I'm just relaxing.

Hey, honey, when I

make love, do I make love?

What? Are you asking me

or telling me?

Say you love me, baby.

Why should I?

What excuse has

a gal like you for

running around single?

I was born that way.

You know, I'd like to take

you away from all this.

All this?

Oh, I get ya.

Yeah, for a long time I was

ashamed of the way I lived.

You mean to say

you reformed?

No, I got over being ashamed.

Okay, what are you trying to do?

Flag a train?

Cleo, Buck Gonzales

and looking

all over for you.

It's a good thing

But he loves so good

He's a wicked man

But he loves so good

Or a jail

That could ever hold him

He's the wrong man

But he loves me right

He's the wrong man

But he loves me right

There ain't a pal or a gal

That could ever hold him

He'd do you dirty

So good

Oh, swell.

You know, I been doing a lot

of thinking about you lately.

Must be awfully tired.

What are

If there was music,

I'd say they was dancing.

Oh!

You know I always took

I guess the boys

will give me the laugh,

but I want you so much,

I want to marry you.

Well, that's

darn white of you.

Marriage? That will be

a new kind of racket for me.

What do you say?

It's a go.

Ladies frst.

Oh, thank you.

Let me get this straight.

If I win, I don't marry you,

but I get that strip

of land on the Delta.

And if you lose,

you marry me.

Yes, and I get

everything you've got.

Right.

Will you put it

in writing?

Sure, sure. I promise.

Wow. This is my lucky day.

Well, you took me.

And you're

all mine now, honey.

Well, what's happening?

(Chuckles)

She's got him

"toped, ride"..."ripe, toed"...

She's got him tied, roped

and "bready" for "randing"...

randy for bedding...

She's got him ready.

You ain't scared of me

'cause they say I'm a bad man?

I'm a good woman

for a bad man.

We'll get married tonight.

I'll get the justice

of the peace out of bed.

Wait a minute.

Don't rush me.

What's the matter?

It's going to take me

two weeks to get my trousseau.

Your what?

Wedding clothes to you.

You know, I'm a girl

that likes nice things.

Two weeks is

a long time to wait.

Well, I'll see what

I can do about it.

Set 'em up.

The drinks are on me.

We're celebrating, folks.

Two weeks from today,

Cleo and me are

going to be married.

(Cheering)

Speech! Speech! Speech!

Speech! Speech! Speech!

Well, I'm a woman

of very few words

but lots of action.

(Cheering)

Well, hello, Sheriff.

just in time to join us

in a little drink.

I don't drink

with a cattle rustler.

Oh, I thought cattle rustling

was stopped in these here parts.

That's what a lot

of people think,

but it ain't

never stopped...

with fellas like

Buck Gonzales around.

(Laughing)

That's right. Laugh.

Laugh while you can.

But someday I'm going to

get you and get you right.

Oh, Buck ain't got nothing

bad on his mind but me.

Excuse me a minute, baby.

I want to talk to the sheriff.

Where you going,

Cleo?

Be right back, boys.

Say, I hear you're going

to marry Buck Gonzales.

How'd you ever get him?

I just won him

in a crap game.

(Mooing)

The sheriff!

Open the gate and

stampede these steers.

I came here from the east

four years ago.

I don't know anything

about Buck Gonzales's

outside transactions,

but I can assure you, Sheriff,

that I have kept the books of

this ranch perfectly straight.

Oh, I don't doubt you.

I've been foreman

here for fve years.

None of us boys know

about this business.

There's a car coming

up the road now.

It must be her.

This is going to be

a terrible shock to her

on her wedding day.

Yeah.

Hello, Sheriff. Awfully nice of you

to come to my wedding.

What's the matter

with you boys?

I thought you were

going to greet me

with some wild shooting.

Uh, pardon me, Cleo,

but there's a reason...

and it ain't going

to be easy to explain it

on your wedding day.

You don't mean something

happened to Buck.

Yes, miss. I'm sorry,

but it couldn't be helped.

Oh. Show me where he is.

I feel sorry for her.

Yeah.

May I offer

my condolences?

It's been a good deal

of a shock to us all.

Yeah. I made a bargain,

and I was going

to stick to it.

I don't keep souvenirs.

Maybe you'd like this.

What is it?

It's an agreement

between Buck and me.

I guess it's

the frst time he

ever agreed with anyone.

Why, that's his signature.

Yeah. He signed it,

if that's what you mean,

and the sheriff sealed it.

I'm not so sure.

This says that

in consideration of your

consenting to marry him...

Buck signs over

all his property to you.

Yeah, but he

gets shot frst.

You kept your part

of the bargain.

You did consent?

I certainly did. Twice.

Hmm. Well, then I think

this is a matter

for the law to decide.

You don't mean that l...

Well, that will help

pay for my feelings.

Well, Miss Borden,

Mae West

Mary Jane "Mae" West (August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades, known for her lighthearted bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence. West was active in vaudeville and on the stage in New York City before moving to Hollywood to become a comedian, actress and writer in the motion picture industry, as well as appearing on radio and television. The American Film Institute named her 15th among the greatest female stars of classic American cinema. Often using a husky contralto voice, West was one of the more controversial movie stars of her day and encountered many problems, especially censorship. She bucked the system, making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her cinematic career ended, she wrote books and plays and continued to perform in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, on radio and television and to record rock and roll albums. She was once asked about the various efforts to impede her career, to which she replied: "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." more…
