James Arness as Matt Dillon.

[ Loud clattering ]

-He said what?

-Said he was celebrating.

-Ow! Aah!

-I think it's gonna be
one expensive celebration.

-Oh, oh, oh!

Oh...
-Ben!

-Oh!

-That's enough!

-[ Chuckles ]

-What's goin' on here?
Who started this?

-Marshal, I --
Oh, Newly! [ Laughs ]

-For a man who can't drink,
Ben, you're doin' all right.

-Ben's been tryin' to prove

that he's better
than the Bar W boys.

-Marshal, I -- I'm buyin' you
and my ol' friend Newly here

all you can drink.
I -- I'm so --

-Ben, I'll tell ya what
you're gonna have to do first.

You're gonna have to pay
for all these damages.

And then you're gonna spend
the day in jail soberin' up.

-Marshal, maybe
I could sober Ben up.

I -- I don't think he's ever
seen the inside of a jail.

-Well, Ben, do ya think
you could behave yourself

if I turn ya over to Newly here?

-Salt of the earth, Marshal.

You -- you and ol' Newly.
-Appreciate it, Marshal.

Come on, Ben.

-Want you to be my best man,
Newly.

-Heh heh, sure.
-Whoa!

-Right now, a good, cold bath.

-Mrs. Arthur Lane.

-Best man?

-There ain't a better way
to describe you, Newly.

-Ben, you're gettin' married?

-That's dear to what I mean.

-Miss Celia Madden.

-Thank you.

-It's her.
-Who?

-Well, he said it plain out.

Celia Madden.

Can't be.

She's beautiful.

-Who is she?

-Wasn't supposed
to come till tomorrow.

I-I marked it down.

Hey, she's too pretty.

-Ben, are you sayin'
this is the gal?

-Oh, we've been writin'.

But she never told me
she was so...

-You mean you're set to marry
a gal you don't even know,

you never seen?

-One more up here, Miss Madden.

Get it for you in a minute.
-Thank you. No hurry.

-I'm in trouble, Newly.

Girl that pretty ain't gonna
marry a big, homely ox like me.

Well, I gotta get sober
and cleaned up.

Newly, you get to her.

And don't let
her come to my shop.

Well, if she sees me like this,
well...

Don't even figure a pretty girl
like that'd be lonely.

[ Knocking ]

-Miss Madden,
I'm Newly O'Brien,

a friend of Ben Sommars.

-Oh, oh, please come in.

-Ben and me saw the stage
come in today.

And, well,
you bein' a day early,

Ben asked me to come over here
and meet ya.

He's been workin'
in that blacksmith shop

of his all mornin', and --

and he wanted a chance
to appear presentable.

-Oh, I see.

May I offer you a chair?

-Thank you, ma'am.

-I was,
um, I was just unpacking.

-Well, don't let me stop ya.

-A friend of Ben's.

-We've known each other
for years.

-I guess I don't have
to ask if he's attractive.

Attractive men always have
attractive friends, it seems.

-Thank you.

-I guess you know that Ben
and I have been writing

to each other.

-As a matter of fact, I didn't.

-Oh, well,
then I guess that makes it a --

a private matter, I mean,

Ben keeping it to himself.

-If you don't mind me askin',
how did ya start writin'?

-I am from Nemaha County.

-I'm afraid I never heard
of that one.

-[ Laughs ] Yes,
that's what I mean.

It's very close
to the Missouri border.

And, oh, I think we had,

uh, three farmers
and 100 square miles.

It's the kind of place
where you find yourself

talking to the deer comin'
down from the hills.

[ Both laugh ]

-Well,
that's when I started writing.

It was fun writing
to -- to people, you know,

in all sorts of places.

But then, uh, Ben and I,
we started writing,

and we've just
been writing ever since.

-Ben, he was, uh, well, he said
somethin' about marriage.

-Well, yes, but we -- we both
agreed that we had to get

to know more about each other.

-So he asked you
to come to Dodge.

-Yes. Well, we thought it would
be fun to meet in person.

And, well, of course, Ben, he --
he couldn't leave his work.

Tell me, Mr. O'Brien, um...

is -- is...
[ Chuckles ]

Well, is -- is Ben, um...

-He's the hardest-workin' man
in Dodge City.

-Oh, yes, I'm sure about that.

It's just that, well, his --

his letters, they were so...

gentle is the only way
I know how to describe them.

-He's a gentle man, all right.
In fact,

he don't even take a drink,
except on special occasions.

But he's no prude.

[ Both laugh ]

-Sure of that. Nope.

[ Both chuckle ]

-Well, that's
why I started writing him.

[ Both laugh ]

-That must be him now.
But let me get it.

Ben!

This is Miss Madden.

Well, you've sorta met.

