[ theme song ]

[ mooing ]

[ cowhands yelping
and whistling ]

It's a long walk from Texas.
They held up real good.

With this kind of feed,
they'll be fat again
in no time, Pa.

Keep them movin'.
We're goin' into town.

If you get them
bedded down in time,

you can bring
some of the boys
in for a drink.

They earned it.
Yes, sir.

Take my horse.
I'll ride in with Maggie.

I'll get you a room
at the hotel.

You can soak in a hot tub
and sit down to a real table
for a change.

Ah, I can do that
when we get to the new ranch.

Besides, I gotta see
this lawyer that drew up
them papers--

teach him how
we do business
where I come from.

Want us to go with you, Pa?

Sure. Might as well let him
see all the Tyrones at once.

I'll see your sister settled,

and, uh, we'll find out
what kind of whiskey
they got in Wyoming.

Well, I'm goin' down
to have a shave first.

Well, you wouldn't want
the Tyrones comin' into town

lookin' like a bunch
of saddle tramps.

It would be a bad way
to start, Pa.

Son, we could come into town
with beards down to our knees,

and nobody would ever think
the Tyrones were saddle tramps.

It just could be
there's somebody up north
never heard of you.

They will soon enough.
Bring your sister's luggage.

I'm Mike Tyrone.
I want your best suite.

Yes, sir.

Number nine and ten.
That's the best
we have available.

I didn't ask for
the best available suite.

I said I wanted
your best suite.

Well, there's only
one larger one.

I'll take it.

Well, you didn't
let me finish.

It's occupied.

Get them out.

Dad, it really doesn't matter.

It matters to me.
I'll give you ten minutes
to have that suite vacant.

I'm sorry, sir,
but I can't possibly tell
Judge Garth that he's got--

What'd you say that name was?

Garth.

First name wouldn't be Henry,
would it?

Yes, sir.

I'll take care of it myself.

But sir!

What's the number?

Speak up!

You'd better tell him.

[ sighs ]

Seven and eight.

Is your father
always like that?

Only when he
doesn't get his own way.

You in there, open the door.

JUDGE GARTH: Who is it?

Never mind who it is,
I want that suite.

I'll give ya
five minutes to get out.

What kind
of drunken nonsense--

[ laughs ]

Got a rise out of ya,
didn't I, Henry?

Mike. Mike Tyrone!

How are ya, old timer?

Fine. Come on in, Mike.

Let me take a look at ya.

You really a judge?

Ah, no, not anymore.

Put on a little weight,
haven't ya?

Well, I think we're
both a little wider
between the hip pockets.

[ both laugh ]

What brings you up here?

What, they finally
run you out of Texas?

Well, the drought did.

Sit down.

After five years
with not enough rain
to slick down your hair,

I finally knew
when I was licked.

What?
You must have changed.

How long ago was that?
Must have been 30 years.

Just about.

You know, Henry,
I think that

was the toughest fight
I ever had,

and I had more than my share
in those days.

I couldn't chew
for about a week.

Every tooth in my jaw ached.

Took three deputies
to break it up.

I'll bet that's
still the record.

[ laughs ]

You remember what it was about?

Um, I think her name
was Janet, huh?

Right.

[ laughs ]

Well, I suppose
after I left town,
you and she, uh...

She married a drummer.

No.

She sure was pretty.

You know,
the tragedy of it is

I don't even remember
what she looked like.

[ chuckles ]
So, you know,
when I told Kroger--

I said, "Now, look,
I don't tell you how
to shoe horses, do I?

So don't tell me
how to cut hair."

[ chuckles ]
Well, that really stopped him.

I'll bet it did.

I'd better see
what's goin' on up there.

You ever wonder how that fight
would have turned out

if they'd let us finish it?

Oh, I know how it
would have turned out.

Oh, yeah?

We'd have killed each other.

[ both laugh ]

[ knock at door ]

Yes?

I thought maybe
you'd need some help.

You're 30 years too late.

[ laughs ]

Meet my daughter Margaret
and my son Kevin.

My old friend Henry--
uh, excuse me, Judge Garth.

Kevin, how do you do.

Go downstairs
and tell the clerk
that other suite is all right.

Well, if you need more room,
you can have this place.

I'm only gonna be here
for one night.

I wouldn't think of it.
We're not ever here
for the night.

I just wanted a place
where Margaret could get a bath
and change her clothes

while the boys and I
had a business meeting.

Whole suite just to get
a bath and change some clothes?

Texas or Wyoming,
the Tyrones go first class.

Put Margaret's luggage
in the other suite.

We'll pick you up later.

Nice to meet you,
Judge Garth.

Nice meeting you.

Nice family.

There's one more,
but how 'bout you?

Any family?

One daughter...

and a lot of young men
working for me

would be happy
to meet your girl.

No $30-a-month cowhand's
for Margaret.

Wait a minute.

Seems to me when we
had our little run-in,

you were nothing
but a plain, old cowhand.

That was me.

Besides, she's not meant
for ranching.

She belongs
in a mansion in the east

with a man that can afford
the right life for her.

Come on, let's find
a quiet place

where we can wet our whistles
and swap a few lies.

How's everything at your place?
Everybody all right?

Just fine.
Good, good.

You know something,
mister,

you give about
the slowest shave
I ever seen.

Down in Texas,
three men could have been
in and out of that chair

in the time I just been
sittin' here waitin'.

Well, could be, mister,

but, uh, what did
their faces look like?

[ both laugh ]

All right, let's move over,
and I'll show you.

