All language subtitles for Ride a Crooked Trail (1958)_Eng - Corrected through line 270

Your name is?

George Blunt, out of Fort Smith.

That's what them letters say?

Now you know I can't read writin'.
Here, you look at it.

Never mind.

That beard is three week old.
Our man's clean shaved.

Ride in Mr. Blunt. Pay for what you drink,
keep your gun in the leather

and there won't be no further trouble.

Howdy, Tom.

What's this all about judge?

Ah-h, fellow by the name of Joe
Maybe hit a bank in Muscogee.

Didn't get nothin', but they didn't get him.
Claim he is heading this way.

How'd you know that?

Oh-h, we're gettin' real civilized.

Got a wire you can talk through
and you can riddle what it says.

Now move along, Tom.
You hold up the law.

Civilization!... Now giddup.

Wire talking!

Just a minute there, son.

Where're you from?

Upriver.

We're looking for a man
from upriver.

Dressed like you,
looks like you.

Might even wear the same name.

What name you wearin'?

Would it make any difference?

Heh! Might look pretty on the
board we'll put over you .

Otherwise we'll just write:
"Here lies Joe Maybe.

He tried to rob a bank in Muskogee."

Relying you've got the cost
of all that letterin'.

See what he's got.

Slide out the saddle.
Easy like.

Don't try it!

Noonan?

You're Jim Noonan,
from Indian Territory.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you ask me?

Are you sure about this, judge?

Sure I'm sure. Ain't no one but Noonan
wears a broken star

and no one but Noonan would shoot me
for being a full.

Marshal,

I owe you a drink.

Follow me.

Why doesn't he fall down?

I've seen him shot 6 times
and he never does.

Lessin' he's drunk.

Funny thing, Marshal.
Wonder why we never got to meet.

Just lucky I guess, judge.

I used to know old Bill McClintock.

Him that wore the badge up
in Indian Territory before you.

He did?

Got drunk with him a week
before he got himself killed.

Sam Teeler from the Pecos done it.
Never did meet Sam either.

I've heard of him.

Careful. When you meet him
you may lose another point off that star.

I'll be careful.

Confound it man, ain't one hole enough.
What for you are making another?

To bad it was not through your head.

The doc here don't like me on account
of I never send him any patients.

Let's have that jug, will you Marshal?

All his trade goes to Jetson the undertaker.

And I happened to know
he pays you $10 a head.

Only if the deceased can afford it.

Should I keep 'em sittin'
or can I tell 'em there's no court today?

There's court today.
Get my work clothes.

Hold on, marshal.

You sittin' with me, you're my guest.

Oyez! Oyez! Stand up! Everybody stand up!

Court's in session!

Sit down, sit down...

What we are doing today?

The first case is a railroad
against Dan Watson.

This here's a railroad condemnation proceeding.
Won't take long.

Proceed and be brief.

Your Honor.

When the company I represent
agreed to make this city

the terminus of it's Western Division,

we were assured that the necessary
right-of-way to the river bank could be obtained

at reasonable prices.

We have offered Mr. Watson
$1000 for a warehouse

a portion of which
we must remove for suitable clearance.

His price is 20,000
and I say this is outrageous.

Suppose you let me say what's outrageous.
What do you got to say, Dan?

Counsel Hatchins will do my talking.

If he does - you lose.

I demand a change of venue!
This court is prejudiced, and admits it!

You're right, it's prejudiced.
On account of you're a liar and cheat.

Now if you don't like them words,

take me to the court.

Why're you asking $20,000, Dan?

I figured the railroad
can afford it.

Well.. it's an honest statement,
only it ain't unreasonable.

I figure this railroad's
pretty important to our town.

Tell you
what you do, Dan?

You let them have what they need
of the warehouse for $2000

or I'll have them build the loading
platforms and wall up what's left for nothin'.

I'm not sure I can agree
to that, your Honor.

You'll agree on account of it's the law.

The law?

What I say, that's the law on the river.
Pay Dan $2000.

And don't nobody leave.

I want you to meet Marshal Noonan.

This man carries a proud badge.

Used to belong to Bill McClintock
who died wearing it.

Old Bill got it from Jeff Tailor who
kept the law down on the Pecos.

You'll be seeing the badge a lot.
Look out for the gun behind it.

The marshal is going to keep things
peaceful and quiet here in town,

'til I can thumb back to hammer.

I'm afraid I can't
agree to that, Judge.

You'd better, it's a law.

Courts adjourned and drinks
is on the railroad up 'til midnight.

I'll give you $10 a day, cartridges
and a brand new hat. That fair enough?

More than fair, Judge. But there's
a good reason why I can't accept it.

Don't want to hear it.

But I want you to hear it.

Look, there is a town up in the Kansas
called Abilene...

Railroad won't ever get there.

Won't do 'em no good if it does. We're
fixing to bring the trail herds in here.

And you gonna like this town, Marshal.
Even give you a house, rent free.

Yeah, but I'm supposed to be...
Son, you talk too much.

'Bout time we get down
to some serious drinking.

Here, take this off. Get my shirt.

Where is your badge?

Come on, unpin it.

People are gonna be proud
to see this badge, Marshal.

