Yiee!

Aah-ha!

Whoo-ee!

[ Cackling ]

Ha!

And I got $10...

says I can lick
any man in the house.

Step up, gents,
and try your luck.

Don't you think
you've had enough, Belden?

I never have enough.

Get over to the sheriff's
office. Tell Ryker I need him
before Belden wrecks this place.

Why doesn't somebody
take that big clown apart?

Because the big clown's
not easy to take apart.
Now get moving.

Aw, you can't have
no fun in town no more.

Nobody wants to fight.

Try that on for size.

Well, that fits just fine.

Check... and mate.

I thought I had you
that time.You almost did.

That's the best game
you've played.Yeah, but not good enough, huh?

Well, I've got 20 years on you.
Besides, how would it look
for a pupil to beat the teacher?

It'd look just fine to me.
I'm gonna nail you to the wall
this time.

Oh, I-- I don't think
I'll have time.Oh, relax.

You got 20 minutes yet.Relax?

This is one train
I don't intend to miss.

Emmett, Danny needs you
over at his place quick.

What's the trouble?Belden.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I forgot.
Today's the end of the month.

Well, you tell him I'll be--
I'll be over there.Thank you.

You can set a calendar
by Belden.

Who's Belden?He's a Shiloh hand.
He's a-- He's a nice fella.

Come payday, though,
he tries to drink the town dry.
[ Chuckles ]

Will he give you
any trouble?I know how to reason with him.

Look, uh, do you mind
if I go with you?Come ahead.

Tell me. When I moved my knight,
is that where I lost the game?[ Laughs ]

Like I say, there sure is
a lot of good-looking females
over at Dawson's.

Why don't you go over there
and give him a play?

You trying to tell me
I've used up
my welcome here, Danny?

No, no.
Nothing like that. I--

I just thought maybe
you'd like to-- like to try
something different, is all.

I want something different,
I'll go lookin' for it.

Yeah.

Don't you fret none
about that.

[ Liquid Pouring ]

[ Clears Throat ]

Well! Howdy, Emmett.

Hey, it's been a long time.

[ Chuckles ]
A month to the day, Belden.

See you've been having yourself
a few laughs here.

[ Clears Throat ]
Well, uh, you, uh--
you might say that.

Trouble is, I, uh--
I can't get nobody
to join in with me.

I'd say that mirror's
enough laughs for one day.

You want to press charges,
Danny?

Aw, heck, no.
Just let him pay the damages
and get him out of here.

You heard the man.

Oh, I heard him. I heard--
And I intend to pay
what I owe.

But, uh, I, uh--
I also intend to leave
when I'm ready.

Unless, of course, you got
a different notion, Emmett.

[ Chuckles ]
I'm afraid I have, Belden.

Tell me all about it.

Hold this for me,
will you, John?

[ Chuckles ]

This time, I'm the one
who walks out of here.

[ Sniffs, Chuckles ]

[ Grunts ]

- What do you figure he owes?
- Twenty dollars
should cover it.

See that he gets back to Shiloh
all right, will you, Danny?Sure will.

Oh, and, uh, tell him
he still drops his shoulder
when he starts to throw a punch.

You handled that nice,
Emmett. Real nice.

[ Train Whistle Blowing ]

You've got a little chore
of your own to handle.
Time you got on it.

Will you do me a favor,
Emmett?Yeah, you got it.

Go to the station
with me?

A time like this,
I figured you'd
want to be alone.

Yeah, well, I--
I don't.

How about it?Let's go.

Huh? Oh.
[ Groans ]

He did it again?

I dropped my shoulder.

You think I'd learn,
wouldn't you?

See you next month,
Danny.

Stop worrying.

A man lives long enough,
he's bound to get in
the same fix you are.

I'll try
to remember that.

What do I do?
What do I--
What do I say?

Just act natural.
You start off
by saying hello.

[ Train Bell Clanging ]Then what?

Uh, you'll think
of something.That's a big help.

