- Oh, hello, Jeff. - Hello.

Gee, I'm glad to see you.

I was afraid I wasn't gonna make it.

I was worried about it.

- Dad? - Yes.

This is Jeffry Pelham.

Not the Jeffry Pelham?

How are you, Mr. Prescott?

I am glad to know you,I'm George.

Glad to have you on this little party.

I'm glad to be with you.

Board!

Say!

By the way, where's Joan?

- Joan! - Joan?

She's nowhere to be seen and now she's being left.

Oh!

Gee, dad.

Now, what have I done?

Now, young lady. This is final.

I'm not going to have any more bullshit--

Yes, dad, and this is final.

Now you run along and let me talk to Joan.

- Be a good boy. - Yeah.

Run along, run along.

That was gonna turn out to be the World War if you hadn't have interrupted.

Thanks.

Say, Joan, do you remember me raving about an awfully nice man that I met in Boston?

The Boston rave.

Now let me think a minute.

I remember the Boston Tea Party but not the Boston rave.

Of course, you do.

Jeffry Pelham.

Yeah, oh, sure.

Well, that party's on this train.

You're nobody's fool.

So he's the man, huh?

And, Joan..

...you're always taking men away from me.

Huh? Tch, tch, tch!

I've never really cared before

but this time it's different.

I love Jeff.

Do you really, Lizzy?

Bless your heart,you needn't worry about me

I won't even look at him. I promise.

- Now, you happy, Lizzy? - Hm.

By the way, what sort of an impression did you get from meeting with Jeff?

My impression is that he should be put in a medicine box 'cause he's my idea of a perfect pill.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm not intruding, am I?

Oh, not at all, Jeff.

Here, take my seat.

- I'm going in. - Thanks.

This is a break.

We're getting in early in the morning

I think I'll go in for my beauty sleep.

- Goodnight, dear. - Goodnight, darling.

- Goodnight, Jeff. - Goodnight, Mr. Prescott.

Children! Time to go to bed.

We're getting in early in the morning.

Well, I..

...I guess I'll hit the hay too.

I need some beauty sleep.

You're not walking out on me again?

No, darling,I'm walking in on you.

Well, at least you could stay here and tell me

just what's wrong with me.

I'll save that for another time.

- Jeff? Jeff? - Elizabeth.

- Get in there, quick. - 'Jeff.'

I thought I heard you call.

I've been looking for you.

I've been outside, dear,enjoying the moonlight.

Oh, I'd love to go out.

- Come on, let's-- - Listen, honey.

It's getting awfully dusty out there and it's getting late.

I think we better turn in.

Goodnight, dear.

See you in the morning, huh.

- Goodnight, dear. - Sweet dreams.

Joan..

...it happened.

- It happened. - Calm yourself, Lizzy.

He did it.

- Oh. - He did it.

Elizabeth Prescott, I'm ashamed of you, naughty girl.

He..

He kissed me.

Jeff kissed me.

Is that all?

Phew, I thought something worthwhile had happened to you.

Oh, but, Joan, you don't realize he never kissed me before.

Now I know he loves me and I'm so happy.

I'm so thrilled.

And say, his kiss is the sincere kind.

He's not like other men.

No.

Nice sweet type.

Yeah, I know, hm.

Well, I figure you're in no mood to talk love affairs.

You don't know what it is.

Oh, Lizzy, I do.

I'm sorry.

- Lizzy.. - Hm?

You're really in love this time, aren't you?

I sure am.

And...are you sure he feels the same way about you?

Of course I am, darlin'.

Oh, be sure.

Be awfully sure before it's too late.

Well, I hope he's worthy of you.

Hm.

I just hope that I'm worthy of him.

You get that right out of your noodle right now.

'Cause you are plenty.

- Goodnight, sweetie. - Goodnight.

The pillows.

Goodnight, Lizzy.

Come in.

Joan..

Jeff.

Oh.

You-you, you-you can't come in here.

Now, don't be frightened, dear.

I just couldn't turn in without telling you how sorry I was for-for the way I acted.

Oh, I know, but, Jeff, you don't know what you're doing.

You-you, you can't come in here like this.

Joan..

You know that I'm mad about you.

Why, when you're around, I..

...I can't think of anyone else or look at anyone but you.

Oh, Jeff, don't, please.

Joan, you can't go on avoiding me anymore like you have.

Oh, please,don't you understand, Joan?

We've gotta keep this very quiet.

You go on now and..

...I'll see you when everybody is asleep, huh?

Oh, Joan, I'm crazy about you.

Come on. I-I'll see you. We'll get together.

- You promise? - Yes.

- Don't forget now, huh? - No, I won't.

For sure? Alright.

Come on.

- I'll see you later. - Alright.

Ticket to New York and a telegraph blank, please.

Ticket to New York and a telegraph blank.

One of each.

Please.

There you are.

I don't write with my fingers, you know.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

What time does my train go?

In about an hour and ten minutes.

Ooh.

Do you mind watching my bag for me?

Well, now, wait.

You know, I-I should charge you extra for this.

Mm-hm.

Whew.

Well, I'll break a rule this time.

That's good.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Bravo, Crusoe, bravo.

Well, I'll be hornswoggled.

