[Dog barking]

[Door bells jangle]

That's a little over
10 pounds.

How much is beaver
worth this year?

$6.00 a pound.

Well, I'll trade you
for a new plow,

two tubs of lard,

a barrel
of molasses,

25 pounds
of chewing tobacco...

And you wouldn't have a wife
under the counter there?

I'm looking for a wife.

Any special brand?

Well, yes. I'd like best
a widow woman

that ain't afraid
to work.

There's 7 of us men,
me and my 6 brothers.

The place is like a pigsty.
The food tastes worse.

So I made up my mind.

Next time I come
into town to trade

I'm gonna bring me back a wife.

Well, that's a fine thing
I must say,

thinking you can come here
and trade for a wife

like she was
a bag of meal.

Oh, no, ma'am.
I wouldn't say that, ma'am.

Let me tell you,

none of our gals
is going to go off

with you
to bear country

to cook and clean

for 7 slumocky
backwoodsmen.

There's 10 men
for every woman out here.

If you want a wife, you'll have
to go back east and get one.

You mean, there's no unmarried
females in this town?

[Door bells jangle]

Good morning,
Mrs. Bixby.

We're having a quilting bee.

We thought you might
have some odds and ends.

Mrs. Bixby:
I'll see.

- How about these?
- Now, just a minute.

What's the matter?
They married?

They're spoken for.

Oh, just spoken for.
You had me scared.

I tell you,
they're promised.

Oh, a lady can change
her mind, can't she?

Pay no heed, girls.

Fred, put his things in the
wagon. Don't keep him waiting.

Oh, I'm in no hurry.
I got all afternoon.

You're wasting
your time.

You won't find a girl
in this town to marry you.

Never set my mind to something
yet for what I got.

Whether it's plowing
20 acres in a day

or dropping a tree within
an inch of where I want it.

I'm here today
to get me a wife.

I don't aim to go
back home empty-handed.

You're all pretty,
fresh, and young.

I'll keep you
in mind.

But I ain't deciding
on nothing

until I look them
all over.

- Milly, Milly, let's eat.
- Yeah, let's eat.

Come on.
I'm dying of hunger.

You'll all eat now, don't fret.
Just give me time.

Ah, nobody can cook
like Milly, huh?

When you gonna marry me, Milly?

Oh, next week, Sam.

She's gonna marry me,
ain't ya, Milly?

What would
your wife say, Tom?

Anything you'd like?

Could be, but first,

I think I'd better sample
that cooking.

- Oh, oh, oh!
- Oh, Harry!

Oh, I am sorry.

That's all right,
Milly.

Awfully sorry.

That smells
good enough to eat.

Tastes good, too,
so they tell me.

Got any ketchup handy?

My stew can stand
on its own feet.

Good?

Good.

[Moo]

My name's
Adam Pontipee.

Odd name, I must say.

I live up the mountain.
I got a farm up there.

Have you?

Good farm
and a house on it.

There's timberland,

high grazing
meadows,

sheep, milk cows,
50 acres of wheat.

Only thing it ain't got.
It ain't got a woman.

How about it?

How about what?

I just told you.

How about
marrying me?

[Continues milking cow]

Oh, I know it's kind
of short notice.

Back east,
we would have met

on a Sunday
leaving church.

Six months later,
I would have asked you,

could I
walk you home?

Next 2, 3 years,
I would have set

in your front parlor
every Wednesday night.

And finally, I would ask your
father. Could I marry you?

But here,
there's not time.

I've got to be home tonight
to tend to my stock.

It'll be another 5 months before
I get down again with my grain.

You going to keep me
waiting all that 5 months

just for your pride?

I'd have to finish
my chores.

I knew it the minute
I set eyes on you.

You're the gal
for me.

I'll go get cleaned up a bit
and root out the preacher.

♪♪ Bless her beautiful hide,
wherever she may be ♪♪

Uh, where's
the preacher's house?

Down the street,
next to the church.

Thanks, pop.

♪♪ She's the gal for me ♪♪

I'll say it plain, Milly,
and to your face.

- I don't like this marriage.
- Oh, reverend--

I don't know you or
anything about you,

and I feel
responsible.

Milly's like
a daughter to us.

We're
her only family.

But reverend, ever since
I came here,

you've been after me
to marry.

"A girl had no right
to stay single," you said.

The country needed
to be settled.

We meant for you to marry
one of our young men, Milly.

You had your pick
with them.

I tried.

Again and again,
I tried.

I'd say yes
to one of them,

and an awful sinking feeling
would strike me right here,

and I couldn't
do it.

When I said yes
to him,

I waited
for that feeling,

but it didn't come.

I feel just fine.

I feel so good
I could cry.

Oh, I think
it's wonderful--

love at
first sight.

Alice, what kind
of talk is that?

You're determined,
Milly?

Yes, reverend.

Then step
forward.

Take her hand
in yours.

Repeat after me--
I, Adam Pontipee.

I, Adam Pontipee.

Take this woman to be
my lawfully wedded wife.

Take this woman to be
my lawfully wedded wife.

[Dog barking]

Where's she going?

Never did like
them Pontipees.

Now I know why.

Maw, maw,
he done it!

He got a wife!

