- Hello, Buck.
- Roy.

What is it you want?

You just guided the Fullerton
party across, didn't you?

Yeah.

You were supposed to go back
to Missouri

and bring a party to San Diego?

Yeah.

I heard that fell through.

Yeah.

Ready to take on a job?

Yeah.

Look.

My valley

rich land.

Those horses are thrashing out
the finest wheat on earth.

Wheat, cattle, horses to break.

Men, ranches. The best.

I could see this once.

I told 'em what I'll see.

They called it Whitman's folly.

Well, there it is, no folly.

I've made it real.

They pat you on the back?

Not yet, but I'll tell you when.

And you see, I forgot one thing.

The roots keep it alive for all.

Women.

Good women.

Wives for the men.

With kids, diapers,

and the smell of cookin'
comin' out of the chimney.

What's that got to do with me?

Men want wives, and they put up
the money to get 'em.

They're as sick of this as I am.

Saloons, gambling.
You know.

Yeah, I know, and I like it.

Okay, Buck.

Well, you and I are going
to Chicago.

I'll recruit the women,
and you will guide them

across the country.

2,000 of trail,
and you know every inch of it.

You've brought wagon trains
to Oregon,

Sacramento, Santa Fe.

You're the man to bring
the women here to my valley.

There's only two things
in this world that scares me

and a good woman's both.

Take a load of good women
across hell.

Not me.

You look tired.

Yeah, well, I just wound up
in Sadie's mudbath.

How much did Fullerton pay you
to guide his party across?

Plenty.

I'll pay you what he did
and a 1,000 more.

A deal?

Deal.

Come to think of it,
you look like

an old mudbath man yourself.

I've had my share.

I bet you have.

How many good women
do you figure on bringing?

There are 100 men signed up
for wives.

Better recruit a 150
of 'em then.

If we are lucky, we'll only lose
one out of three.

Bring me back a redhead, Roy.

A Goldilocks for me.

Me, I don't care what
as long as it's woman.

I'm not sure you'd know
what to do if you saw a woman.

Just let me try.

That's one thing
you never do forget.

Just get 'em here.

Mine don't even have to know
how to cook, Roy.

Well, I don't guarantee
their looks.

One man's eye for beauty
is another man's eyesore.

But you know me.

You know I don't give
my word lightly.

One thing I can
and will promise,

they'll be good women.

Make sure you'll be good enough
for 'em.

Make sure you treat 'em
with patience

understanding, honesty.

They'll be your fortune.

Make sure you make it
a good fortune.

For yourselves, for them,

and for the children
they'll bear you.

God help ya if you don't.

You'll answer to me.

Bye. Take care of my valley.

- Alright, Roy.
- Bye-bye.

Hurry back.

- So long, Buck.
- Hurry back.

- Good trip.
- Bye-bye.

They're good men.

Yeah, let's get one thing
straight.

Whether you get your good women
or not, I get my money.

That's right,
but I'll get the good women.

You really think
you'll find a 150 women

who will come across hell
to marry a bunch like that?

You saw the look on their faces.

You think these good men will
marry those good women

once they get here?

Yes.

They're crazy.

Yeah, crazy enough
to carve a home

out of the wilderness.

That kind of crazy I like.

I'm sorry, but...

- Why?
- Sorry, ma'am.

- But I don't see why we can't?
- I'm sorry.

Come on.

Patience Hawley.

Aye-aye, Captain.

New Bedford, Massachusetts?

That's my home port,

but I figured it was time to
scrape my haul and weigh anchor.

You state your age
in your application here,

but, looking at you, I...

Smoke N'Oakum,
you couldn't hope for a woman

to stay the right age,

but, I can carry my own tonnage.

And, maybe a little extra
to boot.

Sign right here, please.

Give up,
you're wasting your time.

- Why?
- Why?

The old goat don't like the way
we're dressed, that's why.

See ya on stage.

And remember when you do
your high kicks,

stop aiming
at the back of my head.

Okay, honey.
I'll aim a little lower.

Ms. Rose Meyers.

By your application, Ms. Meyers,
you're a school teacher.

