[speaking in foreign language]

With the, um, with the,
with the Indians!

[speaking in foreign language]

[indistinct chatter]

[humming]

Avram!

[grunts]

[speaking in foreign language]

[door closes]

I want to talk to you
in private.

Speak only English.

'And no matter what I say,
don't smile.'

[speaking in foreign language]

Sha!

Sha!

Out of 88 students
graduating from this yeshiva

'you came in a close 87.'

'Don't smile.'

'Look sad.'

There is a new congregation--

- In America?
- Wait!

Sha!

[indistinct chatter]

Shtill!

Somemeshuggener

suggested your name
to become the new Rabbi.

I am forced to take
an official vote

of the board of Rabbis.

[speaking in foreign language]

Close.

It's a close vote

But I am the chief Rabbi!

'I am the one
who has to decide!'

So, cowboy..

...I am sending you
to San Francisco.

Sha!

- Where is San Francisco?
- By New York.

[speaking in foreign language]

Get out, quick.

[instrumental music]

[Avram]
And so on a wonderful,
sunny day in 1850

I started out
my great adventure

and I left Poland
for Philadelphia.

The city where all the brothers love each other.

[instrumental music]

Belinski, with B.
Belinski.

[indistinct chatter]

[speaking in foreign language]

[girl #1]
'Daddy, daddy.'

The boat's gone.

[speaking in foreign language]

'Understand?'

- Somebody should have told us!
- What did he say?

- What'd he say?
- Says the boat has gone.

Mister, mister, please,
what'd you just say about

the boat to San Francisco?

- Gone.
- But that can't be.

That boat's supposed to leave

first tide of the morning!

Supposed to?

What the hell's
the matter with you?

It's a gold rush.

Haven't you people
heard anything?

Next boat, two months.

Oh, God.
Oh, my God, help me!

Just this morning me
and my brother got the news.

Alright, who's next?

[sobs]

Our mama's dying
in San Francisco.

What am I gonna do?

Oh, there, there
must be some way

that a person can go
to San Francisco

in another way than the boat.

Not for us, sir.

Just 10 minutes ago
me and my brother

sold our horses
and our wagon

so as we could purchase
tickets on this here boat

and now we ain't got neither.

Well, perhaps
if you go to the man

and you told him
your troubles

and you give him
back the money.

He would give you
back the wagon.

You think he'll do it?

If he is a good man.

I think he would
do that, yes.

Oh, Mister, would..

...would you help me, please?

I'm not much good
explaining myself.

I usually just start to cry.

I will do that.

I would be happy to do it

but I don't know if
I would be much help to you

with the way I speak English.

Wait, you don't
have to carry the bags!

[Darryl]
'My brother,
his name is Matt.'

'Say, say, what's your name?'

- 'Avram.'
- 'Avram.'

'Oh, my name is Darryl.
Darryl Diggs.'

'Anyway, my brother's
got a temper.'

Sometime he just unloads,
you know, what I mean?

Can't I help you to carry--

No, that's alright. I got it
all. Don't worry about a thing.

Just step in here anyway.

- What is it again, Abrum?
- Avram.

But you didn't
do nothing wrong.

- Did everything go alright?
- Well, we missed the boat.

- What?
- The boat sailed yesterday.

The whole town's goin' crazy,
Matt. It's gold rush.

It sailed yesterday.

So what are we supposed
to do now?

Well, God may be
on our side yet, Matt.

Thanks to
this here gentleman.

Avram, this is my brother,
Matthew Diggs.

How do you do?

Mr. Jones!

Mr. Jones,
we missed our boat.

We find ourselves
in a desperate state.

We need our horses
and our wagon back

so we can get
to San Francisco

to see our mum
before she dies.

So if you'd be kind enough
to take your money back.

I sympathize with your
misfortunes, fellas.

But you've got to understand

I'm in the business
of buyin' and sellin'

and I don't sell
unless I can make a profit.

But-But we don't have no money
to give you a profit.

Then we don't do no business.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, Mr. Jones.

How much profit do you need
from these gentlemen?

$50.

Oh, $50.

That's it, Matt.
We're sunk.

I'm sorry, Avram,
I'm sorry I wasted your time.

Well..

...uh, perhaps
I could pay the $50.

[instrumental music]

That's real
kind of you, Avram.

I don't know how's
we could ever pay you back.

Do you, Matt?

Uh, $50.

Look, I don't know.

If I could have a seat
on your wagon to San Francisco.

I would be more than paid back.

Well, you pay the $50,
you-you can have a seat

with a cushion on it,
can't he, Matt?

[laughs]
All the way.

I would share the cushion.

Yowee! Matt, the lord
is smilin' on you and me today!

Amen.

[Samuel]
'Gentlemen, quiet!'

Wonderful, marvelous news.

Just this morning
I received this letter.

"Dear, Mr. Bender.

"This is to inform you that soon

"God willing you will have

"a Rabbiand a Torah.

[speaking in foreign language]

Shh!

"Rabbi Avram Belinski

"has left Poland to join you

"in the village
of San Francisco.

"Avram thanks you
for the picture

"of your lovely family.

"He is looking eagerly forward

"to meeting
your daughter Sarah Mindl

with an eye
towards matrimony."

[gasps]

Papa.

Not now, Sarah Mindl.

But Julius..

Go to your room.

[male #1]
'What's the matter
with Sarah Mindl?'

Bender, a Rabbi is better
than a Rosenscheine.

[instrumental music]

Do you want a bite?

Oh, thanks.

[music continues]

There she is, Avram.

That little shortcut
I was tellin' you about.

It's goin' to get us
to San Francisco

four days earlier.

Good.

[music continues]

Aah!

Whoa!

Whoa!

What happened?
Is it Indians?

Mr. Jones, what's happening?

I don't understand.
What's..

Darryl, tell him
I paid the $50.

- He paid the $50.
- You paid the $50?

- Yeah, I did.
- Whoa.

Oh.

Whoa!

[Avram]
'Mr. Jones, what you want?'

