NARRATOR: "Gunsmoke," with
Milburn Stone as Doc, Amanda

Blake as Kitty, Ken
Curtis as Festus,

Buck Taylor as
Newly, and starring

James Arness as Matt Dillon.

Well, Slick, I'll be made
of milk if he don't hang on.

Done took him up
a rock slide, he'd

slip in it, through
water where a trout

couldn't find his own shadow.

And in all, there he is.

Just keeps coming on steady
and even as a toenail

growing in a casket.

Yes sir, Slick.

I'll be a gelded rooster if I
can figure out why they do it,

all on account of I gutted me a
gambler as crooked as a gully.

You'd figure they'd be right
glad to get rid of him.

But no, got them laws
tattooed on their eyeballs.

The bible ain't no
seriouser to 'em.

They don't never learn,
just keep coming after you,

bigger than a skinned mule.

Fool doings.

Ought to be a law about the law.

This'n here, though, well,
he's got sand to him.

Most of 'em don't have.

Still in all, gonna
lose his life.

He don't ever learn.

[music playing]

[gunshot]

[music playing]

You want me?

[music playing]

They don't ever learn.

[music playing]

Just never learn.

[music playing]

They do not ever learn.

[music playing]

Mornin', Settler.

You didn't dream about a short
tree full of coons last night.

I heard 'em, too.

Gonna be a year for wolves.

And welping about the same
time we'll be calving.

Best keep your eyes skinned.

Let's see if we can trick those
chickens out of some eggs.

[music playing]

You smoothed out
some country, boy.

Did you throw him or did
he take off up the creek

after a gold sign and get
lost in his own shadow?

Bet he's in trouble,
wherever he is.

[music playing]

Come on, Settler.

Come on.

[music playing]

[dog barks]

See him, Settler?

Well, you just
gonna stand there,

or you want me to
sing a hymn over you?

Go get him.

[dog barking]

[music playing]

Well, Settler, he finally
surfaced, after all.

Two days you snored loud enough
to fetch hogs from a mire.

Here, drink this.

Elk gall juice and liver soup.

Doesn't sound nor
taste pretty, but it'll

make a fort out of soft sand.

Obliged.

You got no papers on
you, so I've got to ask

you right out who you are.

[music playing]

All right.

Where you from?

[music playing]

Well, who shot you?

Look, what I'm getting
at is are you wanted?

[music playing]

I don't know.

You don't remember
getting shot?

No.

You don't remember
none of nothing?

I guess not.

Well, I'm a-- I heard about
such, but I never believed it.

Not recollecting anything?

Like they put you in a box and
raised the lid another time.

I'm sorry to have
troubled you, ma'am.

I'll be leaving.

Then you'll go crawling.

That right ankle's bad swollen.

But you dont'
remember none of that?

No, ma'am.

My name's Mike.

Mike?

I was supposed to be a boy.

Ma tried for Peggy, but
mountain for stubborn Pa

was, and Mike it is.

And I'm going to call you
Dan because Daniel come

into the lion's
den, and that's what

you'll be in if you take light
the circumstances here abouts.

Now, drink that.

Yes, ma'am.

How'd you get me here?

You horse come in sore-footed.

Settler-- that's my dog-- and me
backtracked to where you were.

I got you on my horse--

You got me on a horse?

Well, you helped some.

But I guess you could push
a grizzly over the rafters

easier.

Drink that.
-Yes, ma'am.

And it isn't ma'am.

It's Mike.

Yes, ma'am.

Uh, Mike.

You know, I may not remember
who I am or how I got here,

but I'll tell you one thing--
I never knew anybody called

Mike looks as good as you do.

You want to know something?

I shouldn't never
have picked you up.

Never.

[music playing]

Anything?

No, ma'am.

Old Canoot says he ain't
seen hide nor hair of him

or heard nothing, neither.

Doc, I'm worried.

He's been gone over two weeks.

Well, Kitty, how many times
have we sat at this very table

and worried about Matt?