Yes, sir.

Good. I'll need help
with our records.

Someone to keep a journal
of our trip.

Sign right here, please.

Mrs. Antonio Moroni?

Si.

Where's your husband?

Prego!

Your husband?

Your, your man.
You know, man.

I don't understand.

Morto...

Sorry.

You're sure you want
to go to California?

California? Si, si.

Si.

They look good to me.

Alright, you

sign.

Antonio...

Moroni.

- Aye.
- Esto es Poli Moroni.

Poli, Toni, mi mama.

Aye, fine.

Well, that does it.

How many all told?

138.

Well, that's just about...

Mr. Whitman, please.

I'm Mademoiselle Fifi Danon,

and this is Miss Smith.

Miss Laurie Smith.

I see.

I'm sorry we're a little late,
but it was very necessary.

Very.

Why do you want to go
to California?

Well, I come from a very famous,
very old French family.

You see,
my grandfather came over,

and he settled down
in New Orleans.

But my grandfather,
he could not settle down.

He had it in his blood, you see.

So, he helped to discover
the Mississippi

and the Missouri
and the Great Lakes

and even some
of the little lakes.

Miss Danon, why do you
want to go to California?

We want a change.

Of what?

Of scenery.

Would it be a permanent change?

Oui, monsieur.

Yes, Mr. Whitman.

Permanent.

Sign here.

Thank you, ladies.

Merci. Merci bien.

Thank you, Mr. Whitman.

They'll do.

They'll be alright.

It's your train.

You better get ready.

You're gonna talk to our ladies.

We got plenty to tell 'em.

Ladies.

Ladies, we journey

from here to St. Louis by boat

and by boat
from St. Louis to Independence.

There are wagon trains
all ready for us.

Purchased, completely outfitted.

It's waiting
to take you the 2,000 miles

to my California valley.

Now, you face
a heartbreaking journey.

And to tell you about it,

I'll call now on Mr. Wyatt,
our guy.

Mr. Wyatt?

We jump off from Independence.

We cross the big Blue River,
the Little Blue,

the Platte, the Sweetwater,

South Pass over the Rockies,

down to the big Salt Lake,
then the desert.

It's a long, hard grind
with no let-up.

Rain, hail as big as eggs,

breakdowns, prairie fires,
sandstorms,

dust storms, alkali water,

no water.

Cholera, Indians,
drowning, stampedes,

stupid accidents.

You'll pass graves everywhere.

Milestones along the way.

One out of every
three of you will be dead

before you get
to his California valley.

So if you're smart,
you'll leave by that door.

It's my best advice, follow it.
Now.

Alright. You asked for it,
you'll get it.

Can any of ya handle a horse?

I don't mean just ride,
I mean handle.

Can any of ya
handle a team of mules?

A team of four mean,
iron-mouthed mules?

Your names, please.

Ina Brit.

Martha Jones.

Jean Johnson.

Margaret O'Malley.

Thanks.

Can any of ya handle a gun?

I mean shoot it
and hit what you're shooting at.

Is that what you meant?

That's what I meant.

By the way, I wouldn't
wear those frilly fluffy

feminine things
you've got on now.

Or those high heels. You've got
a long ways to walk.

Sometimes you'll ride. But most
of the time, you'll walk.

We're not gonna overload
our wagons.

The mules will have
enough to haul.

Get yourselves clothes that are
rough, tough, and comfortable.

Wouldn't hurt you to wear pants.

I mean pants.

I've hired on 15 men
at Independence, good men.

They've all got their work
cut out for them.

You four...

Jones, Brent,

Johnson, and O'Malley,

you'll have to teach
these good women

how to drive mules, how to...

And just one more thing.
Get this.

Stay away from my men.

I...

I thought you might like to know

what your husbands
will look like.

So I had these pictures
taken of 'em.

So, ladies,
choose your partners.

Smoke N'Oakum.
What are you waiting for?

There they are.

A face like a mackerel.

Which one do you like?

Which one...

Hey, cherie, pick from
the pictures on the wall.

We're starting in good time.