[ Whistle Blowing ]Anytime.

[ Horse Nickers ]

Right on time.

[ Nickering ]

[ Brakes Squealing ]

How do I look?Never looked better.

That's not what I asked.

No.

There she is.

Come on.

Hello, Rita.

Is that the way
you greet the woman
you've asked to marry you?

That's better.

You look beautiful.

Let's not overdo it.

Three days and nights
on a train...

don't do much
to improve a lady's looks.

You have to be Emmett Ryker.[ Chuckles ]

Why do I have to be?Because of the many things
John has said about you--

nice things,
I might add.

And you have to be Rita Bowlin
for the same reasons.

Well, I guess
that takes care of
the introductions, huh?

I made a reservation
for you at the hotel.

Oh, one of my bags got lost.
I had it when I got on
the train,

but then, after one of
the stops, it was missing.

Did you report it?I-I told the conductor.

Well, I'll follow through on it.
You two go ahead.

Thanks. I would like
to freshen up and change
into some clean clothes.

Take all the time
you want.

We can have dinner later
and... talk then, huh?

I'd like you to join us,
Emmett.Uh, well, I-I-- I don't know.

This is your
first evening together.

Oh, John and I'll have
many evenings together.

- Please?
- [ Chuckles ]
It'd be my pleasure.

Then it's settled.
I'll see you later.

Okay.

[ Door Closes ][ Exhales ]

[ Dings ]

You know, I still
can't believe it.Can't believe what?

Well, that you're
really here.I told you I was coming.

I know, but I kept thinking,
"Oh, she'll change her mind
at the last minute,

or she'll meet
somebody else." [ Footsteps On Stairs ]

Hello, Mr. Conway.Paul, this is
Miss Bowlin.

Glad to meet you, Miss Bowlin.
We've been expecting you.

If you'll just sign
the register, please.Everything in order?

Yes, sir.
Suite 1A.Good.

I'll be back later.
You get a good rest
before dinner.

All right, John.

[ Clopping Hooves ]

What are you all dressed up for?I'm having supper with Conway
and his bride to be.

I just wanted to let you
know where I was going.Oh, hey.

This is for you.
Came on the evening stage.

From Leavenworth,
Kansas, huh?

Who do I know
from there?

Well, open it up and find out.
[ Chuckles ]

Yeah.

You got your answer?

Yeah.

[ Exhales ]
You know them?

Who are they?

The Gar brothers.
They worked the Kansas-Missouri
territory a few years back.

This is the way
the one in the middle
ended up.

Hmm. What does this
have to do with you?

I put him there.

The other two surrendered.
They went to prison
for three years.

This note came
with the pictures.

When did all this happen?

Ah, a little over
three years ago.

Then they've
served their time.

That's right.

- What do you think?
- I think...

I move real careful
from here on out.

See you after a while.

[ Galloping Hooves ]

I hope you don't mind
my bringing a bottle over.

I thought Emmett and I
might have a drink before
we went down to supper.

Of course I don't mind.

Well, welcome
to Medicine Bow.

Thank you.

[ Exhales ]
You like the rooms?

I should.
They're the best
in the hotel.

How do you know?The manager told me.

[ Chuckles ]
You shouldn't have gone
to all this expense.

Well, I wanted to.You're gonna spoil me--

sending me money
to buy clothes, taking
the best suite in the hotel.

I enjoy it.

I never had anyone I could
spend money on before.

Oh, I find that
hard to believe.

Oh, I don't mean
I haven't known
any other women, but...

I was beginning
to feel I'd never
find anyone like you.

I mean someone I--

I wanted to spend
the rest of my life with.

You're not sorry,
are you, Rita?

I mean,
about coming here.

No, John. I'm not sorry.

[ Knocking ]

Oh, uh, hello, Emmett.Hello, John.

Miss Bowlin.
I'm sorry I'm late. I--

That's all right.
Have a drink?Fine.

He said he'd let us know
if he turns up anything.That's fine.

