All language subtitles for The Virginian - 2x28 - A Bride for Lars

[ theme song ]

Boys. Boys.

My wife picked this out, Lars,

and she said to tell you

that if you didn't treat
this new bride of yours right,

that she wouldn't
have to go back to Sweden;

she could just use this on ya.

[ both laugh ]

Don't worry.
She'll never want to go back!

Lars will see to that.

[ both laugh ]

To the best darn governor
in the best darn territory

in the best darn country
in the whole wide world!

[ all cheer ]

Except Sweden!

Except Sweden! Skol!

[ all laugh ]

How long this thing go on?

In Sweden,
it goes on for three days.

Then after the wedding,
three days more.

And they never let up
on this, uh...

what is this stuff again?

Aquavit.
That means the water of life.

Well, it sure isn't water.
I'll tell ya that.

No, but it sure is alive.

[ exhales ]

Uh, how many
has the old boy had anyway?

Don't let him
hear you call him that.

The last man that tried
to drink Lars Holstrum
under the table

is still under it.

I guess now is the time.
Let's take it in.

Yo.

Hey, I'll hold it here.

I got him.

Lars.

You know, nothing
would have kept Judge Garth
from being here today,

except he had to be
back east on business,

but this is from him
and Shiloh for the bride.

[ chuckling ]
Oh!

A queen's saddle
for the Queen of New Upsala!

For Katya!

[ all cheer ]

To Judge Garth--

the best friend
and finest neighbor

any man ever had!

Skol!

[ all cheer ]

Lars!

Ya?

Lars, she's here!

Who?

Your Katya.

You don't need to go
to Laramie for wedding.

They send here here!What?!

Katya?

[ all laugh ]

[ laughs ]

Maria, who put you up to this?

[ laughs ]

Next time I drown you!

[ laughs ]

This time I drown you!

[ all laugh ]

[ all laugh ]

Come, we drink another toast
to Katya!

[ all cheer ]

Maria, you sure look pretty.

Well, thank you.

There's a barn dance tonight.
How 'bout you goin' with me?

No, I'm sorry.
I have a date.

Well, why don't ya break it?

No, thank you.

Uh...

Go ahead. Go ahead.
I still dare you.

Ask him.

You don't think I will, huh?

I don't think you will, no.

All right.

Hey, Lars.
Ya?

How old's this Katya of yours?

Twenty.

All right, all right.

And how old are you, Lars?

Any man here
I can beat at anything!

Do you hear me? Anything!

Hand wrestle.

You think you can beat me?

Oh, no, not me, Lars.

Free-fall!

Who can say he can put down
Lars Holstrum?

No man!

You believe it?

That anvil there.

Who can lift it faster
and higher than Lars?

No man!

Don't do it, Lars.We believe you, Lars.

Nobody!

You'll believe me!

When you see it,
you'll believe it!

Nobody is stronger than Lars!

[ grunts ]

VIRGINIAN: Enough, Lars.
You've made your point.

I say when it's enough!

[ all clamor ]

All right, let it go.

I can't.

I'm stuck.

Wanted to see us, Lars?

Look, not now. Lars--

I see them now.
You get out.

Lars, if you don't rest now
and give that back of yours--

Do you get out
or do I get up
and throw you out?

You go.
That stays.

How's it goin', Lars?

Going? Nothing's going.
Look at me.

[ chuckles ]
A fine bridegroom.

If there's anything at all
we can do, Lars...

I know Judge Garth would--

Why you think
I sent for you three, huh?

If Henry Garth was here,
I ask him to do this thing
for me.

This job only for man's
best friend in the world.

Well, you just name it.

You know what plan was?

I go to Laramie to meet Katya,
her father, and family

when the wagon train
stops on its way to Oregon.

We have wedding then.

After that, the family
goes with wagon train.

I bring Katya back here
as my wife.

Now look at me.

What I have done
for showing off.

Don't worry, Lars.
A little rest--

There is not time.

I want you three
to go to Laramie,

bring my Katya here.

What about her folks?

I have already wrote letter
for you to take to them.

It will tell I cannot come.

But you will help, too.

You will tell them
there is accident--

nothing serious--

that I will marry Katya
as soon as she gets here.

Maybe they will all come, too.

You tell them
everyone is welcome.

If they do not come,
then you three, my friends,

will guard my Katya
and bring her to me.

There's just one problem, Lars.

We're pretty busy
at Shiloh right now.

Spare three of us at one time--
I'm not sure I can work it out.

Well, then one of you can go.

What about one of your own men?

There...
in the closet on the shelf.

The black bag--
bring it.

Open it.

[ whistles ]

One thousand dollars
for Katya's father.

Oh, I get it--
the dowry.

I thought it
was the bride's father
that paid for--

Oh, sorry.

This is not dowry.
This is loan for Gosta Swenson.

I promise him to make it
if he bring whole family
to America.

I do not ask for dowry.

When girl is young
and beautiful as my Katya,

is dowry herself.