[Gasp]

It's Milly. It's indecent,
if you ask me--

one lone woman with
7 scroungy backwoodsmen.

♪♪ Bless your
beautiful hide ♪♪

♪♪ Wherever you ♪♪

I'm not much of a bride,
with only this for an outfit.

You'll find a trunk in the attic
belonging to my mother.

There's things there,
if you're handy with a needle.

I'd like that.

I'd like to be wearing something
that belonged to your mother.

My mother
left me these--

they're packets of seed
for a flower garden

she meant
to plant out here.

My father
left me these--

Plutarch's Lives
and the Bible.

He taught me to read
by them.

I hope that maybe someday
I can teach our--

how far is it
up to the farm?

Oh, about 12 miles.

Imagine--on my way
to my own home.

I feel so wonderful
I could yell.

Go ahead.

Hooray!

[Echoing]

Ha ha ha!
That's echo pass.

It ain't safe to raise
your voice in the winter.

It might start an avalanche.

I cussed my horse too loud
one February

and we got snowed in
till spring.

Some people think that
would be pretty lonely,

but I can stand some loneliness
after the inn.

Reckon I'd better water
the horses.

Whoa.

My wedding bouquet.

Sorrel?

It makes real
nourishing soup.

Ha ha ha ha.

Always
back at the inn,

when I'd hear all the men yellin
and screamin for their dinners,

I'd think how wonderful
it would be

to have one man
to cook and care for.

Just one man.

Now that
it's happened,

I can't hardly
believe it's true.

Ahem.

[Dog barking]

Whoa!

[Cow lows]

Oh, uh, this is
my brother Caleb.

Oh, how are you,
brother Caleb?

This is my wife Milly.

Your wife?

Well, I'll be
a monkey's uncle.

Hey, Eph, Dan,
he done it!

He got married!

This is my brothers
Ephraim and Daniel.

Hi, brother Ephraim,
brother Daniel.

Which one is Ephraim,
and which is Daniel?

- Me.
- Me.

And this here
is Benjamin.

How are you,
brother Benjamin?

You didn't tell me
you had brothers.

Well, it must have been
the wedding,

threw it
out of my mind.

You all live
around here?

Not round--here.

Oh.

I guess I should have picked
some more sorrel.

Uh, this is the house.

[Cluck cluck]

[Squawking]

My, what a nice big room.

Well, it maybe could stand readying up
a bit. Now that you're here.

Come on. Wake up.

Wake up and meet
your sister-in-law.

This is Frank.

How are you,
brother Frank?

And this here
is Gideon.

You can drop
that spoon.

We're gonna have some human
cooking around here, for a change.

Are there any more?

No. Gideon's
the last born.

It'll take me
a little while

to put the right name
with the right brother.

Just remember
your ABC's--

Adam, Benjamin,
Caleb, Daniel,

Ephraim, Frank,
and Gideon.

They're
fine-sounding names.

- Yeah.
- Bible names.

That was maw's idea.

The ABC's,
that was pa's,

so he could keep
track of us.

He was counting on using
the whole 26 letters,

right down to Zachariah,

but when he got a look
at Gideon here, went out

and chopped a tree
down on himself.

Ha ha ha ha!

There's-- there's
one of the names

I don't seem to remember
in the Bible-- Frank.

Is Frank a Bible name?

That ain't his real name.
Is it, Frank?

We just call him that
for short.

His real name is--

Aah!

You pay 'em no mind. Follow me,
I'll show you around.

- Can't-- can't you stop them?
- Oh, you'll get used to that.

Now, up here's the--

well, what happened?
Was it something I said?

Oh, no, no. Just Frank's just testy
about his name, that's all.

There was no "f" names
in the Bible,

so maw named him Frankincense

because
he smelled so sweet.

Now, like I was sayin',

up there's
the bedroom.

Down at the other end's
where the boys sleep.

You come on in.

Uh, this is
the washroom.

Me and the boys
are kinda hard on clothes

so there will be a lot of
washing and mending, but--

- now that--
- now that I'm here.

This
is the kitchen.

You'll find flour
on that shelf there,

salt pork
over there.

Come on! Get out of here!
All of ya!

How do you expect her to get
supper with you underfoot?

Come on. You, too,
Gideon. Come on.

Wood's right down
the path there,

but the water's right
outside the front door.

There's the dinner bell.

So, ring it good and loud
when you get supper ready.

[Clanging]

Ow!

What'd you do
that for?

You--all of you falling
on the food that way!

Haven't you any decency
to wait for grace?

Huh? No!

You don't even know
what I'm talking about!

- What's the trouble?
- Look at your brothers!

The vittles
must be good.

All right.

If you're going
to act like hogs,

you can eat
like hogs!

Oh!

Oh!

Ha ha ha!

"Neither cast ye your pearls
before swine,

"lest they trample them
under their feet

and turn again and rend you."

[Ticking]

[Clock strikes]

It's about time for you boys
to turn in, ain't it?

Got a big day of
plowing ahead tomorrow.

It's 9:00
already--

an hour past
your bedtime.

Yours, too.

[Snickers]

Well, uh...

Guess I am
a mite sleepy, at that.

Milly:
Who is it?

