
00:12:26Glad somebody's got some sense.
00:12:27Oh, this is an old game to me.
00:12:29Drinking whiskey on an empty stomach might hit you quicker,
00:12:31but with a full stomach, it lasts longer.
00:12:33Thanks.
00:12:34Let's have another drink.
00:12:35No, thanks.
00:12:36Well, what happened to you?
00:12:37I got to see if the boys get back safe to the ranch.
00:12:39You know, when I heard you were a foreman, it kept me laughing for a week.
00:12:44I haven't quite got over it yet myself.
00:12:46Every roundup we've been sort of expecting you, Steve, thinking you'd show up.
00:12:49How about it? You want to go back to work?
00:12:51Listen, I got to be plenty broke before I go back playing this maid to a cow.
00:12:56Bake all summer, freeze all winter, just to make enough money to get drunk four times a year?
00:13:00Not me. I'm heading for New York.
00:13:02Aren't you ever going to settle down?
00:13:03Not till they catch up with me.
00:13:09Come on, here's our chance to get in the game.
00:13:10Not this time, Steve.
00:13:12I'll let you bet you'll never get to New York.
00:13:14Five will get you ten.
00:13:15You're on.
00:13:19Hiya, Travis.
00:13:20Deal me in, boy. I feel lucky.
00:13:22It's a pleasure.
00:13:23What's the matter with your friend?
00:13:25Is he too good to play with us?
00:13:26He's got to keep his eye on the boys.
00:13:28On the boys?
00:13:29Doesn't look that way from here.
00:13:32Why don't we ask her in for a drink?
00:13:35Oh, she's a new schoolteacher.
00:13:37What's the difference?
00:13:38She's human, isn't she?
00:13:39Come on, let's play.
00:13:50I'm sorry about your little umbrella, ma'am.
00:14:02I'm sorry about that and everything.
00:14:05I'm asking you to forgive me.
00:14:07You call yourself a man, I suppose.
00:14:09A grown-up, responsible man.
00:14:11Yes, ma'am, I think so.
00:14:12You wear a big pistol and you ride a big horse.
00:14:14Yet all you do is go around playing pranks like any little child.
00:14:17Yes, ma'am.
00:14:18You call that acting like a grown man?
00:14:20Is that the kind of thing for a responsible adult to do?
00:14:23No, ma'am.
00:14:24But you can't say anything to me one-tenth as bad as what I'm saying to myself.
00:14:28I'd give my right eye if this hadn't happened.
00:14:31If I hadn't got started off on the wrong foot.
00:14:33Started off?
00:14:35Well, this is only the beginning between you and me.
00:14:38You must know that, ma'am, same as I do.
00:14:41Indeed, I know no such thing.
00:14:54Where'd she go?
00:14:55What's that to you?
00:14:56Trampas and his drink for the lady.
00:15:00I'll take it.
00:15:13It's your drink, Trampas.
00:15:17May I ask if there's anything wrong in offering the lady a little refreshment?
00:15:21She wouldn't understand.
00:15:22She was raised different.
00:15:24In the course of a long and varied career,
00:15:27I've found that no one comes out west except for one of three things.
00:15:31Health, wealth, or a bad reputation.
00:15:36She looks healthy and rich to me.
00:15:39You can stand up and tell him you lie.
00:15:44With pleasure.
00:15:45You dirty...
00:15:49When you call me that, smile.
00:15:54With a gun against my belly, I always smile.
00:16:00Now tell him you're a liar.
00:16:04There doesn't seem to be any question about it.
00:16:09Call that enough for the time being.
00:16:11If I were you, I wouldn't aggravate the Virginian too much.
00:16:17I've seen him shoot.
00:16:21I once knew a man that could shoot three whiskey glasses in the air.
00:16:26Pick him up.
00:16:28Toss him.
00:16:29Toss him.
00:16:32Hey.
00:16:33It's not bad.
00:16:34It's not bad.
00:16:56Hi, Andy.
00:16:57Howdy, Ben.
00:17:00Andy.
00:17:01This is a friend of mine.
00:17:02Now you take good care of her.
00:17:03I will.
00:17:04Don't you fret.
00:17:05You're the new school man, aren't you?
00:17:06Yes.
00:17:07It's going to be awful fine having you around here, Miss...
00:17:10Wood. Molly Wood.
00:17:12Miss Molly, there's a lot of ordinary critters around here
00:17:14could stand some, London.
00:17:16And not just little ones.
00:17:28Have a nice trip.
00:17:30Trip?
00:17:31You said you were going to New York.
00:17:32Oh.
00:17:33Oh, that.
00:17:35Well, you see, I lost my role in a poker game.
00:17:38Already?
00:17:39It's amazing, isn't it?
00:17:40I'm mighty glad, though.
00:17:41I'll still be around.
00:17:43I bet I may see you again.
00:17:44You sure will.
00:17:46Goodbye and thank you.
00:17:48Bye.
00:17:57I think I'll take that job after all.
00:18:27Hiya, Andy.
00:18:32Hello, Andy.
00:18:33Howdy, folks.
00:18:34Well, you brought her safe, I see.
00:18:35Uh-huh.
00:18:36Let me help you.
00:18:39Hiya, ma'am.
00:18:41How do you do?
00:18:44You must be worn out after your long trip.
00:18:47I'm afraid I have an awful lot of things.
00:18:48So much the better.
00:18:49It means you'll stay a while.
00:18:50Well, I guess that's about all.
00:18:53Thank you and goodbye, Andy.
00:18:55Bye, Miss Molly.
00:18:57I'm not gonna ask you into the house much as I'd like to.
00:19:00We're gonna take you right over to your own place.
00:19:05There's your schoolhouse.
00:19:06It's brand new.
00:19:07Men rode all the way from town to help Mr. Taylor build it.
00:19:10It's very nice.
00:19:12What's that?
00:19:14Just a coyote.
00:19:16Are they dangerous?
00:19:17Only to sheep and chickens.
00:19:19I never heard of any person being hurt by them.
00:19:22Ah, you'll get used to it.
00:19:28Here we are.
00:19:37This is the first home Mr. Taylor and I had.
00:19:39Till the children came.
00:19:41When you rode us, we set right to work to ready it up.
00:19:43Yeah, we sent all the way to Omaha to get that bathtub for you.
00:19:45Mr. Taylor.
00:19:48Let me take your bonnet.
00:19:50You know, I pictured you as a hard-faced old maid.
00:19:52Sour and bossy.
00:19:54But you're just...
00:19:56I don't know what's the matter with them Vermont men to let her get away.
00:20:00Have you had your supper?
00:20:01We stopped a while ago.
00:20:02I'm gonna get you something to eat.
00:20:03Oh, no, really.
00:20:04I'm too tired to eat anything.
00:20:05Just a cup of coffee.
00:20:06Oh, please don't bother.
00:20:07It's no bother.
00:20:08I always have something on the stove for the hands.
00:20:12I'm glad you've come, ma'am.
00:20:13It'll be company for mother.
00:20:15She gets lonesome with only men around and the nearest white woman ten miles away.
00:20:19Ten miles?
00:20:20Yeah.
00:20:21But the children for the school, if there's no one nearer than that.
00:20:23Oh, distance don't mean anything to us out here.
00:20:25If you've got the time, the kids will ride over.
00:20:29Sorry we couldn't get off to meet you at Medicine Bow.
00:20:32Oh, I was all right.
00:20:33There was a very nice cowboy, I suppose you called him, who helped me.
00:20:37I believe his name was Steve.
00:20:38Steve?
00:20:39He was with the man they call the Virginian.
00:20:42Oh, Steve.
00:20:43Steve Andrews.
00:20:45Oh, I didn't know he was back in these parts.
00:20:47Yeah, they're great friends.
00:20:48Know them both very well.
