Destry Rides Again Page #5

Your house?

That's Claggett's property,

and he ain't gonna sell

to nobody.

Maybe you better

take a look...

I ain't interested.

You mosey on outta here

before I start blastin'!

And I mean

every word of it.

Ouch!

There was a big bee

about that big right

on the back of your neck.

I got him, though.

Thanks.

Now look here...

Hold on, hold on.

Just a minute.

Mr. Kent, could I

see that paper?

You wait here while

I talk to Claggett.

What do you want

to see Claggett for?

Him's the man I want to put

off this... Who's the sheriff

around here?

I tell ya.

You ain't gonna do

this to us, mister.

We ain't givin' up

what we worked

ten years to get.

Ma'am, I'd sooner

hang that crowd out there

to the nearest tree...

than let 'em have

this ranch, but that paper

your husband signed...

gives 'em a legal right

to it. Don't it, Wash?

Sure, it does.

The way we're operatin' now.

But I told you what

that woman did to me.

The game was as crooked

as a hog's tail.

I don't doubt that,

but it's your word

against theirs.

That don't hold up

in court.

Why, they'd swear themselves

blue in the face agin' ya.

Afraid you folks are

over a barrel.

Fine goin's on,

when the law

takes the side of cheats.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sorry, ma'am,

but that's about all we can do

for you right now.

You folks stick around town.

We'll get this ranch

back for ya.

Yeah. That's just what

Keogh said,

but we're still a-losin'it.

- Keogh?

- Uh, he couldn't do

nothin' about it.

Everybody knows that

he left town sudden.

Yeah, I'll bet he did.

I'll bet he did.

There. Here's

a present for ya.

Wash, you, uh,

stay around here...

and see that these folks

get their stuff together.

What are you aimin' to do?

Get better acquainted

with the enemy.

Just don't stick your nose

into a keg of dynamite.

'Tain't dynamite.

It's poker and coffee...

that's preyin'

on my mind right now.

[Door Slams]

Ohh.

Well, what about it?

No trouble at all, Kent.

The place is yours.

They're packin' up now.

Well, thanks, Destry.

I can see you and me

are gonna get along fine.

Well, we gotta enforce

the law, don't we?

[Laughing]

We sure do. We sure do.

No two ways about it,

huh?

[Laughing]

And I thought he was dumb.

[Cows Mooing]

Hyah! Hyah!

There's a hole

in the bottom of the sea

There's a hole

in the bottom of the...

[Knock At Door]

Sea

There's a hole

there's a hole

There's a hole

there's a hole

There's a hole in the...

Well, shoot me for a duck.

If it ain't the water man!

Nothin' like havin'

a reputation.

Would ya tell Miss Frenchy

I'd appreciate seeing her...

on some official business?

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

You wait right there.

Miss Frenchy,

the water man's here...

on fishy business.

What are you

talking about?

Oh.

Now hold on, ma'am.

Don't start throwin'

anything.

I just come over here

to apologize.

Apologize for what?

For not knowin'

who's the real boss

of Bottleneck.

My coffee, Clara.

Don't let me interfere

with your dinner, ma'am.

It's breakfast.

Breakfast, huh?

Kinda late in the day

for breakfast, isn't it?

Mind if I, uh,

sorta sit down

and visit for a while?

Suit yourself.

Thank you.

Does he get some?

I don't mind if I do

join you in a cup.

That's what I was hopin' for...

a chance to get neighborly.

So you found out what's

good for yourself, huh?

I came here to do a certain job,

and I figured I'd better

start usin' a little

horse sense, you know?

'Course I coulda come

bargin' in here with

all sorts of remarks,

like, uh... couple of rumors

I just heard about you.

That you not only sing

down at that saloon,

but you also take part

in crooked poker games,

cheatin' folks

out of their ranches.

- Who said that?

- Oh, it's just a rumor,

of course, you know.

It ain't true.

Anybody with half

an eye could see...

that you wouldn't be party

to any action like that.

I'll take that.

I wouldn't want to have

this coffee spilt in my lap.

Just what are

you getting at?

Well, when you have hot coffee

spilt in your lap, you sorta...

get up quick

and turn your back and...

never know what's

gonna happen, do ya?

Now you get out!

Get out! Clara!

All right. All right.

I'm comin'!

Hold your fire.

Hold your fire. I'm goin'.

I've seen hundreds like you,

from Jacksonville

to Sacramento.

You all think easy pickin's

will last forever.

Mind your own business.

You're heading for trouble.

Trouble is my business.

You'll have plenty from me.

I do as I like, understand?

Anyone who gets in my way

is taken care of.

Like Keogh.

Yes, just like that.

That's what I thought.

What are you

going to do?

Don't get scared.

I'm not scared of anything.

You get out of town...

before it's too late for you.

I don't think you're half

as bad as you make out to be.

Never mind what I am.

No.

Now, I bet you got

kind of a lovely face

under all that paint there.

Why don't you

wipe it off someday

and have a good look.

Figure out how

you can live up to it.

[Clara] That's the

peculiarest-actin'man...

I ever did see.

But he's got personality.

Mmm. He sure has.

[Indistinct Chatter]

What's that thing?

It's one of the new

chamois skins.

Takes the shine

off your nose.

Land sakes!

What'll they...

Look, girls.

Look at that.

Chamois skins.

Takes the shine off

your nose, she says.

Look! Isn't that lovely?

You should've seen

the parasol that

came with it.

About the size of a pie.

Ohh! It must've

been darling.

Make the most of it today.

Everybody in town'll

copy it tomorrow.

Including your wildcat friend

across the street.

I'd like to make

a dress for her:

Half tar, half feathers.

You came out on the coach

with Mr. Destry.

What's your opinion of him?

I know a little about him.

Apparently very nice.

Certainly different from

the rest of the men you meet

out in this country.

I'll say he's different.

'Course I may be

a little prejudiced.

After all, it's kinda hard

to judge character...

through eight gallons

of water.

[Knocking]

Mrs. Callahan,

may I speak to you

just a moment, please?

Certainly, Mr. Loupgerou.

Come right in.

That is a little bit

impossible.

Would you please

come over here?

Uh, excuse me, girls.

Certainly.

What's the matter?

Prunes every day

for breakfast I don't mind.

Torn sheets

I've got used to.

But pants, I cannot swallow.

What are you

talkin' about?

Pants.

Mine are gone.

Oh.

Oh!

[Embarrassed Chuckling]

Don't go away!

Boris.

Ouch!

Take off them pants.

Ohh.

Listen here,

my little sugar plum,

y'all can't do this to me.

I'll "y'all" you,

you misfit cossack you.

Take off them pants.

Now listen, Lily Bellchka,

I can't keep goin' around

without pants.

You ain't goin' around.

Take off them pants.

Oh, how can I learn

to be a cowboy...

if you won't let me

go out and gamble?

Afine gambler you are.

You oughta be

ashamed of yourself,

losin' your pants.

Callahan...

may he rest in peace...
