There they are. Looks like we're just in time for dinner.

You think they'll take me?

Don't worry, they'll take you.

You just bat those big, blue eyes at the Major a couple of times.

They've got to take you, miss. Can't leave you to the Indians.

Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

There's the Major.

Come with me, Sergeant.

Howdy, Major.

How's the chow, Wooster?

Same as last Wednesday.

It's chow.

Sergeant Hood, this is Major Adams.

The Sergeant's from over at the fort, Major.

Howdy, Sergeant.

Major.

What can I do for you?

SERGEANT: I have a passenger for you.

Well, we're pretty full up right now, Sergeant.

This young lady was on a wagon train.

She got sick.

They dropped her off at the fort.

That was about a month ago.

Pretty as a calendar, isn't she?

I don't care much about taking a lone woman aboard,

especially one that looks like her.

We got trouble enough.

Couldn't hardly expect her to stay on at the fort.

The Colonel's dead right about that.

A bunch of saddle-rusty horse soldiers

with nothing but a few stray squaws to look at for months

is no place for a pretty girl.

Where's she going?

She wants to get to San Francisco.

Know anything else about her?

How much you need to know to give a girl a ride?

Well, Flint, what do you think? Should we take her with us?

I would.

Besides, you can't argue with the army, Major.

Not in this country.

I'll be back in a couple of days.

Oh, and Major... good luck.

Sergeant, what's this girl's name?

Sally Potter.

Colonel would sure be much obliged to you, Major.

Come on, Hawks, let's have a look.

Miss Potter, Major Adams.

Howdy, miss. How do you do?

Miss Potter, I'm wagon master of this outfit.

This here is a family train.

You know what that means?

Yes, sir.

A wagon train is just like a town on wheels,

only worse.

All these people here, they get dog tired

and hungry and thirsty,

and sometimes they don't know where they're heading

and when they're gonna get there.

And most of the time, they're scared and homesick.

Now, there's no churches along the way,

no judges, no jails to keep people civilized,

so almost anything can happen,

especially to a young, pretty girl like you.

You don't have to worry about me, Major.

I've been on my own since I was 13.

Well, I just wanted you to know what you're getting into.

I want no trouble of any kind.

Neither do I, Major Adams.

Look, I want to work.

I can cook, I can sew, I can do anything.

All right, Sally.

I guess you and I understand each other.

I know of a wagon where they can use someone to help out.

Thanks.

Say, Bill, bring Miss Potter's things.

All right, sir.

I'll get it, Bill. Looks a little heavy for you.

Hawks!

Hawks!

Henry, this is Miss Sally Potter.

Henry Bennett.

Pleased to know you, ma'am.

How do you do, Mr. Bennett.

Miss Sally's gonna be traveling with our train.

I figured maybe you and the missus could use a little extra help,

so if you'll take her in your wagon,

I'm sure she'll be of use to you.

Well, we could sure use some extra help,

but work's gettin' kind of tough for Millie.

But, uh... well, I wish you'd talk to her, Major.

I mean, in her condition, she's kind of touchy,

and I know how she'd take to my bringing another woman onto the wagon.

Especially... I'm sure she can trust you, Henry.

Where is she?

Oh, she just went down to fetch some water.

How's Jimmy?

Not... not well.

I-I don't know. He just won't eat nothing.

Well, I'll go say hello to him.

Thanks, Major.

Hello, Henry. See you got some help, huh?

Hi, Jimmy, how you doing?

Fine, Major. How far now to California?

Well, we're a whole day closer, son.

I'm going to have my own horse when we get to California,

a pinto Indian pony.

My legs ought to be all right by then, don't you think?

Oh, sure. Your legs will be fine and dandy

long before we ever get to California.

But listen here, you've got to drink a lot of milk and eat plenty.

Oh, I'm not very hungry, Major.

Well, you eat just the same, so you get well real quick.

All right, Major.

Say, Bill,

maybe you'd better stay around here

and help square things away with his missus.

I'll go back and help Wooster with that trunk

that was too heavy for you to lift!

All right, Major.

Jimmy, this is Miss Potter.

JIMMY: What's your first name?

Sally.

