There.

I think I got it right this time.

Does this suit you?

Please, Tottie, always knock

before entering a gentleman's boudoir.

Knock? On what... that blanket?

Well, the shirt is fine, thank you.

How you can calmly sit there taking a bath

when you know very well that Big Frank is on his way here,

and by now knows that debt was marked!

If I must die, Tottie, let me do it like a gentleman...

Bathed and properly attired.

Unless he shoots you right there in the tub.

Ha ha!

Where is he? Where's that duke,

or whatever he calls himself?

No, not duke, Sergeant.

That is my father's title. I am only a count.

All right, Count. You know who I am?

No, but you seem to know me.

I ought to. You cleaned out every man at the post last week.

But you ain't never got around to playin' a champeen.

Oh, that is you, I assume?

That's me... champ poker player of the whole outfit.

And I'm here to get our money back.

Now, are you gonna play or ain't you?

Well, now that you put it that way, yes.

See you tonight.

I'll see you tonight, and I'll see you all day.

I'm stickin' right with you, Count.

Well, in that case, hand me a towel, will you...

Like a good fellow?

Thank you.

Sure be nice, won't it, Major...

Seeing the town again?

Don't be flattering. It ain't much of a town.

But at least it's a town.

It's been so long, I won't know what to do.

You'll know what to do, all right.

You'll head for the nearest saloon.

Heh! There's only one of 'em there,

so don't try to drink it dry, will you?

I know that, but I'll sure give it a try.

Any sign of that place yet, Bill?

Nope, not yet. I only went out ahead a mile or two.

But it better be there.

I'm gettin' a little saddle-happy.

Hiya, Miss Julie, Miss Wharton.

Hello, Mr. Hawks.

Where is that town

everyone's talking about, young man?

We ain't more than an hour or two away from it.

What kind of place is it, do you know?

Sure, it's Dobie Flats, near Laramie.

It's a great big town, Miss Julie.

Must be at least 100 or 150 people.

Believe me, Tottie, it breaks my heart

to have to send you back to Frank,

but such are the fortunes of war.

I do not mind facing one pistol at a time,

but two pistols... that makes the odds a bit too steep.

Are you sure you're not just trying to get rid of me?

How can you say that?

You know how much I think of you.

I don't know.

I don't know whether it's me you're after

or just somebody to do your shirts.

Now, please, Tottie, you know me better than that.

You never gave me a chance.

We've only been together a week,

and you spent most of the time playing poker.

Do not complain...

If it were not for the cards,

we would not have had even this short time together.

Good-bye, Tottie.

My thoughts will always be with you.

Your thoughts will always be with me, starting when?!

I beg your pardon.

Charlie, I got an idea.

We could ride out of town a couple of miles in your rig,

and the driver could follow us.

Oh, much as I would like to, Tottie,

I, uh, I'm afraid I'm unavoidably detained in town.

He sure is.

He's detained until we play that game I come for.

Oh, parting is such sweet sorrow, my dear.

Please go now,

and let me seal this golden moment

in my memory.

All right! Go!

That's mighty fancy talk if ever I heard any.

Always treat a loose woman like a duchess, Sergeant.

Or vice-versa.

I have always found it most rewarding...

Especially with duchesses.

What can I do for you, ladies?

Would you show me some cologne, please?

Sorry, ma'am. Ain't got a drop in the place.

Oh, well, is there another store in town?

No. If you wanted whiskey,

I could give you ten kinds.

But cologne? Heh heh.

This isn't a cologne town.

Hmm.

My last bottle's broken.

Oh, don't fret, Julie.

No one around here worth smelling good for anyway.

Excuse me. I could not help overhearing.

If the young lady would like some cologne,

I would be very happy to present her with a bottle of my own.

Oh, I couldn't ask that.

CLERK: You couldn't go wrong, ma'am.

The honorable count here would have only the best.

Honorable count?

The courtesy title of the younger son of a duke.

Don Carlos Jesus Maria Ramon Diego Ribar Jacon de Fuentes, Grande of Spain.

My friends call me Charlie.

Well, I'm Molly Wharton.

And this is my niece Julie.

How do you do?

It's a pleasure to know you.

Oh, dear, imagine...

Finding a real live count way out here.

I admit I have traveled rather far

from the family estates,

but at the moment, I cannot say I am sorry.

My, my. If the men in San Francisco

could only talk like that.

