All language subtitles for 5.32 The Pressure Game

The following program

is brought to you
in living color on NBC.

Mommy, can we go to the picnic?
We'll see, dear.

Please. Billy Hammermill is going.
We'll see, Peggy.

Now, you get into the wagon.
We still have along way to go.

Tell you what, Peggy, if you'll be
my partner in the sack race,

I'll take you to the picnic
and your mother too.

Will you? Will you really, Adam?

It's a promise.

Can we, Mommy?

Oh, please, put that on
my account, Mr. Anderson.

Good afternoon, Ms. Dayton.

Mr. Cartwright.
Ladies.

We thought we'd be hearing
an announcement

from you two before this.

Yeah, well,
it's one of the hottest days on record.

It's not official,
but it's what everybody's saying.

Hyah!

They're not fooling me one bit.

There goes the next Mrs. Cartwright.

Well, I should hope so.

The way that young man's been
monopolizing her time

since her husband died.

Wonder which one's doing
all the hesitating.

Well, the man, my dear, as usual.

Looks like I'm gonna have
an extra bundle to carry in.

Thank you, Adam, but I suppose
you really shouldn't come in at all.

Yes, I suppose a woman in your
position is very vulnerable to gossip.

Especially when she's seen
keeping company with a man too long.

I'm afraid it's something
we both have to think about, though.

Not to please the silly gossips,

but so to be able to decide
these things for ourselves.

I assure you my intentions
are strictly honorable, ma'am.

So are mine.

Hey, did you lock your front door?

I'm sure I closed it when I left.

Hyah!

Don't shoot. Unless you want
to get rid of Laura's favorite aunt.

Aunt Lil!

Laura!

Laura. Oh, sweetheart
Aunt L", What a wonderful surprise.

Aunt Lil!

Oh, baby. Baby, baby.

How about it, Aunt Lil?
Can you spare one?

Adam, I'd like you to meet
my Aunt Lil.

Call me Lil, Adam.

Aunt Lil sounds like someone
bent over a hot stove stirring pea soup.

Actually, she's my fairy godmother.
She always turns up at the right time.

You've gotta quit polishing
those lamps, honey.

Well, come on in.
Make yourself at home.

No, I better get on back
and see if the ranch is still there.

But it was nice meeting you, Lil.
Same here.

Can I gave you a hand
with the things?

Oh, no, thanks, we'll manage.

Don't forget about the picnic.
I won't.

Now, you go upstairs to your room

and you'll find something there
that was not there this morning.

So that was the stubborn mule.

I'll get some coffee started.
Never mind that.

You tell me what's wrong.
Wrong?

Well, nothing's wrong.
Whatever gave you that idea?

Your last letter. Little things
I read between those brave lines.

Peggy and I are getting along fine.

Laura, this is your Aunt L"
and I've come a long way.

I know you have.
And I'm very glad you're here. Heh.

Well, maybe the ranch
is beginning to get me down.

It is a tough job for a woman.

Especially a woman who works
with her head on her sleeve.

Now, Lil.
Don't "now, Lil" me. Tell me the truth.

Of course I know
he's a good-looking guy.

I've seen them all from Chicago
to San Francisco.

And there's not one of them
that's worth a single hair on your head.

You've got your head set on him,
haven't you?

Adam is a very fine man.

He's honest and kind and
he's been wonderful to Peggy and me.

I think he's made me really happy
for the first time in my life.

But he likes to keep his hat by the door
so he can get out.

Well, don't they all?
Do you love him?

Oh, Lil, that's something personal
between Adam and myself.

Laura, you're forgetting
I'm your Aunt Lil.

I love you. I'm not just a stranger.

I know.

But all this talk about marriage.
Well, don't you see?

First we have to be sure
we love one another

and then we'll know what to do.

Well, that's fine. But what I say is
get married first and fall in love later.

Now, you stop that.
Aunt Lil!

Aunt L", the dolly is beautiful!
I love her, Aunt L", I love her!