Now you just lie
right still there, mister,

unless you
rather be on your way.

Oh, I'll stay
till I'm finished.

You wanna do the job,
fella, go ahead.

That's right nice of ya.

'Course my hand
might shake a little.

I'm holdin' the hammer down
with my thumb.

One little nick,
and mine might shake, too.

[ sighs nervously ]

Well, go ahead,
before the lather dries.

Uh, nice and easy.

That's good.

Yes, sir.

Uh, don't cut the sideburns.

So you bought
the old Bartlet ranch.

How many head do you
plan on running there?

I just brought
the first 5,000 up with me.

Five thousand--
on that spread?

That's only the beginning.

What's goin' on there?

What's going on?

Some blowhard
tried to bluff Trampas
out of the chair...

didn't work.

I don't know him.

Must be a stranger in town
to pull a fool--

He is--my other son.

Let him be.

He got himself into this.

Nice and close on the neck,

like you do down in Texas.

[ chuckles ]

Oh, that was close,
wasn't it?

[ laughs ]

Yes, sir.

Well...

Pretty good.

Oh.

Uh, reckon you deserve this.

Now just a minute, cowboy.

You had your fun,
now it's my turn.

Hey, fellas,
please not in here!

All right,
we'll settle it outside.

Suits me.

Ease off, everybody.

I don't know how you manage
to make a fool of yourself

the first hour you're in town,
but as long as you did,

make the best of it.

Henry, meet my son Tom.

My old friend Judge Garth.

Hello, Tom.
Steve, this is Mr. Tyrone.

Mr. Tyrone.

My son Tom.

This is Trampas.

You got a good,
close shave there, Trampas.

[ chuckles ]

Yes, I did.
I--I didn't know.

Forget it.
Why don't you two shake hands?

Then you can buy
Trampas a drink

with that tip he gave ya.

Guess you won that round.

Excuse me, gentlemen,
but if you don't mind,

could I use my chair again?

Oh, sorry, Harry.
Let's go.

Oh, you know something,
Harry?

He is faster than you.

Ah.

Oh, Mike, I'm gonna
have to postpone that drink.

I've got an appointment
in a few minutes.

If there's anything
I can do--

Thanks, Henry.

I think everything's
under control.

So long, Mike.

Good-bye, Henry.

I'm sorry, Judge.

If I'd known
that fella's father
was a friend of yours--

Oh, that's all right,
Trampas.

The way he was throwin'
his weight around,

you'd think
he owned the whole town.

Where they come from,
they did.

Well, he's got
a little bit to learn.

You know,
those are the same words

I spoke to his father
30 years ago.

I don't think
it took then either.

Good-bye.

Yo.

The hotel clerk was tellin' me
about your friend the judge.

Did you know
he's the biggest man
in this territory?

Second biggest.

I'm sure you'll find
everything in order,
Mr. Tyrone.

I worked very hard
on this deal.

They don't pay off
on how hard you work.

It's how good the work is
that counts.

I'm not used
to having my ability

to draw up a legal document
challenged, Mr. Tyrone.

We're wasting time.
Let's get to that
first sentence.

Tell me in simple words
what it means.

Surely you've
bought land before.

More than you'll ever see,

and I know why every comma,
every "to-wit" and "wherefore"

is in every piece of paper
I sign before I sign it.

Now do we do it my way
or do we call it off?

[ sighs ]

The first sentence identifies
the parties concerned

and states that I
have power-of-attorney
for the seller of the property.

The second sentence
also states that...

♪♪

I hope the judge
takes a long time.

This is the kind
of meeting I like.

Yo.

What'll it be?

Howdy.

A whiskey.

What outfit you from?

Circle T.

We're from Shiloh.

I heard the boss mention it.

Sounds like
a nice, little spread.

You call this stuff whiskey
up here, huh?

You, uh, must be from Texas.

Well, how'd you know?

Figures.

There, now it's a deal.

Tom. Kevin.

I'm glad to see you
take such an interest.

Pa, you know
that legal stuff's
over my head.

Mine, too.

Let's go.

It's been a pleasure
doin' business with ya.

I can make you boys rich,
but I can't make you smart.

So now we own
some grazing land.

What good's it gonna do?

It won't even handle
half the main herd.

This is the anchor.

All we need now is to pick up
enough acreage around it,

and we'll have
all the spread we need.

Suppose the other owners
don't wanna sell.

Why shouldn't they?
I'll offer them a good price.

[ glass breaking ]

Looks like Rudd.

John, that's no way
for a Circle T foreman
to leave a saloon.

You go back in there
and don't come out
until you can come out right.

Real good fight.

Are you aimin'
to stop it?

What do you think
I'm gonna do?
Sell tickets?

All right, break it up!

I said break it up!

Come on, stop it!

Now who started this?

Well, you gonna speak up,
or do I haul everybody in?

No need to arrest anybody,
Sheriff.

I was aimin' to look you up
and introduce myself,
but my boys beat me to it.

Mike Tyrone--
Circle T.

Did you see this thing start?

First I knew of it
was when my foreman

came flyin' through that door.

Well, what about it?

Oh, me and him just started,
uh, havin' some small talk,

and first thing you know,
boy...

JUDGE GARTH: Go on.

I'm sorry, Judge.
We just started arguin'
about Shiloh and...

Circle T.

What difference does it make
how it started?

Let's split the bill
for the damages
and call it a draw.

What do you say?

All right, go on home,
all of you--

unless you wanna hold them.

No, not this time.

All right, go on, boys.
Saturday night's over.

Get your sister.
I'll be along in a minute.

