I'm George Good.

You're late.

I said Tuesday.

Oh, I'm sorry. See, I've been waiting ever since morning.

Now, I want you to find a certain missing party for me.

Yeah, they usually do. She's been gone a week.

How old is she?

30, 35?

No, no, no. That's my wife, Helen. I don't mean her. I mean her.

I mean Baba.

Randall, you've got to find her for me.

Baba? Yeah.

You gotta help me.

It's worth $500, and believe me, I can afford it. Yeah.

You're a bounty hunter, aren't you?

Yeah, most of the time.

Randall, I'm desperate.

Yeah.

It seems that way. Now, look, I wish you a lot of luck. I hope you find him.

Her.

Her.

Look, I'll pay you in advance.

That's perfect.

Except that when you call her, you gotta be a little bit more gentle.

She's very sensitive.

You'll never know what my life has been like since Baba left.

My wife won't talk to me. She won't even look at me. If I don't know what's

going to happen, I... You see, Baba was getting all the attention, and I guess I

was just crazy jealous, so I took her up on High Ridge and left her.

That must have been out of my mind.

Not a word now.

George? Yes, dear?

She's been this way ever since, dressed in black.

How are you, dear?

Empty.

Now, look, darling, I've got some good news.

You found Baba?

No, not quite.

But you had word she's been seen?

Not quite that, either.

Why are you torturing me?

I'm not, really. You are.

You've hated my precious darling from the beginning. You're glad she's gone. I

know it. Look at you, wallowing in vengeance.

I want my Baba.

Bob, darling.

Don't touch me. You're a cruel man.

What did I do?

You wanted her gone.

But, Helen, I... Don't try to deny it. I heard you with my own ears. Get that

critter out of my parlor.

Your very own words.

Now, look, darling, I really do have some good news for you.

This is Mr. Josh Randall, and he's going to help us find Baba.

Mr. Randall is a famous hunter, and I've hired him to just forget everything

else and concentrate on Baba.

Mr. Randall, you're a decent man.

She's so helpless, and she needs me. You won't mistake her. She's soft and white

and furry.

And... Dear.

Here she is.

Oh, my poor lost baby.

Honey, don't you think you ought to give the picture to Mr. Randall so he could

recognize Baba?

Listen, ma 'am, an awful lot of sheep out here in this part of the country

be awful.

There's half the bounty money in advance.

You talk about my little girl as though she were a criminal.

Oh, I'm sorry, dear.

It was just the way I said it. The way you say things always frighten her. I

love her, Mr. Randall. Is that wrong?

No, ma 'am, it's just an awful... There's something else that might help

She has a little gold bell around her neck.

Send all the way to San Francisco for it.

And please be very gentle with her.

I already told Mr. Randall that, honey. And why don't you practice what you

preach? Now, honey, don't worry. Mr.

Randall's going to find Baba.

Bless you.

And there's nothing of mine that you can't have, Randall, now or ever, and

have my word on that. And I know that you're not the kind of man that'd run

with my money.

Come here.

Excuse me.

Before you settle down here, what kind of work did you do?

I was a salesman.

George! Sorry, dear.

You're going to love this one.

Let's go.

Whoa.

Howdy. I'm, uh, looking for a little sheep.

I don't like that kind of joke, mister.

Oh, no joke.

We're cattle people around here, understand?

The minute I saw you, I knew you was a sheep man.

No, no, no, no. I'm just looking for one little sheep.

This is cattle grazing land here, mister.

The sooner you sheep people understand it, the better off you're gonna be.

Now, you get off of it, and you stay off. And tell that to the rest of your

sheep people, too.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir

for a little sheep.

Got a little bell around his neck.

Right here.

You got any more here beside these?

Oh, you got four more.

No, four hundred.

How's business, Josh?

Oh, haven't you heard?

Randall's been expanding his operations.

How's that?

Oh, he'll go out after anything.

Isn't afraid of men the beast Randall isn't? Is that true?

He's too bashful.

All brave men are bashful. Yeah, I suppose so.

I guess that's what's got me worried.

Got you worried?

Sure. Josh is in real danger out there alone on the range.

One gun stalking a dangerous critter like Baa Baa?

You take my advice, you shoot to kill.

Should I tell him?

He's a friend, isn't he? Right.

Say, I heard about a job for you, Josh.

You know Molly Harkness runs the lady store?

She lost her cat.

Name's Meow Meow.

Meow Meow.

Meow.

Meow.

Hello, Slim.

Buy you beer?

I'm particular about who I drink with.

Señor Judge, I would like to speak to you.

Go ahead.

But... No,

no, no.

I'll come back later. Don't go away.

Come to think of it, you do look familiar.

Come on, will you?

You look like Josh Randall, all right.

I need this right now like I need a hole in the head, you know that?

You look like him, yet you're not him from all I hear.

Josh is a man, not a nurse to a sheep.

You know, you and I used to be on the same side, remember?

We used to be.

You sure you want me to buy you that beer now?

Like I said, I'm particular about who I drink with.

Josh, you had me scared for a minute.

Yeah, how's that?

Chasing that sheep.

You've got to quit it.

Made a deal, can't get out of it.

Well, if I were you, I'd break it. Can't.

Money isn't everything.

Now, you listen to me. You quit bothering me about the sheep business.

my problem, not yours. You hear me?

Here's to you, baby.

Amigo, I have thought it over.

Now is the time to speak.