No need for dowry.
This is loan.

Sure, Lars. We understand.

You understand--good.

But men that work for me--
most are Swedes.

Maybe they do not understand.

It's better
no one knows of this.

Now which one of you
goes for my Katya?

Oh, I forgot.

Whoever goes,
as small token
of Lars' appreciation,

gets $100 in hand
when my Katya's
delivered here to me.

Oh, well,
that's not necessary, Lars.

It's my pleasure.

Now which one of you goes?

I think I can be spared, Lars.

Uh, you've been running
that head count on Elk Creek.

Seems to me
I'd be more available.

Well, you know,
the Judge was sayin'
just before he left

that he wanted me
to go up to Laramie

and take care
of some business for him.

Oh, now wait a minute.
Wait just a minute.

If there's anybody
who by rights can't leave

when the judge is gone,
it's you.

High man?
High man.

Not your deck.

Got another deck, Lars?

In the dresser--
the top drawer.

Steve, you act
as if you can't trust me.

I don't know where you
ever got that idea, Trampas.

All right.

High man...
between you two.

What about you?

I was only foolin'.
I can't leave, and you know it.

Go ahead, Steve.

Me first, huh?
Yeah.

All right.

Hate to do that to ya, Trampas.

Go ahead.
Won't do ya any good, though.

[ clears throat ]

When do I start?

When? You go right now.

At Laramie you find
Katya Swenson and family
from Upsala

and the Hassler Company Train.

Hassler Company Train, right.

And Trampas...
Hmm?

You bring my Katya safe
and well

and ready for marry up
with Lars,

you get more than $100.
You get friend for life.

If you not bring her
safe and well

and ready for marry up,

you better not come back.

You hear Lars clear?

[ chuckles ]

Good. We have drink.

Yo. Yeah.

Uh, Steve.

Thanks.

Here.

Yo.

One more.

Well--
Me, too.

Oh.

To Katya.

To me is Katya.

To you is Miss Swenson.
You remember that.

To Miss Swenson.

To Miss Swenson.

Yeah.

Have you any idea
where I could find
the Hassler Company Train?

Oh, that's the one
with all the Swedes.That's right.

They're out about a mile
along Horse Tail Creek.

They got in this mornin'.

Well, thank you very much.

Hello, Trampas.
Howdy.

Welcome to Laramie.

Well, how ya been?

You don't remember.

[ chuckles ]
Betty.

Cheyenne.
Summer before last.

Oh. Oh, sure. Sure.
How are ya, Betty?

I'm alive,
if you can call it that--

workin' over there.

It's a nice rig.

Hmm. Thanks.

Remember that one
we rented in Cheyenne?

[ chuckles ]

Come to think of it,
I rented it.

You were broke.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I forgot about that.
Well, let me--

We can talk about that later.

I don't have to be to work
till eight tonight.

Oh. Well, I'd sure
like to see ya Betty,
but, uh...

You gotta see a man.
Business.

Yeah.

All day.

Yeah.

All night?

Yeah.

[ chuckles ] Well,
when you change your mind,

you know where to find me.

Yeah.

Let's go.

[ whistles ]

Hiya!
Come on, bud.

Hey, tell me,
do you know--

is this
the Hassler Company Train?

That's right.

Can you tell me
where I can find a family
called Swensons?

If you ask me,
there's nothin' but Swensons.

Well, this family's
from a place in Sweden
called, uh... uh...

Upsala.

From Upsala?
Yeah.

Gosta Swenson?

That's right.

Well, they are camped
over on the far side there,

just beyond that fork
in the stream.

Thank you very much.

Hey, isn't your name Trampas?

That's right.

Sheriff was talkin' about you
just the other night.

He hasn't forgot
the last time you were here.

[ chuckles ] Well,
that was a long time ago,
friend.

This time if you bring
your own dice into any saloon,

check them at the door
as you go in.

[ both laugh ]

Well, I'll do that.

Come on.

Whoa.

Uh, excuse me, ma'am,
but could you tell me

where I could find
a Miss Swenson?

Did you say Miss Swenson?

For I am Miss Swenson.

Oh.

Uh, my name is--

I am Miss Swenson.

Oh, I--
well, you see--

I am Miss Swenson.

[ all laugh ]

I'm, uh, I'm looking
for Miss Katya Swenson and--

GIRLS: Why?

Uh, I think we better
see your father.

[ all laugh ]

[ all yelling ]

Mr. Swenson.
Mr. Swenson.

Mr. Swenson!

[ yells in Swedish ]

I'm sorry, but we talk lots
because what Lars do is no good.

Lars should come himself.

Well, Mr. Swenson,
like I explained,

Lars intended to,
except for the accident,

and, well,
he's very sorry about that.

Well, still no good.

My daughter go with you?
Stranger?

No, this is not the way
in Sweden.

Well, it's not that way here
either. I'll admit that.

But your daughter will be safe.

You've got the letter
that Lars wrote ya.

He'll vouch for me.

Papa.
Yeah?