Will you join Henry and me
in a quiet drink?

No, thanks.
I think I better make sure
they don't start up again.

If you have any bottles
left intact, let's have one.

Yes, sir.

A good fight
while it lasted.

Couldn't hold a candle
to the one we had, though.

To the old days...
and the new ones.

Ahh.

We're gonna have to lay down
some rules, Mike.

Oh, cowhands
and Saturday nights

always add up
to a few skinned knuckles.
You know that.

This was different.

What's different about it?

This wasn't just a couple
of liquored-up cowhands
letting off steam.

This was your boys
against mine,
and I don't like it.

My men are getting orders
tonight--

to stand clear of your men,
in town or out of town.

Think you can make it stick?

It'll stick.

All right, if that's the way
you want it, I'll go along.

I didn't come here
to make trouble.

Thanks, Mike.

Put that on my half
of the bill.

See ya, Henry.

Sure sounds like
a reasonable sort of man.

[ humming ]

Hello there.

Hi.

I'm lookin'
for Barney Wingate.

That's me.

I'm Mike Tyrone.

Well, glad to know ya.

I hear we're
gonna be neighbors.

That's right.
I bought the Bartlet ranch.

You got a nice,
little spread.

Well, it's all right
for a starter.

What do you mean?

Well, I'm gonna need a lot more
acreage than I've got.

That's what I came
to see you about.

I'd like to buy your ranch.

[ laughs ]

Well, from what
I heard about you,

I thought you'd be
a lot better horse trader

than to come right out
and tell a man you want
what he's got.

That's all right.
I'm not here to haggle.

I'm prepared to pay you
more than it's worth.

Worth to who?
You or me?

It's the same thing.

[ chuckles ]
Not by a long shot it ain't.

The buyer sees
what he can get out of it.

Me--I think of all the work
I put into it.

Suppose you name a price--
the way you see it.

Now not so fast.

I'm not sure that I
want to sell at all.

You might as well.
I'm gonna buy up
all the others around here.

I've got a list--
Edwards, Evans, Anderson.

Have they already agreed
to sell?

I haven't talked to them yet.
You were the first.

Well, suppose they
don't wanna sell.

I think they will.

Why?

Well, for one thing,
I'm gonna give them
a good price--

enough so they
can buy a spread farther out.

I figure they'll be
smart enough to take it

while the offer holds good.

Same as I figure you will

when you've had time
to think it over.

Now wait a minute.

What do you mean
while the offer
still holds good?

Well, the first time around,
I'm prepared to deal with a man
on his own terms.

The second time around,
it's generally on mine.

You know,
that kinda sounds
like a threat.

It's just the way
I do business.

Well, think it over,
but not too long.

I'm anxious to get
the rest of my herd up here.

Been nice talkin' to ya, Burt.

I'll drop by next week
after you've had time
to figure out a price.

Takin' quite a lot for granted,
aren't ya?

I don't think so.
It's the best thing
for both of us.

Hi, Trampas.

Howdy.

The judge home?

Yes, sir, I think so.

Thanks.

What's the delegation for?

They want me
to run for mayor.

I told them to check
with the judge.

Oh, yeah.
I gave them your name
when I turned it down.

And no starch
when you do mine.

Yeah, I'll remember that.

[ laughs ]

That tally's not up to date,

but I'll have the new figures
for ya by next week.

[ piano music playing ]

Judge, you think
if we gave Betsy

a mouth organ for Christmas,
it would help--

What are you complaining about?
I live here.

[ chuckles ]

[ knock at door ]

Hello, Mr. Evans.
Won't you come in?

Hello there, Betsy.
Thank you.

Betsy.Hello.

Honey, would you
tell your father
we'd like to see him?

Oh, sure.
Excuse me.

Excuse me, Daddy,
but Mr. Wingate and Mr. Evans
and some men are here.

They'd like to see you.

Oh, ask them to come in,

and, uh, Betsy...

that was very good practicing,

but, uh, you think
you ought to go out

and get a little fresh air
before supper?

[ chuckles ]
I think I know what you mean.

[ both chuckle ]

Well, fortunately,
she'll never have to make
her living as a pianist.

This can wait, Judge.

Stay here.

Judge.

Gentlemen.

How are you, Judge?

Come in.

Judge, we've got
a little problem,

and we thought we'd
better lay it in your lap.

Well, that's a very
reassuring beginning.
Let's have it.

It's about Mike Tyrone.
He wants to buy our land.

Well, I figured he would,
sooner or later,

but what's that got to do
with me?

You want my advice
about the price?

Well, he isn't tryin'
to cheat us--just the opposite.

Well, then...
how can I help you?

We had a meeting last night--
all of us--

and the sense of this meeting

was that you should have
a hand in this, too.

Over the years,
there isn't one of us

that you haven't helped out
at one time or another.

Oh...

We're all indebted to you.

It's only right that we
find out what you think
we ought to do.

Well, the question is--
do you wanna sell out?

Maybe you've had enough
of the valley,

like to try your luck
somewhere else.

No.
Not me.

None of us wanna sell out,
Judge.

We like it right where we are.

Well, then that settles it.

Now can I get
you gentlemen--

There's one more thing.

The way he puts it,

it sounds more like
an ultimatum than an offer.

He threatened ya?

Well, not in so many words.

In fact, he was very polite,
but he got the message across.

A little early to be
throwin' his muscle around,
isn't it?

Well, I don't like
to be leaned on,

but I must say,
I wouldn't like to have
a run-in with Mike Tyrone.

I'll tell ya what.

