I'm sorry. Oh, Ellen, Ellen, you don't
have to be sorry.

You have a real good cry.

Bart, how many times have I warned you
to keep your hands off her?

Doc. How many times do I have to say it?

Keep your hands off her.

Outside.

Doc, I don't want to get in a fight with
you. We've been friends for too long.

You can say that again.

Out.

Outside. A Warner Brothers television
production.

Oh, morning, Paul.

Morning, Sam.

Well, I see they're still at it.

Light's still on.

Yep. And $200 more, gentlemen.

You in?

Not me.

I think you're bluffing.

You may be right.

What about you, Mr. Parker?

Don't you know you can't bluff?

You can't fool your lungs. The trouble
with the world is today, nobody knows

to breathe.

Now, most of us won't cheat our
neighbors.

Close that window. We cheat ourselves
every day by not breathing.

I'll take an IOU until I can get to the
safe.

I'll raise your 500.

Your word is good enough for me, Mr.
Parker.

Here's my 500.

What do you have?

And you beat a flush.

Sorry. Full house.

How'd you get so lucky?

I just slip right. Excuse me.

Another hand, gentlemen?

Suppose we get a few hours sleep.

That suits me fine.

Whenever you need me, I'll be ready.

Room 210.

210.

I'll get the money and bring it up to
you.

That's fine. Room 210.

I know.

Thank you for a very pleasant weekend,
gentlemen.

I'll see you later.

My brother's a perfect example of a
gentleman. He wins or loses with equal

grace. What are you doing here?

Came in for the cattle show.

Not being held in my hotel.

Out. You're not welcome here.

Mother came with me. She has some silly
idea that brothers ought to be friends.

So humor, hmm?

Where is she?

She's in the lobby.

Hate to think what's going to happen
when your mother isn't around to keep

peace. Well, I just hope we can keep
from killing each other while she's

still stubborn enough to want to see my
two sons settle this feud before I pass

on. If I'd known you were here, I'd have
quit playing sooner. It would have been

cheaper, too.

Oh, Willie, you promised to be nice.

Now, you two are going to make up. Shake
hands.

Two minutes ago, I wasn't welcome in
your hotel.

You're not welcome in the casino because
you don't know how to gamble. You

always twist things around to suit
yourself, don't you?

Willie! Well, I'm sorry, Mother, but the
only time I'll shake his hand is when

there's a certified check in it.

You only have one brother.

After the cattle show, we'll have supper
together one way or another. We're

going to settle this fight before it
gets out of the family and into the

Whatever you say, Mother.

You're tired, son. Get some sleep.

Yes, Mother.

Don't be so formal. Come right in,
gentlemen.

Mr. Maverick.

I've been thinking over our game.

And it's absolutely inconceivable to me
that I should lose at poker.

But since I did lose, I've come to a
very painful conclusion.

You must have cheated.

Would you mind telling me how?

Well, frankly, I'm not sure.

But that's just a detail.

Could it be that I'm a better player?

No.

Mr. Maverick, I don't like to lose.

Neither do I, Mr. Parker.

I don't like to lose, so I never do.

You're a stranger.

And in this town, Mr. Parker may not
always be right, but he's never wrong.

On the face of such logic, what do you
expect me to do?

Under the circumstances, why don't you
leave town on the next stage?

Gladly. As soon as I get what's coming
to me.

You heard the man.

I had a feeling I shouldn't have said it
that way. Now, listen, fellas. Here's

the 500 Mr. Parker owes you.

I don't get this.

You will.

Very systematically.

One to the stomach.

Good.

Right across to the jaw.

Slim. left of the midsection.

Now, Joan, you're a haymaker?

Ah.

Thank you.

Ah, his wallet.

How much did you lose?

Six hundred.

Something for your medical expenses.

What about Doc Whalen's money?

Let the doctor collect his own fees.

There. That ought to do it.

That'll be two dollars, please.

You know, we get quite a bit of traffic
here on Main Street during the cattle

show. You ought to watch where you're
going.

Yeah. Oh, thanks.

Ever been to a cattle show?

Oh, I feel like I've been in a
slaughterhouse.

Mr. Maverick.