'You want to take my clothes?'

'You need my clothes so much?'

'You don't have
your own clothes?'

'No, no,
not the Torah,please!'

'Take my money.
You can have the..'

'God! God, help me!'

'Mr. Jones,
please don't do that!'

No, please.

Please, no.

'What you need my talithsfor?'

- Why are you doing this?
- We love you.

Why are you doing this?

You're not happy
with our service?

No!

God!

I don't want to be
with these filthy crooks!

We'll fix that you bucko.

'Now, here you go.'

[laughs]

[Darryl]
'How'd we do?'

[Mr. Jones]
'I got the rest of his money.'

[laughing]

[groans]

[speaking in foreign language]

[instrumental music]

Ooh.

[singing in foreign language]

- Morgen.
- Good morning.

- Good morning.
- 'Morgen.'

We have decided

that thou shouldst
have this money

for the train to Akron.

We are sorry
it cannot be more.

'We all hope'

it will help thee
on thy journey, Brother Avram.

I will never forget

thy kindness.

Thanks.

Bye-bye!

'Goodbye, children.'

'Goodbye.'

'Thank you very much.'

Thanks. Goodbye!

'Goodbye, Avram!'

[Avram]
'My parents have a farm.'

'Not big like this one'

'but they have
a nice farm.'

How is it that thou
are not a farmer?

Well, God made me a Rabbi.

- Why?
- Why?

I think he had
enough farmers.

What a wonderful country.

[instrumental music]

[train chugging]

Simple Simon says, "Put
your fingers on your nose."

Simple Simon says,
"no laughing."

[laughs]

Simple Simon says, "Put
your fingers on your nose."

[girl #2]
'Mommy, I really have to go!'

Simple Simon says, "Put
your fingers on your nose."

Don't bother
the man, honey.

Simple Simon says,
"You don't have to play."

[male #2]
'I think we're
an hour and a half away.'

[train chugging]

[instrumental music]

[girl #3]
'Mommy, I'm getting sleepy.'

[female #1]
'Then take a nap.'

[music continues]

[train whistling]

[male #3]
'I don't think these trains
stay on schedule.'

- 'Mama, I'm hungry.'
- It's too soon for lunch.'

[humming]

Oy!

[female #2]
'Don't forget to check those
bags when we get off the train.'

[male #4]
'I know. I know.
You told me a hundred times.'

Ladies and gentlemen, can
I have your attention, please?

Now I want you all
to stay calm and listen

'cause I'm only
gonna say this once.

'First thing is,
don't turn around.'

'There's a man behind you
with a big shotgun'

'and he don't care
to be recognized.'

Them that don't believe me
is gonna die.

'Alright, now.'

'All put your hands
on top of your heads.'

'Good. That's real good.'

Now we're all gonna play
like we're in church.

Got something
for the collection, sir?

Very kind.

Ma'am?

Thank you, thank you very much.

Ma'am?

Thank you.

Well, thank you all very much.

Jake, I'm jumpin' here.
You go at the next bend.

Remember, folks,
the best way to keep your heads

'is keep your hands
on top of 'em'

'and don't turn around.'

It's better to give than
to receive, ain't it, folks?

[instrumental music]

[train chugging]

Eh, Simple Simon says,
"Everybody laugh!"

[laughs]

Don't you get the joke?

Simple says, "every..

...everybody gotta laugh!"

[laughs]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[Avram]
It's difficult to explain

that a Jew can't ride
on a Saturday.

And for a Jew,
Saturday begins on Friday.

See the foreman.
Name?

[laughs]

Good, good.

'See the foreman. Name?'

'Some strange-looking characters
looking for jobs.'

See the foreman.

[men grunting]

[screams]

Sorry! Paco, sorry!

It wouldn't happen again.

You can bet
your boots on that.

[grunts]

Oy!

Oh, he did it again!

[grunts]

Wait, wait, wait, Paco!

Wait, wait,
it wasn't done on purpose!

- Avram, some water over here.
- Coming right up!

The fresh, fresh water
coming right up.

- Avram.
- What?

Ugh!

Paco, wait.

It was an accident!

- I didn't mean it.
- I'm gonna kill you, pendejo.

I'll break your Jewish bones!

You smart, youlisten.

We open up big restaurant.

You work one year, make
enough money to buy a wagon.

Maybe we even

Open up big joint
in San Francisco.

Paco, would you show me
where to buy a horse?

Hey, pendejo.

Nice horsie.

That's a good horsie,

Let's take it slow and easy.

Oops! Oops! Slow!

Slow. That's it.
Be a good horsie.

'Sarah Mindl..'

'Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.'

Oh,mySarah, Sarah.

Oh, if you knew
what you meant to me..

[speaking in foreign language]

Hey, shoo!

[speaking in foreign language]

[speaking in foreign language]

Not you! Wait! Not you!

No, horsie, wait!

No food and no horse.

Now what?

I'll be good to you!

I'll pick grass for you!

'I'll scratch your back!'

'I'll give you a nice rub!'

[singing in foreign language]

[Avram]
'Chicken, chicken, chicken!'

Chicken, chicken, chicken,
chicken, come here.

I don't wanna hurt you.

I just want to eat you.

[speaking in foreign language]

'Komme hier.Wait!'

I don't wanna hurt you.

I just want to make
you kosher!

[instrumental music]

[gunshot]

How hungry are ya?

Ah..

I'm pretty hungry.

[gunshot]

If you had been here yesterday

we could have had
roast chicken.

Mm..

So that's
Jewish cookin', huh?

Pretty good, huh?

Where you comin' from?

Back there.

You're from
California, huh?

California is that way?

Lost, ain't you?

- Got any money?
- No.

- Got any food?
- No.

Sure talk funny.

- Where you born at?
- Poland.

Oh.

That near Pittsburgh?

No, that's near
Czechoslovakia.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

And you're going
to California?

Yes.

You ain't gonna make it.

Excuse me.

In the morning, would you
be kind enough to point out

in which direction
is San Francisco?

