I'm sorry.

I wasn't going to let it go. I got it from your sugar.

Let me pay for that.

No, you don't have to. Oh, no, I want to. I knocked it over. It's only right.

No, never mind.

I don't want your money.

I haven't talked to you. Not.

Just keeping an eye on the town.

I brought in some sandwiches.

I'm feeling hungry, as usual, and I prefer not to eat alone.

Sounds good.

Matthew, I've been thinking.

You're welcome to come home for supper more often.

Brian and Colleen miss you, and so do Sully and I.

I've just been busy lately.

I'll come by soon.

Perhaps Saturday?

I guess the bench is down at the house.

Saturday's the only day I can get to.

Remember, there's always a place set for you.

Where you been? I got customers waiting on you. I was at the bank. I only been

gone 15 minutes. I don't care.

And don't go nowhere without telling me.

Next time I'll tell you. Don't walk away from me.

Look, I'm sorry I went out. I just think I ought to be... I don't pay my whores

to think. Let her go, Hank.

What's that?

Sheriff? Let her go.

You're telling me how to run my business?

It don't concern you. I'm telling you to take your hands off her now.

There.

Satisfied?

You got fired.

I like that in a woman.

Make it back to work.

Sheriff.

You shouldn't have done that.

I was trying to help.

Like I said, it don't concern you.

Hey.

I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.

The water, I mean.

No.

Don't worry about that.

It's just I like to fight my own battles.

No kidding?

Well, I gotta go to the store.

Hank's letting me have some time off this afternoon.

Thought I'd take myself on a picnic.

Yeah.

You can come if you want.

On your picnic?

Well, you don't have to.

No. It just sounded like you wanted to come along.

Oh, I didn't mean that.

It sounds real nice.

Matthew,

it's just a picnic.

Yeah.

I'd like to come along.

This afternoon?

That one?

that all about?

Nothing.

She just wanted to apologize for yesterday.

Oh, if you're wrong.

Myra, I've been doing the Telegraph annual reports a lot of years.

And I've been doing percentages for a lot of years.

You have?

We've got to take last year's figures from this year's figures and divide them

by the difference, see? That means we have 35 % more business than we did

That's not the way you do it, honey. On the contrary, Myra's quite right.

I don't see that.

You have quite a head for arithmetic, Myra.

I learned a little here and there.

More than just a little, I'd say.

I'll be.

Something we can do for you, Mr. Lodge.

Preston.

Preston.

I'd like to send an ad to the Denver Post.

Rapidly growing banks in need of experienced sellers. Oh, I thought it

endorsements. It seems I have to expand my search beyond this area.

It's hard to find someone who's as good with figures as you are.

I'll send it out right away.

An intriguing idea.

What's that?

My employing Myra at the bank.

Myra?

Me? Why, your skills would certainly be useful.

And you're quite popular with the town, which would encourage new business for

the bank.

You think?

But I don't have any experience.

I think you deal with customers on a daily basis, and you oversee the

here.

That's true.

It's a prestigious position with a significant salary.

Do you hear that horse?

Myra's not interested.

How do you know?

You are interested.

You can't hurt her. You're a mother.

I should make my own decisions.

There's nothing to deny.

If you should reconsider, she won't.

Thank you for saving my life. Is there anything I can do for you?

And he says, yeah, sure.

You can take the dog for a walk.

More potato salad?

Yeah, thanks.

It's good.

My little brother's favorite.

Only thing I ever learned to cook.

The modern teacher?

No.

But I... So real good. Make all my own dresses.

Gonna open my own shop someday.

Yeah? Got it all figured.

Been saving up every penny.

It's gonna take a little while, but... I'll show him.

Show who?

My ma, for one.

Said whoring's the only thing I'm good for.

Your ma said that?

She saw the devil in me.

Guess she didn't look too hard at my pa.

Anyway, I've been planning this for a long time.

Gotta have a plan or I should go nowhere.

I don't know about that.

I had a plan once, still ended up nowhere.

What are you talking about?

You're the sheriff.

That's somewhere.

Yeah, now my plan was different.

What was it?

I was going to come home every night to a house full of kids and my wife cooking

supper.

So did you really make that dress?

Yeah.

Why, you like it?

Yeah.

You look pretty.

Address?

Why don't you two join Myra?

Looks like she could use some cheering up.

Hey, Myra.

Oh. Hey, Brian. Hey, Colleen.

Um, do you mind if we join you?

Fred, I ain't in such a good mood today.

How come?

I don't know. Seems like I'm in a bad mood a lot lately.

Well, maybe you should do something fun.

I always go fishing at the pond when I'm in a bad mood.

Oh, I used to go up to the pond a lot.

That was a long day.

Maybe we could go there now.

Now?

Well, why not? It would be fun.

I'll bet you I can skip a rock the farthest.

Myra.

What's the matter?

Preston needs a telegram sent to a bank in Boston.

It's a long one, so you've got to take Samantha.

Oh, a little time to myself might be nice. Myra, this is business.

It's a telegram, Horace.

Myra, it's my duty.