[ speaks in Swedish ]

Yah.

Laramie.
You got friends in Laramie?

Friends we can talk to?

Well, sure,

but why
when you've got the letter?

Better yet, Mr. Swenson,
why don't you send
the whole family.

Lars said
they'd be welcome.

No, no, we can't do.

We go with wagon train
tomorrow morning.

Uh, Mr. Swenson.
Yeah?

Lars is really in love
with your daughter,

and he's prepared to give her
everything he's got,

and that's practically half
of Wyoming.

Still no good.

You got wife?

No, sir.

You got girl
you promise marry?

No, well, not exactly.

[ speaks in Swedish ]

Yah.

You go to church?

Yes, sir, regularly.

Every Easter when I'm near one.

No, we, uh,
we can't say now.

Tomorrow morning
we let you know.

All right, I'll be
bedded down in the grove there
near the stream.

Good night. Good night.

Miss Swenson. Miss Swenson.
Miss Swenson.

[ speaks in Swedish ]

Pardon me?

He says, "Only on Easter?"

Yeah.

[ all yelling ]

Do ya hear me?

You do not threaten me,
and you do not threaten
my father.

Is that clear to you?

It is to you
things are not clear.

You do not believe
I make warning.

Now you will listen to me.

You will let me go
and leave here now.

GIRLS: I am Miss Swenson.
I am Miss Swenson.
I am Miss Swenson.

LARS: You bring my Katya
safe and well

and ready for marry up
with Lars,

you get friend for life.

I am Miss Swenson.

Mr. SWENSON:
Well, it's no good.
My daughter go with you?

I am Miss Swenson.

BETTY: That's a nice rig.

I don't have to be to work
until eight.

MAN: Sheriff was talkin'
about you just the other night.

I am Miss Swenson.

LARS: To me is Katya.

To you is Miss Swenson.
You remember that.

I am Miss Swenson.

[ mumbling in sleep ]

I am here, Mr. Trampas.
I'm here and ready.

Take me.

Uh-huh.

[ chuckles ]
You were dreaming, no?

Y--yeah, I'm not--
I'm not dreamin' now,
though, am I?

Oh, not unless I am, too, no.

I'm here and ready for you
to take me to Lars Holstrum.

Oh.

Well, what about your folks?
Your father?

Oh, with my father
it will be all right.

I've left a note.

Oh, well, you sure
nobody else is gonna object,

like, uh,
like the sheriff or, uh...

like the sheriff?

Is it you who are afraid
of this journey, Mr. Trampas?

No. No, ma'am.

Well, it's just that
I don't want any posse
after me for kidnapping.

Oh, you won't have.

I have made a decision,
and when I decide,

my father knows that nothing
will change my mind.

Now can we go?
I'd love to be traveling
by sunrise.

Sure.

Uh, where's your luggage?

There.

That's all?

Yeah.

Well...

Would you stop a moment?

What?

Would you stop?

Whoa. Whoa now. Whoa.

Oh. Say, that's something,
isn't it?

Well, that's just about
the prettiest view
I've ever seen.

Matter of fact,
I might say theprettiest.

Would you please be quiet.

The only way to really
feel what is beautiful

is to treasure it in silence.

My grandfather taught me that
when I was seven.

Bully for your grandfather.

[ exhales ]

All right, now we go.

Thank you.

Up, son.

You saw them
ride out of town together?

Miss Swenson and that--
that cowboy?

Must have been some time
around midnight.

Why did you not stop them?

Because it was none
of my business.

You're still angry.
I'm sorry.

You will soon learn
that I'm one girl

who does what she wants
and says what she thinks.

I always have been,
and I always intend to be.

You do, huh?

I do.

Tell me--how long
have you known Lars Holstrum?

And what does that mean?

Nothin'. Forget that I asked.

Oh, and what is it
you call this?

Jerky.

[ chuckles ]
It's dried beef.

You're sure?

I knew the cow.

[ both laugh ]

You see,
when you're on the range
for three or four days,

you may not have time
to fix yourself a picnic basket
full of goodies.

[ chuckles ]

Oh, don't worry.

You won't have to eat jerky
when you get to Lars' place.

He's got a great cook.

You're a good friend to Lars?

Well, let's just say
we're friends.

Judge Garth--my boss--
and he are old friends.

Oh, yeah.

After all,
you are much younger than Lars.

He's a great fella.

Your boss?

No, Lars.

He's just about as big a man
as there is in the territory.

[ chuckles ]
Oh, he is big for sure.

I meant important.

Wait till ya see
that spread of his.

There's no better layout
north of Cheyenne,
except for Shiloh,

and that ranch house of his--

not only did he
bring things from Sweden,

he's got things there
from London, New York,

Paris, France--
all over.

Yeah, and he's
a generous man, too.

He knows how to spend
what he's got.

You should've seen
the way he treated
his first three wives.

They got the finest tombstones
in Medicine Bow Cemetery.

Oh, and that
is very reassuring?