Here you are.Thank you.

Uh, welcome
to Medicine Bow.[ Chuckles ]

Great minds run
in the same channels.
I just made the same toast.

Oh! Well, it wasn't
a very original thought.

John was telling me
about the fight in the saloon
before I arrived.

You must lead
quite a dangerous life.

His is tougher. He has to
deal with the housewives.
[ Chuckles ]

All I have to do is quiet
an occasional drunk...

and see that the children
don't play hooky
from school too often.

When we have a family,
at least we'll know our children
won't be getting into trouble.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, if you gentlemen
have finished your drinks--

Oh.Yeah.

You must be starved.

The dining room here isn't
exactly like the Grand Hotel
in San Francisco,

but at least
it's filling.[ Laughs ]

John, you were wrong.
The dinner was excellent.

Well, I guess
it's like the town--

plain but dependable.

This is your first time in
this part of the country?Yes.

Maybe I built it up
too much.

I was so anxious to have
her say yes, I... could have
gone a little overboard.

Oh, I don't believe that.
John here is a very
conservative man.

Well, I don't know
about that, but...

I do know
I'm the luckiest
and the happiest.

Well, I'm afraid
I've got to get back.

You sure you don't
want some dessert?Oh, I couldn't eat another bite.

Well, then--

You're getting a good man,
Miss Bowlin. Just don't
ever play chess with him.

I'll remember that.Thanks for the dinner,
John. Good night.

Good night, Emmett.

I'll see you
to your room, huh?

[ Murmurs ]

What did you
think of Ryker?He seems very nice.

I knew you'd like him.You want me to,
don't you?

I want you to be happy,
and I think you will.

It's a nice town.

Not as exciting
as San Francisco, but--I don't want excitement.

I guess all you want now
is about 10 hours' sleep,
huh?

Oh. Make it 12.

[ Key Turns ]

Rita,

I know this must
be a strain for you,

coming all this way
to marry a man
you hardly know.

But I want you to know
I meant what I said downstairs--

every word of it.

I know you did.

And I thank you for saying it.

Good night.

Good night.The, uh,

store's closed tomorrow,
so...

I'll pick you up about noon,
if that's not too early.

There's something
I want to show you.

That'll be fine.

Have a good sleep.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Thuds ] If you were up
against a gunhand,

you'd be right in the dirt
next to it.

How long you been
workin' with that?

Oh, not too long.
I got it a while back.

I wanted to see
what I could do.

You come out here
by yourself to practice?

I didn't want anybody
to see how bad I was.

And of all people,
you have to be the one
that catches me.

Yeah, well, I had some business
at the Stevens outfit,

and I happened to hear you fire
as I was going back into town.

Well, as long as you know,
maybe you can give me
some advice, huh?

Best advice I know is to...

put the whole rig
in the bottom of your trunk
and forget about it.

Why?
No harm in shooting at a target
nailed to a tree, is there?

No, if that's
all the far it goes.

It won't go any farther.
You can count on that.

Now, how about it?
Where'd I--

Where'd I go wrong?

No. The less you know,
the better.

That's not what I said to you
when you asked me to teach you
how to play chess, was it?

Those are two different kinds
of games, John.

You lose playing with that,
it'd cost you more than a dime.

But look, I have
no intention of using it
except on those targets.

Now watch me, huh?

Tell me what I do wrong.

- [ Thuds ]
- First thing you did wrong
was drop the gun.

How do you-- How do you
get it out so fast?

Well, there's a difference
between being fast
and being in a hurry.

See, you're in a hurry.Well, it's the same thing,
isn't it?

Oh, no. Thinking that's
your second mistake.

Come on. Let's go back to town.
You got a girl waitin'
for you back there.

Yeah, well, she said
she wanted to sleep late today.

Look, Emmett. Let me--

Let me see you do it.

[ Gunshots ]

You owe me
three bullets.

Let me--
Let me try it once, huh?Take it easy. Take it easy.

