Original subtitles

It's all over, Abilene.

They wouldn't want us to mourn over them.

We got the farm to think of.

Sure as to be done.

They left us an awful lot.

If we work hard, we can make them proud of what they left behind.

And if you ever feel lonely and down, remember you got me.

You always got me, Abilene.

I got you.

Todd told me not to come here so often.

He doesn't want me to be so gloomy.

But I miss you both so much.

Todd and I are trying to do what you taught us.

Take care of the farm.

Be decent people.

But I get so lonely sometimes.

Todd is sweet.

I'm lucky to have him.

He's much stronger than I am, though.

Why, he hasn't cried once, even though I know he wants to.

You'd be proud of him.

You're making yourself unhappy again.

I followed you because I knew you'd come here.

Abilene, we've got the whole world of the living in front of us.

That's what they'd want, and you know it.

There's nothing wrong in bringing flowers. I don't mean that.

But it's wrong to brood.

They never let nothing get to them. Neither should we.

Come on.

Let's go back to the house now.

There's a whole parcel of work to be done, young lady.

I know it upsets you when I brood, but honest, Todd, I'm not unhappy.

I miss him, but I've got you, so I'm happy.

I didn't put that last bunch of flowers on the grave.

I wonder who did.

I guess you caught me.

I pulled up another of his flowers, Todd.

Remember how mad that used to make me?

This flower is a lot like me.

Just a little while ago, it was growing in the ground, all the other little

flowers.

Then I pulled it up.

Now it isn't safe anymore.

I miss him too, Abilene.

But...

You don't need to worry about anything.

You know I'll take care of you.

I know you will, Todd.

You better start lunch.

Lord, we give thanks for your goodness.

And your provisions. Amen.

I can finish the corn tomorrow.

And start them beans by Friday.

Good.

It sure does get lonely during the day when you're working so far off from the

house. Yeah.

Sure not like it was when they was here.

No, it isn't.

Of course, we're too long, huh?

I'll be the one who's lonely.

Some old boy will come along here and snatch you right up and take you away

here. Get you married.

Why, Todd Carter, she'd cuff your ears if she heard you talking about things

like that to me.

What things you mean?

Well, you know.

Things.

Things like getting married.

Gentlemen, don't talk about those sort of things when a lady's present.

Well, if she was here, Abilene, she'd talk to you, and so would he.

But they're gone, so it's left for me to do.

It's going to happen before too long, so we might as well just face it.

I think I'll just stay here and be an old maid.

And as long as I'm not going to have any man to help me, you can do the dishes

instead of talking so much.

Oh, no.

Where you going?

Just for a walk.

I think I'll pick some berries.

Hi, Todd.

Nothing wrong, is there?

No, of course not.

Not so much like going to bed yet.

You sleepy?

Uh -uh, not really.

Do you want me to read to you?

We always got sleepy when they read to us, remember?

Yeah, I remember.

Todd, what is wrong?

Please tell me.

Nothing.

I guess I just don't want you to read, that's all.

I just came in to see if you're okay.

Good night, Evelyn.

Good night, Todd.

Good night, Todd.

Todd and I really are lucky.

We have everything they left for us.

And we have each other.

Todd is so handsome.

I wonder if he thinks I'm pretty.

I don't know what's gotten into me.

Abilene is more important to me than anyone in the world.

Maybe, maybe he's been with a girl.

Oh, I shouldn't think about that.

What would Todd think of me?

Hmm.

Oh, I've noticed the way he's been looking at me lately.

I shouldn't feel the way I do.

It isn't normal.

I've got to stop looking at her.

I want to do more than just look.

I hate that.

I like it.

Makes me feel all warm inside.

Almost like a woman.

I wonder if he's ever touched a girl.

But I can't help it.

She's so beautiful.

So innocent.

Her beautiful eyes.

Her hair.

Oh, he's so strong.

Gentle, too.

I wonder what it would feel like to have his hands on my breasts.

Her body?

Oh.

Oh, I mustn't think things like that about Todd, but...

touch me here.

If she knew I was thinking about her like this, she'd throw me out of here.

But I can't stop.

I just can't.

Oh, Todd, I love you.

Abilene. I want you.

I'm as scared as that horse out there.

You always get jumping when we have a storm, don't you?

Oh, God.

Don't ever leave me.

Please don't leave me.

I'll always be here, Evelyn.

I told you.

I'll never leave you.

What's the matter, Todd?

You're as jumpy as a coyote these days.

Nothing! Why are you always asking me what's wrong?

It's just that I worry about you. That's all, Todd.

I'm sorry, Evelyn.

I think I'll go take a walk.

Be back in a little while.

Todd is so strange these days.

I wonder what's bothering him.

Sometimes he looks at me like, like, well, like he wants to kiss me.

I wonder what it would be like to kiss Todd.

Oh, I shouldn't have thoughts like that.

But still.

But you're so woolly today, I think I'll leave you alone.

I'm going down to the creek for a dip.

Well, I guess it's getting time to go to bed.

Chores make me so tired.

Good night, Carl.

Good night.

Just a coyote.

Don't be afraid.

Oh.

Oh.

to look run down.

That's my fault.

I can't concentrate on anything but Abilene these days.

And it's not right.

Oh, I know they'd kill us if they were still here.

I gotta stop it. I gotta realize it's all wrong.

It ain't fair to Abilene.

Maybe I just better find myself a girl.

That'd put things back to normal.

I can't love Abilene.

I need another girl.

Todd, come hook me up.

What's he doing out there?

for a few days.

Did it rain much?

No, it didn't rain at all. Dry, hot.

Mind if I undress, please?

Thank you.

I'll take another one.

Hi there, good -looking.

How would you like to buy a thirsty girl a little drink?