I think you'd be proud to show it.

Two good men,
both of them dead.

How come your name has been out it?

I'm not dead.

Might as well tell
you, Judge, I'm...

I'm a little concerned
about our new marshal.

You mean you wouldn't like to be dancin'
with all them fancy girls?

You'd know I would.

No, it's just think... Noonan seems
mighty young for a US Marshal.

They're all young in the territories.
Don't get a chance to grow old.

You made it.

'Сause I know put on no
fancy gun show.

I never give a trigger-happy
gunman an even break.

Judge Kyle!

Madigan's in town.
And he is drunk and nasty.

So, I see. I thought I've told
you to keep away from him.

May be you forgot to tell him!

I told him to keep out of town.

It's a good way to get
you self killed, Marshal.

Is it?

You his girl?

Madigan thinks I am.
And he is coming here to prove it.

Give me a shotgun.

Now, Judge. I'm not goin' to let you
get you self killed. Not by Madigan.

You stop your announces and
give me that gun.

Could be he heard
about your bad arm.

Still leaves me one good one.

Judge, we're payin' Noonan $10 a day
to take care of men like him.

Yeah, and he'd like to meet Madigan.
Wouldn't you Marshal?

Not exactly, but...

I'll be here.

You figure to out draw Madigan?
If I have to...

You are right, he is a mite young.
I'll put some age on 'em.

You come along with me, son.

Buy Little Brandy a drink, Ben.

Here's to us.

Not 'til I see who comes back.

This ones on me.

Starting tomorrow you'll have to keep
town peaceful. Handle the riffraft.

Step right over here, son.

What are we hiding for?
Keep shut!

You old goat. He had his face in the dirt!

Best time to hit him. Never give
the other guy an even break.

Forgot to tell ya,
Madigan's mob fights the same way.

Come on.

Rest of 'em will be in there.

Buy you a drink?

You got an empty.
You got two left.

You've got 10 minutes
to get out of town, all of you.

That doesn't include you, ladies.

Pour them a drink.

Throw me a bottle.

Son, you ain't never gonna last.

What would you've done if they started
shooting and you with 2 cartridges?

I guess I didn't think.

Well, I'm gonna teach you to think.

We are paying you to keep order,
not put on fancy gun shows.

This is a tough town.
Only one way to keep it clean...

Yea, I know. Never give the
other guy an even break.

Hey, throw me a bottle, will ya.

Steamboat's a comin', Judge!

Jimmy...

Where'd I get this?

He gave it to you.

Where'd I get him?

He's your new marshal.

How drunk was I?

Falling down drunk.

How drunk was the marshal?

But same.

Put a gold piece in your jar.

I did.

You gonna be the richest boy in
college if I keep gettin' drunk.

Take $20 from the marshal.

He's broke.

I'll pay his fine. Wake him up.

Who are you?
Jimmy.

Who am I?

You're drunk.
And you've got fined $20.

Jimmy is a ward of the court.
He keeps house for me here.

Uh, the wash basin's over there, Marshal.

Oh no!

Better get goin' boy.
We got a lot of work to do.

Here try some of this coffee.
It's great for hangovers.

You shouldn't get hangover.

Neither should you.

That's a point well taken.

His dad must be a lawyer.

Jimmy ain't got no dad.

His mother used to work in the
"River Palace". She died.

And the other girls
just sort of adopted him?

How would you know that?

It happens.

Nice folks in town didn't
think it's fittin',

thought he might learn bad in a saloon.
It could be right.

It could be.

I heard the gangplank going out, judge.

Eat'em up fast, Marshal.
It's work time.

Can I bring my gun?
'Course! What else?

You like rabbit stew, marshal?

Jimmy is real handy with his gun.

Sometimes he brings in
a dozen cottomtails.

Makes real good stew.

Judge, you sure we're in your house?

Well sure I'm sure.

That's what I was afraid of.

Been a bachelor, it's all
the a house that I need.

Jimmy likes it too.

Now ah-h, let's separate
the sheep from the goats.

Step right over
there, Mister.

One of the boys'll put
your luggage back aboard.

I'm not going back aboard.

Oh, yes, you are.

On account of we get all the
gamblers we need in town right now.

Got all of fancy girls we need too.
Step right over there with him, Miss.

Look, mister, this is a free country.
I go where I want.

You are absolutely right.

Only you don't stop where you want,
not if it happens to be in my town.

Now get out over there like good girl.
Go on now.

Morning, Mrs. Willright, morning, Tom.
Have youself a nice trip up the river?

Great pleasure. Thank you, Judge.
I've got something for Jimmy.

Brought it all the way from Natchez.

And it isn't a gun.

Thank you, Ma'am.
I'll be up to get it.

- Morning, Mrs. Ray. Morning, Sam.
- Morning, judge.

Oh, step right over there
with your friend, mister.

Who said so?

I'm not fixin' to fight the law.

- Morning, Mrs. Bilbo.
- Morning. - Morning, judge.

Maybe!

Maybe, darling.

Don't use my name here.

- You are hurting my back.
- I'll break it if you don't keep quiet.

What name she called you?

It's... Sort of a nickname, judge.

Tessa always calls me "Baby".

