1
00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:10,710
Aldrich Brown.

2
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:13,290
Name sounds familiar.

3
00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:14,870
You read the papers, don't you, Judge?

4
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:26,550
And I collected the $2 ,000 reward last
night in the city.

5
00:01:27,470 --> 00:01:31,050
Returning, you pushed a bus driver from
his car, drove to Carvel, ignoring

6
00:01:31,050 --> 00:01:34,270
scheduled stops and the protests of the
frightened passengers.

7
00:01:34,610 --> 00:01:38,970
The form of charge is disorderly
conduct, operating a bus without a

8
00:01:39,110 --> 00:01:43,150
driving while intoxicated, a technical
charge of grand theft, and kidnapping 17

9
00:01:43,150 --> 00:01:45,990
people. Technicalities. It was only a
celebration.

10
00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:50,610
You believe it proper to ignore the
rights of others because of that halo

11
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:51,630
wear around your head?

12
00:01:52,780 --> 00:01:57,420
Let me tell you, young man, that a halo
has to drop a very short distance before

13
00:01:57,420 --> 00:01:58,620
it becomes a noose.

14
00:01:58,860 --> 00:02:02,600
I fine you $100. I've got it right here
in my pocket.

15
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,980
And 30 days in the county jail.

16
00:02:05,340 --> 00:02:06,900
You got that in your pocket, too?

17
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:14,360
Court will recess for 30 minutes.

18
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,160
Take him away, deputy.

19
00:02:18,380 --> 00:02:20,460
Hey, wait a minute now. Listen to...

20
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,600
Isn't every day we get a visit from our
sister -in -law? Sit down.

21
00:02:29,140 --> 00:02:30,340
This letter, James.

22
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:32,180
I thought I'd better bring it here.

23
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,880
From Dora Northcott?

24
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,400
She was Dora Martin.

25
00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:41,620
You remember.

26
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:47,140
Yes, yes. I used to go with her before I
met Emily.

27
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,320
Wasn't she the one?

28
00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:52,340
Something about a Sunday school picnic
and you two got lost?

29
00:02:53,220 --> 00:02:54,520
We got left behind.

30
00:02:55,950 --> 00:02:57,930
I'd almost forgotten that old scandal.

31
00:02:58,490 --> 00:03:02,990
The truth is she'd lost her Indian
blanket, and while we were looking for

32
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:04,650
the trolley car went off and left us.

33
00:03:05,150 --> 00:03:07,010
The talk that caused.

34
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:11,510
Millie, I haven't been able to stand the
sight of an Indian blanket since.

35
00:03:12,570 --> 00:03:14,910
I always wondered what Emily thought.

36
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:17,490
She never said anything. She couldn't
have heard.

37
00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:22,050
You know, Millie, in every married life,
there's one subject that just isn't

38
00:03:22,050 --> 00:03:23,050
discussed.

39
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:26,460
And in the 30 years that Emily and I
have been married, we've never once

40
00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:28,020
mentioned that picnic.

41
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,820
That's why I brought the letter here.

42
00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:33,060
Oh.

43
00:03:36,020 --> 00:03:40,220
Oh, this is an invitation from Dora and
Bill to visit their ranch.

44
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,900
That'd be a long way to go, wouldn't it?

45
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,160
We're in trouble, Millie.

46
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,460
We need help.

47
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,760
What Bill Northcott did for me when we
were together in college means I'd go to

48
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,080
the ends of the earth to help him.

49
00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:53,940
Now, let's see.

50
00:03:54,740 --> 00:03:58,660
I can get Judge Bathgate from Lyndhurst
to come over here and sit in my court

51
00:03:58,660 --> 00:04:00,980
for me and... You'll have to go alone,
James.

52
00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:03,680
You'll never pry Emily loose from her
spring renovating.

53
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:06,220
She's half crazy in an orgy of house
cleaning.

54
00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:08,740
Mother, have you seen the iron?

55
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,600
Iron?

56
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,520
Oh, I brought it down from the sewing
room so Andy could fix the cord. Well, I

57
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,079
finished my dress and I want to press it
before Dennis gets here.

58
00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:20,339
Oh, for goodness sake, wait. I'll look.

59
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,520
At least I know how to look for things
when I don't know where they are.

60
00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:26,340
Oh, here.

61
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:27,620
Oh, thank you.

62
00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:31,040
Mother, do you think my dress looks as
though it weren't homemade?

63
00:04:31,780 --> 00:04:33,880
You mean, will Mr. Dennis Hunt think so?

64
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,280
Well, he's been in New York a couple of
months, and I want to look as nice as

65
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:38,259
that debutante.

66
00:04:38,260 --> 00:04:40,720
Oh, running around with a debutante, was
he?

67
00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:41,980
Who told you?

68
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,080
Oh, he wrote me.

69
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,840
We tell each other everything. We
believe in absolute frankness.

70
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,340
Things have changed since my young days.

71
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,860
We're sophisticated and modern, darling.

72
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,680
Hmm, maybe.

73
00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:56,520
Don't forget to take the cord out when
you finish with that iron.

74
00:04:57,020 --> 00:05:00,100
And when Andy comes in, tell him to take
those old clothes down to the Salvation

75
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:01,100
Army.

76
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,800
Oh, hiya, Polly.

77
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,660
I didn't know you were so tired.

78
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,700
Maybe we'd better not go swimming.

79
00:05:24,020 --> 00:05:27,900
Gee, me tired? Why, say, I've got pep
enough to swim the Atlantic Ocean.

80
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,320
Why'd you say that?

81
00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:33,420
Well, usually you have enough energy to
walk up the front steps and ring the

82
00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:37,340
doorbell. Uh, you women are getting so
you want to be waited upon all the time.

83
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:40,860
Just because you won your letter in
basketball, don't think you can toot

84
00:05:40,860 --> 00:05:45,060
horn and I'll come running. The day of
the squaw is over. Here, take my suit.

85
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,220
Well, you're going to get a treat today
anyway. I'm going to dive off the 20

86
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:49,220
-foot board.

87
00:05:49,260 --> 00:05:50,640
Oh, Andy, you don't dare.

88
00:05:50,980 --> 00:05:53,020
Why, the instructor says it's only for
professionals.

89
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:54,380
Well, you watch me.

90
00:05:55,260 --> 00:05:58,780
If you don't stop all this showing off
and doing all these crazy things.

91
00:05:59,060 --> 00:06:00,440
Well, I get away with them, don't I?

92
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,040
He'll kill himself.

93
00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:19,680
Andy, I forbid you to die from that
board.

94
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,940
Did they forbid Julius Caesar to cross
the Alps? Did they forbid Alexander the

95
00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:25,060
Great to conquer the world?

96
00:06:25,420 --> 00:06:26,420
Andy, please.

97
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,020
destiny calls upon Andy Hardy to be a
great diver, does Andy Hardy refuse the

98
00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:48,859
golden crown?

99
00:06:48,860 --> 00:06:50,760
No. A thousand times no.

100
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,720
Andrew, that's one of the prettiest
dives I've ever seen.

101
00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:58,420
But don't do it again.

102
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,260
Because if the dive doesn't break their
neck, I will.

103
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,500
Don't you see, Andy? It's the principle
of the thing. The principle of my swan

104
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:08,500
dive was okay.

105
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,740
Ever since you won that letter in
basketball, I can't get you to be

106
00:07:12,740 --> 00:07:15,520
me. You're so cute, Polly. How can I?

107
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,900
Don't you go acting like a college boy
with me, Andy Hardy. Who do you think

108
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:19,900
are?

109
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,680
Well, for the moment, I'm America's gift
to the fair sex.

110
00:07:23,980 --> 00:07:24,980
Ah,

111
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:28,320
but I expect to find new worlds to
conquer. Who knows?

112
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,480
History may record the name Andrew Hardy
alongside of Washington, Lincoln,

113
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,940
Lindbergh, and... And Humpty Dumpty, who
fell off the wall and nobody could put

114
00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:37,940
the pieces together again.

115
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,480
Listen, little lady.

116
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,000
The day Andy Hardy breaks up an admiring
public will flock to buy the little

117
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
pieces as souvenirs.

118
00:07:44,460 --> 00:07:46,460
You're so conceited, you're impossible.

119
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,940
Conceited? Say, listen, I'm getting
tired of that. Just because I have the

120
00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:53,520
initiative to do what I want and I
always come out on top.

121
00:07:55,860 --> 00:07:57,860
Andy, please don't let's have a fight.

122
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,880
I'm only thinking of your own good.

123
00:08:00,740 --> 00:08:03,640
And, well, besides, I'm having a party
on the 5th.

124
00:08:03,940 --> 00:08:04,940
A party?

125
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,940
Any special kind of party?

126
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:08,540
It's a costume party.

127
00:08:09,230 --> 00:08:13,850
I've been trying to ask you all
afternoon, but you've been so, so

128
00:08:13,890 --> 00:08:15,250
there you go again, nagging.

129
00:08:15,570 --> 00:08:18,390
Won't you women understand if there's
one thing a man can't put up with, it's

130
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:20,930
nagging? Polly Benedict, you're
henpecking me.

131
00:08:21,610 --> 00:08:24,570
Listen, where a man's life is concerned,
a woman's got to stay in the

132
00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:27,290
background. A man's got to do what he
feels he should do.

133
00:08:27,610 --> 00:08:28,750
It's his destiny.

134
00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:31,650
Very well, then.

135
00:08:32,130 --> 00:08:36,289
Since you always do what you want to do,
I hope for your sake you don't want to

136
00:08:36,289 --> 00:08:37,289
go with me anymore.

137
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:39,280
Because I'm not going with you.

138
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:41,299
Yeah,

139
00:08:45,340 --> 00:08:46,560
what do I care?

140
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,240
What's one girl to a bachelor who has a
tuxedo in his own automobile?

141
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:08,690
Why don't you look where you're going?

142
00:09:09,010 --> 00:09:10,910
What are you doing sitting over there in
the dark?

143
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:15,510
What's all this junk?

144
00:09:16,050 --> 00:09:19,230
That's a box of magazines that Mother
wants you and Dad to carry out to the

145
00:09:19,230 --> 00:09:22,010
garage. Gee, it looks like a cyclone hit
the joint.

146
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:23,450
Well, you know Mother.

147
00:09:23,850 --> 00:09:25,130
Spring housecleaning.

148
00:09:25,830 --> 00:09:28,230
You, of course, wouldn't understand a
woman's problems.

149
00:09:28,730 --> 00:09:30,250
What's the matter? You had a fight with
Dennis?

150
00:09:30,810 --> 00:09:31,810
Certainly not.

151
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:35,030
Yeah, you always moon around when you're
not.

152
00:09:36,839 --> 00:09:40,440
Alone, alone on a night that was meant
for love.

153
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:43,300
That's too childish even to notice.

154
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,120
Yeah, well, the children of today are
the men of tomorrow. Remember that, my

155
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,680
dear sister. That was said by, uh...
Well, somebody said it anyway.

156
00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:54,580
Get out. I want to type a letter. I got
a theme to write. Besides, the

157
00:09:54,580 --> 00:09:55,580
typewriter's half mine.

158
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,640
Well, I saw it first. Do it by longhand.

159
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,200
Longhand? Why, you know my writing is as
bad as yours.

160
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,440
Oh, I think you're mean.

161
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,000
Oh, well, she's screaming her head off
because I got the typewriter first. Oh,

162
00:10:07,020 --> 00:10:10,640
Marion, stop it. And you stop being a
bully. I'm too tired to have any problem

163
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,640
children on my hands.

164
00:10:11,780 --> 00:10:13,340
If you want to fight, go out in the
backyard.

165
00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:15,220
Of course, Mother.

166
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,360
Yeah.

167
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,320
Gee, this spring cleaning is getting Mom
down, you know that?

168
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,760
I'll stay home all day tomorrow and help
her.

169
00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:23,460
Then I'll beat rugs till I drop.

170
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,400
There's Danch.

171
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,400
Hi, Dad.

172
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:30,520
Hello, Annie.

173
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:31,560
Hello, Marion.

174
00:10:31,950 --> 00:10:35,210
See, I want to warn you, Dad. Man to
man, Mom's on the warpath. I'm going to

175
00:10:35,210 --> 00:10:36,270
upstairs and get out of sight.

176
00:10:37,210 --> 00:10:39,070
Might even put on a clean shirt for
dinner.

177
00:10:41,490 --> 00:10:43,450
Well, what's all this?

178
00:10:43,830 --> 00:10:45,310
Marion, James, supper's waiting.

179
00:10:46,010 --> 00:10:49,130
There's only soup and bread because I'm
spring cleaning. But that's good enough

180
00:10:49,130 --> 00:10:49,789
for anybody.

181
00:10:49,790 --> 00:10:51,910
What about Augusta? What?

182
00:10:52,510 --> 00:10:53,469
Augusta, the cook.

183
00:10:53,470 --> 00:10:54,470
Oh, she left.

184
00:10:54,610 --> 00:10:57,750
Said she couldn't stay in a madhouse.
Not that there's anything mad about

185
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:59,990
cleaning that I can see. Come on, come
on, come on.

186
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,320
Come on, everybody, hurry up.

187
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,680
Why, this is good soup, Emily.

188
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:20,500
One thing about soup, at least it fills
you up quick.

