Man: Hurry, let's go. Come on.

You are not leaving.

Why won't you understand

that ihave to go
where my husband goes?

I suppose that if...

Even if he jumped off a cliff,

you would have to follow him?

Yes.

You see, I love him very much.

Love!

And how much good
will your love do you

- in the middle of a wilderness?
- Mother, please don't try...

What kind of a frontier woman

do you think you will make?

You've never had to cook or wash

or keep house in your life.

Your father and I saw to that.

I can learn, mother.

And that husband of yours...

- Mother.
- Yancey cravat.

That isn't even a name.

Itis my name now.

What is a lawyer going
to do on a homestead?

Mother, please!

If only you'd let me
say something.

If yancey says
he can do it, he can.

I warned you
when you married him...

A man you had only
known 3 months...

That you'd live to regret it.

I will never regret it...

Not for one second.

I tell you there's never
been anything like it

in the history of the world.

Imagine, a whole territory
settled in one afternoon.

Whole cities springin' up
in one hour.

Why, I'll bet you
there's thousands of people

on that borderline
right now, right today,

right this moment, just
a-steamin' and a-waitin®

for that opening gun next week.

Now, can you imagine it?

Huh? C-c-can...

Can you just imagine it?

Look...

Here...

Here is the Oklahoma territory,

over 2 million acres
of the finest land

a crow ever flew over.

And here...

See? It's all divided up
into quarter sections.

Like that.

That's, um... now!

Here are the soldiers,

all lined up in a row.

Here they are, all lined up

to see that nobody
gets into that territory

before they're supposed to.

Now, now, here...

Here come the settlers.

Here they come.

Thousands of them.

Thousands of them from all over,

and here... here you are, honey.

Here they come,

and they're just so anxious.

They're just starving
for a piece of that land.

They're just starving for it.

Matter of fact,
they'd fight for it.

They'd even die... die for it.

Well, how about that?

Charlie, hand me a few more

of those settlers, will you?

That's a boy.

And give some to
the children, too, huh?

Oh, sabra.

Oh, my sabra.

Here, have yourself
a settler, huh?

Mr. yancey!

Better not forget
this, Mr. yancey.

You might need it one day.

Good-bye, father.

Good-bye, my dear.

I envy you.

All right.

Now remember what I told you.

Now a little tighter.

Both reins.

That's right.

And I'll follow you.

Yancey: You all ready?

Yes.

Good luck, darling.

Mother.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Sabra: Yancey, it's getting

awfully lonesome back here.

We'll be stopping right
up here ahead, honey.

Sabra:

That's very pretty.

Where did you learn that?

The old country.

What does it mean?

If... if god keeps me alive,

believe you me,

I will take care
of no one but thee.

Oh, darling, how many times
you walked towards me,

I looked at you and wanted you.

How many times you
didn't even look at me,

and I wanted you.

Yes, sir, she sure
looks good from here.

What are you laughing at?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Come on, let's dogtail it, huh?

Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!

Sabra: What do you want?

She wants to know what we want.

What do we want?

Anybody wears anything
as pretty as that...

Oh, ain't that pretty?

Get up.

I ought to shoot your ears off,

scaring my wife like that.

Cim.

Hey, what's the matter with you?

Don't you recognize me...
The kid?

I recognized you.

Aw, cim, how was we
supposed to know

it was your wife?

Somebody else's wife,

then everything'd
been all right?

I'm sorry.

We didn't mean anything.

Well,

I guess there's no harm done.

How are you, boy?

Just great!

Who's this?

Wes!

I'm pudge Johnson's boy.

Remember hoss?

Yeah, don't tell me.
This is what's his name,

um... Barry. Barry.

Ned Barry's boy, yeah.

Say, last time I saw this fella,

you know how big he was?

He was just about so high.

Hey, we heard you got killed

in a gunfight out
in California, remember?

Honey, I used to work
for this boy's daddy

as a ranch hand.

How nice!

Just devilmintin' around, huh?

Kinda ridin' around.

I used to ride
the old bag line myself,

matter of fact,
living off the old, uh,

hospitality of
the south, as it were.

Well...

You had your breakfast yet?

No, we ain't ate yet.

Fine, fine. Honey?

Uh, you'd better lay
a little more food

and cups and saucers
and all that

'cause we're gonna have
some guests for breakfast.

Now, boys, if you'd mind
just turning around

and stepping over there
while the little lady

gets out of the water, huh?

Right over there. That's right.

Now, the first one
of you bindlestiffs

that looks around,
you get the meat end

of this rifle right
between the eyeballs.

All right, you can
get out now, honey.

Get out?

If you stay in there,

you're gonna catch cold.

You want them to stay

and have breakfast with us?

Well, these are my friends.

Oh!

So, uh, we really
got to be goin...

No foolin". We're late now.

Where we goin'?

Listen, ma'am,

uh, I'm awful sorry we, uh...

We discommode you.

I hope you won't hold no, uh...

Uh, you know, grievance
against old cim.

I... l tell you,

I used to follow cimarron
everywhere he went.

He spit on a stump,

I spit on astump.

And all I ever wanted
was just to grow up

and be like him,

and so, uh, if I
done anything at all,

uh, uh, anything to come
between you and him-=-

uh... uh...

All right.

Skimmeroot!

Yay, boys!

Honey, I'm afraid you've
hurt my friends' feelings.

I hurt their feelings?

I'm afraid you did. Come on.

You see, in the west,
you never turn a man away

without a hot meal
in his stomach.

Uh, it just isn't done.

Oh, well, you'll learn.

There we go.

There now.

Come on, now,

you're still
not scared, are you?

No, I'm not scared.

I'm just frozen and cold.

Oh, dear.

And don't you dare
talk to me again

until I tell you you can.

All right, I won't
talk to you anymore,

not until you tell me.

Are you all right now?

No.

What happened?

What's the matter,
you lose your horse?

Never had none.

Where you from?

Missouri.

Are you telling me you, uh...

You walked all the way
from Missouri?

I guess so. I'm here.

Well, uh, suppose you
get in out of the rain

and ride with us?

You wouldn't object
to that, now, would you?

I wouldn't, but...
Maybe you might.

I got my family with me.

We'll make room.

Yancey cravat.

Tom Wyatt.

Hi, Tom. This is
my wife here, sabra.

Sabra, this is Tom Wyatt.

How do you do, Mr. Wyatt?

Nice to meet you.

That's my family.

Now, what was that you said

about, uh, making room?

Well, I said we could.

[ I guess we can. I... I guess.

Wyatt: Come on! We got a ride!

Let's get out of the rain.

Woman: Come on.
Pa got a ride for us.

What is it, pa?

This is my wife, Mrs. Wyatt,

and this is my children
Janet and...

You want to meet my children?

No, no, never mind for now, Tom.

Suppose you take this wagon.

Honey? Honey, listen.

You take my wagon,

and you children, half of you

get in the other wagon

and half of you
get in this wagon.

All right?

Come on, get in.

Go get in this wagon

before this poor man
change his mind.

Come on, now.

Which one is going which way?

It doesn't matter.
Just so we're half and half.

Hold up there, boys.

Man, ain't that something?

Get 'em back to the line.

I guess we made it, Sarah.

I guess we did.

Soldier: Hey, you!

Hey, you can't stop there!

Hey... hey, yancey.

Hiya, ned, how are you, boy?

Fine, fine. Ma'am.

I haven't seen you
since you were selling

Indian ponies to the cavalry.

Not in that business anymore?

Naw, I gave that up.

It's really something, isn't it?

Yeah, just one
big headache to me,

trying to keep all
them too-sooners out of there.

I sure hate to think
about tomorrow.

Look at all of "em.

We haven't got enough
land for one third of "em.

Gonna be an awful lot of
mad and disappointed people,

to say nothing of the dead ones.

You mean all this land,

and there won't be enough?

No, no, honey.
The land around here

ain't fit to raise goats on,

but over there,

right over there, just about,

oh, I'd say
about 10 or 15 miles,

you never seen

such rich farming
and grazing land.

That's the land
we'll have to run for.

Man: Hey, I don't believe it!

I don't believe it!

Hey, ike, where you been?

Where you been?

Hey, you're all dressed up
like a prune picker.

Have you seen Sam pegler?

There's 10,000
people down there,

and he's one of 'em.

Hey, wait till you meet old Sam.

He's really something.

He must be something.

Yancey won't stop
talking about him.

Hey, ike, how about
taking our picture, huh?

Children: Take my picture!

All right. All right.

We'll make
a nice, big group shot.

All right, now watch the birdie.

My bird's kind of stringy.

How's yours, pretty?

Don't blame it on the bird.

Even butter's stringy to you

with those horrible, misfittin',

store-bought teeth.

Hey, there, Mike,
you old frog sticker.

How you doin' there, boy?

Well, I'll be. Yancey.

Have you seen
Sam pegler anywhere?

Not yet, but he'll be here.

Hey, ike, look who's here.

I seen him this afternoon.

How are ya, cim?