- I wish you wouldn't.
- Why not, Baby?

"Baby"?

I wouldn't take that from any woman.

You would if... she was your wife.

She has been in New Orleans, shopping.
She was supposed to meet me here

and then we would going on to Abilene.

Mrs. Noonan.
Them plans have been changed.

Your husband is gonna stay
right here, ma'am.

- He is not my...

She's a strong minded woman, Judge. If she said that I can't
to stay I guess you just have to get yourself a new marshal.

Could be you will change you mind
when you see the house we've got for you.

Juge Kyle!
What's the meeting in the south range?

Do I understand
these people are not permitted to land?

You understand it so then
now take them back aboard.

- What about the passage money?
- Don't bother me with trifles, captain.

I've got to show this lady her new house
before I loose me a marshal.

Hey, Ben, tell Jackson to
come up here, with that so you, will you?

- I'll take those bags, sailor.
- Yes, sir.

What are you trying to do?

Keep alive, do you mind?

- Frankly I don't care.
- You will when I explain.

- I'm listening.
- So, this judge...

Take your lady aboard, marshal.
I'll sit with Jackson and the luggage.

You take over, Ben.

Here we get no bad ones others love.

If you have any trouble
Jimmy will help you.

Railroad is coming right
through our town, mam.

Once a tracking ends here
your husband gonna be real busy.

Hold here, Jackson.

This is a bank.

I let take in there some time and
have Mr. Curtis show you the walls

and a steel door an army
couldn't burst with a cannon.

Anybody ever tried to burst it?

Quiet a few.
They are living up by boot hill.

Remind me to show you the boards
I've put over. Go on, Jackson.

Hold over right here, Jackson.

Nobody lives in that house, judge.
It's empty.

But not for a long.

This is it, Mrs. Noonan.

Whole yard rent-free.

I really didn't expect this.

You are so right.

There is a real nice neighborhood.

Mr. Curtis's wife is living in
the next house, there.

A house like this is
can you take a lot of furniture.

It's already there.

When Mr. Prentis died
he did take nothing with him.

Follow in.

Might be folks'd like to be alone.

Aren't you tell me my matters.
I'm going leave'em alone.

Go ahead.

Go on, carry your bride across
the threshold, man.

- Tessa, you are wonderful.
- Now tell me, fine bride,

somehow you've got a hole on that badge
and somehow they think you are a marshal.

And somehow I'm going to take into
that bank walls without a cannon.

Maybe, you are as wild as ever.
Tell me all about it.

We are lasting time for telling.

Stop. We'll just about do it.

Why?

For the same reason I gave you in
Natchez. When Sam Teeler buy my clothes

I don't like another man
to mash them up.

But if I buy them?

Teeler might not like that.

Would you?

I've never going to know.

In the house?

Yea, well, I...
I guess it rains a lot in this town.

Hey, we were talking about you.

We were talking about Teeler.

And clothes he bought for you.

He paid for my chipper beer too.

We are in business together.

I'd be very happy
to take over his business.

You'd be surprised
how many people have tried.

Well, this is more I like it!

We've been through this before in Natchez.
And the answer is still "no".

But this time
you are Mrs. Noonan, remember?

Be ease, smart boy Maybe. I didn't
come up here to play a house with you.

Teeler is interesting in that bank
and so am I.

When I learn how this town works
he'll ride in with 10 men

and do what you'd like to do.

- You still talking about the bank?
- Nothing else!

When you'll write to Teeler
tell him my gun here first.

And I'm not just talking about the bank.

Tessa!

Try get up and bring you down here!
Breakfast is ready!

Come on! It's 9 o'clock!

Who gets up in the middle of the night?

Morning, Paddle-Foot.
Where did you come from?

You was in the house, ah?
You are hungry?

Here you are.

You don't feed dogs in the house.

On the back porch.
Or you love milk all over the floor?

Paddle-Foot we'd might
to send her back to Sam Teeler,

then you and me can live comfortable.

Make you the good life.

When Teeler gets here
it may be a short one.

Well, I've got mine might surprise Teeler.
And you.

You've been lucky so far, marshal.
Don't push it.

What's this?

My laundry.
I need it tomorrow.

If we are going to play house
I want a servant.

Somebody to do laundry.

And cooking.

And repeat everything we say
to judge Kyle.

No. You do the laundry.

I'll teach you how to cook.

Where will you learn? From that lure
piece of loafer to "River Palace"?

I watched you last night from my window

strolling in the garden.

She was all over you like attend.

Little Brandy?
She is cute.

You are not very smart.

What kind of a married man are you
supposed to be for others in the town?

You are very respectable
United States marshal,

remember?

- So on I'm laying a duty.
- Duty!?

- It's a banker. Get some cloth on.
- I've got some cloth on!

Get some more. I think may be
it's all you get in New Orleans,

but you supposed to be the respectable
wife of US marshal, remember? Come on.

Hurry up.

Oh, Mr. Curtis. Come in.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, marshal.

I'm sorry I'm a little late, but...

Oh, we understand. I've heard
you are proceeding after tour.

I'd like you know Mrs. Curtis - lady
of great patience and much understanding.

How do you do, mam?