Oh, no. What I'm trying
to say is, uh...

I know what you
are trying to say,
and I thank you.

Well, he's a nice fella.

Any girl would be lucky
to get him.

I am sure you're right...

and, uh, how many wives
have you had, Mr. Trampas?

Me?

Yeah.

Look, ma'am,

I made up my mind
to one thing a long time ago.

There's not a girl born
who will hogtie me
into gettin' hitched.

Oh, you do not like girls then?

Like them? I love them--
all of them.

I guess I go for the brown-eyes,
black-hair type.

[ chuckles ]
They speak my language.

Oh, and what language is that?

Well, that's just an expression.

I mean...

I think I know what you mean.

You must be great friend
to Lars...

for him to ask you
to make such sacrifice--

this long trip
away from your own work.

Well, Lars has a way
of persuadin' people
to do what he wants,

but I guess you know that.

I know very well.

Besides, we're dippin' steers
at Shiloh this week.

Dipping steers?

Yeah, we swab them
with kerosene and creosote.

Yeah, it's a dirt, stinkin' job.

Fella do most anything
to get out of that job.

[ whistles ]
Up, son. Hiya.

Oh?

What is it?

Indians.

They were here last night.

Can you handle this?

I have hunted
with my grandfather
since I was ten.

Well, keep it handy--
just in case.

I still do not understand.

Lars told us that Indians here

were friendly
and on reservations.

Well, generally they are,
but a bunch busted loose
last month,

and from what I hear,
they're causin' trouble.

And what did you do to them
to make them behave so?

What do ya mean?

I have read in Sweden
of how you treat the Indians
in this country.

You take their lands
and when the object,

you shoot them down
like animals.

Well, even an animal
when he is treated with
kindness and firmness instead--

Miss Swenson, I'm not interested
in Swedish theories on Indians.

Now if you wanna keep
both of our scalps,
you'll keep that thing handy.

I'm gonna take a look
over there on that ridge.

Yeah, Mr. Trampas.

And try and stay awake.

Brown eyes and black hair,
indeed.

[ gunshot ]

Miss Swenson!

Miss Swenson!

You were calling me?

Not bad gun.

Swedish gun is better,
of course, but not bad.

Uh, for supper maybe
instead of jerky.

I thought you were
shootin' at an Indian.

I shoot at no Indian.
I shoot at rabbit.

Oh, you're difficult man
to please, Mr. Trampas.

Now, look, Miss Swenson,
just get in the wagon
and stay there.

That's too bad that
when Lars Holstrum sent man
to my father,

he could not find one
that was not afraid
of his own shadow.

Hey! Hold it!

What are you doin'?

Is that how you drive a team
in Sweden?

And what's wrong with it?

Nothin', if you don't care
where you're goin'

or how long
it takes to get there.

Here, let me show ya.

Now the main thing
in drivin' a team
is to be firm.

My old man said a horse
is like a woman.

You gotta let them know
who's boss.

Your old man said that?

Yeah, and I'm not interested
in what your grandfather said.

Just listen.

I am listening.

Now when you
wanna go to the right,

take this line right here
and pull it right to ya
like that.

Same thing if you
wanna go left.

Just pull it
to your right here like that.

Not out here somewhere.
Gentle but firm.

Gentle but firm?
Yeah, Mr. Trampas?

Now when you wanna stop them,

take both lines right here--
pull them to ya evenly.

When they stop, let up.

You don't go jerkin'
on one of them

'cause you'll hurt
the horses mouth.

You understand?

I think so.

Another thing about a horse--

if you're not afraid of him
and you like him,
he can sense it.

Like a man?

That's right.

And if you are afraid of him
and you don't like him,
he can sense that, too.

Think ya understand?

I think so.
Shall I try now?

Yeah.

Oh, wait a minute. Here.

Hold them like this.

Put your finger through here
like that, see?

Now you can take up
on the slack.

Got it?

Like this?

Yeah.

All right.

Oh, yeah, that is much better.

Anytime.

Make a right in here.

Bring them up a little more.

Whoa.

Well, here we are.

This is about a safe
a place as we can find
to spend the night.

Spend the night?

We spend the night here?

Yep.

Well, there's no town?
No hotel?

Sure there is.
Right over there.

About 40 miles
as the crow flies.

Of course,
if you want real class,

there's the Diller House
in Silver Springs.

It's got one room
and a bath.

The bridal suite.

And that's about
60 miles that way.

You mean, do we--
just the two of us?

Oh. It would seem to me
that in the note to my father,

there was one or two points
that Lars Holstrum
neglected to mention.

Now, look, Miss Swenson,
if you mean what
I think you mean...

well, you're as safe with me
as you would be if that
grandfather of yours was here.

Oh, and if I do not wish
to sleep here?

That's easy.
You can stay awake.

Look, let's understand
each other once and for all.

We are two people who are
where we are right now

because--because it
worked out that way, right?

Right.

And the fact
that you're a girl
and I'm a man is just, uh...

well, that has nothing
to do with it.