I've been planning
a little barbeque
to welcome the Tyrones.

Could all of you
make it this Saturday,
with your families, of course?

[ all affirm ]

It'll give us all a chance
to get acquainted

over a couple of drinks
and a steak.

Well, thanks, Judge.

Thank you, Judge.

Good-bye.

[ door closes ]

You really think
a couple of drinks and a steak
are gonna soften him up?

I don't know.
Maybe he's mellowed with age...

like wine.

Some wine just turns
to vinegar when it gets old,
you know, Judge.

Well, I guess
there's no way of telling
till you open the bottle.

[ piano music playing

I--

Yes?

I'm, uh,
I'm looking for Mr. Tyrone.

My father's
not here right now.

Is there anything
I can do for you?

Well, I'm Trampas
from Shiloh ranch.

I'm Margaret Tyrone.

Well, I met your father
and brothers,

but, uh,
you're much prettier.

That's the nicest compliment
I've had since we got here.

Won't you come in?

I, uh, I brought this
from Judge Henry Garth.

It's an invitation
to a party.

I, uh, opened it
on the way over.

I'm sure my father
will be pleased to accept.

Oh, that's
for the whole family.

I understand.

Father will be back soon
if you care to wait.

Well, thank you.
Judge Garth will want to know
whether you can come or not.

I mean,
your father and everybody.

Come in.

Thank you.

As you can see,
we haven't finished
unpacking everything yet.

[ chuckles ]
Yeah.

Did you bring that piano
all the way up from Texas?

Father put that
in the first wagon.

He likes to hear me play.

So do I.

I listened for a while outside
before I knocked.

You play real good.

Thank you.

I wish you could teach Betsy.
She sure hits a few clunkers.

That's Judge Garth's daughter.
You'll meet her Saturday.

I'm looking forward to it.

Dad told me that Judge Garth
had a daughter, but I--

Oh, you'll like her.

Would you like a drink?

Well, it's a little early
in the day for me, but...

For water?

Oh, for water.

Yeah, a glass of water
would be just fine.

Thanks.

[ chuckles ]

Thanks.

That's a nice picture of you.

That school uniform
wasn't very dashing.

[ chuckles ]
I didn't know girls
wore uniforms.

You do at a convent school.

Well, did you like it?
The school, I mean.

Yes, very much.

I boarded there
for three years.

Well, this must be quite
a change from Texas,

especially for a girl.

What do you mean?

Well, I would imagine
it's a lot rougher on a girl

to pull up stakes
and leave her friends,

especially if, uh...
if she had a steady fellow
or fiancé or something.

I wouldn't know about that.

Boy, it's good water.

[ chuckles ]

[ horses approaching ]

MARGARET: Here they come now.

I'll go out
and see them.

Oh, I hope
I see ya Saturday.

Look who's come
to see Maggie.

Or maybe he just needs
another shave.

Hello, Mr. Tyrone.

Trampas brought
an invitation
from Judge Garth.

Yes, I, uh...

Here.

Oh. [ laughs ]

I forgot.

That's very kind of him.

Tell the judge
we'll be pleased to come.

Oh, he'll be glad to hear that.

Good-bye.

Howdy.

Hi.

Hey, you weren't
very friendly to him.

He might get the idea
you don't like him.

Since when do you
entertain cowhands
in the house?

I offered him
a glass of water.

I saw no reason
why he should drink it
out in the hot sun.

There's a roof
on the bunkhouse.

That's where
the hired hands stay,

not in the parlor...
with my daughter.

Somehow you manage
to make simple courtesy
sound compromising.

Now, girl--

I am not a girl.

I'm a woman, and I'd like
to be treated like one.

It's a fine thing
when a man's sons
mind him

and his daughter won't.

Mind you about what?

Being courteous
to a perfectly nice young man

who comes over here
to invite us to dinner?

All right, Maggie,
Maybe I was a little hasty,

but it's only because
I'm thinking of what's
best for you.

Don't you think I'm capable
of figuring that out
for myself?

Isn't that the way
you tried to bring me up?

Maybe you grew up
a little faster
than I expected.

Ever since you got back
from the convent,

you don't seem
to want my help.

It isn't easy having a daughter
who's so much like her father,
is it?

[ sniffs ]

Say, do you smell
something funny?

[ sniffs ]

Yeah, it smells
sorta like a dead muskrat.

No, it smells
more like a skunk.

Yeah.

[ gags ]

I found it.

You spend real money
for this?

Take a whiff of that.

[ sniffs ]

Ooh!
Uh-huh.

Makes my eyes water.

I told ya.

Hey, you know something?

That there hair tonic
draws women like--

like flies around honey.

You can't use too much,
though. It ain't safe.

How come?

You might
find yourself engaged.

Hey, wait a minute.

I thought you said
Tyrone's daughter
was fat and ugly.

Yeah, well, you know,
a man's gotta be polite.

Won't anybody else
wanna dance with her,

not the way she looks.

[ whistles ]

Well, uh, see ya at the party.

[ door closes ]

Just in case.

♪♪

Dad was telling me
on the way over.

Did it really take
six deputies to break up
that fight you two had?

Well, give or take a few.

You wouldn't think it
to look at us now, would you?

Speak for yourself.
I never felt better in my life.

[ applause ]

Oh, Mr. Tyrone,
may I present Mrs. Wingate.

His daughter Margaret.

How do you do?

You have a nice ranch,
Miss Wingate.

I was over there
the other day.

Yes, I told her
about our meeting.

Miss Betsy,
I remember the last time
you had a party here,

you were good enough
to sing for us.