It's Adam, your husband.

Come in,
Adam.

Good night, boys.

I, uh, thought
you'd be in bed.

Did you?

It's been
a right busy day.

You must be kind of
tuckered out.

That's right.

Shall I, uh, turn
down the covers?

You can if you like...

But I'm
not going to bed.

You don't want
a wife, Adam.

You want a cook,

a washerwoman--
a hired girl.

Well, a hired girl's got a right
to a sleeping place of her own.

I reckon that's so, Milly.

All the way up in the wagon,
you let me talk--

make a fool of myself
talking about you and me.

You should have
stopped me!

Maybe I should have,

but it sounded
real pretty.

Besides, if I'd have
told you beforehand,

you might not have
married me.

And I wanted you
to marry me, Milly.

- I wanted it real bad.
- Sure you did,

because you knew
I was young and strong

and there was
lots of work in me.

That's partly true.
It's a hard life out here

in the forest
and wilderness.

There's trees waiting
to be felled,

land waiting to be plowed
and fenced, stock to be fed.

A man wants a wife
who can work alongside of him.

Of course, if--
if she's got eyes

that are bluer
than cornflowers

and hair the color
of wheat in the sunshine,

he counts himself
real fortunate.

I'll work alongside
you, Adam...

But I'm not sleeping
alongside you.

She wants a drink
of water.

She's thirsty.

[Gasp]

Have a drink.

What are you doing?

Bedding down
for the night.

Don't know what
the birds see in it.

Somehow it just
don't seem fitting

for a bridegroom to spend
his wedding night in a tree.

It was your idea,
not mine.

I guess I was
pretty mad, Adam,

but...

I built up such
a store of dreams,

dreams about love

and...and marriage
and such.

come back in.

[Rooster crows]

[Dog barking]

Bacon!

Fresh-made coffee!

Hot bread!
It's Milly cooking!

[Takes deep breath]

Adam must have told
her what was what.

Oh, it sure smells good.
I'm hungry.

I feel like I haven't
ate for years.

Where's my pants?

Where's my shirt
and pants?

I'm looking
for my own.

Who did it.
Who hid them on me?

All I've got
is my boots.

Milly: Good morning,
my brothers.

If you're looking
for your outside clothes,

they're hanging up
drying on the line.

I came in before
and got them.

I couldn't get your inside
clothes, so I'll take them now.

Our underwear?

Your winter underwear
that you're sleeping in.

You might as well
hand them over

'cause you're not gonna get
your clothes or food or nothing

until you get all
cleaned up and shaved.

Where's Adam?
We want to talk to Adam!

He's out plowing. He had his
breakfast over half an hour ago.

I got hot muffins
waiting,

crisp bacon,
hot cakes, steak,

fired potatoes,
fresh-ground coffee.

Now do I get
that winter underwear,

or do I have to
come take it off you?

Don't listen to her.
She wouldn't dare.

Milly:
Oh, wouldn't I?

All right, all right.
You'll get it.

I didn't know last night
I'd married

into such a handsome family.

You know, you're mighty
good-looking boys.

Well, you are,
every last one of you.

What have you been doing
going around hiding

behind those beards?

Afraid some girl will see you
and run off with you?

Why, I've never seen you
at the dances or cornhuskings

or at harvest time?

Don't you like girls?

We ain't never
hardly ever seen one.

You've got a big sister now
that's gonna see that you do.

You want to eat?

Well, then...

O lord, thou hast brought us
through desert,

mountain,
and wilderness

to a good land,
a land of wheat and game

where we need
never hunger.

We thank thee, o lord,

for thy loving care
and thy bounty. Amen.

Amen.
Amen amen

after you.

Thank you, Dan.

Frank?

Thank you.

Where you going,
Milly?

I've got to go
to town, Gideon.

The flour barrel's
getting low,

and I've worn a broom
and a scrub brush clear through.

I'd better go along
and help you tote them.

What's going on?

Milly and me
are going to town.

I reckon I'll go along
and help drive the horses.

I'll drive.

Hey, Milly's
going to town!

Hey, let's go with her!

Whoa!

You boys
set here and wait.

Gideon will help me.

And don't forget--
mind your manners.

Hey, look--girls!

Quick.
Say something.

Uh, care for a chaw
of tobacco?

- Well, I never!
- Hey, what's going on.

- That oaf insulted us.
- Oh?

No such thing.

All he did was
offer them a chaw.

Well, it's
darn good tobacco.

It is, huh?

Hey, it's us!

My window!

Stop it, Benjamin!
Stop it this minute!

Don't just stand there.
Do something.

What fer? There's only
3 little ones.

- Stop it! Do you hear?
- All right, Milly.

It's stopped.

You get
in that wagon.

Get!

What did I do wrong,
Milly?

Well, first off,
if you want to get a girl,

you got to learn
how to talk to her.

I'll show you.

I'm a girl. You meet me
coming out of church.

You raise your hat.

What's the matter,
Caleb?

My hair
ain't combed.

Well, next, you got
to say something nice.

Gideon,
say something nice.

Nice night
for a coon hunt.

Ha ha ha!

You get out of here. Get!

You're beating your head
against a stone wall, Milly.

