Starring James Arness as Matt Dillon.

How's that, Kitty?

Oh, that's just great.

- Here they come. - Huh?

Dolly, Fred.

Well, come on, Doc. Ain't you gonna kiss the bride?

Come on, Doc.

Now, hold on here. Just a minute.

Dolly, I have seen you through the mumps

and the measles and the chicken pox,

and that don't mean I got to kiss you.

And besides, it's unhealthy.

Doc Adams, you kiss me right this minute,

before I start bawling.

Oh, now, don't cry, don't cry.

Right there, where it's healthy.

Congratulations, Dolly!

Congratulations, Dolly!

Did you want the hat, Mrs. Dorf?

Please, for Althea.

Never mind Althea... We got all our needs over here.

We ain't getting nothing else till fall.

Dang fools.

I could board my family six months

on the rice they're throwing away.

Doctor?

Please, come help.

Please, I-I need you to come.

Tomorrow, please.

Woman!

You get back in here.

Now, who are they, Doc?

Well, that's Claude Dorf and his wife.

They've got that little place

out on Dry Creek, you know, there.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

They don't get in town very often, do they?

No.

Well, what do you suppose is wrong?

Haven't the faintest idea.

That's as close as I've ever been to either one of them.

That Dorf don't care much for doctors.

She looks scared to me.

I thought so, too.

Maybe I ought to go out there tomorrow, Matt.

Yeah, I'll go along with you, Doc.

Well, come on in... I'll buy.

Ooh, hold it there, Matt.

The female of the species is always most dangerous

when she's offering something for nothing.

Just look out.

Why don't you order up for us?

I'll be with you in a minute.

All right, Kitty.

Well, might've known he'd be in town, too.

- Who's that? - Oh, that's Clem Dorf,

Old Man Dorf's son.

Oh, yeah.

- Howdy, Doc. - Sam, three beers.

- Sam. - Yes, sir.

Ain't that right, Marshal?

What's that?

I was just saying it's legal to kill trespassers

on your own property.

Well, not necessarily.

Well, how about if he comes busting through your fences,

through a sign that says "no trespassing"?

My pa says, once, uh, we tell them to get out,

they got to go, or else we got the right to shoot them.

He's right, ain't he, Marshal?

Well, it all depends.

See there? I told you I knew the law.

Oh, here you are.

Why don't we sit down?

Oh, that's-that's a good idea.

Fine.

Yeah, it's a good thing that we don't have

too many weddings in this town.

I don't think you two could survive it.

I don't know... if we get this free beer every time.

Yeah. Thank you.

Stop it! Stop it!

Leave me alone. Oh, you act like a pig.

Hold up.

- I ain't done nothing. - You done plenty.

Now, go on, get out of here.

Well, she slapped me. Didn't you see her?

Yeah, I saw her. She probably had good reason to.

Now, get moving.

Marshal.

You ease off of my boy.

You better teach him some manners,

or he's liable to get hurt.

Nobody lays a hand on us less than we break a law.

That's what I teach him.

Well, I've got a law that says you don't hit women.

Now, get him out of here.

Come on, Clem.

By golly, I don't think we're gonna be

too welcome out there tomorrow.

That's all the more reason that I think

I'll go along with you, Doc.

Fine with me.

Hello, Sam! Hi, Miss Kitty.

How are you, Marshal? Hello, Doc.

How are you? How are you? How are you?

Hello, Jack. What's new from Kentucky?

Well, I got Smokey Jack's Golden Ring.

It's mellow. Look at that.

That's the finest whiskey that's ever poured

through a copper worm, real mellow.

Looks like the same stuff you pushed off on me last time.

Oh, no, no, no, no, Miss Kitty, this'll move real fast.

And we got a special, grandiose

sales promotion that goes with this.

You just listen to this, now. Listen, listen.

All right, folks, if you'll gather around here, please.

If you'll just give me your kind attention.

We're going to give every single one of you patrons...

You regular patrons of the Long Branch Saloon...

A chance to win this genuine 24-carat-gold wedding ring.

Would you look at that?

That's enough.

- Put that in a safe place now, Sam. - Yes, sir.

Now, all you have to do to win that beautiful ring

is to buy a drink of our fine and mellow whiskey,

and that gives you a chance to work the magic trick.

All you got to do is separate

these rings, ladies and gentlemen.

You see, there's nothing to that.

