[ Mooing ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Come in.You wanted to see me?

Yeah. Got this announcement
in the mail.

They're gonna have
a Galloway bull auction
in Durango.

And I'd sure like to have
a couple of Galloway bulls.

They don't come cheap.

I may have to settle
for one.

You're really serious
about this.

Why? Don't you think
it's a good idea?

It's always a good idea
to upgrade your stock, but...

just thought it might
squeeze you a little bit
this time of year.

Well, it'll hurt a little,

but I think
I can stand the pain
for an investment like that.

Want to make the trip
to Durango?

I'd rather not leave
the ranch right now.

Some of those new hands we hired
aren't the greatest.

I'd like to stick around
and keep an eye on 'em.Mmm.

What about Trampas?
Think he could handle it?

Trampas is as good a judge
of livestock as anyone I know,
if that's what you mean.

Well, that's part
of what I mean.

He'll be on his own
as far as the bidding
is concerned.

I'll give him a ceiling,
but below that
it'll be up to him...

how much of my money
he spends.

And I've heard it
whispered around...

that Trampas can be
a little careless with money.

Only his own.

All right then,
Trampas it is.

You know what? It might be
a good idea to send
somebody else along with him.

In case they can't get
freight space on the train,
have to drive the bull back,

it'd be safer
to have two men along.

Who do you suggest?How about Dave Sutton?

You think he's had
experience enough?

No, but this is
one way to get it.

[ Chuckles ]
On my payroll.

Ah, he won't get
in any trouble.
You know that.

He might even be a
good influence on Trampas.Or vice versa.

I wouldn't worry
about that.

You know what
the boys say about him--
Dependable Dave.

[ Laughs ]
Yeah. Oh, here.

You can take this back
with you. I've finished with it.Thanks.

[ Knocking ]

Come in.

Cook said you wanted
to see me.Yeah. Where's Trampas?

Yo.Come on in
and shut the door.

It was an accident.What was an accident?

Uh, whatever we're on
the carpet for.

They're auctioning off
some Galloway bulls
in Durango next week.

Mr. Grainger wants you to go
down, take a look at 'em and
bid on 'em if they look good.

Galloway bulls?
[ Whistles ]
Can't do better than that.

There's a train
out of here tonight.
Think you can make it?

- Sure.
- Dave?

You bet. But what's
he need me for?

You may not be able to get
freight space back for 'em
this time of year.

- If he has to drive 'em back,
he'll need an extra hand.
- Hey, that's great.

Yeah. I've never
been to Durango.

[ Laughs ]
I have.

You didn't like it?

All I remember about it
is I was trying to fill
an inside straight and missed.

Full month's pay.

You better start packing.
Check with Mr. Grainger
before you go.

Yo. And Trampas.

- This is a business trip.
- [ Stammers ]

Well, come on, old buddy.
We don't want to keep
the dancing girls waiting.

[ Chuckles ]
Durango.

Come on, Trampas.
Make up your mind.
I'd love to get some sleep.

Don't rush me.We've been playing ever
since we left Medicine Bow.

All right. I'll call.

Full house.Ah. One more hand.
Come on.

Look, Trampas--You can't quit while
you're ahead like that.

It's not fair.But we're only playing
for matches.

I'll get you a whole box
of matches if you'll just
let me get some sleep.

It's not the matches.
It's the principle
of the thing. Come on.

One more hand.
Showdown.

Here. Your deal. Deal.All right, one hand.
That's it.

You know, it's funny.
I-- I can't sleep
on a train.

Why don't you try
closing your eyes?
[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughs ]
Very funny.
Very funny.

I got four cards.Oh.

[ Exhales ]
Hmm.

One.One.

How many?Two.

Two.[ Whistles ]

I'll take none.None?

[ Clears Throat ]All right.

I bet a hundred.But you haven't got
a hundred.

I'm light 95.

Call.Huh?

Three aces.You win.

That's more like it.

All right.
Thanks, Dave.

I think I'll get some
sleep now. Good night.Good night.

I'm wide awake now.

[ Snoring ]

Yeah.

Well, what do you think
of the big city?

Uh, doesn't look much different
from Medicine Bow.

Don't let the natives
hear you say that.

They think they got
a real live town here.

Uh, why don't you check us
into the hotel while I go see
the man about the money.

All right.

And David.Huh?

Don't get lost.

[ Laughs ]

♪♪ [ Whistling ]

[ Door Opens ]

You look pretty
this morning, Martha,
for a spinster.

Isn't it a little early
for that, Mrs. Lacey?Not at your age.

You sound as if I was ready
to join your sewing circle.

I'll take it up
with the membership.

Ma, when are you going
to stop this?

Right after
the weddin' ceremony.

Oh. Somebody would think
I don't want to be married.

You do need a man,
you know.

Well, there's more of them
than there is of us.

Oh, I don't mean
just any man.

And I can't stand here
discussing it with you
or I'll be late for work.

My gloves!

Oh. I see you
found them.
Your gloves.

Oh. Oh, yes.

Well, good-bye.

Bye, miss.

Well, don't just
stand there, Henry.
Do something.

What do you suggest?

[ Clopping Hooves ]

Looks like you got trouble.

[ Henry ]
I lost the cotter pin.

I could get one at
the general store, but
gettin' this wheel on--

Excuse me, ma'am.

[ Grunts ]

[ Exhales ]
Want to set
that wheel straight?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Never seen anything
like that in my life.

Pleasure to be of help.

