I can't imagine why you'd
want to buck a proposition
as uncertain as you may
find in the wheat country.
Wha... what's
uncertain about it?
You don't think nobody's gonna
let you walk into Fargo
and jump any claims,
do ya, ma'am?
Bigtree means, you might
have a little trouble
getting hold of a decent
piece of land--
Good acreage is scarce.
Tryin' to tell us that
they don't take kindly to
strangers in Fargo, Mr. Bender?
I don't imagine they'd
welcome strangers
who come to farm, uh, without
implements, Mr. Devlin.
Whoa!
Everybody out...
We done it again!
Fort Abercrombie, folk.
Mr. Bender?
I'm Bender.
Compliments of
colonel Worden, sir.
He'd like you to ride over to
the fort when you're rested.
Well, I was gonna sail
on the Sioux Princess.
Have you got any idea what
he wants to see me about?
There's been some
killings at Fargo.
most of the Bonanza farmers.
- Indians?
- Well, according to Mr. Stowe,
it was made to look like the
Sioux were mixed up in it,
but he doesn't believe it.
Stowe wasn't burned out, was he?
Yes, sir.
It seems only the little fellas
are left now, the homesteaders.
Mr. Stowe's at
the fort now.
He and colonel Worden have been
waiting for you to get back.
For me?
I think Mr. Stowe has
some idea of organizing
a law enforcement
agency at Fargo.
Oh... well, you tell 'em I'll
wash up and be over after supper.
Well, the Sioux Princess
sails at six, sir.
Well, I'll arrange to miss that
and go with captain
Bounce on the river bird.
My compliments to
colonel Worden.
There ya are, Devlin,
that's Fargo for ya.
What's Fargo? Didn't you hear
what the lieutenant said?
Mentioned a colonel
somebody or other,
fort... somethin'
goin' on?
No, nothin' much, nothing
very interesting.
Bigtree, get our bags out of
the Sioux Princess, will ya?
I'll see you and the Mrs.
Down at the boat, huh?
Yeah, sure.
That, uh, Fargo boat,
Sioux Princess?
That's one of 'em.
T'other's the river bird,
that's ol' cap'n Bounce's tub.
She's a huff er and a puffer.
But if I was a makin' the trip,
- she's the one I'd take.
- Better boat?
Nope, but if ya sail
on the river bird,
you'd have it practically
to yourself,
and if the moon happens to
be ridin' along with ya,
and you're travelin' with
live baggage, wow!
Come on now, you slab-sided
puddle snipe.
Kick her off from back there!
Come on, now.
Now just ease yourself ta port,
ya sweet little lovin' lamb.
Swing it ta port, ya ol'
wing-tailed mudhen!
There now.
Now just sneak up on
that there landin'.
Now if that flat-footed swipe ain't
fell overboard or somethin'...
Blast ya, Nicodemus,
where ya at!!
Nicodemus, if you're sleepin',
I'll knock ya out from the
back o' your teeth, by juppy!!
Oh, back line, ya pretty
little river swan.
Shake your hips.
Shake your hips ya potbellied...
I'll tiptoe up to that
Abercrombie levee.
Nicodemus!!!
Nicodemus, if'n you're
still aboard,
you better start
runnin' up river!!
Yes, sir... coming, cap'n.
Hurry, hurry, hurry
all the time.
Wow!!
Comin' cap'n...
Nicodemus'll get it goin'!
We'll show them Abercrombie
folks how it's done,
ya pussyfootin' little moonbeam.
Hey, on shore there, somebody!
Hop aboard and throw off'n rope!
I done lost my Bosun!
What the...
Shut off them engines!
Cap'n! Cap'n Bounce, the
bell is busted!
It won't stop ringin'! Just
keep ringin' and ringin!
It's ringin' because
I was ringing it!!
Like I'm gonna ring
that neck of yours
if you don't obey orders!!
Did you want some'in, cap'n?
What do ya think them
lights is back there?!
Oh, uh.
You mean them lights way
back there in the dark?
That, you river happy
jaybird, is Abercrombie!
If you ever get me to eat
saddle of venison again,
you're going to have
to unsaddle it first.
Contrary animal, the deer,
gentle on the hoof,
tough on the plate.
Sailin' north to Fargo,
Grand Forks and Pembina!
All passengers for
the river bird,
castin' off in 20
minutes... all aboard!
River bird, mister? Nicodemus! My
Bosun'll take care of your baggage.
Pembina?
Fargo.
How 'bout you, lady?
Oh, we're married.
Well, now!
Sure good to meet
nice, clean folks.
I'm gonna puts it in my log...
I'm captain Bounce.
Nicodemus, take the folks'
baggage, and get it down there
afore we shove off, or by juppy,
off comes your bosun's ratin'
and back ta wipin' ya go!
Well, cap'n, I ain't
never stop wipin'.
I just wipes, 'n... Does
you wanna wipe as a bosun
or a low-down seaman?
Man never knows when
he's well off, he don't.
What do we owe ya?
Well, uh...
Uh, two fares ta Fargo,
that's seven dollars...
Each, and, uh, the staterooms
'll be, uh, two dollars,
for one, and then there's, uh...
The meals are extra, a
dollar each for meals.
What do we owe ya all together?
Well, let's see, that's, uh...
Seven and seven and two and two,
and two times three that's, uh,
thirty-four dollars...
I mean, thirty seven!
Wouldn't take 24, would ya?
Is we gonna argue over a coupla pennies?
Road folks, ain't we?
Glad to have seen you
again, Mr. Stowe.
Thank you, colonel.
I wish you could've talked
to Bender in my presence.
Well, we'll try to arrange
a little parley later.
I'm terribly shorthanded and
have plenty to handle down here,
but if you need us badly, I'll
try to get a company up to ya.
- Good-bye, Mr. Stowe, and pleasant trip.
- Thank you, colonel.
Good night.
Good night.
You better get aboard
and claim your stateroom.
It's number one... The
one with the door on it!
Mr. Stowe,
I'm glad ta see ya.
Here we go.
Calm yourself, Sandy.
Nothing's gonna happen to us.
We won't turn up the
well-known toes
until ol' man time
catches up with us.
It didn't take old man time
long to catch up with us.
Ooh, you're hurt!
A little.
Please...
Tell Mrs. Stowe...
Not to sell to Bender.
John, do you think there'll
be any more trouble?
- No.
- Why wouldn't Mr. Stowe
want his wife to sell to Bender?
That's the question.
This is the boiler room.
Mr. Bender sailed on
the Sioux Princess,
so he couldn't have
done any shooting.
This must be it... It's the
only one with a door on it.
Lookin' for me, folks?
I think this is our
stateroom, Collins.
Only, uh, what counts
around these parts is...
Who gets there first.
Let's take the other room, John.
I think Collins wants
us to have this room.
Well, I guess a man
traveling with his wife
should have a room
with a door on it.
Didn't hurt your gun
hand, did ya, Devlin?
I can still...
Write with it.
A man's got ta watch hisself.
An accident like that could
put him out of business, huh?
See ya.
Look out now, you sweet
little hunk a misery.
Look out... she's right
up ahead there.
Port ta helm, Nicodemus!
Comin', cap'n.
Now here she comes... Look out now.
Look... drop.
Drop, you sneakin' cousin
of a sneakin' catfish!
Pop your innards!
Bust is coming!!
Get over there!!
