00:00don't come and i came with mary's blessing i ain't decided whether i'm staying
00:05get off
00:35Ain't a huckster yet's been able to make it to the porch.
00:47And you're welcome to give it a go.
00:50I beg your pardon, ma'am, but I'm no huckster.
00:54Don't care for liars, neither.
00:57I can spot you boys a mile out.
01:00Ain't no self-respecting cowboy wearing no glittery knife out here on the frontier.
01:05Just begging for a bandit to lift it off you.
01:08You salesmen might be good at talking others out of their money.
01:12You are sure darn fool with your own.
01:17Now state your business.
01:19You'll be gone.
01:22I came here to commission the services of the best seamstress in all of the Badlands.
01:28Although, perhaps, I should reconsider.
01:31After all, I'm a darn fool with my money.
01:35Customer.
01:38Well, why didn't you say so to begin with?
01:43Come on.
01:50Well, you're in luck.
01:52I've got two pelts left over from last winter.
01:55Buck's getting a popular get-up around these parts.
01:58Well, I've wanted a suit since I was a boy.
01:59Better move that darn foot and everything else attached to it.
02:02Sincere's topologies, ma'am.
02:06Ain't no ma'am, neither.
02:08Just maddox.
02:10A huckster I could spot a mile out.
02:13But a Roosevelt.
02:15At arm's length, I suppose.
02:16Heard you were trying your hand out this way ranching, anyhow.
02:22I'm from New York myself, you know.
02:25Upstate.
02:26You've never heard of it.
02:29But buckskin ain't practical out here.
02:31It don't breathe, and it shrinks when it storms, and it storms aplenty.
02:36It's not four every day.
02:39It's for a profile.
02:40The paper's back east.
02:42It's high time they knew the ranchman and not the politician.
02:45I've got a photographer coming.
02:49I can't measure you if you don't stand up straight.
02:52Sorry, the ride must have tuckered me.
02:56Hold on.
03:00I'm just fine.
03:02Here.
03:09As I was saying, a photographer is en route from New York.
03:15He should be here in around five days.
03:18So the suit must be ready.
03:22It'll be ready.
03:24By the skin of my teeth, but it will be ready.
03:32Thank you, Maddox.
03:39Mr. Roosevelt?
03:40Mr. Roosevelt?
03:45Mr. Roosevelt?
04:04THE END
04:34Well, that's mighty sweet of Aunt Mary.
04:44Did she miss me?
04:49I certainly miss her.
04:51Especially her cooking.
04:54Heck of a lot tastier than what I got going in the kitchen, that's for sure.
04:58Is all that yapping just to say the dinner's ready?
05:00Well, Uncle, folks out here, they might call that Polak Conversation.
05:15Warner, could that be?
05:16Take a big, deep breath on me.
05:40Give me one more.
05:55Infection of the digestive system.
05:58Enteritis.
05:59Mm-hmm.
06:00You needn't have some of the doctor.
06:02I easily could have told you as much.
06:04Just relax now, Mr. Roosevelt.
06:07Bosh, Bill.
06:09I've beaten this many times before, and...
06:12I will beat it once more.
06:14With respect, sir.
06:16I was in New York.
06:17With sanitary conditions and plentiful medicine.
06:20You're in no condition to be doing much of anything, and it's going to take us a better part of a week to get the proper remedies out from Chicago.
06:28I cannot wait a week.
06:31I have important preparations to attend to enough of this foolishness.
06:35Now, you just lie yourself down, Mr. Roosevelt.
06:38You got yourself a condition, and throwing a temper tantrum ain't going to make it no better.
06:42Keep him well-rested.
06:54Plenty of water.
06:56Fever should break in a day or two with any luck.
06:59Without luck.
07:01Just keep him rested, huh?
07:04The photographer is expecting an excerpt from my book about my exploits on the frontier thus far.
07:17If it is not finished when he arrives, then...
07:20Then he won't get it.
07:22Will he?
07:29I've seen this one time too many.
07:31Just as good a chance that his fever don't break, then it does.
07:37So, what do we do?
07:40Well, I can tend to him here, but...
07:43What your boss needs is Taywody.
07:45Taywody?
07:47Not familiar.
07:48It's a local medicine.
07:49From the Sioux Village, just a ways north here.
07:52Sioux?
07:53That's right.
07:55Taywody's made from the sweet flower and bitter roots that grow near him.
