00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00Five years after the end of the Civil War,
00:01:24a thousand-mile cattle trail stretched from the plains of Texas
00:01:28to the railroad depots in Kansas.
00:01:31For 90 grueling days,
00:01:34through dust, heat, flies, loneliness,
00:01:37cowboys pushed Texas cattle northward along the Abilene Trail
00:01:41at an average speed of three-quarters of a mile an hour
00:01:45toward Abilene, Kansas,
00:01:47where raw bread southern beef could be turned into hard eastern cash.
00:01:53Abilene was the end of the trail,
00:01:56the end of the trailhead's thousand-mile, 90-day-long boredom.
00:02:02What kind of a town is this?
00:02:21Not a saloon on that side of the street.
00:02:23Ah, just wasted nothing but stalls.
00:02:25Come on!
00:02:26A saloon on that side of the street.
00:02:33Triumph in redeeming grace.
00:02:38Oh, refresh us, oh, refresh us,
00:02:44traveling through this wilderness.
00:02:51Thanks, sweet tears, and adoration,
00:02:55for my love has joyful sung.
00:03:00May the truth of my salvation
00:03:05hear the heart and life abound.
00:03:11Ever faithful, ever faithful
00:03:16To the truth may we be alone
00:03:24Oh, I hate the wind that howls across the prairie
00:03:33I hate to hear the coyotes' nightly song
00:03:37I hate the sound of six guns that they carry
00:03:41It's much too hot in summertime
00:03:43It's much too cold in winter
00:03:45But listen, mister, please don't get me wrong
00:03:49I love it out here in the West
00:03:52Because the West is best for loving
00:03:56When the stars are shining and the moon is low
00:04:00You'll find me out with my Romeo
00:04:04At least I was always repressed
00:04:07That's why I love it out in the West
00:04:11I love it out here in the West
00:04:14Because the life is free and easy
00:04:18You can do most anything you doggone please
00:04:23There's room to stretch
00:04:25Sorry, Rita.
00:04:27Why aren't you in church with the storekeepers?
00:04:30I was
00:04:31See that sign there, mister?
00:04:34We've only got two little laws here
00:04:36Don't break them, friend
00:04:38Her singing sounds better anyway
00:04:40If you don't shoot at it
00:04:41Oh!
00:04:42I hate the everlasting smell of cattle
00:04:49I hate the flies that buzz around my head
00:04:53I hate the sound of rattlers when they rattle
00:04:57It's much too far from home
00:04:59We hope it's hard to be a lady
00:05:01But listen, mister, please don't be misled
00:05:04I love it out here in the West
00:05:08Because the life is free and easy
00:05:12You can do most anything you doggone please
00:05:16There's room to stretch
00:05:18And there's room to breathe
00:05:20I'm just brimming over with that
00:05:23Because I love it out in the West
00:05:46Wonder Rita didn't slug you
00:05:48She works too hard as being mean, Charlie
00:05:51Real meanness comes from natural
00:05:53Hmm
00:06:02Guess he got past my boys without being seen
00:06:04Getting to be a habit, watch
00:06:06Aren't thinking of closing me up, are you?
00:06:09I wouldn't want to
00:06:10The merchants crossed the street wouldn't let you
00:06:12No saloons, no trail herds
00:06:14No trail herds
00:06:15And the merchants starved to death
00:06:17Right as rain, Charlie
00:06:20Then what do you want?
00:06:22Because if it's Rita
00:06:24Maybe I can fix it up for you
00:06:26Keep out
00:06:31This is private
00:06:33Just put that on the bill
00:06:36Anything else?
00:06:38Anything else?
00:06:39There's nothing I want from you, Charlie
00:06:41Except what's on those signs
00:06:43Only honorary women can get away with that, mister
00:06:53Shooting off guns during church services?
00:07:06Other side of the street is getting out of hand again
00:07:08What was that shooting we heard?
00:07:09Custom at the pride got a little too enthusiastic, that's all
00:07:20Carry their church with them, don't they?
00:07:21Looking for you, Boulder
00:07:22Hello, Mr. Raggo
00:07:24Welcome back to Abilene
00:07:25Nice trip north?
00:07:26Not bad
00:07:27Here's a list of the stuff we'll need in the morning
00:07:28Too bad to make you work on Sunday
00:07:29But since you're doing it for me
00:07:31And you've already said you're praying
00:07:33Maybe you'll be forgiven
00:07:34The Lord is very understanding
00:07:39Carry their church with them, don't they?
00:07:40Carry their church with them, don't they?
00:07:45Looking for you, Boulder
00:07:46Hello, Mr. Raggo
00:07:47Welcome back to Abilene
00:07:48Nice trip north?
00:07:49Not bad
00:07:50Here's a list of the stuff we'll need in the morning
00:07:53Too bad to make you work on Sunday
00:07:55But since you're doing it for me
00:07:57And you've already said your prayers
00:07:58Maybe you'll be forgiven
00:07:59The Lord is very understanding
00:08:03My boys are in for a fling at the honeypot
00:08:06It may be a little rough
00:08:07But it's all in fun
00:08:09Town's open, Captain
00:08:11Marshal's got nothing to do
00:08:12Maybe he'll give you a hand with my stuff
00:08:15See ya
00:08:21You homesteaders got no place in town here
00:08:24And stay off that trail
00:08:25A long way off of it
00:08:27This is cattle country
00:08:28And it's gonna stay cattle country
00:08:29That's great
00:08:32Come on, Sherry
00:08:33Need some help on this
00:08:34It's all right, Father
00:08:38Go after it, Jim
00:08:52This is one of my men
00:08:53He went for his gun first
00:08:54Then the deal was crooked
00:08:56I won't wrestle with these dogs
00:08:57I got one more bullet left
00:08:59We'll take care of you right now
00:09:01Boys, we'll break up
00:09:03You wouldn't be happy
00:09:04If I heard a thousand miles from home
00:09:07Walk out ahead of me
00:09:08That man's a murderer
00:09:09What's your boy doing with a gun in his hand?
00:09:10Get going, George
00:09:22Where's the music?
00:09:24Hit the bar, boys
00:09:25Everything's on the house
00:09:32You bought chips, Marshal
00:09:34Couple of weeks, we'll be back
00:09:35You'll be here
00:09:36You'll be here
00:09:37Because there'll be no guns checked
00:09:39And we'll tear this crooked, cheating town apart
00:09:41And spread the pieces from here to the Texas border
00:09:45I'll be here, Ryker
00:09:48Bring it up, boys
00:09:49Show's over
00:09:56Go on over to jail and lock yourself up
00:09:58I'll be over and let you out when Ryker leaves town
00:10:03What are you after, Dan?