I'm fine.

Hi, grat. You didn't
waste any time,

Come and see me.

Yeah, I'll do that.

Candy for the children? Plenty.

There's all kinds candy there.

There's red and green and yellow

and licorice.

There's licorice down below.

Did youget it? Huh?

You look so young, madam.

How long have you been married?

2 weeks.

2 weeks?

Lady, the candy is on the house.

Wait a moment, mister.

No, listen, these are
not our children.

It's all right.

Hey, Tom, that's
pegler's wagon up ahead.

I'll see you there.

Come on, let's go.

Indians got as much
right to be here

- as anybody else!
- Sam pegler,

I want you to stay
out of this fight.

Somebody's got to help him.

Oh, look at those fellers.

Oh, no, that's a terrible thing.

Go get the baby.

Man: Back to the reservation.

Send 'em back
where they come from.

Wait a minute.

This fella's
got as much right here

as you have.

You stay out of this, old man.

Stop it!

All right, break that fight up.

Separate those men.

All right, now.

What's this commotion all about?

This Indian's got
just as much right

to be here as anybody else.

Let me have your papers.

Man: What are you stickin'
your nose init for?

Soldier: Now, this man

has been legally registered,

and according to the law,
he's got as much right

to make this land run
in the morning as you have.

You heard what I said.

Now, go on.
Get back to your wife.

The Indian stays.

Now, go on. Break this up.

Go on. Move along, everybody.

Go on. Move on.

I want to tell you
something, old man.

You try to run that
newspaper of yours up here

the same way
you did down in Texas,

you're gonna get buried here.

And I don't care
who your friends are.

Let's go, millis.

Man, you... you really
are something, Sam.

You just can't keep out
of trouble now, can you?

Well, now, why should I?

Why should you?

Honey, this is Sam pegler.

This is my wife sabra.

Your what? Well, ma'am,
I'm pleased to meet ya.

Mavis, come look who's
hooked himself a wife.

Oh! Oh, you poor girl.

What are you talkin"?
Wait a minute now.

Don't you... just don't
pay no attention to her

because, uh...

This is... this is Jess rickey.

How do you do, Mr. rickey?

You know what he is?

He's one of the best printers
in the business.

When he's sober he is, that is.

Well. You know,
the last time he smiled,

it caused an earthquake.

You done pretty good
in that fight, boy.

How do you mean
he did pretty good?

He almost got himself killed

risking his life for an Indian.

I'm sorry.

Now suppose we, uh,

give this fella a hand here

and get this wagon turned up.

Say, do you mind if we help you?

All right. Why don't
you get on that side?

Uh, Sam pegler.

Yancey cravat.

Sol Levy.

Our wives.

Tom, suppose you
go down to that end.

Tom Wyatt.

Jess rickey.

This is my wife.

All right, let's go.
All together.

Why they call you cimarron?

Oh, it's along story.

'Cause he's mean
and wild and crazy.

That's what the word means.

Oh, now you want
to make her think

she married a wildcat
or something?

She didn't marry
any scat rabbit.

You know what you married?

A lunatic.

He don't know what he wants.

Oh, yes, I do.

Do you now? Do you?

Of course I do.

How many things
you been already?

A gambler, a gunman, a lawyer,

and now you want to be a farmer.

Now, wait a minute now.

I don't want to be a farmer.

I want to be a rancher.
That... that's different.

2 months and you'll
be pulling your hair out

with both hands.

No, no. No, not... not this time.

No, this is the first
time in my life

I've seen a piece
of land, and I said,

"this is what I want."

More than anything,
this is what I want.

And you know how long

I been dreamin' about that land?

You know how long?

Ever since I used to ride herd

through this country.

I used to lean down,

pick up a big handful
of that earth

and smell it. It was so rich.

You know how you do?

It smelled so rich,
you felt like you just...

A man could just throw
out a handful of seeds

and a whole crop
of corn'd sprout up...

Ten feet high.

That's what I want to do.

I want to... grow my own food

and raise my own cattle.

Now, just a minute.

There's only one thing wrong

with that little dream of yours.

Corn just don't
pop up 10 feet tall.

No, it-it's got to have plowin'

and plantin' and
weedin' and waterin',

and... and then along
comes adrought

and ruins you.

And as for that
fictional cattle...

All right. All right.

Say, you really are something,

young fella.

Well, come on, little lady.

We've got a rough day ahead.

I'll get out the bedroll.

Oh, ma'am, I... I don't
want you to think

we meant nothin'
by what we were sayin...

We were just joshing.

Oh, I know.

Oh, there... there is
just one thing, though.

You see, we kinda
raised that lunatic...

He's kind of like a son.

Well, we never had
any children of our own,

and I was just thinking,

you being his wife and all,

maybe you could
talk him into trying

the newspaper business...

It isn't so much for ourselves.

Well, wait a minute, mother,

that enters into it.

You see, a man hates to work

and have everything
that he stood for

just disappear.

Kind of like to
pass iton to somebody.

Yeah, you see,
we... we need somebody

to leave things to and...

Sam, Sam, listen.

How many times have I...

You never give up, do ya?

How many times have I told you

I don't like the
newspaper business?

I just don't like this business

of being a crusader
all the time.

It's an embarrassing
thing, you know.

Who's a crusade...
I'm not a crusader!

Shh shh. You are, Sam.

You are a crusader.

Isn't that right? Every time

some unpopular cause
comes along,

sure enough,
old Sammy gets himself

right smack bang in the middle,

on the wrong side.

Sam: Well, somebody's got to.

Yancey: That's what
I'm talking about.

That's exactly what I mean.

No, sir, you're
not gonna catch me

spending my... spending my time?

Wasting my time behind a desk.

No, sir. You just
look out there.

Look at all those people.

Isn't that a sight?

Every one of them...
Every one of them

has some sort of a dream.

I mean, after all,

what's the use of
any of us being here

if we're not chasing
some sort of a...

Dream of some kind?

But there they are out there.

Good men, bad men,
lawmen, gunmen,

horse thieves, wanted men,

men not wanted
so much by anybody

or anything... anyplace.

But they've all got that dream

in their head.

They've all got that new life

they're hoping to lead sometime.

Mavis: And how many of them?

Four out of five ain't
gonna make no life,

ain't gonna find
no land, no nothing.

Good old mavis.

Ah, I don't know, Sam.

I don't know how
you put up with her

all these years.

Well, somebody's got to.

I know. Come on, honey.

Good night. Good night, Sam.

Night.

Ah, mother.

Stand by.

Now you know
you're welcome to use

one of my horses.

The way I ride,

I'd never be able to hold my own

against these boys.

Don't worry about it, honey.

We've come this far, didn't we?

I didn't come this far
to get done out of my land.

Bye, pa.

I'll get my land somehow.

And what's gonna happen

if you miss that stagecoach?

Well, I'll worry about
that when I come to it.

All right now,

suppose you... take this along,

just in case, huh?

Thanks... for everything.

Good luck, Tom.

Sarah: Come along, iddy bits.

Go back to the wagon now.

Hope you get your land.

Sarah: Go, go, go.

You just stay with your ma now.

How on earth are we
ever gonna find you?

You all stay with the folks.

I'll find you.

Now say good-bye to daddy.

Children: Bye! Bye, daddy!

Yancey, can you see
our land from here?

No, it's in that
direction, though.

Way out there, there's
a big grove of trees,

and there's this gully.

On the other side of the gully,

there's this... this big hill,

and on top of that hill
is some of the finest

grazing land you ever saw.

Sam: You best come
to town with us.

You mean that
the town's already set up?

No, no, no. They have it, uh,

these certain sections
plotted off

like town lots, is that right?

Yeah.

And all the rest is
divided up into farms,

160 acres apiece.

Yeah!

And it's free.

All this wonderful land
just here to take.

They're about ready.

I'm going to saddle up.

Well...

Huh? Oh.

What a foolish sight.

An old character like you

racing like atomcat.

Help me get this
rheumatic old knight

on his wooden charger.

Take your hands
off of me, both of ya.

Since when do I
have to have help

gettin" up on a wagon?

Come on, sir Galahad.

Upsy-Daisy.

Ah!

Good luck. Thank you.

Take good care
of that wildcat, sabra.

He won't be easy to tame.

I will.

Man: Hey, Dixie.

Where'd you get them pants?

Second man:
Hey, Dixie. Whoo-hoo!

Hello, Dixie.

You racin' for land?

I already know the land I want.

Men: Hey, Dixie! Hey, Dixie!

Yancey, who is she?

Well, I gotta tell you all
about that someday, honey.

Now, look, you stay back here

till the race gets
started, all right?

Now you come on, iddy bits.

Get in that wagon.

Come on, get out of
the way of them horses.

Get over there.

Get up there, Nellie.

Never mind about that thing.

Just get up.

1 got 2 hands, and I
can't handle all of ya.

Well, we're off to the hunt.

Exciting, what?

Cecil, button your duster.

Yeah, or I'll button it for you.