00:20:51Oh, what's his name?
00:20:52The Virginian.
00:20:53Why, uh...
00:20:56Well, that's funny.
00:20:57I couldn't tell you.
00:21:00There you are.
00:21:01Oh, thank you.
00:21:02Mother, what's the Virginian's real name?
00:21:04I've never heard him called any other name than that.
00:21:07That's curious, isn't it?
00:21:08Not out here it isn't.
00:21:09Hey, don't hurry to ask a man his name out here.
00:21:11He tells you his name is Jones, so you call him Jones.
00:21:15I guess if you knew the real names of some of them,
00:21:17you could collect a pile of money.
00:21:18You're not trying to tell her that the Virginian is one of them.
00:21:21Oh, no, no, no.
00:21:22He's all right.
00:21:23He's fine.
00:21:24I'm not saying anything against him.
00:21:25I should hope not.
00:21:26You've got to be careful in front of Mother.
00:21:28She's got a soft spot for him.
00:21:30I have a soft spot for all cow hens.
00:21:32You used to be one yourself, didn't you?
00:21:34You better get some rest.
00:21:35Good night.
00:21:36Good night and thank you.
00:21:37Come along.
00:21:38Good night.
00:21:39Good night.
00:21:40Good night.
00:21:45She's not going to stay.
00:21:46I don't know.
00:21:47I got a feeling that girl's got spunk.
00:21:49She's certainly mighty pretty.
00:21:51What do you know about such things?
00:21:53I picked you, didn't I?
00:21:55Good night.
00:21:56Good night.
00:21:57Good night.
00:21:58Good night.
00:21:59Good night.
00:22:00Good night.
00:22:01Good night.
00:22:02Good night.
00:22:03Good night.
00:22:04Good night.
00:22:05Good night.
00:22:06Good night.
00:22:07Good night.
00:22:08Good night.
00:22:09Good night.
00:22:10Good night.
00:22:11Good night.
00:22:12Good night.
00:22:13Good night.
00:22:14Good night.
00:22:15Good night.
00:22:16Good night.
00:22:17Good night.
00:22:18Good night.
00:22:19Good night.
00:22:20Good night.
00:22:21Good night.
00:22:22Good night.
00:22:23Good night.
00:22:24The school's here!
00:22:36The school starts at Bear Creek Monday.
00:22:39The school starts at Bear Creek Monday.
00:22:45Hey, there are new school teachers here.
00:22:50Hey, the new school teacher's here.
00:22:52School starts at Bear Creek next Monday.
00:22:54Man or a woman?
00:22:55Woman.
00:22:56Save me a seat.
00:22:57I'll be there.
00:23:02Teachers come.
00:23:03School starts at the beginning of next week.
00:23:07School, Ma.
00:23:08Hush up.
00:23:09Come on, Tom.
00:23:10We ought to get started.
00:23:11In a minute.
00:23:12Well, when I find out I've lost over 100 head of calves
00:23:14in these last three months, I said to myself,
00:23:16this is the end.
00:23:17So we're moving on to Montana.
00:23:19We've got to get someplace where there's a little law and order.
00:23:21We can't have men like you, Tom, leaving the country.
00:23:24If you and your family will stay on...
00:23:26What's the use of promising, Judge Henry?
00:23:27You've got to catch the rustlers first.
00:23:29And even if you do catch them, the sheriff won't do nothing.
00:23:31If he won't, then we'll have to do something about it ourselves.
00:23:34That's just about what you'll have to do.
00:23:36I wish you'd change your mind, Tom.
00:23:38I'd stay on and fight if I was single, like you.
00:23:40Come on, Tom.
00:23:42We've got to make camp before dark.
00:23:44All right, let's go.
00:23:45So long, boys.
00:23:46It's hard to see you go.
00:23:47Good luck to you.
00:23:48Good luck to you.
00:23:56That's the third family this year.
00:23:58I know.
00:23:59Who do you think's doing this, Russell?
00:24:00I have my own ideas, but I'm not accusing anyone until I'm sure.
00:24:03Well, all we can do is keep our eyes open and act when we know.
00:24:07Thank you, gentlemen.
00:24:08I was just thinking, sir, it might not be a bad idea if you were to sort of make something and the new teacher's coming.
00:24:17Show them that there's people behind the school that are determined there's going to be a decent life here.
00:24:22If there was some sort of get-together and you were to make a speech, that'd give the teacher a good send-off.
00:24:27I thought you cowhands were against the settlers coming in and cluttering up the plains with their fences and vegetable gardens.
00:24:34Well, they're here.
00:24:35I reckon the kid's got to have some education.
00:24:37What is this new teacher, male or female?
00:24:41Female.
00:24:42But that's not the reason.
00:24:44It's an excellent idea.
00:24:45We'll have a barbecue and christen the school.
00:24:47Invite the whole county.
00:24:48Well, as long as you're including everybody, you might send an invite to Trampas.
00:24:52Trampas?
00:24:53Sure.
00:24:54And tell him to bring all his men along.
00:24:56Well, what gave you the sudden interest in Trampas?
00:24:58He doesn't seem to me to be a sociable man.
00:25:00I was just thinking, with all of us cutting up at the barbecue, somebody might get the idea of rustling a few steers.
00:25:07Now, wouldn't they?
00:25:08You're not suggesting...
00:25:09I'm not suggesting anything.
00:25:10But if I was you, I'd see that Trampas got an invite.
00:25:13Special.
00:25:16Maybe I will.
00:25:17I'll go.
00:25:32Hello, boys.
00:25:33Getting prettied up for the teacher?
00:25:34Hello, Trampas.
00:25:37Trampas and his men just rode in.
00:25:45Hiya, Steve.
00:25:46Oh, hello, Mr. Taylor.
00:25:48Glad to see you back.
00:25:49Trampus, fine, thank you, just fine.
00:25:52Boys, guns and whiskey are two things that don't mix.
00:25:55If you'll be so kind, I'll take them.
00:25:58There is whiskey.
00:26:00Yes.
00:26:01Before I make my contribution, may I ask where it is?
00:26:04In the barrel, right over there.
00:26:06That's what I call a fair exchange.
00:26:08Coming, Steve?
00:26:09You bet.
00:26:15Hi, Nebraska.
00:26:16What's the idea of trailing around with him?
00:26:19Are he all right?
00:26:20What are you selling him for?
00:26:23Welcome, folks.
00:26:25How are you, Mrs. Taylor?
00:26:26Your party looks just grand.
00:26:28Go right on in.
00:26:29Howdy, Mr. Taylor.
00:26:30Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:26:31She's right inside.
00:26:33I'd like you to know how well he reads already.
00:26:35I told him myself.
00:26:36Show her, Christopher.
00:26:38Coulter's baking powder, absolutely pure.
00:26:41This powder never varies.
00:26:44A marvel of purity, strength, and wholesomeness.
00:26:49Coulter's baking powder, 94 William Street, New York City.
00:26:54Well, that's just wonderful, Christopher.
00:26:56Oh, that isn't all.
00:26:57He can read every can in the house.
00:26:58This one can't read a darned thing.
00:27:00Oh, he'll learn at school.
00:27:01I promise you.
00:27:02You hear that?
00:27:04If you come home on Monday night and still can't read, I'll beat the tar out again.
00:27:09I want you to meet Mrs. Jasper.
00:27:11She drove steady, 70 miles, just to come and meet you.
00:27:1470 miles?
00:27:15Oh, that was nothing.
00:27:17I wanted to welcome you to your new home.
00:27:19Oh, I'm afraid it isn't my home.
00:27:21I'm only here for a term, and then I go back to Vermont.
00:27:23We have a lot of nice boys out here.
00:27:25We'll see that that doesn't happen, I'm sure.
00:27:28A little bird told me there's one already, and a very handsome one at that.