00:10:04Why don't you let this town shoot it out and die?
00:10:08There are people in it
00:10:10What kind?
00:10:11You think anybody in this town has any solution for it?
00:10:14Maybe not
00:10:16That's a weakness of an honest marshal
00:10:18Got too doggone much pride
00:10:21Maybe
00:10:23Odds are wrong, Dan
00:10:25Unless you got a whole card up your sleeve
00:10:27Yeah
00:10:29Only friends you got are on the wrong side of the street
00:10:34Slim
00:10:35You stay here in town
00:10:38Slim
00:10:40You stay here in town
00:10:44You stay here in town
00:10:45We'll tear this town apart, he says
00:10:46Only chance we got is to keep Ryker satisfied
00:10:47Ryker's no cow hand to be slugged with a gun
00:10:48We want a marshal to keep us in good with Ryker, not a killer
00:10:49Mitchell's got to get off his high horse
00:10:52Need any help, Ed?
00:10:53Remember Ryker suggested I give you a hand
00:10:55Well, guess I'd better be getting along
00:10:56Me too
00:10:57I'd better be getting along
00:10:58Me too
00:10:59I'd better be getting along
00:11:00Of all the people in that saloon, you had to knock out the brain
00:11:03We'll tear this town apart, he says
00:11:05Only chance we got is to keep Ryker satisfied
00:11:08Ryker's no cow hand to be slugged with a gun
00:11:10We want a marshal to keep us in good with Ryker, not a killer
00:11:13Mitchell's got to get off his high horse
00:11:17Need any help, Ed?
00:11:18Remember Ryker suggested I give you a hand
00:11:20Well, guess I'd better be getting along
00:11:24Me too
00:11:27Of all the people in that saloon, you had to knock out the brains of the most influential cattlemen on the trail
00:11:32He's the only one bothered
00:11:34What else could Dan have done? Let him kill a man in cold blood?
00:11:37Likely, Cap Ryker was just shooting off his mouth
00:11:39Father, there's something you've overlooked
00:11:41See that pretty little star?
00:11:42And who put it there?
00:11:43You did, with instructions to keep this town peaceful
00:11:46And not let trail hands and saloon keepers get out of hand
00:11:48But I didn't tell him to drive business away
00:11:51What chance did we have if Fair and Ryker decided to get along without any merchants here?
00:11:55All this trouble over one no-count gambler
00:11:57I see, if there's any killing to be done, Dan just sees to it, it's done pleasantly
00:12:01Is that it?
00:12:02Now, Sherry, let's go back
00:12:04Four months ago, he didn't have a dime
00:12:06The guard had killed off half his cattle and he needed a job, is that right?
00:12:09Right
00:12:10And as town supervisor, I appointed him marshal
00:12:12Still right
00:12:13Well, does that give me the right to ask him to watch his step or not?
00:12:16Father, what do you want Dan to do?
00:12:17Well, I thought maybe if he went to Cap Ryker and explained it was all a mistake
00:12:21Maybe apologize
00:12:22Apologize to Ryker
00:12:24In 24 hours, trail hands and sweep across Texas street and shoot into your parlor windows just to hear the women scream
00:12:30Are you trying to frighten me?
00:12:32Trying to remind you why you got a marshal, Ed
00:12:34You're nothing but a wood tick hanging on to a trail town, you're a lost cause
00:12:38I suppose you'd like to see me close up
00:12:40No, I'd like to see you buck up, Ed, and not let them know how weak you feel
00:12:43There may be another kind of business here for you soon
00:12:46You starting on homesteaders again?
00:12:49They haven't a chance of surviving
00:12:51Maybe I'd rather do business with homesteaders than with cattlemen
00:12:55But I'm not going to be wiped out for my likes and dislikes
00:12:58I'm not proud, I've got to compromise
00:13:01And what I've got to do, you've got to do too
00:13:04Then you'd better get yourself another marshal, Ed
00:13:07Nothing makes me feel cheap when wearing a star don't mean anything
00:13:10Now wait a minute, Dan, now you're getting mad
00:13:12You're marshal
00:13:15I'm marshal
00:13:33Not even an hour late today
00:13:39Dan, I think you're right, you should resign
00:13:45How'd you know I was here?
00:13:47I always know where you are
00:13:50No, I'm not resigning, I was only trying to put some steel in it
00:13:53You didn't succeed, you never will
00:13:57Never's a long time
00:13:59Howdy, folks
00:14:00You had a little trouble down at the fryer today, Dan
00:14:03Oh, nothing important
00:14:04I understand you filed for re-election next fall, Bravo
00:14:06Eh, talk me into it
00:14:08Figured on opening up a saloon
00:14:09Or maybe going back to practice in dentistry
00:14:12But somebody's got to keep law and order in the county
00:14:15Law and order?
00:14:16Why don't you try helping Dan around here?
00:14:18That wouldn't be fair, ma'am
00:14:20I run the county, Dan runs the town
00:14:22Besides me and Dan don't always see eye to eye
00:14:25Now, Bravo, I thought we were all friends
00:14:27We are, Dan, we are
00:14:28But you got the idea you ought to kick up a cuss about things that are bound to happen anyway
00:14:33I don't figure that way
00:14:35A man's got to live
00:14:37Cows get lost
00:14:39Sometimes accidents happen and fellers get killed
00:14:43Why get hot under the collar about it?
00:14:46And why go hunting for fellers that don't want to be found?
00:14:51Well, here she comes
00:14:52Soon
00:14:57Where's the sheriff?
00:14:59Where's the sheriff?
00:15:01Don't that train make enough noise?
00:15:02Let you in do it
00:15:04Sheriff?
00:15:05The train was held up
00:15:07Train held up?
00:15:08You sure?
00:15:09Of course I am sure
00:15:10I was on it
00:15:11Just three miles out of town
00:15:12What town?
00:15:13Why, this one
00:15:14He was traveling as a passenger
00:15:16Suddenly he pulled a gun and held up the coach
00:15:18Get much?