You can be swiggle,swaggled or swoggled but put that Chicago atomizer away.

Oh.

Excuse me, ma'am.

I wasn't calculatin' on nobody droppin' in on me

uh, way out here and just to come-a-visitin'.

And especially, no womenfolk.

Well..

You see, your house was all lit-up and the front door wide open so I thought I might as well come in and enjoy the concert.

Hmm. Yeah.

Too bad, my butler was out for the night or he'd have announced you.

Just because your butler is out does that mean you're going to leave me standing here on your front doorstep?

I sure enough ain't.

- Won't you come in? - Thank you.

Careful about slippin' on them rugs.

I just had the floors polished.

Gee, what a swanky place.

What a lovely living room.

Do you mind if I sit down?

I sure don't.

Here, take that Morris chair.

I just had the springs fixed in it.

You know...I don't know when I've had a chair make such an impression on me as this one has.

Huh.

That chair ain't nothin'.

I wish you could crawl into my bed some night.

I-I...I beg your pardon.

Oh, uh..

Excuse me, ma'am.

Uh-uh..

That didn't sound so well,did it?

I meant that..

Gosh, you got me flounderin' some now.

I will have a light though,if you don't mind.

You know, I'm getting a great kick out of this.

It's grand to get away from all the city lights

and noise and...come here.

It's so nice and quiet.

That's funny.

And here's me. Uh, way out here always a-wishin' I could get a trip to the city.

To get away from this dead silence.

Funny.

Do you live here all the time?

Yeah.

I came here six years ago from Texas.

I got a job that fits right on this here ranch.

It takes three weeks to ride around it.

And then it's time to start all over again.

It's the biggest ranch in the whole of Montana.

Whose ranch is it?

It's the Bar-L Ranch, and belongs to John Prescott.

Huh?

What's eatin' you, ma'am?

Uh, nothing.

What's this man Prescott like?

Say. He's ace high.

The salt of the earth.

Why, every man Jack on this here ranch is for him.

'But he's got a pair of high falutin' daughters'

'who oughta be hog-tied.'

Oh, yeah?

What's wrong with them?

Well..

...I ain't never met 'em personally

but from all reports, they're a pair of ornery little brats.

I wish they belonged to me.

What would you do to them?

Why, I'd turn 'em ends up across my knee.

And I'd play "Home Sweet Home" on their Southern exposure.

And then I suppose y'all would poison 'em.

And cut their throats.

And then y'all would hang 'em and riddle 'em with bullets.

And then throw 'em over the mountains for the buzzards to eat.

Is that what y'all would do to 'em?

Oh, sure. You're just kiddin' me now.

Oh, how can you tell?

Here I've been brayin' like an old fool burrow.

But from now on, I'm through.

You are going to do the talkin'.

Okay, what will we talk about?

Let's talk about..

...you.

Where you come from and where you goin' at?

I'll tell you.

I came from over there and I'm headin' over here.

No, you don't.

No side slippin' me this-a-way.

Oh, "this-a-way,"you're killing me!

We are going to talk about you.

What's your name?

Oh, you wouldn't like it, really.

It's an ugly name.

So long as it ain't horseradish I'll like it, alright.

But I gotta call you somethin'.

Ain't I?

Yes, I guess so.

I'll tell you.

You think of something that you like best of all out here.

- I got it. - 'What? '

I'll call ya "Montana."

Montana?

Gee, that's a lovely name, isn't it?

And it fits ya...perfect.

Stop fretting. Aunt Jane's at home.

She'll take care of Joan,everything's gonna be alright and don't worry.

Worry? I'm through worryin' about her.

If she's gone home she's gone home

and I'm goin' back to bed.

Goin' home? Who's goin' home?

Joan.

Are you kidding?

Boy.

She pulls a lot of fast ones.

So your name's Larry Carrigan, huh?

Yup.

That's what they call me.

I hope I'm not keeping you up.

I ain't a-hankerin' to hurry off none.

But it's gettin' late

I better be headin' you for home.

I'm parking here tonight.

But, Montana.

- You can't do that. - 'No?'

It weren't like you was a horse or somethin'.

I said I'm parking here tonight.

Well, I say different.

You are going to git.

Say, listen.

In all my life, no one ever got away with telling me what to do.

Well, somebody's gonna start tellin' ya.

Right now.

And here.

Larry.

You wouldn't make me walk all the way back to New York all alone, and on a night like this, would you?

New York?

Uh-huh.

You wouldn't, would you?

Well...alright.

Stay if you want.

But it's time to be turnin' in.

Larry.

Do I-I sleep on that pink bed or on that green sofa?

What you gonna sleep on is gonna be black and blue.

I hope not.

What's the idea of the dugout?

Eh. It's a place to put your..

Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh.

Just to make you comfortable.

That's better.

If you ever made a bed for my Aunt Fanny you'd have to dig a subway.

I'm sure glad you didn't bring her.

There you are.

Hit it.

Ooh.

You know, Larry.

I'm a-thinkin' you did make this for my aunt.

Oh, my.

Oh-hh, Larry! Larry!

Ooh.

Larry.

- What's the matter? - Oh.

Oh, it's a rhinoceros or a sea lion or something.

Oh, it weren't nothin'.