There'll be plenty of feed
for the stock

and not too many ahead of us
yet to crop it thin.

We got good equipment,
the best I ever took across.

You can say that again.

You've all made it before.

You're good.
That's why I've picked you.

I know you, and you know me.

When you sign on,
what I say goes. You understand?

The first thing I say
is stay away from the women.

You understand, Ken?

Gee, Buck, you know me.

Yeah, I know you.
That's what I mean.

Ken, move aside there.

What are you doing here?

I go to California.

What's your name?

Ito Yoshisuke Takeyoshi
Gennesuke Kentaro.

What was that?

Ito Yoshisuke Takeyoshi
Gennesuke Kentaro.

Stand up, Ito.

Are you standing or sitting?

I stand.

Where's the rest of you?

Not much of me.

But I fight anybody here.

I fight you, too, big boss.

I get licked, but I fight.

Can you cook?

Anybody, first job.

First job.

Just keep the coffee hot and
handy. I hate women's cooking.

You've all got your own horses.

You got a long trip
ahead of you.

What did you say?

I say. "Enough talk. Let's go."

You heard the man. Let's go.

150 women.
This is gonna be great.

- Bart?
- Yeah?

- You ain't going.
- What do you mean?

You ain't going.
I meant what I said.

- Stay away from the women.
- Now, Buck...

Don't do that.

You ain't going.

Raise it over your head
and then straight out.

Just like
you were chopping wood.

Now buckle your hames.

- What's this strap for?
- That's your belly band.

Now buckle it.

Now, you buckle
your tail proper.

Now we're ready to hook 'em up.

Steady 'em. Steady 'em down.

Easy. Not too fast now.

Steady 'em.
Steady 'em down.

Easy now.

Easy.

Easy.

I'm fouled.

The port mules
on the starboard side,

and the starboard mules
on the port side.

Alright, try it again.
You'll learn.

Smoke N'Oakum, I know I'll
learn, but will they learn?

Alright, my bullies.

Heave.

Heave lively!

Heave!

Alright, Ms. Meyers,
sign 'em on.

When you men are through,

I want you to get this train
stretched out for the morning.

We get an early start.

Sign right here, please.

Don't you know
how to write your name?

Would you, care to teach me?

Next, please.

Ready?

Take 'em to my valley.

All set?

- All set!
- All set!

- All set!
- All set!

- All set!
- All set!

- All set!
- All set!

All set!

Better run for your lives.

You don't think
they've learned how to drive?

I think they have.

Let's find out.

Stretch out!

Mule!

Mule! Get 'em, mules!

- Get in there, mules!
- Get on it.

Get in there! Take a horse.

Come on! Pull it!

Mules.

Mules!

Push to the left.

- Let's get out of there!
- Come on.

- Perfect start.
- Come on!

Want me to pat you
on the back now?

No, not yet. I'll tell you when.

You see,
you overlooked one thing.

What was that?

The will of a woman

when there's a wedding ring
in sight.

What'd you say?

I say.

That landlubber's been riding
off our quarter

for the last three days.

You know who he is?

I think his name is Sid.

Sidney Cutler.

On this voyage, there's to be no
he-ing and she-ing.

He's taken an interest in you,
or haven't you noticed?

You've been married,
haven't you, Patience?

Aye. Have you?

No.

Never.

My man's dead.

Him and my three boys with him.

They all went down together
off Cape Horn.

Took the biggest storm in half
a century to sink my man.

I'm sorry.

That's alright.

Mind your course there.

Stop it!

Here, try some of these.
It's very good.

- Please. Let me help you.
- No.

Way out here
in the middle of nowhere.

Why do they all try so hard
to keep looking their best?

- You don't know women.
- Me?

You're young yet, my boy.

Wait till you've had
as many mudbaths as I have.

You'll learn.

I got a job for you.

Roust around and see
if you can find the grave

of a Jim Quackenbush.

Jim Quackenbush?

Yeah, Jim Quackenbush.

Jim Quackenbush.
Okay, I roust.

Jim Quackenbush.

Hey, Patience?

Get some of the women, to
collect the tops of the clover.