You ladies are from San Francisco?

Well, I am. My niece Julie is from Baltimore.

She's coming out to live with us.

You are on the wagon train that came in this morning.

Yes. Yes.

The road was rather bumpy.

That's how I broke the bottle of cologne.

Heh heh.

Big doings for you wagon train folk tonight.

See this?

That's just real nice of you people.

Well, we don't see many strangers around here,

and we get kind of tired

lookin' at each other all the time.

Now for the cologne.

If you ladies will come with me, I will get it for you.

And, with your permission,

I would like to drive you back to your camp.

Is that all right, Aunt Molly?

Of course it's all right.

He's honorable, isn't he?

Howdy, Tex.

Wash 'em clean, gals. Wash 'em clean.

Hey, Bill. What are you doin'?

Gettin' all shaved up for that dance tonight?

Well, I ain't shavin' for you, Major.

Ohh!

Hey, Chuck, you're gonna have to wear a tag on your shirt.

I won't know you with all that dust off your face.

Well, maybe I won't even know myself.

But I figured I ought to get duded up a little bit for that shindig.

You know, I'd hate to be the scout on this train.

Poor old McCullough out there someplace,

and be dancin' around with Julie Wharton.

That'll be the day.

Hey, you reckon I might wrangle myself a dance with her?

Well, don't ask me. I'm not her chaperone.

You said yourself, you were supposed to keep an eye on her.

I promised her uncle that I'd give her a safe trip.

But that don't mean I have to be a wet nurse to her.

If you want to dance with Julie Wharton,

you ask her. Or else as her Aunt Molly.

Hey, Major, maybe you could put a word in with that aunt.

She really lights up when you're around.

Chuck...

Molly Wharton is a paying customer on this train,

and that's as far as it goes.

I'm with you, Major.

Runnin' a wagon train is a full-time job.

It don't give a man no time for monkey-shining around.

Heh.

All in all, though, she's a mighty handsome woman.

You know, Wooster,

maybe you'd better save me some of that hot water.

I might want to do a little cleanin' up myself.

Enough said.

A wonderful ride, Don Carlos.

And, oh, this carriage.

Why, my brother, with all his money,

doesn't have one quite as elegant as this.

Your brother? Yes.

Julie's uncle in San Francisco.

He went west when he was young.

In '49. Now he has more gold than he can count.

And he wants to spend all of it on Julie.

I cannot imagine a more attractive investment.

Careful.

Oh, Major Adams. Come here a minute.

I want you to meet our new friend,

Honorable Don Carlos, Major Adams.

Howdy.

Not the Major Adams? I've heard of you.

I've heard of you, too.

These ladies were good enough to let me bring them here.

He's taking Julie to the dance tonight.

We're all going, aren't we, Major?

Well, I hadn't really thought about...

It's quite all right. I've just accepted your invitation.

Ma'am, I hadn't even asked you yet...

No, I know. But you were going to.

Come along, Julie.

I'll see you tonight.

Thanks for the cologne.

And I'll see you right now for a minute, señor.

At your service, Major.

They tell me that this "Honorable"

that you've tacked on the front of your name

is detachable.

Meaning?

Meaning that you can take it off

any time it suits your convenience,

which is most of the time.

I am a gambler by profession, Major.

I, uh, suit my attitude to the fortunes of the game.

That's not quite the way I heard it.

I heard you were a cheapskate,

a card cheat, a thief...

And a bounder?

Yes, add that in, too, if you like.

And you are concerned because of my attentions to Miss Wharton.

Well, I promised her uncle

that I'd give her a safe trip out west.

So far, she's had it.

I don't think that her going to a dance with me

is going to change all that.

No, I'm gonna make sure it won't.

I'll be at the dance myself.

Good. I'll save a dance for you.

Thank you. If I was you,

I'd try to remember

that you shouldn't push your luck too far.

Don't worry, Major.

I never bet unless I think I have a sure thing.

I'm sure you don't.

JULIE: Don Carlos?

Did I remember to thank you for the cologne?

I'll remind you of that tonight.

Isn't it wonderful

to see folks having a good time?

Well, I can't say I'm particularly enjoying myself.

Why, Major, I'm insulted.

Oh, I didn't mean you, ma'am.

But aren't you a little bit worried about your friend Don Carlos

makin' eyes at Miss Julie?

Don't be such a killjoy, Major.

Let the child enjoy herself.