You'll never make
Jack-a-dandies out of them.

You pay him no mind. 'Cause
you'll all gonna be just fine.

Besides, it's a whole month

before the barn-raising
and picnic.

But there's one thing
you got to remember.

You're going to have
a lot of competition

because every one
of those girls down there

has 5 or 10 fellas
buzzing round her.

We'll clean them
out first thing.

Yeah. The whole lot of 'em.

No, no. That's one thing
you mustn't do.

If they want to act
like a pack of hyenas, let them.

You've got to be
above such things.

You gotta act gentlemanly
and well-spoken.

And show the girls
that you have some etiquette.

Eti--what?

Like I showed you
at the table.

When you meet
a girl,

don't grab her like
she was a flapjack.

Hold off for a while.
Offer her your arm.

When you've got her alone,

steal your arm
around her.

You got to court
a girl to get her.

You got to call her
my darling, my dear,

my precious,
my pet.

What happened
to your thumb, Gideon?

I soaked it in lye.
Took off the dirt all right.

Dang near took off
the nail with it.

Oh, I'm so proud
of you. All of you.

But just remember one thing--
mind your manners

and be real gentlefolk.

And no matter what happens,
no fighting.

What's

If we're going to

They're

7 of them!

And all as tall
as church steeples.

- It's Milly! Milly!
- Where are you going?

- To see Milly.
- I just love Milly.

Looks like them
Pontipee brothers.

Milly!

Alice!

Mil, I've missed you so!

Milly, it's been months
since I've seen you.

I missed
you all so much.

I baked some things for
the collation. Pies and such.

We'll take them over.

I'd be pleasured
if you'd allow me.

Why, thanks.

We'll all help carry them.

I couldn't let a little
lady like you heft that.

Can we help?

- Please,
- allow me, ma'am.

If you'll just
follow me.

To the ends
of the earth.

Afraid that's all.

Sorry. That's all.

May I escort you
back?

You know, you're the prettiest
girl I ever acquainted.

May I escort you
to the ball, ma'am?

It wouldn't hurt you
to learn some manners, too.

What do I need
manners for?

I already got me
a wife.

[Clanging]

Come on, everybody,
get your partners!

There's going
to be dancing.

[Music starts]

Ha ha ha!

Hey!

Hey!

[Girls squeal]

Faster.

Hey, attaboy,
Carl!

[Cheers]

[Cheers]

Woman:
What happened?

Woman:
I don't know.

Man:
Take him, Dan.

- Come on, Dan!
- Get him.

Come on, Caleb!

Come on, Frank.

- Come on, Frank.
- Come on, Frank.

You got it now.

[Cheers]

Ha ha ha!

[Cheers]

Neighbors!

Neighbors,
may I have your attention?

All you folk that have come
from far and wide,

Henry here wants me

to thank you men for coming
to help and raise his barn.

Thanks, folks.

And he thanks the ladies for all
the fancy vittles they brought.

[Applause]

Now since the barn's
got four sides,

there's gonna be four teams.

The team that gets their side up
first, wins the little heifer.

Henry, show them Annabel.

[Moo]

[Laughter]

Now get your teams
set up, neighbors.

And let's see who wins
the little lady.

Adam, we could
use her on the farm.

How about it, boys?

Mr. Perkins, put the 7 of us
brothers down for one team.

Milly says she's taken
a fancy to Annabel.

You hear, boys?
That was Adam Pontipee.

Last time he came to town,
he bragged how he always got

what he set out to get.
And danged if he didn't.

He's a hard one to beat,
I'm warning you.

Don't worry.

- We'll handle him.
- That's the spirit.

We got a team
all set up here, Pete.

And here's your
fourth, Pete.

That's fine.
Now got your hammers and all?

- Yeah!
- Then take your positions.

The sooner you raise the barn,
the sooner you get the vittles.

[Shouting]

Come on.

Pete: Are you ready?

Men:
Yeah!

Let's go!

[Shouting]

[Dog barking]

Come on, Adam!
Come on!

Ow!

My fault, sorry. I shouldn't
have had my hand there.

What happened?

Nothing.

Caleb, get that board
up there.

Ow!

Now what
happened?

I stubbed
my big toe.

Come on.
Let's get going.

Frank, get those
sideboards up here.

Hurt yourself,
Frankincense?

Come on.
Let's go.

What's the matter
with you boys today?

Just a little
dizzy spell.

Hold it!
Hold it!

He didn't drop that hammer.
He threw it. I saw it.

- We don't want no fights.
- We promised Milly.

We're gonna keep our calm.
So don't start anything.

Come on.
We're way behind now.

She's made you into
a bunch of mama's boys.

They're out to murder you,
and what do you do?

Apologize for living.

You're a disgrace
to the Pontipee name.

You're a bunch
of Lily-livered,

chicken-hearted
lickspittles.

Serves you right.

I hope they break
your necks.

Come on, Gideon,
let's go.

What are you doing that for?
He ain't done nothing!

Ha ha ha!

[Women screaming]

Oh!

Aah!

No!

Boys, boys,
stop the fight!

Agh!

[Creaking]

[Creaking]

[Laughing]

Witch Hazel.

Split lip.

Don't smile
for a few days.