189
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,600
Bread, anybody?

190
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:26,060
No, thank you.

191
00:11:29,660 --> 00:11:30,660
How's Dennis, Marion?

192
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,480
Fine.

193
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,000
I got a letter today from an old friend
of ours.

194
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,280
Oh, my goodness.

195
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,000
Oh, Marion, what's the matter?

196
00:11:42,340 --> 00:11:45,620
I just knocked over a plant. Boy, it
couldn't have been lightning. There

197
00:11:45,620 --> 00:11:46,299
any rain.

198
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:49,880
Now, just keep still, everybody. The
lights will come on in a minute. They're

199
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,780
just switching the current in the
powerhouse.

200
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:55,260
Well, gee, they got lights on next door.
We must have blew out a fuse, Mom.

201
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,340
Oh. It's the electric iron. I forgot to
disconnect it. Here we are.

202
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,000
Here are candles. Oh.

203
00:12:01,780 --> 00:12:02,780
Here, Marion.

204
00:12:03,460 --> 00:12:04,780
Take one of these candles.

205
00:12:05,220 --> 00:12:07,160
Hurry along and retest that iron.

206
00:12:07,580 --> 00:12:09,200
Marion, I warned you about that iron.

207
00:12:09,420 --> 00:12:11,660
Oh, I'm so sorry, Mother. Really, I'm
sorry.

208
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:13,120
I'll put in a new fuse, Mom.

209
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,120
Andy, honey, don't you touch another
thing. Oh, I can fix it, Mom. We're out

210
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,100
fuses. Andy used the last one this
morning trying to fix the washing

211
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:20,980
Andy! Now, now, now, Mother.

212
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,180
I thought I told you to bring some
fuses.

213
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,740
Well, I forgot.

214
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,720
It's plain where the children get their
poor memory.

215
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,100
I fixed it, Mom.

216
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,320
I fixed it.

217
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,060
I fixed it with a penny. A penny?

218
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,760
Andy Hardy, do you want to set fire to
the house?

219
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,360
I can't get the simplest kind of help
from anybody.

220
00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:42,900
Everything that's not in this house I
have to do myself.

221
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,200
But I'm not going to anymore.

222
00:12:44,460 --> 00:12:48,660
If none of you are interested enough to
cooperate, I don't see why I should kill

223
00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:49,660
myself.

224
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,960
You were quite right, and we apologize.

225
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,860
I guess I'll rest a bit before I do the
dishes.

226
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:11,800
I'll take care of them.

227
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,200
I'll wipe them, too, Mom. One at a time.
No wet towels, either.

228
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:18,140
I can't understand it.

229
00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:21,360
That's the first time my nerves have
ever gotten the best of me.

230
00:13:21,820 --> 00:13:24,800
Well, Emily, I believe you're entitled
to that awful little steam.

231
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,780
You were so splendid when your mother
was sick, and you came right back here

232
00:13:28,780 --> 00:13:30,020
this house without any rest.

233
00:13:30,990 --> 00:13:32,630
I think you need a little change.

234
00:13:33,270 --> 00:13:35,330
Gee, any change from here would be
swell, Dad.

235
00:13:35,810 --> 00:13:37,930
That's a letter I was going to read to
you.

236
00:13:38,210 --> 00:13:39,370
That's from the Northcots.

237
00:13:39,870 --> 00:13:42,770
They seem to be in a little trouble, and
I believe I could help them.

238
00:13:43,410 --> 00:13:46,150
Maybe going to their ranch would do us
all some good.

239
00:13:46,350 --> 00:13:47,289
A ranch?

240
00:13:47,290 --> 00:13:50,050
Oh, boy, Dad, can I have a six -shooter?
Will we leave right away?

241
00:13:50,370 --> 00:13:53,670
Well, now, wait, wait, wait just a
minute. You know, going to a ranch, that

242
00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:54,670
means roughing it.

243
00:13:55,070 --> 00:13:58,510
This experience we've just had with the
lights, how helpless we were when the

244
00:13:58,510 --> 00:14:00,150
electricity failed, well...

245
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:03,600
Maybe it would do us all some good if we
went where they didn't have modern

246
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,900
conveniences. But, James, a ranch.

247
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,320
Ranches are all out west, aren't they?

248
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:12,860
Well, there seems to be more room out
there.

249
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,580
We don't have any more trouble with the
Indians, do we?

250
00:14:17,980 --> 00:14:18,980
Indians?

251
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,920
Well, this is it.

252
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,660
It's so, so big, isn't it, out west?

253
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:50,320
My mother, this is only a small part of
the 700 million acres of open country in

254
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,320
the United States.

255
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,220
Gee, I never saw such a wide place that
went on for so long.

256
00:14:54,980 --> 00:14:56,420
Plenty of room to rough it.

257
00:14:56,620 --> 00:14:59,820
It's quite lonely, too, isn't it? No
social life.

258
00:15:05,710 --> 00:15:06,710
Here comes somebody.

259
00:15:07,210 --> 00:15:08,570
Maybe it's a mirage.

260
00:15:12,130 --> 00:15:17,430
Well, Jim Hardy, am I glad to see you.
Bill, am I glad to see you.

261
00:15:18,410 --> 00:15:20,870
Oh, now, cut, you're getting gray.

262
00:15:21,210 --> 00:15:23,750
That from you, Hardy, you whited
sepulcher.

263
00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:26,630
You're right, you're right, boy.

264
00:15:27,090 --> 00:15:28,570
Time's creeping up on us.

265
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:29,870
Oh, mother.

266
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,220
Mother, this is... I've been hearing
about you for years, Mrs. Hardy.

267
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,840
And this must be your sister.

268
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,440
And Marion and Andrew.

269
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:39,960
Gee, Mr. Northcott, you got automobiles
out here on the desert. I thought we'd

270
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,980
have to hop a camel to get to the
nearest oasis.

271
00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:44,800
I'm sorry to disappoint you, Andrew.

272
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,200
Well, my men will take your luggage.
Shall we get going?

273
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,600
Yes, it'll do us good to go where we
have no modern conveniences.

274
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,120
Nora! Nora!

275
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,020
We're such a charming family, James. I
can understand why you look so well.

276
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,060
Of course, you'll want to freshen up a
bit and have a nice cool tub.

277
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,200
Mr. Northcott!

278
00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:37,879
What is it, Ray?

279
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,880
Excuse me, Mr. Northcott, but Bruxton
shot our water off.

280
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,760
And there's over a thousand head of
steer ready to ship in the North Corral.

281
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,000
Well, he can't do that yet. He wants his
check every day in advance now.

282
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:48,500
He'll have it in an hour.

283
00:16:48,820 --> 00:16:50,900
Thanks, boss. That beef sure needs water
quick.

284
00:16:56,460 --> 00:16:57,520
Gosh, who is that?

285
00:16:58,540 --> 00:17:00,040
That's our foreman, Ray Holt.

286
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,640
A thousand head of steer in the North
Corral.

287
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,000
Say, I'm going to like this place,
partner. It's a man's country.

288
00:17:10,060 --> 00:17:11,839
have to wash in old round tubs.

289
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,359
What did you say?

290
00:17:14,540 --> 00:17:15,660
Oh, you wouldn't understand.

291
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:18,579
What on earth have you got up for?

292
00:17:19,380 --> 00:17:22,980
Well, the rest of you tenderfeet can
wallow in luxury if you want to. I'm

293
00:17:22,980 --> 00:17:24,460
to be western if it kills me.

294
00:17:24,780 --> 00:17:27,839
Well, you do too much horseback riding
the first day, and it certainly will.

295
00:17:50,929 --> 00:17:52,250
Well. Isn't it, darling?

296
00:17:53,170 --> 00:17:54,530
Aunt Dora gave it to me.

297
00:17:54,790 --> 00:17:58,010
Who? Well, I'm going to call Aunt Dora
and Uncle Bill. Come on.

298
00:18:01,790 --> 00:18:03,010
They seem to approve.

299
00:18:03,390 --> 00:18:06,770
Marion, you look charming, dear. We'll
have to keep you here to decorate the

300
00:18:06,770 --> 00:18:08,790
place. I'm going outside and see
everything.

301
00:18:09,670 --> 00:18:11,750
But I thought we'd be camping out.

302
00:18:12,070 --> 00:18:13,630
Let me show you around, Mrs. Hardy.

303
00:18:13,890 --> 00:18:14,950
We'll start with the kitchen.

304
00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:16,190
That's my department.

305
00:18:18,250 --> 00:18:19,830
Here we are, right out. Well,

306
00:18:21,790 --> 00:18:24,130
Jim, it's been a long time.

307
00:18:24,450 --> 00:18:26,070
Shall we sit down and visit?

308
00:18:26,650 --> 00:18:28,430
This room was made for that.

309
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:31,590
Mr. Bruxton is here. He's in the den.

310
00:18:32,030 --> 00:18:33,030
Thank you, Jose.

311
00:18:35,410 --> 00:18:37,110
Bruxton's the man who's trying to buy
our ranch.

312
00:18:37,530 --> 00:18:38,529
Buy it?

313
00:18:38,530 --> 00:18:40,090
Well, I didn't know it was for sale.

314
00:18:40,430 --> 00:18:42,070
He's trying to force us to sell.

315
00:18:43,010 --> 00:18:45,090
And we can't sell, Jim. Our whole life
is here.

316
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:47,750
There's another reason.

317
00:18:48,719 --> 00:18:52,380
Bill doesn't know, but the doctor
doesn't want him to go back east.

318
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:54,100
Bill?

319
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,960
No, Dora.

320
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,960
It's not too bad.

321
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,060
They say he could live to be 90 if he
stays out in this climate.

322
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:03,500
Well, then he must stay.

323
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,760
That's why I had the courage to write to
you, Jim.

324
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,800
After all, you know, you did introduce
Bill and me.

325
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,480
Yes, I remember.

326
00:19:12,180 --> 00:19:15,120
I brought him down to visit Carvel
during the school vacation.

327
00:19:16,659 --> 00:19:20,280
Tell me, what's this man Braxton's hold
on the situation?

328
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,540
He owns the stream from which we get our
water. And out here, unless you get

329
00:19:24,540 --> 00:19:25,540
water.

330
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,040
Our contract with him expires next
month. He won't renew. He wants to take

331
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,040
the place.

332
00:19:31,260 --> 00:19:32,260
Oh.

333
00:19:32,660 --> 00:19:34,140
Western racketeer, huh?

334
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:36,160
I don't know which way to turn.

335
00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:40,440
That's why I wrote you, Jim. I thought
with your experience on water rights...

336
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,860
Well, now, don't you worry.

337
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,540
At least not yet.

338
00:19:44,140 --> 00:19:45,940
I'll have a look at this stream of
Bruxelles.

339
00:19:46,140 --> 00:19:49,260
And, of course, I'll do everything
that's humanly possible.

340
00:19:50,660 --> 00:19:52,960
You seem to be happy and contented, Jim.

341
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,020
Well, Dora, I've been blessed with good
fortune and the finest family to ever

342
00:19:57,020 --> 00:20:02,040
live. And I would be ungrateful if I
didn't try to save your happiness for

343
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,740
Oh, Dora, do you mind if I ask you...

344
00:20:12,969 --> 00:20:14,550
Don't ever mention that picnic.

345
00:20:18,610 --> 00:20:20,070
Mum's the word, Jim Hardy.

346
00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:30,950
I'll see what I can do with him, Tex.

347
00:21:15,530 --> 00:21:16,950
There's a horse you can ride now, Tex.

348
00:21:21,690 --> 00:21:26,170
Good morning. You're Miss Marion.

349
00:21:26,430 --> 00:21:29,810
And you're Mr. Holt, the foreman. I'm
pleased to meet you, ma 'am. Can I show

350
00:21:29,810 --> 00:21:30,809
you around the place?

351
00:21:30,810 --> 00:21:31,509
Will you?

352
00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:32,510
I sure will.

353
00:22:06,540 --> 00:22:07,540
Isn't it a swell morning?

354
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:09,720
Say, I'll bet you're the foreman. Glad
to know you, partner.

355
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,560
Like to see you brand some cattle
sometime.

356
00:22:12,260 --> 00:22:15,780
Marion? Ah, you don't look half bad.
That is, for a girl that takes an hour

357
00:22:15,780 --> 00:22:16,599
comb her hair.

358
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,100
I suppose you know this is my little
brother, Mr. Holt.

359
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,419
Little brother.

360
00:22:20,420 --> 00:22:21,860
Oh, she still thinks I'm in robbers.

361
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,740
Say, I'll bet you wish your boyfriend
Dennis looked like Ray here.

362
00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:27,080
Dennis is not my boyfriend.

363
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,820
Oh, I know. You had a fight with him,
but you made up with him at the station

364
00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:33,200
before you left. You said you were going
to go buy a magazine, but I saw you

365
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,620
crying and him trying to kiss you.

366
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,500
It's too bad your brain hasn't developed
as much as your tongue.

367
00:22:38,620 --> 00:22:39,900
What a charming place.

368
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,139
What is it?

369
00:22:41,140 --> 00:22:42,540
That's where Jake and me bunk.

370
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,140
Jake? Who's Jake?

371
00:22:44,380 --> 00:22:45,380
My kid.

372
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,320
Hi, Jake. Come on out.