- Sure.
- Good.

- In the morning.
- In that case.

Would you like
to fight for that last fish?

You think you got a chance?

I think I can say,
with complete confidence

none whatsoever.

But I'm still hungry.

- Help yourself.
- Thanks.

What you call
this kind of fish?

'Well, that's a trout.'

- A trout?
- 'Mmm.'

- It's got a lot of bones.
- 'Mm-hmm.'

You got family
waitin' for you?

I'm, I'm promised a wife
when I get to San Francisco

but I haven't ever met her.

You're gonna marry
a woman that you never seen?

I didn't say
I never seen her.

I said I never met her.

They sent me a picture
before I left Poland.

- Whoa-ho-ho, yeah!
- What you think?

No, that's my kind of woman.

'You son of a gun!'

'You son of a gun, you!'

[laughs]

Shee-it!

Aah!

I guess so.

This other one
ain't bad neither.

- 'Goodnight, Rabbi.'
- 'Goodnight, chowboy.'

[Tommy]
'That's a real woman.'

Eins, zwei, drei,and tight.

Once through this one
and pull tight.

This goes down..

Well..

...it's nice meeting up
with you, pard.

Nice meeting up
with you, pard.

- You got it straight?
- Oh, sure.

Right from this tree,
I head straight north

five or six weeks
till I come to the flat country.

Yeah..

Then I make a left
for two days.

That way I avoid the Indians.

Then I cross the river

and I make a sharp right,
away from the mountains.

Once I get to the desert,
God willing.

I just continue straight as piss

till I come to the ocean.

Take a left

keeping the ocean
on my right shoulder

and just hot-tail it
right into San Francisco.

Good?

Pretty good.

Well..

...I hope you make it.

Okay, wait, horse.

Good.

Alright, go, horsie.

That's it.

Straight ahead.

Speak any Mexican, do you?

No, why do you ask?

Oh, nothin'.

Just curious.

If you should ever come
to San Francisco.

I hope that you'll call on me

and we could talk over
some nice times.

Come on, horsie.

Hey!

That way!

That way?

Well, o-o-of course,
I know it's that way

but first I have to go
around that big log

before I can go that way.

You mustn't turn
a horse so quick.

That's how accidents happen.

'You've gotta start
nice and slow.'

That way you get off
on the right foot.

Oy, oy, oy!

Hey!

'What kind of crazy horses
they got in this country?'

What do you call
this in Jewish?

Uh, uh, tukas.

Well, you keep your eyes
on this tukas

and don't take 'em off
till I tell you.

[Avram]
'Keep my eyes
on the tukas.'

[horse neighing]

Shee-it!

Don't get no closer
to that edge, Rabbi!

- What kind of word is that?
- What word?

You always say she-it
at a certain moment.

Shee-it?

Well, that's, uh..

That's, um, what do you, uh..

Well, you must have a word
in your language that you..

What do you say when you
get really took by surprise?

Oy gevalt!

Oy gevalt?

[Avram]
'Yeah.'

That's it.

That's what
shee-it means.

Oyshee-it!

Yeah, that makes sense.

Slow, slow, horsie.

Well, this is it.
Where are you going?

Back down the river a few miles,
a good place to cross.

- 'Why not here?'
- ' Here?'

Here is a good place to die
but it ain't a good place

to cross the river.

We just jump in
and swim straight across.

Simple as pie.

If you wanna kill yourself,
go ahead.

I don't like the odds.
I'm taking the long way.

Now that shouldn't be
so difficult.

[rattles]

[speaking in foreign language]

'That's a killer!'

[shouting in foreign language]

Wait! Wait a minute!

Where you goin', horsie?

'Whoa!'

I didn't say where to go yet!

Whoa! Whoa!

Oh, no! Oh, no! Whoa!

Whoa! Oy, oy, oy!

Oy, oy!I almost got it!

Shee-it!

Aah!

[splash]

Hey!

That snake
could've killed me!

Damn me, if he can do it,
I can do it!

[instrumental music]

Yah! Yah!

Help!

Oy gevalt!

Goddamn! Oh, shit!

[splash]

Uh-oh.

Shit.

You know, Rabbi.

You're one crazy bastard!

Remember!

I'm the kind of person
when he says

he's gonna do something,
he does it!

[male #5]
'You got a guarantee, huh?'

'He could be laying out there'

'somewhere dead
in the wilderness!'

Bite your tongue!

You're talking about
my future son-in-law!

[giggles]

'Somebody maybe
should remind Sarah Mindl.'

Rosalie!

Rosalie!

Get your sister
away from that idiot!

I'm not mixing in.
I'm not mixing in!

This is a nice little town.

- Cold, but nice.
- Yeah, I guess.

'I don't think that fellow
is a 100 percent.'

♪ Loved by the moonlight ♪♪

♪ Loved by the moonlight ♪♪

I'll see if I can find us
some place to stay.

♪ Beautiful dreams.. ♪

Some place pretty cheap.

Yeah, pretty cheap.

♪ List while I woo thee ♪

♪ With soft melody ♪

♪ Gone are the cares ♪

♪ Of life's busy throng ♪

♪ Beautiful dreamer

'Bout tomorrow mornin'.

This ain't traveling weather.

I know this place
ain't fancy, but..

But it's got a roof

and like you say,
it's cheap.

[chickens clucking]

So we just stay here
for a couple of months.

- And then head south.
- No!

I've wasted
too much time already.

When they banged
on your head

they must have
mushed your brains!

If you're so God damned
worried about time

how come you don't ride
on Saturday?

I told you,
it's against my religion

to ride on the Sabbath.

Well, I got me
a new religion, too!

And one of the things
you ain't allowed to do is die!

Them's real mountains
out there.

and that's a real blizzard
building up!

I'm tellin' you
we can't make it!

- I can make it.
- Goddamn!

I ain't gonna let you
talk me into this.

It's just impossible!

'Every goddamn Indian
knows that!'

'Every goddamn
trapper knows that!'

