[ Hoof beats ]

HEY, MIKE. DID IT COME ?

YEP, WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S HERE.

WANT IT NOW ? WANT IT NOW ? YOU KIDDIN' ?

[Mailman] I GOT IT RIGHT HERE. [ Grunts]

TAKE IT EASY.

THERE. YOU GUYS LAUGH AT ME.

TELL ME I'M WASTIN' MY TIME.

TELL ME I CAN'T WIN NO CONTEST.

NOW, WHAT YOU GOT TO SAY ?

WELL, WHAT IS IT ? FIRST PRIZE, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

FIRST PRIZE. YEAH, BUT WHAT IS IT ?

WELL, IT'S A-- WELL--

WHY, IT'S A SMEDLEY DICTO-RECORDO-GRAPH.

YOU LUG HEADS. THAT'S WHAT IT IS. THE QUESTION STILL GOES.

AW, GEE, FELLAS, ALMOST EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT A SMEDLEY DICTO-RECORDO-GRAPH IS.

WE'RE MEMBERS OF THE GREAT MINORITY. WHAT IS IT ?

VERY SIMPLE, FELLAS. YOU JUST TALK INTO THIS GADGET LIKE THIS, AND IT TALKS BACK TO YOU.

A MECHANICAL WIFE. IT'S USED IN AN OFFICE FOR TAKIN' DICTATION.

I GOT A HUNCH JERRY NEEDS THAT LIKE HE NEEDS ANOTHER HEAD.

ON HIM, TWO HEADS WOULD LOOK GOOD.

HA, HA. DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT IT, JERRY.

YOU CAN SELL THIS THING FOR TEN BUCKS.

TEN BUCKS ? WELL, I WOULDN'T SELL NO...

SMEDLEY DICTO-RECORDO-GRAPH FOR A THOUSAND. TRY AND GET IT.

[Cackling ] HERE'S A LETTER FOR YA, GENE!

IF IT'S ANYTHING LIKE THE OTHERS I BEEN DELIVERIN', IT AIN'T GOOD NEWS.

YOU BETTER LISTEN TO THIS, FELLAS. IT MIGHT CONCERN ALL OF US.

IT'S FROM THE BROOKS LAND CORPORATION.

"DEAR MR. AUTRY, THIS IS TO INFORM YOU...

"THAT BEGINNING WITH THE EXPIRATION OF YOUR PRESENT LEASE,

RENTAL ON YOUR RANCH WILL BE INCREASED 50%."

- WHAT, AGAIN ? - "THIS DECISION OF THE BROOKS CORPORATION...

"IS FINAL, AND NOT SUBJECT TO CHANGE OR DISCUSSION.

SIGNED, BRADFORD COLLINS."

I'D LIKE TO GET MY HANDS ON THOSE GUYS. THEY CAN'T DO THAT!

- HAVE YOU DELIVERED VERY MANY OF THESE ? - YEP, AND MORE TO GO.

WHY, AN INCREASE LIKE THIS WOULD RUIN EVERY RANCH IN THE VALLEY.

UNLESS THEY DO A LITTLE RUININ' FIRST.

THEY'RE AWFUL MAD, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

I THINK I DO. WELL, THANKS, MIKE.

[ Engine Starting 1 DON'T MENTION IT.

BOYS, I GOT A LITTLE CHORE FOR YA.

SOON AS WE FINISH LOADIN' THE CATTLE, PHONE OR VISIT EVERY RANCHER IN THE VALLEY.

TELL THEM TO MEET ME FIRST THING IN THE MORNIN' AT BELLWEATHER'S LAW OFFICE.

[Beeping Horn]

- LOOK OUT ! - [ Horn Continues]

YOU FELLAS GET YOUR HORSES AND ROUND UP THE COWS AGAIN. I'll BE RIGHT BACK.

[Cows Mooing ]

[Tires Squealing ]

[Horn Beeping]

[Tire Blowing]

HELLO.

- YOU FORGOT SOMETHIN'. - DON'T YOU COME NEAR ME!

YOU FORGOT TO APOLOGIZE. I, APOLOGIZE TO YOU ? NEVER.

NEVER'S A LONG TIME.

YOU FORGOT SOMETHIN' ELSE TOO.

NOT INTERESTED.

OH ! OH, HELP ! HELP ! OH!

OHH ! THAT'S WHAT I MEANT: YOU FORGOT TO PUT ON YOUR BRAKE.

WELL, DON'T JUST STAND THERE. DO SOMETHING!

I KEEP THINKIN' ABOUT THOSE COWS OF MINE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE HILLS.

OH, ALL RIGHT. I APOLOGIZE.

I'M SORRY. DOES THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY ?

NOT EXACTLY, BUT IT'S A START.

BY THE WAY, SUNSHINE, I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME.

- MINE'S GENE AUTRY. - I'M SHELLY BROOKS.

BROOKS, HUH ?

HEY, ARE YOU ANY RELATION TO WALDO T. BROOKS, JR. ?

WELL, ONLY ON MY PARENTS' SIDE. HE'S MY BROTHER.

WHY ? WHY, HE'S RUININ' EVERY RANCHER IN THE VALLEY.

- RAISIN' OUR RENTS. - WELL, THAT'S HIS BUSINESS.

AND IF HE CAN'T MAKE IT, I CAN'T SPEND IT.

AND I LOVE TO SPEND MONEY.

BUT IT HAPPENS TO BE OUR MONEY THAT YOU LOVE TO SPEND.

AND WE DON'T LIKE IT.

[Laughing]

WHAT'S SO FUNNY ? I ALSO FORGOT TO PUT AIR IN THE SPARE TIRE.

[Chuckling ] NOW, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ?

JUST SIT DOWN AND WAIT. SOMEBODY'S BOUND TO COME ALONG SOMETIME.

WELL, WE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE A LITTLE ENTERTAINMENT.

,60,6O [Car Radio: Strings]

NICE TUNE.

,60,6O [Humming]

,6O DA-DA, DA, DA, DA, DA ,6O

,6O I FOUND MY LOVE ,6O

,6O WHEN YOU STOLE MY HEART ,6O

WELL, GO AHEAD. IT SOUNDS NICE.

,6O YOU STOLE MY HEART ,6O

,6O BUT IT WASN'T STEALIN' ,6O

,6O RIGHT FROM THE START ,6O

,6O IT BELONGED TO YOU ,6O

,6O I HAD SOME DREAMS ,6O

,6O BUT IT WASN'T DREAMING ,6O

,6O BECAUSE IT SEEMS ,6O

,6O THAT THEY'VE ALL COME TRUE ,6O

,6O I DON'T KNOW WHY ,6O

,6O I DON'T KNOW WHEN ,6O

,6O YOU WANDERED BY ,6O

,6O AND DARLIN', I KNEW THEN ,6O

,6O YOU STOLE MY HEART ,6O

,6O BUT IT WASN'T STEALIN' ,6O

,6O I FOUND MY LOVE ,6O

,6O WHEN YOU STOLE MY HEART ,6O,6O

WELL, THAT'S THAT.

NOTHIN' IN SIGHT. LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SETTLE DOWN FOR A LONG CONCERT.

