I declare Miss Annie Oakley

winner of this contest!

Where's my money? Where's my money?

Nice work.

Thanks. It wasn't nothing.

It was easy as pie.

I'm sorry.

What are you sorry about?

You're just good, that's all.

You ain't mad at me, are you?

Why, of course not.

Anybody can miss a shot.

I can't.

Excuse me.

Here's your $5, Annie. I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Mr. Wilson.

Where you going now, Annie?

I don't know.

Back to Dark County, I guess.

He sure is pretty.

-Goodbye, Annie.

-Goodbye, Mr. Wilson.

-Good luck.

-Thanks.

You kids get on and get the supplies now.

Hurry on.

I tell you, my boy. She'd be a sensation.

They've never seen a girl

who could shoot like that.

What makes you think she's so great?

She couldn't do it again in a million years.

We haven't got a million years!

If business keeps like this,

we'll have to fold up.

Pawnee Bill's beating us everywhere.

-She'd be a novelty.

-I don't want any partners.

We'll make her your assistant.

Once in a while,

you'll let her take a potshot.

You could break her in. And you know...

...she's quite a pretty girl.

She's all right. Of course,

she looks terrible now...

...but we could dress her up.

She couldn't look worse than Dolly.

She wouldn't be willing to join us

just to hand me things.

-Yes, I would, Mr. Butler!

-Well, look at here.

I'd be willing to hand you anything,

just so I could be near you.

You ever been away from home before?

Do I got to leave home?

I think you'd find that quite fascinating.

We travel all over the country.

Certainly. Have you ever been

on a railroad train?

-You know anything about show business?

-Show business?

What's that?

What's show business?

"The cowboys, the wrestlers,

the tumblers, the clowns

"The roustabouts

that move the show at dawn

"The music, the spotlights,

the people, the towns

"Your baggage with the labels pasted on

"The sawdust, the horses and the smell

"The towel you've taken from the last hotel

"There's no business

Like show business

"Like no business I know

"Everything about it is appealing

"Everything the traffic will allow

"Nowhere could you have

that happy feeling

"When you are stealing that extra bow

"There's no people like show people

"They smile when they are low

"Yesterday they told you

you would not go far

"That night you opened and there you are

"Next day on your dressing room

they've hung a star

"Let's go on with the show

"The costumes, the scenery,

the makeup, the props

"The audience that lifts you

when you're down

"The headaches, the heartaches,

the backaches, the flops

"The sheriff who escorts you out of town

"The opening when

your heart beats like a drum

"The closing when

the customers won't come

"There's no business

Like show business

"If you tell me it's so

"Traveling through the country

is so thrilling

"Standing out in front on opening nights

"Smiling as you watch the benches filling

"And see a billing up there in lights

"There's no people like show people

"They smile when they are low

"Even with a turkey that you know will fold

"You may be stranded out in the cold

"Still you wouldn't change it

for a sack of gold

"Let's go on with the show

"Let's go on with the show"

Who gave you Indians permission

to use this car?

Annie Oke.

I might have known it.

Mrs. Little Horse, this is our car

and this is my section.

And I'll thank you

not to do your laundry in it.

Look at this place. It's a disgrace!

Sharp.

This is what I mean, Mr. Davenport.

Look at this car. The woodwork!

Hey, you Indians,

stop that cutting that thing up.

Look what they've done

to our curtains here!

-Looks like the Battle of Bull Run, don't it?

-They've done $100 worth of damage.

Who told you Indians

you could pitch a village in here?

I did. They're only sitting

till the smoke clears.

-What smoke?

-Back in their coach.

They was cooking a little supper

and they had a small fire.

A small fire!

All right, you Indians break up camp

and get back to your car. Hurry up. Go on.

Come on now. Get.

What gets into you?

I'm sorry, Charlie. I don't mean anything.

And I want to apologize for Little Jake

and the girls unhitching the caboose.

If they only hadn't done it on a hill.

I cut this out of the paper. It's about you.

About me? Thanks.

First call for supper.

That was a close call. Are you all right?

Yeah.

Come back. While they're eating,

we'll have our reading lesson.

Now?

Yes, now. Have you got your book?

Let's see, now.

What's that word?

Are you sure that's a word?

How can I learn you

if you don't do no homework?

You've got to learn me,

and you've got to learn me fast.

What would Frank think

if he knew I couldn't read?

I know what it is. It's "the."

Keep going.

The boy had a dog.

Go on.

The dog's name were, was....

What's that, Jake?

Sound it out.

Now that I did it, what is it?

Frank.

Frank. That's a pretty name.

The boy's name was...

...S-T-E-P-H-E-N.

What's that, Jake?

Joe.

That seems an awful lot for just Joe.

Reading's kind of funny sometimes.

Come on.

The dog was....

Bless you. Not catching cold, are you?

No, I'm just trying to learn Little Jake

his reading lesson.

I sure am thick-headed, ain't I, Annie?

You get along into the eating car

and have your supper.

Annie reads good. Show him, Annie.

Start here.

You get along now. Get. Get.

Charlie gave me this newspaper clipping.

Would you like to read it?

No, you read it to me.

You read it. I want to hear

how it sounds when you speak it.

"Butler's assistant,

whose name isn't on the program...

"...performed only one trick, but

she promises to become a fine marksman."

That's nice of that paper man.

People are beginning to notice you, Annie.

I told Charlie to put you on the billboard.

-You did?

-Yes.

I got a real fancy trick I've been practicing

to surprise you with.

What is it?

I can't tell you. It's a surprise.

That's fine. I like you to be ambitious.

I want you to improve.

But it'll take some time.

All I want to be is a pink and white lady

like the kind you said you liked.

You're getting pinker and whiter every day.

That ain't pig-wash, is it?

What would you say

if someday I make you my partner?

Oh, Frank!

Butler and Oakley.

I never thought I'd ask a girl

to be my partner.

Oakley and Butler.

Butler and Oakley.

What's the difference?

You've got to do it in alphabetical order.

You know, there's gonna be
