Gunsmoke, starring James Arness as Matt Dillon.

Afternoon, mister.

Just a way to dodge?

Yeah.

Plan for one on my horse?

What you got here?

That's a mighty nice piece of wood.

You play music?

Got some.

Put it back, will you, please?

No, that won't hurt it.

You bet I'll hurt it.

Mister?

That's old. It might break easy.

Hey, why don't you give it to me? I'll play something for you.

Oh, heck no.

Tell you what.

I'll play for you.

How about that, huh?

Huh?

Oh,

now.

You're not very sociable, boy.

Come to my place, ask for water.

You're not very sociable.

What if I said I want my water back?

Now, you listen.

I'm gonna play you something real pretty.

Huh?

Now, is that pretty?

Huh? That's pretty, huh?

Now, you mind your manners.

What are you doing this for?

Fun.

I'm just funny.

Stop it.

One more step, I'll bash you.

Ain't no trouble, I was just funny.

I got a little speed. I want to make a duck before you start

to huff. into puffing on that candle and making wishes and stuff like that, I've

got something I want to tell you. Now, there's been a story going around this

town that old Doc here is 64 years old.

Well, now, I don't think that's fair to old Doc, and I just want to tell you all

the truth right here and now.

Actually, he's 84.

Come on, Doc, tell us.

All right, all right, I'll tell you.

I'm old enough to have good sense, and that's more than I can say for some

folks around here.

The town doctor.

Would you mind playing us a tune?

If I have something to eat, I'll play.

I'm certain.

Doc, looks like you're gonna have a little entertainment. What would you

like to hear?

Well, well, my gosh, well, whatever you want to play, young man, that's fine.

Just go right ahead.

Uh, Sam, would you bring up another barrel of beer in case we run short?

Right away, Miss Kitty.

What's your name, young fella?

Jason.

Jason what?

Just chasing.

Help yourself to the food and pull up a chair. Thank you. Don't eat too much,

though. We want you to find some more.

What's the

matter,

Sonny? Come here, Mr. Shaw. I want to tell you something here. What do you

say, Baptist?

Thank you, Sonny.

Look at him.

Found him stretched out with a knife wound in his chest. That's what done it.

There's old Jed Woodard.

Got that piece of land out south of town. You know him, Matthew.

Yeah.

Where'd you find him, Sonny? While I was riding by his place, Marshal, he owed me

$24. Six months he owed me that damn money.

Funny, there was a grave dug nearby.

Now, it might have been just a hole, but I know that old Jed never dug that.

because I ain't never seen him hit a lick of work as long as I knowed him.

Well, now, did you see anybody else around there at all?

No, sir, not a soul.

But I sure would have liked to see somebody then.

You know, talking would have made me feel a lot better.

Riding with a dead man can get awful spooky.

Well, thanks a lot, Sonny. I'll take over from here.

Marshal, Jed didn't have any kinfolks you knowed up, did he?

Why? Well, I was just wondering, you know.

Beans, he owed me all that there money.

I was wondering if I could claim this mule of his.

Well, I'll check into it and let you know, Sonny.

A couple of you fellas give me a hand here, will you?

Festus?

Old Happy sure could use a pulley make, you know. He ain't like he used to be.

Just don't you fret, now.

Matthew'll work something out.

Well, I know, but the business has been real bad. I mean real bad.

Times has hollered all over.

You know, Festus, I always said you had a heap of sense.

How about me and you having a little snap?

You mean you're fixing to buy a drink?

Well, I'm gonna pay for the first one, and then after that there, you're gonna

pay for the next two.

Oh, you got it all figured out, ain't you? Well, now, wait a minute now,

Festus. After that there, I'm gonna pay for the next three, and then you're

gonna... Whoop, whoop.

That old dog won't hunt. I have saw you drink, sunny star.

And after the first two drinks, you don't even know what territory you're

in, no?

If I'm gonna drink, I'm gonna drink somebody can hold up his end.

I ain't gonna go in there.

Okay? I know you, you know.

Well, you ain't got enough money to buy a wrestling jacket for a garbage snake.

You want me to come in here and spend my money?

Been waiting for you.

Well, here I am.

Just can't lose, just can't... You're a dead man,

Jack. One of us is, and that's for sure.

Church is out.

Baskers?

Baskers?

Baskers, come here! Come see me!

What are you talking about?

You know.

All right, that's enough of that.

Bring it up, folks. Move along.

Now, let's get the gun belts off.

Now, go ahead and take them off.

So, we're just trying to get the folks up and talking about when they gather

themselves around the fireplace, Marshal.