You'd find this surprised, marshal,
I didn't dream you'd be so young.

So young and...

Well, I'll say it: handsome.

This is sort about
"Welcome to the community" basket.

Just a few oughts in it
to make a man handy.

Thank you very much.

Mrs. Noonan is dressing,
she would be right down.

- Dressing?
- Into street clothes, mam.

You see she had cooking and a laundry and doing...
But she wants to fresh up a little bit.

She finished with the laundry
before 9 o'clock?

Well, marshal, you have the
jewelry woman. Where did you find her?

In New Orleans, mam.

- Want you sit down?
- Thank you.

Mrs. Prentis, the latest lady who used to
own this house, was fond of old fashion,

but I'm sure Mrs. Noonan
will brighten this room up considerably.

- You can make a bock on that, mam.
- Make what?

He means you could bet on that safely.

Mrs. Curtis would like to have your
wife meet some of her friends...

We won't get around, marshal,

it's a whole slew of them
waiting at the "Emporium".

They all pretend to be surprised,
but they've got the whole deal reticle.

That's not true and you know it.

Mrs. Curtis this is my wife.

How do you do?

And this lovely creature
has already done a days washing?

Should be a trend
to the whole community.

I'm the other hand of the Curtis family
who wonna keep lucky behind bars.

Behind bars?

Mr. Curtis owns the bank.

Oh, Mr. Curtis, this is a pleasure.

If you don't mind I'd like to borrow
your husband for an hour or two have
him meet to those at the bank

and to see how the town works.

Strange, we... We were talking
about it only this morning.

Mrs. Noonan, I've brought you a basket.

Just some oughts in it.

I hope you like pickles.

Oh, I do.
Especially when it's homemade.

I see you like strawberry preserves too.

Well, this is the end of last year
supplies, but you are lucky:

we are putting up a new
set of preserves on Saturday.

It's sort of the community affair

and of course you are invited.
Now I learned it Mrs. Watkins

really knows how to put up
creole peaches in brandy.

You are creole?

Yes. French.

From New Orleans.

So we go?

Excuse me, one moment please.

Marshal!

Your badge.

Morning, Jimmy.

- How does judge?
- All over.

Go ahead, ask him.

Yea, you know so good.
Ask him.

Ask me what?

These kids wanna touch your badge.

Touch my badge?

I told you might accept it.

Go ahead, Shorty, you are first.

Is there hole of the bullet beat?
The one that killed marshal Mc’Klintock?

Yea. That's it.

Hurry up, the marshal is busy.

Alright, you've touched this,
give me what you promised.

Jimmy, when you get back from college look
me up to the bank. I've got a job for you.

If he stays with judge Kyle much longer
he will never get to college.

- The judge is alright.
- Not as a father.

Jimmy needs a home,
don't you agree, Mrs. Noonan?

Well, I don't know much about Jimmy.

Well, I guess you don't.

He is a wonderful young kid,

but he lives down on a shanty boat
with judge Kyle.

and though I have nothing, but good to say about
the judge, his manners leave much to be desired.

And the boy needs parents.

Now it could put only you

and the marshal.

Can to think of it:
you have an extra room in your house.

I'll put the next one
right between your eyes.

I have an order that says
this work has to start immediately.

And you are contempting court.

I've got a lot of contempt for you too.
Now get over or get killed.

Mr. Stark!

I advise you let judge Kyle handle it.

Mr. Watson is a dangerous man.

Why not let the marshal handle it?

If I was a judge you'd be dead.

You ain't a judge. Stay there.

If you had got another
way I could appliance to him.

You are a lucky man, marshal.

I've seen Dan kill bigger men than you.

Either way they were taller.

How is look? Get along with your work
here now waiting on a railroad.

I can understand now, marshal, why your
wife has so much confidence in you.

Well, she won't have for a long.

You ain't never gonna last, son.

I'm sure Mrs. Noonan isn't
interesting in a bank.

I have her meet some friends of mine in
the "Emporium" and you show the marshal around.

But I am interesting.

Only in the combination to the box.

I don't think you wanna turn
her loosting near.

Oh, these men annoy joke!

I wonder what they'd do if someone
actually did robe the bank?

Yes, and I wonder.

Alright, alright. Hold the music now.
Juge is getting ready to speak.

Any time, your honor.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this is a great day on a river.

Not so long ago this place
was just the prairie.

And we built a dock.

And we've been listening to that
whistle ever since.

"River Queen" brought us
a lot of business,

and it also brought us
a lot of disreputable citizens.

I've bought me a shotgun
and things had alaremined.

But they were still around the town.

And one day a man come riding
down the river road.

With him he brought a broken star.

And the "River Queen"
brought the marshal's lady.

And the whole town bust in a bloom,

like flowers in a Spring.

Now we've got another whistle.

And I can know
we've brought in a railroad.

Could be it'll bring
a lot more disreputable citizens,

but we ain't worry,
not while marshal Noonan

is here to greet'em.

I will leave a few words to the marshal
and then we'll drive a golden spike

and everybody goes jar
for drink his thirst.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm not very good with words, but...

From where I'm staying I can see wealth and
prosperity coming to this town real quick.

And may be though troubles...

But I guess if you want one
you gonna take the other.