Absolutely nothing.

And if I could've
gotten there in one day,
I would have been glad of it,

and so would've you.

But we couldn't,
so we have to put up
with things--

As they are,
whether we like it or not.

Yeah. So let's get busy.
Can you build a fire?

I've been camping
with my grandfather--

Since you were six,

and he taught you
how to build a fire
since you were four.

Well, you can prove it.

I'll get some gear out of here
and rustle up some grub.

Grub?

Supper.

You think you're going
to cook the supper?

Now wait a minute,
Mr. Trampas.

You build the fire.
That is man's work.

The cooking--
that is--

I know, I know.

We're forgetting that
you're man and I am girl,

but not until after supper,
yeah?

The fire, please.

I'll get some water.

[ exhales ]

Well, I can say one thing.

Lars sure knows
what he's doin'.

You're a better cook
than the one he's got.

You're too kind.

What is it like, Mr. Trampas?

I mean, what is it really like?

What's what like?

To be cowboy.

Never before have I
really talked to one,
like this I mean.

Oh, in Sweden,
we read much about men
like you

who are quick with the gun
and with the fist

and how this whole vast land
is your kingdom.

But how is it really
to live such life?

Well...

[ chuckles ]
That's funny.

I guess nobody's
ever asked me that before.

I never even asked myself.

There is an answer--
an old one.

A cowboy is somebody
who has to love three things--

dust, horses, and women...
when he can find them.

[ chuckles ]

Uh, well, that's not
what you mean, is it?

No.

Well, I don't know.

I guess it's a job mostly.
Keeps ya workin'.

But still you're free.

When I'm workin' my horse
on the range

on a night like, uh...
well, like this,

it's, uh...
it's like it's my own world.

Yah. Your own lonely world.

[ thunderclap ]

Lightning!

It will not rain?

No, not here.

It's off to the north
in those mountains.

Lot of them
this time of the year.

Oh, it reminds me
of the aurora.

Have you ever seen them?
The Northern Lights?

Once when I was up Canada way.

We have them often in Sweden.

Ever since I am little girl,
I have seen them.

I wish I had not remembered.

In all my life,
I have never been more
than 20 miles from Upsala.

Always so safe, so sure.

And then Lars
come from America,

and he talk to me,
to my sisters, to my family.

Oh, his dreams
make ours seem so small.

It is impossible
to say no to Lars.

[ sighs ]

So here we are--
all of us in America,
thousands of miles from home.

And me--
I'm here in some canyon

where perhaps no one
has ever been before.

Alone.

Well, I wouldn't
exactly say alone.

Oh, well,
you know what I mean.

Well, you'll feel different
when you get to Lars' place.

Well, it's time we bedded down.

I beg your pardon?

Get some sleep.
You'll be needin' some.

Here.

Between these two blankets
and that buffalo robe,
you'll be plenty warm.

And you?
Where do you sleep?

I won't be asleep.
I'll be right here.

Sweden. America.

Thank you very much.

Don't you peek.

[ chuckles ]

[ chuckles ]

[ coyote howls ]

What was that?

Coyote.

[ animal growls ]

What was that?

That was probably a cougar.

Nah, probably a bobcat.

[ animal growls ]

No, no, that was a cougar.

[ animal yelps ]

That sounds like a wolf.

Probably not a wolf at all.

Probably some Injun.

[ animal noises ]

[ noises continue ]

[ making animal noise ]

[ laughs ]

[ makes animal noise ]

Did you like that?

[ makes animal noise ]

[ animal noises ]

Hold on.

[ noises continue ]

It is Indians.

I'm making with a joke
and they're all around me.

Here.
Keep this right beside ya.

Where are you going?

I'm not going anywhere,
and neither are you.

Chances are
they haven't seen us.

That shot of yours a while ago
has got them on the prowl.

Now there's no point
in both of us stayin' awake.
I'm used to this.

I'll stay guard,
and you get some sleep.

Now go on.
Go on. Get some sleep.

Just keep that thing handy.

Miss Swenson!

Miss Swenson!

In here.

Where?

Over here.

Good morning.

Where did you find her?

Oh, I didn't. She found me.
She woke me up.

And you--
I don't think a herd of buffalo

could have waken Mr.
All-Night-Guard.

Would you like some milk?

Arapaho markings.

Did you see this brand?

I saw it.

Ten to one this cow
belongs to one of those ranches
that was burned out.

So?

So? So this cow
now belongs to those Indians,

and you can bet
they'll be lookin' for her.

Come on.

Come on where?

We're gettin' out of here.

Are you trying to tell
a Swedish girl

that when she finds a cow
that needs to be milked,

she's not going to milk it?

Look, look...

Dumbom.

I don't know what it means,
but that's good.

Well, I think that's the word
you were looking for.

Well, maybe it's someone else
that is the dumbom.

Now would you please
go eat the breakfast
I've prepared.

I am busy.

There's a trapper's cabin
on the other side
of that ridge.