I know, you don't like it
when I talk that way.

But I'm tellin' ya..

You ain't gonna talk me
into it this time!

Am I trying to talk you
into anything?

Goodnight!

- Have a nice trip.
- Goodnight.

And thanks for everything

you did for me.

Up until the time

I needed you the most!

Don't wake me in the mornin'.

I'll try to be as quiet
as possible.

So, what do you
think now, Rabbi?

It's cold.

You should see it in winter.

[Avram]
In the Talmud it says..

"Find thyself a teacher"

and this I had done.

However, there were times
I feared

that he would find
another pupil.

[Tommy]
'Get your horse down!'

[dramatic music]

If we'd have gone on

we'd have froze to death!

No! Make one!

Move!

Come here!

Closer!

Wait!

We are doing this
to keep warm, aren't we?

Uh-huh.

In that case, you can
put your arms around me.

Come here, darlin'.

That's better.

Hey, look!

[instrumental music]

[Avram]
'I think we've found
the garden of Eden!'

[Tommy]
'Well, it ain't exactly
the garden of Eden.'

What a wonderful place
America is!

'There are no walls
around these cities.'

'You don't have to worry
about the soldiers'

'comin' in from the next town
and killing people.'

You know,
I think this is the West.

We're in
the Wild West here.

Just like the books
I read in Poland.

Just hold on..

This is a wonderful city.

They've got banks
and restaurants.

They've got merchants
of all kinds here.

And look at the people,
how they're dressed.

I think those are cowboys.

- Howdy!
- 'Howdy.'

Pull up here.

I've got a little business
I want to take care of.

Hold on to the horses,
will ya?

And I'll be right back.

Move it! Hyah!

- What's happening?
- We just robbed the bank.

- What did you say?
- We just robbed the bank!

What do you mean, "we?"

[gunshots fired]

The bank!
They just robbed the bank!

Oy gevalt!

[gunshot]

We need a posse, boys!
Let's go!

- What for?
- I said we need a posse!

To hell with you! I ain't got
any money in the bank.

But they robbed it!

Well, go get them.
It's your bank.

Five dollars a man
when we catch them.

- '"Five dollars?"'
- 'Seven-fifty.'

- 'Not worth it!'
- I'll go for $11.

- Ten!
- Eleven!

Alright, you bastards, $11.
Let's go!

[clamoring]

[instrumental music]

Hyah!

Don't get comfortable.
We can't stop here.

How could you do this to me?

It's what I do.
I'm a bank robber.

But you made me
a bank robber!

So what?
You get your half.

Get out of my life!

What?

Get out of my life!
Get out!

I don't want you here!

- Get out of my life!
- Hold it!

[grunts]

Take it easy,
take it easy.

You better cool off.

[grunts]

Cool it down.

Guns?

You're going
to shoot guns at me?

Guns?

[speaking in foreign language]

[grunts]

You know,
you're really crazy.

Sure I'm crazy!
I'm a bank robber!

Who else would rob a bank
but a crazy?

You, you ain't no bank robber.

All you did was
hold the horses.

You think I could
tell them that?

- Sure.
- And would they listen?

Yeah, they'll listen!

Then they'll hang you!

And what if
I give back the money?

[Tommy]
'You mean your half.'

Yes, I mean my half.

Well, first they'll
string you up by your balls

until you tell them
where the other half is.

Then they'll hang you!

[horses neighing]

[dramatic music]

Make up your mind, partner.

Hyah!

Oy!

Oy!

Oy gevalt!

Go fast, horsie!
Go fast!

Wait, Tommy, wait!

'I'm coming!'

- Looks like fresh tracks.
- They was here, alright.

- Here's some blood.
- Hey, that was me.

I knew I got that one.

If you did, he sure took
a long time to start bleeding.

Alright, let's go, men!

Let's look for a tree
for the hanging!

Hey, hey!

Hey!

Another river?

[instrumental music]

I wish that we could
build a bigger fire.

Well, we can't!

You're lucky to have this much.
They ain't that far behind us.

By sunrise,
they're going to catch on

to my dumb-ass trick.

There.
That ought to warm you up.

Three hundred
and twenty dollars each.

Not bad, huh?

Now, ain't you somethin'?

Tell you the truth,
I never figured you

was gonna take the money,
tainted and all like it is.

So, you're rich.

What are you going to
do with it all?

When we get to the next town

I'm going to send it back.

Well, I'd be careful
till then.

It's dangerous out here.

A fellow could
get hisself robbed.

I'll keep out a watch
for strangers.

[grunts]

[singing in foreign language]

[Tommy]
'About ready.'

Church over, we'd
better make tracks.

I figure they know
pretty much where we're at.

It ain't going to take them
too long to find us.

Hold still. Hold still,
horsie, be good.

[Tommy]
'Can't really
afford such a late start.'

What the hell are you doing?

I don't ride today.

What are you talkin' about?

- Today is Saturday.
- So?

- I don't ride on Saturday.
- Well, I know that.

But don't tell me you
ain't going to ride today!

I ain't
going to ride today.

I asked you not
to tell me that!

That's what
I'm telling you.

But this ain't no
ordinary Saturday!

Why is this Saturday different
from all other Saturdays?

'Cause this Saturday

there's a hanging posse
chasing us!

I promise you, right now they're
doubling back to that stream!

I don't ride on Saturday!

Jesus, you give me

the peedoodles!

There ain't no Jews
in that posse, you know!

They'd just as soon string you
up on Saturday as any other day!

They don't give a shit
for your holidays.

Don't you know that?

Goddamn it
if I'm going to walk!

I've asked you not
to say that.

You stupid, ignorant,
son of a bitch!

I ain't waiting around
for that posse to find us!

- I'm leaving!
- Who's asking you to stay?

Goodbye! Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

There it is.

[sighs]

I'm gonna
show you something.

Look over there.

'You know what that is?'

Yes.

Well?

When the sun sets.

Know what you are?

You're a real meshugana!

"Meshuggener."