00:27:31Who is it?
00:27:31Well, all I know is this certain man stood up for her when something was said in the saloon at Medicine Bowl.
00:27:37Oh.
00:27:38Hiya, Judge.
00:27:52Hello, Taylor.
00:27:53Good to see you, Virginia.
00:27:54Thank you, sir.
00:27:55Looks as if every one in a hundred miles is here.
00:27:57Yeah, quite a gathering.
00:27:59Hey.
00:28:01Perfect night for rustlers.
00:28:02What do you think?
00:28:03I reckon we can take a chance.
00:28:06You go ahead.
00:28:06I'm going to get cleaned up first.
00:28:08You sure you want me to give that horse to her?
00:28:11Oh, yes, sir.
00:28:12If she thought it was for me, she wouldn't take it.
00:28:14I didn't think you were afraid of anything, Virginia.
00:28:16She sort of needs breaking gentle.
00:28:18The horse?
00:28:20Yes, sir.
00:28:22It's no fun living in a country where the bulls outnumber the cows a hundred to one.
00:28:26I'm thinking of moving to New York myself.
00:28:28I'll see you there.
00:28:30You don't get to New York nurse mating cows at $30 a month.
00:28:33I'll be flush again.
00:28:34You wait and see.
00:28:35Why, wait.
00:28:36Lots of ways to make money fast, but you've got to use your head.
00:28:41Why didn't you wait for us, Steve?
00:28:43Well, it was getting late and Trampas dropped by, so I came along with him.
00:28:46You aren't very particular.
00:28:48I passed your herd the other day, Trampas.
00:28:50I ought to compliment you.
00:28:51You have so many calves this year.
00:28:54It seems like your cows don't have them just one at a time like nature intended.
00:28:58They have them in litters like a sow.
00:28:59What do you suggest I do about it?
00:29:02If I was you, I'd have a little talk with them and get them back closer to nature.
00:29:06You're liable to talk yourself into a lot of trouble, my friend.
00:29:09Since when was I your friend, Trampas?
00:29:12All right.
00:29:14We'll have it your way from now on.
00:29:16Suits me.
00:29:16I'm going to wash up.
00:29:19How about it, Steve?
00:29:20That is if you can tear yourself away.
00:29:24Yes, foreman.
00:29:26Be right with you, foreman.
00:29:28It's my boss.
00:29:32Are you going to let him get away with that?
00:29:35Always keep your temper, Ed.
00:29:37As my sainted mother used to say, one trick at a time.
00:29:40Anything on your mind, boss?
00:29:46Listen, Steve.
00:29:48You've been away from here so long, maybe you don't know the layout.
00:29:51But Trampas and his bunch aren't a good outfit to travel with.
00:29:53You're worried too much.
00:29:54He's all right.
00:29:55I've known him a long time.
00:29:56The times are changing, Steve.
00:29:58Things are coming to a pass where you've got to start figuring out who you're lined up with.
00:30:01Now, listen, Pappy.
00:30:02You're not going to start reading the scripture to me, are you?
00:30:04I'm grown up.
00:30:05I'm just giving you a tip off.
00:30:08And another thing.
00:30:09If I will get you ten, I'll take the new schoolteacher to supper.
00:30:12You haven't got a chance.
00:30:14All right.
00:30:15If you don't think I got a chance, double it.
00:30:17It's a bet.
00:30:20I'll be back to collect later.
00:30:22Hey.
00:30:23Hey, Steve.
00:30:25Steve, come back here.
00:30:28Virginia.
00:30:30What happened to you?
00:30:31Steve, a leather-tailed polecat.
00:30:33I bet him I could take Miss Wood to supper and I'll still do it.
00:30:36Double crossing.
00:30:37Miss Wood, this is the Virginian.
00:30:43The man who's responsible for this whole celebration.
00:30:46He is.
00:30:47It's most thoughtful of you.
00:30:50Perhaps you'd like to help him win his bed.
00:30:53I haven't sampled that barrel yet.
00:30:54Would you excuse me?
00:30:55Why, surely I was hoping for a chance to speak to him alone.
00:31:02You wanted to talk to me?
00:31:03I wanted to find out by what possible means you got the idea that you have some special privileges over me.
00:31:08Just because I made a bet is...
00:31:11Oh, much earlier than that.
00:31:12It seems there was some sort of ballroom quarrel in which you appointed yourself my champion.
00:31:17Who told you that?
00:31:18Does it matter?
00:31:19Everyone knows it by now.
00:31:20And they've immediately jumped to the conclusion that...
00:31:22I want you to know I'm perfectly able to take care of myself.
00:31:26And I resent the implication that you have some proprietary rights over me.
00:31:29Oh, I don't think anyone's going to go and think that.
00:31:32A lot of people have already gone and thought it.
00:31:34And you'll do me the favor from now on to keep out of my affairs.
00:31:37I'm sick to death of your pranks and manly protection.
00:31:41Just because I stood up for you?
00:31:44My, ma'am, I'd have done the same thing for an Indian squaw.
00:31:46Well, why, hello, Steve. I was just looking for you.
00:31:58Well, I was just looking for you to ask you if you...
00:31:59Would you take me to supper?
00:32:00Hmm?
00:32:02Why, sure.
00:32:04I'll be tickled to death.
00:32:06You know, you make me feel like a rich man.
00:32:09So I understand.
00:32:16Someday you'll learn.
00:32:18They just can't resist my charm.
00:32:20Eh, not that way.
00:32:22She's over at the corral with the judge.
00:32:24From now on, you don't even get a look-in.
00:32:27Five will get you ten.
00:32:28Take it.
00:32:31They never learn.
00:32:37Well, which one's it going to be?
00:32:39Oh, it's wonderful, but really, I can't accept a gift like that.
00:32:42But you must.
00:32:43Anyone out here without a horse under him
00:32:45is as helpless as a fish out of water.
00:32:47It's so hard to choose.
00:32:49They're all darlings.
00:32:51Could I have that one?
00:32:53The pretty yellow one with the white mane?
00:32:54How about it, Virginia?
00:32:55Is that good enough for her?
00:32:57One's about as good as another.
00:32:58It's yours.
00:32:59Oh, thank you so much.
00:33:01Get him out for the lady, Steve.
00:33:03Don't hurt him now.
00:33:16Don't hurt him now.
00:33:16Don't hurt him.
00:33:16Don't hurt him now.
00:33:17Why, he's wild.
00:33:31Never been ridden, that's all.
00:33:33Judge, they're ready for you to start the dance.
00:33:35All right.
00:33:36Coming, Miss Wood?
00:33:37I'll be there in a minute.
00:33:40Easy does it.
00:33:41All right.
00:33:42Good, sir.
00:33:43Hold him, hold him.
00:33:44That's good now.
00:33:45Get on him, Steve, and show us how good he rides.
00:33:48Get up on him.
00:33:50Careful.
00:33:50Don't hurt him now.
00:33:52If you know so much about it, why don't you do it yourself?
00:33:54Huh?
00:33:54Why don't you do it?
00:33:55I dare you.
00:33:59You've got a cruel streak in you, ma'am.
00:34:00Come on, Virginia, you gotta ride it.
00:34:02Get up on it, get up on it.
00:34:14All right, get in with the car.
00:34:31Get out of here.
00:34:46Get out of here.
00:34:48Shall we dance?
00:35:03Oh, yes.
