JUST BY VISITING ME.

I'VE GOT TO GET AWAY FROM HERE.

I CAN'T STAND IT ANY LONGER.

YES, BUT WHERE ARE YOU GOING

TO GO, AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING

TO DO WHEN YOU GET THERE?

[ Sighs ]

DON'T GO EAST, MARY.

COME WITH ME.

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU

THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU...

AND THAT I'VE ALWAYS HOPED

SOMEDAY YOU'D MARRY ME.

[ Sighs ]

I KNOW, WILL.

BUT--

NO, NO.

DON'T FINISH IT.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE

GOING TO SAY.

YOU WERE GOING TO SAY,

"BUT I DON'T LOVE YOU, WILL. "

WEREN'T YOU?

YES, IT'S TRUE.

I DON'T LOVE YOU.

BUT I DO LIKE YOU.

I ALWAYS HAVE.

YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD FRIEND.

MARY, STOP PACKING A MINUTE.

COME HERE.

LOOK AT ME.

WILL YOU MARRY ME?

WILL, I'M THE DAUGHTER

OF A SCOTCHMAN.

I COULDN'T MARRY YOU

UNLESS I GAVE YOU

MY HONEST OPINION FIRST.

[ Chuckling ]

I THINK YOU'RE MAKING

A BAD BARGAIN.

I'VE GOT SCOTCH BLOOD TOO.

I WON'T BE THE LOSER.

DOES THAT MEAN:

YOUWILLMARRY ME?

YES, IF YOU WANT ME.

MAYBE I CAN TEACH YOU

TO LOVE ME.

TO LOVE HONOR AND OBEY

SO LONG AS YE BOTH SHALL LIVE?

I DO.

THEN I PRONOUNCE YOU

MAN AND WIFE.

WHERE CAN I FIND

THE MARSHAL?

WHAT'S UP?

BUSHRUP'S GUERRILLAS ARE

SACKIN' THOMASVILLE!

I'LL TAKE YA OVER!

FLETCH, YOU TAKE MARY

UP TO THE HOUSE?

WILL, WHAT IS IT?

I'VE GOT TO LEAVE.

THEY'RE NOT GUERRILLAS.

GOT TO LEAVE?

THEY'RE SOUTHERN TROOPS,

PART OF MY DETACHMENT.

BUT WHY DOYOUHAVE TO--

IF THEY'RE NOT WARNED THEY'LL

BE AMBUSHED AND WIPED OUT.

[ Fletch ]

I'M GOIN' WITH YOU.

I'LL GET THE HORSES.

WILL, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

MARY, I'VE GOT TO DO THIS,

AND I HAVEN'T TIME TO EXPLAIN,

BUT I'LL COME BACK TO YOU

SOON, DARLING.

[ Bell Tolling ]

[ Whinnies ]

DON'T FIRE TILL I SIGNAL.

WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU CAN'T SHOOT 'EM DOWN

IN COLD BLOOD.

THIS IS WAR, YOUNGSTER.

[ Gunshots ]

BOB. BOB, COME ON!

YAH!

YAH!

YOU SAY IT'S CANTRELL.

YOU'VE BEEN SAYIN' IT FOR WEEKS.

WHY, YOU HAD HALF THE TOWN

WASTING TIME SEARCHING,

AND STILL NOTHING'S BEEN DONE!

NOW, THIS KIND OF THING--

QUIT DEBATING, JUDGE,

AND GET TO THE POINT!

I'LL SAVE YA THE TROUBLE,

JUDGE.

YOU WANT A NEW MAN.

AND LISTENING TO YOUR SNIVELLIN'

LONG ENOUGH.

AGAINST MY WILL AS IT WAS,

TRYING TO DO:

THE DECENT THING AND

CARRY OUT MY END OF THE DEAL.

WELL, YOU'RE RELIEVIN' ME

OF THAT, AND THAT'S FINE.

MAYBE I OUGHT TO THANK YOU.

CANTRELL AND HIS GUERRILLAS

HAVE BEEN RAIDIN' NORTH,

SOUTH, EAST AND WEST,

BUT THEY AIN'T BEEN

AROUND LAWRENCE.

ANY OF YOU FUDDLEHEADS

EVER STOP TO FIGURE OU MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE...

THEY'RE AFRAID TO TANGLE

WITH YOURLATEMARSHAL?

I'VE HAD YOU

IN MY BARBER CHAIR

DAY AFTER DAY,

AND MANY'S THE TIME I'VE WANTED

TO SLIT YOUR FOOL THROA FROM EAR TO EAR.

I'M GLAD I DIDN'T NOW.

THAT'LL BE FOR CANTRELL

TO DO WHEN HE GETS HERE RIDIN'.

WELL, THE POINT'S

WELL TAKEN.

[ Scoffs ]

UNGRATEFUL PACK OF "HYENIES. "

FORGET IT, DOC.

HEY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON UP THERE?

THEY'RE GONNA RUN

CANTRELL'S WIFE OUTTA TOWN.

[ Crowd Shouting ]

WHY DON'T YOU ALL GO UPSTAIRS?

DON'T LISTEN TO THAT TRASH

OUT THERE.

WHAT ARE YOU:

STANDIN' THERE FOR?

DIDN'T CANTRELL KILL

YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES?

SHE'S NO BETTER THAN HIM!

GO ON!

RUN HER OUTTA TOWN!

CLEAR OUTTA HERE, ALL OF YA.

[ Man ]

HE AIN'T THE MARSHAL NO MORE!

THAT'S RIGHT, I AIN'T.

SO YOUR LAWS DON'T BOTHER ME

NO MORE.

THE NEXT ONE OF YOU POLECATS

THROWS ANYTHING IS GONNA GE A LAW BUSTED RIGHT IN HIS FACE.