I'm goin' over there
and see if they'll ride
the rest the way with us.

You and your... friend
stay here. Understand?

Yah, general.
Anything you say, general.

Brunhilde and I
will stay right here.

Who?

Brunehilde.

I still think you
should have some milk.

Look...

Sorry, ma'am.

Miss Swenson!

Miss Swenson!

Now you do that till the butter
gets thick like that, you see?

Oh, you got back?

What are you doin' here?

Oh, how, how.

We're leavin' now
while we got a chance.

But I'm not finished.

Now to keep the butter--

We're leavin' now!

Of course, it is very important
that you keep the butter--

I said now!
Oh!

Not your woman.

Sure. Sure she is.
She's my, uh, my squaw.

What?!
Shh!

Um, you squaw of big chief?

I Grey Teal.
Wife of Raven Wing--
number one chief.

Oh, well, uh...

maybe Grey Teal wise
to let me take my squaw back

before Raven Wing comes

and before he sees
how pretty she is.

May make trouble
for all you squaws
with your braves.

What? Me make trouble?

Shh. Never mind,
just be quiet.

Uh, taking squaw now
to see her father.

Father big chief
in white man's army.

Uh, how or good-bye.

Now thank you, ladies,
and you keep that.

That's buttermilk.
It's very good.
Now you keep that.

Come on, I said now!
Come on, woman.

How dare you say
that I'm your woman!

You're lucky
to get out of there
with your hair!

If those braves found out
you were there

and I was takin' you
to Lars Holstrum,

they'd hold you up for a ransom
even Lars couldn't pay!

Well, if Grey Teal believes me
instead of you, they will know!

What does that mean?

Before you
came charging in there,

Grey Teal had asked me
where I'm going.

You told her?!

Well, of course I told her!

Oh, well, you're some help!
You're a lot of help!

When that chief
finds that out,

believe me,
he'll be on our trail.

He'll be after us!

Oh, I don't believe you!

And besides,
what can I possibly fear

when my father
is now general in the army

and I am squaw of man
who is valiant enough

to come charging into teepee
full of women,

brandishing his revolver?

How'd I know
those braves were gone?

They were probably
on another raid.

Oh, true.
How were you to know?

But I cannot say
I was surprised.

After all,
it was my grandfather
that said when I was ten--

there is one kind of man
who is only a man
with a weapon in his hand.

My father told me
a few things about women, too.

I guess that's why I go
for black hair and brown eyes.

Ha!

Ooh!

[ speaking Indian ]

Lars Holstrum.

Lars Holstrum?

[ speaks Indian ]

Red Wolf Creek's
about a mile or two ahead.

We'll be at Lars' place
before sundown.

Still not talkin', huh?

Maybe I should've
left you back there
with your Indian friends.

One scalp more or less--
what's the difference?

Particularly when that scalp
has blond hair instead of black!

Whoa.

Hold up here. Whoa.

Whoa.

MISS SWENSON: What is it?

Nester's cabin.

Maybe they'll ride
the rest the way with us.

Are you still worried
about those Indians?

You bet I am.

You wait in the wagon.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Hello?

[ Miss Swenson screams ]

Ooh!

What happened?

You will please never mind.

You hurt your ankle, huh?

Well, don't try and walk on it.
Let me give you a hand.

Oh! Ooh, go punch a cow!

[ chuckles ]

Oh, what you doing?!
What you doing?!

Oh!

If you're so concerned
about the ankle,

perhaps you should bandage it.

You can see a doctor
when you get into town.

Yah! Come on!

Well, there it is--
Red Wolf Creek.

Oh, it looks so cool.

And how much farther
to Lars Holstrum?

Oh, a couple hours, I guess.

Good. Then I bathe here.

You what?

I Bathe.

You think I would meet Lars
with half the dust in Wyoming
on me?

Well, you can't.
I mean, you just--

well, you can't.

And why not?

I will be beyond the trees.

And you are such gentlemen.

I know you will stay here.

[ chuckles ]

I mean, well, there's a lot
of travel on this road.

What if somebody
were to come by?

Then you will keep them away
until I am done.

Mr. Trampas.

What now?

This is wonderful!

When I finish,
you must come in.

Just hurry up, will ya?

[ chuckles ]

Always in a hurry.

It's disease with you Americans.

[ horses approaching ]

Hey, uh, somebody's comin'.

Oh?

Who is it?

How do I--I don't know!

Well, keep them away
until I am done.

Howdy.

What's the big idea?

You can't go down there
right now.

We can't what?

The stream--

uh, you can't
go down there right now.

Look, friend,
are you tryin' to say

we can't take these horses
over to that stream?

Uh, the horses, yeah,
but you men, uh-uh.

Now who do you figure
is gonna stop us?

[ chuckles ]

Well, uh, look,
let me level with ya.

You see, there's somebody
down there and they're...

takin' a bath.

Takin' a bath?

That's right, and they
don't wanna be disturbed
until they're through.

Well, look,
put yourself in my place.