Cook 'em up.

It's what the Indians do,
and they don't get the scurvy.

Maggie? Jean!

Weigh anchor on your toes.

We're going to eat clover.

Well?

No Jim Quackenbush.

Just keep on trying.

Tomorrow?

Yeah, tomorrow.

Pardon me.

May I ask big boss why

he look for Jim Quackenbush?

'Cause we've been pals
for years.

Inseparable pals.

I couldn't live without him.

Couldn't live without him?

But he's dead.

You got to live without him.

No, I don't.

Tell me.

Big boss alright in the head?

Big boss alright in the head.

What'd you say?

I say my night prayer.

- You know you want to.
- But I don't.

Then, why not?

Get on your horse and get out.

Take it easy, Buck.
It's a long way back.

No one can go it alone.

You can try.

You're making a mistake.

You're right. I should kill him.

We need every man we've got.

This kind of fun
will rip a train wide open.

I've seen it happen.

On most trains, the law
against bundling is 30 lashes.

On my train, it's a bullet.

So, use your heads.

Stop your pleasuring
and stay alive.

Now, get going.

I'm being paid a lot of extra
money to get this train through.

I'm getting it through.

Alright, settle down, everybody.

Got to get up with the birdies.

I hope no man
comes sailing around me.

Thought you'd be in on this,
Danon.

Me?

You.

No.

Don't you ever shave?

You always look so dirty.

Hey, cherie.

Don't you go getting ideas.

It is not me who get the ideas.

It is ideas who gets me.

Well, how about that.

And all that big talk of yours.

"Come on, Laurie,

we go to California.

"It is a new country
and a new start.

Come on, Laurie, we go to be
a different kind of flower."

Yeah.

That is what I said.
That is what I mean.

But the ideas

they still get me.

Here we go again.

Come on.

Come on.

You sick?

Smoke N'Oakum.

What is it?

Does anybody know about it?

Back home, they all know.

That's why I'm going
out west, Patience.

I've done wrong.

I've suffered for it.

I don't want my baby to.

Home, it'd have
no chance at all.

But out there

it'll have everything.

Even a father.

Don't you worry, Rose.

He won't run aground.

Injuns! Form a circle!

Giddy-up, mule!
Giddy-up. Giddy-up.

Giddy-up, mule!
Giddy-up, mule!

Giddy-up!

Men, I need some teams!

Take your firing positions.

You women, get the junk
out of your wagons!

Pile it up, get behind it.

Work fast!

I don't know how to shoot.

Hold it for me!

The chief said their arrows are
not strong against our bullets.

Think we're alright for a while.

Says it'll be another time.
It will be.

What did you say?

I say I wore out.
Let's take day off.

You heard the man.

Wake up and listen!

For the women only!

The rest of the day, a holiday!

Don't shoot, don't shoot.
It's me!

Danon.

Why can't you call me Ms. Danon
like you call all the others?

Is that what you came up
here to see me about?

If I'm still Danon,
and we get to California,

California won't be any
different for me than Chicago.

Don't worry, Danon.

Not all the men in California
want to get married.

You for instance?

Me for instance.

I've heard about your mudbath.

That's a good perfume you use.

The best.

Does it bother you, Buck?

Get yourself back to the train.

Rule holds for everyone.
That goes for you and me, too.

I told Roy Whitman
back in California...

Now you tell me
the story of your life.

Let me tell you mine.

It's much more interesting.

I know yours.

May I have the pleasure?

You may not.

Am I any different
then all the rest?

Not a bit.

And remember,
stay away from the women.

- It's a sting bat.
- Sting bat?

off the end of that stick.

Hey, Patience,
did you see the sting bat?

What's a sting bat?

Go look at him.

Sting bat.

Patience, have you ever
seen a sting bat?

Have you seen Laurie?
Have you seen Laurie?

Have you ever seen a sting bat?

Have you seen Laurie?

- No.
- No.

Mosquito.

No grave, no Jim Quackenbush.

Keep looking.

What did you say?

I say, what kind of a place
did he pick?

He didn't pick any place.
I picked it for him.