Now, get a good
grip on it.

That's better.Yeah, but it, uh,
comes out so slow.

That's all right. The tree--
tree won't outdraw you.

[ Chuckles ]
What do I-- What do
I do when I fire it?

Well, let's see.
Now, when you aim, you try
to think of the barrel...

as your finger, see,
and you're pointing it.

[ Gunshots ]

Must have
a crooked finger.[ Chuckles ]

The target looks so big
when you're lookin' at it,
and then...

it's mighty small
when you shoot at it.

It's even smaller if it starts
shooting back at you.

Look, the lesson's over.
I got to get back into town.

Well, wait. I'll--
I'll ride with you.

What'd you think of Rita?

She's a beautiful woman.

Beautiful,

poised, intelligent.

Eh, a complete woman.Hmm.

Where'd you two meet up?In a hospital
in San Francisco.

She was sharing a room
with the wife
of a friend of mine.

She introduced us.

I remember thinking
when I first saw her that...

she was the most beautiful woman
I'd ever seen.

We talked.
I don't even remember
what I said. I--

I must have rambled on
like a schoolboy.

[ Laughs ]
She must have liked it.

Yeah. When she was released
from the hospital, I asked her
to have dinner with me.

She accepted.
[ Exhales ]

We saw each other
every day after that.

The night I left, I--
I asked her to marry me.

I don't know why, Emmett,
but she accepted.

What do you mean
you don't know why?

[ Chuckles ]
Look, I don't try to kid myself.

- I know I'm no answer
to a maiden's prayer.
- Now don't run yourself down.

Now, don't make
excuses for this face.

Remember, I've known it
a lot longer than you have.

Kind of a face people stick
the label "what's-his-name" to.
I'm used to it.

She remembered. Yeah, I guess she did.

Rita Bowlin's
the most important thing
that ever happened to me.

Like I said, I don't know why
she's agreed to marry me.
I don't want to know.

I'm just grateful
that she has.

Come on. Let's--
Let's get out of here, huh?

[ Blustering ]

[ John ]
Well, there it is.

What do you think?

Why, it's lovely,
all of it.
Does it belong to you?

No, but it's for sale.

I wanted you to see it
before I made an offer.

I hadn't given it
much thought
where we'd live.

Well, I--
I never owned a home before.

I always lived in hotels
or in a room
in the back of my store.

I think I'd
kind of like it here.

Want to take
a closer look?

All right.

The Anderses moved out
about three months ago.
Well, they kept it real nice.

A coat of paint inside and out,
it'll be just like new.

Shall we go inside?

I know it doesn't
look like much, but...

with some furniture,
I think it would.

What do you think?

I think it's a home
that should never be alone.

Go ahead.
Look around.

[ Laughs ]
The Anderses had four children.

I guess they figured
that was enough.
They left this one behind.

Here. Our first piece
of furniture.

I'll let you decide
where it goes.

Get that thing away from me!

Rita--
[ Scoffs ]
I only meant it as a joke.

I don't think much
of your sense of humor.

I've seen enough
of this place.Rita!

Look, if I said anything
to offend you, I-I'm sorry.

John, it's-it's
not your fault.
It-It's me. I--

I'm still rather tired
from the trip.

Would you mind if we
went back into town now?

Of course not.

Look, uh--

What about the house?

Do you want me to go ahead
and see about buying it?Why don't we wait?

We'll have plenty of time
to decide where we're going
to live after we're married.

For now, I-I'm content
to stay at the hotel.

Oh. If that'll
make you happy.

It will.

Hi.

Everything all right
out at the Stevens place?

Yeah. They found the cattle
they thought were rustled--
down in a draw somewhere.

When'd this come?I don't know.

It was on your desk
when I got here.

Good news?[ Scoffs ]

I've got to go
over to Gloversville...

to testify against
that Fowler fellow
we picked up last month.

Oh, yeah.Unless you'd like
to take my place.

Oh, I can't.
I gotta be best man
at a wedding.

