Gunsmoke, starring James Arness as Matt Dillon.

Skeeter, you figure Uncle Argonaut will take us into town next time he goes to

sell those hides.

Not if we don't catch us messing them buffs out there.

to get me a pair of those store-bought boots.

Like he'd give you the hard cash for that.

Well, I'd do him on a show of hunting and skinning. Well, you tell him, not

me. Now, you better get one with the first shot.

Now, what in thunder is that?

been chasing that herd since sun up and you run them off from us well i'm

awfully sorry about those bumps were as good as on oh to skin you alive well i

was just going fishing fishing yeah i heard the bass are biting pretty good up

the pawnee the ponies that away now you start for it and start for it now or i

will skin you and leave you standing naked in your bones well if there's some

way i can make it up to you i'd get you citified ingrid young wealth before I'd

turn these two young'uns loose on you.

Uncle Algonaut, I'd... I'd sure admire to have his boots.

All right, Herc boy. You caught him in the yarn.

Doc, you're not your usual ornery self. What's the matter? You been working too

hard? Oh, yes, I have been working too hard. I've never seen anything.

Everything's gone wrong.

What's the matter?

Well, everything's the matter. I've never seen such an epidemic of broken

bones. I haven't had any sleep in four or five days and nights. You know what

I'm gonna do, Matt? I'll tell you. I'm gonna get a room in the Dodge house

where nobody can find me, and I'm gonna sleep for about four or five days.

Well, that sounds like it'll be a good sleep.

Hi,

Matt. Doc.

I got something to show you that you just ain't gonna believe. Well, I've got

to get this on the afternoon stage. I'll look at it later.

Doc? No, Dad, no, no. I'm too tired. I haven't got time to do anything,

especially something that I don't know.

Where the Sam Hill's at?

It's Bass.

Bass?

Well, yeah, what's left of them. I ate the rest.

Brought these back to show you. Oh, it's not Bass. No, Dad, those are carp or

cat. No, it's not Bass. Well, I caught them myself down the old Pawnee.

On the Pawnee, there's no bass in the Pawnee, Thad. You ought to stay out of

the sun. These might be carved.

All right. Suit yourself.

Wait a minute. Hold it here.

Look at that tail.

By sundry, that could be a bass.

Well, that's what I was trying to tell you. Well, don't tell me anything, Thad,

except how to get there.

Well, it's not too far from here. Really? Except you've got to watch out

for the buffalo hunters. I don't care anything about buffalo hunters. Where'd

you catch those bass, Thad?

Sure you're not too tired. Oh, shut up, Dad. Now, here, honest.

Tell me, where did you get them? Where did you?

Well, you know where the Pawnee band's right up near above there, Fort Leonard?

Whew. Got you in time, didn't I?

Time for what?

Well, to go fishing, of course.

Well, I'd say considering the fact that you haven't been invited, you got here

in plenty of time. Oh, just wait a minute now. It ain't you doing me a

favor. It's me doing you one.

You know, it would certainly be interesting to know how your devious

little mind arrived at a conclusion like that. Well, I'll tell you how. It's on

account of old Argonaut Mooner Can.

Who? That old buffalo hunter Thad is telling you about. Well, I know all

about that. I don't want to... Well, here's something you don't know.

Now, that Mooner Can and his bunch can get pretty raunchy if a fella don't know

how to deal with them. And you know just exactly how to deal with them. I hope

they're junk in your best pocket, I do.

My second cousin, Alfie Harmony Hagen, used to know the Munercans. He

left home ten years ago and took up with that bunch.

And me and Alfie's always been just like that. Just like that, huh?

Well, I ain't never laid an eye on the old coot myself, but...

If I do, I'll know how to deal. Well, I'm not worried about the Munercans,

because I'll tell you, by the time I get there, they'll probably be way miles

away. And then again, they just might not be. And if you've got a Hagen with

you, you're going to be as safe as a tick on a hound dog with a stiff neck.