[Laughs] IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME. I CAN TAKE IT.

OH, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT TODAY.

BUT MR. BELLWEATHER. THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FISHIN'!

ANYBODY BEEN MURDERED ? NO, BUT WE MIGHT ALL STARVE TO DEATH.

HERE, READ THIS. OKAY. BUT REMEMBER ONE THING.

THERE ISN'T ANYTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN FISHING.

SAY, YOU WANT TO BUY A SMEDLEY DICTO-RECORDO-GRAPH FOR A THOUSAND DOLLARS ?

A THOUSAND DOLLARS ? ISN'T THAT HIGH ? SURE IS. HOW 'BOUT 800 ?

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. STEP INTO MY OFFICE.

YEAH, THAT'S QUITE A DOCUMENT.

BROOKS, BROOKS-- OH ! OH, SPEAKING OF BROOKS,

DID YOU EVER READ WALTON'S "COMPLEAT ANGLER ?"

GREAT BOOK. DO YOU REALIZE THIS WILL RUIN EVERY RANCHER IN THE VALLEY ?

YOU KNOW, I CAN'T AGREE WITH WALTON ON THE BROWN HACKLE.

I LIKE A GINGER QUILL, TIED LIGHTLY.

HERE. BROOKS HAS NO RIGHT TO DOUBLE YOUR RENT. IT'S ILLEGAL.

LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, BROOKS IS RAISIN' OUR RENTS.

WE STOOD THE FIRST TWO, BUT WE CAN'T STAND ONE MORE OUNCE OF PRESSURE.

I DARESAY YOU CAN'T. I THINK YOU HAVE A CASE.

AND AS I WAS SAYING, YOU TAKE A GINGER QUILL ON A NUMBER 12 HOOK,

AND THERE ISN'T A TROUT THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI THAT CAN RESIST IT.

OH, AND TALKING ABOUT FLIES ! [ Chuckles ]

HERE'S ONE-- OH, SHUCKS, THADDEUS. WE'RE LOOKING FOR ADVICE.

WHAT BETTER ADVICE CAN I GIVE THAN THE RIGHT SIZE FLY FOR A BIG TROUT ?

BUT WE'RE NOT GOIN' FISHIN'. WELL, I AM.

- YOU MEAN, YOU WON'T REPRESENT US ? - OF COURSE I'll REPRESENT YOU.

READY, LESLIE ? READY IT IS, SIR.

LESLIE, WHAT'S THAT ? THAT'S A SMEDLEY DICTO-RECORDO-GRAPH.

- I JUST BOUGHT IT FOR TEN DOLLARS. - OOH ! MAKE A GOOD BAIT BOX.

YEAH. MM-HMM.

GENTLEMEN, THIS CASE SHALL BE NEXT ON THE AGENDA, IMMEDIATELY ON MY RETURN.

LOCK THE DOOR WHEN YOU LEAVE.

GOOD DAY.

THADDEUS AIN'T NEVER BEEN A GREAT ONE FOR DOIN' THINGS NOW.

ESPECIALLY WHEN NOW IS TROUT SEASON. A FIST SPEAKS LOUDER THAN A TROUT, ROD.

WE BEEN WASTIN' TIME. YEAH, I'M FOR DIRECT ACTION.

NOW, TAKE IT EASY, FELLOWS. LISTEN. GIVE BELLWEATHER A CHANCE.

HE'LL PROBABLY GO TO WORK ON IT THE FIRST THING IN THE MORNIN'.

SAY, GENE. DID YOU READ THAT SIGN ON THE DOOR ?

[Man] HE'S GONNA BE GONE FOR THE DURATION OF THE TROUT SEASON.

THAT SETTLES IT. I NEVER DID BELIEVE IN LETTIN' LAWYERS FIGHT MY BATTLES.

HOW DO YOU FELLAS FEEL ? WE'RE WITH YA, DAD.

LET'S GET GOIN'. STEP ASIDE, GENE.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE TRACKS TO THAT BROOKS OFFICE. NOW, LISTEN TO ME, FELLAS.

WHEN OLD MAN BROOKS WAS ALIVE AND YOU HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE, WHAT'D YOU DO ?

YOU'D GO TO HIM AND TALK IT OUT. BUT HE AIN'T ALIVE NOW.

NO, BUT HIS SON IS, AND FOR ALL WE KNOW, HE'S A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.

WHY DON'T YOU LET ME GO TO WALDO, JR. AND TALK TO HIM ?

MAYBE WE CAN SETTLE THIS THING PEACEFULLY. DO YOU KNOW JUNIOR ?

WELL, NO.

- BUT I KNOW HIS SISTER. - WELL, IF YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT ANY INFLUENCE--

IT'S UP TO YOU FELLAS. OH, WHAT'S A COUPLE MORE DAYS ?

YEAH, LET'S GIVE GENE A CHANCE.

THANKS, FELLAS. I'll LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS I HEAR SOMETHIN'.

ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

WELL, GOODNESS GRACIOUS. WHAT NEXT ?

GOOD AFTERNOON, MA'AM.

WE'D LIKE TO SEE MR. BROOKS. CAN'T SEE HIM. HE'S BUSY.

WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD. UH, PERHAPS I COULD SEE MISS BROOKS.

SHE'S-- WELL, SORT OF A FRIEND OF MINE. FRIEND ?

HMM. SHE'S NOT SATISFIED RISKING LIFE AND LIMB WITH WILD HORSES.

- NOW IT'S COWBOYS. - BUT WE'RE THE GENTLE KIND, MA'AM.

WELL, GO DOWN TO THE CORRAL. IT'S ONLY A QUARTER OF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT WE DIDN'T COME TO CALL ON THE HORSES.

LOOK HERE. SHE'S THERE, AND IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER, YOU'LL GO THERE.

THE DAY THAT COWBOYS START SCRATCHIN' UP MY POLISHED FLOORS,

I'M QUITTING, OR MY NAME ISN'T CORA DOWNEY.

NEXT STOP'S THE CORRAL, BOYS.

[Girl ] WHEE, GIT ! RIDE 'EM, COWBOY!

WHOOPEE ! RIDE 'EM, COWBOY!

WHEE, GIT ! RIDE 'EM, COWBOY!

OH. SEE THERE ? WHAT'D I TELL YOU, WISE GUYS ?

- WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO OUT THERE, KILL YOURSELF ? - I'M PRACTICING FOR MY RODEO.

YOU OWN A RODEO ? USE YOUR EYES, MEN.

THAT'S ME. I'VE GOT A REAL LAYOUT.

BUT ONLY, IT'S ALL MAKE-BELIEVE.

IF I ONLY HAD SOME REAL STARS--

WELL, MISS BROOKS, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT.

DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HIRE AND FIRE YOUR TALENT,

OR DOES YOUR BROTHER HAVE TO APPROVE ?

WELL, MY BROTHER MIGHT HAVE TO.

YOU MEAN, HE MIGHT HAVE TO SEE US FIRST ?

WELL, THAT IS, IF I THINK YOU'RE OKAY.

HOW ABOUT GMN' HER A SAMPLE, FELLAS ?