I just heard what happened, or I would
have been here sooner.

Dr. Whalen heard I got hit by a runaway
wagon. What story did you hear?

Oh, by the way, who are you?

This is Mr. Parker's brother.

Dr. Whelan delivered me. He was at my
christening, attended my graduation, but

when it comes time to introduce me, then
I am Mr. Parker's brother.

Oh, I didn't mean it that way, Bill. Is
it all right if I talk to Mr. Maverick

alone, or do you have to get Mr.
Parker's permission?

Why, no. No, go right ahead. Excuse me.

You hurt badly?

To tell you the truth, I'm afraid to
answer that question.

With all the trouble I've had with your
brother, I hope I get along with you.

You can do that and show profit at the
same time.

Interested?

Now, that depends.

My brother's a throwback.

I fight with my own fists.

You seem to know him quite well.

Yes, and I hate him.

I'd never have guessed that. Well, it's
not a simple kind of hate.

Sometimes I could kill him.

But I don't want to hurt my mother.

Where do I fit into all this?

We both have the same axe to grind.

He owes us money.

Go on.

Well, my father left us equal shares in
everything.

But I was underage.

He had the power of attorney, and he
still won't give it up.

You need a lawyer, my friend.

I just came from three of them.

They're all too busy, all of a sudden.
Just can't take my case.

Well, there are other towns, other
lawyers.

Well, I don't really want to drag it out
in the court. Dig up all that dirty

laundry and upset my mother.

See, I got to thinking, if I could just
once get him to admit he was wrong about

something, about anything, then I'd be
able to reach him.

But how do you reason with a man that
honestly always thinks he's right?

I'm living proof that can't be done.

If you could just force him to pay up
what he owes you, I'd have a chance.

Why me?

Because you're a stranger.

And everyone else is too scared of you.
What he doesn't own outright, he holds a

mortgage on.

And people always do what he says.

I'm going to spoil his record.

Anybody tells me to get out of town, I
get very hard of hearing.

Help me to teach him a lesson.

You can ask any price. Money is no
object.

It may not be to you, but to me, money
is the most beautiful object in the

world, and I have no intention of
leaving any of mine here. Have you got

ideas?

No, just a notion that I'd enjoy
educating a boy your brother's age.

Where can I find you if I need you? At
the cattle show. Just a minute.

If your brother has all your money, what
were you going to use to pay me off?

Well, the ranch is in my mother's name.
I think she'll go along with anything to

keep us out of court.

Until I come up with something, what
would you lose if you just tried to talk

him once more?

A couple of teeth.

With Carvela snake oil and proper
breathing, you'll never get sick.

You'll never get tired.

You don't need a gun for protection
because nobody fights you.

You can't fool your lungs.

The trouble with the world is today
nobody knows how to breathe.

Dog.

Dog, baby.

Look at me.

Please.

Pretty pleased with sugar on it? The
last time I looked at you, you were

standing next to yourself.

Well, don't they give you twice as much
to love?

You better go on home. I'm in pretty bad
company today.

Doc Holliday.

Bart Maverick, how are you? Will you
have a drink?

How are you, Doc? Not too drunk to
protect my own interest.

This is Alan. Keep your hands off her.

Alan, this is Bart Maverick, but as far
as you're concerned, he doesn't exist.

I only introduced you to him because I'm
polite, but now you just forget him.

Hey, I hear you made quite a killing at
poker.

Yeah, I did pretty good.

Bartender! From now on, all my drinks
are on Mr. Bart Maverick here. Set him

Hey, you don't look like such a winner.
Doc, that hurts. Maybe I should buy you

a drink.

You need any money? I didn't think I
looked that bad. You do.

What are you doing in this town? I'm
pondering.

About what?

Man's inhumanity to man.

Doc, why don't you sit down, huh?

Thank you.

Times are changing, Bart.

Time was men in the same business used
to extend professional courtesy to one

another.

No more.

No, no. You know, it's getting harder
and harder nowadays to find a crooked

doctor.

Do you happen to know Dr.

Whelan? I certainly do.

Well, I asked him for a favor, and he
gave me a diagnosis.