NOW, GET OUT.

COME ON, GET OUT OF HERE.

BREAK IT UP.

GO ON. GET OUT OF HERE,

ALL OF YOU.

THANKS FOR TRYING TO HELP.

WELL, YOU CAN'T BLAME 'EM

TOO MUCH. A LOT OF 'EM

HAVE HAD KINFOLK KILLED.

YES, I KNOW. I--

I'M GOING.

WELL, WHERE?

MISSOURI, NEAR DORRANCE.

RELATIVES THERE?

YES. MY HUSBAND.

TO HIM?

YES.

MARY, YOU CAN'T.

YOU'RE BETTER OFF HERE.

HE'S MY HUSBAND.

MY PLACE IS WITH HIM.

OH, YOU KNOW WHAT HE IS.

YOU'VE HEARD THE STORIES.

I KNOW THE LIES THAT HAVE BEEN

PRINTED BECAUSE THIS IS KANSAS

AND HE'S FIGHTING FOR THE SOUTH.

THEY'RE NOT LIES.

THEY'RE THE TRUTH.

HE'S NOTHING BUT--

YOU WANT TO BELIEVE

THOSE LIES...

BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BELIEVE

THAT I MADE A MISTAKE.

IF YOU'RE OF THE SAME MIND

IN THE MORNING,

I'LL TAKE YOU TO HIM.

I'M LEAVING KANSAS MYSELF.

[ Sighs ]

HOW MUCH FURTHER IS I TO THE BORDER?

WE'LL CROSS I IN A COUPLE HOURS.

PLACE YOU'RE HEADIN' FOR

IS EIGHT OR NINE MILES

DOWN THE ROAD-- HILL COUNTRY.

THEY SAY IT'S LOVELY TOO.

DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVELY COUNTRY

REALLY IS TILL YOU'VE

SEEN TEXAS.

TEXAS.

IN THE SPRINGTIME.

THE RANGE IS COVERED

WITH LUPINE-- BRIGHT... BLUE,

BLUE AS YOUR EYES.

WELL, ALMOST AS BLUE.

[ Sighing ]

BOB, I THINK WE BETTER

GET GOING.

MARY, YOU REMEMBER

THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU,

WHEN YOU KEPT LOOKING AROUND

FOR MY KEEPER...

'CAUSE YOU THOUGHT I WAS

TOO CRAZY TO BE OUT BY MYSELF?

[ Laughing ]

YES.

WELL, YOU BETTER STAR LOOKIN' AROUND AGAIN,

'CAUSE I'M GOING TO SAY

SOMETHING CRAZIER THAN THAT.

I KNOW YOU'RE MARRIED TO HIM,

AND I GOT NO RIGHT TO SAY THIS,

BUT I STILL LOVE YOU.

OH, BOB.

YOU DON'T LOVE HIM.

YOU NEVER DID.

BOB, PLEASE.

I GOT A RANCH IN TEXAS.

I WANT TO DRIVE YOU DOWN THERE.

WILL YOU GO WITH ME?

WILL YOU?

BOB, I CAN'T.

PLEASE DON'T SAY ANY MORE.

HYAH!

THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU.

YES.

YOU SURE YOU WON' CHANGE YOUR MIND?

NO, BOB.

WHERE'LL YOU BE GOING?

TEXAS.

GOOD-BYE, MARY.

GOOD-BYE, BOB.

[ Laughing, Shouting ]

HEY, WILL!

THE BOYS ARE BRINGIN'

YOUR WIFE IN.

PICKED HER UP:

OUTSIDE OF CAMP.

???? [ Band Playing ]

[ Laughing, Whooping ]

MARY, DARLING.

IT'S... BEEN A LONG TIME,

HASN'T IT, WILL?

- MARY!

- FLETCH! OH, FLETCH,

IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

LISTEN, SIS, YOU TOOK

AN AWFUL CHANCE COMIN' ACROSS

THAT WATER TERRITORY ALONE.

BUT I DIDN'T COME ALONE.

BOB SETON BROUGHT ME

WITHIN A MILE FROM HERE.

- SETON?

- YES, HE WAS ABOUT THE LAS FRIEND I HAD IN LAWRENCE.

FLETCH, AS SOON AS YOU GE THOSE WAGONS ROLLING, COME

BACK AND HAVE DINNER WITH US.

COME ON, DEAR.

LIKE IT?

IT'S GOING TO BE

MY HEADQUARTERS, PERMANENTLY,

SO I WANTED TO HAVE IT...

JUST AS NICE:

AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU.

SURPRISED?

I'M AMAZED.

I EXPECTED TO FIND YOU

IN SOME SHACK, OR--

WAR HAS MADE A GREAT CHANGE

IN YOU, WILL.

IT TOOK:

A GRUBBING SCHOOLTEACHER...

AND MADE A MAJOR OUT OF HIM,

GAVE HIM ALL THIS.

WHERE DID IT ALL COME FROM?

I BET YOU USED TO ASK THA QUESTION WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE,

IN JUST THAT SAME TONE,

WHEN YOU FOUND ALL THE PRESENTS

UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

NO, NO.

I'M SERIOUS, WILL.

I WANT TO KNOW.

WELL, TECHNICALLY, THEY'RE

CALLED THE SPOILS OF WAR.

AND ALL THROUGH:

THE FIGHTING, DARLING,

UH,

THIS WILL PROVE:

THAT I WAS THINKING OF YOU.

TAKE IT.

OPEN IT UP. IT'S YOURS.

WILL, I WAN TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.

WELL?

I'VE HEARD A LO OF UGLY STORIES THAT YOU'RE--

WILL. WILL!

LOOK WHAT WE PICKED UP.

I HAD A TOUGH TIME SAVING HIM

FOR YA. THE BOYS WANTED

[ Mary ]