There's no force. We don't use any force at all.

How about that?

Now, who wants to try their luck at that?

- Just look at that. - Here, let me try it.

You want to try? All right, sir.

- Did you hear that, Sam? - Yes, sir.

Pour that man some of our fine and mellow whiskey.

Try your luck, sir. You're a lucky gentleman, sir.

- There's your whiskey. - Huh? Okay.

Yeah, that is kind of mellow.

Now, how...

♪♪

Hold it, Marshal.

Just turn around and head back to where you come from.

I told you, we don't allow no trespassing on our property.

Now, put that gun down.

We came here to talk to your mother.

She don't need nothing.

Well, where is she?

I'll have a look around.

All right.

Pa ain't gonna like this.

Where's your pa?

Out on the range.

He'll be coming in for dinner soon.

He'll make you get.

Well, good afternoon, Mrs. Dorf.

Well, Mrs. Dorf, you asked me

to come out and see you, remember?

I'm all right, Doc.

Yes, I'm just fine.

Well, are you... you afraid of something?

Is Clem...?

Well, he's talking to the marshal.

The marshal?

- He come, too? - Oh, yes, yes.

I'll make some coffee soon as I rinse these clothes.

Hey.

That's arthritis.

Does that bother you?

Well, it-it does on a cold morning.

Before I get the fire lit.

Mrs. Dorf, something's bothering you.

Now, don't you want to just tell me what it is?

I don't know.

It's family trouble.

Well, who?

Doc, it's my daughter Althea.

Hello, Mrs. Dorf.

You better watch how much talking you do, Ma.

I was just trying to be sociable, Clem.

You know what Pa says.

He's gonna be mighty upset when he gets back, Marshal.

You'd save us a big wrangle if you and Doc

would just up and leave right now.

Now, Clem, I had it in mind to make them some coffee.

Ma, there's no need.

Well, that sounds good to me, Mrs. Dorf.

How about you, Doc?

I'd like some coffee.

Clem, would you fetch me some wood for the stove?

That's your chore, not mine.

Never mind, Mrs. Dorf. I'll get some.

No, no, Marshal, we don't want any helping hands from visitors.

I'll get it this once.

Down there.

In the cellar.

What?

My daughter Althea.

In the cellar?

Please, take her away.

Well, there's a padlock on there.

- Who's got the key? - Claude has it with him.

Please?

Hold it, Marshal.

You been talking again, Ma?

I told them about Althea.

And they're gonna take her away before she dies.

Oh, boy, she's gonna get it now.

Get out of my way, son. I'm going in that cellar.

Oh, no, you ain't.

♪♪

♪♪

Now, miss, don't be afraid.

This man's a doctor.

He's here to help you.

Good heavens.

What is it, Doc?

Matt, she's been beaten.

Beaten?

Yeah.

Well, what can you do?

I don't know whether I can do anything or not.

I can scarcely feel her pulse.

We got to get her into Dodge.

Will you bring my buggy?

You find what you was looking for?

By rights, I ought to kill you, Marshal.

By what rights is that?

Rights of a man to shoot trespassers on his own property.

What about her? Is she your property, too?

She's my daughter.

Took a book away from her and tore it up,

but she patched it up.

The cellar's her punishment.

And she may just die because of that punishment.

She won't die. I've been feeding her.

If she dies, you're gonna stand trial for murder, Dorf.

I saved her mother from a life of misery.

Now I ain't gonna let my daughter go that same road.

Reading a love book, smarting off at her pa.

She's gonna stay in that cellar

until she proves she can behave herself.

Dorf, she's going back to Dodge.

Pa, I tried to stop 'em.

Ma did it. She told him.

We'll tend to your ma later.

You ain't taking Althea nowhere!

She's going into Dodge City.

You better make up your mind to that.

You don't got a chance, Marshal.

You ain't got a chance.

There's two of us.

All right, if you're foolish enough

to try that, you go ahead.

But I'll tell you something.

I'll kill one of you, maybe both of you, before I die.

He might could do it, Pa.

And I'll tell you something else.

You do any harm to your wife,

I'll see that you pay for that, too.

You're pushing me, Marshal.

You bet I am.

Now, you make up your mind.

All right, Marshal, but you and me ain't through yet.

Nobody interferes with my family without living to regret it.

Clem, you go get Doc's buggy, bring it back here.

Go ahead, Clem.