Next.

Two beefsteak.
Frank.

A kick in
the pants.

Next.

A loose tooth and swelled-up
knuckles.

It's a wonder you have
any teeth left.

Witch Hazel, please.

I'm sorry, Milly, honest.

When that fellow took out after
Adam, an innocent--

I understand,
Gideon.

You all did
your best, I guess.

Good night,
boys.

Good night,
Milly.

- Good night, Milly.
- Good night, Milly.

I...I feel

awful strange-like,
Milly. Here.

If it's what I think
ails you, Gideon,

witch Hazel's
not going to help.

Alice is sweet,
isn't she?

Good night.

Good night.

Well...

What's the matter
with you?

Did somebody butt you
in the breadbasket?

No. I felt this way
even before the fight--

ever since
I seen Alice.

Adam...

Yeah?

Do...do you
reckon I...

I could be in love?

Well, pa used to say

love is kind of like
the measles.

You only
get it once.

The older you are,
the tougher it goes.

A young fella like you
ought to get it kind of light.

Oh, I guess not.

Well, I don't know as I can
answer your question, Gideon,

but according to Milly--

and she's had a heap
of book learning...

Whew.

It is beautiful,
isn't it?

Not to me.

I've seen too much
of it.

I'm getting out.

Why, Benjamin!

I'm not gonna
stay here another winter,

snowed in
for 3, 4 months.

What will we do
without you?

We'd miss you so.

There's plenty here to take
care of the farm without me.

- Adam!
- Whoa. Yeah?

- Benjamin says he's leaving.
- What?

He says it's the winter,
but I know it's not that.

He's grieving for his girl.

They're all grieving
for their girls.

Why should they grieve
for them girls?

They hardly saw them
more than once.

Once is all it takes,
if it's the right one.

And I had such dreams

about all of them
living around,

dozens of babies
and children,

visiting back and forth
at Christmas time and birthdays.

If Benjamin goes,
then another will go

and another.

I'll talk to them.

Whoa.

Ha ha.

If you could just get
a look at yourselves--

you look like a bunch of
lovesick bull calves.

If you're so sweet
on those girls,

why don't you do
something about it?

Why don't you go marry them?

Oh sure, just go marry them
as easy as that.

You know, they'd never let us
marry them. Not in 1000 years.

Then do like the Romans did
with the sobbin' women.

Or Sabine women
or whatever they call them.

Those Romans were in
the same fix you're in.

They was opening up
new territory,

and women were
scarce just like here.

There was these
sobbin' women down in town.

So what did
the Romans do?

They went down there
and they carried them off.

If you can't do as good
as a bunch of old Romans.

You're no brothers
of mine.

Of course, this being Oregon
and god-fearing territory,

you'd have to capture
a parson along with them.

Hey, them Romans.

They the ones I heard about
settled up north of here?

No. No. This was
in olden days.

Read about it here
in Milly's book.

Oh, a book.

This is history.
This really happened.

♪♪ Tell you
about them sobbin' women ♪♪

♪♪ Who lived
in the Roman days ♪♪

♪♪ It seems that they all
went swimming ♪♪

♪♪ While their men
was off to graze ♪♪

♪♪ Well, a Roman troop
was riding by ♪♪

♪♪ And saw them
in their me-oh-my ♪♪

♪♪ So they took
them all ♪♪

♪♪ Back home to dry ♪♪

♪♪ Least that's
what Plutarch says ♪♪

♪♪ Oh, yes, them a-women
was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin' ♪♪

♪♪ Fit to be tied ♪♪

♪♪ Every muscle
was throbbin', throbbin' ♪♪

♪♪ From that riotous ride ♪♪

♪♪ Seems they cried and kissed
and kissed and cried ♪♪

♪♪ All over
that Roman countryside ♪♪

♪♪ So don't forget that
when you're taking a bride ♪♪

♪♪ Sobbin', fit
to be tied ♪♪

♪♪ From that
riotous ride ♪♪

So then
what happened?

Gather 'round.
I'll tell you.

♪♪ They never did
return their plunder ♪♪

♪♪ The Victor gets all the loot ♪♪

♪♪ They carried them home
by thunder ♪♪

♪♪ To rotundas small
but cute ♪♪

♪♪ And you've never seen,
so they tell me ♪♪

♪♪ Such downright domesticity ♪♪

♪♪ With a Roman baby
on each knee ♪♪

♪♪ Named Claudius and Brute ♪♪

♪♪ Oh, yes, them a-women
was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin' ♪♪

♪♪ Passing them nights ♪♪

♪♪ While the Romans
was going out hobnobbin' ♪♪

♪♪ Starting up fights ♪♪

Is that so?

♪♪ They kept occupied
by sewing lots ♪♪

♪♪ Of little old togas
for them tots ♪♪

♪♪ And saying, "someday
womenfolk will have rights" ♪♪

♪♪ Passing all
of their nights ♪♪

Just sewing.

♪♪ While the Romans
had fights ♪♪

Hey, listen
to this.