Sure, sure.

Hey, bartender, give the little lady a drink, huh?

And how are your folks?

My, how you grown.

Well, you're a real man now, ain't you?

Thank you, ma 'am.

If she ain't heard, my folks passed away.

And they're under glad news.

Oh, I'm so... You and that pretty little sister of

yours still, you know, have they had the fun?

Yeah, she's out there now.

Why isn't my wife coming home?

She gets off alone.

Well, it's only three miles down the West Road.

Thank you.

Sorry about the door, ma 'am.

Sometimes I forget my manners.

Don't be so scared.

All I want is a bite to eat.

I've been riding hard for two days straight.

It's been rough.

I won't bother you none.

Just give me a bite to eat and I'll move on.

I see. Well, all right.

My husband's gone for just a moment and he'll be right back.

Husband, huh?

Pretty little thing like you would have a husband.

Yes, sir, you sure would.

Taking some chances, ain't he? Going off and leaving you alone out here at

night?

Well, he's just gone for a minute.

So, better eat and get right out.

Ain't that what I asked for?

Grub?

You have to call me ma 'am.

Sir?

Have you called yourself a grown woman before?

No, ma 'am, not like you.

Come on, wait here.

Can we just shut my boots off and kind of get comfy?

Sure.

protect you.

Of course he'll be home.

I think I hear him coming now.

Well, he'll be home any minute.

Oh,

my, the fine eating, ma 'am.

That husband of yours is a real lucky man.

Yes, sir, he sure is.

Thank you.

Well, now that you've eaten, you can go.

If you want to water your horses, there's a pump out in the front yard.

No, no, please don't.

That's what I like, a filly with spirit.

You fixed me something nice, now I'm going to cook something up good for you.

Abilene?

Abilene, come on, wake up, honey. It's me, Todd.

Abilene.

So, you're finally home.

Well, you're just a little bit too late.

Abilene, stop crying.

Tell me what happened here last night.

Please, Abilene.

All right.

I will tell you.

Last night when you were out getting drunk or whatever you were doing, a man

came in here.

A horrible, dirty, filthy man.

He said he wanted food.

So I fed him.

But he didn't just want food.

Oh, no.

He wanted... Who was he?

What do you do? Tell me, Abilene.

Now that it's all over, after you raped me with a stinking, dirty body,

now, now you care.

Where were you last night?

Where were you when I really needed you?

Abilene, stop crying, please.

Who was it? What's he look like?

Tell me.

Tell me, because I swear I'm going to kill him.

I'm going to kill him as sure as I'm sitting here.

Killing isn't going to do any good now.

I don't want you to do anything to him.

Nothing. All I want for you is to get out and leave me alone. Do you

Get out of this house and leave me alone.

What happened here was my fault.

Ever been. All my fault.

I went out pleasuring myself and let this thing happen to you.

All right, Adeline, I'll get out.

But I'm going to find that man, and I'm going to kill him.

Now tell me what he looks like. Tell me, Adeline.

He was big.

He was real big and dirty.

He hadn't shaved in a long time.

His beard was all greasy and dirty.

He said his name was something like Rawhide. Yes, it was Rawhide.

He wore a brown leather vest and it fit real tight over his stomach.

That's all I can remember.

I can't stand to think anymore.

My name is Linda, honey.

I've come to pay Todd a visit.

Well, hello.

You must be Abilene.

Todd told me so much about you last night.

So you're the one he spent the night with.

Well, Todd isn't here now.

In fact, I don't expect him back here at all.

So if you'll just excuse me.

Now, just a minute, honey.

If you're all hot and bothered because of last night, well, let me explain.

Besides, it's been a long ride out here.

I sure could use a drink.

Well, all right.

I guess I can get you a drink of water.

but sure hit the spot.

Now, honey, tell me why you're all upset with Todd.

He hasn't committed any crime.

And he's not a little boy anymore.

I have no desire to speak about Todd with you and Linda.

As I said, I don't expect him back here anymore.

And as I'm terribly busy, I do wish he'd leave.

I didn't know better.

I'd say you were just a little bit jealous, honey.

Don't be ridiculous.

It's just that I've been staying out all night.

He's my brother. I know all about it.

Todd told me last night.

What did he tell you?

Oh, it's all right, honey.

I understand.

I'm your friend.

I like that boy.

They're the mountain of man there.

And I like you too, honey.

If anything that happened at my place last night caused you any hurt, well,

honey, I sure am sorry.

Gee, I sure am sorry.

I'm sorry too, Miss Linda.

I didn't mean to be so rude.

It's just that Todd's never left me alone like this before.

And something terrible happened here last night.

Oh.

There, there now.

Poor little thing.

Sometimes it just takes another woman to fix it all up.

Why don't we go in the other room and you can tell me all about it.

Come on.

That dirty, degraded animal.

The big ape had to pick on a sweet little helpless thing like you.

Poor baby.

You're so understanding, Miss Linda.

I can see why Todd likes you so much.

Just relax now, honey.

What you need after last night is a nice rest and a soft massage to soothe

your nerves.

Why don't you get out of them tight things and let me smooth your troubles

Relax, honey.

Lie down here on the bed.

It's all right.

Sometimes it takes another woman to soothe all your troubles away.

Only another woman knows how to really please you.

Relax.

Close your pretty little eyes and just relax.

Yeah, son, I know him.

Everybody in town knows who I am.

What do you want him for?

I'm going to kill him.

Look, son, he ain't nothing to fool with.

He's a mean one.

You better go on home.

Do you know where I can find him, Charlie?

Nope.

Don't want to know.

And I don't want any trouble in my saloon.

You keep talking that way, boy, you're going to get yourself hurt. Not have as

much hurt as you're going to get.