[ Metal Clanking ]

We thank you.

Much obliged.

Don't forget
that cotter pin.Thank you.

Oh! I'm sorry.I'm sorry.

Did I hurt you?No. No, I'm fine.

[ Laughs ][ Chuckles ]

Are you sure
you're all right?Yes. Yes, I'm fine.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Is there anything I can do?No, really.

Would you just stand there?

Just... stand here.

I'd be ever so grateful.

I'm Martha Carson.

Glad to meet you.
I'm David Sutton.

Oh! I'm glad to know you.

[ Groans ]

I feel like I'm playing
Going to Jerusalem.

Believe me, I'm not playing.

Would you mind telling me
what you aredoin'?

You're a stranger
in Durango, aren't you?

Least we've established
something. I'm from
Medicine Bow in Wyoming.

- Then you're just visiting.
- If it's all right with you.

Well, it might be if, uh--

Let me see.

I washed 'em just before
I got off the train.

- Oh. That's not it
at all, Mr.--
- Sutton.

Mr. Sutton.
I was only wondering--

You're not wearing
a wedding ring.Most bachelors don't.

- Are you engaged?
- Are you taking a census?

Please, this is
terribly important.

I am not engaged.

Will you be? To me?

Just for a little while.

Just until you leave.

- Miss, uh--
- Carson.

Miss Carson, I may look as if
I'm from the country, but--

Not in the slightest,
I assure you.

Good. Then if you'll
excuse me.

No! You can't go yet.

Miss Carson,

it's not in my nature
to be rude to a lady,

and I do thank you for
your very flattering offer--

-But you said you'd do anything.
-I said, "Is there anything
I can do?"

Yes, there is.
Be my fiancé.

Now you're starting that again. But you wouldn't have
to do anything.

Just say that you are.

Don't you think this
has gone far enough?

That's what I keep
trying to tell him,
but he won't listen. He--

Don't you understand?

I need you for protection.

Is someone threatening you?

Oh, it's more than a threat.

He keeps saying
he's going to marry me.
And I say no. No!

And he goes away.
And then he comes back,
like a full moon.

A full moon?

You know what I mean.
He keeps showing up.

He-- He's back now.

He's right over there.

If-- If I tell him I'm engaged,

then he'll have to go away...
forever.

Just until I leave?Oh!

I'll never be able
to thank you.

You're the kindest man
in the world.

I-- I have to hurry now.

Now wait.
How do we work this?

I live at Ma Lacey's
on Elm Street.

Meet me there at 5:00
and I'll tell you.
No, 6:00.

- Make it 6:00, Mr.--
- Sutton!

Sit down, Mr. Trampas.Thank you.

Well, Mr. Grainger
has authorized a draft,

on the First National
of Medicine Bow, up to $5,000.

- That's it.
- To be drawn
at your discretion.

Well, we might not need
all of it. I'm here for
the Galloway bulls auction.

I'm at your service, sir.

I'll need your signature--

Oh, excuse me.Good morning, Martha.

I'm sorry I'm late,
Mr. Burnside.Perfectly all right.

[ Door Closes ] Now, if you'll just give me
a minute to fill out this draft.

Morning.

I'm back, Martha.So I see.

I was just looking at a dress
that you ought to have
for your trousseau.

My trousseau is none
of your affair.

Well, a girl can't get married
without a trousseau.

I'm aware of that.

I keep forgettin'
how pretty you are.

If you go away
right this minute,
I'll send you a picture.

Oh, no. The only picture
I want's our wedding picture.

I'm not going
to marry you... ever.

Isn't that kind of
a foolish way to feel?

Here I am with a good ranch
I bought just for us...

and a house just waitin'
for you to make it
a honeymoon cottage.

And here are you,
alone in the world--Not anymore.

- Needing a man
to look after you.
- I've got a man.

Somebody who'll take
good care of you--
What did you say?

I'm engaged.

You mean to somebody else?

That's right. How can you be?

Doesn't he know about us?

There's nothing to know
about us.

[ Door Opens ]But we're gonna be married.

No. My fiancé and I...

are going to be married.

Good morning,
Mrs. Mauder.Good morning, Martha.

Morning, ma'am.Good morning.

Who is this poacher?He's a fine gentleman.

And now, if you'll excuse me,
there's someone waiting.

Beg pardon, ma'am,
but this little girl's
happiness...

is the most important thing
in the world to me.

That's quite all right.
I'm in no hurry.Thank you, ma'am.

Do I know him?

I doubt it.
He's new in town.

In that case, you haven't
known him very long.

Well, it was love
at first sight.

He swept me off my feet.

I don't trust fellas like that.
What do you know about him?

I simply can't discuss it
any further.
Especially now.

I'm engaged to be married
and that's all there is to it.

So if you'll please
just step aside.

I couldn't help overhearing,
Martha. Congratulations.

Thank you.

When is the happy day?

Well, we just got engaged.

I can hardly wait
to meet the lucky man,

even though you'll be
leaving the bank.

Leaving?

Oh. Uh, well,
not right away.

Oh. A woman's place
is in the home, Martha.

- Well, would you give me
my withdrawal?
- I am.

Well, I never saw that
much money in all my life.

Oh![ Laughs ]

Oh, I remember when
Eli Mauder proposed to me,
God rest his soul.

I washed the same dress
eight times.

- [ Chuckles ]
- [ Bills Rustling ]

Thank you.
Much obliged.That's what we're here for.

Uh, good day.

Good day.

Tiny Morgan!Well, I'll be.

