[ Birds chirping ]

[ Horse neighing ]

[ Men whooping ]

- Hyah! - Hey-hey!

[ Men whooping ]

- Hyah! - Hyah-hyah!

- Hyah! - Hyah!

[ Galloping ]

[ Neighing ]

[ Men yelling ]

- Hello, Buck. - Roy.

What is it you want?

You just guided the Fullerton party across, didn't you?

Yeah.

You were supposed to go back to Missouri

and bring a party to San Diego?

Yeah.

I heard that fell through.

Yeah.

Ready to take on a job?

Yeah.

Look.

My valley...

rich land.

Those horses are thrashing out the finest wheat on earth.

Wheat, cattle, horses to break.

Men, ranches. The best.

I could see this once.

I told 'em what I'll see.

They called it Whitman's folly.

Well, there it is, no folly.

I've made it real.

They pat you on the back?

[ Chuckles ] Not yet, but I'll tell you when.

And you see, I forgot one thing.

The roots keep it alive for all.

Women.

Good women.

Wives for the men.

With kids, diapers,

and the smell of cookin' comin' out of the chimney.

What's that got to do with me?

Men want wives, and they put up the money to get 'em.

They're as sick of this as I am.

Saloons, gambling. Eh, you know.

Yeah, I know, and I like it.

Okay, Buck.

Well, you and I are going to Chicago.

I'll recruit the women, and you will guide them

across the country.

2,000 of trail, and you know every inch of it.

You've brought wagon trains to Oregon,

Sacramento, Santa Fe.

You're the man to bring the women here to my valley.

There's only two things in this world that scares me

and a good woman's both.

Take a load of good women across hell.

Not me.

You look tired.

Yeah, well, I just wound up in Sadie's mudbath.

How much did Fullerton pay you to guide his party across?

Plenty.

I'll pay you what he did and a 1,000 more.

A deal?

Deal.

Come to think of it, you look like

an old mudbath man yourself.

I've had my share.

BUCK: I bet you have.

How many good women do you figure on bringing?

There are 100 men signed up for wives.

Better recruit a 150 of 'em then.

If we are lucky, we'll only lose one out of three.

[ Men yelling ]

[ Cow mooing ]

Bring me back a redhead, Roy.

A Goldilocks for me.

Me, I don't care what as long as it's woman.

[ All laughing ]

I'm not sure you'd know what to do if you saw a woman.

Just let me try.

That's one thing you never do forget.

Just get 'em here.

Mine don't even have to know how to cook, Roy.

[ All laughing ]

Well, I don't guarantee their looks.

One man's eye for beauty is another man's eyesore.

But you know me.

You know I don't give my word lightly.

One thing I can and will promise,

they'll be good women.

Make sure you'll be good enough for 'em.

Make sure you treat 'em with patience

understanding, honesty.

They'll be your fortune.

Make sure you make it a good fortune.

For yourselves, for them,

and for the children they'll bear you.

God help ya if you don't.

You'll answer to me.

Bye. Take care of my valley.

- Alright, Roy. - Bye-bye.

Hurry back.

- So long, Buck. - Hurry back.

- Good trip. - Bye-bye.

[ Cow mooing ]

Ah, they're good men.

Yeah, let's get one thing straight.

Whether you get your good women or not, I get my money.

That's right, but I'll get the good women.

You really think you'll find a 150 women

who will come across hell to marry a bunch like that?

You saw the look on their faces.

You think these good men will marry those good women

once they get here?

Yes.

They're crazy.

Yeah, crazy enough to carve a home

out of the wilderness.

That kind of crazy I like.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

ROY: I'm sorry, but...

- Why? - Sorry, ma'am.

- But I don't see why we can't? - I'm sorry.

Oh, come on.

Uh, Patience Hawley.

Aye-aye, Captain.

New Bedford, Massachusetts, hm?

That's my home port,

but I figured it was time to scrape my haul and weigh anchor.

