All language subtitles for The Virginian S07E13 - Big Tiny

Come in. You wanted to see me?

Yeah. Got this announcement
in the mail.

They're gonna have a
Galloway bull auction in Durango.

And I'd sure like to have
a couple of Galloway bulls.

They don't come cheap.

I may have to settle for one.

You're really serious
about this.

Why? Don't you think
it's a good idea?

It's always a good idea
to upgrade your stock, but...

just thought it might squeeze
you a little bit this time of year.

Well, it'll hurt a little,

but I think I can stand the
pain for an investment like that.

Want to make the trip
to Durango?

I'd rather not leave
the ranch right now.

Some of those new hands we hired
aren't the greatest.

I'd like to stick around and
keep an eye on 'em. Mmm.

What about Trampas?
Think he could handle it?

Trampas is as good a judge of livestock
as anyone I know, if that's what you mean.

Well, that's part
of what I mean.

He'll be on his own as far
as the bidding is concerned.

I'll give him a ceiling, but
below that it'll be up to him...

how much of my money he spends.

And I've heard it
whispered around...

that Trampas can be
a little careless with money.

Only his own.

All right then, Trampas it is.

You know what? It might be a good
idea to send somebody else along with him.

In case they can't get freight space
on the train, have to drive the bull back,

it'd be safer
to have two men along.

Who do you suggest?
How about Dave Sutton?

You think he's had
experience enough?

No, but this is
one way to get it.

On my payroll.

Ah, he won't get in any
trouble. You know that.

He might even be a good
influence on Trampas. Or vice versa.

I wouldn't worry about that.

You know what the boys say
about him... Dependable Dave.

Yeah. Oh, here.

You can take this back with
you. I've finished with it. Thanks.

Come in.

Cook said you wanted to see
me. Yeah. Where's Trampas?

Yo. Come on in
and shut the door.

It was an accident.
What was an accident?

Uh, whatever we're on
the carpet for.

They're auctioning off some
Galloway bulls in Durango next week.

Mr. Grainger wants
you to go down, take a

look at 'em and bid on
'em if they look good.

Galloway bulls?
Can't do better than that.

There's a train out of here
tonight. Think you can make it?

- Sure.
- Dave?

You bet. But what's
he need me for?

You may not be able to get freight
space back for 'em this time of year.

If he has to drive 'em
back, he'll need an extra hand.

Hey, that's great.

Yeah. I've never
been to Durango.

I have.

You didn't like it?

All I remember about it is I was trying
to fill an inside straight and missed.

Full month's pay.

You better start packing. Check
with Mr. Grainger before you go.

Yo. And Trampas.

This is a business trip.

Well, come on, old buddy. We don't
want to keep the dancing girls waiting.

Durango.

Come on, Trampas. Make up
your mind. I'd love to get some sleep.

Don't rush me. We've been playing
ever since we left Medicine Bow.

All right. I'll call.

Full house. Ah. One
more hand. Come on.

Look, Trampas... You can't
quit while you're ahead like that.

It's not fair. But we're
only playing for matches.

I'll get you a whole box of matches
if you'll just let me get some sleep.

It's not the matches. It's the
principle of the thing. Come on.

One more hand. Showdown.

Here. Your deal. Deal.
All right, one hand. That's it.

You know, it's funny.
I... I can't sleep on a train.

Why don't you try
closing your eyes?

Very funny. Very funny.

I got four cards. Oh.

Hmm.

One. One.

How many? Two.

Two.

I'll take none. None?

All right.

I bet a hundred. But
you haven't got a hundred.

I'm light 95.

Call. Huh?

Three aces. You win.

That's more like it.

All right. Thanks, Dave.

I think I'll get some sleep
now. Good night. Good night.

I'm wide awake now.

Yeah.

Well, what do you think
of the big city?

Uh, doesn't look much different
from Medicine Bow.

Don't let the natives
hear you say that.

They think they got
a real live town here.

Uh, why don't you check us into the hotel
while I go see the man about the money.

All right.

And David. Huh?

Don't get lost.

♪♪

You look pretty this morning,
Martha, for a spinster.

Isn't it a little early for that,
Mrs. Lacey? Not at your age.

You sound as if I was ready
to join your sewing circle.

I'll take it up
with the membership.

Ma, when are you going
to stop this?

Right after
the weddin' ceremony.

Oh. Somebody would think
I don't want to be married.

You do need a man, you know.

Well, there's more of them
than there is of us.

Oh, I don't mean just any man.

And I can't stand here discussing
it with you or I'll be late for work.

My gloves!

Oh. I see you found
them. Your gloves.

Oh. Oh, yes.

Well, good-bye.

Bye, miss.

Well, don't just stand
there, Henry. Do something.

What do you suggest?

Looks like you got trouble.

I lost the cotter pin.

I could get one at the general
store, but gettin' this wheel on...

Excuse me, ma'am.

Want to set that wheel straight?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Never seen anything
like that in my life.

Pleasure to be of help.

We thank you.

Much obliged.

Don't forget that
cotter pin. Thank you.

Oh! I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Did I hurt you?
No. No, I'm fine.

Are you sure you're all
right? Yes. Yes, I'm fine.

Is there anything I
can do? No, really.

Would you just stand there?

Just... stand here.