I'll leave
while you get acquainted.

-No.

I mean...flowers.

-For me?

-Oh, no.

I mean, I brought flowers...

I -- I -- I mean...

-Oh, they're beautiful.
[ Chuckles ]

-I better get back to my shop.

Nice to have met you,
Miss Madden.

Ben.

-You didn't really have
to, Ben.

-Oh, I -- I -- I...

I...

Sure is warm in here.

Bet you didn't expect
anybody so ugly, huh?

-Ugly?

[ Exhales ]

Oh, Ben, I --

I was --

I was worried you might be
disappointed with me.

-Disappointed? Oh, no.

Well, you're so -- so...

I am...

Welcome to Dodge, Celia.

-Oh.
-Yeah.

-Thank you.

[ Both laugh nervously ]

-No, no. You have
missed the point entirely.

All I'm tryin' to say to you
is this --

According to Darwin's theory
of evolution,

somewhere along the line,
way back,

you've got an ancestor

that swung from the trees
by his tail.

-I'd just like to see
you look my Grandma Hog Haggen

in the eye one time
and say that to her,

'specially if she
had the skillet in her hand.

You don't hear him talkin'
about his grandpa a-jumpin'

around the trees,

a-grabbin' at bananas, do ya?

-Course my ancestors --
-Well --

-Here comes somebody

that looks like he's
got somethin' on his mind.

How 'bout a drink, Newly?
-No thanks, Miss Kitty.

None of it figures.

They're gonna get married,
so it's no secret.

But it --
it just don't figure at all.

-Who's a-gettin' married?

-Ben Sommars and some gal
that came in on the stage.

-Ben's gettin' married?

-Some gal he's been writin' to.

He sent away for her,
and, well, she's here.

She comes from Nemaha County,
some place up near Missouri.

-Well, that there is

what I call sendin' a long ways
for trouble.

-She doesn't look
like a farm girl.

And she's got a dress
that looks like she bought it

in San Francisco.

-Well, she could have ordered
it from a mail-order catalog.

-But not the way she was tryin'
to hide it from me.

-Hide it?
-That's what it looked like.

-Newly, I wouldn't get involved
in Ben's romance if I were you.

As a matter of fact,
I wouldn't get involved

in anybody's romance.

-Actually, that's good advice.

Quickest way to lose a friend

is try to tell him what kind
of a girl he oughta marry

or he hadn't oughta marry.

-Doc, this gal is in town
because Ben Sommars

has a prosperous business.

I'm sure of it.
He's a lonely man.

He loves kids, and, I mean, he's
wide open for a big letdown.

-Newly, don't underrate Ben.

He may look like a big,
slow-thinkin' ox,

but he's not a stupid man.

-Well, a man's looks
are not that important anyway.

No matter how bad a man looks,

there is always some girl
that looks upon him

as the most dashing,
the most handsome,

the most ro--

With a few exceptions,
of course.

-I don't think it's gonna
be too hard to find out what's

on this gal's mind.

And I can't -- I can't just
sit by and let Ben Sommars

get his feelings hurt.

I'll see y'all later.
-Newly.

-See ya, Newly.

[ Clangs ]

-Oh! [ Laughing ]

Oh!

Oh, let me try it.

Oh!
-[ Laughs ]

-My, that's heavy!
-Get used to it.

It -- it's 'bout
what I do all day long.

-Well, you're terribly strong.

-Kinda comes from workin' hard.

-From your letters, I've --

I've seen it a hundred times.

-Doin' it most
all my life, blacksmithin'.

-[ Chuckles ]

Oh, it must get awfully warm
working in here all day.

-Oh, well, figure long
about middle of the day,

you could find me
sweatin' some.

But I wash off clean
soon as I'm done.

-I'm sure you do.

I -- I wasn't concerned,
Benjamin.

-Always call me Ben
in the letters.

-Ben.

-I didn't mean to get forward.

-[ Chuckles ]

You're never that, Ben.

-I, uh, kinda like
your name -- Celia.

-Hope I'm not interruptin'
anything.

-Oh, no.
Come on in, Newly.

We -- we was just talkin'.

-And I knew
you'd be busy workin',

so I thought I'd show
Miss Madden around town.

-Well, behind in some
of my work, all right.

Takes a friend
to think of that, Newly.

-Miss Madden.

-Oh, wouldn't trust ya
with nobody else, Celia.

Newly's my brother,
brother I never had, that is.

Tell you what.
Soon as I'm done workin',

we'll all go have supper
together at Delmonico's.

-Come on, Miss Madden.
-Oh, uh, Celia.

-[ Laughs ]
-Celia. Celia.

-Uh...

-Yes, Ben?

-We'll ride out tomorrow,

and I'll be showin' ya
my farm then.