MISS BROOKS, YOU'RE ABOUT TO HIRE YOURSELF A HANDFUL OF TALENT.

HOT DIGGITY ! A DOGHOUSE!

A SQUEEZE BOX ! A GIT-FIDDLE!

WE'RE IN THE GROOVE ! ALL RIGHT, HIT IT, BOYS!

YOU'LL DO. COME ON. LET'S GO UP AND SEE JUNIOR.

HI, DOWNEY. I'M TAKIN' MY NEW CREW IN TO SEE JUNIOR.

I DON'T THINK YOUR BROTHER'S IN ANY MOOD FOR HIRING. HE'S IN AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.

CONFERENCES NEVER STOPPED ME BEFORE. COME ON.

THIS ONE WILL. YOU'LL WAIT.

SIT. SIT!

THANK YOU. DON'T MIND IF WE DO.

MISS BROOKS, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN GET US IN ?

IT'S A CINCH. AROUND HERE, WE GIRLS GIVE THE ORDERS.

IT SAVES JUNIOR FROM THINKING.

"AND THEREFORE, ACCORDING TO THE ABOVE STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES,

"THE BROOKS LAND CORPORATION SHOWS A DEFICIT...

OF $1,000,362.15."

WHAT'S THE 15 CENTS FOR ? BUBBLE GUM FOR MISS ROBIN.

YEAH-- OH, THAT-- KNOW WHAT ? I-- PLEASE!

NO WONDER I'M A WRECK. THAT KID SISTER OF MINE,

SHE'LL CHEW HER WAY RIGHT THROUGH THIS RANCH!

BUT THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE MILLION DOLLARS.

NO, THAT'S MY OTHER SISTER'S CONTRIBUTION.

OH, THEY'LL RUIN ME I BETWEEN 'EM, THEY'LL RUIN ME I RUIN ME. WHAT'S IT SAY HERE ?

CALM YOURSELF. TAKE IT EASY. REMEMBER YOUR CONDITION.

YES, I KNOW. YOU'RE A BUNDLE OF NERVES!

OH, YES, LOOK. LOOK. LOOK. YES. TWO. TWO BUNDLES!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR THE REST OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT ?

NO, IT'S TOO DEPRESSING. WHAT'LL WE DO ?

EITHER WE RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL OR THE LAND CORPORATION IS DEFUNCT.

IF THIS THING'S WORKING, I'M DEAD. OH!

HMM. NOT QUITE. JUST SUBNORMAL.

- WE'VE GOT TO RAISE MONEY! - I CAN'T EVEN RAISE A DECENT TEMPERATURE.

REMEMBER, YOU'VE HAD A FAIR OFFER TO SELL OUT. SELL ?

SELL THE PLACE ? OVER MY DEAD BODY!

UGH, WHAT HAVE I SAID ? OH, NO. NO, KIDS, I-I DON'T WANT TO DIE.

I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE ! MY WHOLE LIFE IS BEFORE ME, SEE ?

LIFE IS STRETCHED OUT BEFORE ME, AND LIFE CAN BE SO BEAUTIFUL.

YOU'D BETTER THINK IT OVER. AND REMEMBER THE STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT.

YES. IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT YOU ATTEND.

OH, NO. NO, I WON'T. NO, I-I CAN'T ! I'M A SICK MAN!

LOOK, I'VE GOT FOUR DOCTORS HERE.

MAYBE THAT'S WHY I'M IN SUCH TERRIBLE SHAPE. WHERE DOES THIS GO ?

NEVERTHELESS, WE'LL EXPECT YOU. IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.

IF ? OH, NO. IS IT THAT BAD ? COULD BE.

OH ! TELL ME, DOC. NERVOUS HYPERTENSION.

STATE OF COMPLETE PHYSICAL COLLAPSE...

BORDERING ON PSYCHOTRONIC BREAKDOWN.

OH ! UH, DOC ? IN PLAIN ENGLISH, YOU'RE A NERVOUS WRECK.

[Meaning]

YOU'RE NOT SO HOT YOURSELF. OH, WHAT'LL DO WE DO, WHAT'LL DO WE DO ?

RELAX. ESCAPE FROM YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.

DIVORCE YOURSELF FROM YOUR TROUBLES. DIVORCE ?

I'M NOT MARRIED TO THEM, YOU KNOW ? I INHERITED THEM.

OH, SISTERS ! VULTURES!

ESCAPE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. SHIFT YOUR CARES TO BROADER SHOULDERS.

YES, I DON'T KNOW ANY BROADER SHOULDERS. I'M A 32 MYSELF.

IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW OUR ADVICE, WE WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES.

COME, GENTLEMEN. WE MUSTN'T BE ALARMIST.

OH ! HI, DOC. OH. NO, DON'T LEAVE ME!

YOU GET ME IN SUCH A STATE. NOW YOU GO AWAY!

SEND ME NEW PRESCRIPTIONS. OH ! DO THINGS FOR ME!

[Muttering, Meaning]

COME ON, GANG. HE'S ALONE NOW. I'll GET YOU IN.

YOU 1

THE DEAL'S OFF, MEN ! EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!

YOU DROPPED THIS ? THANKS.

[Groans ] WHO ARE YOU ?

I'M ONE OF A GROUP OF CATTLE RANCHERS THAT'S BEING DRIVEN OUT OF BUSINESS BY YOUR FIRM.

- MY FIRM ? - YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT RENTS AND THE TROUBLE WE'RE HAVING ?

TROUBLE ? YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT TROUBLE ?

[ Laughs Sarcastically] WHY, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TROUBLE IS!

WERE YOU EVER DRIVEN TO A STATE OF NEAR PSYCHO-- NEU-- WHATEVER THE MAN SAID I HAD--

BY TWO EXTRAVAGANT SISTERS, BOTH FEMALE ?

[Coughs] WERE YOU ?

MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE YOUR SISTERS.

NOW, IF I WERE THEIR BROTHER, I'D CLAMP DOWN,

GIVE 'EM A REASONABLE ALLOWANCE AND MAKE 'EM STICK TO IT.

YEAH ? YOU'VE NEVER MET MY SISTERS.

OH, YES, I HAVE. BOTH OF 'EM.

AND YOU'D STILL TELL 'EM WHAT TO DO ? I CERTAINLY WOULD.

[Laughs ] YOU SAl--

MM. TURN AROUND, PLEASE.

BROADER THAN MINE! HUH ?

YOUR SHOULDERS. HEY, YOU'RE A SICK MAN. YOU BETTER SIT DOWN.

OH, YES, I AM. I-I DON'T FEEL WELL.

THE WHOLE DAY'S BEEN ONE THING AND THEN ANOTHER.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A BUSINESS THAT WAS LOSING A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR ?

I'D LOOK INTO IT, DEMAND AN ACCOUNTING AND FIND OUT WHERE MY MONEY WAS GOING.

DEMAND. CALL THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON THE CARPET AND HAVE A SHOWDOWN.

HAVE A SHOWDOWN, HUH ?

[Giggles]

'COURSE, IT'S ALWAYS EASY TO TELL THE OTHER FELLA HOW TO RUN HIS BUSINESS.

SHH ! "I WOULD HAVE THEIR--" WHAT'S YOUR NAME ?

