Gunsmoke, starring James Arness as Matt Dillon.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, um, these bags, those three.

Thank you.

I'd like a room if it's not too much trouble.

Five dollars a day.

Five dollars?

In advance.

Make up your mind lady. There ain't no place else

Six

Thank you.

Wait a minute.

Oh,

I'm sorry.

It's all right. I can manage. Thank you.

Do you think it's possible to give me a room with a lock that works?

The only room vacant, lady.

Take it or leave it.

Pickaxe? You mean to say you let her go to Pickaxe alone?

Golly, Bill Matthew, we tried to stop her, but she wasn't in no mood to

listen. Probably had something to do with her being a little upset with you.

Well, she didn't have any reason to be upset with me.

Well, that's point of view.

You figured you had to get up to Hayes City, and she figured she had to go look

at her gold mine.

Gold mine.

I've told her 50 times she shouldn't be fooling around with that gold mine.

Yeah, she said that.

She got to thinking the Long Branch was practically in bankruptcy, and she

figured the gold mine might just help support her for the rest of her life.

I'd have followed her, Matthew, you know that. But, Phil, I can't get on a mule

with this leg.

Doc says it'll be another week before I can use it.

Well, then you should have sent somebody with her.

I keep telling you, Matthew, she wouldn't let nobody go with her.

She was madder than a wet hen. Said she was a big girl and that... And that she

was perfectly capable of taking care of herself.

Yeah, in pickaxe. A town loaded with every low-down renegade west of the

Mississippi. I've told her a hundred times she shouldn't have gone there.

Yeah, she said that, too.

You know, you should have at least sent Thad along.

Well, I told you he's not here. He's in Spareville.

We told Hank over at the stable to send him over here as quick as he got back.

He was due this morning.

Now that you're here, you can go yourself.

Yeah, well, that's fine, except I can't do it. Why can't you? Because I got a

three-day stay of execution for Billy Colt. Now, the sheriff at Jetmore is

bringing down the man that confessed.

Well, now, did you explain to Kitty that Billy Colt's life depended on you

getting up to Hayes City?

Well, what's that got to do with her running off like that?

Oh, you didn't explain it.

Well, no, I didn't tell her. She wasn't in any mood to listen.

Festus, you should have locked her up in a jail cell if you had to.

Oh, foot, Matthew. I'd like to see you throw her in a jail cell.

Morning. Hank's at the... Thad, you know where the town of Pickaxe is?

Yes, sir.

All right, I want you to go down to the stable, have Hank give you the fastest

horse he's got. I want you in Pickaxe by tomorrow afternoon.

And as soon as you find her, I want you to get a letter on that stage saying

everything's all right.

Letter? Come on, hurry up.

Wait a minute.

You've told him everything except why he's going and who he's going to see.

Oh, yeah.

Look, Kitty's up there. Somebody's given her a gold mine. Now, she's up there

alone trying to prove claim on it.

I want you to find her, stay with her until she's got the title transferred,

and get her out of there as fast as you can.

Yes, sir. And don't forget that letter.

No, sir.

Don't you have some patients to take care of, or maybe a sick cow or

something?

Thank you very much. I sure appreciate this.

Tell me something. Does your mother cook?

Well, I can't remember the last time I ate.

Grab those valises and show me the way.

Why don't you take a long walk someplace?

You use already more than your dollars worth.

Hey! Now get out! Get out!

I

don't

care what you say. You owe me one dollar and you are going to pay me.

Oh, I am sick and tired of you rock hounds.

whiskey and then you come here and you want to weasel out to pay me when you

use my best soap you come back here and give me my money let go of me dummy his

name is richard his name will be mud if he don't keep his hands off me you owe

me one dollar you pay whistle for your witch oh

Great training ground.

I needed that.

I figured I owed this town something, and I'm sure glad he was around to

collect. And I'm sure glad you got here when you did.

Miss, uh... Russell.

Kitty Russell.

Oh, yes.

Richard told me all about you. How you got in in the old wagon.

That's right.

You know, he makes signs, and I teach him how to write a few words, you know?

Oh, he's a smart boy, even if God visit him with this affliction.

He sure is the bravest boy I've ever met.

Well, for this kind remark, you're going to get the best chile con carne.

Oh, food, wonderful. I thought I was going to have to spend the night in that

miserable hotel room.

Querida, you wouldn't have had a chance to think about it.

What do you mean?

You would have been a sitting duck.

No, that's wrong. They wouldn't give you a chance to sit down.

You would have spent the whole night hanging on to your feathers.

Register this.

Can't go find myself a minor.

Mining's hard work.

We'll see.

Saloon's up the street.

Joe Swanson left me his mine.

I'd like you to file for me.

Here's my name and the deed.

And I think all the information that you'll need is in there.