They always seem to go hand in hand.

Thank you.

So you wrote your letter.

Now Mr. Curtis will drive

a golden spike.

And everybody will please move
that way toward the tracks.

"CLOSED
till after the celebration."

Saw who have rode in?

Yea, I saw them.

Know who they are?

- I've seen them some place before.
- I - no, but I don't like their looks.

I'll have a talk with'em.

May be...

May be I better go along with you?

You have Mr. Curtis driving the spike.

I'll do my own talking.

Wouldn't you like to walk
with us Mrs. Noonan?

Thank you, but I better wait
for my husband.

You, kids, go last.

We've got a comer, Teeler.

Pour the marshal a drink.

Drink it.

Fist ones are on me, Teeler.

Tess says you are good with a gun.
Claims you killed John Noonan.

- He knows better now.
- You are wearing his badge.

Only till I empty that bank.

Which you ain't gonna do.

Have a drink.

You ain't gonna empty it,
that's why I'm here among other things.

Tess wrote me you've been
playing a house.

I don't like that.

And I don't like him.

You get a drink waiting.

You know how the bank works?

I know how it works.

Suppose I could real brought to mind
it and forget about you and Tess.

It's nothing to forget.

Knowing Tess I'll buy that.

The railroad payroll is sitting in that bank.

It'll begin tomorrow and so will we.

If we don't have any trouble
I'll get you for a slice.

We don't need him, Teeler.
We don't want him.

I'm going along with that.

Any of you know
how to get into that walls?

That will be your job.

Not for a load of the railroad payroll.

The trail herds will be
coming in soon.

That's big money.
My kind of money.

Ride in when I send for you.
Get rich quick.

That sounds reasonable.

And interesting.

Not for me.

I never did trust to a man
who did hide behind the star

and I'm not gonna start now.

Call him, Teeler.

Now get out of town.

I've still got 9 men,

you've got 5 shots.

You don't count good, mister.

I've got 500 shots in this slang
and I'm ready to staunch for him.

I told them they can leave.

I heard you,
but it don't make no sense.

May be not,
but I'm the law.

Get out.

We've got a deal.
Send for me.

I don't understand you, son.

I'm sure you don't.

Next time I'll write.

I'm still think Pecos was right.

That's why he is dead.

No, I mean about the bank.

We should abroad
that railroad payroll with us.

The others agree with me.

Who is agree with Dirgen?

Say who thinks some is wrong?

Me. I rode a long way to that bank and
I don't like to ride back with no money.

Yea. That's the way
I feel about it too.

We can get off for hungry
waiting for Maybe decides toward.

And I'll about chop with that.

In a couple of weeks these lands
are gonna be couple with beef.

Every one of those cows
is gonna be worth money.

Before they ship to east
they have to be paid for with money.

A lot of money.

We may need pack mules to carry it
after we empty the bank.

Is it enough word to waiting for?

There is no law against
taking a bank twice.

Look, I've got a woman down a river.

She is an expensive woman.
And I'm going back empty.

I've got me a woman right here in the town.
I don't want to go away, but I'm going.

Not with me.

We don't need Maybe. We'll make
the hack in a morning when they open the bank.

Anybody is riding my way?

- It's been a lovely evening, Mrs. Noonan.
- Good night.

- Good night, marshal.
- Good night.

I hate it.

"Your husband is so brave, Mrs. Noonan."

"I think it's wonderful."

I think he is sick!

Thank you.

"Would you like another
cup of tea, Mrs. Noonan?"

No! I want to drink a whiskey!

"We arrange the church session next
week. Wouldn't you like to come?"

No! I want to go to the "River Palace"
and dance! I want to laugh,

sing inane!

- How you do carry on, Mrs. Noonan?
- I'm gonna get off you right now!

- Have a particular reason?
- Lots of reasons.

Is Teeler one of them?

I'm tired of this masquerade. I don't
like this town and I don't like you.

But you do like Teeler.

Why don't you leave me alone?

He is coming back, you know.

When?

When I send for him. We'll empty that
bank, then we'll all live town together.

How soon will that be?

As soon as the trail herds come in.

You won't last that long.

I saw the judge today watching you.

Like a cat watching a mouse.

He knows something.

Are you worry about me?

I'm still wearing Teeler's clothes.

You need change.

I decided to come and live with you.

When did you decide that?

Today.

At the saloon.

- When did you get here?
- A while ago.

Hope you won't mind,
I fixed supper for me and for him.

You heard us come in?

I heard you.

What else did you hear?

I've got homework to do.

It's late, you'd better get to bed.

Where will I sleep?

I'll show you, Jim.

Can I take him too?

Sure, why not?

Alright, get it.

I don't need to say my prayers?
The judge was making me say them.

Well, I guess you'd better.

Bless Shorty,

Red, Bucktooth...
Bless the judge and Maybe...

...may be everything will be alright.

Bless Little Brandy, marshal

and Mrs. Noonan. Amen.

I brought you some milk and cookies.

Thank you.

It's a nice room.
I think you'll like it.

I like it.

- Well, good night.
- Good night.

How much do you suppose he heard?

I don't know,
but I'll worry about it tomorrow.