Oh, hello, Millie.

'Lo, Bill.

How you feeling?

Jouncing bothers me some.

Well, the Major had a real good idea for you.

He thought you might use some extra help.

Is that the help?

Well, Millie, she's willing to work

for her room and board in the wagon.

We could take her, Ma.

Work? What kind of work could she do?

Well, she can do anything.

Maybe she could take care of me, huh, Ma?

She could at that, Millie.

Relieve you of a lot of trouble if she took care of Jimmy.

I can take care of my son.

Well, Henry here says you'll need some help yourself

before too much longer.

Henry said that?

Well, he hinted as such,

but if you don't want any more help,

we'll talk to somebody else.

Please, Ma.

I'd have someone to talk to, and...

and she's awful pretty.

Well, all right.

But she'll have to earn her keep,

no matter how pretty she is.

Well, looks like you've got yourself a job, Miss Sally.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Miss Sally Potter, Mrs. Bennett.

How do you do?

I'll fix you a place.

Thanks.

Well, the wagons are about ready to move,

so you'd best get yourself settled.

'Bye. 'Bye.

Nice to have you with us, ma'am.

Thanks, Mr. Bennett.

Would you like to come and ride with me?

Sure!

Ohh!

Major should have knowed better

than to take a girl like that on this wagon train.

Must have been out of his mind.

What's bothering you, Uncle Joe? She isn't hurtin' anything.

Somebody ought to tell that fool woman

to stop prancing around like that.

Better drop back a ways, Matt. You're gettin' too close.

You hear me?

I heard you.

Well, drop back a piece.

You want to drive?

It's about time you learned to drive yourself.

You know that team.

They're not used to skirts

flouncing around under their noses...

any more than you are.

You pull back a ways, you hear?

All you've done all afternoon

is stare at her like you've never seen a woman before.

You just listen to me.

Did I ever tell you anything that wasn't for your own good?

Why don't you quit your jawing? I'm past 20.

If I didn't take to jawing before, I'm not likely to now.

Ought to beat some sense into your head.

Here I've done everything in my power

to bring you up right ever since your ma and pa died,

and you've been nothing but stubborn and back-talkin'.

Did you ever see a grown woman could run like that?

By thunder, she's got no call to be

throwing herself around like that.

She knows right well you're looking at her.

Whoa! Look out!

Watch where you're going! Gimme them reins!

Easy.

Can you get her up?

I don't know. She's hurt. How bad?

Well... could be her leg's broke.

It's broke all right.

It's my fault. You didn't mean it.

I'm sorry.

Get me my pistol.

Hello.

Gee, I'm sorry about what happened today,

about your horse.

Don't you feel bad. It wasn't your fault.

Well, what's your uncle gonna do?

I don't know. He'll get over it.

Say, would you like to take a walk?

Maybe we could talk some.

Well, I-I don't want to get too far away from the wagon.

Jimmy's not too good tonight,

and he might wake up.

I-I want to listen for him.

Just a little ways.

We could sit there.

Don't you feel bad.

It wasn't your fault; it was mine.

I wasn't watching the horses.

I was watching you.

I was showing off, I guess.

For me?

Just for fun.

I never thought you so much as looked at me.

Well, I didn't, but I knew you were there.

And your uncle too.

Oh.

You were showing off for him.

No, but I knew he was there. That's all.

No, thank you.

Where you headed?

San Francisco. On the ocean.

I never seen an ocean before.

Where are you?

California, I guess.

Uncle Joe wants to get a farm somewheres.

It's got nothing to do with me.

The only thing I know for sure

is I'm not going where he goes.

He thinks he can boss me like he was my father.

Sometimes I could kill him.

Oh, Matt, you shouldn't say that.

I'm a grown man now. He can't tell me what to do.

Doesn't he have a wife?

He's too mean to get married. Too much in love with his money.

I don't want to talk about him.

Maybe I'll come to San Francisco too. Would you like that?

I'd like that.

But... But what?

Well, I don't think your uncle would like it.

Don't worry about him.

Sally... I been wanting to tell you...

What?

Well, I never saw any girl like you.

You're so friendly-pretty,

not so stuck-up pretty.