I got money! I got money!

Man: Ok, get on the back
if you can.

I paid. I gave them...

I gave the man
up there the money.

Let me on!

Let me on here.

Get ready.

It's pa! I think it's pa!

He didn't make it!

Is pa hurt? Is pa hurt?

I'll... do it myself.

I've got to do it myself.

1got to do it myself.

Hey, soldiers,
I crossed the line.

I crossed that line, didn't I?

I crossed that line.

I got my land.

I got my land.

Hyah!

Hyah!

Listen. Get him.

Help! Yancey!

This is my land now.

Well, how about that?

Yeah, how about that?

Yeah, the land
is so rich out here,

all you gotta do is
toss out a handful of seeds

and up pops a corn patch
10 feet tall.

Soi'mtold.

Now, come on, Dixie.

Don't come near me.

So help me,

I'd sooner put abullet
through you than not.

You know, I think
you would, too.

Yeah.

Yancey!

Yancey, did you get the land?

Well, I didn't exactly get
the land I wanted, but, uh...

Well, I got to thinking...

After all, we're not farmers,

so what would we want...
A farm for?

But...

It's not worth it.

What do you wind up with?

I'm a woman.
Where are my children?

I'm a woman. Where's my house?

I'm a woman.

Where's my man?

You, my rheumatic old knight...

Who's gonna climb up
on our wheezy old charger

and lead us
into the thick of things?

What good is it without you?

Anything...

I'm lonesome.

Already I'm just plain lonesome.

Man: Hurry. Let's
get these claims filed.

Second man: I've got mine.

Third man: Line up.

Line up to file claims
for your land.

First come, first served.

Line up, but don't
block the door.

Fourth man: Hurry up.

Uh, Jesse...

Suppose you stay

and help me run the paper?

You're sure you want todo it?

Somebody has to.

My, what a lot
we've seen together, huh?

You and me and this...

This wicked old...

Well...

I wish you would
change your mind

and stay with us.

No, Sam left a lot of things

he was fixin' to do,

and I might just
as well get going.

Yancey, you're
gettin' right smack

in the middle of things.

You'll only end up

gettin' yourself killed, too.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Well, I better
get myself situated.

Yeah, I guess we all better.

You know where to find me.

Miss...

Everything will be all right.

Honey, you stay here.

I have something to attend to.

Yancey.

Yancey, yancey,
where are you going?

Before you know
I'm gone, I'll be back.

Yancey, please. Don't
go looking for trouble.

Honey, there's some
things in this country

a man has to do, a woman
just doesn't understand.

It's different here.

Suppose he kills you.

What's going to happen to me?

What can I do here
all by myself?

Yancey, please.

Don't go looking
for trouble, please.

Oh, please.
You must help me, please.

I'm so aeraid.

I don't know what to do.

This place...

Is this where we're
going to settle down

and raise a family?

Sabra, don't.

Oh, yancey, I'm so... please.

I hate to be afraid.

Sabra, please, it's my fault.

1so much want to make you happy.

I gotta take care of you more.

Just help me.
Tell me what to do.

Have Patience with me.

Shh. Wait, darling.
Wait, please.

Listen, I need you

far more than you need me.

You help me.

You help me, darling.

I just love you so much.

Ohh...

We just gotta be patient
with each other, that's all.

Yes.

What are we going to do, hmm?

We're going to go home.

Yes.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

We came to stay, didn't we?

And we're going to stay.

No?

Sabra?

Sabra, over here.

Sabra?

How are you?
When's the baby due?

Oh!

Come on!

Take him out there!

Come on!

Kid, don't!

I'm going to shoot
the bottles out of his hand.

Let's take bets now.
I've got five dollars!

I got $50 say you don't.

507?

We ain't seen $50

at one time in our lives.

Anyone could take all
or a piece of it.

I'll take five!

I'll take two!

Just one thing.

I don't see any point
in killing a white man.

Hey, Moses. Yeah, you.

Oris it Izzy?

If you are talking to me,

the name is sol...

Stand still!

Hold up your arms.

When I speak, you jump.

You hold up your arms,

or I'll cut you from end to end.

Let's shoot.

Hey, Moses,

don't you worry about a thing.

Kid: All right,
everybody, clear out!

Clear out back there!

I gotta see
what I'm shootin' at!

Good night in the morning!

You again, ma'am?
I'm awful sorry.

You bunch of
good-for-nothing loafers.

You ought to be
ashamed of yourselves,

playing with guns.

They were shooting at sol.

Sabra, darling.

Take care of her, please.

Take a look, fellas!

Worth twice the price

to see his face
when those bottles broke.

Oh, if I ever see a guy
who was scared, he was it.

I never seen anything
so funny in my life!

There you go, Joe.

Get your money, man.

You the one that
did the shooting?

Well, now, look who's here.

What's the matter,
you got no white-man friends?

I'm not gonna ask you again.

Was it you or wasn't it?

As a matter of fact, it wasn't,

but don't let that stop you.

I done it, cim. I was the one.

What, are you gonna
write that up in your paper?

I tell ya, we'll really give
you something to write about.

Won't we, fellas? Yeah.

Yeah.

What are you doing?
I'm not a child anymore.

And you ain't no liquor-bellied

saddle tramp neither,
like you're trying to be.

You think that's being tough?

You think that's being a man?

Oh, what are you doing?

You're treating me like a child.

I don't want you hanging around

with that crowd, you hear me?

I'm gonna get you
a roomin a hotel

and give you a job
on my newspaper,

starting right now.

Now, wait. Who do
you think you are?

Your friend, for one thing!

You think your daddy
would be proud of you,

the way you're
gambling, spitting,

and drinking your life away?

But, cim, I ain't nothin...

You think I'm somethin',
but I ain't.

I promised your father
I'd look out for you.

What if I help you out,

send you back east to school?

Would you try to make
something of yourself?

No, cim, I'm nothin'...

You better make up
your mind, boy.

You go ahead. You
go kill yourself

the way your daddy did.

Nobody's gonna care,

and nobody's gonna stop ya.

Do you know something?

I think if you really
put your mind to it,

you could make
something of yourself.

You hear me?

Maybe I have faith in you.

Well, don't.

Cim, just don't
have faith in me.

Please don't have faith in me.

Just think it over.

You just think it over.

Hey, Wes! Hoss!

Hey, skimmeroot!

I'll see ya, cim.

Skimmeroot!

That Indian woman,
what does she want?

Uh...

Honey, uh, there's
a little something

I have to do.

It's, you know,
I won't be very long.

Darling, supper's ready.

Well, suppose you
keep it warm for me?

Before you know
I'm gone, I'll be back.

Stay with her
until I get back, Jesse.

All right, hurry up.
Get him up there.

Back away.

Back off!

Mr. Jesse?

Mr. Jesse...

Please. Would you get sol
to get Mrs. Wyatt?

Yancey hasn't come back yet.

Are you all right?
I'm all right.

Are you sure?

Oh!

Let him hang.

He stole one my horses.

Now we wanna see the rest
of the Indians watch him.

You heard what I said.

I heard you.

I was against it, yancey.

I told the Indian
he wouldn't be safe here.

I didn't think
they'd go this far.

Why isn't yancey back yet?

Ain't got no call
to worry about yancey.

He'll take care of hisself.

I'm really scared of everything.

Well, why shouldn't you be?

Now, you drink this down.

Come on.

Pretty good whiskey.

Ain't gonna do you no harm.

It won't be as terrible
as everybody says,

having a baby?

That one hurt, didn't it?

Just a little.

It's supposed to hurt a little

along about this time.

Here. Drink it.

More? Good for you.

Nothin" for you to do now
but lie back and enjoy it.

What are they laughing so much?

What is there to laugh at
at a time like this?

Don't you drink?

Not when I'm having a baby.

What are you so nervous?

You think you had
10 babies already,

you wouldn't be nervous.

Not nervous.

Just thirsty.

Cimarron?

What kind of a name is that?

Yancey insisted on it.

What if she's a girl baby?

A girl?

Yancey would
send her right back!

I bet he would!

I can't have a girl.

No? Well, that's what I said,

and I got eight girls.

I got eight of 'em.

Gentlemen, you're fathers.

Yancey, what...

Shh. It's all right, baby.

It's all right.

Shh. There, now.

Oh, my darling.

Hey, Tom!

Hiya, yancey.

Hey, that's quite
a contraption you got there.

Look anything like
it oughta look?

Well, how ought it to look like?

Here's a picture in a magazine.

How about that?

You really done it, huh?

700 feet down now,

and I ain't found enough oil
to grease a fiddle.

Yancey, for once, I'm afraid

I don't think too much
of your advice.

I could've stuck
those eastern dudes

with this whole useless farm
at $25 an acre.

You wait a minute, Tom.

I figure those eastern
dudes you talk about,

they're not gonna just
give their money away.

If there's something
they don't want

on top of this ground,

then there must be something
down there underneath.

Yeah, but how far underneath?

I don't know how far down,

but if you strike water,

you'll still be ahead.