Oh, come on, Doc. Ever since I saw them fish bones that Thad had, I've just been

a fortune to glom on. You're not fooling me a bit. You're not fooling me a bit.

You've got it all figured out.

You're even figuring on using my fishing tackle, ain't you? Oh, golly, Bill, no.

Doc, I got my own hooks. I can cut me a willow pole when I get up yonder. I got

Mr. Beeswax's saddle thread, and there's plenty of grasshoppers... Beeswax's

saddle thread and grasshoppers? You ought to be shot. What's a crime against

nature? We're talking about...

Gus Hagen say the mainest thing is the catching them, not how it's did.

I'm going to fool you.

Against my better judgment, I'm going to take you fishing. For one reason only.

I'm going to show you how to catch a bass.

But you ain't going to be sorry, Doc. I'll guarantee you that. Here, let me...

Just don't touch anything.

Just leave every... Here.

You want to do something?

Just take that down and put it in my rig, and I'll be down there later. What

are you taking your doctor and bag for? Well, you just might get your foot

caught in a bear trap, and I'd have to amputate your leg, and that might be a

lot of fun.

All right, smart aleck. I just think I won't even go with you at all. You can

just suit yourself about whether you go with me or not, but I'm going to tell

you something.

I'm going bass fishing, and nobody's going to keep me from it. Not you.

or the Munercans, or nobody.

Where is everybody coming from all at once?

Ain't yours got enough room in them cities of your own? One of these is your

friend. You better start talking to him.

Fixing to, Doc.

Say, is there one of you fellas by the name of Mr.

Argonaut Munercan?

Supposing I am.

What about it? Well, my name's Hagen.

Hagen? Yes, sir. Fastest Hagen of the Moon Creek Hagens.

I've been just a-busting to howdy and shake. Are you kin to Alfie Harmony

Hagen? Kin?

Why, we're second cousins on my ain't-fluter side.

Me and Alfie's always been as close.

If I ever set eyes on him again, I'm gonna put a bullet square through his

side-winding head. Wait a minute. I ain't done yet.

What I was fixing to say is me and Alfie ain't never been close.

Well, there's something about him that I just never could stand.

Are you a Hagan?

Don't get insulting with me.

Well, you're a friend of one. Well, I'd say under the circumstances, it were

hardly more than casual acquaintances.

Doc, that ain't true. You and me's always been close.

What do you mean by doc?

Well, he means I'm a doctor.

A book-learning kind?

Book-learning kind.

I've got somebody needs tending to.

Well, I'm not out here to practice medicine, I'll tell you that. I'm going

fishing. I'll never ask you what you come for!

Now, who'd shoot a little nine-year-old gal?

A nine-year-old girl?

She's in there.

Fez, just bring me my bag.

What's the matter with it? Eddie!

Eddie's been doing what she could, but she ain't been much help.

Eddie!

What do you want, Pa?

Eddie, this here's a book-learning doctor.

He's gonna take a look at Piney.

But, Pa, I've been treating her. What do you want to go get a stranger for?

Heads up!

Well, get in there!

You sure, Daddy?

Any more favors you can think of?

Well, Doc, how did I know that they...

Is it kind of sore there?

What are you doing that for, mister?

You don't call him mister, you call him doctor.

You're a doctor, Aunt Addie.

Funny?

You ever see anything like that?

Mm-mm. What is it?

Well, I'm going to put that in my ear like this, and then I'm going to see

what makes you tick.

Just be quiet.

Do I tick?

Sure you do.

All little girls tick. Do you know why they do?

Because they're always wound up.

Do you have a clock?

I sent a clock before Pa took me.

Oh, you did?

What are you reading that for, mister?

Well, I want to see what's cooking inside you.

Is something cooking?

Sure is.

Well, she's been fever in about three, four days now.

Now, I want you to just get a lot of rest and don't think of anything, Piney.

It's kind of hard to do.