It's just a little ol' blinkin' toad.

Oh, but how it blinks.

Oh, I..

...I am afraid.

Go back to sleep now.

Larry.

Couldn't you come just a little bit closer?

I'm awfully afraid.

Oh, I..

...I mean, bring your bed a little closer.

There.

There's your mark.

Come on.

Larry..

...do you mind comin' just a little bit closer?

And, Larry..

Hm?

Do you think you could learn to like me a little bit?

Maybe.

We'll be getting in Soda Springs Creek sometime tomorrow, won't we?

I reckon we should.

Gee, I'll be sorry.

Will you be sorry, too?

I calculate I will.

And won't, both.

You won't forget me completely, will you?

That's my trouble.

I reckon I'll find it all quite tough to even forget you a little bit.

t.

Larry.

I want you to know that I'll never forget you.

Not even for a single second.

I ain't nothin' to be rememberin'.

What you tryin' to run away for?

Are you afraid?

Afraid?

Afraid of what?

Same thing I'm afraid of, I guess, Larry.

Love.

Montana..

...I ain't never seen a girl like you before.

Let alone even to talk to one.

I've never seen a boy like you, either.

Nor anyone nearly like you, Larry.

But we're different, Montana.

Me and you.

As different as dovet and cactus.

Not so different.

Just a boy and a girl.

Montana..

...I don't know what it is..

...hm, but I can't even look at you without..

...without gettin' all juggled up kinda.

Sweet.

You know, Larry.

I can't hardly look at you without getting sorta juggled up too.

Come on, give in, will ya?

Hey, boy.

You got a aspirin tablet?

- Aspirin tablet? - 'Mm.'

What's the matter,your horse's got a headache?

No, I got toothache.

A toothache, a little toothache.

What's a little toothache nowadays with all the latest devices?

Oh, I wish you had it.

Oh, pardon me,I didn't introduce myself.

My name is Dr. Bloom from the Bronx, New York.

I am selling Dr. Martin's home remedies.

This medicine is curing anything.

Coughs, colds,chilblains, baggy knees

pains in the..

Well, I ain't got any of them,I just got a toothache.

Look here, would you please come in the office and speak to the doctor?

I want to co-nsult you a second.

- I'm tying the horse. - Never mind tying the horse.

No big deal. Take off the umbrella, will you?

I can't see your face. Now, open up the mouth.

Wide, wide, wide,don't get afraid.

I want to see what's going on inside.

To see which is the tooth which...is it this one?

Ah-aah!

It's alright. That's all I wanted to know.

Are you sure you can cure it?

Now, listen, don't be afraid for nothin'. Come here.

Come into the automobile and let the doctor talk with you, come.

I'll, I'll get Sam?

No, leave Sam, ain't got no room for Sam.

I'm not a horse doctor,I'm for different people.

I am taking care for you a new remedy.

- In here? - No, no, no.

Get in the operating room.

- Here? - Yes, sir.

That's the right, boy!

Get down there and everything is going to be peaches.

Somethin' tells me nI better keep this toothache.

- Mm. - Open up your mouth, please.

Wide. This way,so I can see the tooth.

Now, I want to tying a knot in there, let me see now.

Open up the mouth, wide, let me go inside.

Now, now close down, close down. Close down hard.

- Good. - Eh.

If you don't cure me you're gonna be sleeping with Sitting Bull.

Ha, who wants to sleep with a bull?

I don't wanna be bothered with the cow's husband.

I don't know them.

Now, please be so kindly.

Your head down.

At an angle of 45 degrees.

Everything'll be peaches in a second and don't worry for nothing.

It's a little cold.

But I'll make it hot.

Phew.

Well? Is it gone?

Yeah, and so's the top of my head.

It's easy when you know how.

Well, I'm glad I didn't have appendicitis.

- So am I! - Say, listen.

If, if you wanna go over to camp maybe..

Maybe I can get some business for ya.

- Business? - Mm-hm.

D'you suppose maybe somebody's sick down there?

Well, if they ain't, we'll make 'em that way.

- You're a good sport. - Sure.

Look, I'm giving you this for a souvenir.

You are regular guy.

You...wait,I wanna get my horse.

Oh, Sam? Sam, come on.

Come on, Sammy!

Hello, fellas.

Well, Larry..

Fellas.

I want to introduce you to Mrs. Larry Carrigan.

Well, I'm a monkey's grandpa.

Hey, boy you...you sure did pick out a nice bit of sugar.

That's about the sweetest mama I ever did see on these prairies.

Montana?

I want you to meet Froggy.

Ha, one of the finest little toads that ever hopped around these here parts.

Say, Larry's been telling me a lot about you and he didn't rave a bit too much, either.

Well, is that so?

Ha, and I want you to meet Hank.

One of the ranch foremen.

- Hello, Hank. - Hello, Mrs. Larry.

Say, what's the matter, somebody is sick here or something?

Take off them hats!

Excusing me.

Oh, look,a female of the species.

What a beautiful piece of honeysuckle!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey. - What's the matter?

You-you, you can think,but, but you mustn't say it.

Oh, is that the way it's coming out?

Yeah.

Produce me, produce me,tell them, it's me!

This is, is, uh, the new man around the place.