[ Chuckles ]
Trampas.

[ Laughs ]
Oh. Almost forgot.
Easy now.

Same old Trampas.
It's been a long time.

Yeah. That it has.

How you been?Oh, I'm just fine. Just fine.
Hey, you're lookin' good.

Looks like
you're eating regular.Yeah?

You work around here?

Nope. Got my own place now,
up near Pueblo.
How 'bout you?

I'm still at Shiloh Ranch,
just outside of Medicine Bow.

Boss sent me and another fella
down here to that
Galloway bulls auction.

I sure hope I get me
one of those Galloways.

You look like you're doing
real fine. Yes, sir.

Say, you ever get married?

Well, that's kind
of a long story.

Oh. Well, come on.
Let's talk about it
over a beer.

We got a lot
of catching up to do.Trampas.

Later. I... don't feel
much like talking
about it right now.

Oh. Yeah.

All right, Tiny.
See you later.

Hello, pardner.Howdy.

Well, everything go all right
at the bank?Yep, we're in business.

Good.I thought you'd be all unpacked
by now, out seeing the sights.

There was a slight delay.Oh? What happened?

I got engaged.

That's very funny.
What did happen?I told you. I got engaged.

Just like that?
I leave you in a strange town
for five minutes,

and you get yourself
engaged.Yup.

An old girlfriend.
You haven't seen her for
a long time and you decided--

Never saw her before
in my life.

Well, I've heard of whirlwind
courtships in my day,
but this beats 'em all.

- There wasn't any courtship.
- Marriage broker?

[ Chuckles ]
Don't be silly.

Don't be--
Look who's talkin'.
[ Chuckles ]

I--

David, are you serious?

Yeah.You are.

Well, you mind telling me
just how this happened?

Well, uh, I was on the way
to the hotel,
and she bumped into me.

- And you proposed.
- Oh, no, she did.

She-- I see.

David, which pocket do
you keep your money in?

- See? She's not
that kind of girl.
- What kind of girl is she?

She bumps into a total stranger
in the middle of the street
and asks him to marry her?

- Must be a good-looker.
- She is.

I'll bet.

The truth is,
I'm doing her a favor.Sure you are.

You're the catch
of the season.

She didn't ask me
to marry her.
Just be engaged to her.

There's a difference. Oh, I know.

First you get engaged,
then you get married.We're not gonna get married.

You broke up already?
Well, now that was quick.

Let me see.
You've been in this town
exactly... 37 minutes,

and in that space of time,
you've gotten yourself
engaged and--

- What?
- I was just having
some fun with you.

The truth is--Mm-hmm.

there's this little fella
that keeps pestering her
to marry him.

Won't take no for an answer.
So she thought if she
told him she was engaged,

he'd leave her alone,
and he'd go back
where he came from.

- That's all there is to it.
- Is that-- Oh.

Well, you know
what I think?What?

That story sounds nuttier
than the first one.

- Yeah, it is, isn't it?
- Mm-hmm.

But what other reason
could she have?

Breach of promise.

Of course I was
telling the truth.

You saw for yourself.
Tiny Morgan.
I pointed him out to you.

Well, that's what
I told Trampas.

He's just got
a suspicious mind.

- However, if you don't want
to go through with it--
- Sure I do. I'm glad to help.

You don't sound like it,
coming over here to question me.

I told you that
was Trampas's idea.

I'll see you at 5:00.6:00.

6:00.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.
I wasn't looking
where I was going.

I-- I was thinking
about something else.

That's all right.

Thank you.

I told you before--This won't take long.
I've been thinking about it,

and I just wanted to tell you
if this fella,
whatever his name is--

Sutton.
David Sutton.

Well, if he's what you want,
I won't stand in the way.

That's sweet of you, Tiny.

Then you'll be going back
to your ranch?

Soon as the auction's
over tomorrow.

I was gonna buy a bull
as a wedding present
to both of us.

I'm still gonna buy one,
but it won't be the same.

You'll find somebody, Tiny.
I'm sure you will.

Not like you.

Good luck, Martha.

Thank you.

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

Congratulations!
Ethel Mauder told me the news.

Oh, aren't you the sly one.

Carrying on right under my nose,
and I never knew
a thing about it.

And aren't you ashamed,
not telling me before
you told Ethel Mauder?

Well, I--When did it happen?

Who is he?
Oh, tell me all about it.

There isn't much to tell.Oh, listen to her.

I suppose you just bumped
into him on the street
and got engaged.

What makes you say that?Well, you won't say anything.

No matter.
The important thing is
you got one.

What's he like?

Well, he--
he's very nice.

- Is that him?
- Yes.

He looks kind
of peaked to me.

But then, bachelors
never do eat right.

Hello, David. Hi.

Martha.This is Ma Lacey.

Pleased to meet you.How do you do?

You can kiss her now,
young man.

You're engaged.Oh, yeah. I forgot.

Won't you come in?Thank you.

Well, I'll, uh,
leave you two alone.

It was nice to have met you,
Mr., um--Sutton.

David Sutton.
Mrs. David Sutton.

[ Chuckles ]
Oh, sounds nice.

I'm sorry about
what happened out there.

All in the line of duty.You're really a good sport.

Damsel in distress,
as the saying goes.

Won't you sit down?

Thank you.

Did you have a busy day?

Well, uh, I became engaged.

Here you are.

Might as well start
fattening him up right now.

Help yourself.

They look delicious.Take a couple.

Martha made them herself.