- Pa. - I said go ahead!

Whoa, now. Whoa, whoa.

Okay, Doc, let me take her.

All right.

Ma? Ma!

- Ma? Oh... - Yes, Doc?

Ma, we got a very sick girl here.

Have you got a room?

Oh, yes, right down here.

Oh, bring her right in here, Marshal.

There's a bed all ready.

Excuse me, Ma.

Isn't she pitiful?

A little breeze would waft her clear into Texas.

Ma, I'm gonna need some soap and a pan of warm water.

Sure, Doc. Right away.

Doc, is there anything else I can do here to help you?

Oh, no, Matt. Not a thing, thanks.

Well, I'll be back at the office if you need me.

All right, I'll... I'll let you know.

Oh...

Who are you?

I'm a doctor.

Where's Pa?

Your pa's not here.

He's not here.

Now, I just want you to just lie back there.

Just rest.

What's your name?

Dr. Adams is my name.

Mine's Althea.

- I know that. - You do?

Dr. Adams.

What a brave name for a knight.

For a knight?

A knight riding over the moors.

Well, that's kind of nice.

I... I never was called a knight before.

I've been called a lot of other things, but...

I think I like being a knight.

I guess you've been reading some, huh?

Ivanhoe.

Oh... that's a good book.

I read that, oh... a long time ago.

I got a lot of good books.

And I'd like you to read some of them.

I'll bring 'em to you.

Will you?

I sure will.

But right now, I want you to get some sleep.

I'll give you a pill.

Here, drink this for me.

Althea, it's gonna make you sleep.

You just dream,

dream all you want to about your knights

riding across the moors.

♪♪

Well, how old is she?

Oh, about 22, I guess.

No telling how long she'd been locked in that cellar, Kitty.

And all for reading a book?

It wasn't even a book really.

It was just a bunch of pages tied together with a string.

She must have been pretty stubborn.

Being stuck out there on the prairie,

who could blame a girl

for wanting to get a few minutes of romance,

even from a book?

How is she today?

Well, Doc's pretty worried about her.

He sat up with her all night.

Well, she's in good hands.

If anybody can save her, he can.

No! It won't work.

It just won't work.

Maybe you ought to have another drink of that whiskey, Dooley.

Well, Kitty, I better finish my rounds, I guess.

- See you later. - Right.

What are you doing in town, Dorf?

Where is she?

You wasted a trip.

I got a right to visit my own daughter.

She's not having any visitors right now.

She's in good hands,

and she's gonna stay that way till she's better.

Not hardly.

Now, don't push me, Dorf.

You get back out to your place and leave well enough alone.

Marshal, I tried to raise her right and proper.

She ain't never looked at a man, no man's ever looked at her.

I don't want her in this scum-filled town.

I come to take her home!

Not till she's better.

You're claiming her for yourself, Marshal!

You hadn't ought to done that, Marshal.

No, no guns.

You get on that buggy and get back out of here.

If I see in town again, I'll lock you up, both of you.

Hyah!

Hello, Kitty.

Hello, Ma.

- Come on in. - Thank you.

I-I just thought I'd stop by

and see if there was anything I could do to help.

Sit down.

Doc promised he'd come out and have some coffee,

but I'm afraid it's gotten cold.

Oh.

Well, how's Althea doing?

Haven't heard anything in the last hour.

- Well, Kitty. - Hello, Doc.

Doc, how is she?

She's better.

Yes, I think I can say she's a lot better.

Thank heaven. That's wonderful.

Now will you have that coffee if I heat it up?

Oh, I sure will. Thanks, Ma. Thanks a lot.

Won't take but a minute.

Kitty, I'm glad to see you.

You're tired.

Guess I haven't had too much time to think about it.

I guess I am, all right.

Matt told me how you found her.

It's hard to believe a thing like that could happen

in our day and time.

It's criminal.

Girl being treated like that has no reason to live

or even want to.

You could use some sleep.

Why don't you go on back to your office?

I'll sit with her.

No, thanks, Kitty. I'll... I'll be all right.

No need for you to be gone from the Long Branch.

I'll be fine.

Now, look, Doc, I already told Sam

I was gonna be gone the rest of the afternoon.

Now, I'm just gonna have to insist on it.

- You do? - I do.

Well, gee, you just convinced me.

- Oh, good. - You don't mind?

That's why I'm here.

I think I could sure use 40 winks.