373
00:22:47,980 --> 00:22:48,980
Jake!

374
00:22:55,020 --> 00:22:56,260
I was setting the bread.

375
00:22:56,620 --> 00:22:58,360
Jake, Miss Marion, and Andrew Hardy.

376
00:22:58,820 --> 00:23:00,560
Howdy. Howdy. Howdy.

377
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,220
Well, I guess we can leave the children
to amuse each other.

378
00:23:04,060 --> 00:23:05,060
Children?

379
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,400
Would you like to see some desert, Miss
Marion?

380
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,640
Oh, yes.

381
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,460
You two youngsters will get along fine.

382
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:14,360
Youngsters.

383
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,960
Gee, some girls don't know the
difference between a 16 -year -old fella

384
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,960
little boy like yourself.

385
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,320
I ain't a boy.

386
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:21,500
I'm a girl.

387
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,320
A girl?

388
00:23:24,580 --> 00:23:28,540
Sure, I'm a girl. And I can do anything
you can do, 16 or no 16.

389
00:23:29,180 --> 00:23:30,180
Oh, yeah?

390
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:31,620
How good can you ride?

391
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,920
What do you mean, a horse?

392
00:23:33,679 --> 00:23:37,400
Oh, I don't win for horses much. Where I
come from, people use mostly cars.

393
00:23:37,940 --> 00:23:39,880
What's a car got that a horse ain't?

394
00:23:40,580 --> 00:23:43,520
Well, I never saw a horse with an
emergency brake.

395
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,300
This is Calico, my own private horse.

396
00:23:50,140 --> 00:23:51,140
My baby.

397
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,280
Want to try him?

398
00:23:52,740 --> 00:23:53,760
Oh, I don't know.

399
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:56,900
Maybe you can't ride. Maybe you're just
a monkey -ward cowboy.

400
00:23:57,460 --> 00:23:59,220
A what? A mail -order cowboy.

401
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,800
The kind that cuts a shine till they
straddle a pony.

402
00:24:02,270 --> 00:24:05,550
I am not. I can ride anything. There's
nothing to it. Then why don't you?

403
00:24:06,110 --> 00:24:07,110
I'm not in the mood.

404
00:24:07,570 --> 00:24:09,410
Bet you two bits you can't ride Calico.

405
00:24:09,690 --> 00:24:10,710
I bet you I can.

406
00:24:10,970 --> 00:24:11,869
It's a bet.

407
00:24:11,870 --> 00:24:12,870
Where's your dinero?

408
00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:15,870
Dinero? Oh, dinero means dough, huh?

409
00:24:16,110 --> 00:24:17,110
You're a funny kid.

410
00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:19,270
Go on, ride him, cowboy.

411
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:26,470
That ain't the right side.

412
00:24:27,690 --> 00:24:30,210
Oh, my, you're ignorant. Don't you know
you're right from your left?

413
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,780
I mean to get on a horse.

414
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,420
I was just clowning.

415
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:41,700
Ain't scared, are you?

416
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,440
No. All right, ride him, cowboy.

417
00:25:15,870 --> 00:25:19,230
Sonny, you don't need any emergency
brakes. You need a parachute.

418
00:25:19,550 --> 00:25:22,150
Listen, you heard my mom tell me to get
off the horse, didn't you?

419
00:25:26,110 --> 00:25:27,510
I'll take the Mazuma now.

420
00:25:30,130 --> 00:25:31,350
Andy! Andy!

421
00:25:34,890 --> 00:25:36,650
Oh, darling, are you hurt?

422
00:25:36,990 --> 00:25:38,170
No, I'm all right, Mom.

423
00:25:38,910 --> 00:25:39,910
Howdy, ma 'am.

424
00:25:40,090 --> 00:25:43,470
Don't worry. We got the kind of horses
that's fitting for your little boy.

425
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:07,700
Speed, partner.

426
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,880
Speed? Huh.

427
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:12,240
That's a fine name for this overgrown
mud turtle. Don't these things ever get

428
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,240
out of low gear?

429
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,000
Go on and get going, Speed.

430
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:16,400
Step on the gas.

431
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,640
Shh.

432
00:26:17,660 --> 00:26:18,760
Don't let him hear you.

433
00:26:19,060 --> 00:26:21,940
Burbles go crazy when anybody mentions
automobiles.

434
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,920
Are you all right? Are you hurt? I
shouldn't have gone near him. He's a

435
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,840
horse, especially when he knows you're
scared of him.

436
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,140
You shouldn't have done that, son. He's
not your horse, and besides, you know

437
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:25,080
nothing about riding. Just a day or two
of speed, and we'll promote you to a

438
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,440
nice, quiet old mare, Andy.

439
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,160
I'm not scared of any horse.

440
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,640
Surely a fellow who's a great basketball
star can do anything a little kid like

441
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:32,640
Jake here can do.

442
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,560
We'll go into that later, in private.

443
00:27:36,340 --> 00:27:37,340
Yes, sir.

444
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:39,420
It ain't his fault he's a tenderfoot,
Judge.

445
00:27:39,740 --> 00:27:40,780
He'll learn to ride.

446
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,020
Lots of other things to learn, too,
Jake.

447
00:27:43,530 --> 00:27:44,530
I'll see you tonight.

448
00:27:44,770 --> 00:27:47,270
In the meantime, you both come along
with me. I need you.

449
00:27:49,150 --> 00:27:50,710
This is what we call Lupin.

450
00:27:51,310 --> 00:27:52,310
Deep blue.

451
00:27:53,170 --> 00:27:54,730
Deep as the sky, isn't it?

452
00:27:58,010 --> 00:27:59,730
Have you always lived in this country?

453
00:28:00,050 --> 00:28:01,050
My whole life.

454
00:28:01,250 --> 00:28:02,270
It's a good country.

455
00:28:03,490 --> 00:28:05,890
There's something about being a part of
all this.

456
00:28:06,530 --> 00:28:09,110
It kind of makes a lot of things seem
mighty unimportant.

457
00:28:09,710 --> 00:28:11,110
Yes, it does, doesn't it?

458
00:28:12,940 --> 00:28:15,560
Does your wife like it here, too?

459
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,980
My wife died when Jake was born.

460
00:28:19,020 --> 00:28:20,680
Oh, I'm sorry.

461
00:28:22,060 --> 00:28:24,980
That adorable little girl of yours
growing up without a mother.

462
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,980
Why do you call her Jake? That's a boy's
name.

463
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,320
Because that was the last word her
mother spoke.

464
00:28:32,300 --> 00:28:36,720
She was only conscious a couple of
minutes after the baby came.

465
00:28:38,020 --> 00:28:39,340
She looked up at me.

466
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,760
And she said, is the little one all
right?

467
00:28:43,580 --> 00:28:44,720
And I said, yes.

468
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,960
And she said, well, everything's Jake.

469
00:28:49,260 --> 00:28:51,720
And she closed her eyes and didn't open
them anymore.

470
00:28:54,060 --> 00:28:55,820
So I named the little baby Jake.

471
00:28:58,180 --> 00:28:59,840
You don't think that's silly, do you?

472
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:01,840
I think it's beautiful.

473
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:10,500
Mr. Bruxton, in the deed by which the
Northcots bought this ranch, you're...

474
00:29:10,780 --> 00:29:13,020
The water contract is specifically
referred to.

475
00:29:13,580 --> 00:29:18,100
I maintain that implies an obligation on
your part to continue to supply him

476
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:19,100
with water.

477
00:29:19,140 --> 00:29:20,940
Contract is up on the 5th, Judge.

478
00:29:21,340 --> 00:29:25,280
The authorities will, I believe, support
my contention that you must renew it.

479
00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:27,520
As a matter of fact, Judge, you're
right.

480
00:29:27,780 --> 00:29:30,520
I'm glad you aren't going to force us to
go to court.

481
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,620
But there's no indication at what price
I must continue to sell the water.

482
00:29:35,420 --> 00:29:37,700
Water has suddenly become mighty
valuable.

483
00:29:38,220 --> 00:29:39,980
But the law is the law.

484
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,920
You can have all the water you want, but
on and after the fifth, my price will

485
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,640
be $100 a gallon.

486
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,400
Your attorneys, Mr. Bruxton, are very
shrewd men.

487
00:29:54,780 --> 00:29:58,680
I thought they'd better be, Judge, with
you on the other side of the case.

488
00:29:59,620 --> 00:30:04,400
And any time you want to renew the
contract at the new price, just let me

489
00:30:05,180 --> 00:30:06,380
Good day, my friends.

490
00:30:09,420 --> 00:30:10,420
We're licked, James.

491
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,060
We never should have signed such a
contract in the first place.

492
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:19,720
But we checked it over from the map
and... At least that map makes an

493
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,720
wall decoration.

494
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,000
It would be more attractive if an
earthquake changed it.

495
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,000
Perhaps that's the answer.

496
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,060
All we can do now is pray for a miracle.

497
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,100
Maybe a cotton junction is the miracle
we need.

498
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,240
That's as efficient as an earthquake and
much less expensive.

499
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:42,720
Oh, I didn't know you were busy, Dad.
Excuse me. No, no. If you want to talk

500
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,480
your father... Well, that's all right,
Aunt Dora. Take your time. I can wait.

501
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,260
Why, gee, I could wait a month if
necessary.

502
00:30:47,540 --> 00:30:48,540
I was just going.

503
00:30:48,740 --> 00:30:49,740
Thanks, James.

504
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,700
If you decide to stay up late again
tonight, remember, ice boxes were made

505
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:54,700
raided.

506
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,160
Sit down.

507
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,360
Sit down, son.

508
00:31:01,940 --> 00:31:04,880
Gee, Dad, could I help it if Jake's
horse is nervous? Well, I'll bet you

509
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,020
off the first time you rode.

510
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,420
No, I was thrown.

511
00:31:08,430 --> 00:31:10,530
Do you realize you might have been
killed?

512
00:31:11,090 --> 00:31:13,710
At least that horse might have been
seriously injured.

513
00:31:14,130 --> 00:31:15,730
Oh, the horse means more than I do.

514
00:31:16,030 --> 00:31:17,830
To your mother and me, no.

515
00:31:18,750 --> 00:31:20,010
To the horse, yes.

516
00:31:21,490 --> 00:31:24,570
I'm going to ask a favor that I have
often granted you.

517
00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:26,890
Okay. I mean, yes, sir.

518
00:31:27,190 --> 00:31:29,670
I want to talk man to man.

519
00:31:30,390 --> 00:31:31,390
Certainly.

520
00:31:31,670 --> 00:31:35,870
Your actions have been insufferable ever
since you received that basketball

521
00:31:35,870 --> 00:31:39,570
letter that made you think you were over
and above ordinary human beings.

522
00:31:39,970 --> 00:31:42,790
Well, I was the star of the team. Even
the paper said so.

523
00:31:43,070 --> 00:31:47,570
You played a good game, yes, but...
Good? Why, I was terrific.

524
00:31:49,090 --> 00:31:53,070
You've been breaking all the rules that
make it possible for people to live

525
00:31:53,070 --> 00:31:54,930
together. Rules, rules.

526
00:31:55,290 --> 00:31:58,650
Gee, with 100 ,000 million rules, a
fellow's got to hide himself in the

527
00:31:58,650 --> 00:31:59,650
to keep from breaking one.

528
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,280
Oh, you believe people should be allowed
to do as they please, huh?

529
00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:07,420
No, but you bossing a fellow all the
time sort of makes him lose his

530
00:32:07,420 --> 00:32:08,420
personality.

531
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,340
Well, maybe I'm wrong.

532
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:12,940
I'll tell you what we'll do.

533
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,760
For a week, you do as you please.

534
00:32:16,420 --> 00:32:21,300
No rules, no don'ts. Boy, oh boy, Dad.
Man to man, does that mean I can do as I

535
00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:24,940
please? But do I get punished if I'm
guilty of some slight error in judgment?

536
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,120
For the length of the experiment,
there'll be no punishment. You're on

537
00:32:29,690 --> 00:32:30,629
It's a deal.

538
00:32:30,630 --> 00:32:31,630
Now, wait a minute.

539
00:32:32,590 --> 00:32:35,290
It's only fair to you to tell you why
I'm doing this.

540
00:32:36,150 --> 00:32:40,770
This latest stage of your development is
only a phase that all boys go through.

541
00:32:41,370 --> 00:32:45,330
In my opinion, you give the average boy
of your age enough rope and he'll hang

542
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:46,330
himself.

543
00:32:46,390 --> 00:32:50,530
So without any rules or regulations,
you're very liable to find that instead

544
00:32:50,530 --> 00:32:54,810
being a conquering hero, you're still a
little boy running home to his mother.

545
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,640
Oh, well, the day I come running home,
I'll have two brass bands in back of me

546
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,960
and a million dollars in my pocket.

547
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,300
Oh, boy, Dad, now I know how the slaves
felt when Lincoln signed the

548
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:04,500
Emancipation Proclamation.

549
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,200
Oh, excuse me.

550
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,280
James, I've only got a second. I want to
warn you.

551
00:33:12,940 --> 00:33:13,940
Warn me?

552
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,380
Marion's falling in love with that
foreman, Ray Holt.

553
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,300
What? Oh, that's utterly ridiculous.