I'll leave the tray.Thank you.

Thank your fiancée
for being such a good cook.

[ Door Closes ]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to let you in
for all of this.

It's all right.
I love cookies.

Did you really make 'em
yourself?

No.

This suitor of yours,
did you tell him
about our engagement?

This morning.Did it work?

Yes. He's going away.
But not until tomorrow.

Do you mind keeping this up
just for one more day?

Course not.
You know,
my father always said,

if you take on a job,
no matter how unpleasant it is--

I don't mean this is
unpleasant. That's just
the way the saying went.

I understand.

Well, I guess
I better be going.

I don't know how
to thank you.

Say, now that so many people
know about it,

how are you gonna
explain it to 'em when
I go back to Medicine Bow?

I don't know. I hadn't counted
on the news spreading so fast.

Maybe we could have a fight,
and then you could break
the engagement--

I mean,
after the other fellow leaves.

I'll worry about that later.

Oh! Excuse me.Oh, excuse me!

Guess what!
Lucy Williams just
stopped by to tell me...

the sewing circle
is gonna give you a shower.

They can't. Now, Martha, we insist.

But--Not another word.

Won't it be fun,
Mr. Sutton?

Starting your married life
with all the linens you'll need?

But I have linen
in my hope chest.

Well, then we'll make it
a kitchen shower.

I know you don't have pots
and pans in your hope chest.

Sounds fine.

I was just leaving.Good-bye, you lucky boy.

Good-bye.

Good-bye, Martha.

Well, he isn't much,
but any old port in a storm.

[ Door Closes ]

Hello. How 'bout a drink?

[ Woman #2 ]
Hello. How 'bout a drink?

Hello, Tiny.Hi.

What'll you have?
I'm buying.

I don't feel like drinking.Hmm?

Maybe you didn't
hear me right.
I said I'm buying.

I heard you.Say, you must be
in bad shape.

You ever been disappointed
in love?

Oh. Dozens of times.
Dozens of times.

I mean the real thing.

The one girl in the world.

Oh. Well, yeah.

They all are,
till the next one
comes along.

I didn't think
you'd understand.

Oh. I'm sorry, buddy. I--

You wanna talk about it?

There isn't much
to tell now.

She just got engaged
to marry somebody else.

Oh.

Well, that's tough.

He must be a real charmer,

the way he come into town
and swept her off her feet.

- Uh, you say he just
came into town?
- That's right.

Not a local boy?
You sure?

Course I'm sure.
She just told me.

Oh. But you don't know him?

No. Never laid eyes on him.

But I'd sure like to.

Yeah, but--

Uh, you don't know
his name then.

Yeah. She told me his name.

David Sutton.

Sutton?

[ Footsteps Approach ]

Um--
[ Clears Throat ]

Tiny, I'll see you
in a minute.

Hey, I've been looking
for you.

You were wrong about her.
I got nothing
to worry about.

You've got a lot to worry about.
You've drawn a bad hand, chum.
Now let's get outta here.

No, she assured me--You don't have
all the facts.

Now that rival of yours
is a mighty tough man.Well, I can handle him.

Have you seen him?Yeah, she pointed him
out to me.

- And you still think
you can handle him?
- No problem.

Well, I
underestimated you, chum.

You got a lot of guts
for a man your size.

What about his size?
You know what they call him?

- Yeah, well, that's a joke.
- Not if you've seen him.

I've seen him.Close up?

As close as you and I are.And you still think
he's tough?

- Mm-hmm.
The toughest man I ever met.
- What, that ribbon clerk?

- He's not a ribbon clerk.
- I don't care what he is.

I just don't see how you can
stand there and tell me
I'm supposed to be afraid of--

- David, listen to me--
- Trampas, youlisten.

I'm not looking for trouble,
but if he's foolish enough
to start something,

then I can handle him,
morning, noon, or night.David--

David--With one hand tied
behind my back.

Hi.Hello.
And furthermore--

I'm Louise.
I was just telling
my girlfriend...

that you looked like
the sort of man
that'd buy a girl a drink.

- I'm sorry. We're busy.
- What's the matter?
Can't he talk for himself?

- No.
- You want me to leave,
all you gotta do is say so.

Well, no, I wouldn't
talk like that to a lady.

Is that supposed to be
some kind of crack?

What do you mean?

No, I guess it isn't.

Thanks, mister.
Forget I bothered you. Oh, no, not at all.

- It'd be a pleasure to
buy you a drink. Come on.
- Thanks.

Now that's how a gentleman
buys a lady a drink.
Straight whiskey.

David--[ Mutters ]

David. Uh--

To your good health.

Where you from,
honey?Medicine Bow.

Are they all
as nice as you are
in Medicine Bow?

What'd you walk away for?Uh--

Well, I had to talk
to this fella.
Why don't we go back?

Why?
What's the difference?It's too crowded here.

Crowded?Excuse me.

Yes.What's your name,
big boy?

David Sutton.Uh--

Boy, it's hot in here.
Why don't we get
some fresh air?

- Did you say your name
was David Sutton?
- Yeah, that's right.

- Hey, this is a private party.
- Party's over, ma'am.

But he's with me.That's just why I'm here.
This man's engaged.

[ Louise ]
Oh.

She's a lucky woman.

[ Tiny ]
Yep, and I aim
to keep her that way.

You're leavin'.Just a minute.

Hey, set him down,
you big bully!

- I can take care of myself.
- No, you can't.

Do you wanna walk or do you
wanna ride out of here?