I'll strike China first.

Look, I'll tell ya

how you gotta figure it, Tom.

If you weren't sitting
around digging for oil,

then what would you
be doing, huh?

Nothin...

That's what I mean.

I'll see you, Tom.

So long, yancey.

Sarah: Come on in, Tom!

Oh, hush, woman.

You come on in now, Tom!
Food's on the table!

- Howdy.
- Hello, Sarah.

Will you come on in now?

Hush, woman!

Come on in now, Tom.

Oh, hush! Talk, talk, talk!

I swear, I think he's gone
clean out of his head.

He don't do nothin' but stay
out here with that thing,

whatever it is.

Meantime, the taters
are rottin'in the ground.

Everybody's
laughing at the fool.

Oh, hush, woman!

Will you come on in?

I'm gonna throw
your chitlins to the hog.

You know what you can do
with my chitlins?

Jesse: Hey, he sure has
managed to keep hisself busy

these past few years, hasn't he?

You'd think they were hunting
a mad dog or something.

Sabra: Why is it
you always have to take

the wrong side of everything?

Every paper in the territory
has run an editorial.

"The most dangerous public enemy

since Billy the kid."

"If the territory of Oklahoma

is ever going
to be made a state,

these killers must be stopped."

Sabra...

Only you in the whole world
could have the nerve...

You don't understand, sabra.

All I know, eight innocent
people have been killed.

And how many banks
have been robbed?

When I first knew that boy,

his father was one of
the biggest landowners,

one of the biggest ranchers

in this whole territory, Jesse.

Then the government,
they come along one day,

and they decide they're
gonna just break up

all that grazing land,

and they give
those ranchers three days...

Imagine that... three days
to get rid of their herds.

Well, you know as well as ido,

the buyers, they take advantage

of a situation like this,

and in one day,
this man loses everything

he spent all his life
building up.

And you know what
happened to him, sabra?

Do you know?

In 4 months,

he was shot for
being a cattle rustler.

And now, supposing,
just supposing, sabra,

you were eight or nine years old

like that boy was.

What do you suppose

a thing like that
would do to you?

I didn't know that.

Terrible thing is,

I could've helped that boy.

I could've done
something for him.

I don't know what, but I...

I just didn't bother.
I didn't...

I didn't take the time.

If you hadn't been so stupid,

we could've had all the money...

What are you
bringing that up for?

Ok, I made a mistake.

You won't listen
to nobody, will ya?

All I know is,

every time I bring up
the town of osage,

you change the subject on me.

That couldn't have anything
to do with yancey cravat, could it?

I'm sick of you.

I'm sick of lookin' at you,

and I'm sick of
hearing your voice,

and I'm sick of smelling you.

Go where you want, will you?

Just get away from me.

That's fine with me.

Hoss, you comin' with me?

I go with him.

That's good enough.

Wes!

All right.

You wanna get the train?

We'll get the train.

To tell you the truth,

I don't care no more what we do.

Come on, hoss.

Man: Hey, Dixie!

How are ya?

Hl, Dixie!

Pretty nice rig.

I'm looking for a lawyer.

Are you still a lawyer?

Uh, well, I...

I'm not much of one
anymore, I'm afraid.

I don't need much of a one.

Right.

In that case, I'm your man.

Here. Would you
like to sit down?

Well, now,
what can I do for you?

Hurry up, yancey. We'll be late.

Honey, you mind running along?

I got a little business
to attend to.

It'll just take a few minutes.

Would you mind? Um...

No, no. I'll wait for you.

Uh, honey? Honey...

Cimarron, you can go and
play with Ruby in the yard,

but don't go out in the street.

Honey, uh...

Uh, do you mind if we
have a little privacy?

It's, uh...

Well, it's customary, you know.

But I'm not listening.
Who wants to listen?

You go right ahead.
I don't want to listen.

Do you want to listen,
Mr. Jesse?

Well, suppose we
step outside, hmm?

Look, all I want
is some legal papers.

I'm selling the farm.

Now, can you draw 'em up for me?

You're selling the farm?

Just answer me yes or no.

If you can draw 'em up, fine.

If you can't,
I'll go someplace else.

Yes, of course I can
take care of that for you.

Well, here's
all the particulars.

You know, who's buying
and for how much and all that.

And when you get 'em done,

just bring 'em out to the farm.

Would you believe

a human being
could have such nerve?

She wants him to draw up
the papers for the...

I think it's
about time right now

that you tell me
about this woman.

Well, there's nothing to tell.

They got him cornered
at the depot.

They got the cherokee kid!

The cherokee kid gang!

Man: Watch out!

Hoss, come back here!

Cim! Cim, come back!

Cim!

We wouldn't have
gotten in this mess.

I told you we shouldn't
have come to osage.

All right, so I didn't
figure it right.

But we gotta get out of here.

They'll be around us any minute.

Hey, the schoolhouse!

Yeah. They won't figure
on shootin" us in there.

All right, all you kids
get over in that corner!

Go on! Get over there!

No! No! Don't shoot!

Don't shoot! Are you crazy?!

There are children
in the school.

My boy is in the schoolhouse!

Come on! Get over there!

Cover the window!

Hey, get down! Get on the floor!

Stay down, all of ya!

My boy's in there!
Please get my boy!

Take it easy, Johnson.

There's a lot
of other kids in there.

Yancey: Kid,
I want to talk to you.

Keep out of this, cim.
We don't want you in it!

Keep out of it!

Don't come any closer!

If you want to get these
kids out of here alive,

then drop that rifle!

Drop it!

Now you get us our horses!

Sol, bring me their horses.

Hey, you bring 'em up
to the door!

That's far enough.

Now we can get out of here.

Wes, what are you doin'?

Wes, don't.

Wes, leave that girl alone.

I'm comin® out with this kid
in front of me!

You're not comin' out
with any kid.

All right, you kids,
get out of here, all of you!

Come on, move!

I told you not to have
faith in me, didn't I?

Didn't 1?

Skimmeroot.

Woman: You girls like popcorn?

Popcorn? Here's popcorn balls.

Popcorn. I made it myself.

You like popcorn?

Here's Mrs. cravat.

She can tell you
where yancey is.

Please leave me alone now.

Like I told you,
you can read about it

in the next issue of the wigwam.

Now... now, you stay here.

I'll come back in a moment.

I'll just go change.

There you are.

Oh. Everybody's looking for you.

Reporters from New York
are everyplace.

They want to get
some pictures of you...

Receiving the checks.

I got them.

Here, darling,
your reward money.

I don't take money
for killing a man.

Then what was your reason
for going in there?

I felt responsible.

What about
your responsibility to us~?

You risk your life
for everybody else,

for any hopeless cause
that comes along,

but you tear up a check
that could give cim

a little security for once.

You'd give our boy security

by killing another man's son?

Yancey, I'd give anything

to have kept you from
going through what you did,

but it's done now,

and we might as well
be practical, just for once.

Why don't you
tear up our bills, too?

All of them! I don't care!

Why should I? Scrape
the grubby ends together

day by day!

Go ahead, tear them up!

You wouldn't care if I
took that money, huh?

How can I understand
a man like you?

Don't you know
that we have a child now?

Yes.

He needs some money
for some education!

He needs some money
for some advantages in life.

Oh, but what does that
matter to you?

That was his money you tore up!

What? What is there
in you that...

That hunger, whatever it is,
to be there...

In the middle of any excitement?

You don't know the meaning
of responsibility, do you?

What is it you want, sabra?

Did it ever occur to you
that maybe you are wrong?

Now, just wait...

No, no! Everybody else
is on the wrong side.

It's just that I don't know

what it is you want.

1 just want to be
like everybody else.

Yes, all right, but
perhaps you and I,

we just...

Maybe you didn't think of this.

Maybe you and I see
things differently.

Yes, I guess we do.

You know something else?

I don't know. Maybe...

Maybe you picked
yourself the wrong man.

And for you...

Ami the wrong woman?

I can't please you.

I just...

Can't please you, sabra.

Hey, son, I hope that someday

when you get to be a...

An old man,

you'll be able to tell
your grandchildren

when this town became civilized.

You understand what I mean?

Yes, daddy.

Yes, and with the things

that are happening
out there now just...

They just can't happen,

won't happen.

Now there's something else,

and this is even more important.

You listen to your mother,

because she's the only one

who makes sense around here.

You just don't doubt
that for one minute,

no matter what any...

What anybody says to you.

Um, uh, let's make out
we don't see her.

Now, look at our nice horse.

Look at our horse.

Yes, our horse.

Listen, we're gonna fix him up.

And I... 1 says to myself,

"if I can only get that land.

Oh, I've gotta get that land.

If I can get it,

then I'm sure that
most of my problems,

they'll be...

Well, they'll be
solved, you know,

some way."

Then I got to thinkin!

That even if
I had gotten the land,

it wouldn't have solved

most of my problems at all.

Really, you know.

Depends on...

What your problems are, I guess.

Guess so.