600 acres of prime land.

Well, like I said in my letter.

Sell the smithy business
and get to farmin'.

Ol', big house and room for kids
to run around...

-Oh.
-[ Chuckles nervously ]

-Oh... [ Chuckles ]
Well...

you two go on
and have a good time.

I -- I'll see ya at supper.

-Just never thought Dodge
was such a big town.

-You should see it
when the herds are in,

the money that changes hands.

We have some of the richest
cattlemen in the country passin'

through Dodge.

Right there's my gun shop.

You haven't told me too much
about yourself, Celia.

Did you live on that farm
with your folks?

-Oh, no, it was a family took me
in when my folks passed on.

-Workin' a wheat farm's
pretty tough work for a girl.

-Wheat?
-Martin County.

It's a good wheat country
out here.

-We raise nothing special, just
some cows and some chickens.

Comin' south, I thought I saw
more wheat land than up north.

-Lower part of the country
is startin' to build up too.

-Oh, I just thought
anybody dealing with guns

would do real good business.
-You bet. The best.

Matter of fact,
I tried to talk Ben

into opening up a gunsmith shop
over in Garden City.

-But he's got his blacksmith
shop.

-Well, it's really
a hand-to-mouth business

being a blacksmith.
Ben tries hard.

Don't misunderstand me.

But he barely gets by.

-Really?

Seems to me
that he's doing very, very well.

-You're a very pretty girl,
Celia.

-Oh. I do thank you,
Mr. O'Brien.

-A pretty girl in Dodge can
really do all right for herself.

Lots of bachelors runnin'
around, rich spreads and so on.

-Tell me more about Ben.

-Ben?

Ben's a fine man,
but he's set in his ways.

A little old-fashioned,
you might say --

a woman's place is in the home
and so on.

He's got his mind
set on raisin' a dozen kids,

just like his own mother had.
-Ah!

A dozen kids? [ Laughs ]

-Well, he likes big families.

But then again, he's hardheaded
about a lot of things.

You and Ben be waitin' a while.

Give yourselves a chance
to become acquainted?

-I kinda like what I see in Ben.

-Oh!

-You all right?
-Yes, I'm all right.

It's just these --
these new shoes that I bought.

-There you are.

-Newly's been showin' me
his gun shop, Ben.

-Oh, yeah.

Feel like havin' that supper
now, Celia?

-Uh, let me go to the hotel
and freshen up first?

-Well, sure.

Call for ya in, say, 10 minutes?

Uh...

Sure do appreciate you makin'
Celia feel at home, Newly.

-It was my pleasure, Ben.

-Yeah, I bet it was.

You still plannin'
on havin' supper with us?

-Sure.

-Hey, come to think of it,

maybe it wouldn't be
such a good idea after all.

I mean, you might have
a little trouble chewin'.

-Why is that?

-Bad enough you knowin'
how I feel about Celia.

But you bein' my best friend,
that makes it worse.

That $100 became $500
real quick.

She sayin' she's gonna
buy furniture, china and so on.

Then another $100 here,
another $100 there.

Why, before she left town,

she was better than $900
to the good.

But then, you add another $500

lookin' to get satisfaction for.

For every lie she give you,

I can give you a fact

I can get my money back.

No, please, Mr. Blake!

that Ben has

so you have iron-clad security
in case there's a default,

which, of course,
is only technically needed.

-I'm kinda sorry about
that little misunderstandin'

the other night.

Best forgotten.

-If we had to sell that shop,

Mr. Botkin,
how much would it be worth?

-Well, uh, physical assets,
about 500.

-But, you're loaning $1,000
against it.

-Well, yes.

There's the reputation
of the man to be considered.

-I don't know.

-You don't know what?

-I just don't know.

-You forgettin' who you
come to when you

wanted to open up that gun shop?

-Except then,
I was, modestly thinkin',

a little bit more stable
than you are.

-You were what?
-I think I have the right

to know
if Ben here is a saving man.

-Ain't none o' your business.

-I think I should be informed,

if he's the same ol'
Ben that we've all known,

or if all of the sudden
he hasn't become, shall we say,

extravagant?

-Are you signin' or not?

-Last couple of days drunk,

fightin' in the Long Branch,
bein' temperamental.

-Are you signin'?
-I'm a cautious man, Ben,

and I'm not...
-Well, I think I got the idea!

You aren't my friend.
-Now, now.

-Well, am I worth $1,000
or not, on my own name?

-You're worth it, Ben.

Yes, I'll have the money
in your hands tomorrow morning

after conferring
with the directors,

which I will handle tonight.

Well, he is upset isn't he?

-It'd be a simple world
without females, Mr. Botkin.

More complicated, but simple.

A peculiar thing.

I guess they have more than two