07:59Remedy for just about anything that ails you.
08:02If only Merrifield were here.
08:03He'd ride there and back with something quick.
08:07I don't know Merrifield, but...
08:09I'll give it a go.
08:13Uncle, I can go.
08:15You're still a little shaky in the saddle.
08:17Well, whoever's gone, they gotta go now.
08:20Mr. Roosevelt ain't got so much time.
08:21You ride straight on.
08:25There ain't no reason why you can't be back by sundown tomorrow.
08:29Let's get on then.
08:30I'm afraid he's done for, man.
08:58If the fish are spoiled by the time they reach Dakota, imagine their arrival in New York.
09:10Freight from Columbia is too slow.
09:15It ain't lasting between the ice houses.
09:17Well, until they build faster trains.
09:21We'll just have to build more ice houses.
09:24Won't we?
09:25Makes perfect sense.
09:26Oh, this arrived for you.
09:49Everything all right, ma'am?
09:51I am wonderful.
09:58Simply wonderful.
10:02What do you want me to do about the...
10:04The fish.
10:06Good girl.
10:22Yeah.
10:24I know we're both tired, but...
10:26I'll keep at it if you will.
10:29Yeah!
10:29Yeah!
10:29Yeah!
10:29Yeah!
10:29Yeah!
10:36Now, just you relax.
10:51This ain't for you.
10:54Not yet, anyway.
10:55I ain't missed a deadline yet.
11:01And I ain't about to.
11:05My seamstress and my warden.
11:08By any name, I intend to see that you get better.
11:11If only to see how silly you look in this get-up when it's done.
11:18It's the dress of the American frontier.
11:23And what's next, then?
11:24Hmm?
11:25A top hat like Abraham Lincoln?
11:28Hmm.
11:30You just worry about getting better.
11:33Oh, I will get better.
11:36This will not beat me.
11:39Oh, I believe you.
11:41Now rest.
11:41Oh, I believe you.
12:11Boo!
12:30What's the matter?
12:31Does Theodore have a tummy ache?
12:34Let me be!
12:35Or what?
12:35You'll cough on us?
12:37Go away!
12:38We'll see you!
12:39Will!
12:59Hey!
12:59What's going on there?
13:03Daddy won't always be around to protect you, Theodore.
13:06Theodore.
13:11Theodore.
13:13You were supposed to stay inside until your pain subsided.
13:16It's never really gone.
13:18It always comes back.
13:23Come on.
13:23Come on, sit up now.
13:24Do you remember our trip to Africa?
13:31Of course.
13:32The jackals on the safari.
13:34Do you remember how they always went after the week of prey?
13:38There are plenty of jackals in this world, Theodore.
13:41And they will always come for you if you let them.
13:43But it is not their choice.
13:46It is yours.
13:50Just as you've chosen to strengthen your character,
13:53so too must you also your body.
13:55And we can make your body, Theodore.
14:02But until you have that strength,
14:05you must project it,
14:08or the jackals will have you up.
14:15Come on.
14:16Just go inside and get that cleaned up.
14:19And you'll need yet another pair of glasses.
14:21Come on.
14:51Beast.
14:53What?
14:55What's your eye mean to you?
15:01Easy, easy.
15:03Easy, shh.
15:09I went and pushed you too far, didn't I?
15:21All right.
15:28We best get going.
15:31It's a little log ahead of us.
15:33Come on.
15:34With a second mine in the Black Hills,
15:46we'll have the clay extracted by the spring,
15:49and we will finally...
15:50Stop.
15:50My love, we were just...
15:56Get out.
16:09What is the meaning of this?
16:10I've been looking for you everywhere.
16:24He can't be serious.
16:26Father feels he has given us enough.
16:28But for certain he must understand what we are trying to build here.
16:34What he understands is profit and our lack thus far.
16:38We are sprung too thin across too many ventures,
16:42too many industries.
16:46Gutless old fool.
16:49We will find the money elsewhere.
16:51Let us sell the hotel.
17:00I beg your pardon.
17:02It will take far too long to turn the profit in itself.
17:09First, you insult my father.
17:12And then you offer my business to be sacrificed.
17:16It is you who was quite a so thin, dearest.
17:18And now you have put our entire enterprise
17:20in the mercy of the coming roundup
17:22and our fate
17:23in the hands of those who do not wish us to succeed.