He's looking up to you.

Thinking you know all the answers. Yeah.

He's got this picture in his head of what he thinks I am.

And what I want him to think I am.

Hey, lookie here.

Hey.

Don't you wear out, boy.

You got a big night ahead of her.

Big, big night.

I think I'd better walk the rest of the way by myself.

You can't have folks thinking there's something going on there, right?

I suppose not.

Thanks for the picnic.

Looks like you got a rooster in the henhouse, Hank.

Sure does.

It's too great.

Thanks.

Sheriff.

Good morning.

Morning.

What's so funny?

Oh, come on, Matthew. Nothing to be ashamed of.

I didn't say anything.

How come you're all red then?

Relax.

Every man's been with a whore at one time or another. I ain't been with a

Wait, let me explain.

There's nothing to explain.

What he said back there, it's not what he meant.

All right, then do it.

That's not how I feel.

How do you feel?

I don't know.

I gotta go.

Look,

I don't expect nothing from you.

except for maybe being my friend.

You wrote where you considered my offer.

I'd love to, Mr. Lodge. Preston.

Preston, that horrible hero.

I believe we won the war against slavery, Myra.

It ain't like that. It's just that...

Well, I got the Nancy here. And the bank has a back room, which is perfect for a

crib.

You do that?

Of course, for someone as exceptional as you.

Oh, that's mighty flattering. Not flattery. I can assure you.

The bank is growing fast, and there's a future for you there.

A lot of you can climb straight to the top.

I believe in you, Mama.

I'll think about it.

Need a hand?

Two or three.

You're doing a good job at the place.

Doing this and being sheriff, I keep myself pretty busy.

Don't leave much time for socializing, does it?

She's just a friend.

Oh.

Women.

All they do is confuse me.

You know, the first second that I saw Ingrid, I knew that I was in love with

her.

I just don't know if I'm ever gonna feel that way again.

Probably not.

You can't expect to.

There's different women.

There can be different kinds of love.

How do you even know if it is love?

You let your heart tell you.

Just make sure it's your heart that's doing the talking.

to wear that hat?

I always wear this hat. Keeps the chill out.

Why can't you wear a normal hat?

Because it's my hat.

Billy's looking.

Myra, what has gotten into you?

Nothing.

I don't know.

This is because what Preston asked you, isn't it?

Maybe.

Well, if it's that important to you, I suppose you can take that job if

you want to.

Really?

How hard.

Wait a minute.

Did you just give me permission to take that job?

Well, yeah.

Well, why would I need your permission?

Because you're my wife. I'm your wife, not something you own like that stupid

hat.

You can just do what you want.

I will take that job.

Fine.

It's me. It's me. It's just me.

What are you doing?

I know exactly what you're doing.

No, it's not what it looks like. I'm sorry. I'm just here to go.

Wait.

Come here.

I'll teach you to go fine.

Oh, yeah?

I gotta go.

Wait a minute. What's wrong?

I can't be doing this.

Where's his friends?

Let me take you back to town. Please, Matthew.

You're gonna mess everything up. What, with Hank?

I'll take care of him.

Hank's got nothing to do with it.

Let me go, okay?

Here it is.

Let's turn on this cat here.

What are you doing, honey?

Taking him for a walk.

See you, Matthew.

See you.

Horace, can I ask you something personal?

No. All right.

Look, I've been wondering.

Well, has Pat ever come between you two?

Why would it?

Yeah, I suppose Pat has a way of falling away when you're happy as Myra is,

right? Of course she's happy.

Who wouldn't be happier as a wife than a... You know what?

That's what I figured.

Nothing has ever come between me and Myra except her contract with Hank.

Supper. With your family?

Why?

Because you'll like them.

Well, they won't like me.

Sure they will.

I want you to meet Dr. Mike.

Talk to her.

About what?

About anything.

She's got a lot of interesting ideas.

Well, are you sure they won't mind having somebody like me over?

Dr. Mike likes all new friends.

Let's see.

Hey, Hank.

Didn't hear you knock.

Where you going?

My night out.

Ain't no more.

We got busy.

Busy? He's working for me. I need you, too.

Well, I'm afraid you'll have to make do.

I've got other plans.

I used to keep my girls in line at the back of my hand.

Well, it used to be means you gave it up.

Probably because it don't work.

So you built this all by yourself?

Well, I had some help, but I did most of it by hand.

I wanted to do it upright for my family.

It's a good pot roast, Dr. Mike.

Oh, yeah, really, it did.

Thank you.

Dr. Mike didn't always used to cook so good.

Colleen's still a far better chef than I am.

You've learned a lot, though.

I guess.

Anybody can learn anything, right, Dr. Mike?

If they have the inclination.

So, Matthew said you're thinking about opening up a dress shop.

Someday.

Well, our town could certainly use a good seamstress.

How come you don't just be a seamstress now?

Then you won't have to work for Hank.

Brian, I don't think that's... It's all right.

Being a seamstress is a good job, Brian.

But I'd be old and grey before I'd save enough to buy my own place.

This way I can get the money sooner.