Uh, you state your age in your application here,

but, uh, looking at you, I, uh...

Smoke N'Oakum, you couldn't hope for a woman

to stay the right age,

but, uh, I can carry my own tonnage.

And, uh, maybe a little extra to boot.

ROY: Sign right here, please.

Give up, you're wasting your time.

- Why? - Why?

The old goat don't like the way we're dressed, that's why.

See ya on stage.

And remember when you do your high kicks,

stop aiming at the back of my head.

Okay, honey. I'll aim a little lower.

ROY: Ms. Rose Meyers.

By your application, Ms. Meyers, you're a school teacher.

Yes, sir.

Good. I'll need help with our records.

Someone to keep a journal of our trip.

Sign right here, please.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Mrs. Antonio Moroni?

Si.

Where's your husband?

Prego!

Your husband?

Your, your man. You know, man.

[ Speaking Italian ]

Uh, I don't understand.

Morto...

Oh! Sorry.

You're sure you want to go to California?

California? Si, si.

[ Speaking Italian ]

Si.

They look good to me.

Alright, you...

sign.

Mm?

Antonio...

Moroni.

- ROY: Aye. - Esto es Poli Moroni.

Poli, Toni, mi mama.

ROY: Aye, fine.

Well, that does it.

How many all told?

138.

Well, that's just about --

WOMAN: [ French accent ] Mr. Whitman, please.

I'm Mademoiselle Fifi Danon,

and this is Miss Smith.

Miss Laurie Smith.

ROY: I see.

I'm sorry we're a little late, but it was very necessary.

Very.

Why do you want to go to California?

Well, I come from a very famous, very old French family.

You see, my grandfather came over,

and he settled down in New Orleans.

But my grandfather, he could not settle down.

He had it in his blood, you see.

So, he helped to discover the Mississippi

and the Missouri and the Great Lakes

and even some of the little lakes.

Miss Danon, why do you want to go to California?

We want a change.

Of what?

Of scenery.

Would it be a permanent change?

Oui, monsieur.

Yes, Mr. Whitman.

Permanent.

Sign here.

Thank you, ladies.

Merci. Merci bien.

Thank you, Mr. Whitman.

They'll do.

They'll be alright.

It's your train.

You better get ready.

You're gonna talk to our ladies.

We got plenty to tell 'em.

[ Clears throat ]

Ladies.

Ladies, we journey

from here to St. Louis by boat

and by boat from St. Louis to Independence.

There are wagon trains all ready for us.

Purchased, completely outfitted.

It's waiting to take you the 2,000 miles

to my California valley.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Now, you face a heartbreaking journey.

And to tell you about it,

I'll call now on Mr. Wyatt, our guy.

Mr. Wyatt?

[ Clears throat ]

We jump off from Independence.

We cross the big Blue River, the Little Blue,

the Platte, the Sweetwater,

South Pass over the Rockies,

down to the big Salt Lake, then the desert.

It's a long, hard grind with no let-up.

Rain, hail as big as eggs,

breakdowns, prairie fires, sandstorms,

dust storms, alkali water,

no water.

Cholera, Indians, drowning, stampedes,

stupid accidents.

You'll pass graves everywhere.

Milestones along the way.

One out of every three of you will be dead

before you get to his California valley.

So if you're smart, you'll leave by that door.

It's my best advice, follow it. Now.

[ Sighs ]

Alright. You asked for it, you'll get it.

Can any of ya handle a horse?

I don't mean just ride, I mean handle.

Can any of ya handle a team of mules?

A team of four mean, iron-mouthed mules?

Your names, please.

Ina Brit.

Martha Jones.

Jean Johnson.

Margaret O'Malley.

Thanks.

Can any of ya handle a gun?

I mean shoot it and hit what you're shooting at.

[ Sighs ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ]

Huh. Is that what you meant?

[ Women laughing ]

That's what I meant.

By the way, I wouldn't wear those frilly fluffy

feminine things you've got on now.