GENE AUTRY. GENE AUTRY.

NOW, DON'T GET ME WRONG. I'M NOT TRYING TO TELL YOU HOW TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS.

WELL,

IT'S JUST THAT IF I WERE IN YOUR PLACE, I'D DO SOMETHIN' ABOUT IT.

MM-HMM. WHAT'S MY NAME ?

[Laughs] OH ! SEE, I KNOW MY OWN NAME!

PARDON ME. [Coughs, Blows]

,60,6O [Humming]

- IS THAT YOUR JALOPY OUT THERE ? - WHY, YES. WHY ?

LOOK, I'll SWAP YOU ALL MY CARS FOR IT.

THIS IS FOR YOU. I AM DIVORCING MYSELF.

WHAT IS THIS THING ? THAT'S A PRESCRIPTION THE DOCTOR ORDERED.

THIS GOES WITH IT, AND I'M SURE YOU CAN USE... THAT.

- HE WAS ALMOST MY JONAH. - YEAH, NOW, WE WERE SAYING ?

- UH, ABOUT THIS PAPER. - AH, YES, YES, YES

- IS IT LEGAL ? - ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 4.63, SECTION TWO OF THE CIVIL CODE,

IT IS UNTIL IT CAN BE PROVED THAT BROOKS IS CRAZY--

WHICH HE UNDOUBTEDLY IS. THAT'S ALL I WANT TO KNOW.

YEAH. AND IF YOU ASK ME, YOU'RE CRAZY TOO, FOR GETTIN' YOURSELF INTO THIS MESS.

NOT IF lT'LL HELP SOLVE THE RANCHERS' PROBLEM.

GOOD EVENING, GENTLEMEN. [All] GOOD EVENING.

OH, JUNIOR HASN'T ARRIVED YET ? NOT YET, BUT HE'LL BE HERE.

I'VE JUST BEEN EXPLAINING HOW WE'VE GOT HIM ON THE RUN.

WHEN HE SHOWS UP, HE'LL SELL OUT FOR A FEW CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.

[Laughter] [Door Opening]

GOOD EVENING, GENTLEMEN.

SORRY I'M LATE.

THIS IS THE PRESIDENT'S CHAIR, I SUPPOSE ?

WHAT DO YOU WANT ? TO SIT DOWN. I'VE BEEN IN THE SADDLE ALL DAY.

LOOK HERE, AUTRY. YOU CAN'T BREAK UP THIS MEETING.

I'M LIABLE TO DO JUST THAT, MR. COLLINS.

WELL, HE-- GENTLEMEN!

WHY, THIS IS INCREDIBLE I IT'S IMPOSSIBLE I

- IT'S FANTASTIC I - IT'S RIDICULOUS I - IT'S LEGAL.

LET'S GET ALONG WITH THE MEETING, GENTLEMEN.

MR. SCHOOLER, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

UH, WELL, AUTRY, UH--

AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN BAD SHAPE.

IT WAS MR. BROOKS' INTENTION TO SELL HIS INTEREST TO US TONIGHT.

ACTING IN JUNIOR'S BEHALF, YOU WILL NATURALLY FOLLOW HIS WISHES.

I HAVE ALREADY DRAWN UP A PAPER. YES.

[Schooler] ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SIGN.

MIND IF I ASK A QUESTION ?

[Schooler] CERTAINLY NOT, AUTRY.

IF THIS BUSINESS IS LOSIN' A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR, WHY DO ALL YOU FELLAS WANT IT ?

[Clears Throat] [Collins] WELL, UH--

ANY BUSINESS IS A GAMBLE. LOSING ONES MORE SO.

AND, UH... [Chuckles] WE'RE GAMBLERS.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT, COLLINS. I'M A GAMBLER TOO. DEAL ME IN.

VERY GOOD, MR. AUTRY. THERE'S JUST ONE MORE DETAIL.

IF THE CORPORATION IS TO REMAIN IN BUSINESS, WE'VE GOT TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL...

WITHIN 30 DAYS.

I THEREFORE MOVE THAT EACH OF US BE ASSESSED $50,000.

- SECOND THE MOTION. - [Collins] ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

[ Board, Together] AYE. [Collins] So CARRIED.

- HEY, WHAT GOES ON HERE ? - YOU'RE A GAMBLER.

IF YOU WANT TO STAY IN THE POT, THROW IN YOUR CHIPS.

WHERE AM I GOING TO GET $50,000 ?

[Collins] YOU HAVE EXACTLY 30 DAYS TO FIND OUT.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T PUT IN?

YOU AUTOMATICALLY FORFEIT THE INTEREST OF WALDO T. BROOKS, JR.

UNLESS, OF COURSE, IN THE MEANTIME, YOU DECIDE TO SELL OUT.

ALL RIGHT. DEAL ME IN.

[Collins] THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH US, MR. AUTRY.

ONLY REMEMBER, YOU HAVE 30 DAYS.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. THAT LOOKS LIKE A CRIMINAL CASE.

WE BOTH BETTER GO. OKAY.

[ Mutters ]

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY. THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT NOW, SON. YOU'LL SCUTTLE YOURSELF.

THOSE-THOSE FISH. ARE THEY THE EATING KIND ?

ARE THEY ? I'll SAY ! GOOD!

OH, NO. NOT NOW. YOU JUST COME WITH ME, AND--

AND I'll SHOW YOU A MEAL FIT FOR A BUSINESS TYCOON.

BUSINESS TYCOON ? OH, NO. NOT THAT.

JUST-JUST SHOW ME ONE FIT FOR A MAN.

IF I'M NOT BOASTING. OH, GRAB HIM. GRAB HIM. LET'S GET TO THE LODGE.

"HIAWATHA." A FOUR-YEAR-OLD JUMPER.

"PURPLE SAGE." A THREE-YEAR-OLD SADDLEBRED.

"RED JACKET--" WHOSE IDEA IS THIS ?

GENE AUTRY'S. HMM.

HEARD ANYTHING FROM JUNIOR ? A THREE-YEAR-OLD QUARTER HORSE.

KNOW WHERE HE IS ? SOMEWHERE, TAKING A REST.

WHO TOLD YOU ? GENE AUTRY.

AUTRY AGAIN, HUH ?

I DON'T MEAN TO ALARM YOU, SHELLY, BUT...

DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT AUTRY COULD BE THROWING A VERY FAST CURVE ?

A FOUR-YEAR-OLD STALLION. DO THAT ONE AGAIN.

WELL, I'M JUST THINKING OUT LOUD, UNDERSTAND.

BUT SUPPOSE-- JUST SUPPOSE--

AUTRY GOT JUNIOR OUT OF THE WAY FOR SAY, A MONTH--

HE SELLS YOUR HORSES, EVERYTHING YOU OWN, FOR CASH.

THEN, ONE DAY, HE'S GONE AND SO IS THE CASH.

[Sighs] I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT-- YOU BETTER THINK IT OVER.

"FAIR WINNER--" [Gavel Pounding]

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU FELLAS ANYTHING ABOUT THE BROOKS STRING.

YOU'RE ALL HORSE-MINDED.