Thank you! Thank you!
It's wonderful.

And now that
your fairy godmother is here,

everything is gonna be wonderful.

How about it? Can you spare one?

We gotta do something, Pa.
We already lost over a dozen head

and the situation
ain't getting no better.

What about that summer range
you were talking about?

There ought to be
some grass up there.

There is, but there's a lot
of critters on it already grazing it too.

If you put too many beeves up there,
it gets overgrazed.

Takes forever
before the grass comes back.

We're gonna have to do something
about these down here, Pa.

Them that squeak through the summer
ain't gonna make it through the winter.

Welcome, stranger.

What gives? Looks like a wake.

As a participating member
of this ranch,

I think you should know that we are
about to lose 500 head of steers.

Yeah, they're starting to eat
cactus and local weed.

I know, I was out looking at them
last week.

Seems to me
we just have to unload them.

Joe is in Frisco.
Why don't we send him a wire

and see what price
they're paying over there?

No matter what the price,

we still don't have any hands
to get them there.

What about the Bonner brothers?

I'd just as seen not do business
with those two cutthroats.

I don't see how we can avoid it.

They're the only drovers working
through here this time of year.

Since you used to chase around with
them before you came to your senses,

you wanna talk to them?
I♫ can find them.

I'm going in town tomorrow
to pick up Laura and Peggy,

take them on
that Fourth of July picnic.

If I can find them,
I'll talk to them then.

When are you gonna bring
that gal of yours around here

so I can get a look at her?

Yeah, or marry her so you can
stick around here where you belong.

All right, that's enough.
That's the third time today.

Sorry.

Heat will do that.

Yeah.

Now, you all know the rules.
Twice around the town.

Get set. Ready?

We're gonna miss all the fun
if we have to wait here all day.

You're quite right, my dear.

It's sad but true,
and you'll learn one of these days,

that we have to depend on men
most of the time for our fun.

Where's Adam, Mommy?
I don't know, dear.

He promised to meet us here.

Oh, now where are you going?
Never you mind.

I have a pretty good idea
where he is.

And I've had a lot of experience
along those lines.

You do and I'll throw you all
in a horse trough in one ugly lump.

I don't know, Adam.

See, the trouble is
the market price is way down

at rail head even for good cattle.

I wouldn't worry.
You've always come out ahead.

Yeah, but this is different.
Now, that's a big heard, over 500 head.

Hungry cattle don't drive easy.
Well, we'd have to take on extra men.

I'm sure the whole deal could wind up
costing us money.

Heh, heh. That I would like to see.

I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll make it $25 a head.

And that's as low as we can go.

Put it on my tab.
All right.

Lil!

If you ain't a sight for sore eyes.

When'd you hit Virginia City?
I'm visiting relatives here.

Oh, Sam, it's good to see you again.
Do you still sing?

Hey, you put on a pound or two
here or there.

But you're still a lot of woman, Lil.
Hey, take it easy.

I'm a lady of means new.

I'm Mrs. Lillian Manfred
of San Francisco.

So you and the Moose
finally got hitched. Wonderful!

Yeah, Charlie was killed
in a mine accident

about two weeks
after we were married.

Oh, I'm sorry, Lil. That's too bad.

Yeah, sure shook me up.

But, well, things aren't all bad.

The cave-in exposed a silver shelf
as big as that bar of yours.

Oh?

"Oh" is right.

Now, I'm, um, seeking
Mr. Adam Cartwright.

Is he a patron here?
Yeah, sure, LiI-- Mrs. Manfred.

There he is.

Lil.
Adam.

Laura and Peggy were expecting
you at the picnic this afternoon.

I know. I didn't know
time had gone by so fast.

Take the tickets
and the three of you go on ahead

and, uh, I'll join you there
when I'm finished here.

And tell Laura and Peggy
that I'm sorry, will you?

Hey, you better run along too,
Adam.

We don't wanna get you in trouble
on our account.

It looks like Laura Dayton has
got a ring in your nose,

before she even got you hog-tied.