I'm gonna get my things.

♪♪

How she been?

She's just fine.

- She was awake most of the time. - Good.

And you look some better.

Oh, thanks, Kitty.

I-I feel an awful lot better now.

She told me you were going to bring her some books.

Yeah, she... she likes to read.

She likes to talk, too.

Well, I warned you about that.

She likes to talk about Dr. Adams in particular.

- She does? - Mm-hmm.

You know, uh, she's quite taken with you.

Well, I'm glad of that.

I'm quite taken with her.

She's sweet as a little kitten.

I bet you haven't had any supper.

No, I haven't; I'm not hungry.

Well, look, Doc, if you get hungry,

Ma's got some sandwiches and a fresh pot of coffee

out in the kitchen.

Well, a little later, maybe.

I think I'll just kind of look in now.

All right.

If you need anything, just let me know.

Thanks, Kitty.

Thanks... thanks for everything.

Hello, Dr. Adams.

Well, hello, there. I thought you were asleep.

Oh, I was.

How are you feeling?

Like being on a cloud.

You been hungry?

Miss Kitty brought me some broth.

I ate lots.

Good.

I want you to have an appetite.

Oh, I have.

I used to get so hungry, I could've eaten grass.

Then, all of a sudden, I wasn't hungry anymore.

Well, you won't have to worry about that now.

We're going to give you lots of nourishment,

and before long,

you'll be up and around and as good as new.

Will I have to go back home then?

Well, we're gonna talk about that later.

I like to talk to you, Doc.

Pa never let me talk to anybody, not even to Ma.

He used to say... my talk was all foolish.

He'd get so mad at me.

Well, what did you want to talk about?

Oh, about lots of things.

About the sunflowers

turning their brown faces to the sun,

and the buffalo grass

bluing the long prairies in the mornings,

and...

I wanted to talk to somebody

about what it is...

to love

and dream.

Is that foolish?

I think that's some of the most sensible talk

I've heard in a long time.

- Doc Adams? - Uh-huh?

Um,

are you married?

No, not married.

Why not?

Well, I just don't think

any reasonably bright woman would have me.

Have you a sweetheart?

No, no sweetheart.

Didn't you ever have one?

Well...

well, my memory is getting a little bad

about things like that.

Don't you ever get lonesome?

Oh, yeah... yeah, I do,

but I don't have very much time for that, you see.

There's broken bones, and babies, and...

and every once in a while, I get a chance to...

take care of a pretty little girl like you.

You've been so kind and good to me.

I reckon you must love me a lot.

You bet I do.

I love you, too.

And I'm awful glad about that.

How long do you think it'll be before I can be up and about?

Well, I think, uh,

if you continue to improve like you have been,

uh, maybe a couple of weeks.

You should be quiet now for a minute.

Mm-hmm.

Then we can get married right away?

Are we gonna be married?

Yes.

Well, uh, kind of sudden, you know.

I, uh... Well, it's pretty serious.

You want to think it over, Althea.

I have.

Well, why do you want to marry me?

Because I love you.

Well, that's a pretty good reason.

But then, uh, see, when you get up and about,

you kind of look them over.

You'll just be making life miserable

for the whole young male population

of Western Kansas.

I wouldn't care for anyone else but you.

Well, young lady, when I came in here,

you were asleep.

That's exactly what I want you to do.

It's good for you.

Gets your strength back.

Now, why don't you close your eyes

and go back to sleep?

All right, if you say so.

I say so.

I love you.

Ah, you break it, it don't count.

Yeah, well, I ain't never been beat

by a dumb fool thing like this, and I ain't about to.

Dooley, uh, why don't you go get yourself a bowl of soup

and get a fresh run at it in the morning?

You better lick it pretty soon, Dooley.

I don't think you can stand another week's drinking.

How do, Miss Kitty? How do and all that?

Hello, Jack.

Well, what a rare joy it is to be back in Dodge City

and particularly the Long Branch Saloon.

Thank you.

Well, Dooley, two weeks.

Oh, I like a man with stick-to-itiveness.

I like that. You will get on.

You will indeed.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Is that the ticket, Dooley?

Yes, sir, and I just about licked it.

Oh, you did, huh?

Well, I ought to tell you something.

Two weeks, you deserve a break,

and I'm gonna show you how it's done.

You see this? Watch that.

See, nothing to that.