This is the great Dr. Bronchitis from Bloom, New York.

Thank you.

Hello, doc.

How do you do?

How are you, doctor?

I was feeling pretty good till I was meeting him.

Oh, but when I'm looking back up on you am I getting a feeling that, uh..

- Here, here, here. - Kind of a f..

- I'm only thinking. - 'I see.'

Say, Larry, we're-we're kinda proud to have you here on your weddin' night.

- Thank you, Froggy. - Well, say!

I'm just thinking of something.

I have something that every couple should have on their wedding night.

- Oh, no. - Oohh, wait a minute.

How do you know what I'm catching?

Look! Cologne.

Honeymoon cologne.

Listen, this is the same thing what Mark has give to Cleopatry and what Josephine have to Julius Sneezer.

One drop of this will make even a wooden dog..

Bark!

Who'll take the next bottle?

I reckon you're kinda tired out some.

A-ridin' all day long,ain't you, Montana?

- You got the biggest ideas-- - Now, here, here.

I'm only thinking.

Yeah, well, you..

...you're gonna think a rope around your neck.

Hank? Uh.

Montana and me is welcome to spend the night here, ain't we?

Well, uh..

Uh, well..

Sure, you are!

Say, Larry.

This bein' your weddin' night we gonna let you have the bridal suite.

Get some more leaves.

I figure this about time we're hittin' the blankets.

This being a special night hereabouts.

- 'Night, boys. - Okay.

Goodnight, boys. I hope you all sleep well.

Goodnight, I hope you're sleeping pleasant dreaming.

And that you so have such a kind of dreaming--

Ahh, now, now.

'Goodnight, fellas.'

What's the matter? Are you a mind reader?

- Goodnight. - Enjoying yourself there!

Hey, hey, here!

Here, Larry, here's your bed.

Uh, thank you, buddy.

Okay.

Oh, Larry.

This is lovely.

I reckon the boys would certainly get a big surprise outta this if they knew you were a Prescott.

But I'm not a Prescott, Larry.

I'm Mrs. Larry Carrigan.

Mm, the honeymoon!

- Aahh! - Jamira!

Bless my soul,look at that mushroom.

That ain't a mushroom!

That's a artichoke.

Cost you plenty if you're buying this in a restaurant.

Say, Mr. Frogg. I was just thinking.

If Larry Carrigan were falling to sleep..

Hey, look, you,let me tell you something.

- What? - If you don't quit thinkin' and quit talkin',and let me go to sleep.

I'm gonna break you of a habit you've had all your life.

What's this?

Gettin' up in the mornin'.

Now lay me down, I'm sleepin'.

I hope Lord's gonna keep my soul.

If I die before I wake up..

...please keep Larry and Mrs. Larry happy.

And give Sam some oats and some hay and some green grass.

And just let him go.

Well, fellas, this is where we're cutting off.

- Goodbye, Mrs. Larry. - Goodbye.

Thanks for your visit.

- So long, Froggy. - Goodbye.

- Hello, Larry. - Hello.

- Put 'em in the corral for me. - Yeah.

Gee, honey, do you think I look well enough to meet your dad?

Aw, you look swell, Larry.

Gee, I'm certainly glad we stopped by the bunkhouse to change our clothes.

Yeah.

What's the matter, honey?

Are ya..

...you ready for anything that might happen?

- You betcha. - Well, come on.

Don't weaken, honey.

We got to go through with it.

Hey, hey!

Joan!

Gee, will ya pipe down and give me a break and I'll tell you something.

I'll be seeing you later. Maybe.

Hello, dad, uh..

Salutations, and...clothes.

Young lady, where have you been?

Explain yourself.

Well, um..

...I-I um..

And what's the meaning of all this?

This outlandish regalia you're wearing?

- Come on, out with it! - Aw, gee.

I'll need help to tell you anything.

Larry!

Come on in. I'm in trouble.

Howdy, Mr. Prescott.

How are you, Carrigan?

- Fine. - Larry.

Let's just tell him why I'm here and who you are, will you?

I know who he is.

He's been working for me for years.

You don't know the half of it,he's workin' for me now.

Well, Carrigan?

Well, uh, Mr. Prescott, it's this-a-way.

Uh. You see, uh..

...uh, that is, I..

...I-I mean, uh..

...uh, you see--

Yes, yes, I see.

- Go on! - Dad, please.

Wait, and give him a chance to explain it.

I'll listen to you after I've heard what this young man has to say.

Well, Carrigan?

Uh.

I-it's like this, uh. Uh.

She and, and me..

...we, uh..

...we..

...well, uh, I mean..

...you see..

He's telling you a sea story.

Uh.

We, uh..

...me and her, uh..

...she and me..

Here. We're..

We-we're married.

- 'Yeah.' - Married?

Married!

Ooh! Your husband?

I suppose so, darling,I'm his wife.

Young man..

...I want to talk to you in the library right now.

Oh.

Oh, it's alright, Larry,don't let him get you down.

Now, come on. Go on.

Well, Joan darling.

You've pulled the biggest surprise but congratulations.

Congratulations, my boy. Congratulations.

Gosh, Mr. Prescott.

- Do you mean that? - Uh-huh.

You ain't sorry or-or disappointed or nothin'?