554
00:33:21,660 --> 00:33:23,720
She had a fight with Dennis and Carl
Holt.

555
00:33:24,090 --> 00:33:25,350
Now she's got that look in her eyes.

556
00:33:25,730 --> 00:33:26,910
You'd better do something.

557
00:33:27,850 --> 00:33:29,990
I'd better do something? What can I do?

558
00:33:30,850 --> 00:33:33,030
James, you're so much wiser than any of
us.

559
00:33:33,390 --> 00:33:35,970
Oh, now, see here, Millie, don't... Here
she comes.

560
00:33:36,270 --> 00:33:37,690
Don't tell her that I told you.

561
00:33:40,850 --> 00:33:41,850
Hello, Father.

562
00:33:42,690 --> 00:33:43,690
Oh.

563
00:33:45,030 --> 00:33:46,030
Marion.

564
00:33:46,410 --> 00:33:47,410
Yes, Father.

565
00:33:48,670 --> 00:33:49,670
Marion.

566
00:33:51,390 --> 00:33:53,270
Are you having a nice time?

567
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,080
Do you know what the great outdoors has
made me realize?

568
00:33:56,660 --> 00:34:00,940
That the qualities I admire most in a
man are simple kindness and real

569
00:34:00,940 --> 00:34:01,940
of character.

570
00:34:02,780 --> 00:34:06,120
James, how do you get yourself up for
dinner? Or do I have to wash back of

571
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,320
ears like I do Andy's?

572
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,060
Oh, James, I'm a new woman here where
we've nothing to worry about.

573
00:34:13,020 --> 00:34:14,239
That's fine, that's fine.

574
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,179
Hurry along, dear. Come on, Marion.

575
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:18,839
Mr. Hardy.

576
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:19,738
Uh -huh?

577
00:34:19,739 --> 00:34:21,400
Mr. Hall, the foreman's on the phone.

578
00:34:22,139 --> 00:34:23,139
Oh, yes.

579
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,300
Yes, Ray, what is it?

580
00:34:30,460 --> 00:34:31,460
What was that?

581
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,360
Wait just a minute till I get this thing
straight.

582
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,739
Is it all right for Andy to borrow your
six -shooter tomorrow to kill

583
00:34:41,739 --> 00:34:42,739
rattlesnakes?

584
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:10,420
Stand back there, Jake. Give me a little
room.

585
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,000
That's it, girl.

586
00:35:17,820 --> 00:35:18,820
Well!

587
00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:20,380
Oh, you see?

588
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,600
Just a natural -born sharpshooter.

589
00:35:22,820 --> 00:35:24,800
You suppose I could ever do that?

590
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,480
Well, I'd be afraid to let you try.

591
00:35:26,980 --> 00:35:30,200
Now you see the difference between a
fellow 16 and a little kid of 8 like

592
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,200
yourself.

593
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,860
Say, I'll bet you a quarter you can't
even pull the trigger.

594
00:35:36,380 --> 00:35:37,860
Maybe not the first time.

595
00:35:38,860 --> 00:35:41,440
I tell you what I'll do. I'll bet you a
half a dollar that you can't even hit

596
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:42,440
the can in three tries.

597
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:45,260
I couldn't afford to lose that much
money.

598
00:35:45,540 --> 00:35:48,180
Well, I lost a quarter to you. You can
be a good sport about it.

599
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,640
Look, I'll bet you a dollar that you
can't even hit the can in five tries.

600
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,440
A good sport?

601
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,780
Yeah. A woman's got to be a good sport,
same as a man.

602
00:35:58,880 --> 00:35:59,880
It's a bet.

603
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,280
Take the gun in the right hand of the
lady?

604
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,700
Now just take a bead on it and rip right
out.

605
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,400
Of course, you'll miss it the first
time, but you're learning.

606
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,440
Why didn't you tell me that you got
the...

607
00:36:35,190 --> 00:36:36,190
Mr. Hardy.

608
00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:38,410
You think you're smart, don't you?

609
00:36:38,670 --> 00:36:40,990
Well, I'll make you look silly before I
leave this joint.

610
00:36:41,210 --> 00:36:43,370
Oh, forget it. Here, I'll give you your
dollar back.

611
00:36:43,570 --> 00:36:46,610
No, no, I'm no quitter. You just wait.
I'll show you. You know, a man and woman

612
00:36:46,610 --> 00:36:47,950
can be friends on equal basis.

613
00:36:48,550 --> 00:36:51,890
Platonic, they call it. But once a woman
steps out of line and humiliates a man,

614
00:36:51,950 --> 00:36:54,810
he's got to wipe out the insult or he
can't hold up his head again in the

615
00:36:55,190 --> 00:36:58,070
You won't know it for years and years
yet, but this is a man's world.

616
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:06,600
It's getting late. Better take you home.

617
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:14,820
Ray, you've almost avoided me for the
last several days. If I hadn't asked you

618
00:37:14,820 --> 00:37:16,700
to go walking with me tonight, we
wouldn't be here.

619
00:37:17,940 --> 00:37:19,780
Why? Please tell me, Ray.

620
00:37:25,780 --> 00:37:26,780
That's why.

621
00:37:27,060 --> 00:37:28,340
It ought to have better sense.

622
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:31,520
But it's all right, Ray.

623
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:34,100
I'm in love with you.

624
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,520
Well, when a girl like you says she
loves me, there's only one thing for a

625
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:43,459
to do.

626
00:37:43,460 --> 00:37:44,460
What?

627
00:37:44,900 --> 00:37:46,780
When can I talk to your dad about
marrying you?

628
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,720
Dad, oh, yes, that's right. I suppose we
ought to... The sooner the better.

629
00:37:51,580 --> 00:37:52,940
Well, I'll talk to him first.

630
00:37:53,220 --> 00:37:54,220
Come on, let's go.

631
00:37:56,140 --> 00:37:58,000
Northcote's told me of your fine record,
Ray.

632
00:37:59,060 --> 00:38:01,680
You're hardworking, honest, and you're
good.

633
00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:04,780
Mary knows how I feel about marriage.

634
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,040
To me, it's a 50 -50 partnership.

635
00:38:07,950 --> 00:38:09,870
I know what you're willing to offer,
Ray.

636
00:38:11,570 --> 00:38:12,930
What about you, Donna?

637
00:38:13,570 --> 00:38:18,030
Me? Yes, there's a lot more than just
romance to being a wife out here in this

638
00:38:18,030 --> 00:38:21,710
country. I was reading an article only
the other day about trial marriage.

639
00:38:22,090 --> 00:38:23,090
Trial marriage?

640
00:38:23,290 --> 00:38:27,770
I don't hold to those new ideas, Judge.
I don't think it's... Oh, I don't mean

641
00:38:27,770 --> 00:38:29,750
carrying out the idea to the last
letter.

642
00:38:30,190 --> 00:38:34,470
No, what I mean is, Marion, why don't
you try going to Ray's cottage every

643
00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:37,150
morning and doing the housework, take
care of Jake?

644
00:38:37,770 --> 00:38:40,350
Face some of the problems you'll have to
face after you're married.

645
00:38:40,690 --> 00:38:42,090
I think that would be fun.

646
00:38:42,730 --> 00:38:44,570
I know you. You think I'll fail.

647
00:38:44,890 --> 00:38:45,970
Well, I'll show you.

648
00:38:46,430 --> 00:38:47,430
Are you game?

649
00:38:47,630 --> 00:38:48,650
Whatever you say.

650
00:38:49,190 --> 00:38:50,190
We'll start tomorrow.

651
00:38:51,030 --> 00:38:52,030
For breakfast?

652
00:38:52,310 --> 00:38:53,069
For breakfast.

653
00:38:53,070 --> 00:38:54,150
What time is breakfast?

654
00:38:54,610 --> 00:38:56,850
Jake usually dishes up about a quarter
to five.

655
00:38:57,450 --> 00:39:02,170
Well, maybe that's too early for you.
No, I'll be there on the dot. Well, I

656
00:39:02,170 --> 00:39:04,410
wouldn't say anything to Mother about
this. Love's positive.

657
00:39:04,830 --> 00:39:06,470
Then you can tell her the good news.

658
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,080
All right, Dad.

659
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,660
But I know it'll work out.

660
00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:16,880
You gonna be our biscuit shooter?

661
00:39:17,380 --> 00:39:18,380
Your what?

662
00:39:18,460 --> 00:39:19,680
Cook our chow regular.

663
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,160
That's the idea.

664
00:39:21,620 --> 00:39:22,680
Breakfast's almost ready.

665
00:39:22,980 --> 00:39:24,020
Couple of minutes, Ray.

666
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:30,340
I can make doll clothes, too.

667
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,160
Doll clothes? For who?

668
00:39:33,140 --> 00:39:34,260
Haven't you got a doll?

669
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:38,320
No. Had one once, but I traded it in for
a pair of spurs.

670
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,280
I'll make some cookies after breakfast.

671
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:42,600
You got any molasses?

672
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:44,960
Oh, here it is.

673
00:39:46,260 --> 00:39:48,280
That ain't no molasses. That's varnish.

674
00:39:48,980 --> 00:39:49,980
Varnish?

675
00:39:51,220 --> 00:39:52,480
I'm glad you told me.

676
00:39:52,820 --> 00:39:54,300
That's no place for the varnish.

677
00:39:54,540 --> 00:39:56,320
Use the varnish can for a target.

678
00:39:56,620 --> 00:39:58,340
Hey, Jake, will you dust off my boots?

679
00:39:58,860 --> 00:39:59,860
Shall I?

680
00:40:00,740 --> 00:40:03,560
No siree. Ray said to store by his
boots.

681
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,280
Paid 40 bucks for them.

682
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:08,800
Where do you keep the sugar?

683
00:40:09,180 --> 00:40:10,200
In the salt jar.

684
00:40:11,660 --> 00:40:13,180
Why don't you keep it in the sugar jar?

685
00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:14,840
Because the salt's in there.

686
00:40:16,540 --> 00:40:20,100
Now, wouldn't it be much easier to keep
the sugar in the sugar jar and the salt

687
00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:21,100
in the salt jar?

688
00:40:21,340 --> 00:40:22,340
Why?

689
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,400
Well, when you wanted the sugar, you
wouldn't have to go to so much trouble.

690
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,660
I don't go to no trouble. I just go to
the salt jar.

691
00:40:30,900 --> 00:40:33,040
Morning. Sorry to be late with
breakfast.

692
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,240
But I had to help Mother get off this
morning. She and Aunt Millie are going

693
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:37,900
down to the reservation to look at
Indian blankets.

694
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,280
Oh!

695
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,200
Oh, Marion, I'm so sorry.

696
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:46,680
Hurt bad?

697
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,540
Not much now.

698
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,020
Good. Mush!

699
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:04,920
What's the matter, partner?

700
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,540
You'd cry too if you saw your father
being ruined.

701
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:15,040
Your dad, has he lost his job or signed
someone's note? No, that googie -eyed

702
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,340
sap sister of yours.

703
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:20,720
She's making up to him and the big lug
is bleeding like an orphan calf.

704
00:41:30,700 --> 00:41:31,700
Caught you.

705
00:41:39,310 --> 00:41:42,430
I guess maybe I ought to be, but I don't
have to be. You forgetting about our

706
00:41:42,430 --> 00:41:43,430
deal, Dad?

707
00:41:44,070 --> 00:41:45,370
Why don't you join me?

708
00:41:48,310 --> 00:41:50,210
You're making an awful lot of noise with
that celery.

709
00:41:51,290 --> 00:41:52,710
Boy, this is some spread.

710
00:41:55,750 --> 00:41:58,070
Celery? Chicken. Oh, boy.

711
00:42:01,130 --> 00:42:02,130
Drumstick, Dad?

712
00:42:03,710 --> 00:42:08,130
No. No, thanks. You keep it. Well, you
can have it. No, no, no. You saw it

713
00:42:08,130 --> 00:42:10,090
first. Oh, come on. Here, take it.

714
00:42:11,010 --> 00:42:12,830
Oh, thanks, Andy.

715
00:42:14,990 --> 00:42:19,930
Andy, what made you think of urging me
to take this drumstick?

716
00:42:20,590 --> 00:42:21,590
You wanted it.

717
00:42:21,950 --> 00:42:25,650
Well, I guess maybe it's because I can
do as I like and it puts me on equal

718
00:42:25,650 --> 00:42:26,650
basis with you.

719
00:42:26,830 --> 00:42:28,890
And somehow it kind of makes me want to
be polite.

720
00:42:29,490 --> 00:42:30,490
Isn't that funny?

721
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:36,940
Oh, it's only Marion.

722
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,920
Any other time, then we'll be fighting
words.

723
00:42:40,300 --> 00:42:41,540
But I'm too tired.

724
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:42,880
Is there any milk?

725
00:42:43,140 --> 00:42:45,480
Milk? Sure, here's the whole pitcher
full.

726
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:46,980
Well, really?

727
00:42:47,340 --> 00:42:48,340
Oh, yeah.

728
00:42:50,820 --> 00:42:52,600
Is Jake putting you through the hoops?

729
00:42:52,980 --> 00:42:54,980
Why have I let you live this long?

730
00:42:56,140 --> 00:42:57,780
Well, here's your health, gentlemen.

731
00:42:59,820 --> 00:43:01,040
But there's one thing.