00:15:19I don't know
00:15:20He fired a shot over my head
00:15:21Then he jumped off around the turn
00:15:23That's a dangerous thing to do
00:15:24That reminds me one time I was
00:15:25He got fifty dollars from me
00:15:27That's a lot of money to be traveling with, stranger
00:15:29I was saying I was
00:15:30Now, if you get a posse started right away
00:15:31You might catch him
00:15:32You might catch the wrong man too
00:15:33And get the county sued
00:15:34What'd he look like?
00:15:35He was tall, had little brown eyes and a black beard
00:15:37Had a little brown beard
00:15:39I see, no identification
00:15:40Poor old Bravo
00:15:42I wonder how he'll get out of this one
00:15:46You'll probably help him
00:15:48Not me, county matter
00:15:50Probably make him late for our game of Fantan at Big Annie's
00:15:54Why do you go there, Dan?
00:15:57Annie makes good drinks
00:15:59And playing Fantan with Bravo in a boarding house full of girls is quite interesting
00:16:04Well
00:16:06Now when the gossips ask you why you go there, I can tell them
00:16:08What's that?
00:16:10Bet you haven't made up your mind which side of Texas Street has the most interesting women
00:16:14Mister
00:16:16Can you tell me where the homesteaders' camp is?
00:16:19Looking for a man named Hanaberry
00:16:21Two blocks down the street, turn to your left and keep walking
00:16:24Thank you, mister
00:16:27Oh, just a minute
00:16:29You folks are coming in pretty fast
00:16:31Think I'll have a look at that camp myself
00:16:34Want a ride, son?
00:16:35Yes, mister
00:16:36Follow me, I'll show you the way
00:16:37Follow me, I'll show you the way
00:16:53Hello Rita
00:16:55You ought to grow a beard, too
00:16:56When you wear a sunbonnet and an apron, I'll grow a beard
00:17:00When I wear a sunbonnet and an apron, I'll grow a beard
00:17:05You like her, mister?
00:17:10When I find out, I'll let you know
00:17:12You know, you look pretty fresh
00:17:15You know, you look pretty fresh
00:17:31Hello, Bill
00:17:32Nice to meet you
00:17:33Thank you, mister
00:17:35All right, sonny
00:17:37Name's Hanaberry
00:17:38Where you all from, Mr. Hanaberry?
00:17:39Ohio, mostly
00:17:40Sit down, Sheriff
00:17:41Here
00:17:51Here you are
00:17:53Thanks
00:17:55My name's Henry
00:17:56Henry Dreiser
00:17:58First off, I'm not the sheriff
00:18:00I'm just town marshal of Abilene
00:18:02I'd have guessed you was closer to the land
00:18:04Cattle, maybe
00:18:06There's friendlier land than this around here
00:18:09The government man told us we could raise 20 bushels of wheat to the acre
00:18:12Didn't tell you this was cattle country, though, did he?
00:18:14It's government land
00:18:16Much ours as anybody's
00:18:18Opinion in town is you won't last long
00:18:21Opinion here is we will
00:18:23We've brought our families and we're going to make this a fit country for them
00:18:27We're not asking anything of anybody
00:18:30There's land here to work and
00:18:32We're going to put more in than we take out
00:18:34That's fair enough
00:18:35Don't you like to be friends with folks in your town?
00:18:38But if they don't want it that way
00:18:40It won't make much difference in the long run
00:18:54I like that song you folks sing
00:18:57My father died in the war
00:19:00So did my son
00:19:01Those are his children who are looking your horse over
00:19:06Thanks, you bet
00:19:11Oh, I don't believe you, I don't think he did at all
00:19:15I did so, Roddy, didn't I miss him?
00:19:16Sure did
00:19:18I can drive a horse behind a plow
00:19:20Doing what?
00:19:21Putting in wheat
00:19:22I did so, Roddy
00:19:23I did so, Roddy
00:19:24Didn't I miss him?
00:19:26Sure did
00:19:27I can drive a horse behind a plow
00:19:29Doing what?
00:19:30Putting in wheat
00:19:31He was born
00:19:32He was born
00:19:36He was born
00:19:38With our glory
00:19:39In his golden last
00:19:42And Savior
00:19:44to me
00:19:48As he died
00:19:50To make men holy
00:19:53Let us die
00:19:56To make men free
00:19:59His day is marching high.
00:20:25Why not hold up on us, Sheriff?
00:20:27Oh, I figure he's in the next county by now.
00:20:29Two dust cutters, two whiskey chasers.
00:20:39You've been out looking for the man stuck up the train.
00:20:43I figure I got more trail there than he did dollars.
00:20:49Any description?
00:20:51Six foot two, little brown eye, little brown beard.
00:20:54Nobody ever saw.
00:21:00Your name Chet Younger?
00:21:01That's right.
00:21:02The boss wants to see you in his office.
00:21:04Six foot two, little brown eyes, little brown beard.
00:21:10Nobody I ever saw before either.
00:21:13Two more dust cutters, elbow whiskey chasers.
00:21:25Something on your mind, Charlie?
00:21:27Yeah.
00:21:28I think I've been making a mistake.
00:21:29Maybe these wheat growers aren't as big a joke as I thought they were.
00:21:33Pouring over the trail on three sides like a flood.
00:21:37Maybe the merchants aren't the only ones to keep scared.
00:21:40They got a sharp nose for a dollar, these merchandise peddlers.
00:21:43And if they ever decide they can make more money off homesteaders than they can off cattle,
00:21:45they'll join up with the farmers.
00:21:46And drive this side of the street out of here.
00:21:47And out of every town within a thousand miles.
00:21:48It's loyalty for you.
00:21:49Loyalty?
00:21:50What's that?
00:21:51Loyalty is...
00:21:53Go on upstairs, Jet.
00:21:55See you later.
00:21:56Sure, yes, let's see it.
00:21:58Say, please.
00:21:59You should.
00:22:00You should.
00:22:01You should.
00:22:02You should.
00:22:03I'm sure.
00:22:04You should.
00:22:05Go.
00:22:06Come.
00:22:07I'm sure you should.
00:22:08You're here.
00:22:09You're here.
00:22:10You're good.
00:22:11You're all here.
00:22:12So let's see it.
00:22:13You're here.
00:22:14You're here.
00:22:15Go.
00:22:16You're here.
00:22:17I should, Charlie.
00:22:47Go after it, Jip.
00:23:17People seem to think I'm playing hard to get.
00:23:23I must confess that what they say is true.
00:23:28And I'm going to keep on playing hard to get
00:23:33with everyone that is except with you.
00:23:42All you've got to do is snap your fingers.