Oh.

I mean, a fellow isn't afraid to talk to you, like me.

I saw how nice you were with Jimmy Bennett.

There was times I wished I was Jimmy.

Oh, Matt,

Jimmy's a lot sicker than his folks know.

He's got you.

You smile at him and sing to him

and wash his face and put your hand on his head.

I watched you.

I-I guess I sound kind of funny.

No.

No, you sound kind of nice...

to me.

It's just... that I never knew any girl like you before.

Thought you was gonna see Major Adams

'bout another horse.

Well, I couldn't find him.

Well, you can't find him sitting here.

Anyhow, I been thinking.

We can't just leave that mare lying out there on the prairie.

She ought to be buried.

Buried?! Yes, buried!

We've had her for 15 years.

The least we can do is bury her.

You get a couple of shovels

and we'll go back and take care of her.

Just a minute.

Look, I'm sorry about the horse.

I don't have very much money...

It's not about the horse.

It's about the boy.

About Matt?

I'll thank you to leave him alone.

Leave him alone?

Don't think I haven't seen what's been going on.

Nothing's been going on.

Look, Mr. Trumbell, I don't want any trouble,

with you or your boy.

Then you stop your playing up to him.

"Playing up" to him?

What do you mean?

Why, I saw you,

pretending to be playing ball,

twisting and turning yourself so's a man

can't think of nothing else.

So you think I was doing that for Matt, huh?

Well, what makes you think I was doing that for him?

I was doing that for you.

Come on, folks. Keep 'em moving.

We don't have much farther to go now.

Come on, move 'em along.

If a body could have gotten some sleep last night...

All those mosquitoes.

They buzzed like buzzards, didn't they, Jimmy?

Do you think they have mosquitoes in California?

I don't know.

Shut your eyes. I'll keep them away.

Shut your eyes and pretend it's California.

I wonder if California's gonna be worth

all it takes to get there.

Oh, Millie.

How's everything here?

He's resting.

Well, that's good.

The rest of the train is dying on its feet.

This weather's worse than Indians.

Hey, you gonna walk to California, Mr. Bennett?

Anything to spare the mules in weather like this.

They got enough of a load.

I can't even spit!

The best thing to do is not even think about it.

Oh? You got a recipe for that?

Sure. Just think you were at the North Pole,

half frozen to death.

Oh! This heat would feel good!

Hmm!

Major...

these two fellows just rode in.

They want to see you.

All right.

Are you the wagon master?

That's right. Seth Adams.

I'm Cliff Billings. This is Chuck Dexter.

Howdy, Chuck.

We're headed for Nevada.

Kinda traveling light, ain't ya, for that distance?

Well, we're in a hurry to get there.

Want to get to Virginia City before the gold is all gone.

Gold, huh? You fellows don't look much like prospectors to me.

Well, digging's the hardest way there is of getting gold.

That's about the only way you'll get any around this train.

By the way, Major, we've been running into Indian parties hunting buffalo.

One of them kept taking potshots at us

for a couple of hours around noon today.

Well, I'm not surprised.

Buffalo herds are getting kind of scarce this year.

Some of the tribes are getting hot under the collar, too.

They blame the white man.

That's why we'd like to travel with you for a few days.

Guess that's all right.

We can probably use a couple of extra guns

in case those young bucks start getting any ideas.

You've got your own bedrolls and rations, I suppose.

Oh, yes, everything.

And if we can be useful in any way...

Thanks. I'll call on you if I need you.

As long as you abide by the rules of this train,

you're perfectly welcome. Just make yourselves at home.

Thanks, Major.

Come on, I'll show you around the camp.

Take their horses, Charlie. Yessir.

Jimmy wouldn't eat anything. Nothing at all.

It's been a terrible day.

You know, he feels awful hot to me,

and it's not just the weather. I know.

We never would have come if we'd known Jimmy was gonna get sick.

Oh, Millie, you couldn't know.

I know.

I'll go sit with him a while.

You go get some supper.

You'll find him down there in that second wagon.

Oh, Miss Sally,

this is Mr. Dexter and Mr. Billings.

Miss Sally Potter.