Oh, I know it is. I know it.

Well, you can think of some things, but whatever you do, Piney, don't think of a

green cow.

Why? Well, I don't know. When you start thinking about green cows, you just

can't stop.

Say, she's had these pains for about a week.

That's what I said.

Well, what have you been doing for her?

Well, I've been laying chill stones on her belly and plastering her with

midnight polises.

Well, the cold stones on her stomach, that's pretty good, but what is that?

Midnight polises.

What is it?

Book learning, doctors.

It's mashed blackberries fermented in goat's milk and plastered on the part

that's ailing. That's what it is.

I've used midnight polices in more folk than you can count on your fingers and

your toes.

I won't ask you what happened to them.

I sure don't want to stir up no ruckus with you fellas, but I'd sure appreciate

knowing what Cousin Alfie done to get you all so riled up.

He married up with my niece, Melanie May, is what he done.

You don't say so.

That little girl in there, Piney, she's his'n.

You said the fact.

She's all Mooner can know. There ain't a touch of Hagen in her.

Oh, of course not.

You never see the Hagen pretty as her.

Well, my Aunt Tansy's youngest young'un was a lookable little thing.

Shut up.

That no-count low-living cousin of yours deserted Piney's maw before the child

was born.

That's why we call her Piney.

Because her maw just pined away and died.

I sure hate to hear a thing like that.

sick little girl there. She's got a high fever.

She's got a lot of pain, too.

Infection. Can't you do nothing for her?

Yes.

I can operate on her. Cut him, Piney!

He's a crazy man, Paul.

It's the only thing to do.

Well, you ain't gonna cut her.

Hatch up!

Ain't you got nothing in that other bag in there that can fix her up?

Got a thing.

You know how to cut on her?

Then cutting it cures, you'd perk up?

Can't promise you that, but I can promise you something.

If I don't operate on her, she's gonna die.

Pa, don't let him do it.

Cutting on a person like that deliberate just ain't natural.

What do you think's natural?

In two days, I'm gonna give her a good stiff dose of the Seven Sisters.

Well, now, Addie, is that anything like your midnight poultice?

It's the only sure cure for the hanging on colic, and that's all Piney's got.

If you've got a sure cure, why haven't you given it to her?

Cause it don't work settin' on the full moon, that's why.

Well, Piney hasn't got time for us to argue about this. If I don't operate on

her, she's gonna die. Now you gotta make that decision.

It's a mighty powerful judgment for a man to have to make.

Piney's the sweetest thing alive.

It'd be a sorry thing if she was to die.

Well, I'll do the best I can.

So be it.

For Piney's sake and your'n, you better see she don't die.

Well, I don't need any rifles or people staring at me. Now, why don't you get

him out of here?

Don't just stand there gawking. Do what he says.

Better keep in mind what it says.

Anything happens to Pioneer, you're gonna die slow-like.

Maybe you better keep this in mind.

Your threats are not gonna make one bit of difference in the success of this

operation.

Now, I'm gonna need some kind of a table.

Skeeter!

Fetch some planking. We gotta rig up a table for Doc.

All right, Fetch, just hold that ladder and we'll stay.

It's bleeding, Eddie.

I need you.

Eddie?

Why don't you put your hand right here?

Put your hand right there, Eddie.

That's it.

Now this one here.

Now just press real firm there.

How's Piney?

I ain't never going through nothing like that again if there's to hang me. I

asked you how Piney was.

Well, if I ever had what that young'un had, I'd shoot myself.

Answer me, Hagen, or I'll shoot you myself.

All right.

Doc said she'd come through the operation good, but he ain't gonna know

tomorrow or the next day whether she'll make it.

Ain't nothing to do but just wait.

Wait.

Wait, that's what we was doing when a duck come here.

Wait!

You catching a cold?

I ain't catching no cold.

looks mighty palesome.

If you'd been through what she has, you'd be palesome too.