Sorry? Disappointed?

Why, my boy, I'm the luckiest father in the world that, that little rascal of mine knew a real man when she saw him.

Sit down.

Gee, you acted all fired tough about it out there, a moment ago.

You bet I did. I had to.

Because everything I think is alright

she always thinks is all wrong.

And I didn't want any difference of opinion about you.

Get me, son? Huh?

Oh, I wish I'd stayed in,in them there mountains.

But, Joan darling,where's is, uh..

Where did you get that outfit?

I don't know. I'm worried about..

Come on, give us the lowdown on the big romance, Joan.

Can't you see, we're simply dying for the thrill.

So am I. So am I.

Y'all, y'all pardon me,while I go in and join that war before my marriage is annulled.

And there's more truth than poetry in that.

Yes, sir.

Larry, my boy,you just about made this the biggest day in years and years.

Well, I guess there'll be no murder today, huh?

Come here, young lady.

Yes, sir.

How do you like the new member of the family, dad?

Like him?

Young lady, I'll express my opinion in mighty few words and so you'll understand me clearly.

I think he's great.

You bet.

This is the first time we've agreed on anything in 18 years.

Well, honey, it's gettin' late.

I reckon we better be a-goin'.

- Going? - Going where?

Well, I..

...I kinda thought we'd go a-boardin' with Tom Healy and his wife.

Until we could get a little place of our own.

That's out. Nothing doing.

- I am your boss. - Uh. Uh.

Me.

I mean, we're your boss.

And our orders are that you're going to stay right here.

Huh?

Gee, dad. You're about the best scout in the world.

Eh-huh.

Well, I'll be seein' you.

I'm gonna run take that bath I've been promising myself.

Bye.

- Bye-bye, dear. - Bye.

Oh, bye-bye.

She's a wild one.

She's going to need a lot of taming.

Eh, she's a great girl,Mr. Prescott.

Oh, you bet she is. None better.

But I've always given her a free reign.

And she's always taken the bit in her teeth, more or less.

Well, I reckon she'll tread along in double harness alright.

Well, if you can handle her without a curb bit you're a better man than I am.

- I'll tell you that. - Yeah.

Hey, these wide open spaces sure raised heck with our little Nel.

- Are you in here, honey? - 'Yeah.'

'Come on in.'

'Just enough room for my..'

Reckon I'll just wait out here for a spell.

'Okay. Don't go away.'

That wasn't long, was it?

Come on over, lie down and make yourself comfortable, will you?

While I get dressed.

Dressed?

Why, it's almost 10 o'clock.

Uh, where are you going?

Oh, we're not in the woods anymore.

The night's just beginning.

And I thought you said you was all tuckered out.

Me, tired? Say after I got load of those kids downstairs and heard that music in the tub..

...boy, I'm rarin' to go.

Well, I reckon I'm going to, kind of back-slide on you a bit, Montana.

Huh, 'cause I'm sure enough ready for bed.

Come on, lie down there

and grab yourself a snooze, while I get dressed.

And then you'll be all set to go along with me.

Say, kids, I got a great idea.

Let's give a surprise party for the bride and groom.

Over at Joe's place, huh?

Let's get our bags.

About ready.

How do I look?

Ten years for talking to myself.

- 'Joanna?' - Oh! Larry, get up.

Friends. Huh, uh.

We're not butting in, are we?

No, every man for himself, Elizabeth.

Come on. We're all going to give a party over at Joe's roadhouse in your honor.

Oh, gee, that's swell.

Come on, let's go, will you?

- Oh. - Oh, come on, Joan.

The boys are all downstairs waiting.

Look, Elizabeth,you take the gang on over.

Larry and I'll be over later maybe.

- Come on, Joan dear. - Well, hurry!

Get that big, handsome husband of yours organized and let's go.

Okay, come on.

I reckon you'll feel mighty disappointed if you don't get go,won't you, honey?

No, Larry. Not if you don't wanna go.

Honey?

I don't know your friends at all, yet.

Can't you see, and..

And I ain't got no kind of clothes to be wearin' with 'em.

And I'd feel all fired uncomfortable by going this-a-way.

You don't understand those kids.

They're all regular fellas.

Whether you're dressed or not doesn't make any difference to them,really it doesn't.

Montana..

...I kind of promised myself I'd..

...I'd never say "no" to you..about nothin'.

But I wish you could understand why I don't want to go.

Honey..

...I want you to always understand me.

And I always want to understand you too.

Will you excuse me tonight,and-and you go along with them.

And I'll be waiting for you when you get back.

I couldn't do that, Larry.

Well, we've only just been married.

I don't want to ever be seen anywhere without you.

Yes, you could, honey.

I understand.

Now, you run along with 'em.

I-I would like awfully to go.

I haven't been with the kids for a long time.

You-you sure you wouldn't mind?

No, honey.

I don't mind none.

Now, you run along.

You know, you're about the sweetest soul I've ever known.

Darn it.

Hold everything, kids

I'm coming right down.

Hurry up.

I-I promise to make it a short session.

Really, I do.

Hey, did you have a good time?

- Whoo! - Whoo-hoo!

That sure was a good party.

I had the best time I've ever had in my life.