00:35:07You swing me and I swing you
00:35:09You go all go to heaven in the same old suit
00:35:11For how you swap and how you trade
00:35:13A pretty little girl for that old man
00:35:15Circle left and see him so
00:35:17All hands live and go-si-do
00:35:19Oh, she shows about one round
00:35:33Grab a girl and walk about
00:35:35And chase the possum, chase that queen
00:35:37Chase that pretty girl round her
00:35:39Lace to the center and back to the bar
00:35:41Jump to the center and form a star
00:35:43Right hand cross, how do you do
00:35:45Left hand back and how are you
00:35:47Swing your partner if you're not too slow
00:35:57Grab your honey and around it go
00:35:59Lace to swing and go somewhere
00:36:01Sing your partner in the old light chair
00:36:03See you in quick
00:36:07I've never had so much fun in my life
00:36:09Can I get you some lemonade?
00:36:10Yes, thank you
00:36:12Would you like to go outside?
00:36:28No, I was just looking
00:36:29Do you suppose the Virginians come back?
00:36:32By now he's probably passing through Nevada
00:36:34Would you go and look?
00:36:35I'm afraid something's happened
00:36:36He's all right
00:36:37He can ride anything
00:36:38He grows four legs
00:36:39Miss Molly
00:36:40We chuck numbers into a hat
00:36:42To see who gets you next
00:36:43I draw at number one
00:36:45That's fine
00:36:46Choose your partner for the poker
00:36:48Please, I feel responsibly
00:36:52All right
00:36:53All right
00:36:54All right
00:37:11All right, action
00:37:16You're a very lucky horse
00:37:32You know that?
00:37:34Steve?
00:37:35Steve?
00:37:35Steve?
00:37:35Oh
00:37:36We just got back
00:37:40Are you all right?
00:37:42Sure, he's a little tired though
00:37:46I'll take him home with me
00:37:50And gentle him up
00:37:51He'll be eaten out of your hand
00:37:53That's very kind of you
00:37:54But I think I'd better leave that
00:37:55To Judge Henry
00:37:56He gave him to me
00:37:57You just do that
00:37:58Oh, but now that you have a horse
00:38:01Maybe you go riding with me
00:38:02I'm afraid I'll be busy at school
00:38:04Well, there's always afternoons and Sundays
00:38:06Besides, I've never ridden
00:38:07Western style
00:38:08Oh, I could learn you easy
00:38:09Teach me, not learn me
00:38:11Huh?
00:38:12You teach, I learn
00:38:14Well, that's what I said
00:38:16I was talking about grammar
00:38:18Teach is a transitive verb
00:38:20Taking an object
00:38:21Learn is an intransitive verb
00:38:23Well, what does it take?
00:38:26Nothing
00:38:27Well, in that case
00:38:30Maybe you'd be willing to teach me this waltz
00:38:32I'm sorry, I'm promised for every dance
00:38:34Then I'll just have to wait till tomorrow
00:38:36What's tomorrow?
00:38:38That's when you go riding with me
00:38:39Really, you're impossible
00:38:41You take so much for granted
00:38:43You seem to forget that I may have something to say in the matter
00:38:45I don't even know that I like you
00:38:47You will, ma'am
00:38:48Just take your time
00:38:50What's so funny?
00:38:56Well, what do you know?
00:38:58I thought you were woman broke
00:39:00Quiet down, will you?
00:39:01Why, she's got you roped, hog-tired, and branded
00:39:04The only difference between you and that horse is
00:39:06He's got sense enough to bark
00:39:08You like him, don't you?
00:39:24I adore him
00:39:25Well, you ought to
00:39:26Trust the Virginian to pick good horse flesh
00:39:29The Virginian?
00:39:30That one was one of the finest in the string
00:39:33Well, not this one
00:39:34Judge Henry gave him to me
00:39:35Oh, he did, did he?
00:39:37Well, strange things do happen
00:39:39The Virginian showed him to me the day he was born
00:39:42What's the matter?
00:39:48I told him I wouldn't ride with him
00:39:49I can't think of a finer man to ride with
00:39:52Ha-ha, I beat you
00:40:10You learn too fast
00:40:11I'll be losing my job as teacher
00:40:22It's still strange to me
00:40:28And a little frightening
00:40:29It's so big
00:40:31I'm used to the cozy green hills at home
00:40:34The village street
00:40:36And talking to your neighbor over the garden wall
00:40:38If you'd stay here long enough
00:40:40You'd never want to go back to that
00:40:41It'd smother you
00:40:43I wonder
00:40:44I tried going back
00:40:46I found my brothers talking about the same things as when I left
00:40:50Men of 25 and 30
00:40:52Still talking about the same things
00:40:54I told my mother about what I'd seen out here
00:40:58And she liked it
00:40:59Right to her death
00:40:59But the others
00:41:01Their whole world was nothing but hogs and turkeys
00:41:04So I put on my hat one day
00:41:06And told them maybe I'd look in on them in about 50 years
00:41:08To see if they had any new subjects
00:41:09My brothers don't seem very ambitious
00:41:12And you are
00:41:13I've had lots of chances and let them slip
00:41:16But I'm not losing anymore
00:41:18You're the best chance I've got
00:41:22Please
00:41:23I'm not the right one for you
00:41:25You mean I'm not the right one for you
00:41:27But I'm not always going to be the way I am now
00:41:30Oh, I didn't mean that
00:41:32I don't aim to stay here
00:41:33I'm going to move west someday
00:41:35I want to do for myself what the judge did here
00:41:38Find new land in Utah or Nevada
00:41:41Sounds fine
00:41:42It wouldn't mean anything to me unless you were with me
00:41:47Don't, please
00:41:50Don't what?
00:41:51Spoil this
00:41:52These rides, they've been perfect
00:41:55And I want them to go on so
00:41:57I know, but I don't think you realize what you're saying
00:42:00You might as well ask grain to stay green
00:42:03If the way we are now is enough for you
00:42:05It isn't for me
00:42:06If I'm to go on seeing you
00:42:08You're not
00:42:09At least not like this
00:42:11I can stay away easier than go on like this
00:42:15I won't press you for your answer now
00:42:22Oh, listen
00:42:23Do you hear that?
00:42:27It sounds like a calf
00:42:28Maybe it's hurt
00:42:31You wait here
00:42:52Hi, Virginia
00:43:09Hello, Steve
00:43:10What are you doing to send the range?
00:43:13Nothing special
00:43:13I'll burn your fingers
00:43:18I'm going to sound like Pappy again
00:43:22I'm not doing anything
00:43:22No
00:43:23Just putting Trampus' brand on one of Judge Henry's calves
00:43:26That's all
00:43:27What are you talking about?
00:43:28It's just a stray
00:43:28Sure
00:43:29Following a box-aged cow
00:43:31Oh
00:43:32That's funny, I didn't see here before
00:43:35I guess my eyesight must be getting bad
00:43:37Listen, Steve
00:43:39You and I have done a lot of local things
00:43:41But there's some things we haven't done
00:43:43And stealing's one of them
00:43:44All right, so what's a few calves to judge?
00:43:46He's got thousands
00:43:47No sense to get sore about it, Steve
00:43:48I'm not sore at you
00:43:49I never could be
00:43:50But the ranchers are getting sick and tired
00:43:52Of having their herds trimmed down by rustlers
00:43:54And it won't be long until they're sending out
00:43:56Pases with ropes on their saddles
00:43:57Well, they don't need to bring a rope for me
00:43:59I've got one I've been limbering up for years
00:44:02I'm talking to you straight, Steve
00:44:04I'm responsible for these cows
00:44:06You take life too serious, Virginia
00:44:09You'll have to make your choice
00:44:11Quit it or take the consequences
00:44:13I'm not going to cover up for you
00:44:14All right
00:44:18If that's the way you feel about it
00:44:20I'll make it the hard way
00:44:21Thanks, Steve
00:44:23You'd be putting me in a tough spot if you didn't
00:44:25Forget it
00:44:26Do I still keep my job?
00:44:29Sure
00:44:29See you later
00:44:36You'll bet
00:44:37What was it?
00:44:46A calf
00:44:47Was it hurt?
