00:30All right, let's rest a minute.
00:57Ain't never been to North Fork before. Sure hope we can have us some fun.
01:02You don't object to have a little fun, do you, mister?
01:06Why don't you just shut up?
01:15Stop it!
01:19Hey, you need a little less, too.
01:21Back on your horses.
01:24You shan't let be, hear?
01:38Let's not borrow any trouble from strangers, sir.
01:42I'll handle this.
01:45Yes, friend?
01:48Having trouble?
01:52I don't see that's any of your business, one little bit.
01:55You could be right.
01:56On the other hand, these youngsters might think different.
01:59It wouldn't make you feel any better by taking them, too, into North Fork to get married up.
02:04Take a look, mister. Take a real good look.
02:10It's a gal. She ain't filled out in the proper places yet, but it's a gal.
02:14Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:23Hold on.
02:24Let's get going.
02:29You know, usually people have a right to decide for themselves when and where to get married.
02:33I'm deciding for those two.
02:35Are Kenny yours?
02:36No.
02:37I don't understand if they were.
02:39You're getting to be more than a little curious, Mr. McCain.
02:43But I got no reason to keep it from you.
02:46Well, I'm listening.
02:48My wagon train back there run across them, just outside of Julesburg.
02:52The young fools were trying to make it across Arizona on a buckboard, and it broke down.
02:57When you're young, anything's possible.
02:59They claim to be brothers.
03:01We let them join up, fed them.
03:03Patch their war out.
03:05Ask nothing of them, except that they do their share.
03:08And all the time, they're making a fool out of me.
03:13Then Ma Wilson found out about the girl.
03:17And now you're playing the Almighty.
03:19You can leave the Almighty out of it.
03:21It's me, Aaron Pelser, whose will is being done.
03:26I got good reasons.
03:28Private reasons.
03:29This is no pudding of yours, Mr. McCain.
03:34You can stay out of it.
03:36I advise you.
03:36And so, by the authority vested in me, you, Derry Kenneway, and you, Elizabeth Bishop, are now hitched up good and proper.
03:58Yes, siree.
03:59You've got a ring, son?
04:02Here, take this cigar band and put it on her finger.
04:14That does it.
04:15Refresh with the...
04:16Ain't nobody going to kiss the bride.
04:21Get in there.
04:24Get to the end of the line, boy, I bet.
04:26What do you say we give these two a chivalry tonight?
04:35Takes the style.
04:36Come on.
04:36Come on.
04:40Chivalry is right.
04:41I'm in the right.
04:43Come on, you.
04:43Just get your right foot.
04:45It's time for the chivalry.
04:46Yes.
04:47Come on.
04:49That's all on your life.
04:51What's a chivalry?
04:54What's a chivalry, Paul?
04:58I'll explain later, son.
05:12I've only done what had to be done.
05:15You can both ride with Ma Wilson or actually could.
05:18We're not going on with the train.
05:19You got enough money to carry on?
05:29I'd rather eat dirt than take anything from you.
05:39Mr. Belzer?
05:40You got him married.
05:46Why'd you do it?
05:47You wouldn't understand.
05:49Try me.
05:53I had a daughter about her age.
05:55The only flesh of my flesh.
05:58She ran off to Houston with a man to get married.
06:01Said she was sick of living on land that wouldn't give up enough to eat or to live decent.
06:09They never reached Houston.
06:11They never did get married.
06:13I think I can understand, Mr. Belzer.
06:16But it doesn't make it right.
06:18They said they were going to Yuma to get married.
06:22I couldn't take their word for it.
06:24I could never have lived with myself if I didn't do what I'd done.
06:36Paul?
06:40Those two newlyweds.
06:42What's the matter with them?
06:43They just stand there like they haven't got a place to go.
06:46Well, son?
06:48I wouldn't mind bunking up with you, Paul.
06:51I won't even mind if you snore.
06:53I'm Lucas McCain.
07:03We met on the road to town.
07:06Look, my son and I have got a little spread.
07:09I can use an extra hand.
07:11You're welcome to stay until you're ready to move on.
07:15Thank you, sir.
07:16We'd be mighty obliged.
07:18You're very kind.
07:20Go get your horses.
07:21We'll be right with you.
07:23There's talk of a chivalry, Lucas.
07:32I'm going to try to break it up.
07:34I've seen a few in my time.
07:36Most of them are innocent enough.
07:38But I don't know.
07:39By the time they load up in that bar...
07:41I don't like it.
07:43This one does seem different.
07:44That's why I'm taking them out to my place tonight.
07:45It is elegant.
08:02And you're a very elegant cook, Mark.
08:04Well, when there's only a couple of bachelors knowing how to cook, it's a matter of self-preservation.
08:10We sort of take turns.
08:11I guess knowing it's going to be your turn to cook next.
08:14You don't do much faulting with what's served up.
08:15It teaches you to be a diplomat, even when you've got a bellyache.
08:18You'll grow out in time, Liza.
08:26It's my idea for her to dress up like a boy, Mr. McCain.
08:36It's a long trip.
08:38Well, men don't get to see many real pretty girls out here.
08:43I didn't want to invite trouble.