Well, you got the land.

Didn't solve all
of your problems,

I don't think. Did it?

It solved one thing, though.

It kept you from gettin' it.

Dixie.

Listen. Listen, now.

Did I ever tell you,

did I... didi ever sayto you

that, uh, we were
gonna get married

and that we were
gonna live here...

We were gonna live here
together? Did ever?

No. =-l never did.

You never actually said
you wouldn't, neither.

But I thought about you a lot,

a whole lot.

I love you.

No.

You came out here
to bring the papers,

and you brought "em.

Thank you very much.

Just leave the bill
on the table.

Little breeze feels
kind of good, eh?

Skimmeroot!

Do you feel better now?

Yeah.

Never could resist

a little old hill
to holler from.

Anytime you want to borrow
my hill to holler from,

you just holler away.

As long as I got it.

Hey, do you do much?

Hollerin'?

Yeah. Or don't you need to?

Me? I'm done hollered out.

Any ideas?

Oh, yes.

Sure.

Got a lot of ideas.

A man just can't wear 2 hats.

No...

Not at the same time.

Well, what do you figure
on doin' now, Dixie?

Oh, I... I don't know.

Go back to what
I ran away from, I guess.

You know, there's
not much else I can do.

Of course, uh, if 1 had a man...

Aw, come on, now.

Come on there.

You never tried real hard

to get a man, Dixie.

'Cause all you'd have to do

is just bat your eyelashes,

and you'd cause a stampede.

That's a fact.

Yeah.

You know, a man
can always, uh...

Buy anew hat

if the one he's got
don't, uh, don't fit him.

If he wants to.

Who do you think
you're fooling? Yourself?

You're not fooling me.

I know you. I see all the signs.

You left me, and
you're gonna leave her.

It's just a question of time.

And when you got those
jumpin'-meemies of yours,

like you always do,

like I can see
right now on your face,

there ain't no family,
no conscience in this world

can hold you.

And you know it, don't you?

Tell me to my face I'm wrong.

Maybe you don't know me
as well as you think.

Schoolmistress:
Time for school, children.

Everybody in.

School's starting.

Last bell, children.

Inside.

I want Togo to school, daddy.

Oh, you do? It won't be long

till you'll be old
enough to go to school.

And then you'll cryto stay home.

No. He's not gonna cry,
are you, cim?

No, daddy.

No, you bet you're not. No.

Well, you look like

a real little lady, darlin...

You better hurry.

Don't want to start
being late the first day.

Come on.

Well, I hope she does better
than idid in school.

I was kicked out of class
the first day

for hittin' the teacher
on the head

with a hard-boiled egg.

I bet you did, too.

That's a fact.

Daddy, look. Huh?

They don't want me.

Man: School board's
considered your request

on behalf of that Indian girl.

By unanimous decision
your request has been denied.

Meeting's adjourned.

You don't expect me to keep
quiet about this, do you?

You can do
what you want, yancey.

Gotta tell you
all you're gonna do

is make a lot of enemies
for yourself.

The way I feel about this thing,

if you love the Indians so much,

you ought to make your
livin' from the Indians.

You start printing a lot
of nonsense about this,

and I'll pull out
all my advertisements.

So will a lot
of other people I know.

Man: That's right.

Good. Good.

Let's keep our
children's blood pure

and their heads empty.

Jesse: Yancey! Yancey!

Yeah?

Telegram from the news service

just come in over at the depot.

What do we have here?

How 'bout that, huh?

Sabra, how about that?

"President Cleveland
has just proclaimed

the opening of
the cherokee strip

- September the 16th.”
- The cherokee what?

6 million acres
of land, 6 million.

Th... 1 mean, that
little old puny run

we were on will just look like

a Sunday-school picnic.

What are you talking about?

Honey, uh, uh, honey, don't, uh,

please don't say no yet.

- No.
- Please, honey.

I don't want to hear it.

Oh, come on, don't
say no until...

I'm just simply not interested.

We've had a chance
to maybe discuss it.

Darling, we can discuss it.

I'm not interested.
Please, darling.

Please. Let's go.

And leave everything

just when we were beginning
to get a little established?

For what reason go?

To start all over again
with the dust and the mud

and the shooting in the street?

We have got a child now
to be responsible for.

All right, I tell you
what we'll do then.

All right, fine.
We'll go, and we'll

sort of take a little
vacation, maybe, huh?

What kind of a vacation is that?

Maybe go and look at it?

Honey, this is
the most important...

This is the most important
thing that's ever happened

in the whole history
of the world,

I don't want to go!

And you won't even go
and look at it?

And who's going to take care
of cim and run the newspaper?

Well, all right.

All right, we'll
take cim with us.

We'll take cim with us.
And Jesse here,

Jesse's the one,
he'll run the newspaper.

He's done it before.

I don't even want to discuss it.

And you get that crazy look
out of your eyes.

We are not going!

We are not going!

And that's the end of it.

Well, I guess that's
the end of it.

I guess. Huh?

Man: Come on, yancey.

We're all waitin' on you.

Are you sure you
won't change your mind

and come with me?

All right, now, son,

you be real good
to your mom, you hear?

Treat her real good, huh?

And I'll bring you
something real nice.

Oh, come on, now.
Don't look so sad.

Before you know
I'm gone, I'll be back.

Make way! Make way!

Cim: I want to go with my daddy!

I want to go with my daddy!

I want to go with my daddy!

No, no, no.

You get shoes for one of them,

you gotta get 'em
for all of them.

And don't worry,
sol. I'll pay ya.

When my oil well comes in,
I'll pay you double.

Yeah, yeah.
Take... take the shoes.

Thank you, sol.

Uh, bye, sol.

Bye.

- Bye, sabra.
- Bye, Tom.

And now you.

I don't know, sabra.

You... you went to the bank,

and they wouldn't
give you the money,

so now you come
to me for it. Well...

What have you got
to put up for security?

If I had something,
I wouldn't have to come to you.

Now, listen, sabra.

Friendship is friendship,

and business is business.

If you haven't anything
to put up for...

What's that?

Stem-winding clock?

I'll take the clock.

But t-that's a cheap watch.

You can buy one anywhere.

What are you talking about?

All my life,

I wanted a nice
little clock like that.

You've got the loan.
I've got the security.

It's adeal.

Close the door.

Where is it?

On the table.

Cim, it's for you.

For me?

Yes, yes.

Look. Look, Ruby.

It has my name on it.

It's a present to me from a...

Alaska!

And there's aletterin it, too.

I bet you anything in the world
that your daddy's coming home.

I bet you anything.

Oh! What is it, a bearskin?

Oh! Yes.

A lovely bearskin.

Ooh.

It's alovely bearskin.

What am I supposed
to do with that?

Now, don't be rude.

You know better than that.

It's not the gift.
It's the thought that counts.

Now, be careful with the letter.

There must be aletter somewhere.

I don't see any letter.

Then it's in here.

Boy, he's big.

Cim: Boy, look at those teeth.

Oh, god, look at these claws.

Bet he was eight feet tall.

Reckon he could eat a man.

And please give my best
to your husband

the next time you write to him.

Yes, I will. Thank you.

Do you expect him back soon?

Well, it's hard to say.

He's away on business,
as you know,

and it's difficult

to foresee all the complications

when you're away
on big business.

It must be really big

to keep a man away
from home for five years.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Evening.

Sol.

I thought you were a masher.

I am.

Walk you home?

All right.

What do you care?

Let them talk.

I guess one more piece
of gossip can't hurt me.

Me, I only wish it was true.

Sol.

Why don't you get married, hmm?

Is that a proposal?

It would be if 1 had any sense.

Ah, sense.

Already I'm finished.

Do you know
what water is to fire?

That's what senseis to love.

Some people in love
aren't crazy.

Love.

There's love,

and there's love.

Me, a woman might love,

but yancey, if...
You'll excuse the expression,

there's a man you could love.

Hey, sol!

Oh.

Sol.

Thanks for the hat. I love it.

Isn't it alollapalooza?

I'll, uh,
I'll see you later, huh?

Sol.

Well, listen. Women...

It all comes out in the wash.

How can a woman walk like that?

You think she'd be embarrassed.

Listen, you tell me every day

it pays to advertise.

Oh, no.

Sol? Hmm?

Can I ask you a favor?

You know, everything I've got.

Would you ask her, your friend...

No, don't...

You don't even know what
I'm going to ask you.

What, ami stupid?

Does she know where
yancey is, right? Right.

So she does know.

You have discussed it with her.

Please, sabra,
don't ask for trouble.

So she does know.

Well, I'd better go
and ask her myself.

Sabra! Sabra, you can't!

I bet you I can.

Sabra!

Why don't you come
in here? It's quieter.

Sit down. Here?

Yeah. We can talk in here.

Well...

I had a very good
reason all prepared,

an excuse for my being here,

but I don't think
you'd believe me anyway.

That's good.

You seem to know me
and how I operate.