I know what's the matter with me, but I
thought we'd keep it to ourselves till

after I got myself some life insurance.

What do you want that for?

For my pretty little Ellen here to take
care of her when I can't.

Doc, please don't talk that way.

Haven't you had enough to dink?

You're so pretty, I can't mind you
asking such a stupid question.

Bart, how would you like to help me
brood? Since when do you need help, Doc?

Well, I'm low, miserable, drunk, and
sick, and I'm perfectly willing to share

all with you. That's the best offer I've
had today.

Because you're a stranger.

And everyone else is too scared of you.

What he doesn't own outright, he holds a
mortgage over.

People always do what he says.

Doc, if somebody asked you what kind of
a mind I had, what would you say?

Low and devious.

Why? One more question.

What do you think of George Parker?

Watch your language in front of Ellen.

You know, I think I'll go out and get me
some of that life insurance.

I don't know what the connection is, but
you forget it.

They'll turn you down, too.

Well, I am perfectly healthy.

Professional gamblers are not considered
a very good risk. You have to have a

respectable business. And what about
you? Ah, you forget.

I have another profession.

After all, I am still a dentist.

Wait here for me, will you, Doc?

Now, where are you going?

Out to get respectable.

I like him the way he is.

Bill?

Oh, mother, this is the man I told you
about, Mr. Maverick.

Mrs. Parker?

How do you do, Mr. Parker? Are you still
willing to help me teach your brother a

lesson? I sure am.

You make me a prominent businessman, and
I'm your boy.

Well, that's up to you, mother.

Well, he needs a long overdue lesson in
humility.

No!

as well as the date on it. I want George
to know just when I got on to him.

Ma 'am, now that you've paid your son's
tuition, his schooling is about to

begin. You're taking quite a chance on
our friend here, aren't you?

Thanks, Doc.

Well, you don't have a particularly
honest face. I just wondered why she'd

you. Well, I'll show you one reason.

See that over there?

Fine shot, ma 'am.

My daddy used to say a girl can trust
any man. She can out -shoot.

Young man, I'll expect reports from you.

Oh, you'll get them. Tell Bill I'll do
my best.

Doc, if Bill was her only son, I'd
introduce her to Pappy.

He'd like her.

Yeah, but just imagine me getting stuck
with George Parker as a stepbrother.

This may be the wisest move of your
lifetime.

It's the only sure way to financial
security that there is.

You hardly miss the premiums, and you
always have the feeling that, come what

may, your loved ones are protected.

Can a man ask for anything more in this
lifetime?

Can he, Doc?

I don't know. I'll have to think about
that.

And you're in good company, too.

Listen to this list of satisfied
policyholders with Western Insurance

There's Judge Bean. Breathe in.

Mayor Phillips.

Breathe out. Sheriff Silver.

Cough. Henry Jones. He's our banker.

Breathe again.

Let me see that list.

I said breathe again.

Exhale. A man can't have too much
insurance.

That's all, Mr. Maverick.

Examination's complete. Two dollars,
please.

How much is it good for?

Two dollars, please.

Thank you. Perfect physical specimen.
Good for any amount.

Thanks, Doc. Well, now, we're not
insuring folks for any amount yet.

This is a new company.

Insurance is a new idea for the West.

We got a limit of $50 ,000.

Of course, with double indemnity, that
brings it up to $100 ,000.

And now, Mr. Maverick, a man needs an
incentive in life.

So I think you should sign for just a
mite more than you can really afford.

That way, you'll have a goal to work
for.

What is the premium on $50 ,000?

Eight hundred and ten a year. But, of
course, you can pay it semi -annually.

Well, that's fine.

Here is six months in advance.

And one question.

When does the coverage start?

Well, now, let's see. We got most of the
information before the examination.

All we'll need now is the name of the
beneficiary. Who'll it be?

How about... How about your brother,
Brett? He can use money any time.

That's a fine idea, Doc.

Brett. B -R -E -T.

Maverick. Brett.

Maverick. There we are.

And there you are.

And welcome to the Western Insurance
family.

Thank you, Mr. Landry.

Think of it, Bart.

You haven't lost a premium.

You have just gained a home.

True.