08:45That makes sense.
08:47Or it could make it seem like I was yellow, though, couldn't it?
08:50No such thing.
08:52He's always fretting about that.
08:54Because he was raised to be peaceable and hate violence.
08:59I think that's what made me love him right off, Mr. McCain.
09:03You're a lucky man, Derek.
09:06A girl just like Elizabeth wore that dress when she married me.
09:16Mark, aren't you kind of falling down on the job, boy?
09:18Why don't you go out and get some firewood?
09:20It's dark early.
09:31Yeah, it sure does.
09:34Look, what I'm trying to say is, uh,
09:36I know you kids want to be alone.
09:38Your room is all fixed up.
09:39Mark will bunk in here with me.
09:42You're very calm, Mr. McCain.
09:44Good night.
09:44Good night.
09:45Yeah, good night.
09:50Mr. McCain, if you didn't hire me on, I don't know how we'd get a stake to get us to Yuma and my folks.
09:58You won't be sorry.
09:59I'll work my fool head off for you.
10:01I told you we had some fences to fix.
10:03We'll get along fine.
10:14I'm awful disappointed in you, Paul.
10:16Huh?
10:16Well, if you wanted to get rid of me, you could have thought of something better than firewood.
10:20I just filled that box this afternoon.
10:23Oh.
10:24Of course, you can't say, I don't need him to please.
10:28No, I can't, son.
10:29Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
10:37Oh, Chucks, everybody knows the shiveries all in the spirit of good, clean fun.
10:41Ain't that right, Ma?
10:42Yeah.
10:42Yeah.
10:42I can't tell you, Chet, let be.
10:57What had to be done is done.
10:59It's all finished now.
11:02So you forget all about it.
11:05You've got no say.
11:07You've got no call to keep us from having a little excitement.
11:09No!
11:12I've been watching you look at that girl ever since you found out she was a girl.
11:22You leave her be.
11:24You making that order?
11:27You hear me?
11:29Leave her be.
11:35I forgot to tell you I'm leaving your wagon train, so you ain't got no call to order me around anymore, old man.
11:42Old man, that's what you are.
11:44You're a weak old man.
11:48Now, why don't you go and drink yourself under the table then?
11:53Now, we're going to have our right for fun after this wedding, or ain't we?
11:56Yeah!
11:58I understand them newlyweds are out of Lucas McCain's.
12:02Now, we'll just go on out there to Lucas McCain's place.
12:05And we're going to get something right after one more drink, and I'm going to fire for us with us!
12:10What's wrong, Paul?
12:28Oh, nothing, sir.
12:30What's a shivory?
12:31Well, it's a practical joke on folks who just got married.
12:36Joke?
12:37That's not a very good one, I'm afraid.
12:39See, folks come and they do all they can to harass the bride and groom.
12:43They, uh, they keep them up.
12:46You think they'll be coming here?
12:48I hope not.
12:49Don't break it up, boy.
13:02Oh, why don't you get in the spirit, Marshal?
13:04It's all good, clean fun.
13:07Why, you can't throw people in jail just for having a good time.
13:09You don't have to explain the law to me.
13:11Just make sure it stays fun and nothing more.
13:13It's your move, Paul.
13:35You're not letting me win, are you, Paul?
13:43No, I'm not, son.
13:44I guess I'm just thinking about the moves I might have coming up later on.
13:47I guess I'm just thinking about the moves I might have come up later on.
14:17I guess it's time for me to get some more firewood.
14:23What is it, Derek?
14:29Well, you might as well know that I'm going to be sleeping in the barn as long as we're here.
14:34That's kind of unusual for a honeymoon, isn't it?
14:37What happened today don't count.
14:40See, we don't feel like we're married.
14:43Oh?
14:44Well, not until we get married again in Yuma.
14:47What's so important about Yuma?
14:51Well, I guess what we're doing seems a little unusual to you, Mr. McCain, but...
14:56You see, my father's a minister in Yuma, and Liza and I just don't want anybody else to marry us.
15:03Well, that's understandable.
15:04The whole clan is planning to gather for the occasion.
15:09See, Liza doesn't have any folks, and a family wedding means a good deal to her.
15:13If it weren't for that, we could have just as well gotten married in Julesburg.
15:18Well, if you both feel so strong about her, it's got to be right.
15:21They're coming for the chivalry.
15:28They say it's all in fun, but I don't know.
15:32Well, it might be just fun for most of those folks, but...
15:34I don't think it's that way with Chet Packard.
15:38I think you better go in with Liza.
15:41Mark, you go with him.
15:42Hey, there they come.
16:11Hey!
16:11Hey!
16:11Hey!
16:11Hey!
16:11Hey!
16:11Hey!
16:12Hey!
16:12Hey!
16:12Now, look, look, you folks may mean well, but these are only a couple of frightened kids.
16:18What you've got in mind could easily hurt them.
16:20Ah, come on, fetch them out here. Nobody's going to hurt them none.
16:23All we want them to do is jubilate with us.
16:28Look, I'm asking you to please leave them alone.
16:31I don't think you understand, mister.
16:35We rode all the way out here for the lawful fun of a shivery.
16:39And we mean to have it.