But there are other jobs that pay good.

For girls?

Dr. Mike makes a good living.

Not many girls have the opportunity to have the education I had.

Still, there are other things that you can do.

I mean, look at Myra. Dr. Mike...

Tell Emma about Myra and how she tore up her contract with Hank. You could do

the same thing.

I don't have a contract.

You don't have a contract?

My family, they... They like you.

You're real polite.

Mom. Thanks.

I guess I should go.

I suppose so.

Emma.

I know that we're supposed to be friends.

What? I just keep thinking that maybe

one more.

I gotta go.

Emma, wait.

Thanks for supper.

Matthew.

Will you speak to me?

I'm not sure a relationship with Emma is promising.

But you never said that to Horace.

Matthew, Myra wanted to quit.

Emma apparently doesn't. She didn't mean that.

I know it.

Matthew. I'm not giving up on her.

It's a lovely evening, isn't it?

I'll take it.

The job?

Wonderful. I'm so pleased.

I knew Horst would come around.

Well, I'll see you first thing Monday morning at the bank.

Oh, all right.

This is the beginning of a whole new life for you.

Well, what do you know?

Mrs. Bean's a working girl again.

Don't seem too happy.

Of course I am.

In fact, you don't seem too happy at all lately.

Why wouldn't I be?

I've got a good husband and a beautiful baby, and now I have a great job.

What else can I want?

I don't know.

That look in your eye.

What look?

That same look you had when...

Good night, Kelly.

Good night.

Mom will be up in a minute. She's just making herself some tea.

Thanks. And Brian's gone to bed already.

Good.

Are you, uh, mind your mind, Kelly?

Kelly, I'll be there in a minute.

Kelly, do you like Emma?

She seemed like a nice girl.

I guess.

But... But now that Matthew's sheriff, don't you think he should be worrying

about what the town thinks?

Well, what do you think?

Well, I think that people might feel that being one of Hank's girls...

Well, you know.

Yeah.

But you didn't answer my question.

Well, I want Matthew to be happy.

Well, then maybe we ought to give Emma a chance.

For Matthew's sake.

Just because she doesn't have a contract with Hank don't mean she's happy with

what she's doing.

Good night, Sally.

Good night.

Let her go.

What's that?

Matthew, don't. She don't want to be with you.

Well, she's paid for in full, so I don't much care what she wants. I said let

her go.

I do hope you're going to try and make me do it. Do it and you'll have to deal

with me, Sheriff.

Let me handle this.

What are you doing?

Guy. It was my business.

Mine. And I can't have you barging in every time.

Listen to me. You're just confused.

I was until you came around.

Now I can't even do my job. Then quit.

I don't want to. What do you want? I've got my plan.

Plan?

That's right.

And you ain't in it. Not you. Not anybody.

Unless you're paying for it.

Hey, Mama.

Hey.

Did you get my gun?

He went to check on Mrs. Heller's drop scene. He said she woke him up.

Feeling poorly?

No. I don't know.

I've got a headache.

I wasn't thinking too much.

Must be going around.

Sometimes I wish I could just stop friends so much.

Just be happy with the way things are.

Thought you were.

Yeah, well, I think they know what they seem.

But you're happier now than you were before, right?

Oh, sure.

Sure I am.

Do you ever wish that you just didn't feel a certain way, but you do, and

You can't stop it no matter how hard you try.

Don't get me wrong. I love Horace with all my heart.

It's just... Just what?

When I left Hank, I thought I was going to be a different person.

I thought I was going to be Mrs. Horace Bing.

And you are.

But see, I thought that would be enough.

Boris?

Morning, sonny.

Can you post this for me?

Still in the Bureau of Indian Affairs?

Sure. Oh, I got some mail for you and Dr. Mike.

Myra starts a new job at the bank today, huh?

Yeah.

Will you tell her I said good luck?

Sure.

Here it is.

Thanks.

Oh, sorry.

After Dr.

Mike has the baby, are you going to let her keep working?

What's so funny?

Let her?

Talking about the same doctor, Mike?

I see your point.

But doesn't it ever bother you?

It would bother me more if she wasn't happy.

Thanks.

Myra, welcome to your first day at work. Well, I... I have something for you.

It's beautiful.

Let me show you to your desk.

Come around.

Our hours are from 10 to 3. We're closed on Sundays.

Here are your keys.

And I always take my lunch at noon.

President, I can't.

I know there's a lot to learn, but you're going to do just fine. So, let's

at the beginning. Tim, please, I'm trying to tell you something. Yes?

It's just that Horace really doesn't want me to take his job, and I'm sorry,

I cannot.

Good luck with your new job, Lyra.

Oh, Horace.

Well, it certainly off to a good start.

Lousy whore.

You

better

get

over the saloon. There's trouble.

I'll turn him down. Hank's about to throw him out there.

You can arrest him.

Stay away from her, understand?

I ain't letting go of this one.

I'll go with you. I want to see how he's doing.

He did?

You never know.

He'll be yet.

Then again...

Sometimes instead of bird -free, it flies right on back.