Maybe I
can persuade you again.

Oh, not tonight, I--

She's been
waitin' all evening
for someone to ask her.

Come on.

[ cheering and applause ]

Quite a daughter
you've got there, Henry.

I was about to say
the same thing to you.

I'll drink to that.

Well, that can be arranged.

How you fellas makin' out
on your new spread?

Oh, we're gettin' there.

Anything at all
that we can do to help,
just let us know.

Much obliged.

I'll tell ya something
you can do to help.

What's that?

Tell Trampas
to keep away from Margaret.

Well, that's kinda up to her,
isn't it?

He means on account of Dad.

You see, any cowhand
looks at her twice,

Dad thinks
he's after marryin' her.

Well, what's wrong with that?

[ chuckles ]
Oh, you don't know my father.

Ooh, it's warm in there.

It's a lovely party.

I'm glad you moved here.

Men are all right,
but, you know,

it's nice
to have a girl around
to talk to for a change.

And what's wrong
with talkin' to a fella?

Well, for one thing,
they interrupt when two girls

are trying to have
a very private conversation,

and in the second place--Betsy.

After all,
you are the hostess.

And you wanna talk
to Margaret.

Very bright girl.

Mind like a steel trap.

Well, if you get bored
with him, I'll be inside.

[ exhales deeply ]

Havin' a good time?

Very.

I, uh...
I hope I didn't get you
in trouble the other day.

I got the feeling
your father doesn't like me.

Oh, it isn't you.

He doesn't think
anybody's good enough for me.

Well, I can't argue
that point with him.

Must be kinda tough on you,
though, if he feels that way
about everybody.

He keeps thinking of me
the way I was before I
went away to school.

He can't accept the fact
that I'm old enough

to think for myself
and make my own decisions.

Well, I don't imagine
he's an easy man to argue with.

He's so used
to getting his own way,

he just doesn't
listen to anything
he doesn't wanna hear.

No problem like that
with the judge.

He'll listen real close...
before he over-rules ya.

I shouldn't be talking
this way about Dad.

He's really very nice.

I know...

as long as you
do things his way.

Ah, there you are.
Lots of good music
goin' to waste inside there.

May I have this dance, ma'am?

Certainly.Thank you.

[ clears throat ]

Now why did you
have to come bustin' in here
like that?

Well, it's supposed to be
a get-acquainted party,
isn't it?

Margaret and I
are gonna get acquainted,
that's all.

Say when.

It's your liquor.

You've got
a nice place here, Henry.

You read all those books?

Well, that's what
I bought them for.

This ought to do
for openers.

You travel light.

Well, it's a sign of age.

Here's to those six deputies.

I add one every ten years.

You throw
a good party, Henry.

I have good neighbors.
They make the party.

I guess you heard
I offered to buy
your good neighbors out.

They all turned me down.

Sometimes a man's home
isn't for sale.

Of course,
if you were to side with me...

point out that
with two big outfits
in this part of Wyoming,

the day of the one-family ranch
is about gone, they'd sell.

You wouldn't do that,
would you, Henry?

No, Mike, I wouldn't.

I didn't expect so.

Now what do you mean by that?

You figure if I
don't get their land,

I won't be able to bring
the rest of my herd up
from Texas.

Oh, that's ridiculous.
It's a big territory, Mike.

There's plenty
of other good land
around here

you can buy
without any trouble.

Not as good, not as close.

I want the best, Henry--
right down the line--

not only for myself,
but for Margaret, too.

The ranch I'll put together
will be big enough

to give her the background
she should have

to meet the kind of people
she should meet.

I didn't know
you were such a snob, Mike.

For Margaret, I am.

So, uh...
you think I'm tryin'
to block ya.

Don't get me wrong.

I might have done
the same thing
in your place.

After all,
you've been the number one man
in these parts for a long time.

It isn't gonna stop me,
though.

Now that we
understand each other,
shall we get back to the party?

Not till we
reallyunderstand
each other.

Oh, I gave
those men advice, yes,

but only to do
what they wanted to.

I also told them I thought
you were too big a man

to threaten people
who aren't big enough
to fight back.

Those weren't threats.
They were statements of fact.

Come bad times,
a dry spell--

I can dump my beef
below cost and stay alive.

One or two bad years--
they're out of business.

You're willing
to wait for that?

I won't have to.

The more they think about it,

the better my money's
going to look to them.

Well, meanwhile,
can I tell them
no rough stuff?

Is that good enough
for you?

I guess you're wondering
if I'm getting soft

or if I've got a joker
up my sleeve, aren't ya?

[ chuckles ]

You could make
a pretty good living
as a mind reader.

I didn't come up here
to buy trouble.

I'd like you to believe that.

Besides, why should I
throw my weight around

when I'm going to get
what I'm after anyway?

Mark my words, Henry,
sooner or later,

it's got to be just Shiloh
and the Circle T.

And after that?

We'll cross that bridge
when we come to it.

[ door closes ]

[ grunting ]

Well, that's what I call
a real good party...

until you came along.

Well, I didn't want ya
to get stuck with anybody
so fat and ugly.

[ chuckles ]
She sure slimmed down,
didn't she?
Yeah.

Hey, that's what
I like about you, Trampas.

You can believe
every word you say.

What's the matter, Steve?
Didn't the hair tonic
work for ya?

It worked fine,
just like you said.

It drew flies.

Oh, I forgot.

You also have to have
a sparklin' personality,

pearly white teeth,
and be a real good dancer.

