There's a bright golden haze
on the meadow

There's a bright golden haze
on the meadow

The corn is as high
as an elephant's eye

And it looks like
it's climbin' clear up to the sky

Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day

I got a beautiful feeling

Everything's goin' my way

[ Birds Chirping ]

All the sounds of the earth
are like music

All the sounds of the earth
are like music

The breeze is so busy
it don't miss a tree

And a ol' weepin' willer
is laughin' at me

Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day

I got a beautiful feeling

Everything's goin' my way

Oh, what a beautiful day

[ Rooster Crows ]

[ Chickens Clucking ]

- Hi, Aunt Eller!
- Don't scare me to death.

- What you doin' around here?
- I come a-singin' to you.

Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day

I got a beautiful feeling

Everything's goin' my way

If I wasn't an old woman, and if you
wasn't so young and smart-alecky,

why, I'd marry you and get you
to sit around at night and sing to me.

No, you wouldn't neither, 'cause I wouldn't
marry you nor none of your kinfolk.

- If I could help it.
- Oh, none of my kinfolks, huh?

And you can tell 'em that too.
All of 'em.

Including that niece of your'n,
Miss Laurey Williams.

Who you takin'
to the box social tonight?

I ain't thought much
about it yet.

- Bet you come over to ask Laurey.
- What if I did?

You askin' me too?
I'll wear my fascinator.

- Yeah, you too.
- Yeah, yeah.

Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day

I thought you were somebody.

I got a beautiful feeling

Everything's goin' my way

Is this all that's come a-callin'
at already 8:00 this Saturday morning?

You knowed it was me
before you opened the door.

- No such of a thing.
- Well, you did too.

You heared my voice.
You knowed it was me.

I heared someone singing
like a bullfrog in a pond.

You knowed it was me, so you set in there,
thinkin' up something mean to say.

I'm a good mind
not to ask you to the box social.

- Oh, you two.
- If you asked me, I wouldn't go with you.

Besides, how'd you take me?

You ain't bought a new buggy
with red wheels onto it, have you?

No, I ain't.

A spankin' team
with their bridles all a-jinglin'?

No.

Expect me to ride on
behind ol' Blue I guess.

You better ask that old Cummings girl
you took such a shine to.

If I was to ask you, Miss Laurey smarty,
there'd be a way to take ya.

Oh, there would?

How'd we get there?

When I take you out
tonight with me

Honey, here's the way
it's gonna be

You will set behind a team
of snow-white horses

In the slickest gig
you ever see

Chicks and ducks
and geese better scurry

When I take you out
in the surrey

When I take you out in the surrey
with the fringe on top

Watch that fringe
and see how it flutters

When I drive them
high-steppin' strutters

Nosy pokes'll peek
through their shutters

And their eyes'll pop

The wheels are yeller
the upholstery's brown

The dashboard's
genuine leather

With isinglass curtains
you can roll right down

In case there's
a change in the weather

Two bright sidelights
winkin' and blinkin'

Ain't no finer rig
I'm a-thinkin'

You can keep your rig
if you're thinkin'

That I'd "keer" to swap

For that shiny little surrey
with the fringe on the top

Would you say the fringe
was made of silk

[ Laughs ]

Wouldn't have
no other kind but silk

Has it really got a team
of snow-white horses

One's like snow
The other's more like milk

All the world
will fly in a flurry

When I take you
out in the surrey

When I take you out in the surrey
with the fringe on top

When we hit that road
hell for leather

Cats and dogs'll dance
in the heather

Birds and frogs'll
sing all together

And the toads will hop

The wind'll whistle
as we rattle along

The cows'll moo
in the clover

The river will ripple out
a whispered song

And whisper it over and over

[ Softly ]
Don't you wish you'd go on forever

Don't you wish you'd go on forever

Don't you wish
you'd go on forever

And it'd never stop

In that shiny little surrey
with the fringe on the top

You'd sure feel like a queen
settin' up in that carriage.

Only she talked to me
so mean a while back,

- I'm a good mind not to take her.
- I ain't said I was goin'.

- Well, I ain't asked ya.
- Where'd you get such a rig at?

I'll bet he's went and hired a rig
over at Claremore, thinkin' I'd go with him.

I did not hire it.
I made the whole thing up out of my head.

- What? Made it up?
- Dashboard and all.

[ Laughing ]

Get off the place, you!

Aunt Eller, make him get hisself
out of here! Tellin' me lies.

Now hold on. Makin' up a few "purties"
ain't agin no law I know of.

Besides, don't you wish
there was such a rig though?

You could go to the play party and do a
hoedown till morning if you was a mind to.

Then when you was all wore out,
why, I'd just lift you onto the surrey,

jump up alongside you,
and we'd just point the horses home.

I can just picture
the whole thing.

I can see the stars
gettin' blurry

When we ride back home
in the surrey

Ridin' slowly home
in the surrey

With the fringe on top

I can feel the day
gettin' older

Feel a sleepy head
near my shoulder

Noddin', droopin'
close to my shoulder

Till it falls, kerplop

The sun is swimmin'
on the rim of a hill

The moon is takin' a header

And just as I'm thinkin'
all the earth is still

A lark'll wake up
in the medder

Hush, you bird
my baby's a-sleepin'

Maybe got a dream
worth a-keepin'

Whoa, you team
and just keep a-creepin'

At a slow clip-clop

Don't you hurry
with the surrey

With the fringe

On the

Top

- Only... Only there ain't no such rig.
- Well, uh...

Why'd you come around here
with your stories

and your lies, gettin' me all worked up?

Why don't you grab her and kiss her
when she acts that-a-way, Curly?

She's just aching
for you to, I bet.

I won't even speak to him,
let alone allow him to kiss me,

the braggin', bowlegged,
wished-he'd-had-a-sweetheart bum!

She likes you quite a lot.

She liked me any more,
she'd sic the dogs onto me.

- Hello, Jud.
- Hello, yourself.

Listen, who's the low filthy sneak
Laurey's got her cap set for?

- You.
- Never mind that.

Must be plenty of men a-tryin' to spark her.

Plenty.

What about him? Oh, she wouldn't
take up with a fella like that,

that bullet-colored,
growly hired hand.

Now, don't you go say
nothin' agin Jud.

Best hired hand I ever had.

Just about runs
the farm by hisself.

Well, two women couldn't do it.
You oughta know 'at.

He's around
all the time, ain't he?

Takes his meals with you
and sleeps down in the smokehouse.

I changed my mind
about cleaning the henhouse today.

I gotta quit early because
I'm driving Laurey to the party tonight.

- You're driving Laurey?
- I asked her.

Well, wouldn't that
just make you bawl?

Don't forget, Aunt Eller.
You and me still got a date together.

How we going, Curly,
in that rig you made up?

That there ain't
no made-up rig, you hear?

I done hired it
over to Claremore.

- Why don't you go with him?
- I can't. I promised Jud.

Why ever did you?

'Cause Curly's too fresh and too bigheaded,

waitin' till
the last minute to ask me.

Aunt Eller, are you really going
with Curly tonight?

I sure am.
You didn't want him.

But you could go
with me and Jud.

You picked your feller,
I picked mine.

That's the way
you want it, ain't it?

You're sure a pair.

Crazy young'uns.

It's time I started
for the station.

Hey, Curly.
Tell all the folks to stop by here

on their way to the Skidmore party
to freshen up.

I will, Aunt Eller. You be sure and have
your beauty spots fastened on proper

so as you won't lose
them off, you hear?

That's a right smart turnout.

Ain't no finer rig
I'm a-thinkin'

That I'd keer to swap

For that shiny little surrey

With the fringe on the top

[ Wheels Rattling ]

Aunt Eller!

Lookin' for me?

Should be a nice evenin'
for the party.

- Jud.
- What?

I... I don't think I can...

You ain't figurin' goin'
with someone else, are you?

Well, I...

Laurey!

I'll come by for you
along around about sundown.

[ Train Chugging ]

[ Bell Ringing ]

[ Dog Barking ]

[ Chattering ]

What'd you do up at the fair, Will?
Bust any bones?

Aw, too smart for that.
Just made sure I landed on my head.

- Will Parker.
- Hi, Aunt Eller.

If you ain't got them fancy lanterns
for the Skidmore party,

- get back on that train.
- [ Laughs ]

- Here you are.
- You do any good in the steer ropin', Will?

Oh, I did pretty good.
I won prize money.

- Good boy.
- I knowed you would.

I gotta get
over to Ado Annie's.

Her pa said I could have her
if'n I was ever worth $50.

And I got that $50.

If Annie's pa
keeps his promise,

we'll be dancin'
at your wedding.

