Arizona Page #10

if you'll only ask for help.

Phoebe, ain't you the one that said

you got a man to stand up for you?

I'm sorry, I forgot.

Let's go.

I started this trouble for you...

started it by talking

like a darned old woman.

Straighten up.

You're supposed to be the man around here.

Not anymore.

You ain't worried, honey.

That's better.

Thanks, Jos.

Sure is a sight.

Let's make sure we come back to it together.

Well, you got to admit it's worth fighting for.

Here they come.

Change the music, come on.

Fellow citizens!

This is the most important event...

in the history of the Arizona territory.

The wedding

of the first American woman here...

marking as it does

the westward strides of civilization...

practically moves us up

into the class of a metropolis.

What's happening now?

The wedding's started.

Keep going.

Peter Muncie...

do you take this woman

to be your lawful wedded wife...

protecting her like a man should...

standing by her in sickness and in health

as long as you both shall live?

I do.

Phoebe Titus...

do you take this man

to be your lawful wedded husband...

promising to stick by him,

no matter how bad things get...

as long as you both shall live?

I do.

Who gives this woman

to be married to this man?

I do.

You got the ring, ain't you, Bart?

Such being the case,

I hereupon order Peter Muncie...

to place the symbol...

of eternal faithfulness...

upon the fair hand of his beloved choice...

and repeat after me.

With this ring, I thee wed...

With this ring, I thee wed...

...with my soul, I thee worship...

...with my soul I thee worship...

...and with all my worldly goods

I thee endow.

...and with all my worldly goods

I thee endow.

In consequence of which declaration...

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Congratulations.

It's over.

They're married.

Poor Phoebe...

a bride for five minutes.

Get out.

Well, I suppose you're pretty anxious

to get going.

Yes, as soon as we're settled...

Warner, would you mind

opening your store...

for my wife

and letting her wait there for me?

If you want.

Peter, I...

See you later, honey.

You better stay where you are.

Let's go, Sol.

Ladies and gentlemen...

this is a day of festivities. Enjoy yourselves.

Music, my good men. Music.

There's some...

things I need for the ranch.

I'll order them while I'm here.

- Phoebe, don't you think you...

- Please, write down what I order.

100 pound sack of flour...

four of Pete Kitchen's hams...

and...

50 pounds...

50 pounds of sugar...

best grade you got.

Phoebe...

hadn't you ought to prepare yourself,

just in case?

My husband told me he'd meet me here.

Did you put down the sugar?

I'm ready, Phoebe.

Sol, send those things out the house

as soon as you can, will you?

They'll be there today, Phoebe.

- Thanks for the wedding party, fellas.

- Yeah, thanks.

I'll fix that hand up when we get home.

What a woman...

nothing but iron from topknot to gizzard.

And that's no jackrabbit with her.

Well, I'd say

this territory's got quite a future.

Yes, sir, quite a future.

Jos.

- Well, we're back.

- Yeah.

Doggone it, Peter...

if this is what it's like to be in love,

I'm glad I'm only going to love but once.