00:44:48No, just separated from its mother
00:44:50Let's go back another way
00:44:52I'll take him, I'll take him
00:45:07Thank you
00:45:08There's a letter for you from Vermont, Miss Wood
00:45:10I put it in your cabin
00:45:11Shall I get it?
00:45:12No, it's just family
00:45:13This one isn't
00:45:14This one's from Samuel Bannett
00:45:15Elm Street, Bennington, Vermont
00:45:17Bannett?
00:45:19Isn't that that dude back east that wanted to marry you?
00:45:21He's not a dude
00:45:22Sam's a very nice boy
00:45:24Oh
00:45:25Well, I guess I'll have to be saying goodbye
00:45:28Goodbye?
00:45:30I won't be seeing you for quite a while
00:45:32We'll be gathering cattle now till the roundup
00:45:33Oh, I see
00:45:35I'll be busy, but
00:45:36At least it'll keep me from worrying too much about you
00:45:39You think it over
00:45:41Next time, give me your answer
00:45:43If I know when I'm coming back, I'll try and let you know
00:45:49More likely, you'll just see me showing up
00:45:51More likely, you'll just see me showing up
00:45:51More likely, you'll just see me showing up
00:45:55More likely, you'll just see me showing up
00:45:58Well, it'll look out
00:46:00More likely, you'll just see me tuning back
00:46:03All right, let's see you
00:46:04I'll be watching you
00:46:05Please start your program
00:46:05As I saw some people
00:46:06Watch for them
00:46:06Love you
00:46:07Bye
00:46:07Bye
00:46:08Like
00:46:09Bye
00:46:10Bye
00:46:10I'll be watching
00:46:11Bye
00:46:12Bye
00:46:13Bye
00:46:13I'll be watching
00:46:14Bye
00:46:15тел
00:46:15Bye
00:46:16Bye
00:46:18Bye
00:46:18Bye
00:46:20Bye
00:46:21Jane is roaming the south side.
00:46:34Steve's to the north.
00:46:36Here.
00:46:37Take this blanket, but don't snap it till they meet on the other side.
00:46:40Remember, at least little sound will start a stampede.
00:46:43We don't want that to happen till we're set.
00:46:45You've wandered and pampled all over the ground.
00:46:55Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear.
00:47:01And don't be forever on the dome.
00:47:07Lay down, oh, dear, say down.
00:47:15Have you seen anything prowling around?
00:47:17No.
00:47:18They're restless.
00:47:19They didn't seem to bed them down tonight.
00:47:21Maybe a storm's coming up.
00:47:22Maybe.
00:47:31When that herd starts running, there's only one way to stop it.
00:47:34The Virginian and the rest will hightail it up front and try and turn them.
00:47:37That's when you get in there fast, to the rear.
00:47:40Cut out as many as you can and run them up the ravine.
00:47:43Ought to get two or three hundred at least.
00:47:54Get to the front of the herd and cycle them.
00:47:57All right, get going.
00:47:58All right, all right, get going.
00:47:59All right, get him.
00:48:08Come on, come on.
00:48:12Get him.
00:48:14Oh!
00:48:15Oh!
00:48:16Oh!
00:48:17Oh!
00:48:18Oh!
00:48:19Oh!
00:48:21Oh!
00:48:22Oh!
00:48:23Oh!
00:48:24Oh!
00:48:25Oh!
00:48:26Come on!
00:48:38All right, hit them all!
00:48:53Help! Help! Help!
00:48:55This sort of thing has got to stop.
00:48:57They've not only stolen a couple of hundred head of cattle,
00:48:59but we were afraid that Steve was lost in the stampede.
00:49:02That's tough, Virginia.
00:49:04I'd do anything I could, Judge.
00:49:06I'd swear I'd want in a minute, but I've got nothing to go on.
00:49:09I said that someone popped a blanket at them.
00:49:11Did you see anyone popping? Did anybody see anyone?
00:49:13No.
00:49:14Looks to me as if some of your boys went to sleep and let some cattle get away.
00:49:18If I went chasing after every car that was lost, I'd never get through.
00:49:22I'm sorry, Judge.
00:49:25When you get some proof, I'd be more than glad to act.
00:49:27Until then, sorry.
00:49:33Well, I've always been a faithful servant of the law.
00:49:37But I'm through backing a sheriff who refuses to enforce it.
00:49:41He's been letting these cattle thieves go for two years.
00:49:43It's time we did something about it.
00:49:45I suggest that the Virginian head an expedition to run these rustlers down.
00:49:49Oh, I'm not sure that I'm the man, Judge.
00:49:51You know this country better than anyone.
00:49:52If we don't catch these men and make an example of them, we'll never have any peace.
00:49:57Will you do it?
00:49:59All right, sir.
00:50:00This is better than herding cattle for a living, isn't it, Steve?
00:50:17I'm still herding them, aren't I?
00:50:18What do you think we're doing now?
00:50:19Sitting in some New York hotel?
00:50:21Well, we will be soon.
00:50:23Just get these across the line and we're off.
00:50:25Two hundred steers at fifty dollars a head.
00:50:29Ten thousand dollars.
00:50:31Not bad for three days' work.
00:50:32Fifteen hundred apiece?
00:50:33Not quite.
00:50:35You forgot to include the sheriff.
00:50:36Sheriff?
00:50:37What's he done?
00:50:38Nothing.
00:50:39Absolutely nothing.
00:50:40That's worth a slice, isn't it?
00:50:42Those rocks run for miles.
00:50:43Anyone following is sure gonna cuss you for taking them across here.
00:50:46That's what I want them to do.
00:50:48They will ride plenty before they find any tracks.
00:50:51They'll ride more than that.
00:50:54We're not taking them across here.
00:50:55What's wrong?
00:50:56This place is perfect.
00:50:57Sure.
00:50:58So we'll take a bath instead.
00:51:00Get them in the river and swim them downstream.
00:51:02We'll take them out on the rocks at Boulder Creek.
00:51:07Get out of heaven.
00:51:10Get out of heaven.
00:51:11Get out of heaven.
00:51:12Get out of heaven.
00:51:13Get out of heaven.
00:51:14Get out of heaven.
00:51:15Get out of heaven.
00:51:16Get out of heaven.
00:51:17Get out of heaven.
00:51:18Get out of heaven.
00:51:19Get out of heaven.
00:51:24Don't let any of them get near the bank.
00:51:26We don't want any tracks.
00:51:29Not that I think anybody will be looking around downstream,
00:51:32but as my sainted mother used to say,
00:51:35always cover your bed.
00:51:40Get back there now.
00:51:49Get out of heaven.
00:51:54Any sign of Steve?
00:51:56The boys are still looking for him.
00:51:58I was in a cattle run once.
00:51:59Found they'd milled over a fellow's body all night.
00:52:02But they finally found him.
00:52:04Yeah.
00:52:06Come on.
00:52:07We'll never find any tracks over there.
00:52:20Those are all rock hills.
00:52:21They would take them across here.
00:52:22We're going to lose a lot of time,
00:52:24but there's only one thing to do.
00:52:25Circle the edge of this whole rocky area
00:52:27till we find where the tracks come out.
00:52:28Good.
00:52:29Let's get out of them.
00:52:30Hang on.
00:52:49Hey, Nebraska.
00:52:50Come here a minute.
00:52:53Krampus wouldn't take the herd this way.
00:52:55Why not?
00:52:56Council Bluff's the other side of those hills.
00:52:57That'd throw him 70 miles to the north.
00:52:59Yeah, that's just why he'd do it.
00:53:00Because we wouldn't think so.
00:53:02Except for one thing.
00:53:03He's too greedy.
00:53:04He wouldn't drive an extra 140 miles
00:53:06and lose all that weight.
00:53:07He likes to sell them fat.