Listen, I came here
to talk about cattle.

Oh, sure, Adam.

Suppose you take us out there
and give us a look at them beeves.

We'd hate to buy a cow in a poke,
so to speak. Heh, heh, heh.

Well, you can find them, can't you?

Sure, we could, in about a week's time,
but we gotta be in Aurora tomorrow.

All right, let's go.

That's my ball.
Oh?

What shape is it?
Round.

My aunt gave it to me.
You can ask her.

Little missy, you better learn
to catch better than that.

Haven't you ever heard of
finders keepers, losers weepers?

It's not my fault.
Aunt Lil can't throw too good.

Ladies are not supposed to be able
to throw a ball too good.

How do?
Hello.

Well, since you made
a positive identification,

I guess I'm gonna
have to give it back to you.

I'm sorry.
Would you like to play with us?

You need an extra player?
I'll make a deal.

You play ball with Peggy

and we'll share our picnic basket
with you.

That is if you're alone.

Yes, I'm alone. I just dropped by
to take a chance on a raffle.

Good. Come along.
All right.

I found someone
who will play ball with Peggy.

He can throw a ball
better than I can, I hope.

And we're gonna share
our picnic lunch with him too.

Well, neck's all right.

Well, I think we can do
better than that,

if you don't mind
taking your chances.

Well, right now I feel
that I'm doing much better

than anything I could have won
at that raffle.

Ooh, I hope you can throw a ball
the way you throw a line.

I spoke the truth, ma'am.

Come on. Let's play ball, mister...
Mister... What's your name?

Will, honey. Will Cartwright.

Well, did I say something wrong?

No. Uh, excuse me.
I'm Laura Dayton.

This is my daughter Peggy.
And this is my Aunt Lil.

Laura, you're--
You're Adam's girl, huh?

Well, not exactly.

Say, where is he? I thought
he was bringing you to the picnic.

Oh, I think he's attending
to some important business.

But you're welcome all the same.

Isn't it strange we've never met?

Oh, I've, uh, stuck pretty close
to the ranch lately. I, uh...

But he's told me an awful lot
about you.

Oh.

Nice things, I hope.

Laura, let's get lunch.

We've lost one Cartwright,
but we found another.

So we're son of even.

That's right, Mommy.
Finders keepers, losers weepers.

Hey, little miss,
I've gotta go earn that chicken.

Now, there's nothing
to cry about, dear.

You had a good time with Will,
didn't you?

Yes, but Adam promised.

Maybe he got mm or something.

No, I don't think so.

And don't you worry.

You just close your eyes
and go to sleep.

And tomorrow will be
a lovely new day.

Good night, sweetheart
Good night.

Did you finally give up?

Want some twice-baked chicken?

Uh-uh.

I don't understand it.
It's not like Adam.

At least he could have
sent us a message.

That's what makes me so angry.

It's like all of them, believe me.

He'll start apologizing and
then you'll start feeling sorry for him.

So don't see him.
I learned that the hard way.

Oh, Adam. Good evening.

Hello, Lil. Is, uh, Laura in?

No, I'm sorry, but she's retired.
I'll tell her you called.

Thank you. I, uh...

Would you give my apologies
to her

and Peggy about this afternoon?

I'm sorry.
Hello, Adam.

I'm sorry, Laura, but some business
came up, couldn't wait.

Well, sometimes promises
can't wait either.

It was very rude of you to leave us
waiting at the hotel.

Peggy was bitterly disappointed.

I know, I'll try to make it up to her.
Well, I hope you can.

Yeah. Well, good night.

Oh, baby, baby, baby.

Don't ever let him know
you have a temper.

Not at this stage of the game.

Listen, sweetheart

they always come back
hat in hand and very contrite.

Usually.

Oh, look what that cow is doing
in my garden.

Shoo. Shoo.

Beat it, you silly miserable cow.
Beat it.

Oh, it's another one
of those Cartwright cows.

Well, why don't you get them
to repair the damages?