I still say it ain't natural cutting on her.

Well, you done like you knowed how.

You decided to wake up and join us, huh? Mm-hmm.

How do you feel?

Kind of floaty.

In the floaty, huh? Well, that's the medicine, isn't it? Do you hurt any

place? No. I guess the medicine fixed that, too.

Mm-hmm. I think so.

You may hurt a little after a while, but it's not going to be like it was.

Can I get up?

Oh, no. No.

Well, you can't get up, but I'll tell you, you keep going like you are, in a

couple of three weeks, you'll be as frisky as a little rabbit.

Honest?

Honest.

You leaving now?

Yes, for a little while, finey. I'll be back.

You still want me not to think about a green cow?

Oh, that's a good idea. Don't think about a green cow.

Annie's going back to sleep.

Well, how is she? Well, she's gonna be all right, but it'll just take some

time, and when I need some sleep.

Now, could you... I'm sure glad that young one's gonna be fit, Doc.

Well, if I don't get some sleep pretty soon, I'm gonna throw a fit.

I found a good lean-to last night. Come on, I'll show you.

Eddie, is she really gonna perk up?

Doc done fine by her, Pa.

You sure?

I'm sure.

You can tell by looking.

I can tell.

I had some coffee to start off the day.

We're going fishing.

Yeah, but it ain't even civilized not to have coffee.

I've saw poorly-looking folks, but that there's the poorest herd I've ever saw.

Where in thunder do you suppose they came from? Hey, Doc.

Didn't figure you fellas would be up so early.

Who in thunder are those folks?

Well, some's kinfolks and others from skinning camps round about.

Well, I'm going fishing. I'm not here to practice medicine. Now, Piney was an

emergency. Well, they need tending to, Doc. You can see that.

Yes, I can see that. I'm going fishing.

My young'uns have gotten awful pains and crying and all.

I'm afraid he's got what Piney had.

This little billy is probably getting colic.

Have you tried paragoric?

I never heard of it.

Patty!

What's wrong with him?

I took some birdshot out of his leg about a month or so back.

About a month or so?

Take this, Festus, and get out of my sight.

Daddy?

I'll see this baby first, and then him, and then you figure it out. I'll get my

bag.

All right, now.

That's going to be awful sore for a while, but you stay off that leg, you

hear me?

See you in a minute.

Thank you, Doc.

Oh, that's all right. Just keep the baby warm now.

You see that, Annie?

Well, that's fine.

Well, this is fine.

Here.

Throw that on there and then wrap it up.

Remember now, three times a day on that.

Doc? Doc, lookie here.

Well, did you enjoy yourself?

Golly, Bill, Doc, you have never saw fish before. Oh, get him out of my face.

Doc,

how's things going?

Just as far as they're going to go. I'm leaving.

Oh, Doc, that's something that's got to be talked about.

Well, you're going to be talking to yourself.

I reckon it's going to be a spell before you see Dodge again.

What do you mean by that?

Well, we ain't never had a proper doctor. Now that I've got one, I'm

aiming to keep him.

Well, now, you talk as though I haven't got a thing in the world to say about

this. Now, just suppose that I hitch up my buggy and ride out of here. What are

you gonna do, shoot me?

Well, I just told you, we need you.

You try to leave, we're gonna shoot him.

That's a good idea.

a lot of sick folks.

Seems to me that things like that would interest a man like you.

Well, there's sick folks in Dodge. Now, what about them?

Same thing we've done before you come along, I reckon.

Unless they can cut yourself as a doctor of their own.

I am their own doctor.

Now, you listen to me.

They're gonna get curious about where I am, and they're gonna come looking for

me. Yeah, I thought about that.

Well, what did you decide about it?

Well, first off... We move around quite a bit. Well, they'll find me.

Me too.

They sure will.

Skeeter? Yeah?

Did you take care of that little chore I gave you?

Sure did.

Herc? Huh?

You got them things Uncle Agonaut wanted?