17:30So,
17:31we must consider those whose fate is in our hands.
17:36Who have benefited from our mercy.
17:40We will call in our debts.
17:42You know, you ought to be thanking me.
18:03Yeah.
18:04Most cowboys, they put you out of your misery.
18:07Huh?
18:09Nothing.
18:09Okay, well...
18:13You're welcome.
18:17He's not on that girl.
18:21There's a fire.
18:23Come on.
18:23Let's go.
18:24Come on.
18:25Come on.
18:29Come on.
18:31Come on.
18:33Come on.
18:35Come on.
18:37Come on.
18:38Come on.
18:39Come on.
18:39Two more steps.
18:50All right, son.
18:53Happy birthday.
18:54What is all this?
19:10Tools, Theodore.
19:12These are the tools you'll need to make your body.
19:15Three days a week?
19:17Be dedicated to lifting.
19:20We'll have someone here to help you.
19:21And on Wednesdays, Mr. Coulson, who's the champion of the gym, is going to train you in boxing.
19:25A life worth living is active and inquisitive, Theodore, wasted only when you've stopped discovering and you've stopped challenging yourself.
19:37You can't let your body dictate its limits.
19:40Your mind is strong enough to reach beyond.
19:44But, Dad, the doctor said I should...
19:49No, it's not about the doctors.
19:51It's up to you.
19:52Here.
19:53Here.
19:54Come here.
19:55Come on now.
19:56Ball of a fist.
19:57Like this.
19:58Put your thumbs on the outside.
20:00Both hands.
20:01I want you to bend your knees.
20:03I want you to bend your knees.
20:05Right?
20:07Okay.
20:08Now, using only these first two knuckles, I want you to hit straight into the back.
20:13Good.
20:24Keep those knees bent.
20:26Shoulders strong.
20:33Excuse me, ma'am.
20:42Oh, man, his word.
20:48Rosie.
20:50You don't look so pleased to see me.
20:53No, I'm pleased.
20:55I'm more than pleased.
20:57It's just...
20:59Well, these are Mr. Roosevelt.
21:00They're leftovers from the old hotel.
21:02How did you know?
21:04Well, that's simple, ain't it?
21:06I told Doc Stickney to fetch me and my niece, girl.
21:08What took you so long?
21:10Well, so...
21:11Auntie Maddox took over looking after me after my folks passed.
21:14And she turned out pretty well to spidey.
21:18Auntie Wilma, here's the one I was telling you about.
21:21The handsome fella.
21:23Auntie.
21:24Don't pay no mind to her.
21:26Well, I should be getting back to work now.
21:28You be careful, you hear?
21:29Of course.
21:32Rosie.
21:35That...
21:36That was awful kind of you.
21:38Of course.
21:39Don't worry.
21:40Mr. Roosevelt's in good hands.
21:42I'm sure.
21:45Hey, uh...
21:47Do you...
21:49It's dark out and...
21:51Do you need someone to ride back home with you?
21:52No, that's all right.
21:53The hotel bug driver brought me.
21:56Oh, okay.
21:58Okay.
22:00Well...
22:01Good night, Wilma.
22:02Good night, Rosie.
22:03Good night, Rosie.
22:19Ma'am?
22:21Uh...
22:22Mm.
22:24Yes, ma'am.
22:36All right.
22:39Wish me luck, girl.
22:40Good night, girl.
22:46Now, it ain't polite to lurk like that.
22:49Made you some tea, Mr. Roosevelt.
23:04If you can keep it down.
23:05Mr. Roosevelt?
23:11Mr. Roosevelt?
23:12Theodore Roosevelt.
23:13Only my enemies...
23:15...and my mother...
23:16...have taken such a tone.
23:17Theodore Roosevelt
23:30Only my enemies
23:33And my mother
23:35Have taken such a tone
23:37Well you'll be feeling the wrath of both of them
23:40If you don't get yourself back into that bed this instant
23:42I
23:43Just need to finish
23:45This excerpt
23:47And then I'll be right back to resting
23:49As you said
23:51I've never missed a deadline
23:54And I'm not about to
23:56Well I wouldn't have said that if I was knocking on the gates of heaven
23:59Then I'd be doing more important things
24:01Making some darn fool his shirt
24:02Don't go thinking that you're the first stubborn man
24:06I've ever come across
24:07There used to be a Mr. Maddox you know
24:10Try to raise his hands to me
24:12While under the whims of whiskey
24:13I tell you what
24:15I showed him the underside of an iron stove lid
24:18I ain't never seen him since
24:19Are you resorting to threats now?