I DO WANT TO WARN YOU THAT "BLUE BOY" IS NOT GOING TO BE SOLD FOR BARGAIN PRICES.

WHY, THAT'S THE BEST HORSE IN THE BROOKS STRING. THAT'S THE ONE FOR ME.

[Man ] YOU'LL HAVE TO BID HIGH TO GET HIM AWAY FROM ME.

[Gavel Pounding] [Gene] ALL RIGHT, WHAT AM I BID ?

YOU'D BETTER START WITH YOUR TOP OFFER. WAIT A MINUTE. PLEASE.

IF WE WERE SELLING COW PONIES, MR. AUTRY WOULD BE AN AUTHORITY.

BUT THESE ARE SHOW HORSES. AND HE'S OUT OF HIS CLASS.

I FEEL IT ONLY HONEST TO TELL YOU THAT "BLUE BOY" ISN'T THE HORSE HE USED TO BE.

[Chuckles] I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT NOW HE WON'T JUMP, AND HE WON'T RUN!

- HE'S A TROPHY WINNER, ISN'T HE? - WELL, HE WAS.

I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM IN ACTION. GO AHEAD.

JUMP HIM, MISS BROOKS. [Crowd Chattering ]

WELL, I'll TRY.

[Softly] BUT NOT VERY HARD.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, SUNSHINE, BUT I'll JUMP HIM FOR YOU.

THAT'S STILL MY HORSE, MR. AUTRY.

[Crowd Chattering ]

CALL THAT A HAS-BEEN, SHELLY ? THAT HORSE DOESN'T JUMP, IT FLIES!

[Robin ] GIDDYAP ! GIDDYAP ! GIT ! GIT!

GIDDYAP!

WHOA, WHOA ! WHOA. WHOA.

I ALWAYS KNEW YOU GUYS'D BE GOOD FOR SOMETHING.

I DON'T KNOW. I THINK I COULD DO BETTER WITH A COUPLE OF REAL MULES.

HOW'D WE COME OUT ? $28,832.

TWENTY-EIGHT GRAND. THAT AIN'T HAY.

YEAH, IT'S ALSO NOT $50,000.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GONNA GET THE REST.

WE'VE CUT DOWN EXPENSES. AUCTIONED OFF ALL THE HORSES.

SAY, YOU GOT ANY MORE OF THOSE ROMAN BATHTUBS ?

THREE, COUNTING ONE WITH A BROKEN WHEEL.

PEDDLING THOSE THINGS WON'T HELP MUCH, GENE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO PEDDLE THEM. WE'RE GOING TO PAINT 'EM.

PAINT 'EM FOR THE BROOKS INTERNATIONAL RODEO.

,60,6O [ Brass Band ]

[Ringing] HELLO ?

WHAT ? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

[Shouting] I CAN'T HEAR A THING YOU'RE SAYING ! LOUDER!

[Conductor] NO, NO, NO, NO, NO ! NOW I-- NOW I CAN HEAR YA.

FELLAS, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ALL BE PLAYING THE SAME THING.

ALL TOGETHER NOW, LET'S TAKE IT AT THE BEGINNING.

,60,6O [ Resumes] WHAT ?

LOUDER ! [Conductor] STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP.

OH, NOW I CAN HEAR YOU. BUT MAKE IT QUICK!

I SAID, "TOGETHER," MEANING, "ALL AT ONCE."

,60,6O [ Racket Continues]

[Shouting ] YOU SAY, IT'S COLD OUT ? COLD OUT ?

STOP IT. STOP IT ! ,6O,6O [Continues]

[Man On Phone] I DIDN'T GET THAT. DID YOU SAY YOU'RE WEAK AND IT'S COLD OUT ?

[Laughing] [Muttering Angrily]

OH, THE FIRST WEEK'S SOLD OUT ! THE FIRST WEEK'S SOLD OUT, GENE.

OH, THAT'S FINE. GOOD MORNING, SUNSHINE. [Hangs Up Phone]

SO, HE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO PUT ON A RODEO. YES, HE IS.

I WONDER WHY. TO RAISE THE REST OF THE MONEY HE NEEDS.

AND HE ACTUALLY INTENDS TO STAR ROBIN. AND USE THE BROOKS NAME.

AUTRY'S FORGOTTEN SOMETHING.

ROBIN'S A MINOR. AND ?

AND WHO'S HER CLOSEST RELATIVE ?

WELL, JUNIOR'S HER LEGAL GUARDIAN, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.

BUT HE'S NOT HERE. WHICH LEAVES YOU.

I THINK I CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS.

GO ON HOME AND RELAX. RELAX ?

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO RELAX IN A MADHOUSE ?

BELLS RINGING, BANDS PLAYING, PEOPLE SHOUTING!

I THOUGHT VAUDEVILLE WAS DEAD!

[Starting Engine]

I BEG YOUR PARDON I SORRY, MISTER, I GUESS I WASN'T LOOKIN' WHERE I WAS GOIN' I

WELL, FROM NOW ON, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

WELL, LIKE I SAID, MISTER. I'M SORRY.

HOLD IT, DIPPY.

- MR. COLLINS ! - YEAH ?

WHERE'S YOUR WALLET ? I DON'T UNDERSTAND. IT'S RIGHT--

GIVE IT TO HIM, DIPPY.

THIS IS YOUR THIRD OFFENSE, DIPPY. THE WARDEN'S GOING TO BE AWFULLY MAD AT YOU.

COME ON. HOLD IT, OFFICER.

I THINK YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE. I GAVE MR. DIPPY MY WALLET.

GAVE IT TO HIM ? AW, NOW, LISTEN, MR. COLLINS,

YOU CAN'T LET THESE CROOKS GET AWAY WITH-- THAT'S THE WAY IT IS, OFFICER.

I WISH I HAD-A STAYED IN THE ARMY.

WHAT'S THE GIMMICK, MISTER ? YOU KNOW I LIFTED-- OF COURSE.

BUT I THINK YOUR TALENTS MIGHT COME IN VERY HANDY.

WELL, NOW, THAT'S THE KIND OF TALK I LIKE TO HEAR!

UH-UH-UH!

HELLO. UH, WHERE'S AUTRY ?

AND THE CHILD. OH, OVER THERE!

TOGETHER, AS USUAL.

HURRY UP, BOYS. WE'LL BE ROLLIN' IN AN HOUR!

GEE WHIZ, GENE, THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING DAY I'VE-- AUTRY I

NOW, AUTRY, THIS IS MR. STIMPSON.

THE CHILD LABOR BOARD. KEEP TALKIN', GENTLEMEN.

I'VE COME TO INFORM YOU THAT, LACKING THE CONSENT...

OF A MINOR'S PARENTS OR THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY,

SAID MINOR CANNOT LEGALLY APPEAR IN ANY COMMERCIAL PUBLIC PERFORMANCE.

BOILED DOWN, IT MEANS ROBIN CAN'T GO WITH US WITHOUT SUNSHINE'S PERMISSION.

- WHICH SHE'S NOT GOING TO GIVE.- WHICH SHE'S NOT GOING TO GIVE.

JUST THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR THE NEWS, AUTRY. VERY THOUGHTFUL OF YOU.