Now, you know as well
as I do, he'll come

riding in here before long.

You can bet on it.

Well, I don't care
what anybody says.

If he's not back
here pretty soon,

somebody's gotta
go looking for him.

Well, that's just
what I'm fixing to--

Now, hold on just a minute.

Let's don't go traipsing
around the country

without knowing
what we're doing.

Tell you what to
do-- Festus, you go

over to the telegraph office.

You tell Barney to wire
every station up north.

Now, we'll get a
line on him that way.

All right.

That'll do 'er, Doc.

Now, that's the only
sensible thing to do.

You're not fooling
me one bit, girlie.

You're just as worried as I am.

[music playing]

[music playing]

Just what do you think
you're doing out here?

Good morning.

I asked you a question.

Well, I figured I'd
been goldbricking

around here for a week.

I-- it was about time I
started to earn my keep.

Who said I was gonna keep you?

Just a figure of speech, ma'am.

Uh, Mike.

I'll be leaving in the morning.

Leaving?

You can't even walk,
let alone ride.

Well, I've been a burden
to you long enough here.

I'll tell you when
you're a burden to me.

I'll also tell you when you're
fit enough to ride out of here.

And let me get some peace
and quiet in the morning.

Sorry I woke you.

Breakfast will be
ready in 15 minutes.

Don't let me call you again.

Yes, ma'am.

[SINGING] Got breath like
a fox and a face like a box.

Heart of pure gold
turned permanent green.

And I love my sweet Raylee.

Whoa, Slick.

Had to be a hasty
[inaudible] spread.

You gotta figure it
come legal, seeing

how he wouldn't know a running
iron from his own backside.

Yeah, but he's smart, Slick.

Got the devil in his
pocket with a lock on.

But, maybe we can get
us a short roost here.

Opposites attract, my papa
said when he left Mama.

You know, it ain't the
world I'm asking for,

Judge, just one valley.

Just one valley, Ray.

You're 100 miles to the spine
of this land, this valley.

I don't care if it's the
stairs to the moon, Ray.

I want her land.

Look, I want to make
something of this valley,

and I can't do it
with her owning

the rights to those headwaters.

Ray, if we could get a federal
grant for a stage line,

it'd have to come
right down the divide

and right through her bonnet.

Property condemned
in the public need.

Be a train coming
down shortly to Buell.

We're gonna need that
rail line, Judge.

You see that, don't you?

Like to make something of those
God-chosen Earth that lasts.

But I need those
headwaters, Ray!

And that Yardner woman,
she couldn't find a smile

to life if she had a knit.

No way to her.

Well, I see your concern.

I don't say I don't
agree in the long of it.

And I'd be a liar if I said you
hadn't helped me into office.

But I never asked
you for a favor, Ray.

That was the bargain.

Yeah, we made an
agreement, Hasty--

what was good for the land,
land being this country.

Now, this Yardner woman, well,
maybe she's a mite frosty.

But she's got guts
and an iron basket

working that spread
of hers alone.

And that's how it all
started-- with guts.

We got to have the
likes of that woman.

The country needs 'em.

Now, you talk to her, Hasty.

We all tried.

Nobody but a fool shakes
hands twice with a bear trap.

Why don't you try and
incorporating her, Hasty?

She's still a woman.

I know that they can
be forts sometimes,

but they still got a pulse.

Oh, now, lookie here, Judge--

Hasty, you're making an empire,
and I'm making a judgment.

What that woman
owns, she's earned.

When you try to use the law
to break a part of life,

I can't sanction it.

And I won't.

And that's all?

Yep.

You a hard man.

Oh, just born on the
hard side of the bed.

We ain't far apart.

MAN: Hey!
LES DEAN: Watch it, Slim!

MAN: Ow!

Hey, hold it!

What's going on here?

This here one come in,
no asking, just straight.

Come and I braced, took to his
horse, and that old beat bit

me!

Done sent him east to
all the best schools.

Still in all, I guess a skunk
still smells like a skunk

to him.

That's about it.

My thoughts as well.