Too bad you couldn't have come along, darling.

Oh, it was glorious. And plenty zippy.

Hic.

Wha-what was that?

Gee, nearly scared me to death.

These kids know how to soak-up the..

Nobody's better.

Can you help a guy out of his bathing suit?

Oh.

It's a cich if my maid ever left me

you'll be a grand..

Substitute.

I nearly mucked that one.

Boy, I heard a tip tonight. I'll tell it to you later.

And you should learn to dance.

That guy, Jim, is great.

Okay, boy.

Oh, boy, this feels good.

Where are you going?

I gotta go to work.

Work?

Oh, yes. Work.

Now, I know.

Well, listen..

You don't have to worry about that anymore.

Dad'll take care of it.

That ain't the way it's gonna be.

I got a job.

I'm expecting to hold down. Like I've always done.

That's right.

Husband's do work for their wives nowadays, don't they?

Forgotten about that.

Well, I'll be a-seein' ya...later.

Uh!

Oh, gee.

Hey...you're beginnin' to forget things a little too early.

Aren't you gonna kiss me or somethin'?

I don't want it like that.

I'm awfully sorry.

Please forgive me.

Come on. Great big smile.

Come on.

Smile, come on.

I'll be, uh, coming back

uh, long about nightfall.

Okay.

Attafella, cowboy.

Going to work, eh?

You know what they say

"An early worm always catches that little bird."

Looks like our new Romeo doesn't like for his little bride to stay out so late.

- Hi, Larry. - Hello, Larry darlin'.

How are you, sweetheart?

How you feel this mornin',Sam? Alright?

You feel alright there?

I bet you don't feel as good as Sam.

Good mornin', Larry.

Oh, boy, you-you was in bed all night and your wife was out on a, on a party--

Say, listen.

Froggy..

...I've heard enough of them remarks up at the house.

And I don't want hear no more from you..

...or you're liable to get in trouble.

I wouldn't say that to you.

Aw, that's alright, kid.

I was only kiddin'.

Say, Larry..

...there's a,a little blonde girl in there

and I think she's a friend of Mrs. Larry.

And...I-I'd like,I'd like to meet her.

Sam is alright,but he can't cook.

Oh, that little blonde girl's kinda crazy but she'd be alright, I think.

We better get to going now.

Come on, get over it, Sam.

Come on, Sam.

Gee, whiz.

You sure did give me a plenty surprise by gettin' these, uh,stylish dress together.

- How'd you do it? - Very simple.

I phoned that tailor in Chicago ordered a 30-44 and with the help of air mail, here it is.

Honey, there are two things I promised myself I'd never do.

What?

And both of them is getting dressed up this-a-way.

Well, even if you are uncomfortable, you look grand.

Perfectly grand,I gotta have a kiss.

Yeah.

I'mma scared to death when Hank and Froggy gets a peep at me in this outfit.

They'll feel the same way about it.

Come on. Let's see if you're alright here.

You need a haircut,but I guess it's alright.

What the well-dressed man will wear.

All I need is a pair of tennis slippers with thisgown

and I'll be set too.

I just couldn't get into those tennis slippers.

You're gonna get in 'em and like 'em.

At it.

- Hello, how are you? - Hi, everyone.

Oh, Bob.

Glad to see you.

- Hello, sire. - Prescott.

Very nice of you to give us a party.

It's my pleasure.

Hello.

- Hello, boss. - Hello, Hank.

Awful nice of you to invite the boys over.

All my pleasure.

Hello, Froggy.

Hi, Mr. Prescott. How are you?

- 'Good. How are you?' - Alright.

Refuse me, uh, you forgot to produce me there.

Uh, I had toothache, and he took me for a ride.

This is Dr. Bram Bloom from Kainus, New York.

How are you, doc?

I'm fine, but you look terrible.

- You have a pale fa-- - Here, here.

What's the matter?

Well, you can say things but don't ever think of 'em.

Well, boys, glad to have you with us.

Hope you enjoy yourselves.

By the way, Mr. Presskin

if it happens anybody is gettin' sick here tonight and you are needing a doctor ..search for another man.

Hey.

Well, Mr. Freggle.

Now you see the kind of a people I used to was.

Hey, I-I never saw so many pretty squaws in my life.

- Got a match on you? - Hmm?

Got a light?

Light from a gas stove.

- I think I like him. - I think I..

Have a cigar.

Give me a light.

Light? 'Course, why not?

Can't help but be polite.

Don't get afraid. It wouldn't hurt you.

This is inflammatory that's coming out, you see.

Here, mate.

I better give you some of my medicine, I think.

You don't know nothing from high life.

- Say, doc. - What?

Now, will you make me a promise?

Cross my suspenders. What do you want?

If I meet that little blonde girl over there will you not tell Sam?

I wouldn't tell Sammy.

Hello, Blondie.

- The one with the cow eyes. - Oh, my dear.

He has the cutest eyes. Oh, look at him.

You know the cow's husband?

That's him.

Now, aren't you glad you put them on?

Seeing as how happy it made you

I reckon I am.

Gosh, I sure will be glad when all these parties are over with.

It seems like there's been nothing else, but..

Since we've come here.

That's not kind.

When you know dad and the kids are leaving for home Wednesday.