If'n he don't,
I'll take her right from under his nose.

Besides which, I won't give him
the present I brung for him.

Lookee here, fellas,
what I got for Ado Annie's pa.

Excuse us, Aunt Eller.
You hold it up to your eye like this, see.

Then when you get a good look, you turn it
around at the top and the picture changes.

- Well, I'll be "sidegated."
- They call it the Little Wonder.

Silly goats!

The hussy!

Ought to be ashamed of herself.

You too. How do you turn the thing
to see the other picture?

- Right at the top, Aunt Eller.
- Wait, I'm gettin' it.

[ Gasps ]

[ Laughs ]

Oh, I'm a good mind
to tell Annie on you.

Bet you carried on
plenty in Kansas City.

Well, I sure did see a lot of things
I never did see before.

I got to Kansas City
on a Friday

By Saturday I learned
a thing or two

'Cause up to then
I didn't have an idy

Of what the modren world
was comin' to

I counted 20 gas buggies
goin' by theirselves

Almost every time
I took a walk

And then I put my ear
to a Bell telephone

And a strange woman
started in to talk

- To you?
- What next?

- Yeah, what?
- What next?

Everything's up to date
in Kansas City

They've gone about
as "fur" as they can go

They went and built a skyscraper
seven stories high

'Bout as high as
a buildin' oughta grow

Everything's like a dream
in Kansas City

It's better
than a magic lantern show

You can turn the radiator on
whenever you want some heat

With every kind of comfort
every house is all complete

You can walk to privies in the rain
and never wet your feet

They've gone about as fur
as they can go

Yes, sir
They've gone about as fur as they can go

Everything's up to date
in Kansas City

They've gone about as fur
as they can go

They got a big theater
they call a bur-lee-que

- For 50 cents you can see a dandy show
- Gals?

One of the gals is fat and pink and pretty

Aha!

As round above
as she was round below

I could swear that she was padded
from her shoulder to her heel

And then she started dancin'
and her dancin' made me feel

That every single thing
she had was absolutely real

She went about as fur
as she could go

Yes, sir
She went about as fur as she could go

- What you doin', Will?
- Well, this is called a two-step.

That's all they're dancing nowadays.
The waltz is through.

Of course, they don't do it alone.
Come on, Aunt Eller!

- Oh, that's about as fur as I can go
- Yes, sir

And that's about as fur
as she can go

- What you doing now, Will?
- Well, this here's called ragtime.

I seen a couple actors doin' it.

- Don't like it.
- Oh, Will, I do!

[ Horse Nickers ]

Still don't like it.

Come on, Aunt Eller, do-si-do!

Hey, ha, pick it up!

[ Chattering ]

- Ha ha!
- Hyah!

Ho!

[ Chattering ]

Ha!

Yahoo!

Hey there, Will Parker!
Come back here!

- [ Bell Ringing ]
- [ Train Whistle Blowing ]

- [ Girls ] Oh!
- [ Bell Ringing ]

[ Train Whistle Blows ]

[ Bell Clanging ]

Ado Annie, I could ride with you like this
to the end of the world.

Please, Mr. Hakim,
don't start talkin' purty.

Yoo-hoo! Laurey!
Yoo-hoo!

Whoa!

Laurey!

- Hello, Laurey.
- What you doing with that peddler-man?

- Will Parker gets back today.
- Will Parker. Oh, foot.

- I didn't count on today being Saturday.
- I can see that.

My, oh, my, Miss Laurey!
"Jippity" crickets.

Last time I come through here,
you was teeny like a shrimp with freckles.

Now look on you.

Quit a-bitin' me!
If you ain't had no breakfast,

go eat yourself a green apple.

Are you coming in or going out?

Standing still while you're here.
Go up to the house and wait.

It would be no trouble at all
to wait right here.

So much water.

Why don't we all
take a swim together?

In Persia, where I come from,
bathing is a social event.

- Well, this ain't Persia!
- I can already see you two young ladies

in those beautiful
Persian bathing suits.

What do they wear
when they bathe socially in Persia?

- Nothing.
- Nothing.

Ooh!

The peddler-man's gonna drive me
to the box social.

I got up sort of a tasty lunch.

But you're promised
to Will Parker, ain't ya?

Ain't what you might say, promised.
I just told him maybe.

- Don't you like Will no more?
- Of course I do.

There won't never be
nobody like Will.

Then what about
this peddler-man?

Oh, there won't never be
nobody like him neither.

Well, you gotta make up your mind.
Which one do you like the best?

- Whatever one I'm with.
- Well, you are a silly.

Well, now, Laurey, you know that nobody
paid me no mind up till this year

on account I was scrawny
and flat as a beanpole.

But then I kinda
rounded up a little,

- and now the boys act different to me.
- What's wrong with that?

Nothing's wrong.
I like it!

I like it so much
when a fella talks pretty to me,

I get all shaky
from horn to hoof.

- Don't you?
- Can't think what you're talking about.

Don't you feel kinda sorry for a fella
when he looks like he wants to kiss ya?

Well, you can't just go around
kissing every man that asks ya.

Didn't anyone tell you that?

Yeah, they told me.

It ain't so much a question

Of not knowin' what to do

I knowed what's right
and wrong since I been 10

I heared a lot of stories

And I reckon they are true

About how girls
are put upon by men

I know I mustn't
fall into the pit

But when I'm with a feller

I fergit

I'm just a girl
who cain't say no

I'm in a terrible fix

I always say come on, let's go

Just when I oughta say nix

When a person tries
to kiss a girl

I know she oughta
give his face a smack

But as soon as
someone kisses me

I somehow sorta
wanna kiss him back

I'm just a fool
when lights are low

I cain't be prissy and quaint

I ain't the type that can faint

How can I be what I ain't

I cain't

Say no

What you gonna do
when a fella gets flirty?

And starts to talk purty?

What you gonna do?

Supposin' that he says that
your lips are like cherries?

Or roses or berries?

What you gonna do?

Supposin' that he says
that you're sweeter 'an cream?

And he's gotta
have cream or die?

What you gonna do
when he talks that way?

Spit in his eye?

I'm just a girl
who cain't say no

Kissing's my favorite food

With or without the mistletoe

I'm in a holiday mood

Other girls are coy
and hard to catch

But other girls
ain't havin' any fun

Every time I lose
a wrestlin' match

I have a funny feelin'
that I won

Though I can feel the undertow

I never make a complaint

Till it's too late for restraint

Then when I want to I cain't

I cain't

Say

No

It's like I told you, Laurey,
I get sorry for 'em.

And now that old Will
has to come home.

First thing you know,
he'll start talking pretty to me

and changing my mind back.

- But Will wants to marry you.
- So does Ali Hakim.

- Did he ask you about marryin'?
- Not directly.

But how I knowed is,
he said this morning

that he wanted for me to ride with him
to the end of the world.

Well, if we drove only as far as "Catoosy,"
he couldn't bring me home till morning

and that means
a wedding, don't it?

Not to a peddler, it don't.

[ Bells Clanging ]

I've been waiting for you to show
your face again, old peddler-man.

Remember what you told me?

You said that eggbeater you sold me
would beat up eggs, wring out dishrags,

turn the ice cream freezer
and I don't know what all.

Now, Aunt Eller, just listen.

Don't you Aunt Eller me, you little wart.
I'm mad.

All right. All right!

If the eggbeater don't work,
I give you something just as good.

- A present.
- I wouldn't have it.

- What is it?
- Real silk. Made in Persia.

What would I do with
an old Persian garter?

It looks pretty.
Now lemme have the other one.

Which one? Oh, you mean you want to buy
this one to match that one?

What do you mean
do I wanna buy it?

I can let you have it
for 50 cents.

Do you want me to get that eggbeater
and ram it down your windpipe?

- Gimme that.
- Howdy, Aunt Eller.

- Howdy, yourself.
- Now that all the ladies are here,

let me show you
some pretty "doodaddles."

Lace around the bottom
and there are bows running in and out.

Well, I never wear 'em myself,
but I sure do like to look at 'em.

All right.
How about these?

Yeah, they's all right
if you ain't goin' no place.

Don't nobody
want to buy something?

How about you, Miss Laurey?
You must be wanting something,

a pretty young girl like you.

Me? Of course
I want something.

I want a buckle made out of shiny silver
to fasten onto my shoes.

I want a dress with lace.
I want perfume. I want to be purty.

- I wanna smell like a honeysuckle vine.
- Give her a cake of soap.

I want things
I can't tell you about.

Not only things to look at
and hold in your hand,

but things to happen to you,

things so nice that if they ever did happen
to you, your heart would quit beating.

I got a-just the thing.