24:23I'll resort to whatever I see fit
24:25In order to get you on the mend
24:27Why do you care?
24:32I am but a stranger to you
24:34You ain't a stranger
24:35You're a neighbor
24:37And if neighbors don't look out for each other
24:40Ain't no one gonna make it out here
24:41I've made my decision
24:54I will return to bed
24:57Come on
25:00This way
25:03Careful
25:05Is this entirely necessary?
25:21Stranger rides onto your property under dark?
25:24I'd say so
25:25And if he said he needed help
25:27I'd believe him
25:29Look
25:32All I'm asking is to swap horses
25:35I'll make you a fair offer
25:38Money's fair, sure
25:41Except it leaves us stranded with a broken pony
25:45While you take off with our good one
25:47Money is just a gesture of good faith
25:50Now I'll get you a fresh horse, a good horse
25:53Once I get back to the ranch
25:56And, uh
25:57Whose ranch did you say this was again?
26:03Mr. Theodore Roosevelt
26:05And who else you got on that ranch, huh?
26:11Wyatt Earp
26:11Please
26:13Please
26:16My friend is suffering
26:19You need to lay me further, Will
26:22And he may
26:24He may meet his end
26:26He takes us for a couple of simpletons
26:30Just right for the hoodwinking
26:32With that bum pony
26:34I ain't hoodwinking no one
26:35Check his pockets
26:38Get up
26:40Maybe it's an autograph from Theodore himself
26:53What else you got?
27:02Hey
27:03Ponce
27:04Calm down, Walt
27:07I think he's telling the truth
27:12This woman
27:14She mentions that Roosevelt
27:18It would be an awful big act to have wrote all this up just in case
27:23Seems to me the only thing you might be guilty of is
27:27Making your wife quite lonely
27:30Had to leave Mary back east
27:37Didn't have to do nothing
27:39Ain't safe out here
27:43That one there told me the same thing
27:48When he said he wanted to come out and go full homestead
27:51Except
27:53I didn't let him tell me no
27:55The way I see it
27:59We struggle
28:01We struggle together
28:03And build our future out here together
28:07Do you understand?
28:14Yeah
28:14Give him the horse, Walt
28:20What?
28:23Man's got places to be
28:25Thank you, ma'am
28:31Now don't forget about us
28:35And good luck with Mr. Roosevelt
28:38Marquis?
29:05Marquis?
29:07Bob
29:08To what do we owe the pleasure?
29:16Hmm
29:17That's a lovely piano, isn't it?
29:20And recently tuned
29:26Just last week
29:29After a few cowhands
29:30Got a little routing near it
29:31Had to place a few of the ivories, too
29:33Curious
29:34That you can afford such luxuries
29:37And yet remain months behind on rent
29:41Now then
29:43That there's necessary
29:45To bring in customers
29:46There isn't another saloon for 20 miles, Bob
29:49I think your customers
29:53Can make do
29:55You know I'm good for the money
29:57Then be good for it now
29:59Bob
30:00Now look here
30:07Don't matter who you are
30:09Don't matter who you are
30:09I don't care if nobody
30:10Questioning my honor
30:11Or trying to shake me down
30:13You refuse to honor your debt?
30:16If you're going to shoot me
30:23Then best go and do it
30:25I'll settle the debt
30:28In due course
30:28And word of advice?
30:32Next time you want to go threaten the fella
30:33Maybe bring someone a bit sturdier
30:35And do threaten
30:36Find advice
30:39My wife was very clear, Bob
30:45Your bill has come due
30:48I'll pay
30:48Every cent
30:49Bye tomorrow
30:51Let's work
30:51We are exercising our legal right
31:01To collect all outstanding debts
31:04Put the world out
31:06If any soul owes our enterprise
31:09A single cent
31:10It is time to settle up

34:17Oh, Ben.
34:46This is Maddox.
34:56Mr. Roosevelt going to pull through?
34:58If this fever don't break soon, he ain't going to last a night.
35:02What do you think I'm going to tell you, Theodore?
35:11Nothing I haven't heard a hundred times.