I'd be ever so grateful.

I'm Martha Carson.

Glad to meet you.
I'm David Sutton.

Oh! I'm glad to know you.

I feel like I'm playing
Going to Jerusalem.

Believe me, I'm not playing.

Would you mind telling me
what you are doin'?

You're a stranger
in Durango, aren't you?

Least we've established something.
I'm from Medicine Bow in Wyoming.

- Then you're just visiting.
- If it's all right with you.

Well, it might be if, uh...

Let me see.

I washed 'em just before
I got off the train.

- Oh. That's not it at all, Mr...
- Sutton.

Mr. Sutton.
I was only wondering...

You're not wearing a wedding
ring. Most bachelors don't.

- Are you engaged?
- Are you taking a census?

Please, this is
terribly important.

I am not engaged.

Will you be? To me?

Just for a little while.

Just until you leave.

- Miss, uh...
- Carson.

Miss Carson, I may look as if
I'm from the country, but...

Not in the slightest,
I assure you.

Good. Then if you'll excuse me.

No! You can't go yet.

Miss Carson,

it's not in my nature
to be rude to a lady,

and I do thank you for
your very flattering offer...

- But you said you'd do anything.
- I said, "Is there anything I can do?"

Yes, there is. Be my fiancé.

Now you're starting that again.
But you wouldn't have to do anything.

Just say that you are.

Don't you think this
has gone far enough?

That's what I keep trying to
tell him, but he won't listen. He...

Don't you understand?

I need you for protection.

Is someone threatening you?

Oh, it's more than a threat.

He keeps saying he's going
to marry me. And I say no. No!

And he goes away. And then
he comes back, like a full moon.

A full moon?

You know what I mean.
He keeps showing up.

He... He's back now.

He's right over there.

If... If I tell him I'm engaged,

then he'll have to go away...
forever.

Just until I leave? Oh!

I'll never be able to thank you.

You're the kindest man
in the world.

I... I have to hurry now.

Now wait. How do we work this?

I live at Ma Lacey's
on Elm Street.

Meet me there at 5:00
and I'll tell you. No, 6:00.

- Make it 6:00, Mr...
- Sutton!

Sit down, Mr. Trampas.
Thank you.

Well, Mr. Grainger
has authorized a draft,

on the First National
of Medicine Bow, up to $5,000.

- That's it.
- To be drawn at your discretion.

Well, we might not need all of it. I'm
here for the Galloway bulls auction.

I'm at your service, sir.

I'll need your signature...

Oh, excuse me.
Good morning, Martha.

I'm sorry I'm late,
Mr. Burnside. Perfectly all right.

Now, if you'll just give me
a minute to fill out this draft.

Morning.

I'm back, Martha. So I see.

I was just looking at a dress that
you ought to have for your trousseau.

My trousseau is none
of your affair.

Well, a girl can't get married
without a trousseau.

I'm aware of that.

I keep forgettin'
how pretty you are.

If you go away right this
minute, I'll send you a picture.

Oh, no. The only picture
I want's our wedding picture.

I'm not going
to marry you... ever.

Isn't that kind of
a foolish way to feel?

Here I am with a good ranch
I bought just for us...

and a house just waitin' for you
to make it a honeymoon cottage.

And here are you, alone
in the world... Not anymore.

- Needing a man to look after you.
- I've got a man.

Somebody who'll take good
care of you... What did you say?

I'm engaged.

You mean to somebody else?

That's right. How can you be?

Doesn't he know about us?

There's nothing to know
about us.

But we're gonna be married.

No. My fiancé and I...

are going to be married.

Good morning, Mrs. Mauder.
Good morning, Martha.

Morning, ma'am. Good morning.

Who is this poacher?
He's a fine gentleman.

And now, if you'll excuse me,
there's someone waiting.

Beg pardon, ma'am, but
this little girl's happiness...

is the most important thing
in the world to me.

That's quite all right. I'm in
no hurry. Thank you, ma'am.

Do I know him?

I doubt it. He's new in town.

In that case, you haven't
known him very long.

Well, it was love
at first sight.

He swept me off my feet.

I don't trust fellas like that.
What do you know about him?

I simply can't discuss it
any further. Especially now.

I'm engaged to be married
and that's all there is to it.

So if you'll please
just step aside.

I couldn't help overhearing,
Martha. Congratulations.

Thank you.

When is the happy day?

Well, we just got engaged.

I can hardly wait
to meet the lucky man,

even though you'll be
leaving the bank.

Leaving?

Oh. Uh, well, not right away.

Oh. A woman's place
is in the home, Martha.

- Well, would you give me my withdrawal?
- I am.

Well, I never saw that
much money in all my life.

Oh!

Oh, I remember when Eli Mauder
proposed to me, God rest his soul.

I washed the same dress
eight times.

Thank you. Much obliged.
That's what we're here for.

Uh, good day.

Good day.

Tiny Morgan! Well, I'll be.

Trampas.

Oh. Almost forgot. Easy now.

Same old Trampas.
It's been a long time.

Yeah. That it has.

How you been? Oh, I'm just fine.
Just fine. Hey, you're lookin' good.

Looks like you're
eating regular. Yeah?

You work around here?

Nope. Got my own place now,
up near Pueblo. How 'bout you?