The elixir of Egypt.

A secret formula,
belong to pharaoh's daughter.

- Smellin' salts.
- But a special kind of smelling salts.

Here, read what it says
on the label.

You take a deep breath,
and you see everything clear.

That's what pharaoh's daughter used to do

when she had to decide
what dress to wear,

or which prince
she ought to marry.

She would take a whiff of this.

- I'll take a bottle of that, Mr. Peddler.
- Precious stuff.

- How much?
- Two bits.

- Throwin' away your money.
- Helps you decide what to do.

Put your trappings away
and come inside.

Come on, Laurey. Maybe we can find him
something to eat and drink.

Ali, Laurey and me
been having an argument.

About what, baby?

What you meant when you said that about
drivin' with me to the end of the world.

Well, I didn't really mean
to the end of the world.

Well, then how far
did you wanna go?

About as far
as say, Claremore.

- What's at Claremore?
- The hotel.

In front is a veranda,
inside is the lobby,

and upstairs, baby,
might be paradise.

I thought they's just bedrooms.

For you and me, baby, paradise.

You see, I knowed I was right.
You do wanna marry me, don'tcha?

Oh, Ado Annie...
What did you say?

I said you do wanna marry me, don'tcha?
What'd you say?

I didn't say nothing.

[ Man ] Ya-hoo!

Oh, foot, just when...
That's Will Parker.

Promise me
you won't fight him!

Why fight? I never saw the man before.
I fight only my friends.

[ Whinnies ]

Ado Annie!
How's my honey bunch?

How's the sweetest little
120 pounds of sugar in the territory?

Will, this is Ali Hakim.

Hiya, Hak!
Don't mind the way I talk.

It's all right.
I'm gonna marry her.

- Marry her? On purpose?
- No such other thing!

Oh, it's a wonderful thing
to be married.

- I got a brother in Persia got six wife.
- Six wives all at once?

Why sure. That's the way they do it
in them countries.

Not always. I got another brother
in Persia only got one wife.

He's a bachelor.

You know what I got
for first prize at the fair?

- Fifty dollars.
- Well, that was good.

- Fifty dollars.
- You catch on?

Your pa promised I could marry you

if'n I could ever get $50 together
all at one time.

That's right.
He did.

Your pa's like
all the rest of them farmers.

Don't think us cowboys
got much sense.

Well, this'll show him.
You know what I done with the $50?

- I spent it all on presents for you.
- Oh!

But if you spent it,
you ain't got no cash.

What I got's
worth more than cash.

The fella that sold me
the stuff told me.

- But, Will...
- Oh, stop saying "But, Will."

When do I get a little kiss?

Oh, Ado Annie, honey,
you ain't been off my mind since I left,

all the time at the fairgrounds
even when I was chasing them steers.

Why, I'd rope one under the hoofs,
and I'd pull him up real sharp,

and he'd land on his little old rump
and then I'd think of you.

Don't start talkin' purty.

See'd a lot of pretty girls in Kansas City.
I didn't give one a look.

How could you see 'em
if you didn't give 'em a look?

Well, I mean, I didn't look lovin' at them,
the way I look at you.

Oh, Will, please don't look like that.
I cain't bear it.

I won't stop looking like this
till you give me a little ol' kiss.

Oh, what's a little old kiss?

Nothin', less'n it comes from you.

Oh, you... You do talk purty.

No! I... I won't!

Supposin' that I say that
your lips are like cherries

Or roses or berries

What you gonna do

Can't you feel my heart
palpitatin' and bumpin'

A-waitin' for somethin'
Somethin' nice from you

I gotta get a kiss
and it's gotta be quick

Or I'll jump
in a creek and die

What's a girl to do
when you talk that way

[ Yipping ]

Must be the folks stopping
on their way to Skidmore's. Oh!

Oh, you're all welcome!
Glad you could all come.

Everybody come in
and have a good time.

[ Cackling ]

I've been right behind you
the whole way.

- I know. I heared you.
- [ Cackles ]

Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day

I got a beautiful feeling

Everything's goin' my way

Oh, what a beautiful day

[ Cackles ]

Girls, come on in the house and freshen up.

And you boys better drive your wagons
down to the trough

and give your horses some water.

Hey, Curly, don't you reckon
you better take care of your horses too?

Thanks, Aunt Eller.
I reckon I better.

Oh, can't I come too, Curly? I just love to
watch the way you handle horses.

It's about all
I can handle, I guess.

[ Cackles ]

Another mile in that buggy with that
Perkins boy, and I'd have lost my mind.

I'll take Wilbur
if you don't want him.

Looks like Curly's took up
with that Cummings girl.

[ Gasps ]

What do I care about that?

Why should a woman
who is healthy and strong

Blubber like a baby
if her man goes away?

A-weepin' and a-wailin'
how he's done her wrong

That's one thing
you'll never hear me say

Never gonna think
that the man I lose

Is the only man among men

I'll snap my fingers
to show I don't care

I'll buy me
a brand-new dress to wear

I'll scrub my neck

And I'll brush my hair

And start all over again

Many a new face
will please my eye

Many a new love will find me

Never have I once
looked back to sigh

Over the romance behind me

Many a new day
will dawn before I do

Many a light lad
may kiss and fly

A kiss gone by is bygone

Never have I asked
an August sky

Where has last July gone

Never have I wandered
through the rye

Wondering where has
some guy gone

Many a new day
will dawn before I do

Many a new face
will please my eye

Many a new love will find me

Never have I once
looked back to sigh

Over the romance behind me

Many a new day
will dawn before I do

Never have I chased the honeybee

Who carelessly cajoled me

Somebody else
just as sweet as he

Cheered me and consoled me

Never have I wept into my tea

Over the deal
someone doled me

Many a new day will dawn

Many a red sun will set

Many a blue moon will shine

Before I do

Many a new face
will please my eye

Many a new love will find me

Never have I once
looked back to sigh

Over the romance behind me

Many a new day will dawn

Many a red sun will set

Many a blue moon will shine

Before...

[ Woman Cackles ]

Many a blue moon will shine

Before I

Do

Maurice, time we got out of here.

Back to the open road.

The open road

Ali. Ali, I'm sure sorry
to see you lookin' so happy,

'cause what I got to say
will make you miserable.

- I gotta marry Will.
- Oh, well, that sure is sad news for me.

Well, he's a fine fellow.

Don't hide your feelings, Ali!
I can't bear it.

I'd rather have you come right out
and say your heart's busted in two.

- Are you positive you got to marry Will?
- Sure as shootin'!

There's no chance
for you to change your mind?

No chance.

All right then. My heart is busted in two.

[ Gunshot ]

- Hello, Pa. What you been shootin'?
- Rabbits.

That true what I hear
about Will Parker getting $50?

That's right, Pa.
He wants to hold you to your promise.

Too bad. Still in all,
I can't go back on my word.

Listen to me, Annie, I advise you
to get that money before he loses it all.

Put it in your stocking
or inside your corset

where he can't get at it.
Or can he?

But, Pa, he ain't exactly kept it.
He spent it all on presents.

See, what did I tell ya?
Well, now he can't have you.

- I said it had to be $50 cash!
- Is that fair, Mr. Carnes?

- Who the devil are you?
- Oh, Pa, that's Ali Hakim.

Well, shut your face,
or I'll fill your behind so full of buckshot,

you'll be walking around like a duck
the rest of your life.

Ali, if I don't
have to marry Will,

maybe your heart don't have to
be busted in two like you said.

- I did not say that.
- Oh, yes, you did.

No, I did not.

Are you trying to
make my daughter out to be a liar?

No, I'm only trying to make clear to you
what a liar I am, if she is telling the truth.

- What else you been sayin' to my daughter?
- Oh! An awful lot.

- When?
- Last night in the moonlight.

- Where?
- Alongside a haystack.

- Oh, listen, Mr. Carnes.
- I'm listenin'. What else did you say?

- He called me his Persian kitten.
- What'd you call her that fer?

- I don't remember.
- I do. He said I's like a Persian kitten,

'cause they is the cats
with the soft, round tails.

That's enough. In this part of the country,
that better be a proposal of marriage.

- That's what I thought.
- That what you think?

- Look, Mr. Carnes...
- I'm lookin'. I'm lookin'.

I'm no good.
I'm a peddler!

A peddler travels
up and down, all around.

You'd hardly ever
see your daughter no more.

That'd be all right.
You just take care of her, son.

- Just take care of my little rosebud.
- Oh, Pa, 'at's purty.

Uh, you sure for certain
you can bear to let me go?

- Are you sure, Mr. Carnes?
- You just try to change my mind.