Well, we're supposed
to maintain the line fence.

I can't fix it and the hands
have been too busy.

And I suppose you wouldn't dream
of asking handsome to come over.

No, I wouldn't. Besides--

Oh, it's on the Ponderosa.

They're probably
trying to open a new spring.

Get some fresh water for the cattle.

It's such a hot day, I think
I'll go for a little drive and cool off.

And I've never been to the Ponderosa,
so I might drive by there.

Would you like to come along?
No, I wouldn't.

But you go right ahead if you like.

I might do that.

And I just might do a little
fence-mending of my own.

With all these explosions going on,

are you sure it's not too dangerous
for a lady?

Oh, my boys are doing some
dynamiting a few miles back.

No, you're perfectly safe here, ma'am.
I'm not too sure.

I can hardly believe you're a daddy.

I can see now
where Adam gets his looks.

Heh, heh. Oh, you must--

You must be Laura's
Aunt L" from San Francisco.

Yes.
Well, it's sure a pleasure to meet you.

Sorry we're not better prepared
to welcome you.

Oh, nonsense.
Between your Adam and my Laura,

I feel like a pan of the family.

Of course, I wouldn't dream of
interfering with your work.

But being a woman,
I'd love to see the Ponderosa.

This wonderful place
that Laura keeps talking about.

Well, that niece of yours is
a lovely young woman.

We were very concerned for her
when her husband passed away.

Well, as the good book says,

sometimes these things
areth for the best.

Yeah. I must have missed
that bit of scripture.

I understand your home
is quite a Showplace, Mr. Cartwright.

Well, it's nothing fancy.

I'd love to see it sometime.

Well, of course.
I'd love to show it to you.

Well, perhaps...

Perhaps you and Laura
could come for dinner tomorrow night.

We'd just love that.
That's a marvelous idea.

Good.

Those boys of mine will be
running out of dynamite.

I better get this fresh batch to them.
I have to get back to work now.

This has been
a very rewarding little visit.

See you tomorrow. Goodbye.
Giddyap.

Sure you will.

Hey, we've been waiting for you, Pa.
Who was that?

Oh, uh, one of Dan Cupid's henchmen
or henchwomen.

There were arrows zinging
all over the place.

I guess Adam was lucky
to be out there with you.

Yeah. You know, Adam's been
working a whole lot harder

since he ain't seeing
that gal no more.

But he's a whole lot harder
to live with too.

I don't know which one is the best.

Neither do I, Hoss. Neither do I.

You about ready?

Come in like that a few years ago,

I'd have figured
I was in for a lecture or a tanning.

Neither one.

Just a little fatherly advice.

Well, maybe I'm meddling where
I've no business to be meddling,

but you've been seeing Laura Dayton
pretty regularly since her husband died.

Yes, well, that and horse stealing

seems to be a very serious crime
around here lately.

If you want me to tend
my own business, just say so.

You don't have to be sarcastic.

Now, you can see Laura Dayton
as much as you like.

I wouldn't blame you for that.

You're not aware,

but people around here are beginning
to think of Laura

as Adam Cartwright's property.

That kind of thinking
puts a certain responsibility on you.

Even a certain obligation.

Well, now, Laura is free to keep
company with whomever she chooses.

Would you like to tack that testimonial
on the walls of the post office--?

A man is kind to a woman
who has lost her husband--

Kind? Is that what it is?
You're just being kind to her?

I don't know.

Maybe I am.

You know...

when a man's been single
as long as you have, Adam,

you can't blame him for being
a little spooky about marriage.

But if you're not sure,

absolutely sure,
maybe you ought to back out of this.

It's better than living your life
with the wrong woman.

There, I said it,

and that's the last you're gonna hear
from me on the subject.

Pa, I'll be right down.

What about the Bonner brothers?

If you wanna give those cattle away,

they'll be glad to take them off
your hands.

Oh, they will, will they?

We'll just sit tight
and if they don't come around

we'll drive those cattle down
to the coast ourselves.