732
00:43:01,420 --> 00:43:02,420
What?

733
00:43:02,990 --> 00:43:06,130
I'm beginning to understand what people
mean when they say you've got to grow up

734
00:43:06,130 --> 00:43:08,850
with children, not take them at one fell
swoop.

735
00:43:09,850 --> 00:43:11,670
Well, James Hardy.

736
00:43:12,110 --> 00:43:13,810
Well, Emily Hardy.

737
00:43:14,610 --> 00:43:17,550
Emily, we're all in the same boat. We're
all caught red -handed.

738
00:43:17,810 --> 00:43:21,410
Just the same. I don't believe in eating
before you go to bed. I don't either,

739
00:43:21,470 --> 00:43:22,830
Mom. Gee, the chicken's swell.

740
00:43:23,670 --> 00:43:24,790
Have a chair, Millie.

741
00:43:25,010 --> 00:43:29,090
Thanks. Boy, do I like midnight suppers.
Just as much fun as a picnic, only we

742
00:43:29,090 --> 00:43:30,090
haven't got the ants.

743
00:43:33,420 --> 00:43:35,220
They say there's no place like home.

744
00:43:36,460 --> 00:43:39,140
Only where Mother is, that's home to us.

745
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,740
Pretty poor home before we left
Carville.

746
00:43:42,020 --> 00:43:43,180
Was not. It was swell.

747
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,340
I have an apology to make to the whole
family.

748
00:43:46,940 --> 00:43:48,840
I'm sorry I was such a cross over there.

749
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,820
I hope I didn't make things too
miserable for you. You were just tired,

750
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,700
Even tired I like her better than any
mother I know of. Now, Emily, no

751
00:43:56,700 --> 00:43:58,240
postmortems. We don't allow that.

752
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,000
But poor Augusta, taking out my
tiredness on her. All that.

753
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:07,600
Last thing I did before I left Carville,
I hired Augusta back and paid her wages

754
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:08,600
till we got home.

755
00:44:09,260 --> 00:44:10,260
Oh, Dad.

756
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,680
Pop's a magician.

757
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,120
Well, I wish I were.

758
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:17,620
Then I might solve this problem of
Dora's here.

759
00:44:18,620 --> 00:44:19,620
Think of it.

760
00:44:19,860 --> 00:44:22,340
Dora and Bill losing this ranch.

761
00:44:23,020 --> 00:44:25,420
Dad, that'll mean Ray will be out of a
job.

762
00:44:26,100 --> 00:44:27,100
Ray?

763
00:44:27,380 --> 00:44:30,560
Oh, the foreman. Oh, don't worry, dear.
He'll soon get another job.

764
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,720
But, James, you must try to do something
to help the Northcuts.

765
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,520
Oh, I have. I've spent days in the
courthouse and nights planning strategy

766
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:39,520
didn't work.

767
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,880
Only the day the court refused my
petition for an injunction against

768
00:44:44,500 --> 00:44:45,980
I guess Dora's right.

769
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:48,500
Miracles are answered.

770
00:44:53,900 --> 00:44:57,580
My goodness gracious, Andy, you couldn't
have done this on one of these horses?

771
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,020
Nope, I rode a fence rail and Uncle Bill
tricked me in on the bronc with his

772
00:45:01,020 --> 00:45:02,560
imported camera and a double exposure.

773
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:03,880
A pleasure.

774
00:45:03,900 --> 00:45:06,680
The trouble with having you and Marion
here is it's going to be so lonely when

775
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:07,319
you leave.

776
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,660
I wish we could have you for keeps.

777
00:45:09,140 --> 00:45:10,118
Thanks, Uncle Bill.

778
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,480
I'm going to go mail this to Polly.

779
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,120
Wait till Carville gets a load of
Daredevil Andy, the terror of the

780
00:45:20,820 --> 00:45:21,819
Who's Polly?

781
00:45:21,820 --> 00:45:22,820
A girlfriend.

782
00:45:23,150 --> 00:45:24,150
You got a girlfriend?

783
00:45:24,350 --> 00:45:25,350
I got several.

784
00:45:25,670 --> 00:45:26,670
Can I be one?

785
00:45:26,890 --> 00:45:29,890
What do you think I am, a cradle robber?
Now go on, Van Moose Jake, I got an

786
00:45:29,890 --> 00:45:30,890
important letter to write.

787
00:45:52,010 --> 00:45:53,210
Thought you'd gone to bed.

788
00:45:53,550 --> 00:45:54,970
I don't have to, remember?

789
00:45:55,250 --> 00:45:58,630
I'm just stealing a few moments from my
ranching activities to catch up with my

790
00:45:58,630 --> 00:45:59,790
social correspondents.

791
00:46:00,250 --> 00:46:01,250
Excuse me.

792
00:46:01,470 --> 00:46:02,890
I'll try not to disturb you.

793
00:46:05,910 --> 00:46:09,850
Doris said you wanted me. I know. I
warned you about too much horseback

794
00:46:10,150 --> 00:46:11,650
Have a chair. Have a chair with me.

795
00:46:12,370 --> 00:46:13,370
Yeah.

796
00:46:13,770 --> 00:46:15,130
Nice last cool water.

797
00:46:16,050 --> 00:46:19,090
Dad, whenever you act like this, you've
got some ideas in your mind.

798
00:46:19,370 --> 00:46:20,370
You want something.

799
00:46:22,220 --> 00:46:23,480
Yes, I do want something.

800
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:25,360
Emily,

801
00:46:25,740 --> 00:46:28,620
Dora and Bill Northcott are licked.

802
00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:32,480
Bruxton's going to take their ranch away
from them, and I'm powerless to help

803
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:33,480
them. Oh, Dad.

804
00:46:34,500 --> 00:46:38,420
It's not like you to give up so easily.
I haven't given up. I've got one chance

805
00:46:38,420 --> 00:46:39,720
left. It's a desperate one.

806
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,000
But it involves a decision that you've
got to make for me.

807
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,180
It means risking everything we have,
every dollar I can raise.

808
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,640
Well, do you think I'd understand if you
told me about it?

809
00:46:51,540 --> 00:46:56,740
When Bill and Dora Northcott bought this
property, they signed an ironclad

810
00:46:56,740 --> 00:47:00,180
agreement never to interfere with Bruxon
driving his cattle across their land.

811
00:47:00,380 --> 00:47:04,400
But this morning I discovered in order
for Bruxon to get his cattle to the

812
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,800
railroad, he's got to cross another
property that's owned by a rich old

813
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,260
Now, if some disinterested person could
buy that Indian's property, he could

814
00:47:12,260 --> 00:47:13,660
shut Bruxon off from the railroad.

815
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,880
Of course, Bill and Dora can't legally
do it, but I can buy that land.

816
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,600
and fight fire with fire until such time
as Bruxon agrees to give the North

817
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:23,980
Coast water at a reasonable rate.

818
00:47:24,660 --> 00:47:30,540
But if something went wrong, we'd find
ourselves owning a desert waste and I'd

819
00:47:30,540 --> 00:47:32,640
be liable to Bruxon for all the damage
he suffered.

820
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,160
Well, it's my idea that if you do
something because you think it's the

821
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,520
thing to do, somehow or other it's bound
to turn out right.

822
00:47:39,980 --> 00:47:41,660
Where would the world be if it didn't?

823
00:47:43,660 --> 00:47:46,320
Emily, you want me to do this?

824
00:47:46,879 --> 00:47:49,940
James, how do you jump on your horse and
go and buy that land right away? But

825
00:47:49,940 --> 00:47:52,120
don't try to outsmart that rich old
Indian.

826
00:47:52,620 --> 00:47:56,240
My grandfather fought against the
Indians, and he used to tell me that an

827
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:59,060
could horn -swoggle the shirt right off
a white man's back.

828
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,980
Oh, but we mustn't breathe a word of
this.

829
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,000
If Braxton could ever prove the
Northcots knew what was going on, he'd

830
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,920
for everything they got, probably charge
him with criminal conspiracy.

831
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,900
If I were to tell one half of what I
know back home, the town of Carver would

832
00:48:12,900 --> 00:48:14,000
break out in civil war.

833
00:48:28,140 --> 00:48:29,140
Oh, Ma.

834
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,540
Oh, Mrs. Hardy, isn't it past your usual
bedtime?

835
00:48:33,340 --> 00:48:34,340
Don't scold me, honey.

836
00:48:34,740 --> 00:48:35,740
I'm going right away.

837
00:48:36,900 --> 00:48:38,040
Good night. Good night, Ma.

838
00:48:39,460 --> 00:48:40,460
Oh, Mother.

839
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,160
Oh, honey, you're tired.

840
00:48:43,820 --> 00:48:44,840
Mustn't overdo things.

841
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:50,540
Remember, you're a modern, sophisticated
girl, not one of these, um, these

842
00:48:50,540 --> 00:48:51,660
bronco -busters.

843
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,440
I'm remembering all right. Good night to
you.

844
00:48:54,940 --> 00:48:56,640
Good night, dear. Good night, Andy.

845
00:48:57,050 --> 00:48:58,050
Good night, Mommy.

846
00:49:01,370 --> 00:49:02,370
Hey, Marion.

847
00:49:02,850 --> 00:49:04,330
The latest dope on horses.

848
00:49:04,930 --> 00:49:06,110
Latest dope on horses.

849
00:49:07,930 --> 00:49:11,470
Say, ain't science doing wonderful
things nowadays for dumb animals?

850
00:49:11,870 --> 00:49:14,670
Seeing as how you're going to marry a
horse's nurse, you ought to know

851
00:49:14,670 --> 00:49:16,130
about... Sure.

852
00:49:37,550 --> 00:49:38,590
Oh, you're perfect this morning.

853
00:49:38,890 --> 00:49:39,890
You won't regret it.

854
00:49:40,230 --> 00:49:41,330
Sure, I performed.

855
00:49:43,430 --> 00:49:45,190
Can I have a doll for my birthday?

856
00:49:45,810 --> 00:49:46,810
We'll see.

857
00:49:46,890 --> 00:49:49,810
I'll get everything straightened up.
Let's see, you can start with... I

858
00:49:49,810 --> 00:49:53,690
clean Ray's boots. He likes to look
right smart when he goes to town

859
00:49:55,990 --> 00:49:58,390
Well, I'll do it. It's my duty to learn
how.

860
00:49:59,550 --> 00:50:00,550
What do you use?

861
00:50:00,990 --> 00:50:01,990
Polish?

862
00:50:04,090 --> 00:50:05,490
If I was you...

863
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,740
I'd give them a good boiling first.

864
00:50:08,060 --> 00:50:12,080
They're special leather, you know, and
boiling in baking soda keeps them soft.

865
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:13,960
Oh, really?

866
00:50:14,380 --> 00:50:15,680
Yes, ma 'am.

867
00:50:16,260 --> 00:50:19,540
Well, I don't know much about those
things.

868
00:50:34,890 --> 00:50:37,730
And then I'd advise you to set him out
in the sun for a spell.

869
00:50:43,710 --> 00:50:44,970
Ma, you look beautiful.

870
00:50:45,230 --> 00:50:46,410
Ray will be so surprised.

871
00:50:51,990 --> 00:50:53,610
See? You're sweet.

872
00:51:19,089 --> 00:51:20,490
Well. I made it myself.

873
00:51:21,030 --> 00:51:24,110
You know, it was awful, a little girl
not having anything to wear but pants

874
00:51:24,110 --> 00:51:26,790
overalls. Not a single dress to her
name.

875
00:51:27,450 --> 00:51:29,010
Look, I varnished the floor.

876
00:51:30,250 --> 00:51:31,650
Well, that's just swell.

877
00:51:32,270 --> 00:51:34,870
Come on now, we've got to hustle if
we're going to get to town before the

878
00:51:34,870 --> 00:51:37,210
get all jammed up. Jake, dear, go fetch
your father's boots.

879
00:51:37,770 --> 00:51:39,090
I cleaned them for you myself.

880
00:51:39,730 --> 00:51:40,870
Be careful of the varnish.

881
00:51:41,270 --> 00:51:42,710
It ought to be dry by now.

882
00:51:43,050 --> 00:51:44,970
What kind of varnish did you use?

883
00:51:46,290 --> 00:51:47,290
Smells sweet.

884
00:51:47,790 --> 00:51:49,830
Varnish that Jake had in the molasses
can.

885
00:51:52,230 --> 00:51:56,630
Jake, you didn't put the molasses back
in the molasses can. You told me to keep

886
00:51:56,630 --> 00:51:58,250
things in the right places, didn't you?

887
00:51:58,670 --> 00:52:00,830
But you didn't tell me that you changed
them.

888
00:52:06,670 --> 00:52:09,610
What in the jumpin' jahasa fat has
happened to my boots?

889
00:52:10,410 --> 00:52:12,050
Why, I just boiled them.

890
00:52:12,270 --> 00:52:14,030
You boiled my boots?

891
00:52:14,330 --> 00:52:15,330
Yes.

892
00:52:15,970 --> 00:52:16,970
Boiled them?

893
00:52:17,100 --> 00:52:19,280
Put them in water on the stove and
boiled them?

894
00:52:20,180 --> 00:52:23,780
Yes, with plenty of baking soda. But
Mary and Boots are made of leather.