Aw, Ali, ain't it wonderful, Pa making up
our minds for us?

And he won't change neither.

Once he gives his word
that you can have me, you've got me!

I know I got you.

Mrs. Ali Hakim,
the peddler's bride!

[ Women Giggling ]

Oh, wait till I tell those girls!

Laurey! Laurey!

The peddler-man and me's
gonna get married!

[ Woman Cackling ]

Congratulations.

I hope we'll be very happy.

Oh, hi, Laurey.
What you doin'?

Gonna pick peaches.
What you doin'?

[ Giggles ]

I peeked in your basket up at the house.

I see you got
gooseberry tarts too.

I wonder if they's
as light as mine.

Mine would like to float away
if you blew on them.

I just did blow on one of mine,
and it broke into a million pieces.

Ain't she funny?

[ Laughs ]

- Oh!
- Hey, now, girls!

Stop it, Laurey!

[ Indistinct Arguing ]

Gertie! Gertie!

Go on up the house
and cool off!

Get on! Mind!

Don't forget tonight at the auction, Curly,
mine's the biggest hamper!

[ Cackles ]

So that's that old Cummings gal
I heared so much talk of.

- You seen her before, ain't ya?
- But not since she got so old.

Never did see anybody
get so peaked-lookin' in such a short time.

Yeah. Says she's 18.
Ha! Bet she's 19.

Are you really gonna drive
to the box social with that Jud fella?

- I reckon so. Why?
- Oh, nothing.

It's just that everybody seems
to expect me to take you.

Then maybe it's just
as well you ain't!

We don't want people
talkin' about us, do we?

Do you think people
really do talk about us?

You know how they are,
like a swarm of mud wasps,

always gotta be buzzing
about something.

What are they saying,
that you're stuck on me?

Uh-uh.

Most of the talk is
that you're stuck on me.

Can't imagine how these
ugly rumors start.

Me, neither.

Why do they think up stories
that link my name with yours

Why do the neighbors gossip all day
behind their doors

I know a way to prove what they say
is quite untrue

Here is the gist
a practical list

Of don'ts

For you

Don't throw

Bouquets at me

Don't please

My folks too much

Don't laugh

At my jokes too much

People will say we're in love

Who laughs at your jokes?

Don't sigh

And gaze at me

Your sighs

Are so like mine

Your eyes

Mustn't glow like mine

People will say we're in love

Don't start

Collecting things

Like what?

Give me my rose and my glove

Sweetheart

They're suspecting things

People will say

We're in love

Some people claim
that you are to blame

As much as I

Why do you take
the trouble to bake

My favorite pie

Grantin' your wish
I carved our initials

On that tree

Just keep a slice
of all the advice

You give so free

Don't praise

My charm too much

Don't look

So vain with me

Don't stand

In the rain with me

People will say we're in love

Don't take

My arm too much

Don't keep

Your hand in mine

Your hand

Feels so grand in mine

People will say we're in love

Don't dance

All night with me

Till the stars fade from above

They'll see

It's all right with me

People will say

We're in

Love

Don't you reckon you could tell that
Jud fella you'd rather go with me tonight?

Curly...

No, I couldn't.

No, you couldn't.

Think I'll go down to the smokehouse
where Jud's at.

See what's so elegant about him, makes
all the girls want to go to parties with him.

- Curly!
- What?

Nothin'.

[ Quacking ]

[ Knock At Door ]

All right, open it, can't you?

Well, what do you want?

I... I done got through
with my business up there at the house.

I just thought I'd pay a call.

- You got a gun, I see.
- That's right.

It's a Colt.45.

Say, now.

That there pink picture...
That's a naked woman, ain't it?

Plumb stark naked as a jaybird.

That ain't nothing
to what I could show you.

That's a good-lookin' rope.
Feels good too.

[ Grunts ]

That's a good,
strong hook you got there, Jud.

You know, you could hang
yourself on that.

- I could what?
- You could hang yourself.

Yes, sirree.
Easy as fallin' off a log.

Why, in five minutes or less,
with good luck,

- you could be dead as a doornail.
- What do you mean by that?

And then folks would
come to your funeral.

- And they'd sing sad songs.
- [ Scoffs ]

Why, they would.

You never know how many people
like you till you're dead.

You'd be laid out in a parlor.

All decked out in your best suit.

Your hair all combed down slick.
You'd have a high starched collar.

Lots of pretty flowers
all around.

- There'd be flowers, you think?
- Oh, and palms too,

all around your coffin.

People standing around,
and men would bare their heads.

Women would sniffle softly.

Some probably even faint, ones that
took a shine to you whilst you was alive.

Now, what women
ever took a shine to me?

Why, lots of women.

Only they never come right out
and tell you how they feel

unless you die first.

I guess maybe that's right.

They'd sure sing loud, though,
when the singin' would start.

Sing like their hearts
would break.

Poor Jud is dead

Poor Jud Fry is dead

All gather round
his coffin now and cry

He had a heart of gold

And he wasn't very old

Oh, why did such a fella
have to die

Poor Jud is dead

Poor Jud Fry is dead

He's lookin', oh, so peaceful
and serene

And serene

He's all laid out to rest

With his hands across'd his chest

His fingernails
have never been so clean

And then the preacher'd
get up, and he'd say...

Folks, we are gathered here to moan
and groan over our brother Jud Fry

Who hung hisself up
by a rope in a smokehouse

And then there'd be weepin' and wailin'
from some of those women.

And then he'd say...

Jud was the most misunderstood man
in this territory

People used to think
he was a mean, ugly fella

And call him a dirty skunk
and ornery pig stealer

But the folks
that really knowed him

Knowed that beneath
them two dirty shirts he always wore

There beat a heart
as big as all outdoors

As big as all outdoors

Jud Fry loved his fellow man

He loved his fellow man

He loved the birds of the forests
and the beasts of the field

He loved the mice
and the vermin in the barn

And he treated the rats
like equals

Which was right.

He loved
all the little children

He loved everything
and everybody in the world

Only...
Only he never let on

So nobody ever knowed it

Poor Jud is dead

Poor Jud Fry is dead

His friends will weep and wail
for miles around

Miles around

The daisies in the dell

Will give out
a different smell

Because poor Jud
is underneath the ground

Poor Jud is dead

A candle lights his head

He's layin' in a coffin
made of wood

Wood

And folks are feelin' sad

'Cause they used to treat him bad

And now they know their friend
has gone for good

Good

[ Together ] Poor Jud is dead

A candle lights his head

He's lookin'
oh, so pretty and so nice

He looks like he's asleep

It's a shame
that he won't keep

But it's summer

And we're runnin' out of ice

[ Together ] Poor

Jud

Poor

Jud

[ Chuckles ] Well, that sure will be
an interesting funeral.

I wouldn't like to miss it.

- Well, maybe you will. Maybe you'll go first.
- Maybe.

Well, let's see now.

Where'd you work at
before you come up here?

- Was up by, uh, Quapaw, wasn't it?
- That's right.

Lousy they was to me too.

Always makin' out
they were better than I was.

Always treating me
like I was dirt.

So, uh, what'd you do?
Get even?

Who said anything
about getting even?

No one I recollect.
Just come into my head.

If it come to gettin' even with somebody,
I'd know how to do it.

You remember the fire
in the Bartlett farm over by Sweetwater?

I sure do.
It was about five years ago.

Burned up the father
and the mother and the daughter.

It was a terrible accident.

That weren't no accident.

Fella told me.

Said that the hired hand
was stuck on the Bartlett girl

and one day he found her in the hayloft
with another fella.

And 'twas him
that burned the place?

Took him weeks to get the kerosene,
buying it at different times.

Fella that told me, he made out
like it happened in Missouri,

but I knew all the time
it was the Bartlett farm.

What a liar he was.

Get a little air in here.

You ain't told me yet
what business you had here.

We got no cattle to sell.
We got no cow ponies.

Could be only one other thing on this farm
you could want, and it better not be that.

- That's just what it is.
- You keep away from her, you hear?

You know, somebody
ought to tell Laurey

just what kind of a man you are.

And for that matter, somebody
ought to tell you once about yourself.

Curly, you better
get out of here.

In this country, there's just two things
you can do if you're a man.

You can live outdoors is one,
and you can live in a hole is the other.

I set by my horse
in the brush somewheres

and I heared a rattlesnake
many a time.

[ Imitates Rattlesnake ] He'd go...

Scared to death
somebody gonna step on him.

- Got his old fangs all ready.
- Curly, you better get out of here!

How'd you get to be
the way you are anyhow?

Sittin' in here in this filthy hole.

Why don't you do something healthy
once in a while,

'stead of stayin' shut up here,
crawlin' and festerin'?