That's right. I forgot.
He's dead.

Ghost!

Ghost!

She's not dead.

Nothing's happened to her that
didn't happen to her before.

All I did was
rough her up a little.

I told her not to make a fuss,
she wouldn't listen.

You remember what I told you
I was gonna do.

You're gonna give me a chance
to draw, aren't you?

Thanks, Maggie.

One man gone and two dead.

It's gonna be tough getting
to your valley, Roy.

Make up your mind, Sid.

We sign on for California,
but it's just not enough of us

to take a train through,
and you know it.

This man's gone loco,
killing men.

Why, he'd kill any one of us.

Stick with him,
and he'll kill you.

Make up your mind quick.

Come with me, Rose.
We'll make it back alright.

- Don't ya love me?
- I do.

Well, then come with me.

I can't.

Why?

- Because I'm...
- Look...

If it's that...

You know?

Yeah. Patience told me.

And you still want me?

You're all that counts.

Will you come with me, Rose?

No, Sid.

Why not?

Just that, you think it's wrong
to leave the others, is that it?

I've done enough wrong
for a whole lifetime.

You coming, Sid?

Suit yourself, and good luck.
You'll need it.

Buck? Buck?

The Men are gone.
Eight of the women with them.

It's you, me, Sid, and Ito.

Well, what are you waiting
for? Get the coffee going.

- Well?
- We turn back.

We do?

We've come nearly half way.

Thank God it's the easy half
we'll face going back.

We're not going back.

My job is taking trains through.

You lose a train,
nobody ever hires you again.

I've seen it happened to
Big Joe Keasling, Sam Dunnage.

It's not gonna happen to me.

I don't care
what happens to you.

It's these women I care about.
You can't get 'em through it.

It can't be done
with women alone.

Then I'll make men
out of your women, Roy.

When you breed cattle in that
valley of yours,

you kill off the weak ones.

By the time we get to that
valley, you'll know the women

who are left are fit stock.

I'll work 'em till their
skin and bone and muscle.

Once we get there,
you can fatten 'em up.

Wake up and listen!

Wake up!

Wake up!

During the night, the men left.

All but us four.

And with them went
eight very wise women.

You get time to think,

you might feel sorry
for yourselves.

You might get a little envious
of those eight very wise women.

So, ladies, I'm gonna drive you
till you're too tired to think!

And the first thing
you'll learn is to shoot.

Get out of bed.

Get yourselves fed
and prettied up.

And meet me up there.

Bring the rifles
out of your wagons.

Now, get going!

Get that dumb cow look
off your faces

and get going!

A cup of coffee, Roy?

What did you say?

I say they're going to
hate your guts.

I hope they do.

You won't be shooting
unless you're being shot at.

And if you don't kill them,
they'll kill you.

See there.

Hit 'em.

Now, hug it close to your body.

A bulls eye.

Splice the main brace.
A bulls eye.

Cock it first.

Look, always aim a little low,
it makes up for the kick.

Taking you a long time
to get the hang of it.

I'm not very bright.

Now, steady.

Steady. Shoot!

I'm sorry.

You got to hug it close
to your shoulder.

Like throwing a punch.

Got to keep your elbow
close to your body,

then when you let it go...

See what I mean?

I see.

But I'm not sure what you meant.

He... he just
handed her the gun.

The...

Better get him away
from there, Patience.

See what you can do, Roy.

Alright, come on.

You got a lot ahead of you.

Got a lot to learn.
Let's get going.

Let's get going!

She won't leave.
I can't make her understand.

She hasn't said a word.
Not a word.

Try to get what I'm saying.

You can't stay here.

It won't do you any good or him.

Now, come on, please.

You aren't leaving her?

Sure.

Seen a lot of 'em go crazy
on the trail.

They don't last long.

Well, you can't talk to a woman
who doesn't understand

what you're talking about.

You didn't get any place
with her.

What do you think I can do?

You know what to do.

Hey, Patience? Pull out!

Just keep talking to her.

Thanks.
What do I use for language?

Ito!

Bring the dog over here
and tie her up

under Patience's wagon.

