Jack Regan here is gonna count to ten.

If you ain't on your horse ridin' out of this town

when he finishes countin', we're gonna shoot you down.

Are you sure he can count all the way to ten, colonel?

Jack, show him.

[Bret] Colonel.

I kind of hate to say this, but I guess I'm with him.

It's your funeral.

Go ahead, Jack. Count.

One, two

three, four, five.

"Maverick."

Starring James Garner and Jack Kelly.

Produced by Warner Brothers.

From the entertainment capital of the world.

Produced for television by Warner Brothers.

Bernie.

Thank you.

You, uh, you boys come far?

We had quite a ride. Came through the Brasada.

Oh. See any Indians?

We got ambushed by half a dozen of 'em.

My sidekick got killed.

So did the six Indians, courtesy of Mr. Williams.

- You stayin' long in Bent City? - That depends on how things go.

What kind of things? You're not homesteaders, are ya?

You ask a lot of questions, don't you?

Mister, don't get smart with me.

I'm asking questions because I wanna know.

I'm not just making conversation.

He's a lawman, Waco. Maybe he's just doin' his job.

I'll ask you again.

- You plannin' on homesteadin'? - If we are?

Then none of the facilities at this establishment

are open to you.

Nor is anything else in this town.

You don't say.

Uh, don't worry about it. We're not homesteading.

Mr. Williams is gonna meet a man here

and I'll be movin' on soon as I rest up.

Well, that's just fine. You've answered my question.

You see, we've had a lot of problems here in Bent City.

Sort of makes this a, a nervous town.

Well, we oughta get along fine.

I'm kind of a nervous man.

Dusty, too. Do you mind?

Nice little town, Waco.

I think I'm gonna like it here.

I thought you were headed for Denver.

Oh, I was. And I am.

- But I'm in no hurry. - Oh.

Well, they play an awful careless brand of poker here.

I'd never forgive myself if I just up and left

without tryin' to educate 'em. For a price, of course.

Well, I'm glad you're staying.

- Are you goin' out? - Oh.

I thought I'd look the town over and get a little fresh air.

Now remember, you're not a homesteader

and you're not a cattleman.

That way you stay out of trouble.

[Bret] Dear Bart.

I'll be a little late getting to Denver.

Met a man named Waco Williams.

And I have to stick close to him for a few days

to net a quick $2500.

Tell you all about it when I see you. Bret.

A flush. And you drew two cards.

Had a straight flush to draw to.

Figure I had to make one of 'em.

I'd rather have your luck than a license to steal.

Well, you cleaned me, Karl.

I only hope the missus doesn't ask too many questions.

Here. Buy her a box of candy.

You wouldn't wanna walk away from here broke.

- I couldn't take that. - Go ahead.

You might wanna play poker some other night.

Thank you, Karl.

Is this an open game?

Sit right down.

If that's your whole roll, mister, uh

maybe you oughta try checkers.

Well, you know what they say about a little acre.

Open for 20.

- Cards. - I'll play these.

I'll take three.

Dealer takes one.

Fifty.

- Call. - Into a pat hand?

You must've hit pretty hard.

Didn't help at all.

I've still got the same kings up I went in with.

How about you?

Tens up.

Let's see those kings.

You're a hard man to bluff, Maverick.

Uh, let's hold it up a minute, shall we?

I'm not a suspicious man, but there have been times

when you played like you knew

just what cards were out against you.

- Sort of sets a man thinking. - About what, Mr. Regan?

A tinhorn who came here a year or so ago.

He was a mighty hard man to bluff, too.

- You remember, Karl? - Mm.

Dressed about like you.

Same kind of coat, as I remember it.

Only, uh, he had a cute little spring-clip arrangement

fastened on his forearm.

You wouldn't have one of those, would you?

Well, to be honest with you, Mr. Regan

playing with you, I wouldn't need a hold-out clip.

Well, I'd like to make sure that

all I have to beat is your good luck.

So, uh, why don't you take off the coat and give us a look?

- Huh? - That's not a bad idea.

No offence, Maverick, but we don't know you.

You have to admit, you've had a pretty slick string of luck.

Luck hasn't had anything to do with it, Mr. Bent.

And I like my coat on.

In other words, uh, you won't take it off. Is that it?

I'm sure you have nothing to hide.

Take it off. It'll make Mr. Regan feel better.

It'll make me feel better, too.

But it'll make me feel real bad.

Karl, I-I think

maybe he's got something under that coat

he just doesn't want us to see.