What do you want with this? Now, Doc, I
wouldn't want to spoil your surprise.

Wait here for me, will you?

That

is

that.

Which brings me to another point, ladies
and gentlemen.

Now, whoever it was who said you don't
judge a book by its cover must have been

a skinny little rat.

You're judged, all right.

Now, I'll guarantee you, if you take a
bottle... Doc, that's it.

My sermon for tonight.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Anybody but me ever tell you what a
sneaky mind you've got?

I often wondered if we're not related.

Doc, my pappy's not the kind to kiss and
tell.

Mr. Parker.

In the dining room.

Thank you.

Doctor?

Mr.

Parker, I've decided not to leave town
because it wouldn't be fair to you.

If I was a hundred miles away when you
repent and want to pay me the money you

owe me, you'd feel terrible.

Now, isn't he just about the most
considerate man you've ever met?

I paid you what I owed you.

In front of witnesses?

I'm so convinced you want to be honest
that I'll forget you said that. I'll

bet you $1 ,000 you apologize and beg me
to take the money. Of course, you'll

have to add 6 % interest for every day
of delay.

That's only fair, isn't it?

I already paid you, Mr. Maverick. In
that case, what are you afraid of? The

bet's a sure thing.

That's why I can't accept it, Mother.
Oh, since when did you pass up easy

Money?

As soon as I see yours.

I never carry that kind of money on me.
It's in the safe.

Wait here.

Mr. Parker.

I

think we're going to

need a parade permit.

How about a disinterested third party
holding the stakes?

We can go over to the bank and have it
held there.

No, sir.

Why not?

You own the bank and the banker.

But why don't we let your mother hold
it?

Surely you trust your own mother.

Mother?

Mrs. Parker.

Well, it's going to supper, George.
Bill?

You know, George is going to get a swift
kick where it hurts most.

Right in his wallet.

Now, Doc, we're going to spend the
evening furthering our education.

We're going to improve our intellect so
we'll be sharp in the morning.

Well, now, that's one course, and
anatomy is just a little bit too

you, son.

I'll stay after school.

Let me put it more subtly. You lay one
finger on her, and you're going to flunk

out of life.

You don't mean it's love.

It's the most reasonable facsimile I've
found.

Let's start this day off right with an
exercise to clear our brain.

At the count of two, we move our head
from side to side.

One.

Two. If I move my head, it's going to
roll right off my shoulders.

One. Let's start this day off with
another drink. No, no, Doc. Come on.

You had a good time last night? Two. Mm
-hmm. One. Did I?

Uh -uh.

Good morning, gentlemen.

I don't think it's a good morning. I
came to arrange for a funeral.

Oh.

Well, that's never pleasant.

But I can make it easier for you.

All the prices are clearly marked on
each coffin.

And that includes everything but the
plot.

Does the deceased have a plot?

Does he?

Oh, well, in that case, we can get on
with the vital statistics.

Are they name of the deceased?

Me. Hmm?

Me, Bart Maverick.

You.

Landry, the day after you sold Mr.
Maverick a $100 ,000 double indemnity

insurance policy, he came in to arrange
for his own funeral? Is that right?

Yes, sir.

One more, please.

Doc, make a note to have Parker pay for
this, too, huh?

You two, come in here.

I want to talk to you.

We'll be in the bar.

You can join us if you wish.

Doc, hold on to your hat. Looks like our
side is up to bat.

Bart, aren't you mixing up two national
pastimes in the same sentence? Is that

bad?

Leave the bottle here.

As you can see, I'm very well known in
this town.

Yeah. Is that today's paper?

Just come out.

Thank you.

Well, from here on out, you keep me
covered.

What do you worry about?

You got a paid -up funeral.

Explain your game.

When it comes to money, my friend
doesn't play.

Just exactly what do you want?

Just exactly what you owe me. I want to
know about the insurance policy you

bought yesterday and the funeral you
arranged today.

It's quite simple.

Mr. Maverick is a man who can't live
without money. Without it, I'd just as

be dead.

Either you pay up what you owe me, or
you'll have my life on your conscience.

And my brother on your neck.

The brother is the beneficiary.

Where do you come into this?