Now, why don't you just do that and give somebody else a chance?

Doc, why don't you try it?

Oh, for heaven's sakes.

I learned that trick long before you was born, young man.

- You really know how to do it? - Oh, sure.

That's the simplest trick in the world.

Kitty,

I'd kind of like to talk to you for a minute.

Can we, uh... can we sit down someplace?

Sure. Why don't we sit right over there?

Thank you.

What's on your mind?

Well...

Well, Kitty,

I got a kind of a problem.

You want another beer?

No, no, thanks.

Now, I don't know exactly how to tell you this.

I... I guess you're about the only one who could understand.

At least I hope you will.

I do.

You do?

Well, I haven't told you yet.

You don't have to.

Althea's in love with you.

Well...

Well, yes.

She thinks she is.

She knows she is.

Well, no.

How could she, Kitty?

She's a woman.

Kitty...

Althea's a little girl.

She's both,

and that's what makes it a problem.

Yeah, by golly,

I'm afraid you're right about that.

Let me ask you this, Doc.

Uh, is it, uh... is it unusual

for a patient to fall in love with their doctor?

No.

No, not really.

It's awful easy when you're sick to confuse gratitude with love.

I suppose that happens often.

Kitty, I just...

I just don't know how to handle this.

Well, Doc, I...

I can't think of anyone who would be able

to handle it better than you.

You're a doctor.

Well, I just...

I just don't know how to go about this.

I sure think you could help me, if you will.

You're a woman.

Kitty, will you... will you just try?

I'll try.

Well, I'll have that beer.

Sam?

Come in.

Hi.

Hi. Oh, Miss Kitty,

I'm so glad you dropped by.

Well, Ma said you were looking wonderful,

and I agree with her.

What's that?

Here, it's for you. Open it.

- For me? - Mm-hmm.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, what is it?

Oh, it's beautiful.

Oh.

Could I put it on right now?

Why don't you?

I've never had a new dress before.

Never ever any kind of new clothes.

Well, it's amazing

what a new dress will do for a girl's spirit.

Are, uh, these the books that Doc brought you?

Yes.

I bet I know which one's your favorite.

Ivanhoe. It's wonderful.

It's all about love.

I would have won my bet.

- Miss Kitty? - Mm-hmm.

Have you ever been in love?

I guess every girl falls in love at least once.

But you didn't want to get married?

Nope.

Why not?

I guess I wasn't asked by the right man.

You could ask him.

No, Althea, it's a sad state of affairs,

but girls just aren't supposed to do that.

Why not?

I did.

I asked Doc Adams.

How do I look?

You look lovely.

- Could you help me fasten this? - Mm-hmm.

The top one.

I hope Doc Adams will like it.

He'll like it.

Miss Kitty, have you ever read Ivanhoe?

No, I'm afraid not.

I want you to listen to something.

It's lovely.

"Joy to the fair!

"Thy knight behold,

"returned from yonder land of gold;

"no wealth he brings, nor wealth can need,

"save his good arms and battle steed;

"his spurs, to dash against a foe,

"his lance and sword to lay him low,

"such all the trophies of his toil,

such and the hope of Tekla's smile."

Isn't that beautiful?

You know, honey?

There's an awful lot of things I could tell you.

But not too many years ago, someone who was older than I was

tried to give me some advice.

And I just wouldn't listen.

I knew that nobody in the whole world

had ever felt the way I felt.

And no amount of talking was going to change my mind.

I'm sure that's the way you must feel right now.

Come in.

Oh, Dr. Adams.

Well, say, where'd you get that?

Kitty brought it for me.

I've missed you.

I think I'd better get going.

Well, do you have to go right now, Kitty?

Yeah, Doc, I really do have to get back to work.

Good-bye, Althea.

Good-bye, Miss Kitty.

- Thank you so much. - Oh, you're welcome.

Well, here, I'll just walk to the door with you.

- All right, Doc. - I'll be right back.

Well, I'm afraid I wasn't very much help.

Oh?

I couldn't even get started.

I'm sorry.

Do you really like it?

It's just awful nice.

Doc Adams, I'm so happy.

Well...

You know, I knew a long time ago

what kind of man I'd want.

What he'd be like.

I knew that first night when you brought me here.

The way you talked.

And what I saw in your eyes.

I knew you were the one I'd always dreamed of.

Althea,

I want to talk to you.

Let's just sit down.