It does seem like it, doesn't it?

I don't see how we can let you

take those winnings with you, Mr. Maverick.

Doesn't look like you earned 'em honestly.

Well, in that case, I'll take my coat off

if you gentlemen will do the same.

You just don't get the idea.

Take off the coat.

You better take it off, Maverick.

Jack takes his poker very seriously.

Put the gun away. There's nothin' under his coat.

- You stay out of this. - Heh.

Forget it, Waco. It isn't important.

Well, that gun makes it important.

Now wait. Here, look.

Nothin' up my sleeve, see? No hold-out clips.

Everybody happy?

Well, what do you want?

- I'm waiting. - What for?

For you to take your coats off.

Waco.

I think you'd best get back to the bar before I get mad.

- Take 'em off. - Look, Waco.

Your coffee is getting cold over there.

You know, you're gonna get the trouble you're asking for.

I am being as reasonable as they are.

You took your coat off, and they...

I don't like people who wave guns around

when there's no need for it.

You keep it until he's old enough to handle it.

I don't think they'll give you anymore trouble now.

Thanks. You've been a big help.

Hold it right there.

Now just who are you anyhow?

I asked a question.

You better have the right answer, mister.

Somebody go get Bernie or the sheriff.

Get over there with him.

And both of you, unbuckle your gun belts.

Carefully.

Who hired you two?

No one.

We'll be gone in a day or two.

What are you here for?

You know, he didn't even give me a word.

He just hauled off and hit me.

You're not plannin' on doin' that again, are you?

Don't get careless, slicker.

You hit me when I wasn't lookin'. That makes us even.

But I'm not finished with you.

Did you want me, Karl?

You talk to these two when they came in?

Yeah, but I wasn't too sure of 'em.

I am. Some of the hotheads brought 'em in.

Lock 'em up until you find out who they are and why they're

here. And keep 'em locked up until you get the answer.

What are you charging them with?

Disturbing the peace.

Your chips will be cashed in and the money given you, Maverick.

- Thanks. - Alright. Let's go.

The jail's right across the street.

Give me those gun belts.

Don't go away, Mr. Bent.

Look, don't talk. Just walk, huh? Come on.

Now maybe we can play some poker.

Now back to "Maverick."

[Waco] Do we get a lawyer or someone to put up our bail?

Mister, you ain't gonna get bail or a lawyer.

Feel real sorry about that, but that's the way it's gonna be.

You see, up till a month ago, there was a war going on

around here, and Bent City was right in the middle of it.

Of course, that's all over with now, but I wouldn't say

that things are exactly free and easy.

Oh, I got a man to meet here. I can't be in jail.

Well, I'm sorry about that. But get inside, huh?

Keep a nice, clean jail.

I want you to understand that I have to stay here in town.

- And it can't be in a cell. - Alright, I understand.

- Good. - Now get inside, huh?

Oh, Waco. Now what did you go and do that for?

When I was five years old, big kid made me eat some dirt.

I didn't like it.

And I haven't had another bite of it since.

Give me a hand.

Waco, if you go back over there

I might have to pick you up in a box.

Now why don't we spend a nice, quiet evening in jail?

Tomorrow we'll talk to Bent and the judge

and everything will work itself out.

Not unless we eat dirt. I told you how I feel about that.

Waco.

That's a very short-sighted point of view.

We all have to eat a little dirt sometime. It's good for us.

Do you know why I didn't mind taking off my coat?

Because Karl Bent has got lots of money and I got none.

And he's a bad poker player and I'm a good one.

Now you goin' over there and kill my golden goose?

Oh, I don't reckon it'll come to that.

- Give me three. - Ha-ha...

Try it.

Now stand up, both of you, and unbuckle.

You.

Let's see how hard you can hit without a gun helping you.

- Out. - Now wait a minute.

I said out.

Come on, give it to him, Karl. Come on.

- Come on. - Let him have it.

- Come on! Get up! - Get him!

Come on! Come on, man!

Get up, Karl. Come on, boy. Come on.

- Get up. Get up. - Get up, boy.

- Come on. - Come on.

- Come on, Karl. - Come on, get him.

- Get him, Karl! - Get him...

- Oh, no! - Karl!

- Come on there. - Give it to him.

- Attaboy! - Come on. Come on this...

Come on, come on, come on. Get him.

Oh, Ms. Bent.

Karl is getting an awful beating.

Do you want us to stop it?

- Come on! - No. Let them go.

- Come on. - Come on!

- Oh! - Oh!