[horse neighs]

[dramatic music]

They're comin'.

Damn you!

- Come on.
- They're comin'.

Now?

Not yet!

Now?

Not yet!

Now!

[music continues]

- Now!
- Thank God.

[Tommy]
Longest damn day of my life.

[instrumental music]

Now, these are apple trees.

Hot!

It's hot.

Will you quit that?
They ain't comin'.

- How do you know?
- 'Cause it's been four days.

I'm telling you,
they ain't coming.

Now just relax!

What's that?

[dramatic music]

Indians! Let's go!

Go, horsie!

[screaming]

Now go! They ain't serving tea,
you know, you idiot!

Oy! Oy! Oy!Go, horsie!

Shee-it!

- Hyah!
- Quick!

Go quick, horse!

Can't they see
that we're friends?

What did they want?

They wanted
our horses, our guns

our scalps, our heads..

Jesus, I don't know.

They wanted our asses,
that's what they wanted.

But why? What did we do?

They've been shit on
by white men so long

they don't ask
questions no more.

They wasn't painted up for one
of your bar mitzvahs

I can tell you that!

Oh, no. Oh, no!

Oh, my God!

- What's the matter?
- Oh, my God.

- What's the matter?
- Oh, God!

- The Torah!
- Wait!

Wait, damn it, wait!

I ain't going with you
this time, goddamn it!

Let's go!

That was war paint,
you stupid ignoramus!

They won't talk,
they'll just kill you!

- Will you let go?
- I ain't going!

- You son of a bitch!
- Who's asking you?

So long, sucker!

Have a nice funeral!

You dumb asshole!

[Tommy]
Get me out of this!

Please..

[indistinct chatter]

[Tommy]
'Oh, God! Get me out of this!'

'Oh, please, please, Jesus!'

I'm your friend.
I don't..

I don't want to die.
Please!

[singing in foreign language]

[Tommy]
'You goddamn son of a bitch.'

[continues singing]

I never did anything wrong.

How did I get into this?

[grumbling]

Who the hell are you?

Me Rabbi..

Jewish Rabbi.

Come from far away..

Across big ocean.

I read much books
about Indians.

[laughs]

You don't speak English
very well.

[speaking in foreign language]

[Tommy]
He's a holy man, chief.

Speaks to the spirits
every morning and every night

and he's so good
and kind and gentle..

Just a sweetheart of a man.

Why, even when we robbed
the bank and the posse

was chasing us,
he wouldn't ride on Saturday,

No, siree, 'cause
that's his holy day

and he didn't want to make
his spirits angry.

Can he make rain?

Rain? Rain?

Oh, you should have
seen the rain!

I mean buckets of rain,
coming down day after day.

'I didn't know what the hell
we were going to do'

'with all the stuff.'

And if you want to talk
about snow--

Don't talk about snow!

No.

You came for this?

Yes!

I have read this book.

Did not understand one word.

What do you call this book?

Torah.

Th-orah?

Torah..

The Torah.

- "Torah."
- Good.

[laughs]

Will you trade your horse
for Torah?

- Yes.
- Your horse and your boots?

- Yes.
- And your clothes?

Yes.

And everything else you own?

Yes, everything.

- Even your knife?
- I have no knife.

[indistinct chatter]

- No knife!
- 'Oh!'

[female #3]
'What man has no knife?'

You have no knife?

No.

If I give you back Torah

will you purify your soul
through fire?

Yes.

Shit.

If I let you go..

...may I keep Torah?

No!

[instrumental music]

[speaking in foreign language ]

Rabbi with no knife.

You are a brave man.

And you..

Who speak to Indians
as if to little children,

Your heart is big.

- Not as big as your mouth..
- Ah, well..

But you have
good feelings inside.

Thanks, chief.
Thanks very much.

[chanting in native language]

Thanks.

L'chaim!

You should just be healthy.

And that's the most
important thing.

Ah!

Now, this is a good drink.

The Great Spirit
send us right..

Wonderful!

Wonderful and nice dancing.

Nice does not make rain.

Yes or no,
can your God make rain?

- Yes.
- But he doesn't.

- That's right.
- Why?

Because that's not
his department!

But if he wanted to,
he could?

- Yes!
- What kinda God do you have?

Don't say my God.

- He's your God, too.
- Don't give him to us.

We have enough troubles
with our own Gods.

- But there's only one God.
- What does he do?

[laughing]
He can do anything!

Then why can't he make rain?

Because he doesn't make rain!

He gives us strength
when we're suffering.

He gives us compassion when
all that we feel is hatred.

He gives us courage when
we're searching around blindly

like little mice
in the darkness.

But he does not make rain!

[thunder rumbling]

[excited chatter]

Of course..

Sometimes just like that

he'll change his mind.

Huh..

[drums beating]

[chanting in native language]

- This is really good food.
- Watch out for that stuff.

What's the matter with you?
I love this fruit.

It ain't fruit!
I'm telling you.

- Watch out.
- Eat.

See that?

Good! I don't know
what the recipe is

but this is good.

Tell me,
what do Jewish people do

to express joy?

Just like the Indians.
They dance just like this.

- Show me.
- Me?

Oh, I'm not a very
good dancer.

Do you feel joy?

Yes, I do, very much.

Then show me, please.

Dance with my people.

Well, I'll take a crack.

[Tommy]
No.

Oh, no.

[speaking in native language]

I want him to dance with you.

He is going to show you
how his people dance.

[thunder rumbling]

Well?

You ready on the tommies?

[speaking in foreign language]

And go!

Everybody dance!

Always with the left foot first.

First we start slow.

Then we're going to do
some nice foot work.

That's it.
That's good with the hands.

'Watch that lady.'

'I think that lady's
a Jewish Indian.'

'Just have a little fun'

'and don't you worry what
the neighbors are thinking.'

[singing in foreign language]

Watch the left foot.

Try to keep in time with
the other boys and girls.

'That's it. Just get a message
from your feet.'

'They are talking to you
all the time.'