Uh-huh.

You can pick these up when you get ready to leave town.

In the meantime, take my advice and behave yourselves. You'll wind up in

jail.

You're just dang lucky you was dealing with Matthew in place of me, because I'd

have got on you both like ugly on eight. I'd have drug you right down to that

jailhouse with your spurs.

It's just like fingering the mane of my pony.

That was beautiful, Jason.

Thank you, Manny.

Well, good night, Jason.

Good night.

I'm just kidding.

Manny?

See you tomorrow?

Mm-hmm.

Tomorrow.

Could you bring us a little bottle?

Sorry, we're closing.

I could just stay here all night and listen to it.

I agree with you.

That's very good, Jason.

Miss Kitty, you want me to stay and help you close up?

No, no need for that.

Thanks just the same.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay. Good night, Miss Kitty. Good night, Jason. Good night.

Good night, Captain.

That's all for the lawn branch tonight.

Oh, now, come on.

Now, I want another drink.

Now, you heard the lady. We're closing.

Nobody's arguing with you. Just sell me a bottle, and old Dan and me will have

the rest of our evening to ourselves.

Right.

I want some music.

No problem.

No problem at all.

All we gotta do is take the boy on over to the hotel. We got music all night

long. Not tonight.

Wasn't asking you, honey.

I was talking to you, boy.

I don't think so.

You don't think so.

Why don't you come back tomorrow night?

There'll be more music and more drinks then.

That's not very friendly now.

As we're asking, where are we gonna get some music, Jack? Look, why don't you

take your friend here and bed him down somewhere before he falls flat on his

face?

Let me have the ledger, Sam.

I'll go start on the books.

Would you mind locking up for me? I'll take care of it. Thank you. Good night,

Miss Good. Good night, Jack. Hey!

Hold on, boy. Come on! What's that, a real stomper, eh?

No, thanks.

No music, no fun, no nothing.

Jack, I think I just found my music.

Hey, give me that bottle. I'm going to tune it up.

Hey,

guitar-bigger.

Hey, now, you mind-boy to get yourself stoned.

Hey, boy, strum me down with a little song.

I'll play all you want.

I'm getting tired. I ain't tired.

I'll play myself.

Hold it. Right there.

It's Jason.

I'll get Doug.

You better bring a marshal, too.

I want you to lie back down there.

There you see it.

All right, now, just breathe out all the air you can there for a minute, son.

No more.

Exhale.

Don't worry about it.

Well, I know that's going to hurt, but the tighter I get this, the better

you're going to feel.

Where's my guitar?

I don't know a thing about your guitar.

No, no.

Here, here, here. Wait a minute. You do as I tell you to. I'll tell you when you

can get up. You just lie there.

Oh, Kitty.

Come on in.

Did they bust my guitar?

No.

Not a scratch on it.

I'll just put it down here.

Now, young man, I want to have a look at that hand.

Well,

he's got some broken ribs, and they're pretty painful, and he's beat up pretty

good, as you can see there.

He's young and he's strong.

He'll bounce back in a few days. Here, hold this for me, will you?

I didn't know guitar playing could be so dangerous.

This might sting just a little bit.

What'd Matt do about those two drovers?

That's all my money, Marshal.

Don't worry about it. Let's go.

In there.

Don't you ever get any sleep?

I wasn't until I heard about this ruckus.

Professor told me these guys are looking for fun. It's kind of a rough way to do

the looking, didn't you say?

Well, as soon as they sober up, they're going to be leaving that.

That's a good thing.

Where'd you get this?

Oh, it belongs to one of them.

You ever seen it before?

No, why?

It belongs to Jed Woodard.

Jed Woodard?

Are you sure?

Well, sure, I'm sure.

A couple weeks back, he was in a poker game.

And the hand before the game ended, a fella had a pair of jacks. Now, Jed had

them beat. Everybody knew it.

But Jed didn't have any money to put up for it.

So this fella said that he could use his $20 gold piece.

But Jed carried it around his neck all the time, sort of like a good luck

charm. And he wouldn't part with it.

Make us some coffee, will you?

You're sober, Lee Stewart.

All right, you two.

Get up. Get on your feet.

Jason, take it easy.

Thank you.

What's that?

I serve cold beer and hot coffee.

Well, looks like you're gonna live.

Yeah, I think I might.

I'm feeling much better.

When did you start playing that guitar?

For most of my life, I guess.

I can't remember when I started.

My father played.

You should have heard.

This was his.

I can't remember ever meeting anybody from around these parts that plays a

Spanish guitar.

Flamenco.

Oh.