Hmm. Old man Tyrone
seemed to have
a pretty good time, too.

Yeah, I guess
the judge was right.

All it took was a steak
and a couple of drinks.

Mm, I'm sleepy.

I'm gonna go get
something to eat.

You're always hungry.

Good night.

Good night, Maggie.

Well, I don't get it, Pa.

It seems to me,
all you done since we got here

is back down to Judge Garth.

We'll tangle,
sooner or later,

but only once...

because when we bump heads,

you'll hear the noise
for quite a distance.

When it happens,
I want it to be the right time,
the right place...

over something
I can't handle any other way...

because, like I said,
it'll only happen once.

Hey, I got company.

What do you mean,
yougot company?

All right, we got company.

Betsy come to see you,
and Margaret--

come to see me.

Howdy.

Hi!

What brings you girls
all the way out here?

Well, I was showing
Maggie the ranch,

and it was such a lovely day,
we just kept on riding.

Lovely day?
You seen them clouds?

Oh, that won't be here
for hours.

Besides,
who minds a little rain?

You know better than that.

Ten, twelve inches of rain
in an hour. Flash floods.

Well, you're still here,
aren't you?

We get paid for it.

Well, since you
asked us so nicely to stay
and visit a while...

Betsy, perhaps we
better start back.

Well, you've come this far.
A few more minutes won't hurt.

All right.
Besides, my horse
could use a breather.

Hey, what are you doing?

Fixin' up the line shack.

In case I ever decide
to get married,

have me
a jim-dandy honeymoon cottage.

Well, what are all
the girls in town gonna do
if you get married?

Well, after they finish cryin',
they'll probably have to go out
with Trampas.

Be a big let down for them,
though.

First time I seen you
since the party.

Did you have a good time?

Wonderful.

Um...

they're havin' a barn dance
in town next Sunday night.

They're pretty good fun
sometimes.

Think your father
would let you go with me?

I don't know.

If you want to, that is.

I think it's a fine idea.

Good.

[ thunderclap ]

Better head back for Shiloh.

I better get back home.

Dad would worry
if I didn't show up.

Well, I'll take Maggie home,
then I'll get on home.

No, you won't.

Your father
would skin me alive

if I let you get caught
in a cloud burst alone.

You better go with Bets.

I'll ride Margaret
back to her place.

Funny how you
just thought of that.

It just came to me.

[ thunderclap ]

Gee, I'm sorry, Maggie.
I didn't realize
we were getting out so far.

That's all right.
A little rain will feel good
for a change.

Well, I'll see ya later.
Take it easy.Bye-bye.

Whoa.

You ride pretty good.

Everyone does in Texas.

Hold that.
They ride like this?

[ horse whinnies ]

Are you all right?

Yeah, it's my ankle.

Is it broken?

I don't know.

No reason I can't ride,
though, once I get up.

Ugh.

[ thunderclap ]

[ horse whinnies ]

Oh, no!

Oh, fine. Fine!

Well, I guess
I'm gonna have to walk.

Can you make it over there?
Get out of the rain?

Yeah.

[ thunderclap ]

[ groaning ]

[ continues groaning ]

Let me see your ankle.

Yeah, if I can just get
this boot off.

[ groaning ]

Ahh.

Well, I don't think
it's broken.

[ whistles ]

If we only had something
to wrap it with.

[ thunderclap ]

This might do.

Yeah.

I'll try not to hurt you.

That's all right.

Is that too tight?

No.

[ thunderclap ]

That's just fine.

Now if I can get
the boot back on...

Ugh.

[ exhales deeply ]

[ thunderclap ]

Don't worry about a thing,
I said.

I'll get her back
to the ranch.

Well, I sure
fixed everything up fine.

You couldn't help it.

Well, I didn't
have to go showin' off.

Anyway,
there's nothing to worry about.

Somebody will find us.

They'll have to do
a lot of lookin'.

That rain will wash away
the train in two minutes.

[ thunderclap ]

Well, they know
where we left from

and they know
where we're heading for.

All they have to do
is follow the same route.

Except for one thing.

What's that?

I was takin' a shortcut.

Oh.

Oh.

Better get in
the hot tub, Bets.

You think Trampas and Maggie
got caught in it, too?

Well, she said she wanted
a little rain for a change.

She got her wish.

Well, they must have
got caught in the rain
and took shelter somewhere.

At 9:00 at night
to get out of a little rain?

Nonsense.

Maybe they went to Shiloh
when they saw the storm coming.

She'll probably turn up
in the morning.

Probably turn up
in the morning.

Is that all you
care about your sister?

Well, I don't know
what else I can do to show
my undying affection.

You can tell Rudd
to get our horses saddled.

We're going to Shiloh
to find out.

At this hour?

If they're not there,

Garth might be thinking
they both came here.

We could waste
a whole night sitting around
while they're in trouble.

Pa's right.
Come on, let's go.

I still think
you'll find her fast asleep
when you get there,

but I'm goin'.

It's letting up a little.

Good.

I'm afraid this is all the wood
I could find in here.

Maybe I
can find some outside--

No, no, it's too wet.
It'll smoke us out.

Where are you going?

Find my old cave.

I don't think anybody
will get to us before morning.

There are no other caves.

Besides, you're as wet as I am.
Stay by the fire.

Well, I thought Trampas
spent the night at your ranch
after taking Margaret home.

She went off with Betsy.
They didn't say anything
about meeting Trampas.

They just happened
to run into us.

When I saw the storm coming,
I thought it would be safer
for the girls if we split up.