00:23:48And I'll be there.
00:23:51All you've got to do is clap your hands.
00:23:55And I'll come running anywhere.
00:24:00All you've got to do is give a whistle.
00:24:05I'll be at your feet.
00:24:08And if you should wonder, do I love you?
00:24:13There's a very simple little tale.
00:24:17All you've got to do is snap your fingers.
00:24:22And I'll do the rest.
00:24:24You've got to be at your feet.
00:24:29I'll do the rest.
00:24:30I'll do the rest.
00:26:04I told Charlie there were rats in the basement.
00:26:23Well, who's breaking up my act this time?
00:26:30I don't know.
00:26:31Watch it, boys.
00:26:31You again.
00:26:43What happened?
00:26:44Took a pot shot at me in the alley.
00:26:46Ever see him before, Charlie?
00:26:48One of Riker's men.
00:26:50Oh.
00:26:50Maybe someday I can finish a song without you breaking it up.
00:26:54Sounded awfully good down there.
00:26:55Maybe because I couldn't hear the words.
00:26:58Oh!
00:27:01What's that for?
00:27:02For playing Target for $4 a day.
00:27:04Sure been wrong until the evening, ain't it?
00:27:17I love it out here in the West, because the West is best for lovin'.
00:27:32Seven of clubs.
00:27:33Play.
00:27:34Eight of clubs.
00:27:35Nine of clubs.
00:27:36Ten of clubs.
00:27:37Managed your petticoat, Rita.
00:27:39Thanks.
00:27:40What are you all dressed up for?
00:27:41Oh, I didn't feel like changing.
00:27:45Good evening, Dad.
00:27:46Sit down.
00:27:47We'll all play as soon as I've beaten this expert.
00:27:50Less talk and more play.
00:27:52Jack at clubs.
00:27:53Queen at clubs.
00:27:54King at clubs.
00:27:54Makes $4.40, you owe me.
00:28:01What chance have you got against a woman like that?
00:28:03What chance have you got against any woman?
00:28:05Sometimes, Bravo.
00:28:06I just marvel at your intelligence.
00:28:08Yeah, me too.
00:28:09Sit in a couple hands, Rita?
00:28:10No, thanks.
00:28:11I sat in on a shooting tonight, and it tires me out.
00:28:14Anybody get hurt?
00:28:15I understand the marshal's got a sore neck.
00:28:18Sticking it out again.
00:28:19So are shins, but I'm not sure from what.
00:28:21I kicked you.
00:28:23Again.
00:28:23I thought we were going to play Fantan.
00:28:25Why?
00:28:26Because you're getting loco for mixing in everybody's business.
00:28:28The trailhands pay for their drinks on one side of the street.
00:28:30Their canned goods on the other.
00:28:31Why don't you let them alone?
00:28:33You got any idea what this town would be like if the trailhands weren't kept in line?
00:28:36We play in Fantan or hold in a town meeting.
00:28:38And so he's going to teach them to be polite and say thank you and get shot because that's his job?
00:28:43Why doesn't he go to work for Charlie Fair where there's a future?
00:28:46At least he'll still be here after we've had four new marshals.
00:28:49You know, that's an interesting point.
00:28:50Will he?
00:28:51What's interesting about it?
00:28:52This is not a one-day fight.
00:28:55It's the rider against the settler.
00:28:58The quick drunk against the family.
00:29:01Abilene may close out the cattle when the country is settled up.
00:29:03What'll you do then, Rita?
00:29:05This town is never going to close.
00:29:07And I'm never going to move.
00:29:08This is my kind of life.
00:29:09Why?
00:29:10Because I like it.
00:29:12And it likes me.
00:29:13And I don't look well in an apron.
00:29:14And don't ask so many questions.
00:29:17Would anybody be interested in playing a little Fantan?
00:29:24Come to think of it, I would.
00:29:26Seven of spades.
00:29:35Eight of spades.
00:29:37I pass.
00:29:38Nine of spades.
00:29:39Ten of spades.
00:29:40Jack.
00:29:40Queen.
00:29:41King of spades.
00:29:42Play.
00:29:42Play.
00:29:42Play.
00:29:42Play.
00:29:42The barn first.
00:29:59Then the house.
00:30:01Light up a couple of them torches.
00:30:06Come on.
00:30:06Come on.
00:30:36Come on.
00:30:50Come on.
00:31:02Come on.
00:31:05Oh, my God.
00:31:35Come on, Mom. Get out. Quick.
00:31:48Dad, come on.
00:32:05It's mighty hard luck, Mrs. Canby. You sure got all our sympathy.
00:32:22But why should anybody want to harm us? We are unfaithable people.
00:32:26I'll tell you why. Because cattlemen hate farmers.
00:32:30They hate us because we make 40 acres support a dozen people instead of one cow.
00:32:35There's only one thing left for us to do if we want to stay here, and that's the fight.
00:32:39Easy, son.
00:32:41We've got as much right here as anybody.
00:32:43It's government land. The cattlemen don't own it.
00:32:45What makes you so sure the cattlemen had anything to do with this, son?
00:32:48Who else would want to drive us out?
00:32:50Yes, who wants to drive us out?
00:32:51Quiet, quiet.
00:32:51Well, this year's investigation is getting out of control.
00:32:55I want you all to be quiet until I finish asking questions of the witnesses.
00:33:00Now, is there anybody here who recognized the perpetrators of this dastardly deed?
00:33:04I recognize one of them.
00:33:07How could you recognize him in the dark?
00:33:09It was dark when it happened, wasn't it?
00:33:11Farmers can see better in the dark than most folks.
00:33:14I know a farmer can't see his hand before his eyes.
00:33:16A fellow by the name of Donaldson right up here.
00:33:17What's his name, Frank?
00:33:19Go ahead, tell him his name like you told me.
00:33:24Jet Younger.
00:33:28We want to swear on a warrant for the arrest of Jet Younger.
00:33:34Thank you, Emily.
00:33:35Come again.
00:33:42Two boxes of 45, Sherry.
00:33:44They found out who it was.
00:33:46Jet Younger.
00:33:54But it didn't happen in town.
00:33:56It's a county matter.
00:33:57Why do you have to get mixed up in it, Dan?
00:33:59Somebody in town sent Jet Younger to burn out those homesteaders.
00:34:03Somebody in town ought to do something about it.
00:34:05I don't suppose it would make any difference if I asked you not to go.
00:34:12No.