I'm still at Shiloh Ranch,
just outside of Medicine Bow.

Boss sent me and another fella down
here to that Galloway bulls auction.

I sure hope I get me
one of those Galloways.

You look like you're doing
real fine. Yes, sir.

Say, you ever get married?

Well, that's kind
of a long story.

Oh. Well, come on. Let's
talk about it over a beer.

We got a lot of catching
up to do. Trampas.

Later. I... don't feel much
like talking about it right now.

Oh. Yeah.

All right, Tiny. See you later.

Hello, pardner. Howdy.

Well, everything go all right at
the bank? Yep, we're in business.

Good. I thought you'd be all
unpacked by now, out seeing the sights.

There was a slight delay.
Oh? What happened?

I got engaged.

That's very funny. What did
happen? I told you. I got engaged.

Just like that? I leave you in a
strange town for five minutes,

and you get yourself
engaged. Yup.

An old girlfriend. You haven't seen
her for a long time and you decided...

Never saw her before in my life.

Well, I've heard of whirlwind courtships
in my day, but this beats 'em all.

- There wasn't any courtship.
- Marriage broker?

Don't be silly.

Don't be... Look who's talkin'.

I...

David, are you serious?

Yeah. You are.

Well, you mind telling me
just how this happened?

Well, uh, I was on the way to
the hotel, and she bumped into me.

- And you proposed.
- Oh, no, she did.

She... I see.

David, which pocket do
you keep your money in?

- See? She's not that kind of girl.
- What kind of girl is she?

She bumps into a total
stranger in the middle

of the street and
asks him to marry her?

- Must be a good-looker.
- She is.

I'll bet.

The truth is, I'm doing
her a favor. Sure you are.

You're the catch of the season.

She didn't ask me to marry
her. Just be engaged to her.

There's a difference.
Oh, I know.

First you get engaged, then you get
married. We're not gonna get married.

You broke up already?
Well, now that was quick.

Let me see. You've been in
this town exactly... 37 minutes,

and in that space of time, you've
gotten yourself engaged and...

- What?
- I was just having some fun with you.

The truth is... Mm-hmm.

There's this little fella that
keeps pestering her to marry him.

Won't take no for an answer. So she
thought if she told him she was engaged,

he'd leave her alone, and he'd
go back where he came from.

- That's all there is to it.
- Is that... Oh.

Well, you know
what I think? What?

That story sounds nuttier
than the first one.

- Yeah, it is, isn't it?
- Mm-hmm.

But what other reason
could she have?

Breach of promise.

Of course I was
telling the truth.

You saw for yourself. Tiny
Morgan. I pointed him out to you.

Well, that's what
I told Trampas.

He's just got a suspicious mind.

However, if you don't
want to go through with it...

Sure I do. I'm glad to help.

You don't sound like it,
coming over here to question me.

I told you that
was Trampas's idea.

I'll see you at 5:00.6:00.

6:00.

Excuse me. I'm sorry. I wasn't
looking where I was going.

I... I was thinking
about something else.

That's all right.

Thank you.

I told you before... This won't
take long. I've been thinking about it,

and I just wanted to tell you if
this fella, whatever his name is...

Sutton. David Sutton.

Well, if he's what you want,
I won't stand in the way.

That's sweet of you, Tiny.

Then you'll be going back
to your ranch?

Soon as the auction's
over tomorrow.

I was gonna buy a bull as a
wedding present to both of us.

I'm still gonna buy one,
but it won't be the same.

You'll find somebody, Tiny.
I'm sure you will.

Not like you.

Good luck, Martha.

Thank you.

Congratulations!
Ethel Mauder told me the news.

Oh, aren't you the sly one.

Carrying on right under my nose,
and I never knew a thing about it.

And aren't you ashamed, not telling
me before you told Ethel Mauder?

Well, I... When did it happen?

Who is he?
Oh, tell me all about it.

There isn't much to
tell. Oh, listen to her.

I suppose you just bumped into
him on the street and got engaged.

What makes you say that?
Well, you won't say anything.

No matter. The important
thing is you got one.

What's he like?

Well, he... he's very nice.

- Is that him?
- Yes.

He looks kind of peaked to me.

But then, bachelors
never do eat right.

Hello, David. Hi.

Martha. This is Ma Lacey.

Pleased to meet
you. How do you do?

You can kiss her now, young man.

You're engaged.
Oh, yeah. I forgot.

Won't you come in? Thank you.

Well, I'll, uh,
leave you two alone.

It was nice to have met
you, Mr., um... Sutton.

David Sutton. Mrs. David Sutton.

Oh, sounds nice.

I'm sorry about
what happened out there.

All in the line of duty.
You're really a good sport.

Damsel in distress,
as the saying goes.

Won't you sit down?

Thank you.

Did you have a busy day?

Well, uh, I became engaged.

Here you are.

Might as well start
fattening him up right now.

Help yourself.

They look delicious.
Take a couple.

Martha made them herself.

I'll leave the tray. Thank you.

Thank your fiancée
for being such a good cook.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to let you in for all of this.

It's all right. I love cookies.

Did you really make 'em
yourself?

No.

This suitor of yours, did you
tell him about our engagement?

This morning. Did it work?

Yes. He's going away.
But not until tomorrow.

