Transcript
00:00The End
00:30On the edge of the American desert lies a forest turned to stone,
00:44the petrified forest.
00:45Grim, silent, mysterious.
00:48Here in a lonely desert tavern, fate draws together a strange company.
00:53Alan Squire, a vagabond adventurer running away from his past.
00:56Gabrielle Maple, a beautiful girl weary of the desert solitude.
01:00Eager to escape with the first man who comes her way.
01:02Bose Hammond, an ex-football hero down his luck.
01:06Paul Chisholm, multimillionaire banker vacationing with his disillusioned young wife, Dorothy.
01:11Gramp Maple, a sly old reprobate.
01:14And Duke Mantee, vicious leader of a notorious band of gunmen hiding out after a gang massacre.
01:20In the short space of 24 eventful hours, these characters live a lifetime of romance, adventure, terror and tragedy.
01:27It's one of the most unusual stories ever brought to the screen.
01:30The petrified forest.
01:32Well, if you must know, I'll tell you the extent of my pride.
01:36Gabrielle gave me this dollar.
01:38You did?
01:39It's none of your business.
01:41Would you like to know what she was going to give me when those rats showed up?
01:44Would you like to know?
01:45Well, speaking of rats, of all the lobs, slimy steam.
01:47Ah, ah, ah, now, Gabrielle, now, you mustn't blame Bose.
01:49You must remember, he's a man of muscle.
01:52He's suffering from the pangs of frustration.
01:54I said you were a dirty lobs.
01:56I'm sorry, Gabby.
01:56I didn't mean it.
01:57Honest, I didn't.
01:58They've got me absolutely crazy mad with all those guns staring me in the face.
02:01Shut up, Bose.
02:06I'll step over to the other side of the room, halfback.
02:10Wouldn't you like someone to be in love with you?
02:12Yes, Gabrielle, I would like someone in love with me.
02:19Do you think I'm attractive?
02:21There are better words than that for what you are.
02:36Do you mind if I speak up, my dear?
02:38Perhaps I could tell you some things that...
02:40What do you know about me?
02:41I don't know about you, my dear.
02:44But I do know what it means to repress yourself and starve yourself.
02:47What were you saying?
02:48I'm telling you, for your own good, Manti.
02:50They know where you're heading.
02:51They're picked up on your trail.
02:52And they'll get you.
02:53What's the matter with you, Duke?
02:54Do something.
02:55Shut up.
02:55Shut up.
02:56Give me time to take.
02:57No, Duke.
02:58You want revenge, don't you?
03:00You want to go out of your way again to get that blonde who snitched.
03:03Well, don't do it, Duke.
03:04She has snitched.
03:05Come on, Duke.
03:06I told you to shut up.
03:07You know they're going to get you anyway.
03:08You're obsolete, Duke, like me.
03:10You've got to die.
03:11Well, then die for freedom.
03:13That's worth it.
03:14Don't give up your life for anything so cheap and unsatisfactory as revenge.
03:29Any woman's worth everything that any man has to give.
03:32Anguish, ecstasy, faith, jealousy, love, hatred, life or death.
03:38Sometimes I feel as if I was sparkling all over.
03:41And I want to go out and do something absolutely crazy and marvelous.
03:45Just keep in mind that I and the boys as candidates for hanging.
03:49The first time any one of you makes a wrong move, I'm going to kill a whole lot of you.
03:53I'm going to kill a whole much, I guess.
03:55The first time no one moves.
03:55I'm going to kill a whole lot.
03:57A multi-compagner.
04:00I'm going to kill a ghost.
04:01Well, it won't kill a good man.
04:01Something funny.
04:03I got weak.
04:05I'm got weak.