♪♪ Now, when the menfolk
went to fetch them ♪♪

♪♪ The women
would not be fetched ♪♪

♪♪ It seems when
the Romans catch them ♪♪

♪♪ Their lady friends
stay ketched ♪♪

♪♪ Now, let this be,
because it's true ♪♪

♪♪ A lesson
to the likes of you ♪♪

♪♪ Rough them up like
them there Romans do ♪♪

♪♪ Or else they'll think
you're tetched ♪♪

♪♪ Oh, yes, them a-women was
sobbin', sobbin', sobbin'♪♪

- ♪♪ Buckets of tears ♪♪
- mighty sad.

♪♪ Account of old dobbin' dobbin'
really rattled their ears ♪♪

And that ain't all.

♪♪ Oh, they acted
angry and annoyed ♪♪

♪♪ But secretly
they was overjoyed ♪♪

♪♪ You might
recall that ♪♪

♪♪ When corralling
your steer ♪♪

♪♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh,
them poor little dears ♪♪

Why are you sitting there for?
Why don't we get them?

♪♪ Oh, yes, them a-women
was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin' ♪♪

♪♪ Weeping a ton ♪♪

♪♪ Just remember
what Robin, Robin, Robin hood ♪♪

♪♪ Would have done ♪♪

♪♪ We'll be just like
them there merry men ♪♪

♪♪ And make them all merry
once again ♪♪

♪♪ And though they'll be
a-sobbin' for a while ♪♪

Oh, yes.

♪♪ We're gonna make
them sobbin' women smile ♪♪

Yeah!

Yee-ha! Ha ha!

Adam:
Whoa, there.

Go get them.
Be quiet about it.

I'll wait for you here.

[Sotto voce]
Dan! Eph!

Your two's
in here.

They're coming out.

Liza:
Good night.

Aah!

You got mine!

[Crying]

Carl: How about my
good-night kiss, Sarah?

Sarah: Carl, you're
so persistent.

Be a sport.
Just one kiss.

Well, maybe just
a little one.

Close your eyes.

Why, Carl.

Frank! Frank!
What are you doing?

Whoa.

Attaboy.
Get them in.

Come on, Frank.

Hey, where's
Gideon?

Meow. Meow.

I hear the cat
outside.

I'll go,
Mrs. Elcott.

Poor pansy, out on
a night like this.

Meow.

Meow. Meow.

Meow.

Meow.

M--

Meow.

Hurry up,
will you?

Meow. Meow. Meow.
Meow. Meow.

Gideon: Meow.
Meow. Meow. Meow.

Sounds like pansy
has the croup.

I'll look
out in back.

Meow. Meow.
Meow. Meow.

It's all right,
Alice. She's here.

Oh! No! Aah!

Dorcas:
Aah! Aah!

Jenny:
Dorcas! Dorcas!

Pa! Pa, come quick!

Attaboy,
Gideon.

Aah!

[Clanging]

What's keeping
Benjamin?

I don't know.

[Clanging]

Quiet. Stay down.

Let's get out
of here.

Let's go.

Adam: Hah! Hah!
Come on!

Hah! Hah!
Hah! Hah! Hah!

Hah! Hah! Hyah!
Come on!

[Clanging]

Sarah Kines--
she's gone!

- So is Alice.
- Ruth Jensen, too.

Where's
Dorcas?

It was
them Pontipees.

The whole
7 of 'em jumped me.

Come on.
We'll get them.

Hah! Giddy-up!

Hyah!

[Screaming]

Hah! Hyah!

Make them stop
that yelling!

We're coming
to the pass.

Keep them quiet,

or we'll have an avalanche
down on us.

Whoa now, whoa now.

Whoa.

All right,
here we go.

Hold
your breath.

[Whimpering]

Aah!

Keep her
quiet.

Hah!

Hurry up, Adam.
I hear them coming.

[Horse whinnies]

Adam:
Whoa. Whoa.

All right. Let them go.

Aah! Aah!

[Gunshots]

There she goes!

[Women crying]

[Men laughing]

♪♪ On account of those
dobbin', dobbin' ♪♪

♪♪ Really rattled
their ears ♪♪

Whoa.

All right, boys.
Line them up.

Oh, Milly! Milly!

What have you done?

Oh, Milly,
help us.

Milly, we've
been kidnapped.

Oh, Milly.

Take these girls
back at once.

We can't. There was
an avalanche.

I guess they'll just have
to wait till spring, that's all.

It was your idea,
wasn't it?

I'd say it was more yours.

It all came out of that book
about them sobbin' women.

What kind of men
are you, anyway?

Are you animals that you'd do
a thing like this?

Swooping down
like hawks,

carrying off
poor innocents.

They're just
young boys in love, that's all.

Didn't you tell me just today
you wanted them all married

with wives of their own?

I want
my mother.

Please don't cry,
Alice.

I'm sorry, honest.
But it was the only way

I could get
to marry you.

- Adam!
- What?

We forgot
to get the parson!

Don't worry, now.
Go on in the kitchen.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Well, cheer up. You got 'em,
haven't you?

Everything's gonna
be all right.

- Now, Milly.
- This house is for the girls.

You're not gonna set foot in it
as long as they're here.

You'll eat and sleep in the barn
with the rest of the livestock.

Now get out of here.
I'm ashamed of you.

Go ahead, boys,
go on.

- Now Milly.
- You, too.