Do you mind keeping this up
just for one more day?

Course not. You know,
my father always said,

if you take on a job,
no matter how unpleasant it is...

I don't mean this is unpleasant.
That's just the way the saying went.

I understand.

Well, I guess I better be going.

I don't know how to thank you.

Say, now that so many people
know about it,

how are you gonna explain it to
'em when I go back to Medicine Bow?

I don't know. I hadn't counted
on the news spreading so fast.

Maybe we could have a fight, and
then you could break the engagement...

I mean,
after the other fellow leaves.

I'll worry about that later.

Oh! Excuse me. Oh, excuse me!

Guess what! Lucy Williams
just stopped by to tell me...

the sewing circle
is gonna give you a shower.

They can't. Now,
Martha, we insist.

But... Not another word.

Won't it be fun, Mr. Sutton?

Starting your married life
with all the linens you'll need?

But I have linen
in my hope chest.

Well, then we'll make it
a kitchen shower.

I know you don't have pots
and pans in your hope chest.

Sounds fine.

I was just leaving.
Good-bye, you lucky boy.

Good-bye.

Good-bye, Martha.

Well, he isn't much,
but any old port in a storm.

I'm gonna sit right there.

Beer. Howdy.

♪♪

Mmm.

Hello. How 'bout a drink?

Hello. How 'bout a drink?

Hello, Tiny. Hi.

What'll you have? I'm buying.

I don't feel like drinking. Hmm?

Maybe you didn't hear
me right. I said I'm buying.

I heard you. Say, you
must be in bad shape.

You ever been disappointed
in love?

Oh. Dozens of times.
Dozens of times.

I mean the real thing.

The one girl in the world.

Oh. Well, yeah.

They all are, till the
next one comes along.

I didn't think you'd understand.

Oh. I'm sorry, buddy. I...

You wanna talk about it?

There isn't much to tell now.

She just got engaged
to marry somebody else.

Oh.

Well, that's tough.

He must be a real charmer,

the way he come into town
and swept her off her feet.

- Uh, you say he just came into town?
- That's right.

Not a local boy? You sure?

Course I'm sure.
She just told me.

Oh. But you don't know him?

No. Never laid eyes on him.

But I'd sure like to.

Yeah, but...

Uh, you don't know
his name then.

Yeah. She told me his name.

David Sutton.

Sutton?

Um...

Tiny, I'll see you in a minute.

Hey, I've been looking for you.

You were wrong about her.
I got nothing to worry about.

You've got a lot to worry
about. You've drawn

a bad hand, chum.
Now let's get outta here.

No, she assured me...
You don't have all the facts.

Now that rival of yours is a mighty
tough man. Well, I can handle him.

Have you seen him? Yeah,
she pointed him out to me.

- And you still think you can handle him?
- No problem.

Well, I
underestimated you, chum.

You got a lot of guts
for a man your size.

What about his size?
You know what they call him?

- Yeah, well, that's a joke.
- Not if you've seen him.

I've seen him. Close up?

As close as you and I are.
And you still think he's tough?

- Mm-hmm. The toughest man I ever met.
- What, that ribbon clerk?

- He's not a ribbon clerk.
- I don't care what he is.

I just don't see how you can stand there
and tell me I'm supposed to be afraid of...

- David, listen to me...
- Trampas, you listen.

I'm not looking for trouble, but if
he's foolish enough to start something,

then I can handle him,
morning, noon, or night. David...

David... With one hand
tied behind my back.

Hi. Hello. And furthermore...

I'm Louise. I was just
telling my girlfriend...

that you looked like the sort
of man that'd buy a girl a drink.

I'm sorry. We're busy.

What's the matter?
Can't he talk for himself?

No.

You want me to leave,
all you gotta do is say so.

Well, no, I wouldn't
talk like that to a lady.

Is that supposed to be
some kind of crack?

What do you mean?

No, I guess it isn't.

Thanks, mister. Forget I
bothered you. Oh, no, not at all.

It'd be a pleasure to
buy you a drink. Come on.

Thanks.

Now that's how a gentleman buys
a lady a drink. Straight whiskey.

David...

David. Uh...

To your good health.

Where you from,
honey? Medicine Bow.

Are they all as nice as
you are in Medicine Bow?

What'd you walk away for? Uh...

Well, I had to talk to this
fella. Why don't we go back?

Why? What's the difference?
It's too crowded here.

Crowded? Excuse me.

Yes. What's your name, big boy?

David Sutton. Uh...

Boy, it's hot in here. Why
don't we get some fresh air?

- Did you say your name was David Sutton?
- Yeah, that's right.

- Hey, this is a private party.
- Party's over, ma'am.

But he's with me. That's just
why I'm here. This man's engaged.

Oh.

She's a lucky woman.

Yep, and I aim
to keep her that way.

You're leavin'. Just a minute.

Hey, set him down,
you big bully!

- I can take care of myself.
- No, you can't.

Do you wanna walk or do you
wanna ride out of here?

Uh, now, look, Tiny... Tiny...

Tiny? Not Tiny Morgan?

That's right. I don't know
what Martha sees in you,

but as long as you're what she
wants, you're what she's gonna get.

So don't go fooling around
with other women.

Understand? He understands.

I wanna hear it from him.