'I'll tell you,
if you could move the waist'

'and the hips a little bit'

'you'll be very happy
with the results.'

And walk toward the left.

The left shoulder out.

That's the way we do things
in the old country.

And hold on tight.

'Here we go!'

'And don't get wet!'

'Move a little faster.
Faster!

Listen to the beat.
Stay close.

Everyone shout!
Get ready.

Go, let's jump!
Now we do a jump!

A little bitty jump.
That's the way we do it.

'Try a little jumping,
one, two, three.'

Again, again.
And ready for a trick?

Here we go, clap your hands.
One, two, three, four.

Clap right, clap left.

One, two, three, four.
Clap right, clap left.

'I think you've got it now.
You've got the swing of it.'

'Just listen to the crazy feet.'

'They're going a mile a minute.'

One, two, three, four.
Clap left, clap right.

Everybody clap your hands.
One, two, three, four.

One, two, three.
Clap your hands.

[drums beating]

[chuckles]

[all cheering]

[thunder rumbling]

[chuckles]

[bells ringing]

Hello.

[bell tolls]

Uh..

Am I in the,
in the right place?

I hear bells.

Oy, vey.

Am I..

Is this..

Uh, I'm not..

Oy..

I think I was a little sick.
Wasn't I?

Um..

You want to ask meanything?

He can't, cuz.

Tommy.

- How are you?
- Good.

Well, you look a lot better.

Boy, you were really
out of your head last night.

You had me really worried.

Could you eat
a little something?

- Always.
- Good.

They're waiting
breakfast for us.

Oh.

Leave that Torah here.
It'll be safe.

Had enough trouble
with that Torah.

- Oy.
- You're okay, huh?

- Yeah.
- Oh, good.

Why didn't you listen to me

when I tell you
about that stuff?

Do you think I'm talking to you
for my own good?

I tell you something,
I'm not talking to you

for my own health.

What's the point
of all my experience

if you don't listen to me?

Come on,
they're waiting breakfast.

[Avram]
'You mean they never
say anything...ever?'

[Tommy]
'See, once they take the vow,
they stop talking.'

I mean, not one word.

There's an old man here,
Father Joseph.

He ain't spoken in 45 years.

Forty-five years!

What? How do they..

What if they're playing cards

and they want to ask
their partner something?

What do they do?

Forty-five years?

[Avram]
How can you live that long

without ever asking
a person one question?

Good!

'I like this food.'

I know not
to ask any questions.

Don't worry.

I understand.

Do you grow these
right here..

'Sorry, sorry.'

I understand.
No talking.

[shushing]

It's just that I'm not
used to this, you know.

[chuckles]

Um..

Would you please..

The salt.

'Pass the salt, please.'

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

[laughing]

[all laughing]

[laughter continues]

[harmonica music]

You did it, didn't you?

You gave them back the money.

- Yep.
- Yep.

Well, that ain't
the American way.

What's more,
now you ain't got no money.

Well, now what you gonna do?

- Don't know.
- You don't know.

Well, I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna get me a bath.

Then I'm gonna get drunk.

Then I'm gonna catch me
a whore with great big tits.

Then I'm gonna
get drunk again.

Then I'm gonna rob
that Wells Fargo office

and get my money back.

You dumb-ass Jew.

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

Wa-hoo!

Wa-hoo!

Wa-hoo!

- Wa-hoo!
- 'Evening.'

Evenin'.

We don't allow dancin'
in the street.

If you wanna dance,
you go on over to the saloon.

- Oh, thanks.
- 'Evening.'

Evenin'.

[indistinct chatter]

[dance music]

[indistinct chatter]

[dealer]
'No more bets, please.'

[dice clattering]

'Two, the winner..'

'Okay, no more bets, please.'

Hello.

Hope you don't mind
if I watch.

Stranger in town?

'Welcome to the Red Dog.'

I like your piano playing.

'No more bets, please.'

[Darryl]
'Ain't you got
the darnedest luck.'

[dealer]
'Two times a winner!'

Yeah! You won again, Matt!

Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

No more bets, please.

'One, red,
the winner again!'

Hey, what the hell
are you doing, mister?

Would you hold this
for me, please?

Well, I, uh, no one in-in..

Alright, the wheel waits
for no man. Place your bets.

Come on, Matt.
You've got a winning streak.

Let's go, boy.
Place your bets.

[chuckles]

[dealer]
'One, red, the winner!
He wins again.'

I want back my money.

I know you
from some place, don't I?

You must be loco, mister.

I want my $200.

Piss off.

[grunts]

[laughing]

[dealer]
'Alright, alright!'

'No more bets, please.
That's good there.'

'No more bets.'

[cowboy #1]
'I can't believe it.'

'If he's smart,
he'll leave right now.'

'Looks like big trouble.'

[laughing]

[dramatic music]

I don't want
to hurt nobody.

I just want my money.

We're gonna kill you.

[grunts]

[clattering]

That there is just
to get your attention.

[groans]

Just stay on the floor.
Pretend you're hurt.

[laughing]

[laughter continues]

[woman screaming]

[grunts]

Are you ready, Mr. Jones?

Oh, I'm ready.

[grunts]

Oh, now I remember you.

Are you ready?

[chuckling]
Yeah.

[grunting]

Put him on the bar.

Oh.

[chuckles]

[Jones]
'He's gonna do
the beer barrel.'

We haven't done that one
in a couple of months.

[laughing]

[Darryl]
'Now, come on, now.

'Don't mess up
his funny beard.'

[laughing]

'Oh, he'll break
the bucko's face.'

'Oh, don't break the bar.'

[bartender]
'I hope he's got enough money
to pay for this.'

[laughing]

[gunshot]

[women screaming]

Nobody move.

'You..'

...put $200 on the bar.

[gunshot]

Oh!

You know where
the next one's goin'.

Yes, sir.

And you..

- How much you got?
- $82.

Get it up there.

[coins clattering]

Put the barrel down now.

Now..

...the three of you..

Go away.

Leave the rest.

Yes, sir.