Or those high heels. You've got a long ways to walk.

Sometimes you'll ride. But most of the time, you'll walk.

We're not gonna overload our wagons.

The mules will have enough to haul.

Get yourselves clothes that are rough, tough, and comfortable.

Wouldn't hurt you to wear pants.

[ Women laughing ]

I mean pants.

I've hired on 15 men at Independence, good men.

They've all got their work cut out for them.

You four, uh...

Jones, Brent,

Johnson, and O'Malley,

you'll have to teach these good women

how to drive mules, how to...

uh...

Oh, and just one more thing. Get this.

Stay away from my men.

[ Clears throat ] I, uh...

I thought you might like to know

what your husbands will look like.

So I had these pictures taken of 'em.

So, uh, ladies, choose your partners.

Smoke N'Oakum. What are you waiting for?

There they are.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

A face like a mackerel.

Which one do you like?

Which one...

Hey, cherie, pick from the pictures on the wall.

We're starting in good time.

There'll be plenty of feed for the stock

and not too many ahead of us yet to crop it thin.

We got good equipment, the best I ever took across.

You can say that again.

[ Laughing ]

You've all made it before.

You're good. That's why I've picked you.

I know you, and you know me.

When you sign on, what I say goes. You understand?

The first thing I say is stay away from the women.

You understand, Ken?

Oh, gee, Buck, you know me.

Yeah, I know you. That's what I mean.

[ Laughing ]

Ken, move aside there.

What are you doing here?

I go to California.

BUCK: What's your name?

Ito Yoshisuke Takeyoshi Gennesuke Kentaro.

What was that?

Ito Yoshisuke Takeyoshi Gennesuke Kentaro.

Stand up, Ito.

Are you standing or sitting?

[ Laughing ]

I stand.

Where's the rest of you?

[ Laughing ]

Not much of me.

But I fight anybody here.

I fight you, too, big boss.

I get licked, but I fight.

Can you cook?

Oh, anybody, first job.

[ Laughing ]

First job.

Just keep the coffee hot and handy. I hate women's cooking.

You've all got your own horses.

You got a long trip ahead of you.

[ Speaking Japanese ]

What did you say?

I say. "Enough talk. Let's go."

[ Laughing ]

You heard the man. Let's go.

150 women. This is gonna be great.

- Hey, Bart? - Yeah?

- You ain't going. - What do you mean?

You ain't going. I meant what I said.

- Stay away from the women. - Now, Buck --

Don't do that.

You ain't going.

[ Whipping ]

Raise it over your head and then straight out.

Just like you were chopping wood.

[ Wind whistling ]

Now buckle your hames.

- What's this strap for? - That's your belly band.

Now buckle it.

[ Wind whistling ]

Now, you buckle your tail proper.

Now we're ready to hook 'em up.

Steady 'em. Steady 'em down.

Easy. Not too fast now.

Steady 'em. Steady 'em down.

Easy now.

Easy.

Easy.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

[ Horse neighs ]

Oh, I'm fouled.

The port mules on the starboard side,

and the starboard mules on the portside.

[ Neighs ]

Alright, try it again. You'll learn.

Smoke N'Oakum, I know I'll learn, but will they learn?

Alright, my bullies.

Heave.

Heave lively!

Heave!

[ Bell dinging ]

BUCK: Alright, Ms. Meyers, sign 'em on.

When you men are through,

I want you to get this train stretched out for the morning.

We get an early start.

Sign right here, please.

[ Horse snorts ]

Don't you know how to write your name?

Would you, uh, care to teach me?

Next, please.

Ready?

Take 'em to my valley.

All set?

- All set! - All set!

- All set! - All set!

- All set! - All set!

- All set! - All set!

All set!

[ Speaking Italian ]

Better run for your lives.

You don't think they've learned how to drive?

I think they have.

Let's find out.

Stretch out!

Mule, hey!

Mule, hey! Get 'em, mules!

- Hi-yah! Get in there, mules! - Get on it. Ha!