Smoke N'Oakum.

Keep talking to ya, he says.

Well, that's like
talking to a seal.

What does he want me to do,
throw you a fish?

Get up there!

Don't get excited, honey. Just
stroll closer to the wagon.

Patience?

Patience, please.

Can't we untie her now?

No.

She might kill herself.

Not your face.

Easy there, now.

Easy.

Watch out, you nearly
stepped on my glasses.

Then don't leave 'em around
for me to step on.

Stow your gap.

Both of you, stow it.

Poli? Poli.

Poli.

I forgot.

You no catch Japanese.

I tell you in American.

I like you very much.

I never be as good a boss
to you as the little boy.

But I try so hard.

Please, Poli, come with me.

Come with me, Poli.

I have first-job stories
to tell you.

I teach you Japanese,
so you catch.

Wait till you eat my cooking.

I make a man out of you.

I never yet cook for little dog

who don't like my cooking.

That's a good girl, Poli.

That's a good girl.

Look out! Watch it.

I'm sorry.

You mean you're sorry
you missed me,

you dirty little no good...

Come on, get to it.
Get your...

She never speak a word.

Too bad she's the only one.

What's the matter? That rock
a little too heavy for you?

I do the best I can.

Why don't you do better
than "ze" best you can.

Mean all the time.

Take it easy, cherie.
Take it easy.

You can only do so much.
Don't let him get you...

Keep your mouth shut up!

Heave!

Heave!

Heave!

Alright, who's next?

Come on, it's been done before.

Right here.

The only difference was,
it was done my men.

By men?

Alright, make me fast me,
me hotties.

Stern your stubs.

Easy.

Easy there.

Easy now.

Easy.

Easy there.

Easy.

Mind your helm.

Bring it down, easy!

Hold back on 'em!

You're giving 'em too much head.

Shut up, ya landlubber.

Get these bullies on the prod.

I can handle them myself.

Easy. Easy.

Take it easy. Come on.

If you weren't so big
I'd kiss ya.

Alright, who's next?

Dig out my spice bag.

We are going to have
Rabbit a la Danon.

Bring her out!

Missed.

Stand back there you...

Get in there!

Get back!
Bring that key wagon in here!

Come on. Get up here!

Got a broken bone, I guess.

Don't tell me you're
worried about me.

You know I wouldn't die anywhere
but in Whitman's Valley.

Might not even die there.

I may decide to live forever.

Danon? Danon!

Danon!

You see what ya started?

It wasn't her fault.
It could have happened...

What do you mean
it wasn't her fault?

Who fired that gun?

Mules are crazy,
but there isn't a one

on the train
you couldn't learn from.

Don't talk to me in that lingo.

I don't know what
you are talking about,

and I don't want to.

Shut up!

Roy was out of his mind

to sign you on,
you and your partner.

From now on, Danon,
stick close to your wagon.

Don't move away from it.

Everything ya touch,
you foul up.

What'd you say?

I say you wrong, big boss.

You drive too hard.

No man do what these ladies do.

And this lady Danon,
she do two, three times more.

Don't you tell me I'm wrong.

Even if I am.

When you wrong, big boss,
I tell you.

Even if you am.

Buck! Buck?
Danon's running away.

You crazy, no-good...

That was for riding
that horse to death.

And what was that one for?

That was for me.

Did I knock any sense into ya?

Yes. Thank you.

I'll be alright now.

Where'd ya think you were going?

I didn't care.

Well, let's... let's get back.

But you did.

Did what?

Came after me.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

- Get ready.
- For what?

I'm going to tell you
how much I love you.

- Yes?
- Yep.

From the first time
I saw your beautiful face.

- What?
- It's beautiful to me.

It's a nice, rugged face.

Beard and all. I love it.

Did you like to hear that?

Yeah.

Well, I like to hear that, too.

Alright.

You've got a nice, rugged face.
Beard and all.

Cherie.

Is that all?

You want me to tell ya
I love ya?

Is it so difficult?

Well, don't you think
it's kind of

a little too quick
for a man to...

First time anything's been
too quick for you. Isn't it?