Uh, now, look, Tiny--
Tiny--

Tiny? Not Tiny Morgan?

That's right.
I don't know what
Martha sees in you,

but as long as you're what
she wants, you're what
she's gonna get.

So don't go fooling around
with other women.

[ Inaudible ]

Understand?He understands.

I wanna hear it from him.

[ Pebbles Clattering ]

[ Clattering ]

David.
What in heaven's name--

- [ Whispering ]
I'm breaking the engagement.
- Breaking--

- Shh!
- But why?

The last time I saw you,

you said everything
was going to be all right.

That was before
I saw Tiny Morgan.

But you saw him this morning.

I never saw him before
in my life till 10 minutes ago.

Yes, you did. Don't you remember
when I bumped into you?

Yes, as though
it just happened.

He was
in front of Milady's Modes.

And I pointed him out to you.

- You pointed someone out to me.
- That was Tiny.

Then he's grown a lot.

There's something wrong.

There certainly is.

No! Wait! [ Whispering ]
I'll be right down.

- [ Door Opens ]
- Oh, no, you won't. You stay
right where you are, miss.

Unless you're thinkin'
of movin'.

Please, Ma.
This is terribly important.

So's the reputation
of my boardinghouse.

Young man,
you look respectable.

So you get before I change
my mind about you.

We were just having
a conversation.

Well, I'm postponing it
till daylight.

You can walk me to the bank
in the morning,

dear.

Why don't you get some rest
for the journey?

[ Martha ]
See you in the morning.

Won't I?

Come for breakfast.
Time your fiancée
learned to cook.

[ Grunts ]

Oh, boy.
Is this the life.

Nice soft bed, uh--

David.Yo.

What are you doing up
so early?I got a date for breakfast.

Break-- You sure haven't
wasted any time on this trip.

It wasn't my idea.
Martha's landlady invited me
over for breakfast.

Don't tell me
you're trying to
romance her too.

[ Laughs ]
Course not.

[ Laughs ]
Well, it only makes sense.

First, it's Martha.
Then it's the girl
at the saloon.

Seems to me you're trying
to corral every single girl
in this town.

Well, all I did last night
was buy that girl a drink.

Yeah.
[ Laughs ]

Boy, did you look funny
sitting up on that bar.

Huh. Must be great
to have a sense of humor.

Well, I tried to tell you.
"No problem," you said.

"I can handle him with one hand
tied behind my back," you said.
Big Tiny.

Hey, maybe that was the problem.
You didn't have one hand
tied behind your back.

[ Mock Chuckle ]
I'll see you at the auction,

if you can stop laughing
long enough.

Wait till I tell 'em
back at the ranch.

[ Laughing ]You don't mean that.

It'll help pass the long
winter nights around the fire.

I thought we were friends. Yeah, we are friends.

It's too good to--

Unless--

Unless you want to take my turn
bringing in the horses
in the morning.

- You only have to get up
an hour earlier.
- That's blackmail.

Couldn't have said it
better myself.

All right. You got a deal.

[ Door Closes ]

That was an excellent
breakfast.

You sound as surprised
as Ma was.No, not at all.

I didn't always work in a bank.
Well, here we are.

Now, we were standing
over there.

And they were right here.
Excuse me.

Mr. Glodder. You don't have
to do all this.

- I really believe you.
- [ Whispering ]
You didn't last night.

Dear people, let me extend
my warmest felicitations.

Mr. Glodder, would you
do something for me?Your servant, noble lady.

Would you stand
right here? And--

Here?Yes. And, David,
you stand right there.

Mr. Glodder,
were you standing here
yesterday morning?

Uh, not unlikely.

Now this is very important.
It was about 9:00.

And you were with somebody.A customer?

That's what I want you to
tell us. Someone was looking
in the window, and then...

you came out.

Hmm.

Oh. Tiny Morgan.

Yeah, he was admiring
a dress in the window.

Thank you, Mr. Glodder.

You have only to command.

To the victor
go the spoils.
[ Chuckles ]

Charge accounts invited,
dear sir.

You make a lovely couple.

I don't see how
you could have thought
he was my fiancé.

I mean, Mr. Glodder's
a very nice man, but he's
old enough to be my father.

I told you. I didn't get
that good a look at him.

All I know is
he was no Tiny Morgan.

I'm terribly sorry.
I didn't mean
to deceive you.

It's all right.
It wasn't your fault.The whole thing is my fault.

I've been terribly unfair
to you, Mr. Sutton.

David.
No, you haven't.

Yes, I have.
I practically accosted
you in the street.

I knew what I was
getting into.No, you didn't.

I didn't either.
But I want you to know
you can get out of it.

I've caused you enough trouble.You haven't caused me
any trouble.

Besides, the way news
travels around here, I couldn't
get out of it if I wanted to.

You're sure?Positive.

Unless I want to get
ridden out of town on a rail.[ Laughs ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Tiny ]
Good morning.

Good morning, Tiny.

I wanted to tell you that I
won't be leaving right away.Oh?

I decided to stay around
for the wedding.

But we haven't set
the date. What are you waitin' for?

If Martha had said yes to me,
I'd have been married
10 minutes later.

Well, you see,
it's not that easy.

Sure is.
There's the church.

Preacher is in it,
and I'll give the bride away.

[ Martha ]
You will not.

You see, we thought
we'd have a quiet wedding.

- I'll be quiet.
- Tiny Morgan, this is none
of your business.

Maybe not, but got
nothin' else to do now.