I reckon, I did talk out of turn a bit.

I'm sure gonna miss your dad.

But them ornery kids..

I wouldn't talk that way about your cowboy friends.

Now, come on.

Now, I sure hope they don't see me.

Hey, hey.Larry.

Great time. Proud of you.

Well, Larry Carrycone.

You certainly look sweetly tender.

Say, that's a beautiful suit.

Did you, uh, walk up one flight and save ten or did you walk downstairs and how much are you still owing the people there?

- Hey, listen, son. - Yes.

Eh, you feeling fine, ain't you?

- Oh, in the peak of condition. - Yeah.

If you keep talking this way you won't feel that way long.

Say, Larry.

I bet if the cows went on a stampede now you'll have to ride a side-saddle.

- Say, Froggy. - 'Hmm?'

One more crack like that, and somebody's gonna be frying your legs for dinner.

The crack still goes.

How did you ever do it, darling?

I think he's simply amazing.

That it.

No weak moments, darling. He'sminenow.

Are you a real cowboy?

Hey, Larry.

That's the little blonde I was talking about.

Am I close enough now to meet her?

Hello.

Hello, blondie.

Yeah. I-I want to ask you something.

I got a little horse,his name is Sam.

But he.. Sam don't cook. He wants to know, do you cook?

Well, I'm fixin' it up for you.

Well, that's alright.

I've got a little horse, Sam

and he can't cook, and..

I meant,Miss-Miss What's-her-name--

Oh, I think you're the cutest little man.

I wouldn't say that about you.

No, no, he don't mean this. He meet a fox face.

What he's meaning,he says if he had the nerve he would take you in his arms and he would kiss you, and..

But I-I-I could do it my own way don't you think that'd be alright?

Have you got a way? Now go ahead.

No, it's a different way.

Um..

I wouldn't laugh at you..

Lift up your hat and kiss her. Go ahead.

Oh, now, don't-don't say that.

- You got to be aggressive. - Yeah, what?

Kiss her. Kiss her.

On the lips.

Go ahead. Right, look. Right there.

Let me show you. Will you, please?

No, I don't think..

Just wait a few minutes now.

Sam and me is gonna take you for a ride.

You wanna go with Sam?

- Go ahead, already. Kiss her. - Well, I-I--

Alright, then let Sam kiss her.

Well, cowboy.

Are you having a good time in that straight jacket?

Anytime you can get away from that wife of yours, darling

I know a swell hideaway.

Get wise of yourself, big boy.

Play the field. It's being done this season.

Don't be a sap.

Oh, you want a cigarette?

Well, they're comin' out.

Match. Come on. Give me the match.

Hey, listen, mister.

I ain't got much use for you.

Nor folks with your kind of principles.

And I calculate, I can do without any talk from you.

Anytime.

- Alright. You were nice. - Thank you.

Uh-ah-ah-ah. Go away.

You know, Jeff

you're terribly, terribly nice but terribly, terribly dangerous.

Uh-oh!

I-I think war is being declared again.

I'll see you later, Jeff.

What's the matter, pop?

Well, you guess it.

I reckon, war is a good name for it and I'm declarin' it right now.

Capital Bluff, backed up by a clever disguise but it won't work.

Take off that mask.

I know who you are, Reginald Pemberton.

Oh, no use, Montana.

My crew is fed up on that bunch in there.

Oh, you got a hot flash or something.

Come on in and saw the icicles off of your nose.

Montana, you are my wife.

And according to way I've been taught it's a man's job to protect his wife even though she don't agree thataway sometimes.

Now, parson, we'll have no sermons tonight.

Oh, come on in and circulate with the kids, will you?

No, Montana.

I tried to like that bunch because you wanted me to.

But I've got my own notions of decency that they don't measure up to.

Larry, you don't understand. They're my friends.

Well, they're all ladies and gentlemen.

Gentlemen?

- They ain't a man among 'em. - Larry!

They are nothing but a bunch of low-down double-crossing critters as poisonous as a nest of measly rattlers.

There ain't even one of 'em fit to even talk to you or look at you let alone dance with you.

I'll talk and dance with whom I please.

You might just as well get used to it now and like it.

You're my wife.

And I'm telling you I'm drawing the line between you and those men in there.

And I'm meaning this young Jeff fella in particular.

I said I was going to dance with whom I please.

Now if you watch carefully enough you'll see that I'm meaning that young Jeff fella in particular.

Gee, Jeff sure knows his tango.

And both are just perfectly adorable.

You know, I can't figure Joan.

Jeff's the type she should've married.

She and Larry won't get on along together.

It's just not in the cards.

'Look at the woman. She's floating.'

- 'Whoa!' - 'Whoa!'

- 'Ow! Oh.' - Mister..

- Larry, no! - No, don't do it.

Larry, don't hit him again..

Jeff!

Are you alright?

Honey!

Hon.

Honey, you-you don't understand.

I do understand.

I understand that we've made a great mistake.

You don't belong here with me and my friends anymore than I belong with you and yours.

Now, you-you don't mean that?

I do, I do, I do mean that!

Montana, you've had your way long enough.

And you're going to listen to me.

I'm fed up with that bunch of hypocrites and we're going to get out of this mess.