You're taking this too hard.
Everything will work out fine.

Me and the boys will
get a parson up here some way.

Do you think those girls
would marry them now?

You think because you
got a wife so easily,

'cause I didn't make
you court me and coax me,

that that's all
there is to it?

I said yes to you because
I fell in love with you

the first time
I saw you standing there.

And I thought it was
the same with you too.

Milly--

you think a wife's
just to cook and clean?

You got no understandings.
You got no feelings.

How could you do
a thing like this?

When I think
of these poor girls

sick with fright

and their families
crazed with worry,

oh, I can't abide
to look at you.

[Door slams]

This isn't exactly where we'd
planned on spending the night--

in a barn.

What do you think
you're doing?

I'm getting out of here.

Going up to the trapping cabin
and wait out the winter.

You can't do it, Adam.

You can't stay
up there alone.

The cabin's got enough supplies
for the next six months.

Don't go, Adam.
It's us she's mad at.

Nah. Nah, it's
more than that.

It's something
that goes a lot deeper.

Suppose you get sick
or break a leg or something

up there all alone?

The wolves are mighty bad
this year.

The wolves are like good company
after what I've been through.

[Crying]

There's nothing like
a nice hot cup of tea

when you're
all tuckered out.

[Knock on door]

Milly, it's me, Gideon.
I got to speak to you.

No, Milly! Don't!

Shh!

What is it?

It's about Adam. He's going away
up into the mountains,

up to the trapping
cabin.

Milly, can you hear me?

I hear.

You just speak to him.
Ask him not to go.

Please, Milly.

He's gotta learn that he can't
treat people this way.

Now, Eph, let's
start here.

Oh!

Oh!

Ha ha ha!

Aah!

Ow!

What's the matter, you afraid
of a little snowball?

Snowballs
with rocks in them!

"Them poor
little dears,

sobbin' buckets
of tears."

"And when the sign was given,

"drawing their swords

"and following
with a great shout,

they ravished away
the daughters of the Sabine."

- [Knock on door]
- Who is it?

It's me--Caleb.

What do
you want?

It's a mighty
cold night, Milly.

I, uh, I need
an extra blanket.

Go and get one.

"And it continues the custom
to this very day

"for the bride not of herself
to pass her husband's threshold,

"but to be lifted over

"in memory
that the Sabine women

were carried in
by violence."

[Knock on door]

Who is it?

Benjamin.

What do
you want?

My leg is feeling poorly.
I, uh...I need some liniment.

Go ahead, but be
quick about it.

Yes, Milly.

"Some say, too
the custom of parting

"the bride's hair with the head
of a spear was in token of--"

[knock on door]

I got me
a stiff neck.

That's enough
of this nonsense!

We just wanted to--

go to the barn
and go to sleep,

or I'll bolt
the door on you.

"Was...was in token
of their marriages.

"It began at first by wars
and acts of hostility,

and then," uh...

Doesn't it do anything
but snow up here?

We've had a blizzard every day
for the past 2 months!

I'm going crazy
shut up in this house.

Alice, why don't you
read out loud to us?

Oh, no.

We've heard that book
3 times already.

Yes, go on, read us
about the sobbin' women!

- Please, Alice?
- I can't stand it again.

Then go get the dress
Milly promised you,

and I'll fit it to you.

What's the use when there's
no one to see it.

No one!

Well, I like that--
we're no one!

Where's Milly?

Up in the barn,
hunting eggs.

Oh, I wish I could
hunt eggs.

I love to hunt eggs.

Which of the boys slept
in this bed, do you suppose?

[Gasp]

Dorcas Galen!

What's the matter?
Didn't you ever think of that--

that you're sleeping
in one of their beds?

[Gasps]
I certainly never
thought any such thing!

Liza, Alice!

Come away from that
window this minute.

I think
it's disgusting,

standing there where
they can see you.

I notice that you peek out
often enough

when you think
no one's looking.

- I never!
- I saw you!

So did I.

You take
that back!

[Shouting]

Don't you dare say a thing
like that about Martha!

And what were you doing last
night out at the woodpile?

Oh, you!

Girls!
Now, stop!

Girls! Girls!

Stop it this minute!

[Shouting]

Alice, get up.

Oh, girls, please
don't squabble,

not now. Not when I
need you so much.

You see, I'm counting on all
of you to help me,

'cause I'm going
to have a baby.

Milly!

Sit down!
Are you comfortable?

I feel just fine.

- You won't lift a finger now.
- We'll take over everything.

We'll do
your chores,

cleaning, cooking,
everything!

No, no, really. I can't.
That'd be silly.

Where are you
going?

Well, I have a few
things to do.

Milly, when's
the baby coming?

Well, you have
to be patient.

But when?

In the spring.

Oh!

I wish
it was me.

Dorcas!

I've always wanted
to be a June bride

and have a baby
right off.

In the spring,
maybe.

Frank, Dan, Ben,
everybody!

Milly's having
her baby! Come on!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, Liza, Martha,
Ruth, hurry! Hurry!

[Footsteps]

[Slapping]

[Baby crying]

I'm an uncle.

[Crying]

[Rattling]

Adam! Adam!

Hey, Gideon!