It's been so long since I've danced

with someone who doesn't step on your feet all the time.

Can't tell you how much I'm enjoying it.

Must you really leave in the morning?

The Major thinks it's best we keep moving

while the weather's good.

If I had any influence with the elements...

I would arrange a sudden tornado.

You keeping your word or ain't you?

Ladies first, Sergeant.

He's been waiting for you since the dance started.

If I'm keeping you from something...

Oh, not at all.

And he's not the only one.

There seem to be a few gentlemen waiting for you, too.

I have a strange feeling

they think they should be dancing with you.

This is a special evening, and I'd rather be with you.

Heh heh.

Now, that is something I can arrange.

They're gonna tire out someday.

I'm gonna have another drink.

Say, Sergeant. Yeah?

You see where they went? Who?

Miss Julie and that fancy friend of yours.

He ain't no friend of mine.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Bill, you'd better come with me.

Right.

Even the breeze is heading west, Julie.

San Francisco.

I wonder what it will be like.

Oh, you will love it.

Your uncle throwing gold at your feet,

young men throwing their hearts.

I don't want to talk about that.

I don't want to think about it.

Are you homesick for... Was it Baltimore?

Oh, I don't know.

I do miss the flowers...

The lilacs and the hollyhocks.

I guess I am homesick.

Hmm. There are times when I miss Spain, too.

I suppose we actually never really leave home,

wherever it was.

But I have learned to live for the moment, Julie...

for now.

I do not look back anymore.

It's much better this way, believe me.

Do you ever look ahead?

Oh, I never think of tomorrow.

Especially this tomorrow...

because you will be gone.

Don't say that.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

Julie, I shouldn't say this, either.

Something has come into my life,

something soft and warm like the breeze.

Something that envelops me

for a brief moment, and then is gone.

I don't know what's happened to me.

I...

I've always been so sure of myself.

I knew where I was going, what I wanted to do.

Now I don't know.

The breeze has stopped, Julie.

The breeze can do whatever it wants.

I wish I were that free.

Hey, come on! Wake up!

Hey!

That Spaniard's got a room in here, hasn't he?

Who? Oh, Don Charlie?

Yes, him. Yep.

You seen him around here lately?

There ain't been anybody here yet.

They're all up to the dance.

Where's his room? He ain't in.

You're lyin'! Wait a minute...

All right, Sergeant. That'll do.

Now, where's his room?

Up the stairs,

first door to the right.

Better go up and have a look, boys.

Say, you'd better look under the bed

and in the clothes closet, too.

Well, he ain't here... That's for certain.

Let's go.

MAN: Enjoying yourself, Major?

Well, where have you been?

We have been looking for you.

I can imagine.

Miss Julie, it's time for us to get back to camp.

Dawn comes mighty early these days.

Do we have to leave in the morning, Major?

I'm delivering you to San Francisco, young lady,

and the last I heard,

San Francisco isn't planning to move this way.

I would be very happy to drive Miss Wharton

and her aunt back to the camp.

I wouldn't think of putting you

to that much trouble, señor.

We leave now, ladies.

And I was hoping for a dance with you, señora.

If you ever get to San Francisco,

I'm going to hold you to that.

Ha ha! That alone would be worth the trip.

Good night, Miss Wharton.

Good night.

Good-bye, Don Carlos.

Not good-bye, Julie.

Just good night.

Good night and good-bye, Don Carlos.

You aren't forgetting our little game, are you?

If you are still anxious to get rid of your money, Sergeant,

I'm more than willing to oblige.

I assume you brought money, Sergeant.

Every man in the outfit's is in here.

Cut.

Any time you want to quit, Sergeant...

I ain't quittin'. Just had a run of bad luck, that's all.

But it'll change.

It will, I assure you.

It will get worse.

I'll bet 100.

I'll raise 100.

I'll see it...

and I'll raise you 100.

Well, I'm light 100.

I'll see what you have.

Beat a jack-high straight, mister.

They tell me a straight flush

has always been a very fine hand.

Oh, you won't need that anymore, huh?

Did I hear you say you were shy $100?

I don't have any. I'm clean.

Well, you'll need a little something to take you back to camp.

Uh... I must warn you.

There's a trick to it.

In return for this, I'll want a favor done.

Yeah? What's the favor?

If you gentlemen will excuse us...

this is a private matter.

Come along with me.