Well, if he has to die, I'm to see to it
that you pay off the brother.

He has to die.

Exactly.

Bartender, would you bring us another
glass, please?

Mr. Maverick, please take a look at the
fine print in your policy. The company

does not pay off for suicide.

Suicide?

My suicide is against my moral
principles.

No, Mr. Maverick is too much a coward to
kill himself.

I just intend to go out in the street,
pick a fight, and get myself shot.

Oh, and...

You better draw first. That'll give the
gentleman who obliges you a chance to

claim self -defense.

That's a good idea, Doc.

It's still suicide.

You know, morally, he's right. Let's not
discuss that, Doctor.

Mr. Parker, how many policy
cancellations can your company afford

survive?

You know, people take a dim view of
insurance companies that don't pay off.

They seldom bother to investigate who's
right.

Blackmail.

Did you ever hear of a blackmailer who
comes right out in the open?

Like this?

Well, don't bother reading the small
print. It's just a complete list of

satisfied policyholders, including me.

Thank you. Mr. Parker, how many policies
have you paid off on already?

None.

Get set.

Doctor, this is the gentleman who hit me
first.

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

You see how easy it is to have somebody
pull a gun on me?

Everybody, listen to me.

If anyone in this town lays one finger
on Mr. Maverick, you'll answer to me.

No matter what he does, no matter what
happens, no one gives him a fight.

Pass the word.

The town is yours, Mr. Maffrey, until I
can think of a way to stop you.

Don't you think it would be cheaper in
the long run just to pay me what you owe

me? Mr.

Parker, would you kindly have your
bartender send up a case of your private

stock to my room, please?

Why?

Oh, I want to keep my friend happy.

will be done.

A situation such as this offers
interesting possibilities to a man of

I want to talk to you.

Most of us won't cheat our neighbors,
but we cheat ourselves every day by not

breathing right. The window.

Let me see your copy of that policy.

This policy is as good as canceled right
now.

Aren't you going to eat, Doc?

Never an empty stomach.

Mr. Maverick, you're so smart, you
outsmarted yourself.

It takes talent.

I'm going to take out a full page in the
paper to explain why this policy is

being canceled.

Well, try it on me first. It may save
you money.

You're a gambler.

Yet you listed yourself as a cattle
buyer and rancher. That little lie voids

your policy.

I am a gambler, and so are lots of other
men.

Matter of fact, you gamble rather
heavily yourself, don't you?

You're a professional gambler.

He's a cattle buyer too, George.

I've solely one half interest in my
ranch.

It's recorded at the town halls. It was
a legal fact.

And it was done before I took out the
policy.

Why did you do this to me? Well, to show
you that no one is big enough or smart

enough to step on people just to get
their own way. Now, remember what your

father said.

Some men have to learn the hard way.

We had a good month.

That's funny.

What time have you got?

Eight o 'clock.

What happened to my supper?

Should have been here. Should have been
here an hour ago. Go down to the kitchen

and find out what's happened.

Well, they've been kind of busy.

Too busy to serve me.

You finish the books.

I'll see about this.

It is a pleasure to cook for men who
appreciate good food.

The only thing they like to eat here is
meat and potatoes.

Meat and potatoes.

Meat and potatoes.

Ah, monsieur, some garlic?

Naturally. Naturally.

If I only had the proper ingredients, I
would cook for you.

Just make a list of whatever you need,
maestro, and give it to Dr. Holliday.

I'll put it right on my wine list.
Merci, monsieur.

I'm sorry the dining room's been taken
over by a private party.

I'm sorry the dining room... Would you
mind getting my supper?

Oui, monsieur.

Pardonnez -moi.

Don't overdo a good thing, Mr. Maverick.
One word from me and you won't be able

to get so much as a glass of water in
this town. Just remember that.

And don't you forget, sir, that I could
just as easily die of malnutrition.

It only takes longer.

I might enjoy that.

Oh, cheer up. This can't go on much
longer. Sooner or later, a stranger will

show up, someone you don't own or
control.

And if I'm insulting enough, I may talk
him into a gunfight.

You're not the kind of man who wants to
die.