Yeah. Right here.

Them there looks like graveyard markers.

What are you going to do with them?

Yeah, not a sad thing, them stampeding buffs stomping you like they done.

They're sure easy.

My foot, what about when the log catches you?

Hello, Sam. Hi, Marcia. Hi, Sam.

Oh, where's Kitty?

Oh, she has some errands to run.

Can I buy anybody a beer?

Oh, that's right, thanks. I just finished my lunch then, but thanks

anyway. Well, it looks like I'll just have to drink alone.

Are you sure that beer is all you really want?

Sam, did Doc say what day he's coming back?

He sure didn't.

I think he said two or three days, although I don't know for sure.

Then he should have been back yesterday.

Well, the fishing's all for good up there.

Well, Doc, you'd sure be lost if Doc ever left for good.

Oh, he's having himself a fine time.

Kind of wish I was up there with him.

Well, you just got back.

Oh, yeah.

But you wouldn't believe the way them fish nap at your hook.

You throw your line out there, and the sooner it hit the water, and bam, you

got yourself hooked.

And he starts a-jumpin' and a-flyin' all over the place.

And you've got a fight on your hands, because he's a smart one.

And if he gets over them rocks over there, you're out of luck. And he starts

wiggling a little bit. And you just try to pull him a little bit out that way.

And a little bit out this way to get him in the middle.

And he's jumping.

Come on! Hey, look out!

about one thing.

Got plenty good vittles in this place, ain't he?

You're beginning to like it here, huh?

Well, the vittles is good.

The folks is friendly.

Good soft pallet to sleep on.

Plenty of time for fishing. Oh, sure.

A lot of time for fishing.

Did you have some good patience today, Doc? Patience? Good heavens.

I never saw so many patients in my life.

I tell you, I feel... I feel about 100 years old.

You don't look like you're over 75 or 80.

Suppose you could keep quiet a little while while I think?

Now, there's just... There's just something that Argonaut hasn't figured

out yet.

What's that?

What's he gonna do for medicine when I run out?

Oh, I was supposed to tell you.

Argonaut said for you to write down everything you need in the way of

medicine, and he'd have the boys pick it up for you when they go into town.

Wasn't that thoughty of him?

You got to get up early to beat these mooner cans.

Wait a minute.

What'd you say?

I said you got to get up early to beat... Wait, that's it.

That's exactly what we'll do. We'll tell old Oregon that we're going fishing and

that I won't see a patient till afternoon tomorrow.

Well, the fish do bite better.

Shh, shh.

We're not going fishing.

We're just going to tell him that now.

Where do they keep the horses?

Where do they keep them, you know that?

In the corral down yonder in them trees.

Depending on how sound they sleep around here, I'm figuring on getting us in the

Dodge or getting us both shot.

Why not? Well, because it's too easy.

We just thought we'd go fishing this morning.

Yeah, I say, we're ever so much obliged to you for protecting this life tonight.

Now, don't you forget, Festus, whoever catches the smallest one's got to clean

every one of them. Well, that's bound to be you, because nothing but them big

ones glom onto my bait.

Well,

you fellas sure do get up early.

Sure hope you slept well.

This fresh air out here makes folks sleep like babies.

Well, it don't do nothing for old Cootie Owl here.

Skeeter? Oh, he gets restless at nights.

Doc, there's some folks that want to see you. I don't want to see anybody.

Ah, you won't feel like that if you had some of Eddie's corn pone. Go fetch it,

Eddie. Fetch some for all of us. Oh, Grandpa told me to tell you that his leg

ain't painted him no more.

Of course not. I took that bird shot out of there.

Well, I thought I had it all out.

I guess I didn't cut deep enough.

Well, the deep ones there are the ones that caused the trouble.

I thought there was going to be some corn pone.

I made some for Pina this morning.

Well, it's got caught in a bear trap.

Now, go on, get in there.