Oh, Conway, huh?Yeah.

When's it gonna be?I don't know yet.

Well, have a good trip.

[ Door Opens,
Closes ]

Gloversville.

Hello.

Oh.This a private party here,
or is anyone invited?

Sit down.
Have a drink.Hmm. Danny?

Saw your, uh,
buckboard outside.

Kind of early for you
to be in here, isn't it?

Ah, I didn't feel like
going back to the store.

You think man will
ever understand woman?

[ Chuckles ]

Well, if he does, it might
take all the fun out of it.

A lot of misery
can be mixed in with that fun.

You take Rita
for that drive?

Yeah. I just left her
at the hotel.Ah.

Did you go by
the Anders place
like you said you were?

Yeah, I took her by.

What'd she think?

[ Scoffs ]
I don't know.

She loved it at first, I know.
I-I mean, I could tell.

And then she--
Well, she just went cold.

I've never seen her
like that.

All she wanted to do
was get away from the place.

Well, a lot of things happening
to her all of a sudden.
Yeah, uh--

She might... need a little
more time to get used to it all.

[ Smacks Lips ]
I hope you're right, Emmett.

Sure hope you're right.

You two set a date
for the wedding yet?

No.

I wanted to have it
next Sunday, but...

now I don't know.

Have you talked
with her about it?

No.It might help
if you do.

And when you do,
I'll bet, uh--

I bet you all the problems
will take care of themselves.

Well, I'll-- I'll have a talk
with her this evening.

Good. Good.

Well, now that
that's settled,
I'll get back to work.

[ Clatters ]

Well, there he is,
Dink-- our old buddy.

It sure enough is.
He ain't changed a bit,
has he, Will?

Say what you have to
from there.

Well, that's no way
to talk, Emmett.

We came a week's travel
out of our way
just to see you.

You're seeing me.
Now what?

It's empty.
Take a look-see.

[ Clicking ]

You know who
that belongs to?

Mark.

You remember him,
don't you? He should.

A man should
always remember
who he guns down.

Mark never got this
clear of the leather
before you nailed him.

It didn't have
to be that way.

Of course it didn't.

Dink and I
both know that.

Mark should have
given himself up
like we did.

Done his time
like we did.

Yeah. We done our time,
all right.

Now we're free
to go anyplace we want.

Just where do you
plan on going?

Well, that's,
uh, hard to say.

But we're in no hurry...

for anything.

We plan to take
our time and...

enjoy ourselves...

before we make
a decision.

I hope you make
the right one.

We will, Emmett.
We surely will.

And, uh,

you'll know about it.

Well, sorry
to interrupt.

Enjoy your drinks.

What was that all about?

That was a reminder.

About what?

[ Glass Slams ]The fact they intend to kill me.

Kill you?

- You can't be serious.
- I never joke about
getting killed.

Well, why don't
you arrest them,
throw them in jail?

For what?
They didn't threaten.

They didn't do
or say anything I could
throw 'em in jail for.

They're
law-abiding citizens...

just like everyone else
in this town.

Until they get a chance
to put a bullet in your back.

I'm gonna try not to let 'em
get that chance.

I gotta go.

Emmett.

Is there anything I can do?
Anything at all?

It's my problem.

I'll handle it.

Those two are the kinda targets
that shoot back at you.

I'll talk
with you later.

Afternoon, Charlie.Hello, Emmett.
What can I do for you?

Well, you can tell me
if that suitcase
of Miss Bowlin's got in.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Got put off
at Wilson's Junction
by mistake.

I was gonna take it
over to her as soon
as I had a chance.

Heavy for an old man
with a bad back.

When did you
hurt your back?

When I saw
this suitcase.[ Chuckles ]

All right.
Yeah, I think
I got your point.

Thanks, Emmett.
You're a fine man.

[ Banging ]

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Bell Dings ]

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Rita, Lethargically ]
What do you want?

It's Emmett Ryker.
I have your suitcase.