You should have seen that young lady this morning.

She had half of this train thinking

they were crossing the North Pole,

freezing to death!

How come she's on your wagon train, Major?

Well, same reason everybody else is, I reckon.

Folks just wanting to get from where they were

to someplace they could do better.

Any reason why she shouldn't do the same?

Oh, no, no.

I was just wondering how it happened, that's all.

It's easy once you get the hang of it, Sally.

Why, even 6-year-olds can knit.

Yeah. Trouble with me is I'm a lot older than 6.

Sally.

Go 'way.

What's the idea, giving me the cold shoulder?

Please go away.

Why? I just want to talk to you.

I can't talk here.

Let's go for a walk, then, huh?

No!

All right, we'll talk here.

Please, Cliff!

I-I don't want to be seen with you.

What's the matter with me all of a sudden?

What's the matter with you, Sally?

Look, they don't know anything about me on this train,

and I don't want them to find out.

Why not? What's so bad about you?

I've always liked you.

Please, Cliff,

just don't let on you know me.

Now, don't be silly.

Who cares what these farmers think?

Don't. Please, don't.

Don't! Cliff, please!

Please! Cliff!

Matt! Matt, please, it's all right. Just leave him.

I ought to beat the daylights out of him!

He didn't mean any harm.

I don't want to cause any trouble. Come on, please.

What's the matter, mister?

Are the people on this wagon train out of their minds?

Some fool took a punch at me. You know who it was?

A young fellow. I guess he thought the girl belongs to him.

What girl?

Sally Potter.

You know her?

Sure I know her.

She used to be, uh... an entertainer on a riverboat

between St. Louis and New Orleans.

Yeah. I know her.

Well, what did you talk to him for?

I didn't want to.

Well, the next time something like that happens, you just yell.

I won't be far away.

You don't have to worry about me, Matt.

I can take care of myself.

Huh. Not as good as I can.

Matt...

I don't want anything to happen.

Sure.

I-I just want everything to be peaceful and quiet.

What are you afraid of, Sally?

What you doing out here?

Get on back to the wagon. Do like I tell you!

Look... Come on, Matt.

Please.

What'd you do that for?

Was he trying to...?

No, he wasn't!

Oh.

Maybe I shouldn't have...

Well, now, look here.

I been thinking everything over.

I been watching you.

I know, Mr. Trumbell, I've seen you.

I don't think you understand about me.

I'm not just a boy out for a little fun.

W-what I mean is, well, I know I'm a lot older than you are...

What do you mean, Mr. Trumbell?

I got something to offer you, Sally.

Back in Pennsylvania, I had my own blacksmith shop,

and I didn't owe anybody a penny.

Not that I'm bragging to you, Sally. I wouldn't want to do that.

You don't have to brag, Mr. Trumbell.

Why don't you call me Joe?

All right. Joe.

Well, anyhow, I...

I sold that shop for a pretty good chunk of money.

Now I'm on my way to California

to buy a little ranch.

Fruit ranch in a valley, with lots of sunshine.

Peaches, grapes, pears. Apples, even.

Sounds wonderful. Well, 'tis.

'Cept as things stand now,

it's gonna be kind of lonesome.

You got Matt.

Matt? No!

He's already told me he's striking out on his own.

No, he don't want to stay with me.

His ma and pa died when he was a baby, and...

oh, I done my best, but...

I'm afraid I'm kind of a failure with Matt.

I don't think you're a failure, Joe.

Well...

I don't want to talk about Matt.

I want to talk about us.

What about us?

I've got enough to take care of you, Sally.

I could give you things. Almost anything.

You asking me to marry you, Joe?

Yes, Sally.

Maybe even before we get to California.

B-but you don't know anything about me.

I know about you.

I know all about you, and I don't care.

We'll start a new life, a new home.

Both of us.

Thank you, Joe. Please, Sally.

All the rest of my life, I'll make things good for you.

No one's ever said that to me before.

Sally...

everything I've got will be yours.

A little ranch with fruit trees on it,

and a house with...

With yellow curtains blowing at the window.

And a man like you to take care of me.

W-what's the matter?

Why you back down?