Not in here.

Where for instance?

There is a nice stick couch downstairs.
Why don't you try it?

Look, what if Jimmy gets up first?
That'll be hard to explain.

You've got more than that to explain.

it's in there, Jimmy.

Get up on a porch.

You can't come with me.

I'm late for a school.

What are doing in there?

Well, I'm taking a bath.

But if you'd like too
I'll be glad to scrub your back for you.

To mass your pretty back too.

You could slept at the sofa
and you know it.

Yea, there is a lot of places,
where I could slept.

Get out. Suppose Jimmy should come in
and find you here.

Scrubbing my wife's back?
It's an old family custom.

Marshal! They've come back!

They are from the band!

They are robbing a bank!

- They are what?
- They are robbing it, honest!

My bank?
They are robbing my bank?

So, Teeler made a deal,
but he didn't keep it.

You stay home,
I'll tell you what happen.

Give me a shotgun!

Who is next?

Real quiet, isn't it?

Yea, real quiet.

Where is Sam Teeler?

I wouldn't know.

But you should.

You let him ride out yesterday
with these renegades.

What make so sure? Haven't you told me
you've never seen Teeler?

Well, I haven't till last night

when I went through the files
and I've found his picture.

Under date it was written
"WANTED FOR MURDER".

I've never seen that picture.

It's funny.
I've found it in your office

right down top of the pile.

You get pay 10 dollars a day to look.

I just say I made a mistake.

If you did you've certainly corrected it this
morning. Let me thank you for saving my bank.

I feel can like it my bank too.

Well, it's real nice of you.

Yea, real nice.

But if you would put Teeler up in jails
yesterday there would be no fight this morning.

And Teeler wouldn't be on a loose.

I've got a feeling
he'll be coming back.

Thanks a lot.

For what?

Letting me know about the bank.

May I speak with you marshal?

Alone.

I lose more men that way.

Why didn't you nail love to the cage?

You should move your office
into the "River Palace".

You've been here every night
for the last week.

I’m sure. The bathes are
too much softer here.

Tonight you can use Jimmy's bed.

He is gone.

When did he leave?

When he did of you came home for supper
I went to his room

and have seen he had gone.
So is the puppy.

Marshal,

aren't you having a wrong way?

Could be.

What's the matter. Mrs. Noonan?
Can't to train your husband?

No. But I'm good in training cats,

especially alley cats.

Didn't you like our home, Jimmy?

You sorry, crowded.

You had your own room.

Real nice room.

Yea, real nice.
May be that was wrong.

I knew so nice homes.

I was born in a saloon.

Funny thing,

I knew a fellow once,

he was born in a saloon too.

His mother was one of girls
who worked there.

Her name was May.

May what?

I wouldn't know.

She died very young.

I guess girls soon adopted this fellow?

That's right.

Did he have a name?

No, not really.

Girls so called him "May's boy".

Some way long away catched it
shorten to Maybe.

He needed a flat name,
so... He called himself Joe Maybe.

Then women in town, they wouldn't
let him live in saloon anymore.

Is that how it was?

This was different kind of a town.

Nobody cared much about kids,

about those kinds of kids.

They didn't care
if they learn anything or not.

You can learn things in a saloon.

Like what?

Slim Jack the gambler used to teach me "to
deal seconds*". [*Kind of а poker cheat.]

Рromised teach me fast draw
when my hands got bigger.

This fellow Maybe,
where did he learn fast draw?

In a saloon.

I could say that... You can learn
lot of things in a saloon.

Joe Maybe

learned how to steal gold sand
from drunken miners.

But very soon
he learned how to rob a bank.

Too bad there wasn't a fellow like judge
Kyle around him to tell him he was wrong.

Yea, too bad.

What happened to this Joe Maybe?

He met a nice girl,
another fellow's girl.

He met some nice people.

He had himself follow
make stop in time.

Like trying be someone
who you ain't?

It's about it.

It's getting now late.

Tessa will worry about us.

You'll get a broken back
sleeping in a bathtub.

Jimmy? Why ain't you in school?

I'm not care of it on Saturday.

- Is the judge in?
- Yea, he is in.

But you know
he doesn't like in his courtroom.

But this is my dog.

Well, I guess
that makes a difference then.

Jimmy?

There is someone for a killing?

Sure there is.

What about your shoulder?

It's better. Pulls along when I draw
so I wear little lower.

You'll be enjoy this killing?

Not exactly.

And nobody in his right mind
enjoy the killing.

It's worse when he is someone you like.

You wouldn't do a thing like that, judge.

You've taken Padlefoot over there.
Suppose he got rabies.

You wouldn't want to kill him, you wouldn't
like to kill him, but you'd have to.

What's the rabies?

When he is sick and crazy and he
is heat, bites everything he sees.

Everything he bites dies.

He isn't crazy and heat. And he isn't
gonna kill anybody unless he has to.

May be you are wrong
about this killing.

Suppose Padlefoot comes home one day, Jimmy,
in his mouth he has got a piece of a dogs collar.

May be the collar has a name on it, and one
who wore it, he never shows up again.

Would be reasonable to assume
that Padlefoot did the killing.

He did not.
I swear did not.