[horses clopping in distance]

[gurgling]

[indistinct chattering]

You're a rich man.

I got your $200 back.

'Your friends just left.'

[upbeat piano music]

Well, in that case..

...let's go out
and have a little fun.

I'm game.

Well, cuz, we made it.

Hey, it's just like
I told you.

Right at that big tree

then left
for a couple days

sharp right
and then straight as piss

till you come
to the ocean.

Who would have dreamed
it could be so simple?

Yeah.

If you don't know me
the next time you see me

I'm gonna kick your ass
all the way back to Poland.

Why wouldn't I know you?

Are you going away
someplace?

Well, yeah.

Here's where we say goodbye,
Avram.

What do you mean?

Well, you follow that beach
for a day and a half

you'll be in San Francisco.

You don't need me no more.

Where are you going?

[chuckles]
I'm going that way.

Sutter's Mill.

That's where the gold is.

But I don't want you to go.

Well, I got to go.

Why?

Well, I've got people to see

banks to rob, you know?

I, I'll make a living.

Who's going to be
the best man at my wedding?

What do you mean?

That's for one
of your Jewish friends.

You've gotta pick
your best friend for that.

You..

...you are my best friend.

I'm your best friend?

You're my only friend.

Now listen to me, cuz.

You keep your eyes
on this tukas

and don't you take them off
until we get to San Francisco!

I never had a best friend.

It's cold!

California is cold!

[laughing]

Hey, I've got a bank robber!

You think a bank robber
is stronger than God?

I'm a rabbi!

I can beat
any bank robber!

[gunshot]

[Darryl]
'Swimmin' lesson's over.'

Look at 'em,
mermaids of the ocean.

[Darryl]
'Caught 'em
with their pants off.'

It's time for a little
comeuppance, boys!

[Jones]
'Damn you, horse!'

'Ho! Ho, now!'

[gunfire]

[groaning]

[screams]

[gunfire continues]

[gun clicks]

[gun clicks]

[Tommy]
'He's out of bullets!'

He dropped the gun!

Get the gun!
Shoot him!

'There, right there, look!'

It's in the sand!

'Don't let him grab
the other gun!'

'Shoot him!'

'He's gonna kill us!
Shoot him!'

'Shoot him, Avram!'

'He's going
for the other gun!'

Shoot him, for Christ's sake!
Shoot him!

'Help me!'

'He's gonna kill us!
Shoot him!'

Shoot him, Avram!
Shoot him!

'Don't you understand?
He's going for the other gun!'

'Don't let him
grab that gun!'

'Don't let him grab
the other gun!'

'There! There! Right there!'

'Look, it's in the sand!'

'Shoot him, Avram!
Shoot him!'

[gunshot]

[groaning]

[groans]

[panting]

Only looks bad, cuz.

I've been hurt worse before.

Give me the whiskey.

Get the saddle bags.

I'll show you
how to fix me up.

Alright?

You've never killed
a man before, huh?

Get me the saddle bag.

[groans]

Now go to sleep.

You're still acting
kinda funny.

Are you sure
you're alright?

I'm fine.
You go to sleep now.

Hey, rabbi..

...you think God sent me
to show you the way?

Perhaps.

I must be some kinda angel.

Well, it's sure a pretty day,
ain't it?

Yes.

It's a beautiful day.

Oy!

Howdy!

Hello.

Uh, Howdy.

Howdy. How do?

- Hello, there.
- Do you want something?

Well..

Do I want? No!
Well, gol'dang it, ma'am.

My name is Tommy Lillard

and I come from the Texas.

Uh, I come from Texas.

And, uh..

Excuse me if I gave you
a little startle there.

I was a little startled there
for a second.

What do you want?

Well, I came to bring
this thing here

for Mr. Bender

if and I got
the right house and all.

You do.
I'm his daughter.

Yeah, I know.
Oh, you're the daughter?

You are the Bender daughter?

Oh.

Howdy.

Would you care to come in?

Well, I would like to

but, uh, thanks, no

because I got a friend
waiting at the saloon.

And, uh, my other friend,
the rabbi

asked me to bring
this here to you.

I mean, bring this
to your father.

What is it?

This thing?
I don't know.

I think
it's some kind of Torah.

A Torah?

Yeah, I think
that's what he called it.

So, where is he?

- Who?
- The rabbi.

Where is the rabbi?
Oh, where is the rabbi?

The rabbi.

Well, I don't rightly know,
ma'am.

Um, the last time I seen him,
I was busting my britches

in the cat house.

And, uh, my friend,
the rabbi, asked me

if and I should
ever come Frisco way

would I drop by this house
and do him this favor.

Oh.

Anyway, it was nice to, uh

make your acquaintance, ma'am

and, uh, I'd, uh..

Is something wrong?

No, no, no, no.

It's just I didn't know

that your eyes
would be so brown.

How would you know that?

How would I know that?

[laughs]
How would I know that?
That's right!

How could I know that?
I couldn't know that.

Well, uh, I'd, uh,
better get going.

I hate to keep
my sidewinder waiting.

So, I just give you that

to give to, uh,
to your father.

Oh, look, look, wait.
Wait.

- Papa!
- No, no, no!

Don't call the papa!

I'd really better
get my ass out of here.

So thanks, and adios
for everything.

Wait, wait!
Please!

'Papa! Wait!'

Wait!

Papa.

[ballroom music]

[indistinct chatter]

You ain't gonna eat
none of this?

I don't understand you, man.

If you don't eat, you're gonna
sure lose your strength.

This is a good piece of meat.

You oughta have something.

You gotta eat something.
Thank you.

Gracias.

Now, look,
you go up and change.

And then we'll go together,
and we'll tell your people

that the new rabbi's arrived.

Alright?

I've told you
that I can't be a rabbi.

Don't you tell me that.

Just don't say that again.

Not after what
I've been through to get

your goddamned ass
here alive.

If you hadn't shot that man,
we'd both be dead.

Do you understand that,
you ignorant asshole?

You do understand that?

