00:00Madame, that shotgun is actually a rifle, and it must be cocked and loaded before you can kill me, as any good barbarian would know.
00:30.
00:58Mr. Paladin, fine joke.
01:00Joke, eh, boy? Thank you.
01:05It says, bend in the river, Oregon.
01:08Scarcity of women creates a new type of rustling.
01:11Male-order wives brought in at great expense
01:13are being wooed and married by bachelors
01:16who intercept the stagecoaches before arrival.
01:19Jay Brody, prominent rancher,
01:22has declared war on these wife poachers.
01:24A joke, eh, boy, or perhaps a job?
01:32Mr. J. Brody.
01:40Hold my mail until I return, eh, boy?
01:43Yes, sir.
01:44Oh, isn't that Mr. Lyman?
01:46He rents wagon and supplies?
01:48I believe it is.
01:50Oh, pardon me, madam.
01:52Miss?
01:56Mr. Paladin?
01:57They're off.
01:58Those women you would escort to Brody?
02:01Well, they're gone.
02:02And I...
02:03Oh, there's all those pains again.
02:06Where's my pills?
02:08Oh, you have no idea what a day I've had today
02:10and a wagonload of immigrants lost.
02:12How in the world can you misplace the wagonloads?
02:15Mr. Lyman, I hired a wagon from you
02:18to transport some mail-order brides
02:20to Bend in the River, Oregon.
02:22Now, where are the women
02:23and where is the wagon?
02:25Oh, well, the women arrived all right, you see.
02:29And then they got into the wagon
02:30and they took off at a gallop of the San Marco Rune.
02:32Hey, boy, put that stuff in the saddlebags.
02:35Thank you, Mr. Lyman.
02:37You're going to earn your $1,000, Mr. Paladin.
02:39All right, boy.
02:40The old hair is pretty sore, boy.
02:42Bye, Mr. Lyman.
02:43Bye, Mr. Lyman.
03:13Please, force your animal to desist.
03:18Animal, desist.
03:21Please, now, to disembark.
03:27Disembark!
03:29The animals in this country are as barbaric as the people.
03:41They refuse to obey even the most simple instructions.
03:48Well, madame, it looks to me as if someone had instructed those animals right into a hole.
03:54You will now assist my wagon from this position.
03:59Your wagon, madame?
04:01Would you care to see the lease on that wagon?
04:04Or the letter from Mr. Brody instructing me to deliver a certain cargo to bend in the river?
04:09Now, perhaps, if those will have no effect on you,
04:13this will.
04:14Paladin, what is this madness?
04:25I do not want you.
04:28It is this, this Mr. Lyman, he insists.
04:31I want only this, this stupidity on wheels.
04:35I warn you, monsieur, every centime I own is in this wagon.
04:40And I share my profit with no one.
04:42Well, rest assured, madame, I am being more than adequately paid by Mr. Brody
04:46to deliver you to bend in the river.
04:48Mr. Brody?
04:50To bend in the river.
04:52That is your destination.
04:55Bend in the river.
04:57Ah, oui, oui.
04:59Of course, you are going to bend in the river.
05:03And now we'll just, uh...
05:05I warn you, monsieur.
05:06I am expert with the shotgun.
05:09Well, madame, that presents something of a problem since you're holding a rifle.
05:14Ah, I am even more expert with the rifle.
05:17Well, shotgun or rifle, it has to be cocked before you can fire it.
05:27It is not prepared.
05:33Voila, prepared.
05:36Discharge.
05:38Stand in any event, you'd have to load the gun before it'd fire.
05:41As any good barbarian knows.
05:47Now, devils, get up.
05:48Now, devils, get up.
05:54Now, back, back, back, come on.
06:17Back, go.
06:18Ho, ho, ho.
06:19Ho, ho.
06:20Now, back.
06:21Back, back, come on.
06:22Back.
06:23Go.
06:24Ho, ho.
06:25Ho, ho.
06:26Back to me, and go.
06:28Ho, ho.
06:29Ho, ho.
06:30Ho.
06:31Ho.
06:32Ho.
06:33Ho.
06:34Ho.
06:35Ho.
06:36Ho.
06:37Ho.
06:38Ho.
06:39Ho.
06:40Ho.
06:41Ho.
06:42Ho.
06:43Ho.
06:44Ho.
06:45Ho.
06:46Ho.

06:55Ho.
06:56Ho.
06:57Ho.
06:58Ho.
06:59Ho.
07:00You have a very strong voice, Monsieur.
07:02Could you not see me trembling?
07:08Cécile?
07:10You see, Monsieur, I emerge like a tulip,
07:14blooming under your warm gaze.
07:16Oh!
07:18Oh!
07:20You see, Monsieur, I emerge like a tulip,
07:22blooming under your warm gaze.
07:24And last, Yvonne.
07:28Last, but I assure you, Monsieur,
07:30never least.
07:32I'm sure.
07:34We go to a place, Monsieur,
07:36where the loneliness cuts at a man like a knife.
07:38Does Monsieur think we will be welcome?