David. What in heaven's name...

I'm breaking the engagement.
Breaking...

- Shh!
- But why?

The last time I saw you,

you said everything
was going to be all right.

That was before
I saw Tiny Morgan.

But you saw him this morning.

I never saw him before
in my life till 10 minutes ago.

Yes, you did. Don't you remember
when I bumped into you?

Yes, as though it just happened.

He was
in front of Milady's Modes.

And I pointed him out to you.

- You pointed someone out to me.
- That was Tiny.

Then he's grown a lot.

There's something wrong.

There certainly is.

No! Wait! I'll be right down.

Oh, no, you won't. You stay
right where you are, miss.

Unless you're thinkin'
of movin'.

Please, Ma.
This is terribly important.

So's the reputation
of my boardinghouse.

Young man, you look respectable.

So you get before I change
my mind about you.

We were just having
a conversation.

Well, I'm postponing it
till daylight.

You can walk me to the bank
in the morning,

dear.

Why don't you get some rest
for the journey?

See you in the morning.

Won't I?

Come for breakfast. Time
your fiancée learned to cook.

Oh, boy. Is this the life.

Nice soft bed, uh...

David. Yo.

What are you doing up so
early? I got a date for breakfast.

Break... You sure haven't
wasted any time on this trip.

It wasn't my idea. Martha's
landlady invited me over for breakfast.

Don't tell me you're
trying to romance her too.

Course not.

Well, it only makes sense.

First, it's Martha. Then
it's the girl at the saloon.

Seems to me you're trying to
corral every single girl in this town.

Well, all I did last night
was buy that girl a drink.

Yeah.

Boy, did you look funny
sitting up on that bar.

Huh. Must be great
to have a sense of humor.

Well, I tried to tell you.
"No problem," you said.

"I can handle him with one hand tied
behind my back," you said. Big Tiny.

Hey, maybe that was the problem. You
didn't have one hand tied behind your back.

I'll see you at the auction,

if you can stop laughing
long enough.

Wait till I tell 'em
back at the ranch.

You don't mean that.

It'll help pass the long
winter nights around the fire.

I thought we were friends.
Yeah, we are friends.

It's too good to...

Unless...

Unless you want to take my turn
bringing in the horses in the morning.

- You only have to get up an hour earlier.
- That's blackmail.

Couldn't have said it
better myself.

All right. You got a deal.

That was an excellent breakfast.

You sound as surprised
as Ma was. No, not at all.

I didn't always work in a bank.
Well, here we are.

Now, we were standing
over there.

And they were right here.
Excuse me.

Mr. Glodder. You
don't have to do all this.

- I really believe you.
- You didn't last night.

Dear people, let me extend
my warmest felicitations.

Mr. Glodder, would you do something
for me? Your servant, noble lady.

Would you stand
right here? And...

Here? Yes. And, David,
you stand right there.

Mr. Glodder, were you
standing here yesterday morning?

Uh, not unlikely.

Now this is very important.
It was about 9:00.

And you were with
somebody. A customer?

That's what I want you to tell us. Someone
was looking in the window, and then...

you came out.

Hmm.

Oh. Tiny Morgan.

Yeah, he was admiring
a dress in the window.

Thank you, Mr. Glodder.

You have only to command.

To the victor go the spoils.

Charge accounts invited,
dear sir.

You make a lovely couple.

I don't see how you could
have thought he was my fiancé.

I mean, Mr. Glodder's a very nice
man, but he's old enough to be my father.

I told you. I didn't get
that good a look at him.

All I know is
he was no Tiny Morgan.

I'm terribly sorry. I didn't
mean to deceive you.

It's all right. It wasn't your
fault. The whole thing is my fault.

I've been terribly unfair
to you, Mr. Sutton.

David. No, you haven't.

Yes, I have. I practically
accosted you in the street.

I knew what I was
getting into. No, you didn't.

I didn't either. But I want you
to know you can get out of it.

I've caused you enough trouble.
You haven't caused me any trouble.

Besides, the way news travels around here,
I couldn't get out of it if I wanted to.

You're sure? Positive.

Unless I want to get
ridden out of town on a rail.

Good morning.

Good morning, Tiny.

I wanted to tell you that I won't
be leaving right away. Oh?

I decided to stay around
for the wedding.

But we haven't set the date.
What are you waitin' for?

If Martha had said yes to me, I'd
have been married 10 minutes later.

Well, you see,
it's not that easy.

Sure is. There's the church.

Preacher is in it,
and I'll give the bride away.

You will not.

You see, we thought
we'd have a quiet wedding.

I'll be quiet.

Tiny Morgan, this is
none of your business.

Maybe not, but got
nothin' else to do now.

So, I'll wait...
till you two tie the knot.

What am I going to do?

I'll think of something. What?

Young lovers, as eternal as the
seasons. Good morning, Mr. Burnside.

So this is the young Lochinvar who
swept my little girl off her feet, hmm?

Ah... Well, aren't you
gonna introduce us, child?

I'm sorry, Mr. Burnside. This is
David Sutton. Congratulations.

Thank you. But I warn you, sir.

Martha's like a
daughter, and if you treat

her badly, you're gonna
have to answer to me.

Oh, I guess I could spare her
for another few minutes.