He was gonna kill you
then he was going to kill me.

Am I right?

When you shot
that son of a bitch

that was not a sin.

Then what the hell
are we talking about?

When those men

were shooting at you

I ran to save the Torah.

So?
I understand that.

You're a man of God.
I understand that.

I wasn't thinking
about God.

I didn't do it
because of God.

I don't know one thing
about God.

I was thinking about a book.

'I cared more for a book'

'than I did
for my best friend.'

I don't know
if you can understand that.

I don't want to insult you

'but do you understand
what I mean?'

I chose a piece of paper
instead of you.

But I forgive you.

I know that you do.

But you're a good man.

I am a good man.
I am.

But I'm not a rabbi.

You don't say that.

Tommy, I'm not a rabbi.

Don't say that!

You are a rabbi.

I'm a bank robber.

I'm a card player
and a whoremonger.

That's what I am.

You are a rabbi.

You can fall in the mud,
you can slip on your ass

you can travel
in the wrong direction

but even on your ass,
even in the mud

even if you go
the wrong direction

for a little while,
you're still a rabbi!

That's what you are!

'Right?'

'If I'm who I am, how come
you ain't what you are?'

'You're just too goddamn good'

'to have the same rules.'

'You answer me.'

'You look me in the eye
and you answer me.'

'Don't you dare sit there
and not answer me.'

'You'd better have
an answer for me.'

[instrumental music]

[indistinct whispering]

We don't belong here.
Come then.

[indistinct chatter]

[speaking Yiddish]

Huh?

[speaking Yiddish]

What's he talking about?
What's he talking about?

He wants to know
if you're the rabbi.

Me?

You tell him.

I'm the rabbi.

You're the rabbi?

Funny, you don't
look like a rabbi.

I just traveled 3000 miles

across this country.

And I was thanking
my best friend

for getting me here alive.

My name is Avram Belinski

and I come from
a small village in Poland.

And don't you judge people
by their appearance!

- We have a rabbi!
- We have a rabbi!

[all cheering]

Excuse me, rabbi.
Please forgive me.

I am very, very happy
to see you.

Let's have a drink,
for God's sakes!

Wait a minute,
wait a minute!

Who's paying?

Take from the building fund.

Everybody to the bar!

Pardon me, everybody.

Please, please make
a little room here.

Thank you.
I'm so sorry to disturb you.

Bartender,
drinks for all my friends.

Well, what will you have?

[Avram]
Straight whiskey.

'Whiskey for everybody.'

[indistinct chatter]

Rabbi, this is Mrs. Bender.

Welcome.
Welcome, rabbi.

And this is my younger daughter,
Rosalie.

I know that
in our marriage agreement

I mentioned
my other daughter

Sarah Mindl.

But what difference
does it make?

Papa.

You know, your father thinks
that you can just switch

one promised wife
for another promised wife

but I know that
it isn't that way in America.

So, please

don't feel obligated
in that way.

Wouldn't you like to dance
with me?

I would.

I would love to dance with you

but you know, a rabbi
shouldn't do that.

A rabbi can dance
with his fiancee, can't he?

[ballroom music]

[gunshot]

[women screaming]

[indistinct chatter]

Bartender!

Yes.

You get out here!

Yes.

Now, you listen good!

That man killed my brother.

[indistinct chatter]

'Me and him gonna have
a fair fight.'

There ain't gonna be
no advantage taken here.

We're going outside.

'Bartender, I just
want it down for the record..'

...this is gonna be
a fair fight.

'Rabbi?'

Rabbi, let's go.

No more killing.

Oh, yes.

Oh, oh, yes.

Please, don't do this.

It would be terrible

if some innocent people
in here got hurt, wouldn't it?

[people gasping]

[indistinct chatter]

Huh, rabbi?

Is what he says true?

'Is it?'

Alright, get outside,
both of you.

[dramatic music]

[indistinct chatter]

[bar keeper]
'Go somewhere else.'

[Matt]
'Rabbi..'

...you got a gun?

Well, there you go.

'Well, don't worry.'

'You know this gun.'

This is the one
you used to kill

my brother Darryl with.

There's gonna be
no advantage taken here.

'There.'

Just like a man.

Make your move.

[instrumental music]

Well, don't just stare at me!

You ain't gonna get away
with it like that!

Draw, you stinking coward!

[gunshot]

[indistinct chatter]

Stop it, please!

You yellow bastard, draw!

You draw, or I'm gonna
bash your head in!

[dramatic music]

That was just
to get your attention!

Now listen to me!

The war's over!

[gun cocks]

'You understand that?'

No more killing!

[gunshot]

[indistinct chatter]

[gunshot]

You reach
for that pistol again

and I'll blow your head off!

This ain't your fight.

This is my fight!

But he killed my brother

and I'm gonna kill him!

You and your partner
and your pig-faced brother

ambushed us on the beach!

'And if the rabbi
hadn't pulled the trigger'

'he would have shot us
both in cold blood!'

Reach for it!
Please!

Wait a second.

Now wait a second.

Let's talk this over.

I'm not a rabbi
for nothing, you know.

'I think I have a solution.'

Just wait a second.

This is a very big country.

I'll tell you what I think
is the best thing.

I'll take San Francisco

you take the rest of America.

And if you ever come back

to this place again

I don't think
you're gonna get off so easy.

Now get the hell out of here.

Would somebody please
show this poor asshole

the way out of town?

[all cheering]

[instrumental music]

[glass shatters]

- Mazel tov!
- Mazel tov!

[applause]

[indistinct chatter]

[Avram]
I've crossed rivers

and I've climbed
high mountains

and I was captured
by wonderful Indians.

I did so many things.

God has truly blessed me.

[sobbing]

And what's more,
how many rabbis can say

that they had a bank robber
for a best man?

Mazel tov.

Music, maestro, please!

[instrumental music]

[sobbing]

[sobbing continues]

[music continues]

[sobbing]

[upbeat music]

[music continues]

[sobbing]

[music continues]