It's going to take a day or two to file all these claims.

A couple of days. Just to transfer one claim?

Where can I hire you?

Like I said, the saloon's up the street.

It's the most likely place.

I'm for hire, lady.

Where's the location of the mine?

Eh, take the main street towards the hill.

Go up to North Fort.

Follow it as far as you can go, right past the Gibijohn's cabin.

Eb Gibijohn?

Yep.

Yeah, he's one of them, all right.

If you're up near the Gibijohn's, you better get somebody to guard that cabin

door.

I'll do it for no wages at all.

This is the dirtiest, meanest, nastiest town I've ever been in my whole life.

What do I have to do in order to find a half-decent man to help me?

I appreciate your offer, Richard, but...

From what I've heard about mining, it's ten hours a day in a creek and hoisting

a shovel and... Oh, well, what I really need is...

What I really need is a

man, six-four, with blue eyes and blonde hair and muscles and a good

friend of mine.

Thad!

Thad Greenwood!

Over here, Thad!

Oh, you'll never know how glad I am to see you.

I sure am pleased to see you too, Miss Kay.

Marshall's quite upset you came here alone.

Matt sent you?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, as you can see, I'm perfectly all right.

But I'm still glad to see you.

Oh, I want you to meet Richard Danby.

Richard, this is Clayton Thaddeus Greenwood from Dodge City.

Hi.

When'd you leave Dodge?

Oh, yesterday morning.

Yesterday morning?

Well, you couldn't have gotten any sleep at all.

Well, the marshal said to get here as fast as I can and not stop.

Make sure you're all right.

And you took him literally.

Don't think he wanted me to waste time sleeping.

Oh, you must be exhausted.

Oh, no, no. I'm fine.

Just that I, uh...

Been getting a little lightheaded the last few miles.

Well, I can believe that.

I'll tell you what.

We've got all the supplies we need for the time being.

Why don't we just go on up to the mine and then you can get some rest?

That'd be fine.

Your mother will let the show go away, won't she?

Good. Let's get going.

Well, I guess gold is where you find it.

Who's that?

She's the one I seen before at the Danby place.

The one that hit me when I wasn't looking.

Maybe we'd better just go and have a talk with her and see what she's doing

on our property.

Uh, it don't pleasure me none to have folks come, uh...

trespassing on my claim, especially when they don't even have no invite.

Your claim?

Joe Swanson was a friend of mine. He left this mine to me.

I'm registering at the claim office right now.

Oh, she's a catamaran, just like you said, son.

I believe in talking gentle like to women, folks.

Murder my boys the same way, but I don't take it lightly when some critter is not

polite to my boy in one day and then comes around and calls me a liar in the

next.

Look, just get off this land before I call the sheriff.

We ain't got no sheriff.

This town ain't got no hankering for the law at all.

Miss Kitty.

You heard the lady.

Now clear off.

Uh, no, no, no. We, uh, we ain't about to, uh, pay no never mind to some fancy

female claim jumper, especially when we got squatter's rights, uh, working

rights. And, uh, no, we, uh, aim to stay.

He's only talking big because he's got a gun, Pa.

Pad, no.

It's all right, Miss Kitty.

I just want these fellas to understand that... They can't talk that way to a

lady.

Well, boys, looks like we're going to have to teach this lad something about

manners. Jimmy John style, huh? How about it, boys?

Mister, I'd appreciate it if you'd just let me settle this with your boys.

I don't want to tangle with somebody as old as you are. Oh, don't let the gray

hairs fool you, boy.

There comes some iron in the blood.

Iron!

I sure hope word don't get out that us jibberjohns got ourselves whooped by one

man. Now, word ain't gonna get out I ain't finished with him yet, nor that

female neither.

What are you fixing to do now, Pa? I ain't made up my mind yet.

No female's ever got the best of Pa jibberjohn. I ain't even let one start

now.

Well, we sure did whip them, didn't we?

Yep.

We sure did.

Well, I guess they won't be back in a hurry.

I hope not.

Oh, damn it. Look.

Oh, my lips hurt. Wait a minute. I'll get some water. No, it's all right. It's

all right. It's all right.

Well...

I guess I got strength enough left to fix some supper if anybody's got

strength enough left to eat it.

I gotta get back to town. I gotta get back to town.

What for?

Marshall made me promise him to send that letter.

And if I don't send it right away, I don't think he's gonna appreciate it

any. That letter's just gonna have to wait.

You're not going to any place and...

Until you've had some food and a good night's sleep.

Get your boots off. Come on, hurry up.

Dad,

come on. I'll help you.

Nothing? Nope. Of course not. If he'd have been a pigeon, he couldn't have

gotten up there fast enough to get a letter back on this stage.

If he'd have gone straight through, he should have been there yesterday

morning. What's he doing up there?