[ Shouts ]

[ Dog Barking, Chickens Clucking ]

Well, you oughta
feel better now.

I wish you'd let me
show you something.

There's a knothole over there,

about as big as a dime.

You see it a-winkin'?

[ Dog Barking, Chickens Clucking ]

Right through the knothole.
Slick as a whistle.

[ Clamoring ]

Who fired off a gun?
Was that you, Curly?

Well, uh, I shot once.

Well, what was you
shooting at?

- Knotholes.
- Well, ain't you a pair of pretty nothings,

a-peckin' away at knotholes
and scarin' everybody to death. Well!

What happened, Aunt Eller?
What happened?

Nobody hurt.
Just a pair of fools swappin' noises.

Mind if I visit with you gents?
I got a few pretties here.

Uh, private knickknacks,
special for the menfolk.

Not me. I gotta shine up that surrey
I done hired for tonight.

Laurey promised to go to the party
with me,

and she better not change her mind.

She better not!

Now, take a look at those.
Straight from Paris.

- You got any frog-stickers?
- You mean one of them long knives?

I tell you what I like better.

You ever hear of
a thing called a Little Wonder?

You hold it up to your eye
and look through it to see pictures.

You say to a fella, "Come here. I wanna
show you something. Look through this."

While he's lookin', you press
a little jigger on the end,

out snaps a blade,
and bang, down you come.

Ugh.

That's a good joke
to play on a friend.

No, I don't have no things like that.
That's too dangerous.

- Here, take a look at these postcards.
- I'm sick of them things.

I want me a real woman.
I'm tired of all these pictures of women.

Well, throw them away.
Buy some new ones.

If you get tired of a woman,
what can you do?

Nothing. You just keep
getting tireder and tireder.

I've made up my mind.

Oh, say, do you know a girl
named Ado Annie?

- I don't want her.
- I don't want her either, but I got her.

Ain't you done your basket yet?

Lands, you ain't even dressed.

I believe you got something worryin'
on your mind.

Aunt Eller, I want everything
to stay just the way it is.

- Well, won't it?
- I like living the way we do.

I like the looks of the prairie
outside my window,

and the thicket
where the possums live,

and the way we set round
in the evenings in thrashing time,

eatin' mush melons
and a-singin', and...

Oh, lots of things.

Why should any of that
have to change, Laurey, honey?

- What if something happened?
- What could happen?

We got money in the bank, and it's gonna
be another good year for corn and oats.

[ Chuckles ]

You are a silly.

"Hold bottle two inches
from nostril.

"Close your eyes and inhale.

"Ask your heart
what you really want,

"and wait for the answer."

[ Sniffs, Coughs ]

Elixir of Egypt,
make up my mind for me.

I'm waitin' for the answer.

[ Woman ] Out of your dreams

Your dreams, your dreams

Out of your dreams

Your dreams, your dreams

Out of my dreams

And into your arms

I long to fly

I will come as evening comes

To woo a waiting sky

Out of my dreams
and into the hush

Of falling shadows

When the mist is low

And stars are breaking through

Then out of my dreams

I'll go

Into a dream

With

you

Crawl along like this,
we'll get there when the party's over.

Last time I saw you alone
was in the winter.

I was sick,

and I remember you brung me
some hot soup out to the smokehouse

and you give it to me.

Me in bed.

And you asked me
if I had a fever.

Put your hand on my head to see.

- I remember.
- Do you?

Bet you don't remember
as much as me.

I remember everything
you ever done,

every word you ever said.

I can't get it out of my mind.

You see how it is?

[ Whooping ]

The farmer and the cowman
should be friends

Oh, the farmer and the cowman
should be friends

One man likes to push a plow

The other likes to chase a cow

But that's no reason why
they can't be friends

Territory folks
should stick together

Territory folks
should all be pals

Cowboys dance
with the farmers' daughters

Farmers dance
with the ranchers' gals

[ Chorus ]
Territory folks should stick together

Territory folks
should all be pals

Cowboys dance
with the farmers' daughters

Farmers dance
with the ranchers' gals

No, no, no.

I'd like to say a word for the farmer

Well, say it.

He come out West
and made a lot of changes

He come out West
and built a lot of fences

And built 'em right across
our cattle ranges

Why don't dirt scratchers go back
to Missouri where they belong?

[ Clamoring ]

The farmer is a good and thrifty citizen

He's thrifty, all right.

No matter what the cowman
says or thinks

You seldom see him drinkin'
in a barroom

Unless somebody else is buyin' drinks

[ Laughing ]

But the farmer and the cowman
should be friends

Oh, the farmer and the cowman
should be friends

The cowman ropes
a cow with ease

The farmer steals her butter and cheese

But that's no reason why
they can't be friends

[ Chorus ]
Territory folks should stick together

Territory folks
should all be pals

Cowboys dance
with the farmers' daughters

Farmers dance
with the ranchers' gals

Quiet, everyone.

I'd like to say a word for the cowboy

You would, would you?

The road he treads
is difficult and stony

He rides for days on end
with just a pony for a friend

I sure am feelin' sorry
for the pony

[ People Shout ]

The farmer should be
sociable with the cowboy

If he rides by and asks
for food and water

Don't treat him like a louse
Make him welcome in your house

But be sure that you lock up
your wife and daughter

Who wants an old
farm woman anyhow?

Notice you married one
so's you could get a square meal.

You can't talk that-a-way
about our women.

He can say what he wants.

[ Crowd Clamoring ]

[ Together ] Oh, the farmer
and the cowman should be friends

Oh, the farmer and the cowman
should be friends

Ain't nobody
gonna slug out anythin'.

This here's a party.

Sing it, Andrew.

[ Hums ]

Oh, the farmer and the cowman
should be friends

Good, but louder. Sing it.

Oh, the farmer and the cowman
should be friends

Sing it. Sing it.

One man likes to push a plow
The other likes to chase a cow

But that's no reason why
they can't be friends

And when this territory
is a state

And joins the Union
just like all the others

The farmer and the cowman
and the merchant

Must all behave theirselves
and act like brothers

I'd like to teach you all
a little sayin'

And learn the words by heart

The way you should

I don't say I'm no better

Than anybody else

But I'll be danged if I ain’t just as good

[ Laughing, Whooping ]

[ Together ]
I don't say I'm no better than anybody else

But I'll be danged
if I ain’t just as good

[ Cheering ]

[ Cheering ]

Yeah!

[ Cheering ]

Quiet, everybody.
Quiet. Quiet.

It's time to start the auction.

Who's gonna be the auctioneer,
Mr. Skidmore?

Why, Aunt Eller, of course.

- Say, Aunt Eller?
- Huh?

Laurey ain't here yet.
What do you reckon's happened?

Oh, they're just pokey.

Loosen up your pockets, fellas.

You've been pounding the floor
of the new schoolhouse.

Now let's get money enough
to raise the roof.

[ Cheering ]

Mr. Skidmore's been generous enough
to give us the land.

- He's got more kids than the rest of us.
- [ Laughter ]

Now, you know
the rules, gentlemen.

You ain't supposed to know
what girl goes with what hamper.

If your sweetheart has told you that hers
will be done up in a certain kind of way,

with a certain color of ribbon,
that ain't my fault.

[ Laughter ]

- I can't hardly lift this one.
- Wonder what's in there.

I'm bound there's
a mince pie in here.

- Is there any rum in it?
- Well, come and sniff for yourself.

- Is there?
- Yeah.

- I'll go two bits.
- Two bits!

- Whoa.
- Hi, Laurey.

Where's Aunt Eller?
And Curly?

Up at the house, I think.

[ Aunt Eller ]
Now what am I offered for this one?

What'd you say, six?
Sold to Pete Larkin for six bits.

Well, Pete, you sure got a pretty gal
to go with your supper.

Well, let's go ahead.

What am I offered for this one?

- Anybody just et?
- [ Laughter ]

- [ Man ] I'll give two bits.
- Two bits.

- Four bits.
- Four bits.

I've heard enough bits.
Let's hear a mouthful.

Hello, young fella.

Well, Mr. Hakim,

I hear you got yourself
engaged to Ado Annie.

- Well, I...
- Well, nothing.

I don't know what to call you.

Ain't pretty enough for a skunk.
Ain't skinny enough for a snake.

Too low to be a man.
Too big to be a mouse.

- I reckon you're a rat.
- That's logical.

Answer me one question.
Do you really love her?

- Well, I... I... I...
- 'Cause if'n I thought you didn't,

I'd tie you up in that there bag
and drop you in the river.

- Are you serious about her?
- Yes, I'm serious.