- Come on there, boy. - Get up there.

Get him, get him, get him. Get him!

Get him, boy. Come on now. Hit him, hit him.

Punch him now. Take it easy. Get in there. Get him.

- Come on. - Come on.

- Get in there and get him. - Come on.

- Boy. - Oh!

- Come on. - Get him.

- Get in there and go get him. - Get him.

Come on. Come on!

- Oh! - Come on now.

Some of you men get my brother to the doctor.

Oh, you were terrific, Mr. Williams.

Why, that right hand really put him down.

I knew he wouldn't get up after that.

I don't know what started this.

But knowing my brother, I'd say he probably had it coming.

You beat him up, and you did a good job.

Now let me give you a little friendly advice.

Get out of town while you're still alive.

Kind of pretty, ain't she?

[Bert] It's taking a little longer than I expected.

It's because I have to keep

Waco Williams alive to get it.

You won't understand

but that's not easy.

- Mornin', Maverick. Sleep well? - No.

- I didn't sleep well. - Too bad.

You know why I didn't sleep well?

'Cause I kept jumpin' for my gun

every time I heard a board creak.

You worry too much.

Waco, how old are you?

- Twenty six. - It's a miracle.

If you wanna live another 26 years

you better learn some basic principles

from your old Uncle Bret.

Williams, Maverick.

I'm the sheriff here.

- What kept you? - Sit down.

- Have a cup of coffee? - Why not?

I hear you had yourself a busy night last night.

Well, you've got kind of a busy town.

A little hard on my deputy.

I didn't wanna be.

By the looks of it, you're a cattleman.

This is cattle country, has been since men like Colonel Bent

took it from the Indians.

Now why would you be sidin' with the rustlers, hm?

We're not sidin' with anybody, sheriff.

Just tryin' to mind our own business.

- Rustlers? - That's right. Rustlers.

Cutting up the range, fencin' off water

plough in' up the grass.

Sounds more like farmers.

Ninety percent of the crops they raise are stolen beef.

Now the new law gives them a 160 acres free.

But they got the idea the cattle are free, too.

After some ranchers lost a few hundred heads

some homesteaders' barns got burned.

Then some cowhands got bushwhacked.

Then a few months ago we suddenly had a war on our hands.

Well, things have been quiet now for several weeks.

But any little thing can set it off again.

Well, you got yourself a problem, sheriff.

But we're not a part of it.

Oh, yes, you are, hm?

You ride into this town, knock my deputy unconscious

after he's made a legitimate arrest.

Drag Karl Bent out in the middle of the street

and beat him half to death.

Now if you get away with it

that'll set everything off again.

It's still nice and quiet.

They're just waitin' to see what happens.

I'll tell you what that is.

You're both leavin' Bent City and leavin' it fast.

That sounds fair enough, sheriff.

My business will more likely be finished today

and I'll be ridin' on.

I wasn't elected sheriff because of my sweet disposition.

I'm a hired gun. Tait's the name.

- Maybe you heard it. - Think I have.

And you'll be ridin' out now, or gettin' buried later.

Take your choice.

He's just doin' his job, Waco.

I don't think so.

He just said I get out of town or he'll kill me.

Right, sheriff?

Boils down to that.

Well, I'm a reasonable man, Mr. tait.

Naturally if I thought you could kill me, I wouldn't stay.

But I think we oughta make sure.

Let's step outside.

Wait.

Now back to "Maverick."

Ain't we a little old for games?

Oh, this isn't a game, sheriff.

It might be the most serious thing

you've done in a long time.

Now you take the one on the right. Draw anytime.

You knock the coin off the bottle before I do

I'll leave town right now.

Does that allow me to stay, sheriff?

I reckon I figured right, didn't I?

Rustlers hired you.

Nobody hired me for anything.

I'm here on private business.

I won't bother anyone if no one bothers me.

I tried to do you a favor, Williams.

Now you have Colonel Bent to deal with.

He ain't polite like I am.

Waco, I've never seen a man do so many things wrong.

Have you ever been in a Gulf hurricane?

- Nope. - Well...

It's the big pine trees

and the thick oak trees

that get uprooted first.

The palm trees are smart. They give with the wind.

That sounds like pretty good advice, for trees.

They live a long time.

Colonel, that man is the fastest gun I've ever seen.

He made me look like I clean forgot to draw.

Are you tellin' me he refused to get out of town?

- That's right. - You're the sheriff.

You should've shot him.

Like you beat him up last night?

- It's not the same thing. - Now you get out of here, girl.