00:53:08He'd take them south.
00:53:09That's smart figurine.
00:53:10And I'll lay odds that he's right.
00:53:11Well, there's no tracks.
00:53:12What if he took a chance on swimming them downstream?
00:53:14That's crazy.
00:53:15He'd try anything.
00:53:16Well, it's possible.
00:53:17Possible.
00:53:18That's it.
00:53:19Come on.
00:53:20Come on, boy.
00:53:31Great.
00:53:32Hold it.
00:53:35See that smoke?
00:53:36Yeah.
00:53:37Come on.
00:53:38Hey, who left that?
00:53:39We oughtn't have a fire.
00:53:40What do you want us to do?
00:53:41Freeze to death?
00:53:42Well, somebody might see it.
00:53:43Yeah, quit worrying.
00:53:44I still think we ought to push on.
00:53:45If you listen to you, the cattle would be all worn out by the time we get there.
00:54:01I think I'll go down the ravine and take a look at our bank account.
00:54:03I'm going to locate a nice soft rock and get myself some sleep.
00:54:06I'm not going to get any sleep until we get rid of those cows.
00:54:09Oh, forget it, Shorty.
00:54:10Think of all the fun you're going to have with that money.
00:54:12I can see myself now walking down Broadway and all the girls following me.
00:54:16They tell me that when these city women hear Spurs jingling, they go crazy.
00:54:21Just like catnip to a kitten.
00:54:23Fire.
00:54:36Pretty sure of themselves, aren't they?
00:54:39Spread out.
00:54:40Half you go around the other side.
00:54:45That moon's awful bright.
00:54:46Well, you shut up and wipe that look off your face.
00:54:51Play something careful.
00:54:53Not so loud.
00:54:57Not so loud.
00:54:58Come.
00:55:01Come.
00:55:02Come.
00:55:03Come.
00:55:04And leave.
00:55:09Come.
00:55:11If you go, Mr Arthur, come.
00:55:15Come.
00:55:16What do we do?
00:55:17What do you think about it?
00:55:19I don't know.
00:55:21Got him!
00:55:26What do we do?
00:55:27What do you think? Every man for himself. Come on.
00:55:33Get the gun, Sporty.
00:55:37Where's Trampas and the rest?
00:55:40I don't know what you're talking about.
00:55:42We are on a little hunting trip.
00:55:45So are we. Tie them up.
00:55:51Hold on.
00:55:55Halt there.
00:55:58The next one counts.
00:56:06You always could shoot.
00:56:09I was hoping I wouldn't find you here.
00:56:11Yeah, I know.
00:56:13You said a posse would be out. But don't worry.
00:56:15I'll dust out of this country fast and leave you in the clear.
00:56:22You're gonna let me go, aren't you?
00:56:27I told you you'd have to make a choice, Steve.
00:56:29Good choice, Steve.
00:56:46The cattle are jammed in the gully down the ravine.
00:56:48Whoever was riding herd on them ducked.
00:56:50Hiya, boys. Haven't seen you since the stampede.
00:57:02I caught him in the riverbed.
00:57:06Tie him up.
00:57:12Real thoughtful of you boys building this fire for us.
00:57:14We could smell it halfway across Wyoming.
00:57:16I told him you shouldn't have lit a fire.
00:57:18Told who?
00:57:20Told me.
00:57:22All right, I was wrong.
00:57:23I shouldn't have lit the fire.
00:57:25You always were a rotten liar, Steve.
00:57:28Where'd Trampus go?
00:57:30There's only us four.
00:57:32I wouldn't lie to you.
00:57:34Only the four, huh?
00:57:36Always a drink coffee with a cup in each hand.
00:57:41Get the ropes off their saddles.
00:57:43Take them to the cabin over by the cottonwoods.
00:57:49Maybe we can catch the others by sound.
00:57:52I hope somebody's got a deck of cards.
00:58:14Now what's worrying you?
00:58:17I'm catching a cold.
00:58:18Somebody shut the door for him, will you?
00:58:24Don't get nervous, shorty.
00:58:26You can only die once.
00:58:28And what's life anyways?
00:58:30A few winters waiting for spring,
00:58:32a few summers wishing they'd last,
00:58:34a few bottles of whiskey,
00:58:35and maybe a half a dozen gills you can remember.
00:58:38Then your little three by six feet underground,
00:58:40and that's all.
00:58:42That's moving hours later.
00:58:43Well, no sign of them.
00:58:45They got out through the cut, I guess.
00:58:47It'll take an hour to see in that gulf.
00:58:49I told her there wasn't any more of us.
00:58:51Let's get this thing over with.
00:58:52Hey, wait a minute.
00:58:54You owe me a dollar and a half.
00:58:56I'll pay you tomorrow.
00:58:57Come on.
00:58:58Come on.
00:58:59Come on.
00:59:01Come on.
00:59:03Come on.
00:59:05Come on.
00:59:07You owe me a dollar and a half.
00:59:09I'll pay you tomorrow.
00:59:12Come on.
00:59:16Come on.
00:59:17Come on.
00:59:34I'll be glad when this is over.
00:59:37It won't be over for me.
00:59:39I'm heading for the Teton range.
00:59:42There's only one man responsible for this.
00:59:44Trampas.
00:59:46You could only be sure it was Trampas.
00:59:49It's sure enough for me.
00:59:58Just a minute, Barley.
01:00:01I want you to have this money.
01:00:06Don't worry.
01:00:08I didn't steal it.
01:00:11Honey,
01:00:12That old saddle of yours never was any good.
01:00:15You better take mine.
01:00:17Thanks.
01:00:20From Nebraska.
01:00:25I'd like you to have this watch.
01:00:29It's always worth four dollars in any saloon.
01:00:32Thanks, Steve.
01:00:37You got a pencil?
01:00:42You got my gun?
01:00:44Yeah.
01:00:46Keep it with this.
01:00:48Give it to him.
01:00:50Later.
01:00:52All right.
01:00:54We're ready.
01:00:55Bring their horses over.
01:00:57You got my gun.
01:00:59You got my gun?
01:01:00Yeah.
01:01:02Keep it with this.
01:01:04Give it to him.
01:01:06Later.
01:01:08All right.
01:01:10We're ready.
01:01:11Bring their horses over.
01:01:12Get ready.
01:01:13Bring their horses over.
01:01:15Let's go.
01:01:16You got my gun.
01:01:17Don't worry, Shorty.
01:01:42It's the only sure way to break up a cold.
01:01:47Ready?
01:02:02You fellas want to say anything?
01:02:12Good morning.
01:02:19Whee!
01:02:21Whee!
01:02:25Whee!
01:02:27Whee!
01:02:29Whee!
01:02:32All set?
01:02:44All set.
01:03:14Let's go.
01:03:18Daniels.
01:03:20Steve said to give these to you.
01:03:22Thanks, Nebraska.
01:03:24Good luck.
01:03:44Good luck.
01:04:14Good luck.
01:04:44Good luck.
01:05:14Good luck.
01:05:44Good luck.
01:05:54He's alive, but he's got a bullet in his back.
01:06:06Mother will take care of him.
01:06:08She's an old hand to things like this.
01:06:10There isn't anything you can do.
01:06:12I'll take care of him until the doctor comes.
01:06:28His fever seems to be down a little.
01:06:30Now, you quit worrying.
01:06:32He's going to be just fine.
01:06:34You'll be needing a doctor yourself if you don't get some rest.
01:06:36Why, I'm all right. I'm not a bit tired.
01:06:38I know better.
01:06:40I'll take care of him once at once without getting worn out.
01:06:42Except me.
01:06:44When you run along.
01:06:46Recess is almost over.
01:06:48I guess I'd better.
01:06:54Hello, boys.
01:06:55Hello, Miss Molly.