Do you worship the ground she walks on,
like I do? You'd better say yes.

Yes. Yes.

Would you spend
every cent you had for her?

That's what I did.

See the bag?
Full of presents.

Cost 50 bucks,
all I had in the world.

- If you had that $50...
- I'd have Ado Annie and you'd lose her.

Yeah. I'd lose...

Uh, let's see what
you got in the bag.

Might wanting to buy something.

- What would you want with it?
- I'm a peddler, ain't I?

Hi! [ Babbling ]

What a beautiful hot-water bag.

Looks French.
It must have cost you plenty.

- I give you eight dollar for it.
- Eight dollars?

- That wouldn't be honest. I only paid 3.50...
- All right.

I said I give you eight.
I will.

- Oh, that's a crackerjack.
- Take your hands off that.

- That was for our wedding night.
- It don't fit you so good.

- I give you $22 for it.
- Well, what...

All right, 22.50. Not a cent more.
[ Humming ]

Oh, mighty dainty. Fifteen dollar.

Let's see now.
Twenty-two and eight is 30...

and 15 is 45,
and 50 is 45.50.

Forty-five fifty.
Say, that's almost...

- Uh, you wanna buy some more?
- Might.

You ever see one of these things?
How much you give me for this thing?

- Oh, no. I don't handle things like that.
- It's just a girl in a pink...

- No, that's more than that.
- Hey. Either of you two seen Laurey?

Up to the house, lookin' for Curly.
How much you give me for this thing?

- I told you, I don't...
- What do you want for it?

Well, uh... Well, let's see.

Three dollars and fifty cents.

Sold.

Well, let's see.
That's 3.50 from him, 45.50 from you.

Hey, that makes $50, don't it?

No. One dollar short.

Darn it.
I must have figured wrong.

Well, how much for the rest of the stuff
in this here bag?

- One dollar.
- Done.

Now I got the $50, ain't I?

Know what that means?

Means I'm gonna take Ado Annie
back from you.

- You wouldn't do a thing like that to me.
- Wouldn't I?

When I tell Ado Annie's pa
who I got most of the money off of...

[ Laughs ]...maybe he'll change his mind
about who's smart and who's dumb.

Say, young fella,
you certainly buncoed me.

[ Humming ]

Ooh. [ Humming ]

Now here's the last two hampers.

Whose they are,
I ain't got no idy.

The big one's mine,
and the next one to it is Laurey's.

[ Laughter ]

That's the end of that secret.

Now, what am I bid
for Annie's hamper?

Speak up, friends.
We're all friends.

- Gosh, we're all friends. Come on.
- [ Man ] Two bits.

Two bits.
Got two bits. Two bits.

- Ain't nobody hungry no more?
- [ Laughter ]

What about you,
peddler-man? Six bits?

- No, no. I don't care.
- Bid 'em up.

Six bits!

Six bits ain't enough
for a lunch like Annie can make.

Let's hear a dollar. How about you?
You won her last year.

Hey, Annie, you still got
the same sweet potato pie like last year?

You bet!

Same old sweet potato pie.
What do you say?

I say it gimme
a three-day bellyache.

[ Laughter ]

Never mind about that.
Who bids a dollar?

Come on, bid.

Mine was the last bid.
I got her for six bits.

- Bid a dollar.
- Ninety cents.

Ninety cents.
We're gettin' rich.

Another desk for the schoolhouse.
Do I hear more?

You hear $50.

- Fifty dollars!
- Hey!

Nobody ever bid $50 for a lunch.
Nobody ever bid 10.

- He ain't got $50.
- Oh, yes, I have.

If you're a man of honor, you'll say Annie
belongs to me like you said she would.

- Where's your money?
- Right here in my hand.

That ain't yours. You just bid it, didn't you?
Give it to the schoolhouse.

I still say the peddler
gets my daughter's hand.

- Now, wait a minute! That ain't fair!
- Going for $50.

- Going, going...
- Fifty-one.

- You crazy?
- Fifty...

Wait a minute.
Hold on.

Aunt Eller, if'n I don't bid no more,
I can keep my money, can't I?

- You sure can.
- Then I still got $50, and this is mine.

- You simple-minded shag poke.
- Going, going?

Gone for $51, and that means
Annie'll get the prize, I guess.

- Ooh! Ooh!
- And I'll get Annie, I guess.

And what are you getting
for your $51?

- A three-day bellyache.
- [ Laughter ]

Now, here's my niece's hamper.

[ Murmuring ]

I took a peek inside a while ago,

and I must say
it looks mighty tasty.

- What do I hear, gents?
- Two bits.

- Four bits.
- What you say, six?

- [ Man ] One dollar.
- More like it. Do I hear two?

A dollar and a quarter.

[ Crowd Murmuring ]

[ Man ] Two dollars.

- [ Man #2 ] Two-fifty.
- Three dollars.

- And two bits.
- [ Man #3 ] Three dollars and four bits.

- [ Man #4 ] Four dollars.
- And two bits.

Four dollars and a quarter.
Ain't I gonna hear any more?

Curly?

I got a bid of four and a quarter
from Jud Fry.

You gonna let him
have it? Andrew.

- Four and a half.
- Four and a half! Going for...

Four seventy-five.

Four seventy-five.
Come on, gentlemen.

Schoolhouse ain't built yet.
Got to get a nice "chimbley."

- Five dollars.
- Five dollars! Going for...

And two bits.

Too rich for my blood.
Can't afford no more.

Five and a quarter.
Ain't got nearly enough yet.

Not for cold duck and stuffing
and that lemon meringue pie.

- Six dollars.
- Six dollars!

And two bits.
And two bits.

My, you're stubborn, Jud.

Mr. Carnes is
a richer man than you,

and I know he likes custard
with raspberry syrup.

- Oh, let it go.
- Anybody gonna bid any more?

No, they all dropped out.
Can't you see?

- You got enough, Aunt Eller.
- [ Man ] Yeah, let's get on.

- I got the money.
- Hold on, you.

- I ain't said "going, going, gone" yet.
- Say it!

Going to Jud,
for six dollars and two bits.

Going, going...

[ Crowd Murmuring ]

- Who'd you say was getting Laurey?
- Jud Fry.

- For how much?
- Six and a quarter.

I don't reckon that's quite enough,
do you, Aunt Eller?

It's more than you got.

Got a saddle here.
Cost me $30.

You can't bid saddles.
You can only bid cash.

Thirty-dollar saddle
must be worth something to somebody.

I'll give you 10 dollars.

Don't be a fool, boy.
You can't earn a living without a saddle.

- You got cash?
- Right in my pocket.

Let's don't waste time.
How high you going?

Higher than you, no matter what.

- Aunt Eller, I'm bidding all of this 10 dollars.
- Ten dollars! Going, going...

Ten dollars and two bits.

Curly?

- Most of you men know my horse, Blue.
- [ Crowd Murmuring ]

He's kind of a nice horse.
He's gentle. He's well broke.

Don't sell Blue, Curly.

I'll give you $25 for him.

Sold. Aunt Eller,
that makes the bid 35.

Curly, you're crazy.

But it's all for the schoolhouse,
ain't it?

- Going for 35...
- Hold on. Hold on now.

I ain't finished bidding yet.

You just sold everything
you got in the world, ain't you?

You can't sell your clothes
'cause they ain't worth nothin'.

You can't sell your gun
'cause you're gonna need it.

Yes, sir,
you're gonna need it bad.

Well, I'm just as good
as Curly at gettin' what I want.

I'm gonna bid everything
I got in the world.

Forty-two dollars and 31 cents.

[ Crowd Gasps ]

Anybody want to buy a gun?

I bought it brand-new
last Thanksgiving.

- It's worth a lot.
- Curly...

Give you 18 for it, Curly.

Sold.

Aunt Eller, that makes
my bid $53.

- Anybody going any higher?
- Sold!

[ Laughter ]

Going, going, gone.

What's the matter with you folks?
Ain't nobody gonna cheer or nothin'?

[ Cheering ]

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Now, come on, you two.

Shake hands.

That's better.

- Curly?
- What?

Could I show you something?

Excuse us, Laurey?

You ever see one of these?

Just what is it?

It's something special.

[ Whispering ]

You take it and then you hold it
up to your eye like that.

- Curly! Curly! What you doing?
- Nothin'.

What do you want
to squeal at a fella like that for?

You scared the livin' lights
out of me.

Well, then stop lookin'
at them old French pictures.

And ask me for a dance.
You brung me to the party, didn't you?

All right, all right,
I'll dance with you, you silly old woman.

Sam, pick that banjo
to pieces.

[ Band Plays ]

Now that I got that $50,
you name the day.