895
00:52:23,780 --> 00:52:26,260
shouldn't be boiled in baking soda or
anything.

896
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,280
Can I help it if I'm not a tough Wild
West girl who knows all about Boots?

897
00:52:31,240 --> 00:52:35,540
Dad, I was just being foolish and
romantic again.

898
00:52:37,180 --> 00:52:38,180
Dad.

899
00:52:39,500 --> 00:52:40,459
Oh, Dad.

900
00:52:40,460 --> 00:52:43,240
Yeah, I think it's easy now. You aren't
going to faint, are you?

901
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,180
Dennis that I was going to marry someone
else.

902
00:52:48,540 --> 00:52:54,040
Now he'll think I'm second -hand if I...
Does everyone pay for every impulsive

903
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,040
thing they do?

904
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:57,320
I always did.

905
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,140
I've got to eat humble pie.

906
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,740
I'll eat it and smear it all over my
face if he wants me to.

907
00:53:05,140 --> 00:53:07,340
I'll phone and do it long distance right
now.

908
00:53:09,580 --> 00:53:12,520
Someday I'll give you all the lurid
details of my trial marriage.

909
00:53:13,460 --> 00:53:14,460
Pretty terrible?

910
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:16,080
Was it?

911
00:53:17,870 --> 00:53:19,910
Hooray. I boiled his pet boots.

912
00:53:20,290 --> 00:53:22,450
Oh, Mary, no.

913
00:53:36,370 --> 00:53:39,250
Now, this isn't going to hurt you,
Calico. It's just to keep you from

914
00:53:39,250 --> 00:53:40,250
while I'm in the saddle.

915
00:53:41,310 --> 00:53:43,770
It's very simple. After a while, we'll
get used to each other, and then I'll

916
00:53:43,770 --> 00:53:46,070
teach you to jump the back fence and
land right in front of Jake.

917
00:53:46,550 --> 00:53:48,410
And boy, will her eyes pop open.

918
00:53:48,670 --> 00:53:51,130
And guess she won't make any more cracks
about my riding.

919
00:53:52,250 --> 00:53:53,109
Now, whoa.

920
00:53:53,110 --> 00:53:55,710
Whoa, horse. Hold still.

921
00:53:59,090 --> 00:54:01,350
We're going for a nice, quiet little
ride.

922
00:54:01,850 --> 00:54:02,850
Hold still.

923
00:54:03,550 --> 00:54:04,550
That's it.

924
00:54:04,750 --> 00:54:05,750
Giddy -up!

925
00:54:43,950 --> 00:54:44,970
Leg's broke, all right.

926
00:54:45,390 --> 00:54:46,710
Nothing to do but shoot him.

927
00:54:46,950 --> 00:54:47,950
Oh.

928
00:54:49,650 --> 00:54:50,770
Honey, I'm sorry.

929
00:54:52,590 --> 00:54:53,590
Please.

930
00:54:53,970 --> 00:54:55,770
I'd like for Ray to shoot him.

931
00:54:57,290 --> 00:54:58,730
We'll wait until he comes back.

932
00:55:10,770 --> 00:55:11,770
Calico, baby.

933
00:55:12,150 --> 00:55:13,430
It's maybe gonna hurt.

934
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:14,920
just a little minute.

935
00:55:14,940 --> 00:55:19,320
But after that, I say, nothing will ever
hurt you.

936
00:55:19,740 --> 00:55:25,060
And I heard Miss Northcott say, she's
sure horses get to heaven just like

937
00:55:25,060 --> 00:55:30,340
anybody else. So just think, you'll have
plenty of green pastures up there.

938
00:55:31,900 --> 00:55:36,340
If we could only talk and let me know
he's savvy.

939
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:40,920
I'll buy you another horse, Jake.

940
00:55:48,140 --> 00:55:50,340
You've got hundreds of horses around the
ranch here.

941
00:55:50,860 --> 00:55:52,100
Better than Calico.

942
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:54,500
You don't savvy.

943
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,900
Did you ever have a dog?

944
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,900
Sure, I... I had a dog.

945
00:56:08,180 --> 00:56:09,740
Cutest little tyke you ever saw.

946
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:13,360
Where is he now?

947
00:56:14,260 --> 00:56:15,260
He's dead.

948
00:56:16,180 --> 00:56:17,340
Truck run over him.

949
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:20,560
I cried a little.

950
00:56:21,540 --> 00:56:22,660
I cried a lot.

951
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:28,740
Well, then maybe you can understand a
tiny little bit of how I feel about

952
00:56:28,740 --> 00:56:29,740
Calico.

953
00:56:30,180 --> 00:56:33,080
There's just no sense in having to shoot
Calico.

954
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:34,320
Just no sense.

955
00:56:35,780 --> 00:56:39,480
Why don't you tell me you hate me? Why
don't you tell me I'm a horse killer?

956
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:40,600
don't you beat me or something?

957
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:00,720
What's the matter, son?

958
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:04,500
Dad, you know that verse in the Bible
that goes, pride goeth before a fall?

959
00:57:05,860 --> 00:57:08,020
Well, I got mine.

960
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:09,720
Gee.

961
00:57:11,540 --> 00:57:12,820
Tell me about it, Andy.

962
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:16,220
I can't talk about it yet. You'll know
about it soon enough.

963
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:20,680
Look, I've got all my Christmas money
saved up in the bank at home, and I

964
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,120
sell my roadster for about... 20 bucks,
that's about $35.

965
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,340
And, well, I know how you feel about
credit, Dad, but could you give me 35

966
00:57:28,340 --> 00:57:30,120
and 15 to go with it to make $50?

967
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,000
$50?

968
00:57:32,180 --> 00:57:36,960
That's a lot of money for anyone, let
alone a... Must be a frightful emergency

969
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:38,800
to want that much money so badly.

970
00:57:39,340 --> 00:57:40,640
Well, could I have it?

971
00:57:41,740 --> 00:57:43,300
Of course.

972
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,000
Oh, you're swell, Dad.

973
00:57:46,460 --> 00:57:49,640
As long as I've got anything, Andrew,
it's yours, too.

974
00:57:50,330 --> 00:57:51,950
Yeah, I've been an awful fool.

975
00:57:52,330 --> 00:57:56,130
Gosh, everything you said about me since
I got my basketball letter, ain't... I

976
00:57:56,130 --> 00:57:57,370
mean, isn't a half of it.

977
00:57:57,770 --> 00:58:03,250
Gee, I didn't have enough sense to see
that you knew most everything about life

978
00:58:03,250 --> 00:58:05,810
and kids. I don't know nothing at all.

979
00:58:06,570 --> 00:58:09,970
Gee, I'm not even worth being your son.

980
00:58:10,670 --> 00:58:13,330
But I'm cured, Dad, and you're going to
find out.

981
00:58:14,030 --> 00:58:15,870
Yeah, I'll never forget this.

982
00:58:23,660 --> 00:58:25,820
You gotta promise me something. Don't
shoot him till I get back.

983
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:30,780
Okay. I'll try and fix it, but I think
you're plum loco. I don't care.

984
00:59:03,030 --> 00:59:04,870
Surprise! For your den at home.

985
00:59:05,090 --> 00:59:07,830
To hang on the wall across from the
Catalina swordfish.

986
00:59:08,250 --> 00:59:10,750
Well, that's mighty sweet of you, Emily.

987
00:59:11,630 --> 00:59:15,210
Only I'm not awfully fond of Indian
blankets.

988
00:59:15,710 --> 00:59:17,410
Oh, you mean because of that picnic.

989
00:59:19,710 --> 00:59:21,570
What do you mean, that picnic?

990
00:59:22,150 --> 00:59:25,350
Don't you be coy with me, James Hardy.
Why, it was the town scandal.

991
00:59:25,690 --> 00:59:28,690
Did you know about that? I'll tell you a
secret.

992
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:33,600
Before that, I hadn't really noticed
you. But when I heard, well, you can put

993
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,160
down to my extreme youth, but you
completely intrigued me.

994
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,240
I wanted to reform you. Reform me?

995
00:59:39,540 --> 00:59:42,740
Of course, when I married you, I
realized that gossip was ridiculous.

996
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,300
Well, after all, water can't run uphill.

997
00:59:45,820 --> 00:59:50,980
Well, the whole scheme of the universe,
women are the strangest creatures in it.

998
00:59:51,980 --> 00:59:56,140
James, I never really believed that
gossip because I took the trouble to

999
00:59:56,140 --> 00:59:57,140
out it wasn't true.

1000
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,440
I just think we've had all these years.

1001
00:59:59,660 --> 01:00:01,380
And Marion and Andy.

1002
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,120
Yes.

1003
01:00:05,940 --> 01:00:08,120
James, you're hiding something from me
to save me worry.

1004
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:09,320
I can always tell.

1005
01:00:11,500 --> 01:00:13,520
Mother, it's Andy.

1006
01:00:13,780 --> 01:00:16,700
He's been missing all day. James. No,
no, no, no.

1007
01:00:17,060 --> 01:00:21,440
But didn't you say he was out on the
range with Ray Holt? Well, I just told

1008
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,000
that to keep you from worrying because I
hoped he'd turn up every minute.

1009
01:00:24,380 --> 01:00:27,320
No one has seen Andy since right after
the accident at Calico.

1010
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:28,880
Where did he go?

1011
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:30,160
Where could he go?

1012
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:34,600
Maybe he's running away from trouble,
afraid to stick it out and face the

1013
01:00:35,340 --> 01:00:38,620
I can't believe Andy would ever do that.
I don't believe it either, but the fact

1014
01:00:38,620 --> 01:00:39,620
remains he's disappeared.

1015
01:00:39,900 --> 01:00:41,400
No, no, no, no, Mother.

1016
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,080
Bill's rounding up the cowboys, and
we're going out and look for him just as

1017
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:46,180
soon as the horses are saddled.

1018
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,180
I can't believe it.

1019
01:00:48,460 --> 01:00:50,280
Things like this don't happen to us.

1020
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,120
Oh, steady, Mother, steady.

1021
01:00:57,230 --> 01:01:00,070
You're going to see this through with me
just as we've seen everything else

1022
01:01:00,070 --> 01:01:01,070
through.

1023
01:01:01,730 --> 01:01:02,730
I will, Dave.

1024
01:01:13,410 --> 01:01:16,890
I wouldn't worry too much, Judge. The
boy's not really lost when he's with

1025
01:01:16,890 --> 01:01:17,890
Speed.

1026
01:01:18,450 --> 01:01:19,450
Look.

1027
01:01:23,790 --> 01:01:24,790
All right, men.

1028
01:01:24,950 --> 01:01:25,950
Let's go.

1029
01:02:20,460 --> 01:02:22,760
I'm sure I'm tenderfoot, you... Jake,
Jake.

1030
01:02:23,180 --> 01:02:25,780
You, you undersized, crop -eared
maverick.

1031
01:02:26,180 --> 01:02:28,720
I was never so glad to see anybody in
all my life.

1032
01:02:28,940 --> 01:02:32,260
You ain't got the brains of a doodle
-bug. Running away, were you?

1033
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:33,840
I was not.

1034
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:38,260
Might never have found you. Speed hadn't
come in. And I figured from the wild

1035
01:02:38,260 --> 01:02:40,880
oats hanging from his bed, he'd been in
this particular canyon.

1036
01:02:41,540 --> 01:02:45,840
Don't you know this country? You could
wander in circles till you bellied up.

1037
01:02:46,380 --> 01:02:49,700
You could lay till the buzzards left
nothing but your bones for the coyotes

1038
01:02:49,700 --> 01:02:54,700
chew on. Why, you, you, you ornery flat
-brained smart aleck, you... You said

1039
01:02:54,700 --> 01:02:57,000
it. That ain't the half of it.

1040
01:02:58,480 --> 01:02:59,720
Speeder bucked me off.

1041
01:03:00,340 --> 01:03:03,280
Gee, I... I can't even write a jackass.

1042
01:03:06,660 --> 01:03:12,220
Well... First, I gotta decent you up a
bit. Your mother'd faint away if I brung

1043
01:03:12,220 --> 01:03:14,140
you in looking like you'd been through a
meat chopper.

1044
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:15,800
Giddy up.

1045
01:03:18,730 --> 01:03:22,450
Have some java with me, Judge. Make you
feel better to face the messes without

1046
01:03:22,450 --> 01:03:23,408
the boy.

1047
01:03:23,410 --> 01:03:24,910
Yes, I believe I will, Ray.

1048
01:03:32,750 --> 01:03:34,890
Andrew, where have you been?

1049
01:03:35,310 --> 01:03:40,110
Well, I was out... I'm straightening him
up before I take him to his mom.

1050
01:03:40,770 --> 01:03:42,610
He's really in dreadful shape.

1051
01:03:42,970 --> 01:03:45,110
Do you realize your mother's been heart
sick about you?

1052
01:03:45,650 --> 01:03:46,710
Were you running away?

1053
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,900
Are you such a quitter that you couldn't
stay and face the damage that you've

1054
01:03:50,900 --> 01:03:52,700
done? That ain't so, Judge.

1055
01:03:52,940 --> 01:03:58,620
It was all my fault. I went plum loco
about Calico, and I kind of wandered out

1056
01:03:58,620 --> 01:03:59,620
on the range.