- This is none of your business. - Why not?

If this Williams can come into town and make a laughing stock

out of my brother and defy my father, shouldn't it be?

I saw him last night, sheriff.

I'm not surprised that he's hard to handle.

Now go on, Kathy. We'll talk about it later.

tait

you were hired to enforce the law around here.

All of a sudden you're not doin' it.

- Why? - I told you why.

I'm not fast enough. And I don't know of anybody who is.

Now if you want him out of the way

he's gonna have to be bushwhacked.

And neither you or me will do a thing like that.

Then I was right, wasn't I? They did hire him.

He's the kind of man I'd hire.

Until last night, the decent people around here

had the battle won.

You think I'm gonna let a gunslinger start it up again?

Last night this man assaulted your deputy and broke jail.

Uh, makes no difference whether he rated arrest

in the first place. He broke the law.

And broke it good in anybody's book.

And if that's not bad enough, he took my son

and made a clown out of him in front

of half the rustlers in this territory.

I know what's gonna happen if he gets away with it.

The range will be finished, they'll be laughing at us

in every side hut from here to the Rockies.

I'm not listening to excuses! This is your job.

You take care of it, or you're through.

Well, you fixed me up real good, didn't you, junior?

When are you gonna learn that a man fights his own battles?

Who's gonna take care of you after your pa is gone, hm?

Your sister?

You gentlemen deal me out.

- Hi. You walkin' again? - Oh, I don't play poker.

So I have to get exercise some other way.

Ah, you got another one of those?

- You takin' up smokin'? - It keeps the mosquitoes away.

There's no mosquitoes around here.

Then I'll save it.

- Howdy, Mr. Perkins. - Hello, Mr. Williams.

I guess nobody's been asking for me.

No, not yet.

But don't worry, I remember what you told me.

I'll be beholden to you.

Blackie?

Blackie?

Did you see who it was?

Yeah, I saw him.

What's going on here?

Who did this?

- You? - I saw it, sheriff.

Somebody with a rifle tried to bushwhack Waco.

- Hit this man instead. - He's right, sheriff.

I was right down the street.

Where were you, Williams?

- Right over there. - What were you doing out there?

- Taking a walk. - Did you see who it was?

Karl Bent.

Oh, you don't expect me to believe that

coming from you?

Bent murdered this man. You gonna bring him in?

On your say-so?

Anybody else see who fired the shot?

If I tried to bring Karl Bent to trial

just because you accused him

this town would blow up all over the territory.

You're accusing a cowman of killing a plough-pusher

on an identification you made in the dark.

Besides, a jury of cattlemen

would never convict him.

Jury of rustlers

they'd hang him for spitting on the sidewalk.

Sheriff's right, Waco.

You can't make it stick no matter how sure you are.

Alright, sheriff.

Karl Bent tried to kill me.

Take a message to him.

Tell him, as long as I am in Bent City

not to show his face in town.

If he does, I'll kick him so hard

he'll spend the rest of his life standing up.

If he doesn't wanna run, I'll kill him.

You tell him that.

Be glad to.

Well, boys, give me a hand with him.

Are you sayin' I ordered that done?

Williams says it was Karl.

What kind of people does he think we are?

You tell me the truth, son. Was it you?

- Of course not. - Where were you tonight, Karl?

None of your business where he was.

If he said it wasn't him, it wasn't.

I don't mind.

I was with Carmen Sanchez. And you can check with her.

Oh, that's real nice.

She'd swear you could walk on the ceiling if you asked her to.

That's enough, tait.

No Bent ever stooped to bushwhackin'.

Well, since I just quit as your sheriff

I guess it's none of my business anyhow.

Besides, that's just part of what I came here for.

I've got a message for Karl from Williams.

He says you're to keep out of Bent City.

If you show your face in town again

he'll kick you out, or kill you.

- He said what? - Just that.

I've taken a lot over him because I didn't wanna see

anymore blood spilled around here.

But if he thinks he can move in to the town I built and named

and then tell my son to stay out of it...

Karl, go get Jack Regan and some of the hands.

- Evening, Mr. Menzies. - Well, hello, Mr. Williams.

I guess nobody's been asking for me yet.

Mm, not as far as I know.

It don't look to me like he is gonna show up

this, uh, friend of yours.

He'll show up.

Looks like somebody's in for it.

[Bent] Williams! Waco Williams!

Come on out of there!

Are you coming out or we come in and get you?

Williams!

You wanna see me?

So you're Waco Williams.

I expected more.