Where's Major Adams? I gotta see him.

What's all the excitement?

The Army declare war or something?

Where is he? I don't know.

He's around here someplace.

Now we're out on this trail,

and you'll have forgot all about him.

I thought at least he might've come out to say good-bye.

You know something, ladies?

We'll be a half a day on the trail

before a fella like him climbs out of bed.

Still, it would've been nice to see him again.

Major Adams? That's me.

I got bad news for you. Oh?

There's Indian trouble up ahead.

We've got orders to hold all wagons from going west

until we get an all-clear order.

How long is that gonna be?

Oh, two, three days. A week, maybe.

MAJOR: Oh, that's fine!

And I got a contract says I gotta deliver this train

to California before the end of summer.

Well, them Indians can't read contracts, Major.

Oh, you're very funny, Sergeant.

That'll do.

Indians, huh?

What's McCullough been doin' out there?

Oh, I don't know. He's always out there

when he's supposed to be here.

But he'd better know something about this when he gets back.

In the meantime, we should do like the Army says, huh?

That's right. We sit here

and twiddle our thumbs till we get the word.

Well, I'm glad somebody's happy about this.

Come on, Major.

Well, we're even now.

How did the Major take the bad news?

He didn't like it. But the wagon trains won't be movin'.

Good. Now, if you'll excuse me...

You goin' out to see the girl?

Not just yet.

First I have an engagement with the lilacs.

Hey!

Excellent shooting. Thanks.

I can use it in my line of work.

I am Don Carlos de Fuentes.

I'm Flint McCullough.

Oh, you're the scout for the wagon train.

It's a pleasure to know you.

Thank you. You, uh...

got yourself a mite scratched up here.

I will survive.

Uh, thank you for showing up at that exact moment.

I was on my way back to the train.

Sure didn't expect to run into any Indians out here.

I must say, I didn't myself.

Maybe I ought to ask what you're doing out here.

I'm picking lilacs. You're what?

Oh.

If you're going back to the wagon train,

perhaps you can do me a favor, eh?

There's a Miss Julie Wharton there.

Could you give her these for me, please?

I'd deliver them myself, but I really should get back to the hotel

and look after this wound.

Sure, I'll be glad to.

You think it is strange, eh?

If it were not for you, Mr. McCullough,

I would probably be pushing up daisies.

Heh!

Howdy, Major.

Hello, Flint.

You, uh...

been goin' without your hat again?

What do you mean?

Looks to me like the sun's been gettin' to you.

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

Well, I never thought I'd see the day

when you'd come bustin' into camp

with a handful of flowers.

These? These aren't mine, Major.

Well, don't tell me you were bringin' them to me.

No.

These are for, uh, Miss Julie Wharton.

I ran into a friend of hers about three miles west of here.

He was pickin' them for her.

Three miles...

Hey, did you say three miles west?

Yeah.

Who was out there?

Don Carlos de Fuentes.

Oh, that fake Spaniard.

Indian trouble all over the place,

and he's out pickin' flowers.

Unless you'd call four scared Indians "trouble",

there's none out there.

In case you hadn't heard about it,

the Army's got us tied down here.

We can't leave until they give us a clearance.

They tell me there's Indian trouble all over the place.

The Army might know more about it than I do, but I doubt it.

But I'll go out and see which one of us is right

just as soon as I give these to Miss Wharton.

All right? All right.

Hello, Miss Wharton. Is Miss Julie around?

Yes, she's in the wagon.

Julie! You've got a caller!

Oh, hello, Mr. McCullough.

Hello, Miss Julie.

I came to bring you these.

Don Carlos asked me to give them to you.

Oh, he remembered.

Lilacs.

Couldn't he have brought them to me himself?

No, he had to go back to the hotel

and get his hand bandaged. He's hurt?

Well, you see, there was these Indians,

and there was some shootin'...

Oh, he risked his life for me.

Well, I wouldn't say it was as bad as that.

Aunt Molly?

Aunt Molly, put these in water for me.

I'll be right back.

If I'd had known lilacs did that for a girl,

I'd have been out there pickin' them myself.

It was good of you to come, Julie.

And do not say that the flowers

were not worth all this pain and suffering.

I assure you, they were.

No.

Too seemly.

This is kind of you, Julie.

I knew the moment you came here to me,

the pain would go.

Hmm.

That's the one.

Come in.

This is kind of you, Julie.