You know, uh, you
shouldn't get me confused

with them kind you read
about in the storybooks,

you know, with a heart of gold?

If I had a heart of gold,

I'd have sold it long ago
for twice what it's worth.

I guess you know essentially
why I've come here.

I don't know nothin...

You want me to know something,
you got to tell me straight.

I have reason to believe

that you know
where my husband is.

And?

Naturally, I'd
like you to tell me.

Where he is?

You're not making it any
easier for me, are you?

Why should I?

Well...

I haven't heard
from my husband...

I mean, I haven't heard
from the man in two years.

I don't know whether
he's dead or alive.

He ain't dead.

Did he write to you?

Oh, soit ain't just where he is,

you want to know
if he wrote me, too.

Well, I don't think
it's unnatural

that I'd be curious.

You women really puzzle me.
What do you mean...

You so-called respectable women.

Don't you ever do
anything or say anything

just because you want to,

not... not without worrying
what people think?

I didn't know I was
getting alecture, too.

Is it free?

I don't give nothing free.

Well, in that case,
I'd better check the price

before you continue.

It might not be worth it to me.

Your husband's in Cuba,
him and two buddies.

He joined the rough riders.

Thank you.

Is that all you want to know?

I'd like to know much more,

but I doubt if
it's any of my business.

You really think that?

No! But I'm not going

to give you
the satisfaction of asking.

You know, I have always wondered

how come a man like yancey

married a woman like you.

And I think

I'm beginning to understand it.

Do you know also why he left me?

Don't you?

Probably.

Well, I might as well tell you.

He didn't write me.
His buddy Matt did.

That surprise you,
my telling you that?

Very much.

Yeah,

kinda surprises me, too.

I doubt if I'd have told you

if the situation were reversed.

You know, I'd take him
away from you

in one second
ifi1 thought I could.

I'm glad you put it that way.

Oh, what a shame

you don't know the hold
you've got on that man.

Oh, I'm not sure of that.

You know, all I keep thinking

is a saying I heard once

about the woman who
is composed of three parts:

One part mother
and one part companion

and one part...

You know...

That.

It's that third part
that worries me,

and it's not because
I wouldn't like to, either.

Well, I'll tell you something,

for what it's worth,

I wouldn't worry about
that if I was you.

And I'm not exactly
an amateur at spotting,

you know, who's got what.

You really mean that?

Yeah.

You know, that's about
the nicest compliment

I've ever got.

Thank you. Good night.

Good night.

Good night. Thank you very much.

Good night.

Mrs. cravat!

Good evening, Mrs. lancey,

good evening, Mrs. kuye.

Well!

J ...And we'll all feel gay j

j when Johnny
comes marching home j;

j when Johnny comes
marching home again j

hurrah, hurrah j

j da da da dum dum dum qj

go ahead, cim, find your daddy.

- Daddy!
- Hurry up, Ruby!

Cim: Come on, Ruby,
let's find daddy.

Daddy! Daddy, daddy!

"Welcome home, daddy!"

Sabra. Sabra, please
don't be so stubborn.

The whole town

is going to be at
the train to meet him.

It doesn't look nice.

I don't care how it looks.

Yancey cravat thinks
he can just disappear

for five years
without a single word

and then come back and
find me at the station

waving a flag
and carrying a welcome sign.

I don't know who he
thinks he is anyway.

And how he even has the
nerve to come back here,

no matter how many Spanish
hills he ran up and down.

And if he thinks he can just
calmly walk back into my life...

A person would have been crazy

to forgive
an irresponsible, selfish...

And you? You stay right here.

Now, right here,
and you don't move.

And you see what
I'm going to tell him.

I want an audience.

I tell you...

Yancey's not on this end.

He ain't in there.

Well, he's gotta be.

Daddy's not on the train,
uncle Jesse.

Daddy's not on the train!

All right, where is he?

He ain't on the train.

He... he didn't come back.

Sol: Are you sure?

That's him, all right.
That's him all over.

You ought to have seen
the faces of the committee.

Searched that train
high and low.

No sign of him nowhere.

Why...

Why did...

Why did you come home?

You know, son, I...
Know that I haven't been

very much of a daddy to you.

But I would like to
make it up to you somehow,

if you let me.

I'd...

I'd like to make it up
to both of you.

Well, you think you'll

give your old daddy
another chance?

Hmm?

You know, you...
You think you might

squeeze a little smile
out for me?

I know I don't
deserve one right now,

but perhaps you could give me

sort of an advance on one

you might decide
to give me next week.

How about it, son?

Tom: Let me in!

Let me in!

It's Tom... it's Tom Wyatt.

Let me in! It's Tom Wyatt!

It's oil! Look at it,

smell it, taste it!

Oil! I hit oil!

I hit oil! Oil!

It's oil!

We're rich.

Yahoo!

Oh, no!

Well, there goes the money
in the cookie jar.

Oh, my, what's
so funny about that?

It's ok, mama, I'll
go to college next year.

Jit is not eunny.

What do you think
of all these statues, senator?

Wonderful.

Cost me $100,000 just
to have them cleaned.

Sit down here, dear.

- May I help you?
- Sabra.

Thank you, Tom.

Senator, here's one
I got in Milan.

Call him senator.

Old windbag.

He couldn't senate
my aunt Fanny.

Hors d'oeuvre, madam?

Where'd you get them from,

some little bitty midget?

When I was poor,

I used to have my sandwiches
that were that thick.

But look at that.

Make half a dozen,
six, seven sandwiches

out of one measly
piece of bread.

- Hi, yancey.
- Hey, Tom!

Tom! Folks!

Come here, Tom.

You want to hear
something funny?

Say, you know why they put
that Indian reservation

way out there where they did?

Because that ground...

Well, that ground
was so useless,

they figured it was so worthless

that nobody would know
what to do with it.

It'd just be useless.

Well, sir, those 2,000 Indians

squatting in
their rags out there

are now just about
the richest nation

in the whole world. Yes, sir,

they've discovered
oil on the reservation.

How about that, huh?

Well, I call that divine
Providence, huh, sabra?

Isn't that right, Tom?

It sure is.
Wait'll they find out

I got it all sewed up.

I own every drop
of oil out there.

Have a drink
to my new oil field.

Come on, yancey,

I'll pour you some champagne.

No, thanks.

Come on, sabra.

Well, I just hope
you're satisfied.

Every time I manage

to get us socially accepted
again in this town,

you have to come along
and do something again.

And you promised,
too, didn't you?

If you did come, you would
behave like a gentleman.

- Didn't you promise me?
- Yes, yes.

What did Tom Wyatt do
so terrible, huh?

He must have paid the Indians
for the oil rights.

Nobody forced them to sell.

It's purely business,
isn't it, hmm?

Well, I never thought
of it quite that way.

I'm sure you didn't.

"Wyatt swindles Indians"?

Yancey, you're crazy.

You can't print this!

I told him
I wouldn't run it off.

What's the point
of having a newspaper

if you can't have
some fun with it?

Dad's right, mother.

I'm not talking to you!

I'm talking to your father!

Now this is out-and-out libel!

We'll be ruined!

Jesse, I'm gonna
tell you something.

You know all
those Indians up there?

Do you know they're
not gonna get 5 cents?

They're not gonna get one nickel

of all that oil money.

All those politicians
and that Tom Wyatt.

Tom Wyatt, I tell ya.

But you can't prove it.

I know I can't. I know, sabra,

I... I...

I know that I can't prove it,

but I'm gonna tell...
Son, I'm gonna tell...

They don't know that,
you know...

Son, whenever you're dealing

with a bunch of crooks,
know what you have to do,

I mean, if you
know you're right?

Well, I'll tell ya.

You just stir up
a great big fuss

like we're doing right now.

You know what happens
to those crooks?

They just run.
Yes, sir, they just run

just like a bunch
of scared jackrabbits.

Yes, sir. I tell you

we're gonna get that
Tom Wyatt out of there

and we're going to make

those Indians millionaires.

All right, give that a turn,
will you, Jesse?

Turn her on.

That's it.

Yes, yes.

Look, Tom, I'm sorry.

I got my own skin to save.

Now, wait a minute, rollins.

How'd they get
the news in Washington,

from some little cheap,
small-town newspaper?

Washington? Every
newspaper in the country

picked it up from
the associated press.

Well, I ain't through yet.

You'll find
there's more than one way

I can milk abullfrog.

Sabra: Yancey, look out!

Those crazy Indians.

What do they think,
that they own the street?

Ah.

You'd think one of them
would stop and help you

after all you've done for them.

Shh. All right, honey,

we'll just give her a little push

and we'll be in fine shape.

Fellas, would you mind
giving me a hand here?

Well, I'd better walk.

I've got a civic club
due in 10 minutes.

All right, dear.
Here we go. Easy.

Jesse: Yancey?

- Yeah?
- Yancey?

Yeah, what?

Congratulations.

Yeah, what for?

Ah, where is that durn thing?

Telegram just come in
over at the office.

Thought maybe
you'd like to see it.