Miss Kitty?

Miss Kitty?

Miss Kitty?

Miss Kitty?

Hey, Thad, over here.

Come here and look what we got.

Gold, real gold.

Well, that's wonderful, Miss Kitty, but you promised to wake me up before so I

could send that letter.

And it's way past noon.

Why isn't it gonna wake you up? You need your sleep. But you promised. You said

you don't understand. This is real gold. We're rich.

I got a whole sack full of it just since this morning.

How much you think it's worth?

Gotta be worth at least three or four hundred dollars.

Hmm.

You know, if we don't leave now, I won't get the letter on the stage today.

Well, the letter's just gonna have to wait. Come on.

Look, we can probably have another sack full before dark.

There must be six or seven hundred dollars in here.

You know, Joe Swanson said it was a good mine, but I sure never expected anything

like this.

You suppose there's a lot more in there?

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know that much about mining, but it might be a pocket.

Of course, there's no telling how big that pocket could be.

Well, we're sure gonna find out tomorrow.

You know, I just may get up the saloon business completely.

Show those jibby johns how to run a mine.

Well, you ought to see the gold they got. It's all over the table.

Greed, that's what it is. Just pure greed.

That's right, Pa.

Now, you take us, Jibby Johns, or any of that greedy bone in the whole family,

the most we ever took out of them diggers is just enough for some side

pork and a bottle of good husky.

It's all any righteous folks needs.

You mean we ain't gonna steal what they got? Of course we're gonna steal it.

What kind of people would we be letting them take what's ours and run us off?

It'd just be...

encouraging their vices.

How are you fixing to do it, Paul?

After they get to sleep, they're going to be much tired after work they've

done.

The catch on that back window never did work.

Maybe I'll just sneak on down there and make sure they get to bed, huh, Paul?

You keep your mind on the gold, boy.

She ain't nothing but a painted hussy.

Well, I didn't mean to... I know what you meant. You just put the devil behind

you.

I'll just mosey on down there myself after a spell.

See if the coast is clear.

more moral favor in what you've got i can i can look on that jezebel not be

tempted yeah meantime skinny up that tree and give him my jug is uh

it's a chill in there okay

Big fella wakes up.

We'll kill you.

How? Never mind. I'll get on with it.

Cut that out.

What's the matter, boy?

You getting yellow?

I'm going.

I'm going.

All right.

What are you doing?

What? You cover me with the window closed.

He's right, Pa. All right, all right. Well, go on, go on.

Look at your gold. Get going with it.

Where's the gold?

Well, how should I know?

Well, you was looking when they went to bed.

I know one thing she ain't got it

All right, sign that.

I came up with you, Jack. I'll be back.

Nothing yet, huh?

Well, if they haven't made it up there, there should have been a letter on this

stage. What are you fixing to do, Matthew? Get my horse for him, will you,

Festus? I meant like you. Oh, look, man, I'll get him myself.

I don't believe I've ever saw Matthew in such a stew before. Have you?

No.

And I don't blame him. Jack, you're gonna have to do me a favor, if you

will. Sure, Matt. Get him up to Hayes City.

Tell the sheriff up there to turn Billy cold loose. I'll be up to sign the paper

as soon as I can.

You got trouble, Matt?

I don't know. I'm gonna find out in a hurry.

Now, easy.

Just take it easy.

How long have I been lying here?

Oh, about 11 hours.

11 hours?

Now, just lie back.

You got a bullet hole in you.

Oh, yeah.

You know, I don't really think he meant to shoot me.

Well, it doesn't really make any difference whether he meant to or not.

You could have gotten yourself killed.

Is it that bad?

Well, it's not pretty.

But I've seen enough gunshot wounds to know it's going to be all right.

The bullet went all the way through.

You know, it's funny.

I've never been shot before.

And I always thought it would hurt something awful.

But it... I'm making a stew.

Do you feel like eating some?

Yeah. Yeah.

Wonderful.

Oh, the smoke.

What's the matter?

The marshal. I haven't sent that letter yet.

Now, listen, Thad, you're just going to have to forget about that letter. If you

get up and start running around, you're going to open up that thing again.

I guess I really messed things up this time, huh?

What are you talking about?

Well, the marshal, he sent me up here to look after you.

And here I am, flat on my back.

I mean, it'd be just great now if them jibby johns come in here.

Oh, I'm hoping I took care of that.

How?

When I sent Richard into town with some money and a note.

I'm just hoping that he can find one man that knows how to handle a gun.

He'll come out here and help us.

Miss Kitty, I don't mean to tell you what to do, but I think we ought to get

out of here.

We can't. I know how you feel about your gold and all, but... Gold doesn't have

anything to do with it.

You're in no condition to ride a horse.

I had enough trouble stopping that bleeding.

So we just sit?

