Boys, I just want you to know

that from now on when you pick on

this lady, you'll be pickin' on my girl.

We didn't have any idea

the wind blew that way.

- Now you know. Spread the word around.

- Yes, sir.

What do you mean, your girl?

Prudy, for once in your life, play it smart

and keep your big mouth shut.

You keep out of this.

What do you mean, your girl?

Come on, you've had that look in your eye

since the first day I hit town.

We're gonna have an agreement. After

we're married, no matter how many kids,

when I say we're off to Australia,

we pack up, kids and all, and off we go.

What do I wanna go to Australia for?

That's where your husband would be.

Girls usually go where their husbands are.

Oh...

Well, when you put it that way...

Why don't you put me down?

I like it like this.

You want me to walk you home?

If you want to, Sheriff.

Say...

Are you really one of the richest girls

in this part of the country?

- The richest.

- That's nice.

That's real nice.

The way this story ends

is that they get married

and he goes on to become

governor of the state.

He never gets to Australia, but he keeps

reading a lot of books about it.

I get to be sheriff of this town.

Then I go on to become one of the most

beloved characters in Western folklore.