W-well...

it wouldn't be fair to you, Joe.

Now, don't say no, Sally.

Maybe if you'd just think about it.

All right. I'll think about it.

Just promise me that you'll think about it.

I promise, Joe.

I-I'll think about it.

I'm tempted.

I'm real tempted.

But please go now, Joe.

Please. Please.

Please go.

Please, Joe.

Why didn't you go to bed?

I been waitin' up for you.

The next time you treat me like that,

I'll kill you.

I don't care if you are my uncle. I'll kill you.

Major Adams.

Major Adams.

Could you stop the wagons?

What's the trouble, Sally?

It's Jimmy. He's awfully weak.

Oh?

The bumping of the wagon shakes him terribly.

If we could stop until...

Sally, this is right in the middle of Indian country.

For the sake of the folks on the train,

we can't... we can't stop now.

We've got to get through here as quick as we can.

Major, if you could look at the boy,

if you could see for yourself.

Well, the Bennetts have a mind

to stop their wagon and stay behind,

just to give the boy a little comfort.

Oh? What about you?

I'd stay with them.

You know, I believe you would at that.

Well, Sally, this is pretty early for us to make camp, but...

I guess we can make up the time tomorrow.

People are getting pretty tired anyhow.

There's a little creek right up ahead.

We'll stop there. Thanks, Major.

Oh, Sally... Hmm?

Has that fellow Billings been bothering you?

No, he hasn't bothered me.

Good.

Well, you tell the Bennetts that we'll stop

as soon as we get to that creek. Won't be long.

Thanks a lot, Major.

Well... here you are.

Don't worry.

I'm not likely to get too close to you this time.

Why do you want to make trouble for me, Cliff?

I don't want to make trouble for you.

I was delighted to see you.

Why wouldn't I be?

You used to be gay and charming.

Look, I'd like to forget that now.

Silly girl.

These farmers don't appreciate you.

They never will.

Please, Cliff.

You're wasting yourself here,

and what's more, you won't make the grade with them.

They don't have any use for you.

Look, Cliff, what are you telling me all this for, huh?

Look, I'm leaving the wagon train at daylight tomorrow.

I'm going to open a casino in Nevada...

Virginia City or Austin.

They're coining money.

I know.

I'm inviting you to join us.

There's money in it for you too, Sally.

A good partnership arrangement, strictly business...

if that's the way you want it.

Thanks.

What's the matter with you, honey?

Do you forget how it used to be?

Everybody looking at you,

and the sound of cards and money

and the piano in the corner.

Where's your ambition?

You'd laugh, I guess,

if I told you what my ambition was.

I don't know.

Maybe you'd have a right to laugh.

I'm thinking of getting married.

Not to one of these yokels. Mm-hmm.

Can't be that young fool who gave me trouble the other night.

No, not him.

No, I'm going to marry somebody who's going to give me everything I never had...

A home, and money,

and respect.

Do you, uh, love him?

What's that got to do with it?

What's love got to do with anything that ever happened to me?

Look, Sally, I like you. I always have.

If you change your mind before morning,

let me know.

Here, let me carry that.

You don't have to do that!

Yes, I do.

Been looking all over for you.

Didn't think you'd be washing clothes.

I got something for you.

For me?

Yeah.

One thing a wagon train hasn't got

is a jewelry store.

I made it myself.

You made this for me?

Them's $5 gold pieces.

Oh, Joe!

Well... go on. Put it on.

I don't want you to think I'm giving it to you

to make you say you'll marry me.

I'm giving it to you 'cause I want to.

It's awful pretty, Joe, but...

There's no strings attached.

I'll just be proud to think of you wearing it.

Thank you, Joe.

I'm proud to.

I'm not trying to rush you, Sally. I can wait.

I been waiting. A long time.

What you doing out here?

What do you think I'm doing?

Now, you keep a decent tongue in your head, boy.

All right. I'm sitting here.

I'm sitting on a barrel. Is that all right?

All right.

They're talking California ranching over by the south wagons.

Well, go ahead. Go and talk with 'em.

Why don't you come along?

No, thanks. Why not?

Because I don't want to, that's why.