I mean, suppose you're
travelin' with someone--
a woman, your mother--

and she sees a stream,
and she wants to freshen up
in it.

So she freshens up in it,
and doesn't wanna be disturbed
until she's through.

You mean
your mother's down there?

[ chuckles ]
Uh...

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

That's your mother?

[ chuckles ]
Well, now I--no.

I didn't exactly, um...

Oh, it is so lovely
a stream.

Even in Sweden,
I've never swam in lovelier.

You will bathe now,
Mr. Trampas?

Believe me,
it will make you a new man.

Now, look,
I'm takin' this girl
to see Lars Holstrum.

Holstrum?
That's right.

And if any harm
should come to this girl
before I get her there,

they'd have Lars to answer to.

That is nice horse,
Mr., uh...

Harkness, ma'am.

Mr. Harkness.

Is he for sale?

He might be
for the right person,
if the price is right.

For instance?

Well, if the person
was you...

$50.

He is sound?

See for yourself.

How old is he?

Well...

Five, maybe six?

That's right, ma'am.

[ chuckles ]
My grandfather--

he owns livery stable
in Upsala.

Sold.

Come,
I will get you the money.

Hey!

Where'd you get that?

Well, I don't think
that's any concern of yours.

Fifty dollars.

What about
a bill of sale?

In dealing with gentlemen,

such formalities
are unnecessary.

We better get goin'.

I will ride my own horse.

Uh, without a saddle?

You think I cannot?

Get in.

Hmm!

If you need
any help gettin' her there,
I could spare a few men.

Don't bother.

There must have been
over a thousand dollars
in that bag.

Koerner,
you stay with the herd.

That was
the brightest trick yet.

You might as well
have opened up the money
and counted it for them!

If you're so afraid,
why did you take this job
in the first place?

That's easy--
for a hundred dollars.

Lars paid ya?

He will if I
ever get ya there,

and believe me,
he got a bargain.

So you're nothing
but a paid messenger boy--

delivering me for a price
like a sack of beans.

That's right,
and I intend to make sure
the beans get there.

No thanks to you.

Probably the best thing
I could do for Lars

is make sure
you don't get there.

Whoa.

And what does that mean?

All right.

All right,
I'll tell ya what it means.

I'm gonna give it to you
straight.

Lars Holstrum's
the kind of a man

that deserves the best--
only the best--

and any girl
who's made up her mind
she's gonna marry him

shouldn't be behavin' like--
like she hadn't made up
her mind.

Oh? Please go on.

Well, she shouldn't
be pretendin' she can't
drive a wagon

so some man will have
to sit close to her
and teach her how to drive,

and she shouldn't be
makin' that homesick talk
under the stars

when she's alone
with the same man

and givin' him
the business about
how lonely his life must be,

and she shouldn't be pretendin'
she hurt her ankle

so he'll pick her up
in his arms,

and she shouldn't be
swimmin' naked in a stream

when he's 20 feet away!

Now I don't know how
betrothed women act in Sweden,
Miss Swenson,

but this is America,
and any engaged girl
who acts like that should--

Oh! You--oh!

No, you let me tell you
straight.

Mr. Trampas, you're a fool!

Yah, you are a lonely man,
and why?

Because you're blind.

Faith you got in no one,
and it is not just
what you think of me.

Those Indians--
they could not be friendly.

They must be trying
to kidnap me.

And the drovers--
you are so sure that they
are trying to steal the money.

And I say that from none of them
was there need for fear.

You sure about that, are you?

Of course I am.

Then I suggest you take a look
right back there

in those rocks to the north.

Oh, they are following us.

Now take a look
right over there.

Look beyond that ridge
by the tree.

What do we do?

I'll tell ya what we don't do.
We don't argue.

We're gonna make a run for it.

Get on my horse.

I got my own horse.

I said we don't argue.

Oh, hey! Oh!

Come on.

All right, go on!
Go on!

But if we are on Lars' land,
why?

It's still two miles
to the house.

So we just wait here?
For what?

[ gunshots ]

For that.

If there is fighting out there,
what are you doing here?

I'm doin' exactly
what I'm gettin' paid for--

tryin' to get you
back in one piece.

Mr. Trampas, is it my skin
you are worried about--
or your own?

Maybe a little of both.

Now we can go on?

No, you're stayin' right here.

I'll try to get through
to the house

and bring some of Lars' men
back with me.

I'm not takin' any chances
this late in the game.

And for once, just once,
do as you're told.

I thought those gunshots
would do the trick.

Trampas.

What is this?
What is goin' on here?

Hello there, Lars.

Next time
you buy a herd from me,

I expect a lot less discussion
and argument from ya.

Here he is.

This is the galoot
that was tryin' to kidnap
your woman.

We saw him--
all of us.

Soon as he saw how much money
she had on her,

he tried givin' us a line
he was bringin' her here
to you.

Of course, he didn't need
any help for the job--not him.

Look, Lars,
I know what this is all about,

but it was them
who were after her,

and so are some
Arapahos back there.