[ Lock Turns ]

Well, hello, Mr. Ryker.

Come on in.

Where do you
want this?

Set it down anywhere.

Care for a drink?No, I-- No, thank you.

[ Scoffs ]
Not much point to it,
is there?

It's a little late
trying to fool anybody,
so I won't try.

Icare for a drink.

You see--
[ Clears Throat ]
I have a slight problem.

Will that help solve it?This?
[ Scoffs ]

This is my problem.

No, it's only a way to forget it
for a little while.

Oh, you run all
the "little whiles" together,
and you've got forever.

So, you see-- [ Clears Throat ]
this creates problems
and solves them.

Yeah.
Well, I have to go.Go where?

Run and tell John?
[ Chuckles ]
That should make a good story.

I don't run to anybody
with stories, Miss Bowlin.

In time,
he'll find out
for himself.

If he--
Uh, when he does,

he can be assured
I will not embarrass him
in public.

I shall confine my problem
behind closed doors.

Well, that--
that should please him.

Whether it does or doesn't
is none of your business.

I know that.

But John Conway
is a fine man.

I wouldn't like
to see him torn apart.

You think I could
do that to him?

I know he loves you.

And a man like John...

loves only once,
and if this turns bad--

You may be his best friend,
but you're nothing to me,
so don't preach.

Now get out of here
and leave me alone.

[ Door Closes ]

Evening, Paul.Evening.

Miss Bowlin
in her room?

I guess so.
The key's out.
Good.

[ Laughs ][ Chuckles ]
Thanks.

[ Rita ]
Go away.

Rita, it's me.

Open the door.

No. Go away.

Rita, I have
to talk to you.

Rita? Go away! Go away!
Leave me alone!

Good morning, John.
Fine day.

Yeah, I guess so.
Where you off to?

Out to the Williams place.
He's had some stock run off
I have to check on.

Tell him that shipment of
bailing wire got in. He can
pick it up anytime he wants.

You have that talk
with Rita yet?

Well, she wasn't feeling
too well last night.

Those two fellas
still in town?I suppose so.

When do you think
they'll make their move?

Hard to say.

Will is a--
He's a careful man.

He'll wait until
he's holding a pat hand.

Must be something
you can do about them.

There is.
I try to hold a better hand.

I still think you need help.
Why don't you let me--

John, some men take easy
to a gun, and, uh--

Well, others don't.

- Well, what I'm
trying to say is--
- I'm the kind that doesn't.

Yeah, that's about it, I guess.
That's why I don't even like
to see you shooting at a tree.

What's the harm in that?

Because someday
you might come to think
you canhandle a gun.

Boot hill's full of men
that got the same idea.

Thanks anyway.

Watch yourself.

[ Objects Clattering ]

Good morning.
Well, this--

This is a surprise.

John, about last night--

Look, Rita, you--

you don't have to
explain anything to me.

You wanted to be alone.
I can understand that.

I mean, lots of times
I don't want people
bothering me either.

You weren't bothering me.

It's just that I wa--
I was ill.

Are you all right now?I'm fine.

So much so I thought
you might like to take me
for a walk and show me the town.

Rita, any other time,
I'd close up shop
and just take off, but--

Well, I just got a new shipment
in. Folks'll be coming by
for their orders.

I mean, they'd
climb all over me
if I wasn't here.

Good morning, Mr. Conway.

Ma sent me to pick up that
bolt of cloth she ordered.

See what I mean?
All right, young lady.
I have it right here.

Hello.

Here you are, Lori-Ann.
Now, is there anything
else you'd like?

I have a penny
to spend on myself.Oh?

Well, a penny buys
anything in these jars.

Take your time
in deciding.

- You decided yet?
- Do you have any perfume?

The kind she's wearing.

- [ John ] What?
- I mean, she smells
so clean and nice.

I wondered if you
had some like it that
I could buy for a penny.

I'm afraid not.

But as soon as we do,
I'll let you know, huh?