- August 15.
- Why August 15?

'Cause that was the first day
I was kissed.

Was it?
I didn't remember that.

You wasn't there.

Now, lookee here.
We gotta have a serious talk.

Now that you're engaged to me,
you gotta stop havin' fun.

I mean, with other fellas.

You'll have to be
a little more standoffish

When fellers offer you
a buggy ride

I'll give a imitation
of a crawfish

And dig myself a hole
where I can hide

I heared how you was
kickin' up some capers

When I was off in Kansas City, Mo.

No!

I heared some things
you couldn't print in papers

From fellers who been talkin'
like they know

Foot!

I only did the kind
of things I oughta, sorta

To you I was as faithful
as can be, for me

Them stories 'bout the way
I lost my bloomers, rumors

A lot of tempest
in a pot of tea

The whole thing
don't sound very good to me

Well, you see...

I go and sow my last wild oat

I cut out all shenanigans

I save my money
don't gamble or drink

In a back room
down at Flannigan's

I give up lots of other things

That a gentleman
never mentions

Before I give up any more
I wanna know your intentions

With me it's all or nothin'

Is it all or nothin' with you

It can't be in between

It can't be now and then

No half-and-half romance will do

I'm a one-woman man
home-lovin' type

All complete
with slippers and pipe

Take me like I am
or leave me be

If you can't give me all
give me nothin'

And nothin's what
you'll get from me

Not even somethin'?

Nothing's what you'll
get from me

It can't be in between?

Uh-uh.

It can't be now and then?

No half-and-half romance will do

Would you build me a house
all painted white?

Cute and clean
and pretty and bright?

Big enough for two
but not for three

Supposing that we should
have a third one?

He better look a lot like me

The spittin' image

He better look a lot like me

With you it's all or nothin'

All for you and nothin' for me

But if a wife is wise

She's gotta realize

That men like you
are wild and free

So I ain't gonna fuss
ain't gonna frown

Have your fun
Go out on the town

Stay up late and don't come home
till 3:00

And go right off to sleep
if you're sleepy

No use waitin' up for me

Aw, Ado Annie

No use waitin' up for me

Come on and kiss me

[ Chattering, Laughing ]

Why'd you drive off
and leave me like that for?

Like I said, didn't want to be late
for the party.

You didn't want to be with me, you mean,
not a minute more than you had to.

I'm with you now, ain't I?

I ain't good enough for you, am I?
I'm a hired hand.

I got dirt on my hands. Pig slime.
I ain't fit to touch you.

You're better.
You're so much better, Miss Laurey.

We'll see who's better, then you won't be
so free and easy with your highfalutin airs.

- Ooh, you're such a fine lady!
- Are you makin' threats to me?

Are you trying to tell me if I don't allow you
to slobber over me like a hog,

why, you're gonna do
something about it?

You ain't a hired hand for me no more.
You can just pack up your duds and scoot.

Don't you as much as set foot inside
the pasture gate

or I'll sic the dogs on to you!

[ Whimpers ]

You said your say.

You brought it on yourself.

I can't help it.
I can't never rest.

I told you how it was.

And you wouldn't listen.

You ain't never gonna
get rid of me. Never.

Hey, Laurey,
have you seen Annie?

- She's gone again.
- Will, will you do something for me?

Will you find Curly
and tell him I'm here?

I wanna see Curly awful bad.
I gotta see him.

Why don't you turn around and look,
you crazy woman?

Curly! [ Crying ]

Well, you found yours.
I'm still lookin' for mine.

What on earth is ailing
the belle of Claremore?

By gum, if you ain't cryin'.

Oh, Curly, I'm afraid,
afraid for my life.

- Jumpin' toadstools.
- Don't you leave me!

- Gosh a-mighty.
- Don't mind me cryin'.

I can't help it. [ Crying Continues ]

- You can cry your eyes out.
- I don't know what to do.

Well, here.
I'll show ya.

That's about all a man can stand in public.
You go away from me, you.

You don't like me, Curly?

Like you? You get away from me, I tell ya.
Plumb away from me.

Curly, you're sittin'
on the stove!

[ Shouts ]

It's cold as a hunk of ice.

Wished it had burned
a hole in your pants.

- Oh, you do, do ya?
- You heared me.

Now, look, Laurey,
you stand right there where you at,

and I'll sit right over here.

Now, you can tell me
what you wanted with me.

Well, Jud was here.
He scared me.

He talked wild, and he threatened me,
so I... I fired him.

Oh, I wished I hadn't.
There ain't no tellin' what he might do now.

You fired him?

Well, then,
that's all there is to it.

I'll stay in the place myself tonight,
if you're nervous about that hound dog.

Look, you quit your worryin',
or I'll spank you.

Hey,

while I think of it,

how about marrying me?

Gracious.

What'd I wanna marry you for?

Well, couldn't you maybe think
of some reason why you might?

I can't think of nothin'
right now, hardly.

Laurey,

please, ma'am, marry me?

I don't know what I'm
gonna do if you don't.

Curly, why, I'll marry ya
if you want me to.

I'll be the happiest man alive
as soon as we're married.

Well, I gotta learn to be a farmer.
I can see that.

Quit thinkin' about
throwin' that rope

and start gettin' my hands
blistered a new way.

Things is changin',
Laurey, right and left.

Buy up mowin' machines
and cut down prairies,

shoe your horses
and drag them plows under the sod.

They gonna make a state out of this.
They're gonna put it in the Union.

Country's a-changin'.
I gotta change with it.

- We'll bring up a pair of boys.
- Curly!

Well, new stock to keep up with

the way things is goin'
in this here crazy country.

Now I got you to help me,
I'll amount to somethin' yet.

I remember the first time
I ever see'd ya.

It was at the fair, and you was ridin'
that gray filly of Blue Stars.

I says, "Who's that skinny little thing
with the bang on her forehead?"

Yeah, I remember.
And you was ridin' broncs that day.

- That's right.
- And one of 'em throwed ya.

Yeah. It did not throw me.

- Guess ya jumped off then.
- Why, sure I jumped off.

Yeah, you sure did.

[ Shouts ] Hey, if there's anybody out and
around this shout who can hear my voice,

I want 'em to know
that Laurey Williams is my girl!

- Curly!
- Ha-ha!

And she went
and got me to ask her to marry me.

- They'll hear you all the way to Catoosy.
- Let 'em.

Let people say we're in love

Who keers what happens now

Just keep your hand in mine

Your hand feels so grand in mine

Let people say we're in love

Starlight looks well on us

Let the stars beam from above

Who keers if they tell on us

Let people say

We're in love

Well, I'll say good-bye here, baby.

Time for the lonely gypsy
to get back to the open road.

I wished I was goin'.
Then you wouldn't be so lonely.

Look, Annie, there is a man who loves you
like nothing never loved nobody.

That's the man for you,
Will Parker.

Oh, yeah. Well, I like Will a lot.

Oh, he's a fine fellow.
He's strong like an ox.

- He's young, handsome.
- Oh, I love him, all right, I guess.

Of course you do.
And you love those clear blue eyes of his,

and the way his mouth
wrinklies up when he smiles.

Do you love him too?

I love him because he will
make my Ado Annie happy.

Oh.

Good-bye, baby.

I will show you
how we say good-bye in Persia.

That was good-bye?

We have an old song
in Persia. It says...

One good-bye is never enough

Hello, Will.
Ali Hakim's saying good-bye.

Ah, Will, I wanna say
good-bye to you too.

No, you don't.
I just saw the last one.

Be good to her, Will,
and you be good to him, baby.

- Friend of the family.
- Did you say you was goin'?

I show you how we say
good-bye in my country.

Friend of the family.

Lucky fellow. I wish it was me
she was marrying instead of you.

It don't seem
to make much difference.

Well, back to the open road,
the lonely gypsy!

Giddyap, boys! [ Shouting ]

You ain't gonna think
of that old peddler-man anymore, are ya?

Of course not.
I never think of no one less'n he's with me.

Then I'll never leave your side.

Well, even if you never go away,
can't you once in awhile

give me one of them
Persian good-byes?

Persian good-bye? Why, that ain't
nothin' compared to Oklahoma hello.

Hello, Will!

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

[ Cattle Lowing ]

[ Men Whooping ]

[ Whistling ]

- Sleepin' in the saddle?
- Worse than that.

I got to thinkin'.
Last time for me, Mr. Skidmore.

No more roundups.
Not no more.

Think you're gonna like
being a farmer?

If Laurey can marry
a good-for-nothing cowhand

without a red cent in his pocket,
I gotta love farmin'.

I reckon you'll make
a good husband.