No, but I'm just as stubborn about
getting my way as you are about getting

yours.

I ought to call your bluff.

That'll cost you $100 ,000, Mr. Parker.

You ever gambled for such high stakes
before?

Oh, incidentally, I mailed a policy to
my brother.

He knows where to find you and how much
to collect.

$100 ,000.

You know, Doc, I feel like a rich man.

Say, Bart, for that kind of money, you
don't think Brett would try to kill you

himself, do you?

That's ridiculous. He's my brother.

Still, we haven't been too close lately.

Mr. Parker.

Thank you.

Meet me in the lobby.

The man who cut off his nose to spite
his face must have taken lessons from

It'll cost you $50 a day in hard cash to
hire me as Maverick's bodyguard.

What? Don't try to bargain. You need me
more than I need you.

He's a terrible shot.

What makes you think I want to hire you?

If I have to start explaining the facts
of life to you, the price goes up.

I'll expect you to stop drinking when
you work for me. Goodbye.

Wait a minute. Price is now $60 a day.

If anyone comes near him, shoot to kill.

Don't worry about the law.

I'll take care of that.

Soon as I get your signed letter in your
handwriting confirming those facts,

I'll start right to work.

Oh, and I want to see you write that
letter, too.

The room clerk over there can witness
the signature.

It's not that I don't trust you because
I don't. It's just that, well, if I

should shoot someone and you don't make
good your promise about the law...

then that letter will guarantee me the
pleasure of your company at my hanging.

Shall we?

Dr. Holliday.

Ah, Mr. Landry.

I've been looking for you.

Bart and I are awful sorry you got
caught up in the middle of this thing,

we'll try to make it up to you somehow.

Well, I'm glad you feel that way about
it.

I couldn't help overhearing your
conversation in there with Mr. Parker.

$60 a day isn't much for a man of your
talent.

Well, not much your proposition.

Well, now, you're the only one in this
town who knows Maverick's brother.

Now, if anything was to happen to Mr.

Maverick... The company'd pay off to
whoever you identify.

Oh, I'm way ahead of you, Mr. Landry.

You pick out a ringer, I shoot Bart, and
we split the money three ways, right?

Right.

$50 ,000 for you, Doc.

I'll split the rest for the ringer.

$50 ,000 cash, Doc. Think of it.

You can't get insurance yourself.

$50 ,000 is a lot of money, especially
if you're alive to spend it.

What do you say?

Son of money.

How could you spend so much in only one
week? But, monsieur, that includes the

wine. I have a whole cellar full.

Monsieur Maverick preferred a better
vintage.

What? He and Dr. Holliday are true
gourmet, monsieur.

Dear Lord, give me patience.

But give it to me.

to meet a sister?

No, thanks.

Not yet.

Cheer up, Doc.

We're having a party.

Where's Ellen?

Crying in her dressing room, I hope.

You hope?

As long as she's in her dressing room, I
don't have to worry about her.

What's the matter with you, Doc?

I'm wrestling with an ethical problem.
Go away with it. I can't. You could pay

60 a day to keep an eye on me.

Very funny.

Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I
can help.

Well, I have a chance to make an awful
lot of money, but it means crossing a

friend. How much money is involved?

50 ,000 cash.

With that kind of money, you could buy
more friends than you could use in your

lifetime.

Say, Doc, any chance of getting me in on
the deal?

Well, if I go along with it, I guarantee
you'll get yours.

If you go along with it?

Now, use your head, Doc. No matter what
a man does in his life, he's always got

a guilty conscience, right?

Well, according to my pappy, the smart
man suffers his guilt pangs in luxury.

Very persuasive. Very persuasive.

Hasn't this past week taught you
anything about what money can buy?

For the rest of my life, I'll remember
that you talked me into this. I want to

thank you.

Say, aren't you supposed to ride out to
Mr. Parker and report to him? Yeah. Say,

I'll get the horses and meet you out
front. Oh, and Bart.

Thanks again, huh?

Thank you, but... $50 ,000.

Mr. Maverick, can we go to a table?

I want to talk privately.

Of course, Ellen.

What's the matter, Ellen?

I'm worried about Doc.

He's so jumpy and so mean lately.