Yeah, that's right.

We're just gonna sit here.

You're gonna eat.

Mmm.

Mmm, that's good.

It wasn't my fault. You had it. You had that gold right in your hand.

And you dropped it. Well, you said you was going to cover me. I would have too,

except you got in the way.

I should have known better.

Let the two of you talk me into going down there in the first place.

What are you fixing to do now? I don't know.

You said you wouldn't let no female get the better of you. I ain't neither.

I just got to have time to think on it, that's all.

You think old Joe Swanson really left that mind to her?

I reckon.

Why don't we just go down there and claim Squatter's rights like you said?

There ain't no such thing. Not when the claim is filed legal.

The only thing we can do is scare her off.

You better think of something better than we've done up till now.

Yeah.

Boys, I think I'm beginning to get me ID.

What? I'm going to have time to let her simmer until I...

Got this worked out. I think I got me an idea how to take care of that Jezebel

once and for all.

I told you not to bother me.

I told you before, I ain't

got time to recruit gunslingers for that fancy female.

Well, don't just stand there. Get on out of here. Quit pestering me. Go on over

to the saloon.

You're in charge here, mister.

What do you think, mister?

I'm a United States Marshal from Dodge City.

I'm looking for somebody, a woman, a Miss Kitty Russell.

I ain't never heard of her.

Well, now she has a claim around here in this territory, she would have had to

come in here and register it with you.

Look, Marshal, we're over the territory line here.

I don't know how far your law reaches.

It seems to me that this ain't official business.

We don't have to talk about it, do we?

We don't caught much lawmen around here.

G'day, Marshal.

I've been riding for 36 hours and I don't feel like fooling around. Now,

where is she?

Well, sir, she came in here on her last Tuesday wanting to transfer the Swanson

claim. I ain't seen her since.

Where is she now?

Well, last I heard, she was up to claim.

Where is that?

Well, it's kind of hard to explain if you don't know the country.

Try it.

Well, you go out south into town, and you go to the creek, and you keep

moving, you keep moving, and then you take the wagon road up to the canyon,

that is, if it ain't been washed out, and it'll lead you right up to the place

where you can see the mine.

Thanks.

What's this for?

Is she alright?

Can you take me to her?

She is all snug in the cabin.

Well, I'll get out.

All right, boys, let's get out.

Well, you sure this is going to work? Of course it's going to work. Get over

there and you cut the top off of that sapling.

You go build us a nice little farm.

Paul, there's got to be an easier way. Well, maybe, but it won't be near as

much fun.

Pretty

good,

Miss Goody.

Do you want some more?

No, thank you. It's fine.

Well, anybody with an appetite like that can't be in too bad a shape.

How's that feeling?

Oh, it aches a little.

But I'll tell you one thing.

You sure did a good job on it.

Well, I've watched Doc patch up a bunch of these.

And I'm still not going to be happy until he takes a look at it himself.

Yeah, I'm kind of worried about Richard.

I wish he'd hurry up and get back.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

There she is.

I can hear paws purging. Now, you gather around here, boys. I'm going to learn

you something.

You take a rifle, you can't shoot around the corner or over a hill, but with the

bow and arrow, you can.

Well, what are we hiding for?

They know who's doing it.

You want to get yourself killed, boy?

Don't you want to get yourself killed? Step out there in plain sight and let

the big pot shot at you while we're shooting at him? Well, no! Do what I

tell you! Now, mind them arrows there.

You got the horses ready?

Yeah, Pa, I got them.

Pa? Yeah?

What if something goes wrong?

You just do what I tell you, nothing's gonna go wrong.

That's what you said last night. Yeah.

I can't be held responsible for the fact that you got three left feet. Hey, give

me one of them arrows.

Where'd it go?

Where'd it go? It went in the water barrel, Paul, but it was real close.

All right.

Give me another.

What was that?

I don't know.

Ghost!

That's it. Right smack in the middle.

It's blazing real nice.

Look at that. That's just a pretty sight.

Told you your old pod fixed us up right.

Very human. They got to come out of there now. All right, go get them

horses. Hurry up.

They won't be able to stay in there much longer, Paul.

Not without being smoked like a side of bacon.

All right.

Remember what I told you now. Get after them.

Come on.

Thad. Thad, this place is on fire. They're trying to burn us out of here.

a couple of times just for fun, huh?

Get out of here.

Kitty. Matt.

Kitty.

Matt, if you say I told you so.

I will never speak to you again.

So I made this deal with Richard and his mother to run the mine on shares, along

with the men that I saw. She said she'd much rather wash gold than clothes.

This way she don't have to iron anything.

I never did thank you, did I?

Well, it might settle for a beer.

That all the thanks you want?

Well, now, maybe what we ought to do is get a little table over here in the

corner and talk it over.