Actually, my father was with Maximilian's army in Mexico. And the

first time he heard flamenco was... It wasn't the first time he saw my mother.

She was dancing.

And he loved the sound of it.

And he loved her.

Must have been a beautiful love.

Yeah.

He loved her so much that when she died, he died himself.

Inside.

All those years, he waited for her to be with him again.

He's with her now.

This is all that's left of her.

Jason.

I think maybe you ought to get some rest. You know, Doc laid the law down.

I guess I'll get that rest now.

Didn't kill anybody, Marshal.

I told you half the night. He'd give it to me.

I know what you told me. Now I want to hear the truth.

Hey, heat this up some, will you?

Oh, it ain't like we told you, Marshal. He didn't give it to Dan.

What? Well, we took it from him, but we didn't kill him.

You just stuck a knife in him and took the gold piece off of him.

Oh, no, it weren't like that, Marshal. I told you they wouldn't believe.

Believe what?

We come by the place, we saw him laying there. He's already dead.

He was already dead when we got there, Marshal.

Oh, look, Marshal, we had a lot of fun.

We act a little stupid since we come to town, but you gotta believe me now, we

didn't kill nobody.

Well, why didn't you tell me the truth in the first place, then?

Oh, well, it don't roll off the tongue too easy saying you stole from a dead

man. Marshal, you gotta believe us.

We never killed nobody.

Marshal, he was dead when we got there.

We didn't kill him. He was already dead.

Hit.

Just can't lose.

Just can't lose.

Nothing? Sure.

Tails.

I just can't lose.

I mean it.

Oh, hi, boy. How you feeling?

Oh, yes, sir.

Uh, can I have a cup of coffee? Sure thing, Jason.

Oh, what do you say, Jason?

My name's Sonny Starr.

Howdy. That's sure the pretty guitar you got there.

Well, thank you.

Oh, Sam,

he was a-telling me how you can play that guitar.

Oh, that could be a while before I play again.

I sure do like that music.

You know, you look like a traveling man to me.

If you ever got the urge to travel, I sure wish you'd join up with me.

You know, I figure a little of that to plant Mac Mink on me as you play on that

guitar.

I'd drum up a little business for me.

You can't never tell.

Well, I guess it'll be a while before I play again.

Well, any time, sonny.

I'm sorry, son. I just plum forgot. I just heard what happened.

I'm sorry.

Sam, give me another drink.

I just can't lose.

Just did.

You know...

Jason, them two cowboys was a little tough on a rancher nearby.

You know what they done?

They killed a man.

Master Dillon got him locked up over in the jail over here.

You know how they killed him?

With a knife, right in the chest.

I was the man who found him.

With a knife? With a knife.

They started digging a grave, I'd say.

I just can't figure out why they didn't finish up and bury him.

Well, if that way, I probably never would have found him.

But you know something?

Might have saved him from hanging.

Hey, Mr. Jason.

Hey, Mr. Jason.

Jason?

I don't mean to push none, but I sure do think it'd be a good business

proposition if you'd join up with me.

I'll give you a good percentage, and all you gotta do is bang out a tune or two

on that guitar.

When are you leaving Dodge?

Anytime, son, anytime you say.

Tonight? If you'll mind.

Yeah, I guess I can't stay in Dodge much longer.

Ten o'clock?

Ten, right, sure.

You gonna see that little girl before you go?

Huh? You gonna see that little girl before you go?

Yeah, I figured I might.

Ain't bad.

Come on, Jason.

Think you got no bag?

No. Let's go.

I hear you talking.

Get out of here.

Hey, Danny.

Hey, Danny, wake up.

Look, I got keys.

How'd you get those?

The guitar player threw them in the window.

Don't make too much noise.

Jackal. Oh, boy.

Is he dead?

No, it's a good thing. They'd blame us for that, too. Well, what's the

difference? You only hang once.

Let's get out of here.

Hey, Danny, why'd that kid help us?

Well, I'm not gonna sit here and try and figure that out.

All I wanna do is get out of this lousy town. Yeah, but maybe it's a trap.

Well, I'll take a bullet over a rope any day. Hey, Danny.

What about our money?

Money? Forget about the money.

They're going to be in the jungle out there.

They're going to see us.

You got this?

Hey, we can't walk out of town.

We ain't gonna walk.

So where'd they put our horses?

Look.

We are gonna do the first thing the law's got a right to put us in jail for.

Easy, kid.

We don't want to attract any attention.

Thad.

Thad, you all right? You all right? All right. Easy.

I think so.

All right, sit down over there.

What's happened here?

I don't know. I was bringing some wood in and a roof fell in.