00:34:13I thought you'd be in.
00:34:25How'd you figure that one?
00:34:28Younger and fair add up.
00:34:29What?
00:34:30Two to one against you.
00:34:32Oh, sit down.
00:34:47Sit down.
00:34:47I sent word to Bravo that as far as I'm concerned, I want Jet Younger brought in.
00:35:00Sent for you, Dan, because I heard you might give up marshalling.
00:35:04Did say something about it.
00:35:05I could use a man.
00:35:08I always figured I could land a job with you, Charlie.
00:35:11How soon do you plan to quit?
00:35:12Well, now, that depends.
00:35:19Have you got the final figures yet, Charlie?
00:35:21Just about.
00:35:21Oh, uh, meet my new partner, Dan.
00:35:27I told you I was going to take root here.
00:35:30From now on, I own the show in the pride.
00:35:32But, uh, you'd be working for me, Dan.
00:35:37Now, remember.
00:35:38Oh, uh, good luck.
00:35:49Anything wrong?
00:35:51I'm not sure.
00:35:57Hello, Dan.
00:35:58Don't tell me you want an afternoon game.
00:36:00Yeah, I was just looking for Bravo.
00:36:02Hearing over?
00:36:03Oh, hearing.
00:36:05Oh, that, uh, yeah, that's all over.
00:36:07I got a warrant for Jet right there in my coot pocket.
00:36:11Leaving soon?
00:36:12Soon to get 440 back.
00:36:15Why?
00:36:16Well, you might need a little help.
00:36:17Well, how do you like that?
00:36:19See, I'll have him back here in jail before he knows what time it is.
00:36:22Play, Annie, you're holding up justice.
00:36:24Seven to diamonds.
00:36:25Something right funny about this.
00:36:26What's funny?
00:36:27Your enthusiasm.
00:36:28Jet's a killer.
00:36:29Well, what do you think I am, a bumblebee?
00:36:30You've got everything but the sting.
00:36:33Anyway, you won't mind my going along with you, Bravo.
00:36:35I certainly wouldn't mind.
00:36:36What, do you want to meddle into something?
00:36:37I don't concern you for.
00:36:38That's what I want to know.
00:36:44Did Charlie send you to ask me that, or are you interested in my well-being?
00:36:47I'm interested in my business.
00:36:49And I'm interested in getting this game finished so I can get started playing.
00:36:53Eight of diamonds.
00:36:53Why are you going on this manhunt with Bravo?
00:36:57Always help a fellow officer of the law.
00:36:59That's not your reason.
00:37:02Maybe I'd just like to ride up in the hills, away from people.
00:37:06I'll be waiting at your office, Bravo.
00:37:09Eight of spades.
00:37:11Nine of spades.
00:37:12Ten of spades.
00:37:14Jack of spades.
00:37:15Queen of spades.
00:37:16King of spades.
00:37:17Oh, shucks.
00:37:20Where are you going, Rita?
00:37:22If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.
00:37:29To preserve law and order to the best of your ability, it's happy to share it.
00:37:34Dan.
00:37:36You want it inside.
00:37:38Me?
00:37:38Mm-hmm.
00:37:49Rita.
00:37:50Dan.
00:37:53I want to say goodbye.
00:37:56Well.
00:37:56Don't say anything.
00:37:57Just put your arms around me and hold me.
00:38:01Sure.
00:38:02You big idiot!
00:38:03Oh!
00:38:06Oh!
00:38:09Open this door!
00:38:10Take care of yourself, Rita.
00:38:12I'll take up that holding business when I get back.
00:38:14Dan, you'll let me out of here!
00:38:18Oh!
00:38:20Ouch!
00:38:24Good idea, George, but it didn't work.
00:38:26Let her out in ten minutes.
00:38:27You ready, Dan?
00:38:28Coming, Bravo.
00:38:29Bravo.
00:38:38Damn!
00:38:48I don't know!
00:39:00Go to sea.
00:39:01Sun's up.
00:39:20Mm-hmm.
00:39:26Use a little help around here.
00:39:29You got three deputies.
00:39:30What more do you want?
00:39:31Had three deputies.
00:39:32Pulled out on us last night.
00:39:35You mean them polecats hightailed it?
00:39:37About 3 a.m.
00:39:39They didn't make too much noise.
00:39:40I went right back to sleep.
00:39:42If you've seen them go, why didn't you stop them?
00:39:44Couldn't have been much use to us.
00:39:46Hearts weren't in it.
00:39:50Maybe you and me better get out of here, too.
00:39:52Ain't much two of us can do.
00:39:54Only takes one man to catch Jet.
00:39:56Last night before I went to sleep, I did a lot of thinking.
00:40:12About what?
00:40:14Oh, Jet Younger.
00:40:16This fire?
00:40:17How far it could be seen from up in the hills?
00:40:20What are you trying to say, Dan?
00:40:22And if the idea of this expedition was to warn Jet we were coming so he could hold up and
00:40:27stay out of our way, this is the proper place to build a fire.
00:40:30Shucks.
00:40:30You're just jumping to conclusions.
00:40:32Maybe so.
00:40:34And the first one is, Jet is probably where I can see this fire.
00:40:37Makes me remember there's an old line shack up there.
00:40:40Be a comfortable hideout.
00:40:41I'll look here, Dan.
00:40:43Better mix up some biscuits, Bravo.
00:40:44But you...
00:41:00Well, I figure we'd better be on our way.
00:41:02Which way?
00:41:03I think we'll turn back towards town and look up them deputies first thing.
00:41:08What about the line shack?
00:41:10Now, Dan, I'm in charge of this party and I say we go the other way.
00:41:15I think I'll take a ride toward the line shack.
00:41:16You sure are a stubborn critter.
00:41:37I didn't hurt you, did it, Dan?
00:41:38Well, I did it for your own good, son.
00:41:43I couldn't stand to see you get yourself shot up.
00:41:47Well, what do we care about them homesteaders or Jet Younger or anybody?
00:41:52You all right, Dan?
00:42:07I'd rather take in the conk on my own head, son.
00:42:09There's no sense in a man being so stubborn.
00:42:22I'll be back tonight and let you loose.
00:42:24The rest will do you good.
00:42:26Now, don't you go and make me look for you.
00:42:30You stay right here.
00:42:31I'll be back tonight and let you go.
00:43:01Bravo!
00:43:18Poor Miller.
00:43:20Hope the ants don't crawl all over him.