So, I'll wait...
till you two tie the knot.

What am I going to do?

I'll think of something.What?

Young lovers,
as eternal as the seasons.Good morning, Mr. Burnside.

So this is the young Lochinvar
who swept my little girl
off her feet, hmm?

Ah--Well, aren't you gonna
introduce us, child?

I'm sorry, Mr. Burnside.
This is David Sutton.Congratulations.

Thank you. But I warn you, sir.

Martha's like a daughter, and
if you treat her badly, you're
gonna have to answer to me.

Oh, I guess I could spare her
for another few minutes.

Oh, I almost forgot.
Mrs. Burnside wants to have
you two for supper tonight.

Thank you, but we have
previous plans.

We'll be patient.
But make it soon.

May all your troubles
be little ones.

Martha, why don't you take
an extra half hour for lunch
with your fiancé.

Thank you.

It looks like you're stuck
to have lunch with me.

Well, at least it's better
than a family dinner.

I didn't think you'd want
to sit through that.

I don't want to sit through
anything. I just want to
get back to Medicine Bow.

Alive.

All right, gentlemen, we'll
begin the bidding as always
with a start of $700.

- Who'll start me off with
seven? Do I hear seven?
- Yep.

Seven.
I got a bid of seven.
Make it an eight.

We gonna

Make it a half.

Do I hear a 16 and a half?
Sixteen and a half?

Do I hear a bid?
Going once. Going twice.

Going for the third
and last time.

Sold to Mr. Hamilton
of the Double H.

And a real bargain
there too, sir.

Sure thought
I had that one.

Yeah.

[ Auctioneer ]
This one's a real beauty,
gentlemen.

Registered in the herd book
as Champion Rob-Roy O'Keery,

a title he really deserves too.

So we'll start the bidding
with $700. Do I hear seven?
Make it a seven.

I got a bid of seven.
Now make it an eight?
I got a bid of eight.

Eight's the bid.
Got a bid of eight.Go ahead, bid.

I've never done this.

Lot of things you hadn't done
before you got to Durango.

[ Clears Throat ]
Well, you know our limit.
When you get to that, stop.

- One thousand.
- One thousand.
I've got a bid of thousand.

I got a bid--Six-- Sixteen!

Sixteen. Thank you, sir.
I got a bid of 16, gentlemen.
Sixteen and a half.

Do I hear 16 and a half?
Do I have a bid?

Gee, I hate to do that
to an old friend, but, well,
business is business.

Why'd you make me
bid against him?

He's got it in for me
enough as it is.

I thought you needed
the experience.

I'm getting
enough experience.

Sold to the gentleman
from Wyoming.

I wish you'd let me pay
for my half of the lunch.

And have half
the town talkin'? Mm-mmm.

Have you thought of a way
to get rid of Tiny yet?

I was hoping you had
thought of something.

I've toyed with the idea
of breaking a leg.

Oh, dear. It seemed like
such a good idea at the time.

Breaking a leg?No. Getting engaged.

Dear people,
here you are.

- That isn't mine.
- No, it certainly isn't.

I just took it out
of the showcase.
Real Oriental silk.

Direct from San Francisco.

For the bride.
Compliments of Milady's Modes.

Featuring the finest
of wedding gowns.

Thank you.

Well, one hand washes
the other.
[ Chuckles ]

Oh, speaking of hands,
I don't see an engagement ring.

[ Gasps ]

Oh, we, uh-- We were just
going to shop for one.

Oh, got him trained
already, eh?

[ Laughing ]

"Oh, what a tangled web
we weave, when first
we practice to deceive."

Old Walter Scott knew
what he was talkin' about.

You don't really
have to buy me a ring.

I know, but I have
to look like I'm going to or
Tiny will be on my neck again.

Anyway, it'll be good practice
when I really get engaged.

Oh, remember.

Don't get carried away
and say you
like any of them.

Don't worry.
I'll be very hard to please.Good.

Oh. Hello, Martha.Hello, Mr. Hastings.

Well, I understand
congratulations
are in order.

I assume you're preparing
for the nuptials.

We wanted to look
at some rings.Oh, yes, of course.

And I do have
some lovely rings,

both, uh--
both engagement...

and wedding.

[ Laughs ]
All the latest fashions,
of course.

They're very nice.

But not exactly
what we're looking for.

But you haven't
looked at them yet, sir.

Oh, uh, I was just talking
in general.

Oh, yes. Uh--

Oh, here.
Yes, here's one.

I can make you
a very good price
on this one.

[ Tiny ]
Hello.

- Hello, Tiny.
- I was wondering when you
were gonna buy her a ring.

Go ahead.
Take care of them first.

Oh, no, that's all right.
We haven't found anything
we liked.

Besides, nothing's too good
for Martha.

You don't have to
tell me that.

I have a headache.
We'll have to come back later.

I have others if-- [ Door Closes ]

I may not be
the handsomest man
in the world, but...

does he look like the kind
of man that could sweep a girl
like Martha off her feet?

Well, he-he--

Uh, what can I do
for you, sir?

I want to look
at some wedding presents.

Something a lady can use.

[ Footsteps Approaching ]

♪♪ [ Whistling
"Here Comes The Bride" ]

Having fun?Just practicing.
Best man's practicing.

Well, don't let me stop you.Where you been?

Pretending to shop
for a ring.

Oh, a ring! Well, now,
when you get yourself engaged,
you do it up right, don't you?

You bet. You have to--

when the whole town's
looking over your shoulder.Mm-hmm.