I knew the moment you came here

that the pain would go.

What pain?

Who's Julie?! Tottie!

Yeah! Tottie!

Surprised, huh?

I thought you were back with Big Frank.

What happened?

Big Frank my foot.

Remember, we thought he was after us

with both guns loaded?

Well, he was after us, all right,

but he happened to run into a couple of well-healed freighters.

He's been playing poker with them ever since.

All week?

I hope he's winning.

Charlie, don't you see? Now's our chance.

Now we can really get a head start on them.

They're still at it. We can go wherever we please.

You can go, Tottie. I have made other commitments.

Oh.

Oh, you are expecting someone else.

This Julie... who is she?

No one you know, Tottie. She's with the wagon train.

She may be only here a few days.

You met her while I was gone,

while my back was turned!

Yes, and you can turn it again, Tottie, as you leave.

I want to tell you something, Honorable.

If Big Frank doesn't get around to killing you,

I just might do it myself!

Shh, shh.

Charlie!

Thank goodness. I thought you might be badly hurt.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude.

You're not intruding my dear.

Miss Wharton, Miss Crane.

Miss Crane was just leaving.

Uh, yes, I, um...

I heard about his big battle with the Indians

and I came to see if he was still alive.

It was kind of you. Fortunately for me, it was just a scratch.

Good day, Miss Crane.

Good day, Honorable.

I thought those Indians were supposed to be such good shots.

I know it isn't proper

to come into a man's room like this,

but when I heard you were hurt, I had to find out.

As you see, it was nothing.

But you went out there to pick the flowers for me.

You shouldn't have.

I consider picking flowers for a beautiful young lady

of the utmost importance.

Well, that was very sweet and brave of you. I thank you for them.

It was my pleasure.

Will you sit down?

Thank you.

Oh, uh... sherry?

No. No, thank you.

That Miss Crane...

Is she a close friend?

Uh...

let us say she's an acquaintance, Julie.

This is a big, wide-open country

with only a few people in it.

One gets to know everyone else very quickly.

Good.

Because I want to talk to you.

Ah?

Well, last night was very romantic...

Just the two of us under the stars.

I've thought a lot about it since.

Ah, I have, too, of course.

And then this morning when the news came

that we weren't leaving, I was very happy.

No happier than I.

Well, that made me think of going on to San Francisco

and what would be there when I got there.

Charlie, I don't want to go.

Let me stay here with you.

What...

What about your Aunt Molly

and your uncle in San Francisco?

They'd probably disown me.

I don't care.

I've found what I want.

I want to be your wife.

My wife?

Ohh.

Julie, I am flattered.

But you ought to know something about me.

I'm a man turned out by his own family.

I am worthless, no good.

You're the man I love.

That is wonderful for any man to hear, Julie.

But you're wrong.

You need time to think these things over.

I've had all the time I need.

But, please, Julie, take a little more.

For your own sake.

Shall we say... until tonight?

I'll be waiting at the camp.

I'll say it again...

They're all alike.

They sure are.

Who is?

Men are.

They are?

You just said they were!

Oh, then it must be so.

Come on, Tottie, let's have a little dance.

I don't feel like dancing.

I feel like punching somebody in the nose.

All right, then. Let's punch somebody in the nose.

Hey, shorty.

How would you like a punch right in the nose?

Oh, I didn't really want to punch anybody in the nose.

It's all her idea.

And it's still a good one.

Don't you ever forget

what I told you about men!

I don't remember what she said,

but if I ever did,

I'm sure I wouldn't forget it.

Sergeant, what about that clearance

you were telling me about?

Clearance?

Yeah. You told the major there was Indian trouble west of here.

Seems like you're the only one around that knows about it.

I don't know nothin' about any...

Oh, yeah. Plenty of trouble.

Listen here, boy.

Who's your commanding officer?

Captain Ripley, why?

Is that Captain John Ripley...

Kind of a tall, skinny, bald-headed fella?

Yeah, you know him?

I know him well enough to get you a court martial

for lying to me!

Oh, come on, Major! Have a heart!

Well, Sergeant, I'm listening.

I owed that Don Charlie some money,

so I paid him off...

with all them Indians that ain't out there.

Wooster, go on back to camp.

Pass the word, we pull out at dawn.

You stayin' for a while, Major?

Yeah, I'm gonna look up

that Honorable Don Charlie.

Don't blame him too much, Major.