00:43:31Why, that sneaking no good.
00:43:38I'd better get out of here.
00:43:39Come on.
00:43:40Come on.
00:44:25Catched him, didn't you?
00:44:33Hot today, ain't it?
00:44:36Might rain before the end of the week, though.
00:44:39Go away.
00:44:40Got any drinking water?
00:44:42Yeah, plenty of it in the well.
00:44:43You and your friend come on up the house.
00:44:45He ain't no friend of mine.
00:44:47He ain't.
00:44:47Show your friends.
00:44:48Do this every day for the exercise.
00:44:50Come on, friend.
00:44:50Now, supposing I play a jack, what happens?
00:45:01It all depends.
00:45:03Now, one of the first rules of the game is to take...
00:45:06Might be more profitable for you to wait for me here, Bravo.
00:45:08Oh, I'll just play a little bit.
00:45:12Maybe I can show him something about the game before you get back.
00:45:15Give me your wide, you'll stay here.
00:45:17Ever hear of a horse running away from oats?
00:45:18Now, what did you say was worth the most, the king or the queen?
00:45:27Well, let's see.
00:45:29Let's deal again.
00:45:37I'll...
00:45:37That's you, Bob?
00:46:06Better give me a hand here.
00:46:08I ain't much at cooking.
00:46:11Need a little grease in that skillet.
00:46:16Couldn't do that, Jet.
00:46:19What do you want?
00:46:21Just a little of your time, about 20 years.
00:46:24Charlie Fast said that Bravo would camp where you could see as far
00:46:27and then go in the opposite direction.
00:46:30Is that right?
00:46:33I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46:34Where is Bravo?
00:46:37Busy.
00:46:38Come on, Jet.
00:46:38Let's start for town.
00:46:41I don't get this.
00:46:43You're not sheriff.
00:46:44You're town marshal.
00:46:45What do you want out of this deal?
00:46:47A little security for my children.
00:46:49You ain't got any children.
00:46:51Someday I might.
00:46:53Ready, Jet?
00:46:54Better take my coat.

00:50:24Get me inside, you big four-flusher.
00:50:26You put up quite a fight, you did.
00:50:29Well, Dan, I'm so terribly glad you're back.
00:50:32So am I.
00:50:41When I was a child, I burned my finger.
00:50:47And it taught me not to play with fire.
00:50:52Don't know why this lesson didn't linger.
00:50:55Here, this foolish heart of mine has burned its finger many times.
00:51:05But still, it doesn't lessen my desire.
00:51:15Every time I give my heart, I know that it's the last.
00:51:23But when that love has passed, I sigh, well, maybe next time.
00:51:36Every time I give my heart, I'm back where I began.
00:51:44Just another also ran.
00:51:46Just another also ran.
00:51:50But maybe next time, next time.
00:51:55I've waited long for this romance, and when we met, my heart was lost.
00:52:06With you, I think I stand a chance.
00:52:08With you, I think I stand a chance.
00:52:11But just the same, I've got my fingers crossed.
00:52:20Every time I give my heart, for instance, like with you.
00:52:29I swear that for me too, there'll be no next time.
00:52:42Other than anybody now?
00:52:54No change.
00:53:25I promise to pick up where we left off.
00:53:29You know, I think what I like least about you is that you're so sure of this.
00:53:34When a man rides down the middle of Texas Street, confidence is all he's got.
00:53:38Confidence?
00:53:39You're an easy target for any drunk who wants to take a pot shot at you.
00:53:42All that'll change.
00:53:47Rita, I think you've made a bad investment.
00:53:50Let's wait and see.
00:53:51And now if you've found out everything you want to know, will you get out while I change?
00:53:56I haven't found out anything.
00:53:59You've got a screen change.
00:54:00I feel like talking.
00:54:01Come to think of it, it's a screen around you I don't like.
00:54:18Hand me the dress on that chair.
00:54:20And the porcupine quills you shoot out to keep people away from you.
00:54:28Why, no man who's walked or ridden into this town has ever gotten near you.
00:54:32What you need is a ride in the hills.
00:54:43I don't mix my drinks.
00:54:48You are scared.
00:54:50Get out.
00:54:51Get out.
00:54:54Trying to be tough because you're scared and scared because you're warm and soft.
00:54:59I'll lock my door after this.
00:55:10Better use up some of that before it's spoiled.
00:55:15I knew you'd do that.
00:55:17I let you stay to find out if you were like every other man who ever tried to get in here.
00:55:21Then you found out something, too.
00:55:22People seem to think I'm playing hard to get.
00:55:38I must confess that what they say is true.
00:55:42And I'm going to keep on playing hard to get with everyone that is except with you.
00:55:54All you've got to do is clap your fingers and I'll be there.
00:56:06All you've got to do is clap your hands and I'll come running anywhere.
00:56:13All you've got to do is give a whistle, I'll be at your feet.
00:56:23And if you should wonder do I love you, there's a very simple little tale.
00:56:32All you've got to do is clap your fingers and I'll do the rest.
00:56:39As president of the ladies' aid, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our guest of honor, Sheriff Bravo Tremble.
00:56:49When I accepted this invitation to speak, it wasn't with no idea of politics or nothing.
00:57:03I just wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk about what might happen if we didn't have the proper administration of law and order in this here county.
00:57:12Tell us how you captured Jeff Younger.
00:57:15Oh, there weren't much to capture in Jeff.
00:57:17You stick a gun in the fellow's ribs and he knows you're the kind of a sheriff who don't stand for no fooling.
00:57:23He just naturally comes along.
00:57:25You mustn't be so modest, Sheriff Tremble.
00:57:27Tell us how you really tracked him down.
00:57:29Did Dan Mitchell help?
00:57:31Well, some.
00:57:33Did you get hurt in the fight?
00:57:35No, can't say that I did.
00:57:38Oh, skin place here, too.
00:57:40Nothing compared to the way Jed got worked over.
00:57:42It'll be a long time before he does any more outlawed.
00:57:47Figure he'll stay there for weeks in jail licking his wounds.
00:57:51Sheriff Tremble!
00:57:52Sheriff Tremble!
00:57:54Jed Younger's escaped!
00:57:56Did you say Jed escaped?
00:57:57Somebody smuggled him a gun and he shot his way off.
00:57:59Killed two men.
00:58:01Took to the hills again, has he?
00:58:02No, he's still in town.
00:58:04Has anyone notified Dan Mitchell?