You know...

I think it was the poet Longfellow who once said,

"There's nothing holier in this life

"than the first consciousness of love.

"The first flutter of its silken wings,

"the first sound of that wind that is so soon

"to sweep through the soul

to purify or destroy."

You know, love can hurt you.

And we're just not gonna let anything

like that happen to you, Althea.

Many kinds of love.

Among them a love of a father for a daughter.

Of course...

well, you just haven't had too much chance

to find out about that.

And, uh,

I've been a little cheated that way myself.

Now, I'm, uh...

I'm older than your father, and I hope somewhat wiser.

And I think it would just be awful nice if you'd...

well, just kind of adopt me.

You know, until...

till your knight does come riding across the moors.

Someday he will.

I figured I'd find you in here with her.

You've been playing fast and loose with my daughter, huh?

Ah, got you all prettied up.

Maybe I-I'm too late, but I'm taking you home with me anyway.

Of course, we ain't got no sweet-talking doctors out there,

but come on.

Mr. Dorf...

just a minute, now.

I want to talk to you.

I want to talk to you about Althea.

Please, please, don't hit him anymore.

Please, Pa.

I'll go with you.

Nah, he ain't worth the trouble. Come on!

Oh, Doc.

Oh, are you all right?

I'm all right.

They took her with them.

She's gone. Althea's gone.

I'll get Matt.

He's gone out to Jake Worth's.

I'll get him.

Doc!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What's the matter? Where you going?

Well, I've been looking for you.

We got to get out to Dorf's, Matt.

- What's wrong? - Well, they came and took Althea.

We got to get there. Come on.

Well, let's go.

You just can't put her in that cellar again.

She ain't strong.

She's gonna learn her lesson.

No, she can't bear it.

Oh, stop your whimpering, woman.

Oh, what am I going to do?

Take this saloon finery and burn it.

She ain't never gonna dirty

the name of Claude Dorf ever again.

No harm in having a pretty dress.

Woman, do I have to take a stick to you?

Pa?

Somebody's coming.

Go on.

It's... it's the doctor and the marshal.

Get in the corn crib, son.

In the house, woman.

Please, Claude, no shooting.

I'm going to kill them for what they done to Althea.

They ain't done nothing but save her life.

You want to kill them for that?

I said in the house!

Whoa, whoa.

Better get down behind the buggy, Doc.

All right, Marshal.

Turn around and keep moving while you still can.

I didn't come here to fight. I want to talk to you.

You've been warned.

You're trespassing my property.

Get them, Clem.

You killed my boy.

You ain't never gonna leave here alive.

I'm going to kill you!

I couldn't let him do no more.

You all right, Mrs. Dorf?

Where's Althea?

In the cellar.

We couldn't live like that no more.

I had to... kill him, Marshal.

I'll have to go in with you.

Won't I?

Well, yes, Mrs. Dorf, we'll... we'll all be going into town.

Althea?

Oh...

I knew you'd come.

I knew you'd come.

There was shooting.

Ma.

Is Ma all right?

She's all right.

We'll be all right.

We're gonna be all right.

You want another one, Doc?

No, no, thanks, Kitty.

You can draw me one, Sam.

Yes, ma'am.

Matt?

Will Mrs. Dorf have to stand trial?

Oh, she'll probably have to stand trial, Kitty,

but when Judge Blent hears the whole story,

he's bound to let her go.

Mmm.

Well, then there's Althea.

Althea will be all right.

Well, how can you be so sure?

Well, Mrs. Dorf will see to it.

So will I.

We all will.

You know, Doc, if you keep on adopting all your patients

like that, you're gonna spread us pretty thin.

- Kitty? - Mm-hmm?

Changed my mind... I'm gonna have a nightcap.

- Another beer, Doc? - No, Sam.

I want something out of that

Smokey Jack's bottle right there.

Have you tasted this stuff, Doc?

No, and I don't intend to.

Well, you've won the wedding ring, Doc.

I know it, and I want it.

What are you gonna do with that, Doc?

Sam, I'm surprised at you.

You gotten so old that you don't know

there are fair damsels everywhere?

And there are knights in shining armor

that come riding across the moors.

They always have, and they always will.

What's the matter with him?

Is he aiming to take himself a bride?

No, I don't think so, Sam.

Uh-uh.

Oh, no, but, uh,

he sure is counting on giving one away someday.