I must have had some help getting out of here.

Hey, my horse!

Hey, that's my horse!

Hey! Hey, that's my horse!

Hey, somebody just stole my horse!

Pretty kind of hard to track at night.

Somebody stole my horse!

I want to talk to you.

Look, I seen him. I seen him riding out of town.

Now, I may be a little licked up, but nobody gets my horse.

No, it's just one of the mule I can find and move on.

Get up in there, Happy!

I got a feeling that this little mule will come on, may do the trick.

It's a lot better than working at the Long Branch for a living, ain't it?

Yeah, I guess it is.

Hey, Dan!

What?

Hold it up, Dan. That horse is so windbroke, he's near ready to drop.

We'd been better off if we stayed on the road.

Yeah, and that's the best way of getting found I can think of.

All right, come on.

Where you going? I'm going back.

To dodge?

Yeah. You're gonna hang.

No, I won't hang. I didn't kill nobody.

Uh-huh, and all of a sudden somebody back there is gonna believe you?

No, sir.

I'm going on.

Hey, Dad.

Where?

It's a kid.

What kid?

The kid who busted us out of jail.

Oh, yeah, that is him, isn't it, huh?

I want to figure out why he's so generous after we kicked in the river,

too. Come on.

Hey, wait for me.

Yeah, you and me is going to do real well as partners, Jason.

Be good being on the move all the time, anyway.

Look at me.

It's the good life.

You got the wrong ones, mister.

I ain't got the price.

Just be quiet, Peddler. I know you two. Come on, Peddler. Climb aboard.

What do you want to do with that boy?

What are you... Give me a guitar.

I can do something. Get out of here, Peddler.

Get down.

Get up in here.

Come on. This boy... Come on, inside.

Thank you.

What?

Danny.

We're not gonna hurt you, kid.

Me and my partner, we owe you a lot.

What for?

Busting us out of jail.

Yeah, that was very nice of you.

How come, kid?

How come what? How come what, he says.

How come you're so helpful?

Oh, it's a difference.

What's the difference?

Now look, we ain't got time.

Right about now, half a Dodge is out looking for us.

You hurting, boy?

Got a little busted rib here.

Tell me something.

Why did you bust us out of jail?

Get on. That's a fair question.

You're out, aren't you?

Now, is it important?

We'll put in there for something we didn't do.

We had no part in that killing.

If we keep running now, it's going to be hard to stop.

So, if I'm going to run for killing, I didn't do.

One more time.

I'll come.

What do you got there?

Easy, boy.

Hold on.

Hold on, boy. You cut me with that knife.

And you're going to make me shoot you.

I should have let you hang.

For what?

For killing me? Are you dumb?

No, you ain't going to do nothing about it. You're too smart for that.

That rancher stabbed Del, wasn't he?

Look here, you.

You can see that's the truth of it.

Isn't that right, isn't it?

With that knife, you did it, didn't you? Come on, talk, boy! Spit it out!

Hey!

Come on, get back here! Come back here, boy! Come on, now, hold it up or I'll

shoot!

You go on over there and work your way in.

You find him, hoop to do him over toward me. I'll start him in from this other

direction here.

Okay. He can't get too far. These woods ain't that deep. And Danny, don't kill

him.

Without him, we can still hang.

Right.

Jason, come on back here, boy. We ain't going to hurt you.

Come here. We only want to talk a little bit.

Jason.

Come back here, Jason.

Come here, boy. We ain't going to hurt you. Come on back here.

Jason.

Hey, what?

Chase?

Hold right there, boy.

Hey, Danny!

I got him.

Look, boy, I'm tired of chasing you.

You're gonna keep running. I'm gonna shoot you in the leg.

gunned down to yourself.

I told you, didn't I? I told you.

Oh, you're bleeding pretty bad.

I'll tie something around that leg.

Jack!

Jack. Hold it.

The kid did it, Marshal.

He killed that rancher, and now he's knifed my part.

Jack. How bad is it, Jack? Well, I ain't dead yet.

Get this thing out of me.

That wrench tried to break my father's couteau.

Tell Miss Kitty.

That's some sad ways that boy died.

It's one of the things a man can find to kill over, isn't it?

Well, I guess sometimes it's kind of hard to try to figure people.

Kitty, I came to that conclusion a long time ago.

Well, he was sick.

Sick? When you think about it, it's kind of frightening.

What do you mean?

The kind of sickness he had.

You know, medical science teaches you how to take bullets out of people and

fix broken legs and cure a baby's colic and the measles and a hundred other

things, but how do you get inside of a man's head?