Oh, I almost forgot. Mrs. Burnside
wants to have you two for supper tonight.

Thank you, but we have
previous plans.

We'll be patient.
But make it soon.

May all your troubles
be little ones.

Martha, why don't you take an extra
half hour for lunch with your fiancé.

Thank you.

It looks like you're stuck
to have lunch with me.

Well, at least it's better
than a family dinner.

I didn't think you'd want
to sit through that.

I don't want to sit through anything. I
just want to get back to Medicine Bow.

Alive.

All right, gentlemen, we'll begin the
bidding as always with a start of $700.

Who'll start me off with
seven? Do I hear seven?

Yep.

Seven. I got a bid of
seven. Make it an eight.

We gonna bid on him? No.

Make it a nine. Do I hear a
nine? Nine, sir. Thank you.

Got a bid of nine. Make it a
10. Ten? Ten? Ten's the bid.

Now make it 11. Eleven? Eleven?
Do I hear an 11? I got a bid of 11.

Ever been to an auction
before? First time.

Twelve! Twelve's the bid. I
got a bid of 12. Do I hear 13?

Do I hear 13? Thirteen.
Thank you, sir. I got a bid of 13.

Now make it a 14.
Fourteen? Do I hear 14?

Fourteen's the bid. I got
a bid of 14. Do I hear 15?

Fifteen? Do I hear a 15?
Now make it a 15.

Fifteen's the bid. Fifteen and
a half? Do I hear 15 and a half?

Make it 15 and a half. Fifteen
and a half, sir. Fifteen and a half.

Do I hear a 16? Sixteen to
that gentleman. Make it a half.

Do I hear a 16 and a half?
Sixteen and a half?

Do I hear a bid?
Going once. Going twice.

Going for the third
and last time.

Sold to Mr. Hamilton
of the Double H.

And a real bargain
there too, sir.

Sure thought I had that one.

Yeah.

This one's a real beauty,
gentlemen.

Registered in the herd book
as Champion Rob-Roy O'Keery,

a title he really deserves too.

So we'll start the bidding with $700.
Do I hear seven? Make it a seven.

I got a bid of seven. Now make
it an eight? I got a bid of eight.

Eight's the bid. Got a bid
of eight. Go ahead, bid.

I've never done this.

Lot of things you hadn't done
before you got to Durango.

Well, you know our limit.
When you get to that, stop.

- One thousand.
- One thousand. I've got a bid of thousand.

Eleven hundred. Twelve.

Thirteen. Thirteen,
sir. Thank you.

Thirteen-fifty. Wanna make
it 14? Fourteen? Fourteen?

Fourteen. Fourteen!

Fourteen's the bid. I got a
bid of 14. Now make it 15.

I got a bid of 14. $1,500.

Fifteen's the bid.
Go on. Go on. Go on.

Fifteen and a half. I
got a bid... Six... Sixteen!

Sixteen. Thank you, sir. I got a bid
of 16, gentlemen. Sixteen and a half.

Do I hear 16 and a half?
Do I have a bid?

Gee, I hate to do that to an old
friend, but, well, business is business.

Why'd you make me
bid against him?

He's got it in for me
enough as it is.

I thought you needed
the experience.

I'm getting enough experience.

Sold to the gentleman
from Wyoming.

I wish you'd let me pay
for my half of the lunch.

And have half
the town talkin'? Mm-mmm.

Have you thought of a way
to get rid of Tiny yet?

I was hoping you had
thought of something.

I've toyed with the idea
of breaking a leg.

Oh, dear. It seemed like
such a good idea at the time.

Breaking a leg?
No. Getting engaged.

Dear people, here you are.

- That isn't mine.
- No, it certainly isn't.

I just took it out of the
showcase. Real Oriental silk.

Direct from San Francisco.

For the bride.
Compliments of Milady's Modes.

Featuring the finest
of wedding gowns.

Thank you.

Well, one hand washes the other.

Oh, speaking of hands,
I don't see an engagement ring.

Oh, we, uh... We were just
going to shop for one.

Oh, got him trained already, eh?

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
when first we practice to deceive."

Old Walter Scott knew
what he was talkin' about.

You don't really
have to buy me a ring.

I know, but I have to look like I'm
going to or Tiny will be on my neck again.

Anyway, it'll be good practice
when I really get engaged.

Oh, remember.

Don't get carried away
and say you like any of them.

Don't worry. I'll be very
hard to please. Good.

Oh. Hello, Martha.
Hello, Mr. Hastings.

Well, I understand
congratulations are in order.

I assume you're preparing
for the nuptials.

We wanted to look at some
rings. Oh, yes, of course.

And I do have some lovely rings,

both, uh... both engagement...

and wedding.

All the latest fashions,
of course.

They're very nice.

But not exactly
what we're looking for.

But you haven't
looked at them yet, sir.

Oh, uh, I was just talking
in general.

Oh, yes. Uh...

Oh, here. Yes, here's one.

I can make you a very
good price on this one.

Hello.

Hello, Tiny.

I was wondering when you
were gonna buy her a ring.

Go ahead.
Take care of them first.

Oh, no, that's all right. We
haven't found anything we liked.

Besides, nothing's too good
for Martha.

You don't have to tell me that.

I have a headache.
We'll have to come back later.