1057
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:04,920
Say, I would have got ate up by coyotes
and poisoned by rattlesnakes if Andy

1058
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,620
hadn't followed me and brung me back.

1059
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,860
Honest, Judge, Andy's a real tough
hombre of a hero.

1060
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,400
What are you making up a bunch of lies
like that for, Jake?

1061
01:04:16,330 --> 01:04:19,970
It was me, Pop. I was the one that was
lost, and I'd still be there yet if she

1062
01:04:19,970 --> 01:04:21,010
hadn't come and got me.

1063
01:04:28,010 --> 01:04:29,010
Here we are, kid.

1064
01:04:29,270 --> 01:04:30,650
Where's the horse with the broken leg?

1065
01:04:31,070 --> 01:04:32,070
In the barn.

1066
01:04:32,190 --> 01:04:33,190
In the barn.

1067
01:04:33,370 --> 01:04:35,330
Got here as soon as I could, like I
promised.

1068
01:04:39,870 --> 01:04:41,210
What is all this, Andrew?

1069
01:04:41,970 --> 01:04:44,130
That's where I went, Dad, to get Dr.
Hodge.

1070
01:04:44,590 --> 01:04:45,870
I read about him in a magazine.

1071
01:04:46,230 --> 01:04:50,590
He's got a new system, a hodge sling. It
holds a horse up till his leg heals.

1072
01:04:51,410 --> 01:04:54,630
That's where you don't have to... You
won't have to shoot Calico.

1073
01:04:55,450 --> 01:04:57,510
Andy, oh, you're a swell hombre.

1074
01:04:58,190 --> 01:05:02,350
Oh, that's where you're... I feel kind
of tired, Dad.

1075
01:05:02,810 --> 01:05:03,810
Kind of sick.

1076
01:05:04,710 --> 01:05:06,030
I want my mom.

1077
01:05:06,550 --> 01:05:07,550
Yeah.

1078
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:30,760
I'm very proud of Andy.

1079
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,140
Maybe you think his father isn't.

1080
01:05:35,620 --> 01:05:37,240
Emily? Yes, Dad?

1081
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:39,060
You were right.

1082
01:05:39,460 --> 01:05:41,860
We still do have trouble with the
Indians.

1083
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,980
Oh. Your plan didn't work?

1084
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:52,960
Within an hour after I'd legally
acquired that Indian's property, Bruxton

1085
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:54,160
me with his court order.

1086
01:05:55,580 --> 01:05:58,440
That Indian and Bruxton have been in
cahoots all the time.

1087
01:05:59,180 --> 01:06:02,520
They can prove that that road that leads
to the railway is an old Mexican

1088
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:04,720
-Indian trail been in use for nearly a
hundred years.

1089
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,340
Never can be closed to public traffic.

1090
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,660
That's going to be bad news for Bill and
Dora, isn't it?

1091
01:06:14,460 --> 01:06:18,520
We may lose our own home to make the
payments on that worthless land.

1092
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,320
Well, we'll go back to the little
cottage where we were married.

1093
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,200
You haven't been able to rent it since
1936 anyway.

1094
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,300
It's taken us 30 years to get where we
are.

1095
01:06:29,610 --> 01:06:33,470
We've still got everything we had 30
years ago and a great deal more.

1096
01:06:34,230 --> 01:06:36,410
Then we only dared to hope for
happiness.

1097
01:06:37,210 --> 01:06:38,210
Now we've had it.

1098
01:06:38,670 --> 01:06:41,510
We've still got it. Nothing can ever
take that away from us.

1099
01:06:43,190 --> 01:06:45,310
Let's not tell the children about this
till we get home, huh?

1100
01:06:46,390 --> 01:06:52,550
Mother dearest, I love you because the
only worry you have about tomorrow is

1101
01:06:52,550 --> 01:06:55,270
how clear is your conscience today.

1102
01:06:58,589 --> 01:07:01,150
Just imagine, a hammock for a horse.

1103
01:07:01,450 --> 01:07:04,990
It's called a Hodge sling, Mom. Dr.
Hodge invented it. And it's going to fix

1104
01:07:04,990 --> 01:07:08,130
Calico's leg as good as new, isn't it,
Uncle Bill? He'll be galloping in no

1105
01:07:08,130 --> 01:07:09,130
time. Marion!

1106
01:07:09,990 --> 01:07:10,990
Oh.

1107
01:07:12,390 --> 01:07:14,790
Jose asked me to tell you that you
wanted on the telephone.

1108
01:07:15,090 --> 01:07:16,090
Long distance.

1109
01:07:16,450 --> 01:07:17,710
He said it's your boyfriend.

1110
01:07:19,290 --> 01:07:20,650
You're a swell guy, Ray.

1111
01:07:22,270 --> 01:07:23,270
Ow!

1112
01:07:26,180 --> 01:07:28,180
Well, we're going to catch our train.

1113
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,520
Oh, Dora, we had such a lovely time.

1114
01:07:30,860 --> 01:07:34,700
Jim, it's been marvelous having you
here. I wish we could say goodbye in a

1115
01:07:34,700 --> 01:07:35,700
happier mood.

1116
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:37,720
You've done all any human being could
do.

1117
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:39,880
Don't take it to heart. We'll pull
through all right.

1118
01:07:40,220 --> 01:07:42,180
Suppose we just say we needed a miracle.

1119
01:07:42,700 --> 01:07:45,160
Everybody knows the day of miracles has
passed.

1120
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,660
You two are the grandest friends in the
world.

1121
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:52,040
Well, we've got the whole ride to the
station for goodbyes. Dora, you coming

1122
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:52,759
with us?

1123
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,100
I'm going to sit between Jim and Emily
and squeeze their hands all the way just

1124
01:07:56,100 --> 01:07:57,160
to thank them for coming.

1125
01:07:58,220 --> 01:08:01,700
Well, come on, everybody. Come on. Come
on, Andy. Oh, dear. Marion's on the

1126
01:08:01,700 --> 01:08:03,500
phone. I know we're going to miss that
train.

1127
01:08:04,020 --> 01:08:05,400
I'll tell you when we get home.

1128
01:08:06,180 --> 01:08:07,560
And we're leaving for home now.

1129
01:08:11,100 --> 01:08:12,100
Adios, Jake.

1130
01:08:12,260 --> 01:08:13,260
Adios, partner.

1131
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,640
As one last favor, what was the idea of
making me out a hero yesterday when I

1132
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,779
wasn't none at all? It's got to be that
way.

1133
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:23,180
The men folks got to get the credit, and
the women folks got to stand back.

1134
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:27,220
Even if they know they're bitter, they
got to make it look like the men folks

1135
01:08:27,220 --> 01:08:28,220
are.

1136
01:08:28,420 --> 01:08:29,899
I ain't so sure you're right.

1137
01:08:30,260 --> 01:08:31,700
What's that got to do with you and me?

1138
01:08:32,140 --> 01:08:34,819
Well, I'm kind of particular to you.

1139
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:36,760
You are?

1140
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:41,899
Well... And I figured someday, oh, not
for about five years maybe, but someday

1141
01:08:41,899 --> 01:08:44,760
you and me might get hitched, married.

1142
01:09:13,550 --> 01:09:16,170
have known Dennis was here when you're
talking that soup and fish voice.

1143
01:09:16,410 --> 01:09:19,410
Listen, did you take a stack of mail off
the hall table? There was only one for

1144
01:09:19,410 --> 01:09:23,490
you. From Polly, if I recognize that
mold, paper, and gardenia perfume.

1145
01:09:24,069 --> 01:09:26,050
Goodness, the airs children put on
nowadays.

1146
01:09:26,810 --> 01:09:29,229
My dear Miss Hardy, when was it you said
that before?

1147
01:09:30,270 --> 01:09:33,210
Oh, yes, I remember. It was the first
day that you kissed that cowboy.

1148
01:09:37,590 --> 01:09:40,410
I was going to tell you all about that,
Dennis.

1149
01:10:27,850 --> 01:10:28,850
Good night.

1150
01:11:03,209 --> 01:11:05,390
Hello, Miss Polly Benedict, please.

1151
01:11:05,690 --> 01:11:07,210
Mr. Andrew Hardy calling.

1152
01:11:09,890 --> 01:11:13,430
You say Miss Benedict's giving a party
tonight and she doesn't want to speak to

1153
01:11:13,430 --> 01:11:14,430
Mr. Hardy?

1154
01:11:15,270 --> 01:11:16,270
No,

1155
01:11:16,810 --> 01:11:18,650
no, no, no message.

1156
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:37,440
Dad, can I... Could you... I need some
advice on a subject very close to my

1157
01:11:37,440 --> 01:11:39,860
heart. A little later on, dear.

1158
01:11:40,220 --> 01:11:42,900
Just now, your father's got some bad
news for you.

1159
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:44,360
Bad news?

1160
01:11:44,700 --> 01:11:48,480
Yes, he... He's made some unfortunate
investments.

1161
01:11:48,860 --> 01:11:52,220
Well, Andy, it may be necessary for us
to economize.

1162
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:54,720
perhaps curtail our activities.

1163
01:11:55,340 --> 01:11:56,560
Why, is that all?

1164
01:11:56,780 --> 01:12:00,340
Say, you can cut my allowance from a
buck and a half, a dollar and a half a

1165
01:12:00,340 --> 01:12:01,340
to 50 cents.

1166
01:12:01,380 --> 01:12:04,920
I think we can still manage the buck and
a half.

1167
01:12:05,500 --> 01:12:07,660
Look, Dad, I'm not a kid anymore.

1168
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:11,040
It'd make me feel like I was really
growing up if I could take things along

1169
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:11,858
you grown -ups.

1170
01:12:11,860 --> 01:12:14,580
Oh, then you don't mind altering your
mode of living?

1171
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:17,500
It won't cramp your style?

1172
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,820
Look, Dad, I've got troubles that'd make
going to the poor house seem a

1173
01:12:20,820 --> 01:12:24,380
pleasure. Look, after you get through
straightening out the family finances,

1174
01:12:24,380 --> 01:12:27,600
appreciate you helping me make up my
mind whether the rest of my life I'm

1175
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:28,820
to be a man or a mouse.

1176
01:12:29,460 --> 01:12:33,820
Yes, yes, of course, but... Oh, don't
worry, Mom. Look, I can sell papers or

1177
01:12:33,820 --> 01:12:37,840
a job mowing the lawn or... Say, I could
even get a job driving a truck.

1178
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:40,900
Bless your heart, I believe you could.

1179
01:12:41,500 --> 01:12:45,700
And I know you would if we needed it,
but we won't. So you just run along now

1180
01:12:45,700 --> 01:12:47,260
and not a word to your sister yet.

1181
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:48,640
Okay, Dad.

1182
01:12:50,990 --> 01:12:54,810
I just realized something. Now that
we're poor people, we certainly can't

1183
01:12:54,810 --> 01:12:56,530
me a stiff white collar every Sunday.

1184
01:12:56,750 --> 01:12:57,750
Ha -ha!

1185
01:12:58,630 --> 01:13:02,470
Well, now that's over and done with,
maybe I'll get a little appreciation of

1186
01:13:02,470 --> 01:13:03,409
your lovely present.

1187
01:13:03,410 --> 01:13:04,410
Hmm?

1188
01:13:04,510 --> 01:13:06,630
That's very old and a unique design.

1189
01:13:09,690 --> 01:13:10,690
Looks familiar.

1190
01:13:11,230 --> 01:13:12,810
That's a map of the Northcote Valley.

1191
01:13:13,130 --> 01:13:14,130
See the stream?

1192
01:13:14,690 --> 01:13:16,310
That's nearly a hundred years old.

1193
01:13:18,150 --> 01:13:19,150
Jump in, G.

1194
01:13:19,330 --> 01:13:24,050
Hasselbeck. Goodness, do you like it
that much? Mother, according to this

1195
01:13:24,230 --> 01:13:28,350
that stream has been diverted from its
original course once it ran right

1196
01:13:28,350 --> 01:13:29,390
the Northcott property.

1197
01:13:29,710 --> 01:13:31,470
Mother, you're right. You saved the day.

1198
01:13:31,690 --> 01:13:33,230
Water can't run uphill.

1199
01:13:33,750 --> 01:13:36,230
Well, anybody knows that. I said so at
the ranch.

1200
01:13:37,190 --> 01:13:41,350
Do you mean we saved the Northcott
ranch? I mean you've saved everything,

1201
01:13:41,350 --> 01:13:42,350
Northcotts and ourselves.

1202
01:13:42,830 --> 01:13:46,710
Now the Northcotts got plenty of water,
that desert land I bought can be

1203
01:13:46,710 --> 01:13:48,970
irrigated. Oh, James, I'm so happy.

1204
01:13:50,030 --> 01:13:52,950
I didn't want to remind you, but you
remember that little house of ours

1205
01:13:52,950 --> 01:13:56,310
have any hot water? Now, you know you'd
never be happy if you didn't have your

1206
01:13:56,310 --> 01:13:57,310
warm bath every night.

1207
01:13:57,590 --> 01:13:58,910
That's all. Pass now.

1208
01:14:00,410 --> 01:14:01,950
Oh, my, George, it's too late.

1209
01:14:03,010 --> 01:14:06,710
Dora and Bill's water contract expires
today. They'll have sold out to Bruxton

1210
01:14:06,710 --> 01:14:07,950
before I could ever get there.