You're not intimating
that the meeting with Trampas
was deliberately arranged.

If I was sure of that,
I wouldn't be beating around
the bush.

Well, is that
what you think?

I think that
the first thing we better do
is find my daughter.

Get the men up.

Yes, sir.

Can you take us
where you met them?

The number four line shack.

[ door closes ]

You want some hot coffee
before we go?

Let's not waste anymore time.

Let's go.

I trust you were telling
the truth about the meeting
with Trampas being accidental.

Yes, I was telling the truth.

Good.

Your family's
gonna be worried about you.

Why did I have to try
such a fool stunt?

Stop blaming yourself.

Betsy and I shouldn't
have gone this far out
in the first place.

Well, we could pretend
we're on a picnic...

if we had some food.

What'd you have
to mention food for?

I'm starved.

Me, too.

How would you like
a big, juicy steak
about that thick?

Smothered in onions--
Stop.

And some fried potatoes.
Do you like mashed potatoes?

Stop that.
Stop, I can't stand it!

I loved mashed potatoes.
Stop.

And some green beans
and topped off with apple pie.

A big slice of apple pie
with cheese on it, huh?

[ both laugh ]

No, Trampas.

I'm sorry.

I think this is my day
to make mistakes.

I like you, Trampas.
It's just that--

Yeah, I know.
This isn't the time
or the place.

That isn't what
I was going to say.

Oh.

I do like you...

and I know you're
not trying to take advantage

of the fact that we're
out here together alone.

I just don't like you
in that way.

I see.

[ sighs ]

It's not much
of an explanation,
is it?

It'll do.

Please don't be angry.

I need a friend.

I may need one very much.

Sure. Well, it looks like
it stopped rainin'.

MARGARET:
There's a break in the clouds.

Maybe it's an omen.

Yeah.

Margaret!

Dad!

You must have been so worried.

Leave us alone.

Dad, you don't think that--

I wanna talk to him
before the others get here.

I won't leave.

Don't worry.
I'm not gonna lay a hand
on him.

Go ahead.

I'm sorry about this,
Mr. Tyrone, but my horse--

Only one thing
I have to say to you, boy.

If I ever hear you
mention my daughter's name,

I'll kill you.

Now wait a minute.
You got the wrong idea.

I'm not interested
in anything you have to say,
cowboy.

Only what you don't say.

Remember that.

You all right?

Yes.

Signal the others.
I'll take you home.

No, stop it!
Let go of me.

Stay out of it.

You lied to me.
You told me you
wouldn't hurt him.

I didn't speak
for your brothers.

[ horse whinnies ]

Here they come.

[ groaning ]

There was no reason for that.

Don't waste your sympathy.
He's getting off lucky.

Why?
What do you think he did?

Now Margaret--

Tell me.

What do you
think happened last night?

Nothing.
I know you better than that,
but others don't.

That's why he deserves a beating
for letting my daughter's name

be open to whispers
and barroom jokes.

That's very important to you,
isn't it?

The sanctity
of the Tyrone name.

I'm not blaming you.
It wasn't your fault.

That's very generous of you.

What happened?

[ sighs ]

My horse fell with me,
and I sprained my ankle.

They spooked from the thunder
and ran away.

We had to hole up
in that cave there
till somebody come along.

That's not how you got
that cut on your lip, is it?

No.

Which one?

I can handle it...

as soon as the ankle
gets better.

Well, you think
you can ride all right?

May need a little help
gettin' on.

[ groans ]

[ groans ]

Ready?

Margaret!

You really gave us a scare.

Betsy get back all right?

Yes, she's all right,
but whatever happened
to you and Trampas?

His horse fell,
and he hurt his ankle.

I'm sorry
I caused so much trouble.

Well, as long
as you're all right.

Let's go home.

You take Tom's horse.
He can double up with Kevin.

What's the matter?

I don't know.

Suddenly I feel kind of--
I guess I took a chill.

Maybe I better take her
back to Shiloh.

It's much closer
than your ranch and--

That won't be necessary.

I think I'd rather.

Kevin.

Ride with your sister to Shiloh.

Come on, Maggie.

She'll be all right.
A good night's sleep--

That boy Trampas--
I don't want him
to see her again.

Well, he's a good boy, Mike.

Do I have your word
or do I have to--

I'll see he stays away
from the main house
as long as she's there.

Hello, Mr. Tyrone.

Good morning, Betsy.

Won't you come in?

How's Maggie?

Just fine.

I waited an extra day
before coming for her.

I thought
she could use the rest.

Well,
I guess maybe you're right.

She hasn't come out of her room
yet this morning.

I'll tell her you're here.
Daddy's in the study.

[ knock at door ]

Come in.

Good morning, Henry.

Hello, Mike.

How is she?

Didn't even catch cold.

Well,
that's the beauty of youth.

A little hot food,
a little sleep--
you bounce right back.

What do you mean,
a little sleep?

Betsy said
she isn't even up yet.

Well, I'll amend that--
a lot of sleep.

I'm sorry I was
a little hot under the collar
the last time I saw you.

Oh, that's all right, Mike.

I know you think I keep
too tight a rein on her.

Oh, well...

Sometimes when I look at her,
it's like looking in a mirror.

Other times,
she's a complete stranger.

I guess
I just don't understand her.

Well, she's a woman.

We were closer
when she was a girl.

Maybe that's because
her mother was there
to act as peace maker when--

[ door opens ]

Morning. Judge.

Say, did you
send Trampas off anywhere?

You know I wouldn't do that
without telling you. Why?

Well, he was gone
when I got up this morning.
Took two horses with him.