This is what I wish to speak to you about.

That's Baba's bell, isn't it?

I think so.

Excuse me, Slim. I want to talk to you.

Where is she?

I do not know.

Where did you get this?

I found it, amigo. Where?

In the place that is called Tyler Spring, in the road of Porter Town. Do

know the place? Yeah, yeah.

Well, you know, Carmelita, that's my burro, you know, my burrito. She was

thirsty, so I stopped for her to drink a water. Yeah, yeah, go on. It was in the

spring where Carmelita was drinking.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

Amigo, you was talking to the beautiful señorita.

Here, you, uh, you, uh, buy some string for your guitar, huh? Si, señor.

Listen, Slim, I... Yeah, yeah.

Bye -bye.

Mr.

Randall. Mr.

Randall. He's looking for a cheap...

By the name of Baba Baba.

And he's looking for that sheep.

He's been looking by the river.

He's been looking by the dell.

And I'm sure now he will find her. You know why, amigo?

Because I gave him the bell, Mr. Randall.

Mr. Randall.

He's been looking for a sheep by the name of...

And I hope you will find her now.

I'm still looking.

On your feet, mister.

Now, wait a minute. I ain't looking for no trouble. Just looking for a little

sheep, remember?

I remember what I told you. All them other sheep people, too.

You come in here on this land after we fought for it. Yeah, and died for it.

Our blood's here, not the sheep man's.

I told you this was cattle grazing country, didn't I?

Wasting time.

Shut up. I want your advice. I'll ask for it.

This is our land, mister, and there ain't no sheep man ever gonna take it

from us.

Fine.

Smart, aren't you?

Not too.

We're just wasting time.

Are you running this?

I didn't say that. Then don't say anything.

Now, you just tell us that you bought the land, are you home -staked it, or

whatever other reason you sheep people want to give us.

Look, I ain't no sheep man. I'm just looking for one little sheep. Get the

Oh, now, hold on a minute.

It ain't even my sheep. You knew what you were doing. No, I didn't.

You want to die, mister?

Uh -uh.

Here, go now.

Come on, over there.

Up the hill.

Listen, I'm telling you.

What are you doing?

I'm measuring.

Now, listen, mister, you got this all wrong.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, my name's Randall. I'm in the bounty business.

The little sheep committed a crime, huh?

Now, looky here. They hired me to do a job.

It was a pet sheep. It run away. I'm bringing it back.

Oh, sure.

And you picked this land to find it on, huh?

Why don't you let the man speak? He's done spoke his piece.

You die much quicker that way, mister.

I'm only trying to get some proof.

Oh, yeah.

Get it.

Moose? He ain't even got a gun.

That's right.

Get it.

Well, here's your bell.

Whose bell?

The, uh, sheep's bell.

You expect me to believe that somebody gave this little gold doodad to a sheep?

Well, it's the truth, so help me.

What's the name of this sheep?

Baba.

To my darling from mommy.

A baby's necklace.

Hang him.

You had your say.

No use.

Stop wiggling.

What do you mean stop wiggling? You're getting ready to hang me, mister.

I'm going to hit you.

Picture of the sheep.

Why, it's Baba.

Baba.

It's Baba!

Hey,

what'd you do that for?

For laughing.

You tell me to hang somebody, that's all right.

But nobody tells me I can't laugh.

Boots! Moons!

Boots!

You're glad you're still here.

I want to take another look at that flock. I got a little bit... Never mind.

I want to take a look at your flock. Where are they?

Oh, come on. Why don't you talk to me this time, huh?

Like I told you, mister.

Four hundred.

I know how many you got, but where are they?

They all went to market.

Where?

Porterstown. Now, is that for true?

Mister, you call me a liar and I'm going to pull you right off that horse.

Speak up.

Last time around.

What are you doing?

Looking for a sheep. It's a pet.

Why don't you come on over here? Where? Just over here where you can sit down.

Out of the sun.

Seems like I was scared.

Come on, little girl. Come on. Scare the sheep.

Yeah. Come on.

We don't want to scare the sheep, do we?

No. Come on.

Now, come on, mister.

Come on, little girl.

Come on.

There's Baba.

Baba?

What do you think you're going to do with her? I'm going to take her home.

She belongs in there.

She belongs at home. She belongs at home.

Hank, open up the chute and let Baba out.

Here, here.

Use this rope.

It's on the house.

Nothing's too good for Baba.

Yeah, that's right.

Come on.

Okay, now just hold on one second.

Let me change the wrist here first.

Hello, anybody home?

Hello?

Welcome,

Randall, welcome.

Yes, sir, well, here she is.

Randall, it's a pleasure to see you.

I'll never be able to thank you enough, Mr. Randall.

Yes, ma 'am.

Go ahead, Helen. Tell him.

Well, I've grown up now, Mr. Randall. I know now that my husband comes first.

Yeah, well, that's just fine.

He's your little friend.

Now, about the rest of that bounty money, Randall, believe you me, it's my

pleasure. Yeah, well, much obliged. Now, here's your little friend.

She's a lovely little sheep, Mr. Randall, but she's not going to come

husband and me again.

We give bye -bye to you, Mr. Randall.

No, ma 'am. It's a bonus to remember us by.

No, ma 'am.

You stay away from me.

Mr.

Randall. Mr. Randall.

He's been looking for a sheep by the name of Baba Baba.

And I hope he will find her now.