07:42No.
07:44No.
07:46No.
07:48No.
07:50No.
07:52No.
07:54No.
07:55No.
07:57No.
07:58Ma'am.
07:59I can only assure you if I ever order a mail-order bride,
08:03it will be from your catalogue.
08:05Oh, voila!
08:08I'm so happy.
08:11I'm so happy.
08:14I want to leave her.
08:19I've got a bit more of my life.
08:21I've had to leave.
08:24It's a beautiful young man.
08:27How many years have I ever been there?
08:30I have a better job.
08:32I've met my school in a bit.
08:33The subject of our studies has changed so much.
09:03Catch me, Monsieur.
09:17Rien de Toussaint.
09:19Oui, Madame.
09:26Now, we will not neglect our duties.
09:29There is the coiffure to arrange.
09:31Oui, Madame.
09:32There's a complexion to be treated.
09:35Oui, Madame.
09:37And so, first we will...
09:46Beauty begins with cleanliness, Madame.
09:52That is a sentiment of which I hardly approve.
09:54However, first we have horses to unharness,
09:57gear to unload, and a camp set-up.
10:00You say you have been employed to transport us, Monsieur.
10:04If that is the custom, please to commence your duties.
10:09Well, we have another custom based on the hardships of travel, Madame.
10:12On the trail, everyone, man or woman, does a full day's work.
10:17The excuse, Monsieur, of the uncivilized men who force their women to labor like animals.
10:23Madame, ahead of us are 200 of the hardest miles in this country.
10:27We have an old saying in France, Monsieur.
10:30Yes, Monsieur.
10:31When his servant is given the weapons, he begins to act like the master.
10:37Come, mes poulettes.
10:39Madame.
10:41Madame.
10:42Madame.
10:51Oh, mesmer.
11:00Madame, we have an old saying in this country, too.
11:02Captain John Smith said it first.
11:05All stomachs are equal.
11:07Those who work, eat.
11:11A simple proverb, Monsieur.
11:13For simple minds.
11:32Another sandwich, Madame.
11:33I'm still on.
11:34Another sandwich, Madame.
11:35I'm still on.
11:36This food that I have purchased must last for three days.
11:39Oh, my God.
11:40Oh, my God.
11:59Another sandwich, Madame.
12:01I'm still hungry.
12:02This food that I have purchased must last for three days.
12:06Monsieur Paladin says the journey will require ten.
12:10Ah, he is lying.
12:11I have made this trip many times myself in Europe.
12:17He roasts meat over his fire.
12:29It becomes cold.
12:30Is it not fortunate?
12:33I have also bring the wine.
12:39To vinegar.
12:40Like the other bottle.
12:42Ah.
12:43In France, it would have been good for a week.
12:46In Cascogne, where I was born, at harvest time, we all worked together.
12:51In my village, too.
12:52Ah, oui.
12:53Ah, the air was clean.
12:54Just like here.
12:55Such appetites we grew.
12:59Perhaps we should do as you ask, Madame.
13:03Never.
13:04Before we are finished, I will bring this man to his knees.
13:07I promise you.
13:08I promise you.
13:23Biscuits à la paladin, Madame.
13:27Crude, unsanitary.
13:29In some aspects, even uncouth.
13:30But I think you will find it also delicious.
13:33Yes.
13:34Yes.
13:47Following which, we will commence our lessons in wagon unloading and campsite preparation.
13:51In protection.
13:52Excuse me.
14:19Alright, Cecille, set the break.
14:21Oh, I am finished.
14:24For nearly a week now.
14:27I cannot go on.
14:29Monsieur Paladin says we've already...
14:31Monsieur Paladin.
14:32Monsieur Paladin, must we start every discourse with these words?
14:36But look how far we have come, madame.
14:39C'est magnifique.
14:41And please to examine this.
14:43The color of brown, alors.
14:45Look, madame, I've gained some too.
14:47I think we can afford to rest here.
14:49And please, please, where are your stays?
14:53Oh, I threw them away, madame.
14:55Monsieur Paladin...
14:56You have discarded your stays?
14:58Of the finest well-born purchased in the finest shop of all Paris?
15:02But oddly enough, madame, they all seem to be gaining a little.
15:06And in this bright sunlight...
15:08I hope you realize something, Monsieur Paladin.
15:11You are ruining me.
15:13I, Madame Chalant, whose training is famous...
15:17throughout the whole of France.
15:19Whose students have played for the Sons of Kings.
15:22Do you realize what you all do to me?
15:25Well, perhaps the Sons of Kings would object...
15:28to a little muscle and suntan.
15:30But the sons of Mr. J. Brody...
15:32Ah, always you change the subject.
15:34Change the subject?
15:36Madame, exactly why are you going to bend in the river?
15:41With Monsieur Brody and his sons.
15:46Come.
15:47If we cannot be women in this savage country...
15:50we will be the horses.
15:52Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
16:22Annette, they say that in this country there is a great scarcity of women.
16:37Monsieur Paladin says that men sometimes travel a hundred kilometers to see one pass by.