Arapahos?

Yeah, they're out there
somewhere.

I hid her out by the south gate
while I came here for help.

Some help.

[ horse approaching ]

The chief of the Arapaho
greets his white friend
Holstrum.

What brings my friend here?

We stop looking for the braves
that left the reservation

to defend Lars Holstrum's woman
from the man who steal her.

Don't pay any attention to him,
Lars. He's out of his mind.

You not say she is your woman?

Uh, well, sure,
but, uh--

Where is she?

She come now...
with Tall Bull.

[ horses approaching ]

Good day, Lars Holstrum.

It's good to be here at last.

Uh, well, now, Lars, uh,
maybe I did get some help
after all.

Well, at least I got her here.
I mean, there she is--

your Katya.

Katya? This is not Katya.

I never said I was--
only that I was Miss Swenson.

Anna Swenson.
How do you do, Mr. Trampas.

Anna, where is my Katya?

This I return to you,
Lars Holstrum.

Since Katya cannot marry you,
my father does not accept loan,

but thanks you anyway.

Why? Why she cannot marry?

On the boat as we
are coming to America,

she met someone else--
someone she loves very much.

She asks that you forgive her,
Lars.

Oh, and this is small gift
to you from Katya
and her husband.

I thank them,
but you, Anna--

you only come
to tell me this?

Well, I tell my father,
since you are so good friend
to us Swensons,

it's unkind to only write
such news and send by messenger.

I say I will come,
but he is afraid for me.

So I leave note for him at night
and come anyway.

And now, if you think
you can find escort

who will not consider it
too much trouble,

I will ride on
and rejoin wagon train.

Anna, maybe there is no need.

Perhaps you could stay a while.

Stay?

After all,
if Katya has found
another fella,

perhaps you...

You mean, Lars Holstrum,
that it was not Katya
you wished to marry?

Just some younger girl
from the old country?

I did not say that.

But it is what you mean,
is it not?

Well, sure it is.
Now look here, Lars.

You can't marry a girl
just because you can't
have another.

You mind your own business!

This is my business!

Oh, he's right, Lars.
It is his business--

the delivering business.

You owe him $100
for delivering a bag of beans.

Now you listen to me.
I've taken just about enough
from you.

And if you think I'm gonna--

You leave that girl alone!

You stay out of this.
This is my private fight.

I ought to take you
over my knee--

Don't you touch Anna.

You--
you are determined
to do this thing.

To sense you do not listen.

To begging you do not listen.

I warn you,
you do not listen!

Now, look, I, uh...

How much do you expect
a man to take?

Do you know what it is
that you deserve?

Look, pal--

I have had enough.
Do you understand?

Hey, look, you had no call--

For five years
you do not listen.

Well, now I no longer hear.

Of all women I ever know,
you are the most stubborn,
most foolish, most headstrong!

All right, friend, turn around.

You want a fight,
well, you're gonna get one.
Come on, come on.

Sven, you will not fight.

You will be quiet, Anna.
You hear me?

You don't say one word.

Don't worry.

I neglected to mention
Sven was boxing champion
of Sweden.

Well, I don't care
if he was boxing champion of--

Boxing champion of--

[ chuckles ]

[ laughs ]

Oh.

That's a fine time
to tell me.

You're so wonderful.

For what you do for me today,
Anna will love you forever.

Oh, forever, dear Trampas.

♪♪

[ wedding music playing ]

Dearly beloved,
we are gathered together...

[ all cheering ]

There it is!

[ all cheer ]

[ all cheer ]

To the next bride at New Upsala!

Skol!

ALL: Skol!

Meanwhile,
I kiss the one we got.

[ all laugh ]

I think we
ought to pass her around.

And the best man?
He has no kiss for the bride?

Well, uh...
I think this is safer.

You are sure you
have forgiven me for trick
I played on ya to get here?

Well, like they say,
all's well that ends well.

[ chuckles ]

Only, uh...

Only what?

That "I will love you forever
for what you do for me today"
line...

well, what was that all about?

Very simple.

For five years,
Sven is in love with me,

and for five years,
when I say no,

Sven does not say,
"I say yes. Yes it will be."

And you finally make Sven
not do what I tell him to,

and now I know I can marry him.

Hmm.

[ chuckles ]
I'll get you
something to drink.

All right, thank you.

So that's how it works, huh?

Well, skol.

Thank you.

You sure do look pretty.

They're going to cut the cake.
I think we should be there.

Oh, yah, my dear husband.

You will come with us?

Oh, just a minute.

[ laughs ]

Maria. Come over with me
and I'll buy you a piece
of cake.

No, thank you--

Now just a minute.

I'm not askin' you,
I'm tellin' you.

How dare you
talk to me like that!

Now let's not have
an argument about it--

Oh! Oh, hey!

[ laughs ]

What's all that about?

Well, she doesn't
understand Swedish customs.

[ chuckles ]

Well, may I buy you
a piece of cake?

Well, why not?