Either that or slaughter them.

Why don't we have our coffee
in the living room.

Yes, let's.

My goodness.
I don't know how you men do it.

What's that?

Set a table like that with all
the other men's work you have to do.

Well, glad you liked it.

Still, it must be a chore
after a full day of man's work.

And having to do housework too.

Oh, well, Hop Sing does a very good
job of that, as well as the cooking.

Oh, I know he does.

But I bet you miss the little delicacies,
like pies and cakes,

that women love to make.

Aunt Lil,
Hop Sing is also a very fine baker.

I'm sure he is.

Oh, uh, Ben, I'm dying to see that
stallion you were telling me about.

Now?
Why not? It's bright as day.

Well, of course, if you like.

And Peggy dear,
I'll bet if you're real nice,

Hoss will show you
his egg collection.

Eggs? What eggs, ma'am?

Oh, now, Hoss, be honest.

I never knew a country boy in my life
that didn't have a bird's egg collection.

Oh, ma'am,
that was a long time ago.

Hoss, I think if you looked
in that old chest in the storeroom,

you might find them there.

Along with the butterflies, huh?

Oh, please, Hoss.

Come on, doll.

Well, if, you ladies
have no objection, I think I'll...

I think I'll ride into town.

Ben.

Aunt L" is quite an organizer.

Yes, but a nice organizer.

Pa calls her,
um, Cupid's henchman.

You know, I--
Adam, I'm--

Forget it. Blame it on the weather.

Adam, if I fan myself
with my handkerchief,

will you suggest
that we go outside where it's cooler?

Did Aunt Lil say I would?
Mm-hm.

Would you step outside
in the moonlight?

Why, Adam, what a lovely idea.
Ahem.

Remember the other time
we took a walk in the moonlight?

I remember you kissed me.

I'm afraid I acted rather silly,

but, well, it just didn't seem right
at the time.

How does it seem now?

Well, I don't know.
I haven't any basis for comparison.

Oh.

Oh, Adam, what would I do
without you?

You know, I think I've done you
an injustice, Laura.

How?

Well, you know how much
I've been monopolizing your time lately.

You've been wonderful, Adam.

I haven't given the other fellas
too much of a chance.

I haven't minded.

Neither have I,
but people begin to assume

that I have some sort of
an option on your time.

Adam, what are you trying to say?

Well, I guess what I'm trying to say
is that, well, if you'll have me...

I know I'm putting it badly,
but I'm asking you to be my wife.

You don't put something badly
that you feel.

Adam, you don't owe me anything.

But thank you for your thoughtfulness
and your concern.

Better take this along with you.

Probably no call for it, but sometimes
they're better than food and water.

Oh, Adam.

Can we talk to you a minute?

Rick and I talked it over
and we decided that--

Well, since you folks and us
been such good friends for so long,

we'll take that herd off your hands
for $20 a head.

Well, what I said the other day
still goes.

All right, you get yourself a deal.

We'll make a count, then we'll
leave a draft at the bank in town.

All right, one of the boys
will give you hand.

When do you plan to move them?
Wednesday.

But that's moving day
for your lady friend too, ain't it?

Oh, I guess he hadn't heard.

Well, she's putting the whole kit
and caboodle on the block.

Mommy, can I take my dolls
on the stage?

Just one, dear.

Adam.
Lil.

How are you?
Fine, thank you.

Afternoon, Laura.
Hello, Adam.

Well, heh, sit down, won't you?
Thank you.

Well, if you'll excuse me,
I think I'll help Peggy pack.

I understand you're planning
to sell the ranch.

Mm-hm.

When did you decide?

I finally admitted
I can't run a ranch by myself.

So, Aunt Lil invited us to stay with her
in San Francisco until I get situated.

I see.

Thank you for stopping by, Adam.
It was very neighborly.

Laura, is it because of
what happened the other night?

No, not just the other night.
Maybe it's time I faced the truth.

Well, why all the haste?

Look, I've...

