You've got to go.
I got it up for you.
go. If clint and cupidon-
you're
an ungrateful brat-
right when you're on the threshold
of success if you don't weaken.
I know a man who's head over
heels in love when i see one.
Who?
Great heavens,
she says "who?"
Why, van steed,
of course.
He's what you want,
isn't he?
Yes, he's what i want.
Good girl. He's on his way here now.
Of course
he's what i want.
I've got to run-
do, running this ruckus.
I must keep remembering
that. I must be sane.
But you got to stand up to
his ma. I'll stand behind you.
Just deny everything.
That's a trick i learned
from my husband.
Caught him cold once
with a chorus girl.
He kept on denying it,
looking me right in the
eye until in the end,
darned if i didn't
believe the little liar.
You see? I'm not going to be like mama.
respectable and rich.
I shall have my life
the way i said
i should have it.
I really do look beautiful, don't i?
Am i as beautiful
as my mother was?
Yes, i am.
I am.
Oh, there he is.
One moment!
Finish, angelique.
Vite.
You're shaking
all over.
I'm not.
I'm clio dulaine...
and i'm very calm.
Is mrs. Du chenfrais in?
Dear bart,
good evening.
Will you have
a cocktail?
Angelique, bring a cocktail
for monsieur van steed.
No, thank you.
I never drink.
My digestion.
Of course. I've noticed
that strong men so often
have weak
digestions.
I came to fetch you
for the ball.
Oh, how sweet of you...
and brave.
You mean my mother.
How is
your dear mother?
I haven't
felt her claws
since the first delightful
meeting on the piazza.
Suppose we go down, and you can
inquire of her health yourself?
Oh, i should have
loved it,
but i'm waiting
for colonel maroon.
Maroon's away.
Yes, i know-
albany.
Tell me, isn't this
albany very near saratoga?
Yes, that's right.
But mr. Van steed, what
manner of country is this?
I hear there are
hordes of roughs.
They fight-fight like
savages for a railroad.
Where are the laws?
Where are the police?
That's nothing for you to
worry your pretty head about.
That's a man's business.
Really? And what are
you, yourself,
i mean?
I'm paying for it.
Oh, you coward.
You're afraid to fight
for your own railroad.
You're afraid
of your mother.
You're afraid
of everything.
Go away!
Get out of my sight!
Well, why don't you go?
You know, you're delightful
when you're angry.
I like a woman
with spirit.
Clio, will you
marry me?
I'm asking you
to be my wife.
Surprised,
aren't you.
Yes, i am.
I'll surprise you a lot
before i'm through.
You say that i'm afraid
of my mother.
It's time
that you understood
about me and mother.
People think that i'm
tied to her apron strings.
Mother's useful.
She shoos
the women away,
and i let her.
But when there's something
or someone that i want,
i get it.
You do the same thing,
don't you?
Yes, i do.
I schemed and tricked
to get you.
Oh, i know that.
When a man
has millions-
i lied to you.
I'm not a countess.
I'm clio dulaine,
and my mother was-
i know exactly who you
and your mother were.
My own mother told me,
and i told her to mind her own business.
You're what i want,
and i've got
what you want.
So what are
we waiting for?
Mother's down
in the ballroom now.
Suppose we go down
and see which one of
us will back out-
you or me?
Suppose we do.
Congratulations,
bart.
Yes, yes. Splendid.
How do they know?
Good news travels fast,
doesn't it?
Must have been some scrap,
eh, bart?
What has happened?
By gosh, he did it,
didn't he?
Who did what?
Knocked him sprawling.
Some man, that texan.
Clint!
Too bad
about colonel maroon.
Hear anything
more definite?
Clint! What has
happened to clint?
Nothing.
We have to pay a price
for everything.
Tell me
what you know.
People are looking.
I'll tell you later.
No! Now!
We understand that
Do you want me to strike you
Tell me what
has happened to clint?
We heard he was hurt a
little, but you know how he is-
you're lying.
You're lying.
He's dead. I can see it in your face.
He fought for you in
a miserable raid-
clint!
My, my,
mrs. Du chenfrais, ma'am,
you look right pretty.
I reckon i'm a sight.
Oh, clint, cheri!
Clint! Clint!
Clint!
I want to see
the boss.
Doctor say you stay
in bed. You stay.
Has he come to yet?
I don't find out
for one hour.
Still fainted?
Womanish, huh?
Plum disgraceful
to us maroons.
The last thing
i heard him say,
"here goes a maroon,
killed by a shovel."
I know.
I know.
I find out.
Has he come to?
Honey...
yes, clint?
Missed you.
Missed you a lot.
Oh, have you,
my cheri?
Been away so long.
No, no.
Doesn't matter.
We're together now.
Ain't ever going
to be separated again?
No, my darling.
Never, never, never.
I was a fool...
ought never
have left texas.
What?
Leaving you that way.
Sweetest little woman
in texas.
What?
Disposition
like an angel.
But, cheri,
i've changed.
Never hollering
at a fella,
never hightailing,
letting me
wear the pants.
But i'm just like mama now, truly i am.
Anyhow,
i kept your tie.
Don't know what
i'd done without it.
Look. I'm making one,
too.
Blue forget-me-nots.
Yes. Look, cheri,
look.
Kept it around
my neck always.
Should have
been a rope
for some of the things i've done.
Some of the flowers
are crooked,
but i tried.
with a foreign lady.
I'm ashamed.
Please don't say that. I know
you don't know what you're saying.
Funny what kind of
trouble you can get into
just by talking
to somebody
on the street.
But i told bart.
I said i hated him.
Got myself rich, too.
But i said i didn't want to marry
him, even with so much money.
I'm rich up to my neck. Be
richer, too, before i'm through.
I said i wanted
to marry only you.
Rich and respectable,
that's me.
Oh, don't punish me
anymore.
I'll cook for you.
I'll scrub for you.
If you leave me,
wherever you go,
i'll follow,
and i'll find you.
I'll let you wear the pants.
Honey, that's all
i wanted to know.
Clint!
Ha ha ha!
Son of a gun!