- Hi-yah! - Hi-yah!

[ Clamoring ]

Get in there! Take a horse.

Come on! Pull it!

Mules. Ho!

- Ah-hah! - Mules, ho!

- Hi-yah! - Push to the left.

- Let's get out of there! - Hi-yah. Come on.

- Perfect start. - Hi-yah! Come on!

Want me to pat you on the back now?

No, not yet. I'll tell you when.

You see, you overlooked one thing.

What was that?

The will of a woman

when there's a wedding ring in sight.

[ Speaking Japanese ]

What'd you say?

I say, ha-ha.

[ Mules braying ]

[ Bell dings ]

That landlubber's been riding off our quarter

for the last three days.

You know who he is?

I think his name is Sid.

Sidney Cutler.

On this voyage, there's to be no he-ing and she-ing.

He's taken an interest in you, or haven't you noticed?

You've been married, haven't you, Patience?

Aye. Have you?

No.

Never.

My man's dead.

Him and my three boys with him.

They all went down together off Cape Horn.

Took the biggest storm in half a century to sink my man.

I'm sorry.

Oh, that's alright.

Mind your course there.

[ Gunshot ]

[ Speaking Italian ]

[ Singing in Italian ]

[ Woman yells ]

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Stop it!

Here, try some of these. It's very good.

[ Speaking Italian ]

- Please. Let me help you. - No.

Way out here in the middle of nowhere.

Why do they all try so hard to keep looking their best?

- You don't know women. - Me?

You're young yet, my boy.

Wait till you've had as many mudbaths as I have.

You'll learn.

Ha-ha.

Ah-ha.

Hey, I got a job for you.

Roust around and see if you can find the grave

of a Jim Quackenbush.

Jim Quackenbush?

Yeah, Jim Quackenbush.

Jim Quackenbush. Okay, I roust.

Jim Quackenbush.

Hey, Patience?

Get some of the women, uh, to collect the tops of the clover.

Cook 'em up.

It's what the Indians do, and they don't get the scurvy.

Maggie? Jean!

Weigh anchor on your toes.

We're going to eat clover.

[ Singing in Italian ]

[ Speaking in Italian ]

[ Singing in Italian ]

[ Speaking Italian ]

[ Whining ]

Well?

No Jim Quackenbush.

Just keep on trying.

Tomorrow?

Yeah, tomorrow.

Pardon me.

May I ask big boss why

he look for Jim Quackenbush?

'Cause we've been pals for years.

Inseparable pals.

I couldn't live without him.

Couldn't live without him?

But he's dead.

You got to live without him.

Oh, no, I don't.

Tell me.

Big boss alright in the head?

Big boss alright in the head.

[ Speaking Japanese ]

What'd you say?

I say my night prayer.

[ Speaking Japanese ]

[ Indistinct chatter ]

- MAN: You know you want to. - WOMAN: But I don't.

MAN: Then, why not?

[ Gunshot ]

[ Horse neighing ]

Get on your horse and get out.

Take it easy, Buck. It's a long way back.

No one can go it alone.

You can try.

You're making a mistake.

You're right. I should kill him.

We need every man we've got.

BUCK: This kind of fun will rip a train wide open.

I've seen it happen.

On most trains, the law against bundling is 30 lashes.

On my train, it's a bullet.

So, use your heads.

Stop your pleasuring and stay alive.

Now, get going.

[ Horse neighs ]

I'm being paid a lot of extra money to get this train through.

I'm getting it through.

Alright, settle down, everybody.

Got to get up with the birdies.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

I hope no man comes sailing around me.

Thought you'd be in on this, Danon.

Me?

You.

Uh, no.

Don't you ever shave?

You always look so dirty.

Hey, cherie.

Don't you go getting ideas.

It is not me who get the ideas.

It is ideas who gets me.

Well, how about that.

And all that big talk of yours.

[ Imitating French accent ] "Come on, Laurie,

we go to California.

