No one around.

Well, they won't find the camp neither.

I took pains to that, all right.

You know 'em?

Their kind, sonny, and that's enough.

Better let me bandage that up.

Hold up there.

Do you see 'em?

Hold this.

The lord's with us, son.

Know what this is?

Sure, that's a buffalo bone.

No way to Sunday.

This is 50 cents, Johnny.

Well now you heard of fertilizer ain't ya?

I pick 'em up, the government grinds 'em up.

That your living?

That's my living.

Hey, look what I got!

Woman, look at me.

Johnny, this here is my daughter Felicity.

How do you do?

Speak up girl, speak up.

How do?

I thought maybe you was killed or something.

Not yet by tarnation.

This here Yank chaser dished me up another try,

and I aim to reward him, Felicity.

You willing of course.

No Pa.

Listen reb...

My pa's got himself an obsession.

A what?

Oh you'll see.

Johnny?

You know what I got in here?

Gold, $200.

We saved every penny and put it right in here,

and it's all yours.

Mine?

This here's a hope chest, Johnny,

and this here's my daughter Felicity.

Turn around Felicity.

Pa.

Oh no I reckon she don't look like very much right now,

but she wasn't expecting a suitor, was you Felicity?

Mr. Bowman...

Oh but she's a good worker.

Now you just break her in right, and she'll jump.

Get the preacher, you get the keys.

Stop that!

Well now what's wrong with him, Felicity?

Same thing that was wrong with the one in Abilene, Pa,

and Denver and every place else!

I don't know him!

Mr. Bowman you've got yourself a fine looking daughter.

You don't have to buy her a husband.

Do I understand you to say you're refusing?

I just don't want to get married, that's all.

I'm, I'm sorry.

There's $200 in that chest there!

Now you saved my life and...

You don't have to pay me, Mr. Bowman,

unless you consider a good supper payment.

I figure you'll need my horse to pull that wagon to town.

Then I'll be on my way.

You're passing up a bargain.

What's the matter with you?

I just don't think anybody

has the right to sell a human life.

A man's a fool

who don't recognize a gift of thanks.

Maybe that depends on who gives it.

Ah you're a fool, reb.

Get supper, girl, and comb your hair!

Anything I can do?

Just stay away from me, reb, just leave me alone!

He doesn't mean all those things.

Oh yes he does.

You don't know what it's like.

He brags on the money and then some saddle trap shows up.

Like me?

Maybe I could talk some sense into him.

That's right reb, you cotton up to him.

He'll give you the money for sure

and me to boot.

I'm not interested in you, not one bit.

Is that clear?

Changing your mind, huh reb?

No sir.

That's clear.

Excuse me, I have to unsaddle.

It's your dowry, Felicity.

Now you can't say I ain't trying.

Why don't you just stop it for a while?

You folks always fight like this?

It's a miserable world when you

have to buy the love of your kin, reb.

Then maybe you ought to try another approach.

Nobody is asking you to stay, Johnny Yuma.

Look Mr. Bowman, you folks need my horse

to pull your wagon into town.

Otherwise I'd be just as happy to leave you flat.

Well you go.

You go on and go.

I made a mistake about you, reb.

I don't want you in no part of my family, no time!

The feeling's mutual.

Howdy.

What do you want?

Oh we just sort of lost our way

and saw your fire, and well it's a cold night, mister.

Mind if we share?

There are other places to camp.

Well that don't sound too friendly.

Maybe we got reason to be unfriendly.

Come on in.

There's plenty of room.

Thank you sir.

You folks traveling alone out here?

What's it to ya?

It's bad country.

Fella needs good friends in country like this.

That's right.

You fellas out of Bounty?

No, no I'm afraid not.

We're up in the panhandle.

My partner here got lucky.

We hit it lucky.

Struck it rich.

And struck it rich.

Struck it rich.

Got a big claim up on the load.

Got a big claim up on the load.

A big claim up on the load.

Yeah, is that so?

Hey, mind if I sit down?

- No, sit down. - Thank you.

Say that's an interesting

type of chest you got there, mister.

Wouldn't be for sale would it?

No it wouldn't.

Well maybe that depends on who's buying it.

How tall are you son?

- Tall? - Yes.

Can I talk to you?

Well, make yourselves at home.

Thank you.

Coffee.

Competition get you, don't it?

For a man that almost got himself shot to death

this morning you're either a fool or stone blind or both.

You think it was them huh?

Don't you trust nobody reb?