They want you to come
down to Washington,

get yourself appointed
governor of the...

Oh, here it is... territory.

Well, how about that?

Must be pretty hard up
for politicians

if they want
to make you governor.

You're not joking there, boy.

Train leaves at 7:00 tonight.

I went around
to check it for you.

Listen, Jesse, would you mind

not telling sabra
about this for a while?

Why?

What do you mean why?

Maybe I don't want
to be the governor.

I don't get along very
good with politicians.

All I done was
give you the telegram.

If you want to keep it from her,

that's your neck, not mine.

Well, I gotta get back.

Yeah.

Well, how about that?

What are you doing out here?

Just sitting out here?

I've got 23 women,
they'll be here in a minute,

and you just sitting out here.

Mother...

You are supposed to be
helping Jesse this afternoon.

What are you doing out here?

Did you make the salad?

You didn't make the salad?!

What are you doing?
What are you wearing?

I've got the civic club
due here in a minute!

Mother, it's a big Indian
festival day today.

She told you about it
a month ago.

What big Indian festival?

I've got 23 women
that'll be here in a minute.

Did you make the pineapple
and marshmallow salad

I told you to fix?

But you can't walk out
and leave me like this!

Well, that... that settles it.

They've got to go.

I have put up with their insolence,
with their arrogance,

even their endless
brood of relatives.

But to ask me
on a day like this...

You told them they
could go. I heard you.

I don't like this,
young man, I don't like it.

I promised I'd drive them

out to the festival.

I won't discuss it.
You are not going.

If you can't keep
away from that girl,

I'll simply have to
get her out of the house.

Now, you go and do
your work just for once,

or I'll have to talk
to your father about it.

Oh.

Hello. But...

I'm Teresa gray fox.
=I'm Sally crowfoot.

But she... she said...

Arita told us what to do.

I hope we've got everything
the way you like it.

But marshmallow...

You... you think we got away... oh!

Oh, Sarah.

Looks like we're too early.

No, it's fine.

It's just that everybody
else is a little late.

You just walk right in here.

Cim!

Hyah!

Yancey?

It's almost 3:00 in the morning.

What?

Did you wake me up
to tell me that?

I want to go out and get cim.

He hasn't come home yet.

Oh, honey, leave the boy alone.

But it's almost
3:00 in the morning.

It's 3:00 in the morning, fine.

He's not a baby.

But I don't want him out there

with those Indians all the time.

I'm... I'm worried to death
what's happening to that boy.

He's got no drive,
no ambition at all.

And that girl, that Ruby,

I really think
they're getting serious.

Well, if they are,
that's just fine.

It shows he's got good taste.

Can't you see I'm worried?

Yancey...

We have got one son.

That's all we've
got in this world,

and I see him drifting
away from us day by day.

And it's my fault, both of us.

Oh, yancey, please,

we've got to do
something about that boy.

Please, before it's too late.

- Please.
- All right, all right.

You're really worried
about him, aren't you?

You promised that you'd make up

for all the things
you never did for him.

Well, now is the time.
Please, yancey.

You see, we have
got to find a way

to get him out of this town

into adifferent kind
of environment entirely.

Now, I know we'll never
be rich like everybody else,

but if we find money
enough to... what's that?

Oh, my!

This could be the answer
to everything.

You know what... what it
could mean for the boy to...

To be the son of the governor?

Now, wait a minute.

It says they just want me

to come up and talk about it.

It doesn't say I've got it yet.

So you mean there's a chance
you might not get it?

Oh, you women.

If you didn't have
anything to worry about,

you'd worry about that.

And I'm so nervous.

Why? What have you
got to be nerv...

How about that? Look here.

I guess I don't know how to act

among civilized people anymore.

You do.

Oh, look!

Yancey, look!

Mm-hmm.

We are invited
to a party tonight!

Well, fine. That's fine.

Not a party, the party!

The congressional
new year's Eve party.

Isn't that wonderful?

Anything else, sir?

Hmm? No.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, sir,
and happy new year.

Happy new year to you, too.

Yancey, isn't that wonderful?

Yes, it is.

Sabra...

My sabra.

Happy new year, darling.

Happy new year.

Who are the Lou brothers?

Well, they're the, uh...

No, actually, no.
There's only one man.

I think he's on the committee

that recommends me.

I'm not sure exactly.

What's he want
to see you for right now?

Oh, beats me.

Oh, my goodness. What next here?

You think something's wrong?

Oh, I don't know if there's
anything wrong or not.

I don't think so.

Tell you what I can do, though.

I can take a run upstairs

and find out
what it's all about.

All right.

Suppose I do that
while you, uh...

Put on your nice pretty party
dress for tonight, huh?

How does that suit you?

Oh, you suit me fine.

You know something?

- Hmm?
- Sabra,

you know, I got to thinking.

All that you've had
to put up with from me,

being married to me
all these years,

I don't know how you've...

I don't know how
you've managed to do it.

You don't expect me to be noble

and deny it altogether?

I'll tell you something.

Tonight, being as
it's new year's Eve,

I'm going to make
a very special resolution.

You know what it is?

It's a resolution

that I'm going to try
to make itup to you.

I want to try.

Hey, honey, I need a shave.

You promise me?

Aw, maybe I don't need a shave.

Yancey, would you
really promise me?

Yeah. I know what
you're going to say. Shh.

All right,
I promise that tonight

I'll try to behave like
a perfect gentleman.

I'll try.

Now, you go. You look fine,

but you can't go with a cigar.

Give it to me.

All right?

Don't be too long.

I won't.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

What? What, what, what?

Wait. Darling,
I can't see. Turn around.

Honey, that's ok.

That's it. That's ok.

Ok.

Oh, we're going to be so happy.

Well, Mr. cravat,
I'm Lou brothers.

Come on in, sir.

Happy new year to you.

It sure is a great honor
to meet you, sir.

Oh, this is Mr. Walters.

Glad to know you.

Mr. self, Mr. greer,

and Mr. Hodges.

How do you do, sir?

You know, it's not often
a man has a chance to meet

either a great newspaperman
or a great American,

but here we have both
right in the same person.

Yes, sir, and a great
war hero, to boot.

It sure is getting deep in here.

Hl there, yancey, boy.

How was the trip?

Well, I didn't expect
to see you here.

Well, that's the funny thing
about this city.

Always expect the unexpected.

Yeah, so I see.

Everything all right?

Your room all right?

Oh, yeah, it's fine.

It's just fine.

Sit down. Why don't you
make yourself at home?

All right.

This looks like
we're getting ready

for an all-night poker session.

What are the stakes?

1 just wanted you
to meet some of my friends,

some of the boys
you'll be bumping into

once you get to be the governor.

Well, gentlemen,
it's like the fella says.

What's good for oil
is good for Oklahoma.

What's good for Oklahoma
is good for the country.

What's good for
the country, well, sir,

it's good for the whole
wide world.

The man can't say
"pass the sugar,"

without bringing tears
to your eyes.

Is there anything special
you'd liketo do or see

here in Washington, Mr. cravat?

I'd be more than happy
to have my office

take care of the whole thing.

Uh, let me fill up
your drink, governor.

Oh, hold on there, now, Tom.

I'm not the governor
yet, you know.

It's just a little matter
of signing your name.

Am I right, men?

If you say so, Tom.

The thing is, yancey,

you're talking
to the committee right now.

Whoever we recommend
will automatically get it.

Hey, are those real diamonds
you got on there?

Yeah.

My, would you look
at that? Two of them.

You know something,

when I see the way
you've sprouted up, Tom,

my goodness.
It's really something.

Yes, sir.

And I ain't forgotten
my old friends, neither.

Just like I know
they won't forget me.

What do you mean by that?

You sure squeeze a man

into laying it
on the line, don't you?

Well, no, I wouldn't say that.

I'm just going
to sort of try it out

and see what happens.

Well, uh...

Let me put it this way, yancey.

Ain't nobody gonna ask a man

to do anything
out and out dishonest.

Of course not.

And at the same time,

a little cooperation...

No cooperation and no governor.

Is that it?

I guess that's about it.

I see.

It's good liquor you serve here.

Well, we'll see, Tom.

We'll see.

Happy new year, gentlemen.

- Happy new year.
- Happy new year, yancey.

Oh, my!

I can't get over it.

1 just can't get over it!

My husband is going
to be the governor,

and I'm dancing!

Oh, come.
Let's dance again, please.

I want to swing
around and around

and around and around.

Oh, yancey, I'm dizzy.

I was so afraid
you'd disappoint me.

I didn't even want
to think about it,

you're getting made governor,

because every time

I used to count on something,

I'd only get disappointed,

but this time... this time...

When I really didn't...
Didn't think of it...

Oh, yancey, I want you to know

how grateful I am

for what you do for cim and me.

Yancey...

Sabra.

Sabra, there's something

I've got to tell you about.

I can't do it, sabra.

I can't. I'm sorry.

I know I promised them.
I gave them my word,

and I'm going back on that word,

but I just can't
go through with it.