35:13That I have asthma, a bad heart, and I'm blind as a bat.
35:19You forgot about your weak stomach.
35:21Look, you shouldn't be running upstairs, much less going on extravagant hunting trips.
35:27Are you suggesting that I'm not taking my health seriously?
35:30Because that's precisely the reason why I called you here.
35:32I'm to be married next month, and I want to be strong for her.
35:38Well, if you also intend to live a long life with her, then it needs to be a sedentary one.
35:43I've been told that by everyone my entire life.
35:47Everyone except my father.
35:52I was sorry to hear of his passing.
35:55With all due respect, if he were here now, he would tell you the same as I.
35:59That the life you describe is not one worth living.
36:01Not a moment too soon.
36:18We'd take a detour, did we?
36:20It's a long story.
36:23Theodore, can you hear me?
36:25I made it, boy.
36:27Come on.
36:28You got to fight.
36:30You hear me, Theodore?
36:31You got to fight.
36:33You hear me?
36:39Mr. Roosevelt, I need you to drink this now.
36:43You going to be all right?
36:44Maybe.
36:46Just maybe.
36:49Oh, no.
36:50Oh, no.
37:01I'm here to see Mr. Roosevelt.
37:06Is he in?
37:07Mr. Roosevelt is, uh...
37:09He's, uh...
37:09He most certainly is.
37:20Shall we get started?
37:21Could we try it without the glasses?
37:36Of course.
37:43That's great, Mr. Roosevelt.
37:45I ain't much use for any of this.
37:54You gentlemen, take care.
37:56You as well, ma'am.
37:58Boy, you best stop calling me ma'am
38:00if you want to keep things straight
38:01between you and my Rosie.
38:02Uh, Mrs. Maddox.
38:05Just Maddox.
38:07Just Maddox.
38:08And to stay still.
38:27Uncle, this all seems silly as heck, don't it?
38:40Absolutely perfect, Mr. Roosevelt.
38:43Well, I don't know what to tell you, Will.
38:47He said it was perfect.
38:48We have been receiving payments all day.
39:09For debts I do not even recall holding.
39:13Good.
39:14But I doubt they are enough to build mines.
39:17Or ice houses.
39:21Those can wait.
39:23You are enough.
39:27You were right.
39:30About the hotel.
39:32It may never turn a profit.
39:36But it was never about that.
39:40We must civilize this place
39:43if you intend us to stay.
39:45And not for some greater good.
39:48For us.
39:52For the family we'll build here.
39:58Family.
40:01Are you saying that you...
40:02Not yet.
40:05But someday soon.
40:08After all.
40:08What good is an empire
40:11without an heir?
40:14You guys keep drinking this.
40:35I'm on the mend.
40:43Just...
40:44Well, that posing took it out of me.
40:47And it turns out that buckskin doesn't breathe so well.
40:53You saved my life, Bill.
40:55How do they do it?
41:00How do they do it?
41:01These men in Dakota.
41:04They look death.
41:05Right in the eye and they do not blink.
41:07Yeah, you just ain't seen them blink.
41:11They're no braver than us.
41:17I've been...
41:18Thinking about Mary a lot.
41:22Thinking that maybe...
41:24You know, us being apart...
41:26It ain't so good.
41:28What are you saying, Bill?
41:34Do you wish to go back?
41:39No.
41:41I want Mary here.
41:44Start my own adventure with her.
41:46The good, the bad, and...
41:48And all it brings.
41:48Well...
41:52I'd be delighted.
41:55Let's say you bring her here after the roundup.
41:58Once all the work is completed.
42:01All right, then.
42:03I was planning on heading home in winter anyhow.
42:06Looks like the train will just be a little more crowded
42:08coming back in the spring.
42:10Well...
42:11It sure will be nice to have a woman's touch
42:14around the place, won't it?
42:15Yeah.
42:18I'm going to kill your heart
42:20knowing I don't know how much is happening.
42:23But she says she is trying to meet Travis.
42:24We can wait by her now.
42:25I'll see you.
42:25Have a good time.
42:26Bye-bye.
42:26Bye-bye.
42:27Bye-bye.
42:28Bye-bye.
42:31Bye-bye.
42:34Bye-bye.
42:35Bye-bye.
42:36Bye-bye.
42:37Bye-bye.
42:40Bye-bye.
42:41Bye-bye.
42:46Bye-bye.