You are coming with me.

Take your filthy hands off me!

You can't treat me like you treat your cattle.

And what's more,I'm not going with you.

I hate the sight of you.

Get out of my way!

Get out of here!

Get out!

Honey, you..

...you don't mean that?

I-I've never meant anything so much in my life.

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

Oh.

Oh, Larry.

Oh, Larry, I'm so sorry.

Larry! Larry, wait.

Oh, gee, Larry, I didn't know what I was doing with him.

You-you will forgive me,won't you?

You will, won't you?

Oh, Larry, you've got to forget it all.

You've got to forgive me.

Don't stand there looking at me like that.

Say something.

I've said all I know to say.

Talk is no use between us.

Oh, but Larry, I-I didn't mean a word of it. Honest, I didn't.

Oh, you must forgive me, please.

Oh..

Larry, ain't you gonna see your missus anymore and let her patch things up?

No, Froggy.

There ain't nothing to be patching up between us.

The book is all closed.

And it ain't gonna be open no more.

You know,I-I feel the same way

about Sam, right now.

Sam just ain't Sam no more.

I went out to the barn little while ago and what you think I found?

There was a little Sam.

Lit-little Sam,he don't eat grass.

Funniest little ol' boy

is about that high.

'Where's Carrigan?'

'He's here.'

- Hello, Larry. - Howdy, Mr. Prescott.

- Hello, Froggy. - Hello.

I'll tell you more about that after a while.

Alright, Froggy.

Thought I'd run over and say goodbye.

We're leaving for home tomorrow, you know.

Joan's plannin' to go along with us.

I calculate, that's about the best thing she could do, Mr. Prescott.

My boy, why don't you have a talk with her?

We all make mistakes.

That's just it.

I made a mistake.

I'm sayin' I shouldn't have gone to put no western saddle on a New York thoroughbred.

And that's unless, I was mighty careful that saddle fit mighty comfortable like.

You know, this is the first time in all her life I've ever seen Joan regret anything.

No, Mr. Prescott.

We've gotta let things set as they are.

The further you get up a trail the harder it is to turn back.

And you know that, sir.

Yeah, I guess so.

Well, I must be goin'.

Goodbye, Larry.

So long, Mr. Prescott.

Bye, boys!

I'll be seein' you in the fall.

Okay!

I guess that means that little old blonde is going with him.

I'm sure glad Sam ain't going.

'Cause I-I hear they ain't got no grass in New York.

Larry, I'll bet it's gonna be lonesome around here now with all those people gone to New York City.

I had quite a good time while they was here I bet you did too, didn't you?

Look, Larry, there they go now.

And Mrs. Larry's with them too.

You know that little ol' blonde girl ran off and left me?

I wouldn't do that to her.

All I got left now is Sam.

And Little Sam.

Mm-hmm.

Come on, Froggy.

I got a lot business to be tending to.

And we've got to get movin'.

Alright.

Wait 'til I get my lamb chop.

Hyah.

Goodbye, little girls.

Say, lady.

We change cars here for the big city.

My error, darling.

I forgot to set my alarm clock.

Oh, yeah?

You're not expecting to see anyone down here, are you?

Who? Me? Don't be silly.

Now, Joaney.

Come on.

Well, don't you think he should be down here to say goodbye or something?

Oh, honey..

- Goodbye, Mrs. Larry. - Goodbye, boys.

Hope to see you next year.

- Goodbye, Ms. Prescott. - Goodbye.

- Bye-bye. - Bye.

Bye.

'Come along.'

Hey, kids.

Come here.

What is it that's on your mind?

Here's a goodbye forever to Mrs. Larry Carrigan.

And a welcome back to our little playmate, Joan Prescott.

And here's hoping that I'll be able to return that smack on the chin to Mr. Larry Carrigan.

The big four flusher.

My dear!

'Up!'

The glass, I think you put him down. Pronto!

You too, senorita.

Up!

Well, Mr. Whoever-You-Are,what's the big idea?

What do you want?

Pretty quick you see what I want, senorita.

Say, listen, you can't do a thing..

Ow.

Those hands, my friend.

They is to stay up.

It's working perfectly.

Keep it up.

Oh, you contemptible cowards.

You miserable excuses for men.

Not one of you have nerve enough to try and protect a woman.

You stand there,and as long as you're not hurt that's all you care about.

Oh, I hate the sight of you.

- Bravo, senorita. - Oh, shut up!

I'm not talking to you.

Oh, so you like big, strong men?

Then why got a husband like this little pansy?

He's not my husband.

Thank heavens!

But I have a husband.

And it's the luckiest day in your life that he's not here now.

that he's not here now.

But if he were you wouldn't dare touch me you wouldn't dare even look at me.

Can we go now?

- Get off! - Get off.

Come on now, blondie,what's the matter with you?

Okay.

Come on, Larry, take it off.

Did you know it was me all the time?

Oh, that accent of yours is so thick

I can cut it with a knife, Larry.

- A bandit took Joan. - Why, that's alright.

- Alright? - He's her husband.

He's got a right to take her.

- Larry? - Sure.

Why, sure it was Larry.

I knew it all the time.

Don't you suppose if it was anybody else

I'd have wrung his neck?