WELL, ROBIN, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE GOT US.

GOT US GOOD. THAT'S ALL RIGHT, GENE.

I SUPPOSE THE SHOW'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, ANYHOW.

NICE WORK, SUNSHINE. YOU SHOULD FEEL MIGHTY PROUD OF YOURSELF.

HYAH!

GENE, LOOK!

GENE ! GENE!

GENE!

GENE!

HANG ON, ROBIN!

GENE SAYS YOU'D BETTER PUT A HALTER ON HER NEXT TIME.

WILL, UH, GENE BE ABLE TO OPEN THE SHOW ?

AS SOON AS HE COLLECTS THE PIECES. SO LONG.

BYE.

[ Door Closes]

SHELLY, DID YOU SEND THOSE MEN TO WRECK THE RODEO TO SPITE GENE ?

DO YOU THINK I'D TRY TO KILL MY OWN SISTER ?

NO, YOU'RE NOT THAT ORNERY.

[ Sighs 1 BUT I AM ORNERY.

AREN'T I ?

ROBIN--

ROBIN, DO YOU FEEL WELL ENOUGH TO RIDE IN THE SHOW ?

SURE, WHAT'S A LITTLE DROWNING ?

ALL RIGHT, THEN. I'll GET YOU THERE ON TIME.

DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO HELP ?

OF COURSE. GEE WHIZ, SHELLY.

THAT'LL SHOW GENE YOU'RE NOT A PAIN IN THE NECK.

AND AN ALL-AROUND DOPE.

[Sighs ] WELL, I'll SETTLE FOR NOT BEING A PAIN IN THE NECK.

THEN HE WON'T MIND IF YOU'RE A DOPE.

OH, BUT I DO, ROBIN. I MIND TERRIBLY.

BECAUSE HE'S-- WELL, HE'S-- HE'S--

AIN'T HE, THOUGH. AIN'T HE JUST SUPER!

,60,6O [ Brass Band ]

[Neighing]

PARDON ME. SORRY, MISTER.

HO, BOY. HO ! HO ! [ Neighing]

THAT'S A GOOD BOY. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU ?

ANY TROUBLE, MR. DIPPY ? AW, IT WAS A BREEZE.

THERE I WAS WAITIN' FOR THIS AUTRY GUY, SO I TALKED THE HORSE INTO GETTIN' CANTANKEROUS.

AUTRY RUNS IN, I FLINGS MYSELF AGAINST HIM, AND--

ALL RIGHT, WILLIE, WHERE'S THE PHONY ?

SHALL WE CALL IT A... SUBSTITUTE ? I'D FEEL EASIER.

IF lT'D PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE AND AUTRY ON ICE, CALL IT ANYTHING YOU WANT.

- THINK YOU CAN PUT THIS BACK ? - TAKE 'EM OUT, PUT 'EM BACK--

WHY DON'T YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND ?

GET GOING I I'll DO THE THINKING.

I'll SEE IF I CAN FIND SHELLY.

LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT RAIN A LITTLE.

WELL, HERE'S SUNSHINE, COMIN' RIGHT AT YOU.

WELL, I-- I'M ON MY WAY OUT FRONT.

TELL THE BOYS GOOD LUCK FOR ME, WILL YOU ? I'll TELL 'EM.

AND JUST SO YOU DON'T MISS ME, I'll BE THE BUCKAROO IN THE ROSEBUD SHIRT.

[Laughing 1 I'LL SPOT YOU.

I'll BE LOOKING FOR YOU, TOO, GENE.

[Sighs] I'M TERRIBLY ASHAMED ABOUT THE WAY I'VE BEHAVED. I--

WELL, I GUESS I'VE SAID THAT BEFORE, HAVEN'T I ?

CAN'T YOU THINK OF ANYTHING TO SAY ? PLENTY.

YOU'RE PRETTY DARN SWELL.

COME TO THINK ABOUT IT, I THINK YOU'RE SWELL AND DARN PRETTY.

GUESS I BETTER BE GETTIN' IN MY FANCY DUDS.

YOU BETTER GET OUT IN FRONT. OH, SAY, IT'S GETTING CHILLY.

COULD I BORROW YOUR COAT ? SURE.

[Chuckles] ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

GOOD LUCK. BYE.

OH ! OH, I'M SORRY.

MY FAULT, LADY.

OH, HELLO, SHELLY. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU. HELLO.

HOW ABOUT SITTING IN MY BOX ? WELL, I--

WAIT A MINUTE. YOU CAN'T DO THIS, SHERIFF.

WHO ARE YOU ? I'M THE MANAGER OF THIS RODEO.

AND WE CAN'T PUT ON A SHOW WITHOUT AUTRY.

THAT'S YOUR WORRY. MR. SCHOOLER HAS SWORN OUT A WARRANT, AND I'M PLACING AUTRY UNDER ARREST.

[Gene 1 WHAT'S THE CHARGE ? [Sheriff] FORGERY.

AND YOU CAN COUNT YOURSELF FORTUNATE THE CHARGE ISN'T MURDER.

THERE'S MORE IN THE DISAPPEARANCE OF WALDO BROOKS JR. THAN MEETS THE EYE.

MY CREDENTIALS ARE ALL IN ORDER, SHERIFF.

MY BROTHER GAVE GENE FULL POWER OF ATTORNEY.

AND HE WROTE IT ALL OUT ON A PAPER.

IT'S IN MY WALLET. LET'S HAVE IT, SUNSHINE.

OH, HERE IT IS.

THERE'LL BE NO TROUBLE IDENTIFYING THE SIGNATURE.

THIS ISN'T THE PAPER JUNIOR GAVE ME.

THIS IS OUT-AND-OUT FORGERY ! WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU'D BETTER HOLD IT, AUTRY. THAT'S AN ADMISSION CAN BE HELD AGAINST YOU.

COME ON.

I'll TAKE MY COAT IF YOU'RE THROUGH WITH IT NOW.

STILL IN THERE PUNCHIN', HUH, SUNSHINE ? GENE--

LET'S GO, SHERIFF.

,6O I WISH I HAD NEVER MET SUNSHINE ,6O

,6O AND SUNSHINE HAD NEVER MET ME ,6O

,6O SHE BORROWED MY CAR AND MY MONEY ,6O

,6O FOR A TRIP TO THE CITY TO SEE ,6O

,6O SHE VOWED SHE WOULD BE EVER-FAITHFUL ,6O

,6O BUT I FOUND SHE CHEATED ON ME ,6O

,6O NOW I WISH I HAD NEVER MET SUNSHINE ,6O

,6O AND SUNSHINE HAD NEVER MET ME ,6O

,6O I WISH I HAD NEVER MET SUNSHINE ,6O

,6O AND SUNSHINE HAD NEVER MET ME ,6O

,6O FOR 21 YEARS I'll REGRET IT ,6O

,6O 'CAUSE I'M IN THE JAILHOUSE YOU SEE ,6O

,6O NOW I'M DOIN' TIME IN THE JAILHOUSE ,6O

,6O WHILE SUNSHINE IS STILL FANCY-FREE ,6O

,6O I WISH I HAD NEVER MET SUNSHINE ,6O

,6O AND SUNSHINE HAD NEVER MET ME ,6O,6O

AWFUL SAD, BUT MIGHTY PRETTY.