I've been thinking about
what happened the other night and--

Oh, don't, Adam, please.

When it's not there,

a lot of thinking and backtracking
isn't going to put it there.

Aunt L", I wanna take the doll
you gave me,

but I'm afraid the other dolls
will be jealous.

Well, that could be a problem.
Jealousy isn't good for dolls or people.

On the other hand, sometimes
it can be real strong medicine.

I understand, Laura.
Thank you, Adam.

You sure there's nothing
I can do to help?

Oh, yes, there is.

You can come to dinner tonight.

Aunt Lil, we're in no position
to entertain now.

Don't you worry about a thing.
This is my party.

Anyway, we owe Adam a dinner.

Let's call it a going-away party.
After all, you may never see me again.

Well, I, uh...
Wonderful.

And you bring your cousin Will,
and be here at 8:00.

Will?
Yes.

I'm sorry we don't have room
for everyone,

but I'm sure we can manage
the four of us.

I'll ask him.
I'm sure he'll be here if he can.

Aunt Lil, will you please stop
meddling in my life.

You call it meddling
because I invited six people to dinner?

Six?
Yes, six, baby.

Including Peggy
and a green-eyed monster.

Wait a minute.
That was just the beginning.

The stage was still 20 miles outside
of El Paso in real wild country.

More coffee, Will?
I made some fresh for you.

Well, thank you, Lil.

That's the best coffee
I ever had in my life.

Laura showed me her secret.
Laura?

Mm-hm. Baby?
No.

Oh, Adam, I nearly forget you.

Let me warm yours up for you.

It'll just get cold again.

Now hold it tight this time.
I think I've got it.

Oh, I know what I did wrong.
Just once more, Adam, please.

You are a dear.

Well, go on, Will.
I'm dying to hear what happened.

Well, as soon as
the driver reigned in,

right then and there
I knew something was wrong.

You see, there wasn't any
stop schedule for way out there.

Were they bandits?
That's right, Peggy, it was bandits.

Five of the meanest cusses
I ever saw in my life.

Are you sure it wasn't 50?
No, no, just five.

Weren't you scared, Uncle Will?
Well, I think I was.

They looked like real cutthroats.

Were you armed?

All I had was a single-shot derringer.
Little biddy thing didn't mean anything.

So I thought that discretion would be
the better part of valor at the time.

I took my money out--
The large-denomination bills, that is.

--And I shoved the under the seat.
I just tucked them in there.

Good thinking.

Well, go on.
I'm on the edge of my seat.

Me too.

Well, there was this major's wife.

She was coming out from Chicago
to join her husband.

And she had on two of the biggest
diamond rings you ever saw in your life.

So naturally I told her to hide them,
get rid of them fast.

Well, the poor girl, she started pulling
and twisting and turning.

She just couldn't get the rings off.

What'd you do?
Well, I didn't know what to do.

But I realized that if the bandits
ever saw these rings,

they'd have taken them.

Fingers and all.

And just as the bandit leader
opened the door,

I reached over
and grabbed the lady's hand.

As though I were her husband,
you know, comforting her.

Thereby covering the rings.

Did they ever find the rings?

You know something?
They were completely taken in.

Why, I must have held
that lady's hand,

and comforted her and everything
for 15 minutes.

All through the robbery.

And as it turned out
for some time thereafter.

Oh, Will. Heh.

You know,
I'll always be grateful for that lady,

because she had
the presence of mind

to remove her hands from mine before--
Well, before we got to the garrison,

because, well, if her husband,
the major, ever found us like that,

I think we'd have been
better off with the bandits.

Will, if can have my hand back now,

I think I'd better get Peggy
ready for bed.

Adam.

Can you give me a hand?

I'm surprised an ingenious fella
like you

couldn't figure out a way
to handle this all by himself.

Making yourself pretty handy
these days, aren't you? Hmm?

Just helping Laura get her things ready
to ship to San Francisco.

I'd have asked
for your help too, Adam,

but I knew you were still busy
with your cattle sale.