May be he is mixed up along inside,
but he isn't crazy.

Could be he is just bad.
That happens to man... or a dog.

Gets born wrong, raises wrong,
everything he learns is bad.

So he lives bad.

Suppose he tries to change...

This kind never changes, Jimmy.

I guess you are right.

If you born in a saloon you are bad.
Everybody says you are bad.

So there is nothing else to do.

I didn't mean that.
You know I didn't mean that.

- Judge, the trail herds are coming.
- Where are they now?

Now they are over the ridge
heading for town.

What for you are staying around when
the trail herds are coming in a town?

Court is adjourned.

This is a great day, marshal. This is
gonna make our city the gateway to the West.

Yes, it will.

Let us hope those who pass through
will do it quiet,

especially the trail drivers.

I wouldn't worry about that, rabbi. I've
met a lot of them and they are nice people.

I've been looking all over for you, where
have you been? Sitting with the judge?

Have you ever set at saddle?

Mrs. Piters from the saddle shop
made it special for you.

Where did you steal a horse?

It's a present from Tessa.

How did you like to ride out
and have bring the trail herds in?

Would I!

You stay here, Padlefoot,
I'll be right back.

Oh, boy! A new rifle boot too!

Sure. A man can't be riding now
without his gun.

So you might get some practice.

It's a big drive, Jimmy. Looks like
they've got them here in good shape too.

- You may rate those cows from right this point?
- Sure, why not?

Hi you, marshal.
I'm Sam Mason - trail boss.

Brought a few thousands heads of
oxes. Can you able them?

Yea, if you don't crowd us.

Take a few hundreds in the town. You'll
find a holing fence within the track.

Leave the other cows on the grass
and feed them slow.

Good to know.

Say a word to Teeler and the boys,
while I pass the orders.

Son, you ride after the trail boss.
I'll be later.

We decided to ride in with the herds.

You've made a lot of decisions.

Some of them are not too smart.

You mean about the bank?

Dirgen and the rest, they wanted
to make a hit, I was against it.

When I make a deal
I keep it.

- Is that why you are here?
- What else?

You said you are gonna take a lot of
money they'll pay for that beef

we are here to help you collect it.

You know Yuma and Clovis?

No, I don't know them.
But do they know I'm boss?

Sure, marshal, we understand everything.

We'll do just as you say, Maybe.
[Maybe / may be].

You'll do just as I say
and you'll forget the Maybe.

Stand back till I roll'em!

Move on! Hold them!

What happened? What happened to Jimmy?

He had a fall. He'll be alright.
Get some whisky.

Whisky?

I didn't mean disturb them,
I didn't mean you too.

Don't worry about it, son,
everything is gonna be alright.

This is my fault. I let him rope the
lead steer he jogged saddle off.

I don't care how or why.
He is hurted.

There was nobody's fault of mine.
I'm alright.

This is not more than a little falling
for a man like you, isn't it?

What are you doing?

I'm doctoring.

Doctoring him? You are going get
the doctor! I'll watch over him.

No doctor. I'm gonna get up.

You are going to do exactly what
I say you to do. Both of you.

Now we are going to get all these
gruesome grazes cleaned down.

Can't you make him go away?
I mean if you go with him.

- Don't you like us?
- You know him better than I.

Say why do you want us to go away?

The judge is getting him.
He has been watching him, waiting him down.

He is sure who killed Noonan.

He didn't kill Noonan.
Joe was been in chase,

they came to the rim
of the canyon and...

You stay here.
If anybody comes let me know.

You stay right there.

Surprised?

Yes... Maybe didn't say anything
about sending for you.

He didn't?

- Where is that kid Maybe brought in here?
- Why?

He saw me riding with the herd. I wouldn't
want him to tell a gun-happy judge.

He won't.

If you say it
I'll buy it.

You and Maybe have a nice family set up
here, could know,

but it's all over now.

You are massing my dress.

I'll buy you a new one.

I'll buy you dozen of dresses and
diamond brooches to wear with each one.

As soon as we get the bank I'm gonna make
you the best dressed woman in New Orleans.

- When does this happen?
- Tonight.

- Have you talked to Maybe about it?
- Why bother? I don't need him.

Clovis and Yuma have a tool to open
that wall as nut. Only need 2-3 hours.

Sit towards him as we had it drafted.

There are some things
I want to tell you.

Things that had been working of
the way they shouldn't.

Why not? The bank is full of money
and we are here to get it.

This is inept time.

Juge Kyle is suspicious,
he watches the every move Joe makes.

If anything happens to bank tonight
he know the answer.

Only half the answer.

He doesn't know that I'm in town.

He knows Joe Maybe is in town.

Lucky judge is gonna get someone
to bless with a shotgun.

Is that was you planning to do?

I figure they'll get Maybe killed,
but that wasn't the main.

Now listen fast: I want to keep
the judge and Maybe busy at night.

Keep them away from the bank, understand?

I understand.

As soon as Maybe hears the bomb
blow he'll ask questions.

Tell him that I took to river road
and that I'll meet him in Natches.

And if I do?..

We'll ride over the cattle trail
we'll do no signs.

That's Yuma. Somebody is coming.
How can I get out here?