I said get in there. Well, you know that... Gunmaker walk. You just might if

you don't get.

Well, you looky there.

Say it!

The one that'll run off our buffs.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Well, I got worried about you.

Hey, look what I got here, Uncle Argonaut.

Why in thunder did you let him see these here, too?

Oh, I didn't think.

What you doing back up here, boy?

I like to fish.

You don't mean to make another grave marker, Uncle Agernaut?

Ah, we can't bury everybody that comes by here. You bet you can't. And there's

gonna be others coming here, too.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Too bad you ain't kin to us, Doc, like Hagen here. Then you'd feel obligated to

do our doctrine for us.

I ain't no kin to you exceptin' by marrying, that's all.

Yeah, that's kin enough.

You married, Doc?

Of course not.

Here you are.

Eddie, see if you and Daisy Lou can fetch out that marrying dress.

Huh?

Seeing the way Eddie's been favoring you of late, I think it'd be right proper if

you two were to marry up with each other.

Then we'd all be kin, wouldn't we?

Morning, Marshal.

Oh, hello, Sam.

Don't tell me you're in for the party.

As a matter of fact, I am, Sam.

I'm afraid there's something more than fishing keeping them out there.

You really think there's something wrong?

Well, it's not like Doc to stay away this long.

Well, I find myself thinking the same thing.

Well, I'm not waiting around any longer. I'll see you in a few days.

You're glowing like a stoked-up cook stove.

I never thought I'd be getting married.

Chance comes to us all in time.

All you gotta do is hope that when it comes, that it's right and fitting and

that it'll last.

Aunt Addie?

Yeah? I don't like you no more.

Penny! Well, I was figuring on marrying Mr. Doctor when I growed up.

By that time, Doc will really be too old for marrying.

Easy, Lou.

Here.

Do you reckon he's too old for me?

Ain't no man too old to marry up with a woman who'll make him happy.

Now, come on. Come on, now.

Let's just see if this dress has taken in enough, huh?

Skeeter, put the cake on the end of the table there.

Don't you drop it. Scythian's been up all night fixing that cake.

Looks good enough to eat, huh? It's for a wedding, ain't it?

Put the trestle down there. Put the whiskey barrel on that trestle.

Dang it. Dang it.

Doc, just don't you fret. Now, me and old Thad, we'll... We'll think of

something, won't we? Of course we will.

You see, what this thing is, is it's just... Plum crazy is what it is.

Of course it is. In fact, it's ridiculous.

It's impossible.

It can't happen.

It's a fixin' to happen.

I know that. I... Hey, Doc. What?

Well?

There's one thing that's kind of good, Doc.

Addie ain't so ugly so much you just can't stand to look at her.

recollect a cousin of mine that was so ugly that you... Doctor?

Yes?

Has the time came?

Not just yet.

Can I talk to you?

What do you want to talk about?

Please?

Well, get out of here.

Go on, Tad. Get out, both of you.

What do you want to say, Eddie?

Well, I just wanted to say to you... Well, I know I ain't all that

much.

But I can cook and sew.

And I wash more than some.

And... And I'll do for you all I

can.

I'm obliged to be marrying up with you.

I truly mean that.

And I'll make you happy.

Well, leastwise, I'll do my best.

I reckon that's all I want to say to you.

Hattie?

It's all wrong, don't you see that?

Well, I see it some.

Well, then... For you.

For me, marrying up with you is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Addie, I'm older than your father.

Oh, I don't mind that.

Now, listen to me, Addie.

Marriage is not like this at all.

In marriage, you have to have love and understanding and a whole lot of things.

You don't get married just because somebody else wants you to.

It's wrong.

Now...

i want you to go right straight to your father you just tell him it's wrong and

tell him that you're you're just not gonna do it well do no good

pa's made up his mind and once

that's dead it's dead

dearly beloved

We are given here in the sight of the Almighty to hitch this pair in

matrimony. To join in matrimony.