Here.

This ought to hold you
in the meantime.

No, you keep your penny
till next time, huh?

Thank you. Bye. Bye.

Kids can say
the darndest things
sometimes.

But you know,
she's right...

about the perfume.

[ Laughs ]
Well, I'll leave you
to your work.

Rita. When are we
going to be married?

I mean, there's no reason
to put it off, is there?

No. No reason.

Whenever you decide
is fine with me.

How about Sunday?

All right.

I love you, Rita.

I guess there's fancier ways
of saying it, but...

I don't know any.

Dinner, 7:00?

7:00.

[ Galloping Hooves ]

What was that for?I thought you
were in trouble.

I've handled horses before.
I had him under control.

Do you always drive
a buggy that fast?

I felt like it.
Anything wrong with that?

Road's pretty bumpy along here.
You could bust a wheel, or--

Besides, whatever's
troubling you, there's no need
to take it out on a horse.

You seem to know
a lot about women.

Not all women, just some.

You finish your ride,
you better walk him out
on your way back to the stable.

I'm finished now.

All right. You turn around
up the road there.
I'll ride back with you.

- Afraid I'll run him again?
- No, I was going back
to town anyway.

You don't think
much of me, do you?

Go on. Say it.
You don't like
me one little bit.

I don't like or dislike you.
I have no respect
for what you're doing.

-And just what am I doing?
-You're using John Conway the
same way you're using a bottle.

- Suppose I am.
- Well, he deserves
better than that.

I'm not all that bad,
Mr. Ryker.

If I am using John,
I'll also give back.

- I'll try to make him
a good wife.
- Try?

You have to
do more than try.

You've got to be able
to have feelings for this man
You have to be able to... love.

I don't think you can.

[ Thunderclaps ]

Building up a storm.

We'd better start
back to town.

See you later.

Hello, Ryker.
Nice job you got here.

Yeah. Sure is.

A man as well-settled down
as you are...

has got more to lose than
if he was a mangy drifter.

I won't lose you with words,
and that's all
I've heard so far.

That could change.
You think about that?

All right.
I've had a bellyful
of you two.

If I find either of you
in town tomorrow, I'm gonna
make some changes myself.

Now you think about that.

He don't talk loose, Will.
When do we take him?

Tonight.

Here you are, Sarah.

Well.

Have you been
taking in the sights?Oh, I-- I went for a drive.

[ Thunderclap ]

What's the matter?These storms--
I hate them.

Well, don't let
the ranchers hear you
talk like that.

Rain is a matter
of life and death
with them.

Look, I'm-- I'm almost
finished for the day.

I'll close up the store,
and I'll walk you back
to the hotel, huh?

[ Thunderclap ]

No, please.
Let it go away.

Let it go away.

It's all right, Rita.
It's only a storm.

It'll-It'll be over soon.Can we stay here
for a few minutes?

You can stay as long
as you like.

I-I'll be all right.

Reverend Blake
came by today.

I told him about us.

He seems to think
the Anders house is a good buy--

especially for later when--

when we have a family.

John, it's time
you knew about me.

When you do, you--
you may change your mind.

I won't change.

And you don't have
to tell me a thing.

I want to,
and I want you to listen.

Do you know why I was in
that hospital in San Francisco?

You said it was because you...
fell and struck your head.

That's right.

But the reason I fell was
because I couldn't stand up.

I was too drunk to stand up.

Six years ago, I was married
to a man I loved deeply,

and we had
two beautiful children.

It was on a holiday.

We were out sailing.

A storm like this
came up suddenly, and...

somehow the boat overturned.

I saw Bonnie, my youngest,
trying to swim.

She cried out to me for help.

I tried. Dear God, I tried.

But I was too late.

I don't know how I managed
to reach the shore,

but when I did, I was alone.

For six long years,
I was alone.

When you found me,
I was at the bottom--
no place to go.

I was broke, and I was tired.

And you were my way out.

I don't care.

