worry about such things.
You're so-
you should have everything
that's beautl-
well, beautiful.
You're so kind.
You smoke cigarettes,
mrs. Du chenfrais?
Well, i've never seen a lady
smoke a cigarette before.
It's a continental
custom, i suppose.
I've smoked since
i was a baby.
Yes, but...
people will...
well, in a hotel,
people talk.
How kind of you to
protect me like that.
I'm not used
to american ways,
but a cigarette...
a cigarette is sometimes
cozy when one is lonely.
Don't you find it so,
mr. Van steed?
I'm a cigar
smoker myself.
Oh, but of course.
So masculine.
I shouldn't think you'd be
lonely, mrs. Du chenfrais.
You're so popular
and...
well, a woman
of the world.
Oh,
mrs. Du chenfrais!
Have i
said something?
A woman of the world.
Imagine for yourself if your
dear sister, for example,
would suddenly find herself
alone with only a servant
or two and knowing no one.
She follows the way to which she is
accustomed in her old loved america.
Is that a woman
of the world?
Oh, mrs. Du chenfrais-
clio, i...
you called me clio.
How dear, how good...
how friendly.
What?
You're such a help to me.
Help? I?
You can't guess how much
i would like to do for you.
All i can say is that your
friendship is the most beautiful thing
that ever happened
to me.
Shall we go in?
The music's started.
Colonel maroon.
Countess.
We might as well
get rid of this.
Van steed
won't be here now.
I saw him on the arm
of the countess.
You could have your poker game
if i could have the other arm.
the way for this french girl.
Or is the french girl
going for him?
Before he's through,
he might find that more
expensive than poker.
I'll tilt you
1,000.
Are they that
good, colonel?
You can throw in
a handful of stock
in that saratoga
trunk line of yours
if you're short of chips.
Looks like it won't be
worth much nohow
when soule and his crowd
gets through with it.
Why do you
want it?
Why are you
interested?
If i had it, i wouldn't let
anybody take it away from me.
Leastways,
not without a scrap.
And how do you propose to do that?
You don't understand
all this fight involves.
It's tied up
in politics.
Soule's crowd has
sewed up the law courts.
Law? Where
i come from,
possession is
nine points of that.
They've got
the legislature,
and they've
manipulated the stock.
Even down in texas,
we know that watering stock
don't only mean
just giving the cows a drink.
But you're right.
All that stuff-
dirty politics-
that ain't up my alley...
but fighting is.
I've never seen one yet
that wasn't won by
being quicker on the draw.
I'd fight them
barehanded-
same old plan
we used out west
when the sheepmen tried to run
the cattlemen off the range.
Soule's crowd
is wrecking your railroad.
You've got to keep it running
or lose your franchise.
I'd battle them bloody.
I'd run them off the range.
Lordy, lordy,
Where have you been
hiding this man?
I'd get me a bunch of boys
together, the real hard-muscled kind.
There's a lot of them
down where i come from
that don't like railroads any
more than they do rattlers.
Worse.
It's the wild east.
We hang men down there
for less crimes
than you boys do to
each other just in fun.
What can we lose that
we aren't losing now?
Maybe we'd better let this
minority stockholder in
just to take care of us.
All right, it will cost
you all a fistful of stock.
A big fistful.
It's worth it, colonel,
if you can do this.
I'll do it.
I'll go the whole hog
to put my brand
on that crowd that
came through texas.
I've got a little score
of my own to settle.
Win this, and you won't have to
stop with any fistful of stock.
I'll take you along with
me, right up the line.
I ought to warn you... likely,
i'll have the whole railroad
before i'm through.
Colonel, i think
you're my boy.
Just hang a welcome sign on the front
door of that house of yours on wall street.
You've just acquired
yourself a partner.
Morning,
colonel.
Hey, what's up?
The cats seem to be meowing
louder than ordinary this morning.
Colonel maroon, you kill
me the way you put things.
It's madame van steed.
Madame van steed
has arrived.
You don't say.
Battle 'em bloody!
Run them up the range!
Son of a gun!
Ha ha ha!
I listen to
all the poker games.
I'm just keyhole-sized.
Quit talking!
Wranglers and poker games-who
cares about all that?
Where's mr. Clint
all the time?
Where have you been?
You ain't touched
your lunch, honey.
Mr. Clint.
Saw the bellboy
stagger
and thought i'd help him with his load.
Bartholomew's
splurging.
Flowers. That's
a northerner for you.
Why ain't he sent you
jewelry?
To take jewelry
from a man
that's not your husband,
that isn't nice.
My ma never had any
husband any more than you,
but she got jewelry-
diamonds and ruby rings
I'll give you
my diamond stickpin
if you want it, honey.
How are you making out
with little bart?
Wonderfully.
That's fine, countess.
I reckon i just wasn't
worth frettin' about
that day
at the french market.
Where have you been,
clint? Why don't i see you?
Business-
playing railroad,
gettinne,
too.
You know, i'd like to
take you around, honey,
but i had a little
matter to attend to.
Now, bart, he'd come a
- running if he knew you wanted to go out.
Why don't you send
cupidon over with a note?
How dare you!
What's up? Have i said something-
how dare you say to me
that you're busy
and suggest that i go around asking
other men to take me here and there?
Hold on. I didn't say
I said bart. He's the man
you're fixing to marry.
Oh. So that's it.
You're jealous.
Yeah. Leastways, i
would be if i had time,
but i'm busy
as a sheepdog.
It's too bad your plan
isn't working out so well.
Whose plan isn't?
In a game like yours,
you got to work quick
and get out before
they find the pea
under
the walnut shell.
Yeah. It's too bad
you're too late.
Too late?
I sure hate
to tell you.
It seems
downright cruel.
Bart's mama's come.
Mama van steed.
Yes, ma'am,
countess.
The queen of saratoga, the head cat.
The lioness has come
to defend her cub.
When?
She descended this
morning, they tell me,
with her claws showing
and her fangs bared.
The other tabbies are paying court
to her on the piazza right now.
I wonder how your pretty
skin's gonna look in ribbons?
Angelique,
get my things.
Cupidon,
get the carriage
and take miss clio
for a drive.
I think she'll need
some fresh air.
You betcha.
Mrs. Du chenfrais
is coming now, mother.
De trigononai du chenfrais
de fiddlesticks.
She's an adventuress.
It's written all over her.
Good morning,
countess.
Colonel maroon.
Fetch her.
Oh, mrs. Du chenfrais.
My mother says she would
very much like to meet you.
She has heard
so much about you.