1211
01:14:08,530 --> 01:14:09,530
James, the telephone.

1212
01:14:09,690 --> 01:14:11,110
What? Use the telephone.

1213
01:14:11,650 --> 01:14:12,650
Oh!

1214
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:26,539
long distance.

1215
01:14:26,540 --> 01:14:29,660
Give me the ranch of William Northcott
in Medville, Arizona.

1216
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,000
Yes, Judge.

1217
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:33,320
Yes, sir.

1218
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:39,520
Now, listen. I just found out that years
ago, Bruxon had that stream diverted

1219
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:43,780
off your property, and the law says that
any time the cost of a stream is

1220
01:14:43,780 --> 01:14:48,700
changed and the water's being wasted,
it's legal to turn the stream back to

1221
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:53,720
original bed if it's necessary for the
living and sustenance of the original

1222
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:54,720
property owners.

1223
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:59,920
Man doesn't bring forth the rains or the
winter snow that feed the streams.

1224
01:15:00,380 --> 01:15:04,580
No man has the right to rob any other
man of God -given water.

1225
01:15:05,140 --> 01:15:06,400
Doro, we're saved.

1226
01:15:06,620 --> 01:15:07,800
Jim Hardy saved us.

1227
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,020
Bruxton, you go jump in your own stream,
and quick, too, because I'm going to

1228
01:15:11,020 --> 01:15:12,020
take it away from you.

1229
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:13,120
Bless you, Jim.

1230
01:15:13,980 --> 01:15:15,900
Why, with all that water, I can expand.

1231
01:15:16,380 --> 01:15:20,340
I'll buy that old Indian's property and
irrigate it. You bet your life you will,

1232
01:15:20,500 --> 01:15:24,340
because I'm going to sell you that land
for exactly what I paid for it.

1233
01:15:24,870 --> 01:15:26,990
Yippee! And another redskin bit the
dust.

1234
01:15:27,390 --> 01:15:29,310
Goodbye and love to Dora.

1235
01:15:30,730 --> 01:15:33,250
I'll get that legal ruling off the bill
right away.

1236
01:15:33,770 --> 01:15:36,830
James, I knew you'd find some excuse to
get out of unpacking.

1237
01:15:37,830 --> 01:15:41,530
Andy, I'm so happy I'm not even going to
make you do your own unpacking.

1238
01:15:43,090 --> 01:15:45,830
Listen, if I were you, I'd go and pay my
respects to Miss Polly Benedict.

1239
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:19,140
Pop, I know you're busy, but I think
it's about time we had one of those man

1240
01:16:19,140 --> 01:16:20,140
-man talks.

1241
01:16:20,340 --> 01:16:22,980
We seem to get the best results that
way, son.

1242
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,880
Well, man -to -man, I've been jilted.

1243
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:31,400
I beg your pardon?

1244
01:16:32,180 --> 01:16:35,340
Jilted, you know, tossed aside like an
old pair of shoes or something.

1245
01:16:37,500 --> 01:16:39,020
Polly Benedict, I presume.

1246
01:16:39,440 --> 01:16:40,720
You bet, Polly Benedict.

1247
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:46,460
But, you know, before we went out west,
well, I had a row with Polly and, well,

1248
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:50,860
I was riding kind of high about that
time and... Go on.

1249
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:55,760
Well, that's about all. I wrote her a
letter from the ranch and she sent me

1250
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:57,520
letter back and didn't even open it up.

1251
01:16:58,140 --> 01:17:00,240
Now she won't even speak to me over the
phone.

1252
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:02,300
Dad, you've got to help me out.

1253
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:04,780
You must have had some trouble with
women in your day.

1254
01:17:05,480 --> 01:17:08,160
Yes, I seem to remember some little
difficulties.

1255
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:12,840
She's going to have a party tonight,
and, well, gee, she invited me to the

1256
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:19,300
party, too. But, well, and she got
fresh. I mean, I got fresh, and, well,

1257
01:17:19,300 --> 01:17:23,600
afraid she won't speak to me again after
I've given her some of the best years

1258
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:24,600
of my life.

1259
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,520
Well, that is pretty serious.

1260
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,200
It's things like this that puts gray
hairs in a man's head.

1261
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,220
You say Polly asked you to attend a
party.

1262
01:17:38,860 --> 01:17:39,759
Certainly did.

1263
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:42,060
Well, in that case, we have a
contractual offer.

1264
01:17:43,020 --> 01:17:44,600
Were there any revocations?

1265
01:17:44,900 --> 01:17:45,900
Huh?

1266
01:17:46,100 --> 01:17:47,880
Did she take it back?

1267
01:17:48,340 --> 01:17:49,340
No, sir.

1268
01:17:49,740 --> 01:17:54,140
Then, well, I didn't get around to
saying yes, I could come, and she didn't

1269
01:17:54,140 --> 01:17:55,420
around to saying I couldn't.

1270
01:17:55,660 --> 01:17:56,660
Very good.

1271
01:17:57,380 --> 01:18:01,780
Thus, we have the continuing of an offer
which can ripen into a contract by the

1272
01:18:01,780 --> 01:18:03,000
mere fact of your acceptance.

1273
01:18:03,660 --> 01:18:05,340
You can accept by attending.

1274
01:18:06,340 --> 01:18:08,320
Technically, Andy, that's an overt act.

1275
01:18:09,380 --> 01:18:14,560
Constitutes the acceptance of an offer
of a unilateral contract molding all the

1276
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:19,340
entire negotiations into a valid
contract with the necessary quid pro

1277
01:18:19,340 --> 01:18:20,880
that solves your problem.

1278
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:25,160
Understand?

1279
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,040
Does that mean I can go to the party?

1280
01:18:30,500 --> 01:18:31,980
Counsel recommends attendance.

1281
01:18:32,740 --> 01:18:34,960
What will I do, Dad, if I'm thrown out
of the house?

1282
01:18:35,420 --> 01:18:38,780
That event will sue for assault and
battery and lessening of your social

1283
01:18:38,780 --> 01:18:39,780
prestige.

1284
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:45,980
Now, now, listen, son.

1285
01:18:46,460 --> 01:18:50,600
I see your trouble and I understand it
perfectly, for believe it or not, I was

1286
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:51,780
16 once myself.

1287
01:18:52,260 --> 01:18:56,700
Now, you go to the party and you act the
humility and apology I see in you now,

1288
01:18:56,820 --> 01:18:58,900
and good luck to you.

1289
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:01,260
Oh, boy, oh, boy.

1290
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,620
Gee, Dad, am I glad you're a judge.

1291
01:19:05,610 --> 01:19:08,470
No, I can't go to the party.

1292
01:19:09,150 --> 01:19:11,970
Because it's a costume party and I
haven't got a costume.

1293
01:19:13,110 --> 01:19:15,910
Oh, wait, I've got an idea.

1294
01:19:16,510 --> 01:19:21,370
Why don't you... Evening, Mr. Hardy.

1295
01:19:21,650 --> 01:19:23,510
Good evening, Ambrose.

1296
01:19:27,310 --> 01:19:29,010
Oh, there's Andy Hardy.

1297
01:19:29,330 --> 01:19:30,930
Hi, Andy. How you doing, Andy?

1298
01:19:33,230 --> 01:19:34,230
Mr. Hardy.

1299
01:19:34,540 --> 01:19:36,320
I hardly recognized you in that costume.

1300
01:19:36,580 --> 01:19:37,559
Your hat, sir?

1301
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,960
No, thanks, Ambrose. I may need it in a
hurry. Yes, sir.

1302
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:49,920
If you're always telling me things like
that, I'm getting so I can't believe a

1303
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,240
word you say. No, really, Polly, I mean
it.

1304
01:20:02,300 --> 01:20:03,300
Shall we?

1305
01:20:03,690 --> 01:20:04,648
Excuse me, please.

1306
01:20:04,650 --> 01:20:05,650
All right.

1307
01:20:11,910 --> 01:20:13,230
Good evening, Mr. Hardy.

1308
01:20:14,090 --> 01:20:16,150
Good evening, Miss Benedict.

1309
01:20:17,730 --> 01:20:20,730
Kind of surprised to see me at your
party, ain't you?

1310
01:20:21,130 --> 01:20:22,470
Aren't you? Yes, I am.

1311
01:20:23,470 --> 01:20:24,850
You invited me.

1312
01:20:25,130 --> 01:20:26,130
Did I?

1313
01:20:26,450 --> 01:20:28,390
Yeah. Don't you remember?

1314
01:20:28,990 --> 01:20:30,550
Oh, I suppose I must have.

1315
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:34,640
For I'm sure Judge Hardy's son is too
well -bred to come where he's not

1316
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:36,900
Oh. A glass of punch?

1317
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:38,240
No.

1318
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:42,480
Shall I ask one of the girls to dance
with you? No.

1319
01:20:42,900 --> 01:20:43,900
Polly.

1320
01:20:44,440 --> 01:20:48,340
Darling, what about our dance? Oh, I'm
so sorry, Cliff, dear. I'll only be a

1321
01:20:48,340 --> 01:20:50,480
minute. I had my duties as a hostess,
you know.

1322
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:52,820
Especially toward the neighbor's
children.

1323
01:20:53,440 --> 01:20:54,620
I'll give you one minute, honey.

1324
01:20:57,460 --> 01:20:58,460
Well?

1325
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:00,940
Polly. Who was that?

1326
01:21:01,340 --> 01:21:02,340
Cliff Thomas.

1327
01:21:02,420 --> 01:21:03,480
Isn't he handsome?

1328
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:05,820
Yeah. Oh, yeah.

1329
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:08,180
Oh, you don't sound as if you meant it.

1330
01:21:08,620 --> 01:21:10,080
Sure I do. Geez.

1331
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,680
He's one of the handsomest white men I
ever saw.

1332
01:21:14,340 --> 01:21:16,160
Cliff is Father's New York
representative.

1333
01:21:16,780 --> 01:21:19,380
Father says he's the most promising
young man in the corporation.

1334
01:21:20,440 --> 01:21:21,660
He does, does he?

1335
01:21:22,660 --> 01:21:24,420
He's promising, huh?

1336
01:21:26,620 --> 01:21:27,620
Of course.

1337
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,360
Nobody's supposed to know it yet, but...
But what?

1338
01:21:30,660 --> 01:21:32,260
Well, he and... Oh.

1339
01:21:32,740 --> 01:21:33,740
Shh,

1340
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:34,960
here he comes.

1341
01:21:37,380 --> 01:21:42,020
Oh, Cliff, dear, I'd like you to know
Mr. Hardy. Mr. Hardy, Mr. Thomas. How do

1342
01:21:42,020 --> 01:21:42,499
you do?

1343
01:21:42,500 --> 01:21:43,500
How do you do?

1344
01:21:44,060 --> 01:21:45,980
I've been telling Mr. Hardy about you,
Cliff.

1345
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,060
It's still a secret, but Cliff's going
to Europe for father's firm.

1346
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:54,620
And he has the loveliest wife and the
two most adorable children.

1347
01:21:56,170 --> 01:22:00,010
Gee, Mr. Thomas, glad to know you. Gosh,
a wife and babies is what every man

1348
01:22:00,010 --> 01:22:00,688
should have.

1349
01:22:00,690 --> 01:22:05,090
Thanks. Say, you're the Andy Hardy
Polly's always talking about, the star

1350
01:22:05,090 --> 01:22:06,090
basketball team.

1351
01:22:06,410 --> 01:22:10,030
Gee, Mr. Thomas, things like that get
exaggerated and cause a lot of harm.

1352
01:22:10,450 --> 01:22:13,870
Gosh, I wouldn't have been able to make
a single goal all season if the other

1353
01:22:13,870 --> 01:22:16,410
fellas hadn't put the ball right in my
hands. You're too modest.

1354
01:22:16,730 --> 01:22:17,870
Go to work on him, Polly.

1355
01:22:19,170 --> 01:22:21,850
That's strange talk for a man of
destiny.

1356
01:22:23,650 --> 01:22:24,650
That's right, Polly.

1357
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:26,200
Go ahead, rub it in.

1358
01:22:26,580 --> 01:22:27,840
I've got it coming to me.

1359
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:31,040
There's something I want to talk to you
about. Come with me.

1360
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:39,900
What was in that letter you wrote to me,
Andy?

1361
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:44,120
Oh, nothing. It just said... I mean, I
just said that, well, I was sorry and

1362
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:48,560
that I wanted you to forgive me and a
lot of other things.

1363
01:22:48,860 --> 01:22:49,860
What things?

1364
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:51,800
Oh, nothing. Just things.

1365
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:56,880
Darling. Before I left Carville, I was
sure I cared enough for you.

1366
01:22:57,180 --> 01:22:58,440
Now I know I do.

1367
01:22:58,740 --> 01:23:00,080
How did you know I wrote that?

1368
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,960
I steamed your letter open and read it
before I sent it back to you.

1369
01:23:04,340 --> 01:23:06,140
And I want that picture of you on the
Bronco.

1370
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,600
Gee, Polly, that wasn't me at all.

1371
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:11,880
That was a double exposure.

1372
01:23:23,550 --> 01:23:26,930
That's not the kind of kiss I'd expect
from the terror of the rain.