Didn't mean no
[inaudible], Starcourt.

It ain't Starcourt.

It's Mr. Starcourt.

Now, you water
your horse, and you

ride out of here, right now.

I go where I want,
when I want, junior boy.

Wait a minute, Monte.

Wait a minute.

Where you come from?

About anywheres
the compass turns.

Where you going?

LES DEAN: Where the
spirit moves me.

What can you do?

About anything I
ever thought of.

Use that gun?

Some.

Get.

You're hired.

$25 a month and found.

Bunkhouse is yonder.

Don't use it.

I'll bed in a river
wood, fetch my own found.

$30 a month.

What's your name?

Lester Dean this year.

You've found work, Dean.

See you first light.

Come on, Slick.

Mr. Starcourt, $30 a month?

Right.

Excusing me, Mr.
Starcourt, but that's

$10 more than our top
hands are getting.

Oh, he'll earn it, Monte.

Don't you worry.
He'll earn it.

Go get him, Settler, before
he thinks himself to death.

Go on.

[barking]

All right, Settler.

General calls, the troops move.

[barking]

Settler come in?

No, he's a dog.

He sure doesn't know it.

Ah, smells Like pie.

A side of muley roast.

Their prime this time of year.

Should have made
a stout son of a--

Son of a gun stew?

Yeah.

Son of a gun stew.

I can carve if you want.

I never want.

And I've been
carving, butchering,

skinning, and scaling since
before I can remember.

Get some plates.
-Yes, ma'am.

Uh, Mike.

Plates.

Plates.

Knives and forks are
in the-- wrong cupboard.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Ain't that the common
word these days.

The plates are in here.

So you like muley roast?

No, not in particular.

Same as Ma, not particular.

That and a pound
of tears at night.

That dress, did
you ever wear it?

Once.

Johnny Yardner
was all this land--

big, wild as any cliff
eagle, yet kind as clover.

He always had a smile
and a joke to the day.

Come out here together.

Sunday morning he
was out mustanging,

wind howling like a banshee.

His horse found a
prairie dog hole.

Tracked him as quick as I could.

When I turned him
over, he was grinning

that sideways grin of his.

He said, sorry.

Hell of a way to take the
honey out of honeymoon.

Then he died.

That'll be three
years ago Friday next.

You been taking care of
this place alone ever since?

MIKE: I have me a Mexican
field hand from time to time.

But yeah, I run it.

It's getting cold.

Let's eat.

Stop all that sugarfooting.

Dear Chief, a mule
deer was shot,

and it rolled down the
side canyon so that I had

to quarter it to get it out.

Some potatoes I kept
from freezing this year

by doing everything but
putting them under the hens,

some dried apples in a pie.

For all the bounty
you laid on this table

without an ounce
of effort from us,

we're right here to thank you.

Amen.

[music playing]

Eat.

[music playing]

I thought you were hungry.

[music playing]

Now, we've talked on it, and
you know what stands and where.

I do, Starcourt.

Mr. Starcourt.

You know something, Starcourt?

I do believe if if'n you's
would tie his tongue down,

his arms would talk enough
to flap 'em to death.

$100 here, $100 in the bank
in Starcourt when it's done.

I don't care how she's removed.

I don't like murder,
but I've been around it.

I sense you're a better man.

But you got needs,
that's plain to see.

And you're not known.

That's my concern.

But you double back on me,
Dean, and I'll skin you.

I'll set my men on you,
I'll drag you back,

and I'll skin you slow
as any squaw ever wished.

Understand?

Monte, there's 100-silver
pouch in the right desk drawer.

Get it.

But Mr. Starcourt--

Get the money, junior boy.

Let the men talk.

Gentleman might
be right, Monte.

So you have your own idea
what money is, Mr. Dean.

Yep.

Reward.

Reward?

LES DEAN: You trap, you
shoot, you do your getting.

Doing the best that's in
you, and you get that reward.

Done proper, it's money.

Done what ain't
proper and it's you.

You and what's coming now.