It might've been love. It's June, remember?

Go on, get out of here!

Don't stop to pick any lilacs on the way, either!

Yes, sir!

TOTTIE: Honorable!

It's time for a showdown

between you and I.

Between you and me, Tottie.

But I can't right now. It'll have to wait till later.

I've been waiting till later too long!

Don Charlie.

I want to have a little talk with you.

I saw him first.

You can have him after I get through with him, miss,

if there's anything left of him.

Run along, Tottie, please. I'll see you later.

Later. That's all I ever get.

Miss Julie Wharton tell me

that she's not leaving with the train in the morning.

She also tells me she's gonna stay here,

and you and her are gonna get married.

There was some talk about that, yes.

Well, for your information,

when that train leaves at dawn tomorrow,

that girl's gonna be on it.

Ah, I take it you know about my Indians, eh?

I do, and I know about you.

And I know that nothing worse could happen

to girl like Julie Wharton.

What if I told you I was on my way out there now

to say exactly that to her?

I'd call you a liar.

Then I suggest you come along with me.

This better be on the level, mister,

'cause I'd like nothing better than to take you apart.

Which was is the Wharton wagon?

Right over there. I want to be there when you tell her.

Go ahead. Whoa.

He may be everything you say he is,

but I can't let you stay here in this wilderness

a marry a man you barely know.

Your Uncle John would think I was out of my mind,

and he'd be quite right.

I don't want to go on to San Francisco.

I want to stay where he is.

Charlie, I'll get my things.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Julie, don't get your things.

You're going on with the train in the morning.

Charlie, what I said this afternoon...

I thought about it. I still mean it.

I should not have let you say those things.

I'm sorry you made a fool of yourself.

Don't say that. I don't believe you.

I'm going back with you.

I'm afraid that might prove a bit embarrassing.

You see, I happen to be a married man.

You're married?

The girl you met today...

Miss Crane, Tottie.

You told me she was just a good friend.

We were married about a year ago, secretly.

Heh. We have our differences,

but, uh... we're married.

Aunt Molly?

I think you'd better leave us alone, young man.

TOTTIE: This time I'm talkin', and nobody's stoppin' me!

Before I tell him what I think of him,

I'm gonna tell you something, honey, only for your own good.

Tottie... I'll get to you next!

You heard a lot of fancy words from him, didn't you?

And you believed them, just like I did.

Tottie...

He'll give you a lot of beautiful promises.

But they're all gonna go up in the air,

just like balloons.

The Honorable Don Charlie!

Honey, don't you believe a word he tells you.

Nothing!

Not even that he's married to you?

Married?

You're not serious?

Honorable here just ain't the marrying kind.

You'll find that out if you stick around long enough.

Charlie, it isn't true?

I tried, Major.

Wait a minute.

He... He told you that he and I were married?

Well, if you're Tottie, he certainly did.

I'm sorry, Tottie.

I'll just bet you are.

And you're gonna be a lot sorrier

before I get through with you!

I promise you that!

Well, you see, Julie?

In addition to everything else,

I'm a liar.

Oh, Charlie. I know what you were trying to do.

You were going to save me from making a mistake.

Is that it? Not quite.

I did it to show you that I am not the one for you,

or for anyone.

What a lot of people have said about me is true.

I will not inflict it on you.

I don't care what they've said.

Everything's all right now.

You will come to San Francisco with us.

Now, lookie here, Miss Julie.

I'm runnin' this wagon train, and...

Major, you may be running the wagon train,

but you're not running my life.

Charlie, you will come with us.

I'll pack my things and be back in an hour.

Come in.

Honorable?

Tottie, this is a surprise.

You came to say good-bye.

I came for something else.

I came to say that you're not goin' anywhere.

Now, Tottie, let's talk this thing over.

Sure, we'll talk it over. Sit down, Charlie.

You got anything to say... Now's the time to say it.

From the looks of things, there's nothing much left to say.

You told that girl you couldn't marry her

'cause you were already married.

You told me the same thing once...

That you were already married.

Well, now you can tell everybody,

because you and I are gonna find a preacher!

Oh, Tottie, you certainly do not believe

in shotgun weddings.

I believe in weddings!

I don't care what kind. I'm just like any other girl.

Oh, I believe in them, too, but...

why me? What about Frank?

You've known him much longer.

He's not here... that's what about him. And you are.

I am here.