Boy, you're still wet behind the ears...

More full of sass than sense.

Sally!

How is he?

Look, you haven't had any supper.

He-he doesn't know me anymore.

Millie wants to be alone with him.

Look, don't feel like this.

Come on, let's take a walk.

Seems like I never get a chance to be alone with you.

They might need me.

We won't go far.

Just where we can be alone.

Just for a minute, then.

Sally, you've got to stop worrying about Jimmy

and start thinking of yourself.

You're not getting enough rest.

I'll be all right.

What's that?

That looks like the thing Uncle Joe was making.

He wouldn't tell me what it was.

He gave it to you?

Yes.

Now, I'm just trying to get this through my head.

He made that, and he gave it to you. How come?

What does it matter?

Why did he give it to you? What for?

He just wanted me to have it, that's all.

That's all there was to it. He just wanted me to have it.

I'm sorry.

I wish I had something to give you.

I don't blame him.

I got nothing.

You don't have to give me anything, Matt.

Well, I want to.

And I'll get out on my own,

and I'll make enough to give you lots of things.

That's what I want.

I'd whip the world for you.

Oh, Matt.

Matt.

Nobody ever kissed me like that.

Nor me.

Oh, Sally, do you mean it?

Do I mean what? Will you marry me?

Oh, you...

You don't want to marry somebody you don't know anything about!

I know, I'm plum out of my head for you.

I have been ever since the first time I saw you.

Oh, but you don't know what you're saying.

I think you must be something like what my mother was...

Beautiful, and kind of pure.

I always hoped someday I'd meet somebody like that.

I never thought it would be right on this wagon train, in the next wagon.

You don't know what you're saying.

You're wrong about me.

Why?

Y-you don't love somebody else, do you?

N-no.

I've never loved anyone else.

You've got to believe that.

Well, then, why do you hold me off?

You think I'm like your mother.

I'm not like your mother.

I've got to tell you...

there have been... other men.

Other... men?

Ohh! Jimmy!

Millie!

Millie!

Please, please, Millie, dear.

Don't. Please, please.

It's Jimmy.

Oh, Sally!

We'll remember you, Jimmy,

and when we come to the end of this journey

and we look out upon the green grass

and the blue sky

and the ocean and the mountains,

we'll think of you,

and we'll remember how eager you were to get there...

So eager

I'd like to think now

that you just couldn't wait.

ALL: Amen.

You know where Matt is?

No, I don't.

Didn't even have the decency to come to the boy's funeral.

It wasn't that, Joe.

It wasn't.

Joe.

Joe!

Joe.

Joe, I have to talk to you.

What's the matter, Sally?

Well, it isn't easy to tell you.

I started out leading you on, 'cause I was mad at you

'cause you told me to stay away from Matt.

I was fooling you.

Fooling me?

And then when you...

You asked me to marry you, and you promised me all those things...

Yeah?

I was just about ready to.

But I can't.

I'd like all those things...

but I can't marry you to get them,

and I sh-shouldn't have led you on.

I don't love you, Joe.

I couldn't ever love you.

Well, how do you know you couldn't ever love me?

Because I love Matt.

Here's your bracelet back, Joe.

So you was playin' me for a sucker.

All right, keep it.

You earned it.

Sally.

Sally.

Oh, Sally, I've been a fool.

I know it.

What you told me doesn't matter.

Nothing matters.

Oh, Matt.

I've never loved anyone before.

You've got to believe that.

But there's things I've got to tell you.

We've got the rest of our lives to talk.

Right now I just want to believe you're here.

I never had any luck before, Sally.

I gotta get used to it.

Matt, you've got to listen to me.

Not tonight.

I got everything straight now.

Tonight you listen to me.

Matt, you... you don't know what you're saying.

Sally, don't you see?

We'll be living in a brand-new world,

where a man's free to make what he can out of his life.

The past is dead.

Oh, Matt.

Matt.

Right now we're gonna walk up to the top of that hill,

and we're gonna take a look at a shiny new world,

and I'm not listening to nothing.

Where you been all night?

Why?

I'm askin' ya.

Well, I'm not tellin' ya.

You don't have to tell me.