Get your head back
where it belongs.

Like this?

Like "zat."

Hang on!

Good. I've been
waiting for you.

Roy, I'm sorry.
If I hadn't been out...

What difference
would it have made?

You think you could chop down
a hundred Indians

with your own little hatchet?

One thing I had to tell you.

If... if you'll pardon me
while I die.

Listen to me.

When you said you could get
the women through

without the men,
I wasn't sure you could.

Now, I know they can make it.

Take 'em.

Take 'em to my valley.

You can pat my back now.

Sorry, Roy.

He says the women can make it.

I don't think they can.
Not after this.

He was wrong.

He's right.

Maybe.

Ladies?

Ladies?

Ladies, Mr. Whitman is dead.

The last thing he said was

take the women through
to my valley.

I'm sorry I can't do it.

You've fought and you've died,

but there's just too much
against you.

Ladies, we start back
in the morning.

Not me!

Not me!

Not me!

- Not me!
- Not me!

Not me!

Not me.

Not me.

Just leave us the map,
Mr. Wyatt.

Alright, ladies, if that's
the way you want it,

that's the way you'll get it.

How many did we lose?

Susan Brewster.

Susan Brewster.

Nora O'Brien.

Nora O'Brien.

Emma Radaman.

Emma Radaman.

Dorothy Taylor.

Dorothy Taylor.

Helen Smith.

Helen Smith.

Sophia Carig.

Sophia Carig.

Sidney Cutler.

Big boss, what that?

Indian burial ground.

They bury 'em high.

It gives 'em a start
up to the happy hunting ground.

There's your chance
to get yourself a scalp cheap.

What do ya say?

I say no thanks.

They don't want happy
with hair on.

You still looking
for Jim Quackenbush's grave?

No find yet.

Keep looking.

Hey, Patience. Leave 'em alone.

Fighting it out like
a couple of ladies.

Get back!

Bring that key wagon in here.

Get back...

Hey, big boss! Hey!

I find Jim Quackenbush.

You what?

I find Jim Quackenbush!

Well, you sweet baby!

Picked the right night.

"Jim Quackenbush."

There he is.

Get a shovel.

- Big boss, cholera.
- Get a shovel!

- Get two shovels.

- One shovel.
- Two shovels!

Two shovels.

Dig. Come on, dig.

Hold on.

Dig.

Dig.

Easy now. Don't jam
that shovel in too deep.

Take it easy.

Well, not that easy.

Big boss, why we be so careful?

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

Rum.

That's one name for it.

What'd you say?

I say, "Good old Quackenbush."

Are you loco?
What are you doing?

I see dance show
in St. Louis.

Bad man say...

"You must pay the rent."

"But I can't pay the rent."

"You must pay the rent."

"But I can't pay the rent."

"I'll pay the rent."

"My hero."

How'd you like to make
a bullwhip crack like that?

I tried to make
a bullwhip crack like that.

And like that.

And like that.

Help!

Help! Help!

Something happened
to one of the wagons.

Poor Laurie.

My poor Laurie.

Laurie.

but deliver
us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory

forever.

Amen.

Wake up and listen!

You've got to travel light!

Go through your wagons and junk

everything you don't need.

It gets awful hot out there.

We should wait till sundown,

but we just don't
have enough water.

Alright, start unloading.

You've come ringing a long way.

You ain't gonna
stop ringing now.

That's all my pretty things.

I just can't.

What am I gonna look like
when he sees me?

That's all you could
bear to part with?

Alright, have it your own way.

You'll get rid of more.

There'll be no more riding
on the wagons.

There's alkali pits out there.

Sand's so soft
you can drown in it.

So, watch your steps.

Alright, let's get moving.

Stretch out!

Steady there, Jack.
Son, take it easy now.

Steady there now.

Jack.
Take it easy now.

Got a broken shoulder.

Get back.

Stop the wagon, Happy!

What do you think you're doing?

Get her out of that wagon!

She's going to have a baby.

Out here?

Yes, out here.

Danon, stay close.

Drive on, Happy.

Brownies, too. Let's go.