That's funny.
That doesn't sound
like Trampas.

She's not here.

What do you mean?
You said she wasn't up yet.

Well, I thought she wasn't,

but, well, her bed
wasn't slept in last night.

What?!
Are you sure?

Yes.

She ran away with him.

I left her here
in your care,

and you let her
run away with him!

I'm sorry, Mike.

Don't tell me you're sorry.
You've been fighting me
ever since I got here.

Mike, I couldn't
have stopped them
if I'd known about it.

After all,
they're both over 21.

You'll pay for this.

Mark my words,
you'll pay for this.

You'd think Trampas
would have got in touch
with somebody by now.

With Tyrone after him,
he'd be crazy to get in touch
with anybody.

Heard Mike
called off the search.

Yeah.

You know,
I don't like to say it,

but I was sure surprised
the way Trampas acted.

I never thought
he'd be the kind

to go sneakin' off
in the middle of the night
like that.

I'd have bet even money
he'd been man enough
to stand right up to Tyrone.

You know, if he was
that serious about Margaret.

Guess you never know
what a man will do
until the time comes.

Probably her idea.

She probably
talked him into it.

Sure.

♪♪

[ hits off chord ]

I don't think I recognize
that last chord.

What are you trying to do?
Have a fight with the piano?

[ sighs ]
I'm not mad at the piano.

Well, that's good to hear,
considering how much it cost
to have it tuned.

I'm mad
at Trampas and Maggie.

Well, none of us
are too happy about the way
things worked out.

The least they could have done
was have a big wedding

with flowers and music and--

Bridesmaids.

Well, that would have been fun.

I guess they thought Mr. Tyrone
would never stand for it.

Ifthey thought at all.

Well, in a way,
it's Mr. Tyrone's fault.

If he hadn't been
so dead set against Trampas...

No, he did what he thought
was best for his daughter.

You wouldn't act that way
about me.

If I fell in love,
you wouldn't go around

hollering and storming
the way he did.

Well, I'd try not to.

However, if you have in mind
one of those young,
brainless nincompoops

I see buying you phosphates
in town every now and then,

you might hear
quite a bit of storming
and hollering.

Daddy,
they're just silly boys.

My guess is they'll
grow up to be silly young men.

You know what?
I'll bet some girl's father
said that about you once.

No bet.

[ chuckles ]

Look at that.

STEVE: There's still plenty
of snow up above the falls.
I don't get it.

I think I do.
Let's get back.

I've been expecting something
but--

did you follow the stream
all the way up?

No, sir, I thought we better
check in with you first

and pick up some of the hands,
in case we had some trouble.

I hope you're wrong but--

Don't you think
you ought to let the boys
and us handle it?

Why? You think I'm getting
too old to run my own ranch?

No.

Hello?

Anybody here?

Trampas!

What's goin' on anyway?

Well, that's a fine question
coming from you.

There's nobody at the Circle T.
Nobody's here.

Where is everybody?

Up at the falls.
I think there's trouble.

Hey, where's Maggie?
What'd you two do?

I'll explain later.

Well, you'd better!

MIKE:
Take a good look, gentlemen.

It's the last time
you'll be up here.

You're trespassing on my land!

You have no right
to dam up that water.

We're not gonna stand for it.
You understand?

You'll stand for it--
you and Garth
and the whole valley.

You'll watch your cattle die

until I'm ready
to buy you out...

at any price.

[ horses approaching ]

Let's see how tough you are
when the odds are even.

I was wonderin'
when he'd show up.

Glad you're here, Henry.

Mike, you can't get away
with this.

You're on my land.

You'll find the deed on file
at the county clerk's office.

I don't care who owns the land,
the water belongs to all of us.

You don't know much
about the law, Judge.

It says the owner of the source
can divert it to his own use.
That's what I've done.

Well, you ask your lawyers

to explain about
the interpretation
of that law--

the part called "intent."

You have no valid need
of this water.

You can't farm up here.
You can't graze up here.

That'll be something
for the courts to decide.

Well, you know
how they'll decide!

I know, too, they'll be some
mighty thirsty cattle down there
before you get that decision.

So that's it.

You think you can delay it.

My lawyers can, and if they
run out of ideas,

I'll hire some new ones.

We can't wait, Judge--
not a month, not a week.

You're all trespassin'.

You try to rush that dam,
the blood will be on your hands.

That dam is coming down now.

Stay where you are.

It's coming down,
and you're gonna have
to shoot me to stop me.

No, I won't.

I don't need a gun
to handle you.

I never have.

Keep out of this.

Where's Margaret?
Where is she?

This will tell ya.
It's from her.

You better read it.

MARGARET:
By the time you get this,

I will have entered
the novitiate

at the convent
of the Sisters
of the Holy Name.

Please don't think
I took this step in anger.

It is something I have been
thinking about for a long time.

Forgive me
for doing it this way,

but although I love you
and always will,

I could never
have discussed this with you.

Try to be as happy for me
as I am to be here.

You took her to the convent?

Yes, sir, I did.

She asked me to that night.

I thought it was better
than lettin' her
make the ride alone.

TRAMPAS:
You must be very proud of her,
Mr. Tyrone.

I'm sorry.

I guess there's no reason
to fight anymore.

Tear it down.

Thanks, Mike.

All right, men.
Let's get at it.

Well, don't just stand there.
Open up the dam.

Well, I guess
we're just never gonna get
to finish it, Henry.

Maybe it's just as well.

The next time--
fly swatters at ten paces...

from a rocking chair.