00:58:06Dan Mitchell?
00:58:07You're the county sheriff.
00:58:09That's just it.
00:58:10Tell him my jurisdiction.
00:58:11He was headed for the stables when Dan cut them off.
00:58:14Gotta get off the street, folks.
00:58:15Hurry.
00:58:15Come on, hurry.
00:58:16Hurry.

01:11:34What I want to know is
01:11:35Who sold them that wire
01:11:36Not me, I turned them down
01:11:37Where do you wire shed them?
01:11:38What's that?
01:11:40I sold that wire
01:11:42Henry Drivers said he wanted it to prevent any trouble
01:11:45Didn't you know better than to trust a homesteader?
01:11:48And why shouldn't I trust a homesteader?
01:11:51They're people like us
01:11:53Better
01:11:54Did they come here with guns bristling all over them?
01:11:57They're the only ones who can make life here worth living
01:12:00They didn't know crazy trailhands with stampede cattle.
01:12:03Well, they got what is coming to them.
01:12:05But what about us?
01:12:06Riker knows that wire was sold right here in town.
01:12:09And he'll be here tonight.
01:12:10He'll burn us out, drive us out of town.
01:12:13Why do those homesteaders have to move in here?
01:12:15Mind if I say something?
01:12:19Boys, I'd think it over carefully.
01:12:20Whatever happens here will spread.
01:12:23This is a fight for the state of Kansas.
01:12:25Which way the country's going.
01:12:27Better be sure you pick your friends.
01:12:29What's a few homesteaders worth in a fight?
01:12:31Not very much, but a thousand of them are worth a lot.
01:12:33Well, if it's not that man in the county.
01:12:35Henry Dreiser has a hundred men.
01:12:37And there's Farmers Protective Association.
01:12:39And he's only 25% organized.
01:12:41How many people is that, Ed?
01:12:42Figuring three to a family.
01:12:44It's over a thousand.
01:12:47But suppose Riker drives these homesteaders away.
01:12:50I think you can discount that rumor.
01:12:52Well, you're not planning on tangling with them again, are you?
01:12:55There were people killed this afternoon.
01:12:57It makes my position pretty clear, doesn't it?
01:13:03Dan.
01:13:05When I sold Henry that wire, I didn't realize it would all come tumbling down on you.
01:13:10Funny.
01:13:11You never know who's going to fire the first shot until the fight begins.
01:13:14Four hundred families.
01:13:16If each family spent, say, five hundred dollars a year here in town, how much business would that come to?
01:13:21Almost.
01:13:22Almost a quarter million dollars.
01:13:23How much do the trail hands spend?
01:13:25Now, if four hundred only spend three hundred dollars a year.
01:13:31If, if, if.
01:13:32I know what I'm going to do.
01:13:33I'm going straight to Charlie and get word to Riker that Dan don't represent me.
01:13:36I am neutral.
01:13:38I don't want any part of this fight.
01:13:39Quiet.
01:13:40Suppose in a year from now, there are eight hundred families here.
01:13:46That's half a million dollars.
01:13:48Half a million dollars.
01:13:50And no shooting.
01:13:51But suppose the homesteaders are wiped out.
01:13:54I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I don't want any part of this fight, I
01:14:24Turn out the lights, Ned.
01:14:32Street's closed.
01:14:54Will you turn them out, Pete, or you want me to?
01:15:24Dan, and where do the men?
01:15:26When will they be here?
01:15:28Perhaps they can get together.
01:15:30Wait here.
01:15:48Stay here, Jim.
01:15:52My people are mad, Dan.
01:15:54Everybody loved old man Hannaberry.
01:15:58Evening, Marshal.
01:15:59Evening, Jake.
01:16:06They want to settle this once and for all.
01:16:08Make this the last fight.
01:16:10I think it will be, Henry.
01:16:15I'm just brimming over with that
01:16:17Because I love it out in the West
01:16:21I love it out here in the West
01:16:24Because the West is meant for loving
01:16:27When the stars are shining and the moon is low
01:16:30You'll find me out with my lovely nose
01:16:33That's why I love it.
01:16:37Howling!
01:16:37You sure would have looked nice in a kitchen apron
01:16:42What do you mean, stop in the show?
01:16:45I still own this place and I'll give the orders
01:16:47That's fair enough.
01:16:48Tell them to turn out the lights
01:16:49Grab it, boys
01:16:52Look out, Ned!
01:16:52Light's out, Charlie
01:16:58You want me to do it for you?
01:17:12You'll set the police on fire
01:17:13I wouldn't want to do that
01:17:14Wait
01:17:17Lights out
01:17:22I came to tell you to pack up
01:17:49Maybe breaking it up is a better idea
01:17:52I'm breaking nothing
01:17:53You're not closing me up
01:17:54Listen, Rita
01:17:55It's going to be pretty rough here in no time
01:17:57Not safe
01:17:58Oh, don't you tell me what's safe
01:17:59You big blonde baboon
01:18:01Don't you warn me
01:18:02You wait till Riker gets here
01:18:03You warn me
01:18:04Seemed only friendly
01:18:05I'd do the same for you
01:18:06The jig's up
01:18:07It sure is
01:18:08But not for me
01:18:09Who's going to stand with you
01:18:10When the shooting starts?
01:18:12The merchants?
01:18:12The homesteaders?
01:18:14Why, you'll be so lonely on that street
01:18:15You'll look like a duck
01:18:16In a shooting gallery
01:18:17The tame always win, Rita
01:18:19This place will fall around your lovely ears
01:18:22Dollar by dollar
01:18:23Dime by dime
01:18:24Get out of here
01:18:26Before I kill you
01:18:27And I don't mean half kill you
01:18:29This is my property
01:18:30Paid for with my money
01:18:31And if you ever set foot
01:18:32Inside this room again
01:18:33I'll beat your brains out
01:18:34From brainless idiots
01:18:35Suppose a thousand families
01:18:43Only spend
01:18:43Three hundred dollars a year
01:18:45Heather, come
01:18:45Hey, Cap
01:19:02Look
01:19:03What's the idea
01:19:09The saloon's being closed
01:19:10New law
01:19:11Went into effect tonight
01:19:12Do you think
01:19:14You can stop us?
01:19:17You got a pretty strong outfit
01:19:18Boys
01:19:21Anybody want to get
01:19:23The trail dust
01:19:24Out of their throats?