Coin, not paper.

I'll see her, I'll
know what to do.

[music playing]

Let's go, Slick.

[music playing]

Excusing me, Mr. Starcourt, I
figure you want me to kill him.

Oh, we'll kill him,
Monte, all right.

What kind of businessmen
would we be, letting $200

go down the craw of
some sundown shadow

who's just as dead as
the buffalo he smells of?

[music playing]

[board creaking]

What are you doing up there?

The roof needed fixing.

The roof needs fixing
in a dozen places.

How come you picked to
spot right over my head?

Just lucky, I guess.

Well, close up that hole
and go patch somewhere else.

Yes, ma'am.

[music playing]

[board creaking]

Oh, uh, forgot to
say good morning.

Get out of here!

[music playing]

[SINGING] I seen
her in the moonlight,

later in the sunlight.

And the moonlight was best
when there weren't no moon.

No way to spoon.

[music playing]

Mike, you got any beeswax?

It's in the hutch
where we got the dishes.

MATT: Thanks.

[music playing]

What's the matter?

Haven't you ever seen a
woman in a dress before?

I guess I just forgot
how good it looks.

Well, don't go getting any
ideas that this is for you.

Oh, of course not.

Course not.

Woman has to have a change
once in a while, you know.

Ow.

Let me see it.

It's nothing.

Well, why don't you
just go sit down

and finish whatever
it was you were doing?

Whatever you say.

Thanks.

Where'll you go?

Oh, I don't know.

Someplace, find work, I guess.

Must be lonesome, not
knowing who you are, where you

come from, why you was shot at.

Guess you think on it.

Yeah, I've been thinking
on it, all right.

Oh, I'm such a fool.

Most of us are.

You got particulars?

Couldn't sleep last night.

Yeah, I, uh, heard you tossing.

Did you?

Would have occurred to
some to come find out why.

Occurred to me.

I'd have shot you deader
than a banker's pulse.

I don't think so.

Why not?

The gun is right there.

Appears to me the idea
did a lot more than just

occur to you.

You took it all the way
round the mulberry bush.

Well, if the gun was out here--

Yeah?

Well, what stopped you?

Well, maybe I'm a married
man with a bunch of kids.

You're not.

You sure?

I'm sure.

How?

You've got a disconcerting
way of looking at a woman,

like you're measuring her.

Is that so?

MIKE: Mhm.

Married man with
kids gets that beaten

out of him sooner than later.

You're a range bull, mister.

There's no ring in your nose.

You, uh, said you
couldn't sleep.

I was thinking.

MATT: That always
keep you awake?

It does when it
concerns my way of life.

Meaning what?

You're almost well now.

MATT: Yeah.

That means you either
gotta go or make

up your mind about staying.

You mean I got a choice?

Guess so.

That's what all the
thinking was about.

You don't know who you
are, where you're from.

And maybe you never will.

I don't think you're married,
so that solves one problem.

But you sure are something.

Got a way about you tells
me whatever you did,

you did with authority.

I like that.

I like you, too.

[music playing]

I tried not to, but--

That a proposal?

You can go straight to hell!

Mike.

I'd like to stay.

[music playing]

LES DEAN: Hello, the cabin!

[dog barking]

Damn this place is worse than
Dodge City on a Saturday night.

[music playing]

What's the matter?

I don't know.

LES DEAN: Coming in peaceful.

[music playing]

Are you all right?

Yeah.

[music playing]

Well?

It's all right, Settler.

Take it easy.

I'll be made of milk if that
ain't a fine looking dog,

ma'am.

MIKE: He'll do.

What do you want?

Water for old Slick
under me and vittles.

I got money.

I've been out a spell, but
I'm well-fashioned, ma'am.

Ma'am.

Sure, we're all well-fashioned.

And that's the well yonder.

And come in.

I do thank you, ma'am.

And you stay out here.

You're taking on men's ways.

[knocking]

Come in.

I surely do thank you, ma'am.

Uh, ma'am, didn't
know you had company.

MIKE: Ain't company.