What'd you say?

I say, "Poor little woman.
Poor little woman."

Yeah.

Come on. Get a hold.

Leave it!

Push.

It's a boy. It's a he!

- I'll take him.
- I'll take him.

Easy. Let him down easy.

Isn't he wonderful?

- He's beautiful.
- Look at him. You're so big.

How about that?
Look at 'em.

Like it was home sweet home.

Yes.

Listen.

He's beautiful.

Alright, ladies.

Please?

Ladies, please?

Let's get moving.

Stretch out!

Pete, Zephyr.

Go there!

Water!

What news! Water!

Giddiyup! Giddiyup!

What's wrong?
You're here.

Whitman's valley's
right over the hill.

Who's having a baby now?

Nobody.

- Well, then, what...
- We're not going into town.

- You're not what?
- These clothes are rags.

We don't go in
looking like tramps.

You go and get things
that make us look like ladies.

Frou-frou, feminine things.

We don't move till you do.

And listen.

If the men come near us
before we're ready,

they never go back.

We mean what she says.

And no fooling.

Alright, ladies,
if that's the way you want it.

Let's let the taps down.

Get everything shipshape.

There's a freshening breeze,
a nice smell,

men ahead!

Buck Wyatt's back!

Ya! Buck Wyatt's back!

Buck Wyatt's back!

Women! Women! Women!

Ya! Buck's back.
Women! Women!

Buck Wyatt's here!

Where's Roy, Buck?

- Roy is dead.
- What?

Roy is dead.

But what about the women?
Where are they?

- Yeah, where...
- Where are they?

Where are they, Buck?
Where's the women?

- Yeah, come on...
- They're just over the hill.

You're not going anywhere.

You've had them for yourself
for the last four months.

The rest of you can stay,
but me, I'm going.

They're none of you are going.

This is the way
the women want it,

this is the way it's gonna be.

They won't come into town
until they look their best.

You get within 100 yards
of them, they'll shoot you.

Right here.

You.

You were one of the first
to come west.

And you were
in the Donner party.

Yeah, you had it rough, alright.

But none of you came through
the hell these women did.

These are women.

Good women. Great women.

Just make sure
you're men enough for 'em.

Make sure you treat 'em right.

Because God help you
if you don't.

Whitman's gone,
but I'm still here.

They must be great.

Now, I know you wouldn't
have any

women's under drawers around,

but you might have
some cloths and kerchiefs

some Indian blankets.

Spread the word.

Round up anything and everything

that might look good on a lady.

- Yeah!
- Come on!

Yeah. Come on, let's go.

We'll all help.

What did you bring?

Isn't that wonderful!

I know what I can do.

There's some more tablecloths.

I got some of the di...

All set?

All set!

Stretch out!

Stretch out!

Alright, stand where you are.

Try not to act like a bunch
of goggle-eyed kids.

And, look, when they pull up
in front of the pavilion here,

help them, I said help them
down from their wagons.

Let them go in first.

Come on, Rosie.
Get up, Jake.

Come on, Rosie.

Get up, Jake.

Come on.

You can look us over,
but don't think

you're going to do the choosing.

All the way from Independence,
I've been staring at two things.

One was this picture and the
other was the rump of a mule,

and don't ask me which one
was prettier.

This picture got me across,

and I got this picture across.

And nobody chooses him but me.

Don't get a breeze up.
It ain't you.

It's you!

Smoke N'Oakum,
what are you waiting for?

This is no time to be bashful.

A red head. You're much prettier
than I expected.

You look tall in your picture.

Don't worry, I'm tall enough.

You are Italian.

And we will have many oranges.

Many, many oranges.

May I have this dance?

What do we do about my baby?

I'll take care of him.

Next.

Can't you cut out a few
of the little words?

You cross over 1,500 miles.

You no can cross 15 feet?

Other women crossed.

Oak N'Smokum.

No time for be bashful.

Where are you going?

I'm not going any place.

Waiting for you to come out
and stop me.

Stop!

There's a line over there.

I shaved.

Nice and smooth.

It's a beautiful face.

And I love it.