I see.

Did the Bonner boys
move them out yet?

Well, I don't know
if they can even move themselves.

They've spent the entire morning
over there in the saloon.

Well, it's not your worry anymore.

I'll see you before you go.
I have a little something for Peggy.

She'll wanna say goodbye.

But we won't leave for a few days,
so you'll have time.

Bye.

A lot of men would give their right arm
to have you look after them like that.

If I've ever seen a picture
of a jealous man, that's it.

Your plan worked.

Well, what do you mean?
What plan?

I knew what you
and Aunt L" were up to

five minutes
after I got to your place.

That's why I, uh, embellished
the story of that holdup.

Heh. Will, we enjoyed your story.

And I enjoyed helping out.

Although the fact of the matter is

the only other passenger on that stage
was a salesman from back east.

Oh, Will, I am sorry.

Oh, don't apologize.
I enjoyed telling it.

All of it.

Well, so did I.

I mean, we all did.

Except Adam.

Well, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go to the bank.

I'll only be a few minutes.

Jeff, are you sure this stuff is
good for the heat?

Well, sure.
It's better than wind off a snow bank.

Besides, we're getting medicated
in advance

in case we get snakebit on the trail.

Well, if I were you,
I would stop worrying about the snakes

and start worrying about the herd.

Oh, you don't have to worry
your head about our cattle, Adam.

He's got troubles of his own.

What, with that good-looking
Will Cartwright wrestling his sweetie.

One more word and neither one of you
is gonna move that herd.

Oh, come on, Adam.

You ought to be glad
you got the ring out of your nose.

Adam, cool off.

Why don't you two boys get going.

Ah. Shoot. Come on, Rick.

Whiskey is watered anyhow.
Ha, ha, ha.

You watch now.

With that many whiskeys in them,
they'll go riding out of here

like a couple of Comanches
on the warpath.

Yee-ha!

Well, it wasn't our fault.

She oughtn't be standing here
in the street like that.

Baby. Baby.

Now, you get on those horses
and walk out of here.

And if that girl is really hurt,

you start running,
because I'll be coming.

Adam, that poor baby.

Thank you.

She'll be all right.

Outside of a few scratches,

a slight concussion seems to be
the full extent of her injuries.

Oh, thank the good Lord.
Yes, she's a lucky girl.

But a few day's rest
and she'll be back to normal.

May I see her?
I don't know why not, Adam.

Thanks.

Yes, a very lucky girl.

Doctor says you're gonna be all right.
Yes.

Adam, I'm sorry
I gave everyone such a fright.

Well, now that I know you're all right,
maybe it's just as well that it happened.

I don't understand.
What do you mean?

When I was waiting out there
for the doctor

to tell us whether or not you
were seriously hurt, I...

Well, I realized what it would be like
if you went away.

And then I realized that
I need you very much.

I don't want you to go away.
I want you to marry me.

Oh, Adam.

Well...

Your recovery seems very complete,
Laura.

Yes.

Aunt Lil, Adam and I
are going to be married.

Not until you've had that rest
I prescribed, young lady.

Adam, she's your responsibility now,
so take her home right away.

But drive slowly. She can't take
any more bumps just now.

I'll get the rig.
And I promise, no more bumps.

I'll look in on you tomorrow, Laura.

Oh, and, uh, congratulations.

Thank you, doctor.

Well, you won't be needing
me anymore,

so, uh, I guess I'll move along.

Thank you, Will. For everything.

It worked, didn't it?

Aunt L", What worked?
My pressure game.

He proposed, didn't he?

I supposed you even arranged
for the Bonner brothers

to run me down in the street.
Oh, no.

Using Will to make Adam jealous.
That's what did the trick.

All you have to do is
get the right bait in the trap.

That's rule number one.

Well, that's the trouble with traps.
The bait always gets hurt.

Your carriage awaits.

I can walk, Adam.

All right, but not alone.

We set the trap, all right, but
I wonder if we caught the right man.