01:06:56How are you, ma'am?
01:06:58Yes, he is.
01:07:00You boys have been wonderful coming over like this.
01:07:02Well, we're sort of interested ourselves.
01:07:04I know.
01:07:05But what about Steve?
01:07:06He's such a good friend and he hasn't come once to visit.
01:07:08Doesn't he know what happened?
01:07:10Steve?
01:07:11Well, he ain't with the Box H outfit no more.
01:07:14Yeah, he left some time ago.
01:07:16Well, if you see him, will you tell him?
01:07:18Oh, and tell him that he left his gun and holster here.
01:07:21Yes, ma'am.
01:07:22I sure will.
01:07:23That is, if I run across him.
01:07:30Hey, Lou.
01:07:31Ah, come on.
01:07:32I don't want to be a prisoner.
01:07:34Let me go.
01:07:35Are you afraid he cares?
01:07:36What's the matter with you?
01:07:37Yeah, what are you afraid of?
01:07:38I ain't afraid of anything.
01:07:39Children, what are you doing?
01:07:40We're playing Rustler.
01:07:41He's a cattle thief.
01:07:42And we're the posse.
01:07:43We're making believe we're lynching him.
01:07:44You shouldn't play games like that.
01:07:45You might hurt yourselves.
01:07:46Well, he said he would.
01:07:47He said he'd be Steve.
01:07:48Steve?
01:07:49Yeah.
01:07:50Steve wasn't a fave when they strung him up.
01:07:52Steve strung up?
01:07:53And he didn't cry.
01:07:55You don't know what you're saying.
01:07:56Yes, I do.
01:07:57They caught him stealing cattle and the Virginian had to string him up.
01:08:00And he didn't cry.
01:08:02You don't know what you're saying.
01:08:04Yes, I do.
01:08:05They caught him stealing cattle and the Virginian had to string him up.
01:08:08You mean, hanged him?
01:08:09Sure.
01:08:15Oh, he gets awesome.
01:08:19I understand!
01:08:20Let me go!
01:08:21Let me go!
01:08:23Let me go!
01:08:24Go!
01:08:25Go!
01:08:26Go!
01:08:27Go!
01:08:28Go!
01:08:29Go!
01:08:30Go!
01:08:31Go!
01:08:32Go!
01:08:43Is it true?
01:08:44Is what true?
01:08:45That Steve was hanged.
01:08:47Now, who had to go and tell you that?
01:08:50Then it is true.
01:08:53Since you already know.
01:08:55Yes.
01:08:57Did he do it?
01:09:00Somebody had to do it.
01:09:01He was in charge and it had to be done.
01:09:06If we don't put the fear of God in these lawbreakers, you couldn't teach school.
01:09:10You couldn't ride a mile safe away from the cabin.
01:09:13Our lives wouldn't be worth anything.
01:09:15It's horrible.
01:09:17Horrible.
01:09:18Steve knew what he was doing.
01:09:20He knew that was the law out here and he took his chance.
01:09:23You have no cause to feel sorry for Steve.
01:09:26Feel sorry for him in there.
01:09:28He's lying there because of lawlessness.
01:09:31He did what he had to do because it was his duty.
01:09:34His duty to lynch a man?
01:09:36There's no likeness between this and lynching.
01:09:39When you lynch a man, you take him out of jail.
01:09:41Out of the rightful hands of the law.
01:09:43Here we have no policemen, no courts and no jails.
01:09:48So we have to do things in our own way.
01:09:50It's downright murder.
01:09:51You respect Judge Henry.
01:09:53Well, it was him who sent the Virginian to do it.
01:09:55And he wasn't the only man who went.
01:09:57There were others.
01:09:58All decent, upstanding men doing what was right.
01:10:01I suppose if you live out here long enough, you become calloused and hard.
01:10:05You lose all sense of decency.
01:10:06It's our law, I tell you.
01:10:08The only kind we've got and I'm grateful for it.
01:10:11We're building a country out here.
01:10:13And there's no place for weaklings, men or women.
01:10:16If that's the way you feel, you'd better get out.
01:10:18You don't belong here.
01:10:19I will.
01:10:20I'll get out of this place as fast as I can.
01:10:22I certainly guessed you wrong.
01:10:25I thought you had spunk.
01:10:27Why, when I was your age, I drove an ox team a thousand miles from Council Bluffs.
01:10:33I shot Comanches with my father lying dead across my knees.
01:10:37My family built a country too.
01:10:39They worked and died just as bravely as you Westerners.
01:10:43Indians.
01:10:44Do you think you're the only ones that fought Indians?
01:10:46Did you ever hear of the Cherry Valley Massacre?
01:10:48My grandfather was killed in that.
01:10:50And my grandmother went 90 miles on foot to get help.
01:10:53And you're proud of them?
01:10:55Of course I'm proud of them.
01:10:56It's too bad you're not more like them.
01:10:59I could do the same thing.
01:11:01I could do everything you did, but I still have a sense of what's right and what's wrong.
01:11:17The boys have gone to stop the stagecoach.
01:11:21I'm sorry for the way I talked to you yesterday.
01:11:24It's all right.
01:11:25You've been like a daughter, going and coming in the house.
01:11:29I guess I got impatient, like you really belonged to me.
01:11:33I wish you'd change your mind.
01:11:36It's best this way.
01:11:38Did you tell him I was going?
01:11:41Not yet.
01:11:42Not yet.
01:11:43I said you were worn out nursing him.
01:11:45And that the doctor had ordered you to bed.
01:11:51Whoa!
01:11:52Hi, Andy!
01:11:53Hi, Taylor!
01:11:54Someone leave him?
01:11:55Yeah?
01:11:56Miss Molly?
01:11:57No.
01:12:01Hello, Andy.
01:12:03You're not really going, Miss Molly.
01:12:05Yes, I am.
01:12:08We need you mighty bad around here.
01:12:13Well, uh...
01:12:14Goodbye, Miss Molly.
01:12:15Goodbye.
01:12:17Goodbye, Mrs. Taylor.
01:12:18Goodbye, Molly.
01:12:19Will you ride up here with me?
01:12:23Why, certainly.
01:12:24Thank you for giving me a home.
01:12:35Yeah!
01:12:54Whoa!
01:13:04What's the matter?
01:13:05You don't want to go, Miss Molly.
01:13:08What makes you think not?
01:13:09You're in love.
01:13:12I most certainly am not, and I'm going home.
01:13:16You know, being in this country,
01:13:19every once in a while we run into a mule that's just so stubborn,
01:13:23he don't know what's good for him.
01:13:25Won't go near food, won't drink.
01:13:27Just for the sake of being ornery,
01:13:29he'd stand in one place and starve to death.
01:13:33The only way to make a move is to build a fire under him.
01:13:38Oh, Andy.
01:13:42That's better.
01:13:44You could run away, but you wouldn't be happy anywhere.
01:13:48And he needs you now.
01:13:50Mighty bad.
01:13:53You go on.
01:13:54I'm back to him.
01:13:59You don't need to...
01:14:01build a fire.
01:14:03Of course not.
01:14:23The foreman get here yet?
01:14:32You don't see him, do you?
01:14:34Well, he might be hiding inside.
01:14:36He don't hide, Trampus.
01:14:38When he does show up, tell him I want to see him.
01:14:41I'll be in here.
01:14:42This would have to happen today.
01:14:57Will the boys be able to come into town tomorrow?
01:14:59They're there already, waiting.
01:15:02You do think we're going to be married the right way.
01:15:05No folks to stare, no fuss or bother.
01:15:07Why, of course.
01:15:09Left out your mother.
01:15:10She couldn't come out here.
01:15:12We could go to her.
01:15:14It isn't too late. We could take the train tonight.
01:15:16You know, our new life has nothing to do with them back east.