Two's company.

This is Mr. Daniel.

He's just passing through.

How do?

Mr. Daniel.

We finished eating, but
there's some son of a gun stew.

Sit.

That's nicely, ma'am.

Ma'am.

Well, call me Favorite.

Favorite?

Ain't that a name
thought, ma'am?

Well, it come this way, it did.

We had eight boys, all of
them scuffy but trying.

Well, when I come along, they
waterwitched over my momma's

tummy, sizing they was.

Well, they just knowed
I was gonna be a girl,

so they called me Favorite.

Name ain't ma'am.

It's Mike.

Mike Yardner.

Mike, ma'am?

Oh, surely.

Mike.
Yeah, ma'am.

Things sure do come out
left hands, don't they?

Got to agree with that.

Mhm.

Ma'am, it's the best!

Frog's in it, what does it.

If'n it'll make you
hop, I'm all for it.

Never thought I'd be taking
bait under a roof tonight.

No, sir.

Not after that pass up yonder
with the wind howling like lost

souls hunting for graves.

You come down that
pass, did you, Dan?

No.

Oh, no business of mine.

None at all.

Got to tell you the
truth though, Miss Mike,

I was told I had best tread
easy if I was to come by here.

You was a widow woman I
was told, with a trigger

temper and a rifle to prove it.

They told you right.

I don't take to strangers.

Dan here got himself
stove up somehow or other.

Settler and me found him
out on the prairie closer

to judgment than
being prayed over

and waiting for the shovel.

I'll be made of milk
if that ain't a caution.

How'd that happen?

Somebody took a shot
at me, creased my skull.

I don't remember anything.

Yeah, I heard of
such things happening.

Times I wish I couldn't
remember nothing.

Yes, sir, there have been times.

Well, you appear to be
doing all right now, though.

Thanks to my nurse and that
son of a gun stew there.

Well, it's getting late.

I'll be out in the barn.

Me and old Slick's been together
so long, every time I snore,

he answers.

See you first light.

[music playing]

Oh, and, uh, ma'am?

Like the man said,
that's son of a gun stew.

That's pure sugar to
a body used to lemons.

First light.

[music playing]

Well, Mike, uh,
we never did figure

out, am I going or staying?

Well, you can't go
now, not at this hour.

We'll talk again in the morning.

MATT: Oh, Mike, uh, are
you going to need that?

No.

We're a lot closer to
understanding one another

than we were.

I just don't want you
to get dizzy going

round that mulberry bush and
lose your sense of direction.

[music playing]

Goodnight, Mike.

Sleep well.

[music playing]

Oh, hell!

[music playing]

[whistling]

It is truly difficult for a lady
to get some sleep around here.

[music playing]

Morning.

Morning.

How come you're
always up before I am.

I, uh, kind of wondered
about that myself.

And?

Figured you're bone lazy.

I'll take this coffee
out to Fortunate,

and then I'll fix
us some breakfast.

All right, fine.

[les singing]

Yes sir, Slick, ain't
it a caution the way

the wind comes to you with
thoughts as clear as brook ice?

I was wrong.

I was wrong.

Well, we just go
visiting, we will.

Visiting where?

Starts the heart, Favorite.

Where you going?

Just got here.

Best set a while.

Thank you, Mike, ma'am.

I ain't no drifter, though.

I come certain as a front side.

I come to kill you, ma'am.

Kill me?

Starcourt.

He wants this valley,
short grass and long.

Paid me 100 eagles,
full feather,

hundred more in a bank in town.

I done bent low in recent
time, but not this low.

A man could pound greased
iron with a woman like you.

Dillon's come on
to luck after all.

Dillon?

I seen the way
you looked at him.

It do become a woman
to look like that.

You'll have a good life.

What he don't know
won't chew on him.

You said Dillon.

You know him?

Know him?

I was near wearing
him for three days.

Made of steel twice, that one.

Had to shoot him.

You?

Yeah, I shot a man in Dodge
was meant for a bullet.