You's out with Sally Potter.

Right the first time.

What are you doing, staying out all night with her like this?

Well, it's none of your business,

but I don't mind telling you.

I'm going to marry her.

Marry her?!

That's what I said.

Why... you can't marry her!

Well, I'm gonna, and you can't stop me.

Now, look here, Matt.

You're still a boy,

got himself messed up with the first woman that's come along,

and I want you to have something better than her.

You don't know nothing about this woman,

but I can tell you, she'll never make you happy.

She'll break your heart.

And you'll never make her happy,

'cause she's nothing but a no-good cheat.

Matt, boy!

Don't be a young fool!

She's not a good woman!

I think I've grown up.

Maybe it took somebody like Sally to help me.

By thunder, you been spoilin' for a fight.

Matt!

Matt! Joe!

Joe! Stop it!

Don't! Will you stop it!

Major!

Major!

Major Adams!

Major Adams! Major Adams!

What's the matter, Sally? I'm sorry.

It's Matt and Joe. They're fighting.

One of them is going to be killed. You've got to stop them.

I'll stop 'em.

Cut this out!

Let go of him!

Come on, cut it out!

Young fool! You're both fools!

You shouldn't fight with your uncle!

You don't know what he said. It doesn't matter. You shouldn't fight with him.

I asked you once. Now what's this all about?

You tell him, Uncle Joe. It's your idea.

MAJOR ADAMS: Sally.

I want to talk to you.

I found out what those two were fightin' about.

Near as I could figure out,

they'd both been plannin' on marryin' you.

I'm awfully sorry, Major. I'm terribly sorry.

Sally, you promised me that if I let you come on this train

you'd cause me no trouble.

I know, I...

There won't be any more, I promise.

Looked to me like they were trying to kill each other.

There won't. I guarantee there won't.

There won't be any more trouble.

I'm leaving the train this morning with Billings.

Sally...

you don't have to do that. You know that.

Yes, I do.

If I stayed any longer, I'd never want to leave.

What's the matter, Sal? Thinkin' about your farmer?

I'm trying not to.

Look, Sal, those clodhoppers aren't for you.

Do you want to end up milking cows and changing diapers?

Yes. That's just what I want.

I want to tell you...

I'm sorry about what I did last night.

Are you, Matt?

That's what I said. I'm sorry.

First time I ever heard anything like that from you.

I'm sorry for what I said about Sally.

I guess I didn't know you loved her.

About Sally, Uncle Joe,

I do know all about her,

and I hope you like her, 'cause I'm still fixing to marry her.

I like her. You can tell her for me.

Come on, folks. Let's get moving.

We're wasting time here. Come on.

Can't stay here all day.

Say, Major.

You wouldn't know where Sally is, would you?

Well, not exactly, no.

I've been looking all over the camp for her.

Nobody's seen her.

That's not too surprising, Matt.

Sally's left the train.

Left the train?!

That's right.

She pulled out with that fellow Billings

and his friend this morning.

Said something about they were going to take her into a partnership.

They were in a hurry to get to Nevada,

so we were a little too slow for 'em.

Oh, uh...

she asked me to tell you

it was a real good business opportunity for her.

Said to say goodbye to your uncle.

She's sorry for the trouble she caused you.

What's the matter, boy?

She's gone. Gone? Where?

She left this morning with Billings.

Left with Billings?

She said it was a good business opportunity.

She's sorry she caused so much trouble.

That all?

That's all.

I would have sworn she loved me.

Son, you sure got a lot to learn about women.

Can't you see this proves she loves you?

"Didn't want to cause you any trouble"...

You know what I'd do if I was you?

What do you mean?

Get up there on your horse and get after her.

Bring her back or keep gone.

If you know a woman loves you, and you love her,

don't let nothing stop you. Nothing.

Besides, suppose she did cause a little trouble?

What's a woman for if not to cause some trouble?

Good luck, son.

Come on, folks, hurry it up!

You're slowing down!

Remember what Sally Potter said?

This train's crossing the North Pole!

Hey, Bill.

Now there's a pair that don't give a gall-darn

whether they freeze to death or die from the heat.