01:15:20Someday we'll go, but not now.
01:15:22Tomorrow we'll be in those mountains.
01:15:25There's a little island between two streams.
01:15:27Cool.
01:15:28The smell of pines.
01:15:30I've camped there lots of times.
01:15:32Hope you'll like it.
01:15:34I'm sure I will.
01:15:39Hi, boys.
01:15:40Thought you'd never get here.
01:15:41We've been waiting since morning.
01:15:42Welcome to the bride.
01:15:44You're looking mighty pretty.
01:15:46Looks more like you're going on a pleasure trip than getting married.
01:15:49Say, ma'am, can we borrow him for a spell?
01:15:52Can I trust you to return him?
01:15:54We'll be good.
01:15:55Well, pretty good.
01:15:56Which one can I believe?
01:15:57Neither of them.
01:15:59I'll be with you as soon as I change my clothes.
01:16:00I wouldn't change them if I was you.
01:16:07Don't run off with my bag.
01:16:09See you in a minute.
01:16:11You sure you don't mind my going with the boys?
01:16:14No, of course not.
01:16:15I won't be long.
01:16:16Don't worry about me.
01:16:17I'll be busy with the dressmaker.
01:16:19I think I'll wait and see you in your wedding dress.
01:16:21You can't.
01:16:22Not till the ceremony.
01:16:23It's bad luck.
01:16:24Then I'll go quick.
01:16:25I'm not taking any chances.
01:16:30Go on.
01:16:31The boys are waiting.
01:16:36What is it?
01:16:37Trampus.
01:16:38In there.
01:16:39Looks like he wants some trouble.
01:16:40He's hanging around drinking and talking plenty.
01:16:43Let's have a drink.
01:16:46Across the street.
01:16:47Well, my last drink with you single.
01:16:52Here's how.
01:16:53Someday maybe I'll step out too.
01:16:57Say, there's a friend of yours in town.
01:17:01Did he mention he was my friend?
01:17:04Well, he was saying a lot of things.
01:17:06Well, forget it.
01:17:07I always do.
01:17:09Give us another drink.
01:17:11Said he'd drop back again in case you're interested.
01:17:13Well, we ain't.
01:17:14Where's that drink?
01:17:18We'll take this off your hands.
01:17:19Any or all of us.
01:17:20No, thanks, boys.
01:17:21We'll save you the trouble.
01:17:22Just say the word.
01:17:23It's just a matter between the two of us.
01:17:26I'm hoping he don't drift around.
01:17:27A man don't get married every day.
01:17:28You gotta think of her.
01:17:30Who else would I be thinking of?
01:17:34Look.
01:17:35I'm acting mayor of this town.
01:17:36I can lock him in the calaboos till after you're married anyway.
01:17:44I'm sick of this monkeying around.
01:17:49You.
01:17:50You there.
01:17:55I understand you've been telling the folks around here
01:17:57that I'm the boss of those rustlers you hung.
01:18:01Now tell me.
01:18:02I don't want no fighting here.
01:18:04Shut up.
01:18:06You heard what I said.
01:18:09Trampas,
01:18:10I'm trying not to have trouble with you just now.
01:18:13No.
01:18:14You've been dodging it for years.
01:18:16You're not going to do it any longer.
01:18:19Are you sure you really mean that?
01:18:20Never mind the bluff.
01:18:22I'm calling your hand.
01:18:23All right.
01:18:24What do you got?
01:18:25I've got the belief that you're a lion, white-livered skunk
01:18:28and this country isn't big enough to hold the two of us.
01:18:31So I'm giving you till sundown to get out of town.
01:18:35It's too bad you had to say that, Trampas.
01:18:38Get out.
01:18:39Get out by sundown or I'll shoot you on sight.
01:18:48Well, I guess it had to come.
01:18:51We'll see that his men don't help him.
01:18:53Thanks.
01:18:54Thanks.
01:19:02It won't be long.
01:19:03The sun will be down in less than half an hour.
01:19:05Man, do it quick and do it right.
01:19:07I want some fun out of this wedding.
01:19:09You aren't worried.
01:19:11Who, me?
01:19:14I don't want her to know until it's over.
01:19:16She wouldn't understand.
01:19:46I'm down.
01:19:47My head is very well.
01:19:48I have to know if I was a man.
01:19:56All right, drudy.
01:19:59Then you'll get my hand over you.
01:20:01I want some other 선물.
01:20:02I'll see you.
01:20:04I'll see you later.
01:20:06You'll be right back.
01:20:07I'll see you later.
01:20:09I want some other investors.
01:20:11Some other investors!
01:20:13Open the door.
01:20:23It's been awful waiting for you.
01:20:26I wanted to rush out and find you.
01:20:28They told me.
01:20:30I'm sorry.
01:20:31I'm sorry.
01:20:32I'm sorry.
01:20:33I'm sorry.
01:20:34I'm sorry.
01:20:35I'm sorry.
01:20:36I'm sorry.
01:20:37I'm sorry.
01:20:38I'm sorry.
01:20:39I'm sorry.
01:20:40I'm sorry.
01:20:41I'm sorry.
01:20:42I'm sorry.
01:20:43I'm sorry.
01:20:44They did.
01:20:45Never mind.
01:20:46I've got you now.
01:20:48I wish you didn't have to wait alone, but it won't be long.
01:20:53I did my best.
01:20:54I gave him a chance to change his mind.
01:20:56I gave it to him twice, but he stood to it.
01:20:59He knows he went too far in front of the others to go back on.
01:21:02He'll have to go to the finish now.
01:21:04The finish?
01:21:05You're not going to...
01:21:06I'm not going to let him shoot me.
01:21:08But you're not going to stay here now that I know.
01:21:10We can get away.
01:21:11It's not too late.
01:21:12I have to stay, Molly.
01:21:13But why when there's a choice?
01:21:16Well, he did the choosing, not me.
01:21:18People came to think I was a coward.
01:21:20No one's going to think you're a coward.
01:21:22This is just your pride because you have some idea of personal honor.
01:21:26It's childish, ridiculous.
01:21:28If I ran away, I could never look my friend's square in the eye.
01:21:32Or you either.
01:21:34Can't you see how it is?
01:21:36No, I can't.
01:21:37Perhaps I should, but I can't.
01:21:38When I heard about that other, the hanging of the cattle thieves...
01:21:41I kept saying to myself he had to do it.
01:21:43It was public duty.
01:21:44But you don't have to do this.
01:21:46When I think of tomorrow, of you and me...
01:21:48Molly, listen.
01:21:49No!
01:21:50If you do this, there won't be a tomorrow.
01:21:52I won't come back again.
01:21:54Can you look at me and say that?
01:21:58Can you?
01:22:02Don't do this.
01:22:04For my sake, please.
01:22:08I haven't any choice.
01:22:12I haven't any choice.
01:22:42You haven't any choice.
01:22:45I can do this.
01:22:46I can.
01:22:47I can't...
01:22:48I can't believe this.
01:22:49I can't believe it.
01:22:50I've been a champ of my sins.
01:22:51I have no choice.
01:22:52Then I can't believe it...
01:22:53Of course.
01:22:54I'm saying that!
01:22:55I can't believe it.
01:22:58But I can't believe it.
01:22:59We have no choice.
01:23:00I can't believe it.
01:23:01I can not believe it.
01:23:02I can't believe it.
01:23:33I guess they'll get down to the post office.
01:23:57Well, you haven't finished your drink yet.
01:24:03You haven't finished your drink yet.
01:24:33You haven't finished your drink yet.
01:25:03You haven't finished your drink yet.
01:25:33You haven't finished your drink yet.
01:25:35We've got him cold as a canned mackerel. Come on.
01:25:52Oh, darling, you're safe. It wasn't you.
01:26:05Oh, darling, you're safe.