YOU HAVE A VISITOR, SON. YOUR BEST FRIEND.

WHO IS IT ? JERRY ? BERT ? FRED ?

- A MAN'S BEST FRIEND IS HIS MOTHER.- MY MOTHER ?

SWEETEST OLD LADY I EVER SEEN.

YOU OUGHTA BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!

[Sheriff] COME IN, MRS. AUTRY.

[ In A Quivery Voice] AH ! THERE YOU BE, SON

A-FOLLOWIN' IN YOUR PAPPY'S FOOTSTEPS.

I BEG YOUR PARDON, MA'AM. AREN'T YOU MAKIN' A MISTAKE ?

T'AIN'T NO USE DISREMEMBERIN', GENE.

YOUR PAPPY SPENT MOST OF HIS LIFE IN JAIL.

UH, UP UNTIL HE WAS HANGED.

UH, HORSE-STEALIN'. LISTEN, MISTER.

I NEVER SAW THIS WOMAN BEFORE IN MY LIFE.

DENYIN' YOUR OWN MOTHER!

SHERIFF, I'D TAKE IT RIGHT KINDLY IF YOU'D LET ME IN TO SEE MY BOY.

OH, I-I KNOW HE AIN'T MUCH GOOD, BUT--

WELL, HE-- HE'S ALL I GOT.

OF COURSE, MRS. AUTRY.

I THANK YOU, SHERIFF.

I'M SORRY, MAW.

I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW I WAS IN HERE.

I BEEN A-FIXIN' TO KNIT YOU A SWEATER, SON.

LIKE THE ONE I MADE FOR YOUR UNCLE CLEM.

POOR UNCLE CLEM. THAT'D BE HIS PAPPY'S BROTHER.

POOR CLEM. HE FOUND THE WINTERTIME POWERFUL COLD AND DRAFTY.

I-IN THE STATE PENITENTIARY.

[Sighs] FIRST, CLEM. THEN MY HUSBAND.

REST HIS SOUL.

AND NOW MY-- MY LITTLE BABY!

YOU'RE A BRAVE WOMAN, MA'AM. A BRAVE WOMAN.

SPEAKIN' OF CLEM BRINGS TO MIND ABOUT THE TIME HE WAS A-JAILED...

UP IN CORONER'S COUNTY.

THE SHERIFF WAS A-FIXIN' TO HANG HIM ON A WEDNESDAY,

AND THIS WAS A TUESDAY.

A RIGHT KINDLY MAN THE SHERIFF USED TO BE.

USED TO HOLD ME YARN FOR ME, JUST LIKE YOU'RE A-DOIN' NOW.

AND I SORTA TWISTED IT AROUND, YOU KNOW-- TIGHT LIKE.

AND, UH, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, HE COULDN'T GET LOOSE!

HE COULD HAVE PULLED AWAY LIKE THIS. UH, BUT I...

TWISTED IT AROUND... LIKE THIS.

AND LIKE THIS. TIGHT LIKE.

THAT'D DO IT, ALL RIGHT. DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THE SHERIFF WAS THAT IGNORANT ?

AH, HE WAS POWERFUL STUPID.

WELL, THANK YA KINDLY, MISTER.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE ! WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' ? TIME'S A-WASTIN', SON.

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' ? YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE US. WE'VE GOT TO TAKE A POWDER.

HEY, YOU'RE RUNNIN' AWAY ! BREAKIN' JAIL! HELP! HELP!

LOOKS LIKE I WAS WRONG ABOUT YOU. THANKS.

DON'T MENTION IT. JAILBREAKS ARE MY SPECIALTY.

[Chuckling ]

- HEY, LAWYER BELLWEATHER ! - AUTRY !

JUNIOR!

YOU GO AWAY, NOW ! I'M HAPPILY DIVORCED FROM ALL MY TROUBLES.

GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!

- THAT'S A TALL ORDER. I WAS IN JAIL ! - SHH ! YOU'RE SCARIN' THE FISH.

- JAIL ? - YEAH.

YOU GOTTA COME BACK WITH ME AND PROVE YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!

[Laughs] NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE ME.

AS A FAVOR TO ME, WILL YOU COME BACK AND TELL THE SHERIFF ?

NOW, LOOK: NOT ON YOUR LIFE. NOW, YOU JUST GO AWAY.

COME ON, MEN. DO THINGS-- AHOY ON THE SHIP.

DO SOMETHING ON THE FO'CASTLE. THE FIVE CASTLE. GET GOING. SWAB THE DECKS!

OH ! OH, THERE'S MUTINY. THAT'S WHAT IT IS. IT'S MUTINY. NOW, YOU GO AWAY.

I'M GETTIN' OUT OF HERE. GO AWAY!

[Laughing]

OH ! HEY! No ! [Screams]

[Whooping Laughter]

MAN THE OARS, MEN!

I TELL YA, COLLINS AND SCHOOLER FRAMED ME TO COVER UP.

WELL, FROM WHAT YOU SAID, IT IS APPARENT YOU'VE BEEN THE VICTIM OF A FALSE ARREST.

NOW, WE HAVE A CASE ! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO BACK TO JAIL.

BACK TO JAIL ?

LOOK, I DON'T WANT A CASE. I JUST WANT PROOF.

PROOF THAT COLLINS AND SCHOOLER HAVE BEEN GIVING JUNIOR THE BUSINESS.

GIVE ME THE BUSINESS ? THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO GET PROOF, GENE ? YOU DON'T THINK THEY'LL DICTATE A CONFESSION, DO YOU ?

OH, I DON'T KNOW. I'M STYMIED.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!

AH, NO. WHY NOT ?

MY GOOD MAN, THOSE ALLEGED SCOUNDRELS ARE TOO SMART FOR THAT.

YEAH ? WELL, OLD JONAH WAS SMART, BUT YOU GOT HIM, DIDN'T YOU ?

THIS IS WHAT WE NEED. A BROWN HACKLE ?

NO, BAIT. TO GET COLLINS AND SCHOOLER UP HERE.

JUNIOR, YOU'RE "lT."

OH, NO-- OH, NO, GENE. YOU KIDS GO AHEAD AND PLAY. I HAVE TO WORK.

YOU'RE SICK. NO, I'M NOT SICK, GENE.

OH, YES YOU ARE. YOU'RE PRACTICALLY READY TO TURN UP YOUR TOES.

NO, I FEEL FINE! I'M NOT SICK. COME HERE.

I FEEL FINE! HEY, GENE-- HERE'S WHAT WE'LL DO.

SHELLY ! SHELLY, TEI__EGRAMS FOR YOU ! [ Panting ]

TELEGRAMS ? MAYBE THEY'RE FROM GENE!

[Sighs Deeply] SOMETHING WRONG SHELLY ?

OH, ROBIN.

"REGRET TO INFORM YOU YOUR BROTHER DYING AT MY LODGE, PARADISE LAKE.

"REPEATEDLY ASKED TO SEE YOU AND HIS CLOSE FRIENDS,

"MR. COLLINS AND MR. SCHOOLER.