There's no denying that.

And you're stayin' here...

until we find a preacher in the morning.

Well, might as well make some use

of the time we got.

Deal.

Come to bed, Julie. It's late.

He said he'd be here in an hour.

That's nothing to worry about.

He's just showing how honest he is.

He told you he's a man you can't trust,

and now he's proving it.

Come on.

Big Frank!

Frank, you're a lifesaver!

Me? Heh.

I come here to kill you, Charlie.

I never like to hit a man when he's sittin' down.

That has never been a hobby of mine, either.

Frank, we have a lot to talk about.

I'll do my talkin' later.

Go stealin' my girl, will ya?

Aah! Frank, my hand!

I ought to hit you anyway!

I was afraid of that.

All right, what have you got to say?

I did not steal your girlfriend. She...

I won her fairly and squarely.

You cheated. Them cards of yours was marked.

Well, if they were, I apologize, Frank.

But no one can say that Carlos de Fuentes is a man

who will not give a friend a second chance.

We will play again.

All right.

Only this time, with my deck. Agreed.

Wait a minute! What's goin' on here?!

It's simple. If Frank wins, you go with him.

Well, I like that! Don't I have anything to say

about who I'm gonna marry?

Who said anything about marriage?

Let us say she suggested it...

in a way that no gentleman could possibly say no.

Well, then I guess I'm no gentleman.

Frank! Do you mean to tell me

that you wouldn't marry me if you had the chance?

Maybe I'm not good enough for you, huh?

Sure you are, honey. I never said you weren't.

It's just that, well, I... I...

I'm not the kind to get tied down. You know what I mean.

Frank, just for that, I'm gonna marry you.

Congratulations, Frank! And my best wishes!

Now, wait a minute! You said that we were gonna play for her.

Are you gonna welch on your word?

Well, I thought you wanted her back, Frank.

Under the circumstances,

it is only decent that I bow out.

Well, come on, come on! I don't have all day!

Which one's it gonna be?

Him! Him!

All right, all right, we'll play.

I'll go get a fresh deck.

You're not goin' anywhere.

And neither are you. I'm gonna get the cards.

The two of you just settle down,

'cause neither of you are goin' anywhere.

Well? Sit down!

Major?

Couldn't we wait just a few more minutes?

I know he'll be here.

Miss Julie, that honorable con of yours

has never been up early enough to see the dawn in his life...

unless he was sittin' in a poker game.

Did you see him, Mr. McCullough?

No, Miss Julie, I didn't exactly see him.

But I saw Tottie.

She was buying him a deck of cards.

He had a poker game going.

I'm ready whenever you are, Major.

Load up, everybody!

Let's get rolling!

Would you like to deal, Charlie?

No, I dealt last time, remember?

Deal. All right.

Cut it.

Five-card draw.

No cheating this time.

An honest game for an honest woman.

Uh, three cards, please.

All right.

Two for me.

Let's see what you have, Frank.

Aww, tough.

All I got's a pair of fours.

I'm afraid that beats deuces.

Come on, Frank.

Congratulations to you both.

Let me see your discards.

That would not be gentlemanly.

I said I'm no gentleman!

Come on, Frank. The game's over!

We got a date with a preacher!

You cheated again!

I told you I came here to kill you, Charlie,

and I meant it!

No!

Thank you, Tottie.

So, you're in on this, too?

Frank, so help me, I'd kill you

if we didn't have a date with a preacher.

I really don't know

what you're getting so indignant about, Frank.

You did a little cheating yourself.

Okay, Charlie. You got me beat.

But don't think you'll always get away with it.

One of these days, you're gonna meet your match.

Ha ha ha! Don't lose any sleep over it.

I already have.

Good luck, Tottie.

I'm leaving you my carriage to remember me by.

Good-bye, Honorable. Gee, I'll miss you.

Hey! None of that!

Maybe you forgot... It's me that won her.

You're so right, Frank.

IAdiós, amigos!

Bye!

Come on, dear.

Charlie!

I must warn you again, Julie...

I'm a liar, I'm a cheat, I'm a bounder.

I'm completely unreliable.

If you ever change, I'll never speak to you.

As you see, I was late this morning.

I might even be late for our wedding.

I can always wait...

for the Honorable Don Charlie.

MAJOR: Come on, come on!

We gotta get movin'! We haven't got all day!

Get in that wagon!

Hyah!

Ho!