I have others if...

I may not be the handsomest
man in the world, but...

does he look like
the kind of man that

could sweep a girl
like Martha off her feet?

Well, he-he...

Uh, what can I do for you, sir?

I want to look
at some wedding presents.

Something a lady can use.

♪♪

Having fun? Just practicing.
Best man's practicing.

Well, don't let me stop
you. Where you been?

Pretending to shop for a ring.

Oh, a ring! Well, now,
when you get yourself

engaged, you do it
up right, don't you?

You bet. You have to...

When the whole town's looking
over your shoulder. Mm-hmm.

I hate to be a killjoy,
but have you given any

thought to how you're
gonna get out of this?

I certainly have. You have?

Especially since Tiny's decided to
stay in town till after we're married.

Tiny's decided to stay in town
until after you're married?

David, I know Tiny,
and you're... Well...

We're in a lot of trouble.

Open the door,
in the name of the law.

What have you done now? Nothin'.
I haven't had time to do anything.

Come on in. Howdy.

- That's him. That's him. That's the man.
- What's this all about?

The man here says you
stole a ring from his store.

He's crazy. I went to look at some
and told him I'd come back later.

And when I put the tray away, one
was missing. Now you search him.

And if you don't find it,
you search this room.

Now just wait a minute. Take it easy,
mister. Just empty out your pockets.

What a town! You go into
a man's store to buy a ring,

and the next thing
you know you...

Aha! Aha!
That's it! That's my ring!

I don't know how it got here, unless
it rolled off the counter into my pocket.

That's a likely story.
No, he's telling the truth.

Friend of yours? Give
him the ring. Sure he is.

And he's an honest man.
Then you can testify for him.

I'll need that bit of evidence to
show to the judge when he gets here.

- Judge?
- Now, Sheriff, no, no.

We're leaving for Medicine
Bow tomorrow, he and I. He's not.

This your gun? Yeah.

Now, you want to come peaceful?
You're making a big mistake.

That's why we have trials,
mister. Now you come along.

Uh, David?

I'll, uh...

Tiny Morgan, if you don't
go away and leave me alone...

- I can't do that, now that you need me.
- I don't need you.

Once and for all,
I am engaged to be married.

Looks like the wedding's
gonna be postponed...

till your fiancée
gets out of jail.

Jail?

Yeah. For stealing
from the jeweler.

That's impossible.

Honey, he's behind bars.

Than there's been a terrible
mistake. Dave couldn't steal.

Those things happen, Martha.

But I know him. He...

He just couldn't do
such a thing.

Don't worry, honey.

I just come from the
meeting. You're gonna

have the biggest shower
Durango has ever seen.

I'm afraid you'll just
have to cancel it.

- You two have a spat?
- He's in jail.

Well, if that isn't
just like a man.

Do you know what you're saying?

That's the way it happened,
Sheriff.

When I saw my honey with Sutton,
picking out that wedding ring,

I just couldn't stand it.

So I took that ring
and planted it on him.

Guess I wasn't thinking
very straight.

Well, you're gonna have a
lot of time to think about it now.

In, you.

All right, got a new customer.

You can go now.

Or can't you tear
yourself away, Sutton?

Sure, but I don't understand.

Spare me a minute
with him, Sheriff? Alone?

All right. But just a minute.

Now you listen to me, Sutton.

I know I didn't steal that ring
and you know I didn't.

But I'd do anything in this world to
make Martha happy, so I confessed.

Confessed? But...
I'm warning you.

If you ever give that girl
another unhappy minute,

I'm gonna tear you apart
piece by piece.

You can lock me in now.
But you got this all wrong.

Don't argue with me.

Time's up.

All right. Fun is fun, and I guess I've
enjoyed this game as much as anyone.

But it's not funny anymore.
David is in jail.

I know. And you're
standing here?

What can I do?

Now, Miss Martha,
you have a pretty quick mind.

You were smart enough to
get him engaged. But he's in jail.

And you're getting him out. David
and I are strangers in this town.

But you're not. They don't have to
believe us, but they will believe you.

Hmm. Never saw a man
eat like that before.

The condemned man ate a hearty
meal. Well, what can I do for you?

Sheriff, he's innocent.
You've got to believe me.

Well, sorry,
but he's already confessed.

Sutton confessed? Oh, no,
no, not Sutton. Tiny Morgan.

I don't think I follow this. Morgan
said he planted the ring on Sutton.

Can I see him? Why not?

- What are you doing here, Trampas?
- Oh, just browsin'.

Tiny Morgan, how could
you have done such a thing?

- Guess I was jealous.
- What made you change your mind?

What difference does it make?
Your friend's free, isn't he?

Tiny, I feel terrible
about this.

Don't worry about me. Maybe
I'll get out in time for the wedding.

All right, everybody out.

So long, Tiny.

Yo!

Whoa. Whoa.

I've been looking for you.
Did you hear what happened?

Trampas told me.
I just came from the jail.

Good night, Mr. Lake.
Good night. Good night.

I never thought Tiny could
ever do a thing like that.

Well, he meant well, but he's got it all
wrong. What do you mean, he meant well?

Stealing a ring and making it
look like you did it. He didn't steal it.

He thinks I did. He said
that just so they'd let me go.