And he keeps talking about ethics.

his voice hey thought i heard a shot
yeah was it me went right through that

window did you see anybody doc no what
he's so nervous about he missed that's

very funny i don't like it if no one but
you and the snake oil man were out here

it just doesn't make sense what about
them no they came outside with me how

you be sure did you count him doc come
here

You think Parker found a way out of this
and he really wants to see me dead?

Well, that's a possibility.

We're all alone and I make too good a
target in this light.

What about Mrs. Parker?

She'll have to come in and see me.

Go on. No, I better get the horses back.
I'll see you in there later.

All right, Doc. Thanks.

Doc? Doc?

I was sitting there when the shot was
fired.

And it occurred to me...

Maybe someone thought they were shooting
at you. You here to protect me, is that

the idea?

No, I'm too selfish for that.

I just want to spend as much time as I
can with you.

I love you, Doc.

Ellen, you're wonderful.

Bart gets shot at, he suspects everyone
in sight, and what's on your mind?

You love me.

Remember this.

Whatever I do is for you.

I didn't see anything.

Everything's all right, man. Just had a
bad dream. Nothing's wrong.

Whoever it was must have hidden in that
closet and waited.

Where were you? What am I paying you
for? From now on, you sleep in this

Have you ever heard him snore?

What's all the commotion about?

Mother!

This is no place for you.

I'll be right back.

You won't find me here.

Doc, I thought you said Mrs. Parker went
back to the ranch.

Changed her mind.

You know women.

Mr. Maverick.

Hello, Ellen.

Hello. Where's Doc?

He's upstairs getting dressed. He'll be
right down.

Do you feel better?

I really don't know.

I suppose I'll just have to get used to
his moods.

Or stop loving him.

Which is easier?

We don't have much time together.

Do you realize how sick he is?

I'm sorry, Mr. Baverick.

You've got enough on your mind.

Without you... Try and think of... I'm
sorry.

Oh, Ellen, Ellen, you don't have to be
sorry.

You have a real good cry.

Bart, how many times have I warned you
to keep your hands off her?

Doc, what's the matter?

How many times do I have to say it?

Keep your hands off her.

Oh, come on, Doc, let me explain. I was
standing here at the bar and... Save

your breath.

to get in a fight with you. We've been
friends for too long.

You can say that again.

Out.

Doc. Outside.

Doc.

This is ridiculous. Out.

I was just standing there at the bar,
Doc. Go get Mr. Parker, quick.

Yes, ma 'am.

You don't understand. You see, I was
just trying to be nice to Helen. I

understand.

Over there.

Doc, why don't you listen to reason?

It's a waste of time.

Doc, give me a chance.

I'll give you a chance.

To draw.

Against you?

I can't draw against you, Doc.

I count to three.

You can draw any time.

After I get to three, you get it anyhow.

One.

Stop that! That's not what I'm paying
you for!

That's right, Doc.

Sixty dollars a day.

Two.

Doc, I don't want to fight with you.

You've got no choice.

Lift him up.

Give me a hand.

You were taking too long to make up your
mind, Doc.

I thought I'd help you out.

Come on, over to my office. Get his
feet.

Easy now.

You were planning to shoot me all along,
weren't you, Doc?

What kind of a friendship is that? $50
,000 is too much of a strain to put on

any friendship.

That would have been my cut.

Oh, if it's any consolation to you, it
was Landry who tried to knife you and

bushwhack you.

I don't miss.

Well, anyhow, when the chips are down,
you just couldn't shoot me. Never got

chance.

Thanks for protecting your investment.

That's the first time I ever shot
anyone.

Mr. Maverick.

If you'll come inside, I'll pay you what
I owe you with interest plus any kind

of apology.

And Bill, come into the office tomorrow
and we'll have a talk.

It takes a man to admit he's been wrong,
George.

Out of what Landry said, I just can't
believe you'd shoot me.

I can't believe that shootout was an
act, a plan.

That's what it was.

You were just going to count to three
and... Oh, in the final analysis, you

couldn't pull that trigger, Doc.

Could you?

I don't know.

Guess that's one thing neither of us
will ever know for sure.