I wanted to be governor
for you and for cim

more than anything else
in the whole world,

but I can't.

So that's the end of it?

I'm sorry I have
to disappoint you

once more, my darling,

but I can't do it.

No.

J and never brought to mind

j should auld acquaintance
be forgot? J

j and days of auld lang syne [j

All right. That's the end of it!

Sabra.

What do you want me to say?

How am I going to go back
and tell everybody

you didn't get it?

I keep on watching
everybody getting

richer and richer.

We don't even have the money

to get our own son
out of trouble!

You talk as though
the only thing

we've got to do for our son

is give him a big
enough bank account

and everything
will be all right.

No, sabra, no.

We can't live his life
for him, sabra,

and we can't expect him

to live our lives for us.

Yancey, I have
forgiven you a lot.

More, really,
than I should have,

but I'm telling you now,

if you disappoint us in this,

I'm through.

I'm just through!

Don't say that, sabra.

If you can't for your own son,

you are selfish.

Can't you ever do anything
for anybody except yourself?

Don't say that.
Don't say that, sabra.

Please don't.

Go on. Go on!

Go away from me!

Leave me alone forever!

But eight stories.

I know what I'm doing.
We need it.

You what?

At least we will need it.

$200,000.

That's... that's a lot
of money, sabra.

I mean, you want
to expand, all right.

Build yourself
a little building,

but that's a lot of money.

Didn't I always
pay you back before?

Before. Before, before,
before I loaned you $500, $600,

but $200,000...

What can you put up
for security?

Tom: Real good dinner, sabra.
I enjoyed it.

Sorry I have
to rush off like this,

but you know how it is.
Business before pleasure.

Will you listen
to that old fool talk?

Tom: Oh, now, Sarah.

High muckety-muck talk.
That's all that is. Just talk.

Ah, second childhood.

I'll second childhood you
in about two minutes,

and you knowiit, too.

You know who I miss?
I miss old yancey,

the ornery old son of a gun.

Remember the time
he picked us up,

the day we were on our way
to the starting line?

If we're going to go,
let's go, you old tomcat.

Well, we'll be seeing you.

In a couple of months
we get back from Paris, France.

Have a good trip.

- Bye, now.
- Take care of yourself.

I will.

Hiya, boy!

- Good evening, Mr. Wyatt.
- Hiya, Ruby.

Mrs. Wyatt.

Tom: My dear.

Hello, mother.

Tom: It was a good meal,
wasn't it?

Mother, I've...
Why didn't you call

and let me know you weren't
coming home for dinner?

That's the least
you could've done.

No? Let me know?
You knew we had guests.

Dinner was arranged accordingly.

So impolite.

Mother.

Well?

Ruby and I have gotten married.

I know we should've
told you before,

but I knew what your
attitude would be.

Well...

What am I supposed to do now?

Am I supposed to kiss you

and tell you how happy I am?

No.

No.

We're leaving tonight.

I've got a job.

It's in Oregon.

Mother.

We did want to say good-bye.

You needn't have bothered.

If you go, you go.

There's nothing to talk about.

If you want to throw
your life away,

then you just
go ahead and do it,

like your father did before you.

You want to go?

Then go.

Aha!

What are you doing here
so late, huh?

We've been looking
all over for you.

How are you, sabra?

We just came from your home
and everyplace.

Oh, I've been trying to dream up

something special to say about

the anniversary issue tomorrow.

So far all I've got
is a big fat blank.

Sabra, this is Jacob krubeckoff,

the famous sculptor.

I'm very honored.

How do you do, Mr. krubeckoff?

He's the best there is.

Half a million is nothing to ask

for his stuff.

He wouldn't even
pick up a chisel

for a quarter of a million.

My work, I'm afraid,
doesn't depress him

half as much as my price.

Oh, dear, Mr...

The thing is, sabra,

you know I'm building
a university.

With all the children I've got,

it's cheaper to build one

than to send them
all to college.

Well, anyhow, I hired
Mr. krubeckoff here

something that stands
for the Oklahoma pioneer.

And we got to talking
and we all decided,

the whole committee,

that nobody stood for
the spirit of the pioneer

like you did.

So that's how come
we wanted Mr. krubeckoff

to kind of talk to you and all,

and we thought maybe you'd pose

and everything for him.

- Am I right, sol?
- Yeah. Yes, yes.

You know, something nice,

like you and the little boy

in acovered wagon.

Something nice. Very simple.

But you are out of your mind.

I haven't decided yet

what should be the best
to represent whatever it is,

the spirit, but, uh,

I would appreciate
maybe you'd talk to me.

Talk.

I'm afraid they have given you

the wrong idea.

I was just sitting
here thinking,

as a matter of fact, you know,

nothing really has turned out

the way I thought it would.

My son, he... that's my son...

My son, he had to run away
to get married

to do what he wanted to do.

They won't live

in the same state with me.

He won't even write me a letter

once in a while.

And my husband...

This is my husband...

He had to run away, too.

I haven't heard from him

in about 10 years.

And... and the newspaper.

What's the newspaper?

The newspaper! Oh, my dear.

I've made it bigger, louder,

more profitable.

Yes, I have made it
more profitable.

But it hasn't got
the spirit it had

when my husband was here.

But, sabra, please. I mean,
this whole thing is...

And that's what you want,

to symbolize the spirit

of the pioneer with me? Oh, Tom.

Oh, this is very sweet of you...

What sabra means is...

He knows what I mean, don't you?

Look, let's all go out

and have a cup of coffee.

I have no time. No. I'm sorry.

You've got the editorial?

No, I haven't got the editorial.

I'm trying to squeeze out

something... something at least,

so please forgive me.

Look, this will
take five minutes.

The newspaper will not run away.

You will have a cup of coffee.

Oh, you might as well go ahead.

They've waited this long
for the copy.

Coffee will make us all think.

You are out of your mind,

all of you. What's come...

What's come over you?

You know what
I ought to run tomorrow

in place of the editorial?

I was just thinking
about it before.

We just go down
for a cup of coffee.

A wonderful woman told me once...

Remember her, sol, Jesse?

Her name was Mrs. pegler,

and she told me...
It was on the day

her husband got killed
in the land rush...

“It's not worth it,"
she told me.

"I'm a woman," she said.

"Where are my children?

I'm a woman," she said.
"Where is my man?

It's not worth it," she said.

I'm beginning to think
that she was...

You...

And you!

And you, too.

Congratulations, mother.

Oh, darling.

Congratulations.

Thank you. Oh.

I'm afraid two of
your honored guests

are just a little sleepy.

You brought the children, too?

Yes. Where are they?

Over there.

Come with me.

Oh, arita, arita.

Oh, arita.

Oh, hello.

Hello.

Hello.

- Hello.
- Cim: Mother.

Oh!

Hi

Oh, do you remember
when itold you

to stick with it?

Do you remember that day
when I told you...

Oh, she wanted to give up,

and I told her,

"you stick with it,
little lady."

Oh, you...

And she's made something.

You said...

No, no, no, no. Speech! Speech!

Speech! Speech!

Tom, you make a speech.

You are the speaker.

Speech.

Well, I feel...

I'm afraid I feel like
a fraud standing here.

If it hadn't been
for so many people

like Mrs. pegler,

there wouldn't have been
an Oklahoma wigwam at all.

Hmm? And Jesse,
who got us started,

and sol, who kept us going

through all the mean
and ugly years,

both spiritually
and financially. Oh, yes.

And most of all,
you were looking

for the spirit of the pioneer.

Well, his spirit
is here tonight.

God only knows
where his ornery self is.

And you all know who I mean.

It's easy enough
to drudge along and...

Clinging on to something
somebody else has created,

and that's all I've done,

just to survive,

but the leaders,
the true pioneers,

they are rare
and hard to come by.

Sometimes even harder
to understand.

And almost never appreciated
untilit's too late.

But such a man was my husband...

No, I don't mean was. I mean is,

because every time
I hear a sudden noise

or see an unexpected shadow,
I hold my breath,

waiting for my yancey
to burst in on me

and pick me up and...

And pick up the conversation

exactly where he left it
10 years ago.

Well, I hope
he still can pick me up,

the weight I've put on.

Oh, my god!

Yancey: "My darling sabra,

I can just hear you now

accusing me of chasing
excitement again,

but I feel sure America
is bound to get into this thing

sooner or later,

and I had to get into it
as soon as I could.

And don't ask me why.

I guess somebody's got to.

For 11 years,
I've been trying to write

this letter to you.

When I think of all
the things you've given me

and how little I've given you...

How does a man
sayto a woman he loves

I apologize for loving you?"

Yancey: We just got to be
patient with each other,

that's all.

Sabra: Yes, I just...

I just love you so much.

Oh.

What if it's a girl baby?

A girl? Yancey would
send her right back!

I bet he would.

He's part of the history,
a man like that.

We'll be proud of him.

Around and around
and around and around.

Listen, I need you

far more than you need me.

You help me.

You help me.

Yancey.