Couldn't stand
the barn any longer, eh?

I've come to get you, Adam.
Take you back with me.

Yeah?

Well, Milly
has a baby.

It come
day before yesterday.

I don't
believe it.

It's as true
as I'm standing here.

I don't believe it!

Just her trick
to get me back.

Trick? You lived with Milly
as man and wife,

and you don't know
nothing about her.

She's proud
and spunky.

She'd never bring herself
to ask you back.

She'd be wasting
her breath.

I ain't a-figuring
on going.

Not even
to see the baby?

Your own kin?
Your own little girl?

A girl?

I might've known
she'd have a girl.

I'll be back when
the pass is open

I'll stay away
till the shooting's over.

- Adam?
- Hmm?

You're my eldest
brother.

I've always looked up to you,
tried to ape you.

But today,
I'm ashamed for you.

Now, I know you can lick me,
lick the tar out of me,

but I wouldn't hold myself
no kind of man

unless I showed you
how I felt.

Why, you--

Now get!

[Clanging]

The pass is open!
The pass is open!

All able-bodied men,

gather at
the meeting house!

[Clanging]

All able-bodied men, gather
at the meeting house!

Bring your axes, your guns,
your rifles, any kind of weapon!

[Clang clang]

The pass is open!

Are you ready, men?

Yeah!

Let's go!

♪♪ La da dum dum,
la dum dum ♪♪

♪♪ La da da da da
da da dum ♪♪

♪♪ La da dum dum, la da... ♪♪

Aah!

Ah, Gideon!

Well, what are you
staring at?

I told you I'd be back
when the pass was open.

The pass?

Oh, Milly!
They'll kill them!

Go upstairs, girls.
Go on, quickly.

Frank:
Let's get the guns.

Tell 'em to hitch up
the wagon.

Wagon?

Put plenty of blankets and straw
in it. Go ahead.

Uh...what do you
call her?

Well, I was thinking
of some name

like Hannah or Hagar
or Hephzibah,

picking up where
your mother left off.

Hannah.

Hannah.

I got to thinking
up there in the mountains--

thinking about the baby...

About how I'd feel
if somebody came sneaking in

and carried her off.

I'd string him
up the nearest tree--

shoot him down
like I would a thieving fox.

I thought about you, too,
while I was up there.

Seemed like
I couldn't get you

off of my mind.

Milly, when
you're in love--

when you're really
in love--

The wagon's
ready, Adam.

All right.

Now get the girls.
I'm going to take them back--

back to their
families.

Oh, Adam.

Adam, you will
be careful.

We're not letting you take 'em
back, Adam.

We talked it over
and we're all agreed.

They ain't going.

Caleb:
They're our girls now.

I say, I'm taking
them back.

I'm still head
of this family.

I reckon you'll
have to show me.

Likewise.

What do I have to do,

beat some sense
into your dumb heads?

Don't you know taking
them back's the only way

you're ever going
to get them.

The whole town's coming up here!

Let them come!
We'll fight them all.

Sure, sure, you will.

And who'll you be fighting?

The girls' kinfolk!

Someone's bound to get hurt--
a father, brother, maybe.

Think the girls are gonna
marry you after that?

Adam's right.

I stand
with Adam.

Well, don't stand
too close.

Adam! Adam!
The girls have gone!

They've run away!

Go get them! Get them back!
Come on. Come on.

[Shouting]

Hyah!

[Whistles]

Yah!

Dorcas! Come back!
You'll get hurt!

Now, let's keep it quiet.
They can hear us from here.

We'll creep up
on them.

Alice!

- Please, Alice!
- Martha, where are ya?

[Squawking]

Come back, Martha.
Don't run away.

Aah! Aah!

I'm not going back.
I'm not going back.

I want to stay
with you!

You've got to!
It's the only way!

I won't. Oh! Oh!

It's Alice!

Come on, Ruth!

Aah!

[Women screaming]

Hey!
There they are!

Aah!

Hey!

Stop!
Put me down!

Aah!

Let me go!
Aah!

Aah! No!

Don't! You'll
hit Dorcas!

[Women screaming]

[Crying]

[Hannah crying]

Oh, no. Not that!

[Shouting]

Grab her dress,
Ben!

Get a ladder!

Ruth! Ruth!

- Why, pa!
- Yeah.

- Alice.
- Oh! Oh!

Get up, Pontipee!
Come on! Get up!

Oh, what are you
going to do to him?

Hang him with the rest of them
from the nearest tree.

Oh!

Oh!

[Crying]

Just a minute!

Just a minute! Before we go,
there's one thing

we've got to know
from our girls.

Girls! Girls! Now reverend,
what is it you want to know?

We're all fathers here,
and we love you.

So don't be afraid
to answer.

A while back, I heard
a wee babe crying in the house.

Whose is it?

Whose is it?
Don't be afraid to tell.

Women: Mine!

Do you, Alice, Ruth, Martha,
Liza, Sarah, Dorcas,

take these men to be your
lawfully wedded husbands?

Women: We do.

And do you, Benjamin,
Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim,

Frankincense, Gideon,
take these girls

to be your lawfully
wedded wives?

Pontipees: We do.

I now pronounce you
men and wives.
