You mean to shoot down
unarmed men?
Just like they was rattlesnakes
if they cross this line.
In that case, Senator...
Get me a pair of wire cutters.
Ferguson.
So that's where you stand.
Think I'd rather be
on the side...
of the victims
than of the murderers.
Jesse, I'm warning you.
We're going to fire
on those coolies...
the moment you cut those wires.
Their blood will be
on your hands.
Jesse, I'm asking you
for the last time.
Column left. Ho!
Thank God.
Column left. Ho!
Right front into lines. Ho!
I once fought for that flag.
I'll not fire on it.
Sid, tell those men
to get back to their work.
Yes, sir.
Father, l...
Get out of my sight...
and stay away from Spanish Bit
as long as I live.
Whoa, General!
Hey! Whoa, boy!
Get me out of here!
Hey, get me out of here!
Get me out of this!
Unbuckle him!
Are you all right, father?
Leave me be, you Judas.
Here.
Fours left, column left.
Gallop. Ho!
Hiya.
Afternoon, Mr. Lewton.
Where the devil is everybody?
The place is deserted.
I don't rightly know...
exceptin' that
the Senator went riding.
The senator went riding?
You must be
going out of your mind.
No, sir. He went riding
with lots and lots of other men.
And I heard they're having
a kind of a meeting.
What kind of a meeting?
I don't rightly know,
but I said to Mrs. McCanles...
"Mrs. McCanles, where are
all those men going?"
And she said...
Never mind.
She did say...
"Vashti, go right on
about your business.
"Right on about your business."
I guess this means
good-bye for a while.
Now, don't you cry.
I'll be back before long...
and he'll get over it
when the railroad comes through.
I always knew you'd
have to leave someday...
but now that it's come,
I just can't bear it.
It's not as bad as all that.
I'll get a place in Austin.
You can come visit me.
If you're a good girl,
I might even take you...
on a little trip to New Orleans.
No. He'd never forgive me.
I'll never see you again. Never.
I know it.
He said he'd shoot you
if you ever step foot on...
One McCanles can be
just as tough as another.
Mrs. McCanles, come in here!
You better go to him now.
But you won't go yet awhile?
No. I'll just pack my things
and say good-bye to Pearl.
Are you there?
Jesse, go away, please.
What you scared of,
Pearl, honey?
Come on in.
Thanks for knocking.
I didn't used to think...
there was much to all those
fancy manners of yours...
but I guess I was wrong.
Jesse, I...
Forgive me for intruding, Pearl.
You, too, Lewt.
Good-bye, Pearl.
Wait a minute, please!
I didn't mean to...
It's all right.
I understand perfectly.
No, you don't.
- Where are you going?
- I'm going to Austin.
You gonna be gone long?
Quite long, I'm afraid.
It isn't because of...
No. Bless your heart.
I'm leaving by request...
the Senator's request.
Going away, Jesse?
Uh-huh. Your dream's come true.
I'm going away.
It's gonna seem
kind of lonely around here...
without the judge,
ain't it, Pearl?
Yes, it is.
Don't see how we'll know...
when we're doing right
and when we're doing wrong.
You surprise me.
First time I knew...
you were interested in ethics.
I'm sure you folks
will excuse me.
You must have a lot of things
you want to talk over.
The nights are long, oh, so long
It is going to be
lonesome without you.
I just don't know
how I can stand it.
You seem to be doing all right.
I'm sorry. That was mean of me.
I couldn't help it.
You just can't go away
believing...
I tried hard. Honest, I did.
I know.
Lewt's hard to resist.
No! I hate him!
I know what you're thinking.
I guess I'm just...
trash, like my ma.
You mustn't believe that.
It was Lewt's fault.
You needed some help.
I did. I needed you to help me.
I might as well say it.
I loved you.
Somehow you touched me.
You... love me?
I thought of what you'd be like
when you grew up a little.
I didn't know.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't think it would
be fair to tell you.
I was a fool.
I came to your room
to say good-bye...
to tell you that someday
I'd be back for you...
that I'd think about you
and that I'd write...
I'll write to you.
You will?
If you need me, I'll come back,
Senator or no Senator.
And you'll forget about...
about tonight, won't you?
You'll forget it?
No, I don't think I'll forget.
I don't think
I'll ever be able to.
I shouldn't have told you
the way I felt.
It wasn't fair.
There I go again,
trying to be fair.
Trash.
I hear you turned out to be...
a prize yellow dog
down at the fence line.
I should have done that
to you years ago.
Nights are long, oh, so long
On the prairie
Got to get me somebody to love
The dirty skunk!
All right, Jesse.
You said you'd never forget.
This the other one
you meant, Lewt?
You don't like this,
but you're gonna get it...
right over the head
if you don't settle down.
What's the matter?
You having trouble?
Back, you killer! Back!
Here, Ed.
Don't pick up that halter!
He'll charge you!
You're scared of him,
and he knows it.
Never run from him.
Stand your ground.
Come on, boy.
I got a nice leather
bonnet for you.
Easy, boy.
Be careful.
- He's just plumb crazy!
- Don't you worry none about him.
Look out! Watch his feet!
He's got his ear.
Ear him down!
Dig 'em deep.
That'll stop him.
You got him.
Nobody could
have done it but you.
That's all there is to it.
Just don't let him bluff you.
You see, there ain't nothing
to handling stallions.
It just takes
a little know-how.
You sure got nerve.
Get away, Ed.
You're the boss.
What?
You don't have to stay
around here anymore, do you?
Don't never have to do nothing.
I stay around here
because I like it.
Bet you I can hit
that ding-dong straight off.
Who cares?
What's up?
Nothing. Just practicing.
Can you shoot?
Sure. It's easy.
That's what you said
about bareback riding.
All right, I'll show you.
Better not try it.
You might hit Ken...
or the mare, more likely.
Sure is doggone hot.
Sure is.
You know what I'd like to do?
What?
I'd like to take a swim.
You mean it?
Sure, I mean it.
Let's go to the sump.
I don't mind if I do.
Am I your girl?
Of course you're my girl.
Then we can be married,
can't we?
I guess so.
No. If I'm not
good enough to marry...
I'm not good enough to kiss.
Come here, you bobtailed
little tree cat.
We're bespoken, ain't we?
It wouldn't do no harm
to tell folks, would it?
Sure, we'll tell them.
Can we tell them soon?
Can we tell them
Saturday at the barbecue?
Sure, we can. Why not?
What you got here?
Something the sinkiller gave me.
He said it would keep me...
sweet and clean
as the first milking.
I don't want no milkmaid.
Don't you get awful tired
eating just beef?
Wish we could get
an eighty-hour week.
Yeah. Me, too.
Kind of miss Jesse
around here. Don't you?
Jesse? Better not mention
his name on Spanish Bit.
Can't get over Lem Smoot