I hate to be a killjoy, but have
you given any thought to how
you're gonna get out of this?

I certainly have.You have?

Especially since Tiny's
decided to stay in town
till after we're married.

Tiny's decided to stay in town
until after you're married?

David, I know Tiny,
and you're-- Well--

We're in a lot of trouble.

[ Knocking ]

[ Man ] Open the door,
in the name of the law.

What have you done now?Nothin'. I haven't
had time to do anything.

Come on in. Howdy.

- That's him. That's him.
That's the man.
- What's this all about?

The man here
says you stole a ring
from his store.

He's crazy. I went to look
at some and told him
I'd come back later.

And when I put the tray away,
one was missing.
Now you search him.

And if you don't find it,
you search this room.

Now just wait a minute.Take it easy, mister.
Just empty out your pockets.

What a town!
You go into a man's store
to buy a ring,

and the next thing
you know you--

Aha! Aha!
That's it! That's my ring!

I don't know how it got here,
unless it rolled off
the counter into my pocket.

That's a likely story.No, he's telling
the truth.

Friend of yours?Give him the ring.
Sure he is.

And he's an honest man.Then you can testify
for him.

I'll need that bit
of evidence to show to
the judge when he gets here.

- Judge?
- Now, Sheriff, no, no.

We're leaving for Medicine Bow
tomorrow, he and I.He's not.

This your gun?Yeah.

Now, you want to
come peaceful?You're making a big mistake.

That's why we have
trials, mister.
Now you come along.

Uh, David?

I'll, uh--

[ Muttering ]

[ Mouths Words ] [ Door Opens ]

Tiny Morgan, if you don't
go away and leave me alone--

- I can't do that,
now that you need me.
- I don't need you.

Once and for all,
I am engaged to be married.

Looks like the wedding's
gonna be postponed...

till your fiancée
gets out of jail.

Jail?

Yeah. For stealing
from the jeweler.

That's impossible.

Honey, he's behind bars.

Than there's been
a terrible mistake.
Dave couldn't steal.

Those things happen, Martha.

But I know him. He--

He just couldn't do
such a thing.

Don't worry, honey.

I just come from the meeting.
You're gonna have the biggest
shower Durango has ever seen.

I'm afraid you'll just
have to cancel it.

- You two have a spat?
- He's in jail.

Well, if that isn't
just like a man.

Do you know what you're saying?

That's the way it happened,
Sheriff.

When I saw my honey with Sutton,
picking out that wedding ring,

I just couldn't stand it.

So I took that ring
and planted it on him.

Guess I wasn't thinking
very straight.

Well, you're gonna have
a lot of time to think
about it now.

[ Scoffs ]
In, you.

All right,
got a new customer.

You can go now.

Or can't you tear
yourself away, Sutton?

Sure, but I don't
understand.

Spare me a minute
with him, Sheriff?
Alone?

All right.
But just a minute.

Now you listen to me,
Sutton.

I know I didn't steal that ring
and you know I didn't.

But I'd do anything in this
world to make Martha happy,
so I confessed.

Confessed? But--I'm warning you.

If you ever give that girl
another unhappy minute,

I'm gonna tear you apart
piece by piece.

You can lock me in now.But you got this all wrong.

Don't argue with me.

Time's up.

All right. Fun is fun,
and I guess I've enjoyed
this game as much as anyone.

But it's not funny anymore.
David is in jail.

I know.And you're standing here?

What can I do?

Now, Miss Martha,
you have a pretty quick mind.

You were smart enough
to get him engaged.But he's in jail.

And you're getting him out.
David and I are strangers
in this town.

But you're not.
They don't have to believe us,
but they will believe you.

Hmm. Never saw a man
eat like that before.

The condemned man ate
a hearty meal.Well, what can I do for you?

Sheriff, he's innocent.
You've got to believe me.

Well, sorry,
but he's already confessed.

Sutton confessed?Oh, no, no, not Sutton.
Tiny Morgan.

I don't think I follow this.Morgan said he planted
the ring on Sutton.

Can I see him?Why not?

- What are you doing here,
Trampas?
- Oh, just browsin'.

Tiny Morgan, how could
you have done such a thing?

- Guess I was jealous.
- What made you change
your mind?

What difference does it make?
Your friend's free,
isn't he?

Tiny, I feel terrible
about this.

Don't worry about me.
Maybe I'll get out
in time for the wedding.

All right,
everybody out.

So long, Tiny.

[ Inaudible ]

Yo!

Whoa. Whoa.

I've been looking for you.
Did you hear what happened?

Trampas told me.
I just came from the jail.

Good night, Mr. Lake.Good night. Good night.

I never thought Tiny could
ever do a thing like that.

Well, he meant well,
but he's got it all wrong.What do you mean, he meant well?

Stealing a ring and making it
look like you did it.He didn't steal it.

He thinks I did.
He said that just
so they'd let me go.

What are you talking about?
He just told me--Excuse me, miss.

I'd like to see the head man.He's in his office.
But it's closing time.

I'll just be a minute.
Thank you.

I don't know what Morgan
told you. I only know
what he told me.

I've got to make some entries,
but as soon as I finish here,

we'll go back and find out
what this is all about.

[ Door Opens ]

- Mr. Burnside?
- Yes.

- I want to talk to you.
- Well, it's after hours.

I know.
Just do what I say
and you won't be hurt.

[ Hammer Cocks ]Just what is it
you want me to do?

First, get those people
out of here. Then you'll open
the safe for me.