We can find
a life together--

a life with meaning and purpose.

I can't give you that.

I don't want it ever again.

It'll be a marriage
without love...

and without children.

If you still want
to go through with it,

you can tell me
this evening.

[ Door Closes ]

All set?Let's go.

Um-- I-I beg
your pardon.

Hmm? Oh.

Good evening, Miss Bowlin.
Forget your key?

What time is the train
for San Francisco due in?

Uh, it's due in 20 minutes.

I-I want to check out,
if you'll make up my bill.

Mr. Conway said
he'd take care of it.

I thought you were gonna
stay here a while.The plans have been changed.

You'll find my other suitcase
in my room. Please give it
to Mr. Conway tomorrow.

Do you want him
to forward it to you?

No.

[ Door Opens ]

Let's get him.

Oh. Excuse me.Where you think
you're going?

I've got to get
to the hotel.He's Ryker's friend.

Yeah, I know it.Look,
what's this all--

Get inside.Wait a minute.
First I--

Shut up
and unlock the door.

Look, if this is a robbery,
there's nothing in here worth--Look, mister,

we want to rob anything,
we can do better.

You saw us coming,
didn't you?

Thought you were
gonna warn him?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Maybe you do now.

If you're after Ryker,
you'll never get away
with it.

Everybody in the saloon
heard you threaten him.First, they gotta find us.

What do we do with him,
Will?

We fix it...

so he don't
get any ideas.

That'll do it.

We lost him.

We'll find him.

Take the other side
of the street.

[ Footsteps ]

I thought--What?

Never mind.Does he know?

Please, leave me alone.What changed things?

You were right.
He deserves more than
I was prepared to give him.

Where will you go?

As far west
as $36 will take me.

Look, maybe I was rough
on you out there today.

- Why don't you just--
- I'm not leaving
because of what you said.

Just helped bring it out
in the open.

Maybe you--
You told him?

I told him
I didn't love him,

that I wouldn't
have children.

I also told him I'd marry him
if he still wanted me to.

You heard me coming and you--
you turned around.

You were hoping it was him,
weren't you?

I don't know
what I was hoping.

I'm not sure
about anything anymore.

- All I know is it's over.
- Maybe if I talked to him.

I thought you didn't think it
was right for me to marry him.

That was this afternoon.

What changed your mind?

The look on your face
a minute ago...

when you thought
he'd come after you.

Thanks.
It's still too late.

Maybe it isn't.

[ Gunshot ]Get down!

[ Gunshots Continue ]

Where are you going?I want to see what's
going on down there!

Never mind what's going on
down there. It's no business
of yours, Frank.

Now you get
back in here!

[ Glass Shatters ]

Will!

Your fight isn't
with the woman!

Let her get clear!

Send her on out.

You go ahead.
You'll be all right.

What about you?Don't worry about me.

Just get going before
they start shooting again.

She's coming out now!

[ Rifle Cocks ]

[ Footsteps Running ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Groans ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ]

What chance does
Emmett have where he is?There's two of them.

One's over
across the tracks.

No, John! You can't!Look, you--

You stay there.

[ Clicks ]

John, get back!

How bad?I'd say about
three weeks in bed.

Time enough for me to win
one game of chess from you.

I tried to do it
the way you said.You did fine.

You know something?What?

I was scared stiff.[ Laughs ]
So was I!

John!He'll be all right.
I'll get the doc.

You foolish, foolish man!
They could have killed you!

Maybe I need somebody
to look after me--

see that it never
happens again.

I was on my way
to see you when I--

when I ran into them.

You were coming
to see me?

When I got over feeling
sorry for myself, I--

I realized you
could have gone ahead
with the marriage,

gotten the security
you wanted, then--

then told me
how you felt.

I figured a woman
that honest--

she needs somebody
to take care of her.

It'll be more than that.

I knew it when I was waiting
for the train and I thought
I'd never see you again.

Where's that doctor?

Who needs a doctor?

I never felt better
in my life.