Well, if you're Colonel Bent, I expected less.

Where's your horse?

- Over there. - Alright.

Jack Regan here is gonna count to ten.

If you ain't on your horse and headin' out of town

by the time he finishes countin'...

...we are gonna shoot you down.

Well?

Are you sure he can count all the way to ten, colonel?

Jack, show him.

One, two...

...three...

...four...

...five...

...six, seven...

When he hits ten, you're going to be a dead man, Colonel Bent.

And your son, the one who likes back-shooting.

And then the one doing the counting.

Go ahead, talk big, and we'll bury you big.

Jack, count.

- Four... - You already been there.

[Jack] Seven...

...eight.

[Bret] Colonel.

I kind of hate to say this

but I guess I'm with him.

It's your funeral.

Go ahead, Jack. Count.

Eight...

...nine, ten.

Get a doctor for this man.

Regan's dead. So is young Bent.

I never figured he'd hang.

Doc says it will be touch and go for the old man.

What happened to you?

Why didn't you see the doctor?

He had his hands full.

You're a lucky fool, Waco

taking on that many men single-handed.

What do you mean single-handed? I knew you were back there.

You've been watching over me like a mother hen.

And you claim to be out just for yourself.

It's true, Waco, I only joined your fight

because I figured those horses start rearing at the first shot.

And who can shoot straight from a rearing horse?

Of course, accidents will happen.

Scary, isn't it?

Maverick, I guess you're the only person in the world

who'd be insulted if someone called him a good man.

Not insulted. Embarrassed.

Colonel, every rustler you ran out

of the valley is coming back.

They think you're licked. Williams is the big hero.

They're even talking of running him for sheriff.

Let 'em. He can't win.

He can, if some of the cowboys and storekeepers vote for him.

- And I think a lot of 'em will. - That Williams.

Too bad he picked the wrong side.

Don't worry about the election.

- He won't be around. - What do you know that I don't?

He's gonna get himself into a fight, get killed.

And you're hoping for a miracle.

- A lot better guns than his. - Like whose?

Like Dave Hart.

You sent for a professional killer?

Everything I built in my life is going to you.

But you ain't gonna keep a nickel's worth of it

unless you learn something.

You're born into a battle.

You fight to breathe at the beginning

and you never stop fighting till the end.

You reward your friends and you destroy your enemies.

You stop fighting when you're dead.

And I ain't dead yet.

But this way, hiring a gunslinger

to do your fighting for you.

Well, how else am I supposed to fight?

I never quit in my life. And I won't stop now.

Bret, there's something about you that's got me worried.

Well, that makes us even.

You haven't asked me who it is I'm meeting here.

That's because I already know, Waco.

Your sidekick told me just before he died.

You're meeting Blackie Dolan.

He told you? Why?

Because he thought Dolan belonged behind bars

and so do I.

I just can't figure you helpin' a man like that.

There's even a $2500 reward on him.

Now why would you want to help anyone like Dolan?

Well, he helped me once, but I don't intend

helping him the way he expects.

I figure I can talk him in

to giving himself up before it's too late.

May I come in?

I came up the back way.

No one knows I'm here, and I don't want it known.

Alright, it won't be.

- Will you sit down? - No, thank you.

How is your father?

- He's not well. - I'm sorry.

I hope you don't think I was brought here to start all this.

My father thinks so.

- Well, I wasn't. - I believe you.

That's why I'm here to ask you again to leave town.

My father's bringing in a professional gunman.

- Dave Hart. - Well, thanks.

I know it wasn't easy for you to come here and tell me that.

- When's Hart getting here? - Well, I'm not sure.

But there's a train due in tonight.

Thanks again.

I'll see if anybody's around.

Then I wasted my time coming here.

Oh, no, ma'am. You see, Hart'll force me into a fight.

And thanks to you, I'll know who I'm fighting.

Now back to "Maverick."

I got a gun in your back.

Don't make any quick movements

and you'll live to reach the end

of the platform.

Just relax, friend.

somebody'll find you when you get to Kansas City.

You'll be alright. You might get a little cold, of course.

But I couldn't afford a first-class ticket.

You have a nice trip, Mr. Hart.

Yeah, I know. Don't forget to write.

Uh, whatever he's got, but without the ketchup.

- Good morning, Mr. Williams. - Good morning, Bret.

What's the news of the world?

Have they decided to make Tilden president?

It's a doggone shame, Bret. A real shame.

- Congress decided on Hayes? - Blackie Dolan's been caught.