"It is a new country and a new start.

Come on, Laurie, we go to be a different kind of flower."

[ Normal accent ] Yeah.

That is what I said. That is what I mean.

But the ideas...

they still get me.

Here we go again.

[ Horse neighs ]

Come on.

Come on. Oh.

You sick?

Smoke N'Oakum.

What is it?

[ Sobbing ]

Does anybody know about it?

Back home, they all know.

That's why I'm going out west, Patience.

I've done wrong.

I've suffered for it.

I don't want my baby to.

Home, it'd have no chance at all.

But out there...

it'll have everything.

Even a father.

Don't you worry, Rose.

He won't run aground.

[ Gun firing ]

Injuns! Form a circle!

Giddy-up, mule! Giddy-up. Giddy-up.

Giddy-up, mule! Giddy-up, mule!

Giddy-up!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Men ululating ]

Hyah!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Men, I need some teams!

Take your firing positions.

You women, get the junk out of your wagons!

Pile it up, get behind it.

Work fast!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

I don't know how to shoot.

Hold it for me!

[ Gun cocking ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Speaking native language ]

The chief said their arrows are not strong against our bullets.

Think we're alright for a while.

[ Speaking native language ]

Says it'll be another time. It will be.

Ah!

[ Speaking Japanese ]

What did you say?

I say I wore out. Let's take day off.

You heard the man.

Wake up and listen!

For the women only!

The rest of the day, a holiday!

[ All cheering ]

[ Music playing ]

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Don't shoot, don't shoot. It's me!

Oh, Danon.

Why can't you call me Ms. Danon like you call all the others?

Is that what you came up here to see me about?

If I'm still Danon, and we get to California,

California won't be any different for me than Chicago.

Don't worry, Danon.

Not all the men in California want to get married.

You for instance?

Me for instance.

I've heard about your mudbath.

That's a good perfume you use.

The best.

Does it bother you, Buck?

Get yourself back to the train.

Rule holds for everyone. That goes for you and me, too.

I told Roy Whitman back in California --

Oh, now you tell me the story of your life.

Let me tell you mine.

It's much more interesting.

I know yours.

[ Applause ]

May I have the pleasure?

You may not.

Am I any different then all the rest?

Not a bit.

And remember, stay away from the women.

- It's a sting bat. - Sting bat?

[ Clamoring ]

...off the end of that stick.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Hey, Patience, did you see the sting bat?

PATIENCE: What's a sting bat?

Go look at him.

PATIENCE: Sting bat.

Patience, have you ever seen a sting bat?

[ Clamoring ]

[ All laughing ]

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Have you seen Laurie? Have you seen Laurie?

Have you ever seen a sting bat?

Have you seen Laurie?

- No. - No.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Mosquito.

No grave, no Jim Quackenbush.

Keep looking.

[ Speaking Japanese ]

What did you say?

I say, what kind of a place did he pick?

He didn't pick any place. I picked it for him.

That's right. I forgot. He's dead.

FIFI: Ghost!

Ghost!

She's not dead.

Nothing's happened to her that didn't happen to her before.

All I did was rough her up a little.

I told her not to make a fuss, she wouldn't listen.

You remember what I told you I was gonna do.

You're gonna give me a chance to draw, aren't you?

[ Gunshots ]

[ Gunshot ]

Thanks, Maggie.

One man gone and two dead.

It's gonna be tough getting to your valley, Roy.

Make up your mind, Sid.

We sign on for California, but it's just not enough of us

to take a train through, and you know it.

This man's gone loco, killing men.

Why, he'd kill any one of us.

Stick with him, and he'll kill you.

Make up your mind quick.

Come with me, Rose. We'll make it back alright.

- Don't ya love me? - Oh, I do.

Well, then come with me.

I can't.

Why?

- Because I'm -- - Look...

if it's that...

You know?

Yeah. Patience told me.

- And you still want me? - Mmm.

You're all that counts.

Will you come with me, Rose?