SIGNED, THADDEUS BELLWEATHER."

[Sighing]

OH, LISTEN TO THIS: "OTHER TELEGRAM CONCERNING JUNIOR A COMPLETE LIE...

"DESIGNED ONLY TO BAIT COLLINS AND SCHOOLER INTO HURRYING HERE.

"SHOW IT TO THEM AND COME WITH THEM.

"JUNIOR ACTUALLY HEALTHIER THAN EVER.

SIGNED, ME AGAIN."

THEN JUNIOR'S ALL RIGHT. UH-HUH!

BUT WHO'S "ME AGAIN" ? ME. [Laughs] I MEAN, GENE.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S TRY IT AGAIN. ALL RIGHT.

NOW, REMEMBER, YOU'RE DEAD. YEAH. BUT LOOK, GENE.

I DON'T THINK I CAN BE VERY GOOD AT THIS. I'VE NEVER BEEN DEAD BEFORE.

COME ON ! [Muffled ] IT'S DARK IN HERE!

HERE SHE COMES NOW! TWO MEN WITH HER!

IT'S COLLINS AND SCHOOLER!

[Gene Over Microphone] THIS SHOULD Do THE TRICK.

ALL RIGHT, JUNIOR. THIS IS IT. YEAH.

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE. YEAH. I WANT A DRINK OF WATER.

CAN'T. YOU'RE DEAD.

KNOW YOUR LINES ? I HAVE ALWAYS FANCIED MYSELF AN AMATEUR THESPIAN OF SOME ABILITY.

GOOD ! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

HEY, THIS WAY! OH!

[Sneezing] [Shushing]

OH ! UH, MISS BROOKS--

UH, HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE, UH-- ONLY A FEW HOURS.

I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU MUST FEEL, MISS BROOKS.

UH, PERHAPS YOU WOULD PREFER TO WAIT OUTSIDE ?

UM, YES. THANK YOU.

UH, YOU ARE MR. COLLINS ? NO, I--

OH, MR. COLLINS AND MR. SCHOOLER.

THE, UH, DECEASED THOUGHT A LOT OF YOU-- BOTH OF YOU.

HIS LAST WORDS TOLD HOW FINE, HOW TRUSTWORTHY, HOW IMPORTANT YOU WERE TO HIM.

OH, YOU MUST HAVE DONE A LOT FOR HIM THROUGHOUT HIS BRIEF LIFETIME.

WELL, WE DIDN'T. WE DIDN'T DO SO MUCH.

OH, YOU'RE TOO MODEST, SIR.

FAR TOO MODEST.

AS YOU CAN SEE, HE PASSED AWAY WITHOUT AN UNKIND THOUGHT.

[Muttering ] WITHOUT A THOUGHT OF ANY KIND.

NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN, I SHALL TRY TO CONSOLE MISS BROOKS.

[Softly] WELL, COLLINS, WE SURE PUT IT OVER.

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN CONTROL OF THE BROOKS LAND CORPORATION AT LAST.

CORRECTION, SCHOOLER: I'M IN CONTROL. AND DON'T FORGET IT!

[Collins On Recorder] THIS IS BEEN MY IDEA FROM THE START.

EVEN WHEN THE OLD MAN WAS ALIVE, I BEGAN MAKING MY PLAN.

I KNEW WALDO WOULD BE A PUSHOVER ONCE HE WAS ON HIS OWN.

I HAD AS MUCH TO DO WITH RUINING JUNIOR AS YOU DID!

WHO JUGGLED THE FIGURES ? WHO FALSIFIED THE RECORDS ?

WHO GAVE THE ORDERS ? YOU'RE TAKING ORDERS FROM ME, AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT.

[Schooler] YOU CAN'T SCARE ME OUT OF MY SHARE, COLLINS.

AND I'M NOT LEAVING YOU WITH ALL THE GRAVY.

[Collins] GET WISE TO YOURSELF, SCHOOLER.

YOU KNOW YOU'D BE JUST AS HELPLESS-- ALL RIGHT.

QUIET, SHERIFF. SHH ! BUT I DON'T SEE WHY--

[Whispering 1 WHY no I HAVE TO BE QUIET TO ARREST A MAN ?

LISTEN ! [Collins] BUT REMEMBER: I'VE TAKEN A LOT OF CHANCES.

IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME, JUNIOR'D STILL BE ALIVE.

THAT RODEO WOULD HAVE BEEN A SUCCESS, AND AUTRY WOULD HAVE COME THROUGH.

- I DIDN'T DO ALL THAT FOR LOVE. -[ Sheriff] WHY, THAT SOUNDS--

ONE MORE PEEP OUT OF YOU, AND YOU'LL WISH YOU-- THAT SOUNDS LIKE COLLINS!

AND SCHOOLER'S HIS PARTNER. NOW, ARE YOU SATISFIED THEY'RE A COUPLE OF CROOKS ?

YOU GOT IT ALL ON THAT GADGET ? THAT'S RIGHT, SHERIFF.

WHAT ARE WE WAITIN' FOR ? COME ON.

[Collins] ONCE I TAKE OVER, I'll GIVE YOU A PIECE OF ALL THE DEALS WE PUT OVER.

WELL, WHAT Do YOU SAY ? ARE YOU WITH ME ? [Door Opening]

AUTRY I JUST IN TIME FOR ANOTHER STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST, COLLINS, AND YOU, TOO, SCHOOLER.

WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME!

OH-- OH!

BEFORE THIS PARTY GETS UNDERWAY, JUNIOR HAS A FEW WORDS TO SAY...

THAT I'M SURE YOU'LL BE MIGHTY GLAD TO HEAR.

[Applause Continues] [Clears Throat]

I FIND MYSELF TOTALLY UNPREPARED.

HOWEVER, I DID MAKE A FEW HURRIED NOTES.

SOMEWHERE HERE, YES. AND, UH-- WHICH REMINDS ME...

OF A STORY, WHICH, UH, I, UH--

[Chuckling ] WHAT MY BROTHER'S TRYING TO TELL YOU IS THAT...

FROM NOW ON, THE BROOKS LAND CORPORATION WILL BE RUN EFFICIENTLY.

AND THERE'LL BE AN HONEST ACCOUNTING.

WHAT ABOUT COLLINS AND SCHOOLER ? THE SHERIFF HAS COLLINS...

AND ALL OF HIS CONFEDERATES SAFELY IN JAIL.

I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE ANY MORE TROUBLE FROM THEM!

AND I'VE BEEN ASSURED THAT THERE'LL BE NO MORE RENT RAISES.

THAT'S RIGHT. ALL THE RANCHERS WILL RECEIVE AN IMMEDIATE NOTICE OF RENT REDUCTION.

HURRAH FOR JUNIOR! I, UH-- THE PLACE. I FOUND MY PLACE.

NOW, UH-- IT WAS A GREAT SPEECH, JUNIOR.

AM I FINISHED ? IN RECORD TIME.

OH ! AND NOW YOU CAN DICTATE THE LETTERS TO THE RANCHERS...

WHILE GENE AND THE BOYS GIVE us THE some THEY PROMISED. [Laughing] YEAH.