What are you talking about? He
just told me... Excuse me, miss.

I'd like to see the head man. He's
in his office. But it's closing time.

I'll just be a minute.
Thank you.

I don't know what Morgan told
you. I only know what he told me.

I've got to make some entries,
but as soon as I finish here,

we'll go back and find out
what this is all about.

- Mr. Burnside?
- Yes.

- I want to talk to you.
- Well, it's after hours.

I know. Just do what I
say and you won't be hurt.

Just what is it
you want me to do?

First, get those people out of here.
Then you'll open the safe for me.

- And if I refuse?
- That's kind of a stupid question...

for a man who's smart enough
to run a bank.

Not so stupid. If you shoot
me, the whole town will hear.

But you'll be dead.

Let's go.

Mr. Burnside.

It's after closing time.
I've got the cash box ready.

Just stand there and be quiet.

Tell that man over there
to go. The bank's closed.

He's not a customer.
He's waiting for me.

Turn around and
walk over to him. Slow.

I'll be right behind you.

I've got a gun stuck right in her
back. So don't do anything foolish.

Go over and lock the door.

Now drop your gun belt.

Now I want the combination
to the safe.

I don't know it.

Only Mr. Burnside knows it.

No, I didn't kill him.
But I had to knock him out.

I guess we'll have to
wait till he comes to.

This isn't gonna work, you know.
We've got friends expecting us in town.

And when we don't show up,
they're gonna come looking for us.

How much is in there?

About $2,000.

Well, I guess
that'll have to do.

Come along.

Where you taking her?

You don't think I'm gonna
leave you here, do you? Move.

Come on.

All right. Straight out of town. And make
it look good. I'll be right behind you.

She's not home yet.
Maybe she's with her fiancé.

I can't find him either.

Well, maybe... maybe
she's still at the bank.

This late? Maybe she got behind.

I'm afraid she doesn't have her
mind much on business these days,

not since she got engaged.

Well, I'll take a look.

Mr. Burnside,
you all right? Huh?

Here, put this on your head.

Here. Right there.

Well, I just saw them goin'
down the street a few minutes ago.

Was anybody with
them? I don't know.

The back end of the wagon
was covered up with a tarp.

I thought they looked
kind of funny, but...

You would too if you had a gun in your
back. How many of them were there?

I only saw one. There may have been
others, but only one came into my office.

They can't have a very big head
start if they're traveling in a wagon.

- I'll round up a posse.
- Sheriff!

Sheriff, I want to go along!

Whoa.

Get down.

Who are they?

They were in the bank.
I had to bring 'em along.

We'll tie 'em up
and leave 'em here.

How much did you
get? I didn't count it.

- This is all there was in the safe?
- I didn't get in the safe.

Inside.

What do you mean,
you didn't get into the safe?

I'll tell you about that
after we take care of them.

Better be good.

By the time you and your friend
get loose, we'll be long gone.

I don't suppose you'd believe
us if we gave you our word...

we'd wait here until
you had a good head start.

That's right, mister.
We wouldn't.

We've already made one mistake... letting
him try his fancy way of robbing a bank.

No shooting, no dynamite.
All nice and quiet.

Only thing is, we end up
with you two instead of money.

Real smart.

Smart enough to be able to go into town
without having my face on a wanted poster.

Spread out.

All right, you inside there,
come on out with your hands up!

You can't get away.
Come on out, we won't shoot.

I've got a better idea.
You men drop your guns.

All we want is a chance
to get away.

Then you can have her and
the man back all in one piece.

Make up your minds, quick!

All right, do as he says.

Now get up close together
where I can watch you.

Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

Watch 'em.

Get the money. We're taking off.

You and your friends are
gonna have a nice long walk.

Hurry it up, huh?

Go finish the saddlin'.

Did they hurt you? No.

Are you sure? Yes.

Well, how 'bout me?

Let's go.

Hurry up in there!

Watch 'em.

What the devil...

Tiny, you're hurt! Just
tore the skin a little.

Get a doctor! He's hurt!

Oh. Looks like a flesh wound.

If anything happens to him,
I'll never forgive myself.

Unless he's got another hole in him
someplace... No, there was only one shot.

All right, let's get 'em
down to jail.

Oh, darling.

You're gonna be all right, Tiny.

I know it.

I just can't stand
the sight of blood.

Always makes me faint.

What did you call me?

I don't remember.

Guess I must have
still been unconscious.

I thought you said "darling."

She did.

I heard her. He heard her.

That's a funny way for
a girl to talk to a man...

who's already engaged
to somebody else.

I'm not engaged. You're not?

No. No. I only said that...

What she means is, she's
not engaged to him anymore,

'cause she called you "darling," which
means she's really in love with you.

Is that true?

Well...

Of course it is.

Sorry, old man,
but that's the way it is.

Fine. You know, I mean,
if that's the way she feels.

You made me the happiest man
in the world.

Well, Tiny, looks like
your bandage slipped.

Forget it. Nothing could
bother me at a time like this.

I beg your pardon, but I wonder
if you could do me a favor?

Why, certainly, ma'am.

You don't want to go
through that again.

Sorry. I'd like to, but,
well, I'm afraid that...

Besides, it's my turn. Now
you just tell me all about it, miss.

It is miss, isn't it?