01:19:25Won't take them long
01:19:43To get to lick it up
01:19:44And start on this side of the street
01:19:45Hey, Cap
01:19:47Cap Rackler
01:19:48Oh, I'm sure glad to see you
01:19:51Let him close you up, did you?
01:19:52Oh, now, Cap
01:19:53Look
01:19:54All right, boys
01:19:57Take it
01:19:58Let's go
01:19:58Sherry
01:20:13Are they coming?
01:20:15I hope so
01:20:16But if they don't get here soon
01:20:17They'll be too late
01:20:17I understand you told them
01:20:20About selling us the wire
01:20:21And that you believe
01:20:22In what we're trying to do
01:20:23I believe in you
01:20:25Let a cattleman show you how
01:20:31What do you mean?
01:20:32Oh
01:20:32Nice work
01:20:44I didn't mean to hit him so hard
01:20:47How do you feel?
01:20:50Fine
01:20:50Oh, Dan
01:20:53Sherry, I'm proud of you
01:20:55I'm proud of you, Dan
01:20:58And Henry
01:20:59And me, too
01:21:01It's getting pretty rough down there, Dan
01:21:03Can't you stop it?
01:21:04She's a wonderful girl, Henry
01:21:05And you'd better get her out of here
01:21:07Before I change my mind
01:21:08And take her away from you
01:21:09Take her away?
01:21:10You mean you...
01:21:11Exactly
01:21:11Come on, Henry
01:21:16I'll explain it to you
01:21:17What are you doing out there?
01:21:30Well, somebody's got to protect
01:21:31The sheriff's office
01:21:32Where are you fixing to go?
01:21:34Every fellow over at Causeville
01:21:35He'll be losing some sheep
01:21:36If you want me to come over to investigate
01:21:37It's the first chance I had
01:21:38Hmm
01:21:40Sheep
01:21:41Maybe we're making a mistake, Henry
01:21:55Why should we help a town
01:21:57That don't want any part of us?
01:21:58What's the matter?
01:21:59Afraid?
01:22:00No, ma'am
01:22:00We're not afraid
01:22:01We just don't quite know
01:22:03What this is all about
01:22:04Well, then I'll tell you
01:22:05It's about drunken trailhands
01:22:06That don't want you
01:22:07To settle the land that's yours
01:22:08It's about farms and homes
01:22:10And it's about a fool marshal
01:22:12Who's got himself in a corner
01:22:13Because he knows better times are coming
01:22:15If the people only have the nerve
01:22:16To do their part
01:22:17In this town?
01:22:18It's not this town you're fighting for
01:22:20It's the right to live
01:22:21What's going on here?
01:22:22You say this town wants no part of you
01:22:24Why, here's Sheriff Trimble
01:22:25Come to lead you
01:22:26What's that?
01:22:27Must be at least 300 boats
01:22:28In these homesteaders
01:22:29Oh, I got to see a man
01:22:30About a sheep
01:22:31You're the sheriff
01:22:32That captured just younger, aren't you?
01:22:35Yeah
01:22:35Well, I had a hand in it
01:22:37Well, we'll follow you, Sheriff
01:22:39Come on, boys
01:22:40Oh, my night has seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
01:22:59You know, Doug, the world's changing
01:23:06Yeah, I know
01:23:08Glory, glory, hallelujah
01:23:12Glad you're here, boys
01:23:28What do you want us to do, marshal?
01:23:30Fan out
01:23:31Take up positions around the stores and buildings
01:23:33On that side of the street
01:23:34Hear that, fellas?
01:23:34Spread out
01:23:35On that side
01:23:36Over there, boys
01:23:37On that side
01:23:38What's Rikers' men up to now?
01:23:40Having the time of their lives
01:23:42Wiping out the saloons and gambling houses
01:23:44And you ain't doing nothing about it?
01:23:46Not me
01:23:47They're doing too good a job
01:23:48It sure
01:23:52Sure is
01:23:53This is my place
01:24:12You don't want to pick up my place
01:24:14Oh, get off
01:24:16You, you, you're the marshal there
01:24:25Why don't you do something?
01:24:26Why don't you stop it?
01:24:27There's a $10,000 riot going on in there
01:24:30What are you for?
01:24:32You're the man that wanted an open town
01:24:34Well, here it is, Charlie
01:24:35Wide open
01:24:36Circle bar
01:24:37Johnny Jones
01:24:39Circle bar
01:24:40Come on
01:24:41Come on
01:24:42Come on
01:24:43Come on
01:24:44There we go
01:24:58There we go
01:25:00Had enough fun, Riker?
01:25:24When I have, I'll find more somewhere else.
01:25:27Tell your boys, if they try to cross the street,
01:25:29they'll find armed men waiting for them.
01:25:31I'll take my boys anywhere I want to go.
01:25:35You're not taking them anywhere, Riker.
01:25:36You're coming with me.
01:25:40I am?
01:25:42Yes.
01:25:43You're under arrest.
01:25:44The charge is murder.
01:26:00Oh, my brother.
01:26:12Leave her.
01:26:13Or you'll leave from now on a kitchen aid.
01:26:15Come on, men.
01:26:25Let's go into town.
01:26:27Get the merchant's store.
01:26:28What am I doing here?
01:26:36We've had enough trouble.
01:26:56It's over now.
01:26:58Where's Cap?
01:26:59Where's Riker?
01:27:00Riker's dead.
01:27:01And so is your part of Abilene.
01:27:03All that's left of it is the trail back.
01:27:06Boys, this is the way a tough street dies.
01:27:09Not with a roar, but with a whine.
01:27:13You don't want to die here with it.
01:27:16The tame are taking over Abilene.
01:27:18And they're tougher than you think.
01:27:20Better ride, boys.
01:27:22Now's our chance.
01:27:23Drive them out of town.
01:27:24Get them, boys.
01:27:24Get back.
01:27:25The fight's over.
01:27:26Let them ride out of town.
01:27:41I don't know whether you joined us or we joined you,
01:27:44but it's good to be together.
01:27:51Well, we sure done it.
01:28:07All right.
01:28:24Remember one thing.
01:28:26No beer.
01:28:29You know what I was thinking, Annie?
01:28:31That there's time for one game of Van Tan.
01:28:33Hey, you play Van Tan?
01:28:48Dave, how about a little Van Tan?
01:28:52Just one little game, Annie.
01:29:03Good night.
01:29:23Have a good night.
01:29:24Good night.
01:29:24Good night.
01:29:25Good night.