No, Sid.

Why not?

Just that, you think it's wrong to leave the others, is that it?

I've done enough wrong for a whole lifetime.

MAN: You coming, Sid?

Suit yourself, and good luck. You'll need it.

Buck? Buck?

The Men are gone. Eight of the women with them.

It's you, me, Sid, and Ito.

BUCK: Well, what are you waiting for? Get the coffee going.

- Well? - We turn back.

We do?

[ Sighs ] We've come nearly half way.

Thank God it's the easy half we'll face going back.

We're not going back.

My job is taking trains through.

You lose a train, nobody ever hires you again.

I've seen it happened to Big Joe Keasling, Sam Dunnage.

It's not gonna happen to me.

I don't care what happens to you.

It's these women I care about. You can't get 'em through it.

It can't be done with women alone.

Then I'll make men out of your women, Roy.

When you breed cattle in that valley of yours,

you kill off the weak ones.

By the time we get to that valley, you'll know the women

who are left are fit stock.

I'll work 'em till their skin and bone and muscle.

Once we get there, you can fatten 'em up.

Wake up and listen!

Wake up!

Wake up!

During the night, the men left.

All but us four.

And with them went eight very wise women.

You get time to think,

you might feel sorry for yourselves.

You might get a little envious of those eight very wise women.

So, ladies, I'm gonna drive you till you're too tired to think!

And the first thing you'll learn is to shoot.

Get out of bed.

Get yourselves fed and prettied up.

And meet me up there.

Bring the rifles out of your wagons.

Now, get going!

Get that dumb cow look off your faces

and get going!

A cup of coffee, Roy?

[ Speaking Japanese ]

What did you say?

I say they're going to hate your guts.

I hope they do.

[ Guns firing ]

You won't be shooting unless you're being shot at.

And if you don't kill them, they'll kill you.

[ Gun fires ]

See there.

Hit 'em.

[ Gun fires ]

Now, hug it close to your body.

[ Guns firing ]

[ Gunshot ]

A bulls eye.

Splice the mainbrace. A bulls eye.

Cock it first.

[ Gun fires ]

Look, always aim a little low, it makes up for the kick.

[ Gun fires ]

Taking you a long time to get the hang of it.

I'm not very bright.

Now, steady.

Steady. Shoot!

[ Gun fires ]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[ Gun fires ]

[ Shouting in Italian ]

[ Speaking Italian ]

[ Gun fires ]

You got to hug it close to your shoulder.

Like throwing a punch.

Got to keep your elbow close to your body,

then when you let it go...

See what I mean?

I see.

But I'm not sure what you meant.

[ Guns firing ]

[ Woman screaming ]

[ Sobbing ]

He -- he just handed her the gun.

The...

[ Sobbing ]

Better get him away from there, Patience.

See what you can do, Roy.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Speaking Italian ]

Alright, come on.

You got a lot ahead of you.

Got a lot to learn. Let's get going.

Let's get going!

She won't leave. I can't make her understand.

She hasn't said a word. Not a word.

Try to get what I'm saying.

You can't stay here.

It won't do you any good or him.

Now, come on, please.

You aren't leaving her?

Sure.

Seen a lot of 'em go crazy on the trail.

They don't last long.

Well, you can't talk to a woman who doesn't understand

what you're talking about.

You didn't get any place with her.

What do you think I can do?

You know what to do.

BUCK: Hey, Patience? Pull out!

[ Bell ringing ]

Just keep talking to her.

Thanks. What do I use for language?

Ito!

Bring the dog over here and tie her up

under Patience's wagon.

Smoke N'Oakum.

Keep talking to ya, he says.

Well, that's like talking to a seal.

What does he want me to do, throw you a fish?

[ Gasps ]

[ Thudding ]

Hiyah! Get up there!

Hiyah!

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Snake rattling ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Gunshot ]

Don't get excited, honey. Just stroll closer to the wagon.

Patience?

Patience, please.

Can't we untie her now?