16:43Jerry will keep them busy while we go around the back.
16:49Look, I'm not usually one who's opposed to a shivery, but this occasion's different.
16:54What makes it different, mister?
16:57My telling you.
16:59That ain't no fair reason.
17:01Now, we ain't aiming for violence, and if you feel the same, well, just give us a fair reason.
17:07Yeah!
17:12Now, look, you folks know the couple. They're just youngsters.
17:25So if you folks have any feeling at all about young people, why don't you forget about this shivery?
17:30It's now mighty convincing, mister.
17:34But now you tell us, why are you sticking your neck out for a boring girl you never laid eyes on before yesterday?
17:40Well, maybe it's because of the way I am.
17:42I've been talking up to here, now I'm telling you.
17:59All of you!
18:00Get off my property.
18:01Mike, you go ahead. I'll be right with you.
18:20Get off my property!
18:22Get off my property!
18:24Get off my property!
18:26Get off my property!
18:27Get off my property!
18:29Get off my property!
18:30Go ahead!
18:32Go ahead!
18:33Go ahead!
18:34Come on!
18:35Go ahead!
18:36Come on!
18:37Come on, go ahead!
18:38Go ahead!
18:39Go ahead!
18:40Go ahead!
18:41Come on!
18:42Come on!
18:45Come on!
18:46Drink a little of that stuff, honey! That won't hurt you none.
18:49That stuff will make a real woman out of you.
18:51a real woman out of you.
18:53Won't bring her down slow, enjoy yourself, honey.
19:03Put her down!
19:08All right, I'll put her down.
19:11Now let her go.
19:16I told you before, I ain't in your wagon train no more, Grandpa.
19:21I know you didn't mean that, so I won't have to pay you back.
19:29Instead of going down here and I'll pour you a little drink.
19:35Stand here, swallow it down, mind your own affairs.
19:38That's right, ain't it, Aaron?
19:41Go on, drink it.
19:44Mind your own affairs.
19:46Yes, you will, Grandpa.
19:48I'll take the bunch down the street.
19:53You take the saloon.
19:55Sure you will.
19:57No!
19:58No!
19:59No!
20:03It's all right nice.
20:04I'm sure you are.
20:20It's all right, Liza.
20:27Hey!
20:29Stop it! Stop it!
20:31Look at him good! A man owes it to his woman to be nice and clean.
20:34All right, let him go. Let the boy go.
20:37You've gone too far. Now let him go and break it up.
20:40Come on, all of you.
20:44Come on, son.
20:47Come on, boy. There you are. You're all right.
20:54Give me that gun.
21:01Come on.
21:04Come on.
21:06Come on.
21:08Come on.
21:10Come on.
21:12My legs!
21:15Somebody help me!
21:17Somebody help me!
21:19My legs!
21:21I'll shoot anybody!
21:23The cops near the door!
21:24It's Derek.
21:25He's in there.
21:26Boy, listen to me.
21:27This is the marshal talking.
21:28I'm sorry, marshal, but that goes for you, too.
21:32Son, I'm gonna give you three seconds to come out.
21:34And I'm coming in after you.
21:35Micah.
21:37If you go in there, you'll make that boy a real criminal.
21:39The whole town's losing respect for the law.
21:41I'm not talking about the town, I'm talking about the boy.
21:44He didn't ask for any of this.
21:45But it happened.
21:46Now he's a part of it.
21:47And the girl?
21:49Micah, let me give it a try.
21:50He just might trust me.
21:52All right.
21:54Go ahead.
21:56I'm sorry.
21:57I'm sorry.
21:58I'm sorry.
21:59I'm sorry.
22:00I'm sorry.
22:01I'm sorry.
22:02I'm sorry.
22:03I'm sorry.
22:04I'm sorry.
22:05I'm sorry.
22:06I'm sorry.
22:07I'm sorry.
22:08I'm sorry.
22:09I'm sorry.
22:10Derek, it's Lucas McCain.
22:25I want you to put down that shotgun.
22:28No!
22:29I'm gonna make him crawl for the rest of his life just like he made me crawl.
22:33I'm gonna do the same thing to that evil old man over there.
22:38If you shoot, boy, you're gonna shoot me.
22:41Don't make me do it, Mr. McCain.
22:43Derek, this man needs a doctor bad.
22:46Nobody's gonna help him.
22:47Nobody!
22:50You don't have to crawl anymore, son.
22:53Unless you pull that trigger.
22:57I mean it, Mr. McCain.
22:59Derek, you still have a chance to walk out of there with your head held high.
23:04Now, which is it gonna be, son?
23:16Get that man to a doctor.
23:29It's all right, son.
23:31Maybe the Lord will forgive me.
23:32I know you never will.
23:33I locked Lys in the Marshal's office.
23:34She's waiting for you.
23:35I locked Lys in the Marshal's office.
23:37She's waiting for you.
23:38I locked Lys in the Marshal's office.
23:39She's waiting for you.
23:41I know you never will.
23:50I locked Lys in the Marshal's office.
23:54She's waiting for you.
24:11She's waiting for you.
24:41She's waiting for you.
25:11She's waiting for you.