Now look, you offer your girl to that hard case

and I'll break you in half with my own hands, and I mean it.

- Oh now listen, Johnny. - There's nothing to listen.

She's an old maid.

You can't deny that, and I'm her pa.

Does it make any difference to you

that she just heard you?

Do you good, face up to things.

Coffee sir?

Well thanks.

Don't mind if I do.

Hey that's a mighty nice looking daughter you got there.

That's a fact, ain't it?

You know what Felicity means, Johnny?

Happiness.

Well we had a short crop this year.

I get so tired of living like this.

How old are you, Felicity?

You know what a poet says hope is?

He says, "Hope is a child."

Well I'm not a child anymore, Johnny.

I'm 25 going on 26.

That's old out here.

Pa's right, really.

Oh you should hear him talk.

How I'm gonna have a satin dress

and a white veil and the organ's gonna play.

My oh my.

Well, maybe I'm not pretty like some girls, Johnny.

I don't have any silky dresses or fancy shoes,

but even if I did who's gonna love me

with a nasty old man running around

acting like I ain't worth 50 cents?

Felicity you know the right man

isn't gonna care about silk dresses

or fancy shoes, or a dowry.

Well how am I gonna be sure?

Felicity you understand I can't marry you.

It's not because you're not pretty, because you are.

Thank you Johnny.

A lot of things I gotta do and see

before I get tied up to one person.

Well, I ain't asking you to marry me.

I don't even know you.

I've got my pride too, mister.

I'm sorry.

It just, it gets so lonesome here.

Gets lonely for me too.

For you too?

Johnny, could...

Could you...

It's been such a long time since

gentle lips touched me.

Is this the key to your heart?

What's wrong?

It's a key to the hope chest.

You didn't know that, did you Johnny?

Money's getting to you, huh reb?

Felicity.

That's true, ain't it?

Why don't you try having faith in someone just once?

You end up here with my daughter for pleasure, reb,

I'll have to shoot you down in cold blood I reckon.

I'm not interested in your daughter, Mr. Bowman.

Now now now now wait now.

You're still first choice.

That Mr. Burke over there,

he don't have nearly the character of you.

He's a drinker.

Now the way I see it, we can get a preacher

in Bannock in the morning,

and I'll take me off to old Mexico

and them dark haired senoritas.

What makes you think we'll live 'til morning?

Huh?

We'll live, all right.

I'm keeping my eyes on all of you.

Oh no offense intended, of course.

Thanks.

What are you doing Mr. Bowman?

Like I said, I'm taking no chances on any of you.

Why don't you go back and go to bed?

Come on, leave me be.

It's my money.

Now I've gotta dig a new hole, go away!

Drop it, reb.

The gun belt too, over there.

Little lady, suppose you'll give me that key.

It's all we got.

Now you stay back, mister.

The key.

Wait, now listen!

The money.

What did you do with the money?

I spent it.

You spent it?

No, no.

You don't understand.

No I don't.

I don't understand what kind of a man

would treat his daughter like you have,

without dignity or respect or love.

I'm ashamed to know you, Mr. Bowman.

I just hope now you'll leave your daughter alone.

Yes, I reckon I will.

I got to tell you, Felicity.

I can't keep it to myself no more.

When I was in that hospital last spring,

they said to me Ulysses, that's the lord God up there,

and he's staring you straight in the face

so you better settle things up, old man, and that's a fact.

But I looked around, and there

wasn't nothing to settle, Felicity, excepting you.

And for the first time in my life, I was scared.

I was scared to leave you alone.

That's why I tried so hard to find the right man.

Ah but there just wasn't time.

And I was selfish enough to want to force it to happen,

because I loved you.

That dowry was your future, Felicity.

How could you spend it?

Pa, I knew how much that hope chest meant to you.

That's why I didn't tell you.

Listen to me, Pa.

That wasn't a charity hospital like you thought.

You're all that matters to me.

Hey reb, ain't that something?

Ain't that something?

Yeah that's something.

All right Johnny.

Mr. Bowman.

I'm hereby authorized by the sheriff of Bannock

to give you a reward for the capture

of two mean, ornery desperadoes.

$85, how about that?

Well now, that seems like an awful piddling amount.

Can't buy much of a farm for that.

But it's a start, I guess.

Farm?

We're going away, Johnny.

We're moving into town.

No place for a girl out here, Johnny.

Now you know that.

You better take care.

I ain't meeting my maker yet, son, and that's a fact.