- And if I refuse?
- That's kind
of a stupid question...

for a man who's smart enough
to run a bank.

Not so stupid.
If you shoot me,
the whole town will hear.

But you'll be dead.

Let's go.

[ Body Thuds ]

[ Knocking ] [ Martha ]
Mr. Burnside.

It's after closing time.
I've got the cash box ready.

Just stand there
and be quiet.

Tell that man over there
to go. The bank's closed.

He's not a customer.
He's waiting for me.

Turn around and
walk over to him. Slow.

I'll be right behind you.

I've got a gun
stuck right in her back.
So don't do anything foolish.

Go over and lock the door.

[ Door Locks ]

Now drop your gun belt.

Now I want the combination
to the safe.

I don't know it.

Only Mr. Burnside
knows it.

No, I didn't kill him.
But I had to knock him out.

I guess
we'll have to wait
till he comes to.

This isn't gonna work, you know.
We've got friends
expecting us in town.

And when we don't show up,
they're gonna come
looking for us.

How much is in there?

About $2,000.

Well, I guess
that'll have to do.

Come along.

Where you taking her?

You don't think I'm gonna
leave youhere, do you?
Move.

Come on.

All right. Straight out of town.
And make it look good.
I'll be right behind you.

[ Whistles ]

She's not home yet.
Maybe she's with her fiancé.

I can't find him either.

Well, maybe-- maybe
she's still at the bank.

This late?Maybe she got behind.

[ Laughs ] I'm afraid
she doesn't have her mind
much on business these days,

not since she got engaged.

Well, I'll take a look.

[ Inaudible ]

[ Groans ]Mr. Burnside,
you all right? Huh?

Here, put this
on your head.

[ Water Pouring ]

Here. Right there.

Well, I just saw them
goin' down the street
a few minutes ago.

Was anybody with them?I don't know.

The back end of the wagon
was covered up with a tarp.

I thought they looked
kind of funny, but--

You would too if you had
a gun in your back.How many of them were there?

I only saw one.
There may have been others, but
only one came into my office.

They can't have a very
big head start if they're
traveling in a wagon.

I'll round up a posse. [ Tiny ]
Sheriff!

Sheriff,
I want to go along!

Whoa.

Get down.

- Who are they?
- They were in the bank.
I had to bring 'em along.

We'll tie 'em up
and leave 'em here.

How much did you get?I didn't count it.

- This is all there was
in the safe?
- I didn't get in the safe.

Inside.

What do you mean,
you didn't get into the safe?

I'll tell you about that
after we take care of them.

Better be good.

By the time you and
your friend get loose,
we'll be long gone.

I don't suppose
you'd believe us if
we gave you our word...

we'd wait here until
you had a good head start.

That's right, mister.
We wouldn't.

We've already made one mistake--
letting him try his fancy way
of robbing a bank.

No shooting, no dynamite.
All nice and quiet.

Only thing is,
we end up with you two
instead of money.

Real smart.

Smart enough to be able to
go into town without having
my face on a wanted poster.

[ Horse Whinnies ] [ Galloping Hooves ]

[ Horse Snorts ]

[ Sheriff ]
Spread out.

All right, you inside there,
come on out
with your hands up!

You can't get away.
Come on out, we won't shoot.

I've got a better idea.
You men drop your guns.

All we want is a chance
to get away.

Then you can have her
and the man back
all in one piece.

Make up your minds, quick!

All right,
do as he says.

Now get up close together
where I can watch you.

[ Man ]
Hyah![ Horses Whinnying ]

[ Gunshots Continue ] Hyah! Hyah!

Watch 'em.

Get the money.
We're taking off.

You and your friends
are gonna have
a nice long walk.

Hurry it up, huh?

Go finish the saddlin'.

Did they hurt you?No.

Are you sure?Yes.

Well, how 'bout me?

Let's go.

Hurry up in there!

Watch 'em.

What the devil--

Tiny, you're hurt!Just tore the skin
a little.

Get a doctor! He's hurt!

Oh. Looks like
a flesh wound.

If anything happens to him,
I'll never forgive myself.

Unless he's got another
hole in him someplace--No, there was only one shot.

All right, let's get 'em
down to jail.

Oh, darling.

You're gonna be
all right, Tiny.

I know it.

I just can't stand
the sight of blood.

Always makes me faint.

What did you call me?

I don't remember.

Guess I must have
still been unconscious.

I thought you said
"darling."

[ Together ]
She did.

I heard her.He heard her.

[ Clears Throat ]
That's a funny way for
a girl to talk to a man...

who's already engaged
to somebody else.

I'm not engaged.You're not?

No. No.
I only said that--

What she means is,
she's not engaged
to him anymore,

'cause she called you "darling,"
which means she's really
in love with you.

Is that true?

Well--

Of course it is.

Sorry, old man,
but that's the way it is.

Fine. You know,
I mean, if that's
the way she feels.

You made me the happiest man
in the world.

Well, Tiny, looks like
your bandage slipped.

Forget it.
Nothing could bother me
at a time like this.

[ Whistle Blowing ]

[ Bell Clanging ]

[ Inaudible ]

I beg your pardon,
but I wonder if you
could do me a favor?

Why, certainly, ma'am.[ Clears Throat ]

You don't want to go
through that again.

Sorry. I'd like to,
but, well,
I'm afraid that--

Besides, it's my turn.
Now you just tell me
all about it, miss.

It is miss, isn't it?
[ Laughs ]