He's been what?

Freight clerk in the next town found him in a baggage car

headed east, all tied up.

Are you alright?

I don't think so.

What's the matter?

You wouldn't understand.

Goodbye, Waco. It's been real nice.

What do you mean goodbye?

You can't just walk away from me.

Not after all we've been through.

Waco, I can't lie to you.

I don't know why, but I can't.

But I've been sticking with you because of Blackie Dolan.

There was a very attractive reward.

You mean, you were going to turn him in for the reward?

I've got a heart of gold, Waco

but, well, I'm just a teensy bit mercenary.

And that's why you've been mothering me

like a hen with one chick.

You must be pretty disappointed he got caught.

You'll never know.

Goodbye, Waco. Still friends?

I hope we always will be.

Then why don't you pack up and come with me?

- Denver's a very nice-- - Mr. Williams.

That fellow you've been waiting for.

He's out in the street askin' for you.

You sure got some hard-lookin' friends.

- I reckon that'll be Mr. Hart. - Now, Waco.

Waco, just once listen to me.

Your whole philosophy of life is wrong.

Don't go out there. Come out the back with me.

- And we can be-- - Goodbye, Bret.

You wanted to see me?

Are you a bushwhackin' skunk of a liar named Waco Williams?

Nope. But my name is Waco Williams.

Then you are a bushwhackin' skunk and a liar.

I came here to run you out of town.

Are you planning to do it with talk?

The talk's over.

Start runnin' or draw your gun.

But you were hired to draw yours.

Go right ahead.

[Kathy] Mr. Williams.

Dad sent me in to find him and call him off.

He wants to see you. Will you come?

Of course.

Think you beat me, don't you?

- Well, I wasn't trying to. - Uh...

That's what I wanted to know.

Were you hired to come here, or weren't you?

Well, I wasn't. I wasn't looking for a fight.

Yeah, you sure weren't running away from one.

The reason you're here is I wanted to tell you somethin'.

And I wanted my daughter to hear it.

What happened to my son and to me...

...I don't hold it against you.

And I don't want you to.

That's all I had to say to you.

- Well, thank you, Mr. Bent. - Colonel Bent.

I guess that wasn't all I had to say.

You're the first man I ever laid eyes on

I thought was good enough for her.

Well, now get out of here, and let me get some rest.

- Is that a fact? - Well, how about that?

- Ha-ha... - Why, I can't believe it.

Oh, Mr. Maverick, that sidekick of yours is sure a lot of man.

- Ain't he? - Almost too much.

What do you think about him and Kathy Bent?

Well, the houseman just rolled in from the ranch.

He says they're gonna get married.

Well, that's impossible!

Well, he was right there. He oughta know.

On second thought, it isn't impossible.

For Waco nothing is.

He'll be our next sheriff for certain.

Hey, there they are!

- Is it true what we hear? - Come on, let us in on it!

Now he did everything a man shouldn't do.

But he's still alive.

Looks like he'll be elected sheriff.

I know he'll end up with the biggest ranch in the territory.

I'm broke.

Nobody even knows I'm leaving, or cares.

Could I be wrong?

[Bart] In our next, we bring you a story of violent action...

...and romance

There's also intrigue...

...and romance.

There's a bit of comedy, too...

...and romance

And there is also romance.

Colonel Maverick is here, Mrs. Morgan.

He says he would like to invite you

to go horseback riding this afternoon.

Ascertain Colonel Maverick's reason for the invitation.

Because it's a beautiful day.

I don't think you stayed out here for the view.

I think you stayed here because

you're not just another woman in King City.

You're kind of an uncrowned queen, and you like it.

And because you're a man, you don't like it.

Because I'm a man, I don't like anything

that makes you any less a woman.

[Bart] Julie Adams plays the part of Belle Morgan

wealthy, widowed and determined

that her wish be everybody's command.

Three-hundred-thousand dollars on firm contracts.

And there's nothing we can do about it?

You bet there is.

What are you going to do?

I didn't get where I am reading law books.

I've played it rough all my life.

But for those two, I'm gonna enjoy learning some new tricks.

Five thousand shares of stock.

You can buy it for just $5000.

- It's an operating rail-- - I know all about the stock.

Am I missing a move somewhere?

That happens to be voting capital stock

which makes the owners of record

assessable and liable for corporate debts.

Your share of liability comes to about $40,000.

Now when you hear the whistle blast three times, jump!

Alright, pile aboard!

[Bart] I think you'll like this one.

It's called "Brasada Spur."