That man in yonder, that's Matt
Dillon, Marshal of Dodge City.

He's put in his time.

Now you take to the
sunlight, the both of you.

Be riding, Miss Mike.

Well, where you going?

Going back to Starcourt, go
and take him bag his eagles.

Gonna tell him when they saw
the roost, they took the moat.

Don't never call it Favorite.

MATT: Isn't that
Favorite riding out?

Uh-huh.

Kind of a short
hello, wasn't it?

Had to see Starcourt.

Who's Starcourt?

Big rancher next
valley, wants this land.

Sent Favorite to kill me.

What?

Think he found shame to it.

Anyway, he's returning the
money Starcourt gave him.

If he goes back there,
they'll kill him.

Matt, don't do it.

Matt?

[music playing]

You called me Matt?

You're Matt Dillon,
marshal, Dodge City.

That's why y strange when
I mentioned Dodge City.

You were on the
verge of remembering.

How did Fortunate know?

He's the man who shot you.

You were trailing him for
killing a man in Dodge.

Heavens Vincent.

What?

That's the gambler he shot.

You remember then?

Yeah.

Everything?

Everything.

[music playing]

Mike, I'm sorry.

I got a badge, responsibility,
20 years of my life.

20 years and you
never got married?

She must have been
some kind of woman.

Mike.

Well, I said it.

I never should have
picked you up, never.

Well, go on.

Go save Fortunate or
arrest him or do whatever

you have to do with him.

I'll come back.
We'll talk about it.

Will you get out of here?

[music playing]

Mr. Starcourt, that man Dean?

Well, what about him?

His horse just came
in, but he wasn't on it.

Well, get out there
and bring him in!

You short-bellied--
Farnsworth, Stopper, go get him!

What for?

Thought I better let
you know where I was.

Shame to have you boys
running all over the country.

Stand easy.

You, junior boy.

Pour a drink?

Go to hell.

Been there.
Pour a drink.

All right, now.

Back away, easy.

You best put that
hand up on the bar.

Put it up there,
you want to keep it.

I didn't double on you,
moneypockets, just found

some folks worth the worth.

The whole worth, moneypockets.

That makes them as
different from you

and me as the north
end from the south end.

'Sides, you was, uh-- you was
aiming on killing me anyway,

wasn't you?
-Still am.

She's still in my way, Dean.

Now you are, too.

Five to one, Dean.

Less you're lightning
for Dodge, then

you're gonna wind up with more
lead in you than a Boston bar.

I ain't saying
you won't kill me.

I'm saying I don't care.

Done my living, moneypockets.

I done it all.

You ain't licked your lip
come the first bullet,

I'm gonna put a hole in you low.

And you gonna shout out loud.

Spend a long time praying,
even longer dying.

[gunshot]

All right, now.

I'm gonna ride out of here.

There's gonna be two instead
of one at that woman's ranch.

And they deserve
heaven for supper.

Come I to hear that you put
any rocks in the way of that,

you can start looking for me
anytime the moon's covered.

Now I'm riding out of here.

The only where you're riding
is to a hill with a hole in it.

Hold it!

[gunfire]

All right, you men.

Drop your guns.

Move back.

Heavens Vincent?

Yeah.

I figured you had to
surface sooner or later.

Always played the odds too long.

You take me back, that it?

That's right.

Rope or jail?

I don't know.

Well, wouldn't mind a rope.

They way they do-da-day
around, it's bound to be jail.

Couldn't stand to that.

Don't do it.

Gonna lose your
light, you don't learn.

Trouble is, reckon I waited
just a-- maybe a hair too long.

[music playing]

One of 'em got lucky.

Oh, I'll be made of milk.

Ain't she a woman clean.

Stand to her, Dillon.

Things are built for
the likes of her.

I'll be made of milk.

[horse hooves]

[dog barking]

[music playing]

You all right?

Yeah, I'm all right.

I want you to know
something, Daniel.

It ain't easy to find two
good men and lose 'em both.

[music playing]

Mike.

Mike!