No.

She might kill herself.

Not your face.

Easy there, now.

Easy.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Hey! Watch out, you nearly stepped on my glasses.

Then don't leave 'em around for me to step on.

Stow your gap.

Both of you, stow it.

[ Speaking Japanese ]

[ Speaking Japanese ]

Poli? Poli.

[ Speaking Japanese ]

Poli.

[ Speaking Japanese ]

Don't tell me you're worried about me.

You know I wouldn't die anywhere but in Whitman's Valley.

Might not even die there.

I may decide to live forever.

BUCK: Danon? Danon!

Danon!

You see what ya started?

It wasn't her fault. It could have happened --

What do you mean it wasn't her fault?

Who fired that gun?

Mules are crazy, but there isn't a one

on the train you couldn't learn from.

[ Speaking French ]

Don't talk to me in that lingo.

I don't know what you are talking about,

and I don't want to.

[ Speaking French ]

- [ Whip cracks ] - Shut up!

Roy was out of his mind

to sign you on, you and your partner.

From now on, Danon, stick close to your wagon.

What'd you say?

I say you wrong, big boss.

You drive too hard.

No man do what these ladies do.

And this lady Danon, she do two, three times more.

Don't you tell me I'm wrong.

Even if I am.

When you wrong, big boss, I tell you.

Even if you am.

[ Speaking French ]

Buck! Hey, Buck? Danon's running away.

You crazy, no-good...

That was for riding that horse to death.

[ Groans ]

And what was that one for?

That was for me.

Did I knock any sense into ya?

Yes. Thank you.

I'll be alright now.

Where'd ya think you were going?

Alright.

You've got a nice, rugged face. Beard and all.

Ha-ha. Cherie.

Is that all?

You want me to tell ya I love ya?

Is it so difficult?

Well, don't you think it's kind of

a little too quick for a man to --

First time anything's been too quick for you. isn't it?

Get your head back where it belongs.

[ Sobbing ]

Oh, good. I've been waiting for you.

BUCK: Roy, I'm sorry. If I hadn't been out --

What difference would it have made?

You think you could chop down a hundred Indians

with your own little hatchet?

One thing I had to tell you.

If -- if you'll pardon me while I die.

Listen to me.

When you said you could get the women through

without the men, I wasn't sure you could.

Now, I know they can make it.

Take 'em.

Take 'em to my valley.

You can pat my back now.

Sorry, Roy.

He says the women can make it.

I don't think they can. Not after this.

He was wrong.

He's right.

Maybe.

Ladies?

Ladies?

Ladies, Mr. Whitman is dead.

The last thing he said was

take the women through to my valley.

I'm sorry I can't do it.

You've fought and you've died,

but there's just too much against you.

Ladies, we start back in the morning.

We don't go in looking like tramps.

You go and get things that make us look like ladies.

Frou-frou, feminine things.

We don't move till you do.

And listen.

If the men come near us before we're ready,

they never go back.

We mean what she says.

And no fooling.

You've had them for yourself for the last four months.

The rest of you can stay, but me, I'm going.

[ Gasping ]

They're none of you are going.

This is the way the women want it,

this is the way it's gonna be.

They won't come into town until they look their best.

You get within 100 yards of them, they'll shoot you.

Right here.

You.

You were one of the first to come west.

And you were in the Donner party.

Yeah, you had it rough, alright.

But none of you came through the hell these women did.

These are women.

Good women. Great women.

Just make sure you're men enough for 'em.

Make sure you treat 'em right.

Because God help you if you don't.

Whitman's gone, but I'm still here.

They must be great.

Now, I know you wouldn't have any

women's under drawers around,

but you might have some cloths and kerchiefs

some Indian blankets.

Spread the word.

Round up anything and everything

that might look good on a lady.

All the way from Independence, I've been staring at two things.

One was this picture and the other was the rump of a mule,

and don't ask me which one was prettier.

[ Men laughing ]

This picture got me across,