There is a gate in the backyard.
It will lead to the "River Palace".

You are real handy.
See you in New Orleans.

Well, Mrs. Noonan, let’s have a look
at that boy of yours.

He is upstairs.

Are you sure you won't have another
piece of strawberry cake?

Mam, I ate most of that cake
right on a plate.

Perhaps, I could do
with a little more brandy so?

Why, of course.

Or with some coffee, mam,
I'll take care of brandy.

What about you, marshal?

No, thanks, judge.

I'm getting a little sleepy.

Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
It's an old creole custom.

Getting sleepy?

Sitting late at the table.

That's why in New Orleans we sometime sit down to dinner
at seven and don't leave the table until midnight.

We've passed the record hours in though.

Mam, I'm just going to get some sleep.

Oh, shame on you.
The evening has just begun.

Not for me, honey.

I want to go to bed.

And I want to dance.

We haven't had a real party
since we've been marry,

and this a wonderful evening
for dancing.

Won't you dance with me, judge?

Well, I may try a few steps if we'd
get someone to whistle a tune.

I can't dance without music.

There is music at the "River Palace".

It keeps me away most of the nights
while my husband is on duty.

Mam, nice ladies don't dance
at the river palace.

Oh, yes, they do if they wear a pretty
new dress and want everyone to see it.

Do you like it?

Well, I noticed it.

When did you get it?

Today.

As I can know it's pay day
and I'll give you wages.

Take a quick Look, judge,
I wear the pants in this family.

She wears dresses,
but she better looks in new one.

Come on, lets show up you pretties.

Let's go the back way,
it's closer.

Juge, you should think to find a house
for newly married men.

Sometime we don't get to sleep
to 4:00 in the morning.

And you are complaining?

Haven't you been in the
bathroom, marshal?

You know the too sides of this
trickiness town,

and your wife doesn't belong
to this one,

does she?

And may be the same thing
goes to you too?

I have a lot people asking.

Have you?

What do you want, marshal?

Just say I walk at the middle of
this street. Shall we dance?

He has a pretty girl for you, judge.

Not very bright, but very pretty.

This is my night, remember?

And I'm wearing a new dress

that you bought for me.

I won't gripe if you mass it.

And if I tell you
that Teeler was in town.

He wants to get the bank.

What do you want to do?

What you want me to.

Dance with me.

All night?

Almost all night.

And when I see Teeler?..

You are not going to see him,

as is mine.

The "River Queen" is leaving in the morning
for New Orleans. We'll be aboard when she leaves.

What happens to the bank?

Does it matter?

It matters to him.

A lot of nice people think
we are nice.

How long can it last?

The judge knows who you are, he is
waiting only for the chance to kill you.

Please, get out while you can.

It's just one of the trail drivers
celebrating.

With a cannon?

Did you hear what I've heard?

Sounded like dynamite.

I'll look around.

...the bank!
They rob the bank, judge!

You... and your "pretty new dress"...

Turn around.

Juge, he didn't know.

You've been with him all night,
he didn't know about it.

You are supposed to be fast with
that gun, make your pray.

Funny thing. I thought you never
give the other guy an even break.

And I was right.

Teeler took the cattle trail.

Thanks again, Jimmy.

- Seen him, son?
- I've seen him.

Took to river road way.
Took my horse too.

- Is it a private fight, judge?
- Not, no more.

Get my regional squire and his
deputies while we ride.

Yea. Hey, deputies, let’s go!

Can't think about who shot off that light.

Could be one of Teeler's men.

So away from a bank?

Be smart and we can make a deal.

What kind of a deal?

I'm caring what we took in the bank. Ride
with me and we'll split down the middle.

We are riding back to the town.

Match it alike to tell a judge
about you.

You get two chances.

You want to stun them running?

Have you ever been in a middle
of the stunned beef?

You'd better make up your mind
before they catch up both of us.

It's maden.

I shouldn't might to let you go, mam. Please,
wait now for the judge says it's alright.

She didn't do anything.

He is right, Jimmy,
let’s not argue about it.

If that's the way has to be, well...

He won't get far.

I'll get busy on a telegraph, every
town on a river will be waiting for him.

Thanks for your help boys.

If you had asked me I could told you.

Told me what?

That he didn't take to river road.

You let me hang on the judge. I'll
teach you aboard the "River Queen".

Mrs. Noonan now wants to get
down the river .

She isn't Mrs. Noonan
and you know it.

Yea, I know. I know a lot of things,
so do you.

She has done nothing wrong, judge.

She tells a lie. What right you've got
supposing as a decent woman?

No right at all...

Whatever Teeler took from the bank
you'll find in those bags.

He has got a few things
he'd like to tell you about me.

May be he don't have to tell me.

That's what I've thought...

What else had you think?

That Tessa and I will be moving alone.

Goodbye, Jimmy.

Turn around.

You ain't going away. Lift them.

Lift them!

I see your robe duff, mine as well.
Keep it.

But if you scratch a name on it,

be sure to write "Joe Maybe".

Good thing I didn't
give you a shotgun.

- Have you ever sleep in a bathtub?
- What?

You'd better marry then.

You'll be in my chamber
at nine o'clock.

It's the law.