Can't figure about the farmin' though.
Don't like farmin'. Never did.

That ain't gonna keep you
from the weddin', is it?

Wouldn't miss it for anything.

After all, the farmer and the cowman
should be friends.

With this ring, I thee wed.

I pronounce you man and wife.

[ Chattering, Laughing ]

[ Chattering, Laughing Continue ]

Let's give three cheers
for the happy couple!

- Hip, hip! Hip, hip!
- Hooray! Hooray!

- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!

They couldn't pick a better time
to start in life

It ain't too early
and it ain't too late

Startin' as a farmer
with a brand-new wife

Soon be livin'
in a brand-new state

Brand-new state

Gonna treat you great

Gonna give you barley
carrots and potatoes

- Pasture for the cattle
- Spinach and tomatoes

Flowers on the prairie
where the june bugs zoom

Plenty of air
and plenty of room

Plenty of room
to swing a rope

Plenty of heart
and plenty of hope

[ Women Squealing ]

Oklahoma

And the wavin' wheat

When the wind comes

Oklahoma

Every night

Makin' lazy circles in the sky

We know we belong to the land

Say, you better hurry and get in
that other dress. We gotta get goin'.

You hurry and pack your own duds
and lean on over my...

[ Laughter ]

[ Guests Chattering ]

Everybody... You girls skedaddle.

[ Shouts Of Protest ]

I wanna go, Pa.

All right for you, Wilbur.
You're too young to go too.

What you gonna do, Pa,
give Laurey and Curly a shivaree?

- That's right.
- I wished you wouldn't.

It's a good, old-fashioned
custom never hurt nobody.

Wait a minute. You ladies
just stay where you won't be in the way.

Vamoose! Go on! Scat!

Seems like there's times when men
ain't got no need for women.

There's times when women
ain't got no need for men.

Yeah, but who wants to be dead?

[ Gertie Cackling ]

- Thought you's in Bushyhead.
- Just come from there.

Too bad you missed
Laurey's weddin'.

- I've been havin' one of my own.
- [ Gasping, Chattering ]

Lands, who'd you marry?
Where is he?

- There he is.
- Oh. Is that him?

[ Gertie ] That's him.

Hello, Ado Annie.

- [ Gertie ] Did you see my ring, girls?
- [ Women Gasping ]

- How long you been married?
- Four days.

[ Cackling ]

Four days with that laugh should count
like a golden wedding.

But if you married her,
you must have wanted to.

Oh, sure, I wanted to.

I wanted to marry her
when I saw the moonlight

shining on the barrel
of her father's shotgun.

I thought it would be better to be alive.

[ Cackles ]

Now I ain't so sure.

Hey, Will,
did you hear the news?

Gertie married the peddler.

Well, mighty glad
to hear that, peddler-man.

I think I oughta kiss the bride.

Oh. A friend of the family, remember?

Hey, Gertie, you ever
had an Oklahoma hello?

- [ Muffled Shout ]
- [ Women Gasping ]

[ Screams ] No, you don't!

[ Women Shouting ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

- Annie!
- Hey, hey, hey! What you doing?

I'm gonna keep Ado Annie
from killin' your wife.

Mind your own business.

- [ Cloth Ripping ]
- [ Screams ]

[ Bells Jingling ]

Shh! Shh! Somebody'll hear ya.

They ain't listening to
anybody but theirselves.

[ Laughter ]

Shh! Shh!

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Whispering ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughter, Whooping ]

Go on out of here,
you bunch of pig stealers!

Why don't you go on back home
where you belong?

[ Men Shouting ]

[ Men Whooping ]

Up the ladder with ya,
you pretty thing!

- Put your foot in the right place, boy!
- Go on, Mr. Bridegroom.

We don't want you to
fall and break your neck.

You'll upset Curly something fierce.

[ Laughing ]

Go on, Mr. Bridegroom,
there's your bride.

Up you go, cowpuncher.

[ All Shouting ]

- [ Pans Clanging ]
- [ Men Whooping ]

[ Man ] Maybe we'll let you down
in time to catch your train!

Hey, Laurey,
here's a girl baby for ya!

[ Laughter ]

And a baby boy!

Fire! Haystack's a-fire!

Get some water from the trough!

[ Men Shouting ]

Curly, Curly,
I got a present for ya!

I didn't get to kiss the bride,
but I got a present for you!

[ Laurey Screams ]

There's a present for you! Huh?

Come on! Come on!

Ike! Slim! Quick!

[ Screams ]

- What'd you do to him?
- I knowed this was gonna happen.

They've been feudin' for a long time.

[ Chattering ]

- What happened?
- He fell on his own knife.

- Stuck clean through the ribs.
- He's still breathing, ain't he?

Get back, some of ya,
and let me look at him.

- Of course.
- Get back.

Can't do nothing here.
Better get him to a doctor.

Some of you carry him over to my rig.
We'll take him to Doc Tyler's.

I don't see why
this had to happen,

just when everything was so fine.

Don't let your mind run on it.

I can't forget it, I tell you.
I never will.

Don't try, honey.

You got to get used to havin' all kinds
of things happenin' to you.

You got to look at
all the good on one side,

and all the bad
on the other side,

and say, "Well, all right then,"
to both of them.

Lots of things
happen to a woman,

sickness or being poor
and hungry even,

being left alone in your old age,

being afeared to die,

and you can stand it.

There's one way.

You gotta be hardy.
Ya gotta be!

Oh, I wished I was the way you are.

Oh, fiddlesticks! Scrawny and old?

You couldn't hire me
to be the way I am.

Oh, what'd I do without you?
You're such a crazy. [ Crying ]

Sure as you're born.

[ Door Opens ]

Jud's over to Doc Tyler's.
They'll take care of everything.

Is he alive?

[ Murmuring ]

Laurey, honey, Cord Elam here,
he being federal marshal and all,

thinks I oughta give myself up,
and right now.

Oh, no!

Their train leaves Claremore in less than
an hour. It's their honeymoon.

The best thing is for Curly
to go of his own accord and tell the judge.

- Why, you're the judge, ain't you, Andrew?
- Yeah.

Then tell him now
and get it over with.

It wouldn't be proper.
It's gotta be done in court.

Oh, fiddlesticks.
Let's do it here and say we done it in court.

- Can't do that. That's breakin' the law.
- Let's not break the law.

Let's just bend it a little.

[ Laughter ]

Come on, Andrew.
Start the trial.

We ain't got but a few minutes.

- Andrew, I got to protest.
- Aw, shut your trap.

We can give the boy a fair trial
without lockin' him up on his honeymoon.

- [ All Agreeing ]
- All right.

Now, here's the long
and the short of it.

What's your plea?
That means, why'd you do it?

Well, Jud's been pesterin' Laurey.

- And I always swore...
- Just a minute. Just a minute.

Don't let your tongue
wobble around in your head like that.

Listen to my question.

What happened last night
that made you kill him?

Why, he tried to burn us to death,
and he come at me with a knife.

- And you had to defend yourself, didn't ya?
- Yes. Furthermore...

Never mind the "furthermores."

- The plea is self-defense.
- [ Chattering ]

Now, wait a minute. Order.

- Is there a witness...
- [ Chattering Loudly ]

Wait a minute.
That seen it happen?

- Absolutely.
- All right. Order.

I feel funny about it.
I feel funny.

You'll feel funny when I tell your wife
you're carrying on with another woman.

I ain't carrying on with no one!

Maybe not, but you'll sure feel funny
when I tell your wife you are.

Laugh all you like,
but as a federal marshal...

Aw, shut up about being
federal marshal.

If we get to be a state,
we're gonna elect ourselves a sheriff.

If you don't keep your mouth shut,
ain't nobody gonna vote for ya.

- Come on!
- Yeah, let's get movin'

and get the happy couple on the train!

- This here's honeymoon time!
- Wait a minute! I ain't said the verdict yet.

- Well, the verdict's not guilty, ain't it?
- 'Course, but I gotta say it.

- Then say it.
- [ Together ] Not guilty!

Court's adjourned!

[ Chattering ]

Why, Ado Annie, where you been?
You missed all the excitement.

Oh, no, we didn't.

- Hello, Will.
- [ Chuckles ]

Gotta get the young'uns on that train,
or they'll miss it.

Hey, there, bride and groom,

- Here we come!
- [ People Cheering ]

[ Cheering Continues ]

Oh, my crazy young'uns!

I don't know what
I'm gonna do without you!

Come on. Let's go. Bye.

[ Whooping ]

- [ Man ] Good luck, Curly!
- Bye!

Let's go!

Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day

I got a beautiful feeling

Everything's goin' my way

Oh, what a beautiful day