If anybody's got a reason why this shouldn't be set in the groove, let him

say his piece here and that's what I'm going to do here and now.

Now listen to me, all of you. This is the most ridiculous farce I've ever

heard of. It ain't no use.

It ain't no use to read. this thing any further. We all know what we're here for

anyhow. It's this pair and double harness.

I reckon I'll just ask the question.

There won't be any answers.

Eddie, honey, you take this fellow for your lawful wedded husband, don't you?

Don't answer him. Don't answer him.

If you say so, Paul.

Doc, you take this woman. I do not. You heard him say yes. I heard him say yes.

You! I could have left that bird shot in your miserable leg.

Repeat, Riley.

Doc, out there's Matthew. You bet it is.

Who's he? I'll tell you who he is. He's Matt Dillon, the United States Marshal

from Dodge City.

If you give the word, Uncle, I can drop him with one bullet.

The trouble with shooting the law, Herc, boy, is that they just send more law.

And if you shoot them, they send more.

And you just don't get any place that way.

All right, put away your guns.

That looks like fate's against you again, don't it? I wouldn't say so.

Doc, Eddie, I now pronounce you man and wife.

You can't do it. I just done it.

you what's going on. This old... Well, he's kidnapped me. That's what he's

done, and he's held me captive here, pestering me. Now he thinks he's married

me to his daughter. That's right, Marshal, and it's binding.

Just as binding as all the weddings I've done for everybody else here.

Who are you?

Little Orgonaut Mooner can. You heard of me, ain't you?

Oh, yeah.

Yes, I think I have heard of you.

Well, Doc, so, uh, so you married him off, huh?

That's right, Marshal.

Congratulations, Doc.

Of course, you did have a license, didn't you?

License? Marriage license.

You mean a marriage ain't legal without one?

That's right. It's been a law for some time now in this state.

I tried to tell you that.

Well, now, that does shrink the hide off in the rack, don't it?

How's that?

Well, if folks here was to find out about that license business, I'd be in

an awful fix. You bet you would.

You and I have got a little talking to do, Mooner Can.

Sure, Doc.

You've made me good and mad, and it's a good thing for you that I'm not a

vindictive man.

That's mighty pleasuresome to hear, Doc. All right. Now, the first thing is,

these folks have been planning on a party, and I want you to see that they

have one.

That's right.

That's right.

You folks all jump in the vittles and have some fun.

join the wedding party, do you? Why, sure, Marshal.

Your kid's a lot of fish, ain't you?

Well, you ain't complaining about it. No, no, I ain't complaining, Fish. Just

honest, I ain't. Doc, you ain't caught an iron.

You want me to put a worm on your hook? Don't tell me how to fish. Why don't you

and both of you go down there and see how old Matt and Tad are doing. Get out

of here.

Doc, do you see that last vegan I hooked there?

I haven't seen any bass yet.

Well, I ain't got started yet.

If you'd watch me, I could learn you a few things about fishing.

You gonna hide behind that tree all day there?

Paul said you wanted to see me.

I do.

He sure has jettled down like a wore-out mule.

That's good.

I wonder if he's jettled down enough so that he wouldn't mind if you came in to

dodge.

Dodge?

What do you mean?

Well, I think that maybe if you came in to dodge and kind of hung around the

office a little while, I might be able to teach you something about medicine.

Teach me medicine? Now, hold on a minute. Just...

I didn't say I was going to make a doctor out of you or anything like that,

but maybe I could teach you enough so at least you wouldn't go around poisoning

folks.

Doc, do you really think that... Well, I think... Well, Annie, I

think you got a wonderful way about you with sick folks.

I watched you with Piney and then all those other folks, and some of them were

pretty bad. And, Annie...

You've got a wonderful feeling for doctrine.

I ain't never been so happy in all my life. Now, quit. Now, Addie, here. Stop.

Stop this. Now, quit.

Good heavens.

Addie.

Thank you.