16:47And simple wives are treated as queens.
16:51Only they work very hard.
16:55Oh, to work hard is not so bad, if for the right reasons.
17:04Oui, c'est vrai.
17:06Bonsoir.
17:08Bonsoir.
17:11Madame.
17:14Madame.
17:17Oui.
17:19C'est possible.
17:21Are all the men in this country like Monsieur Paladin?
17:26For this you are a weak mate?
17:29Oh, he's very strong, I think.
17:33You're wrong about him.
17:35He's intelligent, still at the same time he has a simplicity.
17:42There were no men like this in Paris.
17:45For which the French government can say prayers of thanks.
17:50Oh, now go to sleep.
17:54Of course...
17:56Eve.
17:57Oh...
17:59La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
18:20We will be there soon.
18:23I think it is time you put your imports back under the canvas.
18:27You are afraid of this stealing of women?
18:30Well, that, among other things, I'd just soon be safe.
18:32If you think it is wise,
18:34retonnez-vous cachet, mes poulettes.
18:36Oui, madame.
18:43Now go. Hiya. Come on.
18:57Oh, madame!
19:13Monsieur, my hat, my hat.
19:16Thank you very much for your hat.
19:21Well, you can keep her a pup.
19:25Oh, savage.
19:27Now you see any other wagons on the trail with women in them?
19:31No, we're on our way from San Francisco.
19:36Pop?
19:37What's the matter, boy?
19:42Did Monsieur wish something?
19:46Yah-ha!
19:48Oh, Monsieur. Monsieur. Oh, no.
19:51Now hold on, boys. No Brody never stole nothing.
19:54We'll pay him.
19:56Brody?
19:58Is your name Jay Brody?
20:01Jay Brody.
20:02Well, Mr. Brody, my name is Paladin,
20:05and voila, here are your women.
20:14Are you out of your mind?
20:15They are not his, nor yours, nor how they found wives.
20:20Those itty-bitty women?
20:23Not by a long shot.
20:25Where was you yesterday?
20:26Supposed to bring us some three school teachers from Boston.
20:29They ain't never got to town.
20:33Boston?
20:36Brody.
20:38Who is she?
20:41I never saw her before.
20:43My apologies, ma'am.
20:50Madame?
20:54Well, I have tried to tell Monsieur Lyman at the stagecoach office.
20:58He has his papers mixed.
21:00I am a different bagage from what he is obviously think.
21:05Of Monsieur Brody.
21:07I have never heard of him.
21:09Well, madame.
21:11Why did you allow me to bring you all the way to Bend in the river?
21:14Because it is where I wish to go.
21:17To open a salon.
21:19Salon.
21:21Ah.
21:22You spell it differently, huh?
21:24Salon.
21:26Madame.
21:28You might have said something.
21:32Well, I see how you push the wagon out of the hole.
21:37And you behave so, so fierce.
21:40And I realize that we need someone.
21:44Someone with muscles and weapons to take care of us and to bring us here.
21:48So, I do not disenchant you.
21:58And now, Monsieur Brody.
22:00Which way is to Bend in the river?
22:05Brody.
22:06Wait a minute.
22:08Madame.
22:13Ladies.
22:14We camp here tonight.
22:16Now.
22:18Hold.
22:23Hold.
22:25Easy.
22:27Easy.
22:29Hold.
22:31Hold.
22:33Stand up.
22:35And easy.
22:37Merci, Monsieur.
22:38Say, I'm, uh, sure glad that they took them Boston ones away from us.
22:51I'm very any one of them.
22:53No.
22:54No, no.
22:55They do not marry with the poor farmer.
22:56They ain't poor.
22:57And your girls ain't bred for farm life anyway.
23:00Monsieur Paladin, help me.
23:03Well, Mr. Brody's just not interested.
23:05Well, they're, they're good lookers and they're talented too.
23:08I'm changing my mind.
23:09Paladin, suppose you consider you brought four ladies over the mountains.
23:10Four, Monsieur?
23:11Well, uh, I, uh, I'm a widower myself and I mean I ain't exactly withering away with old age.
23:25Well, of course, if, if they marry with these sons, I'm, I'm all alone in a strange country, n'est-ce pas?
23:35Well, why don't you two sit down around supper and talk it over.
23:39And if it works out, Paladin, I'll pay you the thousand anyway.
23:43Well, Mr. Brody, as you pointed out, I brought four ladies.
23:47So if it works out, I'll expect your check for $1,333 and 33 and a third cents.
23:54Excuse me.
23:55Oh, no.
24:05Oh, no.
24:06Oh, yes, yes.
24:10Monsieur Paladin.
24:11He's leaving us.
24:17Au revoir, Monsieur Paladin.
24:19Au revoir, Monsieur Paladin.
24:20Au revoir.
24:21Au revoir.
24:25I've gone, we'll travel, reach the card of a man.
24:38A knight without armor in a savage land.
24:44His vast gun for hire heats the calling wind.
24:50A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin, Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam?
